Organizer recognized RUTH STOUT of West Vancouver was recognized Monday night by West Vancouver District Council for her years as an organizer of the West Vancouver Santa Claus Fund. “Every year around Christmas time, there is a woman in West Vancouver who gives freely of her time to the community,”’ said Mayor Mark Sager at the start of Monday night’s West Vancouver District Council meeting. He then presented Stout with a ‘‘certificate of appre- ciation’’ for exceptional contribution to the community. “It is people such as Mrs. Stout who really make West Vancouver the wonderful place it is in which to live,” said Sager. RESIDENTS LIVING near the idled Indian River development belleve the project’s location is iil-concelved and has insufficient road access. Photo submitted Group wants project file From page 1 and requested that the project F completion date be extended to i the December 1992. At..a Jan. 27 in-camera meeting, council decided to grant a fourth extension, an additional 12 months from the date a build- ing permit is issued. District staff are considering revamped plans for the project. The developer has agreed to pay the district $31,845 as compensa- tion for lost taxes and has provid- ed the district with an irrevocable $250,000 letter of credit. ’ Council chose not to exercise an option to repurchase the property. . Mountain Province representat- ives were unavailable for comment to press time Thursday. The president of the company is Jing Yin Chee. Chee is listed with the district as the owner of a new- ly constructed $3.6-raillion water- front. home in the 800-block of Beachview Drive in Deep Cove. Meanwhile residents living near idled townhouse site a-e angry. They belicve the location of the project, at the lower end of a mountainside single-family resi- dential subdivision, is ifl-conceiv- ed and has insufficient road ac- cess. A neighborhood group is plan- ning to appear before council on Monday as a delegation. The group is asking for the file on project to be open to public review and is seeking input on proposed design changes. | open to public for review Said Ostler Court resident Mar- nie Hodgins, ‘Basically our ob- jection is that council for four years has never really considered or involved the neighborhood at all as far as this development. We went to council, the response basically was ‘you knew what you got into when you bought.’ “Right now we have a safety problem: the gates are open, all the earth around the bottom is all eroded, kids can slide under. There was a fire down there. Kids were building a fort and lighting candles, and they had a fire going dowre there. “You can accept the fact that it’s going in. But the fellow has had four years. Council hasn’t even considered us. It’s all been done in-camera.”’ East Seymour Community Association representative Greg Staple said council was wrong to consider the development ‘behind closed doors in ‘in-camera ses- sions,’ ’” Said Staple, ‘‘We have some fundamental probiems with how the issue is being handled in- camera. This developer has had ample opportunity to perform. They have been unable to per- form.” Added Staple, ‘‘It was just a bad decision for the district to go ahead with a high-density project in a pleasant single-family neighborhood. We’re not against high-density projects, just ones that don’t fit very well.” N. Van to set crime prevention offices $40,000 provincial grant to North Vancouver City and District will provide the two municipalities with community crime preven- tion offices and a com- munity policing van, city council learned Monday. City council approved the ex- penditure of $17,000 to buy the van and $23,000 for the salary and travel expenses for a program director to oversee operations of two community offices. According to a letter written by the twa North Vancouver mayors to the ministry responsible for the grant, one of the offices will be located in the city and will be aimed at helping the elderly; the other office will be in the district and will be directed toward youth, Although the money has already been received, council first heard of the grant Monday, much to the dismay of some members of council. But Mayor Jack Loucks said, “*We didn’t have anything to br- ing before council.”’ He explained that the decision to accept the grant had to be made within a matter of days, which left no opportunity to in- form council. But Ald. John Braithwaite said that, with no guarantee that con- tinuing funds will be available, council should have been inform- ed when Loucks became aware of the grant last September. “If we start a new program and the money is not available next year, we'll have to foot the bill, we can't cancel it,’’ said Braithwaite. But Loucks said, derstanding that it will be avaii- able next year."’ He added that he was also con- cerned about starting a new pro- gram with provincial money that might not be available again, but said that he and North Vancouver District Mayor Murray Dykeman had expressed that concern to the province.
