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. 100 CALL TO ORDER 200 OPENING PRAYERS Jim Zelinski - Maple Ridge Baptist Church 300 INTRODUCTION OF ADDITIONAL AGENDA ITEMS 400 APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA 500 ADOPTION AND RECEIPT OF MINUTES 501 Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of September 11, 2007 502 Minutes of the Public Hearing of September 18, 2007 503 Minutes of the Development Agreements Committee Meetings of September 7 and 18, 2007.

MAPLE RIDGE TO: FROM: CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE His Worship Mayor Gordon Robson DATE: September 5, 2007 and Members of Council FILE NO: RZ/070/06 Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W SUBJECT: First Reading Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw Nos. 6508-2007 and 6512-2007 Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No.6467-2007 22875 132 AVE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: An application has been received to rezone the subject property located in the Silver Valley area from RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) to the following five zones: • R-1 (Residential District), RST (Street Townhouse Residential Zone), and CD -3-98 (Comprehensive Development Zone) to permit the subdivision of 58 lots; • RS -1d (One Family Urban [Half Acre] Residential) to permit a one acre parcel subdivision, enabling the existing house site to remain as part of the development; • A-1 (Small Holding Agricultural) for the portion of land at the south end of the subject site that is designated Agricultural in the Official Community Plan. Ten of the 58 lots, discussed above, are proposed as attached duplex -type units that are each fee- simple units with no common property, as opposed to stratified units with common property ownership. A new zone (RST — Street Townhouse Residential Zone) has been prepared to permit development of the attached non -strata units. The proposed use of Eco -Cluster residential development complies with the Official Community Plan, except for one portion of the site designated as conservation area. The applicant has applied to remove a portion of the site out of the conservation area, because it has a slope that is less than 20% and no significant environmental features have been identified. In exchange, the applicant is proposing to dedicate some of the steeper portions of the site that are not currently designated as Conservation. The applicant has requested a relaxation of the 30 metre setback requirement for small tributary off the mainstem of Cattell Brook, to a minimum setback of 15 metres, in exchange for an expanded setback to the north of the three artificially created Cattell Brook Ponds and restoration of the south portions of Cattell Brook and the three ponds. An equestrian trail is proposed to run east/west through the dedicated area at the south end of the site. A dedicated park is proposed for the highest elevation on the site to protect the rocky outcrop identified in that location as well as the expansive viewscape. This location will be included in the Natural Features Development Permit that is required for this site. 1101 The lower portion of the subject site, south of Cattell Brook, is not proposed for inclusion in the subject development, as it is designated Agriculture and proposed to remain as such. The application includes a rezoning of the Agricultural portion of the site from RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) to A-1 (Small Holding Agricultural) and the subdivision of this portion from the proposed development area. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6508-2007 be read a first time and forwarded to Public Hearing; 2. That in accordance with Section 879 of the Local Government Act opportunity for early and ongoing consultation has been provided by way of posting Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6508-2007 on the municipal website and requiring that the applicant host a Development Information Meeting, and Council considers it unnecessary to provide any further consultation opportunities, except by way of holding a public hearing on the bylaw; 3. That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6508-2007, be considered in conjunction with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan; 4. That it be confirmed that Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6508-2007, is consistent with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan; 5.

That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading: i) Preliminary approval from the Ministry of Environment, Water Management Branch; ii) Preliminary approval from the Ministry of Environment, Fish and Wildlife Branch; -2 iii) Approval from the Agricultural Land Commission for the registration of a conservation amenity covenant on the creeks located on the portion of the site that will be subdivided and remain in the Agricultural Land Reserve; iv) Registration of a Rezoning Servicing Agreement including the deposit of security as outlined in the Agreement; v) Registration of a geotechnical report on title, which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed development; vi) A Statutory right of way plan and agreement must be registered at the Land Title Office; vii) Road dedication as required; viii) A Restrictive Covenant for the duplex design must be registered at the Land Title Office; ix) A Restrictive Covenant requiring the Nelson family house to be reconstructed on the existing footprint; x) Park dedication as required, including provision of walkways and equestrian trail; DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Owner: Legal Description: OCP: Existing: Proposed: Zoning: Existing: Proposed: SuwTounding Uses North: South: East: Use: Zone: Designation Use: Zone: Designation: Use: DAMAX CONSULTANTS DAVID LAIRD NORMA Y NELSON Lot: 2, Block: 6, Section: 29, Township: 12, Plan: 14756 Section: 29, Township: 12 Eco -Cluster Eco -Cluster RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) R-1 (Residential District), RMST (Street Townhouse Residential Zone), CD -3-98 (Comprehensive Development) Eco -Cluster with single-family units CD -3-98 (Comprehensive Development Zone) Eco -Cluster Single -Family Rural Residential RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) Agricultural Land Reserve Vacant -3- West: Zone: Designation: Use: Zone: Designation: Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Site Area: Access: Servicing: Companion Applications: b) Project Description: RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) Eco -Cluster Vacant RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) Eco -Cluster Single -Family Residential Single -Family (Eco -Cluster) Residential 10.07 HA 136th Avenue (soon to be constructed) Full Urban SD/070/06 & DP/070/06 The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject site to permit the subdivision and development of 58 lots. Most of the tots are proposed for RS -1 (Residential District) zoning to permit single-family development and ten lots are proposed for a newly proposed RST (Street Townhouse Residential) zoning that will permit a duplex -style form of townhouse that will not be bound together by a strata -title, but instead subdivided along the line that extends through the party wall and continues to the front and rear lot lines. An easement will be registered on these lots to ensure that all joint maintenance issues are addressed prior to occupancy. The easement will be registered at subdivision. Six of the proposed lots at the north end of the site require rezoning to CD -3-98 (Comprehensive Development) to match the zoning already in place on the site to the north, on which a subdivision was recently approved. At the subdivision stage, these six lots will each be subdivided and consolidated with the single-family lots to the north. The applicant is requesting an amendment to a portion of the conservation area shown for this site on the Silver Valley Area Plan, as an environmental assessment found that most of the west side of the site is developable land that is not encumbered by steep slopes, creeks, or other significant environmental features. However, a rocky outcrop, with a panoramic viewscape, was identified on the northern portion of this designated conservation area and the applicant has agreed to dedicate this significant environmental feature. Approximately 40% of the subject site will remain as conservation area, through park dedication, due to steep slopes, setback requirements from Cattell Brook, and the rocky outcrop, discussed above. -4- The development is expected to be similar to that of the award winning Silver Ridge Eco -Cluster, with similar housing design, and the incorporation of innovative stormwater management standards. The lot geometry proposed for this development is aligned with the Eco -Cluster vision defined in the Silver Valley Area Plan, which includes: • Condensing housing clusters within clearly defined limits; • Proposing minimal site regrading; • Incorporating parkettes, which serve as green frontage for most units; • Maximizing retention of existing vegetation; • Limiting development to areas where existing grades are less than 20%; • Natural open spaces are connected and continuous, creating wildlife corridors; • Protecting environmentally sensitive areas through public ownership; • Retaining and enhancing unique natural features, such as rocky knolls; • Providing a variety of trails that ensure linkages and connections to surrounding amenities; c) Planning Analysis: The northern portion of the subject site, from Cattell Brook northward, is located in Silver Valley and proposed as an Eco -Cluster development. The site grades vary from 10% to greater than 30% slopes, making some areas of the site a challenge to develop. A creek, known as Cattell Brook, runs through the site, starting at its headwaters at the northeast side of the site and flowing to the south end of the site where it turns west, connects with three artificial ponds, and continues directly across the bottom portion of the site. There is a requirement for a 30 metre setback from the top of bank, however, the applicant has requested a relaxation for this to 15 metres at the headwaters of a tributary flowing into Cattell Brook and for a reduction to 27 metres at two locations upslope of Cattell Ponds. Compensation for these relaxations involves restoration work on the ponds, riparian plantings where needed and expanded setbacks in various areas for a net gain of riparian habitat. The rocky outcrop at the top of site, which is designated as conservation area, extends under the footprint of the existing house site — "the Nelson house site" (the house burned down recently). The current property owners intend to retain the housing site through subdivision into a one acre parcel and subsequently rebuild the house. The house site is proposed for rezoning to RS-ld (One Family Urban [Half Acre] Residential). In order to ensure that the new house does not encroach any further into the rocky outcrop area, a covenant will be attached to the Nelson house site requiring that the house be reconstructed on the existing footprint. The rocky outcrop area outside of the Nelson house site is proposed for dedication into public ownership. Access to the viewpoint atop the rocky outcrop will be from hiking trails proposed at the following entry points: 1) 136th Avenue; 2) Nelson Peaks Drive, adjacent to first parkette off of 136th Avenue; 3) the end of Nelson Peaks Drive, adjacent to the last parkette on the roadway. A subdivision application has been received for this site, which will involve the subdivision of the individual parcels and the subdivision of the portion of this site designated as Agricultural land. The portion of the site that is designated as Agricultural use will be subdivided from the proposed development and be rezoned to A-1 (Small Holding Agricultural). -5 Access to the site is proposed off of 136th Avenue, which will be constructed along with the recently approved subdivision to the north. A secondary access will be created as a 6.0 metre emergency access/exit only and will run east/west between the west side of the site and the site to the west. A locked gate will prevent regular vehicular movement through the emergency access and the Fire Department will hold a key for emergency purposes. The portion of the site in the Agricultural Land Reserve will be subdivided from the proposed development and will maintain its current access through a panhandle driveway off of 132nd Avenue. There is an existing driveway that continues northward past this lot through the subject site providing driveway access to the existing house footprint at the top of the hill (the house burned down recently). A portion of this driveway will become an emergency/maintenance road for access to the three Cattell Brook ponds. Access to this maintenance road, which will have a locked gate and keys provided to the Parks and Fire Depai tments, will be from the newly constructed road off of 136th Avenue. A horse trail is proposed at the south end of the site and is intended to connect with a trail network continuing through the adjacent sites to the east and west. Official Community Plan: The proposed Eco -Cluster development is one of only a few Silver Valley sites, to date, that has required a rezoning application in addition to a subdivision application, as most of the previous Eco -Cluster developments have occurred on pre -zoned land. An Eco -Custer is defined in the Silver Valley Area Plan as: A group of housing units, condensed within clearly defined limits, surrounded by open space and linked to other parts of the Silver Valley community by a single local road. The plan recognizes that the areas designated as Eco -Cluster often have steep slopes and the intent is to encourage lots that take advantage of areas with slopes less than 20% grade by clustering development in these areas and leaving the steeper sloped areas in a forested condition. This development approach requires minimal site re -grading. The Plan vision is for a fairly rural type of development that is sensitive to all aspects of the environment, including views, watercourses, environmental features, tree preservation, and connected and continuous natural open spaces. Parkettes are to be incorporated into the site plan as a frontage focal point for the housing unit clusters. Proposed Amendment to Official Community Plan: The portion of the site proposed for Eco -Cluster development is in compliance with the Official Community Plan, except for the area designated for conservation on the east side of the site. The applicant has applied to amend the Official Community Plan, to permit a reduction in the area of this conservation designation. Early in the process, the applicant inquired about the rationale for environmental significance of the large conservation area designated at the east side of the site. The applicant noted that there was a rocky outcrop at the upper -most portion of the area, but asserted that the land just below had no significant environmental features and most of it was less than 25% slope. Some of the conservation designations in the Silver Valley Area Plan were not ground-truthed during the preparation of the plan and as such, the Environmental Planner subsequently inspected the site. The Environmental Planner was unable to identify any significant environmental features and found that most of the area in question has an existing grade that is suitable for development (between 10 and 20% slopes). -6- The rocky outcrop that was identified within the conservation designation at the highest point of the site is an environmentally unique and sensitive feature that will remain within the conservation designation and as mentioned above, is proposed for dedication. The existing footprint of the Nelson house that is also located within the designated conservation area is proposed for removal from the conservation designation in order to permit reconstruction and retain the residential use of the family housing site. A covenant will be placed on the site requiring that the house be located where it was located previously. The existing conservation designation located across the southern portion of the site will be increased with the additional dedicated area that is proposed beyond the 30 metre setback required for the Cattell Brook and ponds. The development site, less the agricultural land, has an area of 10.155 hectares and 5.833 hectares (57.4%) will be dedicated as Conservation. Densities: The applicant has proposed a density of 13 units per net hectare, which is at the top end of the 5 to 15 range set for Eco -Clusters in the Silver Valley Plan. The plan encourages a variety of housing types within and between Eco -Clusters and the form of development proposed here is 49 single family homes and 10 units of attached duplex style design. These 10 attached units represent the first multi -family styled units for an Eco -cluster designated area and may be the first in Silver Valley. Zoning Bylaw: There are five zones proposed for the subject site: R-1 (Residential District), CD -3-98 (Comprehensive Development), RS-ld (One Family Urban (Half Acre) Residential), a proposed new zone called RST (Street Townhouse Residential) Zone, and A -I (Small Holding Agricultural). The majority of the 58 lots are proposed to become R-1 (Residential District) sites. There are seven lots which straddle the north property line and these are proposed as CD -3-98 (Comprehensive Development) to match the zoning on the site to the north. This will permit a consolidation subdivision and development of seven lots that will front onto 136th Avenue. Ten of the 58 lots are proposed for rezoning to the RST (Street Townhouse Residential) zone, which is discussed below. As discussed above, the original Nelson house site will remain within the family and as such is proposed for subdivision into a one acre parcel. This parcel is therefore proposed for rezoning to RS-ld (One Family Urban (Half Acre) Residential). The portion of the site that is designated Agricultural Land is proposed to be rezoned to A-1 (Small Holding Agricultural) for consistency with the Zoning Matrix outlined in the Official Community Plan. Draft of Proposed RST (Residential Townhouse Zone): A new zone is proposed as part of this rezoning application to permit the development of 10 duplex units. The Silver Valley Plan encourages a variety of housing types throughout Eco -Cluster developments, but currently Maple Ridge does not have an existing zone that could easily accommodate this type of development. In order to accommodate and encourage a variety of housing types in Silver Valley Eco - Clusters, as part of the ongoing implementation of the Silver Valley Area Plan, the RST (Street Townhouse Residential Zone) was drafted and is attached, for Council consideration. -7 The zone is intended for use in the Eco -Cluster designated areas of Silver Valley Area only, as it permits a fairly large 223 m2 (2400 s.£) unit, excluding basement, either in a duplex or triplex form, which is greater than the anticipated size of attached housing form within the urban area boundary. Although rear lanes are encouraged in Silver Valley, the topography can make this type of development difficult and therefore, the zone will allow for both rear lane and non -rear lane access. The RST zone is intended to permit a "zero lot line" subdivision, which will result in each owner having no common property between them. For such non -strata duplex proposals, an easement will be required on the duplex property titles prior to unit construction. The easement will deal with issues relating to shared walls and will set out the terms under which each owner will be required to cooperate. The building design proposed for the duplexes will be secured through a Restrictive Covenant put on title prior to subdivision of the individual units. This covenant will also require that the duplex lots cannot be sold separately until after the duplexes have been fully constructed. Requested Variances: The applicants will be requesting variances to the R-1 zone for the following: • Front Setback: To be reduced from.5.5 metres to 4 metres, except for the garage, which will remain at the 5.5 metre setback, to provide opportunity to preserve existing ground cover in the rear gardens. • Rear Setback: To be reduced from 8 metres to 6 metres, as discussed above. • Building Height: To be increased from a maximum permitted height of 9 metres to 11 metres, to enable a greater slope to the roof design. Development Permits: The Cattell Brook watercourse and ponds triggered a Watercourse Protection Development Permit, which requires an environmental impact assessment within 50 metres of the edge of the watercourse. The applicant has requested a reduction in the 30 metre stream setback requirements at three locations: 1) to 15 metres at the headwater of the Cattell Brook tributary; 2&3) approximately 27 metres at two locations upslope of Cattell Ponds. A report prepared by Golder & Associates, dated July 24, 2007, notes that an expanded setback is proposed in various areas that will result in a "net gain of 3,360 m2 in the amount of riparian habitat preserved". Golder has outlined the following remediation activities that will be undertaken as part of this application: • Removal of garbage from the area around the ponds; • Removal of the concrete pad; • Excavation of the area between the ponds to expand the western pond by 1300 m2; • Re -grading the pond margins to produce a more sloping bank profile suitable for emergent plant growth; • Planting of emergent vegetation around the ponds; and • Planting riparian vegetation around the perimeter of the ponds. -8- Through the Watercourse Protection Development Permit, the applicant will be required to provide a re- grading and riparian planting plan, prepared by a professional. The District's Environmental Planner has reviewed this proposal and is supportive of the environmental components of the project. The rocky outcrop area at the top of the site that is proposed for dedication contains a significant amount of an invasive plant species called Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius). The protection and enhancement of natural features, such as rocky knolls, are encouraged in the Silver Valley Area Plan and therefore, the broom is required to be removed and a plan for planting native species will be prepared to accompany the Environmental Features Development Permit. Advisory Design Panel: A development permit for form and character is not required for the duplex style form of development and therefore, this application will not be subject to Advisory Design Panel review. Development Information Meeting: A development information meeting was held on the evening of March 14th at the Yennadon Elementary School. The applicants reported that the general reaction to the plan was very positive. The public in attendance at the meeting had the following concerns: • Increased traffic and its impact on road safety in the area (specifically 128th Ave., east of 227°i & west of 232"d); • A positive comment was made on the horse trail to be constructed across the southern slopes and the plan that it be continued through developments to the east and west; • The clustering of homes was noted as a positive reflection of the Eco -Cluster designation requirements in the Silver Valley Plan, along with the mix of housing types; • The narrower road widths and stormwater management concepts similar to the Silver Ridge development were also viewed positively by one local resident; (I) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: The comments provided by the Engineering Department are as follows: • Sidewalks and equestrian trail must be provided; • Sanitary sewer main is required from the pump station at 136th Avenue; • Must show how upgrade to watermain for this site will integrate into the overall municipal system in the area; • A geotechnical review has been provided for this site; • Ministry of Environment review is required for any works at Cattell Brook and the south portion of the site, which is located in the North Alouette River Flood Plain; • A six metre road dedication is required along the 132vd Avenue road frontage; • A statutory right-of-way is required on the property to the west of this in support of the sanitary sewer main which is to be extended from the pump station on 136`x' Avenue; • An erosion and sediment control plan for the servicing works is required in accordance with the Watercourse Protection Bylaw; -9- • The refundable security amount and municipal charges will be determined after the applicant's professional engineer provides a design for the servicing works; • The two properties involved in this development application are to be consolidated at the rezoning stage. The legal plan will also include the road dedication on 132nd Avenue; • The park land will be dedicated at the rezoning stage; • At the subdivision stage, the south portion of the properties that are in the ALR will form an RS - 3 lot. A water connection will be required at that time, as will proof of sewage disposal and compliance with flood plain regulations. Parks & Leisure Services Department: The Parks & Leisure Services Depai tment have identified that after the subdivision of this site is completed they will be responsible for maintaining the dedicated park areas and the street trees. hi the case of this project it is estimated that there will be an additional 59 trees which is based on one tree per lot. The final subdivision design will provide exact numbers. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that the maintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree will increase their budget requirements by $1,475.00. Fire Department: The Fire Department has provided the following comments: Access: • The current access to 132nd Avenue should be maintained as secondary access/egress until the intended secondary access/egress is constructed through to the development to the west of this site. Strata Portion: • Carriage width of access lane to be a minimum of 6 metres and must be rated for a minimum of 35,000 Kg with a minimum forced of 70 P.S.I.; • Driveways to the townhouses should be long enough to accommodate a standard sized vehicle (not a compact car). This will alleviate some parking issues; • Any turnaround: o Ensure no -stopping signs are installed before occupancy. This is to ensure it is clearly evident that this is a required turn around and must be kept clear at all times; o Required to be a minimum 6 metres wide and 8 metres in depth; • Carriage width to be a minimum of 6 metres (with no on -street parking permitted). Fire Hydrants: • Preferred location of fire hydrants is on corner lots; • Preferred location of fire hydrants is at main entrances as well as at the T intersections; • Private hydrants are to be lime -yellow with white caps; • Measures are to be in place to ensure landscaping does not encroach on access and visibility and that hydrants can be kept clear in all weather conditions. - 10 - Intergovernmental Issues: Local Government Act: An amendment to the Official Community Plan requires the local government to consult with any affected parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section 882 of the Act. The amendment required for this application, OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 6508-2007 and No. 6512-2007, is considered to be minor in nature. It has been determined that no additional consultation beyond existing procedures is required, including referrals to the Board of the Regional District, the Council of an adjacent municipality, First Nations, the School District or agencies of the Federal and Provincial Governments. Section 882(3) of the Local Government Act also requires the local government consider the Financial Plan and Waste Management Plan when adopting an OCP amendment. The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial Plan/Capital Plan and the Waste Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact. I) Environmental Implications: The applicant has completed an arborist report on the site, which identified significant trees and also significant tree retention areas. The site plan was prepared after completion of the arborist report and all the trees noted for retention in the arborist report are intended for protection as shown on the attached site plan. To aid with rainwater infiltration at pre -development rates, the applicant has agreed that the stormwater management principles utilized in the Silver Ridge Eco -Cluster development will also be used to guide the stormwater management design for the subject site. The stormwater design for this site will include two roadside swales, street trees on both sides of the street, and roof drains that will be directed into rain gardens on each lot. However, the grades are steeper on this site and at this point, the applicant has not determined if the roadside swales will be able to be located in the steepest areas. The ponds located at the south end of the site will be restored for the benefit of fish and wildlife, the ponds will also be designed to serve as stormwater storage and biofiltration ponds. CONCLUSION: The lot geometry presented for the proposed Eco -Cluster development is aligned with the Silver Valley Area Plan in that the design has achieved the clustering of units with distinct boundaries, a rural character with most lots facing a parkette or green belt, a variation in housing form, innovative stormwater management, wildlife corridors, and the protection of environmentally sensitive areas resulting in 40% of the site proposed as conservation area. A new zone is accompanying this application to permit a street -front non -strata townhouse form of housing for Eco -cluster developments and the Silver Valley area and encourage a greater variation in housing form, as envisioned within the Area Plan. - 11 - Therefore, it is recommended that this application and accompanying bylaws proceed to Council for consideration.

This was reaffirmed in January 2007, when Council by resolution directed that a consultant be hired to develop a Request for Proposals (RFP) to develop a gravel operation on the District's property Following Council's direction, Stantec Consulting Ltd. was hired to assist in preparing and issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to develop a gravel operation and preparing a rezoning application for the District property on 256th Street. Stantec have submitted an application to rezone 14.9 hectares of a 60.6 hectare site owned by the District to M4 (Extraction Industrial) to permit the extraction and processing of gravel resources. This proposal is consistent with the Official Community Plan A text amendment to Zoning Bylaw No. 3510-1985 has been proposed to allow for two additional accessory uses in the M-4 (Extraction Industrial) zone: a) accessory asphalt plant and product manufacturing; b) accessory concrete plant and product manufacturing. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6495-2007 be given first reading and be forwarded to Public Hearing; 2. That Text Amending Bylaw no. 6501-2007 be given first reading and be forwarded to Public Hearing; 3. The creation of an equestrian trail around area to be mined be incorporated into the agreement with the operator; and 4. That the following term(s) and condition(s) be met prior to final reading: 1102 i) An approved Watercourse Protection Development Permit; ii) Approval from BC Hydro as per the proposed land alterations on the BC Hydro Right - of -Way; iii) An approved Soil Removal Permit issued from the District of Maple Ridge. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: STANTEC CONSULTING, JOHN STEIL Owner: THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE Legal Description: Lot: 1, D.L.: 5326, Plan: LMP13975 OCP: Existing: Proposed: Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Surrounding Uses North: South: East: West: Rural Resource, Forest Rural Resource A-2 (Upland Agricultural) M-4 (Extraction Industrial) Use: Industrial Zone: M-2 (General Industrial) Designation Industrial Use: Quarrying, Digging and Removing Sand and Gravel Zone: A-2 (Upland Agricultural), P-6 (Civic Institutional) Designation: Rural Resource, Institutional, Forest Use: Forest Zone: No Zone (Outside Municipal Boundary) Designation: No OCP (Outside Municipal Boundary) Use: Fraser Regional Correctional Centre Zone: P-5 (Corrections and Rehabilitation) Designation: Institutional, Rural Resource Existing Use of Property: Vacant Proposed Use of Property: Gravel Processing, Asphalt and Concrete Manufacturing. Site Area: 14.9 ha (36.8 acres) Access: 256th Street Servicing: N/A Previous Applications: RZ/072/01 -2- PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The site is 14.9 hectares (36.8 acres) in size and located on the north east corner of 256 Street and the unconstructed 136 Avenue right-of-way. This represents approximately 24% of the total property (60.56 ha or 149 acres). A BC Hydro transmission line right-of-way crosses the property as does the access road to the Municipal reservoir. An equestrian trail, to the Blue Mountain Provincial Forest area also crosses the property. Zirk Brook is located on the south portion of the site. To the south is the unconstructed 136 Avenue right-of-way and the Fire Training Centre of the Justice Institute of B.C. The property is currently zoned A-2 (Upland Agricultural) and is designated as Rural Resource. The area north of 256th Street has long been identified as having significant gravel deposits. Successive OCP's have recognized the value of this non renewable resource. Most recently the OCP adopted in November 2006 reaffirmed that gravel should be considered for removal prior to development. In 2000 a Gravel Strategy was adopted which reaffirmed a commitment to the historical amounts of gravel to be removed from the area until an alternative route to 256th Street is developed. This was reaffirmed in the 2006 OCP. In December 2006 Council adopted an amended Soil Removal Bylaw which assigned the historical amount of 300,000 cubic meters per year among the District's property and two other properties. The assigned amount of 200,000 cubic meters per year formed the basis to develop a gravel operation on the District owned property. Since the adopting of the Bylaw, two soil removal permits have been issued, each in the amount of 50,000 cubic meters per year to the other two properties. The major components of the proposed gravel pit will include: • Clearing, grubbing, stripping and stockpiling of topsoil or overburden; • Excavation of the gravel pit in accordance with the Mine Plan, including processing; • Implementation of sediment and erosion control measure including development of infiltration areas; • Installation of temporary facilities which may require septic and water services; and • Reclamation of the site. While gravel extraction is not a land use, processing of gravel can only be undertaken in certain zones. An application in support of the Gravel Strategy, which will permit the processing of gravel as a permitted use on the southwest portion of the site has been received. This report will deal with the land use issues related to the application and necessary amendments to Zoning Bylaw No. 3510-1985. The District is currently in the process of reviewing proposals from potential operators of the proposed gravel pit. Should the Zoning Application be advanced to third reading, it is understood. that the District would work with the selected operator who would be required to complete the outstanding conditions and requirements prior to proceeding to final reading. Provisions for the horse trails will have to be incorporated in to this agreement. -3- SITE HISTORY: In 1993, the Provincial Government transferred ownership of the subject site (approximately 60.6 hectares) to the District of Maple Ridge. At the time of the transfer, a restrictive covenant was registered at the Land Title Office preventing the property from being used for a landfill site. In November of 2000, after public consultation and public presentations, Council adopted its Gravel Strategy and Integrated Gravel Management Plan. That Plan established six principles as a guide to managing new sources of gravel within the District. The strategy reaffirmed and established a plan to implement existing OCP Policies. The six principles (as amended) are listed below: 1. Gravel or aggregate is a highly valued non-renewable resource and its extraction should be strongly considered and evaluated prior to development. 2. Restricting gravel extraction to historical annual levels in the area designated for industrial lands north of 256 Street offers the best integration among industry, the Municipality and local resident's interests. 3. Gravel extraction proponents must comply with all Federal, Provincial, Regional and Municipal Acts, Policies and Bylaws. Prior to any new gravel source being approved for extraction all environmental and storm water management requirements must be satisfactorily addressed. 4. Congruent with new gravel extraction operations, identifiable traffic safety improvements related to gravel extraction and transportation will continuously be investigated, reviewed and considered in the District's capital programs. 5. The District will seek to optimize its revenues from gravel extraction, within extraction levels stated in Principle 2, to off set current and future operating and capital costs. 6. To maintain its currency, this Gravel Strategy will be revisited, reviewed and modified where appropriate and formally review every 5 years in concert with the Official Community Plan review. In 2001 Golder and Associates were retained to complete an environmental assessment, and a geotechnical and hydrogeological analysis of the portion of the site under consideration. The findings of these reports will be discussed in detail later in the report. A rezoning application was made in 2001 for the M-5 (Heavy Industrial) zone to allow for gravel extraction. This application was defeated at third reading. SOIL REMOVAL BYLAW The Soil Removal Bylaw as amended in 1997 set the historic levels for gravel extraction in Maple Ridge of 300,000 m3 per year. The historic levels are allocated by Schedule A of the District's Soil Removal Bylaw No. 6398-2006. The Bylaw assigns the maximum annual amount among three properties. The amount assigned to the subject property is 200,000m3 per annum. The Soil Removal Bylaw has other requirements such as hours and days of operation, mitigation noise and drainage considerations. c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The subject property is designated Rural Resource in the Official Community and is identified as being in an area with potential gravel resources on Map Figure 3 Major Public Utilities. The OCP policies identify that Rural Resource lands are intended to provide for a range of industrial uses. Given that this proposal is to rezone to M-4 (Extraction Industrial) which is intended to provide for resource based industrial uses and primary processing, the proposal is consistent with the land use designation in the Official Community Plan. There is also recognition in the OCP that access to the 256th Industrial Area is limited, and an alternative access is required before gravel extraction can exceed historic annual levels. Policy 6-53 reads as follows: "The gravel reserves in the Rural Resource area at the north end of 256th Street will be considered for use prior to development of the industrial potential. However, before any additional gravel extraction traffic occurs, beyond historic levels, alternative access needs to be developed to prevent impacts on the residential character of the neighbourhood.' Based on the above policies, providing that gravel extraction on the property will not exceed the historic annual level for the area, the proposed zoning from A-2 (Upland Agricultural) to M-4 (Extraction Industrial) is consistent with the policies contained in the Official Community Plan. The subject portion of the site is proposed to be rezoned from A-2 (Upland Agricultural) to M-4 (Extraction Industrial) and is consistent with the list of zones that align with the Rural Resource land use designation, as prescribed in Appendix C "Zoning" in the Official Community Plan. Zoning Bylaw: The applicant has proposed to rezone the site to the M-4 (Extraction Industrial) zone with a text amendment in order to accommodate the proposed accessory uses. The principal use in the M4 zone is: "Extraction industrial" which is limited to gravel extraction and the primary processing of bulk good generated on the lot. -5- The Accessory uses currently permit: 1. accessory primary processing; 2. accessory off-street parking and loading use; 3. accessory one family residential use; 4. accessory office use; and 5. accessory industrial repair services. A text amendment specific to the subject property is proposed to allow for two additional items under ACCESSORY USES: a) concrete plant and product manufacturing; b) asphalt plant and product manufacturing. Development Permits: This site has an identified watercourse (Zirk Brook) on the south eastern portion and will be subject to Section 8.9 Watercourse Protection Development Permit Area Guidelines of the OCP. Therefore, it will be necessary for the applicant to have a Watercourse Development Permit approved which addresses the guidelines and objectives established in section 8.9 of the OCP for the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas. An additional Watercourse Protection Development Permit will be required before the concrete plant and related product manufacturing and the asphalt plant and related product manufacturing occurs that deals directly with these associated uses to the extraction of gravel. As per section 8.6 of the Official Community Plan, Industrial Development Permits are only required for development located within the urban area, a form and character Industrial Development Permit will, therefore, not be required for development of the subject property as it is located outside of the urban area boundary. d) . Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: The Engineering Department has identified that all the services required in support of the rezoning application are available to the site. The required services are road, water and a drainage system. Fire Department As a large portion of this site is under the power transmission lines, ensure that consideration is taken to ensure that accessory uses such as a cement production and an asphalt plant be situated so as not to be located under these lines. Ensure address is visible from the street and visible day or night. If a free standing sign is installed, ensure building address is included on the sign. Reminder when clearing site of trees, no burning is allowed. -6- Parks & Leisure Services Department This department discussed the need for trails with they Haney Horsemen, who advised that a north south trail does exist within the area under application. Based on the concept that the area will be fenced, a trail system outside of the perimeter fence on Municipal land is required. An equestrian trail that does not provide access for motor vehicles is required from 256th Street along the south boundary, north along the east boundary and west along the north boundary to provide a linkage with an existing trail on the north boundary of the existing Hydro right of way. A provision for the horse trails will be incorporated in to the agreement with the successful operator. e) Intergovernmental Issues: Greater Vancouver Regional District If the text amendment is successful, before the operator could begin to proceed with the asphalt or concrete plant they must obtain a permit from the GVRD under their Air Quality Management Bylaw. The Ministry of Energy and Mines A Mines Act Permit was issued February 28, 2002. The permit is still valid and was provided with a number of conditions that still apply. (Permit attached) B.C. Hydro BC Hydro has reviewed the proposal and provided the following preliminary comments: 1. The "office, first aid and maintenance facilities" must not be located under the overhead conductors. They must have a minimum horizontal offset of 20 m from the at -rest position of the conductor. Ideally the facility should be located off the right of way. The same applies to the "processing/wash plant". 2. The drawing shows a "5 m high bench" approximately 140 m east of 256 Street. This coincides with the point of lowest conductor to ground clearance under Circuit 5L82 in this span. This could reduce the conductor to ground clearance to unsafe levels. 3. Topsoil stockpiles along the north edge of the right of way, while depending on height (not shown) may not be an issue for this transmission circuit, but they may interfere with the proposed Circuit 5L83 project activities. (BC Hydro and BCTC are placing an additional circuit within this right of way with an in service date of 2011.) 4. The proposed chainlink fencing will need to be sectionalized and grounded as per the attached fence grounding standard. 5. If insulator cleaning or damage is a result of this operation the cost of insulator cleaning may be charged to the District of Maple Ridge. These concerns will need to be addressed before final reading once the gravel pit operator has been selected. -7- Financial Implications Through direct revenue and savings the potential value to the District is in excess of $6,000,000 over 5 years or $1,200,000 annually. This includes gravel royalties, soil removal fees, lumber revenue, asphalt savings and gravel savings. This funding can be applied to a number of initiatives including • New road access • Road improvements • Environmental initiatives • Traffic calming In addition to the direct value to the District, there is considerable value to the community. Having a local supply for both gravel and asphalt would significantly reduce costs to local contractors and developers. This could amount to several million dollars annually. Currently gravel trucks and asphalt trucks criss-cross Maple Ridge from neighbouring municipalities with no financial return to the district. A local supply of gravel and asphalt would ensure a financial return from such truck movements. Development Information Meeting: The Development Information Meeting was held in the gymnasium of Webster's Corner Elementary School from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM on September 5, 2007. Staff from Stantec Consulting, the District of Maple Ridge and Letts Environmental Consultants were in attendance. Forty (40) people signed the attendance sheets and ten affiliated interest groups were identified. Four (4) main issues were expressed at the meeting: • Increased Truck Traffic; • Potential Noise; • Horse Trail Preservation; • Possible Environmental Impacts. Alternative Access and Road Improvements: The need to develop an alternate'access was prominently identified by residents in the area. A number of significant steps have been completed to advance an alternative access. The transportation component of the OCP adopted in 2006 identified Abernethy Way as the potential alternative access to this area. The identified route connects 256th Street to the new Golden Ears Bridge and provides easier access to the new Pitt River Bridge. While the costs of this route are not insignificant, potential partners to advance this project have been identified. Translink supports part of Abernethy as a Major Regional Network road. In addition, Translink have committed to funding up to 50% to a maximum of $50,000 to undertake a route alignment and preliminary design for Abernethy to 256th Street. Municipal staff is currently working with TransLink -8- staff to advance a terms of reference for this study. This design would determine the appropriate route and costs estimates for the road, land acquisition requirements, other agency approvals and financing options. Abernethy may be a potential candidate for anticipated Federal/Provincial infrastructure grants. Industry itself may also be interested in partnering with the District and other agencies to develop this route. A design build approach similar to the construction currently being undertaken by the joint venture for the Golden Ears Bridge could also be considered. Environmental Management: An environmental assessment has been prepared for the site in 2001 by Golder Associates Ltd. and a further detailed environmental impact assessment along with an environmental management plan has been prepared by Letts Envirowise Ltd in 2007. The environmental reports cover the following materials: • a bio -physical inventory of significant natural features, functions, and habitat areas associated with the proposed site including an environmental assessment of flora, forested areas, fauna, species at risk, hydrological features, and geological issues related to the site; • recommendations for protective setback boundaries for watercourses and wetland features that are consistent with District mapping and setback guidelines; • environmental impact assessments for gravel extraction activities, along with a preliminary review for gravel washing, asphalt processing, and concrete processing activities including recommendations on suitability, further studies required, and potential mitigation measures; • environmental mitigation measures to ensure protection of significant features and protected areas; • an environmental operations management plan to be implemented through the detailed design, construction, operation and reclamation of the gravel pit; • An environmental review of the proposed gravel operation plan by Letts Envirowise. The Environmental Management Strategy examines potential environmental impacts and provides mitigation strategies including an Environmental Protection Management Plan to minimize the potential adverse environmental effects that the mining operation may have. These will include: • A Surface Water Management and Sediment Control Plan; • A Waste Management Plan; • A Spill Prevention and Emergency response Pan; • A Monitoring Plan; • A Reclamation Plan; and • An annual environmental Audit. The environmental assessment identifies the need for a 30 -metre habitat protection buffer to be established onboth Zirk Creek and the wetland area on the southwest portion of the site. A 15 -9- metre setback was also identified for a non permanent food and nutrient bearing drainage channel that runs into the mainstem of Zirk Creek. In addition specific mitigation measures were carried out to minimize potential impacts to aquatic and terrestrial resources, including additional field verification for rare and endangered species, a migratory bird nesting survey, a wildlife tree and raptor nest survey, and a tree survey to identify unique or hazard trees within the area. The Ministry of Water, Land, and Air Protection has developed a vegetation and wildlife species evaluation list for species indigenous to B.C. They are the Red -listed species, which are considered endangered or threatened and Blue -listed species, which are considered to be vulnerable. No red -listed species were observed, there was, however a Blue -listed species found in the wetland area (a red -legged frog). The Environmental Assessment identifies that the habitat of this species needs to be protected by maintaining the undisturbed 30 - metre riparian setback area adjacent to Zirk Brook and the wetland area. In the initial application, comments were solicited from the Alouette River Management Society (ARMS) and from the Kanaka Education -Environmental Partnership Society (KEEPS). Both these groups were concerned that the assessment did not cover the entire 60.6 hectare site and that it was only over one season. Since their initial review, Golder Associates and Envirowise Ltd. have undertaken additional site assessments through the fall, winter, and spring, summer seasons. The scope of the environmental assessment and impact assessment includes the area of the site under rezoning as well as the remaining portion of the municipal property to the east up to the easternmost property line. The Environmental Impact Assessment covers approximately 1 kilometer area in total. In all of the additional and recent surveys, there were no raptors' nests found nor any additional red or blue species. Should any work be contemplated beyond the current proposed phase I area (14.9 hectares), similar Environmental Assessments and Environmental Impact Assessments will be required before any approval or development will be allowed. More detailed environmental studies will also be required if and when there are any further proposals or specifications for any kind of processing activity beyond gravel extraction or gravel washing. Traffic Improvements: The need for improved traffic management on 256th was identified through the public information meeting. This can be accommodated through traffic calming, sidewalk separation improvements, a redesign of the intersection of 256th and Dewdney and road markings and signage. These improvements can be funded though the gravel reserve fund. Equestrian Trails: An existing Horse Trail exists on the site and will continue to do so during and after the gravel pit is open. The exact location of the trail will be determined prior to final reading of the bylaw and in consultation with interested parties and future operator. As in the past, the District will make every effort to ensure the trail remains available for use by the community during all stages of development on this site. - 10 - Alternatives: Gravel extraction is a resource and not a land use and is, therefore, permitted in any zone. If this application is not successful the gravel pit could proceed; but without processing or storing of the extracted material on site. As a result, the marketability of the resource would be significantly diminished and the financial returns to the District significantly lessened. Similarly if Council considers not approving the text amendment to the zone then the savings anticipated from asphalt and/or concrete facilities would be forfeited. CONCLUSION: The application supports the District Gravel Strategy and recognizes the gravel resources as identified in the Official Community Plan and on site. It is recommended that the Zone Amending Bylaw and Text Amendment be given first reading and forwarded to Public Hearing. 446: e Prepared by: Chuc Goddard, B.A., M.A. Manager of Planning and Environmental Services proved by'\Ja •ick CP, MCIP Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng M: Public Works & Development Services Concurrence; J.

MAPLE RIDGE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: His Worship Mayor Gordon Robson DATE: September 4, 2007 and Members of Council FILE NO: DP/029/05 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W SUBJECT: Development Permit 23701 KANAKA WAY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: An Intensive Residential Development Permit application has been made for subject property located at 23701 Kanaka Way. The Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw to relocate the conservation boundary and the Zone amending bylaw to the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zone was previously approved at the September 26, 2006 Council meeting. The Intensive Residential Development Permit, which was established to provide a greater emphasis on high standards in aesthetics and quality of the built environment while protecting important qualities of the natural environment, applies to this proposed development. The development proposal is for the 35 lots proposed under subdivision application SD/029/05. RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal DP/029/05 respecting property located at 23701 Kanaka Way. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Damax Consultants David Laird Owner: Donada Industries Ltd, Medowiand Industries Ltd, Lawrence Shumyla Construction Ltd, Deyor Farms Ltd Legal Description: Lot: A, D.L.: 404, Plan: LMP47845 OCP: Existing: Zoning: Existing: Urban Residential, Conservation R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District), RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) 1103 Surrounding Uses North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Conservation, Urban Residential South: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: CD -1-93 (Comprehensive Development) Designation: Urban Residential East: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: CD -1-93 (Comprehensive Development) Designation: Urban Residential West: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Designation: Urban Residential Existing Use of Property: Vacant Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential Site Area: 3.05 ha (7.5 acres) Access: Kanaka Way, proposed extension of 237 Street Servicing: Full Urban Previous Applications: RZ/029/05, CP/029/05 Companion Application: DP/047/07 - Watercourse Protection b) Project Description: The subject property is 3.05 hectares (7.5 acres) in size and is located on the north side of Kanaka Way. The applicant previously applied for an Official Community Plan amendment to relocate the conservation boundary and rezone the subject property from RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) to permit the 35 lot subdivision under SD/029/05. Council considered the OCP and rezoning application and Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6368 - 2005 and Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6369 - 2005 was approved at the regularly scheduled Council Meeting of September 26, 2006. A Preliminary Letter of Approval has also been issued by the Approving Officer for the 35 lot subdivision. As the zone for the potential lots is R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District), the applicant is required to obtain an Intensive Residential Development Permit. The applicant has proposed a variety of craftman styled homes. Those lots that have a lane also have a detached two car garage and lots orientated without a lane have a double garage located within the home itself. c) Planning Analysis: Intensive Residential Development Permit: Intensive Residential Development Permit was established to provide a greater emphasis on high standards in aesthetics and quality of the built environment while protecting important qualities of the natural environment. The key guideline concepts for the development permit area are as follows: 1. Neighbourhood cohesiveness and connectivity should be maintained through the design of varied yet compatible buildings, in materials used and in architectural styles, in -2- landscapes and in recreational areas, and by facilitating a range of transportation choices. • The proposed development is surrounded by residential uses and is compatible with other R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) and CD -1-93 developments in the area. • Twelve different single family housing designs are proposed. Each is similar in character, but is varied through materials, colours and architectural style. • A street tree plan has been submitted to the District, which meets the District's Street Trees Guidelines. 2. A vibrant street presence is to be maintained through a variety of housing styles, by maintaining street parking and by directing garage structures and off-street parking to the rear of a property accessible by a lane. • Some of the proposed have porches which create an outdoor living space. • Garages are located to the rear of the property where accessible by a municipal lane. d) Financial Implications: There will be 20 trees added to the municipal street tree inventory on completion of this project. The costs associated with maintaining these trees will need to be included in a subsequent operating budget. CONCLUSION: As the development proposal complies with the guidelines of the Intensive Residential Development Permit Area and the Multi -Family Development Permit Area, it is recommended that DP/029/05 be given favourable consideratio 1.

V2X 6A9 Dear Mr. Stott: Re: Proposed Subdivision, 23701 Kanaka Way, Maple Ridge, B.C. RECEIVED AUG 21 2007 MAPLE RIDGE PLANNING DEPARTMENT A 35 -lot single-family residential subdivision is proposed for an existing vacant parcel on the north side of Kanaka Way across from the intersection with 237th Street at 23701 Kanaka Way (the Site). The Site is bounded on the west by Horseshoe Creek. The majority of the Site is sloped to the west toward Horseshoe Creek. Through historical previous uses, the area of mature trees (cedar, fir, cottonwood) is restricted to the setback area established along Horseshoe Creek There is a proposed future townhouse site to the north of the proposed SFR lots in the northwest corner of the Site. A small, existing wetland is located near the north boundary of the future building lot. It is understood that a no -disturbance covenant will be established to protect the wetland. Setback Restoration and Enhancement Please find the attached drawing for your reference: Habitat Planting Plan, 23701 Kanaka Way. The plan shows the proposed subdivision lots and setbacks overlain on an aerial photo. As noted above, most of the setback area is currently well vegetated with mature cedar, fir and cottonwood trees. However, the outer edge of the setback area adjacent to proposed lots 30-32 is relatively open with scattered pole sapling (alder, cottonwood) trees. The area not presently treed is about 520 m in size, and the area to be planted is shown shaded in green on the attached plan. A planting list and species count is also presented on the attached plan. Based on the planting list, it is estimated that cost of planting will be $3,000 plus taxes. It is estimated that monitoring of the planting should not exceed $1,500 over the 3 year monitoring period. The cost of any replacement planting that might be required cannot be determined at this time The arborist report by Mike Fadum & Associates Ltd. (provided separately) refers to a large Bitter cherry (Prunus emarginata) tree that leans toward the subdivision lots and is supported by a westem red cedar. The Bitter cherry tree may require removal. Other hazard trees may need to be removed once the arborist has inspected the Site following completion of site preparation work. A budget of $1,000 is suggested for hazard tree replacement. ITEENXENVIRONMENTALSERVICESLID Proposed Single -Family Subdivision page 1 Horseshoe Creek, 237011Canaka Way, Maple Ridge, B.C. Rillittlir Raptor Survey A site visit was conducted on May 31 2007. The crowns of existing mature trees within the setback were examined for stick nest structures with the aid of binoculars. There were no raptor nests observed in any of the trees. None of the conifer trees exhibited large cavities suitable for raptor nesting. It should be noted, however, that the raptor survey was limited to the mature forest along the east side of Horseshoe Creek adjacent to the development site. Phased Clearing Plan The Site has already been cleared by previous historic land uses, and by recent site preparation work (i.e. construction of a temporary road and fill placement). Please contact me at 604-689-3888 if you require any clarification or additional information concerning the above matters. Sincerely, Phoenix Environmental Services Ltd.

Provide park land or an amount not to exceed 5% of the land being subdivided in a location acceptable to Council; or 2. Pay to the Municipality an amount that equals the market value of up to 5% of the land that may be required for parkland purposes. Where there is a significant watercourse and the District has the ability to include ravines and watercourse protection areas into the public realm, that area is dedicated Park. These areas provide for large vegetated areas in urban neighbourhoods that provide corridors for wildlife and passive park areas for residents. Where there is either no watercourse or the watercourse is deemed insignificant, 5% of the market value of the land is paid to the District. These funds are placed into a special Parkland Acquisition Reserve Fund, which enables the District to purchase areas deemed important for habitat protection but where the ability to achieve parkland through development is limited, such as the Blaney Bog. -1- 1105 In this particular instance there is no watercourse present and it is, therefore, recommended that money in lieu of parkland dedication be provided. In keeping with past practice, the District has requested that an appraisal be provided for the 5% market value of the development site. This appraisal is based on zoned but not serviced land. An opinion from an appraisal firm has stated that the market value of the land is $2,100,000.00, which indicates that the 5% value of this property is $105,000.00. CONCLUSION: As there are no watercourses on the property it is recommended that Council require money in lieu of parkland dedication as prescribed in the appraisal.
