FILE: Tender No. 428 TO: City Manager FROM: MaterialsManager Engineering Services Manager OFFICE OF THECITY MANAGER DATE: December 1, 2005 City of Ctmpbeit alder
SUBJECT: Tender No. 428-Willow Creek Sewage Pump Station and the Willow Creek Bridge Utility Crossing
Recommendations: That Council approve the award of Tender No. 428 - Willow Creek Sewage Pump Station and the Willow Creek Bridge Utility Crossing to the lowest priced tenderer, Kinetic Construction for a total of $1,028,597.00 (GST excluded), and that the Financial Plan be amended accordingly.
Council Policies:
Council adopted the 2005 - 2009 Financial Plan in May of 2005.
The City's policy states that purchases for goods and services over $100,000 require the approval of Council.
Background: Based on a pre-design cost estimate, a budget amount of $900,000 was included in the 2005 financial plan for the construction of a new sewage lift station just south of Willow Creek. Through the City's competitive request for proposal process, Dayton & Knight Ltd. was hired early this year to undertake the detailed design for the project. Based on the results of the 2004 Service Satisfaction Survey(44.5%of respondents showing dissatisfaction with the availability of public washrooms), Council subsequently directed that public washrooms be incorporated into the building design. Given the building location and the City's interest to protect and enhance the aesthetics of the waterfront entrance to Willow Point, staff have also given considerable detail to building architecture - including the involvement of the Campbell River Indian Band to undertake a series of First Nations art piecesto beincorporated into the building architecture (see attached drawing). These changes were outside the original scope of work that was anticipated at the pre-design stage. Tender No. 428 - Willow Creek Sewage Pump Station and the Willow Creek Bridge Utility Crossing was advertised in the Journal of Commerce, and was posted on BC Bid and the City's web site. Nine tender packages were distributed.Eight potential tenderers signed in at the October 27, 2005 Mandatory Site Meeting. At the November 18, 2005 closing, tenders were received from:
Tenderer Cost (GST not included)
I. Kinetic Construction Ltd. $ 1,028,597.00 2. Ketza Pacific Construction Ltd. 1,075,015.00 Upland Excavating Ltd. 1,129,046.20 4. Western Industrial Contractors Ltd. 1,187,300.00 5. Tritech Group Ltd. 1,323,825.00 Discussion: The City received considerable interest in this project and is confident that the tender results listed above represent competitive current pricing. Considering the expanded scope of work as described above combined with the rapidly rising material prices, the scarcity of equipment and sub-contractors caused by the current economic upswing in British Columbia, it is not entirely unexpected that tendered prices now exceed the initial pre-design estimate. While it may be possible to modify the project to fit within the existing established budget by modifying the design of the project to a basic functional design, this would result in the loss of the permanent public washrooms, the reduction in waterfront aesthetics and the loss of any First Nations art and cultural partnership opportunities. However, this would result in additional engineering costs for re-design and further, given the recent construction pricing trends (estimates range between 1-2% increases per month), it is anticipated that a second tender could yield higher construction costs. Accordingly, it is considered unlikely that pursuit of this option would yield any significant financial benefit. The City's engineering consultant, Dayton and Knight, have reviewed the tender results and have provided the attached report recommending an award of the tender to Kinetic Construction Ltd. at $1,028,597.00 (GST Excluded).
In order to comply with current marketplace conditions and to allow the project to proceed to construction, the amount Financial Plan will need to be amended as follows: Account 05-282682 would be amended from $900,000 to $1,050,000 The additional $150,000 will come from the Sanitary Sewer Revenue Fund which currently has an unencumbered balance of $3,772,000. Conclusion/Communications:
Subject to Council approval, the Financial Plan will he amended and the City will award the tender to Kinetic Construction Ltd. as their tender is lowest priced compliant tender. If approved, the City will arrange for the execution of the necessary contract documentation and advise all interested parties of the final determination.

Date: December 5, 2005
Recommendation
That Council approve a grant-in-aid for $ 416.50 (50% of the total cost) to rent the Community Centre for the Salvation Army's complimentary Christmas Dinner.
Discussion
Council Policy permits grants up to 50% of the total rent to a maximum of $500 for groups that are fundraising. Although this group is not fundraising, the City has traditionally supported the Salvation Army's Christmas Dinner. In the past, the Management Staff have also, personally, donated to the dinner.
Communication/Action
If approved, the Parks and Recreation Manager will inform the Salvation Army.

Re: Community Christmas Dinner Community Hall
Grant-in-aid: Attention: Mayor Roger McDonell
I am pleased to be writing with plans for another Christmas Dinner celebration for all residents and friends of Campbell River. Over the past three years, this meal has been held at the Community Centre through a shared partnership with other organizations in our community. The Salvation Army is planning to feed up to 400 people on Christmas day.
With a crowd of this nature, space is needed the size of a community hall!
We are formally requesting consideration be given to allow the use of the Community Hall for this exciting community feast. The hall will be needed between the hours of 8:00 AM till 6 PM December 25t", 2005 (possible set up on December 24th). Clean up that is required will be provided to assist any staff.
If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours in Christ,
David Allen Captain

Recommendation: That Council authorize the Master Operating Agreement with BC Transit and Watson and Ash Transportation Co. Ltd. be amended for a six-month trial period to allow the carriage of non-assistance animals on Conventional Transit buses, as detailed in the BC Transit Pets on Board Guidelines.
Council Policy: The City of Campbell River has a signed Master Operating Agreement with BC Transit and Watson and Ash Transportation Co. Ltd. which does not allow pets, other than assistance animals on board buses.
Summary: Following a request by a user of the transit system staff requested information on the possibility of allowing small pets to travel on our buses. The attached letter from BC Transit details the current practice in many transit systems throughout the province and makes a recommendation to run a trial period.
Communications Strategy: If approved, the information will be made available through the Transit Rider's Guide, to be reprinted in early 2006. In addition a news release and interior bus cards, specifically on the new program, will also be created.

Dave Burns Municipal Services Director City of Campbell River 301 St. Ann's Road Campbell River, BC V9W 4C7
Dear Mr. Burns:
SUBJECT: Pets on Board
As requested, the following provides information on the Pets on Board program currently implemented in a number of other BC transit systems.
Assistance animals, such as dogs trained to help people with sight or hearing impairments, have long been allowed transportation on transit with their owners. However, until recently, other animal pets have been barred from transit travel in BC.
Several BC communities have changed this policy, joining the ranks of many other Canadian transit systems-such as Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto and Halifax--that already allow owners and pets to take transit together.Translink has had a Pets on Transit program for approximately 5 years, while the Victoria Regional Transit System's program is approximately four years old. In the Municipal Systems Program, the Comox Valley, Port Edward, Prince Rupert, Vernon, Central Fraser Valley, Kelowna Regional, and Whistler transit systems are among the participants.
Most of the above communities first implemented the Pets on Board program on a six month trial basis. All have continued on with the program at the end of the trial.
The Pets on Board guidelines established in Municipal Systems communities are as follows:
Only small fur-bearing and feathered pets contained in secure, clean, handheld cages are permitted on the buses. The cage should be appropriate to the pet's size. Cages must be small enough to fit on the owner's lap. One handheld cage per passenger. Passengers must hold onto their cages at all times and are responsible for the safety of their pets. If there is room on the bus, you can place the cage beside you on the floor. The cage should not block the aisle or restrict other passengers. 2
Your transit driver may refuse a trip if your pet poses a health or safety risk, or if it misbehaves. When the bus is busy, there may not be room for your pet. Call transit and ask which trips tend to be busy.
These conditions are very specific and the carriage of pets in this manner has minimal impact on transit drivers and other passengers. Feedback from the Victoria Regional Transit System during the trial program showed that positive passenger feedback by far outweighed passengers calling with concerns about allergies, etc.
The program does not apply to the handyDART system where allergies and sensitivities may be more prevalent and where the smaller vehicles do not have the same ability to create distance between passengers.
In order to implement a Pets on Board program, the City of Campbell River would need to pass a resolution requesting that its Master Operating Agreement with BC Transit and Watson & Ash Transportation Co. Ltd. be changed to include the carriage of non- assistance animals covered by the Pets on Board guidelines.
If approved by the City, a program could be implemented with an upcoming Rider's Guide reprint in early 2006.It is recommended that the program be implemented as a six month trial. After six months, the program would be assessed to determine whether it should be made permanent.
As the program already operates in the Comox Valley Transit System (also operated by Watson & Ash), local operating company staff support the implementation.
Please call if you have any comments or questions on the above material.
Sincerely,
Tania Wegwitz Senior Transit Planner Municipal Systems Program

FROM: Engineering Services Manager OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER City of Campbell River DATE: November 28, 2005 SUBJECT: ProposedBoundary Extension-ElectoralArea `D' Water Recommendation: THAT the City enter into negotiations with the Regional District of Comox Strathcona to update the current Willow Point/York Road Water Supply Agreement so as to address the expansion of the service area and to ensure that the City's commitment to supply water is appropriate. Background: In 2004, the Regional District and City discussed the servicing of the Craig, Jody Lynn Way and Neigel Cresent area. The Regional District was able to service the area from within the existing service area and the City allowed the addition, honouring its current agreement. At that time, however, the City did express concern over the supply flows in the current agreement based on preliminary computer water model analysis of system capacities and requested the Regional District agree to modify the existing agreement. The City has not received a response to this request. The current agreement is effective until June 1, 2007 but in accordance with the agreement, negotiations are to begin by June 1, 2006 for the next five year term. In the letter dated November 4, 2005, the Regional District has requested that the City amend the current Water Supply agreement to include a one lot subdivision which is not currently included in the service area but has been experiencing recurring water supply and quality problems with their well source. This property requested inclusion in the service area to the Regional District on September 29, 2004. Discussion: While the addition of a single lot will have no appreciable impact on the City's ability to supply water to the Regional District, it is apparent based on recent information generated through the City's computer water model, that the level of water service provided through the current water supply agreement with the Regional District may need to be adjusted to ensure that delivery of water within the City's limits is not compromised. This may mean that the supply flows will need to be changed to ensure that the Regional District's water demand needs are being met without adversely affecting the integrity of the overall water system. The agreement also needs to be amended to deal with the subject property and the other potential adjacent lots not included in the service area. Accordingly, it is recommended that the City and Regional District begin renegotiations as soon as possible to expedite the process of including this property into the service area and addressing the water model information. Communications: Subject to Council approvala letter will be drafted to the Regional District requesting that negotiations regardin Ze rms con one of an updated water supply agreement begin immediately.

We have also enclosed a copy of a letter from Ms. Datema, dated September 29, 2004, requesting water service to the property described as Lot 3, Section 34, Township 4, Comox District, Plan VIP 57144, located at 3011 York Road, due to concerns regarding the safety and reliability of her well, as well as final test results from the Pump House and North Island Labs. The RDCS could not act on Ms. Datema's request prior to the new watermains being installed from Henry Road to York. With this new watermain, pressure and volume can be maintained at the top end of York that was the concern in the past. Pursuant to Section 3.04 of the Agreement between the City of Campbell River and Willow Point/York Road Water Supply dated the 18th of July 2002, the RDCS would like to request that the City of Campbell River consider a one lot boundary extension at 3011 York Road, Lot 3, Plan VIP57144, Section 34, Township 4, to allow for this lot to be brought into the Electoral Area `D' Water Service Area. The enclosed map shows the merged water systems of York Road and Willow Point and as you can see, Ms. Datema's property is one of five lots on York Road currently not within any Local Service Area (LSA), yet watermains run right past them. Eventually the RDCS would like to bring all of these lots into the service area, but Ms. Datema's problems with her water system is our most important concern for the time being. We will request inclusion of the remaining lots into the LSA at a future date.

I wouldlike this committee to allow the inclusionof 3011 York Road in the Willow Point Water Local Service Area.
Accompanying this request, is a letter outlining recent events that have occurred, that give me grave concern regarding the safety and reliabilility of my well.
T ask for your immediate attention to this matter.

Attention: Wes Whyte Subject: Water service to 3011 York Road
In follow up to a telephone conversation I had with Kerry Mayo, I would like your assistance in being connected to water service.
Currently, my water supply is from a well which must go through a filtering system before being potable. Although the wateris cleanfor drinking, it is high in alkalinity and solids, wreaking havoc on my washing machine, my hot tub, not tomentionaffecting taste and texture.
However, of more concern, is the fact that I have now lost/ran out of water for the third time in the past ten days. The second episode of water loss involved an explosion from within the pump house that had enough force to blow off the pump house door, breaking the framing and bending the metal door latch. This explosion caused a fire that scorched and melted stryofoam insulation and burnt hoses and wiring. Flame was seen and had to be extinguished from the vent pipe from inside the well.
As a result, the holding tank required replacement, as well as the hoses and wiring. We are now into the thousands of dollars for repairs, and this morning, I am again without water. Unfortunately, the repair men are unable to explain why this is happening and cannot assure me that there will be no further explosions and/or loss of water.
As there is city water that goes right by the front of my house, I believe the safest resolution for me is to be connected to the water service. This would assure me of safe, continuous water for my house and my horses, but more importantly, would reduce my fear of another event that has the potential to cause major damage to property and person.
I ask for your immediate attention to this matter.
Thank you,

File: 3710-30RACE TO: City Manager FROM: Engineering Services Manager DATE: December 6, 2005 SUBJECT: Race Point Water System Recommendation: That Council advise the Provincial government that the City of Campbell River is not interested in accepting ownership or operational responsibilities for the existing Race Point water system unless the existing Race Point water system is first brought up to current City of Campbell River standards,. Council Policy: City of Campbell River Council Policy - 4.1: The following information will be provided to the City of Campbell River prior to council's consideration of a request that a City boundary be expanded, providing that any or all of the requirements may be waived when pertaining to a small piece of property: i) A description of the environmental impacts that boundary extension and development will have on adjacent land uses and natural resources. ii) A description of the socio-economic impacts that boundary extension and development will have on City of Campbell River residents. iii) A description of how the boundary extension and development will integrate with the policies and long-term goals established in the Official Community Plan, other relevant Ciy bylaws, and Provincial policies. iv) A description of the costs to the City of expanding the boundary, and the potential impact on revenue. City of Campbell River Council Policy - 4.18.1.3: i) The City will base its growth infrastructure planning on the development anticipated in the Official Community Plan. In particular; ii) Servicing infrastructure will be planned for the "probable growth " that can be anticipated on the basis of OCP land use designations and historical land development densities within those designations. iii) Growth infrastructure will not be planned for lands outside the urban containment boundary, other than that required to service non-residential uses otherwise permitted by the OCP. No additional land beyond that now identified in the OCP is required to accommodate residential growth for the foreseeable future. The `probable growth " anticipated under the existing OCP land use designations and the SSP (Strategic Servicing Plan) is an increased population of approximately 30,000. City of Campbell River Council Policy - 4.18.3: There shall be no watermain extensions or service connections beyond the limit of the City. Properties outside the boundaries of the City will be considered for hookup of water services only upon inclusion within the boundaries of the City.
F:sDATA PORTS'tReports 20051RGN1RacePointWater.doc OCP - Chapter 2 - Growth Management - 2.2 Principles: The City will encourage residential growth within the planning areas identified in the Official Community Plan, and accommodate residential growth within the urban containment boundary. The City will expand its boundaries to incorporate industrial or commercial lands after cost benefit analysis is done to confirm amalgamation is a benefit to the City. The City will only expand its boundaries for adjacent residential areas after determining that extending service improvements to these areas are not to become a financial burden to existing Campbell River residents. Background: The Race Point area falls within Electoral Area `H' and is bounded by the City of Campbell River and Discovery Passage. The source of water for this area is Barron Creek. The water treatment and distribution system was initially constructed by the private developer in 1978, however, in the mid 1990's the owner/developer of the system abandoned the system and the system was ultimately reverted to the Provincial government. Recently, the Provincial government has initiated a process to transfer ownership and liability of the water system to the users of the system. As a result, the Race Point residents have approached both the Comox Strathcona Regional District (CSRD) and the City of Campbell River to determine if there would be any interest in owning/operating the water system. The CSRD commissioned two studies to review the quantity and quality of water available within the watershed, to review the existing treatment and distribution system, and to provide preliminary cost estimates for upgrades. The reports conclude that significant capital upgrades in the range of $1.2 million would be needed to bring the water system to current CSRD standards. The CSRD has subsequently advised that`...regrettably the Regional District cannot assume ownership and liability for a water system with known infrastructure deficiencies and known limitations on water quantity and quality if a proviso for such ownership is to provide minimal upgrading and caretaker operation until such time as the system is transferred to another jurisdiction. ' More recently, the Provincial government has requested that the City provide its intents as to the Race Point water issue. Discussion: In considering the request to take over ownership/operations of the Race Point water system, the City has several options: Option 1 - Take over ownership and run the system as a business venture. This option should only be considered if there is a clear benefit to the City. Given the findings of the CSRD reports, it is evident that considerable capital upgrades would be required to facilitate reliable operation of the system and to address liability exposure associated with owning and operating a sub- standard water system. Given the large capital outlay and the small benefiting service area, there is very little likelihood that this system could ever be operated for profit, and as such this option has no merit for further consideration. Option 2 - Amalgamate the Race Point area into the City limits and then assume ownership and operational responsibilities of water delivery. The policies referenced above that relate to boundary expansion do not support this option. However, if the area were amalgamated within the City limits, the City could then consider extending the existing water system to the Race Point area. There is a considerable physical gap between the northerly limit of the City's existing water system and the Race Point area. While this gap may eventually be filled by development of the Meryl & Ring lands, this may not occur for many years. As such, should the City Page 2
F:IDATAIREPORTSIReports 2005tRGNIRacePointWater.doc wish to pursue this option, it would necessitate that the City either front the capital improvements needed to extend the existing water system to the Race Point area or alternately, undertake the improvements as identified in the CSRD reports. Failure to address the water system deficiencies would expose the City to considerable liability. A further consideration would be the condition of the other assets in the Race Point area (i.e. sewer, drainage, roads, lighting, etc.). Prior to considering amalgamation of this area, a full analysis should be undertaken to ensure that the full costs of all necessary infrastructure upgrades within the area is well understood and quantified. As with Option 1 above, it is evident that pursuit of this option will necessitate a considerable financial investment in infrastructure upgrades. While amalgamation would generate increased revenue through property taxes, it is unlikely that this increased revenue would offset the required capital investment. Accordingly, this option is not recommended. Option 3 - Advise the Provincial government that the City has no interest in assuming ownership or operational responsibilities of the Race Point water system. This option appears to be the only viable option given current City policy, the deficiencies of the existing water system and the significant capital investment required to bring the system up to an appropriate standard. Should either the Race Point residents or the Provincial government provide the capital required to undertake all of the necessary improvements needed to bring the water system up to current City standards, then the City may wish to re-evaluate both Options 1 and 2. Communications: Subject to Council approval, a letter will be sent to the Provincial government advising them that the City has no interest in assuming ownership or operational responsibilities of the Race Point water system.

File: 0430-20FOCE & 5225-20SCRE TO: City Manager FROM: Engineering Services Manager DATE: November 28, 2005 SUBJECT: Simms Creek Fish Kill Recommendation: That Council receive this report as information. Background: As referenced in the attached November 22, 2005 letter from Dale Bradley, a fish kill (Cohofry)occurred some time in mid-November (2005) on Simms Creek. This incident was not reported to the City, however, City staff did hear about the incident from other sources and followed up with Simms Creek Stewards and DFO staff. Based on these discussions, it is our understanding that the incident involved an unknown number of fry floating near the Rockland Road area over a weekend in mid November.
Discussion: The City does not take a lead role in fisheries enforcement and investigation issues as this is the jurisdiction of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Accordingly, when the City becomes aware of an issue involving fish, the City notifies DFO staff. In the recent Simms Creek incident, the City reported the incident to DFO and in follow-up conversations with DFO staff, it is understood that an investigation by DFO staff was initiated but that there have been no conclusive findings that would indicate what triggered the event.
It is noteworthy that several developments are underway in the Simms Creek watershed. The City works with the developers and their agents to ensure, as per our Subdivision Standards, a Sediment Drainage Management Plan is prepared and appropriately implemented. Additionally, site meetings have taken place between City staff, the developers and their agents and in some cases, developers have, at their own expense (with City encouragement), prepared educational signage and information for contractor use (example attached).
Communication: Based on Council's receipt of this report, a response letter will be drafted to Mr. Bradley.

Open letter to Mayor Nash and Council Mayor elect McDonell and Council elect CR Courier Islander, CR Mirror and TV10
1 owe a great deal of thanks to family and friends for their support in the recent municipal election campaign, and to all those who placed their trust in me by voting for me. Thanks also to Channel 10 and the Courier and Mirror newspapers for enabling candidates to get their messages out.
Much appreciation is due Mayor Nash and outgoing Councillors Ashley, Cornfield and Matthews for their hard work and dedication, and congratulations to elected Mayor McDonell and Councillors. It was clear from the start that I was in the company of candidates of very high caliber and public commitment. I urge that, win or lose we all continue to work to make Campbell River a better place to live.
Many important issues were raised in this campaign, and the voters will be watching to see that candidates fulfill their commitments. It is extremely important that we defend our water systems from creeping privatisation, and our rivers and estuaries from harmful exploitation.I also would like to hear from Council what steps are taken by the City when incidents such as the recent fish kill in Simms Creek occur.
Thank you.It has been an honor to participate and to be heard.

Recommendation: That Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3161, 2005 (1410/1640 Perth Road) to re- designate the subject lands from "Low Density Residential" to "Medium Density Residential" and to "High Density Residential" be read a 1St and2ndtime, and be scheduled for public hearing.
That Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3162, 2005 (1410/1640 Perth Road) to rezone the subject lands from the "Residential infill two zone (Ri - 2)" to the "Residential Multiple two zone (RM - 2)" and to the "Residential multiple three zone (RM - 3)", be read a 1St and 2d time, and be scheduled for public hearing.
Council Policy: Official Community Plan: Chapter 5: Residential Areas and Uses 5.2 Principles:6t4bullet Support, in proximity to sensitive areas, cluster housing with the aim of maximizing amenity space while mitigating environmental impact, including retention of steep sloped areas and natural-areas with retention of natural vegetation. 5.2 Principles: 9'" bullet New residential developments should be sited and designed in a manner which: oTakes advantage of special site features, such as the retention of mature vegetation or landscaping; oProvides for privacy, security and the retention or enhancement of views; oProvides safe and distinct pedestrian access routes with connectivity to recreational open space, commercial areas, schools, community services, amenities and facilities; oIs compatible with the existing topography, vegetation, and adjacent development; and oOffers opportunity for both social interaction with neighbours, and physical interaction with the natural environment. 5.3 Policies 5.3.3 Residential Infill Residential infill is defined as the introduction of new housing into or immediately adjacent to existing neighbourhoods. An infill project can take the form of a single family dwelling, residential conversion, attached or multiple dwelling unit form of housing. It can also occur in a variety of locations, including small vacant lots, lots which have been divided off through subdivision, on underdeveloped sites or transitional sites between different land uses, on lands previously zoned for alternate uses such as former commercial or industrial lands, on irregular sites, or on sites with difficult topographical constraints. To ensure compatibility with existing neighbourhood areas, all development applications and planning for infill development must consider:

Chapter 9: Environmentally Sensitive Areas 9.2 Principles: 1" to 7`4 bullets Require the provision of environmental overviews and impact assessments on watershed management for major development proposals prior to development approvals. Minimize adverse impacts from human activity or development related disturbance in environmentally sensitive areas, especially in flood prone areas, the foreshore areas, watercourses, and the City watershed (drinking water supply) area. Implement riparian area, streamside and watercourse protection measures to provide habitat protection for fish and wildlife. Work with developers, builders, the general public, and other levels of government and non- governmental organizations to protect the foreshore area and the marine environment. Conserve rare and sensitive ecosystems from development and rehabilitate damaged ecosystems. Encourage and support development standards that benefit the natural landscape. Encourage and support redevelopment around the Campbell River Estuary in accordance with the goals and objectives of the Campbell River Estuary Management Plan. 9.2 Principles: 15t h to l74 bullets Encourage and support programs for integrated stormwater management planning (ISMP) in accordance with approved ISMP studies and recommendations in the respective watershed areas. Ensure that new development and redevelopment in designated floodplain areas are constructed to elevations and standards which serve to reduce or minimize loss of life and damage to property, if a major flood event occurs. Ensure that new development and redevelopment on or adjacent to identified high-ri sk slopes where there is a potential for soil movement or land slippage, are setback sufficient distance and built to standards which serve to reduce or minimize loss of life and damage to property. 9.3 Policies 2) The City will encourage and support partnerships for rehabilitation and restoration projects that benefit the natural environment. 3) The City will require environmental overviews and assessments for developments in areas identified as environmentally sensitive areas (ESA's). 7) The City encourages storm water management proposals for new developments, which maximize protection of watercourses from pollution infiltration. 12) The City will ensure that in the designated 200-year floodplainareas(as shown on Map Schedule 7: Campbell and Quinsam River Floodplain and Risk Slope Areas Map), building permit issuance will require utilization of the provisions of Section 56 of the Community Charter, to require construction in conformance with the recommended flood elevation requirements, or otherwise to require a report that the land may be used safely for the use intended, certified by a professional engineer or geoscientist and experienced in geotechnical engineering, subject to conditions contained in the report.

Summary: The applicants originally applied to amend the official community plan and zoning bylaw back in March of this year, proposing multi-residential housing on the subject lands, as well as lands addressed to 1621 Vanstone Road. The original applications were given lSt and2ndreadings on the9thof May, and a public hearing was held on the 24th of May. Following receipt of numerous concerns regarding impact on the estuary area, the location of the floodplain area, and impact of proposed building heights on the adjacent property at 1521 Vanstone Road, Council opted to rescind the 1St and 2d readings.
The applicants have since revised their proposal by removing the property at 1621 Vanstone Road from the application (opting instead to leave it low density and in the current Ri - 2 zone), and by lowering the requested density and zoning below the top of the ridge at 1410 Perth Road i.e. to medium density residential and RM - 2 zoning. They have also provided additional information in response to concerns previously raised, including a survey to identify the location of the 30 metre riparian assessment area and the 3.5 metre contour (the 200 year flood elevation level), a biological inventory of the subject site, and a proposed stormwater management plan for the proposed development.
The concept for development proposes approximately 108 to 120 dwelling units, including two 3-storey buildings plus underground parking on the proposed RM - 2 site at 1410 Perth Road below the top of the ridge (36 to 40 dwelling units), two 4-storey buildings plus underground parking on the proposed RM- 3 site at 1410 Perth Road above the top of the ridge (56 to 60 dwelling units), and 3 building complexes consisting of 3- to 4-storey townhouses with underground parking at 1610 Perth Road (16 to 20 dwelling units).
Background: The subject lands are currently zoned Residential infill two (Ri - 2), which permits multifamily residential development. However, in the Ri - 2 zone, density is limited to 25 units per hectare, building heights are limited to 10 metres, and buildings are limited to a maximum of eight dwelling units per building. The applicants have requested OCP and zoning amendment to permit the construction of a series of 3- to 4-storey apartment style and townhouse style condominiums. The RM - 3 zone permits up to 75 dwelling units per hectare plus 10 additional units per hectare where 80% of the required parking is located underground, and has a maximum building height of 18.5 metres (60.69 feet). The RM- 2 zone permits up to 50 units per hectare plus the 10 units per hectare bonus with 80% of the required parking located underground, and a maximum building height of 13 metres (42.65 feet). The proponents held their Neighbourhood Public Meeting on April 12, 2005, and a2ndneighbourhood public meeting is not required under Planning Procedures Bylaw No. 2989. Page 3
P.'(Applications - PlanningyOCP-ZON COMBO - OZCOCP-05-04 ZON-05-03 Perth VanstoneyReport to Council. doe The applicants recently presented their revised proposals to the Estuary Management Commission (EMC) and to the Advisory Planning Commission (APC). As noted in the attached comments sheets, the APC recommended in favour of the applications as resubmitted, and also that the views of the property at 1521 Vanstone Road be taken into consideration at the development permit approval stage. The EMC supported the proposal at 1610 Perth Road and above the top of the ridge at 1410 Perth Road (for RM - 3 zoning), but did not support the proposal below the top of ridge at 1410 Perth Road (for RM - 2 zoning). The EMC also recommended that Council consider purchasing the lands below the top of the ridge at 1410 Perth Road.
Discussion: If the OCP and Zoning amendment applications are approved, the applicants will also be subject to additional approvals for combined major development permit and minor (environmental) development permit respecting site development issues, and for phased strata subdivision under the Strata Property Act.
In relation to the above policies, the proponents have provided a concept with supporting studies and information, which proposes to keep development well outside of the riparian assessment area, and above the 200 - year flood level. They have also provided a Biological Inventory and Stormwater Management Plan, which also recommends additional enhancement to the riparian area adjacent to the estuary. Further, the applicants are proposing underground parking for a majority of the development, which will serve to reduce the potential area of impervious surface. They have reduced building heights below the top of the ridge at 1410 Perth Road from their original submission by constructing a 3-storey complex with underground parking, which Council has the ability to regulate through the development approval process.
Lands to the south of this development proposal along the estuary area down to and including the Freshwater Marina are already zoned Residential infill three (Ri - 3), which permits 60 dwelling units per hectare (approximately 24 units per acre), building heights of 15.0 metres (49.2 feet), but only twelve units per building. If approved, the permitted densities for this development will be comparable to the permitted densities to the south. However, due to the significant area of land not suited for development within the riparian assessment and floodplain areas, the proponents will be well below potential densities permitted under the zoning. The RM - 2 zoning is needed below the top of the ridge at 1410 Perth Road in order to accommodate a building form and building height that is conducive to providing underground parking, which will serve to reduce the amount of impervious surface and the potential environmental impact of surface run-off to the estuary.
This area is an area in need of revitalization with potential for transition from many former industrial uses, to mixed use. Staff feel that the project could serve as a catalyst for redevelopment of multi- residential housing in this area, and stimulate other comparable projects on lands to the south already zoned for multi-residential development in the Residential infill three zone (Ri - 3).
Communication: If approved for 1st and 2nd reading, a new public hearing will be required, which will include notification to neighbouring property owners as well as newspaper advertising to advise the general public i.e. regarding dates and times for the holding of the public hearing.
Conclusion: Planning staff feel that this general area from the subject lands down to the Freshwater Marina has considerable potential for redevelopment for multi-residential housing, to take advantage of views over the waterfront, and without adverse environmental impact on the estuary area. The Estuary Management

P.' Applications - Planning\OCP-ZON COMBO-- OZCOCP-05-04 ZON-05-03 Perth VanstonelReport to Council.doc Plan recommends low density / low profile development for this area. However, those recommendations do not take into consideration "Smart Growth Principles", which suggest that higher densities can be accommodated with underground parking, less lot coverage and less impervious surface, by providing more green space around the buildings and between buildings and watercourses, with less potential adverse impact than low density / low profile developments. In this regard, low density / low profile developments require more access areas or driveways, more surface parking, and more lot coverage with more building footprint area, and can generate more surface run-off as a result. By encouraging building forms with underground parking and which stack dwelling units on top of each other, more dwelling units can be accommodated with less potential impact.
Planning staff feel that the applicants have made a solid effort to respond to the concerns by providing the additional studies and information, and by reducing building heights and densities below the top of ridge at 1410 Perth Road, and can support the proposal on this basis.

Planning staff feel that this general area from the subject lands PLANNING STAFF down to the Freshwater Marina has considerable potential for COMMENTS: redevelopment for multi-residential housing, to take advantage of views over the waterfront, and without adverse environmental Date received: Dec 1/05 impact on the estuary area. The Estuary Management Plan recommends low density / low profile development for this area. However, those recommendations do not take into consideration "Smart Growth Principles", which suggest that higher densities can be accommodated with underground parking, less lot coverage and less impervious surface, by providing more green space around the buildings and between buildings and watercourses, with less potential adverse impact than low density / low profile developments. In this regard, low density/ low profile developments require more access areas or driveways, more surface parking, and more lot coverage with more building footprints, and can generate more surface run-off as a result. By encouraging building forms with underground parking and which stack dwelling units on top of each other, more dwelling units can be accommodated with less potential impact. Planning staff feel that the applicants have made a solid effort to respond to the concerns by providing the additional studies and information, and by reducing building heights and densities below the top of ridge at 1410 Perth Road, and can support the proposal on this basis.

Background / Discussion: These official community plan and zoning amendment bylaws were deferred following the public hearing at the November 21, 2005 Council meeting. Copy of the formal public hearing minutes are attached to the Council Agenda, under the heading for "Minutes". Otherwise, attached to this report is a copy of the original report and information package presented to Council at the November 7, 2005 Council meeting. At the November 21, 2005 public hearing, concerns were raised about the proposed use on the waterfront, and regarding the design of the building. In this regard, the applicants have requested a one week deferral of the associated development permit application to allow time to complete revisions to the design, and wait until the final decision is reached on these amending bylaws.
Communication: No further notification or advertisement is required prior to adoption of this amending bylaw. If approved or rejected, all those who submitted written correspondence will be notified of Council's decision.
Conclusion: Planning services staff standby their previous conclusions and recommendation in support of these applications, and feel if approved, the project will provide positive benefits for the Willow Point Business area.

Zoning Bylaw
The following sections of the Zoning Bylaw are applicable:
45 - Commercial two zone (C-2)
Summary: The applicant has requested that the two subject properties be redesignated from Residential to Commercial in the Official Community Plan (OCP); and that they be rezoned from the Residential one zone (R - 1) to the Commercial two zone (C - 2). The corresponding residential density for commercial designation in the Willow Point business area is medium density.
P: (Applications - PlanninglOFFICIALCONIMU.NITYPLAN,t - OCPIOCP-05-07 23 71 23 75 S ISL HWYReport to Council. dot 11/2/2005
CC"'IL OV1.72005 The land area of the two properties together is 1763 square metres (approximately 0.44 acres). Currently there is a 2-bedroom bed-and-breakfast operation (the Seaside Cottage) located on the northern parcel, and a small residence (occupied by the operator of the Seaside Cottage) on the southern parcel.
The applicant has also requested development permit approval to construct a 9-unit hotel on the subject lands. A separate report will be provided to Council, specifically with respect to the development permit application. This report, to be forwarded to Council on November 21 to coincide with the Public Hearing for the OCP amendment and rezoning consideration, will discuss the details of the project design.
The development proposal involves constructing a 3-storey, 9-unit hotel on the south side of the property. The hotel, to be called the Seaside Lodge, would consist of resort-style accommodations, each with a stocked kitchen, a gas fireplace, in-suite laundry facilities, a private, covered balcony and a private outdoor hot tub. The applicants have provided a written summary of their proposal (copy attached), describing the proposed operation and the anticipated benefits to the community. The existing residence on the south parcel would be relocated to the north side of the property, adjacent to the cottage, and would continue to serve as the hotel manager's residence and office.
Background / Discussion: The applicants have requested approval for development of a 10-unit hotel/motel complex consisting of three separate buildings. Two of the buildings already exist i.e. the Seaside Cottage, and the manager's residence/office. The new construction would consist of 9-unit facility in a 3- storey building comprising 5184 square feet, plus 1728 square feet of balcony space. The units are designed to maximize the privacy for adjacent residents, and minimize the transmission of noise from one unit to another, or off the property, wherein the majority of the sound should be directed towards the ocean. The applicants are proposing 11 parking stalls plus one loading space, with two of the proposed spaces assigned for small cars and one for handicap parking.
Building site coverage is approximately 27 percent, while parking covers approximately 31 percent of the site, for a total site coverage of approximately 58 percent. The remainder of the site will be landscaped. A comprehensive landscaping plan has been proposed, including the retention of a number of the existing trees on the site. The maximum lot coverage permitted in the C-2 zone for buildings, driveways and parking areas is 100 percent.
The subject site is located at the south end of the existing Willow Point commercial area, on the ocean side of the Old Island Highway several lots to the south and east of the Willow Point Plaza. The reconstruction of the highway in the area is nearing completion, and the site design has located the driveways to align with the newly installed curb letdowns and sidewalk crossings. To the south and east of the subject site are two properties that are owned by the City, which are currently undeveloped, but intended for future development as parkland (Larwood Park).
The applicants have pointed out that there are no tourist accommodations in the Willow Point area other than one bed-and-breakfast, and that no new hotels have been developed in Campbell River for some years. They have stated, and staff agree, that a hotel will be a positive contribution to the compliment of businesses in the Willow Point area. Their guests tend to stay with them for extended periods of time, and it is anticipated that they will patronize local businesses such as grocery stores, restaurants and the new pub, often arriving on foot.

Pr Applications - Planning\OFFICIALCOMMUNITY PLAI- QCPIOCP-05-07 23712375 S ISL HWY\Report to Council. dot With respect to whether a commercial operation fits into the character of the neighbourhood, it is noted that the immediate area contains a mix of residential and commercial uses. Within the block containing the subject properties, two properties (the Willow Point Plaza and a physiotherapy clinic) are currently zoned commercial (C-2) and designated commercial in the OCP, while the entire row of properties immediately adjacent to the north and west already have split zoning, with the southwest half (closer to the highway) being zoned commercial, and the northeast half (adjacent to the ocean) being zoned residential. There is also a condominium complex in the same block. Across the highway, the entire block and the next block to the north are zoned and designated commercial. While there remain several residential properties in the vicinity of the subject site, the area does appear to be transitioning from residential to commercial use overall.
The C-2 zone permits a wide variety of commercial uses, some of which may not be appropriate for the site. Therefore the applicants have volunteered to register a restrictive covenant against the titles of the parcels, in favour of the City, that would restrict the permitted uses of the properties to hotel/motel and multiple residential. In this way, the surrounding neighbours would not have to be concerned that another commercial use might be established on the site that might be objectionable, such as a licensed facility or a bus depot.
One concern that was raised at the neighbourhood information meeting was the height of the proposed building and its impact on views towards the ocean. It is acknowledged that the new building will block some existing views. In fact, the first two stories of the new hotel building are proposed to have a floor-to-ceiling heights of 10' 6", and a floor-to-floor heights of 12', in order to accommodate the sunken hot tubs. The top storey is proposed to have vaulted ceilings, so the total building height will be approximately 39' (12 metres). The maximum building height permitted in the C-2 zone is 15.0 metres.
While the building will have an impact on existing views of the ocean, several factors should be taken into consideration. First, the building is no wider than a typical house. Second, there is some slope across the property, sloping down from the highway, such that the ground elevation at the building site will be approximately 10 feet below the elevation of the road. Third, it is ,noted that most of the properties on the other side of the highway from the subject site are of a service commercial nature, such that there are few local residents whose views would be affected. Finally, the applicant has pointed out that there exists a large hedge across the front of the property that currently obscures most of the potential view, and part of which will be retained. The matter of height is also discussed in the Development Permit report.
Communication: Notification was provided in accordance with Planning Procedures Bylaw No. 2989, and the applicants hosted a neighbourhood public meeting on October 5, 2005 in the Committee Room at City Hall jointly in conjunction with the neighbourhood public meeting for the related rezoning application. Three neighbours attended the meeting (two representing a single property), and while considerable discussion took place, the general nature of the comments received was supportive of the project.
The Advisory Planning Commission considered the proposal on October 20, and the APC passed resolutions recommending to Council that both the OCP amendment and the rezoning be approved.
Conclusion: Staff believe the subject proposal is appropriate and will provide positive benefits for the Willow Point area of Campbell River, particularly local business community, by providing a new high-end

The project has been carefully designed to fit onto the site and compliment the area. This proposal is in accordance with both the intent and the objectives of the business development policies in the OCP for the Willow Point area. Impacts on adjacent properties are anticipated to be minimal, and the benefits to commercial activity in the area are expected to be positive and significant. Staff therefore support the proposal, and recommend consideration for approval.

The properties will be used for year `round tourist accommodation under C2 zoning. A nine unit, condo-type building will be constructed on Lot B next to the existing Seaside Cottage. The building will be called `Seaside Lodge' and will be owned 50% by Peter Bradley and 50% by Rob Archer and Cathy Fox. A covenant could be placed on the titles of the properties restricting their use to only hotel and office use under C2 zoning. The lodge will be quite luxurious with each unit having it's own hot tub on a balcony overlooking the ocean, gas fireplaces in each plus a separate bedroom with a hide-a-bed in the living room. The units will also have full kitchens that will come stocked with everything the guests need for a delicious breakfast each morning. Each unit will have it's own laundry room with washer and dryer. They will also be equipped with a stereo, tv, vcr/dvd/cd player, wireless internet and telephone.
Benefitsto the Community
Seaside Lodge is a destination lodge as is Seaside Cottage. Luxurious accommodation on the ocean ensures a high occupancy and longer stays. It is not unusual for guests to stay 2 to 3 weeks at Seaside Cottage. Seaside Lodge and Seaside Cottage attract guests with higher than average incomes. These guests bring thousands of dollars into the community. By providing luxury accommodations in such a beautiful, yet small city of Campbell River, will make Campbell River a destination resort city, not a stopover. If we excel in offering our visitors some of the best accommodations on the Island, they will stay much longer, visit more often and tell more friends about the great time they had in Campbell River. Seaside Lodge will fill the niche for the discerning traveler who seeks out the best accommodation available without too much concern for price. There is a large, new market out there waiting to be tapped by offering luxury accommodations in Campbell River. Many Seaside Cottage guests shop and dine right in Willow Point. The potential number of guests for Seaside Lodge and Seaside Cottage running at full occupancy is 42 guests, 36 in the Lodge (max. 4 guests/unit x 9 units) and 6 in the Cottage. Seaside Cottage employs two part time housekeepers and will create two new full time and two new part time positions when the Lodge opens. The rate of pay is between $10 and $13 per hour. The operation will definitely have a positive impact on many businesses both in Willow Point and downtown and create new employment at the same time. The visitors will appreciate the fine accommodations, which in turn will help establish Campbell Riveras a destination.

About The Owners
Rob Archer and Cathy Fox, owners of Archers Sportfishing Charters, have lived and worked in Campbell River for 20 years. They have recently joined Peter Bradley as business partners with Seaside Cottage at 2371 and 2375 South Island Highway in Willow Point. Peter has worked in the hospitality industry his whole career. He is a Journeyman Chef by trade, prepared a banquet for Queen Elizabeth in Ottawa when he was 25, went on to hotel school and managed hotels in Western Canada for 12 years. He has owned and operated Seaside Cottage since 1996. He possesses expertise in strategic and effective marketing.
Our Philosophy on Tourism in Campbell River
We believe we're living in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. We would like to offer our visitors the superior, luxurious accommodations that suit a city such as ours. We believe that Campbell River is a tourist destination city. That is why we would like to invest and build Seaside Lodge. When our visitors arrive here and find the accommodations to be truly outstanding, combined with such a beautiful city, we make ourselves irresistible. Anywhere else they go, they'll never find it as good as Campbell River. They'll come back here year after year for the upscale accommodations and the ambience of our city. Every time they return, they'll stay longer. Why should they go anywhere else when we have everything right here for them? Our Seaside Cottage guests, who come from all over the world, are not much concerned about the cost of accommodations and activities. They are more concerned with enjoying themselves and they want convenience and luxury in their accommodations. They spend a great deal of money in Willow Point and Campbell River shopping, fishing, taking in eco-tourism activities, and dining. Their expenses are not that relevant. They have high average incomes and they stay 5 - 18 days, not just overnight. Seaside Lodge will reflect the same luxury as Seaside Cottage, providing the same upscale accommodations for upscale guests.
Seaside Lodge
Seaside Lodge will be comprised of 9 luxurious touristsuites. The suites will have one bedroom and each suite will have it's own individual hot tub'on a covered balcony, full kitchen,gasfireplace,in-suitelaundry,t.v., dvd/vcr, phone and internet. The suites will be furnished with custom made oak and pine furniture and cabinetry. Seaside Lodge will be 3storeys,done in a West Coast style that blends in very well with the new Willow Point Village theme. Seaside Lodge will enhance the feel of Willow Point Village with a pleasingdesign,good colour scheme and will feature many native plantings in the landscaping. Page 2
Benefitsto TheCommunity
A positive economic impact onWillow Pointbusinesses
Willow Point needs more tourist accommodations to have a healthy urban mix. Seaside Lodge will have a definite positive economic impact on the businesses and services in Willow Point. Willow Point will benefit from the increased number of visitors strolling around in our village. Seaside Lodge itself will require more supplies such as food ( each suite's kitchen comes stocked with all the guests need for a delicious breakfast each morning such as bacon, eggs, fresh fruit, fresh baked goods, coffee, teas, cereals, and condiments), also cleaning supplies and paper goods. Our guests are just a few minutes walk to all shops and services.
Employment
Two new full time and two new part time positions will be required for Seaside Lodge. Seaside Cottage and Seaside Lodge have a wage scale between $10.00 and $13.30 per hour.
We would like to build Seaside Lodge so that we may accommodate a few more affluent guests who enjoy living in our community. We know Seaside Lodge will be a great asset to Willow Point and the Campbell River.

Minutes Of The Neighbourhood Public Meeting Held Wednesday October 5th, 2005 in the Committee Room of City Hall
The owners of 2371 and 2375South IslandHwy., Rob Archer and CathyFox and Peter Bradley held the meeting to explain their Seaside Lodge project and to answer any questions and concerns from the neighbours attending.
Two neighbours were in attendance, Mr. Bob Walker and his son David and also Mr. Dan Sampson. Mr. Adam Fitch from the Planning Department was also present. Mr. Bob Walker owns the house at 2345 South Island Highway adjacent 2371 South Island Highway where Seaside Cottage is located. Mr. Sampson owns the strip mall opposite the properties on the other side of the highway.
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m.. Cathy Fox took the minutes.
-Everyone was introduced by Peter Bradley. Mr. Bradley described the Seaside Lodge as a 3 storey building with 9 luxurious tourist suites, each with their own hot tub on a covered balcony and gas fireplace. All would be one bedroom suites with in-suite laundry, a full kitchen which comes stocked with everything the tourists need for a delicious breakfast each morning, tv, dvd/vcr, phone, internet, etc. Peter Bradley described the type of guests they will attract with these suites as not price conscious but looking for superior accommodations, convenience and location. These visitors enjoy the spending time and money in Willow Point and Campbell River shopping, dining and using the local services. Mr. Bradley stated that the plan was to open Seaside Lodge in June 2006. -Mr. Bob Walker wanted to know how it would affect his property value. Mr. Bradley replied he did not know. -David Walker was concerned about traffic congestion and noise around the Lodge, and that we would be unable to control our clientele. -Mr. Bradley explained the type of clientele that Seaside Cottage presently gets. Seaside Cottage does not rely on drive by traffic. Reservations are made well in advance sometimes up to 2 years in advance. The guests are very affluent who spend a good part of their year travelling. They are not rowdy and usually go to bed early. They have extended stays usually from 5-18 days. We do not have a lot of guests checking in and out everyday after only spending one night so traffic, congestion and noise are and will not be a problem. -The type of zoning was discussed with all present, that both lots are presently R1 and we'll be applying to have both lots zoned commercial, C2. Mr. Bradley stated that there could be a covenant on the property limiting the use to strictly hotel use. This would prevent the property from being used for any of the other uses under C2. -Mr. Samson stated that he did not like 3 storeys and that we would have a lot of resistance to that. He said he would like to see the building 2 storeys instead of 3. Page 2
-Mr. Bradley said that because the natural slope of the property has not and will not be changed. Seaside Lodge will be considerably lower than the highway grade thus minimizing the height appearance. -Mr. Samson said it would block his view from his mall across the highway. -Mr. Bradley said that he does not have an ocean view at present through the property because of the cedar hedge along the highway which is to remain. His view will be unchanged. -Mr. David Walker said that waterfront is not for tourists. -Mr. Bradley said that the tourists love the waterfront and that Seaside Lodge will fill a real need for tourist accommodation in Willow Point. -Rob Archer said that luxury guests want luxury accommodations. They want a quiet, scenic place for their families, not across the street on the other side of the highway. -Mr. Sampson said it was too big. -Mr. Archer said Seaside Lodge is actually not big and would fit right in with the Willow Point Village theme quite well. Mr. Archer also said there is a need for high end tourist accommodations. That is one of the reasons tourists go right through instead of staying longer in Campbell River. -Mr. David Walker asked about the purpose of the meeting and how the process was to follow with the public hearing, etc. and what was the plan for the area. Mr. Adam Fitch explained how the process worked and also that the plan for the area is for mixed residential and commercial. Mr. Fitch noted some minor variances to be considered. The side yard set back with Lot C should be 20 feet since Lot C is zoned residential. The city owns Lot C. -Rob Archer said that sound was the main issue we were concerned about when considering the construction. The balconies are 12 feet deep and are covered therefore sound can only travel straight out towards the ocean. Landscaping has been designed for sound suppression also. -Dan Samson stated that it should be a bed and breakfast instead. -Peter said that many people do not like bed and breakfasts when sharing the hot tub, bathrooms, etc. -Dan spoke about b&b's on Saltspring Island -Rob said most people don't like to mix, they want privacy for their families. -Peter said the Lodge suites will be totally private and also have kitchens that come stocked with everything the guests need for a delicious breakfast each morning such as bacon, eggs, fresh fruit, fresh baked goods, coffee, teas, cereals, etc. -Dan said there is a real need for high end accommodations in Willow Point. -Peter stated that many Seaside Cottage guests have chosen the cottage first, having found it on the internet. Then they come and discover Campbell River. The cottage attracts new business to town. Peter said that the cottage and the lodge do not depend on drive by traffic. Guests make reservations well in advance because of the effective marketing being done to promote the cottage. Some guests reserve 2 years in advance. Page 3
The rate in the summer is $225 per night for the Lodge suites and $255 per night for the cottage. Peter said that they do not get party people. Most guests go to bed early because they have busy days of fishing, eco-tours, etc. in the morning. -Dan stated that we will get a lot of resistance and said it was bad for the community -Peter said it would be good for the community and Willow Point needed it. -Dan said there should be a restriction on number of units, density and height. He said there shouldn't be any more people walking on the beach because there is enough already. -Dan asked if there was a walkway -Peter said that they did put a walkway in when the property was subdivided in 1997. It has become covered with driftwood coming over the seawall in the storms.
General banter followed regarding property taxes, possibly having an elevator in the Lodge within a year's time, etc.

File: ZON-05-11 TO: Administrator FROM: Planning Services Manager DATE: December 5, 2005 SUBJECT: Zoning Amendment Bylaw No.3199,2005 (RiparianAreaRegulations and other Text Amendments)
Recommendation: That Bylaw No. 3199, 2005 (Riparian Area Regulations and other Text Amendments) receive 3rd reading and be adopted.
Background/Discussion: This zoning amendment was deferred following the public hearing at the November 21, 2005 Council meeting. Attached is copy of the original report and information package presented to Council at the November 7, 2005 Council meeting. At the November 21, 2005 public hearing, concerns were raised regarding implementation of the provincial Riparian Area Regulations (RAR). To briefly summarize, it appears as though the concerns were primarily targeted towards the RAR's, wherein those speaking out against the zoning amendment felt that the RAR's were not as stringent as the former Streamside Protection Regulations (SPR's), and that our previous policies and zoning provisions called for a higher standard which they preferred to see remain in place.
There are a couple of primary differences between the requirements of the SPR's versus the new RAR's. One primary difference is "where the setback is measured from". Under the SPR's the measurement was started from the "top of bank" and came with a series of definitions to explain what was meant by "top of bank". Under the RAR's, the measure is commenced from the "high water mark" or the normal line of erosion. Measurement from the "top of bank" had always been a source of contention, since it is often difficult to determine, with extreme variations from one situation to another and in some cases non- existent, whereas the "high water mark" or "natural boundary" of a stream is more familiar to the land survey profession i.e. they have been using it to determine property boundaries for many years. The other primary difference is the requirements for the methodology that must be included in a QEP report (i.e. the report of a "qualified environmental professional"). Under the new RAR's, there is a fairly comprehensive set of criteria clearly spelled out in terms of what must be included in the QEP Report, which had not previously been included with the SPR's.
Other concerns raised were such thattheyfelt the City did not yet have to adopt the new RAR's, since there had been previous extensions to the mandatory date that a municipality had to have the regulations in place, and since those municipalities that previously adopted the SPR's were "grandfathered". In this regard, Section 8 of the RAR's, sub-section (2) had "grandfathered" us under the former Streamside Protection Regulations (SPR's). However, Section 8 sub-section (3) then states that "... Despite section 6 (5) of the former regulation (the SPR's), an amendment of a streamside protection and enhancement area referred to in subsection (2) of this sectionmust be in accordance with thisregulation. With the adoption of our new Official Community Plan (OCP), we therefore had an obligation to bring our policies into accord with the new RAR's...and the changes came following receipt of comments back from the
P: (Applications - Planning!ZONING - ZONIZON-05-11 Riparian Pct Ami / R, 3ort to Council Dec. 05.doc 12/5/2005 Ministry of Environment during the formal circulation process for the new OCP. In other words, we have already adopted the new RAR's into our new OCP for the development permit approval process.
Section 884 of theLocal Government Act,sub-section (2) then states that "All bylawsenacted or works undertaken by a council ... after adoption of (a) an official community plan ... must be consistent with the relevantplan". The current zoning amendment is therefore strictly intended to bring our zoning provisions into consistency with our OCP policies, as perLGASection 884. If we do not bring them into consistency, it will make administration extremely difficult wherein our DP guidelines will say "30 metres from the high water mark" and our zoning bylaw will say "15 metres from the top of bank in the R-1 zone, and 30 metres from the top of bank in all other zones". The 15.0 metre setback in the R - 1 zone, in most cases, would not meet the minimum requirements of the RAR's.
The legislation for OCP authorizes us to regulate protection of environmentally sensitive areas, whereas the legislation for zoning bylaws only authorizes us to regulate the siting of buildings and structures...in other words, the real implementation of the RAR's takes place through the DP process in the OCP, which we have already adopted. At this point in time I would be reluctant to amend our DP policies in the new OCP until we have had a proper trial period.
Communication: No further notification or advertisement is required prior to adoption of this amending bylaw. If approved or rejected, all those who submitted written correspondence will be notified of Council's decision.
Conclusion: Planning services staff support the amendments as outlined since they serve to bring the zoning bylaw into consistency with the recently adopted new official community plan respecting the siting of buildings and structures adjacent to streamside areas. Further, the other amendments in the bylaw will help to assist with administration of the zoning bylaw plus reduce existing non-conformity in the RM-2 and RM-3 zones.

File: ZON-05-11 TO: Administrator FROM: Planning Services Manager DATE: November 1, 2005 SUBJECT: Zoning AmendmentBylaw No.3199, 2005 (RiparianAreaRegulations and other Text Amendments)
Recommendation: That Bylaw No. 3199, 2005 (Riparian Area Regulations and other Text Amendments) be read a 1" and 2nd time, and be scheduled for public hearing.
Council Policy: Official Community Plan: Chapter 9 - Environmentally Sensitive Areas, establishes policies and development permit guidelines in accordance with the Provincial Riparian Area Regulations to protect and enhance the riparian area adjacent to watercourses.
Summary: The primary purpose of this amendment is to bring the zoning bylaw into consistency with the official community plan for the implementation of the Provincial Riparian Area Regulations. To accomplish this, changes are required to Part 2, sections 14 and 15, as well as to Part 5 Definitions of Zoning Bylaw No. 2700.
Other changes are proposed to Zoning Bylaw No. 2700 to rectify other known problems or inconsistencies, particularly: i) Part 2, sub-section 19.5 concerning the parking or storage of derelict vehicles; ii) Part 2, sub-section 19.10 concerning the surfacing of parking areas; iii) Part 2, sub-sections 20.4, 20.5 and 20.6 concerning loading spaces; iv) Part 3, sub-section 41.1 a) to permit triplex or multiplex; v) Part 3, sub-sections 41.2 and 42.2 concerning minimum lot area requirements in the RA/I- 2 and RM - 3 zones; and
Background I Discussion: With the recent adoption of the new official community plan (OCP), revision of the applicable sections of the zoning bylaw are required to bring it into consistency with the OCP regarding the protection and enhancement of riparian areas adjacent to watercourses, lakes, and the ocean and foreshore areas. As noted in the comments sheets, the Discovery Coast Greenways Land Trust has raised a number of concerns, which staff feel would have been better addressed to the Province concerning adoption of the Provincial Riparian Area Regulations, and demonstrates a general lack of understanding of the Riparian Area Regulations and how they are intended to work. Otherwise, no objections were received from the Estuary Management Commission, and representatives from the Provincial Ministry of Environment and Federal Fisheries opted not to provide comment. Other changes are in order with the adoption of the new OCP, particularly regarding Part 2, sub-sections 19.10, 20.4, 20.5 and 20.6. In this regard, with the adoption of the new OCP, development permit
P: /Applications - Planning\ZONING - ZONIZON 05-11 Riparian Tct AmdyReport to Council Nov. 05.doc 11/3/3005 requirements and guidelines have now been established for all commercial, industrial and mufti-family residential developments, wherein the surfacing of parking areas and requirements for loading spacescan now be more appropriately addressed as conditions of approval for developments. As "conditions of use" within the zoning bylaw, these requirements have otherwise been difficult to enforce, and regulation within the development permit approval process will ensure greater certainty.
Another change includes the parking or storage of derelict vehicles, wherein the intent of the changes is to ensure that unregistered vehicles are stored inside a fully enclosed garage or detached accessory building, rather than covered over or screened from public view by a tarpaulin. This item has proven contentious for bylaw enforcement personnel wherein neighbouring property owners complaining about the derelict vehicles have not been satisfied with the prior screening of these unregistered vehicles. The requests for minor revision by the Advisory Planning Commission, and by the Bylaw Enforcement Officer, have been included to the draft bylaw.
Another change concerns the minimum lot area requirements in the RM - 2 and RM - 3 zones. In this regard, staff completed research of property sizes within the subject zones and found 66 existing properties that had less than the minimum 1,000 square metres lot area that were rendered non- conforming when Zoning Bylaw No. 2700 was adopted. The changes as proposed would rectify the problem for 62 of those 66 properties so that those landowners would not encounter complications obtaining mortgages or insurance. Also, by permitting a tiplex or a multiplex in the RM - 2 zone, those existing lots with just the minimum 500 square metres would be able to reconstruct a triplex that would still be consistent with the overall permitted densities of 50 units per hectare.
Communication: Since the amendment concerns or effects all areas of theCity,a neighbourhood public meeting has not been held.Rather,staff recommend that a public hearing be held which will be notified by newspaper advertisement,and by direct mail out to all property owners within 100 metres of the subject walkway.
Conclusion: Planning services staff support the amendments as outlined since they serve to bring the zoning bylaw into consistency with the recently adopted new official community plan, will remove conditions of use effecting parking areas and loading spaces that really do not belong in the zoning bylaw, and will resolve a few other areas in the zoning bylaw that have been cause for concern, particularly the screening of unregistered vehicles, the minimum lots size in the RM -2 and RM - 3 zones, and the PA -1 zoning ofa strip of parkland dedication area.

File: ZON-05-12 TO: City Manager FROM: Ian Buck DATE: December 6, 2005 SUBJECT: Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3201, 2005 - 2099 Evergreen Road
Recommendation: That, Bylaw No. 3201 to rezone 2099 Evergreen Road from the Residential infill one zone (Ri-1) to the Residential one zone (R-1), receive first and second readings and proceed to public hearing.
Council Policy: Official Community Plan The subject property is designated Residential on Map Schedule 1 and Low Density on Map Schedule 4 of the Official Community Plan.
Zoning Bylaw 2700,1998
Section 29 outlines the Residential one zone (R-1) Section 37 outlines the Residential infill one zone (Ri-1)
Summary: The applicant has applied to rezone the property from the Residential infill one zone (Ri-1) to the Residential one zone (R-1) to limit the future residential development of the subject property to single family dwellings.
Background: The subject property is a 20.5 hectare parcel of vacant land currently zoned Residential infill one zone (Ri-1) located south of the Forest Grove subdivision at the end of Nikola Road. The property is diagonally bisected by the headwaters of Simms Creek and a headwater wetland which functions to regulate the peak flow of water during high water flow and/or high rainfall periods. The wetland also contributes to water quality by capturing and filtering sediments.
The current zoning of the subject property permits 25 units per hectare with residential uses ranging from a single family residence to a multiplex building. Permitted non residential uses include agriculture, silviculture, commercial nursery and riding academy.
Discussion: The applicants have requested approval for rezoning to the Residential one zone to facilitate future single family residential development of the subject lands consistent with the Forest Grove subdivision directly north. Although the current zoning of the property would permit the subdivision to proceed without rezoning, rezoning to the R-1 zone will remove the possibility of non-residential uses or multiple family dwellings on the property in the future.
P.yApplications - Planning4ZONING - ZON7ON--05-12 2099 Evergreen RCPReport to CounciLdoc 1216/2005 While the applicants have supplied a stormwater management plan which includes a conceptual subdivision plan, at this point in time they have only requested consideration for rezoning and have not applied for subdivision or for a relaxation of the riparian area setbacks to permit construction of a stream crossing. Based on the current pace of development in the Forest Grove subdivision, the Planning Services Department does not anticipate these applications will be brought forward in the next four to five years. As such there will be no development or removal of vegetation permitted within the riparian assessment area (30 metres from high water mark) without an approved Development Permit. This will require approvals in accordance with the recommendations of a Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP) and Federal Fisheries.
Planning staff feel that the proposed zoning change will-reduce potential impacts to the Simms Creek watershed for two reasons. First, by restricting the currently permitted agricultural uses which could lead to nutrient, pathogen and other contamination of Simms Creek through surface runoff, groundwater seepage, sedimentation or from direct livestock access to the creek and wetland area, the water quality is better protected. Second, the maximum lot coverage of a residential building lot will be reduced from 65% currently permitted in the Ri-1 zone, to 35% in the R-1 zone. Reduced lot coverage will allow more vegetated area for infiltration of stormwater thereby helping to maintain more of the natural groundwater recharge in addition to reducing the complexity of stormwater management infrastructure.
Communication: The applicant held a neighbourhood public meeting on November 17, 2005. Two adjacent landowners attended the meeting and no negative comments were received.
Conclusion: Planning Services staff recommend that Bylaw No. 3201 to rezone 2099 Evergreen Road from the Residential infill one zone (Ri-1) to the Residential one zone (R- 1), receive first and second readings and proceed to public hearing.

ZoningBylaw Amendment Application Comment Sheet
File: ZON-05-12 DATE SENT: November 2, 2005 CIVIC ADDRESS: 2099 Evergreen Road
We have received an application for a Zoning Bylaw Amendment and would appreciate your comments. If we do not receive a written response by November 22, 2005 (3 weeks from mailing), we will assume your interests are unaffected.
Planning Staff recommend that Bylaw No. 3201 to rezone PLANNING STAFF 2099 Evergreen Road from the Residential infill one zone (Ri- COMMENTS: 1) to the Residential one zone (R-1), receive first and second Date received: Dec 6/05 readings and proceed to public hearing. BUILDING STAFF COMMENTS:
Date received: Servicing Issues: ENGINEERING STAFF City records indicate that the subject property is currently COMMENTS: unserviced: The closest water main is a 150 AC on Evergreen at the Date received: Nov 24/05 corner of Walworth ROW. There is also a 760 steel water main that is on Walworth North of Evergreen and on Evergreen East of Walworth. However the suitability of supply would need to be determined by a Professional Engineer. The closest Sanitary Main available is a section of 200 main west of Walworth on Evergreen and a 250 Stub into the manhole at Walworth and Evergreen facing south. It may be possible to direct some flow to the 200 stub on Pinecrest West of Jaqueline. The area has ditch drainage. Forest Grove Subdivision to the North (at build out) may have additional capacity.
Prior to further development: The supply of adequate potable water flows and pressures (for consumption as well as for fire flows) is to be confirmed through application of the District's water distribution model (at the applicant's cost). Upgrades, as required to serve the development would be the responsibility of the applicant. The applicant is responsible for ensuring that there is adequate Sanitary capacity downstream and must show calculations demonstrating this. The applicant is responsible forensuringdownstream P: !Applications - Planning ZONING - ZONIZON-05-12 2099 Evergr, ,, R ' COMMENTS SHEET.doc drainage is not adversely affected in both quantity or quality and that there is adequate Storm Drain capacity downstream and must show calculations demonstrating this.
Environmental Issues: The property for rezoning is intersected by Simms Creek and further development of the site will trigger the need for development permit.
The above issues will need to be addressed at the time of development, however, in terms of the proposed land use changes as proposed by this zoning application, Engineering Services has no objections. FIRE DEPARTMENT STAFF COMMENTS:
Date received: 1) It is commendable to keep development outside the 30m setback, the DISCOVERY COAST setback area needs to be undisturbed on Simms Creek and tributaries; 2) GREENWAYS LAND Wetlands that have been and are going to be drained need to be replaced at TRUSTCOMMENTS: least by a holding pond with slow summer release to keep Simms Creek flows; 3) Buffer along the Inland Island Highway; 4) Retain as many trees Date received: Nov 10/05 - as possible; 5) fish noted on other side of highway (Cornfield), therefore maintain stream as conduit; 6) Maintain minimum l Om buffer for wetland; Revised Nov 18/05 7) Review hydrology at high water; 8) Stream crossing planned in wetted area, prefer use of existing road (southward) followed by a turn west, then north to new housing area, or other less impacting area; 9) The size of the creek requires a bridge crossing, not a culvert, if development is to proceed on southwest corner of property and if an alternate route is not established-, 10 Concern regarding proposed housing densi1y Simms Creek Stewardship East of the Inner Island Highway, the north fork Society of Simms Creek flows through an alder forest in a general southeast direction towards the southern COMMENTS: end of Walworth Road. In places, the stream is easily identifiable because of its cleared width Date received: Nov 10/05 - (1-2 metres), a small but discernable stream bank Revised Nov 18/05 in places and an obvious flow of water.The creek is bounded on either side by 10-15 metres of sedges growing in standing water with no distinct sign of obvious flow. The sedge area forms a significant part of the wetland complex. In some places the sedges become part of the creek, but the "creek" itself is identifiable because of the flow. In other places, fallen alders and other vegetation obscure the creek. Other than fordry summer months when the perched Inner Island Highway culvert of north Simms eliminates water flow to this area, the creek channel appears to be suitable habitat for juvenile coho and cutthroat trout. A full length stream channel assessment from the highway to Walworth Road would reveal if there are any spawning gravels in the creek bed.
<
On another note, we have observed that the
P: (Applications - Planning\ZONING - ZONIZON-05-12 2099 Evergreen Rd1COMMENTS SHEETdoc extension of Evergreen Road on the west side of Walworth is currently serving as a large "pond". This "pond" drains out at the east end into a ditchline running down Walworth Road which then flows directly into the main channel of north Simms Creek. Because of the observable water flow from the "pond", it is quite possible that the 16 ha property north of Evergreen, extending to Willis Road is not tributary to Nunns Creek, but in fact, is part of Simms Creek watershed. This is based on the premise that Walworth Road serves as
a barrier to drainage eastward . Water which collects on the east side of the Inner Island Highway in the 16 ha parcel north of Evergreen is basically forced to drain southward parallel to Walworth Road. If this information is validated by city engineering staff, the January 2005 stormwater drainage maps should be updated.
The southwest corner of Walworth and Evergreen as shown in the attached images is a potential candidate area for stormwater detention.

File: 5460-60 TROU TO: City Manager FROM: Transportation Specialist DATE: November 17, 2005 SUBJECT: Truck and Dangerous Goods Routes Recommendation: THAT the City adopt the amendment of Traffic and Highways Bylaw #3043 to include both the Truck Route and the Dangerous Goods Route. Summary: The lack of designated truck routes in the city inhibits the provision for safe vehicular movement and the transportation of dangerous goods away from sensitive areas. Designated truck routes will assist truck operators to travel on more appropriate routes, keep heavy truck traffic and potentially harmful goods away from inappropriate areas, reduce conflicts between large trucks and passenger vehicles and assist in smoother traffic flow patterns. Clear signage will assist the City's response and enforcement services to ensure traffic compliance with this initiative. Background: In May 2004, Council adopted the Master Transportation Plan (MTP). The MTP identified the need to introduce truck and dangerous goods routes for the community and the proposed routes are consistent with the recommendations made within the MTP. The purpose of the Truck Route and Dangerous Goods Route bylaws is to designate the recommended truck route and dangerous goods routes in order to minimize the intrusion of trucks through residential areas. This new truck route will smooth the flow of people and goods through our city. Residents have consistently expressed concern that the inappropriate operation of trucks in their neighbourhoods has created safety problems and deteriorated the quality of life in their communities. By removing trucks from inappropriate streets, they would operate on arterial streets and highways designed with truck traffic in mind where traffic controls more suited for truck operations and where speeds are generally higher, resulting in reduced conflicts between large trucks and passenger vehicles and reduced emissions. Discussion: Truck Routes Enacting a truck route means that trucks must keep to the designated routes and not inappropriately utilize residential streets. When delivering to a location that is not on a truck route, they must stay on the designated route and take the shortest path between the designated route and their destination. Confining truck operation to these routes should enable trucks to operate in a more energy-efficient, time saving, and pollution-reducing level. 7_
F: IDATAIREPORTSIReports 2005 JJG\Draft Truck-Routes.doc It is recommended that the following roadways be included in the truck route: Dogwood Street from the Jubilee Parkway to 9th Avenue; 9th Avenue/Homewood Road/14th Avenue from Dogwood Street to the Inland Island Highway; 16th Avenue between the Inland Island Highway and Dogwood Street; Dogwood Street from 16th Avenue to Discovery Crescent; And Petersen Road between 14th Avenue and the Island Highway. Any road under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transportation must always be considered a truck route and therefore the Inland Island Highway 19, Jubilee Parkway, Highway 28, and the Island Highway 19A between the Inland Island Highway 19 and the ferry terminal fall into this category. Trucks destined to the residential area between the Jubilee Parkway and 14th Avenue/Homewood Road will all be originating either south of the municipality or in the Downtown or Campbellton area. These trucks must now make a decision as to whether to use the Inland Island Highway, Dogwood Street, or the Island Highway in order to travel to their destination and they can do this at either end of this residential area. The recommended truck routes are illustratedin Schedule J.
Dangerous Goods Routes (DGR) All trucks carrying dangerous goods within the City of Campbell River will be limited to provincially owned highways, namely the Inland Island Highway 19, Highway 28, Jubilee Parkway, and the Island Highway 19A between the Inland Island Highway 19 and the ferry terminal. Any trucks carrying such goods to destinations within the City will now be required to take the shortest distance between these routes and their destination using the designated truck routes wherever possible. Vehicles carrying dangerous goods to and from destinations within Campbell River must follow the Truck Routes as illustrated in Schedule J. In order to ensure conformance with the DGR, signs will be placed on the provincial highways at the entrance to the city. The signs will include an emergency contact telephone number and a reference to the bylaw and fines for infractions. This approach to DGR awareness is employed by other BC communities. Communications: The City plans to advertise to Truck Route and DGR information on its website as well as prepare pamphlets for distribution to the public and trucking companies, which identify the truck routes and details of the bylaws.

Provincial Highways are subject to provincial jurisdiction and are not subject to this Bylaw - for information on any applicable restrictions contact the provincial authorities. CITY OF CAMPBELL RIVER FINANCIAL PLANNING MANAGER
TO: City Manager FROM: Financial Planning Manager DATE: December 6, 2005 SUBJECT: Purchase of Three-Acre Foreshore Site
Recommendation: That Council give first three readings to General Reserve Fund Expenditure Ammendment Bylaw No. 3212 for the purpose of purchasing Block C, District Lot 165, Sayward Land District and that the financial plan be amended accordingly.
Background: For several years the City has attempted to develop the lands known as the "six-acre site".In May 2005 Council adopted bylaw 3171 to authorize $700,000 to be expended from the General Reserve Fund for construction of a community facility on the site. However, since that time the City's intentions for the site have changed.
In June of this year Council approved a plan that would see the six acres subdivided with the transference of the City's half of the site to the City fee simple. The remaining three acres will be transferred to the Campbell River Indian Band with restricted title.
The City has begun the process of marketing the site and has put forward a request for proposals.
Discussion: The current plan for this site entails payment by the City to the Province for the difference between community use/public assembly, PA1 and highest and best use, RM4 for the three acre site. This amounts to $700,000 plus an additional $38,000 for the Property Transfer Tax. An initial payment of $100,000 plus the property transfer tax is due on December 16th 2005. The remaining $600,000, plus Interest at the rate of 3% per annum, is payable over the next four years and can be paid out at any time without penalty.
As the City is no longer going to construct a community facility on the site themselves, the construction expenditure authorized in bylaw 3171 is no longer needed. Instead these funds are now required to purchase the property.
Conclusion: The proposed amendments to bylaw 3171 will authorize the expenditures necessary to proceed with the purchase of the three acre site.

I enjoyed meeting with you, Mr. Doug Raines, City Manager, and Councillors Ashley, Grant, Matthews and Ostler. I appreciated the open and straightforward discussionswe had on health care issues facing your region. During the meeting, we discussed the future of a proposed health care facility in your region. You also expressed concern that the Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA) has proposed to turn your existing hospital into a campus of care and that your community is not in agreement with the plan. I have asked Ministry of Health staff to follow up with VIHA to determine the status ofany new construction, and to share your concerns about the conversion of your existing hospital. VIHA is committed to engaging in an extensive consultation process over the next three months, anticipating a Board approved strategic plan by March 2006. I understand numerous open houses and information sessions are planned, as well as meetings with key stakeholders groups. I encourage you to continue to work with VIHA administration staff to ensure an agreeable solution is achieved that best considers the health needs ofyour area. Thank you for the opportunity to meet at UBCM. I value your council's commitment and dedication to the residents of Campbell River. Yours truly,

Dear Members of Council
Kinsmen and Kinettesplay a vital role in Canadiansociety.We raise funds for worthycauses,large and small; we undertake ambitious service projects to meet local communityneeds;we offer leadership training to individuals who yearn to make positive changes in both their country and their personal lives, and we proudly demonstrate to the rest of the world that we love being Canadian.
Once a year, Kinsmen and Kinettes ask various municipal, provincial and federal representatives to help us maintain our high level of service by placing a 'Message-of-Support' in KIN Magazine, the magazine received and read by every member of our national non-profit organization for the past 85 years. These 'thank you' messages give you the opportunity to express your appreciation to Kin members who have raised funds and donated countless hours to serve the needs of fellow Canadians and the communities they call home.
Last year, in almost 600 locations throughout the country, our members raised over $15 millionin the name of community service. We accomplished this incredible feat by doing what we do best-being charitable neighbours.Whether it was holdingbarbecues,telethons, home lotteries or seasonal fairs, Kinsmen and Kinettes turned their dedication into dollars wherever and whenever desperate needdemanded.For the Canadian Cystic FibrosisFoundation,a truly deserving organization and one that has been at the receiving end of Kin generosity for over 40 years, members' efforts have resulted in over $32 million in needed research funding.
Kin Canada needs your support for our annual 'Message-of-Support' campaign so that our members can continue to provide assistance to the many groups, organizations and individuals that rely on us. By helping to build arenas, we are helping to build communities. By supporting blood clinics, food banks and telephone helplines, we are supporting our neighbours. By fighting debilitating diseases like cystic fibrosis and multiple sclerosis, we are fighting for a brighter future for the thousands of Canadians who live with these afflictions.
Your 'Message-of-Support' is a valuable investment in nearly 8,000 of your country's hardest-working, most committed volunteers and an investment in your own communities. We ask that you please show your support by completing the enclosed order form and returning it today.
We thank you for your consideration.
Yours in Kin,

Open letter to Mayor Nash and Council Mayor elect McDonell and Council elect CR Courier Islander, CR Mirror and TV10
I owe a great deal of thanks to family and friends for their support in the recent municipal election campaign, and to all those who placed their trust in me by voting for me. Thanks also to Channel 10 and the Courier and Mirror newspapers for enabling candidates to get their messages out.
Much appreciation is due Mayor Nash and outgoing Councillors Ashley, Cornfield and Matthews for their hard work and dedication, and congratulations to elected Mayor McDonell and Councillors. It was clear from the start that I was in the company of candidates of very high caliber and public commitment. I urge that, win or lose we all continue to work to make Campbell River a better place to live.
Many important issues were raised in this campaign, and the voters will be watching to see that candidates fulfill their commitments. It is extremely important that we defend our water systems from creeping privatisation, and our rivers and estuaries from harmful exploitation.I also would like to hear from Council what steps are taken by the City when incidents such as the recent fish kill in Simms Creek occur.
Thank you.It has been an honor to participate and to be heard.
Sincerely,.
Dale Bradley CITY OF CAMPBELL RIVER OFFICE OF THE MAYOR

File: 0360-20/SADV TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Mayor's Executive Assistant DATE: November 17th 2005 SUBJECT: NOVEMBER 2ND, 2005 SENIORS' ADVISORY COMMISSION MEETING
Recommendation:
That the Seniors' Advisory Commission recommend to Council that in the future, the sale and use of fireworks in Campbell River be restricted to special events administered by the Fire Department for the entertainment of the community.
Background:
At its November 2nd, 2005 meeting, the Commission discussed the use of fireworks over the Halloween period noting a number of dangerous and unsupervised situations that took place in neighbourhoods throughout the community. Commission members expressed concern with a number of incidents that took place this past Halloween that were both noisy and dangerous. They fear that this type of activity could cause serious harm in the future if controls are not put in place to prevent them.
Respectfully submitted,

MINUTES of the Seniors' Advisory Commission meeting held on Wednesday,
November 2nd,2005, at 2:00 prn in the Municipal Hall Committee Room.
PRESENT: A/Chair Lee Rumley, StanGoodrich,EvelynBurley,Louis Robinson, John Ebert, Richard Boehm, Doug Cousins, Councillor Mary Ashley, and Laurel Klus - Recording Secretary ABSENT: Chuck Saults and Bill Halstead - Municipal Clerk.
1. DELEGATION: Ian Baikie, Assistant Fire Chief in charge of 911, was in attendance to review the failed Health One Service, and provide options and suggestions.Mr. Baikie distributed copies of the Health One Service call information as well as a draft brochure/guide which he had his staff prepare as an example of what could be done in a relatively inexpensive manner. He was advised that the problem is not in putting the information into a brochure; it is with the gathering and updating of information. Councillor Ashley noted that the Chamber of Commerce, who compiled the original information for this service, has an issue with keeping the database updated as they do not have the manpower.Mr. Baikie indicated that many of the calls that the Health One Service received were referred to the Nurses' Line and, in fact, noted that maybe this line fills the need on its own. He was advised that the Nurses' Line does not fit the purpose the Health One Service was developed for.He added that the name of the service may have also been a problem. Mr. Baikie reviewed the establishment of the 911 Service, noting that previous to 1995 there was no 911 service on Vancouver Island.There are 5 Regional District's on the Island partnered in this service. Mr. Baikie provided advice on Fire Safety Plans for condo developments noting that there should be lists of all condo residents with mobility issues in these developments so that, should an emergency occur, they can be located and evacuated in a safe and timely manner. He suggests that Strata Council's arrange to have Fire Department representatives assist in the preparation of plans for their developments. Mr. Baikie left the meeting at 2:40 pm. A brief discussion ensued with regard to the development of a brochure (in place of the Health One Service) wherein it was suggested the preamble reference the year the information was provided.It was also suggested that maybe the Volunteer Centre might be able to assist with compiling and updating information.
2. MINUTES: (a) Item 5(b) of the October 5th minutes is to be amended in the second sentence where it references the inclusion of personal incidents/situations in the next report.Instead, it should state that "They were directed to prepare a further report that might reflect health care situations and/or incidents."
Item 7(a) should be amended in the second sentence by deleting reference to "...the next two meetings..." and replacing it with "...items from this meeting..."
M.S. Ebert/Robinson:"That the minutes of the October 5th, 2005 meeting, be adopted as amended." Carried.

Airporter?) to and from an event."

Mayor R. McDonell CHAIR
W.T. Halstead CITY CLERK MAYOR NASH'S PRESENTATION OF FREEDOM OF THE CITY TO JIM LORNIE, DOT ANDREWS AND BILL HARRISON (December 5"', 2005)
Greetings to Freeman Ashley, Mayor-Elect McDonell, Councillors- Elect, Judge Carol Lazar, Dignitaries and Special Guests, families and friends: It is my privilege and honour, on this special day in the City of Campbell River and on behalf of you the citizens of this community and my Council, to bestow the high honour of Freedom of the City of Campbell River on three individuals who have long served our community for the benefit and betterment of us all. The Honour of Freeman is the highest honour that we, as the City of Campbell River, can bestow on an individual. This honour is not lightly given and has, in fact, only been awarded three times before. The first was bestowed on Tom Barnett at the June 30th, 1982 official opening of the then new Municipal Hall The second citizen to receive this honour was Robert Ostler on December 2' ", 1991. The third citizen to receive this prestigious award on July I, 1994 is retiring Councillor Mary Ashley. The title of Freeman shows not only the City's recognition of selfless acts and deeds performed by a citizen of our community, but our appreciation and thanks for the tireless commitment to the community by this honoured person. Tonight, I am honoured to pay tribute to Dot Andrews, Bill Harrison and Jim Lornie by bestowing upon them the title of Freeman of Campbell River. Dot Andrews: The City of Campbell River believes Dot Andrews to be a worthy recipient of this honour. Dot has spent much of her life in the service of others, and much of that in the service of the citizens of Campbell River. I have personally known Dot for 25 years. Dot is a lifelong resident of Campbell River except during her early adult years when her husband's work as a logger took them to nearby logging camps. The experience of logging camp life would be an asset later as a local politician. As a young woman, Dot lifeguarded at the Centennial Pool and coached for the Campbell River Killer Whales Swim Club. She became very active in the City of Campbell River Trail Riders' Association. During the 1970's and through to the 1990's, she was an active supporter of the Campbell River Shrine Club. Dot's first involvement in local politics was as a Trustee for School District No. 72 from 1973 to 1984. She was elected Chair in 1979, a position which she held until she left the Board in 1984. Dot was elected as an Electoral Area Director of the Comox- Strathcona Regional Board in 1988, and served in that position until 1991 when her area (Quinsam Heights) was amalgamated with the District of Campbell River.She was an active participant in the discussions that preceded her Electoral Area voting to become part of the municipality of Campbell River, and as was common practice was appointed to Council to represent her constituents in the transition. She was then elected as a Councillor in 1993, 1996 and 1999 serving through 2002. -3- While serving as Councillor, Dot was appointed as one of Campbell River's representatives on the Regional Board and was elected to the position of Chair of the Comox-Strathcona Regional Board from 1992 through 2002. As Chair, she was known to be an effective, impartial leader through many very difficult and challenging years of regional governance. She served as district representative on the Campbell River General Hospital Board. Dot's involvement as a School Trustee, Regional Director and Municipal Councillor totals 26 years.She always made herself accessible to her constituents. Dot was appointed as Councillor responsible for Public Works, Safety and Traffic. She championed the referendum resulting in the completion of our new Police & Safety Building. Her responsibilities as Councillor included serving on the Air & Water Quality Select Committee and the Emergency Planning Committee. Dot has a solid record of community service that spans 50 years.This comprehensive list of community service indicates that Dot Andrews has provided "above and beyond the call" service to the people of Campbell River. She did so with a willing and selfless spirit, and as with the other 2 recipients - this record of service barely scratches the surface. I am proud, on your behalf, to bestow upon Dot Andrews, the title "Freeman of the City of Campbell River". Dot, would you please come forward. 4 Bill Harrison: It is now my pleasure to pay tribute to Bill Harrison. Bill grew up in Armstrong, British Columbia. He received his education there, in Wenatchee Washington, at the University of the Americas in Mexico City, at the University of Victoria, at Notre Dame College in Nelson and in Oregon and the University of Idaho. Bill began his career as a reporter and editor in Armstrong. He began his teaching career in Campbell River and taught here from 1960 to 1994. Over the years, Bill was actively involved in the Campbell River and District Teachers' Association and the BC Teachers' Federation. He served on the Board of the Campbell River Television Association, and as a Director of the Campbell River & District Winter Club. Bill was a founding member of the Campbell River Board of Directors of the Campbell River Art Gallery where he served for many years. When Weyerhaeuser soughtCityrepresentationonthe Community Advisory Committee for its certification process, Bill volunteered and held that position for several years. Bill was first elected Councillor in 1986. He was re-elected in 1987, 1990, 1993, 1996 and 1999, spending 16 years on Council. Bill carried the very busy portfolio of Community Economic DevelopmentandAirTransportation. Hewas Council's representative on the Estuary Management Commission, liaison for the Campbell River Economic Development Corporation since its inception, and was instrumental in the Working Group on Strategic Services for the City. 5
Bill also Chaired the 20' Anniversary Select Committee for our Sister City relationship with Ishikari, Japan, and currently sits on the 25th Anniversary Select Committee for Ishikari. Bill was one of Campbell River's representatives for many years on the Strathcona Regional District Board where he Chaired the Regional Solid Waste Committee and Co-Chaired the Greater Campbell River Committee. Bill was appointed to the North Island College Board of Governors where he was Vice-Chair in 1991 and Chair of the Board in 9992, and brought to the Board his strong leadership skills. He joined the College Foundation Board in 1995 and became Chair in 9998. Bill served on a number of Committees for the Provincial Government including the Salmon Aquaculture Committee and the Cogeneration Project Review Committee. Bill was highly regarded on Council for his sage advice which was given sparingly, but listened to very carefully.He brought a strong culture of respect and dignity to Council. He has provided advice and comfort to many Campbell River citizens over the years, many of whom are former students. it is my great honour, on your behalf, to bestow upon Bill Harrison., the title of Freeman of the City of Campbell River.Bill, would you please come forward. 6 Jim Lornie: I wish now to pay tribute to Jim Lornie, Campbell River's longest serving Mayor, from 1993 until 2002. Jim grew up in north Campbell River on his grandparents' farm. As a teenager he did like most boys of that era, he worked on seine boats during the summers learning about commercial fishing. He received his teaching degree from the University of British Columbia. Jim was the managing partner of Walcan Seafoods on Quadra Island for 18 years, employing many citizens of both Quadra Island and Campbell River communities. He is now a "gentleman farmer" raising beef cattle, chickens, hay and market garden crops down Island Jimrepresentedhiscommunityverycompetently and respectfully during his years as Mayor. He was deeply involved in the Dogwood Street extension to Jubilee Parkway, the four-laning of the Inland Island Highway from Courtenay to Campbell River, the provision of sewer infrastructure to Quinsam Heights and North Campbell River, and the development of the Discovery Harbour retail development. Jim was one of the instigators of the Campbell River Estuary Management Plan, of which he is very proud. Jim also began the practice of assigning each Councillor a specific "portfolio" ; a practice which remains to this day. Jim was involved in many of the initial discussions for the cruise ship terminal.The Tyee Spit was purchased on his watch and the Community Centre and Police buildings constructed. He sat as Local Government rep on several local Treaty Negotiations' tables. 7

He continues to do valuable project work for the Provincial Government. Jim served as President of the Association of Vancouver Island Municipalities.He was an influential member of the Community Economic Adjustment Initiatives Project Steering Committee for Western Economic Development.He was also a member of the Forest Renewal Community Committee. Jim is a Board member of the BC Region of the Nature Conservancy of Canada. It is my pleasure, on your behalf, to bestow upon Jim Lornie, the longest standing Mayor of Campbell River, the title of Freeman of the City of Campbell River. Jim, would you please come forward. Good evening Freeman Mary Ashley, Dot Andrews, Bill Harrison, Jim Lomie,
Welcome to Chiefs Robert Pollard, Darren Blaney, Ralph Dick, John Smith, Steven Dick, honoured guests, members of Council and staff,citizens of Campbell River.
Thank you all for attending this special evening celebrationof our Freeman and the Inaugural meeting ofyour new Council.
Ladies and gentlemen, Campbell River is a great place to live, work and retire. For the next three years, I know it will also be a great place to be serving as your mayor.
The democratic process of an election of representatives for our city is a time when we all reflect on what we are as a community. It's a time when citizens step forward to offer their time and commitment to a process that in fact makes us a community.
As one of my first acts as mayor, I would like to thank all of the candidates who offered to serve by running for public office. We as a community are indeed fortunate to have so Many who where prepared to come forward and participate in this election.
I would also like to takethis opportunityto thank all of the many volunteers who have contributed countlesshours to makethis community the terrificplace that it is.
We only have to look around to see what we can accomplish when we work together as a community. This very building we are in today came about as a result of the effort of many individuals who had a vision for what we needed and then made it happen. Much of the work done by Council over the past years is a result of the efforts of -four individuals who have contributed their time and energies to this community. Freeman Mary Ashley, former Mayor Lynn Nash, former Councillors Bill Mathews and Charlie Cornfield have each brought valuable experience and insights to the roles they filled over the years.
The list of accomplishments for Mary, Lynn, Bill and Charlie would be quite lengthy as each year served had many issues and challenges faced during their tenures. Their individual and combined efforts have changed the face of our community and laid a foundation for the new council to build on. I am sure that in the years ahead each will continue to contribute in areas where their experience and interests take them.
Tonight we begin our journey forward with a new and dynamic group of individuals. What lies ahead will be very much determined by your new council. We have the ideas, experiences and skills brought forward by our three incumbents, Morgan Oslter,Roy Grantand Laird Ruehlen.Add thetalents and enthusiasmof MaryStorry,Andy Adamsand Ziggy Stewart and we have an exciting team.
I say we, because as your Mayor, I see my role as a reflectionof thewill of the citizens ofCampbellRiver. My duties include finding the best in each of the councillorsyou have elected and directing that energy towards the goals that will benefit this city.
We have many challenges ahead.
Campbell River is a changing community. The strength of our natural resource sectors has been at the heart of our existence for over a hundred years. The forests, the ocean, and the earth below our feet have provided us with the building blocks for our community and they have served us well.
Some might say that we are at a crossroads as a community. The world around us is recognizing those same forests, oceans and earth as wildlife sanctuaries, recreation areas and property suitable for developing a home for retirement.
The challenge this council will face, in fact we all face, is to find a balance.
So the process begins tonight. Finding a new balance, a center of our being as a community. I believe we can reach that point. We have a team that can and will work together with the citizens of this community to achieve our goals and build a new vision.
Building a new vision doesn't happen over night. It takes longer than the two- week transitionbetween theelectionon November 19thandtonight's inauguration of your new council. Over the next few weeks, this Council will have its hands full in getting better acquainted with each other and their new roles. For the new Councillors and myself the materials to be reviewed will be an exciting challenge.
Starting January 1st,Iwill be asking Council to embark on a 100-day review process.During these 100 days we will have opportunity to examine the structure ofcommittees,the roles of commissions and the mandates of boards that respondto Council. Thegoal will be to address the concerns and issues that were raised through the election and determine what changes would be in the best interest of the community.
There are seminars, retreats and meetings that are scheduled and will proceed as planned. In January all new members of Council will attend a seminar put on by the Union of BC Municipalities. This is an essential process that puts into perspective the roles and responsibilities of elected officials. It is also a valuableopportunity to network with other Mayorsand Councillorsfrom around VancouverIsland.
In February, Council and City Staff will hold their Annual Strategic Planning Retreat where we will establish our goals and priorities for the upcoming year.
In March the process of budgeting the funds necessary to operate for the next year will take place.
During this review process the business of the City must continue. Councillors will be assigned portfolios, committees and boards to tend to. I will also be asking sitting members of Council committees to continue on until the spring when we will have completed our review.
The structure of the regular meetings of Council on the first three Mondays and the fourth Tuesday as Committee of the Whole will remain in place.
I have had an opportunity to meet with each councillor and have assigned them portfolios to match their skills and interests.
Councillor Morgan Ostter will continue with her portfolio of Culture and Tourism while also assuming the addition of Environment and Parks. I am also seeking Council's endorsement of Councillor Ostler to be on the Regional District Board representing Campbell River.
The role of Regional District Board Director will require the experience that Councillor Roy Grant brings to the table and I will ask that Council endorse him to that position. Also Councillor Grant will be assigned the portfolio of Public Works and Transportation so he can complete his initiatives with the Campbell River Airport and the Middle Point Barge Facility.
Councillor Laird Ruehlen will take on the portfolio of Seniors & Youth along with Community Planning. I am also asking Councillor Ruehlen to continue on the Strathcona Gardens Commission, the Vancouver Island Regional Library and the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Commission.
The new members ofCouncilbring experience and skills that will be put to work alongside the incumbent Councillors.
Councillor Mary Stony will take on the Portfolio of Economic Development and will be the City liaison to RiverCorp. Her experience as a Councillor in Penticton will provide a new perspective on our efforts to promote business and economic development. I am also asking Councillor Storry to sit on the BC Ferries Corporation Coastal Council on behalf of our community.
The portfolio of Public Safety will be taken over by Councillor Ziggy Stewart who will bring his high energy to this important community service area.
The final portfolio of Finance and Personnel will come under the guidance of Councillor Andy Adams who will bring new ideas to the table. Councillor Adams will have Councillor Grant and Ruehlen sifting with him on the Audit, Finance and Personnel Committee. I have also asked Councillor Adams to sit on the Advisory Planning Commission and the Development Liaison Group.
Iwill also be asking Council to endorse me as the third representative to the Regional District Board.
To recognize the importance to our community of the 2010 Olympics, the development of our Cruise ship dock and the investment the city will be making in the promotion of tourism, I am announcing tonight the formation of the Mayor's Roundtable on Tourism, Events, Attractions and Marketing.I believe there is much we can accomplish over the next three years in this sector of our economy and I am personally committed to see it reach its full potential.
Ladies and Gentleman it has been a full evening.
Thank you to Her Honour Judge Carol Lazar, to Reverend Blair Haggart, and to Constables Dave Dormuth and Chris Pallan of the Campbell River RCMP Detachment for taking part in this evening's Inaugural meeting, and most importantly thank you for being with us all this evening.

M. DeGagne entered the meeting at 4:12 p.m. 2. MINUTES: (a) Review of October 19, 2005 meeting minutes.
"That the October 19, 2005 Development Liaision Group meeting minutes be adopted as circulated. "
3. BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES (a) Alternate Development Standards Study
The Consultants are preparing a final revised report which will be provided to Council by the end of November, 2005 with a request that the recommendations contained in Phase 1 be adopted in principle, and approval to proceed with Phase 2. To clarify, the intent of Phase 1 was to define what the community wants to see, while implementation matters: legal advice and bylaw changes to establish the vision will be done in Phase 2. A copy of the final revised Phase 1 report will be provided to the Group.
(b) Zoning Bylaw Review
The Zoning Bylaw Review commenced with the LS-1 zone tabled from the previous meeting. A subcommittee consisting of R. Page 2 Walker, J. Dobinson, G. McLaughlin, I. Buck and an Engineering representative was struck to look into the LS-1 zone. Residential zones were then discussed, starting with R-1 & R-1 A, and centered around front-yard setbacks for garages; the number of driveways allowed in the R1-A zone; and combining the two zones and allowing all existing areas to have a legal suite subject to meeting the Building Code requirements.
Concern was expressed by the Planning Services Manager that insufficient space was left in front of a garage for parking completely within a lot; not being consistent with the size of a parking stall legislated elsewhere. He suggested that the setback be changed to either 6.0 or 7.0 meters to bring it into consistency, grandfathering all existing lots created under the 5.0 m setback requirement. It was recommended that a second driveway should be allowed in the R1-A zone. There was a consensus that R-1A should be left as a zone, not combined with R- 1. The Group suggested that staff provide a report/study regarding secondary suite zoning.
R-3 zone was then discussed as it has been built on Hilchey Rd.It was felt that the narrow lot concept worked well but perhaps not so much when the frontage was on an arterial road. Parking problems were noted in the back lane. The cost of the construction of the lane was also a concern, as were suites, which added to congestion in the laneway. Examples of R-4 zone exist on Niluht, Wayne and Twillingate as well as Discovery Drive. Redevelopment of the older properties on Twillingate, given the prevalence of existing housing suitable for the secondary residence in the front portion of the lot did not work, due to requirements that the two residences be architecturally compatible and the size limitations on the residence at the rear. It was suggested consideration be given to relaxing the requirement that the secondary residence be located at the rear. As an alternative, it may be possible to panhandle the lots, subject to market conditions. Regarding RM-4 a suggestion that the density and permitted building height be increased to allow for an 8 storey building in the downtown area was followed by discussions which concluded that in the downtown area zoning should be site-specific, to open opportunities for high-density development.

4. REPORTS&CORRESPONDENCE: Zoning Bylaw Review (This item to be dealt with last)
The Planning Services Manager explained to the Commission that he is reviewing the zones, looking for ideas from the Commission. The R-1 and R-1A zones were discussed, noting the problems with allowing only one driveway access in the R-1 A zone, where a secondary suite is allowed. The inconsistency with charging for a second water service connection when the zoning is for a single- family dwelling. The R-2 duplex zone allows for more than one driveway but doesn't allow a single family dwelling. The R-3 zone is a smaller lot configuration and allows for a secondary suite (i.e. Hilchey Road) with a lane access. Due to parking problems in the laneway at the back of the property, it was suggested that the front setback be moved closer to the street to allow for more parking in the rear.Consensus reached to recommend removing the secondary suite from the R-3 zone and decrease the lot area and frontage on an R-lA zone. The R-4, carriage style zoning, doesn't work on Niluht as it was unmarketable. On Twillingate where there are larger, narrow lots it doesn't work for the existing older homes, due to the requirement for architectural compatibility, and size limits on the dwelling in behind. The Commission agreed with the idea and requested an invitation to attend a meeting with the owners of the R-4 zone, for their feedback i.e. on changes they might like to see to the zone

A) OCPAmendment and Zoning Bylaw Amendment Bylaws 3195 and 3196, 2005 PROPOSAL: That the Official Community Plan be amended for: Lot A of District Lot 218 Comox District and part of the bed of the Strait of Georgia Nanaimo District, Plan VIP66496 (2371 South Island Hwy) and Lot B of District Lot 218 Comox District and part of the bed of the Strait of Georgia Nanaimo District, Plan VIP66496 (2375 South Island Hwy) from "Residential" to "Commercial" on Map Schedule 1: General Land Use Map; and from "Low Density Residential" to "Medium Density Residential" on Map Schedule 4: Residential Densities Map". That the subject properties also be rezoned from the Residential one zone (R-1) to the Commercial two zone (C-2) in order to permit the construction of a 9 unit resort type hotel in addition to the existing two bedroom bed and breakfast "cottage".
Address:2371/2375 South Island Highway
The Planning Services Manager explained the proposal.
The following written submissions were presented at the Public Hearing and are marked as Schedule 'A', attached to and form part of these Minutes:
Patrick D. Rowe Willow Point Medical Clinic Leila Duncan Willow Point Realty Cleon Shankar Willows Market Les Kellow Willow Point Old and New Ben Luck Confort Zone Foods Teresa Davis Tourism NCI Wayne Nicholas Discovery Foods Stan Elliot Willow Point Barber Shop Fran Jones Willow Point Village Florist Jack O a 38 Adams Road Brian K. Shaw A Cut Above Too Mark Frankla OK Tire & Auto Service Dan Samson 687 Steenbuck representing 23 - 805 Island Highway
The following members of the public made verbal representations: Dan Samson, 687 Steenbuck representing 23 - 805 Island Highway spoke against the proposal of spot re-zoning. He stated that there is currently no commercial zoning on the Campbell River waterfront except in the downtown area and that other lots in the area are residential. Mr. Samson submits that the project has a negative impact on the adjacent park due to its size and noise from people in hot tubs on the balcony. He has concerns for the restriction
Ref. M:ILegislative Services Department\Shared Data\Public Hearing12005 Minutes\Nov 21.doc I Public Hearing Minutes Page 2 of 3 of the view corridor along the highway and for a 3-storey walk-up style of building which is designed only to maximize density. The setback variance brings the building within 30 feet of the front property line. Mr. Samson criticized the notice and location of the Neighbourhood Meeting. He feels that a carefully designed project would not require major setback variances. Lisa Rahn, 2356 S. Island Highway. Ms. Rahn is opposed to the application due to the avalanche effect of future developments. She supports Mr. Samson's concerns. Future requests theoretically must be treated in the same manner, resulting in six miles of hotels with hot tubs. The "Hi-end"concept is questionable due to individual entrance style of buildings. She feels that the community paid the price for the development of the Ocean Shores condo complex. Ms. Rahn is concerned with major variances which are not in the best interests of the community. This project is contrary to the visions involved in upgrading the South Island Highway through to Willow Point. When her husband purchased property in 1994 he relied on the zoning of adjacent properties before deciding to settle and invest in Campbell River. Bruce Baikie 2311 S. Island Highway. (Three houses north of proposal.) All the properties along the waterfront are in residential zoning. Mr. Baikie challenged the statement in the Planning report regarding the transition to commercial in Willow Point. He is opposed for the same reasons as the previous speakers. During the construction of his home, he was required to lower his roof height, yet the proposal for commercial development is requesting major setback variances. The proposal is for 3-storey walk-ups which is not an upscale building as suggested by the developer. Joan Woodcox, Representative for Bob Walker, 2345 South Island Highway. Ms. Woodcox spoke in opposition to the proposal, supporting the previous speakers and also emphasizing the loss of view. Arlene McDonald, owner of small business across the Highway. Ms. McDonald stated that the proposal would be good for her business but that she also lives in Willow Point. She is not opposed to development but the chosen development is wrong. She feels they should come up with a better design as this design is not attractive and does not fit in. Ms. McDonald questioned if there were alternatives. She stated that the pros did not come close to the cons. Danielle Lambert, Larwood Road She is not opposed to the type of development but she is opposed to the height which is out of place. Commercial development should be on the west side of the Highway. There being no further representations from members of the public, nor questions from Council, the Public Hearing was closed.
B) Zoning AmendmentBylaw No.3199, 2005 (RiparianAreaRegulations and other text amendments) PROPOSAL: To amend the text of the Zoning Bylaw to bring the Zoning Bylaw into consistency with the Official Community Plan and implement the Provincial Riparian Area Regulations by: deleting and replacing Sections 14 and 15; and the deletion and addition of numerous definitions. It also includes: Amendments to address problems related to the storage of derelict vehicles; The requirements for the surfacing of parking areas and loading zones; Amendment to include triplex to the permitted use for the RM-2 zone and to reduce the minimum lot size in the RM-2 and RM-3 zones from a minimum of 1,000 square metres to 500 square metres. Public Hearing Minutes Page 3 of 3
The Planning Services Manager explained the proposal.
The following written submissions were presented at the Public Hearing and are marked as Schedule A, attached to and form part of these Minutes:
Barbara Phipps 1540 Croation Road
The following members of the public made verbal representations: Barbara Phipps, 1540 Croation Road. Ms. Phipps spoke to her written submission circulated in the agenda. She is concerned with some definitions, for example "high water mark" which is not clearly defined and "top of bank" is avery definite location. She encouraged Council to establish setbacks above the Provincial Guidelines. Sandra Milligan, 458 Rita Crescent. Ms. Milligan wanted to know where the Streamside Protection Regulations were. The Planning Services Manager explained that Riparian Area Regulations are being changed in the Zoning Bylaw to comply with the Official Community Plan. Ms. Milligan is also concerned with the designation of high water by a qualified Environmental professional. And wondered why the Environmental Coordinator or his replacement is not in attendance and why was he not in attendance during the previous meetings. She recommended not to change the bylaw but to change the Official Community Plan to include Riparian Area Regulations. Leona Adams Ms. Adams spoke against abandoning the Riparian Area Regulations from the Zoning Bylaw and suggests it be returned to the Official Community Plan. There being no further representations from members of the public, nor questions from Council, the Public Hearing was closed at 9:05 p.m.

Dear Sir/Madame:
Please note I am fully in support of the application for re-zoning and building of a multi-room bed and breakfast facility adjacent to Seaside Cottage, by Mr. Bradley and his business partners.
I have a business in Willow Point and feel the increased business coming to the area can do nothing but good for this part of the community and for the community of Campbell River as a whole. There are no real multi-room facilities for tourists to overnight at in Willow Point and this would be a great asset to this part of our community.

Letter of Support for the Expansion of the Seaside Cottage
I would like to encourage Council to approve the expansion of the Seaside Cottage from its present size to include, nine luxury suites. My business, Willows Market Ltd., is located within easy walking distance of this new lodge and I believe we would benefit from extra tourist traffic in our business area. The visual appearance and landscaping of the new building appears to complement the present boulevard landscaping that is planned for Willow Point. At only nine suites, it seems unlikely that there will be many problems with increased noise or traffic problems created by this facility. We have one of the most spectacular oceanfront.views in the world and we should be taking every opportunity to encourage an increased population density along the waterfront so that more may enjoy the view. The corridor that extends from Pier Street to Storey's Beach has room for many more condominiums, apartments, hotels, and destination lodges. Such development would be very beneficial to businesses in both Willow Point and the rest of Campbell River_ Shoddy architecture and the use of ugly building materials are my only concerns with developments along this corridor. All attempts should be made to conform to a common standard; and one that reflects our maritime and forestry heritage. Peter has been a strong member of our business community here in Willow Point and I wish Peter, Rob and Cathy good luck and may they have many prosperous and successful years with their new expanded lodge.

I feel that this will be a very positive addition to the services offered to tourists entering the gateway to Campbell River. The lodge will accommodate up to twenty-five tourists and during their stay they will certainly take advantage of all Willow Point has to offer.

arming Services Department I speak against this proposed amendment to Official Community Plan
First howa (psopriate is it to be changing the OCP which was just approved
October 4 . The citizens of Campbell River and property owners are entitled to believe that the OCP is a relevant document and should be able to rely on it.
With regards to thisapplicationto amend the Official Community Plan and then to rezone this property from Residential 1 to Commercial 2, I am opposed for the following reasons.
first this rezoning is spot rezoning and appearsto be contrary to what is happening in the immediate area.
The last improvements made in this waterfront area were the construction of 2 substantial residential homes located to the north of the subject property.
South of this property from Larwood Rd. to Eriksen Rd., several existing waterfront homes have recently under gone extensive renovations and this trend is expected to continue. Although the development of this proposed project may have an adverse impact on this trend.
this project will also have a negative impact on the development and/or use of the proposed w/f Park to the immediate south of this site.
o Caused by the building design (40 feet high) oPotential noise impact ( 9 outdoor hot tubs located within 40 feet of the Park boundary) oIncreased density of use of the adjacent property.
- this Project will have an adverse effect on the view from the highway. View corridors are a community asset that belong to all of us. We need to be very careful before we throw these assets away. As you know Campbell River is increasingly becoming a retirement destination. One of the major reasons for this is our waterfront. Waterfront useage and views are extremely valuable to the economic future of our City.
- this rezoning has the potential to create a 40 foot high wall for approx 100 feet you are considering rezoning 2 lots, although only one is going to be built on now) between the new Willow Point Drive and the water. The last time this happened in Campbell River was the construction of the Oceanshore Condos and the community said "never again!" -It is debatable that a 3 storey walk-up motel can be considered "high end"
Our tourists are increasingly like me - getting older and not prepared/or able to walk-up 3 stories. The last 3 storey building that I recall being built without an elevator was Kris Mailman's development at Birch and Leishman and I don't think this has been a good experience for the surrounding neighbourhood. Also when the Developer talks about the "Tofino experience" I am not sure this project fits that definition. I have stayed at Tofino and the experience they sell is solitude and privacy. The same thing type of experience that my wife, and I look for on Saltspring Island when we visit there.
A couple of things with regards to Planner Fitch's report dated November 3`d.
he states that the design of the units is such that the sound is to be directed to the ocean and that this is a benefit. This will definitely have an adverse impact on the useage of the adjacent Park and the residents located in this area who will also being using the beach.
He states that to the south aretwo Cityowned properties that are intended for future development asPark.There is about 50` of propertyowned by the City (which was sold by the proponentof this Project),and then the next property is privatelyowned. The privatelyowned parcel is currently zoned RS 1 but I guess if this rezoning goes ahead then it willhave C2potential as well. And then adjacent to this small parcel is the LarwoodRd.dedication of the waterfront side which is currently developed as a small pocket Park. I know that it is hoped that all 3 properties which will have about 150 feet of frontage will be developed as an integrated waterfront Park.
he comments that this commercial zoning fits into the character of the neighbourhood. I wouldn't agree with this statement.Currently there is not any commercial zoning on the waterfront within 3 miles of either side of this property. This will be the only commercial zoning on the waterfront.
he comments on the view impact but only to the effect on adjacent property owners. As I mentioned before I don't believe views are just an asset of adjacent property owners but are a community asset and this Project will have an adverse impact on the publics' view of this stretch of waterfront.
he comments about the public communication process. My comments concerning this matter is that I received notification only 2 days in advance of the meeting that was held. I also voiced my concern at the time that although the propertywas located in theWillowPoint area the meeting was being held at City Hall about 4miles away.
Lastly he states that the comments at this meeting were generally supportive. I don't recall any supportive comments other than what was put forward by the Developer. You might ask either of the Walkers about their recollections of this meeting.
I am not sure how you can say that a Project is carefully designed when It requires major variances to sideyard and front yard set backs. Also the site is so restricted in size for the development that there are only 7 parking stalls located on the property. In the event that more parking is required it has to be provided off the lot.If this Project is approved it has to be considered a precedent and I fail to see how you can deny the next applicant who wants to the same thing on any of the waterfront properties located in this area.
The proposed building is roughly 40 feet wide and 39 feet high. It is a 3 storey walk up building with open hallways to the street side. From the street the roof is a straight metal shed type roof. The side along the undeveloped park is approximately 53 feet deep and is completely flat.
I believe that the impacts on adjacent properties may be extreme and negative. It will impact views, privacy, and may impact property values.
I also don't believe that benefits to the commercial activity in the area will be significant.

Thank you for your letter regarding the Campbell River Cruise Ship dock project. I was very pleased to hear about the federal commitment -- $6 million from the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs and $3 million from the Western Economic Diversification Fund.
This is another great news story for British Columbia and I share in your excitement about this initiative. It will mean more employment, more tourism, more demand for goods and services, and a stronger economy for Campbell River and surrounding areas. As you are aware, the Province has made a commitment of $3.75 million and we look forward to making that presentation very soon.
I commend you for your commitment and efforts to bring this project forward and to secure the required funding. It will be great for your region, the Island and the province and I congratulate you for working together to make it happen.

Dear Premier Campbell:
It is with great pleasure that we inform you that the Federal Departments of Indian and Northern Affairs and Western Economic Diversification have formally announced their capital support to the Campbell River cruise ship dock. Indian and NorthernAffairscommitted $6millionandWesternEconomic Diversification committed $3 million at a public announcement today (November 9th 2005).
The Band and the City are very excited about this project.As you can appreciate, we are running against a deadline.Celebrity Cruise Lines has committed to 6 stops with its vessel the "Mercury" starting in September 2006. Therefore, the Band and the City have committed to ordering the pipe necessary for the piles for the dock, and are out for tender at this moment for the marine structure itself, with the aim to close the tender in early December and start construction in January 2006. The entire project is to be completed by August 2006 in time for the first cruise ships to stop at Campbell River.
Your Government's support and commitment in April 2005 of $3.75 million, is one of the reasons the Federal Government sees this as such a worthwhile project not only for Campbell River, but for Vancouver island as well.We provide you with this information so that you can understand our need to receive the Provincial Government funds in this fiscal year so that we can ensure that we will be up and running for the 2006 fall cruise season.
Again, thank you for your continued support for this project and we anticipate and look forward to working together during the construction of the facility.
Yours truly,
Mr. Lynn D. Nash, Mayor. Chief Robert Pollard City of Campbell River Campbell River Indian Band

Dear Mayor: EXCITING NEWS-NEW REGULATION!!
It is with great excitement and pride that I am pleased to announce that on October 27, 2005 at approximately 2:20 pm, Bill 16 was introduced to the Legislative Assembly. What does this mean to your municipality? The cosmetology industry will now be regulated under the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Authority. All cosmetologists will have to have a Certificate of Qualification, issued by the Cosmetology Industry Association of BC, with which they can get their government license. A 5-year cosmetology government license will be issued at a cost of $100.
"Cosmetologist" means a person who engages in the: cutting, dressing, curling, waving, permanently waving, cleansing, removing, bleaching or similar work on the hair of a person manicuring the fingernails of a person trimming the toenail cuticles and cleaning, trimming, shaping and polishing the toenails of a person for enhancement only massaging for relaxation only, cleansing or enhancing the attractiveness of the scalp, face, neck, arms, chest or feet of a person. The Cosmetology Industry Association of BC has 13 Certificates of Qualification: hairdresser, colour technician, permanent wave technician, haircut and blow dry technician, barber, nail technician, nail artist, gel and manicure technician, acrylic and manicure technician, fully qualified esthetician, wax technician, make-up artist, and permanent make-up artist.
All cosmetologists, salons, and schools in British Columbia must comply with this new regulation as it is mandatory. I have worked with the government to give us 3-4 months to allow everyone to prepare for the new regulation. All cosmetologists must have a Certificate of Qualification (C of Q) before they can apply for a license from the province. It is the intent that government inspectors will be visiting all schools, salons, spas, barber shops, nail salons, home- based businesses, make-up retail and professionals to ensure they are complying with the new regulation. We extend our thanks to the municipalities of British Columbia who have supported the CIABC Certificate of Qualification in the past. No cosmetologist should be working without a C of Q. The C of Q is issued by the Cosmetology Industry Association of BC upon the completion of an industry-driven examination, or proof that they meet the current standards in BC. Once cosmetologists hold a C of Q, they will be required to apply for a 5-year license from the provincial government before they can work in the province of British Columbia.
Keep your municipality safe for the consumers by ensuring that all cosmetologists have the government license before granting them a businesslicense.Please contact us for more information on the Certificate of Qualification issued bythe CIABC.
Yours truly,
Norma Ann Eaton CEO and Chair Cosmetology Industry Association of BC BRITISH COLUMBIA November 14, 2005 Job # 4388112-001
Mr. Daryl Caley c/o Dolphin Bay Investments Ltd. #110-87 South Island Hwy Campbell River, BC V9W 1A2
Dear Mr. Caley, OFFICE OF THE ADMINISTRATOR Re: Decision of Site and Community Assessment City ofPII River Application for a Liquor Primary Licence Applicant: Dolphin Bay Investments Ltd. Proposed site: 2231 South Island Hwy in Campbell River Proposed establishment name: The Village Pub at Willow Point
Introduction
The applicant, Dolphin Bay Investments Ltd., is applying for a liquor primary licence to be located at 2273 South Island Hwy in Campbell River.
The applicant has met the eligibility and suitability requirements of the Liquor Control and Licensing Act (the Act), and is now proceeding to the Site and Community Assessment Stage (SCA) which is the stage for local government input. As part of this stage, the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (the Branch) has provided an application summary report to the Council for the City of Campbell River (Council). Council has considered the application and provided the Branch with a resolution. The applicant is now eligible for consideration of site and community approval.
The Issues
Whether or not the site and community assessment criteria have been applied. Whether to grant site and community approval (SCA). Whether issuance of the licence would be contrary to the public interest.
Factors To Be Considered
Whether or not the local government has taken into account the following statutory criteria and provided their comment and recommendations within the prescribed timeframe:
o The location of the establishment o The proximity of the establishment to other social or recreational facilities and public buildings o The person capacity and hours of liquor service of the establishment o The number and market focus or clientele of liquor-primary licence establishments within a reasonable distance of the proposed location
Ministry of Public Liquor Control and Mailing Address: Location: Safety and SolicitorLicensing Branch PO Box 9292 Stn Prov Govt Second Floor, 1019 Wharf Street General Victoria BC V8W 9J8 Victoria BC Telephone: 250 387-1254 Facsimile:250 387-9184 http://www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/Ic a 2 oTraffic, noise, parking and zoning oPopulation, population density and population trends oRelevant socio-economic information o The impact on the community if the application is approved
Whether or not the views of the residents have been gathered, and if so the method and views of the residents, and local government's comments on the views.
Whether the local government provided a recommendation and the reasons for its recommendation.
Whether it would be contrary to public interest to grant a liquor primary licence.
Relevant Legislation and Policy
I have reviewed the relevant sections of the Act, Regulation, and policies in considering this application.
Analysis
I have reviewed the Final Staff Report which is based on information provided by the applicant and Branch staff, proposed site photos, a map identifying the proposed location and other liquor primary establishments within a distance measure of one mile of the proposed site, Council's resolution dated October 26, 2005, and Council Minutes of the public hearing held on October 25, 2005.I am satisfied that:
Council has considered the required statutory criteria and provided comment and supporting recommendations on the application within the prescribed timeframe.
Although BC Statistics report a 0.02% decrease in population between 1996 and 2001, within a one half and one mile radius of the proposed site, Council states that recent assessment information identifies a 6.6% increase in the number of new properties in the Willow Point area between 2001 and 2005. This information suggests that there is sufficient population to support the proposed establishment and there is a target market to be served.
The views of the residents were gathered by way of written comment prior to the public hearing. A notice was mailed to individual property owners, businesses and residents within 100 metres of the proposed site, three weeks prior to the public hearing. Notices were also published in the local newspaper on October 7, 2005 and October 10, 2005, inviting written comment from local residents. Residents were also invited to provide comments at the public meeting on October 25, 2005.
in response to the public notification, City staff received five supporting written submissions to consider.
Although the minutes of the public hearing do not reflect those members of the public who spoke to the application, City staff advise that there were eight speakers, of which six were in favour, while two expressed concerns with regards to the seating capacity being too high.
I have seen nothing to conclude that anyone who wished to provide their views has been prevented from doing so. 3 I am therefore satisfied that there is no evidence that the majority of residents do not support a liquor primary licence at the proposed site and that the City's supporting resolution is a reasonable indication of views from nearby residents and businesses.
After considering the positive response from local residents, and addressing the concerns raised, Council passed a supporting resolution which recommended the hours and capacity as well as the issuance of the licence for the following reasons: the pub will enhance the vitality and village atmosphere of the Willow Point Area the pub will create approximately 30 full time and part time jobs, the pub will provide a new social venue for the growing area population, and there are no other liquor primary licences operating within 3 kilometres of this location.
I conclude that the Council for the City of Campbell River has complied with section 11.1 of the Liquor Control and Licensing Act.
I see no evidence before me to suggest the granting of a liquor primary licence at the proposed site would be contrary to the public interest.
Decision:
Based on the foregoing, I am granting site and community approval for a liquor primary licence at 2231 South Island Highway in Campbell River.
It should be noted that although the Branch documentation provided to Council references a civic address of 2273 South Island Highway, City staff have confirmed that the address of one portion of the plaza has now changed from 2273 to 2231, which is the new portion of the mall where the proposed licensed establishment will be located, therefore all correspondence will now reference 2231 South Island Highway.
Terms and Conditions of Licensing:
Hours of liquor service are: i 10:00 AM to 12:00 Midnight Sunday through Thursday 10:00 AM to 1:00 AM Saturday and Sunday Maximum person capacity (occupant load) not to exceed 110 persons inside and 70 persons on the patio
Plans Approval
This approval allows the applicant to proceed with development of floor plans for the proposed establishment.
Prior to issuing a licence, the General Manager must set the person capacity. This capacity must be equal to the occupant load stamp on the floor plans provided from the local government or officials designated by the local governments and correspond with the person capacity as approved above. This figure includes both patrons and staff. The definition of the occupant load is as follows:
"occupant load" means the least number of persons allowed in an establishment under a) the Provincial building regulations, b) the Fire Services Act and British Columbia Fire Code Regulation, and c) any other safety requirements enacted, made or established by the local government or first nation for the area in which the establishment is located.
Your next step is to provide the Branch with two large scaled floor plans which denotes a separate occupant load for the interior and the patio, exits, entrances, location of the bar and 4 washrooms, and proposed furniture layout. The plans will be reviewed to ensure compliance with the Regulation and policy.If all is in order, one set of plans will be returned stamped "Approved in Principle" along with further instructions on the next step in the licensing process.
Term of Site and Community Approval (SCA)
This SCA approval will expire one (1) year from the date of this letter. An extension to this approval will only be considered where a written request is received by the Branch at least 30 days prior to the expiry of the SCA. The written request (addressed to the attention of the General Manager) must satisfy the branch that the need for an extension is reasonable, and that the delays causing the need are not directly attributable to the applicant. The request should be accompanied by evidence demonstrating that the delay is beyond control of the applicant.
Where another authority is responsible for the delay,,a letter from that authority outlining current status and schedule for completion should accompany the request for extension. The request must also include the length of time being requested and evidence of progress since the original, or if applicable, subsequent, approval (s).
If the applicant fails to request an extension within the permitted time frame, this application will be viewed as abandoned on the expiry date mentioned above and the application will be terminated.
The SCA approval is personal to the applicant and cannot be sold or transferred without the prior approval of the general manager.
Yours sincerely,

Lynn Nash Mayor, District of Campbell River 301St.Ann's Road CampbellRiver, BC V9W 4C7
Dear Mayor Nash,
On behalf of the Northern Powerline Coalition I am writing to you to seek your immediate intervention to help ensure that the proposed Powerline from Meziadin Junction to Dease Lake becomes a reality.
The northwestern area of BC is the only area of the Province handicapped by not being serviced by the BCTC electrical transmission grid. Future economic development of the region can be secured by Governments making an investment in electrical infrastructure that will stimulate major private sector investments in independent power production, metal mine development, coal projects, and oil and gas development. The future of all Northwestern BC's citizens depends on having a "level playing field" with the rest of the Province in order to participate in a rebounding economy. Access to the power grid is a basic requirement for our people, our industries and our First Nations communities in order not to be sidelined for the "Golden Decade"
I have attached a briefing paper on the business case for the investment, as well as a brochure and support button for the project. Please go to the Coalitions website at http://www.highway37.com to get more project information, view a video which includes interviews with constituents on how important the Power Line is to them and to view a power point presentation made to the Select Standing Committee on Finance in October.
The Northwest Power Coalition is an ad hoc group comprised of northern communities, resource development companies, service and supply companies and individuals supporting the case for development in northwest BC who promote the extension of the BC transmission grid through the Highway 37 corridor.
We hope that we can count on your support for rural infrastructure development to provide opportunities for communities in northwestern BC which will benefit all British Columbians. Please speak to your local MLA, cabinet ministers or the Premier about this important project. If you have questions about this project please do not hesitate to contact me at 604-682-8414.
On behalf of the Northwest Powerline Coalition
Sincerely,
Donald McInnes President Western Keltic Mines Inc.

Scope
This document presents the case for extending the North American power grid in northwestern British Columbia to the "Golden Triangle", north of Meziadin Junction along highway 37, through Iskut to Dease Lake, a total distance of about 350 km. The project could be split into two phases; the first covering Meziadin Junction to Iskut (255 km), and the second covering Iskut to Dease Lake (95 km).
Purpose
The goal is to encourage and facilitate economic development in the northwestern corner of the province by bringing grid-based and grid-priced electricity to this under- serviced region. By doing so, the economic future for the region will be secured and all British Columbians stand to benefit.It will foster continued mine development and further mineral exploration activity, open green field opportunities for independent green hydro power projects, expand tourism opportunities, and eliminate costly, inefficient and environmentallyunfriendlydiesel-poweredgeneratorsinthose few communities currently served by such 'dirty power' systems. These developments will nurture, grow and support healthy economic activity in the region and create thousands of new, long- term, sustainable, high-paying jobs in an area populated predominantly by First Nations peoples. This will enhance existing, and create new sources of revenue for the BC Government through an increased business tax base, a higher and expanded personal tax base; and improve the working relationship with the First Nations community as they move towards self sufficiency and self government. The communities of the Highway 37 corridor stand to reap tremendous social and economic benefits from development in the region. Not least being a standard of electrical supply that would place them on equitable terms with the rest of the province. Equally important is the possibility of long term employment; from mining and associated support services, for people living throughout the province. A real opportunity will exist for the people of the region to create their own development contract and service companies that can play key roles in a burgeoning economic zone.
Background on Resources
Prior to the 1990s, mining was the second largest industry in terms of both jobs and contribution to the provincial economy. No new metal mine has opened in BC since 1997 and several are slated to close in the near future:Eskay Creek in April 2007, employing about 100 First Nations people; Huckleberry in Q2 2007; and possibly Kemess in 2009.Although itslife was recently extended, Highland Valley isstill scheduled to close within the next decade.Returning the mining industry to its pre- 1990s status and again becoming a major contributor to the provincial coffers should be a priority of the highest order for the government in Victoria. There are myriad reasons to support the mining sector, but perhaps the primary one should be to assist a growing resource sector industry that will help offset the projected losses in the shrinking forestry industry. The number of jobs lost in what has long been British Columbia's principal industry is projected to be as high as 75% over the next 10 years (after the pine-beetle infested timber has been harvested). A robust mining industry could absorb many
-2- displaced forestry workers; people who live, work and make rural BC communities the vibrant, healthy heart of the province. It is well worth noting that mining industry workers enjoy a high earned wage level, averaging - $94,000, including benefits. Unlike some other mining jurisdictions in Canada, the vast majority of the wages earned in the province remain in the province.
In 2001, the government began an aggressive campaign to entice mining companies worldwide to invest in BC exploration and mine development by promising vast improvements inthe regulatory regime and government-sponsoredinfrastructure investments.Promises of these investments were reiterated in the BC Mining Plan released in January 2005 (see Action 35). Many junior exploration and mining companies, acting in good faith, subsequently took the government at its word and began or increased activity in BC. Total mineral exploration investment in BC in 2004 was over $130 million, up from just $25 million in 2001, an increase of 420%. Most major mining companies, however, continue to focus on seemingly higher risk areas elsewhere in the world, adopting a wait-and-see attitude as to whether any new mining projects will be built in BC.
A dozen mineral properties at various stages of exploration and development are located within 160 km or so of the proposed power grid extension. In order to be economically viable, these projects require access to electricity at the same rates charged to large industrial users throughout the rest of the province. One such project, bcMetals' Red Chriscopper-goldpropertylocatedsoutheastofIskut, recentlyreceivedits Environmental Assessment approval and is ready to construct a mine at a cost of almost CDN$250 million - subject to the availability of reasonably-priced hydro-electric power needed by 3Q 2007.Mt. Klappan Coal, located south-east of Red Chris, would also benefit from access to the power grid within the same time frame, as would green-power generator, Coast Mountain Hydro from its approved Forrest Kerr run-of-the river power generating facility. Several other green power generating projects in the area also need access to the grid in order to be viable. Nova-Gold's Galore Creek copper-gold property is potentially the largest mine in the area and could be up and running within 5 years. This project will require - 5MW of power during construction in Q1 2008 and ultimately 80MW when in full operation.
If development proceeds, Red Chris will be the first new metal mine in BC in a decade, and the largest new metal mine in North America. This project could be the sign of good faith that many of the major mining companies are watching for before they begin to invest much larger dollars in BC.Additionally, as Red Chris is scheduled to open at about the same time as the Eskay Creek mine is scheduled to close, about 100 experienced First Nations miners (who would otherwise be facing unemployment) will be hired by Red Chris. A significant portion of the new exploration dollars spent in BC since 2001 have been spent in northwestern BC (approximately $40 million will be spent on Galore Creek in 2005 alone) due to the unparalleled geological potential of the area. Exploration and mine development expendituresin BC willlikely decrease, not continually increase as projected, unless thereis evidence of the government's commitment to providing necessary infrastructure investment to allow mine development to proceed. Cost
British Columbia Transmission Corporation's (BCTC) scoping level estimate (25%-35% contingency) for the entire electrification project is $326 million, including an upgrade to the Skeena (Terrace) to Meziadin Junction section for 287 kV capacity from the existing 138 kV capacity. The cost estimate for Phase I of the two phase approach is approximately one-half this amount, or $185 million. This latter approach involves stringing the line from Meziadin Junction to Iskut at 287 kV but initially powering it at only 138 kV.In a few years, when demand warrants, Phase II would be built. This would involve stringing the line from Iskut to Dease Lake; upgrading the Skeena to Meziadin line and powering the entire line at 287 kV.Construction, ownership and operation of the extension by the private sector is not an option due to the prohibitive wheeling charges that would result, making most of the projects uneconomic and unviable.
In contrast, construction of mines and power projects on these properties requires an aggregate private sector investment of about $3 billion over the next decade, and would create 10,000 direct and indirect jobs once operational. These private investments for the run-of -river power projects range from $40 to $250 million. Red Chris alone projects direct payments to BC government entities to total over $465 million during its 25 year mine life. The projected breakdown follows:
BC Hydro charges (at current rates) $275 million Property taxes $25 million Sales and fuel taxes $40 million Income and mining taxes $126 million
Combined withdirect government payments from the many other projects, the infrastructure investment will be paid for many times over. If the infrastructure investment is not made, not only will these direct benefits to the provincial coffers be lost, but existing exploration and development activity will likely decline significantly as well.
Timing
Timing is critical. The Red Chris copper-gold project, the Mt. Klappan coal project and Coast Mountain's Forrest Kerr power generation project are each scheduled to be operational by late 2007, early 2008.Completing Phasei of the investment now will satisfy their requirements and send a much needed signal to the mining industry and the investment community that BC is serious about its stated commitments. To meet these deadlines, action must be taken NOW. Purpose of this Document
The purpose of this document is to present a business case for the extension of the North American power grid from Meziadin Junction to Dease Lake.
2. Background
The proposed extension of the North American grid would fall within the northern sector of the riding of Bulkley Valley-Stikine, the Province's largest riding. (Area 3, Figure 1).

The southernone-thirdof theBulkleyValley-Stikineridingencompasses the communities of Smithers, Houston, Burns Lake, New Hazelton, and Telkwa. These are the only communities with permanent power that offer any significant employment opportunities for residents of the riding.The only other employment opportunities currently within the riding are at Barrick's Eskay Creek Mine and minor government and service industry (tourism) jobs along the Highway 37 corridor, mainly in Dease Lake.
Eskay Creek, with a total employment of 316 of which 98 are First Nations (YTD 2005 average),is scheduled to close in April 2007. First Nations workers from the communities of Iskut, Dease Lake and Telegraph Creek currently have no replacement employment options available in the region other than seasonal work offered by the mining companies undertaking exploration and development activities in the northwest region. Adding 98 additional First Nations to the list of unemployed will put a severe strain on the families and social services within the local communities.
-6- 247 3. The Case for the Electrification of the Highway37 Corridor
3.1 New Employment Opportunities for First Nations and the Province
General
Employment rates in northwestern BC have lagged well behind those of the Province in general. In May 2004, unemployment in the riding of Bulkley Valley-Stikine was 14.2%, nearly twice the provincial average rate of 7.8%. In July 2005, the rate had dropped to 8.6% against an average provincial rate of 5.9%. This drop in unemployment is almost entirely due to the increased exploration activity taking place in the Northwest. Galore Creek alone is spending $40 million in 2005. Total expenditures for 2005 are estimated at $150 to $200 million province wide, an -800% increase over total expenditure of $25 million in 2001. However exploration activities represent temporary, seasonal jobs only.
Mining
The development of mining properties within the NW region represents the only near and long term solution to provide local high paying and long lasting employment opportunities.
The following are a list of properties in the feasibility or development stage.
Table 3.1 - Feasibility or development stage projects in the Golden Triangle
Mining Project Feasibility Investment Size Direct Mine & Projected Gross Date ($ millions) Contractor Annual Payroll Employment ($ millions)
Red Chris Done -$250 350 $32.9 Klappan Coal(') Done -$275-$522 250 $23.5 Kutcho Creek Q4 2006 -$225 180 $16.9 Galore Creek Q1 2006 -$1,200 500 $47.0 GJ Q2 2007 -$250 310 $29.2 Schaft Creek Q1 2008 -$500 500 $47.0 Hard Creek TBA $400 250 $23.5 Total -$3,100 - $3,347 -2,340 $220.0
(1; Expansion potential includes extension of car rail to Klappan and the possible construction of a coal-fired power plant. Klappan power line would likely link into the Red Chris project line. (2) Based on mining industry average income package of $94,000 per annum.
The above table details the number of direct mine jobs that will be generated by the producing properties once commercial production has been reached. In addition, these direct mine jobs are supported by three offsite jobs that would impact the Province as a whole, not just the northwest region. For example, Finning Canada, which unfortunately moved its corporate headquarters from Vancouver to Edmonton during the hard times in BC in the 1990's, has Major Regional Mining Support centers located in Kamloops, Prince George and Sparwood for Caterpillar equipment. Each of these centers supports
-7- the supply of parts and component rebuilds required for the mining equipment sold in their respective areas. The combined employee base for these existing operations is in excess of 300 employees, with further expected growth of jobs anticipated with the go ahead of potential mines in the Northwest corner of the province.
These projects would add a total of approximately 10,000 new jobs for the NW and the Province, all of which are long-term and high paying. This would more than compensate for the imminent job losses at Eskay Creek (316 in April 2007); Huckleberry (234 by Q3 2007) and Kemess (350 in 2009 if Kemess North does not proceed).
However, the firstsignificant impact on the jobs market willbe during project construction where, for example, Red Chris will peak at 500 workers during 2006 and 2007.This one project has the capacity to employ every available worker presently living in Iskut, Dease Lake and Telegraph Creek. Each of the projects would have a similar call on construction workers.
Green Power
The Northwest region offers many opportunities for the development of "run-of-river" or "green power" projects.The most advanced of these is Coast Mountain Power Corp's, Forrest Kerr Project. This represents a private sector investment of $223 million and has a generated capacity of 115MW. The capital cost of these projects range from $40 to $225 million.
The following is a summary of the known projects :
Table 3.2 - Summary of Green Power projects in the region
Project Power requirement CapitalCost Projected Annual Taxes More Creek 19 MW $40 Million $625,000 Forrest Kerr 115 MW $223 Million $5.9 Million McClymont Creek 60 MW $120 Million $1.7 Million Plutonic Power Corp. 41 MW $57 Million $1.2 million Total $440 million $9.425 million
Further, southeast Alaskan based independent Power Producers currently have planned projects with a forecast excess energy potential of 400Gw.h per annum that they wish to sell to "Lower 48" based customers. Access to their planned market would have to be through the BC powergrid, a significant potential windfall of power dollars into the provincial coffers. The Highway 37 corridor would be the most obvious route to tie in their energy production for transmission to their southern markets. Tourism
The Northwest is rapidly becoming a popular destination for tourists who wish to experience the natural wonders of BC's parks and wilderness, and tourism is a sector that has demonstrated significant upside potential.The Bell II lodge, 95 km north of Meziadin Junction, initially developed by European investors as a hell-skiing destination, is now expanding its services and is open year round for tourists.Clean and reliable hydroelectric power will certainly be welcomed by owner and vacationer alike as opposed to the noise and pollution produced by diesel generators. The availability of hydroelectric power will enable expansion and growth for this type of small business.
3.2 Investment in Northwest Development
Current mine projects in the northwest represent an investment potential of almost $3.0 billion over the next 10 years.
Red Chris ($250 million) is the most advanced property with a Detailed Feasibility Study completed in December 2004, Environmental Assessment Certificate signed by the Provincial Government on 25 August 2005, and a mandate executed with an international financial institution for US$110 million in project debt financing.Project construction is scheduled to start in January 2006 with first concentrate production scheduled for late 2007.Estimated power requirement is 37.5MW by mid-2007, with guaranteed access to power being a condition precedent of the loan agreement.
Klappan Coal ($275 - $522 million, depending on production shipping options) has just completed its Detailed Feasibility Study and expects coal production to commence late 2007. Estimated power requirement is 7MW by Q3 2007.
Galore Creek ($1.2 billion) is estimating to complete its Detailed Feasibility Study in Q1 2006.Construction is estimated to commence late 2007 with first requirement for permanent power (5MW) in January 2008 for construction of tunnels on the access road.
Total investment from these three properties alone is estimated at $1.75 to $2.0 billion with a total power requirement of -125MW, assuming 0.5 to 1.0MW for the village of Iskut. The first two projects could be handled by the proposed Phase I development of the powerline from Meziadin to Iskut at 138 kV. The startup of Galore Creek would require upgrading the system to 287kV to handle the increased demand.
Total power requirement for all proposed projects is estimated to be in the range of 260MW. The Phaseff upgrade of the lineto 287 kV couldhandle this load.
The investment in the powerline extension can in no way be viewed as a subsidy as no single project will realize an exclusive benefit. Each project will still have to run its own line, in at least two cases more than 100 km, to connect to the mainline extension.It is impractical from both cost and environment perspectives to expect each project to run its own line hundreds of kilometers to the current terminus at Meziadin Junction. For example, the cost of doing so was the main reason for Teck Cominco abandoning the Red Chris project in the mid-1990s. Stringing the line from Meziadin Junction to Dease Lake (eventually) is the only incremental cost to be considered because upgrading the Skeena to Meziadin Junction section to handle the additional power capacity demands will have to be incurred regardless of how each project connects to the grid.
-9- 3.3 Tip of the Iceberg
The advanced stage mineral development projects that are mentioned in this paper represent only the most advanced projects in the northwest region of BC.In 2005, mineral exploration companies will collectively spend over $70 million dollars exploring and developing many other projects in the northwest region in what has come to be known as The Golden Triangle. According to BC Geological Survey Minfile data, there are 935 documented mineral occurrences identified in this resource rich zone and of those, 67 have documented a mineral resource.In 2005, there were over 100 exploration projects undertaken in the region.It is an area that is also host to three decommissioned gold mines and countless projects have been drilled here over the last few decades. It is the area in BC that demonstrates the highest potential for further mine finds.
With infrastructure investment further exploration expenditures will lead to other mineral deposits being found in the GoldenTriangle.
Table 3.3 - Exploration Expenditures in 2005
Project Expenditures GaloreCreek/CopperCanyon $ 40 million Ruby Creek $ 4.0 Foremore $ 4.0 Red Chris $ 3.5 GJ $ 3.5 Turnagain $ 3.5 RDN $1.0 Kerr/Suiphurets $ 1.0 Scottie Gold $ 1.0 Granduc $ 1.0 Kutcho Creek $ 1.0 Schaft Creek $ 1.0 Eskay Creek $ 1.0 Silver Coin $ 0.75 Copper Creek $ 0.70 Thorn $ 0.65 Tulsequah Chief $ 0.60 Kizmet JV $ 0.50 Tide $ 0.45 $ 69.15 million 3.4 Good for all of BC
The nature of the development of mine projects in this area is known as "fly-in fly-out". Typical of these remote mines, the workers at these projects are flown to and from the mine site on a two week in and two week out shift rotation.An examination of the Kemess Mine north of Mackenzie, the closest fly-in fly-out operation, shows just how important these projects can be to all of BC.
The Kemess Mine employs 356 full-time workers with a total annual payroll of $26.3 million. The graphic below charts the distribution of the Kemess workforce across the province, by principal residence. As you can see, the Kemess Mine positively impacts all regions of BC directly,as the workers spend their paycheques intheir home communities. An investment in the Highway 37 Powerline is good for allBritish Columbians.

Payroll taxes to government are better than $6 million, WCB payments of $1.1 million, government and crown corporations receive more than $37 million and with annual operating purchases of $128 million the benefits of this mines operation are felt across the province. The government portion of the pie would cover the all-in education costs of every secondary student in the Kamloops-Thompson school district for 2004-05. Or, if spent in healthcare, the money collected by government would have covered the provinces investment in leading edge technology in 2004. Equipment that benefited citizens around the province with purchases such as:
the first PET unit in BC, located at the Vancouver Cancer Centre 4 new CT scanners in New Westminster, Victoria, Kelowna and Vancouver a mobile MRI scanner for the Kootenays and south Okanagan MRI scanner upgrade at UBC hospital Advanced radiology and pharmaceutical systems for the Northern Health Authority Laboratory centre of excellence for genomics in Vancouver Radiopharmaceutical lab and cyclotron at Vancouver Cancer Centre
Again, this is ONE existing mine project of similar size and impact to many advanced stage projects in the Golden Triangle.

Further, the annual procurement of goods and services by the Kemess Mine is broadly distributed throughout BC, and indeed across Canada. These expenditures support businesses, communities and families around the province and across the country and could be extrapolated to the development of the other mines in the region.
With a minimum life of 20 years, the six most advanced projects in the Golden Triangle will employ a work force totaling -10,000 (direct and indirect jobs) which will benefit all areas of B.C.
The monies generated from just one just one of these projects will have such significant benefits for BC that the capital costs of the infrastructure development in the northwest will be recouped many times over by the province.
Imagine the intrinsic potential in the Schaft Creek project, a high tonnage, relatively low- grade copper deposit is comparable in size and grade to the Highland Valley Mine, BC's largest copper producer which is slated for closure in 2013 when the resource is finally depleted. Highland Valleyhas seen mining at the site for more than acentury,and has been in round-the-clock production since 1986. In 2004, the 950 workers employed at the mine drew salary and benefit packages totaling close to $100 million. The mine also supports approximately 2000 other workers through spin-off jobs with expenditures for goods and services totaling $317 millionannually.Most of these dollars stay right here in BC. As for the province, Highland Valley paid $82 million to the government and crown corporations last year, money that benefits every person in the province. Again, this is just ONE mine being compared to ONE potential project in the Golden Triangle.
-13- 3.5 First Nations Issues
In the spring of 2007, it is estimated that the Eskay Creek silver gold mine located just west of Bob Quinn will close at which time 99 Talhtan Band members will lose their jobs. Additionalcurrent exploration/developmentprojectsintheregionareproviding meaningful seasonal jobs. As well, the 2005 exploration season saw employment for 60 Tahltan people with Novagold at their Galore Creek project. A further 40 band members were employed with RTEC, a joint venture project between the Tahltan Development Corporation and Rescan Environmental. This is another 100 employment positions that stand to be lost if supportfor development in the region is not forthcoming. There are no options in the area for year-round employment, except for the possibilities offered by future mining operations.
3.6 Loss of Forestry Jobs
The broad and devastating scope of the Pine Beetle infestation in the provinces' forests is now truly being felt in rural communities that have long been reliant on forest industry dollars as the backbone of their economies. The remarkable size of the infestation - some 10 million hectares of infested pine in BC by summer 2005 - is forecast to kill almost 1 billion cubic metres of pine by 2013. Although estimates vary, the allowable cut of pine could fall by up to 75% over the next decade as the harvest of pine beetle killed trees declines. This will be hardest felt in the northwest where forestry is a key component of the regions economy.
A true measure of the economic impact caused by the beetle infestation is difficult to compile, however Jock Finlayson, vice-president of the Business Council of BC recently stated that he believes "the loss of that much timber could take $2 billion a year out of the provincial government's fiscal picture by hitting revenues and adding new expenditures."
Mining is the only realistic option to replace the high-paying forestry jobs that will be lost in the affected forestry-based communities. The provincial government fully recognizes this. An excerpt from the provincial government publication British Columbia's Mountain Pine Beetle Action Plan 2005-2010: "The mining and energy sectorshavesignificant growth capacity and willbeencouraged to fill the gap", and "...in all sectors where opportunities can be identified, only oil, gas and minerals offers the potential to offset large scale declines in forestry during the next 20-30 years."
Tourism is never going to pick up the slack and we can not ask people who have chosen a rural life for themselves and their families to pack up and move to urban centres in search of employment. The social fabric, diversity and the very health of our province would suffer from the degradation of rural life. Given the opportunity, mining can preserve and maintain these heartland communities by employing resource sector workers in the resource sector.
-14- 255 5, 4. Powerline Cost Estimate
The following is extracted from BCTC's cost estimate as posted on their website.It should be noted that this is a scoping level study and carries a 25% to 35% contingency.
Northwest Area Transmission Options August 30, 2005 Cost Estimate Breakdown Supplement
From Skeena Phase kV Million $ MW To Iskut - Refined +/-25% 287 285 152 438km To Dease Refined +/-25% 287 326 152
The following is an estimate for Phase I based on a pro rata estimate from the above.
From Meziadin Phase kV Million $ MW To Iskut - Refined +/-25% 287 136.4 152 255km Loaded
Note: Estimate based on transmission line costs of $210M for 438km prorated to $68.2M for 240 km, plus $21AM of common Station & Telecommunications costs, and not including upgrade cost from Skeena to Meziadin which totaled $57.1 M
Provisional estimate for Phase I is $136.4 million. This would be capable of providing 50 to 60MW at the end of the line without incurring unrealistically high line losses.
Projected Annual Payments to BC Government
5.1 Mining
Based on their internal projections and extrapolation of results realized by comparable metal mines currently operating in the area, annual payments to the BC government by this papers featured future metal mines in the Golden Triangle, after project payback, are estimated as set out below. BC Hydro charges (at currentrates) $98.7 million Property taxes $15.4 million Sales and fuel taxes $60.9 million Income and mining taxes $75.6 million Inspection fees and WCB $4.2 million Annual Total : $288.4 million
5.2Independent Power Producers
After debt service, the largest single cost for independent power producers ("IPP's") is payment to government for water rights and property tax. The Forrest Kerr Project alone
-15- is projected to contribute approximately $6 million per year in annual payments to the Provincial Government coffers. The four other IPP's with projects in the region will be making annual payments water rights as well as land, property and school taxes of approximately $6 million per year, or $12 million in total annually.
6. Infrastructure - A Few Key Principles
Infrastructure in Canada and BC has always been the responsibility of government and the Highway 37 powerline project should be treated no differently. The federal and provincial governments are currently making massive investments in infrastructure throughout all regions of BC. Among these infrastructure investments are an airport upgrade in Cranbrook, a new bridge across Okanagan Lake, a convention centre in Vancouver, a ring-road development and twinning of the Port Mann bridge in the GVRD, highway upgrades in both the Sea to Sky corridor and Kicking Horse Canyon, to name but a few. Sea-to-Sky Highway $600 million RAV Line $1,012 million Convention Centre $500 million Lower Mainland Gateway Projects $3,000 million Okanagan Lake Bridge $120 million Kicking Horse Canyon upgrade $191 million Total $5,423 million
Do these investments benefit all British Coiumbians, or in the case of the Vancouver Convention Centre just the hotel, airline and tourism industry?
Itis Government's stated role to provide the necessary infrastructure development required to support business and community growth and long-term health. The following is extracted from the Canada - British Columbia Infrastructure Program Agreement signed October 10t", 2000:
A new vision of 21St century infrastructure to improve the quality of life for Canadians and make a long-term contribution towards a dynamic economy. To accelerate the pace of innovation inBritish Columbia's economy, to give communities more power, to create a greener society, and to ensure that everyone is moving forward. Construction,renewal,expansion,or material enhancement of infrastructure throughout Canada will contribute to improving the quality of life for all Canadians and building the foundation for sustained long-term economic growth in the 21st century. Agreethatlocalgovernments havefirst-handknowledgeof thepressing infrastructure needs of their communities. Working in cooperation with local government and the private sector, to maximize the use of their resources and expertise, is to the benefit of Canadians. Extension of the powerline grid meets all of these criteria and is a fraction of the cost.
Further, the
BC Mining Plan (January 2005)
Cornerstone 3: Global Competitiveness
"We compete globally for new investments to generate jobs and financial stability in our communities"
Strategy11 Enhance excellentinfrastructure,Action35:"Pursue strategic investment opportunities in unservicedareasto secure long-term delivery of energy supply and transportation infrastructure."
Currently, we have a remarkable opportunity here in B.C. to capitalize on the booming metals market. The cost of copper production in Chile is skyrocketing with high oil and gas prices (Argentina recently reduced its gas supply to Chile by 25%), Peru, Zambia and Indonesia, all significant copper producers, are experiencing political unrest. BC has the resources in the ground that make us the envy of the developed world. Develop these resources and we will put Canada back on the map as a significant copper producer.
7. The Northwest Powerline Coalition
The Northwest Powerline Coalitionis an ad hoc group comprised of northern communities, resource development companies, service and supply companies and individual supporting the case for development in northwest BC.
The coalition has been formed to promote the benefits of extending the BC Hydro transmission grid from its existing terminus at Meziadin Junction on Highway 37, some 160 km north of its intersection with Highway 16. The proposed extension would follow the Highway 37 corridor another 350 km northward to the community of Dease Lake. The Phase I development, and the portion that is most urgently needed, would extend the line 255 km to the village of Iskut.
The powerline initiative has been endorsed and supported by a number of MLAs, including the Minister of State for Mining and the elected members representing the Bulkley Valley-Stikine and West Vancouver-Capilano as well as northwestern BC community mayors and councils, many northern businesses, the BC and Yukon Chamber of Mines, the Mining Association of BC and the majority of the Tahltan First Nations people who reside in the area.

TERMS OF REFERENCE
CAMPBELL RIVER VISION 2025 SELECT COMMITTEE
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Committee is to:
Work with the Consultant to engage City Council, Senior Management and the Citizens in Campbell River in the development of the "ideal" Campbell River to the year 2025. The primary objective will be to determine values, priorities and overall expectations of the City leading up to the year 2025.
PROCESS/SCOPE OF WORK:
"Context Research"has been hiredby the Cityto develop thisvision. Mr. Brian L.Johnston, Consultant, will lead the process and provide the following services:
Consultant to review existing background information including the recently adopted OCP.
ii) Consultant will organize a three (3) hour workshop with Senior Staff members to review backgroundinformation to help the consultant understand the influences over the community and the major issues that will likely have a significant impact on the future of Campbell River.
iii) Consultant will plan and facilitate a five (5) hour workshop with City Council (and whomever Council wishes to add to the mix), to begin the process of developing a long- term vision for the community. The workshop will identify important influences on the future of the community, important values that need to be reflected in and visioning and agreement on what the framework for the process and deliverables developed. Such topics as environment, economic opportunities, and accessibility for all citizens, land use issues, transportation and infrastructure, social/cultural recreational issues, public safety issues, First Nations relationships would be included.
The previous two workshops will be followed up with a "Community/Public Visioning Workshop." Community leaders and the general public will be invited to ensure that a good representation from a cross section of the community is in attendance. This opportunity will ensure that anyone with something to say can attend. The process will be designed where everyone participates, without it being an opportunity for a few people to take control or monopolize the time.
