Project Description:
Application RZ/078/06 proposes to rezone the property located at 24901 108 Avenue from RS-3 (One
Family Rural Residential) to RS-lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) to permit the
future subdivison into 22 lots, each having a minimum lot size of 557 m2 . The future lots will front onto
a new minor urban road that will intersect with 249 Avenue in two locations.(Appendix A)
Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
Albion Area Plan
The property is designated Residential Low-Medium Density on the Albion Area Plan and the proposal
complies with this land use designation in the Albion Zoning Matrix (Section 10.2.7).
Section 7.6 Multi-Use and Equestrian Trails, Policy 7-43
An equestrian trail is currently located on the east shoulder of 249 Avenue and is identified on Appendix
E, Figure 5 Long Term Multi-purpose Trail Plan. A comprehensive inter-departmental review of the trail
network in the north Albion Area has determined that this trail is to be relocated to a more suitable
location to provide better connectivity and to avoid using Collector Roads for equestrian trails. The
Developer will be providing the construction costs for an equivalent portion of a new trail in Kanaka
Creek Park.
-2-
Zoning Bylaw:
A preliminary review of the plans in relation to the Zoning Bylaw requirements has revealed that the
proposal complies with the bylaw. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the property into 22 lots
which meet the minimum lot width, lot depth and lot area requirements of the RS-lb (One Family Urban
(Medium Density) Residential) zone.
Subdivision Bylaw:
A review of the plans in relation to the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw has determined
that the proposal generally complies with the bylaw, with the exception of the minimum width of the
proposed new minor urban road that will intersect with 249 Street in 2 locations and provide access for
each of the new lots. An application for a Development Variance Permit to vary the width of this road
from 18 metres to 16.5 metres has been received. This will be brought forward for Council's
consideration after the Public Hearing.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department reviewed the servicing for the development and provided their comments as
follows:
• The existing sanitary system must be reviewed, the system extended to the property from 248
Street, and any deficiencies in capacity must be upgraded by the applicant to meet the
requirements of the Rezoning Servicing Agreement.
• The storm sewer system needs to be reviewed by a professional engineer and must meet the
requirements of the Rezoning Servicing Agreement.
• The water system must be upgraded and extended to the property from 248 Street, and must meet
the requirements of the Rezoning Servicing Agreement.
• Road dedication is required at the subdivision stage on 108 Avenue and 249 Street frontages to
meet the Collector road standard and for the new local road.
Parks & Leisure Services Department:
The Parks & Leisure Services Department have determined that the equestrian trail currently
located on the east shoulder of 249 Street is to be relocated to a more suitable location to provide
better connectivity and to avoid using Collector Roads for equestrian trails. The developer will be
providing the construction costs for an equivalent portion of a new trail in Kanaka Creek Park.
The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the subdivision is completed they
will be responsible for maintaining the additional street trees. In the case of this project it is estimated
that there will be an additional 22 trees which is based on one tree per lot and final subdivision design
will provide exact numbers.
-3-
CONCLUSION:
The proposed RS-lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone conforms to the land use
designation in the Albion Area Plan zoning matrix. It is therefore recommended that application
RZ/078/06 be favourable considered and that Maple Ridge Zone Amendment Bylaw No. 6466-2007
(Appendix B) be read a first time and be forwarded to Public Hearing.

This application is to permit a 78 unit strata development on a 3.8 hectare parcel under the RM-1
Townhouse Residential zone.
A requirement of the development process included the site into a Development Permit Area to ensure
the form and character of the development at the Building Permit stage.
The following dates outline Council's consideration of the application and Bylaw/s 6283-2004 and 6282-
2004:
- The First Reading report (see attached) was considered on January 26, 2005;
- First Reading was granted January 26, 2005
- Public Hearing was held February 15, 2005;
- Second and Third reading was granted on February 22, 2005.
- First extension was granted on February 28, 2006
Bylaw Changes
Significant changes have occurred to the Zoning Bylaw and to the Official Community Plan since this
application was given third reading. On November 14, 2006, final approval was given to text amendment
application RZ/044/05 which amended the RM-1 Townhouse Residential District Zone and the Parking
Bylaw with regard to this zone. Specifically, changes to density calculations were implemented. In
addition, a requirement was made for the provision of visitor parking by a prescribed formula. The
Official Community Plan was also adopted on November 14, 2006 and this application will be affected
by the introduction of the Multi-Family Residential Development Permit Area Guidelines.
The applicant should be made aware of these changes and of the need for this application to conform to
these bylaw amendments.
Application Progress:
This application pertains to designated Agricultural Land that was excluded from the Agricultural Land
Reserve in 2003. The subject property is therefore within the Green Zone and outside of the Urban Area
Boundary as designated in the Regional Context Statement of the current Official Community Plan. In
September 2004, Council directed staff to prepare the appropriate bylaws to rezone the subject property
from A-I (Small Holding Agricultural) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential).
-2-
In order to permit urban development at this site, the subject property has been identified by Council for
an amendment to the Green Zone. On September 20, 2006, Council applied to the Greater Vancouver
Regional District Board to amend the Livable Region Strategic Plan, and included the subject property in
this application. This approach complied with the preference of the Greater Vancouver Regional
District for a comprehensive review of all proposed amendments throughout the Municipality, rather than
on a parcel by parcel basis. This process must be concluded before the application can proceed.
Alternatives:
Council may choose one of the following alternatives:
grant the request for extension;
deny the request for extension; or
repeal third reading of the bylaw and refer the bylaw to Public Hearing.
CONCLUSION:
The applicant has been pursuing the completion of this rezoning application and has applied for a second
and final one year extension. The final approval for this application depends in part on whether the
subject property is included into the Urban Area Boundary and excluded from the Green Zone. Approval
from the Greater Vancouver Regional District will be required for this purpose.
The application to amend the Livable Region Strategic Plan is currently being reviewed by the Greater
Vancouver Regional District.
As bylaw amendments have occurred since this application received third
development of this site will need to conform to these standards if it proceeds.

b) Planning Analysis:
In discussing this application at their September 27, 2004 Committee of the Whole meeting, Council
noted concerns with the poor land use transition between the proposed development and the abutting
agricultural lands to the west and north. They indicated general support for the proposal subject to
revisions to the development plan to reflect a better transition between potentially conflicting uses.
-2-
n
The original development proposal has been revised to address Council concerns for a better transition
between residential and agricultural uses through the use of increased building setbacks, landscape
buffers and varied densities within the subject site.
More specifically, the site plan has been revised to provide a 30 meter setback along the west property
line of the subject property, and a 15 meter setback on the north. Landscaping iIprovided within these
setbaók areas as shown on the attached landscape plan. Similar setbacks and landscape buffering were
provided by the adjacent Gabriola Estates project to the south of the subject property. Sites for visitor
parking are located throughout the site and away from the buffer areas.
Official Community Plan:
• Although excluded from the Agricultural Land Reserve by Certificate of Order '506/2003, the
subject property retains its A-I (Small Holding Agriculture) zone, and is designated Agricultural
in the Official Community Plan.
• The site is also designated as Green Zone in the Regional Context Statement of the Official
Community Plan.
• An amendment to the existing urban area boundary in the Official Community Plan to
redesignate the subject property to Compact Housing (3 0-60 units per net hectare) is required to
permit the development proposal.
• An application to the Greater Vancouver Regional District Board would be required to amend the
Green Zone boundary as defined by the Regional Context Statement.
• Development Permit Area XV (15) was applied to the adjacent Gabriola Estates development to
the south and would be appropriate for this development proposal.
Process Requirements
The application will require approval from the Greater Vancouver Board to amend the Green Zone in
order to proceed.
Section 866 (4), (5), and (6) of the Local Government Act requires Municipal Councils to:
"4(b) submit any amendments to the regional context'statement for acceptance by the board, and
(5) For the purpose of subsection (4), the board must respond by resolution within 120 days after
receipt indicating whether or not it accepts the regional context statement or amendment and, if th e
board refuses to accept the regional context statement or amendment, indicating
each provision to which it objects, and
the reasons for its objection.
(6) If the board fails to act under subsection (5) within the period for acceptance or refusal under'
that subsection, the board is deemed to have accepted the regional context statement or
amendment."
Correspondence received from the Greater Vancouver Regional District recommends that Council
forward the amended Regional Context Statement to the Greater Vancouver Regional District Board
prior to Public Hearing.
-3-
Recent discussions with Greater Vancouver Regional District staff also indicate that the District may be
constrained in designating areas for urban growth that are outside of the existing urban area. The general
outcome of these meetings suggests that identif'ing areas for urban expansion must proceed on a
comprehensive, District wide basis, that clearly outlines tradeoffs and provides a sound rationale for
preferred options. These considerations must include a reaffirmation of the District's commitment to the
objectives of the Livable Region Strategic Plan,' including:
/
Protection of the Green Zone;
Building of complete communities;
Achievement of a compact metropolitan region, and
Increased transportation choice.
In light of these considerations, Council may wish to defer this application and include it as part of
the overall review of the Official Community Plan.
Interdepartmental Implications
Engineering Department
The Engineering Department advises that the subject property is currently only partially serviced.
The current standard is essentially a substandard urban servicing arrangement that needs to be
improved in support of the RM- I (townhouse residential) zone. Under the terms of the Subdivision.
and Development Servicing Bylaw, a full range of urban services are required including upgrading
and urban treatment 0ç237th Street.
A general servicing issue to be addressed in support of development relate to traffic impacts in the
neighbourhood. More specifically the following issues must be addressed prior to development
occurring:
• the impact on the intersection at Dewdney Trunk Road and 237th Street,
• confirmation with respect to adequatewater supply and fire protection based on the size of
the development
• confirmation of adequate sewer capacity
• confirmation of a stormwater management concept for drainage that limits impact on ALR
The servicing deficiencies can be addressed by means of a rezoning development agreement (section
219 covenant) as a condition of adoption of the zone amending bylaw.
It is important to recognize the servicing implications of the adjacent properties that are within the
Agricultural Land Reserve yet under consideration for exclusion by the Agricultural Land
Commission. The on-site development and servicing considerations that currently apply to the
subject property may be subject to change as a result of the review of the Official Community Plan.
Alternative Courses of Action for Council
For Council's consideration, 'the following options are identified, along with an evaluation of the
advantages and disadvantages of each option.
Option 1: Proceed to First Reading and submit revised Regional Context Statement to the Greater
Vancouver Regional District Board and set the Public Hearing date for Official Conimunity.Plan
-4-
n
and rezoning bylaw amendment upon receiving acceptance from the Greater Vancouver Regional
District Board for amending the Regional Context Statement.
Advantages
• Provides input from the Greater Vancouver. Regional District Board to Council and to the Public.
• Clarifies whether the proposal can move forward prior to taking further action.
Disadvantages
Expanding the urban boundary on a parcel by parcel basis may set an undesirable precedent.
Option 2: Proceed to First Reading and defer submitting revised Regional Context Statement to
the Greater Vancouver Regional District Board, until after the review of the Official Community
Plan is complete and include the application with any prospective amendments to the Regional
Context Statement as part of the Official Community Plan review.
Advantages
Is the preferred course of action as identified by Greater Vancouver Regional District Staff as it
facilitates a comprehensive overview of the areas identified for urban expansion.
• Gives the applicant greater assurance of Council support for the application
Disadvantages
Is not the preferred course of action by the applicant, who wishes to move this proposal to
completion.
Option 3: In light of new information received through discussions and correspondence with staff
from the Greater Vancouver Regional District, defer the application until after the review of the
Official Community Plan is complete and include, the application with any prospective
amendments to the Regional Context Statement as part of the Official Community Plan review.
Advantages
• Is the preferred course of action as identified by Greater Vancouver Regional District Staff as it
facilitates a comprehensive overview of the areas identified for urban expansion.
Disadvantages
• Is not the preferred course of action by the . applicant, who wishes to move this proposal to
completion.
CONCLUSION:
The applicant's revised development proposal generally addresses Council's concerns for a better
transition between residential and agricultural uses and would be supportable on this basis. However,
this application will require approval from the Greater Vancouver Regional District Board prior to
receiving final adoption as it requires a revision to the Regional Context Statement of the Maple Ridge
Official Community Plan. It is therefore recommended that the Official Community Plan amendment
bylaw be forwarded to the Greater Vancouver Regional District Board for its consideration and that the
-5-
Public Hearing date for both the Official Community Plan amendment and rezoning bylaws be set upon
receipt of favourable consideration by the Greater Vancouver Regional District Board.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W
SUBJECT: Application for Temporary Non-farm Use within the Agricultural Land Reserve
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received under Section 20 (1) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act for
non-farm use of approximately 2 hectares of land on a 9 hectare parcel within the Agricultural Land
Reserve, located at 22679 136 th Avenue. The proposed non-farm use is for the temporary staging of
soil, sand and rocks, to be incorporated within a storm water management infrastructure associated
with adjacent residential development. The Applicant's submission conforms to the application
requirements of the Agricultural Land Commission.
The Commission has informed the applicant and the District of Maple Ridge that authorization by
Council is required in order for this application to proceed to the Agricultural Land Commission.
RECOMMENDATION:
That application AL/104/05 (for the property located at 22679 136th Avenue) for non-farm use
within the Agricultural Land Reserve as described in staff report dated February 81h, 2007, be
authorized to proceed to the Agricultural Land Commission.

Project Description:
Application AL/104/05 is intended to obtain approval for the placement of soil, sand and rocks, and an
associated staging area, within the Agricultural Land Reserve for a fixed term of 4-5 years. The staging
area and materials are intended for installation within a storm water management system in Portrait
Homes neighbouring residential development area (located outside of the Agricultural Land Reserve).
This storm water system is the first large-scale application of engineered on-lot and road rain-gardens in
the Greater Vancouver area. It has been considered a success for the initial phases, providing a
demonstration of emerging techniques in low-impact and environmentally sensitive development.
Application AL/104/05 proposes to stockpile some of the required materials within the subject property
over the next 4-5 years, after which it will be entirely removed and the site restored to its former
agricultural condition.
Planning Analysis:
The deposit of soil within the Agricultural Land Reserve is regulated in Maple Ridge by the Maple Ridge
Soil Deposit Regulation Bylaw No. 5763-1999, and the Provincial Agricultural Land Commission Act
(and associated Agricultural Land Reserve Use, Subdivision and Procedure Regulation).
The Commission has informed the applicant and the District of Maple Ridge that authorization by
Council is required in order for this application to proceed to the Agricultural Land Commission. If the
application were to receive support from Council, a temporary non-farm use exemption may be granted
by the Commission.
Some stockpiled materials, as described, are currently located on the subject property in the area
addressed by Application AL/104/05. However, the materials have not been actively worked or
increased since the applicant has been made aware of permitting requirements, pending advancement of
the application. The District was made aware of the stockpiles of material and associated staging area
following expressions of concern by an adjacent resident located within the Agricultural Land Reserve.
The concerns related to perceived impacts within the rural residential neighbourhood of a non-
agricultural nature.
Following submission of a previous Application to Place Fill or Remove Soil (under Section 20(3) of the
Agricultural Land Commission Act), pertaining to the same proposed material stockpiles, the
-2-
Commission informed the Applicant and District that a Non-Farm Use Application would be required.
More recently, the scope of the proposed works was amended to eliminate any on-site processing of the
stockpiled materials.
d) Alternatives:
Without obtaining approval for the proposed staging area for soil, sand and rocks; the applicants will be
required to remove all unpermitted materials presently located on the subject property and to cease with
any further un-authorized deposition. The applicant would then need to locate and establish an
alternative location for this work to fulfill their commitments related to the advanced stormwater
management system.
CONCLUSION:
The recommendation is that Council authorize this application to proceed to the Commission, with
the understanding that the Commission will determine the appropriateness of the proposed use
pertaining to the affected property within the Agricultural Land Reserve.

To Whom It May Concern,
The 22 acre site in the application is to the immediate west of Silver Ridge, a 105 acre
Master Planned Community in the Silver Valley area of Maple Ridge. Silver Ridge was
developed under the latest principals and concepts that were adopted by the new Silver
Valley OCP. This new OCP has new design criteria for environmentally sustainable
development with respect to the treatment of storm water and enhanced green space.
Silver Ridge was the first community in Western Canada to be designed with the latest
and most innovative storm water management principals. The objective was to create a
development that would have post development storm water flows that mimic pre-
development storm water flows. This was achieved by using the latest design in on lot
storm water detention, which entails below grade rock pits as well 12" of specially
amended topsoil spread out over the surface of the landscaped area of each lot. In
addition to this we have created eco-swails throughout the community to absorb and
reintroduce the water from the impervious common areas back into the soil on a gradual
basis, also requiring our specially amended topsoil mixture.
To enhance the community even more, which will ultimately have 394 homes built on the
site, in excess of 40 acres were left as either untouched green space or was enhanced for
use by the community. A network of pedestrian trails was created to add to the natural
beauty of the land and to work within its topography. The mandate of the project is to
preserve as much green space as practical and to minimize the need for excessive land
shaping and contouring.
In developing the site part of the original concept was to reduce the impact of the
development on the neighbouring areas. Rather than trucking the excavated material off
of the site creating noise and exhaust pollution from the trucks and then trucking material
back on to the site at the finishing stages, it was decided to implement a more
environmentally friendly plan.
After a thorough analysis of the soil and its characteristics and contents it was decided to
acquire a screening plant and to take all of the excavated material from the site to a
staging area. The excavated soil would be screened into various grades of material which
would then be able to be re-introduced back into the community. In doing so we have the
ability to formulate the exact type of topsoil required for the application to ensure that our
new design criteria for the development could be under our strict control and monitoring.
We new that undertaking this process would require a significant amount of land and
space and we have been managing it on site. However, when the property on 136 Avenue
came on to the market we quickly jumped at the chance to purchase it. Even though our
intentions were noble it was evident from the outset that space was going to become an
issue.
We have therefore used approximately 5 acres out of the 22 acres on 136th Avenue to
create a staging area to assist us in achieving our goals. Approximately 1 acre was taken
and top dressed with 6" of crush so that the trucks could gain access to the staging area.
The balance of the 5 acres will be used for temporarily storing and sorting the native
material before re-introducing it back into the community as well as temporarily storing
some of the rocks that are required for our rock pits. We expect this to involve
approximately 10,000 cubic meters of soil in this area.
We anticipate this development taking about 4 - 5 years to complete, at which point the
property in question will be returned to its original state. This would include the removal
of any of the excess material that might be left as well as removing the rock base being
used at present for access.
Approximately 4 acres of the property is being used by the resident of the rental house on
the property for his horses and the balance of the property remains untouched.
Although our proposal does not benefit the agricultural community directly, we believe
our principals are sound and benefit the community as a whole.
Reducing the environmental impact of a new development, working with the natural
topography of the land, introducing newly employed environmentally sensitive
techniques and attempting to reduce the level of pollution created by construction
vehicles as well as reusing and recycling the soil created through development process
we believe are all admirable virtues.
1
We hope that you would agree with us as well.

SUBJECT: Variance Permit for
Rockridge Estates Subdivision at 23645 - 133 Ave.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The above site was recently rezoned to R-1 (Residential District) to permit the subdivision of 51 single-
family lots and will be subdivided and developed in two phases. The maximum building height in the R-
1 zone is 9 metres and the applicant is requesting a variance to permit a 10 metre building height on Lots
12 through 18 of the first phase. Under the 9 metre maximum height requirement, the giades on these
sites would limit the construction of a craftsman style house with a peaked roof to two levels. The
applicant is requesting the variance in order to permit a three storey house that will appear as two storeys
from the front.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Manager of Legislative Services be authorized to notify qualifying property owners that
approval of VP1091104 respecting property located at 23645 - 133 Avenue will be considered by
Council at the March 13, 2007 meeting.

Project Description:
A subdivision application is currently in process on the subject site, wherein the applicant is proposing a
two-phased subdivision, involving 33 single-family lots in the first phase and 18 single-family lots in the
second phase.
The 5% parkland dedication was provided in a previous subdivision phase within the Rockridge Estates
neighbourhood.
The applicant is intending that a three-storey house with a peaked roof will be constructed on each of the
subject lots within the subdivision. Of the remaining 26 other lots within the subdivision, the applicant
feels confident that they will be able to achieve a satisfactory housing style within the R-1 zone's 9 metre
maximum height requirement.
Planning Analysis:
The attached diagram shows the craftsman house style that the applicant intends for lots 12 through 18. The
diagram also shows that the roof peak will exceed the permitted 9 metre maximum by approximately one
metre. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a one metre increase in the maximum permitted building
height.
Citizen/Customer Implications:
Some of the property owners to the east of the subject subdivision are concerned about losing their current
views and the applicant has scheduled a meeting for February 1 5th and invited the neighbouring residents in
the existing subdivision directly east to discuss their concerns and assure them that the variance will not
have an impact on their views.
-2-
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
The engineering and building departments are aware of the variance request and neither have expressed any
concerns.
CONCLUSIONS:
The request for a variance to the 9 metre maximum height requirements for single-family homes within the
Zoning Bylaw is a common issue, as many builders choose the peaked roof style in housing design, which is
inherent in the craftsman style and other traditional housing designs.

CORPORATION OF THE
MAPLE RIDGE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE
TO: His Worship Mayor Gordon Robson DATE: February 9th, 2007
and Members of Council FILE NO:
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Committee of the Whole
SUBJECT: Maplecrest Subdivision Petition for designation as a Local Service Area
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A preliminary petition has been received from residents in the Maplecrest subdivision, that requests
Council to revisit the possibility of providing a municipal service. This service would be for maintenance
of enhanced landscaped areas to be paid by residents of the subdivision (to be designated as a Local
Service Area).
In 2002 a similar petition that would have provided enhanced landscape maintenance in specific areas of
this subdivision, failed to gather sufficient support from the residents.
In 2006 residents contacted Parks Staff to determine the process they should follow to create a Local
Service Area. The first step was to circulate a preliminary petition to determine the level of support in the
neighbourhood. More than 80% of residents in the proposed Local Service Area signed the preliminary
petition.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the provision of municipal service for the Maplecrest subdivision as contained in
the report dated February 9, 2007 be endorsed in principle;
That staff be authorized to work with representatives of the Maplecrest subdivision to
further detail the maintenance costs and priority related to such a service, and
subsequently, to hold an open house to provide an opportunity for the benefiting
property owners to get informed about the proposed "local service area" for the
maintenance of their enhanced landscaped areas;
That staff be instructed to forward a report complete with recommendations on the
matter after receipt of a formal petition from the benefiting owners; and
That staff be instructed to prepare the appropriate bylaws.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
In 2002 a petition was circulated under provisions of the Local Government Act to establish a specified
area bylaw for the maintenance of an enhanced level of park development in the Maplecrest subdivision.
This subdivision was developed with a system of trails that expanded on the basic trail network
//5-/
designated on the Official Community Plan. In addition there were small park areas developed in
association with a community mail box structure and trail head access locations. As the provision of
these park areas are considered to be greater than the standard provision of neighbourhood park space, it
was recognized that a funding model for open space maintenance was required. The establishment of a
specified area bylaw to collect a charge per residential unit in the Maplecrest neighbourhood, was the
fundmg model proposed to the residents.
Following the process of the day it was determined the majority of the existing 77 property owners would
not support the establishment of a specified area bylaw. As a result the enhanced open space areas have
not been maintained since completion of the subdivision.
Desired Outcome:
Since the last petition the subdivision has built out to 192 single family lots and will include an 84 unit
townhouse development now under construction (map attached). Residents have canvassed their
neighbours with a preliminary petition asking Council to revisit the establishment of a local service area.
More than 81% of the residents have signed the preliminary petition. With this level of support it is
anticipated that a formal petition will be successful and residents will receive the additional maintenance
for the enhanced landscape areas.
Citizen/Customer Implications:
If the formal petition is successful and the necessary bylaws approved, residents will be required to pay an
annual amount per residential unit based on a cost estimate for the enhanced areas as described in the
bylaw. At this point the current costs have not been estimated, however the figure under discussion in
2002 was $50.00 per residence.
Policy Implications:
The process outlined in this report is consistent with the "Maple Ridge Local Area Servjce Policy".
CONCLUSIONS:
The support received by the residents for their preliminary petition would indicate that a formal petition
will also be supported by the majority of residents. It is recommended that Council authorize Staff to
work with the residents to complete the formal petition process.

PRELIMINARY PETITION.
TO: The Mayor and Council - through the Municipal Clerk,,

DATE: ...................
We, the undersigned residents wish to petition Council to revisit the possibility of providing a

residents of the area (to be designated as a Local Service Area) all of which may be achievable under the
provisions of Section 212 Division 5 of the Community Charter.
We would like to know, should Council express its willingness to consider providing the requested
service, the probable cost of the service, how these costs would be apportioned amongst the benefiting
property owners, the options of payment and other details necessary for us to decide whether or not to
participate in the process. We recognize that this is only a preliminary inquiry to determine if Council will
consider our request and at what cost to us individually. We further recognize that we are not committing
to participation in the process or to contribute towards any expense until Council agrees to consider
invoking the Local Area Service provisions for our request and we sign and deliver a formal sufficient
petition in accordance with the requirement of the Community Charter.
We nominate Mr. / Ms . ........................................... as our contact-person with the
District. All correspondence and information delivered to the contact-person will be deemed to have been
