October 3rd, 1377 Peter Schaumann, 559 Laurier, stated that all areas should be under floodproofing, not just one area and that Dyking would be a better solution than floodproofing. He further advised that in his opinion there should be a Provincial law enforcing floodproofing equally to all areas. Mr. Frank Rayner, owner of property at 3323 Devon Road, stated that under Section 702 of the Municipal Act the Council should pay attention to conservation of property values which were affected by this Bylaw. Mr. Glen Bays, 2552 Burns Road, advised he has just started a nursery business on the above-mentioned property and this Bylaw would cause a financial hardship if passed. Lorraine Rayner, owner of pruperty at 3323 Devon Road, objected to the Bylaw as it interfered with a persons right to develop their property, particularly basement areas. Alderman Ranger suggested the City take the minutes of this meeting back to Minister of Municipal Affairs, along with correspondence and pertinent information and explain the hardships that would be created because of this Bylaw. Mayor Campbell advised he telephoned Mr. Kerster who advised the City should ask people to sign waivers against water damage but the City Solicitor Mr. Ken Thompson, advised the City would still be responsible. Alderman Laking felt the first approach should be to Victoria and the Council may ask the public to assist in its presentation. Alderman Thompson stated he felt the Bylaw was more severe than origianlly intended. Alderman Mabbett stated that although it is unfortunate that the Council has to have meetings such as this Public Hearing, it is good to have the people come out and express their feelings and that as a result, a committee should be able to be formed with members of Council and members of the public to meet with Victoria officials to work out some reasonable solution. Sherrill Gullickson, 519 Laurier Avenue, stated that if it was necessary to go to Victoria she would be more than ready, but inquired if the Victoria officials had ever come to Port Coquitlam, to see what the situation is really like.
