MEETING DECORUM
Council would like to remind all people present tonight that serious issues are
decided at Council meetings which affect many people's lives. Therefore, we ask that
you act with the appropriate decorum that a Council Meeting deserves. Commentary
and conversations by the public are distracting. Should anyone disrupt the Council
Meeting in any way, the meeting will be stopped and that person's behavior will be
reprimanded.
Note: This Agenda is also posted on the Municipal Web Site at www.mapleridge.ca
The purpose of a Council meeting is to enact powers given to Council by using bylaws
or resolutions. This is the final venue for debate of issues before voting on a bylaw or
resolution.

QUESTION PERIOD
The purpose of the Question Period is to provide 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 which have not yet reached conclusion.
Council will not tolerate any derogatory remarks directed at Council or staff
members.
If a member of the public has a concern related to a Municipal staff member, it
should be brought to the attention of the Mayor and/or Chief Administrative Officer
in a private meeting.
The decision to televise the Question Period is subject to review.
Each person will be permitted 2 minutes only to ask their question (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 individual
members of Council. The total Question Period is limited to 15 minutes.
If a question cannot be answered, it will be responded to at a later date at a
subsequent Council Meeting.
Other opportunities to address Council may be available through the Clerk's
Department who can be contacted at (604) 463-5221.

22141119 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Bylaw No 6443-2006 has been considered by Council and at Public Hearing on March 20, 2007 and
subsequently granted 2°,i and 3,6 reading on March 27, 2007. The applicant has requested that final
reading be granted. The purpose of the rezoning is to permit the construction of "Maple Ridge Senior's
Village" a seniors' residential complex with 108 licensed care beds and 81 assisted living apartments.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6443-2006 be adopted.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
Council considered this rezoning application at a Public Hearing held on March 20, 2007. On March 27,
2007 Council granted 2n,1 and 3,6 reading to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6443-2006 with the
stipulation that the following conditions be addressed:
i) Approval from the Ministry of Transportation;
ii) Registration of a Rezoning Development Agreement including the deposit of security as
outlined in the Agreement;
iii) A geotechnical report which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed
development;
iv) Road dedication as required;
v) Consolidation of the six lots on the development site;
vi) Removal of the existing buildings and clearing all the debris from site;
vii) Registration of a 219 Restrictive Covenant for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design Green Building Rating System components that will be included on the final project
design plans;
viii) Registration of a 219 Restrictive Covenant at the Land Title Office restricting the use to
seniors only;
ix) Registration of a 219 Restrictive Covenant at the Land Title Office securing visitor
parking on the site;
Me follo«nng applies to the above:
® The Planning Department received the certified copy of Maple Ridge Bylaw No.6443-2006 from the
Ministry of Transportation on May 4, 2007;
• The applicant has registered a Rezoning Servicing Agreement on title and paid the required
deposit of security to the District as stipulated in the agreement;
• A Geotechnical Report which recommends suitability of this development on site has been
submitted;
• The lots have been consolidated and the plan with road dedication and consolidation has been
registered in the Land Title Office;
■ The applicant has submitted demolition permits to remove the buildings on site and clear all
debris from site;
■ A 219 Restrictive Covenant for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green
Building Rating System components that will be included on the final project design plans has
been registered on title;
■ A 219 Restrictive Covenant at the Land Title Office restricting the use to seniors only has been
registered on title;
■ A 219 Restrictive Covenant at the Land Title Office securing visitor parking on the site has been
registered on title.
CONCLUSION:
This will be a useful facility for the aging seniors of Maple Ridge, both for independent living and as a care
facility for the dependent. Due to it's location within the town centre, the seniors who do not drive can
easily walk to most of the civic amenities or use the public transport. As the applicant has met Council's
conditions, it is recommended that final reading be given to the bylaw.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W
SUBJECT: First Reading
Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6488-2007
21544 and 21550 DONOVAN AVENUE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban
Residential) and RS-lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) to R-1 (Residential
District), to permit the subdivision of two parcels into three equal lots with an area of 540.4 m'. This
application is in compliance with the Official Community Plan.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. That Bylaw No. 6488-2007 be given first reading and be forwarded to Public Hearing; and
2. That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading.
i) Approval from the Ministry of Transportation;

Single Family Residential
1621 m2 total (lot 1 = 971 m2
Donovan Avenue
Full Urban
SD/ 121 /06
lot 2 = 650m2)
The subject property is located in an established residential area well within the urban boundary. The
proposed R-1 (Residential District) zone is consistent with the land use designation and will permit the
subdivision of two lots into three lots. Currently, lot 1 has an existing house on the property and lot 2 is
used as a yard extension. If the rezoning is granted by Council, the removal of the existing house will be
a condition of subdivision.
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Communitv Plan:
The Official Community Plan aims "to manage residential growth through infill and intensification in a
manner that respects neighbourhoods and the existing physical character of the surrounding areas"
(Chapter 3, page 7). This application aids the objective to direct urban growth with the Urban Area
boundary.
Compatibility Criteria
Neighbourhood Residential Infill is permitted in the OCP subject to compliance with the criteria found in
Section 3-19. Infill development on a property is permitted subject to compliance with the following
criteria:
i) The infill development is on a property that is larger than the prevailing lot size of the
surrounding neighbourhood
The cumulative size of the subject properties is larger than the prevailing lot size in the surrounding
neighbourhood. This application meets the criteria.
-2-
ii) the proposed lot area and widths should be not less than 80% of the lot area and width
prescribed in the predominate or adjacent zoning in the surrounding neighbourhood:
Although the adjacent zoning varies slightly, the predominant zones in this area are R-1 (Residential
District) and RS-lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential). The minimum width for RS-lb
(One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) is 15 metres and the R-1 (Residential District) zone
minimum width is 12 metres; 12 is 80% of 15. A subdivision application has been received to create
three equal lots with a lot area of 540.4 m2. This lot area is also not less than 80% of the prevailing lot
size in the surrounding area. This application meets the criteria.
iii) The proposed lot configuration is similar to the prevailing lot pattern that exists within the
neighbourhood
The proposed lot configuration will be identical to the lot pattern in the neighbourhood. This application
meets this criterion.
iv) The proposed housing form is consistent in scale and massing to that of the surrounding
neighbourhood.
The lot coverage for all residential zones in this area is, 40%. The proposed zoning is consistent with
this single family residential neighbourhood and the housing form regulations in the R-1 (Residential
District) are not dramatically different than the surrounding residential lots. This application meets this
criterion.
Zoning Bylaw:
The proposed zone is R-1 (Residential District) and all proposed lots meet the bylaw requirements for
this zone.
Development Information Meeting:
As the development proposal is less than 25 units a Development Information Meeting is not required.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
A review of servicing requirements by the Engineering Department indicates that urban services exist in
this neighbourhood, and any additional servicing that may be required will be achieved as a condition of
subdivision.
Parks & Leisure Services Department:
The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the subdivision is completed they
will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. In the case of this project it is estimated that there will
be an additional 3 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 $75.00.
-3-
e) Intergovernmental Issues:
Ministry of Transportation
As the subject property is located within 800 metres of the Lougheed Highway, Maple Ridge Zone
Amending Bylaw 6488 — 2007 will require the approval of the Minister of Transportation.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed development is in keeping with previous development which has taken place on this block
and is consistent with the criteria outlined in the OCP for infill development. It is therefore
recommended that Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6488-2007 be read a first time and be
forwarded to Public Hearing.

b) Project Description:
Application RZ/119/06 proposes to rezone a portion of the property located at 13080 240 Street from
RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) and RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-lb (One
Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) to permit the future subdivison into 5 lots, each having a
lot size of not less than 557 m'. The future lots will front onto 240 Street between 130A Avenue and
Shoesmith Avenue. The remainder of the property, approximately 75% of the site, will be dedicated as
Park.
The subject property is located in Silver Valley to the north of Horse Hamlet and is designated Low
Density Residential and Conservation. Millionaire Creek crosses through the southeast corner and
therefore, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit is required.
-2-
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The plan of development is in compliance with the Silver Valley Area Plan of the Official Community
Plan.
Zoning Bvlaw:
The proposed development complies with the Zoning Bylaw requirements. The applicant is proposing to
subdivide the property into 5 lots which meet the minimum lot width, lot depth and lot area requirements
of the RS-lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone.
Subdivision Bvlaw:
A review of the plans in relation to the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw has determined
that the proposal complies with the bylaw.
d) Development Permits:
A Watercourse Protection Development Permit is required for the preservation, protection, restoration
and enhancement of the natural environment of Millionaire Creek, as identified on Schedule "C" of the
Official Community Plan. This permit will also require compliance of the Natural Features Development
Permit for the areas with an average natural slope of greater than 15 percent. A Security will be taken as
a condition of the issuance of the Development Permit to ensure that the Development Permit Area
guidelines are met.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department reviewed the servicing for the development and provided their comments as
follows:
• The existing asphalt driveway and utility company plant on the proposed Park lot will need to be
removed and the area replanted.
• There are two easements on the property that provided access to properties beyond that must be
cancelled as they are no longer necessary.
• An equestrian trail is to be constructed through the Park lot to connect the existing trail on
Shoesmith Crescent to the trail in the undeveloped 240 Street road allowance. The existing
shoulder trail on 240 Street will be removed in front of the new subdivision.
• The geotechnical setback line has been established by a geotechnical engineer and it is outside of
the development area.
• Road dedication is required on the south side of Shoesmith Crescent.
• On -lot drainage detention facilities area required.
Parks & Leisure Services Department:
The Parks & Leisure Services Department have determined that the equestrian trail currently
located on the east shoulder of 240 Street between Shoesmith Crescent and 130A Avenues is to
be relocated to a more suitable location at the rear of the proposed 5 lot subdivision within the Park
-3-
property. The geotechnical engineer has approved the location of the proposed trail at the top of the
slope.
The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the subdivision is completed they
will be responsible for maintaining the additional street trees. In the case of this project it is estimated
that there will be an additional 5 trees which is based on one tree per lot and final subdivision design will
provide exact numbers. The required trees will be chosen to coordinate with the existing trees in the
area.
CONCLUSION:
The density of the proposed RS-lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone conforms to
the Low Density Residential land use designation in the Silver Valley Area Plan and is consistent with
the surrounding neighbourhood. It is therefore recommended that application RZ/119/06 be favourably
considered and that Maple Ridge Zone Amendment Bylaw No. 6481-2007 (Appendix B) be read a first
time and be forwarded to Public Hearing.

Proposed 232A Street,
Full Urban
Rezoning, Subdivision, Development Variance
Together, the subject properties are approximately 2.5 hectares in size. The streets fronting the subject
properties, 232 Street and Silver Valley Road, will be widened and constructed to a Silver Valley Arterial
road standard. An additional road, 232A Street, will be constructed dividing the RM-1 (Townhouse
Residential) and RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) sites from the RS-lb (One Family Urban
(medium density) Residential) site and will also provide access to future development to the north. A
"greenway", to be dedicated as park in the subdivision stage, is planned to create connectivity between
232 Street at the northern portion of the townhouse development to the newly constructed 232A Street.
This greenway also provides a visual buffer between the multi -family townhouse site and the proposed
single family RS-1 lots (One Family Urban Residential). According to the OCP, the greenbelt is slated to
connect northward and connect greenspace to future development to the north.
The site will be zoned; RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential), RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium
Density) Residential), and RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone.
i) RS-1 (One Farnily Urban Residential) zone:
The area north of the proposed greenway on the west side of the newly created 232A Street be
-2-
rezoned to permit the subdivision into 3 lots no smaller than 668m' in area.
ii) RS-lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone:
The proposal is for 18 RS-lb lots not less than 557m'. These lots will be located on the east side
of the newly constructed 232A Street and fronting onto Silver Valley Road.
iii) RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone:
The development concept calls for 31 townhouse units on the west portion of the site. Access to
this area will be from the newly constructed 232A Street to an internal road maintained by the
strata. The townhouse site is subject to a Multi -Family Residential Development Permit to
ensure the resulting development will adhere to the form and character guidelines outlined in the
Official Community Plan. Council will have an opportunity to review the townhouse layout
and design at a future meeting when the development permit is presented.
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Communitv Plan:
The development site is within the Silver Valley Area Plan which forms part of the Official Community
Plan and together the two properties have multiple designations: Medium/High Density Residential,
Open Space, Low Density Urban Residential, and Low/Medium Urban Residential.
In the case of this development, the Medium/High Density Residential designation is met with the
proposed RM-1 Townhouse District zone. The Open Space designation is met with the proposed
greenway to be dedicated as park with the subdivision application. The Low Density Urban Residential
will be provided though the RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) zone. Lastly, the Low/Medium Urban
Residential designation is being incorporated through the RS-lb (One Family Urban (medium density)
Residential) zone. This development is in compliance with the Official Community Plan.
ZoninI4 Bylaw:
The zone amending bylaw is for the three separate zones. The rezoning proposal calls for two separate
zones with a single family use: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) with a minimum lot area of 668m'
and the slightly denser RS-lb (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential) with a minimum lot area
of 557m'. All the single family lots will meet the bylaw requirements for their allotted zone.
The rezoning proposal also requests a portion of the site be rezoned to a multi -family zone, RM-1
(Townhouse Residential). This development will be applying for one variance of the zoning bylaw. The
proposal included the intent to vary the front yard setback from the required 7.5 metres to the 4.5 meters
proposed for the townhouses from western property lines fronting 232°d Street. This request will be
formalized for Council's consideration when the Development Permit and Variance Permit application is
presented for consideration.
Development Permits:
The townhouse portion of this site is subject to the Development Permit Guidelines for Multi -Family
development as outlined in the 2006 Official Community Plan.
- 3 -
Advisory Design Panel:
This application was reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel at their June 12, 2007 meeting. The Panel
was supportive of the project as presented and make the following resolution;
The Advisory Design Panel has reviewed the proposal and supports the general concept
and commends the applicant on the quality of presentation and supporting documents.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was held on January 8, 2007 at the Yennadon Elementary School.
Approximately 15-20 local residents and interested parties attended the meeting, 6 of whom filled out
comments sheets. It is important to note that the road pattern has changed since the time of this meeting
to meet Engineering requirements, specifically, a roundabout is no longer proposed for this development.
The Development Information Meeting summary provided by the applicant is attached as Appendix H.
The concerns expressed were:
• The preservation of trees on site
The townhouse proposal calls for many trees on site and a landscape plan will come
before Council as a part of the Development Permit application. A pending arborist
report will conclude if any existing trees have the potential to stay on the property along
with mitigation recommendations for their retention. This report will also include
requirements for hazard tree assessment/ removal and potential replanting opportunities.
• Road upgrades and accessibility for trucks
The applicant is currently working with the Engineering Department to ensure that all
roads will be built to the municipal standard for this area.
• Traffic generation and parking needs.
Both Silver Valley Road and the lower half of 232A Street will have parking lanes to
accommodate on -street parking. The townhouse site proposal meets all bylaw
requirements for resident and visitor parking.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
EnLyineerin2 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.
Parks & Leisure Services Department:
The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the subdivision is completed they
will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. In the case of this project it is estimated that there will
be an additional 22 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 525.00
per new tree will increase their budget requirements by $550.00.
-4-
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal is in compliance with the Official Community Plan. It is recommended that
First Reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw 6483-2007 and the application be forwarded to Public
Hearing.

ON DISPLAY
An overall view of the site showing the 31 unit townhouse site on
232nd Street & single family development off the internal road &
lots fronting on Silver Valley Road to the east. (Reduced copy
attached).
- The Silver Valley O.C.P. plan highlighting the site.
- Several displays by the architects, Atelier Pacific Architects,
showing details of the townhouse site. (Reduced copies attached).
Prior to the meeting copies of the plans were e-mailed to Gavin McLeod of the
Silver Valley Neighbourhood Advisory Group. Mr. McLeod attended the
meeting.
In general, the reaction to the proposal was positive. (See attached comment
sheets)
The major concerns were for the present increased traffic south of the site on
232 Street heading towards 132 Ave. Cars and trucks are speeding down the
hill.
Within the vicinity of the development, the proposed roundabout at Silver
Valley Road and 232 Street to save the rock out crop was well accepted. The
roundabout must be large enough for commercial vehicles, trucks and buses
(David Laird said that a roundabout was also being considered by the District
at the intersection of Fern Crescent & 232nd Street).
Concern was raised to save the majority of the evergreen trees at Silver Valley
Road and 232nd Street intersection. The townhouse proposal allows for this.

SUBJECT: Development Permit and Development Variance Permit
22141 119 AVE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant, Mr. Derek Crawford is proposing the construction of "Maple Ridge Senior's Village" a
seniors' residential complex with 108 licensed care beds and 81 assisted living apartments. This
development is proposed to provide 2 levels of care:
• Level One: for seniors who need only minimal assistance in their daily lives
• Level Two: for seniors who need more intermediate care 24 hours a day, provided by an on -site
skilled nursing staff. This project is a partnership between the developer and Fraser Health.
The application is subject to Multi -Family Development Permit Guidelines as outlined in the 2006
Official Community Plan. The applicant is seeking variances as described in the report.
That the Manager of Legislative Services be authorized to notify qualifying property owners
that approval of DVP/086/06 respecting properties located at 22141 119 Avenue will be
considered by Council at the July 10, 2007 Council meeting; and further
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal DP/086/06 respecting property

The subject site is 0.78 HA (7835 m2) located on 119'h Avenue at the edge of the Town Centre
commercial core, one block away from a bus route and two blocks away from the Civic Centre. Site
access is off of 1 19`" Avenue and a lane on the east edge of the property line. The total proposed gross
building area is 16,249 square meters (175,000 square feet). The building design is proposed as a
combination of three and four storey structures. The proposed building includes amenities on site like a
full -service dining room, library, lounge, hairdressing, spa, theatre and other activity spaces. Outdoor on -
site amenities include a west facing terrace and a secured courtyard, a secured courtyard on the north, a
gazebo and a large north -facing landscaped garden area for walking and sitting, and two rooftop terraces
— a larger one facing south and a smaller one facing southwest.
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The 2006 Official Community Plan designates the subject site for residential use and the proposed
development is subject to Multi -Family Development Permit Guidelines.
Multi -Family Development Permit Guidelines:
■ New development into established areas should respect private spaces and incorporate local
neighborhood elements in building form, height, architectural features and massing.
The proposed senior's use apartment building is residential in character. The building massing,
form and character is planned to reflect a residential scale suitable to the site. The Porte Cohere
forms the central welcoming architectural feature and selection of fagade treatment like cultured
stone as seen on South Elevation (Appendix B), painted hardi-board siding, aluminum sun control
-2-
device, wood facia and sand -blasted finishes have been chosen to reflect the type of materials that
are used in the residential surroundings. The height is three and four -storeys which fits well with
the multi -family residential development on all sides except on the south where older, single
family development exists.
■ Transitional development should be used to bridge areas of low and high densities, through
means such as stepped building heights, or low rise ground oriented housing located to the
periphery of a higher density developments.
The proposed floor space ratio of 1.64 is well within the floor space ratio allowed in the CD- 1-00
zone (which is 1.8). The proposed H-shaped building is three storeys on the north and four storeys
along 119'h Avenue to the south. Most of the peripheral buildings are multi -family and 2 to 8
storeys high so this proposal fits well in the context. The existing older single family houses on
the south are expected to change to higher densities to match with the changing surrounding
multi -family development.
■ Large scale development should be clustered and given architectural separation to foster a
sense of community and improve visual attractiveness.
The proposed "H-shaped building" is designed so as to give maximum external fagade to most of the
rooms, thus promoting good natural light and ventilation into the rooms. The inward looking form of
the building also gives an opportunity to the residents to communicate with each other, thus
encouraging a sense of community within the residents. The architectural style shows a well -
articulated modern design with fagade treatment like cultured stone and the Porte Cohere forms the
central welcoming architectural feature thus adding to the visual aesthetics.
■ Pedestrian circulation should be encouraged with attractive streetscapes attained through
landscaping, architectural details, appropriate lighting and by directing parking underground
where possible or away from Public view through screened parking structures or surface
parking located to the rear of the property.
All resident parking and staff parking is provided underground with an intension of encouraging
pedestrian activity on ground. Although 119"' Avenue will serve as the principle access, an existing
lane at the east end of the property line will serve as a pedestrian and emergency access. The various
secured courtyards along the northeast and northwest corners for the care facility and the secured
courtyard on the west located within the central portion of the H-shaped building provide for
comfortable pedestrian activity areas. They include features such as a 3.0 in wide paved walkways,
Gazebo with Trellis and benches for outdoor seating.
Maple Ridte Town Centre Concept Plan
The Town Centre Concept Plan shows a multi -family designation for the subject site. The plan
encourages a range of housing choices in the core area to:
• Help increase the population base to support local businesses and transit, thus making the Town
Centre attractive & vibrant.
• To increase public safety in relatively complete communities like the Town Centre that allows
residents to live, work, play and shop.
-3-
The provision of a broad range of housing types & transportation choices will help to accommodate
people at various stages of life, reduce automobile use and air pollution. It helps residents who cannot
drive (especially seniors with disabilities) to access daily activities on their own, within walking distance
Green Building Design
The project architect has submitted a green building rating system checklist for the proposed
development, as required for all sites located within the Regional Town Centre (see attached) and can
achieve a total of 28 points, which is the equivalent of a certified LEEDS building (note: the applicant is
not intending to certify the building). However, a LEED Restrictive Covenant will be registered on title
to ensure that the proposed green building components are achieved.
Zoning Bylaw:
The proposed CD- 1-00 (Comprehensive Development) zone is intended for senior's residential use and
also permits a licensed private hospital use. Accessory Congregate Care Use is for the benefit of the
residents only. A density of maximum 1.8 Floor Space Ratio is permitted in this zone and the applicant is
proposing a Floor Space Ratio of 1.64.
Proposed Variances to Zonink Bylaw:
The applicant is requesting variances for the following:
■ A zero setback for the Porte Cohere facing 1 19`h Avenue. This provides covered access to the
main entry for residents and visitors for drop-off (Appendix B)
■ The central feature proposed for visual aesthetics (facing 119`h Avenue) requires a 2.2m variance
in roof height. This provides a strong central architectural element which breaks the monotonous
profile of the roof thus creating a visual focal point of interest and more importantly provides
shelter over an outdoor room for the roof garden (Appendix B, South Elevation)
■ Reduce setback to 6.Om for sun shades over windows on south elevation. These provide shade
for the amenity areas on the south side of the building on the main level for people relaxing in
the secure courtyard area at the front of the building.
■ Two adjacent roofs to the above central fagade will require a 0.2m variance, as they are "stepped
down" to the main roof height.
■ The east and west stair structures require a 0.2m variance to provide head room for roof garden
access.
■ A variance of 1.5 m to retain the 6.0 m Lane on the east which is supported by the Engineering
Department.
■ Small parking stalls: The maximum permitted number of small parking stall spaces under the
Parking Bylaw is 9 spaces and the applicant is requesting to increase that number to 18 small car
spaces. The ND Lea report recommends that the maximum number of small car parking spaces
be 30% of the total required spaces and based on their above noted recommendation for total
number of stalls. This would permit a total of 20 small car stalls and the applicant has proposed
18 spaces.
Advisory Design panel:
The proposed project was reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel on October 10, 2006. The design panel
was in general supportive of the project and no specific objections were noted.
-4-
d) Intergovernmental Issues:
The Planning Department received the certified copy of Maple Ridge Bylaw No.6443-2006 from the
Ministry of Transportation on May 4, 2007.
e) Financial Implications:
As per a Council resolution passed on September 10, 1990, there will be a bonding for 2.5 % of the
estimated total construction cost of the project as Landscape Security, to be paid at the Development
Permit stage. This security is also intended to ensure the form and character aspect of the development
permit along with the proposed landscaping works. The project architect has provided us with an
approximate estimate of the total project cost and the applicant has paid the required landscape security.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed project is centrally located in the Regional Town Centre with respect to many public
transport choices, services and amenities. The building is well -designed with an appealing exterior
facade, ample outdoor amenity space located on the ground and on the roof, and additionally with
supportive indoor amenities on site.
There will be variances required to accommodate the development as outlined in the report.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Cow
SUBJECT: Variance Permit
21751 136 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This report addresses an application for a development variance permit to vary servicing required under a
building permit application. The variance is to reduce the amount of frontage being serviced to relate to
the conditions on the ground.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Manager of Legislative Services be authorized to notify qualifying property owners that
approval of DVP/021/07 respecting property located at 21751 136 Avenue will be considered by
Council at the July 10, 2007 meeting.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context
Applicant: ABM Engineering Services, Mr A B Mikes
Owner: Jarnail S Biln
Jaspal K Biln
Balwant S Biln
Legal Description:
Zoning:
Lot: 2, Section: 31, Township: 12, Plan: 22684
Existing: A-2 (Upland Agricultural)
Surrounding Uses: The lands are surrounded by lands within the
Agricultural Land Reserve and Zoned A-2 (Upland
Agricultural).
Existing Use of Property:
Proposed Use of Property
Access:
Requested Variance:
Single Family Residential and Agricultural Use
No change
136 Avenue
to vary servicing requirements along property frontage
b) Project Description:
The applicants applied for a building permit in 2004 for a 167 mz (1800 sq. ft.) building to support their
farming operation. Under the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 4800-1993 the
undeveloped road allowance adjacent to the site was required to be improved by constructing a (rural
local) paved road across the full frontage of the property. The applicants felt at that time that the
servicing of the entire road frontage was not necessary as the portion east of Cedar Way was not required
for access to any lands.
At that time, a variance permit was suggested to reduce the frontage being serviced, however the
applicants were under a time constraint to get the building constructed. They therefore bonded for all the
servicing works but have not yet constructed them. The building has been completed and final approval
by the Building Department is in place.
An application for a development variance permit has now been submitted to vary the servicing
requirements under the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw. The variance proposed is to reduce
the frontage of the property being serviced from the full frontage of the property to just that frontage from
the west property line of the subject lands to Cedar Way. To the east of Cedar Way the road allowance
would be left unimproved as it is not required to provide access to these lands or the lands to the east.
c) Planning Analysis:
The lands lie within the Agricultural Land Reserve and within the Green Zone as defined in the Official
Community Plan (OCP). In addition, the lands are designated Agricultural on Schedule B to the OCP. The
intent therefore is for continued use of the lands for agricultural purposes. This application would be
consistent with that intent in that the road construction would be only what is necessary to provide suitable
access for farm purposes and the road standard would be rural in nature.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
This application has been reviewed by the Engineering, Fire, and Parks & Leisure Services Departments.
They have commented as follows:
Engineering Department
The Engineering Department supports this application and notes that a servicing design will have to be
prepared by the applicant's engineer. The design will be for a seven metre wide paved rural road with gravel
shoulders and providing for a short stub to allow vehicles to turn around at the end of Cedar Way. They also
note the requirement to ensure continued use of the existing equestrian trail along 136 Avenue. The
suggested configuration is shown on the attached preliminary plan.
Parks and Leisure Services
Parks and Leisure Services have raised no objection to the application, subject to the road design providing
for two metre wide shoulders on each side to accommodate the existing equestrian trail use. The
Engineering Department will see this is incorporated into the design.
Fire Department
The Fire Department have requested that the driveway entrance to the subject site at the property line be
widened to a minimum six metres to allow room for vehicles and a hydrant hose. This will be incorporated
into the design.
-2-
e) Alternatives:
If this variance were not approved the applicant would be expected to carry out the required construction of
the full frontage of the property as agreed upon and bonded for.
CONCLUSION:
This application is consistent with OCP policy for these lands and supported by staff. It is recommended
that Council approve issuance of this Development Variance Permit.

SUBJECT: Application for Homesite Severance (Subdivision) of Land within the
Agricultural Land Reserve
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received under Section 21 (2) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act to
subdivide approximately 1.2 hectares (3 acres) of land that is within the Agricultural Land Reserve.
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.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Application AL/038/07 be authorized to proceed to the Agricultural Land Commission;

The property is part of a long running family farm. The property owner has owned the property since
before the creation of the Agricultural Land Reserve. He wishes to subdivide off his homesite parcel
for residential and retirement purposes, while allowing most of the parcel to be acquired by an
adjacent existing farm operation. An application under these circumstances may meet the conditions
of homesite severance by the Agricultural Land Commission.
c) Planning Analysis:
Two policies of the Official Community Plan are of particular relevance to this application. The
following except from Policy 6-12 of the Official Community Plan states that:
Maple Ridge will protect the productivity of its agricultural land by:...
d) discouraging the subdivision of agricultural land into smaller parcels, except
where positive benefits to agriculture can be demonstrated;
This application demonstrates a net benefit 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.
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;
-2-
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.
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 remainder, should this application be successful, will be approximately 15.8
hectares (39 acres). For this remainder, a notarized intent to purchase agreement from the
adjacent farm property has been included as part of the application.
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 well and septic disposal for both properties. In addition, watercourse protection
is required. The District's usual practice for protecting watercourses in rural areas is through
restrictive covenants. It is understood that the Agricultural Land Commission must approve all
covenants registered against land that is within the Agricultural Land Reserve prior to the
completion of subdivision plans.
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.
-3-
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.

Canada Day Event
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
DATE: June 7, 2007
FILE NO: E01-035-001.5
ATTN: C of W
A request has been received from Maple Ridge Parks and Leisure Services to use municipal streets for their
annual Canada Day Event on Sunda} July 1, 2007, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. A cope of the request is
attached.
Authorization from Council is required in accordance with the "Maple Ridge Flighway and Traffic By-law
3136-1982" to allow the event to occur in Maple Ridge.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT use of municipal streets be authorized for the annual Canada Day Event on Sundav Julv 1,
2007, provided the conditions outlined in Schedule `A' attached to the staff report dated June 7, 2007
are met.
DISCUSSION:
(a) Background Context:
From time to time, the Municipality is requested to allow the use of municipal streets for organized
events. Unless there are some unusual safety implications, approval is usually given on condition
that the Municipality be indemnified against any liability- for injury or damage resulting from the
event. The conditions of approval of the event are attached as Schedule "A".
The Canada Day festivities are scheduled from 8:00 Ail to 4:00 PM in Memorial Peace Park and will
require the following road closures:
• 1-laney Place Road surrounding Memorial Peace Park;
• McIntosh Avenue from Fraser Street to 224 Street; and
• Fraser Street from i'vlclntosh _Avenue to Dewdney Trunk Road.
Barricades will be set up by the organizers to manage this closure
(b) Strategic Plan:
Permitting of Maple Ridge street events allows the District to manage road infrastructure and
associated risks but pet allows events that promote community development and highlight Maple
Ridge's natural and built features.
(c) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Permission to use municipal streets may cause some minor delays and inconveniences to other road
users. However, traffic control will be provided by the organizers. In addition, the organizers will
be distributing an information letter to affected businesses and residents.
(d) Governmental Implications:
The road use permit establishes that the festival organizer must obtain the approval of RCMP, for
traffic control and must notify the Fire Department and BC Ambulance Services as well as
coordinate with Coast Mountain Bus Company (transit service) for any required rerouting or
schedule change.
(e) Business Plan Implications:
The Business Plan recognizes that the District processes requests for use of municipal streets as part
of its services. The financial impact of the specific road use is limited to staff processing effort.
(f) Policy Implications:
Permission to use municipal streets is grantable under the District's policy practices.
(g) Alternatives:
The District could refuse to permit the event to occur at this location. In this event, the organizer
may wish to select an alternative location within or outside the municipality. However, this event has
a history in this community.
CONCLUSIONS:
From time to time, the District is requested to allow the use of municipal streets for various events and
activities. Canada Day festivities have been held in Maple Ridge for several years and the organizers have
requested perrruissiot to hold the event on municipal streets for 2007.

Caribbean Street Festival
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
DATE: June 7, 2007
FILE NO: E01-035-001.5
ATTN: C of W
A request has been received from the Caribbean Street Festival Committee to use municipal streets for their
annual Caribbean Street Festival on Sunday July 15, 2007, between 12:00 PM and 9:00 PM. A cope of the
request is attached.
Authorization from Council is required in accordance with the "Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic By-law
3136-1982" to allow the event to occur in Maple Ridge.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT use of municipal streets be authorized for the Caribbean Street Festival on Sunday July 15,
2007, provided the conditions outlined in Schedule `A' attached to the staff report dated June 7, 2007
are met.
DISCUSSION:
(a) Background Context:
From time to time, the Municipality is requested to allow the use of municipal streets for organized
events. Unless there are some unusual safety implications, approval is usually given on condition
that the Municipality be indemnified against any liability for injury or damage resulting from the
event. The conditions of approval of the event are attached as Schedule "A". It should be noted that
the festival organizer has applied to the Liquor Control Board for an outdoor beer garden license.
Set up will begun at 9:00 AM and clean-up will continue until 11:30 PM. The Caribbean Street
Festival is scheduled from 12:00 PM to 9:00 PMand will require the following road closures:
• 224 Street from Dewdnev Trunk Road to 119 Avenue;
• I\-IcIntosh Avenue from 223 Street to Fraser Street;
i Fraser Street from Dewdnev Trunk. Road to McIntosh .Avenue;
® Haney Place Road;
® 1-laney Place Mall parking lot exit at 119 Avenue will be restricted; and
® Underground parking lot exit onto McIntosh Ave will be closed, as well as the parking lot
entrance at Haney Place Road.
' '1
(b) Strategic Plan:
Permitting of Maple Ridge street events allows the District to manage road infrastructure and
associated risks but vet allows events that promote communist- development and highlight Maple
Ridge's natural and built features.
(c) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Permission to use municipal streets may cause some minor delays and inconveniences to other road
users. However, traffic control will be provided by the Caribbean Street Festival volunteers. In
addition, the organizers will be distributing an information letter to affected businesses and residents.
(d) Governmental Implications:
The road use permit establishes that the festival organizer must obtain the approval of RCMP, for
traffic control and must notify the Fire Department and BC Ambulance Services as well as
coordinate with Coast Mountain Bus Company (transit service).
(e) Business Plan Implications:
The Business Plan recognizes that the District processes requests for use of municipal streets as part
of its services. The financial impact of the specific road use is limited to staff processing effort.
(f) Policy Implications:
Permission to use municipal streets is grantable under the District's policy practices.
(g) Alternatives:
The District could refuse to permit the event to occur at this location. In this event, the organizer
may wish to select an alternative location within or outside the municipality. However, this event has
a history in this community.
CONCLUSIONS:
From time to time, the District is requested to allow the use of municipal streets for various events and
activities. The Caribbean Street Festival has been held in Maple Ridge for the past six years and the
organizers have requested permission to hold the event on municipal streets for 2007.

SUBJECT: Maple Ridge Development Procedures Amending Bylaw No. 6477 — 2007
Maple Ridge Delegation Bylaw No. 6478 - 2007
Council Action Items out of The Development Process Review Report
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This report follows up on several recommendations in the Development Process Review Report prepared
by UMA Engineering in 2004 and presented to Council (the UMA report). The Council at the time
endorsed the report recommendations but asked for a follow up report on several issues requiring further
action. Staff has reported back to Council on the Advisory Design Panel Bylaw and the policy for
Development Information Meetings leaving four issues/recommendations to be addressed. Some of the
recommendations have been expanded upon, and one additional recommendation relating to development
permit notification is being brought forward for Council direction. These items relate to:
i) Delegating authority to review and approve minor amendments to development permit plans;
ii) Requiring the development permit application at the same time as the rezoning application
where applicable;
iii) Delegating authority to issue environmental development permits within development permit
areas designated under Section 919.1 (1) (a) of the Local Government Act (Natural Features
and Watercourse Protection Development Permits);
iv) Scheduling the Council meeting for the day after the Committee of the Whole for land use
application matters;
v) Authorizing staff to send the required notification of Council consideration of a development
variance permit without having Council consider whether to send the notice on each case
individually.
This report will deal with each of these issues separately and recommend relevant bylaw, policy, and
procedural changes.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) That Maple Ridge Development Procedures Amending Bylaw No. 6477 - 2007 be read a first,
second, and third time and;
2) That Maple Ridge Delegation Bylaw No. 6478 — 2007 be read a first, second, and third time;
3) That Council authorize the Manager of Legislative Services to send the required notification
for development variance permits in accordance with Section 922.6 of the Local Government
Act without having Council consider whether to send the notice on each case individually.
f
1) Minor Amendments To Development Permits:
Issue 9.6 of the UMA report recommends that the Director of Planning be authorized to approve minor
variations to Development Permit drawings. Changes to drawings inevitably occur between the development
permit stage and the building permit stage as drawings evolve. There is currently no legislation, policies or
guidelines for handling these changes. Therefore, applicants have had to apply for a new development
permit with full process and Council review when changes are made after development permit issuance.
This can be expensive and time consuming for applicants and additional workload for staff and Council.
If staff is to approve minor plan changes, it needs to be done in a consistent fashion which is endorsed by
Council. A delegation bylaw is required to implement this recommendation and has been prepared. To guide
staff in the review and consideration of minor amendments associated guidelines have been developed and
attached to the bylaw. The guidelines would provide for a consistent approach to consideration of minor
amendments to plans, but not allow significant changes to the development without Council authorization.
Bylaw No. 6478-2007 would delegate this authority to the Director of Planning or in his or her absence, the
Manager of Development and Environmental Services. All changes would be considered in the context of
the guidelines. As required under the Local Government Act, a procedure to have Council reconsider a
decision by staff is included in the Bylaw.
The new Official Community Plan also provides the ability to deal with some situations that would have
previously required a development permit through an expanded list of development permit exemptions. This
combined with other recommendations contained in this report will provide some additional tools for
gaining efficiencies in the process.
It is recommended that Council give three readings to Maple Ridge Delegation Bylaw No. 6478-2007.
2) Development Permit Application Submission With The Rezoning Application And More Complete
Information.
Requiring Development Permit Applications to be submitted with the Rezoning application was
recommendation 9.1 in the UMA report. Under issue 9.4 of the report the consultant recommends more
detailed information be provided with the initial application. The UMA report also generally discussed the
need for updated Bylaws and checklists/handouts etc.
The UMA report observed that development application processing in the District of Maple Ridge is in a
state of transition, moving from a small community to one which includes broader community objectives
and concerns typically associated with larger urban centres. The development process needs to be aligned
accordingly. The consultant recognized that "Council and the Community require greater design detail and
certainty when considering rezoning applications". This recommendation is aimed at increasing information
requirements with the initial rezoning application. The method proposed is by requiring the development
permit application to be submitted with the rezoning application. It is suggested that this recommendation be
expanded to include other applications as well, such as the subdivision application and development
variance permit application if required. In addition, new checklists are needed to update the current
checklists, make them more user friendly and to reflect the new processes. The need for the new checklists
and plan requirements are also driven by the recently amended Watercourse Protection Bylaw and the new
Official Community Plan particularly with regard to environmental matters.
)Description of Bylaw Amendment:
A text amendment to the District of Maple Ridge Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879 - 1999 as
amended, is required to address this recommended change. The Bylaw amendment would essentially do the
following:
-2-
Divide the current checklists for application submissions related to development applications so that
each type of application would stand on its own as a separate checklist. (This would not include
subdivision as the application requirements for subdivision are contained in the Subdivision and
Development Servicing Bylaw);
Correct an existing reference error in the bylaw;
Modify application requirements for those sites involving multiple applications, so that they would
be required to be submitted together. A development permit application would not be required for
most applications for rezoning to single family residential, except where a subdivision is for
intensive development in the R-3 zone, includes land within a watercourse or natural features
development permit area, or where a development permit is specifically required in the Zoning
Bylaw. (RG-2 and RG-3). The proposed bylaw amendment also provides the ability for alternative
processing and submission requirements for large, multi- phased, mixed use projects, where
architectural drawings at the initial stage may be less practical;
Update the checklists to reflect today's information requirements and the revised processes.
Require a corresponding subdivision proposal where applicable, to be found to be technically
feasible before a rezoning application can proceed to Public Hearing.
Provide staff with the authority to close inactive rezoning, development permit, and development
variance permit applications where no meaningful activity has occurred within any 12 month period.
Planning Analysis:
The above amendment is being brought forward for a number of reasons. For ease of reading, the analysis
will be broken out into two areas as follows:
Revised Checklists and Amendment to Procedural Bylaw
• The UMA report identified the need for updated bylaws and application checklists, and reducing the
number of reports to Council by combining reports. The revised process, new checklists, and the
delegation of issuance of development permits, would address these recommendations;
• The new OCP has introduced new Development Permit areas for watercourse protection and natural
features, and expanded the objectives and guidelines for many development permit areas. This in
turn, requires updating of checklists and handouts and ensuring plan submissions are sufficient to
address development permit area guidelines;
The existing Bylaw Application Submission Requirements contained in Schedule A (attached) were
established in the form of an add -on method to identify different requirements for different
applications. Schedule A was later converted to a handout and over time this handout has proven to
be somewhat confusing and difficult to use by applicants. The revised separate checklists are felt to
be clearer and more concise for the wide range of users and their varying knowledge of development
application processing;
There is an existing reference in Clause I of the Bylaw where it refers to a plan in "B" above
whereas that reference should be to "D". The amendment replaces this section so this anomaly will
be automatically corrected;
The existing Bylaw can be confusing in its requirements and this will be corrected in the
amendment. For example, Clause D requires one full set of architectural blueprints and then, later,
Clause E requires additional plans that should be included in a "full set" of architectural blueprints.
It is a bit unclear as to the intention and the new checklists will clarify requirements;
-3-
The bylaw amendment would update application requirements. An example of this would be
eliminating requirements such as a context plan and legal survey (except where required to identify
conservation boundaries) and add requirements which in practice are currently required like site
profiles, arborist reports, and tree surveys, to address potential tree retention opportunities. In
addition, Council has recently directed that requirements for Watercourse Development Permits be
modified and the revised checklist will reflect this;
The Procedural Bylaw contains provisions for dealing with rezoning applications where they have
reached the third reading stage but have not taken the necessary actions to secure final adoption
within 12 months of third reading. It does not however, address inactive applications which have
been submitted in the past and have been sitting without any status for extended periods of time in
some cases. A bylaw amendment is being proposed whereby applications can be closed after 12
months of inactivity.
Increased Information and Parallel Application Processing
For some time now, it has become evident that Council and the public are demanding more
information and input on development applications at the rezoning and public consultation stage. In
order to provide this information, more complete plans, submission materials, and reports are
required at an early stage in the process;
The public wants some assurance that what is shown at Development Information Meetings and the
Public Hearing is actually built and not changed later. More complete plans will be required for
rezoning and development permit applications, thereby providing more detailed information. The
intent is to focus on the whole development initially and process applications as concurrently as
possible. Processing applications concurrently will allow for issuance of the Development Permit at
the final reading stage, giving Council a level of assurance that the intended development to
accompany the rezoning will be followed through to building permit except for minor changes and
shortening process time for the applicant. Any significant changes to the plans would require further
input from the Advisory Design Committee and Council approval. This would not however,
guarantee that what is authorized in the development permit would be built, since hypothetically, an
applicant could let the development permit lapse, or request an amendment. However, in either case
a process would be involved and Council approval would be required. In addition, given plan
requirements and required time lines for processing, it is less likely an applicant would totally
change the project once the development permit level of commitment was made.
® From a public information and legal perspective, it is necessary to have all reports and information
available in advance of the Public Hearing, to allow the public the opportunity to review it. The
types of reports would include traffic, environmental, geotechnical and site servicing methods.
Under the current process when land is "pre -zoned" on preliminary conceptual plans, the applicant
may not have thoroughly worked out development costs, Building Code issues, Official Community
Plan policy, Zoning Bylaw requirements or architectural elements. When they reach the
development permit application stage, this can result in significant changes occurring to the original
proposal. The public can feel they have been misled about the proposal or that the project is being
modified for economic reasons. Development Permit drawings require more information which
requires the project architect and the applicant to think out the design more completely, resulting in
fewer changes after Public Hearing and less miscommunication with the public.
More complete plan submissions will allow for a more thorough review in relation to Development
Permit area guidelines which provides Council and the public with a better understanding as to how
the land use and a particular development may comply with Official Community Plan policy;
-4-
• More complete drawings will help staff to identify any significant bylaw variances at an early stage,
giving the public and Council this information early on, and reducing the potential for public
opposition to a future development variance permit application;
Under the current process, rezoning, development permit, development variance permit, and
subdivision applications are most often run "end to end". This has two major impacts. Firstly,
applications can take a considerable amount of time to clear through the system (often times years)
and Council may end up seeing numerous reports on the same development but related applications.
This is not only time consuming for Council, but also results in repetitive administration for staff.
Processing the applications concurrently will allow reports to be combined, resulting in reduced
work load, less administration, and fewer reports to Council. Processing applications concurrently
combined with other process changes recommended by the consultants will also reduce processing
times, which should be attractive to applicants even though they may have slightly higher costs
initially for plans and studies before obtaining zoning approval. In addition, the public has raised
concerns with studies and information not being available at Public Hearing but through other less
public processes like subdivision and development permit. Secondly, the current approach results in
many issues being raised late in the process because all applications are not addressed at the same
time. This results in developer complaints of "late hits" or of road blocks which are often a product
of the current process;
• The past practice of pre -zoning lands without tying down the project in a development permit tends
to increase the property value, without a commitment on the development, or to the community, and
can lead to sale of the zoned site to a third party who may want to develop something contrary to
that shown at development information meetings and the Public Hearing;
Supporting this process is the encouragement to have an early pre -application meeting to clarify
requirements and answer questions.
3) Dele,-ation OfAuthority For Issuance Of Environmental Development Permits
Issue 9.10 in the report recommends the Director of Planning seek Council support to delegate issuance of
Environmental Development Permits. This would result in time saving for staff in report preparation and for
Council in reviewing and considering these reports. It would also result in significant time saving for
applicants by eliminating the approximate three week processing time involved with Council approval.
Environmental Development Permit areas utilize regulations, guidelines and requirements of a highly
technical nature. Generally, there are no significant political issues with these types of permits, and
therefore they are a suitable candidate for delegation. Typically, this has involved approximately 15 to 17
development permits a year of this nature being forwarded through Council. All of these applications
required accompanying reports and processing time.
Section 154 of the Community Charter provides the authority for delegation of issuance of Development
Permits and requires that such delegation be authorized by Bylaw. Maple Ridge Delegation Bylaw No.
6478-2007 would also address this subject. Section 920(12) of the Local Government Act requires that
where a Local Government delegates the power to issue a Development Permit, the owner of the land that is
subject to the permit be entitled to have the Local Government reconsider the matter. The process and
reconsideration is included in the Delegation Bylaw as required under the Charter. Where it is felt that an
application warrants Council review it can still be forwarded in the normal manner.
It is recommended that Council give three readings to Maple Ridge Delegation By-law No. 6478 - 2007.
-5-
4) Council Meeting To Be Held The Day After The Committee Of The Whole.
This report recommendation is to adjust Committee of the Whole and Council meeting dates, so that the
Council meeting would be held the day after the Committee of the Whole. The time savings would be one
week and in the context of the overall development process would not be significant.
The current process gives Council time to think over the information received at the Committee of the
Whole and make site visits if desired. It also provides staff time before the Council meeting to research and
prepare responses to any questions or requests for additional information which may arise at the Committee
meeting. In addition, the Council and Committee meetings have already been set and published for this
year. For these reasons, changes to meeting scheduling is not recommended at this time. If Council feels
this change is worthy of further consideration, they may wish to review it when the 2008 meeting schedule is
prepared.
S) Development Variance Permit Notification
Section 7.4 of the UMA report comments on the preparation of Development Variance Permits during the
mail out notification period. The current practice is to have Council consider notification for each
development variance permit application individually. This usually requires a separate report and a two
week delay in processing. It also makes timing difficult to have the variance permit and other approvals
considered at the same Council meeting or combined in one report. At times, this results in Council
approving zoning and a development permit two weeks before considering a development variance permit
which may be required to make the development possible.
Procedural Bylaw No. 5879 - 1999, Clause 7 (2) requires that "Notice of Council consideration of a
resolution to issue a Development Variance Permit shall be mailed to or otherwise delivered to all owners or
tenants in occupation of all parcels, any parts of which are adjacent to the property that is subject to the
permit". This bylaw section is in keeping with the Local Government Act section 722.6 which requires a
notice be mailed or otherwise delivered at least 10 days before the adoption of a resolution to issue the
permit. Neither the Local Government Act nor the Procedural Bylaw require that Council direct that the
notice be sent on each individual application. It appears this is a matter of practice rather than a requirement.
In the spirit of reducing staff reports, Council workload, and processing times, it is recommended that
Council consider delegating the notification authority to staff who will build it into the process and notify
automatically depending on application scheduling. In most cases under the new processes, Council should
be made aware of potential variances at the rezoning stage.
CITIZEN/CUSTOMER IMPLICATIONS:
The proposed process and application requirement changes in this report will ensure that the public have
access to more detailed information at the development information meetings and Public Hearings. From the
developer's perspective, these proposed changes will potentially involve higher costs at the beginning of the
process and a level of commitment to the development plans submitted. However, the applicant will gain a
higher level of comfort as to project feasibility if the overall development is looked at more closely at an
early stage, (rather than piecemeal) and more detailed input from staff, and the Advisory Design Panel is
secured earlier in the process. In addition, and perhaps more importantly, this and other consultant
recommendations may, over time, result in more efficient use of staff time which should translate into
shorter processing times generally for applications. Other benefits for the development industry will be
achieved through the ability of staff to approve minor amendments to development permit plans rather than
go back through the development permit process, by delegation of the ability to issue environmental
development permits, and by delegating development variance permit notification.
-6-
INTERDEPARTMENTAL IMPLICATIONS:
Applications are processed cross departmentally and the current method of processing them has been learned
and practiced over time. Past practice has been one of "land use first" and then look more closely at things
like detailed servicing, subdivision geometry, and other technical and detailed building design
considerations. This often involved processing applications end to end rather than concurrently. The
suggested approach will involve looking at the development in totality rather than piecemeal which is the
case when applications are processed end to end. The new processes will require staff to focus on all
applications and related file issues at the same time which is a fundamental shift in application processing.
Support for these initiatives from departments involved in development processing will be crucial to the
success of the changes proposed.
CONCLUSION:
Development process re -engineering takes time and has as its goal to work towards continuous
improvement. The benefits of individual process changes will not be seen immediately. The bylaw
amendments and policy direction recommended in this report will provide clear Council direction to
commence the process changes in these areas and initiate a change in the way applications have been
received and processed in the past. In addition, other recommendations in the Development Process Review
report will continue to be implemented. Over time, once all process adjustments are made, new processes
are learned, staff training is completed and the development industry understands expectations, the benefits
will begin to be achieved. Some of these benefits would include improved information for Council and the
public at the initial application stage, shorter processing times for the overall process and in particular for
environmental development permits, more efficient use of staff time, less repetitive administration, and more
certainty and consistency in the process. It is recommended that Council endorse the recommendations in
this report as a step towards improving the development process in Maple Ridge.

GUIDELINES FOR CONSIDERATION OF
MINOR AMMENDMENTS TO DEVELOPMENT PERMITS
Introduction
These criteria are intended as a guide for review of minor changes to approved Development Permit
drawings, which will not result in the need for an amendment application to be considered by Council.
Minor changes do not include modifications to the basic form and character of a development and will
not involve impact to adjacent properties and the streetscape. Proposed modifications should enhance
the project and should not change the basic site planning and urban design details.
Applicants should identify all required modifications from the original Development Permit submission,
at the building permit review stage, to allow the total impact of proposed changes to be assessed. This
assessment is not intended for approval of modifications which have already been constructed.
Criteria
In order to be considered for minor amendment, the following criteria must be met:
Proposed modifications must not require any new development variances or increase approved
variances.
The density as defined in the applicable zoning category of the development must not be increased
beyond the level specified in the approved Development Permit.
Proposed modifications must not alter elements that were controversial or that attracted
considerable discussion from the public, staff, Advisory Design Panel, or Council during the
original Development Permit process.
4. Proposed exterior modifications must maintain or enhance the quality of the development and must
retain the basic form and character of the development.
Modifications should not alter the approved lot coverage, siting, scale, spacing, or configuration of
buildings, with the exception of minor changes and additions to buildings to accommodate
Building Code or servicing requirements.
Approved open space and amenity areas should be maintained; proposed changes to landscaping
detail should be minor in nature and of equivalent value to approved plans.
7. Proposed changes to the location and configuration of vehicle access and parking areas should be
minor in nature.
Proposed modifications must not contravene the applicable Development Permit Area Guidelines
and Objectives.

(c) Revenue recognition
Taxation
Annual levies for non -optional municipal services and general administrative services are recorded as Taxes for
municipal purposes.
Levies imposed by other taxing authorities are not included as Taxes for municipal purposes.
Taxes are recognized as revenue in the year they are levied.
Through the British Columbia Assessments appeal process Taxes may be adjusted by way of supplementary roll
adjustments. The affects of these adjustments on Taxes are recognized at the time they are awarded.
User fees and other revenue
Charges for sewer and water usage are recorded as User fees and other revenue.
Senior government transfers
Unconditional grant revenue is recognized when it is received.
Conditional grant revenue is recognized to the extent the conditions imposed on it have been fulfilled.
Development revenue
Receipts which are restricted by the legislation of senior governments or by agreement with external parties are
reported as Restricted Revenues at the time they are received. When qualifying expenditures are incurred
restricted revenues are brought into revenue as Development revenue. Restricted Revenues are comprised of
the amounts and transactions shown on Schedule 7.
lit vesunent lit coin e
The Municipality invests in pooled funds of the Municipal Finance authority of British Columbia. Earnings of
these funds are allocated to the members from time to time based on the market value of the pool. The
Municipality recognizes only its share of the realized earnings of the pool. This revenue is recorded as
investment income and the amount is added to the cost of the units held.
To the extent that financial instruments have no stated rate of return investment income is recognized as it is
received.
Local Improvement Revenue
The Municipality records capital expenditures for property and equipment funded by local improvement
agreements as they are incurred. Revenues are recognized as Development revenue at the time of the
expenditures to the extent that they will be recoverable. Local improvement levies subsequently imposed under
the agreement are recorded as User fees and other revenue for the portion that pertains to a carrying charge.
Proceeds from disposal of property and equipment
Proceeds from the sale of tangible Property and equipment are recognized as revenue at the time of sale.
(d) Consolidated expenditures
Consolidated expenditures reported on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are reported by
function and include operating, capital and interest costs and are net of internal equipment allocations.
Reporting by object (type) of expenditure is included in the Segment Report.
(e) Property and equipment
Property and equipment purchased or constructed and work in process are reported as capital expenditures and
are classified according to their functional use. Property and equipment donated are reported at fair market value
at the time of the donation. Accumulated capital expenditures, net of disposals, are reported on Schedule 1.
Depreciation is not recorded.
(f) Subdivision infrastructure
Subdivision streets, lighting, sidewalks, drainage, and other infi-astructnre are required to be provided by
subdivision developers. Upon completion they are turned over to the Municipality. The Municipality is not
involved in the construction and does not budget for either the contribution from the developer nor the capital

Significant Accounting Policies
For the year ended December 31, 2006
expenditure in its financial plan. The budget figures presented on the financial statements are equal to the value
of infrastructure turned over to the Municipality during the year.
(g) Use of estimates/measurement uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenditures during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring use of
management estimates relate to the determination of employee future benefits, the outcome of litigation and
claims, and the percentage of completion of building and subdivision inspections. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
The Municipality monitors and treats contaminates produced at a solid waste landfill site it closed in 1989. The
eventual expenditures the Municipality intends to incur related to the site are not determinable and no accrual
for them has been recorded. Monitoring and treatment expenditures are recognized as they are made.
(h) Budget figures
The budget figures used are based on the five year financial plan adopted May 9, 2006. Contributed subdivision
infrastructure for 2006 has been added to the adopted financial plan amounts in order to better demonstrate
comparability with the actual results.
(i) Financial instruments
The Municipality's financial instruments consist of cash and temporary investments, portfolio investments,
accounts receivable, recoverable local improvements, other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
refundable performance deposits, mortgage liability, other assets, and debenture debt. Unless otherwise
indicated, it is management's opinion that the Municipality is not exposed to any significant interest, credit, or
currency risks arising from these financial instruments.
(j) Investments
Investments and pooled investments are reported using the cost method. Provisions for declines in the market
value of investments are recorded when they are considered to be other than temporary. Declines in the market
values of investments are considered to be other than temporary when the carrying value exceeds market value
for more than three years.
(k) Cost share agreement
The Municipality participates in a cost share agreement with the City of Pitt Meadows to provide all of the
Recreation and cultural services and maintain all of the parks in both municipalities. The Municipality
recognizes expenditures at their gross value and records the City of Pitt Meadows' contribution as revenue.
(1) Basis of segmentation/Segment report
The Municipality has adopted the new Public Sector Accounting Board reconunendation requiring financial
information to be provided on a segmented basis. Municipal services have been segmented by grouping
activities that have similar services objectives (by function). Revenues that are directly related to the costs of
the function have been attributed to each segment. Expenditures reported for each segment include an
allocation for internal equipment charges. Interest is allocated to functions based on the purpose of specific
borrowings.

4. Pension Plan
The Municipality and its employees contribute to the Municipal Pension Plan (the "Plan"), a jointly trusted pension
plan. The board of trustees, representing plan members and employers, is responsible for overseeing the
management of the pension plan, including investment of the assets and administration of the benefits. The pension
plan is a multi -employer contributory pension plan. Basic pension benefits provided are defined. The plan has about
130,000 active members and approximately 48,000 retired members. Active members include approximately 30,000
contributors from local governments.
Every three 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, 2003 indicated an unfunded liability of $789 million for
basic pension benefits. The next valuation will be as at December 31, 2006 with results available in 2007. The
actuary does not attribute portions of the surplus to individual employers.
The above disclosure represents the most current information at the time of the Municipality's 2006 financial audit.
Employer contributions to the Plan for 2006 were $1,266,984 ($1,019,441 for 2005) they are included in
consolidated operating expenditures. Employee contributions for 2006 were $1,145,208 ($941,983 for 2005).

6. Debenture Debt:
Debt principal is reported net of Sinking Fund balances and interest expense is reported net of Sinking Fund
earnings.
During the year the Municipality discharged the Mortgage liability held with Toronto Dominion bank and replaced
the liability with debenture debt in the amount of $16,300,000 from the Municipal Finance Authority.
The Municipality carries no debt for others.
The Debenture debt issued and outstanding as at December 31, 2006 was $47,737,412 ($33,051,518 for 2005). The
following debenture debt amounts plus related interest are payable over the next five years.

$1,812,793 $1,794,001 $1,727,113 $1,760,031 $1,779,974
As at December 31, 2006 the Municipality has approved but un-issued debenture debt in the amount of $700,000
under Loan Authorization Bylaw 6246 which expires in 2011.
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 find, 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 Municipality. The Municipality 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 $611,828 ($1,000,530 for
2005).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Year Ended December 31, 2006
8. Employee Future Benefits
The Municipality 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 Municipality after a
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 twenty years with the Municipality or retire as defined by the
Public Sector Pension Plan Act. Full time employees hired after February 11, 1999 qualify for twenty days pay
provided they work a minimum of ten years with the Municipality and retire as defined by the Public Sector Pension
Plan Act.
The Municipality 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.
An actuarial valuation of these benefits was performed to determine the Municipality's liability and accrued benefit
obligation as at December 31, 2005 and updated for December 31, 2006. The valuation resulted in an unamortized
actuarial gain of $59,100 at December 31, 2006. The benefit liability at December 31, 2006 was $3,915,400
($3,587,774 for 2005) is comprised as follows:

9. Mortgage Liability
During 2004 the Municipality's subsidiary company assumed a mortgage with the Toronto Dominion bank as part of
the acquisition of the town centre properties.
The mortgage amount ($16,692,115) plus accrued interest ($41,283) was assumed at a rate (6.5%) which was
unfavorable in relation to borrowing rates which were prevalent at the time.
The mortgage liability was revalued at the present value of the payments required under the mortgage using the
Municipality's cost of borrowing. This resulted in an increase in the liability by $997,469 which was accounted for
as a discount in proceeds received. The discount was amortized over the remaining term of the mortgage.
The mortgage matured in November of 2006 and was refinanced with Municipal Finance Authority debenture debt at
a rate of 4.99%. (Note 6)
The Mortgage Liability December 31, 2006 was Nil ($16,726,326 for 2005) comprised as follows

10. Contingencies, Commitments and Unrecognized Liabilities:
(a) Third Party Claims
Where losses related to litigation are likely and can be reasonably estimated management accrues its best
estimate of loss. For 2006 this estimate is $612,116 ($534,000 for 2005).
The Municipality is further exposed to losses with respect to claims, the likelihood of which is not known.
Management estimates that the exposure is approximately $63,000. This estimate is based on the deductible
portion of insurance claims and on the mid -range of other non -insurable claims. Additional accounts payable, if
any, will be recorded in the period they become determinable.
(b) Contractual Obligations
(i) Sewer and Water
(a) Under cost sharing agreements with the Greater Vancouver Water District, the Municipality is
committed to make annual payments as follows:
Until the year 2007 totaling $20,223 plus related interest for the water reservoir on Dewdney Trunk
Road at 248°i Street, the current annual payment is $87,149 including interest until 2007 when the
payment terms are to be renegotiated.
Until the year 2012 totaling $104,370 plus related interest for the water main joint 1. Current annual
payment is $226,7 % including interest until 2012.
Annual Report 2006 District of Maple Ridge
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Year Ended December 31, 2006
(b) Under a cost sharing agreement with the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District, the
Municipality is committed to make annual payments until 2012 totaling $870,307 plus related interest
for facilities in the Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows sub -area. The current annual payment is $220,482 plus
interest.
(c) The Municipality has entered into a cost share agreement with the Greater Vancouver Water District
for the construction of infrastructure. Under this agreement the Municipality expects to incur liabilities
of approximately $9,000,000 over the next seven years. The liability will be recorded as the related
costs are incurred.
(ii) Recreation and Cultural Services
(a) In 1998 the Municipality entered into an agreement to purchase ice sheet time for five years
commencing in 1999, with a five-year renewal option. In January 2004 the Municipality renewed the
agreement for an additional five-year period. The minimum annual payment due for the provision of
ice time is $552,225. These payments are recorded as expenditures when the ice time is provided.
(c) Contingent Gains
In 1998 the Municipality provided financial assistance, including property appraised at $2.2 Million, to the
Maple Ridge Elderly Citizen Recreation Association in order to enable them to construct a residential housing
complex for senior citizens.
In exchange for the assistance, the Association agreed to place restrictive covenants on each unit, which could
recover up to $1.45 Million on re -sales by subsequent owners. These covenants apply until 2030.
At December 31, 2006 a further $0.68 million ($1.06 million for 2005) remains recoverable.
In 2006 proceeds from the resale of units under the restricted covenants amounting to $378,985 ($267,031 for
2005) were paid to the Municipality. These proceeds are recorded as User fees and other revenue.
(d) Unrecognized Liability
The Municipality 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 Municipality
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 Municipality 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 Municipality chose to withdraw. Consequently no liability has been recognized in these financial statements.

Management's Responsibility
For Financial Reporting
The information in this Annual Report is the responsibility of management_ The consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles as outlined under "Significant
Accounting Policies" on pages 3 to 5. These include some amounts based on management's best estimates and careful
judgment.
Management maintains a system of internal accounting controls to provide reasonable assurance that assets are
safeguarded and that transactions are authorized, recorded, and reported properly. Management also administers a
program of proper business compliance.
BDO Dunwoody LLP, the Municipality's independent auditors, has audited the accompanying financial statements.
Their report accompanies this statement.
Council carries out its responsibility for the consolidated financial statements principally through its Audit Committee.
The Committee meets with management nine times on a scheduled basis and at least semi-annually with BDO
Dunwoody LLP to review their activities and to discuss auditing, internal control, accounting policy, and financial
reporting matters. BDO Dunwoody LLP has unrestricted access to the Municipality, the Audit Committee, and Council.
The Audit Committee reviews the consolidated financial statements with management prior to submission to Council for
approval. It also reviews the recommendations of the independent auditors for improvements to controls and as well as
the actions of management to implement such recommendations.

SUBJECT: Adjustments to 2006 Collector's Roll
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
BC Assessment (BCA) has made a revision to the 2006 Collector's Rolls through the issuance of
Supplementary Roll 2006-14. The Collector is required to make all the necessary changes to the
municipal tax roll records and report these adjustments to Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
The report dated May 30, 2007 is submitted for information.
DISCUSSION:
(a) Background Context:
One folio is affected:
The property in question is owned by a Church and the regulations governing statutory exemption for
churches were incorrectly applied. As a result of a review by the Property Assessment Appeal Board,
BCA has been directed to change the classification of some of the land and buildings previously
considered residential class to non-profit class and exempted to comply with the statutory exemption
granted churches.
(Municipal tax decrease, residential class $ 786)
Business Plan/Financial Implications:
There is a total decrease of $1,433.26 in tax revenue of which the municipal share is $786.
CONCLUSIONS:
Review by the PAAB resulted in a decrease of the current residential assessment base of approx.
$195,000.
This report dated May 31, 2007 is submitted for information and is available to the public.

SUBJECT: Fraser Valley Regional Library Operating and Services Agreement
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The attached agreement is forwarded to Council for consideration. The agreement is a duplicate
of the previous agreement entered into with the Regional Library system.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to sign the Fraser Valley Regional Library
Operating and Services Agreement for 2007.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
2002 was the first year an agreement was signed between the Municipality and the FVRL.
The agreement reflected the prior unwritten agreement between the District and FVRL. The
2007 agreement has not changed significantly over 2006.
b) Desired Outcome:
The desired outcome of the agreement and our relationship with FVRL is the provision of
excellent Library services in as cost effective a fashion as possible. The required efficiencies
have been achieved through regional collaboration.
c) Strategic Alignment:
Part of ensuring a safe and livable community is ensuring basic services are available for
citizens. Maple Ridge residents make excellent use of the Library (over 60% of Maple Ridge
households make use of the resource).
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Use of the Library has increased significantly (by approximately 40%) since the new facility
opened and the hours were increased to include Mondays and Sunday afternoons through
much of the year.
e) Interdepartmental Implications: N/A
1:A7700 Recreation\7960 Library\CR FVRL Operating Agreement 2007.doc
1151
f) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The Library levy has been established for 2006 and reflects the service levels described in the
agreement. Council discussed and endorsed the Library budget previously.
g) Policy Implications: N/A
h) Alternatives:
Council could request adjustments to the agreement or decline to sign the agreement.
Declining to sign would result in considerable uncertainty with respect to our relationship
with the FVRL. Since the Library has provided excellent services to Maple Ridge residents
neither of these options is recommended.
CONCLUSIONS:
The Library Services Agreement with the Fraser Valley Regional Library has been very positive
in terms of providing valuable services to Maple Ridge residents in a cost-effective manner. The
new agreement is the same as an agreement negotiated late in 2001 with a few minor exceptions
to continue to meet the needs. It is felt to be appropriate to continue the current relationship as
described in the agreement.
