West Van wall

WEST VANCOUVER District
Council voted on Jan. 8 against
further modificatiu~s to a wall
encroachment ut 2848 Bellevue
Ave.

WEST VANCOUVER
DISTRICT COUNCIL

By Maureen Curtis

For months, Coun. Pat Boname
has been fighting to have something
done about the wall, which blocks the
view of a creek, encroaches on the
road allowance and, she felt, gave the
adjacent owner “visual control” over

" public land.

- She -argued that the rock wall,

‘should be further reduced in height.

“T think that is the best course...it
will bring this land back under our
control.” said Boname.

The motion, as proposed, also
stipulated that a pipe railing be placed
on top of the rock to maintain the
security of the area. Coun, Rod Day
was against the idea, arguing that pipe
railings are uglier than rock walls.

Graham McMillan. who owns the
adjacent property and had the wall
built, noted that the municipality has
already spent about $7,000 to lower
the wall. Further lowering it would
cost another $4,700, he said.

West Vancouver resident Derrick
Hawkins, who is a local “expert” on
encroachments, recommended no
further changes, although he is
“appalled” by the fact that McMillan
was able to build the wall in the first
place.
