respond to questions from Council if requested.<br />
Gallery:<br />
Elaine Rimmer, 1080 LaSalle Avenue, was in attendance and came to Centre Table.<br />
Ms. Rimmer advised that the owners <strong>of</strong> the residences close to Steamers Pub maintain<br />
their homes. She spoke <strong>of</strong> the lower Victoria Street area and how it was a nicer area<br />
when the property owners lived in the neighbourhood, but when it became<br />
predominantly renters, crime in the area increased dramatically. She said this section<br />
<strong>of</strong> Queensway is not far away from that Victoria Street neighbourhood, and she is<br />
concerned that something similar could happen here. Ms. Rimmer advised that she<br />
had been contacted by Denise Volpert who lives across from the Alpine Pub, and that<br />
Ms. Volpert noted concerns she has with the patio at that pub. Ms. Rimmer said that<br />
she would like to enjoy sitting on her patio.<br />
Ms. Rudolph returned to Centre Table and advised that the RCMP <strong>of</strong>ten park across<br />
the street to watch for drinking drivers. She expressed her belief that the noise <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Council considered the following documentation in conjunction with <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Prince</strong><br />
<strong>George</strong> Zoning Bylaw No. 7850, 2007, Amendment Bylaw No. 8333, 2011:<br />
1. Report dated May 18, 2011, from Deanna Wasnik, Planner, recommending<br />
approval <strong>of</strong> the application.<br />
The Director <strong>of</strong> Current Planning and Development provided an overview <strong>of</strong> the<br />
application.<br />
Applicant:<br />
Robert Alspaugh, spouse <strong>of</strong> the applicant, came to Centre Table and responded to<br />
questions from Council.<br />
Gallery:<br />
Helen Clare, 2141 Laurier Crescent, was in attendance and came to Centre Table.<br />
Ms. Clare advised that she was in attendance to speak against the application. She<br />
said that currently the property is zoned to allow 1 single family dwelling, but this<br />
rezoning if approved will allow construction <strong>of</strong> 2 single family dwellings. She<br />
expressed concern with the crowded lots that could result in a decrease <strong>of</strong> trees, which<br />
we know are beneficial to air quality. Ms. Clare said that this development will bring<br />
an adverse effect on parking and snow removal for the lots, noting that already there<br />
are issues with snow removal when vehicles are parked on the street. Ms. Clare<br />
expressed her belief that this proposal is not in character with the neighbourhood and<br />
she urged Council to deny the application.<br />
Valerie Reeves, 2175 Laurier Crescent, was in attendance and came to Centre Table.<br />
Ms. Reeves advised that the neighbourhood consists <strong>of</strong> older homes constructed over<br />
2 or 3 lots. She expressed her concerns that overcrowding could be seen more with<br />
on-street parking as it has increased since 2007, and alley access can at times be<br />
impassable during the winter. She said that one <strong>of</strong> her neighbours has a very large<br />
house on a small lot and they blow their snow into her yard, and she expects this may<br />
be an issue with these homes as well. Ms. Reeves noted that the existing fence

between her property and the subject property is not on the property line so the owner<br />
may be <strong>of</strong> the view that his property is larger than it really is.<br />
The Acting Director <strong>of</strong> Planning and Development responded to questions from<br />
Council.<br />
There were no further submissions from the gallery.<br />

E2. Ranjit Gill & Sherry Powney, regarding Portraits <strong>of</strong> Honour Mural Project &<br />
Darren Fitzpatrick Bravery Park Project<br />
Ranjit Gill and Sherry Powney were in attendance and came to Centre Table.<br />
Ms. Gill advised that they were part <strong>of</strong> a small support group in attendance to<br />
represent <strong>Prince</strong> <strong>George</strong> military families and injured troops. They explained that<br />
the “Portraits <strong>of</strong> Honour” tour is coming through <strong>Prince</strong> <strong>George</strong> on July 13, 2011,<br />
and requested that Council <strong>of</strong>fer its support by renaming a park in the Hart<br />
Highway area, preferably Glenview Park, as the Darren Fitzpatrick Bravery Park in<br />
conjunction with the tour. The presenters advised that this park would be only the<br />
second bravery park in the country, and dedicating the park in Darren Fitzpatrick’s<br />
name at the same time as the tour goes through our community, would bring more<br />
awareness to the event and what they are attempting to accomplish. They<br />
explained that the “Portraits <strong>of</strong> Honour” tour is to honour all those who have passed<br />
away in service, and for what the troops go through every day.<br />
