Diversification of the tax base and generation of non-tax revenue are ongoing objectives, outlined in Financial Sustainability Policy 5.52 section 6. The Financial Plan includes property tax increases totaling 3.15% annually for: •General Purposes •Infrastructure Sustainability •Parks and Recreation Master Plan implementation •Drainage Improvements Additional property tax revenue due to new construction is also included in the Financial Plan at 1.78% in 2016 and 2% annually for 2017 through 2020. Additional information on the tax increases and the cost drivers can be found in the 2016-2020 Financial Plan Overview Report. Specific policies discussing the tax increases are included in the Financial Sustainability Plan and related policies which were adopted in 2004. Property tax revenue includes property taxes as well as grants in lieu of property taxes. Parcel Charges Parcel charges are largely comprised of a recycling charge, a sewer charge and, on certain properties, a local area service or improvement charge. Parcel charges are a useful tool to charge all or a subset of properties for a fixed or variable amount to support services. Unlike property taxation the variable amount does not need to be related to property assessment value, but can be something that more accurately reflects the cost of the service. Attachment to Maple Ridge 2016-2020 Financial Plan Amending Bylaw 7241-2016 Statement 2 (cont.) Revenue and Property Tax Policy Disclosure Fees & Charges The Business Planning Guidelines call for an increase of 5% in fees as a guideline. Actual fee increases vary depending on the individual circumstances, the type of fee and how it is calculated. Fees should be reviewed annually and updated if needed. Recent fee amendments include recreation fees, development application fees, business license fees and cemetery fees. A major amendment to the Development Costs Charges (DCC), recommended no more frequently than every five years, was completed in 2008. Minor DCC amendments are done more frequently. Some fees are used to offset the costs of providing specific services. The utility fees are reviewed annually with a view towards using rate stabilization practices to smooth out large fluctuations in rates, as set out in the Business Planning Guidelines. Borrowing Proceeds Debt is used where it makes sense. Caution is used when considering debt as it commits future cash flows to debt payments restricting the ability to use these funds to provide other services. The source of the debt payments needs to be considered as does the justification for advancing the project. More information on borrowing previously approved can be found in the 2016-2020 Financial Plan Overview report. Other Sources Other sources will vary greatly year to year as it includes: •Development fees which fund capital projects from the DCC Reserve •Contribution from others in relation to capital •Grants which are sought from various agencies and may be leveraged with City funds PROPERTY TAX DISCLOSURE Property Tax Revenue Distribution Property Class Taxation Revenue Assessed Value Tax Rate Multiple ('000s) ('000s) ($/1000) (Rate/Res.Rate) 1 Residential 56,532 78.3% 12,918 91.2% 4.3761 1.00 2 Utility 541 0.8% 14 0.1% 40.0000 9.14 4 Major Industry 591 0.8% 17 0.1% 34.1952 7.81 5 Light Industry 2,760 3.8% 232 1.7% 11.8801 2.71 6 Business/Other 11,565 16.0% 974 6.9% 11.8801 2.71 8 Rec./ Non-Profit 39 0.1% 3 0.0% 15.2783 3.49 9 Farm 164 0.2% 5 0.0% 33.7082 7.70 Total 72,192 100% 14,162 100% Attachment to Maple Ridge 2016-2020 Financial Plan Amending Bylaw 7241-2016 Statement 2 (cont.) Revenue and Property Tax Policy Disclosure PROPERTY TAX DISCLOSURE Objectives & Policies Property taxes are the City’s largest source of revenue and are contained by efficient business practices. Annual business planning practices are the mechanism for resource allocation decisions. The City’s Financial Sustainability Policy section 6 discusses the necessity of diversifying the tax base. Development of employment related properties is one method of diversification; therefore a key performance measurement in Strategic Economic Initiatives tracks the increased investment and development of non-residential properties. A policy in the Financial Sustainability Plan that calls for stable tax increases and the adoption of the annual increase early in the prior year in the Business Planning Guidelines provides citizens with a more stable and predictable set of cost increases. In some cases costs are phased in over multiple years to stay within the set tax increases. Property Tax Rates It is policy to adjust property tax rates annually to negate the impact of fluctuations in the market values of properties. Tax rates are reduced to negate the market increases. Property tax increases are then applied at the same relative increase for all classes, unless legislation restricts the rates, as with Class 2, Utility. The Business Class and Light Industry Class properties have the same tax rate and are treated as a composite class when setting the tax rates, as the types of businesses in each class are similar. For 2016 the increase was reduced from 3.15% to 1.85% to reduce the relative property tax burden for these properties. A review was done on the Major Industry Class rates and the recommendation from the Audit and Finance Committee and Council was a 5% property tax reduction in both 2009 and 2010 to support additional investments in the subject property and to keep rates competitive. In 2014 and 2015, property taxes charged to major industrial class properties were reduced by $70,000 in each year. In reviewing the tax rates to ensure competitiveness, absolute rates, tax multiples and overall tax burden are considered. The impact that assessed values have when comparing other geographical areas must be considered in a comparison of tax rates. Permissive Tax Exemptions Council has set policies around the use of permissive tax exemptions. These are Council Policies 5.19 through 5.24. These policies discuss Churches, Community Halls, Heritage Sites, Homes for the Care of Children and the Relief of the Aged, the Poor, the Disabled and the Infirm, Municipal Recreational Services, Private Hospitals and Daycares, Private School and Youth Recreation Groups. Revitalization Tax Exemption A revitalization tax exemption is available within a defined downtown area and provides a financial incentive to encourage development in the town centre. Further financial incentives are available for buildings that qualify; additional information on the town centre incentives can be found on our website. For more information on the tax exemption, please refer to both Bylaw 6789-2011 and 7010-2013. Attachment to Maple Ridge 2016-2020 Financial Plan Amending Bylaw 7241-2016 Statement 3 Capital Expenditure Disclosure The sole purpose of this statement is to meet legislative requirements, highlighting the value of the DCC program; no other conclusions should be drawn from the figures as the information could be misleading. This disclosure is required under the Local Government Act s. 560; Capital costs attributable to projects to be partially funded by Development Cost Charges (DCC) must be included in the financial plan. The DCC program includes projects as far out as 2035 so the capital expenditures must be extended to match. Certain types of projects are not planned past the five year time horizon of the financial plan. Much less scrutiny is given to projects that are planned in years 2021 through 2035. Projects in these years typically exceed likely funding available.

Shymkiw, Chair Presiding Member of the Committee City of Maple Ridge TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: May 2, 2016 and Members of Council FILE NO: 2016-040-RZ FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W SUBJECT: First reading Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7237-2016 12080 228 Street EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: An application has been received to rezone the subject property, located at 12080 228 Street, from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) to permit future subdivision into 3 single family residential lots. To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. Due to its location within the Town Centre, this application is exempt from the Community Amenity Contribution Program. RECOMMENDATIONS: That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7237-2016 be given first reading; and That the applicant provides further information as described on Schedule B of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999, along with the information required for an Intensive Residential Development Permit and a Subdivision application. DISCUSSION: a)Background Context: Applicant: Baljinder Sidhu Owner: Baljinder Sidhu Legal Description: Lot: 302, Section 20, Township 12, New Westminster District Plan 44858 OCP: Existing: Single Family Residential Zoning: Existing: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Proposed: R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Single Family Residential South: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Ground Oriented Multi-Family 1101 - 2 - East: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Single Family Residential West: Use: Multi-family Residential Zone: RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) Designation: Low Rise Apartment Existing Use of Property: Residential Proposed Use of Property: Residential Site Area: 0.104 HA. (0.25 acres) Access: 228 Street Servicing requirement: Urban Standard b)Site Characteristics: The subject property is approximately 0.104 ha. (0.25 acres) in size, is generally flat, and is bound by single family residential properties to the north, east and south, with 228 Street and a condominium complex to the west (see Appendix A and B). c)Project Description: The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) to permit future subdivision into three lots and a lane in the back. The proposed lots will be a minimum of 286 m2 and the lane is proposed to be 6.9m wide on this property, leaving 0.6m to be integrated into the lane during development of the adjacent property 12081 Greenwell Street. A temporary Statutory Right-of-Way will be required to get registered over the proposed middle lot, to establish temporary access to the rear lane, until such time an adjacent property is developing and providing access. This proposal is consistent with the other development applications in the block, and aligns with the concept plan envisioned for this block. At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official Community Plan (OCP) and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will need to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a further report will be required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries and yields, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. d) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The subject property is designated Single Family Residential in the Town Centre Area Plan, Section 10.4 of the OCP. This designation provides options for increasing density and choice of housing form, while retaining the single-family character in established neighbourhood blocks. The R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zone is compatible with this designation. Furthermore, the current proposal is consistent with the following policies of the Town Centre Area Plan: Policy 3-17 To enable some densification in areas designated for Single-Family Residential, Maple Ridge will consider: a.A Detached Garden Suite, subject to consistency with the Maple Ridge Detached Garden Suites policy; - 3 - b. A Secondary Suite within a principle single-family use dwelling, subject to consistency with the existing Maple Ridge Secondary Suite Bylaws. c. Lot size of 213 m2 to 370m2 is permitted, where vehicle access is from a rear lane only… Policy 5-9 Maple Ridge will encourage the retention of laneways and the creation of new laneways should be considered, where appropriate and feasible. The proposal as submitted complies with the intent of the OCP. Community Amenity Contribution Program: On March 14, 2016, Council approved the Community Amenity Contribution Program Policy. As stated in Section 3 of the policy, properties within the Town Centre Area Plan boundaries are exempt from the CAC Program (except where Council applies the provisions of Section 8 of the policy, where applications seeking an extension under Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999, may be subject to the city-wide community amenity contribution program at the discretion of Council). Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 12080 228 Street from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) to permit future subdivision into three lots and a lane in the back. The minimum lot size for the current RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) zone is 668m2, and the minimum lot size for the proposed R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zone is 213 m2. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.8 of the OCP, an Intensive Residential Development Permit application is required to ensure the current proposal provides emphasis on high standards in aesthetics and quality of the built environment, while protecting important qualities of the natural environment. e) Interdepartmental Implications: In order to advance the current application, after first reading, comments and input, will be sought from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below: a) Engineering Department; b) Fire Department; c) Building Department; d) School District; e) Utility companies; and f) Canada Post. The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above. This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time; therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. This evaluation will take place between first and second reading. - 4 - f)Development Applications: In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended: 1.A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B); 2.An Intensive Residential Development Permit Application; and 3.A Subdivision Application. The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. CONCLUSION: The development proposal is in compliance with the OCP, therefore, it is recommended that Council grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading. The proposed layout has not been reviewed in relation to the relevant bylaws and regulations governing subdivision applications. Any subdivision layout provided is strictly preliminary and must be approved by the City of Maple Ridge’s Approving Officer. “Original signed by Therese Melser”_______________ Prepared by: Therese Melser Planning Technician “Original signed by Christine Carter”________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “Original signed by Christine Carter”______________for_ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.

Council granted first reading and considered the early consultation requirements for the Official Community Plan (OCP) Amending Bylaw No. 7176-2015, on October 27, 2015. A text amendment to Appendix D - Temporary Use Permits of the Official Community Plan (OCP) is proposed to allow a temporary parking lot on the subject property. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1)That, in accordance with Section 475 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. 7176-2015, as amended in the Council report dated May 2, 2016, on the municipal website and requiring that the applicant host a Development Information Meeting (DIM), and Council considers it unnecessary to provide any further consultation opportunities, except by way of holding a Public Hearing on the bylaw; 2)That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7176-2015, as amended in the Council report dated May 2, 2016, be considered in conjunction with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan; 3)That it be confirmed that Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7176-2015, as amended in the Council report dated May 2, 2016, is consistent with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan; 4)That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7176-2015, as amended in the Council report dated May 2, 2016, be given second reading and be forwarded to Public Hearing; 5)That the following terms and condition be met prior to final reading: i)Amendment to Official Community Plan Appendix D – Temporary Use Permits, to add the subject property to the list of properties; and ii)A refundable security equivalent to 100% of the estimated landscape cost will be provided to ensure satisfactory provision of landscaping and retaining wall with acoustical barrier, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Temporary Use Permit. 1102 - 2 - DISCUSSION: 1)Background Context: Applicant: David Ho Owner: Beta Enterprises Ltd. Legal Description: Lot 1, Section 28, Township 12, New Westminster District Plan LMP46534, Except: Plan BCP39158 OCP: Existing: Commercial Proposed: Commercial, Temporary Off-Street Parking Use Zoning: Existing: C-1 (Neighbourhood Commercial) Proposed: C-1 (Neighbourhood Commercial) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Residential Zone: RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Designation: Estate Suburban Residential South: Use: Pub and Liquor Store Zone: CS-1 (Service Commercial) Designation: Commercial and Estate Suburban Residential East: Use: Residential Zone: RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Designation: Estate Suburban Residential West: Use: Residential (Strata) Zone: RG-2 (Residential Strata) and RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Designation: Estate Suburban Residential Existing Use of Property: Vacant Proposed Use of Property: Temporary Off-Street Parking Use Access: Dogwood Avenue Site Area: 1758 m² (0.43 acres) Servicing: Urban 2)Site Characteristics: The subject property is approximately 1758 m² (0.4 acres), and is located on the north-east corner of 232 Street and Dogwood Avenue. It is bordered to the north, east, southeast and southwest by single family residential developments and the Black Sheep Pub is located to the south (see Appendices A and B). 3)Project Description: The subject property had an approved development permit (2012-062-DP) issued on July 11, 2014, which proposed a mixed-use commercial and residential development that would consist of five commercial units on the main level, and five rental housing units on the second storey. A text - 3 - amendment to the C-1 (Neighbourhood Commercial) zone was required to allow for the increased density. However, as substantial construction did not commence within 18 months of approval, this development permit has expired. The applicant is now proposing to amend Appendix D - Temporary Use Permits of the Official Community Plan (OCP) to allow a Temporary Use Permit for off-street parking on the subject property (see Appendix C). This will provide approximately 58 parking spaces for the Black Sheep Pub , located at 12968 232 Street, for up to six years, or until such a time that the owner decides to redevelop the subject property. Perimeter landscaping and the acoustical barrier walls proposed under the previously approved development permit (2012-062-DP) will be provided as a condition of this Temporary Use Permit (see Appendices D and E). As per Section 497 of the Local Government Act, the Temporary Use Permit is valid for a period of three years, and can be renewed only once for another period of three years. 4) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: An OCP amendment is required to add the subject property into Appendix D – Temporary Use Permits of the OCP. Appendix D of the OCP states the following: 1. Lands in the District may be designated to permit temporary uses if a condition or circumstance exists that warrants the use for a short period of time but does not warrant a change of land use designation or zoning of the property. 2. Council has the authority by resolution to issue Temporary Use Permits to allow temporary uses on specific properties. Council may specify conditions for the temporary use. 3. Designated Temporary Use Permit areas will require guidelines that specify the general conditions regarding the issuance of permits, the use of the land, and the date the use is to terminate. 4. As a condition of issuing the permit, Council may require applicants or owners to remove buildings, to restore the property to a specific condition when the use ends, and to post a security bond. A permit may be issued for a period of up to three years, and may be renewed only once. 5. Council may issue Temporary Use Permits to allow: a) temporary commercial uses, i.e., temporary parking areas; and b) temporary industrial uses, i.e. soil screening. 6. A Temporary Use Permit is issued in accordance with the provisions of Section 920.2 of the Local Government Act. The main difference between rezoning and temporary use permits is the duration of time that the use is permitted on the property, and the removal and restoration requirements. Under the previous Rezoning and Development Permit applications, a text amendment was approved to allow off-street parking for 18 parking spaces for the Black Sheep Pub as a principal use on the subject property; however these parking spaces were going to be provided in an underground parkade once the development was constructed. This Temporary Use Permit would temporarily allow the off-street surface parking as a principal use over the entire property, without a principal building on the property. - 4 - In addition to the Temporary Use Permit for the subject property, amendments to Appendix D of the OCP are also proposed to add “other temporary uses” under the section that allows Council to issue Temporary Use Permits, as currently Council may only issue Temporary Use Permits for commercial or industrial uses, which reflected the Local Government Act language of the day. Other amendments are of a housekeeping nature and change the Local Government Act reference and reflect that Maple Ridge is now a City rather than a District. The bylaw has been amended to add the Permit Area Number “5”, to be in sequential numeric order within Appendix D of the OCP. 5)Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting was held at 23347 128 Avenue, Yennadon Elementary School, on March 17, 2016. Six neighbours attended the meeting and supported the temporary parking lot to help relieve parking congestion along Dogwood Avenue. One letter of support was received from the public. 6)Interdepartmental Implications: The Engineering Department has indicated that a Building Permit will be required for the onsite works which will include a storm sewer connection. Securities for offsite works have already been collected with the previous rezoning application. 7)Traffic Impact: The temporary parking lot is intended to alleviate the parking concerns along Dogwood Avenue. The temporary parking lot could be in use for a potential maximum of up to six years, should the applicant receive an extension through Council after the first three years for the Temporary Use Permit. When the subject property redevelops, a covenant is in place to provide 18 parking spaces for the Black Sheep Pub, located at 12968 232 Street. 8)School District No. 42 Comments: Pursuant to Section 476 of the Local Government Act, consultation with School District No. 42 is required at the time of preparing or amending the OCP. A referral was sent to School District No. 42 on November 13, 2015 and no response has been received to date. 9)Local Government Act: An amendment to the OCP requires the local government to consult with any affected parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section 477 of the Local Government Act. The amendment required for this application, to amend Appendix D - Temporary Use Permits of the Official Community Plan (OCP) is proposed to allow a Temporary Use Permit on the subject property, 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. - 5 - 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 second reading be given to OCP Amending Bylaw No. 7176-2015, and that application 2015-275-CU be forwarded to Public Hearing. “Original signed by Michelle Baski” _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Michelle Baski, AScT, MA Planner 1 “Original signed by Christine Carter” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “Original signed by Christine Carter” for _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services “Original signed by E.C.

This would prohibit wine and liquor sales from establishing in grocery stores within one kilometer of existing private or government liquor stores. Council passed the following resolution: That the City hereby begin the preparation of a zoning bylaw in the form of a bylaw attached as Appendix “H” of the staff report dated August 31, 2015 to prohibit the sale of liquor in any grocery store located within one kilometer of a license retail store or government liquor store. When the staff report was considered on December 8, 2015, Council passed the following resolution: That Bylaw No. 7190-2015 be given first reading and that staff be directed to provide Council with information as to the decision of the City of Pitt Meadows and the City of Mission on the sale of wine in grocery stores. RECOMMENDATION: That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7190-2015 be given second reading, and forward ed to Public Hearing. BACKGROUND Council received a letter dated June 18, 2015 from the Alliance of Beverage Licensees (ABLE BC) (see Appendix A) regarding Bill 22, the new Special Wine Store Licence Auction Act. The Alliance expressed concern about the impact of wine sales in grocery stores on private liquor stores (referred to as “licensee retail stores” under the Liquor Control and Licensing Act and the Liquor Control and Licensing Regulation). 1103 At a Council Meeting held on July 28, 2015, Council directed staff to prepare a report on options for implementing a minimum 1 kilometre distance rule (the 1-km Rule) through a Zoning Bylaw amendment for all future alcohol beverage retailers in Maple Ridge . Council passed the following resolution: That staff be directed to prepare a report on options for the implementation of a minimum one km distance rule for all future beverage alcohol retailers in Maple Ridge. The requested report was presented at Workshop on August 31, 2015, at which time; Council was presented with three options to proceed with in response to the ABLE BC. These options were: 1.Make no changes and maintain the “status quo” with the Liquor Cont rol Licencing Branch regulating the licensing of liquor sales in grocery stores through their regulations and directives; or 2.Amend the Zoning Bylaw to prohibit liquor sales in all grocery stores, such that a site specific Zoning Bylaw amendment would be required for any grocery store wishing to sell wine or other liquor; or 3.Amend the Zoning Bylaw to prohibit the sale of liquor in grocery stores that are located within 1 kilometre of an existing liquor store Council selected Option 2, granted first and second readings to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7162-2015 on August 31, 2015, held Public Hearings on September 15 and October 20, 2015, and defeated the bylaw when third reading was considered on October 27, 2015. In the interim period between Council’s decision to defeat the amending bylaw (No.7162 - 2015) and the decision to again reconsider the matter (Nov 24th, 2015), an application was received for a business licence from a grocery store for wine sales. Given that there was no restriction in place and Council had dealt with the issue fully, the business licence was issued and wine may be purchased at the Valley Fair Mall Save-on Foods. Any new amendment by Council to the Zoning Bylaw intending to restrict wine sales in grocery stores cannot be applied retroactively to this store (i.e. it is now in operation and therefore “grandfathered”). On November 24, 2015, Council directed staff to bring forward a bylaw in line with Option 3 to establish a 1 kilometre distance rule (the 1-km Rule) through a Zoning Bylaw amendment. The requested bylaw Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7190-2015 (Appendix C) was considered by Council on December 8, 2015. Council granted first reading only, and requested more information on decisions in the neighbouring communities of Pitt Meadows and Mission, before making a decision about whether or not to proceed further. The following motion was passed by Council: That Bylaw No. 7190-2015 be given first reading and that staff be directed to provide Council with information as to the decision of the City of Pitt Meadows and the City of Mission on the sale of wine in grocery stores. DISCUSSION Decision by Pitt Meadows: On December 15, 2015, Pitt Meadows Council referred the issue of establishing a one kilometre distance requirement for liquour/wine sales in grocery stores to their staff. On January 25, 2016, Pitt Meadows Council decided to proceed with a text amending bylaw (Appendix B) to establish such a distance restriction, granting first and second reading on March 1, 2016. The bylaw went before Public Hearing and was granted third and final reading on April 5, 2016. Decision by Mission: As of mid-April, Administrative staff in Mission have advised us that Mission Council does not intend to regulate wine sales in grocery stores. CONCLUSION On November 24, 2015, Council requested that a 1 kilometre distance rule (the 1-km Rule) be established through a Zoning Bylaw amendment for all future alcohol beverage retailers in Maple Ridge. Such a report was brought forward and Bylaw No. 7190-2015 was given first reading, pending more information from staff about decisions by the councils in Pitt Meadows and Mission on the same grocery store wine sale issue. A 1 Kilometre Rule similar to the one being considered by Maple Ridge Council was passed by Pitt Meadows Council. Mission Council will not be pursuing grocery store wine sale restrictions at this time. “Original signed by Adrian Kopystynski” ______________________________________________ Prepared by : Adrian Kopystynski, MCIP, RPP, MCAHP Planner “Original signed by Christine Carter” _________________________________________________ Approved by : Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “Original signed by Christine Carter” for __________________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.

The service is for enhanced landscape maintenance of a parkette and trail within the development. The bylaw will require the future property owners of each of the 12 single family lots to pay an annual fee as a Local Service Tax for these enhanced landscape maintenance areas within the development. Similar Local Area Service bylaws have been established in Albion and Silver Valley. A concurrent rezoning application (2014-054-RZ) was granted final reading on March 8, 2016. Local Area Service Bylaws have previously been applied in other areas of Maple Ridge, predominantly in growth areas such as Silver Valley and Albion. The nature of this development project as a relatively small infill project has generated discussion about the application parameters for when Local Area Service Bylaws are required. As such, staff will be preparing an information report to Council in 2016 outlining the current practices and performance of Local Area Service Bylaws. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1.That a Local Area Service Bylaw, as formally petitioned by the developer of the lands referred to as ‘Dogwood’, and per the Community Charter, Part 7, Division 5, 211 (1)(a), be authorized for the enhanced landscape maintenance costs to be levied on the benefitting properties to be created by subdivision of the land; and further 2.That Dogwood Ridge Local Area Service Bylaw No. 7246-2016 be given first, second and third readings. DISCUSSION: a)Background Context: The subject property was rezoned on March 8, 2016 to allow for future subdivision into 12 single family lots. The lots will be accessed from a new local road connected to Dogwood Avenue. The new local road has been designed to maintain a large isolated stand of mature trees through the creation of a 1,158 m2 (12, 464 ft2) ‘parkette’ within the road allowance. Similar road designs have been used in Silver Valley Eco-Cluster developments, and in Albion. The proposed road will loop around this stand of trees so that they can be preserved in their natural state. 1104 - 2 - In addition, the applicant proposes to dedicate 6,601.1 m2 (71,054 ft2) of developable land along the eastern property line for preservation of mature trees. These combined areas are equivalent to 25% of the development site area, which does not include Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA) that are undevelopable. A pedestrian trail will be constructed through the dedicated park land to the river and will connect to the vehicle access road. As this area has not been identified as part of the trail network, ongoing maintenance for the trail, as well as the ‘parkette’, will be funded through a Local Area Service Bylaw for the benefitting 12 lots created through subdivision. b)Desired Outcomes: A Local Area Service Bylaw is required for the enhanced landscape maintenance of a parkette and trail within the development in order for subdivision approval under application 2014-054-SD. The developer has made a formal petition, per the Community Charter, Part 7, Division 5, 211 (1)(a), requesting the City provide a Local Area Service Bylaw, specific to those properties to be created by subdivision. The developer of the site will be responsible for the enhanced landscaped areas installation costs and maintenance costs, ensuring 100% survival, for the first year after completion of planting. The costs for ongoing maintenance in subsequent years will then be provided by the 12 property owners after subdivision. The cost recovery method will be through the collection of 100% of the enhanced landscaping maintenance costs as a Local Service Tax. c)Dogwood Enhanced Landscape Area Requirements: The enhanced landscape maintenance areas include a parkette and trail. These areas are identified on the Bylaw Map (Schedule “A” of Appendix “D”). The planting concept for these landscape areas is for enhanced natural areas that will preserve the existing trees and will include a variety of native shrubs. The planting plan for the enhanced landscape planting areas was prepared by Letts Environmental Consultants and is attached as Schedule ‘C” of Appendix “D”. The recommended procedures and frequencies for maintenance is Level 3 – Moderate, under the BC Landscape Standard. This standard is for preservation of natural conditions, with weeds and debris removed as necessary. The standard includes maintaining areas to preserve natural plantings in a natural condition. Phoenix Environmental has provided an estimate for the yearly maintenance of $1,350.00 per year after the developer’s initial one year maintenance period, attached as Appendix “E”. d) Citizen Implications: The estimated cost of the petitioned service will be $112.50 per year for each residential lot of the 12 lots in the Dogwood Local Area Service. It is anticipated that this charge will start in 2018, after the completion of the one year maintenance period required from the developer. Potential buyers prior to 2018 will be advised of the future charge through a notation on the Property Tax Information Sheet. Once the charge comes into effect, the cost will be included in the property tax. Operations Department: The enhanced landscaping maintenance requirements for the enhanced landscape planting areas in this development are in excess of the funded base level of maintenance provided throughout Maple - 3 - Ridge, and therefore would be unfunded by the City. Local Area Service bylaws have been established in several other areas in the City, including Albion and Silver Valley. Finance Department: The Property Tax section of the Finance Department will impose the cost of this service as a levy and place the notation on the tax roll of the benefitting property owners, anticipated to be in 2018. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that the formal petition by the developer for a Local Area Service be authorized by Council for the enhanced landscape maintenance costs to be levied on the benefitting properties to be created by subdivision of the land; and that first, second and third readings be given to Dogwood Local Area Service Bylaw No. 7246-2016. “Original signed by Amelia Bowden” _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Amelia Bowden Planning Technician “Original signed by Christine Carter” “Original signed by David Boag” ____________________________________________ _______________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Approved by: David Boag Director of Planning Director of Parks & Facilities “Original signed by Christine Carter” for _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.

The applicant has now applied for a final one year extension under Maple Ridge Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999. The purpose of this application is to rezone the subject property from A-2 (Upland Agricultural) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to allow for future subdivision into 3 lots. RECOMMENDATION: That pursuant to Maple Ridge Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999, a final one year extension be granted for rezoning application 2011-002-RZ (property located at 25608 Bosonworth Avenue and that the following conditions be addressed prior to consideration of Final Reading: i. Registration of a Rezoning Servicing Agreement as a Restrictive Covenant and receipt of the deposit of a security, as outlined in the Agreement; ii.Road widening, truncation and cul-de-sac turn-around as required; iii.Registration of a geotechnical report as a Restrictive Covenant at the Land Title Office which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed development; iv. A disclosure statement must be submitted by a Professional Engineer advising whether there is any evidence of underground fuel storage tanks. If there is evidence, a site profile pursuant to the Waste Management Act must be provided in accordance with the regulations. v. Pursuant to the Contaminated Site Regulations of the Environmental Management Act, the property owner will provide a Site Profile for the subject land(s). 1105 - 2 - DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Paul Hayes Owner: Ian A Speckman Legal Description: Lot 1, Section 12, Township 12, New Westminster District Plan 2713 OCP: Existing: Suburban Residential Proposed: Suburban Residential Zoning: Existing: A-2 (Upland Agricultural) Proposed: RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Surrounding Uses North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) subject to 2012- 102-RZ for 4 RS-2 lots and 1 renmant RS-3 zoned lot Designation Suburban Residential South: Use: Vacant District Land Zone: A-2 (Upland Agricultural) Designation: Forest East: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: A-2 (Upland Agricultural) Designation: Suburban Residential West: Use: Single Family Residential Strata Zone: RG-2 (Suburban Residential Strata) Designation: Suburban Residential Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential Site Area: 1.882 HA.

Application Progress: The extension request for this application was submitted too late to make the April 18, 2016 CoW meeting, but before the expiry date of April 23, 2016. If Council allows the extension, it would apply retroactively, April 23, 2016 – April 23, 2017. As well, the subject site and the application across the street to the north (2012-102-RZ) have the same developer (Paul Hayes). Both applications share some conditions (e.g. those related to the road, a trail and services) making it more effective for the developer to proceed in unison . Therefore, the extension applications for both files (2012-102-RZ expires May 27, 2015) have been submitted together to allow both to proceed to completion and are both scheduled for the May 2, 2016 Committee of the Whole meeting. The applicant has made progress on some of the terms and conditions of 2011-002-RZ, including submission of a geotechnical report, a storm water management concept, topographic analysis and plans for the septic system and steep slope covenants. The steep slope covenant has replaced the requirement for a development permit application. The applicant has also made a new subdivision application in place of the one that expired. Alternatives: Council may choose one of the following alternatives: 1.grant the request for extension; 2.deny the request for extension; or 3.repeal third reading of the bylaw and refer the bylaw to Public Hearing. In considering these alternatives, pursuant to Council Policy 6.31 under the Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) Program, Council may choose to apply the CAC Program when considering extension applications. Council may choose to add to the third reading terms and conditions to require the following CAC contribution be made prior to final reading: $5,100 x 3 single family lots = $15,300 - 4 - CONCLUSION: The applicant has completed some of the terms and conditions of this rezoning application; however, needs additional time to complete the remaining ones and to coordinate this with another project across the street from the subject site. Therefore, the applicant has applied for a final one year extension. “Original signed by Adrian Kopystynski ” _______________________________________________ Prepared by : Adrian Kopystynski, MCIP, RPP, MCAHP Planner “Original signed by Christine Carter” _______________________________________________ Approved by : Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “Original signed by Christine Carter” for _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn GM: Public Works & Development Services “Original signed by E.C.

APPENDIX C - 2 - DISCUSSION: a)Background Context: Applicant: Paul Hayes Owner: Ian A. Speckman Legal Description: Lot 1, Section 12, Township 12, New Westminstwer Plan 2713 OCP: Existing: Suburban Residential Zoning: Existing: A-2 (Upland Agricultural) Proposed: RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation Agricultural and Suburban Residential South: Use: Vacant District Land Zone: A-2 (Upland Agricultural) Designation: Forest East: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: A-2 (Upland Agricultural) Designation: Suburban Residential West: Use: Single Family Residential Strata Zone: RG-2 (Suburban Residential Strata) Designation: Suburban Residential Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential Site Area: 1.882 HA. (4.56 Acres) Access: Bosonworth Avenue and 256 Street Servicing requirement: On-site septic and municipal water Companion Applications: 2011-002-SD b)Project Description: The applicant is seeking to rezone the subject 1.882 hectare (4.56 acre) property from A-2 (Upland Agricultural) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential), to create 3 single family lots. Two of the proposed lots will front on Bosonworth Avenue and the third southernmost lot will face 256 Street. Bosonworth Avenue becomes an unpaved gravel road in front of this property and 256 Street has been constructed south of Bosonworth Avenue as part of the Grant Hill subdivision to the west. Widening and paving of Bosonworth Avenue, a cul-de-sac turnaround at the current south terminus of 256 Street and a corner truncation at the intersection of these two streets will be provided as part of the subdivision associated with this rezoning application. - 3 - The subject property contains an existing dwelling to be retained. It will be sited on one of the three lots in accordance with Zoning Bylaw setback requirements. The land slopes upwards from Bosonworth Avenue and is particularly steep at the southern end of the site abutting the District Forest Lands. The southern portion of the site and the unconstructed portion of 256 Street will be retained in its natural state. A preliminary site plan showing the lot layout, proposed building envelopes and on-site septic disposal areas is attached for reference (Appendix C). c)Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The proposal for RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Zoning is consistent with the zones permitted in the Zoning Matrix for lands designated as Suburban Residential. Consequently, the proposal is consistent with the existing Official Community Plan designation. Zoning Bylaw: The proposed lots will meet the minimum lot width, depth and area set out in the Zoning Bylaw for RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) zone. Each lot is at least 0.40 hectares (1.0 acre) in area, with the southern lot having a greater area of 1.055 hectares. The two lots along Bosonworth Avenue will be about 50 metres wide and 84 metres deep, and Lot 3 is about 100 metres in both width and depth. Lot 3 is larger to permit adequate space for a building site and septic fields due to the sloping conditions of the land. Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting was not required because the proposed subdivision will result in fewer than 25 dwelling units, and no Official Community Plan amendment is required. d)Environmental Implications: At first reading, it was anticipated that pursuant to Section 8.10 of the Official Community Plan, a Natural Features Development Permit (NFDP) application would be required for the portion of the site with an average natural slope of greater than 15 percent. After further review, it has been determined that a development permit will not be required. Instead, the sloping lands in the southern part of the site will be subject to a no-build/no disturb steep slope covenant. Plantings will be undertaken by the applicant in lieu of a development permit, for restoration and enhancement works along an unbuilt portion of 256 Street north of Bosonworth Avenue in conjunction with another site (2012-102-RZ) being developed by the same applicant. The necessary covenant and accompanying explanatory plan will be registered on proposed Lot 3 at the time of subdivision. - 4 - e)Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: Engineering has identified a number of required off site works including: construction of Bosonworth to a rural standard (it is currently a gravel road) in front of the property, a corner truncation, dedication to complete the cul-de-sac at the south end of 256 Street, storm water/drainage works on Bosonworth, and installing a mast-arm street light and new water service connections. Latecomers for the area’s water system and road access onto 256 Street may apply. Parks & Leisure Services Department: An existing off road trail within the Bosonworth Avenue right-of-way may need to be accommodated as a boulevard trail in the road right of way in conjunction with the construction of Bosonworth Avenue across the frontage of the property. This will be determined as part of the subdivision approval process. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that second reading be given to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6795 – 2011 and that application be forwarded to Public Hearing.

The following dates outline Council’s consideration of the application and Bylaw 6965-2013: First Reading was granted March 20, 2013; Second Reading was granted April 8, 2014 Public Hearing was held May 20, 2014; Third Reading was granted May 27, 2014; and First extension as granted on June 23, 2015. Application Progress: This application shares terms and conditions with application 2011-002-RZ submitted by the same developer (Paul Hayes). The rear portion of the subject site was also subject to a successful ALR exclusion application 2014-060-AL, approved by the ALC on July 27, 2015. Following this, time was spent adjusting the project (e.g. reducing the ALR buffer, changing the layout to accommodate future subdivision and grading plans). The applicant has complete some terms and conditions (e.g. topographic analysis, preliminary rehabilitation and enhancement plan, septic disposal and grading plan) and requires additional time to complete the remaining requirements. Some requirements are being pursued with 2011- 002-RZ for the road frontage the two development proposals share. Both of the extensions are scheduled for the May 2, 2016 Committee of the Whole meeting. The applicant has also submitted a new subdivision application in place of the one that expired. Alternatives: Council may choose one of the following alternatives: 1.grant the request for extension; 2.deny the request for extension; or 3.repeal third reading of the bylaw and refer the bylaw to Public Hearing. - 4 - In considering these alternatives, pursuant to Council Policy 6.31 under the Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) Program, Council may choose to apply the CAC Program when considering extension applications. Council may choose to add to the third reading terms and conditions to require the following CAC contribution be made prior to final reading: $5,100 x 5 single family lots = $25,500 CONCLUSION: With the successful exclusion of the northern portion of the property from the ALR, the applicant has been able to complete some of the terms and conditions of this rezoning application. However, additional time is needed to turn their attention to the remaining requirements and to coordinate this with another project across the street (2011-002-RZ) from the subject site. Therefore, the applicant has applied for a final one year extension. “Original signed by Adrian Kopystynski” _______________________________________________ Prepared by : Adrian Kopystynski, MCIP, RPP, MCAHP Planner “Original signed by Christine Carter” _______________________________________________ Approved by : Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “Original signed by Christine Carter” for _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn GM: Public Works & Development Services “Original signed by E.C.

The site is identified by the Agricultural Land Commission as one of the “Remnant Properties” in their comments concerning the Albion Flats Concept Plan. The applicant was given the option of proceeding with an exclusion application on the rear portion of the development site ahead of rezoning. The applicant did not choose to do the exclusion; therefore, instead of rezoning from RS-3 to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) and A-1 (Small Holding Agricultural), the northern portion located in the ALR will retain its current RS-3 zoning. This report is being brought forward because the bylaw granting second reading on March 25, 2014 contained an error – the map schedule correctly showed the front being rezoned from RS-3 to RS-2 and the rear retaining RS-3; however the bylaw text still referred to the A-1 Zone. This inconsistency needs to be corrected by rescinding second reading, amending the bylaw and granting second reading to the amended bylaw before being advanced to Public Hearing. The southern portion is proposed to be subdivided into 4 RS-2 lots. The proposed RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) zoning complies with the Official Community Plan. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1.That second reading for Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6965-2013 be rescinded; 2.That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6965-2013 be amended as identified in the staff report dated April 7, 2014, be given second reading, and be forwarded to Public Hearing; and APPENDIX C - 2 - 3.That the following terms and conditions be met prior to Final Reading: i.Registration of a Rezoning Servicing Agreement as a Restrictive Covenant and receipt of the deposit of a security, as outlined in the Agreement; ii.Road dedication as required; iii.Registration of a geotechnical report as a Restrictive Covenant at the Land Title Office which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed development; iv. Registration of a Tree Protection/Steep Slope Restrictive Covenant at the Land Title Office; v.Registration of a Agricultural Impact Assessment report and a Landscaping Plan for a buffer along the Agricultural Land Reserve Boundary at the Land Title Office; vi. Entering into a Restoration and Enhancement Agreement for the unconstructed portion of the 256 Street allowance abutting the site; vii. Removal of the existing building/s; viii. A disclosure statement must be submitted by a Professional Engineer advising whether there is any evidence of underground fuel storage tanks. If there is evidence, a site profile pursuant to the Waste Management Act must be provided in accordance with the regulations. ix.Pursuant to the Contaminated Site Regulations of the Environmental Management Act, the property owner will provide a Site Profile for the subject land(s). DISCUSSION: a)Background Context: Applicant: Paul Hayes Owner: Walter and Karoline Heckmann Legal Description: Lot 8, Section 13, Township 12, Plan 8336 OCP: Existing: Agricultural, Suburban Residential Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Proposed: RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) and RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) - 3 - Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Single Family Residential in ALR Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Agricultural South: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Agricultural East: Use: Single Family Residential in ALR Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Suburban Residential West: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Suburban Residential Existing Use of Property: Vacant, forested Proposed Use of Property: Residential Site Area: 4.047 Ha (10 acres) Access: Non-ALR lots: Bosonworth Avenue ALR lot: 112 Avenue Servicing requirement: Non-ALR lots: Municipal water and on-site septic disposal; ALR lot: Well water and on-site septic disposal b)Project Description: The subject property slopes down from Bosonworth Avenue northward through the ALR and to 112 Avenue. The property is currently forested, except for a clearing at the northern end. A small existing structure will be removed prior to final reading. The site is serviced with a well and septic fields. The applicant proposes to rezone the southern portion of the property that is not in the ALR from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential. This will permit the creation of about 4 lots having an area of 0.45 Ha (1.1 acres) each fronting along Bosonworth Avenue. The northern 2.22 Ha (5.5 acres) portion of the property within the Agricultural Land Reserve will retain its RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) zone. The attached preliminary site plan shows the lot layout, proposed building envelopes and on-site septic disposal areas (Appendix C). This subdivision does not require Agricultural Land Commission approval because Section 10 (1) (d) of the Agricultural Land Reserve Use, Subdivision and Procedure Regulations allows the Approving Officer to establish a legal boundary along the boundary of the Agricultural Land Reserve. - 4 - c)Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The southern portion of the development site is currently designated Suburban Residential and the northern portion located and being subdivided along the Agricultural Land Reserve boundary is currently designated Agricultural. The proposed rezoning complies with the established designations. Zoning Bylaw: The application proposes to rezone the southern portion of the property located at 25638 112 Avenue from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to permit four 0.45 Ha (1.1 acre) RS-2 lots, and a remnant 2.22 Ha (5.5 acres) RS-3 parcel in the Agricultural Land Reserve. The proposed lots will comply with Zoning Bylaw requirement for lot area, width and depth. Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw: 256 Street is an unconstructed road to the west of the subject site. Due to excessive grade, the Engineering Department determined it cannot be built within municipal road standards and a development variance permit is required to dispense with its construction. Engineering is supportive of this variance. A separate report will be forwarded to Council on this matter at a future date. The road allowance contains a water pumping station at the bottom of the hill on 112 Avenue, and municipal water main from the station up the hill to Bosonworth Avenue and then further south to the Grant Hill Reservoir. Development Information Meeting: A development Information Meeting was not required because the proposed subdivision will result in fewer than 25 dwelling units. Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.5 of the Official Community Plan, a Natural Feature Development Permit is required to address excessive sloping conditions on portions of the site. This development permit will be coordinated with these landscaping requirements: Restoration and enhancement plantings will be undertaken by the applicant in lieu of plantings on the subject site and another to the south (2011-002-RZ). This planting will be designed not to impact the recently installed water main and to stabilize the sloping 256 Street right-of-way. - 5 - Landscaping will be planted along the rear of the proposed 4 lots and on the eastern side of the easternmost lot to create a buffer with the Agricultural Land Reserve in accordance with the Landscaping Buffer Specification established by the Agricutural Land Commission. d)Environmental Implications: The site is covered by a tree canopy that increases in intensity from north (along 112 Avenue) to south (along Bosonworth Avenue). The site is characterized by slopes between 10 and 25 percent. The southeastern portion of the site has excessive sloping (more than 25%) conditions. Therefore, the proposed eastern lot will be subject to a Tree Protection/Steep Slope Restrictive Covenant to be registered on title as a third reading condition. The Arborist Report and Tree Survey identify trees to be removed to provide envelopes for building sites and septic fields. Plans have been submitted identifying these envelopes. These envelopes will need to be adjusted for best practices as part of fulfilling subdivision conditions, particularly on the easternmost lot. A geotechnical engineer must insure that any lot grading will have no impact on slope stability. A combination of Development Permit and Restoration and Enhancement Agreement will be used to protect sensitive sloping areas and provide the specification for the necessary plantings to maintain slope stability on the site and along the 256 Street right-of-way. e)Agricultural Impact: Policy 6-12 b) strives to protect the productivity of agricultural lands by “requiring agricultural impact assessments (AIAs) and Groundwater Impact Assessment of non-farm development and infrastructure projects and identifying measures to off-set impacts on agricultural capability.” An Agricultural Impact Assessment report has been provided that satisfies District requirements for this purpose. This report confirms that there will be no direct or indirect drainage, water quality, noise and traffic impact on the agricultural area. A Landscaping Buffer Plan in accordance with ALC and District standards will be completed by the applicant. Registration of a Restrictive Covenant, with the Agricultural Impact Assessment report, a Landscaping Buffer Plan and submission of a security, is a third reading requirement. f)Interdepartmental Implications: Building Department: Comments from Building include: referencing the 2012 Building Code in the Geotechnical Report, insuring building permits are obtained to demolish existing buildings, and insuring the final site grading plan provides for smooth grade transitions between lots. - 6 - Engineering Department: Comments from Engineering have identified some off-site requirements that the applicant needs to address. These include: road widening along 112 and Bosonworth Avenues, and the construction of Bossonworth Avenue (currently a gravel road) to a rural standard. Engineering further advises that the location and design of each driveway be reviewed to avoid excessive driveway grades. Fire Department: Due to heavy tree cover, Fire requires adequate clearance to each future residential dwelling. When constructed, the driveways will need to be clear of vegetation 6 metres wide and minimum 5 metres high with a 5 metre wide drivable surface. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6965-2013 have second reading rescinded, be amended as identified in the staff report dated April 7, 2014, be given second reading as amended, and be forwarded to Public Hearing.

The widening of 128 Avenue to an ultimate four lane cross-section was identified in the 2014 Strategic Transportation Plan (STP) and is required as traffic volumes increased due to growth. The expansion of 128 Avenue is in the City’s approved Financial Plan with the construction of Phase I from 210 Street to 216 Street now substantially complete and Phase II from 216 Street to 224 Street proposed for 2016. The construction on 128 Avenue from 216 Street to 224 Street includes widening the roadway from two to four lanes with a paved three metre wide multi-use path and one metre wide gravel horse trail on the north side. The work generally consists of roadway construction, ducting for future fibre optic cable, street lighting, signal modifications, landscaping, stream and ditch relocation, and fish habitat and riparian restoration. The project construction is anticipated to commence in late May 2016 with substantial completion in November 2016. An Invitation to Tender was issued on March 23, 2016 and closed on April 22, 2016. The lowest compliant tender price was submitted by B & B Contracting (2012) Ltd. for $6,524,600.00 excluding taxes. There is additional work to be undertaken by City crews on the City water infrastructure; third party utility relocations; environmental monitoring and construction compliance reviews. Council approval to award the contract is required for the work to proceed. RECOMMENDATION: THAT Contract ITT-EN16-23, 128 Avenue/Abernethy Way Road and Drainage Improvements (216 Street to 224 Street), be awarded to B & B Contracting (2012) Ltd. in the amount of $6,524,600.00 excluding taxes; and THAT a construction contingency of $975,000.00 be approved to address potential variations in field conditions; and THAT the ISL Engineering and Land Services Ltd. contract for Engineering Design Services for 128 Avenue (Abernethy Way) from 210 Street to 224 Street, be amended to increase the budget by $250,000.00 for environmental monitoring and construction compliance services; and THAT the Financial Plan be amended to increase the project budget by $989,600.00 as detailed in the Council Report dated May 2, 2016 titled Award of Contract ITT-EN16-23: 128 Avenue/Abernethy Way Road and Drainage Improvements (216 Street to 224 Street); and further THAT the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the contracts.1107 DISCUSSION: a)Background Context: A primary arterial roadway, 128 Avenue from 210 Street to 232 Street provides access across Maple Ridge to the Golden Ears Bridge and Lougheed Highway and is part of the TransLink Major Road Network. The widening of 128 Avenue to an ultimate four lane cross-section was identified in the 2014 Strategic Transportation Plan (STP) and is required as traffic volumes increased due to growth. The expansion of 128 Avenue is in the City’s approved Financial Plan with the construction of Phase I from 210 Street to 216 Street now substantially complete and Phase II from 216 Street to 224 Street proposed for 2016. The construction on 128 Avenue from 216 Street to 224 Street includes widening the roadway from two to four lanes with a paved three metre wide multi-use path and one metre wide gravel horse trail on the north side. The work generally consists of roadway construction, ducting for future fibre optic cable, street lighting, signal modification, landscaping, stream and ditch relocation, and fish habitat and riparian restoration. The project construction is anticipated to commence in late May 2016 with substantial completion in November 2016. There are significant water courses that parallel or cross 128 Avenue that will be relocated to the south side of the proposed roadway. Utility relocations by third parties such as BC Hydro are required as part of the project and are included in the project costs. Tender Evaluation An Invitation to Tender was issued on March 23, 2016 for the 128 Avenue/Abernethy Way Road and Drainage Improvements (216 Street to 224 Street) and closed on April 22, 2016. Six compliant tenders were received ranging from $6,524,600.00 to $8,765,041.75 excluding taxes as noted below, listed in order from lowest to highest price: Staff has reviewed the tenders and the lowest compliant bid is $6,524,600.00 from B & B Contracting (2012) Ltd. who has completed a number of projects with a similar scope as 128 Avenue/Abernethy Way Road and Drainage Improvements (216 Street to 224 Street) and is suitably qualified for the works. Staff undertook reference checks with other municipalities and BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to confirm B & B Contracting (2012) Ltd. is capable of completing the project successfully and these were positive. Tender Price (excluding taxes) B & B Contracting (2012) Ltd. $6,524,600.00 BD Hall Constructors Corp. $7,382,053.00 Eurovia British Columbia Inc. $7,754,632.23 Tybo Contracting Ltd. $8,210,858.00 Pedre Contractors Ltd. $8,423,000.00 Triahn Enterprises Ltd. $8,765,041.75 Consultant Construction Services The City will have a site representative responsible for the day-to-day quality assurance of the contractor’s work and coordination of all site issues. However, given the complex nature of the environmental, fisheries and drainage elements of the project, on-site field reviews and monitoring by the design consultant is required to support City staff as well as satisfy Engineer of Record requirements. The project consultant, ISL Engineering and Land Services Ltd. (ISL), has provided a contract administration proposal of $250,000.00 for the necessary civil, geotechnical, electrical and environmental services during construction. b) Desired Outcome: The construction of 128 Avenue from 216 Street to 224 Street will provide significant improvements to safety, convenience and accessible movement of people, goods and services. This project will also provide a strong multi-modal transportation system by promoting alternative modes (pedestrian, bike) of travel to reduce reliance on the automobile. c) Strategic Alignment: The 128 Avenue/Abernethy Way Road and Drainage Improvements Project supports the following key strategies identified in the City’s Strategic Plan:  Ensure that the transportation system is accessible to individuals of all ages and physical abilities.  Continue to address long-term safety of the City’s roadway network.  Support development of efficient connections between Maple Ridge, key gateways and other regional nodes to enhance regional mobility.  Expand the network of cycling routes within the City and connections to nearby municipalities.  Provide attractive pedestrian facilities in key pedestrian areas and provide for safe facilities along corridors for growing areas.  Ensure that the transportation system serves and supports growth plans within the City and work with the Ministry of Transportation and TransLink to support regional travel demands.  Develop a transportation system that minimizes impacts on the air quality within the City by supporting walking, cycling and transit. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: The estimated construction duration is approximately five months (100 working days) with construction commencing approximately two weeks after the project is awarded and is expected to be substantially complete by November 2016. The impact to everyday traffic, residents, and businesses in the neighbourhood will be minimized as much as possible. 128 Avenue is expected to remain open to traffic throughout construction. Work on roadways and interruption of traffic is prohibited during peak traffic periods of 6:00am – 9:00am and 3:00pm – 6:00pm. Single lane alternating traffic will be maintained at all times unless approved otherwise in the Traffic Management Plan. In-stream works for the two major culvert crossings will be completed within the fisheries window which extends from August 1 to September 15. The Contractor’s schedule will be monitored to minimize impact on properties and events along the 128 Avenue corridor. Impacted parties, as well as the general public will be informed of the construction progress through the City’s website and social media sources. e)Interdepartmental Implications: The Engineering, Operations, Parks and Planning Departments have provided input during the design stage and City resources have been used where possible in the interests of cost effectiveness and efficiencies. f)Business Plan/Financial Implications: The estimated project construction cost is $8,289,600 including all third party utility relocates, field reviews and monitoring by professional consultants, construction costs and contingencies. The projected costs and funding breakdown is as follows: Construction $ 6,524,600 Additional Consultant Services $ 250,000 Third Party Utility Costs $ 300,000 Operations $ 240,000 Construction Contingency $ 975,000 Grand Total $ 8,289,600 Existing Funding 128 Avenue (216 St to 224 St ) $ 7,300,000 Additional Funding Requested Accumulated Surplus $ 296,880 Development Cost Charges $ 692,720 Subtotal $ 989,600 Total Funding $ 8,289,600 This project is largely funded by Development Cost Charges (approx. 70%). The balance is funded through General Revenue and grant funding. The project expenditures include a contingency that will only be utilized if required to address unforeseen issues throughout construction. To accommodate this, the approval for an additional potential draw of $695,300 from Development Cost Charges is identified along with $297,990 from accumulated surplus is required. CONCLUSIONS: The tender price of $6,524,600.00 excluding taxes by B & B Contracting (2012) Ltd. for 128 Avenue/Abernethy Way Road and Drainage Improvements (216 Street to 224 Street) is the lowest compliant tendered price. It is recommended that Council approve the award of the contract to B & B Contracting (2012) Ltd. It is further recommended that Council approve a total budget of $8,293,290 to allow for City water and traffic works, consultant construction services, third party utility relocations, and a project contingency. “Original signed by Jeff Boehmer” “Original signed by Trevor Thompson” Prepared by: Jeff Boehmer, PEng.

Swabey Chief Administrative Officer City of Maple Ridge TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: May 2, 2016 and Members of Council FILE NO: 11-5255-20-060 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W SUBJECT: North Alouette and South Alouette Rivers Additional Floodplain Analysis Phase 2 - Technical Investigations Completion Final Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Over the past decade flooding along the Alouette Rivers, especially the North Alouette River has become a concern for residents living in the floodplain. In 2007, extensive flooding prompted Maple Ridge to establish a multi-stakeholder Task Force for the Alouette Rivers floodplain to identify and compile information on flood issues in the area as well as develop a strategy to manage and/or improve the flood risks along the North and South Alouette rivers. On the recommendation of the Task Force, a hydrotechnical study was initiated to investigate and model both rivers, summarize the results in a report to improve the understanding of the river regimes, and help all parties with interests in the floodplain make informed future decisions. In January 2010, the City retained Northwest Hydraulic Consultants (NHC) to undertake an assessment of the North Alouette and South Alouette Rivers, develop the hydrotechnical model of the flood plain and prepare floodplain maps for both rivers. Staff developed a comprehensive plan based on recommendations from NHC to guide future flood management actions through a phased approach: Phase 1 – Data Review and Scoping: The first phase included a review of flood hazard problems and available information along with the development of a project scope for the technical investigations as the second phase. A final report for this phase was issued in January 2011, which was reviewed by staff. Phase 2 – Technical Investigations: The second phase included geomorphic assessments, climate and hydrologic analyses, hydraulic modelling of both rivers and floodplain, flood events and hazard mapping. An interim report for Phase Two was issued in May 2012 but limitations in accuracy of the river cross sections (supplied by BC Hydro as part of their dam breach modelling for the Alouette Dam) resulted in the model not being able to be calibrated. In 2014/15 NHC undertook a finely grained cross-sectional survey of the rivers and were able to complete the calibration of the model and finalize the Phase Two report. The report includes the updated hydraulic model, flood profiles and inundation mapping for different storm intensities ranging from a one-in-two year event up to a one-in-two hundred year event. The inundation maps indicate the extent of the floodplain affected by the flooding as well as the approximate water depths. 1108 Having a calibrated model now allows the City to determine the effect of any planned land changes in the floodplain. In 2012 the City adopted Policy 9.10 – “Regulation of Earth Fill within Floodplains” that requires applicants seeking to place fill or flood-proof lands within the floodplain to undertake a hydraulic assessment. With the current model a property owner with land in the floodplain can, for a fee have the City evaluate the impact on the floodplain, if any, and identify how to alleviate the impact. The “North Alouette and South Alouette Rivers Additional Floodplain Analysis Phase 2 – Technical Investigations Completion Final Report”, dated February 24, 2016 is attached for Council’s perusal. The amended Flood Construction Levels (FCL) will be utilized by City staff when reviewing proposed developments in the flood plain. The flood inundation maps will be incorporated into the City’s Emergency Response Plan and will assist in the development of guidelines for a flood recovery program. The consultant has proposed a third phase to the project that would utilize the calibrated model for the development of flood management strategies and flood damage mitigation options. This could include the development of a flood bylaw to improve flood resiliency, clarify flood proofing regulations and reduce flood risks in the long term as well as the development of a flood early warning system. These tasks will be brought forward for consideration in the next Financial Plan and Business Planning cycle. RECOMMENDATION: THAT the “North Alouette and South Alouette Rivers Additional Floodplain Analysis Phase 2 - Technical Investigations Completion Final Report, dated February 24, 2016” be endorsed. DISCUSSION: a)Background Context: The hydrologic regimes of the North and South Alouette Rivers are markedly different. The North Alouette is smaller and un-controlled and responds quickly to storm events, particularly large rain or rain-on-snow events. The much larger watershed of the South Alouette includes the Alouette Lake, controlled by BC Hydro, which is dominated by spring freshet type events. However, downstream of the dam, peak flows typically occur during the winter. Both rivers are dynamic and their channel geometry has changed over the past century; these changes are more apparent on the smaller, un-controlled North Alouette system. There is evidence that some aggradation may be taking place in the lower North Alouette study reach. The South Alouette River, that is controlled by BC Hydro, decreases peak flows downstream of the dam, has altered the natural geomorphology of this system, with some corresponding reduction in channel size. Over the past decade, flooding along the Alouette Rivers, especially the North Alouette River has become a concern for the residents living in the floodplain. In 2007, extensive flooding prompted Maple Ridge to establish a multi-stakeholder Task Force for the Alouette Rivers floodplain to identify and compile information on flood issues in the area as well as to develop a strategy to manage and/or improve the flood risks along the North and South Alouette rivers. The Task Force identified six focus areas: River hydrology, hydraulics and flood plain mapping Operation and maintenance Flood response Flood proofing and protection Data collection and information sharing, and Flood plain management roles and responsibilities. A hydrotechnical study was initiated to investigate and model both rivers, summarize the results in a report to improve the understanding of the river regimes, and help all parties with interests in the floodplain make informed future decisions. In January 2010, the City retained Northwest Hydraulic Consultants (NHC) to undertake an assessment of the North Alouette and South Alouette Rivers, develop the hydrotechnical model of the flood plain and prepare floodplain maps for both rivers. Staff developed a comprehensive plan based on recommendations from NHC to guide future flood management actions through a phased approach: Phase 1 – Data Review and Scoping: The first phase included a review of flood hazard problems and available information along with the development of a project scope for the technical investigations as the second phase. A final report for this phase was issued in January 2011, which was reviewed by staff. Phase 2 – Technical Investigations: The second phase included geomorphic assessments, climate and hydrologic analyses, hydraulic modelling of both rivers and floodplain, flood events and hazard mapping. An interim report for Phase Two was issued in May 2012 but limitations in accuracy of the river cross sections (supplied by BC Hydro as part of their dam breach modelling for the Alouette Dam) resulted in the model not being able to be calibrated. In 2014/15 NHC undertook a finely grained cross- sectional survey of the rivers and were able to complete the calibration of the model and finalize the Phase Two report. The report includes the updated hydraulic model, flood profiles and inundation mapping for different storm intensities ranging from a one-in-two year event up to a one-in-two hundred year event. The inundation maps indicate the extent of the floodplain affected by the flooding as well as the approximate water depths. Floodplain mapping corresponding to the 200-year flood was prepared for the North and South Alouette Rivers’ study area. The 200-year flood construction levels (FCLs) include a freeboard allowance of 0.6 m. The mapping also shows levels corresponding to the 25- year flood level including 0.6 m freeboard. Flood contours are based on the two- dimensional model output. The inundation boundaries were verified in the field by NHC staff and vary slightly compared to the previous mapping - reduced in a few areas and slightly increased in others. b)Desired Outcome: The Phase 2 report by NHC provides updated information regarding the Alouette floodplain that will assist both residents and the City. c)Strategic Alignment: The information compiled and floodplain maps developed as part of the present project form a key tool in meeting the Task Force objectives and aiding the City in moving forward to reduce potential future flood losses. d)Citizen/Customer Implications: The key benefits of the project are: Areas prone to flooding during different return period events are now identified and up‐to‐date Flood Construction Levels (FCLs) estimated. Over time, appropriate flood protection measures (structural and non-structural) can be developed for affected housing and long‐range improvements to infrastructure be planned. The hydraulic model forms a tool for evaluating the impact on flood levels caused by changes within the floodplain and the river channels. The effects on flood levels resulting from fill placement, new diking or development on the floodplain can be evaluated using the model. The benefits of enlarging bridge openings/ culverts or removing gravel depositions and debris can be also assessed. The hazard mapping can be used for issuing flood warnings to areas likely to be affected during particular events and for developing emergency response procedures. The maps indicate which roads will be most severely affected at a particular flow and safe access/egress routes can be identified. The mapping forms a public educational tool to inform residents regarding flood hazards and to provide guidance on improving residents’ safety. An important component of flood preparedness is flood recovery. (This was clearly demonstrated after the Calgary 2013 flooding, where recovery plans had been developed in advance.) The present mapping products will aid in developing flood recovery procedures. e)Interdepartmental Implications: The Engineering, Operations, Parks and Planning Departments have provided input during the analysis and modelling of the project. f)Business Plan/Financial Implications: The City’s investment in floodplain mapping products is of significant value and facilitates: Identification of present flood hazards Evaluation of any planned future changes in the floodplain/river channels Development of flood management tools CONCLUSIONS: The completion of the second phase of this project has produced a calibrated model that can be utilized by the City to assist individual property owners as well as larger flood management issues.

FloodingalongtheAlouetteRivershasbecomeasourceofincreasingconcernforMapleRidgeresidents inrecentyears.In2007,extensivefloodingpromptedthecreationofamultiͲstakeholdertaskforce.This taskforceincludedrepresentativesfromthemunicipality,relevantprovincialandfederalagencies, universitiesandthecommunityatlarge.Itsobjectivesweretoidentifyandcompileinformationonflood issuesandtodevelopastrategytomanage/reducethefloodriskalongtheNorthAlouetteandSouth AlouetteRivers.

TheresultinginitialPhase2modelwasusefulforgeneraldemonstrationoffloodhazardsandassessing impactsofmajorfloodplainalterations,whichweresummarisedinthe2011ExecutiveSummary. However,duetothesimplifiedportrayaloftheriverchannels,themodelaccuracywaslowandthe modelwasnotconsideredsuitableforestablishingFloodConstructionLevels(FCLs)ordetailed inundationmapping.

North Alouette and South Alouette Rivers Assessment and FloodplainAnalysis, Phase 2 – Technical Investigations (Final Report). Report prepared for theCity of Maple Ridge.References:1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.This map delineates the potential for flooding under conditions caused by a 200-yearreturn period event as described in NHC (2016). To account for future climate changeimpacts, the 200-year peak flow based on historic analysis was increased by 10% onall unregulated flow sources. No climate change allowance was made for flowsreleased from the Alouette Reservoir, as these are controlled by BC Hydro instead ofnatural processes.A freeboard allowance (margin of safety) of 0.6 m is included in the flood levels shownto account for various sources of uncertainty in the model inputs and parameters.LiDAR data surveyed in 2014 was used to create a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) forthe study area. The DEM surface was modified to include ground survey data for (1)the 132 Avenue bridge on the North Alouette River, (2) the 224 Street bridge on theNorth Alouette River, and (3) in channel surveys for the North and South AlouetteRivers. The maps depict flood levels based on ground conditions represented in thisDEM. Any changes to ground/channel elevations, land use or buildings from thoseincluded in the model will affect the flood levels and render site-specific informationobsolete.The model geometry was kept fixed although variations (erosion, degradation oraggradation) may occur during a flood event and/or over time. The maps do notprovide information on site-specific hazards such as land erosion or sudden shifts inthe water courses. Channel obstructions such as log-jams, local storm water inflows,groundwater or other land drainage can cause flood levels to exceed those indicatedon the map. Lands adjacent to a floodplain may be subject to flooding from tributarystreams that are not indicated on the maps.The flood levels are based on water surface profiles simulated using an integratedone- and two-dimensional hydrodynamic model developed by NHC (2016) using theMIKE Flood software. Model roughness values were initially assigned based ontypical channel and overbank resistance values; then calibrated to a flood event in2014 and validated to a flood in 2015.The Tretheway Dike does not meet provincial diking standards and would likelybreach at some flow less than the 200-year flood. The area behind the dike isconsidered part of the floodplain although not specifically mapped due to the absenceof breach modelling.The accuracy of simulated flood levels is limited by the reliability and extent of thewater level data and flow magnitude used for calibrating the model.The accuracy of the location of the floodplain boundary is limited by the accuracy ofthe DEM, model boundary conditions and model parameters. Locally raised areashave not been mapped in the floodplain extents.A Qualified Professional must be consulted for site-specific engineering analysis.Industry best practices were followed to generate the flood extent maps. However,actual flood levels and extents may vary from those shown and Northwest HydraulicConsultants Ltd. (NHC) does not assume any liability for such variations.Notes: 1 City of Maple Ridge TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: May 2, 2016 and Members of Council FILE NO: CDPR-0640-30 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: COW SUBJECT: Contract Award for Mowing Services – 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: A tender for bids from qualified companies for the provision of mowing and trimming services was issued in 2014 and, Horizon Landscape Contractors was the low bid in the invitation to tender #ITT- PL14-67. The tender call asked vendors to provide two options: - Option “A” for mowing and trimming services for Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows based on the previous mowing contract, and - Option “B” with pricing for mowing of parks sites that were being completed by parks staff at that time. Option “A” was approved for 2015, however staff are now recommending Option “B” which includes all of the option “A” and “B” sites for the 2016 mowing season. Option ”B” was asked for because staff wished to review the cost effectiveness of completing this work with one of the City’s existing large mowers; the mower was approaching the end of its useful life and would need to be replaced. The analysis in this case confirmed that this additional mowing could be completed by contract for less than the annual cost of a replacement mower. The review of the cost effectiveness of the mower also coincided with the review of the Parks Department structure. It demonstrated that the outsourcing of the mowing and trimming work would create an opportunity to re-assign a staff member to other priority activities that will continue to be needed after the October 2016 exit from the Joint Parks and Leisure Services agreement. It is important to note that the outsourcing of this mowing work will not negatively affect current staffing levels. RECOMMENDATION: That the Option “B” proposal from Horizon Landscape Contractors be approved for the sum of $167,065 plus $2,240.52 for new 2016 sites recently added to the contract, plus a contingency amount of $5,000 for other mowing services that may be required up to October 31, 2016 only. DISCUSSION: a)Background Context: The invitation to tender #ITT-PL14-67 requested two pricing options anticipating that the City may wish to consider permanently retiring one of its large mowers as a cost saving initiative. A thorough evaluation has confirmed that it would be more cost effective not to replace one of the large mowers and instead, reassign the staff member involved in this specific task to assist with other priority tasks. The costs to outsource this work are comparable to the annual cost of just the lawn mower, not including staff time. 1151 2 b) Desired Outcome: To ensure the provision of municipal mowing services in a cost effective manner. c) Strategic Alignment This initiative is consistent with the City’s business planning expectations to look for opportunities to be more efficient and effective in day-to-day operations. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: There is no customer service implications anticipated and the mowing will be completed with the same frequency as it was prior to this change. e) Business Plan/Financial Implications: There are no financial implications anticipated as staff will be reassigned to other parks maintenance tasks. This contract will be re-evaluated again in 2017 when it is anticipated that Pitt Meadows sites will be removed from the contract. f) Alternatives: The City could replace the mower at the end if it’s useful life, which is now. Staff does not recommend this because the significant savings will support the future operating model for a Maple Ridge Parks and Facilities Department, without incurring a negative impact on either services to the community or the staffing compliment. CONCLUSIONS: The review of equipment replacements and the provision of services to our residents have in this case provided a very positive outcome regarding cost savings in mowing services that assisted in developing an exit strategy from the current Joint Leisure Services Agreement. This will allow us to continue to provide cost effective mowing, trimming and other park maintenance services within the planned City of Maple Ridge operating budget. “Original signed by Wendy McCormick for” Prepared by: David Boag Director, Parks and Facilities “Original signed by Trevor Thompson” Reviewed by: Trevor Thompson Manager, Financial Planning “Original signed by Kelly Swift” Approved by: Kelly Swift General Manager, Community Development, Parks and Recreation Services “Original signed by Ted Swabey” Concurrence: E.C.

The purpose of the session was to discuss two topics: 1) the airport in order to achieve a strategy for alignment with governance expectations for the Society and 2) parks and recreation services to achieve effective transition of the service. From this session the following three follow-ups action were provided for the CAO’s to facilitate. RECOMMENDATION(S): This report is submitted for information only. DISCUSSION: a)Background Context: WORKING TOGETHER SESSION NEXT STEPS Following the facilitated session Dr. McIntosh submitted a session overview and identified five follow up actions (Attachment A). Following is an update on the five actions identified: 1.The Mayor’s issue a ‘Working Together’ Session media release. The media release was jointly distributed on March 2, 2016 (Attachment B). 2.The municipal Council’s use the “Cooperation Checklist” at the start of the joint sessions – at next joint session. The check-in tool is intended to help the parties address arising mattes that might affect cooperation efforts. It could be further developed as a protocol to guide communication, coordination, collaboration and conflict resolution efforts. The ‘Cooperation Checklist’ is included (Attachment C). The checklist will be included on the agenda for the proposed May 9, 2016 joint session. 3.That the CAO’s propose a regular administrative reporting and joint quarterly elected official session schedule for the parks and recreation service agreement termination process (and 1171 perhaps for a period afterward as well) by April, 2016. The report is to keep the municipal partners informed of activities and progress while the quarterly sessions ensure political alignment on policy directions required of administration. A quarterly schedule has been drafted for the routine meeting of the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows Councils (Attachment D). May 9, 2016 from 6:00 pm -8:00 pm is planned as the first of these quarterly sessions. The CAO’s will routinely report to their respective Council’s with verbal updates as necessary and will submit a joint update memo prior to the quarterly meetings to keep both Council’s apprised of actions identified for follow up or further discussion. 4. That the CAO’s assess and propose options to ensure Board quorum for the Airport Society by April, 2016. This action is in anticipation of the upcoming urgent need to make appointments at the 2016 Annual General Meeting (AGM). 5. That the CAO’s propose a process for Councils to create and adopt a mutually shared vision for the Airport by June, 2016. The idea discussed was a Forum including airport resource people and the Society Chair, lead by a facilitator, and preceded by a joint Council-orientation session (before or at the start of the Forum) about the current operation, legislative context and Society constitution. CONCLUSION: The CAO’s are suggesting a three session process to create and adopt a mutually shared vision for the airport. The three proposed sessions as stated above are Education, Visioning and Governance. The first of these sessions, education, is planned to occur as part of the joint session scheduled for May 9, 2016.
