Street Address:. 1452 Pitt River Road
Port. Coquitlam, - B.C.

“Please accept our request to ‘eppear before City Council: at. the next
“regularly scheduled Comeil Meeting on January 10, 1983. “The purpose ‘of our”
‘appearance would be to seek a waiver of Council policy restricting access’ to
‘residential property. in the 100 Block of Pitt River Road to lane access ony.

We: have made : an offer to purchase the above noted’ property. subject to.
(Council's approval for, driveway access to PLtt River Road. 5

os “The: reason ‘for our ‘request for a waiver of this policy is. the ‘financial’ ;
“burden the. construction of a parking pad. off the lane. would place on us. The’
lane at the rear of 1452 Pitt River Road is approximately three (3) feet
“higher than the rear, property. line » With the property: sloping steeply. downward -
stowards the’ front of the property. We estimate that a retaining wall: ati. ‘the
-front. of a-parking pad in such a location. would have to. be ‘in. ‘excess of. .
-@ight (8): feet high, “pequiring a good deal of conerete and fill. We ‘intend |
“to provide more definitive . figures as to ‘the cost of ‘such a parking: pad at.’
‘our appearance: before Council.- However, any such’ additional. expenditure as.
this would make our proposal to build on the. tot unar ffordable to. Us. ee

- me, oth aupport of our’ request: we would point out to ‘Council that every other De
“residence in. the 1400" Block of Pitt River Road: has. 3 driveway access to. Pitt: S

River: Road.

eee “Our intention. is to construct a “1205 square foot home with. an ‘enclosed’
garage. on this property, ‘gubject: to your approval for a: driveway access. to...
Pitt River: Road, -and :subj ect. to receipt of. the necessary, Departmental : ve

approvals at City Hall,

. We apol. ogize for not ‘presenting blueprints: along with, our ‘request. for
Council's waiver. of this policy, but. we did not wish to: invest ‘in ‘expensive |
bluevrints: until after hearing of your decision. We will present ‘scale:
drawings of ‘our proposed residence. when we appear at the Council Meeting.
_ Your ‘decision will determine -our purchase of this property. Tht

“Your ‘consideration of our request is most ‘appreciated .
