WV Council to discuss greenbelt issue

WEST VANCOUVER District
Council’s August vacation from
meetings was recently interrupted
when it agreed to reconvene Aug.
14 to settle on the location of the
greenbelt provisions for the nine-
lot Sannis Subdivision (Phase 1)
on the Caulfeild Plateau.

This followed lengthy submis-
sions from local residents’ repre-
sentative Jill Mingay, who ex-
pressed concern over the proposed
amount of greenbelt, and repre-
sentatives of the developer, who
stated the layout responds to the
natural topography and minimizes
reconfiguration of the site.

Although the district planning
department had approved the de-
veloper’s greenbelt plan, people
living in the first phase of the
Caulfeild development were not
satisfied thai those areas marked
would ever actually be green.

“‘We’re not sure that we’re get-
ting all the greenbelt that is
rightfully ours,” said Mingay.

Residents are also worried that
they won’t be sufficiently pro-
tected from roliing boulders. :

“The developers should produce
a landscape plan that will include
conservation of majer_ trees,
screening and replanting, so that
we will have this block of green
that is on the plans,’? Mingay said.

At Ald. Andy Danyliu’s sugges-
tion that the matter be tabled for
further study, tne developer’s rep-
resentative, land surveyor Bill
Chapman, complained that this
matier has been before council for
five months and before municipal
staff for 10 months.

“We believe we have done
everything in good faith, answered
the neighbors’ concerns and
Satisfied staff, the parks depart-
ment, the engineering department
and the legal department,”’ he

_ said.

Chapman argued that the devel-
oper had complied with all aspects
of the Land Use Contract and was
willing to supply a blasting sched-
ule which would £2 ‘‘unique in
West Vancouver.”*

GVRD to develop wasie strategy

THE GREATER Vancouver
Regional District (GVRD) is de-
veloping a new strategy for dealing
with the region’s garbage that
Stresses waste reduction, reuse and
recycling.

The strategy, prepared for the
GVRD by consultants MacLaren
Engineers, places emphasis on the
introduction of a co-ordinated
regional recycling program.

The plan will create a new
GVRD Resource Management
System that aims to phase in a
variety of measures over the next
five years to reduce by at least 20
per cent the amount of the solid
wastes being handled in Greater
Vancouver.

Forecasters say that by the late
1990s, the region’s waste disposal
systems may be able to handle only
80 per cent of the district’s gar-
bage.

km stretch of Duffey Lake Road.

The work, which is to be com-
pleted by Oct. 15, will call for the
hard surfacing of Pemberton Por-
tage Road between Mount Currie
and Lillooet, beginning 9.2 km
from Mount Currie.

tonnes of solid waste was disposed
of in GVRD waste facilities, and
the amount is increasing annually.

“The GVRD recognizes it is no
longer economiczjly, environmen-
tally or socially acceptable tc
merely dispose of garbage; rather,
waste should be looked at as a
resource chat, if correctly managed
and harvested, will enrich socie-
ty,”” states a recent GVRD press
release.

Recycling alone will not be
enough to reach the waste reduc-
tion goal, however. The new
scheme will begin with the regional
district cooperating with its
member municipalities, community
groups and business interests to
reduce the output of waste.

This approach will continue as

the GVRD develops initiatives ia
the area of recycling, including the
development of new markets for
recycled goods and the design and
implementation of an infrastruc-
ture of approprizce policies, ser-
vices and processing facilities.
Although existing recycling pro-
grams in the region have resulted
in the diversion of about {0 per
cent of refuse from the waste
Stream, it has been demonstrated
in Toronto and Long Island, New
York, that up to 75 per cent of res-
idential solid waste can potentially
be diverted through recycling.
GYRD staff have prepared a
step-by-step pian of action based
on the consultant’s report for
presentation to the Board of
Directors meeting in September.

the residents could themselves
plant trees in the greenbelt with
parks deparrment approval, Ald.
Pat Boname argued that this might
be easier for the developer to do.

Ald. Alex Brokenshire, however,
made the motion to table the mat-
ter for just two weeks.

“There are going to be houses
on that bench no matter what we
do and it is unreasonable to hold
up the developer for any length of
time,’’ he said.
