NO SUPPORT FOR NV CITY FROM DISTRICT

Won't protest ‘tacky little notice’

North Vancouver Distnct
council has refused to
support a North Van City
council request to protest
against a provincial
government addition to this
year's property tax forms.

On February 4, City

council voted to protest to
the Minister of Municipal
Affairs about the addition,
which will inform residents
how much money the
provincial government has
saved them.

City staff commented that

The owner of a 48 unit
apartment building at 105
West Keith Road came
before North Vancouver
City council tast week with a
request to. straufy the
building which he says is in
such bad shape that the
turnover rate of tenants 1s up
to 33 per cent a month.

T.J. Kristainsen, who
owns the building known as
‘Simpson House’ said it is in
“quite bad shape from top to
bottom.”

He said he would have to
spend about $150,000 to
carry oul renovanhions which
would include rebuilding the
kitchens in the suites and
installing a new boiler.

These renovations would
mean raising the rents from
the current $250 a month to
in excess of $425 a month, he
said.

the addition, referred to by
one alderman as “a tacky
little notice,” could cost
“several thousand dollars.”
Council also voted to send
a letter to other
municipalities urging them to
protest to the government.

Because the turnover rale
is sO great, Kristiansen says
he has no choice but to
renovate the building.

A request to strauty was
rejected last year because of
the City’s pohecy of not
allowing the stratification of
existung rental units until the
vacancy rate in the City
reaches 3 percent

Krisuansen came belore
councu to see uf they would
reopen the matter.

granted, he said the building
is in danger vf becoming a
“no-tell motel.”

Council did not debate the
matter Monday night
because Alderman Gordon
Cross could not find a
seconder to support a move
to add the subject to the
agenda.

Last week Distnct council
considered the request and
decided not to support it.

Council felt that the
addition would not cost them
anything and there was no
reason to protest against it.
