URING POLICE Week, from May
13 to 19, the West Vancouver Police
Department will introduce the Child
Indentification Program. At a display at Park
Royal North you can have taken the finger-
prints of your child which will then be given to

you.
Today’s question is:

‘“‘What do you think of
the Child Identification

Program?”’

It is a very good idea.
We don’t want to expect
the worst, but this infor-
mation might be in-
valuable to the police in
an emergency.

take them through the

BIG T SITE
City wont
change zone

A REQUEST from Big ‘‘T’’ restaurant owner to
have the zoning of his property changed from high
density residential to commercial was turned down
by North Vancouver City council Monday.

By MAUREEN CURTIS

Councif did, however,
agree to increase the max-
imum allowable density,
despite the objections of
Alderman Stella-Jo Dean.

Dean was concerned about
adding to a situation of
already high density.

“**Low density doesn’t
necessarily mean good quali-
ty development,’’ com-
mented Mayor Jack Loucks.

““We have to realize that
the City is the urban centre of
the North Shore,’’ he added.

Loucks said that he would
like to keep density down,
but one of the dangers in do-
ing this is ending up with
areas like Fullerton’ Fill,
which are valuable, but there
is difficulty in finding people
to develop them because low
density developments are less
economical.

The controversy over the
proposed rezoning of the Big
T property at 404 Lonsdale
began in August, 1980, when
a Mr. Strasman purchased
the restaurant three months
after the area designation had
been changed to high density
residential.

The restaurant is, thus, a
legally non-conforming use.
Strasman subsequently ap-
pealed to council last
December for a rezoning on
the basis that he was having
difficulty selling the property
under gts residential zoning.

‘*! Believe staff has resear-
ched the matter carefully,”
émmented Alderman John
Braithwaite.

Deputy Director of
Development and Licensing
Services, Frank Smith con-
cluded in a nine-page report
that high density residential is
still the best long term use for
the property.
