SUBJECT: First Reading

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property from RS -1 (One Family Urban

reading and be forwarded to Public Hearing;

b) Project Description:
Bob's A to Z Rental Ltd., an equipment rental commercial operation, currently exists at 20850
Lougheed Highway (Lot 5) and 20862 Lougheed Highway (Lot 6). An application has been
submitted to rezone the adjacent eastern property located at 20870 Lougheed Highway (Lot 7) from
RS -1 (One Family Urban Residential) to CS -1 (Service Commercial) to permit the storage of mobile
rental equipment and facilitate internal circulation for the existing equipment rental operation on
Lots 5 and 6. Consolidation of Lots 5, 6, and 7 will be a condition of the rezoning.
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The subject property, 20870 Lougheed Highway (Lot 7), is designated as Urban Residential in the
Official Community Plan. The proposal is to amend the Official Community Plan to re -designate this
property as Commercial, to enable the expansion of the existing commercial business situated
immediately to the west. The expansion of the existing business is supported by Section 6.1 of the
Official Community Plan, which contains an objective "to support, maintain and market the
community to current and potential employers". The site is a natural extension of the commercial
designation to the west, is vacant, and is limited in residential potential, given its location on
Lougheed Highway and narrow lot width. The lot's incorporation into the rental business improves
the viability of the business, the security to the existing equipment yard, and eliminates a potentially
problematic driveway access onto Lougheed Highway.
Zoning Bylaw:
A preliminary review of the plans in relation to the Zoning Bylaw requirements has revealed that the
proposal generally complies with the bylaw, although Lots 5, 6, and 7 would need to be consolidated
prior to rezoning. Landscaping and servicing requirements would also need to be met.
Development Permits:
A Development Permit is not required for this rezoning as there is no proposed new development
and site improvements are valued at less than $25,000.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was hosted by the applicant on December 18, 2008, at the
Maple Ridge Travelodge, located at the intersection of Lougheed Highway and 216th Street, with no
attendees, therefore no questions nor concerns were raised.
-3-
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The additional storage space will allow for improved internal circulation for equipment movement
and customer parking. Some interest has been expressed by the neighbouring property for
commercial designation also. The District has not supported this request as the site has very limited
access, has a smaller site area due to the watercourse setback area, and is not well suited to a
commercial use.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department reviewed the servicing for the rezoning and provided their comments to
the applicant. There is no proposed new development, therefore the services provided through Lots
5 and 6 will be adequate for this application, provided that the three lots are consolidated as
planned. The lots will be serviced to a full urban standard in accordance with the provisions of the
Subdivision & Development Servicing Bylaw No. 4800-1993 as amended.
Fire Department:
The Fire Department reviewed the application for rezoning and had no concerns as no access to Lot
7 is proposed after lot consolidation.
f) Intergovernmental Issues:
Local Government Act:
An amendment to the Official Community Plan requires the local government to consult with any
affected parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section
882 of the Act. The amendment required for this application, changing the designation of Lot 7
from Urban Residential to Commercial, is considered to be minor in nature. It has been determined
that no additional consultation beyond existing procedures is required, including referrals to the
Board of the Regional District, the Council of an adjacent municipality, First Nations, the School
District or agencies of the Federal and Provincial Governments.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that first reading be given to Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending
Bylaw No. 6638-2008 and Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6639-2008 and that application
RZ/021/04 be forwarded to Public Hearing.

236" Street and 134" Avenue
to urban standard through the Rezoning Servicing
Agreement
SD/081/06
The proposal is to rezone 22.6 % of the total site (0.457 hectares out of 2.022 hectares) owned by
the District, to support a future subdivision of 8 single family lots. The site slopes down from the
northeast corner to the southeast corner with an average 20 % grade. The access to the site is
mainly from 236" Street and also from 134th Avenue. The above mentioned site is owned by the
District and the applicant is accepting this rezoned site in exchange for a "Park" lot which will be
created in phase II of a subdivision proposed at 13396, 233rd Street.
-2-
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The Official Community Plan designation for the subject property is Residential -Medium Density
(71%) and Open Space (28%). The portion of the site proposed to be rezoned to 8 RS -1b (One Family
Urban -Medium Density) lots occupies only 22.6 % of the site; hence the proposal is in compliance
with the Official Community Plan.
Zoning Bylaw:
The Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw requires RS -1b lots to be minimum 15.0 m wide, 27.0 m deep and of
a minimum lot size of 557 m2. The proposed 8 RS -lb (One Family Urban Residential- Medium
Density) lots range in area from 558 m2 to 609.3 m2 and comply with the width and depth required
in the proposed zone.
Development Information Meeting:
As the development proposal is for less than 25 units in compliance with the Official Community
Plan, a Development Information Meeting is not required.
Advisory Design Panel:
The proposed project does not have to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel as it does not
require a Development Permit.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
Property Management Committee:
In the Silver Valley Area Plan, which forms part of the Official Community Plan, a portion of the
subject property has been designated for Neighborhood Park. As such, the District has an interest in
acquiring that portion.
At a Closed meeting on June 12, 2006, Council authorized staff to enter into an agreement with the
owner that would allow the District to acquire the portion of the subject property which is designated
for park in exchange for a portion of neighboring District owned property (the subject site). 8 lots
have been proposed out of which 7 lots are equivalent to the "park" land in exchange and the eighth
lot will cover the expenses that the applicant will incur for all the off-site works as part of the
rezoning process. Although the agreement has not been finalized to date, now that the lot potential
and related service requirements on the District owned property are largely determined, the parties
expect to finalize the exchange agreement in the near future.
-3-
Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department has the following comments:
• Collector standard road required on 236th Street (with curb, gutter, sidewalk, street
lighting, sanitary sewer and storm water drainage), north of 133rd Avenue to the south
boundary of the subject property.
• No road dedication and water main is required as part of this rezoning as it is being
provided by phase I of a subdivision (SD/081/08) proposed at 13396 233rd Street.
• No Geotechnical concerns and DCC forgiveness possible for the subject site.
• Lot 8 to be created from this subject property cannot be created unless road and servicing
is dedicated and constructed on the adjacent land to the south through the phase II
subdivision servicing for the subject property (following rezoning) proposed at 13396 233rd
Street.
Fire Department:
The Fire Department supports the elimination dead-end roads such as Rocky Ridge Drive to provide
a better neighborhood connectivity, public safety and efficient emergency response in this area.
Building Department:
The Building Department does not see any out -standing issues with the proposed rezoning and
recommends that a preliminary site grading plan and geotechnical reports may be required at the
subdivision stage.
Parks & Leisure Services Department:
The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified the need for this park in relationship to the
existing houses in this area and the land swap allows the park to be acquired without direct
purchase. When the subdivision is completed they will be responsible for maintaining the street
trees which will be assessed prior to subdivision approval.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed rezoning is with the intention of exchanging zoned land with the applicant. The
applicant has agreed to exchange land with the District, in the form of rezoned land of 8 lots for a
"Park" lot which will be created in phase -II of a subdivision proposed at 13396, 233rd Street. If this
rezoning is not approved for any reasons that the Council feel are appropriate, the District will have
the option of buying the "park" land outright.

SUBJECT: First Reading
Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No.6646-2009
22351 144 Avenue
Timberline Ranch
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone a portion of the subject property from A-2 Upland
Agriculture to P-3 Children's Institutional, to permit the expansion of an existing ranch (agri-tourism
facility). The subject property is 100 % within the Agricultural Land Reserve and a non-farm use
application for this expansion was approved earlier by the Agricultural Land Commission. The scale
of this approved expansion was to increase the total occupant capacity of the site from 205 to 255
persons, and to upgrade and replace some of the structures on the site.
The Official Community Plan recognizes and allows for permitted non-farm uses within the
Agricultural Land Reserve. On this basis, the application is in compliance with the Official
Community Plan.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6646-2009 be given first reading and be forwarded to Public
Hearing.

b) Project Description:
This development proposal initially was forwarded to the Agricultural Land Commission as a non-
farm use (AL/123/06). The Commission noted the following requirements as a condition of
approval:
• The camp be hooked up to the City sewer
• Relocating the new proposed playing area to a location within the existing footprint of the
camp
• The construction and expansion of the camp be in substantial compliance with the plan
submitted with the application
• Approval for non-farm use is granted for the sole benefit of the applicant and is non-
transferable.
In accordance with Commission requirements, the site plan at this stage was largely conceptual in
scope and was not drawn in the context of the split -zoned lot or the existing portion that is zoned P-3
Children's Institutional.
Once the Commission approved the Plan, the applicant secured the services of an architectural firm
to prepare suitable building permit drawings. It was revealed at this point that the proposed new
buildings extended beyond the portion of the site currently zoned P-3 Children's Institutional. On
this basis, it became apparent that the subject property would have to be rezoned in order to permit
this proposed expansion at this specific location. Some changes to the existing facility have
expanded beyond the institutional zoned portions of the site.
-2-
In addition to facilitating the approved expansion of this facility, this application presents an
opportunity to rectify the incremental changes that are noted above.
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
Council authorized the non-farm use application for this proposal to proceed to the Agricultural Land
Commission on May 8, 2007. The accompanying staff report noted compatibility of this proposed
expansion with the policies of the Official Community Plan as they pertain to institutional uses in the
rural area. The report noted concerns around extending municipal services to this remote area, but
recommended support for this application, as this was a pre-existing use offering community
benefits.
The subject property is designated Agriculture in the Official Community Plan. Generally, the
permitted zones in this designation are Agricultural Zones; however, Appendix C of the Official
Community Plan notes that all zones for non-farm uses are permitted in this designation provided
that these uses are permitted by the Agricultural Land Commission. As this approval has been
granted, this application is in compliance with the Official Community Plan.
Zoning Bylaw:
The site is currently zoned 89 % A-2 Upland Agriculture and 11% P-3 Children's Institutional. As
noted earlier in this report, in order for the applicant to realize this development proposal, a portion
of the site must be rezoned to P-3 Children's Institutional to support this proposed expansion. The
balance of the site will remain in the A-2 Upland Agriculture Zone.
d) Citizen / Customer Implications:
The Economic Development Office confirms that Timberline Ranch is an economic contributor to the
community.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
The operation has experienced septic failure, and has been approved by the Greater Vancouver
Sewerage and Drainage District for including the developed portion of the site into the Fraser Sewer
Area. The property owner is currently involved in developing a suitable force main design for this
service delivery in collaboration with the Engineering Department.
As a parallel process, the Engineering Department is working with the applicant and the Greater
Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District to resolve inconsistencies between this development
proposal and the existing Fraser Sewer Area Boundary.
f) Environmental Implications:
The site is traversed by a network of watercourses. A portion of the site is within a floodplain.
Depending on the proximity of the subject property to these natural features, a Natural Features
-3-
Development Permit or a Watercourse Protection Development Permit may be required prior to
construction occurring.
CONCLUSION:
This application for a rezoning of a portion of the subject property has been triggered by the
proposed expansion of the approved Institutional Use of the site. In addition, it is apparent that
incremental changes to the developed portion of the site have extended beyond the perimeter of the
existing P-3 Children's Institutional Zone. This application provides an opportunity to both correct
this discrepancy and allow for the expansion of the existing facility. This application is consistent
with the non-farm uses previously approved by the Agricultural Land Commission.

Director of Timberland Ranch
Mr. Douglas spoke with the Commissioners and Staff about the application and the proposal
to expand the Arabian horse camp. The existing bunkhouse is past its prime and the fire
department has requested that the building be replaced. The new building would be
constructed on the same footprint as the bunkhouse and a portion of the existing cabins.
This new building would be proposed as a meeting area for the campers as well as to allow
the facility to be able to offer their facilities for retreats and conferences. Staff housing
would also be included in the new building. In order to replace the displaced cabins, as well
as to accommodate moderate growth in the camp from 120 to 144 children, 6 duplexes with
false fronts of a western theme town are being proposed. These duplexes would also
accommodate the aforementioned conferences as well as family camps. Hooking the camp
to the City sewers was also discussed. Mr. Douglas brought up the need for more field
space for the campers. The timeline for the project is 5-10 years. Mr. Douglas then toured
the Commissioners and Staff around the property in order to view the facilities and where the
proposed buildings would be located.
Page 2 of 3 Resolution # 373/2007
Application # 0-37432
Context
The proposal was weighed against the purposes of the Commission as stipulated in section
6 of the Agricultural Land Commission Act (the "Act"). They are:
1. to preserve agricultural land
2. to encourage farming on agricultural land in collaboration with other communities of
interest, and
3. to encourage local governments, first nations, the government and its agents to
enable and accommodate farm use of agricultural land and uses compatible with
agriculture in their plans, bylaws and policies.
Discussion
Assessment of Agricultural Capability
In assessing agricultural capability, the Commission refers in part to agricultural capability
mapping and ratings. The ratings are interpreted using the Canada Land Inventory (CLI),
`Soil Capability Classification for Agriculture' system, or the BC Land Inventory (BCLI), 'Land
Capability Classification for Agriculture in B.C.' system.
The improved ratings for the agricultural capability of the soil of the subject property are:
Class 2 — Land in this class has minor limitations that require good ongoing management
practices or slightly restrict the range of crops, or both.
Class 3 — Land in this class has limitations that require moderately intensive management
practices or moderately restrict the range of crops, or both.
Class 5 — Land in this class has limitations that restrict its capability to producing perennial
forage crops or other specially adapted crops.
Class 7 — Land in this class has no capability for arable or sustained natural grazing
Subclasses
A soil moisture deficiency
D undesirable soil structure
R shallow soil / bedrock outcroppings
T topography
W excess water
Organic Soils - Organic soils are grouped into seven classes, designated as 01 to 07. The
organic soil class definitions are equivalent in terms of their relative capabilities and
limitations for agricultural use to those defined for mineral soil.
Class 3 — Land in this class has limitations that require moderately intensive management
practices or moderately restrict the range of crops, or both.
Subclasses
L degree of decomposition - permeability
W excess water
Page 3 of 3 Resolution # 373/2007
Application # 0-37432
Assessment of Impact on Agriculture
The Commission also assessed the impact of the proposal against the long term goal of
preserving agricultural land. The Commissioners felt that the proposed expansion would not
adversely impact agriculture as the new buildings would be located within the existing
footprint of the camp. The Commissioners were, however, interested in the playing field
that would also be relocated within the existing footprint of the camp. The Commission
believes the proposal would impact existing or potential agricultural use of surrounding
lands.
Conclusion
That the proposal will not adversely impact agriculture.
IT WAS
MOVED BY:
SECONDED BY:
Commissioner Bose
Commissioner Tomlinson
THAT the application be allowed.
AND THAT the approval is subject to the following conditions:
• The camp be hooked up to the City sewer
• Relocating the new proposed playing area to a location within the existing footprint of the
camp
• the construction and expansion of the camp be in substantial compliance with the plan
submitted with the application
• approval for non-farm use is granted for the sole benefit of the applicant and is non-
transferable.
This decision does not relieve the owner or occupier of the responsibility to comply with
applicable Acts, regulations, bylaws of the local government, and decisions and orders of
any person or body having jurisdiction over the land under an enactment.

SUBJECT: Variance Permit
Legal Subdivision 1 of the South East Quarter Section 25, Township 12, NWD;
26015 128 Avenue; and
Legal Subdivision 8, Section 25, Township 12, NWD
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A Development Variance Permit application has been received for the following properties:
• Legal Subdivision 1 of the South East Quarter Section 25, Township 12, NWD;
• 26015 128 Avenue; and
• Legal Subdivision 8, Section 25, Township 12, NWD.
The applicant is proposing to subdivide the subject properties into 51 Industrial lots that are no less
than 0.40 ha (approximately 0.988 acres) under file number SD/007/08. 264 Street is an
undeveloped road right-of-way located to the east of the subject properties. The Subdivision and
Development Servicing Bylaw requires any dedicated but undeveloped highway within or immediately
adjacent to a proposed subdivision or development to be improved by the applicant. As there is no
intention to have a road at this location and because it serves as a horse trail, a variance is required to
exempt the applicant from developing this road right-of-way.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal DVP/007/08 respecting properties legally

A new road connected to 128 Avenue will be
constructed as part of the subdivision
Municipal Water and Septic
0.40 ha (approximately 0.988 acres)
SD/007/08, DP/007/08
To exempt the applicant from developing the 264
Street road right-of-way adjacent to the subject
properties.
The applicant is proposing to subdivide the subject properties into 51 Industrial lots that are no less
than 0.40 ha (approximately 0.988 acres) under file number SD/007/08. A portion of North Kanaka
Creek and Badger Brook are located on the subject property; therefore, the applicant has applied for a
Watercourse Protection Development Permit under file number DP/007/08.
264 Street is located along the east side of the subject property and is an undeveloped road right-of-
way. The Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw requires any dedicated but undeveloped
highway within or immediately adjacent to a proposed subdivision or development to be improved by
the applicant. As there is no intention to have a road at this location and because it serves as a horse
trail, a variance is required to exempt the applicant from developing this road right-of-way.
2
c) Planning Analysis:
According to the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw, the undeveloped 264 Street road right-
of-way located to the east of the subject properties should be developed. However, the subdivision
application was referred to the Engineering Department who indicated that there is no intention to have
a road at this location.
It is also important to note that the 264 Street road right-of-way is being used as a horse trail and Policy
7-42 of the Official Community Plan states the following:
Maple Ridge supports the establishment and maintenance of a multi -use and equestrian trail
network in partnership with trail users and defines the general plan for trail routes and connections
on Figure 5 of the Official Community Plan. The District of Maple Ridge acknowledges that any
proposed trail routes and connections through the Agricultural Land Reserve would require the
approval of the Agricultural Land Commission.
CONCLUSION:
As there are no intentions of having a road at this location and because the existing road right-of-way is
being use as an equestrian trail, it is recommended that DVP/007/08 be favourably considered.

SUBJECT: Soil Deposit Permit
13780 224 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A Soil Deposit application has been made to the District which falls under Section 20 (3) of the
Agricultural Land Commission Act for non farm use. This site is 4.042 hectares and is within the
Agricultural Land Reserve and the North Alouette Floodplain. This application arises from the
farmer's need to protect his farm land but also to ensure that the neighbouring properties are not at
risk. This application conforms with the requirements of the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC)
which requires Council's comments and recommendations concerning the proposed fill activity in
the floodplain before forwarding to them for review. If the Agricultural Land Commission approves
the application, the owner will be required to fulfill all conditions under the District's regulations.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the application for a fill permit under the Section 20 (3) of the Agricultural Land Commission
Act submitted by Mr. Bassi for the property at 13780 224th Street be forwarded to the Agricultural
Land Commission with the recommendation that the placement of fill is carried out in compliance
with the relevant provisions of the Maple Ridge Soil Deposit Bylaw No. 5763 - 1999 and that the
Agricultural Land Commission consult with the Alouette Valley Farm and Homeowners Association.

b) Project Description:
The property in question is located within the North Alouette floodplain and is within the Agricultural
Land Reserve. The property has Anderson Creek to the north and Cattell Brook to the south. It is
also subject to flooding along the west side of the property along 224th Street that fronts the
property (this becomes a channel when the North Alouette level rises). The area is prone to flooding
from the Alouette River and the Cattel Brook and has experienced several 1:100 and a 1:200 storm
events in the past several years.
The applicant has requested permission to bring fill onto the property to raise the level of the field to
ensure that the crops would be out of the water.
c) Planning Analysis/Environmental Implications:
There are specific concerns regarding the potential impacts of mitigation measures required to deal
with both storm water and flooding concerns. Appropriate design and mitigation measures would
need to be prepared, reviewed, and approved by a qualified professional(s) to ensure the proposed
re -grading will not result in negative impacts to the neighbouring and upstream properties or safety
concerns for neighbours.
There is ongoing risk management issues concerning farm lands located in the floodplains that
requires the careful coordination and communication between the Department of Fisheries and
Oceans (DFO), Ministry of Environment (MOE) and the District, for example:
• the construction of berms around the perimeter of the properties due to water displacement
affecting neighbouring properties;
• encroachment of berms and dykes into active floodways of major watercourses and into DFO
and municipal watercourse setback areas; and,
-2-
• large scale in -filling of farm lands to raise the elevations in floodplain areas due to water
displacement affecting neighbouring properties.
After the Agricultural Land Commission has reviewed the application and, if they approve it, the
applicant will be required to apply for a soil deposit permit under the District's regulations. There will
be conditions attached to that permit that the applicant will need to fulfill including that the
proponent provide the District with a review and written assurances from a qualified professional
that addresses the following items:
• any infill, berms, or re -grading on site will not have a negative impact on neighbouring sites
with respect to displacement or routing of water during flooding;
• mitigation controls must comply with federal fisheries and oceans regulations and municipal
regulations. Any variance from this will require authorization from the senior agencies.
During the past year, a local group representing both residents and farmers in this area was formed
(the Alouette Valley Farm & Homeowners Association). This group was involved with the Alouette
River Task Force which is now disbanded and it would be appropriate for the Agricultural Land
Commission to consult with representatives of this group in the consideration of this application.
The District is awaiting a report that speaks to the issues facing this area and while it would be
advantageous to await this report, there is a time limit placed on the process by ALC legislation
that restricts the processing time. This is the second application to place fill that has been
received by the District in this area.
d) Intergovernmental Issues:
Any fill being brought onto the site must be in compliance with the Department of Fisheries and
Oceans (DFO), Ministry of Environment (MOE) and the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC). The ALC
requires Council comments and is generally supportive of municipal regulations concerning hazard
management.
e) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Berming or raising grades of properties within a floodplain can have implications of displacement of
water and the subsequent impacts to neighbouring properties. For those living and working in
floodplain areas, these issues are of concern.
There are ongoing risk management issues concerning farm lands located in the floodplains that
require careful coordination and communication between Department of Fisheries and Oceans
(DFO), Ministry of Environment (MOE) and the District. Significant issues of concern include the
construction of non permitted berms that are not structurally sound around the perimeter of the
properties, encroachment of berms and dykes into active floodplains of major watercourses and
watercourse setback areas, and large scale in -filling of farm lands to raise the elevations in
floodplain areas. These types of development activities are often at odds with municipal risk
management objectives and lead to safety and liability concerns for surrounding properties.

f) Alternatives:
That the application for a fill permit under the Section 20 (3) of the Agricultural Land Commission
Act submitted by Mr. Bassi for the property at 13780 224th Street be forwarded to the Agricultural
Land Commission with the recommendation that it be denied for flood hazard reasons.
CONCLUSION:
This application to bring fill onto the property to mitigate the flooding in the area for farming
purposes may have consequences as there are other properties within the floodplain that would like
to utilize similar measures.

SUBJECT: Soil Deposit Permit
25292 130 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A Soil Deposit application has been made to the District which falls under Section 20 (3) of the
Agricultural Land Commission Act for non farm use. This site is 3.356 hectares and is within the
Agricultural Land Reserve. This application arises from the farmer's need to mitigate water retention
on his land but also to ensure that the neighbouring properties are not impacted. This application
conforms with the requirements of the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) which requires Council's
comments and recommendations concerning the proposed fill activity before forwarding to them for
review. If the Agricultural Land Commission approves the application, the owner will be required to
fulfill all conditions under the District's regulations.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the application for a fill permit under the Section 20 (3) of the Agricultural Land Commission
Act submitted by Mr. Bhullar for the property at 25292 130th Avenue be forwarded to the
Agricultural Land Commission with the recommendation that the placement of fill is carried out in

SP/024/06
This property is located within the ALR and is being used for the operation of a nursery business.
The applicant has requested to bring fill onto his property to cover the current clay based soil and to
afford some drained surface to work on within the property. There are no crops grown in the soil on
the property; the plants are grown in pots and the fill would allow drainage of the area around the
plant pots and create a safer and cleaner work surface for the owner and employees.
There has already been some filling on this property under the Soil Deposit Permit SP/024/06 as
well as some filling occurring without a permit. This permit would allow the unfilled portion of the
property to be brought to the same grade as the filled portion of the property. The overall level of the
fill will not exceed one metre in depth.
c) Planning Analysis/ Environmental Implications:
The south east portion of the property is waterlogged and appears to be the head waters of Zirk
Brook. This therefore requires that a report by a qualified professional be required to determine if
fill would affect the watercourse and if setbacks would be required. It would also determine if filling
the property would have adverse affects on neighbouring properties.
d) Intergovernmental Issues:
Any fill being brought onto the site must be in compliance with the Department of Fisheries and
Oceans (DFO), Ministry of Environment (MOE) and the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC). The ALC
-2-
requires Council comments and is generally supportive of municipal regulations concerning hazard
management.
e) Citizen/Customer Implications:
There are implications for the neighbouring properties with regard to increased traffic for the
duration of the filling.
f) Alternatives:
That the application for a fill permit under the Section 20 (3) of the Agricultural Land Commission
Act submitted by Mr. Bhullar for the property at 25292 130th Avenue be forwarded to the Agricultural
Land Commission with the recommendation that it be denied.
CONCLUSION:
This application to bring fill onto the property to mitigate the lack of drainage would be
advantageous to the property owner.
