by Mr. Ron Mann, the City's former consultant, and pointed out that it
defines the market area for the North side as being to the South of
Lincoln and to the East of Wellington with a second commercial centre at
Coast Meridian and Victoria; however, the North side shopping centre has
a much larger market area than that previously envisaged. Alderman
Ranger stated he felt that a number of 4' x 8' signs should be posted on
the property, with at least 3 adjacent to the new Greater Vancouver
Housing Corporation's 202-unit housing project, showing a sketch of the
development so people will know what is proposed. Alderman Ranger also
stated his understanding that there is a restrictive covenant on the
property in question and the City Planning Officer advised that such a
covenant does exist and that it restricts the construction of a supermarket
on the site wuntil‘the middle part of 1978; therefore, the development
would have to be undertaken in two stages. The City Engineer advised
that the anticipated road widening of Coast Meridian Road and Prairie
Avenuc would provide an 80' radius at that intersection; however, the
question of what would be required with respect to on-street parking has
not as yet been looked at. In answer to a query from Alderman Mabbett,
the City Planning Officer advised that the closest G.V.H.C. unit to the
proposed development will be just under 60' and Alderman Laking pointed
out that under the terms of a Land Use Contract, the developer will be
required to provide a concrete block fence and trees for screening along

the perimeter of the property.
