THE West Vancouver Yacht Club is hoping a little more liquor will float its boat.
The club has applied to the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch to serve 50 additional thirsty patrons, prompting district council to gauge community support for the extra merriment.
Council voted unanimously to collect concerns and opinions related to the amended licence at a meeting Monday.
The Marine Drive club is expanding its clubhouse and boosting lounge space to accommodate a maximum of 222 drinkers, up from 172, necessitating an amendment to its current liquor primary licence.
Anyone who believes they would be affected by the change is encouraged to send their views to mayorandcouncil@ westvancouver.ca. Letters can also be delivered to West Vancouver's municipal hall.
Submissions will be received until April 22. Extra noise and other impacts on the community are two of LCLB's main criteria in judging an application.
Although the LCLB frequently solicits its own community input, the district was encouraged to undertake the consultation by staff in order to make sure each affected party has a voice in the conversation.
