Name: Mary Gray on Oct 23, 2010Comments: On Savary Island, individual property owners can do pretty much anything they want on their land. I believe the only things we cannot do are have unseasonable fires and build our septic fields too close to our wells. But we can build on unique and fragile plants, we can cut trees that hold the fly-away sands in place, we can build beyond the carrying capacity of the water supply, we can burn plastic, we can destroy food sources and resting places for wildlife. We have the legal right, apparently, to do these things. We may be as ignorant and greedy and thoughtless as we wish. This legal right to indulge in dangerously unfettered free expression is the most highly held value of a significantly high number of us. Be- cause of free self-expression, Savary is not as beautiful as she once was, she's not as healthy as she once was, she may even fail to survive altogether because of this highly-held value. Because we've done so much damage already, we fear that any more development may be fatal. This is why DL 1375 is such a big concern. Mr. Sahlin may have the legal right conferred upon him to do as he pleases with his investment. He may not, in law, have any obligation to consider the needs of the rest of us or of the animals and elements that will be negatively affected by his development plans. If we cannot acquire the land from him or convince him to keep the land he owns undeveloped, the future of Savary may be bleak for us all. My hope is that a change of heart will come upon us all. My hope is that we will, as a group, start controlling our desires and be content that nature survive. My hope is that Mr. Sahlin will prove to be better than we have been. My hope is that he will freely forfeit his right to do the destructive Midas-minded things too many of us have also done to Savary in the past. In short, my hope is for the preservation of DL1375, a general increase in sustainable self-control in those of us Savary Islanders who can think and feel about others, and bylaws that will govern those who who can't.Flag

Name: Mitzi Jones on Oct 24, 2010Comments: Savary Island will not survive the splitting and dividing of DL1375, that land must be preserved and having it as a park is the greatest solution. Thanks be to SILT for all of their hard work to save our beautiful island.Flag

Name: Gwen Curry on Oct 24, 2010Comments: I have owned property on Savary Island for almost twenty years and cannot believe the shortsightedness of focussing on South Beach as a priority. DL1375 and its preservation is of far greater importance than limiting parties on an end of summer weekend. This is absurd. ASIC wakeup.Flag

Name: Wynn Woodward on Oct 25, 2010Comments: As a 60 year (transient ! )resident of Savary with family ties into the 1930's I am appalled by our treatment by the Powell River Regional district. Our taxes do probably more to support the district do to high property values on the front. Maybe we should stop paying our taxes as we get nothing for our money not even garbage pickup. As much as I don't like Aug. long weekend parties I would definitely prefer to save our Island from development. I know it would inconvenience the RCMP but they have nothing better to do.Flag

We certainly see the need at South Beach and the pressure could extend to this area too. Thanks for all the work on this. PaulineFlag
