An “insulting” application for a mega-structure on Agricultural Land Reserve at the far end of a quiet rural road in Pitt Meadows has galvanized the community into action, its mayor says.
Mayor John Becker told Metro he expects his council to follow others, like those in Delta and Richmond, looking at regulating house sizes on protected farmland after residents were shocked to learn of an application for a massive 31,000 square foot estate home on a 33-acre lot on Ford Road.
The property, a former berry farm, was purchased by Sinominco Investment Group in 2011 and has already had two large residential structures built on it recently.
