Bay development ‘for the people’

~The old Hydro property on
Brentwood Bay is getting .a
facelift, and residents who walk

_in.the area are the ones who will

benefit, says the manager of the
project.

- By GLENN WERKMAN

Review Staff Writer

“In the long run people will
get to appreciate it because they
will be able to walk all the way
around the bay,’’ said Mike Ab-
bott, site manager for Basia
Developments of Vancouver.

Earth moving equipment and
workers have’ been’ busy
developing parkland and
walkways on. the 18-acre loca-
tion where the old B.C. Hydro
power house was _~ between
Josephine Avenue and
Delamere Road along the coast
of Brentwood Bay.

Basia’ Developments -is_ cur-
rently waiting for final approval
from Central Saanich council to

~ start building a 125-unit hous-

ing development on the site. In
the meantime Abbott is concen-
trating on the natural areas of
the property.

‘*They don’t require a permit
to alter contours, move rock

and make other (cosmetic) —
changes,’’. commented. Al
Mackey, Central Saanich

~ municipal engineer.

‘A trail» winds through the

woods on the east side of the ~

property, crossing a stream and
small waterfalls via a new
bridge before linking up: to.a
wide promenade. that borders ©
the bay.

“It. could be as early as. mid-

“‘Actual building could start as

‘““‘We’re going to start at the
top of Wallace Drive. We’ll put
maybe 10 units in and then go
further down,’’ Abbott said.

“It will certainly take a
number of years to build it all
