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.maplerid e.ca The purpose of a Council meeting is to enact powers given to Council by using bylaws or resolutions.

The new zone, R-2 (Urban Residential District), requires a text amendment to Appendix C, Zoning Matrix, of the Official Community Plan to include the new zone. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6862-2011 be given First and Second Reading and be forwarded to Public Hearing; 2. That in accordance with Section 879 of the Local Government Act opportunity for early and on- going consultation has been provided by way of posting Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6862-2011 on the municipal website, 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. 6862-2011 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. 6862- 2011 is consistent with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan; 5. That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6613 - 2008 be given Second Reading and be forwarded to Public Hearing; and 1101 6. That the following terms and conditions be met prior to Final Reading. Road dedication as required; ii. Removal of any existing buildings; DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Pivotal Development Consultants Ltd. Owner: 0871933 BC LTD Legal Description: North 1/2 of Lot 6, Section 21, Township 12, NWD Plan 2512 except Plans 18013 and BCP46754 CoZow Existing: Urban Residential Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Proposed: R-1(Residential District), R-2 (Urban Residential District) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1b (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential Designation Urban Residential South: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (Rural Residential) Designation: Urban Residential East: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (Rural Residential) Designation: Estate Suburban Residential West: Use: Municipal Works Yard Zone: P-6 (Civic Institutional) Designation: Institutional Existing Use of Property: Vacant Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential Site Area: 0.504 ha (1.25ac) Access: 121 Avenue and a new road on the site from 240 Street Servicing requirement: Full Urban -2- b) Project Description: The development site is a large relatively flat lot on the west side of 240 Street and south of 121 Avenue. The lot has been vacant for several years but was previously a single family rural residential use. The development proposal is for a 10 lot subdivision of single family lots. The Municipal Works Yard is located to the west of the site; large suburban single family lots are located to the east and south; and a newer single family subdivision of urban single family lots are located to the north. The applicant proposes to extend 121 Avenue east across the top of the site to connect with 240 Street and provide access for 5 R-1 (Residential District) zoned lots. Road dedication of 6 metres is required on the west side of 240 Street. A new cul-de-sac is proposed on the site at the south end which will provide access for 5 R-2 (Urban Residential District) zoned lots. The new cul-de-sac will also provide access for future development of the lands to the south. c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The development site is located on the west side of 240 Street, which is identified as a major corridor, and is within the Urban Area boundary. The land is designated Urban Residential and the proposed development is consistent with the Major Corridor Residential Infill Policies 3-18, 3-20 and 3-22 for development on a major corridor. An amendment to Appendix C, Zoning Matrix, of the Official Community Plan is required to include the proposed new R-2 (Urban Residential District) Zone in the Urban Residential Designation. Zoning Bylaw: The applicant is proposing to rezone the development site to R-1 (Residential District) and a new zone, R-2 (Urban Residential District) for a subdivision of approximately 10 single family dwellings. R-2 (Urban Residential District) is a new zone proposed to bridge the lot size gap between the existing R-1 (Residential District) and the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zones, and will have a minimum lot size of 315m2 (3400ft2). The R-2 (Urban Residential District) has already received Third Reading with application RZ/067/10. However, should that application not proceed or be delayed, this application would be stalled awaiting the adoption of the R-2 (Urban Residential District) zone. To avoid this potential delay it would be appropriate to proceed with another R-2 (Urban Residential District) zone bylaw with this application. Whichever application proceeds to Final Reading first will adopt the bylaw. The bylaw that does not complete can simply be closed. Proposed Variances: This application will require 2 variances that will be subject of a future Council report. The variances a re: 1. To allow the existing above -ground Telus plant that fronts the site on 240 Street to remain. 2. To allow the driveway proposed for Lot 6 at 4.5m from the intersection corner rather than at 7.5m. -3- d) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: The Engineering Department advised that all the required services for rezoning are available for the site; therefore a Rezoning Servicing Agreement will not be required. An additional 3m of road dedication will be provided on the west side of 240 Street to allow for the installation of a storm sewer within the boulevard. At the subdivision stage, temporary turn -around, protected by a covenant, will be required on Lot 7 until the cul-de-sac can be completed on the lands to the south in the future. The Engineering Department is in support of the proposed variances as noted above. 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 10 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 $250.00. e) intergovernmental Issues: Local Government Act: In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act requirement for consultation during the development or amendment of an Official Community Plan, Council had considered at the June 14, 2011 Council Meeting, whether consultation is required with, specifically: i. The Board of the Regional District in which the area covered by the plan is located, in the case of a Municipal Official Community Plan; ii. The Board of any Regional District that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; iii. The Council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; iv. First Nations; v: School District Boards, greater boards and improvements district boards, and vi. The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies. And, in that regard, recommended that no additional consultation is required in respect of this matter beyond the early posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the District's website, together with an invitation to the public to comment. An amendment to the Official Community Plan requires the local government to consult with any affected parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section 882 of the Act. The amendment required for this application, Appendix B, has been considered and 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. M The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial Plan/Capital Plan and the Waste Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that First and Second Reading be given to Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6862 - 2011, that Second Reading be given to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6828 - 2011, and that application 2011-045-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Wilson Chang, MAIBC Owner: Balhar S Basi Legal Description: Lot: 2, Section: 20, Township: 12, Plan: 7450 Lot: 1, Section: 20, Township: 12, Plan: 86322 Lot: 2, Section: 20, Township: 12, Plan: 86322 Lot: B, Section: 20, Township: 12, Plan: 22808 ;�Z ]a Existing: Low Rise Apartment Proposed: Low Rise Apartment Zoning: Existing: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Proposed: RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) Surrounding Uses North: Use: Apartment Zone: RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) Designation Low -Rise Apartment South: Use: District Fire Hall Zone: P-6 (Civic Institutional) Designation: Institutional East: Use: Single family residential Zone: RS-1(One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Low -Rise Apartment West: Use: Single family residential Zone: RS-1(One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Medium and High -Rise Apartment Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Site Area: Access: Servicing: Companion Applications: b) Project Description: Single family residential Low rise apartment 0.388 HA Proposed rear lane access Full Urban DP/086/08 The current application proposes to rezone the properties from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) to permit the construction of a four storey apartment building containing 81 units with a floor area ratio of 1.46. The apartments are a mix of one and two -bedroom units, ranging in size from 50.31m2 (542ft2) to 88.26m2 (950ft2). The building is a four storey wood frame apartment structure over a one storey concrete basement parking level. An access ramp to the underground resident parking is to be provided via the proposed rear -lane. Seventeen visitor surface parking spaces are proposed to be located at the rear of the building, adjacent to the lane. -2- c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The proposed rezoning to RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) is in accordance with the subject properties designation as "Low -Rise Apartment" in the Town Centre Area Plan. The Low -Rise Apartment designation is intended for development in a three to five storey apartment form where units are accessed from an internal corridor and residential parking is provided underground. The current 4-storey development proposal complies with the above criteria. Both 227th Street and Brown Avenue are identified in the Town Centre Area Plan, Figure 1 - Multi - modal Transportation network, as part of the Connective Pedestrian Network. This network is intended to provide pedestrian -friendly linkages outside of the Civic Core and should be designed to enhance the pedestrian experience with separated sidewalks on both sides of the street, street trees and the potential for wayfinding signage. Additionally, both 227th Street and Brown Avenue are part of the Bicycle Network. The Bicycle Network may have dedicated bicycle lanes, where feasible, or shared arrow markings in street travel lanes to clearly identify bicycle routes to motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians. The Engineering Department will be reviewing these guidelines with the proponent at the time civil drawings are finalized. Zoning Bvlaw: A preliminary review of the plans has revealed that the proposal complies with the requirements of Zoning Bylaw No. 3510-1985. Off -Street Parkin, and Loading Bvlaw: A preliminary review of the plans in relation to the Off -Street Parking and Loading Bylaw requirements has revealed that the proposal generally complies with the bylaw, although the application proposes a variance to reduce the total number of required parking stalls from 138 to 130. The applicant proposes to provide residents with 113 parking stalls and visitors with 17 parking stalls; resulting in a total of 130 parking stalls provided for the development. The Off -Street Parking and Loading Bylaw requires 122 resident parking stalls and 17 visitor parking stalls, resulting in a shortfall of 9 resident parking stalls. In accordance with Section 3.4 of the Off -Street Parking and Loading Bylaw, the applicant has opted to pay to the District of Maple Ridge a total of $72,000 in lieu of 9 parking stalls. An up to date parking study is required to support the proposed reduction. Development Permits: As per Section 8.11 of the Official Community Plan, a Town Centre Development Permit is required for all new multi -family residential development in the town centre. The development proposal is located within the North View Precinct of the Town Centre Area Plan. Accordingly, prior to the issuance of a building permit, the Development Permit must be reviewed and approved. An application for the Development Permit has been received and will be the subject of a future Council report. W3 Advisory Design Panel: The application was presented to the Advisory Design Panel on February 9, 2010, at which time the Panel supported the application moving forward to Council, with the following resolution; • Consider more contemporary material palette consistent with the architecture • Consider the issue of the visitor parking stalls in conflict with the adjacent units • Consider relocation of the amenity room to be on the main floor and have direct access to the open courtyard • Consider securing the open courtyard for the safety of the building • Resolve the design of the main entry to the building and incorporate a significant canopy and coordinate with the landscape design • Consider increasing the depth of the balconies to improve functionality • Define a visitor access route from the surface parking to the building entry point • Consider introduction of additional screens to the other elevations • Consider simplifying the vertical glazing at the main entry • Consider altering the parapet heights to create a more varied roof line • Incorporate a barrier free washroom within the amenity room The applicant will address the above recommendations and a more detailed report will be forwarded to Council at the Development Permit stage. Develo ment Information Meetin : A Development Information Meeting was held by the project architect on Tuesday March 2, 2010 at Harry Hooge Elementary. As per Council Policy 6.20, invitations were mailed out to qualifying property owners, advertisements were placed in the local paper and a notice was attached to the development sign on site. Four (4) people signed in on the attendance sheet and one (1) comment sheet was completed. The Development Information Meeting summary provided by the applicant is attached at Appendix G. Additional concerns expressed are included below along with the applicant's response (in italics); • Noise and safety issues are a concern if the proposed back lane continues through to the lane on the neighbouring property to the north. People may use this lane as a short cut; The lane does not necessarily need to go through to eliminate this concern. Or other steps could be taken to reduce these concerns, such as speed bumps or only permitted access allowed. The proposed entrance to the underground parking is very close to the neighbouring property. This may result in noise and pollution becoming a nuisance; -4- There will be planting and fencing between the two properties to screen noise and pollution. In addition there will be a trellis over the ramp entrance to provide the best possible screening. • The proposed building will block views for the neighbouring property to the north; The proposed building will also block the noise from the fire hall. ■ Building construction will be noisy for the neighbouring residents. Construction will follow all City guidelines for safety and hours of operation. d) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering De rtment: 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. The Engineering Department has provided the following comments; 1. The applicant is responsible for the construction of the rear lane. 2. The four existing driveways letdowns on 227 Street must be removed and replaced with new concrete curb and gutter and sidewalk. 3. The developer's consultant must examine the existing sanitary sewer to determine its adequacy to serve the new development. 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 additional trees added to the street tree inventory.

Fire De artment: The Fire Department has no concerns with the current application. -5- CONCLUSION: The current application is in compliance with the Official Community Plan.

The meeting was attended by a group of approximately 6 people of which 4 signed in the attached attendance list Wilson Chang from Wilson Chang Architect opened the meeting welcoming the attendees. Wilson encouraged the people to sign in the provided attendance list and fill out the provided comments sheets. Mr. Chang continued with a presentation of the proposed development including project analysis, neighbourhood context, and site planning and building design. After the presentation the attendees were encouraged to express their comments and concerns on the proposed development. The reception of the development in general was very positive. Please see below a summary of the only concerns from the attendants. Summary of the comments and concerns: 1. If the proposed new back lane continues through to the lane on the neighbouring property north of the development, people could use this lane as a shortcut. Noise and safety issues are a concern. Wilsons Respond: The Cone does not necessary need to go through to eliminate that concern. Or other steps could be taken to reduce these concems, like speed bumps and only permitted access. 2. Planned entrance to the underground parking is very close to the next door property (north). Noise and Pollution could come to adjacent units. Wilsons Respond: There will be planting and fencing between the two properties to screen noise and pollution. In addition there will be Trellis over the romp entrance to provide the best possible screening. 3. Building will block the view to the south for the neighbouring property on the north. Wilsons Respond: It will also block the sound of the fire hall. 4. Building construction will be noisy to the neighbouring properties. Wilson Respond: Construction will follow all city guidelines for safety and hours of operation. Sincerely, Wilson Chang Page 01 I tkvcloprnent Information Meeting summary N ilum Chang Architect Inc.

RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal DP/002/08 respecting property located at 11580 223 Street. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Vincent Donegan Owner: Axxia Management & Consulting Inc Vetta Enterprise Legal Description: D.L.: 398, Plan: RP65880 OCP: Existing: Commercial Zoning: Existing: M-2 (General Industrial), RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Proposed: CRM (Commercial/Residential) Surrounding Uses North: Use: Ministry of Transportation property & Single and Two Family Dwelling Zone: RS-1(One Family Urban Residential), RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) Designation Regional Town Centre Commercial South: Use: Single Family Dwellings and Commercial Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential), H-1 (Heritage Commercial), C-4 (Neighbourhood Public House Commercial) Designation: Regional Town Centre Commercial East: Use: Ministry of Transportation property Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential), M-1(Service Industrial) Designation: Regional Town Centre Commercial 1103 West: Use: Zone: Designation Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Site Area: Access: Servicing: Companion Applications: b) Project Description: Single Family Dwellings and Townhomes RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential), RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) Regional Town Centre Commercial Vacant Apartment 0.200 HA (0.47 acres) 223 Street Full Urban RZ/002/08 The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from M-2 (General Industrial) and RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to CRM (Commercial/Residential). The rezoning is to support a 51 unit 4 storey apartment building with underground parking. c) Planning Analysis: The property is subject to a Regional Town Centre Port Haney Development Permit. The purpose of the Regional Town Centre Development Permit to establish guidelines is to direct development in the Downtown to enhance business opportunities that contribute to community identity while meeting the needs of those who work, shop and live in the area. The proposed apartment building adds to the housing variety in the area and can support local commercial businesses in the area. As this property is located within the Port Haney Area, the applicant has utilized colours and materials that are suitable for this heritage area. The Key Guideline Concepts are as follows: 1. Promote Port Haney and the Waterfront as an important heritage, tourism -oriented area. This multi -family residential building will provide vibrancy to the area and will be highly visible from the Haney Bypass. The project is located within walking distance of the Civic Core, the waterfront and the West Coast Express station. 2. Provide a pedestrian -oriented, mixed use commercial and residential environment. The proposal is for a ground oriented multi family building designed to promote a pedestrian scale along the street 3. Enhance the heritage quality, character and vibrancy of Port Haney and the Waterfront. An urban building is proposed with an attractive presence to the street. The proposed design has taken account of the heritage character in the area and will add to the quality and vibrancy of Port Haney. 4. Capitalize on important views. The building has been oriented to provide views of the Fraser River to a number of units. -2- 5. Provide outdoor space. Landscaping elements have been included in the design to provide outdoor space for the residents. 6. Provide climate appropriate landscaping and green features. Significant landscaping within the site terracing will surround the site and provide onsite rain water infiltration. 7. Maintain street interconnectivity. Parking for this development will be located underground and will be accessed from the rear lane. Street interconnectivity is maintained and pedestrian access is provided directly to 223rd Street. d) Advisory Design Panel: The Advisory Design Panel reviewed the current application on August 12, 2008. Below are the ADP resolution items and a brief explanation as to how the applicant has addressed each item. • Stair location and configuration to be better integrated into the landscape. The stairs have been altered and blended into the landscaping. • Vehicular drop-off should be higher quality surface and integrated into the building entry. The drop-off area will be surfaced with pavers. • Review of exterior materials to be simplified. The materials and colours proposed are suitable for this heritage area. • Proportion of the brackets to the fapade. The brackets have been enlarged to make them more proportionate to the building. • Treatment of railings on the building and the landscape. The railings vary in height, which adds variety. e) Financial Implications: In accordance with Council's Landscape Security Policy, a refundable security equivalent to 100% of the estimated landscape cost will be provided to ensure satisfactory provision of landscaping in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Development Permit. Based on an estimated landscape cost of $26,000.00, the security will be $26,000.00. There will be street 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. f) Alternatives: Under Section 919.1(d) of the Local Government Act and Section 8.11 of the Official Community Plan the property has been designated a Development Permit Area with special requirements for commercial development. Council approval is required for all Town Centre Development Permit -3- developments. Council can reject the Development Permit on the grounds that they feel the Development Permit Guidelines have not been met. CONCLUSION: As the development proposal complies with the b Town Centre Development Permit Area guidelines of the Official Community Plan for form and character, it is recommended that DP/002/08 be given favourable consideration. - ��A=fflv q I I � � Prepared by: Sarah Atkinson Planning Technician e P1.ckerM9,' 4CP, MCIP Dire o�nning �� (< Approved bye Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: 134blic Works & Developn)ent Services Concurrence: J.

The applicant has requested to reduce the interior yard setbacks from 1.5 m to 1.2 m to the side faces of the building to allow the proposed single family dwelling to fit on the existing narrow lot. An additional reduction in the interior side setback is requested to accommodate the fireplace projection on the second level on the east elevation of the building. The side setback from the fireplace projection to the interior side lot line would be 0.9 m. The existing narrow lot is a legal, non -conforming lot that is zoned RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential); however, the lot is too narrow to accommodate a duplex. A single family dwelling is also a permitted use in the RT-1 zone. A reduction in side yard setbacks is required to accommodate a slightly wider home than what could be achieved without the variances. Such a home would be more in character with the existing surrounding homes. RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2011-103-DVP respecting the property located at 20683 Westfield Avenue. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context Applicant: Mark Wulf Owner: Mark Wulf Legal Description: Parcel "A" (M72812E) Lot 610, Distric Lot 278, Group 1, New Westminster District Plan 114 OCP: Existing: Urban Residential Proposed: Urban Residential Zoning: Existing: RT-1(Two Family Urban Residential) Proposed: RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) Surrounding Uses North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: R-1 (Residential District) Designation: Urban Residential 1104 South: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1(One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Urban Residential East: Use: Duplex Zone: RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) Designation: Urban Residential West: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1(One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Urban Residential Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Site Area: Access: Servicing: Previous Applications: Requested Variance: b) Project Description: Vacant Single Family Residential 340 m2 (3660 ft2) Westfield Avenue Full urban servicing to be provided SD/041/97, SD/008/89 Section 601 B. (3) (c) (ii) To vary the interior side setback from 1.5 m to 1.2 m, and to 0.9 m to accommodate the fireplace projection on the upper floor of the east elevation. This existing legal non -conforming lot is approximately 340 m2 (3660 ft2) and is approximately 9.1 m (30 ft) wide and approximately 37.2 m (122 ft) long. The property is zoned RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential); however, the lot is too small to accommodate a duplex. A single family dwelling is proposed with reduced interior side yard setbacks to accommodate a slightly wider house. d) Requested Variances to Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw: Section 601B (3)(c)(ii) states that buildings and structures for One Family Residential use shall be sited not less than a minimum of 1.5 m from an interior side lot line, but with the sum of the two interior side yards to be not less than 3.5 m. The requested variance is to reduce the interior side setback from 1.5 m to 1.2 m. An additional reduction in the setback is requested for the fireplace projection on the upper floor of the east elevation. This setback would be reduced to 0.9 m for a length of approximately 1.5 m (5 ft). c) Planning Analysis: The existing homes on either side of the property appear to be set back sufficiently so that even with the reduction in the side yard setback, the sum of the two interior side yards for either side would not be less than the required 3.5 m. e) Interdepartmental Implications: The Fire Department has indicated that if an underground oil tank is found onsite, a permit from the Fire Department will be required to have it removed. The Building Department has indicated that revisions will be required to the attached building plans to reduce the number of windows on the east elevation and to remove the suite from the lower floor -2- plan. They have also advised that a geotechnical and hydrological report and a Floodplain covenant will be required at the Building Permit Stage. f) Alternatives: If this variance is not approved, the applicant would need to alter the building plans for this home to ensure it would fit within the required setbacks of the RT-1 zone. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed side yard setback variances have been reviewed with respect to zoning, building and engineering requirements and no concerns were noted.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: A request has been generated from one of the affected property owners in a neighbourhood where a landscape buffer restrictive covenant has been placed on title. The subject properties are north of the Upper Jackson Farm property which recently completed a rezoning application to urban residential uses. The original intent of the covenant was to provide a buffer interface between an urban subdivision and what was expected to be large rural lots to the South. However, the southern site was recently rezoned to urban residential densities under Rezoning Application RZ/040/09. Given these changed circumstances, it appears that the buffer is no longer relevant. As a condition of this rezoning application, a separation will be maintained with the provision of a landscape buffer on the south side. This request for release has been circulated to the affected property owners for their comment. To date, no concerns have been expressed. RECOMMENDATION: That Landscape Buffer Restrictive Covenant BX528664 be released. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Legal Description: OCP: Existing: Zoning: Existing: Surrounding Uses North: Use: Zone: Designation South: Use: Zone: Designation East: Use: Zone: District of Maple Ridge Lots 1-7 Section: 3, Township: 12, Plan: BCP17387 Low -Medium Residential SRS Special Urban Residential Urban Residential SRS Special Urban Residential Low -Medium Residential vacant RS-1 One Family Urban Residential and R-1 Special Residential Urban Residential Farm and rural residential A-1 Small Holding Agricultural 1105 Designation West: Use: Zone: Designation Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Access: b) Project Description Urban Reserve Park and Conservation P-1 Park and School Institutional & M-2 General Industrial Park and Conservation Urban Residential No Change 102 A Avenue This request for a covenant release was generated from a property owner who is affected by the covenant and wishes to use the covenanted area for personal use. It appears from a review of this application that the covenant was registered by the developer at the time of subdivision. The covenant is a tree and vegetative cover protection covenant which appears to be intended to protect the property to the south from this higher density development. c) Planning Analysis: Typically, buffers are used to provide an attractive interface between different land uses, especially where one use is vulnerable to intrusion or interference by another. For example, in the Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw, the M-2 General Industrial Zone is required to provide a landscape screen of 2 meters in height and 2 meters in width along any lot line that abuts properties designated commercial, residential, or agricultural. As the entire area will become residential development in the near future, the landscape buffer does not appear to be particularly useful or relevant, As the recently rezoned Jackson Farm property to the south will be of higher density in the future than_ these covenanted properties are, there is no apparent benefit to provide a buffer between these similar uses. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: The notification process for this application has been through a letter sent to the affected property owners. The property owners have been requested to voice their concerns and state possible objections to the proposed covenant release with a deadline of September 1, 2011. To date, no property owners have responded. If Council agrees to the authorization of this release, property owners will be required to apply individually for the removal of the covenant from their properties. This step would be required prior to the issuance of a building permit in the covenanted area. Council authorization allows this removal to occur as an administrative process through the Development Agreement Committee. No further approvals would be required. e) Interdepartmental Implications: As this initial step in having the covenant removed would be through a building permit application. This application will mostly involve the Building Department, f) Alternatives: Council has the option of denying this request from proceeding further if desired. In most instances, a covenant is registered as a condition of rezoning or of subdivision, and a Public Hearing can be required in order to release it. However, in this case, the covenant appears to have been registered voluntarily by the property owner at the time, and there is no apparent legal impediment should Council wish to remove it. The purpose of the neighbor notification process was to allow Council to make their decision after receiving responses from within the community. To date, none have been received. CONCLUSION: This application for a covenant release is justified on the basis that the covenanted landscape buffer no longer appears to serve a useful purpose. Neighbours have been notified, and no responses have been received. One this basis, the recommendation is that Council authorize the release to proceed.

A request has been generated from one within your neighbourhood for the release if a landscape buffer restrictive covenant which has been placed on title of the properties with addresses as follows: 24730-24790 102A Avenue. The original intent of the covenant was to provide a buffer interface between an urban subdivision and what was expected to be large rural lots to the South. As the southern site was recently rezoned to urban residential densities, it appears that the buffer is no longer relevant. The anticipated date for the Council decision about the authorization of this release is the September 13, 2011 Council meeting. To assist Council in making this decision, the affected property owners are requested to express comments and concerns prior to September 1, 2011. This input may be provided by email to dhall@mauleridge.ca or written letter to City Hall. If Council agrees to the authorization of this release, property owners will be required to apply individually for the removal of the covenant from their properties. This step would be required prior to the issuance of a building permit in the covenanted area. Council authorization allows this removal to occur as an administrative process at the staff level. No further approvals would be required. Please contact Diana Hall at 604-467-7402 should you require more information.

The project consists of a storm trunk sewer, storm sewer outfall in a ravine and replacement of a section of 45 year old sanitary sewer pipe. As a result of tendered prices, the project budget required additional funds to repave the road. The strategy chosen to advance the project was based on the expected phasing of construction and that paving would occur in 2011 rather than 2010. On that basis, Council awarded the contract to Double M Excavating Ltd. in the amount of $2,454,227.06 plus taxes, and did not include the optional road reconstruction component because of the 2010 funding envelope. Subsequently, Council approved the addition of $300,000 (in the 2011 Capital Works Program) to the budget to allow the existing road surface and base of River Road to be reconstructed following the storm and sanitary sewer installation. The then expected cost of the road reconstruction was approximately $500,000. The sewer installation on River Road has been completed and the gravel road base and first layer of asphalt has been installed to address the need to provide a non -gravel road traveling surface. In order to complete the rest of the road surface, Council approval is requested to amend the existing contract. The work will be completed within the approved budgets. As a note, a meeting with residents was held on August 16 at which a number of issues (including those to be addressed subsequent to the construction of the sewer) were raised to staff. Staff is reviewing the issues and will be submitting a report at an upcoming Council Workshop meeting. f:�K� ►d►d�►1�k��[�l►A THAT Contract No. ITT-EN10-171; River Road Drainage Improvements (Darby Street to Carshill Street), awarded to Double M Excavating Ltd., be increased by $563,080.95 (plus applicable taxes). 1106 DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: In 2010, Council awarded the River Road Drainage Improvements contract to Double M Excavating Ltd. The original tendered price was for approximately $3 million which included approximately $500,000 for optional pavement rehabilitation and road improvements (a gravel shoulder). Based on the then available budgets, the Council awarded a contract to Double M Excavating Ltd. in the amount of $2,454,227.06 (plus taxes), which did not include the optional road reconstruction component because of the funding limitations in 2010. To address the need for additional funds required to complete the road reconstruction, Council approved $300,000 within the 2011 Capital Works Program to increase the overall River Road Drainage Improvements project budget. The road reconstruction currently planned consists of reconstructing the existing two travel lanes that are 3.3 m wide and a 0.8 m paved shoulder on the north side, constructing asphalt curbs for drainage, and a 0.9 m gravel path on the south side. The sewer installation on River Road has been completed and the initial gravel road base and first asphalt layer has been installed to address the need to provide a non -gravel road surface. As such, staff is seeking Council approval to increase the Double M Excavating Ltd. contract by $563,080.95 to $3,017,308.01 (plus taxes) to complete the paving. This work amount is still within the approved budgets. b) Desired Outcome: The desired outcome is to obtain Council approval to complete the final paving of River Road. c) Strategic Alignment: River Road is an important road in the District's transportation network and ensuring that the road is in good condition is in alignment with the District's Strategic Plan. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: Engineering Department staff has been informing local residents on the progress of the project and will continue to inform them as the project completes. e) Business Plan/Financial Implications: In late 2010, when Council recognized the need to increase the approved project budgets to fully fund the repaving of River Road, they approved the addition of $300,000 in the 2011 Capital Works Program (under LTC 8469 - River Road Reconstruction) to increase the total budget for the project. In sum, the total approved budgets will be sufficient for the River Road Drainage Improvements Project including the completion of the road reconstruction and the installation of the sanitary sewer. CONCLUSIONS: The sewer installations on River Road have been completed and the approved 2011 Capital Program includes the additional funding necessary for the road reconstruction. To provide a smooth and reliable road surface, staff is requesting Council approval to increase the Double M Excavating Ltd. contract for the River Road Drainage Improvements Project.

Because of the construction currently underway, the BIA would like to hold the event on Spirit Square and as such, a road closure is required for this event. A map is attached. There will be three events taking place in the Spirit Square area on September 24, 2011. They are the Haney Farmers Market, GETI Fest and Summer Market 2. GETI Fest and Haney Farmers Market have been previously approved by Council and they are supportive of the BIA's request to host the Summer Market 2. Organizers of each event have met to help and coordinate with each other. The BIA Summer Market and Haney Farmers Market events will end at 2:00 pm with vendors dispersing by 3:00 pm. This will permit 30 minutes for the changeover of barricades and access by event volunteers wearing safety vests. RCMP Auxiliary will be in attendance to provide some assistance. Authorization from Council is requested to allow the event to occur in Maple Ridge. RECOMMENDATION: THAT use of municipal streets be authorized for the Summer Market on Sunday, September 24, 2011, provided the conditions outlined in Schedule 'A' attached to the staff report dated September 12, 2011 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.' Due to construction on the District's property adjacent to 224 Street, south of Memorial Peace Park, the Summer Market event organizer is requesting permission to close the area of 224 Street known as "Spirit Square", for events to coincide with the Haney Farmer's Market, on Saturday September 24, 2011, from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm. The event is scheduled from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm. 1107 There will be manned barricades set up at each end of the bricked Spirit Square roadway. Haney Place road surrounding Memorial Peace Park will remain open. b) Strategic Alignment: Permitting of Maple Ridge street events promotes community development and often highlights Maple Ridge's natural and built features. c) Citizen/Customer Implications: Permission to use municipal streets may cause some delays and inconveniences to other road users. However, traffic control will be provided by the Summer Market organizers. d) Interdepartmental Implications: The road use permit establishes that the event organizer must obtain approval of the RCMP and Fire Department for traffic control and must notify BC Ambulance Services as well as coordinate with Coast Mountain Bus Company. e) Business Plan/Financial 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 run to occur. In this event, the organizer would have to cancel the event. CONCLUSIONS: From time to time, the District is requested to allow the use of municipal streets for various events and activities. The first Summer Market was held in Maple Ridge in August of this year without incident. I Submitted by: Andrew Wood, PhD., PEng.

The District's Operating Permit for the Municipal Waterworks System requires that an annual report be prepared and submitted to the Fraser Health Authority and be available to the public. The report follows the format required by the Fraser Health Authority and is necessarily a largely technical report. To assist the general public, a less technical brochure has been produced and will be available on the website and at the Municipal Hall Customer Service Centre. The report, as attached includes an outline of the regulatory framework and water quality monitoring data for 2010 and explanatory comments on the data. A copy of the report will be placed in the public library and on the corporate website as part of the public information strategy. In 2010, the District purchased 11.2 million cubic meters of water from the Greater Vancouver Water District (GVWD), (a decrease of 7% from 2009). During the year, the Utility's water quality met microbiological standards. RECOMMENDATION: This report is submitted for information. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: The District operates a water utility under the provisions of the Local Government Act (Provincial), and under permit by the Provincial Ministry of Health Services - Fraser Health Authority. Water quality requirements are stipulated by the Drinking Water Protection Regulations and administered by the FHA. The District, as a distributor and purveyor of water, is reliant on the GVWD for source water quality control. Treated water is delivered to the District by the GVWD via the Maple Ridge Main and 248 Street Reservoir. While Coquitlam Lake is the primary source of water delivered to Maple Ridge, the GVWD has the capability to transfer water from the Seymour and Capilano sources and maintain supply to Maple Ridge in the event of disruptions at Coquitlam Lake. 1108 The District's drinking water system operating permit requires an annual water quality monitoring program and that an annual report be prepared and submitted. While the monitoring program provides a representative picture of drinking water quality in the system and within municipal mains, it does not provide a definite picture of drinking water quality within buildings, where water quality can change significantly due to pipe materials, standing times, temperature, and other factors. It can be assumed that samples taken within buildings may be of different quality than those taken from sites on municipal mains. The District's water distribution infrastructure includes 376 km of watermain, over 18,000 connections, 7 pump stations, 6 reservoir sites, and 5 re -chlorination stations. Samples from 18 locations in the distribution system are taken weekly and are analyzed by Metro Vancouver. The results are sent to the Operations and Engineering Departments and to the FHA. The total number of samples having a heterotrophic plate count (HPC) of 500 CFU/ml or greater in 2010 was 1, equal to the 1 in 2009. No samples tested positive for E. coli, and no samples exceeded the BC Drinking Water Protection Regulation Microbiological Standard of 10 Total Coliforms per 100mL. b) Strategic Alignment: Financial Management Council has directed that the Municipality provide high quality municipal services to our citizens and customers in a cost effective and efficient. The annual water quality monitoring program is intended to ensure that the water delivered by the District's utility is of high quality. Smart Managed Growth The Corporate Strategic Plan directs that municipal infrastructure be protected and managed through the preparation of appropriate plans to ensure maintenance of the system. A systematic water quality monitoring plan assists in ensuring that an effective water distribution system is managed and maintained. Intergovernmental Relations/Partnerships Council has directed that the District develop and maintain strong positive working relationships with the GVWD and other governmental agencies. Strong working relationships with the GVWD and FHA is required to ensure the quality of water. The annual program and report facilitates an effective relationship. c) Citizen/Customer Implications: Maple Ridge water utility customers expect that the investment in the network be maintained to provide safe, reliable and high quality water. The annual reporting of water quality is a means to meet the accountability that customers expect from a utility. Ongoing improvements by Metro Vancouver will continue to improve regional water quality. d) Interdepartmental Implications: As part of the Public Works and Development Services Division, the Engineering and Operations Departments collaborate in the water utility's planning, management, operation and maintenance and water quality reporting to meet customer water quality objectives. e) Policy Implications: The reporting of water quality is consistent with the public policy approach of transparency and accountability was well as meeting the requirements of the FHA. CONCLUSIONS: Water quality in Maple Ridge was generally good in 2010 and consistent with previous years. For 2010, the Utility's water quality met microbiological standards.

Proposals from the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows News and the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows Times were received. Both proposals were reviewed and it is recommended that a one year contract with an option to renew for two consecutive one year terms be awarded to the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows News. The proposal stipulates that the District reserves the right to place advertising in the other publication at its discretion if it necessary. RECOMMENDATION(S): That a contract be awarded to the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows News for all regular and local advertising for a period of one year with an option to renew the contract for two consecutive one year periods and the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the contract. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: The District regularly conducts competitive processes to award contracts for set periods of time. Staff reviewed and evaluated the proposals received from the two proponents. The District annual spending on local advertising, excluding larger specialty publications and brochures, is approximately $60,000. This includes statutory advertising related to the legislative process, advertising for programs and general information to engage citizens, and other general advertising related to business operations of the District. The RFP indicated that the District reserves the right to place advertising in other publications in addition to the advertising in the successful proponent. b) Alternatives: There has been some discussion in the past about advertising in both of the major local newspapers. The position of the District has been to advertise statutory and non statutory ads in one paper. The main reason and the prime consideration for the approach is to keep the cost of advertising to a reasonable level. As Council is aware, more and more of the public are accessing information on-line and there is less reliance on the paper media as an information source. It is still however important to continue with newspaper advertising for legal requirements as well as to meet the needs of individuals who do not access the internet. We want to be assured that all 1109 citizens have access via various media to the necessary information on the District's programs, services and notices. c) Citizen/Customer Implications: It is believed that the advertising approach being recommended best meets the needs of the citizens and the District in making the appropriate information available to the public. d) Policy Implications: The contract will be reviewed on an annual basis. CONCLUSIONS: It is recommended that the advertising contract be awarded to the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows News as set out in this report.

Staff subsequently met with Legion representatives to explore concepts and a preliminary partnership for this. A concept for the identification and a partnership has been tentatively reached by staff, subject to Council's endorsement. As such, staff is recommending that Council endorse the installation of street name markers identifying that section of 224 Street, with the costs of the supply and installation of the markers to be funded in whole by the local Royal Canadian Legion Branch. Should Council endorse this, staff will work with their representatives to jointly announce Council's decision and at a later date unveil the signs. The "Veterans Way" signs will be supplemental to the existing 224 Street signs. The legal addresses will remain unchanged. RECOMMENDATION: THAT the identification of 224 Street, from Brown Avenue to Memorial Peace Park, as "Veterans Way" be endorsed; and, THAT a partnership with Branch 88 of the Royal Canadian Legion be established as described in the staff report titled "Veterans Way" dated September 12, 2011. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: In February of this year, Branch 88 of the Royal Canadian Legion approached Council to explore the potential for identifying in some fashion, the section of 224 Street from Brown Avenue to Memorial Peace Park as "Veterans Way". The concept is based on the history that Memorial Peace Park derives its name from the location of the Cenotaph and the other memorials. Those markers recognize the service of our Armed Forces in the building of the nation of Canada and the contribution of Maple Ridge residents over the many years to the call of duty. To mark the location and celebrate its history, annually on Remembrance Day, a parade is held from the Legion to the park held by veterans. 1201 Subsequent to Council's preliminary assessment of the request, Engineering Department staff met with Legion representatives to explore design concepts and a preliminary partnership for this. Concepts for the street marker blades have now been developed and the Legion has agreed to fund the capital and installation costs of the blades. The District will maintain the signs (i.e., normal cleaning) until such time when they are deemed to have reached the end of their useful life. Replacement of the signs will be the responsibility of the Legion. The marker blades will be installed on 6 street name poles and there will be a total of 12 blades. The estimated total cost of is $3,000, which will be funded by the Legion. The maintenance of the blades is able to be internalized within the current operating budget growth allotment for street sign maintenance. As such, staff is recommending that that Council endorse the identification of the section of 224 Street from Brown Avenue to Memorial Peace Park as "Veterans Way". Should Council endorse this, staff will work with the Legion to message and celebrate the announcement and at a later date, unveil the signs. b) Desired Outcome: The desired outcome of this report is to obtain Council's endorsement to identify the section of 224 Street from Brown Avenue to Memorial Peace Park as "Veterans Way". c) Strategic Alignment: The District's Corporate Strategic Plan identifies that the District will preserve and enhance heritage resources to provide citizens with the historic context of the community. Moving in that direction, the District has embarked on identifying community assets and highlighting the rich history and contribution of the community. Within the Downtown Enhancement Project, mosaics have been installed to celebrate some components of this history and later in 2011, heritage markers and new street name signs will also be installed. This partnership with the Legion is consistent with Council's direction. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: The local Royal Canadian Legion Branch has approached the District and this project is in response to the request made by this community group. e) Interdepartmental Implications: The Operations Department has reviewed the locations and will be maintaining the signs. f) Policy Implications: With this partnership, it may be expected that community groups may wish to explore the application of similar partnerships to identify and commemorate community assets and history. It is recommended that this partnership be used as a unique pilot project that is consistent with the existing community designation (i.e., Memorial Peace Park) and that any future requests be reviewed by Council and staff on a case -by -case basis. CONCLUSIONS: Earlier this year, Branch 88 of the Royal Canadian Legion approached Council to explore the potential for identifying in some fashion, the section of 224 Street from Brown Avenue to Memorial Peace Park as "Veterans Way". Staff has arrived at a preliminary partnership for this, using the installation of street markers in addition to 224 Street name blades, and is recommending that Council endorse the work based on the Royal Canadian Legion bearing the costs of the supply and installation of the markers. This proposed work will continue to build and enhance the celebration of Maple Ridge's history and contribution to our nation. r Prepared .by: rew Wood, PhD., PEng.

FOR `VETERANS WAY' Dear Mayor Daykin & Council: In October, 2004, Branch 88 of the Royal Canadian Legion was awarded the `Freedom of the District' by the Municipality, solidifying a very long and historic relationship. In October, 2010, a mosaic was unveiled on 224a' Street that honours our Veterans and two famous local military units, the Westminster Regiment and the Pacific Mountain Rangers. Launching Remembrance Week this past November, the Ridge Meadows Education Foundation presented Branch 88 with a magnificent piece of public art... a cedar Maple Leaf which is a tribute to our Veterans; past, present and future. What makes this work of art even more valuable is the fact that it was designed and carved by our Veterans with full participation by local seniors, cadets and youth groups. If I recall correctly, you and many members of Council took part as well. This Maple Leaf is now proudly and permanently displayed at the entrance to our main building located at the comer of Brown Avenue and 2240, Street ... the start of what we hope will become `Veterans Way'. The Municipality has been a major supporter and partner in assisting us with grounds maintenance to beautify the public boulevards around our Branch and currently, in relocating the crosswalks to allow for maximum safety for our members and local residents. We have an active working relationship with Parks and Leisure on any events and changes occurring within Memorial Peace Park. As Council knows, the annual Remembrance Day celebration involves a march from the Royal Canadian Legion, down 2246' Street to Memorial Peace Park. Our community is blessed with the ever-increasing public participation — now numbering 4,000 to 5,000 residents - honouring our Veterans along the parade route. With the incredible work that has been done downtown, more and more of these people are easily accommodated and made to feel welcome, arriving by vehicle or walking. We would like to add to the incredible momentum that you have created with the Downtown Enhancement Project. Branch 88 Royal Canadian Legion would ask that Council consider a designation of the section of 224a' Street from Brown Avenue to Selkirk Avenue as `Veterans Way'. To clarify the request, we acknowledge that it might be confusing to have such a small section of a street `renamed', but we hope that it would be possible to add supplementary signage as required to the street signs in this area. These would carry the designation and suitable artwork that indicates that this is 'Veterans Way' We are anxious to work with District staff to discuss the best way to implement this idea of recognizing our Veterans and all citizens who historically have volunteered to serve when called. We are also prepared to discuss how we can mobilize our 2,400 Legion members to fundraise to help cover the costs of this supplementary designation and to turn this idea into a reality. As I noted earlier, the Royal Canadian Legion is very enthusiastic about the commitment that you have made to the Downtown and we feel that this designation, and our commitment to making it happen in partnership with Council, is an affirmation of our shared goal of making this area a place where neighbours meet and interact all year long. Thank you for your consideration of the idea of 'Veterans Way'. We look forward to your reply and input. Respectfully Jim MacDonald President Branch 88 Royal Canadian Legion Deep Roots Greater Heights February 18, 2011 Jim MacDonald President, Branch 88 Royal Canadian Legion 12101224 Street Maple Ridge, BC V2X 6137 Dear Mr. MacDonald: Re: Proposal for "Veterans Way" Our File No: E02-224-001 Thank you for your letter to Mayor and Council proposing that the section of 224 Street, from Brown Avenue to Selkirk Avenue, be identified or recognized as "Veterans Way." In your letter, that was forwarded to staff for response, you suggested that the road would not be renamed, but that supplementary signage and artwork be installed and that the Legion is prepared to cover the costs of the work. Recognizing that this is a concept proposal and that further details would be needed for a decision, I have asked that our staff connect with you to explore the concept and the preliminary partnership business case, and discuss the decision making process for this. As you noted, the District and Legion have worked together over the years to build and support our community as well honour those who have served when called. We are also excited about Council's investments in Downtown Maple Ridge and look forward to discussing with you how our partnership may enhance those investments and continue to build our community.

We are aware that Memorial Peace Park derives its name from the location of the Cenotaph and other Memorials that recognize the service of our Armed Forces in the building of our nation and the defense of liberty around the world. We recognize that the 'Veteran's Way' designation will be one more way to demonstrate our community's gratitude and respect for the brave men and women who have, and currently, serve our nation in uniform. If you are able to secure the funding for the capital and installation costs for the signs, we will move this item forward to Council. With Council's endorsement we will work with you on the messaging and ceremony around the announcement. Thank you for the time you have invested in the 'Veteran's Way' proposal.
