------------------------ NEWS RELEASE ------------------------ Minister LeBlanc called on to release $17 million in emergency relief to communities hit hard by Harper’s unfair salmon deal with U.S. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 11, 2018 UCLUELET, BC -- The Department of Fisheries and Oceans announced that Chinook salmon catches for the West Coast of Vancouver Island have been cut to their lowest level in history as part of a deal that the Harper government brokered to allow U.S. fishermen to catch more salmon in exchange for $30 million in compensation. In 2018, Vancouver Island fishermen will only be permitted to catch 26,200 Chinook salmon, which is less than half of their historic catch. Communities, such as Tofino and Ucluelet, hard-hit by these drastic catch reductions are now calling on federal Fisheries Minister Dominique Leblanc to release $17 million to compensate communities damaged by Harper’s unfair deal. Ottawa initially used $13 million of the U.S. compensation to buy-out Canadian salmon trollers and has so far stalled the remaining $17 million in emergency relief to fishing communities. In stark contrast, Minister Leblanc, who is from New Brunswick, recently announced $280 million for an Atlantic Fisheries Fund to help fishing communities and seafood companies on the East Coast. “Our fishing communities are simply asking the Minister of Fisheries to provide us with the compensation paid by the U.S. government,” said Dianne St. Jacques, Mayor of Ucluelet. “We would use the money to set up our own community-based Pacific Fisheries Fund to help our local fishing industry survive this short-term reduction and build a prosperous future.” “Our communities and fishermen believe that conservation comes first,” said Josie Osborne, Mayor of Tofino. “However, if there is compensation for disproportionately reducing Canadian salmon catches then Ottawa has an obligation to help those fishermen and communities being unfairly hurt by the salmon catch reductions. It’s a simple question of fairness.” For ten years, the commercial Chinook salmon fishermen on the West Coast of Vancouver Island have lost half their catches as a result of a deal brokered by the Harper government under the Canada-U.S. Pacific Salmon Treaty. Instead of compensating the fishermen, Ottawa decided to buy-out their livelihoods, undermining the commercial fishing economy in rural villages such as Ucluelet and Tofino. Despite their limited resources, the local salmon fishermen took Ottawa to court for refusing to provide them with compensation paid by the U.S. government. The fishermen lost the court case. Although the Federal Court justice said the Fisheries Minister may have a moral and ethical imperative to compensate the fishermen, legally the Minister can spend the money as he sees fit. “I’m personally appealing to Minister Leblanc’s sense of fairness and social justice. I’m having my livelihood taken away without any compensation. Minister Leblanc can’t undo Harper’s bad deal, but he can provide us with emergency relief and hope for the future,” said Doug Kimoto, a third-generation salmon fishermen from Ucluelet.

“Our communities have been petitioning Ottawa to do the right thing with this U.S. compensation fund since day one, but the bureaucrats have stalled and ignored us,” said Tony Bennett, rural director with the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District. “The Trudeau Government talks about supporting the middle class, but they are allowing our hard-working fishermen to be driven into bankruptcy by an unfair deal. We have even proposed a community-based solution to them.” The fishermen put forward a proposal to have the compensation money taken out of a non-interest-bearing account in Ottawa and placed in trust to a community-based governance board that already exists in the region to manage fisheries. Joyce Murray, a senior B.C. Liberal MP, presented the proposal to the Minister’s staff in Ottawa last September and informed them that it was a responsible document that should be treated seriously. To date the Department of Fisheries and Oceans has chosen to ignore this advice.

The Honourable Lana PophamMinister of AgriculturePO Box 9056 Stn Prov GovtVictoria, BC V8W 9E2

Dear Minister Popham:

At the Regular meeting of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) Board held on March29, 2018, the Board received correspondence from G & K Persson Farms, Golden, BC. A copy ofthe correspondence, including the letter that was sent directly to your office by G & K Persson Farms,is attached for your reference. As you know, currently rural farmers that live within 2 hours of anabattoir must take their livestock to a facility to be slaughtered. The enclosed letters express thatthe costs associated with this is unattainable, the facilities do not have the required capacity, canonly slaughter 4 pigs a day, and the stress put on the animals is impacting the quality of the meat.These letters also outline the issues associated with these actions:

1. Animals suffered undo stress as indicated in the articles cited in the letters - stress can leadto a reduction in quality of meat;

2. Abattoirs do not have the capacity, (human resources), to meet the demand. Some farmersonly option; is to look after their own and of course this is illegal. Farmers don't want to dothis;

3. The pricing structure is 150% higher than on small farms.

The Electoral Area Director for Area A (Rural Golden), Karen Cathcart, asked for Board support toaddress the need for changes to the regulations for Class E Licences. Of note, the Directormentioned that she has spoken to many farmers regarding this issue which is not isolated to the areaof the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, this is a provincial issue.

Upon discussing this matter, the Board adopted a resolution to ask that the Ministry of Agriculturemake a change to the licensing requirements for Class E licences to support rural farmers so thatthey can slaughter their livestock on their farm premises. If the Ministry changed the regulations toallow small rural farmers to have a Class E License for slaughtering their animals, this would makea huge difference for local farmers to operate their farms as they had done for years before. Thischange would also promote gate sales, enhance food security, and promote consumers to buy local.

Honourable Lana Popham

Minister of Agriculture

Parliament Buildings

Victoria, BC V8V 1X4

Dear Minister Popham,

Gary and I live on a small acreage just south of Golden BC. We raise 10 or so pigseach year to sell to our local friends and families via Farm Gate Sales. The current

Class "E" Regulations are limiting our ability to raise our pigs on our property and

slaughter them on our property.

In discussion with David Charchuk, a meat industry specialist based out of

Kamloops BC, he advised us to contact you in order to discuss and explore the

possibilities of making some minor changes to the regulatory requirements

regarding the Class "E" meat processing facilities in the Province. David was

instrumental in the design and licensing approval process for our Class "E"

Slaughter and Licensed Cut & Wrap facility, at that time he headed up the meat

inspection team for the Interior Health Authority.

The Class "E" License gives a farmer the ability to slaughter their animals on their

property, take their product to a cut and wrap facility of their choice and then sell

the product via farm gate sales.

The steps in attaining a Class "E" License are as follows:

1 ) farmers have to find out if they are in designated or nondesignated areas withinBC

21

Page 22: Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District · WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, ... Beach Airport on Friday May 25th and Saturday, May 26th, 2018 to conduct ... R1025, 2013, for July 13, 14,

?"-—designated areas within BC mean that a farmer can apply for a Class "E"

License and will be approved.

——nondesignated areas within BC mean that a farmer must complete a Feasibility

Study first to see if they even qualify for a Class "E" License.

This is where the issue lays.

2nd) If a farmer falls within the nondesignated area, they then have to do the

Feasibility Study. The opening sentence within this study says,

"This Class E Feasibility Study has been designed to help you to assess the slaughter services

that are available at provincially licensed Class A, B and C facilities inyour area, and to determine whether they meet your needs. If the slaughter services that you need

are already available through an existing provincially licensed

facility in your area (i.e., within a 2 hour travel time from your farm/property), you are unlikely

to be issued a Class E licence. If a facility is not available, you will be

Considered for a Class E licence".

This opening paragraph is enough to scare most people from even reading on.

M.osi of the profit in raising a few animals is the way of life; knowing that we are

eating animals that are healthy, breathing fresh air, eating good food (no antibiotics

or hormones), and not STRESSED before slaughter.

3rd) If a farmer falls within the 2 hour restriction (from an abattoir), then, NOCLASS "E" LICENSE.If the farmer is outside the 2 hour restriction, then the can apply for the Class "E"

License and will be considered for approval.

We the people of British Columbia are asking to change the wording in this

document and exclude the 2 hour distance within an abattoir. We agree that a Class

"E" License is necessary, but should not have the time restriction.

These are our supportins reasons:

1) The stress of loading, hauling, unloading, and not to mention being in a strangeenvironment until slaughtered. What affect does this have on our meat? The

22

Page 23: Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District · WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, ... Beach Airport on Friday May 25th and Saturday, May 26th, 2018 to conduct ... R1025, 2013, for July 13, 14,

adrenalin in our meat prior to slaughter would be huge. Not to mention the cost of

transportation, once to deliver the carcass to the facility and once to go pick it up.

2) Many of the abattoirs within the province are overloaded and cannot

accommodate the number of animals that need to be slaughtered in their areas. If

Class "E" Licenses were given to local farmers, allowing a farmer to slaughter his

own animals, this would take some of the pressure off of the larger scale, licensed

abattoirs.

3) The expense that incurs by having pork inspected, (by a govn't inspector, at a

licensed abattoir for farm gate sales is a complete waste of govn't (tax payers)

money as farm gate sales is much different then govn't inspected meats at an

abattoir.

4) Carbon Footprint: localized foods, better quality, more nutritious, higher animal

survival rates. By allowing farmers to have farm gate sales we are preserving a

way of life, keeping small agricultural lands productive; therefore, protected and

having a healthier, vigorous enthusiastic rural community that will grow more

produce and build economic development in the Agricultural Sector.

5) Because of todays impersonal high-volume meat producers and exports we need

inspected product; but our society also deserves the right to raise and buy meat not

subjected to the industrial short falls of nutrition and quality.

6) The small farmer would have to build a facility for easy loading and hauling,

with stress of the animal the main concern. The effort of his animal husbandry to

raise a highly nutritious, tasty product will not only be degraded, but may be lost

altogether. In our case, G & K Persson Farms; we raise 10 pigs per year, we can

only cut 2 pigs per day in our licensed cut and wrap facility. It would take us 8

trips to Invennere to deliver and then to pick up our carcasses.

The differences between farm sate and inspected meats.

Farm gate sales: a farmer raises his animal on his own property, slaughters the

animal (stress free) and takes it to a legal cut and wrap, he then brings the product

23

Page 24: Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District · WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, ... Beach Airport on Friday May 25th and Saturday, May 26th, 2018 to conduct ... R1025, 2013, for July 13, 14,

home to sell from his farm. Usually this is to family and friends, and within their

own regional district.

Inspected meats: these animals are raised on a farmer's property, then shipped to a

Licensed Abattoir. The animals are then slaughtered (a govn't paid inspector

inspects all animals) and are ready for cut and wrap. These meat products are now

ready to sell retail (health food stores, grocery, restaurants).

There is a need for both types of facilities and Licensing programs within our

province.

We have added a brief summary of the attached supporting documents for a quick

reference for yourself.

* stress through transportation, rough handling, fear, fighting and/or botched

stunning reduces the amount of Glycogen in the animal which turns into Lactic

Acid after the animal has blead out. Low levels ofLactic Acid in pigs "Pale Soft

Exudative" (PSE) meat is usually unsellable, and the pork industry loses $275

million/year on meat that has to be discarded. In cattle and sheep "Dark Firm Dry"

(DFD) meat is tough, dry, acidic and dark, and like PSE meat, it has a shorter shelf

life. Enough of the PSE meat is disguised as ground, thus reducing the losses

enough that it is still not a financial benefit for the use of more humane slaughter

arrangements.

Thank you very much for reviewing our letter and documentation. We are looking

forward to a timely response regarding the Class "E" Licensing.

Gary and Karen Persson

SOCIETY

Letter of Support

January 30 2018

To: Whom it may concern.

Regarding: Letter of support request.

From: Golden Agricultural Society.

The Golden Agricultural Society is a new society that operates in the Golden area and withinColumbia Shuswap Regional District Area A. We are a group of farmers that are workingtogether to try and increase local food production in our region, as well as economicopportunities for local agriculturalists by, engaging in activities that are helping promoteagriculture.

Please be advised that; the Golden Agricultural Society supports our local Columbia ShuswapRegional District area A agricultural community, In their effort to make the class E licensing moreeasily accessible to our local producers.

The Golden Agricultural Society believes, that local producers big or small should be able toobtain a class E license regardless of their property's relative distance to a class A abattoir.The Golden Agricultural Society would support these above mentioned efforts in regards toclass E licensing if; our local producers are willing to invest and operate their facility within alllegislative obligations to class E licensing.

The Golden Agricultural Society believes in, preserving our producers right in order to producetheir own products on their own farms, regardless of their properties relative distance to a classA abattoir. This may be a more feasible option for certain producers management skills andstyles that may not work in conjunction with their local class A abattoir.

The Golden Agricultural Society is in strong support of class A abattoirs as there is a need forthese facilities. The Golden Agricultural Society respects the financial commitment made by theoperators but also; believes that a producer should have a fair chance at the option of being asuccessful applicant for class E licensing if they so wish to do so, in order to have a betterchance at their economic well being for them and their families.

Jesse CourteauPresidentGolden Agricultural Society.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 17, 2018

WORKING WATERFRONT TRAIL, LOOKOUTS WILL BRING VISITORS TO SAYWARD

COURTENAY – Tourism is evolving, from a passive pursuit where people simply look at attractions, to an active, experiential event where visitors can be immersed in the history and culture of a place.

The Village of Sayward is embarking on a plan to create an experiential tourism asset, giving visitors an insight to the fishing and forestry industries that are the heart of the community’s working waterfront. This project will form part of a growing network of visitor amenities focused on the region’s rich resource sector history.

The project is being funded with $183,000 from the Island Coastal Economic Trust as well as contributions from the BC Rural Dividend Fund and the Village of Sayward.

“This is excellent news for the Village of Sayward,” said Claire Trevena, MLA North Island and Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. “The new amenities should attract more visitors and businesses into the area.”

The multi-phase Working Waterfront project will create new assets including a trail, gateway, and lookout, and feature historical and cultural information highlighting the community’s history in fishing and forestry.

“The waterfront trail and lookouts will leverage Sayward’s history as a former ‘company town’, and the ongoing activities in forestry and fishing, to attract and educate visitors,” said ICET Chair Phil Kent.

The first phase of the project will see construction of a 1.6km gravel trail; creation of ‘The Gateway’ area that features a defined entry point, way finding signage, and extensive historical and cultural information, as well as parking and landscaping.

One of the highlights of the first phase of the project will be the construction of the ‘Boom Boat Ballet Lookout’. Positioned overlooking the Western Forest Products booming grounds, the lookout will invite visitors to read about the history of forestry in the Sayward Valley and provide them with a front-row view the current operations in front of them – including the intricate dance of the boom boats, known as the ‘Boom Boat Ballet’.

Located at a natural stopping point for visitors travelling to the North Island and back, the project will attract new visitors and encourage visitors stopping in to stay longer.

“The project is already spurring interest in the expansion of existing hospitality businesses and attracting new service providers, eco-tourism operators and residential development,” said Village of Sayward Mayor John McDonald. “This project will also complement and support new initiatives such as a plan for a First Nations and Fishing interpretive centre, which we are working to develop with the K’omox First Nation as well as community based resource sector partners.”

The project, with a total budget of $367,250, will begin construction this spring, with completion forecast for October 2018.

Bamfield Inlet and faces west towards Trevor Channel. There is a steep incline running from east to west through most of the property, from Brady’s Beach Trail down to the water. A single family dwelling is currently on the property in the southwest section of the lot. There are single family residences to the east and south of the lot, an undeveloped acreage to the north, and Pacific Ocean to the west.

ii) Services

a. Sewage Disposal: On-site sewage disposal. b. Water Supply: Bamfield Community Water System. c. Fire Protection: Bamfield Volunteer Fire Department d. Access: Access for the property is off Brady’s Beach Trail.

iii) Existing Planning Policies Affecting the Site

a. Agricultural Land Reserve: Not within the Agricultural Land Reserve.

b. Official Community Plan: The Bamfield Official Community Plan designates the property as “Residential Use”. Policies associated with this designation support a range of residential densities based on good planning principles and infrastructure capabilities.

The OCP designates two Development Permit Areas (DPA) that impact development on this property: “Development Permit Area I – Riparian Areas Protection” and “Development Permit Area II – Natural Hazard Areas Protection”. Any future development on the property within these areas would require a development permit, but a development permit is not a condition of this rezoning and will be addressed at the subdivision stage of development. The proposal complies with the policies and objectives of the Bamfield Community Plan.

c. Zoning:

Zoning Bulk and Site Regulations

A2 District (existing) RA3 District (proposed) Minimum Lot Area: 5 acres 25834.23 sq. ft.

Minimum Lot Width: 330 feet 98.425 feet Lot Coverage: - 15%

Electoral Areas "A" (Bamfield), "B" (Beaufort), "C" (Long Beach), "D" (Sproat Lake), "E" (Beaver Creek) and "F" (Cherry Creek)

The applicants intend to rezone the property from Rural (A1) District to Acreage Residential (RC) District to allow for a two-lot subdivision creating a 0.6 acre New Lot A and a remainder lot of 1 acre. The remainder lot meets the required width for most of the property except the western third, where the width drops, though the average width of the property as calculated by ACRD staff still exceeds the minimum required for RA3 zoning. The applicants have also expressed interest in purchasing the adjacent road allowance (Bowsprit Road) to the north of the property. If they do acquire this land, a three-lot subdivision may be possible under RA3 zoning regulation. The road allowance is in place to ensure public access to the ocean, and planning staff would not be supportive of any proposal that would restrict or delete this access. The owners may wish to explore options with MoTI for retaining public access if they do acquire the property and wish to further subdivide. As per ACRD Zoning Bylaw s. 5.2(2), where a zoning district boundary follows a road allowance, the centre line of that allowance shall be the zoning district boundary, as shown in the Schedule ‘A’ associated with Bylaw P1374.

The proposal requires a rezoning of the subject property from Rural (A2) District to Acreage Residential (RA3) District in order to accommodate the proposed development.

Comments:

1. Confirmation from a Registered On-Site Wastewater Practitioner that an on-site sewage disposal system can be designed and installed to meet the sewerage regulations of the proposed development will be required prior to rezoning.

2. Review by Environmental Services staff to ensure that the Bamfield Water System can

accommodate the additional density on the property will be required prior to rezoning.

3. Meeting all technical referral agency requirements will be required prior to rezoning. The development proposal requires a zoning amendment for a two-lot subdivision. The applicants intend to sell the proposed New Lot made up of the northern 0.6 acre portion in order to finance property improvements on the remainder lot that they will retain ownership of. The proposal fits with the Bamfield OCP and provides a good opportunity for infill development. Planning staff are supportive of the application and recommend that the Board proceed with first reading of the associated bylaw and delegate the public hearing to the area director or alternate director.

Electoral Areas "A" (Bamfield), "B" (Beaufort), "C" (Long Beach), "D" (Sproat Lake), "E" (Beaver Creek) and "F" (Cherry Creek)

Comments: The issuance of this temporary use permit would allow the applicants to move accommodation and washroom trailers onto the subject property for the purpose of housing workers. These accommodations are required to meet housing needs for the 2018 summer season. Prior to their use as residential accommodations, inspection by an ACRD Building Inspector will be necessary to determine compliance with the BC Building Code. The applicants have indicated that they are installing a sewage system that will be capable of accommodating the proposed accommodations. They have also applied to connect to the Bamfield Community Water System. Confirmation from a Registered Onsite Wastewater Practitioner that a sewage system can be designed and installed to accommodate the proposed development is necessary prior to final approval of the TUP. Review by Environmental Services to ensure that the Bamfield Community Water System can handle the increased demand is also required. The attached images were supplied by the applicant to demonstrate the appearance of the proposed buildings. In an email to staff, the two sleeping trailers were described as 55 feet long and 10.5 feet wide, with the washroom trailer 40 feet long and 10.5 feet wide. The applicants discussed updating the siding on the trailers in order to make them more aesthetically pleasing. Staff encourage them to pursue this as a condition of the TUP. Planning staff are supportive of this application and recommend that the Board consider issuing TUP18008 subject to:

• Neighbouring properties being notified as per Local Government Act s.494; • Confirmation from a Registered Onsite Wastewater Practitioner that an adequate

sewerage system can be designed and installed; • Updated siding on buildings as discussed with applicant; • Submitting a parking layout plan; • Submitting an updated site layout indicating that the trailers will be placed on the A2

portion of the property; • Submitting emergency management and security plans to the ACRD; and • Meeting all technical referral agency requirements.

Background On April 11, 2018 the Board reviewed an application for a development variance permit for LOT 4, SECTION 88, CLAYOQUOT DISTRICT, PLAN 28943. The Board resolved that this application proceed to the next stage of the variance process. This involved notifying all neighbouring property owners and residents within 100 meters of the property, which has been completed. No written correspondence has been received to date. If any objections or responses are received prior to the April 25, 2018 Board meeting, staff will inform the Board. The development variance permit will reduce the required watercourse setback from 100 feet (30.48m) to 50 feet (15.24m) to allow for greater flexibility in the siting of an accessory building and associated accessory dwelling unit on the property. Currently there is a single family dwelling and a small accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on this property. When the owner applies for a building permit for the new ADU, as part of the building permit process staff will ensure that the existing ADU is decommissioned or made uninhabitable prior to an occupancy permit being issued. The ACRD zoning bylaw only permits one ADU per lot.

Development Variance Application MEETING DATE: April 25, 2018 ACRD FILE NO.: DVD18006 APPLICANTS: Ken and Connie Spillman LEGAL DESCRIPTION: STRATA LOT 2, DISTRICT 148, ALBERNI DISTRICT, STRATA PLAN 826

TOGETHER WITH AN INTEREST IN THE COMMON PROPERTY IN PROPORTION TO THE UNIT ENTITLEMENT OF THE STRATA LOT AS SHOWN ON FORM 1

LOCATION: 10028B Lakeshore Rd. ELECTORAL AREA: “D” Sproat Lake APPLICANT’S INTENTION: The applicant has applied for a development variance permit to increase the allowable height for an accessory building in an “R” District located 10 feet from a side property line from 15’6” to 22’2”. Recommendation: THAT the Board of Directors is, at this time, disposed to deny this application. Prior to doing so, the Board wishes to offer the applicants the opportunity to present their own case as to why this matter should not be denied. Note: Should the Board wish to gather more information from neighbours, a resolution to consider issuance of Development Variance Permit DVD18004, subject to neighbouring properties being notified as per Local Government Act s.499, would be appropriate.

Electoral Areas "A" (Bamfield), "B" (Beaufort), "C" (Long Beach), "D" (Sproat Lake), "E" (Beaver Creek) and "F" (Cherry Creek)

Observations:

i. Status of Property: The 0.52 acre lot is located in a 5 lot bare land strata development accessed off Lakeshore Road. The strata subdivision was developed in 1980. The property is almost entirely cleared and slopes up slightly from the front (east) to the rear (west) and is surrounded by other residential development. There is currently a single family dwelling on the northern side of the property.

ii. Services a. Sewage Disposal: On-site septic system (common strata sewage system). b. Water Supply: On-site water system (Sproat Lake). c. Fire Protection: Sproat Lake Volunteer Fire Department. d. Access: Access to the property is off Lakeshore Road, via the strata road servicing the

subdivision.

iii. Existing Planning Policies Affecting the Site a. Agricultural Land Reserve: Not within the Agricultural Land Reserve.

b. Official Community Plan: The Sproat Lake Official Community Plan (OCP) designates the

subject property as Residential Use.

There are no Development Permit Areas that impact development on this lot.

The variance complies with the policies and objectives of the Sproat Lake OCP. c. Zoning: The property is zoned Acreage Residential (RA1) District.

Permitted Proposed Accessory building height

with 10’ side yard setback: 15’6” 22’2”

The property owner is applying to increase the allowable height for an accessory building in an “R” District located 10 feet from a side property line from 15’6” to 22’2”. Other than the requested variance, the proposal complies with the requirements of the ACRD Zoning Bylaw. The applicant is applying for a development variance to increase the allowable height of an accessory building approximately 7 feet to comply with the ACRD Zoning Bylaw.

Comments:

The applicant has a building permit application submitted with the ACRD for the accessory building, and under review from ACRD Building Inspectors it was determined that a

Electoral Areas "A" (Bamfield), "B" (Beaufort), "C" (Long Beach), "D" (Sproat Lake), "E" (Beaver Creek) and "F" (Cherry Creek)

development variance permit would be necessary for the construction to proceed as planned. The applicant was reluctant to deviate from the submitted plans and so has chosen to apply for a variance to allow for the increase in height. The applicant has not provided any evidence of necessity for the variance to the ACRD other than the presence of some landscaping that would make an alternate siting difficult. Planning staff are not supportive of the requested permit due to the lack of any compelling reason provided by the applicant for the sizable variance required. If the Board wishes to gather more information from neighbours, a resolution to consider issuance of Development Variance Permit DVD18004, subject to neighbouring properties being notified as per Local Government Act s.499, would be appropriate.

Observations:  

i. Status of Property: The 0.49 hectare (1.21 acre) property on Sproat Lake is mostly treed. The property has a gentle downward slope in the north‐south direction from the road to a rock bluff adjacent to the lake where the topography drops substantially into the lake. There is a house located on the south end of the property adjacent to the rock bluff at the lakefront and an accessory building to the north of the house.  

ii. Services  a. Sewage Disposal: On‐site sewage disposal. b. Water Supply: Individual water intake from the lake. c. Fire Protection: Sproat Lake Volunteer Fire Department. d.  Access: There is one driveway access to the property from Taylor Arm Drive. 

 iii. Existing Planning Policies Affecting the Site 

 a. Agricultural Land Reserve: Not within the ALR. 

 b. Official Community Plan: The property is designated “Residential Use” in the Sproat Lake 

OCP. This designation provides for residential use. The OCP designates a Development Permit Area that impacts development on this property: “Development Permit Area I – Riparian Areas Protection”.   Development Permit Area I – Riparian Areas Protection DPA I includes all lands within 30 metres of a major stream and 15 metres of a minor stream. Sproat Lake is defined as a minor stream for the purposes of the Development Permit Area in the OCP. This designation is used to ensure that the ecological values of sensitive riparian and wetland habitats have been considered prior to development, and that measures will be taken to limit or avoid damage to these ecosystems.  The applicants have submitted an environmental assessment prepared by D.R. Clough Consulting dated September 4, 2016. The report notes that two significant trees were removed within the DPA but this was unavoidable as they posed a hazard to the existing house. It is recommended that an arborist be consulted to advise on tree maintenance for the remaining trees within the DPA. The biologist does not recommend planting any trees in the bedrock substrate in the riparian area but does encourage the small native shrubbery along the foreshore and on the bedrock bluff to be maintained.  The report provides a DPA Protection Plan to follow during construction which includes no further disturbance of native trees within the DP area, sediment control given the proximity to the lake and prevention of any construction materials or concrete entering the lake.  The D.R. Clough Consulting report satisfies the requirements of “DPA I – Riparian Areas Protection” and the development permit would be issued following the issuance of the

 The proposed deck replaces an older deck that was demolished in 2016. The new deck has the main supporting structure in place including new concrete footings drilled into the bedrock and new supporting framework. The new deck encompasses a slightly larger footprint to the previous deck on the south side facing the lake. An access ramp has been constructed to provide access into the west side of the house from ground level.  The applicants have provided a BCLS survey dated October 16, 2017 which sites the partially‐constructed new deck. The deck is located 2.3 metres (7.5 feet) from the west side lot line and 3.7 metres (12.1 feet) from the front lot line at its closest point.   Section 6.13 of the Zoning Bylaw allows for a maximum projection of 6 feet into a required front, rear or side yard setback for open porches. Given the required setbacks in the RA1 District, the minimum setbacks from the edge of the deck structure to the lot lines would be 9 feet from the side yard and 34 feet from the front yard.  

Comments:   The property owner is applying for the variances to allow a building permit to be issued for the completion of the new deck structure. The new deck replaces an old deck which had a similar footprint but was structurally compromised. The construction was initiated without a building permit and has been halted since 2016. The deck is located 2.4 metres (7.8 feet) from the present natural boundary of the lake at its closest point although the footings are built on the top of a bedrock outcrop.  Planning staff recommends that the Board proceed with the neighbour notification process for this variance application, and consider any neighbour input in the decision making process.    Submitted by:    _______________________________________         Alex Dyer, Planner

V9Y 5H9 259-720-9319 RE: Sproat Lake DPA, Bailey Property Environmental Assessment. Introduction: The builder on behalf of landowner (Bailey) has requested this assessment in order to rebuild deck on the beach frontage. This study looks at the development plans with respect to the foreshore 15m DPA on Sproat Lake within the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District. Methods: A site inspection of the property was conducted by David Clough, RP Bio and Braden Judson, Fisheries Technician on June 29, 2016. The site was inspected for its ecological features and the deck layout. Site Location: 10846 Taylor Arm Drive, Lot 21, DL 622, Clayoquot District VIP 12452. PID # 004-762-045 Area Description: This is shoreline property looking south onto Sproat Lake from Taylor Arm Drive. The treed lot is gently sloping with a sharp drop at the lake. There is a single driveway on the back side of the lot. The lot has a main residence along the lake frontage and a smaller storage/shop/car park building on the back side. The lake frontage has a ramp to a floating boat dock. The main house sits approximately 6.0 m back from an elevated bedrock outcrop. The rock rises up approximately 2.5 m from the existing water level. The proposed deck area has the main supporting framework and concrete anchors installed. The proposed deck is entirely within the DPA area. The old deck was stripped away , two larger trees within the DPA were removed and construction had been initiated on a new deck; with footings and framework done. DPA Plant Community: The DPA vegetation is located on either side of the previously built house. The east and west sides of the property have stands of predominantly Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga mensiesii). The house is nested inside this grove of trees. These larger second growth trees shade the house and the lake from the north side. . The immediate foreshore where the deck is proposed has a solitary tree and the stumps of two recently removed trees. These two trees were significant size and would have shaded the foreshore. They were also within 2.0 m of the house and were identified as danger trees to the dwelling. The substrate under the deck area is primarily bare bedrock with no significant plant community. On the rock bluff shore line there are some short shrubs and sapling trees growing from crevices. DPA Area;

The DPA along Sproat Lake is 15.0m wide from the High Water Mark. The front part of the existing house and all of the proposed deck sit in the DPA area. The HWM was not identified at the time of the survey. DPA Development Plans: The property owner is replacing their front deck. The old deck is gone but the old footprint is still visible. The new deck is slightly longer and wider (see property plan). Some new deck footings have been poured down over the side of the rock bluff overlooking the lake shore. With no property pins observed, it is difficult to say if all these footings are on the property. They must be moved if below the property line HWM. This would reduce the deck length by only a few feet but permit plant growth on the only area remaining. It would also reduce construction concerns as work would be further back from the lake water edge. DPA Enhancement Plans: We encourage the management and preservation of existing trees in the lot as they affect the health of the lake. The property owners have preserved many significant trees on the property and they are high value to the lake environment. Planting trees or shrubs in the bedrock substrate along the deck edges is not likely to be successful and not recommended. The small native shrubbery along the foreshore and on the bedrock bluff should be encouraged and harm avoided. We recommend an arborist be consulted should any other trees be removed in the DPA as they can advise on tree maintenance on issues of removal, maintenance and replacement. DPA Protection Plan: The following advice is recommended for protection during construction by the owner or contractor.

1.) The deck footings must be above the legal High Water Mark 2.) There shall be no disturbance of any other native trees and shrubs in the DPA Area

(unless consulted). 3.) Install a sediment fence to control construction waste given the proximity to the lake to the

shore side. 4.) Construction materials such as pressure treated wood must not enter the lake. 5.) The contractor shall not pour any concrete in the lake or wash tools in the lake. 6.) Construction processes must be contained within the working area and limit the disturbed

area for access with designated fencing/barriers.

Discussion: The proposed Deck plans replace a pre-existing deck with a wider and longer structure. It projects out further towards the lake with new footing placements out a few feet beyond the old deck and are now situated over the bedrock bluff. They may be within the lake HWM. The new location of the front footings must be above the HWM. The adjustment if needed will protect the foreshore from encroachment and lessen the impact on the remaining small shrubbery growing on the bluff. This is an older property with a pre-DPA house situated very close to the lake and within the treed riparian area. As such the owners had to remove the trees that were threatening the house. Given the setting this situation is unavoidable for occupant safety. The owners have preserved many trees on the property on either side of the house which do provide riparian function. It does provide an example of why the new 15m DPA will lessen the danger to new property owners on the lake. Yours Truly,

Dave Clough RPBio

TEMPORARY USE PERMIT APPLICATION TO: Regional Board of Directors MEETING DATE: April 25, 2018 TEMPORARY USE PERMIT APPLICATION #: TUP18005 APPLICANT: Bette Broome LEGAL DESCRIPTION: LOT 1, DISTRICT LOT 120, ALBERNI DISTRICT, PLAN VIP81178 LOCATION: 9290 Stirling Arm Dr. ELECTORAL AREA: “D” Sproat Lake Applicant’s Intention: To continue seasonal operation of a short term vacation rental unit located on the bottom floor of the applicant’s three-storey house.

and west, Sproat Lake to the south, and Stirling Arm Drive to the north.

2. Services: (a) Sewage Disposal: On - site septic. (b) Water Supply: On - site water (Sproat Lake). (c) Fire Protection: Sproat Lake Volunteer Fire Department. (d) Access: Access to the property is off Stirling Arm Drive.

3. Existing Planning Documents Affecting the Site:

A. Agricultural Land Reserve: Not within the ALR.

B. Official Community Plan: The Sproat Lake Official Community Plan (OCP)

designates this property as “Residential Use”. This designation supports the residential use as the primary use of the property.

Section 3.2 of the OCP contains general planning policies that apply to all properties within the OCP area. Policy 3.2.11 in this section allows the issuing of temporary use permits at the discretion of the Regional Board of Directors in accordance with s. 493 of the Local Government Act. The OCP designates a Development Permit Area (DPA) that impacts development on this property: “Development Permit Area I – Riparian Areas Protection”. This DPA extends to areas within 15 metres of Sproat Lake measured from the high water mark, along the western boundary of the subject property. This DPA is intended to minimize negative environmental impacts from development activities. The issuance of this TUP will not trigger DPA requirements. The proposal complies with the policies and objectives of the Sproat Lake OCP. A TUP may be issued to allow the use requested for the subject property.

C. Zoning: The property is zoned Acreage Residential (RA1) District. This zoning

designation does not allow short-term vacation rentals, though accessory dwelling units are permitted on properties greater than 1 acre in size.

Under Section 493 of the Local Government Act, the Regional District may issue a Temporary Use Permit, by resolution, in areas designated in an Official Community Plan. A Temporary Use Permit may do one or more of the following:

i. Allow a use not permitted under the Zoning Bylaw; ii. Specify conditions under which the temporary use may be carried;

Electoral Areas "A" (Bamfield), "B" (Beaufort), "C" (Long Beach), "D" (Sproat Lake), "E" (Beaver Creek) and "F" (Cherry Creek)

iii. Allow and regulate the construction of buildings or structures in respect of the use for which the permit is issued.

Where a temporary use permit is designated in an OCP, the Regional District must give notice to the public in accordance with the requirements of the Act, which includes notifying the neighbouring property owners and tenants, and publishing a notice in the newspaper. The Temporary Use Permit is valid for up to 3 years and may be renewed by the Regional District once. After this time has expired, the property owner must apply to rezone the property to allow for the continued use or discontinue the specified use. A Short-term Vacation Rentals Temporary Use Permit Policy was adopted by the Board on January 24, 2018, and is attached to this report. This policy specifies regulatory areas, notification requirements, terms and renewals, criteria for evaluation, and conditions that the permit is subject to. For the subject property in the Sproat Lake area of the ACRD, a TUP can be issued for up to 3 years and renewed once as long as the use is seasonal in nature and compatible with the surrounding uses, area, and environment. The submitted application complies with the conditions and requirements set out in the policy. When issuing a TUP, the ACRD may specify conditions that restrict the permit including:

a. The buildings to be used; b. The area of use; c. The hours of use; d. Form and character; e. Environmental protection; f. Site-related restrictions; and g. Any other relevant conditions determined by the ACRD.

Temporary Use Permit:

The Temporary Commercial Use Permit for LOT 1, DISTRICT LOT 120, ALBERNI DISTRICT, PLAN VIP81178 may be subject to the following conditions and any others that the ACRD Board of Directors considers appropriate at the time of issuance: 1. This permit is issued for the operation of a 2 bedroom short-term

vacation rental unit at the subject property.

2. The rental unit is limited to the ground floor suite of the single family dwelling on the subject property.

3. The rental unit shall not change the residential appearance of the single

family dwelling.

4. The owner or a caretaker must live on-site.

5. Contact information for the owner or caretaker and a copy of the TUP must be visible in a public location.

6. This permit is valid for three (3) years from the date of execution.

7. At the time this permit expires, the property owner may apply to the Regional District to have it re-issued for a period of up to three (3) years or return the property to the original use permitted under the current Zoning.

8. If the conditions of this permit are not met or if there is a change of

ownership of the property, the ACRD may rescind or terminate the TUP.

Comments:

Illegal short-term vacation rentals are a growing concern in the ACRD and planning staff have determined that using a TUP program is the most effective method for bringing these units into compliance at the present time.

The ACRD Board of Directors has adopted a policy that outlines the requirements for short-term vacation rental units on Sproat Lake through the issuance of a Temporary Use Permit. The applicant is applying for a this type of Temporary Use Permit to rent out a two-bedroom suite on the ground floor of a house that can accommodate up to six visitors. The applicant lives on site in the upper floors of the same house. The suite is already existing and has been used for both long-term and short-term rentals.

The applicant has regular (previous 4 years) long-term tenants living in the suite during the fall, winter, and spring months, and during the peak summer months (July and August) the suite has been rented on a short term basis. The issuance of this temporary use permit would bring the summer short-term rental of the property into compliance with the ACRD Zoning Bylaw.

The applicant has include documents detailing sewer system capacity and a home

warranty certificate that appear to satisfy policy conditions. The applicant has been clear about

the use, scale, and timeframe of her short-term vacation rental business and has applied through the framework established by the ACRD to deal with short-term vacation rental properties. Subject to final approval, an ACRD Building Inspector will need perform a walk-through of the suite to confirm compliance with all policy and safety requirements.

Planning staff are supportive of this application and recommend that the Regional Board consider issuing Temporary Use Permit TUP18005 subject to neighbouring properties being notified as per Local Government Act s.494.

TEMPORARY USE PERMIT APPLICATION TO: Regional Board of Directors MEETING DATE: April 25, 2018 TEMPORARY USE PERMIT APPLICATION #: TUP18002 APPLICANT: Richard Bauer/Joe Hawkins LEGAL DESCRIPTION: LOT 3, DISTRICT LOT 135, ALBERNI DISTRICT, PLAN 6543 LOCATION: 2431 Old Nanaimo Highway ELECTORAL AREA: “F” Cherry Creek Applicant’s Intention: The applicant intends to locate and operate a commercial diesel engine repair shop on the subject property, which is currently zoned for residential use. A Temporary Use Permit would allow the temporary legal use of the property for the stated purpose. Recommendation: That the Regional Board consider issuing Temporary Use Permit TUP18002 subject to neighbouring properties being notified as per Local Government Act s.494. Procedure: Prior to the issuance of a Temporary Use Permit, the Board must first pass a resolution to consider issuing the permit.

Electoral Areas "A" (Bamfield), "B" (Beaufort), "C" (Long Beach), "D" (Sproat Lake), "E" (Beaver Creek) and "F" (Cherry Creek)

The area around the house and all of the southern portion of the property has been cleared. To the south, east, and west of the subject property are residential properties, and to the north is undeveloped, treed land.

2. Services:

(a) Sewage Disposal: On-site septic. (b) Water Supply: Cherry Creek Community Water. (c) Fire Protection: Cherry Creek Volunteer Fire Department. (d) Access: Access to the property is off Old Nanaimo Highway.

3. Existing Planning Documents Affecting the Site:

A. Agricultural Land Reserve: Not within the ALR.

B. Official Community Plan: The Cherry Creek OCP designates this property as

“Residential Use”. There are no policies that support commercial or industrial uses or Temporary Use Permits on properties with this designation.

There are no Development Permit Areas that impact the property.

C. Zoning: The property is zoned Small Holdings (A1) District. This zoning

designation does not allow the proposed commercial use of a diesel engine repair shop.

Under Section 493 of the Local Government Act, the Regional District may issue a Temporary Use Permit, by resolution, in areas designated in an Official Community Plan. A Temporary Use Permit may do one or more of the following:

i. Allow a use not permitted under the Zoning Bylaw; ii. Specify conditions under which the temporary use may be carried;

iii. Allow and regulate the construction of buildings or structures in respect of the use for which the permit is issued.

Where a temporary use permit is designated in an OCP, the Regional District must give notice to the public in accordance with the requirements of the Act, which includes notifying the neighbouring property owners and tenants, and publishing a notice in the newspaper.

specified use.

A. Temporary Use Permit:

The Temporary Commercial Use Permit for LOT 3, DISTRICT LOT 135, ALBERNI DISTRICT, PLAN 6543 would be subject to the following conditions: 1. This permit is issued for the operation of a commercial diesel engine

repair shop at the subject property.

2. This permit is granted for the sole use of the applicants and is non-transferable.

3. Hours of operation shall be limited to 9:00am to 5:00 pm, Monday to

Friday.

4. This permit is valid for three (3) years from the date of execution.

5. At the time this permit expires, the property owner may apply to the Regional District to have it re-issued for a period of up to three (3) years or return the property to the original use permitted under the current Zoning.

6. Should the conditions of this permit not be met, the permit will be revoked and any related operations must cease immediately.

Comments: The applicant is seeking a TUP in order to legally operate a diesel engine repair shop at the subject property. A TUP can allow a use on a property that is not permitted under the zoning bylaw for a specific period of time. The diesel repair shop is not currently located at the subject property, but granting the TUP would enable its legal operation there. In 2016, the applicant was granted a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) to operate the business on a different property in Cherry Creek. The business is in the process of attempting to move to the subject property, but the applicant does not wish to proceed through the rezoning process due to time constrictions and is requesting a new TUP for the subject property. The business owner (Joe Hawkins) is seeking to purchase the property from the property owner (Richard Bauer) should the Temporary Use Permit be approved. If it is not approved, the business owner will likely look for another location for the business to operate.

Although the proposed location for the business is surrounded by residential properties, there are other commercial uses in the vicinity further east down Old Nanaimo Highway (refrigeration repair shop and contractor’s marshalling yard). Neighbouring properties have expressed opposition to the granting of the TUP, and ACRD Staff have received an unsolicited letter and petition signed by the owners of many of the neighbouring properties that do not support the application. The letter and petition are attached to this report. Planning staff recommend that the Regional Board move forward with neighbour notification as per Local Government Act s.494 and consider any further input from affected properties in the decision-making process.
