GLLTC – dated Oct 15/12 ADOPTED Page 2 of 13 
Ron Taylor stated that he is trying to satisfy the covenant between 
 Stevens and Galiano Island Local Trust Committee (GLLTC) and 
 requested that the Local Trust Committee (LTC) acknowledge receipt 
 of the hydrologists report and “sign off” signature, once received via 
 Resolution Without Meeting (RWM). Mr. Taylor stated support for an 
 “appropriate professional” being given authority to “sign off” on water 
 results/reports rather than specifically a hydrologist.  
 
There was some discussion regarding subdivision, proving potable 
 water, RWM and hydrologists versus engineers’ expertise.  
 
Tom Hennessy stated concern that the Galiano Land And Community 
Housing Trust (GLCHT) lease agreement, housing agreement and 
general processes are being slowed due to Islands Trust lawyers. Mr. 
Hennessy stated that GLCHT has decided that no building will take 
place on the property until the zoning process has been completed. He 
stated concern with the GLCHT application process and 
misunderstandings that have resulted in a potential applicant 
trespassing on GLCHT property. Mr. Hennessy stated that GLCHT 
has contacted a hydrologist and is pursuing related LTC resolutions.  
 
Planner Nichols responded that Islands Trust legal counsel is rather
 waiting for GLCHT to fulfill the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) 
 requested change(s) to the proposed covenant.  
 
Doug Latta stated that the GLCHT lease agreement is being amended 
 to prevent the possibility of affordable housing being used
