Apartment Accommodation Needed Here

Castlegar council members are wrest- ling with a ticklish problem this week. They are having to. decide a policy on the building of apartment blocks in the _ Village. p

Before them dre two applications: one is from a group of residents who don’t want an apartment on their street even though present zoning in that area allows such buildings; the other is from a ‘developer who wants the ban on apart- ments discarded in yet another section of the village to allow him to put one up

to carry. With a jump, in the school mill rate this year and the likelihood of suc- cessful fy ge of a regional colleg money bylaw in December (not to men- tion those sewers we voted for last year and which we're soon going to have to start paying for), our village fathers should do everything possiblé to encour- age new capital projects that’ will go on the assessment rolls.

We need first-dlass apartmént ac- commodation for Columbia’ Cellulose employees who don’t wish to build or Puy, homes because of possible moves to

Those delegates arguing ag inst a- partments at council’s meeting last week emphasized two main_ points: adjoining property values, would suffer, they say, _a3d a result’ of apartment blocks being

built while traffic and parking. probl would increase.

The strongest case put up by those : for and against apartments was put up, in this newspaper's opinion, by the pro- moter of the -a lucid, well-prepared and reasoned pre- ‘sentation he indicated point-by-point the 'need for apartment ‘4 dation in

Oak Street apartment, ih.

r here, we need it for anyone who at the present time can only ‘find one-bedroom basement ‘suites in the district and who will move to Trail or Nelson if we don’t provide proper rental accommodation for them in this com- munity.

"We can suggest just one approach

Castlegar and made an effective,” case -for his particular proposal.. He left no ‘doubt but that his apartment wag going ‘to be an asset to the’ village and, to” that : particular . area of the village, and that ‘it would harmonize with ‘present. homes ‘in the area and thus would not adversley - affect real estate. values there. ;

"We believe that Castlegar must ‘be - prepared to take advantage of the prom- ‘ising future opening up to it. We “imtist ‘be prepatéd to welconie riéw. people into the village, to, provide living accommo- dation for them, and’ to collect the addi- : tional ‘school and municipal ‘taxes watér ‘rates, water hook-up “Yeharges; ” water frontage taxes,” sewerage’ hookup “charges, sewerage user rates, etc., that “will help make the present ‘school and municipal tax loads easier for all ‘of us
