The site is located within the Blaney Hamlet of the Silver Valley Area Plan, on the south side of Gilbert Drive. This application is subject to the Multi -Family Development Permit Area Guidelines as outlined in the 2006 Official Community Plan. RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal DP/048/09 respecting properties located at 23150, 23140, 23120, 23100, 22980, and 22956 Gilbert Drive. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Insignia Homes Silver Valley Ltd Owner: Insignia Homes Silver Valley Ltd Legal Description: Lots 57, 61, 65, 68, 75 and 78, Section 32, Township 12, NWD Plan BCP41713 OCP: Existing: Medium Density Residential Proposed: Medium/High Density Residential Zoning: Existing: CD-3-98 (Comprehensive Development) Proposed: RST-SV (Street Townhouse - Silver Valley) Surrounding Uses North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: CD-3-98 (Comprehensive Development) Designation Low Density Urban 1101 South: Use: Zone: Designation: East: Use: Zone: Designation West: Use: Zone: Designation Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Access: Servicing: Previous Applications: b) Project Description: Townhouse, Street Townhouse RM-1 (Townhouse Residential), RST-SV (Street Townhouse - Silver Valley) Medium/High Density Residential Single Family Residential CD-3-98 (Comprehensive Development) Medium Density Residential Single Family Residential CD-3-98 (Comprehensive Development) Medium Density Residential Vacant Street Townhouse Gilbert Drive Full Urban RZ/110/08, SD/051/08, SD/048/09 The applicant is proposing to develop 21 fee -simple Street Townhouse units in six buildings zoned RST-SV (Street Townhouse - Silver Valley). The new RST-SV (Street Townhouse - Silver Valley) zone received final reading from Council on October 27, 2009 with rezoning application RZ/110/08, which included this development. The site is located within Haney Hamlet of the Silver Valley Area Plan and is designated Medium/High Density Residential. These street townhouse buildings are designed to have the appearance of a townhouse while also providing a more individualized style for each unit. A vertical trim board separates each unit and each has its own complimentary siding colour to further emphasize the boundaries of each home. Two building colour schemes are incorporated to provide greater variation in the streetscape. Both colour schemes are coordinated to blend in with the present colour theme of the neighbouring single family homes, also built by Portrait Homes. The buildings have a 2 storey street frontage and 3 storey rear elevation, designed to step down the slopes from front to back. Each unit is provided a prominent front entrance, a double garage, and all have additional parking space on the driveway. The front landscaping has been enhanced to provide the maximum amount of vegetation between the driveways. There are also rock gardens for stormwater management that have been incorporated into the overall landscaping for each building. Each unit has a fully fenced private rear yard with a tree, and additional landscaping to further separate the patios. A 1.5m wide access easement is provided around the building, with gates between each rear yard, to allow the central unit owners to access their rear yards externally. This is primarily provided to allow owners to bring landscaping material and outdoor equipment in and out of their rear yards. A second covenant will require all owners of attached units to work and share costs cooperatively together for exterior building maintenance. This type of covenant will be necessary because these units are fee simple units, rather than strata units, and the exterior finishes are continuous across the building elevations. -2- c) Planning Analysis: A Multi -Family Residential Development Permit is required for all new multi -family development (three or more dwelling units per building) in an area with an Area Plan. Although the proposed development is considered a multi -family development, the street townhouse units are fee -simple (i.e. no common property) and some guidelines will not apply to this type of development. Multi -Family Development Permit Area: This property is subject to the guidelines of Section 8.7 Multi -Family Development Permit Area Guidelines of the Official Community Plan that aims to regulate the form and character of development located within this area. Although the proposed development is considered a multi- family development, the street townhouse units are fee -simple (i.e. no common property) and some guidelines will not apply to this type of development. This development respects the key guideline concepts as outlined in this section: 1. New development into established areas should respect private spaces, and incorporate local neighbourhood elements in building form, height, architectural features and massing. This street townhouse development will be situated in an area of new single family development by the same developer. The development carries through with compatible size, design elements and colours from the surrounding houses. Each unit is provided with private outdoor space. 2. Transitional development should be used to bridge areas of low and high densities, through means such as stepped building heights, or low rise ground oriented housing located to the periphery of a higher density developments. This street townhouse site is part of a larger development by the owner which includes a variety of residential lot sizes and housing types. These units provide a transition between the single family housing and the larger strata townhouse site to the south. Consideration has been given to the transition in density, housing types and protection of privacy. The project has been designed with the two storey elevations located towards the adjacent single family homes. 3. Large scale developments should be clustered and given architectural separation to foster a sense of community, and improve visual attractiveness. This project is not a large scale development but the buildings are designed and located to best suit the sloping topography of the site. The buildings are located in 2 groupings on the south side of Gilbert Drive and are 21/2 storey wood -frame structures with 3 to 4 units per building. The building height, architectural features and colours are consistent with the surrounding single family homes. Eck 4. Pedestrian circulation should be encouraged with attractive streetscapes attained through landscaping, architectural details, appropriate lighting and by directing parking underground where possible or away from public view through screened parking structures or surface parking located to the rear of the property. These street townhouses are located on fee simple lots so there is no common property as would be found in a strata development. The front landscaping has been enhanced to provide the maximum amount of vegetation between the driveways. Each unit has a fully fenced private rear yard with a tree, and additional landscaping to further separate the patios. Each unit has a prominent front entrance, a double garage, and all have additional parking space on the driveway. d) Advisory Design Panel: The proposed project was reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel on August 11 and Sept 8, 2009. On August 11, 2009, the Panel commended the applicant on the quality of their presentation and choice of materials but wanted the applicant to return to the design panel to address the issue of providing individual expression to these units. The Panel would also like the applicant to address the following items: 1. Returning the stone base at the ends of the units or substantially increasing the planting in these areas for screening of the existing siding. 2. Provide a greater variation between proposed color schemes. 3. Provide a greater variation between color or tone between the different types of vinyl siding. 4. Provide more planting through the front yards. 5. Integrate the storm water and landscape planting design. 6. Add room for planting between rear patios. On September 8, 2009 revised plans were presented to the Panel by the applicant. The Panel supported the application as presented but also suggested that the applicant reconsider the termination of the vertical trim elements at ground level adjacent to garage doors. The applicant has revised this feature to the satisfaction of the Planning Department. e) Financial Implications: A refundable security equivalent to 100 % of the estimated cost of landscaping will be provided by the developer to ensure that the development is carried out in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Development Permit. Based on estimated landscaping costs, the security will be $72,855.97. There will be 9 trees added to the municipal street tree inventory on completion of this project. The costs associated with maintaining these trees will need to be included in a subsequent operating budget. -4- CK1LIfAIRKILA As the development proposal complies with the Multi -Family Development Permit Area Guidelines of the Official Community Plan for form and character, it is recommended that DP/048/09 be given favourable consideration.

The specific non farm use is for a garden suite on the subject property. Currently, the Zoning Bylaw permits detached garden suites within the Agricultural Land Reserve, but recognizes that Commission non -farm use approval would first be required. A garden suite is similar in scale and impact to a secondary suite, which is an outright permitted use under Commission policies. However, a detached residential unit (garden suite) does not meet the conditions of the Commission policy, and these uses can only proceed with the expressed consent of the Commission. This report recommends that this application be forwarded to the Commission. In addition, this report recommends that staff be directed to collaborate with the Commission in the preparation of acceptable guidelines for similar applications that may occur within the District in order to expedite their approval. RECOMMENDATION: The following resolutions are provided for Council's consideration: a) That the application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission; and b) That staff be directed to work with the Commission to prepare guidelines in order to expedite the approval process for similar applications that may occur in the future. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Daniel T Wardrope Owner: Daniel T Wardrope & Jeanette Wardrope Legal Description: Lot: 19, Section: 29, Township: 12, Plan: 32791 OCP: Existing: Agricultural Proposed: No change 1102 Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Proposed: No change Surrounding Uses North: Use: Rural Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation Agricultural South: Use: Vacant recreational land (municipal ownership) Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Park in the Agricultural Land Reserve East: Use: Farm and Rural Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Agricultural West: Use: 2 properties, farm and rural residential use Zone: one property RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential), one property split zoned A-2 Upland Agricultural and RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Agricultural Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Site Area: Access: Servicing: b) Project Description: Rural Residential No change 0.829 HA (2 acres) 2241h Street Community water and septic The applicant proposes to build a two storey accessory detached structure to the principal residence. The ground level of the structure will be a garage. The second storey of the structure will include the residential unit. c) Planning Analysis: This proposal will be analyzed for its consistency with District bylaws and the policies of the Agricultural Land Commission. Official Community Plan. The concept of detached garden suites was first identified in the Maple Ridge Official Community Plan, adopted on November 14, 2006. The plan noted that pending further study, garden suites could assist the community in meeting objectives such as community infill and providing more affordable housing as an alternative to secondary suites. Recognizing that a non farm use application would be required, preliminary discussions with the Agricultural Land Commission indicated support for these residential units if constructed as a second storey to a permitted accessory building, as opposed to a stand alone detached structure. WA Zoning Bylaw. On November 4, 2008, Council gave Final Reading to the bylaws to allow Detached Garden Suite uses on residential properties. The bylaw notes that the approval of the Agricultural Land Commission would be required prior to permitting this type of residential development within the Agricultural Land Reserve. Pertinent excerpts from the Zoning Bylaw are summarized as follows: Where permitted a Detached Garden Suite Use: • Must be limited to one unit per residential or agriculture zoned lot, where there is one family residential use; • Properties 0.4 hectares (1 acre) or greater in area or properties with lane access may have a Detached Garden Suite above an accessory residential structure or Off -Street parking structure; • Must be located within the rear yard of a one family residential use; • Must not be permitted where there is a Secondary Suite use, Temporary Residential use, Temporary Tourist use, Boarding use or Accessory Employee Residential use on the same lot. The subject property is 0.829 hectares (2 acres) in size and therefore a two storey accessory structure with residential above would be permissible under the bylaw. For better utilization of the site, the applicant proposes to construct the building within the front yard of the subject property, which is not permitted, and will require an application to the board of variance in order to proceed. However, this variance is supportable as locating this use within the front yard will assist in maintaining a compact homeplate, thereby reserving most of the site for agricultural purposes. If a variance is granted, the siting of the structure would have to comply with the 7.5 metre front yard setback for the RS-3 One Family Rural Residential Zone. In this instance, the principal dwelling has a front yard that exceeds 20 metres in depth, and therefore the siting of a parking structure that complies with these requirements is possible. The applicant's conceptual site plan is attached to this report as Appendix B. Policies of the Agricultural Land Commission Policy # 8 of the Agricultural Land Commission permits within the Agricultural Land Reserve a secondary suite for residential purposes. The Commission defines a secondary suite as "an area set aside for residential use, within the footprint of a single family dwelling, and secondary or ancillary to the residential use of that single family dwelling". As this proposed use will be within a detached accessory structure, the conditions of Policy #8 will not be met. However, Commission Policy #19 states: It is the Commission's policy that construction of a residence includes accessory buildings, structures, services, utilities and landscaping requirements. The Commission recognizes garages, carports, workshops, sheds, water lines, wells, sewer lines, sanitary disposal systems, power conduits, reasonable landscaping and driveways as buildings and services normally associated with the construction of a residence. -3- This proposed use will be within the footprint of a permitted accessory structure, and will therefore not exceed the total building envelope. On this basis, the application is supportable to be forwarded to the Commission for their consideration. It should be noted that as the Zoning Bylaw would not allow both a secondary suite and a detached garden suite on the same property, and given the size restrictions placed on detached garden suites, the intent of the Commission policy would not be undermined by allowing this application to proceed. Establishing Guidelines for Detached Garden Suites within the Agricultural Land Reserve As noted, the Zoning Bylaw permits detached garden suites within the Agricultural Land Reserve, if approved by the Commission. Discussions with Commission staff indicates such applications would be supported as a substitute for secondary suites, which the Commission permits. For the benefit of future applicants, it may make sense to review this issue in greater depth, in order to establish conditions that the Commission would find acceptable for permitting this use instead of a secondary suite. The intent of such a review would be to determine acceptable conditions for the scale and siting of this residential use in order to avoid having to commence each proposal with a non farm use application. A possible process would be for the Commission to pass a resolution that gives the District of Maple Ridge the authority to issue building permits for this purpose. Additional Considerations Should this application be successful, the applicant will be required to meet the conditions of the Zoning Bylaw for detached garden suites. The subject property is 100 % within the floodplain of the Alouette River and flood construction levels will be a consideration in allowing this proposal. Situating the residential unit above the first storey will assist in meeting this objective. The property is served by community water and the applicant will have to demonstrate capacity for septic disposal for this additional unit. A natural features development permit would be triggered by this development. d) Alternatives: This application is supportable for forwarding to the Commission because it proposes an accessory residential use that would remain within the footprint of an accessory building for the principal dwelling. Although it does not meet the prescribed conditions for a secondary suite (it is not contained within the principal residence) it does appear to meet the intent of the Agricultural Land Commission policies for additional residential uses. Council has the option of denying this application from proceeding to the Commission for their approval. If this application is denied, the applicant has the option to revise this proposal to comply with Commission Policy #8 by meeting more explicitly the Commission's definition for a secondary suite. CONCLUSION: Based on the considerations as outlined in this report dated January 21, 2010, it is recommended that this application for a detached garden suite within the Agricultural Land Reserve be forwarded to the Commission for their consideration. In anticipation of similar applications that may occur in the future, it is recommended that staff be directed to prepare guidelines that would be used within -4- these guidelines and provide a general resolution to allow the District to proceed with applications that comply. This resolution would eliminate the need for each application to receive Commission approval for a non -farm use.

A public request for proposals to supply the two trucks resulted in six submissions being received. Following a review and detailed analysis of the submissions, it is recommended that the contract to supply the trucks be awarded to Harbour International Trucks. RECOMMENDATION: That the contract for the purchase of two Single Axle Low Profile Recycling Trucks with Fort Fabrication Body be awarded to Harbour International Trucks and further that the District of Maple Ridge enter into a Contract to purchase the two units for $286,506.88 including warrantee and optional items plus applicable taxes of approximately $34,380.82. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Public Request for proposals closed on January 19, 2010 for the supply of two Single Axle Low Profile Recycling Trucks. Six proposals were received, five of which met the tender requirements. Following a detailed assessment of the submissions the proposal submitted by Harbour International Trucks provides best value for the District of Maple Ridge. b) Financial Implications: Funds are allocated from the Fleet Replacement Reserve, and approved Capital Budget. Total Purchase price for the Units is $286,506.88 including warrantee and optional items plus applicable taxes of approximately $34,380.82. Should Council award the contract, delivery date will be after implementation of the proposed HST, whereby the District will benefit from being able to recover a greater percentage of taxes than we can at the present time. A trade-in versus redeployment option is being considered and will be finalized at time of delivery depending on existing vehicle condition. 1103 CONCLUSION: The awa_r[_of thi(contract to supply the two trucks is recommended.
