Dear Council Members:

SUBJECT: Rezoning of properties in Citadel Heights - Citadel
Place ~- from single family dwellings to multi family
townhouse.

I would like to express my concern for the proposed rezoning

of the properties mentioned above.

One major problem with this proposal is that the mere mention

of "Townhouse" depreciates the value of properties in the surrond-
ing neighbourhoods, my concern is that there are very few areas

in Port Coquitlam that. are townhouse or condominium free. The
proposed rezoning typifies this. The future plans for Maryhill,
Citadel Heights, Citadel Place are for 50% townhouse, 50% resident-
ial. ,

We are concerned with "QUALITY CONTROL" but what about QUANTITY
CONTROL? ;

There are places that townhouses and condominiums should be
situated. Those places in my opinion are near major bus routes,
shopping malls, major traffic centres and policed areas.

It also concerns me that very few people are aware of the rezoning
applications at this time. The more people are aware of this
the more concern will be indicated.

I am proud to be a resident of Port Coquitlam that can offer
an area of homes as tasteful and as high in quality as some
residential areas in the lower mainland. .

It would be a great disadvantage to all concerned to scar the
subdivisions with townhouse - condominium development in random
spot locations.

Port Coquitlam has the opportunity to have an area of high quality
homes with beautiful views of the Fraser Valley.

These are some of my concerns please consider them.
