A packed gallery went
home unhappy after
last Monday night’s
North Vancouver
Council meeting as
councillors voted to
approve changes for an
affordable housing
apartment.

The project at issue is 3
15-storey, 85-unit at 123
West 15th Street.

Council later gave the
amended zoning “bylaw a
third reading and unani-
mously passed that.

Following the meeting,
Thomas Ivanore of Bel-Tar

Holdings, the developer of

the apartment complex, said
he was happy with council's
decision, but somewhat dis-
the publ by the attitude of

¢ public that was in atten-
dance.

“I'm happy with the vote,
but unhappy with the num-
ber of people that came out
misunderstanding and what I
can perceive to be a rather

poor, attitude in) general.”
Ivanore said.

“This project is owned by
the Royal Canadian I cgion,
will be developed by the
legion and will provide
affordable housing for a
number of people.

“They are providing
something more and giving
back to the community and
when people come out and
show a clear misunderstand-
ing of the proposal, it really
bothers me.”

A number of delegations
at the public hearing includ-
ed people living in adjacent
apartment complexes.

They voiced their con-
cerns over the height of the
building and the obstruction
of their view of the moun-
tains that would occur if the
apartment was built.

There was also concern
raised about the noise that a
Legion mecting room would
bring to the area.

Residents argued that

The changes that were
proposed and passed by

provide a wider exterior wall

use a method of wall con-
struction that provides supe-

initiative and I’m sorry to say

cussing this,” said Coun. Bob
Fearnley.

“We've been debating at
length on this issue for
