ALR Exclusion Application - Paul Christie Report

At the evening Council meeting on 13th June much was made by Councillors of a "report" by Paul Christie, P. Ag. The "report" is a one page letter, and says four things:
The parcel is part of the Summerland ALR
The ALC has agreed to consider the exclusion of this parcel from the ALR
The parcel is a strongly sloping treed hillside with low agricultural capability (personally I would describe it as some parts steep, large parts gently sloping and some parts almost flat).
He supports excluding this parcel to help alleviate pressure on other ALR land

I spoke with Paul Christie today - a decent, straightforward guy. He confirmed that:

1. He was on the bus tour with Staff, Council and the ALC several weeks ago. They stopped to look up at Parcel 11 but did not drive onto the property.
2. He has never set foot on the property.
3. No test holes have been dug by his company. No soils tests or percolation tests have been done by his company.
4. He has not been hired by the Municipality to do any other work.

No further comment needed by me - but I would like to read yours!
