Proposed Lynnmour ‘castle’
comes under fire in NVD

A PROPOSED ‘“‘castle’’ in Lynnmour came under fire from
planning staff and residents alike at a recent public hearing
before North Vancouver District Council.

As previously reported in the
News, Tom Bongalis has applied
to rezone property at 1496 Rupert
Street in order to establish a siting
area to accommodate a firearms
business. .

According to the application,
the building, named the Castle
Armoury, is intended to create a
readily identifiable structure which
both complements and expresses
the security requirements of the
business.

The design shows a miniature
medieval castle constructed of
split-faced concrete bloc’s, com-
plete with a crenellated parapet, in
tangerine orange.

‘4incongruous’’, municipal planner
Kai Kreuchen urged that if the
design is to be pursued, the build-
ing should be placed closer to the
film industry that it jitends to

usually situated in isolation. When
it is part of a street scene it is
rather more incongruous and
therefore of considerable more
concern. This has been expressed
by both the design panel and the
planning department,’’ said
Kreuchen.

“We feel that this type of ar-
chitecture should not occur
alongside what will be a very ma-
jor street for the district,’ he con-
cluded.

In his rezoning application of
Jan. 18, Bongalis stated that, ‘All
the owners of property along
Rupert Street and residential pro-

perties owners along this section of
Mountain Highway have been
