“xpand coverage of zoning

Dear Editor:

fam concerned about your one-
sided coverage of the District of
North Vancouver's proposed zon-
ing bylaws 6644 and 6645. which
deals with single-family housing.
These bylaws will affect the prop-
erty rights of every homeowner in
the district west of Lynn Creek.

Why did you not address the
issue of how these bylaws will
affect the value of building lots and
lots with small older homes on
them?

“The uncertainty: caused by hav-
ing.to apply for a variance in order
to build higher than what currently
exists will make many older prop-
-esties.in the district less salable and

“consequently tower their value.

Dear Editor: Pt
’ Ret: March. 11 News item,
“Police chase chills”
I just wanted to give some “food .
. for thoughts to those West Van citi-
zens who voiced their criticisms of”
the actions of the West Van Police.
Hf the “elderly and young moth-
ers and children,” and all other citi-
zens of your community . are
unaware that lights and sirens are

indicators’of.an emergency situa- -

tion and should get out of the way,

The final
remaining
*--“Q3 models -
priced to clear
immediately

A large number of single-family
homeowners, many of them elder-
ly, could have what may be their
only asset devalued if these bylaws
are allowed to pass.

The value of land is not in the
land itself, but what can be done
with the land. That is why zoning
has such a significant effect on
value.

! urge you to expand your cov-
erage on this issue before the public
hearing schedules for April 12, so
that all North Vancouver District
residents will be aware of these
proposed bylaws and how they
could affect the value of their prop-
erty.

Balanced piece appreciated

their daily.

In particular, | appreciated Noel
Wright's comment: “That's why
the traditional marriage contract,
comunitting a man and womun to
permanent responsibility for each
other and for the children their
union creates, has been the basic
building block of civilization since
the beginning of time.”

I would go on to say we are

» presently suffering from every pos-

sible angle in the Western World
from messing around with that

‘building block.

then perhaps a community educa-
tion program is in order. If the

: lights-and sirens did not alert peo-
; ple of- impending danger, then an
Anngcent bystander could easily”

have been mowed down and killed
by the car thieves. Congratulate
your police department for a job
well done; or give them a tangible

-alternative to apprehend speeding

drivers who won't cooperate.
