Mr. Gurjit Jawandha, owner of 4631 Sardis Street, appeared before Council to speak to the City’s intent to file a notice in the Land Title Office with respect to his property being in contravention of City bylaws.  Mr. Jawandha advised he built the house five years ago with a basement suite in the crawl space, to accommodate his mother who is looking after his children.  The speaker noted that Burnaby is the only municipality that requires crawl spaces and does not permit laneway homes, and he was hopeful that the City would change its requirements and his basement suite would no longer be in contravention of City bylaws. Mr. Jawandha further advised that the house is not on the market, he will be living in the house.
