September 24, 2020 By email only Islands Trust Attention: Warren Dingman, Bylaw Compliance and Enforcement Manager Re: 198 Cliffside Road, Saturna, B.C. Dear Mr. Dingman Thanks for your email and letter of September 10, 2020 to me for SIRRA in response to ours of August 17, 2020 to the Trust. We did not receive it until September 17th as you know. We appreciate your information and will post it on our website for our members and the community. The question you have not addressed, #6 in our letter, is important. There is much misinformation and concern circulating still about this matter, and particularly the future implications of such development for the rest of us residents on Saturna. Please address it. We attach an email dated June 10, 2020 from Peter Warburton of the Ministry of Forest, etc. . . to Susie Washington Smythe of this island. You will note the representations at the 5th and 6th paragraphs of that letter that “. . .any potential zoning/bylaw issues had been addressed and resolved with the appropriate governing body.”, and “ Referral Agencies included: . . . Islands Trust.”. Can you explain how this is consistent with your statement in your letter that “This application was not referred to Islands Trust for comment on compliance with local bylaws.”? We wonder how all this information might have been more effectively communicated to the community, and particularly neighbours, in light of the apparent lack of actual knowledge on the part of at least some here. > Sincerely David Osborne President, for SIRRA CC. Peter Luckham, Chair (by email) Russ Hotsenpiller, CAO (by email) Saturna Island Local Trust Committee
