An application to rezone a property located at the corner of Comox Logging Road, Cumberland Road and Arden Road received third reading from the City of Courtenay in December. The 26 acre-project contains a mixture of single family homes, some with secondary suites and will also include eight lots that will contain duplexes. Lot sizes will vary in size. The proposals also include parkland dedications along Piercy Creek and the creation of public trails in the area. This project is expected to be presented to Council within the next two months for consideration and final approval. First Report: September 14, 2011 Last Report: December 12, 2012

The Comox Valley Regional District will contribute $190,000 to ensure an artificial turf soccer pitch can be built at the Vanier Secondary School site in Courtenay. Courtenay councillors agreed last month to contribute $860,000 to the project. The Comox Valley Soccer Club has raised around $400,000 through its own efforts towards the expected $1.44 million cost of the pitch which, when built, will allow soccer to be played year-round.

The award for the tender for the civil, electrical and construction work for the initial stages of the new $28 million electricity substation just north of Buckley Bay has not yet been awarded. An announcement is expected to be made in the next few weeks. The project is intended to ensure areas south of Courtenay have enough power for the next 30 years. The substation is on a site high above Brean Road and will provide electricity for new development projects. The selected 10-acre site, chosen from 13 potential locations, is right alongside the main Island power transmission power lines, close to the Inland Island Highway but not within sight of it and away from any residential homes. Uplands Excavating was awarded the contract to construct an access road from the Inland Island Highway and grade the construction site. The location is about three kilometres north of Union Bay. Four companies have submitted pricing for the project, which range from $3.9 million to $4.3 million. First Report: April 6, 2011 Last Report: January 16, 2013

COMOX VALLEY REGIONAL DISTRICT (cont.)Comox Valley Curling ClubApplicant: Comox Valley Regional District, 600 Comox Road, Courtenay, BC V9N 3P6Phone: 250.334.6000 Fax: 250.334.4338 www.comoxvalleyrd.ca
Comox Valley Regional District, which owns the curling rink, had intended to allocate $216,000 in this year's budget to commence upgrades at the facility. Some structural improvements have been carried out in recent years, but if the building is to have a significantly longer life, substantial work will be needed. Last year a detailed feasibility study was completed by RDH Building Engineer Ltd. to investigate the need for upgrades - potentially including the replacement of the entire floor slab, which could be in danger of cracking. That study suggested essential improvements to keep the rink operational would cost around $500,000. Completely renovating the existing structure and improving both the sporting and social amenities on site could incur expense of perhaps $3.6 million and a completely new curling facility would cost more than $7 million. The plans to start a program of improvements to extend the life of Comox Valley curling rink have been put on hold. First Report: February 22, 2012 Last Report: October 17, 2012
Vanier Track Resurfacing — Comox Valley Sports CentreApplicant: Comox Valley Regional District, 600 Comox Road, Courtenay, BC V9N 3P6Phone: 250.334.6000 Fax: 250.334.4338 www.comoxvalleyrd.caConsultant: RF Binnie & Associates 205-4946 Canada Way, Burnaby, BC V5G 4H7 Email: [email protected]
The Comox Valley Regional District has endorsed its 50 per cent share of the cost of replacing the all-weather running track on the Vanier Secondary School site. The Vanier running track replacement, a joint responsibility of the Comox Valley Regional District and School District 71, is now expected to cost close on $1 million, including extensive improvements to drainage work on the site. The running track has been damaged by heavy wear and tear over the years, and which is affected by localized subsidence. Estimates for the work sought last year came in much higher than anticipated, so the project was put on hold. It is intended the track will be replaced during the summer months of this year, with School District 71 expected to seek tender bids from qualified contractors within the next month or two.

COMOX VALLEYSewer Development Cost Charges to IncreaseContact: Marc Rutten, Comox Valley Regional District, 600 Comox Road, Courtenay, BC V9N 3P6Phone: 250.334.6080 Email: [email protected]
Public information meetings were held last summer and fall regarding the proposed increases in the Sewer Development Cost Charges (DCCs). A report has been compiled and it been approved by the province. A new bylaw has been written to incorporate the new DCCs and they are expected to be presented to the CVRD Board for approval on Mar. 26, 2013.

Sewer DCCs will apply to any new construction in Courtenay and Comox are recommended to increase from the current charge of $2,470 to $5,980 for a single family lot. The commercial/institutional rate would increase from $7.20 to $34.89 per square metre. For more information about the DCCs, contact Marc Rutten at the CVRD.

The company wants to begin the project at the Westview terminal in June, however, with no disruption to ferry traffic.

The first meeting was held on Feb. 19. The second meeting will be held on Wed., Feb. 20 at Texada Community Hall in Gillies Bay on Texada Island. First Report: February 20, 2013

A tunnel will link the facility to the hospital. The exterior of the facility will be built with a non-combustible cement wood material which resembles wood siding. The entry way at the front will be built with large locally-sourced cedar timbers. Powell River Regional Hospital District (PRRHD) is financing the project and will own the facility.

The project is currently open for bidding until the end of Mar. 2013 and 14 contractors have been prescreened and approved to bid on the project.

PORT ALICE - DEFLECTION DIKE ASSESSMENT, MAINTENANCE PLAN & EMERGENCY PLANSOLICITATION #DIKE RFP 2013-01CONTACT:! Madeline McDonald, Administrator, Village of Port Alice P.O. Box 130, Port Alice, BC V0N 2N0
Phone: 250.284.3391 Fax: 250.284.3416 Email: [email protected]! The Village of Port Alice is located on a geological fan in an area prone to slides and debris flows. The
community was constructed in 1965 and was hit by a damaging debris flow in 1973 and again in 1975. In response to these disasters, the Province funded the construction of the Port Alice Deflection Dike ("the Dike") in 1976. The Provincial Department of Environment commissioned a geotechnical firm to undertake the necessary study and design work and a model of the structure was constructed and tested. The Dike has functioned well since that time and none of the properties located within the protected area have been impacted by debris flows or slide activity since its installation. The Village of Port Alice now requires an Assessment of the Dike to determine if it is functioning in accordance with its original design and to provide the Village with advice related to any necessary repairs and/or adjustments required. Further, the Village is in need of a comprehensive Maintenance Manual to provide staff with direction for on-going maintenance. The third component of this review will be the development of an Emergency Monitoring and Response Plan related to geotechnical events and/or debris flows.
