THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM APR

Mayor and Council March 22ad, 1979

L. Lee,
City Planner File R#12-78

On October 23rd, 1978 a report of the Planning and Zoning
Committee was brought to Council recommending a one-storey commercial
project at 2612/2640 Mary Hill Road to proceed to Public Hearing subject
to first resolving the question of property exchange and cancellation of
Elgin Street east of Mary Hill Road.

Upon further investigation, it was discovered that there are
several utility lines through the middle of the Elgin road allowance and
only a 20-foot strip will be of value to the development. The land area
of this 20-foot strip is about the same as that of the part of Lot A of
the development site intended for exchange with the road allowance. This
can now be handled by way of a simple land exchange without any monies
involved.

The developer has expressed acceptance of the exchange and the
layout of the building has already been modified to suit the revised site.

If Council has no objections to the exchange, the Clerk's Office
will be in a position to prepare the necessary documents so that this project
can proceed to Public Hearing.

I would also recommend that cD (Comprehensive Development) zoning
be used whereby the development plans approved by Council can become a part
of the rezoning by~law. This will assure that the development will proceed

according to the terms approved by Council.

City Planner.
