main advocates of the height
restriction, Mayor Don Bell,
was absent.

Aldermen John Lakes,
Gordon Rose and Emmic Crist
supported the bylaw, while
Jim Ball, Mike Lakes and
Mary Segal voted against it.

Ball called the defeatcd

happen, he wondered, if a
building now over the limit
burned down? The owner
wouldn't be able to rebuild it
to the previous height, he
argued.

But Powcll said the bylaw
would have been the only
way to control development
in commercial zones.
