Lane-paving

AT LEAST one Fulton
Avenue resident wishes he
hadn’t been so quick to put
his signature on a petition
for lane-paving.

By Maureen Curtis
Contributing Writer

Thomas Lindsay took his pro-
tests Monday night to West Van-
couver District Council over what
he said were the inequities inher-
ent in a system that will place
more of the burden of the lane-
paving costs on the shoulders of a
single-family home resident than
on a resident of an apartment
building on the other side of the
lane.

“Does that seem fair to you
that a little person like myself be
penalized to look after these
apartments?’* he asked.

The lane is located in the 1400
block between Esquimalt Avenue
and Fulton Avenue.

Lindsay said that he had sigtied
the petition, but discovered later
that the municipality’s rules meant
that the. entire apartment would
pay only about $1,600 — just
doubie what he would be charged
as a single-family resident.

If the system were based on
assessed land value, Lindsay
would pay about $482 while the
big apartment on the lane would
pay about $9,000.

But under the current Local
Improvement General Charge
Bylaw, homcowners pay according
to the number of feet fronting on
the Jane, up to a maximum of 30
metres, with any excess bcing
covered by the municipality.

The bylaw caps the amount
chargeable to the apartment as a
whole. .

Lindsay said it is also unfair to
hold him to his signature on the
petition, because ‘‘the petition was
only in my possession for a very
few minutes giving me litle or no
opportunity to compare the divi-
sion of costs.””

Ald. Ron Wood pointed out
that the petition was 79% in favor
of the paving, which would only

Lindsay’s signature.

Municipal staff looked at other
alternatives to the prescribed
method of payment, including
removing the 30-metre maximum
and going by assessed land value.

The petitioner, Shamsh Verjee,
urged council to approve the
lane-paving because the lane is
heavily used and creates dust
problems in summer and is subject
to roughening and pot-holes in the
winter.

While council ugreed that they
would approve the lanc-paving,
Ald. Donald Griffiths noted that
the lane-paving system should be
re-examined.

Mayor Mark Sager said he ap-
preciated that the apariment
dwellers in the area are getting a
good deal.

“This is the first time this has
happened, a lane-paving with an
apartment on one side and resi-
dents on the other side. We don't
have a fall back on this system,”
said Sager.

He advised Lindsay to take his
complaint to the Court of Revi-
sion.
