Wednesday, April 10,1991 — A29

golf course inC. Saanich Ferry terminal parking restrictions

A golf course could be sited on
non-ALR land on the “high side
of Benvenuto (Avenue) on the
Fama Holdings property,” Central
Saanich Mayor Ted Jones told the
planning and zoning committee
Monday.

Jones was refuting a statement
by Ald. Arlene Box, who won-
dered if council’s intention is to
“put up a facade” through amend-
ments to the official community
plan in regard to golf courses.

Jones said: “This is putting the
onus on the developer to utilize
non-prime agricultural land. There
are lots of world-class golf courses
in Greater Victoria that are not
sited on any agricultural land.

“We don’t have to use flat
arable land for a golf course.”

Box said: “I really think this
council is trying to fool the public
by saying yes we do but no we
can’t. We're making some very
rigid restrictions. To me I don’t
know why we're going through the
exercise of making restrictions

(when) it’s very hard to find a site
that would meet this.”

Planning committee chairman
Ald. Clarence Bolt said that there
are six classes of soil — ranging
from Class 1 to Class 6.

“That means Classes 4, 5 and 6
are still available for golf courses,”
Bolt said. “The (1973 Canada
Land Inventory) map does indi-
cate where such lands exist.”

Municipal planner Kevin Key
told council members the draft
restrictions, that will not allow
golf course development on Class
1 or 2 soil, would not exclude golf
course development from Central
Saanich, although construction
could be difficult and some land
would likely have to be consolidat-
ed.

“Tt would be possible to build a
golf course with these restric-
tions,’ Key said.

Committee referred its commun-
ity plan amendments to the advi-
sory planning commission for
comment.

Ferry-bound travelers will find
fewer places to park on North
Saanich residential streets after
North Saanich council agreed to
increase parking restrictions.

Tryon Road from the Pat Bay
Highway to Randles Lane and
Curteis Road from Tryon Road to
Dunne Road will be closed to
parking on both sides of the roads,
council agreed.

Illegally parked vehicles will be
ticketed and/or towed by police.

tract.

An application to the Heritage
Trust for funds to study the feasib-
ility of restoring the old commun-

ity hall on West Saanich Road was
approved by North Saanich coun-
cil but only if the study also
included the feasibility of moving
the hall to another site for restora-
tion.

The property adjoins the North
Saanich volunteer fire hall and fire
chief Terry Towle fears restoration
and use of the old hall for com-
munity events would lead to park-
ing conflicts.

Terry Riding, one of the resi-
dents working towards restoration
of the hall, objected to any plans to
move the building, saying much
the heritage value of the hall lies in
the site.

Any attempt to take over provin-
cial parks will cost money for
maintenance, North Saanich coun-
cil learned April 2.

Responding to a suggestion by
Ald. Edo Nyland that North Saa-
nich investigate acquiring John
Dean Provincial Park, municipal
administrator Ron O’Genski

reported B.C. Parks are interested
in transferring control of some
provincial parks to local groups,
however there will be no provin-
cial funding to help maintain
transferred parks.

The Capital Regional District
may also be interested in acquiring
John Dean Park, O’Genski added.

Nyland said it would be better
for North Saanich to obtain the
park than for the regional district
to take control of the property,

Reconstruction of the Capital
City Yacht Club breakwater, dam-
aged in a 1989 winter storm, has
been approved by North Saanich
council.

Also approved was construction
of a small dock on the breakwater
for the use of the upland property
owners.

Ald. Bill Turmer said the break-
water had to be replaced. “I would
have to vote for this even if it were
only for safety’s sake.”
