A resident has started a petition opposing developers’ move to bring two properties near the base of Revelstoke Mountain Resort into City of Revelstoke boundaries, saying the two Agricultural Land Reserve-listed properties could end up being removed from the agricultural reserve as a result.
A resident concerned our limited agricultural land will be turned into developments is petitioning against the final process for two properties being annexed into the city.
The properties at 3304 & 3452 Catherwood Road are about 13 and 40 acres. The former is owned by Peter Bernacki, Melinda Bell and Richard Mickle, the latter by developer David Evans. The application began in February 2015, and while the property owners have no plans to develop the land anytime soon, they have indicated in their application that the land is for future growth with uses complimentary to Revelstoke Mountain Resort.
