CARRIED 03 DELEGATIONS Presentation by Fraser Valley Regional Library to Councillor Levens Prior to the scheduled delegations, the Mayor introduced Mr. Evan Williams and Ms. Jane Russell of the Fraser Valley Regional Library who surprised Councillor Levens with a plaque commemorating her eight years on the Fraser Valley Regional Library Board. They noted that Councillor Levens has seen many changes during that time and expressed the Board's appreciation for her dedication to the Fraser Valley Regional Library. 03.01 Economic Advisory Commission re Community Economic Development Strategy Mr. Ron Hoffart, Chair of the Economic Advisory Commission (EAC), advised that he was in attendance on behalf of the other members of the Commission to highlight the Community Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) which Council received at an earlier date. In addition to the members who represent separate sectors of the economy, the EAC has members from Human Resources, the School District and the Chamber of Commerce. The EAC operates with the support from the Community Services and Business Relations office. He advised that the CEDSP contains a statement of goals and objectives to enhance economic development and a set of action plans by which the Commission intends to achieve those objectives. The Commission believes the CEDSP is part of the process of enhancing the quality of the life of the residents of our community. Mr. Hoffart explained that need for the CEDSP grew out of Council's Corporate Strategic Plan in the Official Community Plan (OCP). The CEDSP was prepared in consultation with Harris Hudema consulting Group and is a co-Operative effort involving many groups and individuals in the community who participated in a series of focus group sessions, interviews and public works shops. There was consultation with Municipal staff, business leaders and others. At the end of the report there are action Council Meeting Minutes December 8, 1998 Page 3 plans from the 12 economic sectors that are represented in the plan. The objective of all the action plans is to increase employment within the boundaries of the Municipality. Mr. Hoffart spoke of the need to keep the job force in Maple Ridge where they can contribute their talents and spend more of their money. In the last 15 years our population has grown 74%. Our local employment has only grown by 52%. The employment to labour force ratio in Maple Ridge is dropping and that is what the CEDSP is trying to turn around. There has been success in two sectors, namely the film industry and home based business. There has been recent growth in light industry as a result of a decision by Council to revise the zoning in the Maple Ridge Industrial/Business Park. Mr. Hoffart further noted that Maple Ridge has the lowest cost industrial land but has the second smallest inventory of industrial buildings in the lower mainland. He explained that land use is the most powerful tool that Council has and it is factored in with all the other issues a manufacturer, etc. has to worry about and the company is not familiar with development regulations. It has to focus on competing in a global economy. There has to be a lot of "going the extra mile" by everyone involved to get the company established. This goes beyond customer service and a regional framework; what is needed is entrepreneurial zeal. The EAC does not feel that the primary goal should be to have a good set of regulations; the goal of the EAC is to have a good supply of income producing projects that conform to a good set of regulations. Mr. Hoffart advised that the EAC regards its role as one of support; the EAC wants to research and provide valuable input on each of the actions described in the Community Economic Development Strategy. The EAC would like Council to formally adopt the strategy to signal to the stakeholders that it is a priority. He noted that the next step is to translate the information in the CEDSP into a work plan. This will require the support of the Municipality, Chamber of Commerce and other organizations and groups. He highlighted several initiatives that the EAC has already undertaken in that regard which include the following: • compile an inventory of tourism; • look at ways to address the under-supply of retail services; • study initiatives to get more use out of agricultural and rural lands; • encourage technology such as the location of a call centre or electronic communications centre in Maple Ridge; • review the regulations related to home based businesses to achieve a further expansion of this industry; and • encourage more training of workers for the value-added wood products industry. Mr. Hoffart the that the ongoing work of the Economic Advisory Commission on the action plans will extend over the next five years. Council Meeting Minutes December 8, 1998 Page 4 Council expressed their appreciation to the EAC for their dedication and service to the community. Councillor King suggested that the Retail sector look into the impact of Internet shopping. Mr. Hoffart offered to add it to the work plan. Mr. Hoffart noted that some of the recommendations in the work plan require resources beyond the Commission's mandate. Councillor Gordon noted the need for Council to endorse the CEDSP and to study the financial implications. The Chief Administrative Officer advised that the Community Economic Development Strategy Plan should now be brought back to Council along with a proposed resolution for some discussion about the priorities that Mr. Hoffart has identified and the fimding that is required. 03.02 Social Planning Advisory Committee - Farewell to Retiring Members The Municipal Clerk advised that this delegation has been withdrawn from the Agenda and will be re-scheduled to another date in January, 1999. 03.03 Ridge Meadows Recycling Society - Update on Activities Refundable Containers Ms. Kelli Speirs, Executive Director the Ridge-Meadows Recycling Society, was in attendance along with helpers Derek, Joy, Shari and Moriah to demonstrate the various beverage containers that are eligible for a refund under the expanded beverage container deposit/refund system. Ms. Speirs also provided information on where containers can be taken for refunds, etc. Curb Side Food Drive - December 7th and 11th Ms. Speirs advised that the Recycling Society is collecting donations of non-perishable food items along with the regular blue box pick-up on the above noted dates. Christmas Tree Chipping Ms. Speirs advised that Christmas trees can be left at the depot from December 27th to January 10th for chipping. The event is conducted in partnership with the Thomas Haney Dry Grade Committee and the service is by donation. Council Meeting Minutes December 8, 1998 Page 5 Councillor Baker expressed his appreciation to the Recycling Society for doing an excellent job and extended to the staff best wishes for the holiday season and a prosperous new year. 04 STAFF PRESENTATIONS 04.01 A ward for Planning Excellence - Bob Robertson, Chief Administrative Officer The Mayor displayed a certificate of recognition recently received by Mr. Robertson from the Canadian Institute of Planners. The Mayor advised that in 1997 Mr. Robertson was selected to a three year term as ajuiy member for the Canadian Awards in Planning Excellence. This past year, the national award program specifically encouraged submissions related to environmental planning initiatives and smaller community planning programs. More than 50 submissions were received from across the country. The Mayor congratulated Mr. Robertson for his role in supporting the principles of planning at a national level. 04.02 Distinguished Budget Presentation Award Councillor Clements presented the General Manager of Financial and Corporate Services with the above noted award for its annual budget for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 1998. He advised that this is the seventh time the District has received this award and was the first Municipality to ever be issued the award in Western Canada. Currently, the District is the first and only government in Canada to receive the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, the Canadian Award for Financial Reporting and the Award for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Annual Financial Reporting. The General Manager of Financial and Corporate Services acknowledged the dedication of his staff, particularly Cliff Kilby and Cindy Dale, who have been involved in the preparation of the award winning documents. 05 UNFINISHED BUSINESS Nil 06 BY-LAWS 06.01 Cemetery TariffAmendments Council Meeting Minutes December 8, 1998 Page 6 R198-615 BL 5746-1998 final reading MOVED by Councillor King SECONDED by Councillor Stewart that Maple Ridge Cemetery Amending By-law No. 5746-1998 be reconsidered and adopted.

Councillor King noted that Council at this point has no idea what the subdivision will look like and that the area has changed since 1992. The Director of Current Planning advised that the subdivision will look fairly close to the plans presented at the Public Hearing as it will have to follow the guide plan for the area.

The Planner went over the purpose of the by-law as noted above. On question from. the Mayor, the Planner clarified that the specific proposal is roughly for 22 units per net hectare. The proposal slightly exceeds the maximum 18 units per net hectare permitted in the existing Official Community Plan designation. Aid. Levens questioned how many lots can be built on the property under its current zoning. The Planner responded that if the property was zoned to RS-lb, given the geometry of the property, it is doubtful the developer could achieve 18 units per net hectare. Although such details have not been worked out, he would probably get something less than that. Mrs. Lewis reiterated her opposition to the proposal, noting that the Planning Department guide plan calls for 32 lots and the developer is proposing 45 lots. Ms. yolk questioned if there is there is any restriction in place to require the developer to keep to the plan submitted. Aid. Leaf responded that he is restricted by the zoning.

Schedule "A" is hereby amended by adding the following in the Appendix: DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AREA XXXVI- DOWNTOWN CIVIC CORE Designation: The Development Permit Area is hereby designated for the establishment of objectives and the provision of guidelines for the form and character of civic institutional and commercial development. Public review of the final conceptual plan will be required as part of the final consideration of the development permit(s). Location: The Downtown Civic Core is shown on Schedule "H" of the Official Community Plan and is generally described as those lands south of Dewdney Trunk Road and north of Lougheed Highway, between 224th Street and 226' Street. Justification: The Downtown Civic Core is the focal point for the downtown area. The civic uses/spaces that dominate the Core will define development and use patterns for neighbouring areas and for the balance to the downtown core. Combined with significant commercial/retail facilities, the Civic Core will create a density of use that requires a high degree of attention to design detail. This will ensure the Core remains a vibrant and attractive environment in which to live, work, shop and recreate. Objectives: To reinforce the role of the Core as the focal point of community and economic activity for the District. Page 2 Bylaw No. 5733-1998 To provide easy access for all modes of transportation to the area, but prioritizing its use for pedestrian, cycle and transit access. To create continuity in pedestrian and bikeway connections from surrounding neighbourhoods, through the development. To provide adequate parking in pleasant, safe, and convenient places, but avoiding large tracts of featureless paving surface and conflicts with the pedestrian enjoyment of the area. To reinforce the "public realm" by clarifying Street edges with the location and design of buildings and activities, and through the use of appropriate public street furnishings. To enhance the pedestrian experience by encouraging building orientation to the street and enhancing streetscape design. E. Guidelines SITE PLAN The surrounding streets all provide public frontages to the Civic Core Plan. The orientation of the various buildings and uses should recognize these frontages through appropriate orientation of entries and the treatment of building exteriors at street level. Streets that require consideration include McIntosh Avenue, Dewdney Trunk Road, Lougheed Highway, 224" Street, Edge Street, 226" Street and Selkirk Avenue. Service areas must be screened from public view and limit conflicts with pedestrians on surrounding public streets. Where possible service areas should be internalized. Well defined pedestrian routes through the site should provide clear linkages between 224' Street and Edge Street and between Dewdney Trunk Road and Lougheed Highway. Public squares and gardens should provide a focus to surrounding building ensuring a high degree of visibility. Transit hubs should be located convenient to pedestrian corridors. The design of these hubs should provide a pleasant experience for transit users ensuring the viability of the service. Parking areas should accommodate well delineated pedestrian routes. Landscaping should accommodate street-trees in a pattern mimicking street landscape design ensuring larger parking areas are effectively divided into smaller, visually more pleasing areas. BUILDING FORM Buildings should emphasize the Street frontages through the orientation ofentries and the use of fenestration. Page 3 Bylaw No. 5733-1998 Significant corners should be given added emphasis with vertical architectural features and roofscape features. Buildings that would otherwise have a horizontal massing should provide height differentiation and corresponding articulation of facades to create an image of smaller components each with a greater vertical emphasis for the massing. Exterior finishes should be brick, natural stone, wood. Substantial areas of concrete should be avoided. Expanses of solid wall or glass should be minimized. Pedestrian amenity should enjoy a priority through the use of interesting design detail at ground level, easily identifiable entrances, shopfronts with clear, untinted glazing, concentration of signage at ground level and, attractive landscaping. It. Underground parking facilities should be designed with public safety in mind. Entries should be highly visible, well lit and spaced at convenient intervals. Blind corners must be avoided. LANDSCAPING Landscaping should define the purpose and emphasize the desired character and function of public space.. Landscaping should reinforce design continuity with neighbouring properties and the streetscape by providing consistency in street trees, plant materials, and other landscaping elements. Simplicity in landscaping materials is desirable and should be encouraged for screening purposes. Street trees will be a required component of all development. SIGNAGE AND LIGHTING Signage should be integrated with the design of a building, preferably at ground level only, and its size and design should complement the scale and architectural detail of the building. All signage shall conform to the Maple Ridge Sign By-Law with the exception of freestanding, projecting, rotating, temporary portable, balloon and changeable readograph signs that will detract from the character of the area and are therefore prohibited. High intensity illumination should be minimized. Pedestrian level lighting is required along all pedestrian routes and pedestrian plazas. 3.

BC's Beverage Con- tainer Deposit/Refund Expansion ensures that all costs associated with beverage contain- ers from their cradle (production) to their grave (recycling) are borne by Industry. In the past, costs to recycle or dispose of non-refundable beverage containers were borne by all residents through municipal garbage and recycling systems. The GVRD's material bans from disposal of cardboard, newspaper and office paper make a lot of sense. These commodities are too valuable to bury in a landfill in Cache Creek when they can so easily be recycled. The bans move valuable te- sources back into the loop, preserve natLlral resources and prevent pollution. These bans have encouraged many more people to set up recycling systems in their homes and businesses. I would like to commend the CRC (Commercial Recycling Concepts) crew. This group of individuals has plunged wholeheartedly into the provision of recycling services to over 200 businesses in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. From Purewal Blue- berry Farms to Revy Hardware. Extra Foods and many more. They have found solutions to almost every problem and by so doing have almost tripled the tonnage of cardboard recycled since 1996. .. This year RMRS added a green bag at the curb to collect office paper and magazines: worked hard to encourage more waste diversion through the Beverage Container Deposit/Refund Expansion welcomed the GVRD bans as well as concentrated on the CRC program to divert more waste for 1998.

RECYCLING TIMES ~' i "d, FALL[WINTER 1998 9. - Maple Ridge takes 4 Blooms in - provincial competition Recycling Society key participant in community event IDGE MEADOWS RECYCLING SOCIETY IS INVOLVED in prolllot- ing a clean, healthy environment all year round. Special activities and community involvement and education help ensure that the recycling message is never far frorn the minds of local residents. During the Summer Ridge Meadows Recycling Society participated in the Communities in Bloom program ill Maple Ridge. Communities in Bloom is a nation-wide program aimed at encouraging communities to beautify towns and cities by increasing plants, flowers and gardens in private and public settings, and keeping these areas tidy and attractive. Working with the municipality, local garden clubs and other commu- nity groups, RMRS helped to inspire gardeners throughout Maple Ridge. The Communities in Bloom display wolitwo awards at the Mountain Festival Home Show last May, and in October Maple Ridge was awarded Four Blooms out of a possible five in the BC category of the competition. This is the first year Maple Ridge has fully participated in the Com- munities in Bloom program. Our success means that next year we will be competing nationally with other communities of similar size. A key element in the judging criteria for Communities in Bloom is the effectiveness of local recycling programs. Due to our excellent program, Maple Ridge received full marks in this area.

President's Report Yasina Ismaily I AM PLEASED TO BE WRITING my first President's Report. The past few months have been important ones as we completed a Board and Staff Retreat in late June and are now working to implement the priorities identified for the coming year. One of the most important priorities is the redesign of the Education and Volunteer programs. The top three areas in Education and Outreach are the School Education Workshops; Outreach Activities such as parades and community events and the support and nurturing of the Volunteer Program. Last year I attended one of the Education workshops being offered by the Society. It was the Simple Living workshop facilitated by Vicki Bentzen. This workshop challenged me to explore my personal values in relation to my day to day decisions. It focuses on the first 'R' in the Three R's Hierarchy - Reduce - and asks the question "What might enable me to live a more fulfilling life while stepping lightly upon the Earth?" Simple Living embraces the values of voluntary simplicity and stresses the impact that lifestyle change can have on the environ- ment we share. I was surprised to discover that man of my day-to-day decisions were not in harmony with my personal values. I heartily recommend this workshop to all of you. In fact I asked the Society to put on a two hour version of Simple Living for the public, sponsored by Meadowridge School, on November 5, 1998. The next full day Simple Living workshop is scheduled for Saturday, January 23, 1999. Looking forward to Christmas, we plan to be in the parade on December 5th and we will conduct our 5th Annual Food Drive, December 7th through Decem- ber 11th. Also don't forget to bring your old Christ- mas trees to the depot for chipping, December 27th through January 10th. This year Katimavik volun- teers will help with both the Food Drive and the Christmas Tree Chipping event. - Former EYT returns to RMRS Volunteers key to Society's success i\01/,an Elliot plants JIOR'eI,c at the depot in preparation /or f/zr Lu,ninun,t,e.s In llloo;n judging. Gardening is just one of the many volunteer opportunities at RMRS. RIDGE MEADOWS RECYCLING SOCIETY IS LOOKING for environmentally concerned residents to join our Volunteer Team. The main qualifications for our volunteers are enthusiasm and a willingness to try something new. If you enjoy working in the garden, we are culTently looking for Garden Assistants to keep an eye on the Compost Education Garden while it is closed. Compost continues year round and an hour each week turning and maintaining the compost bins (while encouraging the worms), will enable us to have plenty of compost ready for the spring. If you prefer indoor work, we are looking for a volunteer newsletter editor, and someone to help out as a library/research assistant. If you have a creative flair, we need help with the planning of special events and parades. We require someone who has great ideas for designing displays and preparing educational material. Do you like to talk? We need volunteers to connect with the public when we set up displays in malls or at special events. Is teaching your secret passion? We need help with the schools program and guides to tour visitors through the depot. Perhaps you have some ideas you would like to share about how you could volun- teer for us. Training is provided for all our volunteers and a monthly support program is being planned. Call Joy Gallop at 463-5545 if you are interested. Readers Digest article misses mark RIDGE MEADOWS RECYCLING SOCIETY WANTS TO set a few facts straight about the curbside blue box program in Maple Ridge. During the summer. Readers Digest magazine printed an article titled "The Hidden Truth About Canada's Blue Boxes" which questioned the value of blue box programs across the country. "There were several significant facts the article didn't take into account in its analysis," said Kelli Speirs, executive director of RMRS. The article attempts to compare garbage and recycling costs in Ontario. Edmonton and Winnipeg. "The BC experience is different," said Speirs. For example, Ontario now has no deposit refund system. Bluebox recycling in Ontario is subsidized by the Beverage Industry in order to avoid the deposit refund system. BC, on the other hand, recently expanded its Beverage Container Deposit system, and is poised to impose Industry Stewardship standards that will ensure that industry responsible for its products and packages from "cradle to grave." In other words, if a manufacturer decides to produce a product with excessive packaging, they will be responsible for its disposal costs, not the public at large. The Readers Digest article bases its conclusions on the premise that recycling programs should break even, or even turn a profit. Recycling is, essentially the diversion of garbage from the waste stream. Garbage collection and disposal is at no time expected to break even or turn a profit. Said Speirs. "There is a common sense comparison to be made here." She explains that garbage and recyclables are both collected at the curb with collection costs including trucks, drivers and swampers. These costs are about the same for garbage or recycling collection. The difference is in what happens post-collection. For garbage, a tipping fee is paid, and the garbage is then trucked and landfilled. For recycling, there is a processing cost and then a revenue from the sale of the com- modity. In Maple Ridge, recycling costs were $39.85 per household per year in 1997, while garbage costs ranged from $144 to $220 per household per year. There are approxi- mately 19,000 households in Maple Ridge and they produced about 19,000 tons of waste in 1997. 12,000 tons (63%) was garbage and 7,000 tons (37%) was recyclables. Based on these figures it would cost $228.57 to handle 1 ton of garbage and 107.70 to handle 1 ton of recyclables. Clearly there is a savings of over 50% in Maple Ridge when recycling is chosen over garbage. Speirs also criticizes the Readers Digest piece for using only partial garbage costs in their analysis, and ignoring geographic and regional differences in costs. The revenue per tonne which a recycling program receives is dependent on many variables. These include the availability of markets, the distance to the market, fluctuations in market prices and the collection methods which impact the purity and value of commodities. By recycling at home, people are making a real difference to the environment. Also unaccounted for in the equation are the impact on natural resources, the increased life expectancy of existing landfills and conservation of energy. "This is not some- thing you can put a price tag on," said Speirs. "These are all major spin-offs from the simple act of placing a blue box full of recycling at the curbside. What a powerful individual action." RIDGE MEADOWS RECYCLING SOCIETY IS PLEASED to welcome Shiloh Bouvette for one day a week as part of the Youth Options BC program. Shiloh, a former Environmental Youth Team worker at RMRS. brings a wealth of expertise and knowledge to her new posting. She is researching environmental education programs in other comniunities, designing targeted lesson plans for different age groups and promoting activity-based workshops for a pilot project with Maple Ridge Parks & Leisure Services. This is an important project for the Society, and would not be possible without this program. We are extremely pleased to work with such a knowledgeable young person in this innovative new program. Welcome back, Shiloh! -
