With Youth Week fast approaching from May 1st through 7th, the enclosed media kit provides background information on BC Youth Week, and a preview of some of the many exciting events inspired by youth that will be taking place in communities across BC. Youth Week is an internationally celebrated event that aims to recognize the positive contributions youth make in communities, and to celebrate the valuable work youth and youth organizations do all year round. Since its inception in 1995, Youth Week has grown to include over 30 municipalities in BC, and is active in several countries around the world. The Regional Youth Week Committee coordinates the logistics of Youth Week in BC; however the youth themselves plan the actual events that take place in each municipality. This is a very unique aspect of Youth Week, as one of BC Youth Week's goals is to encourage youth to take an active role in their education, recreation, and personal development. We would be pleased to conduct an interview or provide you with more information about Youth Week. In addition, we would be very happy to host you at any of our events to provide interview and photo opportunities for our website as well as our Facebook Fan Page. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or would like more information. Sincerely, Samantha Jones Marketing Consultant 604.719.5688 bcywconsultant@gmail.com

Youth Week is a provincial celebration of youth held annually during the first week of May. It is a week of fun, interaction, and celebration intended to build a strong connection between young people and their communities and to profile the issues, accomplishments, and diversity of youth across the province. In 1995, a small group of local municipal planners and youth recreation leaders in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia stumbled across an idea they thought might be an "interesting little project." At first, discussions revolved around the idea of organizing a Youth Day. However, this was not big enough for the ambitious group, so they decided to make it an entire week. Thus Youth Week was born. It began with a small handful of municipalities launching a new and exciting initiative to promote partnerships with youth, adults, businesses, government, schools and the media - A Celebration of Youth. More than ten years later, Youth Week has become an international celebration to promote awareness of youth. It is an opportunity for people around the world to learn about, and from, the youth of their community. During May 1st to 7th, youth in BC will embrace the spirit of Youth Week by participating in activities and events organized by youth for youth, while honoring and celebrating their diversity and their many contributions in their communities. Youth Week events have included youth award ceremonies, advocacy campaigns, service projects, entertainment events, sporting competitions, educational forums, and other events to showcase, educate and empower youth in our communities. More information, including a sample of the activities that take place during BC Youth Week, can be found at www.bcyouthweek.com . Wherever Youth Week is celebrated, the idea behind it is the same: Young people are important and need to be recognized in a constructive and positive manner. Their contributions need to be acknowledged and celebrated. Mark your calendar and support youth in your community!

UBCM members will recall that on March 26, 2010, we circulated a member notice announcing Local Government Awareness Week in BC from May 16- 22, 2010. We are pleased to be working in partnership with Civicl.nfo BC, the Local Government Management Association, Ministry of Community and Rural Development, and Ministry of Education on this important initiative. The goal for this week is to generate awareness and educate the public about the roles and responsibilities of local government, and encourage the public to participate in local government processes, including voting in local elections, One of the key departments for any local government is public works. These departments within local governments provide and maintain the services and infrastructure that are integral to every community. For this reason, TJBCM was pleased to support a request from the Public Works Association of BC to encourage local governments to also proclaim and promote National Public Works Week, that same week of May 16-22. By working together we can promote and encourage the citizens within our communities to learn more about local government, the services and that they provide and how important local governments are in their day -to-day activities. Please find attached a copy of the letter from PWABC seeking your support, We would ask that when your council or board is putting forward its proclamation related to Local Government Awareness Week, please consider including the PWABC's proclamation request as well. Thank you in advance for your support and we look forward to hearing about the many wonderful initiatives that have taken place throughout BC during this very important week And just to remind members, the Local Government Awareness website will be up shortly, but if you wish further information about activities and events you can plan to celebrate the week, please contact: Marylyn Chiang at inchiang@ubcin.ca.

Re: National Public Works Week May 16.22, 2010 — "Above, Below and All Around you"
,
The Public Works Association of British Columbia (PWABC) is seeking your support to recognize and promote National Public Works Week (NPWW) by acknowledging May 16-22, 2010 as National Public Works Week in your community. This year's theme is called ',Above, Below end
All Around You
4,
National Public Works Week is observed each year during the third full week of May and was instituted as a public education campaign by the American Public Works Association (APWA) in 1960. NPWW calls attention to the importance of public works in community life and seeks to acknowledge the efforts of tens of thousands of men and women in North America who provide and maintain civil infrastructure and services. NPWW also allows Councils remind the public of the 24/7 services that they are responsible for and are proud of, and many make this an annual celebration in their communities. The APWA encourages public works agencies and professionals to take the opportunity to celebrate the week by parades, displays of public works equipment, high school essay contests, open houses, programs for civic organizations and media events. The occasion is marked each year with scores of resolutions and proclamations from mayors and governors and raises the public's awareness of public works issues and increases confidence in public works agencies like yours who are dedicated to improving the quality of life for present and future generations. For your convenience, I have attached a sample Council proclamation that you may consider using. You may wish to go to www.apwa.net/About/npww/ for information about this year's theme and resources on making your Public Works Week a success. If you have any further questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact either of us via email/phone at drichardsecthsystemszom 6D4-999-1470 or david.sparaneseesaanich.ca 250475-5599 local 3324.

FALUN DAFA Truthfulness • bencvn'icnce • Forbearance
To Mayor and Council: Re:Request for a Proclamation/Greeting Letter to Celebrate Falun Dafa Month
May 13, 2010 is the 18 th anniversary of the introduction of Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) to the public and will be celebrated by practitioners and supporters in over 100 countries worldwide. Festivities and celebration activities will be held across Canada in May to mark this wondrous time. As practitioners across Canada gather in various cities and municipalities to celebrate the anniversary, we would like to request a proclamation or a greeting letter from you to celebrate this day together with Falun Gong practitioners' families and friends. A traditional Qigong exercise based on ancient Chinese values, Falun Dafa emphasizes the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance in every practitioner's lives. It comprises a set of 5 gentle, tranquil exercises through which, one is able to attain spiritual enlightenment and a healthy body, mind, and spirit. More than 100 million practitioners all over the world have benefited tremendously through Falun Dafa. Moreover, all its activities and classes are open to the public and free of charge. Since its introduction to the public on May 13 th , 1992 by its founder, Mr. Li Hongzhi, Falun Dafa has received worldwide recognition for its concerted efforts to promote harmony, tolerance and compassion in society. During the past years, Falun Dafa month has been celebrated and received thousands of awards and proclamations, acknowledging it for the benefits, both spiritual and physical, that it has provided to its practitioners as well as the society as a whole. Even though an unjustified nation-wide state-led persecution against Falun Dafa was launched in China on July 20 th, 1999 by the former Chinese president Jiang Zemin, its popularity has not only remain undiminished, but instead, popularized all over the world. The righteous deeds, committed by Falun Dafa practitioners in China in their efforts to oppose the persecution and clarify the truth to propaganda-deceived Chinese people and people outside China, is a worthy cause for humanity to once again, value its morality and human virtues in the face of a brutal persecution. Falun Dafa practitioners across the world have walked a truly moral, righteous and honourable path, having won the wide recognition, support, award and proclamation from all over the world.
22
Together, we will commemorate this historical era of millions of Falun Dafa practitioners' righteous deeds and once again, acknowledge Falun Dafa for its benefits that it has not only brought to individuals, societies, but to the entire world. We are looking forward to hearing back from you. Sincerely,
Joy Wang on behalf of BC Falun Dafa Association Phone: 250-859-2388 Email. joyw@safe-mail.net

Thermally Modified Wood
hen wood is exposed to high temperature, its chemical structure is modified. For a number of years, research has been conducted on the effects of such modifications on the physical and mechanical properties of wood products. Several thermal modification techniques have been developed, and a number of related patents have been issued. Thermally modified wood is becoming a factor on European markets, and the purpose of this Technote is to answer the most frequently asked questions regarding this technology and resulting products. What is the difference between thermally modified wood and heat-treated wood?
"Heat treatment" (FIT-KD) has been used to describe the wood pasteurization process, particularly in the context of exports requirements for lumber and pallets. To avoid any confusion, "thermal modification" is meant to describe the use of heat to modify the chemical structure of wood as well as other properties. What is the temperature used to thermally modify wood?
The processing temperature is between 180 and 280째C, i.e. somewhere between high-temperature drying and torrefaction levels. To prevent wood combustion, the process takes place in the absence of oxygen.

28 How does the thermal treatment affect the wood structure?
The thermal process modifies the three major constituents of wood: cellulose, lignin, and hemicelluloses. Modification of cellulose and lignin causes changes to the mechanical properties of wood. Degradation of hemicelluloses causes changes to the physical properties (hygroscopic behaviour). How does thermal modification affect wood properties?
Thermal modification affects most of the physical and mechanical properties of wood. The properties most significantly modified are as follows: Colour The process modifies the natural colour of the wood, typically turning it to tobacco brown, although this will vary with processing temperatures. The new colour is uniform throughout the thickness. Thus, thermal modification can be used to impart the appearance of a high-value wood species (e.g. cherry, teak, walnut) to a low-value species. The treatment can also mask blue stain defects. Dimensional stability
Hemicellulose degradation changes the hygroscopic behaviour of wood. Moisture absorption is reduced, and any water penetrating into the wood evaporates quickly, as it does not become adsorbed; this contributes to enhancing dimensional stability as well as fungal resistance. Fungal resistance
Wood degrading fungi require very specific conditions; for example, the material's moisture content must be around 20%. If the wood is too dry or too wet, white rot and brown rot fungi cannot grow. As a result of heat-induced changes to hygroscopic properties, conditions favourable to fungal growth rarely occur, so that wood resistance to fungal attack is enhanced. It is worth noting, however, that ground contact will create conditions favourable to fungal development, even in thermally modified wood. Thermally treated wood exposed to ground contact will in fact deteriorate just as rapidly as untreated wood. Mechanical properties
Thermal modification affects the crystalline structure of cellulose, with resulting changes to mechanical properties. Although treated wood tends to be more brittle, this need not interfere with most appearance applications such as wall siding, patio or garden furniture. Based on current knowledge, the use of thermally modified wood in structural applications is unadvisable.

29 It should be kept in mind that thermally modified wood is a new material. It needs to be applied accordingly, which involves adjustments to working methods. For example, thermally modified wood is easy to machine, but the processing residue is a fine dust; friction of such dust in conventional collection systems may cause a fire unless dust-collection conduits are grounded. Strength reductions must be taken into account in the design of furniture. Thermally treated wood is also more acidic, and metal fasteners used in assemblies should be made 'of galvanized or stainless steel. What factors, other than process parameters, affect treatment results? Thermal treatment results are affected by the following three factors: Species
Heat-induced modifications to physical and mechanical properties vary from one species to another. moisture content High initial moisture content tends to delay the effects of thermal treatment on wood properties. Initial wood
« Thermally modified wood is a new material. It has distinct properties and uses must be adapted accordingly.
Lumber thickness
Wood product thickness affects the time required to achieve the desired modifications. Can thermal treatment replace chromated-copper arsenate (CCA) treatment? Thermally treated wood can be used as a substitute to CCA (chromated copper arsenate) treated wood in some applications, provided they are non-structural and not in contact with the ground.

What are the current thermal modification processes? Five processes have reached the industrial stage: • Bois Perdure (Quebec, Canada) • NOW (New Option Wood, France) • Thermowood (Finland) • Plato Wood (Netherlands) • Menz Holz (Germany) One specific feature of the Menz Holz process is that it uses vegetable oil as the heat transfer medium.
30 What is the next development step for thermally modified wood?
To facilitate market acceptance of thermally modified wood, we need to complete the assessment of treated wood properties. R&D efforts will focus on quality control and product certification. Conclusion
Thermally modified wood is a new material whose properties differ from those of regular wood. The colour of the wood is modified. Dimensional stability and resistance to fungal degradation are enhanced, but mechanical performance is reduced. With careful selection of applications where the treatment is beneficial, value can be added to some underutilized species, and the performance of final products improved. With garden furniture, hardwood flooring or siding, the potential is almost endless.

Metro Vancouver Solid Waste Management Plan Consultation
Background
As with the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD), Metro Vancouver (MV) is required to develop a solid waste management plan (SWMP) which sets out a framework for managing MV's municipal solid waste, usually over a 5 year time period. The SWMP is required to be approved by the Minister of Environment. Metro Vancouver has released a draft SWMP and has set open house public consultation sessions for a variety of communities both in the FVRD and MV. The draft plan is available at the following website: http://www.metrovancouverorg/services/solidwaste/planning/SWMP 째/020Docs/Draft1SWRMRpdf. Open house sessions are listed at: http://www.metrovancouverorq/servicesisolidwaste/planning/Paqes/defaultaspx . The Maple Ridge and Chilliwack sessions are on May 6 and June 16, respectively, with an open house from 6-7PM, public input from 7-10PM and questions and answers from 10-10:30PM. The Abbotsford session is on May 15 from 12-4:30PM at the Christian Life Community Church, Creekside Centre 35131 Straiton Road. The draft SWMP sets out goals, actions and strategies to manage solid waste. The draft MV SWMP identifies four goals: Goal 1: Minimize waste generation Goal 2: Maximize reuse, recycling and material recovery Goal 3: Recover energy from the waste stream after material recycling Goal 4: Dispose of all remaining waste in landfill, after material recycling and energy recovery Over the last two years, there has been a great deal of discussion regarding solid waste management in MV due to the impending closure of the Cache Creek landfill. Currently, approximately half of MV's solid waste is disposed at the Cache Creek landfill while a quarter is disposed of through incineration and energy recovery at the Burnaby facility and the remaining quarter is disposed of at the Vancouver landfill in Delta. As per the third goal above, MV has been aggressively promoting the use of waste to energy facilities to recover energy from residual waste incineration. This has resulted in significant concerns from a variety of stakeholders, most noticeably the FVRD, who have concerns regarding the impacts to air quality in the Fraser Valley's sensitive airshed. Several resolutions were passed by the FVRD Board on March 23, 2010 regarding MV's draft SWMP and their proposed consultation process. The FVRD is not supportive of the current consultation process, particularly for those sessions within FVRD communities as they have not had any input into the sessions. The FVRD Board has requested the consultation sessions include information to the public on Page 1 of 2

the range of scientific opinions regarding incineration and energy recovery facilities and their potential impacts. This request was based on the FVRD Board's commissioned report, authored by UBC professor and expert in air quality Ian McKendry, which determined that new sources of air pollution within the Fraser Valley will likely have a deleterious effect on air quality. The McKendry report and other information is available at: http://www.fvrd.bc.ca/services/airquality/Pages/defaultaspx. Staff will be attending one of the upcoming public consultation sessions and will report back to Council on the session and present their view on the draft SWMP along with any recommendations regarding a response from Council to MV.

Background Information Re: Use of Gaming Funds
At the regular meeting of council held on April 6, 2010, staff were asked to look for any council motion or comments regarding the use of provincial gaming funds. There was a separate resolution to "provide a report with recommendations and options for a policy for the use of gaming funds". This memo does not address that direction; it serves only as additional information for council. On December 14, 2009 council adopted "District of Mission Gaming Reserve Fund Establishment Bylaw 5080-2009". This bylaw states that the monies in the gaming reserve fund shall be used for any municipal purpose approved by the council of the District of Mission, including any associated debt repayment. A copy of the bylaw is attached for reference. The only other specific mention of the use of gaming funds staff could find was at the public budget consultation session held on April 6, 2009, where the director of finance stated that gaming funds are specifically targeted for one-time projects that are benefitting the community, and social development/restorative resolutions (not operating expenses). An excerpt from the minutes of that meeting is attached for reference.

the community, such as a private police force and/or paid full time firefighters (e) all small items can add up to become big items, so things like road sweeping on a country road is pointless George Evens: (a)
advises council to consider forming a citizens advisory group for all tough decisions
(b)
the first three years of the CUPE agreement are matching other municipalities, however in the 4th and 5th year we are setting a benchmark for when the other municipalities are now negotiating their 1st and 2nd years
(c)
there is a concern with all the matching funds grants, in that we still must come up with some of the funding and have to look to the public to pay for it through increased taxes
(d)
a fair amount of this money is coming from gaming revenues, and is it right to expect gaming revenues to continue to increase in tougher economic times?
(e)
the $573,000 matching funds for the trail around Heritage Park should be deferred to another year because we could use those funds to help offset these tax increases
(f)
if gaming revenues go down are we then responsible to fund the shortfall of the gaming revenues going into the Spirit Square or the Heritage trails?
(g)
if we are not getting the expected amount of gaming revenues, how will we come up with these matching funds?
(h)
it may be more practical to only take $80,000 of the $322,00 marked for the animal shelter and give it to the Humane Society
(i)
why is there no provision in the budget for the seniors?
Mayor Atebe responded that the seniors' improvements for the PLAY station is one of the items that will be discussed at the April 14 th public budget meeting.
sâ– A
The director of finance responded that gaming revenues from the casino have been steadily going up, and we are now projecting up to $600,000 per year and things do not appear to be slowing down. Those funds are specifically targeted for one-time projects that are benefitting the community, and social development/restorative resolutions (not operating expenses). Councillor Scudder stated that during the series of budget meetings that had taken place so far, all of council had examined each item and tried to balance what needed to be done, and what everyone wanted to have done. At the start of the process the increased was more in the area of 9% taking into account everything that everyone wanted. It was a complex process with a lot of information over a lot of meetings, and many tough decisions had to be made. All of council is listening, and the decisions that have been made are not necessarily unanimous, but are responsible group decisions. Fred Reynolds: (a) we all pay taxes through disposable income, and every time taxes are raised it takes money out of people's spending power, which makes it harder to spend that money in Mission because you need to go to big box stores to get lower

Background Information Re: Senior Government Funding Cuts
At the regular meeting of council held on April 6, 2010, staff were asked to look for any council motion or comments in the last six months regarding funding cuts and/or downloading of services from senior levels of government. Consultations and searches amongst various staff members have found no specific direction or resolution, although the issue has been discussed at a few of the administration and finance committee meetings. The only somewhat related documentation staff could find were three letters from the office of the mayor, which are attached for information.

OFFICE OF THE MAYOR September 3, 2009 Randy Kamp, MP 22720 Lougheed Hwy Maple Ridge, BC V2X 2V6 Dear Randy: Re: Communities Component Program Funding
Randy, as a follow-up to our conversation on Wednesday, I thought I would put together a review of the monies allocated to the Communities Component Program within the Building Canada Fund. According to the 2009 federal budget and then the recent provincial budget, there has been, in total, $364 million allocated to the Communities Component Program with 50-50 split from the federal government and provincial government. Based on the $364 million just within this Communities Component Program, Mission, in a nominal sense, usually receives approximately 1% of any provincial programs, which translates to $3.6 million. To date, we have not seen a funding from the Communities Component Program. As a note, I am getting questions from residents about whether the district has received funds under the new infrastructure programs and am getting concerned as to whether Mission will be left behind in terms of the Communities Component Program. I do realize that some funding has gone to Local Motion and highways, however, this is through the Infrastructure Stimulus Fund, which is separate and apart in the federal budget from the Communities Component. I am respectfully requesting that serious consideration be given to an allocation for the District of Mission representing its population ratio within the province as we have serious infrastructure needs as noted in my conversations in the past. We have submitted four applications to the Communities Component Funding Program. Mark Strahl in your office has the details on our submissions. I hope this follow-up helps crystallize my concerns about the lack of funding flowing through to the District of Mission and I look forward to a positive process to realize the Communities Component Funding in the District of Mission.

Honourable Kash Heed Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General PO Box 9053 Stn. Prov Govt Victoria BC V8W 9E2 Dear Minister Heed: Re: User Fee Police Records Information Management Environment of British Columbia (PRIME-BC) The District of Mission council appreciates the significance of the PRIME-BC initiative in providing an information system that integrates the British Columbian police force. Council further understands the significant cost to develop and sustained this infrastructure and believes how this envied resource benefits citizens across the Province. Our Council takes issues with the lack of consultation and is greatly concerned that no opportunity was provided for Local Government input regarding the increase. Municipalities are given no choice but to accept the burden of doubling this annual operating cost which will impact the Mission detachment significantly. We strongly believe that the current protocol of downloading as opposed to cost sharing is unacceptable. Council encourages your ministry to revisit the need for this significant user increase but more importantly, evaluate ways to which the partnership relationship with municipalities across the province can be improved.

Funding for dike protection works
Members of the District of Mission Council and I had an opportunity to meet with Minister Heed at this year's Union of British Columbia Municipalities Convention held in Vancouver. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss opportunities to obtain funding for dike protection works. While the District was fortunate to receive funds over the last several years, our application was not successful for the 2009-2010 Flood Protection Program. Minister Heed indicated that it might be possible for the District to obtain unspent funds that are returned to the Ministry when successful projects are completed under budget as was the case in Mission this past year. In an effort to protect the District's main commercial area, the District would like to complete the project originally applied for. The District believes that it could be completed in a timely fashion and would not be dependent on approvals from environmental agencies. I am respectfully requesting that you consider funding this project should under spent funds be returned to your office. Thank you for considering this request. Please contact Rick Bomhof, Director of Engineering and Public Works at 604-820-3739 should you have any questions. Yours truly,

From: FCM President/ President de la FCM [mailto:PresidentŠfcm.ca ] Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2010 9:24 AM To: Tracey Takahashi Subject: FCM's Rights-of-Way Outreach Campaign -- Invitation from the President
Dear Mayor Atebe, I am writing to draw your attention to an issue involving telecommunications companies that could be costing your municipality tens of thousands of dollars or more a year, and to share with you a set of tools and resources that FCM has developed for our members so that you know your rights and can reduce your costs. Across Canada, telecommunications companies are free to dig up municipal streets and roads to install and upgrade their cable and equipment, without having to pay the full cost of either repairing the damage or using public property. That's the result of a federal regulatory regime that favours forprofit telecommunications companies over municipal property tax payers. A 2008 FCM study found that municipal property tax payers subsidize telecommunications companies by more than $107 million per year. Now, with the federal government contemplating increased foreign ownership in the telecom industry, municipalities should expect even more companies demanding access to municipal property. Our one advantage is a 2009 CRTC decision in favour of the City of Vancouver (MTS Allstream v. Vancouver), which set a precedent all municipalities can use in negotiating with telecoms. We want you and your council to know your rights when it comes to negotiating right-of-way access with telecom companies. That's why FCM is launching the Know Your Rights campaign this week in Vancouver. We want to mobilize members and pressure the federal government by creating a municipal community around the rights-of-way (ROW) issue. The campaign will use the Internet and new social media tools to create an online forum, where municipal officials can come together, share information, and develop strategies and tactics. Our new Know Your Rights website (www.knowvourrights.fcm.ca ) will allow you and your staff to meet with colleagues across the country to discuss how to deal with ROW issues and negotiations. I would urge you to appoint a member of municipal staff with responsibility for this issue to sign up and participate in the community (instructions below). I also invite you and members of your council to visit the rights-of-way website (www.knowvourrights.fcm.ca ), register as a member, and participate. Only by working together can municipal governments equip themselves to deal with large, wellfunded telecommunications companies on an equal footing. 1
50 I would also like to take this opportunity to invite you to participate in our first live webcast on the rights-of-way issue, May 28, 2010, from the FCM annual conference in Toronto. Check the rights-ofway website for the time and how to participate. And if you plan to attend the conference in Toronto, please join us Friday, May 28, for the panel discussion. Sincerely, Basil L. Stewart President of FCM Mayor, City of Summerside Prince Edward Island Canada INSTRUCTIONS: How to become a member of the FCM " Know your Rights" campaign website
We created this site to help you deal with an issue that concerns all local governments: telecommunications companies using municipal rights-of-way. There are really two websites—one for the public and one for members of the rights-of-way community. Anyone who logs into www.knowyourrights.fcm.ca is taken to the home page of the public website. The public site is open to everyone and provides an overview of the issue, recent developments, and some of the key documents. For community members, this is where you log in to the community site. The first time you visit, select "Create new account". This takes you to the registration form, with "Create new account" already selected. Fill out this form – the items marked with a red asterisk are required. When you're done, click the "create new account" button at the bottom of the screen. If you've missed a required field, you will see a reminder at the top of the screen. Once you've successfully completed the registration process, you will receive an automated email acknowledging your application. FCM's Community Manager, who oversees the community and manages activity on the site, reviews each application. Once you are accepted as a member, you will receive another email with a password. To protect the security of the site, keep this password confidential and do not share it with anyone. If you lose or forget your password, you can request another one on the site. Once you have your password, log in using the user name you selected when you registered and your password. This takes you to the home page of the community site. Notice that anywhere on the site, you can switch to either the English or French version. Although the site interface is provided in both official languages, members may communicate in the language of their choice on either side of the site. This means member communication may not be identical on both sides of the community site. 2

Request for Extension - Rezoning Application R05-004 (Brar) — 30367 Berg Avenue
Recommendation
That Council grant a 12-month extension to Rezoning Application R05-004 (Brar) for the property located at 30367 Berg Avenue to enable the applicant to complete the outstanding rezoning requirements. Background
This rezoning application was considered by Council for the purpose of rezoning property located at 30367 Berg Avenue (Map 1) to accommodate a four lot subdivision. The proposal was considered at Public Hearing on November 26, 2007, and was subsequently given 3 rd reading on March 3, 2008. Applicants are given 12 months from reading to complete outstanding zoning requirements. It is noted that a previous extension was previously applied for and approved in 2009. The applicant has recently provided information to staff pertaining to the engineering works and has met with staff regarding proceeding with this proposal. The applicant has applied and paid for this rezoning extension and is now actively working with staff to complete all other outstanding rezoning requirements. The applicant has also applied for a subdivision application extension and wants to complete this development before the end of the year.

Request for new resolution — Mission Snipers Pool Hall Ltd. at 33212 1St Avenue/33211 N. Railway Avenue — Liquor Primary License Application
To:
Recommendation
That Council directs Planning Staff to submit the following resolution to the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General, Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB): "Be it resolved that: 1. Council recommends the issuance of the license for the following reasons: a. The proximity of the establishment to other social and/or recreational facilities and businesses would help create a vibrant downtown. 2. Council's comments on the prescribed considerations are as follows: a. The location of the establishment is located in the Downtown Core Commercial designation and the use is supported by the Official Community Plan; b. The proximity of the establishment to other social or recreational facilities is considered complementary for the area. c. The person capacity of 28 person and hours of liquor service of the establishment proposed to be between 12:00 noon and 1:00 am is consistent to the trying to establish a vibrant downtown; d. The number and market focus of liquor-primary license establishments within a 0.5 km radius of the proposed location is limited to two locations, the Bellevue Hotel and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks #30. The Bellevue Hotel holds two liquor-primary licenses and the BPOE#30 hold one. The Mission Snipers Pool Hall is considered to serve a different and complementary market than the other liquor primary licenses located within a 0.5 km radius of the site; e. The potential for increased noise, traffic, parking problems if the application is approved is viewed as minimal and the current zoning of the property is deemed as conforming. f. Mission is experiencing steady population growth with an average growth rate of approximately 1.78% annually. The current population is approximately 36,700 (2008 estimate) and will likely experience continued growth. Mission is a relatively young community compared to the BC Average where 42.8% of the population is between the ages of 15-44, 2.3% higher than the Provincial average. Mission need greater recreational opportunities for its residents and the demographics supports this application; PAGE 1 OF 11

g. The Liquor Control and Licensing Branch have compiled contravention statistics on the identified liquor-primary and liquorprimary - club establishments within a 0.5 km radius of the proposed location. These statistics are based on a period covering from January 2003 to present and only include proven contraventions. There are no proven contraventions. h. The impact on the community if the application is approved is seen as positive. 3. Council instructed Staff to hold a public information meeting. A mail out that included all residents, landowners, and businesses within 400 metres of the application site was used to inform the public the meeting. Approximately 10 members of the public attended the meeting and offered the following concerns: a. Alcohol may bring the wrong type of person to the area; b. The owners cannot control persons after they have left the facility after consuming alcohol; c. Alcohol does not promote the downtown in a positive way; d. There is an increased probability of drinking and driving in the area; e. Children attend facilities in the immediate vicinity of the pool hall; and f. General concerns about loitering and the potential for aggressive behavior. The owners offered the following response: a. If necessary, the owners/applicants would be willing to hire a security company to monitor the loitering and any negative outcomes associated with the consumption of alcohol; b. Smoking is not dependent on the consumption of alcohol; c. Loitering as a result of smoking can in part be addressed by the security the applicant is willing to hire; d. A liquor license would contribute to a business which will potentially otherwise have to close down; and e. Comments regarding the nature of the clientele are stereotypes. Council has considered all of the above issues and concerns within their deliberation of the resolution 4. Council also received and considered all written submissions including letters and petitions. A summary of all written submissions is as follows: a. Petition FOR from users: b. Petition FOR from business: c. Letters FOR: d. Petition AGAINST: e. Letters AGAINST:

are within the 400 metre radius of the application, but considered all submission in their resolution. 5. Additionally, Mission's Downtown Business Association was given an opportunity to speak directly to Council at a Public Meeting held January 18, 2010 for which the following was noted: "Ms. Kathy Mackovick appeared before council on behalf of the Mission Downtown Business Association (DBA) to ask that a decision regarding the liquor license application of Mission Snipers Pool Hall Ltd, be deferred until further opinions could be obtained from other DBA members. In response to questions from council, the deputy director of planning stated: (a) there is a District policy governing all applications to the Liquor Control Board that sets out the due process (b) that due process includes a mail-out to all properties within 400 metres of the subject property, the holding of a public information meeting, and the collection of opinions both for and against via mail, email or telephone; (c) the letter sent out by the District did invite responses/comments Mayor Atebe thanked Ms. Mackovick for the information and advised that a report regarding the application was on the agenda for council consideration." Council has considered the above request in their deliberation of the resolution. Follow - Up
The District of Mission is in receipt of a letter dated March 31, 2010 from the Ministry of Housing and Social Development - Liquor Control and Licensing Branch, Schedule 1, requesting a revised or new resolution of Council regarding Mission Snipers Pool Hall liquor application. A revision to Council Policy LIC.15 - Liquor Licensing Procedures Policy will follow. Background
The Mission Snipers Pool Hall is proposing to construct a 35.7 square meter (384 square foot) seating lounge within the existing Pool Hall located at 33212 1 st Avenue/33211 N. Railway Avenue (Map 1). The facility previously had a liquor license under the prior ownership, but the license was not renewed. The proposed liquor license would allow the sale of alcohol to 29 persons in a detached area (Plan 1). In accordance with the District of Mission's Liquor Licensing Procedures Policy LIC.15, referrals have been made to the District of Mission's Economic Development Department and the local RCMP and a public information meeting was held at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, December 9, 2009 at Municipal Hall Comments from the RCMP Fire Department, Inspection Services and the Manager of Economic Development are attached as Appendix B.

Summary of Meeting Present at the meeting were the owners of the Mission Snipers Pool Hall (Cesar Morales and Mirna Guevara), and the planner (Ryan Anderson). Additionally, approximately 10 members of the community attended the meeting, not all of whom signed in on the available sign-in sheet. There were several concerns raised by the community members in attendance. Those concerns can be summarized as follows: •
Alcohol may bring the wrong type of person to the area;
•
The owners cannot control persons after they have left the facility after consuming alcohol;
•
Alcohol does not promote the downtown in a positive way;
•
There is an increased probability of drinking and driving in the area;
•
Children attend facilities in the immediate vicinity of the pool hall; and
•
General concerns about loitering and the potential for aggressive behaviour.
The following responses were provided by the owners/applicants and attending community members who supported the application: •
If necessary, the owners/applicants would be willing to hire a security company to monitor the loitering and any negative outcomes associated with the consumption of alcohol;
•
Smoking is not dependent on the consumption of alcohol;
•
Loitering as a result of smoking can in part be addressed by the security the applicant is willing to hire;
•
A liquor license would contribute to a business which will potentially otherwise have to close down; and
•
Comments regarding the nature of the clientele are stereotypes.
Planning Analysis The subject property is zoned Core Commercial Downtown One Zone (CCD1) and has an Official Community Plan (OCP) designation of Core Commercial. The CCD1 zone specifically has a Permitted Use of "Pool and Billiard Hall". Section 4.1 of the OCP deals specifically with "Developing the Community Core" by creating a "Strong Downtown", and points out the following: FILE: PRO.DEV.LIQ
L09-002
PAGE 4 OF 11
62
•
The downtown is very pedestrian oriented;
•
The downtown's physical environment is generally in need of upgrading;
•
There has been a high vacancy rate in the downtown core; and
•
Downtown revitalization is a key component of Mission's overall economic development efforts.
The OCP also references a 2001 Mission Downtown Retail Market Study. The study identified that there should be a focus on "creating a merchandising mix that provides either a unique or complimentary shopping experience". From a planning perspective, downtown areas need vitality to be healthy. This vitality must be achieved not only during regular business hours (9:00am - 5:00pm), but must extend into the evening. By having businesses in this area willing to open their doors for longer hours, more people will be drawn to the area creating a more vibrant, alive precinct. This activity, in turn, generates more "eyes on the street" and ultimately a safer environment. Dark, empty streets where businesses are closed generate more fear for those that do venture into the area. Additionally, many of the concerns residents raised regarding the issuance of a liquor licence are issues that are not connected to the Mission Snipers Poll Hall directly. Issues such as drinking and driving, prostitution, unsavoury people and smoking are all greater social issues dealt with at different levels. Restaurants are permitted to serve alcohol, don't allow smoking inside, yet we don't oppose their applications. For the above rationale, and because other staff generally had no concerns, and the owners petitioned 23 local businesses for their support, and the owners willingness to work with their neighbours to address concerns, the Planning Department is recommending that Council endorse the application. Process
For applications of this nature the LCLB requires a resolution from the local government commenting on the application. Two options are available to the local government in response to this application and forms part of Staff's recommendation: 1. Provide "No comment" — a resolution indicating this decision must be provided to the branch; or 2. Provide a complete resolution to the branch, as recommended.

COLUMBIA 'Foe Nen Mgr on basal
March 31, 2010 Mr. Dennis Clark Director of Corporate Administration District of Mission 8645 Stave Lake Street, PO Box 20 Mission EC V2V 4L9
Dear Mr. Clark: Re: Liquor Primary licence application for Mission Snipers Pool Hall Mission Snipers Pool Hall Ltd, has applied to the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB) for a liquor primary licence at 33212 1 st Avenue in Mission. On October 5, 2009, LCLB requested that the District of Mission Council consider the application and provide a resolution with their comments and recommendation. Council submitted a resolution dated January 20, 2010 commenting on the application, Unfortunately, the resolution does not fully address LCLB requirements. The Liquor Control and Licensing Act and Regulations are very specific regarding the criteria that local governments must take into account and comment on. As these are regulatory requirements, LCLB does not have flexibility to consider a resolution that does not meet the criteria. On February 8, 2010, LCLB sent a letter to Mr. Ryan Anderson outlining additional information required to meet LCLB requirements. Mr. Anderson provided information regarding some of the regulatory criteria, a copy of the report submitted to Council, and copies of all comments and petitions received. However more information is required in regards to the views of residents. LCLB regulation 10(5) requires that where the views of residents are gathered in regards to a proposed liquor primary licence, that the local government provide comment on: • the views of the residents, • the method used to gather the views of the residents, and • its comments and recommendations respecting the views of the residents. We would request that Council consider submitting an addendum to the January 20 resolution to provide this additional information, or submit a new resolution replacing the existing resolution, I have enclosed a sample resolution and sample comments that LCLB previously provided in the October 5, 2009 letter.

To ensure LCLB regulatory requirements are met, we would ask that the Council resolution comment on the following. it is also acceptable to comment on these items in an administrative staff report as long as the Council resolution references the report. • the process used to gather comment (i.e., notification, public meeting, site signage, newspaper advertisements); • which methods of input were considered by Council (were petitions considered?); • whose input was considered (i.e., only residents within a specific radius of the proposed site, or all residents of Mission? Were all e-mails and petition signatures considered, or only those from residents within a specific radius? How did Council determine the addresses of those who responded?); • the number of residents opposed to and in support of the application based on the above considerations; and • the views of residents and Council's comments and recommendations regarding those views. I recognize that it is a considerable undertaking to provide a new or amended resolution. however LCLB is unable to proceed with the application based on the existing resolution. If the District of Mission chooses not to submit a new or amended resolution, LCLB will arrange to undertake a new process to gather residents views, with all comments submitted directly to LCLB for consideration. This would involve site signage and newspaper advertisements inviting comments from residents within a specified radius. Notification materials would specify that any comments submitted in regards to the previous public input process would need to be resubmitted to be taken into consideration. Materials would also reference that it is LCLB policy not to consider petitions or form letters, In the interests of moving this application forward in a timely manner, please notify me by April 15 if Council will be submitting a new or amended resolution for this liquor primary application. If you have any questions about LCLB's regulatory requirements or any of the information in this letter, please contact me at 250-387-6542 or Theresa.Killaranambc.ca

Subject:
Development Permit Application DP10-004 (Van Roekel) — 7383 Stave Lake Street
Recommendation
That Development Permit Application DP10-004, in the name of Brian Van Roekel, to provide conformity to the Official Community Plan guidelines respecting building form and character for a proposed coach house on the property located at 7383 Stave Lake Street be forwarded to a public input meeting and considered for Council approval on May 25, 2010. Summary of Proposal
The applicant wishes to site a coach house on the rear of the subject property in accordance with Zoning and OCP bylaws. The design of the coach house must meet the intensive residential development permit area design guidelines. Background
The subject property is located at 7383 Stave Lake Street (Map 1) and is owned by District of Mission's Director of Planning Ms. Sharon Fletcher. The property is 740.8 sq. m. (7973 sq. ft.) with an existing character home sited centrally on the property. The OCP and Zoning bylaws permit the introduction of secondary dwelling options on residential properties throughout Mission. In urban areas, in order to ensure the design is in keeping with the neighbourhood, coach houses and garden cottages must meet the intensive residential development permit area design guidelines. These guidelines facilitate a high standard of building design and site compatibility of accessory dwellings while supporting affordable housing choices for residents in the urban area. Coach houses present a form of sustainable development in Mission through the economic efficiencies gained by capitalizing on existing infrastructure and at the same time offer more interesting and varied urban neighbourhoods. Proposal
The applicant wishes to site a coach house on the south-western portion of the subject property (Plan 1). The coach house will be accessed by a driveway that will provide for sufficient parking for both the coach house and existing dwelling. The proposed siting of the coach house meets all Zoning Bylaw setback, square footage, parking and height requirements. The elevations of the proposed coach house are shown on Schedule 'A'. Official Community Plan Designation
The OCP designates the property as Urban Compact/Multiple Family. The proposed coach house is in accordance with the densities envisioned for that designation. As for the intensive residential development permit area design guidelines, the following points have been achieved by the proposed coach house (see Schedule 'A'):
PAGE 1 OF 6
69
70
• • • • •
Façade colours and textures (natural wood trim with light blue vinyl siding) that are complimentary to the existing single family dwelling; Steep rooflines (10/12 pitch) that compliment the existing single family dwelling; Coach house located at the rear of the existing dwelling to appear secondary to the existing residence while providing garage space that does not front the roadway; Massing that is supplementary to the existing residence and in keeping with surrounding residential development; Element of privacy maintained with only one outdoor deck provided.
Accordingly, planning staff has determined that the proposed coach house meets the guidelines for the intensive residential development permit area. Zoning
Planning staff confirmed the height of the proposed coach house is slightly less than the height of the existing residence; therefore, the height requirement of the Zoning Bylaw has been achieved. The minimum 5 metre (16.4 feet) building separation has been achieved in addition to the square footage requirement stipulated within the Zoning Bylaw. The proposed finished floor area of the second floor is 48.8 square metres (525 sq. ft.) whereby the maximum floor space allowed is the lesser of 50% of the principal dwelling or 75 sq. m. (807 sq. ft.). Additionally, the coach house provides for sufficient parking for the existing residence and the resident of the coach house. Essentially, the proposed coach house meets all of the requirements of the Zoning Bylaw. Engineering Comments
The Engineering Department determined that accessory dwellings will be serviced from the principal dwelling; whereby, the applicant will 'T-off' from existing in-ground services present on the lot to service the coach house. In order to better manage water use, the applicant will be required to install a water meter on the existing water service to the property. The property owner will be charged additional taxes for municipal services (applicable to an additional unit) upon occupancy of the coach house. Community Amenity Contribution
In accordance with LAN. 40 "Financial Contributions for Community Amenities Policy", no amenity contribution is required. The property already has the zoning to permit the coach house and it has been determined that detached accessory dwellings do not necessitate an amenity contribution. Tree Retention / Replanting and Environmental
There are no significant trees being removed or environmentally sensitive areas being disturbed as part of the development process; therefore, there is no tree planting required as part of this development proposal. Development Requirements
The applicant must provide a deposit, determined by the Engineering Department, for the installation of the water meter. This deposit will have to be provided to the District prior to issuance of the building permit for the coach house.

Development Variance Application DV10-006 (Storteboom) - 31723 Israel Ave
Recommendation
That Development Variance Permit Application DV10-006, in the name of Storteboom, to vary District of Mission Zoning Bylaw 5050-2009 Section 501 URBAN RESIDENTIAL ZONES I. Height of Buildings 2. by: • increasing the maximum allowable height of an accessory building from 6.0 metres (19.68 ft.) to 8.0 meters (26.25 ft.) for a proposed accessory building located at 31723 Israel Avenue be forwarded to Council for public input and consideration of approval on May 25, 2010. Summary of Proposal
An application has been received from Jeff Storteboom to increase the maximum height of an accessory building in the S36 Suburban 36 zone from 6.0 meters (19.68 feet) to 8.0 meters (26.25 feet) on the property located at 31723 Israel Avenue (Map 1). The required variance is 2.0 meters (6.56 feet). Background
The property had an existing single family dwelling and a detached garage (Plan 1). The applicant initiated construction of an addition to the detached garage without a building permit. When the applicant initiated construction, he attempted to construct the addition in conformance with the requirements of Zoning Bylaw 3143-1998. However, with the adoption of the new Zoning Bylaw, the addition is over height and requires a variance to conform to the new S36 zone (Plan 2). Building permits were initiated in the past for the garage, but have not been finalized. The variance is required for the applicant to receive his building permit. Analysis of Proposal
The property is not encumbered by any watercourses or Environmentally Sensitive Areas, and the proposal conforms to the S36 zone, except for height. The applicant did initiate applying for building permits, but requires the height variance be approved prior to the building permits being issued. In sum Ty, staff recommends that the Development Variance Permit proposals proceed to ting on May 25, 2010.

Summary of Proposal
An application has been received to rezone and subdivide the property lot 9730 Barr Street (Map 1) into five (5) fee simple lots under the proposed RR7s zoning as shown on Plan 1. The proposed RR7s zone allows for a minimum parcel size of 0.7 hectares (1.73 acres). The proposed lots all meet the minimum parcel size of the proposed zone. The zone would also allow for secondary dwellings to be constructed on the proposed lots. The proposal requires a road to be constructed to provide access to the proposed lots. The proposed road would be approximately 109 meters (358 feet) in length and end in a cul-de-sac. PAGE 1 OF 11

The proposed road requires a variance to road width requirements. The proposed variance is supported by engineering staff. Background The subject site is approximately 3.612 hectares (9.6 acres), and is fronted by Richards Avenue to the north and the north-west corner fronts a portion of Barr Street. The surrounding area is rural in nature with some development which has created lots similar in size to the proposed lots. Two (2) watercourses are located in the northern portion of the subject property and another watercourse is located on a small portion of the western side of the subject property. A single family dwelling is located in the setback area of the northerly watercourse, which will be removed. Official Community Plan Designation The Official Community Plan (OCP) designation for the property is Rural Residential. The Rural Residential designation supports the proposed RR7s Zone. Policy 2.3.1 — Minimum Lots Sizes for Residential Areas indicates that the Rural Residential OCP designation will provide large lot housing choices with lot sizes that respect the rural nature of the area. Policy 2.3.3 - Secondary Dwelling Units in Rural Areas will consider site specific rezoning to provide for a secondary dwelling unit on properties that are designated Rural Residential. Zoning The minimum lot size in the RR7s zone is 0.7 hectares (1.73 acres), and the zone allows for secondary dwelling units. The proposed zoning of the property is consistent with the OCP designation for both lot size and use. The majority of the properties in the area are zoned RU16, however the RR7 zone is also represented in the local area. The proposed lots would be in keeping with the character of the surrounding neighbourhood. Analysis of Proposal The site was reviewed by Scott Resource Services in a report dated January 26, 2010. Three watercourses were identified, two are classed as red coded and the other is classed as yellow coded. The two red coded water courses are located in the northern portion of the property, and the yellow coded watercourse is located further south (see Plan 1). Section 108 of the District of Mission Zoning Bylaw requires that the two red coded watercourses necessitate a 30 meter setback area and the yellow coded water course requires a 15 meter setback. The applicant will also be providing compensation for the area inhabited by the single family dwelling which is proposed to be removed as part of the development process. The application would create five (5) lots with potential for secondary dwelling units. This could create affordable housing and/or make the proposed lots more affordable as the secondary dwelling units would act as "mortgage helpers". Community Amenity Contribution In accordance with the District of Mission's LAN 40 Land Use Policy, the applicant has agreed to provide $1,910 per single family lot for a total contribution of $7,640.

Tree Retention and Replanting As the proposed subdivision associated with the rezoning is for less than ten (10) lots, the Approving Officer is granted the authority to approve Tree Retention/Replanting Proposals. Therefore, a Tree Retention and Replanting plan will be required at the subdivision stage. Street Naming In accordance with STR. 28 Street Naming, the applicant is required to name any new roads in the District of Mission from a prescribed list of historic names from the District of Mission. As shown on Plan 4, the proposed Darbyshire Terrace will extend off Barr Street to service the proposed lots. The Street Naming Bylaw (STR 28) provides the following information about Lionel Charles Darbyshire: Darbyshire, Lionel Charles •

Parkland A referral was sent to the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department and their comments are attached as Appendix A. The applicant is aware that Parks has requested cash in lieu for the parkland requirement. However, they would prefer to provide a park on the subject property to satisfy the parkland requirement. The proposed park is attached as Plans 2 and 3. Should Council reject the proposed park, the applicant will provide cash in lieu as per the requirements of Section 941 of the Local Government Act. Internal Comments The application was referred to Engineering, Fire, and Parks. Engineering Comments are attached as Appendix B. External Referrals External referrals have been made to Telus, BC Hydro, Terasen, Shaw, Canada Post, and School District #75. Comments from the various utility agencies are applicable to the subdivision process. Development Variance Permit Application DV10-007 A variance to the road width requirements of the Subdivision Control Bylaw is required to reduce the required road width from 20.0 meters to 16.0 meters. Engineering has reviewed the proposal and supports the variance. The proposed road is partly encroaching into the ESA associated with the yellow coded water course. The variance has been reviewed by DFO and they support the road location as it minimizes potential environmental impacts.

Subject:
Rezoning Application R10-002 (Tripod Developments) — 31161 Silverhill Avenue
Recommendation
1. That, in accordance with Rezoning Application R10-002 (Tripod Developments), the Director of Corporate Administration prepare a bylaw to amend District of Mission Zoning Bylaw 5050-2009 by rezoning the property located at (31161 Silverhill Avenue) and legally described as: ■ Parcel Identifier: PID 013-338-889; Parcel "C: (Explanatory Plan 17082) South Half of the Parcel "C" (Explanatory Plan 17082) South Half of the South East Quarter Section 1, Township 15, NWD from RU16 (Rural 16 Zone) to RR7s (Rural Residential Secondary Dwelling Zone); that the bylaw be considered for 1 3, 2010; and
St
and 2 nd readings at the Regular Council meeting on May
that following such a reading, the bylaw be forwarded to a Public Hearing on May 25, 2010. 2. That the five percent parkland provision in Section 941 of the Local Government Act be applied as cash-in-lieu of parkland to subdivision file S10-001. Summary of Proposal
An application has been received from Tripod Developments to rezone the subject property (Map 1) from RU16 (Rural 16 Zone) to RR7s (Rural Residential Secondary Dwelling Zone) to facilitate a nine (9) lot subdivision while incorporating secondary dwelling units on the proposed lots. A draft plan is attached as Plan 1. Background
The subject property is approximately 8.42 hectares (20.8 acres) and fronts on Silverhill Avenue. The property slopes significantly away from Silverhill Avenue, dropping down over 90 meters (300 feet). Watercourses affect the south-east portion of the property and a small portion of the western side of the property (the watercourses are identified on Plan 1). The majority of the area is well treed, and the general neighbourhood character is comprised of similarly sized lots as those being proposed. Applications have been made historically on the property for development. The main issue affecting former applications' was the ability to provide potable water. Subsequently, the applicant has retained a hydrologist and a professional report indicates that the proposed lots can provide water in accordance with WAT 19 — Well Water Quality — Aesthetic Parameters (attached as Appendix 1) and the Canadian Drinking Water Standards.
PAGE 1 OF 7

Official Community Plan Designation
The Official Community Plan (OCP) designation for the property is Rural Residential. The Rural Residential designation supports the proposed RR7s Zone. Policy 2.3.1 — Minimum Lots Sizes for Residential Areas indicates that the Rural Residential OCP designation will provide large lot housing choices with lot sizes that respect the rural nature of the area. Policy 2.3.3 - Secondary Dwelling Units in Rural Areas will consider site specific rezoning to provide for a secondary dwelling unit on properties that are designated Rural Residential. Zoning
The minimum lot size in the RR7s zone is 0.7 hectares (1.73 acres), and the zone allows for secondary dwelling units. The proposed zoning of the property is consistent with the OCP designation for both lot size and use. The majority of the properties in the area are zoned RU16, however the RR7 zone is also represented in the local area. The proposed lots would be in keeping with the character of the surrounding neighbourhood. Analysis of Proposal
The site was reviewed by Scott Resource Services in a report dated March 11, 2010. Three watercourses were identified, but only two required protection under Section 108 of the District of Mission Consolidated Zoning Bylaw. The two significant watercourses affect the east and south-east areas of the subject property (see Plan 1). In accordance with this section of the bylaw, 30 meter setback areas were recommended at this time. The application would create nine (9) lots with potential for secondary dwelling units. This could create affordable housing and/or make the proposed lots more affordable as the secondary dwelling units would act as "mortgage helpers". Community Amenity Contribution
In accordance with Council Policy LAN 40.-FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS FOR COMMUNITY AMENITIES POLICY, the applicant has submitted a letter volunteering to contribute $1910 per single family lot, for a total amount of $17,190 payable prior to the adoption of the zone amending bylaw. Tree Retention and Replanting
In accordance with LAN. 32 — TREE RETENTION REPLANTING POLICY, the Approving Officer is granted the authority to approve Tree Retention/Replanting Proposals for developments involving the creation of ten (10) lots or less. All other proposals will be reported to and approved by Council. As this application is for less than 10 lots, the tree retention and replanting plan will be required as part of the subdivision process. Parkland
In accordance with Section 941 of the Local Government Act and Council Policy LAN.26SUBDIVISION FOR PARKLAND, subdivisions proposing three or more new lots are to be reviewed by staff with respect to parkland requirements. The application was referred to the Parks Department and the Parks Department recommended 5% cash in lieu. Since there is no Parkland designation on the subject property, staff recommends that 5% cashin-lieu of Parkland be paid as part of the subdivision process.

The planner stated that the purpose of the proposed amendment is to accommodate a suburban single-family residential development. The planner also provided information regarding District of Mission zoning amending bylaw 5005-2008-3143(317) (R08-019 — Alpa Farms Ltd.) which proposes to amend District of Mission zoning bylaw 3143-1998 for the property located at 7900 Oyama Street and legally described as:
100 Parcel Identifier: 002-397-307 Lot 7 Except: Firstly: Part Subdivided by Plan 38530 Secondly: Part Subdivided by Plan 39652 Section 19 Township 17 New Westminster District Plan 38403 from RU-1 Rural One zone and RS-1 One Unit Urban Residential zone to RS-2 One Unit Suburban Residential zone. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to accommodate the subsequent subdivision of the subject property into 22 lots of a minimum 0.36 hectare (0.88 acre) lot size. The planner further stated that purpose of the proposed development variance permit application DV08-010, in the name of Alpa Farms Ltd., is to vary District of Mission subdivision control bylaw 1500-1985 Schedule A Required Road Widths by reducing the minimum required urban local residential road width from 18.0 meters (59.055 feet) to 15.0 meters (49.21 feet). The planner stated that prior to adoption of the zone amending bylaw the following requirements would need to be met: 1.
receipt of the community amenity contribution in the amount of $38,850;
2.
building scheme covenant for form and character;
3.
a more detailed arborist's report;
4.
a letter of credit for installing and maintaining trees or confirmation of LAN.32 compliance; and
5.
engineering requirements: (a)
domestic water — extend a water main;
(b)
storm sewer — provide a stormwater outfall, extend the storm sewer main, make application to Department of Fisheries and Oceans, provide a statutory right-of-way;
(c) road works — extend and construct Oyama Street; The deputy director of corporate administration stated that the following correspondence was received regarding this application: 1.
Birgit Keys of Mission is opposed to the proposal and expressed concern about current traffic levels, the removal of trees and the impact on the environment; and
2.
Richard and Eileen Stover of Mission are opposed to the proposal and expressed concern with the removal of the trees in the area and potential problems occurring with loitering once the road is extended.
Lila Rauh, Mission, stated she is opposed to the development and had the following questions and concerns about the application: (a) What is the total acreage involved for this 22 lot development, and what would be the exact address of the said area? The planner responded the subject property is 69.9 acres; 22.4 acres of that will be for the 22 lot subdivision, and the remaining 47.5 acres will be dedicated to the District of Mission.
101
(c)
How can private owners of land have property that is designated as parks, recreation and open space?
The planner responded that the applicant's family has owned the property for a number of years, and it initially had a residential designation. The recent change to the official community plan changed that designation to parks, recreation and open space. The process of changing the designation arbitrarily selected the whole property in anticipation of utilizing a portion of the property for the trail network system. (d)
As council has shown support for other large developments such as the waterfront and Silverdale, which will bring more citizens to our community, shouldn't they should be making it a priority to preserve all lands designated as parks, recreation and open space?
(e)
Has anyone who will be making a decision on this property or is giving their advice to council about removing these lands from the parks, recreation and open space designation actually driven to or walked around the area?
Mayor Atebe responded that staff and some council had visited the property. The planner noted that staff always do site visits as part of the application process. He stated he had visited the site a number of times, accessing it both through the northern portion through the Sports Park, and the southeast portion through several of the neighbouring properties. (f)
Does council feel that this application should be refused and the area left as wild, natural open space for future residents and also to avoid the possibility of another situation such as Ptarmigan Drive?
(g)
Any small portion of the subject land adjoining the Sports Park and at the higher elevation should be held for expansion to the Sports Park to accommodate more people attending functions there in the future. It is not appropriate to use it for housing.
(h)
To remove this or any other lands from the open space designation is to refute claims of sustainability because the continual destruction of such areas not only kills natural ecosystems, but further detracts from healthy air quality.
Anthony McLean, Mission, expressed concern about developing the trail system any more than it already is, the impact of more people in this isolated wilderness area, and the inevitable increase in wildfire hazards during the dry season if the area is exposed to more people. Mr. McLean felt that if the area must be developed, that there be no access from Wren Street. Eileen Stover read her letter of concern and suggested that boulevard trees be planted along the existing properties on Guest Terrace, that there be no parking allowed along the Oyama Street extension, and that a fence be erected along the properties that border the Oyama Street extension. Jeanette Smith, Mission, stated she is opposed to the development, and posed the following questions: (a) How long has the subject property been designated as parks and open space?
102
The planner responded that this property has been designated as "parks, recreation and open space" since the inception of the last official community plan, approximately 10 years ago (not the recent plan adopted in July of last year). (b)
Can anybody apply to build on land designated as park and open space, and if so, does than mean that any park or open space designation can be altered?
The planner responded that if an individual wished to develop a property that was designated as parks, recreation and open space, they would need to go through the same procedure as the applicant here today, which is to request that the official community plan designation be amended to a designation that would support residential development. Mayor Atebe responded that the vision of past councils for this area was to have a trail system that started at the Fraser River and continued all the way up to the municipal tree farm. The only way to do that was to designate the properties along the way as park and recreational use. The individual land owners have every right to request a designation change, otherwise we would effectively just be taking their land. Part of the application before us now is to donate 47 acres of land to the District for the benefit of the community as a whole. (c)
Were all the surrounding properties on Bench, McPhail, Israel and whatever other connecting roads all notified of the development?
The planner responded that there is a prescribed area around the subject property that requires public notification, and those areas mentioned were notified. Darren Alary, appearing on behalf of the developer, stated that their own planner and civil engineer were present at this evening's meeting to answer council's questions. Hearing no further questions or comments the mayor declared the public hearing on District of Mission official community plan amending bylaw 5004-2008-4052(3), zoning amending bylaw 5005-2008-3143(317) (R08019 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Alpa Farms Ltd.) and development variance permit application DV08-010 (R08-019-Alpa Farms Ltd.) closed.

Recommendation 1. That the Director of Corporate Administration prepare a bylaw to amend District of Mission Official Community Plan Bylaw 4052-2008 by re-designating a portion of the subject property located at 7900 Oyama Street and legally described as: Parcel Identifier: 002-397-307, Lot 7 Except: Firstly: Part Subdivide by Plan 38630 and Secondly: Part Subdivided by Plan 39652, Section 19, Twp 17, NWDP 38403 from Parks Recreation and Open Space to Suburban Residential and with a portion maintaining the Parks Recreation and Open Space designation (as shown in Appendix 1). 2. That, in accordance with Rezoning Application R08-019 (Aida Farms Ltd.), the Director of Corporate Administration prepare a bylaw to amend District of Mission Zoning Bylaw 31431998 by rezoning the property located at 7900 Oyama Street and legally described as: Parcel Identifier: 002-397-307, Lot 7 Except: Firstly: Part Subdivide by Plan 38630 and Secondly: Part Subdivided by Plan 39652, Section 19, Twp 17, NWDP 38403 from RU-1 Rural One zone and RS-1 One Unit Urban Residential zone to RS-2 One Unit Suburban Residential zone (as shown in Appendix 2); that the bylaws be considered for 1 reading at the Regular Council Meeting on December 8, 2008; and that following such a reading, the bylaw be forwarded to a Public Hearing on January 26, 2009. 3.

Proposal The applicant is proposing to rezone a portion of the subject property from RU-1 and RS-.1 to RS-2 to accommodate a future twenty-two (22) lot subdivision. Further the applicant is proposing to volunteer the remainder of the lands, which form an integral portion of the Silverdale Creek Parkway, to the District of Mission. The land being volunteered is approximately 47.5 acres (19.22 hectares). The portion of each proposed lot, which is below the top of bank, and therefore part of the environmentally sensitive area (ESA), will have a restrictive covenant registered on Title as part of the subdivision process. The total area of each lot meets or exceeds the lot area requirements of the proposed RS-2 Zone (0.36 hectares or 0.88 acres). In addition, a building scheme covenant for form and character will be volunteered by the applicant to respect the built form of the surrounding neighbourhood. Site Description Silverdale Creek runs east-west in a deep valley that runs through the southern half of the property. The slope associated with the valley and the creek is significant and precludes any development potential in this area. The area is also heavily treed, and is well known as a habitat for many types of animals including birds, fish, bear and many plant species. At this time, the property can only be accessed via Oyama Street in the north. Wren Street and Silverdale Avenue border the lands in the east and south respectively, but due to the significant slopes on the subject property in these areas, neither road is suitable to provide access to the site, Neighbourhood Context The subject property is located just south of the Mission Rotary Sports Park. However, residential development predominates the area. The majority of the properties surrounding the subject property are zoned RS-2, RS-1, RS-1A and RU-1. The Mission Rotary Sports Park north of the subject property is zoned P-1. The proposed RS-2 zoning would fit well within the larger neighbourhood context (suburban residential), and the applicant has committed to producing a high end product that will work well with the larger upper-end single family dwellings and residential properties in the immediately surrounding area. Official Community Plan Designation The application is not in conformance with the Official Community Plan (OCP), and therefore will require an OCP amendment. Currently the subject property is designated "Parks Recreation and Open Space" in the OCP and is included in the Silverdale Creek Parkway Bylaw that is in place as the mechanism for acquiring the entire Silverdale Creek and Valley as a parkway. The applicant is proposing to re-designate a portion of the subject property to "Suburban Residential" to allow the appropriate rezoning and subsequent subdivision. The benefit to the community from this proposal is that it enables the municipality to acquire 47.5 acres (19.22 hectares) of the Silverdale Creek Parkway through volunteering.

Zoning
The application is to rezone the property at Lot 7, Silverdale Avenue from RU-1 and RS-1 to RS-2. The RU-1 zoning has a minimum parcel size of 1.8 hectares (4.44 acres), and the RS-1 zoning has a minimum parcel size of 558 square meters (6,006.4 square feet). The proposed RS-2 zoning has a minimum parcel size of 0.36 hectares (0.88 acres). The proposal would result in twenty-two (22) lots being created with the proposed lots being a minimum of 0.88 acres (0.36 hectares). The useable portion of the proposed lots ranges from 16,500 square feet (1,532 square meters) to 38,500 square feet (3,576 square meters). All remainder land (approximately 47.5 acres or 19.22 hectares) will be dedicated to the District of Mission as park. This park area would help continue the Silverdale Trail network system proposed in the District of Mission Parks, Trails, and Bicycle Master Plan (October 20, 2008). Section 108 Compliance
Section 108,4 (3) (d) of the District of Mission Zoning Bylaw 3143 1998 indicates that "if a stream is in a ravine that is more than 60 meters in total width from top of bank to top of bank", a 10 meter (32.8 feet) wide protection and enhancement area is required. The applicant has accommodated this requirement on the proposed plan. In addition, Staff have reviewed the environmental issues with the representative of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and have found no concerns. The Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) on each lot will be protected by a restrictive covenant. -
Variance to Subdivision Control Bylaw
A variance to Schedule A "Required Road Widths" of the District of Mission Subdivision Control Bylaw 1500-1985, reducing the minimum required Urban Local Residential Road width from 18.0 meters (59.055 feet) to 15.0 meters (49.21 feet) is required. The road standard will be based on an Alternate Road Standard for a local road developed by Urban Systems for the Silverdale/Genstar Development, The Engineering Department supports this variance as it contributes to resolving some drainage issues associated with the Mission Rotary Sports Park. In addition, the scale of the road is a better fit with the form and character of the proposed development and surrounding neighbourhood. Community Amenity
In accordance with Council Policy LAN. 40 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS FOR COMMUNITY AMENITIES POLICY, the applicant has submitted a letter volunteering to contribute $1,850 per new lot with the amount of $38,850 (twenty-one (21) new lots x $1,850) payable prior to the adoption of the zone amending bylaw. Tree Retention and Replanting
A complete tree report has not been submitted by the applicant at this time. However, a certified professional arborist has reviewed the site and estimates that there are approximately 100 to 200 trees which meet the definition of a significant tree in the District of Mission's LAN. 32 Tree Retention and Replanting Policy. These trees may be affected by the development of roads, FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON/PRODEV.DEV R08-019/DV08-010
PAGE 3 OF 19
106
building envelopes, septic requirements, and access amongst other items. The applicant intends to retain as many trees as is possible. The applicant will submit a complete arborist report in keeping with the LAN. 32 policy, prior to the Public Hearing.
Parkland Section 941 of the Local Government Act — Provision of Parkland requires that 5% of the total land area being subdivided be dedicated as parkland. However, because the majority of the land area is imperative for the Silverdale Creek Parkway, the applicant is proposing to dedicate 47.5 acres of land to the District of Mission for use as public open space. This area represents approximately 68% of the total area of the subject property. Given that a significant amount of parkland is being dedicated, Staff recommend that that 5% parkland requirement be waived. The Silverdale Creek Parkway forms an integral portion of the proposed overall trail network for the District of Mission, connecting the waterfront to all other points in the District.
Section 882 Report The applicant requires an amendment to the current OCP designation for the property. Consequently a report delineating the financial and Waste Management Act implications, as per Section 882 of the Local Government Act, will need to be completed. This report will be required prior to proceeding to Public Hearing.
Internal Comments The application was reviewed at the Development Review Committee meeting which has representation from Community Development, Engineering, Inspection Services, Fire, RCMP, and Parks and Recreation, The Engineering Department has reviewed the proposal with comments outlined in the Engineering Department Rezoning Comments attached.
External Referrals The usual referrals will be made to the various utility agencies as part of the subdivision process.

The purpose of the proposed amendment is to accommodate the subsequent subdivision of the subject property (and 32657 Lissimore Avenue currently zone RS1 F) into 8 lots of a minimum 371.97 square meter (4,004.4 sq.ft) lot size. The planner stated that the proposed development variance permit application, in the name of name of Rick Redekop Inc., is to vary Section 304.3 Lot Area. Width at Front Lot Line and Depth of District of Mission Zoning Bylaw 3143-1998 by reducing the minimum required:
123
(a)
Lot Depth from the required 30 metres (98.4 feet) to 26.901 metres (88.3 feet) on proposed Lot D;
(b)
Lot Depth from the required 30 metres (98.4 feet) to 25.034 metres (82.1 feet) on proposed Lot E;
Lot Depth from the required 30 metres (98.4 feet) to 23.108 metres (75.8 feet) on proposed Lot F;
(d)
Lot Depth from the required 30 metres (98.4 feet) to 21.009 metres (68.9 feet) on proposed Lot G;
(C
)
The planner further stated that the proposed development permit application DP09001, in the name of Rick Redekop Inc. is to provide conformity to the Official Community Plan guidelines respecting building form and character for a proposed compact single-family residential development on the property located at 32638 Cherry Avenue and 32657 Lissimore Avenue. The planner stated that prior to adoption of the zone amending bylaw the following requirements would need to be met: (a)
receipt of community amenity contribution ($1,910.00) per additional unit;
(b)
satisfying any additional requirements that may be imposed by council as a result of council's consideration of the application;
The deputy director of corporate administration stated that no correspondence was received regarding this application. In response to questions from council, the planner replied the lots front onto Cherry Avenue and would achieve the minimum lot size requirements but are wider and smaller in depth which will improve the lots on Lissimore Avenue as those lots will be deeper and the parking on Lot G has been previously addressed by the approval of a development variance permit. Hearing no further questions or comments the mayor declared the public hearing on District of Mission zoning amending bylaw 5023-2009-3143(327), development variance permit application DV09-002 and development permit application DP09-001 (R09-003-Redekop) closed.

Summary of Proposal A development application has been received from Rick Redekop Inc., to create a nine (9) unit compact single family development at 32638 Cherry Avenue and 32657 Lissimore Avenue (Map 1). The application proposes to rezone the property located at 32638 Cherry Avenue from RS-2 One Unit Suburban Residential zone to RS-1 F One Unit Compact Urban Residential Two zone; 32657 Lissimore Avenue will remain the existing RS-1 F zone (Map 2). The anticipated lot layout requires four (4) variances to address the lot depth of proposed lots D,E,F and G (Plan 1). As the proposal is considered intensive residential development, a development permit to ensure `form and character' of the residential buildings is required.
Background The development encompasses two (2) properties; the larger property fronting Cherry Avenue is 0.4 hectares (.99 acres) in area and the property fronting Lissimore Avenue is 0.07 hectares (.17 acres) in area. The Lissimore Ave. property has new home being constructed with lane access provided from McQuarrie Lane; whereas the Cherry Avenue property has an older home that will be retained as part of the development to provide a residence on proposed lot B. Both properties are relatively flat, with no watercourses present, and there are five (5) significant trees present on the larger property (Plan 2). Development has progressed westward from Harris Street with laneway access provided from McQuarrie lane. The laneway was positioned further south than initially envisioned by the advanced street plans to retain the existing home at 32670 Cherry Avenue. As development progresses westward, the laneway is planned to angle northward to create even sized lots south of Cherry Avenue and north of Lissimore Avenue. Properties to the south and east of the proposed development have already developed as urban compact residential under the RS-1 F zone. The proposed land use for this development application corresponds with the land use that has already occurred to the south and east. Undeveloped properties to the west are an average of 0.4 hectares (.99 acres) in area, zoned (RS-2) One Unit Suburban Residential, and may be the site for future development as designated in the OCP.
Official Community Plan Designation The application is in conformance with the Official Community Plan (OCP). The properties are designated Urban Residential Compact within the OCP; no OCP amendment is required to rezone the western property (32638 Cherry Avenue) to allow the residential development as proposed. Development Permit requirements as identified within the OCP will be covered later in the report. -
Zoning The portion of the property located at 32638 Cherry Avenue is currently zoned (RS-2) One Unit Suburban Residential zone with a minimum lot size of .36 hectares (.88 acres). The proposal is to rezone that western portion of the development from (RS-2) zone to (RS-1F) One Unit Compact Residential Two zone with a minimum lot size of 371.97 square metres (4,004 square feet). The eastern portion of the development (32657 Lissimore Avenue) will remain the existing RS-1 F zone (Map 2). All proposed nine (9) lots achieve the minimum lot size required; however, a number of Development Variance Permits are required to address lot depth. Development Variance Permit
As previously mentioned, the location of McQuarrie Lane was located further south than initially envisioned by the advanced street plans to retain the existing home at 32670 Cherry Avenue. The lane's location inadvertently created lot depth deficiencies for lots to the south of the lane. In order to eliminate this situation, the lane is slated to revert back to its intended line of travel. As indicated on Plan 1, the realignment of the lane will reduce, and ultimately eliminate, the extent of lot depth deficiencies as properties develop westward.

PAGE 2 OF 12

To that end, this application requests Council's consideration of a Development Variance Permit to reduce the lot depth required for proposed Lots D, E, F, and G. The extent of lot depth variances for the four (4) lots is addressed in Recommendation no. 2 of this report. The RS-1 F zone requires a lot depth of 30 metres (98.42 feet) for lots with lanes to accommodate a detached garage. By placing the garage at the rear of a property, a better house design and streetscape is achieved (i.e. pedestrian/street interface) as opposed to an automobile dominated appearance. Given the overall benefit of reducing the degree of deficient lot depths requiring DVPs as residential development furthers to the west, planning staff support the DVP request.
Development Permit The Local Government Act enables local government to require development permits that regulate `form and character' on intensive residential development. The OCP designates the surrounding area as Urban Residential-Compact to allow for intensive residential development (Map 3). The objective of intensive residential development permits is to facilitate a high standard of building design, site compatibility, site aesthetics and to integrate single-family infill residential development into neighbourhoods through general provisions for form and character. Development permit design guidelines within the OCP include roof forms, facade materials, building massing, windows, general character, parking etc.. These guidelines are designed to encourage a healthy pedestrian/street interface and improve integration of new development into existing neighbourhoods. Development Permit Abstract
The majority of the new homes in the neighbourhood incorporate the garage into the front elevation of the home while proposed lots C, D, E, F and G, having vehicular access available at the rear of each of the new lots, (i.e. McQuarrie Lane) has the opportunity for house designs that provide off-street parking at the rear of the homes. The north elevation of Lissimore Avenue seen in (Drawing 1) provides an indication of the potential streetscape that laneway access lends itself to. As lots H and I do not have laneway access to the rear of the properties, those lots will maintain front yard vehicular access. The applicant has indicated that the remaining one story rancher on lot B will be entirely renovated and will maintain access from Cherry Avenue. The design improvements will be in keeping with existing new development and will be identified at the public information meeting. The development permit will ensure the form and character of lots C, D, E, F, H, I. The street side elevation for those dwellings can be seen in (Drawing 3 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 8). The façade design of proposed lot G was already approved by Council during a previous subdivision completed by the same applicant and is in keeping with the design submitted with this development application. The proposed house designs for all other lots indicate two-storey dwellings. Each dwelling, besides lot D, provides for an attached two-vehicle garage. All proposed residences provide for varied rooflines, stone finishes and paint colours. The applicant has provided an example of house designs that generally fit the proposed Cedar Valley Compact Single Family Residential Development Permit Guidelines (Drawing 1). Provided the application proceeds to a public input meeting, colour renderings and textured samples of exterior finishes of all dwellings will be displayed.
Community Amenity In accordance with Council Policy LAN. 40 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS FOR COMMUNITY AMENITIES POLICY, the applicant has submitted a letter volunteering to contribute $1,910 per new lot created. As the development will create an additional seven (7) lots, a total amount of $13,370 will be contributed prior to the adoption of the zone amending bylaw.
Tree Retention and Replanting There are only five (5) significant trees located within the development area (Plan 2). Only the tree in the southwest corner of the development will be maintained; mainly, due to the need for ianeway, service rights-of-way and building envelope. The applicant is required to plant two trees per lot (9 lots FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON R09-003; DV09-002; DP09-001
PAGE 3 OF 12
127
= 18 trees) as per the District of Mission Tree Replanting and Retention Policy. A letter of credit for the trees at a cost of $250 per tree, which includes planting and maintenance, will be required prior to consideration of the proposed subdivision.
Street Naming McQuarrie Lane currently ends adjacent to the east boundary of the Cherry Ave. property. The proposed road network includes a lane to provide vehicle access to properties that front onto Cherry Avenue and Lissimore Avenue. McQuarrie Lane would extend through to the west as they develop. The name McQuarrie Lane is a logical extension of the existing lane.
internal Comments The Engineering Department has reviewed the proposal with comments outlined in the Engineering Department Rezoning Comments attached as Appendix 1.
External Referral Referrals to various utility agencies (e.g. BC Hydro, Terasen, Telus, Shaw, etc) will be conducted as part of the subdivision application process.
Public Hearing Information Package In accordance with Council Policy LAN. 50 — PRE-PUBLIC HEARING INFORMATION PACKAGES, a package will be produced containing material related to this development application.
Requirements Prior to Adoption of the Zone Amending Bylaw •
Receipt of Community Amenity Contribution ($13,370);
•
Registration (or undertaking from the solicitor/notary) of a restrictive covenant; the terms of which limit vehicular access for proposed Lots C, D, E, F, G to McQuarrie Lane as part of the current subdivision proposal;
•
Approval of Development Variance Application DV09-002;
•
Approval of Development Permit DP09-001;
•
Satisfying any additional requirements that may be imposed by Council as a result of Council's consideration of the application or Public Hearing representation;
Summary The development proposal 'conforms to the general intent of the Official Community Plan; both the proposed compact residential density and residential exterior design are in keeping with the surrounding neighbourhood character and intent of the OCP. Staff recommends that this application proceed to Public Hearing on June 22, 2009 and that the associated Development Permit and Development Variance Permit move forward for public input on the same date.

ORGANIZATION PUBLIC ART ORG.08 POLICY Date Policy Adopted:
Council Resolution Number:
I. DEFINING PUBLIC ART FOR MISSION "Public Art" in Mission is defined as: "artwork which is accessible to the public and has aesthetic qualities. The artwork can be permanent, semi-permanent, functional, temporary, and includes all forms of art and performance." Diversity of art placed in public spaces is a particularly important goal to enhance cultural awareness in Mission by integrating public art into everyday life and contributing to Mission's unique character and lifestyle. Five general categories of "public art" include: 1. "Site specific art" which is public art that gets its inspiration from its site and could not exist anywhere else. (Example: Xa:ytem) 2. "Semi-integrated art" which is public art that gets its inspiration, to a certain degree, from some aspect of the site. These works can exist in a number of locations provided that all have the same physical and conceptual conditions. (Example: St Mary's Memorial longhouse-style covered picnic shelter at Fraser River Heritage Park) 3. "Discreet art" which is public art that is not integrated with the site either in physical or conceptual manner and therefore is not at all dependent on the location. Usually this type of public artwork only relates to the site from a location and scale point of view and is created off site and moved into the place. (House Post at the Chamber of Commerce) 4. "Community art" which is art that is focused on the values of the local citizens. It has a community-based design that allows people to express their goals and ideas about culture and encourages community participation. People's experience of their community becomes part of the art design. (Example: Mission Arts Council banner art program) 5. "Performance Art" which includes theatre, readings, music, dance, media presentations, District of Mission Public Art â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ORG.08
Parks, Recreation and Culture Page 1 of 5
138 PUBLIC ART ORG.08
film and video, virtual exhibits, celebrations of community diversity and our many festivals. (Example: annual Multicultural Festival)
IL PUBLIC ART VISION "Public art enhances the livability of Mission. It builds our community by enhancing our quality of life, contributing to economic development and helping us to celebrate our rich heritage and our unique and distinctive cultural diversity. It brings art to life for our citizens in many everyday settings. Public art shows our commitment to local artists and to providing our citizens with access to art from British Columbia, Canada and around the world."'
III. GOALS 1. To incorporate and integrate the public art program into the planning, design and execution of civic projects in Mission 2. To demonstrate that public art can significantly enhance the quality of life in Mission and contribute to economic development 3. To ensure that through the selection process qualified artists provide a variety of arts and cultural expressions that reflect the diversity of Mission and its citizens 4. To ensure that the selection / jury process is meaningful, fair and equitable, and compatible with community aspirations 5. To encourage community members to participate in developing the resources of public art 6. To encourage participation of and partnership with the private sector to provide for enhanced public art in private spaces which are publicly accessible 7. To support the planning of public arts facilities for the creation, display, and promotion of the arts 8. To further the acquisition of municipally owned art. 9. To ensure that public art reflects and contributes to Mission's heritage and culture.
IV. POLICY ADMINISTRATION - PROCESS AND DECISION-MAKING Various departments and bodies will be involved, in a collaborative and consultative process, to ensure that Mission has a realistic and workable Public Art program. 1.

Subject:
2010 Tax Rates Bylaw
Recommendations 1. That the District's 2010 tax rates bylaw # 5120-2010 receive first three readings; and 2. Council has hereby considered its proposed tax rates for each property class in conjunction with its objectives and policies regarding the distribution of property taxes among the tax classes, as set out within its 2010-2014 financial plan bylaw [bylaw #5119-2010]. Report Pursuant to section 197 of the Community Charter, council must pass a tax rates bylaw before May 15 th of each year. The tax rates have now been established in bylaw #5120-2010 which is on the agenda for first three readings. Within the last few days staff became aware that the BC Assessment Authority had recently lowered the District's new construction assessments for 2010. The reduction is related to industrial and residential property values that were revised through the review panel process. As a result of this adjustment, the District's new construction revenue has been reduced by $67,000 for 2010. As you will recall during the budgeting process our new construction revenue estimates were increased to $271,000 from a base amount of $150,000 as a result of previous BC Assessment Authority figures provided. The difference of $121,000, as approved by council, was being transferred to the General Capital Reserve Fund within the budget. Because our new construction revenue has now been reduced by $67,000, staff have cut the additional transfer to $54,000 ($121,000 less $67,000) and are raising less property tax revenue in the same amount of $67,000, so that taxpayers are not adversely impacted by this change in the form of an average overall tax increase that is higher than the stated increase of 5.88%. This situation highlights the fact that new construction revenue is an ever changing estimate and that it is prudent to only rely on a base amount of new construction revenue to fund ongoing core expenditures. This is the strategy that we have taken and should continue to employ. Per the Community Charter, tax rates need to be established for municipal revenue and for amounts collected for the year by means of rates established by the municipality to meet its taxing obligations in relation to another local government or other public body. In other words, the tax rates bylaw needs to include the District's municipal tax rates (for general, policing, library, dyking, business improvement area purposes) as well as the Fraser Valley Regional District and Fraser Valley Regional Hospital District tax rates which we set. In prior years the tax rates set by other taxing authorities, namely the school, the BC Assessment Authority and the Municipal Finance Authority have also been included in our tax rates bylaw for inclusivity reasons and as these rates were available at the time of bringing forward our bylaw. The school tax rates have not yet been approved by the Province therefore we are bringing forward the tax rates bylaw with the required rates only. Once we receive the school tax rates we will inform council of the larger picture in terms of the estimated impact of all of the tax rates. Page 1 of 2

New legislation that came into effect for the 2009 tax year requires local governments to formally consider their proposed tax rates for each property class in conjunction with the objectives and policies as set out under Section 165(3.1)(b) [distribution of property taxes among property classes] of the Community Charter (included as schedule "A" in the financial plan bylaw), before adopting their annual property tax rates bylaw. The District's property tax distribution, which is similar to prior years, has been highlighted previously and is as follows:
2010 PROPERTY TAX DISTRIBUTION PROPERTY CLASS
% OF MUNICIPAL PROPERTY TAXES COLLECTED FROM EACH TAX CLASS 75.76%
Residential Utilities
0.79%
Social Housing
0.00%
Major Industry
0.00%
Light Industry
3.17%
Business / Other
19.56%
Managed Forest
0.00%
Recreational / Non-Profit
0.49%
Farm
0.23% TOTAL
100.00%
To formally show that the municipal tax rates for 2010 have been considered in conjunction with Council's tax class property tax distribution policies and objectives, we need to pass a formal motion stating so. The various municipal tax rates included in bylaw #5120-2010, which is now being brought forward for first three readings, are consistent with council's financial plan and the overall 5.88% tax increase approved by council.

To:

From:
Director of Finance
Date:
April 28, 2010
Subject:
District of Mission Reserve Fund Transfer Bylaw #5134-2010
Recommendation 1. That District of Mission Reserve Fund Transfer Bylaw #5134-2010 receive first three readings on May 3, 2010, and be considered for adoption on May 17, 2010. Background Council previously approved a comprehensive restructuring of the District's reserves including a new reserve/surplus policy and various bylaw changes. As part of the restructuring, staff recommended and council approved certain reserve fund transfers to newly founded reserves. Staff had to wait until now to implement these transfers as the new reserve fund bylaws needed to be established by receiving final adoption and interest earnings had to be taken into account to year-end. Staff are now implementing the previously approved reserve transfers via bylaw #5134-2010. The transfers are as follows: 1. four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000.00) is being transferred from the General Capital Reserve Fund to the Major Capital Reserve Fund; 2. two hundred and seventy thousand, five hundred seventy-five dollars and forty-five cents ($270,575.45) is being transferred from the General Capital Reserve Fund to the Debt Retirement Reserve Fund; and 3. seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.00) is being transferred from the Insurance Reserve Fund to the Legal Reserve Fund.

•
all necessary traffic control; and
That Council grant permission for the event organizers to borrows traffic cones and barriers from the public works yard. Pick up and drop off of these item to be arranged by the event organizers with district staff.
BACKGROUND: Attached is a letter from Karla Stowards and Dan Gronross dated April 6, 2010 requesting permission to hold a mountain bike race on June 19 and 20, 2010 on Red Mountain. Due to some concerns raised after last year's event, Forestry staff has requested the following: 1. Limited parking allowed at the Mill Pond area. Organizers could make arrangements with the Rod and Gun club, to accommodate the extra parking. Forestry staff has also advised
PAGE 1 OF 2
146
the organizers that they may also use the district's small gravel pit area for organizer and volunteer parking. 2. Last year the portable toilets were vandalized prior to them being picked up. The organizer need to ensure the toilets are placed behind the District's locked gates and the toilets are not placed within 20 meters of any water sources or creeks whether dry or running. Any vandalism or spillage of human waste will need a contingency plan to deal with it ie: scooping, and then watering down any remaining debris. Ensuring PROMPT removal of the toilets is key in avoiding any problems. The organizers have already provided the district with a copy of their certificate of insurance In the amount of $5,000. Forestry staff has also advised them of the two issues which arose after last years event. Staff is requesting that council support the Arduum Downhill bike race subject to the organizers satisfying the resolutions noted above recommendation section above.

Wripuum April 6th, 2010 Dear Kelly Ridley, Re. Downhill mountain bike race on Red mountain We are writing this letter seeking approval from the City of Mission to hold a downhill mountain bike race on Red mountain. Arduum is a three times successful mountain bike race, which has been held in conjunction with Cycling BC for two of its years to be part of the provincial point's series. Greg Rector and Denise Britton have done an amazing and very successful job of running the race for the past three years. At this point they have handed off the torch to Dan Gronross and Karla Stowards in conjunction with Dunbar Cycles to fill these already big shoes. The past seasons have seen lots of trail work and maintenance on Red Mountain's Arduum trail; we are seeking approval to hold a fourth year of Arduum on June 19th and 20th 2010. Dan's involvement in the mountain biking community includes Organizer of the Seymour Smackdown, the downhill component of the North Shore Bike Festival, 3 year organizer of the Ripper Race Series (Non-competitive racing) on the Shore, President of the North Shore Mountain Bike Association (Past), volunteer marshal at the two previous Arduum Challenge races, Mountain Bike Liaison to West Vancouver and British Properties for the Rogers Creek Development on Cypress Mountain and Vice-President of the Old Growth Conservancy Society in West Vancouver. Karla has been involved with the Arduum race for its first three years, providing volunteer coordinating and trail maintenance, as well as racing this exceptionally fun trail. Parking and traffic congestion have always been a problem for the organizers of the races held in this area. The past years we have provided parking on Biero road, which helped eliminate the issues associated with individuals parking on Dewdney trunk road. With permission from the city we would like to continue with this system for parking as well as providing overflow parking at the Mill Lake parking area. Shuffling for the race (getting racers and their bikes up the mountain) in the past years has been offered by access from the Mission Rod and Gun
148
club, using buses with trucks and trailer. Logistically this seems to be the most challenging aspect of holding a mountain bike race for any race organizers. While constantly looking for ways to improve this system we are planning the use of 4 mini buses provided by Lynch Bus lines and 4 cube vans for bikes to shuffle the athletes from the gun club to the beginning of the race. We are hoping with improved vehicles and communication shuffles should run effectively and efficiently. With riders parking on Biero road they will have to ride their bikes down the shoulder of the road, but will have no need to cross Dewdney trunk. Other Highlights: First aid will be provided by St. John's Ambulance. o We will be orientating these first responders to the area prior to the event to provide ideal response to emergency situations - Washroom facilities will be provided at the bottom of the race course on Biero road as well as at the beginning of the course. The will be delivered on Friday and picked-up on Monday. Someone will be available during these times to provide gate access for the delivery Insurance provided by Cycling BC, see attached with Mission and the Rod and Gun Club listed as insured, - Media coverage: o Local media will be contacted to provide community interaction and increased knowledge for residents of Mission to the community of downhill mountain bike racing o Pinkbike: Articles about the lead up to the race and race coverage. o CCN: Articles about the lead up to the race and race coverage. Registration is also being run through CCN. o NSMB Articles about the lead up to the race and race coverage. Race sponsors include: Pinkbike, NSMB, CCN, Transition Bikes, Dunbar Cycles, Sombrio Cartel, Cycling BC (Sanctioning body) We are seeking approval to hold a mountain bike race on Red mountain, as well as request support from the District of Mission by providing traffic control barriers and cones to assist us with directing athletes and spectators on Dewdney Trunk road. Thank-you very much for consideration and time with this proposal. Feel free to contact Dan or Karla with any questions: karla stowards@vahoo.ca or danaronross@vahoo.ca . We look forward to hearing from you.

Subject:
Fee for Service Grant - Fraser Valley Humane Society
Recommendation That the 2010 fee for service grant to the Fraser Valley Humane Society be released.
Background As council is aware, the Fraser Valley Humane Society (FVHS) experienced significant changes following the election of a new board of directors in 2009. One of the changes that resulted, apparently through an oversight of the board, was the loss of the society's charitable status. When council became aware of this, FVHS was asked to provide an explanation of how this had occurred, and how the matter was being addressed. This information was never provided despite reminders to FVHS. As a result, the 2010 fee for service grant was withheld, pending receipt of the information. A new executive director (Celia Durst) was engaged in November, and she has provided the attached information. In summary, it appears the charitable status was lost because of late filing of documents, and the society is in the process of regaining the charitable status. The society is clearly experiencing financial difficulties based on the withheld fee for service grant and the reduction in charitable donations. Since the FVHS is actively working to regain its charitable status, I recommend releasing the fee for service funds for the year 2010.

Hi Dennis, Thank you for providing me with this opportunity to update Council on the positive steps we are taking to get the Fraser Valley Humane Society (FVHS) back on track. When I started working at FVHS last November I had no idea the society was in such a bad state of affairs. As the weeks went by more and more surfaced that had not been dealt with over the last year, including the report to you regarding our Fee for Service Grant and the filing of our Charity Status application. This has left us in a very tenuous position and unable to operate much longer. To assist us with our financial constraints and allow us to continue providing a much needed service to the Mission community, I am requesting that our 2010 allocation of the Fee for Service Grant of $20,000, be released at this time. Attached, please find my report on our charity status issue and current activities at the FVHS shelter. Thanking you in advance for your consideration, Celia

3. PUBLIC INPUT SESSION RC10/103 MAR. Olin
Temporary Industrial Permit Application TP10-002 (Kerr Properties 002 Ltd.) — 31322 Caswell Avenue (i) Staff presentation (ii) Public Input Session (iii) Consideration of Adoption by Council
Mike Younie, manager of environmental services, provided information regarding temporary industrial permit application TP10-002 for property at 31322 Caswell Avenue to operate mobile equipment to crush and screen aggregate on an intermittent basis. Mr. Younie stated: (a)
the subject property is approximately 40 acres (16 hectares), designated as "rural" in the official community plan, and is zoned RU80 rural residential;
(b)
the applicant has a provincial mines permit that stipulates operating hours of Monday to Friday 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. except for extenuating circumstances (such as when material is needed in an emergency situation or for safety or environmental issues);
(c) the following noise and dust control measures will be utilized: • tree buffer will be left in place, • berms will be built, • crusher has built in dust suppression; and (d) the applicant has indicated he would be interested in using a new road through Shaw Pit to avoid the use of Shaw Street if that road is developed as part of the Districts development of Shaw Pit. The deputy director of corporate administration stated that the following correspondence was received regarding this application: (a)
letter from Allard Contractors Ltd. dated March 1, 2010 in opposition to the temporary use permit; and
(b) letter from Bev Novak dated March 1, 2010 in opposition to the temporary use permit. Terry Mortimer, Mission, opposed to the application: 1.
Were Silverhill residents notified by mail of this application? There should have been more public notification.
Barclay Pitkethly, deputy director of planning, responded that the legislation states notification of a temporary use permit is to be done by advertising in the paper. Mail, out notification is done when an applicant wishes to change the official community plan designation or zoning. 2.
Will the trucks be going down Shaw Street or Caswell Avenue? Wil l they be exiting through Shaw Pit?

Regular Council Meeting March 1, 2010
Page 4 of 32
Mr. Younie responded that the access to the pit is only by Caswell and Shaw. If development of the Shaw Pit goes ahead, the District has committed to building a road through Shaw Pit directly to Keystone Avenue. In that situation, it is hoped that this new pit would enter into a road use agreement with the District to use that new road, however the District cannot force the proponent to use a road through Shaw Pit. In the meantime, the District cannot restrict access to the Caswell Pit, so they would be using Caswell Avenue and Shaw Street right now. 3.
Caswell Avenue is narrow, steep and dangerous, and therefore not appropriate for heavy truck traffic.
4.
Where is the product being shipped to?
The applicant, Patrick Kerr, responded that there are no predetermined locations at this time. The product is for the construction industry and is market driven, therefore it would be shipped to wherever it is needed. 5.
Does this type of operation have to have settling ponds? How can the water stay on the site, especially during heavy rain?
Mr. Younie responded that to his knowledge, the mines permit requires that no water leave the site, so all water would have to be detained on the site. Care would have to be taken during the development of the site to ensure this. 6.
Will there be any other noise containment measures taken such as a curtain around the crusher? This is what is done at the Allard Pit.
Mr. Kerr responded that the system they would be using is different than Mr. Allard's in that he has a fixed crushing plant, where this one will have a mobile crusher. This crusher will be set down as low in the pit as possible to help mitigate the noise impact. 7.
How many trucks will be travelling out of the pit?
Mr. Kerr responded that the mines permit designates a maximum of 230,000 tonnes per year of extraction, and he expects to extract approximately 120,000 tonnes per year. As the pit will be operating Monday to Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:0D p.m., he estimates the average production will work out to be 25 trucks a day, or 3 per hour when at full production. The expected production is approximately 1.5 trucks an hour on average. 8.
The rural peace and quiet of the neighbourhood is gone. People move to rural areas to be away from businesses and industry. It seems like developers are given preference over individual citizens in Mission.
Mayor Atebe stated that every landowner has the right to make an application to use their land in the way they choose. In this case the Province has already granted the applicant a mines permit to extract gravel from that property. Council has invited the community to provide input and comments as to how we can mitigate the impacts of the gravel extraction.

Margaret Klim er, Mission, opposed to the application: 1.
Did not receive notification of the public meeting.
2.
Has council heard the level noise from the machine that was running on the subject property a few weeks ago?
Mr. Kerr responded that they have not been crushing aggregate on the site. All the noise coming from the site over the past few weeks is from the grinder they had to bring in to get rid of the stumps and brush from clearing the property. 3.
Where do the trucks exit the site? Has anyone on council driven up Caswell Avenue?
Mr. Kerr responded that the trucks are exiting onto Caswell. Mayor Atebe responded that council does go and visit sites when development applications are brought forward. The purpose of the public input meetings is to collect comments from concerned citizens first. The public input meetings are for council to hear comments, not make them. 4.
Caswell is very narrow and winding. There is not room for anottrer vehicle to pass by a gravel truck.
Lila Rauh, Mission, opposed to the application: 1.
The District's letter informing local residents of this public information meeting did not go to enough people, and was sent only a week before the meeting which did not leave enough notice for people to consider the application.
2.
Someone at city hall had said that the Caswell Pit was a provincial matter, so why is council getting involved at all?
3.
What about the creek that runs close along Caswell down to Shaw?
4.
Caswell is a single lane narrow road with gravel shoulders, which is not suitable or safe for heavy truck traffic.
5,
The operation will cause noise pollution, air pollution and destruction of roads that will affect residents far and wide.
6. Will the trucks be coming back with toxic soil to be spread over the property once the gravel has been removed? Mr. Kerr responded that any talk of toxic soil is just rumour. They have a certificate of compliance from the Ministry of Environment, meaning that the site complies with rural and agricultural land use standards. The site has been granted a permit for active reclamation, which means that as the gravel is mined, it needs to be filled in so that the land is reclaimed back to its original agricultural standard. There is a provincial contaminated site regulation that stipulates the kind of soil that can be brought back onto the site. Part of the permit application for the active reclamation was a soil approval process, which means that every bit of soil coming back to refill the site has to be tested to prove that it is not contaminated in any way. All the paperwork has to remain on file with the Ministry of Mines. ,

7. Abbotsford council recently denied a request regarding truck access to a gravel pit after hearing public concerns, and it is hoped that Mission council do the same. Mark Sippola, Mission, opposed to the application: 1.
Did not receive notice of the public input meeting as he lives on Silverhill Avenue, even though the proposal would impact Silverhill residents significantly. Council should consider the public notification issue separately.
2.
Caswell Avenue is not suitable for big trucks. Even if a road is constructed through the Shaw Pit, it is still quite steep and the trucks would have to use air brakes, thus contributing to the noise in addition to the processing machinery.
3.
This operation will interfere with the quiet enjoyment of his property and all neighbouring properties. The current zoning does not allow this type of operation, and he would like that zoning to stay as is.
Jackie Conn, Mission, opposed to the application: t
Did not receive notification of the public input meeting.
2.
Showed pictures of Caswell Avenue demonstrating the grade and deteriorating condition of the road.
3.
The trucks cannot make the turn off Caswell Avenue onto Shaw Street without going onto the shoulder, and have made a mess of the road already.
4.
The noise of the operation will affect many residents due to its elevation.
5.
Many years ago this land was used to bum hazardous medical waste including silver nitrate from old x-ray plates. The site may now be contaminated. Have soil samples been tested to see if there are unsafe residues, and has Keystone Spring been affected by this?
6.
Caswell Avenue is not appropriate for heavy trucks. They are too big to negotiate the sharp turns. Caswell is the only access that horsemen, cyclists and other trail users have to Red Mountain via Shaw Street. Having horses and dump trucks on the same narrow, steep, winding street is a recipe for disaster.
7. If a new expensive road is constructed through Shaw Pit, how ca n the District
guarantee that blasting of this new road will not alter or destroy Keystone Spring?
Taxpayers are already having to shoulder the burden of rapidly declining road conditions due to the heavy gravel truck traffic that is already here, It is unfair for taxpayers to have pay for damage to our roads that these trucks are causing. 9. There are 10 school bus trips daily on Caswell Avenue, as well as lots of local traffic. Council should consider public safety above all else.. Erica Robinson, Mission, opposed to the application: 1. Has appeared many times before council to voice opposition to the many gravel pit operations in Mission.

2010
Moved to a rural area for peace and quiet and pays very high taxes for her land. Is concerned about the increase in noise and traffic and the increased risk for Motor vehicle accidents with more gravel trucks on the road .
4. Recreational and environmental groups have worked hard to build trails in that area, and now there is concern that they will no longer have access to those trails. Peter MacKay, Mission, opposed to the application: 1.
District of Mission noise regulation bylaw 1090-1981 states that "no person shall make or cause, or permit to be made or cause, any noise in or on a public or private place which disturbs or tends to disturb the quiet, peace, rest enjoyment, comfort or convenience of any person or persons in the neighbourhood or vicinity."
2.
Rock crushers make noise of in excess of 100 decibels, and permanent hearing loss can occur at BO db. The gravel processing operation will disturb quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment, comfort and convenience of persons in the neighbourhood.
3. This permit is for two years with the possibility of extension for another two years without public input, which makes it more permanent than temporary. Even though the District has little power to prevent the extraction of gravel from the property, it does not have to allow processing on the site. The property assessment for the land will decrease as it is denuded, which will lower the municipal tax base. The end product will travel on municipal roads and will cause degradation of these roads at a greater rate than what is compensated by the collection of gravel removal fees. 6. This industrial expansion will do nothing to increase our tax bases, but rather decrease it and add additional costs. This development has no long term potential and will degrade a very precious neighbourhood. Stephen Ell, Mission, opposed to the application: 1.
Distributed and read several articles about incidents when gravel trucks have collided with school buses, causing severe damage, injury and death.
2.
Is concerned about: (a) expanded gravel operations in the District in general, (b) the excessive amount of noise a gravel crushing and screening operation will bring to the quiet, rural neighbourhood, reduced residential property values due to nearby gravel pit operations, (d) increase danger and risk of serious injury or death for all the kids riding in school buses in the area, as well as all other residents, (e) any use of Caswell Avenue by gravel trucks, due to the steepness of the road.

The potential consequences if this operation is allowed includes loss of votes for the council members supporting this decision, and the possibility of liability claims against the District in the event of an accident. Tracy Lyster, Mission, opposed to the application: 1.
Did not receive notice of the proposal, although has heard the noise from the land clearing and will very likely be hearing the noise from the gravel crushing operation.
2.
What is the business case or argument as to how this would be of benefit to Mission? If the expedited gravel removal from Shaw Pit is being done to meet the needs of the community, why is it necessary to open a third pit in the same area?
Mayor Atebe stated that this is an application from a land owner, not a council application. It is the owner who is applying to use his property in a certain way. All land owners are give the same due process. 3.
Asking council to empathize with the people in the community and consider whether the application will benefit Mission.
4.
There have been no assurances that any soil contamination impacts have been addressed.
5 We have not heard what the hydrology impacts are going to be. There is a stream there that drains into a Class A fish bearing creek, which then drains into Hayward Lake. What are the impacts going to be to that site? What are the setbatks? What about potential impacts to the groundwater and people's wells? What are the impacts to the Keystone Spring?
6.
What are the infrastructure impacts? Current infrastructure on Caswell is not adequate to maintain heavy trucks. There is already damage to Keystone Avenue from the gravel trucks currently there.
7.
What about the noise impacts? Noise from the current gravel operations can be heard many kilometres away.
8. We do not yet know the extent of the impacts, or what the benefits would be. These questions should be answered before a decision is made. Donald Choboter, Mission, opposed to the application: 1.
Agrees with all points made by the previous speakers.
2.
All of the runoff from the Shaw Pit eventually makes its way onto his property. Any contaminants from that development will therefore end up onto his property. He has had to spend a great deal of money to purify his shallow well, and is concerned about a reduction in the water table.
3. How can council consider a proposal such as this in this particular location? What steps have been taken to make sure the land is free from contamination? Public safety should be the main concern. Mayor Atebe reiterated that what is being asked is permission to crush and process gravel. Council does not have any control over the mining of the gravel. Council is not the body proposing to crush and process gravel.

Mr. Ken stated that he received approval on October 1, 2009 for mining the gravel. -
Jeanette Smith, Mission, opposed to the application: 1.
Agrees with the points and concerns raised by the previous speakers.
2.
Is concerned about the noise/decibel level of the operation, and the size of the tree buffer.
3.
The process regarding notification of applications should not just be based on minimum distances, it should consider how many residents would be impacted by the proposal, such as how far the sound would travel. The policy should be changed to include a greater area of notification.
4.
If council decides to allow the proposal but will not let them use Caswell Avenue, who decides where a new road will go and who will pay for it?
Mr. Younie responded that the District has released a request for proposals for the Shaw Pit development, including a plan for getting gravel out without using Shaw Street. The successful bidder of that Shaw Pit proposal would pay for the road. 5.
If the District says no to Caswell Avenue, will the applicant then have to put a road in that comes out somewhere else?
Mr. Younie stated that council may not be able to stipulate access to private property. Whether council can prevent trucks coming down Caswell Avenue is a legal question. 6.
Who will monitor the settling ponds?
Mr. Younie responded that the Ministry of Environment and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans would be responsible for monitoring discharges of turbid water to the creek. If the District saw something that was not in compliance with federal or provincial law, the information would be passed along to the correct authority, 7.
Why are the zoning and official community plan designations different? Has the applicant applied to change the zoning? Could the temporary use go longer than two years?
Mr. Pitkethly responded that the official community plan designation is a long range plan for a property, and the zoning regulates the use of that property. The subject property is zoned as rural, and the applicant is not applying to change the zoning. This application is for a temporary use permit that will override any existing zoning to allow the temporary use on the property for a period of two years. The legislation states that after the initial two years, application can be made for a further two year renewal, at the discretion of council. After that an applicant would have to make a brand new application to council. 8.
Has the soil been tested for medical waste contaminants?
Mr. Younie responded that the Ministry of Environment contaminated sites process was in effect prior to Mr. Kerr's purchase of the property. The Ministry tested the soil and declared it fit to meet the current standards for that zoning. 9.
If the application is successful, who will monitor the noise?
Mr. Younie responded that the District does have a noise bylaw, and District staff will monitor the noise. The mines permit is clear that the operation times would be Monday to Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Regular Council Meeting March 1, 2010
Don Mair, Mission, opposed to the application: 1.
Has appeared before council to oppose the Shaw Pit a number of times because of the gravel trucks.
2.
The noise from the operation will impact everyone who lives on Silverhill.
3.
Where is the gravel going? Most, if not all of it, will not be going into our community. Three gravel pits in this area is too much. It is too much to ask people to put up with the increase in traffic and noise.
Kevin McAllen, Mission, opposed to the application: 1.
Did not receive notice of the application,
2.
The topography of the area is like an amphitheatre and will project the noise.
3.
The pressure to develop gravel pits in this area will continue. Asking council to turn down this application, as it will only add to the aggravation that already exists. Please preserve the rural atmosphere.
Patrick Kerr, the applicant, stated: 1.
The permit for gravel extraction was granted on October 1, 2009. That extraction permit allows for the mining of the natural resource and for trucking it off site. They are asking for a temporary permit to crush and screen the gravel to make selective products on site.
2.
The permitted gravel operation was notified to the public process last fall through the BC Gazette and local papers, as required by the provincial government.
3.
Safety on Caswell Avenue is also their concern and they have had both a geotechnical and civil engineer provide reports on the road. They have used trucks on the road that are actually 10 to 15 feet longer than the gravel trucks that will be used. This may be why there was some damage to the corner of Caswell and Shaw, as those were longer trucks hauling wood shavings from the land clearing rather than gravel trucks,
4.
There is a 30 metre buffer from Lynch Brook on the north side, as stipulated in the mines permit. Nothing will happen within that buffer zone.
5. The mines permit also states that they must stay two metres above the current water table, and they do not intend to mine gravel down into the water table. The permitted maximum gravel extraction is 230,000 tonnes/year, and what they are asking to do will actually reduce the amount of gravel being hauled, as they are asking to crush and screen to make selective products, rather than just haul the bulk pit run. What they are asking to do will lessen the number of trucks on that road than what is allowed, to approximately 1.5 trucks per hour on average. They also had concerns about the site being contaminated before the purchase of the property. There is a certificate of compliance, and they are happy to share that information and report with anyone who wants to see it. Page 9 of 11

B.
Caswell Avenue is the only access to the property, and they are permitted to use that road to remove gravel. They are also proponents for the Shaw Pit tender process and if they are the successful bidders, they would be quite willing to look at using the road that would be constructed with that pit.
9.
If the temporary use permit is granted by council, there will be more noise and higher traffic on the road. One of the benefits offered to Mission in exchange is employment. They employ 43 people in the company, and many are Mission residents.
10. They will do everything they can to mitigate the noise if the temporary use permit is granted. They are open to suggestions and solutions. They have offered to reduce the hours of operation from what is allowed both in the District's noise bylaw and the Ministry of Mines requirements. They are willing to share information and answer any questions people have about the proposed operation. Jim Allard, opposed to the application: 1. 2.
If there is a concern that there should be restricted access to one of the roads, then it should be appended to the mines permit as a special condition. The community seems to want these gravel pits exhausted sooner rather than later, so that the reclamation happens faster.
3.
This application will take out the gravel and replace it with dirt, not create a residential development once finished. Is it the intent of council to create an industrial park, or is it the intent of council to create a passive park and have the Caswell and Allard pits become residential developments?
4.
Other noise mitigation options should be investigated.
5.
The District should request a special condition from the Ministry, and have ft appended to the mines permit.
6.
The District should issue a soil removal permit. ,
Lila Rauh stated she was surprised to hear that council would have to override the current zoning to allow the temporary use permit, and that council would be contravening its own noise bylaw if the application was approved. She further stated that there should be no crushing or screening on the site. Terry Mortimer asked who would be consulted as to safety of the road, and expressed concern that the District would enter into a business agreement with Mr. Kerr to build a road through Shaw Pit. Rick. Bomhof, director of engineering and public works, responded that it is a municipal road, therefore the engineering department would be responsible for maintaining it. Don Mair stated that the trees that can be seen from Townshipline Road are now much thinner, so they would not be a good sound buffer. Jackie Conn asked who would be liable if there were an accident with a grave! truck.

Mayor Atebe responded that is a legal question, however usually the operator of the business would be involved. Hearing no further questions or comments, the mayor declared the public input session on temporary industrial permit application TP10-002 closed.

Sanitary Servicing to Hatzic Ridge Development
Engineering and Public Works Memorandum
Recommendation That the District contribute $25,000 towards the design and construction of an improved sanitary sewer main in the Hatzic Bench area being constructed by the developer of the Hatzic Ridge Development, and; That funding comes from the Sewer Capital Reserve Fund and that the Financial Plan be amended accordingly. Background The developer of the Hatzic Ridge development (southeast of Ferndale Ave & Draper St) is required to construct a sanitary sewer main from their site through area A on the attached sketch. Initially a gravity sewer was proposed through area A but when detailed survey was completed it was determined a pump station was required. In their detailed review a proposal was submitted to staff to install a sewer pump station in Hatzic Park just south of the houses on Weaver Cres. Both Parks and Engineering staff reviewed the proposal and preferred not to have the pump station and main in this location due to disruption to the play fields and potential odour issues. In working through the issues with the developer a third option is now recommended which extends the gravity main down Dowdney Trunk Road to Hwy 7. The estimated additional cost of this option is approximately $50,000 attributed to additional length & depth of sewer and additional survey and design costs. Since the proposed alignment picks up a much larger service area and will enable more houses to connect to it the developer has asked the District to share the extra cost 50/50. It is noted that future sewer extensions will be necessary to fully service areas A & B since the gravity sewer to be constructed by the developer will only pick up the houses which front the main. The benefits to the District for this alignment are: •
Eliminates the cost of ongoing maintenance of a pump station and odour control unit.
•
Extends sewer to front an addition 31 houses directly and brings it closer to about another 60 -70 homes.
•
Avoids the main being constructed in the Park.

Subject:
Additional Funding for Odor Control Unit on Wren Street
Recommendation That the 2010 Sewer Capital Program is increased by $40,000 to accommodate the additional cost to purchase and install an Odor Control Unit for Wren Street, with funding to come from the Sewer Capital Reserve Fund and the District's Financial Plan be updated accordingly. Background The 2008 Sewer Capital Plan provided funding for the installation of an Odor Control Unit on Wren Street, south of Lougheed Hwy. situated at the end of the sewer force main from the Gill Avenue industrial area. Work was delayed until 2009 when additional funds were asked for to complete the project. At that time expectations were to install a used odour control unit that staff salvaged from another site. The work was completed but the electrical inspector rejected it due to no CSA sticker on the salvaged odour control unit. We are now required to purchase a new unit at a cost of $37,500 to complete the project. An additional $2500 is requested as a contingency. We recommend this project be completed before the hot weather hits as there will be more complaints about odours in and around the businesses nearby. .Source of Funding Options There are two basic options to address the current budget shortfall: 1. Reduce the budget for other sewer capital projects to accommodate the additional $40,000 needed to complete the odor control unit this year. This is not recommended as none of the projects have proceeded sufficiently to know if a surplus will be available to transfer. 2. Revise the Sewer Capital by increasing the transfer from the Sewer Reserve fund. The second option is recommended.
