Re: H.A. Roberts Subdivision West of Bedford Street

. In 1976 Council granted approval to a request from
the District to allow an industrial subdivision west of Bedford
Street with access to Bedford Street. Council set conditions
at the time that Bedford Street would be reconstructed and
paved to an industrial standard and that the District confirm
the type of industrial development that will take place.

. We have received a revised request from the District
based on a new subdivision layout as shown on the attached
sketch. This layout is necessitated by the fact that Highways

‘has obtained a road allowance through the property for a future
Coquitlam River crossing. Another change from the original
subdivision is that the proposed subdivision now includes lot
A which has frontage on Bedford Street. The District has con-
firmed that. they will be supplying water and sewer to the sub-
division and therefore all that is required from the City is

access.

In this situation it would be difficult to deny access
because the property does front on Bedford Street. However, it
is still possible to control the servicing as part of the sub-

division requirements. The City Approving Officer must sign the

subdivision plans.

The present zoning on the northerly site is M-1 which
is general industrial while the proposed zoning on the southerly
site is M-2 which is service industrial. Both of these uses
generate a considerable amount of truck traffic.

The Committee recommends that the proposed subdivision
be approved subject t6 Bedford Street being reconstructed and
paved from the south property line to Kingsway to a full indus-

trial standard.

Respectfully submitted,
