5.1 Mayne Island Local Trust Committee Bylaws 165, 166, 167, 168 & 169 
 
Chair Grams explained the process and structure of a Public Hearing in compliance with 
the Local Government Act.  He stated that this is an opportunity to listen to the 
community and that written submissions were to be received prior to the close of the 
hearing.  Anyone wishing to submit new information after the closure of the hearing must 
submit it to staff.  The proposed bylaws were read.   
 
Planner Richardson reviewed the earlier comments/reports and informed the public that 
the Public Hearing binder was available. 
 
Chris Rhoerig spoke to draft bylaw 167 and the commercial use of property.  There is 
concern that STVR may be operated by an off island owner and would recommend 
“contact person” be identified as a resident. 
 
Barbara Judd supported these concerns and stated being uncomfortable with contact 
person just being available by phone should there be an issue. 
 
Sid Mister requested estimates on proposed dock construction and monies needed to 
repair Miners Bay Dock. 
 
He was informed that this information is not available to the LTC and that changing 
bylaw does not address costs.  LTC is only responsible for land use. 
 
 Ted Colley spoke in support of proposed rezoning for a dock. 
 
Mary Cooper spoke strongly in support of Anson Road project and against STVRs.  Her 
concerns have been submitted to the LTC.  It is felt that STVRs would impact on others 
enjoyment of their property, have significant impact on water usage and the 
infrastructure of the island. 
 
Amanda Gunn outlined some of the economic benefits of STVRs and supported the 
Anson Road dock.
