In response to the comments submitted, Port Metro Vancouver is requiring the completion of a full Environmental Impact Assessment by the proponent which includes an assessment of potential human health impacts. This report is available to Delta and the public for a 30 day comment period commencing November 18. A report on this subject will be provided for Council’s consideration in December. 3 607 _M~a~yo~r~C~o~un~c~il ___________________________________________________________________________ ~, I'.J.'.I From: Bruce Cuthbert Sent: Friday, November OS, 20131:11 AM d ::z: To: Mayor & Council A gen a e. ~ J' 0 Cc: Sean McGill ' ' FILE # I <...X-LV 'i;lo LlX::a?i102...~ Subject: Brunswick Point Wedge Parcel I o:~ ;J;i! Firstly, I'd like to commend Mayor and Council on the wisdom displayed in not supporting the Crown's current is"'" subdivision and variance application of the Brunswick Point Wedge Parcel. In terms offurther action by Delta, I ':S had hoped that Delta would have sent a message to Crown that the people of Delta and the people of British Columbia are not served by the sale of this property to a non-farming entity and that the Crown cease and desist in the sale, I'm aware that many members of the public have communicated their concerns regarding the sale, to both Mayor and Council and to the Crown, I understand that Delta has started a dialogue with TFN and the Crown to achieve a permanent resolution to this property with a goal to preserve the property "as is" in perpetuity. I have asked Sean McGill, Delta's Director of Human Resources and Corporate Planning, to define the goals, terms, and parameters of this process such that myself and Delta citizens can understand what's to be achieved and how. I've seen TFN's initial response of Oct. 23. Two statements in TFN's response are of significant concern: 1) TFN indicates a desire for "future Fraser River access from the dike". Of course, river access through any part of Wedge Parcel would be a great concern to myself and citizens of Delta. It is well documented that the foreshore has environmental sensitivities. Will Delta only support a resolution that denies future river access? I I 2) TFN deems the ALR designation sufficient protection, Of course, ALR designation does not protect the , property "as is" in perpetuity. ALR designation allows such activities/conditions as: • greenhouses • partial or total clearing the site of all trees and vegetation (once property is Tsawwassen Lands, permits from Delta are not required) • a residence of any size (once property is Tsawwassen Lands, Delta's 350.0. sq ft restriction will not apply) • a secondary suite within the residence • an additional manufactured (mobile) home Will Delta only support a resolution that involves protective covenants that run with the land and will preserve the property "as is" in perpetuity? Thank-you in advance for consideration of my questions Bruce Cuthbert 2830. River Rd West Delta, BC V4K 3N2 Delta's goal remains to preserve the 'wedge parcel' in perpetuity as a heritage site, environmental habitat, and dike including public access and future flood protection requirements 1 608 Ottawa Constituency 607 Confederation Building Suite 202, 5000 Bridge ~lreet House of Commons Delta, British Columbia V4Sj!K4 Ottawa Ontario KIA OA6 Tel: 604-940-8040 Fax: 604-94'!z.041 Tel: 613-992-2957 Fax: 613-992-3589 www.kerrylynnefindla~.ca , HOUSE OF COMMONS Agenda CYS't' - n:/ CHAMSRE DES COMMUNES· FILE # ~loO- & CANADA The Han.

Kerry-Lynne D. Findlay, PC, QC Member of Parliament Delta-Richmond East" OTTAWA November 4,2013 Dear_ Thank you for sharing with me your concerns regarding the possible radio tower installation at Point Roberts. First, please know that I am as concerned about radio waves, noise, and interference as you are. Second, and as you may know, I wrote to Whatcom County bringing to their attention your concerns and the impact on our residents the radio tower mayhave. You may also know that the Mayor of Delta and the Delta South MLA also wrote. It is not lost on me that our population north of the border is many thousands more than the Point Roberts population.
