Owner Payam Askari offered to give a tour of the property, along with his family’s side of the story. This is what we saw and learned.
It’s a high-profile property, because it’s perched on the rocks at the tip of Horseshoe Bay, and generations of British Columbians have seen it as they pass by on the ferry.
The subdivision would have gone up the hillside, which seems a bit steep to develop. But Askari said, “we had experts say that was not a problem. There are houses in West Van that are on steeper slopes.” He did agree that “it would be a fantastic park. But there are other things … anyway, we’re working on it. Your article kind of spurred everybody on.”
He said his family spent a lot of money on the site, including putting in a $500,000 steel bridge. But Askari said access to the property was cut off while Westbank built its 158-unit“For six years we had no access to the property,” he said. “During those six years somehow people got there, I don’t know how, and destroyed the house with graffiti. They even damaged our brand new bridge, half-a-million-dollars new bridge.
