Short and sweet this week:
We began the meeting discussing the written concerns about 2 separate development variance permits. The first was a reduction of frontage from 6m to 3m for a proposal to turn one lot into two in Brocklehurst. The second was a proposal for allowing a second kitchen for a family member in a house (with a history of having an illegal suite) in Aberdeen. In my view, we did a lot of due dilligence, and ultimately approved the proposals.
We then had a public inquiry from Dr Christina Mader on the ban on backyard cooking fires and the permitting process that could allow backyard cooking fires for certain special occasions. This ban still stands and the permitting process is being clarified by the council and community services committee.
A proposal to permit a secondary suite at a house in Aberdeen was sent to public hearing. Lake Country RV on 8th street received approval to build a storage area closer to its lot line. A proposal to add liquor licenses to the Mac Island Sports & Event Centre and to Norbrock Stadium was sent out for public comment. Council also approved the receipt of a cash payment into the parks fund from the developer of 1140 and 1150 Crestline St in Brocklehurst. These payments allow for the creation of larger neighborhood parks. The developer does not then have to create dedicated park space within the development.
Our local MP, Betty Hinton, came to the meeting today and presented under the delegations section. She spoke about the projects the federal government has helped fund in Kamloops and area, some of the outstanding concerns, and talked about the Conservative party's approach to climate change.
