of Health. According: ‘to the min-
utes of 4’ March 4 meeting of that
committee, a survey: had been
sent to Dairy Ave. residents prior
to the writing of Blanco’s letter
and "residents were reluctant to
come forward with their concerns
at that time’.

Also according to the minutes,

following the receipt of Blanco’s

letter, director of engineering
Stew Christensen asked the Min-
istry of Health to “undertake a
study of the problems". And fol-
lowing that, "...it is anticipated
that the City would apply for 50%
revenue sharing with the Prov-
ince based on the findings of that
study.”

CONTINUES

The quest for affordable hous-
ing for specific segments of the
population continues. The Seniors’
Advisory Commission is in the
process of conducting a needs
survey for an apartment: complex
that would be similar to the Wil-
lows. These units would be avail-
able to seniors and disabled resi-
dents. At the same time, the
Skeena Valley Co-operative Hous-
ing Society continues to pursue
their goal of providing housing for
single parents.

This second group is in the
process of making application to
the B.C. Housing Management
Commission (BCHM(C), with a few
amendments to their initial pro-
posal, Due to federal budget cuts,
they have reduced their request
from 40 to 20 units. And their
application won't indicate a speci-
fic location for the construction of
the 20 units.

The Skeena Valley Co-opera-
tive Housing Society requested a
commitment from the city for a
long-term lease of city-owned
land. The city has said, however,
that several groups, including the
seniors, have indicated a need for
city-owned land and council is not
willing tie up land for any one

potential user.

Instead, the city has said they
will provide a "suitable" site if the
project is approved. It is believed
that this non-specific commitment
will meet the initial screening
needs of BCHMC.

IT’S ALLOWED

‘Terrace city council has
approved a Development Variance
Permit for a parcel of land at the
intersection of Munthe and North

Sparks submitted by Richard and

June Steele.

The east end of the property
has been changed to improve
traffic safety, but according to
alderman Mo Takhar construction
on the property will not alter
visibility at the intersection.
Approval of the DVP will allow
Steele to build two new homes at
4625 and 4629 Munthe with a
reduction in the allowable front
and rear yard backsets.
