00:06:19.600 Mr. Chair,
00:06:22.560 >> thank you. Good morning to the chair and
00:06:24.639 committee members. I’m presenting for
00:06:27.680 the committee’s consideration
00:06:29.120 environmentally sensitive development
00:06:30.880 permit area ESADP
00:06:33.600 numbered DP1D26.
00:06:36.319 This is an application and a statutory
00:06:38.960 right ofway or SRW for a public trail at
00:06:42.240 4271 4275 and 4281 Island Highway South.
00:06:49.280 There is a current
00:06:52.400 seven lot subdivision application. is a
00:06:54.720 strata subdivision for which both the
00:06:57.199 ESADP and SRW are a condition. The SRW
00:07:02.240 agreement is a community amenity that
00:07:05.039 the property owner volunteered as uh as
00:07:08.080 such at the time of resoning.
00:07:11.360 The three lots, the existing three lots
00:07:13.599 are approximately 60 hectares or 148
00:07:16.639 acres combined and have a land use
00:07:19.759 designation of rural residential and are
00:07:22.319 zoned rural residential community 1.
00:07:26.400 The SRW will provide a public amenity on
00:07:29.919 the site in alignment with the area D
00:07:32.400 OCP and will be located on the proposed
00:07:34.960 lots within the agricultural land
00:07:37.599 reserve of uh buffer of 15 m and that is
00:07:43.199 supported by the agricultural land
00:07:44.800 commission.
00:07:47.199 The ESADP is required as the development
00:07:50.080 is proposed within 30 meters of a water
00:07:52.319 course uh which has been assessed by a
00:07:54.639 QEP and to which riparian areas
00:07:57.199 protection regulation or wrapper applies
00:08:00.319 in addition to the area D OCP
00:08:03.039 development permit area. There was a
00:08:05.919 previous ESADP which was issued based on
00:08:08.639 a rejected rapper report from the
00:08:11.039 qualified environmental professional or
00:08:12.879 QEP at the October 22nd 2025 regional
00:08:16.639 board meeting. The DP was rescended
00:08:19.280 resulting in this new DP application.
00:08:23.360 The province and the SRD has accepted
00:08:25.919 the wrapper report and an additional
00:08:28.400 condition impact assessment or CIA as
00:08:31.840 attached to the report.
00:08:34.719 The project QEP was or has recommended
00:08:38.240 uh stream protection in and enhancement
00:08:41.679 areas for the wetlands and streams on
00:08:44.720 the site and measures to protect both.
00:08:48.320 Attached to the report is uh CIA
00:08:51.680 required to address the unapproved work
00:08:54.640 carried out on the site under the
00:08:56.240 previous DP.
00:08:58.240 The measures within the CIA include
00:09:00.160 restoration of disturbed areas within
00:09:02.000 the SPIA, removal of invasive species,
00:09:05.040 installation of permanent ESA fencing,
00:09:07.839 and environmental monitoring of the
00:09:09.920 work. A post-development report will be
00:09:12.160 received from the QEP to report on the
00:09:14.720 implementation of the protection
00:09:16.880 measures. And at time of future
00:09:19.440 development, a building permit, for
00:09:21.600 example, uh an ESADP application from
00:09:24.399 new owners is required in accordance
00:09:26.959 with wrapper.
00:09:29.760 The instream subdivision application
00:09:32.800 uh can receive a letter of approval from
00:09:35.040 the SRD should the DP be approved and
00:09:38.000 the SRW registered on title of the lots
00:09:42.399 based on the accepted QEP reporting and
00:09:44.640 the public benefit of the SRW provided
00:09:47.040 by the applicant. The issuance of the DP
00:09:49.600 and the registration on title of the SRW
00:09:52.560 is supportable.
00:09:54.480 >> Thank you. Happy to answer any
00:09:56.080 questions.
00:09:56.560 >> Anything from director?
00:09:58.000 You got any comments there?
00:09:59.279 >> Thank you, chair. I’m just happy to see
00:10:01.279 that this is moving forward again. Um
00:10:04.320 there was a lot of issues last year, so
00:10:06.399 uh I’m glad to see that it is being
00:10:08.320 sorted out. Thank you,
00:10:11.120 >> Mr. Wood.
00:10:12.560 >> Thank you, Chair. I have a question. Um
00:10:15.440 you mentioned uh in your introduction
00:10:18.079 here SRWs, which I think means uh
00:10:20.880 statutory rightway, and that’s related
00:10:23.040 to the trail that’s mentioned in the
00:10:24.880 report. I just when I was looking at the
00:10:27.920 report and the map that was provided in
00:10:31.120 schedule B, I couldn’t seem to
00:10:33.040 understand or see any indication of
00:10:35.680 where the trail was except for the fact
00:10:37.600 that in the report it mentions that it’s
00:10:39.279 been moved. Could you speak to where it
00:10:41.839 actually will be?
00:10:44.959 Thank you through the chair. There is a
00:10:47.279 uh schedule A as an attachment to the
00:10:49.600 SRW agreement and that is registered on
00:10:53.440 title as well and it was um intended to
00:10:57.040 be attached to the SRW agreement. Um if
00:11:00.320 you have not received it, it’s something
00:11:01.839 that could be provided. Um the S SRW is
00:11:06.079 registered or proposed registered along
00:11:08.320 the common property and along uh two
00:11:13.040 three of the proposed lots. So the
00:11:16.240 common property road of the strata lots
00:11:18.640 will become uh part of the public access
00:11:22.800 trail and then as it goes to the west
00:11:27.200 from the highway it will cross over
00:11:30.000 frontage of three of the proposed lots.
00:11:36.240 >> If I may have a follow-up chair. Uh well
00:11:38.640 I appreciate that information and in the
00:11:41.440 report that we received schedule A is a
00:11:44.320 very simple map from uh SR map staff I
00:11:48.959 suppose um it would be great if um that
00:11:52.880 information could be included in this
00:11:54.959 report or in this in this package be as
00:11:57.839 I believe that it’ll go from here to the
00:12:01.200 board and it would be nice if that
00:12:03.440 information was included there just for
00:12:05.839 the public and anybody that would like
00:12:07.920 to see where that trail will be. And uh
00:12:12.240 I was just had one other question if I
00:12:15.120 may and that was around um the report
00:12:18.399 talks about that there’s a man-made
00:12:20.639 blockage to the fish stream which is on
00:12:24.480 I think the adjacent property which
00:12:27.120 connects to the wetlands on on this
00:12:28.720 property that we’re discussing. I was
00:12:30.560 curious if there are any tools in our
00:12:32.079 toolbox or the province’s toolbox to
00:12:34.720 compel removal of the rock blockage
00:12:37.760 which would open proper access as it was
00:12:40.480 historically to fish to the greater
00:12:42.320 wetland complex which it the report
00:12:44.720 indicates there is coo and stickleback
00:12:47.279 in the lower parts of the creek.
00:12:50.639 Thank you through the chair. The fish
00:12:53.279 weir that you’re uh referring to is
00:12:56.000 historical was in place on an adjacent
00:12:59.279 property. That’s correct. Um with
00:13:02.399 development um a recommendation from the
00:13:04.880 province could be made or through the uh
00:13:07.760 water sustainability act application um
00:13:11.040 if any works are proposed.
00:13:14.399 That type of work is not uh regularly
00:13:18.079 undertaken without development taking
00:13:20.000 place. So that’s when we ant would
00:13:21.839 anticipate some sort of comment around
00:13:23.440 that.
00:13:25.279 >> Okay. Thank you.
00:13:27.279 >> All right. Call a question and receipt.
00:13:28.639 All those in favor? That’s unanimous and
00:13:31.279 carried. Director Rice like officer be
00:13:34.399 authorized to issue the permit.
00:13:36.720 >> Second.
00:13:37.360 >> Thank you. Director Winny. Any
00:13:38.639 discussion on that? Seeing none. All
00:13:40.639 those in favor
00:13:43.040 and that unanimous again. That’s
00:13:44.560 carried. Thank you. Number two. Request
00:13:47.120 for fun relief. Mchuan have priority D
00:13:50.160 for receipt.
00:13:51.360 >> Move receipt.
00:13:54.560 Need a
00:13:54.800 >> seconder.
00:13:55.519 >> Oh, second.
00:13:57.600 >> And I believe Kelty will speak to this
00:13:59.120 as well.
00:14:01.120 >> Thank you. Yes. For the committee’s
00:14:03.279 consideration, there is a frontage
00:14:05.360 relief application for two proposed lots
00:14:07.920 related to an active subdivision
00:14:09.839 application in electoral area D at 4050
00:14:13.279 Deerfield Road. The property is located
00:14:16.399 on a culde-sac at the end of Deer
00:14:18.480 Deerfield Road.
00:14:20.560 It has a land use designation of country
00:14:23.120 residential and is zoned country
00:14:25.199 residential 3 and is a total of
00:14:27.519 approximately 2.5 hectares
00:14:31.199 or sorry 1 hectare 2.5 acres. The
00:14:34.800 subdivision plan as shown within the
00:14:36.480 report proposes to equally divide the
00:14:38.720 lot and due to the existing
00:14:40.959 configuration of the parcel. The 10%
00:14:43.440 frontage requirement cannot be met and
00:14:46.399 it’s proposed for lot A as 4.95%
00:14:50.639 and lot B 5.63%
00:14:53.839 which requires frontage relief or
00:14:56.079 exemption. Frontage requirements are to
00:14:59.120 ensure adequate access uh is provided to
00:15:02.560 the lots.
00:15:04.800 Given the site constraints and that the
00:15:07.440 proposed frontage for lots will be
00:15:09.279 approximately 25 m which is suitable for
00:15:11.680 access and egress to the properties. The
00:15:14.560 frontage relief is supportable. Thank
00:15:16.880 you again
00:15:18.639 >> directors
00:15:20.800 on receipt. All those in favor
00:15:24.240 unanimous and carries. It’s a motion.
00:15:25.600 Director Ice

00:15:33.519 uh paragraph 2 of the local government
00:15:35.360 act that the board approve the frontage
00:15:37.600 relief application for the two proposed
00:15:39.600 lots at 4050 Deerfield Road from the
00:15:42.880 required 10% to 4.95% for lot A and
00:15:47.600 5.63%
00:15:49.120 for lot B.
00:15:50.399 >> Second.

00:15:53.600 favor?
00:15:55.759 That’s unanimous and carried. Item

00:17:20.160 In addition, the environmental
00:17:22.640 monitoring of work and the and of the
00:17:25.520 water turbidity will be completed and

00:17:32.960 been done in accordance with the
00:17:35.200 recommendations within the rapper report
00:17:37.039 will be received by the SRD. Should
00:17:39.440 there be any deficiencies, the QEP will
00:17:41.520 make recommendations to address those.
00:17:44.559 And based on provincial and SRD
00:17:46.559 acceptance of the report and of the
00:17:48.799 recommendations, the issuance of the

00:18:43.039 I believe Meredith will speak to this.
00:18:45.440 >> Uh thank you through the chair. Uh so
00:18:48.000 this uh report is to consider extension
00:18:50.080 of an existing easement to provide
00:18:52.000 access to the developable area of a
00:18:54.160 strata lot 5 within a proposed
00:18:55.760 subdivision on Quadra Island. Uh the
00:18:58.320 application of a new five lot bareland
00:19:01.360 strata uh subdivision has been received
00:19:03.440 by the ministry and referred to the SRD.
00:19:06.320 Due to the environmentally sensitive
00:19:07.919 areas and geotechnical conditions of the
00:19:10.240 proposed strata lot 5, an easement is
00:19:13.280 sought over a portion of SRD property
00:19:15.360 legally described as lot B district lot
00:19:17.760 134 sayward district plan BIP 64198
00:19:21.679 located at 617 Green Road. Under this
00:19:24.799 plan, proposed uh strata lot 5 will be
00:19:27.440 bisected by an existing driveway that
00:19:29.520 currently provides access by easement to
00:19:31.679 several adjacent properties, including
00:19:33.520 the SRD property at 617 Green Road.
00:19:37.520 A separate easement, VIP 64199,
00:19:40.799 currently exists over the same portion
00:19:43.200 of the SRD property that we are seeking
00:19:45.440 an easement for today. Uh so this
00:19:48.640 easement currently lengthens the
00:19:50.320 driveway access for the uh adjacent
00:19:52.320 properties and the request under
00:19:54.640 consideration is to uh share that
00:19:57.039 existing easement with the newly
00:19:58.960 proposed stratal lot 5.
00:20:01.760 Doing so would enable us to or enable
00:20:04.000 the future owner to access the
00:20:06.400 developable area of the proposed lot
00:20:08.400 strat proposed stratal lot without
00:20:10.960 passing through an environmentally
00:20:12.400 sensitive area. So given the above
00:20:14.799 constraints of proposed stratal lot 5,
00:20:17.120 the requested easement is supportable.
00:20:19.280 Thank you
00:20:21.760 >> directors. Director Mooney.
00:20:24.720 >> Thank you chair and um it thank you uh
00:20:29.120 for the report. I have a couple of
00:20:31.679 questions
00:20:33.200 um and they’re mostly because around lot
00:20:37.440 B being where our sewer plant is in Q
00:20:40.640 Cove. And um so I guess my first
00:20:44.159 question is is that if we’re extending
00:20:46.640 an easement um would that potentially
00:20:52.240 have a future negative consequence
00:20:55.679 um if we need to upgrade our sewer plant
00:20:58.159 and take up more space on the lot that
00:21:00.640 we might need in the future.
00:21:02.559 >> No.
00:21:04.159 Okay. Okay. That’s that’s good. The the
00:21:06.960 portion of the lot is currently a
00:21:08.640 driveway access for that lot. Um, so
00:21:11.600 it’s currently driveway and it would re
00:21:13.440 be retained as existing driveway.
00:21:15.679 >> Okay. So it’s not extending the
00:21:20.000 uh it’s not extending because I think
00:21:21.360 you said extending the easement.
00:21:23.679 >> Extending here is we’re extending the
00:21:25.520 permission to access this uh a piece of
00:21:28.240 land. You could think of it as sharing
00:21:30.240 driveway access if that
00:21:32.400 >> right. Okay.
00:21:33.600 >> Makes more sense.
00:21:34.320 >> That’s helpful. And so I also have
00:21:37.440 another question. Um because this map I
00:21:41.280 would imagine based on the size and the
00:21:43.840 constraints of this area that they will
00:21:45.280 be accessing the sewer system and it
00:21:48.640 looks as if the uh potential subdivision
00:21:51.760 will be have sharing a border along
00:21:54.320 Green Road. And I’m curious if this will
00:21:57.919 also extend the sewer service along
00:21:59.919 Green Road because I know you’ve we’ve
00:22:01.679 we’ve had conversations at this table
00:22:03.600 recently
00:22:05.120 um about about the cost of bringing the
00:22:08.240 sewer service along to the end of the
00:22:11.280 catchment area of the sewer service at
00:22:13.679 the other end of Green Road.
00:22:14.960 >> That is not contemplated as part of this
00:22:16.960 uh request today or the subdivision
00:22:18.799 itself.
00:22:21.120 >> Okay. So, we don’t it could be in the
00:22:24.320 future. We just don’t know. Is that what
00:22:25.679 I’m hearing?
00:22:26.320 >> Um, it’s it’s not part of the current
00:22:28.720 request. So, it’s not a the answer to
00:22:31.280 that question isn’t relevant to the
00:22:32.559 current need.
00:22:34.400 >> Okay. And my last question is around the
00:22:37.520 statutory right ofways that are on the
00:22:39.440 map on page four. They talk um about and
00:22:44.880 I’m not sure if those SRWs are already
00:22:47.440 in place or if they will be in place
00:22:48.960 once this is completed. And I’m curious
00:22:51.760 if those are publicly accessible and
00:22:55.120 will they connect with the property
00:22:56.640 which shares a tiny small boundary um
00:22:59.520 which we have a park in this sort of the
00:23:02.000 same area.
00:23:02.640 >> Uh the map on page 4 does display a
00:23:05.520 number of existing easements over this
00:23:07.919 property. There are quite a number of
00:23:09.440 different easements. They serve
00:23:10.559 different functions. Some are for um
00:23:14.080 like vehicle or pedestrian access and
00:23:16.000 some are for subsurface utility access.
00:23:19.760 So, um I believe the easement that
00:23:22.240 you’re speaking about is is the road
00:23:23.760 access. It does enable pedestrian access
00:23:26.720 to our park entrance.
00:23:30.400 >> Okay. Uh it Yeah. Okay. So, when it says
00:23:33.280 SRW, that doesn’t always mean human
00:23:36.559 people can access it. It might mean like
00:23:38.320 a sewer line is underneath it.
00:23:39.760 >> It could mean a variety of things
00:23:41.120 depending on the terms of the agreement.
00:23:42.640 Yes.
00:23:43.760 >> Okay. Well, I appreciate that. But
00:23:45.600 you’re saying that it will be providing
00:23:47.200 access to the park.
00:23:48.240 >> Yes.
00:23:48.880 >> Okay. Great. Thank you.
00:23:50.559 >> All right. Call a question on receipt.
00:23:52.000 All those in favor?
00:23:54.640 And this none opposed? That is carried.
00:23:56.320 The motion, director.
00:23:58.559 Thank you, chair. I will move that the
00:24:00.240 committee recommend that the chair and
00:24:02.159 corporate officer be authorized to
00:24:03.840 execute an access easement agreement to
00:24:07.280 extend easement plan VIP
00:24:10.720 64199
00:24:12.880 to proposed stratal lot 5 in subdivision
00:24:16.320 application 02383
00:24:19.200 C22 subject to subdivision approval.
00:24:24.159 >> Second.
00:24:24.960 >> Second by director Vanash.
00:24:27.840 All those in favor?
00:24:29.919 That is carried. Unanimous.
00:24:33.600 Number five, electoral area C official
00:24:35.360 community plan for receipt.
00:24:37.279 >> Move receipt.
00:24:39.039 >> Second.
00:24:40.799 >> And believe Annie will give us an
00:24:42.000 update.
00:24:42.720 >> Director Vanesh second as well.
00:24:48.400 >> Thank you to the committee through the
00:24:49.760 chair. This report is to provide an
00:24:51.600 update on the area C OCP review project
00:24:53.679 as we’re continuing work on phase two
00:24:55.679 being the community engagement phase.
00:24:57.919 This month we’re continuing work on a
00:24:59.440 mailout engagement workbook for outer
00:25:01.440 island and remote residents as well as
00:25:03.520 getting set for the first upcoming
00:25:05.919 community discussion um which will be
00:25:08.080 focused on settlement and housing on
00:25:09.600 Quadra Island specifically. Um, we also
00:25:12.159 recently completed another project
00:25:13.600 webpage update and we’ll continue to
00:25:15.919 update the website as sessions are
00:25:17.679 completed as we continue moving through
00:25:19.279 phase two. Thank you,
00:25:26.799 >> Dr.
00:25:28.240 >> Thank you, chair. Thank you for the
00:25:29.600 report. It was uh great to see some new
00:25:33.440 information on the website and I’m
00:25:35.279 really looking forward to the upcoming
00:25:36.880 community meetings. I have a couple of
00:25:38.799 comments and questions. I’ve been
00:25:40.400 receiving community comments from some
00:25:43.200 folks about the timing on the upcoming
00:25:45.200 community meetings at uh they’re all
00:25:48.000 starting at 5:00 p.m. I think this I
00:25:50.960 have heard from some people will mean
00:25:53.120 that people who are working off island
00:25:54.799 will likely not be back in time to
00:25:56.640 attend because they would often a
00:25:58.640 workday doesn’t end enable them to get
00:26:01.039 on the 4:30 ferry. Um, and I’m also
00:26:05.200 hearing from people who think that
00:26:07.360 having a 3-hour meeting over the dinner
00:26:10.320 time block
00:26:12.480 uh is a little bit complicated for their
00:26:16.400 ability to have dinner and go to a
00:26:18.400 3-hour meeting. So, I’m just curious if
00:26:20.559 consideration was given to a 6 p.m.
00:26:22.559 start or if it could be considered for
00:26:24.799 the future set of meetings scheduled, if
00:26:26.640 there’s any thoughts on that.
00:26:29.120 >> Thank you to the chair um and to the
00:26:30.799 director specifically. Um following our
00:26:33.840 meetings that were held uh late uh last
00:26:37.760 fall winter, um there was uh direction
00:26:42.080 or commentary around the 6:00 p.m. start
00:26:45.440 time, which we had um for the evening
00:26:48.159 meeting saying that people that were
00:26:49.840 arriving off the ferry would have to go
00:26:52.400 home and come back to the hall um to
00:26:55.440 participate in the meeting. So, it was
00:26:57.200 requested that the subsequent meetings
00:26:59.360 commence at 5:00 p.m., which we um did.
00:27:01.840 I believe at the last meeting um Annie
00:27:04.080 that we held on quadra um that was the
00:27:06.559 reason why 5:00 p.m. was selected for
00:27:08.640 this initial meeting um on housing and
00:27:11.120 settlement for quadra. We have indicated
00:27:14.080 um through correspondence with community
00:27:15.919 members and I believe also on our
00:27:17.279 website that our start times will be
00:27:19.120 variable um throughout these sessions in
00:27:21.919 order to try to accommodate as many
00:27:23.679 people as possible. We do realize that
00:27:25.120 some people will be coming um uh back on
00:27:27.840 the island at 5, some people would like
00:27:29.760 to go home and have dinner and come
00:27:31.039 back. So, we’re really hopeful that um
00:27:32.880 by staggering our start times throughout
00:27:34.480 these sessions that we’ll um do our best
00:27:36.320 to accommodate everybody. Um as we’ve
00:27:38.640 indicated to those that have reached out
00:27:40.640 specifically to staff um we have said
00:27:43.520 that um please do attend uh at whatever
00:27:46.159 time that you can make it for. Um the
00:27:48.960 sessions will be ongoing. Um you can
00:27:51.520 jump into a conversation at any time. Um
00:27:54.880 and uh comments that have been received
00:27:56.799 before or after you came will be visible
00:27:58.640 to you. So, we’re really hopeful that um
00:28:01.120 by doing this we can we can get as much
00:28:03.039 information um and input from from the
00:28:05.440 community as possible.
00:28:08.080 Okay. I appreciate that. Um the website
00:28:11.279 says that the discussions at the Quadra
00:28:13.360 Community Center are from 5:00 p.m. to
00:28:14.640 8:00 p.m. Might be helpful to add a note
00:28:16.960 there that um that’s what it says on the
00:28:20.159 website. I’m looking at the page right
00:28:21.600 now. So, be helpful if maybe it was
00:28:24.559 updated uh to indicate that people can
00:28:26.799 drop in
00:28:29.440 at whatever time they it works for them.
00:28:32.080 >> Sorry, can you repeat that?
00:28:34.480 It would be helpful if because it’s
00:28:38.159 states very clearly that it’s from 5:00
00:28:40.480 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. that it would be great
00:28:43.919 if people could know that they were able
00:28:46.720 to stop in at a later time and be
00:28:48.480 participant in the conversation
00:28:51.279 because it says facilitated structured
00:28:54.240 community discussion which I think a lot
00:28:56.559 of people would indicate if you weren’t
00:28:58.399 there for the beginning of the 3-hour
00:29:00.399 conversation then maybe it would not you
00:29:03.120 weren’t part of it.
00:29:05.360 So providing a little bit more updates
00:29:06.880 would be helpful on that.
00:29:09.520 uh through the chair. I think the times
00:29:11.919 provided on the website were the time
00:29:13.520 that we had the hall booked for. So,
00:29:15.679 we’ll be we’ll be updating that.
00:29:18.640 Oh, yeah. We were very careful through
00:29:20.159 the chair to to not indicate an end time
00:29:22.240 for these meetings. So, every um actual
00:29:25.600 poster that we had put um on the um
00:29:30.799 yeah, it says 5:00 p.m. We were very
00:29:32.559 careful not to put an end time because
00:29:34.159 >> on the website it says 5:00 p.m. to 8:00
00:29:35.840 p.m. on the website. So, I don’t know
00:29:37.840 where that information is coming from,
00:29:39.200 but um everything that we had posted on
00:29:41.360 our posters uh on social media and in
00:29:44.240 the um um bird’s eye indicated just a
00:29:48.240 start time because we really didn’t want
00:29:49.520 people to think that there was a a
00:29:50.960 specific end time. So, um we’ll have to
00:29:52.799 look to see where you where the 8:00
00:29:54.480 p.m. is because what I’m looking at
00:29:55.760 right now just has a start time of five.
00:29:57.760 So, if you share that with us, we will
00:29:59.120 for sure um give some um further
00:30:02.960 >> consideration to that. I will I’m very
00:30:05.679 happy to share that with you because it
00:30:06.960 actually kind of flows into my next
00:30:09.039 question. Um checking in about the web
00:30:11.679 page because the web page seems to be
00:30:14.640 the primary information portable portal
00:30:17.840 sorry for residents in regards to the
00:30:19.840 upcoming meetings and it shows info at
00:30:23.520 the top of the page about the meeting
00:30:24.880 scheduled for next week. But then under
00:30:27.679 project timeline when it says in
00:30:29.840 progress there is no mention of the
00:30:31.600 schedule of meetings which is planned
00:30:32.960 for the rest of the spring and early
00:30:34.240 summer and you have to click into future
00:30:35.760 phases
00:30:37.520 um to find the schedule of upcoming
00:30:39.120 meetings and the list of of what the
00:30:41.200 topics are going to be. And it’s there
00:30:43.039 that it says 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the
00:30:45.120 top of that uh block of information as
00:30:47.760 well as saying that the meetings at
00:30:50.000 Surge Narrows are from 11:00 am to 3M.
00:30:53.039 Um so I was actually just going to ask
00:30:55.279 if it would be possible to consider
00:30:57.600 moving that information from where it
00:31:00.240 says future phases into like the in
00:31:02.559 progress cuz it feels to me that those
00:31:05.039 things are in progress. And when we talk
00:31:07.440 about our OCP uh reports that we receive
00:31:10.320 here every month, when it speaks to
00:31:12.799 future phases, it’s more talking about
00:31:15.360 um drafting or revisions and approvals
00:31:17.279 as future phases. So maybe just uh
00:31:19.679 adjusting that would be helpful.
00:31:22.960 Okay. And then I also wanted to ask
00:31:25.440 about other forms of outreach and if
00:31:27.760 there’s other forms of communication
00:31:29.440 scheduled uh specifically around like
00:31:33.919 posters for the schedule of meetings
00:31:36.240 that could be displayed at like the
00:31:38.159 library or the Quadra community center
00:31:40.240 and the bulletin boards. Um I know
00:31:44.399 there’s a lot of people I think the
00:31:45.519 highest per capita use of the library in
00:31:47.360 SRD is uh at at Quadra Library. So, and
00:31:50.720 there’s a lot of folks that are analog
00:31:53.120 rather than digital. And it would be
00:31:55.039 really great to have some posters um put
00:31:57.279 up and potentially
00:31:59.760 further than that to share them at Serge
00:32:02.399 Narrows, at the post office and and and
00:32:04.640 such so that we can make sure that
00:32:06.240 people are um accessing that information
00:32:09.120 even if they’re not on the internet.
00:32:11.200 >> Uh thank you for the the comment and and
00:32:13.600 yes, we are already planning that. Um we
00:32:16.159 don’t do posting widely like on
00:32:18.080 telephone poles and things just because
00:32:19.679 that’s creates clutter and and waste.
00:32:22.720 But we but yes the uh the ferry
00:32:24.640 terminals the the fairies themselves the
00:32:26.960 library um there are some key locations
00:32:29.039 around Quadra Island that have already
00:32:30.559 been identified for postering. Yeah.
00:32:33.039 Okay. Great. The Quadra community center
00:32:35.039 has a great bulletin board and then
00:32:36.640 right in front of the grocery store
00:32:38.960 there’s a bulletin board which is
00:32:40.399 dedicated just to community center
00:32:42.320 events which would be and it’s sort of
00:32:44.159 more of a locked one. So it would stay
00:32:45.760 visible for longer. Okay, that’d be
00:32:47.840 great. And then I just have one more
00:32:49.360 question because the the poster for the
00:32:53.360 January 21st meeting says that it’s um a
00:32:56.799 facilitated and structured conversation.
00:32:59.279 I was curious if there will be outside
00:33:01.760 support assisting or if that’ll be
00:33:03.120 planning staff that will be
00:33:04.240 facilitating.
00:33:06.640 >> Uh thank you for the question. Yes, that
00:33:08.080 is planning staff.
00:33:09.519 >> Okay, great. Thank you.
00:33:12.320 Call
00:33:12.480 >> a question on receipt. All those in
00:33:13.840 favor?
00:33:15.840 Any opposed? Seeing none, that is
00:33:17.600 carried.
00:33:19.120 Number six, public land availability for
00:33:21.360 housing Harry Bay and Qui Cove for
00:33:23.679 receipt.
00:33:24.159 >> Move receipt.
00:33:25.440 >> Second. Second.
00:33:26.240 >> Thank you, director Rice.
00:33:27.919 >> I believe Meredith will speak to this.
00:33:30.960 Oh, yeah. Sorry.
00:33:34.320 >> Uh, thank you through the chair. Uh, so,
00:33:37.600 excuse me. Uh so this report is to
00:33:39.440 provide an overview of public land
00:33:41.120 available um near uh the designated
00:33:43.600 village centers on Quadra Island uh
00:33:45.760 which could potentially be considered
00:33:47.360 for future investigation to support uh
00:33:49.600 the development of housing. Excuse me.
00:33:53.600 So uh at the direction of the board,
00:33:55.279 we’ve located some public land near both
00:33:57.039 Quaioski Cove and Harriet Bay, which are
00:33:59.279 the two designated village centers
00:34:01.200 identified within the current OCP. uh we
00:34:04.080 were researching the potential to
00:34:06.000 support affordable and attainable
00:34:07.279 housing. Um there is an attached map
00:34:10.239 within the report and greater uh detail
00:34:13.679 on all of the identified public lands,
00:34:16.000 but of those that were identified,
00:34:17.760 there’s really only three sites that um
00:34:20.320 are currently undeveloped in a suitable
00:34:22.800 size and and some other uh conditions
00:34:25.760 that make them more suitable than
00:34:27.599 others. Uh though of course they all
00:34:31.280 have constraints.
00:34:33.359 Uh so without going into those specific
00:34:35.520 sites um they are all listed in the
00:34:37.359 report. Um and the full list is also
00:34:40.480 identified in the report. But should
00:34:42.079 further investigation be desired for any
00:34:44.239 of the lands uh identified here,
00:34:46.399 additional direction would be needed to
00:34:48.320 identify which sites we should pursue
00:34:50.079 further. Uh for provincial crownland
00:34:52.560 parcels, uh an appropriate next step
00:34:54.480 would be an inquiry uh to the relevant
00:34:56.480 land manager to determine the likelihood
00:34:58.320 of any form of disposition of that land,
00:35:00.800 including the issuance of a license of
00:35:02.400 occupation, a lease agreement, fee,
00:35:04.320 simple grant or market rate land sale.
00:35:07.680 The subsequent steps would be dependent
00:35:09.599 on the type of tenure being pursued. uh
00:35:12.160 would likely include uh the development
00:35:14.320 of a legal survey, development of land
00:35:16.320 use management plan, consultation with
00:35:18.079 First Nations, and a site site condition
00:35:20.320 assessments, which could include
00:35:21.760 environmental, archaeological,
00:35:23.440 geotechnical, uh portable water and
00:35:25.760 sewage disposal um assessments for lands
00:35:29.280 that are designated as SRD park lands.
00:35:31.839 Um it is worth noting that these lands
00:35:34.000 have been acquired and retained for park
00:35:36.160 purposes. And so while they may be
00:35:38.640 redesated as developable lands, it is
00:35:41.280 important to recognize that the benefit
00:35:42.720 of housing would come at a loss of
00:35:44.480 natural park space and the related
00:35:46.240 conservation habitat and recreational
00:35:48.400 benefits that those lands currently
00:35:50.000 provide. So should further exploration
00:35:53.040 be desired, um public consultation is
00:35:55.440 recommended followed by site condition
00:35:58.079 assessments environment including again
00:36:00.560 the environmental, archaeological,
00:36:02.240 geotechnical, portable water and sewage
00:36:04.560 disposal assessments. Thank you.
00:36:10.079 >> I wanted to say thank you for this great
00:36:12.800 uh report. It’s really comprehensive,
00:36:15.359 clear to understand maps and came back
00:36:17.680 really quickly. I really appreciate all
00:36:20.160 of that. And I think for me when I once
00:36:23.280 I looked at it, it really feels like
00:36:24.960 there are two provincial landlots of
00:36:27.359 particular interest identified in the
00:36:29.599 report. Um I think the report identifies
00:36:32.000 them as lot seven and eight in on Highen
00:36:34.000 Bay Road. Um, and those are the ones
00:36:36.720 that kind of sparked my curiosity in the
00:36:38.320 first place when I um when I was looking
00:36:40.960 at the provincial IMAP website and what
00:36:44.560 led to the request for this report. So,
00:36:46.240 I’m really happy that they made it onto
00:36:47.920 the report and um following receipt
00:36:51.599 chair, I have a motion that I would like
00:36:53.920 to make which I have provided to Edith
00:36:55.920 already. Thanks.
00:36:57.520 >> All right. Well, D, you have something
00:36:59.440 here.
00:37:00.000 >> Just question for staff. When I read the
00:37:02.400 report, it seems like there’s a fair
00:37:04.000 amount of of hurdles that need to be
00:37:06.800 jumped through. What is the likelihood
00:37:09.119 that anything can be achieved from this?
00:37:14.320 >> That’s a good question. I think that uh
00:37:17.359 there is certainly likelihood. We don’t
00:37:19.440 know what the current uh intent for
00:37:21.200 these parcels is from the provincial
00:37:22.960 perspective. So, without kind of opening
00:37:25.119 that line of inquiry, I can’t really say
00:37:28.079 with uh any certainty. Uh that said, we
00:37:31.359 do know that through our other park
00:37:34.000 processes to pursue 10 years, we know
00:37:35.920 that the province does consider that. So
00:37:38.880 there’s nothing today that would tell us
00:37:41.520 that they wouldn’t if if that makes
00:37:43.920 sense. Um it isn’t likely something that
00:37:46.800 would be concluded in a short period of
00:37:49.680 time. Uh tenure processes usually do
00:37:52.640 take a number of years.
00:37:55.680 >> Followup, please. Thank you for that.
00:37:58.079 And that was exactly what my line of
00:38:00.079 thought was thinking. And you know, here
00:38:02.000 we are. We’re in year four. And I’m
00:38:03.920 wondering
00:38:05.520 um you know, is this something that is
00:38:07.280 going to take a fair amount of effort?
00:38:09.760 What I would like to see staff working
00:38:11.520 on is our existing projects and get them
00:38:14.400 completed before the next election
00:38:16.000 cycle. So I’m just
00:38:19.200 I really don’t see a quick endgame to
00:38:21.119 this.
00:38:24.160 >> Okay. On receipt, all those in favor?
00:38:26.320 Oh, Director Vanesh, I see your hands up
00:38:28.000 there.
00:38:30.079 >> Thank you, Chair. I just want to give a
00:38:31.680 little bit of background.
00:38:32.640 >> Can you turn up your volume a little bit
00:38:34.079 more?
00:38:39.680 >> How’s that?
00:38:41.040 >> Tiny bit better.
00:38:43.599 >> Uh, I just want to give um a little bit
00:38:45.680 of perspective on on a similar situation
00:38:47.599 on Cortez where um there was a piece of
00:38:50.800 land owned by Ministry of
00:38:51.839 Transportation. the previous regional
00:38:53.440 director pursued it for 3 years and I’ve
00:38:56.480 been pursuing it since uh I I took this
00:38:59.040 role and it has only just finally uh
00:39:03.440 been announced that the the Ministry of
00:39:05.359 Transportation is willing to release it.
00:39:07.839 Um, and you know, I think these things
00:39:10.079 do take time and it it’s, you know, I
00:39:12.079 think it’s I’ve certainly been impatient
00:39:13.599 around the process, but just wanted to
00:39:15.359 let fellow directors know that that
00:39:17.359 these things do take time and and uh,
00:39:19.599 you know, taking the small steps to move
00:39:21.119 them forward is uh, ultimately worth it
00:39:23.599 in the end.
00:39:27.119 All those in favor? Any opposed? Seeing
00:39:30.400 none, that is carried. A motion
00:39:31.920 director.
00:39:34.240 I will move that staff investigate with
00:39:38.240 the Ministry of Forests and other
00:39:40.160 ministries as appropriate the potential
00:39:42.880 for disposition of lot 7 and 8 in
00:39:44.880 Harriet Bay noted on the report as zero
00:39:47.839 Hyestin Bay Road for development of
00:39:50.320 affordable and attainable housing on
00:39:52.000 Quadra Island.
00:39:54.960 >> I’ll second that.
00:39:56.240 >> Director to second it. Any discussion?
00:39:59.520 See none. All those in favor?
00:40:02.960 How are you voting? Dire’s
00:40:07.119 good.
00:40:07.359 >> Can you not see me?
00:40:08.800 >> I’m opposed.
00:40:09.520 >> You’re hidden.
00:40:10.320 >> Edith can. Yeah, he
00:40:11.599 >> support.
00:40:13.440 >> We just have the motion on the screen.
00:40:14.960 Director Vonnish. So,
00:40:16.560 >> we didn’t lose video with you.
00:40:22.640 >> So, you were How’ you vote? Director
00:40:24.400 Vanesh
00:40:25.359 >> in favor.
00:40:26.320 >> Okay. And Director Rice is opposed. And
00:40:29.040 that is carried. I’m in favor.
00:40:33.920 All right. Schedule of committee
00:40:35.440 meetings 2026 for a seat.
00:40:38.320 >> Move seat.
00:40:41.280 >> Do I have a second or just for a second
00:40:42.640 here?
00:40:42.880 >> Second.
00:40:43.359 >> Director second it. Thank you.
00:40:45.680 >> Nothing to add, Mr. Chair.
00:40:47.599 >> All right, Director Winnie.
00:40:50.240 >> Thank you, Chair. I have an amendment to
00:40:52.160 propose to the schedule.
00:40:55.359 >> All right. Well, when it comes time to
00:40:56.960 make the motion, I’ll let you make the
00:40:58.240 motion. We’ll see what you got there.
00:41:00.079 >> Okay.
00:41:00.880 >> Okay. So, anything else on receipt?
00:41:02.880 Seeing none, all those in favor?
00:41:06.319 You in favor?
00:41:07.440 >> Yes.
00:41:07.920 >> Okay, that’s unanimous and it’s carried.

00:41:13.599 will move uh that the proposed meeting
00:41:16.480 sorry the proposed 2026 meeting schedule

00:41:26.000 with the change of the March meeting
00:41:29.520 being held on Tuesday March 10th rather
00:41:31.440 than Wednesday March 11th.
00:41:36.960 >> I’ll second that.
00:41:38.800 >> All righty. Any discussion on that one?
00:41:41.280 I would just say that um the uh March
00:41:45.920 11th is the day that the uh electoral
00:41:48.560 area directors forum and local
00:41:49.839 government leadership academy begins. So
00:41:52.319 um it would be much more beneficial if
00:41:54.079 we could hold hold it on Tuesday, March
00:41:55.839 10th. I think we did the same thing last
00:41:57.599 year, changing it to Tuesday instead.
00:41:59.520 Thanks.
00:42:00.240 >> Call a question. All those in favor

00:42:31.599 carried. and your motions, Director
00:42:34.160 Vanesh.

00:42:41.599 move that the committee recommend that

00:43:23.200 incentive support.
00:43:25.440 >> Second.
00:43:26.079 >> Thank you, director. Any discussion on

00:43:44.240 Um and uh similar to the last couple of
00:43:47.119 years, uh I worked with the Cortez
00:43:50.240 Island Community Foundation. We put
00:43:52.400 together a community jury ensuring that
00:43:54.720 the jury all the jury members did not
00:43:56.960 have a you know weren’t board members or
00:43:58.640 staff of any of the applications that
00:44:00.720 came in. Um and this year we are
00:44:03.440 delighted that the Cortez Community
00:44:04.960 Foundation raised an additional $25,000
00:44:08.960 um to to support these applications. And
00:44:12.000 although you know we’re supporting
00:44:14.079 $25,000 through uh or you know if this

00:44:18.160 supporting $25,000 worth of grants these
00:44:20.240 organizations. But I’m delighted to let
00:44:21.680 folks know that almost the full
00:44:23.680 applications are actually going to be uh
00:44:25.359 funded through uh the additional support
00:44:27.280 from the community foundation. Thank
