COURT HOUSE Racquet
Sports seems to believe in
the old adage, “If at first you
don't succeed. try, try
again” Unfortunately for
the company, old adages are
sometimes wrong.

The company, which owns
several recreational faciliues
on the North Shore, wanted
to build six houses an its
Lions Gate Racquet Club
property at 1185 West 26th
Street. There are two
outdoor tennis courts where
the houses would have been
buut.

But) council
recently to
rezoning bid.

The rezoning was defeated
three times in the past. twice
on ue votes, but Court
House brought it back
before council because of
the November election.

Said managing director
Terry Gnmwood in a letter
to council, “We feel the
majority of the new Council
will support our ap-
plicauion.”

But the only new council
member, Mantyn- Baker,
voted with the mayority

AME, SET, AND MATCH —
Court House-ing plan ruled out

against

And one previous sup-
porter of the rezoning.
Alderman Mary Segal, also
voted against it, because she
feared 1t would “open the
floodgates" to other
defeated applicants, who
would use the excuse of a
new council to bring their
pet projects back.

Alderman Peter Powell
and Mayor Don Bell voted
against the rezoning because
of the need for recreational

Hamersley Park |
was short lived

THE PARK commonly
known aS Emerald Park.
which was officially named
Hamersley recently by North
Vancouver City council will
now go nameless, after a
local restauranteur told
North Wancouver City
council iw would hurt his
business

A representative of Delo’s
Restaurant, which is
renovating nearby Emerald
Park Lodge. told council the
name change would cause
confusion and hurt business

for the half-miulhon dollar
project
He complained the

company had actually been
encouraged ta keep. the
name Emerald Park Lodge
by the City. which then
suddenly decided to change
the name of the park to
Hamersiey

The common name for the
park, Emeraid. was aban-
doned recently when council
decided to rename it in favor
of one of the area's early
pioneers.
