Thank you.

Donovan Cavers <[email protected]> "<[email protected]>" <[email protected]> 31/08/2015 9:05 AM Re: (not urgent) Re: A commercial establishment?

Compassion and generosity are very important in public service.

If I (one day) become 'chair/mayor' I would be honoured to serve my term under your watchful eye. ( extremely large IF)

... once everyone else whom have "had their go" I'll give it my best-est. :)

Cheers!

»»> »> Randy Lambright 28/08/2015 2:30 PM »> »>» Hi Dave .... sorry for the delay in providing an update on your question regarding this property. Dave J has visited the site and has had discussions with both the property owner and the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Resources. For the most part, the activities occurring on the site are in keeping with resource extraction/gravel pit operations. Reclamation of the site is also occurring, as seen in the photo, and has been verified by Dave. The owner is aware that the storage of equipment and materials unrelated to a gravel pit operation is prohibited. Dave will be monitoring the site on a regular basis to ensure compliance. Further, Dave will be following up with Acres Enterprise as they are leasing the site and working the approved gravel pit. I trust this helps. Randy >>>>> >>>>>

I live on and across my very peaceful back yard facing Peterson creek is this new development you see in the picture between the two trees. It is being built on an old unused gravel pit. There has been reclamation done as you can see but here is my worry. The reclamation started last year and at the same time a very slow construction period which this year has been at basically a standstill. I don't know what will be built and how quiet this operation will be but I am starting to think that the pause is connected to the mine which is not far from this place. Is this operation connected to the proposed mine? If yes it could imply that this beautiful area might be destroyed and converted to industrial usage ... \ hope I am wrong but all this recent inactivity seems a little strange. if the project gets the green light will this operate to serve the mine ? Right in the heart of a beautiful residential area? And if this goes ahead who is to stop more commercial and industrial development in the surrounding area. Again I might be paranoid but if you can provide some information about this site ii would be very much appreciated. >»»» <JMAGE.jpeg> >>>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>>>>

Hi David,

Donovan Cavers <[email protected]> David Trawin<[email protected]> Arjun Singh<[email protected]> 30/08/2015 6:25 PM Apology

re ... the aggressive email. The end of my message should have read ...

"Living in the Aberdeen-Duflerin area (I remember you and your wife carpooled me up to [winter 2013 if my memory still functions] which balances off where your mutual fund

holders invest their stocks (from my brief research)."

I try to "save as draft" (to be reconsidered again later) when I 'scratch' out a message to administration during the wee hours ... it would be more fun to be at a pub downtown at 1:30am but that unfortunately(?) that type of thing has never been a something that I enjoyed.

Sincerely,

Donovan Cavers Kamloops City Councillor [email protected] @donovancavers 250.852.2264
