House
sizes
reviewed

NORTH Vancouver City Council
has called for a revicw of max-
imum house sizes in the 7".

N ORTH VANCOUVER
> CITY COUNCIL“

The June 25 move was the first
Step toward reducing monster
houses in the municipality.

Council] members expressed
concern at the meeting that the
current gross floor area of half
the lot size is too high for houses
being built on average-sized lots.

“We have to make suse the
redevelopment that does occur fits
the character of that
neighborhood,’” said Ald. Bill
Bell.

‘*I’m looking forward to seeing
the staff report,’’ said Ald. Stella
Jo Dean.

She added that she wanted to
see the ratio of gross floor area at
.4 rather than .5 times the lot size.

The resolution, which passed
unanimously, stated that ‘‘there is
great concern by many citizens as
to the size of large (monster)
homes being built on small and
average-sized lots.’’

It also stated that council] nasn’t
reviewed house size on such lots
since 1987.

MVD corner lot
size to increase

NORTH VANCOUVER District
Council took a small step recently
towards reducing the appearance
of bulky houses in the municipali-
ty by moving a bylaw amendment
that will increase the width re-
quired for the creation of new
corner lots.

The Task Force on Single-Fami-
ly Housing Design Issues had
recommended increasing sideyard
setbacks by 10 feet on corner lots,
and the recommendation was
adopted by council in February.

To avoid the creation of
disproportionate houses during
subdivision of corner lots the task
force had also proposed that the
minimum width for corner lots in
all zoning categories be increased
by 10 feet, and after unanimous
council approval the proposal will
now go to public hearing on July

The amendment will not deal
with current lots, but will apply, if
passed, to all future in-fill sub-
divisions and land development
proposals.
