Dear Editor:
Good for Nora Gambioli and Christine Cassidy for caring about neighbourhoods.
In addition to the issue of building huge homes that take up most of the lot, what about the problem of construction that never ends?
I live next to 2878 Bellevue Ave., where construction of this monster has been in progress for almost three years!
As I look out at that ugly site, I notice an excavator that has been piled up there for over a week, with no progress in the last three days.
I think the District of West Vancouver needs to come up with a solution to these problems — let’s start by bringing in a bylaw that sets a one-year limit when building a house.

Editor’s note:
When asked, Jeff McDonald, spokesman for the District of West Vancouver, said “a building permit is valid for 18 months. Six-month extensions can be applied for, with applicable fees. The bylaw does not limit the number of extensions that can be applied for if the work is deemed by inspectors to be continuing.”
