Background and Comments:

The attached letter from the Beedie Group refers to a strip
of land betwean the boundary of the Meridian Industria! Park
Subdivision and the actual toe of the City's dyke. The letter
requests the right to use this strip of land In return for the
strip being filled to the same level as the rest of the

Industrial properties.

Tals strip of land currently contains a ditch draining the
industrial property but this ditch wil! not be required once

the property Is developed since storm sewers would be Installed
as a condition of development. Fill in this strip would
enhance the City's property as It would reduce the fength of
slope on the dyke which has to be maintalned and would provide

support behInd the dyke.
