Three-storey house
draws WN. Van beefs

TEN FORBES Avenue residents
have complained to North Van-
couver City Counci] over a new
three-storey house being built in
the area,

The 10 residents, whose
signatures appeared on a petition
presented to council] Monday, said
the three-storey house is out of
keeping with the general ap-
pearance and character of the
neighborhood.

But council’s hands were tied.

Acting director of development
and ficensing Fred Smith told

council that a building permit had
already been issued for the site.
“We couldn't do anything with
respect to down-sizing,’’ Smith
said.

In addition to the new house,
the residents also objected to the
front-facing garage. ‘‘The owner
has trucks, two cars and a large
trailor, which congest traffic and is
a disturbing factor,’’ the petition
read.

“It looks to me like he is carry-
ing out a business from that loca-
tion,"’ city administrator Ed Ray-
mond remarked.

RAMSAY RD. RETAINS ZONING

Small lots rejected

SMALE EOS, even big
stall tots, have no place on
Ramsay Road according to
North Vancouver District
Council.

Hy MICHARL BECKER
News Reporter

Ina split 3-3 tie vote, council re-
jected Monday a bid to rezone [7
parcels of Hand on the eastern side
of the 4500 and 4600 blacks Ram-
say Road fram RSJ (60 foot fron-
tage) to RS4 (50 foot frontage).

The application by realtor Con-
tad Swanson on behalf of owner
Walter Jones entailed subdividing
three 100-foot lots on Ramsay, in-
to six 50-foot fots.

Voting against the rezoning,
Ald. Joan Gadsby included among
her reasons for rejection the fear
that small lots would increase in
the area once rezoned.

“As things stand, there's a
shortage of targer lots in the
district,’’ said Gadsby.

But Ald. Craig Clark said in
support of the zoning bid, ‘‘Over
all the area would not be impaired
regarding living standards. These
small lots would have 50-foot
frontage and considerable depth.”

Council’s rejection was backed
by the district’s Advisory Planning
Commission (APC) recommenda-
tion that council ‘‘deny this ap-
plication on the basis that approval
sets a precedent of gradual density
increases in existing
neighborhoods.”

The initial May | application for
rezoning was accompanied by a
petition signed by Ramsay Road
residents favoring the change in
zoning.

District statt,
APC, recommended
the revonimg in fune,

But, an a petition dated August
S, Ramsay Road residents pres
ented ciel with a petigion rejee-

approval of

meluding — the

Ung the change io voning, arguing
for retention of RSI zoning in the
neihborhood.

“The Lttest information we hive
is that 17 people ire against the
rezoning, * said Gadsby.
