A deal involving the
exchange of public
waterfront land for a
picnic area in the
woods should have
been better advertised,
says the chair of the
Waterfront Task Force.

Maureen Bragg was
relieved to find out at the Feb.
21 North Vancouver District
council meeting that the land
exchange proposal by two
waterfront: property owners
had been withdrawn. But at
the mecting, she told Mayor
Don Bell that the owners of
public land have a right to
know when such deals are
being discussed.

“What infuriates me is that
if I hadn't been on the balt |
wouldn’t have known any-
thing about it,” she said,
pointing out that the land
exchange was described in the
district’s agenda in Sunday's
North Shore News as
“Sevcove Marina
Development Issues.”

“This was net a ‘develop:
ment issue,’ this was a swap of
publicly owned waterfront
land for a clearing in the
woods,” she said. “We have
lots of clearings in the forest
in North Vancouver, but we
don’t have lots of water-
front.”

The proposal, put forth by
Seycove Marina owner Rick
Barbieri and Colin Beedie of
Panorama Drive, would have
prohibited public access to a
six-metre-wide road
allowance = adjacent — to
Barbieri’s residence at 2882
Panorama Dr. In return,
Barbieri was to provide a
cleared area above Seycove
Marina for public use and to
install a sewage pump-out sta-
tion for boaters in Deep Cove.

After hearing about the
proposal, Bragg and several
members of council went to
speak with Barbieri.

NV District councillor
Ernie Crist: a “great vic-
tory for the public.”

Coun. Ernie Crist said at
last. Monday's meeting that
Barbieri had agreed to allow
public access to the picnic area
and to install a pump-out sta-
tien, but had withdrawn his
request for a licence to occupy
the public land next to his
home. Crist described the
resulting agreement as a
“great victory tor the public.”

The district parks depart-
ment has already opened up
several road allowances for
public waterfront access along
Panorama Drive, and had

plans to open up the area in
question.

Many people in Deep
Cove have an emotional inter-
est in this property because of
its long and contentious his-
tory.

According to subdivision
law, a 20-metre-wide road
allowance must be provided
when subdivided land borders
on a body of water, at inter-
vals not greater than 200m.

The former owner of
Seyeove Marina, Mr. Kim,
requested on Oct. 25, 1995
that the public access to the
road allowance next to his
property be removed. Despite
protest by the Deep Cove
Community Association,
council agreed. The associa-
tion successfully petitioned
the provincial Ministry of
Transportation and Highways
to decline the request to elini-
inate the public right-of-way.
The 20-metre requirement,
however, was reduced to six
metres.

The former owner had also
constructed a wall, preventing
public access to the water. The
Waterfront. Task Force has
petitioned council several
times to require the owner to
remove the barrier, but it
remains.
