gravity will carry the water downhill.

It is getting to look more and more like the issue we are discussing
is a financial one. It will cost more to build on the S.W. corner. If
that is the case we sympathize with the developers, but we don"t think we
are responsible, nor do we feel we should be expected to bear the brunt
of the costs by having our properties devalued, financially and aesthet-
ically.

If the tower cannot realistically be built along the commercial
perimeters of the property, there is an alternative -~ don't build it
at all! One obviously can get the same square footage of office space
by going up three stories on a larger base.

-The requested zoning change should be denied until the developers
revert to their former plan, or come up with a satisfactory alternative
commercial site for the tower. .

If City Council has any plans to allcw them to dump that tower into
the midst of our homes; then we request that Lancaster and Kitchener streets
be zoned commercial right along with it. Office towers and single family
dwellings are not compatable. If we are not allowed to enjoy our single
family dwelling as everyone else in Port Coquitlam does, we don't want
to live here anymore. Zone our property commercial and let us move some
place where single family residential means single family residential.
