City bars big increas

LOCAL BARS are seeking dramatic
increases in the number cf people they
can serve.

But city council, which must ap-
prove such reqgests, is insisting on a
series of improvements to their build-
ings first.

Increased seating numbers are now
possible because of a series of
changes in regulations by the Liquor
Control and Licensing Branch.

The Terrace Inn wants to boost ex-
isting seating by 50 per cent in its

Dishes on

the move

A REZONING is in the
works at 2709 Kalum St.
on the southside for the
expected relocation of
Skeena Cablevision’s
technical operations,

The new location is
needed because Monarch
Cable is buying the cable
operation from Telemedia.

lounge and nightclub to accommedate
327 people.

The Coast Inn of the West also
wants a 50 per cent increase, allowing
a maximum 505 people in its bars, up
from the present 336.

And the Back Eddy Pub wants to
increase its seating from 65 to 98.

In each case city councillors agreed
the increased seating won't harm the
community,

But, on the advice of city planner
David Trawin, they are first demand-

ing improvements to issues such as
parking and building code breaches.

Council voted to approve the Back
Eddy request — provided the owner
make minor adjustments on issucs
such as traffic movement around the
building, -

But both the Terrace Inn and Coast
Ina of the West are short of parking
and washrooms, Trawin said, and
won't get city approval until that
changes.

“They’re very short of what they’re

es to nightclub seating

legally required to have now,” he said
of the Terrace Inn’s parking lIct.

He wants 46 more parking stalls
there. ;
Trawin noted the Terrace Inn owns
an adjacent property and have the abi-
lity to add additional parking.

The Coast also needs 38 more park-
ing spaces, he said.

And there’s a serious shortage of
washroom capacity there, he said.

The four toilets in the women’s
washroom are designed to accommo-

date 100 women in the bar, which
translates into a maximum capacity of
200 for the nightclub.

Trawin said that’s well short of the
existing licensed capacity of 336, let
alone the proposed increase to 505.

Council approved a request fram
the Bear Country Inn to designate a
section of its restaurant as a “food op-
tional area” where patrons could order
drinks without also ordering food.

The designated area would cover 10
per cent of the restaurant’s 131 seats.

In addition, moving the
satellite dishes to the new
location on Kalum St. is
expected to reduce the in-
terference the dishes pre-
sently get from adjacent
downtown buildings.

Any communications
towers to be erected at the
new site will be limited to
10 metres in height, coun-

cil decided.
' "The rezoning from ser-
vice commercial to insti-
tutional will require a pub-
lic hearing,

m Wholesale expansion
EXPANSION of the Real Canadian Wholesale Club
is underway and employing workers — including
Dylan Quinn - with local contractors. The wark is to
be completed by May and will add 16,000 square

- feet, making the building 45 per cent larger.

North Coast trims West Fraser profit

WEST FRASER made $131.5 million last
- year, down about 10 per cent from its pro-

fits in 1999,

The company reported fourth quarter
profits of $22.4 million, also down from
about $39.5 million in the same quarter of

1999,

' One reason for the drop ‘is‘that West
Fraser wrote off $19.8 million in machin-
ery at its North Coast Timber mill in
Prince Rupert at the end of the year.

“The auditors say there’s no chance of
that mill making a profit in the foresee-
able future,” said northwest regional
manager Lou Poulin.

He said the company is continuing to
look for new markets for the custom-cut
mill, since its traditional market is essen-
tially ‘dead.

A federal work-sharing program that’s
been avoiding layoffs at the mill runs out
May 12.
