News Release For lmmediate Release 57 Projects in British Golumbia Communities to receive $73.3 million in federal Gas Tax Funds February 12,2016 - Surrey, British Columbia The Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of lnfrastructure and Communities was in Surrey today to announce over $73.3 míllion in funding from the federal Gas Tax Fund for 57 capital and capacity building projects in communities across British Columbia. The projects were selected through the application-based Strategic Priorities Fund. Minister Sohi was accompanied by the Honourable Peter Fassbender, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development; Al Richmond, President of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities; and Linda Hepner, Mayor of Surrey.

Funding for the approved capital projects will support the construction of a range of community infrastructure projects in 27 communities. The projects relate to drinking water (8), wastewater (4), recreational and cultural infrastructure (6), local roads and bridges (4), solid waste management (2), community energy systems (2) and a regional airport improvement project.

It means that a deteriorated bridge in Zeballos will be replaced, providing faster routing for emergency vehicles and the two sides of the community will be reconnected. lt means that residents in Columbia Shuswap Regional District will soon see an end to a long-standing boil water advisory. lt means that residents of Terrace will enjoy their Aquatic Centre for another 40 years. And it means that the Smithers Regional Airport will double its passenger handling capacity and be more efficient for the flying public.

Also approved are capacity building projects in 30 communities. These predominantly focus on improving asset management in communities. Asset management is a process that integrates information about a community's physical assets and finances to support local decision-making Other approved capacity building projects include updates to Official Community plans to include sustainability principles and a regional transportation plan.

Each year the Government of Canada transfers over $253 million to the Province of British Columbia through the federal Gas Tax Fund (GTF). The funding is predictable, permanent and indexed to provide communities with a reliable ongoing funding source for their local infrastructure projects. The GTF provides communities with maximum flexibility. They can spend, bank, pool or use the funds to pay down infrastructure loans. Communities are free to direct the GTF to the eligible infrastructure projects they choose.

ln British Columbia, the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) administers the Gas Tax Fund, in partnership with Ganada and British Columbia. . The Community Works Fund, which provides per-capita allocation-based funding for all BC communities; . The Greater Vancouver Regional Fund, which pools a percentage of the GVRD and its member local governments' per-capita allocation for regional transportation projects proposed by the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority (Translink) and approved by the GVRD Board; . The Strategic Priorities Fund, which provides communities outside the GVRD with access to pooled, application-based funding for projects larger in scale, or regional in impact, or innovative.

ln late January, the Gas Tax Fund Management Committee approved funding for 57 new infrastructure projects from among the 222 applications ít received under the Strategic Priorities Fund. Funding was approved for thirty capacity building projects and twenty-seven capital projects.

Dear Chair Rushton:

Re: Expansion of Transit Services

I am writing to update you on the actions that this government has taken in Budget 2016 to enhance transit services across British Columbia by $12.7 million over the next three years. These investments ensure that B.C. continues to lead the nation in its level of funding support for transit services and contribute to our goals of increased mobility within and between communities, as well as contributing to the province's greenhouse gas reduction targets. Over 50 million trips were tnade on BC Transit buses last year, and we expect that number to continue to rise as we work together to improve and expand services across the province.

Last October, we made amendments to the British Columbia Transit Act that ensured that the base funding provided in Budget 2015 could be used most efficiently, allowing BC Transit and its partner communities to capitalize on low fuel prices and reinvest these savings in transit services in their communities.

In December, it was my pleasure to announce the five point action plan to improve safety and mobility along Highway 16. As part of this action plan, we will be investing $1.6 million over the next two years to improve inter-community services along this key northern corridor. We are working closely with First Nations and local government leaders along Highway l6 to implement these vital services and hope to have buses on the road as soon as possible.

As well, over the next three years, the Province will be investing an additional $ I I .l million to not only maintain transit and HandyDART services in BC Transit communities, but to increase them. Communities that have made requests to BC Transit in the past for expanded services should be hearing from their local transit planners in the near future to discuss their past requests.

Increasing funding is only one side of the equation, however. The Ministry of Finance will soon be releasing their Crown Agency Review of BC Transit. As I have mentioned in previous letters, my expectation is that this review will contribute to a dialogue amongst the partners in each community through the identihcation of revenue opportunities as well as efficiencies, ensuring each transit community reflects best practices. This review will position the Province, local governments and contracted service providers to play their part in managing costs and optimizing revenues as local service priorities are considered.

I look forward to working with BC Transit and all its partner communities as we continue to invest, innovate, and work together to deliver the world-class transit services that British Columbians have come to expect from us.

Sincerely,

Todd G. Stone Minister

Dear Chair Rushton:

The Province of British Columbia knows that British Columbians have expressed an ínterest in seeing greater choice, convenience and competition in the availability and provision of transportation ancJ accommodation services. Companies such as Uber, Lyft and Airbnb may present opportunities to meet changing public expectations. ln considering the opportuníties that these services may provide, it is important that the Province understands any impacts that could result for consumers, host communities and existíng service providers. The many people currently providing passenger and accommodation services in British Columbia have made investments, providing jobs and valuable contributions to the ecorìomy. Thought must be given as to how any new services are regulated, recognizing the need to be respectful of existing industry participants while at the same time being fair and equitable to any possible new entrants to these sectors.

Tothis end, overthe coming months, lwill be meetingwith a wide arrayof stakeholdersto explore issues pertaíning to the sharing economy and develop a better understanding of the opportunities and challenges that they provide for citizens and communities.

Locally elected officials from both urban and rural regions will have important perspectives on the issues and opportunities surrounding the sharing economy, and I am eager to draw these out as part of the consultation process. lt is my hope that lwill be able to engage with as many localgovernments as possible in person oVer the coming months. Regardless of whether we are able to undertake this discussion in person, I would also value the opportunity to review your thoughts on this mâtter via any written submission you may care to provide to me, and I encourage you to considen sending your thoughts to me directly by emailat: CSCD.Mí[email protected].

Your perspectives could include ideas on how sharing and existing servicê economies could be integrated, on perceived challenges and opportunities; and on provincial and local government roles in regulating and facilitating any changes we might contemplate.

Dear Greg,

SUBJECT: 2016-2017 Annual Operating Agreement

Further to the information provided with your three year budget forecast (3YB) in October, 2015, and in consideration of subsequent discussions, please find enclosed your 2016-2017 Annual Operating Agreement (AOA) for approval. This AOA, along with the Master Operating Agreement (MOA), constitute the operating agreements for your transit system.

On February 16, 2016, the provincial budget announcement confirmed new funding for expansion initiatives within BC Transit’s three year service plan. BC Transit is currently working to update the Transit Improvement Program letters for distribution in April and will be working with partners to confirm expansion plans for 2017- 2018 and 2018-2019. It is important to note that new funding is purposed specifically for expansion initiatives and the expectation remains for BC Transit and partners to efficiently manage base service levels within the allowable funding.

The 3YB provided a detailed summary of key trends and initiatives influencing your 2016-2017 operating budgets as well as the amended BC Transit regulations. In response to regulatory changes, we have made two changes to your AOA. We have introduced a section titled Operating Reserves, as required in Section 10(1)(j) of the regulations, which outlines the provision respecting your operating reserve. Further, we have expanded your Schedule C at the bottom to reflect the budgeted opening and closing balances for your Operating Reserve.

Complementary to the information provided with your 3YB, the following represents the major cost drivers and key assumptions used to develop the Schedule “C” in your 2016-2017 AOA:

Revenue  Recently changes were made to the BC Bus Pass program which may have an impact on revenue. While the change will not have an impact on revenues prior to January 1st, 2017, any potential impact in 2017 has not been reflected in your 2016-2017 AOA. BC Transit is currently working to estimate the potential impact on BC Bus Pass revenue and will provide an updated estimate to inform your budgeting efforts for 2017.

Operating Costs  An Inflationary increase of 1.8% in the operating company’s fixed costs which includes all of the operating company’s overhead (non-driver and non-mechanic) costs to deliver service such as supervision, dispatching, training, bus fueling, bus interior cleaning & washing, utilities, rents and administration.  A basic inflationary increase in driver related labour costs of 1.6%, to reflect overall changes to wage and benefit rates and increased statutory employer contributions.  Variable Fuel Costs reflect a fuel price of $1.28/L.

Administration  An internal review of all BC Transit service functions resulted in an overall reduction in BCTMS by 1.6%.

Maintenance  Changes to the Fleet Maintenance budget reflect actual activity during the current year and upcoming work forecasted for 2016-17 as well as assumptions on inflationary increases related to parts.

Capital Initiatives and Debt Service  Vehicle Lease Fees reflect the forecasted fleet plan, including both current and replacement vehicles, for the upcoming operating year.

While it is understood that the financial information contained within the AOA is needed for budgeting and planning purposes, it is important to note that the costs outlined in the Schedule “C” – Budget contain commercially confidential information from our operating company and are subject to protection afforded by the Freedom of Information & Protection of Privacy Act. Any reports to Council or Regional Boards, or any discussions which may be made within the public sphere which contain costs associated with the provision of transit services must be limited to four line items showing Revenues, Total Operating Costs, Total Costs and Total Local Government’s Share of Costs.

To expedite the process of executing AOAs, you’ll note the addition of a counterpart clause under Section 5. This clause allows for each party to sign a copy of the agreement separately and return directly to BC Transit by electronic means. Therefore, once the agreements have received signature, please return the signed copy by fax or in a .pdf format to BC Transit for execution. Please make every effort to have these agreements returned to BC Transit within thirty days of receipt. If you have any questions related to the AOA or budgets, please feel free to contact me.

Yours truly,

Chris Fudge Senior Regional Transit Manager, BC Transit

Dear Ms. Soltau:

Health Minister Terry Lake has announced the 73 communities selected for the provincial rollout of British Columbia’s Community Paramedicine Initiative. We are pleased to advise that Sointula is among those selected.

Community paramedicine will provide British Columbians in rural and remote communities with better access to primary health care and a more stabilized paramedic presence for emergency response. BC Emergency Health Services has been working closely with the Ministry of Health, the regional Health Authorities, the Ambulance Paramedics of BC (Local 873), the First Nations Health Authority and others to implement this initiative, which is the first in Canada to be introduced as a province-wide program.

Positions will be posted in a series of cohorts across the Health Authorities, beginning in Northern Health. The selection, orientation and placement process is expected to take about four months for each cohort.

Additional information is available by visiting bcehs.ca and clicking on Our Services/Programs & Services/Community Paramedicine. You may also contact us at [email protected]

RE: INTEGRITY COMMISIONER PRESENTATION

Dear Chair Rushton

The Powell River Regional District in partnership with the City of Powell River is pleased to host a presentation by Reece Harding, Barrister & Solicitor / Mediator, of the law firm Young Anderson. The topic for the presentation is the concept of an Integrity Commissioner for BC local government.

The net effect of our provincially legislated powers deprives directors and councillors from seeking sage advice on matters of conflict or pecuniary interests. An integrity commissioner could resolve that.

The number of unbecoming misconduct episodes reported in the media involving local government elected officials across Canada is also alarming. The size or location of the local government is irrelevant. There is no common denominator and the trend is non- discriminatory. Again, there is no effective mechanism currently within our powers to deal with these unfortunate incidents. An integrity commissioner would greatly assist in matters that arise and/or prevent them from happening.

We would be pleased to have you and your board attend this informative presentation on May 27,2016 at 1:00 p.m.. Senior staff is most certainly welcome as well. The concept has been accepted in the east and is gaining popularity. Perhaps it is the next logical step in improving our own local government system. Please RSVP to Brenda Paquin by May 23,2016.

Sincerely, I ? ñ,^[n'']- Patrick Brabazon, Chair

RDMW boundaries Greg presented the Regional District boundary adjustment. The main reason for the realignment is to create similarities between the populations and the assessments. ln addition it is important to group similar areas together such as the 'Namgis and Port McNeill south to Woss rather than having the 'Namgis and Sointula grouped.

MRDT (HotelTax) Pat reported that we have an opportunity to realign our reporting process as Port Hardy is on its own reporting and renewal time over the rest of the region. ln addition there was discussion over increasing the tax to 3To and what that could look like to Vancouver lsland North Tourism (VINT) Joli White can make presentations to council on some of the important benefits of partnering with VINT.

Solid Waste Management Plan Patrick reported on the need to renew the solid waste plan for the region and the benefits of updating this plan allow the RD to make better planning choices that have already been consulted on with the local public. Patrick reported on the possibility of an organic diversion at the 7 mile landfill site which could include curbside pickup of bio solids in Port McNeill and Port Hardy. There are many challenges including the costs, Patrick will be working with the larger communities (PH and PMN) to see if this opportunity will be viable. A mini survey could be conducted on the north island to see what the user appetite is.

Port Hardy Multiplex Allison reported on the Port Hardy Multiplex, stating that both architects and project managers have been secured and work will begin very soon on the concept. The Council is gearing for a referendum in the fallto help determine what our next steps will be. PH will be meeting with stakeholders to determine the needs of the project and ensure that we are including the entire North lsland Region.

May 5, 2016 File: 2016-SP-10 Folio: 15126.235 Clifford and Lorrene Laursen PO Box 3762, Stn Main Olds, Alberta T4H 1P5

Dear Clifford and Lorrene,

Re: Application for Site Permit – 6010 Mine Road, Hyde Creek (Lot A, Section 16, Township 1, Rupert District, Plan VIP85720)

I have reviewed your Application for Site Permit with respect to the siting of a single-family dwelling in the form of a 62.4 square metre (672 square foot) mobile home on the above referenced property (subject property) in accordance with the site plan provided with your application (and other information provided by email) and the applicable regulations of Hyde Creek Zoning Bylaw No. 648, 2002 (Bylaw No. 648).

The subject property is included in the Rural Residential RA-1 Zone (RA-1 Zone) in accordance with Zone Map No. 1 of Bylaw No. 648. The regulations of the RA-1 Zone stipulate a minimum lot size of 1 hectare (2.47 acres). The subject property is 1.14 hectares (2.82 acres) in size and thereby complies with the minimum lot size requirement. While a minimum frontage requirement is not prescribed by Bylaw No. 648, section 512 of the Local Government Act requires the minimum frontage to be 10% of the perimeter of the lot where a lot fronts on a highway (Mine Road). In this regard, the subject property must have 51.61 metres (169.3 feet) of frontage and it has 52.14 metres (171 feet) of frontage on Mine Road. Single-family dwelling (which by definition includes a mobile home) is a permitted use of the RA-1 Zone and the proposal to site a mobile home on the subject property conforms to the permitted uses of Bylaw No. 648 in this regard.

A review of the regulations of Bylaw No. 648 has been conducted for the single-family dwelling which is shown as “Proposed location of 12’ x 56’ mobile home” on the site plan attached hereto on page 4, as follows:

Required Proposed Conformity Front Lot Line Setback (Mine Road): minimum of 9.0 +/- 160 metres (530 feet) yes metres (29.5 feet) Side Lot Line Setback (east): minimum of 1.5 metres +/-22 metres (72.2 feet) yes (4.875 feet) Side Lot Line Setback (west): minimum of 1.5 metres +/-16 metres (52.5 feet) yes (4.875 feet) Setback from Natural Boundary of Ocean (Broughton 15 metres (49.2 feet) yes Strait): minimum of 15 metres (49.2 feet) Setback from High Water Mark (top of bank) of 20 metres (65.6 feet) yes Unnamed Creek: minimum of 10.2 metres (33.46 feet)

You advise that the height of the single-family dwelling is 3.7 metres (12 feet). Bylaw No. 648 stipulates that the maximum height of any principal or accessory building is 12 metres (39.37 feet). Height means the vertical distance between the average elevation of the finished grade of the lot, along the front of the development, to the highest point of the roof surface.

INCORPORATED JUNE 13, 1966 MUNICIPALITIES: ALERT BAY, PORT ALICE, PORT HARDY, PORT MCNEILL ELECTORAL AREAS: “A” (SOINTULA); “B” (HOLBERG, WINTER HARBOUR); “C” (QUATSINO, COAL HARBOUR, HYDE CREEK); “D” (WOSS, TELEGRAPH COVE)37

Application for Site Permit: Laursen – 6010 Mine Road, Hyde Creek 2

Off-street parking must be provided in accordance with section 3.1.0 of Bylaw No. 648. Two off-street parking stalls must be provided with respect to a single-family dwelling. In this regard, the driveway from Mine Road to the single-family dwelling satisfies the requirement to provide two off-street parking stalls.

A review of the current title for the subject property has been conducted for the purposes of identifying any encumbrances (covenants, easements or statutory rights of way) that may restrict the siting of buildings on the subject property. In this regard, there are four restrictive covenants registered on the title of the subject property as follows:

1) Covenant FB214366: This covenant includes provisions related to flooding given the property’s location adjacent to the ocean. In this regard, the covenant requires that no building or mobile home shall be constructed within 15 metres of the natural boundary of the Broughton Strait (ocean). In addition, this covenant provides that in the case of a mobile home, the ground level or top of concrete or asphalt pad on which the mobile home is located shall be no lower than 1.5 metres above the natural boundary of Broughton Strait. In this regard, you confirm that the elevation of the mobile home will be 2 metres above the natural boundary of the ocean.

2) Covenant FB214368: This covenant includes provisions related to protection of the natural environment and indicates that without written consent of the transferees, one shall not cut down, trim, prune, defoliate, alter, remove or in any way tamper with or work on any trees, shrubs, plants, bushes, ground cover, vegetation, or any other form of plant life with 15 metres of the natural boundary of Broughton Strait, or within 7.5 metres from the unnamed creek, with certain exceptions and provisos. It is noted that this covenant is to be discharged from title as a condition of the approval by the RDMW of Development Variance Permit DVP-03-2010 which resulted in the registration of covenant FB390380 on the title of the subject property. In this regard, covenant FB214368 is redundant.

3) Covenant FB214370: This covenant relates to protection of a portion of the subject property which is designated in the covenant as a “sewerage system and discharge area” for the purposes of utilizing it for sewerage system purposes only. This covenant also includes a number of other provisions which relate to installation of a sewerage system on the subject property.

4) Covenant FB390380: This covenant includes provisions related to protection of the natural environment and flooding given the property’s location adjacent to the ocean and the presence of an unnamed creek which flows through the subject property and which has been returned to Crown. In this regard, a portion of the subject property has been designated as a “restricted area” which includes that area within 15 metres of the natural boundary of Broughton Strait, the area within 10.2 metres of the easterly side of the natural boundary of the unnamed creek as well as the bed of the unnamed creek, and that part of the subject property which is west of the unnamed creek. The covenant requires that there shall be no:

a) operation of heavy equipment nor the placement, storage or stockpiling of soil or building materials in the restricted area; b) deposition or removal of soil on or from the restricted area; c) alteration of the contours of the restricted area; d) cutting down, removal, pruning or damage to any tree, shrub or plant growing on the restricted area; e) construction, erection or placement in, on or over the restricted area, of any building, structure or other improvement, including off-street parking areas; f) drilling or blasting activities on, in or under the restricted area; g) planting of trees, shrubs, flowers, crops or other types of vegetation on the restricted area except species which are native to the restricted area; and, h) alteration, diversion, filling, damming, culverting or pollution of any watercourse, pond or wetland located on the restricted area.

This easement also includes a number of other restrictions that relate to the restricted area, as well as certain exceptions and provisos to the restrictions outlined in the covenant that relate to the restricted area. 38 Application for Site Permit: Laursen – 6010 Mine Road, Hyde Creek 3

It is noted that the subject property is not served by public or community water or sewage systems and in this regard, the single-family dwelling will be required to be served by on-site sewage disposal and water services. Please consult with Island Health (formerly Vancouver Island Health Authority) with respect to arrangements / requirements related to the provision of sewage and water services. In this regard, you can contact Mr. Eric Bergsma, Environmental Health Officer, by telephone at 250-902-6078 or by email at [email protected].

Given the above review, the RDMW has approved the Site Permit included on page 4 with respect to the proposed single-family dwelling in accordance with the site plan and related information submitted as part of your Application for Site Permit. The site plan is marked “APPROVED” and signed/dated by the undersigned and is attached hereto on page 5.

While the subject property is not within the mandatory building inspection area of the Regional District of Mount Waddington, all construction must be undertaken in accordance with the British Columbia Building Code and any other applicable provincial and federal legislation and associated regulations. Electrical and gas work may require a permit from the BC Safety Authority and you are advised to check with the BCSA in this regard (Tel: 1-866-566-7233 Web: http://safetyauthority.ca).

It is noted that construction of new homes may be required to meet certain requirements administered by the Homeowner Protection Office (Branch of BC Housing) under the Homeowner Protection Act and regulations. Please contact the Homeowner Protection office at 1-800-407-7757, [email protected] or visit the HPO website at https://hpo.bc.ca/.

INTERAGENCY REFERRAL REPORT

Date: April 22, 2016 RDMW File No.: 2016013

Provincial Agency: Ministry of Forests, Lands and Agency File No: 1610684 Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO) Electoral Area: B Electoral Area Director: Phil Wainwright Applicant’s Name: North Island Mining Corp. Applicant’s Location: Vancouver, BC Application Type: Notice of Work – Mineral Duration: 1 year Exploration Location: +/-6km northeast of Holberg Area: 1.15 hectares (2.8 acres)

Proposal:

The RDMW has received a referral from the Province with respect to a Notice of Work for Mineral Exploration Application that has been submitted by North Island Mining Corp. The purpose of the application is to obtain approval to conduct mineral exploration within a 1.15 hectare (2.8 acre) area of Crown land known as the Red Dog site in Electoral Area B, approximately 6 kilometres northeast of Holberg (see map on page 3). There are a number of mining tenures in the vicinity.

The proposed exploration program consists of approximately 1,800 metres (5,906 feet) of drilling from 13 platform sites (drill pads). Access to the drill pads will be by forestry access road NE62H. NE62H was deactivated in the late 1990s or early 2000s and would be reactivated including clearing of alders, salmon berries and juvenile hemlock that have grown up along the roadway since it was deactivated. Culverts previously removed will be replaced. The 13 drill pad platforms will be placed in the same sites as those used in the late 1980s and in the 1990s. Approximately 200 metres (656 feet) of new access road will be required to be reconstructed where the access to the old drill pads sites has been removed and re contoured as part of deactivation.

The applicant advises that engagement activities have been undertaken with respect to the Quatsino, Kwakiutl and Tlatasikwala First Nations. It is not indicated as to whether consultation has occurred with Western Forest products Inc., holder of Tree Farm Licence No. 6, which appears to include the area of subject property.

Regional Plan (Bylaw No. 674, 2003):

Regional Plan Bylaw No. 674, 2003 is a strategic plan that outlines the vision for the RDMW. It establishes the RDMW’s land use planning policies and priorities with respect to the use of Crown lands and waters. The Plan vision, as well as the general crown land use policies, support resource-based economic development while emphasizing the need for long-term ecological, economic and social sustainability.

In relation to Crown lands, the Regional Plan indicates that the RDMW will promote the sustainable management and harvest of renewable resources and extraction of primary resources as a priority in the long- term use and management of public lands and waters.

With respect to mining and mineral extraction specifically, the Regional Plan indicates that the RDMW supports mineral extraction and processing activities that propose responsible management practices, and meet all relevant provincial, federal and local government policies and regulations.

April 20, 2016 File: 2016-SP-09 Folio: 14711.326 Patricia Lewis PO Box 5161 Woss, BC V0N 3P0

Dear Patricia,

RE: Application for Site Permit – 26 Hoomak Avenue, Woss (Lot 64, Block H, Section 21, Rupert District, Plan VIP69588)

I have reviewed your Application for Site Permit with respect to the siting of a new 152.25 square metre (1,639 square foot) accessory greenhouse building on the above referenced property (subject property) in accordance with the site plan provided with your application, and the applicable regulations of Woss Community Land Use Bylaw No.556, 2006 (Bylaw No. 556). The existing 121.33 square metre (1,306 square foot) single detached dwelling will be retained as will the existing 52.67 square metre (567 square foot) accessory detached garage building.

The subject property is included in the R1 General Residential Zone (R1 Zone) in accordance with Schedule A-2 of Bylaw No. 556. The regulations of the R1 Zone stipulate a minimum lot size of 650 square metres (6,996.5 square feet). The subject property is 1,220 square metres (13,132 square feet) in size and thereby complies with the minimum lot size requirement. The minimum front lot line requirement is 20 metres (65.6 feet) on a single front lot line and the subject property has 29.471 metres (96.7 feet) of frontage on Hoomak Avenue. Accessory building is a permitted use of the R1 Zone and the proposal to site an accessory greenhouse building on the subject property conforms to the permitted uses of Bylaw No. 556 in this regard.

A review of the setback regulations of Bylaw No. 556 has been conducted with respect to the accessory greenhouse building shown as “Greenhouse (proposed)” on the site plan submitted by you and attached hereto, as follows:

Required Proposed Conformity Front Lot Line Setback (Hoomak Avenue): minimum 28.6 metres (93.8 feet) yes of 5.0 metres (16.4 feet) Rear Lot Line Setback (property line parallel to and 3 metres (9.84 feet) yes opposite front lot line): minimum of 1.5 metres (4.92 feet) Side Lot Line Setback (northerly): minimum of 1.5 8.2 metres (26.9 feet) yes metres (4.875 feet) Side Lot Line Setback (southerly): minimum of 1.5 2 metres (6.56 feet) yes metres (4.875 feet)

The maximum lot coverage prescribed by Bylaw No. 556 is 40% which equates to 488 square metres (5,252.8 square feet) for the subject property. The proposed lot coverage for the subject property, taking into account the proposed accessory greenhouse building and the existing single detached dwelling and existing accessory detached garage building, is 326.25 square metres (3,512 square feet) or 26.74%, and is therefore in conformity with Bylaw No. 556.

The proposed height of the accessory greenhouse building is approximately 7.264 metres (23.8 feet). Bylaw No. 556 stipulates that the maximum height of a principal or accessory building is 10.7 metres (35.1 feet).

Off-street parking must be provided in accordance with Part 3 of Bylaw No. 556. The existing driveway area shown on your site plan as well as the parking available in the accessory garage building satisfies the requirement to provide two off-street parking stalls in association with the existing single detached dwelling. No additional off-street parking stalls are required with respect to the proposed accessory greenhouse building.

A review of the current title for the subject property has been conducted for the purposes of identifying any encumbrances (covenants, easements or statutory rights of way) that may restrict the siting of buildings on the subject property. In this regard, there are five easements and two statutory rights of way registered on the title of the subject property as follows:

1) Easements EN89620, EN89627, EN89629, EN89630 and EN89631: These easements relate to an area of the subject property shown on plan VIP69594 that is largely parallel and adjacent to the rear lot line of the subject property. The easements relate to Lots 54, 55, 56 and 65 in Plan VIP69588 and give the owner of these lots the right to enter onto the easement area for the purpose of constructing and maintaining drainage works within it. There are certain obligations of the owner of the subject property, such as not locating any buildings or structures (other than fences) within the easement area. The siting of the proposed accessory greenhouse building must stay outside the easement area. As a result, the site plan submitted with your application has been revised as shown on the site plan attached hereto, to show the proposed accessory greenhouse building being 3 metres (9.84 feet) away from the easterly property line (rear lot line) in order to comply with this requirement.

2) Statutory Right of Way EN89611: This statutory right of way (SRW) relates to a narrow strip of land that is parallel to a portion of the northerly property line and all of the westerly property line adjacent to Hoomak Avenue as shown in Plan VIP54325. This SRW is in favour of the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority (BC Hydro) and gives BC Hydro the ability to construct and maintain works on this portion of the subject property. There are certain obligations of the property owner, such as not locating any buildings or structures in this area. The siting of the proposed accessory greenhouse building does not conflict with this SRW.

3) Statutory Right of Way EN89612: This statutory right of way (SRW) relates to a narrow strip of land that is parallel to a portion of the northerly property line and all of the westerly property line adjacent to Hoomak Avenue as shown in Plan VIP54325. This SRW is in favour of the BC Tel (TELUS) and gives BC TELUS the ability to construct and maintain works on this portion of the subject property. There are certain obligations of the property owner, such as not locating any buildings or structures in this area. The siting of the proposed accessory greenhouse building does not conflict with this SRW.

It is noted that the subject property is served by public water and sewage services. Should you require a service connection(s) for the proposed accessory greenhouse building, please contact Mr. Patrick Donaghy, Manager of Operations for the RDMW, at 250-956-3301 or [email protected].

Given the above review, the RDMW has approved the Site Permit included on page 4 with respect to the proposed accessory greenhouse building in accordance with the site plan which is marked “APPROVED” and signed/dated by the undersigned, and attached hereto on page 5.

Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.
