Subdivision (Lot Line Adjustment) in the ALR Gilmore, Guthrie Road, Area C Date: September 13, 2010

Recommendation: THAT the application for a subdivision in the ALR, to adjust the lot lines between the two parcels legally described as Lot 15, DL 188, LLD, Plan 1444, Exc Plan H10996, AND Lot 17, DL 188, LLD, Plan 1477, submitted by Nikki Gilmore, agent, be forwarded to the Agricultural Land Commission with a motion of support.

CAO Comments:

Attachments Report/Document: Attached X Available __ Nil __

Key Issue(s)/Concepts Defined:

The applicant wishes to adjust the interior lot lines between two adjacent parcels. The parcels are currently approximately 70 acres and 57 acres. The applicant would like to make one lot much larger (from 70 to 122 acres) and the other much smaller (from 57 to 5 acres). There will be no new lots created as a result of the lot line adjustments.

This type of application is specifically contemplated under the Agricultural Land Commission Policy 12, which states that: “...an approving officer under the Land Title Act, the Local Government Act, or the Strata Property Act or a person who exercises the powers of an approving officer under any other Act may authorize or approve a plan of subdivision without the approval of the commission if the proposed plan ... involves not more than 4 parcels, each of which is a minimum of 1 ha, and results in all of the following: i) No increase in the number of parcels; ii) Boundary adjustments that, in the opinion of the approving officer, will allow for the enhancement of the owner’s overall farm or for the better utilization of farm buildings for farm purposes; iii) no parcel in the reserve of less than 1 ha In effect, if the Approving Officer is satisfied that the proposal is for the enhancement of farm operations or better utilization of farm buildings, this application is not required to be forwarded to the ALC for a decision. It would simply be considered by the Ministry of Transportation as any other ‘subdivision’ application, and the authority to approve the proposal is granted to the Approving Officer under the above policy.

Background:

There are currently two houses and several outbuildings on the 70 acres lot, and one house and outbuildings on the 57 acre lot. The applicant has indicated that they would like to consolidate 52 acres with the adjacent 70 acres to create one large farm parcel, and to facilitate the sale of the house on the remaining 5 acres. Their existing fields and irrigation ditches, as well as access for farm equipment to leased lands beyond currently cut across

SLRD Electoral Area Directors Committee Meeting Agenda; September 13, 2010 Page 4 of 185 both lots. Under the proposal, they will be able to retain the fields, and separate out the house, which will allow them to continue to farm the land.

Relevant Policy:

The property is designated Agriculture in the SLRD Electoral Area C Official Community Plan. One of the objectives of the Agriculture designation is to ensure that valuable agricultural lands are preserved for agricultural purposes. SLRD OCP Policy 6.9 states that the SLRD will work collaboratively with farm property owners and their agents, the ALC, and the AAC on a case by case basis in order to limit the fragmentation of farm operations by the sale of individual parcels.

The properties are zoned AGR under Zoning Bylaw 765. The AGR has a minimum parcel size of 2ha, which the proposal satisfies.

Strategic Relevance: n/a

Desired Outcome(s): A decision consistent with the objectives of the Agricultural Land Commission and the policies and regulations of the SLRD.

Response Options:

1. The EAD may wish to recommend that the Board forward the application to the Agricultural Land Commission with either support, or non-support;

2. The EAD may wish to recommend that the application be denied and not be forwarded to the ALC.

Preferred Strategy: Option 1 with support

Implications of Recommendation

General: The application will be forwarded to the ALC for their consideration. If approved an existing farm will consolidate two titles into one, and sell a small parcel with an existing house on it. Organizational: n/a Financial: n/a Legal: n/a Follow Up Action: As per the Board recommendation, the application materials and resolution will be forwarded to the ALC, or the application will be denied and the applicant reimbursed half of their fees. Communication: As needed to be consistent with resolution Other Comments: n/a

SLRD Electoral Area Directors Committee Meeting Agenda; September 13, 2010 Page 5 of 185 BackgroundBackground Report Report Subdivision (Lot Line Adjustment) in the ALR Guthrie Road – Area C

Prepared for meeting of September 13, 2010 Report prepared by: Tracy Napier, Planner

SUBJECT: Application for Subdivision (Lot Line Adjustment) in the ALR

Applicants: Barry, Kelly and Nancy Gilmore (Lot 17) and Arthur Douglas Gilmore (Lot 15) - Nikki Gilmore (Agent) Legal Description: Lot 15, DL188, LLD, Plan 1477, Except Plan H10996, and Lot 17, DL 188, LLD, Plan 1477 General Location: Guthrie Road, Electoral Area C

Background The SLRD has received an application for a lot line adjustment between two properties on Guthrie Road. The subject lands are entirely within the ALR.

Lot 15 is approximately 70 acres (28ha) and Lot 17 is approximately 57 acres (23ha).

Proposal The applicant wishes to adjust an interior lot line in order to increase the size of their farm holding, and to facilitate the sale of a house on one of the lots. They propose to increase the size of the farm property (Lot 15) to roughly 122 acres, and decrease the size of the ‘residential’ property (Lot 17) to 2ha.

Access to both of the proposed lots would still be via Guthrie Road.

The applicant has indicated that their current farm operations on Lot 15 are actually established across the property line between Lots 15 and 17 (see attached Proposed Subdivision Plan), and that in order to facilitate the farm operations they need to consolidate most of Lot 17 with Lot 15. They state that not only are their established fields and irrigation ditches perpendicular to the property line (and partially on Lot 17), but that Lot 17 also provides them access to lands beyond that they lease for further farm operations. If Lot 17 is sold in its entirety, it will sever the existing fields. It is also possible that access to the leased lands beyond could be restricted, or be subject to the willingness of the purchaser to establish a right of way for farm purposes.

Policy SLRD OCP/Zoning

The subject properties are designated Agriculture in the Area C OCP Bylaw No. 689, and are zoned Agriculture under Area C Zoning Bylaw No. 765. The OCP contains several policies with respect to the protection of agricultural land, including the following:

6.9 In order to limit the fragmentation of multi-parcel farm operations by the sale of individual parcels, the SLRD will work collaboratively with farm property owners and their agents, the ALC and the Agricultural Advisory Committee on a case by case basis to reconcile potentially conflicting interests.

SLRD Electoral Area Directors Committee Meeting Agenda; September 13, 2010 Page 6 of 185

This policy reflects the desire to avoid the fragmentation of farms by selling off individual titles without consideration for the faring operations. This proposal is consistent with the above policy in that it is seeking to ensure that the existing farm operation will not be fragmented by the sale of Lot 17. The minimum parcel size requirement in the AGR Zone is 2ha. The proposal is consistent with the minimum parcel size. The zoning currently permits up to two single family dwellings on each of the lots (subject to the approval of the ALC). Under the proposed boundary adjustment, the smaller residential lot would only be permitted one single family dwelling under the zoning bylaw (as it would be less than 4 hectares).

Agricultural Land Commission Policy It is noted that this type of parcel line adjustment is considered under ALC Policy No 12, which states the following (paraphrased – full Policy is attached): “...an approving officer under the Land Title Act, the Local Government Act, or the Strata Property Act or a person who exercises the powers of an approving officer under any other Act may authorize or approve a plan of subdivision without the approval of the commission if the proposed plan ... involves not more than 4 parcels, each of which is a minimum of 1 ha, and results in all of the following: (i) no increase in the number of parcels (ii) boundary adjustments that, in the opinion of the approving officer, will allow for the enhancement of

the owner’s overall farm or for the better utilization of farm buildings for farm purposes; (iii) no parcel in the reserve of less than 1 ha;

Agricultural Capability The provincial agricultural capability mapping indicates that the land is rated 80% Class 2, 20% Class 4, both with excessive water as a limiting factor, and that it is improvable to 80% Class 1 and 20% Class 2, still with excessive water as a limiting factor. A small portion of the property, at the far western edge, is rated as Class 1-2 with low moisture holding capacity as a limiting factor, and is improvable to Class 1.

This rating system is based on 7 Classes, with Class 1 having no limitations, and Class 7 having no productivity. This information was gathered from the 92J/07 Agricultural Capability Map from the Ministry of Environment, Ecosystems Branch.

Adjacent Land Uses The applicant describes the adjacent land uses as follows:

North: Farming East: Residential home South: Farming West: Farming

Current Land Uses The applicant states that the current uses on Lot 15 include a single family dwelling, a trailer, several outbuildings, and farming of potatoes, hay, grain, and pasture for cattle. Lot 17 has a house and outbuilding, and is used for farming by the owners of Lot 15, as shown in the applicant’s submission.

SLRD Electoral Area Directors Committee Meeting Agenda; September 13, 2010 Page 7 of 185

REFERRALS

This application was considered by the AAC at their September 1 meeting. There was a lengthy discussion at the meeting.

The following concerns were expressed: possibility that the proposed 5 acre lot could not be a viable commercial farm, so it is effectively taken out of production by this proposal results of the land use inventory indicate that 28% of parcels under 2ha (5ac) in size are currently farmed, so there is concern that the proposed 2ha parcel is less likely to be farmed results also indicate that 72% of parcels of at least 8ha (20ac) or more are farmed

The following support was expressed: noted that the proposal is to consolidate the remainder of Lot 17 with Lot 15, thus creating a single farm property of roughly 122 acres recognition that not supporting the application could make it more difficult for the existing farm to continue operating, given the location of the fields, ditches, access roads, etc. Review of past AAC recommendations shows that lot line adjustments (where no additional lots are created) are typically supported

A motion to support the application was defeated by a tie. A second motion to request that the applicant reconfigure the application to maintain at least an 8ha minimum lot size for both parcels was also defeated in a tie.

IMPLICATIONS

Staff note the following:

This proposal is not a typical subdivision, it is a boundary adjustment that, if achieved, will better reflect the actual agricultural use of the land, consolidate separate titles into a single farm title of approximately 122 acres, and facilitate the sale of an existing single family dwelling;

No additional lots are being created;

The proposed lot line adjustment will decrease the possible density that could be achieved under the zoning bylaw

o The current zoning allows two dwellings for parcels that are 4ha or larger, so the proposed ‘residential lot’ in this application, at 2ha, would not be permitted a second dwelling under the current zoning. The way the lots are currently arranged, Lot 17, at 23ha, does meet the minimum size required under the zoning for a second dwelling, so could be permitted a second dwelling, subject to ALC approval. The proposed lot line adjustment, and creation of one 2ha parcel for residential use actually reduces the permitted density of housing on the land by making one of the parcels less than 4ha;

o Under the zoning, there is no increase in the permitted density as a result of the proposed increase in the size of the farm parcel;

SLRD Electoral Area Directors Committee Meeting Agenda; September 13, 2010 Page 8 of 185

All the lands remain in the ALR and fully subject to ALC regulations;

The two lots are currently farmed together, with fields and ditching running perpendicular to the lot lines. The proposed consolidation will ensure that the existing fields can remain intact, and support the continued operation of an existing farm;

If the lot line adjustment is not approved, the full 57 acre parcel will be sold. There is no certainty that this land would be purchased for farming purposes, and could lead to the existing fields being severed if the purchaser is not willing to lease the land;

Although it would not necessarily be vegetated, the space created on the proposed 2ha lot provides a ‘built-in’ buffer at the agricultural/residential interface;

While a 5-acre lot may not be large enough to support a commercial farm operation at this time, that does not mean that it could not be agriculturally productive;

The portion of Lot 17 that is proposed to become a 2ha lot is not likely to be a portion that would ever be farmed even if Lot 17 were to remain as it is. This portion of the property contains the house, well, septic system, accessory buildings, driveway, etc. This would likely be the footprint of the farm buildings and infrastructure that would be necessary to establish Lot 17 as an independent farm lot;

It is desirable to avoid the fragmentation of farm lands that occurs when separate titles are sold for non-farm uses. This application appears to take steps to minimize the negative impact that can occur by such fragmentation. It will create a benefit to an existing farm by rearranging the configuration of two existing lots so that the farm fields, access routes and infrastructure can be on one title. Furthermore, the residential use will be removed to a separate, smaller lot adjacent to the road and to other residential lots.

ACTION PLAN/COMMUNICATION PLAN

If recommended by the Board, the application will be forwarded to the ALC for a decision.

Agricultural Land ALR SUBDIVISION APPROVAL BY APPROVING OFFICERS Commission Act This policy provides advice to assist in the interpretation of the Agricultural Land Commission Act, 2002 and Regulation. In case of ambiguity or inconsistency, the Act and Regulation will govern.

REFERENCE:

Agricultural Land Reserve Use, Subdivision and Procedure Regulation (BC Reg. 171/2002), the "Regulation", Sections 9, 10 and 11 "Permitted Subdivisions".

Application of this Part 9 This Part applies to a plan of subdivision, all or part of which consists of land in an agricultural land reserve Subdivision approval 10 (1) Despite Section 18 (b) of the Act, an approving officer under the Land Title Act, the Local Government Act, or the Strata Property Act or a person who exercises the powers of an approving officer under any other Act may authorize or approve a plan of subdivision without the approval of the commission if the proposed plan achieves one or more of the following: (a) consolidates 2 or more parcels into a single parcel by elimination of common lot lines; (b) resolves a building encroachment on a property line and creates no additional parcels

(c) involves not more than 4 parcels, each of which is a minimum of 1 ha, and results in all of the following: (i) no increase in the number of parcels (ii) boundary adjustments that, in the opinion of the approving officer, will allow for the enhancement of the owner’s overall farm or for the better utilization of farm buildings for farm purposes; (iii) no parcel in the reserve of less than 1 ha; (d) establishes a legal boundary along the boundary of an agricultural land reserve

(2) An approving officer who declines to authorize or approve a plan must give notice of that decision to the person who made the application. (3) A person who receives a notice under subsection (2) may apply to the commission with respect to the proposed subdivision. Certification and deposit of approved plan 11 (1) If an approval is granted under section 10, the approving officer must (a) endorse on the plan a certificate acceptable to the commission, and (b) provide a copy of the approved plan to the commission.

(2) If the requirements of subsection (1) are met, a registrar of titles under the Land Title Act may

SLRD Electoral Area Directors Committee Meeting Agenda; September 13, 2010 Page 18 of 185 accept the endorsed plan for deposit

INTERPRETATION:

If approved under the Section 10 of the Regulation, the approving officer must endorse the plan of subdivision as required and provide a copy of the approved plan to the Commission. For the requirement under Section 11(1) (a) that the approving officer endorse the plan in a certificate acceptable to the Commission, the certificate should read:

"I hereby certify that this subdivision plan is approved under Section 10 of the Agricultural Land Reserve Use, Subdivision and Procedure Regulation."

Name of Officer

Under Section 11 (1) (b), the approving officer may provide a copy of the approved plan to the Commission or, alternatively, require the owner or agent to provide a copy. The Commission requires a copy of the approved plan for record keeping and ALC performance assessment.

Under Section 11 (2), the registrar of titles may accept a plan that is appropriately endorsed (as above) for deposit in the Land Title registry. The registrar need not determine that a copy of the plan has been forwarded to the Commission.

Request for Decision Background Report

Prepared by: Jeff Sabine, Planning Technician Prepared For: Board of Directors Meeting, September 20, 2010

Subject: Application for Development Variance Permit (DVP# 93)

Applicant: Merle Hoch / Mike Jensen Legal Description: Lot A, DL 6482, LLD, Plan 25230 General Location: Gun Lake, Electoral Area A

Problem Defined:

BACKGROUND The p roperty ow ner has s ubmitted an appl ication for a development v ariance per mit t o al low t he construction of an over height carport at the property legally described above.

POLICY The subject property is zoned R2 (Residential Zone II) under the SLRD Area A and B Zoning Bylaw No. 670. The maximum height for an accessory building under the R2 zone is 4.0m (13’).

PROPOSAL The applicant proposes to construct a new carport. The proposed carport has a m ax height of 4.5m (15’), which is higher than the permitted maximum height. The proposed carport is not plumbed and is not intended for dwelling. It is intended for parking only.

IMPLICATIONS The proposed structure does not appear to create a negative impact for the adjacent properties, as it is set back quite a distance from the lake, and is farther back from the water than the single family dwelling. The applicant has indicated that the purpose for the additional height is to maintain the pitch of the roof for rain and snow. Pursuant to Section 922 of the Local Government Act and SLRD Notification Bylaw 929, the SLRD has notified property owners within 50 m etres of the Subject Property of the proposed variance. Any comments that a re r eceived as a result o f t he not ification w ill be pr esented t o the B oard for consideration at the September 20 meeting.

Action Plan If approved, the Development Variance Permit will be registered against the Title, and issued. If not approved, the applicant will be advised.

Implications Of Recommendation

General:

Regulation of construction ensures health, safety and protection of persons and property.

Organizational: Follows the Building, Zoning By-Laws and Policy for completion of building permits.

Financial: Minimal impact. Loss of building permit fee. A Building Bylaw amendment is anticipated and will include a fee to discharge Section 57 Community Charter Note against land title that building regulations contravened to recover some costs.

Legal: Section 57 Community Charter Note against land title that building regulations contravened.

Follow Up Action: Advise property owner of decision. Corporate Officer to register Section 57 Community Charter Note against land title that building regulations contravened.

Communication: 1. Notify the owner 20 days prior to board meeting by registered post that their file will be going before the Board for recommendation of Section 57 Community Charter Note against land title that building regulations contravened. 2. Provide a letter to the property owner with the outcome of the Board decision. Advise all applicants at the time of the permit issuance of the Board Policy to complete all building permits with a Final Inspection or a Section 57 Community Charter Note against land title that building regulations contravened.

Section 57 – Note Against Land Title

Len and Christine Spierings, Jozef and Agnes Toebaert 7594 Pemberton Meadows Road Lot 1, District Lot 164, Plan 14712, LLD

Date: August 25, 2010

Recommendation: That a note against land title that building regulations contravened be registered against Lot 1, DL 164, Plan 14712, LLD as “the permit was not obtained or the inspection has not been satisfactorily completed” Section 57 (1) (b) (ii).

CAO Comments:

Who Votes: All.

Recommendation Report/Document: Attached

Key Issue(S)/Concepts Defined: 1. The property owners were issued Building Permit 10398 for an addition to a workshop on July 14, 2008. The maximum building area was designated as 500 square feet which is 25% of 2000 square feet as per flood exemption policy. (See attached copy of the building permit). The actual size of the constructed addition is 720 square feet. 2. One of the property owners, Len Spierings, was handed the original building permit over the counter and signatures were requested. A second request was made for the signed building permit in January 2009. A signed copy of the building permit has never been received. (See attached copy of request for signatures.) 3. A building inspection was conducted on August 26, 2008. It was noted that the building was oversized by 44% (220 sq. feet) and that the footings were poured without an inspection. The addition was completed without further inspection and no attempt was made to reduce the size of the building. (See attached inspection record.) 4. The building permit has now expired. (See attached letter requesting renewal.)

Relevant Policy: 1. Building Bylaw No. 863, 2003 “Whereas the Local Government Act authorizes the Regional District, for health, safety and protection of persons and property, to regulate the construction, alteration, repair, or demolition of building and structures by bylaw;” 2. Interim Flood Plain Management Policy – see attached. 3. Building – Policy for Completion of Building Permits – see attached.

Desired Outcome(S): 1. Place a Section 57 Community Charter Note against land title to inform future owners or persons with an interest in the property that building regulations contravened.

Response Options: 1. Place a Section 57 Community Charter Note against land title that building regulations

Stop Work Notice – #183

Beachcomber Point Resort Ltd. – Bunkhouse constructed without a building permit located at Lot 1 Five Coves

Date: August 26, 2010

Recommendation: That the Board defer court action to compel the owner to complete the building permit process or remove the building on Lot 1, DL 2007 & 5618, Plan 14180, NWD until pending litigation to resolve current financial issues with the property is concluded.

CAO Comments:

Who Votes: All.

Recommendation Report/Document: Photo Attached, Certificate of Pending Litigation, Certificate of Title

Key Issue(s)/Concepts Defined: Stop work notice was posted on July 16th, 2009 for the construction of a Bunkhouse without the benefit of a building permit. A registered letter was sent to the property owners on July 23rd, 2009, which was returned and re-sent August 20th, 2009.

At the December 14, 2009 Board meeting it was moved and seconded: 1. THAT a notice on title be registered against Lot 1, District Lot 2007 and 5618, Plan 14180, NWD as “the permit was not obtained or the inspection has not been satisfactorily completed” as per Community Charter Section 57 (1)(b)(ii). 2. If the issues are not resolved within six months commence legal action to compel the owners to: a) Complete the building permit process or b) Remove the building.

It has come to light that the owners are facing significant financial difficulties – see attached Certificate of Pending Litigation.

Motion 1 of the December 14, 2009 Board meeting has been completed and the Notice on Title has been registered – see attached Title certificate.

As the property is remote and rarely used, it is proposed to defer legal action indefinitely. It may be possible to achieve voluntary compliance with the owner or new owners in the future. The building is currently used for sleeping purposes only and is unfinished. There is no plumbing, washroom facilities or kitchen in the building.

Relevant Policy: Section 57 Community Charter Note against land title that building regulations contravened Section (1) (b) (ii).

Desired Outcome(s): 1. Completion of the building permit process. SLRD Electoral Area Directors Committee Meeting Agenda; September 13, 2010 Page 51 of 185 Request for Decision

Stop Work Notice – #183

Beachcomber Point Resort Ltd. – Bunkhouse constructed without a building permit located at Lot 1 Five Coves

2. Place a Section 57 Community Charter Note against land title that building regulations contravened to inform persons with an interest or a future interest in the property. DONE.

3. If the building permit is not issued within six months, initiate a court order to compel the owner to complete the building permit process or remove the building. DEFER.

Response Options: 1. Defer court action to compel the owner to complete the building permit process or remove the building.

2. Initiate a court injunction to compel the owner to complete the building permit process or remove the building.

Preferred Strategy: Defer court action to compel the owner to complete the building permit process or remove the building.

Implications Of Recommendation

General: Regulation of construction ensures health, safety and protection of persons and property. Section 57 Community Charter informs future owners or persons with interest in the property as to the status of the buildings or structures on a property. Final inspections deal with work you can see and generally the focus is life safety. This is a valuable tool to reduce the risk to owners or future owners. The Notice on Title has been completed.

Organizational: Follows the Building and Zoning By-Laws.

Financial: The financial implication of pursuing legal action may be in the $4,000 to $5,000 range. Costs may be recovered in the form of a judgement on the property that would be satisfied once the property has sold.

Legal: The title note has been registered so that persons interested in the property are aware that building regulations have been contravened.

Follow Up Action: Monitor the property on an annual basis to determine if further construction is undertaken. Work with the owners or future owners to achieve voluntary compliance.

Communication:

1. Contact the owner with the outcome of this Board decision.

Hi folks,

Below is an email from Ed Abels (Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts), with some history of the boat launch at Gun Lake. Tourism is no longer going to be maintaining the site at the end of Keir Rd (off Gun Lk Rd West).

Ed has discussed with the Gun Lake Rate Payers Association about taking over maintenance, and apparently it is to be on the agenda at their next general meeting. I was wondering if this might also be something the SLRD may want to consider. Our ministry is not interested in taking over maintenance of the boat launch and/or outhouse, and Ed has agreed that if no entity were to take over maintenance they would remove the outhouse.

To: Atkins, Brian L TRAN:EX Subject: Boat Launch on Gun Lake near Goldbridge

Hello Brian. I am not sure you are the person to email this note to or if it is actually in your area and if not please pass it on to someone who is responsible for right of ways, in particular, roads connecting to boat launches .

I am the Recreation Officer for the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts in the Cascades District. My office is located in Merritt and I am responsible for the management and maintenance of a network of recreation camp sites and trails ( formerly Forest Service sites and trails) on Crown land in the Merritt and Lillooet timber supply areas.

There is a boat launch located on the southwest end of Gun Lake near Goldbridge which lies in the Squamish Lillooet Regional District. This boat launch is actual part of District Lot 2410 on the Kier Road #106 , is a Crown Grant and is directly accessible from the West Gun Lake Road and was originally created by Highways. I currently maintain the site through contractual visits each spring, summer and fall season. This has been done for many years, basically from 1983 or so. Currently there is only one outhouse and some signs indicating the presence of a boat launch. No camping facilities are here just simply a boat launch. I do not maintain the actual boat launch itself nor the road to it. Here is some history which I dug up from the Ministry of Forests recreation files:

On May 26, 1983 the Lillooet district manager of highways provided permission to the Ministry of Forests to maintain the site as a recreation site but there was no official land title transfer to the Ministry of Forests. All I have is a memo and no real agreement. In 1985 the MOF tried to get the site legal and into their inventory of sites by first doing a legal clearance inquiry where the mapping folks see if there are any conflicts with private land, tenure holders etc. Well there was a conflict and the clearance was disallowed. It was deemed private land in the Lands Title office as being part of a private subdivision. The clearance actual said the following:

“Although this area lies within exterior boundaries of Yalakom Provincial Forest, it is not included as it is Land registered as “Private Land” in the LTO being part of a Private Subdivision. In order to bring this title to this Ministry, which may require the establishment of a new subdivision plan effectively removing the area from its current designation as a part of the West Gun Lake Road Plan 18564.” 85.09.26

I do not wish to bring this boat launch under title with my Ministry. As such, I will not continue to maintain this site for recreational use due to its ownership status, funding and operational constraints. This email is my initial correspondence indicating to your Ministry that no further maintenance of this area will be done effective September 17th , 2010. I would be receptive to leave the well maintained outhouse on site and some signs indicating a boat launch is present and could transfer these assets to your Ministry. Please advise.

Dear Director Gimse, P. 604 894.6135 F. 604 894.6136 Appreciating the Arts and Culture play a major role in the vitality and economic sustainability of a community, the Village of Pemberton determined to take stock of the Email: cultural landscape, laying the groundwork for a Cultural Plan by conducting a Cultural [email protected] Scan. A Cultural Scan is an overview and analysis of the community’s human and tangible cultural resources which allows for a community to understand the strengths and weaknesses of it cultural assets. This project was funded by the Village in partnership Website: with the 2010 Legacies Now, Creative Communities program. www.pemberton.ca

______With the assistance of community stakeholders, the consultant from Commonwealth Historical Resource Management has taken an inventory of the cultural assets (see attached) including arts, heritage and mountain-based recreation within Pemberton and Area C. With the community cultural resources now flagged, the Village will need clear and specific direction to identify gaps that can be addressed in moving forward with the panning stages of the process.

Upon the completion of the scan, the next step is to create a Pemberton & Area Cultural Plan which will identify programs and services that can be developed and improved in response to community needs. The Plan will support the development of community partnerships, further increase the awareness of the Cultural Sector and inform community planning and development.

Communities across Canada have greatly benefited from Cultural Planning as they have seen increased tourism, greater community and civic pride, increased development of community partnerships and positive economic impacts.

As the proposed Cultural Plan includes Area C, the Village of Pemberton is kindly requesting matching funding from the Squamish Lillooet Regional District in the amount of $5,000 to cover the cost of the next phase of this project. The funds will be used to hire a consultant to undertake this project.

If you have any questions or would like more details regarding the project, please contact me at the Village Office.

Thank you for your consideration.

Yours truly,

Daniel Sailland Chief Administrative Officer VILLAGE OF PEMBERTON

1. Introduction 1.1 Background and Project Boundaries The Village of Pemberton and the district surrounding it is located in an area that is rich in arts, heritage and outdoor adventures. The Village, incorporated in 1956, has a population of around 2,300 people. The population of Mount Currie is around 1,500 and the proximate population is around 400 including people living in D’arcy and Birken.

Appreciating that arts and culture play a major role in the vitality and economic sustainability of the community, the Village of Pemberton determined to take stock of the cultural landscape, laying the ground work to plan for the future by conducting this cultural scan and map. A ‘cultural scan’, or cultural mapping, is an overview and analysis of the community’s human and tangible cultural resources. It allows for a community to understand the strengths and weaknesses of its cultural assets. The cultural scan is presented in Section 2 of this report.

The Village, working with a stakeholder group, concluded that the cultural resources relating to Pemberton extended beyond the Village boundaries. As a result, the area which this scan focuses on is located in the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District, Area C. For the purposes of this cultural scan the boundaries of the district are south of Pemberton at the Green River MX Track on Highway 99, to the west the end of the Pemberton Meadows Road, to the east the junction of the Route 99 leading to Duffy Pass and the Lillooet Lake Road, and to the north along the Pemberton Portage Road to D’Arcy at the tip of Anderson Lake. Throughout this district residents actively participate in cultural events, the creation of art, and preservation of their local history. The many cultural organizations within these boundaries are a testament to community involvement and the depth of talent present in the area.

With Pemberton’s and its district’s array of cultural organizations, cultural venues, and heritage resources, the community is positioning itself to see the future cultivation of the cultural sector. This is enhanced by Pemberton being an attractive locale for residents and visitors alike. 1.2 Defining Cultural Resources Included in Scan

‘Culture’, in its broadest, anthropological meaning, refers to the characteristics and identity of a civilization or a society. Culture in this sense may address historical, artistic, recreational, spiritual, scientific, or economic activity, political ideology, family practices, and much more.

In its narrower sense, and the sense of the present Cultural Scan and Map, ‘culture’ denotes artistic creativity, heritage activity, and the products of both. The disciplines most often associated with culture at this level are:

Crafts (e.g., basketry and woodcarving) Traditional cultural activity (e.g., story-telling and language studies)

Heritage The collection and interpretation of history and historical artifacts (e.g., museums and interpretive centres) The conservation and interpretation of the built environment (e.g., historic buildings, historic areas, and landscapes)

In addition to Art and Heritage, this study is taking the unique approach to include mountain-related outdoor recreation as a cultural component of Pemberton and the surrounding district. This includes a range of mountain-related activities such as, snowmobiling, rock-climbing, mountain biking, backcountry skiing, horseback riding, ATV use, water sports such as kayaking and air sports such as paragliding. This report focuses on mountain-related activities that are currently represented in the area by a local organization.

The present Cultural Scan and Map addresses arts, heritage and mountain recreation. The scan focuses on organizations, facilities and events open and accessible to the general public. While some private businesses will be mentioned within the scan, the primary focus will be upon resources which are either publicly funded or funded through charitable contributions. Arts scans, heritage scans, and recreation scans are frequently undertaken separately in British Columbia. By having the vision to combine the three in the cultural scan, the Village has provided an opportunity for the community to benefit by sharing services, facilities, and resources across the disciplines and seeking opportunities for cross-pollination.

1.3 Methodology

The consultant met with members of the Cultural Scan and Map Stakeholder Committee on May 11, 2010. During the course of the meeting the group determined the parameters for the project as defined in the above section. An outline of groups and individuals to be consulted with for the project was determined. The Stakeholder group upon review of the list over the next week made additional suggestions.

The consultant interviewed over 50 individuals involved in the arts, culture, heritage and mountain recreation sectors of the community. Interviews took place in person, over the telephone and through email correspondence. Facilities were visited, observed and photographed throughout the study area. The consultant attended the Pemberton Arts Council AGM and a Women’s Institute monthly meeting. Classes were observed at both the Signal Hill Elementary School and the Pemberton Secondary School. All available published and online information sources on each of the organizations and events were researched. The Stakeholder Committee and many of the individuals and groups approached for information included in this report were given the opportunity to review the text pertaining to their organizations or events. Feedback from the responses was taken into consideration the writing of this report.

4. Conclusions

It is the intention of this report and the development of the Cultural Map to provide a complete inventory of cultural resources as defined in the introduction, for the Village of Pemberton and the surrounding area. Pemberton and the area is a dynamic and changing community where with time some of the cultural resources will change in purpose, grow or move on. An inventory of this type should exist as a living document and have the ability to be updated on a regular basis.

Through the course of collection of data for the report and map the many strengths of the cultural community as they stand today came to the surface: • There seems to be a strong demonstration of co-operation in the community with groups willing to work together and to partner to successfully host events and educational programs. This is particularly true in the inclusion of Lil’wat and N’Quatqua craft traditions being included in the public school curriculums. • Pemberton and the surrounding area has a large number of individuals per capita who are working visual artists and crafts people. The Pemberton Arts Council has over 40 members that are artist. The Lil’wat7ul Cultural Centre has identified over 130 members of their Nation who are active crafts people or performers. • Cultural events taking place in the community are well attended and supported by the local population. Many events draw close to a quarter of the local population. • At least half of local businesses support and value arts and culture in the community. They do so by hosting visual art on their premises and by sponsoring cultural events.

A few notable gaps were also observed during the collection of data: • While the community has many places to display art on a temporary guest basis, there is no dedicated public gallery at this time. It is understood the Pemberton Arts Council is working in this direction with the seasonal opening of the Art Barn as a co-op gallery. It is also understood that the Pemberton and District Museum and Archives store sells the work of local artists and crafts people. • Music education, while an important part of the elementary school curriculum, is not offered at this time in the Secondary School. • While there are spaces which can accommodate medium sized audiences, there is no easily accessible permanent stage or theatre for the performing arts. • Due to the population size of the area both the volunteer pool and the public funding opportunities are limited. • While there is support for arts and culture available on a financial level with the Village of Pemberton, the integration of arts and culture into public works is not currently part of policy. (For example instead of funding utilitarian public works projects the Village could fund art benches and bike racks and install public heritage interpretation signage or artistic elements as part of civic construction such as bus stops.) • There is no public policy (either with the Village or the SLRD) regarding the preservation of heritage buildings nor is there an inventory of the structures.

As Pemberton and the area continues to grow it is important that both its governance and citizens understand that the cultural assets identified in this report play an important

Commonwealth Historic Resource Management Limited 65

SLRD Electoral Area Directors Committee Meeting Agenda; September 13, 2010 Page 149 of 185 Village of Pemberton Arts and Cultural Community Scan

role in providing a high quality of life. The cultural assets should continue to be developed, celebrated and preserved. This can best be done through future planning, co-operation between organizations and policy development within the local governance.

MEMBER RELEASE August 30, 2010

TO: Mayor and Council; Chair and Board FROM: President Harry Nyce RE: UBCM Response to Review of Agricultural Land Commission

A review is now underway to determine if the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) is capable of meeting its mandate as outlined in section 6 of the Agriculture Land Commission Act and to explore opportunities to more effectively administer the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR).

On August 13, 2010 the ALC invited UBCM to meet with the review committee. We delivered our presentation last week, and it is now available in the “What’s New” section of our website (www.ubcm.ca).

The ALC has also invited 60 other stakeholders to participate in a series of meetings that will be held Nanaimo, Castlegar, Kelowna, Kamloops, Fort St. John and Prince George over the next 30 days. We understand that while some local governments have been invited to attend these meetings, many have not received notice about the review and its process. Given the findings of the committee may broadly impact our membership, UBCM has encouraged the ALC to increase communications regarding the review process.

Our delegation made several points to summarize UBCM’s policies regarding the ALR: • Resolutions endorsed by the membership in 2008, 2009 support targeted reviews with local government input; • There is broad overall support for retaining the ALR and ensuring that it captures agricultural land; • The need to balance any changes to the ALR with the commitments of local governments under the Climate Action Charter; and • There is a lack of resources currently to support the ALR.

The ALC advised us during our presentation that while a comprehensive review is underway, there is no support for weakening the reserve. The ALC will also attend Convention in Whistler and will be available for meetings. I encourage local governments that wish to present their views to the ALC to contact them and arrange a meeting in advance. UBCM will continue to monitor the review process and will provide further updates when appropriate.
