[0:00:00] Voice 5: thank you very much we'll call the meeting to order we'll acknowledge that we're meeting the
[0:00:03] Voice 5: traditional territories that go savage people um first thing on our agenda is approval of the
[0:00:09] Voice 5: agenda um does anybody have anything to add certainly not to delete could we share the
[0:00:19] Voice 8: agenda on the screen i wonder that is that possible then
[0:00:23] Voice 5: we will move on to the community
[0:00:25] Voice 5: information meeting and I believe Planner Smith is going to give us a summary.
[0:00:34] Voice 7: Thank you, Chair Mudd.
[0:00:37] Voice 7: So I might share my screen. Excellent. And I will just quickly walk
[0:00:43] Voice 7: through the staff report
[0:00:50] Voice 7: that I presented on October 20th, which more or less describes the application for trustees as
[0:00:59] Voice 7: well as the public can you see that yes
[0:01:02] Voice 2: thank you as
[0:01:08] Voice 7: was presented in october staff's thought
[0:01:13] Voice 7: resolution from the local trust committee directing staff to proceed with this application
[0:01:18] Voice 7: and to prepare job bylaws consistent with the option i'll describe in a moment here
[0:01:25] Voice 7: Here the application is to transfer 10 densities from one subject property to the other subject
[0:01:35] Voice 7: property.
[0:01:35] Voice 7: Let's turn on it to enable the donation of the portion of property, Payne Road, to the
[0:01:49] Voice 7: Nature Trust of BC.
[0:01:50] Voice 7: And so, staff recommended that the Local Trust Committee proceed, and we also agreed at that
[0:02:01] Voice 7: meeting to give the draft bylaws first reading, which the Local Trust Committee has done via
[0:02:11] Voice 7: RWM.
[0:02:12] Voice 7: And so, now we are here at the public hearing stage and community information stage.
[0:02:20] Voice 7: bridge and so uh yeah sorry sorry excuse
[0:02:25] Voice 8: me i don't know if it's true for everybody else but
[0:02:27] Voice 8: you're breaking up slightly every now and again i'm not sure if it's the headset or what i don't
[0:02:32] Voice 8: know if anybody else is having the same issue thank you i'll
[0:02:37] Voice 7: try to speak a little bit more
[0:02:38] Voice 7: into the microphone is that better yeah okay so here are the subject properties uh located on
[0:02:44] Voice 7: on Payne Road and here on Narvaez Bay Road.
[0:02:49] Voice 7: This is the Crooks property.
[0:02:51] Voice 7: This is the Bertolama property.
[0:02:53] Voice 7: The proposal is to take 10 of the 15 rural general densities
[0:02:58] Voice 7: from this property here on Payne Road
[0:03:02] Voice 7: and transfer them to the property on Narvaez Bay Road.
[0:03:06] Voice 7: And with that exchange of densities,
[0:03:09] Voice 7: a majority portion of this parcel
[0:03:13] Voice 7: parcel is then transferring to the Nature Trust and so walking through the proposal there's
[0:03:24] Voice 7: 10 densities transferred and that reduces the future density potential on the Payne Road property
[0:03:35] Voice 7: and the Norvez Bay or the Norvez Road property gains 10 World General densities through the
[0:03:44] Voice 7: rezoning from forest general to rural general in that portion of property the applicant is
[0:03:49] Voice 7: proposing a boundary adjustment to retain their portion of their homestead on the
[0:03:57] Voice 7: Narvaez or on the Payne Road property which is more or less right here two hectare portion would
[0:04:04] Voice 7: be retained by the Bertolami family to retain their homestead and so they are also applying
[0:04:12] Voice 7: applying for a boundary adjustment, which would be dealt with at time of subdivision.
[0:04:18] Voice 7: The Local Trust Committee approved the Islands Trust Policy Statement guidelines, policies
[0:04:27] Voice 7: for the application at the, in the RWMs, was found to be consistent with the OCP changes.
[0:04:37] Voice 7: changes. And option three, which was proposed above, proposes that the designation and rezoning
[0:04:47] Voice 7: change on the crooks property from forest general to rural general as the most appropriate
[0:04:55] Voice 7: mechanism to avoid other impacts to broader components of the OCP. There was groundwater
[0:05:04] Voice 7: water supply considerations proposed.
[0:05:07] Voice 7: There have been, there's been feedback through the,
[0:05:12] Voice 7: through the process of sending it to agencies.
[0:05:16] Voice 7: The CRD is in favor of the application,
[0:05:21] Voice 7: as long as there's no broader impact
[0:05:23] Voice 7: to the mile harbor, the water service area
[0:05:27] Voice 7: that's already created there.
[0:05:29] Voice 7: So it would be up to Mr. Crooks to prove water
[0:05:34] Voice 7: at time subdivisions now the previous LTC left it the water just water
[0:05:44] Voice 7: specialists did propose for potentially looking at a community water system so
[0:05:50] Voice 7: that's something the LTC could turn my mind to there's the bluffs development
[0:05:57] Voice 7: development permit area within the Bertolami property.
[0:06:02] Voice 7: So that will need to have a DP issued
[0:06:07] Voice 7: for them to get their subdivision approved
[0:06:12] Voice 7: as part of the Bluffs guidelines.
[0:06:17] Voice 7: And there's a minimum or a maximum density covenants
[0:06:21] Voice 7: on a few of the associated properties,
[0:06:23] Voice 7: which staff don't see as a significant issue
[0:06:28] Voice 7: to this application.
[0:06:30] Voice 7: So that's more or less the summary of the project
[0:06:33] Voice 7: and the agencies here have all been referred to.
[0:06:37] Voice 7: Like I said, there was one piece of feedback
[0:06:40] Voice 7: from the CRD, Integrated Water Services
[0:06:44] Voice 7: and Island Health has no objections to the proposal.
[0:06:48] Voice 7: And there was one First Nations response to the referrals
[0:06:53] Voice 7: with the Lake Couch and First Nation
[0:06:56] Voice 7: saying that they have no concerns or comments at this time.
[0:07:00] Voice 7: so uh with that i'll pass it back to you to uh chairman and uh we can proceed
[0:07:07] Voice 5: thank you very much yeah um does anybody have any questions for planter smith um
[0:07:16] Voice 7: that could be trustees as well at this time given you're new here just
[0:07:21] Voice 8: just one question
[0:07:23] Voice 8: um what about that piece of correspondence that came in should we uh put that on the
[0:07:29] Voice 8: table right now as well i
[0:07:31] Voice 7: did see that earlier and it did have one recommendation what was the
[0:07:36] Voice 7: recommendation and that if you have it um
[0:07:38] Voice 8: it was asking about why not have more densities transferred
[0:07:45] Voice 8: so that i i imagine at this stage it's too late but it's worth just saying we received it i think
[0:07:51] Voice 8: at least but over to you sorry i shouldn't try and answer the question i just thought we should
[0:07:56] Voice 8: Do you have
[0:07:57] Voice 8: it? Do you want me to find it?
[0:07:58] Voice 7: Yeah, I can find it in my email, sir.
[0:08:02] Voice 7: Let me see.
[0:08:05] Voice 4: What happens is it's part of the binder, the public hearing binder.
[0:08:10] Voice 4: So by definition, it's received because it's gone into that binder.
[0:08:14] Voice 4: and so it's for us as the local trust committee to take into account or or or comment on as we
[0:08:23] Voice 4: see fit just in the general context of um of of comment on this application so I don't think we
[0:08:31] Voice 4: need to specifically treat it unless there's something you know that jumps right out to your
[0:08:36] Voice 4: attention um i do
[0:08:40] Voice 7: have it here in front of me now yeah so it is suggesting that instead of uh only
[0:08:46] Voice 7: uh having 12 densities on uh the crooks property why not have 15 or 16 to increase
[0:08:54] Voice 7: the opportunity for more housing to be developed i mean it's ultimately up to the applicant i think
[0:09:01] Voice 7: it that's what they're proposing that's what they see as a reasonable change on their land base
[0:09:07] Voice 7: uh there's also the groundwater considerations of more more lots requires more wells or water
[0:09:15] Voice 7: access which all has a bearing on approvals and future quality of life for residents and one of
[0:09:23] Voice 7: those other important pieces so i think it's a piece of feedback you can accept and consider
[0:09:30] Voice 7: or with whatever weight you decide in your public hearing deliberations you know and following that
[0:09:37] Voice 7: decisions you be presented thank you
[0:09:43] Voice 2: um so
[0:09:48] Voice 5: any other questions from the trustees oh
[0:09:52] Voice 4: just just maybe one brief one chair which would be
[0:09:55] Voice 4: uh if perhaps um uh planner smith could just very briefly walk us through what's
[0:10:01] Voice 4: the program for today i know we have an agenda but just in his words walk us through the program
[0:10:05] Voice 4: for today what the public hearing does how the bylaws will be read and what the uh you know the
[0:10:11] Voice 4: expected hope outcome will be for today yeah
[0:10:16] Voice 7: certainly so you're having this community
[0:10:18] Voice 7: information meeting and if there's any questions by members of the public this would be their
[0:10:22] Voice 7: opportunity to ask any questions of the applicants or staff or the trustees about the application
[0:10:32] Voice 7: and any aspect of it that they have a question about.
[0:10:37] Voice 7: Following the CIM, we have a public hearing scheduled.
[0:10:41] Voice 7: This is where the local trust committee
[0:10:44] Voice 7: will have the opportunity to hear from the public
[0:10:48] Voice 7: about what their perspectives are regarding the proposal.
[0:10:53] Voice 7: It's more of a one-way dialogue
[0:10:55] Voice 7: between members of the public
[0:10:57] Voice 7: and the local trust committee.
[0:10:59] Voice 7: And once that public hearing is completed, then at that time, the trustees can accept
[0:11:06] Voice 7: no further new information from the applicant or the public regarding the application and
[0:11:12] Voice 7: any information exchange needs to only flow through staff.
[0:11:17] Voice 7: And so then after the meeting, you have a staff report presented to you in the agenda
[0:11:24] Voice 7: agenda package which provides recommendations from staff regarding moving to next steps which is
[0:11:32] Voice 7: executive committee approval so all bylaws require islands trust executive committee approval
[0:11:39] Voice 7: all land use bylaw changes and then well with respect to in this case the ocp amendment
[0:11:46] Voice 7: amendment, the OCP bylaw 136 would also be sent to the minister of municipal affairs
[0:11:57] Voice 7: who has a approval role prior to the local trust committee then having the opportunity
[0:12:03] Voice 7: to consider whether or not to adopt the bylaws and put them into statute into the bylaw regulations.
[0:12:15] Voice 7: Thank you.
[0:12:17] Voice 7: So I think unless there's any questions from the public,
[0:12:21] Voice 7: we could move to your public hearing.
[0:12:23] Voice 5: Yeah, so we have one, Priscilla Eubanks,
[0:12:26] Voice 5: I see has her hand up.
[0:12:28] Voice 5: If we want to promote her over as a panelist,
[0:12:31] Voice 5: we can attend to her question if possible.
[0:12:34] Voice 2: Hi, everybody.
[0:12:40] Voice 1: I'm really glad to have this discussion.
[0:12:42] Voice 1: It's sure better to have it in person than on video
[0:12:46] Voice 1: for those of us who are not particularly adept at this.
[0:12:50] Voice 1: and since it is a community meeting I much prefer to have them in person that said thank you I'm
[0:12:57] Voice 1: glad that I can ask the question so my question was on is it decided or is part of this application
[0:13:08] Voice 1: where the lots would go are they going up on Harris Road or are they going along Narvis Bay
[0:13:14] Voice 1: road or is that up to the applicant does that um um is that settled i think is what my question is
[0:13:23] Voice 1: is where would the 12 as i understand it is the two lots that um are allowed 10 lots coming off
[0:13:30] Voice 1: of elio's property so that's 12 lots in total do i have that correct um and the placement of the lots
[0:13:39] Voice 1: on Barry and Jerry's property, where would they be?
[0:13:45] Voice 1: Since those two public roads are vastly different
[0:13:49] Voice 1: and how to access them is very different.
[0:13:52] Voice 5: Peter Potter-Smith.
[0:13:54] Voice 5: Okay, thank you, Chair.
[0:13:56] Voice 7: Do you want me to answer that?
[0:13:57] Voice 7: Sure, I can just answer the broader part
[0:14:01] Voice 7: with respect to the transfer of densities.
[0:14:04] Voice 7: So what's happening through the rezoning process
[0:14:06] Voice 7: is that 10 densities will be transferred
[0:14:10] Voice 7: from the Burt Joe Lammy property onto the Crooks property.
[0:14:17] Voice 7: The exact layout of how those lots look
[0:14:24] Voice 7: would largely be considered at time of subdivision.
[0:14:27] Voice 7: And I'll pass it over to Mr. Crooks to speak more to that.
[0:14:32] Voice 5: You're up Mr. Crooks.
[0:14:33] Voice 6: Okay, I'd like to inform Priscilla
[0:14:36] Voice 6: this is not a subdivision application,
[0:14:38] Voice 6: application, nor is that considered at this time. This just happens to be a density transfer
[0:14:43] Voice 6: that leaves it probably on the property, and there is no plan at this time for subdivision.
[0:14:51] Voice 6: This is not a subdivision application.
[0:14:53] Voice 1: Great. Thanks for making that distinction,
[0:14:56] Voice 1: Barry. So what I understand is the possibility is being transferred, or the actuality of the
[0:15:01] Voice 1: lot possibilities is what's being transferred, and how it may be laid out is not at this time.
[0:15:08] Voice 1: So the person's comment that they thought that they should add additional lots and they should
[0:15:13] Voice 1: be on Narvis Bay Road doesn't really pertain at this time for what's being asked and hoping to
[0:15:20] Voice 1: be accomplished with this meeting.
[0:15:23] Voice 6: That's correct. It's just not effective this time.
[0:15:26] Voice 1: Okay. Thank you so much.
[0:15:29] Voice 5: Thank you. And if you'd like to lower your hand and we'll move on to Mr.
[0:15:32] Voice 2: Hutchinson, please. Now you should be able
[0:15:41] Voice 3: to hear me. Yes. Oh, good. I just wanted the
[0:15:45] Voice 3: record to show that i'm very much in favor of this proposal i think it's a win-win all
[0:15:49] Voice 3: the way around the community thank you thank
[0:15:53] Voice 5: you mr hutchinson and does anybody else have
[0:15:57] Voice 5: any questions or comments if not then we're going to move into the fun part of this which
[0:16:05] Voice 5: is the public hearing um if that's okay with everybody so what we're going to do is we're
[0:16:13] Voice 5: going to recess for the public hearing so do i believe we need a
[0:16:18] Voice 2: motion to do that
[0:16:25] Voice 2: yep just just a quick motion to to recess yeah so
[0:16:28] Voice 5: if one of the two trustees wants to make a motion
[0:16:31] Voice 5: to recess for the public hearing um
[0:16:36] Voice 4: sure i move that we recess at this time for the public hearing
[0:16:40] Voice 4: on bylaws 136 and 137. um seconded trustee i'll
[0:16:46] Voice 8: say i'll second that all
[0:16:48] Voice 5: right any discussion
[0:16:49] Voice 5: if not we'll call the question all in favor everybody's hands in the air good okay that passes
[0:16:56] Voice 5: Now we'll move on to the public hearing.
[0:16:59] Voice 5: This is a little bit more formal part of the program, so I've got many pages of scripts
[0:17:05] Voice 5: here to read, because it has to be done in a proper and legal fashion.
[0:17:10] Voice 5: So we'll start off.
[0:17:11] Voice 5: The public hearing for the proposed By-laws 136 and 137 is now open.
[0:17:16] Voice 5: I wish to welcome everybody to attendance and acknowledge that we are meeting in the
