Beecam Subdivision

Benefits

Reduces a dangerous 180' cliff to a slope suitable for
housing.. Site currently suffers sporadic rock fall and is
currently depositing silt into the neighbouring strata
development's drainage system. Reduction of the cliff will
seduce the hazard to children who frequently play around
the base of the cliff.

The cliff itself does not form a natural barrier as this
scarp is the result of gravel operations over a period of
years.. This area was originally a sloping hill. The
natural boundary to the G.V.R.D. boundary should be the
Hyde Creek to the east end of the Camex site. The current
G.V.R.D. boundary is an arbitrary line.

Most .recent Engineering Report by Coquitlam Engineering
Department (dated May Sth, 1983 - 2 days before G.V.R.D.
planning committee meeting) shows servicing of site is
feasible. '

Offsite services required for Camex site could benefit: other
property owners currently on septic and without storm drain-
age.

Servicing site will help control some of the wates runoff to
Hyde Creek thus helping to alleviate periodic flooding of

Hyde Creek further south in the Port Coquitlam area. Storm
drainage will also direct water away from the upper cliff area
which will reduce further erosion of the southern scarp area.
