Rio Olympics beckon to competitive marksman View Royal resident one of the best pistol shooters in the country

hen someone says the word “athlete,” View Royal resident Mark Hines may not be the image that comes to mind. He’s average height and of an average build. He doesn’t spend much time in the gym and he’s likely never going to be on a box of cereal or get a signing bonus for inking a lucrative contract. He can, however, raise and lower a pistol 60 times over the span of an hour or so, and Mike Davies hit a mark the size of dime more often than he Reporting misses it – and when he misses, it’s not by much. He’s one of the best air pistol shooters in the country and he’s headed to the Pan Am Games next month – being held June 10 to 26 in Southern Ontario – to try for a spot in the Olympics. “Well, if I make the finals, I’ll be happy with that,” he says honestly. It’s not good to set expectations too high, he adds, because on a given day, even the best shooters in the world can either be right on target or a millimetre off. Hines is one of those people. He’s a nine-time national champion at various distances and the reigning champ in both the 10- and 50-metre disciplines. He got his love of shooting from his father, who was a police officer, Hines says, and who dabbled in competitive shooting for a while – before it became more than that. “He started going to all kinds of more serious competitive events and he got me into it in the 80s,” Hines recalls. “And then he coached me at the Canada Games and I got a team bronze there,” which told him he was maybe onto something. Then life got busy and Hines’ shooting

View Royal resident and nine-time national air pistol champion Mark Hines is headed to the Pan-Am Games this summer in Ontario as a member of Team Canada. He hopes to secure an Olympic team berth from the competition. had to take a backseat to other priorities. He got back into it in 2008, however, and almost immediately became one of the best in the nation. “I’ve basically been top three every year since 2009,” he says, not in a conceited way, just as a statement of fact. “I (still) don’t have much time to train. Between work and family and whatnot, it’s basically a hobby I kind of shoehorn in when I can.” Hines does most of his training at

home, practicing without ammunition on an electronic trainer which simulates real target shooting and gives him remarkably accurate data. “Then when I actually manage to get to the range,” he says, “I’m using it to basically confirm that what I’ve been doing at home is working.” His 10m firearm is a single-shot air pistol, and is shot indoors under ideal conditions. There are no outside factors that come into play, such as wind, lighting

changes or other distractions – hence the expectation that you’ll be hitting that dime-sized bullseye more often than not. His 50m pistol is a .22 calibre, singleshot pistol fired on an outdoor range. With wind and changing weather conditions a factor, the bullseye is a bit bigger. It’s 50 millimetres across, or about the width of a Canadian $5 bill. PlEASE SEE: Little TV coverage, Page A22

Broom bashing makes impact on Bear Mtn. Residents pitch in to stem spread of invasive species, open up area for wildlife, native plants

Derek Robinson (foreground) and Erwin Allerdings, residents of the Skyline Park strata off Bear Mountain Parkway, tackle Scotch broom removal on a steep hillside near their homes.

Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

On a steep hillside on one edge of the Skyline Park strata, roughly halfway up Bear Mountain Parkway in Langford, thousands of brilliant yellow flowers form a beautiful carpet for arbutus trees looming above. That beauty, however, is in the eye of the not-so-educated beholder. The flowers are a sign that Scotch broom, the nemesis for native plant species on Vancouver Island, is well established here, as it is in countless wild places around the West Shore. Skyline Park resident Erwin Allerdings moved here in 2008. In 2009 he began assembling his neighbours for semi-regular broom pulls, in which the virile plants are cut down at ground level to prevent their further spread in the designated ecological reserve areas surrounding their homes. “Broom and blackberries are the most pervasive and aggressive of the invasive species,” said the retired agrologist and former professional forester, who’s had plenty of experience dealing with unwanted plant species.

Don Descoteau/News Gazette staff

“They can really choke out some of the (native) species.” Both broom and blackberries sprout abundant greenery and, as they grow, produce thick stalks. Both aspects can leave native flowering plant species – not to mention the odd Douglas fir seedlings found in the rare gaps – fighting a losing battle for light, air and space. Allerdings says the residents try to do a sweep of the wild spaces behind their homes, a practise that barely gets com-

pleted in one season before the invasive plant growth begins anew on the opposite side of the cul-de-sac. The result of the clearing is evident in the presence of animal species on the slopes, he adds. “Once we clear it, deer tend to be in those areas,” he says. “It’s a draw for the birds and particularly for the deer.” Of course, with more deer in the area it also can mean more cougar sightings, and the occasional bear. Early one recent Saturday, Allerdings and

next-door neighbour Derek Robinson were busy carving their way through a broom patch, awaiting more neighbours to join the effort. A row of long-armed lopping tools and a pair of Swede saws stood at the foot of the hillside, waiting to be picked up by volunteers. People come out when they can, usually at their leisure, Allerdings says. This particular slope is steep enough to prevent some of the older members of the community from tackling it, he notes. They’d ideally like to partner on invasive species projects with the Bear Mountain Community Association. Such a partnership is a natural, Allerdings says, “especially now with the trail systems getting in place.” From the City of Langford’s perspective, the community’s help is much appreciated when it comes to removing and controlling invasive species within its bounds. “We’re really thankful when communities or groups come forward and assist; we encourage that,” says Mike Leskiw, Langford’s director of parks and recreation. Allerdings says the city makes it a lot easier for volunteers, as they only ask that the piles of organic debris be gathered in an area where a city-dispatched crew can get to it and collect it for disposal. For more information on how to assist in removing invasive species, contact the City of Langford parks department at 250478-7882. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

A hot vehicle is no place for an unaccompanied pet RCMP reminds public to leave dogs at home rather than risk animals’ lives Mike Davies News Gazette staff

Meteorologists are expecting another scorcher of a summer, meaning another season of danger for our pets – especially those furry friends who travel around with their owners in vehicles. Despite the seemingly constant reminders not to leave pets in cars on hot days, many owners still haven’t received the message, based on the number of calls received each year by police. Between 2012 and 2014, West Shore RCMP responded to 90 cases of dogs left in hot vehicles.

“Each complaint we receive is investigated on a case-by-case basis,” said detachment spokesperson Const. Alex Berube. He couldn’t say generally what the repercussions are for owners. “We are lucky in that we have different resources in the (region) that can deal with this situation: B.C. SPCA, CRD Animal Control and police,” he says. The primary message they’re passing on is not to bring your pet with you when you leave the house, if you’re planning on leaving it in a vehicle for any length of time. An ambulance service in Australia recently conducted a study on a 29 C day. Inside a previously airconditioned car with the windows up, the temperature went from 20 C to 44 C in just 10 minutes. Ten minutes later it had reached 60.2 C (140 F). The Canadian Safety Council says children and pets’ core tem-

perature rises three to five times more quickly than adults because of their size. Hyperthermia (heat stroke) occurs when a body’s core temperature reaches 40.5 C. Since dogs cool themselves by panting, there’s no cooling taking place when the air around them is also hot, and they are therefore physically unable to regulate their body temperature. This can quickly lead to hyperthermia. In the time it takes to pick up a few things for dinner at the grocery store, get through the line at the check-out and get back to your car, a dog left in that car could have already died an agonizing death. If you insist on bringing your pet with you, CRD Animal Control senior bylaw officer Don Brown says to make sure you take some precautions. “Panting and drinking water helps cool them,” he says. “If you travel with your dog this summer,

It only takes 10 minutes for a dog in an overheated car to be in serious physical distress. remember to bring fresh water and a bowl.” The B.C. SPCA asks anyone who spots an animal in distress in a vehicle to take the following steps: Attempt to find the animal’s owner, possibly by asking nearby stores and shops to page the owner of the vehicle, if necessary.

Place towels or clothing over the windows to increase shade levels. If the windows are open sightly, try to get water to the animal or use a fan to circulate air within the vehicle. Call the Animal Cruelty Hotline at 1-855-622-7722 between 9 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends. Police or CRD Animal Control should be contacts outside these hours. “If the dog is up and moving around, we urge people to take proactive steps to try and determine the location of the owner, as this may be the fastest way of getting the dog some relief,” says Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer of B.C. SPCA, “However, tragedy can occur in less than 10 minutes, so if the animal is exhibiting signs of distress and an owner cannot be located, the authorities need to be called in.” mdavies@goldstreamgazette.com

Well-known local musician Daniel Lapp, the artistic director of the school of contemporary music at the conservatory and the new cultural director for Bear Mountain Music, says the VCM is expanding its offerings to include other genres of music outside its traditional base of classical. “It’s about community and people’s own individual dreams and having an opportunity and encouragement to explore those things,” he says. “It could happen at any time during your lifetime where you feel like you’re getting that much closer to actually taking that step. You’ve wanted to pick up a guitar (or) sing a song at a house party. Lots of times the only thing that sort of stops people is they just don’t know where to go or have the opportunity, so we’re providing the opportunity at an affordable price.” The workshop series, the remaining of which cost $20, includes a range of other styles, from this weekend’s (June 14) DJ session with D.J. Murge, to Campfire Songs with Jan Randall of CBC’s The Irrelevant Show and a fiddle workshop with North American champion Ivonne Hernandez.

ner room at Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort and Spa. On the floor, next to a set of song lyrics penned by one of the group, sits Neil Osbourne, lead singer for iconic Canadian rock band 54-40. Fresh off a Saturday evening concert outside the hotel the night before – and a vigorous afternoon bike ride up to the resort in the heat this day – he’s analyzing the makeup of the song with the help of the others. “What if you tried this second verse as the first verse?” Osborne asks, to which the songwriter, a 40-ish man in a red bandana, perks up and says “OK” to this potential “a-ha” moment. While his song may have been a little more polished than others brought to this session, the idea of getting people of disparate talents and skill levels is the whole idea of the June workshop series kicked off Sunday by the Victoria Conservatory of Music, in partnership with a new education and entertainment entity labelled Bear Mountain Music.

Dan Matthews, CEO of Bear Mountain owner Ecoasis, has been instrumental in providing a cultural injection to his company’s sprawling neighbourhoods. His kids are conservatory students and his objective is to see music and culture expanded here as a way to establish a more broadbased, vibrant community. Dale Gann, director of business development for Bear Mountain, said the partnership with Lapp involves a focus on both education and live performances. “Arts and culture have an incredible role in people’s lives,” Gann says. “Music connects people; music brings joy and vibrancy. Daniel, by coming on board with us, is helping accomplish one of Dan Matthews’ goals.” Lapp is scheduling live music performances on Friday nights around Bear Mountain Resort. Gann foresees a three- to sixstage community music festival as the next major project for Bear Mountain Music. For information on the workshop series or to sign up, email Lapp at daniel@daniellapp.com or call 250-386-5311. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Think twice before loading dog in car It’s that time of year again, when you make sure the air conditioning is working in your car and maybe even consider installing an automatic car starter – if you don’t already have one – to cool down the interior before you get in, because you just know, “it’s going to be an oven in there.” With the heat come the annual warnings about leaving pets in your car. Not heeding these warnings can lead to tragic consequences, yet we continue to see parked vehicles with furry friends cooped up inside – usually a dog. Sure, most people leave their windows down a crack to allow for air circulation, but studies have shown that doing so doesn’t help much to prevent dangerously high temperatures in an enclosed space. Dogs play an important role in people’s lives. “Man’s best friend” is a commonly-accepted moniker for a reason, after all. Many take their dog everywhere, as they would young children or other people who can’t be left unaccompanied at home. Some see their dog as a member of the family too important to leave alone at home. But for whatever reason, some people still feel it’s acceptable to put that “friend” in a dangerous situation that could leave them with heat stroke in a matter of minutes, or worse, kill them. If you can’t bear being without your dog while you run your errands, why would you treat it so badly when you bring the animal along, by leaving it in your vehicle? There are many stores around the West Shore who welcome dog owners and their pets – based on the signage in their windows, at least. Why not frequent those vendors rather than risk the life of your friend? Call around before you head out and see who offers the products or services you’re in the market for, asking everyone if you can bring Scrappy with you when you shop. Maybe if retailers receive more of these types of calls, more of them will start allowing pets, and we’ll begin to see fewer of our friends in enclosed, dangerous, oven-type spaces. If you’re unwilling to leash your dog and have it accompany you while you do your business, leave it at home with plenty of water available. What do you think?

More celebrations needed for Oceans Day June 8 was World Oceans Day. In Canada, it’s a time to celebrate the rich marine life in three great oceans off the longest coastline of any nation – trillions of plankton, billions of fish, millions of seabirds, thousands of whales and myriad other creatures great and small. Yet, we have little to celebrate when it comes to looking after this natural legacy. While the federal government David has committed to protect 10 per cent of our oceans by 2020, it has so far protected just one per cent. Canada passed the Oceans Act 18 years ago, with a promise to safeguard our oceans and coastal ecosystems. It took another eight years to prioritize five large ocean management areas: the Beaufort Sea, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the North Pacific Coast, the Eastern Scotian Shelf and Placentia Bay/ Grand Banks. The process has languished and we’re now 10 years behind schedule and contending with escalating demands for ocean uses, impacts from climate change and emerging issues such as ocean acidification and plastics pollution. Marine planning, conservation and protection have never been more important. Energy development, shipping, fishing, conservation and ecotourism are bumping up against each other with no clear direction. This lack of co-ordination is like allowing a city to grow without zoning or planning, with schools built next to highways and industrial areas, residential neighbourhoods developed with no

green spaces and first responders unable to get to those in need. In the absence of federal leadership on marine planning and conservation, other levels of government have stepped in to take the lead — just as they have with climate change commitments. On B.C.’s Pacific North Coast, marine planning has moved ahead without the federal government, Suzuki which dropped out of the planning process in 2011. Even without national representation, the results are encouraging. Eighteen coastal First Nations and the province of B.C. have come up with their own plans for coastal ecosystems. Communities in this region have been defined by their relationship to the marine environment. With competing claims for ocean use and proposals to dramatically increase shipping traffic for oil and gas exports to Asia, these marine plans chart a course through challenging waters. Good public consultation and planning can help avoid expensive and disruptive conflicts that arise with so many interests competing for marine resources. B.C.’s coastal communities are leading the way in our country’s ocean planning. I’m happy to honour my relationship with 12 of those communities by embarking on a tour in June to talk about the many issues coastal communities are facing, including climate change. We can see its effects along the coast: shellfish die-offs, low snow packs affecting

salmon runs, rising sea levels and altered growing seasons. These communities depend on healthy oceans for their cultural, social and economic needs and are searching for solutions. Ian Mauro, an award-winning community-based researcher and filmmaker who has also documented climate change in Atlantic Canada and from an Inuit perspective, is joining the tour with a new film that features climate change’s impact on West Coast communities. Oceans produce half the oxygen we breathe and absorb a third of carbon dioxide emissions. If that weren’t reason enough to protect them, there’s also a strong business case. According to a WWF report, oceans provide an annual economic value of at least $24 trillion. In Canada’s Great Bear Sea, ecosystem services are estimated to provide $101 billion in annual benefits to local communities. Tourists pay to experience a clean, healthy ocean with an abundance of life, and marine recreation is projected to be among the fastest-growing sectors in B.C.’s economy for the next 20 years. Marine wildlife and resources are rapidly declining around the world, and our oceans are changing faster than ever, endangering this economic engine and the security and livelihoods it supports. But our oceans are bigger and longerlasting than any economic system. Canadians love their oceans and want their abundantly rich ecosystems to get the care they deserve. This World Oceans Day, let’s honour our coastal waters and all the creatures that depend on them — including ourselves.

‘Local governments are taking the lead on marine planning and conservation.’

Tree bylaws desperately needed Last week our neighbours cut down a spectacular heritage arbutus on their

property to allow for an easily adaptable renovation. This tree, a rare

giant specimen predating our 1970s housing development by over a century, would have been protected in almost all other municipalities in the Capital Regional District. These trees not only provide important habitat for a wide variety of native species, they also provide us with joy

and beauty in our daily environment. It is past time that both Langford and Colwood enacted tree protection bylaws that are in line with our values as a community. A tree like that will not grow again in our lifetime. What a tragedy. Carolyn Howe Langford

Raccoons can become defensive if protecting offspring wherever they set up a den.

Relocating squirrels, raccoons not good idea

S U R F A C E FLOORING EVENT

Re: Another perspective on trapping (Letters, June 5) Before relocating to this province from Ontario, I was a “back yard” wildlife rehabilitator for almost 20 years. During that time I saw more than my fair share of squirrels and raccoons. Squirrels are usually annoying if people want to feed birds. Raccoons can be defensive to protect themselves or their offspring. I have yet to see a squirrel “exhibit intimidating behaviours.” I agree that their populations can grow depending on the food source, but relocating them is not the answer. Unless you relocate them several miles away, they will be back in your neighbourhood before you are. To relocate them to a “wild” area will frequently mean death, as these animals are not use to wild foods or foraging. My suggestion is to ask the expert advice of those people who work at Wild ARC. Remember, most of these animals were in residence before humans. Susan Morgoch Colwood

Goddess runners tackle three distances Nearly 1,700 participants complete one of three races Langford in June is becoming the place to be among women looking to physically challenge themselves and hang out with hundreds of friends – some of whom they didn’t know before tackling the Goddess Run. The fourth annual event, which once again offered some pampering at Bear Mountain in advance of Sunday’s opportunity to work hard, attracted 1,685 entries in half-marathon (21 kilometres), 10K and 5K distances. Visiting runners took two of the top three spots in this year’s races. The half marathon saw 165 runners cross the finish line, led by Salmon Arm’s Chelsea Kaasa, who timed in at one hour, 38 minutes and 35 seconds and also topped the age 30 to 39 category. She finished slightly better than two minutes ahead of Suzanne Erickson of Duncan, whose time of 1:40.46 topped the 50-59 age category. Rounding out the top five (time and age category listed) were Victoria-area runner Sharene Foord (1:42.49, 40-49), Jenna Kurylo of Victoria (1:43.16, 30-39) and Lori Timpson of

The Victoria Shamrocks hope “Dangerous” Dan

Dawson continues to live up to his nickname as the team defends its Western Lacrosse Association title. In his first game with the ‘Rocks since signing back in March, the big runner scored the winning goal in a see-saw game with 17 seconds to play, giving Victoria a 12-11 win

over the Maple Ridge Burrards. The 33-yearold Dawson, whose Rochester Knighthawks fell just short of playing for another Champions Cup in the National Lacrosse League last month, made an immediate impact in his second go-round

Notice: City of Colwood 2014 Annual Report Copies of the Colwood 2014 Annual Municipal Report will be available for public inspection on Monday, June 8, 2015.

Colwood City Council will consider the report at their regular meeting on Monday, June 22, 2015 at 7pm in Council Chambers at Colwood City Hall, 3300 Wishart Rd. Public attendance at Council meetings is encouraged. Comments about the Colwood 2014 Annual Report can be submitted in writing or stated at the June 22nd meeting.

A very sensible patient suggested that I remind patients of eye related things they should pack when traveling. Spare glasses • Sunglasses Spare contact lenses A copy of the optical prescription (if traveling outside Canada) It is not just Murphy’s Law that causes those most in need of an optical correction to experience the most difficulty getting a quick replacement lens in an emergency situation. Complex, strong or difficult prescriptions can take longer to make. If you are helpless without your glasses, be prepared for loss or breakage. Whether in the jungle, on safari or on a luxury cruise, the nearest optical lab can be a long way off. Sunglasses are a must if you are headed for a sunny spot. You can slather sunscreen on your skin but it really stings if you try it in your eyes! Sunglasses purchased in Canada will generally provide adequate protection from ultra violet light. If you wear prescription glasses, matching clip-ons, photochromic lenses (glass or plastic) or separate sunglasses are all good options. Polarized lenses are particularly good if you plan to be on or near the water. Contact lens wearers should be especially careful to anticipate problems. If you wear expensive custom made contact lenses, you may balk at the idea of buying a spare pair. Disposable contact lenses might provide tolerable vision in an emergency even if not a precise match for your correction. Discuss this idea with your Optometrist. Contact lens wearers should wear glasses for long airplane flights because of the dry air supply. In fact, everyone could benefit from lubricating drops in these dry conditions. Contact lens wearers should also be aware that some countries have high levels of air pollution and contaminated water supplies so be careful about hygiene. Fastidiously wash your hands before handling your contact lenses. Montezuma can take revenge on your eyes as well as your tummy. Bring your own solutions if you are not sure of their availability at your destination Ask your Optometrist for advice about “back-up” eyewear and don’t wait until the last minute.

with the Shamrocks, scoring three goals and setting up three to earn first-star honours. His impact began even before that, however, says head coach Bob Heyes. “Dan was at practice on the Wednesday before the game and guys knew that he was there. It brought a jump to everybody’s step,” he says. On Friday as the Burrards chipped away at what was, at one point, a 9-4 Victoria lead, the usually soft-spoken Dawson reminded his new teammates that it was just going to be “one of those games where it’s going to take a full, 60-minute effort,” Heyes said. While the six-footfive Dawson adds another weapon to an already potent Shamrocks arsenal, the coach added, “Dan just brings that presence … He brings experience and that depth we’re looking for.

He’s a superstar in this sport.” The home fans at The Q Centre don’t get a chance to see Dawson in action again at home until June 19, when the Shamrocks (3-2) host the Coquitlam Adanacs. But he and his teammates are in Langley tonight (June 10) for a key matchup against what may be a tired Thunder team. Langley will be coming off a Tuesday night game against Maple Ridge (played after the Gazette deadline). Clover patch … Rhys Duch, who also had six points in the Friday win, entered this week’s WLA play as leading scorer with 20 points overall. Teammates Cory Conway and Corey Small sat tied for second with 18 points each, while Small led the league with nine goals. editor@goldstream gazette.com

Little TV coverage of shooting events Continued from Page A1

Despite fielding an excellent squad in their home country, and competing for a large number of medals, Hines says, Canadian shooters are expecting to get much screen time at the televised international event. “They don’t show much shooting here,” he says, laughing. “Over in Europe, it’s huge and it’s gaining in popularity in Asia, but here they mainly focus on showing the track events. I guarantee you won’t be seeing me shoot live.” He did promise, however, that he’d let the Gazette know how he does upon his return. Who knows? Maybe he’ll have an “on day” where he “finds the zone,” and he’ll manage win the whole thing, earning himself a spot in the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves,” he says. “I’m just happy to have been selected to compete for Canada, and I’m doing what I can when I can in preparation, so hopefully I shoot well while I’m there.” mdavies@goldstreamgazette.com

The revving of engines fills the air. Rags polish, canisters spray, and gloved hands crank throttles on Honda motorcycles lined up one by one on a remarkably sunny day at the West Shore Motocross Park in Langford. Today is a good day for riding. “Motocross is (about) the freedom of being, of controlling something on two wheels. Your heart pumps and (so does) the adrenaline when you’re jumping and doing corners and racing,” says professional motocross rider Colton Facciotti. “It’s crazy lining up with 40 guys going for the hole-shot at the start – there are tons of elements that make it rewarding and interesting and well worth it.” Facciotti would know.

Canadian motocross champion Colton Facciotti at the West Shore Motocross Park behind Western Speedway. years old, the fully sponsored 27-year-old Aldergrove, B.C. resident finds himself reflecting on the intricacies of the high risk, high-reward professional side to a sport he is so passionate about. “Motocross is one of the greatest sports going,” he says. “It’s an individual sport, you get the physical challenge and as you grow, you reap the rewards … it builds a lot of character.” Facciotti, practising on the West Shore in preparation for a race in Nanaimo, says moto-

cross is as physically and mentally demanding as any sport on the planet. “I’ve had friends say ‘you just sit on a bike and turn the throttle.’ But when we’re riding our heart rates are maxed for the full 35 minutes,” he said. “If anyone thinks that (way), take the bike around for a lap or two and (your minds will be) totally changed.” An extended version of this story can be found at goldstreamgazette.com. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

TOWN OF VIEW ROYAL NOTICE OF WAIVER OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN pursuant to Sections 890 and 893 of the Local Government Act that the requirement for a Public Hearing has been waived for proposed Bylaw No. 925, 2015 because an Official Community Plan applies to the area and the proposed bylaw is consistent with the plan. Bylaw No. 925, 2015 proposes to amend Zoning Bylaw No. 900, 2014, as follows: The “RM-3: Mixed Residential” table in Section 7.4.4 of Schedule “A” of Zoning Bylaw 900,2014 would be amended by: • increasing the “Floor Space Ratio, Base Density” regulation from 1.0 to 1.5 • removing the “Floor Space Ratio Bonus Density provision of 75% green roof” regulation The subject property of this rezoning is the former Town of View Royal Fire Hall site at 280 Island Highway. It is the only RM-3 zoned property within the Town of View Royal. A map showing the site is on the reverse of this notice. The net effect of these changes is to enable a total maximum Floor Space Ratio (density) of 1.6 on the site (1.5 base density plus 0.1 bonus for the provision of 80% underground parking) which is consistent with the maximum density within the Town’s Official Community Plan. This would potentially enable a 4 storey residential building on the site. TAKE NOTICE that more detailed information concerning the subject bylaw and any other reports and documents that may be considered by Council can be obtained at the Town of View Royal Municipal Office, Development Services Department, 45 View Royal Avenue, Victoria, B.C. (Telephone: 250-4796800) between the hours of 8:30 am and 4:30 pm Monday to Friday, June 5, 2015 to June 16, 2015. Third reading of Bylaw No. 925, 2015 is tentatively scheduled for June 16, 2015. Once prepared, Council agendas may be viewed online at www.viewroyal.ca or on the public notice board at the Town of View Royal Municipal Office. Dated June 3, 2015
