Appendix 2. Excerpt from View Royal Official Community Plan (2011) pp170-171
Marsh Shores include both mudflat and delta areas, and are generally highly sensitive and productive natural areas. The intertidal (foreshore) zone in this area is typically dynamic, changing in response to large stream flows and storm events. Though dynamic, the shore zone in these areas is generally accreting rather than eroding. It is important to allow sufficient space to allow these natural sediment processes to occur. With this type of shoreline, the following guidelines apply:
i. Provide a property-specific assessment with respect to building setbacks and shore protection designs, as stream sediment processes are important and will vary from site to site.
ii. Dredging or filling of marsh shore should not be permitted.
iii. Use of marsh shore areas should be limited to park or conservation uses that do not require structural intrusions.
iv. Where shore protection measures are necessary, make use of "beach nourishment" designs, which add appropriately sized material to the upper beach, creating a natural beach slope and beach armour.
v. Sea walls and rip rap embankments should not be used to protect these shoreline areas.
Development Permit - 77 Caton Pl
Pete Robertson & Lisa Riehl
We will remove existing:
- English Ivy (mostly removed already!)
- Pampas grass
- Bamboo
- Morning Glory
We will plant native plants to replace the invasive species removed: -see plan for approximate locations: S = Salal SB = Salmonberry F = Fern G = Garry Oak or Arbutus
The setback to the edge of the proposed building has been corrected to the natural boundary.
We are experienced gardeners and did extensive landscaping at our previous home in Sooke. We will be doing all the work ourselves. We have decided against removing the poplar tree.
Estimated cost of landscaping materials (plants, soil, mulch) = approx $1000
