File No. 10-002-PVP (Alien) Page 2 of 3 February 8, 2010 Section 802,7, Lot Frontage, is varied from 10% of the perimeter of the lot (i.e. 215 meters (705 feet) to 3.7m (12.1 ft): AND THAT as a condition of the Development Variance Permit and the proposed subdivision, that the owners grant a statutory right-of-way from Buchanan Road to the west property line (along the alignment of the former Grey Canal) which shall be a minimum of 7.6m (25 ft) for the length of the pan-handle and 10m (32.8 ft) adjacent to the south boundary of proposed Lot 2. As such, a suitably worded statutory right-of-way will need to be registered concurrently with the subdivision. Background The proposed variance for 6615 Buchanan Road is part of a two lot subdivision application (09-001-SUB). The proposed subdivision is comprised of two parcels: proposed Lot 1 is 25.9 ha (64 acres) and proposed Lot 2 is 16.0 ha (39.5 ac). The proposed variance is to split the existing 7.6m (25 ft) 'pan-panhandle' into two. Therefore, each lot would have 3.73.8m (12.4 ft) rather than the required 10% of the perimeter of the lot. The existing lot structure that was approved in 1978 does not meet the existing 10% requirement. The ALC approved the two lot subdivision in 1990. The owner has expressed the desire to pursue the two iot subdivision rather than an exclusion that has also been approved by the ALC. Planning Considerations The District of Coldstream Zoning Bylaw No. 1382, 2002 requires that lots proposed to be subdivided in the RU.2zone have a lot frontage of at least 10% of the perimeter of the lot. As a general comment, the 10% regulation is a common frontage requirement and is intended to ensure lots are a uniform and usable shape. Environmentally Sensitive Areas Based on the results of the Coldstream - Vernon Sensitive Ecosystem inventory (SEI, completed June 2008), the subject property has moderate to high conservation value. As part of the subdivision process, the applicant may be required to retain a Qualified Environmental Professional to assess the property for environmentally values prior to final subdivision approval. Pending the outcome of the review, a no build/no disturb restrictive covenant may need to be registered on title to protect ecologically sensitive areas and/or features on the site.
File No. 10-002-DVP (Allen) Page 3 of 3 February 8, 2010 Roads and Trails The Grey Canal trail, situated on the southern boundary of the subject property, is identified in the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, Ribbons of Green and in the Parks & Recreation Master Plan, as a proposed regional trail connecting Vernon to Lavington. The applicant has indicated that public access will be granted along the pan-handle and on the Grey Canal section of the property. As such, a suitably worded statutory right-of-way will need to be registered concurrently with the subdivision. The width of the statutory right of way along the length of the pan-handle shal! be a minimum of 7.6m (25 ft) and 10m (32.8 ft) adjacent to the south boundary of proposed Lot 2. Agency Referrals No objections to the proposal were received at the time this report was written. However, BC Hydro will require additional time to conduct a site visit and Telus has a buried service line along the panhandle which must be accommodated. The Director of Engineering has indicated that reciprocal easement for services will be required and that 1:100 year storm is to be handled on-site. Notice will be sent to adjacent landowners within 30-meters (100- feet) of the subject property. Neighboring property owners will have an opportunity to present concerns in person or in writing to Council.

'strict si DISTRICT OF COLDSTREAM MEMORANDUM TO Mayor and Council FILE NO. -09-001-SUB, 07-015-ALR, 01111.800 FROM Craig Broderick, MCIP DATE January 19, 2010 Director of Development SUBJECT Joel & Rita Allen-6615 Buchanan Road-Appeal of Subdivision and Servicing Standards 1. Purpose To review options regarding a response to Joel and Rita Allen regarding subdivision conditions. 2. Origin Joel & Rita Allen have requested that the conditions of the proposed two-lot subdivision be waived by a resolution of Council. 3. Background/Discussion The owners of 6615 Buchanan Road (i.e. Lot 3, Plan 29175) have secured a Preliminary Layout Review (PLR) for a two-lot subdivision. The subject property is mostly in the ALR. The ALC had approved the two-lot subdivision in 1990. The two lots are proposed to be 16 ha (39 ac) and 25.9 ha (64 ac). Based on zoning and subdivision standards, the PLR sets out typical conditions of subdivision. The owners are appealing many of those conditions as they have indicated that the conditions render the subdivision financially unviable. The existing lot structure in the surrounding area is very unusual in that three, very large parcels combine their 'panhandles' to form a shared, gravel driveway. The shared driveway is privately maintained by the owners. The shared driveway serves to provide access as well as legal frontage onto Buchanan Road. Each panhandle is about 7.5m wide (25 ft). This unusual lot structure was approved by subdivision in 1978 and created Lot 1 (65.78 ha/162.5 ac), Lot 2 (65,5 ha/161.8 ac) and Lot 3 - the subject property (42.7 ha/105.5 ac). It is very unlikely that such a lot configuration would be approved today based on existing zoning and subdivision regulations.
'15 Buchanan Road Page 2 of 5 January 13, 201Q The owners are particularly concerned with subdivision standards and related costs of: converting the shared driveway to a municipal road including a turnaround to bylaw standards; and the required water upgrades. The applicant's preferred scenario is to have the frontage of the two lots varied to fit within the width of the existing panhandle (i.e. each lot would have one-half the width of the existing panhandle which would be about 3.75m or 12.3 ft). Alternatively, the upper lot could be created with zero road frontage with access being achieved by easement over the existing panhandle configuration. One concern that staff has with this approach is related to emergency vehicle access and the condition of the panhandle or shared access. Currently the three owners have a reciprocal easement to use the access route. The three owners must share in the maintenance costs of the access route. The proposed addition of another lot will complicate the existing situation and each owner would need to consent to an additional easement. The revised easement would also need to provide for unrestricted access for emergency vehicles. It appears that each owner would accommodate the legal requirements. In terms of zoning, due to the large lot sizes, each lot is capable of having two houses on-site as well as accessory buildings (i.e. barns, shops, etc). The additional lot will serve to add to the usage of the panhandle. As the new lot would have frontage on Buchanan Road, such a variance would effectively eliminate the need to construct the required municipal road and turn around. Similarly, extensive linear water upgrades would not be required as the new lots would be fronting Buchanan Road. GVS-Water would need to determine if a fire hydrant would be required based on rural spacing standards. At this time, an application for a variance for frontage has not been made by the applicants. They wanted to review the option with Council prior to applying for a variance. If an application were to be made, the typical process of notifying the neighbours would be followed. The applicants have outlined verbally that if concessions related to servicing are granted, they will be able to carry out the two-lot subdivision which includes dedicating the Grey Canal as it runs along the south boundary of the property. As with other stretches of the Grey Canal, it would be used for a trail. The length of the Grey Canal within the property boundaries is approximately 850m (2,788 ft). In addition, the shared driveway is about 330m 1,083 ft). In order for the Grey Canal to be accessible to the public for trail purposed, the shared driveway would also need to be available for pedestrians and cyclists. Therefore, the combined length of the proposed trail would be approximately 1,180 m (3,871 ft).
115 Buchanan Road Page 3 of 5 January 13, 2010 The intent would be to eventually continue the Grey Canal westward to Warren Road and eastward to Noble Canyon. As per Ribbons of Green, the Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan and the Parks & Recreation Master Plan, the long term plan is to have the entire length of the Grey Cana! as a trail. For the District of Coldstream section, the trail would continue westward from Warren road to existing stretch of Grey Canal trail in Coldstream Valley Estates (i.e. below The Ranchlands subdivision). Another option available to the owners is to exclude most of their land from the ALR. This was approved by the ALC on December 6, 2007. Relevant correspondence from the ALC is attached. One of the conditions of approval is to register a covenant over a 30m strip along the southern boundary of the excluded area prohibiting structures or roads. With respect to a trail within that covenant area, District of Coldstream staff have obtained clarification from the ALC that the trail would not be permitted to be within the covenant area. ALC staff, as per the attached January 14, 2008 e-mail, indicated that the request to have a trail within the covenant area would need to be reconsidered by the ALC. Therefore, it would appear that if the applicant follows through with the exclusion, the possibility of having the Grey Cana! alignment for could be lost. If the subject property were to be developed in the future (i.e. large lot subdivision or some other use that would be subject to a rezoning), a trail connection could be required to parallel to the covenant area. Having the trail 'upslope' from the Grey Canal alignment is not as desirable.and would make the trail less user friendly due to topography and more expensive to construct. Alternatively, the ALC might be amenable to relocating the covenant area above a future trail. The position taken by the ALC has made this proposed subdivision very challenging for all parties involved. In another part of the municipality, the ALC has effectively caused the rejection of another application based on concerns related to access. In light of the feedback being received from the ALC, District of Coldstream staff wishes to meet with the ALC and staff to discuss these files and the topic of access in general. In summary, the applicant is asking Council to vary zoning and servicing standards in order to allow the subdivision to proceed and to secure a portion of the Grey Canal. 41
v 15 Buchanan Road Page 4 of 5 January 13, 2010 4. Conclusion Based on the existing subdivision configuration, existing zoning and subdivision bylaw, and previous ALC approvals, staff have concluded that there are three basic options as follows: Option 1 - Proceed with Panhandle Process This option would see the subject property being subdivided in two titles with legal access being Buchanan Road. Due to the severity of the variance for frontage, establishment of an unwanted precedent and concerns related to emergency vehicle access, staff can not recommend that Council pursue this option. Option 2 - Proceed with Exclusion The owners can proceed with the approved exclusion of the subject property. Any subsequent development of the site will be reviewed at that time which will include provisions for pedestrian and cycling above the covenant area required by the ALC. Option 3 - Table the Matter until Staff Can Meet With the ALC. The third option, which is recommended by staff, is to table further consideration of the subdivision requirements until Coldstream staff have met with the ALC and their staff to discuss this application, the Webster application and the issue of access in the ALR. In terms of timing, a meeting will be scheduled as soon as possible. As the exclusion approval expires on December 6, 2010, if so directed by Council staff will request that the ALC extend the exclusion approval in order to not jeopardize that approval. Of course, the applicant could chose to secure the ALR exclusion at anytime before the expiry. 5. Recommendation THAT the report from the Director of Development Services, dated January 13, 2010, regarding "Joel& Rita Allen-6615 Buchanan Road-Appeal of Subdivision and Servicing Standards", be received for information. AND THAT Council table further consideration of the subdivision requirements until Coldstream staff have met with the ALC and their staff to discuss this application, the Webster application and the issue of access in the ALR.

Origin Director of Development Services. Background/Conclusion In 2003 Mr. and Mrs. Alien applied to exclude the subject property from the ALR; however, in 2006, the application was changed from exclusion to a seven-lot subdivision due to neighbourhood and staff opposition. Council forwarded the subdivision application to the Commission, but it was refused. On May 15, 2007 Mr. and Mrs. Alien applied again to exclude 80 acres (32.37 hectares) of their property from the ALR with the intention to subdivide. Staff did not support the exclusion application. On July 9, 2007 Council endorsed the application and forwarded it to the Commission for their adjudication. On December 6, 2007, the Commission approved the exclusion of 70.18 acres (28.4 hectares). Four hectares (9.88 acres) of the subject property was deemed by the Commission to be suitable for agricultural and will remain in the ALR. Mr. and Mrs. Allen have made the Planning Department aware of their intention to apply for subdivision in the near future.

MINUTES OF THE PROVINCIAL AGRICULTURAL LAND COMMISSION A meeting was held by the Provincial Agricultural Land Commission on December 6, 2007 in Kelowna, BC. PRESENT: Sue irvine Sid Sidhu Roger Mayer Martin Collins Chair, pkanagan Panel Commissioner Commissioner Staff For Consideration Application: Applicant: Proposal: Legal: Location: Site Inspection #T-37592 Joel and Rita Allen To exclude 32.4 ha of the 42.5 ha subject property from the Agricultural Land Reserve. As approximately 36.4 ha are in the ALR, approximately 4 ha would remain in the ALR. PID: 004-378-920 Lot 3, Section 26, Township 6, Osoyoos Division Yale District, Plan 29175 6615 Buchanan Road, Vernon A site inspection was not conducted for this application. The Commission recalled that a site visit had been conducted for the "previous application on the property (#T-37112) on February 12, 2007. Those in attendance were: Sue Irvine Sharon McCoubrey Sid Sidhu Jennifer Carson Martin Collins Joe! Allen Chair, Okanagan Panel Commissioner Commissioner Staff Staff Applicant Commissioner Eligible to Vote Commissioner Mayer was not present at the site inspection, it was confirmed that a summary of the site inspection was provided thus establishing the Commissioner's eligibility to vote on the application.. Context The proposal was weighed against the purposes of the Commission as stipulated in section 6 of the Agricultural Land Commission Act (the "Act"). They are: 1. to preserve agricultural land 2. to encourage farming on agricultural (and in collaboration with other communities of interest, and 3. to encourage local governments, first nations, the government and its agents to enable and accommodate farm use of agricultural land and uses compatible with agriculture in their plans, bylaws and policies. 56
Page 2 of 3 Resolution # 679/2007 Application # T-37592 Discussion Assessment of Agricultural Capability During the previous application process, in assessing the agricultural capability of the area currently proposed for exclusion, the Commission noted that the land had challenges for agriculture due to steep topography and poor soils. Assessment of impact on Agriculture The Commission recalled that for the previous application on the property (#T~37112) for subdivision in the ALR, it had considered the value of retaining this land within the ALR when it was apparent that the parcel was not being used for any grazing purposes or in conjunction with any other grazing/ranch properties. At that time, concern was expressed about permitting non agricultural subdivision of the property, and yet retaining the lands within the ALR. it was believed that subdividing the land as proposed would effectively eliminate any of the limited agricultural capacity of the property as it was extremely unlikely, that any of the small lots would be used for agricultural purposes and that keeping the land within the ALR necessitated the retention of the property in the largest possible size to ensure that the broadest range of the potential (though limited) options remain for agriculture. As such, the subdivision application was refused. In considering the current application, the Commission considered the impact of exclusion on the property and surrounding ALR lands. As a portion of the property proposed for exclusion had limited capability for agriculture, the Commission did not believe that its exclusion would have a negative impact on agriculture. Instead of the 32.4 ha proposed by the applicant, this area measured 28.4 ha on the 1:10,000 scale air photo of the property. In order to reduce the impact of the exclusion on the properties to the south, the Commission would require the registration of a covenant over a 30-metre strip along the southern boundary of the excluded area prohibiting the construction/placement of any structures or roads. Assessment of Other Factors The Commission reviewed the package of information received November 14, 2007 against the proposed exclusion, which included a petition objecting to the exclusion of the property signed by 15 local residents, a news article on subdivision in the ALR, and comments on the proposal. The comments included concerns such as fire hazards, environmental issues, that the lower portion of the property has agricultural value, that the property had historically been seasonal range for cattle, and visual impact of the development of the excluded area. The Commission considered the comments regarding agriculture. As concerns had been raised that ail owners of adjacent properties in the ALR had not been notified, the Commission also considered the issue of proper notification. It confirmed that letters had been sent by registered mail and through Canada Post's package tracking system, determined that one letter had not been successfully delivered to the receiver. However, as the letter had been sent registered mail, the.commission determined that the notification procedure had been adequately followed.
Page 3 of 3 Resolution # 679/2007 Application # T-37592 Conclusions 1. That 28.4 ha of the 32.4 ha proposed for exclusion has limited agricultural capability, 2. That if a proper buffer is created along the southern boundary of the excluded area, the proposal will not have a negative impact agriculture. IT WAS MOVED BY: SECONDED BY: Commissioner Irvine Commissioner Sidhu THAT the application be refused as proposed on the grounds that 4 ha of the proposed 32.4 ha exclusion area is suitable for farm use. AND THAT the exclusion of a 28.4 ha area is approved subject to the following conditions: The preparation of a subdivision plan to delineate the area to be excluded and the access to that area as per the attached sketch. The construction of a fence and the planting of a vegetative buffer along the southern boundary of the excluded area for the purpose of limiting the impact of the exclusion on the properties in the AIR to the south. The registration of a covenant over a 30-metre strip along the southern boundary of the excluded area prohibiting construction/placement of any structures or roads for the purpose of iimiting the impact of the exclusion on the properties in the ALR to the south. The exclusion must be completed within three (3) years from the date of this decision.
