Islands Trust (IT)

3. TOWN HALL AND QUESTIONS 
Peter Robinson, Hedgerow Farm, spoke to the difficulty of getting workers due to lack of 
affordable housing.  While working with BC Housing in the 90’s he was involved with the 
construction of a number of units throughout the province.  Concerns of neighbours were 
addressed and after housing was in place for a few years concerns disappeared and the 
investment into the community was evident. 
Tim Mackie, Maple Drive, questioned the Housing Agreement currently before the Local Trust 
Committee (LTC) and the actual affordability based on rental scale - income.  He raised a 
number of concerns regarding development:  clearing of trees; flooding and expense of project 
to meet housing needs.

Nikko Preston, Village Bay Road, stated concerns with the site, not the project.  Issues include 
flooding, water demand, surface water flow and removal of forest cover.  Suggestion to 
distribute housing footprint.  Also questioned the required income of future tenants. 
Glen McLeod, Maple Drive, questioned impact on property values for those next to 
development as well as water impact on neighbours, both surface and ground water.  Mt. Parke 
has significant run-off – impact demonstrated on a video from storm 2021. (which was 
forwarded to LTC).  As the area is served by wells, concerns for quality and quantity of water 
with increased demand. 
Chair Rogers noted video footage would have been more helpful if available earlier. 
Lise McLeod asked what Trustees would suggest to ensure compensation/mitigation if 
wells/property is damaged by impact of project. 
Trustee Maude cited this would be outside of LTC scope. 
Trustee Dodds noted that there are multiple reports from experts.  The LTC takes advice from 
the Planner who considers all documents/reports.  There are a number of further agencies that 
monitor and manage the project:  Ministry
