The Regional Board received a report on the financial implications for installing backup electrical generators on the Killiney Beach and Westshore Estates water systems. Community Works Gas Tax funds could be considered for this project. The report recommends that prior to allocating Community Works Gas Tax funds in 2023, a Board policy be developed for appropriately allocating gas tax funds for eligible projects in the regional district electoral areas.
Development Cost Charge waiver request
The Regional Board received letters from the District of Peachland and the non-profit Peachland Seniors Support Society. The two bodies request that the Regional Board consider waiving or reducing Development Cost Charges designated for the Westside Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant to assist in developing a proposed five story affordable seniors rental housing building. The housing project is a partnership between the Society and Province. The Westside Wastewater Service Standing Committee will consider the request and financial implications.
New committee and Board of Variance
The Regional Board adopted the Terms of Reference for the new Agricultural Advisory committee and a new Board of Variance bylaw, updating and replacing the previous bylaw from 1970. Adoption of the Terms of Reference for the new Advisory Planning committee has been deferred pending consultation with the electoral area Directors for Central Okanagan East and Central Okanagan West.
After receiving a requested topographical report, the Regional Board has rescinded its conditional support of two Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) referral applications from the owners of properties at 5630 and 5760 Anderson Road in the Ellison area. The report indicates the applicants would add more fill than previously suggested to maximize the agricultural potential of the properties. The Board believes this would have adverse impacts on the neighbouring community. The applications will not be forwarded to the ALC.
