All subdivision applications shall be accompanied by proof of ownership in a form acceptable to the Approving Officer. 2. At the time of application or after a field inspection, the Approving Officer may require, at the owners expense: (a) Topographic mapping of the parcels to be included in the proposed subdivision, with contours at one (l) metre intervals. Such topographic mapping shall accurately delineate all watercourses. (b) A tree survey plan showing the location of all trees by size and species with a 20cm. or larger diameter trunk measured 1.3m. from the ground. In the case of multi-stemmed trees, the diameter of each individual stem shall be measured, and aggregated. Where a stand of trees is so dense as to render individual tree enumeration difficult, the tree survey may show clusters of trees. Trees that are scheduled to be retained shall be marked with a numbered metal tag, placed 1.3m. above the ground, and this tag number shall be clearly shown on the survey plans; (c) The flagging of all corner pins within the proposed subdivision to assist Municipal staff in performing field inspections; (d) Mapping of the boundaries of development permit boundaries affecting the subject property and any applicable surrounding properties; (e) An environmental impact statement prepared by qualified consultants addressing the boundaries of development as they relate to development permit boundaries and clearly indicating any proposed adjustments to those boundaries with statements regarding the reasons and justification for such adjustments; (f) Evidence from a qualified Geotechnical Engineer that geotechnical conditions will support development consistent with the proposed subdivision; (g) A plan showing provision for access to parcels lying beyond and/or adjacent to the parcel(s) to be included in the proposed subdivision; and/or (h) A preliminary plan demonstrating the future subdivision geometry of adjacent lands. B. APPLICATION FOR PRELIMINARY APPROVAL 1. Applications for preliminary approval are not mandatory. Applicants may find it convenient and less costly to make a preliminary application. A preliminary application and a preliminary letter of approval are not a statutory application or subdivision plan approval pursuant to the Land Title Act. 2 . For each parcel, the boundaries of which will be affected by the proposed subdivision, the following information shall be submitted: (a) A preliminary approval fee in the amount prescribed by Maple Ridge Applications Fee By-law No. 4876 - 1993. (b) A reproducible subdivision plan which is fully dimensioned and drawn at an appropriate scale (1:200 or 1:500) and which would create parcels in conformity with all applicable - 4 - requirements of this by-law and Maple Ridge Zoning By-law No 3510 - 1985 as amended, and showing: (i) The exterior boundaries of the proposed subdivision boldly outlined; (ii) Complete legal description for each parcel to be included in the proposed subdivision; (iii) All parcels surrounding the parcel(s) to be included in the proposed subdivision, with sizes and legal descriptions clearly indicated; (iv) North point; (v) All bodies of water and/or watercourses; 7093-2014 (vi) Accurate location of all existing buildings, structures and services within the proposed subdivision. (vii) Present and proposed zoning designation; (viii) All parcels to be created by the proposed subdivision with accurate dimensions and lot areas; (ix) All boundaries of existing parcels which will be canceled by the proposed subdivision as dotted lines; (x) All existing and proposed highways as defined herein with widths and arcs clearly dimensioned; (xi) All building and/or structure removal or relocation clearly indicated; (xii) All existing tree relocation, retention or removal to be clearly indicated; (xiii) The date upon which the subdivision plan was prepared and any revision dates; 6479-2007 deleted (xiv) 3. Upon receipt and review by the Approving Officer of all requirements pursuant to Sections II A 2 and II B 2 hereof, the Approving Officer may communicate in writing with the applicant and may provide his comments with respect to the application. Such comments may include conditions and requirements which must be met before final subdivision approval can be given. Alternatively, the Approving Officer may advise the applicant, in writing, that: (a) Further information must be submitted to permit a full review of the application; or (b) The application is rejected. 4. A letter of preliminary approval delivered by the Approving Officer pursuant to a preliminary application is only effective for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days. The Approving Officer upon written application received prior to the expiry of a preliminary approval may extend the preliminary approval once for a period not exceeding 180 days. If the provisions and requirements relating to the tendering of a plan for approval pursuant to the Land Title Act are not satisfied prior to the expiry of any preliminary approval, the preliminary approval and the application giving rise to it shall be void and any person wishing to subdivide the same lands shall be required to submit a new application for subdivision and pay the fees required therefore. 5. A letter of preliminary approval for any proposed subdivision shall not be construed as final approval of the subdivision and is revocable by the Approving Officer at any time prior to the final approval of the subdivision in the event that new information which would adversely affect the proposed subdivision becomes available or any enactment which would render the proposed subdivision unlawful comes into effect, subsequent to the delivery of the letter of preliminary approval and prior to the final approval of the subdivision. - 5 - C. APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL UNDER THE LAND TITLE ACT 1.

A subdivision plan shall be approved or rejected by the Approving Officer within two months of the date it was submitted for examination and approval. III BASIC PROVISIONS 1. No land shall be subdivided within the City of Maple Ridge unless and until the subdivision has first received the approval of the Approving Officer. 2. The Approving Officer shall refuse to approve the subdivision of any parcel of land unless all relevant requirements of this by-law, applicable provincial agency statutes, regulations and orders have been met. 3. The Approving Officer shall not approve any plan or scheme of subdivision which: (a) is not suited to the configuration of the land being subdivided; (b) is not suited to the use for which it is intended; (c) does not provide the necessary services, utilities, works or other relevant provisions set forth in this by-law; (d) makes impracticable the subdivision of adjacent parcels. 4. Where further development or subdivision of the land for which an application for subdivision has been submitted can be anticipated, the Approving Officer may require a plan of such further subdivision or development. 5. In considering a subdivision application, the Approving Officer may hear objections from any interested persons and shall refuse to approve the subdivision if, in his opinion, (a) the anticipated development of the subdivision would injuriously affect the established amenities, including existing trees, and adjoining or adjacent properties, (b) the cost to the Municipality of providing public utilities or other municipal works or services would be excessive, or (c) the subdivision would otherwise be against the public interest. - 6 - 6. Where land is intended to be divided into two or more strata lots by the registration of a Bare Land Strata Plan, the provisions of this by-law shall apply to the development as defined in the Strata Properties Act and not to the individual strata lots. 7. Notwithstanding anything contained in this by-law, where the sole purpose of a subdivision plan is to facilitate the registration of a lease having a term of 3 years or longer over a portion of a parcel where the lease would not entitle the lessee under any circumstances to demand or exercise the right to acquire the fee simple title to the portion so leased, any provision in this by- law regarding servicing standards shall not apply to the subdivision.
