COMMENTS:

1. ‘This application was previously submitted in.
February, 1981, (File rezoning 10/81). The applicant, Mr. West
decided at that time his application was premature and decided
to not proceed. -

In.reviewing the earlier application submitted by Mr. West it
was the planning department comments at that time that the
application: be advanced.to the public hearing and recommended
approval. ~The reason, for a favourable recommendation was that
this proposal fits in with the predominant land use in the
vicinity, single family housing.

2. The present application by Mr. West (5/83) has been
submitted in conjunction with his neighbour Mr. Butchart and a
separate application by ' a neighbour at the north end of the
block, for subdividing all three properties within this block.
These three properties are the last remaining large parcels in
the area, the remainder of the neighbourhood has been developed
to an RS-l1 density as indicated in the earlier 1981 report.

3. In view of the surrounding development being single family
‘housing this application is for a similar form of development.
Its approval is recommended as it is compatible with its
neighbourhood. ;
