“I have for reply your memos of December 24, 1974, regarding the above-men-_
tioned bylaws. ;

Since the amendments contained in these bylaws do not involve the rezoning
of any specific parcel of land, we hav: no comment regarding the flood haz-
ard for any particular area. We do, however, recommend that the City of _...-'
- Port Coquitlam include an overall floodplain clause in their bylaw, at this
time, when they appear to be incorporating a number of administrative changes.
“We -would recommend the incorporation of the following clause in the General
Provisions Section of the zoning bylaw for the City of Port Coquitlam:

“Notwithstanding any other provisions of this bylaw, no building shall be
‘constructed, nor mobile home located: . '

-a) with any part of the floor system of habitable spaces; or in the case of
a mobile home, the ground level on which it is located, lower than:

i) two (2) feet above the defined 200-year flood profile for the Fraser
and Pitt rivers, at the point on the river nearest to the building
location. ,
ten (10) feet above the natural boundary of the Coquitlam River.
five (5) feet above the natural boundary of any other watercourse.

within one hundred (100) feet of the natural boundary of the Pitt, Fraser
or Coquitlam rivers, nor within fifty (50) feet of the natural boundary
of any other watercourse. if landfill is used to achieve the required
elevation, the toe of the fill slope shail be no closer than the above
distances from any natural boundary. So

These requirements may be reduced in specific cases by the Deputy Minister of
Water Resources," . .

. oy

Flood heights and gradients for both the Pitt and the Fraser rivers will be
made available to the City of Port Coquitlam on request from the Water —
Resources Service. . ,

For clarification, “the City of Port Coquitlam may wish to include the follow-
; ing definitions in their zoning bylaw: .
