MOTION CARRIED
a) DP 3888 - SW 17-23-16 W4M, Installation of a moved -in building
The Development Clerk provided background information on the permit.
C. Amulung asked whether the listed improvements were requested by
the Planning & Development department or the applicant. The
Development Clerk responded that the list of proposed improvements
was provided by the applicant. C. Amulung suggested that the
$2,500. 00 security deposit was not necessary in this instance and
therefore be removed from the listed conditions of approval. A. Philipsen
asked if the moved -in dwelling would be used as an office and whether it
would still have bedrooms. The Development Clerk responded that the
inside of the dwelling would stay as is; in addition it would be connected
to sewer and water. There was further discussion.
ARRIVED AT MEETING:
Mark Harbicht arrived at 10:05 a.m.
The County Planner informed MPC that since the application is for a
moved -in building under the Agricultural district, it is discretionary. For
this type of development permit, requesting a security deposit is
consistent with the requirements of the Land Use Bylaw. However, if
MPC chooses to do so, they may remove the security deposit from the
conditions of approval. T. Fyfe inquired if the security deposit would be
refunded. The Development Clerk replied that the deposit is refunded
once the applicant completes the improvements.
