5. With respect to the soil types and capabilities, a study
undertaken for the City this summer showed the properties in question
to be marginal for either agriculture or building. If the area is to
be used for *griculture, field drainage and summer irrigation must be
provided. Likewise, if the area is to be used for urban purposes,
better load bearing soil must imported and buildings must be elevated
above flood level. In summary, both uses success depend. on
improvements to the land.

6. In conclusion, it is this report's recommendation that the City
inform G.V.R.D and the A.L. Commission that the City does not support
this application. ce
