Re: Phoenix Sash & Door AUG 20 1973

Mayor Scott and Alderman Mabbett met on Thursday, August i6th, 1973 with
respect to the above-noted matter and we are instructed to advise that the
Engineering Department has surveyed those ditches in the area that are the City's
responsibility and a cost of approximately $5,000.00 is expected to be incurred
to do the work necessary. This amount will be obtained from the 1973 Ditch
Maintenance Budget.

The By-law Enforcement Officer's report attached deals with the ditch
that is under the control of the Coquitlam Dyking District, the burning of
refuse (which has now stopped) and the house-trailer on the Phoenix Door property.

With respect to the non-conforming aspect of the operation under the
City's Zoning By~law we are still awaiting an opinion from. the City's Solicitor.
The fact that this operation has apparently never been a conforming operation
under the City's Zoning By-law may have a bearing on the action that the City
can take. Mayor Scott and Alderman Mabbett recomnend that the Solicitor also
be asked to advise on the possibility of charging Phoenix Sash & Door an amount
sufficient to compensate for the damage to Laurier Avenue being caused by the

trucks going to and from the Phoenix Door property.

tA,

City Clerk
