Flood fears don’t stop houses

WEST VANCOUVER homeowners living along
Chairlift Road. fear flood waters will course
through their properties if a proposed housing pro-
ject above their’ neighborhood is allowed,
municipal council was told Monday.

“Drainage and erosion has
becna problem in this areaand
is a major concern for the
residents,” said a statement
contained .. a petition signed
by 32 area homeowners.

In addition, John Ken-
nedy, a neighborhood resi-
dent, told council that the
‘development above the pro-

perties could lead to traffic
problems in winter due to the
steepness of grade along the
road.

Proposal intends to develop
about 17 acres of land for
construction of 42. single
family houses.

Many residents said they
were concerned about the
narrowness of Chairlift Road
and the congestion which

could result in too many
residents in the area.
“Chairlift Road will
become too busy, noisy and
dangerous as the main access
road to accommodate 42
more families,’’ they said.

If council approves the
subdivision scheme, the peti-
tioners argued, then property
prices in the area would be
‘‘severely downgraded’’

because the new homes
would probably be rental
types.

Developers for Hollyburn
subdivision, however, replied
to residents’ concerns and ex-

plained the homes would be’

the kind owners usually
would not rent out.

Also, fears were raised
about only one main access
road to the subdivision which

could cause serious problems
inthe event of an emergency.

Flooding fears, stressed the
developers, are unfounded
because run-off control
mechanisms are included in
the subdivision design in the
form of channels leading into
large culverts,

Council carried a motion
which called for approving
the subdivision Plan.
