Area is inappropriate,
according to businesses

From page 4

Hollyburn Hyundai, said that the
large number of youths in the area
would not only increase van-
dalism, but discourage after-hours
shoppers from browsing through
the car lots.

A July 9 report from the city’s
development services ad-
ministrative coordinator Frank
Caouette stated that problems
outside the youth club would be
likely.

“Based on the experience of
other jurisdictions, the RCMP
report that very few problems are
encountered within the premises,
however police enforcement agen-
cies encounter difficulties with the
use of drugs and alcohol outside.
The majority of these establish-
ments have closed down quickly
as revenues apparently did not
support the operation.’

But Islaub named 18 other area

businesses that had signed letters
of support for his youth club.

He also pointed out that his
discussions with local police and
youth authorities indicated that
only Marine Drive or Lower
Lonsdale would be appropriate
for a youth club because they are
high-traffic, high-profile areas
with no adjacent residential pro-
perties.

He also pointed out that other
municipalities are paying for simi-
Jar facilities, while his company’s
operaticn would be a youth solu-
tion that the taxpayers would. not
have to pay for.

Although the motion that coun-
cil defeated was simply to inform
Sanctuary that their plan met the
requirements of the city zoning
bylaw, its defeat indicated that
council would not approve the
plan and would not issue a
business licence for the club.
