Heritage doubling limited

Only four potentially heritage
properties could take advantage of
a provision in Central Saanich’s
heritage bylaw which allows a
second dwelling on certain SSE
tage properties.

At Coun. lan @amieroncs
request, staff identified four poten-
tial heritage homes which could
meet the criteria for a second
dwelling on the site. The four are
Bannockbum at 1189 Mt. Newton
Crossroad, Blink Bonnie Farm at
8370 East Saanich Road, the Hor-
atio White house at 1820 Stellys
Crossroad and the Sluggett resi-
dence at 6782 West Saanich Road.

Some council members had
expressed fears the heritage bylaw
provision would lead to a wides-
pread “house grab” by owners of
heritage properties.

Higher costs than expected
forced a cutback in proposed work
for the south Keating ridge sewage
collection system.

Sunnyslope Drive and Tanner
Road from Springlea to Sunnys-
lope were eliminated from phase
one of the sewer expansion, engi-
neer Al Mackey explained in a
report to the Nov. 9 Central Saa-
nich committee meeting.

Two trees in for each tree

A policy requiring, in principle,
the planting of two trees for each
tree removed from municipally-
owned property was passed by
Central Saanich council members
at a committee meeting Monday.

Although Coun. Arlene Box
questioned passing such a “blan-
ket statement,’ the motion’s
mover, Coun. Bruce Tobin, said
the policy would demonstrate the
value placed by the municipality

on fees.

Box said trees require care in
addition to just being planted.

Tobin amended his motion to
require the replacement trees “in
principle or where practical.”

The debate on tree-planting fol-
lowed a short discussion on the
damage to trees being done by a
construction project in Centennial
Park.

Coun. Clarence Bolt said the
roots of some of the trees have
been exposed by construction of

fieldhouse in the park.

Recreation coordinator Bonnie
McKenzie said staff tried to save
as many trees as possible when
planning the construction project.

She suggested some trees which
should have been removed were
retained. These trees may have
been too close to the construction
project, she said.

Council members asked staff for
a Teport on the situation.
