hearing be ignored. ~ .

But one alderman was ‘still
not: happy _with the
proceedings. ;

Alderman. John Hum-
phries expressed disap-
pointment that more ‘time
had not been spent on the
applications for “these very
important sites.”

Humphries said he felt
more discussion “should be
taking place than is” and was
sorry that for“these votes it
was not a full council.

Aldermen David Finlay
and Diana Hutchinson were
absent. .

But Humphries approved
both development permits,
along with Aldermen Bob
Hicks, George Morfitt and
Don Lanskail.

Quay
package
approved

With more than a touch of
relief, North Vancouver City
council officially approved
the bulky, complicated
Lonsdale Quay Develop-
ment Agreement package at
its meeting Monday night.

The agreement, four years
in the making, is between
the City and the Lonsdale
Quay Development Cor-
poration, and provides the
legal basis for the con-
struction of the massive

Lonsdale Quay development .

at the foot
Avenue. ;

“Quite a few people will
sleep well tonight” now that
the package has been ap-
proved, said Mayor Jack
Loucks.

Alderman Frank Marcino
paid tribute to City staff and
the Lonsdale Quay people as
well, for their work on the
package. “They should get a
hearty round of applause
from council,” he said.

Lonsdale Quay will in-
clude a_ waterfront park,
several provincial govern-
ment buildings and = shops
and apartments when finally
completed in about four
years. The first stage, the
Pacific Marine Training
Institute, is scheduled to be
opened this fall

“My > Said Marcino hanr,
and that of the mayor is now
white. It was black when we
started work on this.”

JUDY WALKER

and best wishes
from all your
family & friends

Hutchinson, in a note to
council, strongly urged that
1972 Bellevue Avenue be
developed as a lowrise
configuration. Mayor
‘Derrick Humphreys also
went on record as opposing
the 17-storey apartment
building for the property.

Although Esteem _In-
vestments Ltd. had sub-
mitted. two alternative design
proposals — both of them
variations. of a five storey
low rise — they were
withdrawn two days after the
downzoning bylaw was
defeated.

Architect Frank Russell,
of Toby,. Russell, Buckwell,

told council that the lowrise . ws
building was only designed ©
when it was made clear that 2:
plan
and the an-
ticipated lowrise zoning was.

the community
“required it”

pending.

“However, now that the
downzoning bylaw has been
defeated, that reason is no

longer valid,” he said.
While the

the design, it goes against
the recommendations of the
planning department and the
municipality’s Eikos report.
Planning staff have
consistently recommended
that a lower density, lowrise
form of housing would be the
appropriate use for this site.
The permit also goes
against the wishes of West
Van residents who spoke at a
public meeting in February.
Of the 70 or so sub-
missions received, only the
development eompany
spoke in favor of a highrise.

received at a March public

opposed, citing high density,
traffic and parking

objecting. .
