Land Use Contract concerning the size, shape and siting of buildings and
structures and various other matters.

A memorandum from the City Clerk, April 22nd, 1975, was submitted
recommending that prior to third reading of By~law No. 1373, Land Use
Contract No. 11 (which forms part of By-law No. 1373) be amended in the

following manner:

1. That Clause (b) of Section 5 be re-numbered as Clause (c).
2. That the following be inserted as Clause (b) of Section 5:

"After the buildings, structures, and improvements have been sited
upon the land in accord with the provisions of Clause (a) of this Section
the City of Port Coquitlam Board of Variance shall hear and determine
any Appeal by a person who alleges that the strict enforcement thereof
would cause him undue hardship, in which case the Board may, to the
extent necessary to give effect to its determination, exempt the person
and subsequent owners of the building or structure from the provisions
of Clause (a) of this Section."

Alderman Laking then briefly spoke to the proposed amendment to the
Land Use Contract noted above and explained that this would permit
persons to construct additions to their residences once the project has
been completed, provided they are granted permission so to do by the
Board of Variance.

His Worship the Mayor then inquired whether anyone wished to speak
against the By-law and Mr. Lawrence Rauser, 2159 Salisbury Avenue,
inquired whether it is inteaded to improve that portion of Perth Street
at the rear of his property which is presently being used as a lane by
some of the residents, and the City Engineer advised that there are no
plans at all for that portion of road allowance and specifically no
requirements in the proposed development to do anything in that regard.
Mr. Rauser commented that the road allowance is in a very rough condition
and Alderman Thompson advised that if the condition of the road allowance
is what is really of concern to Mr. Rauser, that can be rectified quite
easily.

No other person was present to speak in opposition to the proposed
By-law.

The Public Hearing was concluded at 7:35 p.-m., and the regular
Council meeting then commenced.
