I wholeheartedly support the Sewells

project. Having been involved in the

process from the very beginning, it

has the trademark Sewell integrity

and forward thinking that bodes well

for the future of Horseshoe Bay and it

constituents.

We have been running Scuba charters

out of Horseshoe Bay which I consider

a seaside jewel for 10 years. The

proposed development will keep the feel

of the seaside jewel, accentuating the

water environment.

I must say we feel privilege to be one

of the commercial companies located

in Horseshoe Bay with the great diving

of Howe Sound minutes away. The

increase in commercial space means

there is an opportunity for our dive

business, the additional levels of

parking will help the local business,

the mix of housing, the seaside paths

and revitalization of the marina - it justdoesnt get any better; and to think I can

live here!

This project is so wonderful; everyone

is excited. We need these homes and

the people to support the businesses;

we are doing what we can with events

like Taste of the Bay; but we need more.

Paul Merrick has utilized the existing

property in such a positive way, with

limited view impacts, and ....it just works.

Build as much as you can - it looks so

good! People can downsize, families

can move in, all of it is good. And most

important it maintains family tradition

of contributing to Horseshoe Bay and

West Vancouver. Lets get this going.

Its the awakening of Horseshoe Bay

- isnt it! What I like is you are actually

building in sympathy with the landscape.

Wonderful addition to building our

community.

The Merrick concept for the marina

property is just what the Doctor ordered.

It will bring the population back to

healthy levels, help the school system,

help the business community and I hope

create enough demand to encourage

more services, maybe a pharmacy or

perhaps even a medical lab. Horseshoe

Bay needs this project and the Sewell

site is the perfect place to build density.
