' shopping area

June 9th, 1977, requesting that consideration be given to allowing
commercial development applications within the boundaries of Coast
Meridian Road, Dorset Avenue and Sefton Street, suggesting the possibility
of a real estate office next to the Royal Bank and a neighbourhood
public house or "gourmet" restaurant on the corner lot, and stating the
view that the alternative for the undeveloped property - either left as
is, or four unit townhouses per lot -cannot be justified economically,
or as the highest and best use to the core area of the Northside Village
shopping area. Supporting letters were also received from the Northside
Merchants Association, June 9th, 1977, and from Mr. William Luke, F.R.I.
R.I. (B.C.), June 9th, 1977, as well as a survey dated June 20th, 1977,

of the adjacent residents, indicating they favour the proposed commercial

development.

A discussion ensued, and Alderman Traboulay stated he felt the

policy of the Council not to permit commercial development further
northward on Coast Meridian Road at this time should not be violated,
and Aldermen Ranger and Laking generally agreed with the view expressed
by Alderman Traboulay. Alderman Thompson stated he was prepared to
permit commercial development up to completion of the lot at the South~
west corner of Dorset Avenue and Coast Meridian Road; however, Alderman
Mabbett stated he felt the conmercial development should end at the
Royal Bank building. Alderman Keryluk referred to the. concern expressed
by Council on ‘commercial strip' development, and he predicted this
would occur East of Oxford Street on the Lougheed Highway and in the
vicinity of Coast Meridian Road at some time in the future.
