He conceded he had not met requests for a detailed plan for ‘ future development, saying it would be difficult to do so. “I cannot say what I will be building there 20 years from now, that will depend on what the future demand is,’’ Orleans said, - He added he hopes informa- tion recently submitted would Terrace Standard, Wednesday, January 3, 1990 — rae A3 allow the rezoning to go ahead in time to begin a $1.5 million expansion next spring. Although a construction start-up date-would depend on the weather, Orleans wants the RV park — for which there was a heavy demand — operational by mid-summer. Crleans also dismissed rumours he was thinking of sell- ing the resort. Approval awaits further details TERRACE — The fish and wildlife branch won't support a rezoning by-law at Mount Layton Hotsprings on Hwy37 between Terrace and Kitimat because it doesn’t know what owner Hert Orleans has planned for the site, says its local habitat protection officer. -“*We haven't seen any detail- ed plans for any of his proposed developments,” Phil. Belliveau’ said’ in describing the land in- volved as a “‘very fisheries sen- sitive area”? - In particular, the branch is concerned about the possible ef- .fects.on-Mountain Creek which ifows. threugh-Orlegns’ proper-". pointing ‘out it was an impor- ‘tant rearing and overwintering stream for both coho salmon and cutthroat trout, Belliveau said, “We don’t want to see (that) reduced to what's hap- pened on Hotsprings Creek.

In March of this year, lands gave the go- ahead for 73.4ha only but said it might agree io an additional 21.5ha if Orleans couid prove the need for the extra land. To do so, he had to submit a revis- ed development plan for not on- ly the land under application, but also all his other holdings. **We're still awaiting that in- formation,’ said Yardley in ad- ding a deadline for receiving it would soon be set.
