The lawsuit alleges that Qualicum Beach town council did not fairly consider a homeowner variance request after a home was built two feet too high.
A long-standing dispute over a waterfront Qualicum Beach home, deemed two feet too high, is now heading for the courts.
The lawsuit says city council was unreasonable or acted in bad faith when it directed staff not to issue an occupancy permit for the home that’s now been standing for close to five years. “Houses on the opposite side of the street and streets behind get full or partial water views depending on where you are, and yes, this has impacted some of the houses’ views,” said John Wood, past president of the Eaglecrest Residents’ Association.
“This is the only one that has not been built to that standard, and that includes finishing on the outside, stonework, colour and the fact that it’s overheight,” said Wood.
