him and asked to be excused from the meeting. Alderman Leaking: left ‘the

meeting at 7:33 p.m.

The City Planner explained the proposed residential development
advising that a new church replacing the existing Hope Lutheran Church
would be built and a residential subdivision with 19 single family lots
and one duplex lot would be created. The City Planner further stated
that 20! of the undeveloped road allowance would be used for a lane
running east and west just south of Prairie Avenue.

Mrs. Aitken, 1880 Prairie Avenue, asked if the lané could be blocked
off so it would not be used as a through route by other than residents
and further enquired if the road allowance would be sold to the developer.

The City Planner advised the lane would be necessary as an additional
access and egress from the subdivision and that the road allowance formed
part of a road exchange agreement with the developer.

Mrs. Takach, 1872 Prairie Avenue, stated there is presently rear
access to the properties facing Prairie Avenue. The City Planner advised
the proposed lane would be 20' wide and would be a paved lane.

Alderman Mabbett stated it had been requested by the residents that
Grant Avenue not be open, therefore the Planning and Zoning Committe?
looked into an adequate road pattern using a lane as an additional

access.
Mrs. Smith, 3146 Oxford Street, asked for clarification on the

elevation of the new subdivision. The developer, Mr. A. Ricard, stated
-the development would be consistent with the present elevation of the
existing residences.

Mrs. Aitkin, then asked if the development did not proceed could
the road allowance be rezoned and the residents on Prairie Avenue be
given the opportunity to purchase it. The City Planner advised that the
property could not be rezoned for that reason.

Mrs. Takach asked if the lane could be placed in the centre of the
road allowance the way the present access is situated. The City Planner
advised this would not be possible as it would leave a strip of unusable
land.

The Public Information Meeting adjourned at 7:57 p.m.
