temporary tent, for the "Backs in Motion Event" sponsored by the Canadian Chiropractic Collage.

The permit fees normally associated with this type of application are $1/sqaure meter based on the area of the tent to a
maximum of $225.
Recommendations:
The Building Division advises that:
(1)upon a resolution by the Toronto City Council not to apply the requirements of the Building Permits by-law No.
163-1998 as it pertains to fees, to the above noted event, the Building Division has no objection to the waiving of the
Building Permit fees.

In the past North-York City Council and Community Council has waived the permit fees associated with this event. The
event is held annually at Sunnybrook Park, and will take place again on Sunday May 7, 2000.
Conclusions:
The Building Division does not have the authority to waive Building Permit fees associated with Building Permit
applications. The fees for Building Permit applications are set out the City of Toronto Building Permit by-law
No.163-1998, and only Toronto City Council has the authority to waive the fees set out in this by-law.
