developer, Council and the community. With regard to the compact housing development, Mr. Arychuk

control the uses and hours of the commercial section of the property. As well, three acres of the site would be
dedicated for park purposes.
Alderman Schrenk left the meeting at 7:42 p.m.
Mr. Arychuk indicated that he concurred with the resident's concerns over the designation to Commercial in the
OCP of those properties on the west side of 160 Street. Mr. Arychuk noted that the engineering drawings had
not advanced to the stage where detention ponds could be identified as yet. As well, Mr. Arychuk indicated
that there was no justification for making Lots 70, 75 & 76 as park.
In response to a question from Council, Mr. Arychuk indicated that the minimum allowed size was 5,000
square feet.

part of the original Green Timbers forest plantation. Mr. Schuetze then submitted a petition signed by 180
