[0:03:47] Voice 4: Okay.

[0:03:51] Voice 12: okay and this of course i've made a gross assumption that uh that everyone's happy

[0:03:58] Voice 12: adding these things um so by consent we'll approve the agenda then you have no problem with that okay

[0:04:06] Voice 12: so that's approval of the agenda and so the next item is trustee reports trustees would you like to

[0:04:14] Voice 12: report out anything to the community here

[0:04:16] Voice 13: um i think i just uh i'll be brief and i'm happy

[0:04:21] Voice 13: that i am here um i've participated so far in future council meetings and uh runs out of

[0:04:28] Voice 13: gulf violence forum uh for some of you who aren't aware that selling gulf final forum is an excellent

[0:04:33] Voice 13: opportunity for trustees to meet with mla um the idea is to provide an opportunity for us to connect

[0:04:40] Voice 13: on issues at the federal and provincial level

[0:04:44] Voice 13: and see what's coming down the pipe eventually.

[0:04:49] Voice 13: Myself, I'm still getting up to speed on some things.

[0:04:52] Voice 13: So I look forward to this term.

[0:04:56] Voice 10: Thanks, Lisa.

[0:04:58] Voice 10: Yeah, glad everybody could make it.

[0:05:00] Voice 10: I was expecting a big crowd after the

[0:05:03] Voice 10: candidates meeting.

[0:05:04] Voice 10: But obviously, looking forward to getting underway

[0:05:08] Voice 10: and getting some stuff done.

[0:05:10] Voice 10: But I'm actually going to just take this time to give a shout out to one person who couldn't be here today, and that's Rose Longini.

[0:05:18] Voice 10: I've known Rose for an awful long time.

[0:05:22] Voice 10: Every once in a while, she'd invite me down to tea to explain to me why she'd be doing things.

[0:05:30] Voice 10: And I have a lot of respect for Rose, and it's a shame she couldn't be here.

[0:05:34] Voice 10: So I'm just going to give a shout out to Rose for this meeting.

[0:05:36] Voice 10: Thanks. Looking forward to getting underway.

[0:05:38] Voice 12: right thank you trustees and uh uh my chair's report i don't have a lot to report that's

[0:05:46] Voice 12: relevant per se to galliano but uh i'll just let you know i've been appointed to uh salt

[0:05:52] Voice 12: spring and hornby as well and uh had my first salt spring meeting on tuesday and uh yesterday

[0:06:01] Voice 12: Yesterday, we met with the Minister of Municipal Affairs, the Minister K, and that was a fairly cordial meeting and she seemed quite interested in, in trying to arrange more regular meetings with us so it was a good start she was only four days into her new new post as the minister so she has a lot of catching up to do.

[0:06:27] Voice 12: uh i think that's about it uh i just mentioned that i i'm gonna try and spend um a bit of time

[0:06:37] Voice 12: over this term uh here on galliano and be available in an informal way to get uh folks

[0:06:46] Voice 12: of chance to meet and chat with me and i'll try and make sure that when i when i get that figured

[0:06:52] Voice 12: out when those times are going to be that that gets out in the community so people can have that

[0:06:57] Voice 12: opportunity um so next up we have uh town hall and questions and um of course i'm sure most of

[0:07:10] Voice 12: you know that we're in a workplace here for our staff and uh and everyone should be respectful

[0:07:19] Voice 12: uh use respectful language and uh and speak to the issues and not personalities

[0:07:30] Voice 12: and uh also interest i don't know how many people are interested in speaking today

[0:07:37] Voice 12: uh c1 okay i see a few so um i see we've gone about uh 20 minutes set up so if there's a lot

[0:07:50] Voice 12: of people then then it's it's more of a time management issue than if there's only a few of you

[0:07:55] Voice 12: so if there's just a few of you today i think what i'll do is i'll offer you uh five minutes each um

[0:08:01] Voice 12: if it gets busier as we go along and there's more people that want to speak at later points then

[0:08:07] Voice 12: probably have to bring that down to a shorter period of time to give everyone a chance to

[0:08:13] Voice 12: to say something and also keep them meeting uh from taking you know inordinate uh amount of time

[0:08:21] Voice 12: so i'll just uh i'll i'll ask actually i saw your hand go up first so uh would you like to

[0:08:29] Voice 5: address the local trust committee please my name is roger pettit i live in north galliano

[0:08:35] Voice 5: on vineyard way and i'm a farmer and uh prior to this meeting i phoned my cousin

[0:08:45] Voice 5: Bob Dunlop, who you might know. I know Bob well. And check you out, he told me you're a good guy.

[0:08:56] Voice 4: So

[0:08:56] Voice 5: I just want to welcome you to Galliano and I normally sit right there so I can be in your face.

[0:09:06] Voice 5: So I've got a loud voice and I just want to make sure you can hear me.

[0:09:13] Voice 5: so anyway that said i usually am fairly respectful and uh i you know i come to a lot of these

[0:09:23] Voice 5: meetings and uh i'm involved with the fire department and mercy uh services and all sorts

[0:09:32] Voice 5: of things so you'll probably see my face from time to time so that's all i got to say i know

[0:10:04] Voice 9: GA-2022-106, which was a requested creation of new White Island by-laws on September 6th.

[0:10:15] Voice 9: I'm just asking that to be moved to the priority list as your time and workload permits.

[0:10:22] Voice 9: Basically, it was asked for the by-laws because there are other small islands, such as Gambier,

[0:10:29] Voice 9: uh official community plan again for bylaw 109 and land use bylaw 114 for passive dial which is

[0:10:36] Voice 9: what we're sort of looking at as well and we also have a small delegation of client islanders that

[0:12:26] Voice 10: the post office it's actually the honest trust

[0:12:29] Voice 10: yeah

[0:12:30] Voice 13: well

[0:12:32] Voice 10: right now we're renting room on a space off of that yes that's right

[0:12:36] Voice 10: yeah but you know in in fairness uh we have indicated to trust council or the executive

[0:12:45] Voice 10: and staff that um because of the extremely tight budget that the the honest trust has

[0:12:52] Voice 10: this year we've offered to give up the office and um and look for other arrangements for meeting

[0:13:00] Voice 10: i personally anytime somebody wants a meeting just contact him by email and we can arrange to meet

[0:13:08] Voice 10: pretty much anywhere you want so uh looking forward to that thank

[0:13:16] Voice 12: you did anyone else want

[0:13:18] Voice 12: to speak in the town hall portion here okay i'm not seeing anyone so we'll just go ahead with the

[0:13:25] Voice 12: rest of the business. Item 0.6, we have no community

[0:13:29] Voice 12: information meeting, no public hearing.

[0:13:33] Voice 12: And under Section 8 minutes,

[0:13:38] Voice 12: under 8.2, we have a

[0:13:40] Voice 12: resolutions without meeting report dated November

[0:13:44] Voice 12: 2022. Any comments or questions on that?

[0:13:49] Voice 10: No, just that was obviously to change

[0:13:53] Voice 10: the time of this meeting right the date of this meeting that's the resolution yeah there's a

[0:13:58] Voice 12: number of them in the agenda some minutes by the previous local trust committee and others for

[0:14:06] Voice 12: dates and special meeting minutes and so on i mean

[0:14:12] Voice 10: just an end for everybody um so the reason

[0:14:15] Voice 10: this meeting was delayed was we wanted to be able to work with tim and arrange our meetings just

[0:14:20] Voice 10: he's coming from the skating which is a bit of a challenge sometimes and to make sure that all our

[0:14:25] Voice 10: schedules work out so uh this the meeting schedule is posted now and uh so this was the one meeting

[0:14:31] Voice 10: that was announced for december 5th but was delayed to this day so i apologize if there's

[0:14:36] Voice 10: any inconvenience over that but we were just trying to work with the chair and make sure

[0:14:39] Voice 10: that this worked out yeah

[0:14:42] Voice 12: which i appreciate very much thank you okay so that brings us on to item

[0:14:48] Voice 12: Item 9.1 is the follow-up action list dated November 2022.

[0:14:54] Voice 12: Is there any questions or comments on that?

[0:14:57] Voice 12: It looks like all of those items were completed by the previous LTC.

[0:15:03] Voice 12: To tidy up all the loose ends for us, which I think we'd probably appreciate.

[0:15:09] Voice 12: Okay, we have no delegations listed for today.

[0:15:15] Voice 12: And so that brings us on to item 11.

[0:15:19] Voice 12: correspondence uh we have the letter from chair rogers in response to rogers communication

[0:15:28] Voice 12: press site so i will take it that we're receiving that for information

[0:15:35] Voice 8: yeah well

[0:15:38] Voice 12: we're already to the meeting break

[0:15:43] Voice 12: great uh

[0:15:49] Voice 12: okay so i i think we'll hold off on the break maybe maybe we'll want to break a little later

[0:15:54] Voice 12: We can talk about that when we get here so that brings us right into section 13, which is applications and referrals. And the first item is GL MVP 2022.5.

[0:16:10] Voice 12: Great. I hope I'm saying that correctly.

[0:16:13] Voice 12: And then the staff report and recommendation in front of us.

[0:16:17] Voice 12: trustees do you have any or staff would you like to give us any information

[0:16:22] Voice 12: capitol is going to summarize the report and i just wonder if

[0:16:27] Voice 12: excellent okay good

[0:16:30] Voice 7: afternoon chair peterson trustee gabriel and trustee maybelline um

[0:16:34] Voice 7: we've been cleaning up just for now but nice to get to work with you um so the development

[0:16:39] Voice 7: variance permit uh application that's being presented today is glodp 2022.5 which is located

[0:16:46] Voice 7: at 574 Gulf Drive and it seeks to vary Galliano Island land use byline number 127 to permit the

[0:16:54] Voice 7: existing stairs landing and deck that are shown in attachment two within the 7.5 meter setback

[0:17:00] Voice 7: from the natural boundary of the sea and the 7.5 meter setback from the rear lot line. So the

[0:17:08] Voice 7: existing stairs landing and deck are located 4.94 meters from both the natural boundary of the sea

[0:17:13] Voice 7: and the rear lot line and so this application is proceeding as a result of a potential bylaw

[0:17:18] Voice 7: contravention regarding the stairs to the foreshore that was identified in 2021 for

[0:17:22] Voice 7: deck alterations um the stairs to the foreshore have been confirmed to be pre-existing non-conforming

[0:17:27] Voice 7: and are not part of this variance application um so during the building permit for the deck

[0:17:32] Voice 7: alteration um it was determined that the access stairs and the landing which have been highlighted

[0:17:36] Voice 7: on the plans um extend beyond the previous footprint which is why the applicants are

[0:17:41] Voice 7: are applying for this development variance permit.

[0:17:44] Voice 7: So the deck is included as part of this application

[0:17:46] Voice 7: because confirmation of the date of construction

[0:17:48] Voice 7: for the deck was not provided.

[0:17:51] Voice 7: And so the variance being requested

[0:17:53] Voice 7: is to improve the safety of the stairs.

[0:17:55] Voice 7: According to the application,

[0:17:57] Voice 7: during the alteration of the deck,

[0:17:58] Voice 7: it was found that there's this soft corner

[0:18:00] Voice 7: and it consists of rubble from a previous project.

[0:18:03] Voice 7: The deck was replaced because it's unsafe

[0:18:04] Voice 7: due to age and weathering.

[0:18:06] Voice 7: And the variances being requested are relatively minor.

[0:18:10] Voice 7: deconstructing the landing would impact the safety of stairs moving or removing the existing

[0:18:14] Voice 7: structures would be unreasonably costly and time consuming um and during the notice period which

[0:18:19] Voice 7: ran from thursday november 10th 2022 to wednesday november 23rd uh 2022 only one submission was

[0:18:25] Voice 7: received and it was in support of the application and no complaints have been received from uh

[0:18:30] Voice 7: surrounding neighbors so in summary it's recommended that the proposed variants be

[0:18:34] Voice 7: to bring the existing stairs landing and decking to compliance papers and that's it thank you

[0:18:42] Voice 12: trustees any any questions or i

[0:18:45] Voice 13: feel it's really straightforward um i'd be in favor of

[0:18:49] Voice 13: recommendation okay

[0:18:52] Voice 12: uh would you would you like to start the motion and then we can have a motion

[0:18:56] Voice 12: then we can comment on the motion fantastic

[0:18:58] Voice 13: i move that the galliano local trust committee

[0:19:01] Voice 13: approved issue issuance of development variance permit application gl bbp uh two zero two two

[0:19:11] Voice 13: point five gram i'll

[0:19:13] Voice 12: second the motion excellent this motion is uh made and seconded any further

[0:19:16] Voice 12: discussion no i just

[0:19:18] Voice 10: reviewed all the documents and um i see no reason why i have to

[0:19:20] Voice 12: go over this

[0:19:22] Voice 12: okay uh i'll go ahead and call the question all in favor okay that carries

[0:19:30] Voice 13: Can I just make one correction to the staff report? There's an incorrect date on page 11, the second date.

[0:19:39] Voice 13: It says the property was purchased by the current owners in 1985 and in actual fact they purchased it in 2017.

[0:19:48] Voice 13: So if we could just correct that, I don't think it makes a difference.

[0:19:53] Voice 13: duly

[0:19:53] Voice 12: noted thanks yeah especially now since the permit's been cracked yeah and and i apologize

[0:19:58] Voice 12: for not giving you a chance to speak but it did seem fairly obvious that this could have passed

[0:20:03] Voice 12: easily yes

[0:20:04] Voice 13: um what it did and i just like to correct that one thing and there's uh my address

[0:20:10] Voice 13: is somewhere wrong in the system so if i could just give this to you in case it makes a difference

[0:20:16] Voice 13: in the future for anything.

[0:20:20] Voice 12: Okay, well, thank you trustees.

[0:20:22] Voice 12: So next up is 13.2 on page 23,

[0:20:29] Voice 12: Geo DP 20, 22.4, Kiefer.

[0:20:40] Voice 4: We'll

[0:20:41] Voice 12: look to the staff and then we will get the applicant

[0:20:45] Voice 12: if the applicant is in the room.

[0:20:47] Voice 12: Okay, I'll give you a chance to speak this time.

[0:20:49] Voice 12: i might apologize uh sure

[0:20:51] Voice 3: uh

[0:20:52] Voice 12: yeah but

[0:20:53] Voice 7: we'll we'll get the staff report first and then you have an

[0:20:56] Voice 7: opportunity to see okay um so uh we've already read out the number for this but um the property

[0:21:02] Voice 7: is located at 18 585 where they were past road and so the purpose of this application is to

[0:21:08] Voice 7: refurbish and reopen the existing building which is known as uranium as a 28 seat restaurant and

[0:21:14] Voice 7: small retail store and the subject of property is within development permit area six on commercial

[0:21:19] Voice 7: and industrial form of character.

[0:21:20] Voice 7: And so the objective of this DPA is to ensure

[0:21:24] Voice 7: that new or additional commercial or industrial uses

[0:21:26] Voice 7: are developed in a manner that is consistent with

[0:21:28] Voice 7: and enhances rural island character

[0:21:31] Voice 7: and minimizes impacts on adjacent properties.

[0:21:33] Voice 7: The requirement for this application to apply for a DP

[0:21:36] Voice 7: was triggered because it was confirmed by CRD

[0:21:39] Voice 7: and the applicant that the proposed exterior renovations

[0:21:42] Voice 7: require a building permit and the proposed patio

[0:21:44] Voice 7: and ramp and landing increase the building's footprint.

[0:21:46] Voice 7: print um so if you want more information about regarding requirements um we've run six point

[0:21:51] Voice 7: section 6.5 of the official community plan um so as part of this dp the applicant is provided

[0:21:58] Voice 7: a seating and area plan um lighting signage and bike rack plan and landscaping plan

[0:22:02] Voice 7: um and then because there's specific landscaping requirements set in that dpa6 um a security was

[0:22:09] Voice 7: required as a condition in the draft permit which is attachment four um and so uh just

[0:22:16] Voice 7: kind of in summary um the application complies with citing use and parking requirement provisions

[0:22:22] Voice 7: of the galliano island land use regulations and it substantively meets the guidelines for dpa 6

[0:22:27] Voice 7: which can be found in attachment 3 and so based on the proposal's compliance with the dpa guidelines

[0:22:33] Voice 7: and galliano island line use regulations staff recommends that the ltc approved issuance of

[0:22:38] Voice 7: um the db the development permit as per resolution on page one of the step report

[0:22:47] Voice 7: Sure,

[0:22:49] Voice 11: it's a pretty simple project. We really just want to bring back what was a much-loved

[0:22:57] property from 1968-1992, operated

[0:23:04] Voice 11: by a wonderful couple Ken and Sylvia Mountie. We just want

[0:23:09] Voice 11: to really honor what they did and service the north end of galliano try to reduce a lot of

[0:23:15] Voice 11: the driving it's such a long trip from north to south and back there's no groceries or really

[0:23:22] Voice 11: not much food service up there so we uh we really just want to bring that back and better service

[0:23:29] Voice 11: our guests in the community great

[0:23:32] Voice 10: thank you trustees any questions for staff or the applicant

[0:23:35] Voice 10: I don't have any questions. I went through the documents, and I agree. It seems to have met all the criteria, and so I'll make a motion that the Galliano Island Local Trust Committee approve issuance of development permit GLDP2022.4.

[0:23:55] Voice 12: Second. Any further discussion?

[0:23:58] Voice 13: Good luck.

[0:23:59] Voice 12: I will call. I'll call the question, and all in favor. The motion carries.

[0:24:04] Voice 12: Okay, that brings us on to 13.3 rezoning a 29.1 gigas at page 52.

[0:24:26] Voice 13: Okay,

[0:24:28] Voice 12: so you're going to recuse yourself so hopefully the minute takers got that so we'll

[0:24:35] Voice 12: We'll just give you a moment to leave the room then, which is great because it gives me a chance

[0:24:42] Voice 4: to get up to page 52.

[0:24:43] Voice 4: And

[0:25:01] Voice 12: I just want to take a moment to respect Trustee Gavreau's recusal of herself.

[0:25:07] Voice 12: It's a perfectly normal and respectable thing to do.

[0:25:12] Voice 12: So I'll go to staff for the staff report here and take it away.

[0:25:18] Voice 12: Right. So thank you. This is for the Giggers application for the affordable housing proposal.

[0:25:26] Voice 5: And we're at the last step here seeking local trust committee adoption of the two amending bylaws, bylaw number 276 and 277.

[0:25:40] Voice 5: and so the previous local trust committee had given these bylaws third reading following a

[0:25:45] Voice 5: public hearing and have sent the bylaws to executive committee of the islands trust which

[0:25:51] Voice 5: is required of all bylaws that move through the local trust committees the executive committee

[0:25:56] Voice 5: provided that approval and given that there's an ocp amendment in this case all ocp amendments

[0:26:03] Voice 12: requirements require bylaw approval by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

[0:26:07] Voice 12: And so we have received that ministerial approval and we have also now executed all of the associated

[0:26:17] Voice 12: covenants.

[0:26:18] Voice 12: So the housing agreement and the section 219 covenant that is in respect of forming character

[0:26:24] Voice 12: and provides environmental protections for development.

[0:26:26] Voice 12: They have all been executed with the land title office and are put on title.

[0:26:30] Voice 12: and so there are no other steps uh required before the local trust community can now consider whether

[0:26:38] Voice 12: to uh adopt bylaws 276 or 277 today and so that's what it's recording today and i'll leave it to you

[0:26:54] Voice 12: okay would you like to give the local trust committee any

[0:26:58] Voice 12: further information or

[0:26:59] Voice 13: no since we're post-publish oh

[0:27:02] Voice 12: of course sorry of course

[0:27:05] Voice 10: no you're not allowed

[0:27:05] Voice 10: to

[0:27:05] Voice 12: yes um trustee maverly any any questions for the

[0:27:09] Voice 10: planet uh i have no questions actually i mean

[0:27:12] Voice 10: i think this project has gone through an incredible amount of um deliberation i know it hasn't been

[0:27:19] Voice 10: easy for everybody um but you know i feel it's it's incumbent on me to just take this last step

[0:27:26] Voice 10: up and and put it through and and I look forward to seeing it under construction so on that note

[0:27:33] Voice 10: I'm going to accept the recommendations so I'll make the motion that the Galliano Island Local

[0:27:38] Voice 10: Trust Committee bylaw number 276 cited as Galliano Island official community plan number

[0:27:44] Voice 10: 108 1995 amendment number 2 2020 be adopted and I'll second that and any further discussion

[0:27:54] Voice 12: all in favor motion carries I'll

[0:28:05] Voice 10: make the motion that the galliano island local trust committee

[0:28:08] Voice 10: bylaw number 277 cited as galliano island land use bylaw number 127 1999 amendment number 2020

[0:28:17] Voice 10: be adopted and I'll second that and

[0:28:21] Voice 12: any further discussion all in favor and that motion carries

[0:28:28] Voice 12: And someone could let Lisa know she can come back in.

[0:28:35] Voice 12: And that brings us to 13.4, 2022.2, Hayes on page 189, and we have a staff report, looks

[0:28:58] Voice 12: like that's from Brad Smith again.

[0:29:03] Voice 12: the applicant is not available today but she did reach out to you to uh let you know that

[0:29:09] Voice 12: she was available to answer any questions okay this is a uh staff report presenting a rezoning

[0:29:16] Voice 12: application for a parcel

[0:29:20] Voice 5: on southern government or southern galileo island uh the proposal is to

[0:29:27] Voice 5: to amend the OCP and Land Use By-law to change

[0:29:33] Voice 12: the portion of the subject property, which

[0:29:35] Voice 12: is on page

[0:29:38] Voice 4: 191

[0:29:46] Voice 5: of your application package.

[0:29:48] Voice 5: You can see the proposed change that's occurring, shifting the boundary of the

[0:29:55] Voice 12: agriculture zones

[0:29:57] Voice 12: zones, land.

[0:30:01] Voice 5: increasing the agriculture so it's a split zone lot increasing the agriculture portion

[0:30:07] Voice 5: by 1.84 hectares and reducing the rural residential zone portion by that same amount

[0:30:14] Voice 5: with the applicant's goal of creating a new lot through subdivision if

[0:30:22] Voice 12: rezoning is successful

[0:30:23] Voice 12: to carve out the rural residential portion to essentially gift to friends to construct

[0:30:32] Voice 12: a dwelling on the property.

[0:30:34] Voice 12: It does address a few current issues on the property as well currently the setting of

[0:30:39] Voice 12: the existing house is right along the current agriculture residential zoning boundary.

[0:30:46] Voice 12: And so the rezoning would move the house completely to the agriculture zone.

[0:30:53] Voice 5: there's no increase in density that would be provided by the

[0:31:00] Voice 5: subdivision

[0:31:05] Voice 12: staffer review that it's consistent with the ocp policies

[0:31:10] Voice 12: so if the local trust committee is prepared to proceed today then the next step would be for

[0:31:15] Voice 12: staff to draft so many bylaws uh initiate first nation and agency referrals and bring those back

[0:31:23] Voice 12: to the local trust committee for consideration

[0:31:25] Voice 4: of the brief

[0:31:28] Voice 12: and leave it there and opportunity

[0:31:31] Voice 12: thank you trustees any questions for the planet any

[0:31:36] Voice 13: questions i don't seem very straightforward

[0:31:38] Voice 13: to me i mean gamer nations i

[0:31:42] Voice 10: just have one comment um and i think it's important that um you know

[0:31:47] Voice 10: before the rezoning is approved rather subdivision as that proof of water is provided right um

[0:31:55] Voice 10: then i saw comments and then report to that but i think that's a

[0:31:58] Voice 10: integral step for that right it's no point doing the rezoning and then finding out there's a can't

[0:32:03] Voice 10: you can't find water on the laundry so uh

[0:32:06] Voice 12: staff are recommending that the local trust committee

[0:32:09] Voice 12: seek proof of water and as well as demonstration of septic viability the new lot of course

[0:32:18] Voice 12: So the new lot doesn't have a well yet, so the

[0:32:22] Voice 5: other step would be to draft the terms

[0:32:28] Voice 5: of reference

[0:32:28] Voice 12: consistent with your development approval bylaw, and that terms of reference

[0:32:34] Voice 12: would spell out those specific requirements around demonstrating proof of water through

[0:32:39] Voice 12: professional hydrologists, so they would need to drill a well before resuming this

[0:32:42] Voice 12: considered for approval as well as septic which is essentially an evaluation by a separate

[0:32:48] Voice 12: professional that there is a site or location center staff would also uh would agree uh trustee

[0:32:59] Voice 12: may really let both of those things should be required prior to rezoning rather than waiting

[0:33:05] Voice 12: for subdivision steps which would be an option all

[0:33:09] Voice 10: right would one of you like to have the motion

[0:33:11] Voice 10: On that note, I'll make a motion that the Galeano Island Local Trust Committee directs that to proceed with application GLRZ2022-2 or 0.2, Hays, and prepare draft bylaws.

[0:33:24] Voice 13: Second.

[0:33:25] Voice 10: Second. Any further discussion?

[0:33:26] Voice 12: No.

[0:33:27] Voice 12: All in favor?

[0:33:29] Voice 12: Motion carries.

[0:33:31] Voice 12: And that brings us to 13.5 on page 205, which is a referral from the Maine Island Local Trust Committee for proposed bylaws 181 and 183.

[0:33:42] Voice 12: I can just briefly speak to this. So it's a trust council policy that bylaws refer to adjacent local trust committees for comment,

[0:33:54] Voice 12: consideration of whether any interests of the receiving local trust committee might be affected.

[0:34:00] Voice 12: This one was a bit moot at this point because through the passage of time, meeting scheduling and so on,

[0:34:06] Voice 12: they've actually already held a public hearing at their greeting and executive committee just approved it.

[0:34:11] Voice 11: Okay,

[0:34:12] Voice 12: but there are bylaws for affordable housing proposal on the main island, 10 units of affordable housing is being proposed, rural 10 acre per lot, the rezoning would facilitate a subdivision, one lot for affordable housing, and then two lots for the island.

[0:34:34] Voice 12: Okay, so at this point, is there any point for us to respond at all?

[0:34:40] Voice 12: No, not at all.

[0:34:41] Voice 4: We'll receive it for information.

[0:34:43] Voice 12: Okay, we'll receive that for information.

[0:34:46] Voice 12: Okay, so I'd like to just pause for a moment because I realized that I blew by the spot where I was going to recognize CRG Director Paul Brandt here and give him an opportunity to address the local trust committee and the committee members that are here if he so wishes.

[0:35:03] Voice 12: Why, thank you, Vice

[0:35:04] Voice 12: Chair Peterson.

[0:35:06] Voice 12: So I'm just here basically to get more of a feel for Galeano Island, and also to acknowledge

[0:35:12] Voice 12: that the Capital Region District and the Islands Press have to work together a lot better than

[0:35:16] Voice 12: they have.

[0:35:17] Voice 12: So it's going to be my intention to try to do that.

[0:35:20] Voice 12: It will be my intention to do that, no matter what.

[0:35:22] Voice 12: And that we spend a lot of time, as much time as I can, on Galeano Island, because I represent

[0:35:28] Voice 11: Galeano Island for the CRD.

[0:35:30] Voice 11: So, you ready? Cheers.

[0:35:34] Voice 12: Thank you, Mr. Frank.

[0:35:37] Voice 12: That brings us to item 14.1 on page 216.

[0:35:45] Voice 12: And I believe we have Planner Chadwick online.

[0:35:51] Voice 1: Thank you, Chair Peterson. Can everybody hear me?

[0:35:56] Voice 1: Yeah, all good? Okay.

[0:35:57] Voice 1: Okay. Yeah. So the purpose really here is to kind of orient you a little bit to the project, give you a bit of an overview of the groundwater sustainability implementation project.

[0:36:13] Voice 1: project. There are draft bylaws, a land use bylaw amendment, and an OCP bylaw amendment,

[0:36:26] Voice 1: and the OCP includes a development permit area. So a lot of focus towards the end of

[0:36:33] Voice 1: term was around the development permit area, discussing boundaries related to that. So

[0:36:42] Voice 1: that was um a big a big focus for community discussion and um and and like i said in addition

[0:36:51] Voice 1: there are some land use bylaw uh amendments so i just wanted to sort of walk you through

[0:36:55] Voice 1: what those amendments are the um at the uh the previous ltc endorsed those bylaws and um the

[0:37:05] Voice 1: recommend and they they had um they had passed a resolution to move them to first reading at the

[0:37:13] Voice 1: next ltc meeting but staff are recommending that a little bit of time um that there's a little bit

[0:37:19] Voice 1: of time for uh new trustees to sort of understand the project in addition to that we're doing a bit

[0:37:24] Voice 1: of additional work on um on the subdivision uh the water requirements um bylaw in the ltc so

[0:37:33] Voice 1: So I'm just going to walk you through what's in the bylaws.

[0:37:39] Voice 1: So we'll focus on the land use bylaw first because that's a bit more straightforward.

[0:37:46] Voice 1: So the bylaw number 284, that's the amendments to the land use bylaw.

[0:37:52] Voice 1: So it includes some new definitions just to sort of modernize the language and make it

[0:38:01] Voice 1: more aligned with the work that we've been doing. I will note that this work is sort of the next

[0:38:09] Voice 1: step of some detailed science data and mapping work that had started in 2019. So this is all

[0:38:21] Voice 1: the opportunity to implement what we've learned. The amendments to the land use bylaw are not

[0:38:30] Voice 1: specifically related to the mapping, but they do speak to interest in addressing freshwater

[0:38:38] Voice 1: sustainability. So in addition to new definitions, we've got a system requirements for all builds

[0:38:46] Voice 1: and an increase in the size of cisterns for secondary suites so that's already in the bylaw

[0:38:51] Voice 1: to 18,000 liters and that number that number was sort of identified after speaking to

[0:39:00] Voice 1: like a number of architects and builders that are you know working on on properties in in the Gulf

[0:39:08] Voice 1: Islands in addition to looking at the sizes of cistern sizes and what's actually available so

[0:39:14] Voice 1: So we came up with a number that made sense with respect to a number of different elements.

[0:39:21] Voice 1: And so that requirement is for, like right now, the bylaw reads with respect to cisterns that cisterns are for rainwater catchment.

[0:39:33] Voice 1: But we've opened up the language to freshwater because cisterns could also be used to retain groundwater.

[0:39:39] Voice 1: water um and then we've updated regulations related to proof of water for subdivision

[0:39:47] Voice 1: um sort of more aligning it with um provincial legislation and um and looking sort of in at some

[0:39:55] Voice 1: of the details that were previously in there and and updating them um now that had been

[0:40:00] Voice 1: part of a lot of larger project we've learned from uh um the subdivision bylaws that were

[0:40:08] Voice 1: drafted for salt spring island so they've been reviewed by provincial staff and internally

[0:40:13] Voice 1: there's a there's a few elements of of that particular piece of this amendment that we're

[0:40:18] Voice 1: um we're just digging in a little bit further because we really want to make sure that uh

[0:40:23] Voice 1: that everything that we get everything um you know really really uh really right and uh so there's a

[0:40:28] Voice 1: there was a couple of elements that we're we're looking at a little bit further but we'll have

[0:40:32] Voice 1: that kind of figured out by um by the next ltc meeting um i'll i'll point out that um there

[0:40:40] Voice 1: there were some some interests and concerns related to the the fact that the the cane

[0:40:47] Voice 1: peninsula is identified as a critical groundwater area in terms of um vulnerability and um addressing

[0:40:56] Voice 1: addressing specifically that area will be will require sort of more focused attention so that's

[0:41:04] Voice 1: not part of of what's being presented at the moment but it can be another part of this this

[0:41:12] Voice 1: project so looking at the OCP again we've made some changes to to language just to align it with

[0:41:21] Voice 1: with where we are at, sort of modernize it.

[0:41:25] Voice 1: There's some updates to policies and objectives,

[0:41:29] Voice 1: again, with respect to facilitating consistency

[0:41:33] Voice 1: with language in general,

[0:41:37] Voice 1: and then also with the new groundwater recharge

[0:41:39] Voice 1: development permit area.

[0:41:41] Voice 1: So that's the big significant part of this OCP amendment.

[0:41:46] Voice 1: So what the groundwater protection DPA does is it essentially, it's been, what it does is it identifies an area where it doesn't prohibit development, but if you do want to go and develop, then there's a process that one would have to go through to ensure that the impact to the groundwater is minimal.

[0:42:17] Voice 1: and the development permit area regulation or the policy includes a number of exemptions and

[0:42:30] Voice 1: so those exemptions they range from things such as clustering if development is clustered there's a

[0:42:42] Voice 1: and the potential event could be an exemption,

[0:42:47] Voice 1: forestry practices, agriculture practices.

[0:42:51] Voice 1: There's some details around sizes of trees

[0:42:53] Voice 1: and what can be cut and that sort of thing.

[0:42:57] Voice 1: Now, a lot of the focus discussion

[0:43:01] Voice 1: was really on the boundaries themselves.

[0:43:04] Voice 1: And so that's where we use the mapping information

[0:43:08] Voice 1: that was based on some very detailed data collection.

[0:43:13] Voice 1: And so the mapping, as I indicated in the staff report,

[0:43:19] Voice 1: we do have a detailed, there's a methodology paper

[0:43:23] Voice 1: that was created, drafted by our senior

[0:43:28] Voice 1: freshwater specialist, William Sholba.

[0:43:30] Voice 1: And so if you want to go in and get details

[0:43:35] Voice 1: on the methodology that is available to you but in general the steps this the methodology included

[0:43:42] Voice 1: looking at the recharge potential data and then identifying areas that were

[0:43:53] Voice 1: critical so this is the work that William did for us and then looking at the critical areas

[0:44:00] Voice 1: is in relationship to parcels of land on Galliano Island.

[0:44:06] Voice 1: And then making a decision about which parcels

[0:44:10] Voice 1: could be included in a DPA.

[0:44:12] Voice 1: And so this decision

[0:44:15] Voice 1: includes looking at different scenarios.

[0:44:17] Voice 1: So we have scenarios that include,

[0:44:22] Voice 1: so we identified four different scenarios

[0:44:24] Voice 1: and the scenarios basically looked at the amount

[0:44:31] Voice 1: the amount of coverage on a lot.

[0:44:34] Voice 1: So if a lot, so the range was from four to 20,

[0:44:39] Voice 1: so we had scenarios that looked at four hectares

[0:44:43] Voice 1: of coverage on a lot.

[0:44:44] Voice 1: So four hectares of critical aquifer,

[0:44:48] Voice 1: coverage of critical aquifer on a lot

[0:44:52] Voice 1: or to all the way up to 20.

[0:44:54] Voice 1: And so there's, so in the two hectare scenario,

[0:44:59] Voice 1: you would have quite a lot of lots are included in that scenario

[0:45:05] Voice 1: because you'd have lots that were smaller than five hectares, for example,

[0:45:10] Voice 1: because in order to have five hectares of coverage,

[0:45:13] Voice 1: you'd have to have at least five hectares of land.

[0:45:15] Voice 1: So on the map in the staff report, you can see for the two-hectare example,

[0:45:21] Voice 1: it covers quite a large portion of the island.

[0:45:25] Voice 1: And as we go down to five, 10 and 20, the amount of lots that are included is reduced.

[0:45:33] Voice 1: So after community conversation that was held in, if I remember, it was June or July, the

[0:45:47] Voice 1: trustees endorsed the five hectare coverage option.

[0:45:53] Voice 1: option. So in that case, all of the lots that have at least five hectares of coverage of what

[0:46:00] Voice 1: we're calling critical aquifer recharge area would be within the DPA area. Now, this would exclude

[0:46:09] Voice 1: parks and protected areas. So it excludes parks because they're not subject or provincial and

[0:46:16] Voice 1: federal parks because they're not subject to local government regulations. It would exclude

[0:46:22] Voice 1: include land for conservation because in in in those cases there would uh there would be a covenant

[0:46:26] Voice 1: um that would address um um protection and um uh local government parks are also exempt from from

[0:46:38] Voice 1: the DPA so that's the basic methodology we used um I'm I'm I'm I'll welcome your questions um and

[0:46:50] Voice 1: And just before that, I'll just identify what some of the alternatives to the recommendation are.

[0:46:56] Voice 1: So the recommendation in the staff report is to move to first reading and public hearing at the next LTC meeting.

[0:47:07] Voice 1: meeting. But the two alternatives that we've identified include having a special meeting with

[0:47:19] Voice 1: the LTC to sort of dive into it a little bit more, have some discussion, ask more questions.

[0:47:25] Voice 1: You know, both I and William can be available. And that would be sort of a more focused meeting,

[0:47:32] Voice 1: potentially with a small amount of people.

[0:47:35] Voice 1: The other option would be to have a larger community meeting

[0:47:41] Voice 1: so more open meeting.

[0:47:47] Voice 1: So there's the rundown and the alternatives

[0:47:51] Voice 1: and I'll pass it back over to you for questions.

[0:47:59] Voice 4: Thank you, Planner

[0:48:00] Voice 10: Chadwick. Questions for the Planner?

[0:48:04] Voice 10: I just got a couple. So the mapping work, the timeline, like the mapping work is completed?

[0:48:10] Voice 1: Yes.

[0:48:10] Voice 10: That you're referring to?

[0:48:12] Voice 10: Yeah,

[0:48:12] Voice 1: the mapping work that we're using, it was completed last year, I believe.

[0:48:17] Voice 10: Okay. And just, I think, because I think there's some confusion sometimes in the community on exemptions,

[0:48:28] Voice 10: noted and I think I sent you this note in regards to the agricultural land reserve and the PMFL

[0:48:34] Voice 10: we make reference to the section in the in the act but I think it would be important to include

[0:48:40] Voice 10: those sections in full just so the public understands that the the amount of land that

[0:48:49] Voice 10: exists on this island is actually quite a bit bigger than maybe they think it is right oh yeah

[0:48:54] Voice 1: Yeah. So would you like that to be identified on the maps, which areas we're referring to that are exempt?

[0:49:00] Voice 10: Yes, I

[0:49:00] Voice 1: think so. I think

[0:49:01] Voice 10: that's what I'm asking.

[0:49:02] Voice 1: Okay. Yeah, we could do that. Yeah.

[0:49:03] Voice 10: Just for, you know, when we go to the public, that they have a clearer understanding of what the, what

[0:49:10] Voice 11: we're

[0:49:11] Voice 10: trying to accomplish

[0:49:12] Voice 11: here and what the exemptions are.

[0:49:17] Voice 11: Any further questions?

[0:49:21] Voice 13: No, not really. I think there's been a lot of community complications so far at this point.

[0:49:25] Voice 13: from up the work uh first week okay

[0:49:30] Voice 12: do you like me a motion yeah go ahead

[0:49:36] Voice 13: ah i recommend uh i moved at the galliano local trust committee uh bylaw number uh 283 cited as

[0:49:45] Voice 13: a galliano island official community plan bylaw number 108 1995 amendment number one 2022 and the

[0:49:55] Voice 13: The Galliano Local Trust Committee By-law number 284,

[0:49:59] Voice 13: cited as Galliano Island Land Use By-law number 127, 1999.

[0:50:07] Voice 13: Amendment number one, 2022,

[0:50:10] Voice 13: we brought forward for consideration of first reading

[0:50:13] Voice 13: and scheduling a public hearing at the next LPC meeting.

[0:50:17] Voice 12: Yeah, I'll second the motion.

[0:50:18] Voice 12: Motion is made and seconded.

[0:50:19] Voice 12: Any

[0:50:20] Voice 10: further discussion?

[0:50:22] Voice 10: No, I just, you know, I think it's, you know,

[0:50:26] Voice 10: It's this kind of year that sort of points out why we need to be looking at this.

[0:50:31] Voice 10: I mean, if you look at how dry it's been since June of last year, and even through now, I think there's merit in, you know, having a really good look at the groundwater and sustainability on Galliano Island.

[0:50:46] Voice 10: I mean, you only go back two years and we're all going, well, it's certainly just not a water problem because it's flowing everywhere.

[0:50:51] Voice 10: But you go into a year like this and you look in places on Vancouver Island, Sechelt, and some of those areas that are going through some severe drought conditions, I think there's, you know, just it's time for the island to sort of have a discussion about what the effects are and sort of how we sort of mitigate that.

[0:51:14] Voice 12: Great. So I'll call to questions. All in favor?

[0:51:18] Voice 13: In favor.

[0:51:18] Voice 12: Motion carries.

[0:51:19] Voice 12: Mayor Mrakas, Thank you trustees so we're on to section 15 reports and page 235 we have the local trust committee work program review staff report and summarize that please do thanks, so this is the opportunity for us to be the first opportunity anyway trust me to look at its work program start to make some decisions about.

[0:51:48] Voice 12: Mayor Mrakas, The term.

[0:51:51] Voice 12: So the work program is the general term that's used to summarize your active project, your projects, and then what's called your future projects list.

[0:51:59] Voice 11: And so

[0:52:00] Voice 12: in the staff report, I first of all summarize what's completed in the last term.

[0:52:05] Voice 12: And as of today, you have two projects on the go.

[0:52:09] Voice 12: The one you just discussed is the groundwater mapping implementation.

[0:52:13] Voice 12: And the second are some amendments to what was originally called district lots and later included a fourth lot as well.

[0:52:21] Voice 12: re-zoning and re-designating to nature protection, and those by-laws are at the minister's office right now, so those by-laws could be adopted at some point in the next couple of months when they come back.

[0:52:37] Voice 12: So that's where the LTC stands today.

[0:52:41] Voice 12: Like I said, the groundwater mapping implementation project is your active project.

[0:52:46] Voice 12: There is funding available until the end of the fiscal year, March 31st, to complete that.

[0:52:53] Voice 12: So our hope is that it proceeds public hearing in before March 31st.

[0:52:59] Voice 11: And

[0:53:00] Voice 12: at that point, that project would be substantially complete at that point.

[0:53:06] Voice 12: And then you can look at what other projects you wanted to elevate to your active project list, designated your active project.

[0:53:15] Voice 12: So, sort of give you a menu of options at least to start your thinking.

[0:53:22] Voice 12: There's summarized the future projects, as they are identified now.

[0:53:26] Voice 12: The work program, so there's a list of them there. Also identified some potential initiatives coming from Regional Planning Committee over the last term.

[0:53:38] Voice 12: and so affordable housing or housing options more probably more accurately is one of them

[0:53:43] Voice 12: coastal douglas for ecosystem protection uh so on the ltc's project list cultural heritage

[0:53:52] Voice 12: protection uh shoreline review and a developer and then basically anything else that the local

[0:54:05] Voice 12: trust committee wishes to identify itself or through potentially having some community

[0:54:10] Voice 12: consultation or engagement to see what the community's priorities are to that kind of

[0:54:15] Voice 12: process um there's also the you might want to turn its mind to whether you want to do a major

[0:54:21] Voice 12: bylaw review this term galliano's ocp had a major review about 10 years ago uh land use bylaw was

[0:54:29] Voice 12: updated after just after that a couple of years so the next couple years after that um so as i

[0:54:35] Voice 12: say in the report it's not the oldest ocp in the trust area but it's not the newest either

[0:54:41] Voice 12: so but that would be a major project you want to create a business case and have trust council

[0:54:47] Voice 12: funding for that um talk a little bit about business cases you're exposed to some of that

[0:54:54] Voice 12: trust council so um there's a kind of a pool of funding for mine vertical minor projects uh

[0:55:02] Voice 12: projects under five thousand dollars uh those could be allocated without going to trust council

[0:55:08] Voice 12: one of those at a time um and then if you wanted to get a major project above and beyond that you

[0:55:16] Voice 12: have to make a business case it goes to trust council and that's what trust council was looking

[0:55:19] looking

[0:55:19] Voice 12: at last two weeks ago now,

[0:55:22] Voice 12: for some of the results right now as well.

[0:55:26] Voice 12: There's also administrative bylaws

[0:55:28] Voice 12: that we kind of bring forward as needed.

[0:55:31] Voice 12: Galliano has adopted several amendments

[0:55:33] Voice 12: to its administrative bylaws last term,

[0:55:38] Voice 12: but then we're probably gonna be bringing forward

[0:55:40] Voice 12: shortly updates to procedures bylaw

[0:55:46] Voice 12: to allow for alternate advertising for public hearings. This is a legislative change last year

[0:55:52] Voice 12: so it means we no longer will necessarily have to advertise in the driftwood which will be a benefit.

[0:56:02] Voice 12: Also summarize the applications that we dealt with the major ones anyway in the last term and

[0:56:09] Voice 12: And that's basically the opportunity for the local trust committee to identify any other additional potential projects you want to add to your projects list and confirm that the groundwater implementation projects you're acting on.

[0:56:34] Voice 12: Thank you. And just for clarity, so I know and the trustees may already know, as far as what you need as staff today, is there any particular imperative to make any decision today?

[0:56:52] Voice 12: Okay.

[0:56:53] Voice 12: Unless the LTC wanted to put a halt, which they haven't, to the groundwater project, no change.

[0:56:59] Voice 12: Okay. So at your discretion, local trustees.

[0:57:03] Voice 12: Well, my

[0:57:05] Voice 13: feelings that our budget is still a trap. I find it kind of hard to make a decision,

[0:57:11] Voice 13: especially for a big project, until we get that budget figured out.

[0:57:20] Voice 10: Yeah, I think we're in that spot. It's clear that there's going to be a sort of a cap on major projects, especially for this year.

[0:57:29] Voice 10: So I don't think OCP review or any major project is we're going to have a tough time getting funding for that.

[0:57:36] Voice 10: I'd like to see the groundwater get finished.

[0:57:40] Voice 10: And I look at the list and I'm not sure what the Wise Island by-law review, where that, you know, where that's at or how much,

[0:57:50] Voice 10: whether we can go from under five or not.

[0:57:53] Voice 10: not yeah

[0:57:53] Voice 12: i think i suggested that it's probably a minor project right initiated that you know

[0:57:59] Voice 12: once the groundwater project's done substantially complete that's one option you could look at that

[0:58:04] Voice 12: um you could look at doing some work actually you've been doing some work on housing options

[0:58:08] Voice 12: as well as a minor project um both of those are in the uh projects

[0:58:16] Voice 10: list now yeah and for me the

[0:58:18] Voice 10: review of the dining home options uh would jump to the top sector after groundwater right so like

[0:58:25] Voice 12: like i said no no need to make a decision today this is introducing it um and uh you can think

[0:58:31] Voice 12: about it discussions in february and march see how the groundwater projects do they consider whether

[0:58:41] Voice 12: you might want to have a special meeting bring some details or if there's consensus

[0:58:46] Voice 12: us after

[0:58:48] Voice 4: the groundwork against the plan next trustee

[0:58:59] Voice 12: any desire to take any action or consider

[0:59:02] Voice 12: and discuss further in the next meeting yeah i think this

[0:59:06] Voice 10: is absolutely right we've got to see

[0:59:07] Voice 10: what happens with the finance because that trust council and um sort of know where we're at then

[0:59:12] Voice 10: and we can make some decisions it's not like it's an emergency today right yeah so okay

[0:59:18] Voice 4: great well

[0:59:20] Voice 12: done we'll move on to 15.1.2 uh after projects list at page 241 and that is for information

[0:59:32] Voice 12: for information and these are your two projects the first one are the four district lots from

[0:59:37] Voice 12: zoning like i said the ocps are the minister's office just wait for that waiting for that

[0:59:43] Voice 12: consider an option and then the top the one active one is the groundwater sustainability

[0:59:48] Voice 12: ability okay and then item 15.1.3 is the future projects similar status there

[1:00:01] Voice 12: And so that brings us to item 15.2, the applications report dated November 2022.

[1:00:10] Voice 12: Any staff reporting out on that?

[1:00:12] Voice 12: Well, just sort of to the benefit of the local trust committee, every agenda, reports generated, updating the status of all the applications that are currently open.

[1:00:21] Voice 12: And it's an opportunity to ask a question about an application that isn't on the agenda,

[1:00:29] Voice 11: update on, like I said, it's in every agenda package.

[1:00:35] Voice 11: Specific questions for Ike.

[1:00:42] Voice 12: Questions on those?

[1:00:43] Voice 12: Okay, that brings us to item 15.3 of page 252, the local trustee and local expense report dated October 2022.

[1:00:54] Voice 12: 22. um so this tracks your spending on your local customity expenses which pays for the

[1:01:04] Voice 12: meetings and so on uh also under the projects it tracks the spending for the minor projects

[1:01:10] Voice 12: and if you had a major project as well

[1:01:13] Voice 11: so

[1:01:15] Voice 12: as you can see the groundwater implementation has

[1:01:17] Voice 12: some funding left um for the rest of the fiscal year which is so much through first

[1:01:22] Voice 12: and uh you'll get my email more detailed report every month with the actual signature broken down

[1:01:32] Voice 12: questions

[1:01:33] Voice 12: yep and then that brings us to 15.4 the adopted policies standing resolutions at page 253

[1:01:48] Voice 12: so when we have local trust committees can buy resolution policies certain things

[1:01:54] Voice 12: uh the name standing standing resolution suggests it's sort of ongoing direction to

[1:01:59] Voice 12: staff on something rather than one time decision and this is just the mechanism to track it

[1:02:05] Voice 12: we record it and this report goes in every agenda um from time to time you should probably have a

[1:02:13] Voice 12: look at it and sometimes things get out of date and

[1:02:16] Voice 11: uh no rush on that

[1:02:23] Voice 10: questions on that uh just

[1:02:25] Voice 10: Just to comment, when we look at the standing resolution

[1:02:29] Voice 10: on reconciliation, I think it's important

[1:02:33] Voice 10: that we don't just include those First Nations organizations

[1:02:37] Voice 10: that are on the list of violence trust for referrals,

[1:02:41] Voice 10: but also other organizations that exist,

[1:02:44] Voice 10: Coast Salish Peoples of Galliano

[1:02:46] Voice 10: and Coast Salish Peoples of Salt Spring,

[1:02:47] Voice 10: because we should be doing referrals

[1:02:50] Voice 10: with those two organizations as well.

[1:02:52] Voice 10: They're both First Nations peoples

[1:02:55] Voice 10: that are living in the traditional territory so i think it's important that we uh sort of leave it

[1:03:01] Voice 10: on the staff to figure out how they fit that in but i think that's important yeah okay

[1:03:06] Voice 4: all right

[1:03:09] Voice 12: that brings us to item 15.5 local trust committee web page any reporting out on that no this is an

[1:03:16] Voice 12: opportunity with the local trustees sending questions or wanted something posted in

[1:03:21] Voice 12: particular to the trustee this is your opportunity to just give us that direction the direction no

[1:03:33] Voice 12: okay that brings us to item 15.6 the island trust conservancy report dated october

[1:03:40] Voice 12: 2022 at page uh 58 that's for information okay which brings us on to new business at item 16

[1:03:56] Voice 12: So item 16.1 is the letter from the Sonics Leadership Council staff regarding the draft 2021 Islands Trust Policy Statement Amendments.

[1:04:10] Voice 12: Anything from staff on this?

[1:04:12] Voice 12: This was, as you probably know, was referred to all the local trust committees by the Trust Programs Committee.

[1:04:22] Voice 12: So it's here

[1:04:24] Voice 10: for our information.

[1:04:26] Voice 10: Yeah, and just to comment on that.

[1:04:28] Voice 10: I mean, it's nice that we got this back from the Hacenic Nation or the Council, but it's,

[1:04:38] Voice 10: there's a lot more work to do. Obviously, we're in Connecticut Territory here and the Coast Salish

[1:04:43] Voice 10: People's Galliano Territory and so there's a lot of work to do within that policy statement to

[1:04:49] Voice 10: make sure that we get good referral documents and good engagement with those nations,

[1:04:57] Voice 10: especially for us on Gallaudet out here, right?

[1:05:00] Voice 13: The report, I love that.

[1:05:04] Voice 13: I just wanted to make sure everyone heard that First Nations

[1:05:09] Voice 13: should not be regarded as stakeholders. This is what the report

[1:05:12] Voice 13: is saying. It's a much stronger connection to the land since

[1:05:16] Voice 13: there's interest around legal consultation

[1:05:20] Voice 13: as well. So I thought that was important to hear. We've also

[1:05:24] Voice 13: I also ask that the First Nations actively be involved in governance, those that express the need for a cooperation accord and information data sharing agreements.

[1:05:36] Voice 13: That's a very concise ask.

[1:05:44] Voice 12: Okay, thank you for that. And next we have item 16.2 letter to tell us regarding public use telephone access.

[1:05:51] Voice 12: Is that me?

[1:05:53] Voice 12: Yes.

[1:05:53] Voice 13: Oh, that's you.

[1:05:54] Voice 12: Okay.

[1:05:55] Voice 12: Is

[1:05:56] Voice 11: that the affidavit?

[1:05:57] Voice 13: Nope.

[1:05:58] Voice 11: Oh, okay.

[1:05:58] Voice 13: Go ahead.

[1:05:58] Voice 13: Nope.

[1:05:59] Voice 13: This is something new.

[1:05:59] Voice 13: A community member brought to my attention that the last public use telephone was taken

[1:06:07] Voice 13: from the Ferry Terminal, and I was seeking a resolution to draft a letter in efforts

[1:06:17] Voice 13: that relay their feedback they tell us about the burdens and the barriers yeah so

[1:06:26] Voice 12: i have some

[1:06:27] Voice 12: information because this has been going on this there was a payphone i said yeah okay

[1:06:32] Voice 12: so telus is

[1:06:33] Voice 12: doing this everywhere yeah and

[1:06:36] Voice 12: so we had the same thing we had our our payphones cut off on

[1:06:41] Voice 12: luskete island and i heard from denman island what they did there at the denman store is they talked

[1:06:48] Voice 12: to tell us and they've made a deal to essentially replace that service with a

[1:06:58] Voice 12: $20 a month three-year contract business line that can make local calls for free

[1:07:03] Voice 12: it's blocked for any long distance and so we're in the process on the ski I

[1:07:12] Voice 12: uh i've talked to the the telus guy that's in charge of that on for vancouver island

[1:07:18] Voice 12: and he's he's quite open to uh extending that service to other islands so i'm more than happy

[1:07:24] Voice 12: to set you up with his contact information excellent and that um what was really clear

[1:07:32] Voice 12: from talking to him is that uh there's a there's a number of issues from their corporate point of

[1:07:38] Voice 12: view one is that it's there's financially it's just a dead loss another big issue is that that

[1:07:46] Voice 12: equipment isn't being made anymore so replacement or maintenance of that equipment is just it's

[1:07:55] Voice 12: it's now so obsolete that it's it's going to be it's all already virtually impossible right yeah

[1:08:00] Voice 12: so that's the alternative that um we're pursuing on the speedy i believe denman's already successfully

[1:08:07] Voice 12: done it. And the message I got from him was pretty clear that actually keeping and maintaining

[1:08:16] Voice 12: a payphone, public payphone, is almost certainly not going to happen. But this other model

[1:08:23] Voice 12: of providing a community, and what it means is that some group or group of individuals

[1:08:31] Voice 12: or whatever in the community will have to agree to signing the three-year contract and coming up

[1:08:38] Voice 12: with the twenty dollars a month to maintain it um on the skinny we're looking at having our

[1:08:46] Voice 12: uh our community associations actually applying as we speak to the regional district

[1:08:52] Voice 12: district under the emergency services provisions because we feel where our ours is located in like

[1:09:02] Voice 12: a cell phone dead spot on the island and we just we feel and and it may or may not be approved by

[1:09:09] Voice 12: the regional district but that's the that's the right direction we've decided to go to look for

[1:09:14] Voice 12: the funding it's not an excessive amount of money and if that doesn't happen the community

[1:09:19] Voice 12: the association will we'll decide whether that's appropriate for the association to pay for it or

[1:09:24] Voice 12: not but that's some information um that i'm aware of of what's going on with telus and these these

[1:09:31] Voice 12: pay phones um something like together so i'm

[1:09:37] Voice 13: happy i'm happy happy

[1:09:39] Voice 12: to pass that information

[1:09:40] Voice 12: on to you

[1:09:41] Voice 12: yeah

[1:09:42] Voice 13: give me that number and i will dig around on the island

[1:09:44] Voice 13: Yeah. Okay. Great.

[1:09:48] Voice 12: Okay. And that brings us to 16.3. Trustee Maverly, that was a letter.

[1:09:57] Voice 10: Yeah. So this is a letter we got from Emma Davis for the last mile internet, basically,

[1:10:05] Voice 10: that's what it's called. And she's looking for a letter of support from the trustees

[1:10:09] Voice 10: fees for the last 10% of funding for the for this what we call redrip rural economic diversification

[1:10:17] Voice 10: and infrastructure program. So just I bring this forward and see if we support a letter

[1:10:25] Voice 10: with Emma Davis, we can work with Emma to craft a

[1:10:27] Voice 4: letter. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

[1:10:31] Voice 4: So

[1:10:32] Voice 12: it's requested that that comes from the local trust committee. Yeah. Okay. So we probably want

[1:10:37] Voice 12: to work with staff i'm guessing as well if they've got a form in the form letter for you

[1:10:43] Voice 12: start with that but a resolution um signed by the to be signed by the chair typically unless one of

[1:10:50] Voice 12: the trustees wants to sign it on behalf of the trust committee okay so a resolution that the

[1:10:57] Voice 12: local trust committee uh writes a letter in support of or endorses yeah yeah

[1:11:03] Voice 11: do you want

[1:11:05] Voice 12: resolution well we could also get the letter together yeah let's all do that and once the

[1:11:11] Voice 11: letter is

[1:11:11] Voice 12: together we can have a resolution if it's not something that requires a lot of discussion

[1:11:16] Voice 12: or debate then we can probably even do that by a resolution without meeting definitely

[1:11:21] Voice 12: that seemed reasonable yeah

[1:11:23] Voice 3: we just passed

[1:11:23] Voice 12: a resolution now or we can pass a

[1:11:25] Voice 12: resolution now and

[1:11:26] Voice 12: and you know sure we can

[1:11:28] Voice 12: just event the later later we

[1:11:30] Voice 12: might just say and a member of the local

[1:11:31] Voice 12: trust committee can sign that

[1:11:32] Voice 10: way anybody can sign it

[1:11:34] Voice 10: i'm sure okay well um and i look for

[1:11:36] Voice 10: some help from staff on what that resolution will so

[1:11:38] Voice 12: the galliano island local trust committee

[1:11:44] Voice 12: support letter to

[1:11:49] Voice 12: sorry it's great here

[1:15:00] Voice 12: favor excellent so that carries that was item 16.3 just to

[1:15:10] Voice 12: clarify for that item that that

[1:15:11] Voice 12: letter is being drafted by the members of the local trust yeah yeah

[1:15:17] Voice 10: and we'll get all amber

[1:15:19] Voice 10: davis and the initial

[1:15:20] Voice 11: job would come from ltc and then

[1:15:22] Voice 12: we can help to facilitate the administrative

[1:15:24] Voice 12: Thank you very much.

[1:15:30] Voice 12: Okay, so that brings us to the other new business item at 16.4 GLR2-2022-1.

[1:15:42] Voice 12: That

[1:15:43] Voice 10: was you Trustee Mayerle?

[1:15:44] Voice 10: Yep. So this was a motion on the July 4th meeting of last year over a rezoning application for GLRZ.

[1:15:55] Voice 10: 2022.1 gaylord and there was a motion to um to proceed no further with that application

[1:16:07] Voice 10: um i have had a letter from the applicants um requesting that we rescind that motion

[1:16:15] Voice 10: and um and allow this application to proceed i i agree with the owner i think the reasoning for

[1:16:22] Voice 10: for killing this application um you know doesn't stand up i think this application should have been

[1:16:30] Voice 10: allowed to um proceed at least i mean this is an application that will include the canada nation

[1:16:36] Voice 10: and uh i think we we need to allow that to get to that point before we start killing it you know

[1:16:44] Voice 10: it's had no public input so um okay just okay i'm

[1:16:48] Voice 10: gonna pause you for

[1:16:49] Voice 12: a moment because i want to get

[1:16:51] Voice 12: some staff advice on on procedurally is that uh is that reasonable to rescind so the yeah the

[1:17:01] Voice 12: resolution was to proceed no further the files been closed they've been refunded so you can't

[1:17:06] Voice 12: kind of unwind the clock anymore to that point but

[1:17:09] Voice 12: what you could do is you could as a local trust

[1:17:12] Voice 12: committee say that you would accept a new app an identical new application from them okay so

[1:17:19] Voice 12: procedurally that's the correct way to go we can't reopen the old one but we can accept the new app

[1:17:25] Voice 12: identical new application

[1:17:26] Voice 10: okay the one question i have then is um so obviously there's been money

[1:17:31] Voice 10: you know they've been refunded i assume about half of the application they have the cash to

[1:17:37] Voice 10: check yet but can we make the motion to open it and and require not require if they don't

[1:17:44] Voice 10: caption check not require additional funds no they would need to pay the new people okay okay

[1:17:54] Voice 10: so remind me again so it's uh

[1:17:56] Voice 12: so the reason why you need a resolution is because if your

[1:18:01] Voice 12: development procedures bylaw says an applicant cannot apply for an identical application that

[1:18:09] Voice 12: they can turn down for within one year that would be turned down but the local trust committee

[1:18:15] can, by resolution, accept an identical application.

[1:18:19] They've now went through less than a year

[1:18:22] since the resolution.

[1:18:25] Voice 12: So by resolution, you can say we'll accept,

[1:18:27] Voice 12: the local trust committee will accept

[1:18:31] Voice 12: identical application for,

[1:18:33] Voice 12: cite the application number,

[1:18:36] Voice 12: and that way they can reapply immediately.

[1:18:40] Voice 10: Okay, I'm going to make the motion

[1:18:42] Voice 10: to accept an identical application

[1:18:44] Voice 10: application for GLRZ2022.1, Gaylord.

[1:18:50] Voice 11: Is that sufficient?

[1:18:54] Voice 12: That's sufficient, yeah.

[1:18:55] Voice 12: Okay, is there a seconder?

[1:18:56] Voice 13: I'll second that.

[1:18:58] Voice 10: Any further discussion?

[1:19:00] Voice 10: No, I think it's, like I said, like I was saying,

[1:19:03] Voice 10: I think the application was killed prematurely

[1:19:08] Voice 10: and I'd like to see it move forward.

[1:19:10] Voice 10: Okay.

[1:19:11] Voice 10: Yeah,

[1:19:11] Voice 13: I'm new to the process and all this here.

[1:19:18] Voice 13: all right

[1:19:19] Voice 12: well then i'll go ahead and call the question on the motion all in favor

[1:19:25] Voice 12: and that carries okay and that brings us to 16.5 and this is the bylaw motion yes um can you give

[1:19:40] Voice 12: us a little bit on the intent of the motion or like you we haven't

[1:19:44] Voice 10: received it yeah i know and

[1:19:46] Voice 10: so i on that note um i'm more than willing to make a notice of motion for the seventh meeting

[1:19:52] Voice 10: i think in terms of

[1:19:53] Voice 12: procedurally as your chair i would much prefer that yeah no and i think that's

[1:19:57] Voice 12: fair and i don't like to drop a motion obviously yeah and and

[1:20:01] Voice 11: the other thing i

[1:20:01] Voice 12: would the other

[1:20:02] Voice 12: thing i would also add is it's not just your fellow trustees and staff but it's also the public

[1:20:07] Voice 10: yeah so um i'll make a notice of motion do you want me to read out the motion because i can give

[1:20:16] Voice 10: you the wording to it um it's identical to the main island standing resolution bylaw okay yeah

[1:20:28] Voice 10: uh so i'll make a notice of motion for standing resolution that the galliano island local trust

[1:20:34] Voice 10: committee directs staff to take enforcement action against unlawful dwellings only if

[1:20:40] Voice 10: one of the following conditions exists there is a complaint from an immediate neighbor there is

[1:20:46] Voice 10: a referral from an agency responsible for health and safety issues that is doing concurrent

[1:20:51] Voice 10: enforcement nothing in this enforcement policy should be interpreted as giving permission to

[1:20:56] Voice 10: violate the land use bylaw and the galliano island local trust committee may change this policy at

[1:21:02] Voice 10: any time and may give direction to expand enforcement so it is yeah it's the same as

[1:21:08] Voice 10: the standing resolution for mainland yeah

[1:21:10] Voice 12: sounds very good yeah

[1:21:12] Voice 10: yeah i just feel that it's important

[1:21:15] Voice 10: that we are consistent right and i feel it's important that you know especially in this time

[1:21:22] Voice 10: when housing is at such a uh difficult time that um we you know we support people who are living

[1:21:32] Voice 10: an alternative housing right so uh yeah i'll just make the notice of motion and uh it gives everybody

[1:21:40] Voice 10: lots of time for input for february 7th great

[1:21:44] Voice 12: thank you very much and so that then brings us

[1:21:48] Voice 12: to section 17 and it's 17.1 we have the draft 2023 ltc uh meeting scheduled for approval

[1:21:57] Voice 12: vote. Anything on this stuff? It's pretty, pretty

[1:22:02] Voice 12: straightforward. Okay, so, trustees, any concerns or

[1:22:13] Voice 12: questions on this? Or should we just go right to adoption? Yes.

[1:22:17] Voice 12: Well,

[1:22:17] Voice 13: I'll just say all the office at all. Break it up to

[1:22:20] Voice 13: some more polling once I brought that

[1:22:22] Voice 10: up. Some issues around the

[1:22:26] Voice 10: Yeah,

[1:22:26] Voice 12: just like streaming and recording will be an issue streaming or is that due to the Internet connectivity at the North Pole.

[1:22:38] Voice 8: Yeah, we

[1:22:39] Voice 12: have internet up there.

[1:22:43] Voice 12: I think so. We can give it a try.

[1:22:46] Voice 12: We've done zoom.

[1:22:49] Voice 12: Yeah.

[1:22:50] Voice 13: do this right yeah i'm going

[1:22:51] Voice 13: to see if it yeah okay

[1:22:53] Voice 12: so as far as uh so we're happy with the

[1:22:57] Voice 12: schedule then it's just the location we'd like to try a couple put a couple minutes okay um

[1:23:05] Voice 12: do we want to identify a date that will try that out and then and then assuming that it works well

[1:23:13] Voice 12: then we could consider alternating so we'd only we'd be approving this and then uh be open to

[1:23:18] Voice 12: changing the the venue yeah yeah

[1:23:22] Voice 10: i would think i would say is yeah i

[1:23:24] Voice 10: mean if you look at if we

[1:23:25] Voice 10: were having the north end today by the time the ferry got in you know we'd be 130 before you

[1:23:32] Voice 10: showed up at the north end so i mean we want to look at the summer months a little bit better

[1:23:36] Voice 10: yeah so

[1:23:37] Voice 12: we might the the start times might vary if we're at the different

[1:23:41] Voice 11: it is the various lake yeah

[1:23:43] Voice 12: yeah okay initially it's been uh closer to sort of around the summer

[1:23:47] Voice 12: like late spring early fall

[1:23:49] Voice 12: for the north hall and uh i'm sure they're not hooked up with the vents

[1:23:54] Voice 12: but you never know right so there's a few factors so um as far as proceeding uh what what would make

[1:24:04] Voice 12: you happiest to uh have staff do some investigation about availability or

[1:24:10] Voice 11: you want to

[1:24:11] Voice 12: take a date

[1:24:12] Voice 12: and try for it pass the resolution and then just add to it and the staff identify two dates

[1:24:37] Voice 12: oh there it is bottom of the middle of the page so there is a recommendation there oh

[1:24:44] Voice 13: there it goes

[1:24:44] Voice 13: All right. I move that the Gallaudet local trust committee propose to come with the regular meeting schedule.

[1:24:57] Voice 13: And then we're going to put in considerations of two dates.

[1:25:03] Voice 12: Yeah. And then staff considered two dates at the North Hall.

[1:25:06] Voice 12: Yeah.

[1:25:08] Voice 13: It should

[1:25:10] Voice 12: be a third, third

[1:25:12] Voice 5: of the population is in the North Hall.

[1:25:15] Voice 12: uh go consider dates at and then we can we can we can hammer out

[1:25:20] Voice 12: the exact number later that

[1:25:22] Voice 12: leaves us a little bit up but let's not see what's available yeah yeah

[1:25:25] Voice 10: that staff consider dates

[1:25:28] Voice 4: it's

[1:25:28] Voice 10: not that we don't want to go north i got a lot of firewood to deliver up there so i'm anxious

[1:25:32] Voice 10: all right

[1:25:35] Voice 13: where are we in this motion why

[1:25:37] Voice 12: don't you just start again for our minute taker sorry

[1:25:40] Voice 13: all right thank you uh the trust committee uh approved uh the proposed 2023 regular meeting

[1:25:49] Voice 13: schedule uh with consideration of up to possibly three north uh north hall meetings

[1:26:02] Voice 12: okay did

[1:26:04] Voice 13: you get that

[1:26:05] Voice 12: all right sarah

[1:26:05] Voice 12: thank you we'll just give sarah a second make sure she got that

[1:26:13] Voice 6: hi uh yes i've got that i've just added to the end uh and that staff consider holding up to three

[1:26:21] Voice 6: meetings at the north hall okay

[1:26:24] Voice 12: move seconded any further discussion call the question all in

[1:26:30] Voice 12: favor that carries okay so that brings us to section 18 which is a second town hall just one

[1:26:39] Voice 12: note on 17-2 oh sorry

[1:26:41] Voice 10: and the agenda it says february 6th and i believe it's february 7th

[1:26:45] Voice 12: that's correct the february 6th date on the agenda page is incorrect thanks i i caught that earlier i

[1:26:52] Voice 12: then forgot uh but the main thing is the one we approved has the correct date that's what really

[1:26:57] Voice 12: counts okay so we've got another town hall section here is there anyone here that likes to speak yes

[1:27:03] Voice 12: This

[1:27:04] Voice 9: is something I missed in my first topic with Wise Island.

[1:27:07] Voice 9: On September 6th, we asked for an abeyance of bylaw enforcement, and it's documented in my in-depth on September 6th.

[1:27:15] But there's still ongoing

[1:27:16] Voice 4: issues with bylaw enforcement on Wise Island.

[1:27:20] Voice 4: Okay,

[1:27:24] Voice 12: I see trustees making a note of that here.

[1:27:27] Voice 11: Just to clarify, I think you asked for abeyance, so that means that the trustees can actually pass a resolution?

[1:27:32] Voice 11: no they did not so that's why you're still okay why

[1:27:37] Voice 5: you would still be undergoing by law

[1:27:39] Voice 5: enforcement trustees the previous trustees uh decided to not i would have decided to not

[1:27:47] Voice 5: to not pass a resolution turning off by law enforcement and so without that resolution

[1:27:55] Voice 5: in

[1:27:56] Voice 12: place the bylaw enforcement would

[1:27:57] Voice 5: continue to

[1:27:59] Voice 12: commence yeah so potentially you could ask

[1:28:03] Voice 12: the local justice

[1:28:13] Voice 10: your group could get a letter together and send it to us that'd be great

[1:28:16] Voice 10: yeah okay thank you there yes in

[1:28:21] Voice 12: the back here

[1:28:33] Voice 8: I always read it just before the meeting and I keep on missing the possibility of the CIM before the public hearing because after the public hearing, there's no public input.

[1:28:48] Voice 8: So I was just wondering, I mean, usually we've had a practice of having a CIM before the public hearing, and I mean, I don't think there's a significant amount of time that can take up.

[1:28:59] Voice 8: I'm just wondering if that's still included almost in the public hearing or to go directly

[1:29:07] Voice 8: into public hearing with no information on what can be.

[1:29:14] Voice 8: There's a

[1:29:14] Voice 12: lot of public hearings, except very maybe the odd, really minor one.

[1:29:19] Voice 12: We'll have a community information meeting the same day for standing in the public hearing.

[1:29:23] Voice 12: Local trust committee, probably the next meeting, might want to have one, or they want to have

[1:29:28] Voice 12: another standalone meeting.

[1:29:31] Voice 12: okay a couple weeks before the public hearing there have been there was a cim in the fall

[1:29:38] Voice 12: regarding the groundwater project so

[1:29:39] Voice 11: not specific to uh the bylaws themselves

[1:29:43] Voice 11: but a more broader

[1:29:45] Voice 11: uh cim that

[1:29:47] Voice 11: was held in the south that spoke

[1:29:50] Voice 12: to the results of the groundwater analysis

[1:29:54] Voice 11: well

[1:29:56] Voice 8: i noticed also there was a you mentioned

[1:30:00] Voice 8: number of revisions. So I thought that maybe there would

[1:30:04] Voice 8: be some information that you will see just so we have a big

[1:30:08] Voice 8: idea of what we're looking at and more transparency. I mean, I

[1:30:14] Voice 8: know that it's been really long time long winded people can be

[1:30:20] Voice 8: but you know, just basic information would be great.

[1:30:24] Voice 8: And before people are commenting, I mean, come in, you start commenting, and you don't

[1:30:33] Voice 8: have the information, and then you're not allowed to put anything else in, and it's

[1:30:37] Voice 8: been public hearing.

[1:30:38] Voice 8: So what it was was it's

[1:30:41] Voice 12: a bit confusing that the recommendation was for first reading and

[1:30:45] Voice 12: public hearing, and then the alternatives, there was

[1:30:49] Voice 8: a community information meeting.

[1:30:50] Voice 8: And just, I just thought, you know, there's always been assumed that

[1:31:01] Voice 8: maybe you want to

[1:31:03] Voice 8: I think

[1:31:10] Voice 12: typically

[1:31:13] Voice 8: kind of assumed that there will be some information beforehand.

[1:31:17] Voice 8: I

[1:31:17] Voice 5: think typically, as Jim has stated, there is typically a CIM prior to a public hearing,

[1:31:25] Voice 5: depending on the complexity of the application of the project. Sometimes it's a separate CIM,

[1:31:31] Voice 5: sometimes it's in conjunction with the public hearing. And that would be ultimately

[1:31:34] Voice 12: up to the

[1:31:35] Voice 12: local trust committee to decide when Planner Chadwick comes back at the next meeting with

[1:31:43] Voice 12: with seeking direction for first reading

[1:31:45] Voice 12: in the public hearing.

[1:31:46] Voice 12: And I will certainly take this

[1:31:48] Voice 5: back to Narissa,

[1:31:49] Voice 5: your view that at least even if the CIM

[1:31:53] Voice 5: is immediately prior to the public hearing,

[1:31:57] Voice 5: that some opportunity, another opportunity for the public

[1:32:01] Voice 5: to ask specific questions about

[1:32:03] Voice 11: what has changed perhaps

[1:32:05] Voice 11: from the last CIM to where we're at now.

[1:32:20] Voice 12: okay so yes vice chair peterson i just want to let people know that uh in perspective

[1:32:31] Voice 12: tiny homes and rvs and and the like that uh the crd um is looking at the same type of initiatives

[1:32:39] Voice 12: is that that

[1:32:40] Voice 11: the islands trust is here and so we've got staff working on what we can do to

[1:32:47] Voice 11: legalize tiny

[1:32:49] Voice 12: homes and and rvs and i also want to actually do that your notice of motion for a

[1:32:54] Voice 12: standing resolution that's an identical resolution that also exists on saturn island so there is some

[1:33:00] Voice 12: commonality that's happening and i think we're we're we're paddling in the same direction and

[1:33:05] Voice 12: And I guess Trustee Gavreau would have been at the meeting

[1:33:10] Voice 11: with Adam Olson.

[1:33:11] Voice 11: It sounds like other regional districts are getting on the same bandwagon.

[1:33:17] Voice 11: So we want to speak with a conservative voice because housing is a critical issue on our homes.

[1:33:25] Voice 11: Thank you.

[1:33:26] Voice 10: Thank you, Director Brent.

[1:33:27] Voice 10: Just a note on the tiny home thing.

[1:33:29] Voice 10: I mean, I'm hoping that we can put our heads together and see whether we can use TUPs for tiny homes here as well, you know, to get something started.

[1:33:39] Voice 10: I think it's a great avenue to test the waters, so to speak.

[1:33:43] Voice 10: So it would be nice to have some applications come forward, some TUPs come forward for tiny homes that would, you know, sort of, like I say, probably lead to what we can see would work in our OCP.

[1:33:55] Voice 12: yeah and i'll just add uh briefly to that that when we spoke to uh uh the minister of municipal

[1:34:02] Voice 12: affairs yesterday of course housing was one of the the issues that we we did talk about

[1:34:09] Voice 12: and uh i i made a point of mentioning that there are some barriers around the bc building code

[1:34:15] Voice 12: uh that affect the viability of tiny homes and and tiny homes on wheels and that some

[1:34:23] Voice 12: some assistance in rationalizing those building code barriers

[1:34:31] Voice 12: could be very helpful for assisting with the housing issues

[1:34:37] Voice 12: especially here in the Gulf Islands.

[1:34:39] Voice 12: Yes.

[1:34:46] Voice 8: I'm glad, I'm just talking about finding homes

[1:34:49] Voice 8: and other areas of work.

[1:34:53] Voice 8: But I think it doesn't really matter what you're living in.

[1:34:57] Voice 8: What matters is that you have a septic system and a water supply.

[1:35:02] Voice 8: And if you want a little bit of change, but you're covering off on things that are going to affect other people, it's fine.

[1:35:10] Voice 8: From my point of view.

[1:35:14] Voice 8: Yeah.

[1:35:15] Voice 10: Yeah, and I think through the, you know, using the TUPs, we address that through the TUPs.

[1:35:20] Voice 10: So I think that's, I think you're absolutely right.

[1:35:24] Voice 10: that you know there's there's lots of areas we can cover off in the pvp that you know sort of

[1:35:30] Voice 10: alleviate the uh you

[1:35:32] Voice 11: know some of the concerns over but you know what people are doing thank you
