Congrats for Kotyk coverage

Dear Editor:

Tam writing to congrarulate
you and your reporter Martin
Millerchip for the coverage on
Me! Keryk. If anyone should
know about environmental
bylaws and permits, it would be
Mel Kotyk who bragged pub-
licly two years ago in the
Coquitlam News about the

iority of North Vancouver
Dorricr’ 's envircnmental
bylaws. Ifindeed Mr. Kotyk has

bypassed proper procedures or
used the bureaucratic process
to his own advantage he should
be fired, His actions are much
worse than those of an ordi-
nary citizen since he was not
ignorant of the law, but arro-
gant and contemptuous of the
process and therefore should
not be allowed to stay on the
ublic payroll.

Open letter to North
Vancouver City Mayor Jack
Loucks:

fr is with great concern
that ] address this letter to vou
as my neighborhood is once
again under threat of : .assive
development.

I strongly object to the
proposal for
amendment application:
241 East 23rd St.

The North Vancouver City
Development Services Report
states, “A land use study in
the 1980s concluded that
these lands should be devel-
oped as single-family
dwellings.”

This was in response to
several attempts to develop
this property into multi-family
zoning which the neighbor-
hood did not support.

My children and 1 enjoy
living in our small house on a
single-family lot. The view of
Grouse Mountain from our
deck is wonderful. The neigh-
bors are friendly and we
appreciate the recreation,
community facilities and ser-
vices that’ currently exist in
our neighborhood.

Eleven years ago when |
purchased this property, the
North Shore Alliance Church
was in carly construction.
Before I purchased the house,
I visited city hall to find out
the entire extent of the church
construction.

Upon completion, the
church exceeded the height
shown in the orginal plans.
As a result, I have a view of
the church sanctuary rather
than the Lions.

If the proposed expansion
Project is to go ahead, I will
also lose the view of Grouse
Mounrzain and will be looking
at the back of a three-storey
concrete wall.

‘Spot’ rezoning not welcome

most days and
evenings of the week, the
North Shore Alliance Church
has a major impact on our
quiet residential neighbor-
hood

Noise, tratfic and insuffi-
cient parking are of significant
concern. For example, last
Sunday 200 cars were parked
in and around the church.
The church lot as well as the
recreation centre and court-
house parking lots were all
filled as was parking on St.
Georges Avenue and 23rd
Street.

The proposed expansion
only provides for 144 parking
stalls. This, of course, will be
entirely inadequate after the
church facility quadruples in
size.

Due to the high concen-

Picks of the week -

tration of civic and recreation
facilities in the area, traffic is
already very heavy. This will
impact the safety of children
and seniors attending recre-
ation facilities.

The proposed expansion
will decrease our property
value and make this neighbor-
hood much less desirable to
live in or to move to.

As I have stated in my pre-
vious letters to mayor and
council, IT am not against
development in our neighbor-
hood. I am against special
consideration and “spot”

rezoning. In discussion with
my neighbors it is clear that
we do not support the instiru-
tional development proposal
by the North Shore Alliance
Church and we expect staff to
recommend rejection of this
proposal.

! trust that mayor and
council will act in support of
the residents of our neignbor-
hood and ensure that the
property in question finally be
developed for single- family
dwellings.
