 3.1   Covenant ET016476 – Amendment 
 
          Planner Nichols provided information and stated that in general terms, 
          the purpose of the original covenant is to place additional use  
          conditions on a portion of a lot at 8395 Porlier Pass Road. He stated 
          that the covenant was registered on the parent parcel (District Lot (DL) 
          48) to regulate the industrial use of a portion of DL 48 that is now Lot 
          1, VIP83820 and zoned Forest Industrial (FI). He stated that when the 
          larger lot (Remnant (Rem) DL 48) was subsequently subdivided from 
          the smaller lot (Lot 1) the covenant remained on both parcels. Planner 
          Nichols stated that the remnant parcel is zoned Forest 1 and  
          Agriculture and therefore the covenant does not pertain to any  
          permitted uses for the lot and can be removed. He stated that the  
          covenant will remain on the smaller FI lot to which it is relevant but be 
          amended. He stated that the proposed amendments would be to  
          remove the decibel measurement requirement (paragraph 1), to add a 
          screening requirement and to amend paragraphs 1, 2 and 3.  
 
Chair Hancock invited the Trustees to ask questions. 
 
Chair Hancock invited the public to make comment. 
 
Bill Russell (418 Montague Road) stated support for the proposed 
     amendments but questioned why a screening amendment was even 
     necessary.
