Ratepayers’ concerns varied From page 3 munity plan and we're looking forward to that. We oppose any rezoning in the area until that is done. Two years ago we were promised that there would be no rezoning."’ But Switlo says the promise was broken with the recent rezon- ing of the Barker property from RS-} to RS-2. ‘*We also have to do something with view protection and monster homes. Our seniors have lived in the area for so many years and they should be protected (from monster homes). We also lack park space proportionate to the rest of the district.” The group is advocating that the district dedicate 12 acres at the top of St. Albans Road as park land. “We are also looking for com- mitment on the part of the district to hire an environmental officer responsible for reviewing all de- velopment in the district with regard to environmental impact.’’ The Lonsdale Citizen’s Association — a new North Van- couver City group with about 25 members thus far. Chairman Jim Ramsay, ‘‘l think the major thing we’re con- cerned about is developing a diverse community. Within that our primary emphasis is on af- fordable housing; those are the hot issues for our group.” eCapilano Ratepayers’ Association — approximately 100 members. President) John Grossholz: “We'd like to maintain the quality of fife. That is a very common thing for most of the ratepayers” groups. We'd like to maintain the greenery, “We don’t like the encroach- ment of multi-family dwellings in- to the single family areas. The single-family owners have bought that for a purpose. | think one of the other things is that I feel the people that have additional suites in their homes should be taxed accordingly.” eMontroyal Association — members. President Norman Smith: “I guess these are more my personal things, but I would say that being able to balance the expansion of the municipal budget and not ex- panding the taxes is one. We're looking at fairly tough economic times for the next year or so and you don’t want to dispose of social services and recreational services, but you don’t want to burden the people with more taxes either. “On a narrower issue is this ongoing concept of a cross-town connector at a higher elevation — inter-river and cutting through Lonsdale and Montroyal. What they end up doing is putting out- side traffic through existing neighborhoods.”’ *Woodtands Sunshine Ratepayers’ Association— repre- sents about 300 residents. President Jan Macdonald: “We're still trying to get a district watermain out there. We’ve been after that a number of years and we're getting closer all the time. We've raised $750,000 from the province and $450,000 from the district, but we’ve got a way to go yet. That’s the number-one issue for us.”” Residents of the Indian Arm community currently take water from local creeks.
