Meeting Minutes 9.6 Development Variance Permit
Application for Dallas Manning and Valerie Jones (owners) located at 7103 Sante
Fe Way (La Casa Lakeside Resort). (VP-11-06) Central Okanagan West Electoral
Area (Electoral Areas, West Kelowna Fringe Area, Kelowna Fringe Area)
Staff
report dated June 21, 2011 outlined the variance permit application to allow a
reduction of the required rear yard setback from 2.0 m to .0635m to permit a
cantilevered deck attached to a resort cabin. Staff reviewed the background
and rationale for the application:
• Adjoining land to the east is common property (green space) of La Casa
Lakeside Resort and the aquatic environment adjacent to Okanagan Lake therefore
no residential buildings can be constructed in these areas;
• With exception of SL 276 to the southeast, no other tourist cabin strata lots
are adjacent to the property therefore viewscapes should not be impacted;
• The Board approved similar variances for cantilevered decks regarding two
strata lots located upslope near the west boundary of La Casa Lakeside Resort;
• The proponents have been working with RDCO staff to address the environmental
Development Permit provisions of Rural Westside OCP Bylaw No. 1274 in
conjunction with Building Permit #6496/11;
• The variance is supported by the Advisory Planning Commission and there have
been no objections from any agencies or from neighbouring property owners.
Chair Hobson asked if there was anyone in the gallery who deemed their property
to be affected by the variance. There was no-one. EDGSON/OPHUS
THAT the Regional Board approves Development Variance Permit application VP-1106
to vary the required rear yard setback from 2.0m (6.56 ft), as approved under
Development Permit DP-04-15, to 0.0635m (0.208 ft) to permit a cantilevered deck
attached to a resort cabin. CARRIED

Westside Road upgrades en route
By Staff Writer - Vernon Morning Star - April 27,
2011
Roads will be upgraded as part of a water infrastructure project in
the North Westside Road area.
The Central Okanagan Regional District board has approved a transfer
of $400,000 from the gas tax community works fund.
“The money will be used to recycle asphalt along roadways during
construction of the new water system for the Upper Fintry, Shalal
Road and Valley of the Sun subdivisions,” said Bruce Smith,
communications co-ordinator.
“By recycling road surface asphalt, greenhouse gas emissions will be
reduced, fewer aggregates will likely be needed and air quality will
be improved as there will be less need for dust suppression
chemicals.”
Funds will also be used for water quality control works.
“Construction on the new water system is expected to begin this
spring,” said Smith.
The board also endorsed a funding application for eligible costs
associated with integrating the new water system and the existing
Fintry water utility, pending transfer of the private utility to
CORD.
“Integration of the systems would help to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, improve water quality and see an efficient use of
infrastructure and staff resources,” said Smith.
In other North Westside news, directors have adopted official
community plan and rezoning bylaws for the strata at La Casa
Lakeside Resort.
Strata owners applied for the rezoning to allow for the development
of an outdoor swimming pool, a workshop and to recognize an existing
outdoor storage yard.
The structures are on a 1.47-hectare parcel adjacent to Terazona
Drive that is included in a 30-year Crown lease. |

Board Meeting Minutes 9.5 Referral Application -
FrontCounter BC: for a License of Occupation for a dock located adjacent to
Westside Road (La Casa Lakeside Resort). (CL10-10) Central Okanagan West
Electoral Area (All Directors) Staff report dated April 13, 2011 outlined the
Crown land referral application to consider granting a License of Occupation (up
to 30 years) for the purpose of developing moorage fronting the La Casa Lakeside
Resort's common property. Staff reviewed the application and the rationale for
non-support including agency referrals. It was noted the Environmental Advisory
Commission did not support the application. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and
Natural Resource Operations does not support the structure where it is proposed.
IHA does not support the location proposed. The proposed dock location is in a
kokanee spawning area. The applicant's agent was in attendance and did not
object to staff's recommendation. There was no comment for Board consideration.
BAKER/OPHUS
THAT FrontCounter BC Referral Application CL-1 0-1 0 for a License of Occupation
for the purpose of developing moorage fronting the strata's common property
not
be supported. AND FURTHER THAT:
• Upgrades to the existing facility occur instead of a new moorage structure as
per Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations comments.
• The proponent develop a long term plan for docking facilitates to address
known deficiencies with the existing marina and to concentrate moorage
facilities in one location prior to any approvals being considered.
• A more comprehensive Environmental Assessment be completed by a Qualified
Environmental Professional (RPBio) to address cumulative and residual effects,
restoration options and water quality concerns.
• The applicant complete a source protection plan that addresses future moorage
as per Interior Health comments.
• If any proposed dock construction requires work in the adjacent 30m riparian
area (i.e. dock access, parking, road upgrades, landscaping) a strata moorage
license of occupation should be withheld until the applicant is either exempt
from or first
obtains the required development permit from RDCO.
• Any proposed fixed dock structure design should take into account the method
of accessing the boats (such as a ladder) for loading and unloading with safety
matters being addressed. AND FURTHER THAT the Development Services department
report dated April 13, 2011 be forwarded to FrontCounter BC for their
information and consideration. CARRIED

5.1 Zoning contraventions at La Casa Lakeside Cottage Resort,
KAS2428 (All Directors -Unweighted Vote)
Staff report dated March 30, 2011 outlined the bylaw enforcement
issue at La Casa Lakeside Cottage Resort in regards to
complaints received alleging that some owners of La Casa are
using their cabins or campsites as their permanent residence
which is in contravention of RDCO Zoning Bylaw No. 871. Staff
provided a draft a letter for Board consideration.
In discussion, it was highlighted that the Resort would have to
apply to the Regional District should they wish to ask for a
zoning amendment. Staff noted that most lots in the subdivision
would not fit the current R1 zoning regulations.
Staff reviewed the process for bylaw enforcement when a
complaint is received-fine or court, depending upon the
complexities of the case.
By consensus it was agreed to the following edits:
Fourth paragraph change the word "may" to 'will" to read: "Where
the essential elements of the contravention can be proven and
witnesses are prepared to testify, the owners or occupants will
be fined, or proceedings will be initiated by the RDCO for,
prosecution in court".
Sixth paragraph remove the first sentence--"The only option
available to change the current zoning bylaw is a site specific
zoning amendment".
EDGSON/OPHUS
THAT the Regional Board direct staff to deliver the revised
letter to the 499 property owners of La Casa Lakeside Cottage
Resort, Kelowna, BC to cease offending Section 11.5 of the

and would need to comply with all provisions of Zoning Bylaw
No. 871 ;
-
Confirmation
that the proposed development is located outside of the
Hillside and Terrestrial Ecosystem Development Permit (DP)
Areas or application for a DP;
-
Obtain an
exemption for a Wildfire Interface DP or application for a
DP; and
-
Apply for and
receive a Form and Character DP in accord with the Resort
Commercial Development Permit Area provisions in the Rural
Westside OCP to address siting, design, landscaping, and
servicing issues.
Development Services staff would ensure that technical matters
raised through consideration of the application and at the public
hearing will be addressed at the time of development and building
permit application.
Should the Board grant further readings to the amending bylaws,
Development Services staff recommends that consideration of fourth
and final readings be withheld as per the Recommendation at the
beginning of the report.

Not that we want to see La Casa have a pool when La Casa is right on the lake where
people can swim in the lake (unnecessary pool), and when they have one pool
already ... but if this goes through, I would like to see a condition that
if there is ever a water shortage for other properties along Westside Road
(new subdivisions and/or the LUC campgrounds next to Valley of the Sun, Kubas Subdivision, etc, that need water for human habitation, that La Casa
cannot hog the water with a pool and that the pool can be closed at RDCO
Board discretion in the future.... how about you?? The government is
revising the Water Act and who knows, but sometime in the future this may
become a reality and it is best to protect the interests of all subdivisions
for human habitation.

recreational vehicle storage yard, and maintenance workshop/storage building
(NOTE: section 11.5.1.2 does not apply). In accordance with the bylaw
amendments, the applicants propose to develop an outdoor swimming pool and
workshop and to recognize an existing outdoor storage yard.
POLICY:
The Rural Westside OCP identifies existing or proposed resort developments as
"Commercial Resort". The Commercial policies of the OCP indicate that local
commercial uses will be limited to those existing zoned areas or where they may
be developed in conjunction with resort developments. The Rural Westside OCP
also designates development permit areas for the establishment of guidelines to
regulate the siting, form, character and landscaping of Resort Commercial Areas.
RATIONALE:
» The proposed OCP and zoning amendment would incorporate lands currently being
used as part of La Casa Lakeside Resort;
» The Crown Land parcel is subject to a long term 30 year lease with the
province which permits commercial resort uses;
» The outdoor storage area is existing and fenced;
» A site specific rezoning will restrict the uses to those specifically
requested as part of the OCP and rezoning application;
» A Development Permit will be required prior to any development occurring and
can address siting, design, landscaping, and servicing issues;
» The Province is supportive of the proponents effort to prevent activities
occurring on their property from encroaching into the Fintry Protected Area;
» Westbank First Nation is in support of the amendments required in order for
the applicant to utilize their lease for commercial resort purposes and in order
to fulfil development commitments made to owners of La Casa Lakeside Resort.
BACKGROUND:
The land under consideration is Crown land and is currently under a long term
lease (30 year) for commercial resort purposes. The Rural Westside OCP was
recently reviewed and updated to bring the document into compliance with
environmental Development Permit designations, policies, and guidelines that
have been adopted for other parts of the Regional District.
Based on mapping
regarding the environmental update to the OCP, the subject property has been
identified as having, Sensitive Terrestrial, Hillside, and Wildfire Interface
Development Permit Areas. The amending bylaw received first reading on January
24, 2011. The Regional Board requested that the following information be
provided at time of Public Hearing: verification of an adequate water supply for
the proposed additional uses over and above the projected build out of the La
Casa Lakeside Resort; additional detail on how drainage from the pool is to be
accommodated; and clarification on the ownership, use and location of the gate
at the southern edge of the Crown land tenure. The Board also questioned where
the archaeological site noted by the Province was located and whether there will
be any mechanism in place to protect encroachment into the Fintry Protected Area
and this was to be responded to at the time of Public Hearing.

AGENCY REFERRALS (Presented at First Reading):
RDCO Parks Department, RDCO Environmental Services Department, City of Kelowna
and the District of West Kelowna indicates their interests are unaffected.
The
Central Okanagan West Advisory Planning Commission support the application with
the condition that the C5 zoning be site specific to the uses as outlined in the
application. The Central Okanagan Environmental Advisory Commission supports
the application on the following conditions: no disturbance to occur on adjacent
natural areas; adequate disposal of water from the pool to the storm water
discharge system; the Leased area should not be further expanded; they only use
the area of land that has been allotted in the Lease and if any encroachment
occurs the disturbance is restored and a fence be placed around the Leased area.
RDCO Inspections Services indicates a Building Permit is required for the
swimming pool and hot tub. Provincial health approval is required for design of
the swimming pool and hot tub prior to Building Permit issuance. (NOTE - has
been received). RDCO Fire Services indicates no concerns. It was noted however
that it would be useful to have access to the pool for Fire Department water
supply if needed. If they either had a dry standpipe from the pool that the
department could use to draft or a gate large enough to allow the Fire
Department Engine to get close enough to the pool to access the water.
Interior Health indicates they have no objection to the prop0sed OCP and Zoning
Bylaw Amendments provided that any development is serviced by community sanitary
sewer and community water systems. Prior to construction of the proposed
swimming pool and hot tub the applicant must contact Interior Health for the
required construction permits and approvals. Ministry of Forests indicates no
concerns. The First Nation liaison indicates that the site identified in this
application is located within the Wilson Litigation area. There is also a known
archaeological site approximately 300m southeast of the area that is proposed
for rezoning. Integrated Land Management Bureau has no objections to the
proposal as they have recently offered a 30 year lease on the area.
Ministry
of Environment (Natural Resource Operations) indicates the following:
e Best Management Practices be applied specifically Develop with Care -
Environmental Guidelines for Urban and Rural Land Development;
-
They are currently investigating an amendment
to a water license held by the proponent and the proponent has agreed to
conserve water on Okanagan Lake;
- There was encroachment into the Fintry Protected Area (PA) however since
then fencing has been added and the encroachment appears to be recovering;
-
The gate on the property is
of concern at the southern edge of the cleared area and MOE is interested in
confirming the location of said gate with respect to the survey lot
boundaries to ensure that the gate is not located within the PA.
- If the gate and road that enters the PA is to access the water tower then
a Park Use Permit (PUP) will be required to use the road for access. If a
PUP is not obtained, the provisions to access the water tower through the PA
exclusion that was provided for that purpose when the PA was established
should be maintained (located in the vicinity of the
area that has been identified for a swimming pool in the application).
Ministry of Transportation and
Infrastructure indicates their interests appear unaffected and are prepared to
endorse the bylaw following 3rd reading.
Westbank First Nation indicates that they are in support of the amendments
required in order for the applicant to utilize their lease for commercial resort
purposes and in order to fulfil development commitments made to owners at La
Casa Lakeside Cottage Resort. PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS:
The primary purpose of the application is to allow the construction of a
swimming pool to be located on site. The application also recognizes an existing
fenced secured outdoor storage area used for storage of boats and construction
material. The applicant has requested that the rezoning also consider the
construction of a workshop in the storage area to be used for repair and
maintenance work. A building permit would be required for both the workshop and
the pool and would need to comply with all provisions of Zoning Bylaw No. 871.
The property is Crown Land and subject to a long term 30 year lease which has
recently been renewed by the Province. Currently located on the subject property
is the resort access road, parking, landscaping and a fenced storage yard. There
is also access to the crown land beyond the resort from the subject site. Part
of the area is located within a steep sloped area identified as having sensitive
terrestrial ecosystem values. The proposed development is intended to be located
outside of the Hillside and Terrestrial Ecosystem Development Permit (DP) Areas.
The site is however located within the Wildfire Interface
DP area and either an exemption or DP will be required at time of building
permit. Adjacent to the site on private property is an existing
building with washrooms and laundry facilities. This building would be renovated
to be part of the pool development including the
addition of a hot tub. The existing
parking area would be replaced with the pool
and adequate parking according to the zoning bylaw would need to be identified.
OCP Designation:
La Casa Lakeside Resort is located within a "Commercial Resort" designation and
identified as being within a Form and Character "Development Permit Area". The
Crown Land portion under consideration and subject to this application was not
incorporated into the "Commercial Resort" designation. The OCP designation was
set as "Parks and Recreation" which reflected the Provincial park reserve at the
time. Currently, the subject area is bounded on three sides by the Fintry
Protected Area (PA) but the lease recognizes the subject lands as being used for
commercial resort purposes. The proposed OCP designation would incorporate lands
currently being used as part of La Casa Lakeside Resort. The applicant would
need to apply for and receive a Form and Character DP in accord with the Resort
Commercial Development Permit Area provisions in the Rural Westside OCP prior to
any development occurring and can address siting, design, landscaping, and
servicing issues. Zoning:
The current zoning is RU1 Rural 1 and P1 Park and Open Space. The proposed C5
zoning would be in keeping with the remainder of La Casa Lakeside Resort. As the
Crown Land under consideration is a separate parcel, it is suggested that site
specific zoning for the uses proposed be applied. This approach is supported by
the APC and would clearly outline what uses are allowed.
Services:
The resort is currently on a private water system which draws water from
Okanagan Lake. Proponents indicated that there is adequate
water supply for the previously approved resort development in addition to
development proposed under this application. La Casa Lakeside Resort was the
subject of a previous Crown land application (File: CL-09-10) to increase their
allowable withdrawal and storage of water from Okanagan Lake. The applicant has
been asked to provide verification of an adequate water supply for the proposed
additional uses over and above the projected build out of the La Casa Lakeside
Resort prior to public hearing.
*(okanaganlakebc.ca's note) It says in Stantec's Report
that La Casa use low flow toilets and plumbing fixtures due to La Casa
initially being built for summer recreation and not full-time occupancy, do you
think La Casa should build a second pool? There was some concern raised
by the EAC on adequate disposal of water from the pool to the storm water
discharge system. The applicant has provided additional detail on how drainage
from the pool is to be accommodated. The area is currently within the North
Westside Road Fire Protection Area. Fire Services has indicated that it would be
useful to have access to the pool for Fire Department water supply if needed.
This can be addressed as part of the DP application.
There is an existing
Right of Way (ROW) over the area for constructing, operating and maintaining a
water line. The proposed development will need to be in compliance with the
provisions of the ROW. This ROW is also recognized in the Crown Land lease.
Fintry Protected Area (PA):
As noted by the Province, there was encroachment into the
(PA=Protected Area) PA however fencing has been added and the
encroachment appears to be recovering. EAC also indicated that proposed uses
should not encroach into the PA and if any encroachment occurs the disturbance
is restored. A fence has been placed on 2 sides of the area adjacent to the PA.
The east boundary is bordered by a steep slope which serves as a natural
boundary. The applicant has provided verification that the fence is located on
the leased area and does not encroach within the PA. Rehabilitation of the
encroachment area could be considered at time of DP.
The gate on the property
at the southern edge of the cleared area is of concern to the Province and the
applicant has confirmed the location of said gate with respect to the survey lot
boundaries. The Province noted that if the gate and road that enters the PA at
that point is to access their water reservoir then a Park Use Permit (PUP) will
be required to use the road for access. As noted earlier, the Board requested
that additional information be provided at time of the Public Hearing. The
following represents an update on the requested information.
Verification of an adequate water supply
for the proposed additional uses over and above the projected build out of the
La Casa Lakeside Resort:
The current water license for La Casa allows for 625 cubic meters of water per
day from Okanagan Lake. The new pool would use about 94 cubic meters of water on
the initial filling.
The water usage by the existing and proposed pool is within the capacity of the
current license as supported by a professional report on the anticipated future
use of water at the resort and also by the Ministry of Natural Resource
Operations. On average, daily use of the existing and proposed pool is reported
to be from 6 to 13 cubic meters per day. A third pool is also proposed which may
add another 6 cubic meters a day. This would represent 3%
of the water allocated to the resort.
As indicated by Ministry of Natural Resource Operations (Water Allocation), the
development will need to ensure that the water quantity diverted does not exceed
the quantity specified on the existing license. The
applicant will be required to stay within the amount allocated in the water
license. Detail on how drainage from the pool is to be accommodated:
Once filled the pool would not be drained, as it is a concrete pool. The pool
level would be reduced 12 inches for the winter period. This would be
accomplished by first letting the chlorine levels drop for about a week. Then a
small diameter hose would be placed in the dry well beside the pool and the pool
drained 12 inches. The dry well is used for any runoff from the deck areas of
the pool. The pool would not be drained into the storm drain system or the sewer
system. The dry well will not be connected to either the storm drain system or
the sewer system. Clarification on the ownership, use and location of the
gate at the southern edge of the Crown land tenure:
The green gate is located 42 feet south of the Crown lease area and the storage
area fence. The Fire Department, La Casa Utilities Ltd. and Strata KAS2428 hold
keys to the gate. The green gate is located on Crown Land. Ownership of the gate
has not been verified but it is assumed that the BC Government installed and
owns the gate. At present La Casa Utilities Ltd. is the only user of the gate.
The utility technician accesses the La Casa water reservoir as part of the
regular maintenance routine. Strata KAS 2428 applied in January 2011 to BC Parks
for a Land Use Occupancy Permit to allow this access by the utility technician.
When the fence was constructed around the storage yard, road access to the gate
was provided on the west side. Archaeological Site and Encroachment into
the Protected Area:
The noted archaeological site is related to the Okanagan Brigade Trail, in
particular a cattle corral. The site is located approximately 400 metres down
slope from the storage yard. The Brigade Trail was very close to Westside Road
at La Casa. There are no anticipated impacts on known archaeological sites. The
storage yard has been shown to be located within the existing long term lease
and does not encroach into the Protected Area. A small area has been cleared
beyond the fence that has started to regenerate. Any encroachment and
landscaping that may be required can be addressed as part of the required
Development Permit for the proposed development. Further to the posting of
Notice of Application sign on the property and Public Hearing notification
process, there has been no correspondence
received from neighbouring property owners.
Should the Board terminate
the Public Hearing and grant further readings to the amending bylaws, the
Development Services Department will identify in a subsequent report conditions
that must be addressed prior to consideration of fourth and final readings.
Respectfully submitted,
Margaret Bakelaar
Environmental/Land Use Planner
Dan Plamondon, Director of Development Services

CORD board considers pool
Vernon Morning Star - By Richard Rolke - January
29, 2011
Residents of a North Westside Road neighbourhood may eventually have
a place to cool off in the summer.
The Central Okanagan Regional District board has given first reading
to proposed official community plan and rezoning bylaws for the La
Casa strata to allow for an outdoor swimming pool.
“The next step is for La Casa to set up an advertised public
hearing,” said director Jim Edgson.
“After that, it will need to come back for the second and third
readings, at which time the board will receive information on the
progress of meeting the conditions.”
The applicant must address several issues including verification of
an adequate water supply and details on how pool drainage will be
handled.
“Once these are met, the request for zoning change can then go to
fourth and final reading,” said Edgson.
“As it stands, it appears there should be no problem in meeting the
conditions, but the province is involved as well.”
Besides the pool, the strata is also seeking approval for a workshop
and recognition of an existing outdoor storage yard on the
1.47-hectare parcel next to Terazona Drive.
Edgson wants residents to understand the process that is underway
and that the board has not authorized development.
“I have no problem with this and support the
process as it currently stands. Now we will see what public input
has to say.” |
CORD board gives first nod to pool plan
Kelowna Capital News - January 28, 2011
The regional board has given first reading to proposed Official
Community Plan and rezoning bylaws for the strata at La Casa
Lakeside Resort.
The application is being made to allow development of an outdoor
swimming pool, a workshop and recognize an existing outdoor storage
yard on a 1.47-hectare parcel adjacent to Terazona Drive that is
included in a 30-year Crown lease.
A public hearing on the application will be scheduled and advertised
once the applicant addresses several issues including verification
of an adequate water supply for the proposed uses and details on how
drainage will be handled from the swimming pool. |
La Casa LAKESIDE Resort wants another Pool?? Didn't people
buy at La Casa to enjoy Okanagan Lake or a pool? If the property owners
wanted a pool, why did they choose lakeside? And isn't one pool enough?
For the Okanagan that is so low on water, that
conservation measures are taken into consideration, like the Regional District
of Central Okanagan placing water meters in all North Westside Road homes, and
placing sprinkling restrictions on people, and
to top it off, the recommendations in Stantec's report about La Casa when it was
first built,
that La Casa use low flow toilets and plumbing fixtures due to La Casa
initially being built for summer recreation and not full-time occupancy, do you
think La Casa should build a second pool?

January 24, 2011 Regional District of Central Okanagan Regular
Board Meeting Minutes Bylaws: (First Reading) (Unweighted
Vote) 9.7i) Rural Westside Official Community Plan Amendment
Bylaw No. 1274-01 for The Owners of Strata Plan KAS2428
(applicant) to amend the land use designation from Parks and
Recreations to Commercial Resort (Z10/03) Central Okanagan West
Electoral Area (All Directors) Staff report dated January 9,
2011 outlined the OCP Amendment Bylaw to amend the land use
designation from Parks and Recreation to Commercial Resort and
to extend the existing Development Permit Area to regulate the
siting, form, character and landscaping of Resort Commercial
Areas to the subject site. Staff reviewed the rationale for
the amendment including:
• The proposed OCP and zoning amendment would incorporate lands
currently being used as part of La Casa Lakeside Resort;
• The Crown Land parcel is subject to a long term 30-year lease
with the Province which permits commercial resort uses;
• The outdoor storage area is existing and fenced;
• A site specific rezoning will restrict the uses to those
specifically requested as part of the OCP and rezoning
application;
• A Development Permit will be required prior to any development
occurring and can address siting, design, landscaping, and
servicing issues;
• The Ministry of Environment is supportive of the proponents
effort to prevent activities occurring on their property from
encroaching into the Fintry Protected Area;
• Westbank First Nation is in support of the amendments required
in order for the applicant to utilize their lease for commercial
resort purposes and to fulfil development commitments made to
owners of La Casa Lakeside Resort.
Staff reviewed the agency
referrals, as well highlighted the location for the pool and
storage/workshop. It was noted that a development permit will be
required should zoning be approved. Site specific zoning would
clearly outline uses allowed on the parcel. The question was
raised where the archaeological site is located and whether
there will be any impact to this area, and whether there is any
mechanism in place to protect encroachment into the Fintry
protected area? This will be responded to at the time of Public
Hearing. EDGSON/SHEPHERD
THAT Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 1274-01 be
given first reading this 24th day of January 2011;

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
Citation:
Azura Management (Kelowna) Corp. v. Owners of the Strata Plan
KAS2428,
2009 BCSC 506
Date: 20090422
Docket: S087958
Registry: Vancouver
Between:
Azura Management (Kelowna) Corp.
Petitioner
And:
The Owners, Strata Plan KAS 2428,
Curtis Darmohray and David Osmond
-----------------------------------------
*these are just snippets, please click link
above for full contents of this case
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
that s. 128(1)(c) of the Act is to be interpreted to mean (a)
that the
strata
lots for “tourist cabins” are residential, (b) that
strata lots 488, 491, 494 and 495 are non-residential, and (c) that
each of the residential and non-residential groups of strata lots
must vote 3/4 in favour of a bylaw amendment in order for a
resolution to take effect.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BACKGROUND
[3] The Corporation comprises 500 bare lot strata lots located in
Kelowna in a development called LaCasa Lakeside Village Resort (“LaCasa”).
The Petitioner, Azura Management (Kelowna) Corp.
(“Azura”) is the registered owner of 15 strata lots. LaCasa
Management Corp. (“LCMC”) is affiliated with Azura.
LCMC manages 108 strata lots for Owners
as well as the investment of Azura within the complex.
The
Developer, 697133 B.C. Ltd. (“Developer”) owns 40 strata lots.
The Respondents, Curtis Darmohray and David Osmond, at all material
times have been and presently remain members of the Council. Mr.
Darmohray was the President of the Council for the fiscal year
2007-2008. Mr. Osmond was the President and Vice-President of the
Council respectively in the fiscal years 2006-2007 and 2007-2008.
The property manager for LaCasa is Gateway Property Management
(“Gateway”).
[4] The initial developer of LaCasa was C.H. Golf Ltd. In the Spring
of 2004, C.H. Golf Ltd. entered into an agreement with
Azura to
sell 465 strata lots to Azura, together with the shares of
LaCasa Utilities Ltd.. At that
point, Azura assumed management of the Corporation. In July, 2004,
the Developer entered into an agreement with Azura to purchase 213
strata lots, with an option to purchase a further 238 strata lots.
In September, 2005, the Developer exercised its option and completed
the purchase of all strata lots. At that time, representatives of
Azura resigned from the Council and representatives of the
Developer, including John Murphy, were elected to Council.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
26] The Respondents submit that the requisite authority was
obtained at the March 6, 2006 Special General Meeting (“March 2006
SGM”). Prior to the March 2006, SGM, the Information Package
forwarded to Owners set out the following:
¾ Vote Resolution E – Financing for Bond Replacement – Sewer and
Water Treatment Plants
LaCasa’s Sewer Treatment Plant and Water Treatment Plant are
regulated by the Ministry of Water, Lands and Air Protection who
have set a bond requirement of the operator. The current owner is
LaCasa Utilities Ltd. who has posted cash bonds for the operation of
the Sewer and Water Treatment Plants. The Corporation has secured
financing for the equivalent amount of pledged bond and the
intention is to replace the funds posted by LaCasa Utilities Ltd.
Once completed, the Corporation will be
granted title to Strata Lot 495 as well as the Sewer and Water
Treatment Plans.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[39] While Azura is correct in submitting that s. 61(1)(b) of the
Act does not authorize a notice to be sent by email transmission, it
should be noted that s. 61(1)(b) of the Act only applies where an
owner has not provided an address outside the strata plan for
receiving notices. The provision of an email address is an
acceptable way for an owner to provide the Corporation with an
address outside the strata plan. If an owner has provided an email
address, I am satisfied that the forwarding of a notice by email
transmission to that “address” is sufficient “mailing” to satisfy
the notice requirements set out in s. 61(1)(a)(ii) of the Act. Even
if an email address has not been provided, I am satisfied that
forwarding communication to the known email address of an owner is
satisfactory to meet the requirements of s. 61(1)(b) of the Act.
I am satisfied that the wording of s. 61(1)(b)(i) is broad enough to
include the forwarding of an email transmission to qualify as a
“leaving” of a notice with an owner.
[40] Having reached that conclusion, the legislation could be
expanded to allow email transmissions to qualify where it is
necessary for a corporation to provide notice. First, the
considerable expense of providing notice in writing could be avoided
if an owner is content to receive notices by email transmission.
Second, notification by email transmission provides an instant
notification, thus avoiding the delay associated with other forms of
delivery.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specifically, oppressive conduct has been interpreted to mean
conduct that is burdensome, harsh, wrongful, lacking in probity or
fair dealing, or has been done in bad faith. “Unfairly prejudicial”
conduct has been interpreted to mean conduct that is unjust and
inequitable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also take into consideration the comments of Huddart, J. in
Cook, supra, that the democratic government
of the strata community should not be overridden by the Court except
where absolutely necessary.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, LCMC makes the point that Strata is proposing a
46% increase in our Strata fees,
and that this shouldn’t occur until our books are in order.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(j) Amendments to the Bylaws (Residential v. Nonresidential)
[74] Section 1 of the Act defines
“residential strata lot” as meaning a strata lot “… designed or
intended to be used primarily as a residence” and “bare
land strata plan” as meaning: (a) a strata plan on which the
boundaries of the strata lots are defined on a horizontal plane by
reference to survey markers and not by reference to the floors,
walls or ceilings of a building, or (b) any other strata plan
defined by regulation to be a bare land strata plan”.
[75] Section 128 of the Act provides that amendments to the bylaws
of a strata corporation must be approved at an annual general
meeting or a special general meeting as follows: (a) in the case of

Investigative Aggregate Application
The Regional Board does not support a
referral application from Front Counter BC that would allow test
drilling to determine whether it’s feasible to develop a sand and
gravel quarry on Crown Lands in the northern section of
the Central Okanagan West Electoral Area. Westbank First Nation and
Canadian Aggregates Incorporated have applied for the investigatory
permit for up to two years on 41-hectares off Westside Road and
south of La Casa Lakeside Resort. The Regional Board and other
agencies are concerned about the environmental impact such an
operation would have on the unique features in the area and would
like these issues reconciled before any further consideration is
given to the application. The Regional Board also believes it’s
premature to consider such an application until the environmental
review is completed for the North Westside Official Community Plan. |

Strata investments can get condo owners in trouble
By Kathy Michaels - Kelowna Capital News -
Published: November 18, 2008
Condo dwellers need to be
wary of how their strata council deals with their money, warns an
expert on the subject following news that one Okanagan-based complex
owner lost tens of thousands of dollars.
Tony Gioventu, executive director of the Condominium Home Owners
Association, writes a weekly column for a province-wide paper, and
was informed that an Okanagan
condominium building had lost about
$50,000 out of a strata contingency fund through high risk
investments that went sour in recent months.
Although he’s not at liberty to disclose who the group is, he did
say they are working through the problem.
“Nobody appears to be wanting to take them to court and recoup the
losses on it and I think they are going to get through the worst of
it, but they have lost a significant amount of money,” he said.
“Everyone agreed, it was a stupid decision nobody really knew about
it…we are just going to bite the bullet and deal with it.”
While the loss won’t end in litigation, Gioventu said it does
present a lesson for anyone who owns a condominium unit.
“Strata corporations need to be vigilant about how their money is
invested and ensuring that the information is reported to the
ownership on a regular basis,” he explained.
Funds that the strata sits on can reach into millions of dollars,
and the money is put aside for anything from upgrading roofs, to
replacing sewage and water treatment systems—the latter being
something he said a number of Okanagan condos are likely to need
their funds for in the future.
If the money is not there when it’s needed, the deficit will hit
condo owners in their pocket books.
Technically, strata corporations are able to invest funds—though
there’s legislation that puts restrictions on the extent of those
investments allowed—and government bonds, GICs and savings accounts
are the preferred vehicles.
Putting money into something that’s volatile is generally not
permissible and most don’t stray into that territory.
Gioventu recommends that stratas take out insurance policies on any
investments made.
“Whether you are self managed or you have a management company that
is managing your assets, there’s limitations on insurance coverage,
so make sure everything is legitimate,” he said.

Policing ALR land use abuses
Kelowna Capital News - By Judie Steeves -
Published: March 19, 2009
There were 14 complaints dealt with in the Okanagan by the
Agricultural Land Commission’s compliance and enforcement section
last year, ranging from illegal dumping to illegal storage.
Two uniformed officers were appointed a couple of years ago to
ensure land in the Agricultural Land Reserve is not used
inappropriately, explains Colin Fry, executive director of the ALC.
Although the act always had a compliance and enforcement function,
it was bolstered in 2002 by new legislation increasing the penalties
for illegal use of ALR land, he said.
Prior to that, enforcement involved taking those in non-compliance
to court.
The objective is to preserve agricultural land from such issues as
the growing problem of illegal fill being dumped on it, including
concrete, construction debris and garbage, he said.
Dumping fill was a rampant problem in the Fraser Valley, noted Fry.
There were 69 files on the South Coast last year, compared to 18 on
Vancouver Island, 11 in the Kootenays and four in the North.
Most of the problems involved the owners of agricultural land, not
farmers, said Fry.
“Farmers are the least likely to do anything that would be
deleterious to the land,” he said.
Investigations are complaint-based, he said. They receive around 300
to 400 complaints a year, and if an investigation reveals a
contravention of the ALR legislation, the officers focus on working
with the landowner to stop the activity.
“We don’t automatically enforce. First, we try to get the
co-operation of landowners. When people become aware, we get a high
degree of compliance. We’re resolving issues. Often it’s because
there’s a lack of awareness about the law,” said Fry.
He admitted at other times some landowners are blatantly
disregarding the law.
“They buy ALR land to use for illegal purposes.”
Penalties for non-compliance can range up to $100,000 for a first
occurrence, but that doubles for repeat occurrences.
In the Okanagan, last year’s files involved filling-in, auto
wrecking, multiple dwellings, construction debris and a campground.
That resulted in four stop work orders, four advisory letters and
three applications being submitted to the ALC.
“Some are easy to resolve and others can be more complicated,” Fry
said.
Other contraventions have involved landowners using ALR land for
boat or RV storage on a commercial basis; a skateboard park; lumber
storage; metal salvage; storage of equipment or transport trucks or
for concrete waste.
The officers work closely with local government, as well as with
government ministries to ensure the preservation of ALR land.
There is a total of 4.7 million hectares of ALR land in B.C.

Item 6.3a Development Variance Permit VP-06-19 Azura |
Development Services Department Report for the Regional Board
August 20, 2007
Item 6.3a Development Variance Permit VP-06-19 (Azura Management
Corportations, Agent - Ewen Stewart)
(from page 3)
Planning Staff Comments:
Notifications to neighbouring property owners have been mailed and a
sign has been posted in accordance with Regional District
requirements. To date, the Planning Services Department has received
four letters of objection as a result of public
notification. Those letters are attached for your consideration.
The retaining walls were constructed without issuance of the
appropriate permits and the applicant was made aware at the time of
the need to obtain permits. The applicant was made aware of this in
January of 2007.
Should the Regional Board issue the variance for the retaining wall
height, those other permits would still need to be obtained.
In order to ensure that the subdivision is not completed prior to
the issuance of all building permits necessary for important
structural stability on the lots, the subdivision approving officer
will be informed that there are outstanding building permit items
related to retaining walls that have structural significance. The
approving officer will be requested to not approve the subdivision
until the building permit for the retaining walls has been
appropriately issued.
Staff notes that the 6 cabins are already constructed and the
retaining walls are necessary for their structural soundness. |
Planning Services Department Report For the Board September
12th, 2005
SUBJECT: Land & Water BC Inc. Referral Application –
Crown Grant to purchase existing road and utility corridor
(Our File: CL-05-05) (Reference File: 3402164)
LOCATION: The subject lands are located at the southern boundary of
the La Casa strata development south of Fintry Provincial Park on
Westside Road
LEGAL: DL 5266 together with Blocks B & C of DL 3542, ODYD
PURPOSE:
To consider a Land Referral application from Land and Water B.C.
Inc. requesting approval of a Crown Grant in perpetuity to allow
ownership and to control portions of the existing road and utility
corridor used by the strata development (more commonly known as “La
Casa”; formerly Ridgeview RV Park). |
Regular Board Minutes – December 13, 2004 (Pg. 4-6)
6. PLANNING DEPARTMENT
6.1 Development Permits (Unweighted Vote)
a) Application for a Development Permit for Azura Management Corp.
(owner) and Rositch Hemphill & Associates Architects (agent) located
adjacent to Westside Road. (DP-04-15) Westside Electoral Area
(Electoral Areas and Kelowna Fringe Area)
Staff reviewed the background information and rationale for the
development and noted that in addition three variances are required
to the C5 zone.
The Board questioned:
- Whether the 100 square meters of floor space is gross floor space
or space per floor?
- Has there been a transportation impact assessment? As a condition
of the former owner, the Ministry of Transportation required road
widening and upgrades adjacent to the development and this has been
completed.
- The development is bare land strata lots.
- Seasonal use only. Zoning requirement for occupancy is no more
than one month at a given time by the same person
- What is the difference in the number of units from the original RV
park. The applicant noted there are less lots with more parkland.
There will be no RV lots in the development although the existing
owners will be allowed a maximum of 10 years to develop their
property.
- Will there be commercial development on the site? The current
zoning allows for commercial and this is currently in place.
Bryce Rositch, architect for the development addressed the Board:
- Cottages range in size up to 100 square meters, not per floor (893
to 1070 sq ft total square feet per cottage)
- Reduction of 32 lots from current RV lots. More green space is
being proposed.
- 29 existing owners are all in support of the application. They
have 10 years to build on their site.
- The existing swimming pool, tennis courts, beach front properties,
water park, mini-golf, recreational opportunities will be enhanced.
- 7 different cottage designs, two different elevation
- Fire resistant materials being used around the site
Board Questions
-Is there sufficient water in the current system to maintain the
indigenous plants species that will be planted? Plans currently
utilize the same water policy. Primarily non-grassed area throughout
the development.
-What is the overall timeframe to complete each phase? 100 cottages
to be constructed within the year and 100 each subsequent year.
- Is the current sewage system and water supply suitable for the
capacity? Stantec Consulting Ltd. has verified that both the
existing systems will adequately support the development at maximum
build-out, although they do recommend that
water conservation
measures such as low flush toilets and low flow plumbing fixtures be
utilized. Original owner worked directly with the Ministry of
Environment (20 acres septic field in place). The Regional District
was not required to sign off on the certificate. Under the Ministry
rules daily flows are monitored and reported directly to the
Ministry.
- Was there any public meetings? Notices as required were posted.
Public selling opportunities during the summer.
- Is there moorage at the marina? A 70-slip marina was constructed
and water licensed was previously approved.
- What commercial operation is there on site? A commercial store is
in operation (grocery store and owner’s lounge). Theatre facilities
and a restaurant are planned for the future.
- Under the C5 zone a building of 100 square meters is allowed. The
applicant reconfirmed that it is understood to be 100 square meters
of total living space and agrees to this.
- What is the definition of living space? In the C5 zone the wording
is 100 square meters of building area. Staff confirmed that in the
building code it’s the foot-print of the building, excludes decks
and garage space. Wording needs to be more clearly stated in the C5
zoning bylaw.
There were no further questions from the Board.
Chair Hobson asked if there was anyone in the public who deemed
their property to be affected by the development permit and
variances.
Jim Edgson, Killiney Beach resident, was enthusiastic about the care
and development the owner is taking and has not heard any negative
comments from neighbors.
#502/04 NOVAKOWSKI/KNOWLES

Some employees at the La Casa Cantina store were told not to worry too much about
catering to the residents of the surrounding area but to cater to the La Casa
strata of approx. 500 homes.
Some local residents from surrounding subdivisions are not happy that the LaCasa
Cantina store will not carry certain items.
LaCasa store is often out of things, so you can't rely on the store having what
you need at all times. We tried to get one bottle of water in the middle
of summer one year and they didn't have any water except a large 5 gallon water
jug. Other things that we have wanted to buy before but the store was sold
out were; milk, liquor, cigarette tubes, coffee filters, and the bread was
almost out of date when we bought it. Bread is delivered only once per
week.
326 gram of Nabob Coffee $7.99 and no coffee filters March 12, 2008.
For the winter of 2006 the
LaCasa Cantina store and restaurant closed,
then re-opened for the summer of 2007. It closed again for winter 2008 and
is now open for 2009.

In 2006 some local residents petitioned RDCO for smaller transfer station sites at each
subdivision instead of the one large transfer site 12 km's up the road for
some, but
instead LaCasa (Azura) offered to lease land for $1.00 to RDCO to site a new
transfer station at LaCasa for the surrounding subdivisions which for some subdivisions
was even farther to travel to. LaCasa didn't own the land yet, it was
crown land.
RDCO said in a
newspaper article that the transfer station would be open early 2007. RDCO stated in the local newsletter that the
LaCasa strata had paid the
lease for the land and they were waiting for the land title from the government.
The transfer station has yet to open November 2008 and
La Casa doesn't have title to the property as yet.
