Dave Maude, current service provider, reviewed discussions with Bylaw 
Enforcement and questioned the interpretation of a WTS.  The definition of waste 
materials on a vehicle equating to a WTS could be applied to a number of island 
properties. There is no interest in applying for a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) 
only approval to park the truck for one night prior to taking garbage off island. 
 
Regional Planning Manager (RPM) Kojima spoke to bylaw enforcement on the 
storage of waste materials on a residential property.  Bins located at business 
sites are considered part of a commercial operation.  LTC would be responsible 
to zone land for WTS. 
 
Debra Bell cited the need for a long term solution and suggested that the MIID 
buy the property currently zoned as WTS and lease back to an operator.  It was 
questioned as to how to ensure garbage leaves island day after collection. 
 
Lee-Ann McKintuck spoke to the current service being consistent and well 
managed and questioned Islands Trust purchasing the property. 
 
RPM Kojima clarified that the LTC cannot buy or lease land however the Capital 
Regional District (CRD) can do so. 
 
Deb Foote questioned setting a precedent if exemption made for one type of 
bus
