It looks like a county-wide fortification bylaw still has a few more hurdles to go before all of Wellington County’s municipalities make the endorsement.
Wellington North council, at the recommendation of its building and property committee, is sending the proposed anti-fortification of land bylaw and draft enforcement protocol to its solicitor for comment.
Both were presented to the committee by Chief Building Official Darren Jones.
Jones presented both at a recent meeting.
Mayor Mike Broomhead said Wellington North’s building department is still not happy with some of the things in the proposed bylaw.
Broomhead added while some municipalities have passed it, others are still reviewing it.
“Some of the building officials are not as happy as they could be with it,” the mayor added.
He said there are a couple of areas within the bylaw “where our staff want to know where they stand.”
That is why the legal opinion is being sought, Broomhead said.
