Tofino to get much-needed single-family homes

Tofino to get much-needed single-family homes

J.E. Anderson & Associates’ Engineering and Land Surveying teams just completed a project on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, which will see 19 new single-family homes built in Tofino, which is in dire need of housing.

The team from J.E. Anderson did all the civil engineering and land surveying on a 3.9-acre parcel of land at 521 Gibson St., owned by Victoria-based LeFevre and Company. The 19 single-family lots are in a central part of town, near the downtown shopping area and the local elementary school, Wickaninnish Community School. As part of the project, J.E. Anderson’s staff connected adjacent Pfeiffer Cres. with Gibson St. via a walkway that makes it much quicker for children in the neighbourhood to get to school.

Some of the challenges J.E. Anderson’s team worked through had to do with the slope of the property. Given the property’s slope and the land use bylaws, J.E. Anderson’s surveyors designed a layout of 6 fee simple lots and 13 bare land strata lots. Additionally, while the team was working on the project, the municipality also had crews doing an upgrading project on Gibson St.; however, they were able to coordinate seamlessly thanks in part to the efforts of Tofino staff.

“We’re really proud of our work on this project, which provides much-needed housing in Tofino said Jeff Tomlinson, Manager, Engineering and Partner at J.E. Anderson’s Nanaimo office. “Residents of this subdivision can easily walk to the village centre and pick up groceries or access the excellent multi-use path that connects Tofino and Pacific Rim Park.”
