10 - Sunday, August 17, 1986 - North Share News FAMILY RELIEVED AFTER NV DECISION Home day care approved A HOME day care with a second family suite has been ap- proved by North Vancouver City Council in the Tempe Heights area, much to the relief of the Hilliard family of West Vancouver. ‘We were very appreciative of the support from Ald. (Stella Jo) Dean,”’ remarked Susan Hilliard. Reacting to Dean’s motion, council went against city staff's recommendation to reject the pro- posal and direct the applicants to a two-family residential zone. “T t’s not a two-family situa- tion,’’ explained Mr. Hilliard, who bought property in Tempe Heights intending to build a home for his By MAUREEN CURTIS Conmiunag Writer daughter Jane and three grand- children.

As well as providing the means Bike thefts increase POLICE are seing an alarming increase in the number of bicycle thefts in the Lower Mainland area and are urging owners to take precautions to secure their property. Bicycle thefts in the Vancouver region alone exceed 1,000 reported cases since the beginning of the year. touring and mountain terrain models on the Sophisticated racing, market have made bicycles high-priced items that appeal to thieves, Some mountain bikes are worth $1,000 or more on the retail market. Police believe members of well-organized bicycle theft rings are responsible for the sharp rise in stolen bicycles. Stolen bikes can be resold as parts to new owners on the black market. The thieves are usually well organized; preferring to scout bicycle racks at parks, shopping malls or recreation centres. The expensive models that are not secured or secured with cheap lock- ing devices are plucked out and quickly deposited in an awaiting van, or similar vehicle. Anyone having information on an individual or individuals involved in organized bicycle theft should contact Crimestoppers at 669-TIPS (8477). Crimestoppers will pay up to $2,000 for information leading to the ar- rest of one or more persons involved in a crime. Callers do not have to reveal their identity or appear in court.

The Hilliards searched, unsue- cessfully, for a place that would meet their needs. City staff nei- ther encouraged or discouraged the family from buying the property, and the Hilliards felt they had designed the dwelling to comply with all regulations.

Council approved the hame diy care only after considerable discussion and after a stipulation was made that the floor area be reduced by some 435 square feet. Both the family suite and the day care area had to be cut to conform with zoning bylaws and the other residences in the area, “ Lthink it's a very large home," said Ald. Eiko Kroon, who felt the Hilliards should wait a few weeks until the Advisory Planning Commission could consider the upplication, BUILDING CONCERN “My concern is with over- building,’ stared Dean. Bean complimested city planner Richard White on his report on regulations for one-family residen- tial zones, which currently permit the building of some very large houses, In established areas, massive hemes are also going up that are out of character with their older neighbors. This has caused some problems with view blockage, rear yard privacy reduction and illegal suites, Some 58 per cent of the first 50 dwelling permits issued in 1986 are for homes with more than 3,000 square feet, the largest being 4,923 square feet.
