NO SUPPORT FOR NV CITY FROM DISTRICT

Won't protest ‘tacky little notice’

North Vancouver Distnct council has refused to support a North Van City council request to protest against a provincial government addition to this year's property tax forms.

On February 4, City

council voted to protest to the Minister of Municipal Affairs about the addition, which will inform residents how much money the provincial government has saved them.

City staff commented that

The owner of a 48 unit apartment building at 105 West Keith Road came before North Vancouver City council tast week with a request to. straufy the building which he says is in such bad shape that the turnover rate of tenants 1s up to 33 per cent a month.

T.J. Kristainsen, who owns the building known as ‘Simpson House’ said it is in “quite bad shape from top to bottom.”

He said he would have to spend about $150,000 to carry oul renovanhions which would include rebuilding the kitchens in the suites and installing a new boiler.

These renovations would mean raising the rents from the current $250 a month to in excess of $425 a month, he said.

the addition, referred to by one alderman as “a tacky little notice,” could cost “several thousand dollars.” Council also voted to send a letter to other municipalities urging them to protest to the government.

s only hope

Because the turnover rale is sO great, Kristiansen says he has no choice but to renovate the building.

A request to strauty was rejected last year because of the City’s pohecy of not allowing the stratification of existung rental units until the vacancy rate in the City reaches 3 percent

Krisuansen came belore councu to see uf they would reopen the matter.

It straufication ts nol granted, he said the building is in danger vf becoming a “no-tell motel.”

Council did not debate the matter Monday night because Alderman Gordon Cross could not find a seconder to support a move to add the subject to the agenda.

Last week Distnct council considered the request and decided not to support it.

Council felt that the addition would not cost them anything and there was no reason to protest against it.
