TOWN HALL AND QUESTIONS Chair Peterson opened the town hall at 9:33 a.m. A member of the public expressed concerns regarding application SS-DVP-2023.8, 687 Beaver Point Road regarding the reduction of a setback from a stream that leads into Weston Lake.

Salt Spring Housing Action Program Task Force member Bryce Chapman acknowledged staff members Rob Pingle and Sarah Shugar for their excellent work. Salt Spring Island Local Trust Committee Minutes ADOPTED 2 September 14, 2023 A member of the public expressed concern that the LTC and Local Community Commission (LCC) meetings were scheduled at the same time and this makes it difficult for people who want to attend both meetings. The member of the public expressed support for Bylaw 530 and asked if staff or Trustees removed Bylaw 530 from the meeting agenda. RPM Hutton reported at the June 22, 2023 LTC meeting, the LTC requested further options on amendments to proposed Bylaw 530 and directed staff to schedule a public hearing in September. Staff were not able to prepare a report on further options on amendments to Bylaw 530 for this meeting and it is best practice for options to be received prior to a public hearing. 4.
