Conservation bid to

buy green space fails

Monday night to help a

conservation group buy out’

the developer of the pro-
posed six-acre Tower Hill
subdivision in the
municipality’s Altamont
area.

“Our present budget require-
ments are such that we are unable
to honor this request, much as
every one of us would like to see
that piece of land preserved in its
ratural state,’ said Ald. Andy
Danyliu.

At the previous council meeting,
Rosebery Avenue resident Patricia

’ Lepp brought forward a request
from NOW (Neighbors of
Wildlife) asking council to come
up with the $75,000 deposit need-
ed to secure the eventual purchase
of the 2907 Rosebery Ave. prop-
erty.

Located in the Altamont area,
Tower Hill is a rural enclave with
a single house that has been own-

ed by only two families since West
Vancouver was incorporated.

A developer has ~~ worked
for several years to secure a sub-
division of the land into several
lots amid controversy over the
placement of the  subdivision’s
houses in relation to the adjacent
creek ravine.

Lepp was also concerned about
the great variety of wildlife she
and others have noticed frequen-
ting the area.

She said the $75,000 deposit to
stop the work under way on the
site would give someone like the
Turtle Island Earth Stewards the
opportunity to raise the $5 million
needed to buy the land for preser-
vation,

But council expressed some
skepticism as to how the money
would be raised.

“tt is hard not to take advan-
tage of this. It is a beautiful piece
of property. But chese are tough
times. We can't responsibly gam-
ble with $75,000 of taxpayers’
meney,"” said Ald. Diana Hut-
chinson.
