3.15 Since the proposed Camex development represents only a small
part of the service area, it is possible that a specified area
inittative would be overturned by the landowners east of Hyde
Creek, who may not feel their lands are ready for development.
Consequently, if the developer of Camex wishes to proceed, we
see three options:

A. Construct a separate pressure water system, as outlined
in our January 1983 memo report, at his expense;

Initiate a specified area petition for areas west of
Hyde Creek, north of Mason Avenue, spreading the cost
for instance, of Item 1A (175,000) over 202 lots, at
a unit cost of about $866/lot.

Request the Municipality to establish a development
cost charge area over the area bounded (and including)
Camex, Hyde Creek, Mason Avenue and the escarpment.

4.00 CONCLUSIONS

4.01 The. report by Golder Associates and the emerging development
pattern of the NORTH EAST sector, suggest that the Camex proposal
be considered within the boundaries of a sanitary sewer service
area, extending west from Hyde Creek, south to Mason Avenue,
north to Hazel Avenue and embracing perhaps 200 potential RS-#

Tots. .

.To minimize the number. of crossings of the escarpment; to
maximize the benefit of a central sewage collection system, and
to make logical provision for future connection to a North East
sector sanitary collector for Burke Mountain, Alternative C, as
depicted on Exhibit C,is indicated. This comprehensive system
might cost slightly more than $425,000 over a period of years.
In the short. term, however, an expenditure of perhaps $150,000
might.be sufficient to give Camex (142 lots), and the Oxford/
Willerton area (60 lots) an opportunity to connect to a ‘spinal’
sanitary sewer main running down Oxford, over the escarpment,
and connecting. to the Municipal trunk system on Shaughnessy

Street.

‘The nature of the By-law adopted in 1967 to form a sewer
enterprise in Coquitlam may mitigate against using the specified
area approach for sewer. The Municipal Solicitor is researching
the by-law, and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs has also been
asked for comment. This leaves only two alternatives other than
prepayment by the Developer; establish a development cost charge
area; or plan an expenditure by the sewer enterprise to provide

a Municipal facility.
