Tim Chad objected to the Town setting up the meeting and said Sidney Pier and Port Sidney Development Corporation set up the meeting. Sidney Pier Holdings has a long-term lease on Town-owned land south of the current marine pub building. South of that land is a parcel, commonly known as the Anderson property, which is owned by Port Sidney Develop- ment Corporation. A development application to build a hotel on the Anderson property was rejected by council earlier this year. “Although the completion of the Third Building included in our development permit is not tied to the development of an adjacent property, the site for the building is beside a property owned by Port Sidney Development Corporation and has been the subject of a potential rezoning application which contemplates a hotel,” Bur- ton said. “We have been working with that company since the spring of 1989, trying to ensure the compa- tibility of our respective plans.” Early this year a meeting was held between Town council, Memorial Park Society representa- tives, the Town’s Advisory Plan- Music banners coming to town The Town of Sidney will get 50 free Music °91 banners to hang along downtown streets next sum- mer. “Our goal is for every commu- nioty in the province to be dressed in the Music °91 colors,” said Music °91 president Robin Lecky. There are two different sizes and two different designs of banners, but all are red, white and blue. They are beinbg provided as part of the StreetScape street dressing program by the British Columbia Year of Music Society. Council decided to inform the Peninsula Celebrations Society of the coming banners because the society 1s planning events to coin- cide with other Music 91 events. ning Commission.and Sidney, Pier Holdings to consider designing the hotel and the Third Building in such a way that a civic/conference centre might be included on the site once the future of Sanscha Hall was decided. “At that time there seemed to be a timing problem in terms of the Department of Highways, and since the last time we met on that idea, the board of the Memorial parks Society has changed and support for the idea appears to have abated,” Burton said. “Sub- sequent to that time the plans for the hotel were rejected.” Sidney Pier has done at least two plans for the Third Building and is considering a third idea to tie in with the hotel development. “We presently find ourselves with two buildings, completely designed with working drawings and contract documents for each,” Burton said. “It is just not practi- cal to proceed with any building on Our site until the hotel design is approved.” Planning relates to underground parking and its location in relation to the building site. Mayor Nonma Sealey said coun- cil’s option is to tell Sidney Pier to build the Third Building as it was approved. eghands.

SS eS | | | ae Despite leading the Capital Regional District in house prices, North Saanich has the highest projected municipal population growth for 1990. In a report published last month, the Capital Regional District said North Saanich will likely see its population swell by 7.5 per cent over last year’s figure. This year’s population is expected to reach 9,160, as com- pared to 1989's estimated 8,520 figure, the study showed. However, the median house price in the rural community aver- aged $247,000 between January and October, which is the highest figure of all the 17 CRD jurisdic- tions. This compares to the median price of $155,000 for the whole region for the same time period, the study said. Median prices for Central Saa- nich and Sidney were $172,00 and $145,000, respectively. Despite cheaper home prices in Sidney and Central Saanich, the population percentage increases remain much lower than for North Saanich. Central Saanich is expected to see a total of 13,600 people living there this year, as compared to an TheReview estimated 12,840 people in 1989. Hence, Central Saanich’s popu- lation increase should be 5.9 per cent, while Sidney expects to see a 2.2 per cent jump.
