Subject: Problem at Solana Key Ripariant Project
The purpose of this message is to report a disturbing incident at the site of the Solana Key Riparian project site. On May 3, 2011, a work party of the Committee was installing the float line and marker buoys with "Endangered Species Habitat" signs attached when a person came on the scene in a pedal boat and removed the line which secures the float line to its anchor and proceeded to tow it away from the area leaving it floating loose in the middle of the channel. The work party towed it back and re-secured it to its anchor and went ashore to discuss this event whereupon the said person returned to the secured line and repeated her previous action shouting to us that it will be removed again if the float line is installed. As the free floating line would cause a hazard to boats entering the lagoon and create a possible liability situation, the work party, to avoid being involved in a disturbing situation, decided to remove the line and leave the site.
This same person had previously complained about the float line being unsightly and an explanation was offered as to the necessity of having the line in place. The explanation was not acceptable and it was then suggested to her that she contact the town, which is the owner of water lot 14, and file a complaint stating the reasons for her opposition which could then be dealt with in a proper manner.
The float line and buoys were first installed in the spring of 2010 mainly for two reasons:
1. Disturbance to the Endangered species Western Painted Turtles by boats bumping up against the turtle basking logs to fish and, occasionally, to net Western Painted Turtles for pets.
2. A possible liability situation with the log boom, which has become less visible because it is waterlogged and low in the water,
The float line also serves as a visible hazard warning for boat traffic which enters the area Last season it was observed that very few boats crossed the float line to fish behind the logs. This spring saw the highest numbers of turtles on the logs since we began the project and it is believed that this is due to the efficacy of the float line and the attached "Endangered Species Habitat" signs. The day after we abandoned the installation of the float line we received a report from two reliable witnesses that a boat with two persons aboard were fishing over the logs and hooked a Painted Turtle. A hooked turtle will probably not survive. We have a picture and the registration number of the boat. We believe that this incident would not have happened had our " Endangered Species Habitat" signs situated on the float line been installed.
Your support is requested in resolving this matter.
The Work Party of the Solana Key Riparian project
Page 2 of 32 TURTLE ADDENDUM
Any suggestions as to how we and the town can protect the Painted Turtles at this approved Town project would be appreciated. Some of our possible solutions are: 1). The town would install the float and buoy line this year to make the line more official. 2). Next year the area could be designated for local boats only, making the line less necessary 3). Install a large, visible sign regarding Turtle habitat at the Key entrance. 4). A long term possibility would be the Town requesting the area be designated as a protected area or wildlife management area. 5). Least useful might be to install just 3 warning buoys but these may not be effective without the connecting float line.

MEETING DATE: June 6, 2011
TO: Mayor and Council, COW
FROM: Alain Cunningham, Director of Planning and Development Services Request for Paramount Corporation to make a presentation to SUBJECT: Council on June 20, 2011
TRACKING NO.: N/A
1. BACKGROUND
Staff is requesting that Council consent to hearing a presentation at their COW meeting on June 20, 2011 from Mr. Abugov of Paramount Real Estate Corporation respecting their plans for developing the Laranjo property.
2. OVERVIEW
Since October of last year, staff has been involved in discussions with Paramount Real Estate Corporation of Calgary, Alberta about their desire to have the Laranjo property (4.2 acres) on Hwy. 3 excluded from the ALR to clear the way for development of a shopping centre. Council was apprised by email on November 17, 2010 about our early discussions on this project.
In accordance with Town policy, Paramount has to submit a draft area plan showing their development intentions for the property, in order for Council to determine whether or not they will support an ALR exclusion application. The developers are also involved in difficult negotiations with MoT about procuring highway access.
Before investing more time and money, the developers would like to get some preliminary reading from Council on whether they would be open to even considering the type of development they are proposing. This would of course be without prejudice to Council’s legislative discretion in making a final decision on any formal application.
Staff consider this to be a reasonable request given that Paramount are proposing at least one relatively large format building by Osoyoos standards, outside of our Downtown. Section 10 (3) of our Land Use Procedures (LUP) Bylaw allows for such a presentation … At Staff’s discretion they may consult with Council on a developer’s proposal at a Committee of the Whole (COW) meeting

SWALWELL PARK WASHROOM BUILDING AND PAVILION Lake Country, BC 2008 BC Recreation and Parks Foundation Open Space Award 2010 AIBC Lieutenant Governor Award Medal 2009 Masonry Institute of BC Award of Excellence 2008 Featured in August 2009 issue of Canadian Architect magazine
The Swalwell Park Building and Pavilion is a significant part of the District of Lake Country’s multi-phase efforts towards revitalizing this once disused park. With the washroom completed first, and the pavilion, storage and concession completed as a second phase, together the facility has become a showpiece in the park, supporting increased use and further developments like a splash park. Safety and ease of use were paramount concerns in the creation of the washrooms. The masonry units are set apart and voided to allow light and air to flow through the facility, and custom perforated metal screens that are simultaneously signage and window. This maximization of natural light and air flow-through reduced the need for significant mechanical and electrical systems. Low flow fixtures and a green roof partially irrigated with grey water round out the facility’s green agenda.

Page 31 of 32 TownofOsoyoos June3,2011 OsoyoosBC o_RtCt!VED FUeNo cct A1No_, JUN09 7011 Attention: Mayor Wells and Council TPvN OF OSOYOOS RE: Unsightly Property-Chronic Offenders
For eight years I have attended the Town Office to report unsightly weeds in the property adjacent to mine. Each time I attend, some times twice in the same year, I sign a complaint form provided by the staff at the counter. Yesterday I signed yet another one.
The offending property is located at 11915 La Costa Lane, and is at present overrun with large weeds.
As I understand it, the present policy requires that these complaints be driven by adjacent neighbours in the form of a signed complaint form. This policy is frustrating to those complainants, not to mention other property owners in the area who don't qualify as complainants.
I would suggest that Council direct the Administration to develop a method of initiating a complaint against chronic offenders that would only require an e-mail notification to the Town Office. I'm sure this method would reduce time spent by several staff members and would most certainly reduce inconvenience to complainants.
I don't wish to add to the bureaucratic process but I would appreciate a response. My e-mail address is: [email protected].
Thank you for your consideration,
