Council
gives access
to petition

A NORTH Vancouver District res-
ident who said council was ‘‘keep-
ing a secret’ from him by refusing
to disclose a petition in favor of
subdivisions on upper Mahon
Avenue will now have access to it
thanks to a = reconsideration of
municipal policy.

By EVELYN JACOB
Contrituting Writer

Ken Collyer complained at a
Feb. [5 public hearing on future
subdivisions between 3348 and
3440 Mahon Avenue that residents
who signed a petition in favor of
the plan did not know it involved
the rezoning of two blocks.

He said municipal staff would
not allow him to see the petition
and that he only wanted to verify
the wording of the document.

‘*...(council) is not following a
democratic process (by not making
the petition public),’’ Collyer said
after the hearing. “Why is the
petition being kept a seeret from
me?”

fina Mar. 3 fetter addressed to
Collyer, municipal clerk Margaret
Warwick on behalf of council
wrote, “...) wish to advise that we
have undertaken a review of our
policies and procedures and I am
now in a position to make copies
of the said petition available for
your perusal.”’

The letter also stated the petition
will be made public before a final
decision on the plan is made, and a
second public hearing scheduled
for Mar, 21 will be held so that all
concerned parties can express their
views on the proposal.

Some Mahon Avenue residents
currently own 80 foot lots. Future
subdivisions would allow them to
split their properties into 33 foot
lots, which Collyer says will
destroy the character of the
neighborhood.
