mcal area planning workshops

| A specific date and the venue of

@| Compiled by planning consult-

ts UMA Engineering, the report
cludes the concems of about 35
rentwood Bay residents who
ttended a Nov. 21 workshop at the
Pentral Saanich Cultural Centre in
Brentwood Bay.
Among the engineering firm’s
motes on the workshop were the
following observations.
— There appeared to be some
agreement on controlled develop-

yment in Tod Inlet, rather than no

development. _

— Tod Inlet should be desig-
nated as a development permit
area to control development and to
prohibit high density housing.

— Developers of Tod Inlet
should contribute to low cost
housing and to parks, as a condi-
tion of development approval.

— Future townhouse develop-
ments like Port Royale Estates
mee not be permitted in Tod
Inlet or anywhere else in Bren-
twood Bay.

— The environmental quality of
the shoreline, the foreshore, the
uplands area and the marine/
aquatic environment should all be
protected.

— No “mega project’ marinas
should be located in Brentwood
Bay, while the entire waterfront
area should be made a develop-
ment permit area.

Public meeting on local area planning
rommenis set for sometime next month

— Some people at the workshop
feel that a marine park status for
Tod Inlet would only introduce
additional pollution to the Inlet.

— Representatives of Butchart
Gardens would prefer no develop-
ment but are willing to discuss
concepts that do not interfere with
their operation.

— The character of the water-
front of the Moodyville area
should be preserved by prohibiting
any commercial development in
this area.

— Public access to the water-
front should be guaranteed to the
public as much as possible, even
where development occurs. A pub-
lic trail system might be one
possible solution.

— No further filling-in of the
foreshore areas should be permit-
ted.

— There should be no multiple
residential uses of the uplands
portion of Brentwood Bay.

— No live-aboards should be
allowed in the bay due to existing
problems with sewage disposal.

— As for the rest of Brentwood
Bay, it was felt that development of
commercial uses should continue
to be concentrated in the core of
Brentwood Bay:

— Increasing the density within
the commercial core would be
preferable to expanding its bound-
aries.

— Development permits should
be used in the core area to control
multiple residential developments.

— Policies should be provided
for housing special needs groups
such as the elderly in the core
area.

— Strip development along
West Saanich Road was deemed
unacceptable, as was the develop-
ment of large-scale malls in the

atéa.

— The success of the Pioneer
theme in Saanichton was dis-
cussed and it was decided a theme
would be appropriate for the Bren-
twood Bay commercial core.

— A balance should be arrived
at between developing the core
area and maintaining the character
of the community.
