Crab Shop
trapped in
permit
tangle

NORTH VANCOUVER
DISTRICT COUNCIL

THE DOELARTON Crab Shop
may be forced to close if North
Vancouver District Council cannot
solve a permit and zoning problem
involving the land upon which the
shop sits.

By Martin Millerchip
Contributing Writer

Sonny and Shirley Dobay, the

owners of the longtime district
landmark, appeared before coun-
cil on Monday night to plead for
a chance to continue their Crab
Shop business in its present 2468
Dollarton Hwy. lecation.

“We just don’t know what we'll
do now if we lose this business,"
said Sonny Dobay, who wears a
pacemaker after a recent heart at-
tack and faces open heart surgery
in the new year.

Dobay said he has lived in
North Vancouver all his life and
that the business has been in the
family for almost 45 years.

The Crab Shack was formerly
located at 2817 Dollarton, but the
Dobays were forced to move the
fish shop in 1986 to make way for
a housing development.

Their present site was Icased to
them by the Vancouver Port
Corp. ‘‘so long as ‘The Crab
Shop’ and ‘‘s principals comply
with all municipal bylaws, rules
and regulations."

A temporary-use permit was
issued for the site by council in
September 1986 after a public
hearing to amend the Maplewood
Official Community Plan.

Under the Municipal Act a
temporary-use permit is valid for
two years and may be renewed
only once for a further two years.

The Dobays were reminded of
this when their permit was renew-
ed in 1989, and when the renewal
expired on Oct. 1, 1990 they were
told by planning staff that ‘‘the
use of the land should be ceased
