TO: Mayor and Council April 22nd, 1976

FROM: Community Development Committee

The Community Development Committee met on Wednesday, April 21st, 1976.
Present were: Alderman M.A. Thompson, Chairman

Alderman E.W. Mabbett

V.G. Borch, P.Eng., City Engineer

L.D. Pollock, City Administrator

The Committee makes the following recommendations:

1. Subdivision - Imperial Avenue

The Committee received a request from Grampion Ventures Ltd. to
acquire a 20 foot strip of Imperial Avenue to permit a more advantageous
subdivision of the parcel. A map of the proposed road layout is shown
and you can cee that Imperial Avenue is presently 80 feet wide and the
20 foot strip could be added to the adjacent land asd reduce the width of
Imperial to 60 feet. This road layout is in accordance with the pre~
planning scheme prepared by the City some time ago in order to accommodate
@ proper road pattem for this whole area.

The Committee recommends that we approve the sale of the 20 foot strip
as requested by the Developer and that the land be sold at $1.50 per square
foot, provided the Developer pays the Legal and Survey costs.

2. Sale of Land to Department of Highways

Council will recall that we recently agreed to purchase a piece of
land on the south side of the Lougheed Highway and on the east side of the
Coquitlam River as an addition to the Lions Park area and that a small
portion of this land was required by the Department of Highways for highway
widening purposes.

The Department of Highways has submitted the necessary papers to us to
acquire their portion - being approximately 3,624 square feet - at an agreed
rate of 90¢ per square foot, for a total sum of $3,261.60.

The Land Registry Office has required a subdivision of this parcel before
the City can obtain title from the present owner and therefore the land
transaction has not yet been completed, however, the Committee recommends that
the sale of 3,624 square feet of land to the Department of Highways as previously
agreed, be approved, provided that the Department of Highways assume the cost
of preparing the subdivision plans required for this transaction.
