               Executive Director,  Building  Division,  responding  to  a  request  by  Churchill
               Heights  Baptist Church  that their  building  permit  fee and  development charges
               relative to their building expansion program be waived, and recommending that:

                       (1)    the  fees for  the building  permit  be  collected according  to the
                              Building Permit by-law and not be waived; and

                       (2)    development charges  be collected  as per  the existing  development
