“Hold the presses – drat! Too late!” The latest issue of our community newsletter contains my article on a consultant review and update of the Zoning and Building bylaws. However, Council decided at our June 21st meeting not to proceed with it in the way outlined in my article. For one thing, the Board of Variance members have offered to help us better target some of the issues for the review, working with the Building Inspector. More background work on this, in a measured way, will be useful. In addition, residents are feeding back to Council that there is almost too much going on to keep up with. The process for developing legislation and policy regarding secondary suites is still underway. Planning is continuing for the new Community Centre and for new water mains and possible hydro line burial in lower Lions Bay. In addition, the Age-Friendly transitional housing study report is in and contains recommendations for follow-up which Council need to reflect on and discuss. This seems like more than enough large-scale activity to seek feedback from residents on, for the rest of this year.
