[0:02:24] Voice 8: So with that, we have an agenda before us,

[0:02:29] Voice 8: and I'll just look to trustees to see if there's any

[0:02:33] Voice 8: amendments to the agenda today.

[0:02:35] Voice 8: I see the business.

[0:02:37] Voice 8: Okay, what do you want to call it?

[0:02:41] Voice 8: An advocacy letter for the foreign land trust

[0:02:44] Voice 8: and Marilyn Manson's here representing the foreign land

[0:02:53] Voice 8: trust and she's asking that she can go ahead because she said okay well maybe we can hear

[0:03:08] Voice 8: under new business at 11.3 and i'll just mention there's a couple items

[0:03:14] Voice 8: depending on how long we run and how much we discuss there's a couple things that we might

[0:03:20] Voice 8: considered referring um today to another meeting uh possibly 9.1 and 11.1 may not be as time

[0:03:30] Voice 8: sensitive as some of the others so we'll just keep that in mind as we go along and other than that

[0:03:36] Voice 8: i'll take it by general consent we'll approve the agenda as amended and start our trustee reports so

[0:03:44] Voice 8: So we'd like to go first.

[0:03:46] Voice 8: I have just a little wee one because I haven't done much since last week.

[0:03:54] Voice 8: I'm on the Trust Programs Committee and we're going to be doing some more stewardship webinars

[0:04:02] Voice 8: based on what farmers have wanted to see and learn about.

[0:04:08] Voice 8: So we're going to be doing one on living with fire and saltwater intrusion and really based

[0:04:14] Voice 8: the species and native plant and um i actually sent a lot of our local um we have a lot of people

[0:04:25] Voice 8: that know a lot about these plants and fires and whatnot sort of forwarded fire chief and

[0:04:33] Voice 8: the basic community so they might be part of these webinars too so those will be coming

[0:04:38] Voice 8: the new

[0:04:39] Voice 6: year because

[0:04:41] Voice 8: everybody i remember everybody would like to win willing and

[0:04:43] Voice 8: shoe boat is the um the water report groundwater was well received and hopefully these webinars

[0:04:50] Voice 8: will be well received so um before people when we get closer to launch so that's why

[0:04:57] Voice 8: thank you uh one issue that's on the island is the uh controversy over the 3d park and uh

[0:05:08] Voice 8: And I supported what they've done in parts of it, but I thought it would be a really good solution to what's going on.

[0:05:19] Voice 8: They are cutting it down from 160 to 120 sites.

[0:05:24] Voice 8: They're putting 40 of them on the other side of the road.

[0:05:29] Voice 8: And there's one thing that I think people are missing is that that's a BC park.

[0:05:37] Voice 8: it's for the use and benefit of the people of british columbia it's not a country it's not a

[0:05:42] Voice 8: conservancy it's not to be not logged not used but a park you don't log it apart but so i think

[0:05:50] Voice 8: that's something that people are missing and i can i went to the open house i've read all five

[0:05:56] Voice 8: reports that dc parks did the environmental reports well where the wetlands are about

[0:06:03] Voice 8: probably the issues that were pertinent to what people they moved to and just seeing the people

[0:06:16] Voice 8: in the summer going up to the ringside the kids going they're going to have an ice cream the

[0:06:21] Voice 8: people go together we're going to have a a coffee and going down to the beach it's such a perfect

[0:06:26] Voice 8: location for the use and benefit of the people of the province to be able to come here you know and

[0:06:32] Voice 8: and i've been involved with conservancies up in the mid coast to bring their rainforest and i know

[0:06:37] Voice 8: what a conservancy is and i just think that's a perfect place to have that expansion to that park

[0:06:45] Voice 8: and it really isn't an expansion with people it's making them operate user friendly people are going

[0:06:49] Voice 8: to be able to push their bikes in there and they're going to be able to push walkers in there

[0:06:54] Voice 8: and that's that's why those trails are you know and it sounds like a terrible amount of gravel

[0:06:59] Voice 8: but if you just look at the trucks that just went in recently, they wouldn't do a great lot of

[0:07:05] Voice 8: gravel in there it takes a lot of gravel to do these things so it kind of saddens me that there's

[0:07:10] Voice 8: that sign on the road that says protect tribute park from bc parks because i just find that's

[0:07:17] Voice 8: that's a real travesty on what hard work people you know you go to that open house you see all

[0:07:20] Voice 8: those young people from bc parks i mean they really do love what they're doing and love

[0:07:26] Voice 8: of Eastern Park.

[0:07:27] Voice 8: So anyway, it's a controversy on the island.

[0:07:30] Voice 8: I understand that there's big trees in there,

[0:07:32] Voice 8: but the reason the big trees are left in there

[0:07:35] Voice 8: is because it's never, they were there

[0:07:37] Voice 8: because of one reason only, it's been logged twice.

[0:07:41] Voice 8: They're there because they're rotten

[0:07:43] Voice 8: or there's something wrong with them.

[0:07:44] Voice 8: So those big old down in the square trees

[0:07:46] Voice 8: are great to see, they're great there,

[0:07:48] Voice 8: but the cedar and the hemlock,

[0:07:50] Voice 8: and the, not the hemlock, the cedar and the balsam

[0:07:53] Voice 8: that are in there are very stressed

[0:07:54] Voice 8: from right and that's the ones you kind of take up they don't kind of take money and they don't

[0:07:59] Voice 8: go through there and put the trails in with the space so i i think it's a compromise i

[0:08:05] Voice 8: think it's not perfect i think there's some other things they could have done but i think it's a

[0:08:08] Voice 8: really good solution so can we leave it at that okay thank you next is chairs report so uh was

[0:08:17] Voice 8: mentioned on august 22nd press council met uh as committee of the whole to further consideration

[0:08:24] Voice 8: to the draft policy statement, which we're reviewing.

[0:08:29] Voice 8: Trustee Allen mentioned the webinars coming out of the Trust Programs Committee.

[0:08:34] Voice 8: The Governance Committee met Monday and advanced a request for decision

[0:08:41] Voice 8: to Trust Council regarding a request to the province for a review of Lyons Trust.

[0:08:49] Voice 8: The Chief Administrative Officer Hiring Committee continues to meet

[0:08:54] Voice 8: and work on this uh selection of candidates for the job um winning the numbers though got actually

[0:09:02] Voice 8: a really good response i think uh hiring the um hiring the uh the search firm so it was a good

[0:09:10] Voice 8: idea we had really high caliber uh candidates and in fact winning those numbers down hasn't been as

[0:09:16] Voice 8: easy as it

[0:09:17] Voice 8: might have been but uh really good caliber candidates i'm confident we'll come up

[0:09:23] Voice 8: with uh uh good choice in the end that committees formed of uh all of the executive committee and

[0:09:30] Voice 8: and all the uh chairs of all the council committees um executive committee met

[0:09:38] Voice 8: this week mostly focused on preparation for the september council meeting in two weeks

[0:09:45] Voice 8: um we uh requesting the trust council establishes a chief administrator officer

[0:09:51] Voice 8: officer performance evaluation policy and trust council is going to publicly revisit

[0:09:57] Voice 8: the interpretation of the islands trust act section three and uh we will go into the whole

[0:10:07] Voice 8: or another session on the policy statement review for that meeting executive committee

[0:10:12] Voice 8: also spent some time this week in preparation for the union bc municipalities convention

[0:10:18] Voice 8: next week we'll be meeting with some ministry staff to match some of the

[0:10:26] Voice 8: advocacy positions that are important across the trust area and executive

[0:10:33] Voice 8: committee also requested staff to organize a way to take the ski

[0:10:38] Voice 8: archaeology project presentation trustees and staff find that very

[0:10:42] Voice 8: interesting, really amazing to see what the archaeological record shows in terms of the

[0:10:51] Voice 8: settlement patterns on Mesquite over a really extended period of time. That has been done

[0:10:57] Voice 8: right from the get-go in partnership with Indigenous partners from First Nations in the

[0:11:04] Voice 8: who have any interest in these parts so I'm not sure when that's going to roll up but

[0:11:11] Voice 8: I did get to see an earlier version of it it's really interesting really informative there

[0:11:18] Voice 8: we're looking at well the head archaeologist who lives on the ski but it's a SFU

[0:11:26] Voice 8: professor um they're looking at uh getting a first nations uh elder or or advisor to

[0:11:36] Voice 8: be part of the presentation and to be there for the question and answer section um so moving on

[0:11:43] Voice 9: uh next we have the public comment um section let's remind members of

[0:11:50] Voice 8: the public to

[0:11:51] Voice 8: speak to the issues not personalities um use respectful language and to please keep your

[0:11:59] Voice 8: comments uh concise and to the point and i'll look for sure hands judith uh

[0:12:06] Voice 5: just listening to

[0:12:07] Voice 5: you we're going through a musical and a thing and i've been really noticing everybody's changing

[0:12:13] Voice 5: speaking at Victoria, Sam, and others and I think that's an issue here on Hornby Island

[0:12:22] Voice 5: and I would like to see that looked at at that meeting if you don't mind saying thank you very

[0:12:27] Voice 5: much.

[0:12:28] Voice 8: Yeah I don't think we got that meeting with um with uh minister of transport but that's

[0:12:35] Voice 8: certainly something that the local trust committee could consider some advocacy around.

[0:12:39] Voice 5: I have learned

[0:12:40] Voice 5: one thing that the municipal level

[0:12:42] Voice 5: has a say, and that's

[0:12:44] Voice 5: what Victoria and Sam and all of them

[0:12:46] Voice 5: are saying. They have the right

[0:12:48] Voice 5: to change the limit, which I've always

[0:12:50] Voice 5: been told that isn't the case,

[0:12:52] Voice 5: but it actually is.

[0:12:53] Voice 5: It wasn't from you guys.

[0:12:56] Voice 5: Yeah,

[0:12:57] Voice 9: well, and of course

[0:12:59] Voice 9: municipalities

[0:13:00] Voice 9: have certainly more

[0:13:02] Voice 9: control over

[0:13:04] Voice 8: roads than we do as

[0:13:06] Voice 8: Island Trust.

[0:13:09] Voice 5: Yeah,

[0:13:10] Voice 8: no, for sure. And I would just also mention that I know parts of Salt Spray are

[0:13:18] Voice 8: looking at reducing their speed limits because people are just roaring into the Ganges corner

[0:13:25] Voice 8: at these crazy rates of speed. So they're trying to spread the slower speed out a little

[0:13:31] Voice 8: bit further on each side. So I think that's a worthy consideration.

[0:13:34] Voice 8: direction. Anyone else?

[0:13:38] Voice 7: Oh, yeah, yeah, sure. Great. Great.

[0:13:41] Voice 7: Okay, I'm here representing China. You know, I'm

[0:13:46] Voice 7: representing

[0:13:47] Voice 7: the Farmland Trust Society. And just a little background, you

[0:13:50] Voice 7: probably already know about the building that's being erected on

[0:13:53] Voice 7: Solon's Road at 1350. And basically, it is a what I'm

[0:14:02] Voice 7: looking for, we're looking for support because we're going for

[0:14:05] Voice 7: grant that's going to complete that building. Right now it's almost locked up

[0:14:10] Voice 7: and what we're

[0:14:12] Voice 7: looking for is support to actually furnish it and actually bring it into production what it's

[0:14:17] Voice 7: supposed to be and what it is supposed

[0:14:18] Voice 7: to be is it's supposed to be something that's going to

[0:14:23] Voice 7: help we're calling it the shed after really this whole the idea of saving a food shed just if you

[0:14:30] Voice 7: want to save a you know you want to maintain a a vibrant watershed we want to maintain a vibrant

[0:14:38] Voice 7: food shed here on harvey island um and part of that would be in um it was going it's going to

[0:14:43] Voice 7: operate for goal is for it to operate as a storage and um so on the main level will be a root cellar

[0:14:52] Voice 7: a seed by the seed saving library a resource center as well as um and there's five cold

[0:14:59] Voice 7: cold rooms for storing food in different temperatures, as well as a curing room for people who want

[0:15:06] Voice 7: to do salami and meat curing.

[0:15:10] Voice 7: And then also on that level, we're anticipating having more equipment that would extend the

[0:15:17] Voice 7: lack of food, such as dehydrators, a vacuum sealer, and a walk-in freezer.

[0:15:21] Voice 7: And this is going to be available for the community to use for food printers and also

[0:15:28] Voice 7: for local farmers and gardeners.

[0:15:32] Voice 7: Then on the upper level, the plan is to create a commissary kitchen that will be for use

[0:15:38] Voice 7: for the, there's quite a few, really a sufficient commercial, you know, health board regulated

[0:15:48] Voice 7: related kitchen on Farm Redef, the local people who would like to be getting into food business

[0:15:54] Voice 7: and the caterers would, you know, are able to use at all times.

[0:15:57] Voice 7: So this is a project that we want, we're looking to do, and that would be as well as a place

[0:16:03] Voice 7: where we could have educational classes around food and workshops.

[0:16:10] Voice 7: And so it's going to require a bit of money.

[0:16:12] Voice 7: so we're going to find a way to read it and we would appreciate having the support of the local

[0:16:19] Voice 7: alliance trust on this that

[0:16:22] Voice 8: of course good questions now i just want to say it's really

[0:16:26] Voice 8: it's an exhibiting of what communities can do on their own grassroots level it's amazing

[0:16:32] Voice 7: you know the deaf and peter governance you guys are just great well we are and what we

[0:16:37] Voice 7: interesting is like the last board they've worked their tails off gary mancer he was the spearhead

[0:16:43] Voice 7: of the project with several other board members they have since retired other than um one of our

[0:16:49] Voice 7: board members i think is walking on to be the transitional guy and then there's um myself who

[0:16:55] Voice 7: comes from a food back catering food background food industry built restaurant built gave commercial

[0:17:00] Voice 7: kitchens before background as

[0:17:03] Planner Zupanec (probable): well as an architect

[0:17:04] Voice 7: kathleen roman who's well well placed in the

[0:17:07] Voice 7: the organization, Sheila McDonald, and Jamie McVitie, who's also in the food industry to

[0:17:13] Voice 7: take this to the next level. And so in order to, we've also, yeah, yeah, so we're working

[0:17:20] Voice 7: hard at that, and we just really, really appreciate that support.

[0:17:23] Voice 8: Very much appreciate your support in this community-wide effort.

[0:17:32] Voice 8: So would this be a letter to Redabs?

[0:17:35] Voice 7: Can you say what Redabs is?

[0:17:37] Voice 7: um it's the well the grant the funding that we're going for is um the regional economic

[0:17:45] Voice 7: diversification and development piece and i could send you all i could send you i'll send

[0:17:51] Voice 7: you all those details and who would i address with you all three of you for me i don't know

[0:17:57] Voice 7: who was committing okay but can i just um is there a timeline yes

[0:18:02] Voice 7: yes um well we're actually

[0:18:05] Voice 7: going for other funding too like little pieces there's like united way is really interested in

[0:18:10] Voice 7: funding climate change um food security through climate resilience and so we're thinking you know

[0:18:17] Voice 7: one of the programs we're looking at for that for small funding united way would be to do a rainwater

[0:18:22] Voice 7: collection and system that because currently there's a well i should imagine this because

[0:18:28] Voice 7: this land was donated was given to the farmland trust to use by a um a um it was by a man named

[0:18:37] Voice 7: donnie bears who passed away and this is and then what was created was a beautiful community garden

[0:18:42] Voice 7: where people come and they there's quite about there's about 50 plots there now and it's um

[0:18:47] Voice 7: currently right now they're operating off of the water from the well as well as the pond it's a

[0:18:52] Voice 7: pond where i have to use the well water but what we're wanting to do is create a separate system

[0:18:56] Voice 7: for the garden that is rainwater and so that's we're going to go for the underweight grant for

[0:19:01] Voice 7: that we're just kind of piecing up all these little funding opportunities yes could you draft

[0:19:07] Voice 8: the letter yeah

[0:19:08] Voice 7: i can drop the letter i can do some if you'd like it i can do point forms you

[0:19:11] Voice 7: could tweak it a bit i'm like you know just bullet points because i really you know i think if you

[0:19:15] Voice 7: if you want to get it

[0:19:17] Voice 8: done okay yeah you draft the letter right and i think who

[0:19:23] Voice 8: forward to yeah let me just bet it and make sure

[0:19:27] Voice 9: that it's yeah we're not you know right

[0:19:29] Voice 9: it's appropriate and did you did you i didn't hear a deadline date do you have a deadline

[0:19:33] Voice 9: yes

[0:19:34] Voice 7: it is october 1st

[0:19:36] Voice 7: before that actually september 29th okay

[0:19:39] Voice 7: okay so we

[0:19:41] Voice 6: might and we would like to use it for there's multiple

[0:19:45] Voice 9: for multiple okay well then yeah

[0:19:48] Voice 9: so i'd recommend you get that to us as soon as possible so we can do it all right

[0:19:53] Voice 9: so did you

[0:19:54] Voice 8: yeah

[0:19:55] Voice 9: well the whole island if he sends it if she sends it to the

[0:19:59] Voice 9: local trust committee then allow us to get a chance to get our eyes on it and then stop

[0:20:04] Voice 9: and

[0:20:04] Voice 8: then we'll do

[0:20:05] Voice 9: whatever we can everything we can to excavate it

[0:20:07] Voice 6: okay perfect and do you want

[0:20:08] Voice 6: to have an email address about easily available is it just on the on your website yeah the horn

[0:20:14] Voice 8: part of the Harvey Island Local Trust Committee.

[0:20:17] Voice 6: Or your email address is on there.

[0:20:19] Voice 8: Yeah, yeah, it comes to all of us.

[0:20:21] Voice 10: Yep, to be sure, be sure to, I think,

[0:20:26] Voice 10: add which specific agencies or groups

[0:20:30] Voice 10: that you're wanting the level of consensus

[0:20:32] Voice 10: that we

[0:20:32] Voice 10: can get that information.

[0:20:34] Voice 10: Like, is this the BC Economic Development Association,

[0:20:37] Voice 10: or is it the national program, which programs are you wanting?

[0:20:42] Voice 9: and if there's multiple and they're different deadlines um maybe let us know what the first

[0:20:47] Voice 9: deadline is and then let us know when the other ones are coming up and then we can if we didn't

[0:20:52] Voice 8: need to send out more than one copy address to different agencies we could do that okay

[0:20:56] Voice 7: and you could actually send us we'll attach them to our office sure absolutely

[0:20:59] Voice 7: it's probably an

[0:21:00] Voice 7: easy way to do that and um just

[0:21:05] Voice 8: for your information of our first deadline it's the

[0:21:09] Voice 8: end of september it's better than the point of development but it's for a federal application

[0:21:14] Voice 8: for a self-perpetuating uh 360 day a year greenhouse that could allow us to grow

[0:21:24] Voice 8: veggies for example 12 months a year right into the donny fair's farm cool that sounds like a

[0:21:31] really exciting project okay

[0:21:33] Voice 8: so i'm the salon as if there's

[0:21:36] Voice 8: anybody else that wants to address the

[0:21:38] Voice 8: local trust committee today your folks just

[0:21:40] Voice 11: a question um

[0:21:40] Voice 5: when you're talking about the project

[0:21:43] Voice 5: looking at the settling patterns on the sea is there something for harvey coming up is it

[0:21:48] Voice 5: something oh

[0:21:49] Voice 9: in terms of the archaeology um i know that the uh the head archaeologists there

[0:21:58] Voice 9: have done a couple different ones and i think that this one i was just talking about is intended to

[0:22:05] Voice 9: be for trustees and staff um and sort of interface with the local government responsibilities and

[0:22:13] Voice 9: stuff so i don't think this will be open to the public but i will check with with dana and find

[0:22:17] Voice 9: out if she's got more public facing ones when

[0:22:20] Voice 11: the same kind of project right and

[0:22:25] Voice 9: i know in terms of

[0:22:26] Voice 9: the actual archaeological work um it takes some time i i know that she has done uh archaeology

[0:22:35] Voice 9: with other first nations in bc i'm not aware um what her next or next projects are specifically

[0:22:44] Voice 9: but i also know there's uh for example i know komox's has an archaeologist and i'm not sure

[0:22:50] Voice 9: where

[0:22:51] Voice 8: they're at. I'll do a little looking and digging into that.

[0:22:54] Voice 6: I had a dialogue with Jesse

[0:22:56] Voice 6: Warren,

[0:22:57] Voice 8: the archaeologist from KFC last term and then COVID and everything else got in the way and

[0:23:04] Voice 8: so it's been on hold but I'm definitely not bringing it up again because he was going to

[0:23:09] Voice 8: he was going to do he's already on

[0:23:11] Voice 8: board. And is that a trust initiative project or

[0:23:14] Voice 8: is it the archaeologist has kind of said oh we'll do this? It's a bit of both yeah

[0:23:18] Voice 8: yeah because i think

[0:23:20] Voice 9: yeah and there may be within our within our reconciliation plan there may be

[0:23:26] Voice 9: some funding available for that kind of

[0:23:28] Voice 8: thing like to put on our errands and stuff so if they've done

[0:23:31] Voice 8: a lot of the work we might be able to you know pass resolutions and request funding to you know

[0:23:37] Voice 8: sort of pay for them to do the presentation type thing but i'll look into that yeah

[0:23:41] Voice 8: it oh i

[0:23:42] Voice 10: think she may okay great go ahead go ahead hi

[0:24:12] Voice 8: thank you so much

[0:24:14] Voice 8: so just look and see if there's anyone else here that like to address the

[0:24:19] Voice 9: local trust committee

[0:24:19] Voice 9: today not seeing any more hands so i'll move us along the next section is we have minutes

[0:24:26] Voice 9: from june 12th or 14th

[0:24:30] Voice 8: for adoption and chat with trustees is there any amendments uh requested for

[0:24:35] Voice 8: those minutes nope not seeing any i'll

[0:24:39] Voice 9: take it by general intent we'll adopt those as presented

[0:24:41] Voice 9: and next we have the special meeting minutes from august 4th or august i'm having trouble with the

[0:24:48] Voice 9: dates august 9th for adoption anything on those minutes from trustees no okay well we'll also

[0:24:55] Voice 9: adopt those as presented then by general consent

[0:24:58] Voice 8: uh we

[0:25:00] Voice 8: have a resolution the meeting report

[0:25:04] Voice 8: there's just the one on there from a ways back and unless there's any questions we can just

[0:25:12] Voice 8: have that for your permission yes sir this is the non-concurrence correct yeah have we heard

[0:25:18] Voice 8: anything

[0:25:18] Voice 6: at all i guess assuming we haven't heard anything because yeah

[0:25:23] Voice 10: so i was contacted by the

[0:25:26] Voice 10: bc park by the new person on this file um who wanted to oh this is this is bc parks correct

[0:25:36] Voice 10: yeah so same same story though I was contacted by the consultant Brian Gregg who wants to have

[0:25:45] Voice 10: a conversation and possibly bring something back to a future meeting so they feel at this point

[0:25:51] Voice 10: it's not really for me to to you know give this message but the gist of what what they're talking

[0:25:58] Voice 10: about is that they feel like they could address the LTC's concerns in some way and so they're

[0:26:02] Voice 10: looking to come back. So anyway the province has the letter from the LTC and the applicant's got

[0:26:11] Voice 10: it and now they want to talk a bit more about stuff and possibly the LTC could see them wanting

[0:26:18] Voice 10: to you know address the LTC again at a meeting. So that's as much as

[0:26:23] Voice 8: I know. The meeting's next

[0:26:25] Voice 8: week so all right uh so moving on we have a follow-up follow-up action uh report uh age 17

[0:26:34] Voice 8: anymore staff on that report today no problem let's uh address these several questions questions

[0:26:40] Voice 8: at all i just think well the letter is being written to bc parks so we could say completed

[0:26:45] Voice 8: i guess it's no longer yeah it's

[0:26:47] Voice 8: also completed yeah okay and then next up we have uh local trust

[0:26:54] Voice 8: can be standing resolutions on housing enforcement with a staff report uh on page 18.

[0:27:05] Voice 8: this is fairly um it's planned for that we've been trying to deal with this for a little while and

[0:27:11] now you know that the community's out and stuff are we going to do this this part of the same

[0:27:17] question that

[0:27:20] Voice 10: trustee allen had has been on the fao for quite some time so

[0:27:25] Voice 10: Here it is. There's a recommendation there that the LTC rescind those resolutions as listed in the first part of the report on page 18 there, and the reason for that is that the one resolution that was sort of most recently passed,

[0:27:53] Voice 10: we feel that that captures the LTC's intent and it's also clear for bylaw enforcement.

[0:27:58] Voice 10: So I can explain a bit more about the report if you like. The only other thing about this

[0:28:03] Voice 10: is that going through all of the standing resolutions, there was an additional resolution

[0:28:10] Voice 10: regarding extended patio licenses, liquor licenses for patios during COVID and since

[0:28:16] Voice 10: the provinces rescinded that public health emergency order it's sort of redundant to this

[0:28:22] Voice 10: point so just as a matter of housekeeping we added that into this report so if there's any questions

[0:28:28] Voice 10: please any questions well

[0:28:31] Voice 8: i was i was surprised that it'll actually that resolution wasn't put

[0:28:35] Voice 8: in the list of the resolutions um carried in the latest one was just mentioned in the

[0:28:42] Voice 8: summary report HL2023046 I suppose it wasn't there so I was trying to find it but

[0:28:49] Voice 8: I kind of remember what it was um which

[0:28:55] Voice 10: sorry all

[0:28:56] Voice 8: the

[0:28:57] Voice 10: resolutions that we carry but to rescind

[0:29:00] Voice 10: but the one that's going to what's the final one oh

[0:29:04] Voice 8: the one that

[0:29:04] Voice 8: which sort of replaces them all yeah yeah but where is that it is is it is i couldn't find it

[0:29:17] Voice 10: 2023 046 yeah yeah so it captures but you didn't put it in this report

[0:29:26] Voice 10: in its entirety yeah that is

[0:29:30] Voice 10: true it is not

[0:29:31] Voice 8: yeah it is captured in the adopted default

[0:29:34] Voice 8: system standing resolution report on 249 right it's in that right yeah it's in 12.6

[0:29:42] Voice 8: okay okay any other questions on on this uh this item

[0:29:49] Voice 8: we do have a motion a recommendation there may entertain a motion i'll entertain a motion

[0:30:00] Voice 8: Go ahead, Brent.

[0:30:00] Voice 8: All right.

[0:30:03] Voice 8: At the running out of the trust committee,

[0:30:05] Voice 8: we send the following standing resolutions.

[0:30:09] Voice 8: H-O-L-T-C-7-2017-011.

[0:30:15] Voice 8: H-O-L-T-C-2-0-1-8-0-7-0.

[0:30:20] Voice 8: H-O-L-T-C-2-0-2-0-0-5-5.

[0:30:26] Voice 8: H-O-L-T-C-2-0-2-0-0-7-4.

[0:30:34] Voice 8: HLT 2020-081, HLTC 2021-053, and HLTC 2021-054.

[0:30:50] Voice 8: Salute.

[0:30:51] Voice 8: Seconded by Trustee Allen.

[0:30:53] Voice 8: Any further discussion?

[0:30:57] Voice 8: Not seeing any, I'll call the question.

[0:30:58] Voice 8: All those in favor?

[0:31:00] Voice 8: And motion carries.

[0:31:03] Voice 8: Okay.

[0:31:03] Voice 8: Okay, no delegations today, and I don't think we need to have the break, because we're a little bit ahead of where the agenda thought we might be, so we won't take a break yet.

[0:31:18] Voice 8: Let's move on to applications and referrals.

[0:31:21] Voice 8: I guess the only consideration would be if there's applicants that wanted to be here that thought we were going to be getting to this a little bit later, that would be my only concern.

[0:31:35] Voice 8: I was looking at the planner to see if you know of any applicants that were planning to be here that aren't.

[0:31:46] Voice 8: No, I think everyone's here.

[0:31:50] Voice 8: Okay.

[0:31:52] Voice 3: A representative

[0:31:55] Voice 8: perhaps for Hongan Resorts, but actually no.

[0:32:01] Voice 8: I

[0:32:05] Voice 10: think we, I think if anything we should perhaps consider reordering 8.2, that's a

[0:32:12] Voice 10: Okay,

[0:32:13] Voice 9: so we can hold off,

[0:32:14] Voice 10: we'll hold off on the co

[0:32:16] Voice 8: -op to the last one.

[0:32:17] Voice 8: 8.3

[0:32:19] Voice 8: Uh, no, co-op, he's saying 8.2.

[0:32:23] Voice 8: Here, here, here.

[0:32:25] Voice 4: Oh, here, here.

[0:32:26] Voice 4: Oh, okay, so

[0:32:27] Voice 4: Team or person, sorry.

[0:32:28] Voice 4: Team or person.

[0:32:29] Voice 9: Team or person.

[0:32:30] Voice 8: Team or person.

[0:32:31] Voice 8: Team or person.

[0:32:32] Voice 8: Team or person.

[0:32:32] Voice 9: Team or person.

[0:32:35] Voice 8: just take them in order then so um on page 22 then we'll start the first one um this is a development

[0:32:46] Voice 8: permit and we're

[0:32:49] Voice 10: to find our cops okay it's true yeah this is a development permit um at the co-op

[0:32:54] Voice 10: uh and it's in the commercial center's development primary so there's no in the

[0:33:00] Voice 10: bylaws as it exists there's no exemption even for uh sorry this one is the golf i

[0:33:06] Voice 8: thought this was

[0:33:06] Voice 8: foreign the first one yes for you for you

[0:33:09] Voice 8: pardon me um

[0:33:11] Voice 10: pardon me uh okay this is a dp for um in

[0:33:17] Voice 10: the riparian areas development permit area um and uh brigantine presence there and it's um for

[0:33:26] Voice 10: development that hasn't it's not actually taking place yet it's in preparation um or installing a

[0:33:31] Voice 10: septic and then um a potential um house in the future um and so the dp is required um for

[0:33:42] Voice 10: anything supported recycling for land which includes

[0:33:44] Voice 10: the septic system obviously the applicant

[0:33:48] Voice 10: is here should the ltc wish to ask any questions the stuff um analysis puts you know puts the

[0:33:56] Voice 10: subject system would be the first thing to be installed on a lot that's complying with with

[0:34:02] Voice 10: setbacks. And, you know, the analysis of the DP guidelines are there in this report as well, which

[0:34:09] Voice 10: which staff considered to meet those as well as the wet parent area regulations, generally the

[0:34:17] Voice 10: provincial regulations. And this report has been approved by the province. So that is largely their

[0:34:26] Voice 10: the rationale for recommendation here um and if you have any questions please

[0:34:33] Voice 8: i think it's very straightforward so i'd like to just move ahead with some promotion i'll just

[0:34:40] Voice 8: check this out i just want to

[0:34:42] Voice 6: so

[0:34:43] Voice 11: i just want to know is that when that can apply for

[0:34:45] Voice 6: the

[0:34:46] Voice 6: site use permit is that when the spia restoration plan and other requirements from the report

[0:34:53] Voice 6: report will have to be done before the SEPP's issued.

[0:34:58] Voice 10: So through the chair, everything,

[0:35:00] Voice 10: any development on the lot would have to comply

[0:35:02] Voice 10: with the plan as attached to the wrapper report

[0:35:06] Voice 10: and the LTC's development permit.

[0:35:09] Voice 10: So that includes when the septic system is installed

[0:35:12] Voice 10: and then at the time the SEPP was applied for,

[0:35:15] Voice 10: for the house, it would also,

[0:35:17] Voice 10: the DP is enforced still for that.

[0:35:18] Voice 10: So it would still be subject to the DP that you issued.

[0:35:22] Voice 8: okay yeah thanks let's just go ahead i'd like to prove that the home animal trust committee

[0:35:28] Voice 8: approves issuance of p l a p 2 0 2 4 0 1 5 3 second second any further discussion

[0:35:42] Voice 8: i'll see any i'll call the question all those in favor

[0:35:45] Voice 8: motion carries. Just like that.

[0:35:49] Voice 8: So moving on the next one is the for the co-op and over to Planner Coxgate.

[0:35:57] Voice 8: Yeah thanks chair. So this

[0:36:00] Voice 10: is the right one this time. This is a development permit for the

[0:36:05] Voice 10: installation of an electric vehicle charging station at the co-op. There as the community

[0:36:14] Voice 10: knows there's a there's a large redevelopment project going on and we had chatted with both

[0:36:20] Voice 10: applicants you also at this point have a dvp and a

[0:36:24] Voice 10: dp from um from the larger redevelopment

[0:36:29] Voice 10: um work that's going to be done and we had discussed with both applicants that perhaps

[0:36:32] Voice 10: this could be combined to do it to a piece for efficiency's sake but because of funding and

[0:36:38] Voice 10: so especially for this electric vehicle station that they need to go ahead and do this separate

[0:36:43] Voice 10: permit first so that they were able to continue on with the uh the charging pedestal first before

[0:36:49] Voice 10: the rest of the development takes place so this is a commercial center's dp and um as you can see by

[0:36:55] Voice 10: the start of work we certainly consider it to meet the guidelines it's fairly you know it's a fairly

[0:37:00] Voice 10: small installation of one pedestal with two two charging cables and um yeah any questions please

[0:37:09] Voice 10: The

[0:37:10] Voice 8: first one is very straightforward. I think we can move to approve it.

[0:37:16] Voice 8: I have questions. Questions?

[0:37:19] Voice 8: I don't have to quite recuse myself. I just have a question on location.

[0:37:27] Voice 6: The site plan does not make sense because

[0:37:30] Voice 7: there's not a

[0:37:30] Voice 6: gravel pathway between the ditch and the generator

[0:37:36] Voice 8: shed.

[0:37:38] Voice 8: so what is interesting is he says grab a pathway but there's no gravel pathway there and

[0:37:43] Voice 7: then in

[0:37:44] Voice 7: terms of that one that she's with are they parking in the parking lot or are they parking on the

[0:37:49] Voice 7: other side should i show you

[0:37:55] Voice 8: them here like are they is this going to be accessed by shields road

[0:38:00] Voice 8: or is it where is the car going to park where's the code i'll use that right

[0:38:07] Voice 8: now because i don't

[0:38:09] because it it's it says one's there and then there's one there but there's a lot of things

[0:38:13] going on here this is the ones that we're talking about out here so what's this

[0:38:17] Yeah.

[0:38:23] Voice 8: Oh, that's okay. That's the beauty. All right. Okay, good.

[0:38:31] Voice 8: Just in the existing part.

[0:38:34] Voice 8: Okay, any further questions? Yeah, trustee.

[0:38:42] Voice 8: That's on the wall.

[0:38:42] Voice 8: No, it's your turn.

[0:38:45] Voice 8: Page 102.

[0:38:47] Voice 8: Okay.

[0:38:49] Voice 6: My move is that the Hornby Island Local Trust Committee approve issuance of PLDP 2024-0166.

[0:38:56] Voice 8: Moved.

[0:38:57] Voice 8: Seconded by Trustee Scott. Any further discussion?

[0:39:01] Voice 8: Not seeing any, I'll call the question. All those in favor?

[0:39:04] Voice 8: And motion carries.

[0:39:08] Voice 8: Okay, on to 8.3, starting at page 121.

[0:39:14] Voice 8: and

[0:39:20] Voice 8: Governor Cox, are you

[0:39:21] Voice 8: taking this one for

[0:39:22] Voice 8: the morning?

[0:39:23] Voice 8: Yeah, Minister, so this

[0:39:28] Voice 10: call was on the last

[0:39:30] Voice 10: agenda on

[0:39:31] Voice 10: June 14th, I think.

[0:39:35] Voice 10: And it's back

[0:39:38] Voice 10: for

[0:39:39] Voice 10: well,

[0:39:41] Voice 10: this is the restrictive

[0:39:43] Voice 10: covenant that the

[0:39:45] Voice 10: owner of the Hormiga and

[0:39:47] Voice 10: property had asked to be discharged the green roof covenant modification so you have the original and

[0:39:54] Voice 10: the modified covenant in the staff report and staff has been through it and feels that it

[0:40:03] Voice 10: it meets the LTC's objectives and you can see the amended if you'd like to go through that

[0:40:10] Voice 10: you can go through the pertinent section but the recommendation is to recent is to

[0:40:16] Voice 10: discharge the previous one this is just sort of legally how it has to happen and then accept the

[0:40:22] Voice 10: new one and then you'd sign uh and accept the new company so questions

[0:40:27] Voice 8: trustee scott the original

[0:40:31] Voice 8: idea was to have the green roof on the buildings obviously but they can't do that because of that

[0:40:39] Voice 8: it's a good frame structure but they can't put it on a lower one so what they're doing

[0:40:44] Voice 8: is moving a similar area of green roof forward onto the restaurant and the pub and the other

[0:40:51] Voice 8: things i mean it just makes a ton of sense rather than a green roof up on top of a wood frame

[0:40:57] Voice 8: building to move it over there so i just think it makes very logical makes sense and so through the

[0:41:04] Voice 10: chair that's further to jesse scott's point that the covenant now requires all of the commercial

[0:41:09] Voice 10: buildings to have readers so it's so there's yeah there's recognition that no one can for

[0:41:14] Voice 10: insurance reasons it can't be on the residential portion but now the covenant is going to require

[0:41:17] Voice 10: all the commercial bills

[0:41:21] Voice 8: just any questions on this whole thing i mean i agree with this one but

[0:41:27] Voice 8: it's um when it was passed by and approved in terms of the the whole development there was a

[0:41:37] Voice 8: caveat that they were supposed to do the pub first and they haven't done that and there's never been

[0:41:41] Voice 8: any fault in that deal that wasn't a covenant per se but it was part of where it hasn't happened

[0:41:48] Voice 8: the club was still not open the buildings have been built and uh i'm just wondering how one

[0:41:54] Voice 8: could address that i don't know there's

[0:42:00] Voice 10: any remedy but i'll look to clutter

[0:42:03] Voice 10: okay thanks sir i i would have to look into like we would have to look into what um

[0:42:10] Voice 10: you know the covenants that are on i have i don't know those in detail not to know if there's a

[0:42:13] Voice 10: out a specific provision that that happened and i'm sorry but i wasn't on that file at the time

[0:42:17] Voice 10: so it just it's not in my head but we could certainly find that out and um but of course

[0:42:21] Voice 10: i would also have that given the challenges you know with the other issues on the property that

[0:42:27] Voice 10: there perhaps is something there so i'm not sure we could look into it

[0:42:30] Voice 8: justice that whole thing

[0:42:35] Voice 8: down there is not exactly sure what would you describe it but the fact we're going back that

[0:42:47] Voice 8: they weren't aware I don't understand why they might not be aware of the whole

[0:42:51] Voice 8: political issue because the art branch didn't have it either so in a sense they got kind of

[0:42:57] Voice 8: trapped by that in a way uh and it was changing sort of society's entire restitution around first

[0:43:09] Voice 8: nations issues that they didn't they and they got caught in the timeline so it sounds like an excuse

[0:43:17] Voice 8: but it's certainly a reason why partly why they're where they are now and the fact that the process

[0:43:24] Voice 8: originally the original development permit i think you're right where is that but if you

[0:43:29] Voice 8: look down there you can see where the pub goes and where the restaurant goes is right on top

[0:43:34] Voice 8: of where the archaeological site is so i think they're trapped in this thing of what do they do

[0:43:40] Voice 8: next so i think we can pry the lid off that legal question but i don't think we'd get an answer

[0:43:47] Voice 8: would probably help anybody so i think this is an issue about a sleeping dog lie let this get fixed

[0:43:55] Voice 8: and maybe something can evolve over time from that place because it's i can't think of anything else

[0:44:04] Voice 8: so i'm willing to make the motion on this just to get this i feel this is something that is

[0:44:09] Voice 8: motion service that issue yes go ahead oh there it is global but the hornby idaho trust committee

[0:44:21] Voice 8: released registered restricted covenant ca2090177 to replace it with the amended restricted covenant

[0:44:31] Voice 8: is attached to this report by authorizing the chair of the hornby idaho trust community as

[0:44:36] Voice 8: signatory for their respective release and acceptance of the documents now second okay

[0:44:43] Voice 8: seconded discussion anything further all right i've called the question

[0:44:50] can i

[0:44:53] Voice 8: just add one of those sure it's motion carried i read this this morning at

[0:44:59] Voice 8: 5 00 a.m about four times to try to figure out what those words meant

[0:45:06] Voice 8: so i'm not running for re-election again but if i was i'd want to get a point for that

[0:45:12] Voice 8: figuring out what all those words mean but i think it's the right thing to do okay so next up

[0:45:19] Voice 8: uh we have the frontage waiter for discussion and reconsiderations during page 152

[0:45:26] Voice 8: and over to Planner Cox.

[0:45:28] Voice 10: Thanks, Chair.

[0:45:31] Voice 10: This was another request by the LTC

[0:45:33] Voice 10: to bring this back to this meeting.

[0:45:35] Voice 10: There was a recommendation from the previous staff report

[0:45:38] Voice 10: and a lot of us intended to issue the waiver.

[0:45:41] Voice 10: And so this is back for discussion.

[0:45:46] Voice 10: And I think I would just preface that

[0:45:49] Voice 10: by saying that the staff report perhaps

[0:45:53] Voice 10: was somewhat misleading

[0:45:55] Voice 10: leading in that there it did state that um the road construction would need to happen if the

[0:46:01] Voice 10: subdivision were to be approved by mrci but that's that's not really the case it's actually it's up

[0:46:05] Voice 10: to the ministry of transport and the provincial approving officer as to whether that would

[0:46:11] Voice 10: actually be required or not this is their jurisdiction to decide what kind of access

[0:46:16] Voice 10: needs to happen for any given so um and then secondly the 10 percent number is sort of a

[0:46:24] Voice 10: a drawdown from the local government act like that's what the local government act states is

[0:46:28] Voice 10: the sort of default frontage that's necessary and most local governments use that number

[0:46:33] Voice 10: um you know unless for some specific reason they decide to to to change that for for one reason or

[0:46:41] Voice 10: another but um that sort of illustrates the in a way that most local governments are sort of

[0:46:47] Voice 10: drawing this this uh default number down it sort of illustrates their ultimate authority

[0:46:53] and jurisdiction over access in a subdivision,

[0:46:57] unless a local government really has a specific reason to change that.

[0:47:02] Voice 10: And I'd also add just to coming out of the discussion in the last meeting

[0:47:08] Voice 10: that the applicant is not applying for rezoning, right?

[0:47:15] Voice 10: It's going to remain R2 large lot zoning on both the proposed properties.

[0:47:22] Voice 10: So that comes with, you know, the permitted uses and the density under the R2 zone. So that doesn't change. That remains the same.

[0:47:32] Voice 10: And if you have any other questions, the applicant is also here.

[0:47:37] So these questions.

[0:47:39] Voice 6: So when did we approve it and go to provincial agency?

[0:47:43] Voice 6: see

[0:47:44] Voice 8: three

[0:47:45] Voice 10: check if the LTC decides to give the waiver then then the next step is if the

[0:47:53] Voice 10: applicant continues with MOCI and the approving officer yeah yeah

[0:47:57] Voice 4: and

[0:47:58] Voice 11: then Grant and I what you

[0:48:00] Voice 11: know why we didn't approve last time because we had concerns with the neighbors um have was there

[0:48:06] Voice 11: any some formalized content with the neighbors or was it just a matter of just me

[0:48:09] Voice 8: to hear from

[0:48:22] Voice 8: the neighbors

[0:48:23] Voice 8: and those four acres of the neighbors are never going to see it here

[0:48:38] so there'd be no no effect the roads that are in place already are in place so if the department

[0:48:47] of transport asks me to develop the roads instead

[0:48:52] Voice 8: of what my intentions would be is to find

[0:48:56] Voice 8: very low key alternate road access and stay from anderson drive so that there's no impact at all

[0:49:06] Voice 8: all by a road development that's already legally in place.

[0:49:12] Voice 8: So anyway, if this waiver is approved,

[0:49:15] Voice 8: we would be pursuing this with the Department

[0:49:18] Voice 8: of the Ministry of Transportation and Highways

[0:49:20] Voice 8: to make sure we work together to come up with a low impact road

[0:49:28] Voice 8: access as possible.

[0:49:31] Voice 8: Justice Gell, do you have a question?

[0:49:34] Voice 8: Well, we could then approve this subject

[0:49:38] Voice 8: to what you just said do you reaching out to the minister it's a transport of the highways department

[0:49:45] Voice 8: for me the mystery of transportation and infrastructure the highways

[0:49:52] Voice 8: highway's name hasn't been in the name for a while to ensure that the older version

[0:49:56] Voice 8: okay to ensure that the road that goes in there i don't quite have the word but

[0:50:02] Voice 8: something we can tag on to this resolution that we read all this out comma at the end of 2014

[0:50:13] Voice 8: subject to the proponent reaching out to the ministry of transport to ensure

[0:50:22] Voice 8: that the road layout is safe public access and use through

[0:50:36] Voice 10: the chair of the defense

[0:50:37] Voice 10: You can, the LCC can absolutely include that wording. It's, it's, it's not, it's, you know, it's understood that the approving officers authority is to ensure that the public, public access, safe public access in the university.

[0:50:59] Voice 10: didn't mean so in 20 seconds sure you can you can be

[0:51:03] Voice 8: at it but that's basically your job at the

[0:51:05] Voice 8: door points it out from here if you want to just to grace over there in the audience well i assume

[0:51:13] Voice 8: you know the uh as better cough states um the ministry of transportation

[0:51:20] Voice 8: education at highway's approving officers and the planners are always in my past experience

[0:51:29] Voice 8: of working with them they always look for the best solution in terms of where the law is

[0:51:38] Voice 8: what the surrounding environment is um they are always going to be aiming for the

[0:51:45] Voice 8: the least impact access solution but they will never you know say hey and even do a

[0:51:55] Voice 8: paid highway here this is a country rural area and all we're talking about is the typical access to

[0:52:05] a car to get to the to the home that's just more than that though

[0:52:09] Voice 8: you gotta get emergency vehicles

[0:52:12] Voice 8: in there you've got to be able to get fire trucks in there you've got so it's more than just the

[0:52:16] Voice 8: car getting out of the house and uh maybe that sounds too simple but absolutely i think i think

[0:52:28] Voice 8: the warning here covers that off the public use and safety yeah if

[0:52:34] Voice 8: there's no objection to that

[0:52:36] Voice 8: up running on that so do you want to make the motion i will warmly local trust committee exempt

[0:52:44] Voice 8: proposed one and two of lot seven section nine on the island and i will district plan two five

[0:52:52] Voice 8: seven three six except part of plan vip eight nine two four two of subdivision hos sud dash

[0:53:03] Voice 8: computer guide mason and grayson from the 1 10th perimeter provision of section 512 of the local

[0:53:14] Voice 8: government act and subsection 6 6 bracket 1 of the hornby island land use bylaw number 152 14

[0:53:23] Voice 8: subject to

[0:53:25] Voice 11: proponent reaching out to ministry of transportation infrastructure to ensure

[0:53:30] Voice 11: sure the road layout is safe public access at least okay

[0:53:34] Voice 8: is that a

[0:53:37] Voice 8: proponent or is that an

[0:53:39] Voice 8: applicant is he a proponent or are you an applicant both i'm sorry

[0:53:46] Voice 4: i

[0:53:46] Voice 8: don't i don't think it's material at this point

[0:53:56] Voice 8: applicant's probably more accurate yeah yeah okay so we'll take that as a vote

[0:54:00] Voice 8: i'll second second uh any further discussion um i

[0:54:08] Voice 6: just this is just a safeguard because i'm

[0:54:10] Voice 6: assuming this is already going to go play out but without okay yeah that's all right yeah that's it

[0:54:17] Voice 8: uh trustee scott i'd just like to say that this morning again i'm not at five a little later but

[0:54:23] Voice 8: i reached out to i'm not going to say who on the island but somebody who really is involved in

[0:54:29] Voice 8: traffic and safety and vehicles and all that stuff and i asked him went through the maps with him

[0:54:37] Voice 8: and he did not see any problem with the access the way we ordered it so that's hardly that's

[0:54:45] Voice 8: where my comfort came to be able to do that so just to let you know i didn't bring it so

[0:54:52] Voice 8: myself

[0:54:52] Voice 9: okay uh thank you for that anything further all right i'll call the question

[0:54:57] Voice 9: all those in favor and the motion carries

[0:55:00] Voice 8: so next uh i have the page 171 uh denman uh bylaw referral

[0:55:16] Voice 4: chair

[0:55:17] Voice 10: i don't have a lot to um add here this is um um this is coming from planner and her

[0:55:25] Voice 10: uh from denman this is their bio referral and it just it basically just needs a resolution to

[0:55:30] Voice 10: accept so they don't

[0:55:35] Voice 10: have a lot to

[0:55:36] Voice 8: add unless you have questions okay on page 173 we basically just

[0:55:42] Voice 8: need to make a motion to accept some of those options generally in these cases i'd say it'd

[0:55:47] Voice 8: probably be uh it was unaffected by bylaw correct if that was yes if that's if that's one of those

[0:55:55] Voice 8: local trustee yes let's see scott you'll see your hand here

[0:56:00] Voice 8: oh i thought i thought you were raising that's okay i don't have any problem with it so whatever

[0:56:07] Voice 8: one of these four approvals recently moved that the hornby island local trust committee

[0:56:16] Voice 8: respond to the referral from the denman island local trust committee

[0:56:21] Voice 8: um that interests are unaffected by byline you know wording i would suggest okay yeah

[0:56:30] Voice 8: second uh any discussion not seeing any i'll call the question all those in favor

[0:56:42] Voice 8: and that motion carries as well okay um next we're on to section nine uh i feel like we're

[0:56:57] Voice 8: doing pretty good on time here so i i don't think uh i'm at this point i don't know that we need to

[0:57:03] Voice 8: defer any of these items because i think we're we're speeding along quite nicely here

[0:57:08] Voice 8: so let's start with 9.1 uh community heritage register or 174 work to flatter cops

[0:57:20] Voice 10: um yeah this is a report that is um recommending the adoption

[0:57:27] Voice 10: on this minor project as well um this uh the register was developed with um the community

[0:57:36] Voice 10: committee of uh of course and uh it includes four sites the community hall um this building

[0:57:46] Voice 10: the Hornby School and Tribune Bay Lodge as well and if you have questions about the reasons for

[0:57:56] Voice 10: inclusion of those of course they're the rationale and the statements of significance are included

[0:58:01] Voice 10: in the report that committee was tasked with with doing that work I think one other big thing to

[0:58:07] Voice 10: point out and I'll be hearing from planners about your major projects coming up and the First

[0:58:12] Voice 10: Nations engagement piece on this because that that is a question and it's something that we

[0:58:18] Voice 10: discussed a lot about how to negotiate like this is a heritage project and so you know ultimately

[0:58:26] Voice 10: one would be thinking okay this is an opportunity to be engaged of course with Comox but the way

[0:58:30] Voice 10: that you'll recall from the last report on this the way that the allocation of funds and that and

[0:58:38] Voice 10: especially for engagement with COEX, is sort of being funneled into this major project,

[0:58:41] Voice 10: LUBO CPU review. So the reason for not fully engaging on this minor project is a for that

[0:58:51] Voice 10: reason and b that these sites can be added to this register as you go along. This is basically

[0:58:57] Voice 10: to adopt it, get some initial sites and then discussions can be had about what to add later

[0:59:04] Voice 10: and that can be done administratively and by by resolution by the LCC so uh you have the draft um

[0:59:10] Voice 10: there and tell us if you have questions

[0:59:25] Voice 8: are we going to vote each one separately or is it we can do it all

[0:59:30] Voice 8: Oh, I'll give it up.

[0:59:32] Voice 8: Okay.

[0:59:32] Voice 8: Just an old one.

[0:59:33] Voice 8: For the Hornbeam Local Trust Committee Community Heritage Register and accompanying statements

[0:59:37] Voice 8: of significance may adopt and pursue Section 598 of the Local Government Act.

[0:59:42] Voice 8: Two, and that staff are authorized to proceed with legislated notification to the BC Heritage

[0:59:48] Voice 8: Branch in accordance with Section 598 of the Local Government Act.

[0:59:53] Voice 8: Three, and

[0:59:53] Voice 7: further that, the following properties as identified by the Community Hall Committee

[1:00:00] Voice 8: and the Hornby Island Local Trust Committee be added to the Hornby Island Community Heritage Register.

[1:00:06] Voice 8: Property 1, Hornby Island Community Hall located at 4305 Central Road.

[1:00:10] Voice 8: Property 2, Hornby Island Schoolhouse located at 1765 Solins Road.

[1:00:15] Voice 8: Property 3, Rooney Road located at 2100 B Solins Road.

[1:00:19] Voice 8: And Property 4, Tribune Bay Lodge located at Tribune Bay.

[1:00:24] Voice 8: Move. Seconded by Trustee Scott.

[1:00:27] Voice 8: Any further discussion?

[1:00:30] Voice 8: No.

[1:00:31] Voice 8: I'd just like to thank the staff and the community when this was first brought to us, we weren't

[1:00:40] Voice 8: sure how we were going to shoehorn it in with our other projects, and it's great to see

[1:00:43] Voice 8: it come this far this fast, we really appreciate that staff.

[1:00:48] Voice 8: So all the questions, all those in favour, and that carries as well.

[1:00:52] Voice 8: So next is 9.2, and this is the piece I believe Clarence is speaking to, so.

[1:01:03] Planner Zupanec (probable): Yes, I am here.

[1:01:05] Planner Zupanec (probable): Hello.

[1:01:06] Planner Zupanec (probable): Hi.

[1:01:07] Planner Zupanec (probable): This is great that this is working.

[1:01:09] Planner Zupanec (probable): We weren't sure if I was going to have to call in.

[1:01:12] Planner Zupanec (probable): So thank you so much.

[1:01:13] Planner Zupanec (probable): So this staff report is to clarify for you that your major project fund for this fiscal for the First Nations Relationship Building Project has not commenced because we are still actively involved in your official community plan and land use bylaw review, which has a substantial First Nations engagement piece built into it.

[1:01:39] Planner Zupanec (probable): You currently have an approved budget of $31,500 that was approved by Trust Council in March

[1:01:46] Planner Zupanec (probable): that will be unspent, as far as we can tell, if we proceed with this major project as your

[1:01:54] Planner Zupanec (probable): primary directive, which we understand is your priority.

[1:01:57] Planner Zupanec (probable): And so we are advising you that if those funds are unspent, they are lost to the LTC in terms

[1:02:04] Planner Zupanec (probable): terms of unable to recoup or defer those to the next fiscal. And as such, we wish to advise you

[1:02:11] Planner Zupanec (probable): that Trust Policy 6.5.2, which is attached to that staff report, does allow for a local trust

[1:02:18] Planner Zupanec (probable): committee to have the discretion to reallocate funds within its own budget. Since it was already

[1:02:24] Planner Zupanec (probable): approved to you for the use of a major project, we're identifying that you already have a major

[1:02:30] Planner Zupanec (probable): project that has a substantial First Nations engagement piece built into it.

[1:02:34] Planner Zupanec (probable): The reallocation of those funds would support a very thorough legal and

[1:02:40] Planner Zupanec (probable): technical review that we're already engaged in with the nation and I'll

[1:02:44] Planner Zupanec (probable): provide an update later on in your agenda when the major project report

[1:02:50] Planner Zupanec (probable): comes up and this reallocation would be very timely as we are preparing an

[1:02:56] Planner Zupanec (probable): engagement summary report for you before the spring, so before March. And there are a number

[1:03:05] Planner Zupanec (probable): of pieces that we wish to undertake, but there just isn't sufficient resources in the current

[1:03:09] Planner Zupanec (probable): budget, which has basically been completely allocated. So there is a resolution to notify

[1:03:17] Planner Zupanec (probable): the financial planning committee about the reallocation. There's no other higher approvals

[1:03:23] Planner Zupanec (probable): required it is up to the local trust committee to make this decision if you have any questions

[1:03:27] Planner Zupanec (probable): at this time i'm happy to try to support your decision on this the staff recommendation is

[1:03:33] Planner Zupanec (probable): is that the funds be utilized specifically for the major project thank

[1:03:39] Voice 8: you uh trustee scott

[1:03:41] Voice 8: and my question is um i understand this about the money of reallocating it towards the ocp

[1:03:48] Voice 8: and language bylaw review to support the technical and legal review of the first nations

[1:03:57] but what about um an update

[1:03:59] Voice 8: on where the ocp and language bylaws you know later in that agenda

[1:04:05] Voice 8: is it whereas i thought it was under uh it's under active projects is that what's going to come up

[1:04:12] Voice 8: yeah okay can we move that up next to the agenda to someone's here specifically for that purpose

[1:04:19] Voice 8: i heard

[1:04:19] Voice 8: earlier was i can see why your committee said it was under 9.2 because it's part of

[1:04:25] Voice 8: the first this is specifically the first nations of the opponent well

[1:04:29] Voice 9: the active project is coming

[1:04:31] Voice 9: up as 13.1 so if the local trust committee wants to do that next i have no problem with that

[1:04:36] Voice 9: there's an objection okay

[1:04:37] Voice 8: okay okay but yes okay so i don't want to trust you

[1:04:44] Voice 8: I just

[1:04:46] Voice 6: want to ask Sonia, so in terms of notifying the financial committee, that's just notifying.

[1:04:51] Voice 6: They don't have a, they can't, it's what they say.

[1:04:53] Voice 6: You know what?

[1:04:54] Voice 6: No, they don't have a say.

[1:04:55] Voice 6: What they say is what we say.

[1:04:57] Voice 6: Okay, great.

[1:04:57] Voice 6: Thanks.

[1:04:58] Voice 6: So I'd like to move something.

[1:05:00] Voice 6: Go ahead.

[1:05:01] Voice 8: I move that the Hornbein Local Trust Committee request staff perform a financial planning

[1:05:05] Voice 8: committee about the reallocation of $31,500 from the major project budget approved for

[1:05:12] Voice 8: first nations relationship building to the current major project budget for the official community

[1:05:16] Voice 8: to support the technical legal review on first nations and take all necessary steps to execute

[1:05:24] Voice 8: the re-application all right moved seconded by trustee scott uh any further discussion

[1:05:34] Voice 8: not saying any i'll

[1:05:35] Voice 9: call the question all those in favor and that carries as well uh so planner

[1:05:41] Voice 9: is it Nick? The Trust Committee would like to go ahead and hear from you on the active project.

[1:05:49] Planner Zupanec (probable): Great. No problem. Thank you. That's great timing. So there isn't a formal written report at this

[1:05:57] Planner Zupanec (probable): time. So I'm hoping that the verbal report will be sufficient for now to let you know what we've

[1:06:02] Planner Zupanec (probable): been up to. The last meeting that staff have had with the Comox First Nations staff was on September

[1:06:07] Planner Zupanec (probable): 11th. So that was just this past week. We were invited up to the First Nations office to meet

[1:06:15] Planner Zupanec (probable): with their team in person. Most of our meetings are conducted over Zoom electronically. And when

[1:06:21] Planner Zupanec (probable): I say our, I mean the regional planning team. So myself as the lead planner for your project and

[1:06:27] Planner Zupanec (probable): the lead planner for the Denman project are always meeting together at the same time because the

[1:06:31] Planner Zupanec (probable): The nation does not differentiate the two, the political boundaries between the two islands.

[1:06:36] Planner Zupanec (probable): At this time, the issues are cross-jurisdictional, and it makes a lot of sense to be discussing the issues that apply to both those islands at the same time versus separating them out the way we do with our projects and decision makings.

[1:06:49] Planner Zupanec (probable): So at all times, we're discussing issues that are relevant to both island local trust areas, just so you're aware.

[1:06:57] Planner Zupanec (probable): So the data sharing agreements have finalized, been finalized.

[1:07:01] Planner Zupanec (probable): So we are now in receipt of what you've just received, the first paper.

[1:07:06] Planner Zupanec (probable): It's a confidential paper on mitigation of impacts to cultural heritage on Denman and Hornby Islands, written by the archaeologist and staff at the Comox First Nation.

[1:07:18] Planner Zupanec (probable): So that is an important piece of information that's come directly out of the engagement for Hornby and Denman, out of your budgets for the OCP reviews,

[1:07:26] Planner Zupanec (probable): So that they were able to spend the time on the ground to determine the priority areas for both those islands and the mitigation options that they're looking for us to review as part of the OCP LUB review project so that when we finalize those recommendations with them and they come back to you, you are confident that those recommendations have been legally vetted and are implementable.

[1:07:49] Planner Zupanec (probable): So that's what we're working towards.

[1:07:51] Planner Zupanec (probable): So this paper is the first opportunity for them to formally provide you with their top

[1:07:58] Planner Zupanec (probable): priority areas and issues that they're resourcing and trying to address.

[1:08:01] Planner Zupanec (probable): So hopefully you've had a chance to review that or will be in the short term.

[1:08:07] Planner Zupanec (probable): So the data sharing agreement is complete.

[1:08:10] Planner Zupanec (probable): We're receiving data from them.

[1:08:11] Planner Zupanec (probable): We're able to share with them all and every relevant data set that they wish to access

[1:08:17] Planner Zupanec (probable): access to help advance their analysis of the issues and opportunities for Denman and Hornby

[1:08:23] Planner Zupanec (probable): Island. We're having regular standing meetings, so our next one will likely be November. We're

[1:08:29] Planner Zupanec (probable): trying to do every six weeks or so, so that we can go away, do the work, come back to the table and

[1:08:35] Planner Zupanec (probable): identify what we found or researched and how we can address their concerns. They are doing a public

[1:08:42] Planner Zupanec (probable): presentation on denman on november 3rd in cooperation with the conservancy related to the

[1:08:48] Planner Zupanec (probable): chip program and chip is the acronym for the cultural heritage impacts uh permit that we

[1:08:55] Planner Zupanec (probable): administer in their support in um redirecting applicants to obtain when they're doing any land

[1:09:03] Planner Zupanec (probable): alterations on denman or hornby island so they've asked if they can attend your next meeting on

[1:09:09] Planner Zupanec (probable): November the 1st as part of that public presentation instead of doing it as a separate

[1:09:13] Planner Zupanec (probable): date or time that perhaps because this is recorded it's then accessible available to anybody on the

[1:09:20] Planner Zupanec (probable): island and they can duplicate the information specific to Hornby even though there's not a lot

[1:09:26] Planner Zupanec (probable): of subtle nuances for them to sort out there it's very relevant across their entire territory so

[1:09:31] Planner Zupanec (probable): we will be putting that on your draft agenda for approval so when the draft agenda for that

[1:09:35] Planner Zupanec (probable): That November 1st meeting comes out, if you can indicate whether or not you would support that at that time.

[1:09:40] Planner Zupanec (probable): But I'm just giving you a heads up.

[1:09:42] Planner Zupanec (probable): We're hoping to earmark an hour of that meeting so that they can either attend in person.

[1:09:46] Planner Zupanec (probable): This would be the referrals coordinator staff and possibly another staff person who would conduct that meeting, as well as a Q&A.

[1:09:54] Planner Zupanec (probable): So it would be like a presentation and a question and answer session, and they're estimating it to be about an hour.

[1:09:59] Planner Zupanec (probable): So we're hoping that we could do that before the end of the year.

[1:10:02] Planner Zupanec (probable): Otherwise, we'll look for an alternate public meeting opportunity date, and it may have to be digital as well due to travel logistics.

[1:10:11] Planner Zupanec (probable): There are other topics that are sort of related to the OCP and LUB review or sort of public outreach.

[1:10:17] Planner Zupanec (probable): They're always curious and interested in opportunities to do more in the interim because it takes a while for these recommendations to come to the local trust committee and then be implemented into actual policy or regulatory changes.

[1:10:30] Planner Zupanec (probable): Yet in the interim, there's still a pressing need to ensure that residents understand how land alterations impact the First Nations interests. So we're trying to keep that dialogue open and flowing so that we can find short term solutions to that in our regional planning managers at the helm of that, because that's not actually within the scope of the project that I'm managing on your behalf.

[1:10:52] Planner Zupanec (probable): so renee jamara would be the lead for those discussions and we're deeply involved in a

[1:11:00] Planner Zupanec (probable): technical analysis of the heritage conservation areas tool in the local government act and how

[1:11:04] Planner Zupanec (probable): that could support hornby denman gambier gabriola who are all local trust areas that are curious to

[1:11:13] Planner Zupanec (probable): explore how to implement that tool because the the first nations issues that need to be addressed

[1:11:19] Planner Zupanec (probable): seem to only be able to be addressed adequately using that tool perhaps so we'll be providing you

[1:11:25] Planner Zupanec (probable): with a comprehensive summary of how that tool could work and we're just working with the nation

[1:11:29] Planner Zupanec (probable): right now to explain that and sort out sort of the issues and opportunities related to that level of

[1:11:38] Planner Zupanec (probable): provincial legislation that local governments can use so things are moving along really well

[1:11:46] Planner Zupanec (probable): the capacity funding that was supported to Comox has been instrumental in bringing everybody to

[1:11:51] Planner Zupanec (probable): the table in a timely way and to allow for this open dialogue between staff and provide a really

[1:11:58] Planner Zupanec (probable): seamless workflow. So we just want to reiterate how interesting and supportive this pilot has

[1:12:06] Planner Zupanec (probable): been and sort of reversing the order of which we do the engagement with the nations at the very

[1:12:11] Planner Zupanec (probable): beginning of the project. So thank you for that. If you have any questions, I can answer them at

[1:12:15] Planner Zupanec (probable): this time.

[1:12:17] Voice 12: Thank you very much, Trustee Allen. Thanks for that, Sonia.

[1:12:23] Voice 6: When we did have our

[1:12:24] Voice 6: last meeting with Clomox First Nation in person, they did mention signage, that they wanted

[1:12:32] Voice 6: signage, cultural signage at Buckley Bay, and I just don't want to forget about that,

[1:12:36] Voice 6: and I just want to know how

[1:12:38] Voice 8: we can address that within this whole scheme of things, because

[1:12:44] Voice 8: because we did pass a motion many years ago regarding signage on Hornby Island,

[1:12:49] Voice 8: and that sort of got forgotten too.

[1:12:51] Voice 8: So I just want to ask

[1:12:53] Voice 11: you how we can address this.

[1:12:57] Planner Zupanec (probable): Is that

[1:12:58] Planner Zupanec (probable): related to BC Ferries?

[1:13:00] Voice 11: No.

[1:13:00] Planner Zupanec (probable): Okay.

[1:13:01] Planner Zupanec (probable): There was a mention about sort of BC Ferries and signage and interest,

[1:13:06] Planner Zupanec (probable): but what I can do is I can just add this to our running list

[1:13:10] Planner Zupanec (probable): and see if there's any further follow-up.

[1:13:13] Planner Zupanec (probable): the staff have made it abundantly clear to us that right now they're trying very hard with their

[1:13:17] Planner Zupanec (probable): limited resources and staffing to address the key priority issues. There are no shortage of issues

[1:13:24] Planner Zupanec (probable): that they're being asked to weigh in on and provide input and they are deeply triaging at this stage

[1:13:31] Planner Zupanec (probable): because of the enormous ask that all levels of local government and provincial and federal are

[1:13:37] Planner Zupanec (probable): placing on their staff. So I'm happy to put it on the list to determine whether or not this is

[1:13:42] Planner Zupanec (probable): something that they wanted the local trust committee to support and further action on or

[1:13:46] Planner Zupanec (probable): if this was sort of being parked for now until they're finished their engagement with us

[1:13:53] Voice 10: i would just add to that uh that uh um this was uh there it's actually on your fual

[1:14:01] Voice 10: um and i believe that um manager john route was going to follow up with this as well so

[1:14:06] Voice 10: i'm sure that um kind of two minutes and renee can speak yeah

[1:14:10] Voice 11: i was just gonna follow them

[1:14:12] Voice 11: the bc ferry signage

[1:14:14] Voice 6: i've given up mentioning that because that's the that's the island's

[1:14:17] Voice 6: trust sign was taken off the uh growley bay um older building and it disappeared we never

[1:14:24] Voice 6: know no idea where it

[1:14:25] Voice 11: went so yeah we

[1:14:28] Voice 8: still don't have a sign island stress line justice

[1:14:33] Voice 8: it's got the questions uh first of all thanks for your update on

[1:14:38] Voice 8: what about the um housing custody on the other issues that are in the ocp language but are you

[1:14:49] Voice 8: just where are those i think people want to be on and read what you're about how we're perceiving

[1:14:55] Voice 8: those aspects as well sure

[1:14:59] Planner Zupanec (probable): so the referrals have been sent out to all the agencies and first

[1:15:04] Planner Zupanec (probable): First Nations, there is a 90-day referral period, which we'll be wrapping up at the

[1:15:09] Planner Zupanec (probable): end of November, where we'll be compiling all referral responses and presenting them

[1:15:15] Planner Zupanec (probable): back to the Local Trust Committee in a report so that you can determine whether or not you

[1:15:20] Planner Zupanec (probable): wish to make any changes to those bylaws, the OCP amendment or the land use bylaw amendment

[1:15:25] Planner Zupanec (probable): or both, and whether or not you're ready to move forward to community information meeting

[1:15:29] Planner Zupanec (probable): public hearing.

[1:15:30] Planner Zupanec (probable): So your Advisory Planning Commission will also be meeting to review that referral package in the short term.

[1:15:36] Planner Zupanec (probable): Planner Cox may have the date handy to help me out here.

[1:15:40] Planner Zupanec (probable): And that will also form part of the summary report back to the Local Trust Committee.

[1:15:47] Voice 8: So it's been referred to the APC, to our APC?

[1:15:51] Voice 8: Correct.

[1:15:51] Planner Zupanec (probable): All the referrals have been sent out already, yes.

[1:15:58] Voice 10: the apc date is the 24th of september and this is the issue solely that we're going to be

[1:16:07] Voice 10: discussing for that meeting so

[1:16:09] Planner Zupanec (probable): that's a public meeting all are welcome to observe

[1:16:11] Planner Zupanec (probable): the apc will be conducting their business and the local trust committee members are welcome to

[1:16:20] Planner Zupanec (probable): attend as well as observers in that capacity and staff will just be attending to support

[1:16:26] Planner Zupanec (probable): the APC with any technical questions or process issues.

[1:16:29] Voice 9: One question on that is that going to be

[1:16:34] Voice 9: is it going to be streamed at all or all strictly in person?

[1:16:39] Planner Zupanec (probable): APC meetings are required to be conducted in person due to some legislation

[1:16:44] Planner Zupanec (probable): issues that we're trying to interpret so it will be an in-person meeting staff are able to attend

[1:16:50] Planner Zupanec (probable): and support electronically or digitally,

[1:16:53] Planner Zupanec (probable): but the actual APC members who are voting must be in person.

[1:16:56] Voice 12: Okay, I was just wondering about

[1:16:58] Voice 12: whether trustees could attend

[1:17:00] Voice 12: just to listen electronically.

[1:17:04] Planner Zupanec (probable): We can look into what that looks like for support.

[1:17:07] Planner Zupanec (probable): I'm not sure that we are able to provide support

[1:17:09] Planner Zupanec (probable): for Zoom or electronic-based APC meetings at this time.

[1:17:15] Voice 12: And what was the date on that?

[1:17:17] Voice 8: again the 24th what time i will that's

[1:17:39] Voice 5: the question is the public allowed to speak at that

[1:17:42] Voice 5: meeting

[1:17:43] Voice 9: that's uh in general apc meetings um don't have a public comment section but if the

[1:17:52] Voice 9: i believe um if a member of the apc requests the chair to invite specific

[1:18:03] Voice 9: to speak at an abc meeting they can but it's not like they don't have a public comment session like

[1:18:10] Voice 9: um

[1:18:11] Voice 8: lcc meetings too okay can you request to be a delegate at the meeting to speak at the

[1:18:18] Voice 8: pc meeting like people on housing there's all right i see and that's right smack that's that's

[1:18:28] Voice 8: also first our first day at trust council so it would be extremely difficult for us to

[1:18:33] Voice 8: be in two

[1:18:33] Voice 8: places at once even digitally um if what i would suggest is if anyone wants to speak to the apc

[1:18:41] Voice 8: should probably contact the chair as because i believe it's the chair is the person that make

[1:18:48] Voice 8: that determination it is possible

[1:18:52] Voice 5: like when

[1:18:53] Voice 5: it goes like is it time for public comments to go

[1:18:58] Voice 5: to the apc or that comes back

[1:19:00] Voice 8: this is the referrals this meeting's about the referrals

[1:19:06] Voice 8: like the referral from the local trust committee to the apc and their response to the referral yes

[1:19:12] Voice 8: so this is whatever's in that referral package as the apc elected a chair so i understand that

[1:19:21] Voice 8: they haven't

[1:19:22] Planner Zupanec (probable): we're going to do that at the very beginning of their meeting so staff will be

[1:19:25] Planner Zupanec (probable): supporting them in their elections of a chair vice chair secretary and then they can conduct

[1:19:30] Planner Zupanec (probable): their meeting if they're unable to do the elections then uh planner cox or

[1:19:34] Planner Zupanec (probable): i will sit

[1:19:34] Planner Zupanec (probable): in and chair the rest of the apc deliberations for the referral and they so

[1:19:41] Voice 8: that'll be on the

[1:19:42] Voice 8: 24th when a chair will be right yeah yeah okay 10 a.m to 11 30 is the schedule

[1:19:49] Voice 8: 10 10 to 11 30 is the time you're right trust the hour you know just to follow up with grants

[1:19:57] Voice 8: and april's concerns i was on apc many moons

[1:20:01] Voice 11: ago in 2004 and it was on vacation rentals actually

[1:20:04] Voice 11: and um we actually did have you know matthew frederick from fort code we had

[1:20:10] Voice 6: one of bishops

[1:20:16] Voice 8: Well, the

[1:20:17] Voice 9: difference is, is that it's essentially by it's not my resolution, but it's it's by

[1:20:24] Voice 9: permission. And that is up to the to the ABC, as opposed to like our meetings were basically

[1:20:31] Voice 9: whoever shows up,

[1:20:33] Voice 8: we give them an opportunity. It's a little bit of a question for Sonia.

[1:20:38] Voice 8: yeah so

[1:20:39] Voice 11: sonia regarding um capacity

[1:20:42] Voice 8: of conversations regarding and i said that

[1:20:44] Voice 8: you know the science of parker bay and various other initiatives can we not apply for the community

[1:20:49] Voice 8: funding to for this particular endeavor yes

[1:20:56] Planner Zupanec (probable): our regional planning manager is tasked with

[1:20:59] Planner Zupanec (probable): looking into how the the deadlines i think they're coming up for the c2c funding which

[1:21:06] Planner Zupanec (probable): community to community funding coincide with all the other work that's happening there is interest

[1:21:13] Planner Zupanec (probable): at the Comox First Nation for that funding to be applied for with the local trust areas however I

[1:21:20] Planner Zupanec (probable): think yeah there's some some deadlines that Renee's looking into so she she'll be the lead on that and

[1:21:26] Planner Zupanec (probable): she'll be reporting back to the nation and to yourselves about whether or not you're willing

[1:21:30] Planner Zupanec (probable): to move forward with that and this could be captured in that there's again ideally this is

[1:21:36] Planner Zupanec (probable): addressing the key priority pressing issues that the nation wants us to focus on so i'm not sure

[1:21:42] Planner Zupanec (probable): where the signage fits in on that list thank

[1:21:46] Voice 8: you oh uh so is

[1:21:52] Voice 9: there anything else

[1:21:53] Voice 8: on this item before

[1:21:54] Voice 8: we move on no

[1:21:55] Planner Zupanec (probable): just that if you had any questions as we move forward please reach out to me directly

[1:21:59] Planner Zupanec (probable): as we go there's lots happening between your meetings and i'm happy to to answer questions

[1:22:04] Planner Zupanec (probable): same with the public if there's questions from the public about the status of the official

[1:22:12] Planner Zupanec (probable): short-term vacation rentals chicken cisterns uh please contact me directly there will be a report

[1:22:44] Voice 8: Yeah.

[1:22:48] Voice 8: I

[1:22:49] Voice 5: have a question.

[1:22:53] Voice 5: My law enforcement for illegal

[1:22:56] Voice 3: rentals, those resolutions.

[1:31:11] Voice 3: briefing on the dark sky principles adoption

[1:31:14] Voice 8: advocacy uh trustees might remember this from

[1:31:19] Voice 8: trustee morrison at trust council this

[1:31:21] Voice 9: is just a briefing it's not a request for decision

[1:31:23] Voice 9: or anything today uh just check and see if staff has anything i want to add to

[1:31:28] Voice 9: the information presented here i'll just uh mention that this has come up to as as uh

[1:31:36] Voice 8: uh

[1:31:38] Voice 9: directed by trust councils is coming up to all the local trust committees um some interesting

[1:31:44] Voice 9: points i think were raised uh when we

[1:31:46] Voice 8: talked about this earlier in the week on galliano

[1:31:50] Voice 8: that this is not just uh the the human factor of being able to enjoy the night sky but also

[1:31:59] Voice 8: So there's implications of excessive lighting for wildlife,

[1:32:05] migratory birds,

[1:32:06] Voice 8: insects, other animals.

[1:32:10] Voice 8: And also the knowledge that our rural communities don't suffer perhaps

[1:32:19] Voice 8: as much from light pollution as urban centers,

[1:32:23] Voice 8: but nonetheless it's an interesting initiative.

[1:32:27] Voice 8: Trustee Allen?

[1:32:29] Voice 6: Well, I'll say that our OCP policies,

[1:32:32] Voice 8: we have 3.1.7, the CBRD's request to continue to maintain and enforce the following.

[1:32:38] Voice 8: There's a list, and one was C, the dark skies in rural areas, lighting standards.

[1:32:42] Voice 8: Also, another B, 3.2, uses prohibited in all zones.

[1:32:47] Voice 8: W, exterior lights and illuminates surrounding properties or highway.

[1:32:50] Voice 8: The deal is, I've been bringing up with the police, RCMP, everybody meeting with the regional districts,

[1:32:56] Voice 8: and it's a frustrated building right across the road here if you

[1:33:03] Voice 7: drive in them i drive with this

[1:33:04] Voice 7: sign kind of block it's so obnoxious the light it goes right into your face facing the road

[1:33:12] Voice 8: and they say so about safety it's like well you know i'm running the ass part our lights come on

[1:33:17] Voice 8: our motion sensors right and then in fact i was supposed to have for legal reasons a huge horrible

[1:33:23] Voice 8: light shining on

[1:33:24] Voice 5: the above ground tanks, but I don't think it was the other housing that you see.

[1:33:30] Voice 8: There's lots of new people living here that have to

[1:33:32] Voice 5: have their lights on all night long,

[1:33:33] Voice 5: they don't

[1:33:34] Voice 8: even know it's on, and they just shine out. So I'm totally in agreement with this.

[1:33:38] Voice 8: I've been pushing it for years and it goes to remind the RCMP one more time that the lighting

[1:33:45] Voice 8: is just,

[1:33:45] Voice 7: because the school has lovely lighting at night, you know, all these other buildings,

[1:33:49] Voice 7: and it's just yeah

[1:33:51] Voice 8: so i'm totally in agreement even though we already have this in our

[1:33:56] Voice 8: ocp and levy and community plan i i'm willing to agree to pass this motion okay yeah there is a

[1:34:05] Voice 8: there's a suggested motion um page 235 uh to requesting uh interest uh or the notifying

[1:34:17] Voice 8: interested in pursuing further exploration of policy yeah so um i'm not sure about the top

[1:34:26] Voice 8: uh so it's just a

[1:34:28] Voice 8: follow-up on page 235 under follow-up there's a suggested motion there

[1:34:35] Voice 8: oh there okay okay so um my move is that the hornby island local trust committee direct staff

[1:34:43] Voice 8: to notify trustee morrison of hornby island local trust committee's interest in pursuing further

[1:34:49] Voice 8: further exploration of policy and advocacy options

[1:34:51] Voice 8: related to dark sky principles.

[1:34:53] Voice 8: So I don't know whether I should add a caveat

[1:34:55] Voice 8: even though we have.

[1:34:56] Voice 8: Well, you don't need to add a caveat.

[1:34:59] Voice 8: So moved.

[1:35:00] Voice 8: I'll second that.

[1:35:02] Voice 8: Discussion?

[1:35:04] Voice 9: Discussed.

[1:35:05] Voice 9: Discussed.

[1:35:06] Voice 9: No discussion.

[1:35:08] Voice 9: OK.

[1:35:09] Voice 9: No discussion.

[1:35:10] Voice 9: So I'll call the question.

[1:35:11] Voice 9: All those in favor?

[1:35:13] Voice 9: And that carries.

[1:35:15] Voice 8: So, next we have, um, lab use by-law set-back regulations for temporary farm stands, a verbal

[1:35:26] Voice 8: discussion with, and, uh, mention warranting and, uh...

[1:35:29] Voice 8: Did

[1:35:29] Voice 5: we just do the dark side stuff?

[1:35:31] Voice 8: Yes, we did.

[1:35:32] Voice 8: I

[1:35:32] Voice 5: totally was breathing in there.

[1:35:34] Voice 8: That's okay.

[1:35:35] Voice 8: We, we just, we just passed, uh, the motion that's in the, it was in page 253, uh, expressing

[1:35:42] Voice 8: saving interest in and further exploring advocacy and policies around dark sky yeah

[1:35:49] Voice 9: so manager damon is online with us here today so i'm going to turn it over to him and then we can

[1:35:58] Voice 9: get into the discussion uh

[1:36:01] Voice 8: mr damon go ahead good

[1:36:03] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: afternoon chair uh an issue came up uh recently

[1:36:08] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: An enforcement file, there was a complaint regarding some type of farm stand or produce stand, and in further discussions with one of the trustees, I was asked to look into it a little bit further, and going through your land use bylaw, I don't see any regulations that would say permit farm or produce stands.

[1:36:35] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: stands um some of the land use bylaws have them uh they're very common on all of the islands

[1:36:44] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: and say salt spring sorry excuse me gabriola has some very specific regulations around

[1:36:51] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: farmer produce stands as does north bender but i don't see anything like that in your land use

[1:36:59] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: use bylaw so when it comes to farm stands um what we're generally looking at is okay is there

[1:37:09] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: there's still a structure and we would say it still has to be set back from the lot line

[1:37:14] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: like any other structure unless of course there's an exemption in the land use bylaw let's say that

[1:37:21] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: you have uh in the gabriel island use bylaw or in north pender gabriel last actually has very

[1:37:28] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: extensive regulations and there will be size limits and reductions of the setback from the

[1:37:35] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: front lot line in order to accommodate produce stands or farm stands. So in the short term here

[1:37:42] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: what we've done, I talked to Director of Planning Services Stephan Cermak and we came to the

[1:37:48] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: agreement that a farm stand or produce stand should be considered a minor contravention of

[1:37:53] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: the land use bylaw and just not in our interest to pursue that type of enforcement on these very

[1:38:00] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: common stands and my recommendation would be to the local trust committee that they should

[1:38:07] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: consider adopting some amendment to their land use bylaw where it would explicitly state that

[1:38:15] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: the agriculture or farm stands are permitted you know put size limits on them and you know reduce

[1:38:22] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: the setback for them uh so that you know all this use this common use can be accommodated

[1:38:30] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: and uh so i would like to note even with the you know the director and i saying okay

[1:38:37] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: it's of a minor character the farm stand still need to be on your lot if you're going to put

[1:38:43] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: the farm stand out in the public highway right away that could pose a safety problem and then

[1:38:49] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: we would still say no you can have your farm stand but you need to have it on your lot so that

[1:38:55] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: particular file was closed because of that decision but moving forward it's something for the ltc

[1:39:02] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: to consider whether or not they want to adopt regulations specific regulations to permit the

[1:39:08] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: agriculture or farm stands over to you chair well

[1:39:12] Voice 9: thank you sir um trustees any thoughts uh

[1:39:16] Voice 9: one question i would uh look to um plan our costs or is uh something like this i mean

[1:39:27] Voice 8: uh as we go into land use uh by law review seems like a relatively minor one and there is

[1:39:36] Voice 8: a

[1:39:37] Voice 9: matter of thing that's identified there's a couple other islands that have

[1:39:42] Voice 9: some regulations around this that we might be able to sort of look at and adapt um as far as

[1:39:50] Voice 8: i think we would need to add it to the project charter to to include it in the project that's

[1:39:56] Voice 10: the thing and and um so that would be yeah that would be you know as part of that i guess at this

[1:40:06] stage that would

[1:40:07] Voice 10: be that would be amending the project charter in scope right

[1:40:13] Voice 9: items okay and

[1:40:14] Voice 9: is planners event still with us okay so we we if we wanted to do

[1:40:21] Voice 8: something on this i think

[1:40:21] Voice 8: then we'd want to check in uh with uh just to um make sure we're not if we if we wanted to add that

[1:40:30] Voice 8: to the scope of the project that it's not going to skew timelines or anything else as

[1:40:35] Voice 10: part of that

[1:40:35] Voice 10: major project i mean the other option is of course to any kind of environment you know it could be a

[1:40:40] Voice 10: well

[1:40:41] Voice 8: this one this has to be considered a minor as mr bingman said there's existing

[1:40:57] Voice 8: rules out there on the other islands i think it's very obvious what we want you're not going to be

[1:41:02] Voice 8: selling eggs on the side of the road you know and i know there were two that we we can't put it into

[1:41:09] Voice 8: some long-term process it has to be done now because people are now planning for what they

[1:41:13] Voice 8: want to do next year and two well two of the major stands on the island we're considering not doing

[1:41:22] Voice 8: it next year out of fear you know they're going to get shut down and you know you gotta if you're

[1:41:29] Voice 8: You're going to get gardening going.

[1:41:31] Voice 8: You're going to start planting this stuff.

[1:41:33] Voice 8: Sure.

[1:41:34] Voice 8: So I think we have to make this work soon.

[1:41:37] Voice 8: And I'm hoping Mr. Dingman can recommend, I think he knows what we need.

[1:41:42] Voice 8: I'm hoping he can recommend some bylaw for the next meeting that we can look at.

[1:41:49] Voice 8: And then maybe we can, if you need to adjust it to learn me, which I kind of doubt.

[1:41:53] Voice 8: It sounds pretty obvious.

[1:41:54] Voice 9: and just before we go on there uh mr jingman can you remind us it was gabriola

[1:42:01] Voice 9: and what was the other one he said

[1:42:03] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: gabriola has regulations as his north pender the other thing

[1:42:07] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: the local trust committee can consider just for public consumption they could pass a standing

[1:42:11] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: resolution stating that enforcement enforcement on non-permitted um farmer product stands

[1:42:18] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: lands would be deferred right so in the short term you would assure everybody that there is

[1:42:26] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: not going to be any enforcement by the standing resolution requiring deferment or asking for

[1:42:33] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: deferment on on this type of use until you you have time to amend your land use bylaw okay and

[1:42:42] Voice 9: that sounds like something we could probably uh pull off today i think i captured most of what

[1:42:46] Voice 9: you just said in there um so trustee yeah

[1:42:49] Voice 8: you

[1:42:51] Voice 11: know my understanding of

[1:42:52] Voice 8: this particular scenario was

[1:42:56] Voice 8: um and it was in the summer because it's on a blind spot it's the hill and so people would

[1:43:01] Voice 8: come down and a lot of it was mainly young visitors not locals that were parked on the

[1:43:06] Voice 8: side of the road and you can pull into their driveway and go and purchase stuff and a lot

[1:43:11] Voice 8: of people were doing that and so that's why this is because it was a safety issue right

[1:43:19] Voice 8: So maybe if we actually got into doing a land

[1:43:23] Voice 8: use bylaw, then that'd be something you'd maybe

[1:43:26] Voice 9: put in there like a sign saying, please.

[1:43:28] Voice 9: Well,

[1:43:29] Voice 6: she doesn't have a sign.

[1:43:30] Voice 9: Nobody, well, you can't do anything about people reading that down.

[1:43:36] Voice 5: Of course, I have a stand and have always had a stand and can always have a stand.

[1:43:41] Voice 5: but I have noticed that Saanich and a few other places have put in a bylaw saying they don't want them anymore

[1:43:49] Voice 5: and they're outlawed, I'd say, and now they are all bringing them back because the culture has been pushed out.

[1:43:56] Voice 5: So I just want to put that up, and this is where it comes in about lowering the speed limit again.

[1:44:02] Voice 5: People are going too fast, and it actually isn't the first, I hate to say that,

[1:44:16] Voice 6: I followed her and they'd go 20, 30, 40, 20, 30, 40, 30, and then they get to the school

[1:44:21] Voice 6: zone and they do 60.

[1:44:22] Voice 6: And that's happened.

[1:44:23] Voice 6: And that

[1:44:24] Voice 5: was all the summer and winter.

[1:44:27] Voice 5: I get to walk.

[1:44:28] Voice 5: I'm on the gas bar.

[1:44:29] Voice 6: I know all the cars.

[1:44:29] Voice 5: I do know two.

[1:44:31] Voice 6: Two of them.

[1:44:31] Voice 6: Okay.

[1:44:33] Voice 9: So let's get back to this.

[1:44:35] Voice 9: um so uh we heard from magic damon that there's essentially not going to be um

[1:44:44] Voice 9: uh essentially adopting a non-enforcement on farm stands but however we could pass

[1:44:55] Voice 9: that resolution

[1:44:55] Voice 8: today to reinforce that and then we could look at we could actually ask staff to

[1:45:01] Voice 8: bring us or i mean we could independently just go and look at the land use bylaws for gabriel and

[1:45:07] Voice 8: mark pender and kind of get a sense what they have and then we can decide whether we want this to be

[1:45:11] Voice 8: a minor project if we pass the standing resolution today then that gives us a little bit of time

[1:45:16] Voice 8: give some certainty

[1:45:18] Voice 9: to local farm stands um uh that until we actually get

[1:45:24] Voice 8: a an amendment for

[1:45:25] Voice 8: land use bylaw going that there won't be uh um any enforcement um so

[1:45:35] Voice 9: i think that i heard

[1:45:35] Voice 9: i think that what i heard would be um that the local trust committee uh passed a standing

[1:45:43] Voice 9: resolution to defer bylaw enforcement

[1:45:49] Voice 8: on non-permitted farm or produce stands so chair

[1:45:57] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: yes sir just to clarify it a little bit i would put it as non-permitted sighting

[1:46:01] Voice 9: non-permitted sighting sighting

[1:46:03] Voice 9: sighting they

[1:46:06] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: could have a if it complies with sighting

[1:46:08] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: regulations there's no problem with the farm stand further back in the property

[1:46:13] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: this

[1:46:13] Voice 9: in the end

[1:46:13] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: is about putting it in say a front lot line setback where it would not be permitted

[1:46:18] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: okay

[1:46:19] Voice 9: so non-permitted sighting of farm or produce stands yes

[1:46:24] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: chair i think that's better

[1:46:25] Voice 9: okay and

[1:46:27] Voice 9: um lisa could you just read back what you thought for us i

[1:46:31] Voice 11: think the hornby island local trust

[1:46:32] Voice 11: committee passed a standing resolution to defer bylaw enforcement on non-committed

[1:46:36] Voice 11: citing of farm and produce stats second

[1:46:40] Voice 8: okay

[1:46:42] Voice 9: uh moved and seconded any further discussion

[1:46:47] Voice 9: not seeing any i'll call the question all those in favor and that carries uh thank you manager demon

[1:46:54] Voice 9: in that was talking and uh so i'm going to just suggest trustees why don't we all go have a look

[1:47:01] Voice 9: at gabriel and north pender's alani's bylaws see what they've got there and then we can consider

[1:47:07] Voice 9: at our next meeting if we want to launch a minor project to amend the land use bylaws for this

[1:47:13] Voice 9: specific thing and

[1:47:14] Voice 8: in the meantime we've directed uh um deferring of any uh enforcement so i think

[1:47:21] Voice 8: that's great thanks for getting along

[1:47:24] Voice 9: right away that was great yeah so next

[1:47:27] Voice 9: up we have a

[1:47:28] Voice 9: consideration uh a letter of support for the hornby farmland trust and i'll go to

[1:47:36] Voice 8: uh trustee

[1:47:38] Voice 8: allen to see if he's got a motion for us well it's going to be on the fly i'm sorry um

[1:47:45] Voice 6: i move

[1:47:46] Voice 6: that the one down local trust committee write a letter of support for the for the farmland trust

[1:47:56] Voice 3: they're

[1:48:06] Voice 5: seeking funding they're applying for grants it

[1:48:09] Voice 9: can be a bit general because we've asked

[1:48:11] Voice 9: okay so we've added the representative to give us the points that they want in the letter right

[1:48:16] Voice 9: but that's so we're going to assume

[1:48:18] Voice 9: that they're going to do that in a timely fashion

[1:48:20] Voice 9: so i don't think we need to get super specific but we might want to add prior to the september

[1:48:25] Voice 9: 29th deadline exactly that's right

[1:48:26] Voice 6: yeah so like it was at the horn valley local trust committee

[1:48:30] Voice 6: by the letter of support for the farmland trust before grant

[1:48:38] Voice 11: application at the

[1:48:40] Voice 10: end of september

[1:48:41] Voice 10: 2024 pertaining to the shed project yeah okay

[1:48:47] Voice 9: great i think they should call it pantry on the

[1:48:49] Voice 9: and they they're calling it so we'll call it what they want to call it uh let's check with

[1:48:55] Voice 9: their recorder make sure you got that i

[1:48:59] Voice 8: know you do because you're awesome it

[1:49:00] Voice 11: might be a bit of a

[1:49:01] Voice 11: tweaking um what i have um chairman is on the island local trust committee write a letter of

[1:49:07] Voice 11: support for the farmland trust the shed project grant application prior to the september 29th

[1:49:42] Voice 8: The bylaws are already out for the islands.

[1:49:46] Voice 8: Can you send them to us?

[1:49:47] Voice 8: No,

[1:49:47] Voice 4: we can do that.

[1:49:49] Voice 8: You can look them up on the web, too.

[1:49:51] Voice 8: Go on through that.

[1:49:53] Voice 8: I'll

[1:49:53] Voice 10: look it up.

[1:49:55] Voice 10: We'll look it up and send it to you.

[1:49:57] Voice 10: add it to the fuel and send it to the...

[1:50:00] Voice 8: Okay.

[1:50:00] Voice 8: That's fine.

[1:50:01] Voice 8: Sure.

[1:50:03] Voice 8: Okay, next up, section 12, we have the bylaw enforcement notification, bylaw number 175.

[1:50:11] Voice 8: I have a final adoption staff report

[1:50:13] Voice 8: starting on page 239.

[1:50:16] Voice 8: And back over to Manager Jamin.

[1:50:21] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: Thank you, Chair.

[1:50:22] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: So the bylaw is ready for final reading and approval.

[1:50:28] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: EC has reviewed it, given their approval,

[1:50:33] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: and the Hornby Island Local Trust Committee

[1:50:35] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: may now adopt the bylaw.

[1:50:36] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: That's the first recommendation for you.

[1:50:40] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: and the second recommendation there is if you you already have adopted policies for screening

[1:50:50] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: officers that determine their power and duties and it's recommended that these policies be

[1:50:58] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: reviewed at this time now that you've adopted amendments to the bend by law and you may also

[1:51:04] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: wish to consider standardized bylaw enforcement policies and procedures that would replace the

[1:51:09] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: policies set in place by your current standing resolutions um so that's the second resolution

[1:51:16] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: i think it would be appropriate for you to review the policies we have put forward the uh the

[1:51:23] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: template uh to multiple ltcs now denman has adopted policies uh new policies revised policies

[1:51:32] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: policies for their island and the process now it's going through RPC into trust council they'll

[1:51:40] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: review the template and have their input on it and if this local trust committee wants we can

[1:51:47] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: continue with the process for Hornby and I can prepare those policies for your review if the LTC

[1:51:55] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: see wishes over to you

[1:52:00] Voice 6: the

[1:52:17] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: contravention there are

[1:52:20] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: contravention schedules they

[1:52:22] Manager of Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement: should be an A and B

[1:52:26] Voice 8: schedule A not schedule B

[1:52:28] Voice 8: that's why no

[1:52:32] Voice 9: schedule b starts on page 243 it's just not as big as schedule a

[1:52:38] Voice 8: it's just failing to obtain setting and use permit that's the only one on schedule b

[1:52:44] Voice 8: oh okay there you go yeah yeah okay any any further questions on the side

[1:52:55] yeah

[1:53:04] Voice 8: no i think that there's uh two motions here and i think they're separate so they

[1:53:09] Voice 8: should be made separately and motions are on page 239 is that correct

[1:53:18] Voice 6: and

[1:53:19] Voice 8: then it's the title on

[1:53:20] Voice 6: the top of to demand demand island oh

[1:53:24] Voice 8: yeah yeah the title um i know

[1:56:25] Voice 8: be on the next agenda uh will the farms before which which part of it well it's now got a

[1:56:35] Voice 9: consideration of a land use bylaw amendment but i think i think grab what we should do is we should

[1:57:04] Voice 8: but

[1:57:05] Voice 9: we've also but we've also passed this guiding resolution for different

[1:57:08] Voice 9: permanent bylaw enforcement so i mean it's good that should that should give anyone with a farm

[1:57:13] Voice 9: stand some sense of security that there will be enforcement on based on the sighting issues

[1:57:20] Voice 5: and we'll

[1:57:22] Voice 8: get into the rest we can get into the depths of that

setbacks.
