Loutet Park
use restricted

NORTH VANCOUVER RCMP
can now crack down on late night
drinking parties and property van-
dalism in Loutet Park, following
an increase in restrictions on park
use implemented by North Van-
couver City Council Monday
night.

“Hopefully it will give the police
more leeway in dealing with the
problem,’’ said Ald. Bill Bell.

The park, located on Rufus be-
tween 14th and 17th streets, has a
history of rowdiness and van-
dalism, and numerous complaints
have been made to the RCMP and
City Hall, according to a report
prepared by street superintendent

Gary Palmer.

The new restrictions include
posting signs advising that the park
is closed between 10 p.m. and 7
a.m. and posting parking restric-
tions at the entrance of the parking
lot.

Council also agreed to have
double-lock gates installed on the
northern road to restrict access to
cars in the evening.

Residential access would not be
adversely affected.

“It’s a very small section of
road,’’ said city engineer Chuck
Gail, ‘“‘and physically and func-
tionally there is no change’? in
daytime access.

LOWER LONSDALE

Public gives development input

which then must go through a
formal public hearing.

ABOUT 60 residents attended Monday evening's North
Vancouver City Council meeting to hear about development
policies being considered for the Lower Lonsdale area.

City Planner Richard White said
one of the purposes of the policy
was (to deal with the unlimited
height restrictions in areas of
Lower Lonsdale. ‘‘We're offering
a bit more density in exchange for
a restriction on height,’’ said

No changes to the plan will oc-
cur until the city passes a bylaw,

| to your future!

But residents at the meeting
spoke against a six-storey height
restriction.

Local resident Ed Rasmussen
said he would prefer to ‘‘keep the
buildings tall and skinny, stagger-
ing the towers and giving everyone
views."*

Ald. Bill Bell said the few people
that did speak seemed to be saying
‘they wanted to see highrises that
don't block the view rather than
low developments.""

Although no members of the
audience spoke up for limiting the
height of buildings to six stories,
Bell said petitions, phone calls and
letters received by council are an
indication that not everyone in
North Vancouver is happy with the
unlimited zoning height in Lower
Lonsdale.

Other changes proposed for the
Official Community Plan include
maintaining and enhancing public
access to the waterfront, encourag-
ing pedestrian orientation and
creating a strong and enhanced
public transport system which
might include the addition of a
third Seabus.
