The ‘total: area presently
‘occupied by West Van's
public marina; he says, is
1,82 acres, not 2,5

(apologies, Roger; BRUNCH

inadvertantly included the
narrow shaded strip of
municipal land running
‘between the site and Marine
Drive), However, this detail
doesn’t add anything to the
size of the proposed new
-boatyard, about 180 by 100
ft. (marked A on map). Mr,
Montgomery's plans show it

holding cight boats ranging -
‘from 18 ft. to 38 ft. Marina

operator Don Malcolm has
told me there's often more
than six times that number
out of the water for repair or

storage.
As well, adds Mr,
Montgomery, I didn’t in-

clude the 0.72 acre-marina
parking lot (B on = map)
immediately to the west of
the boatyard. Also true —
but the proposed new
parking lot is conceived

“primarily as a buffer zone

between the boatyard and
the millionaires’ pads; it's
not integrated with the boat-
yard and the latter's working

parking. As to the 70-odd

the present
moorages now available,
Mr. Montgomery says the
condo owners would take
only 13, so that’ in practice
nobody would be turfed out.
“Encroachment” fears, he
insists, are groundless.

If or when ILC takes up its |

option to buy, he explains
that the layout shown on the
plans could. be modified
“within ‘reason” to suit the
marina leascholder, — in-

at the boatyard end could be

blasted for greater depth, he
suggests. So far from 90 per -

cent of the existing marina

facilities disappearing,
maintains 90 ‘per cent of
them would stay.

Mr. Montgomery having |

made his case, I'll leave that
argument for the moment to
him and the boaters. The
