Concerns About Density Transfers and Water Supply in Bylaw Proposals

development · 2022 · Danes Road area, Denman Island

Concerns were raised about density transfers allowing smaller lot sizes than current zoning permits, potentially creating precedent for further bylaw exceptions. Additionally, water supply issues were noted for some receiver lots on Danes Road, where wells were deep and salty or shallow dug wells with uncertain sustainability, raising environmental and future resident concerns.

• “By adding three new densities to those two lots, they will only be validated if three new wells are provided, unlikely to be drilled because of the other two failures... I worry that it will mess up the lives of future purchasers.” — The Islands Grapevine – June 16th, 2022 (June 16th, 2022)
