City Council 12^th March	Edwards Ave development
	Changes to OCP

Very Good presentation by proponents

L&M Engineering brought their planner and manger

CIF Construction and Northern Capital Wood Products had spokesmen

All these were from Prince George –

Came well prepared to speak for this 16 lot development in Edwards Avenue/ 11^th Avenue East area

	Complicated transactions
	Not only is there zoning residential to be dealt with but re-zoning from previous designation of ‘open spaces’ and ‘Utilities’ – but alos ‘set backs’ from salmon bearing stream – and even concept of quality of run-off produced and its effect on Hays Creek --- and all this ‘paper work’ must be dealt with before even property sale consummated etc

16 properties in 300T$ price range

This is the proponents diagram—includes the 16 lots plus the present zoning.

Yellow is R2 residential; green is ‘open spaces’ and purple is ‘Utility’ –

City Image

Council and public brought forward several good questions --- the image left is from city

DFO wanted 50M setback from hays Creek – closest point is pink line which is about 47

There was also questions about retaining trees and view

(Dotted line appears to be where rock ‘uplands goes to bog low land--

	To be continued
	Heather, the L&M Engineering Planner said she was not expecting to take a ‘walk in the woods’ so had not worn anything but her high heels – seems some Council and proponents walked the site Monday afternoon --- and I will have to do the same before continue discussion --- but I am forewarned and will wear boots
