Editor:
On June 15th Saltair residents will be asked if they want to change their Official Community Plan to allow for greater housing density in a large lot south of Byron’s store. A development sign is posted on the property but obscured by dense bushes.
Residents should consider whether they support more areas in Saltair being rezoned for denser housing and whether doing so in this case will create a precedent for neighbouring properties, as well as possibly the back of the old school property, or further away.
In theory, the CVRD doesn’t support more small independent sewer systems, so at what point will the CVRD consider building community sewer to support these developments?
Sewer is lovely, but it will come with greatly increased property taxes and an erosion of lot size restrictions. Do residents want to maintain the rural nature of Saltair or are we content to have it eroded away?
It doesn’t matter what your opinion is, come to the CVRD’s June 15th meeting at 7 p.m. at the old Mt. Brenton School. Whatever is decided will be a game changer for Saltair!
