Official Community Plan Amendment and Zoning Amendment Application No. 04-01472-END-OR

An application to re-designate and re-zone Lot 1, D.L. 150, K.D.Y.D., Plan KAP61900 from Highway and Tourist Commercial to General Industrial

The proposal was outlined by the Planner, and the applicant was in attendance to answer questions from Council:

• The intended use is for storage of lumber, not for planning. It is the intent to store lumber on this site for manufacturing use on the Old Vernon Road property.
• Commercial zonings do not allow for lumber storage in large quantities. As the primary use is for storage and not retail sales, re-zoning is required.
• Ministry of Transportation access approval was for right turns in and out only.

Moved by Councillor Wejr, seconded by Councillor Ludwig that the application to re-designate and rezone Lot 1, D.L. 150, K.D.Y.D., Plan KAP61900; from Highway and Tourist Commercial (c.2) to General Industrial (I.2) not be supported.

Carried

Councillor Brookes reported on the meeting held with School District representative on June 14, 2004. All parties were in agreement that a controlled intersection at Knight Avenue is the desirable solution. The outstanding issue is whether it is the City, the School District or the Ministry of Transportation who is financially responsible for crossing guards.

Moved by Councillor Wejr, seconded by Councillor Brookes that letters be forwarded to the Minister of Transportation, the Minister of Education and MLA George Abbott requesting that full traffic signals be installed at the intersection of Knight Avenue and George Street (Highway 97A) as quickly as possible.

Councillor Brookes reported on the RCMP Consultative Committee meeting she attended on June 14^th:

• There were discussions about vandalism and Cpl. Gobeil continues to encourage residents to report incidents of vandalism to the RCMP.
• As one of the RCMP’s priorities is to enforce traffic fines, they were asked to pay attention to the Knight Street intersection with placement of a speed reading board.

• There are 2 new female RCMP Constables being assigned to Enderby detachment.

Discussion:

The administrator noted that the development application fees are higher than last year, and as a result, expenditures are also higher than estimated. Contracted planning services are based on previous year’s activities, which will create an over-expenditure before the end of the year. The 2005 requisition for planning services will be higher to cover this year’s over-expenditure.

Moved by Councillor Ludwig, seconded by Councillor Brookes that the correspondence be received and filed.

Discussion:

The administrator noted that application fees are higher than last year, and as a result, expenditures are also higher than estimated. Contracted planning services are based on previous year’s activities, which will create a deficit before the end of the year.

Keith Weston - 707 George Street

Mr. Weston circulated a photograph of the fire to Council showing the extent of the smoke and flames. He expressed frustration that the Fire Chief was not present to answer his questions directly. The following questions were posed to the Administrator who will provide a written response to Mr. Weston:

• How many complaints were received at City Hall in regards to the controlled burn?
• Why was there no notification in the newspaper or to neighbouring property owners?
• When Fire Chief Doorn was contacted on Monday morning and asked what materials were being ignited in the house, he did not know. Why?
• Was B. C. Hydro notified? And was the near by transmission line "live"?
• NORD indicated that the Demolition Permit was issued to the Fire Department. Was there any liability insurance in place to protect the City?
• Who signed the permit?
• Who is liable in this instance — the City, the Fire Department, or the property owner?
• Was a burning permit obtained?
• What was the cost to the City? ie: salaries?
• Dave Gardner of NORD was aware of demolition only. There is a connection between the Fire Department and the owner of the property who saved money by having building burned. Who benefited from this burn?
• Why isn’t the mill site on the river used to practise fire-fighting?
• Why wasn’t propane used instead of diesel to start the fire?
• Why was the Fire Chief not notified to be at this meeting?

In closing, Mr. Weston requested an apology and/or resignation of persons responsible for this burn.

Gardener Shaw - 115 Cliffview Drive

Mr. Shaw requested that Council members speak up during meetings as the public has difficulty hearing the discussions.

Duncan Walker - 813 Regent Avenue

Mr. Walker made the following observations:

• 9-1-1 operator did now know where Enderby was when call placed regarding stolen vehicle.
• Ambulance drivers often have difficulty locating addresses, often due to residents not displaying their house number prominently.
• Mardan appears to be cleaning up their property.
• Personal observation of the controlled burn on June 6 would indicate that the fire was out within a couple of hours. There was no advertising of the event to avoid spectators at the fire.

Moved by Councillor Brookes, seconded by Councillor Wejr that Council hold a meeting closed to the public in order to discuss one or more topics under Section 242.2 of the Local Government Act.

Carried Unanimously

On a motion by Councillor Brookes, the regular meeting adjourned at 8:20 p.m.
