The company estimates stage one will cost $1.42 million and take about a year to complete, Tonn introduced cost-sharing Proposals which would see downtown property owners Picking. up either 70 per cent or 50 per cent of the costs with the city funding the balance. A third Proposal would have the owners paying the full share. | For im tee, city council and city staff — met Th with consultants hired to develop a i pr in the first stage, the owner of b property d at $100,000 with 12 strategy to review the final concept drawings, th estimated capital costs and the tax implications of those costs and make a decision on whether or not to proceed. ¢ The consultants, Urban Systems Ltd. of Kamloops, presented a $3 million Price tag for italizing the entire d m core over the next five to 10 years. Renewal of the downtown area is the first phase of plans that will eventually extend up Columbia Avenue to the Highway 3-Highway 22 interchange. The first phase would be broken down into five Stages with the initial stage including i metres of frontage would pay'$1,186 more in taxes under the 50-50 spilt, $2,439 more under the 70- 30 split and $3,485 more with no cost-sharing by the city.

Consultant Gregg Lindros said the estimates are “conservative” and do not take any utility grants into consideration. Removing the overhead wiring is now estimated at about $200,000 for the first stage of improvements and $490,000 for the ments to 3rd Street, 11th Avenue south of 3rd Street, 4th Street to Columbia Avenue and one parking lot, as well as developing “entry features” entire d core. City administrator Gary Williams said about half those costs could be wiped -out completely if the city can get in on B.C. Tel’s program of enewal priced at putting its cables underground. The city also plans to approach West Kootenay Power asking the local utility to match a B.C. Hydro program which offers 50 per cent grants for burying cables. As well, the estimates don’t account for new businesses that may be drawn to the dow: wn core because of the improvements, Williams said. The city must now decide whether to proceed with the revitalization plan. If the city decides to Proceed, Urban Systems will work with the revitalization committee and the city to solve outstanding concerns such as parking and decide on details in the plan and the finances. Meanwhile, the city would prepare a bylaw to change the tax structure of downtown business owners, Lindros said now is a good time to get the strat- egy underway because the provincial government ffering loans at six per cent for downtown revi- tal the local is good, d renewal would complement other future develop- ments such as the city’s proposed riverfront park and the new bridge linking Castle; and it would give downtown me: compete with shopping malls proposed in other areas of the city.

System stumps valley... man By DONNA ZUBER Staff Writer A Vallican man is frustrated with the legal system that has prevented him for almost two years from doing anything to his Property that involves disturb- ing the soil. The Sinixt-Arrow Lakes Indian Band got an injunction against Tibor Molnar’s Property in September 1989 to protect burial and heritage sites they claim exist on his property, Since then the court has ordered that an archeological study be done to prove that the remains exist. “I can’t do anything ... I have to buy firewood and the trees are right there,” Molnar said Tuesday. “I just can’t under- stand the justice system, how it works. I pay the taxes and I can’t use it (the property).” Molnar was in B.C.

The ministry is waiting for its consultant to finish “fine tuning” costs and scheduling information needed to approach the provincial Environment Ministry and the federal Fisheries Ministry for their approval, said Barry Eastman, the Highways Ministry’s of professional we're getting right now.” He said he isn’t aware of anything that would hold up the process. Following the announcement of a bridge site, the ministry will meet first with local politicians and then again with the public once it has had a chance to Prepare “enough details to make (the information) presentable.” open houses were held in April for public input on the ministry’s proposals. Eastman said the Highways Ministry has taken much of that input into consideration. “That's the main reason it’s taking so long,” he said. “We got a lot more input than we regional services. “We've narrowed it down to two finalized routes ... so we're closer than where we were before but we haven't definitively chosen (the site) yet,” Eastman said. “We hope to be in that position next week.
