MEETING DECORUM
Council would like to remind all people present tonight that serious issues are decided at
Council meetings which affect many people's lives. Therefore, we ask that you act with
the appropriate decorum that a Council Meeting deserves. Commentary and
conversations by the public are distracting. Should anyone disrupt the Council Meeting in
any way, the meeting will be stopped and that person's behavior will be reprimanded.
Note: This Agenda is also posted on the Municipal Web Site at www.mapleridge.org
The purpose of a Council meeting is to enact powers given to Council by using bylaws or

MAPLE RIDGE
TO: Her Worship Mayor Kathy Morse DATE: November 10, 2004

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W
SUBJECT: First Reading
Bylaw Nos. 6272 - 2004 and 6273 - 2004
25274 Bosonworth Ave and 25183 108 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The application to rezone the properties at 25274 Bosonworth Avenue and 25183 108 Avenue
involves a number of issues with regard to Official Community Plan policies. As a result, the
evaluation of the application is focused on issues and implications associated with the policies of the
Official Community Plan.
The applicant is requesting the rezoning of a portion of the property at 25274 Bosonworth Avenue and
25183 108 Avenue from A-2 (Upland Agricultural) to RG-2 (Suburban Residential Strata) zone to
allow the development of 114 single family bare land strata lots. Specifically, the proposal assumes
that a density bonus will be granted for the portion of the lot designated Extension to Forest Reserve
in the Official Community Plan. However, the density bonus is not supportable as the resulting
density is in excess of that allowed under the Suburban Residential designation, is out of context with
the surrounding suburban residential area and does not meet the requirements of Official Community
Plan Policy 21.
The applicants are also proposing to provide full municipal services to the property, which does not
align with the principles of the Urban Area Boundary and Suburban Residential designation as
identified and defined in the Official Community Plan.
A previous application to rezone the property from A-2 (Upland Agricultural) to RG-2 (Suburban
Residential Strata) to permit development of 139 bareland strata lots was submitted in 1992 and given
Third reading on June 211993. This application was reviewed against the policies of the 1989
Official Community Plan (Bylaw No. 4167-1989) and received two extensions. In 2001, the applicant
requested a third, two-year extension to the rezoning bylaw which required an amendment to the
District's Policy and Procedures Bylaw to enable the third extension. However, Council did not direct
the amendment to the Policy and Procedures Bylaw and as a result, all readings of Bylaw No. 4890 -
1993 given for that application (RZ-37-92) were rescinded by Council on May 22, 2001.
While the current application incorporates many of the elements of the 1992 application, development
issues and Official Community Plan policies have changed. It is therefore recommended that the
application be denied.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That, acknowledging that Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6272
- 2004 has been considered in conjunction with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste
Management Plan, Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6272 - 2004
be denied;
That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6273 - 2004 be denied.

b) Project Description:
The application proposes a total of 114 single family residential strata lots, ranging in size from
1246 m2 (13,412 sq. ft) to 6806 m2 (73,261. sq. ft.) under the RG-2 (Suburban Residential Strata)
zone. The subject property is located on the north-west side of the Thornhill Urban Reserve area,
and can be accessed from Bosonworth Avenue on the north and 108 th Avenue to the south. The
-2-
proposal incorporates a series of private roads, accessed from a public road that connects 108 th
Avenue in the south to Bosonworth Avenue in the north.
The applicants are requesting that the proposed residential units be created as a bare land strata
development, under the provisions of Policies 21 and 28 of the Official Community Plan. Those
policies are as follows:
21 Policy: Maple Ridge will consider innovative site development proposals and density
bonusing to accommodate unique site characteristics, environmental sensitivities or
amenities.
28 Policy: Bare Land Strata title development will be considered for all residential densities
where:
Alternative development forms will provide the flexibility required to protect
significant natural amenities. This will typically occur with residential densities
at or lower than 15 units per net hectare, accommodated by the RG, RG-2 and
RG-3 zones.
The form of development is detached housing within the RM-1 (Townhouse
Residential) zone, as a means ofproviding choice in tenure.
The property is currently forested and slopes in a north-westerly direction at or above a 15%
gradient. Approximately one-half of the property has slopes in excess of 25%, as indicated by the -
slope gradient plan submitted by the applicant. A copy of the proposed plan of development is
attached for information.
Background
A previous application to rezone the property from A-2 (Upland Agricultural) to RG-2 (Suburban
Residential Strata) to permit the development of 139 bare land strata lots was submitted in 1992
and was given third reading on June 211993. Final approval was contingent on the following 10
conditions:
Park dedication.
A road dedication plan for 112 Avenue [Bosonworth Ave.] and the adjacent lands for the 108th Avenue connection.
Approval of the sewage disposal system.
Registration of a Rezoning Development Agreement.
Security for Rezoning Development Agreement.
Registration of an Amenity Restrictive convenant.
Inclusion of the site as a Development Permit Area in Schedule "A & H" of the Official
Community Plan.
Amendment to Schedule "B" of the Official Community Plan.
Registration of a covenant at the Land Title Office respective of the Development
Permit.
An Environmental Impact Study.
Included in the First Reading report of July 20, 1992, was an explanation of the RG zone [now RG-
2 and RG-3]. The zone was established in 1984 with the intent of providing the development of
detached, semi-detached or attached housing in non-urban areas of the District. At the time, the
development proposal called for a total of 139 bare land strata lots. However, in July 1992, the
-3-
Planning Committee expressed concern with the proposed density on the site, as it was felt to be
the start of urban development in the area.
In 2001, the Bylaw had received two extensions pursuant to the Policy and Procedures Bylaw and
was due to expire. At that time, the applicant requested a third extension which required Council
to direct an amendment to the Policy and Procedures Bylaw. After much consideration, the
Council of the day did not direct the amendment and all readings of Bylaw No. 4890 - 1993 were
rescinded on May 22, 2001.
Current Application
The current application was received in September 2003. The initial review outlined a number of
concerns and issues with respect to the Suburban Residential designation, proposed density and
servicing requirements. At that time, the application was not supportable and the applicant was
provided with the following two options:
withdraw the application and receive a full refund; or
revise the submission to respect the density designations afforded Suburban Residential
development under the Zoning Bylaw and Official Community Plans, and to not provide
the development with municipal sewer.
The applicants have chosen to proceed with the application and have submitted a revised lot layout
plan and additional supporting information which is dependent on the extension of municipal
sewer. They also assert that the number of units and requested density transfer from the lands
designated Extension to Forest Reserve in the Official Community Plan should be allowed and note
that the property was included in Sewer Area "A" in 1993. Additionally, the applicants are of the
opinion that servicing issues should not be considered as part of a land use decision.
A policy review of the application has identified a number of issues with respect to the intent of the
Suburban Residential and Extension to Forest Reserve designations in the Official Community
Plan; the proposed density of the development in the context of a suburban area of the District;
environmental impacts of the proposal related to watercourse protection and forest preservation;
and servicing.
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The property is currently designated One Family Suburban Residential (52%), Extension to Forest
Reserve (31%) and Park (17%) in the Official Community Plan (see attached Land Use
Designation map). The applicant will require an amendment to the Official Community Plan to
Forest Reserve and Park. Analysis of the development proposal has identified a range of potential
impacts on the surrounding area - both positive and negative. The relative merits of the proposal
are as follows:
• The portion of the site designated as Extension to Forest Reserve will be re-designated as
Forest Reserve, which will align that portion of the property identified as Green Zone to the
GVRD Livable Region Strategic Plan (LRSP). The intent of the Green Zone is to protect the
region's natural assets and help contain urban development. The designation to Forest
Reserve would retain that area as parkland and meet the goals of the LRSP.
-4-
• The portion of the property designated Suburban Residential was included in Sewer Area
"A" as part of the 1993 rezoning application (see the attached Land Use Designation map).
As a result, the applicant asserts they have already been given a degree of support for the
development proposal.
• In 1993, Council of the day gave third reading to a similar rezoning application to permit the
development of the property into 139 bare land strata lots.
The applicants assert that the Academy Heights and Cedar Ridge developments are examples
of other developments that support their application as each are designated Suburban
Residential in the Official Community Plan, are outside of the Urban Area Boundary and are
fully serviced with community water and sanitary sewer. In 1999, services were also
extended to Alico Estates, located in east Maple Ridge, in the absence of GVS&DD Board
approval.
Disadvantages and concerns with the application involve significant policy issues with the
proposed development with respect to suburban residential development as outlined in the Official
Community Plan. The apparent merits of the application are outweighed by compliance issues
with the following Official Community Plan policies:
Suburban Residential
Suburban Residential Development: suburban residential development refers to housing that is
typically serviced with water but not sewer. Densities range from 0.4 ha to 2.0 hectare lots.
As part of Official Community Plan policy changes in 1996, the definition of Suburban Residential
was amended to reference typical Suburban Residential development that is typically serviced with
water but not sewer. This change was to respond to known septic failures in certain suburban areas
of the municipality to address potential health issues. Prior to that change, the definition of
Suburban Residential did not include a reference to typical suburban development.
28 Policy: Bare Land Strata title development will be considered for all residential densities
where:
Alternative development forms will provide the flexibility required to protect
significant natural amenities. This will typically occur with residential densities at or
lower than 15 units per net hectare, accommodated by the RG, RG-2 and RG-3 zones.
The form of development is detached housing within the RM-] (Townhouse Residential
zone, as a means ofproviding choice in tenure.
The layout of the proposed 114 lots does not relate to the context of the surrounding suburban area
and is more reflective of an urban-scale level of development. The proposed lots are 1246 m 2
(13,412sq. ft) to 6806 m2 (73,261sq. ft.) in size and are to be fully serviced. It is very unlikely that
each of the proposed lots would support individual on-site septic services. The proposed 114 lots
are directly related to full servicing. The resulting density is approximately 5.1 units per net
hectare (upnha), which is double the allowable suburban density of 2.5 upnha as prescribed by the
Official Community Plan.
-5-
Density
The Official Community Plan includes two methods to increase the residential density on a
property. Density transfers are outlined in Part Three - Neighbourhood Plans for the Albion and
Silver Valley urban areas. Density bonus provisions are allowed under Policy 21 in Part Two -
Environment and Natural Resources.
Density Transfer
The Official Community Plan includes density transfer provisions for properties within the
Albion and Silver Valley urban areas. Section 3.1.3 outlines the conditions when a transfer of
density is allowed from an "unbuildable" area to a "buildable" area on the same site.
Unbuildable areas are defined as lands of high environmentally sensitive character and are
excluded from urban level development. An owner may be allowed to transfer up to 2.5 units per
net hectare of environmentally sensitive land to the developable portion of the site. The available
development potential can only be used on the same legal parcel and must not exceed the
maximum density as indicated. Density transfers for residential land use designations with base
densities below 5 units per net hectare, such as Suburban Residential were not entertained in the
density transfer provisions in the Official Community Plan. Since the site is not currently within
the Urban Area, and transfer on lands designated Suburban Residential is not discussed, the
policies do not apply.
Density Bonus
The applicants were advised that the Growth Area density transfer policies do not apply to their
site. As a result, they are requesting an increase in the allowable density based on the provisions
of Policy 21 which states:
21 Policy: Maple Ridge will consider innovative site development proposals and density
bonusing to accommodate unique site characteristics, environmental sensitivities or amenities.
As the lot layout pattern is almost identical to the development proposal submitted in 1992, it is
questionable whether it would be considered an innovative proposal as required under Policy 21.
The applicants have not identified the location of any unique site characteristics or environmental
sensitivities. Given the desire to fully service the site, it is highly questionable whether this
development could be considered Suburban Residential development, as described in the Official
Community Plan.
Should Council decide to permit a density bonus for this application based on Policy 21, a number
of items would require additional evaluation. These items would include, but are not limited to the
following:
• the public benefit of allowing the density bonus;
• establishment of the process and formula to determine the amount of density bonus that
could be allowed;
• determination of the process by which the environmentally important areas would be
maintaihed; and
• the implications and potential growth management impacts of allowing a density bonus
outside the Urban Area Boundary for the first time.
Servicing
The applicants have also identified Academy Heights, Cedar Ridge and AIlco Estates as examples
within the municipality they believe are of a similar nature to their proposal. Each of these
developments are outside the Urban Area Boundary, designated Suburban Residential in the
Official Community Plan and are fully serviced by community water and sanitary sewer. In some
cases, services were extended prior to the GVRD policy change in 1996 addressing the provision of
water and sewer outside of municipal servicing areas. It is important to note that the above cases
did not involve a transfer of density.
As a result of sewer extensions to developments located outside of the Urban Area, the District has
been working with the GVRD to align the servicing extensions with the GVS&DD Fraser Sewer
Area. Extension of new services outside of the Urban Area will require approval by the GVS&DD
Board and will need to be included in the Fraser Sewer Area Boundary. As noted above, the
Suburban Residential portion of the property was included in Sewer Area "A" in 1993. In
addition, it is anticipated that the extension of services to this area of the municipality would create
additional development pressures and requests for urban level services outside of the Urban Area
Boundary.
Official Community Plan Review
As part of the Official Community Plan Review currently underway, a residential lands capacity
study and an environmental discussion paper have been prepared to address future population
growth patterns and scenarios, and to outline potential environmental management goals. These
reports have recently been completed and will be presented to Council-in November 2004. The
reports will provide Council with growth management and environmental options and
recommendations. As part of the residential lands capacity study, the Thornhill Urban Reserve and
adjacent area will be evaluated as part of the growth management strategy to help determine the
extent of suburban development that is appropriate in the District.
Until the above noted studies and implications have been considered by Council, the overall
impacts of the application with respect to growth patterns and environmental management in the
municipality cannot be fully evaluatedproperly assessed.
Zoning Bylaw:
The applicant is requesting a rezoning of the property from A-2 Upland Agricultural to RG-2
Suburban Residential Strata to allow 114 single detached strata lots, located in the area currently
designated Suburban Residential. The RG-2 (Suburban Residential Zone) zone states that the
permitted net density of the development shall not exceed 2.5 units per hectare in areas designated
for Suburban Residential in the Official Community Plan. As part of the development proposal,
the applicant is requesting a 'transfer' of density from the area designated Extension to Forest
Reserve to the Suburban Residential area in an attempt to achieve a density of 5.1 units per net
hectare, double that which is allowed within the zone. The density, number of proposed bare land
strata lots and pattern are more reflective of one that would be located in a fully-serviced urban
area.
Section 406(1)(b) of the Zoning Bylaw states that no lot shall be created having a building area
with a slope greater that 25% gradient for each potential dwelling unit. Approximately 25 of the
proposed 114 bare land strata lots have a slope in excess of 25%.
-7-
Environmental Issues
Forest Assessment
The applicant has submitted a tree retention assessment report, prepared by Arbortech Consulting
Ltd. The report includes a detailed tree assessment and inventory and an evaluation of the
retention viability in the eight identified stands in the anticipated development area. Overall, the
report concludes that ". . .there appear to be good opportunities to incorporate tree preservation into
[the] proposed development as selected areas of dominant Cedar can be incorporated into the
overall design concept." It further concludes that providing a 'feathered' edge along the area
designated as Extension to Forest Reserve in the Official Community Plan could provide for the
retention of additional high quality trees and increase in the aesthetic value without compromising
the stability of the tree stand.
Watercourse Impacts
Schedule E of the Official Community Plan identifieswatercourses that require the issuance of a
Development Permit XXX for watercourse protection. Municipal mapping indicates the location
of a tributary of Kanaka Creek in the northwest corner of the property, south of Bosonworth
Avenue. However, the proposed lot layout plan submitted by the applicants does not align with the
streams verified between 2000 and 2003 in this area of the District. If the application proceeds,
issues surrounding watercourse impacts would need to be reviewed.
Development Permits:
The majority (83%) of the property is currently in Development Permit Area XIX (1) as identified
on Schedule H of the Official Community Plan. The objective of this development permit area is
to protect the natural environment. An amendment to Schedule H of the Official Community Plan
may be required for the proposed residential development prior to final approval.
A development permit will be required under Development Permit Area XXX Watercourses
Designated for Special Treatment, addressing the setback and watercourse protection mechanisms
within the requested RG-2 (Suburban Residential Strata Zone) portion of the site.
Development Information Meetin2:
Maple Ridge Policy 6.20 Development Information Meetings states that an applicant will be
required to hold a meeting for those applications that involve an Official Community Plan
amendment, or for the rezoning of land to permit a significant amount of development in
compliance with the Official Community Plan. As the application proposes both of the above, a
development information meeting should be required prior to it proceeding to Public Hearing.
d) CitizenlCustomer Implications:
A Development Information meeting will identify concerns and issues the residents of the
surrounding neighbourhood may have with the proposed development. Additional implications
may be identified should staff be directed to engage in a full technical review of the proposal.
WE
Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department has not yet completed a full review of the proposal. However, the
Engineering Department has been involved with the discussions between the applicant and
municipality regarding servicing and extension of the municipal sewer to this property since the
application was submitted in September 2003. Preliminary comments indicate that it may be
technically possible to extend municipal services to the property. Detailed comments will be
provided should staff be directed to engage in a full technical review of the application. The
extension of services is discussed under the Regional Implications section of this report.
Parks & Leisure Services Department:
The Parks & Leisure Services Department will need to review the development proposal with
respect to the proposed Park (conservation area) to determine if it has any implications with respect
to the Parks Master Plan. They will also need to identify any impacts the proposed development
may have on additional street tree maintenance and the implications they may have on their budget.
Fire Department:
The Fire Department will need to review the proposed development plans to ensure it meets the
minimum requirements for site access and circulation. The review may also identify additional
issues the applicant will need to satisfy prior to Final Approval. The proposed bare land strata plan
will be referred to the Fire Department should Council direct municipal staff to engage in a full
technical review of the application.
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 is the re-designation of the portion of
the site designated as Extension to Forest Reserve to Forest Reserve (Bylaw No. 6272 - 2004),
which is considered to be minor in nature. It has been determined that no additional consultation
beyond existing procedures is required, including referrals to the Council of an adjacent
municipality, First Nations, the School District or agencies of the Federal and Provincial
Governments.
Regional Implications
The portion of the property currently designated Suburban Residential is not within the GVRD
Green Zone area. In 1993, Maple Ridge Council passed Bylaw No. 4960 - 1993 placing the
property within Sewer Area "A". However, the property is not within the GVRD Fraser Sewer
Area and will require the Board's approval prior to Final Reading. In May 2004, a legal opinion
confirmed that the application will require approval from the GVRD Board and that inclusion in
Sewer Area A does not commit the District to extending services outside the Urban Area.
S
Requests for inclusion in the GVRD Fraser Sewerage Area are considered by the Board of the
Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District (GVS&DD) only upon referral from a Council
of a member municipality.
ALTERNATIVES:
There are three alternatives available for Council's consideration:
Deny the application based on the policy issues outlined in this report;
Defer the application until the Official Community Plan Review is completed and the
environmental and residential implications can be assessed;
Give First Reading to the Official Community Plan and Zone amending bylaws and require:
a) the following items be completed prior to the application being referred to Public
Hearing:
A detailed technical review of all land use and engineering issues be completed by
municipal staff;
Clarification of the environmental and watercourse issues;
A development information meeting be held; and
b) the following terms and conditions be met prior to Final Reading:
Registration of a Rezoning Development Agreement including the deposit of security
as outlined in the Agreement;
Amendment to Schedule "B" of the Official Community Plan; -
A geotechnical report which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed
development;
Road dedication as required;
An Amenity Restrictive Covenant must be registered at the Land Title Office;
Inclusion of the site into the GVRD Fraser Sewer Area;
Park dedication as required.
Alternative One is recommended.
CONCLUSION:
The applicant is requesting rezoning of a portion of the property located at 25274 Bosonworth Avenue
and 25183 108 Avenue to permit 114 single family bare land strata lots. The proposed density of 5.1
- 10 -
upnha is double that which is allowed under the Suburban Residential designation and is of an urban
scale. However, the applicant asserts that Policy 21 of the Official Community Plan allows a density
bonus from the portion of the site designated Extension to Forest Reserve to the Suburban Residential
area. The applicant is also proposing to provide full municipal services to the property, which does not
align with Official Community Plan policies. As a result of the above policy issues, a full technical
review of the proposal has not yet been completed.
As part of the Official Community Plan Review, a residential lands capacity study and environmental
discussion paper are being prepared to address future population growth patterns and scenarios, and to
outline potential environmental management goals. It is anticipated that both studies will be completed
in the fall of 2004 and will provide Council with growth management and environmental options and
recommendations. Therefore, a complete assessment of the overall impacts of the application with
respect to growth patterns and management in the municipality is not yet possible.
On balance, the proposed development does not comply with the Official Community Plan policies, nor
would it result in a development that is in character with the surrounding suburban residential area. The
disadvantages of this project outweigh its advantages and therefore, it is recommended that the
application be denied. However, a development proposal that conforms to the policies of Suburban
Residential development and provides on-site services would be supportable. z

The general intent of the Rural Plan, and of the subsequent 1998 Council decision for this study area was
to retain the area within the Agricultural Land Reserve.
Development Considerations
The following land use implications of the proposed exclusion need to be considered:
• The subject property is currently designated for Agricultural use under the existing Official
Community Plan. Any change in that use would require an amendment to the Official
Community Plan.
The potential redevelopment of this property 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 subject property at 12476 232th Street has sewer connection in accordance with Policy No.
9.02, which was adopted in November, 1993. This policy grants permission for sewer
connection to all property owners within the Agricultural Land Reserve whose property abuts an
existing lateral sewer line. It also makes provisions for extending services where public health is
a concern and Agricultural Land Commission permission is granted. This policy is intended to
provide a single connection to each existing parcel, and should not be considered a means to
facilitate further subdivision. An application to the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage
District Board to permit sewer extension and an application to the Greater Vancouver Regional
District to amend the Green Zone boundaries would be required prior topermifting an urban
style of development. There is no guarantee that such applications would be approved.

d) Alternatives:
Council has been provided with a range of options for processing this application. The staff
recommendation is not to forward the application based upon considerations as outlined within this
report.
CONCLUSION:
Based on the report dated July 15, 2004, for processing applications for exclusion from the
Agricultural Land Reserve, Council has been provided with options for referring applications to the
Agricultural Land Commission as outlined in this report, dated November 25, 2004. As directed by
Council on July 19, 2004, a staff recommendation has been provided.

CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE
TO: His Worship Mayor A. Hogarth DATE: June 28, 2002
and Members of Council FILE NO: RZ1050/00
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W
SUBJECT: First Reading
Bylaw No. 6063-2002 and Bylaw No. 6062-2002
10683 & 10705 240 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On May 8, 2001 this application, to rezone the property from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to CD 1-93 (Amenity Residential District), was considered by Council under our
former land use reporting process (see attached land use report). Council elected not to
forward this application to a Public Hearing until the development plan reflected the street
patterns shown on the Cottonwood Guide Plan. That condition has now been met and it is
recommended that first reading be granted to Maple Ridge Official Community Plan
Amending Bylaw 6063-2002 and Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw 6062-2002.
During review, it was identified that additional conditions should be met prior to final reading,
along with those included in the original report. All these conditions are now provided with
this recommendation.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6063-2002 be read
a first time;
That, acknowledging that Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw
No. 6063-2002 has been considered in conjunction with the capital expenditure plan
and waste management plan, Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending
Bylaw No. 6063-2002 be forwarded to Public Hearing;
That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6062-2002 be read a first time and be
forwarded to Public Hearing; and
That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading.
Amendment to Schedule "B" of the Official Community Plan;
A geotechnical report which addresses the suitability of the site for the
proposed development;
Road dedication as required;
Park dedication as required; and
A Comprehensive Plan of Development and site grading plan must be
registered at the Land Title Office.
DISCUSSION:
The land use repbrt for this application was considered at the Council Meeting of May 8,2001.
A copy of that report is attached. At that meeting, Council recommended that the application not
be forwarded to Public Hearing until a subdivision plan had been submitted that included a
connection that complied with the Cottonwood Guide Plan. The subdivision plan has since been
revised and a copy of the proposal is attached to this report.
Through the review of the subdivision plan it became evident that in order to achieve the
subdivision, considerable regrading of the site would be necessary that would require the
cooperation of the neighbouring property owner. As well, the resultant grades will only
accommodate specific building forms to fit the difficult terrain. It is therefore advisable that a
condition of zoning include provision of a comprehensive plan of development to ensure that the
building type and grades necessary to achieve the development are consistent at the time of
subdivision. Information has been received that confirms mosf of the conditions that will apply
to the comprehensive plan of development. Staff will be working with the applicant to finalize
the details prior to final reading. A further recommended condition of approval is review of the
design by a geotechnical engineer to ensure that all slopes on the site are stable as proposed.

Previous Applications: SD/82/73, SD/20/84, RZ/39/96, SD/47/96
Project Description:
As identified in the original report for this application, there was concern that the plan did not
achieve the objectives contained in the Cottonwood Guide Plan for interconnection with other
neighbourhoods. This has been resolved and the proposal shows a road connection that will
provide an additional way to access the Kanaka Ridge development through to 240 Street,
thereby providing connectivity and improved emergency access into this neighbourhood.
Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The site is designated Single Family Residential (18 units per net hectare) on Schedule 'B' of the
Official Community Plan. The development plan is in compliance with the density designation,
however, it will be necessary to amend that Schedule 'B' to include an area on the west portion
of the site to Conservation to recognize a small watercourse. This area will be dedicated as Park
as a condition of zoning. This Conservation area includes a forested area that is beyond the
normal watercourse protection boundary but that will provide a benefit to the neighbourhood by
being retained as municipal parkiand and effectively, an extension to Kanaka Creek Regional
Park. This forested area is considered too steep to develop and retention of the vegetation
contributes to long-term slope stability.
Zoning Bylaw:
The site will be zoned to CD-1-93 (Comprehensive Development) Zone. This will permit the
subdivision into lots not less than 371 metres square. This zone has been used extensively in the
Cottonwood area as it provides siting characteristics that generally afford greater flexibility in
dealing with the environmental constraints that are common in this area.
Development Permits:
The site is included into Development Permit Area XXX. It will be necessary for Council to
approve a Development Permit that addresses the guidelines and objectives of Development
Permit Area XXX prior to any site clearing work taking place within 50 metres of the top of bank
of the watercourse.
-.D -
CitizenlCustomer implications:
The development will provide part of an important link between existing and emerging
neighbourhoods that will accommodate greater pedestrian mobility and reduce the length
and number of local vehicle trips.
Interdepartmental Implications:
The Engineering Department will be required to review details of the development design
during subdivision of the property.
Intergovernmental Issues:
Greater Vancouver Re2ional District
Subdivision servicing will include a drainage system that drains to the watercourse flowing
north to Kanaka Creek Regional Park. The Greater Vancouver Regional District will be
consulted with respect to the impact this drainage may have on long-term erosion. Statutory
rights-of-way may be required over the drainage course to allow the District to maintain the
facility. -
Local Government Act
An amendment to the Official Community Plan requires the local government to consult with
any affected parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined
in Section 882 of the Act. The amendment required for this application, to reflect the actual
boundary of a Conservation area, is considered to be minor in nature. It has been determined
that no additional consultation beyond existing procedures is required, including referrals to
the Board of the Regional District, the Council of an adjacent municipality, First Nations, the
School District or agencies of the Federal and Provincial governments.
The amendment has been reviewed in conjunction with the Financial planlCapital plan and
the Waste Management Plan of the Greater Vancouvei- Regional District and determined to
have no impact.
Environmental Implications:
Parts of the properties have environmental value due to the existence of watercourses and
significant vegetation. These lands will be dedicated as park and therefore protected.
CONCLUSION:
The applicant has now provided a plan of development that identifies interconnection between
neighbourhoods and therefore respects the Cottonwood Guide Plan. The application is in
compliance with density designation of the Official Community Plan, however, an amendment to
the Conservation boundary is required to reflect the inclusion of lands that will be dedicated as
park with development of the site. Compliance with applicable sections of the Local
Government Act has been reviewed and recommendations made to Council. It is recommended
that this application be forwarded to Public Hearing and that first reading be granted to Maple
Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw 6063-2002 and Maple Ridge Zone Amending
Bylaw No. 6062-2002.

SUBJECT: Strata Title Conversion
20445 120B Ave. & 12080 204B St. (Duplex)
SUMMARY:
An application has been received to convert a previously occupied duplex located at
20445 - 120B Avenue and 12080 - 204B Street into two strata units.
It is recommended that Council approve the strata conversion subject to the conditions
outlined in this report. -
RECOMMENDATION:

duplex located at 20445 - 120B Avenue and 12080 - 204B Street into two strata units
pursuant to Section 242 of the Strata Property Act subject to the following terms and
conditions:
Submission of a health consultant's report certifying that the premises are free
of any infestations; and
Submission of an engineer's or architect's report certifying that the building is

Project Description:
There is an existing duplex located at the corner of 120B Avenue and 204B Street that
was constructed in 1993. The present owners have applied for a strata conversion in
order to permit separate ownership of each unit.
Planning Analysis:
The procedure and 'requirements to convert a previously occupied building into a strata title
arrangement is described in Section 242 of the Strata Property Act. The Strata Property
Act states that Council shall not approve a strata conversion of a previously occupied
building unless the building complies with all appropriate municipal bylaws and is in
substantial compliance with the British Columbia Building Code. The Strata Property Act
further states that Council shall consider the following:
The priority of rental accommodation over privately owned housing in the
Municipality;
The proposal of the owner/developer for the relocation of persons occupying the
building;
The life expectancy of the building; and
The projected major increase in maintenance cost due to the condition of the
building.
-2-
Municipal Bylaw Compliance
Zoning By-law
Section 601(C)(3)(b) of the Zoning Bylaw states that buildings in the RT-1 (Two Family
Urban Residential) zone shall not exceed a height of 11 meters. Section 601(C)(3)(c)(i),(ii)
and (iii) of the Zoning Bylaw requires that a building in the RT- 1 (Two Family Urban
Residential) zone be sited not less than 7.5 meters from a front and rear lot line, 1.5 meters
from an interior lot line and 4.5 meters from a lot line adjoining a flanking street in the case
of a corner lot. The plans submitted for the building permit identifies that the existing
home complies with the bylaw requirements.
Building Code Compliance
The application was forwarded to the Building Department for comments and it has
provided the following comments. The existing duplex was constructed under the 1992
B.C. Building Code. The current 1998 B.C. Building Code contains minor variances to
the 1992 B.C. Building Code. However, the basic standards respecting duplexes contained
in both codes are very similar. The Building Division provides the opinion that the
existing duplex substantially complies with the current Building Code requirements.
In addition to the above, a visual assessment of the structural condition of the existing
duplex was undertaken by a structural engineer. This assessment concludes that it is fair to
assume that the superstructure is performing satisfactorily.
A report prepared by an engineer or architect certifying that the building is structurally and
mechanically sound and is in substantial compliance with the current B.C. Building Code
will be submitted as a condition of Council approval of the proposed strata conversion.
Other Considerations
The priority of rental accommodation over privately owned housing in the
municipality.
An affordable housing study was prepared for the District of Maple Ridge in 1991.
This study identfled a rental vacancy rate of less than 3% as one of the primary
indicators of an unhealthy rental housing sector. At an absolute minimum, this study
identfIed a vacancy rate of a minimum of .% for an effective market. The recent
demographic analysis and population and housing projection prepared for the
Official Community Plan review identifies housing affordability as an issue for many
Maple Ridge renters and homeowners. This study references the Canada Mortgage
and Housing Corporation 's rental market report which notes that the Maple Ridge
and Pitt Meadows area has very few bachelor suites and very few apartments with
three or more bedrooms. Similarly, Maple Ridge has few two-bedroom townhouse
units. Apartment vacancy rates compiled by the Greater Vancouver Regional
District indicate an average vacancy rate in 2003 of 2.9% in Maple Ridge and Pitt
Meadows.
-3-
In summary, the 2003 apartment vacancy rate of 2.9% is in the upper range of a
healthy rental housing sector based on the indicators identUled in the District of
Maple Ridge 1991 affordable housing strategy.
The proposal of the owner/developer for the relocation of persons occupying the
building.
The owners of the duplex occupy one of the units and the second unit is currently
rented. There is no plan to have the second unit vacated or sold at this time. The
strata conversion will result in providing the owners with the ability to sell the
second unit in the future.
The life expectancy of the building.
The building is approximately 11 years old and is in good shape.
The proposed major increase in maintenance cost due to the condition of the building.
The preliminary structural assessment of the existing duplex would suggest that no
major modUications, if any, would need to be undertaken for the duplex to
substantially comply with the current Building Code. As such, no concerns with
respect to increased maintenance costs would be anticipated
CONCLUSION:
Staff support the application and recommend that Council approve the proposed strata
conversion subject to the completion of the terms and conditions outlined in this report.

SUBJECT: 5% Money in lieu of parkiand dedication
(23678 112 Ave)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The above noted subdivision is subject to both Policy 8 of the Official Community Plan and the
provisions of the Local Government Act regarding parkiand dedication. or payment of money in
lieu. It is recommended that Council require money in lieu of parkiand dedication for property
located at 23678 - 112 Ave.
RECOMMENDATION:
That pursuant to Council's policy regarding 5% Parkland Dedication or payment of Money
In Lieu, be it resolved that the owner of land proposed for subdivision at 23678 112 Ave.
under application SD/025/04, shall pay to the District of Maple Ridge an amount that is not
less than $27,500.00.
DISCUSSION:
Policy 8 of the Official Community Plan states that in order to preserve watercourses, an owner of
land being subdivided shall, at the option of Council either:
Provide park land or 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 parkiand purposes.
Where there is a significant watercourse and the District has the ability to include ravines and
watercourse protection areas into the public realm, that area is dedicated Park. These areas
provide for large vegetated areas in urban neighbourhoods that provide corndors for wildlife and
passive park areas for residents.
Where there is either no watercourse or the watercourse is deemed insignificant, 5% of the market
value of the land is paid to the District. These funds are placed into a special Parkiand Acquisition
Reserve Fund, which enables the District to purchase areas deemed important for habitat
protection but where the ability to achieve parkiand through development is limited, such as the
Blaney Bog.
In this particular instance there is no watercourse present and it is, therefore, recommended that
money in lieu of parkland dedication be provided.
70(o
In keeping with past practice, the District has requested that an appraisal be provided for the 5%
market value of the development site. This appraisal is based on zoned but not serviced land.
An opinion from an appraisal firm has stated that the market value of the land is $550,000.00,
which indicates that the 5% value of this property is $27,500.00.
CONCLUSION:
As there are no watercourses on the property it is recommended that Council require money in lieu
of parkland dedication as prescribed in the appraisal

SUBJECT: CPR Holiday Train - Friends In Need Food Bank
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A request has been received from the Friends In Need Food Bank to use municipal streets for the CPR
Holiday Train event on Sunday December 19, 2004.
It is recommended that the event be approved, provided the usual conditions are met. A copy of the
request from the organizer dated November 8, 2004 is attached.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Friends In Need Food Bank (the organizer) be authorized to use municipal streets on
Sunday December 19, 2004 for their CPR Holiday Train event, provided the conditions outlined in
Schedule 'A' attached to the staff report dated November 16, 2004 are met.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
The Friends In Need Food Bank is requesting permission to use municipal streets on Sunday
December 19, 2004, for their CPR Holiday Train event. The event is a food donation
presentation from the CPR Train to the Friends In Need Food Bank. The event will take place on
River Road, and would require road closure on River Road, from 223 Street to the Haney by-
pass. The detour would re-route traffic to 223 Street and Callaghan Avenue onto the Haney by-
pass. The event is scheduled from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM. A map showing the location is attached.
Strategic Plan:
Permitting of Maple Ridge street events promotes community development and often highlights
Maple Ridge's natural and built features.
Citizen/Customer Implications:
Permission to use streets may cause some delays and inconveniences to other road users.
However, traffic control will be provided by the event organizers. In addition, the organizers
will be distributing an information letter to affected businesses and residents.
qo,7
Interdepartmental Implications:
The road use permit establishes that the event organizer must obtain the approval of RCMP, for
traffic control and must notify the Fire Department and BC Ambulance Services as well as
coordinate with Coast Mountain Bus Company (transit service).
Business Plan Implications:
The Business Plan recognizes that the District processes requests for use of municipal streets as
part of its services. The financial impact of the specific road use is limited to staff processing
effort.
Policy Implications:
Permission to use municipal streets is grantable under the District's policy practices.
Alternatives:
The District could refuse to permit the fundraiser to occur. In this event, the organizer would
have to cancel the fundraiser.
CONCLUSIONS:
From time to time, the District is requested to allow the use of municipal streets for various events and
activities. Permission is requested for the annual CPR Holiday Train event - Friends In Need Food Bank
and conditions of Schedule 'A' are attached.

Site and Project Description:
The subject property lies near the easterly edge of the District's urban area boundary. It is flat and
currently has a single family residence and a few accessory buildings on it. The applicant is proposing to
demolish the existing buildings and construct two commercial buildings with a total of 595 square metres
(6,400 sq.ft.) of commercial space and 8 detached bare-land strata single family homes. A new medical
clinic with a storage area on the upper floor is to be located at the corner of 238B Street and Dewdney
Trunk Road. A café with a patio facing Dewdney Trunk Road and an apartment unit on the upper floor
are proposed for the second building. The two commercial buildings will front Dewdney Trunk Road
and parking will be located at the rear of the two buildings. Access to Dewdney Trunk Road will be,
limited to right-in only and access to 238B Street will be limited to right-in/right-out only.
Two four-unit clusters of detached bare-land strata single family dwellings are proposed to be located
'north of the proposed commercial project. The residential component includes a private common
walkway linking the two residential clusters and a central outdoor amenity area. A new municipal lane
along the northern edge of the site will be dedicated and constructed to give access to the two residential
clusters and future developments to the west.
Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The property is currently designated Service Commercial in the Official Community Plan. The applicant
is requesting a redesignation of the northern portion of the property to Compact Housing 40 to enable the
development of 8 detached strata single family homes. As well, the applicant is requesting a
redesignation of the southern portion of the property to Community Commercial to allow the
development of 2 commercial buildings for a medical clinic, a café and 1 apartment unit.
Justification for Plan Amendment:
The neighbourhood along Dewdney Trunk Road between 236 and 240 Streets is primarily a residential
neighbourhood with single family dwellings ranging from 15 to 40 units per net acre. Although the
entire block on the north side of Dewdney Trunk road between 237 and 238B Streets is designated as
Service Commercial in the OCP, the Commercial Land Use Study prepared by G. P. Rollo & Associates
Ltd. (February 2004) recommends restricting commercial uses on Dewdney Trunk Road, east of the
downtown, to major intersections, and encouraging residential development in between.
Service Commercial uses such as light industry, outdoor commercial recreation, tourist accommodation,
service station, and warehousing are not compatible with the neighbouring low to medium density
residential neighbourhood. A small community commercial development under the Community
Commercial designation with uses such as financial services, convenience store, personal services,
restaurant and retail provides a more appropriate range of land uses than the service commercial uses that
could be accommodated under the Service Commercial designation.
The bare-land strata detached single family housing is proposed as a transition between the proposed
commercial to the south and the existing residential to the north. The proposed Compact Housing 40
designation would accommodate this type and form of residential use.
-3-
An amendment to Schedule H of the Official Community Plan is also proposed to place the northern
portion of the property within Development Permit Area XXXIV and the southern portion of the property
within Development Permit Area VIII to address the form and character of multi-family and intensive
residential, and commercial development, respectively. The guidelines under these Development Permit
Area designations are more suitable than the guidelines under the current Development Permit Area
designation. Prior to a Building permit being issued it will be necessary for Council to approve a
Development Permit that establishes the overall design character for this development, including site
circulation, building form and character, and landscaping of private space.
Zoning Bylaw.
The proposed RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) and C-2 (Community Commercial) Zones would comply
with the proposed Official Community Plan designations. A preliminary review of the plans in relation
to Zoning Bylaw requirements has revealed a number of variances that would be required if this proposal
is to proceed.
For the residential component of the development, setbacks from all property lines in the RM-1
(Townhouse Residential) zone are established at 7.5 metres. The applicant is seeking setback variances
to the front lot line (to 3.0m), the side lot line (to 5.0m), the exterior side lot line (to 3.5m) and the rear
lot line (to 2.8m) and has provided the following reasons to justif' the proposed variances:
> The massing of the proposed detached bare-land strata units has been kept smaller and articulated
to provide an appropriate interface with the existing single family homes to the north in order to
develop a sensitive transition between the proposed commercial to the south and the existing
residential to the north.
> The applicant has opted for 2 storey separated smaller homes to pull the units apart. Some upper
floor area for these units has been placed into the roof area to reduce the height of the units.
Architectural features are proposed to lessen the scale and massing while developing individual
unit identity. This reduction in scale and height decreases the need for the 7.5 m setback on all
yards.
> The setbacks to 23 8B are appropriate as they are in keeping with the "greet-the-street" approach to
development as has been established throughout the municipality.
> The setbacks to the north are appropriate as the 7.5m lane provides an adequate setback to the
existing single family houses.
> Setbacks to the west are smaller to allow the building to be pulled apart on the site.
For the commercial component of the development, the front and flanking side yard setbacks required in
the C-2 (Community Commercial) zone is 3.0 metres. The applicant is seeking front and flanking side
setback variances from 3.0 metres to 2.9 metres in order to create a more vibrant pedestrian experience
and to locate the parking area behind the building.
The applicant is also seeking variances to the minimum lot size of the commercial component from 2,500
square metres (26,910 sq.ft.) to 1,714 square metres (14,450 sq.ft.) and the minimum lot depth from 70
metres (229.66 ft.) to 56 metres (183.73 ft.). The proposed development is a comprehensively designed
infill project which focuses on land use and massing compatibility to the existing neighbourhood. A
smaller commercial lot limits the scale of the development and hence lessen the impacts to adjacent
-4-
properties. The proposed buildings will be located at the southeast corner of the site, and a landscape
strip will be provided along the west property line. With regards to lot depth, a shallow lot will have no
additional impact to the adjacent properties than a lot with a minimum lot depth as prescribed in the
Zoning Bylaw.
The applicant will be required to submit a development variance permit application for the proposed
variances. Council can choose to approve or deny these variances. Should Council choose to deny any
of the requested variances, the proposed plan of development will need to be revised accordingly. The
Planning Department notes that the requested setback variances for the residential component of the
proposal stems from the desire to develop individual detached single family units. A form of
development with attached units in a more conventional townhouse form would likely result in fewer or
possibly no siting variances.
Development and Development Variance Permits:
The site is presently included into Development Permit Areas XXX VII which was established to address
the form and character of service commercial development adjacent to residential use. As a condition of
rezoning, the commercial development site will be included into Development Permit Area VIII in order
to address the form and character of commercial development adjacent to residential use, and the
multifamily residential development site will be included into Development Permit Area XXXIV in order
to establish objectives and guidelines for the form and character of intensive residential development.
The main objectives of these development permit areas are to facilitate orderly development and to
achieve high quality development.
The applicant will be requirecito submit a subsequent development permit application for Council's
consideration and approval. The detailed site planning, landscaping and building design will be
addressed through this development permit application. A Development Variance Permit will also be
required to vary the bylaw requirements in the areas noted above.
Advisory Design Panel:
The plans and design drawings submitted in support of this rezoning application were reviewed by the
Advisory Design Panel at its meeting held June 3, 2004. The Panel expressed overall support for the
project as presented by the applicant. A further review of the detailed plans and design drawings will be
reviewed by the Panel at the Development Permit application stage.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was held on June 2, 2004, from 6:30-8:30 P.M. The main concerns
identified in these letters are as follows with comments on these concerns noted in italics.
> Height of the commercial buildings
Height is kept within limits of existing houses in the neighbourhood, which is 9.75 mefres. The
proposed height is at 65 metres, below the allowed 7.5 metres in the C-2 zone.
> Operation hours and noise from the proposed café
-5-
The applicant has indicated that he is agreeable to a covenant restricting the hours of operation
(i.e. having all uses shut down at 10:00pm) to be registered on Title, f deemed necessary by
Council
> Traffic congestion and exit onto 238B Street so close to the light on Dewdney Trunk Road
A traffic study has been submitted and reviewed by the Engineering Department. The proposed
commercial driveway to 238B Street is restricted to right-in and right-out, and is located 19 metres
from the intersection of238B Street and Dewdney Trunk Road. The Engineering Department
advises that the distance between the proposed driveway and the intersection of 23811 Street and
Dewdney Trunk Road must be of an adequate length to handle the expected traffic up to the year
2015.
> There is insufficient parking for the proposed clinic and café
The number ofparking stalls provided for the commercial component (i.e. 28) exceeds that
required under the Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw (i.e. 19).
Development Considerations:
The number of parking spaces provided within the residential component of the development meets the
minimum requirements of the Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw (i.e. 2 stalls per unit for a total of
16 stalls). However, the proposal does not include any on-site visitor parking spaces. Although there is
no requirement for visitor parking under the Zoning and the Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaws, the.
applicant should consider reviewing the site plan to provide some visitor parking spaces. On site visitor
parking is particularly critical in this situation as parking not will be allowed within the lane nor possibly
on 238B Street subject to final road design.
Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineerin! Department:
The Engineering Department has reported on the application through an internal referral. The servicing
works will be detailed in a Rezoning Development Agreement and security for the work will be collected
prior to final approval. As a condition of rezoning a road dedication plan is required.
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,
iic1uding 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.
-6-
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.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed development provides an appropriate land use transition from Dewdney Trunk Road along
the southern edge of the subject property to the single family subdivision along the north. However, it is
suggested hat the applicant considers reviewing the proposed residential site plan to provide visitor
parking. The Planning Department therefore, recommends that application RZ/030/04 be favorably
considered and that Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6241 - 2004 and
Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw. No. 6242 - 2004 be read a first time and be forwarded to Public
Hearing.

Access: 132 Avenue and 237A Street
Servicing: Full Urban services required at subdivision
Previous Applications: SD/78/73
b) Site and Project Description:
The subject site consists of two separate parcels and is 2.18 hectares (5.3 acres) in size. It
is located in the Silver Valley area between 133 Avenue and 132 Avenue in the 23800
Block, just south of the Rock Ridge neighbourhood. There are presently three homes on
the site. The two log homes will be retained on new lots and the third home will be
removed.
The development proposal shows six RS-lb (One Family Urban (medium density)
Residential) lots adjacent to 133 Avenue with the remainder of the site proposed for RS- 1
(One Family Urban Residential); this includes ten lots (one of which is a panhandle lot) to
be accessed via a newly constructed road from 237A Street to the property's east property
-2-
line and four lots accessed via 132 Avenue. At the subdivision stage the Approving
Officer will require that the building envelope for the panhandle lot be established to
ensure that the private outdoOr areas for it, and the adjacent properties, are respected.
The head waters of Fern Creek occur within the subject site. This proposal establishes a
habitat protection area of approximately 16% of the site, which will be dedicated as Park as
a condition of rezoning. This lot also contains a large rock outcrop on its south property
line, a portion of which is within the 132 Avenue rights of way. The portion of this rock
outcrop within the subject site will be protected by an amenity covenant as a condition of
subdivision.
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
Part VI - Silver Valley Area Plan Figure 2 Land Use Plan & Figure 4 Trails/Open
Space
The development site is within the Silver Valley Area Plan which forms part of the Official
Community Plan and is designated as Low Density Residential, Conservation and Open
Space. An amendment to the Official Community Plan is proposed to redesignate the
Conservation designation to reflect the established habitat protection area, and the Open
Space designation to Low Density Urban.
In the case of this development the Low Density Residential designation is met with the
RS-lb (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential) zone, which will act as an
interface with the already existing homes on the north side of 133 Avenue and the
remainder of the site being zoned to RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential). The
development plan recognizes the Open Space designation for the rock outcrop on the south
eastern portion off of 132 Avenue and has identified existing significant trees, which are to
be retained. These areas will be included into an amenity restrictive covenant as a
condition of subdivision and may require that building envelopes for individual lots are
established to ensure that the root systems are sufficiently protected. The Conservation
area for Fern Creek will be dedicated as Park, which amounts to approximately 16% of the
total site area.
Justification for Plan Amendment:
Conservation Designation:
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has reviewed the watercourse and drainage areas
of this site and has given support to eliminate this drainage area and has established the
habitat setback area based on a report prepared by the applicant's environmental
consultant. The amendment to the Conservation designation reflects the habitat setback
area supported by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
-3-
Open Space Designation:
Abutting the lands designated Conservation in this portion of the site is an area designated
Open Space. While the Silver Valley Plan strives to achieve connected andlor continuous
natural open spaces, an "on the ground" assessment of this area has shown that this
continuity cannot be achieved given the actual established setback area for Fern Creek.
This area is to be redesignated to Low Density Urban to reflect the "on the ground"
assessment. The plan of development does, however, identify a number of existing trees
which will retained in the general area of the Open Space designation. The retention of
trees supports policies in the Silver Valley Area Plan to integrate development with
existing trees wherever possible and these trees will be included into an amenity covenant
for their protection as a condition of subdivision.
Schedule E
This Schedule of the Official Community Plan has identified Fern Creek for special
treatment and Development Permit XXX will apply. It will be necessary to amend this
schedule to reflect the elimination of a drainage area as approved by the Department of
Fisheries and Oceans. This amendment is minor in nature will be done with an overall
housekeeping amendment for Schedule B.
Schedule F
This Schedule of the Official Community Plan shows an Equestrian Trail on 132 Avenue.
This trail is located on the south side of 132 Avenue. If reconstruction is necessary it will
be the responsibility of the developer to undertake such work.
Zoning Bylaw:
The north portion of the subject property will be rezoned to RS-lb (One Family
Urban (medium density) Residential to permit future subdivision into 6 lots not
less than 557 m2 (6000 sq.ft.).
The remainder of the site will be rezoned to RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
to permit future subdivision into 14 lots not less than 668 m 2 (7200 sq.ft.).
Develonment Permits:
Development Permit XXX:
The site is subject to Development Permit XXX for the preservation and protection of the
natural environment. Schedule E of the Official Community Plan has identified a
watercourse for special treatment. Prior to any land clearing it will be necessary for
Council to authorize a Development Permit XXX.
In keeping with the Guidelines of Development Permit Area XXX, the habitat protection
area has been established in conjunction with the District's Streamside Setback Map and
-4-
the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and will be dedicated as Park as a condition of
rezoning. This will meet the Approving Officer's requirement under Section 941 of the
Local Government Act.
Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department has identified that it will be necessary for the developer
to enter into a Rezoning Development Agreement to ensure that the road construction
in front of the newly dedicated Park is provided for. As this work is minimal the
actual works are to be included with the Subdivision Servicing.
The stormwater management facilities for this development must meet the objectives
of the Stormwater Management Principles of the Silver Valley Area Plan.
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 20 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 $500.00.
Fire Department:
It is noted that the new homes that will be built will have to comply with the
Sprinkler Bylaw. The Fire Department has no issues with the subdivision.
Environmental Implications:
The proposed development establishes a watercourse conservation area with an
average setback of 15 meters (50 feet) from the top of bank of Fern Creek. This
conservation area adjacent to Fern Creek will be replanted with native vegetation.
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has given support to eliminate two drainage
areas. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has also recommended that a
stormwater management plan, consistent with their draft Urban Stormwater
Guidelines and Best Management Practices, be developed for the proposed
development. The details of this will be provided through the Development Permit
XXX process and the detailed servicing plans for the site which will be prepared at
the subdivision stage.

1) School District Comments:
The elementaiy school aged children from this area are within the Yeimadon
Elementary school catchment area and the high school students within the Garaibaldi
Senior Secondary catchment area. The School Board has advised that there is
adequate space available to accommodate the anticipated student enrolment that
would be generated by this new development.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6288
- 2004 and Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw 6275-2004 be given First Reading and
forward to Public Hearing.

Mr. Terry Fryer
Municipal Clerk
District of Maple Ridge
11995 Haney Place
Maple Ridge BC V2X 6A9
Dear Mr. Fryer:
As you are aware, recent changes in legislation have made most properties within the Greater
Vancouver Water District exempt from taxation by the member municipalities. In order to
mitigate the impact on the municipalities from this loss of property tax revenue, the Board of the
Greater Vancouver Water District adopted a five-year phase-out period and will provide grants
in lieu of taxes under section 8 1(4) of the Greater Vancouver Water District Act in each of those
years. At a subsequent meeting held November 26th the Board approved the actual payment
amount of the grant in lieu of taxes for the 2004 fiscal year.
A payment was approved for the District of Maple Ridge for 2004 of $4,383. In order for
payment to be made under this section of the Water Act, legislation requires a Council resolution
to consent to receive this grant prior to obtaining final approval by the Lieutenant-Governor in
Council. We request that you bring forward our request for consent at the earliest convenience,
to enable us to make payment in the short term. Please provide us with a certified copy of the
consent resolution. Similar requests for consent will be brought forward for future years as the
phase out of the taxes progresses.
A copy of the Board resolution from its November 26, 2004 meeting, the relevant report, an
extract from the Greater Vancouver Water District Act, and a schedule showing each
municipality's calculation are attached for information.
Please contact Michelle Garvock, Property Division Manager at 604-432-6484 if you require
additional informatioij

Finance Committee Meeting: November 4, 2004
TO: Finance Committee
FROM: Michelle Garvock, Property Division Manager -
DATE: October 26, 2004
SUBJECT: 2004 Payment in Lieu of Property Taxes
Recommendation:
That the GVWD Board:
approve the payment of a grant in lieu of taxes to member municipalities totalling
approximately $1.3M as shown on Schedule 1 attached to the report titled "2004 Payment in
Lieu of Property Taxes" dated October 26, 2004, and; -
request the Province of BC to allow the 2004 payment as a grant in lieu of property taxes.-
PURPOSE
To receive Board authority to pay our members in the Water District a payment in-lieü of
property taxes.
CONTEXT
Earlier this year the Board supported the development of a 5 Year Phased-In compensation for
property taxes to our members. Changes in legislation made most properties within the Water
District exempt from property taxation (the other Districts were already largely exempt) and the
Board agreed to a phase-out the municipal portionlimpact over a 5 year period with 2004 at
100% of 2003 taxes, 2005 at 80% (the 2005 Budget reflected this change), 2006 at 60% etc.
The Water Act allows grants—in-lieu, though any payment under this provision requires approval
by the Province. Further to application for the grant payment, a breakdown is attached for
reference purposes. Where there are properties where taxes are still payable, this has been
reflected in the payment to be made.
Finance Committee Meeting - November 4, 2004 Page 2
2004 Payment in Lieu of Property Taxes
3. ALTERNATIVES
The Board approves the payment of the grants-in lieu as shown on Schedule 1 and request
authority from the Province to proceed with a grant —in lieu of taxes.
The Board approves the payment of a lesser amount. This is not recommended as it would
not be consistent with the original intent of the phase-in.
4. CONCLUSION
With the approval by the Board the Province can be requested to allow the payment of the
grants-in lieu for the 2004 fiscal year.
Taxes under appeal have not been factored into the payment at this time. This will be done if at
some point in the future if there is a decision in favour of the District.

Madam Mayor & Council
On behalf of the certified property managers within the District we
wish to thank you for the opportunity to appear before you this
evening. We also wish to thank council for delaying your decision
on bylaw 6274-2004 the Maple Ridge Grow Operation, Health,
Nuisance and Safety Bylaw. This afforded us the time to meet
with bylaw enforcement staff, the fire department and RCMP to
openly discuss our concerns.
It is apparent that a bylaw of this nature is needed, it is not the sole
answer but as Councilor Daykin said "another tool in the toolbox
to combat against this criminal activity."
For the safety and well being of our communities, we support this
bylaw. We would however ask that council through your
associations, the Lower Mainland Municipal. Association, the
Union of British Columbia Municipalities, the Federation of
Canadian Municipalities and others, seek reform to the criminal
code, the Real Estate Act, the Residential Tenancy Act and the
Privacy Act to name a few.
In respect to the "criminal code" it is quit clear that the RCMP
when laying charges are stifled by prosecutors to charge for willful
damage. Although the District has provisions in the Building
Bylaw 6 180-2003 section 32 for such charges it appears crown
prosecutors only support additional charges for theft of Hydro.
Strangely enough this is a crown corporation. The mainly innocent
or unknowing landlords are left to fend for themselves in the civil
courts.
In respect to the "Real Estate Act" it is quit clear that a majority of
the rental properties in Maple Ridge are in non-conformance to this
Act. It is estimated that there are approximately 2500 to 3000
rental units in the district of which only 250 to 300 are
professionally managed.
In our discussion with staff the issue arose whether or not the
rental of property should be deemed a business activity and
whether or not a business license should be required. This in deed
poses a larger question for council and staff to work out, however
this also may be another tool in the toolbox.
It does give the District added ability to monitor and provide
additional support to this proposed bylaw and other regulations.
The "Residential Tenancy Act" may need amendments to support
this bylaw and a landlord's ability to suspend a tenancy agreement
immediately upon the discovery of a criminal activity or a charge
being laid against an occupant. It is apparent that most of the
Lower Mainland Municipalities have adopted similar bylaws to
that proposed by Maple Ridge. There is uncertainty in the
Residential Tenancy Act as to the landlord's rights in the cases of
grow-ops or meth labs. Particularly around the removal of
personal property of the tenant and the dissolving of the tenancy
agreement.
The Privacy Act does not allow the collection or sharing of
information regarding individuals involved in this criminal
activity. It maybe a breach of this act for the District, the RCMP,
B.C. Hydro, Landlords and Property Managers to share or publish
names of individuals charged under the proposed bylaw. The
stifling of this information may have a greater affect by simply
moving this crime around from one home to another or from one
district to another. Recent news reports are evidence of the later.
Municipal councils have far greater ability through your
associations to seek reform to Provincial and Federal laws and
regulations that stifle the effectiveness of what you wish to
accomplish. We ask that council take the lead, look closely at the
Acts mentioned and put forward resolutions to your associations
for amendments that protect the victims in these crimes.
We are confident that this council and staff have the ability to take
a lead role in the reform of the system that will see the individual
responsible for their actions, not society.
It was recommended at our Dec. 12004 meeting that a letter be
sent to all absentee and/or non-resident owners notifying them of
the bylaw you are about to enact. It is hoped that council will
support this recommended action and it will indeed give cause for
these owners to pay closer attention to their investment in our
community. WE also feel that this will assist the different
departments by reducing the number of complaints by individuals
that may claim ignorance of this new bylaw. It was made very
clear at our meeting that the RCMP, bylaws and Fire Department
are more willing with this bylaw in place to assist citizens and
property owners where it is suspect that these activities maybe
taking place.
We would further ask that council consider us a resource to turn to
should you wish to take a lead role in seeking reform to the acts as
mentioned. We will also make ourselves available should you
wish to review this bylaw in the next 6 to 12 months.
We trust that your adoption of this bylaw this evening will be the
first step toward reduction of this criminal activity. It is also hoped
that these criminals will bear the full cost and extent of the law and
that our community and the innocent victims will have justice
served.
We support the adoption of Bylaw 6274-2004 and look forward to
being of assistance in the future.
Crystal Meth Awareness Committee:
Public Relations Report to Council
December 14, 2004
The Crystal Meth Public Relations Committee met on several occasions to review the
materials available to members of the public and decided that there was a need for a local
publication that would incorporate elements from a number of sources in the community
into one single publication.
A 16 page booklet outlining the key issues regarding crystal Meth use in our community
will be printed and distributed in the community On January 21, 2005. 3000 copies of
this booklet will be produced and printed by The Times Newspaper as our contribution to
this project. It will include the personal stories of some area residents who have had to
deal with an addiction to Crystal Meth directly, or through a loved one. The
consequences, in some cases, are tragic. There is information on law enforcement and
details of which organization can help someone in the community attack this problem
head on via counseling, treatment and support. This book will also be available in a
downloadable format on The Times web site, and be made available to any organization
that chooses to post it on their site.
The Tuesday prior to the publication of the book (January 18, 2005), there will be a four
page B-Section published in The Times that will provide an outline of the book contents
to every household in the community. The content of the book will be edited to be more
widely accessible to the community, and direct people in the community for whom
Crystal Meth is touching their lives to the full booklet and community resources.
On November 23 The Times published, at no charge to the School District, the letter
from the School Board Trustees informing parents about the School District #42 Drug
Awareness Program as it relates to Crystal Meth. We have also been following a number
of stories flowing from this issue including the development of the business education
program on the materials and chemical used to make illegal drugs and the issues around
crime, especially for the local business community.
As a result of the overall Crystal Meth Campaign synergies, some new relationships have
been forged between The Times and the Ridge Meadows RCMP Detachment to enhance
the information flow between the RCMP's Crime Prevention Programs and the public.
The results of these efforts will come to fruition early in 2005.
As a result of some input from committee members, The Times is also following up on
some story topics that relate directly to the issue of drug use in the community.

MAPLE RIDGE CRYSTAL METH CAMPAIGN
TASK FORCE SUMMARY
PRESENTED TO: MAPLE RIDGE MUNICIPAL MAYOR & COUNCIL
DATE: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2004
SUBMITTED BY: MARY ROBSON, PRESIDENT
MEADOWRIDGE ROTARY CLUB
On behalf of the Crystal Meth Task Force I would like to thank our
Mayor and Council for the opportunity to share with you the
successes of our campaign and thank you for the support you have
provided. When we started this campaign I had hoped that Pitt
Meadows Council would alc,. participate, but after several
conversations with the Mayorwe were informed that Pitt Meadows
staff and Council were too busy to get involved and could not
actively participate.
During this Rotary year (July 2004 to June 2005) all club Presidents
are encouraged to focus their members' resources on a specific
project based on the goals set out by their Rotary International
President. President Estess picked four areas as his focus during his
tenure, one of them being "health".
Because of my work and association with members of the Salvation
Army's Caring Place and because of conversations I have had with
local police officers, they convinced me we had a crystal meth
epidemic in our community where 70% of property crimes, 80% of
car thefts and 90% of our homeless have a direct association with
crystal meth. I also became convinced that our youth are at risk
because of this horrible drug and there are at (east 200 of our youth
using crystal meth.
Therefore, I made my decision to challenge members of
Meadowridge Rotary to use our club's resources to focus on
educating our youth and raising public awareness of the horrors of
crystal meth. This drug is not unique to Maple Ridge and some
would say it is reaching pandemic levels. Someone said; "Somebody
should do something." And when I asked members of Meadowridge
Rotary for their endorsement to facilitate a campaign against crystal
meth, they supported my project unanimously.
On July 29 the Club organized a meeting and invited all of the
organization, government agencies, law enforcement personnel and
people directly affected by crystal meth. We expected 30 people and
were blown away when well over 100 attended. The meeting was
very emotional and a couple of parents had the whole room
shedding tears when they shared their stories of loss of a child
addicted to meth. We also heard from several recovering addicts,
members of our community, who spoke candidly about the horrors
of meth and its rapid addiction.
The result of our community coming together on July 29 convinced a
number of professionals who attended to join forces and pool their
resources in a combined effort to battle crystal meth. The
community took ownership! The most overwhelming feeling in the
room that day was the realization that "Somebody should do
something."
Before the meeting through discussions with professionals in our
community, it became apparent that my goal should be expanded
and that the campaign should attack the meth problem using all of
the resources we could muster for a coordinated effort. It also
became apparent that the campaign should be broken down into
three task forces.
They are: 1. Youth Education & Community Awareness
Enforcement
Addiction & Rehabilitation Services
When the campaign organization was presented to the attendees at
the initial meeting, most people volunteered to help on the above
mentioned task forces. The Chairpersons of each task force then
used the people who volunteered and supplemented their
committees with others from within and without our community.
They then attacked their jobs, establishing sub-committees and
goals. One of the committees established under the Enforcement
Task Force was the Precursors Committee and the City of Surrey
should be formally thanked by the District of Maple Ridge for
providing the expertise and time of their Fire Chief Len Garis.
Each task force then had meetings and split into subgroups, working
committees, which established their criteria and goals for the
campaign under the direction of the Chairperson of that task force.
One of the benefits of this exercise was when a eureka moment
happened at these committee meetings where one participant had
what another was looking for. The sharing of information was
significant.
There are many initiatives arising from this campaign which should
be ongoing or are yet to happen and make no doubt that this meth
epidemic is not over as this campaign comes to an end. There are
professionals now predicting a staggering increase in mental health
issues as a result of this horrible drug and there is strong evidence
that we are losing someone in our community (usually a youth) every
two weeks to crystal meth.
If there is any good news, it is that we, as a community, are doing
something and we are doing better than most other communities in
our province. We know that the work the committee chairpersons
have done so far is being used by the provincial government. A
number of senior officials in our province have told us we are being
used as a model for the government to attack the crystal meth
problem. The provincial government has just announced $64 million
to support programs in other communities doing what we have done
here in Maple Ridge.
Let us not forget that our youth are at risk and we are seeing more
and more people on our streets addicted to meth. Records from the
local police and Salvation Army show that 80 to 90% of the people
on our streets have direct ties to Maple Ridge. The Salvation Army
did not bring these people into our community and I am sure you
will hear from some of the committee chairs when they report that
five to ten people per week are entering voluntary rehabilitation
programs. Getting access to more programs is still a problem.
This is a good time to acknowledge the help given to us by both our
MLA's, Ken Stewart and Randy Hawes and our Member of Parliament,
Randy Kamp. They have all been actively involved in this campaign
and their attendance at the working committees has certainly helped
our efforts.
The lines of communication we have opened through this campaign
and the task forces, I am sure, will continue until the existing people
move on. Some thought has to be given to the establishment of
working groups to continue with some of the initiatives started by
the Crystal Meth Task Force Committees.
We hope, in our final report in January, that the committee chairs will
recommend what they see as ongoing programs and initiatives and
if you like, the three task force chairpersons could return then with
their recommendations.
In closing I would like to thank:

vir WHAT IS METH WATCH?
The Meth Watch Program is designed to help curtail
the theft and suspicious sales of pseudoephedrine
products and other common household commodities
used in the illicit manufacturing of methamphetamine
in small, underground labs. A key goal of this program
is to promote cooperation between retailers and law
enforcement agencies to prevent the diversion of
legitimate products for illegal use.
Meth Watch is modelled after a highly successful
program of the same name that originally started in
Kansas as a public-private partnership. As news spread
of its success, several American states began to adopt
the Kansas model. That prompted the U.S. Consumer
Healthcare Products Association to develop a national
program that can be easily adapted elsewhere.
The Meth Watch objectives are to:
O Increase awareness by retail employees and
management of methamphetamine production
and how precursor chemicals are diverted from
legal products into illegal manufacture of meth.
O Promote co-operation and teamwork between
retailers and law enforcement professionals.
O Reduce methamphetamine production without
disrupting the availability of legal products.
ANNA HOW METH WATCH WORKS
Meth Watch is a proven and accessible program that
has resulted in meth lab seizures, hampered small toxic
lab meth production, and decreased pseudoephedrine
product losses by retailers. While retail involvement is
key, Meth Watch is a voluntary program that involves
many people at the community level.
Participating retailers place the precursor products
involved where they can be easily monitored, and
strategically post Meth Watch signs and tags on their
store fronts and on the shelves where the products are
located. They train their employees to recognize, but not
to confront, suspicious customers, and to contact law
enforcement when suspicious purchases take place.
BOTH MANAGERS AND EMPLOYEES
have an important role in helping law enforcement stop
meth production.
MANAGERS:
O Use Meth Watch decals;
O Place meth-related products in areas with
high visibility;
O Make sure all employees understand the
Meth Watch Program;
O Tell your employees to never confront
someone suspected of being on meth.
EMPLOYEES:
O Be aware of large quantity purchases of
meth-related items;
O Be alert to people purchasing combinations
of meth-related items;
O Follow your store's procedures for reporting
unusual purchases;
O Never confront someone suspected of being
on meth.
Aft WHAT'S IN IT FOR RETAILERS?
Retailers are a prime target for meth cooks who may
steal or buy large quantities of precursor products from
their stores. Meth cooks and addicts can be dangerous
and no retailer wants to be a potential source for a
meth cook looking to manufacture this substance.
Retailers participating in the Meth Watch Program
report safer stores, better customer relations,
increased employee awareness, and improved
communications with law enforcement. Many stores
have experienced a decrease in loss from theft that is
directly related to their participation in Meth Watch.
Meth Watch partners are helping to unite their
communities against drug abuse.
BE AWARE, BUT BE SMART.
Don't take matters into your own hands. Don't confront
the purchaser. Inform your manager of suspicious
activity. And, depending on your store's procedures,
notify the RCMP Chemical Diversion Hotline at:
1-800-387-0020
Tell them you are a MetI- Watch Progran store and you
want to report suspicious behiiour.

Ailk WHAT IS METH?
Methamphetamine, also known as "meth," "speed,"
"crank," or 'ice," is a powerful and addictive stimulant
that affects the central nervous system. Meth is a
synthetic drug produced and sold as pills, capsules,
or powder that can be smoked, snorted, injected,
or swallowed.
As a neurotoxin, meth damages the nervous system.
Its use can cause dependence and addiction,
psychosis, stroke, dangerously high body temperature,
and cardiac arrhythmia. Withdrawal often results in
severe depression and paranoia.
METH PRODUCTION
Meth labs can range from small to large in size. Meth
has been made in Canada principally from bulk
quantities of chemicals in so-called "super labs." Meth
production, however, has changed significantly and law
enforcement authorities have seen an increase in the
number of small labs where meth cooks use "recipes,"
often found online, to create small amounts of the drug
from legitimate household products.
While these small homemade labs produce a tiny
fraction of the meth a "super lab" may produce, they
present a huge danger to the communities in which
they operate because toxic, hazardous, and explosive
chemicals are possible byproducts of the production
process.

0 METH CAN BE MADE FROM
COMMONLY AVAILABLE LEGITIMATE
HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS
These small labs can be found in a meth "cook's"
home, in an automobile, or alongside a road. The
ingredients used to make meth are legitimate
household materials, usually found at retail stores,
such as:
o Over-the-counter cough, cold
and allergy medicines containing
pseudoephedrine or ephedrine
o Acetone
o Rubbing and isopropyl alcohol
o Iodine
o Starter fluid (ether)
o Gas additives (methanol)
o Drain cleaner (sulphuric acid)
o Lithium batteries
o Rock salt
o Matchbooks (red phosphorus)
o Lye
o Paint thinner
o Aluminum foil
o Glassware
o Coffee filters
o Propane tanks
Retailers are in a unique position to help law
enforcement in the fight against meth, since the small-
scale labs use a number of commonly found household
products available at drugstores, supermarkets, and
other retail outlets. The Meth Watch Program addresses
this problem, and gives communities proven and
powerful tools to help curb meth production.
Crystal Meth Awareness Committee:
Public Relations Report to Council
December 14, 2004
The Crystal Meth Public Relations Committee met on several occasions to review the
materials available to members of the public and decided that there was a need for a local
publication that would incorporate elements from a number of sources in the community
into one single publication.
A 16 page booklet outlining the key issues regarding crystal Meth use in our community
will be printed and distributed in the community On January 21 ; 2005. 3000 copies of
this booklet will be produced and printed by The Times Newspaper as our contribution to
this project. It will include the personal stories of some area residents who have had to
deal with an addiction to Crystal Meth directly, or through a loved one. The
consequences, in some cases, are tragic. There is information on law enforcement and
details of which organization can help someone in the community attack this problem
head on via counseling, treatment and support. This book will also be available in a
downloadable format on The Times web site, and be made available to any organization
that chooses to post it on their site.
The Tuesday prior to the publication of the book (January 18, 2005), there will be a four
page B-Section published in The Times that will provide an outline of the book contents
to every household in the community. The content of the book will be edited to be more
widely accessible to the community, and direct people in the community for whom
Crystal Meth is touching their lives to the full booklet and community resources.
On November 23 The Times published, at no charge to the School District, the letter
from the School Board Trustees informing parents about the School District #42 Drug
Awareness Program as it relates to Crystal Meth. We have also been following a number
of stories flowing from this issue including the development of the business education
program on the materials and chemical used to make illegal drugs and the issues around
crime, especially for the local business community.
As a result of the overall Crystal Meth Campaign synergies, some new relationships have
been forged between The Times and the Ridge Meadows RCMP Detachment to enhance
the information flow between the RCMP's Crime Prevention Programs and the public.
The results of these efforts will come to fruition early in 2005.
As a result of some input from committee members, The Times is also following up on
some story topics that relate directly to the issue of drug use in the community.

Methamphelamine, also known as "meth," "speed," "crank" or "ice" can be made
from a number of household items. Most of our valuec customers bLy these products on
a regular basis for the intended use.
Some people, however, see something quite different. Their intention is to make illegal
drugs such as metharrphetamine. Frequent or large quantity purchases o these and

PRECURSORS COMMITTEE BRIEFING NOTE
Crystal Meth Enforcement Task Force
Presented to: Maple Ridge Mayor & Council
Prepared by: Len Garis, Chairperson
Precursors Committee, Enforcement Task Force
Date: December 14, 2004
Precursors / Ingredients
Our action plan is confined to one portion of the problem that speaks to the availability of the
ingredients associated with the manufacture of Crystal Meth. We believe that most in some
cases all of the ingredients are readily available for purchase by the general public and are
often purchased as household goods. The term used for these ingredients is "Precursors".
The goal of this section of the task force is to determine which ingredients are used in each
method of production for crystal meth and determine ways to restrict or regulate these
ingredients at the manufacturing and/or distribution outlets. In some cases it may be possible
to limit and or deny sale in amounts that exceed a certain thresholds or triggers.
A Meth Watch Coalition has been established and the following describes the program and
their website is http://methwatch.calhome en.htrnl. The task force will be applying for a
grant to purchase materials to distribute to retailers in the New Year.
METH WATCH
Program Brief
Methamphetamine abuse is a growing problem across Canada and the United States. Law
enforcement officials have raised concern about the illegal diversion of substances found in
everyday items into underground methamphetamine production.
The Meth Watch Coalition partners support law enforcement efforts to stop the production
and trafficking of methamphetamine. We believe a key way of supporting those efforts is by
preventing the retail diversion of household products into "mini-lab" methamphetamine
production. This problem, already estimated to contribute to 20% of all methamphetamine
production in the United States, has not yet taken hold in Canada. By keeping it that way, we
hope to help law enforcement keep its resources focused on the large-scale clandestine
methamphetamine production activities of organized crime.
That's why we are introducing the Meth Watch Program to Canada to curtail the theft and
suspicious sale of products containing pseudoephedrine and ephedrine, as well as other
household items that can be used in the illegal manufacturing of methamphetamine. A
Coalition of retail partners, law enforcement agencies, industry, pharmacy organizations and
government have come together to implement an effective national program to prevent
diversion of household products for illegal use.

Community Awareness
Prepared by: Fred Armstrong
The campaign slogan was going to be "Meth is Death" until several discussions
occurred about the need to express our program in a positive way. Our Member
of Parliament Randy Kamp suggested "Life orMeth" and it has now been
adopted as the official campaign slogan.
The group has a 16 page booklet in the works that outlines what Crystal Meth is
and what the problem is in the community, some personal stories, the law and
Meth, programs to help people who may be addicted to meth, and a call for
action by the community as a whole. Tom Barnes, Reporter for the Maple Ridge
- Pitt Meadows Times has authored the material which is currently being proofed
by some other committees. When it has been fully proofed, it will be made into
it's final form by Fred Armstrong, Publisher of The Times.
We have a sub-committee that will do education with the business community on
two fronts:
To educate businesses that may be inadvertently selling the components
to make Meth to minors (or anyone for that matter), and
To do an inventory of area businesses that are intentionally selling drug
paraphernalia to our citizens (rolling papers, hash pipes etc ... )
It is our hope that a combination of education and legislation with stiff
penalties will stop this practice.
We are trying to organize public information meetings in Maple Ridge & Pitt
Meadows geared to adults and parents away from school locations so that a very
strong message can be delivered to the public about Meth and it's impact on the
community. We will need speakers from other committees in order to make this
possible.
Finally, we need to make sure that all committees stay on the focus of Meth. In
our group we've had several conversations about the medical use of marijuana
and some vigorous debate on psychotropic drugs which are used as part of
medical therapies and how they can be addictive. While all these issues are
valid, if we get into a giant debate about our position on these peripheral issues,
we will loose the broad coalition that we've assembled here. Meth is a serious
drug and it has serious consequences. Frankly, we have enough to deal with just
trying to get people on this topic.
Youth & Family Education
Committee
Chairperson
Cheryl Ashlie - 604.463.1259
The Board of School Trustees values the support the Meadowridge Rotary Club
provides to our community, our schools and our students, and is pleased to support
their community campaign to raise public awareness of the dangers of Crystal
Meth.
The Board of School Trustees, School District No. 42, believes school districts that are
leaders in education collaborate with other public agencies, service clubs, and community
support services to improve services to the families of the children we serve. It is through
education that prevention of substance misuse can be achieved. Educating families about
substance misuse by providing current information on addictive substances, along with
strategies to help their children make positive choices, is important to be successful in
prevention. Individual agencies, organizations and public service bodies cannot do this
alone. We must all work together to be successful.
The Board of School Trustees applauds Meadowridge Rotary for taking on this
community issue and believe through supporting the campaign we can all make our
community a more safe and healthy place to raise our kids and reside.
The following is a list of actions the School District will take to support the Meadowridge
Rotary community awarness campaign. The school district is represented as the Youth
& Family Education Committee.
The Youth & Family Education Committee's focus will be twofold: first to fulfill the
Rotary awareness campaign, and second to have an ongoing educational component
in place within the school district for carry over after the campaign is over.
PARENTS: All parents will receive an information package regarding substance misuse
prevention.
This may be accompanied by the "Crystal Meth Information Booklet" produced by the
Community & Public Information Committee which is a committee made up of business
and community members who are supporting the Rotary campaign.
STUDENTS: Grade seven, eight, nine and ten teachers will receive a lesson plan from
the "Making Decisions" teachers manual as an example of what can be used to educate
students regarding substance misuse prevention. An insert containing specific
information about Crystal Meth will be'attached. This information will be available for
teachers before National Addictions Awareness week scheduled for November 14-20.
On the October 22nd District Professional Development Day a "Making Decisions"
workshop will be offered to teachers.
A discussion piece will be published in the local newspapers during National Addictions
Awareness Week, which will encourage conversation between parents and their children.

Youth-driven publication
of a 'Zine
A youth designed poster will
publicize a contest for
submissions to a "Life or
Meth" 'zine, through
alternate school and
recreation programs already
targeted for youth-at-risk and
out of school youth.
Small prizes will be given in
recognition for all
submissions, larger prizes for
those chosen and published.
A group of youth-at-risk will
be recruited for judging,
editing and publishing
submissions.
Three editing sessions will be
scheduled, each including
both working and educational
components,
200-500 copies will be
distributed to youth at risk at
a launch party, through
individual service providers,
through other youth and
available in alternate school
programs, youth centers and
other venues these youth
frequent.
What's a 'Zine?
A rough edit, homemade-style magazine, often produced by black
& white photocopying. Usually has offset printing & graphics for
visual interest. (i.e. 4 legal-size sheets, printed both sides, folded
and stapled for an 81/2 x 7 booklet)
What would the content be?
Stories, poems, songs, photos, drawings, opinion, commentary on
crystal meth, solicited from youth through the contest & personal
contacts at school, youth centers, social service providers.
Youth-at-risk?
Lame term, but how else to describe it? Youth engaging in choices
or behaviours that make them very likely to experience problems
due to their own or someone else's crystal meth use, but not
necessarily youth who use. Homelessness, being out of school or
low attachment to school, currently using meth or other drugs, etc.
Youth-driven?
Content would be chosen and edited by a voluntary group of youth
in collaboration with facilitators (committee members or others).
Youth driven means that the youth voice should take priority in
those discussions. Traditional messages about abstinence, etc.
have generally not been successful with this target audience, so the
facilitators must be open to harm-reduction and other messages.
Some content may be strongly suggested however, during
education portions of editing sessions (i.e.factoids, myths vs. facts,
withdrawal symptoms and management, chemical constituents -
sulfuric acid, kerosene, etc.)
The editing group will be recruited from among youth submitting
pieces and through further personal contacts of service providers.
Thepossibiity exists that the youth will receive some school credit
for participation, including those not currently attending school or
alternate programs.

considering current choices, where to go to get help in quitting,
cutting down or just talking about considering a change. Meeting
these youth where they are and inviting them to take one small step
away from problems toward solutions.
What about Criminal record checks?
Volunteers and service providers in direct contact with youth
through the editing sessions should be associated with an
organization which already requires criminal record checks (as
pertaining to working with children & youth) for employees and
volunteers.
What kind of education in the editing sessions?
May include videos, pamphlets, guest speakers, facilitated
discussion with varying degrees of formal/informal presentation, as
best suits the group recruited and the particular content being
addressed. Information will pertain to crystal meth and to the
knowledge and skills needed to produce a "zine of quality!
Contest prizes?
Who knows? Youth driven, but maybe a dollar or two coupon at
Tim Horton's for participation, a gift certificate for a CD, or a
Pizza for chosen content. Youth and committee volunteers will
also be soliciting donations in kind for prizes from the community.
This helps reduce costs, but it also sends a very strong message to
these marginalized youth that the community values their input,
and their health and well-being as contributing members of our
community. It helps create a relationship, so that the donors can
also learn about the contributions marginalized youth are able to
offer to the community.

Printing distribute copies to their youth clients.
Launch party Philosophy
(food, decorations)
(scheduled for National While this is a targeted campaign, with a single focus, our
Addictions Awareness Week, committee is being guided as much as possible by the The
3rd week of November - McCreary Centre Society's report Accenting the Positive; A
www.naaw.net ) developmental framework for reducing risk and promoting
positive outcomes among BC youth (available at
www.mcs.bc.ca) This report presents evidence and advice on
"protective factors to mitigate factors that place youth at risk". It
notes that targeted, single-focus or categorical campaigns vary
widely in their effectiveness. It suggests programs that promote
resiliency and view adolescents as assets rather than focussing on
their problems. These type of programs tend to reduce the
frequency of adolescent problems and risky behaviours as a natural
by-product of their implementation.
As an example, habilitation - the teaching of work-relevant
knowledge, skills and attitudes within a real-life context, with
tangible products, has been shown to have positive results.
Therefore, while the'zine is hoped to have a positive contribution
to make, our goals are also focussed on positive change which we
hope will result from participation in the contribution of writing &
art, or in the editing, education process.

Introduction
Methamphetamine manufacturing, trafficking, and abuse have been on the rise
over the past few years, as a result, this drug is having a devastating impact on
many communities including Ridge Meadows.
Scope
This action plan is confined to one portion of the problem that speaks to the
availability of the ingredients associated with the manufacture of Crystal Meth.
We believe that most in some cases all of the ingredients are readily available for
pUrchase by the general public and are often purchased as household goods.
The term used for these ingredients is" Precursors".
Goal
The goal of this section of the task force is to determine which ingredients are
used in each method of production for cystal meth and determine ways to restrict
or regulate these ingredients at the manufacturing and/or distribution outlets. In
some cases it may be possible to limit and or deny sale in amounts that exceed a
certain thresholds or triggers.
Commentary
We believe from our literary review and discussion with RCMP members to date
that there is merit in implementing restricted access to Precursors. However so
far in our research there is no specific knowledge of the exact ingredients used. It
is also important to note, that if this approach is.successful other ; ingredients that
are more volatile may find there way into the manufacture of Meth.
Action Plan
Precursors
1. Identify and list the retail and commercial ingredients (consumer product
names) and their quantities used (by method) in the manufacture of meth.
Action: RCMP & Health Canada to provide a comprehensive list. There would
also be merit in assigning resources to this as likely the ingredients will vary and
change from region to region and overtime.
Lobby
Have the two local councils pass resolutions to authorize the Mayors to
write the College of Pharmacists of British Columbia, to restrict
Pseudoephedrine, Ephedrine and Ephedra from being sold as a off the
shelf to a behind the counter product and to limit the quantities to
applicable dosages for their intended use. The Alberta College voluntarily
commenced this action on July 6, 2004.
Action: City Clerks department prepare reports for a Council meeting, City
Clerks prepare letter and send them to the College.
Education
It will become apparent from the results of action number one there are
numerous household products associated with the manufacturing of Meth.
Action: All retail outlets will receive information on the problem and associated
social problems through information bulletins and specific checklists of products
for display. Retail outlets will be encouraged to voluntarily limit or deny the sale of
quantities and or combination or products that become known to this task force
as Precursors.
Legal
Explore various legal options within the new powers of the local
government act to restrict, control or regulate the sale and quantities of the
various Precursors. A threshold may need to be determined and applied.
Action: This is an option worth consideration; voluntary compliance may not
achieve the desired level of participation necessary to reduce the availability of
the known Precursors. Public safety director requests a legal opinion.
Enforcement
Explore the various criminal charges that could be applied to a person -or
persons who with knowledge indirectly aid in the manufacture by way of
distribution of precursors. A threshold may need to be determined and
applied.
Action: Crown bouncil or Federal crown council to provide advise on how this
might be applied. It will be useful if this idea can be applied and then included in
the communications to the retailers. Once retailers have been warned of the
various Precursors the stakes may be somewhat higher to pay attention to what
they are selling and to who they are selling.

Judicial Liaison Committee
I Perspectives shared by group members......
RCMP:
• Gather information for prosecutors
• Members feel they are on a "Catch & Release" program with
outcome not serving to act as a deterrent and/or assist with
rehabilitation
• Many, many repeat offenders
COMN4UNTTY:
• Crystal Meth is poisoning our children; creating mental
deficiencies
• Lack of rehab facilities for those needing assistance
• Outcomes of court decisions do not serve the community/public
interest or the interest of the offender. Hardened criminals do not
get sentences that act as deterrent; those requiring help not directed
towards rehabilitation.
• Increased cOoperation between Provincial prosecutors & RCMP
has been appreciated; same required at Federal level.
MUNICIPAL:
• Senior governments are producing budget surpluses that do not
account for cost to communities. A form of downloading.
II Recommended courses of Action
A "Court Watch" program to monitor & report on specific cases
Community Impact Statements to include attendance by
community representatives in court
More collaborative effort between Federal Prosecutors & local
authorities
Providing information to Judiciary on Crystal Meth.
III Current Status
Recently court cases have been identified. Starting to prepare a
historical account of what took place the outcome and where we
are today.
Community Impact Statements have been drafted for the
Enforcement Task Force Chairs consideration.
Provincial Crown Council working with local detachment to see
how they can work better.
Sherry Mumford will be coming to one of our meetings within the
next 2 months to advise of the resources available for drug
treatment, including treatment for crystal meth addiction. This
group includes judges, crown prosecutors and defence so it will
inform a good cross section of the criminal justice system of what's
available (and maybe give some feed back on what we in the
system need).

The service providers across the continuum of Mental Health and Addictions recognize
that there has been an increased demand for services as a result of the growing
numbers of individuals experiencing the effects of mental illness and substance misuse.
This campaign is an opportunity to engage our community partners to work
collaborativély in addressing some of these issues.
There is a significant rate Of drugand alcohol use in our community and within
the range of drugs used,, crystal meth is a significant and serious issue for Maple Ridge
and Pitt Meadows. While the campaign is focusing specifically on'crystal meth,
identified initiatives are applicable beyond this one drug. The problems experienced by
individuals suffering from mental health and/or addictions issues crosses the age barrier
and affects both youth and adults. To fully impact and support this population there is a
need to address the problem from a holistic perspective. This includes addressing not
only the mental health and addiction issues but also basic needs such as housing and
employment.
This campaign is an exciting Opportunity to share with the community some of
the initiatives Mental Health and Addictions have been collaborating on to improve
services to the community.
In addition to the services already being provided by Mental Health and
Addictions this campaign has further supported the development of collaborative
partnerships between these community individuals and organizations.

• Initiative - Psychiatric Liaison Nurse for the Emergency Department at Ridge
Meadows Hospital
Fraser Health recognizes there is an increased demand for services required for
for individuals experiencing mental health and/or addictions problems. Many of these
individuals present in the emergency department looking for support and services. This
puts additional pressure on the already busy Emergency departments. Funding has
been allocated to implement psychiatric nurse liaison positions in the emergency
departments throughout the region to better address the needs of this population,
including but not exclusive to issues arising from Crystal meth..
For Maple Ridge / Pitt Meadows, this will enhance our current emergency
department services. The psychiatric nurse liaison will have experience working with
individuals with these complex co-occurring disorders., There will be two positions (.76
each) which will provide coverage seven days per week - 7.5 hours per day. The plan
for implementation of these positions will be November 2004.
The psychiatric nurse liaison will be based in the Emergency department at
Ridge Meadows Hospital (RMH), and his/her role will include assessment, consultation,
stabilization and referral to appropriate resources. Key to this role will be the linkages
with our community partners. The nurse will link with Maple Ridge Mental Health, Maple
Ridge Treatment Centre (MRTC), Alouette Addictions. Services and the inpatient unit at
RMH. He/ she will also provide liaison services with the RCMP, the Caring Place, the
Ministry of Human Resources and other community organizations to address the
complex health needs and social determinants of these individuals.

The focus of this task group was to evaluate the resources available to individuals
seeking assistance with substance misuse problems. Specifically, the task group:
• Identified the need to enhance awareness of resources;
• Identified opportunities to enhance the coordination between various agencies in
the community concerned with this client population;
• Considered the need to improve access to services available to those with
substance misuse issues.
The following initiatives are to be undertaken in support of the mandate of the Task
Force:
Initiatives:
Develop a comprehensive list Of current resources and processes to access.
There is a wealth of services such as Withdrawal Management Centres, Treatment
Programs, etc. available to residents who wish to make changes associated with
substance misuse. The team recognises the need to publish a comprehensive list of
contact and access information for these resources. This listing will be made available
on the web during the campaign.
2. Communicate the new resources coming available to residents, and ensure
equitable access to these resources for residents. of our communities.
Fraser Health is implementing 18 new regional withdrawal management beds in the next
year, bringing total number to 40. Fraser Health is adding 17 new support/recovery beds
bringing the total to 125 beds for the region. Currently Fraser Health has 132 intensive
residential treatment beds. All of these current and new resources are Fraser Health
wide resources. Processes for accessing these services will be reviewed to ensure that
residents in our communities have equitable access to these regional resources.
3. Improved integration between addictions services and mental health services can
be realised by the addition of dedicated psychiatnc sessions to support
addictions service providers in our communities.
An application has been made for sessions to provide increased psychiatric resources for
the population in need. If approved, the team will work out the processes by which
treatment service providers can refer clients for psychiatric assessment.
