Owners of a property on East Sixth Avenue want to buy a piece of city-owned land at the rear of their property.
The owners of 325 East Sixth Ave. want to increase the size of their property so they can add on to their 1939 house.
A staff-commissioned appraisal of the property, which was paid for by the applicants, determined the sale price of the land to be $38,000. The increased value of the home means the city would get approximately $80 more in property tax revenue from the property each year.
CANDIDATE PENALIZED
Harp Sihota has to wait awhile before he takes another run at civic office.
The Local Government Act requires candidates to file campaign disclosure statements by certain dates. Coun. Jaimie McEvoy filed a day late, which resulted in a $500 penalty.
Sihota, a council candidate, had not filed his papers by April 24, which means he won't be able to run in the next election. Candidates who didn't file disclosure papers by April 18 are not allowed to run in the next local government election in all jurisdictions of B.C.
