There was a review by the City Engineer of the HUD Grant request for sewer and water to East Hastings, extension of the Northwest Trunk Sewer to the West Corporate Limits and development of a Ponding Basin Area. The HUD Grant was disallowed in accordance with a letter received from Mr. Edward Bruder, Assistant Regional Administrator, Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment dated June 4, 1970. It was suggested that the Planning Commission give consideration of a study of this area in East Hastings as to how it would fit in to our new Zoning Ordinance and possibility of phasing out construction in the area of East Hastings which would be either side of 2nd Street from the CMStP&P Railroad tracks east.
