Re: SLRD Contribution to BC Nature AGM and events at Lillooet BC, May 4 ~ 7, 2017
Please accept our appreciationto the SLRD for the contributionto our events in Lillooet. Your contributionhelped us feel financially secure early in the planning and registration process and assisted in the costs for the catering of the lunch at Xwisten, where we held presentationsand our AGM.
We acknowledged the SLRD at the beginning of meetings and before the lunch meal in particular -— you received a large round of applause.
The SLRD was also recognized on our map of the area that all the participantsreceived ~ copy enclosed. We are also enclosing a copy of the itinerary and a summary report.

gMay4 —— 6, 2017 REPORT to BC Nature and funders The Lillooet Naturalists hosted the BC Nature AGM and events in the beauti?il Fraser canyon and mountains in Lillooet May, 2017. Our AGM and conference itinerary featured hikes and walks, birding and bats, St’at’imc cultural tours, natural history presentations, a tour of our restoration work and native plant nursery, ethnobotany, a geology outing, wild?owers, an organic farm tour, a train
, . - , . . trip (that turned out to be a very scenic , , S S »_ , V Z F if S ’ ‘
F < J — N of 3" bus trip), and more. Final registration was 158, with guests, Volunteers and presenters swelling that number to 200 for the Saturday dinner, awards and presentations. We were pleased that our Mayor joined us for a number of the events.
Financial support for our activities was received from the Squamish Lillooet Regional District, our MLA, Interior Savings Credit Union, the Lillooet Foundation and BC Hydro’s Fish and
Wildlife Compensation Program — these contributions kept us in the black and meant we could reimburse presenters and acknowledge Volunteers generously. Thousands of hours of volunteer time went into the event and the community was supportive from the get—go. Feedback from the participants was very positive overall and noted the friendliness and hospitality of Lillooet. Local artisans donated items for the raf?e and we added an Echo Meter Touch bat detector to sweeten the pot. Pro?ts from the event are shared between the Lillooet Naturalist Society and BC Nature and go into funds for ongoing education and conservation activities.
Weather was inclement, and road closures and slides delayed some visitors and cancelled the train trip. But participants enjoyed all the outings regardless. Penstemon, Saskatoons and Arrow-leaved Balsamroot were in bloom and birds and animals were displaying, as they do in season, and visitors had opportunities to view them during their outings with our local experts.

A bat ?ew into Splitrock while we were talking bats and a Garter snake graced a Mock Orange bush for all to see on the Splitrock tour. A Curlew was seen on the back country birding outing and Western Screech owls and Spotted bats were heard in the evening after dark.
A yoga class was offered for the participants and the Museum and Visitor Centre and the historic Miyazaki House extended their hours. The District and Chamber were supportive and the Beauti?cation Committee got busy on the banners and ?ower pots before the event. Presentations were held on butter?ies and moths, fishers, grasslands and Wolverines. Local photographer Ian Routley wound up the events with a slide show celebrating our biodiversity and beautiful natural landscapes.
Local catering featured as much Lillooet grown organic food as possible. First Nations culture was woven into many of the events and we enjoyed a traditional welcoming at our meetings at Xwisten. Elder Bill Machell at T'it'q'et got the fire going in the winter house and visitors joined him there for that experience. First Nation guides joined many of the outings to lend their cultural expertise. We had all our knowledgeable naturalists on duty as well. Participants noted in their feedback that they very much appreciated this local expertise on their outings and that our passion for our ‘place’ was evident throughout.
Conservation Officer Bob Butcher and Vivian met with the Foundation Committee regarding the Sturgeon project, funded in part by the BC Nature Foundation.

PURPOSE:
To provide the SLRD Board with information about a rezoning application made by the Britannia Beach Oceanfront Developments Corporation (BODC). The applicant proposes to rezone 4.091 ha (10.11 acres) of land at the townsite at Britannia Beach with the intention of revitalizing the area through a mixed residential and commercial development. Appendix 1 shows the general location of the proposed development.
Page 34 of 124 Request for Decision - Britannia Oceanfront Developments Cor...
REQUEST FOR DECISION – BRITANNIA OCEANFRONT DEVELOPMENTS CORP REZONING AND OCP AMENDMENT APPLICATION
KEY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 24, 2017, the SLRD received an application for a zoning and OCP amendment for land located at the entry to Britannia Beach North at Copper Drive and Highway 99, across from the B.C. Mining Museum. The application is for a mixed use development, including 82 residential units, 436 m2 (4,693 sq.ft) of new commercial space, 2,605 m2 (28,040 sq.ft.) of existing commercial space, a total of 278 parking spaces, a bus lay-by, flood protection, site landscaping and restoration.
The current site includes a number of “heritage” buildings that are in various forms of use, with some buildings in better condition than others. The buildings are not registered as heritage buildings, however they are historical in nature and represent the early development of Britannia Beach. The application proposes to preserve 12 of these “heritage” buildings. These existing buildings will need to be moved from their current locations and as part of the development, they will be re-sited on the property.
The proposal includes a piece of Crown Land that was previously owned by Macdonald Development Corporation (see Appendix 1 for property ownership details). As part of this application, the Crown has granted Britannia Oceanfront Developments Corporation (a subsidiary of Macdonald Development Corporation) to act on its behalf with respect to rezoning the Crown Land. BODC intends to buy the land back from the Crown for inclusion in this application. The Crown has granted BODC the authority to act on its behalf for this rezoning application. Also of note, the SLRD has a tenure over a portion of the Crown Land for use as a solid waste collection facility. The status of this tenure with respect to this application and the future location of this facility has yet to be determined.
The property was previously subject to a rezoning application (applied for in 2008) however, this application stalled due to complications to do with the floodproofing of the site. The applicant has now been able to provide engineering studies that support the proposed planning of the site with respect to flood control.
The proposed flood control regime proposes that the site be re-graded to a higher elevation. Under a separate application, the applicants received a soil deposit permit in order to deposit structural soil on the site.
The soil deposit permit can be viewed here: http://www.slrd.bc.ca/sites/default/files/pdfs/permits/SP04_BritanniaOceanfrontCorp_permit.pdf

RELEVANT POLICIES:
Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) designation:
The RGS includes a number of goals relating to the development of the SLRD. Goal 1 is to “Focus Development into Compact, Complete, Sustainable Communities”. In this section of the RGS, it is noted that: “Population growth and settlement development will be primarily directed to compact Urban Areas and Master Planned Communities on the basis of smart growth principles. New urban communities will not be considered outside of the established settlement areas.” The RGS goes on to note: “Compact, complete, sustainable communities will be achieved by: Promoting more Complete Communities – Providing for a mix of land uses in community development, particularly at Porteau Cove, Furry Creek and Britannia Beach, to enhance the potential for more integrated, complete communities.”.
The land that is subject to this application for rezoning and OCP amendment is currently designated as follows: Map 1 “The RGS Regional Settlement Map” and Map 1E “The Howe Sound Settlement Planning Map” identify the subject lands at Britannia Beach North as “Master Planned Community” along with the Britannia Beach South, Furry Creek and Porteau Cove communities. The Strategic Directions relating to Goal 1 (s.1.1 c)) include: “Master‐planned communities refers to larger scale developments that are planned on a comprehensive basis within the defined boundaries of Britannia Beach, Furry Creek and Porteau Cove, as shown on the Regional Settlement Planning Map and the Howe Sound Settlement Planning Map 1e. Significant future growth will be accommodated in these communities. The objective for these areas is to encourage compact, clustered residential and local commercial, mixed use developments with distinct edges and full community water and sewer services.”
It should be noted that the RGS does not specify densities or unit allocations, rather, it defers to the various OCP and zoning bylaws to provide the regulatory details in order to achieve the RGS vision.
Electoral Area D Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1135-2013:
The relevant aspects of the Area D OCP are described as follows. The Howe Sound East Sub- Area Plan Map C generally designates the portion of the subject land that is owned by the Crown as “Open Space” and the land owned by Britannia Oceanfront Development Corporation as “Floodplain Management”. As part of this application, the OPC will need to be amended to reflect the residential and commercial uses being proposed on the land.
The Area D OCP anticipates that the total number of units at Britannia Beach will be in the range of 1,650‐2,000 units at build‐out, with approximately 800 to 1,000 units allocated to Britannia North (approximately 250 units will ultimately be constructed as part of the MacDonald Development subdivision at Britannia North) and 850 to 1,000 units at Britannia South (where the Taicheng application is located).

REQUEST FOR DECISION – BRITANNIA OCEANFRONT DEVELOPMENTS CORP REZONING AND OCP AMENDMENT APPLICATION
Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Electoral Area D Zoning Bylaw No. 1350-2016:
Current Zoning designations: The Area D Zoning Bylaw establishes the subject lands as RR3 zone. In the RR3 Zone the use of land, buildings and structures is restricted to:
• agriculture, excluding intensive agriculture • forestry practices, including silviculture and harvesting, but not including processing or manufacturing • aggregate extraction, but not including processing or manufacturing • operation of a temporary portable sawmill if at least 50% of the volume of the timber is harvested from the parcel on which the sawmill is located • single family dwelling • secondary suite • bed and breakfast • home office • home craft • accessory buildings and accessory uses
BODC is proposing a comprehensive development zone that is intended to be tailored specifically to their development. Appendix 2 shows the proposed project layout and images. The zoning would ultimately be tied to a comprehensive development agreement that would stipulate project deliverables, timing, and phasing of infrastructure. Some of the uses that have been proposed by BODC include:
‐ Commercial (retail, restaurant, services, etc.) ‐ Residential ‐ Community Centre - Day care - Gym facility - Park and trail
ANALYSIS:
While this application is in early stages of review, there is some relevant information that can be provided to the Board at this time. This information is presented under the following categories:
Transportation
Traffic Study The applicant submitted a traffic study prepared by Bunt & Associates, Transportation Planners and Engineers. The traffic study was dated May 17, 2016 and was based on a fewer residential units (64 units versus the 82 units now proposed). The applicant will need to get this study updated to reflect the proposed development. The study noted that the left turn bypass would function acceptably, but noted that the merge and taper areas on Highway 99 should be further reviewed to ensure that the left turn lane does not slow down vehicles. The applicant will be
4
Page 37 of 124 Request for Decision - Britannia Oceanfront Developments Cor...
REQUEST FOR DECISION – BRITANNIA OCEANFRONT DEVELOPMENTS CORP REZONING AND OCP AMENDMENT APPLICATION
requested to update the traffic study to address this issue and to reflect the current application numbers.
Parking Parking and site circulation will be addressed as part of the full application review. It appears that the site can support the required number of parking spaces.
Housing and Affordability
The applicant is proposing 82 residential units in the following formats:
# of Units Market for-purchase 58 townhomes Live/work for-purchase units 13 Rental residential apartments 11 TOTAL UNITS 82
The rental units are all under 67 m2 (~720 sq.ft) which may provide some affordability. The applicant has not indicated how these units are to remain affordable in perpetuity or if any covenants are being considered with respect to usage and rental costs. Please see Attachment 3 - Applicant’s description of rezoning application, for more information as to these units.
Commercial Development
The applicant is proposing to retain and refurbish 12 of the “heritage” buildings on the site. Only 436 m2 (~4693 sq.ft) of new commercial space is being proposed. The rest of the commercial space (2,605 m2 or ~28,040 sq.ft.) will be provided from the existing structures which will be re- sited on the property.
While no tenants have been finalized at this time, it is anticipated that the commercial development will include a variety of retail tenants, restaurants, cafes and services geared to serving the neighbourhood as well as the travelling public. No tourist accommodation is proposed at the site.
The site will be subject to a development permit for form and character to ensure that the final construction is in keeping with any development approvals.
Environmental Protection
The subject land is located alongside Britannia Creek. There is an existing path along Britannia Creek. The site will be re-graded and the path will be maintained, albeit at a higher elevation. A full review of environmental setbacks will be required as this review proceeds. In addition, there may be tidal surge elevations set by the Province with respect to rising sea levels. Any such requirements will be addressed through the review process.
The applicant has noted in their application package that any environmental contaminants associated with the site will be capped through the application of clean fill material which will allow for significant landscaping to occur.
5
Page 38 of 124 Request for Decision - Britannia Oceanfront Developments Cor...
REQUEST FOR DECISION – BRITANNIA OCEANFRONT DEVELOPMENTS CORP REZONING AND OCP AMENDMENT APPLICATION
In addition, the applicant has noted that the preservation of the many existing buildings on the site is a form of environmental protection. They note that through preserving many of the buildings on site, there will be less landfill produced than if the buildings were to be demolished.
Floodproofing and Debris flow protection
Any approval of this application will be subject to final sign off by the Province with respect to the proposed flood works. The applicant’s engineers, Kerr Wood Leidal (KWL), submitted a report entitled “Proposed Flood Mitigation Strategy” in which they outline their proposed design criteria for flood hazard mitigation. The study looks at debris floods, creek floods and coastal floods and outlines an approach for addressing these risks.
For debris floods, KWL is recommending: - an engineered debris net above upper Copper Drive bridge; - creek works on the Britannia Creek fan; and - site grading and building design measures in the redevelopment area.
KWL is suggesting maintenance responsibilities as follows: - SLRD as the overall maintenance authority and responsible for overseeing the Operations and Maintenance (O+M) manual; - SLRD responsible for maintaining the debris net; - SLRD responsible for bedload monitoring in the channel below lower Copper Drive and periodic bedload removal as required; - SLRD responsible for periodic inspection and repair of the creek banks below lower Copper Drive; - The property owners would be responsible for periodic inspection and repair of riprap armouring of the structural fill slope; and - The property owners would be responsible for any necessary inspection and repairs within the development area. - Tunnel Dam (now partially decommissioned) would need to have an agency assigned to maintenance responsibility (most likely the Province of BC). - The SLRD would also need to accept the risk of a high mobility large rock avalanche hazard (1:12,000 year annual probability). It is an mitigatable risk and outside of the probability range considered for land development in BC (usually 1:10,000) and there are currently no quantitative risk acceptance criteria for landslides in any legal documents in BC. The SLRD would need to make a policy decision to accept the risk and require “save harmless” covenants.
As noted by KWL, any maintenance authorities would need to be provided details of their responsibilities prior to accepting responsibility. If the SLRD accepts the proposed flood hazard mitigation strategy as outlined in the KWL report, and pending the completion of a detailed design submission, KWL would certify that the proposed redevelopment was “safe for the intended use”. “For this purpose, “safe” would be defined as the redevelopment being protected against potential loss of life within the bounds of the redevelopment for the accepted design criteria for flood and debris flood (including landslide dam outbreak flood) hazard mitigation. Such certification would be subject to internal and external peer review.”

REQUEST FOR DECISION – BRITANNIA OCEANFRONT DEVELOPMENTS CORP REZONING AND OCP AMENDMENT APPLICATION
The applicant, in an email to the SLRD, notes that the benefits that the access and debris net would provide are: 1) Protect the Britannia Fire Hall; 2) Protect the 2 downstream lot owners from debris floods; 3) Protect three Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure bridges, 2 of which carry SLRD infrastructure, the other being an integral part in moving commuters through the Sea to Sky corridor; 4) Protect the, community, potable water source and treatment facilities; 5) Protect the CN Rail bridge; and 6) Mitigate the risk for existing and future development on the fan, including the Mining Museum.
Further information with respect to the proposed floodproofing regime will be brought to the Board as this review progresses. It should be noted that at the May 24 and 25, 2017 SLRD Board meeting, the Board made the following resolution:
THAT the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) support in principle the construction of the debris net structure by Britannia Oceanfront Developments Corporation on Britannia Creek, conditional upon the SLRD not being the owner of, nor responsible for maintenance of, the debris net structure.
Heritage Preservation
The application proposes to retain 12 “heritage” buildings on the property. The buildings are to be ugraded and moved to more suitable locations on the property, and complemented by infilled new buildings. The applicants intend to use descriptive signage on each building to tell the building’s history. A Heritage Revitalization Agreement is proposed in order to address certain Building Code complications so that these old buildings can be retained without the need to adhere to the current BC Building Code.
Community Amenity Contributions
The applicant proposes the following as community amenity contributions, as described more fully by the applicant in their submission, attached as Appendix 3: - completion of the Britannia townsite; - preservation of the old “heritage” village structures; - incorporation of 11 rental units; - provision of a building for use as a daycare and a favourable rent structure (no details have been worked out as to how this would work); - provision of a building for use as a fitness centre (no details have been worked out as to how this would work); - upgrading of the community hall for use by the community. The applicant proposes to add an elevator to the community hall, upgrade the porch, add sprinklers and updated fixtures. The applicant has stated that the community hall would be operated by the
7
Page 40 of 124 Request for Decision - Britannia Oceanfront Developments Cor...
REQUEST FOR DECISION – BRITANNIA OCEANFRONT DEVELOPMENTS CORP REZONING AND OCP AMENDMENT APPLICATION
Britannia Beach Community Association (no details have been worked out as to how this would work); - a children’s play area and community garden are proposed; - a linear park and Creekside trail are proposed; - environmental benefits associated with remediation of the mine site through capping the site with a layer of structural fill, the addition of new landscaping, green building designs and sustainability features; - jobs associated with the commercial sector; - provision of flood safety systems.
Public Engagement
On April 27, 2017, the applicant held an open house in order to collect feedback on the proposal. The applicant has noted that the input obtained from that session was mostly positive. Should this application proceed, the SLRD will host another public open house with respect to this application. In addition, as per the Local Government Act (LGA), a statutory public hearing will need to be held with respect to any zoning and OCP amendment bylaws.
Regional Impacts
The project is not likely to have any regional impacts given the relatively small size of the project, however it may provide some regional benefits, including: some additional housing of various types, heritage preservation, a revitalized Britannia Beach and completion of Britannia Creek floodproofing systems which may provide safety to the highway and the highway bridge. Any regional traffic impacts appear to be neglible due to the small size of the project, and will be further reviewed in the requested updated traffic study.
Next Steps
Staff will continue to work with the applicant to clarify issues and further develop the application details so that bylaws can be developed and brought back to the Board for first reading.
OPTIONS (options 1 and 2 are preferred):
Option 1: Grant permission to proceed with the review of Britannia Oceanfront Developments’ application for a zoning and OCP amendment.
Option 2: Grant permission to proceed with the review of Britannia Oceanfront Developments’ application for a zoning and OCP amendment, and provide additional input to staff.
Option 3: Opt not to proceed with review of Britannia Oceanfront Developments’ application for a zoning and OCP amendment.

Britannia Beach
Overview
Macdonald Development has been involved in Britannia Beach since approximately 2000, working directly with the Province to enable the cleanup of one of the most contaminated industrial sites in North America. Of the 10,000 acres in the overall land acquisition, 9,500 acres were deeded back to the Province in order that the remediation could take place. After building out the single family lots, the only remaining undeveloped land is the original Village site with a series of historic buildings immediately off the Sea to Sky highway – the current masterplan proposes to incorporate the old structures and infill as necessary to create a commercial village of approximately 30,000 square feet and 71 townhomes.
The Province has already completed much of the decommissioning required for a series of dams in Britannia Creek above the village – this work will allow development in what was formerly an area that could have been at risk in certain large flood events.
Heritage Opportunity
The heritage of Britannia is extremely rich, and today there are very few opportunities remaining anywhere in the Province to retain significant components of a ‘company town’ specifically constructed to house and serve workers for one employer. The depth of the composition will come from the critical mass of heritage buildings (some 12 in all), comprising a base on which to infill other structures. The new buildings will be complementary to the heritage pieces with simple forms and materiality that is appropriate for the context.
In some cases, buildings will be moved away from the creek, providing a net benefit to the riparian zone. In upgrading to the current Building Code, each structure will be lifted and a new foundation constructed before they are finally placed. The buildings will be retrofitted as necessary to accommodate their new uses as retail and commercial businesses or community amenities.
The buildings at Britannia are for the most part not architecturally significant – they are humble structures characterized by their simple forms and locally sourced materials, a theme that will connect new and old buildings. To further enhance the overall Britannia Beach story, the original uses of the individual buildings will be highlighted with descriptive signage.
As part of this adaptive reuse project, there will be a Heritage Revitalization Agreement put in place to allow incentives and relaxations as necessary to assist in keeping this series of structures as intact as possible without certain encumbrances imposed by contemporary regulations.
Commercial Village
The village will feature a vital mix of uses that will enhance this as an entry point for visitors to the Sea to Sky Corridor while also providing services and jobs for locals (post office, general store). Over the coming months the casting of the commercial spaces will be refined to make sure that the mix and quality of tenants is fully aligned with building sizes and locations.
Page | 1
Page 56 of 124 Request for Decision - Britannia Oceanfront Developments Cor...
Within both existing and new buildings, rental units will be constructed above certain retail spaces to accomplish 2 distinct goals:
• Provision of affordable housing opportunities. • Added vitality to the village by having residents living right in the heart of the commercial space.
Townhomes
Along Copper Drive, each of the townhomes will have its own front door opening onto the street, with cars confined to the rear of the buildings in an auto court concept. This planning typology will make the homes feel like part of the overall Village, a real town featuring a mix of residential and commercial uses. All homes will be side by side so there will be no situations where one resident lives over another. Many of the homes will back onto a passive green space / park.
The row of homes most proximate to the commercial area will feature “live work” spaces on the ground floor for owners who choose to have a home based business with a presence in the commercial mix. These spaces could accommodate a variety of uses ranging from service based businesses to sales of art or artisanal products.
The emphasis in the townhomes will be to design them with square footages in keeping with the budgets of a variety of buyers. It is anticipated that the purchasers of these homes will consist of both first time and move down buyers, working toward an optimal demographic mix.
The language of architecture draws on the historic precedents of both the mining and residential structures, an expression that incorporates heavy timber and corrugated metal roofing in accent locations. Best described as modest yet robust, these buildings will have a simplicity of line and materiality that are clearly connected to the place and its antecedent architecture.
Community Amenities
Village – The most prominent amenity at Britannia is in fact the commercial village itself. For residents of the community, the opportunity to have services so close to home is a significant asset, with the added benefit of reducing trips on the Sea to Sky highway. Incorporating 11 units of rental housing in the village demonstrates a commitment to affordable housing in the community.
Daycare – One of the existing village buildings is being repurposed to serve as a daycare. The current plan for this space is to identify a capable local operator who would be able to move into a fully completed space (including adjacent outdoor play area) with a favourable rent structure to enable the provision of affordable daycare for the residents of Britannia. With very limited capital costs for the operator to start the business, this should be an achievable goal.
Fitness Facility – Another building will be designated as a community fitness centre on the main floor level, with a multipurpose space in the basement for ski and bike tuning.
Page | 2
Page 57 of 124 Request for Decision - Britannia Oceanfront Developments Cor...
Community Hall – The existing upper floor community hall will continue to serve this use, albeit with substantial upgrading. This will include the construction of a porch on the front of the building to correspond to historical photos, plus installation of an elevator for universal accessibility. Additionally, the upper floor space will be rehabilitated with sprinkler systems, insulation, and renewed finishes. This facility will be operated under the direction of the Britannia Beach Community Association.
Children’s Play and Community Garden – These amenity spaces will be located at the upper end of the site just off Copper Drive in order that they can be readily utilized by the entire community. Detailed design of the play area and community garden are under way at this time.
Linear Park and Creekside Trail – With the additional setback to the village from the creek, there is an opportunity to create a linear park and trail along the creek edge. This will run from Copper drive and connect directly to the existing pedestrian bridge – an off-leash dog park will be located in this area.
Environmental Benefits
While the obvious environmental benefit in Britannia is the remediation of the mine site, the story by no means ends there. In construction of the project, much of the isolated contaminants will be capped with a layer of clean material, which will have the added benefit of allowing significant landscape material to be introduced to the streets and open spaces. One of the guiding principles for the project is the statement that the greenest building is by definition one that is being repurposed, especially when compared to the alternative of razing structures and transporting them to the landfill while spending precious resources on new construction. The townhomes will incorporate a series of sustainability features into their design at the outset.
Economic Benefits
The Sea to Sky corridor is an extremely important economic engine for the overall BC tourism industry, with Whistler, Shannon Falls, the Mining Museum, and more recently the new Gondola. Britannia is another component of this experience as the entire corridor undergoes the next phase of its continuing transformation to a new economy based on adventure tourism.
With over 3 million vehicles per year driving up and down the highway, Britannia will become a destination along the way, providing jobs both during its construction and as an operational entity.
Conclusion
As a project that has significant long term benefits, Britannia Beach ticks all the boxes – upgrading existing heritage buildings to current standards (in a unique retention of a series of structures), providing a modest amount of additional residential development in a Village setting, and greatly enhancing the safety of existing structures in the immediate area, providing jobs for today and into the future.

REQUEST FOR DECISION Development Variance Permit #133 Ptolemy, Mount Currie (Area C)
Meeting Dates: June 14/28, 2017 File No. 3090-20.133
To: EAD Committee/SLRD Board of Directors
Owner: Clifford James Ptolemy & Jolana Marcy Ptolemy Applicant/Agent: N/A
Location: 1851 Reid Rd, Mount Currie, Electoral Area C
Legal description: LOT 3 DISTRICT LOT 2679 LILLOOET DISTRICT PLAN 33675 (PID: 001-608-878)
OCP Zoning: ALR DP Area: Designation: Rural Residential 1 Status: N/A Rural Residential No
RECOMMENDATIONS:
THAT the Board approve the issuance of Development Variance Permit #133 for the property legally described as LOT 3 DISTRICT LOT 2679 LILLOOET DISTRICT PLAN 33675 (PID: 001- 608-878) to vary the setback for structures from the side parcel line from 7.5 m to 0.82 m, a total variance of 6.68 m;
THAT the Chief Administrative Officer or Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the Permit.
KEY ISSUES/CONCEPTS: The applicant has constructed an unpermitted accessory building too close to the property line. In order for the Building department to issue the final approval for the building permit of this property, the Building Inspector has required that the owner apply for a variance for the setback of the accessory building in regards to the parcel line.
The neighboring parcel owner has given verbal support for this variance to be granted. The SLRD Building Inspector can support the variance provided that the accessory building’s windows are taken out on the side closest to the south parcel line (in order to address BC Building Code limiting distance requirements) and provided that fire rated building materials are used for siding.
Page 59 of 124 Request for Decision - Development Variance Permit #133 - Pt... Request for Decision Development Variance Permit #133 Ptolemy, Mount Currie (Area C)
RELEVANT POLICIES: The subject 2.16 ha property is zoned Rural 1 (RR1) in the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Electoral Area C Zoning Bylaw No. 765, 2002 and designated Rural Residential in the Electoral Area C Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 689, 1999. The property is within the Riparian Protection Development Permit Area, but does not require a Development Permit as it does not come within 30m of a waterbody or watercourse.
BACKGROUND: The owners constructed a single family dwelling and an accessory building on this property without permits. A stop work notice was placed on the property, and the owners have applied for a permit in order to continue the building process.
As per the Building Inspector’s request, the owners have applied for a Development Variance Permit to vary the setback requirements for the accessory building so that the final permits for the buildings on the property can be issued. The Building Inspector will also require alterations to the structure in order to comply with the Building Code in regards to reduced setbacks from the property line. The owner of the neighbouring property has expressed verbal support for the variance, and does not have any objections.
There was a previous Development Variance Permit, DVP #94, approved for the property which has since lapsed as it is over 2 years old. The owners claimed that they were unable to finish the conditions of the previous DVP due to a family member’s illness, which required them to postpone their plans. This previous DVP required the owners to maintain a 3.3 m setback, which would have required them to remove a portion of the accessory building in order to meet that requirement. A smaller variance was not supported by the neighbouring property owner at that time. Since then the property has been sold and the new owner is supportive of the reduced variance. The directly affected property has an active building application which sites the proposed building envelope for the proposed single family dwelling on the opposite side of the property, leaving significant setback.
The proposed permit would vary the provisions of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Electoral Area C Zoning Bylaw No. 765, 2002 for the above noted property as follows:
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.10(1) “Siting Requirements” in the Squamish- Lillooet Regional District Electoral Area C Zoning Bylaw No. 765, 2002, the parcel line setback shall be reduced by 6.68 m, from 7.5 m to 0.82 m; and
This variance to be in substantial compliance with the location, plans and drawings identified as Schedules 1 and 2 and attached hereto and forming part of this permit.
Public Notification Responses:
Notification letters were mailed to property owners within 50 m of the subject property on May 15, 2017, as per the February 25, 2015 SLRD Board Resolution (i.e. 28 days prior to the meeting date at which the DVP will be considered by the Board).
Staff will provide any comments received at the SLRD Board of Directors meeting on June 28, 2017.

Page 60 of 124 Request for Decision - Development Variance Permit #133 - Pt... Request for Decision Development Variance Permit #133 Ptolemy, Mount Currie (Area C)
OPTIONS & ANALYSIS:
Option 1 (PREFERRED OPTION) Offer unconditional support for the application and issue the DVP as presented.
The SLRD has no objection to the variance if the conditions stated by the SLRD Building Inspector, are met by the property owners. The neighbouring property which lies to the south has stated their verbal support for the variance to be granted.
Option 2 Ask the applicant to revise his application and re-submit to the SLRD.
Option 3 Do not support the application as presented.
IMPLICATIONS
Approval of the DVP would allow the applicant to retain the accessory building in its current location with changes to meet the Building Inspector’s requirements. Should the DVP application be rejected, the applicant will have to remove or re-site the building to be in accordance with the established zoning bylaw provisions.
FOLLOW UP ACTION: Advise applicant of resolution. Issue the permit if approved.

Permission to Proceed
Meeting Dates: June 14/June 28, 2017
To: SLRD Electoral Area Directors/SLRD Board
Applicant: Janie Bergeron (Agent); 5997889 Manitoba Ltd. (Owner)
Location: SLRD Electoral Area A – Mt. Penrose (near Gun Lake)
Legal Descriptions: Unsurveyed Crown Land (Mt. Penrose, adjacent to Gun Lake)
OCP Designation: Zoning: ALR Status: Development Permit Resource RR2 – Rural N/A Areas: Management – Upper Resource Wildfire Protection Bridge River Valley – Electoral Area A Official Community Zoning Bylaw No. Plan Bylaw No. Bylaw 670, 1999 608, 1996
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT staff be directed to proceed with the zoning amendment process for the Mt. Penrose private communication tower zoning amendment application associated with the existing Jamie Creek hydroelectric facility but located on a separate parcel of Crown Land.
KEY ISSUES/CONCEPTS:
The SLRD received a zoning amendment application for a proposed private communications tower on an unsurveyed parcel of Crown land on Mt. Penrose (adjacent to Gun Lake). See Appendix A: Location Site Plan. The current RR2 zoning does not include private communications tower as a permitted use. Further, as the proposed communications tower is not located on the same parcel as the Jamie Creek Hydroelectric Facility (located ~ 10kms from Jamie Creek IPP - across Downtown Lake and up Mt. Penrose), it cannot be considered an accessory use to the IPP. Thus, a zoning amendment is required to support this use.
Proposed Zoning Amendment: To allow for a private communications tower on an unsurveyed parcel of Crown land on Mt. Penrose (adjacent to Gun Lake) to support the existing Jamie Creek Hydroelectric Facility.
SLRD Staff is seeking permission from the Board in order to proceed with the Mt. Penrose private communications tower zoning amendment application.
Page 66 of 124 Request for Decision - Mt. Penrose Communication Tower Zonin... REQUEST FOR DECISION Mt. Penrose Communications Tower Zoning Amendment Application (Area A) Permission to Proceed
RELEVANT POLICIES:
Squamish-Lillooet Regional District [Electoral Area A] Zoning Bylaw No. 670, 1999 Upper Bridge River Valley Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 608, 1996
BACKGROUND:
SLRD Staff have not yet drafted any bylaw amendments for this application. It is being brought to the Board for review to determine if there is support for the zoning amendment that will allow for a private communications tower as a permitted use on an unsurveyed parcel of Crown Land on Mt. Penrose, adjacent to Gun Lake.
Project Description 5997889 Manitoba Ltd. (Jamie Creek) is operating a 21.3 MW hydroelectric plant located on the South side of Downton Lake, 18 km west of Gold Bridge in the Thompson Region. The application states: the current satellite communication system being unreliable, the proposed Project aims to install a point to point microwave communication link between the Gun Lake Fire Station and the Jamie Creek hydroelectric plant to ensure personnel safety and reliable monitoring and operation of the plant.
The application proposes that a metal container 1.82 m x 1.82 m x 1.82 (6 ft x 6 ft x 6 ft) will be mounted on concrete pillars anchored to the rock. A 4.88 m antenna and four solar panels will be attached to the metal container. The equipment footprint is less than 5 m2. However, the metal container being installed on a mountain ridge with exposed bedrock, the lightning protection is an important safety concern for the personnel and the equipment. An area of 60 m x 60 m is required for the grounding wire to dissipate the electrical potential of a lightning strike; thus, the application (both SLRD zoning and Crown Land Tenure Application) is for an area of 60 m X 60 m.
The application suggests the material, tools, water and fuel required for construction will be lifted by helicopter from Gun Lake Fire Hall. No fuel will be left on site for operation or maintenance. The solar photovoltaic system will be the only power source available on site.
In terms of geography, the application states the terrain is alpine with sparse vegetation, exposed bedrock and thin veneers of eroded rock, scree and till. The geographical coordinates of the site are: Latitude: N 50º 51' 37.39" Longitude: W 122º 57' 5.48"
Crown Land Tenure Additionally, the SLRD received a Crown Land Referral for the related Crown Land Tenure application (Licence of Occupation) for the proposed private communications tower on May 8, 2017. A referral response has been provided. Staff did not have any objections to the tenure application, provided the required zoning amendment is approved. Further, it has been communicated that any SLRD zoning amendment will be contingent on the applicant receiving a Licence of Occupation Tenure for the private communications tower. The SLRD may continue processing the zoning amendment application (go through the bylaw readings and referrals process), but an amendment bylaw will not be adopted until the SLRD has confirmation that the applicant has received a Crown Land Tenure for the private communications tower.

Page 67 of 124 Request for Decision - Mt. Penrose Communication Tower Zonin... REQUEST FOR DECISION Mt. Penrose Communications Tower Zoning Amendment Application (Area A) Permission to Proceed Note that staff have made an inquiry to Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations (FLNRO) to determine if there are any other tenure holders on the subject parcel. The SLRD has a non-exclusive tenure for the Gold Bridge Fire Hall; it is not clear if this is for the same unsurveyed parcel or not. The applicants have indicated they are not aware of any other tenure holders.
ANALYSIS:
Current Zoning The subject parcel is zoned RR2 - Rural Resource Zone (8 ha) under the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District [Electoral Area A] Zoning Bylaw No. 670, 1999. Permitted uses include: agriculture forestry practices, including silviculture and processing but not including processing or manufacturing open land recreation including golf courses and motocross tracks single family dwelling garden nursery kennel campground secondary suite bed and breakfast home business home industry retail sale of farm products accessory buildings and accessory uses
Current OCP Designation The subject parcel is designated Resource Management under the Upper Bridge River Valley Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 608, 1996. The proposed use is generally compatible with the Resource Management designation and the following objective and policies are relevant:
To promote management of mineral, forest, and agricultural resources that is compatible with existing uses and respects the social and environmental values of the community.
11.2 Permitted uses on Resource Management lands are residential uses, agriculture, resource extraction, silviculture, dispersed outdoor recreation, and auxiliary uses related to these activities.
11.4 The development of small hydroelectric facilities is considered to be consistent with the Resource Management land designation where they are shown to be compatible with adjacent land uses, technically sound, environmentally responsible, socially responsible, and licensable.
11.5. The Regional District encourages the Ministry of Forests and Range to complete an inventory update for the plan area to reflect its very high visual sensitivity and the increased emphasis on retaining wilderness values and promoting tourism.
Community Watershed Protection Areas The proposed Communications Site is located just ~7.8 m outside the Community Watershed Protection Area (CWPA) (See Appendix B for location in relation to CWPA). The 60m x 60m grounding wire area would fall within the (CWPA).
3
Page 68 of 124 Request for Decision - Mt. Penrose Communication Tower Zonin... REQUEST FOR DECISION Mt. Penrose Communications Tower Zoning Amendment Application (Area A) Permission to Proceed
The following objective and policies pertain to the CWPA.
To support the protection of community watersheds.
12.1. The Community Watershed Protection Areas, as indicated on Map 1, includes existing and pending community watersheds where lands shall be managed to maintain local water quality.
12.2. Permitted uses within Community Watershed Protection Areas are dispersed outdoor recreation and auxiliary uses related to these activities.
12.3. Intensive recreation, subdivision and rezoning of lands within Community Watershed Protection Areas shall be discouraged. Recreationalists are encouraged to minimize stream crossings and stay on existing trails to prevent erosion.
12.4. The Regional District encourages the Ministry of Forests and Range to ensure that forest practices within community watersheds are conducted in accordance with the B.C. Forest Practices Code Standards.
The CWPA policies do not speak specifically to communications towers; they do refer to discouraging rezonings. Any impacts in the 60 m x 60 m grounding wire area will likely be limited to the construction phase and not operations. As the communications tower itself is located outside the CWPA, and the grounding wire area will have limited impacts, staff are not concerned about this minor encroachment into the CWPA.
Other SLRD Permits The SLRD Building Inspector has determined that a building permit will not be required for the proposed works, as public safety is not an issue – the tower is not near a road which the public would use and there are no habitable buildings nearby; further, the proposed works will not be occupied by a service person. The SLRD Building Inspector has determined that the proposed private communications tower may be exempt from a Wildfire Development Permit, as per section 6.14 of the Upper Bridge River Valley Official Community Plan Bylaw No. Bylaw 608, 1996. The proposed private communications tower involves a metal container 1.82 m x 1.82 m x 1.82 (6 ft x 6 ft x 6 ft) mounted on concrete pillars anchored to rock, with an area of 60 m x 60 m for the grounding wire. It is felt that the proposed works do not impact wildfire protection efforts or warrant further mitigation.
Proposed Zoning Amendment Site specific rezoning to allow for private communications tower as a permitted use. Zoning could restrict use to the proposed location, as outlined on the Location Map and Site Plan (Appendix A). All other aspects of the current RR2 zoning would remain unaffected.
As the proposed private communication tower use is generally compatible with other surrounding Rural Resource/Resource Management uses, staff do not have concerns with a site specific rezoning. The private communications tower is proposed to be located just outside the Community Watershed Protection Area. The Board may wish to request that the location move to
4
Page 69 of 124 Request for Decision - Mt. Penrose Communication Tower Zonin... REQUEST FOR DECISION Mt. Penrose Communications Tower Zoning Amendment Application (Area A) Permission to Proceed ensure the entire 60 m x 60 m grounding wire area is outside this area, or it may be determined that impacts are limited to the construction phase, not ongoing operations, and thus are negligible or could be addressed through mitigation. There is adequate space on Mt. Penrose to accommodate the communications tower and supporting grounding wire. Visual impacts are likely minimal; according to the Site Plan (see appendix A) the communications tower is proposed to be 4.88 m from the base of the steel container, which is installed on a 15 cm-high steel frame supported by 1 m-high concrete pillars. Should the Board direct staff to proceed with the application, staff will: 1) request further details on potential visual impacts to surrounding areas; 2) determine whether the zoning must address the proposed helicopter access during construction; and 3) continue to work at gaining information on other tenure holders.
The proponent prepared a presentation and will attend the June 14, 2017 EAD meeting. The PDF is included as Appendix C to this staff report.
REGIONAL IMPACT ANALYSIS:
The proposed zoning amendment is for a site specific rezoning to provide for a private communication tower on an unsurveyed parcel of Crown land near Gun Lake. There are no existing land uses on the parcel or in the surrounding area. Any impacts will be isolated to the specific location, thus regional impacts are negligible.
OPTIONS:
Option 1 Direct SLRD Staff to proceed with the zoning amendment application process and to draft a zoning amendment bylaw.
Option 2 Refer the application back to SLRD Staff for more information, or revision.
Option 3 Reject the zoning amendment application.
PREFERRED OPTION: Option 1
FOLLOW UP ACTION: If approved by the Board, proceed with development of a zoning amendment bylaw.

Director’s Report
Re: Boultbee Memorial Church - Bralorne
Please read the attached report from 2013. Following this report and the Board’s direction short term management plan agreements have been signed with the Bridge River Valley Community Association.
It is important to note that the Boultbee Memorial Church is more a heritage asset than church although if there was a call for it several church services could be held. However these days the use of the church is varied and diverse.
A series of reports on the contents and structure along with an operational plan were completed separately. Outstanding is a Statement of Signficance (Heritage foundational document) remains to do.
This time has given me the opportunity to observe and consider the best long term situation for this Church.
My recommendations are: 1. That the Boultbee Memorial Church be named as part of the Community Parks function 2. That a long term management plan be signed with BRVCA (20 years).
In doing this we continue to have the local government with an oversight role in this church. This will provide a sustainability factor for the church

over the long term. Moving this into the Community Parks function provides opportunities for supportive funding which combined with the Area A Asset Preservation service can provide the financial support at a basic level.
The management agreement with BRVCA provides the other prong long term for the management of the building. They have done a good job thus far, and their Heritage Committee have prioritized actions and priorities that came out of the operational plan for the building. I would suggest that the operational plan that was done be included as a Schedule in the Management Agreement. The BRVCA has the most capacity professionally and as an organization in our area to undertake this Management Agreement.
Thank you once again to the board for your support of this unusual Heritage Asset.
Yours truly,

Director’s Report
Re: Boultbee Memorial Church – Management/Ownership
As we discovered last year, the Boultbee Memorial Church is owned by the SLRD. It appears that in the distant past a lease may have been put in place with the Bralorne-Bridge River Valley Community Association. That lease expired many years ago. That society is now dissolved.
The Bralorne-Bridge River Valley Community Church Society has been in existence for approximately 20 years. They spearheaded and completed a significant church restoration. However it appears that no management plan or lease was put in place with this Society. This society is now also dissolving.
The church itself is in good condition with a couple of plumbing issues. Security and operational organization is currently minimal and this causes me concern. There are perhaps 3-5 Church services (non-denominational) there per year, perhaps 1-2 weddings and a few other meetings/events. This is very minimal and could be improved almost immediately with some focused attention. There is currently no budget nor any real idea of operational costs.
The umbrella organization, Bridge River Valley Community Association working with its Heritage Committee (in its infancy) has put forward a suggestion to the SLRD via a letter earlier this spring that they would entertain a management agreement or lease.
As seen elsewhere on this agenda, I as the Regional District Director am currently taking steps to fund an inventory and document the current status physically and from a heritage perspective of the Church. Additionally an operational plan will be completed. Next year, I will support the work to undertake a Statement of Significance for the Church, which will more clearly lay out its importance to the community and potential heritage designations.
Additionally there are immediate maintenance and winterization needs, along with other operational needs such as insurance and fuel for furnace.
It appears, that there is currently a void, in terms of responsibility, particularly of a Bridge River Valley entity for the church.
I would like to put 3 options forward for discussion: 1. Short Term Management Plan – 1 year –suggested to BRVCA – while some of the assessment/operational work is completed, manage day-day items such as booking, opening, closing and so on.

2. Long Term Management Plan or Lease – 5 year, 10 year – suggested to BRVCA. The Church has an oil furnace and is subject to the same sewer situation as the rest of Bralorne. It may be easier to obtain funding for significant items if it remains in ownership of the SLRD. 3. Sell/Dispose to suggested BRVCA. This option removes this completely from SLRD responsibility and puts it into the hands of an organization with demonstrated management abilities. I would like to discuss this with my Electoral Area colleagues as I, at this time, have no one particular desired option – other – than if we cannot move forward with a #2 or #3, we really must either devote SLRD staff time to these Church related issue OR put #1 in place.

The Lil’wat Nation Rodeo is an open three day event aimed at amateur rodeo stars and the Pow-wow is also a 3 day event with “Combined Specials in all Categories, 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes”. The Rodeo events are Ladies Barrel Racing, Team Roping, Steer Wrestling, Ladies Breakaway Roping and Bull Riding. The first day is considered a Fun Day where contestants include Rodeo participants and audience participation – and will include activities such as foot races, cowboy hustle, and water balloon toss plus other children’s activities makes this event fun for the entire family. We anticipate 50 plus participants and well over 300 spectators to attend each fun filled day, which will enhance business throughout the corridor.

RE: Request for 2017 funding for Invasive Species Management
Dear Mr. Rainbow,
I am writing to you to request funding for 2017 for our ongoing Invasive Species Management Program. We are very grateful for the funding you provided to us in 2015 and 2016, and hope you can continue to support our work into 2017 and beyond. Our organization, the Sea to Sky Invasive Species Council, is a charitable organization that works to minimize the threat of invasive species that impact on the environment, the economy and human health in the Sea to Sky corridor. We carry out on-the-ground inventory, control and monitoring of invasive plants; we raise awareness, educate and train the public, government agencies, and other land managers about invasive species and their impacts; we provide a conduit for information and a source of expertise on invasive species including identification, prevention and control; we aim to improve invasive plant stakeholder communication and information sharing; and we work with local governments to develop and implement policy.
Invasive plants profoundly limit biodiversity, threatening the vital elements that support the ecological integrity of coastal ecosystems. These species negatively affect the habitat of wild animals, they can increase fire hazard and accelerate erosion, which leads to siltation. They also cause human and animal health problems, can impact buildings and infrastructure, and can reduce crop and forage quantity and quality. In the SLRD Area D, species like Giant Hogweed and Scotch Broom are a serious health hazard to residents, and Japanese Knotweed is threatening infrastructure and property values.
Because of the cost to our environment, economy, and health, prevention of new invaders, and active management of existing invasive species is key. Choosing to act now and support programs that raise awareness about new invaders like fire ants, and preventing the further spread of species that are already here will save communities money in the long run. As a charitable organization, our programs are funded by a combination of contributions from our Local Government Partnership Program participants, our fee-for-service programs (training and field crew hire programs), and also through grants from government, industry and private foundations. Whilst we have been lucky in the past, we cannot rely on grants to support our work. For this reason, we request annual funds from all local, regional and first nations governments in the corridor, as these communities directly benefit from the services we provide. Electoral Area D contributed $12,000 last year, which we are very grateful for, as it allowed us to: carry out education and outreach activities,
Page 92 of 124 Request for Funding - Sea to Sky Invasive Species Council - ... support the community by answering questions and providing information about invasive species and recommended management strategies. Deliver control programs for Japanese knotweed, Giant Hogweed and Scotch Broom in the Britannia Beach area. We made significant progress in 2016, thanks to the funding and support from the SLRD, but there is still much work to be done, so we are asking that you continue to support our programs in 2017, while we work with staff to provide input on the establishment of a service area for invasive species in the regional district.
Request #1: We ask that the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Electoral Area D continue to provide stable annual funding for our Partnership Program, with a contribution of $1,500 for 2017.
Request #2: We ask that the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Electoral Area D continue to provide stable annual funding for our Inventory, Control & Monitoring Program, with a contribution of $10,500 for 2017.
In summary, we are requesting a total contribution of $12,000 as follows: Component SLRD Area D
Partnership Program $1500 Inventory, Control & Monitoring (Public Lands) $7500 Inventory, Control & Monitoring (Private lands Program) $3000 TOTAL $12,000
We hope you see value and merit in our work, and that you will consider the request for funding in your budget planning process. If you have any questions, please contact me anytime.

Hi Lynda
As per Russell’s direction, I am forwarding this correspondence regarding a funding request the Village received from Signal Hill Elementary School for the purchase of 2 Buddy Benches. I have attached for your information the report to council and application that was presented to Council on May 16th. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at the Village Office.
Also, I have been advised that the chq should be made out to Signal Hill Elementary School (at the same address) as the benches will be purchased through the school and not the PAC – which keeps it simpler.
Many Thanks.

Good Afternoon Russell:

As per our conversation regarding the Signal Hill Elementary School request for funding for the Buddy Benches, this is to advise that at the Village of Pemberton Regular Council Meeting No. 1450, held Tuesday, May 16, 2017, a delegation from Signal Hill Elementary School, made up of students from Ms. Cameron and Ms. Irelands Grade One/Two classes, attended the Council meeting and presented their request. In this regard, I am pleased to advise that Council supported the request for funding for two (2) benches and passed the following resolution:
Moved/Seconded THAT a contribution from the Community Enhancement Fund, in the amount of $803.00, be provided to Signal Hill Elementary School for the purchase of two (2) Buddy Benches. CARRIED
You had indicated your support in matching the Village’s contribution. As such, I am attaching for your information the official letter the Village will be sending to the school this week and am hoping that the students may still count on your support, in the amount of $803.00, toward the purchase of two buddy benches that will be installed on the school playground. As I noted, this is an initiative that the students have been working on this winter which started as a result of a very generous donation to the school Parent Advisory Council by the Walt Family specifically to purchase a buddy bench.
Please advise if you require the students to send a letter or if this notification will suffice. The cheque should be made out to the Signal Hill Elementary School Parent Advisory Council, 1410 Portage Road, Pemberton, BC V0N 2L0.
Many thanks for your support.

Cold and dry food storage will benefit the Lillooet and T’it’q’et Communities by extending storage life of food grown by Lillooet Farmers and food grown in the T’it’q’et food security program. The new site will allow cold and dry food storage to be closer to our
commercial kitchen and to our garden to reduce travel distance from garden — storage— processing kitchen. In addition, the location will serve as storage for our community's food box program to eventually be able to store enough produce for community members, as well as a place for Lillooet area farmers to use as an alternate option to store their large harvests. This cold storage project can provide the Lillooet communities with consistent access to healthy food.
Milestones
1 Digging out a 23’x23’ hole.
2 reinforce and seal both 20’ shipping containers.
3 Liftand install both 20’ reinforced and sealed shipping containers into the 23’x23’ hole.
4 Install ventilation system in both and cooling system in one.
Investments
T’it’q’et Community Food Security Program has already invested $6,000 by purchasing two 20’ shipping containers, and $10,000 for a cooling unit, total investment of $16,000 into the food storage project. We have received funds from the Heart and Stroke Foundation ”Food Systems in First Nations Communities: Building on Community Gardens) which will also be utilized for the project. |f$5,000 is received from Director Macri, T’it’q’et Community Food Security Program will be able to move to the next steps.
We greatly appreciate your consideration

Good Morning Folks
In order to streamline and make the monitoring of the Lillooet warning system safer and more efficient I have asked NHC to prepare a proposal to install a camera at the warning system location that will look at a gauge mounted on the Forestry bridge pillar – quote in email below. The main benefits of this camera are: 1. Efficiency - Once an alarm is triggered the location can be viewed remotely from a computer in real time saving precious time that would be required to physically go to the site and make a visual observation. 2. Safety - No need to have persons make visual observations and that could put the individual in a potentially dangerous situation, the accident in Cache Creek this spring is a good example of the hazards of making these visual observations especially at night and alone. 3. Monitoring – The system can be remotely monitored 24/7 by any trained staff that has access to a computer.
Summary of costs:
System Installed………………………………………………………………$7200.00 Tree brushing to improve cell reception…………………………$2000.00 Installation of staff gauge……………………………………………….$1000.00 NHC Tech give training session on system……………………..$1500.00 Total……………………………………………………………………….$11,700 - $2925/Local Government
As we are getting into the critical season for Meager slide activity I recommend that staff make a presentation to our respective Councils and Boards in order to seek approval for funding this monitoring system as soon as possible. Please let me know if have any questions or comments and I will do all I can to assist and help move this forward.

Page 108 of 124 Request for Funding - Pemberton Valley Dyking District - Lil...
Hello Steve,
Andre wanted me to provide you with a cost estimate for installing a camera at the Lillooet River early warning system (EWS). I understand that the camera will help decide if the triggered alarm is real or not. We would like to install a Campbell Scientific CCFC outdoor field camera. It’s a high-resolution outdoor camera that can take pictures and video. The camera has a night mode so we can capture images in any lighting condition with its built-in LED lights. The link below has more information about the camera.
https://www.campbellsci.ca/ccfc
The camera will connect through the existing cellular modem to upload pictures at a regular interval. It could send photos hourly or daily to help verify that the camera is working. The existing datalogger will be re-programmed to trigger photo’s when the alarm condition is met; this will aid in validating the alarm.
An additional battery will be added to the station because of the additional draw of the camera. This is recommended to avoid costly site visits when batteries are fairly inexpensive.
The camera can either be mounted directly on the station or hidden in the forest. Given the vandalism issues at this site, I would recommend mounting it in the forest inside a small painted plywood box. Cell reception has been an issue at this site, especially in the winter. I understand that a faller might go in and clear some tree’s out, this should help with the reception. The cell reception will be better during the warmer season’s when we have greater risks of flooding, and landslides.
Total cost for the installation, instrumentation, and disbursements will be $7,127 (detailed cost breakdown below). This cost assumes we can pair the work with the Lillooet river survey happening over the next couple months. Lead time for getting the instrumentation is guaranteed in 6 weeks, with the possibility of getting it in 4 weeks. If we want to pair this work with the survey, we will have to order the instrumentation fairly soon.

Hi Lynda,
Could this matter of CN rail crossing into Seton/Shalath please be placed on the EAD agenda as a Director’s report.
The photo taken is showing work done on an area where there is no crossing, strange but maybe a reason for it.
John will be forwarding the actual area of concern which is when you enter into Seton/Shalath from Mission Mountain. Russell will know the area.
Questions are sounding like who owns the crossing and who will have to pay for it and do the work?
Thanks, Mickey

Hi Mickey got your last emails about the meetings and all I was wondering if the slrd could put some pressure on CN to repair the first rail crossing coming in to Seton.
They replaced the one on Anderson lake at buntains (pictures attached) we have askes them to repair the crossing and so far nothing has been done.
