Local reps to check out
Orenda-type mill in U.S.

by Tod Strachan

Terrace city council isn’t wasting
any time in preparing for the Oren-
da Forest Products soon-to-be-
announced public hearing on their
pulp mill proposal at the Dubose
Industrial Site. The city has invited
a representative of the Major Pro-
ject Review Process to town and
explain exactly how the process
works... Before the process begins.

Council has also asked the prov-
ince to extend the city’s bound-
aries to include the Dubose site...
just in case the project is approved.
And they’ve come up with $16,000
out of their economic development
budget to fly seven or eight
selected city representatives to
Minnesota, where they will investi-

Public hearing
scheduled for
corrections centre

Anew regional corrections centre
for Terrace came a step closer to
reality Monday night when city
council gave first two readings to
a road closure bylaw, a zoning
amendment bylaw and a bylaw
implementing a new zone, (P4)
Institutional/Corrections. Plans for
the construction of a new correc-
tions centre on the north end of

- Braun St. south of the CNR tracks

will now go to public hearing in
council chambers on Aug. 26 at 7
p.m.

If the project proceeds, two prop-
etties on either side of Braun St. at
Highway 16 will be rezoned from
Light Industrial to Institu-
tional/Cortections. Also, the north
end of Braun St. between Keith
and Highway 16 will be closed,
making the two properties a single

located at Duluth and Grand
Rapids.

Economic development officer
Peter Monteith says the Terrace
entourage will depart Aug. 25 and
return Aug. 29. Representing the
cily will be Monteith, two city
aldermen and a few of the mem-
bers of the Tourism and Economic
Development Commission
(TEAC). Confirmed so far, says
Monteith is Dave McKeown, Wil-
fred McKenzie and TEAC labour
representative Gail Murray or her
alternate. Monteith says they also
hope to add the name of a local
doctor to the list.

parce] of land.

One of the propertics to be
rezoned is a 5.17 acre parcel previ-
ously owned by Paul and Antonia
Lyshaug and is located south of
the CNR tracks and east of Braun
St. The second is a 6.87 acre par-
cel once owned by B.C. Hydro and
Jocated south of the CNR tracks
and west of Braun St.

The new corrections centre will
consist of a 9,600 square foot,
single-story structure and parking
lot located on the cast half of the
property. The main building will
offer space for 30 residents as well
as living, dining, recreation and
administrative offices. On the west
side of the property will be a
workshop, wood-drying sheds and
a work area.

Committee to consider subdivision

TERRACE -— The city’s
Planning and Public Works Com-
mittee will be considering a 147-
lot subdivision proposal next week
that would provide a total of 118
affordable housing sites and 29
view lots above Lanfear Drive.
According to Stanicy Shapitka of
Stanley Shapika and Associates,
the project would be developed in
three phases over a five- to cight-
year period. The first phase, which

would begin later this year or carly
in 1992, would include 44 to 52
lots with 11 of them being view
lots.

Shapitka says the completed
development, bordered by Lanfeart
Drive, Donald Road, Bailey St.
and Jollife Ave, would include a
1.1 acre patk and underground
hydro, telephone and cablevision
lines. For the city’s part, the
Mountainvisia sewer line would

have to be extended and they
would have to upgrade the sewer
line from Bailey St. to McConnell,

And there could be an added
bonus if the project goes ahead
that would benefit all city resi-
dents: mayor Jack Talstra has
suggested that the committee
should examine the opportunity
this project may offer in widening
Lanfear Drive.
