Richmond city councillors will address soil retaining for a property and proposing amendments to a bylaw related to political signs at Monday's 4 p.m. general purposes committee meeting.
A property owner is looking to keep 1,100 cubic metres of "unauthorized soil" from the property to help improve the agricultural capability of the land to potentially develope a blueberry farm at 8251 No. 5 Rd., according to a city staff report.
City staff is recommending the application that has been submitted by the property owner be referred to the Agriculture Land Commission.
Meanwhile, Mayor Malcolm Brodie has put forth a recommendation to endorse an amendment to the election and political sign bylaw.
The amendment, if approved, would include not allowing election signs on all city properties, written consent from private property owners for signs to be erected, and no signs attached to trees, planter or shrubs.

A public hearing is being held on Monday at 7 p.m. for the property at 11431 Williams Rd. to be allowed to subdivide into two single family detached lots from a compact single detached zone.
