THE DESIGN of the pro-
posed) Parkgate shopping
centre development on
Mount Seymour Parkway
continued to divide North
Vancouver District Council
Monday night.

NORTH VANCOUVER
DISTRICT COUNCIL

By Martin Millerchip

Contributing Reporter

The Bon Street Group requires
a development permit for its site
at Mount Seymour Parkway and
Mount Sevnour Road to allow
construction of a 90,000) square
foot shopping centre contained
within cight) buildings situated
around the perimeter of the site,

The cornerstone of the devel-
opment would be a 35.000 square
foot Safeway store.

Though the process to develop
the site began in January, some
council members and = area
residents have yet to be convinced
that a “sillage ambience’ will be
created in the development.

The fates: in a series of conces-
sions from the developers allows
for more landscaping, second-
storey setback from the parkway
and pavers to define a circulation
route for pedestrians.

But Eust Seymour Community
Association president Fred
O'Hagan continues to maintain
that substantial issues remain to
be fully considered by council.

In a letter to council last week,
O'Hagan charged that, ‘Our
proposals for rear access to Build-
ing G and the Safeway store, and
secondly, design modifications to
facilitate better integration of the
commercial and community ser-
vices aspects of the Parkgate de-
velopment have been rejected and
effectively swept under the rug.”*

O’Hagan’s letter also reaffirmed
the association's position that the

NV District Council divided
over Parkgate development

ALD. BILL Rodgers... not what
he envisioned for development.
gas bays of the service station
should be located to the north of
the building and away from the
residents of the Roche Point
complex.

O'Havan’s letter concluded, ‘In
our view you will have the full
support of residents of east
Seymour by holding out for a bet-
ter deal. While we have waited a
long time for a commercial centre
in our neighborhood, we are
prepared to wait longer if that is
what it takes to get a centre that is
acceptable.**

Some council
peared to. share
O'Hagan’s concerns.

Said Alderman Bill Rodgers,
“The gas bar is not in the right
location. A 4,000 sq. ft. conve-
nience store attached to @ gas sta-
tion is not what I envisioned for
this development.”

Alderman Craig Clark agreed
and suggested a shift of the build-
ings or the acquisition of more
land to allow for rear servicing of
the buildings.

But Alderman Rick Buchols
then accused some council
members of wanting to kill the
project.

Charged Buchols,

of

they weren't happy with the price,
they weren't happy with the con-
figuration, they weren't happy
with the juxtaposition of the
commercial, recreational and
apartments.”

Buchols commended the work
of the East Seymour Community
Association but said that he did
not believe that they represented
the whole of the community.

“*E would caution council that
that community is counting on a
shopping centre out there and I
would not be over anxious to kill
it,’ warned Buchols.

Mayor Marilyn Baker was
visibly angered at the notion of
major re-plotting of th:2 site.

Said Baker, *tAt this point to
go back to square one makes a
mockery of the whole process.”'

Baker also spoke against a rear
access road, which she said would
mean paving PRO (Parks, Recre-
ation and Open Space) land
dedicated as a creek boundary.

In a later interview O’Hagan
recalled a promise of Baker to
“play hardbali’’ with the devel-
opers at the permit stage.

“*She’s not playing hardball,’’
said O'Hagan. ‘'She’s playing
softball.’
