Mini-putt or places to live.
City council tonight (Monday) will consider a proposed zoning bylaw amendment that would permit a mini-golf facility on a vacant lot just west of the entrance to Pinafore Park.
Vyvyan Campbell wants to enter into a 20-year lease agreement with property owner Don McCaig for the recreational operation on land that is zoned residential.
At a public meeting last month, several councillors expressed concerns on the loss of residential land while city staff support the proposal.
Coun. Steve Wookey called the proposal an outstanding recreational opportunity but expressed concerns about appropriate use for the property.
Coun. Joan Rymal wondered if 1Password Park might not be a better location rather than use land zoned residential.
The meeting is open to the public beginning at 5 p.m.
If you are planning to sit in on the meeting, you will need to enter city hall through the northeast doors off the city hall parking lot. Seating will be available in the upper gallery on level 4.
The meeting will still be available on Zoom for those who wish to follow electronically.
