Moved by Alderman Thompson:

Seconded by Alderman Laking:

That as recommended in a report from the Planniag & Zoning Committee,
April 1st, 1975, Application R#2/75 to rezone the Rem. of Lots A, B, &
C, N. 55' of A, S. 55' of B, Plan 10031, being a 4.8 acre parcel of land

located between Jervis and Hastings Street, and designate the same as a

"Development Area" following the proposed scheme of mixed development,

be approved; subject to:
Approval of final design of the proposal development;
Approval of servicing requirements by the City Engineer;
The granting to the City of an easement from Jervis Street
to the water~course.

Prior to the question being called on the foregoing resolution, a
discussion ensued, and Mr. M. Bjornson, Architect, representing the
developer, displayed illustrations of three proposals: the first being
for a 37-unit townhouse development; the second being all individual
units on smaller lots; and the third being some single family dwellings
and some townhouse units. Alderman Traboulay referred to the fact that
the Council had turned down a previous proposal for that area, and
pointed out that the predominance of single-family development in the
area is the key issue. Alderman Traboulay inquired how large a play
area is envisaged, and Mr. Bjornson stated he could not answer accurately;
however, the developer replied that it would probably be an area of
about 400' x 150'. Mr. Bjornson stated he was not trying to raise any
controversy, but was merely trying to get Council's sanction in principle
for the project. Alderman Keryluk stated he viewed the project as a
special kind of development because of its background, and proposed that
the Planning & Zoning Committee be directed to brief the residents in
the area in a similar fashion as was done in the presentation earlier
this evening; however, Alderman Thompson commented that no way would the
people in that area agree to the proposal. Alderman Laking stated he
agreed with the views stated by Alderman Keryluk.

Moved by Alderman Keryluk:

Seconded by Alderman Laking:

That the foregoing resolution respecting rezoning application R#2/75,

be tabled. Carried
Aldermen Ranger and Thompson voted against the resolution.
