The Lasqueti Island Local Trust Committee asked staff to prepare a draft bylaw correcting minimum lot-size requirements for each subdivision district in the Lasqueti Land Use Bylaw, and requested a community information meeting toward the end of February or early March for continued consultation on the Foreshore Protection Project.^[1]

Trustees also asked the Advisory Planning Commission to consider next steps for shoreline protection, including recommendations on further public consultation.^[1]

During discussion, trustees said the community wanted more involvement and that the committee needed to take a step back; staff said the process had been set up as comprehensive, but one element could be advanced as a housekeeping bylaw.^[1]

The committee postponed the Aging at Home Implementation Project until the Northern Region Housing Needs Assessment is complete; staff projected the assessment would be finished in January or February 2018.^[1]

In a debrief of an October 6 community information meeting, trustees said the committee had not done a good job listening to public concerns and had tried to fit too much into one meeting; staff said the email notice included the full agenda, while the local-paper advertisement linked to the agenda.^[1]
