In West Vancouver

By BILLBELL .

West Vancouver has a
“moral obligation” to
compensate landowners
whose property value could
drop if a controversial
rezoning bylaw amendment

is adopted, says West Vap--

Alderman Don Lanskail.

This compensation could
cost the West Van taxpayers
millions of dollars if the
property owners’ estimates
of lost land values are
correct.

No final decision was
made as West Vancouver
council referred the
amendment bylaw to its staff
for further study Monday
night. The amendment
lowers the maximum density

further highrise develop-
ment in West Van.

Lanskail told council that
although the municipal
solicitors say there is no

moral one, are
responsible for

pensation for loss af real
estate value if we adopt this
bylaw admendment? i

compensation as the answer.
