COMMUNITY FORUM COMMUNITY FORUM The Community Forum provides the public with an opportunity to ask questions of Council on items that are of concern to them, with the exception of Public Hearing by-laws that have not yet reached conclusion. Council will not tolerate any derogatory remarks directed at Council or staff members. Each person will be permitted 2 minutes to speak or ask questions (a second opportunity is permitted if no one else is sitting in the chairs in front of the podium). Questions must be directed to the Chair of the meeting and not to the individual members of Council. The total time for this Forum is limited to 15 minutes. If a question cannot be answered, the speaker will be advised when and how a response will be given. Other opportunities are available to address Council including public hearings and delegations. The public may also make their views known to Council by writing or via email and by attending open houses, workshops and information meetings. Serving on an Advisory Committee is an excellent way to have a voice in the future of this community. For more information on these opportunities contact: Clerk's Department at 604-463-5221 or clerks@mapleridge.ca Mayor and Council at mayorandcouncil@mapleridge.ca Checked by: Date: MAPLE RIDGE Deep Roots Greater Heights District of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin MEETING DATE: June 20, 2011 and Members of Council FILE NO: 2011 -056 -AL FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W SUBJECT: Application to Subdivide Land within the Agricultural Land Reserve 12787 256 Street EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: An application has been received under Section 21 (2) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act to subdivide 6.4 hectares (15.1 acres) of land that is within the Agricultural Land Reserve. The application conforms to the submission requirements of the Commission. RECOMMENDATION: That the application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Armando Bolognese Owner: Armando Bolognese & Cherry -Dawn Bolognese Legal Description: Section: 23, Township: 12, Plan: 2034 OCP: Existing: Agricultural Zoning: Existing: RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) Surrounding Uses North: Use: (7 properties) 4 rural residential, 3 with assessed farm status Zone: RS -3 One Family Rural Residential Designation: Agricultural South: Use: Rural residential Zone: RS -3 One Family Rural Residential Designation: Agricultural East: Use: Farm and rural residential Zone: RS -3 One Family Rural Residential Designation: Agricultural West: Use: Rural residential Zone: RS -3 One Family Rural Residential Designation: Agricultural Existing Use of Property: Rural Residential Proposed Use of Property: Rural Residential 1101 Site Area: 6.1 hectares Access: 256 Street b) Project Description: The applicant wishes to subdivide the 6.1 hectare (15.2 acre) subject property into 2 parcels, of 1.1 hectares (2.8 acres) and 5.0 hectares (12.4 acres). The subject property fronts 256 Street to the east, and has undeveloped road allowance to its north (128 Avenue) and to its west (251 Street). The applicant states that access will be taken from 128th Avenue to the west of the property, which is currently not constructed for automotive transport. The minimum lot size in the RS -3 Zone is 0.8 hectares (2 acres) where municipal water is available. A similar application for this subject- property was presented to Council at the July 19, 2010 Committee of the Whole meeting. It was not forwarded to the Commission at the subsequent July 27, 2010 Council meeting. This application differs from the previous application in that the applicant explicitly states the intent to take access off 128th Avenue. In addition, the applicant has provided information to support the application. This is attached for Council's consideration as Appendix C. c) Planning Analysis: If this application is ultimately successful, and receives Agricultural Land Commission approval, the applicant will have to apply for a subdivision through the municipality. Through this process, the applicant will have to demonstrate that both of the proposed lots will have on-site septic capability to current standards. In addition, both properties must comply with municipal requirements with respect to lot geometry, road frontage and parcel size. The Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw requires 60 metres road frontage for the RS -3 Zone. The costs for constructing this required road allowance on 251 Street and 128 Avenue are estimated to be roughly $820.00 per metre (without traversing watercourses). These costs would be assumed by the developer. In addition, the developer must provide a letter from a B.C. Land Surveyor ensuring that all roads adjacent to the subdivision are roads dedicated to the District of Maple Ridge. If a road is not dedicated, it must be dedicated as part of subdivision requirements at the developer's expense. Should this application be successful, the applicant is advised to assess the magnitude of this survey and research costs prior to proceeding with a formal subdivision application. Official Community Plan On November 14, 2006, Council adopted the Official Community Plan, which contains supportive agricultural policies. On December 16, 2009 Council adopted an Agricultural Plan to support agriculture within the rural area and the Agricultural Land Reserve. The merits of this application will be viewed within this policy context. -2- Section 6.2.1 Economic Development Strategy. Pertinent excerpts from Policy 6-6 state: Maple Ridge will develop an Agricultural Plan that: c) promotes leasing opportunities of agricultural land; h) will identify a variety of mechanisms to assist farm operators and to protect agricultural lands, including but not limited to the creation of trusts, endowments, and life -leases; One reason for promoting alternative tenures (Policies 6-6 c and h) relates to the high cost of land, which is a known barrier for new farmers wishing to start an agricultural business. By supporting other forms of tenure such as leasing that can delay or avoid the need for this capital investment by individual farmers, the municipality can improve its agricultural potential, and bring more of its agricultural land into full production. Subdivision is not required in order to lease land. In fact, further subdivisions tend to increase speculative activity within the Agricultural Land Reserve, thereby increasing the market value of farmland, and exacerbating the issue of economic barriers to entry for new farmers. The cumulative effects of these land use decisions can be detrimental to the agricultural potential of the community. The intent of these Policy 6-6 excerpts is to encourage property owners who do not wish to derive income themselves from farming to lease their land to agricultural producers. In addition to rental income, these property owners will benefit from tax benefits gained from generating farm income on their properties. The greater community will benefit from greater local employment and business opportunities. Section 6.2.2 Sustainable Agriculture. Pertinent excerpts from Policy 6-12 state: Maple Ridge will protect the productivity of its agricultural land by: a) adopting a guiding principle of "positive benefit to agriculture" when making land use decisions that could affect the agricultural land base, with favourable recognition of initiatives including but not limited to supportive non-farm uses, infrastructure improvements for farmland, or the inclusion of land elsewhere in the Agricultural Land Reserve; d) discouraging the subdivision of agricultural land into smaller parcels, except where positive benefits to agriculture can be demonstrated; e) reinforcing the concept that the Agricultural Land Reserve is intended for agricultural use by increasing the minimum lot size for ALR properties that are zoned Rural Residential; f) encouraging the amalgamation of smaller parcels of farmland into larger, more cohesive parcels. The applicant has provided a commitment to purchase fruit trees as a measure to demonstrate positive benefits to agriculture. However, there is no commitment from the applicant to ensure that these trees would be planted, maintained, and cultivated for productive capacity. Policy 6-12 also emphasizes the importance of discouraging the subdivision of agricultural land into smaller parcels, increasing the minimum parcel size of ALR properties with Rural Residential zoning, and amalgamation to create larger farm parcels. -3- For the above noted reasons, this application should not be considered inconsistent with the Agricultural policies of the Official Community Plan. Agricultural Plan The Agricultural Plan notes the following issues that are of particular relevance to this application: Issue 1 of the Plan notes the difficulty emerging farmers face in gaining access to underutilized agricultural land. The main concerns noted are the extent of Agricultural land held in an idle state within the community, and the high land costs which restricts those wishing to enter the industry. Strategies to improve this situation could include initiatives to encourage non -farming land owners to make idle land available to farmers or to start farming it themselves. The Plan states the importance of emphasizing the role of agriculture in the Agricultural Land Reserve and to remove some of the perception that the Agricultural Land Reserve is a land reserve for development in the District. Specific Recommendations in the Plan build on the policy recommendations to the Official Community Plan to include the following: a) Develop a strategy to increase landowner awareness of farmland leasing options, taxation benefits, and community demand for local production b) Create a database of farmland available for leasing, including a database maintenance strategy c) Develop access to materials on lease/rental terms and sample agreements, possibly website delivered d) Create educational materials for agricultural property owners regarding stewardship of agricultural land e) Through various workshops and electronic media, initiate discussion on the role of small lot property owners in enhancing local agriculture in the District (gaining access to land, pooling of small lots, rent calculator, lessee responsibilities) f) Identify and promote opportunities for development of urban agriculture. Issue 5 of the Plan notes concerns with the loss of the agricultural land base, describing the following situations that are pertinent to this application: • Many small parcels • High level of rural residential incursion into Agricultural Land Reserve • Non -farmed areas of the Agricultural Land Reserve tend to be smaller parcels • Continued conversion pressure from the District of Maple Ridge's urban growth • Financial pressure on farming The Plan also notes that more recent priorities given to food safety, food security, and climate change, includes the development of a local food system. Towards this end, the community would benefit from greater certainty that the agricultural land base is not undermined by incremental land use decisions that result in the loss or greater parcelization of agricultural land. Section 5.5 of the Agricultural Plan makes the following recommendations that pertain to this application: b) Continue to implement the OCP policies to protect the agricultural land base by creating guidelines for reviewing applications for non-farm use, exclusions, fill applications, transportation and utility applications, subdivisions, and government applications; g) Explore retention of lots 2 ha (5 acres) and larger in the Agricultural Land Reserve. 4 Appropriate parcel sizes for the RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) zone may be reviewed through the implementation of the Agricultural Plan. Currently, the minimum parcel size in this zone is 0.8 hectares (2.0 acres) where community water is available. This zone pertains to most of the land that is within the Agricultural Land Reserve, including the subject property. The RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) zone pre -dates the creation of the Agricultural Land Reserve. Although designated for Agriculture, there is a concern that this historic zoning contributes to the perception that farming is not the primary use of this zone. Environmental Concerns: The lot slopes gently from north to south, with a well defined channel for Websters Creek / Zirk Brook. There are several creeks on the property (Websters Creek, Zirk Brook and other un -named tributaries) that will require setbacks of up to 30 metres. The District's usual practice for ensuring watercourse protection in the Agricultural Land Reserve is through restrictive covenants which must be approved by the Agricultural Land Commission prior to being registered on title. d) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department. The Engineering Department would review this application for its servicing requirements as part of the municipal subdivision application should Commission approval be granted. It should be noted that depending on assessed community need, the Engineering Department may require that all undeveloped road frontages be constructed as part of this application. Exemptions to these servicing requirements may be granted through a development variance. Preliminary comments about this development proposal in relation to the Subdivision Bylaw are that the section of 256 Street that fronts the subject property is an arterial road with a width of 20 metres. The Bylaw indicates that a minimum of 26 metres is required for an arterial road. Therefore road dedication may be required for this corridor. Road dedication may also be required for 251 Street to the west of the subject property. Road construction for access to the western portion (5 hectares / 12.4 acres) of the site is required, and should be provided from the west, from 251 Street at 128 Avenue. The Subdivision Bylaw indicates that the rural standard is 20 metres. There is an equestrian trail in the 128 Avenue road allowance from 251 Street to 256 Street. Alternatives: Based on the policies of the Official Community Plan and the Agricultural Plan, the recommendation is not to forward the application to the Commission, in which case the application will be considered denied. If Council decides to forward this application to the Agricultural Land Commission, the Commission will evaluate the merits of this application, and make their decision accordingly. CONCLUSION: This application has been evaluated for its consistency with the policies of the Official Community Plan, and its implications for the Agricultural Plan. The application is found to be not in compliance with this policy framework. On this basis, the recommendation is that this application not be authorized to go forward to the Commission. -5- This report notes servicing deficiencies that would require redress prior to subdivision occurring, which includes road construction, road dedication, and assurance by a professional surveyor that these existing rights-of-way are dedicated and are not crown properties. Should this application be successful, the applicant is advised to review these costs fully before proceeding further with a municipal subdivision application. 0.0 liroiLl Prepared by: Diana Hall Ap ve 4r '1 ne- Direc • .

Bolognese 7967 Raven's Cry Rd., Halfmoon Bay, B.C. To Whom It May Concern, I am re -applying to the City of Maple Ridge to divide my property at 12787 256th St., Maple Ridge, B.C. It is 15 acres in the ALR, zoned RS3 on the official community plan. I will be using the term "divide" as subdivision conjures up mental images of multiple homes and lots. That is not the case here, I want to divide the 15 acre parcel into two parcels. One piece to be 3 acres and house plus barns and the remainder would be 12 cleared acres. The house has been rented to a family of five who wish to buy the house plus three acres as soon as a division of the property can be facilitated. They have already established themselves as a hobby farm. At the meeting with the Mayor, Ms. Pickering, Ms. Hall and Mr. Quinn, I was told that the original application was denied because the application was lacking in showing a "benefit to agriculture". The members present could not give me a definitive definition of the term. I contacted the head of the ALC Mr. Eamon Watson and talked to him for several hours. At the end of our conversations he suggested that I reapply to the city with my idea for a benefit to agriculture. IF the city agrees to the division of my property and forwards this application to the ALC AND the ALC agrees to the division of my property, AND the division comes to fruition, I will immediately sell the house and the front three acres to the family that is presently renting the premises. Thereupon I will take $10,000.00 of my capital and purchase fruit trees. I approximate there will be 330 or so trees. I will plant 10% of them on the remaining twelve acres as an orchard. I will then offer to the agricultural community of Maple Ridge the balance of 300 fruit trees - free of charge to any established farmer who wishes to plant an orchard. The farms Must be in the ALC and perhaps a maximum of 50 trees per farmer will be instated. This is akin to planting seven orchards of 48 trees per orchard. The concern that the two properties will not be farmed is alleviated. The front 3 acres is and will be a hobby farm with horses and livestock. The back 12 acres will be planted in fruit trees. It will be much more productive than as it stands now. In 2004 the District of Maple Ridge Land Use Inventory states; " There were 1546 lots in the study area with an average size of 2.7 hectares{6.6 acres} Defining a small parcel as under two hectares{less than 4.9 acres} in size, there were 902 small parcels in the study area. Of those, 23% had Agriculture as their primary land use activity. " It continues; "Small agricultural parcels are valuable for the growing small -lot agriculture sector, both soil -bound and non -soil -bound. Small farms tend to be innovative, community -focused and diverse." In 2008 Maple Ridge Agricultural Area Planning stated that; Section 2.0 Maple Ridge Agriculture Faces Challenges; "Parcels are small and the scale of agriculture is correspondingly small. The soils are less capable than in prime areas of the Lower Mainland and require more management." and "In particular, the scale of farming is smaller than elsewhere in the Lower Mainland and this may be leading to less competitive operations." (making the concept of tenure and lease non-profitable to the leasee) and "Table 4, sub -area 6 (the area where my farm is located) the range of size is 1.2 to 30 acres the average size is 4.72 acres. (three acres would be in line with the area around my property; 2 acre parcels are along the west boundary) Then again in 2009 the Maple Ridge Agricultural Plan states; "Diverse agricultural activity occurs on farms of All Sizes and uses many channels to distribute agricultural products and services to the consumer public." Then again, in Policy 6-8 e) Developing a small lot agriculture initiative tailored to Maple Ridge conditions." and again in Policy 6-11 "Review policies and regulations to Support and Encourage small lot agriculture. Creating a smaller front piece to border 256th Street would not be out of the Districts guidelines established since 2004 to date The argument that small lot sizes are not farmed cannot be construed a solid repudiation of my application to divide my property. I can demonstrate intense farming practice in the heart of Burnaby on city lots. Please refer to the photographs attached. The house is question belongs to my father-in-law. His "urban" agriculture produces enough vegetables to his family to eat, can, freeze, and share among neighbours. There are three fruit trees on his city lot as well. There is no grass. My brother-in-law has a similar garden. As did my aunt. One uncle and aunt have a large vegetable garden and two "pet"chickens. I could go on, but the point is this; you have to WANT to farm. Size of the parcel doesn't matter - the desire to grow plants or animals is what is important. In my conversations with Mr. Watson, head of the ALC we discussed the viability of renting or tenure for my property. Due to its configuration and Small size of 15 acres, it is not a farm with commercial value. In fact the Maple Ridge Agricultural Plan for 2009 states; "The Maple Ridge agricultural sector is comprised primarily of operators with part-time levels of farm income." and "In 2005, about 79% of farm operators grossed less than $25,000 annually." After researching rental prices, a rent $3000.00 per month would be in line for the market. Why then would anyone tenure or lease a farm for $36,000.00 per annum if they would likely to gross only $25,000.00 or there about, due to the size and soil quality? As to the question of services; Since the city is constructing an access road down 128th Ave., the north boundary of my property, I am sure that access can be negotiated and acquired. Or perhaps a mirrored easement can be instituted. (like the one that was allowed to Mr. Marchand who had the property three lots south of us on 256th St.) Ms. Hall mentioned in her letter of refusal "servicing deficiencies" citing a bylaw that requires 256th St. to have a minimum of 26 metres, while it is only 20 metres. IF the District of Maple Ridge Agrees to the division of our property AND refers it to the ALC AND the ALC agree to the division of my property, AND the division comes to fruition, we would be willing to allow the District 3 metres from our east border to count toward the arterial road allowance. I will assume any outstanding balance required will come from the properties on the other side of the road. Pertaining to environmental concerns, vis a vis, fish creeks; again for the record; Mr. Rod Stott came to walk my property with me. There are two fish creeks on my property that require 30 metre setbacks. One is near the house and barns, the other is near the middle of the property. There are two small headwaters on the southern fence line that only require a 15 metre half circle around them. My engineer Dr. Ramsay was a witness to this inspection and decision by Mr. Stott. The division of my property that is being suggested will not have any effect on the status of these creeks and headwaters. Any future building of a house on the back 12 acres will have more than adequate clearances to the creek. I trust that this adequately addresses any concerns that the District raised in conjunction with my previous application. yours truly ,� 4, Cherry Bolognese BENEFIT TO AGRICULTURE re: application to divide 12787 256th Street, Maple Ridge, B.C. Mr. and Mrs. Bolognese, owners of 12787 256th Street, Maple Ridge, B.C. are prepared to; IF the District of Maple Ridge agrees to the division of the above property AND forwards the application to the ALC AND the ALC agrees to the division of the above property AND the division comes to fruition; then we will sell the above property immediately. ONLY THEN will we take $10,000.00 from our equity and purchase fruit trees. An approximated amount is 330 trees. We will plant 10% of the trees to foinu an orchard on the larger of the two pieces. The balance will be offer to the Agricultural community of Maple Ridge - free of charge to farmers within the ALR wishing to plant orchards. There will be two conditions, one the farm must be within the ALR and two there will be a cap at 50 trees per farmer. If the trees are not taken by farmers within Maple Ridge then the trees will be offered to farmers in the Lower Mainland. AS WELL should the District of Maple Ridge agree to the division of the above property AND forwards the application to the ALC AND the ALC agrees to the division of the above property AND the division comes to fruition; ONLY THEN will we donate 3 metres of property of our east border for the arterial route allowance. • , • - • \ 1-, • - • ra MOE lit - vr-f1-41_1, • 4 ' iv . 17,-,4N7 Im• i4 • • - 6 * -- • 40- 1111111kiai 11 o OW l• .2•-r4/11 ,, `...1` `P. f -11 • • - - statio...1.11f t • 411 4. _ • 1 - . •‘• • ..A _ MAPLE RIDGE ntI51 Cu Iurnbla Deep Roots Greater Heights District of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin MEETING DATE: June 20, 2011 and Members of Council FILE NO: RZ/115/10 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W SUBJECT: First Reading Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6834-2011 23213 Lougheed Highway EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: An application has been received to rezone the subject property from M-2 (General Industrial) to CS - 1 (Service Commercial) to permit an addition to the existing car dealership.

RECOMMENDATIONS: In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act, requirement for consultation during the development or amendment of an Official Community Plan, Council must consider whether consultation is required with specifically: i. The Board of the Regional District in which the area covered by the plan is located, in the case of a Municipal Official Community Plan; ii. The Board of any Regional District that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; iii. The Council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; iv. First Nations; v. School District Boards, greater boards and improvements district boards; and vi. The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies. and in that regard it is recommended that no additional consultation be required in respect of this matter beyond the early posting of the proposed Official Community Plan amendments on the District's website, together with an invitation to the public to comment, and; That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6834-2011 be given First Reading; and; That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules A, C, D, F and G of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879 - 1999. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Owner: Don Bowins Vaughn Wyant Investments Ltd 1102 Legal Description: OCP: Lot: A Except: Firstly: Part Highway on Plan 22870 and Secondly: Part Highway on Plan 25492; , D.L.: 275, Group 1, NWD Plan: 9085 Existing: Agricultural Proposed: Commercial Zoning: Existing: M-2 (General Industrial) Proposed: CS -1 (Service Commercial) Surrounding Uses: North: South: East: West: Use: Regional Park Zone: RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Park Use: Vacant Zone: RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Agricultural Use: Municipal Park Zone: RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Parks Within the ALR Use: Regional Park Zone: M-2 (General Industrial) Designation: Par Existing Use of Property: Car Dealership Proposed Use of Property: Car Dealership Site Area: 1.250 hectares Access: Tamarack Lane Servicing requirement: Urban Standard b) Site Characteristics: The subject site is located at the corner of Lougheed Highway and Tamarack Lane adjacent to the Albion Flats Area. The property is relatively flat and within the Fraser River Floodplain. There are few environmental features on the property as it has been fully developed for a car dealership and has been in operation for many years. Spencer Creek runs adjacent to the subject site along the western property line. Project Description: The subject property has a complex history. The existing legal non -conforming commercial use has been in operation since before the property was included in the Agricultural Land Reserve in 1972. Although excluded from the Reserve in 1987, the property retained its Agricultural land use designation with the adoption of the Official Community Plan in 1996. As a result, the property was considered as part of the Green Zone in the Regional Context Statement of that Official Community Plan. Although legally entitled to continue the use in perpetuity, the property owner was limited in the extent of site upgrades possible due to these constraints. The site is zoned M-2 (General Industrial), which prohibits commercial uses. However, rezoning was not possible without amending the Green Zone designation, a matter under the jurisdiction of the Regional District. -2- This situation was remedied with the adoption of the Official Community Plan in 2006, which included this property as a "starred property" for consideration by the Regional District for an amendment. The Metro Vancouver Regional District has subsequently removed the Green Zone designation for this and other starred properties in the District. As a result, Council now has the option of amending the land use designation of the property, and a rezoning application may now proceed. At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official Community Plan and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will need to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a further report will be required prior to Second Reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries and yields, Official Community Plan designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: This project requires an amendment to the Official Community Plan to re -designate the land use to Commercial, to amend the Urban Boundary to include this site, and to remove the `starred property' designation from the site. This site was one of the starred properties identified on the 2006 Official Community Plan and Metro Vancouver has approved an amendment to this property that would permit it to be re -designated for Urban Development. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 23213 Lougheed Highway from M-2 (General Industrial) to CS -1 (Service Commercial) to permit a renovation to the existing legal non- conforming car dealership. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.5 of the Official Community Plan, a Commercial Development Permit application is required to address the current proposal's compatibility with adjacent development, and to enhance the unique character of the community. Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the Official Community Plan, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is required for all developments and building permits within 50 metres of the top of bank of all watercourses and wetlands. The purpose of the Watercourse Protection Development Permit is to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas. Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the Official Community Plan. a Natural Features Development Permit application is required for all development and subdivision activity for; -3- • All areas designated Conservation on Schedule "B" or all areas within 50 metres of an area designated Conservation on Schedule "B"; • All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 percent; • All floodplain areas and forest lands identified on Natural Features Schedule "C" to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas. d) Interdepartmental Implications: In order to advance the current application, after First Reading, comments and input, will be sought from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below: a) Engineering Department; b) Operations Department; c) Building Department; d) Fire Department; e) Ministry of Transportation The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above. This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time; therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. We anticipate that this evaluation will take place between First and Second Reading. e) Development Applications: In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879 - 1999 as amended: 1. An Official Community Plan Application (Schedule A); 2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C); 3. Commercial Development Permit (Schedule D) 4. Watercourse Protection Development Permit Application (Schedule F); 5. Natural Features Development Permit Application (Schedule G) The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. Advisory Design Panel: A Commercial Development Permit is required and must be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel prior to Second Reading. CONCLUSION: The development proposal is not in compliance with the Official Community Plan, however, justification has been provided to support an Official Community Plan amendment. It is, therefore, recommended that Council grant First Reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to Second Reading. -4- In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an Official Community Plan amendment, it is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the District's website, together with an invitation to the public to comment. It is, therefore recommended that Council not require any additional consultation.

To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. RECOMMENDATIONS: In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act, requirement for consultation during the development or amendment of an Official Community Plan, Council must consider whether consultation is required with specifically: i. The Board of the Regional District in which the area covered by the plan is located, in the case of a Municipal Official Community Plan; ii. The Board of any Regional District that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; iii. The Council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; iv. First Nations; v. School District Boards, greater boards and improvements district boards; and vi. The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies. and in that regard it is recommended that no additional consultation be required in respect of this matter beyond the early posting of the proposed Official Community Plan amendments on the District's website, together with an invitation to the public to comment, and; That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6835-2011 be given First Reading; and; That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedule B, F, and G of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879 - 1999.

Albion Hill Gully Creek runs through the south-eastern portion of the site while the Albion Brook runs south of the property and through a small western portion of the site. These watercourses are situated in ravines characterized by steep slopes of more than 30% grade in some areas. A large amount of the site is currently forested and undeveloped. -2- Project Description: The applicant proposes to rezone the subject site to allow future subdivision into single family lots with minimum areas of 0.4 ha (one acre). The development is proposed to be accessed from Lougheed Highway by a new road that must cross Albion Brook and is in close proximity to the existing property access. Part of the site is proposed to be protected from development through either Park dedication or environmental covenant for the protection of steep slopes and watercourses. At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official Community Plan and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will need to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a further report will be required prior to Second Reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries and yields, Official Community Plan designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The property is designated as Suburban Residential in the Official Community Plan and the proposed RS -2 (One Family Suburban Residential) zone is in accordance with this designation. As there are significant environmental features located on the property, an OCP amendment will be required to designate a portion of the site as Conservation. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 24225 Lougheed Highway from RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS -2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to permit future subdivision. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the Official Community Plan, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is required for all developments and building permits within 50 metres of the top of bank of all watercourses and wetlands. Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the Official Community Plan, a Natural Features Development Permit application is required for all development and subdivision activity for; • All areas designated Conservation on Schedule "B" or all areas within 50 metres of an area designated Conservation on Schedule "B"; • All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 percent; • All floodplain areas and forest lands identified on Natural Features Schedule "C" -3- d) Interdepartmental Implications: In order to advance the current application, after First Reading, comments and input, will be sought from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below: a) Engineering Department; b) Operations Department; c) Building Department; d) Fire Department; e) Parks Department; f) Ministry of Transportation; g) School District The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application progresses, to liaise with agencies and departments not listed above. This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time; therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. We anticipate that this evaluation will take place between First and Second Reading. e) Development Applications: In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879 - 1999 as amended: 1. Complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B); 2. Watercourse Protection Development Permit Application (Schedule F); 3. Natural Features Development Permit Application (Schedule G); 4. Subdivision Application The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. CONCLUSION: The development proposal is not in compliance with the Official Community Plan, however, justification has been provided to support an Official Community Plan amendment. It is, therefore, recommended that Council grant First Reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to Second Reading. It is expected that once complete information is received, Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6835-2011 will be amended and an Official Community Plan Amendment for Conservation designation will be required. In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an Official Community Plan amendment, it is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the District's website, together with an invitation to the public to comment.

To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. RECOMMENDATIONS: In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act, requirement for consultation during the development or amendment of an Official Community Plan, Council must consider whether consultation is required with specifically: i. The Board of the Regional District in which the area covered by the plan is located, in the case of a Municipal Official Community Plan; ii. The Board of any Regional District that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; iii. The Council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; iv. First Nations; v. School District Boards, greater boards and improvements district boards; and vi. The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies. and in that regard it is recommended that no additional consultation be required in respect of this matter beyond the early posting of the proposed Official Community Plan amendments on the District's website, together with an invitation to the public to comment, and; That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6833-2011 be given First Reading; and; That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules A, C, D, E, F and G of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879 - 1999. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Owner: Legal Description: Focus Architecture Inc. Florence L Nicholson Parcel "A" (ex plan 16722), Lot 4, Section 16, Township 12, NWD Plan 7289; and Lot 10, Section 16, Township 12, NWD Plan 21065 1105 OCP: Existing: Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Surrounding Uses: North: South: East: West: Use: Zone: Designation Use: Zone: Designation: Use: Zone: Designation: Use: Zone: Designation: Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Site Area: Access: Servicing requirement: b) Site Characteristics: Urban Residential, Conservation RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) RM -1 (Townhouse Residential) Townhouse Residential, Park RM -1 (Townhouse Residential), RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) Urban Residential, Conservation Single Family Residential RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) Urban Residential, Conservation Single Family Residential RS -lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential), CD -1-93 Urban Residential Vacant RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) Conservation Single Family Residential Townhouse Residential 2.807 ha (6.9 ac). 236 Street Full Urban The development site is located on the west side of 236 Street just north of 114A Avenue, and it is comprised of 2 large lots with a total area of 2.8 hectares (6.9 acres). The eastern portion of the property has a developable area that is relatively flat. The western portion of the property has some steep slopes, some exceeding 25%, and watercourses that are part of the Cottonwood Creek system. The geotechnical and environmental assessments will determine the required setbacks from these features. There is an existing strata development to the north, and the property north of that is under application for a townhouse development (RZ/022/10). The property to the south of this site is a large singe family residential lot. Project Description: The applicant is proposing to construct multi -family townhouse buildings on the developable portion of the site. At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official Community Plan and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will need to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a further report will be required prior to Second Reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries and yields, Official Community Plan designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. -2- c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The property is designated Urban Residential and Conservation. The proposed use of townhouse residential is consistent with the Major Corridor Residential development of the Urban Residential land use designation. 236 Street will be built to a Collector standard, as required by Section 3- 18(2)(ii) of the Official Community Plan, and by the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw. An amendment to the Official Community Plan will be required to adjust the land use boundaries to establish the extent of Conservation boundary. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 11461 and 11475 236 Street from RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RM -1 (Townhouse Residential) to permit the construction of a townhouse development. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Official Community Plan, a Multi -Family Development Permit application is required to ensure the current proposal enhances existing .neighbourhoods with compatible housing styles that meet diverse needs, and minimize potential conflicts with neighbouring land uses. Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the Official Community Plan, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is required to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas. Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the Official Community Plan, a Natural Features Development Permit application is required for all development and subdivision activity for; • All areas designated Conservation on Schedule "B" or all areas within 50 metres of an area designated Conservation on Schedule "B"; • All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 percent; • All floodplain areas and forest lands identified on Natural Features Schedule "C" to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas. Advisory Design Panel: A Multi -Family Development Permit is required and must be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel prior to Second Reading. Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting is required for this application. Prior to Second Reading the applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in accordance with Council Policy 6.20. d) Interdepartmental Implications: In order to advance the current application, after First Reading, comments and input, will be sought from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below: a) Engineering Department; b) Operations Department; c) Fire Department; d) Parks Department; 3 e) School District. The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above. This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time; therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. We anticipate that this evaluation will take place between First and Second Reading. e) Development Applications: In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879 - 1999 as amended: 1. An Official Community Plan Application (Schedule A); 2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C); 3. Multi -Family Residential Development Permit Application (Schedule D); 4. Development Variance Permit (Schedule E); 5. Watercourse Protection Development Permit Application (Schedule F); 6. Natural Features Development Permit Application (Schedule G); The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. CONCLUSION: The development proposal is not in compliance with the Official Community Plan, however, justification has been provided to support an Official Community Plan amendment to amend the Conservation boundary. It is, therefore, recommended that Council grant First Reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to Second Reading. In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an Official Community Plan amendment, it is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the District's website, together with an invitation to the public to comment. It is, therefore recommended that Council not require any additional consultation.

This application is in compliance with the Official Community Plan. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6762-2010 be given Second Reading and be forwarded to Public Hearing; and 2. That the following terms and conditions be met prior to Final Reading. i. Registration of a Rezoning Servicing Agreement as a Restrictive Covenant and receipt of the deposit of security as outlined in the Agreement; ii. Registration of a geotechnical report as a Restrictive Covenant which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed development; Road dedication as required. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Don Schmidt Owner: Brian and Janice Ahonen, Rebecca Awram, Gashaw Abebe and Nancy Johnson Legal Description: Lots 2,3, and 4, Sec. 10 and 11, Tp. 12, NWD Plan 72100 OCP: Existing: Low/Medium Density Residential 1107 Zoning: Existing: Proposed: RS -2 (One Family Suburban Residential) RS -1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Residential Zone: RS -1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) Designation: Low Medium Density Residential South: Use: Residential Zone: RS -2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Designation: Low Medium Density Residential East: Use: Residential Zone: RS -2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Designation: Low Medium Density Residential West: Use: School Zone: P-1 (Park and School) Designation: Institutional Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential Site Area: 1.2 hectares Access: 245 and 245B Streets b) Project Description: The applicant proposes to rezone the properties located at 10455, 10469, and 10481 245B Street from RS -2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to RS -1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) to permit 8 additional lots and retain the original 3 lots for a total of 11 lots. c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The subject sites are located within the Albion Area Plan and are designated Low/Medium Density Residential. The proposed RS -1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zoning complies with the zoning matrix for this designation. Zoning Bylaw: All lots created in this area must meet the minimum requirements of the RS -1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. -2- The following variances from the RS -1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone are proposed: • A reduction in the lot width for 6 of the 8 proposed lots from 15 metres to 14.34 metres. The proposed variances will be the subject of a future report to Council. Development Permits: A Watercourse Protection Development Permit is required for the preservation, restoration and enhancement of the watercourse found in the Storm Right -of -Way between lots 9 and 10. A security will be taken as a condition of the issuance of the Development Permit to ensure that the conditions of the Development Permit are met. d) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: The Engineering Department has reviewed the servicing for the development and has advised that there is no existing sanitary sewer for two of the proposed Tots. It will therefore be necessary for the owner to enter into a Rezoning Servicing Agreement and post securities to complete the work identified in that agreement prior to Final Reading. The Engineering Department has also identified a requirement for road dedication along 245 Street. Building Department: The Building Department has reviewed the proposed project and has identified that a geotechnical restrictive covenant is required due to the existence of some subsurface conditions that may impact the design of house foundations at the Building Permit phase. Parks & Leisure Services Department: The Parks & Leisure Services Department has identified that after the subdivision is completed they will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. In the case of this project it is estimated that there will be an additional 11 trees which is based on one tree per lot; final subdivision design will provide exact numbers. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that the maintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree will increase their budget requirements by $275.00. e) Environmental Implications: A watercourse has been identified in the existing storm sewer right of way. Furthermore, existing hedging and trees have been identified and will be protected through the Watercourse Protection Bylaw under a Restrictive Covenant. -3- CONCLUSION: The proposed RS -lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone complies with the Low/Medium Density Residential designation of the Official Community Plan (Albion Area Plan).

On April 13, 2010, Bylaw No. 6666-2009 was given First Reading by Council. In support of the rezoning, an Official Community Plan Amendment application has been received to re -designate the subject properties from Urban Residential to Industrial on Schedule B of the OCP. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6665-2009 be given first and second reading and be forwarded to Public Hearing; 2. That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6665-2009 be considered in conjunction with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan; 3. That it be confirmed that Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6665- 2009 is consistent with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan; 4. That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6666-2009 be given second reading and be forwarded to Public Hearing; and 5. That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading: i. Registration of a Rezoning Servicing Agreement as a Restrictive Covenant and receipt of the deposit of security as outlined in the Agreement; ii. Amendment to Schedule "B" of the Official Community Plan; iii. Registration of a geotechnical report as a Restrictive Covenant which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed development; iv. Road dedication as required; v. Consolidation of the development site; vi.

The smaller of the two properties contains a small single family house. The site abuts the Canadian Pacific Railway and has three street frontages; Ditton Street, Lorne Avenue and Maple Crescent. The properties are currently split -zoned, M-3 (Business Park Zone) and C-3 (Town Centre Commercial). The applicant is proposing to rezone portions of the subject properties located at 11307 and 11295 Maple Crescent from C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) to M-3 (Business Park Zone) to remove the split -zone and permit the construction of a new two-storey industrial strata building on a consolidated lot. The proposal also includes a "caretaker's suite" in the western building facing Ditton Street. The development as proposed has approximately 20 strata industrial units and would have two vehicular accesses off of Maple Crescent with parking hidden behind the buildings facing the railroad tracks. Separate pedestrian access is provided for each unit off Lorne and Ditton, shared pedestrian access between each set of two units off Maple Crescent. Landscaping has been provided along all three road frontages buffering the buildings from the road. The buildings are staggered along Maple Crescent which aids, along with the vehicle accesses, to break up the visual massing of the building. c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The subject property is currently designated Urban Residential on Schedule B - Generalized Land use in the Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 6425-2006. The proposal calls for an Official Community Plan Amendment to the Industrial designation. The proposed M-3 (Business Park Zone) zoning is consistent with the Industrial designation. Both of the subject properties were formerly designated Industrial in the previous Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 5434-1996. They were re -designated to Urban Residential in the current OCP in anticipation for a multi -family residential development. The proponent made application for a low rise apartment building in 2008 and completed a noise and vibration study for the subject site. The noise was found to be 75 dBA which is classified by CMHC as "unacceptable"- noise exposure so severe that sound insulation costs would be prohibitive and outdoor environment would be excessively noisy. In addition, the measured vibration levels exceeded the CMHC criterion for residential use by over 100%. Although construction measures to mitigate the noise and vibration effects are available, however, they would carry significant additional cost which would no longer make the development project viable. The applicant returned with an industrial warehouse building based the predominant M-3 (Business Park Zone) zoning of the subject sites and requests to return to the previous Industrial land use designation based on the new project proposal. Zoning Bylaw: A preliminary review of the plans in relation to the Zoning Bylaw requirements has revealed that due to the nature of this site, this proposal will require several variances to proceed. -3- As such, a Development Variance Permit application has been received to vary the following: 1. To vary the minimum exterior side yard setback (Maple Crescent) from 4.5 metres to 3.28 metres as proposed. 2. To vary the minimum landscape strip required for an exterior side lot line from 3.0 metres to 2.0 metres as proposed. 3. To vary the minimum interior side yard setback (Railway) from 1.5 metres required to 0.02 metres as proposed. 4. To vary the 5 metre landscape strip required for the south west side of the site the where abuts an urban residential zone (Railway). These variances will be reviewed in a future report to Council. Development Permits: An Industrial Development Permit is required for all new development on land designated Industrial within the urban area boundary as noted in the Official Community Plan. The purpose of the Industrial Development Permit is to promote quality Industrial development through attractive design that is compatible with adjacent development and conforms to the Official Community Plan guidelines. The Development Permit will be the subject of a future report to Council. Advisory Desizn Panel: The proposed project was reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel on December 2009 at which time the panel recommended that the applicant resubmit this application for further Advisory Design Panel review addressing several concerns. The applicant responded to the Panel's concerns and returned to the following meeting in January 2010 where the Panel supported the project moving forward with the following points to be addressed through Planning staff at the Development Permit stage; • Consider protecting the edges of the buildings from truck traffic. • Resolve the conflict between the truck traffic route and the exit doors. • Consider deleting the brackets and the lower canopy and support the canopy from above. • Introduce the same canopy treatment for the middle building. • Reduce the height of the window sills at the lower level to increase visual permeability between the street and the units. • Introduce an Evergreen hedge screen on three sides of the garbage and bike enclosure. Development Information Meeting: The developer hosted two development information meetings for the development on the subject property. The first was held June 17, 2009 for a previous development concept, a four storey mini - storage industrial warehouse. Approximately twelve people attended this meeting. Although many liked the aesthetics of the building, concerns about the increased traffic and project massing relative to the area were raised. -4- The second development information meeting for the proposed two-storey development held on March 29, 2010 from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm at Hammond Community Centre, was held by the property owners and project architect. Three people signed in on the attendance record. Discussion during the meeting was focused on three main community concerns: increased traffic on Maple Crescent, appropriateness for area, and the development's affect of surrounding residential property values. Traffic The developer advised that this is not a development involving retail functionality and that an increase in traffic would be minimal. Parking for the development is also situated at the rear of the property, out of sight from surrounding residences. The community expressed preference for a traffic signal at Lorne Avenue and Maple Crescent for road safety reasons. APoropriateness The developer advised that there is already a mix of various uses along this stretch of Maple Crescent, including residential, commercial and industrial use. The Developer also advised that the scale of the project had been cut in half from their original four storey design, previously presented to the neighbourhood in a Development Information Meeting in June 2009 for better alignment with the rest of the neighbourhood. Property Values The developer noted that an unsightly bare lot would have a new building with nice landscaping, paved sidewalks abutting the property and street lighting which may enhance the property values in the area. d) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: The Engineering Department has identified that all of the services required in support of the rezoning do not exist to the site. It will, therefore, be necessary for the applicant to enter into a Rezoning Development Agreement and post the required security to complete the necessary works prior to final reading. Fire Department: The Fire Department has reviewed the proposed development and has provided the applicant with information on required fire safety plans and fire department connections. These details will be achieved at the Building Permit stage. Parks & Leisure Services Department: The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the development is completed they will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has -5- advised that the maintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree will need to be included in their future budget requirements. e) School District Comments: A referral was sent to School District No. 42 on April 15, 2009; no comments have been received from this referral. f) Canadian Pacific Railway Comments: The Canadian Pacific Railway reviewed a referral of the proposed project in April of 2009 and notes that the proposed project is a more suitable adjacency than a residential -occupancy in terms of noise and vibration. The structure may in fact act to provide some sound attenuation for the residential area to the north of Maple Crescent. In the construction phases, CP would not permit any overhead crane swing over CP lands unless there was an aerial trespass agreement between the developer and CP. Please note that in terms of the structure placement, this project does not adhere to the recommended 30 metre setback from the property line. It is also recommended that an intervening fence be installed at the property line to protect users from entering onto the railway corridor. g) Intergovernmental Issues: Local Government Act: In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act requirement for consultation during the development or amendment of an Official Community Plan, Council has considered at the April 13, 2010 Council Meeting, whether consultation is required with specifically: i. the board of the regional district in which the area covered by the plan is located, in the case of a municipal official community plan; ii. the board of any regional district that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; iii. the council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; iv. first nations; v. school district boards, greater boards and improvements district boards, and vi. the provincial and federal governments and their agencies. and in that regard recommends that no additional consultation be required in respect of this matter beyond theearly posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the District's website, together with an invitation to the public to comment. 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. 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 -6- municipality, First Nations, the School District or agencies of the Federal and Provincial Governments. The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial Plan/Capital Plan and the Waste Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that this application be favourably considered and First and Second Reading be given to Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6665-2009, that Second Reading be given to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6666-2009, and that application RZ/035/08 be forwarded to Public Hearing.

To waive the requirement for underground wiring on 236 Street; 2. To reduce the interior side setback for the existing dwelling on the RS -1d lot; 3. To allow the existing overhead wiring to remain for the existing dwelling on the RS -1d lot. 4. To increase the maximum allowable height of the retaining wall at the rear property line of the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zoned lots (Lots 2 to 8); and 5. To increase the maximum building height for two of the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) lots (Lots 6 and 7). b) Project Description: This development site is located on the east side of 236 Street and south of 118 Avenue. Rezoning application RZ/107/05 has been received to amend the Official Community Plan and to rezone the property from RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District and RS - 1d (One Family Urban (Half Acre) Residential). Eight R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zoned -7- lots are proposed on the 236 Street frontage. One RS -1d (One Family Urban (Half Acre) Residential) zoned lot with an area of approximately 4,600m2 will be accessed by the existing panhandle on 118 Avenue. The existing house will remain on the lot which is located on top of a ridge between two large areas that will be dedicated as Park and has very limited developable potential. Approximately 71% of the site will be dedicated as Park because of the steep slopes and watercourses between the limited developable areas on the site. The Official Community Plan amendment will increase the designated Conservation area to protect Cottonwood Creek and the steep slopes adjacent to it. Applications have also been received for a Subdivision (SD/042/10) for nine lots, an Intensive Residential Development Permit (2011-024-11) for the eight R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) lots fronting onto 236 Street, and for a Watercourse Protection and Natural Feature Development Permit (DP/107/05) for the protection and enhancement of the environmentally sensitive areas of the site. It is expected that Rezoning application RZ/107/05 will be forwarded to Council for final approval at the next Council meeting. The subdivision plan is attached as Appendix B. c) Planning Analysis: 1. The applicant is requesting that the Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw be varied as follows: Schedule A - Services and Utilities: to waive the requirement for underground wiring on 236 Street adjacent to the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zoned lots. The recommendation to waive this servicing requirement is supported in Council Policy 9.05 "Conversion of Existing Overhead Utility Wiring to Underground Wiring". A copy of Council's policy is attached as Appendix C. In support of this variance, the applicant has provided a letter committing to install the underground conduit necessary for the future undergrounding of the existing utility wiring. 2. The applicant is requesting that the Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw be varied as follows: Schedule A - Services and Utilities: to waive the requirement for underground wiring to service the RS -1d (One Family Urban (Half Acre) Residential) zoned lot and allow the existing overhead utility connections from 118 Avenue to remain for the existing dwelling. The existing house on Lot 9 is located a significant distance from the road. It is accessed via a panhandle driveway from 118 Avenue and there will be no further subdivision of the lot. The applicant has requested that the existing overhead utility connections remain because of the excessive cost to relocate them underground. -3- 3. The applicant is requesting that the Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw be varied as follows: Part 6, Section 601 C. (15) (d) ii) for the RS -1d (One Family Urban (Half Acre) Residential) zoned to reduce the interior side setback for the existing house from 2.5 metres on the east side to 2.0 metres while still maintaining the minimum total of both interior side setback to not Tess than 5.5 metres. The applicant has requested that the existing house remain on the site although it is quite close to the top of bank. The new property line on the east side of the house has been located as close as possible to the building to provide the maximum protection of the environmentally sensitive area. A restrictive covenant for habitat protection will be placed on this lot to protect the environmentally sensitive areas on this lot, to prevent any additions to the existing house, and to require that any new dwelling on the lot be relocated to a more suitable location. 4. The applicant is requesting that the Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw be varied as follows: Part 4, Section 403, (8) to increase the maximum exposed height of the retaining wall at the property line from 1.2m (4 `) to a maximum of 2.1m (6.9'). The applicant had originally proposed a two-tier retaining wall at the rear of the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zoned lots. The site grading analysis with their engineer and the Building Department detemined that a single developer -built wall located on the rear property line would provide improved grading and more useable space in the rear yards. The exposed wall will face the park lands behind the lots, and the wall height will vary from less than 1.2m to a maximum height of 2.1m. 5. The applicant is requesting that the Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw be varied as follows: Part 6, Section 601 (F) (1), to vary the maximum height from 9.75m to 10.5m for two of the R-3 zoned lots (Lots 6 and 7). The grading of the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zoned lots fronting 236 Street undulates across the development site and all the lots slope down to the east. The siting of the buildings on Lots 6 and 7 and the final lot grading will result in a small portion of the part of the roof being over the maximum height by approximately 0.5m. Building height variances of up to 11.0m have been supported by Council recently on other R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) developments on sloping sites. d) Engineering Department: A Development Variance Permit is required to support retention of the above -ground utility company plant on the east side of 236 Street. Council Policy is to support such variances. The Engineering Department also supports the above ground utility connections to remain for the RS -1d (One Family Urban (Half Acre) Residential) zoned lot -4- CONCLUSIONS: It is recommended that Development Variance Permit VP/106/10 be approved.

Rezoning application RZ/107/05 has been received to amend the Official Community Plan and to rezone the property from RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District and RS - 1d (One Family Urban (Half Acre) Residential). Eight R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zoned lots are proposed on the 236 Street frontage. One RS -1d (One Family Urban (Half Acre) Residential) zoned lot with an area of approximately 4,600m2 will be accessed by the existing panhandle on 118 Avenue. The existing house will remain on the lot which is located on top of a ridge between two large areas that will be dedicated as Park and has very limited developable potential. Approximately 71% of the site will be dedicated as Park because of the steep slopes and watercourses between the limited developable areas on the site. The Official Community Plan amendment will increase the designated Conservation area to protect Cottonwood Creek and the steep slopes adjacent to it. Applications have also been received for a Subdivision (SD/042/10) for nine lots, a Variance Permit (VP/106/10), and a Watercourse Protection and Natural Feature Development Permit (DP/107/05) for the protection and enhancement of the environmentally sensitive areas of the site. Development Variance Permit application VP/106/10 is the subject of a separate report to Council. The requested variances are: to waive the requirement for the conversion of overhead utility wiring to underground wiring on 236 Street and to the RS -1d zoned lot; to reduce the interior side setback on the east side of the RS -1d lot; to increase the maximum height of the retaining wall at the rear of the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) lots; and to increase the building height on two of the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) lots. It is expected that Rezoning application RZ/107/05 will be forwarded to Council for final approval at the next Council meeting. The subdivision plan is attached as Appendix B. -2- c) Planning Analysis: An Intensive Residential Development Permit is required for all new Intensive Residential development in an area with an Area Plan. Residential development at densities greater than 30 units per net hectare that is typically zoned R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) is considered as intensive residential. The Section 8.8 Intensive Residential Development Permit Area Guidelines of the Official Community Plan aim to provide a greater emphasis on high standards in aesthetics and quality of the built environment while protecting important qualities of the natural environment, with the intent to provide an environment that is safe, attractive, people -friendly and environmentally responsive. 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 landscapes and in recreational areas, and by facilitating a range of transportation choices. The grading of these lots fronting 236 Street undulates across the development site and all the lots slope down to the east and the buildings have been designed to be compatible with the contours of the site. A developer -built retaining wall will be located on the rear property line where these lots back onto parkland and it will provide improved lot grading and more useable space in the rear yards Each of the eight buildings has variations in the detail finishes and colours ensure that identical buildings are not adjacent to each other (Appendix D). The building design elements and materials are chosen to enhance the neighbourhood. Front yard landscaping is provided (Appendix E). For recreational area, the school on 118 Avenue is within close proximity of this development. 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. For visual interest, different building finishes are proposed for each lot and the identical building design will not be repeated within 3 adjacent lots. A streetscape for 236 Street is attached illustrating the variety in the building design (Appendix C). The dwellings each have recessed double garage doors fronting the street, a prominent front entry, and front yard landscaping plans are provided. To the rear of these lots is a large area dedicated as Park for the protection of the slopes and watercourses, so there is no rear lane access to these lots. There is on street parking available on 236 Street. d) Financial Implications: There will be approximately 8 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. -3- CONCLUSION: As the development proposal complies with the Intensive Residential Development Permit Area guidelines of the Official Community Plan for form and character, it is recommended that 2011 -024 -DP be given favourable consideration.

The existing overhead utility system is shown on the attached plan, or 2. There is less than a total of 250 metres of contiguous redevelopment potential fronting both sides of the highway right of way designated on the Official Community Plan. Further, in those cases where undergrounding of existing overhead utility lines is required, and a development has less than 250 metres of frontage on the highway right of way, the developer will service his development with underground dips off the overhead line and deposit with the Municipality sufficient funds to achieve the required undergrounding in the future.

The Official Community Plan amendment will increase the designated Conservation area to protect Cottonwood Creek and the steep slopes adjacent to it. The subject property will be rezoned from RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District, R-1 (Residential District), and RT -1 (Two Family Urban Residential). The Conservation area to the rear of these lots has very recently been dedicated as Park for this application. Rezoning application RZ/096/06 will be forwarded to Council for final approval at the next Council meeting. The subdivision plan is attached as Appendix B. Applications have also been received for a Subdivision (SD/042/10) for 12 lots, a Variance Permit to allow the overhead wiring on 236 Street to remain, and for a Watercourse Protection and Natural Feature Development Permit (DP/042/10) for the protection and enhancement of the environmentally sensitive areas on the site. -2- c) Planning Analysis: An Intensive Residential Development Permit is required for all new Intensive Residential development in an area with an Area Plan. Residential development at densities greater than 30 units per net hectare that is typically zoned R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) is considered as intensive residential. The Section 8.8 Intensive Residential Development Permit Area Guidelines of the Official Community Plan aim to provide a greater emphasis on high standards in aesthetics and quality of the built environment while protecting important qualities of the natural environment, with the intent to provide an environment that is safe, attractive, people -friendly and environmentally responsive. 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 landscapes and in recreational areas, and by facilitating a range of transportation choices. The buildings have been designed to take advantage of the contours of the site, which are level or slight downhill sloped lots. Each of the six buildings has variations in the detail finishes and colours ensure that identical buildings are not adjacent to each other. The building design elements, materials and colour schemes are chosen to enhance the neighbourhood. Front yard landscaping plans are included. The garage doors are recessed from the building face and prominent front entries with porches face the street. For recreational area, there is a school on 118 Avenue within close proximity of this development. 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. For visual interest, there are different building finishes for each lot and the identical building design will not be repeated within 3 adjacent lots. A streetscape for 236 Street is attached illustrating the variety of building design. The dwellings each have recessed double garage doors fronting the street, a prominent front entry, and front yard landscaping plans are provided. To the rear of these lots is a large area dedicated as Park for the protection of the slopes and watercourses, so there is no rear lane access to these lots. There is on street parking available on 236 Street. d) Financial Implications: There will be approximately 10 trees added to the municipal street tree inventory on completion of the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) and R-1 (Residential District) lots in this project. The costs associated with maintaining these trees will need to be included in a subsequent operating budget. -3- CONCLUSION: As the development proposal complies with the Intensive Residential Development Permit Area guidelines of the Official Community Plan for form and character, it is recommended that DP/042/10 be given favourable consideration.

These setback variances are requested to create an urban street wall along Lougheed Highway by bringing the building to the street. The setback variances are supportable as the lot fronts onto 223rd Street, based on the lot dimensions; however, the development is oriented to front Lougheed Highway, which is desirable. -2- Requested variance to the Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 4800 - 1993: • Schedule "B" Minimum Lane Width of 7.5 m The applicant is proposing to vary the minimum width of the lane from 7.5 m to 4.6 m, and to construct the lane without curb and gutter. The lane width variance is supportable, as the applicant has volunteered to place a 1.4 m wide Right -of -Way and Road Reserve Covenant adjacent to the lane. Emergency vehicles will have an access width of at least 6.0 m and the District will have the opportunity to purchase this portion of the property in the future. Under Policy 5-10 of the Town Centre Area Plan it states that "Laneways should have a maximum paved width of 6.0 m." Therefore, the applicant's offer to provide this covenant and Right -of -Way will support the District's desire for a laneway that is no more than 6.0 m wide. A similar variance was also approved for the recently constructed building located immediately to the east of the subject property. Requested variance to the Maple Ridge Off -Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No. 4350 - 1990: • Part IV Off -Street Parking Design Section 4.1 (a) Off-street parking spaces: i) Shall be clearly marked and not less than b) a maximum of 10% of the parking spaces in any off-street parking area may be 2.4 m wide, 4.9 m long and 2.1 m high where such spaces are clearly marked "Small Cars Only" The applicant is proposing to vary the number of allowable "Small Cars Only" parking stalls from 10% to 15% (from five stalls to eight stalls). Out of the eight stalls being proposed for "Small Cars Only", seven stalls are for the residential component, and one is for the visitor component. This variance is supportable as on -street parking is available in the area and the development incorporates the required "long-term" and "short-term" bicycle spaces required. f) Alternatives: Council can reject Development Variance Permit 2011 -042 -VP on the grounds that they feel the development permit guidelines have not been met. If so, the accompanying Development Permit 2011 -042 -DP cannot be approved in its current form and will need to be re-evaluated to conform to the guidelines. -3- CONCLUSIONS: The variances requested are considered to be acceptable based on the reasoning above. It is therefore recommended that Council approve Development Variance Permit 2011-042-DVP.

The applicant is proposing a six -storey (five storeys of wood frame on top of one storey of concrete), mixed-use commercial and 43 unit residential building with one and a half levels of underground parking. In support of the Development Permit, the applicant has also applied for a Development Variance Permit to vary the setback requirements of the C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) zone, to retain the existing lane width, and to increase the number of allowable "Small Cars Only" parking stalls. RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2011 -042 -DP respecting the property located at the south-east corner of 223rd Street and Lougheed Highway. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Owner: Wayne Stephen Bissky Architecture and Urban Designs 0891551 BC Ltd. Legal Description: Lot 43, District Lot 398, Plan 2899; and Lot 44, District Lot 398, Plan 2899 (to be consolidated) OCP: Existing: Proposed: Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Town Centre Commercial Town Centre Commercial C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) Surrounding Uses North: Use: Commercial and Residential Zone: C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) Designation Town Centre Commercial South: Use: Commercial Zone: C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) Designation: Town Centre Commercial 1114 East: West: Use: Zone: Designation: Use: Zone: Designation: Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Access: Servicing: Lot Size: Previous Applications: Accompanying Applications: b) Project Description: Commercial C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) Town Centre Commercial Commercial C-3 (Town Centre Commercial), CD -2-85 (Comprehensive Development), CS -2 (Service Station Commercial) Town Centre Commercial Vacant Mixed-use commercial and residential Lane to the south of Lougheed Highway Full urban servicing to be provided 1286.9 m2 N/A 2011 -42 -VP The applicant is proposing a six -storey (five storeys of wood frame on top of one storey of concrete), mixed-use commercial and 43 unit residential building, with one and a half levels of underground parking. The development is intended to act as a gateway to the downtown area through its scale and massing. The building steps down to the east as a transition to the lower scale buildings beyond. The pedestrian realm is focused along Lougheed Highway and 223rd Street through texture, scale, and detailing. The change in materials from the main floor to the upper floor reinforces this, and is intended to clearly define the commercial from the residential uses. The Building Code for this type of construction requires a continuity of bearing lines through the building; hence the "stacking" and resulting vertical expression. Strong masonry colours contrast with a soft palette for the cementitious siding above, which has also been applied with subtle variety on the elevations. Underground parking is provided for the required 55 stalls (three of which are for visitors, and 11 of which are for the commercial component), with eight of the stalls being proposed for "small cars only" (seven of which are for the residential component, and one of which is for the visitor component). The proposal has also incorporated the required 13 "long-term" bicycle spaces in the underground parking area (11 of which are for the residential component, and two of which are for the commercial component) and has provided for the required 17 "short-term" spaces (13 of which are for the residential component, and four of which are for the commercial component) at the front of the building and to the rear of the building on the main floor patio, where there are also entrances to the residential and commercial units. As noted in the accompanying Development Variance Permit report, the two lots will need to be consolidated and a Statutory Right -of -Way and Road Reserve Covenant will need to be registered for the area adjacent to the lane to provide the appropriate emergency vehicle access width from the lane. Signed documents supporting the consolidation, Right -of -Way, Covenant, and a Letter of Undertaking from the applicant's solicitor ensuring registration will be required prior to issuing the Development Permit. -2- c) Planning Analysis: Town Centre Development Permit -- South of Lougheed (SOLO) Precinct The proposed development is in the South of Lougheed (SOLO) Precinct. The SOLO Precinct is located immediately south of the Lougheed Highway corridor, from the western Town Centre boundary to its eastern -most boundary. The area serves as a key transportation and transit corridor for Maple Ridge, supporting commercial, mixed-use commercial and higher density residential development along its route. Key Guideline Concepts being met by this development: 1. Develop a diverse shopping, employment and residential district The proposed mixed-use development provides commercial, office, and residential space. 2. Create a pedestrian -oriented streetscapes The building is pedestrian -oriented through canopies, wall textures and access. The building is also brought right to the property line, with commercial and office units on the main level. 3. Enhance the quality, character and vibrancy of SOLO Commercial units are provided on the main level, ensuring activity, where currently the site is vacant. The frame is constructed of wood for the five residential levels, which is a renewable resource. 4. Maintain cohesive building styles Brick material is emphasized on the main level, with hardyboard, glass balcony railings, and generous glazing provided throughout. The design of the building is consistent with the new commercial building to the east. 5. Capitalize on important views The building's height and the natural grade elevation of the property will provide excellent views in all directions. 6. Provide public outdoor space The walkway and patio provided at the rear of the building allow the public to enjoy the southern exposure and potential outdoor activities. 7. Provide climate appropriate landscaping and green features Clean and contemporary landscaping is provided. -3- 8. Maintain street interconnectivity The building is brought up to the front lot line to increase the building's street presence and increase the sense of street enclosure on Lougheed Highway. Parking is located underground and access to the parking is located to the rear, from the lane. There are certain development guidelines and green building techniques not being met by the proposed development, including public art, the use of exterior sun shading devices, and the use of infiltration and low -impact stormwater features. These features can be revisited at the structural drawing stage of the development to determine what would be feasible and incorporated into the development. There will be detention onsite, however the details of the detention has yet to be determined. d) Advisory Design Panel: At the meeting of May 10, 2011, the Advisory Design Panel supported the general concept, but recommended the following concerns be addressed: • Increase soil depth of tree planters; • Consider different material of choice for planter walls; • Ensure that tree planters are mechanically drained; • Consider the addition of street trees at island bulbs on 223rd Street; • Consider replacing the Tony Aster with a hedge species; • Consider planting strip along the west elevation brick wall; • Consider signage and canopy at south commercial elevation; • Consider stepping down the south corner of the 5th floor; • Consider making the commercial elevation facing Lougheed Highway more permeable; and reduce extent of railings; • Place more emphasis on the residential entrance, distinct from adjacent commercial; • Consider garbage compactor for residential component; • Show reveals and through wall flashings at hardy panels; • Clarify the location of color changes on exterior wall panels; • Consider outdoor amenity space on 5th floor east side; • Consider articulation of roof line with raised portions of parapet; and • Consider color of window frames to match railings. The applicant has addressed all of the above concerns, as reflected in the attached plans and elevations. e) Financial Implications: In accordance with Council's Landscape Security Policy, a refundable security equivalent to 100% of the estimated landscape cost will be provided to ensure satisfactory provision of landscaping in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Development Permit. Based on an estimated landscape cost of $20,109.00, the security will be $20,109.00. -4- f) Alternatives: Council approval is required for all commercial development in the Town Centre Development Permit Area prior to issuance of a Building Permit. Council can reject Development Permit 2011 -042 -DP on the grounds that they feel the development permit guidelines have not been met. Accompanying Development Variance Permit 2011 -042 -VP has been submitted to vary the minimum setbacks, lane width and "Small Cars Only" parking. Council approval of the variances is required prior to approval of the Development Permit. If Council does not support the requested variances, the Development Permit cannot be approved in its current form. CONCLUSION: As the development proposal generally complies with the Town Centre Development Permit Area Guidelines, it is recommended that 2011 -042 -DP be favourably considered. -4,147 Prepared by.

The applicant qualifies under Policy 11 of the Agricultural Land Commission Act for Homesite Severance. This policy provides for "aging in place" for long term residents in the Agricultural Land Reserve, by allowing the subdivision of smaller parcels for rural residential purposes while retaining larger land parcels for agricultural purposes. Due to the specific circumstances of this application, the enabling provisions under Section 946 of the Local Government Act allow for the creation of parcels that do not comply with minimum parcel size in the Zoning Bylaw. RECOMMENDATION: That Application AL/038/07 be authorized to proceed to the Agricultural Land Commission with the understanding that if required for site servicing needs, the homesite parcel may need to be larger than proposed. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Owner: Harold A Sinow Harold A Sinow, Nona J Sinow Legal Description: Lot: 4, Section: 30, Township: 12, Plan: 3305 OCP: Existing: Agricultural Proposed: No Change Zoning: Existing: A-2 (Upland Agricultural) Proposed: No Change Surrounding Uses North: Use: Farm Zone: A-2 Upland Agriculture Designation: Agricultural 1115 South: East: West: Use: Zone: Designation: Use: Zone: Designation: Use: Zone: Designation: Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Site Area: Access: Servicing: Previous Applications: b) Project Description: Farm A-2 Upland Agriculture Agricultural 2 properties, rural residential A-2 Upland Agriculture Agricultural Farm A-2 Upland Agriculture Agricultural Farm and rural residential no change 3.9 hectare (9.64 acre) 132 Avenue community water, on site septic None The property is part of a long time farm. The property owners have owned the property since before the creation of the Agricultural Land Reserve. They plan to subdivide off a homesite parcel for residential and retirement purposes, while allowing most of the parcel to be acquired by their daughter, who intends to maintain and improve the existing farm operation. An application under these circumstances meets the conditions of homesite severance by the Agricultural Land Commission. c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan Two policies of the Official Community Plan are of particular relevance to this application. The following excerpt from Policy 6-12 of the Official Community Plan states that: Maple Ridge will protect the productivity of its agricultural land by:... discouraging the subdivision of agricultural land into smaller parcels, except where positive benefits to agriculture can be demonstrated; This application demonstrates positive benefits to agriculture by retaining most of the subject property in active farming. The prospective purchaser of the proposed remainder portion has farm status according to BC Assessment and runs a long standing farming operation. It is anticipated that this proposal will assist in ensuring the continued agricultural use of the larger portion of the subject property in perpetuity. Policy 6-9 of the Official Community Plan relates more specifically to the Provincial Policy Framework supporting agriculture. It states: Maple Ridge supports the policies and regulations of the Agricultural Land Commission Act and the Farm Practices Protection Act in its land uses and will review its bylaws affecting farmland and farm operations for consistency with these provincial acts, regulations, and guidelines. -2- This application may be viewed as a unique case that meets specific policy guidelines of the Agricultural Land Commission and assists in retaining the larger portion of the subject property in active production. Homesite severance provisions provide retiring farmers with aging in place opportunities while minimizing the parcelization of farm properties. The following homesite severance guidelines pertain to this application: 1. Only one application per property, and the owner must provide evidence of continuous occupation since December 21, 1972; 2. Previous subdivisions on the subject property may by considered by the Commission to have fulfilled the objectives of the Homesite Severance Policy and further applications may be denied on this basis; 3. The applicant must provide evidence showing a legitimate intention to sell the remainder of the property upon the approval of the "homesite severance" application. Acceptable evidence includes an interim agreement for sale, a prospective buyer's written statement of intent to purchase, or a real estate listing; 4. The existing homesite may be created as a separate parcel where it is of a minimum size compatible with the character of the property but is exempt from having to meet minimum parcel size under its zoning; 5. The remainder of the subject property after the homesite severance must be of a size and configuration that will, in the Commission's opinion, either constitute a suitable agricultural parcel, or be consolidated with adjacent farm property, or have a "no build" covenant registered on it prohibiting residential buildings; 6. On approving a "homesite severance", the Commission will require that the homesite is not to be resold for five years except in the case of estate settlements. The owner must provide the Commission with a contractual commitment to this effect; and 7. Approved "homesite severance" applications qualify under Section 946 of the Local Government Act insofar as compliance with local bylaws is concerned. This legislation relaxes the minimum parcel size for qualifying properties that are within the Agricultural Land Reserve. However, any parcel created by subdivision under this section must be at least 1 hectare unless a smaller area, in no case less than 2 500 m2, is approved by the medical health officer. The submitted application complies with these guidelines of the Agricultural Land Commission. The owner has resided on the property since before the creation of the Agricultural Land Reserve. The homesite portion as proposed is the minimum lot size allowed under Section 946 of the Local Government Act at 0.25 hectares (.61 acres) It is noted that such a small parcel will require approval from the Health Authority. As this issue has not been fully explored at this time it is noted that the homesite parcel may need to be increased to meet servicing needs. The remaining parcel, should this application be successful, will be approximately 3.65 hectares. For this remainder, a letter stating intent to purchase has been provided by the property owner's daughter. Agricultural Plan The specific aspects of this proposal whereby the farming interests get passed on to the next generation are particularly relevant to the section of the Agricultural Plan titled: Issue 2: Gaps in the Knowledge Base of Farmers. This section notes that the sector is threatened by a combination of aging farmers without succession potential, the reluctance of established 3 farmers to try innovative approaches, and the inexperience of new farmers who may not have the critical farming knowledge necessary for business success. This proposal includes intergenerational succession, with the children of the property owners purchasing these holdings and continuing the family business. Zoning Bylaw / Local Government Act The subject property is zoned A-2 Upland Agricultural, which has a minimum parcel size of 4 hectares (10 acres). At 3.9 hectares, the property does not comply with minimum parcel size in this zone. Under most circumstances, this proposal could not be realized, as the property does not meet meet minimum parcel size. However, a subdivision approved under the Commission's home site severance policy would be eligible to create parcels of a size that would otherwise not be approvable due provisions in the Zoning Bylaw. The legal mechanism that enables this subdivision may be found in Section 946 of the Local Government Act. This legislation establishes a minimum parcel size of 1 hectare unless a smaller area, in no case less than 2,500 m2, is approved by the medical health officer. Legal opinion confirms that this legislation applies both to the homesite parcel and to the remainder. Additional Considerations: If this application is successful, a municipal subdivision application will be required in order to complete this development proposal. Prior to approval, the applicant would have to demonstrate compliance with septic disposal for the homesite parcel and its remainder. It is possible, that the homesite parcel may have to be increased from the proposed 2,500 m2, in order to meet servicing requirements. d) Alternatives: As with all applications by property owner to the Agricultural Land Commission, Council has the option to deny forwarding this application, in which case the application will be considered denied and closed. CONCLUSION: This application for subdivision with the Agricultural Land Reserve complies with the conditions for homesite severance, which provides long term farm operators with the opportunity to retire while still remaining in their homes. For this reason, this application should be viewed in a different light than other applications for subdivision within the Agricultural Land Reserve, which are discouraged by the policies of the Official Community Plan. -4- The recommendation is to allow this application to proceed to the Agricultural Land Commission, with the understanding that should this application be successful, the application will have to comply with municipal requirements for subdivision.

The property owners are applying under Policy 11 of the Agricultural Land Commission Act for a Homesite Severance. The .25 hectares that is under application to subdivide is not useable farmland, it consists of the farm house, pool, yard and parking. The property is part of a long running family farm. The property owner has been the owner of this property since 1965 and maintained this property as their residency prior to the creation of the Agricultural Land Reserve. The home owner wishes to subdivide off the homesite parcel for residential and retirement purposes, while allowing most of the parcel to be sold to their eldest daughter. The Farmers, Harald Sinow, 76 years old has a spinal cord injury which has left him with limited mobility and Nona Sinow, 70 years old had a bilateral mastectomy three years ago. Due to these unfortunate circumstances Harald and Nona are not able to continue to produce a productive farm on their own. However, they wish to remain in their family home that Harald built with his own two hands and raised their four children in. The eldest daughter (Greta Sinow), and her family currently volunteers their time in an attempt to maintain the agricultural productivity of the land but finds this a burden as this is not their primary residence. They wish to expand the existing blueberry crop which will increase the percentage of land used for agriculture. On the sketch you will see how Greta Sinow intends to improve agriculture on this property while leaving a minimal footprint. Thank you for your consideration, a- Har.Id and Nona Sinow l'6 A i 6 11-05-03 To whom it may concern: If the home site severance is granted for Nona's and Harald's Sinow's property located in Maple Ridge at 22158 132 Ave, I, Greta Sinow, intend to purchase the remaining property. Sincerely, Greta Sinow MAPLE RIDE O3rILL5T CotImhia Deep Roots Greater Heights DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin DATE: June 20, 2011 and Members of Council FILE NO: 2011 -010 -SD FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W SUBJECT: 5% Money in Lieu of Parkland Dedication 26280 126 Avenue EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The above noted subdivision is subject to the provisions of the Local Government Act regarding parkland dedication or payment in lieu of dedication. It is recommended that Council require payment in lieu of parkland dedication for property located at 26280 126 Avenue. RECOMMENDATION: That pursuant to Council's policy regarding 5% Parkland Dedication or payment in lieu, be it resolved that the owner of land proposed for subdivision at 26280 126 Avenue, under application 2011 -010 -SD, shall pay to the District of Maple Ridge an amount that is not less than $97,100. 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: 1. Provide park land or an amount not to exceed 5% of the land being subdivided in a location acceptable to Council; or 2. 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, the area is dedicated as 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 Parkland Acquisition Reserve Fund, which enables the District to purchase areas deemed important for habitat protection but where the ability to achieve parkland through development is limited, such as the Blaney Bog. 1116 -1- In this particular instance a watercourse is located on the subject property; however the Parks Department has determined that parkland surrounding the watercourse would be isolated from road access and difficult to maintain. Therefore, it is recommended that land surrounding the watercourse be protected by a Habitat Protection Covenant and 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 Equity Valuations and Consulting Services Ltd has stated that the market value of the land is $1,942,000.00 which indicates that the 5% value of this property is $97,100.00. CONCLUSION: As parkland surrounding the property's watercourse would be isolated from road access and difficult to maintain, it is recommended that Council require payment in lieu of parkland dedication as prescribed in the appraisal.

The objective of the project is to improve pedestrian safety issues that have been raised by the community. In doing so, the project will also improve the roadway and boulevard drainage. The works include constructing a concrete curb and gutter and asphalt sidewalk on the north side to accommodate pedestrians, storm sewer main, catch basins, lawn basins and some storm service connections. With the raised new sidewalk, it will also be necessary to partially reconstruct many of the residential driveways to match the grades. Tenders closed on May 31, 2011 with eleven (11) bids received. The lowest compliant bid of $352,868.72 excluding taxes was submitted by 651432 BC Ltd (Universal Contracting). Engineering staff has evaluated the tenders and recommend that the contract be awarded to Universal Contracting. RECOMMENDATION: THAT Contract ITT-EN11-25, 124 Avenue Road and Drainage Improvements (Laity Street to 216 Street), be awarded to 651432 BC Ltd (Universal Contracting) in the amount of $352,868.72 plus taxes; and THAT the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the contract. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: 124 Avenue, also referred to as "Shady Lane", between Laity Street and 216 Street is a narrow roadway with no sidewalks. Over the years, residents have expressed concerns for pedestrian safety on 124 Avenue due to the limited boulevard space. In 2010, Council approved a project to construct a concrete curb and gutter and asphalt sidewalk on the north side. There are large mature trees close to the road edge on the south side making it difficult to construct a sidewalk on the south side without impacting these trees. During storm events, the boulevards become saturated and water collects at various locations along 124 Avenue. To alleviate this drainage issue, the existing storm sewer will be extended and catch basins installed. For property owners who currently do not have a storm service connection, services will be installed to the property line and made available for them to connect to upon payment of a connection charge. 1117 117 The 124 Avenue Road and Drainage Improvements Project was designed by Engineering Department staff and the project was tendered from May 12 to May 31, 2011. Tender results Eleven tenders were received and opened in public, and the six lowest tenders are listed below from lowest to highest price. 651432 BC Ltd. (Universal Contracting) Martens Asphalt Ltd. Sandpiper Contracting LLP TAG Construction Ltd. Keywest Asphalt Ltd. Double M Excavating Ltd. Tender Price (excluding taxes) $352,868.72 $421,620.80 $426,863.60 $455,099.00 $458,470.00 $486,664.43 Staff has evaluated the tenders, and carried out reference checks on Universal Contracting. The contractor has completed similar projects in Surrey and Chilliwack and is qualified to do the work. As such, staff recommends that the contract be awarded to Universal Contracting. b) Desired Outcome: The desired outcome of this report is to obtain Council's approval to proceed with the work during the summer. c) Strategic Alignment: The 124 Avenue Road and Drainage Improvements Project will improve pedestrian safety and drainage, and is in alignment with the strategic focus areas of safe and livable community, transportation, and environment. d) Citizens/Customer Implications: An Open House was held on February 24, 2011 to show the conceptual design and inform the public of the upcoming works and schedule. On May 9, 2011, letters were sent to property owners updating them on the design and schedule. Many driveways will have to be regraded to match the sidewalk as stated in the letter and staff will work to minimize property impact during construction. Because of the narrow road width, property owners have also been advised that temporary road closures will likely occur during construction. The road will be kept open for local traffic and emergency vehicles. Staff will place notices in the local newspaper advising of the temporary road closure. Construction is estimated to be completed in approximately 2 to 3 months. Property owners have also been informed of the approximate service connection cost. They will be required to pay should they require connection to the storm sewer system. Project staff will discuss the communications plan with the Communications Manager. e) Interdepartmental Implications: Various departments have been and will continue to be involved in this project. The Operations Department has provided input during the design stage. A site visit with the Parks Department was conducted during the design stage to minimize impact to the trees. In addition, Environmental staff will visit the site prior to construction. f) Business Plan/Financial Implications: The contractor will be installing service connections as part of the contract because it is much more efficient to construct them now rather than installing them as properties tie into the system. The incremental cost of these 27 service connections is $42,000. This cost will be charged to a private connections expense account and be recovered when the properties decide to connect to the system. It is expected that over time, most if not all will connect to the system. The Amanda property system would be flagged with this cost to ensure that it is captured at the time of the connection. This has an impact to the annual General Revenue surplus initially. Based on this approach, the project will be completed within the approved budget amounts. CONCLUSIONS: The tender price of $352,868.72 excluding taxes, by Universal Contracting for the 124 Avenue Road and Drainage Improvements (Laity Street to 216 Street) is the lowest tendered price. Council approval to award the work to Universal Contracting is recommended. Prepared by: Rkcharg. IIpnager of Design & Construction Reviewed by: Andrew Wood, PhD., PEng.

The need for a formal Cross Connection Control Program (CCCP) is identified in the Province of British Columbia's Drinking Water Protection Regulation section 22(3) "an assessment response plan must include provisions to identify, eliminate and prevent cross connections with non -potable water sources". In November 2005 a risk assessment by the Municipal Insurance Association of the District of Maple Ridge water distribution system recommended the implementation of a Cross Connection Control Program. Fraser Health's 2008, 2009, and 2010 Water Distribution System Inspections for the District of Maple Ridge acknowledged the progress of our program and noted an expectation to implement the program within the next few years. In order to commence the program amendments the Water Service Bylaw is required. RECOMMENDATION(S): That Bylaw No. 6825-2011 be given first, second and third readings. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: The 2011 Business Plans include the development and implementation of a Cross Connection Central Program for the municipal water system. In March 2011, Council were provided with a detailed presentation on the proposed program for Maple Ridge. A cross connection is any actual or potential connection between a potable water pipe and a non -potable fluid, solid or gas. Backflow is a flow in reverse from the normal direction of flow in a piping system. The Provincial Government, through the Drinking Water Protection Act and the Drinking Water Protection Regulations, have mandated that municipalities complete an assessment response plan which includes provisions to identify, eliminate and prevent cross connections with non -potable sources. The obvious goal is to ensure safe drinking water to the public. The District's municipal water system operates under a permit from the Fraser Health Authority. This permit is renewed annually. In order to obtain the permit, progress on the Cross Connection Control Program must continue to be demonstrated. 1118 b) Desired Outcome(s): The goal is to continue to provide safe, potable water to the residents and businesses in Maple Ridge. The objective is a full implementation of a comprehensive Cross Connection Control Program over the next five to seven years. c) Citizen/Customer Implications: Over the past three years the inspection of municipal facilities has been completed. AH deficiencies have been corrected. The proposed program will include the inspection of places of business. Inspections will include all existing plumbing. Prioritization will be applied to the potential level of exposure based on business activity. A communications plan is being developed to inform business of the program. d) Business Plan/Financial Implications: The program administration funding has been previously approved through business planning and annual budgets. The costs to correct any identified deficiencies will be borne by the individual business or premise owner. e) Policy Implications: To proceed with the program, an amendment to the Water Service Bylaw is required. An operation procedure manual has been developed for implementation. f) Alternatives: Defer the development and implementation of a CCCP, this could risk the issuance of our Permit to Operate for the water distribution system by Fraser Health CONCLUSIONS: The groundwork for a Cross Connection Control Program in the District of Maple Ridge has been completed with draft docurrtjent-,developed, a program manual and an audit of the District of Maple Ridge Facilities buildings are complete. The next steps will bring compliance with Provincial Regulation. To proceed to the ne.'

PRESIDING MEMBER CORPORATE OFFICER MAPLE RIDGE British Columbia Deep Roots Greater Heights District of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin MEETING DATE: June 20, 2011 and Members of Council FILE NO: E03-008-001 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W SUBJECT: Water Shortage Response Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6836-2011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Greater Vancouver Water District (GVWD) prepared a Water Shortage Response Plan (WSRP) in 1993 as a tool to reduce demand for water during summer months and in the event of water shortages due to unforeseen emergency situations at any time of the year. Building on the original plan, the GVWD Board recently approved a revision which allows for the efficient use of water distribution infrastructure by spreading lawn sprinkling demands more evenly throughout the week. For consistency in the adoption and enforcement of the revised WSRP throughout the region, Metro Vancouver member municipalities are undertaking to incorporate the WSRP revisions into their existing water shortage response bylaws. RECOMMENDATION: THAT Maple Ridge Water Shortage Response Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6836-2011 be given first, second and third readings. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Water use in Maple Ridge increases from approximately 26 million litres per day during the winter to approximately 69 million litres per day at the height of summer. The increased demand is mainly attributed to outdoor water uses. The District's existing Water Shortage Response Plan Bylaw No. 6307-2005 is intended to manage the demand for drinking water during summer months and if necessary during emergencies. The GVWD documents the importance of controlling water demands in their 2011 Water Shortage Response Plan, noting that: • Rainfall is lowest and demand is highest in summer • Storage, transmission and distribution system capacities are limited • Continued population and industrial growth have led to increased demand • Water shortages may result from unforeseen emergency situations (e.g. earthquakes, major service disruptions, etc.) 1119 In March 2011, the GVWD Board approved a revision to the regional WSRP designed to ease summer demands by spreading lawn sprinkling activities throughout the entire week. Whereas previously residential lawns could be watered during two periods of the day on two days of the week, the new plan calls for sprinkling during only one period of the day, three days a week. Furthermore, whereas the old plan promulgated different sprinkling days for even and odd addresses, the new plan goes further. Under the proposed plan, different sprinkling days will be allocated to: • even residential addresses (Monday, Wednesday, Saturday) • odd residential addresses (Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday) • even non-residential addresses (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) • odd non-residential addresses (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday) On days when both residential and non-residential uses are permittted, sprinkling times will be offset. Non-residential sprinkling will occur between 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., while residential sprinkling will occur between 4:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. b) Desired Outcome: The purpose of the proposed bylaw is to implement revisions to the regional Water Shortage Response Plan approved by the GVWD in March 2011. c) Citizen/Customer Implications: The proposed bylaw amendment should have little to no effect on citizens/customers using automated sprinkler systems. Those using manual systems may experience some inconvenience if they prefer to irrigate their lawns in the evening rather than in the morning. However, the inconvenience would be mitigated by the additional permitted sprinkling day, Metro Vancouver/District of Maple Ridge communications activities, and delayed enforcement until June of 2012. The proposed new regulations were recently published in the local newspapers. d) Interdepartmental Implications: Currently, the violations of water sprinkling regulations when in effect are dealt with under the Municipal Information Ticketing system. No adverse implications are anticipated. e) Business Plan/Financial Implications: Water conservation through appropriate regulations saves money and delays capital outlays for major facilities required to meet increasing water supply demands. It is thus prudent to support water conservation measures. f) Policy Implications: The Maple Ridge Water Shortage Response Plan By-law No. 6307-2005 would be amended as described in this report. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed bylaw revision will support the regional Water Shortage Response Plan in allowing for the efficient use of water distribution infrastructure by spreading lawn sprinkling demands more evenly throughout the week. Adopting the by-law revisions will also maintain the District's alignment with other Metro Vancouver member municipalities in the consistent application of Water Shortage Response regulations.

Cash and investments Cash and Temporary Investments: Cash and temporary investments as at December 31, 2010 were comprised as follows: Dec 31, 2010 Dec 31, 2009 Cash $ 3,062,549 $ 4,327,645 Temporary Investments 27.000.050 24,969,122 $ 30,062,599 $ 29,296,767 Temporary investments are bank term deposits, Guaranteed Investment Certificates and Federal Government Backed Notes with effective interest rates of 1.8%-1.96%. Additionally, the District holds temporary investments of $1,443,453 ($1,460,400 for 2009) and agreements receivable of $159,918 ($94,940 for 2009) for trusts which are not reported elsewhere in the financial statements. They are held for the following trusts: Latecomer Fees Cemetery Perpetual Care Greater Vancouver Sewer & Drainage District Albion Dyking District Balance Dec 31, 2009 Interest Earned Receipts Disbursements Dec 31, 2010 Balance $ 62,932 $ - $ 61,673 $ 710,551 84,888 63,511 475,945 - 539,657 65,546 $ 84,888 674,771 59,059 774,062 340,831 305.912 167 127,533 4.193 429,419 1.555.340 $ 85.055 $ 792,374 $ 829,398 $ 1 603 371 Portfolio Investments Portfolio investments include Federal Government Backed Bonds and Bank Notes with effective interest rates of 2.40% - 6.43%. They also include equity linked Bank Notes which do not have a stated rate of return. For these investments, income is recognized as it is received; in 2010 returns were positive and ranged to 4.17%. The District does not hold any asset backed commercial paper or hedge funds. The carrying value of securities is based on the cost method whereby the cost of the security is adjusted to reflect investment income that is accruing and any permanent decline in market value. During the term of individual investments there will be fluctuations in market values. Such fluctuations are considered normal, and if held to maturity, market value will be equal to face value. The carrying value of Portfolio Investments at December 31, 2010 was $ 78,858,466 ($ 83,669,160 for 2009). The market value at December 31, 2010 was $80,409,332 ($88,659,599 for 2009), included in this amount is $500,000 ($992,590 for 2009) for securities shown at cost for investments for which there is no active market. 2.

Recoverable Local Improvements The District provides interim financing for certain geographically localized capital projects. It recovers these amounts either from benefiting property owners or from provincial subsidies. Interest rates are established at the outset of the process and are a function of borrowing rates at the time. Repayment is typically made over fifteen years. As at December 31, 2009 the recoverable balance was comprised as follows: 2010 2009 Recoverable from property owners Local improvement fund projects Recoverable from Province Sewerage projects $ 2,216,485 $ 2,301,734 124.187 124.187 $ 2.340,672 $ 2,425,921 4. Pension Plan The District and its employees contribute to the Municipal Pension Plan (Plan), a jointly trusteed pension plan. The Board of Trustees, representing plan members and employers, is responsible for overseeing the management of the Plan, including investment of the assets and administration of benefits. The Plan is a multi-employer contributory pension plan. Basic pension benefits provided are defined. The plan has about 163,000 active members and approximately 60,000 retired members. Active members include approximately 35,000 contributors from local governments. Every 3 years an actuarial valuation is performed to assess the financial position of the Plan and the adequacy of Plan funding. The most recent valuation as at December 31, 2009 indicated an unfunded liability of $1,024 million for basic pension benefits. The next valuation will be as at December 31, 2012 with results available in 2013. The actuary does not attribute portions of the unfunded liability to individual employers.. The District paid $2,099,231 (2009 - $1,860,751) for employer contributions while employees contributed $1,727,051 (2009 - $1,570,922) to the plan in fiscal 2010. 5.

Long Term Debt (Schedule 1) Long Term Debt is reported net of Sinking Fund balances and interest expense is reported net of Sinking Fund earnings. The District carries no debt for others. The Debenture debt issued and outstanding as at December 31, 2010 was $ 40,383,494 ($42,229,302 for 2009). The following debenture debt amounts plus related interest are payable over the next five year: 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 1,779,974 1,814,777 1,850,562 1,887,357 1,925,191 The District has the following authorized but un -issued long term debt as at December 31, 2010: L/A Bylaw L/A Amount Expiry Date # 6558 $ 6,000,000 July 2013 # 6559 1,520,000 July 2013 # 6560 900,000 July 2013 #6561 10,671,185 July 2013 #6562 2,675,000 July 2013 #6679 1,800,000 September 2014 #6680 4.680.000 September 2014 $ 28.246.185 7. Other Assets Debt Reserve Fund: The Municipal Finance Authority of British Columbia provides capital financing for regional districts and their member municipalities. The Authority is required to establish a Debt Reserve Fund. Each regional district, through its member municipalities who share in the proceeds of a debt issue, is required to pay into the Debt Reserve Fund certain amounts set out in the debt agreements. The Authority pays into the Debt Reserve Fund these monies from which interest earned thereon less administrative expenses becomes an obligation to the regional districts. It must then use this fund, if at any time there are insufficient funds, to meet payments on its obligations. If this occurs, the regional districts may be called upon to restore the fund. Upon the maturity of a debt issue the unused portion of the Debt Reserve Fund established for that issue will be discharged to the District. The District•has estimated that there is only a remote possibility that these funds will not be paid to it and therefore these funds have been included in Other Assets of $590,720 ($579,020 for 2009). 8. Employee Future Benefits The District provides employee future benefits in the form of severance benefits and vested and non -vested sick leave to qualifying employees. These benefits are not separately funded. Severance benefits are cash settlements paid to employees who cease their employment with the District after specified period of time. Full time employees hired before February 11, 1999 qualify for five days pay per year of employment, provided they either work a minimum of 20 years with the District or retire as defined by the Public Sector Pension Plan Act. Full time employees hired after February 11, 1999 qualify for 20 days pay provided they work a minimum of 10 years with the District and retire as defined by the Public Sector Pension Plan Act. The District permits full time employees to accumulate up to 18 days per year of service for future illnesses up to a maximum of 250 days. For certain qualifying employees a portion of this benefit vests; for the balance this benefit does not vest and cannot be converted to any other type of benefit. District of Maple Ridge - Financial Statements Page 13 of 31 An actuarial valuation of these benefits was performed to determine the District's liability and accrued benefit obligation as at December 31, 2009 and updated for December 31, 2010. The valuation resulted in an unamortized actuarial loss of $486,900 ($177,000 loss for 2009 at December 31, 2010. Actuarial gains or losses are amortized over the expected average remaining service life of employees. The benefit liability at December 31, 2010 was $4,411,500, ($4,468,700 for 2009) comprised as follows: Benefit Liability - Beginning of the year Add: Current service costs Interest on accrued benefit obligation Less: Amortization of actuarial loss (gain) Benefits paid during the year Benefit Liability - End of the year Less: Unamortized actuarial loss (gain) Accrued benefit obligation - End of the year 2010 4,468,700 313,800 224,900 13,200 (609,100) 2009 $ 4,184,300 254,500 211,000 (28,000) (153,100) 4,411,500 4,468,700 486.900 177.700 4,898,400 4,646,400 Actuarial assumptions used to determine the District's accrued benefit obligation are as follows: Discount rate (long-term borrowing rate) Expected future inflation rate Merit and inflationary wage and salary increases averaging Estimated average remaining service life of employees (years) 2010 2009 4.25 % 4.75% 2.50 % 2.50 % 4.55 % 4.55 % 10.3 10.3 9. Property Tax Levies In addition to its own tax levies, the District is required to levy taxes on behalf of various other taxing authorities. These include the provincial government for local school taxes, incorporated dyking districts located within the District and, organizations providing regional services in which the District has become a member. Total tax levies for 2010 of $93,932,367 , ($90,363,968 for 2009) were comprised as follows. 2010 $ 57,102,978 $ Municipal Tax Levies Levies for other authorities School taxes Greater Vancouver Transit Authority British Columbia Assessment Authority Greater Vancouver Regional District Parks Dyking Districts Municipal Finance Authority Total Collections for Others Total Tax Levies 28,992,968 5,664,892 894,907 883,862 390,170 2.590 2009 53,744,200 28,931,662 5,582,992 879,923 857,936 364,648 2,607 36,829,389 36.619.768 $ 93,932,367 $ 90,363,968 District of Maple Ridge - Financial Statements Page 14 of 31 10. Contingencies, Commitments and Unrecognized Liabilities: (a) Third Party Claims Where losses related to litigation are possible and can be reasonably estimated management accrues its best estimate of loss. For 2010 this estimate is $483,949 ($514,845 for 2009). These amounts are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. There are various other claims by and against the District, the outcome of which cannot be reasonably be estimated. Any ultimate settlements will be recorded in the year the settlements occur. (b) Contractual Obligations (i) Sewer (a) The District has entered into a cost share agreement with the Greater Vancouver Water District for the construction of infrastructure. Under this agreement the District expects to incur costs of approximately $7,169,000 over the next 4 years. The liability is recorded as the related costs are incurred. (ii) Recreation and Cultural Services (a) In 1998 the District entered into an agreement to purchase ice sheet time for five years commencing in 1999, with a five-year renewal option. In August 2008, the District renewed the agreement for an additional five-year period. The minimum annual payment due for the provision of ice time is $609,225. These payments are recorded as expenses when the ice time is provided. (d) Unrecognized Liability The District holds shares in a non-profit organization that provides protective services to its members. Should the organization dissolve or management choose to withdraw from the organization the District would be liable for a proportionate share of any debt the organization held at that time. The liability is expected to be discharged over time through payments by the District and others for the provision of these services by the organization. Due to the ongoing operations of the organization the liability could only be quantified if the District chose to withdraw. Consequently no liability has been recognized in these financial statements. 11. Restricted revenues held by the District as at December 31, 2010 of $ 37,176,499 , ( $ 36,157,206 for 2009) were comprised as follows: Beginning Balance Collections and interest Disbursements - operating Disbursements - capital Ending Balance Beginning Balance Collections and interest Disbursements - operating Disbursements - capital Ending Balance Development Cost Charges Actual Actual 2010 2009 Parkland Acquisition Charges Actual Actual 2010 2009 $ 31,644,928 $ 7,174,886 (1,282,185) ( 5.325,903) $ 32.211.726 34, 330,309 4,012,270 (220,406) (6,477,245) $ 31,644,928 Other Restricted Revenues Actual Actual 2010 2009 $ - $ 173,961 (11,606) $ 162,355 $ Total Restricted Revenues Actual Actual 2010 2009 $ 4,512,279 $ 323,696 (33,557) 4,268,970 275,737 (32,429) $ 4,802,418 $_ 4.512.278 District of Maple Ridge - Financial Statements Page 15 of 31 $ 36,157,207 $ 7,672,543 (1,315,742) (5,337,509) 38,599,279 4,288,007 (252,835) (6,477,245) $ 37,176,499 $ 36.157.206 12. Prior Period Adjustments In 2009, the District adopted the provisions of Section 3150 of the PSAB Handbook and recorded the District's tangible capital assets, net of related amortization, as non-financial assets. During 2010, additional information became available about the District's inventory of tangible capital assets and the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted.
