DENNIS Madsen is mad as hell.
So is Sylvester Wraesinski, his
neighbor.

The Dollarton Highway residents live in hous-
es exclusively located wathin a) forest: enclave
accessed by a single drivesvay, Their shared space
has been a hive ed activity during the last several
years and it’s not the type of activity either one’s
proud of,

Visitors to the 3800-block Dollirtan Highway
rendences have treluded representatives of the
ROMP, the SPCA, North Vancouver District and
the federal Departmert of Fisheries. “Phe ROMP
Mone have made five visits,

The brink of their property line chat és.

North Vancouver District property surround
ing the nwo private lots slopes toward the northern
edge of their property fine, Gntoramately for the
ne owners, the steep bank fas since started to
slide towards them,

According to the district's manager of cus-
tomer service and projects Len Fensen, the district
is performing reinforcement work on the slope on
their property.

“Our concern is to deal with the problean as it
is,” said: Jensen. “We're hoping to get it done

quickly as the weather is good.”

Madsen deesn't agree with any of i.

He blames Wreesinski, his westerly neighbor,
who Madsen says dumped dirt and debris excavat-
cd to build Wrzesinski’s house on to the slope.

Madsen says it should be Wreesinski who pays
for the slope’s stabilization, not the district using
taxpayers’ funds,

The district's fensen disagrees, at least for the
tine being.

“Dealing with the hazard and diding with who
pays for it are two different issues,” said Jensen,
adding that the district’s legal department is look-
ing at ways of recovering its costs ata later date.

Don't look this way says Wrzesinski, who
maintains he has a bill for $20,000 that he paid to
have the pnaterial removed.
