Review contributor

‘Hamish and Betty ‘Chawiord will have.t to wait before
they can have a commercial farm centre — consisting of «
~ ajuice bar, produce sales area, 50-seat show-ring theatre,
nursery and greenhouse — on their property at the c cor-
ner of East Saanich and McTavish roads: -
“At the June’ 28 North Saanich council esting: coun-.
- dlors defeated a motion with a tied vote that would have
; -allowed 0.3 hectares of the Crawford’s rural property on:
~ East Saanich and:McTavish roads. to be rezoned to allow
the commercial farm centre...’
es » “Although the property is soned for some commercial
s, use, ‘like a commercial farmer's market, it’s the way they
“want to. combine: things that’s the problem,” explained
- Mayor Linda Michaluk, who voted in favor of the pro-.
posal along with: co ncilors. rs Waly Du Temple a and: Ron”
