Acting Mayor Alderman J.J. Keryluk advised the following proposed
Bylaw would now be considered:

Bylaw No. 2396: to rezone

Lot 5

D.L.e 231, 232, 255, 288, and 384
Group One

Plan 11613

New Westminster District

This property is located at 1611 Broadway and the proposed Bylaw
would permit a phased development of.a trucking company depot.

Don Carss, 1644 Connaught, is opposed to the rezoning and has
concerns regarding the hours of operation, will trucks be coming in and
out all hours of the evening, and would loud speakers be used. Would
heavy equipment be used all hours in the maintenance and storage sheds.
Would dangerous goods be stored there as not 600 feet from this area is a
primary school with 500 children. The people have voted Council in to
look after the benefits of Port Coquitiam residents and hope that Council
will vote against this rezoning.

Helen Baptiste, 1632 Connaught Drive, is opposed to the rezoning the
property is directly across from her home and two years ago they were
told this property would be rezoned light industrial and that Brown
Stzzet would be closed and zoned park land. Many trees have been knocked
down on Poco Trail there are a number of sand piles which are a danger to
children. Would like to know why = trv-k depot is being built here when
there are many properties on the ‘:, Hill bypass that are not zoned
residential.

Harvey Hatch, 938 Brunette, Coquitlam, Architect for the property.
At Broadway there will be an Office Area, a Maintenance shop at the back
of the site will be for storage of trailezs. They propose to maintain a
5 to 8 foot fern to enclose the back of the site, colors of the building
will be muted blues.

Dave Budgeil, 1629 Knappen Street is opposed te the rezoning and
believes it will cause an air and noise pollution problem. He would like
to stay in the neighborhood for many years and would like te see industry
stay out of the area.

Bob Boileau, 3241 Toronto Street, would like to clarify type of
business to be operated. Hours of operation are approximately 7:00 a.m
to 8:00 p.m. the diesel rigs, (4 or 5) only come in for oil changes and
minor repairs major repairs are done in Langley, only light trucks will
be kept on the property. As far as noise from speakers, none will be
used as the trucks are radio equipped. He pointed out that the property
has been designated for industrial use since 1971.
