MEETING DECORUM
Council would like to remind all people present tonight that serious issues are decided at
Council meetings which affect many people's lives. Therefore, we ask that you act with
the appropriate decorum that a Council Meeting deserves. Commentary and
conversations by the public are distracting. Should anyone disrupt the Council Meeting in
any way, the meeting will be stopped and that person's behavior will be reprimanded.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Committee of the Whole
SUBJECT: Amendments to Smoking By-law No. 5495 - 1997
Purpose:
To amend Maple Ridge By-law No.. 5495 - 1997, to allow smoking in restaurants and liquor
outlets. Restaurants and liquor outlets may designate up to 30% of the floor space that is used by
the public as a smoking area provided that the smoking area is in a room structurally separated
from the non smoking area. Smoking will also be allowed in outdoor patio areas. All designated
smoking areas must meet the requirements of the Workers' Compensation Board.
Recommendation:
That Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Amending By-law No. 6058 - 2002 be read a first
and second time and that the Rules of Order be waived and Maple Ridge Smoking
Regulation Amending By-law No. 6058 - 2002 be read a third time.
Background:
Maple Ridge Bylaw No. 5495 - 1997, a bylaw regulating where people may smoke, required all
restaurants and liquor outlets to become 100% smoke free effective December 31, 2000. Council
directed staff to delay enforcement of the bylaw until such time that regulations of the Workers
Compensation Board were enacted and approved by the Provincial government. Workers'
Compensation Board regulations have been amended to allow restaurants and liquor outlets to
designate up to 45 % of the floor space that is used by the public as a smoking area provided that
the smoking area is in a room structurally separated from the non smoking area. Smoking will
also be allowed in outdoor patios.
At the Council meting of May 14, 2002, Council directed staff to prepare amendments to Maple
Ridge Smoking Bylaw No. 5495-1997 to permit up to 30% of the seating area in liquor outlets
and restaurants to be designated as a smoking area provided that the smoking area meets the
requirements of the Workers' Compensation Board.
Intergovernmental Implications:
Both the Simon Fraser Health Unit and Workers' Compensation Board will be advised of the
change to the bylaw. Both agencies have indicated a willingness to assist in the enforcement of
the by-law.
-
Financial Implications
Costs will be incurred by those restaurants and liquor outlets that choose to construct indoor
smoking rooms in order to meet the guidelines established by the Workers' Compensation
Board.
It is not anticipated that municipal by-law enforcement costs will increase as a result of the
amendment to the by-law.
Alternatives
Council may choose to not amend the bylaw and direct staff to enforce the 100% prohibition.
Summary
Staff have prepared amendments to Maple Ridge Smoking By-law 5495-1997 to allow
designated smoking areas in restaurants and liquor outlets. No more than 30% of the area used
by the public may be designated as a smoking area and all smoking areas must meet the
requirements of the Workers' Compensation Board.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Bylaws 6008-2002 and 60 13-2002 have been considered by Council and at Public Hearing and
subsequently granted 21x and 3rd reading. The applicant has requested that final reading be granted.
The purpose of the rezoning is to permit the construction of 34 homes using a bare land strata
subdivision to create individual strata lots under the RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) Zone.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6013-2002 and Maple Ridge
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6008 - 2002 be reconsidered and adopted.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
Council considered this rezonin application at a Public Hearing held on April 16, 2002. On May 14,
2002 Council granted 2 and 3 reading to Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw
No. 6013-2002 and Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6008-2002 with the stipulation that the
following conditions be addressed:
Approval from the Ministry of Transportation;
Registration of a Rezoning Development Agreement including the deposit of security as
outlined in the Agreement;
Amendment to Schedule "A" & "H" of the Official Community Plan;
Registration of a Private Cross Access Easement Agreement at the Land Title Office;
An acoustical report for sound attenuation in compliance with Central Mortgage and Housing
Corporation standards with respect to the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks; and
An arborist's report.
The following applies to the above:
The Ministry of Transportation approved the bylaw pursuant to Section 54(2) of the Highway Act
on the 13th Day of June 2002.
The registration of a Rezoning Development Agreement including the deposit of security as
outlined in the Agreement has been completed.
go ~
The adoption of Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw 60 13-2002, will amendment Schedules "A" and "H"
of the Official Community Plan.
The requirement to register the Private Cross Access Easement Agreement will be achieved
through the Bare Land Strata Subdivision. The applicant's lawyer has noted that the exact
location of the access can be better achieved at the time of subdivision and the Approving Officer
is required, under the Bare Land Strata Regulations to ensure access is provided to lands lying
beyond. It is anticipated that the Bare Land Strata Plan will be registered in the very near future.
An acoustical report has been submitted which states: "The measured 24 hour equivalent sound
level meets the CMHC criteria for normal residential construction. No special construction is
required for acoustic purposes."
An arborist' s report has been submitted and found to be acceptable.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that final reading be given to the bylaws.

Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 5950-2001
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Bylaw 5950-2001 has been considered by Council and at Public Hearing and subsequently granted 2d
and 3td reading. Final reading is now required. The purpose of the bylaw is to adopt the recent stream
mapping, completed to date, as part of the District's Official Community Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 5950-2001 be reconsidered and
adopted.
DISCUSSION:
Background Context:
Council considered this Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw at a Public Hearing held on June 18th,
2002. On June 25w, 2002, Council granted 2nd and 3jd reading to Maple Ridge Official Community Plan
Amending Bylaw No. 5950-2001 without any conditions.
In anticipation of the need for better stream mapping information the District of Maple Ridge initiated an
evaluation of existing stream mapping and inventory data in 1998 to determine the adequacy of the
information available for watercourse classification. This review, undertaken by Scott Resources Inc.,
identified that much of the stream inventory information available to the District was incomplete and that a
number of discrepancies existed in District watercourse base mapping.
In order to verify the location and condition of the over 450 kilometres of stream needed to address the
inadequacies in the available stream inventory, a phased mapping project involving the use of high end GPS
(Global Positioning Systems) was adopted by Council in the fall of 1999.
-. - Iheobjectives. of the.proj.ect.wereidentified. as. follows.: -
to provide accurate geographic locations for known fish bearing or supporting streams within Maple
Ridge in order to upgrade District watercourse base mapping;
to design a data dictionary that will standardize data items collected in the field and to provide collection
protocol for future inventory projects;
to develop a database on stream features and characteristics that will aid in the future sensitivity
classification of watercourses and the establishment of protection setbacks;
to upgrade Schedule "E" of the Official Community Plan;
to make available information on watercourse/environmental quality in more user-friendly format to
customers and the public; and
to produce a watercourse classification map that will assist in the development application review
process.
45
To date, 270 kilometres of stream (Phases 1 and 2) have been mapped in Maple Ridge:
CONCLUSION:
As no conditions have been placed on Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 5950-2001, it is
recommended that the bylaw be reconsidered and adopted.

SUBJECT: First Reading
Bylaw No. 6063-2002 and Bylaw No. 6062-2002
10683 & 10705 240 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On May 8, 2001 this application, to rezone the property from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to CD 1-93 (Amenity Residential District), was considered by Council under our
former land use reporting process (see attached land use report). Council elected not to
forward this application to a Public Hearing until the development plan reflected the street
patterns shown on the Cottonwood Guide Plan. That condition has now been met and it is
recommended that first reading be granted to Maple Ridge Official Community Plan
Amending Bylaw 6063-2002 and Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw 6062-2002.
During review, it was identified that additional conditions should be met prior to final reading,
along with those included in the original report. All these conditions are now provided with
this recommendation.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6063-2002 be read
a first time;
That, acknowledging that Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw
No. 6063-2002 has been considered in conjunction with the capital expenditure plan
and waste management plan, Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending
Bylaw No. 6063-2002 be forwarded to Public Hearing;
That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6062-2002 be read a first time and be
forwarded to Public Hearing; and
That the following terms and conditions be met prIor to final reading.
Amendment to Schedule "B" of the Official Community Plan;
A geotechnical report which addresses the suitability of the site for the
proposed development;
Road dedication as required;
Park dedication as required; and
A Comprehensive Plan of Development and site grading plan must be
registered at the Land Title Office.
903
DISCUSSION:
The land use report for this application was considered at the Council Meeting of May 8, 2001.
A copy of that report is attached. At that meeting, Council recommended that the application not
be forwarded to Public Hearing until a subdivision plan had been submitted that included a
connection that complied with the Cottonwood Guide Plan. The subdivision plan has since been
revised and a copy of the proposal is attached to this report.
Through the review of the subdivision plan it became evident that in order to achieve the
subdivision, considerable regrading of the site would be necessary that would require the
cooperation of the neighbouring property owner. As well, the resultant grades will only
accommodate specific building forms to fit the difficult terrain. It is therefore advisable that a
condition of zoning include provision of a comprehensive plan of development to ensure that the
building type and grades necessary to achieve the development are consistent at the time of
subdivision. Information has been received that confirms most of the conditions that will apply
to the comprehensive plan of development. Staff will be working with the applicant to finalize
the details prior to final reading. A further recommended condition of approval is review of the
design by a geotechnical engineer to ensure that all slopes on the site are stable as proposed.

Previous Applications: SD182/73, SD/20/84, RZ/39/96, SD/47/96
Project Description:
As identified in the original report for this application, there was concern that the plan did not
achieve the objectives contained in the Cottonwood Guide Plan for interconnection with other
neighbourhoods. This has been resolved and the proposal shows a road connection that will
provide an additional way to access the Kanaka Ridge development through to 240 Street,
thereby providing connectivity and improved emergency access into this neighbourhood.
Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The site is designated Single Family Residential (18 units per net hectare) on Schedule 'B' of the
Official Community Plan. The development plan is in compliance with the density designation,
however, it will be necessary to amend that Schedule 'B' to include an area on the west portion
of the site to Conservation to recognize a small watercourse. This area will be dedicated as Park
as a condition of zoning. This Conservation area includes a forested area that is beyond the
normal watercourse protection boundary but that will provide a benefit to the neighbourhood by
being retained as municipal parkland and effectively, an extension to Kanaka Creek Regional
Park. This forested area is considered too steep to develop and retention of the vegetation
contributes to long-term slope stability.
Zoning Bylaw:
The site will be zoned to CD-1-93 (Comprehensive Development) Zone. This will permit the
subdivision into lots not less than 371 metres square. This zone has been used extensively in the
Cottonwood area as it provides siting characteristics that generally afford greater flexibility in
dealing with the environmental constraints that are common in this area.

The site is included into Development Permit Area XXX. It will be necessary for Council to
approve a Development Permit that addresses the guidelines and objectives of Development
Permit Area XXX prior to any site clearing work taking place within 50 metres of the top of bank
of the watercourse.
-3-
Citizen/Customer Implications:
The development will provide part of an important link between existing and emerging
neighbourhoods that will accommodate greater pedestrian mobility and reduce the length
and number of local vehicle trips.
Interdepartmental Implications:
The Engineering Department will be required to reyiew details of the development design
during subdivision of the property.
Intergovernmental Issues:
Greater Vancouver Regional District
Subdivision servicing will include a drainage system that drains to the watercourse flOwing
north to Kanaka Creek Regional Park. The Greater Vancouver Regional District will be
consulted with respect to the impact this drainage may have on long-term erosion. Statutory
rights-of-way may be required over the drainage course to allow the District to maintain the
facility.
Local Government Act
An amendment to the Official Community Plan requires the local government to consult with
any affected parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined
in Section 882 of the Act. The amendment required for this application, to reflect the actual
boundary of a Conservation area, is considered to be minor in nature. It has been determined
that no additional consultation beyond existing procedures is required, including referrals to
the Board of the Regional District, the Council of an adjacent municipality, First Nations, the
School District or agencies of the Federal and Provincial governments.
The amendment has been reviewed in conjunction with the Financial plan/Capital plan and
the Waste Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to
have no impact.
Environmental Implications:
Parts of the properties have environmental value due to the existence of watercourses and
significant vegetation. These lands will be dedicated as park and therefore protected.
A
CONCLUSION:
The applicant has now provided a plan of development that identifies interconnection between
neighbourhoods and therefore respects the Cottonwood Guide Plan. The application is in
compliance with density designation of the Official Community Plan, however, an amendment to
the Conservation boundary is required to reflect the inclusion of lands that will be dedicated as
park with development of the site. Compliance with applicable sections of the Local
Government Act has been reviewed and recommendations made to Council. It is recommended
that this application be forwarded to Public Hearing and that first reading be granted to Maple
Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw 6063-2002 and Maple Ridge Zone Amending
Bylaw No. 6062-2002.

Previous Applications: SD 82/73, SD 20/84, RZ 39/96, SD 47/96
Planning Analysis:
In a previous application, the two subject properties coupled with Lot 1, Plan 11873 to
the south were proposed to be developed as a single unit. At that time the plan was to
grade all three properties together. This was based in part on maximizing development
yield, and the fact that the soils in the slope area were considered by the consulting
Engineer (agent) to be suitable for use as fill material on the low lying areas of the
proposed development site. This had the advantage of reducing costs associated with fill
removal and fill import if the properties were developed independently. Furthermore, by
grading the major slope element over the three properties, it permitted the construction of
-2-
a linking road through to Zeron Avenue, albeit at a steep grade (supported by the
Engineering Department).
This was consistent with the Cottonwood Guide Plan, supported by Council. More
specifically, the Guide Plan provided for a road linkage from Zeron Avenue through to
240th Street via these three properties. This was predicated on the closure of the original
Zeron Avenue! 240 Street connection which came as a result of 240th Street regrading
that radically changed road elevations and made the connection no longer possible. It
was also predicated on the principle of achieving interconnectivity in the urban fabric so
as to provide for suitable movement options, and a less fragmented relationship between
neighbourhoods (this being especially important for emergency vehicles).
As previously noted, the subject application concerns only two properties. The proposed
plan is to develop the site as a discrete residential enclave of 32 single-family residential
units with one access onto 240th Street. The proposed site plan does not provide for a
road connection south to Zeron Avenue. The applicant has indicated an opposition to the
construction of the road connection based on the difficulty resulting from the topography
and the financial burden in developing in isolation.
The challenges associated with development of the subject properties are recognized. As
such, staff continues to advocate that a development strategy for the subject properties
should not be done in isolation but should be coordinated with the property to the south.
This would facilitate a more suitable overall-grading plan that would provide a more
favourable site profile, and would be more cost effective. More importantly, as has been
demonstrated by the consulting Engineer in the previous application, road construction on
the side hill or slope area is achievable and is made more so by grading the entire slope
area as a single unit. The road connection is considered an essential linkage not only to
facilitate the objectives of the Guide Plan in view of the Zeron Avenue closing, but also
to provide improved neighbourhood interconnectivity and movement options.
Finally, development of isolated/ discrete residential enclaves such as that proposed is not
only less desirable from a social aspect but also a security aspect and emergency
response. Such subdivisions commonly have high percentages of two income
households. When this scenario occurs it translates into a lesser degree of street
surveillance by residents and a greater degree of anonymity for non-residents. This then
becomes a more of a significant chalien-ge-for-securit-y-purposes--The-an•t-i-th•e•si-s-of-t-hi-s-- -
situation is where a small residential enclave experiences greater traffic flows through
better street connectivity. In this case, the relative degree of anonymity is reduced due, to
the perception that the enclave is more exposed and greater degree security is thus
afforded.
-3-
Intergovernmental Issues:
It is expected that the subdivision servicing will include a drainage system that drains to
the watercourse that flows north through land owned by the Greater Vancouver Regional
District for Kanaka Creek Regional Park. The GVRD Parks Department should be
contacted to discuss any concerns that they might have. If any erosion mitigation works
are required in the watercourse , then the District might need a statutory right-of-way for
maintenance purposes.
The Ministry of Environment Fish & Wildlife Branch has provided comments on this site
some years ago. However, it would be prudent to receive any update on the two
watercourses on site based on current practice. The Water Management Branch would be
expected to beTiñ ivedwitaapplication for work in and about a watercourse at the
subdivision stage.
Environmental Implications:
There are two watercourses identified on
park dedication.
N/A
property. These will be protected through
Interdepartmental Implications:
The Engineering Department will have a significant degree of involvement particularly at
the subdivision stage where subdivision geometry will be a concern.
Financial Implications: N/A
Alternatives:
The are two principle approaches to the development of the two properties. Firstly, the
project could proceed utilizing a coordinated development strategy in conjunction with
the property to the south, and in accordance with the Planning objectives underlying the
Cottonwood Guide Plan and the general Planning principles for this area.
Secondly, the site could be developed without neighbourhood interconnection thus
creating an isolated or discrete residential enclave, as proposed by the applicant. The
_appii.can.thas-.statedL the difficul.ty-in-addressing-topographici_i.ss.uesin_isoiation. from the
property to the south. The applicant also points out that providing a portion of the
connecting road places a significant financial burden to his client. The applicant has
suggested that a lane, or the east side of the property could be build in an area less
influenced by topography. However, connection with Zeron Avenue is not shown.
Should a lane connection be possible vis-a-vis lot geometry on the parcel to the south, it
would be entirely inadequate for purposes of neighbourhood interconnectivity and
emergency access.

Summary:
The applicant is proposing to rezone two properties from RS-3 to CD-1-93 in order to
facilitate a 32 lot single family residential subdivision. The proposed site plan does
not achieve the objectives contained in the Cottonwood Guide Plan. Staff supports the
rezoning of the property. However staff also recommend that the neighbourhood
connectivity issue continue to be pursued. Therefore, it is recommended that the
application not be forwarded to Public Hearing until the connectivity issues is
resolved.

A Development Permit application has been submitted for 22645 & 22653 Dewdney Trunk Road
which will allow the construction of a 91 7m 2 commercial development. The subject site is in
Development Permit Area XIII that was established with a previous Development Permit that
recognized the need to address concerns particular to commercial development on this site. Prior to
issuance of a building permit, a Development Permit is required to insure that all the Development
Permit Area Guidelines have been met.
Jor
Project Description:
The subject site is on the north side of Dewdney Trunk Road west of 227th Street. There is a major
underground natural gas pipeline that crosses the development site from east to west just north of the
Dewdney Trunk Road right of way. The presence of this utility restricts any opportunity to develop
the site in a typical C-3 form (a zero front yard set back, parking to the rear) as structures cannot be
placed over this utility. As a result the Development Permit Area Objectives and Guidelines are
similar to Service Commercial or Highway use areas where parking is typically found at the front or
exterior side of the lot versus Town Centre Commercial areas where parking is either concealed or to
the rear of the site.
The building is proposed to be divided into four units, with one unit being provided with a pick up
window that is considered accessory to the proposed restaurant use of this unit. The pickup area is
designed as a two-window system (one for ordering and the second for pick up) eliminating the use of
a speaker order board system.
Planning Analysis:
The property is in Development Permit Area Xffl which has the following objectives:
• To facilitate orderly development of the areas through particular attention to the siting and
form of commercial buildings and areas for parking and storage.
• To buffer adjacent residential land uses to ensure compatibility.
• To ensure the character of buildings is appropriate to functions performed and present a
quality image to a highly visible streetfront
• To properly site buildings to address site characteristics and adjoining uses.
Development Permit Area Xffl Guidelines:
Building siting should ensure adequate circulation and safe access for highway oriented
commercial uses.
Two access/egress points are provided, one on Dewdney Trunk Road and the second on 227th Street.
A third egress point will be provided off the lane at the north west corner of the site. Pedestrian
access is provided off Dewdney Trunk Road and 227111 Street with pavement treatments designed to
indicate pedestrian routes through the parking areas.
2. Particular attention should be made to the image presented to the streetfront for the highly
visible spaces. Low pedestal mounted signs not exceeding 3.0 metres in total height.
The landscape plan reflects an interesting variety of plant materials and low concrete bollards
finished with stone to match the building architectural details. The trees and shrubs along Dewdney
Trunk Road are small growing varieties reflecting the height constraints to allow for aerial visibility
of the gas right of way for weekly inspections. Parking is to be provided in other than the front yard
in the C-3 Town Centre Commercial zone, however, due to the constraints of use over the gas right of
way, the building is located where parking would typically be provided. As a result the parking is
provided in a portion of the front yard (on 227th Street) with the balance located in the exterior side
yard (Dewdney Trunk Road).
A low pedestal mounted sign less than 3.Om in height is proposed for this site.
-2-
Adjacent residential uses should be adequately protected by significant landscaping or the
provision of screening or both. 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 designated or zoned for
residential use.
A landscape screen (2. Om high solid panel fence) in combination with a trellis structure is proposed
along the north property line adjacent to the existing residential use. Honeysuckle vines will be
planted and trained to grow through the trellis structure. An evergreen hedge (Yew) will be planted
on the development side of the landscape screen to provide additional height layers in this visual
separation. The building will provide a barrier to light sources located in the parking area south of
the building. No additional details of the lighting have been provided at this stage, but specific details
will be provided with the building permit application. The applicant did advise the Advisoi'y Design
Panel that there would not be signfi cant lighting or signage reflecting into the residential area, at the
rear (of the building) is wall wash, with down lighting proposed at the front. Further details
regarding site lighting were not provided but will be reviewed as part of the building permit stage.
The development security may be withheld to ensure compliance.
4. The character of highway commercial uses should be enhanced by landscaping of substantial
proportions around property lines particularly adjacent to residential development. Where
possible, native vegetation should be retained to enhance the landscape planting by providing
variety in maturity and scale.
There are no opportunities to retain any of the existing vegetation on this site, but the landscape
design reflects the need to supplement this loss with additional planting of materials to offer a variety
of scale.
Buildings will be sited to reflect orientation to adjacent uses, site limitations imposed by
natural features and accessibility to pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
The natural gas right of way creates a signficant limitation on the siting of buildings on this parcel.
The constraints on designs for this site are reflected in the Development Permit Guidelines and
Objectives for this area. The design addresses the need to identify pedestrian access and vehicular
areas.
This application was reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel meeting on June 6th, 2002, with the
following resolution:
d) Advisory Design Panel:
The Design Panel encouraged and supported the project with the following recommendations:
Address the pedestrian access to the site - particularly on the southeast and southwest corners
A revised plan was received indicating pedestrian access through the landscape area at both of these
locations.
2. Panel would like to see the north building face treated with the same form of materials as the
other three sides; with the intent of reducing the height and appearance of the masonry wall
A revised rear building elevation shows the extension of the roof line down to the adjacent eaves,
replacement of concrete block with stucco treatment to match other exterior walls, treatment of
painted block surfaces with graffiti resistant materials, painted exit doors to match other exterior
treatments.
-3-
Investigate way to reduce the potential of graffiti on the north wall.
Graffiti resistant materials are proposed by the Architect to treat surfaces on exterior north wall.
CONCLUSION:
Based on the development proposal meeting the Development Permit Area objectives and guidelines for
this site it is recommended that this development permit be supported. Prior to issuance of a building
permit the applicant will be required to provide Development Permit security representing 2 1/2% of the
construction value to• ure the conditions of this Development Permit are completed.

SUBJECT: Variance Permit
20482 123 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A Development Variance Permit application has been received in support of a subdivision application.
The applicant is requesting that the following conditions of the Maple Ridge Subdivision and
Development Servicing Bylaw be waived:
Conversion of overhead services to an existing house to underground facilities.
After reviewing the application, it is recommended that VP/007/02 be given favourable consideration.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Municipal Clerk be authorized to notify qualifying property owners that approval of
VPI007/02 respecting property located at 20482 123 Avenue will be considered by Council at the
August 27th, 2002 meeting.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context
Applicant: Reinhard W Schmidt
Owner: Reinhard W SchmidtiLinda D Schmidt
Legal Description: Lot 4, District Lot 241, Plan 22101
OCP Existing: Single Family Residential (18 units per net hectare)
Zoning Existing: RS-lb (One Family Urban (Medium
Density)Residential)
Surrounding Uses
North: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
South: RS-lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential)
East: RS-lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential)
West: RS-lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential)
Existing Use of Property: RS-lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential)
Previous Applications: RZ1007/02
Requested Variance: Waive the requirement to provide underground wiring to
all parcels in the subdivision. The existing house on the
remainder parcel is currently served with overhead
service.
Project Description:
A subdivision application is currently under review in which the applicant is proposing to create two
additional lots fronting on 122B Avenue with the remainder parcel and existing house fronting on
Avenue. A requirement of the Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw, Schedule
"A" is as follows:
"That parcels within a proposed subdivision or development shall be provided with services in
accordance with Schedule "A" and all highways within, or immediately adjacent to a proposed
subdivision or development shall be constructed in accordance with Schedule "A ".
Schedule "A" requires full urban services in the RS-lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density)Residential)
Zone, including underground wiring be provided to all parcels within a proposed subdivision.
The applicant is requesting that the requirement to convert the overhead service to underground wiring
for the existing house be waived to a future subdivision.
Planning Analysis:
The subject property is double fronting and is located between 123rd Avenue and 122B Avenue in the 20400
block. Council recently gave final reading to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6024-2002 which
rezoned the property to RS-lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density)Residential) zone. A subsequent
subdivision application was received, that would create two lots frontin* on 122B Avenue with the
remainder north portion, containing the existing house, fronting on 123' Avenue. The remainder north
portion has future subdivision potential into two lots if the existing house where to be removed. As a result,
the conversion of the existing overhead service to this house is not considered necessary at this time and will
occur in the future when redevelopment occurs.
Citizen/Customer Implications:
The applicant will incur additional costs to convert the existing house to receive underground wiring. As it
will be necessary to remove this house as a condition of the anticipated future subdivision, the conversion of
existing overhead wires at this time will not serve the objectives of the bylaw. The future subdivision will
require underground wires be provided to the anticipated two new lots fronting on 123 w Avenue.
Interdepartmental Implications:
The opportunity to achieve underground wiring will occur with the future new house construction. For this
reason, the Engineering Department is prepared to support the request to waive this requirement.
0 Alternatives:
The applicant would be required to convert the overhead service to the existing house to underground
facilities.
-2-
CONCLUSIONS:
Based on the future potential to subdivide the north portion of this parcel into two lots, with the subsequent
house removal, the need to convert the overhead wiring service to the existing house is considered
unnecessary. The objectives of the Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw will be
achieved when the north parcel is subdivided and new house construction occurs.

(Construction Standards)
Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development
Servicing Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule "B"
(Minimum Width Requirements)
c) Planning Analysis:
A 29 lot subdivision, located on the southern portion of a larger parent parcel, is currently under review.
The parcel is zoned RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential), RS-lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential) and CD-1-93 Amenity Residential. This Development Variance Permit would waive the
requirement to construct the 112 Avenue right-of way (on the northern boundary of the property) and
would waive the required minimum width for 237 0' Street from 18 metres to 15 metres in the area where
the 29 lot subdivision is proposed (southern portion of property).
112 Avenue Right-of-way
The Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw requires that any dedicated undeveloped highway
within or immediately adjacent to a proposed subdivision be constructed, in accordance with Schedule
"A". The 112 Avenue right-of-way, located on the northern portion of the subject site, is dedicated but
unconstructed. Due to topographical constraints, this undeveloped portion of the 112 Avenue right-of-
way is poorly suited to road construction. An Engineering Department report indicates that there is no
intention of having a road carriageway or other services in this right-of-way. The area is also part of a
proposed Cottonwood Recreational Access Corridor, and there may be future opportunities to
incorporate recreational trails.
Extension of 237 th Street
The Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw, Schedule "B" requires a minimum Urban Road
Standard of 18 metres. Because of its close proximity to Horseshoe Creek, the existing portion of
237th Street was built to a 15 metre width to help create a greater buffer between residential properties
and the creek. The Development Variance Permit would extend 237th Street into the subdivision at a
width of 15 metres and potentially offer an increased setback from Horseshoe Creek.
Requested Variance:
There are two requested variances to the Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw
No. 4800-1993:
Schedule "A" (Construction Standards)—To waive the requirement to construct 112 Avenue.
Schedule "B" (Minimum Width)—To reduce the Urban Road Standard width on 237 th Street from 18
metres to 15 metres.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications: N/A
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
The Engineering Department indicated support for the Development Variance Permit through their
Engineering Review at the Subdivision Stage.
-2-
a,
CONCLUSIONS:
Given the topographical constraints of the 112 Avenue alignment, this request to waive the requirement
to construct the unopened 112 Avenue right-of-way is supported. The request to vary the right-of-way
width of 237th Street, given the previously established 15 metre right-of-way width and the environmental
constraints caused by the close proximity of Horseshoe Creek, is also supported.

SUBJECT: Development Permit
20201 Lougheed Highway
(Safeway Gas Bar)
DATE: July 10, 2002
FILE NO: DP/057/01
ATTN: CoW
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This application was considered at the April 9, 2002 Council meeting and deferred as the result of design
issues relating to the proposed gas bar canopy and kiosk. The applicant submitted revised drawings on
July 2, 2002 (attached) for the proposed gas bar that incorporate design elements found on the existing
buildings on the site. As the new design plans appear to address Council's concerns, the application is
being referred back to Council for consideration. Other details and analysis of the proposal are outlined
in the attached report of March 25, 2002.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Municipal Clerk be authorized to sign and seal DP1057101 respecting property located at
20201 Lougheed Highway.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
The gas bar is to be located on the north side of the site, currently occupied by Safeway, fronting onto
Dewdney Trunk Road.
At the April 9, 2002 Council meeting, consideration of this application was deferred due to design
concerns raised by Council with regard to the impact of the gas bar in its prominent location as an entry
point into the municipality.
A number of design elements have now been included that reflect the design of the existing Safeway
store. These elements include the provision of a canopy roof with a similar slope and dormers and the
inclusion of a matching roof on the kiosk building. All materials and colours will also match those of the
Safeway buiidin.g.
The Advisory Design Panel reviewed and expressed overall support for the project at their January 10,
2002 meeting. Based on this support of the previous design and due to meeting scheduling constraints,
the revised design drawings have not been reviewed by the Panel.
CONCLUSIONS:
The applicant has incorporated new design elements into the gas bar which reflect the existing buildings
on the site and address the concerns expressed by Council. As the Advisory Design Panel indicated their
support for the project at the January 10, 2002 meeting the revised drawings of July 2, 2002 were not
referred to them. As there are no other outstanding issues identified with the application it is
recommended that Council consider and approve the development permit application.

PURPOSE:
Safeway is proposing to construct a "gas bar" to complement its store built in early 2000. The
application is made pursuant to Development Permit Area ifi which is intended to address the form and
character of commercial development.

N/A
The gas-bar consists of a 38 m2 kiosk with six fuelling stations all covered by a 392 m2 canopy structure.
PLANNING ANALYSIS:
Development Permit Area:
The property has two designations: Development Permit Area ifi (intended to control the form and
character of commercial development) and Development Permit Area XXXVII (intended to control the
form and character of service commercial development adjacent to properties designated in the Official
Community Plan for residential use). Development Permit Area XXXVII guidelines do not apply to this
site as section "E" states that "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." While the subject site is adjacent to residential use to the north, it does not "abut" it as the
Dewdney Trunk Road separates the land uses.
Development Permit Area ifi does apply to the property. The objectives of Development Permit Area ifi
are:
To facilitate orderly development of the areas through particular attention to siting and
form of commercial buildings and areas for parking and storage;
To ensure the area presents an appealing image of scale to identify low density
commercial uses;
Form of the development should accommodate safe traffic flow in this high use area and
provide adequate separation of public parking from adjacent uses; and
Aesthetic values of the location should be enhanced.
The guidelines of Development Permit Area ifi are:
Buildings and structures should be located to ensure safe traffic circulation and access
and adequate on-site parking. Public parking should be encouraged in smaller units to
avoid a monotonous appearance;
Aesthetic values along frontages and on-site ought to be enhanced by significant
landscaping on all property lines and around buildings. Street trees should be used to
provide the landscaping variety that would soften the character and scale of the area; and
Landscape planting and screening should be used to create interesting views and focal
pointsintoandoLutof the sitc for.pdestrians,passing drivers andbuildingtenant&onihe.
site or adjacent to it.
The proposed design program responds to the three guidelines as discussed below.
The proposed site plan appears to provide a reasonable degree of circulation within the
proposed gas-bar area as well as reasonable connectivity with the remainder of the
Safeway parking lot.
2. Landscaping was installed along the Dewdney Trunk Road frontage in conjunction with
the Safeway development. This would not be substantially altered other than the
addition of low semi-transparent fencing in front of the proposed gas-bar structure as per
Advisory Design Panel recommendation - (refer to Advisory Design Panel comments
below).
-2-
3. as above
The subject property has two frontages each with a different orientation, which warrant different
solutions in respect to form and character. The character of the Lougheed Highway frontage is that of a
highway oriented commercial strip where large signage, large print size, and simplistic architecture are
typical element employed in a conventional manner to attract the motorist. However, the Dewdney
Trunk Road frontage, which the gas bar is oriented to, has more of a community commercial character in
view of its juxtaposition to the residential and church institutional land uses along the north side of the
road. It is a concern that the form and character of the proposed gas bar and free standing sign structure
is more conducive to a highway commercial context than to a community commercial context based on
size, use of materials, and relationship to the street.
Advisory Design Panel:
The Advisory Design Panel reviewed the project on October 4, 2001 and resolved accordingly:
"That the Advisory Design Panel request that the applicant come back before the Panel with a
revised design program that provides a significantly greater degree of architectural and
landscape design treatment with attention paid to the site and neighbourhood context."
The Advisory Design Panel reviewed the project for a second time on January 10, 2002 and resolved
accordingly:
The Advisory Design Panel expressed overall support for this project with the following
comments:
. Architecture: the Panel was satisfied with the architectural changes;
• Landscaping: the Panel would like to see enhanced landscaping, and revised treatment of the
fence to include a vine or trellis treatment to "soften" the surface; and
• Signage: the Panel would like the applicant to consider a smaller signage structure, such as a
pedestal sign, which would be less obtrusive in the streetscape.
In response to the Design Panel resolution, the applicant advised as follows:
• Landscaping: vines will be planted along the fence line to "soften" the site edge per Design
Panel direction; and
• Signage: a 6 metre high free-standing sign with a 3.4 m2 sign can area will be used in favour
of a lower, smaller scale pedestal type of sign as advised by the Design Panel. The applicant
advises that the proposed sign structure is consistent with the Maple Ridge Sign Bylaw.
The Maple Ridge Sign Bylaw requires that, for gasoline service bars, a free standing sign
shall not exceed 6 metres in height and have an area not exceeding 7.2 m 2.
Parking:
The Parking Bylaw requires one parking stall per 30 m 2 gross floor area. The Safeway store in 5130 m 2
in area which translates into 171 required parking spaces. The Development Permit drawings indicate
that 298 parking stalls (or 127 extra parking stalls) were provided when the Safeway development
occurred. Construction of the proposed gas bar would require the removal of approximately 56 parking
stalls which would reduce the total number of stalls to 242 (or 71 stalls above the required minimum).

The gas bar itself would require one parking stall per 25 m2 , plus the building footprint of 38 m2 would
require two stalls. This is well within the minimum number of stalls required for the site.
The Ministry of Transportation issued an access permit for the proposed gas bar in August 2001.

FROM: MAYOR DRUMMOND Our File: 08.109
SUBJECT: GVTA (TRANSLINK) GOVERNANCE
PURPOSE: To respond to Council's request for the Mayor to prepare a report on G\TTA
(TransLink) accountability and governance.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. TRAT Council forward copies of this report to the TransLink GVTA Governance
Task Force and all municipal Councils of the GVRD.
) REPORT
1.0 BACKGROUND
The GVTA's (TransLink's) mandate is to plan and finance an integrated transportation
system that moves people and goods effectively and efficiently. The GVTA (TransLink)
Board is responsible for the management of an annual budget which is in excess of $620
million for 2002 related to the key program areas of public transit (bus, SeaBus, SkyTrain,
West Coast Express, and HandiDart), the regions Major Road Network, Transportation
Demand Management, AirCare and Intelligent Transportation Systems. As such the role and
responsibilities of a GVTA (TransLink) Director are significant. For comparative purposes
it should be noted that the estimated 2002 expenditures for the GVRD is about $360 million
or about 60% of the GVTA (TransLink) expenditures.
In 2000, the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) established a task force to review
the governance structure of the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority (GVTA) which
has become known as TransLink. At its regular meeting of 2000 October 30, Council
adopted and forwarded a report containing specific directions and recommendations to the
GVTA Governance Task Force for consideration of legislative change to the GVTA Act as
required. These specific recommendations related to the GVRD/GVTA (TransLink)
relationship and GVTA (TransLink) Board representation are contained within Attachment
"A" for reference.

Planning & Building Department
Re: G VTA (TransLink) Governance
2002June19 ............................. Page2
The original GVTA Task Force report which was adopted by the GVTA (TransLink) Board
on 2000 November 22 incorporated a number of the directions put forward by the City of
Burnaby. The GVTA Task Force recommended that: the number of municipal
representatives on the GVTA (TransLink) board be increased from 12 to 20'; each director
position have one alternate; that the three (3) voting Provincial members be reduced to one
(1) non-voting Provincial liaison position; and the members votes be weighted by population
in a way similar to that used by the GVRD Board.
Subsequent to the GVTA Task force report being ratified by both the GVTA (TransLink) Board,
discussions between the Province and the region were initiated concerning the Task Force's
recommendations. However, these discussions were suspended as a result of the Auditor
General's review of the GVTA, initiated in early 2001. The Auditor General ofBritish Columbia
released the findings of his review of governance and agreements originally made between the
Province and GVTA (TransLink) on 2001 August 09. The Auditor General's report takes a
direction contrary to the GVTA Governance Task Force and recommends consideration be given
to a number of changes including: that the size of the GVTA (TransLink) board should be
reviewed and perhaps reduced; eliminating the need for the Provincially appointed board
members; and possibly including non-elected members on the board.
In the fall of200 1, the GVTA (TransLink) conducted an extensive public consultation process
on sustainable funding options for the GVTA. During theses meetings on financing options,
municipal councils and various stakeholders expressed concern regarding the GVTA's current
governance structure. Subsequently, the GVTA (TransLink) Board requested that the Task
Force conduct a review of transportation governance and produce a proposal for the
consideration of the GVTA (TransLink) Board, the GVRD Board and the Province.
In response to this initiative the GVTA Task Force was reconvened in March, 2002 to
reconsider the governance issue, in view of the Auditor General's recommendations and the
information gathered during the GVTA's fall consultation process. Consultation with
municipalities is planned as part of the upcoming process to be undrtaken by the Task Force.
At its regular meeting of 2002 May 27, Council requested a report assessing the various
GVTA (TransLink) governance options. The purpose of this technical discussion report is
to present a comparative review of a full range of both appointed and elected governance
models which have been suggested by various groups for consideration by the GVTA
Governance Task Force.

3.0 BURNABY EVALUATION PROCESS
3.1 DECISION TREE
Figure 1 (attached), has been developed as a framework to allow the issues of
appointed, elected and the size of the GVTA Board to be evaluated.
Step "A" Evaluate all ofthe options which involve appointed board members. As
these options range in size from 13 to 20, this first step of the evaluation
will also yield a recommendation on the preferred size of the board.
Step "B" Evaluate the range of elected boards using the "preferred" size of the
Board identified in Step "A".
Step "C" Then compare the strongest appointed Board option from Step "A"
with the strongest elected Board option from Step"B" to recommend
the overall pr4èrred composition and size of the Board.
3.2 EVALUATION PRThCLPLES
To ensure that each step of the evaluation completed is sensitive to the concerns
which have been voiced in relation to the existing GVTA Board, the following
evaluation principles have been developed to serve as the major elements of the
evaluation criteria.
4 Accountability - The Board should be accountable to the regional electorate
and responsive to local Councils.
4 Local Representation - The composition, of the Board should include
representation from across the region.
4 Regional Land Use/Transportation Planning - Land use planning and
transportation planning should result in coordinated decision making and this
regional decision making should be in step with Provincial investments in the
Lower Mainland.
4 Operational Effectiveness - The Board should streamline not compound
jurisdictional complexity and remain efficient in the performance of their duties.
3.3 SUPPORTING EVALUATION CRITERIA AND THEIR MEASUREMENT
The detailed criteria used to support each principle and its measurement are listed in Table
1. It should be noted that the evaluation criteria can in some cases be in direct competition

4.0 EVALUATION OF THE OPTIONS
4.1 Step "A" - Appointed Board Options
The top half of Figure 2 (attached) outlines the characteristics of each appointed
board option.
+ The existing governance option uses 15 Directors (12 municipal
representatives and 3 Provincial representatives) which results in a "sub-
regional" level of representation (larger municipalities have direct
representation while smaller municipalities have indirect representation).
Burnaby, in particular will have a representative on the Board approximately
four out of every five years. Currently the Directors are appointed by the
GVRD Board and membership is limited to GVTA Board of Directors with
no alternates. Currently Director voting is not weighted by population
although the municipalities with largest population currently have more than
one Director (i.e. Vancouver and Surrey). This governance structure presents
a number of challenges including:
small municipalities have no direct representation;
" public acceptance of this structure is low;
ZI it is not responsive to local issues;
size of voice or votes is not weighted by population;
moderate degree of policy interaction between GVRD and GVTA;
' with Provincial seats vacant there is little policy and implementation
coordination between GVRD/GVTA and the Province;
" the public is confused by the current roles, responsibilities and
reporting relationships;
there is some public frustration with the lack of direct accountability
of the GVTA Directors; and
°' limited membership to the currentGVTA Board (GVRD Directors or
Mayors) means a heavy workload for these individuals.
+ The "smaller" governance option put forward by the Auditor General
proposes a reduction in the number of Directors and the elimination of the

elected representatives but alternates would likely not be permitted. Voting

option would like ly increase the operational effecti veness of the G 7'A Bow-cl
at the expense of regional and local accountability severely decrease or
eliminate local representation and potentially disconnect land use and
transportation planning.
+ The "modified" governance option originally proposed by the City ofBurnaby
in the fall of 2000, proposed the number of municipal Directors be increased
from 12 to 13 representatives and distributed by population. In the "modified"
option the Provincial Directors would also be eliminated. Directors would be
directly appointed by their Councils and Directors would be limited to
Councillors from their representative municipality. Votes of the Directors
would be weighted by population and potentially other factors including growth
concentration area, transit service hours and lane km's ofMajor Road Network
(MRN). As shown in Figure 2 (attached), this "inod/Ied" option would
result in enhancedsub-regional representation when compared to the existing
GVTA Board The degree ofpolicy and implementation interaction between
G T'RD and GVTA would also be strengthenedthrough increased local elected
representation on the GVTA Board Directors could be dedicated to GT'TA
Board instead of being strained by serving "double duty" on both Boards.
• The "larger" option goes one step further than the "modified" option and
increases the number of municipal Directors to 20 and retains one Provincial
non-voting liaison Director. Directors would be directly appointed by their
Councils and members would be limited to GVRD Directors, Mayors or
alternates). Burnaby would be guaranteed a permanent Director under this
option. Votes of the Directors would be weighted by population resulting in
102 votes being cast by the 20 voting Directors. As shown in Figure 2

Re: G VTA (TransLink) Governance
2002June19 ............................ Page8
Overall the benefits associated with increased accountability and increased local
representation of the larger GVTA Board options ("modified' and "larger") appear to
significantly out weight the benefit of either the "existing" option or the smaller"
option put forward by the Auditor General. On balance the impact of the Board
becoming more cumbersome as a function ofbecoming "larger" should be outweighed
by the additional benefits ofincreased accountability through a Board which increases
public acceptance bvvirtue ofits being similar to the structure ofthe GVRD Board and
increases direct municipal representation. Therefore it is recommended that the GVTA
Board size be increased to 20 municipal representatives and that the "larger" option be
brought forward to be compared with the strongest elected board in Step "C" of the
evaluation. Moreover. it is also recommended that the "larger" Board option expand
the pool of potential Directors to include all Councillors from their representative
municipality to allow for dedicated GVTA Directors instead ofDirectors being strained
under the "double duty" of serving on both the GVTA Board and the GVRD Board,
4.2 Step "B" - Elected Board Options
Based on the evaluation undertaken in Step "A" above, all elected Board options
presented in Figure 3 (attached) have the same increased size of 20 Directors. This
woUld result in representation being at the municipal level with Burnaby securing a
permanent Director on the GVTA Board in all elected options, with the potential
exception of the "Council-of-Councils" option. Voting would be weighted by
population in all elected options with consideration being given to other factors as
well (growth concentration area, transit service hours and lane km's of Major Road
Network (MRN)).
• The "dual-duty" option would see GVTA Directors elected at the time of
• each municipal election. The Mayor in each representative municipality
would automatically be appointed to the GVTA Board. In this option the
members of the GVTA Board would elect GVTA Chair. As shown in Figure
3 (attached), this "dual-duty" option would likely increa.ve the local
representation on the C VTA Board and the regional land use planning /
tra11.portatio1i planning Coordiflatio/I In.' the C VTA Board and may
marginally increase the ease of understanding of the roles on the GVTA
Board by the public.
• The "Council-of-Councils" option would see Directors and the Chair
appointed annually by a caucus of elected officials. As shown in Figure 3
(attached), this option has the potential to decrease the amount of direct
local representation on the Board and there is the risk that Burnahy may
have no representative among the Direciorsekctedbcthincii-qf-(oii.ndv_. - ---- This could result in di.snneci between local views and regional decisi ons

made by the GVTA Board. Due to this potential pit-fall combined with no
other signJIcant benefit being idenqjIed over other elected options, it is
recommended that the 'coundil-of-councils' option be excluded from
further consideration.
+ The "designated municipal representative" option would see the electorate
designate which successftil municipal candidate should be their representative
GVTA Director. The GVTA Chair would then in turn be elected by the
GVTA Directors. As shown in Figure 3 (attached), this opt/oh would ôfftr
the electorate increased accountability as they would he electing their G V7A
Director. This in turn has the potential to increase local representation,
voter acceptance and their ease of understanding the roles and
responsibilities of GVTA Director.
+ The "directly elected municipal representative" option would see the
electorate vote for their GVTA Director from a separate ballot of candidates
at the time of each municipal election. The GVTA Chair would then in turn
be elected by the GVTA Directors. As shown in Figure 3 (attached), this
option has the risk of there being a complete disconnect between Council
desires and the actions taken on behalf of the niuniczvaiity by the directly
elected G VTA Director from the same jurisdiction. Moreover, there is a
greatpotentiaifor a sigwjicant divergency in regional land use planning and
transportation planning with the increased independence afforded to the
directly elected GVTA Director.
Both the "designated municipal representative" option and the "directly elected
municipal representative" option increase the amount of accountability over the
"dual-duty" option as the electorate now casts a vote for their preferred GVTA
Director at the time of municipal elections. The "designated municipal
representative" offers all of the additional benefits of the "directly elected municipal
representative" in increased accountability and increased local representation while
still remaining linked to Burnaby Council. For this reason the "designated municipal
_jpresentative" pption offers superior_lncal_accountability_andsu.er-i.or--l.a.nd----
use/transportation planning coordination and therefore is recommended as the
strongest elected GVTA Board option.
4.3 Step "C" - Best Elected Board Option versus Best Appointed Board Option
As shown in Figure 4 (attached) the strongest appointed Board option ("larger" GVTA
Board) and the strongest elected option ("designated municipal representative") have
been advanced to this stage of the assessment for a comparison in pairs. Theprimary
differencebetweenthesetwooptionsisthatthe"larger"appointedBoardoption
112
Planning & Building Department
Re: G VTA (TransLink) Governance
2002 June 19 ...........................Page 10
recommended by the GVTA Task Force would appear to offer stronger coordination
between land use and transportation planning while the "designated municipal
represented" elected Board option would appear to offer greater operational
effectiveness. Moreover, the "larer"appointed Board Option would ensure that the
individual selected by Council as the municipalities GVTA Director has the reguisite
knowledge, expertise, interest and availability to fulfill the responsibilities of this role.
Therefore, the "larger" appointed Board option is being recommended as the strongest
overall GVTA governance option of the eight reviewed in detail.
There is also the potential for a hybrid option which would use a combination of both
appointed and elected representatives. This option could involve 19 Directors with
14 Directors being appointed (13 municipal appointments by their respective
Councils and one (1) non-voting Provincial liaison) and five (5) Directors being
elected at large at the time of municipal elections. The Chair would be elected by the
Directors. The voting of the Directors could be weighted by population and
potentially other factors including growth concentration area, transit service hours
and lane km's of Major Road Network (MRN). The benefits of the hybrid
appointed/elected Board option would be a blend of the appointed and elected
options. The Directors appointed by their respective niunicipaiities would be
responsive to local issues and offer strong coordination between land use and
transportation planning. While the Directors elected at large would benefit the
Board by expanding the pooi ofpotential Directors to broaden the skills, expertise
and experience of the Board, reducing the potential/or Directors to act in the best
interest of the/i' nnmiczvality rather than in the best interest of the GVTA and
reducing the amount o,f turnover in the Board. Moreover, the Directors elected at
large would potentiahv increase the accountability and public acceptance of the
Board. Directors could be dedicated to the GVTA Board instead of being strained
by serving "double duty" on both Boards. Although not explored in detail within
this report, the "appointed/elected" Board option is worthy of further consideration
and it is recommended that this option be advanced in parallel with the "larger"
appointed Board option to the GVTA Task Force for their review of feasibility and
advisability as GVTA governance options.
5.0 CONCLUSION
This technical discussion paper was prepared for the benefit of Council in advance of the
initial meetings called. by the Task Force in June of 2002 to identify the benefits and
challenges associated with the current GVTA governance structure. A number of these
benefits and challenges have been identified in Section 4.1 of this report. The preliminary
recommendation based on the exploration of the options presented in this report is that both
the "larger" appointed Board recommended by the GVTA Task Forceapd the
"appointed/elected" Board option be advanced to the GVTA Task Force for their review of
113
Planning &BuiIdingDepartmert
Re. GVTA (TransLink) Governance
2002 June 19 ...........................Page 11
feasibility and advisability as GVTA governance options. Recognizing that the Task Force
has yet to develop their own set of options and analysis of these options, staff, are
recommending that Council reserve its final recommendation to the Task Force at this time.
Once the stakeholder meetings have been completed, staff intend to develop a final report
for the consideration of Council in the Fall of 2002, which will include reference to the
additional material on options developed by the Task Force, as a final submission to the Task
Force.

Key Recommendations from the City of Burnabv Submission
to the GVTA Governance Task Force
adopted by Council 2000 October 30
GVRD/GVJ'A (TransLink) Relationship
• the intended relationship between the GVRD and GVTA (TransLink) Boards as prescribed
in the legislation is generally being achieved, while recognizing that local land use authority
(within an approved regional context) is a fundamental premise;
• notwithstanding the above and without encouraging further growth in government and
bureaucracy, the Task Force should identify specific ways to help improve and reinforce the
two agency's review, promotion and implementation of the objectives of the Livable Region
Strategic Plan; and
• the GVRD and GVTA (TransLink) should closely cooperate in the upcoming review of the
Livable Region Strategic Plan so there is common agreement and understanding on the
directions underlying new strategic growth management and related transportation policies.
GVTA (TransLink) Board Representation
• the issue of representation on the GVTA (TransLink) Board needs to be opened to provide
for major municipalities (including the City of Bumaby) to have permanent representation
on the Board;
• the criteria for representation on the Board should be altered to provide for a population
based system (e.g. one seat for every 150,000) or a combination of criteria based on
population, geographic location within the Growth Concentration Area, and degree of transit
ridership and designated lane kilometres within the Major Road network;
• the necessary amendment should be made to provide for the designation of GVTA
(TransLink). the local jurisdiction(s) that would enable -Councillors
currently not on the GVRD Board to be eligible for GVTA (TransLink) Board membership;
and
• Provincial membership on the GVTA (TransLink) Board should be removed allowing for
additional municipal representation and to avoid a possible conflict of interest when the
Board is negotiating sensitive matters with the Province.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am writing to you about the massive disruption of traffic that occurred for the citizens of Maple
Ridge when the Pitt River Bridge became nonfunctional for an extended period of time in the
middle of a busy business day. I have lived in Maple Ridge since 1996, and this is the second
occasion in which my family has been greatly inconvenienced by the dysflmctional Pitt River
Bridge.
On the particular day in question I was expected in the operating room at the Royal Colurnbian
Hospital. I advised them of the delay and arrangements were made to delay the patient's care for
a few hours until I arrived. Many of the personnel working at RCH live in Maple Ridge and
depend on reliable, albeit slow, passage to work.
It was obvious from the size of the traffic jam that extended both ways from the Pitt River Ridge
back to the center of Port Coquitlam and the center of Maple Ridge that many citizens lives were
disrupted without warning. I decided to place a call to the city office that day and was put in
touch with Mr. Wood in the traffic department. In due course he advised that I should write this
letter to you in City Governmetit.
It is my opinion that the Pitt River Bridge should not be opened during daytime hours because it
is not reliable. This bridge should only be opened to accommodate boat traffic on the river in the
middle of the night in order not to disrupt the daily lives of the citizens of Maple Ridge.
I understand that the operation of the bridge is the responsibility of the Department of Highways.
I request the City Council to undertake negotiations with them in order to organize bridge
openings only late at night.
772..,-
I would be glad to speak to this issue personally at a council meeting if it was felt that my
personal testimony would assist in achieving the above goal.
Sincerely,
R. Hayden, M.D.
