North Vancouver District
council members have been
invited to come to 1521
Hunter Street and see for
themselves what ex-
propriation of part of the
property for a new fire hall is
going to look like.

The invitation was ex-
tended by Lark Noble who
appeared as a delegation
before council Monday on
behalf of .herself and her

brother and __ sister-in-law
who own the property.
The new fire hall is

planned for the site of the
existing Number 2 station
but expropriation of some of
the Noble’s property which
hes behind the station is also
required.

“It’s going to look awful,”
she said. “People driving by
are going to say, “Who
planned this?”

Most of their backyard
will be lost.

“For us, no backyard
means no garage, no
vegetable garden, no lawn,
no patio, no clothesline, no
fruit trees,” she said.

But Noble said the family’s
feelings go “much deeper
and further back.” Three
generations of Nobles have
lived in the house their
grandfather built and Lark
Noble spoke of _ the
emotional ties the family still
feels for the house and its
garden.

She also criticized council

for the “sneaking, un-
derhanded way” in which the
expropriation bylaw was
passed.

“We learned about this

bylaw more than two weeks
after the fact,” she said. “It’s
pretty scary when you don't
even have the ‘say’ or
control over what happens
to land you live on and
rightfully own.”

Noble said the council has
had “this business on its
books” for eight years. “It
seems the council has not
had the correct business
foresight to make a deal
when the time was right.”

She accused council of
being reluctant to pay the
price of commercially zoned
land and instead, “to ex-
propriate a_ residential
property which is worth one-
third the cost of commercial
property.

But she suggested the
action did not “reflect the
will of the electorate.” She
presented a petition signed
by 27 area residents sup-
porting her protest.

Noble listed several op-
tions she felt were still open
to council, including pur-

‘Don’t take
our home’ —
the Noble cry

chasing land “from people
who want to sell” and a new
design for the fire hall which
would not require additional
land. She also listed five
alternate sites she thought

might be available.
But, she said, “If you
absolutely cannot find

another site, we would wish
you to buy our whole place
rather than cripple its worth

and desecrate our
memories.”

At the end of her
presentation, Mayor Don

. Bell pointed out that the

District has been prepared to
buy the entire site for the
past four years — at “fair
market value.”

But the Nobles’ and the
District’s ideas of “fair
market value” differ con-
siderably and the two parties
have failed to reach an
agreement on price.

Council agreed to con-
sider the matter further in
camera and to report back
within two weeks.
