RECOMMENDATION: That the Fraser River Estuary Management
Programme be advised that the City of Port
Coquititam finds the Proposed water use:

following exceptions. .

COMMENTS:

The Fraser River Estuary Management Committee are preparing a
kind of Zoning Map for governing use of the river (including
Pitt River) and its foreshore. In preparing this map, they are
requesting comments from the City about acceptability of the
designations.

Comments about the acceptability of the designations and thelr
conformance with the City's Official Community Plan are as
fol lows:

1. The recreational designation of the foreshore, dike path
conforms with the City's Official Communtty Plan
designation. It should be noted, the City wants continuous
access maintained along the length of the dike.

Log storage designation for the river its considered
acceptable as an ftnterim use. In the long tearm, dry land
storage Is preferred. The reason for this Is that other
higher uses are preferred, fe. industry and recreation.

Industry is the proposed future use of lands beside the
Pitt River south of Lougheed Highway to Broadway. The City
wishes to have this upland designation reflected in the
water use designation.

Coast Meridian Barge Landing is shown as an underdetermined
use. Following the City's Intentions as noted In 3 above,
the landing should be designated Industrial.
