Commercial, residential complex

proposed for Edgemont Village

LONG AWAITED details of a
proposed development on the
former Stong’s site in Edgemont
Village were revealed in a planning
report to North Vancouver District
Council Monday night.

Cairo Developments Ltd. in
conjunction with Ron Allen Ar-
chitects have applied for a siting

coverage ‘ludicrous.’

area amendment at 3151 Wood-
bine Drive to allow construction of
a three-storey building consisting
of at-grade commercial floor space
and 16 apartment units on two
levels, with one level of under-
ground parking.

The site’s present zoning and
siting area allows a maximum
building height of 40 feet and a
maximum site coverage of 50 per
cent,

However, design consultetinus
between the architects,
planning staff and the Advisory
Design Panel have resulted in an
application for a site coverage of
85 per cent with a building height
of 32 feet.

The report outlines pians for a
stucco and glass building with
10,400 square feet of commercial
space fronting Highland Boulevard
and Woodbine Drive. The residen-
tial suites are ail two-bedroom
units ranging in size from 1207
square feet to 1414 square fect.

While planning staff favor the
proposal, the Advisory Planning
Commission recommended at its
April 19 meeting that council reject
the proposal ‘‘based upon density
and parking.”’

Aid. Joan Gadsby was net in
favor of the application. ‘‘I think
we are going to see considerable
neighborhood concern about this
development,’’ she said. ‘‘The in-
crease of site coverage to 85 per
cent is ludicrous in my view. The
village is very, very quaint and this
is really overbuilding."’

Ald. ig Clark wanted to hear
what the public had to say. ‘‘Be-
fore we go jumping the gun and
throwing cold water on it, it may
well be that the residents of Edge-
mont and Highland will support
this,’” he said.

“I don’t think 16 (two)-bedroom
units are going to do a disservice
to the people who live around that
area. It might be too much build-
ia; ‘or the site, it might not, but
‘4 see what the community has
0 say,”” Clark conchided.

There will be a public informa-
tion meeting held by Cairo Devel-
opments Ltd. in Capiiano Library
on Tuesday, May 23.
