Why are we in such a rush to approve development of the Galloway lands along the Lizard Creek drainage when it appears there is available stock for estate homes in Timber Landing at RCR, the Cedars, Montane and Alpine Trails.

The Galloway lands are located between the Cedars and FAR, Mount Fernie Park and Highway 3. Reto Barrington (developer) and Bud Nelson (land owner) are petitioning the RDEK for a land use amendment to change the current zoning, thus developing 90 home sites, circled by a stand alone parcel of open space for recreation and trails, masked as ‘conservation lands’.
