LONSDALE QUAY BUILDING'S HEIGHT DEBATED

Lower high rise gets fi

THE LOWER proposed high

rise for Lonsdale Quay passed

its first official hurdle Monday when North Vancouver City
Council voted to refer developer Nat Bosa’s proposal for a
138.5 ft. building to committec.

The decision means council
essentially approves the design
which involves a 12-storey apart-
ment building that will be two feet
taller than the highest point of the
Insurance Corporation of B.C.

Firm wins $4.5m contract

NORTH VANCOUVER'S Allied
Shipbuilders Ltd. has won a $4.5
million contract to build a coastal
survey ship for Fisheries and
Oceans Canada.

Allied president Arthur
McLaren said Wednesday the con-
tract was not a particularly large
one ‘‘but it's nice. It helps keep the
yard open."

Construction of the 90-foot
vessel will employ approximately
50 workers over the 16-month con-
struction period and will generate a
further $2.2 million in business for
associated local industries.

The ship will be used for
oceanographic and hydrographic
surveys along the West Coast.

Under the contract, Allied will
also supply spare parts; special
tools, technical and instruction
manuals and testing and trials for
the vessel.

The North Vancouver shipyard
tendered the best bid from the six
firms invited to bid on the ‘con-
tract, which is the fourth ship-
construction contract the yard has
won this year.“

sharts extend to 136 feet. thus giv-
ing Bosa an extra 20 fect to play
with.

Ata Dec. 14 public hearing to
consider a proposed 20-storey high
tise, council informally indicated
to Bosa it would not support any
development on the site that ex-
ceeded the height of the ICBC
building.

Ald. Rod Clark said he thought
Bosa had met council's conditions.
“As a layman, the top of the
elevator shaft is the top of the
building to me,"’ said Clark.

The approved design allows for
100 units with three parking levels.
The building will be longer from

north to south than the original
high rise proposal, but will main-
tain a 25 foot promenade between
the apartment and ICBC. It also
provides enough space for the city
to improve the turnabout area at
the south end of the site close to
the Seabus.

Ald. Stella Jo Dean apposed the
motion saying the building should
not exceed the top of the top floor
of ICBC. Dean originally sup-
ported the 20-storey high rise that
stood 180 feet above ground,
about 50 feet higher than the cur-
rent proposal.

Ald. Frank Morris said he would
support the motion on the condi-
tion that Bosa_ not return to coun-
