Bob Herr, 1966 Waddell Avenue, Council has closed Brown Street, the
rezoning is appropriate for the area, the company is known as being
responsible, although there is bound to be noise to a varying degree.
The area needs development but in a proper way and so urge Council to
turn down this rezoning application.

Dustin Baker, 1620 Connaught Drive presented a petition to Council
against the xezoning.

Gail Terrilon, 1419 Morrison Street advised of being a resident of
Port Coquitlam for sixteen years. Would like Council to clarify the
matter of trees; are the property owners required to put up a buffer
zone? Director of Community Planning replied that developers are
required to landscape the property and that in this case there are
considerably more trees than the minimum standard.

Bob Boileau, 1966 Waddell Avenue, spoke to clarify the matter of
trucks the number of diesel units are only four, although he has a number
of smalier trucks. Trucks will not be dispatched by a loud speaker. The
industrial area would increase the amount of taxes for the City.

Taylor Roman, 1662 Connaught Drive appreciated that the property
will most likely be rezoned but the greenbelt that is there now is only
60 feet and the buildings that exist now are visaible.

Ron Nile, 1839 Pitt River Road, concerned at the anount of employees
who will be working there and how many vehicles will be using the
residential roads and would the smaller trucks be able to use the
residential streets as they are concerned with for the safety of children
from schools and coming from games.

Mr. Boileau comments that the number of employees will remain the
same and that they already drive trucks here there will not be an
increase in traffic.

Wayne Robbins, 1638 Connaught Drive is opposed to the rezoning and
would like council to vote against it.

Marg Gordon comments that Industrial taxes do not effect school
taxes;, school taxes will not go down through the promotion of industry.

Tom Carss, 1644 Connaught Drive would like to know why residential
property was placed beside property that is being promoted as Industrial.

E.J. Brooks, 1682 Magellan Street, just moved from Burnaby bought a
new house in what he thought was a residential area and now has a truck
depot in his backyard and would like it on record that he is opposed to
the rezoning.
