JIV} 1. 2. . 3. REEVE and MEMBERS OF COUNCIL December 1st, 1967. The Committee of Adjustment, a body appointed by Council to a position of trust, is charged with the responsibility of upholding the intent of the By-laws of Pickering Township as they relate to specific properties and the best interests of the Municipality. Council is charged with similar responsi- bilities, but do not, being a political body, have the power of varying the regulations except in accordance with the full formal procedure of an amending by-law and including Ontario Municipal Board approval. The Council have, by your indiscreet actions with respect to your recent approval of the Ballycliffe Lodge Limited addition, placed your Committee of Adjustment, Planning Board, and Ontario Municipal Board in an untennable position and made a mockery of their efforts. The legality of Council's action is extremely questionable, with it being suggested that a better method would have been to properly amend the offending by-law. The Committee of Adjustment, therefore, severely criticize the action of Council in issuing a building pe~it for an extension to the Ballycliffe Lodge Limited in view of con- sistent previous refusals not only by the Committee of Adjustment but also by Planning Board, Council, and The Ontario Municipal Board. Yours sincerely, D. Horsfield. Copies to Council. No action by Council.
