By Maureen Curtis Contributing Writer “This should indicate the good faith of this council. This motion will put an end to any planning of a golf course on those lands,” Ald. Andy Danyliu said. West Vancouver Mayor Mark Sager announced that a _ public hearing concerning the lands would be held in late February or early March. The area, he said, would be thoroughly studied at that time. Friends of Cypress, a group in- strumental in sinking the plans of West Vancouver Council and de- velopers to build a golf course in a 350-acre site in the Cypress Ridge area that contained some rare old-growth forest, supported council in removing the golf course designation and planning to study the entire area. “We are concerned not just with areas of old growth, but the entire Cypress Ridge area,’’ said Friends representative Sheena Vennesland. Council also passed terms of reference for the Cypress Ridge review process. A committee, made up of ex- perts, municipal staff and seven West Vancouver citizens, will ex- amine the options related to the establishment of an old-growth or nature reserve on Cypress Ridge. The committee will review ex- isting information about the area and recommend the most ap- propriate size for the reserve. It will advise on metkods of conducting an ecological survey of the study area and assist in WEST VANCOUVER DISTRICT COUNCIL establishing principles for its maintenance, The committee will also help identify areas of specific significance and look at possible access rules or structures designed to protect the forest ecology. Ald. Diana Hutchinson sug- gested that the area should possibly be closed to protect the fragile environment of the old- growth forest. The committee will recommend development projects for the ef- fective use of the reserve by the public, identify sources of funding for the work involved and follow up with a recommendation. Consideration of an educational program featuring the unique ecology of the new forest reserve ‘vit’ be another priority for the committee.
