Community Water and Septic
SD/069/07, DP/069/07
The subject property is 13.42ha in size and is bound by Targe lot residential development to the
north and east, Dewdney Trunk Road to the south and 264th St. to the west. Agricultural Land
Reserve properties are located to the west of the property across 264th Street.
The site slopes from the north to the southeast corner, where McFadden Creek runs through the
property. The southeast corner is to be dedicated park to provide the required 30 metre setback
from the top of the bank of the stream. The current application proposes a total park dedication of
1.396 ha. (3.44 acres), the vast majority of which will be in the southeast corner and will provide
riparian protection area for McFadden Creek. A small portion (470m2) of park dedication occurs in
the northeast corner. All buildings will be sited outside the geotechnical setback line, as stated in
the geotechnical report, to ensure stability of the proposed housing. The development will be
serviced by city water and individual lot septic systems.
Development Proposal
The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 26527 Dewdney Trunk Road
from RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS -2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to permit
subdivision into 26 lots. A minor amendment to the Offical Community Plan is proposed to create
the conservation boundary on the site.
-3-
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The proposed rezoning to RS -2 (One Family Suburban Residential) is in accordance with the subject
properties designation as "Suburban Residential" in the Official Community Plan. The OCP
designates the site 100 % Suburban residential, however, the proposed residential development is
within 50 m of the top of bank of McFadden Creek and is, therefore, subject to a Watercourse
Protection Development Permit. A portion of the southeast corner, totalling 1.12ha (2.77 acres) will
be dedicated as "Park" with re -vegetation and enhancement works through the Watercourse
Protection Development Permit. This dedication will trigger an Official Community Plan amendment
to Schedules "B" and "C".
An Agricultural/Ground Water Impact Assessment Report has been prepared, as per the
requirements of Section 6.2.2 of the Official Community Plan.
Agricultural/Ground Water Impact Assessment
The Agricultural/Ground Water Impact Assessment Report, prepared by Letts Environmental
Consultants Ltd., and dated September 15, 2009 concludes the following:
• The proposed development's direct footprint will not result in permanent loss of land from
agricultural production;
• No severance or isolation effects will result in any land within the ALR or in agricultural
production or added operational challenges to farmers. However, future changes in
operational practices within the ALR lands to west of the proposed development are
unknown and may occur, these may result in opposition from urban neighbours and could
be viewed as a nuisance. Therefore, it is recommended that a disclosure be prepared, and
provided to all homebuyers or prospective homebuyers of parcels within the proposed
development, regarding possible negative impacts of agricultural activities;
• Possible negative impacts from drainage have been mitigated through the careful planning
and design of a storm water management system;
• The proposed development will not have negative implications for travel between farm
parcels;
• The surrounding quality and quantity of surface and sub -water will not be negatively affected
by the proposed development; and
• Consultation with the farm community should be considered prior to any future development
taking place to the north and on the east side of the current application.
Zoning Bylaw:
The RS -2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Zone requires a minimum lot area of 4,000m2; a
minimum lot width of 36m and a minimum lot depth of 60m. The 26 proposed single family lots
comply with the above requirements of the Zoning Bylaw as follows;
• areas range from 4,000m2to 5,578m2;
-4-
• the lot widths range from 36 m to 45 m; and
• lot depths from 27 m to 37.2 m in lot depths.
Servicing Bylaw:
The current development site is serviced by municipal water, however, the municipal sanitary sewer
system does not service this area, therefore, sewage disposal will be dealt with by on-site Type 1
septic disposal systems. ABM Engineering has provided a report verifying the ability of the current
proposal to accommodate on-site Type 1 septic systems.
Development Permits:
The applicant has submitted a Watercourse Development Permit to ensure the preservation and
enhancement of McFadden Creek.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was held on Tuesday, November 25, 2009 at Websters Corner
Elementary School. As per Council Policy 6.20, invitations were mailed to qualifying property
owners, advertisements were placed in the local paper and a notice was attached to the
development sign on site. Approximately 10 people attended the meeting with 1 comment sheet
returned, which advised that the proposed development is a terrific addition to the neighbourhood.
The applicant identified the following discussion points raised at the meeting:
• A neighbour raised concerns about the existing drainage problems along 264th St.
However, he is satisfied that the proposed development will not adversely impact his
property.
• Property owners on the west side of 264th St. raised concerns about potential
contamination of their wells from the septic field; and
• A number of attendees are concerned about the sight distance of the vertical curve of
Dewdney Trunk Road.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department has reviewed the proposal and has provided the following comments:
1. The boulevard, located on the north side of Dewdney Trunk Road from 264th St. extending
140m east, must be regraded to a lower elevation to improve the sight line at the
intersection. This work will be done at the subdivision servicing stage. However, the
engineer will determine the extent of the work at the zoning stage; therefore, a Rezoning
Servicing Agreement is required. As a result, dedication along Dewdney Trunk Road may be
required to provide a controlled sight line area.
-5-
The engineering consultant's servicing plan recognizes the need for, and deals with
the re -grading of the boulevard on Dewdney Trunk Road, to the satisfaction of the
Engineering Department.
2. The following road dedication will be required at the rezoning stage;
a) 3.Om across the frontage of Dewdney Trunk Road except where the right-of-way has
been widened via Plan 72140 and as noted below;
i. 3.4m across the 264th St. frontage
ii. The existing corner truncation provided by Plan 72140 may not be adequate.
There is a need for the north boulevard of Dewdney Trunk Road to be lowered
to improve sight lines at the 264th St. intersection as noted above. The
consulting engineer must determine the amount of lowering works and any
additional road dedication requirements.
3. Some of the proposed lots must have water metres due to their size.
4. The existing road on 264th St. must be widened along the east side to the current standard
of 7 metres asphalt and a two metre gravel shoulder. This will entail moving the ditch to the
east, as well. The ditch channel must suit the flow, which is considerable.
5. Storm sewer and rip rapped ditches will be needed on roads greater than 6% grade; the
drainage is to be directed away from 264th Street.
6. Storm sewer on statutory right-of-way to Dewdney Trunk Road is required.
7. Three-tier storm water management to be provided/Overland drainage to be managed.
8. A comprehensive lot grading plan is required.
Parks & Leisure Services Deoartment:
The Parks and Leisure Services Department has identified an equestrian trail along 264 St and are
prepared to support the concept for the placement of the equestrian trail (along 264th St.) subject
to the details in the servicing plans providing continuous surface that is acceptable for equestrian
use by our trail partners the "Haney Horsemen"
The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the subdivision is completed
they will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. In the case of this project it is estimated
that there will be an additional 26 trees which is based on one tree per lot; final subdivision design
will provide exact numbers. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that the
rnaintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree will increase their budget requirements by
$650.00.
-6-
Fire Department:
The Fire Department has no concern with the proposed development.
Intergovernmental Implications
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, 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.
The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial Plan/Capital Plan and the Waste
Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact.
e) Outside Agency Issues:
Telus
A Telus Right -of -Way is registered on the subject property. Telus has indicated there are no
concerns with the current development proposal.
f) Environmental Implications:
Potential environmental implications will be mitigated through the Watercourse Protection
Development Permit. The applicant is dedicating 1.12ha (2.77 acres) of Parkland for the protection
and enhancement of McFadden Creek. A rainwater management plan is required to offset any
impacts from increased run-off.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that first reading be given to Maple Ridge OCP Amending Bylaw 6701- 2009 and
Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6702 - 2009 and that application RZ/069/07 be forwarded
to Public Hearing.

Existing Use of Property: Vacant
Proposed Use of Property: Three commercial rental units for the C-1
(Neighbourhood Commercial) zone
Access: Dogwood Ave.
Site Area: 1758 m2
Servicing: Urban
Companion Applications: VP/080/08 and DP/080/08
b) Project Description:
A vacant building, which was formerly the Black Sheep Pub, currently exists at 23227 Dogwood
Avenue. An application has been received to rezone the subject property from LUC (Land Use
Contracts) and RS -2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to C-1 (Neighbourhood Commercial) to
permit the renovation of the existing building into three commercial rental units.
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The property is currently split designated as Commercial (Historic Commercial centre of Yennadon)
and Estate Suburban Residential. This application requires a minor amendment to extend the
boundaries of the Commercial (Historic) designation to include the entire property. Historic
Commercial centres located outside of the Urban Area Boundary are intended to provide small scale
convenience shopping and a limited range of services to residents. Limited infill or expansion of a
Historic Commercial centre may be supported if the development is sensitive to the historic
character of the centre, and is compatible in use and form with the surrounding areas. This
proposal fulfills the objectives of the OCP as stated above.
Zoning Bylaw:
The proposed C-1 (Neighbourhood Commercial) Zone is compatible with the subject property's
Commercial (Historic) OCP designation. The current proposal complies with the C-1 Zone
(Neighbourhood Commercial), with the exception of a variance requested to reduce the front yard
setback from 7.5 m to 6.6 m for the existing building. A variance is also requested for the
Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, to waive the requirement for
underground wiring on 232nd Street. The recommendation to waive this servicing requirement is
supported in Council Policy 9.05 "Conversion of Existing Overhead Utility Wiring to Underground
Wiring".
Off -Street Parking Bylaw:
The Off -Street Parking Bylaw No. 4350 - 1990 requires 1 parking stall per 30m2 gross floor area,
resulting in a requirement of 9 parking stalls for the current proposal. The application includes 22
parking stalls, which provides 13 parking stalls in excess of that required by the Off -Street Parking
Bylaw No. 4350 - 1990. The current development site shares a reciprocal relationship with the
-3-
Blacksheep Pub, located across the road. The excess parking will, therefore, be used to supplement
the existing pub parking. A Restrictive Covenant, securing the Blacksheep Pub's parking, is to be
registered on title prior to final rezoning.
Development Permits:
The current application is subject to a Commercial Development Permit as outlined in Section 8.5 of
the Official Community Plan. Adherence of this project to the guidelines of this permit will be
provided for Council in a future report.
Advisory Design Panel:
The project as proposed was reviewed and generally accepted by the Advisory Design Panel on
October 14, 2008. The plans have been revised to address the comments raised by the panel.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was held on Tuesday, November 23, 2009 at Yennadon
Elementary School. As per Council Policy 6.20, invitations were mailed to qualifying property
owners, advertisements were placed in the local paper and a notice was attached to the
development sign on site. Approximately 6 people attended the meeting with 3 comment sheets
returned and 1 faxed to the Planning Department. The comments received at the Development
Information Meeting were positive in nature;
• It was felt the proposal was very attractive and would be a nice improvement to the
neighbourhood.
• The parking stalls designated for the pub are appreciated.
• The landscaping is very nice and minimal to reduce vandalism.
The letter faxed to the Planning Department commented that the proposal will have a drastic effect
on the neighbourhood. The writers felt that the increased commercial use would create unwanted
congestion and tension. It was also felt that there was not adequate parking for the proposed
commercial units and the outdoor patio would create undue noise.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
A Rezoning Servicing Agreement and servicing estimate will be prepared once an acceptable offsite
servicing design has been provided by the developer's engineer. Road dedication is not required;
however, the developer will be required to construct the required road improvements within the
existing road allowance.
4
Parks & Leisure Services Department:
The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the development is completed
they will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. In the case of this project there will be
street trees planted within the boulevard; final civil drawings will provide exact numbers. The
Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that the maintenance requirement of $25.00 per
new tree and their budget must be increased accordingly.
Fire Department:
The Fire Department has no concerns with this development proposal.
e) School District Comments:
No comments have been received from a referral sent to School District No. 42.
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, 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.
The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial Plan/Capital Plan and the Waste
Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that first reading be given to Maple Ridge OCP Amending Bylaw 6687 - 2009 and
Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6688 - 2009 and that application RZ/080/08 be forwarded
to Public Hearing.

b) Project Description:
The applicant is proposing to rezone two areas of the site located in the northeast corner at 256
Street. The northern area of 4.0 hectares is to be zoned M-2 (General Industrial) to permit a
concrete plant, and retail sale of concrete and concrete products, and the southern area of 2.0
hectares is to be zoned M-4 (Extraction Industrial) to permit gravel processing. This represents
approximately 4.6 % of the total area of the property (129.3 ha or 319.5 acres). The property is
currently zoned A-2 (Upland Agricultural) and P-5 (Corrections and Rehabilitation) and is designated
Rural Resource, Conservation, Park and Institutional. The institutional use on the property is a
vacant building once used as a youth detention centre. The property is a 129.3 hectare site located
on 256 Street. It extends to the west side of the Alouette River and includes a portion Alouette
Road. It is located west of the Municipal gravel pit, south of the Fraser Regional Correctional Centre,
and north of the Alouette River Correctional Centre.
A BC Hydro transmission line right-of-way crosses the northern end of the property, including
crossing a portion of the area to be zoned M-2 (General Industrial). The owner has received a
Compatible Use Notice from BC Hydro with specific conditions which, among others, allow gravel
extraction within the right-of-way, but restrict the location of the concrete plant to outside of the
right-of-way. The owner has a BC mines Permit for a sand and gravel pit on the property, and has a
Soil Removal Permit issued by the District of Maple Ridge.
A Watercourse Protection and Natural Features Development Permit is required. An environmental
assessment, arborist report and geotechnical report have been received and an environmental
monitor has been retained.
-3-
The north end of 256th Street has long been identified as having significant gravel deposits.
Successive OCP's have recognized the value of this non renewable resource. Most recently the OCP
adopted in November 2006 reaffirmed that gravel should be considered for removal prior to
development. In 2000 a Gravel Strategy was adopted which reaffirmed a commitment to the
historical amounts of gravel to be removed from the area until an alternative route to 256th Street is
developed and this was reaffirmed in the 2006 OCP. The Soil Removal Bylaw, as amended in 1997,
set the historic levels for gravel extraction in Maple Ridge of 300,000 m3 per year. The historic
levels are allocated by Schedule A of the District's Soil Removal Bylaw No. 6398-2006. The Bylaw
assigns the maximum annual amount. among three properties. The amount assigned to this
property is 50,000 m3 per annum. The Soil Removal Bylaw has other requirements such as hours
and days of operation, mitigation noise and drainage considerations.
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The subject property is designated Rural Resource in the Official Community and is identified as
being in an area with potential gravel resources on Map Figure 3 Major Public Utilities. The OCP
policies identify that Rural Resource lands are intended to provide for a range of industrial uses.
Given that this proposal is to rezone to M-2 (General Industrial) and M-4 (Extraction Industrial) which
are intended to provide for resource based industrial uses and primary processing, the proposal is
consistent with the land use designation in the Official Community Plan.
There is also recognition in the OCP that access to the 256th Industrial Area is limited, and an
alternative access is required before gravel extraction can exceed historic annual levels. Policy 6-53
reads as follows:
"The gravel reserves in the Rural Resource area at the north end of 256th Street will be
considered for use prior to development of the industrial potential. However, before any
additional gravel extraction traffic occurs, beyond historic levels, alternative access needs to
be developed to prevent impacts on the residential character of the neighbourhood."
Based on the above policies, providing that gravel extraction on the property will not exceed the
historic annual level for the area, the proposed rezoning from A-2 (Upland Agricultural) to M-2
(General Industrial) and M-4 (Extraction Industrial) is consistent with the policies contained in the
Official Community Plan.
The subject portions of the site are proposed to be rezoned from A-2 (Upland Agricultural) to M-2
(General Industrial) and M-4 (Extraction Industrial) which are consistent with the list of zones for the
Rural Resource land use designation, as prescribed in Appendix C "Zoning" in the Official
Community Plan.
Figure 5, Long Term Multipurpose Trail Plan, of the OCP identifies the need for a trail across this site
from 256 Street to Alouette Road. The remnant of an earlier equestrian trail is located near the
northern edge of the property, generally under the BC Hydro lines between 256 Street and Alouette
Road. With this application, the future trail location will be determined and protected by a right-of-
way. The portion of the trail that is located within the area to be zoned will be constructed. When
the remainder of the site is rezoned for development, the remainder of the trail will be built.
Zoning Bylaw:
The applicant is proposing to rezone two areas of the A-2 (Upland Agriculture) zoned property. The
northern area (4 ha) is to be zoned M-2 (General Industrial) to permit a concrete plant, retail sale of
concrete and concrete products, and the southern area (2 ha) is to be zoned M-4 (Extraction
Industrial) to permit gravel processing. The applicant will be extracting gravel from the property.
Gravel processing will occur in the proposed M-4 (Extraction Industrial) zoned area and concrete
manufacturing will occur in the proposed M-2 (General Industrial) zoned area. Site Plan is attached
as Appendix C.
With this application, the trail equestrian location will be protected by a 6 metre wide statutory right-
of-way and the portion of the trail that is located within the area to be zoned will be constructed.
Park dedication for the equestrian trail will be required with future development of the site. Park
dedication for watercourse and natural features protection will be required with future development
of the site but will be protected from gravel extraction by a covenant at this time. A Road
Reservation agreement will be required for the portion of Alouette Road that crosses this property.
Development Permits:
As per Sections 8.9 and 8.10 of the Official Community Plan, a Watercourse Protection and Natural
Features Development Permit will be required for the preservation, protection, restoration and
enhancement of the natural environment and natural features on the site outside of the areas to be
developed for the concrete batch plant and the gravel crushing area. A Security will be taken as a
condition of the issuance of the Development Permit to ensure that the Development Permit Area
guidelines are met.
As per Section 8.6 of the Official Community Plan, a form and character Industrial Development
Permit will not be required for the development of the subject property as it is located outside the
Urban Area boundary.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was hosted by the applicant on August 26, 2008, 5:00 -
6:3Opm at Webster's Corner Elementary School. Approximately 30 people attended and following
are excerpts from the minutes provided by the applicant:
• The applicant outlined the proposed development as a small ready mix plant on the 4 ha site
and gravel crushing on the 2 ha site.
• There will be a right-of-way from the west side of the site to 256 Street on the east for a horse
trail. Only the trail adjacent to the M-2 site would be built now and the balance would be
built after the gravel had been extracted and the site reclaimed.
-5-
• Concerns were raised regarding pollution from the ready mix plant. The operator (Ready Mix)
explained that the new regulations allow no dust to be released from the plant. The
applicant said that silt run off from the gravel surfaces would be directed to sediment control
areas, including natural in ground seepage pits, overland flows to undisturbed ground west
of the zoned area, and a man-made sediment control pond for the gravel crushing area.
• The applicant said the closest residence is approximately 0.8km south of the site on 256
Street. The noise from the crusher should be fairly minimal.
• The owner pointed out that he has a permit to remove 50,000 cm of material from the site per
year. The new zoning will allow him to process the gravel on the M-4 area and produce
concrete and cement products on the M-2 area. The applicant said the traffic on 256 Street
will therefore be minimal.
• One of the residents said that he and majority of the people present were opposed to this
application until the traffic issue on 256 Street is resolved.
• The general opinion of those present seemed to be that an alternate route should have been
determined and included in the OCP from 2 years ago. Some pointed out that another route
would impact other residences, that gravel is already coming from Coquitlam and Mission,
that it would be better to produce gravel within the District. The owner pointed out that
gravel was being imported from Mission and trucks already travel 256 Street to deliver to
the ready mix plant north of this site.
• A resident noted that improvements to Webster's Corner were promised by the District when
the District's property (gravel pit) was rezoned and nothing has happened.
• There were several complaints about the time and advertising of the meeting. Some residents
wanted another meeting prior to the public hearing.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department has identified that mast arm luminaire street lights are required on
256 Street, and a septic disposal system is required. A rezoning servicing agreement is required for
the construction of the equestrian trail within the area to be zoned M-2 (General Industrial),
approximately 147 metres.
A Soil Removal Permit has been issued to the owner for this property for a maximum of 50,000 m3
of gravel to be removed for the year. Conditions of the permit include erosion and sediment control
measures.
Parks & Leisure Services Deoartment:
A 6 metre wide statutory right-of-way will be registered across the property from 256 Street to
Alouette Road for the future use of an equestrian trail. The applicant will construct approximately
147 metres of the trail across the north end of the area to be zoned M-2 (General Industrial). Trail
Plan attached as Appendix D.
-6-
e) Intergovernmental lssues:
Ministry of Energy and Mines
A Mines Act Permit was issued on December 1, 2003. The permit is still valid and was provided with
a number of conditions that still apply.
BC Hydro
BC Hydro has approved a Compatible Use Permit for the proposal and provided the following
conditions:
• No part of the proposed may come within 10.0 metres of BC Hydro structures.
• You will comply with the special conditions attached to this consent. The special conditions
form part of this consent, as follows:
o This approval is limited to the area between structures 137/1 and 137/2.
o The maximum height of vehicles and equipment permitted within the right-of-way is
4.1 metres. Stacked concrete pipes should also not exceed this height. The
equipment stacking the pipes must not encroach within 20 feet of the conductors.
o No part of the concrete plant is permitted within the right-of-way.
o There must be no gravel extraction within 10 metres of the BC Hydro structures.
o BC Hydro requires erosion remediation. We would like to see grass (or the
equivalent) see put on the right-of-way where the ground' has been sloped away from
the structures. This will be discussed at the on-site meeting.
o Any other infrastructure on the right-of-way not shown on the plans submitted must
be approved separately (lighting, wiring piping, etc.).
o You are responsible for all costs of design alterations, protection and/or relocations
of existing BC Hydro's works which may be required. Please contact Brian Kilvert,
Field Operation s Manager, Lower Mainland Transmission at 604-590-7651 for
additional information.
o Any below ground works must be designed, constructed and buried to withstand
vehicle weight of not less than 43,000 kg (42 tons).
o If the Proposed Concrete Pipe Storage and Vehicle Parking impacts or interferes with
any present or future BC Hydro works, you shall, at your expense, relocate the
Proposed Concrete Pipe Storage and Vehicle Parking to an alternate location
approved by BC Hydro, upon receiving not less than 90 days prior written notice from
Hydro.
o Metal fences in the right-of-way should be grounded.
f) Environmental Implications:
The area to be rezoned is in the northeast corner of the property which is the highest point of the
site. The property generally slopes down to the west and south from there. The western portion of
the property has numerous creeks and significant slopes on the east side of Alouette Road. Erosion
and sediment control plans have been provided by the engineer for the areas to be developed. An
environmental assessment, arborist's tree review, and geotechnical report have been received and
an environmental monitor has been retained. A Watercourse Protection and Natural Features
Development Permit is required.
-7-
CONCLUSION:
The proposed development is consistent with the District Gravel Study and with the Official
Community Plan land use designation of Rural Resource for gravel resource extraction and
processing. Therefore, it is recommended that this application and the accompanying zone
amending bylaw proceed to Council for first reading and forwarding to Public Hearing.

20288 113B Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An Industrial Development Permit Area application has been received for the above -referenced
property to permit the construction of the third phase of the Advanced Mini Storage business. This
application is subject to the Industrial Development Permit Area Guidelines as outlined in the 2006
Official Community Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal DP/084/08 respecting property located
at 20288 113B Avenue.

b) Project Description:
The purpose of the proposed Phase 3 development is to provide more indoor storage area for the
current operation. The Phase 3 development includes an addition to each of the two existing
buildings on the site, as well as a new building at the rear of the site.
A two-storey addition of 9,525 ft2 is proposed to be constructed on the south end of Building A. The
office on the north side of the building facing 113B Avenue will remain as the main entry for the
entire development. The proposed addition to Building B is a two-storey addition of 9,998 ft2 on the
south end of the building. Building C is a new two-storey building of 20,073 ft2 at the rear of the
site.
Landscaping, provided along the property lines, is to be consistent with the current development, as
well as, the neighbouring industrial properties. Landscaping provided along the southern property
line is to act as an acoustical and visual barrier between the subject property and the residential
neighbours to the south.
c) Planning Analysis:
The land is currently zoned M-3 (Business Park) and is located within the District's Industrial Park
area in west Maple Ridge, therefore, a rezoning application is not required. The properties located
at 20288 113B Avenue and 20240 113B Avenue have been consolidated prior to issuing an
Industrial Development Permit.
The Industrial Development Permit Area Guidelines did not apply at the time of the first two phases
of this project; however, they will apply to the current application as outlined in the 2006 Official
Community Plan.
-2-
The Key Guideline Concepts for this Development Permit Area, and the provisions made by the
applicant for such, are as follows:
1. Provide a street presence with entrances and architectural interest in building designs fronting
public streets.
• This third phase of development consists of additions to the existing storage buildings. The
additions have inserted articulation highlighted with spandrel glass and referenced by
elevated parapets.
2. Loading facilities should be located away from public streets and into the rear or the interior of
a site.
• While some of the unit doors face the street, the vast majority are internal to the site. Those
that do face 113B Avenue are screened by perimeter landscaping, as in phase 1 and 2.
There are no large, dedicated truck loading facilities fort this development.
3. Outdoor storage and less attractive structures such as accessory buildings should be screened
with fencing or landscape.
• There is no longer outdoor storage areas or accessory buildings associated with this
development.
4. The transportation needs of diverse users should be accommodated through amenities such as
bicycle facilities, and accessible design for the mobility impaired.
• A bike rack and parking space designed for people with disabilities are located near the
office building.
5. The form and treatment of new buildings should reflect the desired character and pattern of
development in the area by incorporating appropriate architectural styles, features, materials,
proportions, and building articulation.
• This third phase of development repeats the patterns of the existing buildings, with the
exception of the added architectural features, as described in the Advisory Design Panel
section below.
Zoning and Parkin and Loading Bylaws
The proposed development plans are in keeping with the provisions of the Zoning Bylaw No. 3510-
1985 and Off -Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No. 4350-1990. No Bylaw variances are required.
- 3 -
Restrictive Covenants and Statutory Rights of Way
A number of restrictive covenants and Statutory Rights of Way are registered against Title to these
lands, as well as other lands in the Industrial Park. The restrictive covenants were placed on these
lands at the time of rezoning and subdivision in the 1990's. The covenants include:
• Floodplain Elevation;
• Design and Servicing;
• Drainage and Stormwater Detention; and
• Acoustical Barrier Abutting Residential Zones;
The covenants will remain on Title, with the exception of the Design and Servicing Covenant which
was required in place prior to the area being designated a Development Permit Area. The lands
have now been established as a Development Permit Area under the Official Community Plan, which
requires all proposals within the designated areas to comply with the requirements as outlined
above. The Design and Servicing Covenant can, therefore, be removed from Title by the owner as
the Development Permit Area Guidelines will now regulate design and servicing of the subject site.
The Acoustical Barrier Covenant is to be addressed through the planting of a Landscaping Acoustical
Barrier; plans of which have been submitted. A Landscaping Acoustical Barrier was considered
appropriate, as it is intended to be more appealing to the neighbouring residents than other
acoustical barrier techniques, and the intended use of the property will not be noise intensive. This
barrier, with its accompanying security fence, is identical to the barrier used in Phase 1 and 2.
The Statutory Rights of Way, registered on the subject property, are for municipal works and BC Tel
access. All Statutory Rights of Way will remain on Title.
d) Advisory Design Panel:
The proposed project was reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel on October 14, 2008, at which
time the following resolution was passed:
That the following concerns be addressed by the applicant and submitted to planning staff:
• Address the extensive length of the buildings and provide simple points of reference along
the buildings.
The new additions begin with inserted reveals highlighted with spandrel glass and referenced by
elevated parapets. These full setbacks have glazed aluminum panel systems above overhead
doors. These spandrel windows are then repeated further down the length of buildings at their
center points and again at the opposite ends. They also provide points of reference that these
are two-storey buildings. At these setbacks, the parapet walls are increased in height to provide
points of reference that these are the beginnings of the new additions. The parapets then
continue to vary in height along their length to enhance and define the new portions of the
buildings.
-4-
• Address potential security issues on the internal roads.
Access to the internal roads will be restricted to tenants by a chainlink fence and secured by a
coded gate. An extensive network of security cameras as well as ample lighting will be installed.
The lighting adjacent to the residential zone will be of a lower intensity and directed downwards,
so as not to disturb the neighbours. Each locker is also individually alarmed and monitored.
• Provide alternate native species for ground covers with habitat value.
Upon further review of the landscape plan, the landscape architect on the Advisory Design Panel
was satisfied with the proposed ground covers.
• Ensure municipal stormwater requirements are met.
Stormwater requirements will be addressed at the Building Permit stage.
• Ensure fire truck access complies with Fire Department requirements.
The Fire Department did not raise any concerns regarding truck access.
e) Financial Implications:
A refundable security equivalent to 2.5 % of the estimated value of construction will be provided by
the developer to ensure that the development, including the landscaping, is carried out in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Development Permit. Based on an estimated
construction value of $4,820,000.00, the security will be $120,500.00.
There will be four street trees added to the municipal street tree inventory on completion of this
phase of the project. The costs associated with maintaining these trees will need to be included in a
subsequent operating budget.
f) Alternatives

SUBJECT: Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic Bylaw No. 6704-2009
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic Bylaw No. 6704-2009 is a bylaw to regulate uses regarding
roadways within Maple Ridge. The bylaw is an update of the existing bylaw that addresses a number
of issues that have emerged. To bring this bylaw into force, the existing Maple Ridge Highway and
Traffic Bylaw No. 3136-1982 and subsequent amending bylaws will be repealed.
A draft bylaw has been prepared and is submitted to council for three readings. A public consultation
process will be initiated as the next step.
The updating of this bylaw fulfils a work plan item of the Engineering Department and addresses
issues identified by other departments.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic Bylaw No. 6704-2009 be given first, second and third
readings.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
The Engineering Department identified in its work plan the task of updating the current
Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic Bylaw No. 3136-1982.
Over the past years, a number of amendments have been made to the existing bylaw. In
recent years, as amendments were made, staff posited that an updated bylaw should be
drafted to reflect more current language and uses of the transportation network and that
emerging enforcement issues be also addressed in a new bylaw.
As a result, staff of Licenses, Permits and Bylaws and Engineering with the assistance and
advice of the municipal solicitors have worked to prepare an updated bylaw.
The changes from the existing bylaw are included as Table 1.

Summary of issues addressed in
Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic Bylaw No. 6704-2009
b) Desired Outcome:
To obtain Council's approval to adopt Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic Bylaw No. 6704-2009
and repeal Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic Bylaw No. 3136-1982 and amending bylaws.
c) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The bylaw update incorporates relevant text changes, additional regulations and restrictions,
as well as, updated and expanded fees related to impoundment of vehicles and other
obstructions that unlawfully occupy a highway. An Open House will be held to provide
information on the bylaw.
d) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The preparation of Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic Bylaw No. 6704-2009 fulfills an
Engineering Department work task identified in the department business plan.
The financial implications of the bylaw relate primarily to fee increases to cover costs and
expenses incurred in the administration and enforcement of the bylaw. The fee schedule
(Schedule "B") is directed by the ICBC Towing and Storage Rate Payment Schedule in that
ICBC is the industry authority on the setting of these types of fees and charges.
e) Policy Implications:
The adoption of Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic Bylaw No. 6704-2009 will improve the
District's ability to operate, regulate, manage and enforce more effectively and efficiently, as
well as, addressing the District's on-going commitment to continuous policy improvement.
This bylaw and Maple Ridge Maple Ridge Ticket Information Utilization Amending Bylaw No.
6620-2008 prepared by the Licenses, Permits and Bylaws Department are intended to be
complementary and for this reason both bylaws are being forwarded concurrently.
f) Alternatives:
To continue to operate under the terms and conditions of Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic
Bylaw No. 3136-1982 and subsequent amending bylaws recognizing that in so doing the
enforcement of the terms and conditions of the bylaw will in some respects continue to be
challenging/problematic to staff.
CONCLUSIONS:
That the Engineering and Bylaw Departments have updated the existing bylaws to reflect operational
and enforcement needs and recommend adoption of Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic Bylaw No.
6704-2009 to address current issues and operational considerations.

and Members of Council FILE NO:
Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: COW
SUBJECT: Amendments to Maple Ridge Ticket Information System Utilization Bylaw No.
4432-1990
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Community Charter allows municipalities to enforce municipal bylaws through Municipal Ticket
Information. A number of the District of Maple Ridge bylaws are currently enforced by means of a
Municipal Ticket.
The legislation governing Municipal Ticket Information now gives the District the authority to ticket
fine to an amount not exceeding $1000.00 without requiring the approval of the Chief Judge of the
Provincial Court of British Columbia. Bylaw Enforcement staff are recommending that Municipal
Ticket Information for certain offences under the new Highway and Traffic Bylaw be supported.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Maple Ridge Ticket Information System Utilization Amending Bylaw No. 6620 - 2008 be given
first, second and third readings.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
The District of Maple Ridge has been enforcing a number of municipal bylaws by means of
Municipal Ticket Information since 1990. Once a ticket is issued the offending party has 14
days to dispute the ticket at Provincial Court. If a ticket is not disputed the offending party is
deemed convicted and is responsible for payment of the ticket to the District of Maple Ridge.
Should the ticket remain outstanding for an extended period of time, the District may petition
the court for a payment hearing where an agreement for payment is worked out between the
parties and the Court or forward the outstanding fine amount to a collections agency.
b) Desired Outcome(s):
The enforcement of bylaws by a Municipal Ticket Information is one tool which Bylaw
Enforcement staff utilizes in order to gain compliance with municipal bylaws. Municipal
Ticket Information can also be used as a less expensive alternative to prosecuting under the
Offence Act for an offence against a District bylaw.
1107
c) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The Municipal Ticket Information for certain offences under the Highway and Traffic Bylaw
are being recommended in order to encourage citizen compliance with these bylaws.
CONCLUSIONS:
Changes to the Community Charter have provided the opportunity for local governments to set ticket
fines of up to $1000.00 without requiring the approval of the Chief Justice. Staff is of the opinion
that fines will encourage compliance with District bylaws.

SUBJECT: CPR Holiday Train - Friends In Need Food Bank
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A request has been received from the Friends In Need Food Bank to use municipal streets for the
CPR Holiday Train event on Friday, December 18, 2009.
Authorization from Council is required in accordance with the "Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic By-
law 3136-1982" to allow the event to occur in Maple Ridge.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT use of municipal streets be authorized for the CPR Holiday Train event on Friday December
18, 2009, provided the conditions outlined in Schedule 'A' attached to the staff report dated
November 18, 2009 are met.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background:
The Friends In Need Food Bank is requesting permission to use municipal streets on Friday
December 18, 2008, for their CPR Holiday Train event. The event is a food donation
presentation from the CPR Holiday Train to the Friends In Need Food Bank. The event will
take place on River Road and would require road closure on River Road, from 223 Street to
the Haney By-pass. The detour would re-route traffic to 223 Street and Callaghan Avenue
onto the Haney By-pass. The road closure is scheduled from 7:00 pm to 9:15 pm. A map
showing the location is attached.
b) Strategic Plan:
Permitting of Maple Ridge street events promotes community development and often
highlights Maple Ridge's natural and built features.
c) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Permission to use municipal streets may cause some delays and inconveniences to other
road users. However, traffic control will be provided by the event organizers.
1108
In addition, the organizers will be distributing an information letter to affected businesses
and residents.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
The road use permit establishes that the event organizer must obtain the approval of RCMP,
for traffic control and must notify the Fire Department and BC Ambulance Services as well as
coordinate with Coast Mountain Bus Company (transit service).
e) Business Plan Implications:
The Business Plan recognizes that the District processes requests for use of municipal
streets as part of its services. The financial impact of the specific road use is limited to staff
processing effort.
fj Policy Implications:
Permission to use municipal streets is grantable under the District's policy practices.
g) Alternatives:
The District could refuse to permit the event to occur. In this event, the organizer would
have to cancel the event.
CONCLUSIONS:
From time to time, the District is requested to allow the use of municipal streets for various events
and activities. Permission is requested for the annual CPR Holiday Train event - Friends In Need
Food Bank and conditions of Schedule 'A' are attached.

District of Maple Ridge
TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin DATE: November 17, 2009
and Members of Council FILE NO:
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Committee of Whole
SUBJECT: Fire Department Dispatch Agreement
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Surrey Fire Department has provided dispatching services for the Maple Ridge Fire
Department, under five year renewable contracts, since 1995. Over the past fourteen years the
services provided by the City of Surrey Fire Department have proven to be far more economical than
providing our own dispatch services and are considerably less expensive than quotes provided from
an alternate provider. The Surrey Fire Department has been very proactive in upgrading the services
it has provided over this period and has evolved to include the afterhours dispatching of the
operations center. The current five year contract expires as of December 31st 2009 and a new five
year contract has been submitted for the period ending 2014. The new contract contains a 2.5 %
increase in cost each year over the five year term. Should conditions change in the future this
contract may be terminated with six months notice by either party.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council authorize the Corporate Officer to enter into a five year contract with the City of Surrey
Fire Department to provide Fire Department and after hour's operations dispatching services, as
outlined in the staff report dated November 17, 2009.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
Computer aided dispatch has become an integral part of the Fire Department emergency response.
The City of Surrey Fire Department has provided this service to the Maple Ridge Fire Department
since 1995. During this period the department has renewed several five year contracts and has
been very satisfied with the services provided by the City of Surrey Fire Department. The depth and
complexity of services provided in the dispatch area has greatly increased over this period and
Surrey fire department has been very responsive and cooperative in meeting,our needs. Over the
past fourteen years, alternate methods of providing the dispatch services have been explored and no
other alternative was able to match the cost effectiveness provided by the Surrey Fire Department.
The inclusion of a six month cancelation clause also reduces the risk of a long term commitment
should a more economical method of service delivery develop in the future.
1131
b) Strategic Alignment: This contract is in line with council's desire to have an effective and
efficient delivery of emergency services
c) Citizen/Customer Implications: The citizens will receive a sophisticated computer aided
dispatch service that will support the effective and efficient delivery of fire department
emergency services.
d) Business Plan/Financial Implications: The current cost for dispatching services is
$69,073.00 for fire dispatching and $10,930.00 for afterhour's operations dispatching for a
total of $80,003.00. The proposed five year contract indicates a 2.5% increase in cost for
each of the five years. This would represent an increase of approximately $2000.00 per year
over the five year term of the agreement. The financial plan will be amended to
accommodate this added cost.
CONCLUSIONS:
The City of Surrey Fire Department has provided effective and cost efficient computer aided dispatch
services to the Maple Ridge Fire Department for the past 14 years. All indications are that the same
services enjoyed over the duration of the past contract will continue to be provided under the terms
of the proposed new five ypAr contract. s coupled with a six month cancelation clause, support
entering into a new five year,4) tract w he City of Surrey for the provision of dispatching services.
