March Ist, 1976

instance the reason for the application was to enable two brothers~in-

law to obtain mortgages and meet eligibility requirements for the Provincial
Home-owners Grants. Alderman Thompson noted that the present construction
of the 200 + units in the G.V.R.D. development at Coast Meridian and

Prairie will surpass the percentage requirements for rental accommodation
and the project is well underway.

From the Land Use Committee, February 27th, 1976 regarding an Land Use Comm.re ;
frontage exemp. |

application for subdivision of the property between Coast Meridian Road, subd. C.Meridian/:
Lynwood/Victoria |

Lynwood Avenue and Victoria Drive which meets all requirements of the
Subdivision of Land By-law except for frontage and recommending that the
Council grant a frontage exemption for this proposed subdivision as
permitted under Section 712(2) of the Municipal Act.

Moved by Alderman Laking:

Seconded by Alderman Traboulay:

That the recommendation of the Land Use Committee, February 27th,
1976 with respect to an application for subdivision (as shown on City
Drawing No. 209-93) of the property between Coast Meridian Road, Lynwood
Avenue and Victoria Drive to grant a frontage exemption for this proposed

subdivision as permitted under Section 712(2) of the Municipal Act, be

approved.

Carried.

Prior to passage of the foregoing resolution, Alderman Thompson
referred to a previous proposal for this property in which more lots
were available and houses would have been available at a lower cost and
directed a question to Mr. Art Ricard, the Developer who was present in
the gallery, as to how much of an increase in price would be due to the
larger house and lot as proposed in this application. Mr. Ricard advised
that there would be an increase of some $3,000. to $4,000. per unit.
Alderman Laking indicated that although the present Proposal would take
the units out of A.H.O.P. range, and the 50 foot subdivision proposal
would have been an excellent idea, he was oware that the delay to Mr.
Ricard to either wait for the new Zoning By-law to be prepared or to
proceed with the development under a Land Use Contract would be unreasonable.

Alderman Mabbett suggested that there may have been some question as to

‘whether or not the original proposal would have conformed to A.H.O.P.

standards and, additionally, there hae been some controversy in the

Council in going to a full block of small lots.
