3 - Sunday, October 8, 1989 - North Shore News MAILBOX Yacht club encourages ‘multi-purpose’ use Dear Editor: Reference is made to the open letter by K. Brause to West Van- couver Council regarding Eagle Harbour Yacht Club's application for waterlot sub-lease in the area of EHYC buoy moorage. I commend Mr. Brause for his concern and for his having taken time and effort to make his points. There are, however, certain misconceptions in his letter which I wish to address in order to put this situation in better perspective. e The purpose of the waterlot sub-lease application is to regular- ize the buoy moorage facilities under the new scheme of municipal administration. © The waterlots containing the moorage floats are within the area of Blocks A and B and will be maintained there. There has not been any expansion of moorage facilities, nor is it EHYC’s inten- tion to do so in future. © The proposed sub-lease for the 15 boats on buoy moorage is not for the purpose of future expan- sion, EHYC, in fact, is quite prepared to commit to the Municipality of West Vancouver to the extent that usage of the new waterlot lease is to be limited to the 15 buoy moorages as presently exist. We wish to remove any con- cern by the local residents and others regarding possible expan- sion in this area and, therefore, are quite prepared to sign a restrictive lease. © The present breakwater is the same that was installed in 1975/ 1976. The breakwater provides Ardagh Personal Injury Hunter Barristers & Solicitors #300-1401 Lonsdale Ave., North Vancouver Free Initial Consultation protection and prevents flow of debris for all users of the bay and the beach area. The past-referenc- ed pollution problem at the beach and adjacent waters was not caus- ed by EHYC members, as has been acknowledged by the municipality. The problem has recently been eliminated through renewal and upgrading of the public sewer fa- cilities along Eagle Harbour Road. © We are pleased to note that swimmers are using the bay. It is Eagle Harbour Yacht Club’s policy not to impede their activities and we are happy to note from Mr. Brause’s comments that the buoy-moored boats do not present any problems in this regard. Rest assured that there is no intention on our part to extend the docks in- to this area. e The view of the open water at Eagle Harbour has been con- siderably enhanced recently by fac- ing the dock-moored boats in the seaward direction, similarly to the buoy-moored crafts. We are pleas- ed that the beach strollers have noted and appreciated this change for the betterment of all concern- We, at Eagle Harbour, wish to be good neighbors and our execu- tive’s policy is to maintain clean, orderly facilities including the ad- jacent waters. To support tnis pol- icy, we maintain a resident manag- er and police our members. Accordingly, we endorse ‘he multi-purpose use of the bay for everyone’s enjoyment. S.O.
