RESIDENTS

Plan will change

[aera]

HOMEOWNERS IN the Dufferin Avenue area of West Vancouver. are worried they’H lose ~ their quiet neighbor- hood atmosphere if a 16-home subdivision is given the go ahead by West Vancouver municipal] council.

At a public hearing Mon- day, many Dufferin Ave. residents said the plans for the development, put for- ward by Downs/Archam- bault, architects for owners Cressey Developments, are commendable.

But residents say they are concerned they’ll lose the country lane atmosphere of Duffering Ave. when the ex- pected stream of trucks and heavy equipment arrives on the scene.

A couple of owners even said they’d purchased land in the area under the assump- tion the land-adjacent to their property -could never be developed.

In an attempt to answer some of the fears expressed, Barry Downs, of Downs/Ar- chambault, said, ‘“We expect to be on board to completion of the project. As to con- struction time it’s hard to say. We expect housing needs to change within the next two years but we can’t give any firm answer as to when this project will be completed.”’

Downs added, ‘‘We feel the plans presented tonight minimize disruption of Duf- ferin Ave. We feel the two ac- cess roads off Dufferin into

the development achieve this.’’ Originally, Downs said, the plans called for

many more access roads off Dufferin.

In response to the concern about trucks up and down Dufferin during construction Don Walker, Director of Operation for West Van said, **l see no need to invoke a ban of trucks on Dufferin During the construction phase of the development. It would be impractical to force the developers to build another access road from Marine Drive to service the lots already serviced by Dut ferin.’’ Walker 1s, he admit ted, himself ai resident of Dufferin Avenue

Alderman David Finlay summed things up by saying, ‘The plans put forward arc commendable, but I've sul gota lot of work left to do on

it Council then voted to ad-

yourn the pubhe hearing until April 9.
