EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As part of the 2007 adopted Business Plans, Council directed that a gravel processing operation be
pursued on District property. This was reaffirmed in January 2007, when Council by resolution
directed that a consultant be hired to develop a Request for Proposals (RFP) to develop a gravel
operation on the District's property
Following Council's direction, Stantec Consulting Ltd. was hired to assist in preparing and issuing a
Request for Proposals (REP) to develop a gravel operation and preparing a rezoning application for
the District property on 256th Street.
Stantec have submitted an application to rezone 14.9 hectares of a 60.6 hectare site owned by
the District to M4 (Extraction Industrial) to permit the extraction and processing of gravel
resources. This proposal is consistent with the Official Community Plan
A text amendment to Zoning Bylaw No. 3510-1985 has been proposed to allow for two additional
accessory uses in the M-4 (Extraction Industrial) zone:
accessory asphalt plant and product manufacturing;
accessory concrete plant and product manufacturing.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6495-2007 be given first reading and be forwarded to
Public Hearing;
That Text Amending Bylaw no. 6501-2007 be given first reading and be forwarded to Public
Hearing;
The creation of an equestrian trail around area to be mined be incorporated into the
agreement with the operator; and
That the following term(s) and condition(s) be met prior to final reading:
1102
An approved Watercourse Protection Development Permit;
Approval from BC Hydro as per the proposed land alterations on the BC Hydro Right-
of-Way;
An approved Soil Removal Permit issued from the District of Maple Ridge.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The site is 14.9 hectares (36.8 acres) in size and located on the north east corner of 256 Street and
the unconstructed 136 Avenue right-of-way. This represents approximately 24% of the total property
(60.56 ha or 149 acres). A BC Hydro transmission line right-of-way crosses the property as does the
access road to the Municipal reservoir. An equestrian trail, to the Blue Mountain Provincial Forest
area also crosses the property. Zirk Brook is located on the south portion of the site. To the south is
the unconstructed 136 Avenue right-of-way and the Fire Training Centre of the Justice Institute of
B.C. The property is currently zoned A-2 (Upland Agricultural) and is designated as Rural Resource.
The area north of 2561h Street has long been identified as having significant gravel deposits.
Successive OCP's have recognized the value of this non renewable resource. Most recently the OCP
adopted in November 2006 reaffirmed that gravel should be considered for removal prior to
development.
In 2000 a Gravel Strategy was adopted which reaffirmed a commitment to the historical amounts of
gravel to be removed from the area until an alternative route to 2561h Street is developed. This was
reaffirmed in the 2006 OCP. In December 2006 Council adopted an amended Soil Removal Bylaw
which assigned the historical amount of 300,000 cubic meters per year among the District's
property and two other properties. The assigned amount of 200,000 cubic meters per year formed
the basis to develop a gravel operation on the District owned property. Since the adopting of the
Bylaw, two soil removal permits have been issued, each in the amount of 50,000 cubic meters per
year to the other two properties.
The major components of the proposed gravel pit will include:
• Clearing, grubbing, stripping and stockpiling of topsoil or overburden;
• Excavation of the gravel pit in accordance with the Mine Plan, including processing;
• Implementation of sediment and erosion control measure including development of
infiltration areas;
• Installation of temporary facilities which may require septic and water services; and
• Reclamation of the site.
While gravel extraction is not a land use, processing of gravel can only be undertaken in certain
zones. An application in support of the Gravel Strategy, which will permit the processing of gravel as
a permitted use on the southwest portion of the site has been received. This report will deal with
the land use issues related to the application and necessary amendments to Zoning Bylaw No.
3510-1985.
The District is currently in the process of reviewing proposals from potential operators of the
proposed gravel pit. Should the Zoning Application be advanced to third reading, it is understood
that the District would work with the selected operator who would be required to complete the
outstanding conditions and requirements prior to proceeding to final reading. Provisions for the
horse trails will have to be incorporated in to this agreement.

SITE HISTORY:
In 1993, the Provincial Government transferred ownership of the subject site (approximately 60.6
hectares) to the District of Maple Ridge. At the time of the transfer, a restrictive covenant was
registered at the Land Title Office preventing the property from being used for a landfill site.
In November of 2000, after public consultation and public presentations, Council adopted its Gravel
Strategy and Integrated Gravel Management Plan. That Plan established six principles as a guide to
managing new sources of gravel within the District. The strategy reaffirmed and established a plan
to implement existing OCP Policies.
The six principles (as amended) are listed below:
Gravel or aggregate is a highly valued non-renewable resource and its extraction should be
strongly considered and evaluated prior to development.
Restricting gravel extraction to historical annual levels in the area designated for industrial
lands north of 256 Street offers the best integration among industry, the Municipality and
local resident's interests.
Gravel extraction proponents must comply with all Federal, Provincial, Regional and
Municipal Acts, Policies and Bylaws. Prior to any new gravel source being approved for
extraction all environmental and storm water management requirements must be
satisfactorily addressed.
Congruent with new gravel extraction operations, identifiable traffic safety improvements
related to gravel extraction and transportation will continuously be investigated, reviewed
and considered in the District's capital programs.
The District will seek to optimize its revenues from gravel extraction, within extraction
levels stated in Principle 2, to off set current and future operating and capital costs.
To maintain its currency, this Gravel Strategy will be revisited, reviewed and modified
where appropriate and formally review every 5 years in concert with the Official Community
Plan review.
In 2001 Golder and Associates were retained to complete an environmental assessment, and a
geotechnical and hydrogeological analysis of the portion of the site under consideration. The
findings of these reports will be discussed in detail later in the report.
A rezoning application was made in 2001 for the M-5 (Heavy Industrial) zone to allow for gravel
extraction. This application was defeated at third reading.

0 SOIL REMOVAL BYLAW
The Soil Removal Bylaw as amended in 1997 set the historic levels for gravel extraction in Maple
Ridge of 300,000 m 3 per year. The historic levels are allocated by Schedule A of the District's Soil
Removal Bylaw No. 6398-2006. The Bylaw assigns the maximum annual amount among three
properties. The amount assigned to the subject property is 200,000m 3 per annum. The Soil
Removal Bylaw has other requirements such as hours and days of operation, mitigation noise and
drainage considerations.
C) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The subject property is designated Rural Resource in the Official Community and is identified as
being in an area with potential gravel resources on Map Figure 3 Major Public Utilities. The OCP
policies identify that Rural Resource lands are intended to provide for a range of industrial uses.
Given that this proposal is to rezone to M-4 (Extraction Industrial) which is intended to provide for
resource based industrial uses and primary processing, the proposal is consistent with the land use
designation in the Official Community Plan.
There is also recognition in the OCP that access to the 2560 Industrial Area is limited, and an
alternative access is required before gravel extraction can exceed historic annual levels. Policy 6-53
reads as follows:
"The gravel reserves in the Rural Resource area at the north end of 256th Street will be
considered for use prior to development of the industrial potential. However, before any
additional gravel extraction traffic occurs, beyond historic levels, alternative access needs to
be developed to prevent impacts on the residential character of the neighbourhood.'
Based on the above policies, providing that gravel extraction on the property will not exceed the
historic annual level for the area, the proposed zoning from A-2 (Upland Agricultural) to M-4
(Extraction Industrial) is consistent with the policies contained in the Official Community Plan.
The subject portion of the site is proposed to be rezoned from A-2 (Upland Agricultural) to M-4
(Extraction Industrial) and is consistent with the list of zones that align with the Rural Resource land
use designation, as prescribed in Appendix C Zoning" in the Official Community Plan.
Zoning Bylaw:
The applicant has proposed to rezone the site to the M-4 (Extraction Industrial) zone with a text
amendment in order to accommodate the proposed accessory uses.
The principal use in the M4 zone is: "Extraction industrial" which is limited to gravel extraction and
the primary processing of bulk good generated on the lot.
-5-
The Accessory uses currently permit:
accessory primary processing;
accessory off-street parking and loading use;
accessory one family residential use;
accessory office use; and
accessory industrial repair services.
A text amendment specific to the subject property is proposed to allow for two additional items
under ACCESSORY USES:
concrete plant and product manufacturing;
asphalt plant and product manufacturing.
Development Permits:
This site has an identified watercourse (Zirk Brook) on the south eastern portion and will be subject
to Section 8.9 Watercourse Protection Development Permit Area Guidelines of the OCP. Therefore,
it will be necessary for the applicant to have a Watercourse Development Permit approved which
addresses the guidelines and objectives established in section 8.9 of the OCP for the preservation,
protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas.
An additional Watercourse Protection Development Permit will be required before the concrete plant
and related product manufacturing and the asphalt plant and related product manufacturing occurs
that deals directly with these associated uses to the extraction of gravel.
As per section 8.6 of the Official Community Plan, Industrial Development Permits are only required
for development located within the urban area, a form and character Industrial Development Permit
will, therefore, not be required for development of the subject property as it is located outside of the
urban area boundary.
d). Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department has identified that all the services required in support of the rezoning
application are available to the site. The required services are road, water and a drainage system.
Fire Department
As a large portion of this site is under the power transmission lines, ensure that consideration is
taken to ensure that accessory uses such as a cement production and an asphalt plant be situated
so as not to be located under these lines.
Ensure address is visible from the street and visible day or night. If a free standing sign is installed,
ensure building address is included on the sign. Reminder when clearing site of trees, no burning is
allowed.
Parks & Leisure Services Department
This department discussed the need for trails with they Haney Horsemen, who advised that a north
south trail does exist within the area under application. Based on the concept that the area will be
fenced, a trail system outside of the perimeter fence on Municipal land is required. An equestrian
trail that does not provide access for motor vehicles is required from 2561h Street along the south
boundary, north along the east boundary and west along the north boundary to provide a linkage
with an existing trail on the north boundary of the existing Hydro right of way. A provision for the
horse trails will be incorporated in to the agreement with the successful operator.
e) Intergovernmental Issues:
Greater Vancouver Regional District
If the text amendment is successful, before the operator could begin to proceed with the asphalt or
concrete plant they must obtain a permit from the GVRD under their Air Quality Management Bylaw.
The Ministry of Enerv and Mines
A Mines Act Permit was issued February 28, 2002. The permit is still valid and was provided with a
number of conditions that still apply. (Permit attached)
B.C. Hydro
BC Hydro has reviewed the proposal and provided the following preliminary comments:
The "office, first aid and maintenance facilities" must not be located under the overhead
conductors. They must have a minimum horizontal offset of 20 m from the at-rest position of
the conductor. Ideally the facility should be located off the right of way. The same applies to
the "processing/wash plant".
The drawing shows a "5 m high bench" approximately 140 m east of 256 Street. This
coincides with the point of lowest conductor to ground clearance under Circuit 51-82 in this
span. This could reduce the conductor to ground clearance to unsafe levels.
Topsoil stockpiles along the north edge of the right of way, while depending on height (not
shown) may not be an issue for this transmission circuit, but they may interfere with the
proposed Circuit 51-83 project activities. (BC Hydro and BCTC are placing an additional
circuit within this right of way with an in service date of 2011.)
The proposed chainlink fencing will need to be sectionalized and grounded as per
the attached fence grounding standard.
If insulator cleaning or damage is a result of this operation the cost of insulator cleaning may
be charged to the District of Maple Ridge.
These concerns will need to be addressed before final reading once the gravel pit operator has been
selected.

Financial Implications
Through direct revenue and savings the potential value to the District is in excess of $6,000,000
over 5 years or $1,200,000 annually. This includes gravel royalties, soil removal fees, lumber
revenue, asphalt savings and gravel savings. This funding can be applied to a number of initiatives
including
• New road access
• Road improvements
• Environmental initiatives
• Traffic calming
In addition to the direct value to the District, there is considerable value to the community. Having a
local supply for both gravel and asphalt would significantly reduce costs to local contractors and
developers. This could amount to several million dollars annually.
Currently gravel trucks and asphalt trucks criss-cross Maple Ridge from neighbouring municipalities
with no financial return to the district. A local supply of gravel and asphalt would ensure a financial
return from such truck movements.
Development Information Meeting:
The Development Information Meeting was held in the gymnasium of Webster's Corner Elementary
School from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM on September 5, 2007. Staff from Stantec Consulting, the District
of Maple Ridge and Lefts Environmental Consultants were in attendance. Forty (40) people signed
the attendance sheets and ten affiliated interest groups were identified.
Four (4) main issues were expressed at the meeting:
• Increased Truck Traffic;
• Potential Noise;
• Horse Trail Preservation;
• Possible Environmental Impacts.
Alternative Access and Road Improvements:
The need to develop an alternateaccess was prominently identified by residents in the area.
A number of significant steps have been completed to advance an alternative access. The
transportation component of the OCP adopted in 2006 identified Abernethy Way as the potential
alternative access to this area. The identified route connects 256th Street to the new Golden Ears
Bridge and provides easier access to the new Pitt River Bridge. While the costs of this route are not
insignificant, potential partners to advance this project have been identified.
Translink supports part of Abernethy as a Major Regional Network road. In addition, Translink have
committed to funding up to 50% to a maximum of $50,000 to undertake a route alignment and
preliminary design for Abernethy to 256th Street. Municipal staff is currently working with TransLink
staff to advance a terms of reference for this study. This design would determine the appropriate
route and costs estimates for the road, land acquisition requirements, other agency approvals and
financing options.
Abernethy may be a potential candidate for anticipated Federal/Provincial infrastructure grants.
Industry itself may also be interested in partnering with the District and other agencies to develop
this route. A design build approach similar to the construction currently being undertaken by the
joint venture for the Golden Ears Bridge could also be considered.
Environmental Management:
An environmental assessment has been prepared for the site in 2001 by GolderAssociates Ltd. and
a further detailed environmental impact assessment along with an environmental management plan
has been prepared by Lets Envirowise Ltd in 2007.
The environmental reports cover the following materials:
• a bio-physical inventory of significant natural features, functions, and habitat areas
associated with the proposed site including an environmental assessment of flora, forested
areas, fauna, species at risk, hydrological features, and geological issues related to the site;
• recommendations for protective setback boundaries for watercourses and wetland
features that are consistent with District mapping and setback guidelines;
•
• environmental impact assessments for gravel extraction activities, along with a preliminary
review for gravel washing, asphalt processing, and concrete processing activities including
recommendations on suitability, further studies required, and potential mitigation
measures;
• environmental mitigation measures to ensure protection of significant features and
protected areas;
• an environmental operations management plan to be implemented through the detailed
design, construction, operation and reclamation of the gravel pit;
• An environmental review of the proposed gravel operation plan by Letts Envirowise.
The Environmental Management Strategy examines potential environmental impacts and provides
mitigation strategies including an Environmental Protection Management Plan to minimize the
potential adverse environmental effects that the mining operation may have. These will include:
• A Surface Water Management and Sediment Control Plan;
• A Waste Management Plan;
• A Spill Prevention and Emergency response Pan;
• A Monitoring Plan;
• A Reclamation Plan; and
• An annual environmental Audit.
The environmental assessment identifies the need for a 30-metre habitat protection buffer to be
established onboth Zirk Creek and the wetland area on the southwest portion of the site. A 15
-9-
metre setback was also identified for a non permanent food and nutrient bearing drainage channel
that runs into the mainstem of Zirk Creek.
In addition specific mitigation measures were carried out to minimize potential impacts to aquatic
and terrestrial resources, including additional field verification for rare and endangered species, a
migratory bird nesting survey, a wildlife tree and raptor nest survey, and a tree survey to identify
unique or hazard trees within the area. The Ministry of Water, Land, and Air Protection has
developed a vegetation and wildlife species evaluation list for species indigenous to B.C. They are
the Red-listed species, which are considered endangered or threatened and Blue-listed species,
which are considered to be vulnerable. No red-listed species were observed, there was, however a
Blue-listed species found in the wetland .area (a red-legged frog). The Environmental Assessment
identifies that the habitat of this species needs to be protected by maintaining the undisturbed 30-
metre riparian setback area adjacent to Zirk Brook and the wetland area.
In the initial application, comments were solicited from the Alouette River Management Society
(ARMS) and from the Kanaka Education-Environmental Partnership Society (KEEPS). Both these
groups were concerned that the assessment did not cover the entire 60.6 hectare site and that it
was only over one season. Since their initial review, Golder Associates and Envirowise Ltd. have
undertaken additional site assessments through the fall, winter, and spring, summer seasons. The
scope of the environmental assessment and impact assessment includes the area of the site under
rezoning as well as the remaining portion of the municipal property to the east up to the
easternmost property line. The Environmental Impact Assessment covers approximately 1 kilometer
area in total.
In all of the additional and recent surveys, there were no raptors' nests found nor any additional red
or blue species. Should any work be contemplated beyond the current proposed phase I area (14.9
hectares), similar Environmental Assessments and Environmental Impact Assessments will be
required before any approval or development will be allowed. More detailed environmental studies
will also be required if and when there are any further proposals or specifications for any kind of
processing activity beyond gravel extraction or gravel washing.
Traffic Improvements:
The need for improved traffic management on 256th was identified through the public information
meeting. This can be accommodated through traffic calming, sidewalk separation improvements, a
redesign of the intersection of 256th and Dewdney and road markings and signage. These
improvements can be funded though the gravel reserve fund.
Equestrian Trails:
An existing Horse Trail exists on the site and will continue to do so during and after the gravel pit is
open. The exact location of the trail will be determined prior to final reading of the bylaw and in
consultation with interested parties and future operator. As in the past, the District will make every
effort to ensure the trail remains available for use by the community during all stages of
development on this site.
- 10 -
Alternatives:
Gravel extraction is a resource and not a land use and is, therefore, permitted in any zone. If this
application is not successful the gravel pit could proceed; but without processing or storing of the
extracted material on site. As a result, the marketability of the resource would be significantly
diminished and the financial returns to the District significantly lessened. Similarly if Council
considers not approving the text amendment to the zone then the savings anticipated from asphalt
and/or concrete facilities would be forfeited.
CONCLUSION:
The application supports the District Gravel Strategy and recognizes the gravel resources as
identified in the Official Community Plan and on site. It is recommended that the Zone Amending
Bylaw and Text Amendment be given first reading and forwarded to Public Hearing.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer A1TN: CofW
SUBJECT: Development Permit
23701 KANAKA WAY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An Intensive Residential Development Permit application has been made for subject property
located at 23701 Kanaka Way. The Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw to relocate the
conservation boundary and the Zone amending bylaw to the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential
District) zone was previously approved at the September 26, 2006 Council meeting.
The Intensive Residential Development Permit, which was established to provide a greater
emphasis on high standards in aesthetics and quality of the built environment while protecting
important qualities of the natural environment, applies to this proposed development. The
development proposal is for the 35 lots proposed under subdivision application SD/029/05.
.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal DP/029/05 respecting property
located at 23701 Kanaka Way.

DP/047/07 - Watercourse Protection
The subject property is 3.05 hectares (7.5 acres) in size and is located on the north side of
Kanaka Way. The applicant previously applied for an Official Community Plan amendment to
relocate the conservation boundary and rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) to permit the 35 lot subdivision under
SD/029/05. Council considered the OCP and rezoning application and Community Plan
Amending Bylaw No. 6368 - 2005 and Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6369 - 2005 was approved at
the regularly scheduled Council Meeting of September 26, 2006. A Preliminary Letter of Approval
has'also been issued by the Approving Officer for the 35 lot subdivision.
As the zone for the potential lots is R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District), the applicant is
required to obtain an Intensive Residential Development Permit. The applicant has proposed a
variety of craftman styled homes. Those lots that have a lane also have a detached two car
garage and lots orientated without a lane have a double garage located within the home itself.
Planning Analysis:
Intensive Residential Development Permit:
Intensive Residential Development Permit was established to provide a greater emphasis on high
standards in aesthetics and quality of the built environment while protecting important qualities
of the natural environment. The key guideline concepts for the development permit area are as
follows:
1. Neighbourhood cohesiveness and connectivity should be maintained through the design
of varied yet compatible buildings, in materials used and in architectural styles, in
-2-
landscapes and in recreational areas, and by facilitating a range of transportation
choices.
• The proposed development is surrounded by residential uses and is compatible
with other R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) and CD-1-93 developments in
the area.
• Twelve different single family housing designs are proposed. Each is similar in
character, but/s varied through materials, colours and architectural style.
• A street tree plan has been submitted to the District, which meets the District's
Street Trees Guidelines.
2. A vibrant street presence is to be maintained through a variety of housing styles, by
maintaining street parking and by directing garage structures and off-street parking to the
rear of a property accessible by a lane.
• Some of the proposed have porches which create an outdoor living space.
• Garages are located to the rear of the property where accessible by a municipal
lane.
d) Financial Implications:
There will be 20 trees added to the municipal street tree inventory on completion of this project.
The costs associated with maintaining these trees will need to be included in a subsequent
operating budget.
CONCLUSION:
As the development proposal complies with the guidelines of the Intensive Residential Development
Permit Area and the Multi-Family Development Permit Area, it is recommended that DP/029/05 be
given favourable consideratio . I

Dear Jen:
Please find enclosed completed checklist for the Intensive Residential Development Pernit Area
Cuidelines for this phase of Kanaka Way and 237 5treet single family subdivision.
We believe that the design of the current phase is consistent with the previous submissions for this
. subdivision made in the past. The design of all single family lots and houses complies with the
regulations set out in the R-3 toning, especially the maximum height restriction of 9.75m or 2 storeys.
Also, please now that the width of all tots within this phase is substantially wider than the required 7.9
metres for lots with lane access and 10.5 metres for lots without lane access.
We believe that the proposed pro;ect reflects and exceeds the spirit of the guidelines and we are
looking forward to a swift and successful approval process.
We hope that you find everything in order. Should you have any specific questions or concerns, please
do not hesitate to contact our office at 604-662-8689

A development permit application has been made in support of a development plan for a
35 tot subdivision application (SD/029/05).
C) Environmental Implications:
The site has a watercourse identified on Schedule 'C' of the Official Community Plan and
is included into the Watercourse Protection Development Permit Area Guidelines that was
established for the preservation and protection restoration and enhancement of
watercourse and riparian areas. A Development Permit is required for all development
and subdivision activity or building permits within 50 meters of the top-of-bank of all
watercourse and wetlands as shown on Schedule C - Natural Features Map.
Security may be posted in accordance with Council Policy for Performance Security for
Environmental Protection to ensure that the Watercourse Protection Development Permit
Area Guidelines are met.
d) Planning Analysis:
The Watercourse Protection Development Permit Area Guidelines may be varied with
supporting documentation from a qualified professional at the discretion of Council.
WATERCOURSE PROTECTION DEVELOPMENT PERMIT GUIDELINES:
A. Watercourse Protection Area Establishment:
1. Watercourse protection areas are to be established in accordance with their habitat
value and the potential impacts proposed by adjacent development. The District of
Maple Ridge, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the Ministry of Environment,
Lands and Parks have endorsed the proposed watercourse protection boundaries as
shown on the District's Streamside Setback Map.
Setbacks from Horseshoe Creek have been established in conjunction with the
District's Streamside Setback Map.
-2-
The watercourse protection areas are to be dedicated where possible into public
ownership for conservation purposes.
The watercourse protection area has been dedicated as Park and a restrictive covenant
has been registered for habitat protection of the conservation area.
The boundaries of the watercourse protection areas are to be physically located on the
ground by a B.C. Land Surveyor prior to site disturbance.
A BCLS has located the watercourse protection area on the ground.
Temporary barrier fencing will be installed adjacent to watercourse protection areas
prior to any construction activity and should be replaced with permanent post and rail
fence upon development completion.
A temporary barrier fence has been installed adjacent to the watercourse protection
area. This will be replaced with a permanent post and rail fence upon completion of
the development.
All lots must provide the required minimum lot dimensions as set out in the Zoning
Bylaw exclusive of the watercourse protection boundaries.
All lots meet the required minimum lot dimensions.
B. Erosion Control:
All work is to be undertaken and completed in such a manner as to prevent the release
of sediment to any ravine, watercourse or storm sewer. An erosion and sediment
control plan that involves implementation prior to land clearing and site preparation
and the careful timing of construction is to be provided in accordance with the
requirements of the District's Watercourse Protection Bylaw 6410 - 2006.
• The developer/applicant has provided assurances through Schedule A of the

is in accordance with the requirements of the Maple Ridge Watercourse
Protection Bylaw No. 64 10-2006; and
• In support of watercourse protection, a signed letter from the engineer of
record has been submitted with assurances that the storm water
management plan for the site will meet the DPO Urban Storm water
standards for water velocity, volume, and water quality.
Temporary fencing should be erected to prevent any encroachment or disturbance into
the watercourse protection area prior to any clearing or construction on the site.
This is a requirement of the Watercourse Protection Bylaw and a Watercourse
Protection DP site plan has been submitted demonstrating compliance with these
requirements.
SRI
8. Cutting and filling adjacent to watercourse protection areas is to be kept to a minimum
incorporating appropriate structural fill material and blending graded areas with natural
slope, as supported by the Hillside Policies of the OCP.
A grading plan has been prepared and submitted to the District in support of the
development.
9. The District may require environmental impact studies, enhancement works, and
monitoring in support of development proposed to be located within a Watercourse
Protection Area. Supporting documentation, technical studies, and recommendations
with respect to impacts of the proposed development may include the following:
A geotechnical slope stability report;
A flood protection report;

• A significant amount of vegetation will be protected within the
watercourse protection area which is dedicated as park.
-4-
A cost estimate, security bond, and enhancement plans for water course
improvement adjacent to Horseshoe Creek has been received by the
District..
Stormwater outflows to the stream or leave area should have water quality and erosion
control features so as to minimize their impacts on fish habitat and in compliance with
the Districts stormwater management plans.
• The applicant/developer shall provide copies of all necessary approvals
(and supporting information) from senior agencies for all new storm water
outfalls located within setback areas.
• A letter of confirmation from the engineer of record has been received
stating that his storm water management plan meets DFO storm water
management standards for volume, velocity, and water quality as
required by the Watercourse Protection Bylaw.
• In addition, the engineer of record must demonstrate compliance with
current Provincial and GVRD site source controls where possible.
Calculations demonstrating compliance with the three tier system may be
required.
D. Monitoring:
The implementation and maintenance of environmental mitigative controls or measures
approved by the District are to be monitored by a qualified environmental monitor.
• Environmental monitoring will be a key element of the development of this
site Phoenix Environmental services Ltd. will be the environmental
monitors for the project and will ensure performance meets with the
standards established by the Watercourse Protection Bylaw.

Dear Mr. Stott:
Re: Proposed Subdivision, 23701 Kanaka Way, Maple Ridge, B.C.
A 35-lot single-family residential subdivision is proposed for an existing vacant parcel on the
north side of Kanaka Way across from the intersection with 237 th Street at 23701 Kanaka Way
(the Site). The Site is bounded on the west by Horseshoe Creek. The majority of the Site is
sloped to the west toward Horseshoe Creek. Through historical previous uses, the area of mature
trees (cedar, fir, cottonwood) is restricted to the setback area established along Horseshoe Creek.
There is a proposed future townhouse site to the north of the proposed SFR lots in the northwest
corner of the Site. A small, existing wetland is located near the north boundary of the future
building lot. It is understood that a no-disturbance covenant will be established to protect the
wetland.
Setback Restoration and Enhancement
Please find the attached drawing for your reference: Habitat Planting Plan, 23701 Kanaka Way. The
plan shows the proposed subdivision lots and setbacks overlain on an aerial photo. As noted above,
most of the setback area is cunently well vegetated with mature cedar, fir and cottonwood trees.
However, the outer edge of the setback area adjacent to proposed lots 30-3 2 is relatively oven with
scattered pole sapling (alder, cottonwood) trees. The area not presently ireed is about 520 m in size,
and the area to be planted is shown shaded in green on the attached plan.
A planting list and species count is also presented on the attached plan. Based on the planting list, it is
estimated that cost of planting will be $3,000 plus taxes. It is estimated that monitoring of the planting
should not exceed $1,500 over the 3 year monitoring period. The cost of any replacement planting
that might be required cannot be determined at this time.
The arboiist report by Mike Fadum & Associates Ltd. (provided separately) refers to a large Bitter
cheny (Prunus emarginata) tree that leans toward the subdivision lots and is supported by a western
red cedar. The Bitter cheny tree may require removal. Other hazard trees may need to be removed
once the arbonst has inspected the Site following completion of site preparation work. A budget of
$1,000 is suggested for hazard tree replacement

Raptor Survey
A site visit was conducted on May 31 2007. The crowns of existing mature trees within the sethack
were examined for stick nest structures with the aid of binoculars. There were no raptor nests
observed in any of the trees. None of the conifer trees exhibited large cavities suitable for raptor
nesting. It should be noted, however, that the raptor swvey was limited to the mature forest along the
east side of Horseshoe Creek adjacent to the development site.
Phased Clearing Plan
The Site has already been cleared by previous historic land uses, and by recent site preparation work
(i.e. construction of a temporary road and fill placement).
Please contact me at 604-689-3888 if you require any clarification or additional information
concerning the above matters.

to provide inspection, assessment, and reporting services in accordance with the requirements of the
Watercourse Protection Development Permit. This includes the requirement to ensure compliance with the
following:
Prior to any clearing and/or disturbance to the site, the Development Permit Area must be inspected by
the environmental monitor to ensure all protective controls and mitigation measures are
installed/constructed in accordance with municipal requirements found within the current Watercourse
Protection Bylaw and the approved environmental Development Permit. A final inspection and written
confirmation by the environmental monitor is required that provides assurance all environmental
requirements have been adequately addressed and completed.
Development and construction plans must incorporate the low impact development guidelines. See
Attachment on "Low Impact Development Guidelines". The professionals of record for the site are
responsible for providing recommendations on how and when these guidelines can be incorporated
into the development plans.
To prevent damage or destruction to protected areas and natural features, it is the responsibility of the
developer and the qualified environmental professional (QEP) to ensure protective fencing and
markers have been placed around protected areas, natural features, or infiltration areas for protection.
Where encroachment and degradation of vegetation within a setback or protected area occurs or where
vegetation has been removed from a non developable area, the QEP must prepare a restoration or
replanting plan for the District of Maple Ridge.

5% Money in lieu of parkiand dedication
24901 108 Avenue
DATE: September 5, 2007
FILE NO: SD/078/06
A1TN: CofW
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The above noted subdivision is subject to both Policy 8 of the Official Community Plan and the
provisions of the Local Government Act regarding parkland dedication or payment of money in
lieu. It is recommended that Council require money in lieu of parkland dedication for the
property located at 24901 108 Avenue.
RECOMMENDATION:
That pursuant to Council's policy regarding 5% Parkland Dedication or payment of Money In
Lieu, be it resolved that the owner of land proposed for subdivision at 24901 108 Avenue,
under application SD/078/06, shall pay to the District of Maple Ridge an amount that is not
less than $105,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
Policy 8 of the Official Community Plan states that in order to preserve watercourses, an
owner of land being subdivided shall, at the option of Council either:
Provide park land or an amount not to exceed 5% of the land being subdivided in a
location acceptable to Council; or
Pay to the Municipality an amount that equals the market value of up to 5% of the land
that may be required for parkland purposes.
Where there is a significant watercourse and the District has the ability to include ravines and
watercourse protection areas into the public realm, that area is dedicated Park. These areas
provide for large vegetated areas in urban neighbourhoods that provide corridors for wildlife
and passive park areas for residents.
Where there is either no watercourse or the watercourse is deemed insignificant, 5% of the
market value of the land is paid to the District. These funds are placed into a special
Parkiand Acquisition Reserve Fund, which enables the District to purchase areas deemed
important for habitat protection but where the ability to achieve parkiand through
development is limited, such as the Blaney Bog.
1105
In this particular instance there is no watercourse present and it is, therefore, recommended
that money in lieu of parkland dedication be provided.
In keeping with past practice, the District has requested that an appraisal be provided for the
5% market value of the development site. This appraisal is based on zoned but not serviced
land.
An opinion from an appraisal firm has stated that the market value of the land is
$2,100,000.00, which indicates that the 5% value of this property is $105,000.00.
CONCLUSION:
As there are no watercourses on the property it is recommended that Council require money in
lieu of parkland dedication as prescribed in the appraisal.

Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No.6467-2007
22875 132 AVE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property located in the Silver Valley area from
RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to the following five zones:
• R-1 (Residential District), RST (Street Townhouse Residential Zone), and CD-3-98
(Comprehensive Development Zone) to permit the subdivision of 58 lots;
• RS-ld (One Family Urban [Half Acre] Residential) to permit a one acre parcel
subdivision, enabling the existing house site to remain as part of the development;
• A-I (Small Holding Agricultural) for the portion of land at the south end of the
subject site that is designated Agricultural in the Official Community Plan.
Ten of the 58 lots, discussed above, are proposed as attached duplex-type units that are eachfee-
simple units with no common property, as opposed to stratified units with common property
ownership. A new zone (RST - Street Townhouse Residential Zone) has been prepared to permit
development of the attached non-strata units.
The proposed use of Eco-Cluster residential development complies with the Official Community Plan,
except for one portion of the site designated as conservation area. The applicant has applied to
remove a portion of the site out of the conservation area, because it has a slope that is less than 20%
and no significant environmental features have been identified. In exchange, the applicant is
proposing to dedicate some of the steeper portions of the site that are not currently designated as
Conservation The applicant has requested a relaxation of the 30 metre setback requirement for small
tributary off the mainstem of Cattell Brook, to a minimum setback of 15 metres, in exchange for an
expanded setback to the north of the three artificially created Cattell Brook Ponds and restoration of
the south portions of Cattell Brook and the three ponds. An equestrian trail is proposed to run
east/west through the dedicated area at the south end of the site.
A dedicated park is proposed for the highest elevation on the site to protect the rocky outcrop
identified in that location as well as the expansive viewscape. This location will be included in the
Natural Features Development Permit that is required for this site.
1101
The lower portion of the subject site, south of Cattell Brook, is not proposed for inclusion in the
subject development, as it is designated Agriculture and proposed to remain as such. The application
includes a rezoning of the Agricultural portion of the site from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential)
to A-I (Small Holding Agricultural) and the subdivision of this portion from the proposed
development area.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6508-2007 be read a first

b) Project Description:
The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject site to permit the subdivision and development of 58
lots. Most of the lots are proposed for RS-1 (Residential District) zoning to permit single-family
development and ten lots are proposed for a newly proposed RST (Street Townhouse Residential) zoning
that will permit a duplex-style form of townhouse that will not be bound together by a strata-title, but
instead subdivided along the line that extends through the party wall and continues to the front and rear
lot lines. An easement will be registered on these lots to ensure that all joint maintenance issues are
addressed prior to occupancy. The easement will be registered at subdivision. Six of the proposed lots at
the north end of the site require rezoning to CD-3-98 (Comprehensive Development) to match the zoning
already in place on the site to the north, on which a subdivision was recently approved. At the
subdivision stage, these six lots will each be subdivided and consolidated with the single-family lots to
the north.
The applicant is requesting an amendment to a portion of the conservation area shown for this site on the
Silver Valley Area Plan, as an environmental assessment found that most of the west side of the site is
developable land that is not encumbered by steep slopes, creeks, or other significant environmental
features. However, a rocky outcrop, with a panoramië viewscape, was identified on the northern portion
of this designated conservation area and the applicant has agreed to dedicate this significant
environmental feature. Approximately 40% of the subject site will remain as conservation area, through
park dedication, due to steep slopes, setback requirements from Cattell Brook, and the rocky outcrop,
discussed above.
-4-
The development is expected to be similar to that of the award winning Silver Ridge Eco-Cluster, with
similar housing design, and the incorporation of innovative stormwater management standards. The lot
geometry proposed for this development is aligned with the Eco-Cluster vision defined in the Silver
Valley Area Plan, which includes:
• Condensing housing clusters within clearly defined limits;
• Proposing minimal site regrading;
• Incorporating parkettes, which serve as green frontage for most units;
• Maximizing retention of existing vegetation;
• Limiting development to areas where existing grades are less than 20%;
• Natural open spaces are connected and continuous, creating wildlife corridors;
• Protecting environmentally sensitive areas through public ownership;
• Retaining and enhancing unique natural features, such as rocky knolls;
• Providing a variety of trails that ensure linkages and connections to surrounding

c) Planning Analysis:
The northern portion of the subject site, from Cattell Brook northward, is located in Silver Valley and
proposed as an Eco-Cluster development. The site grades vary from 10% to greater than 30% slopes,
making some areas of the site a challenge to develop. A creek, known as Cattell Brook, runs through the
site, starting at its headwaters at the northeast side of the site and flowing to the south end of the site
where it turns west, connects with three artificial ponds, and continues directly across the bottom portion
of the site. There is a requirement for a 30 metre setback from the top of bank, however, the applicant
has requested a relaxation for this to 15 metres at the headwaters of a tributary flowing into Cattell Brook
and for a reduction to 27 metres at two locations upsiope of Cattell Ponds. Compensation for these
relaxations involves restoration work on the ponds, riparian plantings where needed and expanded
setbacks in various areas for a net gain of riparian habitat.
The rocky outcrop at the top of site, which is designated as conservation area, extends under the footprint
of the existing house site - "the Nelson house site" (the house burned down recently). The current
property owners intend to retain the housing site through subdivision into a one acre parcel and
subsequently rebuild the house. The house site is proposed for rezoning to RS-ld (One Family Urban
[Half Acre] Residential). In order to ensure that the new house does not encroach any further into the
rock-v outcrop area, a covenant will be attached to the Nelson house site requiring that the house be
reconstructed on the existing footprint. The rocky outcrop area outside of the Nelson house site is
proposed for dedication into public ownership. Access to the viewpoint atop the rocky outcrop will be
from hiking trails proposed at the following entry points: 1) 136th Avenue; 2) Nelson Peaks Drive,
adjacent to first parkette off of 136 th Avenue; 3) the end of Nelson Peaks Drive, adjacent to the last
parkette on the roadway.
A subdivision application has been received for this site, which will involve the subdivision of the
individual parcels and the subdivision of the portion of this site designated as Agricultural land. The
portion of the site that is designated as Agricultural use will be subdivided from the proposed
development and be rezoned to A-i (Small Holding Agricultural).
-5-
Access to the site is proposed off of 136 " Avenue, which will be constructed along with the recently
approved subdivision to the north. A secondary access will be created as a 6.0 metre emergency
access/exit only and will run east/west between the west side of the site and the site to the west. A
locked gate will prevent regular vehicular movement through the emergency access and the Fire
Department will hold a key for emergency purposes.
The portion of the site in the Agricultural Land Reserve will be subdivided from the proposed
development and will maintain its current access through a panhandle driveway off of 132"' Avenue.
There is an existing driveway that continues northward past this lot through the subject site providing
driveway access to the existing house footprint at the top of the hill (the house burned down recently). A
portion of this driveway will become an emergency/maintenance road for access to the three Cattell
Brook ponds. Access to this maintenance road, which will have a locked gate and keys provided to the
Parks and Fire Departments, will be from the newly constructed road off of 136th Avenue.
A horse trail is proposed at the south end of the site and is intended to connect with a trail network
continuing through the adjacent sites to the east and west.
Official Community Plan:
The proposed Eco-Cluster development is one of only a few Silver Valley sites, to date, that has required
a rezoning application in addition to-a subdivision application, as most of the previous Eco-Cluster
developments have occurred on pre-zoned land. An Eco-Cluster is defined in the Silver Valley Area Plan
as:
A group of housing units, condensed within clearly defined limits, surrounded by open space and
linked to other parts of the Silver Valley community by a single local road.
The plan recognizes that the areas designated as Eco-Cluster often have steep slopes and the intent is to
encourage lots that take advantage of areas with slopes less than 20% grade by clustering development in
these areas and leaving the steeper sloped areas in a forested condition. This development approach
requires minimal site re-grading. The Plan vision is for a fairly rural type of development that is
sensitive to all aspects of the environment, including views, watercourses, environmental features, tree
preservation, and connected and continuous natural open spaces. Parkettes are to be incorporated into
the site plan as a frontage focal point for the housing unit clusters.
Proposed Amendment to Official Community Plan:
The portion of the site proposed for Eco-Cluster development is in compliance with the Official
Community Plan, except for the area designated for conservation on the east side of the site. The
applicant has applied to amend the Official Community Plan, to permit a reduction in the area of this
conservation designation. Early in the process, the applicant inquired about the rationale for
environmental significance of the large conservation area designated at the east side of the site. The
applicant noted that there was a rocky outcrop at the upper-most portion of the area, but asserted that the
land just below had no significant environmental features and most of it was less than 25% slope. Some
of the conservation designations in the Silver Valley Area Plan were not ground-truthed during the
preparation of the plan and as such, the Environmental Planner subsequently inspected the site. The
Environmental Planner was unable to identify any significant environmental features and found that most
of the area in question has an existing grade that is suitable for development (between 10 and 20%
slopes).
The rocky outcrop that was identified within the conservation designation at the highest point of the site
is an environmentally unique and sensitive feature that will remain within the conservation designation
and as mentioned above, is proposed for dedication. The existing footprint of the Nelson house that is
also located within the designated conservation area is proposed for removal from the conservation
designation in order to permit reconstruction and retain the residential use of the family housing site. A
covenant will be placed on the site requiring that the house be located where it was located previously.
The existing conservation designation located across the southern portion of the site will be increased
with the additional dedicated area that is proposed beyond the 30 metre setback required for the Cattell
Brook and ponds. The development site, less the agricultural land, has an area of 10.155 hectares and
5.833 hectares (57.4%) will be dedicated as Conservation.
De,,sities:
The applicant has proposed a density of 13 units per net hectare, which is at the top end of the 5 to 15
range set for Eco-Clusters in the Silver Valley Plan. The plan encourages a variety of housing types
within and between Eco-Clusters and the form of development proposed here is 49 single family homes
and 10 units of attached duplex style design. These 10 attached units represent the first multi-family
styled units for an Eco-cluster designated area and may be the first in Silver Valley.
Zoning Bylaw:
There are five zones proposed for the subject site: R-1 (Residential District), CD-3-98 (Comprehensive
Development), RS-ld (One Family Urban (Half Acre) Residential), a proposed new zone called RST
(Street Townhouse Residential) Zone, and A-i (Small Holding Agricultural).
The majority of the 58 lots are proposed to become R-1 (Residential District) sites. There are seven lots
which straddle the north property line and these are proposed as CD-3-98 (Comprehensive Development)
to match the zoning on the site to the north. This will permit a consolidation subdivision and
development of seven lots that will front onto 136th Avenue. Ten of the 58 lots are proposed for rezoning
to the RST (Street Townhouse Residential) zone, which is discussed below.
As discussed above, the original Nelson house site will remain within the family and as such is proposed
for subdivision into a one acre parcel. This parcel is therefore proposed for rezoning to RS-ld (One
Family Urban (Half Acre) Residential).
The portion of the sitethat is designated Agricultural Land is proposed to be rezoned to A-1 (Small
Holding Agricultural) for consistency with the Zoning Matrix outlined in the Official Community Plan.
Draft of Proposed RST (Residential Townhouse Zone):
A new zone is proposed as part of this rezoning application to permit the development of 10 duplex units.
The Silver Valley Plan encourages a variety of housing types throughout Eco-Cluster developments, but
currently Maple Ridge does not have an existing zone that could easily accommodate this type of
development. In order to accommodate and encourage a variety of housing types in Silver Valley Eco-
Clusters. as part of the ongoing implementation of the Silver Valley Area Plan, the RST (Street
Townhouse Residential Zone) was drafted and is attached, for Council consideration.
WE
The zone is intended for use in the Eco-Cluster designated areas of Silver Valley Area only, as it permits
a fairly large 223 m 2 (2400 s.f.) unit, excluding basement, either in a duplex or triplex form, which is
greater than the anticipated size of attached housing form within the urban area boundary. Although rear
lanes are encouraged in Silver Valley, the topography can make this type of development difficult and
therefore, the zone will allow for both rear lane and non-rear lane access.
The RST zone is intended to permit a "zero lot line" subdivision, which will result in each owner having
no common property between them. For such non-strata duplex proposals, an easement will be required
on the duplex property titles prior to unit construction. The easement will deal with issues relating to
shared walls and will set out the terms under which each owner will be required to cooperate.
The building design proposed for the duplexes will be secured through a Restrictive Covenant put on title
prior to subdivision of the individual units. This covenant will also require that the duplex lots cannot be
sold separately until after the duplexes have been fully constructed.
Requested Variances:
The applicants will be requesting variances to the R-1 zone for the following:
Front Setback: To be reduced from 5.5 metres to 4 metres, except for the garage, which will
remain at the 5.5 metre setback, to provide opportunity to preserve existing ground cover in the
rear gardens.
Rear Setback: To be reduced from 8 metres to 6 metres, as discussed above.
Building Height: To be increased from a maximum permitted height of 9 metres to 11 metres, to
enable a greater slope to the roof design.
Development Permits:
The Cattell Brook watercourse and ponds triggered a Watercourse Protection Development Permit,
which requires an environmental impact assessment within 50 metres of the edge of the watercourse.
The applicant has requested a reduction in the 30 metre stream setback requirements at three locations:
1) to 15 metres at the headwater of the Cattell Brook tributary; 2&3) approximately 27 metres at two
locations upsiope of Cattell Ponds. A report prepared by Golder & Associates, dated July 24, 2007,
notes that an expanded setback is proposed in various areas that will result in a "net gain of 3,360 m2 in
the amount of riparian habitat preserved". Golder has outlined the following remediation activities that
will be undertaken as part of this application:
• Removal of garbage from the area around the ponds;
• Removal of the concrete pad;
• Excavation of the area between the ponds to expand the western pond by 1300 m2;
• Re-grading the pond margins to produce a more sloping bank profile suitable for
emergent plant growth;
• Planting of emergent vegetation around the ponds; and
• Planting riparian vegetation around the perimeter of the ponds.
Through the Watercourse Protection Development Permit, the applicant will be required to provide a re-
grading and riparian planting plan, prepared by a professional. The District's Environmental Planner has
reviewed this proposal and is supportive of the environmental components of the project.
The rocky outcrop area at the top of the site that is proposed for dedication contains a significant amount
of an invasive plant species called Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius). The protection and enhancement
of natural features, such as rocky knolls, are encouraged in the Silver Valley Area Plan and therefore, the
broom is required to be removed and a plan for planting native species will be prepared to accompany the
Environmental Features Development Permit.
Advisory Design Panel:
A development permit for form and character is not required for the duplex style form of development
and therefore, this application will not be subject to Advisory Design Panel review.
Development Information Meetin2:
A development information meeting was held on the evening of March 14 th at the Yennadon Elementary
School. The applicants reported that the general reaction to the plan was very positive. The public in
attendance at the meeting had the following concerns:
• Increased traffic and its impact on road safety in the area (specifically 128 th Ave., east of 227th &
west of232fld);
• A positive comment was made on the horse trail to be constructed across the southern slopes and
the plan that it be continued through developments to the east and west;
• The clustering of homes was noted as a positive reflection of the Eco-Cluster designation
requirements in the Silver Valley Plan, along with the mix of housing types;
• The narrower road widths and stormwater management concepts similar to the Silver Ridge
development were also viewed positively by one local resident;
(1) Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
The comments provided by the Engineering Department are as follows:
• Sidewalks and equestrian trail must be provided;
• Sanitary sewer main is required from the pump station at 136th Avenue;
• Must show how upgrade to watermain for this site will integrate into the overall municipal
system in the area;
• A geotechnical review has been provided for this site;
• Ministry of Environment review is required for any works at Cattell Brook and the south portion
of the site, which is located in the North Alouette River Flood Plain;
• A six metre road dedication is required along the 132nd Avenue road frontage;
• A statutory right-of-way is required on the property to the west of this in support of the sanitary
sewer main which is to be extended from the pump station on 136 th Avenue;
• An erosion and sediment control plan for the servicing works is required in accordance with the
Watercourse Protection Bylaw;
• The refundable security amount and municipal charges will be determined after the applicant's
professional engineer provides a design for the servicing works;
• The two properties involved in this development application are to be consolidated at the
rezoning stage. The legal plan will also include the road dedication on 132 nd Avenue;
• The park land will be dedicated at the rezoning stage;
• At the subdivision stage, the south portion of the properties that are in the ALR will form an RS-
3 lot. A water connection will be required at that time, as will proof of sewage disposal and
compliance with flood plain regulations.
Parks & Leisure Services Department:
The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the subdivision of this site is
completed they will be responsible for maintaining the dedicated park areas and the street trees. In the
case of this project it is estimated that there will be an additional 59 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 $1,475.00.
Fire Department:
The Fire Department has provided the following comments:
Access:
• The current access to 132 Avenue should be maintained as secondary access/egress until the
intended secondary access/egress is constructed through to the development to the west of this
site.
Strata Portion:
• Carriage width of access lane to be a minimum of 6 metres and must be rated for a minimum of
35,000 Kg with a minimum forced of 70 P.S.I.;
• Driveways to the townhouses should be long enough to accommodate a standard sized vehicle
(not a compact car). This will alleviate some parking issues;
• Any 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 6 metres wide and 8 metres in depth;
• Carriage width to be a minimum of 6 metres (with no on-street parking permitted).
Fire Hydrants:
• Preferred location of fire hydrants is on corner lots;
• Preferred location of fire hydrants is at main entrances as well as at the T intersections;
• Private hydrants are to be lime-yellow with white caps;
• Measures are to be in place to ensure landscaping does not encroach on access and visibility and
that hydrants can be kept clear in all weather conditions.
- 10 -
e) Intergovernmental Issues:
Local Government Act:
An amendment to the Official Community Plan requires the local government to consult with any
affected parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section 882 of
the Act. The amendment required for this application, OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 6508-2007 and No.
65 12-2007, is considered to be minor in nature. It has been determined that no additional consultation
beyond existing procedures is required, including referrals to the Board of the Regional District, the
Council of an adjacent municipality, First Nations, the School District or agencies of the Federal and
Provincial Governments.
Section 8 82(3) of the Local Government Act also requires the local government consider the Financial
Plan and Waste Management Plan when adopting an OCP amendment.
The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial PlanlCapital Plan and the Waste Management Plan
of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact.
1) Environmental Implications:
The applicant has completed an arborist report on the site, which identified significant trees and also
significant tree retention areas. The site plan was prepared after completion of the arborist report and all
the trees noted for retention in the arborist report are intended for protection as shown on the attached
site plan.
To aid with rainwater infiltration at pre-development rates, the applicant has agreed that the stormwater
management principles utilized in the Silver Ridge Eco-Cluster development will also be used to guide
the stormwater management design for the subject site. The stormwater design for this site will include
two roadside swales, street trees on both sides of the street, and roof drains that will be directed into rain
gardens on each lot. However, the grades are steeper on this site and at this point, the applicant has not
determined if the roadside swales will be able to be located in the steepest areas. The ponds located at
the south end of the site will be restored for the benefit of fish and wildlife, the ponds will also be
designed to serve as stormwater storage and biofiltration ponds.
CONCLUSION:
The lot geometry presented for the proposed Eco-Cluster development is aligned with the Silver Valley
Area Plan in that the design has achieved the clustering of units with distinct boundaries, a rural
character with most lots facing a parkette or green belt, a variation in housing form, innovative
stormwater management, wildlife corridors, and the protection of environmentally sensitive areas
resulting in 40% of the site proposed as conservation area. A new zone is accompanying this application
to permit a street-front non-strata townhouse form of housing for Eco-cluster developments and the
Silver Valley area and encourage a greater variation in housing form, as envisioned within the Area Plan.
Therefore, it is recommended that this application and accompanying bylaws proceed to Council for
consideration.
