CULTUS LAKE — One local venue in Cultus Lake hopes to create a cozy ambience for more intimate gatherings by making part of its facility available for smaller weddings.

The Cultus Lake Park Board has approved a plan that would see the storage building on the 13th hole of the Cultus Lake Golf Club undergo water and sewer connections for the purpose of accommodating micro weddings.

According to a recap from its meeting held Wednesday, March 20, the park board has asked staff to execute a covenant agreement to be registered on title for the Cultus Lake Golf Club to permit connection of water and sewer to the storage building on the golf course to facilitate micro weddings and other golf course operations, excluding short-term, long-term and any form of residential lodging.

At its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, February 21, park board commissioners met in closed session to consider a request from the owner-operator of the Cultus Lake Golf Club that would permit water and sewer connections to the storage building on the 13th hole to host micro weddings, defined as “intentional, intimate ceremonies” that host 20-50 guests for approximately 3-4 hours.

In 2016, the park board reviewed and approved a request from the owner/operator to relocate the existing cottage from 280 Fir Street to the Cultus Lake Golf Course at the thirteenth tee box noting limited use, park board document state. The owner would be limited to the use of the structure for storage use only; electrical services would be connected to the building, but not water or sewer. The cabin would only function as an outbuilding or storage unit, and the owner had to apply for a building permit for that purpose from the Fraser Valley Regional District prior to moving the building. All necessary permits for moving the building had to be obtained from the Ministry of Transportation and the Fraser Valley Regional District. A signed covenant agreement would be registered on title outlining the use of the building on the land and that a signed agreement be filed which was completed.
