Nichol Road ‘remix’ plan proposed City proposes separated pedestrian walkway, in addition to bike lanes, narrower motorvehicle lanes to deal with safety issues on main route to Revelstoke Mountain Resort Aaron Orlando

The microphone boom gives it away. A stuntman strapped into a sled teeters precariously on the edge of a cliff near the Nels Nelsen Ski Jump in Mount Revelstoke National Park on April 12. The production crew for Mountain Men was filming a scene at the location, which involved an injured man in a sled going over the cliff. The film stars Chace Crawford and Tyler Labine, who portray brothers that return to their hometown of Revelstoke for a wedding. Once there, they embark on a journey of discovery together after a backcountry mishap. Producer Jason James and writer/director Cam Labine filmed a wedding scene at the Revelstoke United Church on April 9. After some more shooting in town, the crew will be relocating to a property just outside of Revelstoke for much of the filming. Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review

The City of Revelstoke’s Development Services department has unveiled a proposed solution to traffic issues on Nichol Road. Since the opening of Revelstoke Mountain Resort, the roadway has been the main route to the resort. However, the road travels through the Arrow Heights Elementary School 30 km/h zone, leading to safety concerns, especially since there is no sidewalk on the road. A hill on Nichol Road by the school ices over periodically, and has sent several cars sliding out of control into the snowbanks and trees in the school zone. A nine-page report was presented by Development Services Department Director Mike Thomas at the City of Revelstoke’s April 10 Development Services Committee meeting. The report lists possible options, and calls for a “remix” plan that focuses on creating a sidewalk separated from the roadway by a swale (more or less a shallow drainage ditch). At the April 10 meeting, and in his report, Thomas explained that the long-term plan for Revelstoke Mountain Resort warrants a four-lane, curbed roadway through Nichol Road. But that’s expensive, Thomas explained, and the resort isn’t currently developed enough to warrant a four-lane roadway. “There area lots of people who want a sidewalk on every street, [but] that means we have to maintain it,” Thomas said. Another issue is storm-water management. If you build a curbed roadway, you’re creating a river that needs to be piped away; Arrow Heights doesn’t have storm sewers, so they’d need to be built from the bottom up, which is also very expensive. Thomas explained building curbs also means trucking the snow away, which has significant life-cycle costs. The final consideration is a sewer main that runs along the roadway. Currently, no residences on a long stretch of Nichol Road are hooked up to the pipe, but a bylaw in place requires them to do so when their septic systems fail. Thomas said it wouldn’t be ideal to pave over the pipe, then chew it up as hook-ups are added. The report also explored creating a separate multi-use path for pedestrians and cyclist, but found it would actually decrease safety for cyclists and pedestrians. The proposed ‘remix’ option calls for reducing the width of each lane from about 12 feet to 10 feet, to make way for cycling lanes on either side. The pedestrian path would be on the north side of the roadway, on the side of Arrow Heights Elementary School. It would be separated from the roadway by a swale that is approximately three metres wide.

of between $60 million–$100 million, due to steep grades, span of the bridge and environmental concerns,” Thomas writes. The report says an improved crossing at the existing bridge is a more likely option. Since Thomas was named director in 2013, the city’s Development Services department has focused on lifecycle cost considerations when planning all infrastructure, and this is the thrust of the report and discussion at the April 10 meeting. One attendee at the meeting wondered if the solution was a bit “rural” for a growing resort area. “When you say rural, I say sustainable,” Thomas replied. The report will now proceed to city council for consideration. The city successfully applied for $80,000 in tourism infrastructure funding for the project. The budget is $126,000. The City of Revelstoke Development Services department has prepared a ninepage report on the proposed new Nichol Road configuration.

City explores vacation rentals in all residential areas under ‘sub-zone’ scheme Want to turn your home into a revenue-generating vacation rental? Maybe for just part of the year? A new plan would allow that in any residential zone in Revelstoke, but you’ll have to get the OK from city council and probably support from your neighbours first Aaron Orlando

licence fee – he mentioned $200 at the April 10 meeting, as an example of the cost range. Another concept is limiting the number of days a property can be used as a vacation rental in a given year. Provisions could be included to revoke the vacation rental subzone status if it’s not used for that purpose for a period of time. So, what happens next? Council will likely get a report on the general direction of the plan in the coming weeks. After that, Development Services department staff will develop the details in the coming weeks and months, and then it comes back to council for further consideration, and adoption. If you want to have your say on the plan, you’ll need to contact city staff and/or city council between now and then. The change is part of a new zoning review strategy revealed by Strachan at the same meeting. Put simply, the Development Services department plans to overhaul the

ers of a residentially-zoned property would apply for a sub-zoning (otherwise known as a ‘use’). That ‘special use’ zoning allows for the vacation rental. Development Services department manager Dean Strachan developed the proposal. “This plan is designed around giving council as much authority as possible and as much autonomy on each application as possible,” he told the development services committee at their April 10 meeting. In response to a question, he said he felt it’s premature to develop an over-arching plan for vacation rentals in Revelstoke. “At this point I think it’s almost jumping over three steps to take it to that level,” Strachan said, adding the benefit of this plan is to see how vacation rental applications progress over time, then use that as a guideline for a more comprehensive plan. Strachan said the plan is to charge a significant business

City of Revelstoke Development Services department is proposing allowing vacation rentals in all Revelstoke residential zones, but individual property owners will have to overcome several barriers to get the ‘sub-zoning’ approval necessary. These barriers include input from neighbours through a hearing process, subzoning approval from city council, a special business licence and physical requirements like parking spaces and fire safety equipment. All the details of the plan have not yet been spelled out, but this new, general policy direction got approval at the Development Services Committee April 10 meeting and will now head to city council for consideration. If they get the OK from council, city staff will develop the specifics. What’s new here is a change in approach. In 2013, the city’s planning department proposed a ‘special zone’ vacation rental plan that laid out specific streets where vacation rentals would be allowed. An overlay map focused potential vacation rentals on arterial roads, and in some neighbourhoods in Upper Arrow Heights, near Revelstoke Mountain Resort. However, that plan never got past early drafts before being scrapped during a 2013 overhaul of the planning department. The new plan proposes allowing vacation rentals more-or-less anywhere, but proposes giving neighbours and council significant veto power. The plan is based on a subzone concept. Basically, own-

city’s zoning bylaws on a piece-by-piece basis, instead of as part of a comprehensive plan. The City of Revelstoke tried and failed to implement a ‘Unified Development Bylaw’ between about 2009 and 2013, but the novel system fell short of implementation over concerns including cost, legal exposure and changes in the macroeconomic climate that stalled development in the city.

The Revelstoke Rod and Gun Club would like to thank the following for their contributions which helped make our annual fundraising banquet a huge success:

Proponents for the creation of a fenced, off-leash dog park in Revelstoke gathered for an innaugural meeting on April 14, where they discussed first steps. Off-leash dog parks are common in municipalities across B.C. Owners favour them for the meeting, socializing and exercise opportunity they create for dogs, and their owners. Typically, they are a gated, fenced area with provisions like garbage cans and dog poo bags. Some are smaller, neighbourhood-park sized facilities, while others are quite large. The group’s de facto leader is Jenn Howe, who led the discussion for the dozen or so people in attendance. They plan to form a society to act as a tool that can raise funds to see the project through. No definitive plans were made. Instead, there was a wide ranging conversation that asked questions such as: Where should it go? How much does fencing cost? What kind of fencing is appropriate? What grant opportunities are available? What fundraising opportunities exist? Who will ultimately own the park and how will insurance work? What is the procedure for working with the City of Revelstoke on the proposal? How should we form the organizing committee? For now, the group is organizing through the Facebook group Revelstoke Dog Park. Contact the group there to get involved. Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review

The new Upper Arrow Lakes ferry will not be in service for the May long weekend due to delays caused by a subcontractor for the project. A spokesperson for the Ministry of Transportation told Black Press that while construction of the ferry is on schedule, sea trials have been delayed, pushing the maiden voyage of the ferry into June, past the previously scheduled May 16 date. “While construction of the vessel is anticipated to be com-

pleted on schedule, the sea trials will be delayed due to unforeseen circumstances associated with personnel from one of the sub-contractors,” the transportation ministry spokesperson said. “A key participant in the sea trials is unable to attend due to medical reasons and the company was not able to immediately assign a replacement.” The $26.5 million ferry is being built by Waterbridge Steel in Nakusp. During a February tour of the ferry, lead contractor John Harding told the Times Review construction was on

schedule and the ferry would be ready for sea trials at some point in March, however that is obviously no longer the case. Harding did not return calls asking about progress on the ferry. The ferry will be able to transport 80 vehicles and 250 passengers on the Galena Bay to Shelter Bay route, and will replace the two existing ferries that currently ply the route in the summer. Two ferries will run over the May long weekend until the new ferry is in service.

Blowout and washout near Farwell Park Aaron Orlando

A water line blowout eroded part of the roadway near Okanagan College overnight between Saturday night and Sunday morning. City public works manager Darren Komonoski said the problem started at a residential connection and then eroded the soil, eventually breaking the main line that runs down the road. The roadway was torn up for about 40 metres, and significant amounts of soil was washed down the hill. Crews worked overnight to fix the main. The outage only affected residents within about a block of the break. The City of Revelstoke has also been doing water line flushing across town over the past weeks, and will continue for the next couple of months. It’s an annual maintenance exercise designed to clean out the pipes and extend their working life. The work causes short, temporary outages and can lead to discoloured, often rusty-

MLA wants support on Agricultural Land Reserve issue

MLA REPORT

BY NORM MACDONALD There is a battle cry that has been ringing throughout the Kootenays over the last number of days as people across this region stand up to fight to protect our agriculture lands. What people are saying is Kill Bill 24! On March 27, the BC Liberals, led primarily by the Kootenays’ own Bill Bennett, introduced Bill 24, legislation that could effectively eliminate the protection of any agricultural lands in this area. And,

in what Mr. Bennett undoubtably believed was a terribly witty comment on food production in our area, he claimed that the only thing that grows in this area is hay. Anyone who has attended a local farmers’ market knows that there is a tremendous abundance of food grown in this region. And anyone who has stood in a long line-up in front of a produce stand on market day knows that the demand for locally-grown produce is very strong. What we need is access to more agricultural land, not less. What we need is more support and assistance for farmers and ranchers, not less. And what we need is more incentive to increase food production and develop facilities for food processing and storage, not less. But rather than responding to our desire to improve access to locally-grown food, this government has complicated meat inspection regulations for small-scale producers, refused to assist local ranchers in developing community-based abattoir

facilities, and made it even easier for existing agriculture land to be removed from the protection of the Agricultural Land Reserve. We are becoming more and more aware that our current food system, which relies on industrially-produced food travelling over vast distances, is not sustainable. And forward-thinking agricultural pioneers in this area are doing their best to develop a sustainable local food system right here in the Kootenays. If you support local food production, it’s time for everyone of us to say Kill Bill 24! We may find that 30 years down the road saving this agricultural land today is the best way to ensure we can feed ourselves in the future. Tell the Premier what you think by sending an email to premier@gov.bc.ca. Don’t let this government take away this precious local resource. Norm Macdonald is the MLA for Columbia River–Revelstoke

Rod & Gun Club highlights wildlife safety issues Editor, An open letter to B.C. Minister of Environment Mary Polak regarding Revelstoke Conservation Officer issue Dear Minister, We are in receipt of your letter dated December 13, 2013, in which you have attempted to provide our club with the Ministry of Environment (MOE) rationale for not re-staffing a Conservation Officer (CO) in the community of Revelstoke. In your letter, you have cited the primary reason for your decision is that more incidents have been reported through the RAPP line in the Golden area than in the Revelstoke area; and that the Conservation Officer force is highly mobile and can attend emergencies as required. Since receipt of your letter, both the Con-

L ET T E R S servation Officer in Golden and the Revelstoke RCMP have telephoned our club to request assistance with three wildlife incidents. Two of the incidents involved moose – one hit by a vehicle and the other struck by a train, respectively, – and the other was a wolverine that was hit by a vehicle on the TransCanada. Direction was received by telephone from the Conservation Officer in Golden in all three incidents; at no time did a Conservation Officer arrive in Revelstoke to investigate any of these incidents. The travel time for a CO to attend from Golden would have been a minimum of two hours in the winter, perhaps even more time given the state of the

highways, if open. Fortunately the location of the train-struck moose was close to Revelstoke, the weather was cool, and we were able to salvage the animal while still daylight. Last week a cougar attacked and killed a dog in a residential area of Revelstoke. This “incident” occurred in a resident’s back yard. A follow-up trip to Revelstoke was made by a Conservation Officer from out of town to Revelstoke at least two days later. Small children could easily have been present in the yard when the cougar attacked. Last fall, the RCMP had to dispatch a black bear in town, hampered by some residents trying to take pictures while the RCMP

Over the past year, ideas for billboards, electronic billboards, in-town way-finding signs, and the existing signs have all run into trouble. The problem was process, more or less. Several entities have been pushing for new signs, but each has their own ideas. This includes the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce and the City of Revelstoke’s Enhancement Committee. After debate over the approach and design (sign design debates can be a bit like herding cats), the concepts for new signs are created. Then the concept goes to city council, who have rejected some. After that, it’s referred to city staff, who raise their objections. Then, it’s back to the committees who proposed the idea.

The City of Revelstoke’s enhancement committee has hashed out a plan to update the existing tourist signs in Revelstoke. These are the main, large way-finding signs at the entrances to town, like the one at the intersection of Fourth Street and Townley Street, or the ones at the TransCanada Highway eastern and western accesses to Revelstoke. Many of them are based on a red brick platform. City of Revelstoke economic development director Alan Mason said they’re over 20 years old, and are in need of “refreshing.” After running through several proposals in the past months, on April 9 the committee opted to move forward with signage that utilizes the city’s existing branding scheme. The new signs feature white backgrounds with the red or burgundy logo. dealt with the bear. The RCMP killed the animal as there was no Conservation Officer available to take responsibility for dealing with the issue. It is not the RCMP mandate to manage fish and wildlife issues, nor are they trained for these duties. The MOE is abrogating their responsibility to the public by requesting that the RCMP and Rod & Gun Club conduct duties that are clearly proscribed to the MOE. Referring back to your rationale for not providing a CO to Revelstoke: we submit it is not the numbers of incidents that should dictate allocation of resources; it is the severity of the issue – public safety – that is paramount. With regards to mobility of the Conservation Service: CO attendance has been zero with respect to the above recent incidents since the incumbent CO retired in December. The CO attended the cougar incident only, at least a couple of hours after the incident. This is an unacceptable delay given the obvious threat to human safety. We require a Conservation Officer in Revelstoke immediately to deal with re-occurring public safety issues; with poaching issues; and other fish/wildlife offences; as well as routine fish and wildlife management issues. Further, the extensive time delays and complexity experienced in trying to coordinate effective response to wildlife incidents by an out-of-town CO with the RCMP and our club members is extremely inef-

fective and time-consuming. Wounded animals are needlessly suffering longer. The RCMP and the Revelstoke Rod & Gun Club are not surrogates for the MOE to use to manage wildlife in absentia from another community. Additionally, the RAPP line reporting telephone mechanism is extremely dysfunctional as most residents are now cognizant that there is no CO in Revelstoke to deal with wildlife problems in a timely manner, even if reported. We are aware that our MLA, Norm Macdonald, the City of Revelstoke, and other organizations and individuals in the Revelstoke Community have contacted you about the issue. Our club has initiated a petition in this regard which we will be sending you once we have reached our target goal of 500 signatures. We are also encouraging all persons to call the RAPP line (1-877-952-7277) if they become aware of any known or suspected wildlife contraventions/ issues. We implore you to reconsider your decision before public safety is further compromised by even more serious human/wildlife interactions, and fish and wildlife management in our community is further eroded. Gary Krestinsky President Revelstoke Rod & Gun Club

Multi-venue shoulder season concert series planned for 2015 Salmon Arm Roots and Blues executive director Hugo Rampen tapped as organizer of new shoulder season Revelstoke music festivals Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Arts Council is planning to host two shoulder-season music festivals in Revelstoke, the first in late September of 2015. The arts council’s application for $50,000 in funding from the Revelstoke Tourism Infrastructure Committee was approved by council in late March. Arts council chairperson Carol Palladino explained the funding will be used to hire an administrator to organize the festival. The plan is to host an event timed around the summer solstice in the third week in June, then another in late September. Although the funding is not 100 per cent confirmed yet, Palladino explained the Arts Council is planning to hire Hugo Rampen as the events organizer. Rampen is the current administrator, executive director and artistic director of the Salmon Arm Folk Music Society, which hosts the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Fes-

tival. He’s worked on the festival since 2006 and is planning to leave soon, Palladino said. She said the idea is to create “multi-venue, multi-genre music festival” with something for everyone. It won’t be a set genre of music: “It’s not going to be a reggae festival and it’s not going to be a blues festival,” she said. Instead, the arts council wants to create something that will attract a broad audience. They hope to use many city venues like bars, clubs, churches, theatres and other performance spaces. Their funding proposal also calls for use of space at Revelstoke Mountain Resort. “The goal is to bring people from out of town,” Palladino said, adding that the yet-unnamed festival “needs to be embraced by the people who live here, it needs to be representative of the community that is hosting it.” Revelstoke has hosted arts and music festivals in the past, but they all eventually died out because they were volunteer-run, and volunteers

Back in the summer of 2011, the Sheepdogs were an up-and-coming band touring a new album. Just as they were set to play this RevFest show in Centennial Park, Rolling Stone named them as a new band to watch and put them on the cover of the ... magazine. Despite having the rising band headline, the festival died out, due in part to volunteer burnout. The Revelstoke Arts Council is now planning a new concert series. Revelstoke Times Review file photo

are susceptible to burnout. “We need to really kick it up a notch,” Palladino said. How big of a deal will the festival be? What kind of scale? Currently, the Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival attracts about 15,000 people each year. “We’re not going to hit the

ground at 15,000 people,” Palladino said. “But I think if we’re going to grow some successful events, I think we need the expertise, we need the planning; we need to have that good foundation to be able to move forward.” She said the arts council would be happy with an inaugural turnout of 2,500 to

3,000 people. The $50,000 will help pay for the services provided by Rampen and his company in the first two years. “We are putting a structure in place to move it forward,” Palladino said.

ICBC glitch means refunds for some drivers

ICBC says it accidentally over- or under-charged nearly 600,000 of its optional auto insurance customers and will issue refunds with interest averaging $162 to those who paid too much. Most motorists aren’t affected by the glitch, which happened because incorrect descriptions were assigned years ago to some vehicles. The error was uncovered last year with ICBC’s move to a new computer system. About 1.8 per cent of optional insurance customers paid an average of $21 too much per year as a result and 240,000 drivers are owed cumulative refunds stretching back as far as 2008, according to ICBC. The public auto insurer is updating vehicle descriptions for past years so it can accurately recalculate historic premiums and repay improper charges for the last six years – as far back as its legacy computer system permits. Another 350,000 customers paid less than they should have by about $34 per year on average but ICBC won’t bill them retroactively. Affected drivers are to be notified and receive refund cheques by July. ICBC expects to pay out $36 million in refunds plus interest of $3 million. It estimates it lost $71 million in underpayments since 2008. The faulty vehicle descriptions affect only optional insurance, not basic rates. ICBC’s board is also appointing an outside auditor to review the error. The error isn’t expected to recur because ICBC’s modernized system will pull the correct description from the vehicle identification numbers, instead of being entered manually by Autoplan agents.

1. Revelstoke artist Bruce Thomas (pictured in photo 4) presents Next Passage Out until May 2 at the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre. His mixed media works are based on photographs he has curated, then altered through computer algorithms he adapts on a computer. The process involves tweaking and creating snapshots of the process, which are presented as photographic prints. He also based an acrylic painting series on the results; the series is based on early Persian and 17th Century French vessels, their profiles surrounded by blocked primary colours. “I’m obsessed with the craftsmanship of shape and the deconstruction of shape.” Thomas explained, saying that the computers “are actually making a lot of the decisions.” He explained he as an artist is involved in the process “in a God’s breath way.” Thomas is exploring how artistic media convergence has created interchangeability. 2. A detail of a mixed media work by Gwen Lips entitled Gotcha shows – presumably – a gardener spraying poisons onto flowers. It’s part of the In My Garden Grows series in the main hall at the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre. The show opened on April 11 and runs to May 2. 3. New, colourful planter boxes at the RVAC are part of a community garden planned in partnership with the North Columbia Environmental Society.

Begbie View science fair 4

1. When the budget barbarians come knocking on the laboratory door with cuts in mind, they often target basic scientific research instead of applied science, arguing the latter will have a near-term payoff. But scientists argue that basic science is responsible for the basis of transformative technologies. For example, if online complaining is your measurement tool, the biggest crises Revelstoke faces each spring is post-melt dog doo on the greenbelt trail. Although grade 5 student Nelson Luxmoore doesn’t have the answer, his meticulous basic research could one day be part of a solution to our dog excrement crisis. Nelson followed dogs around with a clipboard as they did their business, and found that dogs often face either one of the poles when they “eliminate.” His research confirmed earlier observations, and displayed good scientific organization. One day, his research could lead to a solution to the greenbelt poop issue. Nelson also gained real-life science skills; as local biologists will tell you, a big part of the job is following animals around and analyzing their scat. 2. Carlos Serrouya’s (in checked shirt) experiment studied pain tolerance. Could kids keep their hand in icewater longer when they were playing video games? The answer is yes. He concluded it could have applications for pain management, amongst other things. 3. Teacher Laurie Henshaw organized the science fair for her grade 5 class. She recruited several Revelstoke-based scientists to officiate at the April 10 fair, which featured lots of great exhibits. 4. Alex Jay’s experiment measured the effect of penstock height on power generation on a water wheel. 5. Holly Hamilton focused on slime, more specifically investigating the nature of chemical reactions involving monomers. She created slime for the project and also explained the reactions using elastic bands. 6. Jaclyn Elliott studied the effect adding coffee grounds to soil had on mung beans. The effect was pretty dramatic; the plant on the right with the coffee grounds wasn’t doing nearly as well as the control plant on the left. Anyway, Elliott said she couldn’t say scientifically, but it’s probably OK if I keep putting my coffee grounds in the compost because she added a pretty big, concentrated dose to the soil. 7. In a display of scientific and engineering ability. Magnus Nielsen converted his bike into a generator that powered the light bulb display behind him.

Therapeutic riding

New program delivers health benefits for kids on horseback Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

A new therapeutic riding system offered at the Selkirk Saddle Club grounds by instructor Tanya Secord helps young riders thrive and overcome mental and physical barriers. Secord recently completed her training in the Okanagan, meaning she’s a certified assistant instructor with the Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association. It enables her to do one-on-one lessons with students, many of whom face physical or mental challenges. Last week, I visited the Selkirk Saddle Club’s new covered riding area to observe a lesson. The two students, Neava and Zayden, mounted up and did some natural stretching exercises on the horses. They practiced coordination drills with balls, then did riding laps around the enclosure. The practiced drills, like commu-

nicating with the horse through commands, and tossing bean bags into targets. Secord explained the curriculum is designed to develop motor skills and cognitive abilities. For example, riding the horse develops hip strength, and the bean bag exercises help with core strength. “It has a huge on their muscular development,” Secord said. Hand-eye coordination and concentration are also improved. Communicating with the horse by issuing commands helps build communication skills. And it’s fun, Secord said. “It’s about giving them a sport they can do without judgement,” she said. “And it’s just fun interaction with other people.” Lessons are available via Tanya Secord at the Selkirk Saddle Club. Some funding assistance is available through Community Connections Revelstoke for those who qualify.

Workers lowered the 137-tonne Mica 5 turbine into the new, fifth generating unit on April 11. The 6.45-metre-wide turbine will spin at 133 rotations per minute when operational, meaning it had to be centred within a fraction of a millimetre. The turbine was built in Germany and made the voyage here in 2013. The generator is the first of two to be installed as part of an expansion at Mica Dam that will add new fifth and sixth generators. Crews will now complete construction work on the fifth unit, and prepare for the installation and completion of the sixth unit in October, 2015. The $900-million upgrade to the dam also includes replacing the aging switchgear at the dam. BC Hydro image

New 18-month city zoning bylaw overhaul push underway City plans to overhaul zoning bylaw, which was put on the books in 1982. The last attempt started in 2009 then crashed and burned in 2013 when the revolutionary Unified Development Bylaw proved too costly and complex for the city’s liking. The previous attempt sought to foster a greener, more human-scale community focused on several walkable hubs. That messaging is gone, replaced by a focus on getting it done quickly and efficiently – and on the cheap. Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

After the collapse of the Unified Development Bylaw process in early 2013, the City of Revelstoke has been quiet on plans to revamp city zoning. The current zoning bylaw was completed in 1982 and has had significant alterations since then. Basically, it’s antiquated, is a bit of a dog’s breakfast, and hasn’t kept up with actual real-world changes in the community that have impacted zoning significantly. In 2009, our new resort community had just completed its Official Community Plan, and hoped to modernize zoning through an new Unified Development Bylaw, which included contemporary zoning concepts, such as mixed use areas. But, the challenge of pioneering that kind of zoning bylaw – one of the first in Canada – proved to be too much, and city council withdrew in early 2013, citing ballooning costs

and legal hurdles as two main challenges. Now, the new Development Services department manager overseeing a revamp of zoning in Revelstoke has outlined his approach. At an April 10 Development Services committee meeting, Dean Strachan outlined plans to revamp the zoning bylaw on a piece-by-piece basis over the next year, culminating in a final push to revise the bylaw next summer. He said the step-by-step approach is favourable to taking on the job in one go: “When it comes around to next summer we’ll be able to introduce a new zoning bylaw,” Strachan told the committee. “So instead of going away and spending a year developing a zoning bylaw – and quite often communities will spend that year with a consultant at significant cost to do that – we’re going to do it in house, and we’re going to do it as a progressive plan and exercise, and

In this file photo from 2010, a team of hired consultants work with community members on an overhaul of the city’s zoning-related bylaws. The plan that began here was scrapped in 2013. This time around, the city is asking an in-house development manager to complete the zoning bylaw overhaul himself. Revelstoke Times Review file photo

we’ll do it piece by piece by piece.” By next summer, about 80 per cent of the bylaw will be revised, leaving the last parts for a final push to adopt a new zoning bylaw. He said an added benefit is the ability to deal with pressing issues as they arise. He said the plan is to create simpler, more seamless bylaws. In an “update road map” report into the zoning bylaw, Strachan said the city’s advisory planning commis-

COMING SOON

sion would receive review recommendations, and the final document would be subject to referrals and public hearings. As part of the zoning bylaw rewrite, vacation rentals are set for council discussion in May, and home occupation amendments are also up for discussion. The previous, failed zoning bylaw attempt that ended in 2013 outlined lofty, transformative goals. They included neighbourhood hubs, more

walkable communities, and more. This time, that messaging has been replaced with a focus on getting the bylaw done soon, without using outside consultants. The other focus is making the bylaws more accessible. “What we are doing is making the language so that anybody in the community can open the zoning bylaw, read it and understand it,” Strachan said.

At an April 10 meeting, the City of Revelstoke’s development services committee reviews different garbage can options, including the manual bins used now, and automated bins, some with bear-proof clips, and others without. Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The City of Revelstoke’s garbage truck is limping towards the end of its working life and needs to be replaced. But that decision isn’t as easy as going shopping for a new truck, because the city’s at a crossroads, facing several decisions with long-term financial implications. Should we introduce a compostable organics collection system? Should we continue on with manual garbage collection? Or should we buy an automated or semi-automated truck, both of which use a hydraulic claw to grab and lift special cans? And if we decide on the special cans, should we add bear-proof clips at significant extra cost? A draft waste management report introduced last week explored the options, seeking to clarify all the existing and planned waste management initiatives, then put a price tag on each option. It was prepared by city Environmental Sustainability Coordinator Penny Page-Brittin. The report found that, over the long term, the existing manual collection system is the most expensive. This is because the city will be required to increase garbage collection staff by a half-time position. This is a new work-safety requirement imposed on the city due to injury rates for garbage collectors. The cheapest option is an automated system, without the bear clips. The next cheapest is an automated system using bear

clips for half of the town, and half without. Going to full bear clips adds more expense, but is still cheaper than manual collection. The price range, over an 11-year ‘net-present-value’ sample period, ranges between $4.2 million for manual collection and about $3.7 million for the clip-less garbage cans. The report said calculating the cost of contracting out garbage collection was “difficult to determine” and didn’t include that option in the scenarios. As part of the study, staff rooted through garbage to analyze what people are throwing away. “They went in there and dug through the garbage. It was a hot day too!” Page-Brittin said. “What we see is people are still putting recyclable products into their garbage. We also see that a large portion of the garbage that is being landfilled is compostable organics – at 36.8 per cent.” It found that paper, plastic and compostable organics formed 73.5 per cent of the waste in our garbage. The current, long-term waste management plan, which is done in partnership with the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District, is considering collecting organic waste separately, so it can be composted. The regional district has just completed a feasibility study for the collection and processing of organic household waste. Revelstoke throws out an estimated 323 to 437 tonnes of organic waste each year. The CSRD is considering building an organic waste

composting facility in Revelstoke. Depending on the kind of facility – indoor or outdoor – the estimated cost ranges between $864,385 and $3,457,539. The waste management report doesn’t make a recommendation on organic waste collection, but says there are many options. Curbside collection has the highest pickup rates, but drop-off depots are also an option. The decision on how to deal with organic waste does effect the type of truck to be selected. In discussion, the committee members wondered about the viability of a fully-automatic garbage system in Revelstoke during snowy winters. The system requires the cans to be precisely placed on a level surface. The report will now proceed to Revelstoke City Council for consideration. At this point, the path forward seems open-ended. Some good news from the report: curbside garbage collection volumes have steadily decreased since 2009, from 1282 tonnes to 1102 tonnes in 2013. Total recycling volumes have increased since the curbside program was introduced. About 275 tonnes of recycling was collected at the depot in 2010. In 2013, combined depot and curbside recycling was about 525 tonnes – just about doubled.

Times Review in an interview from MSI headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah. She said MSI is “still evaluating” the situation. “Everybody at Mountain Sports International loves Revelstoke, and we’ve always really enjoyed working with the resort, and we are committed to maintaining that relationship,” Kunzer said. The Times Review was referred to Switzerlandbased Freeride World Tour Management SA for further comment. Our sources said that entity announced the 2015 tour stops. We didn’t receive a reply by deadline after emailing two contacts. One email autoreply said the spokesperson was not immediately available. We’ll update this story online if we get further details from them. The freeriding tour features big-mountain skiing and snowboarding. Riders descend steep, natural slopes and jump off exposed rocks and cliffs. The live events didn’t attract big crowds of onlookers to out-of-the-way, often out-of-bounds viewing areas in Revelstoke, but the event’s real audience is online and via television distribution.

Local organizers and partners of the Swatch Freeride World Tour by the North Face stop in Revelstoke were surprised with the April 8 announcement that Revelstoke won’t be included on the 2015 tour. A Switzerland-based company with controlling stakes in the tour announced a five-stop, Europeanfocused tour on April 8, leaving out some ski resort venues in North America. The announcement left partners in the tour, such as Revelstoke Mountain Resort, wondering what to do next. RMR had just finished the fifth and final year of their contract to host a stop of the big-mountain freeriding event. In July of 2012, the event structure changed when a ski event sponsored by Swatch and another freeride competition sponsored by The North Face amalgamated into one event that included ski and snowboarding components. Now, the controlling entity of the event is planning four European stops, and a final stop in Alaska. Revelstoke Mountain Resort (RMR) Director of Sales and Marketing Ashley Tait said the resort received little forewarning of the announcement. She was still sorting out the details last week. Tait said the tour had been a success for Revelstoke, achieving the goal of promoting the resort through the exposure it received by hosting the international competition. “We absolutely achieved those goals,” Tait said. She said the resort is now sorting out next steps, including the possibility of hosting an alternative event. “We don’t have any one event on the table right now,” Tait said, adding there are junior tours and other ski and snowboard events to consider. She added the change represented a clean slate: “There is a lot of different cool things we could look at doing,” Tait said. U.S.-based Mountain Sports International (MSI) is an outdoor sports-focused marketing and production company that specializes in filming. They were the onthe-ground organizers, filmers and producers of the tour in North America, including Revelstoke. Jessica Kunzer is the marketing and communications director for MSI. She said MSI wasn’t given any notice of the announcement. “This was a surprise to our company,” she told the

Junior open success

Royal Canadian Legion Branch #46 Revelstoke

The Revelstoke Junior Squash Team capped off its tournament schedule at the Sport Central Junior Open in Richmond last weekend. Nine Revelstoke players participated in the tournament. The highlight for our club was Sophie Dorrius winning the Girls U-11 division. Sophie finished the tournament with a 5-0 record. She only dropped one game in all five matches. “This another breakthrough for our club,” said club organizer Kevin Dorrius. “It is the first time that one of our athletes has won a main draw at a Junior tournament.” Previous, all our tournament wins have been in B Divisions. In other results over the weekend, Alexis Larson and Julia Dorrius both made the Girls U-13 semi-finals and Conner McCabe finished second in the Boys U-15B division. Pictured, here, Sophie Dorrius accepts her trophy from Shakiru Matti, Sport Central Head Squash Pro and Tournament Director. — Kevin Dorrius, Revelstoke Junior Squash
