Controversial Edgemont condominium
plans have been scaled down in size

The controversial ‘‘Edgemont Ridge Estates’? develop-
ment proposal for 2425 Edgemont Boulevard is being

revamped.

Following the public hearings,
the proponent suggested several
scaled-down versions of the 26-unit
project.

A new 16-unit proposal will be
introduced at the July 10 council
meeting and be the subject of a
new public hearing on July 24.
Plans are available for viewing at
the district Hall.

106 Kings Road at the corner of
Lonsdale is. a site under
redevelopment discussion. :

The proposal is for 19 units of
luxury condominium space and the
zoning is in place.

What is needed for the project
to proceed is issuance of a devel-
opment permit; however, concerns
about the height and scale of the
building will be further considered
at the July 10 Policy and Planning

IN REVIEW

A consultant’s social planning
study on unmet housing needs in
the municipalit,; was a direct result
of the controversy over illegal
suites and implementation of the
Registered Illegal Suite program. -

The findings of that study and
recommendations of the consul-
tants will be available later this
month.

The process included random
sampling interviews with a number
of tenants and landlords, ques-
tionnaires to all registered suites
and discussion with various indi-
viduals and organizations with
knowledge and expertise on hous-
ing matters.

This was followed by a focus
group discussion and a public

COMING SOON

We'll soon be making waves
with the go-ahead announcement
of a $1,000,000 GO B.C. Grant
from the provincial government.

This will be added to $3.5 mil-
lion already allocated by the
municipality to the RecCentre
Magnussen wave pool expansion.

These district monies are pro-
vided through the capital budget
and funded by municipal land
sales, not through your taxes
which pay for municipal operating
cost.

Many thanks to The Honorable
Jack Davis, our MLA, for: his
support of this project.
