Item No. 13 -  Imperial Landing Water Lots

Mr. Pat Talmey, President, Garry Point Holdings Ltd., 8120 Lucas Road, spoke about the proposed development of the City water lots in front of Imperial Landing.  He asked that proposal calls for the development of these lots be open to all interested individuals; that short-listed proposals be presented to a public hearing for input from the public; that input be sought from property and business owners in the area adjacent to the water lots, and that a study be undertaken of the parking required for the development to determine how the provision of parking would be addressed.

Ms. Corisande Percival-Smith, 5760 Granville Avenue, referred to a recent newspaper article which suggested that a developer was already involved with the development of the two water lots, and expressed agreement with the previous speaker that the  proposal call should be open to all members of the public.
