Bill Archibald
Mr. Archibald outlined trails in the area of the proposed subdivision. He indicated that a trail
running through the proposed subdivision was very popular and used by local residents and
expressed concern that any future lots will close that trail. He felt it important that the trail
be kept open and in a natural state.
The Manager of Development and Environmental Services advised that the trail indicated by
Mr. Archibald is an informal trail and runs through an area which has not been brought
forward for subdivision. He also advised that any future subdivision application in the
indicated area will be brought before Council.
Peter Tam
Mr. Tam spoke to the Silver Valley Area Plan and felt that the proposed development did not
adhere to the Silver Valley Plan in terms of eco-clustering. He asked about the relationship
of the development of the park to the rezoning application. He requested that consideration
be given to a trail through the development to keep the existing trail system intact.
The Manager of Development and Environmental Services provided an explanation on the
timing of the development of the park.
Dave Smith
Mr. Smith reminded Council of the significance of the Silver Valley area. He hoped that trail
networks in the area will be accommodated, particularly those providing access to the
Golden Ears Park. Mr. Smith spoke to the storm water management systems, ground water
recharge systems and trail systems in the area and hoped that the concepts put forward in
the Silver Valley Area Plan will be adhered to. He felt it important the positive partnerships
be formed between involved parties to protect the wildlife in the area.
There being no further comment, the Mayor declared this item dealt with.
