03 DELEGATIONS
03.01 Adopt-a-Block Society - Update on Activities and Finances
Mr. Edwin Landale, Director, and Ms. Chelsea Meadus, Co-ordinator of Adopt-a-
Black were in attendance to provide a verbal update on the above noted matters. Mr.
Landale advised that he is one of 8 directors of Adopt-a-Block. He thanked Council
for their support during the last three years.
He advised that Adopta-B1ock now has more than 150 active adult volunteers who
contribute from I to 4 hours or more per month to their litter programs. He called.
upon Ms. Chelsea Meadus to provide an update on their programs.
Ms. Meadus explained that Adopt-a-Block has been in operation since 1991.
Community groups and schools are also involved in the program which brings the
volunteers up to 200. Their newest program is Adopt-a-Street which targets the more
rural and high traffic areas. The program currently covers 6 out of 10 proposed areas
and they are looking for sponsors for the remaining four areas.
She provided information on their Saturday Program which targets clean-up in the
main area of the Municipality. Adopt-a-Block has established a number of key
partherships, i.e. the Youth and Justice Advocacy Association. They also receive
advice from the R.C.M.P, the By-law Enforcement Office and the District's
Environmental Technician. Adopt-a-Block has participated in a number of events,
including Rivers Day, Mountain Festival Parade, Communities in Bloom, the Home
Show, Maple Ridge's 125th Anniversary, etc.

Ms. Meadus advised that Adopt-a-Block has strategies for illegal dumping and works
with the By-law Enforcement office in that regard. They also offer educational
programs to provide awareness of the problems associated with litter. She explained
the successful Litter Audit and Paint—a-Can Programs that operate in the schools
which they would like to expand in the coming year.
Mr. Landale advised that their programs are effective and beneficial as is evidenced
by the number of people involved in litter removal, etc. In order to support the
members and volunteers, the services of a Co-ordinator are required. Their major
expense is the Co-ordinator; another major expense is safety supplies. Their income
to pay those expenses comes from various sources, including a one time grant, which
has now been expended. Adopt-a-Block receives small donations from within the
community and the Chamber of Commerce assists with disposal fees. The majority of
their funding is derived from the Fee for Service Agreement with the District which
has been reduced from $25,000 to $15,000. Adopt-a-Block appreciates the District's
financial support but is finding it increasingly difficult to carry on their current
programs or enhance them. The District's contribution covers only about 35% of their
expenses. Adopt-a-Block requests that the Fee for Service Agreement be restored to
the $25,000 level and they look forward to canying on their good workirr'the
community.
The Mayor asked Mr. Landale to submit their request in writing in order that it might
be considered during the upcoming 2000 Budget deliberations.

Discussion
Councillor Clements, Chair of the Audit Committee, read the following statement on the
1999 Amended Budget:
"Following the review of the third quarter actual financial results, it is our practice to
amend the Annual Budget. This allows us to redirect our priorities to respond to
economic changes and meet the objectives of the Municipal operations. The 1999
Annual Budget has been reviewed by Council and I recommend that the by-law be
approved.
Council Meeting Minutes
November 23, 1999
Page 5
For 1999 we are projecting a surplus to our general operating funds of $463,500.
Included in this number was $202,500 of specific transfers from reserves and
accumulated surplus as per the 1999 Annual Budget. These transfers were necessary in
order to balance the 1999 Annual Budget and hold the line on tax increases. We will not
require these reserve transfers. As such, our financial position for the General Revenue
Fund will have a positive net improvement of $261,000. This improvement is the result
of a number of improved revenues and a reduction in expenditures.
For 1999 our revenues are up as a result of improved investment returns, increased sales
of services, building permits and licences. Building activity, although down in most
other areas of B. C. has remained relatively stable in Maple Ridge. This has made a
significant positive impact to our operating results.
More specifically, we are forecasting a revenue gain for interest income of $100,000,
permit revenue of $179,000; recreation leisure centre admissions $55,000; tax penalties
and interest $64,000; and a variety of other areas resulting in an overall positive revenue
variance of $465,000.
We have effected cost savings of $171,000 in Engineering, resulting from $29;000
savings in salaries, a reduction in expenditures in ditch drainage of $26,000 and street and
traffic control of $71,000, and $45,000 in other engineering areas.
We are forecasting cost savings of $243,000 in R.C.M.P. Operations and $37,000 in Fire
Services Operations.
There are also major offsets to these revenue and cost savings. These are as follows:
• support of the Court House to ensure its continued presence - $104,000
• a charge of $74,000 to the Fire Service as a result of a Revenue Canada audit as it
relates to the volunteer force and use of Municipal vehicles.
• $200,000 increase in reserves for expenditures in payroll and other related payroll
costs.
• A not-budgeted 4th Quarter contract payment for the Elderly Citizens Recreation
Association (ECRA) Recreation Centre - $37,000.
• Other miscellaneous expenditure variances - $56,000. - -
There is no amendment for the operating utility funds although the financial position of
each fund is forecast for a modest improvement.
In conclusion, Council and staff through a regular financial performance review have
taken the necessary steps to ensure a balanced budget without a direct compromise to
service to our citizens. During our deliberations, we recognize that the 2000 Budget and
those budgets beyond 2000 will require difficult decisions."
The motion CARRIED.

DEFERRED

No. 5862-1999 be read a first and second time and that rules of order be
waived and that Maple Ridge Council Indemnity and Expenses
Amending By-law No. 5 862-1999 be read a third time.
Discussion
Councillor Gordon advised that due to circumstances beyond Council's control,
this by-law was not dealt with earlier. It has been the policy of the past two
Councils that remuneration for Council be determined by an independent citizens
review committee and dealt with prior to the incoming Council taking office.
That policy prevents Council from having to set its own remuneration.
Councillor Clements stated that because this is a budgetary item, it is clearly
within the purview of the incoming Council to approve the bylaw.
MOVED by Councillor Clements

No. 5862-1999 be deferred to the first meeting of the incoming Municipal
Council.

Discussion
The Manager of Environmental Affairs summarized information contained in her
report dated November 15, 1999.
She advised that the by-law has now received the approval of the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs following third reading on May 25, 1999.
She noted that Council had raised concerns regarding the impact of the by-law on
the Agricultural Land Commission's process for soil deposit applications. Staff
has reviewed the Commission's process and recommends that this by-law be
adopted. It has been confirmed by legal counsel that the District is able to issues
permits under its own by-law for fill activities within the Agricultural Land
Reserve (ALR), including those sites exempted under the Soil Conservation Act
by the Agricultural Land Commission. Under By-law No. 5763-1999,
applications for works within a floodplain or environmentally complex areas will
now require the submission of a report by a professional engineer certifying that
there will be no more settling or subsidence of land, building or structure on the
property or adjoining properties, and that adjoining properties will not be subject
to increased flooding caused directly from storm water run-off from the subject
site. For works within the environmentally complex areas, the District may also
take a $1000 per hectare security to ensure permit compliance.
She further explained that the applicant must provide detailed information with
respect to the justification for the fill as it directly relates to the Building By-law.
She referred to By-law No. 5764 (Item 05.05.02) and advised that by-law
provides for a flat fee of $150.00 which is more equitable that the previous fee
which was based on volume. She further noted that the District now has the
ability to ticket for minor offences under the Municipal Ticket Information (MTI)
system.
On question from Counciior Stewart regarding jurisdictional issues, she
explained that the District could remove itself from application processing in the
ALR but staff is not supportive of that approach at this time as the District would
not have any opportunity to comment on applications in a wide range of upland
and lowland areas of the Municpality. The Agricultural Land Commission is on
side with the Municipal by-law and wants the District to play a bigger role. They
are interested in the District's recommendations on the drainage basin from a
comprehensive perspective.
She further noted that the first step is to implement the by-law which will afford
the District some capability to point to the need for an engineer to be involved in
the storm water design. If the applicant cannot give that assurance, the District
can refuse the permit as the District has control over the permit process. The

District has the responsibility to try and ensure that there is no damage to adjacent
property.
Councillor King asked when the by-law would take effect. The Manager of
Environmental Affairs advised that it will be instantaneous, however, it cannot be
used to enforce infractions that occurred prior to the by-law being adopted.
On question from Councillor Clements, the Manager of Environmental Affairs
advised that there are provisions in the by-law to address the issue of liability.
The motion CARRIED.

Discussion
Councillor King stated that she is concerned about the ratio of recreational green
space to the proposed density, particularly since there are several similar small
scale housing developments in the same area.
The Director of Current Planning displayed an overhead map of the site and the
Albion Guide Plan as it relates to the development of this site and surrounding
properties. He explained the planned road network and identified the proposed
Albion Village Centre and existing and proposed park and school sites. He
explained the storm water and sanitary sewer provisions for the Albion area.
Councillor King stated that she is concerned about the impact of storm water on
Spencer Creek and the creek's capacity to handle that run-off during rains. She
assumes that more information will be forthcoming on that issue at the Public
Hearing. She will also want to know at the Public Hearing how intensely Albion
Village will be developed and what green space it will have. She is atso
concerned about the greenway connections and the impact of the three large
parallel streets that run in close proximity and how they will impact the livability
of the area.

Policy be adopted when final reading is given to the amending by-laws

Discussion
Councilor Gordon spoke against the policy to continue the use of restrictive
covenants to prohibit secondary suite in new single family residential dwellings.
She noted that new homes are the source of some of the best secondary suite stock
coming onto the market and they are already available in some of the homes that
have restrictive covenants.
Councillor King expressed agreement with Councillor Gordon.
Councillor Baker spoke in support of retaining the restrictive covenants, noting
that they offer protection for residents who moved into a single family residential
neighbourhood.
Councillor Stewart also spoke in support of retaining the restrictive covenants,
noting that the District will have its hands full governing the secondary suites that
are already available. Once they are under control, Council could then look to
going to the next step; he feels that nothing more should be done at this point in
time.
The motion CARRIED. Councillors Gordon and King OPPOSED.

Councillor C. Gordon
Councillor Gordon noted that this month marks the 10th anniversary of the unanimous
all-party resolution passed by the House of Commons to end child poverty by the year
2000. The National Report Card on Child Poverty has just been released and Canada has
failed miserably to meet that goal as more children than ever are living in poverty; the
number is around 60%. She is hopeful that this Council will continue to pursue some of
the initiatives they have in the past such as affordable housing. She will continue to work
with the Hunger Coalition for improvements.

1999 Amended Budget
Councillor's Report - Councillor Jim Clements
Following the review of the third quarter actual financial results, it is our
practice to amend the Annual Budget. This allows us to redirect our priorities
to respond to economic changes and meet the objectives of the Municipal
Operations.
The 1999 Amended Budget has been reviewed by Council, and I recommend
that the Bylaw be approved.
For 1999 we are projecting a surplus to our general operating funds of
$463,500. Included in this number was $202,500 of specific transfers from
reserves and accumulated surplus as per the 1999 Annual Budget. These
transfers were necessary in order to balance the 1999 Annual Budget and hold
the line on tax increases. We will not require these reserve transfers. As such,
our financial position for the General Revenue Fund will have a positive net
improvement of $261,000. This improvement is the results of a number of
improved revenues and a reduction in expenditures.
For 1999 our revenues are up as a result of improved investment returns,
increased sales of services, building permits and licences. Building activity
although down in most other areas of B.C. has remained relatively stable in
Maple Ridge. This has made a significant positive impact to our operating
results.
i s
More specifically, we are forecasting a revenue gain for interest income of
$100,000, permit revenue of $179,000, recreation leisure centre admissions of
$55,000, tax penalties and interest of $64,000 and a variety of other areas
resulting in an overall positive revenue variance of$ 465,000.
We have effected cost savings of $171,000 in Engineering, resulting from
$29,000 savings in salaries, reduction in expenditures in ditch drainage of
$26,000 and street and traffic control of $71,000 and $45,000 in other
engineering areas.
We are forecasting cost savings of $243,000 in R.C.M.P. Operations and
$37,000 in Fire Services Operations.
There are also major offsets to these revenue and costs savings. These are as
follows:
• support of the CourtHouse to ensure its continued presence for $104,000.
• a charge of $74,000 to the Fire Service as a result of a Revenue Canada audit
as it relates to the Volunteer Force and use of municipal vehicles.
• $200,000 increase in reserves for expenditures in payroll and other related
payroll costs
• A not budgeted 4". Quarter contract payment for E.C.R.A. Recreation
Centre for $37,000
• Other miscellaneous expenditure variances of $56,000.
There is no amendment for the operating utility funds although the financial
position of each fund is forecast for a modest improvement.
In conclusion, Council and staff through a regular financial performance review
have taken the necessary steps to ensure a balanced budget without a direct
compromise to service to our citizens. During our deliberations, we recognize
that the 2000 Budget and those budgets beyond 2000 will require difficult
decisions.
For the benefit of the press and the public we have made available a handout
that summarizes the changes and highlights some key areas.
Thank you
Councillor J. Clements
Chairman of the Finance and Administration Committee
Notes to the Amended Budget
Following the review of the third quarter actual financial results and it is our practice to
amend the Annual Budget. This allows us to redirect our priorities to respond to
economic changes that have occurred in the year. For the year, and including specific
budgetary transfers, we are forecasting a budgetary surplus of
For 1999 we are projecting the following:
Increasing revenues;
• investment income up $100,000
• permit revenue up $179,000 due to continued building activity;
• tax penalties and interest up $64,000 due to higher outstanding taxes
• increase in miscellaneous revenues of $158,000
Savings from decreased expenditures:
• Corporate Services and Business Management salaries savings $101,000.
• RCMP Operations of $243,000
• Engineering Operations of $171,000
• Net savings in Parks and Recreation of $48,000 including emergency services for
flooding of $17,000.
Increasing costs:
• ECRA Senior Recreation Centre contract for the 4th quarter - $37,000.
-increase costs- in the Fire-Department of $47;000 due primarily to revenue audit costs
of $74,000.
• Labour relation - $74,000
• Bad debts - property - $30,700.
• Payroll and related burden - $200,000
• Provincial Govt. payment to retain the court house in Maple Ridge - $104,000

- '.. .
The Amended Budget does not address the utility operating funds. The Sanitary Sewer
Fund will generate an improved surplus due to an increased return on investments. The
Water Utility Fund was budgeted for a deficit due to the capital phase-in of the GVWD
capital infrastructure program. This deficit will be marginally reduced. We have set our
rate structure to phase-in the costs to finance our share of the G.V.R.D. capital
infrastructure.

Farewell To Maple Ridge Council
November23 1999.
Mr. Mayor, I must congratulate you on your years of
leadership. You have managed to bring a diverse group of
individuals to consensus on all but a very few of the issues that
came before council. That is a magnificent achievement.
Tonight marks my 1 85th council meeting. All meetings have
been interesting many have been challenging and most have
met the goals and objectives that I hold dear to my heart. I
have always made my decisions with the best interests of all
the residents of the Municipality. Sometimes it has been
difficult as local interest groups have condemned this
approach as not listening. Closely focused groups, I have
found, often do not consider the total needs of every resident
of Maple Ridge and that is most unfortunate.
During my years on Council, I have been subjected to a very
steep learning curve that never seemed to diminish. There was
always a new challenge and new information to digest and new
procedures to adopt as well as several significant changes to
the Municipal Act. Those amendments generated a deep
personal need to investigate the impact and the results that
might occur.
The Maple Ridge staff have been exquisite in completion of
and totally committed to their duties. I commend them for
their dedication. Maple Ridge is truly a leader among
municipalities and has often been asked for copies of
/ innovative management and financial procedures. I wish them
all well for the future and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year of the Millennium.
To the new incoming council; I wish them good luck, good
learning and good decisions. I know from personal experience
that it will be a steep learning curve that they face and they
will need every personal reserve to accept and achieve success
in the face of the inquisitions that are sure to arise.
Mr. Mayor it has been challenging, informative and an
experience that I will never forget. For that I must thank the
staff, my colleagues past and present and the people of Maple
Ridge that permitted me to meet what I view as my civic
duties.
Thank you all!

MEETING DECORUM
Council would like to remind all people present tonight that serious issues are decided at
Council meetings which affect many people's lives. Therefore, we ask that you act with the appropriate decorum that a Council Meeting deserves. Commentary and conversations by the

TO: His Worship Mayor C. Durksen
and Members of Council
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: RZ/33/99
(12689 - 227B St.)
DATE: June 14, 1999
FILE NO: R2./33/99
ATTN: C of W - PW & Dcv
I EXECUTIVE SWvIMARY:
An application has been submitted to rezone the westerly portion of property located at 12689 227B
St. to R-1 (Residential District). The applicant is requesting that Council favourably consider this
rezoning application in order to facilitate a subdivision creating one additional parcel approximately
525 m in area. This is an infill development guided by the objectives of Policy 25 of the Official
Community Plan.
II RECOMMENDATION:
That application RZJ33/99 (for property located at 12689 227B St.) to rezone property
described in the memorandum dated June 14, 1999 from RS-1 (One Family Urban
Residential) to R.1 (Residential District) be forwarded to Public Hearing noting that the
conditions to be met prior to Public Hearing and prior to final consideration of the Zone
Amending Bylaw are detailed in that memorandum.
Condition to be met prior to first reading:
1) Fully dimensioned development plan including:
Neighbourhood context plan;
Site plan;
- Contextual .buiiding scheme.
And that j,rior to final approval the following must be complete:
1) A Restrictive Covenant for building design must be registered at the Land Title Office to
insure the new homes are compatible with the existing neighbourhood.
III BACKGROUND:
Applicant: Genesis Development Consultants
Owner: Ace Woodworks Ltd.
Legal Description: Lot D, Sec. 20, Tp. 12, Plan LN'39034, NWD
-1-
Existing: Single Family Residential (15 upnh)
Proposed: Single Family Residential (15 upnh)
Zoning:
Existing: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
Proposed: R-.1 (Residential District)
Surrounding Uses:
N: Single Family Residential
S: Single Family Residential
E: Single Family Residential
W: Single Family Residential
Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential
Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential
Access:• 127 Avenue
Servicing: full urban
Previous Applications: n/a
IV PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The subject property is 1300 m in area. This would typically yield two lots 650 m2 each. However
there is an existing home that occupies the east side of the property. In order to maintain the
required 7.5 m rear yard setback for the existing home, the new lot, fronting 127 Ave. will be
approximately 525 m 2 in area. Although the lot will be smaller than the average lot in this
neighbourhood, the width of the lot at the building line equals the minimum width of a conventional
RS-1 lot (18 rn).
V PLANNING ANALYSIS
(i) Official Community Plan
Policy 25 of the Official Community Plan was introduced to facilitate this type of small scale infill
development. This policy encourages small scale housing development which maintains the overall
housing density in existing residential neighbourhoods is suitably integrated and respects the
character of the neighbourhood.
This neighbourhood was created in December 1993. The lots range from 668 m2 to 798 m 2.
However the majority of the parcels are between 668 m 2 and 670 in2. The subject property is one of
two remaining large lots in the im.mediate neighbourhood. The other large lot, located at 12710 -
227 St. has been preplanned as a two lot subdivision achievable under the existing RS-1 zoning.
Accordingly this subdivision proposal will be the only small scale infihl development in this
neighbourbood.
To insure that the house constructed on this lot respects the intent of Policy 25, it is recommended
that a Restrictive Covenant for building design be registered against the lot.

and Members of Council
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN Council
SUBJECT: 1999 Annual Budget Amending By-law
EXECUTIVE SUMIIARY:
Following the review of the third quarter actual results it is necessary to amend the 1999 Annual Budget.
This will redirect our priorities to respond to economic changes and meet the objectives of Municipal
Operations. For our purposes it is classified as the 1999 Recast Budget.
The financial results for the General Revenue Fund are favourable and we are projecting a surplus of
$463,500 vs. the Annual Budget forecast of $79,800. Improved revenues are the result of increased
return on investments, sales of various services, building permits and reduced operating costs in various
areas.
RECOMMENDATION:
That "Maple Ridge Annual Budget Amending By-law No. 5863-1999" be read a first and second
time and that the Rules of Order be waived and "Maple Ridge Annual Budget
(Year End) Amending By-law No. 5863-1999"be read a third time.
BACKGROUND:
Attached for your approval, the proposed amended budget for the consolidated activities (Statement 1),
with a further breakdown of the consolidated activities into operating (Statement 2), capital (Statement 3)
and reserve funds (Statement 4). The Schedules A, B, & C which represent the operating statements are
not based on the consolidated format as are the Statements 1 - 4 but are shown on a fund basis of
accounting and are only presented for information. The operating funds are represented by general
revenue fund (Schedule A), water operating fund (Schedule B) and sewer revenue funds (Schedule Q.

SUBJECT: Final Reading- Maple Ridge Soil Deposit Bylaw No. 5763-1999
Final Reading- Maple Ridge Soil Deposit Fee Bylaw No. 5764-1999
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff have drafted, for Council's consideration, a newly revised Soil Deposit Regulation Bylaw No.
5763-1999 and Soil Deposit Fee Bylaw No. 5764-1999 taking into consideration the processing of
permit applications within the Agricultural Land Reserve, and the need for improved bylaw
enforcement and permit fee adjustments.
On May 25th, 1999 both of these bylaws received 3rd reading from Council and on October 13, 1999
Bylaw No. 5 764-1999 was approved by the Minister of Municipal Affairs.
Following concerns raised by Council regarding the permit approval process for applications within
the Agricultural Land Reserve staff have reviewed the bylaws taking into consideration: (1) the
responsibility the District has to participate in the processing of soil deposit applications within the
ALR; and (2) how the District could better influence the requirements of the permit process when and
if the District was involved.
Staff would like to recommend, having discussed the matter with legal counsel, that Council consider
adopting both bylaws as they are written.
RECOMMENDATIONS
That the Maple Ridge Soil Deposit Regulation Bylaw No. 5763-1999 be reconsidered and
adopted; and
That the Maple Ridge Soil Deposit Fee Amending Bylaw No. 5764-1999 be reconsidered
and adopted.
BACKGROUND
The Municipal Act provides Council with the authority to regulate or prohibit the deposit of soil on
any land within the municipality or in any area of the municipality. The deposit of soil has been
regulated in the District of Maple Ridge since 1991. The bylaw was originally established to ensure
that deposit activities were carried out in a safe and sound manner to try and ensure no adverse impact
on adjacent lands. I believe that this is still the reason the District regulates the deposit of soil in
Maple Ridge and that this speaks to the justification of the District remaining involved in the
processing of ALR soil deposit applications.
The District's legal counsel is of the opinion that with proper notification the District could remove
itself from application processing in the ALR but staff are not supportive of this approach at this time.
The land encompassed within the ALR in Maple Ridge is much larger than just the unprotected
floodplain areas of 224th Street and the District would be eliminating itself from having any
opportunity to comment on applications in a wide range of upland and lowland areas of the
community.
With the adoption of the new Soil Deposit Bylaw the District will be able to permit under its own
bylaw fill activities within the ALR, including those sites exempted under the Soil Conservation Act
by the Agricultural Land Commission. This has been reviewed and confirmed by legal counsel.
Under Soil Deposit Regulation Bylaw No. 5763-1999 applications for works within a floodplain will
now require the submission of a report by a professional engineer (Section 7.17) certifying that:
- there will be no more settling or subsidence of land, a building or a structure on the property or
adjoining properties; and
- adjoining properties will not be subject to increased flooding caused directly from stormwater
runoff from the subject site.
For works within the floodplain the District may also take a $1000/hectare security to ensure permit
compliance (Section 9).
CONCLUSION
It is the opinion of District staff that the amendments proposed for the soil deposit permit process
would improve applicant accountability and permit compliance affording greater protection to the
environment and adjacent property owners both in and outside of the Agricultural Land Reserve.

10. SOIL DEPOSIT REQUIREMENTS
Filling will at all times be conducted in accordance with the following requirements:
10.1 The slope of any part of an exposed face of any fill will not be greater than the
angle of repose necessary for stability of the fill.
10.2 The fill will not in any way interfere with the established above or below ground
drainage pattern of any adjoining lands, and will not cause the groundwater table
to rise on adjoining lands so as to cause flooding or malfunctioning of a septic
disposal system or contamination of a well. Where necessary, a system of
interceptor or relief drains will be installed which are sufficient to compensate for
any interference which might otherwise occur to established drainage patterns as
a result of the fill project.
10.3 The fill will be graded in such a manner that positive gravity drainage is assured,
and a drainage system of sufficient capacity and extent will be installed to ensure
that runoff to any adjacent lands will be no greater than run-off prior to the
commencement of the fill project.
10.4 Fill must not be deposited over any dedicated public right-of-way or registered
easement without first obtaining the written approval of the authority having
jurisdiction over the right-of-way or easement, and a copy of the written approval
has been provided to the Manager of Environmental Affairs.
10.5 Where the natural subsoil is compressible no fill will be placed in the immediate
vicinity of any utilities or services which might be damaged by settlement of the
fill without first obtaining written approval from the authority having jurisdiction
over the right-of-way or easement, and a copy of the written approval has been
provided to the General Manager, Public Works and Development Services.
10.6 Fill must not be placed over wells or private sewage disposal systems.
Bylaw No. 5763-1999
Page 9
10.7 All damage to District or privately owned drainage facilities, natural
watercourses, roads, lanes, or other District or privately owned properties or
facilities, resulting from fill project must be promptly and properly repaired to
the complete satisfaction of the District.
10.8 Dirt, mud debris etc. resulting from a fill operation which is tracked onto public
roads so as to cause a hazard or a nuisance must be removed on a daily basis or
as directed by the Manager of Environmental Affairs or alternate. Should the
permit holder fail to do so, the District may direct others to perform this work
and the cost will be the responsibility of the permit holder. The permit holder
must remit all payments within 14 days of receiving the invoice(s). If the permit
holder fails to remit all payments within the specified time frame, the District
may draw on all or part of the irrevocable letter of credit to cover the cost of the
work and/or suspend the permit until all bills have been paid, or both.
10.9 All drainage facilities and natural watercourses must be kept free of silt, clay,
sand, rubble, debris, gravel, and all other material originating from the fill
project, which might cause obstruction to drainage facilities and natural
watercourses.
10.10 Stockpiles of soil which are part of a fill project must be confined to the locations
prescribed in the permit and must be maintained in accordance with Best
Management Practices so there are no adverse effects or damage to adjacent
properties.
10.11 The fill must not encroach upon, undermine, damage or endanger any adjacent
property or any setbacks prescribed in the permit.
10.12 Filling is prohibited on any Sundays and is restricted to between the hours of
8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. any other day of the week.
10. RECTIFICATION PROVISIONS
Upon completion of filling, the permit holder will forthwith:
11.1 Leave all surfaces of the filled area with a slope not greater than the grade shown
on the plans filed pursuant to Section 10.1 and as specified in the permit.
11.2 Cover all surfaces of the fill with an established growth of grass or other ground
cover suitable for erosion control.
11.3 Should the necessary rectification of the property not be completed within a
period of ninety (90) days following expiration of the permit, all letters of credit
held as security for the project will be cashed and all monies will be held by the.
District until the completion of all required works.
11.4 Should the permit holder not complete all the necessary rectification work to the
satisfaction of the District, under the terms of the covenant registered against the
property the District will enter the lands and carry out the necessary work or the
work that can be completed using the total amount of the bond monies.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W - PW & Dev
SUBJECT: RZ/13/99
(10515 & 10595 240 St. and 23950 Zeron Ave.)
I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the above noted properties to permit the subdivision into
approximately 21 lots. The proposal is in compliance with the density designations of the Official
Community Plan and will provide lots under the RS-lb and CD-1-93 zone. In order to advance this
application to the December Public Hearing the applicant has asked that Council grant reading to
the Zone Amending By-law 5854 - 1999.
II RECOMMENDATION:
That application RZI13/99 (for property located at 10515 & 10595 240 St. and 23950 Zeron
Ave.) to rezone property described in the memorandum dated October 19, 1999 from RS-3
(One Family Rural Residential) to RS-lb (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential)
and CD-1-93 (Amenity Residential District) be forwarded to Public Hearing and that 1"
reading be given to Maple Ridge Zone Amending By-law 5854 - 1999.
Condition to be met prior to first reading:
1) A fully dimensioned subdivision plan has been received.
And that prior to final approval the following must be complete:
Registration of a Rezoning Development Agreement including the deposit of security as
outlined in the Agreement;
A geotechnical report which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed
-- development;
Road dedication as required for 240 St.;
Application for inclusion of the site into Sewer Area "A";
Consolidation of the development site.
III BACKGROUND:
Applicant: Genesis Development Consultants Ltd.
Owner: J & J McLaughlin, S & S Singh and H & C Romani
Legal Description: Lot 9, Plan 29456; Lot 3, Except Parcel "A" (E.P. 16557) Plan
3825 and Parcel "A" (E.P. 16557) of Lot 3, Plan 3825 all of
D.L. 406 & 408, NWD
OCP:
Existing: Single Family Residential (18 upnh)
Proposed: Single Family Residential (18 upnh)
Zoning:
Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential)
Proposed: RS-lb (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential) and
CD-1-93 (Amenity Residential District)
Surrounding Uses:
New residential development is to the north, east & west. There
is development potential to the south for residential use.
Existing Use of Property: Residential
Proposed Use of Property: Residential
Access: 240 St. and Zeron Ave.
Servicing: required at zoning (Sanitary Sewer)
Previous Applications: n/a
IV PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The site is within the Cottonwood area. It consists of 3 separate properties for a total of 1.983 ha.
The topographic constraints and arterial status of 240 St. require that lots receive access via a lane
system. The topography dictates that no vehicular connection to Zeron Ave. can be achieved with
the lane however a pedestrian pathway will be incorporated with the subdivision to link to Zeron
Ave. Zeron Ave. currently provides access to an existing home site through the Kanaka Ridge
development. This development proposal would continue to provide the lot off of Zeron with a
reduced road standard that will require approval of a Development Variance Permit at the
subdivision stage. As well, this development will accommodate another connection with the
Kanaka Ridge development through to Slatford St.
V PLANNING ANALYSIS
(i) Official Community Plan
Schedule "B" of the Official Community Plan designates the site as Single Family
Residential (18 upnh). The development proposal is for approximately 21 lots of varying
size and is in compliance with that designation. In order to achieve the overall density as
proposed the properties must be consolidated into one development site.
-2-
IV SERVICING CONCERNS
The Engineering Department have advised that all the services required in support of the
development application do not exist to the site. It will, therefore, be necessary for the owner to
enter into a Rezoning Development Agreement for the extension of the Sanitary Sewer prior to final
reading. It will be necessary to have the property included into Sewer Area "A", an application,
through the Clerks Department must be made. It will also be necessary to dedicate road right of
way along the 240 Street frontage to achieve the arterial standard. Given the topographical
constraints a geotechnical report which addresses the slope stability and utility and road corridors is
required.
VI CONCLUSION:
Staff support the development plan and recommend that the application proceed to Public Hearing.

IV PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
An application has been submitted to rezone properties located at 24103 and 24127 102 Ave. The
applicant is requesting the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zone in order to subdivide the
subject properties into residential lots with a minimum area of 213 m 2. The development site
borders the western perimeter of the Albion Village Centre. The subdivision pattern submitted
substantially complies with the Albion Guideplan and is a continuation of the small lot subdivision
pattern established by existing new developments in this area.
With other neighborhoods in the Albion area that are predominantly comprised of R —3 (Special
Amenity, Residential District) development, Council has requested that neighborhood play space
-2-
for small children be provided. This is in recognition of the limited yard space available with each
residence. The Albion Guide Plan identifies a" tot - lot" at the centre of this development and the
Development Plan addresses this requirement. It is recommended that the park area be dedicated
and the cost of development be secured in advance of final zoning.
V PLANNING ANALYSIS
Official Community Plan
The subject properties are designated Compact Housing at 40 upnh and Conservation. The
Compact Housing designation accommodates both conventional townhouse development
and single family on small lots, as is proposed by this application. The developer proposes
to protect the designated watercourse by dedicating the riparian area as park. It is
recommended that this be completed as a condition of rezoning.
Traffic Assessment
The Implementation Strategies of the Official Community Plan identifies the need for road
and intersection improvements on 102" Avenue and 240th Street, in support of urban
development in the area. While existing development activity does not warrant all of the
upgrading envisioned for these streets, it is apparent that some intersection improvements -
may be necessary at 102 Avenue and 240 " Street to support further development. It is
recommended that these improvements be secured as a condition of zoning approval.
Servicing concerns
Required urban services, including sanitary sewer and storm sewer do not presently frontthe
subject properties. As a condition of rezoning the developer must enter into a Rezoning
Development Agreement and deposit security to provide for sewer extensions to the
development site.
The subject properties are currently not included in Sewer Area "A". An application for
inclusion must be submitted to the Municipal Clerk prior to final zoning approval.
Lot Geometry
Thcaforementioned watercourse, located across.the northern portion. of 24127. - 102 Ave.,
meanders above the north boundary. At the north easterly location the watercourse dips
south into the property. The developer will be requesting approval for an irregular width for
the riparian corridor from the Ministry of Environment, Fish and Wildlife Branch. The
proposed width reflects the opportunities and constraints imposed by the creek location and
adjacent streets. For three proposed lots adjacent to this area, the parcel depth is 24 metres.
The R-3 zone requires a minimum parcel depth of 27 metres. The developer is proposing
that the three lots be 13.3 m in width providing areas ranging from 319 m 2 to 327 m2 . The
minimum area of an R-3 lot is 213 m 2.
-3-
Section 920 (2) (a) of the Municipal Act permits geometric changes by registration of a
Development Permit. In order to facilitate registration of a Development Permit, a new
Development Permit Area will be added to the Official Community Plan. The Development
Permit Area will deal with development of lands that are adjacent to environmentally
sensitive areas and have limited and restrictive potential due to topographic constraints.
VI CONCLUSION:
Application RZ/52/99 proposes a residential land use which complies with the existing Official
Community Plan designation and Councils adopted Albion Guideplan. Accordingly it is
recommended that this application be supported and forwarded to Public Hearing.

IV PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The District has received a rezoning application for property addressed at 24415 102 Avenue. The
applicant is requesting to rezone the property to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) in order
to subdivide into approximately 69 residential lots. The subject property is located along the
western perimeter of Albion Park. The subdivision geometry illustrates that this proposal is a
continuation of the subdivision pattern approved on the properties located immediately to the west.
Accordingly, the proposed land use complies with the Albion Guide Plan. In accordance with the
plan, their development creates road frontage for Albion Park, providing access for, the
neighborhood.
-2-
V PLANNING ANALYSIS
(1) Official Community Plan
The property is currently designated Compact Housing at 30 upnh on the Official
Community Plan. A density calculation submitted by the applicants' consultant concludes
that this project has a density of 37.29 upnh. Other R-3 projects have recognized that the
densities do exceed 30 upnh where there is little or no park dedication required.
Accordingly, support of the overall density achieved with R-3 development requires an
Official Community Plan amendment to 40 upnh.
Respecting Council's policy regarding the Official Community Plan amendment, prior to
Public Hearing the applicant must have a Public Information meeting to inform the
neighbourhood of the details of the project.
Geotechnical Considerations
The Albion Master Drainage Plan identifies an area of the northeast corner of the site as
being geotechnically sensitive. The control plan shows a portion of this area dedicated as
"Park". However, there is also a road located through this area with lots fronting the road.
It is recommended that the applicant provide a geotechnical engineer's report that addresses
the suitability of the site for the proposed development, including site stability,
recommendations for building setbacks and any special measures for constructing roads and
services. The report must also identify lands to the north to ensure that the roads and
services can be extended.
Sewer Area "A"
To establish collection of the urban sewer levy the property must be included in Sewer Area
The application must be submitted to the Municipal Clerk prior to final zoning
approval.
Traffic Study
The Implementation Strategies of the Official Community Plan identifies the need for road
and intersection improvements on 102nd Avenue and 240th Street, in support of urban
development, in the, area. While existing. development activity, does not warrant all of the
upgrading envisioned for these streets, it is apparent that some interseôtion improvements
may be necessary at 102 Avenue and 240 1h Street to support further development. It is
recommended that these improvements be secured as a condition of zoning approval.
Servicing Concerns
As a result of subdivision approval of lands directly west of this project all the required
services to the property have been secured for.
-3-
VI CONCLUSION:
Application RZ/59/99 proposes a residential land use which complies with Council's adopted
Albion Guide Plan. Accordingly, it is recommended that this application be supported and
forwarded to Public Hearing.

SUBJECT: ALR/27/99
(1 141624Oth Street)
I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received under Section 12(1) of the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC)
Act to exclude approximately 1.9 hectares from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). At a
Council meeting on June 22 d 1999 it was resolved:
That consideration of application ALRJ27/99 (located at 114162401h Street) for the
property described in the report dated June 1u, 1999, be deferred until completion of
the review of Agricultural Land Reserve Policies.
In reviewing the ALR Policies presented to the ALC at the October 1999 meeting, there does not
appear to be good and sufficient reason under the present application to consider this exclusion
application further.
II RECOMMENDATION:
That application ALRJ27/99 for the property described as Lot 1, Plan 7917, Section Is, Twp.
12 NWD Group 1, and located at 11416240th Street, not be authorized to proceed to the
Agricultural Land Commission.
III BACKGROUND:
An application has been received to exclude approximately 1.9 hectares of land from the ALR.
Attached is the memo dated June 1St, 1999 that recommended deferral of consideration at that time.
IV PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This application is for exclusion from the ALR. The Owner has not indicated what his future
intentions are for the use of this site other than to construct a new home. There are no restrictions
for land in the ALR that would prohibit the existing use or proposed new house construction.
-1-
0(°
V PLANNING ANALYSIS
The policies discussed at the October Pt 1999 Council meeting with the ALC for this area focused
on retaining land in the ALR with the clustering and consolidation option offering some variety in
use.
The ALC supports retention in the ALR. Council has in the past indicated support for Option 4
from the Rural Plan "To retain in the ALR". Consequently, staff are of the opinion that an
exclusion application is inconsistent with the views of both Council and the ALC.
VI CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that this exclusion application not be authorized to proceed to the Agricultural
Land Commission.

SUBJECT: ALR127199
(1l4l624Oth Street)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received under Section 12(1) of the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC)
Act to exclude approximately 1.9 hectares from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR).
Council Policy for this area recommends that the lands be retained in the ALR and that Council
consider applications for subdivision of lands within the reserve on their merit. Since adoption of
this policy, the Rural Plan Advisory Committee (RPAC) prepared a series of recommendations
regarding ALR lands, including Subarea C in which the subject parcel is located. RPAC were split
on the options for this area, and in the Summary of Council Decisions on Implementation of the
Rural Plan, Council endorsed Option 3 (Transition Area principles) which retained this area in the
ALR: The ALC were not in agreement with Option 3 and Council subsequently agreed to accept
the approach outlined in Option 4 (with the inclusion of the clustering/consolidation principle) as a
starting point for further discussions with the ALC.
As there are issues to resolve with the ALC, it is recommended that consideration of this application
be deferred at this time.
II RECOMMENDATION:
That consideration of application ALR/27199 (located at 11416.240th Street) for the property
described in the memorandum dated June 1g, 1999, be deferred until completion of the review
of Agricultural Land Reserve Policies.

An application has been received to exclude approximately 1.9 hectares of land from the ALR. The
Applicant has satisfied all "notice of exclusion" requirements under Section 5 of B.C. Regulation
313/78 (Agricultural Land Reserve Procedure Regulation). As a result of this notice, the Planning
Department has not received any verbal or written submissions of support or disagreement from
residents to the date of this memo.
IV PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This application is for exclusion from the ALR. The Owner has not indicated what his future
intentions are for the use of this site other than to construct a new home. There are no restrictions
for land in the ALR that would prohibit the existing use or proposed new house construction.
V PLANNING ANALYSIS
Official Community Plan
The subject site is designated Agricultural on the Official Community Plan (OCP). Lands
bordering the subject site to the south are designated Single Family Residential, with Conservation
and are within the urban boundary of the Albion OCP Area.
Current Council Policy in this area recommends that the lands be retained in the ALR and that
Council consider applications for subdivision of lands within the reserve on their merit.
Rural Plan
The subject site is located in Sub-area C of the Rural Plan. The RPAC supported what was called a
"transition proposal" for ALR lands west of the Smith Avenue urban area. This proposal had four
options, and Council chose Option 3. This option reads as follows:
Retain in the ALR and adopt the following principles for the area:
Preserve rural character with transition buffering.
Need to establish a density with comprehensive L.I.P. sewer solution which is practical
and economical.
Variety of uses
Range of density and lot sizes
Clustering and consolidation
Retirement living opportunities
Business opportunities
-2-
4. Emphasis on rural lifestyle and limitations on intensive agricultural possibilities.
Council resolved further that if Option 3 was not acceptable to the ALC they would support Option
2. This option however called for the land to be removed from the ALR and designated as Rural
Residential. Upon reconsideration in subsequent Council-Staff Meetings, Council has indicated
support for Option 4, which reads as follows:
Retain in the ALR. Address the septic system failures by a minimal L.I.P. sewer system.
Adopt a Farm By-law to restrict intensive/intrusive agriculture.
Council agreed to accept this approach for Sub-area C with the inclusion of the
clustering/consolidation principle. Staff are currently working on this framework, and anticipate a
meeting with ALC staff to discuss implementation of the approach.
The ALC supports retention in the ALR and does not feel the principles cited above are appropriate
to that view. Consequently, staff are of the opinion that an exclusion application is inconsistent
with the views of both Council and the ALC. However, a meeting with the ALC is still necessary
to resolve the outstanding Rural Plan issues.
VI CONCLUSION:
As there are issues to resolve with the ALC, it is recommended that consideration of this application
be deferred at this time.

those people to let them know what they have to do.
He added that 75 property owners who have non-owner occ s are being sent
letters this week. Those people are not eligible to register ecause they are
non-owner occupied. They are being given 90 days to dec9thmission the suites to allow
the tenants an opportunity to make other arrangements. /Fhe Residential Tenancy Act
requires 30 days notice. //
A Councillor noted that people might be away duririjthe summer months and not receive
their notice right away. She noted that there are,4otentially 150 families that could be
affected and Council does not want to see peo1e/out on the street.
The Director of Community Services and ,.usiness Relations went over the business
licence statistics, noting that paymVs been received as follows - store front

non-resident cases are difficult to pu they move around, go out of business, etc.
There have been 437 new licences issich is up from last year.
He reviewed the parking enforcea4'ent statistics, noting that the rate of collection is
between 60-65%. He referred t' the by-law enforcement statistics, noting that noise
complaints remain the number/one complaint. He explained how abandoned vehicle
complaints are handled. /
He further noted that the t){strict now has a staff member from the Fire Department
coming on board to handle 'fier-hours complaints.
The Director ended his pz'esentation at this point.
ALR127199 - 11416 - 240 Street - Mr. Keith Koelling, Applicant
1.2 The subject application was considered at the June 14, 1999 Committee of the Whole
Meeting and the June 22, 1999 Council Meeting at which time Council made a decision
to defer the application pending completion of Council's review of the Agricultural Land
Reserve policies.
Mr. Keith Koelling was in attendance and provided Council with and reviewed a written
submission which is summarized as follows:
Mr. Koelling aske dCouncil to referto the maps contained in his report. He indicated the
location of the property in question, noting that it is 1.968 hectares (4.89 acres) in size
and 61% of the site is comprised of significantly sloped land, a deep ravine and four
converging streams and is unsuitable for soil based crop production. The remaining 39%
of the site is 1.91 acres of gently sloped ground and occupied by the house, yard, garage,
driveway and septic field. The actual unencumbered land area is 1.46 acres.
Mr. Koelling advised that he would like to replace the existing house on the property with
more modem living accommodations. He is reluctant to build a new home on ALR
encumbered land as it will not appreciate at the same rate as an investment not affected
by an ALR designation.
Committee of the Whole Minutes
July 19, 1999
Page 3
He further noted that he is surrounded by lands that are being or have been developed as a
residential use and intensive agricultural uses other than soil based crops would create a
conflict with those residential areas.
He referred to Section 21(1) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act, noting that it
implies that agricultural use restrictions do not apply to land which is less than 2 acres in
area and feels that his property should therefore be excluded from the ALR. He further
noted that the shallow topsoil depth and underlying clay material is another detrimental
limitation to using the subject parcel for commercial crop production.
The Acting Mayor asked Mr. Koelling if he is still able to build a home on the land if it
remains in the ALR Mr. Koelling responded that nothing prevents him from doing so
but he is concerned about his future investment value.
The Acting Mayor explained that recent ALR applications have been deferred by Council
as they want to meet with the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) and revisit some of
the policies governing the areas affected by those applications. It has not been easy to
schedule a meeting with the ALC. Council is seeking further direction from the Director
of Long Range Planning today and he will ask the Director of Long Range Planning to
update Mr. Koelling on the direction Council has decided to take respect to the
outstanding applications.
Mr. Koelling stated that his application is being held up because of the political process.
He would ask Council to read it carefully and consider it on its own merits.
Mr. Koelling ended his presentation at this point in the meeting.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C/S, CW
SUBJECT: Secondary Suite Review - Amendment Package
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Since the adoption of the secondary suites bylaw and policies in March of 1999,
staff have been monitoring registration activity and issues related to suites. On
October 12, 1999 Council directed staff to prepare amending bylaws that would
remedy some of the issues that have arisen and fine-tune the secondary suites
policies. Specifically, Council directed staff to prepare a Zone Amending Bylaw
that would: a) delete the minimum lot size requirement of 557 m2; b) delete the
requirement to obtain an annual District of Maple Ridge Trade License; c)
establish that a secondary suite is not a permitted use in a floodplain; and d)
define "cooking facility".
The current Secondary Suites Policy has been amended to be consistent with the
proposed Secondary Suite zoning regulations. In addition, a Council Policy
regarding the placement of the Single Family Residential Use Restrictive
Covenant has also been created which identifies the conditions where the
placement of the restrictive covenant can be waived.
Lastly, to continue to provide a financial incentive to property owners to register
secondary suites, a Building Bylaw amendment has been prepared to extend the
reduced secondary suite registration fee of $125 from September 23, 1999 until
March 31, 2000.
RECOMMENDATION:
That:
Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 5847-1999 be read a first time
and that it proceed to Public Hearing;
Maple Ridge Building Amending Bylaw No. 5848-1999 be read a first and
second time, and the rules of order be waived, and that Maple Ridge
Building Amending Bylaw No. 5848-1999 be read a third time;
Council Policy 6.14 "Secondary Suites" be deleted, and that the
proposed "Secondary Suites" Policy be adopted when final reading is
given to the Amending Bylaw relating to Secondary Suite Use; and
The proposed "Single Family Residential Use Restrictive Covenant"
Policy be adopted when final reading is given to Amending Bylaws
relating to Secondary Suite Use. ,oL
III. BACKGROUND
At the October 12, 1999 Council meeting, Council directed staff to prepare a zone
amending bylaw to the existing secondary suite provisions in Zoning Bylaw
35 10-1985. Such amendments should include:
Deleting the Zoning Bylaw requirement that states that secondary suites "shall
be limited lots with a minimum parcel size of 557m 2";
deleting the Zoning Bylaw requirement that states "shall require a valid
District of Maple Ridge Business License";
establishing a regulation to prohibit a secondary suite use on property within a
floodplain; and
establishing a definition of "cooking facility".
Staff were further authorized to prepare an amendment to the Building Bylaw to
extend the reduced secondary suite registration fee until March 31, 2000.
Lastly, staff had requested that Council provide direction regarding the treatment
of properties that currently have restrictive covenants pertaining to secondary
suites, and future practices pertaining to the placement of the restrictive covenant
on new lots within the District. At the October 12, 1999 Council Meeting staff
were directed that:
"Restrictive Covenants on title to Single Family Residential
properties prohibiting a secondary suite use remain in place and
that restrictive covenants continue to be placed on title to all
Single Family Residential properties except infill developments on
parcels established prior to October, 1994. ";
IV. DISCUSSION
Further to Council's resolution, staff has prepared the attached secondary suites
bylaw and policy amendment package, and the following section of this report
briefly discusses each revision.
i. Zoning Bylaw Amendments:
(a) Minimum parcel size of 557 m2
The current secondary suites bylaw states that a suite is only permitted on lots
with a minimum lot area of 557 m2 (5996 ft2). In reviewing this regulation,
staff is of the opinion that the size of the lot is less of an issue than the ability
to provide on-site parking. The attached zone amending bylaw removes this
provision from the Zoning Bylaw.
2
District of Maple Ridge Business License
The existing Bylaw requires that suite owners obtain an annual business
license. Bill 88, which amends the Municipal Act, clarifies that the
requirement for obtaining a business license for a secondary suite is not
permitted. The attached zone amending bylaw deletes this provision from the
Zoning Bylaw.
Floodplain
At present the existing secondary suites regulations do not prohibit the
registration of a secondary suite that is in the floodplain. While there are
many homes in the District that have restrictive covenants that prohibit
habitable space within the floodplain, there are a number of properties that do
not have such a covenant. The attached Zone Amending Bylaw will prohibit
the establishment of a secondary suite use in the floodplain.
Definition of Cooking Facility
The Zoning Bylaw definition of Dwelling Unit refers to the term
"cooking facility", however a definition of cooking facility is not
included in the Zoning Bylaw. A definition of Cooking Facility
has been included in the attached Zone Amending Bylaw in order
to provide clarification around this issue. The definition reads as
follows:
Cooking facility "is defined as any electronic, electrical,
mechanical or manual equipment by which food of any sort
can be cooked,heated, steamed or baked, including without
limitation, conventional ovens, microwaves, convection
ovens, toaster ovens, cooktops, hottops, camping stoves,
barbecues, crock pots and electric frying pans, rice cookers,
woks, grills and griddles, but does not include an electric
kettle that can only be used for heating water."
ii. Building Bylaw Amendment
At present the Building Bylaw states that the fee to register a secondary suite is
$125.00 six months from the adoption of the amending bylaw (September 23,
1999), and $250.00 thereafter. Given the proposed amendments to the Zoning
Bylaw, Council have supported the extension of the registration fee in order to
provide residents with an incentive to register their suites. The attached
amendment to the Building Bylaw extends the reduced registration fee of $125.00
until March 31, 2000.
3
Secondary Suite Council Policy
Existing Council Policy 6.14 "Secondary Suite" contains the provisions pertaining
to the minimum lots size requirement and requirement to obtain an annual district
of Maple Ridge Trade License. This policy has been amended to delete the
reference to these provisions, and the draft policy is attached to this report.
Single Family Residential Use Restrictive Covenant Council Policy
Since October of 1994, the Approving Officer ubder direction from Council, has
required that a Single Family Residential Use Restrictive Covenant be registered
on the title of all new lots created. The covenant states that the property can only
be used for single family purposes, and as a result secondary suites are not
permitted on these properties. On October 12, 1999 Council directed the
Approving Officer to continue the practice of placing the covenants on new lots,
with the exception of infill subdivisions on lots established prior to October 31,
1994. Pursuant to the Council direction, staff has prepared a "Single Family
Residential Use Restrictive Covenant Policy" that provides clear direction to the
Approving Officer, and states the criteria by which the placement of the covenant
can be waived. Specifically, the policy states that the Covenant will not be placed
on infill subdivided lots if:
- the parent parcel does not have the covenant; and
- the neighbouring properties on either side or across the Street from the
lot/parcel do not have the restrictive covenant; and
- no further subdivision of the parent lot/parcel or newly created lot(s)/parcel(s)
is possible.
While not explicitly directed to do so, staff have drafted the policy statement to
provide for the discharge of existing covenants on infihl lots where:
- the parent parcel was created prior to October 1994
neighbouring properties on either side and across from the subject
property do not have a restrictive covenant registered on the title.
The draft Policy further states that when a discharge is requested on an infill
property, the District will notify neighbouring property owners, who may appear
as a delegation before Council to voice their opinion with the requested discharge.
El
To provide further clarification to the Approving Officer, the Policy defines
"infihl" as an application to create 4 or fewer lots, in a neighbourhood with lots or
parcels that do not have a Single Family Residential Use Restrictive Covenant
registered on the title.
V. CONCLUSION
Pursuant with Council's direction of October 12, 1999 staff have prepared
amendments to the secondary suite provisions in the Zoning Bylaw which delete
the minimum lot size requirement; delete the requirement to obtain an annual
business license for a secondary suite. The Zone amending bylaw also prohibits a
secondary suite use on properties within the floodplain, and establishes a
definition of cooking facility.
Also attached to this report is Building Amending Bylaw to extend the reduced
registration fee for a secondary suite from September 23, 1999 to March 31, 2000.
In addition, Council Policy 6.14 "Secondary Suites" has been amended to be
consistent with the revised Zoning provisions.
Lastly, the Approving Officer has requested direction regarding the conditions
that must be satisfied in order to waive the placement of a Single Family
Residential Use Restrictive Covenant on the Title to new lots created. A new
Council Policy entitled "Single Family Residential Use Restrictive Covenant" has
been created to provide such direction.

Heritage Advisory Committee -
Public Consultation regarding the "Heritage Resources of Maple Ridge"
(the Heritage Inventory)
SUMMARY
At the October 27, 1998 Council meeting, Council authorized the Heritage
Advisory Committee to consult with owners of property listed on the Heritage
Inventory. Pursuant with the Council resolution, on May 18 and 20, 1999 the
Heritage Advisory Committee hosted two Open Houses to share information
regarding how the Inventory was established; implications of being included in
the Inventory; and the establishment of a voluntary Community Heritage Register.
The following report highlights the results of the two Open Houses and makes
recommendations pertaining to the establishment of a voluntary Community
Heritage Register.
RECOMMENDATIONS
"That a Community Heritage Register be established for the properties
identified on the list entitled "District of Maple Ridge, Community Heritage
Register", as attached to the report dated October 28, 1999 and entitled
"Heritage Advisory Committee - Public Consultation regarding the Heritage
Resources of Maple Ridge (the Heritage Inventory)."
BACKGROUND
In October 1998, Council resolved to support the following recommendation
pertaining to the Heritage Management Plan and Inventory:
- - - - -Consuitation -withpropettyowners litdontiiëHêflt1nveiiIy I
including distribution of the Inventory and Plan and a meeting to explain
the status of the Inventory;
Establishment of a Community Heritage Register which should include all
Municipally owned heritage buildings and buildings designated by bylaw,
with other buildings from the Inventory to be added on a voluntary basis;
Preparation of a policy and brochure for development applications and
demolitions for property on the Heritage Inventory;
Transfer of the Wharf building to the Historical Society contract for the
management of Municipal Heritage buildings and allocation of funds to
provide for its maintenance; -
06.O A . 01
Publication and sale of book quality version of the Heritage Inventory;
Preparation of a bylaw to re-establish the Heritage Advisory Committee as
a Community Heritage Commission."
To date, Recommendations 1 and 4 have been completed, and the following
report regarding the establishment of a Community Heritage Register will satisfy
Recommendation 2.
IV. DISCUSSION
1) The Open Houses:
In May of this year, the Heritage Advisory Committee (HAC) hosted two Open
Houses, one at the Albion Community Hall and the other at the Hammond
Community Centre. The Open Houses ran between 4:00 and 9:00 p.m. and were
well attended by the public, members of Council, HAC, and staff.
Prior to the Open House, letters of invitation were mailed to all owners of
property identified in the Inventory (a total of 87 letters). In addition, an
advertisement was placed on two separate occasions in The Times newspaper.
Excluding Committee Members, members of Council, and staff, a total of 46
citizens attended the Open Houses (Albion with 25 and Hammond with 21). This
number is particularly impressive, as it represents an attendance rate of 53
percent.
A questionnaire was available at the Open Houses and 17 completed
questionnaires were received. The verbatim comments are attached to this report,
however, the following section highlights some of the conclusions drawn from the
questionnaire responses:
"Do you think the establishment of a community heritage register in the
District of Maple Ridge is a good idea? Why?
There were 17 responses given to this answer. All of the respondents
answered 'yes' to this question. The reasons provided in support of the
Register all stressed the need to preserve and recognize the District's past.
The need to raise awareness was also noted by some respondents.
Would you be interested in having your heritage property included in the
Register?
There were 17 responses given to this question. Seven (7) citizens responded
"yes" noting they are "proud" to be a heritage property owner.
2
Nine (9) owners noted they were "Uncertain" whether they would want to be
included in a Register. The two most noted reasons provided were that owner
felt their homes were not "good enough" to be included in a Register, and
others needed time to discuss the issue with family members. One respondent
noted concern with the future sale of his/her home.
Only one property owner selected "no" and the reason cited was that he did
not wish to have limits placed on property rights that are different from others.
Why did you purchase a heritage home?
15 people responded to this question. The most frequent reason provided was
a preference for older homes for a variety of reasons, including character,
style and mature landscaping. The second most frequent response was that
people were not aware the house was a heritage property or the house was not
a heritage property when originally purchased.
Is the Inventory description of your property accurate? If no, what is
incorrect?
Twelve (12) people responded to this question. Nine (9) property owners
were able to correct or provide additional information. The balance of
respondents noted that the descriptions were accurate, however two (2)
individuals stated that there property had not been included in the inventory.
S. Are you aware of any heritage properties that are missing from the
Inventory? If so, where are they located?
Twelve properties where identified as missing from the Inventory. The
Heritage Advisory Committee and staff will be looking into whether or not
these properties satisfy the criteria to be included in the Inventory.
6. Why did you come tonight? What sorts of information were you hoping to
receive?
Most of therespondentsto this question noted interest in heritage as being the
primary reason for attending the Open Houses. Others were looking for
additional information on the Inventory and Community Heritage Register.
ii) Community Heritage Register
A Community Heritage Register is an official list of heritage properties in a
community. The Register is intended to include all heritage designated buildings,
plus private properties identified in the Heritage Inventory where the owner has
consented to have the property included.
'3
Some of the benefits of being identified in the Register include eligibility for
special provisions in the BC Buildings Code Heritage Supplement; and the ability
for property owners to negotiate with a municipality incentives such as, the fast
tracking of development applications or tax incentives.
In most cases there are no restrictions placed on altering the interior of registered
buildings, however inclusion in the Register does provide Council with the
authority to temporarily withhold the issuance of a demolition or building permit.
Such a delay is intended to give Council time to review the issue and negotiate
with the owner.
The Municipal Act provides for the establishment of a Community Heritage
Register by Council Resolution and requires that the owner of the Heritage
Property and Minister responsible for the Heritage Conservation Act be notified
within 30 days of establishing the Register.
Private Property:
A consent form volunteering to have private property included in the Register was
available at each of the Open Houses. To date, seven (7) property owners have
submitted a signed consent form to include eight (8) privately owned buildings in
the Register. The properties volunteered by the property owners for inclusion in
the Register are:
Whonnock Post Office 26915 River Road
Whonnock General Store - 26927 River Road
McFarlane Residence - 11395 205 Street
Bank of Montreal - 22355 River Road
Sugar Maple Trees - 26721 100 Avenue
Miller Residence - 28594 104th Avenue
Post Office - 11841 224th Street
Tanaka House - 24077 124th Street
Also included in the Register would be the Leslie Residence at 21695 River Road
that was designated a Municipal Heritage site in 1997, and received a Heritage
Advisory Committee plaque.
Public Property:
The Heritage Management Plan recommends that the District's heritage properties
also be included in the Register. Municipal properties identified in the Inventory,
which are proposed for inclusion in the Community Heritage Register include:
Original Stand of Maple Trees, 20818 Golf Crescent
Saint Andrew's Presbyterian Church, 22279 1 16th Avenue
Manager's House, Port Haney Brick Company, 22520 116 Avenue

V. CONCLUSION
The Heritage Advisory Committee is very pleased with the attendance at both
Open Houses. The meetings were very positive, and the responses to the
Questionnaires demonstrate that attendees were unanimous in their position that it
is important to preserve and recognize our community heritage, and were
supportive of the Heritage Advisory Committees initiatives.
Pursuant with Council Resolution R198-553(2) regarding the Establishment of a
Community Heritage Register, staff have prepared a Register List which includes
all Municipally owned heritage buildings, buildings designated by bylaw, and
privately owned properties volunteered for inclusion in the Register by the
property owner. The Heritage Advisory Committee is recommending that a
Community Heritage Register be established for the 21 properties (12 municipally
owned and 9 private) identified in this report.

VERBATIM COMMENTS TAKEN FROM COMPLETED QUESTIONNAIRES
In total, there were 17 questionnaires completed. The verbatim comments by question
are as follows:
Do you think the establishment of a Community Heritage Register in the
District of Maple Ridge is a good idea? Why?
- Yes. There is a lot of unrecorded heritage sites in Maple Ridge. A voluntary
registry if a good idea to bring people interested in heritage together and make
the municipality more aware of what is out there.
- Yes. We must not forget our past.
- Protection and community pride.
- Yes, to preserve some of the heritage and character of the older homes.
- Yes. Keeps the history of the area alive.
- To keep the memory of old times alive.
- Yes, we all need history to have an identity.
- Yes. The preservation of some older homes or other buildings makes the
history real and may lead to increased pride in our community.
- Yes. The history of a community is important for new and future residents.
- Yes, definitely. I believe in old things - the future generations need to know
what was!
- Yes. We need to save the old houses. Maybe the owners will feel more proud
to be in an old house instead of a brand new house.
- Yes. To save what is left of the heritage of Port Haney.
- Yes. It is very important to preserve and recognize our community heritage. I
am especially happy to see that the trees have been included.
- Only if completely voluntary.
- To preserve past history and to compare construction techniques to the present
day. To appreciate the pioneers of a community.
- Yes, if having a Community Heritage Register helps to raise awareness of the
history of the community and in so doing leads to the preservation of heritage
buildings and sites, it is a worthy society.
- It is a wonderful idea to register heritage homes, etc... The preservation of
community heritage is vital, although saving every derelict building is not
necessary.
Would you be interested in having your heritage property included in the
Register. Please choose one.
a) Yes - Why?
- The house was built in 1910 and made from logs taken from the property. It
was built by hand by Finns @ Webster's Corners and should be recognized.
- Respect of the past.
- I'm very proud of my two buildings and their history.
- I am proud of it.
- It is unique to the conmunity and has a meaningful history.
- Nostalgia. I'm very proud to be the owner of a "heritage" home.
- yes
No - Why?
I do not wish to have limits on my property rights that are different from
others.
Uncertain - Why?
- It is in bad state of repair and could collapse. We have put 1 1/2 new shake
roofs on in 37 years we have owned the property. However to replace the
rotting logs is very difficult.
- I'd like to take the information that I have home to my husband to discuss it
with him.
- I need to talk it over with my husband.
- The house has been sold to other family members and I don't want to
influence their investment potential.
- If we decide to sell our house, it may be hard to sell. And also it may not
meet your criteria.
- With the rapid development presently in the area we may eventually be
surrounded by taller buildings with a "fish bowl" effect.
- I don't think our home is in good enough condition to be considered and we
are not presently in the financial position to fix it up.
- This property was bought as an inheritance for my children (son-in-law has a
business on the same "isolated" street). There is no intention of developing
this property in any way at this time.
- It may not fit the criteria.
3. Why did you choose to purchase a heritage home?
- I personally like the old stuff, machinery, cars, homes etc... I like the area it's
in and appreciate the hard work and craftsmanship that went into building it.
It's not a leaky condo that will be torn down in 20 years.
- N/A. We were delighted our log home was on our land, but it did not affect
our purchase.
- Was not a heritage home. Was what we wanted and had a history.
- I didn't know it was a heritage home until I received the letter in the mail from
the Corporation of Maple Ridge.
- I love old buildings.
- Coming from the old country it made us feel "at home".
- It wasn't one when we bought it.
- I didn't. It became "heritage" in the forty years I lived in it.
- I like the look and feel of living in an old house. I also like the mature
landscape.
- It was a beautifully, solidly built home with a large lot and garden. It is
connected to downtown core and transportation.
- We loved the house and gardens. Being a "heritage" home didn't enter into
our conscious decision to buy.
- We liked the house and did not regard it as a heritage home.
- When I bought the property, this house just "happened" to be on it. I did not
have any idea it was considered to be a heritage house.
- Loved the character of the house and price was right. Large lot.
- We liked the style - lovely property.
Is the Inventory description of your property accurate? If no, what is
incorrect?
- It's not in the Inventory.
• - The date is 1906 (25807 - 100 Ave)
- Picture (26914 112t1 Ave).
- Property size is now 2.56 acres (10412 280th Street)
- The house 28594 was built in the 30s by Charlie Miller. Albert Miller the
father built his house earlier on what is now "Twin Maples" property (28594 104th Ave).
- Julia Newell is said to be the first owner of the house. We were told it was
built by a Mr. Murdoch. (28306 Dewdney Trunk Road).
- Not in inventory (no address given)
- The new St. Andrews church was built in 1956 (not 1962) and the C.E. Hall
Building in 1959.
- Please take a look at the sun porch to the back. Redefine leaded windows - all
of them have it.
- Yes, the description is accurate, except the lovely old horse chestnut trees
have been removed by the jy and have not yet been replaced.
- Asfaraslknow.
- Don't know the history of the house. Unable to determine accuracy of
description.
Are you aware of any heritage properties that are missing from the
Inventory? If so, where are they located?

- Do not know of any.
- Nielson house on 272 (north of school)
- The Lee Farm on 280th in Ruskin.

- I am not aware of any properties missing from the inventory.
- 26721 100 Ave - you may or may not be interested as the original design has
been altered (Drewny Home). I have journal pages of the home being built.
Hopefully there have been measures taken to preserve the view of golden ears
3
by allowing development of the Gillian property along D.T. road to be of a
low level variety, rather than 2 - 3 storey homes, town homes etc.
- Also, have any of the Lilley residences been considered for the inventory,
ie. the Kim and Edith residence on D.T. road, the Gordon Lilley residence
on D.T. Road.
- Page 46. 22106 DT Road, this residence was owned by Jack and Margaret
Clappison. Built in 1939 by brother-in-law Algie Bend - all three homes
had oak floors and leaded windows and inside doors.
- Page 47. 221145 Dewdney Trunk Road. Also built in 1939 by brother-in-
law Algie Bend who built several homes in the Haney and Pitt Meadows
areas. Bill and Ethel Clappison lived there.
- The residence kitty-corner the N.W. corner of DT Road and the former
Bend Road was built in 1945 by Algie Bend who lived there with his wide
Connie (nee Clappison). Moved from P. Mead. farm. This residence is
not in the book.
6. Why did you come tonight? What sorts of information were you hoping to
receive?
- To find out what's new with the HAC and see what direction things are going.

Committee.
- Just to see what it was all about and to learn a bit more about it.

want it preserved for generations to come.
- To learn what is being proposed.
- I was interested in seeing what exactly a heritage house entailed.
- More information on our house, but also the area in general. Wanted
information on heritage resources available. Knowledge of what renovations
could be done without jeopardizing heritage designation.

• District of Maple Ridge
Community Heritage Register
96 Avenue - Whonnock Cemetery
A number of Norwegian settlers, from an area near Trondheim, came to
Whonnock around 1890. They were farmers, loggers and fishermen, and they
established the 'Trondheim Scandinavian Evangelical Lutheran Congregation of
Whonnock, BC' in 1895. Five years later the congregation bought one acre of
land for $25 for use as a cemetery, but in 1904 they selected a new site on
property owned by Ole Lee Jr., adjacent to what was then the border of the
Whonnock Reserve. The first burial at the new site was held in 1905. A Lutheran
Church was also built on the site, which stood from 1906 until 1958.
In 1919, the District purchased an acre of the Reserve land to the east of the
Scandinavian Lutheran Cemetery for use as a cemetery for the Whonnock/Ruskin
areas. Japanese settlers, and in particular their children, are also buried here. The
former Scandinavian cemetery is now part of the municipal cemetery and many
that are not Scandinavian have been buried there.
26721 100 Avenue - Sugar Maple Trees
These two landmark trees were planted by Will and Jean Dewry in 1914 from
saplings transported from Perth, Ontario. They have matured into magnificent
specimen trees that are landmarks in the local area.
28594 104th Avenue - Miller Residence
Albert Miller acquired 130 acres of the quarter section originally owned by Moses
Ball. He later built this craftsman-inspired farmhouse, which has a gable-roofed
porch to the east, and a garage built into the basement. This house was
constructed in 1932.
23448-23498 105 Avenue - Spencer Farm Milk House
In 1919 David Spencer's Limited of Vancouver bought about 400 acres, including
part of the original Robertson's farm. The low lying area on the Albion Flats was
dyked, and the farm was located both as a dairy farm and as a stop-over for beef
cattle from the Prairies. Later Colonel Victor Spencer, one of the sons of David
Spencer, became interested in the Jersey breed of cattle, and turned the farm into a
pure-bred Jersey farm, with a herd of 150 head, including some imported directly
from the island of Jersey. Associated Dairies acquired the farm in the 1930's and
it was later used for a variety of purposes.
The property was no longer being farmed when it was acquired by the
Municipality in 1959; after which it was used as the Fairgrounds for the North
Fraser Valley Exhibition. The Fairgrounds are still owned by the District of
Maple Ridge; the milk house is the last remaining original structure on the site
built for Victor Spencer. The house received a District of Maple Ridge Heritage
Advisory Committee Plaque in July 1995.
22279 116 Avenue - Saint Andrew's Presbyterian Church
This is one of the earliest surviving buildings from the first settlement of Port
Haney. The land for this church was donated to the Presbyterian Church Trustees
by Thomas Haney. The wood frame structure was faced with local brick.
Decorative Gothic pointed arch insets crown the double assembly windows, and
parged stringcourses encircle the structure.
The first service was held on March 20,1889 by Reverend A. Tait. In 1925, the
congregation merged with the Methodist Church on River Road to become St.
Andrew's United.
The church was closed in 1956 when the new St. Andrew's was built on Lougheed
Highway. To preserve the building, the Maple Ridge Historical Society and the
BC Heritage Trust funded a restoration in 1983. The Church is a Designated
Municipal Heritage Site and has received a District of Maple Ridge Heritage
Advisory Committee Plaque.
22520 116Avenue - Manager's House, Port Haney Brick Company
The discovery of clay deposits in the Port Haney area was the original reason that
Thomas Haney chose to locate here. Brickmaking was a local activity from the
time of the earliest settlement, but the largest and most successful operation in the
area was the Port Haney Brick Works, founded in 1907 by Vancouver contractors
E.G. Baynes and W.M. Horie to provide a regular supply of bricks for their
projects. At the time, Vancouver was just entering its period of greatest
expansion, and this yard supplied brick for many prominent buildings. This
building is a Designated Municipal Heritage Site.
22520 116 Avenue - C.P.R. Van Caboose #437115
Caboose #437115 was built during wartime, one of hundreds operated by the
Canadian Pacific Railway at the time. Its frame is steel, and the superstructure is
wood. Originally, it was clad with vertical fir boards, but in 1963 was rebuilt with
plywood sheathing. The original paint colour would have been Tuscan Red; the
Action Yellow scheme dates from the 1970's. The Caboose was donated by the
C.P.R. in June 1991 to the people of Maple Ridge through the efforts of the
Dewdney-Alouette Railway Society. Many local individuals and businesses
contributed to its restoration, and it is now located adjacent to the Maple Ridge
Museum.
22520 116 Avenue - Port Haney Brick Company Office
This charming structure was the office for the Port Haney Brick Company. It was
built by the company's employees, using bricks manufactured at the plant. A
simple gabled structure with a pantiled roof, it features double-hung windows
with three panes in the upper sash, and contrasting high-fire brick around the
structural openings.
The office and the adjacent Manager's House are the only remaining buildings
from the brick works. The house is a Designated Municipal Heritage Site and has
received a District of Maple Ridge Heritage Advisory Committee Plaque.
24077 124th Street - Tanaka House
In 1920, the Tanaka family purchased 10 acres of land to build their home.
Mr. Jiro Inouye was the carpenter with assistance from Mr. Shiro Oke and Mr.
Takuma Oku. The cost of labour was $0.25 an hour, with the carpenter receiving
$1.25 per hour. The cost of building the house was $10,000. The Tanaka family
was later relocated to Diamond City Alberta, and were only allowed to take 200
pounds of luggage per family, so most of their belongings remained in the home.
The house is rich in local history and has been extensively and lovingly restored.
In 1998, the current owners were the recipient of the District of Maple Ridge
Residential Heritage Award.
11395 205 Street - McFarlane Residence
This area of Hammond was known as 'Swede Row', for the Swedish families and
bachelors that lived along this street. This was one of a series of houses built
right after the First World War (on Town Lots 655-665) for mill workers who had
served overseas. The houses were built by the Hammond Cedar Company and
title remained with the company for a number of years. The houses reflect the
Craftsman style, which was the most popular residential style at the time. This
house features a full open front verandah with tapered porch columns and bases.
This was the home of Mr. McFarlane, a sawyer at the mill until he retired.
214 Street - Maple Ridge Cemetery
A municipal cemetery was established by the District of Maple Ridge in the
1880's. The first people to be buried here were relatives of Mrs. William Nelson
of Nelson's Landing; they were Kanaka's, brought from the Hawaiian islands to
work at Fort Langley, and in the 1880's William Nelson donated half an acre of
his land to the District for use as a cemetery. George Howison, the owner of the
3
adjacent property also donated the same amount of land. Despite its beginnings,
the District ironically did not allow the burial of Chinese or Natives here. Burials
were not recorded until 1897.
There are a variety of headstones, including early wooden grave markers, such as
one that marks the resting place of Andre Holdsworth, killed at Westminster
Junction July 12, 1910. Among the prominent early settlers here may be counted
Thomas Haney and his wife Anne. Mary Berry Charlton Storey is buried between
her two husbands, Alfred Temple Charlton on one side, and his cousin William
Storey on the other. Also buried here is Mr. Inouye, the pioneer of the Japanese
settlers in Maple Ridge, who settled here in 1907. In recognition of his leadership
a rounded boulder from the Alouette River was erected to his memory by his
many friends.
214 Street - Royal Oak of England
This mature Oak near the entry to the Maple Ridge Cemetery has a plaque with
the following inscription: 'Royal Oak of England, Planted for Haney Women's
Institute on November 11, 1938 by Mrs. A. Stevenson, the Institute's First
President.'
11612 224 Street - Haney House
Thomas Haney, born in 1841 and raised in Paris, Ontario, came west in 1876 with
his father-in-law Daniel Callaghan and his two brothers-in-laws by way of the
California goldfields. Like many others, they came to British Columbia looking
for better opportunities. Thomas Haney decided to settle in Maple Ridge, and
purchased 160 acres of the Wickwire Estate for $1000. One of the attractions was
the local clay deposits, which Haney intended to use as the basis for establishing a
local brickyard. Soon after he arrived, Thomas Haney became a central figure in
the new settlement. He served as Municipal Councillor and Assessor and was
generous in donating his time and land to the community. He laid out the
townsite of Port Haney in 1882, naming many of the streets after his family
members.
Haney House was built by Samuel Edge and Daniel Callaghan for Thomas and
Annie Haney is 1878, and their descendant lived here until the site was deeded to
the District of Maple Ridge in 1979. Remarkably, it had survived for a century
with virtually no changes. The house was restored with a grant from BC Heritage
Trust, and opened as a museum, complete with its original cottonwood
wainscotting and some of the Haney's original furnishings and possessions. This
acre of land contains the most significant group of plantings in the area.. The two
Big Leaf Maples may actually predate the original settlement. The cedar grove
behind the house is approximately 80 to 100 years old; remnants of the orchard
planted between 1898 and 1902 still exist. These resources are extremely
significant, as they provide an authentic setting for Haney House, and are a very
important part of its historic character. Visitors touring this remarkable house
today can capture an accurate glimpse of British Columbia's pioneer lifestyle.
Haney House is a designated Municipal Heritage Site.
11841 224th Street - Former Post Office
Continuing growth in the area necessitated the provision of more modem services,
including this new post office. This represented an early use of the new modern
styles of architecture, in contrast to the vernacular buildings in the area built at the
time. The former Post Office displays an irregular massing, with a prominent
stairtower. Clad in rug brick facing with stone trim, this is a handsome and
sophisticated addition to the town centre.
22375 Calligan - Haney Post Office
Lougheed Highway was completed in 1931 causing a shift in the location of
Haney's commercial activity. Most businesses felt obligated to relocate, but the
post office was reluctant to, as there was some convenience in remaining close to
the railway station. Public pressure led to the construction of this new building,
but by 1945 there were already demands for a new, larger structure. A brick post
office was opened on 224 Street in August of 1951, rendering this structure
obsolete. Originally located at 11779 Fraser Street, this building was moved to
Calligan Park, the site of the old Municipal Hall. Now owned by the District and
operated by the Maple Ridge Historical Society, it is currently used as a daycare
facility.
20818 Golf Crescent - Original Stand of Maple Trees
John Mclver, a cooper for the Hudson's Bay Company in Fort Langley, decided to
settle on the north side of the Fraser River. In 1859 he selected that land where
Maple Ridge Golf Course is now located. This property was on a ridge facing the
River, along which stretched a stand of Maple trees. Mclver's daughter, J.C.
McFarlane later wrote "This ridge of beautiful maple trees stretched for two miles
along the river, from what is now Hammond to Slide Hill near Haney".
This distinctive feature was chosen as the name of the new District when it was
incorporated in 1874. The first official Council meeting was held on Mclver's
Farm on October 10, 1874, underneath these Maple trees, on a site that is now
marked by a District of Maple Ridge Heritage Advisory Committee plaque.
21695 River Road - Leslie Residence
This craftsman style home was built in 1923 by Mr. Bill White for the owners Mr.
and Mrs. Earl Leslie and their five children. Mr. Leslie passed away in 1930.
When Mrs. Leslie passed away in 1932, the property was acquired by Mr. Tom
Little who lived in the home until his death in the mid-1940's. The home still has
5
many of its original interior and exterior features including lapped wooden siding,
doors, glass, plaster walls, wood flooring, moulding, and plate rails, and has been
carefully restored by the current owners. The Council of the District of Maple
Ridge designated the home as a protected heritage property on May 27, 1997.
22300 Block River Road - Wharf Office
This small commercial building was constructed around 1926 on what is now 224
Street as a real estate and insurance office. It also served as a bus shelter until the
land on which it was located was purchased for a new post office. It was then
moved to the banks of the Fraser River where it served until the early 1980s as an
office for the Beckstrom Towing Company which moved barges and log booms
along the river. The building was donated to the Maple Ridge Historical Society
by Northview Enterprises and was restored by the Heritage Advisory Committee.
This building was a recipient of the District of Maple Heritage Advisory
Committee Plaque in 1992.
22355 River Road - Bank of Montreal
The landmark structure was built by M.B. Chariton, and was located across from
the Haney Train Station. It housed Port Haney's first bank from 1911 until
November, 1932, when it was damaged by fire. By then, the Lougheed Highway
had been opened, and the Bank, along with many other businesses, relocated up
the hill.
This is a rare surviving commercial vernacular building from the pre-World War I
era. Simple in massing and detail, a storefront with an inset entry is slightly offset
from centre. Double-hung windows on the second floor are used for the upstairs
residence. A simple raised parapet with a decorative railing is used to dress up
the front façade. The Bank has been successfully rehabilitated as a
neighbourhood pub, and remains in active use today. The Bank of Montreal
building received a District of Maple Ridge Heritage Advisory Committee Plaque
in 1992.
26915 River Road - Whonnock Post Office
Postal service was established in Whonnock in 1885. This small postal station
was built by R.S. Whiting; it was rebuilt in 1928, and again, for the final time, in
1932. It stands in the very centre of the Whonnock commercial area, and is
symbolic of the community that it has served for many years.
26927 River Road - Whonnock General Store
This commercial building was built by Nils C. Nelson, a local carpenter. The
storefront retains its central entry, and the building is set very close to the Street.
It served as a grocery store for many years, and now houses a feed store. It
remains part of the historic core of Whonnock.

SUBJECT: RRAP Program
I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program (RRAP) has been reinstated and it is
recommended that District staff act as agents to deliver the program in Maple Ridge.
II RECOMMENDATION:
That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to sign and seal the Residential Rehabilitation
Assistance Program (RRAP) Agency Agreement.
III BACKGROUND:
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has advised that the Residential
Rehabilitation Assistance Program (RRAP) program has been reinstated. This program provides
loans for the repair and improvement of:
• family housing units
• rental accommodation
• rooming houses, hostel or dormitories
The program also provides loans for the repair, improvement or modification of existing family
housing units or rooming house, hostel or dormitory accommodation to improve accessibility for
disabled persons.
CMHC has asked the District to act as an agent to deliver this program to the residents of Maple
Ridge.
-
IV DISCUSSION
The agent for this program is responsible for the processing of loan applications and carrying out
inspections of the work authorized under the loan. Loan applications are approved by CMIHC. A
fee to recover cost incurred in processing the loans and inspecting the work is paid to the agent by
CMHC.
According to the Director of Inspection Services, the District has in the past provided this service
and the agency fee has offset costs incurred in administering the program. The program has been
well received in the past, provides assistance to individuals in the community and encourages
improvements to the existing housing stock in Maple Ridge. Staff feel that the program can be best
delivered to residents by Municipal staff and recommends that Council support and encourage our
participation in the program.
IV CONCLUSION:
Considering the above, it is recommended that Council authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign and
seal the Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program (RRAP) Agency Agreement.

A developer will be constructing road works on 216 Street along with other servicing
improvements required in support of rezoning the property at 21610 Dewdney Trunk Road to
allow construction of a gasoline station and convenience store (RZ 3/98). Construction of the
road works is included in Maple Ridge Development Cost Charge Bylaw No. 5615 - 1997 and is
therefore subject to Development Cost Charge forgiveness consideration at the Building Permit
stage. It is appropriate to forgive a portion of the Development Cost Charges payable to reflect
the DCC works being constructed by the developer. The total amount eligible for forgiveness
equals $9,820.00.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
STA TUS OF THE DISTRICT'S Y2K ACTION PLAN AND READINESS
The following actions are being taken as part of the District of Maple Ridge Year 2000 Action
Plan. The status of each action is explained and the Y2K Committee recommendations for CMT
and Council consideration where applicable, are noted.
Establish a Y2K committee to oversee and manage the Y2K Action Plan Process.
Status: Y2K Committee established and working since January of 1998 to examine all
information technology, business and operational systems and to coordinate the
District's preparedness.
Recommendation: Y2K Committee recommends that any unexpended Y2K
project funds from the 1999 capital works program be carried-over for
possible use in 2000 to address potential problems arising at year-end
turnover and,
That the work of the committee continues into the year 2000 to address the
oversight, monitoring and documentation of Y2K problems arising during
and/or following year-end turnover as a crucial element of provision of due
diligence and effective risk management.
2. Prepare an inventory of computer hardware, software, and office equipment that use
dates including building service equipment, telephone systems such as payroll, property,
budgeting as well as public works service equipment and infrastructure.
Status: Staff identified 209 items in the Budget Inventory. Subsequently, the items were
placed in one of three risk categories namely Life Safety (potentially critical to
life and safety), Risk/Claims (could result in a claim), and Inconvenience (non-
critical and operationally insignificant).
Of 64 Life Safety items, 6 were determined to be non-compliant or questionable.
Of these, 4 are yet to be confirmed as Y2K compliant.
Of 77 Risk Claims systems, 15 were determined to be non-compliant or
questionable. Of these, 6 are yet to be confirmed as Y2K compliant.
Of 68 Inconvenience systems, 14 were determined to be non-compliant or
questionable. Of these, 12 are yet to be confirmed as Y2K compliant.
Test critical business systems to the District to determine if they will work in Year 2000.
Status: 194 of the 229 critical business systems (85%) have been tested successfully. Of
these departmental sign-off of 135 (60%) has been achieved to date.
The testing of the remaining systems primarily, financial systems are a work in
progress tentatively scheduled for completion by the end of November.
91
3. Identify and contact key suppliers and service providers (external links) including
commodity vendors, financial institutions, utilities and telecommunications interests
requesting verification of their Y2K compliance efforts and to determine whether or not
their products are Y2K compliant or not.
Status: Staff contacted some 40 Vendor/Suppliers (External Links) to determine Y2K
compliance of their products and/or business systems.
Prepare contingency plans to address and mitigate critical corporate business system
and equipment problems and reduce risk through development of a due diligence
approach to Y2K issues.
Status: Contingency Plans critical to District operations are prepared for water supply,
sewage collection and disposal, provision of electricity (BC Hydro), and gas
supply (BC Hydro Gas).
Contingency Plan coordination will be the responsibility of the departments
having responsibility or the Emergency Operations staff working from the
Emergency Operations Centre depending on the nature and severity of problems.
Recommendation: Y2K Committee recommends that staff arrange to test a few
of the Contingency Plans for operational readiness and,
That details relating to the Y2K Inventory, External Links, and Contingency
Plans be packaged in hardcopy format and distributed to key select
operational locations throughout the District in preparation for year-end
turnover.
Develop a Y2K information and communication strategy to apprise the general public of
the issues and how the municipality intends to address Y2K related issues.
Status: The Committee has prepared an Information and Communication Strategy that
includes updating of the District's Web Site with information from this report,
distributionof the Year 2000 Guide in pamphlet form (complete), establishment
on Outlook of Y2K folder and other information initiatives yet to be fmalized.
The Chief Administrative Officer is designated as the Y2K media spokesperson
for the District.
Recommendation: Y2K Committee recommends that the Direàtor of Corporate
Support be endorsed as the District's Y2K media contact/liaison to the Year
2000 Roundtable regional group (E-COMM) and in addition, that he assist
the CAO in the preparation and dissemination of information regarding the
Y2K Action Plan.

BACKGROUND
Beginning in the 1960's, standard computer practice expressed dates as a six-digit field as a
means to reduce storage needs. Using this technique the Year 2000 would be included in the six-
digit field as 00. If computer programs treat 2000 as the year 1900 computer systems may shut
down, fail to function, or miscalculate information or make wrong decisions because of this
programming oversight. Computers use dates to perform a wide variety of calculations, and to
make various decisions. Inaccurate calculations result if the systems have a Year 2000 problem.
Computers are not the only equipment affected by the Y2K bug. All manner and types of
electronic equipment with embedded systems (computers) from telephone systems, security
systems, communications equipment, building infrastructure like elevators, and servicing
infrastructure from water distribution and sewage collection systems and traffic control devices
(signals) could be impacted. Equipment and systems having embedded computing chips or
processors are potentially vulnerable.
The Year 2000 (Y2K) problem is more than a computer problem; it is also a business challenge
and must be addressed as a management priority. On behalf of their residents, local governments
needed to commit resources to meeting the challenges and demonstrating due diligence in
addressing the challenge. This report is intended to explain in general terms what the Year 2000
issues are and to identify what actions the District of Maple Ridge has undertaken to address the
challenges.
TERMINOLOGY
Information technology (IT) systems include computer hardware and software, from mainframe
computers that support large government agencies to the personal computer (PC) on your desk.
Common examples of IT systems include your organization's payroll system, accounting and
receivable systems, wide area networks, word processors and spreadsheets.
Embedded systems are microprocessors (computer chips) found in a vast array of devices, such as
service equipment supporting water delivery and sewage collection infrastructure, distribution
devices used by utility companies, communications systems, building security and fire systems,
elevators, traffic control and street lighting devices, and even basic office equipment.
Y2K AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Most local officials and the public at large are aware of the Year 2000 problem and the
frustrations and uncertainty that accompanies it. At times, Y2K seems overwhelming and it may
tempt some to dismiss it as "just a computer problem" that others (senior governments, vendors,
suppliers etc3will fix.
The District of Maple Ridge takes a far different approach to the issue and since early 1998 the
Y2K Committee has been actively involved in addressing issues within the District's control and
resource capabilities. The committee coordinates the preparation of contingency planning to
address Y2K problems that might arise and that are considered to be beyond our control. In
addition, an Information and Communication strategy to inform interest parties of the District's
state of Y2K readiness is being prepared.

STATUS OF THE DISTRICT'S Y2K ACTION PLAN AND READINESS
The issues that the committee was tasked with addressing are identified below. The actions of the
committee in addressing the issues are also explained in brief.
Y2K Committee
Establish a Y2K committee to oversee and manage the Y2K Action Plan Process.
Status: Y2K Committee established and working since January of 1998 to examine all
information technology, business and operational systems and to coordinate the
District's preparedness.
Recommendation: Y2K Committee recommends that any unexpended Y2K project
funds from the 1999 capital works program be carried-over for possible use in
2000 to address potential problems arising at year-end turnover and,
That the work of the committee continues into the year 2000 to address the
oversight, monitoring and documentation of Y2K problems arising during and/or
following year-end turnover as a crucial element of provision of due diligence
and effective risk management.
The committee members are:
Mike Davies - Director of Parks and Facilities
Marilyn Jollimore - Recreational Manager - Central
John Leeburn - Director of Corporate Support
Tom Mcintosh - Manager of Information Services
Duane Birnie - Network Support Specialist
Jake Sorba - Director of Finance
Rondi Melanson - Fire Department and RCMP Representative
Han You - Director of Engineering Operations
Jeff Scherban - Director of Development Engineering/Chairman
Cindy Dale - Committee Recorder
Richard Wells - Past Chairman
The committee has broad representation from all departments and has been meeting regularly to
address Y2K issues. The committee's work has been interesting and very challenging and results
in the preparation of a corporate strategy to mitigate problems arising from Y2K issues. The
following actions are part of the committee' s mandate of due diligence.
Business Systems and Equipment Inventory
Conduct an inventory of computer hardware, software, and office equipment that use
dates including building service equipment, telephone systems, payroll and accounting
systems, and public works service equipment and infrastructure.
Committee members were tasked with participating in the identification of equipment and
business systems of importance in the operation of their departments (lists attached). From the
lists prepared an evaluation of critical systems/equipment was undertaken along with the
preparation of test script for testing all critical systems. The committee asked for departmental
sign-off of tested systems by staff. System testing was a time consuming exercise taking
considerable staff effort. The items identified in the Year 2000 Inventory were investigated for
possible impact on operations and then categorized into one of three categories of importance
based upon risk.
The categories are:
Life-Safety [LS] referring to business related equipment that if not addressed for Y2K
compliance may result in injury or loss of life.
Risk [R] referring to business related equipment that if not addressed for Y2K compliance may
result in claims for damage against the District.
Inconvenience [I] referring to business related equipment that if not addressed for Y2K
compliance are considered to be a nuisance or inconvenience but non-critical in terms of
corporate operations and service delivery.
From the categorization exercise, staff then targeted the Life-Safety items as those for which
contingency considerations would apply.
Status: Staff identified 209 items in the Year 2000 Budget Inventory. Subsequently, the
items were placed in one of three risk categories namely Life Safety (potential
most critical to life and safety), Risk/Claims (could result in a claim), and
Inconvenience (non-critical and operationally insignificant).
Of 64 Life Safety items, 6 were determined to be non-compliant or questionable.
Of these, 4 are yet to be confirmed as Y2K compliant.
Of 77 Risk Claims systems, 15 were determined to be non-compliant or
questionabLe. Of these, 6 are yet to be confirmed as Y2K compliant.
Of 68 Inconvenience systems, 14 were determined to be non-compliant or
questionable. Of these, 12 are yet to be confirmed as Y2K compliant.
In addition, some 400 business systems used on a regular basis by staff in the daily operation of
the departments were identified and assessed for potential impact. Of these 229 were deemed to
be critical.
Status: 194 of the 229 critical business systems (85%) have been tested successfully. Of
these departmental sign-off of 135 (60%) has been achieved to date. The testing
of the -remaining systems primarily, financial systems are a work in progress
tentatively scheduled for completion by the end of November.
3. Supplier and Service Providers
Identify and notify key suppliers and service providers including commodity vendors,
financial institutions, utilities and telecommunications interests requesting verification of
their Y2K compliance efforts and to determine whether or not their products are Y2K
compliant or, not.
Vendors and suppliers of products and/or services to the District were identified and contacted by
staff for clarification of Y2K compliance of their products and identification and/or advice
':4
regarding actions to achieve compliance. The results of the exercise appear in either the Year
2000 Inventory list mentioned above or the External Links list in the appendix.
Status: Staff contacted some 40 Vendor/Suppliers (External Links) to determine Y2K
compliance of their products and/or business systems.
4. Contingency Planning
Prepare contingency plans to address and mitigate critical corporate business system
and equipment problems and reduce risk through development of a due diligence
approach to Y2K issues.
The District of Maple Ridge examined the most critical operational systems to determine Y2K
compliance and to formulate appropriate contingency plans to deal with severe disruptions. The
critical business systems and/or equipment contingency plans relate primarily to water supply,
sewage collection and disposal, provision of electrical power and the supply and delivery of gas.
Additional systems identified and the related contingency plans are identified on our Y2K
Contingency Plans and External Links spreadsheets in the appendix.
The critical systems were determined to be:
Water Supply
Greater Vancouver Regional District supplied water systems (GVWD) has been confirmed to be
Y2K compliant. However, assuming a "worst case scenario" of disabled pumping stations, gravity
feed of water is possible to the Maple Ridge area. Staff does not anticipate any disruption of
water services. Final contingency is to effect Emergency Operations as coordinated by the
departments having responsibility or by the Emergency Operations Center.
Sewage Collection and Disposal
Through a combination of existing generators, portable generators, reserved generators and
manual bypass of computer control systems, local sewage pumping stations will be operational in
the event of a worse case scenario (interruption of power supply). Staff does not anticipate any
disruption of sewage services. Final contingency is to effect Emergency Operations as
coordinated by the departments having responsibility or by the Emergency Operations Center.
Electricity (BC Hydro)
BC Hydro systems have been confirmed to be Y2K compliant. However, assuming a "worst case
scenario" of no power supply, backup generators are in place at the Operations Center,
Emergency Operations Center, Ridge Meadows RCMP. City Hall has a generator off-site, but it
can be put in place quickly. Power is critical to many of the day to day operations in the District
of Maple Ridge. For the safety of public and staff extended power outages may lead to shutting
down of non-essential services. Staff does not anticipate any disruption of hydroelectric services.
Final contingency is to effect Emergency Operations as coordinated by the agencies/departments
having responsibility or by the Emergency Operations Center.
Gas (BC Hydro Gas)
BC Gas systems have been confirmed to be Y2K compliant. However, assuming a "worst case
scenario" of disrupted gas supply or distribution, heating of resident's homes will be the greatest
concern. Staff does not anticipate any disruption of natural gas services. Final contingency is to
effect Emergency Operations as coordinated by the agencies/departments having responsibility or
by the Emergency Operations Center.
Emergency Operations Centre
The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is composed of a variety of municipal, provincial and
agency representatives who meet on a monthly basis to develop emergency response plans for
Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. At this time their focus is on Y2K readiness. All of the agencies
involved, (Fire Department, RCMP, Ambulance Services, Health, Search and Rescue, and Public
Works, have completed extensive testing of their equipment and systems. Examples include
municipal water pump systems, streetlights, emergency radios, alarm systems, and similar
computer driver functions. The equipment and systems that were not Y2K compatible have been
upgraded or are in the process of being replaced. Communications with BC Tel, BC Hydro and
BC Gas have assured staff that their systems are Y2K compliant. However contingency plans are
in place and additional staff will be on duty at the Fire Halls, RCMP and Operations Centre to
mobilize and respond in the event of an emergency on New Years Eve should the need arise. At
this time and according to the District's staff contact (Director of Parks and Facilities), the EOC
does not anticipate any Y2K related problems.
The committee is confident that sufficient safeguards are in place to ensure the delivery of
essentiallcritical services for some reasonable period of time following year-end. Working from
supplier/vendor statements regarding compliance and the exercise of preparing contingency plans
for critical systems not repairable or upgradeable for whatever reason, the committee is satisfied
that the District of Maple Ridge is ready for Y2K. The District should expect some problems
arising that are either unforeseen or beyond our control.
In the event that life-threatening problems arise, emergency operations coordinated through the
Emergency Operations Center will be the lead agency tasked with coordination to address the
problem(s).
Status: Contingency Plans critical to District operations are prepared for water supply,
sewage collection and disposal, provision of electricity (BC Hydro), and gas
supply (BC Hydro Gas).
Contingency Plan coordination will be the responsibility of the departments
having responsibility or the Emergency Operations staff working from the
Emergency Operations Centre depending on the nature and severity of problems.
Recommendation: Y2K Committee recommends that staff arrange to test a sample
of the Contingency Plans for operational readiness and,
That details relating to the Y2K Inventory, External Links, and Contingency
Plans be packaged in hardcopy format and dIstributed to key select operational
locations throughout the District in preparation for year-end turnover.
5. Information and Communication Strategy
Develop a Y2K information and communication strategy to apprise the general public of
the issues and how the municipality intends to address Y2K related issues.
The thrust of the exercise is to provide interested parties with information relating to the state of
the District's Y2K readiness and general information regarding the topic. The strategy is intended
to support the due diligence aspect of the Action Plan while taking into consideration issues of a
legal and risk management nature. The information package and communication strategy
includes a Y2K pamphlet called the "Year 2000 Guide" that was prepared through the efforts of
the Y2K Regional Roundtable that the District participates in. Pamphlets are available to the
public from various departments throughout the Municipal Hall, as well as, the Library and
Chamber of Commerce. The guide provides general information regarding Y2K implications
relating to public services and utilities in the Greater Vancouver Area.
Communication and Media Relations
Responsibility for developing, implementing and monitoring the Information and Communication
Strategy for the Year 2000 Action Plan rests with the Y2K Steering Committee. The Chief
Administrative Officer is designated as the media spokesperson albeit; all the members of the
committee have an important role to play in communicating with interested parties regarding the
project. The target audiences for Y2K information include:
General Public and Business Community
For these groups the strategy will include the provision of both general information and
reassurance about the District's efforts (Action Plan) and degree of readiness.
District Business Partners
These companies or organizations have a strong business relationship with the District,
often including the electronic interchange of data. They expect reassurance and provision
of a two-way flow of specific information regarding mutual interactions.
Vendors and Suppliers
Service and product providers need some reassurance about the District's efforts and
degree of readiness. In turn, the District needs information on the companies' general
readiness for the Year 2000, and the compliance of their specific products and services.
The companies must also be informed of any District requirements for future purchases.
External Agencies
Outside government and utility service agencies as well as, other cities and jurisdictions.
They must be provided with general information and some advisory assistance.
District Officials and Staff
Elected officials, the Corporate Management Team and staff need to know about the Year
2000 Action Plan. They must be kept informed of the status of the project to ensure their
on-going support is maintained. District employees should be informed about the status
of actions, and provided with general information. Their involvement and interest in the
project will help assure its success.
In formation Delivery
The primary vehicle for external communications will be the Corporate Website, which will
contain documents such as this and other relevant reports to Council and corporate press releases.
Other vehicles used particularly for external communications will include:
• the ongoing process of responding to inquiries from the publiá and businesses,
• general availability of the "Year 2000 Guide." A citizen's Year 2000 readiness
pamphlet prepared, in part, by a GVRD wide committee on which the District has
actively participated
• possible information inserts with utility bills, scheduled for the Fall on 1999
• speaking engagements by District officials, and
10
• letters and personal contacts (especially when working with the District's business
partners).
While the most effective vehicle for internal communications may be personal contacts, the
Steering Committee's Y2K folder on the common server accessible on Outlook, is established as
a repository for as much shared information as possible. The Year 2000 Committee will report on
a formal basis to Council and the CMT in the near future. Other potential vehicles could include
• briefing sessions and workshops for managers and contacts,
• special meetings of the various internal groups, and
• articles in the employee newsletter.
In addition, Y2K information is also posted on the District's Web Site (www.mapleridge.org ).
The objective of the information and communication strategy is to inform and assure interested
parties of the District's readiness to provide critical municipal services to the residents of Maple
Ridge entering into the new millennium.
Status: The Committee has prepared an Information and Communication Strategy that
includes updating of the District's Web Site with information from this report,
distribution of the Year 2000 Guide in pamphlet form (complete), establishment
on Outlook of Y2K folder and other information initiatives yet to be finalized.
Recommendation: The Y2K Committee recommends that the Director of Corporate
Support be approved as the District's Y2K media contactlliaison to the Year
2000 Roundtable Regional Group and in addition, assist the CAO in the
preparation and dissemination of information regarding the Action Plan.
OTHER ISSUES AND CONSIDERATIONS
Capital Works Program/Budgeting
The Capital Works Program includes five projects in 1999 to address Y2K related issues. The
projects identified and there corresponding budget allocations are:
CAPITAL LTC 4106 Production Compliance Testing $44,000
LTC 4107 Telephone System Upgrade $150,000
LTC 4108 Compliance - Committee $100,000
LTC 4109 Ross Financial Verification $17,500
- - LTC 4116 Ross PR Conversion and Testing $61,000
OPERATING I.S. Dept. Year 2000 $100,000
Certain budget adjustments have been made as the action items are being addressed. Sufficient
funds have been made available to address the committee's action items. Funds have not been
approved to address issues or problems that might arise next year following year-end turnover.
Recommendation: The Y2K Committee recommends that any unexpended Y2K
related project funds from the 1999 capital works program be carried-over for
possible use in 2000 to address potential problems arising from Y2K.
11
Staffing for Year End Turn-Over and Contingency Plan Mobilization
Due to a current policy directing that staff takes vacation between Christmas and New Years, a
staff shortage is imminent leading up to and during year-end turnover. In order to address
operational issues and contingency plans, staff action is required.
Status: Directors having responsibility for contingency plans, will arrange for staffing to
ensure that oversight and actions will be adequately addressed.
Committee Mandate and Schedule
The work of the committee continues with on-going monthly meetings. Items yet to be finalized
include a portion of the critical financial systems testing, CMT and Council support of an
information and communication strategy, CMT comments and observations relating to the action
items and progress to date, and Y2K public information updating on the status of District of.
Maple Ridge Y2K Readiness. The committee is confident that the remaining/outstanding action
items will either be completed or well in hand prior to year-end.
Recommendations: That the work of the committee continues into the year 2000.
Oversight, monitoring and documentation of Y2K problems arising during and/or
following year-end turnover are a crucial element of provision of due diligence
and effective risk management.

APPENDIX
13
YEAR 2000 GUIDEBOOK FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
The following information appears in the Year 2000 Guidebook for Local Governments
distributed in March of 1999 by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
Publish by the State of Texas, the Guidebook is generic and applicable to the Canadian
experience. It is by no means comprehensive, however, and should be used only as another
resource to assist in the development of a Y2K compliance strategy. Since municipal
governments are primary public agents supporting Canada's quality of life, the importance of
millennium readiness to the health, safety, security and economic well being of citizens cannot be
understated.
The Guidebook is intended to assist local governments in assessing their vulnerabilities and
exposure with respect to mission-critical operations and to guide in the preparation of an action
plan to address Y2K issues. The Guidebook was found to be a very useful tool in its explanation
of the topic and suggestions for actions.
Y2K AND YOUR ORGANIZATION
Local governments and institutions, just like all citizens, depend on essential services provided by
governments and private companies like electricity, natural gas, water supply and sewage
collection, telecommunications and emergency services. Most local officials are aware of the
Year 2000 problem, and the frustrations and uncertainty that accompany it. It is important to
develop a plan of action. Many organizations have succeeded in establishing Year 2000 projects
to address the challenges.
A starting point is to give consideration to the issues of RISK MANAGEMENT AND
LITIGATION. Four basic criteria can be used to evaluate risk factors associated with the Year
2000 problem and prioritize activities to address the problem namely;
What critical services does your organization provide that depend on basic utilities like
power, water and telecommunications?
What critical services does your organization provide that could be affected by the failure
of computer systems or equipment containing embedded processors?
What would be the consequences to citizens if these services were disrupted or were
unavailable for an extended period of time?
What are the financial implications of such failure, especially in the event of litigation?
These criteria can be used to evaluate risk factors associated with the Year 2000 problem and
prioritize activities to correct the problem. Local governments that have obtained Director and
Officer (D&O) liability coverage may not be protected from Y2K-related damages. Government
employees and elected officials may end up being both plaintiffs and defendants if a Year 2000
failure results in litigation. It is prudent to determine the nature of the coverage your organization
possesses to protect officials in the event this happens. Officials and directors of an organization
can protect themselves from possible liability by addressing Y2K issues through "due diligence"
activities in the discharge of responsibilities with a requisite degree of care, diligence and skill.
In short, fix your Y2K problems to the best of your abilities, anticipate failures and develop
contingency plans for coping with them.
14
ASSESSING YOUR Y2K READINESS
The first important action is to conduct a Y2K organizational assessment. The assessment is used
to reveal your current level of preparedness and identify certain areas of concern, while laying the
groundwork for a response to the problem. The assessment should be conducted to answer the
following key questions:
Do you provide services that rely on electronic equipment?
Does your organization own or contract for water and power facilities?
Do you own or lease any buildings?
Do any of your owned buildings have security devices or equipment?
Do you own or lease anything that affects transportation or parking?
Do you own or lease computers?
Do you depend on any outside suppliers, utilities or other levels of government?
By weighing the importance of these possible impacts, a determination can be made as to the
potential of each to affect public safety, physical and emotional health, or revenue.
EMBEDDED SYSTEMS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS
To remedy the Y2K problems of embedded systems, you must first identify them; assess the
effects of Year 2000 may have on them; fix or replace the equipment involved; and test for Y2K
compliance. If you contract for services that could be affected by a failure of embedded systems,
it is the contractor's responsibility to ensure that the problems are identified and corrected.
Contractors should be held accountable for Y2K readiness but they must be notified and made
aware of your organization's expectations in this regard. More specifically, they should be
requested to provide an indication of their readiness and asked to provide written confirmation as
to whether or not their products/services are Y2K compliant.
Identifying embedded systems can be a difficult task; since many of them are "hidden" inside
mechanical devices and not easily 'recognized. Nonetheless, a site survey is the easiest way to
gather and record essential information about your organization" embedded systems. This task is
an essential part of the inventory activity and at a minimum; the inventory should gather
information about the quantity and location of embedded systems, their manufacturers or vendors,
the serial numbers and the persons within your organization knowledgeable about the systems.
The inventory is merely a data collection tool. Answering the following guidelines should assist
in identifyin.g embedded systems.
Does the device operate with electricity? if yes, look further. if no, the device poses no
risk.
Does it have a battery or power supply? if yes, look further. if no, the device poses no
risk.
Does the device use a calendar or timer to schedule events? if yes, you may have a Year
2000 problem. if no, it's low risk.
An Information Technology system can include many different components, such as software,
hardware, and interfaces. Organizations may be faced with a variety of software including
custom developed applications, vendor-supplied applications, personal computer operating
systems, network operating systems, and work products created through the use of personal
computer applications. On the hardware front there is an array of equipment from mainframes,
minicomputers, desktop computers, network file servers and other related network equipment. -
15
Interfaces can include internal and external shared databases and files and the equipment where
this data is stored (data warehouse). An inventory of your information technology and embedded
systems is a crucial step to undertake.
Having completed an inventory of embedded systems, you should attempt to determine the
potential impact of the Y2K-related disruptions of these devices on your organization. Some
steps in the assessment process could include the sending of an internal "awareness" letter to
employees of the organization, contacting embedded systems vendors to determine their readiness
and compliance of their products, reviewing any lease agreements and prioritizing your project
activities. The prioritizing exercise should focus your remediation efforts on Y2K-affected
systems that have the best chance of survival and create contingency plans for the rest.
Remediation strategies for embedded systems are limited due to their specialized nature, and will
likely necessitate upgrading or replacement of the equipment. Ensure that the remediation action
includes Year 2000 compliance criteria in any new embedded systems contracts and purchases to
make it absolutely clear who bears the risk in the event of failure. Six steps to Y2K remediation
that can be considered are:
Containment - includes to prevent future Y2K problems with current purchases and
leases
Inventory - undertake a complete inventory of IT systems
Assessment - conduct an assessment of Y2K impact on your organization
Prioritization - determine what the most critical systems are to protect your high priority
systems as completely as possible and develop contingency plans for the rest
Remediation and Replacement - decide whether to remediate or replace
Testing - thoroughly test your IT systems for current dates, future dates, boundary dates
and leap year dates
CONTINGENCY PLANNING
Risk management focuses on maintaining your critical government operations and minimizing
your exposure for consequences. The way to manage risks is to first identify them, evaluate their
potential consequences, and, if possible, find a way to avoid them. With the Y2K deadline
looming on the near horizon, an appropriate approach to managing risk is contingency planning.
Contingency planning will prepare your organization for potential service interruptions and guide
you toward a permanent solution at the earliest possible time. Contingency plans set your course
if and when critical systems fail and provide backup plans to address unforeseen problems
resulting for Y2K. Your organization should have a contingency plan in place for each of its
most important functions, systems, and equipment to ensure your basic business processes can
continue without disruption. Contingency planning at its most basic level, guides your
organization through four distinct steps:
Identification - to identify and prioritize business processes that are candidates for
contingency plans'
Plan Creation - weigh the options and develop the plans needed to ensure continued
operation in the event of failure
Implementation/Operation - implement actions to prevent service disruptions
Reinstatement - actions to lead from contingency operation to a stable, permanent
solution
16
Contingency plans should identify dependencies and impacts; the number of days needed to
implement contingency solutions, and the estimated cost, staffing, and equipment needed to
support the contingency plan. Contingency plans should be tested to work out the
implementation and reporting bugs that inevitably result from implementations of an unusual
kind. Despite your organizations best efforts, there may not be enough time or resources to
guarantee full Y2K compliance in time. Even if the preparation is thorough, your organization is
likely to experience disruptions due to circumstances entirely beyond your control.

Dear Mr. Durksen
It is an honor for our community to have the monument in place right beside the Arctic
Ocean.
It is also a great honor to have met the creator of the monument. For a person such as
myself with very little patience, some how I sense that some of his patience has been
instilled in me, for that I thank a man of great patience.
With that I would like to propose to you that our fair Hamlet of Tuktoyaktuk and Maple
Ridge become sister Communities (since we are not a city but a Hamlet).
Attached please find Hamlet pins for your Council and a Tuktoyaktuk cup for yourself.

Location
Tuktoyaktuk is located on Kugmallit Bay at 69'27'N latitude and
133'02'W longitude near the Mackenzie River Delta. The
northernmost community on the Canadian mainland,
Tuktoyaktuk is 137 km north of Inuvik.
Population
943 (1996 Census)
Languages
Inuvialuktun, English
Access
The community is accessible by air from Inuvik year round and
bulk supplies and food are barged in during the summer
months. Ice roads link Tuktoyaktuk to Inuvik and Aklavik in the
winter.
History
Many Inuit whalers lived in the area near Tuktoyaktuk during
the 19th century however between 1890 and 1910 American
whalers brought recurring epidemics of influenza into the area
and decimated the population. Alaskan Dene came in their place
and stayed, and in 1928 Herschel Island residents moved to the
community, coinciding with the construction of the Hudson Bay
Company Post. Additional development occurred In the next
30-40 year to the point where Tuktoyaktuk was the largest
Western Arctic community on the coast and was an important
point for the re-supply of DEW line stations
Today the Northern Transportation Company Limited (NTCL)
employs many in the transportation industry while others work
in the exploration field. The petroleum industry is also a key
aspect of the economy. Traditional lifestyles, hunting and rPrppt #y

Dear Mayor Durksen and Council:
I have received from my colleague, the Honourable Ujjal Dosanjh, copies of your
May 17 and 27, 1999, letters to him regarding the Intersection Safety Camera
Program and traffic fine revenue sharing, and his reply of July 20, 1999. I apologize
for the delay in my response regarding payment of traffic fine revenue sharing.
A letter dated April 15, 1999, was sent to all municipal Treasurers regarding the
1999 payment schedule of Local Government Grants. Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing
will be provided on October 29, 1999. The amount you will receive is $205,416.
This is based on municipal policing costs. Your police costs ($6,838,508) are 1.56%
(i.e. this is the calculation percentage rounded to two decimal places) of the 1997
aggregate municipal police costs in the Province. Therefore, you receive 1.56%
(rounded) of $13.2 million allocated for Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing. The Ministry
of Attorney General is responsible for docUmenting the police costs and provides
them.to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs.
