WV twin towers supported

Dear Editor:

This letter is to encourage your
support for approval of the Nov.
19 referendum on the West Van-
couver Municipal Land at 320

. Taylor Way.

The undersigned are former
aldermen in West Vancouver who
have participated in increasing the
value to the municipality of the
former Municipal Works Yard
land near the southwest corner of
Taylor Way and Marine Drive. In
1981, the car dealership land at the
corner was purchased by the
municipality to complete municipal
ownership of the valuable 3.5 acre
site.

The municipal objective, since
1981, has always been to produce a
significant financial return to the
municipality (outside of property
taxes) through the long-term lease
of this land. This concept was
strongly supported by the com-
munity through extensive public

meetings, public hearings, council
meetings, media coverage, and
direct mailings to householders.
The concept of no development on
the site was fully discussed and re-
jected.

The final recommendation of a
citizen’s committee as endorsed by
the municipal council at the time,
was to provide significant public
access to the Capilano River,
create a parklike entrance to West
Vancouver, and permit two tower
structures of distinctive design that
approximate the size of the
neighboring Kapilano 100
building.

The Nov. 19 referendum has
been created to respond to a sector
of our community who now feel
that no development, or limited
development, should occur on
these municipal lands.

To vote against this referendum
would remove approximately $10
million of extra revenue to our

community. In addition, a signifi-
cant payment of funds from the
municipality may be required to
cancel the lease established by our
council, based on the previous
support by our community.

The loss of $10 million of reve-
nue plus a potentially large
cancellation payment seems an ex-
cessive cost for a public park, or
limited development at a busy in-
tersection in the high density retail
commercial area of Park Royal.

To lose this amount of money
that could be used to enhance our
community with waterfront park
access, cultura! facilities, etc. con-
cerns us deeply. Please discuss the
contents of this letter with your
friends and neighbors — and
please vote yes to the 320 Taylor
Way Municipal Land Referendum.
