18, 1991 @ Few renovations don’t need building permit o you want to build a fence, add a sundeck or pave your driveway and you don’t know whether you need a building permit or not. There are very few minor modifi- cations that don’t need a building permit, like: window or door repairs and cupboards (if-exchanged for the same size, you’re OK), painting, retaining walls under one metre in height, and storage and garden sheds for residential use not exceeding 9.5 square metres (100 square feet). Keep in mind that all must comply with all other applicable bylaws. All other renovations not mentioned do require a building permit. When you're ready to obtain a building permit there are usually questions that you need answered. The first step is knowing when the building inspector is available to you. His hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. If you are short of time, please phone Nona and she will be happy to make an appointment for you. Generally, the information the building department requires is an application which can be obtained at city hall, a site plan, a detailed drawing of modifications or additions, materials being used and the value of the work being done. Once all information is submitted to the building department, it can take from two to 10 days for approval of The City Voice ANNE POLLOCK, the om | new minister of the Castle- pe gar United Church, is set- as tling in well enough despite having her car stolen in the process. Pollock’s blue, 1983 Toy- ota Tercel hatchback was stolen last week from Cedar Manor. But despite the initial shock and ongoing inconve- nience, she says she likes it here in Castlegar. “It’s a beautiful spot and the people are very friendly.” She moved to Castlegar on July 1 after eight-years at Lake Cowichan on Vancouver Island, a community about one-third the size of Castl witha i the size. Since then, she’s been away for a month so she’s still finding her way around. “T've been touring around, gettting know the people of the church and foding the back parts of Castlegar — it’s not all Columbia Avenue.” Pollock replaces Ted Bristow who was with the church for 19 years.
