Mayor and Councilors
District of West Vancouver


My name is   .............   and I certify that I am a resident of West Vancouver. Thank you for your service to our community. I am writing today to let you know how I feel about the proposed development at 2452-2496 Marine Drive in Dundarave and more specifically, the proposed variance that the developer has requested.

The developer, IBI Group, has requested a zoning variance that would grant them an extra floor of residential units and allow them to build to a height of 45.1’. I strongly oppose the granting of this variance.

· The current C2 height limit per current zoning is 35.2’
· The OCP allowable maximum height is 40.1’ (if approved)
· The variance sought for the Dundarave development is 45.1’ NOT including the additional height of roof gardens, elevator overruns, stair case overruns, railings, air handling equipment etc which will increase the overall height exponentially. This is a full 10’ or more higher than the current height of the IGA

If this variance is approved, the resulting structure will destroy the charm and character of Dundarave Village. The bulk and mass of a building of this height is far too large for our small village. It will create a shadow over the entire block and is disproportionate to the rest of the village. The proposed increase in height contravenes our own zoning regulations and is far too high for this location.

I implore you not to make the same mistake in Dundarave that was made in Ambleside with the Grosvenor development. Please keep Dundarave as the charming, welcoming village it has always been and do not approve this height increase variance application.

Please vote “NO” on the proposed height variance requested for the Dundarave Village development and maintain the maximum height as defined by the current zoning and the OCP.

Yours truly,
