Last night the public hearing was held and next steps are to schedule a council meeting for 3rd reading (1st and 2nd reading were approved December 14 2020). Based on the board resolution attached, can you let me know if the SRD requires anything else or if there is new information that needs to go to the board for discussion? Since the letter, we have received the following information: ‐ The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy states that they have ‘received in a form and manner acceptable to the Director’ the wastewater treatment and discharge proposal (received November 2 2020). ‐ The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure requires ‘the developer construct a deceleration/right turn lane for the northbound right turn vehicles’ (received September 11 2020). ‐ Approvals for the private water system will come at subdivision stage. This is all a new process for me, so please let me know if anything needs to go back to the board for a resolution, if that is the case I will hold off on scheduling 3rd reading for Council, thanks, Meghan Meghan Norman, MCP, MCIP, RPP Senior Planner Development Services City of Campbell River Direct: 250‐286‐5748 Email: [email protected] Please note: To reduce the spread of COVID‐19, when visiting a City facility, please follow all posted safety procedures.
