CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, Juno 23, 1977 Green Light Given Rezoning Proposal {continued from page Al) the rezoning contravenes the act's standards of safety and convenience. “The fact that there is dif- ficully about parking indicates there is a traffic problem," Moran said, “If rezoning. is al- lowed more people will be at the Raspberry Lodge during the day than in all of the other 35 homes.” “In the afternoon they're going to have up to 100 people there,” he said. “There's going to be double the number of visitors, patients and staff, It's going to be like Vancouver General Hospital.” He said Holuboff admitted having to speak to boarders about staying off the road, indi- eating the situation was already becoming “unsafe for all people concerned.” Moran criticized Holuboff for his renovation of the build- ing without a building permit, and accused him of filling the building with elderly boarders even before approval of the re- zoning. He said the proposed re- zoning also conflicted with the act’s protection of “amenities” within this zone.” “The amenity in this zone is that it is residential,” Moran said. He said allowing public zoning in the area would eventually lead to commercial zoning. “How would the Area J director (Vanderpol) like it ifa service station were built across from his home?” Moran asked. “Is he (Moran) comparing , somebody's mother with a gas | pump?” Vanderpol retorted. In his recommendation Vanderpol told the board a building of the quality of the one planned for public use would cost $100,000 or more to build today, “Those who haveever seen a Doukhobor home please tell me what sort of family could use a building of this size,” he Saldase said although Holuboft had violated zoning and build ing bylaws in remodelling the building without a permit, he had suffered financially in wait- ing six months before he could start using it. “One thing that worries me is where you are going to create a place for 15 elderly people to live in this area?” Vanderpol said. “If there is no place in the residential areas tell me where to put therm.” Vanderpo! said Holuboff had only put four elderly board- ers, the maximum acceptable under residential zoning, in the building. Human resources de- partment officials reported Raspberry Lodge provided “a decent service,” Vanderpol sald. Contacted this week, Holu- boff told the Castlegar News he has been told he ‘will receive a bullding permit “shortly”. “It’s just about ready now," he said. “It’s just a matter of getting a license.” The new building should be _ ready by the end of August, he added. Moran said this week he will recommend the Raspberry Village residents appeal the board's decision, “The board did not give proper consideration to the requirements of the Municipal Act,” he said.
