Re: Industrial Activity Report

The Comittee has been actively persuing and informing Industrial
Clients on the availability of sites. In order our Committee could ascertain
the availability of land, a meeting was called on March 21st, 1973 to solicit
the ideas on evolving a community arproach co ceveloping an Industrial Area.
The meeting was well attended by B.C. itydvo, C.P.R. represenzatives and pro-
Puerty owners. The main topic evolved around servicing, zoning, timing and
the land freeze and its affects. ic was generaliy felt that a planning scheme
and servicing plan should be prepared which would puide development. In order
that all parties who om land in the area had an opportunity to comnent, a
follow up letter inquiring as to their proposed land use, willingness to par-
ticipate in servicing and permission for soil testing their properties was
circulated. Again the response was very good and compilation of the material
is being processed. There is a definite feeling of cooperation by the owners
aud it is expected a further meeting will be called upon completion. of our
submission for block exemption from Bill 42.
