“T thought it was exces-
sive for a cemetery where
most of the people are
dead,” he said..“It’s not like
iz’s a multi-storey apartment
buiiding where people would
be using roads and sewers.”

In his rufing, Supreme
Court Justice Frank Cole
said that the municipality
had “done everything in its
power to delay, confuse, and
obstruct the petitioner.”

Cole determined that the
district had “exceeded its
authority” in attempting to
make Campbell, Saunders
purchase an access road and’
pay development costs. , -

“Gray” said; he was. not
aware of any: ‘planned rezon-

Gray said he thought the
district was holding off on
making a final zoning deci-
sion for the site.

On Feb.}, district council
made a decision to withhold
the permit for 30 days
because of a bylaw conflict.

On Feb. 8, council passed
a resolution to hold off on
issuing the permit for anoth-
er 60 days.

Campbell, Saunders is still
waiting for a building per-

there is a chance investors
may recoup some of their
money.

Gray said that he had a
buyer who was interested in
purchasing Seasons’ share in
the project for $4.5 million if
a building permit is issued
and if there is no require-
ment to pay development
costs to the district.

If the sale goes through,
investors could sce up to 40
to 50% of their investment
returned, Gray said.

Representatives for both
the municipality — and
Campbell, Saunders will be
back in court in November
to iron out the issue of
whether the cxisting fire
access road is sufficient.

“At the moment, it’s sta-
tus quo,” Gray said. “the

District director of corpo-
rate services Dave Stewart
said that the project would
not be going ahead until the
legal issues were dealt with.

If November's hearing
also rules in favour of
Campbell, Saunders, Stewart
said the mausoleum project
could potentially go ahead
despite the rezoning effort.

However, the district may
consider an appeal.
