Checked by: ______________ Date: Z), 0201 CORPORATION OF THE MAPLE RIDGE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: Her Worship Mayor Kathy Morse DATE: July 27, 2004 and Members of Council FILE NO: FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Council SUBJECT: Elector Approval of Maple Ridge Downtown Core Facilities Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 6246 - 2004 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: A total of 48 elector response forms were received by the Municipal Clerk by the July 23, 2004 deadline. Council is therefore in a position to adopt Maple Ridge Downtown Core Facilities Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 6246 - 2004 and enter into the liabilities and indemnity agreement. RECOMMENDATION: That Maple Ridge Downtown Core Facilities Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 6246-2004 be adopted, and further, That approval to incur the landlord's liabilities under existing leases of portions of the Maple Ridge Business Centre be considered at a future date, and further, That approval to enter into an Environmental Indemnity Agreement which will indemnify The Toronto Dominion (TD) Bank for environmental claims against it be considered at a future date. DISCUSSION: Council on June 14, 2004 reviewed a staff report dated June 10, 2004 and approved the following resolutions: That the approval of the electors shall be sought in relation to the Loan Authorization Bylaw and the Liabilities; That an alternate approval process shall be provided in relation to the Loan Authorization Bylaw and the Liabilities; That the Municipal Clerk is authorized to publish, in accordance with the Community Charter, the alternate approval process notice attached as Appendix 1 to the staff report dated June 10, 2004 and titled "Downtown Core Alternative Approval Process" That elector responses shall be in the form set out in Appendix 2 to the staff report dated June 10, 2004 and titled "Downtown Core Alternative Approval Process" That the deadline for the submission of elector response forms shall be 4:00 p.m. on July 23, 2004. That a fair determination of the total number of electors of the District of Maple Ridge is 54,812. Page 1 7. That the staff report dated June 10, 2004 and titled "Downtown Core Alternative Approval Process", which contains the basis on which the determination of the total number of electors of the District of Maple Ridge to which the approval process applies shall be made available to the public on request. As Council is aware the District has, through the alternative approval process, sought approval of: Maple Ridge Downtown Core Facilities Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 6246 - 2004 which authorizes the District to borrow up to $49.1 million for the purpose of lending these funds to Maple Ridge Municipal Holdings Ltd. (MRMH) for its acquisition of the facilities approval to incur the landlord's liabilities under existing leases of portions of the Maple Ridge Business Centre approval to enter into an Environmental Indemnity Agreement, having a perpetual term, which will indemnify The Toronto Dominion (TD) Bank for environmental claims against it The notice, prepared under section 86 (2) of the Community Charter, was published in the June 18, 2004 edition of the Times newspaper. From that date, the elector response forms were available at Municipal Hall, the Leisure Centre, the ACT, the Library and on the District's website. The notice was also published in the June 19 edition of the News and the June 22, 2004 edition of the Times newspaper. Respecting these dates and the Charter provisions, the deadline for receiving elector responses was established as July 23, 2004 at 4:00 PM. This date is 30 clear calendar days after the last notice was published on June 22, 2004. A total of 48 elector response forms were received by 4:00 PM July 23, 2004. Of these 46 were resident electors and 2 were non-resident property electors. The District estimated that 5,481 was the number of electors who must submit signed elector response forms in order to prevent the Council from adopting the Loan Authorization Bylaw and entering into the Landlord Liabilities and the Environmental Indemnity Agreement. Section 86 (8) of the Community Charter states that, after the deadline for an alternative approval process has passed, the corporate officer must determine and certify, on the basis of the elector response forms received before that deadline, whether elector approval in accordance with this section has been obtained. Further, Section 86 (9) states that a determination under subsection (8) is final and conclusive. Recognizing that 48 response forms were submitted before the deadline, and that all the forms submitted were valid, I have therefore determined and certified that elector approval under Section 86 of the Community Charter has been obtained. Council is therefore in a position to adopt Maple Ridge Downtown Core Facilities Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 6246 - 2004. Council is also in a position to incur the liabilities and enter into the indemnity agreement. Resolutions regarding these items will be presented at a later date. by: TØyi Fryer, P.

The procedure is outlined in this report and involves adoption of the following resolutions. RECOMMENDATIONS: That the District of Maple Ridge proceed to borrow the amount provided under "Maple Ridge Downtown Core Facilities Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 6246 - 2004." under the Municipal Finance Authority's 2005 Spring Issue. And further, That the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) is requested to consent to and to authorize the financing at the sole cost of the municipality and on behalf of the municipality the amount up to, but not exceeding, 49.1 million dollars ($49,100,000.00) in lawful money of Canada, at such interest and with such discounts or premiums and expenses as the Municipal Finance Authority of British Columbia may deem appropriate in consideration of the market and economic conditions pertaining for the following purposes: lending up to $32.1 million to Maple Ridge Municipal Holdings Ltd. ("MRMH") in connection with MRMH's acquisition of the Downtown Core facilities, satisfying, if necessary, any guarantee by the District of debt assumed or otherwise incurred, up to $17 million, by MRMH in connection with MRMH's acquisition of the Downtown Core Facilities, or acquiring the Downtown Core Facilities from MRMH. And further, 3. That upon completion by the GVRD of the financing authorized by this resolution, the Mayor and the Director of Finance shall at the request of the GVRD sign one or more agreements providing for payment by the District of Maple Ridge to the GVRD of the amounts required to meet the obligations of the GVRD with respect to the borrowings undertaken, provided the principal amount shall not exceed $49,100,000.00; Page 1 And further, 4. That the District's General Manager: Corporate & Financial Services be authorized to work with the Municipal Finance Authority (MFA) to lock in borrowing rates for "Maple Ridge Downtown Core Facilities Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 6246-2004", if appropriate, for $32,100,000 for a period not to exceed 22 years, starting the Summer or Fall of 2004 and also to secure, if deemed appropriate by the District's General Manager: Corporate & Financial Services, interest rates for $17,000,000 in anticipation of a future borrowing in 2006. It is recognized that regulatory approvals for the Districts' Loan Authorization Bylaw (Bylaw No. 6264-2004) may not be in place until October 2004. As such and to facilitate the buyout of the project, the District will be approving a Temporary Borrowing Bylaw (Bylaw No. 6251-2004) to provide funding until the Loan Authorization Bylaw comes into effect. In recognition of the changing interest rate environment, the District's General Manager: Corporate & Financial Services is hereby directed to work with the MFA and use financial instruments available to lock in long term borrowing rates while borrowing under Temporary Borrowing Bylaw No. 6251- 2004. The District agrees to absolve the MFA of all financial liability that may arise from entering this arrangement should the final steps of the borrowing process not be completed, and the lock in contract with a chartered bank need to be cancelled and the District will pay for any financial obligations incurred by the MFA in the process of canceling the forward rate lock agreement. And further, That Maple Ridge Downtown Core Facilities Temporary Borrowing Bylaw No. 6251 - 2004 be read a first, second and third time. And further, That the Mayor and Municipal Clerk be authorized to sign the letter agreement from MCAP regarding the loan assumption attached as Attachment 3 to the report dated July 27, 2004. DISCUSSION: As Council is aware, the District must borrow long term funds from the MFA through the GVRD. The following addresses the procedures necessary to achieve the funding. LoanAuthorization Bylaw On July 27, 2004 Council will consider final reading of "Maple Ridge Downtown Core Facilities Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 6246-2004". If this bylaw is adopted, an application to the Ministry of Communities, Aboriginal and Women's Services (MCAWS) will be made for a Certificate of Approval and it is anticipated that a certificate will be issued in late August. Security Issuing Bylaw After consultations with the Municipal Finance Authority (MFA) and the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD), a procedure and timeline have been developed to secure financing from MFA through the GVRD for the following purposes: Page 2 lending up to $32.1 million to Maple Ridge Municipal Holdings Ltd. ("MRMH") in connection with MRMH's acquisition of the Downtown Core facilities, 2. satisfying, if necessary, any guarantee by the District of debt assumed or otherwise incurred, up to $17 million, by MRMH in connection with MRMH's acquisition of the Downtown Core Facilities, or acquiring the Downtown Core Facilities from MRMH. The procedure involves consideration of a resolution that: sets out the amount to be borrowed and the term of issue sets out the purpose for the borrowing authorizes the Mayor and Chief Financial Officer to sign agreements providing for payments to the GVRD locks in the amount and term of the borrowing, and authorizes staff to approve the rate Once Council passes this resolution, a copy will be sent to the GVRD notifying the GVRD of our security issuing needs. The GVRD will then consider and adopt a security issuing bylaw and apply to MCAWS for a Certificate of Approval. Once MCAWS issues the certificate they will send both the adopted Security Issuing Bylaw and the adopted Loan Authorization Bylaw (with appropriate certificates) to the Municipal Finance Authority (MFA). Temporary Borrowing The MFA is an agency that obtains long term financing by issuing debt instruments on behalf of member municipalities. As such, they go to the marketplace in the Fall and Spring. In all likelihood the District will not be able to complete all the necessary regulatory requirements before the MFA goes to market for the Fall borrowing. In order to complete the financing arrangements it is necessary to arrange for and obtain interim financing. It is therefore recommended that temporary borrowing under the provisions of Section 18 1(1) of the Community Charter be considered. Maple Ridge Downtown Core Facilities Temporary Borrowing Bylaw No. 6251 - 2004 has been prepared (see attached copy) and staff recommend three readings to this bylaw. Final consideration will be requested at a special Council meeting at 8:30 a.m. on July 29, 2004. In recognition of the changing interest rate environment, it is recommended that the District's General Manager: Corporate & Financial Services work with the MFA and use financial instruments available to lock in long term borrowing rates while borrowing under Bylaw No. 6251-2004. The District must agree to absolve the MFA of all financial liability that may arise from entering this arrangement should. the final steps of the borrowing process not be completed and the lock in contract with a chartered bank need to be cancelled. The District will pay for any financial obligations incurred by the MFA in the process of canceling the forward rate lock agreement. This temporary borrowing will allow timely completion of the core deal and will be replaced by permanent borrowing through the Spring 2005 MFA debenture issue. TD/MCAP Letter Agreement from MCAP Regarding the Loan Assumption. As Council is aware, Maple Ridge Municipal Holdings Ltd. will be assuming the mortgage held by TD/MCAP as part of the core deal. It is necessary for Council to acknowledge and agree to the terms of this assumption. Our legal counsel advises that the terms in this agreement are standard in the industry and recommends that Council authorize the Mayor and Municipal Clerk to sign the letter agreement from MCAP regarding the loan assumption.

V2X 6A9 Attention: Ms. Cheryl Ennis, Assistant to the Mayor Dear Cheryl, I am writing this letter for the attention of the Mayor and Council, I wish my letter to appear on the open agenda andlor speak as a delegate. My concern is the overwhelming increase of traffic on 132uid Avenue. Due to the growing population and new construction projects in this neighborhood, our quiet Avenue has become a speeding highway for convoys of heavy commercial vehicles. Soon the South Alouette Bridge will close for repairs, traffic will be rerouted and increase immensely. People wanting to go to Maple Ridge Park and Alouette Lake, cyclists, joggers and dog walkers all use this designated Horse Trail. There are two major Equestrian Centers and a stable, which cater to horseback riding on this route. Many riders are inexperienced and travel in large groups along this Avenue. This brings me to the horrible and tragic accident that happened on June 8, 2004. I have enclosed newspaper articles and information pertaining to this incident for your review. This problem needs careful consideration; appropriate signs need to be placed and the horse trail rerouted. We need a solution quickly to avoid another unfortunate fatality. I fear for my two young children who need to be watched like a hawk because our mailbox is just across the Street. I appreciate your attention to this matter; if I can be of assistance please do not hesitate to call me at my residence (604) 463-1656. Thank you. Sincerely, G. Hall End. Ms. Jocelyn G. Hall 23044 132nd Avenue Maple Ridge, B.C. V4R 2T3 June 10, 2004 Horse Council BC 27336 Fraser Highway Aldergrove, B.C. V4W 3N5 Attention: Mrs. Vicki Pauze, Executive Director Re: Membership Number 60083 (Card- 0B71 1472 C83E D865) Dear Vicki, As a member of the Equine Association I am writing this letter to you with respect to the tragic horse accident that took place on 132 Avenue in Maple Ridge on June 8, 2004. I have included information and newspaper articles, which you might find useful in our attempt to change the behavior of traffic in my neighborhood. Each day when I leave my driveway I am haunted by the memory of seeing a timid white and brown Appaloosa called How-D and his rider (well known by everyone in this area), lying on the road in a pool of blood. The 9 foot skid mark on the road engraved with the horse's shoe and the gallons of blood spilling from his dismembered foot has prompted me to engage in a campaign I feel is important, the objective is for the safety of others using this designated riding trail. The trail is marked with tiny yellow signs upon which a small horseshoe is printed. These signs are nailed onto the telephone poles intermittently along 132' Avenue. The road allowance is not adequate enough for horses and parked cars so "No Parking" signs have been placed in the same fashion. The community is growing very rapidly, Silver Valley is an expanding project, which includes a new bridge at the South Alouette River. This bridge construction brings many heavy commercial trucks down this designated horse trail all day long. The bridge will soon close for the summer, all vehicles will have to detour down32 ' Avenue. I fear that the speed and disrespect of uneducated drivers will soon result in another incident causing a fatality. There are two major Equestrian Centers in the vicinity and a stable, which engages in horseback riding, often these customers are not at all experienced and travel in large groups. I am pursuing the City of Maple Ridge to place signs along this Avenue stating that it is a Horse Trail, signs which explain that horses have the Right-of-Way, Pass With Caution, or speed restrictions. I am asking you for your help to achieve this goal. Another alternative to the increased traffic is to reroute the horse trail along the South Alouette River as there is already an existing trail put in years ago which is now not in use. The land is owned independently but I assume it would not be difficult to get the permission of the owners in view of the tragic outcome. I have contacted the Cities Engineering Department with regards to this issue they are in co-operation with Ridge Meadows Parks & Facilities. I am also writing a letter to the Mayor and Council for further action. It is my hope that with the Horse Council's help we may be able to speed up the process. Should you need any further information please do not hesitate to contact me at my residence (604) 463-1656. Thank you for your attention to this matter I await your reply. Sincerely, el/n G. Hall, Concerned Resident End.

The Applicant's submission conforms with the notice of application requirements of the Agricultural Land Commission. RECOMMENDATION: That application AL/060/04 respecting property located at 11915 252 Street and 25213 Dewdney Trunk Road, be authorized to proceed to the Agricultural Land Commission and that the applicant and the Commission are provided with an understanding of the current Official Community Plan policy and servicing constraints on the property as outlined in the report dated July 9th, 2004.

Due to their small parcel size of less than 2 acres as Jos.. of December 21, 1972, each parcel is exempt from the restrictions on land as set out in Section 23 (1) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act. Parcels of this description are therefore to be administered by the local government with respect to land use, subdivision, and zoning, although they remain in the Agricultural Land Reserve unless excluded by the formal application process. The applicant is aware of the legislation and wishes to proceed with a formal exclusion application. Although each parcel greatly exceeds minimum parcel size for the RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) zone, and is exempt from Agricultural Land Commission Act requirements, current servicing on the properties is insufficient to permit subdivision as defined in the Maple Ridge Subdivision Bylaw. Application AL/060/04 has been received to exclude the subject properties from the Agricultural Land Reserve. The Applicant has satisfied all "notice of exclusion" requirements under Section 5 of B.C. Regulation 313/78 (Agricultural Land Reserve Procedure Regulation). The notice requests written comments be forwarded to the District of Maple Ridge. To date three letters have been received by the Planning Department. Rural Plan In October 1997 the Rural Plan Advisory Committee (RPAC) completed their final report. The subject site is in Sub Area D. The Committee recommended for the use of the Clustering! Consolidation Concept to provide buffering, with retention of rural character and agriculture remaining the use emphasis in this Sub-area. Council concurred with this recommendation in the January 1998 Summary of Council Decisions on Implementation of the Rural Plan as follows: That the recommendation of the Rural Plan Advisory Committee to permit the use of the Clustering! Consolidation Concept in Sub-area D be approved. Project Description: The applicant has not stated any specific redevelopment plans. Planning Analysis: On March 11, 2004, a report for processing exclusion applications was received by Council outlining land use considerations. Council resolved to continue their current practice of referring all applications to the Agricultural Land Commission with the provision that applicants and the Commission be advised that land use decisions will continue to be directed by Council. The following land use implications of the proposed exclusion need to be considered: • The Applicant has not explicitly indicated the owner's redevelopment plans for the subject properties; should they be excluded from the Agricultural Land Reserve. It is anticipated that the owner's intention is to use the land for uses other than rural residential or agricultural. The subject properties are currently designated for Agricultural Use. Under the existing Official Community Plan, the land is not considered available for uses other than agricultural. The proposed exclusion of these properties from the ALR and their potential redevelopment is inconsistent with the goals of the Livable Region Strategic Plan and the Regional Context Statement adopted by the District in the Official Community Plan. This application is in an area which lies outside the urban area boundary and is designated as Green Zone in the Livable Region Strategic Plan. Maple Ridge must consider the four fundamental strategies of the Livable Region Strategic Plan (LSRP) when considering future development: -2- Protection of the Green Zone; Building of complete communities; Achievement of a compact metropolitan region, and Increased transportation choice. • The Official Community Plan is currently under review. While designations may change as a result of that review there is no guarantee that these properties will be designated for urban development upon conclusion of the Official Community Plan. • The land use implications and development pressures that will occur for excluded properties that do not become designated for urban purposes during the process of the Official Community Plan review may be a consideration. Although disappointed at this outcome, many applicants will still have expectations for redevelopment in the longer term. • The properties are not .within the Sewer Area "A" boundary and would therefore require an application to the Clerks Department to have the site included in Sewer Area "A". Similarly, an application to the Greater Vancouver Regional District to amend the Green Zone boundaries would be required for these properties prior to permitting an urban style of development. There is no guarantee that such applications would be approved. ALTERNATIVES: Council may wish to refer this application to the Agricultural Land Commission with comment expressing their support or non-support. If Council does not support this application, they have the option to not recommend forwarding it to Agricultural Land Commission, thereby denying it further consideration for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve. CONCLUSION: Based on the recommendation contained within the report titled Processing of Applications for Exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve during the Official Community Plan Review, dated March I l a', 2004 and the resolution from Council dated March 23rd 2004, it is recommended the application AL/065/04 be authorized to proceed to the Agricultural Land Commission.

Further to your letter and accompanying enclosures of September 8, 1993, please be advised that the above-noted property is located within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). However, because the land, on December 21, 1972, was, by separate certificate of title issued under the Land Registry Act, less than two acres in area, the restrictions on land use and subdiviàjon set out in the Agricultural Land Commission Act do not apply. You are referred to Section 19(1) of the Act. Please note, however, that the ALR statue of the property does not affect the applicability of local government zoning bylaws or any other land use restrictions which may apply. Should you wish to exclude the property from the ALR in the future, a formal application under Section 12(1) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act would be required. Yours truly,. AGRICULTURAl.

The Applicant's submission conforms with the notice of application requirements of the Agricultural Land Commission. RECOMMENDATION: That application AL/060/04 respecting property located at 12301 237 Street, be authorized to proceed to the Agricultural Land Commission and that the applicant and the Commission are provided with an understanding of the current Official Community Plan policy and servicing constraints on the property as outlined in the report dated July 6th 2004. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Owner: Legal Description: OCP Existing: Zoning Existing: Surrounding Uses North: South: East: West: Existing Use of Property: Access: Donada Industries Limited Walter Holonko, Natalka Holonko Parcel A (RP2517) SE1/4, Section: 21, Township: 12, Except Parcel "One" (RP2613), NWD AGR (Agricultural) RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) A-2 (Upland Agricultural) RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) 237th Street. 1 903 The subject property inthis application is located on the West side 0f237th Street within the Yennadon area of the District. A previous application for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve, (AL/005/79) was denied by the Agricultural Land Commission by Resolution #678/80 on the basis that the property was considered by the Commission to be suitable for agricultural use. The property lies immediately south of and adjacent to lands that were the subject of exclusion application AL/044/04 considered by Council on July 13, 2004. At that meeting, Council resolved not to forward that application. Application AL/060/04 has been received to exclude the subject property from the Agricultural Land Reserve. The Applicant has satisfied all "notice of exclusion" requirements under Section 5 of B.C. Regulation 3 13/78 (Agricultural Land Reserve Procedure Regulation). The notice requests written comments be forwarded to the District of Maple Ridge. To date one letter has been received by the Planning Department. Rural Plan In October 1997 the Rural Plan Advisory Committee (RPAC) completed their final report. The subject site is in Sub Area B. This sub area is bisected by 232 nd Street and the future Abernethy Connector into 3 smaller divisions. Site severance may occur due to the construction of the Abemethy Way arterial, although the exact location of this corridor has not yet been confirmed. This subject property is within a division described as "B3". Although unresolved conflicts were reported by the committee with regard to use emphasis and parcel size in Sub Area B, the "B3" area was recommended to remain in the Agricultural Land Reserve and for protection of view corridors through the development of a Farm Bylaw and by setting siting and setback requirements for development. In January 1998 the Summary of Council decisions on Implementation of the Rural Plan was issued. As outlined in this document, Council amended the original recommendation for "133" to: Retain in the Agricultural Land Reserve. Adopt a Farm By-Law to restrict intensive/intrusive agriculture. Project Description: The applicant has not stated any specific redevelopment plans. Planning Analysis: On March 11, 2004, a report for processing exclusion applications was received by Council outlining land use considerations. Council resolved to continue their current practice of referring all applications to the Agricultural Land Commission with the provision that applicants and the Commission be advised that land use decisions will continue to be directed by Council. -2- The following land use implications of the proposed exclusion need to be considered: The Applicant has not explicitly indicated the owner's redevelopment plans for the subject property, should it be excluded from the Agricultural Land Reserve. However, once excluded, the permitted uses will no longer be restricted by the Agricultural Land Commission Act. It is anticipated that the owner's intention is to use the land for uses other than rural residential or agricultural. The subject property is currently designated for Agricultural Use. Under the existing Official Community Plan, the land is not considered available for uses other than agricultural. • The proposed exclusion of this property from the ALR and its potential redevelopment is inconsistent with the goals of the Livable Region Strategic Plan and the Regional Context Statement adopted by the District in the Official Community Plan. This application is in an area which lies outside the urban area boundary and is designated as Green Zone in the Livable Region Strategic Plan. Maple Ridge must consider the four fundamental strategies of the Livable Region Strategic Plan (LSRP) when considering future development: Protection of the Green Zone; Building of complete communities; Achievement of a compact metropolitan region, and Increased transportation choice. • The Official Community Plan is currently under review. While designations may change as a result of that review there is no guarantee that this property will be designated for urban development upon conclusion of the Official Community Plan. • The land use implications and development pressures that will occur for excluded properties that do not become designated for urban purposes during the process of the Official Community Plan review may be a consideration. Although disappointed at this outcome, many applicants will still have expectations for redevelopment in the longer term. The property is not within the Sewer Area "A" boundary and would therefore require an application to the Clerk's Department for inclusion in Sewer Area "A" to allow servicing to an urban standard. Similarly, an application to the Greater Vancouver Regional District to amend. the GreenZone boundaries would be requi.red for this property prior to permitting an urban style of development. There is no guarantee that such applications would be approved. ALTERNATIVES: Council may wish to refer this application to the Agricultural Land Commission with comment expressing their support or non-support. If Council does not support this application, they have the option to not recommend forwarding it to Agricultural Land Commission, thereby denying it further consideration for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve. -3- CONCLUSION: Based on the recommendation contained within the report titled Processing of Applications for Exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve during the Official Community Plan Review, dated March 11th, 2004 and the resolution from Council dated March 23rd, 2004, it is recommended the application AL/060/04 be authorized to proceed to the Agricultural Land Commission.

Planning Department, District of Maple Ridge. Our property located at 23570 124 Ave. at far east boundary adjoins the property at 12301237th St.. We have been on this land since 1975. We would like to go on record as opposed to the exclusion application for the above stated properties. We wish to express our concerns first for the environment and to speak on behalf of the wildlife in this area. The family of deer, we have seen at least five that travel regularly, the two different families of coyote (6 in one group and 4 in the other) the pheasants, the mother bear and her cubs, the red tail hawk family that has been around for many years prior to 1975. Also, there are the barn owls that hunt in these fields and thousands of birds that come to eat seed and so many insects. At one time this area was slated as a corridor for the wildlife to reach the Fraser River; what ever happened to that plan? This area has long been designated for farming and agricultural use. We are well aware that these farm lands have gone up in value, and also understand the financial benefit that any development would bring. However, we are strongly opposed to the destruction that such development would bring to the natural habitat found on these farm lands, and further the long tenn destruction of the limited farm land left in this municipality would cause untold problems for the future of Maple Ridge. It is the beauty of the rolling hills and farm lands that attracts many to this area. What then will be the advertised features we will use to attract tourists to come to our city? Will we highlight our growing new features that such urban development is bringing, inner city ghettos, pollution, insufficient infrastructure, increased crime rates and children playing in the streets? Welcome to Maple Ridge the home of historical farm land, and future chaos. Yours sincerely, Harry & Josephine Bissky Hazel Bissky & Tom Bissky Cathy Hiebert & Wade Hiebert • British Columbia Agricultural Land Commission May 7th, 1980 Mr. William M. Stevens 1530 West 33rd Avenue Vancouver, B.C. V6M 1A7 Tokphono (604) 294.6211 4333 Ledge, Avanue, I3urnaby, B.C., V5G 313 Reply to the attention of Evtt Lew /. Dear Sir: Re: Application 1/92-K-79-09322 This is to advise that the Provincial Agricultural Land Commission has considered your application regarding land described as: Parcel 1, S.E. 114, Sec. 21, Twp. 12, Plan 2613, N.W.D. (3.5 acres); Lot 4, S.W. 1/4, Sec. 21, Twp. 12, Plan 1023, N.W.D. (17.2 acres); East 112 of 6, S.W. 1/4, Sec. 21, Twp. 12, Plan 1023, N.W.D. (10 acres); East 112 of 3, S.W. 1/4, Sec. 21, Twp. 12, Plan 1023, N.W.D. (10 acres); West 1/2'of 3, S.W. 1/4, Sec. 21, Twp. 12, Plan 1023, N.W.D. (10 acres); Parcel "A" (S & E Plan 2613) S.E. 1/4, Sec. 21, Twp. 12, Plan 2517 (11.5 acres). The Commission carefully took into account all the information submitted with your application. Pursuant to Section g (3) of the Agricultural \ Land Commission Act, the Commission, by Resolution 1/678/80 refused the -Japplication on the grounds that the property has capability for agricultural use. While the Commission noted the arguments raised in Mr. Putnam's letter of April 21st, 1980 and Mr. Baker's letter of April 25th, 1980, it does not agree with the conclusion drawn that the property in question is not "suitable" for agricultural use and therefore should not be in the Agricultural Land Reserve. The intent of the Agricultural Land Commission Act is to preserve, agricultural land for present and future food requirements. The Commission regards this as a long term goal, and hence the reliance on B.C. Land Inventory agricultural capability information, based upon range of crops. Within this realm, some lands may indeed be found to be more or less suitable for specific crops or in fact, specific varieties of specific crops depending upon market cor,ditions, level of individual management and a corr.plex variety of other factors, none of which actually detract from the intrinsic capability of the land itself. 12 Mr. Wm. Stevens May 7th,1980 Page 2 The land referred to in the application remains in the Agricultural Land Reserve Plan of the Dewdney Alouette Regional District and continues to be subject to the provisions of the Agriculural Land Commission Act and regulations.

A portion of the 248 Street right of way will also be rezoned to accommodate a future road exchange proposed as part of the development plan. The application will require an amendment to Schedule "B" of the Official Community Plan for that portion of the site that is being rezoned to Single Family Residential (12 units per net hectare). RECOMMENDATIONS: That, acknowledging that Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6232-2004 has been considered in conjunction with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan, Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6232-2004 be read a first time forwarded to Public Hearing; That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6233-2004 be read a first time and be forwarded to Public Hearing; and That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading. Issuance by the Province of an approval with respect to the Contaminated Sites Regulations and remediation; Registration of an Agreement for provision of offsite services including the deposit of security as outlined in the Agreement; A Statutory right of way plan and agreement must be registered at the Land Title Office; Application to have the site included into Sewer Area "A". q0y DISCUSSION: Background Context: Applicant: Damax Consultants Ltd Owner: Norond Contractors Ltd. Legal Description: Lot A, Section 3, Township 12, Plan BCP 05542 NWD OCP: Existing: Area subject to this rezoning application is Reclamation Proposed: Area subject to this rezoning application is Single Family Residential (12 uits per net hecare) Zoning: Existing: M-2 (General Industrial) & A-2 (Upland Agricultural) Proposed: SRS (Special Urban Residential) for the upper bench area only. Surrounding Uses: North: Gravel pit operation South: Rural Residential East: Rural Residential West: Albion Park Existing Use of Property: Vacant Proposed Use of Property: Residential Access: 248 Street Servicing: To be provided through a Rezoning Development Agreement Previous Applications: SD1055/01 History The development site is approximately 2.9 hectares in size and is presently zoned M-2 (General Industrial). The property is owned by the District of Maple Ridge and used as a gravel pit operation and asphalt plant facility. The site is being purchased by Norand Contractors Ltd. who are currently finalizing the legal conditions of the sale. The site has received a reclamation permit from the Ministries of Mines and Energy and remediation work is being done to achieve a Certification of Compliance under the Waste Management Act for an area on the lower bench of the site, where industrial activities occurred. This application is therefore limited to the upper bench only, which is accessed off 248 Street. The lower bench area will be the subject of a subsequent rezoning application once a Certificate of Compliance under the Waste Management Act has been issued. a) Project-Descr-ip.t.io .n: The property is physically divided into two separate areas due to topography both man-made and natural. There is the upper bench, accessed off 248 Street, which is the subject of this rezoning application using the SRS (Special Urban Residential) zone. The proposed lots are all in excess of 837 m 2 and will provide for a transition to the lands on the east, which are presently designated as "urban reserve", zoned for agriculture use and are rural in nature. Access to the proposed single-family lots on the upper bench will be from 248 Street and the proposed subdivision shows that a portion of 248 Street is proposed to be included in the development. This will require Council approval of a Road Exchange Bylaw prior to subdivision approval. -2- Once the land is zoned to SRS (Special Urban Residential) the owner intends to proceed with a subdivision of this upper bench which will leave the remainder on the lower bench area, with frontage on Industrial Avenue and the undeveloped 104 Avenue road allowance. Prior to subdivision approval it will be necessary for a Development Variance Permit to be processed to postpone upgrading of urban services on Industrial Avenue and 104 Avenue to a future date when the land (lower bench) adjacent to these roads develops. c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: Schedule "B": The portion of the site, which is subject to this rezoning application is within the urban boundary and is designated Reclamation in Schedule "B" of the Official Community Plan. Review of this designation has determined that an amendment to Single Family Residential (12 units per net hectare) is appropriate. This redesignation is supported as the Reclamation designation was put in place to ensure that future consideration of slopes and impact from the gravel operation would be reviewed. That review indicates that the area is suitable for residential development and that, in order to provide for a transition with the urban boundary and the lands to the east of the site, the larger SRS (Special Residential) lots would provide an acceptable interface. It is, therefore, necessary to amend Schedule "B" of the Official Community Plan to Single Family Residential (12 units per net hectare). Schedule "E" and Development Permit Area XXX: Schedule "E" of the Official Community Plan and the District's Streamside Assessment Setback Map identifies a watercourse on the property for special treatment. In light of this, approval under Development Permit Area XXX is required prior to any on site works taking place within 50 metres of the watercourse. The permit will establish the habitat protection area, monitoring schedule, sediment control, and clearing limits as well as establish the environmental security that will be required under Council's Policy. The District's Streamside Setback Assessment Map indicates that a 15 meter setback from top of bank is applicable for the watercourse, located to the south of this property on adjacent lands. Schedule "F": Schedule "F" of the Official Community Plan shows a shoulder (interim) trail along the 104 Avenue alignment This trail is aiso noted as part of the Trans Canada Trail that runsthrough the District The location of this trail will not change with this application however, when the balance of the site redevelops the trail will be improved and provided for within an area that will be dedicated as park. Schedule B: The site has been identified on Schedule H of the Official Community Plan as being included into Development Permit XXVI. -3- Development Permit XXVI: This Development Permit was established to address protection of the natural environment and was based on a report prepared by Resource Systems Management International which was prepared for the Albion area in 1993. That report identified the site as having moderate sensitivity for consideration. Schedule H of the Official Community Plan has indicated that the area has "moderate sensitivity" The District has received both geotechnical and environmental assessments that indicate that development of this upper bench area of the subject site feasible from both a geotechnical and environmental aspect and a Development Permit is required for all alteration to lands. This report will be presented to Council at the same time as the Development Permit XXX report is presented. Zoning Bylaw: The proposed zoning is SRS (Special Urban Residential) zone. The minimum lot size for this parcel is 837 m2 with a minimum frontage requirement of 18 metres. Several of the proposed lots are larger and wider than the bylaw requirement. Servicing will be to a full urban standard along the portion of the site that fronts on 248 Street and will be provided as a condition of subdivision. Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting was held on July 29, 2003. While this meeting was for the entire site, the owner has since requested to proceed with the upper bench. The minutes from that meeting are attached. The main concerns were with respect to the equestrian trail, the neighbour to the north of the subject site wanted assurances that access would be provided to his land when development occurs and possible tree retention along the 248 Street alignment. The first two issues will be addressed when the lower bench develops the trees on the upper area will be protected along the south and south east portion of the site. This retention will require an arborist' s assessment. d) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: The Engineering Department has advised that all the services required in support of the residential development do not exist to the site. It will, therefore be necessary for the owner to enter into an agreement for provision of off-site services and deposit the required security to do the works prior to final reading of the zone amending bylaw. Deficient services include the extension of the sanitary sewer, storm sewer and a water main extension, which will include a pump station, a reservoir and supporting water mains. it will be necessary to obtain- statutory right of ways for some of -these services. The site is not presently included into Sewer Area A. An application to the Municipal Clerk is required for inclusion prior to final reading of the zoning bylaw. Parks & Leisure Services Department: The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the subdivision is completed, they will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. In the case of this project it is estimated that there will be an additional 36 trees which is based on one tree per lot; final subdivision design will provide exact numbers. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that the maintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree will increase their budget requirements by $900.00. -4- Fire Department: The Fire Department has reviewed the proposed subdivision and has no concerns. e) Intergovernmental Issues: Local Government Act: An amendment to the Official Community Plan requires the local government to consult with any affected parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section 882 of the Act. The amendment required for this application, to Single Family Residential (12 units per net hectare), is considered to be minor in nature. It has been determined that no additional consultation beyond existing procedures is required, including referrals to the Board of the Regional District, the Council of an adjacent municipality, First Nations, the School District or agencies of the Federal and Provincial Governments. The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial PlanlCapital Plan and the Waste Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact. 1) Environmental Implications: A Stage I - Site investigation has been prepared for the entire site. That report has identified that there are some areas that will require remediation, located on the lower bench, where the industrial activity occurred. That remediation work is presently underway and either an Approval In Principle (AlP) under the Contaminated Sites Regulations or a Certificate of Compliance under the Waste Management Act will be required prior to any development of that portion of the site. This is necessary in order for the subdivision to proceed. The upper bench area has also received an environmental review and that review indicates that "there is a low potential for constituents of concern being present in the site soil and/or groundwater at concentrations in excess of the applicable standards provided in the British Columbia Contaminated Sites Regulations (CSR) and further investigation of the upper east bench area at 10300 Industrial Avenue is not warranted." It will, however, be necessary to obtain an Approval In Principal and/or permission from the Manager of the Waste Management Act to permit subdivision of the parent parcel. On July 13, 2004, a letter regarding the proposed development area was received from the Contaminated Sites Officer of the Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection. The letter states: "The site profile requirements are limited to the footprint of the special waste facility and any additional area contaminated by the operation of this facility and does not necessarily apply to the entire legal parcel. It is my understanding that the special waste facility was located in the lower part of the site in the gravel pit area and not on the upper bench area of the site. If the location of the special waste facility and any contamination associated with the operation of the special waste facility can be confirmed and does not include the upper bench, then the site profile requirements would not apply to the proposed 27 lot development". The information necessary to confirm the status of the upper area is being compiled and forwarded to the Ministry. Approval from the Province will be a requirement before final approval can be given. -5- CONCLUSION: Geotechnical and environmental consultants have reviewed the portion of this site that is subject to the rezoning application; their findings indicate that residential use is feasible. However, confirmation from the Province will be required before final adoption. The Official Community Plan Amendment to Single Family Residential (12 units per net hectare) will provide an urban interface with the neighbourhood to the east. It is recommended that first reading be granted to Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6232-2004 and Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6233-2004 and that the application be forwarded to Public Hearing.

The re-designation would allow for rezoning of the easterly portion of the site to R-1 (Residential District) to match the existing zoning of the westerly portion of the site. Once all of the site is zoned R- 1 (Residential District) it could be subdivided into four lots having an area of not less than 371 m2. As this is an infill project intended to fit into an existing neighbourhood, a restrictive covenant to ensure general housing design and site landscaping is proposed. RECOMMENDATIONS: That, acknowledging that Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6201 - 2004 has been considered in conjunction with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan, Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6201 - 2004 be read a first time and forwarded to Public Hearing; That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6202 - 2004 be read a first time and be forwarded to Public Hearing; and That a restrictive covenant to ensure general housing design and site landscaping be providedpriorto final adoption oftheabove bylaws. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Temax Enterprises Ltd. Owner: Temax Enterprises Ltd & 647334 BC Ltd. Legal Description: Lot 16, Section 20, Township 12, Plan 74975, NWD OCP: Existing: Single Family Residential (18 Units Per Net Ha), Compact Housing (30 to 40 Units Per Net Ha) Proposed: Compact Housing (30 to 40 Units Per Net Ha) 3 05 Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Surrounding Uses: North: South: East: West: Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Access: Servicing: RS-lb (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential), R-1 (Residential District) R-1 (Residential District) RS-lb (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential) R-1 (Residential District) RS-lb (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential) R-1 Residential District RS-lb (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential) R-1 (Residential District) Streng Avenue, Kendrick Loop Urban services exist in the area Project Description: The 0.20 ha. subject site is currently split zoned with R-1 (Residential District) fronting on Streng Avenue with the east portion zoned RS-lb (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential) fronting on Kendrick Loop. The Official Community Plan designation also relates generally to the zoning with a greater density designation on the west portion of the site. The applicant is proposing to amend the Official Community Plan for the east portion of the site to Compact Housing (30 to 40 units per net ha.) and rezone this area to R-1 (Residential District). The west portion of the site will remain as designated Compact Housing (30 to 40 units per net ha.) and zoned R-1 (Residential District). Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The Official Community Plan amendment will permit the subsequent rezoning and future subdivision of the overall site into four R-1 (Residential District) lots. As the site is currently designated for two differing forms of development, it would seem to be reasonable for the entire property to be of a consistent designation and zoning. At the applicant's request and based on his proposal, the property is being proposed to be designated as Compact Housing. Zoning Bylaw: The applicant is requesting to rezone the east portion of the property from RS- lb (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential). To R- 1 (Residential District). The proposed subdivision of that portion to be rezoned will generally allow for the creation of two lots each 442 m2 with 18.4 metre road frontage on Kendrick Loop. The area for each lot will be slightly less than the minimum lot size for the existing RS-lb zone. However the frontage at 18.4 metres will be greater than the 15 metres for adjacent properties in this zone. As a result there will be the ability to construct new houses of a mass that is similar to the existing street scale on Kendrick Loop. -2- Comprehensive Plan of Development Schedule "D" of the Zoning Bylaw states: "In the R- 1 (Residential District) zone where a comprehensive plan of development has been provided upon subdivision, the minimum width at the building line may be reduced to a minimum of 6 metres, provided that at a line parallel to the building line and 8 metres to the rear thereof, the minimum width shall be 12 metres". As the proposed plan of subdivision indicates a reduced width at the building line, it will be necessary for the applicant to provide a comprehensive plan of development as a condition of subdivision. This plan may address issues related to the mass and siting of buildings, structures, vehicle access drives and landscaping to provide a plan of development that blends well within an existing neighbourhood. It is proposed that the details of this plan be clarified and tied down by restrictive covenant before final adoption of amending bylaws. The applicant has provided plans for retaining portions of the existing vegetation (hedge), and additional planting to soften the expanse of driveways within the narrowed lot frontage on Streng Avenue. In addition preliminary elevation plans showing the mass of the proposed new houses in relation to the existing residences has been provided. The applicants have also advised staff that a more comprehensive plan of site landscaping is forthcoming with the covenant. This will be pursued with the applicant at that time along with more detailed elevation plans if needed. Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting was held on January 29th, 2004 with eleven residents in attendance. The main concern raised by those reviewing the plan of development was a pedestrian walkway proposed on the south edge of the development site to provide a pedestrian connection between the two neighbourhoods. Subsequently based on concerns expressed by neighbourhood residents at that meeting the walkway requirement has been deleted from the development plans. Concern was expressed that the new houses should not look out of place with the existing housing stock in the neighbourhoods. This could be more appropriately addressed when the comprehensive plan is submitted. There was discussion surrounding the retention of some trees and the existing hedges on the border of the development site. d) InterdepartmentaUmpllcations: Engineering Department: The Engineering Department has indicated all required services will be provided at the subdivision stage. Parks & Leisure Services Department: The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the subdivision is completed they will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. In the case of this project it is estimated that there will be an additional 4 trees which is based on one tree per lot; final subdivision design will provide exact numbers. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that the -3- maintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree will increase their budget requirements by $100.00. e) Intergovernmental Issues: Local Government Act: An amendment to the Official Community Plan requires the local government to consult with any affected parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section 882 of the Act. The amendment required for this application, (insert amendment), is considered to be minor in nature. It has been determined that no additional consultation beyond existing procedures is required, including referrals to the Board of the Regional District, the Council of an adjacent municipality, First Nations, the School District or agencies of the Federal and Provincial Governments. The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial Plan/Capital Plan and the Waste Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact. CONCLUSION: That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw 6201-2004, and Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw 6202-2004, be read a First Time and that this application be forwarded to Public Hearing.

RECOMMENDATIONS: That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6171-2003 be read a first time and be forwarded to Public Hearing; and That Council reaffirm the approach to protection of watercourse conservation areas as outlined in this report dated July 07, 2004 DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Owner: Legal Description: OCP: Existing: Proposed: Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Surrounding Uses: North: South: East: West: Existing Use of Property: Paul Regnier Iron Mountain Investment Corp North Half of the South East ¼, Section 9, Township 15, NWD Rural Residential, Development Permit Area XXX Rural Residential, Development Permit Area XXX A-2 (Upland Agricultural) RG-3 (Rural Residential Strata) Rural Residential Rural Residential Mission Agricultural Vacant Proposed Use of Property: Access: Servicing: Rural Residential 287th Street and 108th Avenue Well water and septic fields Project Description: An application has been received to rezone the easterly portion of the property located at 28510 108th Avenue to permit subsequent subdivision into nine rural strata lots under the RG-3 (Rural Residential Strata) zone. The area under application is approximately 20.32 hectares. The existing home on the westerly portion of the property will remain on a lot approximately 11.7 hectares. The proposed nine strata lots will range in size from 0.8 hectares (2.04 acres) to 1.7 hectares (4.22 acres). Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The subject property is designated Rural Residential on Schedule "B" of the Official Community Plan. The RG-3 Rural Residential Strata zone is a corresponding zone permitted under this designation. This proposal is also being processed under Policy 28 which allows for bare land strata land tenure and clustering to provide for protection of a significant natural amenity, in this case the watercourse and adjoining habitat protection area. The protection area is in keeping with Schedule E of the Official Community Plan and the lands are subject to Development Permit Area XXX. Policy 30 of the Official Community Plan speaks to desired minimum parcel sizes and lot frontages, which are met by the parent parcel. They would not be applicable to the bare land strata lots in this case as the clustering provisions are being utilize4 and Policy 28 would take precedence. Watercourse Protection: The objectives and guidelines of Development Permit Area XXX indicate the desire to have watercourse areas protected, where possible, by dedication. It has been the practice, based on Council direction in the mid 1990's to preserve and protect watercourse conservation areas by dedication at the rezoning stage. This includes the actual ravine plus the prescribed habitat protection setback from top of bank. To date, the vast majority of subdivisions requiring rezoning and subject to habitat conservation have been in areas designated for urban or suburban development on the Official Community Plan. This application in the area designated Rural Residential has prompted further discussion on the practice of protecting these areas by placing them in public ownership. Protecting watercourse preservation lands by way of dedication appears to have been intended for urban and suburban densities. This was likely due to smaller lot sizes and the tendency for owners to encroach into these areas to enlarge usable space, even when they were protected by a restrictive covenant. It was felt that having the lands in public ownership would be the most -2- appropriate means of protection at these densities. Therefore the strategy has been to protect the stream habitat areas by dedication on smaller parcels (0.4 ha or less) and by restrictive covenant on larger holdings. The Official Community Plan identifies the importance of preserving watercourse areas in Policy 6 and Policy 8 as follows: 6. Policy: Maple Ridge regards the preservation of creeks and wetlands as important and has designated those creeks and wetlands on Schedule "E" for special control. Maple Ridge has established a watercourse preservation Development Permit Area adjacent to all creeks and wetlands shown on Schedule "E." The Development Permit Areas include all land within 50 metres of the top of bank of those creeks or wetlands. 8. Policy: In order to preserve watercourses, subject to Section 941 of the Municipal Act, an owner of land being subdivided shall, at the option of Council: provide park land of an amount not to exceed 5% of the land being subdivided in a location acceptable to Council; or pay to the Municipality an amount that equals the market value of up to 5% of the land that may be required for park land purposes. Since many of the conservation areas exceeded that allowed to be taken at subdivision, Council in the mid 1990's, directed staff to request dedication of these lands at the rezoning stage. While there is certainty that Council direction was provided, it was not reinforced by resolution. The most common tools for protecting and preserving watercourse conservation areas include: Dedication of the land, which brings the area under District ownership. Restrictive Covenants which place legal restrictions on the lands to be protected and acts as notification to abutting property owners. Development Permit Area XXX that regulates by development permits any alteration of lands within 50 metres of top of bank of the specified watercourses under Schedule E of the Official Community Plan. The development permit allows for more detailed analysis. Zoning Bylaw provisions, which prescribe setbacks for buildings and structures in relation to watercourses. The current practice is generally consistent with the Official Community Plan and the Parks Master Plan. It also seems to have been fairly consistently applied over the intervening years on Urban and Suburban designated lands. The practice in areas designated Rural Residential, however, was a bit unclear, as there have not been any applications involving rezoning to facilitate subdivision. After review and discussion, it is recommended that watercourse and ravine areas on lands designated Rural Residential in the OCP be protected by restrictive covenant. Lot sizes in most cases would be quite large and the area that would be dedicated, in many instances, could be quite extensive in relation to the number of lots being created. In addition staff doubt that connectivity could be achieved since extensive subdivisions in these areas are unlikely. This application would comply with that recommendation. -3- Staff is therefore, by way of approval of this application, asking Council to re-confirm the practice relating to the protecting of watercourse conservation areas generally as follows: In areas designated for Urban and Suburban development in the Official Community Plan the method of protection of watercourse conservation areas will be by way of dedication at the rezoning stage plus Development Permit Area XXX. In areas designated Rural Residential in the Official Community plan, the method of protection of watercourse conservation areas will be by way of restrictive covenant with provision for public access for trail connectivity or enhancement and Development Permit Area XXX. In all areas there may be unique situations where dedication may not be practical for some reason and a covenant may be the more appropriate protection tool. This may include the historical development pattern and potential for connectivity and access in the longer term. When such situations arise, staff will present the rationale to Council for consideration of the alternate protection tool in the first reading report. RG-3 (Rural Residential Strata) Zone Numerous watercourses and other natural amenities are located in many areas designated rural residential. In order to protect these watercourses and preserve other natural amenities the RG-3 (Rural Residential Strata) zone was created. This zone allows for the protection of these areas by way of clustering the development outside of the area to be protected. Vincent Creek, which is designated for special treatment on Schedule "E" of the Official Community Plan, bisects the property. Vincent Creek flows southwest, merging with Whonnock Creek which in turn flows into the Fraser River. There is an unnamed watercourse that collects flows from the Eighteen Pastures Golf Course and collects flows from a number of wetland areas along the north east sector of the property. Vincent Creek and the associated tributaries offer valuable spawning grounds and provide irreplaceable habitat nutrients. As noted above the RG-3 (Rural Residential Strata) zone was created to allow for clustering of development outside an area to be protected. This permits the number of lots to be calculated from the net density ofThe property. The zoning bylaw defines net density as follows: NET DENSITY means a measurement of development intensity on a lot and is the figure obtained when the total number of dwelling units constructed or to be constructed on a lot is divided by the total area of the lot, excluding that portion of the lot required for public park dedication, public road right-of-way, and that portion of the common property in strata development which is used for access routes. This development will not be providing public park dedication and therefore will be subject to the 5% cash in lieu provisions of the Local Government Act as outlined in Policy 8 of the Official Community Plan. All of the watercourses including 30 meters inland from the top of -4- bank will be common property of the strata lots and will be protected by a restrictive covenant. This will be registered at the subdivision stage. Development will be clustered on the remaining portion of the land. The public road right-of-way and that portion of the common property in the strata development that will be used for access routes are approximately 1.06 hectares. In order to calculate the net density the following formula applies: Site Area: 20.32 ha. Access Routes: - 1.06 ha. Net Area: = 19.26 ha. 19.26 X 0.5 (rural residential density) = 9.63 rounded to 9 units. Access The preliminary site plan shows the extension of 287th Street from the 10600 block to 108' Avenue. Private driveways will be constructed off the east and west side 0f287th Street to provide access to the strata lots. These driveways will be common property of the strata lots and have been included in the net density calculation. Servicing The property is not served with a community sewage collection system or a community water distribution system. Therefore, each strata lot must be able to support a septic disposal system approved by the Fraser Health Authority and a well water system that complies with the Canadian Drinking Water Standards for quality and provides a minimum of 2250 litres (500 gallons) per day. The applicant has provided some preliminary information demonstrating that the proposed strata lots should be able to support the required sewage disposal systems and provide adequate water supply. Final approval of both the sewage disposal fields and the well water supply for each lot will be a condition of subdivision approval. Failure to provide the approvals will result in an adjustment to the subdivision geometry. d) Development Permits: Development Permit Area XXX All lands located within 50 meters of the top of bank of a watercourse and wetlands shown on Schedule "B" are subject to the objectives and guidelines of Development Permit Area XXX. Council must approve a Development Permit prior to the commencement of any site work. The Permit must detail all lot grading works, measures for siltation control, monitoring schedule and security for the protection of the habitat protection areas. -5- e) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department Engineering comments relate to the necessity for approved onsite water supply and onsite septic disposal fields for each of the proposed strata lots. The dedication and construction of the 287th Street extension will be required as a condition of subdivision approval. CONCLUSION: That application RZ/0l 5101 be favorably considered and that Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 617 1-2003 be given first reading.

Associated with the application is a proposed Zoning By-law text amendment to permit a drive-through as an accessory use in the C-2 (Community Commercial) zone. If approved, the amendments will permit the construction of three buildings. These include a commercial retail store approximately 2,364 m2, a commercial retail unit approximately 372 m 2, and a restaurant with drive-through service approximately 260 m 2 in area. RECOMMENDATIONS: That, acknowledging that Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6236-2004 has been considered in conjunction with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan, Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6236-2004 be read a first time and forwarded to Public Hearing; That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6237-2004 be read a first time and be forwarded to Public Hearing; ThatMaple RidgeZoneAmending Bylaw No.6250— 2004beread afirsttime and be forwarded to Public Hearing; and That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading.

On-site parking for 100 cars as per the requirements in the Off Street Loading and Parking Bylaw will be provided with access at two points off 240th Street, and access to Dewdney Trunk Road limited to right in and right out. A separated sidewalk will be provided along both frontages off 240th Street and Dewdney Trunk Road. This will create a more pleasant walking experience for pedestrians with a grassed boulevard containing street trees as a separation between vehicles and pedestrians. c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The property is currently designated School in the Official Community Plan. The applicant is requesting the designation be changed to Community Commercial to enable the development of three commercial buildings. The change will require an amendment to Schedule B of the Official Community Plan. In addition, an amendment to Schedule H of the Official Community Plan is also proposed to place the property within Development Permit Area XXIX to address the form and character of commercial development. -2- The Official Community Plan outlines a general policy framework for the establishment of new Community Commercial Centres. The creation of a new Community Commercial Centre at Dewdney Trunk Road and 240th Street is supported by the following two policies: 49. Policy: Maple Ridge will encourage the concentration of additional commercial, retail, office, social, recreational and residential uses into Community Commercial centres which are sized to serve a population of 10, 000 to 15, 000 people and which incorporates a flexible form of development which compliments the character of the neighbourhoods at an appropriate human scale. 59. Policy: Maple Ridge will support the development and enhancement of community cores to act as focal points of activity. These cores will be centred on the historic cores where appropriate or on Community Commercial cores. The elements that should be considered include: • a range of population densities, including, as designated on the plan schedules, small lot and large lot single family housing, ground oriented townhousing, and low rise apartments where appropriate, to serve different household types and affordability requirements, • a mix of services that accommodates a wide range of activities, with an emphasis on close proximity of living and working areas, • to provide an adequate system of local roads building upon the existing grid system and to complete the major arterial network in a grid where appropriate, • the careful attention to the design of public spaces, particularly roads, for the purpose of defining the use of space, promoting pedestrian comfort, and to improve safety, • the provision of public transit to community cores, • greater emphasis on the interconnection of destinations with frail, pedestrian and bicycle networks, • the integration of natural features into new developments, and • the provision of common public areas that support interaction and community identity. In addition, the Commercial Land Use Study prepared by G.P. Rollo & Associates Ltd. as part of the current Official Community Plan Review outlines the need for a hierarchy of commercial land uses, including community and neighbourhood commercial centres that serve daily shopping needs of local residents. Specifically, the report recommends the establishment of a community commercial node at this intersection in order to serve the East Haney, Cottonwood and East Maple Ridge neighbourhoods by providing a diversity of commercial services that will be required in the future. The report also suggests that locating new community commercial nodes at major intersections will help to capture both resident traffic and traffic driving through the municipality. -3- The above Official Community Plan policies and supporting information contained in the Commercial Land Use Study, support the establishment of a new commercial node at this location and designation of the subject property to Community Commercial. Zoning Bylaw: The proposed C-2 (Community Commercial) zone is in alignment with the requested Community Commercial designation and would enable the construction of a 2,364 m 2 retail food store, a separate 372 m 2 commercial retail unit, and a 260 m2 restaurant. Currently, the C-2 (Community Commercial) zone does not permit a drive-through to be associated with any permitted principal uses. In order to permit the restaurant to include a drive-through as indicated on the plans, an amendment to the zone will be required. The proposed Zoning By-law text amendment No. 6250 - 2004 recommends the following changes be made: • The definition of drive-through be deleted and replaced with one that provides a clearer and more complete identification of the facility; • That drive-through be added to the list of permitted accessory uses; and • That additional requirements for the location of a drive-through in the C-2 zone be included under Section 8 Other Regulations. The addition of a drive-through as a permitted accessory use in the C-2 (Community Commercial) zone may create on-site circulation and neighbourhood traffic implications. In order to address the potential for negative impacts as a consequence of the proposed text amendment, a traffic impact assessment will be required prior to Council giving final approval to the rezoning application. The above changes to the C-2 (Community Commercial) zone will align it more closely to the service commercial zones and provide a greater degree in the flexibility of commercial uses when locating new community commercial nodes in developing areas of the municipality. Currently, seven properties in the District are zoned C-2 (Community Commercial), six of which are located in west Maple Ridge along the Lougheed Highway corridor as shown on the attached Map 1. Of the seven C-2 (Community Commercial) zoned properties, five have a totalof 11 restaurants, all located in west Maple Ridge and indicated on the attached Map 2. Development Permits: A condition of this rezoning application will be to amend Schedules "A" and "H" to include the property in Development Permit Area XXIX. The goals of the development permit are to address the form and character of community commercial development, recognising its neighbourhood function, and to provide an attractive environment for customers and as a commercial focal point in the District. Development Permit Area XXIX includes the following four objectives that will need to be addressed should the application reach this stage. -4- To facilitate orderly development of the areas through particular attention to the siting and form of commercial buildings and their areas for parking, storage and landscaping; 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, roof treatment, treatment of entranceways, appropriate and safe access, parking arrangement and circulation, and landscape character and design; To create interesting and friendly streetscapes and improve pedestrian circulation and amenity by clarif'ing street edges through the location and design of buildings and signage and through the use of appropriate landscaping and public street furnishings; and To provide parking in pleasant, safe and convenient places, avoid large tracts of featureless paving surface and avoid conflicts with the pedestrian enjoyment of this area. Advisory Design Panel: This rezoning application was presented at the Advisory Design Panel meeting May 6th, 2004. The following resolution is from this meeting: It was duly MOVED and SECONDED that the following resolution be passed: The Advisory Design Panel expressed overall support for the project as presented by the applicant, with the following suggestions: That signflcant review of design, siting, pedestrian circulation and access, traffic including arrangement of loading facilities, and approach to neighbourhood commercial zoning objectives, specifically pedestrian use, be undertaken. Further details and design rationale on how the objectives of Development Permit Area XXIX will be achieved will be presented by the applicant when the Development Permit plans are presented to the Advisory Design Panel. Development Information Meeting: The applicant held a Development Information Meeting on April 20 th, 2004 with approximately twelve persons in attendance. Most of those attending this meeting were in support of the food store with one opposed and wanting the site to remain as a school site. The applicant did not indicate any other issues were identified. d) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: The Engineering Department has reviewed the proposed plan of development and has provided comments with respect to the level of existing services and what improvements will be necessary as a condition of this land use change, to be -5- incorporated in a Rezoning Development Agreement. These improvements relate to road works to widen pavement, construct curb and gutters, sidewalks, storm sewer and drainage works, street lighting, utility connections and street trees. In addition, the Engineering Department will require the applicant to carry out a full traffic impact study to review road reconstruction on Dewdney Trunk Road and other works as required. The applicants have provided a Preliminary Traffic Impact Assessment which addresses access restrictions, intersection improvements and the drive-thru aisle in general. While a more extensive report will be required, the preliminary report recommends that the Dewdney Trunk Road access be limited to right in and right out only and that the southerly access to 240 Street be restricted to right out only. All movements can be permitted at the northerly access to 240 Street. The report also recommends that the north leg of the intersection be upgraded to separate the left turn movements from the throughlright turns and a separate northbound left turn lane be marked on 240 Street. A queuing distance of 60 metres (eight cars) is recommended for the drive-thru aisle. The design for this has not yet been finalized and will be done as part of the more detailed traffic study. Parks & Leisure Services Department: The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the Development Permit is completed they will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. In the case of this project it is estimated that there will be an additional 13 trees; final landscape design will provide exact numbers. The Director of Parks & Facilities has advised that the maintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree will increase their budget requirements by $325.00. e) Intergovernmental Issues: Local Government Act: An amendment to the Official Community Plan requires the local government to consult with any affected parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section 882 of the Act. The amendment required for this application, to designate the land as Community Commercial and include it into a Development Permit 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 with the Financial Plan/Capital Plan and the Waste Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact. CONCLUSION: That Maple Ridge OCP Amending Bylaw 6236-2004, and Zone Amending Bylaws 6237- 2004, 6250-2004 be read a First Time and that this application be forwarded to Public Hearing.

DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Damax Consultants Ltd Owner: 6778087 B.C. Ltd. Legal Description: Lot M, Block 2, Section 3, Township 12, Plan 21679. OCP: Existing: Compact Housing (40 Units Per Ha), Development Permit Area XLI Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Proposed: R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Surrounding Uses - North: Rural Residential South: Urban Residential East: Rural Residential West: Urban Residential Existing Use of Property: Rural Residential Proposed Use of Property: Urban Residential Access: 244th Street Servicing: Full Urban Previous Applications: RZ/003/03, SD/003/03, VP/003/03 Project Description: At a meeting held September 9 th, 2003 Council approved the rezoning of property located at 24350 104th Avenue. Prior to issuance of building permits a development permit is required. Planning Analysis: Development Permit Area XLI: Development Permit Area XLI was established to address intensive residential development for densities ranging from 30-60 units per net hectare with fee simple or bare land strata lots. The objectives of the permit area are: To ensure that "Intensive Residential" development relates to an overall neighbourhood structure that contributes to objectives for achieving "complete community" status. To ensure that the design of new residential development contributes to neighbourhood connectivity and strategies for transportation choice. To ensure that new residential development reinforces existing neighbourhood patterns with respect to community or neighbourhood commercial centres. To ensure that new residential development contributes to neighbourhood character and identity through the design of its buildings, landscape, and intervening spaces. To encourage design that accommodates a high level of community/neighbourhood interaction as a means of achieving greater participation in neighbourhood evolution. The associated densities are managed through design to promote neighborlinesss. The Development Permit Guidelines address three broad design categories: Access, Circulation and Parking. 2. Building Form and Character. Landscaping, Fencing, Open Space. The following design elements of the project address the guidelines of the development permit area as follows: 1) Access, Circulation and Parking: a) Public Roads Road systems should provide efficient circulation for service vehicles and encourage vehicles to maintain appropriate speed through physical design. The pedestrian realm should be clearly defined and acknowledged through enhanced physical design particularly at intersections where the potential for conflicts exist. -2- iii) Parking is accommodated on streets and to the rear of residences accessed by a lane, where possible. Where parking garages are oriented towards the street, the garage width should not exceed 50% of the total building width. • This subdivision will be accessed via 104M Avenue and the extension 01244th Street through to 104th Avenue. The pedestrian corridors will be separated sidewalks with street trees planted in the boulevard. 2) Building Form and Character: Buildings should front abutting streets. Main entrances should face and access the street and be clearly visible. Entrances should reinforce proximity to grade level and should avoid two- storey features. The use of porches or verandahs to define entries and create exterior living space is encouraged. While varying the design of individual homes is encouraged, a common architectural vocabulary should be used as a means of reinforcing neighbourhood density. Unity, symmetry, and proportion should be the guiding principles of any architectural vernacular. The existing neighbourhood can provide a reference for new development. Building setbacks from roadways will generally be less than is typical of lower density residential development. As much as possible, entries and main living spaces should be elevated by approximately 1 meter from the fronting street grade to ensure privacy can be maintained. The presence of garage doors along roadways should be minimized in order to enhance the pedestrian experience. To this end, a number of measures are identified: The visual impact of garage doors should be reduced by emphasizing pedestrian entries. The garage door should encompass no more than 50% of the building width as seen from the fronting road. Where severe grade limitation allows the garage to be located within the basement level, this maximum width limitation need not apply. The garage door should be recessed a minimum of 0.6 meters behind the main building façade. Garage entries should be considered as part of the overall design program. Glazing should be considered a method of reducing the severity of a large blank surface. • All of the homes will front onto the abutting street. Front entries are defined with porches that form part of the dominant feature of the front elevation. • Traditional heritage and craftsman styling is the architectural theme. This incorporates some of the design attributes from neighboring homes. • There are nine lots served with rear lane access. These lots have elevated front entry porches with a residential presence accentuated by a reduced front yard setback. Nine lots with access via 244" Street have the garages within the basement level with porches extending over on the second storey. -3- 3) Landscaping, Fencing, Open Space: a) Recreation Space: Recreation space should be provided within 2 to 5 minutes walking distance of a residence. This is equivalent to desirable maximum distance of 200 meters to an absolute maximum of 400 meters. Design of these areas should reflect the anticipated needs of the residential population Recreation areas should be easily observed by nearby residences These areas should be sited so as to not conflict with the enjoyment of private outdoor space Recreation space should have sun exposure year round. • There are two facilities located within close proximity to this subdivision. The Samuel Robinson Technical School is located on the north side 01104th Avenue and Albion Park is approximately 40 meters to the east on the south side of 104tI A venue. b) Existing Natural Features existing trees should be retained where possible. measures must be taken to protect trees identified for retention. Siting adjacent to treed slopes, ravines, and watercourses will need to respect natural vegetation and may require additional setbacks beyond the requirements of the Zoning Bylaw. Reference must be made to the Watercourse Protection Policies of the Official Community plan and the Tree Protection Bylaw. • Significant trees located along the east property line will be protected by way of a restrictive covenant. c) Landscaping street trees will be required as a component of all new development. simplicity in landscape materials is desirable and should be encouraged for screening purposes. landscaping should provide definition for pedestrian corridors, delineate private or semi- private space from public space, and provide adequate screening for private outdoor space. The scale and location of planting material should be consistent with the scale massing of adjacent buildings and seek to complement them. • Separated sidewalks will be accented with street trees planted in the boulevard. -4- d) Fencing front yard fences are encouraged as a means of defining public and private space. Notwithstanding the requirements of the Zoning Bylaw, fences in front yards should be reduced somewhat in height from the maximum permitted. fencing that is adjacent to a street should be somewhat transparent, such as a picket type, rather than solid board. any fencing should be provided in combination with landscaping on the street side. • Fencing visible from the street shall be a picket style with alternating 1x2 and 1x4 cedar pickets at a height of 42' e) Lighting street lighting is required on public streets and should be provided for all private streets within a development. lighting is to be pedestrian focused and as such should be located at a maximum height of 4 meters and at lesser inter als than standard davit streetlights. care should be taken to ensure that lighting does not pose a nuisance to adjacent residences, pedestrians, or motorists by way of glare. • Street lighting will be provided to District Engineering specifications. CONCLUSION: As the development proposal complies with the guidelines and objectives of Development Permit Area XLI, it is recommended that DP/003/03 be given favorable consideration. Prepared by: David Stevenson - Pickerjnr!jQ MCIP Fnk Quinig1'MP GM: PditWorks & Development Services Concurrence:/ J. L. (Jim) Rule I Chief Administrative Officer DS/bj C :1 ME DEVELOPMENT PERMIT DESIGNATION The Development Permit Area is established to address intensive residential development for densities ranging from 30-60 units per net hectare with fee simple or bare land strata lots. LOCATION The property is located along 244th Street, between 1 03 Ave and 104th Ave. The development proposes to create 21 new fee simple lots. JUSTIFICATION The Development Permit Area is established to address strategies outlined in the Official Community Plan. The Development Permit Area addresses policy relating to objectives for Neighbourhood Character and Design as described in th Official Community Plan. With increasing density comes the greater need to emphasize high standards of aesthetics and quality of the buildings while protecting the qualities of the natural environment. The desired outcome is a safe, people-friendly, attractive and environmentally responsive neighbourhood. OBJECTIVES 1.0 To ensure that the intensive residential development relates to the overall neighbourhood structure that contributes to the objectives for achieving "complete community" status. 2.0 To ensure that the design of new residential development contributes to neighbourhood connectivity and strategies for transportation choice. 3.0 To ensure that new residential development reinforces existing neighbourhood patterns with respect to community or neighbourhood commercial centers. 4.0 To ensure that new residential development contributes to neighbourhood character and identity through the design of its buildings, landscape and intervening spaces. 5.0 To encourage design that accommodates a high level of community and neighbourhood interaction as a means of achieving greater participationin neighbourhood evolution. The associated densities are managed through design to promote neiglibourl mess. E. BUILDING FORM AND CHARACTER 1.0 DESIGN GUIDELINES Design guidelines are intended to maintain a high standard of exterior architectural appearance throughout the subdivision. They will direct the builder and the homebuyers towards aesthetically pleasing and appropriate building forms and details. This document is a guideline and does allow for flexibility for designs that are in conformity with the overall intent of the design guidelines. 2.0 SITING AND SETBACKS Each home should be designed to take advantage of the natural characteristics of the property. Lots with a rear lane will have homes with garages accessing from the said lane. All homes must have the main living area (le; living room, kitchen) on the main floor and the majority of sleeping quarters on the upper floor. All homes must be sited to conform with the current Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaws. 3.0 STREETSCAPE The floor plans of the homes may be similar, however the same exterior design may not be repeated unless there is a minimum of two separating it. A variety in home designs will achieve a pleasing streetscape. All homes must conform to the minimum standards of landscaping set out in the guidelines. 4.0 EXTERIOR DESIGN Traditional Heritage and Craftsman Styling is the theme in this subdivision. Detailing which is an integral part of these two stylings must be used in the exterior treatments of all homes. All homes must achieve a similar degree of detailing, as consistency in the subdivision is important. Main exterior cladding shall be vinyl siding, horizontally or vertically installed. All front facing exteriors must be accented with a combination of stone, cedar shingles or slap dash stucco, and trim baseboards. Accent veneers must turn the front corners a mm. 3'-0". A minimum 6" trim is required around all doors and windows that face a street. The trims must be installed to hide the J-molding of the siding next to the window. All other elevations must have a minimum 1X4" trim around doors and windows. Window detailing such as mutton bars are encouraged. Exterior colour schemes have been provided, however other schemes will be considered as long as they meet the intent of the Design Guidelines. Colour schemes may not be repeated within 4 lots, and trim colours can not be repeated on adjacent lots. Roof styles should be Hip Roof and Gable Roof designs, which relate well to the house style. Gable detailing is required, see streetscape examples. Roof pitches must be consistent with the house styling. A minimum 4 in 12 pitch is required, higher pitches are expected on Street facing gables. All roofing material will be asphalt shingle in a brown or charcoal tone. Fascia boards will be layered ie. 2X10 with 1X4 over. All homes are required to have a porch element on the front façade. Roof treatment over the front porch area is required to reduce the massing of the house. Porches are required to have a pickets and railing of a simple design. Posts are required to have some accenting and should be a minimum of 10"X10" at the narrow and a minimum 1 8"X 18" at the accenting base, see example. All building elevations that face a street (corner lots) shall receive equal detailing treatment. Large expanses of blank walls are not acceptable. Detached garages will be fmished to match the house that occupies the same lot. TYPICAL GARAGE 5.0 LANDSCAPING Driveways are to be located in accordance with the prepared subdivision plan. Driveways shall be finished with exposed aggregate, where the driveways are to the street. A broom finish concrete may be used where the garage faces the lane. Landscaping of the street facing yards shall be designed to enhance the individual home and to create a cohesive slreetscape in the neighbourhood. Landscaping shall include a combination of trees, shrubs and flowerbeds. Lawn only is not acceptable. Landscaping of each lot shall include one tree and an assortment of shrubs from the following list. TREE OPTIONS 1) European Mountain Ash 2) Bowhall Red Maple (see street tree plan) SHRUB OPTIONS 1) Rhododendron Common Boxwood Heath Meadow Sweet Azalia Viburnum Pieris Abelia Fencing visible from the street shall be a picket style. Alternating I x2 and 1 x4 cedar pickets at a fence height of 42", see example. Rear and side fencing may be 6'0" in height. .1 3 CAP' PossBLE rUILO!S Tvl')-' I 1O4IAVE.

The developers are completing the requirements for subdivision approval which includes approval from Council of a Development Permit. Planning Analysis: Development Permit Area XLI: Development Permit Area XLI was established to address intensive residential development for densities ranging from 30-60 units per net hectare with fee simple or bare land strata lots. The objectives of the permit area are: To ensure that "Intensive Residential" development relates to an overall neighbourhood structure that contributes to objectives for achieving "complete community" status. To ensure that the design of new residential development contributes to neighbourhood connectivity and strategies for transportation choice. To ensure that new residential development reinforces existing neighbourhood patterns with respect to community or neighbourhood commercial centres. To ensure that new residential development contributes to neighbourhood character and identity through the design of its buildings, landscape, and intervening spaces. To encourage design that accommodates a high level of community/neighbourhood interaction as a means of achieving greater participation in neighbourhood evolution. The associated densities are managed through design to promote neighborlinesss. The Development Permit Guidelines address three broad design categories: Access, Circulation and Parking. Building Form and Character. Landscaping, Fencing, Open Space. -2- The following design elements of the project address the guidelines of the development permit area as follows: 1) Access, Circulation and Parking: a) Public Roads Road systems should provide efficient circulation for service vehicles and encourage vehicles to maintain appropriate speed through physical design. The pedestrian realm should be clearly defined and acknowledged through enhanced physical design particularly at intersections where the potential for conflicts exist. Parking is accommodated on streets and to the rear of residences accessed by a lane, where possible. Where parking garages are oriented towards the street, the garage width should not exceed 50% of the total building width. Public road access will be provided off of Kanaka Way with connections to Creekside Street through Phase two to the east. The existing lane to the west will be extended to Creekside Street to provide vehicle access to the lots fronting onto Kanaka Way and the lots to the south of the public road. The subdivision will be serviced with separated sidewalks for pedestrian circulation. 2) Building Form and Character: Buildings should front abutting streets. Main entrances should face and access the street and be clearly visible. Entrances should reinforce proximity to grade level and should avoid tow-storey features. The use of porches or verandahs to define entries and create exterior living space is encouraged. While valying the design of individual homes is encouraged, a common architectural vocabulary should be used as a means of reinforcing neighbourhood density. Unity, symmetry, and proportion should be the guiding principles of any architectural vernacular. The existing neighbourhood can provide a reference for new development. Building setbacks from roadways will generally be less than is typical of lower density residential development. As much as possible, entries and main living spaces should be elevated by approximately 1 meter from the fronting street grade to ensure privacy can be maintained. The presence of garage doors along roadways should be minimized in order to enhance the pedestrian experience. To this end, a number of measures are identified: j -3- S The visual impact of garage doors should be reduced by emphasizing pedestrian entries. The garage door should encompass no more than 50% of the building width as seen from the fronting road. Where severe grade limitation allows the garage to be located within the basement level, this maximum width limitation need not apply. The garage door should be recessed a minimum of 0.6 meters behind the main building façade. Garage entries should be considered as part of the overall design program. Glazing should be considered a method of reducing the severity of a large blank surface. • The homes will allfront on to the public roads. • The main entrances will be clearly visible from the street. • Porches and verandahs to define entries and create exterior living spaces is incorporated into the house designs. • The homes proposedfor the lots north of the public road, which do not have a lane, will have the garages within the basement leveL • A common architectural vocabulary should be used as a means of reinforcing neighbourhood density. This subdivision will be in keeping with the existing development south of Kanaka Way and west of the site. • The building setbacks comply with the R-3 zone. The entries and main living spaces will be elevated above the fronting streetscape ensuring that privacy is maintained. • Houses along the west side of Road A and north of Road B will have garages at the basement level due to topographic constraints. The garages will be recessed a minimum of 0.6 meters behind the main building fa(!ade. 3) Landscaping, Fencing. Open Space: a) Recreation Space: Recreation space should be provided within 2 to 5 minutes walking distance of a residence. This is equivalent to desirable maximum distance of 200 meters to an absolute maximum of 400 meters. Design of these areas should reflect the anticipated needs of the residential population Recreation areas should be easily observed by nearby residences These areas should be sited so as to not conflict with the enjoyment of private outdoor space Recreation space should have sun exposure year round. -4- • The Kanaka Creek Regional Park trail is a one minute walk from this project. • Kanaka Creek Elementary School is 150 meters west. b) Existing Natural Features existing trees should be retained where possible. measures must be taken to protect trees identified for retention. Siting adjacent to treed slopes, ravines, and watercourses will need to respect natural vegetation and may require additional setbacks beyond the requirements of the Zoning Bylaw. Reference must be made to the Watercourse Protection Policies of the Official Community plan and the Tree Protection Bylaw. • Trees along the northern portion of the site will be retained. c) Landscaping Street trees will be required as a component of all new development. simplicity in landscape materials is desirable and should be encouraged for screening purposes. landscaping should provide definition for pedestrian corridors, delineate private or semi-private space from public space, and provide adequate screening for private outdoor space. The scale and location of planting material should be consistent with the scale massing of adjacent buildings and seek to complement them. • Street trees will be provided along the public roads. • Concrete walkway will provide pedestrian access to each home from the sidewalk. - • Walkways will be bordered with front yard lawn. • Shrubs will accent the front entry area of each home d) Fencing front yard fences are encouraged as a means of defining public and private space. Notwithstanding the requirements of the Zoning Bylaw, fences in front yards should be reduced somewhat in height from the maximum permitted. fencing that is adjacent to a street should be somewhat transparent, such as a picket type, rather than solid board. IN -5- iii) any fencing should be provided in combination with landscaping on the street side. • Fencing will be incorporated into the individual house design at the building permit stage • Low picket fencing will be encouraged. e) Lighting street lighting is required on public streets and should be provided for all private streets within a development. lighting is to be pedestrian focused and as such should be located at a maximum height of 4 meters and at lesser intervals than standard davit streetlights. care should be taken to ensure that lighting does not pose a nuisance to adjacent residences, pedestrians, or motorists by way of glare. • Low post top street lighting will be used on the new interior roads. Street lighting on Kanaka Way exists and meets arterial road standards. CONCLUSION: As the development proposal complies with the guidelines and objectives of Development Permit Area XLI, it is recommended that DP/l 08/02 be given favorable consideration.

Development of the property is governed by Development Permit Area XXXVII that addresses the form and character of service commercial development adjacent to properties designated for residential use. RECOMMENDATION: That the Municipal Clerk be authorized to sign and seal DP/072/04 respecting property located at 11871 203 Street. DISCUSSION: Background Context: Applicant: Owner: Legal Description: OCP: Existing: Zoning: Existing: Surrounding Uses North: N South: East: West: Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Access: Servicing: Project Description: Mussallem Realty Ltd Mussallem Realty Ltd Parcel One, D.L.: 222, Group 1, Plan: 62569, NWD. Service Commercial CS-1 (Service Commercial) Westgate Shopping Center and Wetgate Volkswagen Residential Burger King, Shell Residential Burger King (Lease) and Vacant Chevrolet/Cadillac Dealershir Lougheed Highway and 203r Street Full Urban The subject property is zoned CS-I (Service Commercial) and is within Development Permit Area XXXVII. Lands to the west and south are residential neighborhoods. Accordingly, prior to any new ciio development proceeding, Council must approve a development permit. The Burger King is located on the north east corner of the property and is a long-term lease with the owners. The dealership is proposed to be located on the central portion of the property west of the restaurant. c) Planning Analysis: DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AREA XXXVII The Development Permit Area was established to address the form and character of service commercial development adjacent to properties designated in the Official Community Plan for residential use. The objectives of the permit area are: 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 neighborhoods 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. The Development Permit Guidelines are as follows: Buildings and structures should be located to ensure safe traffic circulation and access and adequate on-site parking. • The building is oriented to Lougheed Highway, and approximately 37 metres north of the southerly property line and 67 metres east of the westerly property line. • The service portion of the building is accessed from the east and west - away from the nearest residential development. 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. • The landscape plans include substantial landscaping and tree planting along the north and south property lines, and appropriate planting on other portions of the site. -2- • There is a very substantial landscape screen existing to the south of the proposed development site, which will be augmented by planting along that property line. 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. • The design and construction of the building will provide the maximum sound attenuation. The dealership will ensure that there is no loudspeaker equipment, as modern communication methods do not require that type of sound system. 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. • Lighting will be directional and oriented away from the residential lands and the highway. Signage will be limited to the Lougheed Highway and the building fascia. 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. • The proposal does not include a body shop, and is limited to the sale and service of automobiles. • In order to minimize impact on the residential lands, the showrooms and display areas are located at the northerly portion of the site. Particular attention should be made to the image presented to the streetfront and adjacent residential properties. • As a condition of the building permit the street frontages will be improved to District standards including street trees. A well defined pedestrian access to any accessojy commercial use will be provided from the public sidewalk. Design will ensure that pedestrian use is given precedence over vehicular use. • Lougheed Highway and 203T(1 Street frontages have pedestrian sidewalks. - Architectural finishes and building design should be compatible with those used on buildings in adjacent residential neighborhoods. 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 concrete should be avoided. Expanses of solid wall and glass are unacceptable. • The quality of the building will meet the objectives of the Development Permit Area and will meet the recently adopted standards of General Motors. 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. -3- • The building is oriented to Lougheed Highway, and approximately 37 metres north of the southerly property line and 67 metres east of the westerly property line. The south lot line and the west lot line are adjacent to the residential neighborhoods. • The spatial separation augmented with the landscaping will enhance the privacy for the adjacent homes. d) Advisory Design Panel: At a meeting held July 8th, 2004 the Advisory Design Panel reviewed this Development Permit application. The panel expressed overall support for the project as presented. CONCLUSION: As the development proposal complies with the guidelines and objectives of Development Permit Area XXXVII, it is recommended that DP/072/04 be given favorable consideration.

Concurrent with the rezoning is a subdivision application, which upon review by the Engineering Department has identified the servicing requirements for a fourteen lot subdivision. The Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw requires urban streets to be constructed to a standard which includes the conversion of existing above ground telephone plant fronting the property on 240th Street to underground facilities. Planning Analysis: Council Policy 9.05 Conversion of Existing Overhead Utility Wiring to Underground Wiring states: Council will support development variance permit applications to waive the requirement of Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw, to provide underground wiring on highway rights of way serviced by existing overhead utility systems, where the abutting road is required to be upgraded to an urban standard, on the following condition: - The existing overhead utility system is shown on the attached plan. The plan attached to this policy indicates a development variance for the conversion of those utilities located on the west side of 240th Street is to be supported by Council.

SUBJECT: Local Newspaper Advertising EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Proposals for local Newspaper Advertising were received from the Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows Times and the Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows News on May 28, 2004. A selection committee comprised of employees from both Districts has reviewed and evaluated both proposals. RECOMMENDATION(S): That a contract be awarded to the Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows Times for all regular advertising for one year with an annual review and an option to renew the contract for two consecutive one year periods. DISCUSSION: Background Context: The parties entering into the contract with the Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows Times Newspaper would be the Corporation of the District of Maple Ridge and the Corporation of the District of Pitt Meadows. The contract will not include special publications such as the Ridge Meadows Recreation brochures. The proposed contract also reserves the District's right, "...at their sole discretion to, on occasion, place newspaper advertising in the other local newspaper IN ADDITION to placing advertisi.ng with the successful proponent." Both Districts have combined their local newspaper advertising in one contract since 1997. The reasons for placing the vast majority of our advertising with one newspaper rather than sharing or duplicating the ads include: • Consistency - the public can find all of the local government ads in the same place on a regular basis • Cost. - by consolidating the two Districts ads for a potential multi year period it encourages the vendors to be aggressive on pricing and other value added items. • Administration - it is administratively more efficient to deal with only one vendor rather than two. • Relationships - between the paper and our staff can be more easily developed for better service and problem solving. Process Chronology and Outcome RFP document develoed in early 2004. Bids received May 28 2004 A committee of representatives from both Districts evaluated the bids in relation to the RFP Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows Times identified as the preferred vendor. 933 Desired Outcome: to achieve print media exposure in the most effective way at the lowest possible cost. Strategic Alignment: This is a co-operative venture that leverages value received for both Districts. Citizen/Customer Implications: The use of local print media is an important component of the District's communications strategy. In March 2003, residents told the District that the best way to communicate with them is by newspaper announcements. Policy Implications: Is in alignment with the goals of the Communications business plan and meets the requirements of the Purchasing Policy Alternatives: Council could elect to develop a split or share process that rotates the advertising between the two papers or could duplicate a more substantial portion of the advertising than was contemplated in the RFP. Both of these options are inconsistent with the many of the reasons for placing the vast majority of our advertising with one paper. The duplication option would increase advertising costs significantly. CONCLUSIONS: Awarding the local advertising to one paper, the Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows Times, for a predetermined period of time, produces the best value result.

SUBJECT: Train Whistle Cessation Application EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: At the February 18, 2002 Committee of the Whole meeting, Council was advised (see attached staff report dated Feb. 11, 2002) that CP Rail was unable to process our Train Whistle Cessation application due to a review of the Regulations supporting the Railway Safety Act. In recent discussions with CP Rail, we have been advised that they are now prepared to consider applications for a 24 hour per day, 7 day per week ban on all trains except commuter passenger trains (i.e. West Coast Express). Since our initial application was for a ban during specific hours each day, we would have to re-apply for a 24 hour per day, 7 day per week ban. The application process requires that the District notify the general public and relevant organizations (various railway unions) of our intention to pass a resolution forbidding the use of whistles in the area. Further, we must arrange for an independent consultant to conduct (at the Districts cost) a detailed safety assessment of each crossing. For those crossings that meet the safety requirements, Council could then pass a resolution prohibiting whistling. RECOMMENDATION(S): That Council direct staff to proceed with an application for a 24 hour per day, 7 day per week ban of train whistles at the railway crossings in Maple Ridge and to follow the steps outlined in the staff report dated July 14, 2004, And, that Council authorize up to $32,000 from Accumulated Surplus for costs incurred to conduct detailed safety assessments of the railway crossings. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: The application would be for a ban of whistles at the following crossings: • Maple Meadows Way (at mile 106.20) • 203 Street (at mile 105.61) • Lorne Avenue (at mile 105.32) • Ditton Street (at mile 105.21) • Pedestrian Crossing at Hammond Mill • 224 Street (at mile 102.80) • private crossing - logging operation (at mile 102.50) • River Road (at mile 101.47) • 240 Street (at mile 99.76) The safety assessments will determine which crossings meet the safety requirements and, for those that don't, what upgrades or changes will be required to meet those standards. As noted in the attached staff report dated May 31, 2001, we expect some safety issues with the crossings at -1 - cy3y Ditton Street, 240 Street and the private crossing (logging operation) on the by-pass. For some crossings, it may not be possible to resolve the safety issues so whistling would continue. Business Plan/Financial Implications: It is anticipated that the District would incur costs of $22,000 to $32,000 for the detailed safety assessment (S2,500 to $3,500 per crossing). This expenditure has not been included in the current budget. Staff has recommended funding the expenditure through the Accumulated Surplus. However, given the increasing demands on that fund, Council may wish to delay the whistle ban application and discuss the funding request during the 2005-2009 Business Planning process when it can be weighed against other demands. Alternatively, Council could consider this funding request in relation to current projects funded by General Revenue but not yet started. CPR requires that the District of Maple Ridge share the additional liability insurance costs incurred by them as a result of approving whistle cessation. This would amount to $550 per year for each crossing ($4,950 annually). Additional costs could be incurred to upgrade or change crossings to satisfy safety requirements. Citizen/Customer Implications: We continue to get a number of complaints from residents in the Hammond and Haney By-pass areas regarding the use of train whistles. District staff have provided progress updates as requested and have encouraged residents to call the CP Rail Community Connect line (1-800- 766-79 12) to register any other concerns or comments. Alternatives: Council could also choose not apply for train whistle cessation and allow whistling to continue. Although CP Rail has indicated that, under exceptional circumstances, they will consider whistle ban between the hours of 2200 and 0700. Council could choose to pursue that option. CONCLUSION: The train whistle cessation application process ensures that safety issues are considered at each railway crossing before Council recommends prohibiting whistles at any given crossing.

SUBJECT: Train Whistle Cessation Application Update Purpose: The District of Maple Ridge has initiated an application with the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) and Transport Canada for a whistle ban for all trains, between the hours of 22:00 and 05:30, at 8 crossings in Maple Ridge. The attached letter, dated January 24, 2002, from CP Rail indicates they are unable to process our application any further at this time. Recommendation(s): For Information Only Background: The District has been working with CP Rail and Transport Canada for the past several years in an effort to obtain a train whistle ban at a number of crossings in Maple Ridge. The attached staff report, dated May 31, 2001, outlines the status of our application at that time. Since then, CP Rail has completed (in June 2001) the safety inspection of all the crossings but has not. provided us with any results/recommendations. Further, District staff made some inquiries of CP Rail staff regarding insurance issues for private crossings and the potential for a 24 hour a day ban on freight train whistles. Unfortunately, CP Rail staff have been unable to provide answers to these questions. The letter from CP Rail indicates that the Regulations supporting the Railway Safety Act are currently under review and the amended Regulations will result in a new framework for the Transport Canada Guidelines for whistle cessation. CP Rail was trying to process our application based on the anticipated amendments to the Regulations. Unfortunately, since the draft Regulations are still subject to significant changes, CP Rail has decided not to approve any whistle cessation applications until the Regulations are finalized in late 2002. Citizen/Customer Implications: We continue to get a number of complaints from residents in the Hammond and Haney By-pass areas regarding the use of train whistles. District staff have provided progress updates as requested and have encouraged residents to call the CP Rail Community Coniect line (1-800-766-7912) to register any other concerns or comments. Summary: District staff will continue to follow-up with CP Rail for progress updates and report to Council any significant changes.

V2X 8A9 Dear Mr. Riach: Re: Whistle Cessation Request by the District of MaDle Ridge ir.c'T' IN - .. T. rJAN3 12002 This refers to our previous exchanges concerning the request by the District of Maple Ridge (the "District') for train whistle cessation at eight crossings in the District. Regretfully, I must inform you that at this time we are unable to progress the District's request any further. We have previously discussed the regulatory changes that are affecting current whistle cessation requests. In particular, the Railway Safety Act was amended to incorporate a new section on whistle cessation, which section came into force in June, 2000. However, new Regulations that are referred to in that section remain in draft form only and are not anticipated to be proclaimed in force until at least the fourth quarter of 2002. The combination of the new section under the Railway Safety Act and the new Regulations are expected to replace the current Transport Canada Guideline for whistle cessation, and will set out the framework for train whistle cessation in Canada. Therefore, it makes sense to us to ensure that any whistie cessation complies not only with the current Guidelines but also with the anticipated new regulatory regime. We have been trying to progress the District's request in the context of what the new Regulations are expected to look like. However, the draft Regulations remain in flux, and given the uncertainty that will exist until they are finalized, we are unable to pursue this course of action any further. For example, at this time we do not know whether the new Regulations will permit night-time whistle cessations, or what the minimum safety standards for a whistle- cessation crossing will be. We anticipate that the new Regulations will address whistle cessations at private crossings such as the one at Mile 102.54 Cascade Subdivision, which crossing was included in your request. While we do not know at this time what criteria may be established under the new Regulations for whistle cessations at private crossings, in our view train whistles should continue to be used at this crossing until appropriate safety upgrades are made. Logging trucks waiting to enter the Lougheed Highway frequently have their trailer and loads overhanging or fouling the track at this crossing. Although the logging operation employs a flagperson from time to time to reduce the risk of collision at this crossing, as recently as November 2nd, 2001, a vehicle struck the crossing gate, resulting in the gate falling across the tracks and being run over by a commuter train. This incident required that we dispatch a crew to repair the gate and special protective 2 measures to be taken. Most significantly, this incident inconvenienced over 300 passengers and created a potential threat to their safety. In summary, we must regretfully advise you that until the new Regulations are finalized, we will be unable to progress the District's request any further. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at (403) 319-7562. Yours truly, A "90 ON wh. 4 VO I WIN ~- AN.

SUBJECT: Train Whistle Cessation Application Update Purpose: To provide an update on negotiations with CP Rail and Transport Canada on the Districts application for a train whistle ban at 8 crossings in Maple Ridge and the effect on that application by potential changes to the Railway Safety Act. Recommendation(s): For Information Only Background: The District of Maple Ridge has initiated a whistle cessation application with the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) and Transport Canada. The application is under consideration for all trains, between the hours of 22:00 and 05:30 at the following locations: - Maple Meadows Way (Crossing #1 at mile 106.20) • 203 Street (at mile 105.61) - Lorne Avenue (Crossing #2 at mile 105.32) - Ditton Street (Crossing #3 at mile 105.21) - 224 Street (Crossing #4 at mile 102.80) - private crossing - logging operation (Crossing #4a at mile 102.50) - River Road (Crossing #5 at mile 101.47) - 240 Street (Crossing #6 at mile 99.76) CPR has indicated approval in principle at Maple Meadows Way, Lorne Ave. (subject to the District continuing to trim back brush to allow clear sight lines to-crossing signals), 224 0' St. and River Road. The other crossings will require some negotiations and have included the following considerations: 203rd Street Now that construction of the new crossing is complete, we have initiated a separate application for the cessation of whistles at this crossing. Ditton Street There is a bad curve at this crossing. CPR would prefer to close it and until such time, will continue to whistle here. It is the District staffs' position that closure of this crossing must be evaluated as part of a long term strategy to address at-grade crossings which must be completed in consultation with CPR and Transport Canada outside the whistle cessation application. Private Crossing (Anderson Pacific Forest Products logging operation) The owners of the logging operation have agreed to restrict their hours of operation to 05:00 - 22:00, seven days per week. As a result, CPR will approve whistle cessation at this crossing. 240 Street CPR has expressed concerns with very heavy vehicle use and a tendency to run the gates. The District of Maple Ridge is agreeable to constructing medians at this location to increase safety and CPR would consider whistle cessation upon completion of these improvements. District staff are estimating the work required, costs and timeline for completion.. In addition, appropriate "no whistling" signage will have to be developed and approved. It should also be noted that, despite the whistle ban, the train engineer still has the option to use the whistle if there are unsafe conditions at a crossing. Intergovernmental Issues: UBCM has recently circulated a paper outlining concerns about the proposed changes to the Railway Safety Act. The changes would certainly elevate the standards for grade level railway crossings by requiring detailed, regular safety assessments by qualified inspectors. Mr. Ivan Mann, from Transport Canada, advises that they hope to have the new Act in place by year end. However, he is quick to point out that they have not even done a cost assessment yet. He also advised that areas that have a whistle ban in place before the new Act is passed, can continue with that ban. If upgrades to the new standard are required at grade level crossings, in order to continue to qualify for the ban, then we would have five years to do that work. He recommends proceeding with our application under the current Railway Safety Act and whistle cessation guidelines. Mr. Lyle Berge, from CP Rail, is fairly confident that our crossings will meet the new standard. However, to confirm that, he will arrange for a re-inspection of all the crossings (including 203 St.) on June 13 and 14, 2001. Citizen/Customer Implications: We continue to get a number of complaints from residents regarding the use of train whistles, particularly at night. Most of the complaints have come from the Haney By-pass area but, with the opening of the new crossing at 203 St., complaints from the Hammond area are increasing. Financial Implications: CPR requires that the District of Maple Ridge share the additional liability insurance costs incurred by them as a result of approving whistle cessation. This would amount to $300 per year for each crossing ($2,400 annually). Our insurance provider, MIA, advises that we are covered under our liability policy with them but a significant claim could impact our premium. Additional costs would be incurred to install the meridians at the 240 St. crossing. Alternatives: • any combination of crossings with and without the ban could be accommodated. Therefore, the District could choose, for example, to not complete the upgrades at the 240 St. crossing or to close the Ditton St. crossing. • Pursue an application for an all-day, every day whistle ban (this would be a very difficult process because of the strong stance the commuter train operators have taken against banning whistles). • Withdraw the application entirely and allow the trains to continue using the whistles. Summary: Upon receiving the results of the crossing inspections and the estimates for installation of meridians at the 240 St. crossing, staff will report to Council for direction or formal consideration of a resolution for the conditional ban of train whistles.

SUBJECT: SYNTHETIC TURF FIELD FEES & CHARGES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Parks and Leisure Services staff have recently held discussions with executive members of the football and soccer clubs, to discuss the implementation of a user fee that would fund the replacement of the synthetic field surface now being installed at the Samuel Robertson Secondary School after a period of approximately ten to twelve years of use. Various options were discussed including hourly rates to use the field as well as various per player fees that could be charged on an annual basis. The annual fee per player appears to be favored by the club representatives, with different rates for youth and adults. RECOMMENDATION(S): That an annual user fee per player of $10 for youth (non-profit regular) and $20 for adults (non-profit regular), registered in clubs or teams using the new synthetic sports field at Samuel Robertson Secondary School (payable on completion of registration) be approved. And that the fees for the first season be applied at a 50% rate as the clubs have already set their registration rates for the 2004/2005 season and further, that a synthetic sport field reserve fund be established with these fees retained to cover the cost of turf replacement. That the rates for other fees and charges other than the above categories be developed in conjunction with the sports field fees and charges review later in 2004 That Recreation Facility Fees1Tiinding Bylaw #6254-2004 be given fIecoñd and third readings. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Planning meetings with the Golden Ears United Soccer Club, Meadow Ridge Football Club, Alouette Soccer Club and Pitt Meadows Soccer Club, have been held periodically since the initial concept of this project in 2002. The purpose was to discuss site selection, field surface selection and management of the field once installation is complete. During this process the club representatives suggested they did not see any benefit in initiating a separate society to manage this facility and suggested Parks and Leisure Services staff should manage this facility together with the other sports fields in the community. They also agreed with the concept of a user fee to cover the cost of replacing the turf. This point is referenced in minutes and correspondence from the clubs. G:\OlOO Administration\0570 Council Meetings\Maple Ridge Council\Synthetic Field Fees and Charges 2.doc #1 q51 Hourly Rates A spreadsheet containing the hourly rates charged by other communities in the lower mainland has been attached for information. (Appendix 1). If the Samuel Robertson field were to be rented out by the hour with a view to recovering the cost of replacing the surface in ten years, the hourly rate would be approximately $40.69 per hour based on an annual interest accrual of 3%. The rate would be slightly lower at $32.87 if it was planned to replace the surface material after twelve years. This, of course, assumes that we would be able to sell a minimum of 75% of the available field time (1,300 hrs per year). Allocation of Field Time In the interests of consistency it has been agreed that the Parks and Leisure Services staff would look after the coordination of the allocation of time on the new Synthetic Sport field. This will allow for any minor revisions to the schedule to be included and to allow for changes in registration numbers or additional special events. It is proposed that the field time be allocated generally equal to the registration numbers for each of the clubs. For example a larger club such as Golden Ears United Soccer Club would have a greater percentage of time allocated to them with over 2,000 players (57% of field time) than Pitt Meadows Soccer Club who have less than 1,000 players (23% of field time). Slight modifications to the percentage of time allocation would have to be made for smaller groups to ensure that they had a reasonable or minimum number of hours of access to this resource (see: Appendix 2 and 3). Use of the Synthetic Sport Field It is very important that the cost to access to this facility be kept at a level that is affordable to the clubs and players involved. Some of the discussions that have already taken place suggest that players may avoid using this facility unless absolutely necessary in order to avoid paying expensive hourly rates. Staff suggest that the implementation of the annual per player fee would give each of the clubs significantly more flexibility in scheduling the use of this facility for games, training and skill development camps, would maximize field use and reduce the pressure of over use on our grass fields. b) Business Plan/Financial Implications: The District of Maple Ridge and School District No. 42 have jointly funded this project together with a very generous donation from the Haney Rotary Club. The costs for the project are within-the. proposed-budget The maintenance costs for this facility have been incorporated into the operating budget. At this time, the sport clubs are not being asked to contribute to the costs of maintaining this field (which is consistent with our practice on other fields). Instead, the clubs are being asked to contribute annually to a fund that will ensure that the field can be resurfaced when its condition has deteriorated, which is likely to be approximately ten to twelve years from now. G:\OIOO Administration\0570 Council Meetings\Maple Ridge Council\Synthetic Field Fees and Charges 2.doc #2 c) Strategic Alignment: The provision of appropriate park spaces contributes significantly to the livability of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. The use of artificial turf is one means by which the need for sport fields can be met in the most efficient maimer possible. CONCLUSIONS: Maximizing the use of this facility will very likely lead to the improved condition of sand based divisional fields throughout Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. This will increase the likelihood that the divisional fields will last for an entire soccer/football season without having to be closed prior to the end of the playing season due to poor field conditions.

SUBJECT: MAPLE RIDGE TENNIS CLUB EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The attached correspondence has been received from the Tennis Club requesting a change in priorities with respect to the development of tennis facilities in Maple Ridge. In particular the Club would like the 2004 funding slated for development of four courts at the Maple Ridge Secondary School/Merkley Park site to be redirected to enhance the Thomas Haney courts. In order of priority they would like to see the installation of lighting and two additional courts at the Thomas Haney site. The Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows Parks & Leisure Services Commission has considered and endorses the following recommendation. RECOMMENDATION(S): That a portion of the funding scheduled for use at Maple Ridge Secondary SchoolJMerkley Park site for the development of tennis courts be redirected to provide lighting for the Thomas Haney tennis court complex, with the remainder left for the development of a minimum of two courts at the Maple Ridge SecondaryfMerkley Park location. DISCUSSION: Background Context: Funding has been set aside in the 2004 Maple Ridge capital budget for the development of four tennis courts and a lacrosse box at Maple Ridge Secondary School once the old wing of the school is demolished. The four tennis courts are intended to replace the four courts which were located elsewhere on the site and removed from service when the school was redeveloped. Desired Outcome(s): (whenever possible) The desired outcome is the most cost-effective approach at providing services already identified in the 2004 business and capital plan. Strategic Alignment (as appropriate): The provision of recreation facilities for an active community is part of creating a safe and livable community which is fundamental to both communities' strategic plans. - d) Citizen/Customer Implications: Staff met recently with the Maple Ridge Tennis Club and the Seniors Tennis Club to discuss priorities and the best use of available resources. Following the meeting the Club forwarded the attached correspondence and recommendation. --I, G:\0100 Administration\0570 Council Meetings\Maple Ridge Council\Maple Ridge Tennis Club.doc #1 C/5-Z The Club would like all of the resources reallocated to the Thomas Haney site to maximize use of the existing courts (by lighting the area) and to better accommodate club play and tournaments (by increasing the number of courts). The Club has identified this location as the primary location for tennis in the community and has committed themselves to raising additional funding to establish a small clubhouse. The neighbourhood adjacent to the Thomas Haney Courts has already gone through a public process in advance of the Lawn Bowling facility lighting having been installed. Installing additional lighting in this area for tennis should be relatively straightforward. e) Interdepartmental Implications: N/A 1) Business Plan/Financial Implications: Reallocating some resources to light the Thomas Haney courts makes some sense since five lit courts will provide greater capacity during the primary hours of use (for a relatively small amount of money) than one or two additional surfaces. Having said this it is felt that some of this resource is needed to serve the community surrounding the Maple Ridge Secondary SchoolfMerkley Park site. Since tennis is primarily a drop in sport the relatively equal distribution of courts throughout the community is felt to be appropriate. Multiple court facilities currently exist at the following locations: Pitt Meadows Athletic Park and Secondary School, Westview Secondary, Thomas Haney, Brickwood Park Garibaldi Secondary. A few additional single courts are located in neighbourhood parks (Edith McDermott, Kin Park, Thornhill Park, Hammond Park, Mitchell Park, etc.). Once the lighting at Thomas Haney is accomplished a minimum of two courts and possibly three courts should be able to be achieved at the MRSS location with the remaining funding. This, coupled with an adjacent lacrosse box should assist the School in meeting its Physical Education requirements as well as addressing growing community needs. Policy Implications: N/A Alternatives: The primary alternative is to stick with the original plan to construct four courts at the IvIRSS/Merldey Park site. This is not recommended since that would not achieve as great a benefit for the community. G:\OlOO Administration\0570 Council Meetings\Maple Ridge Council\Maple Ridge Tennis Club.doc #2 CONCLUSIONS: Consultation with the community suggests the Municipality would provide more benefits to residents by spending some of the funds allocated for tennis courts at MRSS on lighting the Thomas Haney tennis court site. Retaining some funding for two or three courts at MRSS is also recommended to ensure the fair distribution of the resource throughout the community. 4pprofred by: Mike Murray, enera (Manager I Community D elop e rks & Recreation Services - Concurrence: J.L.

Dear Mike and Craig, This letter is written as a follow-up to the meeting held at your office on April 6, 2004. We would like to thank you and the Municipality for taking the time to meet with members of our Club. We feel the meeting was both informative and encouraging. We are very excited with the possibility of updating tennis opportunities in Maple Ridge and appreciate the chance to be part of these changes. As you request, we recently held a Club meeting to update our members and to get their input/ideas on what they feel is needed to enhance tennis opportunities in Maple Ridge. After considerable discussions, we feel the following represents our suggestions, in order of priority. Lights for the courts at the 232d location. This would allow us to host Open Tournaments , similar to those currently held in other local Municipalities. These tournaments generate revenue not only for the hosting Club, but also for local facilities. The lights would also extend playing hours for the public, thereby encouraging physical fitness for all. - Two additional courts built at 232" location, including a two-way concrete hitting wall. As public awareness grows, the need for additional courts would also grow. - At least two courts built at Maple Ridge Senior Secondary School, or another nearby location. • £>. Page 2 With regards to the need for an actual Club House at the 232" location, it was felt that although this is definitely a "dream" for our Tennis Club, it was decided that Club members should be responsible for the fund-raising for such an endeavor. The members feel that the money, which is presently available through the Municipality, should be used to enhance tennis opportunities for everyone in the community. Our Club's Opening Day is scheduled for Saturday, April 24th and the general public is welcome. Brochures were handed out last weekend in the community, promoting the Opening. We are working towards promoting tennis both competitively and socially. We hope to attract the youth as well as seniors from Maple Ridge to this sport, by offering tennis camps and mini- tournaments. We've enclosed a few of our brochures for your perusal. Again, we'd like to thank you for taking the time to meet with us, but more importantly for allowing us the opportunity to be part of these exciting changes. Tennis is an awesome sport. It is not age restricted. It promotes physical fitness, while at the same time offers everyone, no matter what the age, an opportunity to have fun in Maple Ridge. We look forward to working with you in the near future. Please do not hesitate to contact us, should you require additional information. Yours truly, Marilyn Lelond, President Malcolm Lissone, Vice-President Phone (604) 467-6221 - Phone (604)467-0023 MISSION STATEMENT - Maple Ridge Tennis Club enthusiastically strives to increase participation in tennis throughout the community. I7 4 .5i -O/ CORPORATION OF THE MAPLE RIDGE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: Her Worship Mayor Kathy Morse DATE: July 5, 2004 and Members of Council FILE NO: FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C.O.W. SUBJECT: ALBION PARK MASTER PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: A public process has been undertaken to complete a Master Plan for Albion Park (attached). The intent of this memorandum is to present the final draft of the plan and to consider adoption. This is required in advance of development of any of the components anticipated for the site. RECOMMENDATION(S): That the Albion Park Master Plan be adopted. DISCUSSION: Parks and Leisure Services Staff have solicited input from the neighborhood as well as stakeholders such as the Alouette Field Naturalists, Haney Horsemen, SD42, Mountain Bike Club, dog walker and joggers, through a series of public meetings. As this is a community park, Staff suggested some components for the consideration of the people who attended the open house meetings. After the first meeting interested individuals were asked to volunteer as steering committee members, who then worked together to incorporate the information provided from the attendee comment sheets into the plan. We were very fortunate in this case to have a very diverse group of individuals who volunteered for the committee and have taken considerable effort to make sure that they considered the opinions and views of everyone who contributed to this process. Background Context: Additional input was sought from the RCMP as well as parks maintenance staff members who are familiar with the site, and discussed the site suitability of some of the proposed activities. The plan as presented is considered by the steering committee as being an accurate reflection of the needs identified by those attending the meetings although some neighbours clearly did not want some of the components, particularly the mountain bike skills course. Desired Outcome(s): The proposed park components include: • A mountain bike skill development area • A water play park • Sport courts G:\OlOO Administration\0570 Council Meetings\Maple Ridge Council\Albion Park Master PIan.doc #1 753 • A perimeter walking trail • Internal walking trails relocated to less sensitive area of the park • A small section of equestrian trail to provide a connection to the ridge trail • Retrofit of the existing soccer field. • Removing the existing ball diamond and moving games to the Samuel Robertson site • A caretaker residence • Parking for up to 150 vehicles (if required) • Retain as much of the forest area as possible by placing the above components carefully • Site plan attached (Appendix B) The Mountain Bike Club is very anxious to get approval on this project, as they are ready to go to work with volunteer parties to establish the bike skill development component of this plan, which of course cannot begin until the plan has been adopted and an appropriate agreement entered into with the Club. Strategic Alignment: Albion Park has been identified as a community level park site for some time in the Parks Master Plan and is intended to serve a relatively wide service radius roughly equivalent to the service area of a typical secondary school. Community parks are often developed adjacent to secondary schools. The results of this site master planning exercise reflect the changing nature of recreational activities that are focussing much more than before on individual drop in activities (such as skate boarding, mountain bike riding and walking on nature trails). The intense use of spray pools elsewhere in our park system suggest a strong need for an additional location to accommodate the demand which occurs particularly in the summer months. These are important amenities which support family recreation in relatively close proximity to residential areas. This design also reflects the need to retain as much of the tree cover and natural area as possible. The adjacent development of the artificial turf sportfield at the Samuel Robertson site has permitted these other uses to predominate the Albion Park plan whereas other community/secondary school sites have focussed much more on sport field development. CitizenlCustomer Implications: Although there were a few concerns expressed about some of the proposed components the majority of the feedback from the final open house where the committee had an opportunity to share their work with the public was very positive. A summary of the comment sheets has been attached for information. (Appendix A) Interdepartmental Implications: Information collected during this process regarding traffic, road and sidewalk suggestions has been forwarded to the Engineering Department for their information and follow up as resources permit. I) Business Plan/Financial Implications: An estimated budget of approximately $1 .75m is suggested to complete a project of this size, however it is anticipated that this would be done in phases over the next 5 to 10 years. Some of the smaller components such as the horse trail and bike trail may be completed through volunteers and some local sponsorship. G:\O100 Administration\0570 Council Meetings\Maple Ridge Council\Albion Park Master Plan.doc #2 Approximate park development costs Play field upgrade $ 250,000 Water Park $ 350,000 Caretaker unit $ 120,000 Skateboard park $ 450,000 Sport Courts $ 95,000 Upgrade existing Parking $ 33,000 New parking $ 81,000 Trail upgrades $ 170,000 Bridge $ 50,000 Design costs $ 140,000 Total $ 1339.000 Development cost charges will be available for approximately 50% of the work whereas the remainder will need to be funded through general revenue funding, grants or fund raising. Staff will review this project alongside other proposed projects anticipated over the next five years to determine its appropriate placement within the five-year capital program. CONCLUSIONS: This park site has great potential to provide a wide variety of park experiences for the entire community, as some of the ideas and suggestions that have been incorporated will make this a very popular destination park.

Sheet 3 I think we should have a bike park in Maple Ridge because then me and other mountain bikers would have a place to ride that is not too far from anywhere and that does not have to do with the "Uptown riding". I would be stoked if we had a bike park in Maple Ridge, it would also give us mountain bikers a place to have small camps or "dirt jump jams" Sheet 4 The bike park is a need. The skaters and BMXers have the Greg Moore Youth Centre and the mountain bikers have no specific area for themselves. Sheet 5 Bike parks plans look good Larger trail network for biker to incorporate school race series Sheet 6 Something totally needed in Maple Ridge The skateboarders have all their stuff, its time for something for the bikers. There would be lots of guys doing it and that what Maple Ridge needs. Sheet 7 1. Something totally needed in Maple ridge is a bike park. Sheet 8 Anxious to see bike park go I am a professional mountain bike racer and await the day that Maple Ridge will support this area for riders of all types, from all areas of the GVRD. Sheet 9 The city should make more parking on 104th and site where SPCA is. There should not be a parking lot across from the school and skate park (skatepark should not be there but at the ice rink). - Extend the bike park into the skate park area I have no problem with sharing my path with the horses. 1 of3 I I Sheet 10 Generally happy with the plan. As a new resident in the new development in the 243rd & ior' Ave area, I'm sure may local residents would very much like a stroller friendly path up to the soccer field/playground to be done soon. Sheet 11 Good idea and looking forward to riding there with my kids Good place to get the teenage kids off the street Sheet 12 I am opposed to mountain bike trails within this park. This park is the only remaining green space in an area that is becoming high density housing. Any speed-related activity within the park, especially the forested area, will prevent many, many people from enjoying the park as a park, by which I mean a place to walk, listen to birds, and enjoy nature. That is what people need. If bikes are allowed in the park, you may as well rename it the Albion Athletics Training Course. For that same reason, I am also opposed to putting a skateboard area within the park—this type of activity, which is also very noisy, seems far more compatible with the Albion Sports Fields, or perhaps behind the new school, near the new artificial turf field that is being built, but not within the one remaining natural refuge where families can engage in non-organized activities, such as simply walking in a quiet natural setting. Sheet 13 - Taken from a Letter I applaud the effort to expand the use that can be made of this wonderful park. I do, however, have a major concern about the current proposal. Specifically, I strongly urge you to reconsider including a mountain bike course within this park. This park is being used more and more by families with very young children. This is hardly surprising, given the nature of the housing that surrounds this park. The children and their families stroll through the park paths, exploring the flora and fauna. I myself have walked the paths for years, and can tell you that, since the Jayman Development on 1 02' Ave was finished, I now always meet other people who are also enjoying their walk (or jog) thorugh the woods. I see old people, middle aged people, and lots and lots of kids on these paths! This park is a jewel, and it's terrific to see so many people discovering this wonderful forest. But such pedestrian use of the forest paths cannot safely be combined with trail biking. I realize that the bikes are to have their own designated path, however, anyone who considers the matter will surely acknowledge that some bikers will yield to temptation to use a different path, and it's a given that children, especially younger ones, will wander from the pedestrian path onto the bike path. It is folly to assume that signs will solve this problem. Apart form the fact that signs will quickly be obscured with graffiti, and that many younger children can't read, signs are routinely disregarded (including the 30 km/h speed sign on 104th by the park). Just ask your colleagues in North Vancouver-they have experience trying to put bike paths near people paths, and it does not work! Since the proposed bike path and the pedestrian path intersects, there is no physical means of ensuring a total separation of these two incompatible activities. I therefore ask that the bike trail be scrapped, and that the park sticks to traditional park uses: fields for organized games, paths for walking and jogging. I do not have similar concerns about the equestrian trail, partly because there are very few horses in these parts anymore, but also because riders on such paths tend to walk or jog, not gallop. Please don't misunderstand: I regard trail biking as a fun and healthy activity, but it is one that must be practiced on paths that are not shared with pedestrians. The proposed bike path is far too short to remain a challenge for trail bikers month after month-if bikes are permitted onto those trails, you can be assured that they will stray onto the pedestrian trails. If mountain biking is allowed in the Albion Park, it will not be long until somebody is seriously injured as a result. Most (not all) trail bikers will arrive not by foot or bike, but by vehicle. There must surely be other areas, perhaps further east, where such a path could be put for that 2 of3 ) sport. Even if that isn't the case, the mere fact that some people want to use the Albion Park for mountain biking does not, of course, mean that it should be used for the purpose. The Albion Park simply does not offer miles of rugged, wilderness area for mountain biking. Stanley Park also has many miles of foot paths, but trail bikes do not share those paths, and for good reason! It would be a hug mistake to permit that particular use in the Albion Park. Although my main focus is safety, there are well-known ecological concerns that arise from mountain bikes, though I'm sure your experts and biking enthusiasts could minimize the environmental damage. But there is no safe way of combining this particular sport within a park that is used, with increasing frequency, by pedestrians. The foot traffic in the park has already increased tremendously this past year, and that's even before the 25 new houses under \construction on 104th are built, and before the planned 170(?) home development on Industrial Avenue gets built. I have two other comments about the proposal: Firstly, I urge the Parks department to make the traffic department aware of the lack of a road shoulder on 1040' Avenue, between the existing parking lot and the proposed parking lot. This is a big safety concern, especially the stretch of road that crosses the creek. There iS no shoulder where one can safely walk along that stretch. Secondly, I urge you to carefully consider the issue of vandalism that I believe will become a big issue, in the area of the proposed parking lot. I and one other neighbour have been diligently locking the parking lot gate every evening and opening it in the morning - we have done this for some 15 years now, following the installation of the gate. Since doing that, the number of evenings that we had to ask the RCMP to attend at the Albion Park has gone way down. I won't bore you with what used to go on in the parking lot before the gate was installed, but believe me, it is work avoiding!. (Intoxicated folks setting fire to picnic tables, smashing the roof of the BBQ area, setting stolen vehicles on fire, are a few examples). I am not prepared to volunteer to close and open a second gate further up the road. But please don't think the police has the manpower to address this issue, as it is a problem 7 nights a week, 365 days per year. Unless you install a gate, and find somebody willing to open and close it, the park will be perpetually littered with broken beer bottles, used condoms, syringes, and worse. Sheet 14 Caretaker needed, potential for many problems with high school, added parking with so much family housing now in the area I feel this should be a neighbourhood park not a "Destination "Par New parking off 102 will destroy some beautiful trees - other options? What do we need so much parking— 150 spaces. Preserve as much natural as possible-these huge "ticky tacky" developments at Albion look like a science fiction nightmare- no green spaces - all the wildlife pushed out and we have one small park that is now to become a "destination" park? (where do the birds etc go) Why can't the skateboard park be in the high school grounds Need inventory of trees, wildlife Bike trails, perimeter trail excellent ideas 3 of3 CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE MAPLE RIDGE TO: Her Worship Mayor Kathy Morse DATE: July 26, 2004 and Members of Council FILE NO: RZ/036103 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: COUNCIL SUBJECT: Final Reading: Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6143-2003 12221 240 ST EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Bylaw No. 6 143-2003 has been considered by Council and at Public Hearing and subsequently granted 2" and 3 d reading. The applicant has requested that final reading be granted. The purpose of the rezoning is to permit a subdivision creating 14 lots not less than 557 sq.m.. RECOMMENDATION: That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6143-2003 be reconsidered and adopted. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Council considered this rezoning application at a Public Hearing held on August 19, 2003. On August 26, 2003 Council granted 2"" and 3 reading to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No.6143-2003 with the stipulation that the following conditions be addressed prior to final reading: Registration of a Rezoning Development Agreement including the deposit of security as outlined in the Agreement; Road dedication as required; Inclusion of the site into Sewer Area "A"; and Park dedication as required. The following applies to the above: Further review of the servicing requirements for this rezoning application has determined that all servicing required for this land use change will be achieved asa condition of the subdivision application. It will not be necessary for a rezoning development agreement to be registered as a condition of this land use change. Road dedication will be required on Abernethy Way and 240th Street. The Applicant has submitted a plan of subdivision that indicates the rezoning road dedication and that which is required for the subdivision of land. A letter of undertaking from the owners solicitor has been submitted indicating the order in which documents will be registered to insure the requirement of road dedication for rezoning will occurwith the registration ofthe subdivision plans.

MAYOR CLERK -~:Zoo -01i CORPORATION OF THE MAPLE RIDGE DISTRICT OFMAPLE RIDGE TO: Her Worship Mayor Kathy Morse DATE: July 26, 2004 and Members of Council FILE NO: E03 -010-053 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: COUNCIL SUBJECT: Rockridge Phase 1 Water Reservoir Design and Construction EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: To award to the low bidder, the water reservoir design/build contract for provision of improved water supply, reliability and fire protection in an emerging development sub-area (171 M Pressure Zone) of Silver Valley. RECOMMENDATION: That the Water Reservoir Design/Build construction, contract be awarded to Western Tank and Lining Ltd., for the total tendered sum of $363,188.00 (including GST), and that the Mayor and the Municipal Clerk be authorized to sign the contract. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Rockridge Estates in the Silver Valley development area was started in 1997 and has gone through a number of phased expansions since that date. A pump station located at 236 Street and 136 Avenue is servicing the area on a continuous pumping basis without the benefit of a water reservoir. Development using this methodology is constrained to approximately 500 units. The addition of this reservoir will provide needed storage capacity to facilitate pending and future developments in the area. Operational benefits will also accrue in that maintenance can be performed on the distribution system without interrupting customer service or system integrity. Maintenance can beperformed on the distribution system without interrupting service to customers at higher elevations. The need for this facility has been confirmed through a consultant assessment undertaken as part of the District's Water Supply Master Plan. Subsequent capital waterworks projects are scheduled for Silver Valley that require this water reservoir. As the area develops further, a second reservoir would be added at another location as identified by the Master Plan, thus providing adequate protection and fire storage for proposed high density, commercial and institutional demands as well as, providing operational and maintenance benefits. 00 6;;~ Citizen/Customer Implications: The Rockridge Estates service area will benefit from this project as will several proposed developments from the water supply, reliability and fire protection perspectives. Business Plan/Financial Implications: Tender Analysis Tenders for the project "Rockridge Phase 1 Water Reservoir Design And Construction" were submitted as follows (all prices include provisional amount of $10,000.00): Contract GST Total Western Tank and Lining Ltd. $ 339,428.00 $ 23,760.00 $ 363,188.00 Stanco Projects Ltd. $ 406,500.00 $ 28,455.00 $ 434,955.00 The District's Engineering and Design Consultant (Infrastructure Systems Ltd.) did an analysis of the tender results. This analysis found that the best value for dollars expended by the District would be achieved by awarding the contract to Western Tank & Lining Ltd. Budget Analysis The 2004 Capital Works Business Plans identifies the projects and project funding as follows: Project No. Project Name Funding Source Budgeted Committed 3003 Rockridge Water Reservoir DCC / WAT UTIL $ 200,000.00 $ 15,000.00 3001 236 Avenue Reservoir PH2 DCC / WAT U1TL $ 373 .000.00 $ 5.000.00 Total Available Budget $573,000.00 Financial Implications: Of the two tenders submitted, the low tender of $363,188.00 is within the approved budget. Additional funding for on-going consulting services and additional in-house works will be accommodated within the approved budget allocations. Alternatives: There is no alternative to provision of improved water supply and required storage facilities in this area if development activity is to be supported. Funds already expended on the project for the recently constructed access road and watermain to the reservoir will be unusable if the reservoir isn't brought on- stream. CONCLUSIONS: The contract is within the approved budget allocation. Construction work will be scheduled as follows: Contract Award July27, 2004 Construction Start September18, 2004 Substantial Completion November26, 2004 Some routine delays have been accounted for in the schedule and the Contractor is tentatively available to commence the construction on Monday September 18, 2004. With no unexpected delays, the work is expected to be complete by end of November 2004. However, the contractor advises that the purchase and delivery of some components could potentially add about twelve weeks to the above schedule. It is expected that such a short delay would not have serious impact on the planned development area servicing requirements. by: , AScT Technologist Reviewed by: /MIdrew Wood, MEng., PEng. fgp 6,"Municipal Engineer PMP Development Services Concurrence: J.L.
