David Knee has been an advocate for Norgate residents for many years. He was involved in the Lower Capilano Official Community Plan (OCP) planning process. Knee told North Vancouver District Council at a June 9 pub- lic hearing tor the Avalon redevelopment that the project was much larger than the mixed-use concepts conceived in the OCP. Knee urged council to set standards for the entire Marine Drive corridor before procecding with the development. The 45-room hotel and beer parlor was purchased by Ken Hutchinson in 1985 and subsequently renovated to include a beer and wine store. Hutchinson's proposed development includes: B 85 residential units; B a 30-seat neighborhood pub; @ a beer and wine store; @ approximately eight commercial and retail units. nder the proposed CD (comprehensive development) zon- ing a building height of 49.2 fect (15 metes) is proposed. The residential units would vary in size from 527 square feet to 926 square fect (49 sq. m to 86 sq. m). On Monday council deferred decision on zoning approval for the development until July 20. Council wanted clarification on site access, a restrictive covenant to ensure the retention of 113 residential and 22 visitor arking spaces, and an amendment prepared that would limit the uilding height to a maximum 46 feet (14 m).

Trevor Carolan said he was pleased that the develop- ment would include the first live-work units in the district (four).
