Bosa Development Corporation be advised that after reviewing the matter

A Rezoning application for the subject properties was submitted to the

Public Information Meeting be held on this project.

The Public Information Meeting took place on June 8, 1989 with a number of
concerns being expressed by residents in the area.

these concerns, the most significant were:

Increased traffic due to the opening of Shaughnessy Street;
Provision of appropriate park land in the area;

Preservation of some of the existing vegetation;

Preservation of the Poco Trail;

Concerns about stability of the slope where townhouses are proposed.

After the Public Information Meeting, the Municipal Council put the
project on held pending an overall concept for the development of the area,
including the applicant's land and the City's own lands.

Working in consultantion with Municipal Staff, on March 29, 1990 the
applicant submitted a Concept "Neighbourhood Plan" that includes all tands
west of Mary Hill Road and south of Pitt River Road. Two alternative "Concept

Plans", which are illustrated in the attached Drawings No. 2 and 3, are

included.

The Neighbourhood Plan shows identical development of the applicant's
property in both of the suggested Concept Plans; the only major difference
between the two concepts is the location of the larger park proposed for this

area.
