We were required to separate our building
from the residential area to the south by

66 feet, representing in the view of Council
ati adequate separation between residential
and industrial uses.

Should residential use be considered on the site,
we would expect that the 66 foot buffer strip between our
building and the adjacent residential area be maintained.

As well, if these lots are provided with lane access, the
lane would nave to be located a sufficient distance away

from our building so as not to make our building non-conform~
ing. This land would then have to become a part of our lot.

We believe that the main reason that a previous
application for industrial use was rejected by Council in
1989 was that the proposed development included a number of
driveways leading onto Taylor Street. If Council were to
limit access to McLean Avenue only, an industrial use could
be very suitable for the site and adequately screened along
Taylor Street.

A recent Real Estate review of the Lower Mainland
cited that Port Coquitlam was one of the most deficient

municipalities with regard to potential industrial sites.

We would be very sorry to see this site developed
for residential use simply because residential land values
happen to be higher at the present time than similar-sized
industrial sites. : It is our impression that neither the new
owner nor the agent representing the new owner are anticipa~
ting building their dream homes on this site.

At your upcoming Planning Committee meeting
scheduled for April 9, 1991 Van's Investments will be
represented by Mr. E. Verbeke who is the major tenant
at 1870 McLean Avenue and by Mr. W. C. Van Leeuwen. I
will also attend if I am available. I do not anticipate
that it will be necessary for us to speak at the meeting
but we would like to be in attendance.

It is our hope that Council will follow the
recommendation of the City's Director of Planning by not
supporting the rezoning and redesignation of this site.

Thank you for considering our input.

Yours very truly,

(Mes.) Anne Kennedy,

Director of Land
