SUBJECT: Development Permit
22990 LOUGHEED HIGHWAY
November 21, 2007
DP/094/06
C of W
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A Development Permit application has been received in support of a 73 unit townhouse
development on the property located at 22990 Lougheed, north of Telosky Avenue (Appendix A).
The subject property was recently rezoned by Council to RM-4 (Multiple Family Residential) for
this development. At the same time Council approved a Development Variance Permit
(VP/094/06) to reduce the required setback from 7.5 metres to 5.0 metres from the front lot line
and 4.6 metres on the rear and inside lot lines.
This report will address the requirements of Section 8 of the Official Community Plan for a Multi-
Family Residential Development Permit for this townhouse development.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal DP/094/06 respecting property
located at 22990 Lougheed Highway.

b) Project Description:
The proposed development is a 73 unit wood-frame townhouse development consisting of
four 2 storey duplexes, four 2 1/2 storey 3-plexes, six 2 1/2 storey 4-plexes, one 2 1/2 storey 5-plex,
and four 21/2 storey 6-plexes, for a total of 19 buildings. The main entrance to the
development is from Telosky Avenue, which is enhanced with a crescent shaped landscaped
entrance feature. The duplex units are located on the Telosky Avenue frontage to provide a
transition in height and density to the single family development on Telosky Avenue. A fire
lane access from Lougheed Highway is provided and is connected to the internal pedestrian
walkways.
The buildings are grouped on the internal roadway and each unit has a 2 car garage fronting
onto the internal roadway. The main living areas of all units are on the ground floor, with
three bedrooms above. The units with frontage on the Lougheed Highway and Telosky
Avenue are each provided with direct pedestrian access to the Street through landscaped
gated entrances. The building finishes include vinyl siding and hardi-panel, cultured stone
facing on columns, painted wood trim, metal exterior doors and railings, and asphalt shingles.
Coordinating building colour schemes are provided.
-2-
Visitor parking spaces are distributed throughout the development. A children's play area
with climbing apparatus is located on the east side and an open lawn area with a seating
node is located on the west side. The site is well landscaped with additional plantings to
provide buffers between neighbouring properties. Blo-swales to provide onsite infiltration of
storm water are integrated into the landscaping and pedestrian walkways provide good
internal circulation on the site.
C) Planning Analysis:
Applications for Development Permits are assessed against the following Key Design concepts,
as follows:
New development into established areas should respect private spaces, and incorporate
local neighbourhood elements in building form, height, architectural features and
massing.
• This development respects the privacy of the adjacent buildings by thoughtful
siting of the buildings and with the provision of a variety of landscaping of
different heights. The building form and character is consistent with the
surrounding neighbourhood.
Transitional development should be used to bridge areas of low and high densities,
through means such as stepped building heights, or low rise ground oriented housing
located to the periphery of a higher density developments.
• The developer has provided transition in height and density by locating the 2
storey duplex buildings on Telosky Avenue and has used the natural slope to
advantage and has stepped the buildings down the hillside.
Large scale developments should be clustered and given architectural separation to
foster a sense of community, and improve visual attractiveness.
• The development has well integrated clusters of buildings, which front onto a
winding internal roadway and back onto well landscaped internal open spaces,
which are all connected by pedestrian walkways.
Pedestrian circulation should be encouraged with attractive streetscapes attained
through landscaping, architectural details, appropriate lighting and by directing parking
underground where possible or away from public view through screened parking
structures or surface parking located to the rear of the property.
• Well landscaped pedestrian friendly streetscapes are provided on Lougheed
Highway and Telosky Avenue, including gated arbors with low fencing, street
trees and landscaped private entrances. A well integrated pedestrian walkway
network on the site is integrated with the bio-swales. Garage doors are recessed
and face only onto the internal roadway. Building entrances are emphasized
with stone faced columns and are covered for weather protection. Pockets of
landscaping, street trees lighting, and landscape payers provide interest to the
internal roadway.

Advisory Design Panel:
This application was reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel on February 13, 2007. The
resolution from that meeting was:
"The Advisory Design Panel was in general support of the project as presented with the
following considerations: want to see project brought back to design panel for further
comment with additional thought being put into landscaping; provide more detail on general
character of streetscape; show buffering at Lougheed Highway east and west property lines;
further design development of internal street; improve pedestrian circulation; and reconsider
or further develop the play area in central island."
The application was reviewed again by the Advisory Design Panel on June 12, 2007, and the
resolution from that meeting was:
"That the Advisory Design Panel sup port the general concept as submitted and that
the following items be reviewed to address the following: functionality of the
bio-swales; and (pedestrian) circulation and landscaping."
The landscape architect revised the project to improve the coordination of the bio-swales,
pedestrian walkways and surrounding landscaping.
Environmental Implications:
The Environmental issues have been addressed through the Watercourse Protection
Development Permit.
Financial Implications:
A refundable security equivalent to 2 ½ % of the estimated value of construction has been
provided by the developer to ensure that the development, particularly the landscaping, is carried
out in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Development Permit.
There will be approximately 25 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.
-4-
CONCLUSION:
As the development proposal complies with the guidelines of the Multifamily Residential
Development Permit Area, it is recommended that DP/094/06 be given favourable
consideration.

A car wash addition to the existing service station has been proposed on the subject property.
This application is subject to the Development Permit Area Guidelines for commercial
development to regulate the form and character of the development.
The subject property is located at the southeast corner of Dewdney Trunk Road and Burnett
Street. South and east of the subject property is single family residential with commercial uses
to the north and west. The car wash addition is 4 metres in height and approximately 7 metres
from the south property line abiding to the required 6 metre rear yard setback.
C) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
These properties are subject to the guidelines applicable to Section 8.5 Commercial Development
Permit Area Guidelines of the Official Community Plan that aim to regulate the form and character of
commercial developments. This development respects the key guideline concepts as outlined in
this section.
1. Avoid conflicts with adjacent uses through sound attenuation, appropriate lighting,
landscaping, traffic calming and the transition of building massing to fit with adjacent
development.
In order to avoid conflicts with the adjacent uses and maintain a high standard of commercial
architectural design, the proposed development takes into account a series of design
considerations. The architectural design of the proposed addition is consistent with the recently
-2-
updated building and the height of the proposed addition is lower than the existing service
station. Landscaping will be added along the south property line to screen the proposed car
wash and improve the interface between the commercial use and the adjacent single family
home. Lights will be down cast in order to protect residential amenity. Various sound mitigation
measures have also been used. The mechanical works of the car wash are located the farthest
distance possible from the residential abutting uses. The doors are automatic and are not open
while the car wash is running. The car wash operates on a brushless system that is much
quieter than a roller brush type of car wash. The vacuum is located adjacent to the east property
line and away from the residential properties. In addition, there is a 4 foot wooden fence along
the south property line which will act to further reduce noise transfer.
Encourage a pedestrian scale through providing outdoor amenities, minimizing the visual
impact of parking areas, creating landmarks and visual interest along street fronts.
The existing gas bar is a landmark, balanced by both the entry drive and the exit façade of the
car wash as they peripherally address the street corner. The entrance, waiting lane and back of
the building will be screened by a hedge and trees to minimize the visual impact. Additional
landscaping, including street trees along the north and west property lines, is being added to the
site to provide visual interest.
Promote sustainable development with multimodal transportation circulation, and low
impact building design.
No pedestrian or cycling services or access are involved with the proposed car wash or site
changes.
Respect the need for private areas in mixed use development and adjacent residential
areas.
Landscaping along the east and south property lines will screen the car wash from residential
neighbours.
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 existing building scale is balanced with the new car wash as they suitably address the street
corner. The façade of the proposed addition is designed to have a low impact and to
compliment the existing service station. The car wash articulates from the main service station
elevation, the height of the addition is lower than that of the rest of the building and as such
adds variation to the building massing, and the brick finish will be matched to that of the existing
service station. In addition, the car wash is oriented to the side street.
Zoning:
The minimum front yard setback as required in the Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw for the CS-I (Service
Commercial) zone is 9 metres. A Development Variance Permit application has been received to
relax the front yard setback from 9 metres to 6 metres to accommodate the existing canopy which
-3-
was built in 1986. Zoning bylaw 3510-1985 allowed the canopy to be built a minimum of 4.5
metres from all lot lines. However, the existing canopy is currently non-conforming and needs to be
brought into compliance with the current zoning bylaw.
Advisory Design Panel:
The proposed project was reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel on October 9, 2007 and was given
general support by the group but recommended that revisions to the proposal be submitted to
Planning staff to address the following:
• Addition of street trees along Dewdney Trunk Road
• Signage for a "no idle" policy in the car wash lineup
Following this meeting, project plans were revised as follows:
• The landscape drawing proposes two additional Columnar Red Maple trees on Dewdney
Trunk Road. The overhead wires and requirements for clear view paths require that these
trees be of a smaller species as proposed.
• The proposed site plan indicates the location of a "no idle" sign at the stacking area for the
car wash.
Intergovernmental Issues:
A site profile was received for the subject property which indicated that there are currently 3
underground gasoline storage tanks on site. In accordance with the Environmental Management
Act and the Contaminated Sites Regulation the site profile was forwarded to the Ministry of
Environment. In accordance with section 7(1) of the Contaminated Sites Regulation the applicant
was required to complete a detailed site investigation for the subject site. This work was completed
and submitted to the Ministry of Environment by Husky Oil Limited on September 13, 2007. The
Ministry of Environment is now satisfied with the information received.
Environmental Implications:
The applicant will be required to complete an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan Checklist as a
condition of Building Permit.
) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The project proposal has taken many measures to reduce any adverse impact upon the adjacent
residential properties and the streetfront landscaping upgrades will enhance the public space. In
addition, the addition of a car wash use will be a benefit to the local community.
h) Financial Implications:
A refundable security in the amount of 2.5% of the total construction costs will be required with
this Development Permit. Based on an estimated construction value of $925,000.00 the
security will be $23,125.00.
4
There will be 6 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.
I) Alternatives:
Under Section 919.1 of the Local Government Act and Section 8.1 of the Official Community Plan
the property has been designated a Development Permit Area with special requirements for
commercial development. Council approval is required for this Development Permit Area prior to a
Building Permit being issued. If Council were to refuse to issue the accompanying Development
Variance Permit, the existing canopy would remain with a non-conforming setback.
CONCLUSION:
As the proposed development conforms to the CS-i. (Service Commercial) zone and complies with
the guidelines of Commercial Development Permit Areas, it is recommended that DP/063/07 &
VP/079/06 be given favourable consideration by Council.

SUBJECT: Local Area Service - 130 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On December 6, 2006, a delegation appeared before Council requesting support for a Local Area
Service (LAS) to construct approximately 210 meters of 130 Avenue west of Mill Street. Council
agreed to contribute to the LAS on the same basis as all of the other benefiting parcels and also
confirmed minimum road construction standards.
A LAS petition was prepared and circulated on May 8, 2007 and is under consideration by the
residents.
On September 10, 2007, a delegation appeared before the Committee of the Whole. In response to
this delegation, the Committee directed staff to provide a report that included an assessment of
historical policies in relation to present day applications.
This report provides a summary of bylaws, policies and past initiatives and provides comments
regarding the September 10 request. The following recommendations are offered for Council
consideration.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
THAT the formal petition for a Local Area Service for road improvements on 130 Avenue west of Mill
Street be received, noting that, if the Local Area Service petition is not sufficient, that
Staff be directed to:
prepare a policy that addresses the level of cost sharing, guidelines and priority
considerations for a program to improve private driveways constructed on dedicated
municipal roads
prepare projects for the capital works program that would target locations and schedule and
allocate, on an appropriate priority basis, funds for the improvement of private driveways
constructed on dedicated municipal roads

DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
On December 6, 2006, a delegation appeared before Council requesting support for a LAS to
construct approximately 210 meters of 130 Avenue west of Mill Street. The delegation also
requested District participation in sharing the construction costs and sought a reduction in
road standards to reduce the overall cost of the project. Staff were asked to prepare a report
addressing these requests and on February 13, 2007, Council considered a report (see
attached Appendix 1) and resolved that:
Staff be directed to work with the property owners of 130 Avenue to advance a LAS;
and
The District contribute to the proposed LAS on 130 Avenue on the same basis as all
of the other benefiting parcels; and further
The proposed road be built to the minimum rural local road standard for Silver Valley.
On the basis of the above noted criteria, a LAS petition was prepared and circulated on May
8, 2007. Owner reaction to the petition has not been provided to date, although we
understand that the required majority have not yet signed the petition. During the circulation
of this petition, discussion has taken place with residents regarding several alternatives to
the LAS and costs associated with these alternatives.
Included in this discussion was a request for an alternative to the LAS in the form of a
Highway Use Permit to allow the paving of this driveway rather than the reconstruction and
paving to municipal standards contemplated by the LAS. The residents reviewed the terms
and conditions of the highway use permit and have concerns with the ongoing general
liability insurance requirements of the permit.
On September 10, 2007, a delegation appeared before the Committee of the Whole to
request that either:
The District take over the full maintenance of the road as either a gravel or paved
road;
Staff be directed to continue to work with the residents to resolve the issues of
concern regarding the Highway Use Permit; or
Staff be directed to increase the District contribution to the LAS.
After considering the resident's requests, the Committee of the Whole directed staff to
provide a report on the paving and maintenance issue on 130 Avenue including an
assessment of historical policies in relation to present day applications.
Bylaws. Policies & Programs
Official Community Plan Bylaw 6425-2006
This section of 130 Avenue is located within the Silver Valley area (Horse Hamlet). This
hamlet is designated for 240 units and is focussed on an equestrian theme. Lands along
this section of 130 Avenue are designated Low Density Urban Residential and Conservation
(see attached Appendix 2). An equestrian trail begins at an east-west equestrian trail along
Hennipen Creek and leads in a north-east direction along Millionaire Creek.
Land on the north side of 130 Avenue west of the 240 Street alignment has been dedicated
as Park to provide protection for a tributary to Millionaire Creek. A detention facility has been
constructed on a portion of the park to treat storm water from lands to the north.
Portions of 240 Street and 130 Avenue (from 240 Street east to Mill Street) were included
as an interim trail in the previous Official Community Plan. According to local residents, the
public are using a trail down the 240 Street right-of-way to reach this interim trail and are
walking along the private driveway to reach Mill Street.
Maple Ridge Highway Allowance Construction Control Bylaw 2656-1979 (as amended).
This bylaw provides a means by which owners of property adjacent to an undeveloped right-
of-way may apply to develop the right-of-way in order to achieve physical access to their
property. The bylaw was adopted in April 1979 and was last amended in 1985 (see attached
Appendix 3).
The bylaw outlines the general provisions, procedures and payments required to develop the
road. The road must be built to District standards and the construction can be performed by
the District or by the owner. The owner pays for all design and construction costs for the
road.
Policy Directive - Supply of Gravel
In June 1980 Council adopted a resolution that stated that "No consideration will be given in
the future by Council to provide gravel to roads that are not maintained by the District, but
are being used by taxpayers, and those owners affected will be responsible to ensure that
the gravel is properly spread." The directive also stated that "The District will continue to
uphold its policy to not maintain said roads until such time as they have been built to proper
Municipal Standards."
Highway Use Permits and Construction on Road Rights-of-Way
For a number of years, Highway Use Permits have -been issued to owners who have asked to
construct works on Municipal streets. The works have ranged from small temporary
structures to the construction of permanent driveways. The Highway Use Permit requires
owners to insure for public liability, indemnify the District, maintain the roadway, and for
permanent driveways, install signage and post and maintain signs informing the public that
the District is not maintaining the driveway.
The Roads Superintendent estimates that the District has approximately 50 substandard
driveways that the District does not maintain. These driveways were constructed by adjacent
residents to provide access to their properties and were not built to any municipal standard.
The private driveway constructed on the portion of 130 Avenue west of Mill Street is one of
these substandard roads. This driveway is considered a private road within a 20 meter road
dedication providing access to 3 properties. There is no formal agreement in place regarding
maintenance or liability of the driveway.
The District's position and practice has been consistent over the years that unless the roads
are improved to an acceptable municipal road standard by owners under the terms and
conditions of the Highway Allowance Construction Control Bylaw, the District does not
maintain these driveways.
In the early 1980s, the District installed information signs on these driveways to inform
present or prospective owners that the District did not maintain these private driveways. The
rationale for this activity was reinforced by a solicitor's opinion received in early 1995. In this
opinion, the solicitor confirmed that:
owners of land abutting a dedicated road right-of way have an absolute right to
access the right-of-way at all points along the right-of-way;
if an owner builds a structure connecting his land to the right-of-way and this
structure is located in whole or in part on the right-of-way, the obligation to maintain,
repair or replace the structure is not conferred to the District;
when the District has been made aware of a particular danger or abnormal risk
caused by a structure on a road right-of-way, the District is obliged to take some
action to warn or to prevent injury or damage. These actions could include the
posting of signs explaining the risk, load limits and even closure of the access.
As a result of the above comments regarding structures that could pose a danger to the
public or to emergency responders, a bridge on this section of 130 Avenue was
reconstructed by the District in 2005 to address life safety concerns raised by the Fire
Department regarding the provision of adequate emergency access to homes on 130 Avenue
west of the bridge.
Gravel Road Paving Program
The District initiated a paving program (by local improvement) in the 1980's to encourage the
paving of a number of gravel roads that were constructed to District standards. All gravel
roads were included in the program except those that were identified for imminent
redevelopment or for the future installation of District infrastructure. The program was
successful and resulted in the improvement of approximately 18 of the remaining 25 gravel
roads. The improved roads are now maintained by the District. Residents involved in these
local improvement programs have paid considerable monies or paid an LIP levy for 15 years.
In those cases where residents defeated the local improvement petition, paving did not take
place and dust control was, as a District operational practice, eliminated.
In light of this past program, the District should exercise caution in supporting any approach
to gravel road improvement today that could be considered as unfair by residents that have
participated in the previous programs.
It should be noted that 130 Avenue west of Mill Street was not included in this program since
the gravel road was not constructed to District standards.
b) Desired Outcomes:
Construction of 130 Avenue
Residents living along this road have concerns regarding the condition and safety of this
private driveway and wish to share in the cost of improving this driveway to a rural local
standard. There are a number of options that are currently available to achieve this
improvement. These include:
Construction of the Road by Local Area Service
Construction of the Road by Highway Allowance Construction Control Bylaw
Road Improvement in Support of Future Development
Option 1. - Construction of the Road by Local Area Service
Construction could take place under the provisions of a Local Area Service. The road must
be built to District standards and the cost for construction is shared between all owners
benefiting from this service, including the District. For this section of 130 Avenue, the
standard would be the minimum rural local road standard for Silver Valley.
This approach offers the benefit of sharing in the costs associated with road improvements
under the terms and condition of the Highway Allowance Construction Control Bylaw with the
added benefit of paying for the improvement over 15 years. This option is currently under
consideration by the residents but we understand that the required majority have not yet
signed the petition.
Option 2 - Construction of the Road by Highway Allowance Construction Control Bylaw
Construction could take place under the provisions of the "Maple Ridge Highway Allowance
Construction Control Bylaw." The road must be built to District standards specified in the
bylaw and the cost for construction is shared between those owners requesting the
construction. For this section of 130 Avenue, the standard would be the minimum rural local
road standard for Silver Valley.
This approach is often cost prohibitive and offers no opportunity for possible payback by
other owners that did not contribute to the original construction. Considering the cost
concerns raised during consideration of the LAS, it is unlikely that this option will achieve the
desired result.
Option 3 - Road Improvement in Support of Development
This option would see the road constructed in support of development along this portion of
130 Avenue. As noted earlier, lands in this area are designated as low density urban
residential. As development occurs along this road, the road would be constructed by the
developer to support the development.
Recognizing the limited development potential of the lands in this area along with the need
for the supporting sanitary sewer extension to serve the Horse Hamlet community, it is
unlikely that this option would achieve road construction in the near future.
ImDrovements to the Present Driveway
If the above-noted options cannot be achieved, the residents have considered paving to
improve the condition of the driveway. As noted previously, Highway Use Permits have been
issued to owners who have asked to construct works on Municipal streets. The Permit
requires owners to insure for public liability, indemnify the District, maintain the roadway,
install signage and post and maintain signs informing the public using the highway that the
District is not maintaining the road. The owners have expressed concerns regarding clauses
within the Permit relating to ongoing liability insurance, indemnification and construction
standards and have stated that this is not their preferred option.
C) Strategic Alignment:
Financial Management is a strategic focus area of the Corporate Strategic Plan and
encourages the development of multi-year financial plans that address immediate needs as
well as longer-term financial sustainability. The business planning framework is used to
structure decision making. The recommendations in this report respect the capital works
planning program as a part of the business planning cycle and provide a framework for the
long term goal of converting existing private driveways located on municipal road rights-of-
way to constructed municipal roads
A Safe and Liveable Community is another strategic focus area of the Corporate Strategic
Plan. Recognizing that these driveways are located on dedicated road rights-of-way but are
not constructed to District standards, there is a certain level of liability that is transferred to
the District, particularly if the driveway becomes unsafe. Although the District has no
obligation to construct, maintain or repair private structures or private driveways located on
dedicated roads, if the condition of these works poses an unreasonable risk to users or
impedes emergency access and the District is made aware of the condition of these works,
some action by the District is warranted.
Smart Managed Growth is also one of the strategic focus areas of the Corporate Strategic
Plan and encourages the protection and management of the existing municipal infrastructure
through the preparation of appropriate plans to ensure development and maintenance of
roads. The recommendations in this report will provide a long term plan to convert these
driveways to municipal roads.
CONCLUSION:
In summary, none of the above noted options are acceptable to the residents. Instead, the
residents, in a letter to Mayor and Council dated September 2, 2007, have asked Council to, in their
preferred order:
direct staff to revise the LAS to increase the District contribution
direct staff to work with the residents to resolve residents concerns regarding clauses
within the Highway Use Permit and include a District contribution to the paving costs
take over full maintenance of the road as either a gravel or paved road.
In response to these requests, staff recommend that:
Item 3 not be considered. Conistent with past practice, staff do not recommend that
the District assume the responsibility for the maintenance of driveways constructed
within dedicated road allowances. Further, improvement to this portion of 130 Avenue is
not currently within the capital works program. The work contemplated in item 3 would
need to be supported by and prioritized within the context of all road construction within
the capital works program.
Item 2 not be considered. The reduction in security and the elimination of
indemnification clauses in the Highway Use Permit are not recommended. Further, the
contribution to a paving program for what would continue to be a private driveway should
not be considered.
However, staff recommend that item 1 be considered within the context of a new capital program
initiative. This request is preferred by the residents and may achieve an equitable and consistent
resolution to this issue. This approach offers the benefit of sharing in the costs associated with road
improvements with both benefiting owners and the District under the terms and conditions of an
agreement with the owners paying their share of the LAS levies over time. The District would share
in the costs of the improvements on a program basis with priority and funding allocation
considerations at the District's discretion.
In order to implement a program that would be equitable to all District residents, it is recommended
that Council direct staff to prepare the necessary capital program projects that would identify funds
for the improvement of private driveways presently constructed on dedicated municipal road rights-
of-way. Once this funding has been secured, consideration of a petition for Local Area Service or a
Local Area Service on Council initiative - subject to petition against could be reviewed on a priority
basis. The level of cost sharing, guidelines for the program and priority considerations would be
established by policy which could then be applied consistently as funds are available and in
response to community interest.

SUBJECT: Local Area Services - Paving of Gravel Road - 130 Avenue
December 2006 delegation
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A request for a Local Area Service (LAS) has been received to upgrade approximately 210 metres
of 130 Avenue between 239B Street and Mill Street. Specifically, the request is to pave this
section of currently unmaintained municipal road allowance. The District owns a property
identified as park along this road allowance. The initial review of the request concluded that the
LAS is supportable.
A delegation from the property owners of the December 4, 2006 Committee of the Whole
requested Council support for the LAS. In addition, the owners requested that the cost for the
portion of the proposed improvements fronting municipal property be absorbed by the District.
This report recommends that the District contribute on the same basis as all the other benefiting
parcels. The owners also requested that the road standard be significantly reduced to 4 metres.
This reduced standard is not recommended.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT staff be directed to work with the property owners of 130 Avenue to advance a Local
Area Service; and
THAT the District contribute to the proposed LAS on 130 Avenue on the same basis as all
of the other benefiting parcels; and further
THAT the proposed road be built to the minimum rural local road standard for Silver
Valley.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
A Local Area Service is a municipal service that is paid for in whole or in part by a local
service tax under section 216 of the Community Charter. The only services that may be
provided as Local Area Services are services that the Council considers provide particular
benefit to part of the municipality. Part of the costs of a Local Area Service may be
recovered by means of any other source of municipal revenue.
A request for a Local Area Service (LAS) has been received and is under review. The
LAS proposes the upgrading (paving) of approximately 210 metres of 130 Avenue
between 239B Street and Mill Street (see Figure 1). Seven parcels front on this road
se2ment and one of these is owned by the District and used as a passive park. The road is
not constructed to current standards and is maintained by the residents.
A delegation to the Committee of the Whole meeting on December 4, 2006 representing
the other six owners requested clarification regarding the District contribution to the costs
of this project. The delegation also requested consideration of a reduced standard for the
road.
Figure 1 - Location of LAS inquiry
The project concept is to pave the existing gravel road on 130 Avenue from Mill Street to
23930 130 Avenue as shown in Figure 1. Topographic constraints limit further extension
of this road to 239B Street.
District contribution
This road will improve access to the District's land and will also improve resident and
emergency vehicle access to all benefiting parcels. It is therefore recommended that the
District contribute to this project on the same basis as all of the other benefiting parcels.
Standard of construction
Once the road is completed, the operation, maintenance and long term replacement of this
road will be the responsibility of the municipality. As a result, the current practice for
Maple Ridge is that LAS projects are developed and constructed based on the District's
standard of the day.
The current standard for local roads in Silver Valley is a six metre road as shown in
Figure 2.
RURAL LOCAL ROAD
Figure 2 - Rural local road (Maple Ridge OCP, 2006)
The delegation on December 4, 2006 presented a number of opinions to support their
request for a reduced road standard. These include:
o since the bridge is only 4 in wide, the road should not be wider;
o currently, there is no street lighting, so it would be better not to create a pinch-
point at the bridge, lest someone hits the bridge abutment;
o a narrower road will result in less non-local traffic and encourage slower speeds;
and
o traffic will likely be light always since it is doubtful that more homes will be built
in the future." Hence, "there is no need to incur the additional expense.
The recommended standard for this road is a rural local road with a pavement width of 6
metres, a gravel shoulder and dtainage swales. This standard is the minimum that should
be considered for this road and is the minimum standard for any road within the District.
Roads built to this standard will support local passenger vehicle traffic as well as delivery
and emergency vehicle traffic.
In general, road standards are created to provide acceptable servicing to a neighbourhood
for a variety of different users. Our current standards reflect recognized national
standards, promote safe use of our streets and reduce potential liability. Construction of
works of a reduced standard becomes an operational liability to the District and the
expense of upgrading the sub-standard works rests on the District in the years to follow.
In addition, the acceptance of a reduced standard would set a precedent for other projects
such as street lights, water mains and drainage and sewage collection systems.
The accepted practice is that works and services provided as 'Local Area Services'
should conform to the municipal design standards and construction specifications of the
day. Consequences of varying from this practice include future liability from either
occurrence of an accident or having to expend municipal funds to upgrade to the
standard.
Desired Outcome:
To provide an analysis and response to Council regarding a request by a delegation.
Strategic Alignment:
The Corporate Strategic Plan directs that the District protect and manage existing
municipal infrastructure through the preparation of appropriate plans to ensure
development, maintenance and renewal of infrastructure including roads; sidewalks;
water; sewer and stormwater systems. As such, services should meet the standard of the
day.
Citizen/Customer Implications:
The delegation has expressly stated that "if a four meter width road paving is ultimately
not supported, it questionable whether all of the undersigned will remain in support of the
paving." Ultimately, the residents have to weigh their options using a number of factors.
However, the costs will be shared in part by the District's contribution as a benefiting
property and the property owners have the option to finance their payments over a
number of years.
Financial Plan Implications:
Approval by Council for a LAS (including funding within the Financial Plan) is required
before any project proceeds. The preliminary estimate for the paving is $75,000 with the
District's share being approximately $15,000. The District's share may be funded from
local improvement reserves or other sources and will be considered at the time of
submission to Council.
CONCLUSIONS:
Requests for clarification and relaxation of standards have been made to Council. Staff have
reviewed the requests and this report provides an analysis and recommendations.

Excess Capacity/Extended Services Agreement LC 124/07
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A developer has subdivided land at Kanaka Way and 234A Street. Part of the subdivision servicing
is considered to be excess or extended servicing in accordance with the Local Government Act. The
extended servicing benefits adjacent properties. Latecomer Agreement LC 124/07 provides the
municipality's assessment of the attribution of the costs of the excess or extended servicing to the
benefiting lands.
RECOMMENDATION:
That with respect to the subdivision of lands involved in subdivision SD 17/05 located at Kanaka
Way and 234A Street, be it resolved:
That the cost to provide the excess or extended services are, in whole or in part, excessive
to the municipality and that the cost to provide these services shall be paid by the owners
of the land being subdivided, and
That Latecomer Charges be imposed for such excess or extended services on the parcels
and in the amounts as set out in the staff report dated November 29, 2007; and further
That the Mayor and Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Excess Capacity
Latecomer Agreement LC 124/07 vith the subdivider of the said lands.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
The attached map identifies the lands which are involved in the subdivision and those which will
benefit from the excess or extended services. The cost breakdown for each excess or extended
service is shown on attached Schedule A.
1104
In addition, a copy of Excess Capacity Latecomer Agreement LC 124/07 is also attached for
information purposes.
b) Strategic Alignment:
Administration of excess or extended services legislation complies with the Smart Managed Growth
element of the Corporate Strategic Plan. The administration procedure supports the requirement for
a developer to construct municipal infrastructure in support of land development and recognizes
that the infrastructure may provide benefit to other land.
C) Policy Implications:
Part 26, Division 11, of the Local Government Act provides that where a developer pays all or part of
the cost of excess or extended services, the municipality shall determine the proportion of the cost
of the seryice which constitutes excess or extended service and determine the proportion of the cost
of the service to be attributed to parcels of land which the municipality considers will benefit from
the service. Latecomer Agreement LC 124/07 will provide such determination for Subdivision SD
17/05.
CONCLUSION:
A developer has provided certain services in support of Subdivision SD 17/05. Some of the services
benefit adjacent lands therefore, it is appropriate to impose Latecomer Charges on the benefitting
lands. Latecomer Agreement LC 124/07 summarizes the municipality's determination of
benefiting lands and cost attribution and also establishes the term over which such Latecomer
Charges will be applied.

SUBJECT: Business License Amending Bylaw # 6503-2007
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The District of Maple Ridge Business License Bylaw # 6333-2005 has been amended to introduce a
number of house keeping items and increase the business license fees charged to the rental
dwelling unit business category. The current business license fee for the rental dwelling unit
business category is $20.00 per dwelling unit with a minimum license fee of $110.00 and a 50%
reduction to the business license fee on completion of the Crime Fee Multi Housing certification
program. The amended bylaw proposes an increase in the fees to $40.00 per unit with a 75%
reduction to the business license fee on completion of the Crime Free Multi Housing certification
program. For businesses which have attained Crime Free Multi Housing certification the net increase
to the current business license fee will be zero.
Council will recall a presentation on the Crime Free Multi Housing Program. The program is direct
and solution oriented. It is a crime prevention initiative designed specifically to help apartment
owners, managers, residents, police, bylaw enforcement officers and other agencies work together to
keep illegal and nuisance activity off rental properties. One means of encouraging property owners to
complete the program is through a reduction in the business license fees. A poll of other municipal
business license fees for rental dwelling units indicated the following:
- Pitt Meadows $6.50 per unit with no reduction for crime free multi housing
- Port Moody $12.00 per unit with no reduction for crime free multi housing
- Port Coquitlam $25.00 per unit with no reduction for crime free multi housing
- North Vancouver $26.00 per unit with no reduction for crime free multi housing
- Coquitlam $33.00 per unit with no reduction for crime free mUlti housing
- Surrey $40.00 per unit with no reduction for crime free multi housing
- New Westminster $42.00 per unit with a 10% reduction for crime free multi housing
- Vancouver $55.00 per unit with no reduction for crime free multi housing
Currently, there are 10 multiple dwelling unit complexes which have completed the Crime Free Multi
Housing certification program. There are approximately 50 complexes which would qualify for the
Crime Free Multi Housing certification program. By providing a significant reduction in the business
license fee, it is anticipated that many more complexes will become certified. Certified buildings have
resulted in less calls for service for criminal and nuisance activity and provide a safer environment
for tenants.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Maple Ridge Business License Amending Bylaw No. 6503-2007 be read a first and second time
and that the Rules of Order be waived and Maple Ridge Business License Amending Bylaw No.
6503-2007 be read a third time.

CPR Holiday Train - Friends In Need Food Bank
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A request has been received from the Friends In Need Food Bank to use municipal streets for the
CPR Holiday Train event on Tuesday, December 18, 2007.
Authorization from Council is required in accordance with the "Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic By-
law 3136-1982" to allow the event to occur in Maple Ridge.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT use of municipal streets be authorized for the CPR Holiday Train event on Tuesday
December 18, 2007, provided the conditions outlined in Schedule 'A' attached to the staff report
dated November 21, 2007 are met.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
The Friends In Need Food Bank is requesting permission to use municipal streets on
Tuesday December 18, 2007, for their CPR Holiday Train event. The event is a food donation
presentation from the CPR Holiday Train to the Friends In Need Food Bank. The event will
take place on River Road and would require road closure on River Road, from 223 Street to
the Haney By-pass. The detour would re-route traffic to 223 Street and Callaghan Avenue
onto the Haney By-pass. The road closure is scheduled from 7:15 PM to 9:30 PM. A map
showing the location is attached.
Strategic Plan:
Permitting of Maple Ridge street events promotes community development and often
highlights Maple Ridges natural and built features.
C) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Permission to use municipal streets may cause some delays and inconveniences to other
road users. However, traffic control will be provided by the event organizers.
1106
In addition, the organizers will be distributing an information letter to affected businesses
and residents.
Interdepartmental 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 (transit service).
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.
Policy Implications:
Permission to use municipal streets is grantable under the Districts policy practices.
Alternatives:
The District could refuse to permit the event to occur. In this event, the organizer would
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. Permission is requested for the annual CPR Holiday Train event - Friends In Need
Food Bank and conditions of Schedule 'A' are attached.

Development Cost Charges Imposition Bylaw No. 6462-2007
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This bylaw amends our Development Cost Charges so that they are consistent with the growth
management plan outlined in our Official Community Plan and our Financial Plan.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Maple Ridge Development Cost Imposition Charge Bylaw No. 6462-2007 be read a first, second
and third time, and
That staff be instructed to forward Bylaw No. 6462-2007 to the Inspector of Municipalities for
approval.
DISCUSSION:
As our community grows, there is an increasing demand for a wide range of infrastructure. Authority
exists to recover development related costs for roads, sewers, drainage, water and parkiand through
Development Costs Charges (DCC5). DCCs allow us to apportion the costs of certain types of
infrastructure amongst land developers. Existing legislation does not allow us to collect DCCs for
many other types of infrastructure, notably public safety buildings, recreation facilities and libraries.
The DCC program, levies & bylaw are the outcome of a complex model involving the planning and
costing of future infrastructure projects, and projecting of future development activity from the
growth management plan in the OCP. The assumptions used in these models are amended as
required to keep pace with changes to the underlying plans.
a) Background Context:
Our current DCC Bylaw No. 6415-2006 was adopted on October 10th, 2006 to reflect applicable
construction costs and land values. In December 2006, Council adopted a Financial Plan and in
doing so, endorsed the use of debt to advance certain capital projects. Staff was subsequently
directed to update the DCC Bylaw to make it consistent with the growth management plan
outlined in the OCP and the Financial Plan.
Bylaw Considerations and Methodology Changes
Development cost charges are funds collected at the time of subdivision or issuance of a
building permit to assist the municipality in the provision of infrastructure and open space
1131
requirements required in support of development. The bylaw must be consistent with the Official
Community Plan and the Financial Plan. The recommended bylaw addresses inflationary costs
(construction and land), scope changes and area changes. Appropriate text changes have also
been made.
The growth management strategy of the Official Community Plan is a key element in the
methodology considerations in that it outlines future population projections, land use
designations and targets to build out of the plan. The areas designated in the growth
management plan for development or redevelopment are identified in this bylaw as the Growth,
In-fill, Town Centre Commercial and Rural Areas. Within each of these areas, the amount of
residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional development potential is calculated as is the
estimated costs for providing the infrastructure. The associated costs are then apportioned to
ensure that the cost burden is distributed between existing and proposed development.
In addition, municipal assist factors are applied to each service component to reflect the
municipality's financial contribution (funding assistance). Based on an assessment of all
pertinent considerations, development cost charge levies are calculated for the various types of
development in each of the areas and form a part of the bylaw.
During the bylaw development process, consideration was given to introducing a levy for
intensive agricultural development. This levy would have implemented Water and Road related
DCC5 against large scale greenhouse operations. In its review of the DCC rates, Council directed
that the agricultural DCC levy be taken out of the bylaw, and that the matter be referred to the
Agricultural Advisory Committee (MC). As such, the proposed bylaw does not include a DCC levy
for intensive agricultural development.
DCC Reserve Implications
Part of the DCC modeling process involved developing a cash flow projection for each component
(roads, sewers, drainage, water and parkland) of the DCC Reserve based on growth projections
in the OCP and the infrastructure projects needed to support that growth. The purpose of this
phase of the modeling process was to evaluate the health of the reserve over the five year
financial planning horizon and to determine if or when financing options, such as borrowing,
would be needed in order to address growth related infrastructure needs in a timely manner.
The results of that analysis indicate that if the projects scheduled for construction in the next five
years are completed as planned, the expenditures cannot be supported from the DCC Reserve
without incurring debt. The component facing the most immediate pressure is highways,
followed by sewer, water and parkland. Our projections indicate that we will have to borrow for
highways by the end of second year of our financial plan. The attached schedule (Schedule A"
Cash Flow Projection) provides additional detail and indicates the years in which we would need
to contemplate borrowing for each component.
Borrowing Issues
As discussed with Council previously, debt financing can be a useful tool to strategically advance
capital projects. The attached schedule (Schedule 'B" Cash Flow Projection with Debt Financing)
demonstrates how borrowing would allow us to finance growth related infrastructure projects
using DCCs as the source of funding for debt payments. All borrowings will require the assent of
the electorate.
To ensure that developers pay for the cost associated with specific projects, there is a desire to
include the interest cost of financing these projects in the DCC rates. The Inspector of
Municipalities will only consider approving the inclusion of interest costs in exceptional
circumstances, which are fairly narrowly prescribed.
Prior to including the cost of interest in the DCC rates, we must demonstrate to the Inspector of
Municipalities that the reserve fund for the works in question is in a negative cash flow position
and that borrowing is required. Due to this condition, the cost of interest associated with
borrowing is not reflected in this DCC bylaw. Interest components of several projects will be
considered for inclusion in a future DCC bylaw once the reserve demonstrates a lack of funds.
Borrowing for DCC projects can occur regardless of whether or not the associated interest cost is
included in the DCC rates. If the cost of interest was not included in the DCC rates, other funding
sources would need to cover the cost which may impact our ability to fund other initiatives either
operating or capital.
b) Desired Outcome:
A DCC Bylaw that is consistent with the Official Community Plan and the Financial Plan to ensure
that DCC rates are reflective of the costs of future development.
C) Developer/Customer Implications:
The bylaw establishes new development cost charge levies for all land use types in the Growth,
In-fill and Rural Areas and Town Centre Commercial Areas. The attachedSchedule NC" shows
how these proposed levies compare with the levies currently in effect. and Schedule "D" provides
an indication of how a selection of the proposed levies compare with what other communities
charge.
Staff have undertaken a public/stakeholder process consistent with the Ministry of Community
Services DCC Best Practices Guide. At the September 20th Builders' Forum a presentation was
made to inform the development community about upcoming changes to the DCC methodology
and rates and on November 15th a Public Open House was held at Municipal Hall. On both
occasions attendees had the opportunity to comment on the proposed changes and were
advised who to contact if they had further questions or comments.
Grace periods and in-stream applications are important policy issues to be considered when
levies are amended. Section 943 of the Local Government Act provides some protection to the
development community for in-stream subdivision applications for a period of 12 months after a
new bylaw is adopted. For that period the levies of the previous bylaw operate. No such
legislative protection is in place for building related activity, though Council may authorize a
grace period prior to adopting a new bylaw. When our current DCC Bylaw No. 6415-2006 was
adopted a one month grace period was applied. Council will have an opportunity to consider
authorizing a grace period for DCC Bylaw No. 6462-2007 prior to final reading.
Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The bylaw is consistent with the District's Financial Sustainability Policies. Our Financial Plan
Bylaw will also be updated as part of the 2008-2012 Business Planning deliberations and we will
make sure it is consistent with this DCC Bylaw.
Policy Implications:
The capital works program is the corporate mechanism for identifying and scheduling capital
projects consistent with growth strategies, the Official Community Plan and the Financial Plan
Bylaw. The Ministry of Community Services publication entitled Development Cost Charge Best
Practices Guide (Edition 3) guides the preparation of bylaws based on best practices guidelines,
local government policy and current information.
f) Alternatives:
The attached bylaw has been prepared in response to Council direction of December 4th, 2006
and is consistent with both the OCP and the Financial Plan, as amended. These consistencies
are required to obtain bylaw approval from the Inspector of Municipalities.
CONCLUSIONS:
In November of 2006 Council adopted a new OCP. This represented the first major policy review of
the OCP since 1996 and necessitated a major amendment of the DCC Bylaw to ensure that growth
related infrastructure plans were consistent with the growth management plans outlined in the OCP.
The attached bylaw achieves this consistency. Opportunities for stakeholders to comment on the
proposed bylaw were provided on two occasions; at the Builders Forum on September 20th and at a
Public Open House on November 15th. Giving Bylaw No. 6462-2007 the first three readings and
forwarding it to the Inspector of Municipalities are the next steps required to ensure that we can
meet our community's growth related infrastructure needs.

CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE
Bylaw No. 6462-2007
A Bylaw to Impose Development Cost Charges
WHEREAS Council has considered future land use patterns and development, the phasing of works
and services and provision of parkland described in the Official Community Plan,
AND WHEREAS Council does not consider the charges imposed by this bylaw:
Are excessive in relation to the capital cost of prevailing standards of service;
Will deter development, or
Will discourage the construction of reasonably priced housing or the provision of reasonably
priced serviced land in the District;
NOW THEREFORE, the Council of the Corporation of the District of Maple Ridge enacts as follows:

TO: His Worship Mayor Gordon Robson DATE. November 29, 2007
and Members of Council
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Council Workshop
SUBJECT: Financial Plan Bylaw No. 6531-2007
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The 2008-2012 Business Plans and an overview of the financial plan were presented to Council at
public meetings held on November 19 and November 26. Business Plan updates from all areas
including the capital program and the November 19, 2007 staff report titled 2008-2012 Financial
Plan Overview were also provided. Council directed that the financial plan bylaw be brought forward
incorporating the recommendations outlined in the November 19, 2007 staff report. The attached
Bylaw is in line with that direction.
There are several new requirements for 2008 in the Community Charter for the Financial Plan Bylaw,
including: disclosure of the proportions of revenue proposed to come from various funding sources;
the distribution of property taxes among property classes; and the use of permissive tax exemptions.
The attached bylaw includes this information.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Bylaw No. 6531-2007 be given first, second and third reading.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context
The 2008-2012 Financial Plan was presented to Council at public meetings held on
November 19 and 26, 2007. Business Plan updates from all areas were also provided. The
financial plan bylaw incorporates the following direction from Council.
• property tax increase of 4% in 2008-2012, which includes 1% for infrastructure
sustainability and 3% for general purposes,
• fire department levy of $600,000 plus growth each year for 2008-2011; increase is
less in 2012
• water user fee increase of 9% per year, sewer user fee increase of 5% per year and
recycling rates increase of 3% per year.
In last year's financial plan, Council adopted an aggressive capital program and this plan
builds on that direction. The 2008-2012 financial plan includes a capital program of nearly
$190 million which is nearly double the amount in last year's plan, and relies heavily on
funding from senior governments and some borrowings.
1132
We have about $1 billion invested in our infrastructure and it is important that we look after
it properly. This financial plan begins to set aside dedicated money for sustaining our
infrastructure sustainable. As well, we are a growing community and along with that growth
comes pressure on our existing services. This financial plan provides funding to help meet
growth related demands. The funding for growth and for infrastructure sustainability are in
line with Council's Financial Sustainability Policies.
b) Desired Outcome:
A Financial Plan that accurately reflects the planned expenditures and methods of funding
and is consistent with corporate strategic plans, policies and Council direction.
C) Strategic Alignment
All departments updated their Business Plans which were prepared using the Business
Planning Guidelines 11th Edition. These guidelines are reviewed and amended annually in
consultation with Council. The Financial Plan reflects Council's Strategic Financial
Sustainability Policies and Infrastructure Funding Strategy.
Citizen/Customer Implications:
The business plans have far reaching citizen and customer implications. The Financial Plan
reflects the financial impact of the business plans. Property tax revenue and user fees are
planned to increase as detailed in the above discussion.
Statutory Requirements and Policy Implications:
The Financial Plan has been prepared in accordance with statutory requirements and
Municipal financial policies. There are several new requirements for 2008 in the Community
Charter for the Financial Plan Bylaw, including: disclosure of the proportions of revenue
proposed to come from various funding sources; the distribution of property taxes among
property classes; and the use of permissive tax exemptions. The attached bylaw includes
this information.
For 2009 the statement will be expanded to include explicit policies and objectives. Maple
Ridge already has policies and objectives in each of these areas which are included in
several documents.
Public consultation is an important and legislated component of preparing financial plans.
The Business Planning Guidelines were updated in June with an opportunity for the public to
provide feedback. Public input during business planning this November was invited through
advertisements in the local paper and on the corporate website. Input was accepted
through many different mediums including in person at the business planning presentations
which were open to the public or through email or voicemail. A further opportunity exists for
public comment on the Financial Plan Bylaw prior to adoption; an advertisement will be
placed in the local paper once the b'law receives first reading from Council. Public input into
the financial plan and departmental business plans is incorporated indirectly through regular
feedback and interaction with customers and the public as well as through the results of
surveys.
f) Alternatives:
In the event that this bylaw is not adopted, the District is not authorized to make any
expenditure other than those identified in the 2007-2011 Financial Plan Bylaw No. 6502-
2007. This will require ensuring that departments curtail or delay expenditures and only
proceed with capital projects that were identified in the previous financial plan.
CONCLUSIONS:
The Financial Plan is a multi-year planning, reviewing and reporting tool that represents Council's
vision and commitment to providing quality services to the residents of Maple Ridge. The Plan
provides a forecast of the financial resources that are available to fund operations, programs and
infrastructure for the five year period.

DISCUSSION:
Background Context:
Thirty-two folios are affected:
BCA adjusted 5 residential folios which were originally assessed as land only to include the value of
newly built homes. The Property Assessment Appeal Board (PAAB) directed BCA to adjust two folios
which were originally assessed business class only to accurately reflect partial residential use and to
reduce the land value of another residential folio. A review of the Translink roll resulted in the addition of
parking taxes which were missed from the original roll to 24 properties and the elimination of the parking
tax on one property as it was incorrectly applied.
(Net Municipal tax decrease, business class, $838.41; net increase residential class $3,628.72)
Business Plan/Financial Implications:
There will be a total increase of $4.833.38 in tax revenue of which the municipal share is $2,790.31.
CONCLUSIONS:
A review by BC Assessment and appeals filed with PAAB resulted in an increase in the assessments base
for residential class of $998,600 and a decrease in the assessment base for business class of $67,000. A
review of the parking tax roll and an appeal filed with PAAB resulted in changes to 25 properties which
reduced overall receivables, by $14.04 and had no impact on municipal taxes.

SUBJECT: MRSS Running Track Expansion
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Maple Ridge Council approved capital funding of $300,000 for the MRSS Running Track Expansion
Project in 2007. This project is to be constructed in cooperation with SD42 who are also contributing
$300,000 in the 2007 capital budget year. The tenders have been received and exceed the joint
approved budget by $287,000.
School District 42 is very supportive of the track expansion project and has approved the request for
an additional $143,500 for the project, which will cover 50% of the funding shortfall.
In order to proceed with the MRSS Track Expansion Project avoiding additional cost increases and
stay within the approved funding in the 5 year capital program, staff propose that the remaining
shortfall of $143,500 be funded from the parks 2007 operating budget surplus that will be available
due to vacant parks positions, and adjustments to fleet costs.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That the contract to complete the civil (site Prep) work for the Merkley Park / MRSS track
project be awarded to Wilco Landscape in the amount of $596,000.00
That the contract to complete the track resurfacing for the Merkley Park / MRSS track

The Track renovation project was tendered as two separate components in June 2007. One
portion was for the site preparation (Civil works) and the other was the installation of the track
surfacing material.
There were a total of 4 bidders for the surfacing component who were able to complete their
portion of the project in 2007, however the 3 civil contractors who picked up tender documents
indicated that they would not be able to schedule this work in 2007. They were willing to provide
firm pricing now if the project start date could be deferred until 2008. We have since confirmed
that the track surfacing contractors remain committed to their quotes, even if the project is
deferred to 2008.
1151
The following bids have been received for each component this project:
Site preparation contract Track surfacing contract
Wilco Landscape $596,800.00 Defargo Sport Surface $260,500.00
Cap Ventures $633,800.00 Marathon Athletic (1) $270,536.38
Cedar Crest Lands $779,692.00 Marathon Athletic (2) $340,565.28
Ocean Marker $275,953.00
Centaur Products Inc $439,000.00 +GST
b) Desired Outcome(s):
The desired outcome is that the additional funding for the track renovation be approved so that
the contract can be awarded now to avoid further increases in project cost through the re
tendering of the project at a later date.
C) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The two Track and Field Clubs participated in the design process, and have been very
accommodating with regard to moving their activities to alternate locations during the proposed
construction period. The timing of this project is planned to ensure that the track will be
completed prior to the upcoming Disability Games being hosted by Maple Ridge and Pitt
Meadows in 2009.
d) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
As noted above the municipal portion of the budget shortfall can be drawn from the 2007 parks
and Facility department surplus.
CONCLUSIONS:
Further delays in the expansion and resurfacing of the MRSS running track is not recommended
considering the current surface condition of the track, which is the only facility of its kind in Maple
Ridge andt-Msdows.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Committee of the Whole
SUBJECT: Whonnock Lake Property Disposal
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The District of Maple Ridge has received an inquiry from an interested buyer for the property located
in the 27700 block of 112th Avenue. This property was purchased by the District of Maple Ridge to
provide an alternate road access to Whonnock Lake Park. The subsequent construction of 276th
Street and an access road on 113th Avenue has made this property redundant for road access off
112th Avenue.
The Parks and Leisure Services Commission recommends that, the property designation shown on
the OCP be changed from Park to Rural Residential, consistent with the current zoning of the site,
and that the property be offered for sale.
RECOMMENDATION:
That on the recommendation of the Parks and Leisure Services Commission, staff be authorized to:
proceed with an amendment to the OCP Bylaw # 6425-2006 to redesignate the property
described in the November 16th, 2007, from Park to Rural Residential, and
offer the property for sale.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
This 1.0 ha. property (legally described as,W 1/2 of Lot 15, Section 17 TP 12 Plan 1779) is located
just east of the 2761h Street intersection with 112th Avenue (map attached). This property was
purchased by the District of Maple Ridge prior to 1978 as it appears in the Whonnock Lake Park
Development Study that was presented to the Maple Ridge Parks Commission in October of that
year. This study recommended that the access to the park be changed from Graham Street to a
point east of the Firehall on 112th Avenue at 276th Street. The proposed site plan included the
subject site as part of the park, however it was not identified for an access road or any other specific
park purpose. The new park access was then constructed on 276th Street following the
recommendation contained in the Development Study.
1152
The subject site does not form an integral portion of the park with its frontage on 112th Avenue.
Acquisition of neighbouring properties on this same frontage to expand the park south is not the
desired land acquisition objective. The current focus is to acquire lands that border on the lake to
allow for a future continuous public access around the lake.
On January 11, 2007 the Parks and Leisure Services Commission considered the disposal of this
property and recommended that Staff consult with the Whonnock Communty Association before
proceeding with a recommendation to Maple Ridge Council.
Staff met with the executive of the Whonnock Community Association on November 15th, 2007 to
discuss the proposal. The Association determined there was no objection to the sale of the land.
CONCLUSIONS:
Based on how the park access road has developed along 276th Street off of 112th Avenue, and the
current land acquisition objectives for Whonnock Lake Park, it is recommended that the Official
Community Plan land use designation for the subject site be changed to Rural Residential and the
property be offered for sale.

• In 2002 CYFN responded to the increasing number of
homeless people on our streets and lack of affordable housing
by establishing the Homelessness Coalition
• In the Fall of 2003 the Coalition undertook a study -
"Responding to Homelessness in Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows
- A Needs Assessment & Action Plan"
• It found the gaps in our community's continuum of housing to
be:
Second Stage/Transitional Housing (Some but not enough)
Emergency Shelter beds (Minimal barrier and youth are
targets)
Supportive Housing integrated into mixed-income
neighbourhoods

AHSS was formed in December 2003 to take
action in these areas
We currently operate:
• The Iron Horse Youth Safe House, and
• Community Outreach Program

GAccording to the 2002 homeless count there were 62
homeless people in MflIPM
ln 2005 42 people were counted, but we know this to
be undercounted from norm at time
'The current estimate from the COWs and service
agencies is 70 to 80 people live on our streets or

Homelessness Initiative and have
received provisional project
approval for $5.4 M in capital
funding to develop a supportive

•Maple Ridge has been working together
to address the needs of the homeless
and we are having success
•There is a lack of affordable rental
housing of all kinds
•No long term rental units provide the
support services many in our
community need
While local governments can do much to
protect and expand the stock of
affordable rental housing, the federal
and provincial governments also have
vital roles to play. Access to safe,
secure and affordable housing is a basic
human right and must be seen as the
responsibility of all levels of
government.
