OCP and Beyond

Thorkelson had best (almost only) inut from Council when again objected to OCP (Official Community Plan) which seems to be unfolding as she feared – Consultants doing all the work and a finished document given to public to accept or reject after legislated 1 public consultation session

Variance denied & accepted in part

Mayor Pond used a perk of his office to re-open an April 16th vote (4-3 against allowing application) and suggested 2 parts – a ‘set back – and an exceeding fo coverage --- thus allow change from 30% lot to 34% lot at this meeting – analysis later
