Lower Caulteild area
preservation debated

Municipality considers ways to
protect charm of western section

PRESERVING THE unique
character of the Lower
Caulfeild area of West
Vancouver remains a com-
mon goal in West Van-
couver.

By Maureen Curtis
Contributing Writer

But there remains littl agree-
ment over how to achieve that
goal.

Located in the older western
part of the municipality, Lower
Caulfeild is characterized by nar-
row curving streets, informal pe-
destrian paths, large lots with low
site coverage, mature and lux-
uriously green (not a fot of
swimming pools and tennis courts)
landscaping, curved driveways and
varied housing.

Some of the homes are listed in
the heritage inventory and many
possess steeply pitched roofs.

There is also a jack of side-
walks, curbs and gutters, street
lighting and street parking.

The area was laid out by a vi-
sionary West Vancouver pioneer.

On Nov. 23, West Vancouver
District Mayor Mark Sager said.
“For years people have tried to
define just what makes that area
so wonderful."”

But while council was receiving
a report from planner Laura Lee
Richard, which detailed the results
of a study by local residents of
their area, resident Glen Patterson
accused the group that has been
conducting the study of being just
five or six families ‘masquerading
as representing Lower Caulfeild.”*

But he said the group did not
actually speak for the more
than 60 other people living in the
area.

He asked counci! to reject the
work of the group which was bas-
ed on a detailed questionnaire that
had been sent out by them to area
households.

One of the respondents noted
the difficulty in preserving the
character and charm of Lower
Caulfeild with the least intrusion
into private rights and without
dictating ‘‘good taste."

Included in the report were
possible bylaw amendments con-
cerning setbacks, site coverage, lot
size, design guidelines, and
heritage designation that could be
enacted to preserve local character

Bur Patterson) was concerned
that legislating a fower allowable
site coverage would preclude the
subdivision of the area’s larger
lots.

He suid council should wait un-
ul 2 real ratepayers group could
be formed in the area with elected
representatives,

Backtracking on its original
motion, council decided to mail
out the part of Richard’s report
that deals with the elements that
characterize Lower Caulfeild, with
a view towards further public
discussion in #993, but not ask the
provincial government to proceed
with legislation that would permit
councils to consider heritage area
designation,
