Seconded by Alderman Keryluk:

Council in connection with the draft Regional Plan be permitted to do so
for a maximum time of five minutes each.

Carried.
Alderman Traboulay voted against the resolution.

A short presentation was made by the Regional District representatives
and they advised that the draft plan was intended to be in conformity
with the Agricultural Land Reserve.

Alderman Ranger advised that he was in favour of an agricultural
designation being applied to the Lougheed Highway, Dominion Avenue, Pitt
River triangle and Alderman Mabbett generally agreed advising that he
could see no cause for concern if the triangle should be designated
agricultural. Alderman Keryluk advised of his Support for an agricultural
designation being applied to the land in question. Alderman Wright
inquired concerning a proposed ARDSA Development involving property
north of the area and Mayor Laking advised that an Industrial designation
would have no effect on that application.

Mr. R.J. Dick, representing Lake City Industries Ltd., owner of
property in the triangle in question, advised Council that his company
had owned the property for thirty years and that while certain agricultural
uses could be made of the property, or it could be sold for housing, his
firm was definitely in favour of an industrial designation being applied
to the land.

A Mr. Kynoch commented thet the various large firms owning land in
the area were permitting the same to become an eyesore in order that
industrial development on the Property would be approved to accomplish
an improvement in the appearance of the property.

Mrs. K. Muldoon referred to a recent petition signed by some eighty

persons that she had presented to a Public Hearing held by the Greater

Vancouver Regional District asking that the triangle area be designated

agricultural and presented several arguments in support of this view,
including the fact that the area was now being actively farmed, and also

that its conversion to industrial use would affect properties adjacent

to it.

Various other comments were received from members of the public in
