Excerpts from Agenda -- Council meeting, June 9,2008.

Staff is recommending third reading of the following OCP amendment with the requirement to construct a sewer trunk line down Aberdeen Road at the developer's expense. However, residents along the trunk line will have to contribute to the sewer maintenance fee presently pegged at $320 annually.

The requirement will also put a tremendous pressure on future development of small holdings and agricultural land. It is against the character of Coldstream and is against the wishes of the majority of people who wish to maintain the rural character of the community.

The proposed bylaw is as follows:

c. District of Coldstream Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1445, 2005, Amendment Bylaw No. 1529, 2008

- Report from the Director of Engineering Services, dated May 7, 2008

- Proposed Bylaw No. 1529, 2008

- A bylaw to change the designation of Lot 2, Sec. 25, TWP 9, ODYD, Plan KAP84722 from Residential to Multifamily Residential and to amend Schedule G by including Lot 2, Sec. 25, TWP 9, ODYD, Plan KAP84722 within the Multiple Family Development Permit Area

AND FURTHER THAT “District of Coldstream Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1445, 2005, Amendment Bylaw No. 1529, 2008”, be read a first time by title only.

I have been a resident of Coldstream since 1976. I have had 15 years of experience on Council, 3 years as Mayor. As a current Councillor I am working to achieve fair water and sewer rates and to ensure that taxpayers get fair treatment. The current direction regarding water supply is unsustainable and I am doing all I can to get the most cost effective water supply possible.
