Ranoats see red over green buildin

Dear Editor:

All during the construc- tion of the highrise at the corner of 14th and St. Georges my wife and 1

- have suffered in comparitive

silence in the name of ‘ prog- ress’,

But the latest development is simply the straw on the back of the camel. We have suffered, and cleaned up, through the pile driving, the

We endured - but complained - when someone parked a two thousand gatlon hot tar pot literally under our window where it sat and smoked and fumed and stenched 24 hours a day

for about three weeks. We only called the police once - late on a Sunday night to get the propane heater on this pot shut off so that we could carry on a normal conversa- tion. We have observed in amazement as the 10-storey building has grown to 14. And two of them are four feet oversize so in reality, it is 15 storeys.

But the final straw has landed. On the top storey they have started to build the south wall and then the north. It consists of a panel some ten feet high and

there is mint green window frames, mint green door frames, mint green edges to every floor. All store fronts are framed in mint green.

The only thing missing now:

are mint green balcony rail- ings and it won't be surpris- ing to see them come along!

For the sake of a few’

paltry tax dollars the city allowed this monstrosity to be foisted on a community and in doing so have utterly destroyed the rental value of 50% of the apartments that are only some 60 feet away. The assessment of ' this building will drop dramatically next time around. So what has been gained in the name of ‘prog- ress’? It would seem to me to be a very short-sighted policy to deliberately affront citizens like ourselves. who have been taxpayers at this location for some seventeen years, and who have grown

into senior citizens . while’

helping a this city of

North Vancouver, in favor of a land developer who is only out for what he can get from the project.

This mad obsession with bright green is something that should be dealt very firmly with immediately be- fore it becomes embroiled in long costly lega! hassles.

We feel that faced with the prospect of a ten foot by

eighty foot bright green plastic panel some sixty feet away from our living .and bedroom windows . con- stitutes a definite infringe- ment on our basic freedoms and look to the Mayor ‘and Council to take action to have it stopped.
