Video - BIM Council Meeting, Park Vote Matters, Belterra Rezoning App First Reading, Sept 12, 2011

September 12th had the Bowen Island Municipal Council dealing with two issues of significance the Community. First up was the timing of the referendum vote on whether or not to go forward with the National Park Proposal as well as the nature of the question to be asked. Second up was the presentation of the Rezoning Application for the Belterra Co-Housing Project and the first reading of the rezoning application.

A few citizens spoke at the beginning of the meeting who were largely speaking to the National Park portion of the meeting. The submissions were diverse. The result of the discussion on the National Park vote was to have the vote during the election and to keep the wording on the referendum vote simple and unequivocal.

The second half of the meeting, on the Belterra Initiative went through without resistance from Council members. Councillor Frinton excused himself from the proceedings to remove any perception of self-interested interference as his property abuts the Belterra one.
