Lonsdale options for
development go public

. PUBLIC INPUT will soon be ‘invit-
ed on four proposals for the devel-
opment of a prominent Lower
Lonsdale site.

NORTH VANCOUVER
CITY COUNCIL
By Grace Golightly

The four options for the proper-
ty, situated on the east side of
Lonsdale between 3rd Street and
4th Street, range from a five-storey,
40-foot (12 m) building to a 16-
storey highrise of 150 feet (45 m).
~All options provide both resi-
dential and commercial space.

Only the 40-foot building option
would comply with both the area's
present zoning and with the Official
Community Plan (OCP).

The second option, which calls
for two six-storey buildings, would
comply with the OCP, but would
require zoning. .

If either the third option, a sin-
gle 12-storey building, or the high-
rise option are pursued, both rezon-
ing and an amendment to the OCP
would be required.

NORTH VANCOUVER
DISTRICT COUNCIL
by Martin Millerchip

So said. Daphne MeLean al
North Vancouver District's April
27 public forum on the regional
Drinking Water Quality. Strategy.

McLean was justone of many
people who told council that given
a choice, they would prefer lo see
natural choices made when it
comes te the disinfection of the
Lower Miaintind’s water supply,

Not one speaker was in favor of
using chloramine (a mixture of
bleach and ammonia that has a
Jonger residual life in water than
chlorine buat is potentially more
harmful to fish) as either a primary
or secondary disinfectant, Most
wanted an alternative to chlorine as
well,

For Greater Vancouver Regional
District (GVRD) and health board
representatives the meeting was a

case of same-song-but-slightly-dif-:

ferent-cast to the meeting held ear-
lier at the North Shore Winter Club,
where not one of 46 speakers was
in favor of the chloramine option.

But the latest mecting was con-
vened by district council rather than
the GVRD.

Mayor Murray Dykeman told
the meeting that council had want-
ed to provide an opportunity of
“having the benefit of the opinions
and concerns of our residents”
before the) GVRD- Water
Committee recommends a water
treatment option.

. Whether the 50 people who
showed up were truly representa-
tive of district opinions or not it
was abundantly clear that they all
shared fittle confidence in the
management . of
Vancouver’s watersheds and its
approach to obtaining public feed-
back on drinking water safety.
