Supplementary Agenda PLANNING COMMITTEE: 300 - 4545 Lazelle Avenue Terrace, B.G. Friday, June 25,20'10, commencing at 4:00 p.m. SUPPLEMENTARY AGENDA 1. Report from Administration, dated June 24,2010, re: Withdrawal of Application for Development Variance Permit No. 80 - 421 Kalum Lake Road, Terrace. 2. Report from Administration, dated January 25, 2010, re: License of Occupation for Commercial Recreation Kitamaat Village and Douglas Channel. 3. Report from Admlnistration, dated June 25, 2010, re: Land Use Application Status Report. Information Only: To: Planning Committee From: Administration Date: June 24,2010 Re: Withdrawal of Application for Development Variance Permit No. 80 - 421Kalum Lake Road, Terrace This is an application for a Development Variance Permit (DVP) for property located at 421 Kalum Lake Road in North Terrace. The property is legally described as Block 1, District Lot 1702, Range 5, Coast District, Plan 1086' Except 11795. The variance was required because the property owner had proposed to build a carport addition on to the front of the house that will encroach 2.09 feet (0.63 meters) on required 25 feet setback from the front propefty line and road right of way Plan 11795. On June 22nd, the property owner, Mr. Carrita, informed Regional District staff that the survey plan submitted earlier with DVP No. 80 had the proposed carport positioned incorrectly on the plan. He submitted a revised survey plan showing the correct orientation and location of the carport which would now be able to meet the required 25 feet setback from road right of way Plan 11795. Since a variance is no longer required for the proposed carport he has withdrawn his application for DVP No. 80. See attached revised survey plan. Recommendation: That no further action be taken on DVP No. 80 as the requested variance has been withdrawn by the applicant.

The applicant is Kitamaat Village Council and the application is for commercial recreation including nature based tourism activities, wilderness and adventure tours (hiking, canoeing, jet boating) wildlife and nature viewing within Haisla Traditional Territory. Regional Board consideration and recommendation to ILMB is requested. The application is a License of Occupation for 5 intensive use sites (cabin sites), a bear viewing platform, walking/hiking trails, canoeing using a traditional 36ft. canoe and jet boating. Project description prepared by the Kitamaat Village Council is attached for information. The proposal is for adventure tourism incorporating Haisla culture, heritage and tradition through a variety of commercial recreation opportunities. From the base of operation in Kitamaat Village, the intent is to provide economic opportunities for Haisla and the area. The proposal presented as the "Haisla Traditional Territory Tourism Project" plans to offer nature based adventure tourism incorporating existing trapline (and other) cabins and trails. The project is described as a summer operation (May to September). Tours would be for half day or multiple days with lodging options of either cabins or the Kowesas Lodge at Chief Matthews Bay. Groups are proposed to be small with a maximum of 10 guests. Sites within the Douglas Channel area will be accessed by boat from either MK Bay Marina or Kitamaat Village. The proposal includes both existing trails that would be upgraded and new trail plus existing cabins/lodge and some new cabins are also proposed in the future. List of both extensive use and intensive use sites is included in the attached project description. 1. Mt. Elizabeth cabin and trail - east of Kitimat, existing trail, cabin is proposed in the future (3 or 4 years time) near the top of the trail. 2. Wathlsto Creek trail - trail south from Kitamaat Village, traditional trail follows foreshore. 3. Hugh Creek cabin, trail and bear viewing - Devastation Channel north of Weewanie Hot Springs existing cabin at the creek mouth, existing bear viewing platform and trial. 4. Weewanie Creek cabin and trail - existing cabin near the mouth of the creek 5. Paril River cabin - Gardner Canal, existing cabin located near the mouth of the river 6. Kowesas Lodge, trail and canoe route - Gardner Canal in Chief Matthews Bay, existing lodge and trail system. The proposal is for low impact eco-tourism (hiking, nature and wildlife viewing) and establishes Crown land tenure over existing trails and cabins. With the exception of Kowesas Lodge in Chief Matthews Bay (Kitlope Conservancy) the cabins will be small un-serviced shelters approximately 16ft. x 20ft in size. While a License of Occupation tenure (over the trails outside lR land) does not generally provide exclusive use, the proponents in the attached project description are requesting exclusive use of the cabins and bear viewing platforms. The proposal submitted acknowledges that there are other commercial recreation interest and other tenure holders within the application area. The proponents indicate that they will contact other tenure holders and where feasible offer to work with them by combining business opportunities. Likely because the sites under application are outside the District of Kitimat municipal boundary they did not receive the ILMB referral. The Regional District forwarded a copy of the referral to the municipality for information. salient points provided by their Planning Department noted that (1) for clarification purposes mapping submitted with the proposal should include the municipal bound ary (2\ Mount Elizabeth trail is well used and a dominant landscape feature and the cabin should be sited with consideration to potential impacts to existing views (3) trails should remain available for public use/access and the cabins also available in emergency situations perhaps under a compensation policy. Generally the Regional District has been supportive of low impact commercial backcountry recreation (eco-tourism) proposals in the region. Previous Regional District comments on similar proposals have expressed the need to address environmental issues with development, the interests of other/existing tenure holders and ensuring that ILMB provide opportunity to the appropriate First Nations to provide comments as a condition of approval. Recommendation: 1. No objections provided that any environmental issues and potential conflict with other tenure holders are addressed and the trails on the Provincial Crown land remain available for public use. 2. Forward the comments provided by the District of Kitimat regarding this application to the Integrated Land Management Bureau.

    "Day Trips in British Columbia" Realizado por : Cityseeker 20 Ubicaciones indicadas Vancouver "City of Glass" The coastal city, Vancouver is the third-largest metropolitan area in Canada. A town was first founded on this site in 1867 when an entrepreneurial proprietor built a tavern along the water. Since then, towering skyscrapers have grown to dominate the skyline like glittering pinnacles of glass backed by mountains dusted with snow. The vast by Public Domain sprawl of Vancouver is centred around downtown's glimmering milieu of towers. From here unfurls a tapestry of neighbourhoods, each with a distinct character of its own. Kitsilano's beachfront is defined as much by its heritage homes as its pristine sand, Gastown hosts the city's indie culture. Wherever you go, you'll encounter a menagerie of sights to attest to Vancouver's culture-rich soul. Independent art galleries abound alongside swathes of public art, while Shakespearean shows intermingle with a blooming live music offer. There's plenty for outdoor enthusiasts as well, and this is one of the few places where you can ski down a mountain, go kayaking, hike through the forest and lounge on the beach in the same day. At the end of it all, there's a sumptuous array of international restaurants, home to some of North America's most authentic Asian cuisines, fantastic farm-to-table dining and soul-stirring seafood creations; not to mention an extensive list of top-notch craft breweries. All this and more makes Vancouver the crown jewel of British Columbia. +1 604 683 2000 (Tourist vancouver.ca/ [email protected] Vancouver, Vancouver BC Information) Victoria "A Cosmopolitan City With English Verve" Originally established as a fort for the Hudson's Bay Company back in 1843, Victoria was long known as the most British city in North America.

  • The Birth of the Great Bear Rainforest: Conservation Science and Environmental Politics on British Columbia's Central and North Coast
    THE BIRTH OF THE GREAT BEAR RAINFOREST: CONSERVATION SCIENCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS ON BRITISH COLUMBIA'S CENTRAL AND NORTH COAST by JESSICA ANNE DEMPSEY B.Sc, The University of Victoria, 2002 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA July 2006 © Jessica Anne Dempsey, 2006 11 Abstract This thesis examines the birth of the Great Bear Rainforest, a large tract of temperate rainforest located on British Columbia's central and north coasts. While the Great Bear Rainforest emerges through many intersecting forces, in this study I focus on the contributions of conservation science asking: how did conservation biology and related sciences help constitute a particular of place, a particular kind of forest, and a particular approach to biodiversity politics? In pursuit of these questions, I analyzed several scientific studies of this place completed in the 1990s and conducted interviews with people involved in the environmental politics of the Great Bear Rainforest. My research conclusions show that conservation science played an influential role in shaping the Great Bear Rainforest as a rare, endangered temperate rainforest in desperate need of protection, an identity that counters the entrenched industrial-state geographies found in British Columbia's forests. With the help of science studies theorists like Bruno Latour and Donna Haraway, I argue that these conservation studies are based upon purification epistemologies, where nature - in this case, the temperate rainforest - is separated out as an entity to be explained on its own and ultimately 'saved' through science.

  • Huchsduwachsdu Nuyem Jees/Kitlope Heritage Conservancy Management Plan
    Huchsduwachsdu Nuyem Jees/ Kitlope Heritage Conservancy Management Plan May 2012 Haisla Nation Huchsduwachsdu Nuyem Jees/Kitlope Heritage Conservancy Management Plan Approved by: Huchsduwachsdu Nuyem Jees/Kitlope Heritage Conservancy Management Plan Plan Highlights The Huchsduwachsdu Nuyem Jees/Kitlope Heritage Conservancy is collaboratively managed by the Haisla First Nation and the Province of British Columbia through the Kitlope Management Committee. Henaaksiala/Haisla1 cultural values and natural processes will prevail within the conservancy. In the longer term, a Henaaksiala/Haisla cultural centre, built in traditional longhouse style, will provide a place for visitors to learn how Haisla identity is unified through a spiritual connection to the Huchsduwachsdu Nuyem Jees. The cultural centre will exhibit traditional and science- based practices. It will provide shelter, welcome and warmth for visitors to this remote watershed. A key recommendation of the management plan is to encourage and establish research and interpretive programs that utilize traditional ecological knowledge and science-based research to contribute to understanding the ecosystems of the greater coastal area and to inform management practices. The conservancy provides a world-class learning ground for combining scientific research with traditional ecological knowledge, leading to complementary approaches to resource management. The management plan encourages cultural and ecological tourism as well as boating, camping, hiking and fishing. A few developed trails will provide an opportunity for visitors to explore the high country as well as the landscape along the inland waters adjacent to the cultural centre. Haisla Paddlers at Tenth Anniversary of the Decision to Protect the Kitlope 1 Throughout the management plan there will be many references to Henaaksiala and to Haisla people.

  • Fjords! (Especially the Kitimat Fjord System)
    Bangarang February 2014 Backgrounder1 Fjords! (especially the Kitimat Fjord System) Eric Keen Abstract Fjords are awesome, and sometimes there are whales in them. This raises some questions: First of all, where do fjord babies come from? (Some Great Ice Cream Scoop in the Sky???) Why should we care about them? (Where to begin?) Where in the world do they happen? (A Goldilocks temperate zone and it’s perty too!) Why are British Columbia’s fjords the best? (If you’ve ever visited them you wouldn’t be asking such stupid questions.) What do you know about the fjords of the Gitga’at Territory and the Bangarang study area? (Ah, the Kitimat Fjord System! Where to begin?!) Contents Introduction Defined Worldwide British Columbia The Kitimat Fjord System Physical-Chemical Oceanography Freshwater Input Circulation Estuarine Wind-Driven Tidal Features Property Distribution Vertical Structure Horizontal Structure Seasonality Other Properties (pH, DO, nutrients) Deep & Bottom Waters Sediments Literature Cited 1 Bangarang Backgrounders are imperfect but rigorous reviews – written in haste, not peer-reviewed – in an effort to organize and memorize the key information for every aspect of the project. They will be updated regularly as new learnin’ is incorporated. 1 Introduction Due to the complexity of their ecological space, coastal waters comprise some of the most diverse and productive marine habitats on earth (Levin & Dayton 2009). This high biodiversity is the cornerstone of lucrative fisheries, tourism industries, and innumerable ecosystem services, including nutrient cycling, nursery habitat, food web support, carbon sequestration, and tourism revenue (Turner 2000). And yet, while the health of coastal waters is the most economically valuable and easily monitored of marine systems, they are also among the most endangered (Gray 1997).
