Park plan raises questions

SOME DEEP Cove mer-
chants are upset by actions
of North Vancouver District
Council concerning decisions
involving the plan for the
area.
The whole issue, says
. Russell: Davies," of Russell
‘Davies Goldsmiths, is . that
. Deep Cove residents were
promised an overall plan but
council has sidestepped that

by joining Panarama_ Park

-and Wickindon Park

together and coming-up with
a Deep Cove Park Plan.

At issue, says Davies, are:
a public parking area that
has been given to the Yacht
Club for. private parking; a
new. public. parking’ lot that
merchants say is out. of the
way; “and a vacant lot. that
was incorporated into Deep

| Picketing
agreement
reached

A LABOR Relations
Board hearing into the Park
& Tilford dispute has
resulted in an agreement.

Pickets . which went up
Sunday, May. 19 protesting
the hiring of an outside
gardener came down Wed-
nesday, May 22.. The .LRB
hearing: was held Thursday,
May 23 and was attended by
Larry Pare, plant manager
at Park & Tilford, and rep-
resentatives of Brewery
Workers Union local 300.

The union’s business agent
John Langley said the union
agreed ‘not to picket..and
management agreed not to

hire outside gardeners until
an arbitration hearing can be
held on the issue June 20. A
decision will then be
rendered by the end of June.
. Over the long weekend the
development consultant for
the sale of the. property,
Hyland, Turnkey ‘hired a
gardener to do maintenance
in the gardens. The union
picketed claiming the move
broke a collective agreement
signed by the two parties in
1984.

Park & Tilford Distillery
and Gardens have been clos-
ed since last year although
the retail shop, The Garden
Spirit Shop, remains open.

Cove park that is now up for
redevelopment.

Deep Cove merchants,
who are in the process of
forming an association, are
proposing a fetter to council
asking why some of these
decisions have pveen made
outside of public meetings.

But according to North
Vancouver District Mayor
Marilyn Baker, council has
yet to see the final draft of
the Deep Cover Park Plan
and another open house and
public meeting are planned
before the plan becomes
final.
Dykemann and = municipal
planner Kai Kreuchen say
there has been ample oppor-
tunity for input from Deep
residents and = mer-
chants and there will be
more chances for input be-
fore the plan becomes final.

Davies complained that at
each public hearing the plans
were the same, with no up-
dates. Dykemann said some
people may be confused with
what is planned because of
the drawings shown at the
open houses already held.
Dykemann stresses that these
are just the initial drawings
from the consultants and not
the final plans.

There are two plans in-
volved, Dykeman says. The
first is the Deep Cove Park
Plan and the second is the
Gallant Ave. Design
Guidelines, which deals with
the problems of design and
parking on the street leading
to the park itself.

According to Davies, one
aspect of the proposed plan

Both Aid. Murray.

_ plan will reflect’ a

concerns the location of
public parking. Davies says
the merchants feel the area
now proposed for parking is
out of the way of the ccom-
mercial core and the area
would be better served by a
parking lot closer to
downtown. General
washrooms near that park-
ing lot are also felt to be out
of the way.

Davies says the merchants
will ask council the future
plans for the Deep Cove area
and why some areas are
unaccounted for in the Deep
Cove Park Plan. The letter
asks who delegated the
public parking area near
“The Nutshell’’ as exclusive
parking for Yacht Club
members and when the deci-
sion was made.

Baker says council will
probably see the draft report
of the Deep Cove Park Plan
at Monday's council
meeting. An open house is
planned for June 8, says
Baker and a public meeting
is tentatively scheduled for
June 17, Baker says about
$500,000 has been set aside
to improve the park and the
project will probably be in
two phases.

Dykemann says there is
still time left for input be-
fore the plan becomes final.
“*] suspect that the opportu-
nity to see the draft pian will
probably satisfy a lot of
people,’? he said. And he
says he is hopeful the final
large
amount of input from Deep
Cove merchants and
residents.
