The Regional District Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) lost no time when the spring thaw hit to execute a court-ordered removal of ten unapproved structures from Peter Demski’s property on Granby Road in rural Grand Forks this week.

The wrecking crew arrived on the morning of Wednesday, March 28 with dump trucks and a trackhoe to take down ten trailers and remove the debris from the unapproved trailer park in Peter and Lisa Demski’s yard.

Demski has a 136 acre land parcel along the Granby River, located about six kilometres up Granby Road. The land is zoned in the Agriculture Land Reserve (ALR) and is therefore allowed only one dwelling.
