We re not asking for a huge change to their approach, we re not asking for special favours here, we re basically asking for fairness, Player said Friday (Nov. 9).
There were several issues he had with the first major overhaul to Whistler s primary planning and land use document in nearly 20 years.
First, is the 100-metre riparian area regulation (RAR) that would surround the Alpha Creek Lands, the 77-acre site where the campus would be housed, were the document to be approved.
The current provincial guideline suggests an RAR of 30 metres.
According to the regulation, a qualified environmental expert would have to assess the impact any development would have on the surrounding wetland ecosystem and fish habitat before construction could begin, a requirement that immediately increases our costs by hundreds of thousands of dollars, said Player.
