Barry Philbrook launched a vessel this week which he has been working upon for the past few months. Originally a life boat salvaged from the wreck of a freighter which foundered near Bamfield on the West Coast the vessel now bears little resemblance to its former self. THE REVIEW Wednesday, March 3, 1976 An expert shipwright and a man who enjoys working with wood, Philbrook put a coachroof and. housework on the lifeboat and also added a diesel engine. He and his family will use the craft as a pleasure boat. (Review staff photo). CENTRAL SAANICH FINALLY RESOLVES MOODYVILLE TRAFFIC DEBATE Central Saanich finally resolved the Moodyville traffic debate, which has been going on for some weeks, at Monday's council meeting. Recommendations made to council by local residents, mainly the reversion .of one way traffic patterns to the former two way lanes were. discussed and decided upon. last week by the Public Works Committee and voted on_ by council. _ Prompted by pleas of ‘We've got to settle this,” from Alderman Percy Lazarz, and nudged by a request from a resident to ‘‘get on with the job you were elected to do,”’ the matter was cleared from ' the agenda. Discussion was frequent and varied. on the issue that resulted from a letter, and _ petition from residents of the Moodyville area of Brentwood Bay ‘who. made six recom- mendations to council. - These motions received the. formal approval of council .this week along with the traffic control rescinding by law necessary to revert to two way. The crucial point was the “request for.reversion to a two way traffic pattern for the Stelly’s X Road, Babington ‘Lane, Harding Lane locale, an area that was recently changed to a one-way. _ After scattered debate, Alderman Lazarz, chairman of the Public Works Com- mittee eventually got council ‘to deal with the recom- mendations of the original letter, written by Nick Grabis of the Moodyville area and " signed by 28 other residents of the area, The request to remove the two.trees on Babington Lane was denied, desite the statement by _ Donald Maclaurin that “We were told the trees were a sales staff. outa tetetatebetetetet alates seebeedoresecesetesecereete: et etetefetetes 2444 BEACON AVE. hazard.’ Other council members felt this was not the case. The recommendation. of paving an additional 10-foot width of Babington met witha “not at this time’’ motion from Alderman Dave Hill, who said this could be dealt with when. the budget appropriations are made later in the year. | The suggestion that ‘no parking” signs be posted in the area was turned down, even though there had been a problem when a fire truck had recently attempted to manoeuvre the narrow street _enroute to a fire and could not get through because of parked cars." “‘They’ve gotten along for 30 years,” said Alderman Hill, and Alderman Frank Waring suggested, ‘Wait until it gets’ bad enough to do something with.” Council voted to revert to the two-way traffic pattern on the streets, but Alderman MacLaurin was opposed to this ruling. ‘‘We shouldn’t be making snap __ political decisions,” he advised. But Alderman Ray Lamont countered with the statement, “Pve always felt this council has acted on the wishes of the residents of this municipality.” The installation of a’ 10- inch drain tile along the lower portion of Stelly’s had been settled last week with coun- cil’s approval. ' And the last request on the list was to clean up the verges in the area. “It’s a matter of our own housekeeping,’’ . Superin-. _tendent of Public, Services. |.

SIDNEY, B.C. Central Saanich residents and their representatives in council will have to make some monumental decisions regarding development in that municipality as a result of an application brought before Central Saanich council this past Monday. BACM Development Cor- poration Limited made a formal presentation to council, including § slides, supplemental reports, and explanations by. BACM representatives in an attempt to convince council to grant application for extensive development of the Tod Inlet area. The land use proposed by BACM would incorporate 850 units to accomodate 2,688 people in townhouses and apartments. Council was first ap- proached by BACM in August, 1975, and requested BACM to provide a_ cost-revenue analysis of the effect of the development proposal for the Tod Inlet lands owned by the development corporation. As well, there has been slight hesitation on council’s part to grant any development ap- plications until the Com- munity Plan is finalised. As the Community Plan is in its final stages, BACM provided council with the specific information on cost- revenue analysis of the effects on municipal revenues, sewage disposal and water supply sources of the area, traffic problems and how they might be alleviated. According to the report, the cost-revenue analysis demonstrated that municipal revenues should provide an _annual surplus over costs and that the development would North Saanich Seeks Retention Of Deep Cove Wharf Two petitions were received by North Saanich council Monday night and tabled for study. . One petition, which had 18 signatures, asked council to fight the proposed demolition of the government wharf at Deep Cove. Reasons given to council were that it is ‘“‘the only public access to the waterfront at: Deep Cove and widely used as a promenade.” “SATLATHON 1976” By JACOB DOWNHAUL There was no racing on Saturday last, on account of the weather and so the af- ternoon was .spent tran- sporting two ‘‘F lying Juniors”’ from Victoria, and we have to thank Bob Whyte Marine, for the loan ofa trailer with which to do the job. The ‘Flying Juniors” are for us to look | after, and touse, and of course -the.owners.use them too. The :Sailathon takes place next Sunday, March 7th, at 0900 hrs. and finishes at 1700 i.e, eight hours, sailing, and all participants should continue to obtain sponsors, for each % hour period of sailing, i.e. toa total of 16 periods. Due to the Reconstruction work now underway, we are unable to hold this event as we had intended at the Fish Dock at the foot of Beacon Avenue, therefore it will now take place at the usual place ... off the floating barge at the seaward end of ‘‘D” dock, Van Isle Marine, Sidney all proceeds towards the Sailing Centre at Tulista Park.

GORGE ROAD EAST, ON THGIWAY TA, VICPORTA, 1G, “I’ve had all sorts of phone calls on this,’’? said Harland Clark, 10994 Madrona, one of the petitioners present at the meeting. ‘‘We could fill pages with signatures.” Council decided to contact the Department of the En- vironment, Fisheries Branch, to request that the wharf be maintained by the federal Government. The second petition, with 22 signatures, requested that a set of steps be built at the bottom of Braemar as ‘‘it is quite difficult to get to the beach.” This petition was forewarded to committee for a cost estimate and con- sideration. Concern Expressed Members attending the February meeting of the Sidney and North Saanich \ Chamber of Commerce ex- pressed concern over a federal government proposal to remove the wharf at Deep Cove. A letter will be sent to the Department of ‘the En- vironment urging that the wharf be retained. The Chamber will conduct a membership drive under the direction of Mr. Howard Rossiter. Although most, mem- berships are business firms, individuals who are interested in the development of their community may also join. Approval Given Central Saanich council gave its approval this week to Central Saanich Lion’s Club to hold the yearly Central Saanich Days events at Centennial Park. AMY re \ 4 Bane provide initial capital of ap- proximatley one million dollars by way of impost fees. The consulting engineers for the corporation concluded that itis feasible to connect the Tod Inlet devélopment to the Central Saanich sewage system and that the generating revenue would more than offset the estimated cost of additional trunk and treatment facilities. As for water supply sources in the area, locations have been identified by the con- sulting groundwater geologist employed by the firm at which wells could be drilled to suppliment the water supply. The report makes recom- mendations as to the manner in which traffic, generated by the development, could be accommodated on nearby routes. There was little discussion during the hour-long presentation, but council now has sufficient information to ponder before the matter -is brought before the Subdivision and Zoning Committee meets this Monday evening at the Municipal Hall. BACM has also undertaken to inform Central Saanich residents of their proposal by way of a public display which can be viewed daily at the Brentwood Inn from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. DEVELOPMENT COMPANY MAKES FORMAL APPLICATION REGARDING TOD INLET PROPOSAL LUNCH OR DINNER. - OUR KENTUCKY STYLE ORDER YOURS THIS WEEK SIDNEY on 5th L ‘Street | 656-5331 JUST UP FROM BEACON ST.STOP LIGHT “HARADA ei cainty : | PEN RL ONE AN, ‘THE:
