Future Plans A new Adopt-a-Street program will take Adopt-a-Block to new levels; the goal is to have our major roadways and arterial roads adopted by service groups, etc. Adopt-a-Block will need Municipal approval of the Adopt-a-Street signs as well as help with the placement of signs and the pick-up and disposal of collected waste. Increase in Adopt-a-Block Refuse Containers Increase the number of painted cans located around Thomas Haney Secondary School and place them around Garibaldi and Westview schools. Stronger Role in Illegal Dumping Adopt-a-Block would like have more signs placed in problem areas, work with the Municipality to locate problem areas, appeal to the public to report illegal dumping and give information about the suspects, and provide more awareness through the local newspapers. Request for Funding Mr. White added that Adopt-a-Block is making a contribution to the Municipality and a difference through its dynamic and forward thinking programs. He asked that Council give consideration to their request for funding in the upcoming 1999 budget deliberations. The Mayor thanked Adopt-a-Block for their presentation, noting that their request will be taken into consideration during the upcoming budget deliberations. Councillor Levens thanked Adopt-a-Block for their help during the Communities in Bloom Competition and presented them with replicas of the Communities in Bloom award certificate. 03.02 Downtown Action Plan Advisory Committee - See also Item 07.02.05 The Mayor acknowledged Bill Draper, Chair; Paul Panek, Vice Chair; and Peter Hill of the above noted Committee who were in attendance and thanked them for all their hard work and dedication leading up to the Downtown Action Plan. Mr. Draper asked that progress on the downtown project follow as closely as possible the recommendations of the Committee. He noted that the downtown will be a separate and Council Meeting Minutes November 10, 1998 Page 5 unique entity and will often need separate and individual kinds of attention. Staff has fulfilled their mandate and submitted their report and recommendations to Council and he asks that Council recognize that special individualized efforts will have to be put into the downtown if it is to be what everyone told the Committee it should be. Councillor Clements responded that it has been a pleasure to work with the Committee and they did an excellent job. He noted that this Committee was established as a direct result of the Official Community Plan and Policy 48 in particular. He read policy 48 into the record as follows: "Maple Ridge will encourage the enhancement of the Town Centre area to provide the District focus for business, commercial, retail, office, cultural and entertainment facilities, and higher density residential uses by developing a downtown action plan to stimulate re- development". Councillor Baker congratulated the Committee on a job well done, noting that it involved considerable work and consultation with every sector of the community and the next step is for Council to consider the recommendations in the staff report. 03.03 Recreation Services - Update on Summer Programs The General Manager of Community Development, Parks and Recreation Services introduced the following staff of the Park and Leisure Services Department who gave a power point presentation on the 1998 summer programs for youth as follows: Lex Tiernev.

Discussion The Municipal Clerk advised that the adjacent property owners were notified of the application to permit a relaxation in the required road width of 241 Street from 7 to 6.1 metres. The following response has been received: Letter from Mr. Marc Alexander of 12510 - 241 Street dated November 10, 1998 asking that the narrower roadway not be allowed as it will constitute a traffic hazard. Council Meeting Minutes 14 November 10, 1998 Page 7 Councillor King stated that it is her understanding this is a temporary solution and when adjacent properties develop the road will be widened to Municipal standards. The Director of Current Planning confirmed that will be the case, although, he cannot say for certain when the adjacent properties will be in a position to re- develop. The problem in this instance is the steeply sloping topography within the road right-of-way. Councillor King questioned what safety measures and signage will be put in place to ensure the safety of the motorists, etc. The General Manager of Public Works and Development Services advised that the Engineering Department will be ensuring that the appropriate signage and safety mechanisms are in place along this stretch of road and it will be done in accordance with Municipal standards.

Discussion On question, the Municipal Clerk advised that due to advertising requirements, etc., the application cannot go to Public Hearing until December 15th at the earliest. Councillor Clements stated that the hours of operation of the proposed retail use are not indicated in the report and he would like to have them identified. Councillor Gordon stated that it is her understanding there is no increase proposed in the size of the retail space. She is interested having the application go to Public Hearing in order to hear the comments of the residents of the area. The General Manager of Community Development and Recreational Services confirmed that the size of the retail area is exactly as originally proposed. It is simply intended to expand the products that would be available. It is the intent of the proponents to enhance services to their customers who are in the building for a long period of hours during the day. Councillor King also indicated her support for the application going to Public Hearing. She asked if Council could be provided with some clarification as to the hours of operation of all the activities at the new arena prior to the Public Hearing. The motion CARRIED. 07.02.03 DP/48/97— 12108-208 Street Reference was made to the staff report dated October 15, 1998. in support of the following recommendation contained therein: Council Meeting Minutes November 10, 1998 Page 10 R/98-571 MOVED by Councillor Stewart DP/48/97 SECONDED by Councillor Gordon 12108-208 St. that the Municipal Clerk be authorized to sign and seal DP/48197 respecting property located at 12108 - 208 Street. Discussion Councillor Gordon noted that there were 7 recommendations and suggestions made by the Advisory Design Panel and questioned if they had been addressed. The Director of Current Planning responded that the Advisory Design Panel concerns related to the landscape plan and they have all been incorporated into a revised landscape plan. Councillor Clements referred to proposed walkways and asked how they will be maintained. The Director of Current Planning advised that walkways proposed in the plan are actually private walkways between residences within the townhouse development. They will be maintained by the residents of that development. The motion CARRIED. 07.02.04 RZ/17/98 - 11194 Maple Meadows Way - RS-3 to CS-1 Reference was made to the staff report dated October 5, 1998 in support of the following recommendation contained therein with respect to the subject application: R/98-572 MOVED by Councillor Levens RZ/17/98 SECONDED by Councillor Clements to Pub. Hear. that Application RZ/17/98 (for property located at 11194 Maple Meadows Way) to rezone property described in the staff report dated from RS-3 (One Family Residential) to CS-1 (Service Commercial) be forwarded to Public Hearing, noting that the conditions to be met prior to Public Hearing and prior to final consideration of the Zone Amending By-law are detailed in that report and that the accompanying Official Community Plan Amending By-law be forwarded to the same Public Hearing. Discussion Councillor King advised that she has a problem with this proposal, particularly in a policy sense. It is to facilitate rezoning without a development plan which is a Council Meeting Minutes 14 November 10, 1998 Page 11 departure from the normal procedure for rezoning which normally requires a development plan. The Mayor noted questioned if the proposal is subject to a Development Permit. The Chief Administrative Officer responded that Council can require a Development Permit. The question Councillor King raises relates to a previous report that was considered by Council whereby two options for rezoning the property were presented. The options were (1) hold off on the rezoning until a development plan is submitted and (2) consider rezoning the site without a business plan. Council has asked that a recommendation be brought back to them with respect to Option 2. He further noted that the surrounding area is predominantly commercial now. If Council wants to see a specific project, a Development Permit could be part of the application and then the Development Permit would come before Council. Councillor King responded it would be preferable to have a Development Permit in the absence of anything else. She is concerned about setting a precedent as facilitating rezoning without a development plan is contrary to the current policy. The application has not been presented as an exception and no rationale is given for the exception. She questioned how many other people will want to rezone without benefit of a development plan. The Chief Administrative Officer responded that in principle it is not inappropriate to proceed with zoning without a development plan when it meets the intent of the Official Community Plan (OCP). It could speed up development if sites are pre-zoned, particularly commercial sites which is always a problem. In this case, the site is totally surrounded by non-residential buildings. The Director of Current Planning clarified that Condition 6 in the staff report seeking an amendment to Schedules "A" and "H" of the OCP is a requirement for a Development Permit. Councillor Clements advised that this is a land use proposal at this stage and anything that is built will require a building permit. He has difficulty referring to the method being used as a "policy" when it is only a procedure. Councillor Gordon stated that regardless of whether this is considered an appropriate or inappropriate land use, she feels that development plans are important as they give Council an opportunity to discuss the quality of development that is happening in the community. That is an important issue. She will support this application going forward as it will come back to Council at the Development Permit stage. That is critical requirement as Council does not see the application at the building permit stage. Council Meeting Minutes November 10, 1998 Page 12 Councillor Clements noted that in many cases the applicant provides Council with drawings at the land use stage which are then used to facilitate the sale of the land. The drawings are a useless activity if that project does not come to fruition in the final analysis. Councillor King responded that people in the area are interested in what the land will be used for no matter what type of building is being proposed. A Development Permit is only subject to Council scrutiny; it is not subject to public comment. She feels that this is a way to get around public comment, which she finds offensive, and she will vote against the motion. Councillor Levens stated that she wants the application to go to Public Hearing and be done with. She added that Council is trying to keep jobs in Maple Ridge and she does not feel that everyone in Maple Ridge has to come and comment on this building before it is even built. The person who owns this piece of property has the right to build on it in accordance with the standards of the Municipality. The Mayor noted that staff will ensure that the Development Permit guidelines are followed. The motion CARRIED. Councillor King OPPOSED. 07.02.05 Downtown Action Plan - Implementation Update Reference was made to the staff report dated October 20, 1998 in support of the following recommendation contained therein: P198-573 MOVED by Councillor Levens Downtown SECONDED by Councillor Clements Action Plan that the report dated October 20, 1998 providing an update on the implementation of the Downtown Action Plan be received; and further that the Downtown Action Plan Advisory Committee be recognized for their efforts in developing the Downtown Action Plan and for contributing as volunteers to their community. Discussion The Mayor emphasized Council's appreciation for the work the Committee has done. Councillor Gordon indicated that the motion to receive the plan does not give any information on what Council's intentions are with respect to the Downtown 'So Council Meeting Minutes November 10, 1998 Page 13 Action Plan. She read into the record the following six point plan that Council has committed to: The core redevelopment project will be the immediate Council priority to bring business and community development to the core area in a manner that reflects the Downtown Action Plan. Council will ensure that the Downtown Action Plan is used as a guiding document in the preparation of business and capital expenditure plans and it will be considered in the review process for development applications requiring a Council decision. The Capital Expenditure Program will include a long term commitment to the downtown area and strategic actions will be developed to address the needed traffic facility improvements, including parking and pedestrian facilities, and overall streetscape improvements. Council will review and monitor, on an ongoing basis, the land use policies and zoning for the downtown to ensure their relevance; and a Development Permit Area designation with design guidelines will be pursued. Council supports and will pursue the concept of a downtown business improvement area as a means to organize downtown property and business interests and to achieve co-ordinated improvements to the core area. As well, it should be noted that the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (U.B.C.M.) Conference in September of 1998 supported the resolution. of Council that the Provincial Downtown Revitalization Program be reinstituted. This may provide an additional source of support for Council efforts. Council will consider acquisition of strategic properties in the downtown area for the purpose of facilitating future development, traffic and parking, and other improvements to the core area. Councillor Gordon added that it is important for the public to know where the Municipality is putting its resources. She further noted that the Downtown Action Plan Advisory Committee's recommendations are very well thought out and deserving of Council's support. S Councillor Clements stated that it was a long process to establish the guideline items. There were 57 recommendations in the Committee's report. He pointed out that a distinction should be made between "revitalization" and "redevelopment". The Provincial Downtown Revitalization Program was different than this proposed redevelopment program and while that type of program would be of some help, it is not a broad in scope as the recommendations contained in the Committee's report. Council Meeting Minutes November 10, 1998 Page 14 The motion CARRIED. 07.02.06 Silver Valley - Petition from Residents Reference was made to the staff report dated October 21, 1998 providing comments on the Silver Valley Petition and recommending that the report be received. The Committee added an additional recommendation to explore the concept of performance bonding for all development areas in Maple Ridge. (see Item 07.02.06.02). P198-574 07.02.06.01 Silver Valley Petition MOVED by Councillor SECONDED by Councillor that the staff report dated October 21, 1998 regarding the Silver Valley Petition be received for information. Discussion Councillor King advised that she really appreciates the work that the residents of Silver Valley put into the petition and the challenge they have given Council to work with the OCP, particularly in the environmental area. Council has to be careful to address the conôems they have raised. Councillor Stewart noted that a number of different developments are scheduled for this area. It is a diversified area and Council has to look at the individual applications. The specifics for each site are important and Council has to consider the needs of each subdivision. It will be the focus of our environmental staff to uncover these concerns and ensure they are looked after. Councillor Gordon stated that she finds it heartening that the residents of Silver Valley are willing to spend time and effort to make presentations to Council and also give some positive recommendations of what they would like done. The Mayor noted that Silver Valley has been designated for development since 1981 and the Municipality has followed the procedure in sequence that is necessary for developing the area. Councillor Clements added that the process to develop Silver Valley has been ongoing for 17 years and there have been numerous studies done and consultation programs completed. It is gratifying to see that the residents have taken time to Council Meeting Minutes November 10, 1998 Page 15 look into that and are beginning to recognize that Council and the residents are looking to do the same things. Councilor King stated that the people in Silver Valley are looking fOr a better standard for development than what has occurred in other places in the lower mainland. They want something that is better and different and profoundly respectful of the watershed. They have made many suggestions and want an expert to come and met with Council. She hopes that Council will look upon their suggestions favourably. The motion CARRIED.

CARRIED Council Meeting Minutes November 10, 1998 Page 20 08 MA FOR 'S REPORTS The Mayor asked the General Manager of Public Works and Development to report on a meeting with the Greater Vancouver Regional District (G.V.R.D.) regarding the transfer station. The General Manager of Public Works and Development advised that he and the Mayor met this morning with the G.V.R.D. to review the status of the transfer station. The G.V.R.D. has indicated that they are prepared to continue to renew the five year lease agreement with the Ridge Meadows Recycling Society on their current property. They will be expanding their site to accommodate green waste. He further advised that effective March of 1999 there will be an increase in tipping fees at the transfer station. The fee will rise from the current $2 per visit to $3 on weekdays and $6 on weekends. There will be an increase in the amount of weight that is allowed from 67 pounds to 100 pounds. The G.V.R.D. is trying to encourage people to stockpile their garbage before in order to reduce the weekend trips to the transfer station. The Mayor reported the following items of interest: Mr. Bill Hartley, M.L.A., is continuing to work with Council to find ways to preserve Blaney Bog.

It is a dangerous situation as many parents drive their children to Kanaka Creek School and the area is very congested. The Mayor noted that the Municipality has had difficulty acquiring a piece of property in order to complete the road improvements in question. The Chief Administrative Officer added that staff is looking into some programs that will assist the children in being able to walk to school.

Durksen DATE: October 16, 1998 and Members of Council FILE NO: DVP/28/98 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W - PW & Dev SUBJECT: DVP/28/98 12530 —241 Street SUMMARY: A Development Variance Permit application has been received in which the applicant is requesting a relaxation in the required asphalt width of a rural standard road from 7 metres to 6.1 metres. After reviewing the application, the Planning Department recommends that DVP/28/98 be given favourable consideration. RECOMMENDATION: That the Municipal Clerk be authorized to notify qualifying property owners that approval of DVP/28/98 respecting property located at 12530 - 241 Street will be considered by Council at the November 10, 1998 meeting. BACKGROUND: Purpose: The Planning Department is currently reviewing an application to rezone the above described property to RG-2 (Suburban Residential Strata) Zone to permit subsequent subdivision into 8 strata lots. A review of the servicing drawings by the Engineering Department has indicated that a Development Variance Permit is required to relax the construction standards for 241 Street. Policy Implications: Section 'D" of Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw states that "all construction required under this bylaw shall be performed according to the standards set out Schedule "C". Schedule "C" requires that the asphalt width of a rural road be a minimum of 7 metres. Although the required road right of way width of 20 metres has been provided, topographic constraints and difficult geotechnical conditions do not allQw the construction of an asphalt width of 7 metres. This application has been submitted to relax this requirement to 6.1 metres. The Engineering drawings show improvements to the northern end of 241 Street leading to the proposed subdivision. The existing pavement will be widened to a minimum of 6.1 metres from the present 3.8 to 5.0 metres.

Durksen DATE: October 21, 1998 and Members of Council FILE NO: E05-119-001 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Committee Of the Whole SUBJECT Thordarson delegation regarding drainage on 119 Avenue SUMMARY: The Throdarson's appeared as a delegation at the Committee of the Whole on October 19, 1998 with concerns about the drainage at 22149 119 Avenue. The Engineering Department is suggesting the Thordarson's apply for a Local Improvement Project for the area. RECOMMENDATION: That the Thordason s be forwarded a copy of this memo. BACKGROUND: The Thordarson's appeared as a delegation at the Committee of the Whole on October 19, 1998 describing the drainage problem related to the lack of adequate drainage on 119 Avenue. They are advising that the property at 22149 119 Avenue has had a problem with water in the basement for many years. A location map is attached for Council's information. A review of the complaints system since 1989 revealed one drainage complaint in the block. The problem was caused by snow blocking drainage from the low driveway at this address. A review of the engineering drainage file for 119 Avenue revealed a letter, dated January 13, 1983, from Fran Wagner concerning the water running into the basement. That letter suggested that there had been a promise of a storm sewer by 1981. In his reply, Mr. Gardner suggested that the promise of a storm sewer had been erroneous and he then suggested a storm sewer extension by Local Improvement. Mr. Scherban subsequently provided information about the cost of the Local Improvement in a letter. The file does not have any response to the Maple Ridge letters. The Local Improvement method is appropriate to provide storm sewers to the area. There is a storm sewer on 222 Street to the east that has sufficient depth and capacity for the storm sewer extension. The estimated cost of a storm sewer on 119 Avenue from 222 Street to 22149 is $67,500. Eight properties on 119 Avenue would benefit from this storm sewer at a cost of $8,437.50 each or $844.00 each per year for 15 years on an equal sharing basis. A Local Improvement storm sewer project for this section of 119 Avenue can be commenced by a preliminary petition in the form of a letter to the Municipal Clerk. It is suggested that as many of the benefiting property owners on both sides of 119 Avenue from 222 Street to 22149 119 Avenue ossible sign the preli in 116 J ition. i f AdminisH4tjve Officer \*thaL Man,,4er: Public Works and Director of Enneering ere1opment Services Design a. - 1 - C)J, 0;.

After reviewing the application, the Planning Department recommends that DP/48197 be given favourable consideration. RECOMMENDATION: That the Municipal Clerk be authorized to sign and seal DP/48/97 respecting property located at 12108 208 Street. BACKGROUND: Purpose: A Development Permit application has been submitted for 12108 208 St. which would allow construction of 6 townhouse units. The subject property is in a Development Permit Area and prior to issuance of a building permit a Development Permit is required to ensure that all the Development Permit Guidelines have been met. Policy Implications: Final reading to Zone amending Bylaw 5359-1995 was granted on August 25, 1998. This bylaw rezoned the site to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential). The site is in Development Permit Area XIV, and the Development Permit Area Guidelines state that: • design and siting of buildings should take advantage of natural features and should enhance privacy and livability; • attention should be paid to general architectural style and details; • landscaping and screening should be used to create interesting views. The proposal addresses these guidelines. Further to the Council resolution of September 8, 1998, the application has been reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel. 0704.o3 The Panel made the following recommendations: I. The Panel supports the shared walkway concept as shown on the landscape plan and suggests that more planting be introduced above the retaining walls. Overall the landscaping plan in between the units should include a walkway and plant material on either side rather than a grassed area. That the driveway retaining wall material be textured block. That the fence along the covenant boundary be black vinyl-coated chain link. That a change in plant material (to native materials) along the rear fence be considered. That the use of shrubs to provide an enclosure for the seating area be considered. The Panel supports the provision of access from the rear deck to the rear yard. The applicant has addressed these comments. The Planning Department recommends that DP/48/97 be given favourable consideration. Administ five Officer .1 SJlbjc I SUBJECT PROPERTY / AVE. 121 AVE.

RECOMMENDATION: That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 5740-1998 be given First Reading. BACKGROUND: Further to Council's support for the sport and entertainment centre (Planet Ice) at the Fairgrounds and the subsequent text amendment to CD-4-88 which permitted a restaurant/lounge use and accessory retail use, an application has been submitted to permit a retail store which provides for a wider range of product sales. The proposal includes an extension of the Deli & Pro Shop to include the sale of grocery items such as bread and milk. The store will be approximately 172m' and will include a coffee bar, deli, pro shop and the retail food store. CONCLUSION: Staff support this proposal but recommend that the retail use be limited to a maximum of 275m' of floor area, consistent with commercial use in the CS-2a (Community Service Commercial) zone. In order to expedite this application, staff also recommend that Zone Amending Bylaw No. 5740-1998 be given First Reading to enable presentation of this bylaw at the November Public Hearing.

The Downtown Action Plan Advisory Committee has provided a significant document that will provide detailed direction on steps that are necessary to revitalize the downtown within the context of Municipal goals and objectives, and budgets. The Advisory Committee should be requested to attend the Council meeting wherein this memo is to be considered, and their contribution should be acknowledged. RECOMMENDATION: That Council receive the update memo on implementing the Downtown Action Plan dated October 20, 1998; and That the Downtown Action Plan Advisory Committee be recognized for their efforts in developing the Downtown Action Plan and for contributing as volunteers to their community. BACKGROUND: Council, at the May 26th meeting, endorsed the staff recommendations with respect to the priority focus of implementing the Downtown Action Plan recommendations. At the September 14th Council/Staff meeting, Council reviewed in greater detail implementation actions that were currently underway and the balance of the 57 recommendations contained in the Downtown Action Plan Committee report. Council agreed to the commitment necessary to achieve on-going revitalization of the core area based upon the following six point plan: I) the Core Redevelopment project will be the immediate Council priority to bring business and community development to the core area in a manner that reflects the Downtown Action Plan. ensuring the Downtown Action Plan is used as a guiding document in the preparation of business and capital expenditure plans and will be considered in the review process for development applications requiring a Council decision. the Capital Expenditure Program will include a long-term commitment to the downtown area and strategic actions will be developed to address the needed traffic facility -1- O.? Works & Development Services improvements, including parking and pedestrian facilities, and overall streetscape improvements. Council will review and monitor, on an on-going basis, the land use policies and zoning for the downtown to ensure their relevance; and a Development Permit Area designation with design guidelines will be pursued. Council supports and will pursue the concept of a downtown Business Improvement Area as a means to organize downtown property and business interests and to achieve coordinated improvements to the core area. As well, it should be noted that the U.B.C.M. Conference in September supported the resolution of Council that the Provincial Downtown Revitalization Program be reinstituted. This may provide an additional source of support for Council efforts. Council will consider the acquisition of strategic properties in the downtown area for the purposes of facilitating future development, traffic and parking, and other improvements to the core area. Conclusion: Council direction on the Downtown Action Plan recommendations will now be factored into the appropriate planning and budget programs, and a review process will be implemented to ensure the remaining items that require resolution are dealt with.

Durksen DATE: October 21, 1998 and Members of Council FILE NO: FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: CIW - PW & DS SUBJECT: Silver Valley SUMMARY: The following outlines staff comments on the Silver Valley petition. It is staffs understanding that the petition has been submitted to Council largely in response to concerns regarding the environmental impacts of urbanization in the area. This staff report attempts to respond to those issues raised in the submission. RECOMMENDATION: Submitted for information only. BACKGROUND: The Official Community Plan (OCP) is the paramount municipal planning document which provides the broad policy framework to guide the physical growth and development of the District. The intent is to implement the OCP through the Zoning Bylaw and specific development applications wherein the terms and conditions of any approval ensure compliance with the OCP. The District has also the opportunity to undertake more detailed planning studies to address specific areas of the community. Examples include the Rural Plan, Downtown Action Plan, and the Silver Valley Guide Plan. While not adopted by bylaw, each of these initiatives are reviewed by Council with the intent to be used as a guideline in evaluating future development opportunities. The petition suggests that the development of Silver Valley may be in contravention of the OCP. In fact, Silver Valley is a designated growth area in Maple Ridge and is intended to concentrate new population and development. At question, then, is how such development is accommodated. Through the guide plan process, it was determined that in excess of 20% of the Silver Valley growth area will be permanently protected from development. In large measure, these are the ravines and river valleys and other environmentally sensitive areas in the area. In addition, the Silver Valley area will be served by a major and improved park area to the south, adjacent to the Alouette River as well as school parks/school sites. Much of the higher elevations in Silver Valley are scheduled for very low density development which has the potential to provide for the permanent protection of additional tree canopy in the area. It is further noted that staff have proposed the introduction of a comprehensive development zoning for parts of Silver Valley which provides greater flexibility to work with the landscape and concentrate densities, thereby providing opportunities to retain selected tree stands. The petition has suggested that the preparation of an Area Structure Plan is necessary before development advances for the Silver Valley Area. The term Area Structure Plan is actually used in Alberta and is essentially the same type of document as the Guide Plan prepared by staff. The background leading up to the current Guide Plan is summarized as follows: 1981 OCP designation of Silver Valley as Urban Reserve. OCP process included public participation program. 1992 Gartner Lee Environmental Study prepared for Silver Valley 1994 Albion/Silver Valley Land Use Reviews conducted with public participation program 1995 UMA Study on Silver Valley Stormwater Management prepared 1996 $1.25 million extension of trunk sewer into area 1996 OCP designates Silver Valley as Urban Growth Area with extensive public participation 1997/98 Transportation reports prepared on Silver Valley Arterial 1997/98 Development applications submitted for Silver Valley with first major urban residential development occurring 1998 Hillside Development Guidelines work undertaken to examine techniques to achieve appropriate standards for building heights and retaining walls 1998 Guide Plan prepared using OCP framework and numerous background reports as reference materials As indicated in the foregoing, the planning program for Silver Valley has a 17-year history. There has been a considerable amount of background work completed to better understand and manage growth in the Silver Valley area. In addition, there have been several opportunities for public participation over the years, most notably those opportunities associated with the current OCP (see attached). The result is a guide plan that provides for a mix of residential densities supported by a centrally located community core. Significant environmental features have been identified for protection and the trunk servicing and transportation framework rationalized. -2- Given the work to date, the need for further review of development potentials and issues in Silver Valley must be questioned. Rather, attention now is focused on the numerous development applications under review for the area and the opportunities to apply the most current development and environmental standards. It is through these development applications that the more detailed decision making for Silver Valley will be occurring and the vision of the OCP achieved. Ongoing opportunities for public consultation will be afforded with each zoning application considered by Council. Working with the Ministry of Environment and with the support of in-house environmental staff resources, staff are confident that development activity in Silver Valley will be respectful of valuable environmental resources. Staff are prepared to support the concept of performance bonding for drainage, tree stand protection and other environmental issues through development agreements and development permits. These processes enable Council to apply a variety of measures for the purpose of maintaining environmental integrity as a condition of development. Through the development review process staff will advise Council about the opportunities available to them in achieving this objective, including: Limits to clearing consistent with work schedules that will limit the potential for excessive erosion. Guidelines for site maintenance during residential construction. Site rehabilitation measures to manage runoff during winter months. Siltation control as a component of storm sewer design. Further, staff will recommend that all lands designated for protection be dedicated to the District as a condition of development thereby limiting the potential for future encroachment from neighbouring urban uses. Staff have proposed comprehensive development zoning to provide a new more flexible zoning mechanism to better allow development to coincide with challenging topography while still achieving densities. Staff view this as a zoning technique with advantages to all concerned. Conclusions Staff are appreciative of the concerns expressed in the Silver Valley petition. However, a solid planning foundation has been established for urban growth in the area through numerous studies, the OCP, and the Guide Plan. The challenge at this time is to guide development in accordance with OCP policies through detailed development review processes and effective enforcement mechanisms. Adm6nj.tt4iveOfflcer JJR:bkg -3- CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: Mayor and Council DATE: September 16, 1998 FROM: Planning Department SUBJECT: Review Of Silver Valley Public Participation Program SUMMARY: Council requested a summary of the public participation program used to review the Silver Valley land use designations of the Official Community Plan. One of the purposes of involving the public in the Silver Valley Land Use Review of 1994 was to: review area-specific work previously undertaken, review interests of the other government agencies and public utilities, meet the aspirations of the areas population. The views of the public were given special weight in the preparation of the plan review. Four workshops and two Open Houses were held during the course of the study. As well, a Public Hearing was held to consider the implementing bylaws. RECOMMENDATION: For information only. BACKGROUND: Public participation in the Silver Valley Land Use Review of 1994 was structured around a series of workshops, in which area residents and others worked with the consulting team to identify issues, set objectives, and test solutions. The process began with an orientation meeting with invited area representatives from a cross-section of neighbourhood residents who could express the various attitudes held within Silver Valley. The information gained from this meeting helped to focus on appropriate directions for the subsequent workshops. Prior to the first workshop, a four page newsletter was mailed to all Silver Valley residents and property owners. As well newspaper adverts were placed in the local newspapers informing those interested that the land use review was underway. Also, a 9-page discussion paper documenting background information and key issues was distributed at the first workshop or mailed following the workshop. Each workshop had two objectives: the minor one was to verify, or adjust, the team's work based on the previous workshop; the major one was to provide direction to the team for the next stage of plan development. Four workshops were held during the course of the study. In order to gain wider public comment, two Open Houses were also held, one at the mid-point of the process and one at the end. At each Open House, attendees were asked to sign in, mark the location of their house on a large map of the area, and fill out a questionnaire providing comments on planning issues and options described in the display material. This information was incorporated into the consultant team's work. Details of the public response at the two Open Houses are contained in Appendices to the consultants report. Following the Land Use Review, Council received the report and recommendations and instructed staff to review the material and prepare implementation bylaws. Many meetings and much discussion occurred between Council and staff on achieving the recommended plan. Implementation bylaws went to a Public Hearing on January 11, 1995.

Having reviewed this subject with the Citizens' Advisory Committee and Commission, the following recommendation is presented. RECOMMENDATION That consideration be given to a $10,000 expenditure in the 1999 capital budget for funding to construct a required barrier in the Whonnock Elementary School to facilitate community use of the building, following finalization of the master agreement between the School District and the Parks and Leisure Services Commission. BACKGROUND In the past, the Municipality and the School District have cooperated with respect to capital projects such as the lacrosse box at the Thomas Haney Centre, the Leisure Centre, the Yennadon Community Centre, several joint park sites, and more recently, the Maple Ridge Secondary School running track. In 1994 $10,000 of municipal funding was provided for a similar project at Maple Ridge Elementary School to better facilitate community use of that building. Council's further direction on this subject is requested. •_I ' L .. / iEk XdmiAfstrative k.enerai M'nager: Cornmuity Development, \ ( / Parks and Recrentio9A yervices MM:ed Attachment 6-7.

THANK FOR THIS OPORTUINITY TO COME BEFORE YOU. I WILL NOW TURN THE MIC OVER TO ED WHITE........ CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: His Worship Mayor C. Durksen DATE: November 4, 1998 and Members of Council FILE NO: FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Council SUBJECT: Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Joint Services Agreement By-law No 5747-1998 SUMMARY: To provide background information to the request from the District of Pitt Meadows to provide water and sanitary sewerage services to parcels located within their boundaries and to present the required by-law for requisite readings. RECOMMENDATION: That Maple Ridge - Pitt Meadows Joint Services Agreement By-law No. 5747-1998 be read a first and second time and the rules of order be waived and Maple Ridge - Pitt Meadows Joint Services Agreement By-law No. 5747-1998 be read a third time. BACKGROUND: The District of Pitt Meadows, on behalf of the current owner of the property located immediately north of the current Canadian Tire retail outlet and adjacent to the Lougheed Highway has requested the District of Maple Ridge to provide water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer services via 200th Street. The bulk of the subject parcel is within the boundaries of the District of Pitt Meadows although a very small portion of the parent parcel is located within the boundaries of the District of Maple Ridge. The parcel and ultimate development to be located thereon can best be served by extending services from the District of Maple Ridge via the 200th Street road right- of-way. The attached map identifies the subject parcel. On reviewing the matter with the Planning Department, it is noted that the District of Maple Ridge will not be providing storm sewer facilities; the developer is obtaining that service via a cross property easement involving the Canadian Tire site. The provisions of the Municipal Act allow a municipality to extend services, by by-law, to an area located in another municipality provided the consent of the other municipality has been obtained. The District of Pitt Meadows has requested the services and to satisfy the requirements of Section 574 (5) of the Municipal Act has explicitly consented to the request. I have taken the liberty of preparing an appropriate agreement to be entered into with the District of Pitt Meadows and the companion by-law, which after adoption will allow the Mayor and Clerk to execute. The attached agreement parallels two by-laws passed into June 1992 and a companion agreement that provided services (water and sanitary sewerage) to another parcel of land located in the District of Pitt Meadows. That parcel of land is located on the north side of the Lougheed - 1 - Highway in the triangle between the Lougheed Hwy and Dewdney Trunk Road intersection and the golf course lands. One of the by-laws, at that time, required the approval of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. Because of recent changes to the Municipal Act, it is no longer necessary to obtain the approval of the Ministry. The Developer of the proposed development will be required to pay all costs associated with the extension of necessary services as a condition of a subdivision application. The agreement re- enforces that requirement and, as well, requires the District of Pitt Meadows to collect and remit to the District of Maple Ridge on or before July 1st in each year, all charges and fees for the requested services that a like commercial development in the District of Maple Ridge would be required to pay annually (water/sanitary sewer parcel and user fees). Submitted with a recommendation to accept.

RECOMMENDATION: That with respect to the request of School District No. 42 (Maple Ridge - Pi tt Meadows) in a letter dated October 29, 1998, be it resolved that pursuant to the authority in Section 41(1) of the Municipal Act; James (Jim) R. McBride be appointed as Chief Election Officer; and Jo-Anne Hertzog be appointed as Deputy Chief Election Officer. BACKGROUND: The attached letter dated October 29, 1998 outlines the circumstances and a request to the District of Maple Ridge to conduct an election to fill a vacancy that has occurred through the death of a trustee. The provisions of the Municipal Act and the School Act require the Municipality to conduct the election, the costs of which, however, are recoverable from the School District. These same provisions require the local government (Municipal Council) to appoint a Chief Election Officer (CEO) and a Deputy Chief Election Officer (DCEO). Once the CEO has been appointed, he/she is charged with the responsibility of doing all things necessary for the conduct of an election in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Act, by-laws of the municipality, etc. Included amongst those are: the selection of Voting Places, appointing necessary Election Officials, ensuring sufficient ballots for each Voting Place, etc. In addition, once the CEO is appointed, the "clock" is running in terms of getting the List of Electors in order, setting a Nomination period, setting a general voting date (if there are more candidates runnin than there are vacancies) and doing all things incidental and necessary to the process (advertising, etc. hief Administrative Officer General Manager: Financial &L--Ivtunicipal Clerk & Corporate Services JRM/dd Attachment (1) I T;T42 MAPLE RIDGE - PITT MEADOWS 22225 Brown Avenue, Maple Ridge, B.C., V2X 8N6 Tel.

Re: Trustee Vacancy Pursuant to Section 36 (3) (b) of the School Act, I am notifying you that a trustee election is required to be conducted by the Corporation of the District of Maple Ridge and further that the Corporation must appoint a chief election officer within 30 days after being notified by School District No. 42 (Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows). It is noted that pursuant to Section 36 (4) of the School Act that the chief election officer must set a general voting day for the trustee election, which must be on a Saturday no later than 80 days alter the date the chief election officer was appointed. The requirement for an election arises as a result of the recent passing of Trustee Bridget Trerise. Her term of office would have expired November 30th, 1999 and as such, the vacancy will be for the remaining portion of that term. Once you have had the opportunity to undertake some preliminary planning, I would be pleased to meet witiji you to assist in any way possible and to arrange for polling static(ns in District schools.

Ph AC) • width to 6.1 metres 98.11.10 I am unsure why the municipality would entertain this type of variance to the municipal standard, as it would seen this is why standards are created. In speaking to this variance application. I had spoke to the developer Mr Paul Hayes, and he advised me that cost was not an issue to building this road. If that is the case why would the safety of the road users be jeopardized? Mr. Stephenson of your planning department states there will not be many people using the road, so safety isn't a problem, but I suggest if one persons safety is compromised, that is too many. I live directly in front of this area, and have already come to a near collision with persons entering the property at 12530 - 2451 Street. This is not a straight roadway, as it curves in two locations in a very short space with the driveway at 12510-241 Street intersecting approximately midway between the curves. As a Collision Analyst with the RCMP, I am an expert in collision investigations. I have discussed this variance with Cst. Terry MacDonald, as well a Collision Analyst here at Ridge- Meadows Detachment. We are both of the opinion that the allowing of a narrower roadway in this area will be a traffic hazard. I have attached copies of photographs of this specific area. allow this variance to the municipal standard. Marc Alexander ! I :i} - pci *.p.
