The Pas council refuses to commit to running a proposed $140 000 campground in Devon Park after five years, citing unknown future costs. The Pas Kinsmen want the town to maintain the site while the Kinsmen cover development, but club rules block actual operation.
Town Council created a three member committee led by Municipal Superintendent Norm Baxter to oversee the conversion of the former municipal building into a public library. Demolition is about 60 percent with 10 percent each for electrical and general construction, a new roof is planned, and September 15 is the target completion. Parking and landscaping are under study with a cost review pending.
The Pas and District Advisory Planning Commission approved a variation order for Jehovah's Witnesses to construct a 17 424 square foot church at the corner of Fourteenth Street and Gordon Avenue, 12 percent under the required 20 000 square feet. One objection from The Pas opposed the site and potential parking. Spokesman Evans Premachuk said the design would beautify the area and that parking space would be provided with 6 to 7 spaces and potential expansion. The plan received unanimous consent.
The Pas and Commission set a 5 member quorum including the chair due to LGD absence. Six variation orders were reviewed, including Pacific Petroleum gas bar and Evans Premachuk rear yard waiver. Pacific Petroleum variances lowered site size and expanded sign area. Evans Premachuk garage rear yard waiver faced opposition.
