WEST VANCOUVER
DISTRICT COUNCIL

By Maureen Curtis

“¢> Martin of Martin Corporation

-Lid., was responsible for some of

the better housing developments in
the - municipality, West Vancouver
Mayor Mark Sager said. : :

-- He died, December 15, at the age

1585 V MacGoivan | Avenue, North Van,

of 77, after battling cancer for sev-
eral years,

Martin was probably the biggest
individual developer of property in
West Vancouver in recent: years,
according to land surveyor Bill
Chapman whose father has worked
on projects with Martin's: father
George since the 1950s, Over 100
lots in the Caulfeild area have been
developed by Martin. Another 100
lots will be developed in the area.

He was also earlier involved in
the formation of a couple of hun-
dred lots in Westmount Estates and
in the financing of major water sys-
tems that serviced new housing.

- According to his development
agent, Fred E. Russell, a popular

1950s Vancouver subdivision is an
example of Martin's experimenta-
tion wilh. the idea of placing build-
ing foundations “where they fit.”
and then drawing in the Jot lines.
‘Today, developers are increasingly
limited in their building options hy
bylaw restrictions,

Martin disliked sham and pre-
tense and refused to march to any-
one else’s drum, Russell said.

Chapman described Martin as
“gruff, but with a heart of gold. He
made sure that his lands were devel-
oped in a reasonable and sensible
manner,” Chapman said. Martin is
survived by his wife Joanie, daugh-
ters Joanne, Dale and Jane and sev-
eral grandchildren.
