homes due to the postal strike.

 Defer Item No. 5 “Community Information Meeting,” No. 6 “Public Hearing,” and No. 13.1 
“Minor Project Post Public Hearing Staff Report” to a future meeting. 
By general consent, the agenda was approved as amended.

4.1 Denman Island Temporary Use Permit Review Project- Staff Report 
  The Planner summarized the staff report and highlighted the following: 
 Proposed amendments to Bylaw No. 249 are for the purpose of clarifying whether 
secondary dwellings are permitted per lot or per primary dwelling; 
 Intention is to permit secondary dwelling units on a per lot basis; 
 Limiting number of units to one per lot ensures density remains manageable and 
avoids risk of overdevelopment on larger lots; and 
 There are fourteen properties with more than one civic address and these 
properties could potentially be impacted by the bylaw. 
A member of the public stated they live on one of the fourteen properties identified and 
if the proposal goes forward it will result in only one of the three homes located within 
the R2 zone being eligible to have a secondary dwelling. They stated a preference that 
one secondary dwelling unit be allowed per primary dwelling versus per lot. 
Discussion ensued and the following comments were noted:
