Trustees indicated they would follow up on this and invited Ms. Wilding to contact them if 
she had further comment. This topic would be discussed later in the meeting in item 
14.3. 
 
Kent Bodell expressed his concern about the Riparian Areas Regulation (RAR) 
assessment on his property. He perceived a lack of ability for the public to question their 
assessment based on fundamental information, such as slope of the land and whether it 
goes into a fish-bearing stream.  
 
Ms. Wilding recommended that Islands Trust receive input from people who have creeks 
that may be impacted by the RAR, prior to establishment of the bylaw. She suggested 
that the Madrone Report not be viewed as the only report, and that a process be put in 
place by Islands Trust to allow a second QEP opinion for public inquiries about creeks 
that are questionable, before proceeding with the bylaw. 
 
There was consensus that further discussion would continue within the context of 
agenda items dealing with the RAR.
