EFS recover arrested three men early Jan. 29 Waterfront future at issue From page 3 million per acre, many industries can’t afford to be on the North Shore. Although Pezzente suggested that general guidelines for water- front property use would be ap- propriate, Ald. Rod Clark said that council is the appropriate body to assign specific uses to waterfront sites. The vibrancy of the city relies on industrial, commercial and res- idential land uses, and respect must be shown for each, Clark added. Mann said that it was poor economics to leave vacant a valuable piece of land like the Fullerton fill site. Ald. Stella Jo Dean pointed out that, in 1983, urban planners studied the Fullerton site and sug- gested a mixed use as most ap- propriate, yet the council of the day labelled it a study area. Because the VPC seems to have’ adequate facilities, that area’s OCP designation should be recon- sidered, she added. Environmental policy White said the city’s Advisory Planning Commission has recommended that ‘‘the city should encourage bulk-loading fa- cilities ... to relocate out of the ci- ty.’” Environmental concerns, he said, seem to be of increased im- portance to VPC, which has in- troduced an environmental review, an audit process, a hot line and an environmental policy. “Serious concerns about the safety of the port from an en- vironmental perspective remain,” White said, ‘‘particularly in areas such as the movement of danger- ous goods. The city should devel- op long-term goals that encourage the removal of the most objec- tionable bulk shipping, particular- ly coal. “Environmentally safe com- modities like lumber, pulp and paper, general cargo or containers may be supportable.’’ The Fullerton Fill does not con- tain any hazardous areas from previous chemical use, Mann said, but his company wants to do an environmental study on the prop- erty “to confirm what is under there.”’ Public access to the waterfront White said that even though ‘access to the waterfront is the most important public recreational and cultural amenity, less than 10 per cent of the water’s edge is ac- cessible to the public along the roughly 15,000 feet of city water- front. “Staff suggest that public access to the waterfront be pursued as a priority of the city,’’ he said. “Public access at strategic loca- tions in industrial, as well as ur- ban, areas should be secured.’” When Mann was asked about his vision for the Fullerton property, he said property’s own- ership envisioned a mixed use, with heavy emphasis on residen- tial, entertainment, and hotel/ convention facilities. He said Fullerton would co- operate with the Squamish Indian Band, which owns the property directly toethe east, in planning the future land uses for the area. When Mayor Jack Loucks questioned Mann on the com- patibility of industrial and resi- dential land uses, Mann said he believes the two can be compati- ble. ‘*People enjoy the reality of a working waterfront,’’ he said, citing Granville Island and False Creek as places where the two have lived together successfully. But Loucks was not convinced that the two were compatible, saying that residents are intolerant of industry. Woman jailed for thefts A 28-YEAR-OLD woman was sentenced to three months in jail after appearing Jan. 30 in West Vancouver provincial court on several theft-related charges. Marcellina Arnold, of New Westminster, pleaded guilty to 14 counts that ranged from theft of cheques and using false pretences to obtain money to stealing credit cards and using them. The charges stem from a series of incidents occurring between Aug. 23, 1990 and Jan. 18, 1991. Judge E.J. Cronin also ordered Arnold to pay compensation of $6,590 to the various victims. She was also placed on probation until the completion of her jail sentence, which is to be served in- termittently. , . si "4 } y ; nas Yo Friday, February 8, 1991 - North Shore News - 5 lie 155% RRSP DEDUCTION Most investors receive a deduction of 100% on their RRSP contribution.
