The plan by Harrison-Kiss Associated Architects calls for six houses to be built on a property large enough for eight. A seventh lot would become a common property

house and access road.

Council agreed to take the

application and referred it to . the advisory planning com-

panel for “ ‘consideration and

comment.”’

Provided the application: conforms to. all existing municipal bylaws and reguia- tions (and, with a few minor revisions along the way, you

can bet your last dollar it

will), the building permits must be issued. If they’re not, West Van_ council could

' well find itself on, the receiving end of a Supreme Court injuction.

Blackburn and company, ; eG

for their part, regard: the, matter of Upper Levels development as far too important for the long-term future of West Vancouver to be the subject of a panic decision before all the up-to-date factors have been examined. This. could take at least a further three or four months. |
