 Work in collaboration with organizations; 
 Not against festival, against 3 days and what happens after event – 700 people enough. 
 
Planner Richardson stated that he suggested 4 days to alleviate ferry congestion, in order to 
stagger volume of people leaving the island. 
 
4. COMMUNITY INFORMATION MEETING 
 
4.1 Mayne Island Local Trust Committee Bylaw No. 171 re: Riparian Area Regulations 
 
Planner Richardson reviewed the steps taken to date.  Locations have been mapped for 
Stream Protection Enhancement Areas (SPEA).  RAR would be added to OCP.  RAR 
applies primarily when building addressing setbacks from streams.  On ARL sites, 
regulations are less restrictive and provincial regulations supersede local regulations.  
Efforts have been taken to minimize the impact on land owners and still uphold the RAR 
regulations.   
 
Ian Dow pointed out that the ditch near his cabin was not a natural waterway and is 
now non-existent. 
 
When questioned regarding status of ditches, Planner Richardson said at times ditches 
form part of the watershed. 
 
There is limited application to ALR land and fields can be drained for the purpose of 
farming. 
 
There was a review of the four biologists’ reports and findings; procedures to date and 
all information and reports are available to public. 
 
The map is as accurate as possible, as some land owners declined access to property.
