RATHER THAN see some one metre cedar rounds turned into firewood, Trevor Warrington brought them home from the
job site where he was working cutting trees. Now Trevor’s address on Mahon is hard to miss. It iook him four hours to carve

out the numbers.

Housing

project

gets go-ahead

PROMISING variety of
design, privacy, quality and
individuality, a townhouse
complex developer appeared
before North Vancouver Ci-
ty council seeking an area
rezoning.

David Birch, president of
Alpha West Developments
Ltd., a North Vancouver
company, is seeking the
rezoning of preperty at East
iith Street and St. Andrews
Avenue.

The present property zon-
ing allows for eight garden-
apartment dwellings, but a
previously proposed complex
was never. constructed. A
rezoning would be necessary
to accommodate some
changes proposed by the
developer, including the
number of bedrooms in the
complex and the height of
the roof.

Birch told council his re-
quest does not require a ma-
jor rezoning of the property.
The lot was rezoned in
August 1982 to allow the
construction of six three-
bedroom and two two-

bedroom townhouses, he
said, which were never con-
structed. In August 1985,
Alpha West purchased the
property.

“We feel we can improve
on the appearance of design,
hence the use for rezoning,"’
Birch explained.

Birch explained the pro-
ject will be similar to one
already constructed on East
Keith Road by his company.
There will be six two-
bedroom and two. three-
bedroom townhouses.

“Our criteria allows the
housing to more closely be
related to single family hous-
ing,’’ Birch said. ‘‘The point
I wish to make is that the
rezoning is merely to ac-
commodate the design
changes.” :

In answer to questions
from council members,
Birch assured them that den-
sity met with city standards
although the roof would be
over four feet higher than
already zoned, hence the re-
quest for rezoning.

Council agreed
unanimously to send the ap-
plication to the Advisory
Planning Commission for a
report.
