271 Campbell Road – Development Variance Permit	The purpose of this Public Hearing was to consider a proposed bare land strata title subdivision for 271 Campbell Road (Legal description: Lot 4, Section 16, Range 7, Plan 8125, Quamichan District, PID 000-380-849) and a related Development Variance Permit for the following items: The existing dwelling to abut the common property area The minimum side-yard setback to be 0.0 metres rather than the required 1.5 metres (5') The south side eave of the existing dwelling to encroach into the Common Property.
	There was no correspondence received in response to the April 10, 2003 circular sent to affected property owners and tenants within 60 metres of 271 Campbell Road.
	Mr. Graham Edwards of 950 Marchmont Road addressed the Hearing and advised that he was in favour of the proposed strata subdivision and Development Variance Permit, however, he asked why City Council had refused a subdivision of this property in the past. It was explained that a previous application was for a pan-handle lot subdivision which creates a long driveway beside a dwelling that has no control over the condition of the property on which the driveway exists. The new proposal is for a bare land strata subdivision, which provides for the driveway to be common property and owned by the owners of both strata lots.
	Mrs. Beverly Edwards of 950 Marchmont Road also addressed the Hearing and asked for clarification of the location of the proposed dwelling. She was referred to the dotted line on proposed Strata Lot B.
	Mayor Coleman called for further public input 3 times and hearing none, declared the hearing adjourned at 7:40 p.m.
