ment was discovered in a bush
area near a business located in the
1000-block of Roosevelt Crescent
in North Vancouver. A_ shipping
clerk noticed the site after a car
parked there without licence plates
was towed away.

Knives and other items were
found at the site.

Said Babcock, ‘The vehicle
doesn't fit in, but certainly the
camp would. We're getting a lot
of phone calls in saying, ‘1 think I
saw him here, there and every-
where.” What we're doing is
assigning investigators to contact
these people, and if they are good
sightings hopefully we'll be able to

pin it down,”’ Babcock said. _

But he added, ‘That's kind of
secondary right now. We want to
get all of our court documents
and everything on the current
stuff. The spottings and the
time-line are part of the second-
ary thing right now."

North Vancouver RCMP Cpl.
Sheila Armstrong said anyone
who has been affected by the in-
cident should call the RCMP Vic-
tim’s Assistance Program at the
focal police detachment at 985-
1311, local 381.

“We're finding out that all
sorts of people have been affected
by this, and we’re trying to get
them the help they need,”’ said
Armstrong.

WEST VANCOUVER’S
Advisory Planning Com-
mission has raised concerns
about the underlying phi-
losophy of the Waterfront
Directions Study. :

By Maureen Curtis
Contributing Writer

in the commission’s report on
the study presented July 13 to
West Vancouver District Council,
the commission applauded the
breadth and thoroughness of the
study, which looks at the water-
front area between and including
Ambleside Park and Dundarave.

The study was completed with
input from local residents and
other interest groups and with the
assistance of municipal staff.

But the commission said the
philosophy behind the study inap-
propriately directs the scope of
changes to the present usage of
the area away from its ‘‘tradi-
tional’ role as a ‘‘natural series of
spaces for locally oriented activi-
ties.”

The commission also criticized
the study for recommending the
use of buildings and other ‘‘hard”’
elements to enhance the area,
rather than using natural land-
scaping elements that the commis-
sion feels are more acceptable to

- the public.

The commission recommended
a more natural approach to de-
velopment on the waterfront with
emphasis on smal! non-commer-
cial facilities.

The commission opposed the
development of the Ambleside-
Dundarave waterfront, which it
described as a ‘‘local treasure,”’
into a regional park that focuses
on major non-local active uses.

While noting that the study
contains an impressive number of

significant ideas, the commission

said it concluded with a more ur-
ban, organized concept than it
considers appropriate.

The commission made several
of its own recommendations, in-
cluding:

WV waterfront study
philosophy questioned

“WEST VANCOUVER
DISTRICT COUNCIL

@ a phase-out of Ambleside’s
public boat launch facility;

@ further restrictions of traffic
along Argyle Avenue between 14th
and 13th streets;

@ no new structures or size in-
crease to existing facilities;

@ maintenance of the passive
usage of the waterfront by en-
couraging active use of other
parks;

@ maintenance of access points
that are attractive but low-key;

© focus of commercial activity

away from the waterfront and.

towards the existing commercial
area;.

@ less emphasis on creating a
“powerful esthetic image’’;

@ and retaining the flavor of
John Lawson Park as an area for
young children.

As for the Dundarave area, the
zommission favored retention of
the existing children’s facilities
and parking configurations, rather
than the suggested redevelopment
of the area into a more active
commercial and regional park.

SMOKERS

Fight back at Federal and Pro-
vincial Government that keep
upping the taxes on cigarettes
& tobacco. As long as it is an
individual choice it won't be
long before they have the
price to $100 a carton.

And the only way to fight is in
a group and with your vote.

The commission recommended
that the ‘‘built enyironment”’ ap-
proach adopted in the study be
amended to be in keeping with the
“heritage of an informal natural
setting, which we perceive to be
valued by many in the communi-

ty.”

But the commission concluded
that ‘‘*much good’’ could result
from the exercise that had been
undertaken in the production of
the study, including the public
meetings, open houses, work ses-
sions and questionnaires.
