hits store design

By JOANNE MacDONALD

ALD. JOAN Gadsby is
unhappy with some of the
goings-on at the recently-
opened Save-On-Foods
complex on Marine Drive.

She told North Vancouver
District Council Monday she
was concerned the size of
some of the parking stalls at
the complex do not conform
to the requirements of the
development permit.

“A small stall is supposed _
and 2 large -

to be 8x16 ft.

stall is 8.6x18 ft. 1 believe
that the stalls at Save-On-
Foods are below specs,’’ said
Gadsby in a later interview
with the Nerth Shore News,
“They're supposed to have
347 stalls in. the lot to con-
form to the requirements of
the development permit and
small stalls should be mark-
ed. But they’re now utilizing
stalis for shopping cart col-
lection.*’

Gadsby said she also
believes the turning radius in
the parking lot is non-con-
forming, as is the turning
radius in the entrance-exit

point to the underground
parking lot.

She also took issue with
certain illegal parking situa-
tions she observed when she:
visited Save-On-Foods Feb-
ruary 2. According . to
Gadsby, some employees -are
parking in spots originally

targeted for the public and’

she questioned why these vi-
olations were not being in-
vestigated.

Gadsby said she observed
the store conducting a
“warehouse function in a
retail space’? by storing tin
cans in boxes in the open

store area.

“Some oxes are piled
three, deep and the potential
is there for someone to get
hit on the head if someone
-should happen to oad or

‘unload these boxes from the
piles,”’ said Gadsby. ‘‘When

‘T asked an employee about.
it, | was told the boxes were >

there due to the high volume
of business that. the store
does.”

Gadsby is expected to
present her concerns to
Council tomorrow . evening

(Monday, Feb. 11) in’ the
form of a notice of motion.
