I can completely agree with Ray Dalgleish's letter regarding the lack of leadership the regional district has for derelict properties in rural areas.
Through my own experience the region has comfortably allowed derelict vehicles, dilapidated camp shacks, and a wild assortment of debris, as typical and or normal content for regional/rural areas.
There appears to be a "wide variable" or an "adjustable acceptance," that the regional district can easily deem as a satisfactory allowance to the "unsightly bylaw." As far as what is "deemed unsightly" has its own challenges.
This faltering bylaw is typically used with full advantage by the region to tactfully abandon any type of remedy to cleanup derelict properties. Unfortunately, all these factors contribute and encourage the derelict property fiasco. I am sure the regional district will convey their own conjecture opposing the very opposite to my experience.
However as far as any quality remedial result(s) are concerned, that still remains to be seen.
