Council Meeting Minutes June 13, 2000 Page 2 The Director of Development Engineering presented a document entitled Amendments to Maple Ridge Development Cost Charge By-law No. 5911-2000 dated May 29, 2000. He explained that the purpose of the amendment is to include new zones, incorporate new capital projects and capital project amendments in Development Cost Charge (DCC) by-law methodology and structure, incorporate and formalize the funding of new and amended projects in the Capital Works Program. He noted that considerations and objectives include greater consistency with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs DCC Real Practices Guidelines (BPG's), the Five Year Financial Plan, Official Community Plan, etc. He reviewed the DCC Review Findings and DCC Levies Change Charts for the Urban and Rural areas, noting that the proposed levies are considerably lower than those of the majority of other Municipalities. The Director explained the benefits of the by-law, noting it would facilitate capital works projects in the 2000-200 1 Capital Works Program that are identified as DCC funded items but not in the current DCC by-law, provide for DCC collections in the zones that are not currently provided for and provide greater consistency with Ministry Guidelines. Anticipated benefits of the by-law are that it will encourage commercial development in an expanded downtown core for which lower levies apply than in the urban area, encourage townhouse development in urban areas through the reduced low density townhouse levy and facilitate accelerated approval turn-around by the Inspector of Municipalities. Councillor Gordon questioned how long it will be before the new Development Cost Charges come into effect. The Director of Development Engineering advised that it will take several months as the by-law has to be approved in Victoria prior to final reading consideration. On question from Councillor King, the Director of Development Engineering displayed maps identifying the rural, urban and downtown core areas that he referred to in his presentation. He further clarified for the Mayor that the information contained in his presentation will be available at the Engineering counter at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning.

CARRIED 500 DELEGATIONS 501 Presentation of UROC YOUTHA WARD to Miss Jodi Presto,, Councillor Morse called upon Messrs. Bryan Patel and Tony Controneo to present Ms. Jodi Preston with a U ROC Youth Award. They advised that Jodi is very deserving of the award as she has volunteered countless hours of her time organizing and attending numerous community events over the past three years. These include events for children, Mountain Festival, supervision of the monthly teen dances, etc. Jodi has also been very committed to attending the Youth Council meetings for the past several years. The Mayor congratulated Jodi on behalf of Council for her dedication to the community. a Council Meeting Minutes June 13, 2000 Page 4 502 Big Brothers and Sisters - Update on Activities Note: This delegation withdrew from the Agenda. 503 Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) - Impacts of Climate Changes Mr. Nicholas Heap, Air Quality Planner for the GVRD, displayed overhead slides in support of the information contained in his written submission. He noted that the information relates to some of the biggest developments in the areas of climate change and greenhouse gas management over the past year and a half. The following is a summary of his presentation: Impacts of Glimate Chance Mr. Heap advised that scientists are now starting to link current phenomena to climate changes. He displayed a poster illustrating current impacts attributed to climate change, noting that one-third are for impacts within the year 1998. 1998 was hotter by a considerable margin than any other year since reliable records began in the 1860's. It is quite likely that 1998 was the hottest year for at least a thousand years and probably many more. It was hot enough to kill 70 to 90% of many coral reefs around the planet. Data released in 1998 shows that the area of the Arctic Ocean covered by ice has decreased by 6% since the 1970s and the ice is 40% thinner. These trends are detrimental to Polar bears and salmon. Business Response to Climate Change The Global Climate Change Coalition, which is an American lobby group, was for many years skeptical of climate change in general, and consequently lost many prominent members. Those firms are now developing or manufacturing electric vehicles, solar panels, energy turbines and fuel cells. Wind and solar energy are growing rapidly but still produce less than one tenth of one percent of the world's power. Government Response to Climate Chanze The United Kingdom committed to cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 10% from 1990 levels by 2010. They met that commitment in 1999 and are now going for a 20% reduction by 2010. Canada's record is not so positive. Canada has committed to a minus 6% level by 2010 but at present is at plus 13%. Canada has an extremely high per capita emission rate of greenhouse gases. Council Meeting Minutes June 13, 2000 Page 5 He added that the federal government budget allocates $500 million for climate change initiatives and much of that money is available to Municipalities through various programs. Councillor King asked Mr. Heaps for an example of Municipal projects that would be eligible for federal funding. Mr. Heaps responded that federal money is available for solar swimming pools. The Mayor advised that he has information on the solar pooi initiative, noting that there is a grant available up to $80,000, and he will circulate that information to Council. He further noted that the GVRD Planning and Environmental Committee is looking at other initiatives and he will keep Council informed of them. Also, resolutions have been brought forward to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) in support of encouraging the federal government to meet the objectives that they have agreed to. He thanked Mr. Heaps for his informative presentation. 600 UNFINISHED BUSINESS 601 DVP/20/OO-22100— 136Avenue (to relax the required setback for a proposed cold storage building from 30 metres to 5 metres from the top of bank of stream channel to permit the expansion of an existing mushroom growing business).

Discussion On question from Councillor Isaac, the Municipal Clerk confirmed that the motion Council passed last week placing a restrictive covenant on the use of the lands will form part of the Development Variance Permit. The motion CARRIED.

Public Works and Development Services 902 Hill House - Recommendation by Heritage Advisory Committee to include in the Community Heritage The Municipal Council considered the recommendation from the Heritage Advisory Committee that Hill House be included in the Community Heritage Register. RI00-318 902.1 Hill House - include in Heri- MOVED by Councillor King tage Registry SECONDED by Councillor Gordon that the recommendation from the Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting of Thursday, April 20, 2000 requiring Jayman Master Builders to have Hill House included in the Community Heritage Register be supported. Discussion Councillor Speirs asked if Hill House has been included on the District's GIS property information system with regard to buildings of historical significance. The Director of Current Planning responded that the building has not been included in the GIS system but it has been identified in the Community Heritage Inventory. Council Meeting Minutes June 13, 2000 Page 8 Councillor Speirs questioned if Hill House relates to the Heritage Management Plan of 1997-1998 in some way. He stated that in order to move this issue forward, he has to know certain other things about heritage preservation in this community. He noted that it was suggested in the Heritage Management Plan that a brochure be prepared explaining the heritage permit application process and questioned if that brochure has been prepared. The Director of Current Planning responded that the brochure is in staff's work program but has not yet been completed. Councillor Speirs questioned if the Heritage Advisory Committee is ready to expand its mandate to qualify as a Heritage Commission. Councillor King responded that the Heritage Advisory Committee has done work on the brochure and on reconstituting itself into a Heritage Commission but that work is not completed. She anticipates that it will be done in the Fall. The Commission status is relatively new and the Committee wants to proceed cautiously. Council approval will be required for the change in status. Councillor Speirs questioned if the District has adopted a Heritage Maintenance Standards By-law and the Director of Current Planning responded in the negative. Councillor Speirs questioned if the District has a Heritage Design Panel that it uses as part of the development approval process. The Director of Current Planning responded in the negative. The Mayor noted that there are architects on the Advisory Design Panel who are knowledgeable on heritage matters. Councillor Speirs noted that Council is therefore the only existing means there is for preserving Hill House. He supports the motion but would like to see it go further. Councillor Gordon voiced her support for the motion, noting that it is a first step, however, she does not feel it goes far enough because placing the house on the Heritage Register does not give any legal protection to the house as a heritage building. If the house were to be designated as a heritage building, it would be noted on the title to the property. The Heritage Advisory Committee wants to work with the new owner to restore the house but under the registration option the Committee would have no way of knowing there was a new owner. Without the building being designated, the new owners will not know that they are buying a site that is on the Heritage Registry as it would not be noted on title. She questioned if a covenant can be placed on the house or if there is any other way to let the new owners know that the house is on the Registry. She also questioned how the Heritage Advisory Committee will know when the house has been sold. a Council Meeting Minutes June 13, 2000 Page 9 Councillor Morse stated that it was her understanding that staff was going to investigate if the registration could be placed on title. The Director of Current Planning clarified that generally speaking, the Land Titles Office permits covenants of a restrictive nature to be placed on title, however, it does not allow advisory information such as the registration to be placed on title. He suggested that Council could ask the developer to advise the District on a voluntary basis when the house is sold. Councillor Gordon stated that she has watched other things disappear because there was no process in place to prevent that from happening. She noted that the community has made a considerable effort to preserve Hill House and she wants to ensure that its heritage value is retained. She is concerned that there is no process in place to guarantee that the Heritage Advisory Committee will have a chance to do its work in that regard. Councillor King noted that a recommendation to designate the house a heritage site was defeated at Committee of the Whole. There are quite severe limitations to what can be done within the scope of the registration option but she would suggest that the motion and this discussion be referred to the Heritage Advisory Committee and that a letter be written to the current owners of the property asking them to advise the District when the property is sold so that the new owners can meet with the Heritage Advisory Committee and be provided with the history of the house. The Mayor directed that staff carry out the suggestions made by Councillor King. The motion CARRIED. R/00-319 902.2 Motion re Hill House Revit. Agmt. MOVED by Councillor Speirs DEFERRED SECONDED by Councillor Gordon that prior to final reading of the development by-laws related to the Hill House site, the Municipality and the owners of Hill House complete negotiations exploring the possible monetary and non-monetary incentives available to preserve Hill House, including but not limited to,, the following - tax exemptions, monetary grants, design advice, compensation for loss of market value, funding by non-profit groups, building code considerations, new uses, technical advice, program co- ordination, commemoration and designation - noting that the aim of said negotiations is to come up with a Heritage Revitalization Agreement. Council Meeting Minutes June 13, 2000 Page 10 Discussion Councillor King asked what the implications are of placing a new condition on an application that has already been considered for three readings and if Council can impose the condition at this stage of the application. The Chief Administrative Officer responded that he believes that it is too late in this project to put that kind of condition forward. The scope of the motion is significant enough that if Council wants to consider it for heritage buildings generally, staff can look into the implications, including the cost implications, of doing it more globally. With respect to Hill House, the project is far enough along that this is a significant departure from what has taken place to date. Councillor Speirs stated that it is his understanding this is a very appropriate time to add new conditions. Councillors Isaac and Morse indicated that they would prefer to have more staff input before voting on the motion. Councillor Gordon stated that it was her understanding when the related development application came forward for second and third reading consideration that conditions could still be imposed. She would like further clarification on that point. The Mayor stated that he too would like to see this motion go back to staff for a report as he is not sure what impact it would have on the applicants and the Municipality. MOVED by Councillor King SECONDED by Councillor Gordon that the motion be deferred for 30 days pending a report from staff. Councillor Speirs quoted Policy 91 of the Official Community Plan which states that "Maple Ridge will encourage the conservation and designation of significant heritage structures and landscape features in each neighbourhood" and proposed the following motion: RI00-320 MOVED by Councillor Speirs Hill House Motion SECONDED by Councillor Isaac re Inspection -S Council Meeting Minutes June 13, 2000 Page 11 DEFERRED that prior to final reading of the development by-laws related to the Hill House site, the District approve a heritage inspection to assess the heritage and conservation needs of Hill House. Discussion The Chief Administrative Officer advised that the District has authority under the Municipal Act to do the inspection but would have to establish for what purpose. If the inspection showed that there were deficiencies or work that needs to be done, the District would have no capacity, budget or integrated management plan in place that would provide for a full range of options with respect to maintenance and enhancement of the buildings Legally, the inspection is acceptable but if it says that things need to be done the District has no capacity to do them. Councillor Speirs stated that it is his intention to find out what kind of shape Hill House is in and if it will need work as no one really knows. In keeping with Policy 9, he feels that Council has to do some due diligence. Councillor Gordon indicated that she would like to have a staff report first as she feels that this motion may be premature. MOVED by Councillor King SECONDED by Councillor Gordon that the motion be deferred for 30 days pending a report from staff. The Mayor asked that in future the Councillors provide notice of proposed motions and/or submit them in writing. 903 RZ122100 - 20173, 20185 and 20189 Dewdney Trunk Road and 12063, 12069 and 12075 - 202 Street - RS-3 to RS-1 - By-law No. 5898-2000 Reference was made to the staff report dated May 18, 2000 recommending that the subject by-law to change the zoning of six parcels back from RS-3 to RS-1 due to a mapping error be granted three readings.

Discussion The General Manager of Community Development, Parks and Recreation Services explained that alternative locations have been provided by the District for other groups that have been displaced because of the core area construction where it is anticipated that those groups will return to the core area. The District does currently provide funding support for many of the festival organizations on a negotiated or as-needed basis. The reason for granting the request for funding in this case is that the Society will not be able to use the bandstand and other facilities in the core area and will have to build a stage in their new location at a substantial cost. Councillor Morse stated that she is not comfortable approving funding for the two additional years unless there is an evaluation done first. The General Manager of Community Development, Parks and Recreation Services clarified that the Society will have to come back to the District in future years and make application for additional funding. Councillor Gordon spoke in support of the motion, noting that it is a reasonable request and an expense that was not anticipated by the Society. The District has accommodated others who have been displaced by the downtown core construction activities. Councillor Morse reiterated that the motion states that "a similar grant will be considered for two additional years. . .", noting that while this may not be an obligation on the part of the District, the Society may interpret it as an obligation. Council Meeting Minutes June 13, 2000 Page 17 The General Manager of Community Development, Parks and Recreation Services advised that if the motion is approved, staff can communicate to the Society that they must report back to Council on the details of the costs involved.

The FCM had an interesting workshop on quality of life indicators which she has referred to the Social Planning Advisory Committee. She advised that the District's resolution regarding the labelling of genetically modified foods was passed at the FCM. She noted that there currently is no water legislation in British Columbia and she would like to see Council submit resolutions to the FCM and the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) on that issue. 1100 OTHER MA TTERS DEEMED EXPEDIENT 1101 Municipal First Quarter Report Reference was made to the staff report dated May 18, 2000 in support of the following recommendation contained therein: a Council Meeting Minutes It June 13, 2000 Page 21 R/00-337 MOVED by Councillor Morse First Quarter SECONDED by Councillor Speirs Report that the Municipal First Quarter Report be received for information.

June 14, 2000 +1 Date Municipal Clerk S.- CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: His Worship Mayor A. Hogarth DATE: May 29, 2000 and Members of Council FILE NO: E08-008-001 .2000 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C/W - PW&DS SUBJECT: Maple Ridge Development Cost Charge Bylaw No. 5911-2000 (First, Second and Third Reading) SUMMARY: Maple Ridge Development Cost Charge Bylaw No. 5911-2000 addresses the issues of general updating (new zones), housekeeping (capital project additions and amendments) as well as, provision of a separate low-density Townhouse levy for the Urban Area. Approval of the bylaw by the Inspector of Municipalities is required following three readings of Maple Ridge Development Cost Charge Bylaw No. 5911-2000 by Council. The Inspector's approval will be considered in the context of consistency with the Official Community Plan, the recently adopted Five-Year Financial Plan and the Development Cost Charges Best Practices Guidelines (BPG's) of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. RECOMMENDATION: That Maple Ridge Development Cost Charge Bylaw No. 5911-2000 be read and first and second time, and that the Rules of Order be waived and that Maple Ridge Development Cost Charge Bylaw No. 5911-2000 be read a third time. BACKGROUND: Purpose: In light of the introduction of a number of new zones to the Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 - 1985 (consolidated to February 29, 2000), the incorporation of new or amended DCC funded capital projects in the Capital Works Program, and a request to investigate the merits of a townhouse levy for the Urban Area, it is appropriate to amend Maple Ridge Development Cost Charge Bylaw No. 5615-1997. Policy Implications: Sections 933 through 937 of the Municipal Act address the legislative authority relating too development cost charges. The Ministry of Municipal Affair's Development Cost Charges Best Practices Guide of 1997 examines in detail the design and implementation elements of development cost charges including Best Practices Guidelines (BPG's) for addressing pertinent issues including the preparation of a DCC bylaw. Maple Ridge Development Cost Charge Bylaw No. 5911-2000 provides for a great deal of consistency with the guidelines. The move to greater BPG consistency has resulted in a shift of funding burden from the residential category to the commercial and industrial land use categories. In large part, this is function of reassigning the road burden on a different and more equitable basis driven by demand (trip generation) and potential usage. The result is that the commercial and industrial land uses are expected to pay a greater and fairer share of future highway construction due to use. The shifting of servicing burden between land use categories and a reevaluation and updating of development potential 'by area has an impact on several of the servicing components. The result is a levy structure that is more closely attuned to the best practices guidelines and an updated assessment of the development potential of the community. -1- 3,;Z~ ( Staff also undertook a preliminary infrastructure use and burdening exercise for the Downtown Core Area. As a result, the area boundary is adjusted to address greater equity from a service burdening perspective. The impact is that the area is expanded thereby allowing additional lands to take advantage of the lower Downtown Core levies rather than those imposed for development in the Urban Area. This approach is in keeping with the corporate strategic objective of finding ways to attracting development activity into the Downtown Core. Conclusion: The Director of Development Engineering presented an overview of the DCC topic to Council in December 1999, followed in January 2000 by a more detailed presentation relating to legislative requirements, servicing considerations, and other objectives driving the need for an amended bylaw. This report and Maple Ridge Development Cost Charge Bylaw No. 5911-2000 are the culmination of staff's work in this regard. Maple Ridge Development Cost Charge Bylaw No. 5911-2000 provides for levy reductions in the low- density and high-density urban residential land use designations in the Urban Area and the residential 1 and 2 in the Rural Area. Residential levies in the Downtown Core are slightly higher. A redistribution of servicing burden between land uses undertaken to address consistency issues with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs Best Practices Guidelines, results in the commercial and industrial land use designations of the Urban, Downtown Core and Rural Areas paying higher levies. A review of DCC Bylaw levies recently published by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs indicates that the levies provided Maple Ridge Development Cost Charge Bylaw No. 5911-2000 are either in keeping wit (reside tial) or lower than (commercial, industrial) the levies imposed in other Prepared Engineering Prepared by/ Frank Quinn, P.Eng., I' Municipal Engineer Approved by: Jake J.

CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: His Worship Mayor A. Hogarth DATE: June 6, 2000 and Members of Council FILE NO: Bill 35 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W - PW & Dev SUBJECT: Bill 35 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On May 29, 2000, Committee of the Whole received a request from the Board of School Trustees of school District No. 42 to accept a resolution passed by the Board on May 16, 2000. Staff have reviewed the support material provided by the School District and recommend that Council support the Board resolution. II RECOMMENDATION: That the resolution passed May 16, 2000 by the Board of School Trustees for School District No. 42 regarding proposed eligible school site requirements for the School District be accepted. III DISCUSSION: At the May 1, 2000 Committee of the Whole meeting, representatives of School District No. 42 presented information regarding a proposal for School Site Acquisition charges under Division 10.1 of the Municipal Act. In subsequent correspondence, further information (see attached) has been provided to support the Board resolutions. The school sites identified in Table 5 correspond to designated sites in the Official Community Plan and represent anticipated school enrollment for the next 10 years. Municipal staff have, in consultation with the School District Consultant, discussed issues relating to the development potential based upon the Official Community Plan. The projections for number of residential lots or units being used in the School District # 42 Eligible school Sites Statistics Report are consistent with staff's projections. Consistency of the numbers was -- •1 recognized by both the School District Consultant and municipal staff as being critical to the exercise. By working collaboratively both parties benefited in advancing'important initiatives, namely, the Bill 35 School Site Acquisition Charge and the DCC Review. - I - /F, IV CONCLUSION: The previous Municipal Council championed the charges introduced under Bill 35. Staff have reviewed the support material and concur with the information provided. As a result, staff recommend that Council accept the resolution recently passed by the Board of School Trustees for School District No. 42. Prepared by( Terry Planning Approv54by: \(Jake J.

Robertson, AICP, MCIP Chief Administrative Officer TFIbjc -2- School District 42 Eligible School Site Statistics An Eligible School Sites Proposal is a document containing ten year projections of the number of dwelling units and students together with an identification of the location and approximate cost of school sites that will be necessary to serve the additional students. Our staff have consulted with the Districts of Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge to ensure that the projections are those being used by the municipalities in their planning, and that the school sites identified are those contained in the Official Community Plans of the two communities. This proposal is the first step in implementation of the recently enacted Education Statutes Amendment Act, 1998 with respect to School Site Acquisition Charges. This information will be included in the District's Capital Plan submission to the Ministry of Education. The following sections detail the calculations leading to proposed School Site Acquisition Charges. 1. Eligible Dwelling Units Staff of both municipalities were consulted and provided the projections of units and the breakdown of the types of units as follows: Table 1 Projected Number of Eligible Units 2001 - 2010 Tow.b..

As a result, the amount payable by School Site Acquisition Charges is a ratio of the number of new students generated by new development divided by the total number of student spaces required. The following Table demonstrates the existing situation: Table 3 Pent-up Demand Calculation Secondary Schools Current Enrolment 5955 Current Capacity 5075 Pent-up Demand 880 Elementary/Kindergarten Schools Current Enrolment 9347 Current Capacity 8688 Pent-up Demand 659 Total Pent-up Demand 1539 4. Enrolment Projection After determining the amount of pent-up demand, the School District is to make enrolment projections for the next 10 years. In that the numbers used to determine the number of eligible development unit students has been calculated in consultation with the municipalities, this number is identical to that in part 2. The table below demonstrates the enrolment projections. Table 4 Enrolment Forecast Current Year 2,000 Current Enrolment 15,302 Year 10 2,010 Ten year enrolment 18.650 Ten year Increase 3,348 S. Required School Sites After review of the number of students, the number, location, size and approximate cost of school sites needed to serve the new development is assessed. We have worked with the municipal staff and their Official Community Plans to determine the number and location of required sites. The following table demonstrates the sites, their approximate size, and a summary of acquisition costs.

CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: His Worship Mayor A. Hogarth DATE: June 6, 2000 and Members of Council FILE NO: Bill 35 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W - PW & Dev SUBJECT: Bill 35 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On May 29, 2000, Committee of the Whole received a request from the Board of School Trustees of school District No. 42 to accept a resolution passed by the Board on May 16, 2000. Staff have reviewed the support material provided by the School District and recommend that Council support the Board resolution. II RECOMMENDATION: That the resolution passed May 16, 2000 by the Board of School Trustees for School District No. 42 regarding proposed eligible school site requirements for the School District be accepted. III DISCUSSION: At the May 1, 2000 Committee of the Whole meeting, representatives of School District No. 42 presented information regarding a proposal for School Site Acquisition charges under Division 10.1 of the Municipal Act. In subsequent correspondence, further information (see attached) has been provided to support the Board resolutions. The school sites identified in Table 5 correspond to designated.'sites.in..the Official. Community Plan and represent anticipated school enrollment for the next 10 years. Municipal staff have, in consultation with the School District Consultant, discussed issues relating to the development potential based upon the Official Community Plan. The projections for number of residential lots or units being used in the School District # 42 Eligible school Sites Statistics Report are consistent with staff's projections. Consistency of the numbers was recognized by both the School District Consultant and municipal staff as being critical to the exercise. By working collaboratively both parties benefited in advancing important initiatives, namely, the Bill 35 School Site Acquisition Charge and the DCC Review. sy -1- IF IV CONCLUSION: The previous Municipal Council championed the charges introduced under Bill 35. Staff have reviewed the support material and concur with the information provided. As a result, staff recommend that Council accept the resolution recently passed by the Board of School Trustees for School District No. 42. Prepared Planning Approvj4by: \ (Jake J.

Robertson, AICP, MCIP Chief Administrative Officer TFfbjc -2- School District 42 Eligible School Site Statistics An Eligible School Sites Proposal is a document containing ten year projections of the number of dwelling units and students together with an identification of the location and approximate cost of school sites that will be necessary to serve the additional students. Our staff have consulted with the Districts of Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge to ensure that the projections are those being used by the municipalities in their planning, and that the school sites identified are those contained in the Official Community Plans of the two communities. This proposal is the first step in implementation of the recently enacted Education Statutes Amenthnent Act, 1998 with respect to School Site Acquisition Charges. This information will be included in the District's Capital Plan submission to the Ministry of Education. The following sections detail the calculations leading to proposed School Site Acquisition Charges. 1. Eligible Dwelling Units Staff of both municipalities were consulted and provided the projections of units and the breakdown of the types of units as follows: Table 1 Projected Number of Eligible Units 2001 - 2010 Ye.r Øe Dsd Tohoe Apwbeent Tol MapkR1de 2001 222 150 84 456 2002 227 153 86 466 2003 231 156 as 475 2004 245 165 93 503 2005 249 168 95 512 2006 254 172 97 523 2007 259 . 175 9* 532 2008 265 179 100 544 2009 317 202 58 577 2010 323 206 59 58* TOW 2592 1726 858 5176 PItt Meaáow. 2001 80 80 2002 80 10 90 2003 80 10 90 2004 80 50 130 2005 80 40 120 2006 80 10 90 2007 80 10 90 2008 80 80 2009 80 80 2010 80 40 120 TOW 800 80 90 970 School Dti1ct ToIl 2001 302 150 84 536 2002 307 153 96 556 2003 311 156 9* 565 2004 325 165 143 633 2005 329 208 95 632 2006 334 172 107 613 2007 339 175 108 622. 2008 345 179 100 624 2009 397 202 58 657 2010 403 246 59 708 ToIl 3392 1806 948 6146 2 Number of Students The School District has accurate information on the number of students that reside in different forms of residential development, and the numbers reflect some differences between Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge. The following table demonstrates the number of projected units and the number of additional students expected to live in those units.

As a result, the amount payable by School Site Acquisition Charges is a ratio of the number of new students generated by new development divided by the total number of student spaces required. The following Table demonstrates the existing situation: Table 3 Pent-up Demand Calculation Secon-daiy Schools Current Enrolment 5955 Current Capacity 5075 Pent-up Demand 880 Elementary/Kindergarten Schools Current Enrolment 9347 Current Capacity 8688 Pent-up Demand 659 Total Pent-up Demand 1539 3 4. Enrolment Projection After determining the amount of pent-up demand, the School District is to make enrolment projections for the next 10 years. In that the numbers used to determine the number of eligible development unit students has been calculated in consultation with the municipalities, this number is identical to that in part 2. The table below demonstrates the enrolment projections. Table 4 Enrolment Forecast Current Year 2,000 Current Enrolment 15,302 Year 10 2,010 Ten year enrolment 18.650 Ten year Increase 3,348 S. Required School Sites After review of the number of students, the number, location, size and approximate cost of school sites needed to serve the new development is assessed. We have worked with the municipal staff and their Official Community Plans to determine the number and location of required sites. The following table demonstrates the sites, their approximate size, and a summaly of acquisition costs. It is important to note that these sites are all designated on the Official Community Plans of the two municipalities in the District.

Additions to the Agenda Mr. Murray announced two further additions to the Agenda: • Item 70) - Correspondence from Mr. Collier; • Item 7(k) - Cottonwood East Park Site - Discussion. Ridge Meadows Parks & Leisure Services Commission Regular Meeting April 13, 2000 Page 2 Adoption of the Agenda MOVED BY Councillor Debra Eisel SECONDED BY Trustee Annette Code That the Agenda be adopted as amended. CAR1JED Minutes of the March 9, 2000, Regular Meeting MOVED BY Trustee David Rempel SECONDED BY Councillor Faye Isaac That the Minutes of the March 9, 2000, Regular Meeting be adopted. CARRIED Minutes of the March 9, 2000, Joint Meeting MOVED BY Councillor Faye Isaac SECONDED BY Councillor Debra Eisel That the Minutes of the March 9, 2000, Joint Meeting with the Parks & Leisure Services Commission & Citizens' Advisory Committee be adopted. CARRIED Delegations Decision Items (a) Artist in Residence Program MOVED BY Trustee David Rempel SECONDED BY Councillor Gwen O'Connell That an artist in residence be established at Maple Ridge Park for a one year trial period. Ms. Meisner reported that she has viewed the site at Maple Ridge Park and believes that it would be an appropriate place for an artist in residence to live. Ridge Meadows Parks & Leisure 4 Services Commission Regular Meeting April 13, 2000 Page 3 This would be in place of a standard Fee for Service Caretaker Agreement, as the artist would look after the house and provide other services such as art instruction in lieu of rent. She explained that a newspaper advertisement would be placed seeking applications for an artist in residence on a one year trial basis. Mr. Murray added that art groups would participate through the selection process. It was noted that the Arts Council fully endorse this idea, but are presently involved with other projects, and have requested to be kept apprised of the matter. Mayor Don MacLean joined the meeting at this time. [W. 11S (b) Vending Contract MOVED BY Councillor Gwen O'Connell SECONDED BY Trustee David Rempel That staff be authorized to explore the possibility of a vending machine and cold beverage contract for all Parks & Leisure Services Facilities with the noted exceptions of Planet Ice, Pitt Meadows Rinks, The Pitt Meadows Athletic Association Building, and other facilities leased to others for terms of more than one year. Mr. Murray reported that in the last 2 years Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows Councils have given direction to seek revenue sources to help minimize net costs. He further stated that if there is a willingness for such vending contracts, then staff will proceed with the process, noting that conditions would have to be placed in any calls for proposals. There was a discussion on facilities that the Commission does not have control over, as well as entering into a contract with a supplier and not receiving much revenue back from .athiet-ic -groups. -The- option-of entering into- an - existing vending contract with the School Board was discussed, which may provide an opportunity for generating more revenue. On discussion, Councillor King noted her disagreement with this item. Mr. Murray responded that the intent is not to cut into the groups' revenue, but to generate more funds beyond what they make. The Commission questioned the School Board's existing vending contract which is 10 years, but can be reviewed after 5 years. There is a provision in the contract for others to join in. Ridge Meadows Parks & Leisure Services Commission Regular Meeting April 13, 2000 Page 4 The Commission does not want vending contracts to interfere with sports groups, they want to respect the groups by including them and giving them incentive because the product will be purchased by them for less money, thereby having them share in the profit. Mr. Murray clarified the discussion stating that if the Commission were to proceed with this matter, there would be a sharing of revenue with sports groups. THE MOTION CARRIED WITH COUNCILLOR KING OPPOSED. (c) Vending Carts Although no delegation was scheduled, the Commission was not opposed to Ms. Saare speaking to the above item. Ms. Saare advised the Commission that there is no access to food or beverages at certain playing fields in the community, and she would like the opportunity to provide a vending cart service on certain sites. The Commission expressed mixed feelings regarding this item, however, they are prepared to consider allowing a vending cart where there are organized activities taking place with no concession facilities available. Ms. Saare left the Council Chamber at this time. Mr. Murray recognized that the Citizens' Advisory Committee member was not present to share the Committee's view on this item. He highlighted the report and the Committee's view that vending carts would be intrusive. MOVED BY Councillor Linda King SECONDED BY Councillor Faye Isaac That a request for proposals be prepared for exclusive vending cart concession services for Maple Ridge Park and athletic parks not currently served by concession facilities noting that input should be obtained on the proposal call documentation from the Commission prior to the opportunity being advertised.

Mr. Murray explained that this item was self-explanatory with the only complication being private properties crossing the river. He stated the only other alternative for the duck race would be between Maple Ridge Park and Horseman's Park, but the same would apply where private property exists.

I have this presentation scripted for a Proxima and an overhead projector, but I can make do without the Proxima quite easily. A laser pointer gadget would be useful (for pointing out stuff on the poster) if you have one to lend. Could you send me some instructions on the best way to get to your Municipal Hall (from Metrotown)? It will be my first visit there. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

The presentation will touch on new findings about current and anticipated impacts of climate change, as well as governmental and business responses to climate change issues. <<2000-05 Presentation text - for.. Maple Ridge>> b3 Top Stories in Climate Change - Nicholas Heap, GVJW Air Quality Planner http://www.climatehotmap.org! Thank you Your Worship and Council members: This presentation was given to the Planning and Environment Committee of the GVRD, in response to a request from the Committee for a very quick overview of some of the biggest developments in the areas of climate change and greenhouse gas management over the past year and a half. I will be looking at three areas today: - the direct and anticipated impacts of climate change - governmental responses, and - business responses to climate change IMPACTS of Climate Change Headlines Overhead The big story in terms of Impacts is that scientists are now starting to link current phenomena to climate change. Up until recently, human-caused climate change was something that had yet to happen. More and more, scientists are saying that it is now happening. Poster Overhead Here is a poster illustrating current impacts attributed to climate change, produced by the Union of Concerned Scientists, and by a number of environmental organizations in the United States. We don't have time to look at all 91 items shown on this poster, unfortunately, but I can leave a copy for you, so that you can take a closer look at it later. For now, I would point out three things that are shown on the poster. Temp. Graph Overhead Perhaps the single most striking thing about this poster is that one-third of all these boxes - about 30 of them - refer to impacts within the year 1998. As the graph on the overhead shows, 1998 was hotter - by a considerable margin - than any other year since reliable records began in the I 860s. It is quite likely that 1998 was the hottest year for at least a thousand years, and probably a lot more. Coral Impacts. Overhead How hot was it? It was hot enough to kill 70-90% of many coral reefs around the planet - one of the impacts highlighted on this poster. Here's another chart that shows impacts on coral reefs in the Indian and Pacific Oceans as well as the Caribbean. Initial guesses are that it will take anywhere from 10 to 100 years for these various reefs to recover - as long we don't experience another 1998 within that time. But climate scientists are expecting 1998 temperatures to become "normal" in the coming years. Top Stories in Climate Change - Nicholas Heap, GVRD Air Quality Planner Polar Bear Overhead Did Earth only start to have impacts in 1998? No. Data released in 1998 shows that the area of the Arctic Ocean covered by ice has decreased by about 6% since the 1970s. More alarming is the fact that the same ice has also thinned by 40% in the same time period. At current rates, the Northwest Passage will be a navigable waterway in 20 to 25 years. Already, reduction in ice thickness has shortened the amount of time poiar bears can hunt on the ice - and they are now 100 to 200 pounds lighter than they were a generation ago. More ominously, salmon now appear to be shifting their range northward into the less-frozen Arctic Ocean, and out of the warming Pacific Ocean. What has the BUSINESS response been to climate change? Wind Turbine Overhead It is fair to say that there has been a "wind of change" in the last two years. Here is a telling example. The Global Climate Change Coalition is an American lobby group which was skeptical of climate change in general, and against the Kyoto Protocol in particular. As scientific evidence for the reality of climate change has mounted, they have lost a lot of prominent members: Royal Dutch Shell left in 1997 BPAmoco-1998 DaimlerChrysler - 1999 Ford left this January Texaco - February And General Motors left in mid-March At the beginning of April, the Global Climate Coalition said that they would no longer be actively disputing global warming. And they would no longer announce companies leaving their organization. And it's not just that these firms are leaving a skeptic organization - they are actively repositioning themselves for a world in which global climate change is a reality. Almost every major car manufacturer is currently developing electric, electric hybrid, or fuel vehicles. BP Amoco is now the world's largest solar panel manufacturer. Enron the natural gas company is also the USA's largest wind energy turbine manufacturer. Ten days ago, Texaco bought into a fuel cell manufacturer. Top Stories in Climate Change - Nicholas Heap, GVIW Air Quality Planner These companies are not making these investments in order to be nice. These companies are doing what they're doing in order to make lots of money. Ballard has been called the "new Intel". The solar industry is growing at 20% per year. Wind energy has been growing at about 30-40% per year for the past five years - faster than any other industry on the planet except the Internet. Mind you, even with these rates of growth, wind and solar currently produce less than one-tenth of one percent of the world's power. Finally, what has the GOVERNMENT RESPONSE been to climate change? Earth- from-Space Overhead Ever since the Energy Crisis, greenhouse gas emissions have grown at a slower rate than the economy - indicating increasing energy efficiency. In 1998 however, global emissions of greenhouse gases declined even as the global economy grew by 2.5%. Increasingly, the world seems to be delinking economic progress from the burning of fossil fuels. One strong example of this is the United Kingdom, which committed to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 10% from 1990 levels by 2010. In 1999, the United Kingdom has already met that commitment - so now they are going for a 20% reduction by 2010. Our own record is not so positive. Canada has committed to a -6% level by 2010, but at present we are at + 13%. Together with Australia and the United States, Canada has extremely high per capita emissions of greenhouse gases. Of course, that also means that there is no shortage of opportunities for reducing emissions! Finally, I would add that the latest federal government budget allocates $500 Million dollars for climate change initiatives, and much of this federal money is available to municipalities through various programs. 3 LWOM ~~M— — aw orporation of the District of Maple Ridge 11995 Haney Place, Maple Ridge, B.C.

Yours truly, Trevor Municipal Clerk cc Confidential Secretary "Promoting a Safe and Livable Community for our Present and Future Citizens" 100% Recycled Paper CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: His Worship Mayor A. Hogarth DATE: May 1, 2000 and Members of Council FILE NO: DVP/20100 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Committee of the Whole SUBJECT: DVP/20/00 (22100 136 Ave.) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The owners of the subject property plan to expand their existing mushroom growing business and have requested a relaxation in the required setback for a proposed cold storage building from 30 m to 5 m from the top of bank of a stream channel. The location of the building would permit the existing and proposed buildings to be linked with an enclosed walkway in order to recycle cooled air between buildings. The 5 m setback is supported by staff and the Ministry of Environment, Fish and Wildlife Branch provided that the channel bank is revegitated. II RECOMMENDATION: That the Municipal Clerk be authorized to notify qualifying property owners that approval of DVP/20/00 respecting property located at 22100 136 Ave. will be considered by Council at the June 13, 2000 meeting. III BACKGROUND: Applicant: D. Jansen Owner: Yi-Shiung Hsu and Ching-Ju Lin Hsu Legal Description: E ½ of the W ½ of the N1/2 of the NE1/4, Sec. 30, Tp. 12, NWD OCP: Existing: Agricultural Zoning: Existing: A-2 Surrounding Uses N: S,E&W: Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Access: Servicing: Cranberry Bog Agricultural/Residential Mushroom Farm Expansion to Mushroom Farm 136 Ave. Rural Standards apply IV PROJECT DESCRIPTION The owners of the subject property are interested in expanding the existing mushroom growing operation. There is an existing stream channel located south of the existing buildings. The owners wish to locate a new building on the south side of the stream channel. Zoning Bylaw Sec. 503 (2)(c)(iii) states that: "Buildings and structures for agricultural use that involve mushroom growing shall be sited not less than 30 metres from all wells and streams." The owner requested that the building be located directly adjacent to the stream. It was concluded, through discussion with the Ministry of Environment Habitat Protection Officer and the owners, that a 5 m setback from top of bank would be acceptable. The building will be used for cold storage and not require any direct discharge of fluids to the stream. Respecting the zoning bylaw requirement of a 30 m setback, the owners are requesting a variance of 25 m to allow construction of the new building. V PLANNING ANALYSIS Official Community Plan Designation The subject property is located in the Agricultural Land Reserve and is designated Agricultural on Schedule "B" of the Official Community Plan. Land Use The owners currently operate a mushroom farm. The existing building is cooled, creating the appropriate environment for the operation. The proposed building will also function under a cooled environment. It is the owners intention to site the proposed building close enough to the existing building in order to recycle the cooler air from the first building to the second building via an enclosed walkway. Through discussion with staff and the Habitat Protection Officer, the agreed setback from the top of bank is 5 metres. Stream Channel Diversion The original channel angled through the property in the north west direction. As well, periodically during the year the channel would flood its banks. The owner redirected the channel and increased the flow capacity to reduce the number of flood events. As compensation for the reduced building setback and to add some habitat value to the stream channel, the Ministry of Environment, Fish and Wildlife Branch are requesting a compensation package that includes planting native tree species along the top of bank and hydro-seeding the channel. These works are also intended to provide erosion control. The District has a copy of the "first draft" replanting proposal. Respecting that amendments to the plan, including hydro-seeding are required by the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks, it is recommended that final issuance of DVP/20/00 be conditional on approval of this compensation package. -2- VI CONCLUSION: Staff have reviewed this project with the owners and various consultants and conclude that due to the nature of the business and the anticipated use of the proposed building that the 5 m setback will not pose a hazard to the creek system. However the builder should take the necessary steps to floodproof the building, and the compensation package must be approved. ,>c Prepared by: Dave Stevenson Planning Technician Approved y ~ ~')T "Directo,plo ent Planning Jake JTRudolgAICP, MCIP GM: Public Works & Development Services W.

Location The boundary of the Development Permit Area is shown on Schedule "H2" of the Official Community Plan. Objectives To facilitate the orderly development of service commercial properties through particular attention to siting and form of service commercial buildings situated adjacent to residential properties. To ensure compatibility of service commercial and adjacent residential uses. To minimize visual and audible disruption to adjacent residential neighbourhoods through the use of appropriate buffering, landscaping, and uses. To properly site buildings to address site characteristics and minimize impacts on adjacent residential uses. To achieve high quality development in terms of a comprehensive design concept based on attention to general architectural style and detailing, scale, finishing materials, character and materials of façade and roof treatment, treatment of entrance ways, gradation of heights, design and placement of recreation areas, appropriate and safe access, parking arrangement and circulation, and landscaping. To ensure the character of the buildings is sympathetic to existing residential character and presents a quality image to the public streetfront and adjacent residential properties. -F Page 3 Bylaw No. 5878- 1999 D. Guidelines Buildings and structures should be located to ensure safe traffic circulation and access and adequate on-site parking. The character of service commercial uses should be enhanced by landscaping of substantial proportions around property lines, particularly adjacent to residential development, to ensure a compatible and smooth transition to abutting residential uses. Where possible, native vegetation should be retained to enhance the landscape planting by providing variety in maturity and scale. Design and construction of buildings should account for maximum sound attenuation between service commercial and residential uses. To ensure that noise generated on the site is addressed in the most appropriate manner, Council may request that a noise attenuation study be prepared. High intensity lighting and signage should be avoided when adjacent to residential property. Lighting and signage shall be designed so as to have no direct source of light visible from the public right-of-way or adjacent land in residential use. Mechanical equipment, drive-through uses, service or car wash bays, restrooms, vending machines, unenclosed storage, and public telephones should be oriented on the site to face away from adjacent residential zones. Whenever possible, these uses should not be visible from an adjacent residential property. Particular attention should be made to the image presented to the streetfront and adjacent residential properties. A well defined pedestrian access to any accessory commercial use will be provided from the public sidewalk. Design will ensure that pedestrian use is given precedence over vehicular use. Architectural finishes and building design should be compatible with those used on buildings in adjacent residential neighbourhoods. Building design will mimic recent residential construction or the heritage character of a neighbourhood. Exterior finishes should be wood, brick, natural stone or other materials of warm appearance. Substantial areas of coicrete should be avoided. Expanses of solid wall and glass are unacceptable. New buildings adjacent to existing small scale buildings such as houses should be designed to provide visual interest whilst protecting the privacy and livability of both properties. E. Development Permit Not Required A Development Permit is not required for any service commercial development where the lot or parcel in question does not abut a lot or parcel designated for residential use." - Page4 Bylaw No. 5878- 1999 Schedule "A", PART VI - MAP SCHEDULES is hereby amended by the addition of the following: "Schedule H2 Development Permit Areas and Temporary Commercial and Industrial Use Permit Areas ............map pocket".

The attached correspondence applies. RECOMMENDATION: That funding of $6,000 be provided to the Maple Ridge Jazz and Blues Festival Society for the staging of the 2000 event noting that the funding source will be the Downtown Core Transition Fund and that a similar grant will be considered for two additional years during which the event cannot be held in the Maple Ridge downtown core. BACKGROUND: As a result of the downtown core construction, the Jazz and Blues Festival needs to move. The selected new venue is Harris Road Park which enjoys strong visibility from the Lougheed Highway. The event will return to the core area once construction of the Arts Centre and Park is completed. The added costs are the result of having to provide appropriate portable staging and additional advertising to market the event venue change. These are not anticipated by the group to be necessary when the event moves back to the core. The event has grown significantly over the past several years with only in-kind support from the Parks and Leisure Services Commission. The festival does promote both the Commission and Council's objectives of encouraging strong community pride and spirit, has an obvious tourism benefit, and enjoys considerable and growing corporate support. Other festival events (Canada Day, Rivers' Day, Mountain Festival, Pitt Meadows Day) are supported in kind and financially by the Commission on an as-required basis with the intent to encourage self sufficiency over time if possible. - 1 - 11 ( In light of the benefits of the event in both Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, staff are of the view that the requested funding should be made available if it is possible to do so within the 2000 budget envelope. Both the Councils are being asked for support commensurate with their population and resources. The recommended funding source from Maple Ridge is the Downtown Core Transition Fund which has been established to cover the cost of providing temporary venues for public use previously accommodated in the core area, and has the capacity to include this project. Alternatives: The District has set aside a $10,000 amount for special Millennium projects. The year 2000 Jazz and Blues Festival has incorporated a Millennium Village into its structure and has registered the event with the "Our Millennium" committee. Council could provide funding from this source. The only funding spent to date from this fund is $ 500 for the Trans Canada Trail Opening. The only disadvantage to this approach would be the lack of Millennium funding for other worthwhile projects which may be brought forward at a later date. ' R. W.

A review of the insurance requirements will now occur every three years, unless significant changes occur in the interim. Installation of a traffic signal pre-emption device at the intersection of 224 and Dewdney Trunk Road has proved to be a benefit in assisting the movement of emergency vehicles through the ever-increasing traffic congestion. This device allows approaching emergency vehicles to change the intersection light to green in their direction of travel, allowing the traffic to clear out of the way of responding police, fire, or ambulance vehicles. The Fire Department is pursuing additional installations at key intersections throughout our community. • Pay telephones have been installed outside of Fire Halls #2 and #3 as there are many times when these halls are unmanned. Signs have been mounted on the front doors of the fire halls indicating that if you are reporting an emergency, and no one is present at the fire hall, please use the pay phones located in front of the Fire Hall. • Last June, the Maple Ridge Fire Department entered into a one year partnership agreement with Human Resources Development Canada and the Port Coquitlam Fire Rescue Department, to initiate a job creation project that creates pre-incident plans of commercial and high occupancy buildings for responding emergency personal. This successful program has compiled plans on over 1000 addresses, and the remaining two months of this program will involve the final review of the completed plans. • Spatial planning requirements for our proposed Fire Hall #4 are nearing completion. {to be constructed in the Cottonwood/Albion area} This planning process has involved numerous meetings with the volunteer fire-fighters as well as site visits to other fire hall/community safety buildings in neighbouring communities. This process will ensure the development of a functional building that will serve the community well into the future.

RCMP Services is only at 19% - additi charges for retroactive wage increases will be included in the contract charges at a later date. Total Personnel costs are at 34% of annual budget - the unfavourable variance is due to legal costs with regards to labour relations matters. Building Services are at 72% of budget - provision for this unfavourable variance will be funded from Infrastructure Reserve. Inspection Services' positive variance is due to building permit revenue at 56% of annual budget.HaIf of this revenue is brought forward from 1999. Economic Development revenues at 90% due to timing, as business license revenue is recognized when billed at beginning of the year. 8 Corporation of the District of Maple Ridge COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE AGENDA May 29, 2000 12:30p.m. Council Chamber Chair: Acting Mayor DELEGATIONS/STAFF PRESENTATIONS - (10 minutes each) 12:30 p.m. 1.2 Maple Ridge Jazz & Blues Festival Society Presenter: Mr. Alphonse Seward 12:40 p.m. 1.2 Hill House - Heritage Advisory Recommendation to includeHill House in Community Heritage Register Mr. Joseph Robinsmith, Chair of . the Heritage Advisory Committee to provide information related to Item 902.

(b) Hill House Update It was reported that Council is seeking comments regarding Hill House being registered and how it fits into the range of heritage protection mechanisms. The Heritage Advisory Committee is to revisit this issue. Reference was made to the Committee's January meeting recommending that the owner include Hill House in the Register, however, he did not '401unteer to do it. Since registration of Hill House has been discussed with the proponent, but not rejected, the Committee suggested recommending to Council that Hill House be added to the Register. RECOMMENDATION ) That a Staff Report be forwarded to Council recommending that Jayman Master Builders have Hill House Included In the Community Heritage Register. CARRIED CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: His Worship Mayor A. Hogarth DATE: May 8, 2000 and Members of Council FILE NO: RZ129/98 CC: Jake Rudolph, GM, PW&DS Gay McMillan, Planning Technician FROM: Hentage Advisory Committee SUBJECT: Hill House COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION That Council require Jayman Master Builders to have Hill House included in the Community Heritage Register. BACKGROUND On March 28, 2000, Council directed the Planning Department to prepare a report identifying the mechanisms available to municipal governments regarding heritage preservation. Ill. DISCUSSION Pursuant with this direction, staff referred the request to the Heritage Advisory Committee. On April 20, 2000 the Heritage Advisory Committee discussed the range of heritage preservation tools provided for in the Municipal Act. Specifically, the Committee discussed three mechanisms: the Inventory; the Community Heritage Register, and Designation. The following section of this report provides a brief overview of these tools: Inventory The District of Maple Ridge Heritage Inventory, entitled Heritage Resources of Maple Ridge identifies the most significant heritage resources within the District. The inventory is not considered to be an "official" heritage list and does not provide for formal protection of a heritage property. The Hill House is currently identified in the Heritage Inventory. - Community Heritage Register A Community Heritage Register is an official list of heritage properties in a community. 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. Designation: The Municipal Act also provides for the designation of a heritage property. The designation of a property is done by municipal bylaw and is considered to be the ultimate in heritage protection. Properties designated as a heritage property are required to obtain a heritage alteration permit for exterior renovations, alterations, and demolitions. Exterior work to designated properties cannot commence without Council approval, and Council has the authority to permanently withhold approvals. The following chart provides a comparison of the range of the above noted heritage preservation tools: Comparison of Heritage Preservation Tools Inventory Register Designation Results in permanent legal protection? No No Yes Owner is eligible for Compensation pertaining to market value? No No Yes Is considered to be an "official list"? No Yes Yes Allows municipality to temporarily withhold approval or demolition? No Yes Yes Allows municipality to permanently withold approval or demolition? No No Yes Provides municipality with the authority to order Heritage Impact Assessment? No Yes Yes Requires a Public Hearing be held before exterior alteration to building? No No Yes Heritage protection affects Land Title? No No Yes Renovations are subject to relaxation of Building Code provisions? No Yes Yes Hill House On February 15, 2000, the Heritage Advisory Committee forwarded a memorandum to Council regarding Hill House. The memo included a recommendation amongst others that the owner of the development be required to have the Hill House included in the Community Heritage Register. During the April 20, 2000 meeting, the Committee gave this matter further consideration and re-affirmed its earlier recommendation. It is the Committee's belief that inclusion of Hill House in the Community Heritage Register will provide some protection to the building, and at the same time is not likely to be viewed as a hindrance to a future owner. t1l CLLk (7viit Joseph Robinsmith, Chair CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: His Worship Mayor A. Hogarth DATE: May 18, 2000 and Members of Council FILE NO: RZJ22/00 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W - PW & Dev SUBJECT: RZ122100 (20173/85/89 Dewdney Trunk Road and 120163/69175 202 St.) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Through researching a land use inquiry for property located at 20173 Dewdney Trunk Road, it was discovered that Schedule "A" to the current Zoning Bylaw had been inadvertently changed in 1997. The zoning of the six parcels changed from RS-1 to RS-3 as a consequence of a mapping error. Therefore it is recommended that the zoning be changed back to RS- 1. II RECOMMENDATION: That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw 5898-2000 be given first and second reading and that the rules of order be waived and that Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 5898-2000 be read a third time. III BACKGROUND: Applicant: OCP: Existing: Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Surrounding Uses: Existing Use of Property: Access: IV PLANNING ANALYSIS District of Maple Ridge Single Family Residential (18 upnh) RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Residential Residential Dewdney Trunk Road and 202 Street (i) Official- Community Plan The properties are designated Single Family Residential at 18 upnh on Schedule "B" of the Official Community Plan. Lots 1-5, Plan 82050 were created by subdivision in June 1989. These lots range from 689.5 m2 to 1113.3 m2. Rem. 2, Plan 12194 is 1067.6 m2. Together they result in a density of 11 upnh, well below the anticipated density of 18 upnh as prescribed in the Official Community Plan. -1- Zoning By way of a land use inquiry for property located at 20173 Dewdney Trunk Road, it was discovered that the above noted properties were incorrectly identified as RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) instead of RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) when the rezoning of adjacent land was mapped on Schedule "A" of the Zoning Bylaw. Accordingly, staff recommend that the corresponding correction be made to Schedule "A" of the Zoning Bylaw. Rezoning Process Section 890 (4) of the Municipal Act states the following: "A local government may waive the holding of a Public Hearing on a proposed bylaw if an Official Community Plan is in effect for the area that is subject to a proposed zoning bylaw, and the proposed bylaw is consistent with the plan." As noted above the existing density is less than the Official Community Plan designation of 18 upnh. Considering the circumstances that led to this application, it is recommended that a Public Hearing be waived. Letters have been sent to the owners advising themof the situation. V CONCLUSION: It is recommended that application R7J22/00 to rezone properties at 12 173/85/89 Dewdney Trunk Road and 12063169/75 202 Street from RS-3 to RS-1 be favorably considered.

This application was presented at Public Hearing May 19, 1998 and the Bylaws received 2 d and 3" reading on July 28, 1998. The applicant had been working towards resolving servicing issues for the site. The attached letter outlines the efforts that have been made to resolve these issues. A letter was sent out advising the applicant of the impending file closure in May of 1999, but the applicant did not apply to extend the application. The applicant was advised that staff would be taking forward a report to Council to close the file. V CONCLUSION: There have been no applications for an extension to this application under the Maple Ridge Development Procedures By-law No. 5879 –1999. It is therefore recommended that the bylaws be rescinded and the file closed. yt V Prepared by: Gay McMillan Planning Technician Approved by: PFpfrfyer, P Planning Appro e b. tJakè J.

V2X 6A9 Attn: Mr. Teriy Fryer Director of Current Planning Dear Sir: Re: RZ/28/97 240th Street North of 130th Avenue With regard to your letter of May 11, 2000 informing me of your intention to close the above rezoning file because you assume we are not interested in continuing with the application, please be aware of the following facts. Our group is interested in continuing with the application and has spent in excess of $100,000.00 in engineering and survey costs in furthering this application. The actions of the Municipality have made it impossible to proceed until certain issues are resolved. In order for the area-to develop a water reservoir must be provided. This was an item that was proposed in the Municipal budget for 2000 but has now been moved into next years proposed budget. In addition, resolution of a crossing of North Millionaire Creek at 133 w Avenue must be decided. This is the route proposed for both extension of services and access to the area under consideration. I understand this item is presently under discussion between the Municipality and other government agencies as it has been for a number of years. Without a guide plan for development from the Municipality that works it is impossible for us to continue moving forward. In addition, for design to continue to complete requirements for fourth and fmal reading a subdivision plan must be approved to allow for servicing to be located correctly. Although subciivisionapplication&oneach .parcel..were -submitted--a--number of years-ago- an approval for the layout has never been received, once again prohibiting further work by ourselves in moving this item forward. 2'r IL ti, j MAY 1 6 2C00 MAPLE !i±-_y_T I (2) Uncertainty of Municipal planning intentions and direction of growth, especially in view of the latest studies ordered by Council to review once again the development of Silver Valley prevents further investment at this time. With your policy of two rezoning extensions of one year each then automatic termination of the rezoning application, our chance of achieving final requirements for 0 reading in this time frame are nil. Although we have acted in good faith the lack of direction and action by the Municipality has frustrated and precluded any chance we had to complete this application. Cancellation will involve financial loss to the participants in this application. Yours truly Gary can cc.

Hogarth DATE: May 9, 2000 and Members of Council FILE NO: R7J62192 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W - PW & Dev SUBJECT: Final One Year Extension Application (22200 Block West of Haney Bypass) SUMMARY: Council granted a one year extension to the above noted application on April 27, 1999. The applicant has now applied for a final one year extension under Maple Ridge Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999. This application is for 120 apartment units under the RM-2 zone. Due to topographical and geotechnical concerns the development plan has changed to show approximately 50 townhouse units. Staff supports this application for an extension. RECOMMENDATION: That pursuant to Maple Ridge Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999, a one year. extension be granted for rezoning application RZ162192. BACKGROUND: Applicant: Operating Engineers Owner: Co-operators Life Insurance Company Legal Description: Parcel One, Op.!, LD37,D.L. 398, LMP 17221 OCP: Existing: ApartmentJConservation Proposed: Apartment/Conservation Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Access: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) vacant 50 townhouse units Haney Bypass The original application proposed the construction of three apartment buildings with a total of 120 residential suites. Site constraints necessitated a modification to this proposal and consequently the presentation at Public Hearing identified two buildings housing the 120 suites. Significant geotechnical constraints limit the developable area of the site. The original proposal would require considerable regrading and is significantly more difficult to accomplish given these restrictions. The townhouse form will require less grading to achieve. The number of units now proposed is approximately fifty, access to these will be situated on either side of a spine road. Staff have supported the latest proposal and the owner continues to pursue completion of the project. -1- In July 1996 the Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw that accompanied the rezoning was adopted. The following dates outline Council's consideration of the application and Bylaw 5017-1993: - The land use report (see attached) was considered on September 13, 1993; - First Reading was granted January 10, 1994; - Public Hearing was held January 31, 1994; - Second and Third reading was granted on February 7, 1994; - First extension was granted April 27,1999. The following are the outstanding Council conditions to be addressed prior to consideration of final reading: 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; Consolidation of the development site; An Amenity Restrictive Covenant must be registered at the Land Title Office; Statutory Right of Way plans and agreements must be registered at the Land Title Office. CONCLUSION: The applicant is pursuing completion of this application. Work completed to date confirms that the original development proposal is not viable and an alternative building form is more appropriate. Difficulty achieving a proper and economical means of access to the development remains the most difficult obstacle to completion. Staff supports an extension to allow more time to complete this application.

BERTA SUMMARY: An application has been received to rezone the above noted property to permit the construction of a 4 storey 120 unit apartment building. Staff are of the opinion that the impact this application will have on the surrounding neighbourhood is substantial and should be required to have a Public Information meeting prior to proceeding to a Public Hearing. RECOMMENDATION THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING RECOMMENDS THAT APPLICATION RZ/62/92 (FOR PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE 22200 BLOCK WEST OF THE HANEY BY- PASS) TO REZONE PROPERTY DESCRIBED IN HIS MEMO DATED AUGUST 3, 1993, FROM RS-1 (ONE FAMILY URBAN RESIDENTIAL) TO RM-2 (LOW DENSITY APARTMENT) BE FORWARDED TO PUBLIC HEARING NOTING THAT THE CONDITIONS TO BE MET PRIOR TO PUBLIC HEARING AND FINAL CONSIDERATION OF THE ZONE AMENDING BYLAW ARE ALSO DETAILED IN THAT MEMO AND THAT THE ACCOMPANYING OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDING BYLAW BE FORWARDED TO THE SAME PUBLIC HEARING.

SCHEDULE "A" AND. "H" OF THE OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN DESIGNATING THE SITE A DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AREA; A GEOTECHNICAL REPORT FOR THE SU1TA&LITY OF THE SITE FOR THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT; AN AMENITY RESTRICTIVE COVENANT MUST BE REGISTERED AT THE LAND TITLE OFFICE; CONSOUDATION OF THE SITE. Location: The site is located on the west side of the Haney By-Pass north of the22200 Block.of Calligan Avenue. Physical Descrir,tiort: The site consists of two separate parcels, one of which is a recently consolidated parcel made up of 10 lots and adjacent road rights-of-way. The site has severe topographic constraints to the north, west and south, but there is a relatively flat area in the centre. The site is currently covered with a mixed forest and areas deemed to be geotechnically sensitive are proposed to be retained as greenbelt. It will be necessary to place an amenity Restrictive Covenant on these areas to ensure their protection prior to final -3- consideration. It will also be necessary to consolidate the site prior to final consideration. As a result of the site analysis undertaken as part of this application, it became obvious that the lands to the north of' the site, owned by the Municipality (Lot 35) and the Provincial Government (Remainder of Lots 33 and 34), have no development potential because of topography and we recommend that these lands be redesignated in the Official Community Plan as Greenbelt. The site is zoned RS-1. It is designated Compact Housing (30 units per net hectare) and Greenbelt on Schedule "C" of the Official Community Plan. Since the proposal is for apartment buildings, it will be necessary to amend Schedule "C" to Apartment District and redefine the Greenbelt area to coincide with the geotechnical report which has been prepared for the site. Given the close proximity to the downtown core and given the information contained in the geotechnical report, it would be inappropriate to develop the site as a fee simple single family development as per the existing Official Community Plan designation. It is therefore recommended that the form of development proposed be supported and that the Official Community Plan be amended to respect this. It will also be necessary to include the site into a Development Permit Area to ensure the form and character of the development at the building permit stage. To the west of this proposal is a single family neighbourhood which developed in the mid 1980's under the RS-lb zone. To the south is an institutional use (Maple Ridge Treatment Centre) and two heritage buildings. The Fraser River and CPR tracks are approximately 80 metres south of the site. The site is semi-isolated from the neighbourhood on the west by a large ravine and public road right of way. The plan presented provides for access from the Haney Bypass. The proposal is for three separate buildings each four storeys in height with underground parking. The buildings have been situated in accordance with the findings of the geotechnical report. The proposal indicates 120 units. In discussions with the developers, they are examining the plan to determine if the site can accomodate an additional 10 inits, which would be within the density requirements of the proposed RM-2 zone. It has been noted that the required underground parking does not meet the bylaw requirements and the developer is proposing to have some of the required parking as surface parking. Given the location and lack of available on-street parking on the Haney Bypass, staff are of the opinion that the site should provide surface parking for -4- visitors, however the underground requirement of 1.5 spaces per unit should not be compromised. It will therefore be necessary to revise the site plan to reflect the final considerations of density and parking. Given the limited access to the site and the number of units proposed, it has been determined that a public walkway should be incorporated into..this development plan which will provide for pedestrian movement to Calligan Ave. and River Rd. The location of this walkway will be determined prior to final consideration of the Zone Amending Bylaw. Servicing Concerns: The Engineering Department have identified that the required services to support the development proposal do not exist to the site, including road and access works as well as service extensions. It will be necessary for the owner of the land to enter into a Rezoning Development Agreement and post security to do the works prior to final consideration of the Zone Amending Bylaw. The Fire and Building Departments have confirmed the necessity of alternate emergency access to the site. Also, it is obvious that the traffic generated from the site needs to be accommodated by a second access, not directly connected to the By-pass. As principal access is gained from the Haney Bypass, it will be necessary for the developer to obtain an access permit from the Ministry of Transportation and Highways. Since the property is within 800 m of the Lougheed Highway, it will also be necessary to receive approval of the bylaw under section 57 of the Highway Act prior to final consideration. Conclusion: Given the topographic constraints and soil conditions, the form of land development proposed under the current Official Community Plan designation for this site cannot be achieved. The proposed apartment form will allow for buildings to take advantage of the site constraints. As well, the increased density as proposed will compliment the downtown core. It is therefore recommended that this application be supported and forwarded to Public Hearing once a public information meeting has been held. p GP/bjs -5- CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: His Worshi.p Mayor A.

LOCATION: 22136 & 22150 DEWDNEY TRUNK ROAD FROM: RS4 (ONE FAMILY URBAN RESIDENTIAL) TO: RM-2 (MEDIUM DENSITY APARTMENT) SUMMARY: An application has been received to rezone the above described property to permit the construction of a 4 storey 46 unit aparthtent building. THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING RECOMMENDS THAT APPLICATION RZ/20193 (22136 AND 22150 DEWDNEY TRUNK ROAP) TO' REZONE PROPERTY DESCRIBED IN HIS MEMO DATED APRIL 22, 1993 FROM RS-1 (ONE FAMILY URBAN RESIDENTIAL) TO RM-2 (MEDIUM DENSITY APARTMENT) BE FORWARDED TO PUBLIC HEARING NOTING THAT THE CONDITIONS TO BE MET PRIOR TO PUBLIC HEARING AND PRIOR TO FINAL CONSIDERATION OF THE APPROPRIATE BYLAW ARE ALSO DETAILED IN THAT MEMO AND THAT THE ACCOMPANYING OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDING BYLAW BE FORWARDED TO THE SAME PUBLIC HEARING. CONDITIONS TO BE MET PRIOR TO PUBLIC HEARING: 1) FULLY DIMENSIONED DEVELOPMENT PLAN SHOWING THE FOLLOWING: BUILDING LOCATION; BUILDING ELEVATIONS; ACCESS/EGRESS LOCATION; PARKING LAYOUT; TYPICAL SUiTE PLAN; LANDSCAPE PLAN; ROAD DEDICATION; ALL DRAFTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE MAPLE RIDGE ZONING, PARKING AND SUBDIVISION BYLAWS. AND THAT PRIOR TO FINAL APPROVAL THE FOLLOWING MIJST BE COMPLETE: APPROVAL FROM THE MINISTRY OF TRANSPORTATION AND HIGHWAYS; ROAD DEDICATION OF FOR DEWDNEY TRUNK ROAD. CONSOLIDATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT SITE: Location: The site is located on the south side of Dewdney Trunk Road in the 22000 Block. Physical Description: The site is relatively flat and consists of two separate parcels each containing a single family dwelling. It will be necessary to remove the dwellings and consolidate the site prior to final consideration of the zone amending bylaw. District Context: The site is presently zoned RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential). It is designated Apartment District on Schedule "C" and Development Permit Area IV (17) on Schedules "A" and "H" of the Official Comniuiüty Plan. Neighbourhood Context: To the east of the site there is a relatively new three storey apartment building, and to the west a two storey Garden Apartment. The land to the south is designated Garden Apartment. Site Plan: The proposal is for a 4 storey apartment building with underground parking taking access from a driveway midway along the west property line., There will be 12 units in each of the first 3 storeys and 10 units on the fourth for a total of 48 two bedroom units. The main entrance will be from an internal courtyard located on the west side of the property. This area will provide some visitor parking and a landscaped area. Engineering Concerns: The Engineering Department have identified that all the services necessary to support this proposal exist to the site. They have also indicated that it will be necessary to dedicate 3 m road right of way along the Dewdney Trunk Road frontage. It has also been noted that a B.C. Telephone right of way passes through the site. This must be discharged prior to the issuance of a Building PermiL It will also be necessary to underground the utility services at the building permit stage. As the property is within 800 m of the Lougheed Highway it will be necessary to have the Ministry of Transportation and Highways approve the zone amending bylaw prior to final consideration. Cortdusion: The application is in compliance with the Official Community Plan. it is recommended that it be forwarded to Public Hearing. iqp - • • GP/bjs 3 is.a 1k Pdi 95* I 6Z1'7 NW /53/ Pd.A NW/357 5?90 il/SI, 73 I CP 3__1 275 In 3 I23, 10 12 VL ,1I72'1 PL 34 9 /2,42 1. -- /2,42 /2120 • NW6 La 0 N NW/J I •' 67IG6i__i Is Ii I 51 14891 I n.,V /1974 22 I?

Hogarth DATE: May 17, 2000 and Members of Council FILE NO: E02-203-004 FROM: Engineering ATTN: C of W - PW & Dev. SUBJECT: Contract No. E02-203-004 - 203 Roadworks into Industrial Park SUMMARY: The extension of 203 Street south across the CPR railway tracks, into the Industrial Park, is an important transportation link for the District. The project is funded through the approved 1999 and 2000 Capital Budgets. The work includes roadworks, traffic signals and the installation of an at-grade rail crossing. The rail crossing will be constructed by CPR. RECOMMENDATION: That Contract No. E02-203-004 - 203 Roadworks into the Maple Ridge Industrial Park be awarded to Aggressive Roadbuilders Ltd. and that this contract become binding on the District upon the signature of the Mayor and Municipal Clerk. BACKGROUND: The extension of 203 Street, south from Hánunond Road across the CPR railway tracks, is an important transportation link for the District. Currently, the only road into the Industrial Park is via Maple Meadows Way. This is a concern, given the possibility of an emergency situation blocking off access to or from the Industrial Park. The train derailment at Albion, in April of this year demonstrated the extent of damage and time delay that can result from such an incident. Construction of 203 Street will offer an important second access into the Industrial Park, and may also be reasonably expected to stimulate increased commercial and industrial development by providing greater mobility and access to the Industrial Park. Tender Analysis The request for tenders for Contract No. E02-203 -004 was advertised in the Journal of Commerce on March 22, 2000. Tenders were opened in public on April 18, 2000, at 1.00 PM. Six bids were received, as follows: Aggressive RoadbuildersLtd $63496851 Jack Cewe Ltd. . $678,166.54 Imperial Paving Ltd.. $700,363.20 Gemco Construction Ltd. $704,541.45 Strohmaiers Excavating Ltd. $806,083.20 Mission Contractors Ltd. $835,765.26 All proposals are exclusive of GST. An analysis of the documentation from Aggressive Roadbuilders shows that its tender is complete and complies with the tender requirements. qo7 Financial Analysis The estimated project costs are as follows: Design / Administration $ 51,000.00 Contract E02-203 -004 $ 634,968.50 CPR Crossing $412,500.00 Utility Relocations $ 28,493.00 Water Mains $ 160,038.50 GST $ 44.447.80 Total $ 1,331,447.80 Funding for this project is allocated from the following sources: DCCs' General Revenue Capital Works Reserve Water Utility Total $811,188.00 $ 181,425.00 $ 225,000.00 $ 161.352.00 $ 1,378,965.00 The District has previously used Aggressive Roadbuilders for roadwork projects within the District, with satisfactory results. It is recommended that the project be awarded to Aggressive Roadbuilders. As this is a significant project, the District will place a notice in the local newspapers to notif' the public regarding the construction schedule. In addition, information signs will be posted on the approaches to the construction zone.

FILE/DWC No SK0105 DATE: JULY 1999 CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: His Worship Mayor Al Hogarth DATE: May 19, 2000 and Members of Council FILE NO: E02-036-0005 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W - PW & D SUBJECT: TransLink Roads SUMMARY: In April, 1999 the Ministry of Transportation & Highways (MOTH) downloaded to the Municipality the responsibility of the section of Lougheed Highway from 222 Street to Kanaka Way and a small portion of River Road accessing the Albion Ferry. At the same time TransLink was formed and these sections of road became part of the regional transportation network with maintenance and capital funding provided by TransLink. The Municipality has been maintaining the electrical works and pavement markings on these sections of road since the downloading on April 1, 1999. Mainroad Contracting has an agreement with MOTH to provide the remainder of the maintenance works on these sections of highway, along with the other downloaded roads in the region. Their agreement expires on March 21, 2001. TransLink funding therefore currently goes to the Province and the District. Municipalities have now been approached as to their interest in renewing this agreement with Mainroad Contracting. The alternative is for individual municipalities to obtain all their available TransLink funds and manage all the maintenance themselves. Analysis indicates that the benefits obtained from immediate use of TransLirik's funds are superior to continuing with Mainroad Contracting beyond March 21, 2001. RECOMMENDATION: That the section of Lougheed Highway between 222 Street to Kanaka Way and the River Road access to the Albion Ferry be maintained through the direct use of TranLink's funds and that the District not participate in the Mainroad Contract beyond March 21,2001. BACKGROUND: Until April 1, 1999 Lougheed Highway between 222 Street and Kanaka Way and a portion of River Road were under Provincial jurisdiction. The Province contracted the maintenance of all its roads to Mainroad Contracting. Downloaded roads are now under Municipal jurisdiction. However, the maintenance has been grandfathered to the Ministry of Transportation and Highways (MOTH) through its contract with Mainroad Contracting. Mainroad's contract expires on March 21, 2001. or These sections of Lougheed and River Road became TransLink regional roads in April, 1999. As such the Municipality currently qualifies to receive $8,400 per kilometer to maintain these roads. It is understood that this will increase to $12,000 per km in 2001, the same time that Mainroad's contract expires. This amounts to about $169,000 annually. With the exception of electrical works, line painting and road sweeping, maintenance services on this section of road are administered by the Province through Mainroad's contract. In other words while some TransLink funding goes to the District, a large portion of the funding goes to the Province. Each municipality is now being asked if they wish this to continue or if they wish to take over management of all the maintenance and receive all of their available TransLink funds. A report was prepared for TransLink by the Major Road Technical Advisory Committee (MRTAC), which consists of municipal staff representatives. This report identified a number of concerns with the extension of Mainroad's contract, specifically: • Lack of opportunity for Municipal input into service levels • Lack of coordination between MOTH, TransLink, contractors and municipalities • Unit cost for the contract is higher per service level. In the existing Mainroad contract no distinction is made between downloaded roads and non- downloaded roads in terms of costs and standards. In other words the per kilometer cost is averaged over remaining provincial roads and the downloaded roads resulting in a higher unit cost to municipalities. In addition, municipalities with sections of road on which maintenance is straightforward may be subsidizing sections of road in other municipalities where items such as bridge deck maintenance is included. For Maple Ridge this means that in 199912000 the unit cost was about $2,400 higher per lane-km than for the actual service provided. The report concluded that these are advantages and disadvantages to extension of the contract. Advantages: • Additional time for municipalities and TransLink to identify longer term plan • Status quo at local level and postpones immediate capital requirements • Ease of management • Transparency to tax payer • Consistency of standards on downloaded roads • Minimal change to level of present service and standards • A cost savings of approximately $180/lane-km/year over existing contract Disadvantages: • Unit cost for the contract is high compared to the figures developed by MRTAC • May be paying for standards which were set for provincial roads • Less direct input in terms of maintenance and rehabilitation planning • Less direct involvement and communications in terms of operation -2- The MRTAC Report provides a number of recommendations to overcome the communications concerns and further analysis to try and reach parity of costs among municipalities. Significant work is therefore required to overcome the disadvantages listed above. These disadvantages currently demonstrate that some municipalities are currently not getting the "best bang for the available TransLink buck". This is particularly true for municipalities like Maple Ridge where the maintenance is straightforward without cost items such as bridge deck maintenance. The analysis concludes that at this time Maple Ridge would be better positioned not to accept the Mainroad Contract extension. Through annual direct funding of $169,000 from TransLink the municipality would have total control over the service levels, coordination of services and costs. Should Council concur with this approach the Municipality could tender the required contracts for this work. No additional equipment purchases or resources are anticipated to perform this work at this time. Prepared by:ai You, BSc. girector. of lngineering Operations Reviewed b .

Robertson, AICP, MCIP Chief Executive Officer FQ/esb -3- ITEM 3.4 LINK MEMORANDUM TO: Major Roads Technical Advisory Committee (MRTAC) FROM: Jamie Umpleby Chair, Maintenance Contract Extension Working Group DATE: April 10, 2000 RE: Road and Bridge Maintenance Contract Extension Proposal 1.0 Introduction This report summarizes the findings of the MRTAC Maintenance Contract Extension Working Group's discussions with the Ministry of Transportation and Highways (MoTH) regarding the extension of the Road and Bridge Maintenance Contract with Mainroad Contracting. 2.0 Background As part of the negotiations to set up TransLink, an arrangement was made that MoTH will continue to provide maintenance on the devolved MRN roads as part of the existing maintenance contract MoTh has with Mainroad Contracting which expires on March 14, 2001. There is no obligation to extend the contract on the devolved Major Roads by the municipalities or TransLink. In the fall of 1999, MoTH initiated negotiations with Mamroad regarding potential three one-year extensions to the existing five-year contract. A MRTAC working group was formed for the purpose of.exaininirg various issues related to potentially include the MRN in the contract extension. The working group consists of the following representatives: • JamieUmpleby, Sum y(Chair) • Craig Sinclair, Burnaby • Barry Davis, Burnaby • Pat Connolly, New Westminster • Eric Giliflan, Richmond • TransLink staff The working group had met with MoTH a number of times since September to discuss the terms and conditions of the proposed extension and the findings are documented in the following sections of this report. 015 3.0 Discussion The working group identified two issues that need to be addressed if the contract extension is to be considered for the MRN. One issue is the lack of opportunity for municipal input in setting service levels in the existing contract and the need to improve communication and coordination between the municipalities, the contractor, TransLink, and MoTH. It is important that any future contract extension provides for adequate municipal input in the area maintenance and rehabilitation planning, and greater coordination in terms of scheduling and execution of work, response to incidents, etc. Another key issue identified by the working group is cost. In the existing maintenance contract, no distinction is made between the provincial roads and Major Roads in terms of costs or standards. When TransLink was formed, the cost of the existing contract was simply prorated according to the number of lane kilometers in the MRN versus the provincial network. The resultant local share of the contract cost is $5,323,762 plus GST for the 1999/2000 fiscal year and $5,366,352 plus GST for the 2000/2001 fiscal year. The per lane-km unit cost for the maintenance contract is approximately $8,000. It should be noted that this cost covers some minor rehabilitation and bridge maintenance but does not include line-painting, electrical or signal maintenance. The working group identified a number of inequities in this cost calculation approach as outlined below: • There are currently a number of services (point duty, lane controls, etc.) being provided on Provincial roads which are being partially funded by municipalities and TransLink. • More bridge deck surface falls on the Provincial roads, however, the bridge deck maintenance costs were not separated out of the contract according to area within each network. • There is a difference in the costs to maintain different road types/standards (urban/rural). It is believed that the maintenance costs for urban cross section (a majority of the dovnloaded roads) is less than that for a rural section. Subsequently, MRTAC approved the principle that any extension to the current contract be based upon sharing of actual costs. MoTH was requested to provide a cost breakdown that differentiates between items such as: • Actual bridge deck area within each jurisdiction • Services such as point duty and wreckers provided to each jurisdiction • Plantation or landscape areas within each jurisdiction • Maintenance cost differences between urban and rural road cross sections • Administrative costs of the contract In response, MoTH identified revised cost estimates which reflect the cost of bridge deck and plantation maintenance as shown in Attachment 1. There have been no adjustments for point/wrecker duty or urban versus rural cross sections. 0 16 With respect to the pointlwrecker duty, the Ministry has stated that it is difficult to apportion out those costs. They estimate these costs at approximately $500,000 to $600,000 per year on the Provincial facilities. The Ministry currently administers the maintenance contract, on behalf of TransLink, and has offered to cover the 20% administration cost (approximately $3.5 million in total or $1.4 million to the MRN) in lieu of adjustments for the point duty/wreckers service. Attachment 1 shows that the actual lane-km cost for basic road maintenance (after removing bridge deck maintenance and plantation costs) is approximately $6,377/lane- km. This unit cost includes some rehabilitation components (estimated to be in the $1,500/lane-km range) but not line-painting or electrical/signal maintenance (estimated to be in the $2,000/lane-km range). This roughly translates to a net maintenance unit cost of approximately $7,000/lane-km using MRTAC's definition of maintenance and rehabilitation. When bridge deck maintenance and plantation are included, the overall average contract cost increases from $6,377 to $7,445/lane-km. However, due to the varying quantities of bridge deck and plantation areas within each municipality, actual municipal costs range from $6,377/lane-km to $9,674/lane-km. It should be noted that in early 2000, MoTH has already accepted the extension of the Mainroad contract that contains a cancellation clause if the tenus and conditions of the contract change substantially, such as if the road inventory in the contract is significantly reduced from the existing level. If the majority of the municipalities and TransLink choose not to extend the contract for the MRN portion, Morn has to re-tender the contract when it expires in March 2001. It should be noted that the extension contains an approximately $340,000 cost saving in comparison to the existing contract (for the provincial and MRN roads combined). 4.0 Conclusion The working group concluded that the decision whether to proceed with the extension on the MRN basically rests with the individual municipalities and TransLink. The decisions would depend on factors such as municipal policy about contracting out, ability to absorb the additional staffing and equipment requirements, as well as acceptance of the proposed package from Morn and Mainroad, etc. The proposed extension with MoTH has both advantages and disadvantages: Advantages: • Additional time for municipalities and Translink to identify longer term plan • Status quo at local level and postpones immediate capital requirements • Ease of management • Transparency to tax payer • Consistency of standards on downloaded roads • Minimal change to level of present service and standards • A cost savings of approximately $1 80/lane-km/year over existing contract 017 Disadvantages: • Unit cost for the contract is high compared to the figures developed by MRTAC • May be paying for standards which were set for provincial roads • Less direct input in terms of maintenance and rehabilitation planning • Less direct involvement and communications in terms of operation With respect to last two bullets, it is likely that the issues could be resolved by the development of policy/procedures on contract administration and liaison to ensure effective communications as well as opportunity for greater and earlier municipal input in developing annual maintenance plans. The policy should address issues such as: • contacts for all parties and reporting structure • procedures for making routine/emergency requests, and • procedures for the review of maintenance and rehabilitation programs by municipalities. In terms of addressing the cost issue, there are a number of options open to municipalities and TransLink such as: Remove plantation costs by having each municipality provide the service in lieu of the contractor. Apportion the actual-lane-km contract cost to each municipality and returning the remaining funds form the $12,000/lane-km to the respective municipality. Continue the current practice of levying an average lane-km charge to all municipalities with downloaded roads. 5.0 Recommendations The working group recOmmends that: i. MRTAC seek an expression of intent from each of the affected member municipalities with respect to the maintenance contract extension. Suggested wordings for a possible motion are: "Member municipalities are requested to provide a Council commitment by no later thwJfdy'4. 2000 as to whether or not they wish to participate in an )J 6—eleff.in of up to three years of the Road and Bridge Maintenance Contract with Mainroad Contracting." a.

CARRIED Delegation Mr. Trevor Wingrove, Municipal Clerk for the District of Maple Ridge, was in attendance and gave a brief explanation and overview of the District's Procedures Bylaw, Municipal Act, and Bill 88, and how this legislation affects the operation of committees. He explained that the Municipal Act is provincial legislation that identifies local governments responsibilities, and prescribes processes for addressing issues. He also explained the changes which were made for 1999 relating to open government, elections, campaign financing, taxes, etc. On question from the Committee, the Municipal Clerk advised that the Commissions are also covered by this legislation just the same as Committees. Reference was made to Section 9 of the Procedure Bylaw that all committee meetings be open to the public, and that any interested party may attend, but will be excluded from public meetings as outlined in Section 10 of the Bylaw. He expressed that this section is not too critical for Advisory Committees as they are only advisory in nature. The Municipal Clerk also referred to Part 9 of the Bylaw relating to Standing and Select Committees. Heritage Advisory Committee April 20, 2000 Page 3 On question from the Committee with respect to Section 50(c) of the Bylaw, the Municipal Clerk advised that Mayor and Council approve the committee's selection of members, and the responsibilities are delegated according to the Bylaw. On question from the Committee with respect to Section 55(a), the Municipal Clerk advised that all minutes will be going to Council through Committee of the Whole. While the Municipal Clerk was still in attendance, questions arose regarding Hill House. The Chairman reported that he spoke with Jayman's Master Builder, and eased the agent for the developer of his fears by reiterating what was discussed with the Planning Department. The Committee agreed that the original recommendation will stand with further information being forwarded to Council. The Clerk confirmed that Council requested additional information, and therefore, the Public Hearing would not be compromised. With respect to the archives issue, the Municipal Clerk informed the members of a relationship between business and community archives advising of a distinction to be drawn between the two, which are legislated with privacy land, legal, and labour issues. He further reported that there are documents available to the District of Maple Ridge, which would loan same to the community archives for access and research with no personal information being released. He further commented that a relationship between the two is necessary, but there has to be a clear distinction on how the records are handled. He added that the District of Maple Ridge has an archivist on staff, and would be advocates on behalf of this issue. It was reported that no space has been allocated for the archives, however, the Arts Council building may have space. The Municipal Clerk left the meeting. S. Business Arising from the Minutes (a) Draft Community Heritage Commission Bylaw A copy of the draft Bylaw was distributed and the Staff Liaison reported that section numbers have been changed since the implementation of Bill 88. Reference was made to Item (c) on page 1 establishing a Civic Properties Commission pursuant to Section 688 of the Municipal Act, which has since been repealed. The Committee was informed that the Civic Properties are managed through the Parks Department with some delegation to the Historical Society, and if this Committee was to assume responsibility, then this undertaking would fall under Heritage Advisory Committee April 20, 2000 Page 4 the Planning Department, which does not have the resources for managing such tasks. The Committee suggested some interaction between the Parks & Leisure Commission and this Committee. The Committee discussed the possibility of hosting a joint meeting once a year with the Citizens' Advisory Committee to talk about issues of interest to both Committees, or, perhaps going before the Parks & Leisure Services Commission as a delegation. The Committee agreed that the following revisions be made to the draft Bylaw: • Section 3.2(e) of the Commission Bylaw to be deleted. This item should be reviewed in June when Mr. Murray attends the meeting. > Section 3.2(d) needs to be explored more. • Section 3.4 the term 1 year should be changed to 2 years with similar wording to be added to the Commission as in the HAC Bylaw. ACTION REOUIRED ) Mrs. Carter to check with solicitors regarding SectIon 3.4, as existing terms may be recognized. • Section 4.1 reference wasmadeto the last sentence. • Section 51 the word "may" has been substituted for the word "will". • Section 5.1(b) "or community" to be added after the word "Council". • Section 5.2(b) this section also means setting up a heritage commission within a commission as a trust fund for the purpose of administering funds raised, and such monies would remain the property of HAC after year end (different from the budget allocated for the year). ACTION REOUIRED > Mrs. Carter to redraft Section 5.2(b) after confirming with solicitors regarding the Issue of funds; > Mrs. Carter to confirm restrictions, If any. • Section 6.6 to be deleted. Heritage Advisory Committee April 20, 2000 Page 5 • Sections 6.12, 6.13,, 6.14 were added as they, are in the existing bylaw and make reference to technical and secretarial support for the Commission. The Committee mentioned including a business plan budget to justify expenses. It was confirmed that the promotion of heritage, marketing issues, and visual presence at public events is covered under Section 5.2(a) of the Bylaw. (b) Hill House Update It was reported that Council is seeking comments regarding Hill House being registered and how it fits into the range of heritage protection mechanisms. The Heritage Advisory Committee is to revisit this issue. Reference was made to the Committee's January meeting recommending that the owner include Hill House in the Register, howóver, he did not volunteer to do it. Since registration of Hill House has been discussed with the proponent, but not rejected, the Committee suggested recommending to Council that Hill House be added to the Register. RECOMMENDATION > That a Staff Report be forwarded to Council recommending that Jayman Master Builders have Hill House Included In the Communfty Heritage Register. CARRIED Heritage Advisory Committee April 20, 2000 Page 6 6. New Business Brochure It was reported that the text is done and photos just need to be added. The size of the brochure was discussed and it was agreed to have the brochure printed on legal size paper as it had been done in the past. The Camera Club is not willing to do the pictures for the brochure due to too short of notice, however, the Chairman's wife has a digital camera and will have them on disk. Home show The Committee discussed integrating the Heritage Advisory Committee with Communities in Bloom. Museum Expansion It was reported that the Barnes family will not permit any expansion of the Museum on the site. It was further reported that two options are being considered in the Port Haney area. The Museum will be a new building containing community archives, administrative space, and providing a closer relationship between the Museum and Haney House.

Ken Wiesner Chief Administrative Officer Corporation of the District of Pitt Meadows 12007 Harris Road Pitt Meadows, BC V3Y 2B5 '- On behaff of the Ridge Meadows Arts & Culture Plan Implementation Committee I have been asked to write the Municipalities of Maple. Ridge and Pitt Meadows regarding the establishment of a Public Art Policy. We are requesting that funding be provided to engage the services of a Public Art Consultant to accomplish this task. We are confident that a joint policy serving both communities would be appropriate. As you are 'aware the Ridge Meadows Arts & Culture Policy and Plan was adopted by both city, councils in November of 1996. Policy D states that Council will develop a public arts policy based on the recommendations outlined in the plan. Details are outlined in strategy 2.3: (a) through (d). The time has come to set Public Art Policy as a priority. This is particularly important now as public art has the potential to become an integral component in the new facilities in both communities including the downtown core, the Pitt Meadows Recreation Centre and Sawyer's Landing. The Implementation Committee made an effort to initiate a public art work session for Planning Department Staff and Committee Members, but it was not successful as no municipal staff attended and the Committee recognized the need for a professional consultant to lead the group. It is clear that additional resources, both human and financial will be required to establish a Public Art Policy. We request that a fee of $6,000 be provided for a Public Art Consultant This fee could be divided equally between the two communities. We look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

While the meetings did not reach igreement on an agenda for the next round of WTO trade talks, discussions on the General Agreement on Trade in Services (OATS) will still take place over the next three years as part of the "built-in agenda" agreed to at the founding of the WTO in 1995.

Our analysis of WTO discussion documents raises concerns about the potential consequences for local government in Canada if current proposals are implemented. We have attached a paper that discusses a number of local government areas of impact in some detail. A few of the major areas of concern include: • the OATS proposal would set rules for ttade and investment in all services, including education. health, social services libraries, recreation and culture, architecture and engineering. sewer and waxer, construction, retail, and other sectors that fall wholly or in page within local government's jurisdiction. Many of these would not normally be considered as related to wade. • local goveinment regulation of planning, levelopsneut, business activities, environment, and public health and safety could be challenged if regulations arc seen to be "more burdensome than necessary to ensure the quality of the service." In other words, local regulations would be judged by their impact on ftdk, even though they may well serve other spmato purposes and are considered in the pubknleresz. nghcs to foreign corporations • Ilk, the fafled M$J, th. proposed a csblish a commerc1l presence ¶?3!1TJZdcounzries This would Include foreign owned hospitals. schools social service agencies, waxer corporations, solid to disposets and other service providers Including librades. • the broader government procurement rules (AG?) would: - bar local governments from giving preference to local contractors or from discriminating against fozegn corporations, even unintentionally; - conWel local governments to publish all nodees of proposId procurements with the WTQ; and - couel local governments to report and explain their procurement decisions to the w 5j These requkements would be excessively bdeasome for the local government sector in this country, given that It is predovninandy mak up of small to medium siaM governments that have few suff and no resources to dedicate to IbiMling bureaucratic requirements and defending against the inevitable legal battles that will ensue. • potential for Iqal challenges and federal-provincial strife under WTO agreements. challenges are made by ocher governments, not by investors as occurs under NAFTA. An example would be the recent European Utuoa complaint to the United Scares about legislation passed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. TM law restricted trade with Burua because of the: :owicry's civil rights violaiaoas. W. undsrstznd that once a federal government has signed a WTO agreement disc covers sub-national governments (i.e.. proviociaUstate and local). then the federal government must make the sub-national governments abide by the tern's of the agreement.

AZWkneft A Alliance ftr arts + culture IssuEs update The WTO presses ahead by Garry Neil Despite the failure of the Ministers to achieve a consensus in Seattle1 the WTO (World Trade Organization] is moving ahead with its plans. The so- called Thuilt-in' agenda of matters agreed in the Uruguay Round included an understanding to continue discussions on the General Agreement in Trade in Services (GATS) and Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (I1UPS). Both of these agreements and the ongoing discussion could have -enormous consequences for cultural policy. The WTO appears to be preparing for new negotiations on GATS. Speaking before a Mouse Committee on 8 February 2000 about the WTO, US Trade Representaxiie Charleñe Barshefsky state& "L.. we are developing proposdsJbrm wide range ofsectots where our compsniea hey strung COflitflErCWJ interests, including andiOVitN4seru.. udecommm. Our companies are poisd to beasnong the -y ben(wiañesfrom stronger commitments at the W70. Goods or services? The cultural Sector comprises individual artists who create works of all kinds; cultural producers who take certain works and transform them into films and television programs, books and rn2gp1ne, sound recordings and CDs, new media productions or stage presentations; distributors who sell them to buyers everywhere; exhibitors who show them an television, in cinemas or online and those who preserve them in museums, libraries and other institutions. For purposes of the WTO agreements, there is uncertainty about where these activities fail. For example, while the debate about the audiovisual sector revolves around the application of GATS, the 1947 General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) induded an exemption for domestic cinema screen quotas, implicit recognition that a movie is a gOOd.' While most artistic activity is a service, the end product may sometimes be considered a good? Several years ago, the US challenged the measures adopted by the Cinarl.an government to support CarAa's imivine industry. In its decision, the WTO trade panel found magazines to be a agoodo and Canadian and US magaz nes to be like goods. This was a critical part of thepanel's decision to strike down all of the Canadians' measures. TCChnO1Og adds to this uncertainty, as broadcasters and bookstores move to the Internet, telephone companies provide television services and digitally perfect music is doønloaded. Thus culture may be affected by developments in the telecom- m"ons field, or agreements that relate to electronic commerce. The challenge becomes, How do you carve culture out of the trade agreements, when it is so fundamental a part of hnmn society? Culture and the WTO ministerial statement In Seattle, there was no dispute about the parameters of new negotiations on Services. Article 28 of the $rar.vvinr being prepared for the Ministers' signatures states that broad negotiations would commence, and that ao service sector or mode of supply shall be excluded aprioñ' from these negotiations. The negotiations would proceed on a request.offee approach, menng the US would be free to seek IssuEs update: The WTO presses on 5 May 2000 Page 2 commitments from other countries in the cultural field. Further, that approach would be supplemented by 'other negotiating modalities applied on a horizontal or sectoral basis.' These parameters create significant concern for those interested in preserving cultural sovereignty and promoting cultural diversity. There would be noa priori exclusion of cultural services from the negotiations and, given the power of the global entertainment industry, led by large US companies adamant about rolling back cultural measures, it would be extraordinarily difficult to negotiate specific exclusions during the negotiating process. The agreement to consider a 'horizontal' approach raises the spectre that negotiations could result in rules that apply across all services, regardless of exclusions or the refusal of a country to make an 'offer' in a particular sector. This raises the possibility most feared by cultural advocates, that rules negotiated to regulate trade in traditional service sectors would be applied equally to the cultural sector. Preamble pays lip service to cultural identity and diversity Given the broad scope of the Services section in the Ministerial text, it would be critical to have some language recogni 1ng a cultural imperative The following statement appeared in Article 5: 'In a rapidbj changjng world, we owe it to all our citizens that the rjsten should allow them to pursue theiropponuniti6 and realize theiraspirations, including those pertaining to adtural identity and diversity, and to adapt to the challenges ofglobdizatkm and new technologies, This language is so weak negotiators from the EU considered it worthless and there was doubt about whether they would support it in the end. In its analysis, the CriALn Conference of the Arts stared the preamble language has 'all the legal weight of a Hallmark greeting card.' There is no doubt the language is weak, for a number of reasons: there is significantly no reference to the means by which citizens would be allowed to pursue their opportunities and realize their aspirations. The clause would have been more effective with the indusion of language such as, 'through public policy' or 'through appropriate measures'; the same dause also includes a reference that indigenous communities 'should benefit' from the trading system and acknowledges the 'important role of small and medium sized enterprises', thus reducing the cultural dimension to a minority consideration; the clause is contained in the preamble which is weaker than having it in the appropriate parts of the operative text; the text typically refers to 'Members', the 135 countries which constitute the WTO. In the cultural diversity language, there is no such reference and thus one interpretation is that Members would have no rights in this area, only their dtiw. Since the entire battle on the cultural front is about retaining the right of nations to implement and maintain policies in the cultural realm, this absence is important In the final analysis, while this language is flawed, it is better than the alternative, which would have been a compr.hve approach to the negotiation of a new Services' agreement, no exclusion for cultural services and no reference to cultural diversity and cultural identity. While the Ministers failed to agree to an overall final text, the sections significant for culture were fnallied and may yet bçcome operative and it is therefore important to undeftand them.O Thmnks to the Internationd Nmirkfor Cultural Dñ.vnity and its international coonlinator Gary Neilfor thitana S I MON Ir FRASER HEALTHMedical Health Officer Tel: (604) 918-7681 #400 - 4946 Canada Way, Burnaby, B.C.

V2X 6A9 Dear Mayor and Members of Council, Re Working Together to Protect the Health of the Residents and Workers of the Simon Fraser Health Region: Support for Smoke-free Environments Tobacco smoke poses a serious threat to the health of the people who live and work in the Simon Fraser Health Region. Reducing the terrible effect requires a wide variety of strategies. Key strategies include healthy public policies, which have both direct and indirect effects. Among the ripple effects isthat they help shift the societal norm from smoke-filled to smoke-free. The WCB secondhand smoke regulation and municipal nonsmoking bylaws are important examples of such healthy public policies. The Clean Air Coalition, consisting of the British Columbia Lung Association, Canadian Cancer Society and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. & Yukon, is working to promote smoke-free environments. Currently the Clean Air Coalition is seeking support from other key organizations and individuals. Specifically, they are seeking statements of support for smoke-free environments, which will be presented to the WCB as part of the public hearing process pertaining to the WCB's initiative to enhance the protection of workers from the dangers of secondhand tobacco smoke. I would appreciate it if Maple Ridge Council would review the attached material and consider adding its support to this important public health cause. Please contact me if you have any questions. Yours sincerely, Nadine Loewen, M.D., M.Ed., M.H.Sc. Medical Health Officer Attachments CleanAir COALITION OF B.C. April 27, 2000 We are writing to ask for your help with an important public health issue in British Columbia. Our three organizations, the Canadian Cancer Society British Columbia and Yukon Division, the B.C. Lung Association and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. & Yukon are partners in the Clean Air Coalition. Together we actively support smoke-free environments. Many large, credible research organizations have released studies showing the serious health effects caused by breathing in second-hand smoke both at home and in the workplace. In April of 1998, 85% of all workers in B.C. received the benefit of working in a smoke-free atmosphere by virtue of the occupational health and safety rules of the Workers' Compensation Board. At that time, under what is known as a "sunset clause", the remaining 15% of workplaces which included bars, restaurants, and long term residential facilities were given until January 1, 2000 to implement the regulation. On March 22, 2000 Madam Justice Stromberg-Stein of the Supreme Court of B.C. ruled the "sunset clause" null and void. The Court did not strike down the entire regulation. The effect of this was to leave workers in bars, restaurants and long term care with less protection against second-hand smoke than those employed elsewhere. The judge indicated that additional consultation should have taken place when the "sunset clause" was added. We expect that the WCB will commence additional consultation through a public hearing process soon. We, as organizations, support the WCB 'S initiative to protect the health and safety of workers and would like to publicly urge both individuals and associations to sign the attached certificate of support. These certificates will be presented to the panel as part of the public hearing process. In this way we will show the panel that there is a broad level of support in the community for regulations designed to promote good public health. It is through your support that we collectively can make a difference. Please sign the certificate and mail or fax it to the Clean Air Coalition office at (604) 7364063. Should you or your organization wish any information on this serious public health issue please call the Clean Air Coalition at 1-800-233-7148. cvw Scott McDonald, Bobbe Wood, Barbara Kaminsky, Executive Director.

Clerk Dear Sir: Re: School Site Acquisition Charges Further to our earlier correspondence, the Board of Trustees of School District No.42 has, as per Section 937.4(5) of the Municipal Act, passed the attached resolution regarding the matters set out in the Act with respect to a projection of the number of eligible development units, the number of students that will be added to the school district as a result of the projected eligible development units, and the number, location and size of school sites required to accommodate the students, and the approximate cost of those school sites. Section 937.4(6) requires that this resolution be considered by affected municipalities and that each municipality, by resolution, either accept the board's resolution of proposed eligible school sites, or reject the resolution indicating each proposed eligible school site re4uirement to which it objects, and the reasons for the objection. Your Council has received background material supporting the board's resolution, and we are hopeful that a resolution accepting the resolution will be passed. As you are aware, the board wishes to incorporate the information contained in the reso!ution in its Capital Plan submission to the Ministry of Education in June, and as a result, we request that Council consider the resolution at its earliest convenience.
