List any political party membership(s):

nil

Do you live in West Vancouver? For how long?

Yes, 20 years.

List municipal committee and/or civic group experience:

nil

Have you sought or received campaign contributions from a union and/or developer?

no

Do you support reducing the maximum allowable house size?

Yes. Knocking down older character homes to shoehorn in large, modern houses that are disproportionate to the lot size impacts negatively upon neighbourhood character.

Should residents require permits to cut down trees on private property?

Yes, with reasonable qualifications for doing so. With the apparent demise of neighbourhood consultation courtesy between neighbours, such a step has become necessary.

Do you support a non-resident property tax levy?

Yes. If you are going to use your property as an investment vehicle, then you are taking from WV and giving nothing back.

Is the present council effectively managing growth?

I won’t say yes or no at this time, but I will say I have considerable concerns about the direction WV is headed.

What are your priorities if elected?

Preserving the qualities and attributes of WV, which is largely “why” most of us have chosen to live in WV. Severely limit development density.
