Building damage deposit to rise

A fivefold increase in the amount of damage deposits to cover the costs of damage done to public works during construction was approved Monday ~by North Van- couver District council.

Meeting as a policy and planning committee, council adopted a staff recom- mendation to increase the $100 deposit per building permit, in effect since 1973, to $500.

This increase will be used to meet the rising costs of repair to damaged curbs, water connections, road allowances etc. incurred by building and development.

Alderman Ernie Cris@ questioned at some lengthy the proposed maximum off $1500 per applicant on the grounds that a_ singlef developer, building many; structures at once, couldf easily cause extensive} damage, far ‘in excess off $1500. ;

But he was assured by staff that there is a low incidence of damage in such

devolopments.
