END OF REPORT

ALC STAFF COMMENTSIt is recommended that the Commission consider the following:

1) The improved CLI rating of the northwest portion of the subject property is 80% Class 3 limited by a combinationof soil factors and 20% Class 5 limited by inundation by flooding. The southeast portion of the property is Class 7 limited by topography and bedrock near the surface.

2) The applicant states the the property is mainly flat, slightly rolling sandy loam pasture with approximately 1/3 being low swampy are to the northeast of the creek.

3) The applicants have built a 1000 square foot residence in the southwest corner of the subject property.

4) Regional District of Fraser-Fort George Planning staff noted that in 1982, an application was made to subdivide the SW 1/4 of DL 3330 into seven 0.8 ha lots. The Regional District denied forwarding the application to the ALC.

5) The applicants own the west adjacent property (Fractional Northwest 1/4 of District Lot 3330 Cariboo District, Except Plans 17159 and 21079). The applicants also own a small parcel outside of the ALR on Dorval Road whichis in the area west of the subject property.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT INFORMATIONOfficial Community Plan:

Comments and Recommendations:Board/Council

Other

The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George authorize the application for subdivision to proceed to the ALC.

The McBride Farmers Institute "objects to the application as we feel this parcel stands as a viable small farm with productive hay fields. We should not allow a building site in the middle of viable farmlands (hay fields) just to later be subdivided. This could set a precedent that would hugely affect small farms."

The Village of McBride Council reviewed the information provided and their interests are unaffected by this subdivision and have no concerns.
