May 5th, 1975

it was decided to refer the application back to the Committee. Since
then, the proposal has remained inactive until recently and meanwhile an
amendment to the Zoning By~law to lower densities in apartment zones was
introduced and adopted by Council on October 7th, 1974, which reduced

the density at the Westgate site from 18 to 9 units per acre. On April
25th, 1975, Mr. Toigo of Westgate met with the Planning & Zoning Committee
on an amended development proposal of 4 2-storey apartment blocks with

76 units.

Moved by Alderman Laking:

Seconded by Alderman Keryluk:

That as recommended in a report from the Planning & Zoning Committee,
May 1st, 1975, Application R#15/75 be approved for development under a

Land Use Contract; Subject to approval of final development plans and

approval of the City Engineer on servicing.

Prior to the question being called on the foregoing proposed resolution,
a discussion ensued, and the City Planning Officer explained that the
site of the proposed development was located South of Woodside Estates
and relatively close to the G.V.R.D. Housing Project, with entry from
Coast Meridian Road by private driveway. The Planning Officer further
advised that it was proposed to construct 2~storey "walk-up" apartments
with all surface parking. Mr. Toigo of Westgate Enterprises Ltd. was in
attendance at the meeting and on invitation from Acting-Mayor Alderman
Thompson, gave a brief outline of the project and mentioned the fact
that it will now be rental accommondation rather than condominium as
previously proposed.

Alderman Mabbett commented that when the proposal was considered
previously, the Council had a very strong preisrence for underground
parking; also, concern was expressed that the access rvad off Coast
Meridian would not be wide enough to accommodate a fire truck, particularly
with respect to turning; however, Mr. Toigo stated the project Architect
felt the access complied with the requirements in that regard. Alderman
Laking advised that because of the parking and other aspects the application
was submitted to Council for comment. Alderman Ranger inquired whether
the proposal would be sent to the City's Planning Consultant, Mr. Bruno
Freschi, for comment, and Acting-Mayor Alderman Thompson advised that it
would be. Alderman Traboulay stated that he was opposed to the project

last year because of the strata title plan; hovever, he advised he
