Phillips of rd Avenue read a lengthy submission concerning a drainage problem affecting the Livingstone Ditch in front of his property. This ditch was created in 1932 and assists the Erickson Ditch, which was constructed in 1924, in taking the drainage water from the Port KePls area and the lower lands to the River. Mr. Phillips stated that as development takes pla.ce and more homes are built more water is diverted to the drainage system causing an erosion problem. Five feet of the Livingstone Ditch banks have been washed away eliminating the approach to the bridge giving access to his property. He mentioned that the Engineering Department has carried out an investigation and has estimated that it w i l l cost $3, to rebuild the bridge and between $ and $ to repair the banks. Mr. Phillips stated that in 1965 a plug was placed in the Erickson Ditch diverting water into the Livingstone Ditch and no improvements were made to the Livingstone Ditch to accommodate the added water. He stated that the water is now low and as he requires access to his property he requested that Council approve of road and bank repairs. He asked for the digging of a new diversion ditch, removal of the plug from the Erickson ditch and cleaning of the Livingstone Ditch. He read a news item from the "Surrey Leader" regarding the passage of legislation by the Provincial Government, which makes it practical for the Surrey Municipality to take over the dyking districts, and he suggested that this area should be considered for improvements under the new legislation.

4 2. Mr. G. Hanssen and Mr. P. Messina of the North Shore Excavating Ltd. were to have been present regarding the contract for the North Slope Sewer, but they did not appear. 3. Miss Dorothy Martin of th Street asked for the widening and reconstruction of 164th Street from 32nd Avenue north to 36th Avenue. She stated that the first part of the road is constructed to a width of thirty-three feet and snow drifts last winter had created a bottle neck in this section. During the past one and a half years further development had taken place to the north and a dust problem has developed. Miss Martin stated that a petition had been supplied in January, 1970 for improvements to this road but no definite indication received as to when the work might be undertaken. She specifically asked for road widening, gravelling and ditching since no ditching had been carried out on this section since The Mayor stated that he did not think this work was provided for in the 1971 Budget, but that she would be advised of Council's decision on her request. 4. Mrs. Zaprawa gave a brief outline of the history on local improvement project No involving the paving of Bedford Drive. A large Delegation from this area was also in attendance at the meeting. Mrs. Zaprawa explained that a preliminary petition had been supplied in 1969 and a formal petition in February, The property owners feel that some priority should be given to this project since there are thirty-seven houses on these streets, involving 100 cars. She complained of the dust and pot holes and of the fact that there has been no road sign giving direction to Bedford Drive since the subdivision was opened in She also asked that a "No Exit" sign be erected.

5 5. Mr. Gallimore of A Street was present to request Council to consider his claim for damages due to flooding, which had not been allowed by the Municipal Insurance Adjuster. He stated that on October 16th a water main accidently broke causing flooding, which washed the layer of peat and soil from his garden and flooded his basement. He supplied copies of letters which he had written regarding the damage caused by the dampness, which affected the floor and walls of the basement. Mr. Gallimore expressed the opinion that the twelve inch tile installed by the Municipal crews should be extended through an easement to take the water from his property.

K Mr. Erickson was not present, although he had arranged to appear in connection with a Section 712 application, No , not approved by Council at the previous meeting. 8. Mr. I. Rusticus was present to protest the closure of the septic tank disposal outfall. Moved by Alderman Dunster That this Delegation be heard. Mr. Rusticus stated that he felt that Council had made a hasty decision, which will increase his costs from $13.00 per load to between $35.00 and $40.00 per load. He indicated that 765 animals per month are processed through his slaughter house, involving 40,000 gallons of effluent per month. When his operation was approved three years ago he received permission to utilize a

6 30,000 gallon holding tank and with the increased cost finds it difficult to compete with other operations outside the Municipality. Mr. Rusticus operates the only slaughter house in the Municipality. U 9. Mr. Struzewski was present to object to the utilization of property at th Street as a mushroom manure curing centre. Mr. Struzewski stated that the residents on 190th Street want clarification concerning the uses permitted in an A-3 zone. They feel this doesn't involve farm produce since chemicals, horse manure from the P.N.E. grounds, peat moss and other additives are brought to the site and the cured product is redistributed. 1,000 tons of mushroom manure is hauled in and out every day to create a volume of 2,000 tons. In addition to this type of use he complained of the road condition, which results from the heavy usage. The road has very little base and is muddy in winter and dusty during the summer.
