City of Port Coquitlan, 2580 Shaughnessy Street, Port Coquitlam, B. Cc. V3C 2A8 Attention: Mayor & Council Re: Cul-de-sacs Dear Mayor & Council: We respectfully request consideration be given to amending the present by-law limiting the length of road and cul-de-sacs to 150 metres in length. . We do not know the circumstances that gave rise to this by-law and we wonder if perhaos it was intended for residential sub- divisions only. From the inception of the preliminary layouts and subdivision plans for the Meridian Industrial Park, we have always shown that the intention was to have Kebet Way extend west from Broadway Street for a distance of approximately 300 metres. When we submitted our plans for the final phase of subdividing, it was brought to our attention that 150 metres was the limit~ ing distance for a cul~de-sac and consequently, we have had to grant an easement through a portion of our lands to allow for a "Loop". There are many industrial areas in other Municipalities where there are cul-de-sac roads that are much greater in length than 150 metres. Just off hand I can think of a few streets in the lower mainland, i.e. Still Creek Avenue off Dougls Road in Burnaby, the main street in the new industrial park at Boundary Road and Marine Way in Burnaby, Taft Avenue in Coquitlam and Glacier Street in Mayfair. These streets are ones that we are familiar with and I am sure there are others as well. aed oe | SAW 25 1990 5
