surrounded by housing. The Committee, in its report, commented that invariably a
wide variety of fencing styles and sizes appear around the perimeter of the park,
and that it is felt the best form of design would be a simple chain link fence with
a gate for each parcel of land abutting. It was further suggested in the report
that the green vinyl-coated .type of fencing would be the most attractive and pre-

ern owners should be encouraged to plant shrubs along the fence line for privacy
and to improve the appearance of the fance.

Moved by Alderman Ranger:

Seconded by Alderman Thompson:

That as recommended in a report from the Planning & Zoning Committee, March
21st, 1974, where park land of the small “tot lot" size is dedicated in future
subdivisions, developers be required to construct green vinyl-coated chain-link

fencing around the perimeters of such parks with a gate for each parcel of land

abutting. Carried.

Mayor Campbell and Alderman Thompson voted against the resolution.

Prior to passage of the above-stated resolution, a discussion ensued and
Alderman Ranger poined out that fencing around the present small parks is very
unsightly in some instances whereas chain link fencing is attractive and mainten-
ance free, Alderman Thompson stated he appreciated the necessity for standard
fencing, but commented that the cost will be passed on to the purchaser by the
developer. Alderman Thompson also mentioned that the chain-link type of fencing
does not provide privacy and stated he was opposed to the motion. Alderman Ranger
pointed out that inexpensive, fast-growing sarubs can be planted inside the fence
dine or strips of plastic can be woven through the fence for privacy. Mayor
Campbell stated he felt the purchaser should have the right to fence his property
the way he wishes, and that he too, was opposed to the motion.

From Mayor J.M. Campbell, March 22nd, 1974, mentioning that the Sports
Centre near George Pearkes Junior Secondary School will be completed this year,
and in view of this, recommended that the Council request the Bureau of Transit
to change the present bus route on the North side to go up Coast Meridian, across
Greenmount, and down Wellington to Prairie.
