CONSTRUCTION WILL
soon begin on a new 2]-unit
residence at 829-835 West
16th Street in North Van-
covuer City with Monday’s
council decision to reverse its
negative decision of March
12, and approve a zoning
bylaw amendment.

It was a bright moment for
Dennis Gowe of Lorjack
Qevelopments Ltd. Since last
Juné, Gowe and his architect
have met with several rejec-
tions and attempted to make
the necessary changes to ob-
tain approval.

After being turned down at
the March 12 first reading of
the amendment, Gowe felt
that all of the information
had not come out in the
public hearing. He obtained
approval from council last
week to make further
representation in order to
clear up misconceptions.

That presentation convinc-
ed Aldermen Rod Clark and
Dana Taylor to switched
their formerly negative votes.
Lorjack couldn’t win the ap-
proval of Alderman Stella Jo
Dean, however, who con
tinued to object to the high
density of a 21-unit residence
on two city lots.

The density ts just within
the city’s guidelines for densi
ty, however. There had also
been concerns about the
residence being strata ulled,
which allows for the
possibility of the units being
sold separately. Gowe cx-
plained that the Canadian
Mortgage and Housing Cor-
poration had stipulated this
so that it could, if necessary,
take back the mortgage and
sell off the units The pro-
