ote expansion on: hold |

; itimat-Stikine Tegional district: has delayed’ ‘ppsoval of
expansion’ plans at the Copper River. Motel in Thornhill until
‘three provincial ministeries have delivered thelr verdicts.
of ‘The expansion would involve construction of an addition
fs, to connect the two existing accomodation units. However, the
ote new -building- would. be -cnly: 10: 4mfrom the:bank of. the .
1 ; Skéena ‘River-and the Thornhill : zoning by-law prohibits con-
: struction within 60m of the river,
_., Thetwo existing units were built before the ‘by-law came in-
“40 effect and are therefore considered ‘to be legal non-
e conforming. .
7 - + The district, could override the by-law andj issue a develop:
| ment variance. permit allowing the.-expansion to go ahead.

However, director Fred Rojsum said-it would prefer to hear
" first “from” the Highways, Environment and Health —

ministeries. oe 7

Each had been asked for their. reaction. to ‘the expansion

- proposal: but-no replies had ‘been recelyed yet. The district
i: decided to table the matter until its Nov. 16 meeting.

| Timber review called for

“Having failed to persuade the outgoing Socred Forests
minister .to ovérturn the Sustut-Takla timber cutting rights
award, the district is going to’ try its Juck with his successor,

Once the new Forests minister is named, the district will ask
him/her to review the 1988 decision which. gave two. Prince
George companies the right: to cut 800, 000 cum. of timber i in
the area north of Hazelton.- |

At the time, and on several occasions since, the district has

‘objected to the decision: arguing at least ‘some of. the wood
should have gone to mills in the Smithers-Hazeltons area.
.. Pointing out the timber was located in the Prince George
timber supply area, both Dave Parker. — Forests minister at
the time of the award — and. his. successor: ‘Claude Richmond
remained unmoved. ., =. roan

“Quick off the mark.

va Although the new. provincial government has yet to be
sworn in, the district has been quick to try and gain the ear of
. ‘some of its members.
‘-In‘agreeing to a flurry of letters of congratulations and con-
dolénces, directors have also decided to invite successful NDP .
candidates Helmut. Giesbrecht (Skeena), Dan Miller (North .
‘Coast) and Jackie Pement (Buikley Valley-Nechako) to meet’
with the board — the’ regional district includes all or part of ‘
the three ridings. 7
| Kitimat director Ray Brady said such a meeting would give
‘difectors ‘a ‘chance to ‘brief the MLAs on “‘the regional
district's aspirations at the provincial level.
