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 resolutions.

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and Procedures Bylaw and as a result, all readings of Bylaw No. 4890 - 1993 given for that application (RZ-37-92) were rescinded by Council on May 22, 2001.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. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Paul Hayes Owner: First National Properties Ltd & U G S Contractors LTD Legal Description: The North East Quarter Section 11, Township 12, Except: Firstly, Part subdivided by Plan 23771; Secondly: Parcel "A" (Statutory Right of Way Plan LMP 1489), NWD and a portion of Lot 9, Section 11, Township 12, Plan 1363, NWD OCP: Existing: Suburban Residential, Extension To Forest Reserve, Park Proposed: Suburban Residential, Forest Reserve, Park Zoning: Existing: A-2 (Upland Agricultural) Proposed: RG-2 (Suburban Residential Strata Zone), A-2 (Upland Agricultural) Surrounding Uses: North: South: East: West: Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Access: Servicing: Previous Applications: Designation: Suburban Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Park Zone: A-2 (Upland Agricultural) Designation: Suburban Residential, Single Family Residential (12 upnh) (4.8 upna) Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Suburban Residential, Forest Reserve, Extension to Forest Reserve, Utilities Zone: A-2 (Upland Agricultural) Forest Suburban Residential Strata, Forest Reserve, Park Bosonworth Avenue and 108th Avenue None RZ/37192 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 (rared: Jim Charlebois, MURP CIP Approved by: Frank Qu , .Eng., PMP GM: P lic orks & Development Services Concurre4ce: J.

Staff Recommendation: Based on the information provided in this report, staff recommend that Council not authorize Application AL/113/04 forproperty located at 12476 232nd Street to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission. In the event that this application is forwarded, both the applicant and the Commission are to be provided with an understanding of the current OCP policy and servicing constraints on the property, as outlined in this report. 707. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Owner: Legal Description OCP: Existing: Zoning: Existing: Surrounding Uses North: South: East: West: Existing Use of Property Access: Heidi N Barker CurtisDHamm Lot: 14, Section: 21, Township: 12, Plan: 37533\\ AGR (Agricultural) RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Farm use, designated Agricultural, zoned RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential), 100 % within the Agricultural Land Reserve, with farm class status according to BC Assessment Authority information. 8 properties, residential use, designated Single Family, zoned CD- 1-93 (Special Amenity District) and RS-lb (One Family Urban Residential). Farm use, designated Agricultural, zoned RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential), 100 % within the Agricultural Land Reserve, with farm class status according to BC Assessment Authority information. Residential use, designated Single Family Use, split zoned RS-lb (One Family Urban Residential) and RT-1 (Two Family, Urban Residential) Residential 232'd Street Project Description: The subject property is located near the intersection of 232d Street and 124th Avenue and comprises a parcel size of 0.809 hectares (2.0 acres). The applicants anticipate subdivision and residential development of the subject property to an urban standard. Planning Analysis: On July 19, 2004, a report for processing exclusion applications was received by Council outlining legal implications and the local government's role in processing applications for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve. Council resolved to consider the following options for referring applications to the Agricultural Land Commission: • The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with no comment. • The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with comments. • The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a recommendation to exclude the property with or without comments. -2- • The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a recommendation to not exclude the property with or without comments. The application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission. Rural Plan The subject property lies within Sub Area B of the 1997 Rural Plan Advisory Committee's final report. 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. -3- 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.

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. a) Background Context: Applicant: Ekistics Design Owner: S V.BhattilD.Ball Legal Description: Lot 1, District Lot 408, Plan 68665 & Lot 2, Except: Firstly: part subdivided by Plan 45889 & Secondly: part subdivided by Plan 68665, Thirdly: part subdivided by Plan 71697, District Lot 408, Group 1, New Westminster District, Plan 11873 OCP: Existing: Single Family Residential (18 units per net hectare) Proposed: Single Family Residential (18 units per net hectare) and Conservation Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Proposed: CD-1-93 (Comprehensive Development) Surrounding Uses: North: South: East: West: Kanaka Creek Regional Park Residential Residential Residential Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential Single Family Residential Proposed Use of Property: Access: Access to the subdivision will be from 240 Street and from an internal road and lane network Servicing: All services exist at the property line 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.

It is recommended that Council approve the strata conversion subject to the conditions outlined in this report. - RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the strata conversion of the existing previously occupied 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 structurally and mechanically sound and is in substantial compliance with the British Columbia Building Code referred to in the Building Regulations of British Columbia. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Alan Thompson Owner: Brian and Judith Townsend Legal Description: Lot 21, DL 241, Gp.1, NWD, Plan LMP569 1 OCP: Single Family Residential (18 upnh) Zoning: RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) Surrounding Uses North: Use: Zone: Designation South: Use: Zone: Designation East: Use: Zone: Designation: West: Use: Zone: Designation Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Access: Servicing: Haney Pitt Meadows Christian School P-2 (Special Institutional) School, Single Family Residential (18 upnh) Residential RS-lb (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential Single Family Residential 18 upnh) Residential RS-lb (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential Single Family Residential 18 Upnh) Residential RS-lb (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential Single Family Residential (18 upnh) Duplex Duplex - Strata 1 20B Avenue and 204B Street Full urban 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.

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 Prepared by: David Stevenson Plantriiag Technician .I.P Approved by/ Frank Quinn / GM: Piblic Works & Development Services Concurrence: J.

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. Submitted' lYy: Andrew Wood, M.Eng., P.Eng.

The purpose of these by-law amendments is to allow a mixed use development including 2 commercial buildings fronting Dewdney Trunk Road and 8 detached bare-land strata units fronting 238B Street. The site is presently included into Development Permit Area XXXVII to address the form and character of service commercial development. This proposal also includes an OCP amendment to amend the Development Permit Area XXXVII designation to include the commercial development site into Development Permit Area Vifi in order to address the form and character of commercial development, and to include the multifamily residential development site into Development Permit Area XXXIV in order to establish objectives and guidelines for the form and character of multi-family and intensive residential development. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That, acknowledging that Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6241-2004 has been considered in conjunction with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan, Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6241-2004 be read a first time and forwarded to Public Hearing; 2.. That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No.6242-2004 be read a first time and be forwarded to Public Hearing; and 3. That the following term(s) and condition(s) be met prior to final reading. 1) 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; Amendment to Schedules "A" & "H" of the Official Community Plan; WW Road dedication as required; Supplementary traffic study to confirm that the distance between the proposed 238B Street driveway and the intersection of 238B Street and Dewdney Trunk Road is of an adequate length to handle the expected traffic up to the year 2015; to provide site access that does not create traffic problem; Submission of a subdivision layout; AL HOGARTH WAYNE E HALL and BONITA J HALL Lot: 28, Section: 21, Township: 12, Plan: LMP30403 SCOMM (Service Commercial) Community Commercial, Compact Housing 40 RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) C-2 (Community Commercial), RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Owner: Legal Description: OCP: Existing: Proposed: Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Surrounding Uses North: South East West: Use: Zone: Designation Use: Zone: Designation Use: Zone: Designation Use: Zone: Designation Single Family Dwelling RS-lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) SFR-1 8 (Single Family residential 18 units per net hectare) Single Family Dwelling RS-lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential SFR- 18 (Single Family residential 18 units per net hectare) School District 42 Facilities Department - Maintenance and Custodial Services Building P-6 (Civic Institutional) INST (Institutional) Single Family Dwelling RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) SCOMM (Service Commercial) Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Access: Servicing: Previous Applications: Single Family Dwelling Service Commercial and Townhouse Residential 23 8B Street, Dewdney Trunk Road Sanitary and Water connects available RZI03 5/99, VP/00 1/96, VP/0 14/95, SD/046/93, RZ/055/93, RZ/031/88, AL/001/88 -2- 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. Prepared by Jn Lee CP, MCIP Approved by: prank Quinn, P.Eng., PMP Public Works & Development Services /4 Concurrenfi: J. L.

Owner: Progressive Construction Ltd. Legal Description: Lot 18, Plan 46272 & Lot B, Plan 15402 both of Section 28, Township 12, NWD. OCP: Existing: Low Density Urban, Conservation, & Open Space Proposed: Low Density Urban & Conservation Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential), RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Proposed: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential), RS-lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density)Residential) Surrounding Uses North: Use: Residential Zone: R-1 (Residential District) Designation Low/Medium Residential South: Use: Residential Zone: RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Designation: Conservation & Low Density Residential East: Use: Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Conservation & Low Density Residential West: Use: Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Conservation, Open Space & Low Residential Existing Use of Property: Residential Proposed Use of Property: Residential 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. -5- 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.

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.

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.

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.

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: TASK FORCE CHAIRS: JAN ICE ARMSTRONG VALERIE SPURRELL COMMITTEE CHAIRS: FRED ARMSTRONG CHERYL ASHLIE PHIL DEGAGNE BROCK McDONALD DAVE WALSH LEN GARIS PAUL GILL BARB WARDROPE & WES SAWCHUCK JUDITH MACRAE &JIM KELLY KATHIE CHIU GEOFF THOMPSON LIST MANAGER: jONIE LAGRANGE WEB MASTERS: DOUGLAS COMMUNICATIONS CAMPAIGN FACILITATOR: GORD ROBSON MAPLE RIDGE - PITT MEADOWS t) CRYSTAL METH CAMPAIGN CAMPAIGN ASSISTANT JONIE LAGRANGE INITIAL MEETING JULY 29/04 YOUTH EDUCATION ENFORCEMENT & COMMUNITY AWARENESS TASK FORCE TASK FORCE (ENF) (YECA) INSP.

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.

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.

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. Respectfully Submitted by Fred Armstrong Committee Chair j\ I 9 _j 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.

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. ff Meth Watch Program Elements Web site: • Background on methamphetamine • Description of the Meth Watch Program • Description of how Meth Watch works • Meth Watch materials • Link to a Meth watch on-line training course for retail employees. Meth Watch materials: • Downloadable manager pamphlet • Downloadable employee poster showing and highlighting precursor chemicals • Downloadable door and shelf decals. E-learning portal: Meth Watch Preparedness course approximately 20 minutes in length using graphics, text and audio. The program will deliver best practices for clerks and sales personnel to recognize and report suspicious sales transactions to law enforcement. The program will also illustrate Meth Watch retail awareness tools. Meth Watch Program Best Practices • Place precursor products in areas with high visibility • End of aisle in open or high traffic areas • Aisles with video surveillance • Checkout counter • Use Meth Watch door decals • Use Meth Watch shelf tags in areas where pseudoephedrine-containing products are located • Report suspicious transactions to RCMP toll-free Chemical Diversion Hotline • Train employees to help administer the program Meth Watch Coalition Partners Canadian Association of Chain Drug Stores Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers National Convenience Store Distributors Association NDMAC Retail Council of Canada Royal Canadian Mounted Police 2 MAP E RIDGE CRYSTA METH CAMPAIGN 1 A (c©z Presented September 30, 2004 Sponsored by Meadowridge Rotary Club Special Thanks to: Randy Kamp, MP Ken Stewart, MLA Randy Hawes, MLA Updated: 12/14/2004 YOUTH EDUCATION. & COMMUNITY AWARENESS TASKFORCE CHAIRPERSON: MARY ROBSON 604.463.3333 ext. 2.

Phil Degägne -. 604.816.5179 Community & Public Awareness Committee Chairperson Fred Armstrong - 604.463.2281 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 At Risk Committee Chairperson Phil Degagne - 604.816.5179 Crystal Meth Community Task Force Youth-at-Risk Committee 10/20/04 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. 91 Crystal Meth Community Task Force Youth-at-Risk Committee 10/20/04 Committee Members: Phil Degagné - Chair School-Based Prevention Coordinator Alouette Addictions Services Dave Speers Youth Services Program Assistant Greg Moore Youth Centre Municipalities of Maple Ridge &.Pitt Meadows Mary Reagh Social Worker Youth Team, Ministry for Family & Child Development Coralee McMyn Youth Care Worker Garibaldi Secondary School School District #42 Annette McComb Aboriginal Support Worker School District #42 Jonathan Evans Concerned citizen & Worker Salvation Army's "Caring Place" Recruitment continuing: targets youth worker - alternate programs, teacher- secondary school/student support services Goals? Reduced harm - so tips on reducing harm, stones to encourage re- 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. 20 Crystal Meth Community Task Force Youth-at-Risk Committee 10/20/04 Bud2et items: Communications Prizes A paid hotmail account with larger memoly storage capability will Hotmail account be purchased to accept submissions, along with an easily remembered domain name (i.e.lifeormethcontest@,hotmail.com ) Domain name A youth designed poster will advertise the contest, hotmail, entry info, as well as bringing attention to the community campaign. Food @ 3 editing meetings (PIZZA & POP!!!) The 'zine itself will be distributed at the launch party, as well as in various locations frequented by marginalized youth (i.e. alternate Poster photocopying and school programs, counselling agencies, social service agencies, paper income assistance, food bank, drop-in medical clinics, Iron Horse Youth Clinic, etc.). Individual service providers may also 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. 1(1] ENFORCEMENT TASK FORCE CHAIRPERSON: Insp.

Manufacturers Precursors Committee Chairperson Len Garis - 604.543.6700 Manufacturers Precursors Committee 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.

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).

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. CRYSTAL METH ADDICTIONS & REHAB TASK FORCE FIRST RESPONSE / LINKING OF SERVICES LEADS - JIM KELLY & JUDITH MACRAE • 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. CRYSTAL METH ADDICTIONS & REHAB TASK FORCE FIRST RESPONSE I LINKING OF SERVICES LEADS - JIM KELLY & JUDITH MACRAE Initiative - Community Outreach Worker An additional link in the continuum of mental health and addictions services will be a community outreach worker. This individual will be essential in establishing relationships with business, community partners and the clients requiring service. The funding for this position (two individuals - % time each) has recently been granted through HRSDC monies to Alouette Home Start Society and will be administered through Alouette Addictions Services. The funding for this position will be for 15 months and the hope is that the position will be seen as invaluable to the community and more sustainable funding will be provided. The intention of this position is to work in conjunction with the Bylaws Officer for the District of Maple Ridge and the ROMP. This individual will establish relationships with the business people in the community who are affected by the homeless people. He/she will offer education around the plight of the homeless and work towards a more amenable solution. This individual shall also work with the homeless people to educate them on the resources available in the community and region to assist them. The community outreach worker will also be able to support the other service providers across the continuum of Mental Health and Addictions in determining which resource can provide the most appropriate service. The intended commencement date for this individual is November 2004. Improved Access to Services Committee Co -Chairpersons Barb Wardrope - 604.463.8296 Wes Sawchuk - 604.466.6972 Crystal Meth Task Force Improving Access to Services Commiftee Leads: Barb Wardrope Wes Sawchuk Salvation Army Caring Place Maple Ridge Treatment Centre (604) 463-8296 (604) 466-6970 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.
