Given three readings at last week’s regular council i. Cree oer meeting was a bylaw authorizing the rezoning of a-portion of the lot, located about one block off Columbia Avenue north of the new Maloney Pontiac Buick GMC Ltd. garage for ‘low-rise multi-family residential’’ use. 35-unit building planned for Ash Road site Resident Harold Leslie told the hearing that the proposed apartments, combined with existing traffic near the Hi Arrow Arms Motor Hotel and in the area of a proposed $3 million, shopping centre on the Columbia Avenue 1500 block — also approved at council’s last regular meeting — wauld contribute to traffic problems. He urged council move more rapidly to solve some of the problems. The three readings of the bylaw allowing the of the three-storey building followed a public hearing at which developer Walter Borau outlined plans for the project. The 3S apartments would include three-bedroom, two- bedroom and one-bedroom units, Borau told the hearing, and exp at a cost of $26,000. He estimated rental costs at between $250 and $270 for two-bed- room apartments and from $200 to $235 for one-bedroom units. Borau told the hearing 100 per cent of parking for the units’ would be and iti parking would be supplied above ground. He added that the property behind the proposed site would be left as natural as possible as a recreation area for tenants. " Asked by resident Penny Hurd how far back the apartment building would be built, Borau said it would be located one block west of Columbia Avenue and ‘‘towards town from the bend in the road.’” He added that drainage would be installed in compliance with the city engineering staff's requirements. Responding to questions from another resident, Ken Martin, on planning for the area Ald. Jim Gouk said the land in the area of the pr at was rural. Planning Ald.

Gerald Rust, works and services committee chair- man, to accept consulting en- Bineer Gordon Leidal’s rec- ommendation that the con- tract be awarded to D.C. Festing and Sons Ltd., which made the “lowest accept- able"’ of five bids submitted. The report from Leidal said D.C. Festing, a company ‘engaged in a variety of construction work,’’ quoted a cost of $772,510 for the actual water supply project, and work, The water supply proj- ect bid was $93,000 over the estimated cost, the report said. “We are satisfied with the results, however, and note that the medium-and low-density developmi $225,309 for related road- and two-family residential zones, wit ong. area slated for Lower Mainland firm gets 997,919 contract for new feeder main tings for the supply main was completed by September, the report said. Construction of the North Castlegar feeder main -has been approved by the health ministry, the report contin- ued, and the consulting en- gineer is awaiting similar ap- provals: from CPRail, the highways ministry and Inland Natural Gas. Easements still required for the north feeder main by the city are being resolved by city staff, it said, and com- pletion is scheduled for some- time next spring, ‘depending . somewhat on winter weather conditions." Construction of a water control and treatment centre by F.J. McLeod Ltd. started during the second week of October, Leidal's report said, and substantial completion is scheduled for late November, “though this could be af- fected by deliveries of some amount"’ for all contracts to date plus this contract totals $3,409,076 compared with the preliminary estimate for the same work which totals $3,343,000,"" Leidal. said in the report. me “This apparent overrun of about 566,000 will likely be partly offset by Jower final contract prices, and the ap- proximate $400,000 in the total budget which covers in- flations and other factors."* In response to question- ing by Mayor Audrey Moore, Igor Zahynacz, assistant city works superintendent, told council the company was . Feady to start work immedi- ately on the feeder main. Outlining work on the supply main — the first stage of construction — in his monthly progress report on the new system, Leidal said installation of pipe was under- way.and construction of valve stations and connections was underway by early October.

The report said construc- tion of the Milestone Road and Meadowlark Lane reser- voirs by Goodbrand Construc- tion Ltd. started in the second week of October. Any major work on the Meadowlark Lane reservoir, it said, must await the startup and putting into service of the supply main and the water treatment cen- tre. Concluding his’ report, Leidal said application for a - funding advance from the provincial and federal govern- ments — jointly providing $4.5 million of the cost of constructing the system — has been completed. An ap- plication concerning the water treatment centre awaits con- firmation of the cost of signal transmission to the CanCel ‘ control centre.

Informed that city council — which withheld the re- gional planning portion of its annual RDCK tax requisition for five weeks — had been ordered by the municipal affairs ministry to pay up, directors approved their ex- “ecutive personnel commit- tee’s recommendation to ad- vise the City of Castlegar was entitled to the same planning benefits as other. member municipalities, City council voted in PERT VS. August to withhold the plan- + ning levy, which represents about 20 per cent of the RDCK planning budget, on the grounds that the figure was excessive. Council mem: bers also pointed out that the city budgeted about $30,000 for its own separate municipal planning department. When directed by the municipal affairs ministry to pay the planning levy, council requested more access to the RDCK planning department after voting to comply with the ministry order. Municipal planning is not included in the regional plan- ning function, which deals mainly with the needs of rural areas in the RDCK. ch famous brand names as Tan Jay, Kitten by.Glenayr and Lee Wool Blends or Suedes by Marjorie Hamilton, Pant Man, Surrey Classics, & Third Dimension. : Sizes range from Junior to Missy, including - half-sizes, ___MINOR HOCKEY SPECIALS SAVE 15% ON HOCKEY EQUIPMENT OFFER ENDS NOV. 3, 1979 Air Travel Agents for ALL AIRLINES ° ACCOMMODATIONS © RESERVATIONS Department Store © 21 Pine Street, Castlegar 0 _/ Telephone 365-778
