would probably take place on compact sand and gravel material
brought in by the developer for construction.

The small water course on the site was persued in depth
by. the Committee and resolved that the existing water runoff was
mainly due to the soil conditions. It was therefore agreed that this
water should be picked up by a storm system and did not form an ine
tricate part of any major water systems.

Discussion with the present developer as to existing
foliage and their proposals ensued. It was pointed out that
subdivision lots with trees tend to sell easilier than those with-
out. Both developers agreed that they would try to maintain as
much growth as possible and further agreed to the tree topping
programme as outlined in the above comments.

Recommendation: The Committee recommends that the developments be
allowed to proceed provided a close liaison is
established with the City and that the co-operation of the develorers
with our Parks Foreman in the topping and keeping of those trees
found suitable by them be agreed to and followed.
