8. New and Other Business
• Community Park and Beach Development
Kinookimaw Park Committee (KPC) Report: Many of you may have noticed the improvements to the park on Cedar Cres. Thanks to the KPC and their many volunteers in getting the park to where it now is. But there is more to do, as such KPC is looking for additional funding. Following several meetings of KPC, they have developed a costed plan and have approached KRA in the hopes of providing funding towards the redevelopment of the Community Park & Shoreline fronting the park on Cedar Cres., The Board of Directors are recommending support for a request for funding towards the improvements in the park in the amount of $1,500.00, on a matching donation basis by the KPC and subject to ratification of the community at the AGM. If ratified, the Board will request a further matching donation from the KBA.general maintenance and improvements to the beach area.
M: THAT the KRA approve a request for $1,500.00 in funding from KRA reserves on a matching donation basis.
​
M/S: S. Hanoski / R. Moore:
Question / Concerns / Discussion:
​
Q=Will play structures be moveable? A=Yes.
Q=will gates be maintained? A=planning still in place, but sense is that gates will remain.
Q=will shoreline access be maintained? A=yes, that is still part of the plan but still in discernment for best option as
we need to keep “outsiders” out, but still allow for emergency vehicles as required.

• Increased Access via Westerly-Most Easement
A request has been made to KBA and KRA to open access on the easement located on far west Sunset Drive. The Board does not have the authority to just open this access point, although we are fully prepared to gather information from the community and pass it on to KBA for their final say. Currently there is one access point off Cedar Cres. through the park to the shoreline. The second access point to the shoreline is off the 500 block of Sunset Drive, next to Randy Kozakewich. The third if requested by the community would be on the West side of Sunset Drive, between Rick & Diane Armstrong & Dan & Dina Dennis. There currently is a walking path down to the lake at this point. Any cut through this area would require the use of a bobcat or similar equipment and create approximately a 6-foot cut. As mentioned, all comments will be passed on to KBA for their decision.
​
Comments Collected:
​
-
Not sure of the need now that easier access in park available
-
Original East easement sold to adjacent resident in response to park access creation.
-
Prefer two west accesses, one driveable, one walkable
​
M: THAT KRA signal to KBA that the Westerly-Most access remain as a walking path access, though it also be
expanded / cleared so as to facilitate the passage of strollers, carriages, children’s wagons, etc..
M/S: R. Moore / C. Matt
Recognition of need for some community work to get the improvement done (offer to help with labour / ideas by J. Zak, R. Dennis, D. Dennis).
CARRIED
