Dear Mayor and Council: I am researching a paper on the effect trade agreements are having on Canadian public policy. My paper will form one of twenty-eight chapters in a volume on Canada, Free Trade and Deep Integration in North America, to be published by McGill-Queen's University Press. The paper willexplore the impact of the agreements (including the Agreement on Internal Trade, GATS and NAFTA) on public services, including municipal services, and whether the agreements are encouraging greater integration with the United States and into the global economy.

Your Council was one of dozens of Canadian municipalities that passed a resolution on the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GAYS).I would be interested in your comments on the following questions:

Why did your Council pass the motion on trade agreements?

Are you aware of any examples, in your community or province or in other jurisdictions, of public policy being affected by the agreements? (an example would be amunicipality expressing concern about contracting out services because of the agreements, or attempting to frame contracts to avoid or harmonize with the requirements of the various agreements.I would also be very interested in any examples of any level of government amending or declining to pass bylaws, statutes or regulations because of apotential trade agreement challenge.) 2

Are you aware of any trade challenges?Are you aware of any examples of local governments or other agencies being advised by private sector companies or organizations that a policy, bylaw or regulation is inconsistent with the trade agreements. Do you know if your provincial/territorial government regularly vets policy and legislation to ensureitisconsistent with the service provisions of NAFTA (North America Free Trade Agreement), and GATS (General Agreement on Trade in Services)?

Does your municipality regularly vet policy and legislation to ensure that consistency?

Are you aware of any other effect of the trade agreements upon public policy at the local, provincial or federal level?

The Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) is an interprovincial agreement with some provisions similar to the international trade agreements.What are the impacts of the AIT on your municipality?

I thank you in advance for any assistance in this matter.

Mayor Lynn Nash District of Campbell River 301 St Ann's Rd Campbell River, BC V9W 4C7

It has been just over a year since you joined the Council of Resource Communities of B.C.

During this period, CORC has been actively dealing with the Provincial Government on a variety of issues that affect our resource-dependent communities.

We have also developed a comprehensive information service for you our members, that includes newspaper and radio clips on resource issues.

Our membership has grown to 36 members over this first year and we hope to double that number this year.

As you know only too well, our resource communities and the Provincial Government continue to face major challenges. The recently published Baxter Report, pointed out the fact that over 80% of our economy comes from these communities. CORC is dedicated to being a direct voice on specific resource- related issues for these communities.

Our Co-Chairs have met with Ministers and MLA's in Victoria and around the province on forestry, mining, tourism, transportation, energy, and aquaculture issues.

Sound regular communications is a prerequisite for good government and to this end, Premier Campbell encouraged us to develop a consultation process which involved regional meetings with Mayors and MLA's. Reports, action plans and recommendations from these meetings were then presented by our Co-Chairs to Ministers and governmentCaucus members. MLA Walt Cobbhas beenthe point man in this process. Further consultations will be held over the coming months on specific follow-up action plans. Your input, advice, ideas and suggestions are encouraged and may be made through your regional Co-Chair.

We believe that the Government is on the right track in trying to develop our economy while maintaining a fair balance between economic, environmental, and social issues. We are encouraged by their willingness to meet and consult with us on our ideas and the solutions put forward by us.

To help us continue and further these initiatives we ask that you renew your membership in CORC. Your renewal form is attached herewith.

We have enclosed a membership renewal form, along with the notice of our Annual General meeting on Thursday, September 24 in Vancouver, during the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention.

If you have any questions, please contact Bruce Rozenhart, our Executive Director (Phone: 604-638-0868; Fax: 604-893-8827; E-mail: rozenhart ac,counterpointcom.com). Or contact any of our regional Co-Chairs.

We appreciate your support and look forward to hearing from you.

CORC is a network of BC resource communities that depend on natural resources for their economic and social well-being.

Natural resources include forestry, (pulp, lumber, added-value), mining, agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries, tourism, recreation and related businesses.

CORC supports an environmentally responsible approach to sustainability, based on the "three-legged stool" or "triple bottom line" principles: economic, social and environmental-

CORC's vision is to ensure that resource communities continue to contribute in a substantive way to British Columbia's future.

CORC's Mission is to work with local, regional, provincial, and federal governments,as well as with FirstNations, labour,business, non- governmental organizations and community-based organizations to enhance the economic and social well-being of all our communities and hence the economic health and prosperity of our province.

CORC is supportive of National Forest Management standards such as ISO, CSA AND SFI, and is currently working on FSC standards.

CORC is supportive of balanced land-use planning throughout British Columbia.

CORC originated the idea of a multi-million dollar campaign to promote British Columbia woodproducts and forestry internationally and both the NDP and Liberal governmentsagreed. The Liberalhas committed the funds to this initiative under the B.C. Market Outreach initiative.

CORC believes that such a market outreach initiative should also aim at increasing our tourism potential by publicizing the incredible beauty of Supernatural British Columbia.

CORC is managed by a Steering Committee of our five Co-Chairs, and by the input and advice of our members.

The Council of Resource Communities of B.C. has continued to deal with economic issues facing resource communities in rural British Columbia. In the past few years, we encouraged the B.C. government to be more responsive to resource community concerns, and for the most part, they listened.

Most recently, the Premier asked CORC and the rural MLA's to work together on seeking opportunities to enhance the "Heartland" economy. The Premier appointed Cariboo South MLA Walt Cobb to act as the manager of this project in conjunction with CORC. In May, 2003, the five CORC Co-Chairs held informal regional meetings with CORC members and other Mayors to discuss achievable initiatives that could be undertaken in the short term to improve the rural economy. Over 60 Mayors participated in this initiative, along with a number of regional MLA's.

Issues and opportunities identified in these regional meetings were brought forward to a meeting between MLA's, Ministers and the five CORC Co-Chairs in May to set forth overall rural B.C. economic priorities that resource communities and the government could work on together over the next three to six months.

The future of forestry, including the implementation of new forest policies, the resolving of the Softwood situation, the reconstruction of Coastal forestry and preparing for the impacts of these issues more proactively with communities was the top issue.

The future of tourism and enhancing aspects associated with it, such as adequate access to lands, integrated transportation strategies, legislation for snowmobiling and ATV's, sport fishing, market outreach and other initiatives were identified as key needs. Air, rail and road transportation were identified as key areas for improving economic opportunities.

Economic diversification was identified as a critical issue as well such as looking for more opportunities in enhancing mining, different types of aquaculture, power supply, and coalbed methane. Power availability and transportation were identified as key elements to enhance economic diversification opportunities.

In view of resource communities serving as the major suppliers of workers, goods and services, the need for resource communities to share in the revenues emanating from their regions was also identified as a key priority. Finally, the marketing of B.G. as a place for tourism, investment and business development - and the marketing of B.C. products were also seen as priorities. We are now proceeding to develop steps to accomplish these priorities with the B.C. government this month. Next month, we will begin to develop regional action plans with regional Mayors and MLA's that will see the government working more closely with resource communities on "do-able", short term projects.

We are hopeful that we will see action plans being implemented beginning in the late summer of this year. 3RIT1SH COLUMBIA ouncil of Resource Communtesi do Suits 1200 - 355 Burrard Street Vancouver, B.G.

To Mayor Lynn Nash and Council,

Hello I hope this note find you well and enjoying the summer holidays. The Paramedic Academy invites you to join us as our Paramedic Level I students from the Campbell River Training Region graduate on September 14th, 2pm at the Regional Training Center, 2660 Dunsmuir Ave, Cumberland. The Justice Institute of B.C. is a dynamic, post-secondary learning organization recognized nationally and internationally for continuous improvement and innovative education. Our unique provincial mandate encompasses education and training in the areas of criminal and social justice, public safety and social services making British Columbia's communities safer places to live. Each year the JI's distinctive educational co-op model attracts people from across Canada and throughout the world. In 1980 the Paramedic Academy was formed at the JIBC to deliver training province-wide to the BC Ambulance Service. Since then the Paramedic Academy has trained all paramedics to various levels of certification, including emergency medical dispatch and manager training, and more recently, on-going professional development in the form of continuing medical education. In November 2000, the Paramedic Academy's opened its Campbell River Regional Training Service, located in Cumberland. The Campbell River Region Training Service, one of 15 established throughout BC, was established to improve access to paramedic training for the communities of Sayward, Cortez Island, Quadra Island, Campbell River, Gold River, Tahsis, Courtenay, Cumberland and Denman Island. The current students are graduates of the Paramedic Level One, a program requiring hundreds of hours of in-class, independent, on-car and in-hospital training. A training commitment at this level is demanding for the staff and students alike many who are single parents and hold second jobs. We hope you and your council members are able to attend. I would be delighted to forward further details of the agenda, particularly if you are attending and would like to say a few words of encouragement to the graduates.

Phone # 923®3466 Revised: Aug 20, 2003 Meeting re: Willows Hotel Centenary 23 July 2003, Campbell River Museum

In Attendance: Lesia Davis Exec Dir. C.R. Museum, Jeanette Taylor, Exec. Dir CR Art Gallery, Mary Ashley, Councillor and Morgan Ostler, Councillor

This meeting was called in response to a note from Jeanette Taylor, regarding a big celebration that took place in Campbell River on the 50th anniversary of the Willows Hotel. The museum apparently has a photographic record of the anniversary celebrations

On July 1, 1904 the Willows Hotel was officially opened. (The first hotel had burnt and was rapidly rebuilt) The above group met to discuss ideas for celebrating this event on the 100th anniversary..It was determined that the event was significant in Campbell River's early commercial history. It was the only major business in the area and essentially marked Campbell River's emergence/birth as a future commercial centre.

Records show that the community celebrated the 50th anniversary of this event with a 1st July, 1954 parade Our ad hoc committee agreed that the 100th anniversary should be celebrated on July 1, 2004. It could be incorporated in to the Canada Day celebrations.

Some proposals... Name suggestion: A Centuaryof Business Willows 100 Ask Lt. Gov. to attend the kick-off for Canada Day with special focus on the historical significance of the Willows anniversary

Ask Chamber of Commerce to take a leadrole in planning these celebrations as it's a commercial event

Ask the C.R. Arts Council to consider using Willows Hotel history as a theme for their Street Banner project

A broad cross section of organizations in town could take up the 100th anniversary theme including the Children's Festival, the Museum and Art Gallery and the Tidemark Speak to David Mielke about resurrecting his play on the history of Campbell River.

The Willow Pub/Pioneer Hardware/Thulin family may want to sponsor the celebration

Send letters out to all appropriate community groups asking them to become involved. Report submitted by Morgan Ostler, Councillor DISTRICT OF CAMPBELL RIVER ADMINISTRATOR File No.: 0570-60 STPL

TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Administrator DATE: August 20, 2003

SUBJECT:2°d QUARTER STRATEGIC PLAN 2003 REPORT

Recommendation:

That Council receive the2'"Quarter Report on the progress on the 2003 Strategic Plan.

Background:

The new Council created its 2003 Strategic Plan over the weekend of January 17th & 18th, 2003. The major focus was on pushing the economy of Campbell River forward.There were four Corporate priorities set by Council: Airport Strategy; Major Industry Attraction; Ensure District's interest in six-acre foreshore site; Optimization of economic interests in the region.

The Airport Strategy has seen the successful acquisition of Helijet into the community; the District's interests in the six-acre foreshore site are under negotiation between the Province, the Federal government and the Campbell River Indian Band and are moving to conclusion and the District has moved forward with amalgamation plans for Merrill & Ring properties on the north of the community and the satellite amalgamation of Quinsam Coal as part of the "Optimization of Economic Interests in the Region".As well, because the Merrill & Ring amalgamation proposal surrounds Race Point, the Province has directed that we meet with the Race Point residents and discuss with them the opportunities for amalgamation within Campbell River. The major industry attraction priority is being handled by Rivercorp, with an aim to have studies ready for the fall for Council review.

Under Operational priorities, work has progressed on all eleven priorities.These eleven Operational priorities are: Community Charter Middle Point Barge Facility Cruise Ship dock development 2003 Financial Plan CR Indian Band Self-government Sewer Forcemain/Seawalk Extension Major Road Network Plan Enhanced Water Treatment Plan 621 Maritime Heritage Centre Official Community Plan Review Cheviot School - Capital Business Plan

Page l of 2 2NDQUARTER STRATEGIC PLAN 2003 REPORT PAGE 2

An interim self-government agreement has been signed with the Campbell River Indian Band.Negotiations are ongoing for a long-term agreement.Meetings over the sewer forcemain along the Island Highway are to be held in September. A Major Road Network Plan is underway.The Cruise Ship Dock development has seen near success on two occasions this year with regards to Cruise Ships docking in Campbell River, but until the necessary capital works for the dock improvement are in place, Campbell River is limited in its ability to get Cruise Ships to make us a Port of Call. On a positive note, our initiatives have borne fruit for the region in that the activities of Tourism North Central Island has seen the Cruise ShipThe Worlddock in Tahsis. So, for the region our efforts are paying off. The 621 Maritime Heritage Centre is moving towards completion and has being successful in getting stage II approval from the SICEAI program.

Halfway through the year, in reviewing the Plan, work is progressing well on all facets.

File: 6610-01 OCPRM TO: Administrator FROM: Planning Services Manager DATE: August 12, 2003 SUBJECT: Summary Results of the Public Meetings for the Official Community Plan Review

Recommendation: That Council receive this report and attachments for information.

Council Policy: 2003 Operations Priorities: Community Services Division Official Community Plan Review

Summary: Planning Services have initiated a program to review and update the existing Official Community Plan (OCP). The current OCP was prepared during the mid-90s, and adopted in 1997. To date, a "Community Profile" has been prepared by outside consultant services to look at demographic characteristics of the community. Staff have also completed internal reviews to assess strengths and weaknesses of the current document, plus divided the District into eight separate planning areas for the purpose of holding information-seeking public meetings to obtain feedback from the public. A series of public meetings were held between May 21 and June 11, 2003 to briefly summarized the current OCP policies, describe the current opportunities and constraints, and to obtain feedback from the general public to assist in moving ahead with new land use policies for each area.

Background: A series of attachments related to the public meetings are attached to this report for Council's information, including: - the notices of public meeting to identify the geographic location of the planning area for each meeting; - the minutes and attendance list for each public meeting; - a report submitted by consultants on behalf of the Silver King Lodge and in support of allowing the lodge to remain at it's current Tyee Spit location (planning area 6); and - a large petition in support of allowing the helicopter use to remain at it's current Tyee Spit location (planning area 6).

The following is a brief summary of the results for each public meeting that was held:

Areas 1 & 2 - held May 21, 2003

Would like to see higher densities in and around the Willow Point business area, which would actually serve to assist in revitalization of business area. Wanted improvements to the Highway through Willow Point, but not a four-lane highway.

P: (Applications - PlanningDCPIOCP ReviewlReport to Council.doc 8/12/2003 v Wanted sidewalks along the highway through the business area, but did not want the seawalk extension along the ocean side through either the business area or in the Ocean Grove area (they prefered to see the seawalk continue along the highway where the ocean-side housing starts, then cross the highway at Jubilee parkway to connect with other greenway loops). Other considerations included: omaintaining current policies for greenways loops, and bike paths; ocontinuing with streamside area and other environmental initiatives; oconsideration of other "smart growth" initiatives, such as alternative development standards.

Area 3 -held May 28, 2003

Concerns were raised over programs to address needs for storm water management and increased traffic if area develops to the densities currently allowed. Associated with concerns over environmental impact of allowing development to densities already permitted in the OCP and Zoning Bylaw. Concern about redevelopment of Willis Road resulting in it becoming a new truck route through the area. Concerns raised over rebuilding of shake mill on north side of Willis Road, and with lSt nations developing commercial/industrial lands on the west side of the new highway. Limited feedback obtained on the subject of current pressures for service commercial/light industrial at Willis near the new Highway. Other points raised in favour of seeing continuations of the greenways policies and extension through the Nunn's Creek area.

Area 4 - held May 29, 2003

Group of oceanfront property owners expressed opposition to extension of the seawalk in conjunction with the sewer line force main project i.e. from Hidden Harbour condo to the Maritime Heritage Centre. They don't want public access to their properties. Owner of one of the commercial properties along the existing seawalk would like ability to open a coffee shop and ice cream business on the ocean side of the Highway. No feedback received regarding commercial centres at Merecroft Plaza or along Dogwood Street near2ndAvenue. Very little feedback obtained over existing infill/intensification policies in this area.

Area 5 - held June 4, 2003

Concerns were raised over existing land use conflicts in the Campbellton area, poor aesthetics, lack of incentive to upkeep residential properties, etc. However, all felt best long-term interest was to see continued conversion of existing older residential properties to commercial/industrial. Support for clean up north of Campbell River and adjacent to the Estuary.

Area 6 - held June 11, 2003

Questions were raised about whether proposed improvement to the docks involved any dredging of the ocean bottom.

Page 2

P: (Applications - Planning\OCP1OCP ReviewTeport to Couracii.auc Owners of lodge and helicopter businesses on the Tyee Spit both made lengthy presentations in support of their continuing to operate their businesses on the Spit. i.e. reports (lodge) and petitions (helicopter) provided. Much support for encouraging multi-family residential in the downtown. Wanted "shops" on both sides of Shoppers Row. Better pedestrian links between downtown, the docks and the Tyee Spit. Mixed use commercial/residential support for District owned property adjacent to Banners Restaurant. Support for floating structures/business in the foreshore i.e. seen as "character" uses and added "tourist attractions". Also discussed potential for height increases and zoning flexibility in the downtown to attract redevelopment.

Area 7 - held June 5, 2003

Much support for maintaining the existing semi-rural character of these areas; OCP policies call for too much infill that will never happen. Did not see the need for reconstruction of road areas to full urban standards with curb and gutter. Comments were received for more improved parkland, improvements to the school, and the possibility of combined a community centre with the school. Concern about encroachment of commercial development on vacant land between Holly Hills and the existing commercial adjacent to the Highway (which is Planning Area 5).

Area 8 - heldMay 22, 2003

Wanted ArgonautRoad to remainprimarilyrural, but consideration given to allowing lot sizes down to 2.5to 5.0 acres(all ALR now). Much concern about environmental protection for watershed area. Do not want more boats on John Hartand Mclvor Lakes. Do not want any houseboats on these lakes. Watershedboundaries should be expanded, and no more development(no furthersubdivision) allowed. Need for DPpolicies on industrial lands. Discussions about notallowing furtherexpansionsof thelandfill, & policies toencourage RDCS to relocatelandfill. More control of land clearingaround Mclvor Lake.

Discussion: The feedback obtained at these public meetings is part of the information that staff will use to assist in the preparation of new draft policies for the OCP. Some of the issues that have come forward at these public meetings and as part of the staff review that require furtherconsideration,include: 1.The current OCP has a lot of good intent and goodideas,but needs to be more concise and strategically focussed; 2.The new OCP needs to better balance environment and economic concerns. In this regard, the current OCP provides for very strong greenways initiatives, which are positive and should be continued,but provides little direction for new economic-relatedgrowth.Infact,the current OCP discourages industrial uses, which were historically permitted in the Campbellton area, without providing opportunity for alternative areas for these uses to relocate to. Further consideration needs to be given to opening up new service commercial and industrialareas,including long term potentials in the vicinity of the airport;

P: (Applications - Planning\OCPIOCP ReviewtReport to CounciL aue 3.Not all areas desire the kind of intensive infill development envisioned under the current OCP, and some areas such as Quinsam Heights, Painter Barcley, Holly Hills, and existing stable residential areas in the central part of the District should be revisited; 4.Areas such as Campbellton and north of the Campbell River (planning areas 5 and 7) are transitional areas and include a number of historical land use conflicts. These areas will require policy and development permit guidelines to sensitively ease the transition to commercial and industrial uses. 5.Some of the neighbourhood plans and comprehensive development area plans are outdated or have been subject to minor changes. In this regard, the Quinsam Local Area Plan is outdated and should be reviewed to, at minimum, bring it into consistency with current OCP designations and zoning. Previous amendments to the OCP and zoning have taken place in Penfield West without corresponding revision to the comprehensive development plan (for the commercial nursery). Other pressures are being received for minor changes to a number of the comprehensive development plans, including Georgia Park, Maryland Estates, Penfield West, and the Nunn's Creek Area Road and Greenways Network Plan. 6.Some of the uses on the Tyee Spit should be given reconsideration in light of the submissions on behalf of the Silver King Lodge and existing helicopter operations. 7.Commercial area policies need to be rationalized with the downtown continuing to be the primary area of focus. 8.Future extensions of the seawalk should be re-visited at a policy level, particularly through the Willow Point business area and further south to the Ocean Grove area. 9.Policies in the District's watershed area should be re-visited in light of concerns for protection of the drinking water supply.

Further to the above, staff are currently in process of working with commercial area land owners and retailers to review existing commercial area polices, plus in process of setting up other similar working groups for industrial areas and environmental concerns.

Conclusion: Staff will be using the feedback obtained plus feedback from other working groups to assist in preparing new draft OCP policies. In the interim, staff are waiting for the outcome of a couple of large projects recently consulted out by Engineering Services and related to the Watershed Area and to the overall Long Range Transportation Network Plan, which will provide valuable information for this review.

Mr. Arnie Linder Date Director of Community Services 301 St. Ann's Street August 8, 2003 Campbell River, B.C. V9W 4H9

Dear Mr. Linder:

RE: Crime Statistics 2nd Quarter - April - June 2003

Please find attached the District of Campbell River crime statistics for the 2nd quarter of the year 2003. In our 1st quarter report we expressed a concern that due to a number of known criminals returning to our community Campbell River could expect to see an increase in criminal activity. As you will note in this report that prediction has been validated with a number of areas showing a dramatic increase in criminal offences. Of most significance is our total criminal code offences which rose +24% (3432 reported offences in the first half of 2003 and 2763 reported offences in the same period of 2002) The period from April 01 to Jun 30 this year had an increase of +153% in reported criminal code offences in comparison to the first three months of the year. As one can surmise, our officers were considerably busier with calls for service in April, May, and June in comparison to January, February, and March. This dramatic increase in demand for police services has taxed our policing resources. Our officers are spending a considerable more time in responding to calls versus investigating offences. This has had the effect of reducing our ability to solve crime which is evident in our overall clearance rate dropping from 34% in the first half of 2002 to 23% for the first half of 2003. On the bright side, we have been successful over the last few months in apprehending a number of active criminals which we believe is starting to show positive results in crime trends.

PERSONS OFFENCES

Reported sexual offences continue to be on the decline with a decrease of -34% for the first half of 2003 in comparison to the same period last year. As you may recall, this years first quarter statistics indicated a 72% drop over a similar period for 2002. Our total reported sexual offences to date are 25. Our total persons offences saw a decrease of -3% which represents 296 offences this year in comparison to 305 offences reported for the same period last year. Last year we had reported that our offensive weapons offences had been increasing at an alarming rate.This years first quarter statistics indicated that our offensive weapons complaints were starting to reduce and we are pleased to report that this trend is continuing

QIriIdI RCMP GRC 2823 (2002-11) WPT 071 with a further reduction of -21% in this reporting period, 34 offences this year in comparison to 43 last year.

BREAK & ENTERS

Our total property offences, which includes B&Es, theft of vehicles, possession of stolen property, frauds, theft from vehicles, etc. indicates a significant increase of +22%. Our total break and enters saw a modest increase of +3% going from 289 offences for the first half of last year to 297 in the first half this year. Statistically, business B&Es saw a reduction of -15% but to fully understand how crime trends can vary it is interesting to note that the month of June saw an increase of +150% in this area, going from 6 reported in June last year to 15 this year. Our biggest increase in B&Es was seen in reported residential offences with an increase of +15%. This equates to 178 reported offence for the first half of this year in comparison to 155 last year for the same period. Again there appears to be a trend towards increased activity in B&Es as June statistics indicate a +67% increase over the same month last year. DRUGS

Our drug investigators continue to be very busy with a +57% increase in related offences to the end of June this year in comparison to the same period lastyear.We have had 255 reported offences this year while 162 were reported for the same period last year. Our clearance or solve rate for drugs is 65% which indicates that the majority of drug files are self- generated by the officers. The vast majority of drug associated complaints that are received from the general public relate to people reporting active drug houses in their neighbourhood. The trafficking in cocaine continues to show the highest increase in activity at +144%, 66 offences this year in comparison to last year with 27 reported offences. The statistical information for the production of marihuana also indicates an increase with a rise of+16%, 22 reported offences this year verus 19 reported offences for the same period last year.

TRAFFIC

Our overall traffic collisions for the first six months of this year saw a marked increase of +31% over the first six months last year. Our officers investigated 297 motor vehicle accidents to the end of this reporting period in comparison to 226 for last year. We have a +16% increase in reported impaired driving offences, 267 this year compared to 231 to last year. Our traffic enforcement remains essentially unchanged over last years second quarter report with 2233 offences.

OTHER OFFENCES

During this last quarter we experienced a significant increase in offences in several other areas. Some of the more obvious areas include: theft of vehicles which has increased +45% over last years statistics for the first half of the year (109 offences report to date in 2003 versus 75 in the same period in year 2002), theft from motor vehicles has risen +34% (413 reported offences in the first half of 2003 versus 308 in the same period in 2002), shoplifting is up +64% (159 reported offences in the first half of 2003 versus 97 in the same period in 2002), wilful damage increased +42% (332 offences in the first half of 2003 versus 233 in the same period in 2002), disturb the peace complaints have risen +40% (327 offences in the first half of 2003

Cmacta RCMP GRC 2823 (2002-11) WPT 072 Page 2 of/de 3 versus 234 in the same period in 2002) and mental health act occurrences increased +139% (91 calls for service in the first half of 2003 versus 38 for the same period in 2002).

CRIME PREVENTION

Cst. Paddock officially left our detachment in June and his position was filled by Cst. Banks. We trained 5 regular members and 3 auxiliary members for bike patrol duties. We started the patrols near the end of June and concentrated our efforts in the downtown area and designated high crime locations. Unfortunately, we have had one of our members go on long term sick leave which has caused a reduction in scheduled bike patrols. This has been necessary to ensure that we are able to maintain our first responder capabilities.

Citizens On Patrol continues to be very active and have expanded their mandate to include volunteer participation in our "Growbusters" program. COPS will distribute information pamphlets to neighbours when our members are conducting a residential search for a marihuana grow operation. COPS is also preparing to form special teams to assist our investigators in situations where volunteer assistance would be appropriate and helpful.

Our DARE program was very successful for last years school term. We trained over 500 students through out the year. We will be identifying 2 more officers for training to become DARE instructors. We are in the stages of preparing to have a full program up and running for the fall school term.

As a point of interest our detachment is still working towards a community restorative justice program and we are continuing to pursue obtaining 3 first nations officers through a tripartite agreement. Our Victim Assistance program continues to be very busy and are in the process of training new volunteers.

Dear Mr. Linder:

Re: Strategic Plan Report - Period Ending 03-06-30

Part of our strategic plan requires that we provide the District of Campbell River council a bi- annual update concerning the progress of our strategic priorities. The following information is therefore provided for council's review.

At the beginning of the year 2003 our strategic planning committee met to review the results of our strategic objectives for the year 2002.It was noted that we had made some excellent progress in certain areas and that most of our objectives (performance measurements) had been met. Some of objectives, however, were not met and a more in depth analysis was needed to find alternative solutions.Part of the review process incorporated assignments to committee members to go back to the community and assess the public perception of how we did in our 2002 strategic plan. Committee members were also to obtain information to update our environmental scan. Numerous community groups were canvassed for input as well as the detachment members and staff. We were pleased to hear that the public generally feels that our policing service has been improved and that our work has made a difference. Of those who provided in put to our survey, it is apparent that the our client base continue to believe that the same concerns and problems as identified in our 2002 strategic plan, should be the focus of our 2003 strategic objectives. These objectives being:

1) Substance Abuse/Drug Trafficking 2) Property Crimes 3) Traffic Law Enforcement

It was therefore, adopted that our detachment strategic priorities should remain the same as last year. The committee then reviewed the previous years action plans for each objective. Several new strategies were incorporated into the plan and members were assigned to oversee and report on the actions. The 2003 strategic plan was updated and officially adopted as the detachment roadmap for the coming year. The plan has been presented to the District of Campbell River and a copy of all the updates given to the detachment membership and Island District Office.

Canada RCMP GRC 2823 (2002-11) WPT 2

Strategies in Progress/Completed

The detachment members continue to work with the District of Campbell River employees and the provincial electrical inspector in addressing grow ops in our community. This has been a very valuable relationship and we will continue to promote it's use in future operations.

In relation to grow ops, we have also added the "growbusters" program which is used whenever our members execute a drug search for marihuana cultivation. The program utilizes community volunteers to distribute information pamphlets to the neighbours surrounding the residence being searched. A sandwich board sign is also placed in the front of the target residence notifying those in the vicinity that a marihuana grow search is presently being conducted by the police.

2) Our detachment members continue to visit probationers to confirm that those with curfews are in compliance with probation orders. This has been very effective in keeping convicted criminals off the streets at night.

3) We continue to target high crime areas with extra patrols. The locations of these areas are also provided to Citizens On Patrol who regularly schedule their members to be in the area.

4) The sharing of information is a key element in the battle against crime. We have key persons in place in the detachment who collect intelligence on the criminal element and then ensure that this information is shared with detachment personnel. The news media is also used on a regular basis to inform the public of crime trends in the community.

5) We recently trained 5 regular members and 3 auxiliaries for our summer bike patrols. This program is in full swing and will remain functional as long as resources permit.

6) There are numerous other strategies that are continuing to be worked on and will be subject to reports at a later date.

Sincerely,

To: All drinking water suppliers in British Columbial

The B.C. government is committed to ensuring safe, reliable and accessible drinking water for all British Columbians. I know this is a goal shared by the province's drinking water suppliers. I am therefore pleased to notify you the amended Drinking Water Protection Act and regulation came into force May 16, 2003, replacing the Safe Drinking Water Regulation of the Health Act. Withthe newlegislation,government is meeting its New Era commitment to improve the quality of B.C.'s drinking water. The changes establish a comprehensive, co-ordinated framework for protecting the province's drinking water from "source to tap." While the majority of British Columbians already benefit from high-quality drinking water, improvements are necessary to ensure public health is protected and public expectations for safe, clean drinking water are met. A vital part of our Action Plan for Safe Drinking Water is new legislation. Overall, the new act and regulation increase basic expectations for assessment, certification, monitoring and reporting. In addition, they strengthen and clarify oversight and accountability. Improving standards at all levels of water supply better protects B.C.'s drinking water. The newlaws areoutcome-based,rather thanoverly prescriptive. Withthis approach, water suppliers and drinking water officers can determine the most appropriate way to address potential concerns in a particular water system. We are making sure British Columbians enjoy safe, clean, healthy drinking water in a way that is as effective, efficient and reliable as possible. Health regions are currently developing their new administrative frameworks. When fully implemented, each health region will have a primary drinking water officer responsible for administering the Drinking Water Protection Act and regulation. During the transition period, medical health officers will act as interim drinking water officers until other health officials are formally appointed to these roles. Health authorities will ensure interim measures are in place to address day-to-day needs and you can continue to work with the same public health inspectors, environmental health officers and public health engineers. Our action plan builds on an evolving drinking water program, and while you may already be meeting the requirements of the Drinking Water Protection Act, it is likely you will have several new responsibilities as a water supplier, including the following: Your drinking water officer may instruct you to assess the needs of your system and develop an assessment response plan. All water suppliers will undergo a thorough assessment, but existing inspections may constitute that assessment. Assessments required under the Drinking Water Protection Actcover source water, treatment, distribution system and operation. Guidance documents for assessments and response plans are currently under development. The assessment requirement acknowledges the need for flexibility in smaller systems. Your drinking water officer will contact you with further details. ..2

I TheDrinking Water Protection Actdefines a water supplier as the owner of a domestic water system supplying drinking water to anything other than a single-family residence. This includes very small water systems, such as those that supply a single business or several residences (a water users community) by well or creek.

Ministry of Office of the Minister Mailing Address: Health Services Parliament Buildings Victoria BC V8V 1X4 -2-

Your system must be classified by the Environmental Operators Certification Program (EOCP)and operators certifiedaccordingly.An implementation phase will accommodate training of staff. Training for operators is available through a number of organizations, but is separate from certification. You should contact the EOCP as soon as possible at: Environmental Operators Certification Program 219 - 3823 Henning Drive Burnaby BC V5C 6P3 Phone: 604 874-4784 Toll Free: 1-866-552-3627 Fax: 604 874-4794

Water suppliers are responsible for ensuring water samples are taken according to the operating permit and tested by an approved lab. Laboratories must phone both the drinking water officer and you, the water supplier, when test results show the presence of fecal coliform bacteria or E. coll. You will need to ensure labs have current contact information when providing samples.

A public report on your emergency response plan, water monitoring results and any assessment or assessment response plan you have been required to develop must be prepared and made available to your water consumers. Details of the information to include, and how the report will be made public, will be provided by your drinking water officer.

We recognize these requirements are an increase in government's expectations of water suppliers. However, they are necessary to provide safe drinking water and instill consumer confidence in the safety of the water they drink. Many water supply systems, particularly smaller ones, were not always in compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Regulation and, without changes, will have difficulty in complying with the new Drinking Water Protection Act. Please be advised that the tolerance shown to non-complying systems in the past will not be afforded to systems in the future.

It may be necessary for smaller system owners to pool their resources or consider amalgamation with larger systems to meet some requirements of the new legislation. Where upgrades are required, we encourage locally developed solutions that meet health standards and take into consideration the economic impact on affected communities. The outcome-based approach of the regulations will allow more flexibility to find workable solutions. There are many other provisions in the legislation to ensure drinking water is protected from contamination and delivered to consumers in a safe manner. Please familiarize yourself with the Drinking Water Protection Act and regulation and your responsibilities as a water supplier. Copies of the act and regulation are posted at www.healthplanning_gov.bc.ca/protect/water.html, as well as information on the new legislation and Action Plan for Safe Drinking Water.

RESTORATION OF FISHING VESSEL GAINS AWARD Awards 200 The Museum at Campbell River is a winner of an Outstanding Achievement award in 2003 for the restoration of the wooden cod fishing boat, "Soyokaze."

The 36' wooden double-ender was built in 1939 by the Kishi boat works in Steveston, the fishing village on the Fraser River that is now part of Richmond.and named "Soyokaze", meaning "gentle wind" in Japanese. Shigekazu Matsunaga was the first owner, and he fished with it in local waters until he and his family were interned received from both the provincial andfederal during world war two, when his boat was millennium programs, and the Vancouver seized and sold off. Following the war, Mr. Foundation. A Job Creation Partnership Matsunaga moved to Campbell River; there with Human Resources DevelopmentCanada he eventually was able to repurchase the provided skilled labour. Soyokaze in 1957, and fished with it for a further 30 years. The restoration crew had to work fromjust one historic photograph.Further information After Mr. Matsunaga died, in accordance came from Mr. Matsunaga'sfamily, and with his wishes his family offered his boat, others who knew the boat.

Dear Mayor and Council,

This letter is to provide you with information on an ICBC campaign.

"Show Your Support for a Safer Community".

The results of the recent Saanich Safer City questionnaire indicated driver behaviour, especially speeding and aggressive driving, as the main road safety concern for residents of the Municipality of Saanich. Speed and aggressive driving is a concern in all communities on Vancouver Island.

Between September 2nd and September19th we are askingresidents and representatives from elementary schools to help us raise awareness of speeding and to highlight areas of concern in their neighbourhoods. We are supplying bright yellow lawn signs with the messages"Please slow down" and "Please stow down. School zone." Participating groups have been informed the signs are to be placed on private property and do not block existing signs or sidewalks etc. We have asked for the signs to be returned to the ICBC contact upon conclusion of the campaign.

If you have any questions please contact Don Corder, ICBC Loss Prevention Coordinator for more details.

Yours sincerely

Questioned the planners about increasing the allowable density in the Willow Point area. Mentioned the Ken Ford, Adams Road, Erickson Road and Dalton Road areas as possible locations for additional density. Stated that by increasing the allowable density in this area would provide money for the redevelopment of Willow Point in general and it would provide a larger market for the commercial sector in the area. Wanted to have density in the Dalton Road area behind the commercial area in Willow Point. Stated that he would like to see South Island Highway 19A remain the same as it is today. Would not like to see the highway improved to a three-lane road system with sidewalks on both sides because

Page 1

PAApplications - Planning\OCP\OCP Review\Plan Area 1 and 2\Areo 1 and 2 Public Meeting Minutes.doc it would ruin his property and quality of life. Stated that Campbell River does not need another Dogwood Street. Does not want Highway 19A to be a four-lane highway in Willow Point. Upgrade is okay, but not a major expansion of the road width. Felt that the expansion of the Highway would destroy the "feel" of the area and force the residents out. Stated that he wasveryconcerned about the proposed plans to construct and extend the Seawalk from Hidden Harbour to Willow Point on the Oceanside. He is very concerned that the Seawalk will be constructed between his home and the ocean and that it will affect his quality of life and property value. Does not want to see the expansion of the sea walk to extend around the ocean side of Willow Point. Instead, he would like to see the connection to be made along an upgraded Hwy 19A (attached letter). Concurred with Joe Larche about the sea walk. Would rather see people just use the inter-tidal area not a dedicated trail. Open consensus that a trail could be routed along the upgraded Hwy to achieve the connectivity between the existing trails on either side of Willow Point. Stated that the extension of the Seawalk should not be constructed in front of private homes. The existing Seawalk is adequate and that no extensions are needed. The handicapped have access via existing Seawalk to the waterfront and that was adequate enough. The South Island Highway 19 A does not need to be improved to a three-lane arterial. She stated that the extension of the Seawalk should not be constructed in front of private homes on the waterfront and would like the District to clean up the mess (garden) at the mouth of the Willow Creek. She also stated that the Willow Point Area desperately need and requires sidewalks along the highway in Willow Point There is no waterfront access for trail around Willow Point The Highway needs upgrading from Larwood to Hichey Agreed with Fran's comments and reiterated the point that the proposed extension of the Seawalk should only be constructed on the Highway side of private homes along the waterfront. Stated that the Willow Creek mess referred to by Fran Jones is not a mess at all, but rather an attempt to improve the fish habitat. She also stated that the Seawalk is a great alternative for persons in Campbell River to use as a pedestrian link to the downtown core and is an alternative means to the automobile. Helps lessen traffic congestion on the Highway in Willow Point. She stated that she hopes to see the District of Campbell River develop a greenways loop or network from Willow Point to downtown in the OCP. Park at Willow Point should be kept. There is a bike lane/ pedestrian access route identified for Galerno Road but there is nothing on the road itself identifying it as such. Bike maps indicate that Galerno Road is a bike route, however, there is no indication on the ground as to it being a bike route. What is needed is some paint in order to mark it, or some signage. (Therefore, cyclists and drivers would see the bike route and then it could get more use.) She stated that it is imperative that the District of Campbell River establishes pedestrian access routes to the downtown core. She asked Paul Stanton on whether or not he would be including `Smart Growth' planning initiatives in the development of the OCP and also asked if the Planning staff was going to develop an impervious surface bylaw as part of the OCP? SMART GROWTH strategies should be implemented Concluded by asking if the Planning staff intended to protect environmentally sensitive areas and streamside areas in the OCP? Streamside initiatives should continue to be pursued

Page 2

P:\Applications - Planning\OCP\OCP Review\Plan Area 1 and 2\Area 1 and 2 Public Meeting Minutes.doc Asked if there was going to be an infill strategy developed in the OCP? Infill strategy to reduce sprawl should be carried through. Asked what the definition was for resource industrial in the existing OCP? Asked why the Sportplex/Willow Point Park area was identified as Greenway in the existing OCP? Map errors, colouring and consistency between maps was an issue. Asked for some consistency in map colours for the OCP and Zoning maps. She stated that the District should be standardizing their map colours. More map errors, colouring and consistency between maps was an issue - confuses public and limits the amount of meaningful input. Should create standardized maps and consistency in colouring between types of maps (i.e. the residential colouring should be the same between the OCP and zoning maps) Asked if the Jubilee Heights proposal is being completed outside of the development of the new OCP? It is vital that the District create commercial/retail policy for the south end that will protect the Willow Point Commercial Area. As long as the District keeps allowing more commercial land to be developed in the south end you would only continue to degrade the downtown core. The District stands to lose 15 to 20 million dollars in lost commercial activity in their downtown core if this trend continues. Therefore impacts District income and business owners The Jubilee Parkway development (specifically the commercial/retail portion) should not be approved by Council until the new OCP is completed and commercial policy is developed on commercial activity in the District. It should be delayed until the OCP review is complete. The continuing expansion of commercial land does not promote re-development of the existing commercial areas already established in Campbell River such as Willow Point, Merecroft and the Downtown Core. Asked if Planning staff are going to be amending the text along with the mapping in the OCP? She asked what the next steps are in the process? Is there a set outline for the development of the OCP Concerned about the process - will there be a text and map review later? What is the process? What is the time frame? She would like to see the overhead wiring go underground in the Willow Point area Ensure that the District carries on the maritime theme developed for the ultimate design for all new development and redevelopment in Willow Point. The District pay for the development of sidewalks in Willow Point and develop them as soon as possible rather than have money spent elsewhere. Ken Ford Park concrete will go and be replaced with wood pillars and rope Themed signage will come forward Waterfront acquisition is positive When the District buys homes through the Parks Acquisition Fund, they should be demolished, NOT RENTED, and put to the intended use of parkland or open public space for which they were purchased. District's policy of buying and renting homes does not work. These homes are bought for park and they should be turned into park. Stated that she has been involved in a number of public consultation campaigns and the general consensus in the District of Campbell River is that the public is very much in favour of the development of Greenways. The Greenways Land Trust has a number of different design options for a Greenway Network development in Campbell River. Tourists love to walk along the Seawalk and the numerous Greenway trials in the community. Supporting and developing new greenways would bring money into the community. Greenways loop favoured. Greenways Land Trust Map provides options for rerouting the greenway around Willow Point, as they are a positive reinforcement of the economy The District needs to identify these greenways trails on maps and provide these maps at various locations Page 3

P:\Applications - Planning\OCP\OCP Review\Plan Area 1 and 2\Area 1 and 2 Public Meeting Minutes.doc throughout the District at the entrances to these trials. Stated that mapping for the Willow Point Watershed is available to the public through the Greenways Land Trust The Jubilee Parkway development will impact the retail development- redevelopment potential in the Willow Point area. She stated that the timing for this development proposal should be deferred until the new OCP is completed because it will bleed Merecroft and Willow Point commercial areas dry. She stated that our economy has not come close to being able to support and accommodate any new commercial development proposals of this magnitude. Local economy simply is not strong enough to support an increase in commercial space. Asked the Planning staff if they were going to include policies relating to the Agricultural Land Reserve properties in the District of Campbell River? Concerned over the strength of the ALR boundaries in containing growth Compliments on the open format of the meeting. This concluded the meeting at 8:52 p.m. Notes taken by Sean Roy, M.C.P., Planner, and Patrick Marples, M.E.Des, Planner.

Is this plan going to be looking at what is going to be developed on the Indian Reserve Lands on the west side if the Inland Island Highway on Willis Road? Concern was raised over density and its environmental impacts. Asked if there is presently a big need for development in Campbell River? Stated that he realizes that his comments do not apply to the planning area under discussion at this meeting, but outlined that he was opposed to the development of the Seawalk on the Ocean side between Washington Drive and Ocean Grove. Stated that there needs to be pervious surfaces to reduce the high volumes of runoff in the District. Stated that if the District continues to advocate for impervious surface materials that they could be facing a potential flooding problem with the high densities proposed for the Quinsam area. The is a need for engineered detention areas to reduce the flushing effect of storm water runoff in the District. Asked how the District was going to accommodate all the traffic that will come into this area with the densities proposed by the Zoning Bylaw. In 1993, the ERT road was proposed to be a collector road - will this right of way ever be opened up again for local traffic?

Asked where the detention ponds are going to located along the proposed Willis Road connector. Outlined that all of the ditches and creeks north of Willis Road used to be tributaries to Nunns Creek wetland area. Asked why the Willis Road connector was so important. Explained that the proposed high densities in the Quinsam area would promote a land use system that would possibly reduce greenhouse gases. Phil Skognes explained that there is a problem with infrastructure in the Quinsam area but it is the small diameter connecting lines not the mains. All the mains are in place and are readily available for infill development. As for the Willis Road connector, Phil explained that there is a real need for an East-West Connector in this area to accommodate the potential grow in the next twenty years and to improve the transportation network of the District of Campbell River. Stated that area on the north side of Willis Road at the intersection of the Inland Island Highway id not conducive to Industrial development. Asked what happens if this building was to bum down again? Stated that the area residents wished to have residential development at the Willis Road and Inland Island Highway area. Stated that is this Willis Road and Inland Island Highway area is going to be a major intersection, then their should not be a problem with service commercial or light industrial land use. Is Willis Road proposed to be a two-lane or four-lane roadway? Is the Willis Road going over or across the ERT Road? Is the District going to acquire the land along Shetland Road to Barry Browns property that was rezoned? Does the latecomer fee apply to all the residents that currently live on Shetland Road? There was an article in the newspaper outlining Willis Road as a possible truck route for Campbell River. This will increase the noise pollution in the area and is the District going to construct privacy fences down the Willis Road right-of-way? Phil Skognes identified that the privacy fence issue will be dealt with under the Transportation Network Plan slated for completion at the end of 2003. Where do we go from here in the OCP process? When we were consulted for the existing OCP we encouraged greater setbacks from Creeks and other sensitive areas. Is this going to happen under the new OCP? Has the cost of developing come down from the past rates? Are you going to involve the public in the condensing of the text for the new OCP? The people who currently live on Old Peterson Road are experiencing big problems with water pressure. Is this going to be improved? Phil Skognes outlined that Peterson Road is slated for improvements and these improvements will help the water pressure problem on Old Peterson Road. What is the Plan for Peterson Road? Phil Skognes outlined that there is an engineering firm in place and Peterson Road will be improved to an 1 I metre roadway with sidewalks on both sides. Concern raised over zoned density and its environmental impacts. Concern about the impact of First nations developing service commercial, light industrial and residential west of Highway 19. Concern that the zoned high densities in Quinsam resulted in a question of whether or not we need to plan for that much development. A contingent of five (5) Willow Point/Ocean Grove residents:

Page 2

P: Applications - Planning\OCPIOCP ReviewlPlan Area 3 1Plan Area 3 Meeting Minutes.doc Formally requested that the seawalk not be located on the ocean side of their property, but would be open to the idea of it being routed along Highway 19A; Were concerned over the issue of increased storm water run-off into their properties from newsubdivision.They wanted to know city policy and if the developers were legally responsible. Concern raised that an increase of density in Quinsam will increase the amount of pervious surfaces and exacerbate the existing problems with storm water run off. Therefore,he felt that the use of impervious surfacing would help alleviate this potential problem. Concern that with the current zoning the densities in the Quinsam area could cause the west side of Nunn's Creek to go the way of the east side - that is see an increase in the loss of fish habitat and the directly resulting loss of fish fry. Issue rose over the zoned densities creating too much traffic congestion in the area. Maybe the ERT Road could be reopened to offset any increase in traffic congestion. Concern about location of storm detention ponds and if land was to be expropriated for their construction. Concern about the further loss of the headwaters of Kingfisher and Nunn's Creek ecosystems to non-environmentally sensitive development. Concern about how planned road alignments for collector and arterial roads were to be designed: Are they going to be too wide; Are they going to be curbed and guttered; Will they have open ditches; Will there be alternative designs? Follow-up concern that with the increased traffic will be an increase of greenhouse gasses. Map clarification of the Ri-I zone-what does it mean? Issue about the existing Mill being allowed to operate at the Willis Road interchange. They felt that residential with perhaps some highway commercial would be better. C. Cornfield follow-up that previously the local residents were offered some highway commercial in thearea,but rejected it in favour of residential. Follow-up concern over whether or not First Nations will be allowed to get their service commercial, lightindustrial,and residential in the area of the Willis Road interchange. Paul explained again that the District does not have the jurisdiction to dictate that outcome,but may entertain the expansion of services out to the reserve in conjunction of industrial growth for the District on the west side of Highway 19. Follow-up clarification about the Willis Road ERT intersection: Will it be blocked by the construction of Willis Road; Or will it be able to incorporate the ERT into a future reopeningof the ERTas another arterial route. Follow-up concern about higher density straining existing road infrastructure and clarification about latecomer agreements. Concern over whether the Willis Road interchange will become a truck route and increase noise levels. What are the next steps in the OCP process - will the District be following a similar process as the last OCP review. Assurance wanted over the continuation of large setbacks and large protected tracts of Nunn's Creek was going to be continued in this OCP. Clarification wanted over what are the differences in the newDCC bylaw. Concern about the low flow rates on Old Peterson Road: Especially during a fire! What will the upgrade of Peterson Road do to alleviate this issue? When is Peterson Hill going to be upgraded?

General (5 person delegation) issue about routing the sea walk along the Oceanside of Willow Point. Will the walkway be constructed on the Oceanside from Discovery Foods to the Ken Ford Park? (Out of the Planning Area). Explained that many residents along the Oceanside on Highway 19A are opposed to the force main sewer extension. The proposed walkway along the force main on the Oceanside is not needed. It will create a security/safety issue in the area. Force main should be in the water and buried. Concerns about how the District would maintain the walkway and whether it would be storm proof. Highway 19A should have a bike lane developed on it to allow pedestrian movement in this area. Very opposed to the construction of the Seawalk along the force main right-of way. Asked if it was the District recommended policy to extend the Seawalk along the Oceanside? Stated that the District has already got sidewalks in the area that provide excellent views, so why should the tax payer have to spend extra money to replace a fine sidewalk with the Seawalk? Asked the Planners why the Engineering Firm hired by the District know more about this Seawalk project than the Planners for the District do? Stated that the landowners in the area have an acting lawyer working for them and they have riparian rights. He stated that the Engineering company had talked to him about expropriation.

If there is a policy in the District to protect the Oceanside then the District should be following there own policy.

016 Stated that Council looked has looked at two different development options for the proposed force main. One was to construct on the Oceanside and the other was to construct along Highway 19A. The Oceanside development proposal was identified by staff as the best option. He stated that District Council was still flushing out the options but the project is advancing. Residents don't want public access to their property. Don't' want people accessing the sea walk through their property. Don't want roller bladders and bikers on the walk. Don't want juvenile delinquents bothering them. I live right across from a piece of land that the District bought as park. It is one of approximately 30 pieces along the waterfront that the District owns. The buy these places and they do not maintain the property whether it is a park or a rented house. Asked the Planning staff how the proposed walkway will be policed? Belief that the police are wrong about the basic principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) Stated that he currently has a major problem with the wood and debris coming up and over the rip rock into his yard every time we have a storm in the area. Stated that this will happen to the Seawalk. Wanted to see policies put in place to allow for some small scale commercial designations for the sea walk on and near his property (C-6 zone) for uses catering to the needs of the sea walk users (ie cappuccino bars, ice-cream stands, etc.) Stated that he owns the boat ramp and the Big Rock service station and he would like to get approval to open up a cappuccino stand on the boat ramp side of his property. Stated his property is dead centre of the Seawalk and feels like it would be a good location for this type of commercial land use. Stated that there would be a safety issue with a proposed cappuccino bar on this piece of land. Commercial along sea walk would be a safety and garbage issue without proper crosswalks. Stated that this proposed extension of the force main contravenes Section 8 in the existing Official Community Plan. Asked why this force main could not be constructed alone the highway. Asked why Council in 1989 turned down the proposal from the Ministry of Transportation to upgrade Highway 19A to four lanes and sidewalks on both sides? Stated that he would like the speed limit on Highway 19A dropped to 30Kms and have the District develop more sidewalks along the right-of-way. The proposed Seawalk and force main extension should be allowed along the existing right-of-way where the existing pipe is. Stated that the Planning Department should develop policy in the OCP relating to the Seawalk. Safety is an issue. Pedestrian/vehicle interaction at driveways. Lack of cross-walks 30 kmh speed limit Wants park to be maintain - grass cut. Asked the Planning staff if there were any plans for development around 2"d and 3rd Avenue? Stated that he is concerned about the policing of the Seawalk. Stated that residents who live along the Seawalk will experience more noise. Noise is a problem with expansion of the trail

Asked why the Engineering Department was studying 17`h Avenue? Stated that 17`h needed to be improved and upgraded. Stated that the storm drainage ditches in the area needed improved maintenance (cutting of grass and cleaning out the garbage). Ditches should be cut by weed whacker not tractor and the garbage in ditches harms the fish. Stated that he does not like the planning concept of allowing commercial land uses right beside residential land use. Campbellton and Willow Point both need some sort of signage or other designed recognition of their boundaries so people know where they are when they arrive and residents can take pride in their work. Stated that he would like to see an area sign identifying Campbellton. Need to improve the aesthetics of the area - how about landscaping maintenance and construction or even the inclusion of some ornamental lighting. Stated that the residents in the area require and need maintenance work completed on the District owned frontage in Campbellton. Too many drug houses and other illegal commercial uses in the area. Doesn't the city have someone to drive around and enforce their existing bylaws? Stated that he owned property in the north end of Campbell River and would like to see some maintenance and general clean up work completed on the Island Highway and the local roads in this area. The garbage in the ditches and in the creeks in North Campbell River is also a problem. The city has to take more action to improve the liveability and aesthetics of the area. The garbage and run-down condition of the area is just a reflection of the cities lack of action concerning the whole area Stated that he would like to see a time-line as to when the District plans to allow commercial to take over the area. Concern rose over the seeming lack of planning direction in the area. Would like to see more community spirit in the area. Maybe people good volunteer to clean the ditches in front and near their homes. Concern rose again over the condition of the place helping to create a positive feedback loop from run-down look to increased crime and back to an increase of the condition of the place. Asked the Planners if there were any plans to change the zoning from the C-3 properties in the north end of Campbell River? A wish was expressed that the land-uses remained the same around their properties on the west side of Highway 19. Would like to see aesthetic changes in the area. Tree lined boulevard Form and character development permit guidelines. Would like to see the shake mill gone Would like to see other industrial relocation to continue Need to have storm water ditches along Antonelli Road. Stated that it would be nice for the District to landscape the north entrance to Campbell River. Mixed uses would be acceptable in the Campbellton area, but designed in a sensitive manner. Development permit guidelines are needed in the Campbellton area. Stated that it would be nice to see the existing shake mill in this area removed or relocated in a better location. Would like to see DP guidelines that create buildings that look like the Laird building on Perkins Road. Would like to see cumulative and hierarchical zoning for commercial and industrial uses so property and business owners have more options. Commercial and Industrial uses do not want to stay in Campbellton area. These uses want 5 acre lots Business is unwilling to take on the issues involved in Campbellton i.Flood plain ii.Small lots iii.High water table iv.Vicinity of residential v.Cost of property Stated that the District did receive money from the Provincial Government to relocate the heavy industrial land uses on the Estuary in the past. Asked if the Holly Hills Storm Water Management Plan was completed yet and how will this plan affect commercial development in the area? Asked if it where possible for the Planning Department to scrutinize every street in the Campbellton area to identify adequate land uses for each? Stated that he does not think the Campbellton area will change significantly in the next 10-20 years. Asked is the home based business regulations fit with the existing small business in Campbellton? Stated that the existing floodplain requirements are a very big issue for commercial development and could possible pose a barrier to new development in this area. Identified that the first 7 feet are virtually useless and this will be a barrier to commercial development. Stated that the Planning Department needs to get creative with the mixed use zoning regulations in this area. Stated that there was a concept for commercial development along the highway corridor on the Raven property. Stated that the Service Commercial land use in Campbellton is very fragmented and there is a need for more connectivity. The District really requires 80 5 acre sites to accommodate service commercial land use. Stated that the Planning Department needs to create zoning that is flexible enough and provides enough options to plan for an area that is in transition right now. We need to open up the flexibility in the area. Stated that the District should not allow this Planning Area to degrade or be run down. General agreement that the whole area was getting too run-down. Inquiry about the extent of the flood plain and some of the restrictions and possible design solutions that would still accommodate growth in the area.

Asked if the proposed construction of the Deep Sea Port would involve any dredging of the Ocean bottom. Asked what the plans are for the proposed improvements and whether these improvements will disturb the ocean floor. Asked the Planners if they knew of any plans regarding the deep-sea port for cruise ships? Will there be any dredging for the port? What improvements are needed for the port and surrounding area to link it to the downtown? What kind of disturbance would there be to the ocean floor? Would the design for the port include a breakwater? Stated that Campbell River has the ability to move pedestrians and tourists from south to north or visa versa along the oceanfront. He asked if the Planning Department would be requiring the construction of a walkway on the Oceanside behind the proposed casino. District needs to take this glorious opportunity to construct the Seawalk all along the oceanfront to put Campbell River on the map. He stated that he owns a bed and breakfast and that most of the tourist that come here are just moving through on route to another destination. He stated that it would be one of the best amenities that Campbell River could build because it would enhance the quality of life for the majority of Campbell River residents and add an attractive recreational activity for tourist that may cause them to stay in this community for longer periods of time. He concluded by stating that if Campbell River misses this opportunity it will be a colossal mistake. Stated he would like to see the Planning Department amend the OCP to allow the Silver King Lodge to remain on the Tyee Spit. (Please refer to the attached report) George Penfold spoke on behalf of his client Silver King Lodge owner Ralph Krentz. He stated some of the history of the original plan for Tyee Spit and outlined some of the reasons for the lodge to remain on the spit (such as tourism, business opportunity) Stated that he would like to see the Planning Department amend the OCP to allow West Coast Helicopters to remain on the Tyee Spit for the main reason that this facility provides needed medi-vac for the local region. (Please refer to the attached petition) Craig Houston spoke on behalf of Westcoast Helicopters He stated that helicopter use should stay if floatplanes are allowed to stay. Helicopters can be used for medi-vac for businesses in the area. Sometimes the airport is fogged in and the spit offers an option to land there. Has petition of over 1,000 signatures including those of major industries in the area. Discussed need for more room on his present site in order to expand business. Claims that he has a conceptual layout for his operations to stay on the Spit while not interfering with the trail. Stated that it may be necessary to open up the flexibility in the Zoning Bylaw for the downtown area to help generate new business and possibly revitalize the downtown core. Stated that mixed-use zoning with a maximum in flexibility would be a value in the downtown. This would likely lead to revitalizing the core and fill up shops (even with warehousing if it can be proven to be safe and secure) An increase in the height of the buildings would be a benefit. Stated that you may want to promote flexibility in the zoning to help reduce the number of commercially vacancies in the downtown core. Stated that more residential areas in the downtown make a city more sustainable C. R.'s downtown should look like Victoria. More residential in the core would decrease the vacancy rate, create a heartbeat for the city, focus and support the downtown, and create a sense of security. Agrees an increase of height would be beneficial. Stated that the downtown core needs more residential mix with the commercial uses to instil vitality, promote safety, and provide more character to the downtown. This shift will help revitalize the downtown. Stated that with the baby boomer generation hitting retirement age this is a perfect location because it has easy access to all amenities and has the potential to provide great views. Stated that a relaxation or expansion of zoning options is a good idea as long as planning is done carefully. For instance, zoning should create pockets of complementary uses; Patio homes should be in an area where other uses support that use. Stated that there may be a problem with mixed land use in the older service commercial areas in the District such as Campbell ton. Concern that the Development Permit process in the estuary area was going to restrict business opportunities by increasing the time it takes to process an application. Asked about development permits along the oceanfront and the Campbell River Estuary. Support the uses along shoppers row. In this regard the public should have more input before making a final decision. Shoppers row should have mixed-use commercial along the other side of the street. Move the Cenotaph to open up the area for mixed-use development. Need to create a centre of vitality around shoppers row Links should be created between the Tyee Spit, cruise ship docks and the downtown Stated that the Planning Department should not endorse high flexibility in the downtown core because it may produce a hindrance for commercial development because the openness of the zoning may allow everything and potential land use conflicts could be the result. Stated that we would not like to see a storage yard on Shoppers Row right next to the little retail stores. He stated that you need a planning process to ensure that commercial development downtown looks good, fits in with the existing character, and instils revitalization to the downtown core. Stated that we need to get creative with our downtown and should be looking at influencing small commercial retail on both sides of Shoppers Row. Stated that Campbell River residents need to reflect a vision for their downtown and the OCP should have policy to ensure that we move towards this vision. Expressed some doubt that the cruise ships will actually benefit the community. What they have done elsewhere is to promise to come if there were some changes made to the area, then not come, but ask for additional changes until they have a controlling interest in the places they stop at. Stated that the cruise ship industry is not all it is cracked up to be because these companies place demands on communities and usually own al the business around a port area. We are too close to Vancouver to work as a stop over. Not until cruise ships are based in Seattle will the distances between ports of call be conducive to Campbell River being a destination. Need an upgrade of the link between the downtown and the cruise ship dock. Stated that we should try and attract pocket cruise ships. They can come directly into Discovery harbour with only a few

Page 2

P:\Applications - Planning\OCP\OCP Review\Plan Area 6\Area 6 Publi- ?Meeting Minutes - Combined.doc changes being made. Maybe the Bolden ore transfer should be relocated to the mill dock to get a dual use for the facility thereby paving the way to creating a more viable cruise ship dock at the present site of the Bolden dock. Stated that Campbell River is perfectly located for the cruise lines coming from San Francisco and Seattle. Stated that we should be going after the pocket cruise ship industry because it represents a huge economic market. Can there be an incorporation of green space and street scaping in the downtown. Even to Ironwood St? With the inclusion of residential units comes more green-space. Stated that the Tyee Spit is ugly in its current state and asked the Planning Department if there was any way that they could encourage more green space, open space, streetscape, and community space in this Planning Area? Stated that this policy directive may encourage revitalization in the downtown core. What should we do with the city property across from Banners Restaurant? Mixed use Commercial/residential was considered as a viable option with increased height? Stated that there should be two commercial retail portions to Shoppers Row to create a nicer downtown. Shoppers Row needs an opposite side with shops/stores on the other side of the street to complete the streetscape. Stated that there should be more trees in the downtown area. More streetscape and trees needed. Parcade could be constructed on city lot by City Hall thereby opening up the downtown for other uses and encouraging walking. Floating structures on the foreshore were seen as positive use on the foreshore as character places. Stated that the District should consider a downtown parking facility (3 stories) in a centralized location to open areas for commercial patio use and open space in the downtown to make it more people friendly. People like the idea of a floating restaurant It's done in deep cove why not here? Should remove policies in the OCP that discourage this use for the foreshore Stated that floating commercial use in the existing commercial docks in Campbell River should be encouraged. The Oceanside of 19`h Ave. should have a stairway down to Pier Street. Stated that the District should complete the stairway link from 91h Avenue down to the Pier Street area. Campbellton is an idea spot for residential infill for seniors because it is flat and close to all amenities.

Asked the Planners if the restriction for curbs, sidewalks, street lighting, underground wiring, and gutters was still in place for this Planning Area? Asked if the District has looked into alternative development standards for this Planning Area?

Stated that there should be two development standards in Campbell River for frontage improvements. This Planning Area is semi-rural and there should be a different development standard to maintain this characteristic. This Planning Area should have to develop to the same standard as the south end of Campbell River because we are and will always be semi-rural. Stated that it makes good planning sense to infill where the existing infrastructure is and not expand to areas with no available infrastructure. Asked if there are a number of new jobs in the District to support these new subdivisions that are being developed on the south end or is it displacement of people moving out of their older homes to the new area of town? Stated that we do not want to create a situation where we have the older areas of town rundown or vacant due to displacement. Stated in a recent article in Readers Digest that it stated that the cost of constant expansion of service infrastructure is bankrupting local governments. He stated that it was his understanding that the District is on the verge of bankruptcy. Stated that she loves the semi-rural character of the Painter-Barclay area and likes the fact that it has no sidewalks. She stated that she would like the Planning Department keep this area looking the way it does presently and maintain the rural characteristics. She would like to see District money put into the development of a park in this area or put towards the school. She stated that it would be nice to have a community centre in this area - or have community centres in communities. Stated that when the Painter-Barclay area was under the Regional District bylaws there was a minimum lot size regulation of approximately 1/3 to 1/2 and acre and was un- serviced.

P: Wpplications - PlanninglOCP1OCP ReviewiPlan Area 71Plan Area 7 Meeting Minutes.doc Stated that the Painter-Barclay area only has one small park and one small school. Stated that there needs to be more parkland development in this area. Stated that that he believes that there are only about 12 lots that can be subdivided in the Painter-Barclay area under the current zoning. Stated that the way Painter-Barclay subdivision is laid out the infill potential is limited. Stated that she would like to see the area stay the way it is currently and have the Planning Department preserve the area for the future. Stated that she would like to see the Holy Hills area stay the same for the future. She stated that she is concerned about the commercial development potential between Park Road and Woodburn Road and would not like to see the likes of a Walmart in this area. Stated that does not mind the idea of a mobile home park in the area. Concern over the high costs of infrastructure through DCC and Frontage Improvement charges. Concern that these high costs are hurting development. Are there going to be any alternative designs/standards these costs Concern that Painter Barclay is too rural - should be a two (2) tier system of standards Some to a rural standard Some to a Georgia Park standard City should be looking at policies that encourage infill without increasing the urban containment boundary Not doing so will increase infrastructure costs. Evidence is the all City departments have no budget to spend. (parks and public works) Concern that the new increase in housing starts is a bit of a false economy. Are there really any new jobs in Campbell River or are people just upgrading their old housing stock for new thereby creating a lot of empty houses. Are the amenities going to increase in Painter Barclay in the near future? Painter Barclay should stay rural. Don't need any sidewalks Kids are safe the way it is. Use development money for joint park/school site development. Would be nice to see a community centre in the community. Should have alternative design standards. Not enough parks in the area even if you add in the school. There is only one convenience store here. Don't want densification or upgrades from existing character in the area. Downgrade the OCP designation to maintain the character of the area. I don't see a lot of development coming into the existing neighbourhood - the lots are too small. Leave it the way it is and preserve the character of the area. Keep ALR on our farms The farms are designated as class 4 and 5 We are keeping our options open with the property we own outside the ALR on McDonald Rd. General consensus that we need to advertise the OCP reviews better. They didn't feel too comfortable making the decisions for the entire planning area. Need to combine areas into larger zones. Should have an agenda to follow. Marie Feller from Holly Hills Keep Holly Hills the way it is. Concerned over the potential development of the buffer land between Holly Hills and the Commercial/Industrial along the Hwy. Does not want Big Box retail going in there. Doesn't mind mobile home use as long as it is a buffer type use.

Lives on Argonaut Road - explained that all of the industrial expansion of the industrial area around Mclvor Lake occurred after the Agriculture Land Reserve designations were established in 1972. He stated that there have been no approvals for non-farm use or exclusions from the ALR that he is aware of. He explained that the land in the Argonaut Road area has been deemed low quality for agriculture potential. He stated that he would like to see this area kept rural, but would be in favour of the District reducing the minimum require lot size down to 2.5 acre or 5 acres. He stated that industrial capability would be beneficial, but smaller rural residential is preferred. Some mention was given to the fact that there may be a problem with servicing in the area. He concluded by stating that the property along Argonaut Road is not prime agriculture land. He asked what the District was going to do at the Willis Road and the new Inland Island Highway intersection? He stated that the existing industrial land use should be cleaned up and the area treated like a "gateway" to the community. He also stated that most municipalities beautify the proposed entrances into their community. (NOT WITHIN PLANNING AREA 8) Stated that he would like the planning department to develop policies in the OCP that will ensure the protection of the groundwater in the Quinsam and Argonaut Road area. He stated that he is an employee at the Fish Hatchery on Quinsam Road and that the hatchery depends on the clean, cold, non-polluted groundwater reserve for their fish stock. This groundwater source currently runs along Argonaut Road from the John Hart Lake system. The entire upland area above the Hatchery was a filter for the leech ate out of the dump and surrounding uses. Stated that the John Hart Lake and Mclvor Lake watershed is the only available drinking water option for Campbell River. He stated that the policies in the OCP should protect this system and not allow boats, houseboats, or any development in the area. He stated that John Hart Road is consistently flooded and there is the potential for pollution to infiltrate the water system from the industrial activity taking place in the area. He stated that the District should consider the Vancouver example and fence off the entire watershed area for protection. Concern that existing property owners in the area have already been able to develop their property. These developments have occurred in spite of the development permit guidelines in place around the lake. Cannot rely on provincial authorities to help. He concluded by stating that there is no coming back to this watershed once it is gone. Stated that the watershed should be protected like Victoria. You need special authority or permission to access the area. Is their any monitoring of the water on Mclvor Lake? Stated that the District takes water samples every 3 months for monitoring on Mclvor Lake. Made a recommendation to the Planning Department that there be no further development in the watershed. Are there adequate sewage disposal systems in the District Park at Mclvor Lake? The portable toilets need to be placed on the parkland much earlier in the year than what the current operating procedure states. Asked how environmental issues in this area are going to be looked at through the OCP? He stated that this area needs to be looked at for the new OCP. He concluded by stating that the new OCP should contain Development Permit Guidelines for Industrial Development in this planning area and throughout the District. Asked if the RDCS Landfill site was included in this planning area and whether planning is looking into developing policy to mitigate any potential long-term impacts of this land use for the surrounding area? He stated that the Planning Department should be looking into developing policy that protects the surrounding neighbourhood or the overall District from possible contamination from the Landfill site. Stated that the District should propose that the Landfill stop any further cell development or future expansions. Campbell River should look for an alternate location for the Landfill He stated that the District and the RDCS should look for a common landfill facility that could be shared. Stated that there are major groundwater problems in the Argonaut Road area and he refuses to drink well water for fear of contamination from the Landfill. He stated that there should be special consideration of this industrial area (Mclvor Lake Area). There needs to be special policy developed for this area. Stated that any relocation of the landfill should be outside the watershed area. Development around Mclvor Lake has to be controlled and there needs to be ongoing enforcement for the clearing of land to the lake front and any non conforming land uses.

Background Report

In Support of Property Use Designation for Silver King Lodge In the Review of the Official Community Plan District of Campbell River

Prepared for Silver King Lodge, Ralph Krentz, Owner Campbell River, B.C.

Prepared By

George Penfold. M.Sc., MCIP Qu'West Consulting Services, Comox B.C.

June 11, 2003 1.Introduction

Silver King Lodge, under the ownership of Ralph Krentz, has been operating on Tyee Spit since 1979. The business started as a fishing charter business and in 1985 expanded to include a lodge related to fishing, ecotourism and other outdoor tourism and recreation activities.

As part of the recent initiatives to restore the Campbell River Estuary and Tyee Spit area, the District of Campbell River has established several policy and regulatory initiatives that do not include resort type uses or Silver King Lodge as a long-term use. The current property lease to Silver King Lodge expires in 2006. Current OCP policy and zoning will not allow the lease to be renewed after 2006. This places the future of this important community business asset in jeopardy.

The purposes of this submission are:

To provide information about the Silver King Lodge business and operations to the District of Campbell River and the community,

To present a case for Silver King Lodgeremainingas part of the longer term activities permitted on the Tyee Spit, and To present an approach to the District of Campbell River to ensure the long-term future of Silver King Lodge in its present location.

2. Descriptionof the Property

Silver King Lodge currently holds a lease for a 0.414 ha parcel on the west side of Tyee Spit described in the lease as "Area K" Plan VIP 64455. This parcel is located North of, and adjacent to Sealand Aviation, and directly across the Spit Road from the Tyee Fishing Club and West Coast Helicopters. The property to the North is currently vacant and is intended to be part of the proposed park, providing a lookout area to the Estuary.

3.Description of Facilities

The buildings on the site were purchased from Coval Air in 1996, at the same time the current 10 year lease was established with the District.

The main building on the site is the former BC Air terminal. The facility was leased from Coval Air in 1985, and between 1985 and 1987 was renovated to its current configuration. The main lodge building has two floors (approximately 4,388 sq. ft.) containing 12 guest rooms, with washroom facilities, and a common lounge and kitchen area on each floor. The main floor also contains a front desk and reception area. There is an outside, fenced patio area on the north side of the building. The building was repainted and upgraded in 1997. A new roof was installed in 2001. The outside of the building needs repainting and upgrading, but these improvements will be contingent on a lease renewal.

A second single storey building on the site, also part of the original Air BC development (approximately 1,100 sq. ft.) contains the business office for Silver King Lodge as well as two guest rooms, accommodations for a caretaker, washrooms and a common kitchen and lounge area.. This building was fully renovated in 1989. Because of damage from a recent storm, a new roof was installed in 2002.

A third single storey building (approximately 150 sq. ft.) was constructed in 1998 as storage for Adama Logging float plane operations. That business subsequently located elsewhere on the Spit, and the building is currently used for storage for Silver King Lodge.

Office and 2 Guest Rooms Storage Building and Current Fuel Storage

In addition to the land area and buildings, the lease contains approximately 270 ft. of floating wharf, 12 feet wide with an access ramp from the lease area. Moorage can be provided on both sides of this wharf. The Lodge uses the inside of the wharf for its sport fishing boats, and the outside for floatplanes and larger watercraft. The wharf was constructed in the 1960's and is in need of major upgrading. Some upgrading is currently underway to keep the wharf safe and useable. Major upgrades will be contingent on a lease renewal.

2 Bank Wharf and Access

oking South

In addition to improvements to facilities described above, the District of Campbell River removed fuel tanks from the site in 1995. The foreshore bank of the lease area was temporarily stabilized in 1997, at the owners' expense, to address bank erosion and stability problems. The District of Campbell completed further bank stabilization in 1999.

4.Description of the Business

The Silver King Lodge business consists of float plane moorage that operates approximately 12 months of the year, and the lodge that operates approximately 5 months of the year.

Per diem and long term moorage and storage for float planes are provided on a fee basis for private, corporate and commercial aircraft. Currently, Rush Air, Sealand Air and Kenmore Air (Seattle) are regular users of the wharf along with itinerant traffic and guest traffic.

The adjacent site to the South is used by Sealand Aviation. It contains a launch ramp West of their building. Sealand Aviation uses the Silver King Lodge wharf to stage both launching and haul out of floatplanes.

3 During the summer season, the wharf provides moorage for the Lodges sport fishing vessels. These boats are equipped with EPA 2006 standard Honda 4-stroke engines.

The Lodge business focuses on a corporate clientele who use the facility for business "retreats" that combine business meetings with sport fishing, ecotourism, golfing and local entertainment and attractions. This "corporate retreat" market constitutes 90% of Silver King's business. Most of the clientele are repeat customers (75 %). They include businesses such as Domtar, McDonalds (Alberta, South Dakota) and Arm and Hammer. These are niche market clients similar to those attracted to Langara Lodge, April Point and Painters.

The appeal of Silver King's facility and location to these clients is that they can "book" the whole facility. This gives them privacy and personal service while still having the benefits of proximity to local fishing, to float plane services for non-local activities, and to downtown for entertainment and shopping. Guests typically spend a half-day in meetings and a half-day recreating.

The business employees approximately 20 people during the season for guiding, cooking, general maintenance and housekeeping. Silver King Lodge uses the services of local business and contractors for purchase and maintenance of equipment and maintenance of facilities.

The Lodge provides meals, but because it is not licensed, most guests use other services in Campbell River for evening entertainment and other leisure activities (e.g., golf.) Typically, guests spend up to $1,000 per day in the Campbell River area on entertainment, leisure activities and retail purchases. Because of their experiences in Campbell River, several of the clients have purchased homes in the area for retirement, recreation and corporate purposes.

The Lodge accommodates approximately 500 guests per year. Most of these guests (95%) fly to Campbell River. They arrive either at the Campbell River Airport by private plane or scheduled flights (approximately 400 guests), or by float plane to the Lodges' wharf (approximately 100 guests). Most of the bookings are Thursday though Sunday.

Although most of the recreational activity is based on local sport fishing using the Lodges' wharf and boats, Silver King also takes guests to other areas by float plane (e.g., Nootka Sound, Bute Inlet, Knight Inlet) for sport fishing and ecotourism experiences. Silver King boats are pre positioned the day before, so guests can maximize their time on the water. Guests return to the Lodge and Campbell River for the evening. Last year, this involved more than 30 float plane charters from other businesses on the Spit. This component of the services Silver King offers is growing each year.

Diversifying the recreational opportunities for guests and the increasing focus on ecotourism and on other recreational opportunities in the region such as Mount Washington will allow an expansion of the season. Along with other possibilities of expanding weekday business, Silver King has significant opportunity to expand its client

4 base including the opportunity to respond to cruise ship clients who will be within a short walk to the Lodge from the proposed new pier facility. This business expansion (weekday and expanded season) can take place within the current facilities on the site.

5.Policy Reviewand Issues

In 1985, when Silver King leased the site from Coval Air, the District of Campbell River approved a rezoning application for use of the buildings as a lodge. At that time the facility was rezoned from RU2 to C4 to permit the Lodge operations.

Subsequent to acquiringTyeeSpit, the District of Campbell River redesignated and rezoned the area. The current Official Community Plan land use designation shows the Spit area in the "Estuarian Zone Environmental Reserve", with "the long term objective (2005+)to restore (theSpit)to a natural open space area with services complimenting its recreational use." Development Permit Guidelines as contained in Appendix B to the Official Community Plan suggest that the Tyee Spit will become a "public recreation zone with limited commercial activity (in support of float plane use)" - Appendix B, Section 4.3. This section further states that this goal will be achieved by increasing public access and recreation opportunities, and by encouraging the relocation of non- recreational use.

The current zoning (CD-2) Comprehensive Development Zone permits "float plane base and ancillary uses" and "private fishing club" but does not permit commercial tourism or tourism accommodation use.

Since the acquisition of the Spit, the District of Campbell River has adopted Bylaw No. 2765. This Bylaw amends the original Purchase and Acquisition Bylaw (No. 2225) and provides for extension of the original ten year leases to January 1, 2026. On the Schedule attached to this Bylaw, the area currently leased to Silver King Lodge is included. However, the Tyee Spit Development Plan shows Cox Logging, E&A Logging and R&N Logging as the future tenants of this area.

Because of these OCP policies and Bylaws, and non-renewal of the 10-year lease, a very successful business focussed on corporate clients and tourism will cease to exist in 2006.

6. Case for Silver King Lodge

From a review of the relevant Bylaws and background documents including "Making the Best Choices: Managing Aviation Options in Campbell River", and the "Campbell River Estuary Management Plan", it is apparent that the view of the future of the Tyee Spit has changed over the last 5 years. The original concept of a 10 year phase out of individual leases and consolidation of float plane uses into one common facility has evolved to an approach that includes retaining the current aviation and related activities until 2026 using the locations and facilities that are currently in operation. The plan to consolidate uses into one facility is no longer a priority.

5 In that plan, all non aviation uses were to be eliminated from the spit, and public access and recreation, as well as foreshore stabilization and restoration were to emerge as new priorities for the Spit. The decision to extend current leases to 2026 delays aspects of this strategy. The District has also developed a Park Plan for the Spit that will increase public access and recreation opportunities, but which retains an area for commercial uses along the estuary foreshore on the east side of the Spit.

Throughout this process, the assumption has been made that non-aviation uses can "readily be relocated to other areas." That said, any uses and facilities "can be retained if desired by the District." (pg. 58, Managing the Best Choices.)

Current OCP policies and Bylaws do not recognize Silver King Lodge. If this use was located on privately owned land, it would be considered a "legal non-conforming use" and could continue. In this case, because current Bylaws do not permit lease renewal for this use beyond 2006, the operation will be forced to cease, and any remaining undepreciated value in the buildings and facilities will be lost unless it can be sold to new tenants.

Making a choice to retain Silver King Lodge as part of the proposed extended uses on the Spit is in the best interest of the District of Campbell River, the community and Silver King Lodge because:

This business cannot easily relocate. Access to the water and to float plane transportation is essential to the viability of this business. Alternate locations with water and downtown access are not readily available for lease or purchase.

ii. The unique appeal of this business and its location brings back 75% of the customers as repeat business. Another location that does not provide an equivalent experience may not hold the same attraction for these guests. Relocation, even if it were possible, does not ensure continuity of the business. Clients could go elsewhere in BC or to other out of province locations to replicate their past experience at Silver King Lodge.

iii.This business has developed in the context of aviation uses on the Spit and has proven to be compatible with those uses and with customers.

iv.The main buildings used by Sliver King Lodge are in good repair and have been renovated to tourism accommodation use. In their current form, they are not suitable for use by float plane businesses. They are too large in scale even for several float plane users. Other uses would have to be permitted in addition to private float plane companies to fully utilize the structures.

The Lodge was totally renovated between 1985 and 1987, and refurbished in 1997. It will not be possible to fully depreciate the investment in the buildings on the site by 2006. The value of these buildings to the proposed tenants in the Tyee Spit Development Plan is minimal as they do not require a facility of this

6 type for float plane use. Silver King Lodge stands to lose significant capital because of current Bylaws and the inability to obtain a lease extension.

vi.Maintaining the current use of the Lodge facility does not preclude the possibility of consolidating float plane activities on the wharf associated with the lease. Three companies (Sealand, Rush and Kenmore) currently use the wharf. Others have used the wharf in the past. More recently, potential users (Adama Logging) have expressed interest in long term float plane moorage, but have been directed to other locations on the Spit by the District. Silver King Lodge is more than willing to accommodate other float plane businesses on the wharf and lease area.

vii. Thebusiness continues to expand and evolve in terms of increasing use of float planes as part of the servicesoffered. At thepresenttime,these services are chartered from localcompanies.If the scale of this portion of the business expands beyond the capacity of local float planebusinesses,the Lodge will lease or purchase its own float plane to service its customers.

viii. Losing Silver King Lodge would potentially mean losing many of the 500 visitors per year the Lodge currently attracts, the associated revenue that flows to the Lodge and other businesses in Campbell River, the 20 jobs associated with the Lodge and the community and business "good will" that has been developed over the last 18 years.

ix.Losing Silver King Lodge would also mean significantly reduced security for businesses on the Spit. Silver King Lodge has staff on site 24 hours a day, all year. Because of this staff presence, vandalism, threats to property and equipment, and on-water accidents have been witnessed and reported. Lodge staff regularly informs kayakers and canoeists of the hazards of recreating in an active float plane landing and take off area, and have rescued individuals from the water.

7.Business Plan

Silver King Lodge would like to focus on expanding its season, and the quality of its facilities.It does not plan to expand the "footprint" of its building and facilities to accomplish those goals. In fact, reduction of the current lease area is possible in the future. Following are the future directions and priorities Silver King would like to pursue:

a) Facilities Improvements Both the buildings and the wharf are in need of structural and maintenance improvements. Sections of the wharf need replacing, and the main building needs both interior and exterior upgrades.

7 The current wharf is approximately 12 feet wide and is in need up major upgrading. The wharf width can be reduced to 8 feet, which will significantly reduce the shaded area on the water.

b) Fuel Storage The current fuel storage (gasoline for the fishing boats) will be relocated and upgraded this summer.It will be moved approximately 10 metres further back from the top of bank, directly in front of the storage building. Fuel storage will be upgraded to a double wall enviro-tank. There are no plans to add either aviation fuel or diesel fuel. A site plan showing the location of the proposed fuel storage is attached.

c) Foreshore Improvements The foreshore is currently stabilized with rock riprap. There is no shrub or woody plan vegetation to aid in stabilization and to provide shade along the foreshore. Dune grass has already established there. Additional vegetation will improve the ecological function and aesthetic of the foreshore. A re vegetation plan showing proposed improvements is attached,

d) Parking Because most of the guests fly in, there is limited need for parking. Parking is needed primarily for staff and the owner. Approximately half of the current parking area is not needed. It could be added to the proposed public use area, revegetated to add both aesthetic and ecological benefits for the spit, the park and the lodge, or leased by the District to other users. A parking area plan has been developed to improve the ecological function and aesthetic of Lodge lease area. A site plan showing possible planting and parking improvements is attached.

e) Estuary Viewing Area The Tyee Spit Park Plan calls for a viewing area immediately adjacent to the north of the Silver King Lodge lease area. The current use of the lease area between the building and the viewing area is a grassed lawn. This area contains the septic disposal field for the lodge. When sewer services are extended to the Spit, the disposal field will no longer be needed. Approximately half of the current grassed area could be removed from the lease area and added to the park.

f) Signage An entrance sign conforming to the design requirements in the Tyee Spit Park Plan (driftwood base) will be installed on the east side of the agreed upon lease area, at the entrance to the parking lot.

8. Planning Implications

To ensure the long-term future of Silver King Lodge, a lease extension to the year 2026 is necessary. To allow a long-term lease to be established it may be necessary to make one or more of the following changes:

8 i. Amend the Official Community plan to include accommodations and the Lodge use on this site,

ii.Amend the zoning bylaw to include accommodations and the lodge use on this site, iii. Amend the Tyee Spit and Estuary Lands Acquisition Bylaw to include Silver King Lodge as a future tenant.

With a lease to year 2026 in place, both Silver King Lodge and the District of Campbell River can proceed with current and future planning for the Spit, including the Parks Plan to make it both an economic "centre" within the District, and an attractive and ecologically sound public use area.

9. Summary

Based on the preceding information, Ralph Krentz, owner of Silver King Lodge facilities and current site leaseholder, requests the District of Campbell River to recognize Silver King Lodge and related uses as a long-term land use on the Tyee Spit. This may require changes to the OCP to accomplish that objective. Necessary changes can be included as part of this Official Community Plan review. Subsequent amendments to the Zoning Bylaw and Land Acquisition Bylaw may also be required in order to legitimize extension of the current lease to year 2026.

9 Appendix A - Draft Site Plan Options
