The pressing . need for
recreation facilities and the
enthusiasm of 800 potential
Sidney bowlers were emphasized
in a carefully-researched - brief
presented at Sidney Council

’ Monday by George Howard, 10289
Resthaven Drive.

Howard. is a director of the
local bowling association which
supports Harry Welch, a Victoria
bowling alley owner, in efforts to
build a. $200,000 facility on Fifth
Street.

Last week, Welch ‘‘threw up his
hands”’ in frustration over what
he termed restrictive parking
requirements imposed by. this
-municipality.

Misunderstanding seems to

“involve plans for a two-storey
building while parking space is
provided for only. one-storey.
Bowling. enthusiasts say the
second floor is for members only
and not for “‘public use’’.

Sidney bylaw states that one off
street. parking space must. be
provided’ for every 150° square
feet of space used by the public.

provide a minimum of 35 stalls.
~ A lot of lip service has been
- paid in this town about recreation
but all we have. is the pool hall
and show,” protested Howard.
Acknowledging that when
S.P.A.R.A. ‘‘comes into being,
the need will be to some extent
_ alleviated,” Howard added that

BOWLING PROJECT STILL DELAYED

“By-Law Too Restrictive” Charges Bowler

MAYOR SYMPATHETIC

“considerable time will elapse
before the complex becomes a
reality — and this is the un-
derstatement of the year!"

‘After. researching — other
municipalities’ parking
requirements, Howard felt: that
Sidney’s — bylaw) was too
restrictive. ‘‘Perhaps this town
ought to wake up”’ he suggested,
urging. another talk with
developer Welch.

Although Ald. Fred Robinson
commented that the Victoria
businessman is ‘‘too stubborn to
work within framework of the
bylaw,” Council agreed to set up
a Monday. meeting. with Weich
and local’ supporters.

“We have been sympathetic

from the. start and thought ali

the problems were solved,”’
remarked Mayor Stan Dear.

COUNCIL
AGAINST
HUNTING

Central Saanich Council went
on record as being opposed ta
controlled hunting of deer and
other game on the. Peninsula,
proposed in a Review news story
by Jack Lenfesty of the Fish and

“Wildlife Department.

Mayor A.M, Galbraith ob-
served: there are already
provisions in. municipal bylaws
for the protection of farm crops
from. marauding’ animals.

Ald. Ted Clayards noted that.
one -of the . biggest: animal
problems in Central. Saanich is

caused by an over-abundance.of |
‘|. cats.; Too’ many people chose:
: these. areas as a drop-off. ground
for unwanted animals, ‘explained |
‘Clayards.

-to'be a favourite spot and there is.
