1.0 Overview

The purpose o this Local Area Plan is to rene the Electoral Area “F” Ocial

Community Plan with specic policies to the Kingsher Area. While the existing

Ocial Community Plan covers o many general polices or the Kingsher Area,

the Local Area plan process allows the Kingsher stakeholders to engage in a

consultative process that is specic to their area. The recommendations rom the

Local Area Plan will be presented to Regional District sta and Board members or

appropriate inclusion or modication o the existing Area “F” Ocial Community

Plan.

The Kingsher/Mabel Lake area is located 37 kilometres east o Enderby in

Electoral Area “F” o the Regional District o North Okanagan. Situated at themouth o the Shuswap River on Mabel Lake, the community is a collection o

ulltime, seasonal and recreational residences, commercial, and public properties

surrounded by rural and agricultural land uses. During the summer months the

character o the community alters dramatically with an infux o people taking

Kingsher Local Area Plan | Site360 / MMM Group Limited | November, 2010 | 302-0450

The need to develop a comprehensive plan or the area was identied in the 1996 and

2005 Ocial Community Plans to address the impacts o this growth. The 2005 OCP

states:

“The Regional Board recognizes that the sustainability o Recreation Commercial

development in Kingsher and other identied areas o the Plan, has absolute

limits dened by physical geography, environmental and social carrying

capacity as well as other aspects and it will seek to establish and address such

limits through a strategic local area plan which may introduce development

containment boundaries, transition and buer zones between the rural and

recreation resort areas o the community, local transportation plans, servicing

standards, and open space strategies. Environmentally sensitive areas and

important connectivity corridors must also be i dentied and protected.”

In November 2008 area residents again raised concerns about urther development

in the area and consistently requested that the local area plan be initiated On July

8th, 2009, the Regional Board passed a resolution approving a request or proposals

to prepare a local area plan based on a previously compiled drat terms o reerence.A ormal request or proposals was posted and closed November 13, 2009. Site360

Consulting Inc. was the recommended proponent and was ormally issued a contract

to prepare the local area plan in January 2010. In addition to the stated terms o

reerence, Site360 included with their work plan;

•A Community Vision or the plan area based on the results o stakeholder

consultation.

•A timerame or the plan – both or implementation o specic initiatives and or

the uture review o the plan in its entirety.

•An implementation matrix or all new initiatives or actions or existing

conditions, there will be a clear outline provided o what needs to be done and

by whom.

•Recommendations or urther study to compliment the outcome o the local area

plan.

•Recommended amendments to the Electoral Area “F” OCP beyond adopting the

local area plan as an appendix to the OCP.

2.1 Physical Description

The Kingsher Plan area has been dened as either side o the Shuswa

between “Halway Hill”, or the Shuswap River Islands Park, to the shoreto the outlet o Mabel Lake into the Shuswap River (See Figure [Plan Ou

There are limited private land holdings, mostly close to the north side o

Shuswap River, with crown lands occupying most o land above the vall

The western portion o the plan area is predominantly rural and agricult

Forage crops such as hay and alala and pasture land or livestock dom

agricultural uses while the remaining rural lands remain mostly in ores

o the area consists o larger land holdings with some rural residential p

existing closer to the river.

The eastern border o the plan area is Mabel Lake. The lakeshore has b

developed as two distinct areas separated by the Shuswap River. The n

is accessed by the Enderby Mabel Lake Road and consists o Mabel Rid

Mabel Lake Resort and its ancillary developments, the airstrip, river mo

marina, and a handul o private lakeshore cabin lots. Slightly urther athe lake is the closed Kingsher school and the Kingsher Hall that is s

actively used in the community.

North o Mabel Ridge Estates, there is very l ittle private land on the lake

within the plan area.

The west side consists o cabin/seasonal residential lots and the church

(Camp McKenzie). There is no public road access to the west side altho

is a rough road route that would be passable in an emergency back thro

Hidden Lake area. This road crosses through private lands and is not av

or public use. Regular access is provided by private boats to individua

docks. Although there are dedicated roads on the west side, there are v

regular vehicles there. There are a ew ATV’s and some construction eq

that likely never leaves the west side. The west side does have hydro a

telephone service across the Shuswap River.

This limited access makes the pontoon boat the watercrat o choice am

west side property owners. There is at least one pontoon boat that serv

water taxi and garbage collection service.

2.2 Census Data

The 2001 Canada Statistics Census (as reported through BC Stats) indicated that

there were 195 residents within the Kingsher census area who indicated it wasthere principal residence. This was a drop rom 1996 when there was a reported

population o 226. The 2001 reporting population was pretty evenly split with

51% male and 49% emale. Some other summary data rom the 2006 census:

•170 o the 195 were over the age o 15years old, 30 were over 65 years old.

•100% o the respondents owned their own dwelling which had an average

value o $167,252.

•O the reported population, there were none listed as aboriginal, none

listed as visible minorities, 27% listed as immigrants and o those

immigrants, almost 65% o those were born in Germany.

•The top two occupations by population were Educational Services; and,

Proessional, Scientic and Technical Services. These two categories

covered all o the ull time work orce. There were 60 people listed within

the labour orce with 100% o them listed as employed.

Unortunately, BC Stats has not published detailed updates o the 2006 Census

but the population count rose to 238.

3.1 Rural/Agricultural

The policies listed within Division IV o the OCP generally ollow the pol

objectives o the Agricultural Land Commission Act. In summary, non-a

development o viable agricultural lands is strongly discouraged. Furth

seek to limit or control non-agricultural development on non-ALR lands

to minimise impacts to ALR lands. These policies are typical o any OCP

3.2 Parks, Trails and Open Space

The OCP identies three general levels o park space; user-oriented are

intermediate areas, and resource-based areas. The OCP also noted thapublic input indicated a need or more user-oriented park space within

Kingsher community. Specically, it was suggested that a community

active use (multi-use ball eld) was needed as well as improvement to t

access or swimming and marine activities (primarily boating).

Intermediate parks are generalised as day use parks generally within a

drive rom home. Intermediate parks or the Kingsher residents would

typically be outside o the plan area. However, given the proximity to E

many o the user-oriented parks within the plan area are used as interm

area parks by residents rom outside o the plan area. This aspect sugg

a higher ratio o user-oriented parks is warranted within the Kingsher

that the permanent population would normally justiy.

The Kingsher plan area also has two Class A Provincial Parks; Skookum

Rapids and Shuswap River Islands provincial parks are the resourced ba

within the plan area. There is also access to signicant crown land and

campsites through the Kingsher plan area that are used in both summ

winter (i.e. Hunter’s Range, Noisy Creek, Mount Grien).

The reality is that many agricultural areas are ound in river valleys, adjacent to

wetlands and lakes, and generally in areas where they have a potential infuence

on drainage courses and ground water. Indeed, many agricultural activities

require drainage works to ensure the land is suitable or particular armingactivities. The Kingsher area is typical in this regard in that most o the ALR

lands and agricultural activities take place in close proximity to the Shuswap River

and its associated tributaries and wetlands.

The 2004 OCP acknowledged that the specic encing and buering policies

listed in division XI.B o the plan (Development Permit Areas or the protection

o the natural environment) were not endorsed by the Ministry o Agriculture and

listed specic actions or exemptions and uture considerations. It should also

be acknowledged that RAR does not apply to agricultural activities. However, that

exemption does not exempt agricultural activities rom potential oences under

the Fisheries Act and DFO.

These are complicated issues that involve several levels o local, provincial and

ederal governments. The local area plan should promote a common vision orboth agriculture and the protection o the environment. It should also provide

land owners with simple guidelines to ollow in order to ensure that the activities

they pursue within their own private lands are consistent with regulations and the

vision o the community.

Detailed studies are currently underway or the Shuswap River and Mabel Lake

that will create specic mapping, inventory o habitat and quantitative indexing

or sensitive habitat areas. The result o these studies will provide the regulatory

bodies a clear ramework to manage the environmental assets within the plan

area. The goal should be to use these studies to also clearly explain new policies

and regulations or agricultural activities that not only abide by the various levels

o governmental jurisdiction but also strive to meet the vision and objectives o

the community.

It should be noted that there has been little in the way o trail development in

the Kingsher area. There is a small network o trails that has been developed

by Mabel Lake Resort that generally provide linkages rom the River mouth boat

launch and marina back towards the gol course. This leaves most pedestriansto travel on the gravel shoulders o the public roads. During peak times when

parking is at a premium, the pedestrians are let to walk on the roadway. The

trail is in varying states o improvement and maintenance.

The Kingsher area has long been recognised as a popular area or outdoor

recreation. The Mable Lake Resort has a long history, dating back to 1928,

indicating the early acknowledgement that the area provided outdoor experience

worthy o tourist travel. The experiences available in the natural surroundings,

including the lake, river and mountains surrounding the plan area continue to

draw seasonal residents and tourists to the area.

The lake rontage within the plan is the main access point to Mabel Lake. Other

access is available through crown land and rom the south end o the lake,

but these accesses are more rugged and there are no other communities as

developed as Kingsher on the lake. This makes Kingsher a very busy place at

peak times, particularly during the summer and puts a strain on the most popular

user-oriented park spaces.

It appears that no signicant initiatives have been implemented to add

needs identied by the 2004 OCP specic to the Kingsher area. There

undeveloped park resources in the area and other potential park resour

can be targeted or uture public acquisition. The key piece o land is thland lot at the end o Parkway Road. RDNO (through Fortune Parks) is a

pursuing tenure or this parcel which would provide the opportunity to

needed o-lake acilities or parking. Other potential public uses could

accommodated on this site i it were correctly developed and managed.

The 2004 OCP lists the ollowing specic land resources that should be

or public use open space:

•Resourced based area at Skookumchuk Rapids (including the Cla

Provincial Park south o the rapids).

•The narrow strip o land between the Enderby Mabel Lake Road a

Shuswap River rom Lot 4, Plan 20671 west o the Cook Creek recr

area.

•“The Islands” in Shuswap River – now a Class A provincial park.

•District Lot 2423 on Mabel Lake – south o the west side develop

•Development o additional public accesses to the Shuswap River

launched recreational uses.

•Commitment to the development and enhancement o the Shusw

as a recreational corridor with suitable maintenance and manage

including river bank stabilisation where necessary to minimise er

problems.

•The remainder o District Lots 2415 and 5142 at the mouth o the S

River at Mabel Lake.

The Fortune Area Parks Master Plan is currently underway which will addparks needs within the Kingsher Area. However, there are specic iss

addressed at the local area plan level that are discussed in the Recomm

section o this plan.

The Kingfsher/Mabel Lake

area is located 37 kilometres

east o Enderby in Electoral

Area “F” o the Regional

District o North Okanagan.

A trail system was also initiated to ollow the outside boundary o the gol course rom Lusk Lake Road East back to the

clubhouse.

3.3 Transportation

The current OCP addresses the main transportation link to the Kingsherarea as the Enderby Mabel Lake Road. All roads within the plan area are the

responsibility o the Ministry o Transportation and Inrastructure (MoTI) and

as such, the RDNO can only act in an advisory role to MoTI with respect to road

issues. However, the OCP did acknowledge that improvements were warranted

on Enderby Mabel Lake Road regarding pedestrian and vehicular trac saety,

and drainage.

The RDNO commissioned trac counts or Enderby Mabel Lake Road during the

summer and early all o 2009 in advance o the local area plan process. While

the exercise indicated a denite increase in trac during the summer period

(July 28 through August 12) compared to the all period (September 9 through

September 24), the trac volumes are well within the parameters or a two lane

rural highway (using TAC guidelines).

For example, the peak hourly trac count occurred On August 1st between 1:00

PM and 2:00 PM and was 196 vehicles total in both directions. The maximum

capacity or a two lane rural highway at sustained speeds above 80 km/h is 920

vehicles per hour in both directions. This is a very generalised statement as

the capacity numbers would change through various sections due to geometry

and other actors that could infuence maximum capacity. However, at

maximum capacity under ideal conditions at the maximum peak hour, t

conclusion is that trac volume is not anywhere close to being a techn

constraint.

Despite the act that overall trac volumes on Enderby Mabel Lake Roa

within capacity or the engineered design o the road, there are still con

about pedestrian and cycle saety and the general condition o the road

Local roads within the plan area are airly limited. Most o them in the w

portion o the plan area are either short dead end roads to serve a ew r

or they are part o the Forestry Service road network. In the eastern po

plan area, there are a ew local network roads that serve to access Mab

Estates and some o the rural parcels such as Beatie Road. The OCP do

that Lusk Lake Road should be connected through to Lusk Lake Road Ea

connection is available by a dedicated road right o way but it has not b

structed to date due to grades and third party ownership issues. It wou

to provide linkage rom Mabel Ridge Estates and the resort area back toMable Lake Road by way o Beatie Road. Currently, the local road netwo

not provide any looping connectivity such that all trac must ollow the

route o Enderby Mabel Lake Road. Lusk Lake, Beatie, Kingsher and S

Roads are still gravelled suraced roads. All other local roads east o Ki

Creek are paved.

The OCP also identied that improvements were needed to the i ntersec

Enderby Mabel Lake Road and River mouth Drive and Beatie Road to im

geometric alignments and provision o parking.

The residential development within the Mabel Lake Resort has primarily

developed with private strata roads that generally have one point o acc

the public road systems. Thereore, they serve as access or the develo

within the resort only and do not provide or public vehicular connectiv

could be connectivity in an emergency situation along the east side o t

utilising private roads within the resort strata development.

a b e l L a k

In the absence o lands being released rom the ALR or urther development,

there are ew opportunities to improve alternate access to Enderby Mabel Lake

Road. However, there are improvements to be considered to enhance and

promote sae pedestrian and other non-motorised modes o travel. The oneoption that should be explored is the Forest Service Road to Three Valley Gap.

This is a long route but the road is reasonably good in summer conditions. I the

east end o Kingsher had to be evacuated, this would be a potential route out o

the valley.

3.4 Inrastructure

The predominantly rural nature o the plan area dictates that there is limited

community inrastructure available other than in the immediate area o the Mabel

Lake Resort. BC Hydro provides electricity and telephone service by way o land

lines. There is no reliable cellular phone service within the plan area.

The provision o water and sewage disposal is thereore limited to private on site

systems or each rural parcel. Water is typically provided by private wells or water

licenses rom surace sources. Sewage disposal is handled by private onsiteseptic systems. The OCP has used the lack o services as one o the primary

reasons to discourage urther development in the rural portions o the plan area

but deers regulatory approval or water and sewage disposal to the respective

divisions o the Ministry o Environment and Interior Health Authority.

The Mabel Lake portion o the plan area has been historically developed with

lakeront lots and the resort development. The development prior to 2000 was

acilitated by a similar approach to inrastructure as the rural areas – private

water and sewage disposal.

The community water system consists o a lake intake, two domestic pumps

and one re fow pump all operated and maintained by RDNO. The distribution

network ronts 317 residential properties that could be hooked into the system

but to date only 247 properties, plus one apartment site, one commercial gol course, one commercial RV Park and the campground are connected to the

system. The design o the water system is such that one o the domestic pumps

should provide enough capacity or all domestic requirements and the second is

or back-up to be used in the case o a malunction o the rst pump or routine

maintenance. Typically the pumps will be used in a rotation to extend the overall

liecycle o the pumps. The re fow pump is only intended to be used i

o an emergency when maximum fow is required or reghting purpos

Recent data rom the summer o 2010 indicate that peak demand fows

27% over capacity, meaning that the second domestic pump would hav

in operation or approximately 6 hours per day (during the peak event) t

demand fows. This indicates that the system is at or beyond design ca

or peak times o the year. The solution to provide more capacity would

install larger pumps and replace the lake intake with a larger diameter p

alternative is to implement demand management. This can be done by

educational programs to reduce consumption, water metering to provid

incentives to use less water, irrigation restrictions, etc.

As a condition o the gol course and related development at Mabel Lak

community sewer collection and disposal system was required to be i m

A Liquid Waste Management Plan was prepared in the late 1990’s and th

collection and disposal system was installed concurrently with the gol

the early 2000’s and subsequently turned over to RDNO. The scope o tWaste Management Plan was such that the system needed to be design

growth such that it could eventually accommodate service to Mabel Ridg

and the West Side cabins.

The current system is connected to approximately 101 homes that have

developed by the resort. There are no homes outside o the resort deve

that have been connected to the community system. The system is curr

designed to accept efuent into a community septic tank and then disp

efuent to ground through disposal eld. Individual homes are still req

have a septic tank to capture solids and only deliver efuent (i.e. liquid

to the collection and disposal system (STEP system). Based on fow mo

the summer peak use is estimated at approximately 23,000 US gallons

(87 cubic metres) which is well below the maximum limits o the Operat

Certicate issued by the Ministry o Environment o 250 cubic metres peo season usage o the system is estimated to be minimal as only home

the resort lands are currently connected.




s h e r / M

a b e l L a k

The system is designed to be easily expanded to serve all o the north side

development (Northside lakeront lots, Mabel Ridge Estates and the Mabel Lake

Resort controlled properties) and, with additional eorts, can also serve the west

side properties. At a certain threshold, secondary treatment o the efuent will

be required to preserve capacity in the eld areas. However, based on the data

presented in the Liquid Waste Management Plan, the sewer system seems to

be operating within the intended parameters. There should be enough capacity

within the existing system to provide sewer service to the extent o the original

service area included within the Liquid Waste Management Plan. Detailed

analysis by a proessional engineer would be required beore any ormal service

extension program is initiated.

Ground water sampling was originally conducted in 1996 during the rst stages

o the Liquid Waste Management Plan and it was ound that there were probable

impacts to ground water rom existing septic systems. Water sampling has been

conducted at dierent times since the original report and there are still results

that indicate ongoing impacts to ground water. Some o the water quality issues

can be attributed to natural occurrence but the pattern o increasing quality issuesas you move closer to the river mouth suggest that a good portion is related to

human impacts.

This is a reasonable outcome as none o the residential users closest to the lake

have been able to hook up to the community system. It is also a reasonable

expectation that these impacts will continue until such time as more o the

existing residences can hook into the community system. The Mabel Lake

Water system is tested every two weeks and has not recorded any water quality

concerns. This is likely due to the act that the intake is upstream o most o

the waterront developments and existing private septic systems. Many o the

waterront lots still derive their water directly rom the lake and thereore, water

quality issues in the shore zone area are a great concern or those private users.

3.5 Residential / Aordable Housing

The OCP makes a rm commitment that all new residential uses will be s

by community water and sewer. This leads to the act that no new resid

growth is likely within the Kingsher plan area unless it is tied i nto the

sewer and water system available in the vicinity o the resort. Based on

current OCP land use designations, there are additional lands to be dev

to accommodate residential units and there are also residential lots tha

already been created that are still vacant (i.e. no permanent residential

constructed). These opportunities are all within the vicinity o the reso

Ridge Estates or on the West Side.

Other opportunities or modest growth are ound in the rural areas with

plan in the orm o potential subdivision within the constraints o the Zo

regulations and the Agricultural Land Reserve. These would be develop

serviced with on-site water and onsite septic disposal systems.

Given the requirement that RDNO has set or services, the current ALR b

and the established development pattern, there is little opportunity to daddition lands or residential development. However, should ALR lands

released by the ALC that are generally north and west o the existing set

on the north shore, potential residential policies should be revisited.

also lands around Lusk Lake that are generally suitable or developmen

enough to service with water and sewer. Mabel Ridge Estates could be

to the north. However, there are no current applications or the release

lands. There is also the undamental question o whether residential gr

into these areas is consistent with the vision or the community. More d

analysis o residential growth potential is examined in the Recommend

Section.

The current OCP acknowledges that aordable housing strategies are d

to implement in rural areas. The Kingsher plan area is predominantly

and aordable options are most likely in the orm o manuactured or mhomes. The Zoning Bylaw makes provisions or accommodations on rur

predominantly to accommodate on arm workers. The ALC Act similarly

most additional residential accommodation within the ALR or bona de

labour.




s h e r / M

a b e l L a k

16


Within the Mabel Lake area o the plan, most o the older residential development

is situated on lots that are not currently serviced to accommodate secondary

suites. However, there would be some potential, particularly within Mabel Ridge

Estates to consider allowing secondary suites once sanitary sewer is available.Within the resort development, most o the residential development has been

created as second residences or vacation homes. These are not aordable

options. Similarly, any o the lots that are located in relative proximity to the lake

will be valued or their recreational amenities and would not all within aordable

denitions.

Future development potential in the Parkway Road area could create some

smaller multiple dwelling units that could be purpose built or rental to seasonal

employees in the orm o mixed use development. The need or permanent

aordable residential units is dicult to assess as most o the employment

generated by the commercial activities is seasonal. Until the community

establishes year round employment, it is dicult to justiy aordable housing

as a community need beyond what is currently possible within the rural context.

The reality is that beyond the seasonal labour needs, individuals make aliestyle choice to locate within the plan area, not necessarily a choice based on

economics.

3.6 Commercial / Resort / Resource

The OCP identies limited potential or commercial land uses within the Kingsher

Plan area. A potential opportunity exists or the two lots at the intersection o

Parkway Road and Enderby Mabel Lake Road with the emphasis on a community

commercial establishment.

The resort lands are rezoned or development and have been generally subdivided

into all intended lots . It is not anticipated that additional land development will

occur within the current resort boundaries although there are several vacant

lots that have not been built on. The resort cabins on the lakeshore, although

they are old, have been maintained and updated to continue their seasonal use.It is unlikely that these cabins could be re-developed due to their proximity to

Mabel Lake and current environmental restrictions. Similarly, the store, which

also serves as administration or the holiday park, is old but well maintained. It

is unlikely that redevelopment o these acilities would result in any increase in

development density due to current environmental regulations.

Without new lands being released rom the ALR, no signicant expansio

resort boundaries is possible. The main area where development poten

is north o Parkway Road and it has been identied or residential deve

with some uture park needs. There are also two vacant lots south o PaRoad that have been designated and zoned or general commercial use

Resources in the area generally reer to orestry and mineral (including

deposits. The OCP identied that the areas with the least limitation to

o orestry activities are located south o the river and west o the lakes

generally behind the west side cabins. The area north o the river and b

Kingsher Creek and Mabel Lake is indicated as the next best potential

orestry growth (there are recently active blocks located north o the kin

community).

Generally, the plan area is categorised as having no signicant mineral

but is identied as a avourable geological environment. There are a ew

locations or aggregate reserves and given the nature o the river valley

localised borrow pits, it is expected that small aggregate deposits could

throughout the plan area.

I any signicant resource development occurs, consideration should be

access and inrastructure required or the resource development in term

it may benet the plan area in the long term, even ater the resource ha

depleted.

3.7 Heritage

The current OCP acknowledges the potential to designate heritage sites and

to appoint a Heritage Commission. Neither has occurred since the OCP was

prepared. However, the Enderby and District Heritage Commission serve as a

review committee or any heritage issues within Electoral Area “F”. The OCP

acknowledges that there have been public calls or the Shuswap River to be

named a heritage river. The OCP also recognises that there are several identied

archaeological sites along the river.

The Enderby and District Heritage Commission encourages any land owner who

wishes to consider heritage designation to contact them. Furthermore, that

the Splatsin First Nations be consulted regarding the location o archaeological

sites, particularly along the river and they would be involved in any discussion

regarding the designation o the Shuswap River as a Heritage River.

A list o potential sites, buildings and houses has been provided by the Heritage

Commission and is listed in the Appendix A.

3.8 Environment

The current OCP does not address the broad environment in a specic section.

Rather it identies Special Areas and policies to address these areas over time.

Specic to the Kingsher area, the current OCP identies;

•Skookumchuk Rapids

•Waterall in Fall Creek

•The Islands

•Salmon Enhancement Project

•The Shuswap River Watershed

•

Various Heritage Buildings and Sites

The OCP identies policies to protect these eatures and to recognise them as

signicant public assets to the area. The OCP urther explains that Development

residential lots in Mabel Ridge Estates and on the west side, with the remaining

units located in the rural areas on Country Residential, Non-Urban, Small Holdingsand Large Holdings zoned properties.

There are parcels that are currently zoned NU (Non-Urban) within the plan area

that are supported by the OCP or rezoning to more intensive uses. These lands

are primarily ound in the vicinity o Parkway Road and Enderby Mabel Lake

Road in the vicinity o the resort. The uture land use designation is shown as

residential and includes lands north o Parkway Road and a small portion o land

between the gol course and Enderby Mabel Lake Road.

The one other area where the uture land use designation supports rezoning is

north o Lusk Lake along Beatie Road in the vicinity o Stoney Road. The change

supported in the OCP would be rom NU to CU (Country Urban) residential which

would allow 2 Ha (5 acre) lots to be created on the west side o Beatie Road.

In order to create more potential development lands within the plan area, therewould have to be a shit in policy by RDNO to promote more SH (Small Holdings)

opportunities in rural areas, not in the ALR. This would require a policy shit rom

discouraging urther development o semi-residential lands without the benet o

community sewer and water.

Another way to create more potential development lands in the uture is to

promote the exclusion o ALR lands in proximity to the north side developments

where logical and easible extensions to community water and sewer are

available. The nal option would be to consider a large scale expansion o the

Kingsher community to the north and east o Mabel Ridge Estates where the

terrain is challenging but manageable and the lands are not in the ALR. These

options will be examined urther in the Recommendations section.

4.1 Public Meetings

Site360 and RDNO have hosted our public meetings at the Kingsher H

rst meeting was held on May 12th between 4:00 and 8:00 PM. This m

was intended to introduce the stakeholders to the process and the consEncouragement was provided or the public to use email as the preerre

o contact but ax numbers and mailing addresses were also provided.

evening was well attended with 98 individuals signed in and an additio

people who did not sign in or an estimated total attendance o 125.

Comment sheets were provided or participants to ll out and leave beh

or send in to either Site360 or RDNO at a later date. The consultants m

presentation ollowed by a participatory discussion o the issues that w

brought up by audience members. These issues were recorded on fip c

The second meeting was held on June 16th at the same venue between

8:00 PM. For this meeting, the consultant compiled a summary o the is

had been identied by the public through various correspondence and

them on ten display boards. The consultants reviewed the summary iss

the audience and engaged in some discussion on each issue. Some cla

and sub-headings were added to the display boards and then each part

was provided ve coloured dot stickers. It was explained that this was n

but it was a method or the participants in attendance to signal to the c

what the priority issues were. Forty-two individuals signed in to the me

53 people participated in placing the stickers. Total estimated attendan

approximately 60 people.

A third and a ourth public meeting was held on August 4th with an ate

session rom 1:00 to 3:00 PM and an evening session rom 6:00 to 8:00

The ormat or these meetings was similar to the second public meeting

intent or these meetings was to capture seasonal residents who were n

to attend previous meetings. The consultant reviewed the issues prese

the display boards and engaged the attendees in a group discussion ab

issues. Furthermore, a blank fipchart was provided or attendees to wr

their ideas or vision statements or the plan area. Signed in attendanc

aternoon session was 73 and 54 or the evening session. While there w

necessarily any signicant new issues brought up, earlier themes were

and participation by the audience in the discussion period was general

thorough.

4.2 Written Correspondence

Throughout the process to date, stakeholders have been encouraged to send

comments to the consultant by email, regular mail or ax. All correspondence

has been retained and provided to RDNO. An issues identication paper was

prepared ollowing the second public meeting which summarized the issues and

their weighted response based on the individual submissions and then again on

the eedback during the public meetings.

To date, Site360 is in receipt o the ollowing;

A orm letter campaign was also initiated by the owners/developers o the resort.

The orm letter asked petitioners to sign in support o a general statement;

“That the Mabel Lake Community should be allowed to grow as a ‘Resort

Community’ as envisioned by the Regional District with the approval o the

gol course in 2001.”

The orm letter also included nine specic issues that were promoted as the ocus

o the new planning program (Local Area Plan):

•Expansion o sewer and water services to all property owners who request

these improvements.

•Develop local environmental policies or the oreshore o Mabel Lake

(Riparian Area Policies).

•Obtain ownership and expand the upper river mouth parking lot area.

•Develop a long range trail network system.

•Open some existing public access points to Dolly Varden Beach.

•Develop policies or the proposed commercial hub near the gol courseclubhouse.

•Conrm that Mabel Lake is a “resort community” and provide long range

land use policy strategy.

•Develop a tourism policy or the whole area rom Shuswap Falls t

Lake.

•Open new land to encourage new commercial and recreational

opportunities or Mabel Lake.

The orm letter was signed by a total o 540 individuals: 351 who are cat

as resident/property owners east o and including Club Kingsher RV R

189 who are categorized as guests o owners.

By comparing the individual submission versus the comments (and stic

“voting”) at the public meetings, the consultant was able to derive a we

o discrete issues rom the individual submissions and also gauge the g

sentiment rom the public meetings.

4.3 Issue Identication

Prior to the public meeting on June 16th , Site360 compiled a list o gen

topics that summarised the input received to date. Many o the stakeho

who responded provided extensive detail with their input and all writte

correspondence has been retained and copied to RDNO or reerence in

this plan. The general topics were elaborated on during the presentatio

discussion sessions. The consultant did not reveal the distribution o a

o concern prior to or during the June 16th session in order to try and ge

comparison between the input received rom individuals and the input

during the June 16th meeting. The ollowing table indicates the genera

and summarises the distribution o concerns received directly by the co

and the distribution received during the public meetings.

4.4 Issues Arising rom Public Input

It is impossible to capture all o the specic statements into general categories

but the majority o the individual submissions did all into a ew generalized

themes. The only group petition that was submitted was by the resort owners/

developers and that petition has already been summarized above. It generally

indicates that the people who have bought into the resort development or those

who patronize it, are generally happy with the way the resort has developed and

would like to make sure that it continues to be successul. The group submission

also seeks to have the area generally east o the Club Kingsher RV park to

be recognised as a Resort Community in order to urther support recreational

businesses and developments.

The individual submissions covered multiple issues, summarised as ollows.

Seasonal Use of Community Amenities

Seasonal use is prevalent in the area closest to the lake and is expanding

westward through the recent development o two new RV resorts. Public use

o the river is also extending rom the west to impact areas along the river.

Community amenities such as public parking, boat launches, boat moorage

acilities, retail (i.e. convenience store), public beach access, trails and park

space are all impacted by the seasonal infux o non-resident owners, visitors

and permanent residents who also use these amenities on a seasonal basis. The

discussion through the public meetings indicated that this seasonal peak use was

the contributing actor to the sense that the area had reached or exceeded the

carrying capacity.

Some o the impacts are the result o the lack o any management o the public

resources, some public resources are inappropriately located in conficting

locations and some are simply undersized or the peak use. Further review o

existing underutilised resources in the community is a key component to ully

understand the capacity or the seasonal peak use. The Parks Master plan

currently underway should identiy existing public land resources that are under-

improved or not improved at all or public use.

Existing Development Potential

There have been a lot o comments regarding new or urther developme

area. There is an existing inventory o lots that are vacant or under dev

based on the current land use regulations (currently estimated at appro

200 lots). Discussion about uture growth needs to recognise how muc

growth is already de acto approved by way o existing lot and zoned lan

inventory. There also needs to be a better community understanding o

can be done with these lands in terms o services, maximum buildable a

and current environmental regulations. The plan area has a relatively s

land base with respect to non-rural (i.e. less than 1 hectare lots) develo

potential. A detailed inventory and clear set o criteria or development

less than 1 hectare and all lots that allow or multi-amily, commercial o

commercial should be prepared. This would help evaluate the current c

that the community should expect without any changes in the OCP or ot

planning policy documents. There needs to be a clear understanding o

approved but undeveloped land potential holds in terms o additional b

and population growth beore any uture growth and development mod

examined.

Community Infrastructure

There are reports that were prepared when the community sanitary sewer system

was implemented by Mabel Lake Resort and RDNO that describe how the system

can be expanded to serve a broader segment o the lakeside and near lakecommunity. However, it does not seem as i there has been a clear mandate by

the community nor the local government since that time to see the expansion

o the system, despite eorts by both parties. There are also perceived issues

with the capacity, both current and uture, o the system as well as the quality o

the efuent and the eectiveness o the ground disposal system. Reporting and

monitoring o the system is required and has likely been done over the years. I

the broader community is to have aith and condence in the sewer system, this

reporting should be made more readily available to the community. Until there

is a more complete buy in to the system, it will be dicult to get a majority o

support or expansion. Similarly, the local government will have options or

expansion o the system and they will have tools to mandate connection. These

issues or challenges need to be discussed with the community within the design

limits o the system to see i a strategy can be developed and championed by the

community.

The community water system has not been a signicant topic o discussion to

date but it also deserves the same kind o disclosure on monitoring and capacity.

Both o these inrastructure systems are demand driven. The community can

have a signicant impact on how eective and ecient these systems are, how

capacity can be preserved through demand management and how both individual

and community sustainable practises can infuence the need or inrastructure in

the uture. However, i the community is not aware o anything beyond the tap or

the toilet, they will not establish any sense o ownership in the systems.

Environment

Concerns about the environment are evident as a thread in almost every

correspondence. The issues range rom protection o surrounding mou

orest by way o provincial park dedication to concerns over groundwate

main issue o identiying carrying capacity o the environment to accom

uture growth and peak season use needs some baseline work that will

require uture monitoring and analysis.

There is no doubt that human activity leaves a ootprint on the environm

question or Kingsher is how big should the ootprint be? There need

xed set o data collection that can be used as a “yardstick” or the env

health o the community. It need not be complex but it should be a con

set o tests that are done on an annual or semi-annual basis and made

to the community. The primary issue, based on eedback so ar, should

can be compared to, and over time, they can see what is happening to their local

environment.

Similar to the issue with the inrastructure, awareness in the community needs to

be established based on physical evidence rather than perception or suspicion.

Kingsher is a relatively isolated area and is near the top o an elaborate water

basin. I the community desires to take extensive measures on their collective

environmental impact, they can likely do so without a lot o impact rom

neighbouring communities.

The environmental issue in general will cross over to all other issues. It is

impossible to develop a local area plan without addressing the environment in all

other divisions o policy.

Valley Specic Issues

The most specic issue that has come up with respect to the river valley portion

o this community has been a ew opinions about the ALR. It does not seem that

urther exclusion rom the ALR is desired by the valley residents nor have they

expressed any need or changes in land use. They are concerned about river use

by the public and general trac issues. There have also been a ew comments

made about aordable housing options within the more rural parts o the plan

area and the recent RV parks created west o the Kingsher Road. In the later

correspondence, issues regarding home based economic opportunities in the

rural area were mentioned a ew times. Current ALC and Zoning policies already

make provisions or bed and breakasts, arm tourism and arm accommodation

that should be adequate or rural opportunities. However, the Zoning Bylaw

should be reviewed to ensure that all opportunities that are aorded by the ALC

Policies are also accommodated by zoning regulations.

Although many o the issues seem to be ocused around the lakeside o the plan

area, these issues seem to be consistent across the participants to date. It seems

to indicate that the Valley residents are also concerned about issues at the lake as

they see it as a community resource.

5.0 Other Area Plans

5.1 Enderby and Area “F” Ser vices Parks Master Plan

The Parks Master Plan is currently in its ourth drat and is not available

thorough evaluation in the context o the Kingsher LAP. However, the

plan is structured on dening existing park resources in the community

determining short term and long term strategies or acquisition and par

development. The drat plan acknowledges a ew specic acquisitions

patterns by the public and or uture trail opportunities.

acknowledge that the acquisition o the crown land above the current ri

boat launch would benet the operational aspect o the boat launch and

parking.

5.2 Lower Shuswap River Inventory and Mapping

The Lower Shuswap River Inventory and Mapping is a detailed report th

the Shuswap River rom Mara Lake to Mabel Lake and includes the Mab

shoreline. The study examines habitat values o the River and shore zo

and creates and inventory o habitat values. This study will provide a d

baseline inventory that RDNO can use to ne tune Environmental Devel

Permit standards and related land use policies.

•A review o the current drat that is available to the public indicat

that most o the Shuswap River through the plan area is importan

salmon spawning grounds. The report provide our sets o mappi

inventories;

•Landuse, Bank Erosion, Bank and Channel Modications

•Signicant Habitat areas/eatures or Fish and Wildlie

• Instream and Riparian Vegetation

•Retrospective Account o Riparian Communities, Condition and C

The last set o mapping does not include data or the plan area. The combined

inventory is intended to be the baseline inormation or the Shuswap River within

the study area. Further work will be based on the inventory to orm a ranked

index o the environmental condition along the length o the river. Once thisis complete, the data should be used to evaluate Environmental Development

Permit applications within the study area. Furthermore, the combined data will

be a benchmark or urther studies to evaluate longer tem impacts to this part o

the ecosystem.

5.3 Community Wildland Fire Protection Plan

The Community Widlland Fire Protection Plan was presented to RDNO Board

in August 2010 or inormation and recommendation. The report generally

outlines strategies to mitigate the eects o interace wildres and to increase

preparedness or and monitoring o interace wildre hazards. The report

identies the developed area at the east end o the plan area as a High

Interace Fire Hazard Zone, with the remaining portions o the plan area

ranked as Moderate to Low. The report covers the entire RDNO and includes

the recommendation or a district wide Wildland Fire Protection Committee

to be ormed and to examine specic areas in more detail. Other general

recommendations or the district include education and awareness campaigns,

“FireSmart” demonstrations and overall monitoring o Pine Beetle aected orests.

The report also ocuses on a ew recommendations specic to the Kingsher LAP

area:

•Establish and maintain 10 m (where easible) vegetation clearance rom the

edge o the Enderby-Mabel Lake Road.

•Prepare a community survey o water sources available or reghting

purposes.

•Establish a 20-35 m open uel break to the north and east o Dolly Varden

Road.

•All road easements within the Kingsher community should be cleared o

vegetation where interace issues exist.

•Further eorts to establish a Regional Volunteer Fire Service, or at least six

months o the year.

•A major FireSmart campaign including demonstration projects on

volunteer’s property.

The report was accepted by the Regional Board or inormation and endollowing recommendations:

The long term vision can also assist RDNO to prepare or uture needs o the

community.

6.1.1 Vision Statement

The main point is that a Local Area Plan is a guide. It is not static and it does not

last orever. The recommendatio ns made here are the best advice or the current

conditions and current vision or the uture. Based on the input received and

the participation at the public meetings, the ollowing paragraph represents the

collection o visions presented by the community:

The Kingsher Community will remain an area known or i ts pristine

environment, strong environmental values vibrant community spirit and

natural beauty. These attributes will continue to draw new residents and

visitors to the area as they have throughout the history o Kingsher. The

community needs to ensure that a balance is achieved between the existing

rural liestyle and the growing recreational and residential pressures.

Actions are required to ensure that none o the attributes that make the

community a great place are lost to the pressures o growth. Principleso sustainability need to be applied with regard to inrastructure, public

amenities, access to natural resources, uture land uses and impacts on the

environment.

6.2 Environmental Issues

6.2.1 Monitor Water

Water monitoring is currently done on a relatively ad hoc basis, other th

regulatory requirements or the Mabel Lake Water System. The Westsiddents association has been doing annual testing and has been able to i

The Lower Shuswap River Inventory and Mapping study will provide an

baseline study or aquatic and riparian habitat values but will not neces

include water quality testing. RDNO should oer to be the keeper o rec

collected to date and should be the catalyst to make sure regular water

at least annually, rom a set number o sites is provided to IHA. Further

results o this testing should be made available through the RDNO web

coordinated through the Kingsher Hall society or availability to the co

6.2.2 Use SHIM and FIM to Supplement DP Process

The results o the Lower Shuswap River Inventory and Mapping study w

a detailed inventory mapping o Sensitive Habitat Inventory and Mappin

and Foreshore Inventory and Mapping (FIM). The mapping and invento

include an evaluation that will indicate where the most sensitive or valu

habitat exists within the Lower Shuswap River system, called an Aquati

Index (AHI). This index should be used to guide developments that see

change habitat values within 30 m o any inventoried watercourse as we

38




i s h e r / M

a b e l L a k


guide the application process or in-water acilities such as boat launches, hand

launches and marina acilities. Once the report is nalized, the collated mapping

o SHIM, FIM and AHI should orm the basis o the Development Permit Require-

ments where development is proposed within 30 m o a watercourse.6.2.3 Consult on Riparian Areas Regulation

Consult Ministry o Environment and Department o Fisheries and Oceans with

respect to North shore cabins and the implications o Riparian Areas Regulation

The north shore cabins are some o the oldest improvements on private land

within the plan area. They are also the most challenging lots with respect to

the location o the road, the lake boundary and topography. It is likely that the

application o standard Riparian Areas regulations (RAR) would result in very little

i any developable land on these lots should they seek redevelopment. However,

RAR is limited in its approach to the overall environmental decisions that need

to be made when evaluating development plans adjacent to the lake. RAR only

addresses riparian habitat potential and does not look at existing conditions. The

Department o Fisheries and Oceans may look at these situations dierently andbe willing to look at conditions that may provide improvements to the natural

environment, rather than only looking at the potential to restore habitat values.

This issue is also applicable to the Westside properties but they generally have

better topographic conditions. The reason to use the north shore cabins as a trial

area is that they have the potential to be serviced by sanitary sewer in the very

near uture and thereore there is a greater likelihood o re-development (i.e. new

construction) that would trigger RAR analysis.

6.2.4 Commence Sewer Collection Extension

The RDNO has relied on survey analysis as the basis or decisions on whether to

extend sanitary sewer collection systems in the past. Based on the community

input, there is interest in extending the sewer collection system or Mable Ridge

Estates, the north shore cabins and other ancillary lands on the north shore thatwere contemplated to be serviced by the Kingsher Liquid Waste Management

Plan. RDNO should proceed with a plan to extend the collection system and;

•Make all new construction contingent on connecting to the system wher-

ever it has been installed.

•Make all new construction provide “dry services” in areas where

collection service is planned;

And also consider:

•Providing incentives or voluntary connection.

•Providing economical nancing or those who do not need immed

service.

It would also be prudent to consider a 20 year capital plan to extend a s

collection system to the Westside. Although Westside residents have p

indicated that they did not want sewer service, it is not responsible to t

6.2.5 Identify Potential Marina Site

Use SHIM, FIM and AHI to indentiy potential new marina or expanded marina site

There are challenges accommodating all o the boat moorage during peak times inthe summer. Random moorage buoys end up prolierating the outlet area o the

lake. Shallow water and exposure to the wind also create hazardous conditions

during storm events. RDNO could promote the ability to create a water license

area appropriate or an additional marina acility. The current one at Mabel Lake

Resort is reserved or resort patrons and the River mouth Marina is well patron-

ized. The regulatory process to establish a new marina is signicant but can be

streamlined i the environmental inormation is current. The SHIM, FIM and AHI

inormation would help to analyze either expansion potential or a new location

or marina acilities. RDNO can explore the potential to obtain the water license

(or License o Occupation) and then oer it as a partnership to an operator in the

community. Some public services could also be secured as part o the partner-

ship.

6.2.6 Prohibit House Boats

The public stakeholders made it clear that there was a desire to prohibit house-

boats or other watercrat that had the potential to impact Mabel Lake with grey or

black water discharge. As there is quite limited access to Mabel Lake, the ability

to control the launching o large scale watercrat should be within the local gov-

ernment’s grasp. This may require zoning bylaws to cover the lake area but this is

possible to achieve. RDNO should explore its options or prohibiting houseboats

on Mabel Lake.

6.2.7 Provision for Future Water System Upgrades

There is a community water system in place that services approximately 246

residences, 60 apartment units, the gol course, the campground at the Holiday

Park and the RV park at Club Kingsher. There are approximately 71 residences

that could be connected to the system (and are paying an annual ee or the abil-ity) but are currently not taking water rom the system. RDNO should be planning

to add services to west side and north-east water ront properties to assure water

quality and supply are closely monitored.

6.2.8 Survey High Water Mark

As mentioned earlier, the North shore cabins are likely the ones that wi

the greatest challenge in meeting RAR provisions. RDNO should consid

missioning a survey rom the end o the lots on Simard Road through tolaunch at the river mouth that would establish the legal high water mar

would be a starting point or analysis or all subsequent RAR applicatio

also lead to a long term strategy or acquisition o properties that shou

re-developed.

area overlooking the lake and a small inormal lawn. The parking acilities on

this lot could be managed during the summer by way o pre-paid passes or daily

rates. Any other opportunities to create a management presence on site should

be investigated and pursued or the months o June, July and August.

Review public boat launch at river mouth and work with the marina lease holder to

improve a public dock unction and to try to achieve practices that would maxi-

mize utility while not compromising revenues.

There were several aspects to the operation o the marina at the river mouth

raised by the public. RDNO is not a party to the license o occupation or water

license or this marina, but it is in the interest o RDNO to make sure that it oper-

ates at the highest level possible. There needs to be a better public dock section

or temporary moorage while patrons are either parking their vehicles or retriev-

ing them. Currently, many boats pull up on the adjacent swimming beach when

there is no more room at the public dock. Some other comments were that i theriver mouth marina allowed slips to be shared by more than one tenant, there

would be more ecient utilization o the slips.

6.3.3 Develop Road Cross Section

Develop a road cross section with MoTI or a Resort standard that includes a trail/

sidewalk on at least one side, specied parking bays and minimum travel lanes

with trac calming.

This standard should be applied to Mabel Lake Road between Mabel Ridge Estates

and Kingsher Hall and also to River mouth Drive. Implementation would have

to be phased as unding could be secured and the standard could be modied

to include temporary pull outs near the resort store and Large Road boat launch.

The standard design would improve parking eciency, pedestrian saety and can

be used or trac calming.

6.3.4 Review Options for Public Launch and Moorage

Large Road is a public road that accesses the resort boat launch and ma

resort eectively manages their acilities but the opportunity or public

at this location remains. Any consideration would have to be done in cowith the resort management to ensure saety and eective design.

6.3.5 Establish “Community Code of Conduct”

The public comments indicated that during summer months, when visit

seasonal owners requent the area, many basic trac rules are ignored

the act that RCMP are not likely to establish any kind o permanent pre

the community, there should be a “Community Code o Conduct” that is

throughout the Mabel lake area. Some examples o activities that are in

ate are:

•Unlicensed vehicles on the road

•Underage drivers

•Speeding through congested areas

•Parties on the beach and the ancillary anti-social behaviour, litte

broken glass

•Excessive noise past 11 PM

6.3.6 Establish Community Patrol

Private patrols (non-commissioned) have been eective in the urban co

provide assistance to people or such things as a sae walk to your car, p

tourist assistance, assistance by-law and police ocers. In a seasonal

context, they can remind patrons o the Community Code o Conduct an

assistance to visitors. Given the scope o the peak use, it is probably o

or a ew weeks and weekends throughout the summer and would rely o

volunteer organization that could potentially be trained through the samunities program (RCMP).

6.3.7 Encourage Trail Development Through Fortune Parks Master Plan

There are a ew trails established near the lake that connect the river mouth

area with Mabel Lake Road and there is a rough trail established to make a loop

around the gol course. However, the standards o these trails vary greatly andthere is no common understanding o who the trails are or. A medium range

goal should be to establish a trail standard and trail signage to be developed

separately rom the roadway that would extend rom the bridge over Kingsher

Creek to the Holiday Centre.

6.4 Inrastructure

6.4.1 Expand Sewer Collection System

As mentioned in section 6.2.3, there is undamental environmental reasoning to

provide sewer service to as many properties as easible over the long term. Fur-

thermore, there are likely many properties that are either currently challenged to

prove out their own septic system or will be in the uture as replacement systems

are required.

6.4.2 Reserve Long Term Potential for Westside Users

It is not apparent that the Westside properties currently need sanitary sewer and

they certainly have not expressed a desire or service. However, given that the

current community system has been studied and deemed easible to expand to

serve the Westside, it should be a long term capital planning item.

6.4.3 Examine Solution for Westside Septic Pump-outs

The Westside is land locked and thereore has no current ability or sept

pump out vehicles to access and maintain those septic tanks. Regulato

prevent this occurring rom a barge. RDNO, the Westside community asInterior Health Authority and Ministry o Environment should work toge

establish a protocol or water based pump out services.

6.4.4 Plan for Water System Upgrades

As per 6.2.7, the community water system should be planned to service

construction and all existing development within a easible catchment a

current service area includes as ar west as Club Kingsher. When the s

sewer is planned to cross the river and provide service to the Westside,

be appropriate to extend a water main across the river at the same time

Recent data rom peak use in the summer o 2010 indicates that the wa

is operating beyond design capacity during the peak periods. Although

demand management can extend the availability o water, it does not ch

the maximum design capacity o the system. In order to make communavailable or existing and uture development, it will be necessary to up

pumping systems and the lake intake which will require regulatory app

the Ministry o Environment. RDNO should initiate discussions with the

now regarding increasing the water supply.

6.4.5 Initiate Water Demand Management

The community water system is currently unctioning beyond capacity

time during peak periods in the summer but likely well below capacity o

peak times. Many municipalities have successully stretched existing c

their water systems by reducing demand and especially peak demand w

but eective education program (e.g. WaterSmart in Kelowna). Educati

programs can be ollowed up with measures such as implementing wat

which allow consumption to be charged at unit rates rather than fat ratkinds o initiatives can extend the capacity o the system by reducing de

However, i the service area is to be expanded, physical plant upgrades

likely be required over the longer term.

6.4.6 Prepare Road Standards Plan

Prepare a road standards plan or the core area to ensure that roads are going to

be upgraded to a standard appropriate or the current use.

The existing main road through the plan area is Enderby-Mabel Lake Road. It

terminates at the entry to Mabel Ridge Estates (at Dolly Varden Road). It is recom-

mended that the design standard change at the Kingsher Creek Bridge and

extend to the terminus at Dolly Varden Road. The new design standard should

allow or ormalized parking on both sides o the road and a sidewalk or pedes-

trian route on at least one side. Such a design standard should be able to be

accommodated within a standard 20 m road right o way, subject to requirements

to include cut and ll sections. This standard would also warrant a posted speed

limit o 50 km/h and can include trac calming measures. Implementation or

this standard will need to be phased in gradually and where triggered by develop-

ment applications. It is recommended that the implementation start at Large

Road or the eastern end o Enderby- Mabel Lake Road and progress to the west.

Phasing and timing will be dependent on unding ability rom MoTI and RDNO.

6.4.7 Prepare Long-Term Road Improvements Plan

Prepare long term plan or improvements along Enderby-Mabel Lake Road

including turning tapers or major attractions, pull outs at scenic areas and other

strategic areas.

West o Kingsher Creek, Enderby-Mabel lake Road should be reviewed or oppor-

tunities or pull outs to allow slower vehicles to get o the road and allow trac

to pass. Opportunities will be limited but should be ocused near steeper hills

or ater sections where posted speeds are reduced. Additional review should be

ocused on locations where signicant attractions exist in order to accommodate

minor pavement tapers to allow sae turning movement on and o the main road.

6.4.8 Construct Emergency Access Link

Dedicated road allowance exists between Lusk Lake Road and Lusk Lake RoadEast. There is an existing pedestrian pathway constructed through this area as

part o the trail system that goes around the gol course.This is a potential area

or a link to be established as an alternate exit rom the north shore and Mabel

Ridge Estates to Beatie Road in the event o an emergency where the main road

is blocked east o Beatie Road. Construction to a permanent road stand

would require signicant re-grading but an emergency access only cou

established with relatively minor alterations. The emergency access ro

be closed to regular trac by o a gate or other means that could be op

emergency situation.

6.5 Emergency Planning

6.5.1 Improve Public Awareness of Emergency Response Plan

There does not seem to be a specic emergency plan or the Kingsher

however, there is an Area “F” emergency response plan that has identi

zones, helispots and staging areas within the plan area. The Area “F” E

Response Maps should be made available to the community and be the

o a public awareness campaign. An area specic emergency plan woul

benecial or the community but unding rom senior levels o governm

rst need to be secured.

The existing Emergency Response Plan Map or the Kingsher Plan Area

included in Appendix B.

6.5.2 Promote FireSmart Education and Awareness

The RDNO is currently in talks with the Ministry o Forest and Range and has hired

a consultant to undertake the rst steps in identiying prescription or all electoral

areas in the North Okanagan. Once these prescriptions have been identied,prioritized and unded there will be an opportunity to invite community members

to see the dierent treatments and how they could apply similar re mitigation

techniques on their lands.

6.5.3 Explore Potential for Open Fuel Breaks

The Wildland Fire Protection Plan recommends open uel breaks in the Kingsher

area to be established north and east o Mabel Ridge Estates. Although it does

not speciy an open uel break or the west side subdivision, it does identiy that

the west side subdivision is a High Interace Fire Hazard Zone. Given that the

west side is water access only, it would seem logical to suggest an open uel

break to the west o the established lots.

6.5.4 Explore Fire Protection Service Options.

The Wildland Fire Protection Plan also recommends that a volunteer re station be

established and equipped with basic equipment to suppress re incidents. RDNO

will explore protection services options identied by the Ministry o Public Saety

and Solicitor General in the “Establishing and Operating a Fire Department” docu-

ment. A volunteer re station can also become a signicant community service

organization beyond providing re protection services.

6.5.5 Seek Provincial Commitment to Maintain Emergency Egress

Many participants in the Local Area plan process pointed out that there is no

alternate road access out o the community. There is a network o well maintained

Forrest Service Roads in the surrounding area. Specically, the Kingsher

Main – Noisy Creek does provide a physical link out o the valley to the north all

the way to Three Valley Gap. This is a long route but it does provide an alternate

route should there be a catastrophic event that severed the Enderby-Mabel LakeRoad route west o the Brandt Creek Hand Launch site. There may be other Forrest

Service road links available as temporary bypasses. RDNO should work with the

Ministry o Forrest and Range to ensure that valuable linkages are not decommis-

sioned when no longer needed or resource based activities.

6.6 Future Land Use

The public comments during the consultation period were dominated by

impacts o seasonal use at the lake. This is an understandable reaction

area has undergone a signicant transormation in the last ten years widevelopment o the gol course and the introduction o new residential

development. It is easy to attribute the increased volume o people to t

o development. The recommendations o this Local Area Plan are there

heavily weighted on changes that would result in better acilities to han

infux o population in the peak summer months and on “management”

to accommodate the pressures o this recent growth. There was relativ

discussion on specic land use changes outside o the application by th

ownership group to release lands rom the ALR north and west o the cu

course. As discussed in Section 4.3, the majority o the individual subm

did not indicate that there should not be any urther growth in the area,

that growth should be conditional on various issues being addressed.

On this basis, we are not recommending any broad changes to the utur

use designations currently ound in the OCP. The plan does recommenddesignation as discussed in Section 6.6.2. There is existing developme

tial that is supported by the current OCP and this potential should be al

However, the ull recommendations o this plan must be considered to e

appropriate and reasonable developer contributions that should be sec

the time o development approvals.

6.6.1 Preserve Current Ocial Community Plan

No broad changes to current Ocial Community plan to increase land b

development over current scenario are recommended.

The reality is that without urther and signicant exclusion o lands rom

there are not enough developable lands to consider or uture developm

will enable the area to develop into a more sustainable and complete co

Lands currently designated or development are consistent with the visconcept o the gol course and a small resort community. It is recomm

that i additional lands are to be released rom the ALR, RDNO seriously

a b e l L a k


Kingsher Creek in the longer term uture, including additional resort oriented

developments. However, such decisions should be made based on establishing

a permanent and complete community. Any additional lands designated or

development beyond the current OCP without planning or a complete community

would result in urther pressures on existing community resources without a long

term plan that would support incremental improvements to inrastructure, public

amenities and general strategies to minimize and improve impacts to the natural

environment.

6.6.2 Consider Commercial/Industrial Land for Dry Land Marine Facility

The one specic land use change that warrants urther study would be to accom-

modate a dry land marine acility. Such a acility would accommodate dry land

boat storage and a system to allow rapid launch and retrieval o boats rom Mabel

Lake. A general location on the north side o Enderby-Mabel Lake Road, west o

the Rivermouth Drive / Beatie Road intersection is recommended or this designa-

tion. Similar acilities have been successully developed where there are limited

access points and limited on lake marine acilities such as at Sicamous and

Kelowna. Ideally, a new boat launch area would be constructed to be dedicatedto this operation but it can operate in conjunction with a public launch acility.

Further investigation is warranted to determine i an additional launch area could

be accommodated on the river, recognizing that there are environmental concerns

to be addressed. This would be a private enterprise solution to relieve pressure

not only on the existing boat launches but also on storage. There are challenges

to creating additional marina spaces on the lake and the prolieration o private

moorage buoys is creating hazards and detracting rom the enjoyment o the

oreshore.

6.6.3 Prepare Guidelines for Inll Construction and Re-Construction

Inormal observation o the existing development on the waterront leads to the

conclusion that many cabins that are currently located on waterront lots would

not comply with current environmental setback regulations i they were to be

re-constructe d. The biggest hurdle would be compliance with the Riparian Areas

Regulations (RAR) as this regulation only looks at potential habitat conservation

and restoration and does not take into account the existing situation with respect

to making incremental improvements. While it is not likely that RAR would be

waived or the waterront lots, there may be potential to work with Depa

Fisheries and Oceans (ederal) and Ministry o Environment (provincial)

a protocol that outlines what kind o improvements can be made while

incremental benets to the environment including riparian habitat and

quality. Both government agencies are engaged in other studies in the

are amiliar with uture challenges.

For non-waterront lots, there are still many vacant lots that are being u

seasonally with travel trailers and other non-permanent structures. The

will be considered or permanent construction over time. As indicated i

consideration should be given to building regulations to ensure that dry

sewer service is included in any new construction that is within the utu

area anticipated by the Liquid Waste Management Plan. Similarly, dom

systems should include a uture connection to community water i it is w

service area.

6.6.4 Acknowledge Growth

Acknowledge that growth will be lead by the recreational/seasonal stak

but that permanent residency will grow proportionately. Over the l ong t

permanent residency will be established to a greater extent as seasona

ment in the community continues.

The Kingsher area has demonstrated a historical draw as a recreationa

tion. This will continue to be a primary source o growth pressure into t

Analogies have already been made to other small communities that hav

transormed rom a purely recreational community to one where perma

residency has grown to a year round component. It is not considered to

ull time community, but it means that key land uses and inrastructure must be

considered and protected or a complete community.

6.7 Rural/Agricultural Policies

The current policy direction has been to limit rural growth in the plan area,

ocusing on the desire to limit private water and septic installations. There is no

compelling reason to change that direction. Furthermore, many o the rural lands

are within the ALR and will be retained or their agricultural potential.

6.7.1 Review Zoning Bylaw No. 1888, 2003 Section 301

Review Zoning Bylaw No. 1888, 2003 Section 301 which is currently more restric-

tive than ALR policies which allow secondary housing units, arm accommodation,

arm tourism activities and recreational uses on rural lands provided that these

activities will not impact the rural and agricultural nature o the area.

The Agricultural Land Reserve Act, its regulations and policies include provision

or individuals to pursue limited non-arm uses. The rural stakeholders com-

mented that they would like to see additional opportunities or them to earn an

income rom their land but they do not eel that there are appropriate avenues or

them to ollow. RDNO should clariy how the various policies o the ALC apply to

the Kingsher area and they could produce a short bulletin on what opportunities

are available through application to the ALC and are provided within the rural

zoning categories within the plan area.

6.7.2 Support Recreational Opportunities on ALR and Rural Lands

There are likely many recreational activities that could be accommodated on

rural parcels that do not require extensive or permanent construction activities.

Provided a land owner can demonstrate that there are no long term impacts to

their land or neighbouring rural parcels, RDNO should be supportive o non-arm

use applications to the ALC or recreation based business opportunities within the

rural areas o the plan. Some examples might be a zip-line operation, cycling and

hiking tours, horseback riding, limited bed and breakast operations, eco-tours,etc.

6.7.3 Adhere to Septic Disposal and Domestic Water Provisions

Continue to require stringent adherence to septic disposal and domesti

provision or all new rural construction and subdivisions.

The current regulations or new domestic water sources and onsite septprovide current best practices or sae operation o these private utility

Any changes to provincial or ederal policies should be implemented wi

hesitation in order to provide the best protection possible to the rural re

the plan area.

6.8 Residential Policies

6.8.1 Require Dry Service Connections for Residential Construction

All residential construction (new, inll, re-construction) should be requ

provide dry service connections or the eventual sanitary sewer connec

All new residential construction that is within the uture sewer service a

identied by the Liquid Waste Management Plan should provide a dry s

connection so that when community sewer is available to them, connec

be made easily. Similarly, RDNO should examine the community water

and map out a uture service area so that long term community water ca

made available to residences. Any new construction within the uture s

should be required to make provision or uture connection to the syste

Rural parcels that all outside o uture service areas or community wat

sewer would be exempt rom this policy.

6.8.2 Consider Secondary Suites

Where residential development is connected to sanitary sewer, opportu

secondary suites or rentals should be considered. The goal is to provid

housing alternatives within the community.

It is acknowledged that there may not be a demonstrated need or perm

rental housing within the plan area due to the seasonal nature o emploportunities. However, this will likely change over the long term. Secon

can provide an aordable option or those seeking alternative housing

plan area. Where community water and sewer are available, RDNO sho

gate zoning regulations that provide or secondary suites on residentia

i 54




i s h e r / M

a b e l L a k


6.8.3 Consider Residential Construction as Permanent Residency

All new residential construction, except on the Westside should be considered as

permanent residency or the purposes o zoning and construction requirements.

Past policies and regulations have acknowledged that most residential construc-

tion is intended to be used or only a limited period in any given year. These

policies may have provided or reduced servicing standards and/or construction

requirements. It is recommended that all new construction be reviewed as

permanent accommodation in order to ensure that i t will be compatible with the

community as it builds a more permanent population.

6.9 Commercial Policies

6.9.1 Support Commercial Land Use at Parkway Road

Continue to support general commercial land use at Parkway Road to provide an

alternative to the Holiday Park Store.

The current OCP designates two parcels o land near parkway Road and Enderby-

Mabel Lake Road as general commercial land use. The parcels are also currently

zoned C-1: General Commercial which provides or a broad range o general com-mercial uses on the main foor with opportunities or accommodation above. It is

recognized that there may be a limited market or general commercial currently;

however, these lands provide a good centralized location or general commercial

in the uture. The current general commercial business is located at the store near

the Holiday Park. It is envisioned that the current store would continue

to the convenience necessities o those attending the Holiday park and

related unctions and that the Parkway Road site would cater to genera

mercial activities that support the resort development and the broader

community.

Should the long term vision discussed in Section 7 be adopted as a long

plan or the area, there may be potential or the Parkway Road commer

to be re-designated or commercial accommodation. However, this opp

will not exist unless additional lands are designated or long term neigh

commercial use.

6.9.2 Establish Water Lot/License for Marine Use

Consider establishing a water lot/license o o the end o Large Road o

purposes o marine use. Provide the license to private operators on the

o short term and daily usage being available to the public.

The limited lakeront available or public use has been discussed in pre

sections. One o the resulting impacts is that there are limited marine on the lake within the Plan area. Large Road is a public road that acces

the private marina and boat launch at the resort. RDNO should investig

potential to create an additional water lot or aquatic lease area or addi

marine acilities. RDNO could then make the lease available to private o

in exchange or improved public use acilities such as an improved boat

and short term moorage. Any investigation into this possibility would n

coordinated with review o the community water system as the lake inta

located in the same general area.

6.10 Parkland and Open Space Recommendations

The current drat Parks Master Plan ocuses on improvements to the exi

access points.

The current drat o the Fortune Parks Master Parks Plan or Area “F” oco the recommended actions or the Kingsher Area on improving the a

points to the Shuswap River. While these access points are important

enjoyment o the Shuswap River, they were not the priority issues relay

the stakeholder meetings and input or the Kingsher LAP. There are ex

access points developed at Dales, Cooke Creek and Brandt Hand launch

i 56




i s h e r / M

a b e l L a k


6.10.1 Utilize All Public Land Resources

No plans have been made to increase access to Mabel Lake in the current drat

Parks Master Plan. Initiatives should be directed at ully utilizing all public land

resources on both Mabel Lake and the Shuswap River. At minimum, this shouldinclude clear demarcation o public road access points.

The stakeholder input identied access to the lake or the public as the priority or

park and open space needs. In reviewing the legal composite plans, there ap-

pear to be several road end access points that have not be cleared or marked or

public access. It is recommended that these existing assets be recognized and be

cleared and marked with signage or simple pedestrian access to the water. Long

term plans should be made to acquire additional public land on the oreshore to

Mabel Lake.

6.10.2 Develop Long Term Acquisition Plan

In conjunction with the RAR mapping exercise to identiy the high water mark on

the north shore, a long term acquisition plan should be developed to acquire

those lots that will be dicult or impossible to redevelop or residential use,providing they can be used by the public or access to the lake.

In conjunction with 6.2.8, RDNO should identiy the properties that are consid-

ered the most dicult to meet current and uture environmental guidelines or

residential development and add those to a log term acquisition strategy or

public use. The criteria or inclusion should include an analysis o whether there

is potential to add them to contiguous public lands and whether they are suitable

or public access. This process should be done in conjunction with a review o the

specic polices or the Kingsher Area ound in the Area F Parks Master Plan.

6.10.3 Implement Programs for Public Asset Management

Most o the seasonal peak issues are derived rom a lack o manageme

ence at the lake. RDNO should examine potential partners in the comm

implement programs that would result in eective management o publduring the summer and a revenue stream to o-set wages. Opportuniti

increased when RDNO can secure DL 2415 rom the crown.

Partners in Parks is a template that has been used in other communitie

park land assets are made available or limited commercial use in orde

a community service. An example that could be used in the case o Kin

would be on site management o the boat launch and upper parking lot

to o-set wages or this service, the upper parking lot could be contrac

or parking and storage. This would be more easible once the land at t

parking lot is ully controlled by RDNO and improvements can be made.

6.10.4 Acknowledge Potential Provincial Marine Parks

The OCP acknowledges a potential uture provincial park south o the w

development. This would likely be restricted to boat access only. Thereadditional potential or marine based park land to the north o the exist

opment area on Mabel Lake. Two provincia l parks already exist on the S

River at Skookumchuck Rapids and The Islands.

6.10.5 Develop Trail System

There is a great potential to develop a trail system with connectivity thr

the Kingsher area, at least east o Rohan-Peters Road. Options or a tra

rated rom the road should be explored west o Rohan-Peters Road with

As mentioned in 6.3.7, the general area could benet rom a dedicated t

system. Short term ocus should be on the area east o Kingsher Cree

seasonal crowding and trac congestion is most prevalent. However, a

complete trail system should enter the long term planning horizon that

potential there is or a separate trail to be located within the road right

a b e l L a k


6.10.6 Acquire Ball Field

Ball eld acquisition is in the drat Parks Master Plan.

Other than improved access to the Shuswap River, the Drat Parks Master Plan

identies the acquisition o the ball eld property west o Kingsher Creek as

the major parkland acquisition or the plan area. This acquisition would provide

or programmable active recreation space or the community and also ormalize

public access to the Skookumchuck Rapids. Although this land has been used

ad hoc by the community, it is still private land and should be owned by the local

government i the public use is to continue.

6.11 Heritage Policies

The Enderby and District Museum Society is a commission o the City o Enderby

and the RDNO and was contacted to provide input regarding heritage resources

or the Kingsher area. The society is prepared to assist any property owners who

eel that they have a heritage resource and are seeking some orm o protection.

The society has also provided a list o resources in the plan area that is listed in

Appendix “x”. it is recommended that RDNO continue to use the society to assistwith the voluntary protection o heritage assets within the plan area.

The society is also an advocate to designate the entire Shuswap River as a

Heritage River. There are likely several implications and opportunities that go

with a Heritage River designation that are beyond the scope o this plan. RDNO is

encouraged to study the implications and opportunities o this action in conjunc-

tion with the Enderby and District Museum Society. Furthermore, all initiatives

regarding heritage management should include consultation with the Splatsin

First Nation, including an i nventory o any sites protected under the Heritage

Conservation Act.

The ocus o this local area plan has been on addressing existing issues

have been the result o growth. I these issues can be addressed, the co

could start to look at what an expanded village and residential commun

look like. We heard comments about wanting sustainable growth and to

complete community. The community’s observations are that the currenmix o rural and seasonal recreational residences with rural agricultura

more predominant in the river valley and western portions o the plan a

mercial recreational activities are also ound closer to the Mabel Lake p

the plan area. This mix o land uses orms the Kingsher community.

We have prepared a hypothetical plan that is one possible iteration o a

use plan that would promote a permanent and complete village area at

Mabel Lake end o the plan area. This is the most logical place to consid

permanent growth as the basis level o inrastructure are ound here an

head is the most prominent eature that seems to attract visitors and se

residents. It is thereore logical to consider that this area is most likely t

uture permanent growth. We call this plan a “Blue Sky” plan as it is inte

refect a preliminary level o thought and research with a positive outloo

Our version o “Blue Sky” planning or the Village at Mabel Lake is attac

Appendix E. Some o the key points included in this version are;

• the establishment o a village centre or institutional and comme

around the current location o the community hall

• a range o residential housing types including some low density m

amily uses

• uture park provisions and riparian management areas adjacent t

courses

• potential acquisition o additional lakeront lands or public use

• an expanded and upgraded community water and sewer inrastru

The intent o such a plan is to provide a long term vision that should be considered when making current

policies. It could also be the basis or supporting lands to be released rom the ALR. It is very much a plan

or only one portion o the Kingsher area but by establishing a village node here, the rest o the plan area

could be preserved in its rural and agricultural state or the very long term.

It must be noted that this version o a “Blue Sky” plan has not been included or implementation. Rather,

it is included to promote uture community discussion on what the uture holds or the Kingsher plan

area. There are limitless variations o this plan that could eventually be considered to establish a village

centre here. The community and RDNO have many recommendations to consider with this Local Area Plan

that should be addressed beore any uture planning similar to our Blue Sky plan is considered. However,

there will be a point where a more detailed planning exercise or the village area may serve as a catalyst to

address some o the recommendations. The timing o this initiative is let to the community and RDNO to

best decide.

We are experiencing a change in what creates great communities. The indus

proach o needing a large actory or industry to support the town is proving t

important with the advent o communication technologies and the inormati

People are creative and they will nd ways to be employed in remote areas b

tion through the internet. Kingsher could grow into an area with a vibrant vand capitalise on all o the natural attributes it has today, but it needs to add

current shortcomings rst and set a solid plan or the uture.

The useable land base within the plan area is too limited to allow a random p

sion rom where the community is at today and still preserve the sensitive en

that makes this place special. However, once the short term recommendatio

been considered, consideration should be given to a village planning exerci

ing signicant community engagement.
