An application by the’
North Shore Community
‘Credit Union for a shopping
centre in the Maplewood

area. at 2025 Dolarton
Highway met with a mixed
reception by the Policy and
Planning Committee of North
Vancouver District council
Monday night.

The land, which is already
zoned for such a purpose, isa
triangular shaped site lying
between existing Mohawk

_ and Esso service stations and

- Opposite the Riverside Mews
townhouse development.
The Credit Union is reques-
ting a siting area amendment

_,{© permitthe development.

The committee heard that

_the proposed shopping

‘centre would contain, in
addition to a large Credit
Union building, a drug store,
food store, baker, butcher,
gocer, barber, a laundromat
and professional offices. The
total area would be 27,910 -
sq. ft. plus more than

. adequate parking and. load-
ing spaces.

Alderman Marilyn Baker
said she had noticed that the
proposal was not looked upon
too favorable by District — -
staff. She noted that the site
had once been earmarked for
use by ICBC as a claims
centre but this had not been
followed up. The use of the
site had always been conten-
tious, but she proposed that
the appropriate bylaw be
prepared so that a public
hearing into the matter could
be held.

Alderman Peter Powell
agreed with Baker that the
matter should go to public
. bearing, and Alderman
Lakes also agreed, subject to
the implementation of con-
ditions suggested by District
staff.

Alderman Mary Segal,
however, opposed the
proposal because, she said, it
conflicted with established
Seymour development
policy. Aldermen Jim Ball
and Gordon Rose were also
hesitant to support the
application and felt. as it was
probable in the long run that
the proposal would be
defeated, that it would be
better to “*kill’’ it during the
present meeting rather than
let it drag on.

Alderman Baker pointed
out that council has never
ayreed upon a_ definitive
policy for Seymour and that
there was no reason at this
time to believe that the
proposal was doomed. She
insisted that a public hearing
was needed to éstablish the
pros and cons of. this
development and, with fur-
thur support from Alderman
Lakes, a motion was carried
authorizing staff to prepare a
by-law - the first necessary
step toward a public hearing.

District staff had commen-

ted that, in terms of
commercial policy for
Seymour, they could not

support a scheme that would
result in a centre much larger
than required for the
Maplewood neighbourhood.
or which would represent a
conflict with the centre
included in council's

Seymour Policy statement o
. December 1977.
