Submissions from the floor:
 

Ms. Carol Powell, a resident of Rivers Reach, stated that she had been advised when she purchased her home that any development on the subject property would be two storeys in height and not the 3 storeys now being proposed.  As well, she advised that the development application sign on the property indicated that 62 units would be constructed, while the letter from the City had indicated 66; she also questioned the intent of subsidized housing and how this would impact the proposed development, if at all.
 

Ms. Joanna Rock, a resident of 5800 Andrews Road, voiced concern about the degree to which the roof top of the proposed complex would impact on those residents of 5800 Andrews Road who at the present time had a view of the mountains.  She also questioned whether the entrance way to the development could be provided from No. 2 Road rather than Andrews Road, because of the potential increase in noise and traffic congestion on Andrews Road resulting from the project.
 

Mr. Bob Ransford, 5071 Steveston Highway, stated that scenic views could not be guaranteed, and he urged Council to support a well designed development.
 

Ms. Carol Powell (supplementary presentation), questioned when construction would commence.
 

Ms. Olga Ilich (supplementary presentation), provided information on the timing of construction, and in response to questions about building heights, the architect for the project, Mr. Wayne Fougere used a site and elevation map of the project, to explain the proposed building height in relation to the existing street grade.
 

Ms. Joanna Rock (supplementary presentation) spoke further on the issue of building height and questioned how the road elevation had been taken into account in determining building height.

Submissions from the floor:
 

Ms. Sandra Kilpatrick, of 22100 Wilson Avenue, expressed concern about the removal of all the trees from the existing property and the backfilling of that property over the tree debris and garbage which had been left on the site.  She provided information on an easement which existed at the rear of her property, which she had been told, was part of her property.  Ms. Kilpatrick then reported on the removal of trees from her property and the destruction of the support system during the preloading process, which had kept her fence (located on the rear property line) erect, and on the difficulties which she was having in getting the developer to repair the fence. 
 

Mr. Patrick Cotter, applicant, and accompanied by Mr. Doug Dueck, of Premier Pacific Development came forward.  Mr. Dueck then provided information on the preloading of the subject property and commented on the damage referred to by the previous speaker.  He indicated that he would be prepared to replace Ms. Kilpatricks fence during the construction process.
 

Ms. Sandra Kilpatrick (supplementary presentation), spoke further on the location of the easement in relation to those properties and the subject property which was located south of Wilson Avenue, and the siting of the fences in relation to this easement.  She also expressed concern about the filling in of the drainage ditch located in the easement and the impact which this could have on flooding in the future.  Ms. Kilpatrick asked that her fence and her neighbours fences be re-erected along the south property line.
