Hotel on the Naramata Bench?

AKA: The next battle.

Will Naramata allow a 20 suite hotel to edge it's way in and onto agricultural areas? Note I said "area" because this hotel is supposedly unproductive bedrock. Which means blasting to make room for the foundations etc.

Yes or No?

Who is going to win or lose, this one?

The story is somewhat misleading. Its not in Naramata; in fact still well within the city of Penticton limits. Off of Naramata Road, onto Poplar Grove road. The village of Naramata has no say in the matter. Hope it proceeds; what a great spot for it.

Exactly. What a misleading headline.
Naramata would not be able to have a development like that without dealing with the septic issues to neighbours desires...no smell.

Not taking a side here but there is no sanitary sewer at the proposed location either. That also means begs, should it be denied because there isn't? After all, the entire community of Naramata is on septic. So is Kaleden. So is Lakeshore Highlands and Heritage Hills yada yada.
Is a 20 room Hotel with 20 acres of land gonna make a significant difference?
And BTW, if you can smell a septic installation.....there is something wrong with it.

Part of this proposal is a sewer main extension that will connect to the Penticton city sewer system.

Thinking the same thing and I was curious last night, so I took a peak on the city mapping system and I was surprised. The main's not far from there at all. Look's quite do-able.

Penticton has a sewer system. Likely a lifting station might be required. A large self contained sewer system for a development can and has been done without issues. The Naramata Inn at the bottom of Robinson is an example.

If one to put a large development say at the old packing house site in Naramata, Sewer/septic is the elephant in the room there.

How far is not far? Distance plus works, plus asphalt, plus lift station that requires power and pump maintenance for a 20 room boutique Hotel?? Can't see that as a business plan. Nope, this place will be septic or it will unlikely happen unless the very deep pocketed Holler doesn't give a chit and he has done that before.
