GL LTC – dated Feb 3/14 ADOPTED Page 2 of 13 
  Sandy Moodie stated concern regarding Proposed Bylaw No. 241. He  
  commented that not permitting the sale of lumber would hurt the local  
  economy and that the required 10 metre (m) setback for sawmills is too  
  restrictive. He asked the Local Trust Committee (LTC) why they removed  
  wording related to contractor yards.   
 
Trustee Pottle responded and there was some discussion regarding the 
following: this being a complicated issue; the wording related to contractor 
yards not satisfying anyone; Advisory Planning Commission (APC) 
comments; Dave Gerlach comments; consideration of Temporary Use 
Permits (TUPs) and neighbour concerns; compliance not enforcement being 
an objective of the LTC; and following up with a review of Light Industrial (LI) 
zoning.  
 
Trustee Decario responded and there was some discussion regarding the 
following: the need for island contractors; APC comments; the issue of scale 
and the LTC being concerned with the point at which a contractor would be 
considered too big for their lot and/or neighbourhood; and following up with a 
review of Light Industrial (LI) zoning. 
 
  Dave Gerlach stated concern regarding future LTC decisions
