signs or other advertising devices and the posting of
notices is found in the Municipal Act, Revised Statutes
of Ontario 1970, Chapter 284 and in particular in
Section 354(1) 126 and 128;
whereas such enabling legislation does not permit
municipalities to
(a) enter upon private property to administer and
enforce a by-law enacted pursuant to the afore-
mentioned authority;
(b) require a person to obtain a permit prior to
the erection, alteration, relocation or
placing of a sign, and the charging of a fee
in relation to obtaining such permit;
(e) enforce a by-law, enacted pursuant to the
aforementioned authority, with respect to signs
that were unlawful on the day the by-law was
passed, until the expiry of 5 years from the
date of the passage of the subject by-law,
thereby giving lawful non-conforming status to
signs which may have been erected unlawfully
pursuant to a by-law preceeding The one now in
force;
(d) require that the owner of the land on which
a sign is situated comply with the by-law or
remove a non-conforming sign, if such sign
was erected after the passage of a by-law
enacted pursuant to the subject enabling
legislation;
(e) direct or require by by-law that a person
comply with the prohibitions and/or regula-
tions in the by-law, thereby depriving the
municipality from using, as a part of the
enforcement process, the powers set out in
Part XXI, Section 469 of the Municipal Act.
and whereas Municipalities regulating signs have
traditionally
(a) entered upon private property to administer
and enforce their by-law;
