Current WV creek bylaws need updating

From page 9

But West Vancouver's director
of operations Barry Lambert said
Sexsmith was ‘‘getting into a legal
technicality on the interpretation
of the bylaw.”

Lambert said that both he and
council had approved a develop-
ment variance permit on the pro-
ject based on a subdivision plan
that he felt took the protection of
the creek area into account.

“We are now reviewing that.’*
said Lambert.

He added that talks between the
developer, the municipality and
the neighbors are proceeding
‘amicably,’ and Lambert said he
is fairly confident that an agree-
ment can be worked out.

Mayor Mark Sager has stated
that the current creeks bylaw is
difficult to interpret and needs
improvement.

‘It's very complicated and may
require some changes for the
future,”’ agreed Lambert.

When Lambert acts as Subdivi-
sion Approving Officer (AO). a
position that he must fill indepen-
dent of council, he approves or
disapproves of subdivisions ac-
cording (to whether they meet the
applicable bylaws.

In that position, Lambert may
refuse to approve a subdivision
plan if he determines th-t it will
“injuriously affect the established
amenities of adjoining properties’
or does not conform to municipal

bylaws.

Sexsmith argues that the ap-
proving officer should have due
regard for the creeks bylaw while
acting on the subdivision bylaw.

In this case, the need for a de-
velopment variance put the matter
over to the consideration of coun-
cil, which initially accepted
Lambert’s original recommenda-
tions.

The matter is expected to return
to council some time this spring.
