Report: Development Services – Planning dated October 28, 2011
File: 3060-25-33
Mr. Gary Holtz, spoke in favour of the application on behalf of School District 43 and introduced the project consultants to review the application and respond to questions.
Michael Wartman, B+H BuntingCoady Architects, advised that the civil, landscape and arborist consultants are present to answer any questions. He reviewed the display boards which illustrate the proposal and noted that while the school is planned to be in the Village of Anmore, there are elements that require Port Moody’s approval because of proximity.
Norm Hol, Arbotech Consulting, Arborist on the project, advised that he assessed the edge of Bert Flinn Park and the stands of trees in this area. Because the trees have been growing very close together they do not have the stability to withstand winds after construction. He outlined the requirements to remove some weaker trees with trimming of more dominant trees to resist wind stress. He confirmed that trees removed will be replaced in accordance with the Port Moody bylaw which requires 2 to 1 replacement.
It was suggested that Port Moody staff discuss with the School District the issue of revenue opportunity related to the trees to be removed from Port Moody property.
David Spence, 2722 Henry Street, Port Moody, inquired whether the trees would be suitable for carving to be used as part of the Centennial Celebrations in 2013.
Staff was requested to look into this option.
