~he Da.:r:n.o.cie • TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 1999 ll This article is the third in a series of four providing general information on Salt Spring Island's new Development Permit Areas (DPA's) adopted in June of 1998. Each is meant to be a general overview of: the reasons for creating the DPA; wh6re they lie; the types of activities that require pennits; some voluntary actions that can be taken; and some answers to commonly asked questions. Specific information is available at the Islands Trust Office in Ganges, as are free copies of this article.
This article deals with Development Area 3 - Shoreline. This was established for the protection of the natural environment and to regulate the form and , character of specific types of development. The last article to follow in the coming weeks we will be DPA5 - Community Well Capture Zones created for the protection of the natural environment.
DPAI -Island Villages and DPA2 -Non-Village Commercial and Industrial, apply only to certain types of commercial, industrial and multiple family development. As such, we will not be publishing articles about these two DPA's. However, If you require information on these, please do not hesitate to contact the Islands Trust office located at 1206-115 Fulford Ganges Road or by phone at 53 7-9144 .
Salt Spring Island is experiencing development pressures that can threaten our natural environment. A key area of concern is the island's tidal shoreline. This area is crucial marine and wildlife habitat, and is highly sensitive to impacts and degradation from development and other activities. Development along the shoreline is also highly visible, forming a key part of the Island's unique character.
Salt Spring Island's recently adopted Official Community Plan includes new measures in the form of a Development Permit Area to protect this valuable part of the island. In addition, the Development Permit Area aims to protect development adjacent to the shoreline from hazardous conditions, and to ensure commercial and industrial development is unobtrusive and adds to the character of the area.
This Article gives you a summary of the new regulations and how they might affect you. It also talks about some voluntary actions you can take to help ensure this area is preserved.
WHAT IS THE SHORELINE ZONE? • WHAT KINDS OF DEVELOPMENT AND ACTIVITIES REQUIRE A PERMIT?
• The Shoreline Zone includes the shoreline waters and natural fish and wildlife habitat surrounding Salt Spring Island. In some areas, it also inc;ludes Construction of any building within 10 metres of areas of land that lie adjacent to and influence the island's most sensitive shoreline the natural boundary of the sea if your land is in the environments. on-lami; pprtion of the DPA, or if the building is over the ocean portion · WHAT ARE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AREAS?

The permit will contain HOW MUCH DO PERMITS COST? conditions that you will have to meet in order to proceed. You will not be able to get a building permit in DP A 3 without a development permit or an exemption. It • Most routine permits cost as little as $50.00. Application costs rise for is an offense to undertake an activity without a Permit. Serious situations can be very complex development proposals. If you fall within more than one DP A, you stopped if necessary by court injunction . will be required to pay only one fee.
WHERE IS THE SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AREA LOCATED?
• The map on the facing page is found in the Salt Spring Island Official Community Plan. It indicates all of the area that is in Development Permit Area 3. This map is available at a much larger scale. At this small scale, it indicates the limits, but not the exact location of the 'on-land portions' (see below) within DPA 3. The specific boundaries need to be determined as part of a Development Permit application. Furthermore, the Shoreline Conservation Designation (see below) is not shown on this map.
The width that the DPA extends beyond the shoreline and on the land adjacent to the shore, is also defined in the OCP. In general these widths are:
• 300 metres seaward measured horizontally from the natural boundary of the sea; and • In specific areas, the enclosed area of land ('on-land portion') measured 10 metres horizontally from the natural boundary of the sea. These on-land portions are shown as a thick dark line on the map and correspond to areas where the marine environment has been identified as the most sensitive to development impacts.

- WHAT ELSE CAN I DO TO PROTECT OUR SHORELINES?
- The ways that you can protect the tidal shoreline from impacts are very similar to those for the Riparian Zone aside lakes, streams and wetlands. For some suggestions on voluntary measures that you can take to proetct these areas, please look at our last article Lakes, Streams, Wetlands & YOU (in the 'Barnacle', Tuesday, Ma'rch 23, 1999). Here are a few suggestions specific to the shoreline zone:
ON THE BEACH II The foreshore (below the natural boundary of the sea) of Salt Spring Island is a unique natural area that is for the entire public to enjoy. It is important that others share the same opportunity for an unspoiled experience. Public use, however, can significantly degrade and impact the foreshore environment.
What Can I Do? Avoid placing structures that could disrupt natural shoreline processes; keep beach fires small and use driftwood only; remove traces of pit fires by spreading out rocks and covering ashes; collect and remove all litter; dismantle any temporary driftwood structures; pack out animal excrement; and be careful not to disturb the nests ofs horeline birds.
- 0NTHEWATER
- Boating is part of the Island way of life. Improper disposal of sewage, bilge, garbage and other fuel and cleaning products can seriously impact the health and cleanliness of our tidal waters
What Can I Do? Dispose of sewage properly - if possible use holding tanks and pump-out stations. Us e cleaning and painting products and methods that are environmentally friendly, and take care when fuelling and changing oil.
