larger tracts of land at various locations in the City and the Committee
recommends that this land be retained for possible future development
rather than disposing of this land to the G.V.R.D. or Province for other
forms of public housing.

Moved by Alderman Mabbett:

Seconded by Alderman Keryluk:

That Recommendation No. 5 set forth on Page 14 of the Report of the

Housing Committee, City of Port Coquitlam, April, 1975, be adopted.
Carried.

Prior to passage of the foregoing resolution, Alderman Mabbett
commented that the areas recommended seem to lend themselves to pilot
Projects. Alderman Laking stated he agreed with the two areas specified
for pilot projects; however, he felt that with respect to retaining
other larger tracts of City~owned land for possible Future development,
this should be left flexible enough to be able to consider if a good
proposal is brought forth. Alderman Ranger stated his concern that the
water problem has not been solved in the Taylor Street area, and Alderman
Thompson advised that this will be referred to the Public Works Committee
for study. Alderman Ranger pointed out that at a Planning & Zoning
Committee meeting some time ago, an application from a resident of that

area for rezoning was turned down, and Alderman Thompson advised that the

whole lower area will be again reviewed now that (a) the policy has been adopted;

and (b) the City Engineer has stated that the water problem is not severe.

6. Further Studies: The Committee is concerned about the shortage of

rental accommodation and recommends that the future work of this Housing
Committee be directed towards a review of this problem.
