Salmon Arm NewsSicamous council seeking to speed up foreshore lease renewal lag causing 'uncertainty'Uncertainty over lease delayPhoto: Luc Rempel Exterior of the District Office in SicamousSicamous city council has vowed to put more pressure on the provincial government to move forward with issuing foreshore lease renewals, saying the stall in approvals has cast 'uncertainty' on waterfront businesses. Should a business fail to secure a foreshore lease renewal, they would be required to remove anything constructed below the high-water mark, such as docks or marinas, which would essentially force many channel-based businesses to close. He said he knows property owners in the channel who have been waiting for an answer on a foreshore lease renewal application since 2011. The provincial government has not made any moves to turn down foreshore lease renewals or requested the removal of any docks or marinas from businesses waiting on lease renewals. “We finished the western water study that was gathering all the studies, putting them together and seeing what we have,” said Kyllo.
