Galiano Island Local Trust Committee Minutes November 7, 2016 ADOPTED Page 1 of 13 Galiano Island Local Trust Committee Minutes of Regular Meeting Date: Location: November 7, 2016 Galiano South Community Hall 141 Sturdies Bay Road, Galiano Island, BC Members Present Laura Busheikin, Chair Sandy Pottle, Local Trustee George Harris, Local Trustee Staff Present: Robert Kojima, Regional Planning Manager Kim Farris, Acting Planner 2 Colleen Doty, Recorder Others Present: Approximately 50 members of the public and no media 1. CALL TO ORDER Chair Busheikin called the meeting to order at 12:30pm. She acknowledged the meeting was being held in territory of Coast Salish First Nations. 2. APPROVAL OF AGENDA By general consent the agenda was approved as amended: - For Item 10.3, GL-TUP-2016.8 correspondence was received from Lawrence Waterfall - Item 11.1 was moved to Item #4 - All other items renumbered accordingly. 3. TOWN HALL AND QUESTIONS Chair noted the Galiano Green proposal was now post-public meeting. There was extensive discussion as to whether the Housing Agreement (HA) was subject to Public Hearing, since Bylaw No. 261 was not mentioned in Notice of Public Hearing. Regional Planning Manager (RPM) Kojima stated the HA should not be discussed as it is connected to draft bylaws No. 233 and 234 and thus difficult to differentiate. LTC can make changes to HA without reopening Public Hearing process. LTC cannot take in any comments respecting the housing rezoning application. Speakers were provided three minutes. Topics were to focus on agenda items. A D O P T E D Galiano Island Local Trust Committee Minutes November 7, 2016 ADOPTED Page 2 of 13 Bowie Keefer spoke in favour of Crystal Mountain Society’s proposal as they promote serenity and inclusiveness. He did not think their proposal would fragment the forest. Trustee Pottle thanked the Keefer’s for their successful rezoning. Sheila Anderson noted that Short Term Vacation Rental (STVR) owners are telling clients they must remove their own garbage, which has the unintended effect of pushing the problem elsewhere, leading to dumping of garbage on local businesses and organizations. She would like to see STVR owners take responsibility for garbage disposal. She was also concerned about transparency and spoke to importance of full disclosure with respect to proposals. HA needs to be fully explored as it is complex. Akasha Forest had a question about process, referring to a previous Staff Report noting that HAs are adopted by bylaw and thus subject to same process; yet draft Bylaw 261 cannot be commented on and questioned how the public can comment on Bylaw 261. RPM Kojima noted that all bylaws have to go to public hearing. Administrative bylaws don’t have a formal public process. The HA was part of the binder at the Public Hearing. LTC gave direction to staff to draft a bylaw for HA. Art Mose
