Leanne Hamilton made this comment after successfully petitioning Sicamous council to revisit the zoning amendment of Bylaw 1044 required to start work on the Shuswap North Okanagan Rail Trail. The effort led to Mayor Colleen Anderson calling for a re-vote at the Feb. 28 council meeting.
In her presentation, which received a standing ovation from the approximately 35 people in the gallery, Hamilton stressed the district has to 91裸聊视频渢ake advantage of this now.91裸聊视频� Since the Feb. 14 4-3 split vote on the rezoning, Hamilton has collected over 700 signatures in person and more than 6oo online, requesting that council reconsider its decision.
91裸聊视频淐ouncillors have stated that they want the rail trail to happen, but are wanting to pause it. Has council considered what this pause could mean financially?91裸聊视频� Hamilton asked. 91裸聊视频淲ill it cost Sicamous more money91裸聊视频� and at whose cost, the taxpayers? We can91裸聊视频檛 keep stalling this project for a small part of the community.
91裸聊视频淥ur community does not want another unfinished project in our town,91裸聊视频� she added.
While the trail is jointly owned by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD), Regional District of the North Okanagan and Splatsin, the starting point is in Sicamous. Council needs to approve rezoning of the district91裸聊视频檚 portion of trail, from R-1 Residential to P-3 Park, so that work can begin on it. Elsewhere in the CSRD, that work is expected to begin this spring.
Under the Community Charter, the mayor can direct council to vote on it again on the matter, which Anderson did.
91裸聊视频淚n light of what I91裸聊视频檓 hearing from the community, and information that we heard from the CSRD earlier today at the COW [Committee of the Whole] I91裸聊视频檒l be exercising my authority under section 131 of the Community Charter for council to reconsider third reading of Bylaw 1044 as soon as convenient,91裸聊视频� Anderson said to a round of applause.
She noted that at the Feb. 14 public hearing, there was a lack of representation from the Economic Development Committee, Sicamous & District Chamber of Commerce and the business community, adding 91裸聊视频渢here was a miss there.91裸聊视频�
Chief administrative officer Kelly Bennett said that as this requires another public hearing, it won91裸聊视频檛 come back to the next council meeting, but council can discuss where and when that will happen.
Despite Hamilton91裸聊视频檚 success in getting the zoning reconsideration, she admitted that she 91裸聊视频渄idn91裸聊视频檛 see that coming.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淚 am absolutely amazed by all of the support, not only from the residents of Sicamous, but the many others that signed the petition. Thank you Mayor Colleen Anderson for listening to the people!91裸聊视频� she said, adding that the petition will remain open until the public hearing, and encouraged people to attend that. 91裸聊视频淭ogether we can make this happen.91裸聊视频�
