A meeting not quite secret

but fairly orivate—‘‘not in
camera but out of the public
eye’’—that is what acting
Mayor R.C. Wyatt . wants
when West Vancouver coun-
cil considers a stinging attack
by its own advisory planning

commission next week.

nN

Monday night the plan-
ning commission recommen
ded that council approve in
principle a proposed road
network’ to develop land
above the Upper Levels
Highway between Lawson
and Marr Creeks.

The commission made its
recommendation reluctantly
but concluded that ‘‘in this
instance....the land use con-
tract application by All
Round Development Ltd. will
not represent a constraint on

the development of adjacent
land.”’

The aldermen noted that
Wyatt, Marshall, McAlister.
and Hicks were the only
council members present,
and the full_council should be
at the meeting as well as
representatives of the com-
mission. The matter was
tabled for one week.

‘‘The commission is con-
cerned that a_ sufficiently
comprehensive overview of
iand deveiopment above the:
Upper Levels Highway has
not been prepared against
which development propo-
sals can be measured,”’
commission chairman T.M.B
Cattell said in a letter to
council.

‘‘In the absence of this
reference framework, the
commission is apprehensive
of the proposition that
individual land development
proposals can be _ validly
considered,*’ the letter con-
tinued.

instead, nothing but praise
for the new proposal by
Grouse Mountain Resorts
Ltd. to develop the Nancy
Greene Triangle.

Grouse President John
Hoegg explained to the
gathering that the proposal
was not to build an apart-
ment complex but to develop
a low density, high-quality
area.

The company will provide
a $3.5 million dollar perfor-
mance debenture to ensure
the success of the venture.

An earlier proposal, turn-
ed down by council last year,
has been revised to conform
with council’s wishes and
includes a cutback in the
number of single family
