RECOMMENDATION BY: Staff
1. THAT Resolution #169-13 be rescinded;
2. THAT Council give second reading to of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3769, 2013-, as amended, to include revision to the separation distance requirement and allowable number of containers as presented, and further:

13.3
To present the Five Year Financial Plan (2013 to 2017) Amendment Bylaw to Council for three
readings to address the emergency pipeline repairs at the Spray Irrigation Facility. As reported to Council in the April 8, 2013 Administration Update, over the course of the past several years a number of leaks in the header pipeline which provides irrigation water to the irrigation pivots have been discovered and repaired by the site operator. Consistently, the leaks have been within several inches of a weld joining steel pipe sections. The leaks occur when small pits form within the inside of pipe coating and these eventually oxidize the pipe steel to form small holes in the pipe itself. As the header pipe is under pressure when carrying irrigation water, these holes, although generally quite small, allow considerable leakage from the header pipe into
surrounding soils to the extent that the leaks become visible through the presence of wet surface ground spots and sometimes small standing puddles in otherwise dry areas of the spray lands. The situation has escalated to a serious failure in the header pipe within the Spray Irrigation lands.
The site operator has been monitoring the leak in a section of the header for some time. Several weeks ago the site operator observed a geyser of water erupting in an unnamed lake in the H field area of the property which has now been traced to a pipe rupture under the lake area. An emergency repair of the rupture was arranged including repair of a leak in the Pond 1 suction pipe between Pond 1 and the irrigation pumps in the pump station. The urgency of repair and short time frame to carry out repairs (prior to May irrigation start up) necessitated that these repairs be made on an emergency basis. The work described is unrelated
to the current WWIP program and is not included in the Five Year Financial Plan (2013 to 2017).
13.4
Zoning
To consider first reading for a proposed text amendment to the M-2 - Light Industrial Zone of the
Zoning Bylaw to enable a family fun-park use to be established on property located at 1000 Industrial
Road No. 2 only.
The city is still accepting correspondence on the sign bylaw? I thought the deadline for comments was Feb 1, 2013?
ReplyDeleteA letter was included in last night's council package that addressed the sign issue. Councillor Cross enquired as to whether this would become part of the public record and staff said yes because the new sign bylaw is still in draft form. It is our opinion that as the Chamber of Commerce has given input since the deadline and as opinion is still being received from the public and because the bylaw is still being drafted there is no reason why members of the public are not still free to send their input. At some point no doubt, enough will be enough and the bylaw will begin its final readings.
