Applicants for lot enlargements at Army Beach have been informed by LARC that they will be responsible for the cost of public signage to mark the public accesses to the beach on the public land between lots and the new lot extensions. They will also be responsible for rock used to shore up the land at the high water mark in front of properties and accesses, and may be responsible for stairs to the beach. Motion # 3. Motion by Helen Smith to write a letter to LARC asking for clarification on the request. Does YTG mean rip rap rock or large boulders. Since these accesses are for the public from Whitehorse as well as Marsh Lake, should YTG not be responsible for signage, or public stairs? Council does not see adjoining lots as being responsible for public services when Marsh Lake residents contribute tax dollars for such services. Second by Pam Blackburn. Vote: 4 in favour. Motion # 3 Carried. A copy of this letter will be forwarded to the new MLA for Southern Lakes. 5. Discussion of Lot Enlargement Application for Scheu and Willms, Lot 68, New Constabulary. This application includes an extension of land between the property and existing road plus a small section of land which has the septic field overlapping. Councillor for Ward 2 found 1 neighbour in support and 1 neighbour in opposition to this application. Motion # 4. Motion by Helen Smith to write an email letter to LARC stating that council has no opposition to this application. Council finds that this is a straight forward and reasonable request, but acknowledges that there is opposition by one neighbour. Second by Pam Blackburn. Vote: 4 in favour. Motion # 4 Carried. 6. Discussion of Bridgehead Reserve Application, Km 12, M'Clintock Valley Road. The bridgehead reserve application is for an area where the Mitchie Creek crosses the M'Clintock Valley Road. Here the road is undeveloped and only a trail. Although this application is outside the Marsh Lake Local Advisory Council's area, any development will effect the residents oalong the M'Clintock Valley Road. Residents have strong reservations about extending the developed road past trail's end, and are concerned about the impact development could have on the M'Clintock Valley community. Is there an intended development in the area and if so is it long term or immediate? Environmental concerns need to be addressed, such as water quality and the creek being a salmon spawning area. Motion # 5. Motion by Helen Smith to write a letter to Noreen Osbourne of Land Branch, Indian and Northern Development Canada, requesting more information. Council would like to have a definition for a bridgehead reserve. Is this reserve a part of land claims? Should this application proceed before the Marsh Lake Land Use Plan is completed? Second by Pam Blackburn. Vote:.4 in favour. Motion # 5 carried. A copy of this letter will be forwarded to Kwanlin Dun First Nation and to MLA Southern Lakes. 5.
