THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING SERVICES REPORTS AS FOLLOWS:

At a regular meeting of Council on April 13, 1981, the Following resolution was
passed:

“That as recommended by the Public Works Committee, May 7th, 1981, the proposed
townhouse development covered by rezoning application R#6-81, proceed only if
it is provided with access from two points as outlined in the report so that
whichever one is most practical can be used;

SUBJECT TO no left turn being permitted at the Pitt River Road access."

One additional factor that has affected the development is a policy established
by the Ministry of Uighways. On all arterial streets in Port Coquitlam,

the road width must be cighty (80) fect. Therefore, the applicant was required

to provide a seven (7) foot road dedication along Pitt River and Shaughnessy Roads.

The plans have been revised to take into account the requirements that must be

met prior to Gouncil review. The access points have been designed so that vehicles
will not use the private road as a means of shortcutting. While a detailed
landscaping plan has not been submitted, the site plan indicates private amenity
areas for each unit and the provision of extensive tree-planting. Ruffering along
the property edge fronting Pitt River Road and Shaughnessy will be required to
ensure both the visual and sound privacy to the residents.

The surrounding land uses are primarily single famiaiy residentiat, wien che one
exception being service commercial located due north of the site. A townhouse
development in this location is in accordance with the Development Guide Map

and may act as an incentive for future development in the areca. It is haped

that this form of project will eventually occur north of Pitt River Road and support
the local businesses in the downtown core. .
