Shown is one group involved ina Golf course applications can siari process The proponents of three golf courses on land in Central Saanich can move their applications to the first step of the municipal approv- ing process, council decided Mon- day. : “The process can begin tomor- row morning if you wish,” Mayor Ron Cullis said. Developer John Berglund, who wants to build an 18-hole execu- tive golf course on land known as the Maber Farm southeast of Wal- lace Drive and Stellys Crossroad asked if rezoning could begin following council’s announcement that development permits “lack the appropriate application to rec- reational use of the agricultural land reserve.” Planning and zoning committee chairman Ald. Arlene Box, in a memorandum, said that after a meeting with the official commun- ity plan planners, council and the municipality's solicitor Wednes- day: “It was the consensus that development permit was not the median of control for golf course development, but other means and agencies are available with appro- priate controls.” Motions compelling developers to replace low-income housing, establishing rent review, subsidiz- ing rent and a loan deferral and mortgage guarantee for low- income people were passed by North Saanich council despite opposition from Mayor Linda >, Michaluk. In moving the motions Ald. Rebecca Vermeer said young fami- lies and the elderly are being moved out of their homes. The motions were originally proposed by Squamish council. Michaluk said there are too many unanswered questions about the impact of the proposals. *x* * * A cat boarding facility at 1833 Glamorgan Road was approved by North Saanich council subject to Capital Regional District and SPCA approval. The 18-unit cattery will be located on a five-acre property and will be called Pussy Willow Cat- _ tery. “They re asking us for permis- sion to have a cathouse,” Ald. Art Council passed a motion asking “staff to advise applicants that development permits and the revi- sion of the official community plan are no longer impediment to the rezoning process.” COMMUNITY PLAN Meanwhile, the official com- munity plan process trudges on with public information meetings scheduled for the Central Saanich Cultural Centre on Clarke Drive in Brentwood Bay, Tuesday. The second draft of the com- munity plan will be available at the municipal hall today for pur- chase or at the library for perusal. The information meetings are scheduled from 2-5 p.m. and from 7:30-9:30 p.m. in Activity Room A. Parking bylaw may get second look A draft bylaw to restrict parking of commercial vehicles on resi- dential streets may be pulled off the shelf after residents of Skyline Crescent packed Central Saanich council chambers Monday. The concems center around the parking of a dump truck owned by Skyline Trucking’s Phyllis Cullis in the neighborhood. “We are not satisfied with what Cullis considers a remedy to the problem,” resident Michael Black said. Drew Harrison, speaking for the residents, said a petition against parking the dump truck in the neighborhood drew signatures from 76 per cent of all residents on Skyline Crescent, but some had difficulty signing because of the neighborly feeling in the area. “For many of the people who signed it was a gut wrenching Situation,’ Harrison said. “It’s obviously an awkward issue but the vast majority of neighbors feel something this size doesn’t belong on our street.” The residents looked at bylaws in Central Saanich and in other districts while searching for a solution. ; “This is not a personal issue,” Harrison said. “It’s against the parking of this particular truck and additional trucks which may park in residential neighborhoods.” Ald. Wayne Hunter said council had asked staff to get information about bylaws from other munici- palities. Ald. Ed Hernblad said he’s hopeful the matter can be solved without a bylaw that would affect the entire municipality. After hearing a presentation from Cullis, including a promise to keep the truck in the driveway and create a buffer, the community services and legislation commit- tee, Feb. 12, asked staff to get other bylaws and take no further action on bylaw 966 — a draft bylaw to prohibit the parking of commercial vehicles in excess of 3,300 kg in residential zones. The same committee is expected to reconsider the matter. TheReview Wednesday, March 21,1990 — B3 New plants passed for district's hall North Saanich’s municipal hall will be surrounded by new lands- caping under a $41,700, two-year program approved by council. The first phase of the program, outlined by design consultant Deborah LaFrank at a recent coun- cil meeting, includes the parking areas, roadways and paths, light- ing, irigation sleeves for a future underground sprinkler system and planting close to the hall. LaFrank also suggested placing a prominent sign next to Mills Road to identify the municipal hall. Improved lighting and increased parking, up to 74 stalls, are part of the plan. A new road to staff parking behind the hall will elimi- nate a dangerous comer at the west end of the hall. Ald. Art McKinnon liked the plan but objected to LaFrank’s suggested split-rail fence border- ing the municipal property at Mills Road. LaFrank thought the fence would indicate North Saanich’s rural character but McKinnon said the fence would have him looking for horses and cows outside the hall. > “Great design,’’ he said. “Lousy fence, great design.” CENTRAL SAANICH NOTICE - HYDRANT FLUSHING Please be advised the Director of Central Saanich intends to flush watermains and hydrants commencing MONDAY, MARGH 19, 1990 - FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS.
