The proponent has made a rezoning application for 24160 125 Avenue to rezone from RS-3 (One
Family Rural Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to allow for a future 2-lot
subdivision.
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official
Community Plan and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will need
to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a
further report will be required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot
boundaries and yields, Official Community Plan designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require
application for further development permits.
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The subject property is designated Estate Suburban Residential and the proposed RS-2 (One Family
Suburban Residential) zoning complies with this land use designation.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to permit a two (2) lot single family
subdivision.
Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance
Permit application.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
In order to advance the current application, after First Reading, comments and input, will be sought
from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below:
a) Engineering Department;
b) Operations Department;
c) Fire Department;
d) Parks Department;
-2-
The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application
progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above.
This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time;
therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. We anticipate that this
evaluation will take place between 1st and 2nd Reading.
e) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by
Development Procedural Bylaw No. 5879 - 1999 as amended:
1. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B);
2. Subdivision Application, as per attached requirements.
The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the
assessment of the proposal progresses.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) zone is in compliance with the Estate
Suburban Residential designation of the Official Community Plan. It is recommended that Council
grant First Reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No.6736 - 2010 subject to additional information being
provided and assessed prior to Second Reading.
The proposed layout has not been reviewed in relation to the relevant bylaws and regulations
governing subdivision applications. Any subdivision layout provided is strictly preliminary and must
be approved by the District of Maple Ridge's Approving Officer.

SUBJECT: First Reading
Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6642 - 2009 and
Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6643 - 2009
22600 136 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property from A-2 (Upland Agricultural) to R-1
(Residential District) and RST (Street Townhouse Residential), to permit the development of 38
single family units and 2 four-plex street townhouse buildings. The proposed RST (Street
Townhouse Residential) zone received 3rd Reading from Council in 2008 on two different Rezoning
applications (RZ/070/06 and RZ/093/06) on development sites to the southeast of this site.
However, those two projects have been delayed and should they be further delayed or not proceed
this application could be stalled without the adoption of the RST (Street Townhouse Residential)
zone. To avoid this delay, it would be appropriate to proceed with a duplicate RST (Street
Townhouse Residential) zone bylaw with this project so that whichever application proceeds to final
reading first will adopt the bylaw. The bylaws that do not complete can simply be closed.
The proposed development is consistent with the Silver Valley Area Plan policies for Eco-cluster
residential development in the Official Community Plan. This application requires an amendment
to the Official Community Plan to designate portions of the site for Conservation, and to amend
the trail location. A Natural Features Development Permit is required for the protection of steep
slopes and some significant trees on the site. Significant views to the north and west will be
provided through approximately seven view corridors between some of the buildings that will be
protected by a restrictive covenant to prevent obstructions within the corridors.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6642 - 2009 be given first
reading and be forwarded to Public Hearing;
2. That in accordance with Section 879 of the Local Government Act opportunity for early and on-
going consultation has been provided byway of posting Official Community Plan Amending
Bylaw No. 6642 - 2009 on the municipal website and requiring that the applicant host a
Development Information Meeting, and Council considers it unnecessary to provide any further
consultation opportunities, except by way of holding a public hearing on the bylaw;
3. That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6642 - 2009 be considered in
conjunction with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan;
4. That it be confirmed that Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6642 -
2009 is consistent with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan;
5. That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6643 - 2009 be given first reading and be forwarded to Public
Hearing;
6. That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading.
Registration of a Rezoning Servicing Agreement as a Restrictive Covenant and receipt
of the deposit of security as outlined in the Agreement;
ii. Amendment to Part IV, Figure 2 (Land Use Plan) and Figure 4 (Trails / Open Space) of
the Silver Valley Area Plan of the Official Community Plan.
iii. Registration of a geotechnical report as a Restrictive Covenant which addresses the
suitability of the site for the proposed development;
iv. Park dedication as required.
V. Pursuant to the Contaminated Site Regulations of the Environmental Management
Act, the subdivider will provide a Site Profile for the subject land.

• R-1(Residential District) to permit the subdivision of 38 lots; and
• RST (Street Townhouse Residential) to permit the subdivision of 8 lots.
The proposed RST (Street Townhouse Residential) zone received 3rd Reading from Council in 2008
on two different Rezoning applications (RZ/070/06 and RZ/093/06) on development sites to the
southeast of this site. However, those two projects have been delayed and should they be further
delayed or not proceed this application could be stalled without the adoption of the RST (Street
Townhouse Residential) zone. To avoid this delay it would be appropriate to proceed with a
duplicate RST (Street Townhouse Residential) zone bylaw with this project so that whichever
application proceeds to final reading first will adopt the bylaw. The bylaws that do not complete can
simply be closed. This applicant is proposing a similar form of fee -simple townhouse that will not be
bound together by a strata -title, but instead will be subdivided along the line that extends through
the party -wall and continues to the front and rear lot lines. An easement and maintenance
agreement will be registered on these lots at subdivision to ensure that all joint servicing and
maintenance issues are addressed prior to occupancy.
-3-
Significant views to the north and west will be provided through approximately seven view corridors
between some of the buildings that will be protected by a restrictive covenant to prevent
obstructions within the corridors.
Road access to this site will be by an extension of 136 Avenue, a collector road, from the east on the
Silver Ridge development. A lane south of Foreman Drive will connect with a lane on this site. When
the property to the south of this site (which is already under application to subdivide) proceeds with
their single family development, then 136 Avenue will continue through that site to connect with the
existing 136 Avenue and Foreman Drive intersection to the west of this site. The site is bounded on
the north and west sides by a rock bluff adjacent to Foreman Drive which prevents any access to the
site from Foreman Drive.
A Natural Features Development Permit is required for the protection of steep slopes and several
significant trees on the site. Two large areas will be designated as Conservation by the OCP
amendment and will be dedicated as Park at Rezoning. Both local roads on the site will loop around
a Parkette and several significant trees have been identified for retention within the Parkette areas.
Running concurrently with this application are a Subdivision application for 46 residential lots; a
Natural Features Development Permit for protection of slopes and trees; and a Residential
Development Permit application for the lots to be zoned RST (Street Townhouse Residential). The
applicant has requested a Development Variance Permit for some of the R-1 (Residential District)
zoned lots to reduce the front setbacks from 6.Om to 4.Om while maintaining the 5.5m front setback
to the garage face, to reduce the rear setbacks from 8m to 6m, and to vary the maximum height to
11.Om from 9.Om. These variance requests are similar to those proposed and approved on other
sites within the Silver Valley area. At the subdivision stage a Restrictive Covenant will be required for
proposed lots 15 - 17 in the northeast corner of the site to require specific building designs on the
sloping sites.
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
This Eco-Cluster development is at the west end of the Silver Valley Area plan on a sloping site with
views to the north and west. The application to develop this site was first made in 2002 and the
project design has evolved through various permutations resulting in the present configuration that
is consistent with the Silver Valley Area Plan policies for Eco-cluster residential development in the
Official Community Plan.
An Eco-Cluster is defined in the Silver Valley Area Plan as "a group of housing units, condensed
within clearly defined limits, surrounded by open space and linked to other parts of the Silver Valley
community by a single local road" and includes the following principles:
• Condensing housing clusters within clearly defined limits;
• Considering a variety of lot sizes and housing types within the overall site density;
• Proposing minimal site re -grading;
• Incorporating parkettes, which serve as green frontage for most units;
• Maximizing retention of existing vegetation;
• Limiting development to areas where existing grades are less than 20%;
-4-
• Natural open spaces are connected and continuous, creating wildlife corridors;
• Protecting environmentally sensitive areas through public ownership;
• Retaining and enhancing unique natural features, such as rocky knolls;
• Providing a variety of trails that ensure linkages and connections to surrounding
amenities.
The plan recognizes that the areas designated as Eco-Cluster often have steep slopes and the intent
is to encourage lots that take advantage of areas with slopes less than 20% grade by clustering
development in these areas and leaving the steeper sloped areas in a forested condition. This
development approach requires minimal site re -grading. The Plan vision is for a fairly rural type of
development that is sensitive to all aspects of the environment, including views, watercourses,
environmental features, tree preservation, and connected and continuous natural open spaces.
Parkettes are to be incorporated into the site plan as a frontage focal point for the housing unit
clusters.
This development site is located west of the Blaney Hamlet and is designated Eco-Cluster with 38
single family lots and 8 street townhouse units (two four-plex units) proposed. Approximately 24% of
the site will be dedicated as Park with an additional 9% for Parkettes. Within the Eco-Cluster
development, two looped roads are proposed and all units will front onto Parkettes and back onto
dedicated Park. Roads within Eco-Clusters are designated as Rural Local Roads in the Silver Valley
Area Plan. They are rural in character, adapted to the site topography, are relatively narrow, have a
sidewalk on one side and drainage swales where possible, and require pockets of limited parking on
pervious surfaces where possible. The road width and on -street parking requirements for this site
were carefully considered to meet the specific site conditions, the Silver Valley Area Plan road
standards, and the Engineering Department and Fire Department requirements. Driveways will be
grouped in pairs wherever possible to provide suitable areas for on -street parking.
Proposed amendment to the Official Community Plan:
Although the proposed development is in compliance with the policies of the Silver Valley Area Plan
of the Official Community Plan, an OCP amendment to designate portions of the site for
Conservation land use is required. Approximately 10,992m2 (2.7 acres) will be re -designated from
Eco-Cluster to Conservation. An OCP amendment is also required to delete a small portion of
proposed trail from the northeast corner of the site that is now redundant. With the development of
the Portrait Homes site to the east and northeast of this site, the trail network was revised and trails
have already been constructed throughout Portrait Homes' site, including a trail on the north side of
Foreman Drive adjacent to this site.
Densities:
The applicant has proposed an overall density of 9.8 units per hectare (upha) for the site, which is
within the range set for Eco-Clusters in the Silver Valley Area Plan (5 - 15 upha). The plan
encourages a variety of housing types within and between Eco-Clusters and the form of development
proposed here is 8 units in 2 four-plex street townhouse buildings to be zoned RST (Street
Townhouse Residential) and 38 single family homes to be zoned R-1(Residential District).
-5-
Zoning Bylaw:
There are two residential zones proposed for this development: R-1(Residential District) to permit
the subdivision of 38 single family lots and RST (Street Townhouse Residential) to permit the
development of 2 four-plex street townhouse buildings. The proposed single family lots range from
approximately 376 m2 to 1023 m2 and the street townhouse lots 231m2 to 373m2.
Proposed Text Amendment - RST (Street Townhouse Residential):
A new zone is proposed as part of this rezoning application to permit the development of 8 duplex
units. The Silver Valley Plan encourages a variety of housing types throughout Eco-Cluster
developments, but currently Maple Ridge does not have an existing zone that could easily
accommodate this type of development. In order to accommodate and encourage a variety of
housing types in Silver Valley Eco-Clusters, as part of the ongoing implementation of the Silver Valley
Area Plan, the RST (Street Townhouse Residential) zone was drafted and is attached for Council
consideration.
The zone is intended for use in the Eco-Cluster designated areas of Silver Valley Area only. It permits
a fairly large 223 m2 (2400 ft2) unit (excluding basement, garage and accessory building) either in a
duplex, triplex, or fourplex form, which is greater than the anticipated size of attached housing form
within the urban area boundary. Although rear lanes are encouraged in Silver Valley, the topography
can make this type of development difficult and therefore, the zone will allow both rear lane and
non -rear lane access.
The RST (Street Townhouse Residential) zone is intended to permit a "zero lot line" subdivision,
which will result in each owner having no common property between them. For such fee -simple
proposals, an easement will be required on the property titles prior to unit construction. The
easement will deal with issues relating to shared walls and will set out the terms under which each
owner will be required to cooperate.
Requested Variances:
The applicant has requested a number of variances that will be the subject of a future Council
report, but which are common requests in the past in Silver Valley. The relaxations are as follows:
• To reduce the front setback for R-1 (Residential District) zoned lots from 5.5m to 4m
for the building while retaining the 5.5m front setback to the garage.
• To reduce the rear setback for R-1 (Residential District) zoned lots from 8m to 6m.
• To increase the maximum height from 9m to 11m for the R-1 (Residential District)
zoned lots.
These variances are consistent with those approved for the "Silver Ridge" development to the east
of this site for dwellings on sloping lots of similar in design.
Development Permits:
A Residential Development Permit will be required for the RST (Street Townhouse Residential) lots
that will address the form and character of the design and provide guidelines for the development of
the site. 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.
W:2
A Natural Features Development Permit is required for the preservation, protection, restoration and
enhancement of the natural features on the site. The details are discussed in the Environmental
Implications section below. 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.
Advisory Design Panel:
The plans, design drawings and landscape plans submitted in support of the development permit
application were reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel at the March 10, 2009 meeting. The
Advisory Design Panel is in support of the general concept as submitted and provided the following
resolution:
That the development be supported with the following concerns to be addressed and
submitted to planning staff:
1. Ensure that the scale of the development more closely reflects that of single family
detached homes; this could perhaps be achieved by not mirroring the unit plans to
form two attached duplexes, but rather providing four equal steps in both plan and
elevation.
The applicant has provided revised plans showing more symmetry in the building
design, with individual finish details on each unit.
2. That the end elevations of each unit be addressed to increase the fagade.
The applicant has provided revised plans that achieve this requirement.
3. That the written comments of Panel member, Rory Dafoe, be addressed.
The landscape plans have been revised to provide additional planting in the rear
yards and exterior side elevation.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was held on January 22, 2009 for the Street Townhouse
development and the following are excerpts from the minutes provided by the applicant:
1. In general there were no concerns about the proposed land use.
2. A major concern was expressed by some residents of the Portrait Homes development to the
east that back onto the same lane that will extend onto this site. The plan calls for the lane,
which currently dead -ends with a temporary turnaround, to connect with this development.
The residents feel strongly that the lane will be used as a shortcut to reach Foreman Drive
and this will create serious safety issues and overuse of the 6m wide lane. They would like
to see an emergency access gate at the end of the existing lane. The Applicant pointed out
that if the District would accept this solution, a permanent "T" turnaround would be needed.
3. There were concerns by the residents of 136 Avenue (west of the site) regarding speeding,
increased traffic and safety. The applicant pointed out that 136 Avenue is a collector road
which, when fully developed, would have an 11m (36') wide carriageway and possibly a
traffic circle may be built at the intersection of 136 Avenue and Foreman Drive when the
property to the south is developed. Traffic from this site will exit through the existing 136
Avenue on the Portrait Homes development to the east and the applicant felt that the effect
of the additional traffic along 136 Avenue heading west will be minimal.
-7-
4. There were concerns about additional drainage and flooding issues. The applicant said that
all the drainage from this site would go northeast to an existing large detention biofiltration
pond within the Portrait Homes development.
5. The applicant stated that all trees in the park strip along the east property line would remain
in place and would only be removed if the arborist deemed them a hazard. However, some
small trees and brush will be removed on the east property line of proposed Lot 17 as the
District will be requiring a watermain to go through in a right-of-way.
6. The building designer described the proposed RST (street townhouse residential) units: that
they will be large fee simple units; and the units closest to the Portrait Homes development
will be buffered by a park strip with a stand of trees to be retained.
d) Environmental Implications:
A Natural Features Development Permit is required for the preservation, protection, restoration and
enhancement of the natural features on the site. The applicant has submitted an Environmental
Assessment, a Stormwater Management Plan, a Geotechnical Report and an Arborist Report for the
site.
The site slopes from the southeast corner down toward Foreman Drive (northwest). The site is
essentially a rocky knoll that is covered with shrubs and small trees. The unique topographical
features are the bedrock slopes and cliffs on the southwestern portion of the site, and the views to
the north and west. In some areas, steep sections of rock are exposed. No watercourses are
identified on or adjacent to the site. The area has been logged in the past and the trees on the site
are considered to be third growth naturally occurring revegetation. Selective tree retention is
proposed in a number of areas of the site. No rare, threatened, or endangered plant species are
likely to be found on the site because it has been disturbed.
Four separate areas of the site are proposed for Park or Parkette, with a total combined area of
1.5ha (3.7ac). In addition to the park land, environmental sensitive areas have been identified
along the rear of most of the proposed lots which will be protected by restrictive covenant.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department has identified that all the services required in support of this
development application do not yet exist on the site. It will therefore be necessary for the owner to
enter into a Rezoning Servicing Agreement and post securities to do the work identified in that
agreement prior to final reading. Comments provided by the Engineering Department include:
• A Professional Engineer must determine if the water system will provide acceptable pressure
and quantity and quality at subdivision.
Parks & Leisure Services Department:
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 46 trees which is based on one tree per lot. The final subdivision
design will provide exact numbers. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that the
maintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree will increase their budget requirements by
$1150.00.
f) School District Comments:
This project was referred to the School District, but no comments have been received.
g) 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, to amend the land use designation
boundaries, 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:
The lot geometry presented for the proposed Eco-Cluster development is aligned with the Silver
Valley Area Plan in that the design has achieved the clustering of units within distinct boundaries, a
rural character is maintained with lots facing a parkette and backing onto a Park, a variation in
housing form is provided, innovative stormwater management is being used, view corridors are
intact, and the protection of environmentally sensitive areas has been accomplished. A new zone is
accompanying this application to permit a street oriented fee -simple townhouse form of housing for
Eco-cluster developments in the Silver Valley area and to encourage a greater variation in housing
form as envisioned within the Area Plan.
It is recommended that first reading be given to Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending
Bylaw No. 6642 - 2009 and Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6643 - 2009 and that
application RZ/O54/02 be forwarded to Public Hearing.

The Haney -Pitt Meadows Christian School Association has been trying for many years to develop this
site for residential purposes with the object of using the proceeds to finance expansion of their
school program and facilities. They have sought to work with the lands to the south but the property
owners were not willing to develop at this time, as such, Haney -Pitt Meadows Christian School
Association wish to proceed on their own. The resulting road pattern and subdivision layout allows
improved access to their school, better neighbourhood traffic circulation and protects development
potential to lands to the south.
c) Project Description:
The applicant is proposing to rezone a portion of the subject properties to allow for 21 R-1
(Residential District) lots no less than 371m2 in area. A lane is proposed behind lots 7-11 for ease
of vehicular access and fire protection. The proposal also calls for the northern extension of 204B
Street connecting to 121B Avenue with the potential for the street to continue north to 122 Avenue
in the future. A small piece of land in the southwest corner of the park will be required for road to
make this future connection possible.
Ward Consulting Group was commissioned by the applicant to perform a traffic impact study of the
proposed development. The study was completed in 2006 using forecasts for 2008 and 2013. A
revision to the subdivision plan resulted in a revision of the traffic study in late 2007. The report
notes that the intersection separation on 203 Street and the lane/12113 Avenue intersection
location is acceptable. The report recognises that all school and resident traffic going to 203 Street
will do so along 121E Avenue and the report notes that there will be delays for traffic entering 203
Street from 121E Avenue but also states that a traffic signal is not warranted at the intersection.
The Engineering Department has reviewed this report and has not objected to the reports findings.
-3-
d) Planning Analysis:
Official CQmmunily Plan:
The site is designated Urban Residential and Institution. The proposed R-1 (Residential District)
zone correlates with the land's Urban Residential designation. The Official Community Plan
indicates that the subject properties are "Major Corridor Residential" because they do not lay within
the Regional Town Centre and has frontage on an existing Major Road Corridor (203 Street) as
identified on Figure 4. Major Corridor infill policies encourage the compatibility of the site design,
setbacks, and lot configuration with the existing pattern of development in the area. The
development as proposed is compatible in terms of building massing and type of dwelling units with
the surrounding residential properties.
The proposed subdivision and road layout required the OCP designations on the subject lands to be
realigned. The Christian school's "Institutional" designation needs to be extended westward to
encompass some of the current "Urban Residential" designation. A section of the road must be
removed from the "Institutional" designation and added to "Urban Residential". A section of park to
be removed from the "Park" designation must also be added to "Urban Residential" and
"Institutional" for the creation of the intersection between 121B Avenue and 204B Street.
The redesignations will ensure consistency between the proposed zoning amendments and the OCP
as amended.
Zoning Bylaw:
A preliminary review of the proposed subdivision plans in relation to the Zoning Bylaw requirements
has revealed the need for two variances. Without the lands to the south, the subject site is narrow.
To meet the minimum area, the proposed lots are wide and shallow, as opposed to being long and
narrow. The wide lot width is reflective of the existing lots to the north and should assist in housing
'fit'. As such, seventeen of the proposed twenty-one lots require a reduction of the minimum lot
depth of 24 metres to approximately 22 metres. Since the lots are not as deep as required, the
proponent also requires a variance to the rear yard setback for the centre block of lots.
As such, a Development Variance Permit application has been received to vary the following:
1. The minimum lot depth from 24 metres to approximately 22 metres for lots 1-8, 12-17 and
19-21; and
2. The minimum building setback 8 metres to 7 metres for lots 1-8, 12-17 and 19-21.
These variances will be reviewed in a future report to Council.
e) Development Information Meeting:
A development information meeting on February 18, 2008 from 4:30 pm to 7:30 pm at Maple Ridge
Christian School was held by staff from MRCS developments Ltd and Pacific Land Resource Group
Inc. There was a total of 15 people sign -in and 13 completed comment sheets. Although most
-4-
attendees were in favor of the project, two main issues were expressed at the meeting: increased
traffic and house design.
Traffic
There was some opposition from area residents who will see their private dead-end roads opened
up which will increase in traffic volumes. The Ward Consulting report notes that the road design is
acceptable and although there will be delays for traffic entering 203 Street from 121E Avenue, a
traffic signal is not warranted at the intersection.
House Design
There was a concern regarding basements in this neighbourhood. Because of groundwater and soil
types at this location, residences constructed at this site will not include basements. A restrictive
covenant registered on title will be a requirement of the subdivision prohibiting'the construction of
basements.
Consistency of housing was also a concern that was discussed at the Development Information
Meeting. The wide lots as proposed will allow for more consistency with the houses on the north
side of 121B Avenue.
f) Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department has identified that all of the services required in support of the
rezoning do not exist to the site. It will, therefore, be necessary for the applicant to enter into a
Rezoning Development Agreement and post the required security to complete the necessary works
prior to final reading.
Parks & Leisure Services Department:
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 21 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 maintenance
requirement of $25.00 per new tree will increase their budget requirements by $525.00.
Fire Department:
A referral was sent to the Fire Department and they have no concerns with the development as
proposed. The proposed road improvements will enhance emergency response to the school and
permit alternative access routes in case of emergencies in the neighbourhood.
g) School District Comments:
A referral was sent to School District No. 42 on February 25, 2008, no comments have been
received to date.
-5-
h) 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 this application be favourably considered and be given first reading and
forwarded to Public Hearing.

SUBJECT: Application to Exclude Land from the Agricultural Land Reserve
12353 264th Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received under Section 30 (1) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act
to exclude approximately 4.045 hectares (10 acres) of land from the Agricultural Land Reserve.
The Applicant's submission conforms with the notice of application requirements of the
Agricultural Land Commission.
RECOMMENDATION:
At their February 14, 2005 Workshop, Council resolved that the process for referring
applications for exclusion to the Agricultural Land Commission include the following options:
a) That the application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission;
b) That the application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with
a summary of Council's comments and the staff report.
Staff Recommendation:
That the application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission

264th Street
The subject property is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of 124th Avenue and
264th Street. It is adjacent to land designated Suburban Residential to its north and to its east
but is 100 % within the Agricultural Land Reserve.
The applicant's preliminary subdivision sketch indicates a proposal to develop the property to a
suburban residential standard. This use could not be .permitted under the Agricultural land use
designation or under the existing RS-3 One Family Rural Residential Zone of the subject
property. In order to realize this development, a rezoning application and an amendment to the
Official Community Plan would be required, which would trigger the need for approvals from
Metro Vancouver. Under its Agricultural land use designation, the subject property is within the
Green Zone of the Regional District. Any change to this designation would trigger the need to
amend the Livable Region Strategic Plan, and there is no guarantee that such an application
would be successful.
The property is within the vicinity of Mogley Creek, and for this reason, is within a watercourse
development permit area. Steep slopes are also noted on the site, which would trigger a natural
features development permit. These site constraints could impact the developable portion of
the site, and may affect the number of lots that could be created, if the application is successful.
One letter was received in response to this application that noted the required mitigative
measures on the property prior to development occurring if this application is successful.
Intended to ensure that agricultural capacity would be maintained on adjacent agricultural
properties, these suggested measures include:
• The installation and maintenance of buffer provisions and fencing to protect adjacent
ALR lands
-2-
• Storm water management
• Erosion and sediment control in the subdivision plan and all phasing of construction
• Notices of title to inform new residents of farm operations nearby.
c) Planning Analysis:
To assist Council in the decision of allowing this application to proceed further, this development
proposal will be reviewed in light of the policies of the Official Community Plan, the Agricultural
Plan, and on identified community need.
Official Community Plan Policies
The Maple Ridge Official Community Plan emphasizes the value of agriculture in contributing to
the local economy and to the rural character of the community. It is noted that Maple Ridge
agriculture faces considerable challenges, but there is consistent community support for local
farming. Policy 6-12 of the Official Community Plan states:
Maple Ridge will protect the productivity of its agricultural land by:
a) Adopting a guiding principal of "positive benefit to agriculture" when making land use
decisions that could affect the agricultural land base, with favourable recognition of
initiatives including but not limited to supportive non -farm uses, infrastructure
improvements for farmland, or the inclusion of land elsewhere in the Agricultural
Land Reserve:
b) requiring agricultural impact assessments (AIAs) and Groundwater Impact
Assessment of non -farm development and infrastructure projects and identifying
measures to off -set impacts on agricultural capability,
c) preserving larger farm units and areas by using appropriate buffers such as roads,
topographic features, watercourses, ditching, fencing, or gradually reduced
residential densities on properties adjacent to agricultural land;
d) discouraging the subdivision of agricultural land into smaller parcels, except where
positive benefits to agriculture can be demonstrated;
e) reinforcing the concept that the Agricultural Land Reserve is intended for agricultural
use by increasing the minimum lot size for ALR properties that are zoned Rural
Residential;
f) encouraging the amalgamation of smaller parcels of farmland into larger, more
cohesive parcels.
This application does not address this policy direction.
Agricultural Plan Policies
The Maple Ridge Agricultural Plan, adopted by Council on December 15, 2009, provided
additional direction for advancing agricultural opportunities in the District. Although adopted,
the specific actions related to the implementation of the Plan are currently being prioritized by
the Maple Ridge Agricultural Advisory Committee and will be presented to Council for
endorsement. Pertinent excerpts of the Plan are included below.
-3-
The Agricultural Plan recognizes that there may be situations in the future where exclusions may
be required to meet community needs, for example employment generating lands. Goals 5 and
6 of the plan recommend that, where land conversion is unavoidable, levies or other means be
established by the District in order to compensate for the loss of agricultural land. These
recommendations will be reviewed by the Agricultural Advisory Committee who will report back to
Council to recommend the implementation priorities of the Agricultural Plan. This application is
evaluated in the context of "Community Need" later in this report.
Issue 1 in the Agricultural Plan noted the difficulty faced by farmers in gaining access to
underutilized agricultural land. Specific issues included the following:
• Absentee landlords
• Agricultural land held in idle state
• Landless operators unable to find land to farm
• High land cost restricts access.
The Plan indicates that an appropriate means to address these issues would be to encourage non -
farming land owners to make idle land available to farmers or to start farming it themselves. The
Plan notes the need to re-emphasize the role of agriculture in the Agricultural Land Reserve and to
remove some of the perception that the Agricultural Land Reserve is a land reserve for eventual non-
agricultural development in the District.
Issue 5 of the Agricultural Plan discusses the loss of the agricultural land base and notes the
following specific issues:
• Many small parcels
• High level of rural residential incursion into Agricultural Land Reserve
• Non -farmed areas of the Agricultural Land Reserve tend to be smaller parcels
• Limited availability of irrigation water
• Continued conversion pressure from the District of Maple Ridge's urban growth
• Financial pressure on farming
Goal 13 emphasizes the need to ensure that land use designations in the Agricultural Land Reserve
reflect the primacy of agriculture as the highest and preferred land use.
Community Need
It is recognized that there may be justification for excluding land on the basis of community
need, and it would therefore make sense to evaluate this application within this context. The
intent of this application for exclusion is for the purpose of subdivision to suburban levels of
density, which in the District of Maple Ridge would mean 0.4 hectares or 1 acre.
On April 16, 2007 a report titled "Suburban Residential and Estate Suburban Residential Land
Use Designation" was reviewed at Council Workshop. The report explored the development
potential of residential properties outside of the Urban Area Boundary. Based on this
information, noting constraints such as topography and existing lot geometry, it was estimated
that the following additional lots could be created in the Suburban Residential Designation:
• 90 RS-3 zoned lots of 2 hectares could be created,
• 500 RS-3 zoned lots of 0.8 hectares could be created, or
• 1500 RS-2 zoned lots of 0.4 hectares could be created.
The Estate Suburban Designation, which is also outside of the Urban Area Boundary but within
the Fraser Sewer Area, was estimated in early 2007 to have subdivision potential for a range of
between 40 to 170 additional lots. It is acknowledged that municipal water connections would
be required to create RS-3 lots of 0.8 hectares. At the highest density, (RS-2 development), the
provision of community water would be required and a rezoning application from RS-3 to RS-2
would likely be required.
Municipal records for residential development outside of the Urban Area Boundary (including
Rural Residential) are as follows:
• 24 new lots were created In 2007;
• 9 new lots were created In 2008;
• 13 new lots were created in 2009.
These development statistics reveal that significant development potential remains in these
areas. On this basis, there is no apparent need within the community that would be met by
excluding these properties from the Agricultural Land Reserve, should this application prove to
be successful. The District's existing land inventories in Suburban and Urban designations could
satisfy a diverse range of housing demand for many years.
In evaluating this application in light of the policy direction contained with the Official Community
Plan and the Agricultural Plan, it is clear that the proposal is not consistent with these stated
goals. It is also important to consider that applications proposing to exclude land from the
Agricultural Land Reserve tend to encourage land speculation and investments in farm land by
non -farming interests. This tendency increases the competition for acquiring farmland, thereby
increasing its value, and making it more difficult for legitimate agricultural operators to acquire
land for this purpose.
Metro Vancouver
The subject properties are designated for Agricultural use under the Official Community Plan.
Any change in that use would require an amendment to the Official Community Plan, which in
turn would require the approval of Metro Vancouver to amend the Green Zone designation of the
subject property. This is known to be a lengthy process, and based on community need, there
appears to be little rationale for excluding land from the Agricultural Land Reserve for this
purpose. The Regional Growth Strategy is currently under review, and if adopted in the near
future, this application would need to address the new growth strategy.
%is
Nei all kiR9NLA
Council has been provided with options for processing this application. The report notes that the
applicant's proposal is inconsistent with the policies of the Official Community Plan, with the
Livable Strategic Plan, and with the recommendations of the Agricultural Plan. The District's
records indicated that there is no apparent community need that would be met by this
application. Based on this information, the staff recommendation is not to forward the
application to the Agricultural Land Commission.

SUBJECT: Municipal Equipment Purchase, One Street Sweeper and One Tandem Axle Dump
Truck
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The approved Financial Plan includes funding for replacement of equipment. A public Invitation to
Tender RFP OP10138 was advertised to supply a street sweeper and Tender ITT OP10 144 was
advertised to supply a Tandem Axle Dump. Following a review and detailed analysis of the
submissions, it is recommended that the contract to supply the street sweeper unit and accessories
be awarded to Cubex Limited, Surrey, BC. It is also recommended that the contract to supply the
tandem axle dump truck and accessories be awarded to First Truck Centre, Vancouver, BC
(Freightliner).
RECOMMENDATION:
That the contract for the purchase of one Street Sweeper complete with catch basin cleaner boom
attachment, and accessories be awarded to Cubex Limited, Surrey, BC and further that the District of
Maple Ridge enter into a contract to purchase the equipment for $187,042.05 including extended
warrantee and optional items plus applicable taxes of approximately $20,040.17.
That the contract for the purchase of one Tandem Dump Truck and accessories be awarded to First
Truck Centre, Vancouver, BC and further that the District of Maple Ridge enter into a contract to
purchase the equipment for $186,055.00 including extended warrantee and optional items plus
applicable taxes of approximately $22,326.60.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
A public Invitation to Tender closed on March 31, 2010 for the supply of one street sweeper
complete with accessories. Thirteen proposals were received, six of which met the tender
requirements. Following a detailed assessment of the submissions the proposal submitted
by Cubex Limited, Surrey, BC provides best value for the District of Maple Ridge.
A public Invitation to Tender closed on March 24, 2010 for the supply of one tandem dump
truck complete with accessories. Seven proposals were received, two of which met the
1105
tender requirements. Following a detailed assessment of the submissions the proposal
submitted by First Truck Centre, Vancouver, BC provides best value for the District of Maple
Ridge.
b) Financial Implications:
The expenditure is authorized in the 2010 Capital Budget and funds are allocated from the
Fleet Replacement Reserve. Purchase price for the sweeper unit is $167,001.84 including
warrantee and optional items plus applicable taxes of approximately $20,040.17. Purchase
price for the tandem dump truck unit is $186,055.00 including warrantee and optional items
plus applicable taxes of approximately $22,326.60. Should Council award the contract, and
delivery date is after implementation of the proposed HST, the District will benefit from being
able to recover a greater percentage of taxes than we can at the present time. Sweeper
being replaced will be disposed of at public auction. Tandem Axle Dump Truck being
replaced will continue as a reserve unit and the current reserve unit will be disposed of at
public auction.
CONCLUSION:
The award of the contract to supply the street sweeper and accessories is recommended.
The award of th44ntract to supply the tandem dump truck and accessories is
recommended. -----

2010 TransLink MRN Operation, Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program
Agreement
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As part of TransLink, the District receives annual funds for operation, maintenance and rehabilitation
(OMR) for the major road network (MRN) in Maple Ridge. TransLink has requested annual
agreements since 2002 to formalize the practices between the two agencies. OMR funds are
intended for normal operation and maintenance for pavement, shoulder, drainage, pedestrian
facility, street lighting, traffic signal, street cleaning, snow, ice and vegetation control, and
rehabilitation of the existing infrastructure.
Execution of the 2010 OMR funding agreement, as done annually in the past, will permit the District
to receive the funding for the year and to perform the work to provide safe and efficient mobility for
road users of the major road network in Maple Ridge. The 2010 agreement is attached for Council's
review and approval.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
THAT the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and execute the agreement titled Major Road
Network Operation, Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program Agreement No. 2010-11, as attached
to the staff report dated April 26, 2010.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
The District of Maple Ridge has been a member of TransLink since 1998. As a member of
TransLink, the District now receives over $800,000 annually for operation, maintenance and
rehabilitation (OMR) for the major road network (MRN) in Maple Ridge. The monies are provided
to the District as quarterly payments.
The 2010 OMR funding is $845,346.60 (up from $700,925.00 in 2009) and incorporates the
inclusion of 128 Avenue (Abernethy Way) as part of the MRN.
Intent of OMR Funds
The intent of the OMR funding is that TransLink provides basic funding. Municipalities retain
ownership of the roads, and perform necessary operation, maintenance and rehabilitation.
Municipalities are free to choose how best to deliver those services, whether through municipal
crews or contractors. 1106
106
The intent for the OMR funds include:
1. normal operation and maintenance, including pavement maintenance, shoulder
maintenance, drainage maintenance, pedestrian facility maintenance, street lighting
maintenance, traffic signal maintenance, road markings and delineation, signage, lighting,
signal operation, street cleaning, snow and ice control, and vegetation control;
2. rehabilitation of existing pavement; and
3. rehabilitation of other existing infrastructure (e.g., curbs, shoulders, pedestrian facilities,
drainage, street lighting and traffic signal systems, etc.).
Operation and maintenance activities that are allowed include:
• Pavement
• Shoulders
• Drainage
• Pedestrian Facilities
• Street Lighting
• Traffic Signals
• Signage
• Road Markings and Delineation
• Street Cleaning and Spill Response
• Snow and Ice Control
• Vegetation Control
• Administration
OMR funds are not intended to be used to construct new infrastructure, expand existing
infrastructure (e.g., widen existing roads), purchase equipment required for OMR activities, or
pay for work whatsoever on facilities that are not part of the MRN.
As part of the agreement, municipalities are required to provide TransLink with annual OMR
expenditure reports to be submitted by the end of March of the following year.
The purpose of the annual agreement is to:
a) show that OMR funds are, in fact, spent on the operation, maintenance and rehabilitation of
the Major Road Network;
b) confirm that sections of Major Road Network that are below standard are being rehabilitated;
and
c) identify trends and funding needs so that future adjustments can be made to categories and
allocations, where appropriate.
Municipalities are allowed to keep any unspent OMR funds in a reserve account designated for
future use in operation, maintenance and rehabilitation of the MRN only. The opening and
closing balance of the reserve are to be reported annually on the OMR expenditure reports.
As well, TransLink conducts regular pavement condition surveys of the MRN (every three years,
on average) to assess the pavement quality of the network.
Under the established guidelines, should municipalities allow pavement quality to degrade below
a pavement quality index (PQI) of 5.5, TransLink will reduce the OMR funding to that municipality
until the pavement that is "below standard" is upgraded. Currently, all Maple Ridge MRN roads
are above 5.5 (where 10 is the best and 1 is the poorest).
b) Strategic Alignment:
Financial Management
Council has directed that the municipality provide high quality municipal services to our citizens
and customers in a cost effective and efficient manner and to identify methods to generate non -
tax revenue. The use of TransLink funds leverages the general revenue contribution for road
maintenance and is a method to ensure a high level of service for road users of the MRN.
Smart Managed Growth
The Corporate Strategic Plan directs that municipal and infrastructure be protected and
managed through the preparation of appropriate plans to ensure maintenance of roads.
The District entered into agreement with TransLink in 1998 as part of its plans to ensure
adequate maintenance of the major roads in Maple Ridge. This annual agreement formalizes the
current practices that the District uses to manage the maintenance of the MRN.
c) Intergovernmental Relations/Partnerships:
Council has directed that the District develop and maintain strong positive working relationships
with TransLink and other governmental agencies.
The annual agreement is consistent with Council's direction and reinforces the relationship with
TransLink.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Maple Ridge residents and users of the Major Road Network expect that the investment in the
network be maintained to provide safe, reliable and efficient transportation of goods and people
using various transportation modes. Stable and adequate funding of maintenance and
rehabilitation activities is required to meet customer expectations. The agreement provides for
TransLink funding and support.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
The Operations, Engineering and Finance departments collaborate in the administration of the
TransLink agreement and the planning, operation, and maintenance of the major road network.
f) Financial Implications:
The 2010 District of Maple Ridge amount from TransLink for Maple Ridge MRN roads is
$845,346.60. This is an increase from 2009 (which was $700,925.00).
The $845,346.60 is comprised of the following:
$13,800/lane-km x 61.3lane-km (rounded) $845,346.60
Total $845,346.60
The funds received from TransLink are accrued and used for operating and maintenance
activities.
g) Policy Implications:
The recommendation is in accordance with the approved Council budget and the District's
membership in TransLink.
The District now receives approximately $845,346.60 annually for operation, maintenance and
rehabilitation (OMR) for the Major Road Network (MRN) in Maple Ridge and an annual agreement
formalizes the current practices between the District and TransLink. Execution of the 2010 OMR
funding agreement is required.

SUBJECT: Farmers Market Events at Spirit Square
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A request has been received from event organizers to use municipal streets for the Farmers Market
Events at Spirit Square on Saturday June 19, Saturday July 24 & Saturday August 28, 2010. A road
closure is required for these events.
Authorization from Council is requested to allow the events to occur in Maple Ridge.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT use of municipal streets be authorized for the Farmers Market Events at Spirit Square on
Saturday June 19, Saturday July 24 & Saturday August 28, 2010, provided the conditions outlined
in Schedule 'A' attached to the staff report dated April 19, 2010 are met.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
From time to time, the Municipality is requested to allow the use of municipal streets for
organized events. Unless there are some unusual safety implications, approval is usually
given on condition that the Municipality be indemnified against any liability for injury or
damage resulting from the event. The conditions of approval of the event are attached as
Schedule "A".
The Haney Farmers Market, which is held in Memorial Peace Park, is requesting permission
to close the area of 224 Street called "Spirit Square" for events to coincide with the Farmers
Market on Saturday June 19, Saturday July 24 & Saturday August 28, 2010, from 7:00 am
to 4:00 pm. The Farmers Market hours of operation are 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. There will be
manned barricades set up at each end of the bricked Spirit Square roadway. Haney Place
road surrounding Memorial Peace Park will remain open.
1107
b) Strategic Alignment:
Permitting of Maple Ridge street events allows the District to manage road infrastructure
and associated risks but yet allows events that promote community development and
highlight Maple Ridge's natural and built features.
c) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Permission to use municipal streets may cause some minor delays and inconveniences to
other road users. However, traffic control will be provided by the event volunteers. In
addition, the organizers have distributed 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
and Fire Department for traffic control and management and must notify BC Ambulance
Services as well as Coordinate with Coast Mountain Bus Company (transit service) on any
rerouting requirements.
e) Business Plan/Financial 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.
f) Policy Implications:
Permission to use municipal streets is grantable under the District's policy practices.
CONCLUSIONS:
From time to time, the District is requested to allow the use of municipal streets for various events
and activities. The event organizers have requested permission to hold this event on municipal
streets. I

Sorry to take so long, but I have no issues with the proposed road
closures. I'll see about the auxiliaries, and how many do you want
for red serge??

Hi Roland - I am not sure if you have had a chance to review our plans
for MR Canada Day. Once we have your approval (we have the Fire Dept's
via Mark Smitton) then we can proceed with our application to
Engineering for Road closures.
If you are still working on the other elements - could you respond to
the road closure piece first and we can follow up later re red serge
and auxillary police for the barricades. Thanks,
Sincerely,

HI Roland and Mark - Now that we have the Olympic events behind us,
Canada Day is only 3 months away. Can you please look at the planned
site map/road closures for Canada Day which will be on Thursday, July
1, 2010 and let me know if you approve. It is the same as last year -
we didn't change anything. The whole event will take place in Memorial
Peace Park and Spirit Square.
Roland - in addition can you please let me know if auxiliaries will be
able to assist with the barricades and if we can have red serge at the
event as well? Our event runs from 10-4. I would be happy to meet
with you if you have any questions. Thank you.

Shouldn't be a problem this year either. The barricades are easily moved to allow access
as needed. Our only concern that occurred this year was from the Christmas parade
marshalling area that completely blocked the driveway entrance to our ambulance station.
That was resolved fairly quickly, and I don't see that being a problem with the Canada
Day event.

7th Annual Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation Fund Run
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A request has been received from the Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation to use municipal streets
for the 7th Annual Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation Fund Run on Sunday, June 6, 2010 from
9:00 am to 12:00 pm. Setup on site will start at 6:00 am. A copy of the request is attached.
Authorization from Council is requested to allow the event to occur in Maple Ridge.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT the use of municipal streets be authorized for the 7th Annual Ridge Meadows Hospital
Foundation Fund Run on Sunday, June 6, 2010, provided the conditions outlined in Schedule `A'
attached to the staff report dated April 26, 2010 are met.
1016*4061i.11 ►F
a) Background Context:
From time to time, the District is requested to allow the use of municipal streets for
organized events. Unless there are some unusual safety implications, approval is usually
given on condition that the District be indemnified against any liability for injury or damage
resulting from the event. The conditions of approval of the event are attached as "Schedule
A".
There are two courses: a 5 kilometer and a 10 kilometer. Both courses start and conclude at
Fairview Elementary School located at 12209 206 Street.
5 kilometer course: Participants travel south on 206 Street to Dewdney Trunk Road (DTR)
and travel west on the north side of DTR to 203 Street (the event coordinator will have
marshals along DTR to ensure participants stay on the sidewalk & curb). They will travel
north on 203 Street to 123 Avenue and travel east on 123 Avenue to 210 Street. They will
travel south on 210 Street to Wicklund Avenue where they will do a quick turnaround and
continue south on 210 Street to DTR and travel west on DTR to 206 Street and continue
north to Fairview Elementary where the run will conclude.
1109
10 kilometer course: Participants travel south on 206 Street to DTR and travel west on the
north side of DTR to 203 Street (the event coordinator will have marshals along DTR to
ensure participants stay on the sidewalk & curb). Participants will travel north on 203 Street
to Sharpe Road (Pitt Meadows) and continue north to turn west onto the Dyke lane travelling
west until they reach the "turnaround point" and make a 180 degree turn. Runners will head
back travelling east on the Dyke lane turning south onto Sharpe Road, continue south to 203
Street. Runners will then head east on 123 Avenue to 206 Street and head south to
Fairview Elementary where the run will conclude.
The event organizers are requesting closure of 203 Street between 128 Avenue and 132
Avenue.
Preparation for this event will begin at 6:00 am and the race will start promptly at 9:00 am.
The clean up and finish of the event will be complete by approximately 12:00 noon.
b) Strategic Alignment:
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.
d) Governmental Implications:
The road use permit establishes that the event organizer must obtain the approval of RCMP
and Fire Department for traffic control and management and must notify BC Ambulance
Services as well as Coordinate with Coast Mountain Bus Company (transit service) on any
rerouting requirements.
e) Business Plan/Financial 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.
f) Policy Implications:
Permission to use municipal streets is grantable under the District's policy practices.
g) Alternatives:
The District could refuse to permit the run to occur. In this event, the organizer would have
to cancel the run.
CONCLUSIONS:
From time to time, the District is requested to allow the use of municipal streets for various events
and activities. The Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation Fund Run is requesting permission to hold
the 7th Annual Ridge Oeadows Hospital Foundation Fund Run event on municipal streets for 2010.

Please accept the following request to once again use the municipal sidewalks and streets

Fairview Elementary, St. John Ambulance services and appropriate insurance coverage (5
million liability) is being secured.
We will be forwarding all information to the Engineering Department for review upon

developed a new course for the 1 Ok route with the focus being on improving the safety of
participants and volunteers.
Clint will be in touch with you directly in regards to his suggestion of utilizing Auxiliary

Please do not hesitate to call, should there be additional information that you require.
Thank you so much for your time and consideration. This is sure to be our most

Thanks so much for the quick response. The documents will most likely be sent to you after Council approval. At this point we

We have lots of folks keeping their fingers crossed for good weather - and we've been pretty lucky most years. It's been a long

We've been very fortunate to have an Auxiliary presence at the event and we are grateful for their support. Thanks again.

Good afternoon Cheryl,
It was truly a pleasure speaking to you earlier yesterday regarding A&W Restaurants National
"Cruise for a Cause Day" August 26th, 2010. Cruisin' for a Cause nationally was a fantastic
success for its first year 2009. We ended up raising over $400,000 for MS, thrilled our
customers and staff, and gained great exposure for MS with news coverage across the country.
Locally one of the biggest classic car turn outs across Canada was Maple Ridge, over 500 classic
cars & over 2000 spectators turned out at the A&W Restaurant on 228th Street to support MS.
Our weekly classic car show on Thursday night is very successful, will get approximately 250
classic cars & over 700 spectators. With this in mind on the night of the "Cruisin' for a Cause"
will double our regular Thursday night car show for the support of Multiple Sclerosis.
To make this event day even better & more successful for MS I would like to close 228th street
from 3pm until 10:30pm August 26th, 2010. The reason for 228th street closure is to park the
over 500 cars with even more control for pedestrian crossing on 228th street from Valley Fair
Mall.Iwould _like to Itne_the classic cars at_ an_angle.fr_om. Lougheed Highway_to_De_wdney Trunk
Road or Lougheed highway to 119th Avenue. I would also.like the support of the Ridge

Meadows RCMP to help direct traffic on Lougheed Highway, 119th Avenue & Dewdney Trunk Road.
Alternate routes for traffic to go with 228th street closure would be 227th street or Burnett Street.
I am attaching 3 pictures from the Maple Ridge Cruisin' for a Cause day 2009 so you can anticipate
what it will be like but bigger in 2010.
Thanks for your time

Tourism Operator
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
DATE: April 29, 2010
FILE NO:
ATTN: Committee of the Whole
Since January 2010 Tourism Abbotsford has been overseeing provision of Tourism services for
Tourism Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. Their contract essentially provides day-to-day management
direction, payroll, and related services for the visitor services employee at the Harris Road Visitor
Centre.
Tourism Abbotsford entered into the contract on an interim basis to assist in Tourism Maple Ridge
and Pitt Meadows during the transition to a permanent operator, however they were clear from the
outset that they did not intend to become the permanent operator.
In April a Request for Expression of Interest (RFEI) was issued seeking a permanent operator to
deliver Tourism services - specifically to operate a regional Destination Visitor Centre and oversee
destination marketing. A copy of that RFEI is attached for your reference.
Kate Zanon of Pitt Meadows Economic Development Corporation and Sandy Blue, Manager Maple
Ridge Strategic Economic Initiatives have reviewed the submissions and interviewed applicants; and
are recommending that Duckworth Management LTD be awarded the contract to provide Visitor
services on a Fee for Service basis.
RECOMMENDATION(S): That the contract for the Provision of Tourism Services be awarded to
Duckworth Management Group LTD for a period of five years at $35,000 per year and further that
that Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the contract.
Desired Outcome:
Having a permanent operator in place with the expertise and connections needed is essential to
achieve our goals for regional Tourism. Awarding the contract to Duckworth Management LTD, a well -
established, experienced tourism industry operator will help us achieve the significant opportunity
that Tourism represents in our Community.
Duckworth Management LTD has a proven track record of results and community capacity -building
uniquely position them to deliver services and ensure growth in our Tourism sector.
1132
Timing and budget considerations:
Our interim agreement with Tourism Abbotsford expires on May 15, 2010 however they have agreed
to continue managing the employee payroll for Tourism Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows until June 1,
2010 thereby allowing time to negotiate the contract with the new operator and have them in place
for June 2, 2010.
The Pitt Meadows budget for Tourism ($35,000) has been transferred to the Pitt Meadows Economic
Development Corporation (PMEDC) budget. Accordingly, Kate Zanon CEO PMEDC will be negotiating
the Pitt Meadows contract with the operator.
The Maple Ridge annual contribution to Tourism remains at $35,000.
CONCLUSIONS: Maple Ridge is entering a time of unprecedented economic opportunity with the
opening of the new bridges and the forecast growth in the community. Accordingly, ensuring
continuity and strong leadership on the Economic Advisory Commission to Council will help ensure
that Maple Ridge citizens ultimately benefit from their knowledge, experience and advice.

Request for Expressions of Interest & Qualification
Contract: To operate our Regional Destination Visitor Centre and oversee our destination
marketing. Contract to begin as early as May 1, 2010. Contract period to be negotiated.
1. Background
Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows are neighboring communities within Metro Vancouver
(previously known as the Greater Vancouver Regional District); one of the world's most livable
urban regions. As such, these communities play an important role within the Pacific Gateway
offering regional access to the Northeast of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. Our
communities are home to the regional "Scenic 7" tour and the Circle Farm tour. Following the
opening of two new billion dollar bridge projects in 2009 — Golden Ears Bridge that linked to the
South and the communities of Langley and Surrey, and Highway 1; and the Pitt River Bridge
that linked to the West and destinations such as Coquitlam, Burnaby, New Westminster and
Vancouver - Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows will be truly accessible for the first time. Pitt
Meadows and Maple Ridge offer many outdoor and cultural amenities for visitors and are home
to dozens of festivals and events each year. The area offers unprecedented lifestyle
opportunities in a gorgeous setting of mountains, rivers, lakes and all the amenities that make
one feel at home.
The communities have recently developed a Sport Tourism Strategy and have recently formed a
Sport and Outdoor Recreation Council. Both of these initiatives are intended to help profile,
attract and manage an important segment of tourism specifically interested in the tremendous
outdoor recreation available here. This strategy will be something that will need to be
considered in developing the long-term tourism plan.
In March 2009 the Real Estate Investment Network (REIN) named our communities #2 for
investment in BC; and 'the place to live for lifestyle', the latter confirming what we have believed
for years. This report has brought heightened awareness to our region and we expect has the
potential to draw significant traffic from those wanting to explore the area.
The DRAFT Metro Vancouver Livable Region Plan that projects population growth for the region
to the year 2040, forecasts Maple Ridge population to grow to 134,000 and Pitt Meadows to
22,000.
The District of Maple Ridge...
Incorporated in 1874, Maple Ridge has a total land area of 266 square kilometers. The District is
located on the north shore of the Fraser River, between Pitt Meadows on the west and Mission
on the east. The current population of about 75,000 is projected to grow to 108,000 by 2021,
and 134,000 by 2041. Maple Ridge includes Institutional, Industrial. Commercial, Residential
and Agricultural land use. Maple Ridge has a designated Town Centre that offers incentives for
a revitalization and residential densification. Maple Ridge is home to famed Golden Ears
Provincial Park; and was official host community to the 2009 World Police and Fire Games
Triathlon event at Whonnock Lake. For more information about the District of Maple Ridge,
please see our website at www.ma lerid e.ca
The City of Pitt Meadows
Incorporated in 1914, Pitt Meadows has a population of just over 17,500, and is projected to
grow to 20,000 by 2021. About 15% of the City's 8,538 hectares consists of well -planned and
compact urban highland. There is a balanced mixture of residential, commercial and industrial
land uses in this part of the City. About 85% of Pitt Meadows is agricultural land. The
community has many opportunities for Tourism, especially as it relates to golf and outdoor
recreation (boating, bird watching, hiking, biking, canoeing and much, much more.)
For more information about the City of Pitt Meadows, please see our web site at
www.oittmeadows.bc.ca
Tourism Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows
Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows have jointly conducted tourism services for approximately nine
years. There is an established Tourism BC designated Visitor Centre on Harris Road as well as

recreation along with arts and culture opportunities within the region. The Visitor Centre has
been operating year round. Hours of operation from September to June are Monday to Friday
10:00 am — 4:00 pm and Sunday to Saturday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm for July and August. For more

Contract Award for Cliff Park Field Renovations
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The District of Maple Ridge issued an Invitation to tender to qualified contractors for the renovation
of the ball diamonds and soccer field at Cliff Park on March 26, 2010 via BC Bid. There were a total
of ten sealed bids received in response to the tender, ranging in price from $339,769.00 to
$589,000.00
Each of the bids was reviewed by a staff review panel and the project's landscape architect in
accordance with the established evaluation criteria, and have determined Cedar Crest Lands (BC)
Ltd. Is qualified to complete the work and is also the lowest bidder.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and execute the contract awarded to Cedar Crest
Lands (BC) Ltd. for the renovation of the soccer and ball fields at Cliff Park for the sum of
$339,769.00 excluding taxes.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
This project was originally tendered in 2009, however the quotes that were received at that
time exceeded the available budget. The renovations at this site will greatly increase the
playability of the ball diamonds and soccer field, as the surface has become quite uneven over
the years, and does not currently have drainage or irrigation systems. This renovation project
will result in expanded outfield areas for softball and a full sized divisional soccer field.
b) Desired Outcome:
The Parks and Leisure Services business plan identifies the need to completely renovate one
athletic field each year, alternating between Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows in each year of the
plan. This renovation program will ensure that sport fields in each of the communities remain
safe and playable for the growing number of players who use them.
I:\0100-Adm in istration\05 50-Co u ncil-Meetings\20-M R_Cou ncil\2010\Contract_Award_Cliff_Field_Renovations.do1 151
c) Strategic Alignment::
The provision of safe athletic surfaces capable of supporting the various team sports that are
played in our facilities through the entire season, without the need for field closures due to
poor growing or drainage conditions.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Renovating older sports fields at this frequency is greatly appreciated by the sports club
volunteers who manage the clubs, schedule teams, line the fields and also provide skill
development programs to youth players in the community.
e) Business Implications:
The funding for this renovation project was carried over from 2009. Additional funding has
also been identified in the 5 year capital plan to address some of the parking issues at the Cliff
Park site. The low bid price exists within the budget.
