Lynn Valley
development
hit at meeting

By Deana Lancaster

A developer’s public
information mecting on
Monday night in Lynn
Valley became the first
battleground for a six-
week-old residents’
Jobby group.

Concerned Citizens of
Lynn Valley (CCLV) formed
as a result of the district’s
revised Official Community
Plan (OCP) for the area,

The community planning,
team has allowed for faster
growth. Models displayed in
Lynn Valley Mall showed
2,700 new multi-family hous-
ing units to house the predict-
ed growth. Some residents
were not impressed.

About three weeks ago,
residents near 27th and
Mountain Highway got word
that MacLean Management, a
West Vancouver company, had
plans to develop the scuth-
east corner of the intersection.

The company wants to
build 39 townhouse units in
low-rise clusters of seven. To
do it, the property must be
rezoned from single-family to
low-rise residential.

“We thought the high-
density would stay west of
Mountain Highway,” said
CCLVY member Caroline
Jackson. “Once it starts
encroaching on the single-
family area, it’s like a creeping
cancer.”

Jackson estimates that
more than a hundred local
residents showed up at the
ublic information meeting
osted by MacLean
Management last Monday
night.

“We've been here for 24
years,” Jackson said. She lives
on Crestlynn Place, near 27th
Street. “Most of the neigh-
bors have been here just ‘as
long, it’s a very stable neigh-
borhood. We'd like to retain
that family atmosphere.”
