6.10 Planner – Furry Creek Golf Club Liquor License

It was moved by Director Macri and seconded by Director Kamenka:

THAT the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Board recommends the issuance of the liquor primary licence for Furry Creek Golf Course for the following reasons:

(b) It does not involve additional seating or expansion of the Club House; (c) The licence could improve the economic viability and success of the Golf Club; (d) There is adequate separation of the licensed facilities from the residential uses.

AND THAT the Regional Board’s comments on the prescribed considerations are as follows:

1. Location: The location is a lounge in a pre-existing golf course clubhouse that is suitably removed from nearby residences. The beverage carts and kiosk will cater to the golf course and must adhere to the regulations of the Liquor Control and Licensing Act.

2. Proximity to other social or recreation facilities and public buildings: There

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page19 of 117 This is page 12 of the minutes of a meeting of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Board, held on May 19, 2005

are no other social, recreational, or public venues in the Furry Creek community; this licence will therefore not create a conflict with such uses.

3. The person capacity and hours of the liquor service: The maximum capacity of the lounge area is 40 people; the hours are 9am to 12am (midnight), 7 days a week, for seven months of the year (March to October). These hours should not have an effect on the community, as access to and from the clubhouse does not pass any residential areas. The hours of the beverage cart licensing and kiosk on the golf course will be limited to daylight hours and should thus limit disturbance to residences.

4. Number and market focus or clientele of liquor primary licence establishments within a reasonable distance of the proposed location: At present there are no other liquor primary establishments in the Howe Sound East Corridor (Lion’s Bay, Porteau Cove, Furry Creek, and Britannia Beach). There is, however, a proposal for a liquor store in an existing commercial building at Britannia Beach. This should not impact the proposal for the lounge and beverage cart facilities at the golf course, as the store would be catering to a different need than the lounge and beverage cart service.

5. Traffic, noise, parking, & zoning: Any increase in traffic resulting from the added licensed seats or beverage carts would be minimal, as Highway 99 is well traveled as it is and the highway exit leads directly to the clubhouse without passing any of the Furry Creek residences. The clubhouse building is isolated from the residences on Furry Creek Drive and Stonegate Blvd, by a road and several golf holes, indicating that noise should not affect these homes. The clubhouse currently accommodates 95 free parking spaces, with residual space on the golf club roadway when necessary, which is ample parking for the total size of the clubhouse and capacity of the golf course. The parcels on which the clubhouse and golf course are located are all unzoned under SLRD Electoral Area D Zoning Bylaw 540, but are subject to the Furry Creek Uplands Development Covenant, which allows for the clubhouse and golf course facilities.

6. Population, population density, and population trends: There are approximately 30 single family dwellings and 60 town homes in the Furry Creek community with a population of approximately 200. Britannia Beach, five kilometres to the north has a population of approximately 300 as well. Given the predictions of a doubling of population over the next 20 years within the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District, it would appear that the presence of the licensed facilities is warranted.

7. Relevant socio-economic information: No contravention statistics have been compiled for the area, as there are no other licensed facilities at present. With the proposed population increases, as well the expected growth in tourism throughout the Sea to Sky Corridor associated with the 2010 Olympic Games, there will be a demand for both employment and social opportunities that these types of

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page20 of 117 This is page 13 of the minutes of a meeting of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Board, held on May 19, 2005

operations might provide.

8. The impact on the community if the application is approved: If this application is approved, the impact is expected to be positive in that it will support the growth in tourism and offer a new social venue for tourists and residents alike.

AND THAT the Regional Board’s comments on the views of residents and business owners are as follows:

Residents in the Furry Creek community were not formally solicited for their opinions on the proposed licence application, however it has been informally observed that most are aware of the application and no objections have been expressed. As well, the Furry Creek Community Association, a group representing the approximately 200 people who live in both the Uplands and Oceanside areas of the development, have passed on support of the application. Since the application does not involve a significant change in use for the Furry Creek Golf Course, the SLRD did not feel that it warranted further public consultation.

5 Delegations

7.1 Steve Anderson, Pemberton Adventure Ranch; Crown Land Commercial Recreation Application for Whistler Jet Boating; Lillooet River, Green River, Lillooet Lake Planner W. Macrae outlined the purpose of this application. The SLRD had previously raised concern with this operation’s impacts on erosion/siltation, public use/ safety, fisheries/wildlife, and noise. Other concerns were also raised from

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page36 of 117 Mt. Currie and DFO and the crown land tenure was not offered by LWBC in 2004. The AAC was asked to provide comment on the erosion/siltation issue and respond to the study conducted by Mr. Anderson on said issue. Mr. Anderson provided background comments on the operation, the discontinuance of activities on the Green River, and the impacts of various speeds on wakes. It was moved by A. McEwan and seconded by D. Meredith: THAT the AAC recommends that an independent environmental consultant review the research data presented by Mr. Anderson to determine its validity and to recommend whether or not further research is required (in order to determine whether the erosion/ siltation is an issue). Carried

5.2 Rick Staehli for Peter Staehli, owner; Application for 2nd dwelling in the ALR for non-farm use; 1399 Pemberton Farm Rd.; Lot 2, Plan 11665, DL 164, LLD Planner W. Macrae outlined several pieces of information surrounding the application: that an application for a 3 lot subdivision was rejected by the ALC in 1998; that a second dwelling in the form of a mobile home (9m wide) is allowed on the property for a family member; and that a second dwelling for farm help would need to be qualified as necessary for a farm operation. Peter and Rick Staehli spoke to the nominal impacts of this application on agriculture and of the proliferation of non-sanctioned second dwellings in the ALR. It was moved by D. Meredith and seconded by R. Kuurne: That the AAC does not support this application, according to the guidelines of the ALC and because there is no net benefit to agriculture. Carried

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page37 of 117 agreed that bylaw enforcement is a challenge and is something that the SLRD needs to improve upon in order to send out a message that the ALR should be preserved for farm use and that landowners cannot build a dwelling without a permit. The AAC will draft a letter requesting the SLRD Board to investigate this issue and to pursue bylaw enforcement action against several known infractions.

7.3 Accretion Application, Lot 1, Plan KAP64080, DL 164, LLD An application to confirm accreted land on this property was presented.

It was moved by D. Meredith and seconded by. R. Kuurne:

THAT the AAC supports this application, as it has no negative impact on agriculture and could have a positive impact by improving buffering or being added to the productive agricultural land base.

SQUAMISH-LILLOOET REGIONAL DISTRICT

Minutes of a Public Hearing convened by the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Board, held in the Seton Fire Hall, Seton Portage BC, on March 16, 2005 at 11:30 AM.

Present were: Area B Director M. Macri (Chair), Planner W. Macrae, Recording Secretary A. Macdonald and 25 members of the public.

CALL TO ORDER Director Macri called the Public Hearing to order at 11:30 AM.

CHAIR’S Director Macri made the following statement: COMMENTS Good Morning. My name is Mickey Macri and as the Electoral Area B Director for the Squamish Lillooet Regional District, I have been asked to chair this public hearing. On my left is Willie Macrae, Planner, who will answer any technical questions and on my right is Allison MacDonald, Manager of Administrative Services, who will record your comments.

This public hearing is convened pursuant to Section 890 of the Local Government Act to allow the public to make representations to the Board respecting matters contained in proposed:

Bylaw 922-2004, a By-law to adopt an Official Community Plan for a portion of Electoral Area B (Seton Portage and Anderson/Seton Lakes) of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District

This By-law was advertised in the March 2nd and March 9th issues of the “Lillooet News”.

Every one of you present who believes that your interest in property is affected by the proposed by-law shall be given a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the proposed by-law. None of you will be discouraged or prevented from making your views known. However, it is important that you restrict your remarks to matters contained in the proposed by-law.

When speaking please address the Chair, and commence your remarks by clearly stating your name and address.

Members of the Board may, if they so wish ask questions following a presentation. However, the function of Board representatives at this public hearing is to listen rather than to debate the merits of the proposed by-law.

After this public hearing has concluded, the Board may, without further notice or hearing, adopt or defeat the by-law, or alter and then adopt the by-law, provided that the alteration does not alter the use or increase the density.

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page39 of 117 This is Page 2 of the Minutes of a Public Hearing convened by the Regional Board of the Squamish- Lillooet Regional District, held on March 16, 2005 at 11:30 AM

May I remind you that this morning/afternoon is your final opportunity for input on the By-law.

I will now ask Willie Macrae, to introduce:

Bylaw 922-2004, a By-law to adopt an Official Community Plan for a portion of Electoral Area B (Seton Portage and Anderson/Seton Lakes) of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District

PLANNERS Mr. Macrae outlined the bylaw, and the history of public meetings and COMMENTS work done to date on Bylaw 922. He noted that bylaw 922 would have no effect on aboriginal rights and title. He stated the goal of the bylaw was to establish and reflect the existing state of the community. Mr. Macrae outlined some of the key ideas and land use designations within the bylaw.

AGENCY Mr. Macrae read a letter from the St’at’imc Chiefs Council: COMMENTS We bring the following to your attention:

St'at'imc title and rights throughout our territory has never been ceded, surrendered, extinguished or converted, and can never be extinguished, directly or indirectly, by the legislation or policies of the Province of British Columbia. Our lawful proprietary interests in our lands and resources are invaluable, and include a stewardship responsibility and an economic component. Our title and rights must be addressed and accommodated in any proposed Crown action that is a potential infringement. The St'at'imc title in our territory includes the responsibility of making land and resource use decisions on behalf of this and future generations. Any proposed provincial crown authorization of land and resource use is a potential infringement that requires consultation with us.

In the absence of a clear and transparent process between the St'at'imc and the Province of British Columbia, which includes the identification of appropriate and sustainable land and resource management plans and the principles for addressing and accommodating our interests, a substantive review and the provisions of comments on individual specific land use referrals cannot be sufficiently achieved.

Our title and rights have historically not been recognized or accommodated by either the provincial or federal Crown, nor have our lawful interests been given appropriate consideration in the Crown’s decision-making processes regarding land and resource use or allocations. This has led to the unsustainable use of land and resources. The courts have called the parties to negotiate a resolution of long-standing differences. We suggest that the Province of BC initiate immediate

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page40 of 117 This is Page 3 of the Minutes of a Public Hearing convened by the Regional Board of the Squamish- Lillooet Regional District, held on March 16, 2005 at 11:30 AM

discussions with the St'at'imc Chiefs Council to develop and implement a good faith consultation and accommodation process regarding land and resource use within our territory.

This process must be transparent and flexible to address the various types of applications for tenures that are received and provide a useful guide for our respective activities and decisions. It must also be structured to substantially address our concerns and accommodate our interests. With such a process in place these individual referrals could be processed in a transparent, certain and timely manner.

This is a reasonable and prudent next step, which could bed initiated immediately while we continue to negotiate the appropriate terms and conditions for the accommodation of St'at'imc and Crown title within our territory. By doing this we will help to create an atmosphere of trust that will promote healthy communities and economies.

Without a process for addressing the concerns and interests of the St'at'imc, Provincial approval of land and resource use within our territory creates economic and legal certainty within our territory that will continue to harm all of our communities and the economy.

We trust that you will take the necessary steps to honour and address the concerns raised in this letter before taking any further steps to consider or approve this application.

With respect, Chief Garry John.

Minutes of a Public Hearing convened by the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Board, held in the Board Room, Pemberton, BC, on May 25, 2005 at 7:00 PM.

Present were: Area C Director S. Gimse (Chair), Planner L. Griffith, Recording Secretary A. Macdonald and 20 members of the public.

CALL TO ORDER Director Gimse called the Public Hearing to order at 7:00 PM.

CHAIR’S Director Gimse made the following statement: COMMENTS Good Evening. My name is Susan Gimse and as the Electoral Area C Director for the Squamish Lillooet Regional District, I have been asked to chair this public hearing. I would like to introduce Director Elinor Warner, Village of Pemberton who is in attendance tonight to hear your comments first hand. On my left is Lisa Griffith, Planner, who will answer any technical questions and on my right is Allison Macdonald, who will record your comments.

This public hearing is convened pursuant to Section 890 of the Local Government Act to allow the public to make representations to the Board respecting matters contained in proposed:

Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Area C Zoning Bylaw No. 765-2002, Amendment By-law No. 861-2004.

This By-law was advertised in the May 12th and 19th issues of the “Whistler Question” Newspaper.

When speaking please address the Chair, and commence your remarks by clearly stating your name and address.

After this public hearing has concluded, the Board may, without further notice or hearing, adopt or defeat the by-law, or alter and then adopt the

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page43 of 117 This is Page 2 of the Minutes of a Public Hearing convened by the Regional Board of the Squamish- Lillooet Regional District, held on May 25, 2005 at 7:00 PM

by-law, provided that the alteration does not alter the use or increase the density.

May I remind you that tonight is your final opportunity for input on the By-law.

I will now ask Lisa Griffith, to introduce:

Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Area C Zoning Bylaw No. 765-2002, Amendment By-law No. 861-2004.

PLANNERS Ms. Griffith read the following statement: COMMENTS The purpose of Bylaw 861 is to amend the Electoral Area C Zoning Bylaw No. 765, 2002 to rezone the subject property from Rural 1 (which has a minimum parcel area of 2 ha or 5 acres) to Rural 1 – Rural Residential sub-zone (which has a minimum parcel area of 1 ha or 2.5 ac) in order to facilitate the development of a 21 estate lot strata subdivision proposed over a portion of DL 198 and 498. The property is legally described as Lot B, D.L. 188 & 498, Plan KAP ____, Lillooet District.

The subject property is designated Rural Residential in the Electoral Area C Official Community Plan and therefore a plan amendment is not required. One of the goals of the OCP is to maintain the rural character of the plan area but at the same time recognize that there is a limited supply of land for more residential development and a demand for a more rural lifestyle by some. By providing an opportunity for managed residential growth which is compatible with the area’s rural character, the OCP attempts to accommodate a modest population growth.

The subject property lies immediately adjacent to, but outside of, the Agricultural Land Reserve. A buffering plan which has been approved by the Agricultural Land Commission has been provided by the applicant to implement appropriate buffering between the residential subdivision and the adjacent land in the ALR. In addition, the applicant has provided a copy of the disclosure statement to be placed on title for the purpose of informing prospective buyers that the residential lots are adjacent to agricultural land.

Access to the property will be from Gilmore Road via Arn Road and Pemberton Meadows Road just north of Miller Creek. A private 6 m road across ALR land will provide access from Gilmore Road into the strata subdivision. Permission to cross ALR land has been granted by the Agricultural Land Commission.

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page44 of 117 This is Page 3 of the Minutes of a Public Hearing convened by the Regional Board of the Squamish- Lillooet Regional District, held on May 25, 2005 at 7:00 PM

Comprehensive geo-technical reports were completed for this development to assess the hazards with respect to flooding and debris flow from Miller Creek. As a result, extensive remedial work is being undertaken at the expense of the proponent to increase the set-back of the northern side of the dyke. The proposed approach to flood protection and sediment management developed on behalf of the proponents’ has been accepted by the Pemberton Valley Dyking District. The PVDD has also agreed to be the maintenance authority for the constructed works.

No lands have been designated for public trails or park, as the applicant has advised they wish to negotiate cash-in-lieu with respect to the required 5% park dedication. Dedication of park land of an amount and in a location acceptable to the local government may be made a condition of approval at the subdivision stage.

Applicants for rezoning should be aware that approval and adoption of a zoning amendment bylaw does not constitute approval for subdivision. If Bylaw 861 is approved the owners are given the right to subdivide, but they will still have to obtain a number of further approvals from outside agencies including the Ministry of Transportation, and the Health Authority.

The SLRD received two written comments with respect to Bylaw 861 and I will now read them into the record:

WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS

Pemberton Valley The Pemberton Valley Trails Association would like to comment on the Trails Association proposed subdivision of lands at Miller Creek.

We had several questions that were answered in a meeting on May 17, 2005 with Lisa Griffith and Rick Staehli; however, several others were raised.

We have two remaining concerns, firstly public access to public land beyond the proposed development. While the point has been made that there may be public benefits in not allowing or promoting access to upper Miller Creek, that is a separate issue and will depend on scientific studies of wildlife habitat, as well as the results of the LRMP and should include other public consultation on this issue.

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page45 of 117 This is Page 4 of the Minutes of a Public Hearing convened by the Regional Board of the Squamish- Lillooet Regional District, held on May 25, 2005 at 7:00 PM

We expressly reject the notion that EPCOR, or any private landowner, or group of landowners should be able to control public trail access to that area beyond the proposed development as Mr. Staehli suggested in our discussion. It is our belief that we must leave open the possibility of future non-motorized, public access to the crown land in the alpine area of Miller Creek.

The fact that there may be other properties in the area that may be able to provide future access should not be an issue with this proposal.

Secondly is the issue of the private property extending to the creek with no allowance for a trail, and no allowance for trails as part of the subdivision. Bylaw 734-2001, the Pemberton Valley Recreational Trails and Cycling Network Plan, notes in s. 2.D. that “opportunities for trails and greenways through the Pemberton Meadows should also be explored”, and further in 2.2.6 notes that “to designate trails and recreation sites when land is subdivided”.

We recognize that any trail along Miller Creek may not join with anything else for some time, but the allowance should be made now for that possibility. During subdivision is the only chance for this ever to happen, don’t do it now and it is lost forever.

Whenever adjacent land owners apply then the trail allowance could be extended and eventually form a pleasant public trail along a waterway. We also see this as a substantial amenity for those within the subdivision, to be able to walk, bike, or horseback ride along the creek would, to me, be an essential part of living in the community.

After going through the development of Bylaw 734 in 2001 we are very disappointed that public access and trails did not automatically happen as part of this rezoning application. We hope that we will not have to go through this for every application, but if that is what is required then that is what will happen. Signed, Rod MacLeod, Chair of the PVTA

Marie Ronayne I am strongly opposed to any further subdivisions on agricultural land in Pemberton. Building houses on a flood plain is not an industry, and is costing millions of dollars every time it floods. Farm land should be preserved and taken care of for future farming, not proposed for subdivisions so developers and realtors can make money.

PUBLIC Chair Gimse opened the floor for public comments. COMMENTS

Allen McEwan Mr. McEwan said he had known the proponent all his life, and the 7752 C Pemberton proponent had held the land for over fifty years. He said he had no

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page46 of 117 This is Page 5 of the Minutes of a Public Hearing convened by the Regional Board of the Squamish- Lillooet Regional District, held on May 25, 2005 at 7:00 PM

Meadows Road objections to the bylaw. We have to acknowledge that growth will happen. This property is not in the ALR, is private land, and the owner should be able to do what he wants with it.

In 2003 a significant portion of Mr. McEwen’s land was flooded, the proponents are now saddled with the cost of improving the dyking. This is an enormous cost, and an enormous benefit to the neighbouring properties. It is a big asset.

With respect to access and trails, his family has trapped for over 60 years and kept cattle in the Miller Creek meadows for over 40 years. There has never been public access. The creek has never stayed in the same place, it has moved around. The current lot lines are based on the creek’s position at the turn of the century. Private property is private. It is an offence to cross private land without permission of the owner, throughout the years he has gone to the land owners to seek permission.

Public access to crown land is available at the Ryan, just up the road. Also a Lizzie Bay logging road through the alpine.

He takes exception to the idea that the trails bylaw can be used to take property from private land owners. The biggest fear in the Meadows regarding the PVTA is that they will be demanding public access to private land. The PVTA has done excellent work in securing agreements with land owners, but if the proponent does not wish to cooperate, the private property should remain private.

When subdividing the provincial government demands a lot of concessions from the land owner. Now the local government will demand trails too. They need to be careful. The PVTA will lose the PR battle with landowners up the valley.

Director Gimse clarified that the Local Government Act is the legislative authority for acquiring 5% land or cash in lieu at time of subdivision, not the Trails Bylaw. The Trails bylaw simply identifies the areas where the community would like to see trails.

Randy Symons Mr. Symons stated that he has asked the land owners for access to Miller 8988 Pemberton Creek and was rudely denied. He stated that access should be ensured, Meadows Road and that he agrees with the PVTA letter.

Hilary Downing Ms. Downing identified herself as a member of PVTA. The PVTA is not 7567 Oberson Road trying to take over private land in the upper valley. When land is being subdivided to a size less than 5 acres, trails, parks or cash in lieu must be provided. If this opportunity is lost now, it will never happen. She said she is sure that’s how other jurisdictions have acquired land for trails, at

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page47 of 117 This is Page 6 of the Minutes of a Public Hearing convened by the Regional Board of the Squamish- Lillooet Regional District, held on May 25, 2005 at 7:00 PM

time of subdivision. She added that the trail would be an asset for the subdivision.

Jan Naylor Ms. Naylor read the following letter that she and Hugh Naylor had 7522 Urdal Road written:

We oppose the passing of Bylaw 861. A quick review of the relevant background documents pertaining to the proposed subdivision indicated to us no provision for public non-motorized access through the subdivision is provided. Public access to crown lands and waterways is in short supply in the Pemberton Valley. Subdivision applications provide a one shot opportunity to develop public trails and public green spaces. Both the OCP and the OCP amendment Bylaw No. 734 support the development of such trails.

Ch. 250, s. 73 of the Land Title Act, although difficult to apply specifically in the case of the proposed subdivision, is very clear in its intent, that being the right of the public to access public (Crown lands) spaces and waterfront.

I would suggest that a public non-motorized route be provided in the riparian zone on Miller Creek within the subdivision. While this trail may be dead end, given the current lot configurations, it does leave the door open to future trail linkages.

Riparian zones are particularly suited to minimal impact trail systems since the Fisheries Act does not permit any disturbance or development of the zone. Foot trails, however, are an acceptable use based on personal experience with such issues.

Presently, there are two gazetted rights of way providing undeveloped public access to the Miller Creek drainage. There must be some assurance on the part of the developer that they will remain public.

The temptation to somehow provide gated access to the backcountry available only to subdivision owners is there, and must not be a permitted option.

With current practices of IPP development, cattle grazing and logging in the Miller Creek watershed, to suggest that non-motorized recreational use of the uplands will disturb the pristine environment is simply not reasonable. As in any public land use issue, there are management problems to be addressed. Eliminating all public access is not an acceptable management tool.

In summary then, I urge the SLRD not to consider the rezoning

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page48 of 117 This is Page 7 of the Minutes of a Public Hearing convened by the Regional Board of the Squamish- Lillooet Regional District, held on May 25, 2005 at 7:00 PM

application until (1), a riparian trail easement within the subdivision is part of the subdivision plan and (2), there is assurance that the proponents will not oppose future linkages to the back country routes.

George Brooks Mr. Brooks asked about the private road leading to the development. He Portage Road asked if access could be restricted. Ms. Griffith advised that many strata properties had private roads. Mr. Brooks expressed his disappointment with the private road, as well as the lack of trail access.

Dave Hobson Mr. Hobson said he was concerned about the development of satellite 7596 Taylor Road communities so far away from Pemberton, especially one that might potentially be gated. He stated that he was opposed to the bylaw and the development, and that the proposal would increase traffic on Pemberton Meadows Road.

Sean Wolfe Mr. Wolfe said his interest was in the crown land beyond the subdivision. 1858 Reid Road He has also been turned around when seeking permission to cross private land to get to the alpine. He stated that subdivision is the perfect time to negotiate an easier arrangement for accessing the Miller Creek drainage. It should be open for public use.

Rick Staehli Mr. Staehli, one of the developers, said that people had been misinformed 1100 Arn Road about access. The road is private, paid for by Epcor. Epcor has an easement through his property. Even if you can get access across his property, you can’t use the road.

Jason Pospisil Mr. Pospisil said he formerly lived in the Meadows and was opposed to 1882 Reid Road residential development in the Pemberton Meadows, which is prime agricultural land.

Lisa Richardson Ms. Richardson said she opposes development in the Meadows. The Taylor Road Board needs to be careful about the way it is allowing these developments. Real estate in the valley is being marketed by Sotheby’s for millions of dollars. Clearly they are not marketing to farmers; farming is not feasible at these prices. If this is supported, the Board definitely needs to follow through on the public access. Public benefit needs to be ensured from the development, if the land’s use must change. She supports the PVTA position.

Sean Wolfe Mr. Wolfe asked what access existed before the Miller Creek IPP. He was 1858 Reid Road advised that there was a road approximately 7 km up the mountainside, which changed to a cattleman’s trail. Foot access only after the road ended (the entire distance is 16 km).

Craig Phillips Mr. Phillips expressed his opposition to the proposal. Once land is taken 7381 Laurel Street away, it can never be used for farmland. Pemberton is growing too fast

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page49 of 117 This is Page 8 of the Minutes of a Public Hearing convened by the Regional Board of the Squamish- Lillooet Regional District, held on May 25, 2005 at 7:00 PM

and needs to slow down.

Randy Symons Mr. Symons said he had no problem using the land for housing, if it is out 8988 Pemberton of the ALR. This piece of property is out of the ALR and is non-arable. Meadows

Rick Staehli Mr. Staehli stated that access was limited beyond Gilmore Road. The 1100 Arn Road road is gated. He also has a written contract with the tenure holders (such as heli ski operators) to keep the road private.

Mr. Staehli stated that his group was the first in the valley to have to build a new dyke to a new standard. The old dyke will be removed to give Miller Creek a wider floodway. Miller Creek runs east-west and blocks the Ryan and Lillooet from flooding the village. He stated that debris is the main issue with respect to flooding, and that they would be building a catch basin to catch the debris flow. It won’t protect his subdivision, but it will protect people living downstream. It is an expensive project, but a good idea.

Mr. Staehli stated that the adjacent property will become a gravel management area; a trail through it wouldn’t be a great amenity. The rest is ALR, and will never be subdivided; therefore any trail would never link up to anything. In the past they have had problems with public accessing the road. There have been parties, dogs chasing cattle, etc. He also noted that the area is now designated a grizzly bear habitat, so the local Conservation Officer would not want public access to the area.

Jan Naylor Ms. Naylor said that she had been up to the meadows many times (with 7522 Urdal Road permission). She feels heartsick that she can no longer go there. Look at the young people in the valley who won’t be able to access it. She said there are ways to manage the negatives, and she feels strongly that there should be some way to access the crown lands. She stated that if there was a trails function in this Regional District, there would be a solution.

Rod MacLeod Mr. MacLeod said that the PVTA was not asking for a road access, just 1485 Hemlock St. trail access. If there is a will to develop a trail, there would be a way. He added that 21 families will need places to walk and ride bikes. If suitable trails are not developed, all they will have is the highway. He said he understood Mr. McEwen’s point, but this spot has significance because it is waterfront. People will want to access the river’s edge. Surely 5% can be dedicated to parks/ trails within the subdivision.

Weldon Talbot Mr. Talbot, one of the proponents of the rezoning, stated that there is still 1105 Miller public access via the Ryan Creek road, past Strobl’s. It’s a longer road and shorter hike to the alpine.

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page50 of 117 This is Page 9 of the Minutes of a Public Hearing convened by the Regional Board of the Squamish- Lillooet Regional District, held on May 25, 2005 at 7:00 PM

Allen McEwan Mr. McEwan said that the Ryan access is ten times better than the access 7752 C Pemberton through the Talbot’s. Meadows

Randy Symons Mr. Symons suggested that an easement through the subdivision for trail Pemberton Meadows access might be supported by the land owners, and could be properly managed.

To: Regional Board

From: Steven Olmstead, Manager of Planning and Development

Date: June 16, 2005 REPORT Re: Amendment to Environmental Assessment to Accommodate S2S Highway Realignment at Black Tusk/Pinecrest Recommendation:

That the Environmental Assessment Office be advised that the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District strongly supports the “Option C” realignment of Highway 99 in the Black Tusk Village – Pinecrest Estates area as the realignment will address community concerns regarding safety, potential contamination of drinking water supply and noise impacts from the highway.

Voting Rules Who Votes: All; Count: Directors; Decision: Majority

Administrator’s Comments: I concur with the recommendation. PRE

Purpose:

To provide background information to the Environmental Assessment of the proposed revision to the Sea to Sky Highway upgrade in the Black Tusk/Pinecrest area.

Background:

Throughout the consultation process for the Sea to Sky Highway upgrade project, residents of Black Tusk Village and Pinecrest Estates, together with the Regional Board, have requested consideration of a realignment of Highway 99 to improve safety, to reduce the risk of contamination of the Retta Lake water supply and to mitigate noise impacts on the community from highway traffic. It was originally considered beyond the scope of the upgrade project to consider re-routing of the highway. However, the Ministry of Transportation has recently made application to the Environmental Assessment Office for an amendment to the Environmental Assessment Certificate to provide for construction of the “Option C” realignment which has the overwhelming support of the community. Relevant summary documents from the Ministry of Transportation and the Environmental Assessment Office together with a map outlining the proposed re-alignment are attached.

Respectfully submitted,

Steven Olmstead Manager of Planning and Development

Pinecrest Estates/Black Tusk Highway Alignment Revision Environmental Assessment Report

Executive Summary The environmental Application for the Sea-to-Sky Highway Improvement Project, dated August 2003, presented on-alignment highway improvements in the vicinity of Pinecrest Estates/Black Tusk residential communities, including widening to 3 lanes. Environmental Assessment Certificate T04-01 was issued for the Sea-to-Sky Highway Improvement Project (the ‘Project’) th pursuant to the Environmental Assessment Act on June 4 , 2004 and a federal screening decision was issued June 10, 2004. Table 1, Owner’s Commitments and Responsibilities, dated May 18, 2004, included the obligation for the Ministry of Transportation (the ‘MoT’) to continue to consult with the corridor communities and Community Advisory Groups subsequent to Project Certification by the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office (EAO). Consultation with the Pinecrest/Black Tusk communities revealed continued concern with respect to safety, noise and impacts to water quality of Retta Lake– the Pinecrest community potable water supply. In response to these concerns the MoT initiated safety, engineering, environmental (fisheries, wildlife, hydrology and vegetation) and socio-community (recreation, archaeology and noise) evaluations of three 3-lane alignment options through this area in the summer of 2004. The three options were: . • improve the existing highway on-alignment (the Certified alignment); . • improve the existing highway by shifting the alignment east; and . • provide a new, off-highway alignment up to 300m to the east approximately 2km long, while maintaining the existing highway as a frontage road for the communities (Option C).

The results of the safety analysis concluded that, by consolidating the existing Pinecrest Estates/Black Tusk accesses and using the existing highway as a frontage road, the off- highway improvement (Option ‘C’) has significant safety benefits. The study also found that the Option C alternative has the highest benefit to cost ratio and that the incremental cost over a 25 year period was marginal.

Assessment of Option C determined that there are no environmental issues or concerns that cannot be mitigated through design. There are no recreational areas within the Project area or known archaeological resources that might be impacted with Option C. These findings were referred to Environment Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and BC Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection in a submission dated February 9, 2005. Written responses from these agencies indicate that there are no regulatory issues that would preclude construction of Option C. In addition, the results of an archaeological impact assessment concluded that the likelihood of encountering cultural resources is remote. Written response from the Archaeology and Registry Service Branch support these findings. Representatives of the Squamish and Lil’wat Nations participated in the AIA study and the MoT will initiate further consultation concurrently with the EAO review of this report.

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page53 of 117 - 3 -

The MoT participated in several Pinecrest Estates/Black Tusk Community Advisory Group th meetings. In addition, a public open house was held on November 7 , 2004 to consult on the options. There were approximately 220 participants in the consultation and over 96% expressed a preference for Option C. From a community perspective, Option C is strongly supported because it will improve safety by changing the access/egress from the highway, protect their water source at Retta Lake from risk of contamination from accident related spills off the highway and reduce current highway-related noise levels in their communities.

Condition 4 of the Environmental Assessment Certificate T04-01 describes the process by which a change to the design, location, and construction of the Project within a work package is subject to review by the Executive Director, Environmental Assessment Office. This report provides the rationale and justification for construction of the Pinecrest ‘Option C’ realignment, as well as an assessment of potential environmental effects. Design and construction of the 2 km long highway realignment will include specific mitigation measures, as described in this report, that will ensure that there are no significant adverse effects as a result of this design change. The May 18, 2004 Table of Owner’s Commitments and Responsibilities, as condition of the Certificate, will be applied to this highway realignment.

PINECREST ESTATES/BLACK TUSK HIGHWAY ALIGNMENT REVISION

REVIEW OF REQUEST FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT CERTIFICATE FOR THE SEA-TO-SKY HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT

Background

Environmental Assessment Certificate T04-01 for the Sea-to-Sky Highway Improvement Project (Project) requires that if MoT proposes a material change to the Project that, in the opinion of the Executive Director, has the potential for significant adverse effects, MoT must provide the Executive Director with: a) an application in writing to amend the Certificate pursuant to s.19(1) of the Act; and, b) plans, analysis, records and other information necessary for an effective assessment by the Executive Director of the potential impacts of the proposed change.

Since MoT received an Environmental Assessment Certificate for the Project, it has continued a dialogue with residents of the Pinecrest Estates/Black Tusk area in response to community concerns about Project impacts to access and egress, public safety and the local water supply from Retta Lake. After further consultation and design work, MoT identified other alignment options for the Pinecrest Estates/Black Tusk area and presented these options to the communities at an open house in November 2004.

The MoT reports that a majority of the Pinecrest Estates/Black Tusk residents support a realignment option (known as Option C) that shifts the highway away from Retta Lake. Option C provides a new stretch of 2 kilometre off- highway alignment approximately 300 metres east of the existing alignment. The existing highway would become a frontage road.

MoT wishes to construct Option C. This would be a material change to the Project and therefore MoT must apply to the Executive Director for an amendment to Environmental Assessment Certificate T04-01.

Process

The MoT will provide the EAO with a Highway Alignment Revision Report (Report) that includes the rationale and justification for the realignment and presents an environmental assessment of potential environmental effects and proposed mitigation measures. The Report will consist of a narrative section (electronic document) and a 1:1500 scale terrestrial map (paper document).

The EAO will distribute the Report in electronic form to reviewers, First Nations and the appropriate local governments for comment. The MoT will distribute paper copies of the map. Reviewers will have up to 21 days to comment on the report and the EAO will, during this period, convene a meeting for reviewers that includes a presentation by the MoT of the proposed changes.

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page55 of 117 - 5 - -2-

If reviewers identify further issues that are within the scope of the assessment, EAO will ask MoT to respond to these issues in writing similar to the process followed during the review of MoT’s original environmental assessment application.

The amendment review process will not include a public comment period because the MoT has developed the realignment in consultation with the local communities and the Pinecrest Estates/Black Tusk Community Advisory Group has written to the EAO to express their support for the revised alignment.

Decision

The Executive Director will decide whether to approve an amendment and may include conditions if the request for an amendment is approved.

From: Kevin Creery, Planning Research Clerk

REPORT Date: June 14, 2005

Re: Highway Classifications within the Squamish Lillooet Regional District

Recommendation:

THAT the report on Highway Classifications from the Planning Research Clerk be received for information.

Voting Rules Who Votes: All; Count: Directors; Decision: Majority

Administrator’s Comments: I concur with the recommendation PRE

Purpose:

To provide information to the Regional Board regarding Ministry of Transportation highway classifications within the SLRD.

Background:

As a reminder, at the regular meeting of the SLRD Board January 31, 2005, the following resolution was made:

THAT staff investigate and report on highway classifications throughout the region.

Planning staff conducted research on road classification within the SLRD, through correspondence with the Ministry of Transportation. The following information was obtained:

Road classification designates the kinds and levels of maintenance services to be provided according to the amount and type of service the highway is expected to provide, and for each individual highway or portion of highway is the class which the province’s records designate, and as may be amended from time to time by the Province. The summer classification is generally based on, but not limited to, the following:

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page58 of 117

Summer Classification - A.D.T. (average daily traffic)

Class Vehicles per Day 1 over 10, 000 2 5000-10000 3 1000-5000 4 500-1000 5 100-500 6 10-100 7 0-10 8 a Highway, typically without a constructed road but for which maintenance responsibilities exist for such things as danger tree removal and drainage, and which may also have other improvements to maintain such as pedestrian and bicycle paths. *Roads Classed 6 or 7 with heavy industrial use will be increased by one Class on the Road Features Inventory

And, Winter Classification is generally based on but not limited to the following:

Winter Classification

Class Definition A High volume traffic (over 5000 winter average daily traffic count) or commuter routes and certain Expressways and Freeways through mountain passes, as determined by the Province. Very high volume ski hill and commuter routes.

B All trunk and main routes (or portion thereof as designated by the Province) not included in Class A, with a cut-off where traffic drops below 1000 winter average daily traffic count. Lower volume ski hill and commuter routes.

C All school bus routes and industrial (truck) traffic routes (more than 25% trucks) not included in Class A and B

D All other regularly maintained winter routes

E All other irregularly maintained winter routes

F Roads not maintained in the winter, or not open, or not maintained by the Minister.

Determination of Class will be at the sole discretion of the Minister. The Minister may, from time to time, change the Class of a Highway dependent upon other factors than indicated in this definition.

During routine contract services the contractor ensures optimum proactive service to local stakeholders including but not limited to, local industries (forestry, mining, oil and gas), the RCMP, local and regional governments, key commuters and school buses. The routes used

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page59 of 117 by these stakeholders are to receive priority service, in the allocation of resources to their road classifications, and specific to their individual needs;

Planning Department Comments:

To summarize, the following information is of particular importance:

Highway Classes for specific routes: Road Classification* Hwy 99: Horseshoe Bay to Squamish Class 1A Hwy 99: Squamish to Whistler Class 2 A Hwy 99: Whistler to Pemberton Class 3 A Pemberton to Lillooet (Duffy) Class 4 C Lillooet to junction of Highway 97 Class 3 B Road 40: Lillooet to Gold Bridge Class 3 B Hwy 12: Lillooet to Lytton Class 3 B Mission Mtn Rd to Seton Portage Class 5 C * Information provided by the Ministry of Transportation

• Forest Service Roads are the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Forests and are not included in Ministry of Transportation classifications (i.e. Hurley & In-shuck-ch) • Letter sent to the Ministry of Transportation March 3, 2005 to request to extend Class B status to Portage Road from Owl Ridge to D’Arcy. • Highline/Douglas Trail is an unclassified BC Hydro Road. • School Bus routes are considered Winter Class C routes if not included in Class A or B

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page64Page 1 of 117 DRAFT Document for Discussion at Elected Officials Forum, June 2005

Therefore the Parties hereby mutually agree as follows:

1. PURPOSE The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is to guide decision- making on key regional issues until the Regional Growth Strategy is adopted. The Parties agree to consider the principles set out in this MOU when deliberating on land use and other matters of regional significance.

2. TERM This MOU shall serve until such time as a Regional Growth Strategy has been accepted by the affected local governments and adopted by the Board of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District, at which time the MOU shall expire. Adoption of the Regional Growth Strategy is contemplated to occur by the end of 2006. If the Regional Growth Strategy is not completed by this time, the Parties agree to review the MOU and amend it as necessary.

3. PRINCIPLES The Parties agree that although many issues have been identified as regionally significant, decision-making with respect to the following five regionally significant issues will occur based upon the principles described in this MOU.

A. Land Use

The Parties endorse the attached principles of Smart Growth and Sustainability for the preparation of the Regional Growth Strategy (see Schedule A). The regional growth approach will focus on containment or Urban areas or nodes of development within existing and planned communities. Smart Growth principles and the desire for compact communities with accessible public spaces and complete services will be the basis for land use planning. The following principles shall guide decision-making with respect to Land Use until adoption of the Regional Growth Strategy: i) New Urban settlement should be located within existing Urban communities (defined as “settlements with a full range of municipal services [e.g., sewer, water, fire protection, building inspection, and recreation facilities”]). Settlements outside of existing Urban communities should only be considered where there is clear support for such development in adopted Official Community Plans, or other growth management policies, or Official Community Plans currently in preparation or under review as of the date of this agreement. ii) Except as provided for in clause i) above, existing Non-urban communities should retain their Non-urban character. iii) Except as provided for in clause i) above, existing Non-settlement areas should remain as such. Settlement should be discouraged in existing areas used for agriculture, forest management, timber-harvesting, public and commercial backcountry recreation, and other resource activities. SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page65Page 2 of 117 DRAFT Document for Discussion at Elected Officials Forum, June 2005

iv) Within existing communities, Smart Growth shall be practiced to conserve open space regionally addressing the need for sustainable land use that will protect the region’s natural environment and cultural heritage; v) Within existing communities, Smart Growth shall be practiced to reduce the threat to farm and rangeland; vi) During preparation of the Regional Growth Strategy, Official Community Plans should be consistent with Smart Growth Principles (see Schedule 1).

B. Transportation

The following principles shall guide decision making with respect to Transportation until adoption of the Regional Growth Strategy: i) The Smart Growth principle of promoting a variety of low impact transportation options to the car and a Transportation Demand Management (TDM), multi- modal approach shall be applied to corridor challenges. ii) The Parties will support efforts to improve safety of roads that connect rural communities (e.g. the Hurley FSR, In-Shuck-CH FSR, Highway 40, and the Highline Road).

C. Affordable Housing

The following principle shall guide decision making with respect to Affordable Housing until adoption of the Regional Growth Strategy:

i) The Parties are encouraged to seek a balance of jobs and housing within each community, and secure a supply of housing that remains affordable for local employees and residents over the long-term through effective means such as zoning for secondary suites, deed-restricted price, resale and rent controls.

D. Economic Development

The following principle shall guide decision making with respect to Economic Development until adoption of the Regional Growth Strategy: i) The Parties will be supportive of opportunities to foster economic development throughout the regional district where social, economic, environmental, and community values are addressed in a balanced and sustainable manner.

E. First Nations Consultation

The Parties recognize that First Nations in the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District have asserted within their traditional territories aboriginal rights and title.

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page66Page 3 of 117 DRAFT Document for Discussion at Elected Officials Forum, June 2005

The following principle shall guide decision making with respect to consultation with First Nations until adoption of the Regional Growth Strategy: i) Consultation with First Nations and the development of the Regional Growth Strategy shall proceed without prejudice to any aboriginal rights or title that may currently exist, or be further defined through treaty or other processes.

4. REQUEST FOR REVIEW Any Party may request a review of the content and meaning of the MOU by giving 30 days notice to each of the other Parties.

Schedule B

Explanation of Terms

For the purposes of this MOU:

Community means an identifiable or distinct settlement of people, living and interacting with one another in a defined geographic area, who may share a common culture, values and norms and similar environmental conditions.

Settlement means an area of predominantly residential use at varying densities. These may be either Urban or Non-urban.

Urban means a closely built up settlement characterized by buildings, asphalt, concrete, and a systematic street pattern within an incorporated municipality. Urban areas include residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, communications, utilities, and mixed urban land uses. Undeveloped land completely surrounded by developed areas, such as cemeteries, golf courses, and urban parks is recognized within urban areas. The extent of urban areas is determined by the existence of a dense systematic street pattern and the relative concentration of buildings.

Non-urban includes any unincorporated or incorporated settlement area that is not urban, and includes small Rural Communities, Serviced Residential areas and Rural Residential areas.

Rural Communities means settlements that are closely built up, with a mix of land uses, community water and sewer systems, and a systematic street pattern. Rural Communities generally have a population of less than 1,000 people.

Serviced Residential means a settlement that contains primarily residential uses serviced by community water and/or sewer systems.

Rural Residential means a settlement that contains dispersed residential uses usually on small acreage parcels which are not serviced by community water or sewer services.

Non-settlement means an area predominantly used for agriculture, rangeland, forestry, outdoor recreation or resource extraction uses or areas of undisturbed natural environments. Non-settlement areas are characterized by some sparse settlement and localized, historic subdivisions and large areas of unsurveyed Crown land. Parcel areas are generally greater than 15 hectares (40 acres) in non-settlement areas.

Neighbourhood means a local, identifiable area within a settlement area, either Urban or Non-urban, which has some quality or character which distinguishes it from other areas.

Note: For the purposes of this MOU, political boundaries, such as municipal limits, are not used to define urban limits.

Recommendation: THAT Cascade Environmental Resource Group be awarded the contract to prepare the Sea to Sky Trail Master Plan.

Administrator’s Comments: Concur with recommendation. PRE

Background: The Sea to Sky Trail Committee met on June 16 in order to interview the four short-listed applicants for the Sea to Sky Trail master plan project (request for proposals attached). The committee has recommended that the contract to go to Cascade Environmental Resource Group Ltd. A Board resolution is required to confirm the awarding of the contract.

Allison Macdonald Manager of Administrative Services

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page72 of 117 1 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS SEA TO SKY TRAIL MASTER PLANNING SERVICES

Introduction

The Sea to Sky Trail Steering Committee invites proposals from qualified consultants for the preparation of a trail master plan.

The Sea to Sky Trail will be a regional trail, stretching from Squamish to D’Arcy, B.C. The project is envisioned as a multi-use recreational trail for cyclists, pedestrians, equestrians and, potentially, cross country skiers. The character of the trail will be a flowing, non-technical mountain bike ride over a 1.0 to 2.0-metre wide gravel trail. The route will include sections of existing trails, of various types, in the municipalities of Squamish, Whistler, Pemberton and the Squamish – Lillooet Regional District. The trail will be approximately 150 kilometres long. It will be built to appeal to local and regional trail riders, and will be a destination attraction for trail ride tourism.

The Master Plan

The purpose of the Master Plan is to assess the feasibility of the trail and to guide its implementation if a decision is made to proceed with construction. The plan is intended to inform and inspire readers as to the possibilities of a regional, destination trail. In this respect, the Sea to Sky Steering Committee will use the plan document in describing the potential of the trail to governments, agencies, sponsors and the public.

The plan is also envisioned as a section-by-section guide that describes route options; tenure options and context in a form that will be useful for the basis of trail development.

Without limiting the consultants proposed approach, it should be noted that the steering committee has considerable knowledge of the trail route, options and means to develop trails. The consultant will be able to rely on this resource, in addition to their own research and field reviews.

Project Management

The concept of the trail has been adopted in principle by the Board of the Squamish – Lillooet Regional District (SLRD), as well as by the Councils of the member municipalities of Squamish, Whistler, and Pemberton.

A Steering Committee has been established by the SLRD that includes elected officials, municipal staff and volunteers from the Sea to Sky Trail Society. This Committee will serve as Client for the project. A project manager will be appointed by this group to supervise and assist the consultant’s work.

SLRD Regular Agenda, June 27, 2005 Page73 of 117

Scope of Work

1. Based on existing sources, the master plan consultant is expected to provide information that generally addresses the following:

- Benefits and issues associated with regional trail precedents, including the means by which communities optimized the economic benefits of trail development; - Means to acquire or secure tenure to trail routes; - Funding opportunities; - Risk management.

2. Based on existing municipal information and best practices in trail development, the consultant is to include guidelines on the form and character of the trail, so that the various trail components feel part of a whole concept. The trail treatments and guidelines should be generalized as prototypes. The Client will provide the unit cost of trail treatments.

3. The consultant should work with Committee members to assess and determine the character areas that make up the trail route. The character areas will be used in the section-by-section description of the trail.

4. The consultant is to provide a section-by-section description of the trail. These descriptions are seen as consistently formatted pages that each address:

- The location and length of the section; - landscape character that make the section distinct from adjacent sections; - preferred route and route options; - physical barriers and conditions that will principally influence trail development; - land ownership and tenure (from municipal and SLRD map information); - proposed trail treatment and associated cost.

Deliverables

The background information, trail treatment guidelines and the section-by-section descriptions should be formatted to be printed as a bound report. The consultant is expected to provide one printed copy and digital files.

Budget

The total budget available for the master plan, excluding goods and services tax, is $23,000.00. This is to include consultant fees and expenses, including travel. The Client will be responsible for printing copies of the master plan document, beyond the cost of the original bound report.
