Council debates
SIM purchase of
Argyle Ave. site

Present owner will rent property

WEST VANCOUVER
District Councii will be ad-
ding yet another piece of
property to its string of lots
along the Argyle Avenue
waterfront.

The propos :d price for the 1576
Argyle Ave. home is $1 million.

Couacil finally agreed, Nov. 23,
to make the purchase of the $1
million home at 1576 Argyle, but
only after a council debate, the
previous week, when Coun. Andy
Danyliu expressed his concerns
about the future use of the prop-
erty.

Danyliu said he did not want to
see the house turned into another
facility for local arts groups.

**That’s not what the taxpayers
had in mind when they gave us
the mandate to purchase those
properties,”’ said Danyiiu.

West Vancouver has been ac-
quiring waterfront properties be-
tween Dundarave and Ambleside
for use as seawalk and park for
the public.

Some of the houses were torn
down and the land developed as
park,

A few houses were preserved
for their esthetic values sid their
usefulness as facilities for arts and
theatre groups until a permanent
arts centre is constructed.

**We are in need of cultural fa-
cilities, and we are in a reces-
sion,’’ said Coun. Diana Hutchin-
son.

Coun, Danyiiu offered a motion
that would indicate council’s in-
tention of using the 1576 Argyle
property to extend John Lawson
Park and playground, ‘for the
use of all citizens in West. Van-
couver,”’

Danyliu said that buying the
house for $1 million and then
“handing it over’? as a clubhouse
for a group would be ‘fiscal ir-
responsibility.’’

Although Coun. Rod Day
seconded Danyliu’s motion, it
failed for lack of sufficient sup-
port.

“It’s premature to say what the
use of that house should be 10
years down the 7oad,"’ said Coun.
Pat Boname.

She noted that the current
owners of the house have an
agreement for lifetime tenancy in
it.

Because the owners will become
renters, the actual price of the

Property will be reduced to

“T have always -been a parks
person, but If do not feel the
Necessity to state exactly what
‘park purpose’ means and tie the
future council’s hands,’ said
Coun. Hutchinson.

Coun. Ron Wood said quali-
fying the use of the property now

would be ‘‘inappropriate.”’
