Bosonworth Avenue
Municipal water and septic field
The subject property slopes from Bosonworth Avenue north to the Agricultural Land Reserve along
the northern property line. The property is currently serviced by well. The development directly to
the south of this property is providing a water connection for this property. The proposed lots will be
serviced by the coming municipal water. Road upgrades are also taking place along Bosonworth
Avenue to ensure adequate access for the proposed development.
Project Description:
The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to
RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to permit subdivision into four lots. The proposed lots will
be serviced by municipal water and onlot septic systems.
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:
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 25467 Bosonworth Avenue from
RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to permit subdivision
into four lots.
Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance
Permit application.
-2-
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the Official Community Plan, a Natural Features Development Permit
application is required for all development and subdivision activity to ensure the preservation,
protection, restoration and enhancement for the natural environment and for development that is
protected from hazardous conditions for;
• All areas designated Conservation on Schedule "B" or all areas within 50 metres of an
area designated Conservation on Schedule "B", or on Figures 2, 3 and 4 in the Silver
Valley Area Plan;
• All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 percent;
• All floodplain areas and forest lands identified on Natural Features Schedule "C"
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;
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 First and Second Reading.
e) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879 - 1999 as amended:
1. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B or Schedule C);
2. Watercourse Protection Development Permit Application (Schedule F);
3. Natural Features Development Permit Application (Schedule G);
4. 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.
-3-
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal is in compliance with the Official Community Plan, therefore, it is
recommended that Council grant First Reading subject to additional information being provided and
assessed prior to Second Reading. It is expected that once complete information is received, Maple
Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No.6867-2011 will be amended and an Official Community Plan
Amendment for Conservation boundary adjustment may be required.
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.

Servicing requirement: Full Urban
b) Project Description:
The subject site consists of a 3.7 acre lot, west of 236th Street in Silver Valley. The applicant is
proposing to rezone the subject property located at 23553 Larch Ave from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to R-1 (Residential District) and RST-SV (Street Townhouse -Silver Valley) to permit the
future subdivsion of 13 single family lots and 17 street townhouses in duplex and triplex design. An
easement and maintenance agreement will be registered on the street townhouse lots at the
subdivision stage to ensure that all joint servicing and maintenance issues are addressed prior to
occupancy. These street townhouse buildings are designed to have the appearance of a townhouse
while also providing a more individualized style for each unit. Concurrent applications include a
Subdivision application to create the proposed lots; Development Permit application to regulate form
and character of the street townhouse units; Development Variance Permit application for the
variance requested and a Natural Features Development Permit to protect, restore and stabilize
some portions of the land that have an average natural slope of greater than 15 percent.
This year a number of street improvement options involving Larch Avenue and 236th Street were
presented at the Council Workshop. This application includes the construction of part of Larch
Avenue. Staff is in discussion with the neighbouring property owner to advance the construction of
Larch Avenue from 236th Street.
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The development site is within the Silver Valley Area Plan of the Official Community Plan. The
development of Silver Valley is based on principles associated with achieving a complete community
with good pedestrian linkages. Within the Silver Valley Area Plan, the subject site falls between
Forest Hamlet and River Village. It is designated Medium High Density Residential in the Silver Valley
Area Plan. The proposed R-1 (Residential District) and RST-SV (Street Townhouse -Silver Valley)
zoning aligns with this land use designation.
Zoning Byla :
Two zones have been proposed: R-1 (Residential District) for 13 single family lots and RST-SV
(Street Townhouse -Silver Valley) for 17 street townhouses. The proposed R-1 (Residential District)
zone requires a minimum lot size of 371 m2; a minimum lot width of 12 meters and a minimum lot
-3-
depth of 24 meters. The proposed 13 single family lots comply with this and range in size from 372
m2 to 607 m2.
The minimum lot size, lot depth and lot width for the proposed RST-SV (Street Townhouse -Silver
Valley) zone depends on a rear lane access and lot location with respect to a street or lane (interior,
exterior or exterior lot on Street corner). All the proposed lots comply with the minimum lot size, lot
width and lot depth required for the proposed zone. The proposed RST-SV (Street Townhouse -Silver
Valley) zone also specifies that the common walls between units must be adjoined to the full length
of the interior side wall of the neighbouring unit. This requires a variance as stated below as some
units have been staggered.
Variances to the Zoning_L3ylaw:
The applicant is seeking the following variance to the RST-SV (Street Townhouse) zone:
• Variance to Section 601E (6.0) Setbacks (1) Interior Side: requiring the full length of the
interior side wall of the principal dwelling and garage is adjoined to the full length of a
neighbouring building. Lot 3, 4, 24, 25 and 26 (Appendix C) require a variance as they do not
comply with this requirement due to the staggered common party walls;
This will be the subject of a future Council report.
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Official Community Plan, a Multi -Family Development Permit
application is required to ensure the current proposal enhances existing neighbourhoods with
compatible housing styles that meet diverse needs, and minimize potential conflicts with
neighbouring land uses. A Development Permit application (DP/075/09) has been submitted for the
triplex unit on Lot 24 (Appendix C). This will be the subject of a future Council report.
Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the Official Community Plan, a Natural Features Development Permit
application is required for all development and subdivision activity for;
• All areas designated Conservation on Schedule "B" or all areas within 50 meters of an
area designated Conservation on Schedule "B";
• All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 percent;
• All floodplain areas and forest lands identified on Natural Features Schedule "C"
According to the District's mapping system, this property has an average natural slope of greater
than 15 percent. A Natural Features Development Permit application (DP/058/10) has been
submitted for review.
Advisory Design Panel:
On August 10, 2010 the Advisory Design Panel reviewed the proposal for form and character. There
were several concerns, questions and comments raised by the panel due to inconsistency in the
architectural drawings presented and unresolved issues about form, design, building code, and on-
!L!
site storm water management, erosion sediment control and drainage. The panel recommended the
following through a resolution:
The following concerns be addressed and digital versions of revised drawings & memo be submitted
to Planning staff; and further that Planning staff forward this on to the Advisory Design Panel for
information.
• Revise the drawings to ensure consistency between the renderings and drawings;
architectural, landscape and pencil;
• Landscaping plan be prepared indicating sidewalks, and street tree locations on Larch
Avenue;
• Resolve fire separation issues relative to form and character;
• Provide a roof plan showing resolution of roof slopes and drainage in relation to form and
character;
• These comments refer to the triplex plans however should be considered and reviewed in
relation to the duplex plans by the applicant.
The applicant has not completed the request of the Design Panel; several issues remain to be
addressed for the duplex units which will have a Design Covenant and for the triplex unit which will
be covered through a Multi -Family Development Permit. This will be the subject of a future report to
Council.
Dgvelopment Information Meeting:
In accordance with Council Policy 6.20 a Development Information Meeting was required for this
proposal as more than 21 units/ parcels are proposed. On August 11, 2010 the applicant and his
team of consultants held the "Development Information Meeting' at "Maple Ridge Eagles Hall",
23461 Fern Crescent from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. As per Council Policy 6.20, invitations were mailed to
qualifying property owners, advertisements were placed in the local paper and a notice was
attached to the development sign on site. All the proposed drawings were displayed for all interested
residents. This meeting was attended by approximately 16 people who had several comments and
concerns. Comments from this meeting were:
• Increased traffic on 236th Street and traffic impacts at the intersections of 1331d Avenue
and 236th Street; Fern Crescent and 236th Street. This included concerns over sidewalks;
• Schools in the Silver Valley area and this development further impacting the school
scenario;
• A preference to have more park area to accommodate the existing residents;
• Storm drainage on 236th Street with respect to previous flooding on the southern
property;
I&M
G Maintaining the Horse Trail on Larch Avenue, during and after construction and a desire
to keep it for multi -purpose use as a good access to the Shull Trail as the Greg Moore
Trail (north of 233rd Street) is not completed and open to public yet;
• Questions related to proposed lot value, unit value, construction timing, future
construction of Larch Avenue to the west and site servicing;
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Any neighbourhood concerns about this proposal may be expressed at the Public Hearing.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Depa_rtrnent:
The Engineering Department reviewed the proposal and determined that all the required off -site
services do not exist. The deficient services which are required to be provided through a Rezoning
Servicing Agreement include the following: road dedication for Larch Avenue, 233rd Street; off -site
upgrades like sidewalk, street trees, curb, gutter, etc. The Sanitary and Storm sewer needs to be
extended along Larch Avenue to the west of the boundary of the subject site. The municipal water
system must be reviewed by the applicant and upgraded if found inadequate for fire flow quantity
and pressure required for the proposed density.
Building Department:
The Building Department reviewed the proposal and has the following comments:
• Party walls between units must be constructed as firewalls and meet all the applicable BCBC
requirements for firewalls;
• Roof overhangs are not permitted to encroach beyond firewalls onto adjacent lots;
• Lots 3,4,24,25 and 26 proposing building faces that are offset from the adjacent units must
be non-combustible construction with non-combustible cladding due to spatial separation
and the zero meter setback;
• Lot grading plan must provide retaining wall details for single and tiered walls including
construction material specification and typical sections;
• Any on -lot storm water management systems must be identified on each lot.
These must be resolved before Subdivision approval and the issuance of a Building Permit.
Parks & Leisure Services Department_
The Parks & Leisure Services Department have confirmed that the existing Equestrian Trail in the
Larch Avenue road right-of-way will no longer be an Equestrian route, however the existing trail
shall be retained for better pedestrian connectivity as a walkway. If this existing trail is disturbed
due to any servicing works/ upgrades, a new trail for pedestrian use is to be built and restored.
s-V
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 may be an additional 35 trees which is based on the landscape plan dated September
2009 by DMG Landscape Architects; 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 $ 875.00.
Fire Department:
The Fire Department has reviewed the proposal and has no concerns with it except a reminder that
access and visibility of fire hydrants must be maintained especially as the corner lots are best
locations for these.
f) School District Comments:
A referral was sent to the School District Office on July 27, 2010 and no comments were received.
g) Canada Post Comments:
A referral was sent to the Canada Post Corporation on July 27, 2010. They have requested that a
small portion of the 2331d Street road right-of-way be utilized by Canada Post to install Community
Mailboxes to effectively supply convenient and safe mail delivery to the citizens of Maple Ridge. They
have sent a plan showing the preferred location which is close to Lot 18 (Appendix C).
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. There is no amendment to the Official Community Plan for this development
proposal.
i) Environmental Implications:
A Natural Features Development Permit will be required for this proposal as this property has an
average natural slope of greater than 15 percent. A Natural Features Development Permit
application (DP/058/10) has been submitted for review. Prior to approval of the Natural Features
Development Permit the applicant/ developer will post refundable security with the District for any
enhancement, slope stabilizing and landscaping works based on a planting plan and cost -estimate
by the Environmental Monitor.
MAI
CONCLUSION:
The proposal is in compliance with the Official Community Plan, however requires a Development
Variance Permit, Development Permit and a Natural Features Development Permit as described in
the report. Several concerns and questions raised by the Advisory Design Panel have to be yet
addressed by the applicant and will be noted in a future Development Permit report.

SUBJECT: Development Variance Permit
24221, 24281, 24361104 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A Development Variance Permit application has been received to reduce the rear yard setback for
one family residential use from the required 8 metres to 6 metres on proposed lots 1-15. It is
recommended that Developmment Variance Permit VP/041/06 be approved.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal DVP/041/06 respecting properties located
at 24221 104 Avenue, 24281 104 Avenue and 24361 104 Avenue.

RZ/041/06
To reduce rear yard setbacks on proposed lots 1-15
The entire subject property is approximately 5 hectares in size; however, the actual development
area covered under this application is approximately 1.94 hectares (4.7 acres) in size. The new
residential lots proposed are located at the center parcel abutting 104th Avenue, while
accommodating the two existing dwellings on the subject properties; one located on the west
property line of the site and the other just east of the newly proposed lots for approximately 36 total
lots. There is also an existing lean-to at the approximate center of the subject site on proposed
conservation land that will be removed prior to subdivision.
The applicant proposes a reduction in the rear yard setback for one family residential use from the
required 8 metres to 6 metres.
c) Planning Analysis:
The reduced setback variance is required to provide a better building envelope for these lots. The
variance is supportable because proposed lots 1-15 back onto parkland and so will not have a
negative impact on neighbouring properties.
d) Alternatives:
If the variance is not supported the applicant will be required to comply with the required 8 metre
rear yard setback on all proposed lots.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer be
authorized to sign and seal DVP/041/06.

• Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 - 1985 Part 4, Section 403 (8) Maximum Retaining Wall Height:
to vary the maximum permitted retaining wall height from 1.2m to 3.3m.
b) Project Description:
The owner, BC Hydro, is proposing to construct a Field Operations Facility on this site which has a
very limited developable area. The site is surrounded by watercourses and slopes adjacent to the
south, northwest and west property boundaries and a watercourse across the street frontage at 256
Street. The environmental setback requirements on the site reduce the buildable area of the site
significantly.
In addition, the site was excavated by the previous owner and then filled with material that the
geotechnical engineer has determined to be unsuitable for construction. The Building Code
requirements are that the building cannot be constructed on piles and must be constructed on
material that provides adequate load bearing under both static and earthquake conditions. Allowing
the additional retaining wall height will help to mitigate the need for extensive fill on the site to meet
the slope stability requirements.
c) Planning Analysis:
Zoning Bylaw No. 3510-1985 limits the height of retaining walls to 1.2 metres; however, applicant is
proposing to construct 3 retaining walls located on the north, east and northwest of the buildable
area that will vary in height to a maximum of 3.3m in some sections, as recommended by the
geotechnical engineer.
d) Citizen Implications:
The exposed face of the wall will be internal to the development site and will not be visible from the
street. The entire street frontage, except for the driveway, is protected by a habitat protection
covenant and the existing vegetation will screen any views of the building and retaining walls from
the street.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
The Building Department has been working with the Geotechnical Engineer regarding the
recommendations contained in his report. The proposed retaining walls were identified to help meet
-2-
the post -disaster requirements of the Building Code for slope stability. The Building Department
supports the height variance.
The Engineering Department has determined there would be no impact on the operation of any
municipal services or roads, and has no objection to the requested variance.
f) Alternatives:
If the additional retaining wall height is not permitted then other development options would have to
be considered. The lot is already constrained by the environmental protection requirements and the
cost to reinstate suitable material would be excessive. A smaller building would not meet the needs
for BC Hydro's facility.
CONCLUSIONS:
It is recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer be
authorized to sign and seal Variance Permit 2011-072-VP.

RZ/078/09
The site has two street frontages, Edge Street and Brown Avenue with a lane located at the rear
(north) of the site. The current application proposes construction of a four storey apartment building
containing 77 units. The site is located within the Town Centre Incentive Area.
The apartment units range in size and include a mix of studio, one and two bedroom units, with and
without dens. The building is a four storey wood frame apartment structure over a one storey
concrete basement parking level. An access ramp to the underground resident parking is located at
the west side of the building off the lane.
The proposed materials for the building are cultured stone at the base of the building with earth tone
Hardie Plank siding with timber and cedar shingles as accent materials. This project takes
advantage of the lot by featuring a prominent entrance at the corner of Edge Street and Brown
Avenue with the rest of the building facing Brown Avenue. The proponent opted to have the highest
turret as the feature element at the entranceway to emphasize the corner with a canopy covering the
entrance along with lower turrets and balconies along the road frontage.
The developer proposes the following variances to Zoning Bylaw 3510-1985;
REQUESTED VARIANCES: Front Yard Setback, Exterior Side Yard Setback, Parking Stalls.
In an attempt to create a more engaged street frontage and increase the amount of usable open
space on the north side of the property, the building is sited slightly southeast on the lot facing
Brown Avenue and Edge Street. The development meets the 7.5m rear yard setback to the east and
exceeds the 7.5m side yard setback to the north.
-2-
• Required Front yard (Edge Street) setback - 7.5m
o Proposed Front yard setbacks:
Corner turret (furthest projection point) - 1.7 m
Principal Building face - 4.03 m
Roof overhang - 3.12 m
• Required Exterior Side (Brown Avenue) setback - 7.5 m
o Proposed Side yard setbacks:
Corner turret (furthest projection point) - 1.6 m
Principal Building face - 5.9 m
Roof overhang - 4.7 m
Balcony Columns - 3.86 m
c) Planning Analysis:
The Low -Rise Apartment use is intended for development in a three to five storey apartment form
where units are accessed from an internal corridor and residential parking is provided underground.
This project meets this criteria as it is four stories in form, units are accessed from an internal
corridor on each floor and parking is provided for underground.
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AREA:
A North View Town Centre Development Permit is required for all new developments in the area
designated Town Centre. The purpose of the Town Centre Development Permit is to foster building
design that has a strong urban form, reflective of Maple Ridge's heritage characteristics. The Key
Guideline Concepts are as follows:
• Promote north and south view as distinctive, highly liveable multi -family neighbourhoods
The proposal will provide density to the north view precinct and assist in the creation of a liveable
multi -family neighbourhood
• Create a pedestrian friendly, ground oriented, multifamily community
The proposal is for a ground oriented multi family building designed to promote a pedestrian scale
along the street
• Maintain cohesive building styles
The landscaping and street frontage is designed to be consistent with a proposed development
across the road
-3-
• Capitalize on important views
Views are limited from the subject property
• Provide private and semi -private green space
The development proposes private garden space areas for the residents and landscape along the
property line for enhanced streetscape
• Provide climate appropriate landscaping and green features
The landscaping has taken account of the local flora and has provided climate appropriate plantings
• Maintain street interconnectivity
Street connectivity is to be maintained
d) Advisory Design Panel:
On March 11, 2008 the Advisory Design Panel resolved that the current application be supported
and a number of minor concerns be addressed. The applicant has now addressed all of ADP's
concerns.
e) Financial Implications:
In accordance with Council's Landscape Security Policy, a refundable security equivalent to 100% of
the estimated landscape cost will be provided to ensure satisfactory provision of landscaping in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Development Permit. Based on an estimated
landscape cost the security will be $94,042.00
The number of street trees to be installed has not been determined at this stage. The costs
associated with maintaining these trees will need to be included in a subsequent operating budget.
f) Alternatives:
Under Section 919.1(d) of the Local Government Act and Section 8.11 of the Official Community
Plan the property has been designated a Development Permit Area with special requirements for
Town Centre development. Council approval is required for all development in the Town Centre
Development Permit Area prior to a Building Permit being issued. Council can reject the DP on the
grounds that they feel the Development Permit Guidelines have not been met.
The proposed variances are required in order to proceed with the current development. If Council
does not support the variances the applicant must redesign the building.
-4-
CONCLUSION:
As the development proposal complies with the Town Centre Development Permit Area guidelines of
the Official Community Plan for form and character and the variances requested are supportable, it
is recommended that both DP/116/07 and DVP/116/07 be given favourable consideration.

Hampstead Enhanced Landscape Maintenance
13465-13579 229 Loop, 13555-13575 23OA Street, 23020 -135B Ave.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The first phase of a 73 lot Eco-Cluster development (Hampstead) by Portrait Homes has recently
been approved for R-1 (Residential District), R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) and RST
(Street Townhouse Residential) lots located southwest of the Blaney Hamlet in the Silver Valley Area.
Portrait Homes Hampstead Ltd as owner of all the lots has made a formal petition (Appendix "E"), as
per Community Charter, Part 7, Division 5, 211 (1)(a), requesting the District provide a Local Area
Service Bylaw specific to those properties to be created by the subdivision. The service is for
enhanced landscape maintenance of 3 Parkettes located within the road right-of-ways, a pedestrian
trail through park land that connects 2 of the Parkettes, and the road frontages of park lands within
the development. The bylaw would require the future property owners of the 73 lots to pay an
annual fee as a Local Service Tax for enhanced landscape maintenance areas within the
development.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That a Local Area Service, as formally petitioned by the property owners of 23000 and 23024
136 Avenue, and as per Community Charter, Part 7, Division 5, 211 (1)(a), be authorized for
the enhanced landscape maintenance costs to be levied on the benefitting properties to be
created by subdivision of the land; and further
That Hampstead Local Area Service Bylaw No. 6860-2011 be given First, Second and Third
Readings.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
This development site is located southwest of the Blaney Hamlet and is designated Eco-Cluster with
67 single family lots and 6 street townhouse units proposed. Within the development, two looped
roads are proposed and all units will front onto "Parkettes" and back onto dedicated Park.
Parkettes are incorporated into the development plan as the focal point of each Eco-Cluster and
they are generally located as a naturalized green space within the road allowance. Roads within
1106
Eco-Clusters are designated as Rural Local Roads in the Silver Valley Area Plan. The road width and
on -street parking requirements for this site were carefully considered to meet the site specific
conditions, the Silver Valley Area Plan road standards, and the Engineering Department and Fire
Department requirements. Development Variance Permit 2011-052-VP was approved by Council on
July 26, 2011 for reduced road right-of-way and carriageway widths.
The subdivision plan for the first phase of this development was approved in August 2011 for lots 1-
40, and the subdivision application for the second phase is currently being reviewed by the Planning
Department (2011-105-SD).
The owner of the adjacent property to the east (23050 136 Avenue) has also submitted a
subdivision application (2011-106-SD). That property was rezoned with this development
(RZ/093/06) and the subdivision has been designed to align with this development and will result in
the completion of the Parkettes. A Local Area Service Bylaw will be required for that property with
the approval of the subdivision.
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%;
• 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.
b) Desired Outcome:
The property owners for this development have expressed a desire to establish a Local Area Service
for the enhanced landscape areas of the 3 Parkettes located within the road right-of-ways, a
pedestrian trail through park land that connects 2 of the Parkettes, and the road frontages of park
lands within the development for the 73 benefitting lots that will result from the subdivision. They
have made a formal petition, as per Community Charter, Part 7, Division 5, 211 (1)(a), requesting
the District provide a Local Area Service Bylaw, specific to those properties to be created by the
subdivision.
The developer of the site will be responsible for the enhanced landscaped areas installation and
maintenance costs, ensuring 100% survival, for the first year after completion of planting. The costs
for ongoing maintenance in subsequent years will then be provided by the 73 property owners after
subdivision. The cost recovery method would be the collection of 100% of the enhanced
landscaping maintenance costs as a Local Service Tax.
-2-
c) Hampstead Enhanced Landscape Area Requirements:
The enhanced landscape maintenance areas include 3 Parkettes located within the road right-of-
ways, a pedestrian trail through park land that connects 2 of the Parkettes, and the road frontages
of park lands within the development. These areas are identified on the Bylaw Map.
The planting concept for the Parkettes is for enhanced natural areas that will be planted with a
variety of native trees and shrubs to supplement the existing trees that will be retained within the
Parkettes. Post and rail fencing will surround the Parkettes with signs posted to identify the areas
as "Environmentally Sensitive" areas.
The planting plans for the Enhanced Landscape Planting areas were prepared by Phoenix
Environmental Services Ltd and are attached as Appendix "C". The recommended procedures and
frequencies for maintenance are Level 3 - Moderate of the BC Landscape Standard. This standard
is for a generally neat, moderately groomed appearance, with some tolerance for the effects of
`wear and tear', moderate traffic and naturalization processes. The standard includes regular
mowing and care of the lawn areas, control of invasive species, pruning, and fertilizing, as required
for the planted areas. Phoenix Environmental has provided an estimate for the yearly maintenance
of $13,600.00 per year for the first four years and then $7,000.00 per year after that, attached as
Appendix "D". It is anticipated that the maintenance costs could be reduced over time as the
planted areas naturalize and mature. Therefore, the maintenance costs should be reviewed every
year.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The estimated cost of the petitioned service will be $186.00 for the first four years and then $96.00
after that for each residential lot of the 73 lots in the Hampstead Local Area Service. The Local Area
Service bylaw will establish an Annual Charge based on a per lot basis for the 73 lots within the
benefitting area. It is anticipated that this charge will start in 2014, after the completion of the one
year maintenance period required from the developer.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
Operations Department:
The enhanced landscaping maintenance requirements for the Parkette areas in this development
are in excess of the funded base level of maintenance provided throughout Maple Ridge, and
therefore would be unfunded by the District. Costs for maintenance of enhanced landscaping
existing in other areas of Silver Valley have been monitored by the Operations Department over time
and a Local Area Service Bylaw is being proposed by Operations for ongoing maintenance of those
areas. Local Area Service bylaws have already been established in several other areas in the
District, including Maple Crest, the Kanaka Business Park, and, most recently, the Formosa Plateau
development to the northwest of this development.
Finance Department:
The Property Tax section of the Finance Department will impose the cost of this service as a levy and
place the notation on the tax roll of the benefitting property owners, anticipated to be in 2014.
-3-
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that the formal petition by the property owners for a Local Area Service be
authorized by Council for the enhanced landscape maintenance costs to be levied on the benefitting
properties to be created by subdivision of the land; and that First, Second and Third Readings be
given to Hampstead Local Area Service Bylaw No. 6860-2011.

Re: Portrait Homes `Hampstead' Development Maintenance Estimate
The attached landscape maintenance schedules and estimates are being provided for your review
and use in applying the Local Area Service Bylaw No. 6769-20210.
1) Estimate and Scheduling for Parkettes and Ponds Years 2-5,
2) Estimate and Scheduling for Parkettes and Ponds Years 6+
The attached maintenance schedules and cost estimates are based on the BC Landscape
Standards for "Level 3 — Moderate" maintenance, which is recommended for areas that require a
neat, moderately groomed appearance, but allows for natural processes and some "wear and
tear". It is expected that much of the area covered by this estimate will only require this level of
maintenance for approximately 5 years. Following the initial establishment and growth period, it
is expected that maintenance levels can likely be dropped to "Level 5 — Background & Natural
Areas", with the exception of the grass boulevards, and edges along the roads and pathways.
Maintenance needs should be re-evaluated at the 5 year mark to verify that the appropriate
maintenance level is being achieved and to determine whether the maintenance level can be
dropped, as suggested.
Please contact me if you have require any additional information or clarification.
Sincerely,
Phoenix Environmental Services, Ltd.

APPENDIX E
RE: PETITION FOR LOCAL AREA SERVICES ("LAS") REGARDING
LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE FOR PROPOSED SUBDIVISION AT
23000 AND 23024 136 AVENUE, MAPLE RIDGE BRITISH COLUMBIA
("HAMPSTEAD")
'To: Mayor and Council;
Reference: RZ,/093/06 and 2011/052/SD
The subject property is located within an "Eco Cluster" type development site with enhanced
landscape park areas. The service is for enhanced landscape maintenance of 3 Parkettes located
within the road right-of-ways, a pedestrian trail through park land that connects 2 of the
Parkettes, and the road frontages of the park lands within the development. The planting concept
for the Parkettes is for enhanced natural areas that will be planted with a variety of native trees
and shrubs to supplement the existing trees that will be retained within the Parkettes.
'The estimated annual maintain cost of the park areas within the entire subdivision, for the first
five years, is $13,600.00 or approximately $186.00 per lot. After the fifth year, landscape
maintenance costs can be reduced to $96.00 per lot, as the vegetation will be established.
Cost recovery method for 100% of the annual maintenance cost would be by way of a local
services tax within the property tax system. As the petitioner will be paying for the first year of
maintenance, cost recover from the homeowners should commence in year two from the date of
installation.
Portrait Homes Hampstead forwards this petition to the District of Maple Ridge for approval by
Mayor and Council.
Sincerely yours,
Portrait Holes Hampstead Ltd.

Development Cost Charges Imposition Amending Bylaw No. 6865 - 2011
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This bylaw amends our Development Cost Charges (DCCs) to reflect updates to the capital program.
It is consistent with our Official Community Plan (OCP) and will require an amendment to the
Financial Plan. This is a minor amendment and does not revisit development assumptions, policy
changes or underlying DCC assumptions which would be considered a major amendment.
Several capital projects were approved by Council with direction to include in the next DCC Bylaw
amendment. This amendment includes those projects as well as other amendments to the Long
Term Capital Program. This amendment is required to formalize the use of DCC funds for the added
projects.
Rate changes are minimal (between 0 and 2.1%) and because the majority of changes were adopted
by Council in public meetings, the suggested extent of stakeholder consultation for this bylaw
amendment will be limited to advertisements in the local paper with additional information available
upon request.
Until recently all DCC rate bylaws have had to be approved by the Ministry. Rates are now permitted
to be adjusted as often as annually as long as all the rate increases are less then Vancouver CPI and
the bylaw was approved by the Ministry within the last four years. The rate increases are all under
CPI and the bylaw was last approved in May of 2010.
The rates will be in effect when this bylaw is adopted with the exception of in -stream applications on
which the previous rates would be charged. The Local Government Act was amended to allow in -
stream building permits the same grace period that subdivision applications enjoyed, twelve months
from the time of adoption of the bylaw.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Maple Ridge Development Cost Imposition Amending Bylaw No. 6865-2011 be given first,
second and third readings.
DISCUSSION:
As our community grows, there is an increasing demand for a wide range of infrastructure. There is
no direct mechanism to cover costs related to some types of infrastructure, notably public safety
1132
buildings, recreation facilities and libraries. DCCs provide the authority to recover development
related costs for roads, sewers, drainage and water works as well as parkland acquisition and park
development. DCCs allow the municipality to apportion the costs of certain types of infrastructure
among land developers.
The DCC rates are the outcome of a complex model involving the planning and costing of future
infrastructure projects, and projecting of future development activity. The assumptions used in
these models are amended as required to keep pace with changes to the underlying plans.
It is a recommended best practice to annually consider if any minor amendments are needed to
reflect current construction costs, land values, status of grants and changes due to the annual
review of the Financial Plan. The last bylaw, which was a minor amendment, was adopted in early
2010.
Development Cost Charges Amendments do no longer require Ministry approval, if they are changed
no more frequently than annually and the change in the amount of DCCs does not exceed Vancouver
CPI and the Inspector of Municipalities has approved a DCC bylaw within the last four years.
This amendment increases individual service type rates between 0% and 2.4%. The total rate
increase for any type of development is between 0% and 2.1%. The increase in Vancouver CPI has
increased 2.5% since the last amendment.
The Local Government Act was amended recently to allow in -stream building permits the same grace
period that subdivision applications enjoyed, twelve months from the time of adoption of the bylaw.
a) Background Context:
The current DCC Bylaw No. 6705-2009 adopted in May of 2010 was the first minor amendment
since the last major amendment adopted in early 2008. A commitment was made to more
regularly address amendments to ensure that charges reflect current costs and remove the
likelihood of larger increases and to provide more rate stability and certainty. We did not expect
major changes in costs so to expedite review was limited to project updates.
The following projects were added to this bylaw (the amounts are the DCC portion of the project
cost):

Total
$3,449,000
This increase of about $3.5 million brings the total DCC program to $225.5 million.
Debt Financing
As discussed with Council previously, debt financing can be a useful tool to strategically advance
capital projects. Borrowing would allow the District to finance growth related infrastructure
projects using DCCs as the source of funding for debt payments. Committing future cash flows,
especially ones that are not certain and fluctuate, adds an element of risk that will have to be
carefully considered. All borrowings will require the assent of the electorate. The Inspector of
Municipalities will only consider approving the inclusion of interest costs in exceptional
circumstances, which are fairly narrowly prescribed.
With the next major DCC amendment there are several additional factors that will need to be
considered. New legislation introduced the exemption for small residential units and the ability
to reduce DCCs due to "green" initiatives. The development of an intensive agriculture levy was
introduced in the last major amendment but abandoned.
b) Desired Outcome:
The authority use DCCs funds collected to fund projects added since the last DCC Bylaw
amendment. A DCC Bylaw that is consistent with the Official Community Plan and our Financial
Plan ensuring the DCC rates are reflective of the costs of the infrastructure and open space
needs required to support development.
c) Developer/Customer Implications:
A comparison between the proposed levies and the levies currently in effect is shown in
Attachment "A"
A grace period of 12 months has existed for in -stream subdivision applications for quite some
time under section 943 of the Local Government Act. Recent changes to the legislation now
permit the same grace period for in -stream building permits. For qualifying applications, the
levies of the previous bylaw would be charged.
d) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The bylaw is consistent with the District's Financial Sustainability Policies and the Financial Plan.
e) Policy Implications:
The capital works program is the corporate mechanism for identifying and scheduling capital
projects consistent with growth strategies, the Official Community Plan and the Financial Plan
Bylaw. The Ministry of Community Services publication entitled Development Cost Charge Best
Practices Guide (Edition 3) guides the preparation of bylaws based on best practices guidelines,
local government policy and current information.
f) Alternatives:
Leaving the existing bylaw and rates as currently approved would mean that any new projects
funded from DCCs would need to find alternative funding sources. This alternative is not
recommended.
CONCLUSIONS:
This minor amendment to the DCC Bylaw is the second minor amendment since the DCC Bylaw was
restructured in 2008 to be consistent with the updated OCP. This minor amendment is required to
allow the additional projects to be funded by DCCs and the DCCs to be updated accordingly. These
changes require the approval of the Inspector of Municipalities before the bylaw can be adopted.

MAPLERIDGE District of Maple Ridge

TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin DATE:
and Members of Council FILE NO:
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN:
SUBJECT: 2012 Permissive Tax Exemptions
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
October 3, 2011
Committee of the Whole
The Community Charter provides Council with statutory powers to exempt certain types of properties from
municipal property taxation. Maple Ridge has clearly defined Council Policies to assist staff in evaluating and
recommending these property tax exemptions. The policies are based on the fundamental principle that the
Municipality will not grant property tax exemptions to organizations providing services on a private or for profit
basis, or where the service is the responsibility of senior governments. These policies have been reviewed by
Councils over the past several years, most recently in 2008.
All applicants being recommended for a permissive tax exemption in 2012 also received the exemption in 2011.
The United Church in Whonnock which has in the past received permissive tax exemptions was sold in 2011 and
exemptions will no longer apply to that property. There are no applications for new properties to be considered
for the 2012 taxation year.
In accordance with the Community Charter and Council Policies 5.16 to 5.23, the properties listed in Bylaw No.
6863 - 2011 are recommended for property tax exemption for the 2012 taxation year.
RECOMMENDATION:
That "Maple Ridge Tax Exemption Bylaw 6863 - 2011" be read a first, second and third time.
a) Background Context:
The Community Charter provides for a general exemption from taxation over which Council does not
have any legislative powers or authority. This includes properties such as schools, public hospitals,
buildings set apart for public worship and provincial and municipally owned public buildings and land.
B.C. Assessment determines which properties qualify for statutory exemption according to the
Community Charter.
Churches and Private Schools receive these automatic exemptions, over which Council has no control.
However, the statutory exemption only provides for the church or school building and the land on which
it stands, leaving any remaining land and improvements as taxable. In 1985 Council adopted a bylaw
which grants automatic permissive exemptions for these properties. Church properties receive
permissive exemption for an additional church hall and the entire parcel of land, to a maximum of
2.0335 hectares (5 acres). Buildings other than the church and church hall are subject to taxation.
Private Schools receive permissive exemption for additional improvements and the entire parcel of land
not included in the statutory exemption.
The Community Charter also provides Council with statutory powers to exempt other certain properties
from municipal taxation. For example, these can be land and improvements that are used by not for
profit organizations that are deemed to contribute to the well being of the community or private
Page 1 of 3 1133
institutions licensed under other legislation such as the Hospital Act, Community Care Facility Act or
parts of the School Act.
Permissive exemptions can also be granted by Council for heritage properties and portions of a property
used for municipal purposes (e.g. parts of Planet Ice, the curling rink and the Ridge Meadows Senior
Society).
Council has adopted policies with respect to the granting of property tax exemptions. The policies are
intended to prevent the downloading/off loading of services that are the responsibility of senior
governments and to ensure local residents are not subsidizing residents from other municipalities. They
also establish that where a permissive tax exemption is granted that all residents of Maple Ridge have
access to the service provided and make certain that the property tax exemption does not provide for an
unfair competitive advantage. The services provided by the organization are to be an extension of
Municipal services and programs and fall under the responsibility of local government.
A Tax Exemption Bylaw adopted by Council specifically applies to the "General, Debt & Library" and "Fire
Services Improvement" levies on the Property Tax Notice. However at this time, the School Act and the
Hospital District Act also provide for exemptions from other taxing authorities for properties included in
the bylaw.
The proposed taxation exemption bylaw must be publicly posted and included in a newspaper prior to its
adoption. The notice will include a description of each property and the estimated tax exemption for
2012 plus the following two years. The District's Annual Report also includes information on the
permissive exemptions granted.
b) Desired Outcome:
Council must adopt the Tax Exemption Bylaw on or before October 31, 2011 to exempt properties from
municipal property taxation for 2012.
c) Strategic Alignment:
The sources of municipal revenue are limited and therefore, the District supports institutions,
organizations and the community at large to enhance the quality of life to its residents. The granting of
property tax exemptions to those applicants meeting the criteria of the policies are strategically aligned
with:
(i) Financial Management - cost effective and efficient delivery of services
(ii) Community Relations - recognize and support the important contribution of volunteers and not for
profit groups that provide services in Maple Ridge
(iii) Safe & Livable Community - in partnership with community groups, assist in the provision of
leisure and cultural services to ensure access by all citizens
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Permissive exemptions are designed to support those services that complement District programs.
Inadequate funding from senior governments sometimes results in agencies turning to local government
for assistance. The sources of municipal funding are limited and providing exemptions to those groups
that fall under the responsibility of senior governments is not feasible.
All applicants requesting a permissive tax exemption for 2012 were also granted the exemption in 2011.
The property formerly owned by Whonnock United Church (United Church of Canada) is no longer eligible
for exemption and no new applications have been received.
Page 2 of 3
e) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
Based on the 2011 assessed values, and using the estimated tax increase for 2012 from the financial
plan, the estimated amount attributable to the 2012 proposed tax exemptions for the Municipal portion
of taxes is $455,542. The total tax revenue estimate in the financial plan is $60,530,172, putting the
proposed exemptions at less than 1% of that total.
f) Policy Implications:
The applicants recommended for exemption are in accordance with the adopted policies.
g) Alternatives:
Granting tax exemptions leads to a tax shift to other classes, most notably the Residential Class. An
option for Council is to provide a financial grant to assist those organizations providing community
services that Council wishes to support. Grants are an annual budget decision and are limited to one
year. Council has used this option from time to time. Providing grants does not relieve senior levels of
government from their responsibility to the community. Therefore, the potential for downloading costs to
the Municipality is somewhat reduced.
Nisink *i *R6N& l
In reviewing the requests for permissive exemptions, Council Members should ensure:
The use is consistent with Municipal policies, plans, bylaws, codes and regulations. This will ensure the
goals, policies, and general operating principles of the Municipality as a whole are reflected in the
organizations that receive Municipal support.
Exemptions are not given to services that are otherwise provided on a private, for profit basis. This
would provide an unfair competitive advantage.
The services provided by the organization should be an extension of Municipal services and programs
and must fall under the responsibility of local government. Senior government program costs must not
be transferred to property taxpayers, as this would represent double taxation and an inequitable tax
burden.
Primarily Maple Ridge residents should use the services and the organization's regulations must allow
all Maple Ridge residents to participate.
The taxation burden resulting from the exemption must be a justifiable expense to the taxpayers of the
Municipality. The sources of Municipal revenue are limited and request for exemption must be
considered in concert with other needs of the Municipality.
Additional details on the applications are available from the Finance Department.

Core Park Construction - Award of Tender
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Tenders for the construction of the Core Park site located west of 222nd Street and north of Church
Avenue were received on September 28, 2011 Six bids in compliance with the tender documents
were received.
The cost of this project in combination with the expenses to date for the demolition of five residences
exceeds the adopted budget. The project is primarily funded through Development Cost Charges
(DCC). The DCC Bylaw that is currently being considered includes a budget increase for this project.
Award of this tender is recommended.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the tender contract PL11-47 for the construction of the Core Park site located west of 222
Street and north of Church Avenue be awarded to Marten Timmer Excavating for $267,103.00 plus
HST and that the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the agreement.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
On June 14, 2011 Council authorized staff to proceed with the preparation of tender
documents for the construction of the Core Park site based on the concept plan dated May
3, 2011. Following this authorization Staff have proceeded with the demolition of the five
residences on the park site and issued a tender on September 9, 2011 for the Core Park
Construction. The demolition work is now substantially complete in preparation for park
development.
b) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The six compliant bids for Tender PL11-47 ranged from the low bid from Marten Timmer
Excavating Ltd. of $267,103.00 to a high bid of $370,979.00. In addition two non -compliant
bids were received.
The approved budget for the total construction of this park is $310,488. The budget is in the
process of being amended to $410,488 and will be sufficient to fund the demolition costs,
the award of this tender, and the supply and installation of park amenities, i.e. a drinking
fountain, play equipment, benches and outdoor fitness equipment.

SUBJECT: MAPLE RIDGE EQUESTRIAN SPORTS CENTRE LICENSE TO OCCUPY AGREEMENT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Parks staff through discussion with the operator of the Maple Ridge Equi-Sport Centre, have
prepared a License to Occupy agreement that will grant the Equi-Sport Centre the right to operate,
and manage the license area that contains the horse jumping course north of the Equi-Sport Centre.
In retl irn the FnI ii—Spnrt rants will maintain the site and nmviria n financial Cnntrihlitinn to the
District of Maple Ridge for the use of District land. It is recommended that the Commission endorse
the attached License to Occupy and forward to Maple Ridge Council,
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows Parks & Leisure Services Commission endorse the License to
Occupy and forward to Maple Ridge Council for consideration.
DISCUSSION:
In 2010 the District of Maple Ridge acquired a 6.3ha parcel of land north of the Maple Ridge Equi-
Sport Centre (MRESC). This land had been leased by the previous owner to the MRESC for the
operation of a horse jumping course.
In the past, this property has supported equestrian activities that have provided active recreational
opportunities for the community. Parks staff are proposing a License to Occupy (LOC) agreement that
will permit these recreational activities to continue.
The LOC agreement is similar to that which was issued to Wildplay Adventures for the use of the
former campground site in Maple Ridge Park. This agreement allows the Licensee to construct,
improve, and maintain their facilities on the land. The License to Occupy will allow the Licensee the
exclusive right to possess and occupy the area, without the transfer of any land or interest in the
land to the Licensee.
The agreement also provides the Licensee with the non-exclusive right to access and use the License
Area, including the Additional Facilities (parking) to ensure continued access by the public.
In return for the use of the District's land the Licensee will maintain the property to a standard that
will allow equestrian activities to continue on the site, arrange for garbage disposal from the site,
maintain insurance on the horse jumping course and provide a basic fee of $10,000 per annum,
beginning January 2012. No fee will be applied for 2011 as the uncertainty of a final agreement did
cause some impact to booking the field for MRESC events.
