RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE AGENDA It was agreed to add the following item to the agenda: Delegation - SADI Healthy Living Pilot Project The Corporate Officer advised that Agenda Item 10.1 and 13.9, both regarding an application for OCP and Rezoning at 9505 Gilman Road has been withdrawn by the applicant. 3. PUBLIC HEARING BYLAW TO AMEND ZONING BYLAW TO EXEMPT A-2 ZONED SUBDIVISIONS FOR THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF ACQUIRING ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY FROM THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE PROVISIONS The Director of Development Services explained that the Zoning Bylaw has a minimum lot size requirement of 8.0ha (20ac) in the A2 Agriculture zone. There are lots zoned A2 where existing traveled road is not located within dedicated road right of way. Unless the property is rezoned, the Approving Officer is prohibited from approving the subdivision plan and acquiring road dedication unless the portions of land separated by the proposed road right of way remain on a single title or meet the minimum lot area requirements. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Bylaw is to add an exemption whereby a subdivision, supportable by Council and approved by the ALC where road dedication will be obtained for an existing traveled road can be approved without meeting the aforementioned 8.0 hectare lot area requirement.

SADI HEALTHY LIVING PILOT PROJECT Michele Stephan of the Summerland Asset Development Initiative (SADI) outlined their application for funding to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) for a Healthy Living Pilot Project.

Moved by Councillor Waterman, Seconded by Councillor Finnis, THAT Council approve the application by the Summerland Asset Development Initiative for the Healthy Living Pilot Project to be submitted for funding to the UBCM under the Community Health Promotion Fund. 6. BYLAW OCP AND REZONING, 9009 GILMAN ROAD (N. & K. NISKAKOSKI) TO PERMIT A THREE LOT SUBDIVISION The Director of Development Services reviewed the application for a three lot subdivision at 9009 Gilman Road. He noted that these lands are not in the ALR and currently house two dwellings. Because of the proximity to the ALR, the staff report recommends buffering adjacent to the reserve be a condition of the rezoning. An excess/extended service resolution for the road upgrading will allow a latecomer agreement so that the owners can recoup some of their costs. One member noted his non-support of the application as it abuts farmland to the west. Moved by Councillor Roberge, Seconded by Councillor Perrino, THAT Bylaw be read a first time.
