The creek, which is subject to flash flooding, is protected by a restrictive covenant which includes 60 feet on either side. The land may be privately cwn- ed, but any disturbance to the nat- ural ground cover is forbidden without permission from West Vancouver District. But that didn’t stop the devel- oper, E.D.W. Enterprises Inc. of North Vancouver, from cutting the ground cover several months ago, October is for recycling OCTOBER IS ‘Recycle Month’ throughout the Lower Mainland.

In his letter to West Vancouver District Council, Stone Street resi- dent Roger Smith said he discussed these actions with the developer, E.D. Werner, who said he was aware of the restrictive cove- nant, but cut the trees anyway to “let light into the future backyards of his properties.” “Irreparable damage has been done to the natural ground cover, which survives and thrives because of the protection afforded by the trees of the natural forest,’’ wrote Srnith, who is a professional bota- nist working in the forest products industry. He is insisting that the developer be forced to restitute the site to its natural condition, including replacement of the 30 ft. trees. According to municipal clerk Doug Allan, the municipality will be requiring the developer to prepare a landscape plan for the area of restrictive covenant which will include reforestation. Smith would also like the devel- oper to take responsibility for infr- inging on Smith’s privacy by ex- posing his house to the two new houses, and exposing him to in- creased levels of noise pollution from the nearby B.C. Railway. OM Cheshire Cheese.
