On February 28, +973, GVRD Housing staff, acting on behalf of
tne, Province in latd-~acquisition within the Regional District, attended
your Planning Committee TCOVINg « The purpose of our presentation was to
inform tie Commitee oF tre GVAD and Provinslal invoivemensy in purcnase
of the pand, and to disci USS Our inveniions regarding the future develop-
ment of tne property, + on Order fox Western Reality to subdivide their
land and convey Title.

With xespect to xoad ciosures, our position was that these
would be xequired. Howe ver, ciosures could be applied for ater when
developient plans were veing processed. Our main concern was that a sub~
division of the northern parcels Zrom vie southern parcels be effected
specdily. We expressed av that tine our feeling that the City, through
wheir zoning process, wound enjoy land use control over the residual
Western Realty parcei and thas sundivision would not anmpromiaa that
controle .

As fax as development was corcerned, we outlined general ideas
for ixed housing types, including townhouses, low~medium density single
Guy arc patio nousing, comunivy Zaciidtces and day care.

The density would be reduced from that permitted under the Tren

present zoning, Dus had to be realistic in ters of the land price. ae

Approximately 220 unius wouid be Sailt, compared with Western's plone

for 380. The Committee ancdicavcd to us that they hoped developnient

would not de insaeciate, Dut delayed until such time as the problems with
schools were soxted ou. GVND concur with this, ard accordingly are not
ana posivion to present Cetaiis of possitile ‘deveLopment oeyond the genexal
Concepts Oliusned abdove. ‘
