2 - Friday, May 31, 1985 - North Shore News From Page 1 Staff recommended that tickets should continue to be issued as usual, but that the City computer would automatically nullify any residents whose address was in the 300 block East 12th. STICKERS “The stickers were my idea,’’ Young said, ‘‘because 1 thought it would cost Iess money and would be less work. But if the city feels their idea is less work, I don’t’ care which method is used. My main objective is that residents be able to park in front of their own home without being penalized.*’ City engineer Alan Phillips suggested the com- puter system be tried on a three-month trial period, after which staff would report back to council. An amendment by Ald. Rod Clark to extend the ex- empticn from the 300 block of 12th Street to the same in 13th, 14th and 15th Street Tickets cancelled was also approved. | Proposed amendments by Ald. Stella Jo Dean, to have stickers issued instead of us- ing the computer, and by Ald. Dana Taylor to have the parking exemption in- clude apartment dwellers in the 100 and 200 blocks, on top of the single family dwellings in the 300 block were turned down. Clark brought up the parking exemption in Any Other Business, where coun- cil voted 3-1 to use the com- puter exemption system for a three-month trial period. Taylor went against the motion saying he felt a sampling of the entire area should be done and ex- cluding apartment dwellers from the’ exemption was discriminatory. Said Taylor: ‘You're try- ing to put under a micro- scope the problem from one “vocal group, who deserve at-_ tention, but along with others. If we welcome the concerns of every lobby group, we'll have a parade in here every night.’’ ewars. SCOTCH WHISKY “White Label: dohn Dewar & Sons Ltd.

Wharf plan attacked From Page 1 of the 11 townhouses; while the eastern area of the prop- erty would remain zoned M-3, In addition, on the eastern site ILC has proposed to build a two-storey marine services building. According to West Van's zoning and development department, ‘‘the existing 68-berth marina would be retained, although the boat repair yard will be reduced from about 50,000 square feet to 15,000 square feet.** However, ILC insists that the actual repair yard site is only 35,000 square feet. A “‘public area’ is also proposed for the site which’ would consist of some seating facilities and a 180- foot boardwalk. Public opposition to development in the Fish- erman’s Wharf asea has a long history going back to {973 when a 48-unit townhouse proposal was re- jected by council. In 1975 a bid to expand the marina, moorage facili- ties and build a restaurant was quashed. Then in 1977, council received another townhouse proposal for the waterfront region which also failed to garner the municipality’s blessing. More recently, in 1981, a 13-unit. townhouse design was shot down. Council decided Monday that before public discussion is initiated on the proposal it would be best first to get comments from the municipality’s advisory planning and recreation committees. However, opposing inter- ests have already circulated an unsigned notice denounc- ing the ILC scheme. Concerns raised in the let- ter focus on the likely reduc- eee si Vion of the boat repair area which would eliminate ‘‘all heavy boat work now being carried out in the (maintenance) yard."" “Then it will be gone for- ever to be covered entirely by condos. We have seen marine services disappear in False Creek or (at least) reduced to a token. Our West Van lumber yard disappeared some time ago. Can we afford to lose this major repair facility in this water oriented community?”’ said the anonymous letter. Denis Fieldwalker, Har- bour Yacht's president, outlined his support for the redevelopment in a Jetter to council. He said that if ILC is allowed to rebuild the site according to their then the marina would benefit from improved siting of the buildings. “Fromm a yacht sales view- point it is very important to is low? plans, . be located where our office can be seen from Marine Drive and where we can see our moored boats and dry land display,’’ said Fieldwalker. Mayor Derrick Huin- phrys, however, said that since ILC’s proposal has ben referred to the advisory committees, it would be at least July before the scheme would return to council for discussion. if you have a or condominium on the North Shore, compare your existing insurance with our pac kages.
