Hello. It is my displeasure to have to inform you that we are able to smell a most noxious odour, the quality of which is almost indescribable. At the first hint of the smell, we immediately closed all our window and doors, even though the outdoor temperature is about 26*C. We were too late! ! Now, inside our home, it smells of an odorous mixture of old locker socks, doggie doo, cat litter, and dead fish. We are spraying room freshener, but the smell lingers. The wind direction is now a light NE.
We were, earlier in.the day, shopping and moving throughout the town of Campbell River. We could discern nothing really that obnoxious. We arrived at relatives for a visit, and. - you guessed it;- there was `the smell'. That location is south of our residence, by several kilometres. `The smell' joined us for lunch; it was still there as we left to come home. The wind direction was then a medium NW. As you can see, the wind does not necessarily stay constant, but swings from one direction to another, at will.
We are not at all interested in putting the business, Renewable Resources,responsible for `the smell', out of business.. Most of us would not be[and have not been, many, many times] concerned about a `mildly unpleasant' odour. We do, however, get a bit riled when this odour invades our homes, and is far, far beyond `mildly unpleasant'. Today in particular, [as it was last Friday, twice - once in the morning, and again in the afternoon] - I would call the odour `very, veryunpleasant'.It is enough to turn youstomach,after an hour or two_ We have, on several occasions, simply just locked up and gone for a drive for the day.
What we are really aiming .for is to be sure there are very strict guidelines in place, and that they are strongly enforced. As you will realise, with this type of odour wafting through the woods for miles and miles, we now have several bears that reside in our area[where they would not normally stay] and many, many eagles, crows and seagulls that just sit around and stuff themselves on deceased fish. There are huge chunks of the stuff every where, near the site. The smell is heavy with all the resulting excrement of these birds. There would seem to be a few environmental concerns, with just these items.
Thank you for your time and patience. I am lookingforward toa quick sol n tothisprpble

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Deller:
My name is Bruce Carruthers and I am a realtor with RE/MAX Check Realty in Campbell River. I have a home for sale in your trailer park. Last weekend I held an Open House and thought that you should be aware that the groups that toured the home were absolutely flabbergasted by the stench in the air. They asked if this was a regular occurrence and where it was coming from.I informed them that it was coming from Renuable Resources fish composting operation at Middle Point. Needless to say, there was no interest in purchasing in your park.
In my professional opinion, if this continues to occur, the value of these homes will depreciate and make it very difficult to find buyers.
Sincerely,
RE/MAX Check Really

Re: Strategic Planning Phase of Willow Creek Watershed Management Plan "Willow Creek Management Strategies for Land and Water Use"
Purpose: 1)Update Mayor and Council on the progress of the WillowCreekWatershed Management Planning Process 2) Request representatives from the District of Campbell River to participate in the WCWS Watershed Management Planning process 3) Request in kind meeting room space
Dear Mayor Lornie and Council members,
In October 2001, the Willow Creek Watershed Society (WCWS) initiated a Watershed Management Planning process, to which the District of Campbell River gave support in principle. A watershed assessment has been completed, stakeholder meetings have been held, and a Willow Creek Resource Manual has been developed. A public forum in January 2002 that allowed us to obtain community input into this process, resulted in clear vision, goals, and objectives for the watershed.
One of the goals established at the public forum was, "To work with landowners, stewards, interested citizens, stakeholders and governing bodies to encourage ecologically sound development with adequate consideration for land, water and people." In order to further the planning for this goal, a project was developed entitled "Willow Creek Management Strategies for Land and Water Use." Funding is now in place to begin this project.
We will be developing management strategies for land and water use within the watershed through a process of public meetings, formation of planning and advisory committees, and input from stakeholders and government agencies. The result will be a series of recommendations that allow for development and growth within the watershed, while recognizing social, economic and environmental values. Measurable objectives, timelines for action items, a budget, and implementation guidelines will be developed.
Process: In brief, the project follows these steps: 1.Planning - Holding meetings for public, planning, and advisory groups (Sept-Dec. '02) 2.Public Review - draft strategies (January, '03) 3. Final document submission to the regulatory governments for approval (March, '03) 4.Implementation (ongoing from April '03)
Willow Creek Watershed Society, P.O Box 392 Campbell River, B.C. V9W 5B6 nursday, August 22, 2002 5:09 AM To: Attn: Sylvie From:Sam and PaulWiedeman, S S7 5735 Page: 2 of 5
Support: Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection, Willow Point Business Improvement Association, Georgia Park Neighborhood Committee, Regional District of Comox-Strathcona, Greenways Land Trust, BC Hydro, and the Nature Trust of BC have indicated that they support or will commit to participating in this process. We are in discussions with TimberWest Developments, TimberWest Forest Company, the Homalco First Nation regarding their level of involvement.
The District of Campbell River has to date provided support for the watershed planning process through the involvement of the Habitat Steward, Michael Roth, in the preplanning phase. Planning and Engineering staff have also been helpful with guidance and information. We recently discussed the planning process with DCR Planning Services Manager, Paul Stanton. It is our hope that the information gathered and strategies developed through this process will be useful for the upcoming Official Community Plan review, and may eventually be incorporated into the OCP in some manner.
As such, we request your ongoing support for this process through the provision of District representatives from the Planning and Engineering Departments to attend between seven and nine planning meetings between now and April 2003, in order to provide technical advice and input. Occasional individual consultations between the Society's Planning Coordinator and District staff may also be required.If this is granted, we respectfully request written confirmation of this support, in order to complete our reporting requirements to our funders.
We are also requesting the use of meeting room space at the Municipal Hall for three to five meetings between September 2002 and March 2003.
Thank-you for this opportunity to further our goals.
I am available at your request to discuss this matter further. Please contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Sam Wiedeman Planning Coordinator for the Willow Creek Watershed Society

Willow Creek Management Strategies for Land and Water Use Backgrounder
1. Project Summary
Problem The Willow Creek watershed is a 23.9 km2 watershed that lies primarily within Statement the District of Campbell River. The creek is an "indicator stream" with high fisheries values but the natural stocks are dwindling. Since the 1930's, 30% of The the wetlands have disappeared (Noble, '96). There are now extreme upcoming fluctuations in water flows and reduction in water quality (Roth, '98). This has further resulted in a steady decline in fish habitat (Bell-Irving,'97). The health of OCP review the watershed is failing. is the key reason why Over time, human activities have seriously impacted this watershed. Further this planning urban, industrial, and commercial development is imminent. Comprehensive must be doneDevelopment plans for a further 1100 homes are in process (Jubilee Heights). on Willow ALR removal has been approved beside the airport. Creekat this As this watershed is developed, the Willow Creek Watershed Society (the time. Society) feels there is a need to ensure that quality of life is sustained for wildlife and for the people who have chosen to live here. They recognize that projects within the watershed can only be effective through a whole watershed approach that will allow for consideration of socio-economic elements, biophysical factors, and public values. They wish to coordinate efforts and gain public support and cooperation to produce a watershed-based vision for land use and development. Justification This project is a research and review process with public and stakeholder's input. It allows the government to proceed with their mandates and the landowners to be informed. It ensures that participation and communication about the future of this watershed is maximized. Project This project is part of a Watershed Management Plan. The purpose of this Land Outline Use Plan is to provide sound data and recommendations to the OCP review process by addressing watershed-based issues about resource use and development for the watershed. It will be a document with measurable objectives, prioritized action items and implementation guidelines.
GIS mapping and meeting facilitation are key components to this plan. Community-based planning will require input and advice from landowners and all levels of government. This is meant to be an open andparticipatoryprocess.

At the outset, I should clarify that the current uncertainty surrounding the future of the passenger rail service on Vancouver Island arises from the November 2001 decision by the E&N Railway, a shortline operator owned by RailAmerica, to cease rail freight operations in early 2002. This followed the decision by its largest customer, the Norske Canada paper mill at Port Alberni, to shift its traffic from rail to truck. On December 11, 2001, VIA Rail was notified by RailAmerica and Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) that the Train Service Agreement would be terminated effective March 15, 2002. VIA, RailAmerica and CPR participated actively in two round-table meetings held in February and March, which were organized by the Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities Association, to explore options for the future of rail service on the Island. A Transport Canada official was also present at the meetings as an observer. As you may be aware, theVancouverIsland Rail Development Initiative has confirmed that arrangements are in place to continue the rail service until the end of September2002. VIA has contributed towards the continued operation of the service and will also continue working with other stakeholders to develop a business plan for the long-term operation of the service. As you know, VIA is provided with an annual operating subsidy of $170 million by the federal government to maintain the entire national rail network, which includes the western transcontinental service, the Montreal-Ottawa-Toronto triangle service, and the E&N Railway. The subsidy is fully allocated to support all of VIA's services across the country. The loss of freight shipments on the E&N Railway will dramatically increase the cost of providing the passenger service, and VIA's current budget could not absorb that cost. However, VIA is prepared to continue to operate the passenger service at present funding levels as long as the line is operational. r1_0 I 03-011 OR (97-08) Canada 2 Transport Canada continues to monitor developments and remains prepared to consider the outcome of the efforts to develop a business plan for the future of the rail service on Vancouver Island. I hope that the foregoing helps to address your concerns. Again, thank you for writing. Yours sincerely, Hon. David M. Collenette, P.C., M.P. C.C. The Honourable Herb Dhaliwal, P.C., M.P. Senator the Honourable Pat Carney, P.C. Mr. Rod Visser, M.L.A. File: 8310-01 NICT June 5th, 2002 Honourable David Collenette Minister of Transportation House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario K1 A 0A6 Dear Minister David Collenette: Re: Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway On Friday, May 10th, 2002, a last minute reprieve was given to the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway. The railway will continue to operate until June 15th, 2002 while business proposals continue to be discussed. The Districtof Campbell River supports the efforts undertaken by local municipal governments and residents to ensure the survival of a revitalized E&N Railway. We therefore encourage the Federal Government to continue financial support of this service until a viable business plan can be developed. The Federal Government subsidizes other Canadian rail services through Via Rail, including the Transcontinental and the Ottawa-Montreal-Toronto triangle, to the benefit of the country as a whole. British Columbia deserves equal treatment. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Yours truly, James M.

Marisol Sepulveda Enclosure 074 01-Aug-02 BC Office of the Ombudsman Page 1 of 1 11:46 am MMS omb75 Closing Summary Authority: DISTRICT OF CAMPBELL RIVER File Number: 02-35885 ClosingDate: 01-Aug-2002 Closing Status: Closed; Investigation; Completed; Findings - Not substantiated (s. 22) A man complained that the District's decision to close a road was unfair, as it would deprive him of access to his property, which abutted the road. In addition, the complainant questioned the District's authority to close the road, which he believed to be Crown land. Further, the complainant argued that by issuing him building permits for two accessory buildings, the District had confirmed his right to use the road for access to his property. The complainant has legal access to a public road from the front of his property. The road the District closed was an old logging road that the complainant had been using to access the back of his property with his logging trucks. The District had issued a culvert permit to the previous owner in 1993 for vehicular access from the subject road to the back of the property. However, as the road was part of Crown land until 1995, the District had no authority to issue the permit in 1993, and therefore, the permit was void. With respect to the building permits for the accessory buildings, we found that there was no mention of road access in the permits. The zoning of the property allowed construction of accessory buildings, and road access was not a requirement for accessory buildings under the Zoning Bylaw. While the District's position was that it had no obligation to provide the complainant with vehicular access to the subject road, the District proposed an agreement that would give the complainant the right to continue using the closed part of road to access his property with his vehicles. In spite of several efforts made by District officials to attempt to discuss the agreement with the complainant, he refused to sign it. We were unable to conclude that the District has acted unfairly or without authority in deciding to close the road. Given the District's willingness to enter into an access agreement with the complainant, we found no grounds for further investigation.

Si QUADRA ISLAND FERRY 00 DATE: August 14, 2002 TO: Union of BC Municipalities Member Municipalities and Regional Districts FROM: District of Wells Mayor and Council SUBJECT: REQUEST TO SUPPORT EMERGENCY RESOLUTION at 2002 UBCM CONVENTION AND AGM Dear Friends School District 28 (Quesnel) recently voted to close the only elementary school in our community. Not only does this threaten the safety of our children, who are being asked to bus 160 km daily and spend up to 2 1/2 hours a day on a bus, but it threatens our community economically. This closure is being made possible because the Provincial Government is not enforcing its own policy. The written policy around the Small Community Supplement is clear that it is to be used to keep rural schools open. The Ministry of Education is ignoring this and turning a blind eye to School Districts who close rural schools and divert up to $300,000 per school into `general revenue'. The Ministry says this gives Boards "greater flexibility". However, these funds were meant to help defray the costs of operating rural schools who do not benefit from the economies of scale found in urban centres. This disregard of policy is proving very detrimental to many communities in northern and Central BC. Previously, many Boards were operating their rural schools at a profit - the Small Community Grant added to the student per capita grant was more than the cost of operating the school.It is only the ability to shift the entire $100,000 per school per year into general revenue that has made it profitable to close rural schools. The District of Wells believes that communities around the North need to send a clear message to Education Minister Clark and the Premier that it is not okay to destroy the fabric of our communities. Please adopt the attached motion and send a copy to Hon. Christie Clark and to Premier Gordon Campbell and support the resolution at UBCM. Thank you. Sincerely, (original signed by Dave Hendrixson, Mayor, District of Wells) Dave Hendrixson, Mayor District of Wells EMERGENCY RESOLUTION for adoption at the 2002 UBCMConvention and Annual General Meeting WHEREAS equal opportunity to education is the right of all British Columbians, and rural schools are critical to this right as well as to both the social and the economic fabric of rural communities, and WHEREAS the Ministry of Education's Small Community Supplement was established with the intent to assist School Districts in maintaining their rural schools and the Ministry of Education has failed to ensure that these funds be spent in support of rural education. NOW THEREFORE, We, call upon the Ministry of Education to ensure that the Small Community Supplement is used to keep rural schools open. z& roo -COOOQ , ,( xozz,,ca""'a "'Ce Mo- Aw- r"Z,O-Q-oc ,elu,,Z8J(, t I-N V Xl,c F 7- cn- I etiuza Z&c c'," - 4cta"--) Yd, Awe 'i^a - ow ;. Ylv Z/'i July 28, 2002 To: Council Member Cornfield From: Marc & Snow Klein, New Video Scene Hi again! When we spoke at the end of last year you mentioned you would revisit the new fireworks bylaw that permits New Year's Eve fireworks sales. Unfortunately, it also made changes in the amount of days fireworks sales are permitted for Halloween which has traditionally been Oct. 24 - Nov. 1 - now limited to only 3 or so days. Obviously when we wanted to have fireworks sales for New Year's Eve it was not our intention for them to give us one thing but punish the community by taking away from what was already in existence for years. However, because it was the last council session of the year and a special meeting had to be called, it was best to pass the bylaw as written. When asked who wrote the new bylaw it was stated by the fire chief that he and a clerk wrote it themselves. However, if the bylaw had not passed our Halloween sales dates would have remained unchanged. We really feel New Year's Eve and Halloween fireworks sales are two separate issues and the dates for Halloween sales should have remained as they were. As you know, New Year's Eve fireworks went off with no problems and we are hoping you can now help rectify this injustice as now Campbell River is the only city in British Columbia to have lost 4 days of fireworks sales for Halloween. Thanks for your help again! 085 BRITISH COLUMBIA August 16, 2002 His Worship Mayor James Lornie District of Campbell River 301 St. Ann's Road Campbell River, British Columbia V9W 4C7 Dear Mayor Lornie: Thank you for your letter to the Honourable Michael de Jong, Minister of Forests regarding the formation of the Tahsis Economic Development Society, that is promoting the concept of a Community Forest Agreement (CFA). I have been asked to respond and apologize for the delay. The Ministry of Forests recognizes the current plight of your community and many other forest resource-dependent communities in British Columbia and supports your community's efforts to diversify your economy. However, the potential benefits of CFAs are currently unproven and as with all forest tenures, CFAs represent a considerable investment of both time and money and are not without risk. You may be aware that this ministry is considering a new market pricing system. One option under review would require an increased allocation of allowable annual cut to auction sales. While there is no firm decision on this model, it could be selected, if it seems likely to put an end to the long-standing dispute with the U.S. regarding timber pricing in British Columbia, that is currently crippling many British Columbia forest companies and consequently, your community. If allowable annual cut does become available in your area, I encourage you to contact Ken Collingwood, Regional Manager of the Vancouver Forest Region at 250-751-7163 to discuss possible tenure opportunities. Thank you again for writing. Sincerely, Don Wright Deputy Minister Page 1 of 2 Ministry of Deputy Minister's Office Location: Mailing Address: Forests 4th Floor P.O.

Lornie Mayor District of Campbell River 301 St. Ann's Road Campbell River, British Columbia V9W 4C7 Your Worship: Thank you for providing me with a copy of your letters, and enclosures, of June 26, 2002, which were addressed to the Mayors and Councils of the Cities of Courtenay and Comox, and the Village of Cumberland, regarding the operation of the Campbell River Airport and the proposed construction of new aviation facilities at Canadian Forces Base Comox by the Comox Valley Airport Commission. I appreciate having been provided with this information and have noted with interest the progress made at the Campbell River Regional Airport since its transfer in to the District of Campbell River in 1996. I have also noted your concerns with respect to the proposed construction of an airport facility at Comox. Again, thank you for providing me with your views. Yours sincerely, Hon. David M. Collenette, P.C., M.P. 03-011 OR (97-08) Canada,IC)r, June 26, 2002 Mayor and Council < Dear Mayor and Council: RE: Canadian Forces Base - Comox and the Comox Valley Airport Commission I would like to take this opportunity to clarify the position of Council, for the District of Campbell River, in respect to the issues surrounding the Canadian Forces Base - Comox, the Comox Valley Airport Commission and the Campbell River Regional Airport. First, and of greatest importance, is the fact that we have not, nor has it been our intention, to impede the public's access to safe air transportation from the Canadian Forces Base - Comox. In fact we appreciate what the Comox Valley Airport Commission has accomplished, and as you will recallI was one of the first to publicly congratulate the Comox Valley Airport Commission on securing the services of Westjet to the North/Central Island.I believe strongly that it is a great benefit to the Island from Nanaimo north. The issue that we have stems back to our transfer negotiations, in 1995, with the federal government, where we were very candid with them, on how they dealt with the Canadian Forces Base - Comox, and our concern that the military infrastructure and operations could become a competitive disadvantage to us. This was a fundamental issue in reaching our agreement and we were assured that there would be a level playing field. As you know, the Campbell River Regional Airport is owned and operated by the District of Campbell River. Prior to our taking ownership in 1996, the federal government subsidized its operation up to $760,000 per year. In the first six years of ownership we have been able to meet our objective of a non-subsidized operation, and, in fact in 2001, ran a surplus of $82,000.This surplus was returned to an airport reserve account for future needs.The 2002 annual operating budget for our airport is $1.22 million, of which all of these dollars are generated by existing airport user fees. GIConf MayorllettersiCanadian Forces Base - Comox and the Comox Valley Airport Commission.doc Page 2 This was achieved by the District of Campbell River Council, through clear direction to staff, that the airport will be run as a separate business entity, based on a user pay principle, and at no cost to our citizens through their property tax dollars. Unlike some other communities, Dawson Creek, for example, which subsidizes its airport operation between $200,000 and $250,000 per year; we have never put local property tax dollars into our airport's operation. We strive extremely hard to continue this fundamental principle. How we have accomplished this has been well documented over the years. The user fees range from a per passenger fee, fees for taxis and limousines servicing theairport,vehicleparking,aircraftlandingfees,generalservicefees, commercial piston aircraft fees, car rental fees and commissions,as well as reduction of services. Attached for your review is the actual Airport Operation, Maintenance, and Management Bylaw for the airport. This brings us back to one of the fundamental issues of our agreement to purchase the airport from the federal government. Are we competing on a level playing field with the Canadian Forces Base - Comox, and the Comox Valley Airport Commission? Is the Commission's current lease for the base at fair market value, does it and its clients pay an appropriate rate for services provided, such as for fire service, runway snow and ice clearing, pavement maintenance, lighting, emergency power, grass cutting, flightway clearing, and so on? Ithas been suggested that with our agreement to transfer, we received substantial grants from the federal government. What has not been discussed is the fact that these were primarily operational safety projects, as an example, the runway overlay and lighting upgrade cost $2,600,000.In addition, we received funding for seismic upgrades, entrance road paving, storm water drainage improvements, landfill monitoring, security fence rehab, and other improvements. In addition, in 1997 we received an ACAP grant for the parallel taxiway costing approximately $850,000.All of those, with the exception of the taxiway, were included in the original agreement to purchase and were all essential to providing a safe public operation, and are all services provided at Canadian Forces Base - Comox, by the Department of National Defense.It is my understanding that the DND is presently putting $11millioninto a runway pavement and lighting improvement project for the airport, this year alone.The dollars put into the Campbell River Regional Airport hardly compare, but are much appreciated. The issue of greatest concern to us is not that the major goal of the Comox Valley Airport Commission is to operate and manage a modern civil air terminal on the southwest corner of Canadian Forces Base - Comox, but the fact that the federal government has been considering a multi-million dollar grant request, to assist in the construction of a new Air Terminal Building, apron, and public parking area. This "one-time only" special grant goes against the commitments the federal government made to the District of Campbell River in 1995. It appears that only Comox Valley Airport Commission meets the criteria for approval; the other BC airports are locked out.Is this the level playing field we were promised in 1995?

MAYOR CLERK DISTRICT OF CAMPBELL RIVER PLANNING SERVICES FILE: 6700 20 ZON-02-05 TO: Administrator FROM: Planning Services Manager DATE: August 19, 2002 PROPERTY: 366/380 Twillingate Road SUBJECT: Rezoning-Bylaw 2970 Recommendation: 1. That the proposal to rezone lands at 366/380 Twillingate Road described as Lot 1 and Lot 2, District Lot 222, Comox District, Plan 13919 from Residential four zone (R-4) to Residential one A zone (R-IA) proceed to Council for consideration of ls` and 2°a reading and proceed to public hearing. 2.That the agent complete a Public Neighbourhood Meeting 14 days prior to the application going forward for Public Hearing. Council Policy: Official Community Plan The property is designated as Low Density 10-25 units per hectare. Zoning Bylaw 2700 The properties are currently zoned Residential four zone (R-4) which permits: One single family residence, with or without a secondary suite One secondary residence Bed and Breakfast (maximum 2 bedrooms for guests) Proposed Zoning The applicant/agent would like to rezone the property to Residential one A zone (R-1A) which permits: One single family residence with or without a secondary suite Summary: The purpose of this Zoning amendment is to permit a four-lot strata subdivision that will have the two existing single family dwellings on the south lots fronting Twillingate Road and two newly created lots to the north for potential development of a single family dwelling on each lot with or without a secondary suite. Background: There are two existing single family homes located at 366 and 380 Twillingate Road that are 20-30 years old. I54 The subject properties are currently zoned Residential four (R-4). This zone permits an owner to have a secondary suite and a secondary residence on each of the proposed lots. Discussion: The proposed R-1A and the current R-4 zones in Zoning Bylaw 2700 permit secondary suites. The R-4 zone also permits two single family dwelling units on one lot with the second residence being limited to: 1. 90 square metres in size; 2.no more than 2 bedrooms; 3.must be architecturally compatible with the principal residence and any adjacent buildings; 4.the separation between the principal and the secondary residence must be 3 metres; 5.setbacks are 1.2 metres from side and rear yards; 6.driveway access to the secondary residence must be shared with access to the principal residence unless access to the secondary residence is gained from a rear lane; 7.height of the secondary residence is 7 metres. The owner of 366 and 380 Twillingate Road is currently permitted a secondary residence on each lot but the owner would have to construct and design each secondary residence to be architecturally compatible with the two existing single family dwellings located on each lot. It may be difficult or not in the best interest of the owner of 366/380 Twillingate Road to build secondary residences under the R-4 zoning because the two existing single family dwellings are older homes (20-30 years old), and have no redeeming architectural quality. The R-1A zone would permit the owner to construct two new single family dwellings on newly created lots without the restrictions of a secondary residence in the R-4 zone under Zoning Bylaw 2700. Conclusion: The proposed rezoning has the potential to slightly increase the density of the two lots (366/380 Twillingate Road) but it will allow the owner more flexibility in the construction and design of single family dwellings behind and to the north of the existing dwelling units. Planning Services recommends that this zoning amendment proceed to public hearing. SeanRoy B.A. M.C.P.

There are currently no easements in place to allow the problem water to be discharged to the Wayne Road storm drain system. (Wayne Road is the road immediately downhill from the subject properties.)

Council Policy: Proposed Definition for Multiplex Currently Included in Bylaw No. 2953 (ReceivedIst& 2nd Reading): "multiplex" a building containingthreeor more residentialdwelling unitseither with individual accesses or common accesses or hallways, and may includeatri-plex, four-plex, apartments, townhouses or row housing, for rental occupancy, or for common ownership in accordance with the Strata Property Act, and may also include a complex of individual dwelling unitsin the form of cluster housing. Local Government Act: Development cost charges generally 933. (4) A charge is not payable under a bylaw made under subsection (1) if any of the following applies in relation to a development authorized by a building permit: (b) the permit authorizes the construction, alteration or extension of a building that will, after construction, alteration or extension, i) contain fewer than 4 self-contained dwelling units, and ii) be put to no other use than the residential use in those dwelling units; Summary: Staff are seeking to revise the proposed definition included in Zoning Amendment Bylaw No.2953for "multiplex"to apply to four or more dwelling units, instead of three or more dwelling units as previously presented to Council. The purpose of this revision is to assist with interpretation of permitted uses in the "Residential infill" zones in Zoning Bylaw No. 2700, and for future application of the development cost charges bylaw wherein the legislation exempts requirements for payment of development cost charges at the building permit stage for a building containing less than four dwelling units. In this regard, by making the change as proposed, it will ensure better consistency between the zoning bylaw and other related municipal bylaws. Background: Bylaw No. 2953 is an amendment to Zoning Bylaw No. 2700, and already includes a series of text amendments. Bylaw No. 2953 has already received ls` and 2nd reading and been to public neighbourhood meeting, but has not yet been to formal public hearing. The Local Government Act allows for minor changes to a zoning amendment bylaw after1Stand second reading and prior to adoption, which does not affect "use or density". Change of this definition is not a change of either use or density since the H: IPaullBylaw No. 2953revision.doc 16 C;11 Residential infill zones already permit everything from single family residential up through and including multiple dwelling units. It simply changes what we refer to as a multiplex. Discussion: Including this amendment to Bylaw No. 2953 will not affect "use or density", and is therefore appropriate to include it at this stage so that it can be presented to the public at the public hearing. Conclusion: It is staffs' recommendation that the revisions to the definition proceed to ensure better consistency between the zoning bylaw and other related municipal bylaws, and that the changes also be presented at the upcoming public hearing.

V9H-1T3 phone 250-286-1340 fax 250-286-1380 This letter was written by Corinne Skuse of 4737 Gordon Rd. Corinne was unable to be here tonight, and she has asked me to read this letter on her behalf. To City Counsil and all residence of Campbell River. I wish only to state some FACTS, and let you come to your own conclusion of these events. 1)Fact: For the entire year, Eagles and other birds have been dropping decomposing fish waste on my propery from Renuable Resources. 2)Fact: These fish parts have also been dropped on other area residences from the start of Duncan Bay Rd to half way up Gordon Rd. 3) Fact: Neighbourhood dogs have been retrieving and rolling in this putrid fish waste. 4)Fact: On August 16th 2002 my twelve month old puppy Keeta regurgitated putrid fish that was found on our property. Four hours later Keeta was showing signs of limping in her back legs. Two more hours later Keeta was paralyzed, she came down the stairs on her belly with her legs out behind. She was rushed to the Veterinarians office and X-rays were done as well as blood tests. The Vets were baffeled as all tests proved her to be completely healthy. Keeta's only symptoms were paralysis and excessive salvitation and drooling. 5) Fact: Botulism: This is a rapidly fatal motor paralysis is caused by ingestion of the toxin of Clostridium botulinum. The organism proliferates in decomposing carcass tissue. Botulism is an intoxication, not an infection, and results from ingestion of toxin in food. The signs of Botulism are caused by muscle paralysis and include progressive motor paralysis, disturbed vision, difficulty chewing and swallowing, and generalized progressive weekness. Death is usually due to respiratory or cardiac paralysis. 6) Fact: Keeta died on Aug 19th at 2:30am, than 65 hours after ingestion of fish. My conclusion is that the domestic animals, and wildlife in our area could be in great danger, if this is not investigated further. Botulism is FATAL, there is no cure. What if this should happen to a child? The bears that are currently feeding daily at Renuable Resources could be at danger, this needs to be investigated.

The goods must be kept separate from goods for sale. The goods shall be open for inspection for the purpose of identifying stolen articles during business hours. Must not purchase or receive articles between midnite and 0600. Police may require longer periods of detention by dealer. -May not take goods from another dealer unless the 30 day detention period has expired unless recorded in his/her reports also. -Requires that records not be erased or removed without written consent of police. -Violations dealt with by means of a ticket. -Violations may result in suspension of business license and/or a ticket. The funnelling of stolen goods through pawnshops/second hand dealers is a serious concern for 2 police in this community. This proposed bylaw is an attempt to strike a balance between the legitimate interests of the business community and the victims of property crimes. The request for the 30 day holding period for used goods is to accommodate: - the reporting of stolen goods (many houses are broken into while the residents are on vacation) - the obtaining of serial numbers (often homeowners/victim's have to research the serial numbers of stolen goods from their insurance company or from the point of purchase) and to notice what all is stolen. - allow time for staff to be in place to physically check all the serial numbers forwarded to our office from the second hand dealers, and for the delivery of that data from the dealers. - if stolen goods are sold or returned to the person who pawned them, it becomes necessary for the police to get a search warrant to recover the stolen goods. This takes at least two or more hours to get the warrant, then the subsequent search requires even more man hours. Unfortunately the history of some of the Pawn Shops and second hand dealers has been one of continued non-compliance with the current bylaw and/or sloppy record keeping. By way of example I have attached several of the sheets which are forwarded to our office. Please note that they are undated. Further on at least two occasions police have discovered stolen goods in second hand/pawn shops where the serial number was not recorded correctly (either inadvertently or intentionally). The end result of this is that stolen goods continue to be sold through pawn shops and second hand dealers. Because the records are often not accurate, police officers are now in the position that will have to attend the pawn shops on a regular basis and to verify serial numbers and run them through CPIC on a ROADS terminal while on site. This will take considerable resources and will no doubt effect the police ability to make a timely response to some calls, although it will be necessary to stop the flow of stolen goods through these outlets. One pawn shop has instituted a computerized system of tracking received goods and the sellers of those goods. Although this superficially sounded like a good system, in practise it has not been very effective. The actual reports submitted by the operator of the system, are frequently incomplete, unspecific and vague, without serial numbers. These discrepancies result in an inability of police personnel to query the goods reported on the police computer known as IPORT or CPIC. IPORT is a computerized system used to query stolen goods where a serial number is unknown but can locate items by other distinguishing marks or descriptions.Further this computerized system of the pawn shops involves taking a computerized photo of the seller at the time of the sale, but the operator has elected to use it only at the time of the first sale. This has resulted in stolen goods being sold through pawn shops where the seller simply gives a last name without providing any identification. One example involves a notorious thief in Campbell River selling a stolen vacuum cleaner after giving a last name only. It turned out the thief's brother's name was on the computer and the goods were entered in his name, not the thief's. Further investigation by this officer, also turned up a stolen lawn mower sold to the pawnshop by the thief's brother. The only reason this was discovered at all was because an alert police officer, while enroute to another call, noted the thief carrying a vacuum cleaner into the pawn shop. Finding it suspicious, she inquired at the pawn 3 shop and a serial number check revealed the vacuum cleaner to be stolen during a burglary. A lawn mower pawned by the thief's brother also was stolen. The serial number on the pawn shops registry for the lawn mower was not correct so an actual inspection of the item was necessary to identify it as stolen goods.She also noted that the name was wrong on the computer system for the seller of the vacuum cleaner, even though there was a photo of the thief's brother on file which was used to register the sale of the vacuum cleaner, not the lawn mower. D.H. SMITH, Cpl. Supervisor/Investigator Campbell River R.C.M.P. Major Crime Unit Thank you, Mr. Nash For letting me convey my concerns and problems about Renewable Resources. As / am a minority involved in such a wide range community concern from; a business and concerned citizen I am wondering if Mr. Morton has had any formal training in composting fish offal ( which are fish guts and remains). My concern is after a period of time the quality of waste deteriorates-H2S generation may be a major concern which in turn becomes a safety hazard ( toxicity, flammability). I have outlined just a small portion of after effects of not composting properly. What about the massive wildlife attraction caused from the disgusting odor. What about the liability of bears walking around in the industrial park. Our own personal problems have been outlined in this letter. I have on numerous occasions tried to find help whether it has been from the Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection, Pollution Prevention Technician, and Ministry of wildlife. Nobody wants to address this massive problem. Thank you for your time. District of Campbell River File: 4010-20BYLA June 26, 2002 Yorel Properties Ltd 4051 Midport Road Campbell River, B.C.

(604) 286-5760 Re , Renewable Resources Ltd. 4001 Middle Point Road Campbell River, B.C V9W 5T9 Dear Ms. Jacquie Tarasoff Following our discussion yesterday,1 now write you this letter, as per requested .It is with great frustration that I send you my thoughts and facts pertaining to Renewable Resources Ltd. On March 13,2002, my wife and I were pleased to purchase the property next to Renewable Resources Ltd. , where we know own and operate two companies : Yorel Properties Ltd. and Kurt LeRoy Trucking Ltd. , and my father 's business : Ted LeRoy Trucking Ltd. My wife and I have two small sons, and are not only experienced professionals committed to our family - run businesses but are also loving parents dedicated to raising our children in the safe community of Campbell River . Between the companies Kurt LeRoy Trucking Ltd. and Ted Leroy Trucking Ltd.they employ over fifty families in the Campbell River area. Our sole purpose in purchasing this land was to maintain our trucks and equipment efficiently as well as having a central marshaling yard so the drivers wouldn't have to take their trucks home to their own neighbor - hoods. Our previous site for our business was not sufficient enough as neighbors complained of the noise etc ...The last week we have been actively at our new site on Midport road and our drivers hesitate to leave their trucks there do to the damaged caused by the birds( enclosed are pictures of equipment left outside for one day ) It is common knowledge that if the birds feces sit on paint for more than a few hours the acid from the feces cause bubbling and perment damage .We would hate to see another business move across the street especially one in the service industry where customers are constantly coming and going having to worry about their vehicles getting permanently damaged . When we purchased the aforementioned property in March , we were aware of the fish composting site next door .What we were not aware of, however , is the extent to which this business would affect our livelihood . In spite of the three acre vacant parcel of land separating our property from that of Renewable Resources , the seagulls,vulture,eagles,bears and numerous other rodents that are drawn to the stench of the malodorous heap are also destroying our property. This is a huge concern for us . This does notonly discouragepresent and future clients from coming to visit ourcompany'ssite, but also poses a safety concern for our employees, Last week, for example, a black bear came right up to our building in the middle of the work day and put our staff at danger. This is a liability no one should have to worry about. These stinking carcasses of fish, out in the open air , unconfined , make the site look more like a garbage dump rather than a professional recycling company. Being directly involved with logging camps up and down the coast of B.C., we arewell aware of the laws against unrestricted garbage.It is our responsibility to ensure that any of our garbage does not attract wildlife !

PO Box 625 Campbell River BC V9W 5T9 I Dear Steve Morton. Thank you for meeting with regional Environmental Protection staff on August 12, 2002, to discuss odours from the composting facility. As discussed, composting is encouraged provided it is carried out in a safe and environmentally responsible manner and in compliance with the Waste Management Act Composting can be an important part of achieving waste reduction by increasing diversion of organic matter from being a waste to a resource, and improving soil quality and plant growth- As you are aware, numerous odour complaints regarding the composting facility have recently been received. A copy of recent odour incident reports has been provided to you. Regional Environmental Protection staff inspected the composting facility on August 8 & 12, 2002. On August 8, 2002, weather conditions were sunny with a strong wind generally from the south- On August 12, 2002, weather conditions were sunny with a strong wind generally from the north. A strong unpleasant odour was smelled on-site on both inspections. The main source of the odour was the turning of the compost windrows- Another source of odour was un-covered fish waste. You indicated that the most recent compost turning began on August 5, 2002, and that recent unusual strong and variable winds and hot weather have exacerbated odours. You expect to finish turning the compost by August 16, 2002. Section 1.1.8 of Permit PR-15082 requires that the composting windrows be insulated with a minimum of 15 cm of cured compost to act as a biofitter, section 1.1.9 requires that the works be operated in a manner so as to control vectors and odours; section 2.3 addresses upgrading of facilities; section 2.6 addresses wildlife nuisance. Pursuant to sections 1.1.8, 1.1.9, 2.3 and 2.6 of Permit PR-15082, 1 hereby require the following- Effectiveimmediately,upon receipt of fish waste, all fish waste must immediately be mixed with woodwaste bulkingagent,incorporated into the compost windrows, .._/2 Ministry of Vancouver island Region Mailing Address: Telephone: 250 751.3100 Water, Land and Air 2060A Labieux Road Facsirntla:250 7513103 Protection Nanamo BC V9T 6.19 AuG-Ib-oJe w'qb eKUPtit.L£'I V t K ;CnMr L.u LI Steve Morton, President - 2 - August 16, 2002 and covered with a layer of cured compost sufficient to prevent wildlife attraction and access. An odour management plan must be submitted to the regional waste manager by September 30, 2002 The odour management plan must stipulate how air contaminants from the composting facility will be discharged in a manner that does not cause pollution, and must be certified by a qualified professional as defined in the Organic Matter Recycling Regulation. Previous communications indicated our concerns regarding odours and wildlife attraction. The large size and infrequent turning of the compost windrows may be causing anaerobic conditions in the windrows and exacerbating odours during turning of the compost. Smaller windrows and more frequent turning (during appropriate weather conditions) may help to maintain aerobic conditions in the compost and reduce odours. Additional directions may be provided pursuant to the permit and theWaste Management Act_ You are reminded that section 1.1 of the permit specifies the quantities and types of materials that may be composted_ Section 3.1.2 specifies compost sampling and analysis requirements. Pursuant to section 2.9 of the permit, I hereby require that the compost be classified and used in accordance with the Organic Matter Recycling Regulation. The Organic Matter Recycling Regulation (OMRR - available on the world wide web at httpl/www.qp.gov.be_c.alstatreg/reg/W/WasteMgmt(l8 2002.htm) was promulgated in February 2002. 1 understand you are investigating upgrading options for the composting facility to satisfy the OMRR. These upgrading options may include a roof over the composting facility, static aerated compost plies, and biofilters for odour control.I also understand you are working with the District of Campbell River regarding leachate pre- treatment prior to discharge into the district's sanitary sewage system. I am supportive of your efforts to upgrade the composting facility and encourage you to continue them. Considering the local government and community sensitivity regarding the facility, I suggest it is in your best interest to expedite these efforts. Please keep us informed of related developments. If you have any questions or wish to discuss upgrading of the facility to satisfy the OMAR, please contact Bernie Mackay, Compliance Officer at telephone 250 751-3195. B.W.
