Up to NV councils to gauge public opinion

to us.”’

Fro:n page 1 reject the application or hold a public hearing on the issue.

Bostwick said the Spicer Street application could come before council in about one month.

Francis Caouette, North Van- couver City’s administrative coor- dinator of development services, said that while PSA approval has been granted for the pub applica- tion at the Park and Tilford site, no request for a public opinion survey has been made to the city.

“The first step is for the appli- cant to approach the city. An amendment to the zoning bylaw would then be required. Council uses that tool, along with a public hearing, to gauge public opinion,” said Caouetie

But the Neighborhood Pub Owners’ Association of B.C. is opposed to the new pubs. —

Association administrator Brenda Locke said all pub owners in North Vancouver are concerned about the four applications.

“To have four pub applications in one area is very extraordinary. It’s an unusual move,’’ said Locke. ‘‘We think we will see more of this and that is a concern

Lynnwood Inn office manager Chris Cotton said he understands that two additional applications for neighborheod pubs are pen- ding: one for the Lower Lonsdale area and one for Lynn Valley.

Cotton criticized the LCLB for continually changing the rules on pub operators.

‘The Liquor Contro! and Licensing Branch makes up regu- lations and everyone has to abide by them. But all these (proposed) pubs seem to be breaking all the tules,’’ Cotton said. ‘‘You’re not allowed to be a mile or two away from a highway and these pubs are.

“When we got our beer and wine store licence we had to pro- vide extra parking. These pubs don’t seem to have to do that. At times it doesn’t seem fair. We don’t know which rule book to follow.’””

Cotton said there are too many drinking establishments in North Vancouver already.

The directors of the proposed neighborhood pubs could not be reached for comment to press time.

NORTH VANCOUVER City and District are grappl- ing with the question of how to share the cost of building a new pelice sta- tion,

By Michael Becker News Reporter

Said North Vancouver City administrator Gerry Brewer, “There is an urgency to it. We've got to get on with it. Even though there was a change in players last year we've vot around the ques- tion of where the facility should be on the North Shore. We're together on where it goes, the question now is how to pay for in”

NORTH VAN RCMP Supt. Robert Byam... ‘‘... times have changed and we need at least

Brewer estimates that a facility more than cwice the size of the present building would cost be- tween $12 and $14 million.

The municipalities have agreed to build an expanded facility for the North Vancouver RCMP at the present station location at St. Georges Avenue between 13th and [4th streets. Property now serving as a parking lot will be used for an expanded: police building.

The police detachment is cur- rently housed in a building opened in 1962 as a courthouse and police headquarters.

Said North Vancouver _RCMP Supt. Robert Byam, ‘‘What we have here is a very basic police facility that served its purpose in its time. But times have changed and we need at least double the
