Hearing set
for boat shed

RESIDENTS OF a Lonsdale
Quay townhouse development
will get a second chance to
voice their opposition to a pro-
posed fireboat shelter next to
the SeaBus terminal.

NORTH VANCOUVER
CITY COUNCIL
By Bob Mackin

North Vancouver City Council
voted fast month to endorse a rec-
ommended sheltered berth for
Fireboat No. 2 at the foot of
Chesterfield Avenue.

However, residents of
Chesterfield Place fear their views
of Burrard Inlet will be ruined and
their property -values decreased.
They say they have been left out of
the process.

“We question whether all appro-
‘priate sites have been located and
properly assessed, in terms of suit-
ability, noise, environmental aspects
and public acceptance,” said Harold
Holmes, HarbourView Park strata
council chairman on Monday.

_ He suggested council hasn't
examined opportunities to situate
the fireboat near the Seven Seas

restaurant or the former Versatile
Shipyards.

Holmes said a public informa-
tion meeting was held near the
waterfront site in late August, but it
was poorly attended and no civic
planners were on hand to answer
questions.

Coun. Barbara Perrault ques-
tioned why the aluminum fireboat
has to be housed. She said the
Canadian Coast Guard's aluminum
vessels are unsheltezed.

North Vancouver City Fire and
Rescue Chief Tom Cumming said
each of the municipalities involved
agreed to shelter their fireboats,

He said the recent ice storm was
an example of why the boat should
be protected from the clements.
The decks, he said, were “solid ice.”
If an emergency happened, the
boat’s response would have been
delayed while the crew spent extra
time de-icing.

Cumming also said security,
proximity to parking and land-based
fire facilities are reasons why the
site. provided by BC Transit, is

Coun. John Braithwaite moved
for a public hearing before council
makes a final decision to go ahead
with the shelter at the location. The
resolution was carried unanimously.
