Ph/Fax: 537-0665 8 * WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1997 OPINION GULF ISLANDS DRIFTWOOD The M-word ere's a Salt Spring crossword clue: a six-letter word starting Hwith M which means controversial. The answer is M-A-R-K.-E-T. The Dog Star Market in Fulford, which anticipates opening its gates on the May long weekend, is upholding that definition. This attempt to respond to a demand for a second open-air market on the island could be stalled by misplaced zoning. Specifically, the property is zoned C-4 instead of the C-l required for an outdoor mar ket. But changing that four to a one won't be easy, even if the property owners were willing to gamble their C-4 zoning on their new busi ness. Neither version of the community plan, current or pending, allows C-l zoning in that location. At present, the property owners aren't sure they want to switch to C-l zoning either, since the C-4 gives them other business opportunities if the Dog Slar Market turns out to be a dog, financially speaking. They'd like to get the new market operating under the property's current zoning and then make their decision. But will other islanders allow that to happen? If Salt Spring's long history of public, outdoor markets has proved anything, it has shown that a market draws controversy like rotting fruit draws hornets. Assuming the Dog Star Market proceeds without a zoning change, it's likely the infraction will be brought to the attention of the Trust's bylaw enforcement officer within a few weeks of the market opening — and the wheels of bureaucracy will begin grinding. Since those wheels grind slowly, the Dog Star Market can antici pate a significant trial period while negotiating some resolution with the Trust. PR.I FTWOOB Those negotiations might explore the value of a temporary use per mit such as that allowed by the new community plan. There is, after all, not a great deal of difference between the impact of C-l and C-4 zoning. It is likely that Salt Spring would benefit from a second outdoor Ferry advisory group pushes market.
