BOWEN ISLAND

Tidal flats to be dredged CAROUSEL pi

four years and has made numerous
modifications to his plans.

Bowen residents opposing the
marina expansion and develop-
ment plan have complained that it
will destroy the island’s rural at-
mosphere, increase concentration
of commercial space on the cove’s
shore, encroach on Crippen Park’s
waterfront and give Dike virtual
control over the entire cove.

But the latest proposal from
Dike has reduced the proposed
new marina from its original 300
berths to 170.

Hankin said the marina expan-
sion will not extend any further
south into the harbor than it cur-
rently does, which will preserve
harbor view corridors from the
GVRD’s 600-acre Crippen Park.

Dredging along the cove shore’s
tidal flats will still be required, but
Hankin said severity of slope left
from the dredging will leave better
and safer beach gradients than
those that would have resulted
from earlier plans.

Under his origine! $5 million
plan, Dike proposed to expand his
85-berth Snug Cove Marina to 300
berths with an accompanying on-
shore development that would in-
clude a restaurant, marine pub,
laundromat and office space.

North Vancouver District Mayor
Marilyn Baker, who is the vice-
chairman of the GVRD board of
directors, said she had serious
concerns about the original size of
the marine expansion proposal and
its compatibility with Crippen
Park, and still has some concerns
about the plan, but she said the
GVRD board of directors also
recognized the need for revitaliza-
tion of Snug Cove.

The GVRD board agreed to
recognize the improvements to
Crippen identified in the report,
and will designate the $95,000
already allocated in the 1988 capi-
tal program, subject to a detailed
plan of costs and needs for the

park.

In addition to fourth reading to
the marina expansion bylaw, the
harbor revitalization plan also
needs approval from the federal
departments of Transportation and
Small Craft Harbors,
