SUBJECT: Servicing Requirements for Phase I! Harbourview
Estates ~ Public Works Committee Aprif 21, 1987

Recommendation:

That the request for a Development Variance Permit to
relax the requirements Of construction on Pit¢ River Road be
not approved.

Background and Comments:

The developer of Phase || of Harbourview Estates has
questioned the servicing requirements for his proposed
subdivision because the requirements for widening of Pitt River
Road was not included when the previous
subdiviston was given tentative approval,

The original application for subdivision was made in 1981.
At that time the plan was for a 101 fot Subdivision to be done
In one phase. The ortginal Subdivision could not proceed
because of a lack of water supply and sanitary sewer In the

area.

Various studies for provision of water supply and sanitary
S@wer service were undertaken, and in 1984, the developer was
given tentative Ssubdiviston approval of the entire subdiviston
with engineering requirements that inctuded construction of a
Sanitary sewer pumping station but did not include any
construction on Pitt River Road. The developer did not proceed
with the subdivision due to the high cost of the sewer works
and and to the fact that water supply was stil] dependent on

Genstar.

in 1985 the City entered into an agreement with Genstar
and a consortium of six developers to pre-service the area with
water and sewer and +o repay the costs out of development cost
charges. This new agreement completely changed the terms under
which subdivision could occur in this area. The developer then
made a new application for subdivision which included only 79
lots and left the remaining 22 lots for Phase ||.

The developer has now applied for Phase Il! of¢ the
subdivision and has been given engineering requirements which

include the Widening of Pitt River Road to the standards
