page 8, May 18, 1977 - North Shore News Around the Councils North Vancouver District council gave the green light Monday for a _ renewed application by Grouse Mountain Resorts Ltd. to build a scaled-down housing development on the 128-acre -Nancy Green Triangle. Late last year, after public hearings and months of deliberation. council turned down the company’s original proposal for —: $56-unit project on the grcunds of excessive density. The company’s new plan calls for a development of 424 dwelling units, together with two parks, roads, sewers and other services for an estimated expenditure of $3.5 million. Maycr Don Bell said Grouse Mountain’ Resorts had shewn a willingness to compromise, and _ council decided to order staff to draft the necessary zoning bylaw to accommodate the new proposal. Drafting of the bylaw is a technical step which allows 33 fi. in height is apparently permitted in residential areas of Tokyo. (Better check that one out, Ridgeway Ratepayers!) CAUGHT IN MIDDLE In this deveioper-versus- the-public war, of course. councils are caught in the middle between the lure of money and the need for votes. Development projects rarely. if ever, add to the quality of life of the existing neighborhood -- normally the reverse. In the short term, however, they promise in- creased tax revenue per acre or half-acre of land, a prospect that hard-pressed councils resist. find difficult to and thirty minutes, the world.

Van. ah cee fae ema ifs formal debate on the devel- opment to resume. Once the draft is ready, council under- took to hold a public hearing on the proposal later in the _ Spring. In other business council postponed for one week a debate on guidelines for Indian Arm development. The debate was suggested by Ald. Peter Powell. The issue arose after council received a request by area residents for the extension of power lines up the inlet beyond their current term- inus. The land is presently used for summer cottages. Mayor Don Bell and some > other members of council want a decision delayed until a comprehensive develop- ment policy for the area can be drafted. Property-owners there would like to see Hydro power extended to the area, but Mayor Bell described it as ‘‘the thin end of the wedge.’’ If the service were to go in, residential devel- opment would soon follow. < 3 But in the !ong term those fast bucks can well prove to be an illusion, once you add up all the extra costs -- traffic arteries. transit, sewage and garbage disposal, schools, fire and police protection, hospital facilities and recrea- tion services -- that are going to accumulate over a period of time once you crowd 1,000 peopie into the space former- occupied by 100. “Tickets: Famous Artists at the Downtown Bay: Concert Box Offices at the Coggery.

Council also considered requiring the installation of smoke detectors in residen- tial buildings. Alderman Gordon Rose said that such devices should be placed in multi-family dwellings, but the general feeling of council was that they could not legislate such action successfully. Council received and filed a letter from the Vancouver Association of Insurance Women and took no further action. Neither West Vancouver nor North Vancouver City council met Monday. Their next meetings are scheduled for Tuesday, May 24, foliow- ing the Victoria Day holiday. That's the commonsense instinct of a growing number of North Shore residents who value the lifestyle that drew them here in the first place. More and more they're banding together to fight city. hall on the issue of develop- ment merely for the sake of development. And _ they’re showing that they have the muscle to win.
