A ROBOT MASTERPIECE is finalized by creator Lauren Powell, 10, of Norith Saanich, who fashioned the creature from industrial discards at the Imagination Market workshop held Sunday in the Panorama Leisure Centre. The workshop was a special event to mark recycling week. GOLF COURSE VALORIE LENNOX photo Continued from Page Al development permit, Berglund be asked to follow guidelines set Out in a municipally- commissioned environmental impact study on the area. They included the provision of a walkway running from the north- east portion of Stelly’s Crossroad to Wallace Drive. Also included is the view that the environmental impact of con- struction of the golf course be mitigated to minimize the pollu- tion of Hagen Creek and to protect the water rights of downstream users. A clause should! be added to the bylaw which allows the municipal- ity first right of refusal should Berglund decide to sell the golf course, committee also decided. However, Ald. Wayne Hunter said he is dismayed that guidelines set out in the Official Community Plan would be violated if the proposal goes through. Ald. Jack Mar added his voice to Hunter’s argument that the OCP recommended that Grade 2 farm- land, such as Maber Flats, should not be used for golf course devel- opments. Mar said that with drainage the Maber Flats Agricultural Land Reserve property would be top quality Class 1 farmland. “That’s the best soil you can see in all of Canada,” he said. “Ts it for council to tell farmers that the land is not viable?” Hunter also said issues brought up in a municipally-commissioned environmental impact study have not been properly addressed. And Ald. Gary Valiquette, Hun- ter and Mar all expressed concems that council is moving too quickly towards approval of the golf course proposal. Mar and Hunter both said another study should be commis- sioned to find solutions to prob- lems identified in the environmen- tal impact study. Valiquette said the OCP pro- vides for a set maximum of 310 acres of golf course land. And about 205 acres of that allocation will be used up if golf course proposals submitted by Berglund and Maurice Michell get approval, he said. In such an instance, it’s likely that insufficient acreage will be left over for another championship golf course, he said. Valiquette said another champi- onship golf course proposal for the Island View area, which has yet to come before council, should be given equal consideration before Berglund’s application is proc- essed. - Hugh Morrison waited 30 months before his small par-three golf course received approval and Berglund should be prepared to wait a little longer, too, he said. The new proposal, which was submitted several days ago, seemed to offer the municipality a better deal than Berglund’s pro- posal, he said. He said the $42,000 that Berg- lund agreed to pay the municipal- ity for 4.3-acres of road allowance is far too low. “JT question whether that is the price the municipality should get, “he said. Hunter agreed saying, “I think it would be a big mistake to go against our OCP and put the municipality out financially.” And the proposed rezoning of a two-acre parcel of land Berglund has donated to the municipality to estate residential would allow for the building of houses there, which would set a dangerous precedent, Hunter said. Ald. Ed Hernblad and Mayor Ron Cullis both said the Berglund , golf course proposal was a “good deal” for taxpayers and that the $42,000 price tag for road allow- ances is reasonable. Ald. Wayne Watkins said the majority of Central Saanich resi- dents supported Berglund’s pro- posal and that council should pro- ceed with the approval process. ‘T think we’ve been around the horn on this one ...

Cullis said the issue had been dealt with exhaustively and a deci- sion on the proposal should be made soon. “IT think we’ve probably taken one of the more responsible routes of any of the municipalities in the province,” Cullis said. “TJ don’t think we have moved with great haste. I think we’ve moved with caution.” The Agricultural Land Commis- sion has given its approval of the use of Maber Flats for a golf course and council should take direction from this decision, he said.
