St Paul’s neighborhood , ARMED with instant snapshots and grnevances over lost views, North Vancouver District residents confronted council at a public hearing [ast week to protest rezoning of property for subdivision purposes. The land in question is proving to be a thorn in council's side, since rezoning the double-lot property on St. Paul’s could result in rezoning an entire neigh- borhood to satisfy Distnct planning policy. Currently, the entire neighborhood bounded by St. Paul's (St. Alban's, East Rockland, St. Georges) 1s zoned for single-family residences. However, not all property in the area is of equal dimensions. Some properties fall below the proposed rezoning criterion of about 50 ft. wide, while others exceed the guidelines. The problem posed for District is whether to spot zone, which deters HIGHLIGHTS of _ this week's council and school board agendas: NORTH VAN DISTRICT COUNCIL Not available at press time.

Shore agen other property holders from subdividing their land, or change the existing three- zone area to one zone (RS4). District Planner Kai Kreuchen, made it clear to council that spot zoning would cause future headaches because “‘it undermines policy and it would be difficult fur staff and council to advise people of situations which are similar in nature, and property is dealt with on an individual basis.” Kreuchen added that spot zoning is undesirable, especially in a mid-block position. He recommended that council rezone the entire area to achieve “conformity’’ in the neighborhood. However, Fred Allison, an area resident, questioned the need to rezone the property on St. Paul's since most lots in the neighborhood “already fall under = and comply with RS3 zone critena.” Appeal for sign ap- plication, 1522 Marine.

Marie Provoust voiced concerns about possible view obstructions if another house was built on the subdivided parcel. She queried council about height restrictions and they were enforced by District. Council replied there were definite height restrictions and single-family homes cannot exceed 32 feet in height.

The area is aleady out of character and now it’s going to become even more out of character.” Harry Haggard, a land- scape architect and St.Paul's resident, urged council not to allow rezoning because it would “disturb the status quo and lifestyle of an established old = neigh- borhood.” He also pointed out that further construction in the area could “disturb the vegetative growth” and cause severe drainage problems since St. Paul’s has a steep grade. Council told the delegation they would continue to examine the implications of rezoning the property and said they would return the District's proposals to the policy and planning committee for further evaluation. ights of Health accommodation.
