COUNCIL PRESSES FOR REPAIRS TO HOUSES WHERE POT WAS GROWN

CHILLIWACK - Council wants to hear from owners of two properties on
which marijuana-growing operations were found as to why the city
should not close the homes until they are no longer hazardous.

Council has passed motions inviting the owners of 45832 Wellington
Ave., a numbered company from Vancouver, and 4985 Cultus Lake Rd.,
owned by Michael Anthony Janecky and Eva Maria Janecky, to a show
cause hearing May 2.

City staff have found in both cases the homes fail to meet building
permit requirements for health and safety reasons.

"Both properties had marijuana grow operations," staff member Lisa
Thompson told council April 18.

The owners will be permitted to ask for additional time to repair the
properties. If they do not make the repairs they will face costs from
the city for having the work done.
