David Laird Owner: 0752504 B C Ltd. Legal Description: Lot: 3, Section 33, Township 12, Plan: 20132 OCP: Existing: Medium Density Residential, Low/Medium Density Residential, Low Density Residential, Open Space and Conservation. Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Proposed: RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential), RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential), RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Low/Medium Density Residential, Low Density Residential and Conservation South: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Medium Density Residential, Low/Medium Density Residential, Low Density Residential and Conservation East: Use: Conservation Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Conservation West: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Medium Density Residential and Low/Medium Density Residential Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential Site Area: 0.936 HA. (2.3 acres) Access: Silver Valley Road and Blaney Road from the North Servicing requirement: Full Urban Standard b) Site Characteristics: The site is 0.936 ha in size and is bounded by Silver Valley Road to the west and the North Alouette River to the east. The site slopes steeply down to the east forming part of the North Alouette river valley. Approximately one-third of the site will be dedicated to the District as Park under the -3 -Conservation designation of the OCP for the preservation of the hillside and the North Alouette riparian area. The development site is within the Blaney Hamlet of the Silver Valley Area Plan which forms part of the Official Community Plan. c) Project Description: The applicant is requesting rezoning of the site under the RS-1b (One Family (Medium Density) Residential Zone on the west portion, and RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) on the eastern portion, the area required to habitat protection of the North Alouette River will remain under the present zoning. This would permit a future subdivision of the property into approximately six RS-1b (One Family(Medium Density) Residential) lots, not less than 557 m2 and two RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Lots, not less than 668 m2. A large portion will be dedicated to the District as Park under the Conservation designation of the OCP for the preservation of the hillside and the North Alouette riparian area. Access will be from Silver Valley Road and from Blaney Road which abuts the north portion of the site. 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 and reviewed by staff. Such assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries and yields, Official Community Plan designations and Bylaw particulars, may require application for further development permits. A detailed analysis and a further report will be required prior to Second Reading. d) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The development site is within the Blaney Hamlet of the Silver Valley Area Plan which forms part of the Official Community Plan. The subject property has multiple land-use designations: Conservation, Low Density Urban, Low/Medium Density Residential, Medium Density Residential and Open Space. For the proposed development an Official Community Plan amendment may be required to redesignate a portion of the site to Conservation and realign the residential boundary to allow the proposed zoning to proceed. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 23274 Silver Valley Road from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential), and RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to permit the furture subdivision into approximately seven lots. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the Official Community Plan, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is required to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas. -4 -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 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” to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas. Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application. e) 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; e) School District; f) Building 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. f) Early and Ongoing Consultation: In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an Official Community Plan amendment, it is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the District’s website, together with an invitation to the public to comment. g) 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. An Official Community Plan Application (Schedule A); 2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C); 3. Watercourse Protection Development Permit Application (Schedule F); -5 -4. Natural Features Development Permit Application (Schedule G); 5. Subdivision Application. The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. CONCLUSION: The development proposal is in compliance with the policies of the Official Community Plan. It is, therefore, recommended that Council grant First Reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to Second Reading. It is recommended that Council not require any further additional OCP consultation. It is expected that once complete information is received, Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No.6936-2012 may 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.

Owner: Florence L Nicholson Legal Description: Parcel “A” (ex plan 16722), Lot 4, Section 16, Township 12, NWD Plan 7289; and Lot 10, Section 16, Township 12, NWD Plan 21065 OCP: Existing: Urban Residential, Conservation Proposed: Urban Residential, Conservation Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Proposed: RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) -3 -Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Townhouse Residential, Park Zone: RM-1 (Townhouse Residential), RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation Urban Residential, Conservation South: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Urban Residential, Conservation East: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential), CD-1-93 Designation: Urban Residential West: Use: Vacant Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Conservation Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential Proposed Use of Property: Townhouse Residential Site Area: 2.807 ha (6.9 ac). Access: 236 Street Servicing requirement: Urban Standard Companion Applications: 2011-055-DP, 2011-055-VP, 2011-123-DP b) Project Description: The development site is located on the west side of 236 Street just north of 114A Avenue, and it is comprised of 2 large lots with a total area of 2.8 hectares (6.9 acres). The eastern portion of the property has a developable area that is relatively flat. The western portion of the property has some steep slopes, some exceeding 25%, and watercourses that are part of the Cottonwood Creek system. The geotechnical and environmental assessments have established the requirements and setbacks for protection of these features. There is an existing strata development to the north, and the property north of that is under application for a townhouse development (RZ/022/10). The property to the south of this site is an existing large singe family residential lot with potential for redevelopment in the future. The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject site from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) to permit a townhouse development of approximately 53 units on the developable portion of the site. The remainder of the site will be dedicated as Park for the protection of the slopes and watercourse areas. Running concurrently with this application are a Multi-Family Development Permit, a Watercourse Protection and Natural Features Development Permit, and a Development Variance Permit. -4 -c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The property is designated Urban Residential and Conservation. The proposed RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zoning is consistent with Major Corridor Residential Policies 3-18, 3-20 and 3-21 for development on a major corridor. An Official Community Plan amendment is required to adjust the boundaries of the area designated Conservation on the south and west edges of the development area. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 11461 and 11475 236 Street from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) to permit the construction of a townhouse development. A preliminary review of the plans in relation to the Zoning Bylaw requirements has revealed that the proposal generally complies with the bylaw, although a number of variances would be required if this proposal is to proceed. Proposed Variances: This application will require four variances that will be subject of a future Council report. The variances are: 1. To allow the existing above-ground utility company plant on 236 Street to remain; 2. To reduce the front setbacks on 236 Street from 7.5 metres to approximately 5.8 metres; 3. To vary the maximum building height on some of the buildings from 10.5 metres to approximately 11.0 metres. 4. To allow developer-built retaining walls to exceed the maximum height of 1.2 metres, as required. Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw: The development proposal for 53 units requires 2 parking spaces be provided for each unit and 0.2 spaces per unit be provided as Visitor Parking spaces, for a total of 106 residential parking spaces and 11 visitor parking spaces. A preliminary review of the plans in relation to the Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw requirements has revealed that the proposal complies with the bylaw. The applicant has provided the minimum required number of parking spaces on the site, with approximately 45% of the required residential parking as tandem garage spaces, and the remainder as double garage spaces. Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Official Community Plan, a Multi-Family Development Permit application is required to address the form and character of the proposed dwellings and to ensure the current proposal enhances the existing neighbourhood with a compatible housing style and that minimizes potential conflicts with neighbouring land uses. The development will be assessed against the following Key Design concepts, which will be the subject of a future Council report: -5 -1. New development into established areas should respect private spaces, and incorporate local neighbourhood elements in building form, height, architectural features and massing. 2. Transitional development should be used to bridge areas of low and high densities, through means such as stepped building heights, or low rise ground oriented housing located to the periphery of a higher density developments. 3. Large scale developments should be clustered and given architectural separation to foster a sense of community, and improve visual attractiveness. 4. Pedestrian circulation should be encouraged with attractive streetscapes attained through landscaping, architectural details, appropriate lighting and by directing parking underground where possible or away from public view through screened parking structures or surface parking located to the rear of the property. Pursuant to Sections 8.9 and 8.10 of the Official Community Plan, a Watercourse Protection and Natural Features Development Permit application has been received to ensure the preservation, protection of the natural environment of Cottonwood Creek, its tributaries, and the adjacent slopes. The developer will provide restoration, enhancement and replanting works as required, and 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. Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting was held on April 2, 2012 at Thomas Haney Secondary School. There was a very small turn-out (2) at the meeting and the following information was provided in the meeting minutes from the applicant:  The residents of the strata development to the north were concerned about: o increased noise due to the loss of tree cover on the development site; and o loss of privacy and the impact on the usability of their rear yards.  The applicant explained that any increased noise to the neighbouring development may be somewhat offset by the buildings being erected in place of the trees, and further noted that more open spaces results in an increase in the ability for sound to travel.  Regarding the privacy concerns, the applicant noted that they will install fencing along the property line, and a cedar hedge to increase the privacy for the neighbours to the immediate north. -6 -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 Advisory Design Panel (ADP) on May 8, 2012. The ADP generally supported the application and resolved that the following concerns be addressed. Revisions have been reviewed by Planning staff and found acceptable, as noted (in italics):  Consider a dedicated pedestrian walkway from 236 Street with a pedestrian gate; o The applicant has provided a walkway on the north side of the driveway.  Realign the northeast portion of the roadway to allow street trees to be behind Building 1; o Mixed landscaping has been added between the unit driveways to the rear of Building 1.  Look at the cultured stone treatment on the end elevations of Buildings 3, 5, 7 and 12; o Cultured stone treatment has been extended around to the end elevations of units 3 and 12, and significant landscaping is provided between units 5 and 7.  Consider pedestrian connection to the property to the north; o The applicant reviewed the connection options and determined that the opportunity should be explored between the strata owners.  Consider pedestrian crosswalks at the entry, the child’s play area and the pathway to the west; o The applicant has provided the crossings as required;  Consider carrying the cultured stone down to grade on the retaining wall at the entry elevations on 236 Street; o The applicant has met this requirement.  Consider relocating the visitor parking further away from Building 6; o The applicant has met this requirement.  Consider a different gable treatment for buildings 5, 7, and 12; o The applicant has met this requirement. d) Environmental Implications: The Environmental Section has reviewed the environmental consultant reports, conceptual stormwater/rainwater management plan, geotechnical reports, arborist report and proposals for habitat compensation and mitigation. The geotechnical consultants are to coordinate their recommendations with the environmental professionals, civil engineer and arborist to ensure consistency in the environmental objectives is achieved. Restoration measures with a cost estimate and security deposit are required, with the standard five year maintenance period. -7 -e) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: The Engineering Department has identified that all the services required in support of this development 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. Comments provided by the Engineering Department include:  Road widening of 236 Street to a Collector road standard, and the installation of curb, gutter and separated sidewalk;  A review and upgrade of the existing storm sewer system;  A Development Variance Permit is required to retain the existing aboveground utility company plant across the site frontage on 236 Street;  A charge will apply for works on 236 Street, under the Pavement Restoration Fees Bylaw, for pavement cuts required for servicing upgrades. Building Department: The site grading review from the Building Department has identified that the geotechnical issues identified early in the process have been addressed. Due to extenuating circumstances that exist on the site around topography, slope stability and erosion, the Building Department will allow a limited volume of stormwater to be pumped from the buildings at the west end of the site up to 236 Street. A restrictive covenant will be required to maintain minimum topsoil depths and plantings, bioswales and other requirements for vegetative cover around the emergency over-flow of the stormwater pump. The strata will be required to maintain these stormwater management features. The Building Department will allow the pumping of sanitary sewer, but only from basement fixtures, as required. A Development Variance Permit may be required for over-height retaining walls Parks & Leisure Services Department: The Parks & Leisure Services Department has 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 additional trees and the final servicing 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. Fire Department: The Fire Department has identified that all on-site carriageways must be a minimum of 6 metres in width and posted with ‘fire lane – no parking – tow away zone’ signage. Requirements for fire hydrant locations and unit addressing was provided to the developer. -8 -f) Intergovernmental Issues: Local Government Act: An amendment to the Official Community Plan requires the local government to consult with any affected parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section 882 of the Act. The amendment required for this application, Conservation boundary adjustment, is considered to be minor in nature. It has been determined that no additional consultation beyond existing procedures is required, including referrals to the Board of the Regional District, the Council of an adjacent municipality, First Nations, the School District or agencies of the Federal and Provincial Governments. The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial Plan/Capital Plan and the Waste Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that First and Second Reading be given to Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6832-2011, that Second Reading be given to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6833-2011, and that application 2011-055-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Joel Lycan Owner: Little Bear Development Ltd Legal Description: Lot 11, Block 1, Section 19, Township 15, Plan 22220 OCP: Existing: Suburban Residential Proposed: Suburban Residential Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Proposed: RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Vacant Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) -Proposed rezoning to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) under application RZ/079/10 Designation: Suburban Residential South: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Suburban Residential East: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Designation: Suburban Residential West: Use: Vacant Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Suburban Residential Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential Site Area: 1.699 ha, (4.198 acres) Access: Dewdney Trunk Road and 122 Avenue Servicing: Rural Standard Companion Applications: 2011-066-SD, 2011-066-DP -3 -b) Project Description: The applicant proposes to rezone the subject site to allow for future subdivision into two lots. One lot would be accessed from the existing panhandle on Dewdney Trunk Road, while the second lot would be accessed from 122 Avenue. The middle portion of the subject site containing McFadden Creek is proposed to be dedicated as park, which requires an OCP amendment to designate the land as Conservation. This zone is in compliance with this designation, and requires municipal water and sewage disposal provided by a private system. c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The proposed rezoning to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) is in accordance with the subject properties designation as “Suburban Residential” in the Official Community Plan. The OCP designates the site 100% Suburban Residential; however, the proposed residential development is within 50m of the top of bank of McFadden Creek and is, therefore, subject to a Watercourse Protection Development Permit. A portion of the site will be dedicated as Park, and this dedication will trigger an Official Community Plan amendment to Schedules “B” and “C”. The subject site is located on the Whonnock Aquifer and subject to the following OCP policy: Policy 5-37 Maple Ridge will require an evaluation of groundwater flows, conducted by a qualified environmental professional, for new development that is adjacent to areas reliant on well water. Development proposals that cannot ensure adequate groundwater flows, sufficient water quality or mitigate potential impacts to existing and surrounding well water systems will not be supported. A Groundwater Impact Assessment Report conducted by a qualified environmental professional has been prepared for the proposed development. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 26777 Dewdney Trunk Road from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to permit future subdivision into two single family lots. The proposed lots meet the minimum dimension requirements and no variances are required. Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the Official Community Plan, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is required to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas. 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 lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 percent; -4 -to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas. d) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: The Engineering Department has reviewed the proposed development and has determined that road dedication is required along Dewdney Trunk Road in support of the rezoning application. As there are no off-site works for this rezoning application, no rezoning servicing agreement will be required. The proposed development will be serviced by municipal water and sewage disposal provided by a private system. Additional comments from the Engineering Department will be addressed at the Subdivision stage. Building Department: The Building Department has reviewed the proposed development and has determined that a geotechnical report needs to be registered on title indicating that a geotechnical stability line (GSL) is required to protect slope stability. e) Environmental Implications: This development application is subject to a Watercourse Protection Development Permit and a Natural Features Development Permit. The applicant has completed an environmental assessment, arborist report, and groundwater impact assessment report to review site conditions. The certified arborist report characterized the proposed Lot 1 as mid to late seral second growth forest, and contains western redcedar, coastal western hemlock and big leaf maple tree species. The property contained within proposed Lot 2 has been altered by logging and land clearing. Vegetation consists of grasses, Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor), and sapling red alder (Alnus rubra). There are small groupings of mature coniferous trees located on the margins of the property. The Groundwater Impact Assessment report identifies the Whonnock Aquifer as a highly confined aquifer, with low surface contamination. The nature and intensity of development does not markedly increase the risk of contamination. The applicant has proposed to use a combination of habitat protection covenant and park dedication to ensure environmentally sensitive lands are not developed. Furthermore, the geotechnical stability line has been determined to identify lands to be developed. f) Intergovernmental Issues: Local Government Act: An amendment to the Official Community Plan requires the local government to consult with any affected parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section -5 -882 of the Act. The amendment required for this application, addition of conservation-designated land, 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: Based on the review of supporting information regarding the proposed rezoning and subdivision applications, it is recommended that First and Second Reading be given to Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6934-2012 and forwarded to Public Hearing; and further that Second Reading be granted to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No.6841-2011 and forwarded to Public Hearing. “Original signed by Siobhan Murphy” _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Siobhan Murphy, MA, MCIP Planning Technician "Original signed by Christine Carter" _______________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP Director of Planning "Original signed by Frank Quinn" _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services "Original signed by J.L.

Owner: Robert W Jones and Gordon J Kehler Legal Description: Lot 3 Except: Part Subdivided by Plan LMP434; District Lot 249 Group 1 New Westminster District Plan 75991 OCP: Existing: Urban Residential Proposed: Urban Residential Zoning: Existing: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Proposed: RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation Urban Residential South: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Urban Residential East: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Urban Residential West: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Urban Residential Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential Site Area: 0.457 HA. Access: River Road and River Wynd Servicing requirement: Urban Standard Companion Applications: 2011-050-SD b) Project Description: The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) to permit subdivision into approximately seven lots. -3 -c) Planning Analysis: The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) to permit subdivision into approximately seven lots, ranging in size from 560 to 777 square metres. Most of the property is located within 300 metres of the crest (top of bank) of the Fraser River Escarpment area. Therefore, this site is subject to Council Policies 6.23 and 6.24 respecting the control of surficial and groundwater discharge. The applicant will be required through the rezoning servicing agreement to connect and direct storm and rain water into the District’s stormwater sewer system in accordance with these policies. The lot currently has an existing dwelling and out building (a former dwelling), a detached garage, and a swimming pool. Each of these, together with their foundations and all components of the in-ground pool, will need to be removed. The majority of trees on the site are proposed to be removed in accordance with the recommendations of the arborist. As part of the subdivision application, coordination will be required between the geotechnical consultant and the arborist to take this into consideration preserving as many healthy trees as possible. Official Community Plan: The Official Community Plan designates the property Urban Residential, and is subject to the major corridor infill policies of the OCP. These policies require that development be compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood, with particular attention to setbacks and lot configuration with the existing pattern of development in the area. The proposed rezoning to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) is in conformance with the Urban Residential designation and infill policies. Zoning Bylaw: The application proposes to rezone the property located at 21165 River Road from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) to permit subdivision into approximately 7 lots. Although none are being currently contemplated, any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. Development Information Meeting: A development information meeting was not required because the proposal complies with the OCP and has a development potential of fewer than 25 lots. -4 -d) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: The current application must comply with the following Council Policies: i. 6.24 Subdivision of, or building on, land within 300 metres of the crest of the Fraser River Escarpment; and ii. 6.23 Control of surficial and groundwater discharge in the area bounded by 207 Street, 124 Avenue, 224 Street and the crest of the Fraser River Escarpment. The subdivision application is between 100 and 300m of the Escarpment Crest. Under the above policies, prior to the subdivision approval, the applicant will be required to provide a written report, signed and sealed by a qualified geotechnical engineer. The proposed development will be required to extend the existing storm sewer and confirm the system capacity. This report has been submitted and will be finalized to be acceptable to the District prior to final reading. Road widening is not being required. However, at the time of subdivision, a development variance permit will be required to allow the current road right-of-way for River Road and River Wynd to be kept. 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 7 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 $175.00. Fire Department: The existing buildings are to be secured from unauthorized entry. Removal of any oil tanks on the site requires a permit from the Fire Department. e) Intergovernmental Issues: Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure The property is within the referral area for review by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The usual referral and request for bylaw approval has been made by the District. -5 -CONCLUSION: As the proposed development is in compliance with the Official Community Plan, it is recommended that Second Reading be given to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6846-2011 and be forwarded to Public Hearing.

Legal Description: Lot: A, D.L.: 398, Block: 1, Plan: 155; PID: 011-537-604 Lot: 6, D.L.: 398, Block: 1, Plan: 155; PID: 011-537-060 OCP: Existing: Port Haney Multi-Family, Commercial and Mixed-Use Zoning: Existing: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential zone) Proposed: CRM (Commercial/Residentia l zone) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Multi Family Residential and lane Zone: CRM (Commercial/Residential zone) and RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential zone) Designation: Port Haney Multi-Family, Commercial and Mixed-Use South: Use: Single Family Residential, Industrial and River Road Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential zone), RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential zone) and M-2 (General Industrial zone Designation: Port Haney Multi-Family, Commercial and Mixed-Use East: Use: Heritage Commercial, Commercial and Industrial Zone: H-1 (Heritage Commercial zone); C-4 (Neighbourhood Pub zone) and M-2 (General Industrial zone) Designation: Port Haney Multi-Family, Commercial and Mixed-Use West: Use: Single Family Residential and 223rd Street Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential zone) Designation: Low-rise Apartment -3 -Existing Use of Property: Vacant Proposed Use of Property: Multi-Family Residential (apartments) Site Area: 1622.99 m2 Access: River Road and the lane Servicing requirement: Full Urban Companion Applications: 2011-054-DP and DVP b) Project Description: The subject sites (Appendix A) include two legal lots with a consolidated area of 1623 m2, north of the Fraser River and east of 223rd Street, along the southern edge of the Town Centre Area. Currently the site is vacant, surrounded by road on three sides (i.e. a lane on the north; River Road on the south and 223rd Street on the west). The Billy Miner Pub is located on the east. The proposal is strategically located to take advantage of the Fraser River views and opposite the West Coast Express train station for commuters. The subject site lies within the Fraser River Escarpment area and has a significant slope down from the lane to River Road (north to south). The proposal is to rezone the subject sites to CRM (Commercial/Residential zone) to permit a four-storey apartment building with 43 units; and underground parkade. Most of the residential parking is proposed in the under-ground parkade, except six spaces which are proposed in the three double car garages accessible at grade from the lane on the north. The required visitor parking stalls are proposed at grade accessible from the lane. The building will contain 43 apartments (one, two and three bedroom units) ranging in sizes from 43.66 m2 (470 ft2) to 119.8 m2 (1290 ft2), proposed on four floors with viewing patios and balconies for the units facing River Road. A ramp leading to the under-ground parkade is proposed in the south-east corner of the site and pedestrian access to the building is through the entrance lobby facing River Road (Appendix C). A small outdoor amenity area is proposed on the east with some planters and movable seating for the residents to use (Appendix E). c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan & Town Centre Area Plan: The Town Centre area is divided into seven precincts and the subject sites lie along the southern edge of the Town Centre Area, within the “Port Haney and Waterfront Precinct”. This precinct is bounded by the west boundary of the Town Centre Area Plan, 117th Avenue, 224th street (including some properties on the east side of 224th Street) and continues along the waterfront to the east boundary of the Town Centre. Historically, Port Haney area served as the District’s commercial hub, the remnants of which are heritage buildings such as Haney House, St. Andrew’s Church and the Billy Miner Pub (on the east of the subject sites). Today, the Port Haney & Fraser River Waterfront Area is recognized as an area in transition. Retaining the historical character and encouraging pedestrian and multi-modal linkage to the central business district are important for this area. This precinct is within walking distance of the civic core area and serves as a vital walkable link to key destinations including the Fraser River waterfront and the West Coast Express train station. This proposal will benefit from a future walkway and -4 -development along the wharf. 223rd Street would be the shortest pedestrian connection to the central business district. A separated sidewalk, boulevard, curb and gutter on 223rd Street, to match the proposed development on the north of the lane, will further enhance the multi-modal linkages to the civic core area of the town centre. The pedestrian underpass (tunnel) connecting to 224th Street and the civic core area is in close proximity to the subject sites. The uses permitted in the “Port Haney Multi-Family, Commercial and Mixed-Use” designation include ground-oriented development forms such as row houses, town houses, stacked townhouses, lowrise apartment, commercial or mixed-use. The proposed low-rise apartment form on subject sites, aligns with this and aims to capitalize on important views of the Fraser River. The developer and his team are working to consistency with the policies and development permit guidelines outlined in the Town Centre Area Plan. This will be the subject of a future Council report. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the subject properties from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential zone) to CRM (Commercial/Residential zone). The proposed CRM (Commercial/Residential zone) provides for a mix of residential and commercial uses and is specifically for lands designated Commercial/Apartment in the Port Haney area. Apartment use is a permitted principle use in this zone. The proposed apartment building complies with the maximum height and setback requirements of the zone. This zone permits 90% lot coverage on main and first floors and a reduced maximum lot coverage of 50% above the second floors. The applicant has proposed reduced maximum lot coverage on main and first floors and increased maximum lot coverage on third and fourth floors, to avoid a wedding cake like form. This is considered a variance and will be the subject of a future Council report. Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw: The Town Centre Parking Strategy revisited parking standards for some uses within the Town Centre Area and includes revised parking standards for residences based on number of bedrooms for a multi-family residential use. This proposal benefits from the reduced parking standards due to its location and because it is eligible for the Town Centre Incentive Program in Sub-Area 1. As per Section 10 of the Maple Ridge Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw #4350-1990, a minimum of 0.9 spaces per unit are required for a bachelor apartment which increases by 0.1 space per additional bedroom. Based on these parking standards, for a total of 43 units (16 one-bedroom units plus 24 two-bedroom units plus 3 three-bedroom units), this project requires 46 residential parking spaces and 5 visitor parking spaces. Total proposed parking spaces in the under-ground parkade are 40 spaces and the remaining six spaces are provided in the three 2-car garages facing the lane (Appendix D). All the required visitor parking stalls are proposed at grade, covered above by the first floor, facing the lane (Appendix C). The developer has opted to provide some additional tandem parking stalls in the under-ground parkade which are anticipated to serve the same unit owners and serve as an important marketing tool for the project. The required long-term bicycle storage lockers are proposed in the under-ground parkade and the short-term bicycle parking spaces have been proposed near the visitor parking stalls as shown on the site plan (Appendix C). -5 -Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.11 of the Official Community Plan the proposal is subject to the Town Centre Area Development Permit Guidelines to address the form and character of the development. This will be the subject of a future Council report. Advisory Design Panel: The proposal was first reviewed at the February 14, 2012 Advisory Design Panel meeting. The panel had several concerns and passed the following resolution at this meeting: The proposal be re-submitted and presented at a future Advisory Design Panel meeting with the following concerns addressed;  Submit the following: a Context Plan; Streetscape Elevations; Coloured Elevations of the building, with details of the east property line building and parking;  Consider a more cohesive design and material treatment for all the elevations of the building;  Provide handicapped access to the garbage enclosure;  Provide appropriate access to the Outdoor Amenity Space;  Consider a landscape buffer along River Road;  Re-consider the suite/unit layout with bedroom that has no window;  Provide details of the long-term bicycle storage;  Provide details of the transformer location;  Coordinate the landscape and architectural drawings with the civil drawings with regard to off-site works and boulevard location; ensure all drawings are accurate & complete.  Consider Children’s Play Area within the Outdoor Amenity Space;  Re-evaluate the need for enclosed balconies;  Consider additional tree planting along the lane, on both sides including reduction of parking as needed;  Confirm and show that the garbage and recycling proposed, complies with the DMR Waste Management Guidelines;  Provide direct access to the Mechanical Room;  Allocate extra space of Electrical Room to storage space;  Specify route of the second exit on the ramp going into the U/G parkade;  Review sizes of individual storages proposed in the U/G parkade;  Specify details of how the water is collected and drained, from the top deck;  Adjust the roof plan to show necessary slopes behind the towers. -6 -After the applicant addressed the above concerns, the panel reviewed the revised proposal at the April 10, 2012 Advisory Design Panel meeting. The resolution passed at this meeting was: The following concerns be addressed and digital versions of revised drawings and memo be submitted to Planning staff; and further that Planning staff forward this on to the Advisory Design Panel for information;  Updated landscape plans to show street trees in correct locations;  Consider street front entrances where possible;  Consider addition of window to Units C, C1 and D;  Provide dimensions for the smaller storage lockers;  Consider providing details at the gables of the roof;  Provide an updated rendering;  Consider locating the entry feature on the grid of the buildings;  Provide handicapped ramp details at the front entry;  Provide exterior lighting details. The revised drawings have been forwarded to the panel for review. The architectural details will be the subject of a future Council report prior to approval of a Development Permit. Development Information Meeting: On May 31, 2012, the developer and his team of consultants hosted the “Development Information Meeting” at the Fraser Room, in the Maple Ridge Library from 6:00 to 8:30 PM. This meeting was attended by two persons who expressed concerns such as: noise from the train, increased traffic and lack of street parking in this area. There was a positive comment about how this proposal will bring some improvements to this area. One resident of this area who could not attend this meeting and who is not opposed to this project, conveyed concerns regarding additional cars in an overall constrained area and lack of street parking on the Haney Bypass, noting that densifying this area is appropriate but needs careful attention to supporting infrastructure for auto-users and pedestrians alike. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: The Development Information Meeting was an opportunity for any affected parties to express any concerns and the future Public Hearing will be another opportunity to do the same. e) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: 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: a 2.2 metre road dedication and upgrades such as concrete curb, gutter, sidewalk and street trees on River Road; a separated sidewalk, boulevard, -7 -curb, gutter and street trees on 223rd Street; a reconstructed lane with street parking on the north side of the lane; new sanitary sewer connections; new storm sewer and catch basins; under-ground wiring for utilities; new fire hydrant and service connection, etc. A servicing estimate will be prepared once the developer’s engineer submits an acceptable off-site servicing design, which is a standard practice for all development proposals. Fire Department: The Fire Department has reviewed the proposal and comments have been provided to the applicant. The applicant has ensured that all these will be addressed through the Building Permit drawings. Building Department: The Building Department has reviewed the proposal and comments have been provided to the applicant. The site is within the Fraser River Escarpment Area so the Geotechnical report should address this policy. A more detailed review will take place prior to the Development Permit approval. Parks & Leisure Services Department: The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the Development Permit is completed they will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that the maintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree will increase their budget requirements. f) School District Comments: A referral was sent to the School District office and no comments were received. g) Intergovernmental Issues: A referral was sent to the Ministry of Transportation and Highways, for preliminary approval, as the subject site lies within 800 metres of the Haney Bypass. On June 11, 2012, preliminary approval for the proposed bylaw was received. -8 -CONCLUSION: The applicant is seeking some variances that will need consideration at a future Council meeting. The development proposal promises some off-site improvements which will benefit the over-all multi-modal connectivity for the area and fits well with Council’s vision of densification within the Town Centre Area. This proposal also qualifies for the Town Centre Incentives Program, therefore it is recommended that Council grant Second Reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6827 – 2011 and forward it to Public Hearing. ____________________________________ ___________ Prepared by: Rasika Acharya, B-Arch, M-Tech, UD, LEED® AP, MCIP Planner _______________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP Director of Planning _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services _______________________________________________ Concurrence: J.

This application is to rezone the subject properties from CS-1 (Service Commercial) to C-2 (Community Commercial), to permit an existing commercial building to be expanded and allow a broader range of commercial uses. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6926-2012 be given Second Reading and be forwarded to Public Hearing; and 2. That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading. i. Approval from the Ministry of Transportation; ii. A disclosure statement must be submitted by a Professional Engineer advising whether there is any evidence of underground fuel storage tanks. If there is evidence, a site profile pursuant to the Waste Management Act must be provided in accordance with the regulations; iii. Registration of a revised easement for mutual access, reconfiguration and coordination of parking and maneuvering aisles with the adjoining lot to the east (20580 Lougheed Highway). DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Shauna Steven (Spire Development Corporation) Owner: R. Tong MD Inc. 1106 -2 -Legal Description: Lot 1 Except: Part subdivided by Plan LMP20045; District Lot 222 Group 1 New Westminster District Plan 72179 OCP: Existing: Commercial Zoning: Existing: CS-1 (Service Commercial) Proposed: C-2 (Community Commercial) Surrounding Uses North: Use: Commercial Zone: CS-1 (Service Commercial), & RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation Commercial South: Use: Residential (south of abutting lane) Zone: R-1 (Urban Residential) Designation: Urban Residential East: Use: Commercial Zone: CD-1-92 (A Comprehensive Development Zone for medically-related uses) Designation: Commercial West: Use: Commercial Zone: CS-1 (Service Commercial) Designation: Commercial Existing Use of Property: Commercial Proposed Use of Property: Commercial Site Area: 0.327 ha. (0.8 acre) Access: Lougheed Highway and lane behind Servicing: Full Urban Companion Applications: 2012-005-DP b) Project Description: The subject site is located on the south side of Lougheed Highway, across from Triple Tree Nurseryland. The parcel is 0.327 ha. in size and has access to a lane from 118 Avenue. The applicant proposes to convert and extend the existing commercial building. The current CS-1 zone limits the types of professional uses it permits. A drop-in medical clinic would be permitted, but not medical specialist offices, a pharmacy and diagnostic facilities. The C-2 zone is less restrictive, allowing the medical clinic and all of the proposed uses the applicant is seeking. The existing building is approximately 646 m2 (6,958 ft2). With the proposed addition of about 524m2 (5,640 ft2), the total floor area of the proposed building will be 1,170 m2 (12, 598 ft2). -3 -Parking is provided in two areas. In front, there will be 39 parking spaces, two of which will be handicapped spaces. To the rear with lane access, will be 13 spaces intended to be for staff. Access to the front parking area is by way of an existing driveway through the lands to the east (20580 Lougheed Highway) as part of a previous development application for those lands. The access is secured by way of an existing easement, with the District as a third party on the associated restrictive covenant. Running concurrently with this application is Development Permit application (2012-005-DP). It will govern the details of the proposed expansion, exterior renovations, parking layout, landscaping and signage. c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: This western stretch of the Lougheed Highway was predominantly Service Commercial historically and is designated General Commercial. The adoption of the Official Community Plan in 2006 introduced greater flexibility in the possible range of permitted commercial uses (including the C-2 Community Commercial Zone) in this designation. This change was in order to meet consumer demand and respond to market trends. For this reason, this proposal is entirely consistent with the Official Community Plan, and complies with the policies in section 6.3.4 General Commercial of the Official Community Plan. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the subject site from CS-1 (Service Commercial) to C-2 (Community Commercial) to permit the existing 646 m2 building to be expanded by 524 m2 and have a total floor area of 1,170 m2. A preliminary review of the proposed building and associated parking has concluded that the proposal complies with the applicable Zoning Bylaw and parking regulation. Although none are currently being contemplated, any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone would require a development variance permit application Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.5 of the Official Community Plan, a Commercial Development Permit application is required to address the current proposal’s compatibility with adjacent development, and to enhance the unique character of the community. Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting was held by the applicant on June 11, 2012 at the Hammond Community Centre. The number of individuals that attended was 22. Concerns raised by those attending related to: parking and lane access, loading and access to the lane garbage enclosure, -4 -safety and security, and landscaping and esthetics. The applicant proposes to respond to these concerns as follows: 1. Relocate the garbage enclosure to the north side of building. Provide a small, one bin enclosure constructed of concrete block, painted to match building with perforated metal gates. Provide landscape screening. 2. All deliveries to be at north end of building through main doors. Only small, cube van delivery vehicles are anticipated. 3. Provide a locking gate at the pedestrian corridor on the east end of building. Will be for staff access only. 4. Discuss with city and engineering departments the installation of speed bumps, signage and mirrors in rear lane to address traffic safety concerns of residents. 5. Provide landscaping at rear of building for esthetic enhancement. As indicated above, a number of concerns were raised by the public at the DIM meeting. All appear related to: building design; on-site parking and delivery issues. However, the most significant concern expressed is over the applicant’s plan to utilize the existing lane for staff parking. The history of the lane and area lot patterning needs some explanation. Prior to 1980, this portion of Lougheed Highway contained a variety of odd, large sized lots extending southwards. Over time subdivisions occurred which did not anticipate the need for lane network running parallel to Lougheed Highway. In 1994, this changed with the submission of a subdivision application on the subject site that proposed a 7 lot subdivision. The proposal consisted of two (2) commercial lots fronting Lougheed Highway, each with an existing commercial building, and five (5) single family residential lots fronting 118th Avenue. All but one of the single family lots had access from 118th Avenue. As part of this application the Ministry of Transportation and Highways required a lane be built as alternative access for the two commercial lots. Given the lot pattern in the area, no further lane extensions are possible. Air photo records from 1994 reveal the rear lane having been built but only one of the commercial lots (20580 Lougheed) had access to the lane. No residential homes were built on any of the lots in 1994. A review of the subsequent air photo records reveal that only two of the 5 single family lots were built on by 2000. The subsequent three (3) additional lots were built on after the year 2000. In 2006, an area resident requested the lane be closed to commercial traffic that was using it as a “rat run” from Lougheed Highway to destinations south, thereby avoiding the light and traffic congestion at the 207th intersection. This request was reviewed and approved by the Municipal Engineer in 2006. A 2.0 metre high chain link fence was subsequently erected among the north side of the lane. Since that time the lane has served exclusively as access to the rear yards of the six (6) adjoining residential lots fronting 118th Avenue. Although it appears that the lane was intended to serve as an alternative access for one or both of the existing commercial parcels fronting Lougheed, it actually only served 20580 Lougheed Highway and for only a short time (1994-2006) before being closed off. There is no possibility of the lane now being extended further east or west. Over the past few years, area residents have come to regard the lane as a residential use, going as far as planting landscaping along the northern side of -5 -the lane along the chain link fence. They are not in favour of the lane being reopened even for limited use by medical staff as proposed by the applicant. The developer has responded by: increasing the amount of landscaping at the rear of the building and in the staff parking area; and relocating the garbage and delivery areas from the lane. 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 June 12, 2012 meeting. The Advisory Design Panel is in support of the general concept as submitted, and made the following resolution: The application be supported and the following concerns be addressed as the design develops and submitted to Planning staff for follow up;  Consider providing more detail on the face of the fascia of the decorative roof.  Provide details of signage on the East Elevation.  Provide civil drawings which explain the treatment along lane and Lougheed highway.  Consider any improvements to the lane, in particular tree planting on the south side of the lane.  Consider on-site storm-infiltration into the planting in the north of the parking lot.  Clarification of parking wheel stops requirements.  Consider reducing patron or visitor parking to establish a pedestrian access to the building.  Consider as much of a landscape planting provision around the garbage enclosure including additional trees.  Consider the addition of planting against the south and east walls.  Consider addition of lighting on the south side of the building.  Clarify that there is a low evergreen hedge on the North, East and West edges of the parking lot.  Provide sufficient soil depth for trees in the parking lot.  Consider a different location for the garbage enclosure (not at the entrance of the parking lot).  Consider providing a parapet screen around the roof top to screen the roof-top units.  Consider providing a parking lot organization coordinated with the neighbor next door to provide a functional solution. The revised plans, once submitted, will be brought forward with a staff report for Council to consider authorizing issuance of the development permit. After this, the applicant may obtain the required building permits to undertake the extension and exterior renovations being proposed. -6 -d) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: Engineering Department comments related to road improvements (roll-over curbs and gutter for lane parking; sidewalk, street trees, lighting and underground wiring along Lougheed Highway), confirming adequacy of service connections (currently in easements through the property to the east), and legal arrangements for parking and access (the parking spaces and access is joined with the land to the east and secured by easement). The detailed Engineering Comments have been provided to applicant to be resolved prior to Council granting Final Reading. Fire Department: The Fire Department has reviewed the application and has provided comments related to the usual practices for fire safety. No issues were raised related to access to the site, proposed lane usage or on-site circulation. The detailed Fire Comments have been provided to applicant to be resolved at the building permit stage. e) Intergovernmental Issues: Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure: The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has granted preliminary approval to this rezoning for a one year period. This is subject to an application and issuance of a commercial access permit to the applicant if the current access arrangements are to be changed. The approval also requires a minimum setback of 4.5 meters (about 24 meters proposed) from the Lougheed Highway. The District becomes responsible for maintaining boulevard landscaping, and sidewalks the developer is required to construct along the Lougheed Highway. Responsibility related to highway safety is under a Ministry’s maintenance contract. -7 -CONCLUSION: This proposal involves converting and expanding an existing service commercial building into a building that will accommodate commercial community uses. A number of concerns have been raised by area residents regarding the use of the lane. The applicant has suggested ways to mitigate potential impacts. The proposed zone to accommodate the proposed uses would comply with the existing OCP Commercial designation. It would be in order for Council to consider granting Zone Amending Bylaw 6926-2008 Second Reading and forwarding the application to Public Hearing.

The applicant is requesting variances to the Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw and the Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw. It is recommended that 2012-027-DVP be approved. RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2012-027-DVP respecting property located at 24207 102 Avenue. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context Applicant: CIPE Homes Inc. Owner: Paul Kaczan Legal Description: Lot: B, Section 3, Township 12, Plan: BCP9309 OCP : Existing: Medium Density Residential Proposed: Medium Density Residential Zoning: Existing: R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Proposed: R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Surrounding Uses North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Designation: Medium Density Residential South: Use: Conservation Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Conservation 1107 -2 -East: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Designation: Medium Density Residential West: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Designation: Medium Density Residential Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential Site Area: 0.816 ha (2 acres) Access: from the lane off of 241A Street Servicing: Full Urban Standard Previous Applications: RZ, SD, DP & VP/062/03 and 2012-SD, DP Requested Variance: To Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw 4800-1993 Schedule “B” and “C” & Section IV A 4. and To Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 – 1985 Section 601 C. E,b.ii. b) Project Description: The subject property is located within the Albion Area Plan and is developing in accordance with the established neighbourhood and road pattern. It was part of a larger parcel which was rezoned in 2004; at that time the north portion was subdivided into 25 lots, leaving the home site on this 0.861 ha parcel which fronts onto 102 Avenue. An application has now been received to subdivide the remainder into 27 lots under the R-3 zone (Special Amenity Residential District), which permits lots not less than 213 m2. The subdivision will connect 102A Avenue as well as the lane off of 102 Avenue through the site providing an improved circulation pattern for pedestrians and traffic. A temporary access to 102 Avenue will be provided to minimize the construction impact on the adjacent neighbourhood. The variances requested are to:  the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw to permit the existing Albion Village Standard for road widths and construction standards and for the minimum lot depth on arterial roads for those lots which will front onto 102 Avenue; and  the Zoning Bylaw to allow a reduction in the side yard setback from 2 metres to 1.8 metres to allow for wider garages. The Albion Village Standards were established in 1997 in support of the first R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Zone. The standard approved was based on a traffic assessment prepared by Trevor Ward and Associates and reviewed and supported by the Engineering Department. This standard has been used throughout the area known as the Albion Village area. The specific variances requested from those established in the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw, are reflective of the established subdivision pattern, and are discussed in more detail below. -3 -There are 3 variances being requested as follows: 1. Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw: a) Section IV General Requirements A. 4, states “No parcel abutting a controlled access highway or municipal arterial road shall be created having a parcel depth of less than 30 metres.” Lot depth for future lots fronting onto an arterial (102 Avenue) do not meet this minimum requirement and; b) Schedule “B”& “C” to achieve the Albion Village street standard;  Schedule “B” 3., Minor Street, urban standard, minimum width 18m;  Schedule “B” 5., Lane, minimum width 7.5m; and  Schedule C the construction standard. 2. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw, Section 601C, E, b,ii) states “Buildings and Structures for Accessory Residential Use and Accessory Off-Street Parking Use shall be sited not less than 0.45 metres from an interior side lot line provided that a minimum setback of 2 metres is maintained for the other side yard”. (see Appendix B) c) Planning Analysis of requested Variances: 1. Subdivision Servicing and Development Bylaw variances: a. Section IV A. 4 -Lot Depth on Arterial Roads: The overall subdivision lotting pattern for the “Albion Village” has already been established through previous subdivision applications. This pattern established the lot depth fronting 102 Avenue (an arterial road), at 27.44 metres in depth. This reduction in lot depth will still provide for an 11 metre rear yard setback for the principal building leaving this area for accessory buildings and private yard space for these lots. This variance would enable the continuation of the established lot pattern and complies with the minimum depth requirement established by the Zoning Bylaw for the depth of R-3 lots. b. Schedule B & C of the Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw -Road Standards:  Schedule “B” establishes the required road right-of-way width. The variances requested are as follows for:  Urban Standard Minor Streets -from 18 metres to 15.5 metres,  Lanes -from 7.5 metres to 6 metres. -4 - Schedule “C” -District of Maple Ridge Standard Drawings and Specifications establishes the construction standards. The variance requested will be to achieve the Albion Village standard. They are:  From an 18 metre right of way to a 15.5 metre right-of-way and from a 8.6 metre pavement width to 8.0 metre pavement width; and  From a 7.5 metre lane right of way to a 6 metre right of way and from 6 metres of pavement width to 5.6 metres of pavement width. These requested variances are consistent with the road standards that have been established in the surrounding neighbourhood and the properties immediately adjacent to the subject properties. 2. Relaxation requested to the Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw Section 601C, E,b,ii “Buildings and Structures for Accessory Residential Use and Accessory Off-Street Parking Use shall be sited not less than 0.45 metres from an interior side lot line provided that a minimum setback of 2 metres is maintained for the other side yard”. The applicant is proposing to construct either garages or carports as part of their marketing strategy for the lots. They have requested a relaxation from 2 metres to 1.8 metres for the interior side yard in order to provide a wider garage which would allow greater maneuverability for access/egress. This variance was discussed and given support by the Fire Department. The form and character of all of the houses in this subdivision will be the subject to an Intensive Residential Development Permit that will be reviewed by Council in the near future. d) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: The Engineering Department supports the requested variances to the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw for the Albion Village Standard. It was noted that the Developer will be required to provide for “no parking” segments on 102A Avenue at the subdivision servicing stage of the development. Fire Department: The Fire Department is prepared to support the requested variance to the Zoning Bylaw for the interior side yard setback for the garage/carports from 2 metres to 1.8 metres. e) Alternatives The street abutting both sides of the site has used the Albion Village standard which has dictated the lotting pattern specific to this site. If the variance to the Subdivision Development and Servicing Bylaw is not approved the applicant will be unable to subdivide the site in accordance with the Albion Village standard. If the variance to the Zoning Bylaw is not approved the applicant will build garages/carports which are not as wide. This would make the access/egress to the garage more difficult. -5 -CONCLUSIONS: The requested variances will permit the subdivision to proceed using established road patterns and the garages to be wider making access/egress easier. It is therefore recommended that this application be approved.

The site is located within the Albion Area plan and has a land use designation of Medium Density Residential. The Intensive Residential Development Permit provides a greater emphasis on high standards in aesthetics and quality of the built environment, with the intent to provide an environment that is safe, attractive, people-friendly. RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2012-027-DP respecting property located at 24207 102 Avenue. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context Applicant: CIPE Homes Inc. Owner: Paul Kaczan Legal Description: Lot: B, Section 3, Township 12, Plan: BCP9309 OCP : Existing: Medium Density Residential Proposed: Medium Density Residential Zoning: Existing: R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Proposed: R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Surrounding Uses North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Designation: Medium Density Residential South: Use: Conservation Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Conservation 1108 -2 -East: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Designation: Medium Density Residential West: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Designation: Medium Density Residential Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential Site Area: 0.816 ha (2 acres) Access: from the lane off of 241A Street Servicing: Full Urban Standard Previous Applications: RZ, SD, DP & VP/062/03 and 2012-SD, DP a) Project Description: The subject property is located within the Albion Area Plan and is developing in accordance with the established neighbourhood and road pattern. It was part of a larger parcel which was rezoned in 2004; at that time the north portion was subdivided into 25 lots, leaving the home site on this 0.861 ha parcel which fronts onto 102 Avenue. An application has now been received to subdivide the remainder into 27 lots under the R-3 zone (Special Amenity Residential District), which permits lots not less than 213 m2. A copy of the subdivision geometry is attached (Appendix D). The development of the site will connect 102A Avenue and the lane off of 102 Avenue through the site. This will improve pedestrian and traffic movement through the area. b) Planning Analysis: An Intensive Residential Development Permit is required for all new Intensive Residential development in an area with an Area Plan. Residential development at densities greater than 30 units per net hectare that is typically zoned R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) is considered as intensive residential. The Section 8.8 Intensive Residential Development Permit Area Guidelines of the Official Community Plan aim to provide a greater emphasis on high standards in aesthetics, with the intent to provide an environment that is safe, attractive, people-friendly and environmentally responsive. The key guideline concepts for the development permit area are as follows: 1. Neighbourhood cohesiveness and connectivity should be maintained through the design of varied yet compatible buildings, in materials used and in architectural styles, in landscapes and in recreational areas, and by facilitating a range of transportation choices. Six different building types with variations in the detail finishes and 8 different colour schemes will ensure that identical buildings will not be adjacent to each other. The building design elements, materials and colour schemes, which are proposed to be along a heritage theme, will compliment the adjacent single family development. A plan showing one of the building’s design elements and front yard landscaping is attached (Appendix B). The site is in close proximity to a Tot Lot and the future Jackson Farm Park; Albion Elementary School is located approximately .6 km from the site. -3 -2. A vibrant street presence is to be maintained through a variety of housing styles, by maintaining street parking and by directing garage structures and off-street parking to the rear of a property accessible by a lane. For visual interest, there are different building finishes and the identical building design will not be repeated within 3 adjacent lots. A Streetscape illustrating the variety of building designs is attached (Appendix C). The project will provide lane access to either a two car garage or carport. c) Requested Variances: Development Variance Permit application 2012-027-VP has been received to request to reduce the required interior side yard for the garages from 2 metres to 1.8 metres in order to facilitate wider garages. Additional variances are requested to vary the road right-of-way widths and carriageway widths of the roads to be consistent with the intent of the Albion Area Plan. These variances are discussed further in application 2011-052-VP which is also before Council for consideration. d) Financial Implications: There will be approximately 18 trees added to the municipal street tree inventory on completion of the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zoned lots of this project. The costs associated with maintaining these trees will need to be included in a subsequent operating budget. CONCLUSION: This proposal conforms to the OCP’s Albion Area Plan, the Intensive Residential DP Area Guidelines, and the neighbourhoods’ existing lot and road pattern and housing form. Therefore, this development is considered an “infill” project and it is recommended that the Development Permit be approved. "Original signed by Charles R.

A solution to this issue has been found whereby the District would finance the cost of the final lift of asphalt and the strata would pay these costs back through a Local Area Service (LAS). Typically, LAS’s are not approved for the provision of services on private lands. Although the strata road is a private facility servicing 28 units, it is also a right-of-way (ROW) accessed by District staff for the maintenance of a District owned sanitary sewer. The 28 residents have filed a valid formal petition, of which 100% have signed, and Council direction is sought regarding preparation of a bylaw to establish an LAS. RECOMMENDATIONS: THAT staff be authorized to prepare a bylaw to establish a Local Area Service to provide the top lift of asphalt to 11160 234A Street; and THAT the capital program be amended to include the paving. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: In 2005, a development application at the corner of 234A Street and Kanaka Way was received for the construction of both single family lots and a strata multi-family complex. The subdivision and rezoning applications were completed in 2005/2006 and securities received for all the off-site municipal servicing. The strata building permit was subsequently received in 2007 and final construction completed in 2008. Prior to the acceptance of the municipal services and issuance of final occupancy, the original developer declared bankruptcy and did not complete the project deficiencies that had been identified. A new developer arranged a private deal to take over the single family portion of the project and completed the remaining municipal deficiencies. The private deficiencies however remained with the original developer including the top lift of asphalt on the strata road and were never completed. 1109 May 2010, the strata requested that the projects securities be used to complete the final lift of asphalt. They were informed that the District only takes securities for the provision of the municipally owned and maintained services and could not legally reassign the securities to complete works not included in the agreement. The securities were subsequently returned to the new developer who completed all the municipal service deficiencies. In 2011, the strata was informed to arrange for the final inspection of the units, provision of Schedules A/B and to pave the final lift of asphalt prior to the issuance of final occupancy for the strata units. In 2012, the strata contacted the District again to request that the strata road be included in the annual capital program. While they were again made aware that it was not the responsibility of the District to complete the private works, staff agreed to review other avenues. One approach considered is a LAS as the District has an interest in the strata road due to the access easement registered on title for the maintenance of the municipal sanitary sewer. Following discussions with legal counsel it was determined that a LAS would be an acceptable approach to paving the road. In lieu of the preliminary petition, the LAS approach was presented to the strata council and they agreed to proceed to the cost estimate and a formal petition stage. On April 13, 2012 the formal petition and cost estimate to pave the final lift of asphalt to serve 28 units in Kanaka Village (shown on the attached sketch 1) were prepared and circulated to residents. On May 2, 2012, the formal petition was returned and the Corporate Officer has determined that the formal petition is sufficient and valid. A total of 100% of the number of properties with a value of 100% of total land and improvements signed the petition. b) Strategic Alignment: The Corporate Strategic Plan includes financial management and environment as strategic focus areas. The financial management focus area encourages the continuation of a user-pay philosophy and the provision of high quality municipal services to our citizens and customers in a cost effective and efficient manner. This project meets these objectives. c) Citizen/Customer Implications: Costs of the final lift of asphalt have been estimated at $24,484.88, to be shared equally among the 28 existing units (the per property cost amounts to $874.46). The owners will be offered the option to either pay the ‘commuted’ cost or have the cost placed on the tax roll and amortized over a period of 15 years at the interest rate agreed to, with the eligibility of paying off anytime during the term without incurring a penalty. This service will provide a 5.5m wide top lift of asphalt for approximately 310m length of strata road. As this is a private road any future maintenance or repaving are the responsibility of the strata. The unit charge is based on an equal division of the total paving cost. d) Interdepartmental Implications: When the construction of the service is completed, the Finance Department will confirm the actual costs, impose the agreed costs as a levy and place the notation on the tax roll of the benefiting property owner. e) Business Plan/Financial Implications: The project will be financed initially from the Local Improvement Revenue. The construction cost of the project will be borne by the owner and any municipal contribution will be provided by the Local Improvement Revenue. f) Policy Implications: The LAS process was established to assist residents with the construction of municipal services in support of community needs. The strata road identified in this LAS however is private property in support of the 28 units and would typically not meet the LAS criteria. The District however through legal opinion has determined that this will not set a precedence as the District has a ROW registered on title over the road for access to maintain the municipal sewer which is intended to service future developments if necessary. As a result of the circumstances of this case, mechanisms are being explored with legal counsel to enable securities to be held by the District for deficiencies internally within a strata development. g) Alternatives: An alternative to address the final lift of asphalt is to not participate in LAS but rather that the residents hire a contractor to pave the road. CONCLUSION: The top lift of asphalt has been requested by the residents of Kanaka Village through a formal LAS Petition. Approval to prepare a bylaw to establish an LAS to provide the top lift of asphalt to 28 lots in Kanaka Village is recommended. _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Stephen Judd, PEng.

Part of the subdivision servicing is considered to be excess or extended servicing in accordance with the Local Government Act. The extended servicing benefits adjacent properties. Latecomer Agreement LC 151/12 provides the municipality’s assessment of the attribution of the costs of the excess or extended servicing to the benefiting lands. RECOMMENDATION: That with respect to the subdivision of lands involved in subdivision SD 013/01 located at 124 Avenue and 203 Street, be it resolved: 1. That the cost to provide the excess or extended services are, in whole or in part, excessive to the municipality and that the cost to provide these services shall be paid by the owners of the land being subdivided, and 2. That Latecomer Charges be imposed for such excess or extended services on the parcels and in the amounts as set out in the staff report dated June 18, 2012; and further 3. That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Excess Capacity Latecomer Agreement LC 151/12 with the subdivider of the said lands. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: The attached map identifies the lands which are involved in the subdivision and those which will benefit from the excess or extended services. The cost breakdown for each excess or extended service is shown on attached Schedule A. In addition, a copy of Excess Capacity Latecomer Agreement LC 151/12 is also attached for information purposes. 1110 b) Strategic Alignment: Administration of excess or extended services legislation complies with the Smart Managed Growth element of the Corporate Strategic Plan. The administration procedure supports the requirement for a developer to construct municipal infrastructure in support of land development and recognizes that the infrastructure may provide benefit to other land. c) Policy Implications: Part 26, Division 11, of the Local Government Act provides that where a developer pays all or part of the cost of excess or extended services, the municipality shall determine the proportion of the cost of the service which constitutes excess or extended service and determine the proportion of the cost of the service to be attributed to parcels of land which the municipality considers will benefit from the service. Latecomer Agreement LC 151/12 will provide such determination for Subdivision SD 013/01. CONCLUSION: A developer has provided certain services in support of Subdivision SD 013/01. Some of the services benefit adjacent lands therefore, it is appropriate to impose Latecomer Charges on the benefitting lands. Latecomer Agreement LC 151/12 summarizes the municipality’s determination of benefitting lands and cost attribution and also establishes the term over which such Latecomer Charges will be applied.

SUBDIVIDER Subdivider -Authorized Signatory Subdivider -Authorized Signatory DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE Corporate Officer -Authorized Signatory District of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin MEETING DATE: June 18, 2012 and Members of Council FILE NO: E02-010-161 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W SUBJECT: Award of Contract No. ITT-EN12-55 122 Avenue Road and Walkability Improvements (216 Street to 222 Street) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The 122 Avenue Road Improvements Project from 216 Street to 222 Street is in the District’s approved Capital Program. The project objectives are to improve multi-modal transportation for the corridor by providing improvements to pedestrian and cycling facility, and provide traffic calming measures with curb extensions and traffic circles. Currently, pedestrians are walking along the existing gravel shoulder and there are many students using the roadway to get to the Secondary School on 122 Avenue. The project scope consists of concrete curb and gutter and asphalt multi-use path on both sides of the roadway, catch basins and lawn basins, three traffic buttons (small traffic circles), curb extensions, and new pavement markings. Pavement rehabilitation that was scheduled in 2010 is now included in the 2012 proposed roadworks. Overall the project aims at improving walkability, traffic safety and cycling mobility. Additional funds for the project were included in the 2012 adopted Financial Plan. Tenders for construction closed on June 4, 2012 with eight (8) bids received. The lowest compliant bid of $1,229,570.00 excluding taxes was submitted by Imperial Paving Limited. The consultant, Aplin & Martin Consultants Ltd. has analyzed the tenders and recommend that the contract be awarded to Imperial Paving Limited. The project is within budget and construction is anticipated to commence in July 2012 and anticipated to be completed in approximately 12 weeks. RECOMMENDATION: THAT Contract ITT-EN12-55, 122 Avenue Road Improvements (216 Street to 222 Street), be awarded to Imperial Paving Limited in the amount of $1,229,570.00 plus applicable taxes; and THAT the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the contract. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Mountainview Crescent (122 Avenue) east of 216 Street is a collector road and bike route that is currently approximately 8.5m wide with 2 paved travel lanes. The existing road is wider in front of the Maple Ridge Secondary School to allow for parking on both sides and there is existing concrete curb and sidewalks in the vicinity of the school. Beyond the school, pedestrians currently walk along the gravel shoulders on 122 Avenue. 1111 The 122 Avenue Road Improvements project identified a need to improve the facilities on this route for pedestrians and cycling so as to promote the use of other modes of transportation. There have also been comments about speeding on this roadway resulting in the proposed traffic calming. The project scope involves construction of concrete curb and gutter and a 2.0m wide asphalt multi-use path on both sides of 122 Avenue from 216 Street to 222 Street for a total length of approximately 1.2 kilometers. To improve safety, three traffic buttons (similar to traffic circles) and curb extensions will be constructed, new cross walks will be painted, and new traffic control signs will be placed. There will be storm sewer work consisting of catch basins and lawn basins connecting to the existing storm sewer in the roadway. A new section of storm sewer east of 221 Street is also required. The existing road is showing signs of pavement distress including alligator and edge cracks. Based on the geotechnical engineer’s recommendation, the existing road will be rehabilitated by grinding out the existing asphalt pavement and repaving with new pavement structure. This will allow the road base and sub base to remain in place preventing a total road failure. To allow for settlement of the storm sewer cross trenches, the top lift of asphalt pavement will be deferred until 2013 during the overlay program. The completed works with new curb and gutter from 216 Street to 222 Street will permit parking only at designated areas by the school and east of York Street on the south side. In the summer of 2011, Aplin & Martin Consultants Ltd. completed the design of the 122 Avenue Road Improvements Project and prepared a construction cost estimate. The estimated cost exceeded the project budget and therefore did not proceed to the tender stage. Additional funding for the project was budgeted and approved by Council in the 2012 Capital Budget. The tender drawings and documents were updated and the project was tendered on May 10, 2012. Tender results Tenders closed on June 4, 2012 with eight tenders received as listed below from lowest to highest price. Tender Price (excluding taxes) Imperial Paving Limited $1,229,570.00 Wilco Civil Inc. $1,284,800.00 Columbia Bitulithic (Lafarge Canada Inc.) $1,350,260.00 TAG Construction Ltd. $1,420,125.00 Marv's Excavating Ltd. $1,465,319.00 Winvan Paving Ltd. $1,565,070.00 B & B Contracting Ltd. $1,635,600.00 Jack Cewe Ltd. $1,645,994.00 Aplin & Martin Consultants Ltd. has analyzed all tenders and recommend that Imperial Paving Limited be awarded the contract. District staff has also reviewed the tenders and concur with the recommendation. b) Desired Outcome: The desired outcome of this report is to obtain Council’s approval to award the contract and construct during the summer school break to minimize the impact to the public. c) Strategic Alignment: The 122 Avenue Road Improvements Project supports the following key strategies identified in the District’s Strategic Plan:  Maintain and enhance a multi-modal transportation system within Maple Ridge to provide citizens with safe, efficient alternatives for the movement of individuals and goods  Promote alternative modes (pedestrian, bike, public transit) of travel to reduce reliance on the automobile d) Citizens/Customer Implications: There have been three Open Houses hosted for this project. The last Open House was held on May 3, 2012 to present the detailed design drawings and anticipated construction schedule. The comments from the Open Houses were generally positive. Most of the comments were property specific such as impact to driveway access and hedges. Some residents also commented on the traffic and parking challenges during school drop-off times. District staff will monitor this issue after completion of the proposed improvements to determine its effectiveness. The estimated construction duration is approximately 12 weeks, starting in July 2012. It is anticipated that traffic through the work zone will be reduced to single lane alternating. e) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering staff have reviewed the traffic circle design with the Fire Department and addressed their concerns for fire truck turning movements. The Operations Department has provided input during the design stage. A District staff inspector will provide inspection services during construction. f) Business Plan/Financial Implications: The 122 Avenue Road Improvements Project is funded under LTC 8305 and 8546, with a total budget of $1,575,000 including $155,600 from grants. The projected expenditures are within budget. 2011 Construction Cost at 216 Street Intersection Current miscellaneous expenditures Consultant fees up to construction 2012 Construction Cost (low bid) Taxes on construction Contract Administration and Inspection Contingency (5%) Total Projected Project Cost $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 72,398 2,797 104,807 1,229,570 21,518 80,290 61,480 1,572,860 CONCLUSIONS: The tender price of $1,229,570.00 excluding taxes, by Imperial Paving Limited for the 122 Avenue Road Improvement Project from 216 Street to 222 Street is the lowest tendered price. Council approval to award the work to Imperial Paving Limited is recommended. “Original signed by Richard Wong” _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Richard Wong, PEng.

The purpose of the application for patron participation entertainment endorsement is to provide entertainment service to their customers on an occasional basis. There is no plans to provide ongoing entertainment but rather to only have the ability to provide entertainment such as karaoke or some other small forms of entertainment for their dining guests from time to time throughout the year. One of the considerations utilized by the LCLB in reviewing an application such as this is a resolution from the local government. Council has three choices. Municipalities can provide a resolution to LCLB based upon a number of regulatory criteria addressed in a Council resolution as well as comments pertaining to the views expressed by area residents. Council has three choices. Council may choose to support the application, not support the application or indicate that they have no comment. Staff have reviewed the area surrounding the subject site and found that the business is surrounded by other commercial businesses that either close at 6:00 p.m. or are similar type establishments to themselves that are also open later on weekends. There does not appear to be any residential areas that would be negatively affected by this minor change to the Liquor Licence for the Lava Room Dining and Lounge. Therefore it does not appear to be any necessity to go the expense of seeking the public input on this particular application. Instead, this appears to be an example of a situation where Council should use their authority to opt out of commenting on an application. The LCLB advises this will not have a negative impact on the application itself. RECOMMENDATION(S): That Council opt out of commenting on the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch Application for Patron Participation Entertainment at the Lava Room Dining and Lounge at 101 – 22590 Dewdney Trunk Road, Maple Ridge. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: The original application was submitted in November of 2010 however it was missing some integral information from the application for the LCLB and the District to proceed and was returned to the applicant for further information submission. 1112 In the past when liquor licence applications have been received staff has established a procedure for sending out information on the application to the general public in the vicinity of the applicant’s location by predefining a specific area and sending out specific name and addressed letters to residents within that area to determine if there are any problems or concerns regarding the application. The parking and access to the site are also checked. Advertisements are placed in the local newspapers to ensure anyone who may have an interest in the application is notified. A specific time frame is given for response. Once all the information is received a report is submitted to Council with a recommendation that is then referred to the LCLB. b) Citizen/Customer Implications: The subject business has been in operation in the same location since 2007 and there has been no complaints filed against the business operation. The application before Council is a minor change to their current business practice. c) Business Plan/Financial Implications: Should Council decide to not comment on this minor amendment there will be a financial impact to the municipality The estimated costs to obtain public comment on the subject application is in the area of $1,000.00 that includes the cost of materials, postage, newspaper costs and staff resources. These are all required for the public input requirement for LCLB. d) Alternatives: To not approve this recommendation and to request the LCLB provide additional time to the District to seek public input. CONCLUSIONS: Since this is a minor alteration to the existing business operation it is recommended that Council approve the recommendation to opt out of providing comments to the LCLB and allow this application to proceed through the remaining of the Liquor Board processing. The expenditure of municipal funds to seek public input on this minor change does not appear to be of value to the District at this time. “Original signed by E.S.

Pension Plan (Note 4) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2011 1. Cash and Investments Cash and Temporary Investments: Cash and temporary investments as at December 31, 2011 were comprised as follows: Dec 31, 2011 Dec 31, 2010 Cash $ 4,929,549 $ 3,062,549 Temporary Investments 22,069,112 27,000,050 $ 26,998,661 $ 30,062,599 Temporary investments are comprised of BC Credit Union term deposits with effective interest rates of 1.6% -2.00%. Additionally, the District holds temporary investments of $1,652,394 ($1,443,453 for 2010) and agreements receivable of $258,450 ($159,918 for 2010) for trusts which are not reported elsewhere in the financial statements. They are held for the following trusts: Balance Dec 31, 2010 Interest Earned Receipts Disbursements Balance Dec 31, 2011 Latecomer Fees $ 59,059 $ -$ 93,390 $ 87,226 $ 65,223 Cemetery Perpetual Care 774,062 99,878 50,978 99,878 825,040 Greater Vancouver Sewer & Drainage District 340,831 -750,018 621,754 469,095 Albion Dyking District 429,419 106 133,187 11,226 551,486 $ 1,603,371 $ 99,984 $ 1,027,573 $ 820,084 $ 1,910,844 Portfolio Investments Portfolio investments include Canadian bank notes and BC Credit Union term deposits with effective interest rates of 1.90% -6.43%. A portion of the bank notes held have interest payments linked to the performance of a set of equities or a financial index without stated or certain interest rates. For these investments, income is recognized as it is received; in 2011 returns were positive and ranged to 5.44%. Included in interest earnings are gains on the sale of investments before maturity. In 2011 gains totalled $1,148,044 ($864,050 for 2010). The District does not hold any asset backed commercial paper or hedge funds. The carrying value of securities is based on the cost method whereby the cost of the security is adjusted to reflect investment income that is accruing and any permanent decline in market value. During the term of individual investments there will be fluctuations in market values. Such fluctuations are considered normal, and if held to maturity, market value will be equal to face value. The carrying value of Portfolio Investments at December 31, 2011 was $90,812,593 ($78,858,466 for 2010). The market value at December 31, 2011 was $90,362,851 ($80,409,332 for 2010), included in this amount is $nil ($500,000 for 2010) for securities shown at cost for investments for which there is no active market. 2. Accounts Receivable 2011 2010 Property Taxes $ 6,258,187 $ 5,749,866 Other Governments 4,770,393 4,211,654 General and Accrued Interest 2,531,650 2,063,871 Development Cost Charges 4,163,340 4,532,167 17,723,570 16,557,558 Less: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (176,100) (155,523) $ 17,547,470 $ 16,402,035 3. Recoverable Local Improvements The District provides interim financing for certain geographically localized capital projects. It recovers these amounts either from benefiting property owners or from provincial subsidies. Interest rates are established at the outset of the process and are a function of borrowing rates at the time. Repayment is typically made over fifteen years. As at December 31, 2011 the recoverable balance was comprised as follows: 2011 2010 Recoverable from property owners Local improvement fund projects $ 1,637,104 $ 2,216,485 Recoverable from Province Sewerage projects -124,187 $ 1,637,104 $ 2,340,672 4. Pension Plan The District and its employees contribute to the Municipal Pension Plan (Plan), a jointly trusteed pension plan. The board of trustees, representing plan members and employers, is responsible for overseeing the management of the Plan, including investment of the assets and administration of benefits. The Plan is a multi-employer contributory pension plan. Basic pension benefits provided are defined. The plan has about 173,000 active members and approximately 63,000 retired members. Active members include approximately 35,000 contributors from local governments. The latest valuation as at December 31, 2009 indicated an unfunded liability of $1,024 million for basic pension benefits. The next valuation will be as at December 31, 2012 with results available in 2013. Defined contribution plan accounting is applied to the Plan as the Plan exposes the participating entities to actuarial risks associated with the current and former employees of other entities, with the result that there is no consistent and reliable basis for allocating the obligation, Plan assets and cost to individual entities participating in the Plan. The District paid $2,360,765 (2010 -$2,099,231) for employer contributions to the Plan in fiscal 2011, while employees contributed $1,946,622 (2010 -$1,727,051) to the plan in fiscal 2011. 5. Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities 2011 2010 Accounts Payable: General $ 5,093,886 $ 4,861,622 Other Governments 6,741,112 6,050,779 Salaries and Wages 663,536 620,986 12,498,534 11,533,387 Accrued Liabilities: Vacation Pay 264,805 334,949 Other Vested Benefits 379,133 353,438 643,938 688,387 $ 13,142,472 $ 12,221,774 6. Long Term Debt (Schedule 4) The District obtains debt instruments through the Municipal Finance Authority (MFA), pursuant to security issuing bylaws under authority of the Community Charter, to finance certain capital expenditures. Debt is reported net of Sinking Fund balances and interest expense is reported net of Sinking Fund earnings. The District carries no debt for others. Debt issued and outstanding as at December 31, 2011 was $38,505,484 ($40,383,494 for 2010). In 2012 the District will enter into additional debt totalling $5.52M under loan authorization bylaw numbers 6659, 6560, 6562 and 6679. The amounts payable over the next five years reflect the District's commitment for both existing debt and amounts that will be borrowed in 2012. The following debenture debt amounts plus related interest are payable over the next five years: 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 $ 1,814,777 $ 2,428,959 $ 2,488,890 $ 2,550,786 $ 2,614,712 The District has the following authorized but un-issued long term debt as at December 31, 2011: L/A Bylaw L/A Amount Expiry Date #6558 $ 6,000,000 July 2013 #6559 1,520,000 July 2013 #6560 900,000 July 2013 #6561 10,671,185 July 2013 #6562 2,675,000 July 2013 #6679 1,800,000 September 2014 #6680 4,680,000 September 2014 $ 28,246,185 7. Other Assets Debt Reserve Fund: The Municipal Finance Authority of British Columbia provides capital financing for regional districts and their member municipalities. The Authority is required to establish a Debt Reserve Fund. Each regional district, through its member municipalities who share in the proceeds of a debt issue, is required to pay into the Debt Reserve Fund certain amounts set out in the debt agreements. The Authority pays into the Debt Reserve Fund these monies from which interest earned thereon less administrative expenses becomes an obligation to the regional districts. It must then use this fund, if at any time there are insufficient funds, to meet payments on its obligations. If this occurs, the regional districts may be called upon to restore the fund. Upon the maturity of a debt issue the unused portion of the Debt Reserve Fund established for that issue will be discharged to the District. The District has estimated that there is only a remote possibility that these funds will not be paid to it and therefore these funds have been included in Other Assets of $610,856 ($590,720 for 2010). 8. Employee Future Benefits The District provides employee future benefits in the form of severance benefits and vested and non-vested sick leave to qualifying employees. These benefits are not separately funded. Severance benefits are cash settlements paid to employees who cease their employment with the District after a specified period of time. Full time employees hired before February 11, 1999 qualify for five days pay per year of employment, provided they either work a minimum of 20 years with the District or retire as defined by the Public Sector Pension Plan Act. Full time employees hired after February 11, 1999 qualify for 20 days pay provided they work a minimum of 10 years with the District and retire as defined by the Public Sector Pension Plan Act. The District permits full time employees to accumulate up to 18 days per year of service for future illnesses up to a maximum of 250 days. For certain qualifying employees a portion of this benefit vests; for the balance, this benefit does not vest and cannot be converted to any other type of benefit. An actuarial valuation of these benefits was performed to determine the District's liability and accrued benefit obligation as at December 31, 2009 and updated for December 31, 2011. The valuation resulted in an unamortized actuarial loss of $700,900 ($486,900 loss for 2010 ) at December 31, 2011. Actuarial gains or losses are amortized over the expected average remaining service life of employees. The benefit liability at December 31, 2011 was $4,684,900, ($4,411,500 for 2010) comprised as follows: 2011 2010 Benefit Liability -Beginning of the year $ 4,411,500 $ 4,468,700 Add: Current service costs 341,900 313,800 Interest on accrued benefit obligation 213,400 224,900 Less: Amortization of actuarial loss (gain) 44,500 13,200 Benefits paid during the year (326,400) (609,100) Benefit Liability -End of the year 4,684,900 4,411,500 Less: Unamortized actuarial loss (gain) 700,900 486,900 Accrued benefit obligation -End of the year 5,385,800 4,898,400 Actuarial assumptions used to determine the District's accrued benefit obligation are as follows: 2011 2010 Discount rate (long-term borrowing rate) 3.40 % 4.25 % Expected future inflation rate 2.50 % 2.50 % Merit and inflationary wage and salary increases averaging 4.55 % 4.55 % Estimated average remaining service life of employees (years) 10.3 10.3 9. Property Tax Levies In addition to its own tax levies, the District is required to levy taxes on behalf of various other taxing authorities. These include the provincial government for local school taxes, incorporated dyking districts located within the District and, organizations providing regional services in which the District has become a member. Total tax levies for 2011 of $98,359,060 , ($93,932,367 for 2010) were comprised as follows. 2011 2010 Municipal Tax Levies $ 61,065,872 $ 57,102,978 Levies for other authorities School taxes 29,434,404 28,992,968 Greater Vancouver Transit Authority 5,623,557 5,664,892 British Columbia Assessment Authority 897,324 894,907 Greater Vancouver Regional District Parks 904,315 883,862 Dyking Districts 430,826 390,170 Municipal Finance Authority 2,762 2,590 Total Collections for Others 37,293,188 36,829,389 Total Tax Levies $ 98,359,060 $ 93,932,367 10. Contingencies, Commitments and Unrecognized Liabilities: (a) Third Party Claims Where losses related to litigation are possible and can be reasonably estimated management accrues its best estimate of loss. For 2011 this estimate is $458,860 ($483,949 for 2010). These amounts are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. There are various other claims by and against the District, the outcome of which cannot be reasonably be estimated. Any ultimate settlements will be recorded in the year the settlements occur. (b) Contractual Obligations (i) Water (a) The District has entered into a cost share agreement with the Greater Vancouver Water District for the construction of infrastructure. Under this agreement the District expects to incur costs of approximately $6,985,712 over the next 3 years. The liability is recorded as the related costs are incurred. (ii) Recreation and Cultural Services (a) In 1998 the District entered into an agreement to purchase ice sheet time for five years commencing in 1999, with a five-year renewal option. In August 2008, the District renewed the agreement for an additional five-year period. The minimum annual payment due for the provision of ice time is $609,225. These payments are recorded as expenses when the ice time is provided. (c) Unrecognized Liability The District holds shares in a non-profit organization that provides protective services to its members. Should the organization dissolve or management choose to withdraw from the organization the District would be liable for a proportionate share of any debt the organization held at that time. The liability is expected to be discharged over time through payments by the District and others for the provision of these services by the organization. Due to the ongoing operations of the organization the liability could only be quantified if the District chose to withdraw. Consequently no liability has been recognized in these financial statements. 11. Restricted Revenues Restricted revenues held by the District as at December 31, 2011 of $41,042,622 , ($37,176,499 for 2010) were comprised as follows: Development Cost Charges Parkland Acquisition Charges Actual Actual Actual Actual 2011 2010 2011 2010 Beginning Balance $ 32,211,726 $ 31,644,928 $ 162,355 $ -Collections and interest 7,020,123 7,174,886 166,482 173,961 Disbursements -operating (610,934) (1,282,185) --Disbursements -capital (2,959,941) (5,325,903) (33,755) (11,606) Ending Balance $ 35,660,974 $ 32,211,726 $ 295,082 $ 162,355 Other Restricted Revenues Total Restricted Revenues Actual Actual Actual Actual 2011 2010 2011 2010 Beginning Balance $ 4,802,418 $ 4,512,279 $ 37,176,499 $ 36,157,207 Collections and interest 295,212 323,696 7,481,817 7,672,543 Disbursements -operating (11,064) (33,557) (621,998) (1,315,742) Disbursements -capital --(2,993,696) (5,337,509) Ending Balance $ 5,086,566 $ 4,802,418 $ 41,042,622 $ 37,176,499 12. Prior Period Adjustments In 2009, the District adopted the provisions of Section 3150 of the PSAB Handbook and recorded the District's tangible capital assets, net of related amortization, as non-financial assets. During 2011, additional information became available about the District's inventory of tangible capital assets and the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted. The change represents less than 0.5% of tangible capital assets. The impact of these changes was to: -Increase opening accumulated surplus by $333,832 -Increase closing accumulated surplus by $3,729,991 as follows: 2010 2010 (restated) (previously reported) Net Financial Position $ 16,503,061 $ 16,503,061 Tangible capital assets (book value) 779,162,639 775,432,647 Undeveloped land bank 14,515,918 14,515,918 Other non-financial assets 797,635 797,635 Accumulated Surplus $ 810,979,253 $ 807,249,261 -Increase annual surplus by $3,396,159 as follows: 2010 2010 (restated) (previously reported) Revenues $ 129,555,181 $ 126,130,641 Expenses (expenditures) other than capital and amortization 79,911,890 79,911,890 Amortization expense 16,779,709 16,751,328 Annual Surplus 32,863,582 29,467,423 13.

In addition, roads and related infrastructure, underground networks and technology assets contributed to the District totaled $21,582,148 ($20,765,925 for 2010) and were capitalized at their fair value at the time of receipt. Property with a book value of $471,471, listed as available for sale at the end of 2010, was reclassified to tangible capital assets during the year. Works of art, artifacts, cultural and historic assets are not recorded as assets in the financial statements. The District controls various works of art and historical treasures including artifacts, paintings, sculptures and mosaics located at District sites and public display areas. 14.

Two bids which were in compliance with the tender documents were received. Based on the tenders received the cost of this project, in combination with the expenses to date for design, survey and building demolition will exceed the previously approved budget of $310,644. Recent experience with similar park construction projects would suggest this level of funding is no longer adequate for the development of a neighbourhood park, particularly with the challenging topography in Silver Valley. This budget figure has been revised for more recent park development projects in the long term capital plan. Staff has considered reducing the scope of work, however removing any of the play elements will only result in an incomplete project that will need to be remedied at a later date. This project is primarily funded through Development Cost Charges (DCC’s). As a result of under spending of DCC funds budgeted to acquire a Silver Valley Neighbourhood Park in 2012, staff are recommending that the construction budget for this Silver Valley Park be increased utilizing these under-spent DCC funds. Award of this tender is recommended RECOMMENDATION: That the tender contract PL12-46 for the construction of Cedar Park be awarded to Wilco Civil Inc. for $310,560 plus HST and that the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the agreement and further, that the financial plan be amended to reflect this change. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: On March 27, 2012 Council authorized staff to proceed with the preparation of tender documents for the construction of Cedar Park based on the concept plan dated February 16, 2012. Following this authorization staff have proceeded with demolition of the existing residence, and issued a tender on May 22, 2012. b) Business Plan/Financial Implications: Two bids for Tender PL12-46 Cedar Park were received. The prices tendered were for the base site works and a separate price list for park amenities. The selection of bids tendered is determined by the base site work price submitted not including HST. Base site work Bid Pricing: Wilco Civil Inc. $250,926.00 Canadian Lawn Care Services Ltd. $279,982.96 1151 The approved budget for the total construction of this park is $310,644. Staff are recommending the budget can be increased with DCC funds to include the base bid, park amenity items listed separately in this tender, the demolition cost, site survey and consultant services for a total project cost $376,610. The DCC funds can be used for both new park acquisition and development of new park sites. As a result of under spending funds to acquire a recent park site in Silver Valley, there is capacity within the overall Park DCC budget to accommodate the additional cost for this park construction.

SUBJECT: Town Centre Incentive Program Partnering Agreements EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On November 1, 2010, Municipal Council approved the framework for an incentive program to encourage accelerated private sector investment. On February 8, 2011, Council approved the use of partnering agreements as one of the tools to support the program, for those projects that advance Town Centre Area Plan goals and objectives. Several projects totaling $37 million in construction value are nearing the stage where partnering agreements are required in order for the District to provide the incentive. In accordance with Council direction, the agreements are presented for consideration at a public meeting, and are subject to Council approval. RECOMMENDATIONS That the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute Partnering Agreements for Building Permit Numbers 11-120295, 12-109255, 11-124858, 11-110037 and 12-112565 to provide financial incentives of $201,212 as part of the Town Centre Investment Incentive Program. DISCUSSION The vision for the Town Centre is dependent upon numerous goals and objectives that cannot be met solely through the actions of the District, and therefore private partners are a critical element in achieving the vision. The projects referred to in this report help to achieve objectives within the Town Centre Area Plan.  Building permit number 11-120292 is for the $7.8 million construction of a four-storey apartment building in Town Centre Sub Area 1, at 12075 Edge Street;  Building permit number 12-109255 is for the $6.8 million construction of a community gaming centre at 22710 Lougheed Highway;  Building permit number 11-124858 is for the $6.3 million construction of a four-storey mixed-use building in Town Centre Sub Area 1, at 11882 226 Street (building 1 of a two building project);  Building permit number 11-110037 is for the $8.9 million construction of a four-storey apartment building in Town Centre Sub Area 1, at 12040 222 Street;  Building permit number 12-112565 is for the $7.5 million construction of a four-storey apartment building in Town Centre Sub Area 1, at 11873 Burnett Street. 1181 Page 2 of 16 The residential projects are eligible for assistance of up to 10% of the Development Cost Charges, to a project cap of $50,000. They do not qualify for the $75,000 cap for LEED-Silver certified (minimum) or where greater than 50% of energy consumption will be sourced from alternative/renewable energy. The commercial project is eligible for assistance of up to 25% of the Development Cost Charges, to a project cap of $25,000. It does not qualify for the $37,500 cap for LEED-Silver certified (minimum) or where greater than 50% of energy consumption will be sourced from alternative/renewable energy. In alignment with the District’s desire for transparency, newspaper notices are scheduled for June 13 and June 20. DESIRED OUTCOME To provide financial incentives to encourage developments that support Council’s vision for a strong and vibrant Town Centre. BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL PLAN IMPLICATIONS As part of a review of 2010 financial performance, General Revenue funding of $500,000 was reserved to support the upfront incentive element of the Town Centre Investment Incentive Program. In March 2012, after a status report indicated the funding was oversubscribed if projects in progress met the program deadline, Council authorized a further $240,000 toward the program. The partnering agreements referred to in this report will required that the reserve will be drawn down by $201,212. In combination with two previous partnering agreements, the balance remaining in the reserve will be $466,618. Beginning Balance $500,000 January 2012 funding 240,000 11566 224 Street -31,094 Paid 22308 Lougheed Highway -41,076 Payment pending 12075 Edge Street -47,076 22710 Lougheed Highway -4,136 11882 226 Street -50,000 Maximum 12040 222 Street -50,000 Maximum 11837 Burnett Street -50,000 Maximum Balance Remaining $466,618 Page 3 of 16 CITIZEN IMPLICATIONS The District’s approach to the incentive program is one of full transparency. After numerous Council reports, presentations and newspaper notices, one citizen comment has been logged with respect to the incentive program. The comment related to using property tax revenue, which is primarily residential, supporting business. This comment should be considered in concert with the recent citizen surveys which communicated strong support for the Town Centre, and a desire for expansion of the commercial base. The incentive program was built upon expanded commercial development, both directly through incentives, and indirectly by encouraging the residential density needed to support businesses. CONCLUSION This report requests Council authorization to execute partnering agreements that will allow the District to provide financial incentives for five development projects noted in this report. The incentives total $201,212 and support the $37 million in construction value represented by these projects. The partnering agreement incentives are a component of a comprehensive incentive program that supports Council’s vision for the Town Centre. “Original signed by Laura Benson” _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Laura Benson, CMA Manager, Sustainability and Corporate Planning “Original signed by John Bastaja” for _______________________________________________ Approved by: Paul Gill, BBA, CGA General Manager: Corporate and Financial Services “Original signed by J.L.
