Ranoats see red over green buildin

Dear Editor:

All during the construc-
tion of the highrise at the
corner of 14th and
St. Georges my wife and 1

- have suffered in comparitive

silence in the name of ‘ prog-
ress’,

But the latest development
is simply the straw on the
back of the camel. We have
suffered, and cleaned up,
through the pile driving, the

Scared

Dear Editor:

concrete pouring and the
smoothing. We closed our
windows in all this heat to
try and keep out the noise.
We simply leered back at
workers who invaded our
privacy. We endured - but
complained - when someone
parked a two thousand
gatlon hot tar pot literally
under our window where it
sat and smoked and fumed
and stenched 24 hours a day

to go

for about three weeks. We
only called the police once -
late on a Sunday night to get
the propane heater on this
pot shut off so that we could
carry on a normal conversa-
tion. We have observed in
amazement as the 10-storey
building has grown to 14.
And two of them are four
feet oversize so in reality, it
is 15 storeys.

But the final straw has
landed. On the top storey
they have started to build the
south wall and then the
north. It consists of a panel
some ten feet high and

‘eighty feet long: of what

and it is screaming bright

there is mint green window
frames, mint green door
frames, mint green edges to
every floor. All store fronts
are framed in mint green.

The only thing missing now:

are mint green balcony rail-
ings and it won't be surpris-
ing to see them come along!

For the sake of a few’

paltry tax dollars the city
allowed this monstrosity to
be foisted on a community
and in doing so have utterly
destroyed the rental value of
50% of the apartments that
are only some 60 feet away.
The assessment of ' this
building will drop
dramatically next time
around. So what has been
gained in the name of ‘prog-
ress’? It would seem to me
to be a very short-sighted
policy to deliberately affront
citizens like ourselves. who
have been taxpayers at this
location for some seventeen
years, and who have grown

into senior citizens . while’

helping a this city of

North Vancouver, in favor
of a land developer who is
only out for what he can get
from the project.

This mad obsession with
bright green is something
that should be dealt very
firmly with immediately be-
fore it becomes embroiled in
long costly lega! hassles.

We feel that faced with
the prospect of a ten foot by

eighty foot bright green
plastic panel some sixty feet
away from our living .and
bedroom windows . con-
stitutes a definite infringe-
ment on our basic freedoms
and look to the Mayor ‘and
Council to take action to
have it stopped.
