under date of its March 15th, 1976 letter concerning the sharing of maintenance Westwood St.
(formerly

costs for the C.P.R. crossing of old Highway No. 7 (now Westwood Street), and Highway #7)

pointing out that when this was an arterial highway route, the Department of

Highways paid 50% of the cost of maintenance and operation of automatic pro-

tection at the crossing; however, now that the route has been desclassified,

the City of Port Coquitiam has been asked to accept 25% of those costs. In

his report, the City Clerk stated that in response to his request, the City

Engineer recommended that the City accept the 25% share providing the District

of Coquitlam accepts a 25% share also, and in a conversation with the Municipal

Manager of the District on March 24th, 1976, he had been advised by him that

he thought this a fair way to resolve the situation although the matter has

not yet been considered by his Council.

Barberry Drive (next door to the subject property) was very upset to learn
that Council had approved the previous application; also, that Mr. Horst
Pothmann, 1414 Barberry Drive - another neighbouring resident - was in at-
tendance and at his request, it was agreed that Mr. Pothmann be permitted to
speak to the application. Mr. Pothmann pointed out that there are a number
of large multiple family developments under construction in close proximity

to his home; further, that when he moved there four years ago he did not do

so with the idea in mind of being surrounded by rental units, which he felt

the proposed duplex would be, and on behalf of his neighbours, he requested
