Properties residents slam small lots

THERE MAY be a demand
in West Vancouver : for
smaller houses and lots, ‘but
British Properties residents
don't feel their ‘area is the
place forthem. | a

“We did not move to this’ arca
to get affordable housing.”’: area
resident: Khosrow Kaye said’ at a
recent public hearing in response
to a 27 lot subdivision proposed
for the end of Tyrol Place.

Other Properties residents .were
adamant in judging the subdivi-
sion, with lot frontages as small as

- $0 fect, out of character with their
neighborhood. '

“They should put two! lots
together to make one lot. to con-
form with the rest of the area,’’
suggested Thomas Rose of ‘ame-
lot Road.

But architect) Armour Blewett
-“ pointed out that the area.is, feady

Boned for ja. 27 lot subdivision”
(since the 1930s), and that he

would not be needing permission &

from West Vancouver Council to
go ahead were it not for the fact
that he was proposing a different
lot configuration which he felt was
‘more environmentally sound. |

“It is a superior layout in that it

“allows for more uniform house
size, a better street layout, and
provides the opportunity for a
more livable neighborhood," _ said
Blewett. -

The fots have an average size of.
12,000° Sa: f.,. with ‘an ‘average:
house size of 2,300 sq. ft. The big-
ger lots and homes would be plac-
ed ‘on the outside of the ‘subdivi-
_ sion to. provide a. transition from:

the - existing . neighborhood. They i

WII be focated just above the Up-
"per Levels Highway. ape
“People should look: i at: “the.
' facts, not their fears... This i is not
. low cost housing. Vis designed to
” appeal to ‘empty nesters," perhaps
from the? British Properties _
> -Beople who want a smaller, house _
_without: a drop in quality, exe
_ plained Blewett. Le
Blewett’ said that four such |

, ‘smaller houses were built in. the

area in 1986, and proved there is a

voned stare! knowing that the lots
would be inconsistent with the rest
of the neighborhood,

Council called for a staff report
on the proposal and adjourned the
hearing until May tA, -
