meeting.

Although the 4,400-sq. ft.
home would be increased by only
492 sq. ft., Coun. Rod Day ex-
pressed some concerns that the
addition might add to the bulk of
the building and have an impact
on neighboring views.

Day asked that the development
permit application for the addition
be referred to the district’s advi-
sory design panel before the mat-
ter comes before council Oct. 5.

Later, former West Vancouver
councillor Carol Ann Reynoids
asked why council would even be
“considering” the application, in
view of the fact that the house,
built in 1980, now exceeds the al.
lowable floor area ratio.

She also asked about staff
planning assistant Joel Lawson’s
recommendation against posting a
sign concerning the proposed de-
velopment permit.

Lawson said that notification to
residents within 50 metres of the
site would be considered suffi-
cient.
