480 Peno Road staff presentation - Update II

Save Kelowna Springs Petition ----> Here.

The City of Kelowna's own material points out the development is being built over a flood plain. The Flood Hazard Assessment concluded:

The proposed modification of the floodplain storage volume at the Property does have the potential to impact Mill Creek design flood water levels, the extent of which should be assessed as required by the Bylaw.

The combined presence of Simpson’s Pond, in addition to the Property’s flood plain, is estimated by AECOM (2022) to reduce the peak downstream discharge rate of Mill Creek by 1.5 m³/s (or approximately 6.5 % of the design flood flow). The combined floodplain storage of Simpson’s Pond and the Property occupy approximately 185,000 m² at the design flood water surface elevation, of which approximately 46% is within the Property. Considering that the proposed development would reduce the combined floodplain storage surface area by approximately 27%, the resulting change to the peak flow in Mill Creek would be significantly less than 1.5 m³/s and represents a minor impact to flow (less than a few percent). The potential for an increase in flow of less than 1.5 m³/s to create the required 3 m raise in the Mill Creek hydraulic grade line is considered near impossible to be achieved without significantly modifying the geometry of the main conveyance geometry of Mill Creek, which is not proposed.

Water flow loss is 6.5% and storage loss is over 27%. According to this material, the property occupies 85,000 square meter (21 acres) of the design flood water. The report fails to estimate cubic metre of water that 85,000 square area stores. If the average height stored is 1.5m, water volume stored is 127,500 cubic metres.

There is more. Here. and Here The appendices will not be included in the report to council.

It's being disputed by Kelowna citizens at the event that Denciti supplied a survey to attendees at it's 'public forum' in November. "Denciti’s summary on the meeting is that “a strong majority of attendees supported” the plan. They’ve attached 13 survey responses, of which only 1 is negative." What this rubbish is suggesting is more lying and subterfuge by the wicked screaming assholes at Denciti.

For consideration we have the report from the overpaid, easily lobbied Kelowna City staff. Here. • Staff recommend support the proposal as it is consistent with OCP policy related to supporting industrial development. • The proposal strikes a very good balance between protecting recreational amenities, preserving natural areas, and supporting economic development.

NO rationale for the outrageous steal/land swap is being offered by well compensated bureaucrats. How one justifies Kelowna taxpayers swapping useless land for industrial meant for their bus depot for 1/20th of its value isn't touched. A few things leap out. First is the stroke of genius that was Denciti buying the ACL land at 3030 Old Veron Road. That is envisioned as the location of the access road.

The purchase/attempted purchase of property close to that access road by the Sandhers and others for years is also shown to be a wise investment.

Propaganda also shows a pumphouse, required for the continuous fight against aquifers.
