This application is to permit rezoning to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) to allow subdivision
of the subject properties into approximately 32 single family lots.
An Intensive Residential Development Permit is required to establish guidelines for the form and
character of the development at the Building Permit stage. A Watercourse Protection Development
Permit is required for the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of the watercourse and
ripanan areas.
The following dates outline Council's consideration of the application and Bylaws 6390 - 2006 and
6389 - 2006:
• The First Reading report (see attached) was considered on February 28, 2006;
• First Reading was granted February 28, 2006
• Public Hearing was held March 21, 2006;
• Second and Third reading was granted on March 28, 2006.
Since the 2006 Official Community Plan has now been adopted by Council, OCP Amending Bylaw
6389 - 2006 is no longer required.
Application Progress:
New owners purchased the property in 2006 and the new applicant has proposed a revised subdivision
plan that provides an increased setback from the watercourse, improved site grading, and reduced the
proposed number of lots from 34 to 32. The area of proposed Park dedication for the protection of the
watercourse and surrounding riparian area has increased as a result of these changes. The applicant is

also working towards meeting the requirements of the Watercourse Protection Development Permit and
the Intensive Residential Development Permit.
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 one
year extension. It is anticipated that within the next few months final consideration will be applied for.

To be provided for at rezoning and with subdivision
None
The subject site is 1.98 hectares in size and is comprised of an assembly of three properties. The
application is for an Official Community Plan Amendment to re-designate the site to Compact Housing
(40 upnh) from Compact Housing (30 upnh) and to rezone the site to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential
District) to allow for its subdivision and subsequent development into approximately thirty four (34)
single family lots. No existing buildings will be retained. The net density of development will be
approximately 26 units per net hectare however the Compact Housing (40 upnh) designation is required
to utilize the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zone since a number of the lots proposed to be
created would not conform to zones permitted under the current Compact Housing (30 upnh) designation.
Other corresponding Official Community Plan Amendments will be required to place the lands into
Development. Permit Area.XLL.an order that development on the lands will be subject to the form and
-2-
character guidelines in this development permit area. A re-designation to add a portion of the lands to
the Conservation .iesignation will be required to reflect the actual boundary basedon survey information.
The subdivision layout proposes a new access road from 104 Avenue and a new east-west road in
keeping with the advance plan for the area. A lane will provide access to the lots fronting 104 Avenue
and one bank of interior lots. Lots backing onto the environmental setback will access the new road. The
environmental setback will be dedicated as "Park" as part of the rezoning process. The subdivision
layout provides for the orderly future subdivision of the lands to the east and west which are not part of
this application.
The subdivision will involve fairly extensivexegradingworl andietainingwail..constuicüonto create
building sites, facilitate road construction on 104 Avenue and the new proposed road. These aspects will
be 4ke4at taiLtbroughthesubdivisionprooe.. However, to demonstrate the technical feasibility
of the subdivision layout the applicants have supplied a preliminary lot grading plan and associated
geotechnical report to address re-grading and ensure land stability. It is recommended that the
geotechnical report be placed on title at the rezoning stage for information purposes in the event the lands
are sold before development occurs.
The applicants have also supplied a znanagcmpl and an iirboristreport in
support of their subdivision proposal. The storm water management plan proposes a new outfall to the
tributary of Mainstone creek and the arborist report suggests some limited tree retention possibilities
along the rear of the lots backing onto the environmental setback.
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The subject lands are proposed for re-designation on Schedule B to the Official Community Plan from
Compact Housing (30 upnh) to Compact Housing (40 upnh). The lands were proposed for this
designation in the draft new Official Community Plan and therefore considered suitable for this use at
that time. The property directly to the west of the subject lands are designated Compact Housing (40
upnh) as are lands to the south and further to the east at 244 Street. Re-designation of the lands seems a
natural progression of this type of density and zoning south of 104 Avenue and east to the Conservation
Area designation. Furthermore, it is noted that this particular subdivision will not reach densities of 40
units per net hectare given the conservation area dedication and the lot layout which generally results in
lots larger than the minimum prescribed 213 m2 for this zone.
Schedules A and H of the Official Community Plan will also be amended to include the subject lands in
Development Permit Area XLI to address intensive residential development in the R-3 (Special Amenity
Residential District) zone. It will also be necessary to amend Schedule B of the Official Community Plan
to reflect the actual Conservation boundary based on more recent survey information provided by the
applicants.
Zoning Bylaw:
The application is to rezone the lands to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) which allows for lots
with a minimum parcel size of 213 m2. This zone is utilized for intensive residential development and
will be subject to the form and character guidelines of Development Permit Area XLI. Under the
proposed subdivision plan the lots will range in size from 314 m2 to 560 m2 with an.gyrage..loie....of
ajproximate1y 383 m2 The areato-be designated Conservation and subsequently dedicated "P&k' is
0250.hectares (0.acresor about 12.5 percent of the lands.
-3-
Development Permits:
This site will be subject to development permit areas as follows:
Development permit XXX
The site is subject to Development the preservation, protection, restoration and
enhancement of the natural environment. Prior to doing any works within 50 metres of the tributary to
Mainstone Creek, located on the property to the south, it will be necessary for the applicants to secure a
development permit which addresses the objectives and guidelines of Development Permit Area XXX.
Under the Development Permit the developer will be required to post a security for habitat protection in
compliance with Councils Performance Security for Environmental Protection Policy.
The habitat protection area has been established in accordance with the Districts Streamside Setback
Map and will be as part of the rezoning process. This will meet the Approving
Officer's requirement under Section 941 of the Local Government Act as it relates to the provision of
parkland at the subdivision stage.
Development Permit Area XLI
The site will be placed into the form and character of
development on the lands. The applicant has provided some preliminary examples of proposed homes on
several of the lots to give an indication of intent. More detailed architectural, landscaping and site
grading plans will be required at the development permit stage to more accurately reflect the intended
development. The development permit will address design guidelines for the site including:
• Site Circulation
Building Form and character
Landscaping of private space
Prior to issuance of any building permits, Council will review and consider approval of a Development
Permit that details the above.
Development Permit Area XXVI
The site is within Development Permit Area XXVI. This Development Permit Area was established to
address protection of the natural environment and was based on an environmental assessment prepared
by Resource Systems Management International (RSMI). That report identified portions of this site as
having High Sensitivity. The Guideline section of the Development Permit states that:
"That an assessment will be required of development proposals in areas designated
High Environmental sensitivity areas of Albion as ident/ied in the Resource Systems
Management International report dated June 1993 and as modified during the Albion
Public Review Process."
(eoteohnical and Environmental assessment*,havobeen provided with this application.
It also states that a Development Permit is not required:
-4-
"If a development is consistent with Official Community Plan Policies #52 to #56 and a
Watercourse Preservation Development Permit is obtained."
The Official Community Plan Bylaw 4 167-1989 was amended in 1996, the Environmental Policies, being
#52456 are now contained in the Environmental and Natural Resources section as Policy #3 to #10 in
the amended Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 5434-1996. Policies #3 to #10 have been considered
and addressed as applicable in the preparation of the plans for this development. A Development Permit
XXX for Watercourse Preservation .wi1Lbe required.. Therefore, Development Permit XXVi is not
required. -
Development Information Meetin2:
A Development Jnformation meeting was held on October 20, 2005 at the Maple Ridge Lawn Bowling
Club. Three people attended the meeting and one comment sheet was submitted. The comment sheet
mainly addressed details of site development, road construction, servicing, fencing, and handling of
storm water, all of which will be considered and addressed by staff through the subdivision and
development permit processes. The comment sheet also raised the suggestion of a walkway at the south
end of this subdivision which would cross the creek and connect to 103 Avenue. This was a suggestion
staff was considering given the fact that some of the road connections through this area were eliminated
due to necessary creek crossings and their environmental implications. In addition, a walkway in this
location would be beneficial given the location of the proposed new elementary school on the north side
of 104 Avenue and the future commercial node at 102 and 241A Street. In looking at the proposal in
more detail, it was determined that the connection through the park lands to the south was physically
possible with minimal impact on the lot layout and the watercourse and is certainly desirable from a
connectivity perspective. It may also potentially result in a reduction of vehicle trips in this area. The
standard of walkway through the park land would be sensitive to the nature of the area and be subject to
approval of the Environmental Planner and the Manager of Parks and Open Space.
A plan has therefore been developed which
connecting to the proposed sidewalks in the development. The walkway would then continue south
through parkiand to 103 Avenue. Since there is no sidewalk on the north side of 103 Avenue a sidewalk
extension to an existing sidewalk on 241B Street will be needed. It is recommended that the walkway be
included as a condition of this rezoning and provided for in the Rezoning Development Agreement. The
Parks and Leisure Services Department advises that they consider this walkwaytoeavonnectn
Therefore they consider
maintenance of this walkway to be the responsibility of Engineering Operations as is the case for all
neighbourhood walkway connections Regardless, a budget for the maintenance of the walkway will be
required.
CitizenlCustomer Implications:
Development of this site will establish the road layout for the lands in keeping with the advance plan for
the area. The development will also result in thepgrading.oi.th s,portion d-cittenlion
-ofthe-sanitary-sewer4o4he.se. An important walkway connection will be provided to improve the
connectivity for pedestrians through this area generally and to the future elementary school beyond.
Interdepartmental Implications:
EnEineering Department:
-5-
The Engineering Department advises that not all of the services required to facilitate the
development are in place at this time. Therefore it will be necessary for the applicant to enter into
aRezoning Development Agreement and post a security to do the works."adentified in that
agreement with the District prior toThi'l reading of the relevant bylaws. The Agreement will
address matters pertaining to storm water management and a sanitary sewer extension to the site.
The Engineering Department has also noted the requirement fora temporaiy turnaround at thewest
end of the new roadince it-will be a dead end until lands to the west develop. It is anticipated that
earthw.orks.and retammg wa1ls to facilitate;lthe4sUbdwlsion will be the 'sponsibiityoi4e
deyioper prior to sgning of 4he subdivis pplanin order.±hat..tbeyare in place i,efore'the4otse
created andpotentially sold to-inthvidualbuilders.
Parks & Leisure Services Department:
The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the subdivision is completed
they will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. In the case of this project it is estimated
that there will be an additional 34 trees which is based on one tree per lot. The final subdivision
design will provide exact numbers. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that the
maintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree will increase their budget requirements by
$850.00.
Fire Department:
The Fire Department has raised no objection to this application for rezoning.
Intergovernmental Issues:
School District Comments:
The subject site falls within the catchment area for the Albion Elementary School. That school is
currently at capacity and therefore it will be necessary for those elementary students generated by
this development to go to another school that has capacity. The High school students will go to
Garibaldi Senior Secondary School or Samuel Robertson Technical School.
Local Government Act:
An amendment to the Official Community Plan requires the local government to consult with any
affected parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section
882 of the Act. The amendments required for this application, are considered to be minor in
nature. It has been determined that no additional consultation beyond existing procedures is
required, including referrals to the Board of the Regional District, the Council of an adjacent
municipality, First Nations, the School District or agencies of the Federal and Provincial
Governments.
The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial PlanlCapital Plan and the Waste
Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no
significant impact.
Environmental Implications:
A tributary of Mainstone Creek lies to the south of the lands on adjacent property. A 15 metre
environmental setback from the tributary is required and will encroach into the subject property. The
-6-
portion of this 15 metre area that falls within the subject lands will be dedicated for PARK as part of the
rezoning process. The District currently owns the lands directly to the south down to 103 Avenue.
The applicants have supplied an environmental assessment outlining site characteristics. As mentioned
earlier, approval of a Development Permit will be required prior to any land disturbance within 50 metres
of the top of the bank of the watercourse.
As part of their, storm water management plan The pplicants are TT9posing an all to the tributary to
Mainstone Creek. The applicants will be required tonotif' and secure thenecessary authorizations from
the Ministry of Environment and Fisheries and Oceans Canada which will require compliance with their
best management practices.
CONCLUSION:
With the amendments to the Official Community Plan proposed, the development would be in
compliance with Official Community Plan policy. The preliminary subdivision layout is technically
feasible and preliminary plans have been provided to indicate development intent. It is therefore
recommended that first reading be given to Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw
No. 6389 - 2006 and Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 6390 - 2006 and that the application be forwarded to
Public Hearing.

Project Description:
The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject properties at 11384 and 11410 Burnett Street from RS-3
(One Family Rural Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential District) which will permit the
construction of the "Maple Creek Mews", a 19 Unit townhouse development designed in an L-shaped
layout. Out of the 19 units proposed, 12 are two bedroom units (227.69 m 2 each) and 7 are three bedroom
units (201.12 m2 each). A single access driveway is proposed from Burnett Street and follows the south
boundary of the site rising up to the northern part of the site. A statutory right-of-way will be required for
a portion of Roslyn Creek. All proposed units have an unfinished basement area with parking (2 spaces
per unit) at that level. The main floor shows Kitchen/Dining/Living areas and Bedrooms are on the upper
floor. The North Western part of the site (2310.3 m2 area) will be dedicated as "Park" and it will contain
the relocated Roslyn Creek.
Site History and Site Characteristics:
The Subject site consists of two lots bearing civic addresses 11384 and 11410 Burnett Street, of a total
area of 0.982 hectares (9819.99 m2) roughly "L" shaped. The applicant intends to re-locate, enhance and
dedicate a portion of the Roslyn Creek. Roslyn Creek is currently in a degraded state and will benefit
environmentally from the proposed enhancement works. A Geotechnical Site Assessment Report was
submitted by a professional engineer indicating the site suitable for residential development. The subject
site shows gradual contours sloping from the North to the South (18 to 22 degrees along north and west
side of the site) with the northeast region being relatively flat. The site consists of clay silt soil and is
considered suitable for two or three storey multi-family wood frame townhouse residential development.
However the site will be sensitive to the configuration of the buildings, setbacks and the site grading
design. A more detailed geotechnical report based on the actual building design will be required by the
Manager of Inspection Services at the Building Permit stage. At present two older houses exist on site
which will have to be removed after acquiring a demolition permit.
Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The proposed project complies with the recently adopted Official Community Plan. The subject site is
comprised of two lots, both designated for residential use; more specifically the District will support a
range of densities and housing forms within the Urban Area Boundary. The Official Community Plan
consists of three residential categories of which this site is considered 'Major Corridor Residential'
because Burnett Street is a street built in whole or part to a collector standard as per policy 3-18(2) (ii).
However, because Roslyn Creek will be enhanced and relocated, the Schedule "B" of the Maple Ridge
Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 6453-2006 requires amendment.
Zoning Bylaw:
The proposed RM-1 zone (Townhouse Residential District) is intended for low to medium density
townhouses and multi family residential buildings. The subject site is 'L' shaped and its proximity to
environmentally sensitive areas (Roslyn Creek & the seàond growth trees like Cedars) created some
challenges which will be resolved by dedicating 2310.3 m2 of the site as "Park" and by relocating Roslyn
Creek.
Creek Setback Requirements: A 15 in setback is required from the top of the bank of Roslyn Creek,
established by a registered surveyor. The applicant is proposing area dedicated as "Park" and re-
vegetation along Burnett Street. The applicant's environmental planner from Scott Resource
-3-
Services Inc. and the District's Environment Planner have reviewed the above and arrived at a
consensus for the proposed works.
Density: All buildings and structures shall not exceed a gross floor area of 0.6 times the net lot area. The
net lot area for the proposed project is achieved after deducting the area under "Park dedication"
and "Road dedication", which is 6920.59 m2 . As per RM-1 bylaw a density of 4152.35 m2 is
allowed and the applicant has proposed a density of4140.21 m 2.
Parking Bylaw Requirements:
As per Maple Ridge Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No. 4350-1990, the RM-1 zone requires 2
parking spaces per dwelling unit and the proposed development has 38 spaces to support that. It also
requires a visitors parking of 0.2 spaces per dwelling unit, for multi-family residential uses. The proposed
development has provided 4 spaces. The total parking required for the prOposed development is 42
spaces and the applicant has proposed 47 spaces.
Development Permits:
The proposed design of Townhouses will have to be consistent with the Multi-Family
Development Permit Guidelines for form and character as per Section 8.7 of the Official
Community Plan. Application for the Development Permit has been received and will be the
subject of a future Council Report.
The proposed development will have to comply with the Watercourse Protection Development
Permit Area Guidelines.
Advisory Design Panel:
The proposed project will be reviewed by the Advisoty Design Panel for comments prior to a
Development Permit report being prepared.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department examined the servicing for the subject site and provided their
comments on the servicing requirements as follows:
• Road dedication and widening of Burnett Street to conform to the Urban Collector standard
across the frontage of the site. The road design engineer needs to be cognizant of a high-
pressure natural gas main south of the site and of the desire to reduce cutting into the bank on
the west side of the road and to reduce any need for a retaining wall on the west side of the
road.
• The widening will include a Sidewalk, Curb and Gutter along the east side of Burnett Street.
• Upgrades to Sanitary Sewer, Storm Sewer/Drainage required
• Ornamental Street Lighting required along the east side of Burnett Street
o Street trees required behind the sidewalk across the site frontage on Burnett Street
• Underground wiring required
• Statutory right-of-way required over the watercourse at its final location for drainage purposes.
The right-of-way needs to run from the south property line Lot 1, Plan LMP 25825, to the
north property line of Lot 3, Plan 14176. The right-of-way document needs to state that the
-4-
municipality is not responsible for maintaining the site driveway or the driveway culvert where
the statutory right-of-way covers those private services.
. A demolition permit required from the Building Department to remove existing houses on site.
Parks & Leisure Services Department:
The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the subdivision is completed they
will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. In the case of this project it is estimated that there
will be an additional 10 trees which is based on one tree per lot; final subdivision design will provide
exact numbers. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that the maintenance requirement of
$25.00 per new tree will increase their budget requirements by $ 250.00.
Fire Department:
The Fire Department has reviewed the project and provided the following comments:
• Ensure fire lanes are denoted on strata plans.
• Ensure that signs stating "fire lane - no parking - tow away zone" are installed along all the lanes
before occupancy.
• Carriage width of access lane to be a minimum 6 meters.
• Plan shows a turnaround. Ensure no stopping signs are installed before occupancy. This is to
ensure it is clearly evident that this is a required turn around and must be kept clear at all times.
Required to be a minimum of 6 meters wide and 8 meters in depth on both sides.
• Preferred location of fire hydrants is at main drive entrance before unit designated as A-i and
300 feet in which should be just past unit A-7 and to ensure landscaping does not encroach on
access and visibility and that hydrants can be kept clear in all weather conditions.
• Ensure demolition permit is obtained from the building department. Once the current houses are
vacant, they are to be maintained secure against unauthorized entry at all times, as well as during
the demolition phase until such time as they are totally demolished.
e) Intergovernmental Issues:
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has been informed of the proposed changes to Roslyn creek and
will be notified of the final design.
I) Environmental Implications:
The applicant's Environmental Planner and the District's Environmental Planner have discussed and
worked together to arrive at a nature-inclusive proposed solution that relocates and enhances the Roslyn
Creek thus making the project environmentally viable.
-5-
CONCLUSION:
This 19 unit townhouse development is designed to blend in as much as possible with the existing
topography and retention of natural vegetation (mature cedars) in the North West corner of the site and
addresses the trend towards higher density housing in Maple Ridge. Additionally the project promises
enhancement of Roslyn Creek by its relocation, Park dedication and re-vegetation along Burnett Street
and low-maintenance townhouses as a housing choice for the residents of Maple Ridge. Therefore, it is
recommended that this application proceed to Council for first reading and public hearing subject to
conditions noted above.

building heights, front and rear yard setbacks for R-1
lots
Project Description:
On March 27, 2007 Council will give final consideration to rezone the above noted property to R-1
(Residential District) to permit the subdivision into 31 fee simple lots and 7 bare land strata lots.
The subject properties are located in Silver Valley; the development application proposes to develop the
site using the Eco Cluster principles of the Silver Valley Area Plan. The site is located on the west side
of 232 Street, north of Portrait Homes' Silver Ridge development.
The R- 1 (Residential District) zone permits a single family residential use and is limited to lots of not
less than 37 1m2. As is the case with this development proposal, most of the lots are much larger than the
minimum and have wider frontages in order to provide for building types that will have eyes on the
street, lessening the impact of the garage. Through the rezoning application process it was identified that
a future Development Variance application to relax bylaw requirements for front and rear yard setbacks
and height would be made in order to provide main living area of the homes to be closer to the street,
reduced rear yard setback for those lots that back onto Park land and permitting a "contemporary west
coast" housing form that promotes steeper roof pitches.
Planning Analysis:
The Zoning Bylaw establishes general minimum and maximum regulations for single family
development. A development variance penrnt allows Council some flexibility in the approval process.
Such flexibility can allow an applicant to sensitively fit a project to a challenging site. While the
proposed development may not meet all the provisions of the bylaw it meets the intent for
thoughtfully designing buildings to suit the site.
Requested Variance:
The applicant is requesting that Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw for the R-1 (Residential District)
zone be varied as follows:
Part 6, Section 601, C.11.(b) - Height from 9 meters to 11 meters:
The applicant has indicated that they wish to build homes with an 11 metre height to provide a
west coast contemporary design using a steep roof pitch and high ceilings. The additional height
will allow them to provide the steeper pitched roofs that are charactenstic of the Portrait Home site
to the south.
The actual height variance relates more to roof forms and higher pitches rather than increased
massing of the actual building.
Part 6, Section 601, C.11(c)(i) - Front Yard from 5.5 meters:
Front Yard - requires that the main building be setback 5.5 meters from the fronting street. The
applicant is requesting consideration be given to have this varied to 3 meters for the front face of
the building and 5.5 meters to the front face of the garage. This will provide for "eyes on the
street". This will also permit some flexibility in staggering the homes and front yard setbacks to
give the streetscape more character and lessen the impact of the garage doors on the street.
MR
Part 6, Section 601, C.11(c)(ii) Rear Yard from 8 meters for those lots backing onto the dedicated
Park:
The R-1 zone required that the rear yard setback be 8 meters. The application will be requesting
consideration to have this varied to 6 meters for those lots that back onto a watercourse, which is
the majority of the lots; These are shown on Appendix B as Strata Lot 1 - 3, & A - C and to the
fee simple lots noted as Lot 3 - 25 & 32.
Citizen/Customer Implications:
The requested relaxation will allow for some flexibility in building design and setbacks which is
consistent with the existing neighbourhood to the south.
Alternatives:
If this application was not approved the applicants would have to re-evaluate the development and
explore ways to meet the bylaw and consider what compromises would be feasible. This would
include changing their desired design approach, moving to flatter roof forms or reducing the building
footprint. Combinations of these options may be needed and depending on the options chosen may
result in other implications for the subdivision such as modifications to the engineering drawings with
regard to service locations, driveway letdowns etc.
CONCLUSIONS:
The proposed variances have been reviewed and are supported in that it would allow for the
development to proceed given the topographical and environmental challenges that this area of the site
has. It is therefore recommended that Council approve Development Variance Permit VP/005/06.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W
SUBJECT: Development Permit
20180 115A AVE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application for development permit has been received to facilitate construction of an industrial
building of approximately 1938 m 2 of floor area. The lands are located in the Maple Meadows
Industrial Park and lie within the Industrial Development Permit Area as designated under the new
Official Community Plan. This is the first application for development permit to be processed under
this Development Permit Area. The plans for the development are consistent with the policies of the
Official Community Plan and comply with the provisions of the Zoning Bylaw and Off Street Parking
and Loading Bylaw. The development however is not totally in compliance with a restrictive covenant
placed on title to the lands in this Industrial Park at the time it was initially zoned. This report
discusses a recommendation to discharge this restrictive covenant from lands within the industrial
park.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Offlcer be authorized to sign and seal DP/007/07 respecting
property located at 20180 115A AVE;
That Council approve discharge of the design review and servicing covenant (commonly
registered under numbers AD207375 and U10767) registered against title to any lands
within the Maple Meadows Industrial Park at the request of and at the cost of the
applicants.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
Applicant: Krahn Engineering Ltd. Dave Krahn
Owner: 659947 B C LTD
Legal Description: Lot: 41, D.L.: 280, Plan: 86659
OCP Designation: Industrial
Zoning: M-3 (Business Park)
Surrounding Uses:
The lands are within the Industrial Park and therefore surrounded on all sides by lands designated
Industrial and zoned M-3 Business Park. The lands to the east, north and south of the subject have
been improved with industrial buildings whereas the lot to the west is currently vacant except for
some outside storage.
HO
Existing Use of Property: Vacant Industrial
Proposed Use of Property: Industrial Building
Site Area: 0.220 ha (0.54 acres)
Access: Stewart Crescent and 115A Avenue
Servicing: provided at property line
Project Description:
One building is proposed for the site with warehouse and office space on the ground floor and some
limited mezzanine storage space. The building is oriented towards Stewart Crescent and 11 5A Avenue
with the ground floor office space facing out towards the streets. The building is tilt up concrete
panels with metal flashing and metal doors. Sixteen parking spaces are proposed for the site. Parking
areas are provided to the east and west of the building and the loading activity is generally located to
the rear of the building. The building is designed for two units but could be changed to one user
depending on leasing. Landscaping is proposed along the front and exterior sides of the building.
Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan (OCP)
The lands lie within the Industrial Development Permit Area of the OCP and as such a development
permit is required to be secured before any building permit is issued for this project. The Key
Guideline Concepts for this Development Permit Area are as follows:
Provide a street presence with entrances and architectural interest in building designs fronting public
streets.
Loading facilities should be located away from public streets and into the rear or the interior of a site.
Outdoor storage and less attractive structures such as accessory buildings should be screened with
fencing or landscape.
The transportation needs of diverse users should be accommodated through amenities such as bicycle
facilities, and accessible design for the mobility impaired.
The form and treatment of new buildings should reflect the desired character and pattern of
development in the area by incorporating appropriate architectural styles, features, materials,
proportions and building articulation.
The proposed development responds to these guidelines as follows:
The main entrances to the units are protected with canopies and on Unit 2 it is oriented to
Stewart Crescent. The ground floor offices are oriented towards the streets as are the
mezzanine spaces. Glazing is provided to enhance street presence on both street faces.
Articulation and colour change are also utilized on these elevations.
The loading activity is generally located to the rear of the building and stepped back to assist
in screening from the streets. A parking space for the mobility impaired and a bicycle rack
are provided.
No outdoor storage is proposed for the site.
Building entrances are identified with canopies and signage. Parking areas are located near
entrances and sidewalks are provided.
Architectural style, features, materials, proportions and building articulation reflect the
character of surrounding newer buildings.
MR
Zoning and Parking and Loading Bylaws
The proposed development plans are in keeping with the provisions of the Zoning and Parking and
Loading Bylaws. No Bylaw variances are required.
Restrictive Covenants
A number of restrictive covenants are registered against title to these lands as well as other lands in
the Industrial Park. The restrictive covenants were placed on these lands at the time of rezoning and
subdivision. The covenants include:
• Floodplain elevation
• Use restriction and storm water management; and
• Design and servicing review
The floodplain covenant should remain on title. The use covenant was originally placed on title when
the lands were rezoned to M-2 General Industrial since it was felt that a more business park
appearance to the development was desired. The restrictive covenant was used to discourage certain
uses that were permitted in the M-2 zone. The M-3 zone was modified to reflect the desired
development for this industrial park and the entire industrial park was rezoned to the modified M-3
Business Park zone in February 1994. At that time Council approved an overall process for
amendment of this covenant to remove the use restriction and let the M-3 zoning provisions prevail.
The design and servicing review covenant was required in place of designating the area as a
development permit area. It was also prepared and began being registered when the lands were zoned
M-2. Records indicate that a bylaw was originally prepared to designate the lands as a development
permit area in 1982. That bylaw was eventually abandoned as the owner, the British Columbia
Development Corporation proposed to ensure control of development through the restrictive covenant
rather than by development permit. Staff at the time concluded that this approach was equally
effective and noted that it precluded the necessity for Council involvement in every development
proposal. The covenant provisions addressed a range of issues from servicing issues to setbacks,
design and landscaping issues. The applicants for the subject development advise that they would
comply with the covenant provisions with the exception of the set back provisions which are greater
than the M-3 Zoning Bylaw in certain conditions.
The lands have now been established as a development permit area under the new Official Community
Plan. This designation carries with it the need for proposals that address development permit area
guidelines. The development permit area guidelines cover the same development aspects such as
building design, massing and siting, vehicle access, parking and circulation etc. In general, from a
design viewpoint, the development permit area guidelines are much more up to date and
comprehensive than the covenant provisions. In addition, corporately, many bylaws have been
updated and new bylaws established over the years. The new development permit area guidelines
coupled with the updated and revised bylaws in other areas have substantially addressed most of the
provisions of the existing covenant.
An analysis has been carried out to identify gaps between existing legislation and the covenant
provisions. Significant gaps that warrant comment include:
I. Section 2.05.01 and .02 of the covenant require that lanes, driveways, parking areas and
outside storage must be surfaced with dust free material. These sections also require paving of
these areas when located within the front or exterior side lot lines. The current Off Street
Parking and Loading Bylaw does not require paving of parking areas in industrial zones and
-3-
the OCP guidelines suggest consideration be given to the use of permeable payers for parking
areas. Given that permeable payers could not be considered if this provision is left in it, is
suggested that it could be deleted and surfacing of parking areas be reviewed under the OCP
guidelines. This issue may be revisited when a review of the Off Street Parking and Loading
Bylaw takes place.
Section 5.04 of the covenant restricts the use of the front yard, interior side yard and exterior
side yard for outside storage purposes. The M-3 bylaw restricts outside storage in only the
front yard and requires it to be appropriately screened where it can be viewed from the front
or exterior side lot line. The M-3 bylaw was purposely modified to address the desired
development in this area when the lands were rezoned to M-3. As well the covenant seems
somewhat restrictive particularly for corner lots. For these reasons it is believed that this
covenant provision is no longer required. This aspect of the development can be regulated by
the Zoning Bylaw and OCP guidelines.
Section 4.02 of the covenant provides restrictions on noise control for uses on the lot. The
covenant utilizes a maximum 65 decibels as a standard. The District has a Noise Control
Bylaw No. 5 122-1994 which was adopted in October of 1994. That bylaw deals with noise
control in more generic wording rather than placing specific decibel ratings on particular uses.
In addition when the M-3 zone was amended for use on these lands, noise control was placed
in the Zoning Bylaw under Section 803 (8) (h). The Zoning Bylaw is similar to the covenant
in that it utilizes 70 decibels in general and 60 decibels adjacent to non-industrial use. The
Bylaw Enforcement Section indicates that they use this provision over the covenant since it is
more restrictive adjacent to non-industrial use and is simpler to enforce than the covenant.
Given that noise control is legislated in both the Noise Control Bylaw and the Zoning Bylaw
this covenant provision becomes redundant and could be deleted.
Section 2.03 of the covenant sets out building setbacks. These setbacks are generally those of
the M-2 zone except for the interior side lot line which was increased from 1.5 metres to 2.0
metres in the covenant. The setbacks in the M-3 zone are less than those in the M-2 zone for
the rear and exterior side lot line. The covenant was not amended at the time the lands were
rezoned to M-3 and therefore these more stringent setbacks have been in place for some years
and have been the subject of contention on many occasions. The OCP guidelines address
building siting in relation to design and the building code addresses setbacks from a safety
perspective. These provisions combined with the Zoning Bylaw makes this covenant
provision outdated. The intent of the covenant can be addressed through the existing bylaws
and the OCP.
In summary it is felt that the design review and servicing covenant is outdated and generally
redundant. In addition it appears that many of the covenant provisions were introduced into an
amended M-3 Bylaw in 1994. It is recommended that Council adopt a similar process for discharge of
the entire design review and servicing covenant as was done for the use covenant and allow its
discharge upon the owners request and at the expense of the applicant. The Industrial Park was
developed in phases and therefore the covenant was registered over time under different registration
numbers. It appears from research that the covenant number on a majority of the lands is either
AD20735 or U10767. The recommendation identifies these numbers as well as being somewhat
generic in the event there were other numbers used. A title search on all of the lots in the park has not
been done.
d) Advisory Design Panel:
The plans for this project have been prepared by an engineering firm. The Advisory Design Panel has
declined to comment on this application since the chair has indicated that based on the size of the
building the plans do not have the appropriate professional certification under the Architects Act of
-4-
British Columbia. The issue is currently being discussed by the Panel in order to set direction. In the
meantime, it was felt inappropriate to delay this application. The Building Department has indicated
that they will accept the professional engineer's certification for this building permit application.
e) Environmental Implications:
This application is not subject to an environmental development permit but is subject to covenant
requirements for storm water management as well as provisions of the Watercourse Protection Bylaw.
These aspects will be reviewed as part of the building permit application review.
1) Citizen/Customer Implications:
It is anticipated that most owners in the industrial park will welcome the ability to discharge the design
review and servicing covenant as it will streamline the process and remove a charge from their title.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed development is consistent with the policies of the Official Community Plan and complies
with the provisions of the Zoning and Off Street Parking and Loading Bylaws. It is recommended that
Council authorize issuance of Development Permit DP/007/07 and approve discharge of the design and
servicing covenant from lands within the Maple Meadows Industrial Park as outlined in this report.

Strategic Plan:
Administrating Maple Ridge street events allows the District to manage road infrastructure and
associated risks but yet allows events that promote community development, commemorate and
celebrate community accomplishments and highlight Maple Ridge's natural and built features.
Citizen/Customer Implications:
Permission to use municipal streets may cause some minor delays and inconveniences to other
road users. However, traffic control will be provided by Race the Ridge volunteers.
In addition, the organizers will be distributing an information letter to affected businesses and
residents.
Governmental Implications:
The road use permit establishes that the event organizer must obtain the approval of RCMP for
traffic control and must notify the Fire Department and BC Ambulance Services as well as
coordinate with Coast Mountain Bus Company.
Business Plan Implications:
The Business Plan recognizes that the District processes requests for use of municipal streets as
part of its services. The financial impact of the specific road use is limited to staff processing
effort.
(1) Policy Implications:
Permission to use municipal streets is grantable under the District's policy practices.
(g) Alternatives:
The District could refuse to permit the event to occur at this location. In this event, the organizer
may have to cancel the event.
CONCLUSIONS:
From time to time, the District is requested to allow the use of municipal streets for various events and
activities. Race the Ridge Bike Race has been held successfully for previous years and the organizers
have requested permission to hold the 5th Annual Race the Ridge Bike Race on municipal streets for
2007.

TO: His Worship Mayor Gordon Robson DATE: March 14, 2007

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Committee of the Whole
SUBJECT: Purchase of six Recycling Trucks
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Approved Capital Budget includes the replacement of four and the addition of two Single Axle Low
Profile Recycling Trucks complete with recycling body. After receipt and analysis of the Public Tenders
it is recommended that the contract be awarded to Freightliner of Vancouver Ltd.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That the tender #OP07-007 for the replacement of four (with option for six) Single Axle Low Profile
Recycling Trucks complete with recycling body be awarded to Freightliner of Vancouver Ltd. in
the amount of $778,399.92 (for six units)
DISCUSSION:
Background:
Public Tenders were closed on February 27, 2007 for the supply of four (with option of six)
Single Axle Low Profile Recycling Trucks complete with recycling body. The existing units are
2000 Mac Trucks which are due for replacement in 2007, at which time the 7-year life cycle is
complete. Review in 2006 indicates that it is now time for replacement due to reliability and
maintenance cost considerations. Detailed analysis shows that Freightliner of Vancouver Ltd.
provides the best value to the District of Maple Ridge. In addition, in 2008 two additional units
are required to meet growing recycling demands. Additional funding under LTC #8216
($30,000.00) and LTC #8217 ($250,000.00) has been approved. The tender for four units
included the option of increasing the order to six units if the District so chooses.
Purchase of apartment totes under LTC #8216 will be postponed to a future year.
LTC# 8217 was originally intended to provide for an upgrade to a hydraulic loading/unloading
system. Further review determined this was not feasible as it would reduce the useful life of the
vehicles. We are proposing to redirect the monies to the purchase of 2 new vehicles instead.
Business Plan/Financial Implications:
Funding for the purchase of these units include $505,537.44 from the Equipment Replacement
reserve, and $277,862.48 from LTC #82 16 and LTC #82 17. Adequate funds are available from
these sources.
//107
Interdepartmental Implications:
The Recycling Society has reviewed the tender and concurs with the selection.
Purchase of these trucks will allow the Society to begin collection in the designated growth areas
of Silver Valley and Albion in 2008.
Alternatives:
Extending of this unit was reviewed mechanically and is not recommended.
CONCLUSIONS:
That the purchase in the amount of $778,399.92 including all applicable taxes be awarded to Freightliner
of Vancouver Ltd.,based on their tender submission dated February 24, 2007.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Committee of the Whole
SUBJECT: Katzie Memorandum of Understanding for Blue Mountain
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The attached draft memorandum of understanding has been developed for consideration by Council and
invites the District to participate in the creation of a sustainability plan for Blue Mountain along with the
Katzie and Kwantlen First Nations, in the context of a community forest tenure.
This follows discussions last Fall between the Katzie Band Chief, Diane Bailey, Katzie's Forestry
Advisor, Mr. Charles Friesen, Mayor Robson and senior staff.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Mayor and Manager of Legislative Services be authorized to execute the draft
Memorandum of Understanding with the Katzie First Nation concerning Blue Mountain attached
to the 2007 03 16 report on this subject.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
Council will recall the District applied for a community forest several years ago which was not
supported by Katzie because of unresolved treaty considerations with the Province and was
subsequently denied by the Ministry. Last year Katzie indicated its desire to develop a sustainability
plan for the Mountain and to apply for a Community Forest Tenure to take the place of the a non
replaceable forest license offered through their Forest and Range Agreement (an interim arrangement
in advance of a treaty settlement). The Community Forest tenure defines a geographic area (as
opposed to only the volume of the allowable cut defined in the NRFL) and provides a much longer
term than an NRFL.
The District has had an interest in the management of Blue Mountain for some time particularly as it
relates to the recreation and environmental management of the area. The District position on Blue
Mountain was established in a 2004 04 06 report on this subject (attached). The specific resolution
adopted by Council relating to Blue Mountain was as follows:
"That a letter be forwarded to the Minister of Forests and the Minister of Sustainable Resource
Management supporting
the addition of the area identified in the map attached to the 2004 04 06 report on this subject
as an addition to Kanaka Creek Regional Park and
the addition of lands on the eastern slopes of Alouette Lake in Blue Mountain Provincial
Forest to Golden Ears Provincial Park; and
//So/
c.) the remainder of the Blue Mountain Provincial Forest being managed sustainably for timber
harvest and recreation, with better identification and protection of environmentally sensitive
features, particularly those related to the hydrology of Kanaka Creek and the regional
parks/greenways program, and appropriate recreation management."
Unfortunately the expansion of Kanaka Creek Regional park has been denied in light of the
Forest and Range Agreements offered to both Katzie and Kwantlen.
More recently staff have been approached by Mr. Mike Peters, who is a Recreation Officer with
the Ministry of Tourism, Sport and the Arts. He has advised of his intent to reestablish the group
which prepared the 2003 Blue Mountain Provincial Forest Recreation Management Strategy. His
intent in doing so is to implement the strategies outlined in the report to the best of his ability and
within a budget established for this purpose.
The Memorandum of Understanding attached to this report is intended to ensure that Maple
Ridge Citizens are afforded an appropriate opportunity for input through Council to any decisions
which might be made relating to the resource. This is felt to be particularly important in light of
the likelihood that the two First Nations will have a long term involvement and control of the land
(whether though a forest tenure or treaty settlement).
Desired Outcome:
The desired outcome is the sustainable management of Blue Mountain lands.
Strategic Alignment:
The M.O.U. addresses sustainability and the preservation of recreational, environmental and
economic values of the area.
Citizen/Customer Implications:
It will be noted that the M.O.U. refers to a goal of developing a sustainability plan which
incorporates a long list of strategies including those required to preserve "hydrology and the
protection of the aquifer upon which area residents rely". This will be particularly important to
groups like the Blue Mountain Conservation Group.
The Recreation Management Strategy which is being proposed to be reinitiated concurrent to the
Sustainability Plan being developed will involve several stakeholders including all of those
involved in the original development of the strategy. It will be our goal to ensure the two plans
are consistent.
Public Information Recommendations:
Once the MOU is signed a Blue Mountain Stewardship Technical Team will be formed and
design a process for the development of a sustainability plan which will include some level of
public consultation.
I) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
At this point it is not anticipated that the cost to the District will be anything more than the staff
time involved in participating on the Technical Team. It is felt that some consulting work will be
required to prepare the sustainability plan. It is anticipated that the funding for this work will be
provided through Katzie, utilizing revenues from the Forest and Range agreement.
g) Policy Implications: N/A
CONCLUSIONS:
The District has for many years advanced the notion that Blue Mountain requires a much greater degree
of management. It appears that the Katzie and Kwantlen First Nations are about to be given the authority
to provide the increased level of management. Katzie has invited our involvement in creating a plan for
management of the area. It is felt appropriate to accept the offer for involvement to ensure the District's
point of view is considered in the development of the plan.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Committee of the Whole
SUBJECT: Municipal Position re: Blue Mountain Forest
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this report is to obtain Council direction on an appropriate position for the
Municipality to take related to the use of lands within the Blue Mountain Provincial Forest. This
is particularly important in light of competing requests for the expansion of both the BCIT
woodlot and Kanaka Creek Regional Park. Final decisions on this use rest with the Provincial
Government, however, it is felt to be appropriate to convey the District's views on this subject
prior to the decision being reached. The Parks and Leisure Services Commission have reviewed
and concur with the following recommendation.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That a letter be forwarded to the Minister of Forests and the Minister of Sustainable
Resource Management supporting
the addition of the area identified in the map attached to the 2004 04 06 report
on this subject as an addition to Kanaka Creek Regional Park and
the addition of lands on the eastern slopes of Alouette Lake in Blue Mountain
Provincial Forest to Golden Ears Provincial Park; and
the remainder of the Blue Mountain Provincial Forest being managed
sustainably for timber harvest and recreation, with better identification and
protection of environmentally sensitive features, particularly those related to the
hydrology of Kanaka Creek and the regional parks/greenways program, and
appropriate recreation management.
DISCUSSION:
a.) Background Context:
In 1999 BCIT applied for an expansion to Woodlot #0007 within the Blue Mountain Provincial
Forest area. The proposed expansion included an area to the west of the existing BCIT Woodlot
in the direction of Kanaka Creek. The expansion has not been given final consideration although
we are advised the only step left to take is consultation with the Katzie first nation. In February
of 2002 Maple Ridge Council adopted the following resolution in relation to this subject:
That the following list of issues be forwarded to Atticus Resource Consulting Ltd for
consideration in the Blue Mountain Provincial Forest Resource Strategy:
The postponement of any decision by the Ministry of Forests to expand the BCIT Woodlot into Crown
land until the completion of the Blue Mountain Forest Resource Strategy;
The consideration of viewscape preservation, especially from Golden Ears Provincial Park;
The consideration of possible neighborhood conflicts, i.e. parking congestion on local roads
generated by recreation users;
Possible liability ifProvincial Forest access is provided through District owned property;
The need to determine the number of residential surface water licenses and consider any possible
impacts of timber harvest and recreatio1 use in the area;
The need for a wildlife use assessment and protection of wildlife corridors;
The need to map and classify the watercourses in the area and delineate watershed boundaries,
The need to complete an environmental impact assessment that takes into consideration the wide
range of uses being undertaken in the areas;
Consideration ofpossible mechanisms for dealing with illegal dumping and vandalism in the area;
The identification of any mining claims in the area, and
Assurance that the Woodlot No. 38 and the BCIT Woodlot will modify their management plans to
reflect the outcomes of the Blue Mountain Resource Strategy.
The final Blue Mountain Provincial Forest Recreation Management Strategy report was
submitted to the Ministry of Forests by Enfor Consultants in March of 2003 (copy attached).
Implementation of the various recommendations was identified previously as a significant
challenge given the lack of resources allocated to this purpose. Having said this one of the
consultant recommendations has been acted upon through the formation of an Ad Hoc Users
Group. The group has been meeting over the past year and is challenged with developing an
implementation model in concert with the Ministry. No further information has been forwarded
to Council as a result of these meetings.
The proposal to expand the boundary of the BCIT woodlot is being considered again given
completion of the Blue Mountain Forest Management Strategy. At the same time GVRD Parks
has completed its Management Plan for Kanaka Creek Regional Park and has requested that the
park boundary be extended to the north (see attached map) into a portion of the proposed
woodlot #00007 expansion. The attached GVRD Parks report speaks to this subject as does the
letter forwarded to the District Manager, Mr. Kerry Grozier, requesting that the woodlot
expansion not be considered pending a review by the Minister of Sustainable Resources of
GVRD's request for the Park expansion.
This report is forwarded to request Council's direction concerning the Municipal position on
GVRD Park's request, which can then be advanced to both the Minister of Sustainable
Development and the Minister of Forests.
The remainder of the recommendation parallels the GVRD Parks position on the rest of the of
the Blue Mountain Forest outside of the area requested by GVRD for park purposes.
Desired Outcome:
The desired outcome of this discussion is a clear municipal position on the use of the Blue
Mountain Provincial Forest Lands. Ultimately the decisions taken by the Provincial Government
will have an impact on the livability of the community and on the sustainability of the resource
and adjacent important resources such as Kanaka Creek Regional Park and Golden ears
Provincial park.
Strategic Alignment:
The recommendations noted above address tourism values (related to protection of the eastern
shore of Alouette Lake), environmental values (related to the expansion of Kanaka Creek Park),
sustainable recreation values (related to the appropriate management of recreational uses in the
4
Forest) and economic sustainability (related to mixed use of the lands outside of the area
recommended for regional and provincial park expansion, including timber harvesting). They
also reflect the 1996 Parks and Outdoor Recreation Strategy recommendations previously
adopted by Council.
d)Citizen/Customer Implications:
The recommendations noted above respect many of the views expressed by local residents and
groups concerning use of the Forest with the exception of the Blue Mountain Kanaka Creek
Conservation Group and others associated with that group who have requested that the entirety
of the Blue Mountain Forest be held as a protected area.
e) Public Information Requirements
The Blue Mountain and Kanaka Creek Conservation Group will be advised of the report going
before the Commission and Council and will receive a copy in advance of the Commission
meeting.
The recreation groups wishing access to Blue Mountain may perceive Council's endorsement of
use of the remainder of Blue Mountain for mixed recreation activities (including motorized
recreation activities) as an indication that the District is endorsing those uses. In discussing this
subject it will be important to emphasize that the District's endorsement of mixed use is subject
to adequate trail maintenance and recreation management practices being put in place which will
preserve the environmental integrity of the Forest. These are not currently in place. Nor is an
acceptable access point for motorized recreation use Blue Mountain currently available.
e) Interdepartmentaltlntergovernmental Implications:
The proposed position aligns well with the GVRD Parks report. As noted above the District's
authority with respect to land use does not extend to the Provincial Forest. Final decisions on all
of the District recommendations will rest with the Provincial Government.
I) Financial Implications:
The direct financial implications of the subject covered in this report are minimal to non existent
for the Municipality. However, the financial impact of misuse of an important natural resource
could be significant with respect to lost tourism and the environmental degradation which may
result from unmanaged motorized recreation use of the forest.
CONCLUSION
The most appropriate conclusion is likely derived from the GVRD Parks report on this subject
and follows:
The recommendation ". . .offers continuing support for completing the Provincial Parks system
in the lower mainland and allows forestry activities using sustainable practices to occur over a
large area of Blue Mountain. The land use conflicts in Blue Mountain Provincial Forest are likely
to grow as the surrounding urban communities expand and recreation use continues to increase,
particularly mountain biking. The challenge of managing such urban/working forest interfaces
will likely require cooperative efforts from industry, recreationists, First Nations and provincial,
regional and municipal governments and institutions."

Katzie M.O.U.
Blue Mountain
Katzie approached Maple Ridge about working toward a
Community Forest Tenure for Blue Mountain last Fall
Council instructed staff to work on a Memorandum of
Understanding related to that objective emphasizing issues of
sustainability and incorporating previously identified municipal
interests.
The MOU is intended to outline a framework for working
together toward that end and includes a reference to Kwantlen
involvement as well. We are advised Katzie have signed a
similar MOU with the Kwantlen first nation on this subject.
Apart from a community forest tenure the key., deliverable of the
parties working together is a sustainability plan for the area.
The M 0 U references a number of goals and principles which
should be part of the plan including:
Enhancing recreation and employment opportunities
Stewardship of Kanaka Creek
Stewardship of the Eastern Foreshore ofAlouette Lake
Communicating effectively with stakeholder groups
It also suggests the sustainable forest stewardship strategies in
the plan should consider:
Cultural Heritage Resources
Access Management
Recreation Management
Information Technology
Economically viable Harvesting
0 Visually sensitive harvesting
Silviculture Strategies
Fire Management
Non timber forest products
Wildlife management
Hydrology and the protection of the aquifer
upon which area residents rely
We are advised funding for any consulting work will come from
Katzie through their Forest and Range Agreement.
The District's commitment would be to participate in the Blue
Mountain Stewardship Technical Team with one Council
member and one staffmember. The Technical Team will oversee
the consulting work and public involvement in the development
of the plan.
