Subject: questions for <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> <strong>Council</strong> (Elect)<br />
Dear Mayor T. Adlem & <strong>Council</strong>lors,<br />
We trust you recognize the neglect toward Seniors todate. In this vein, we wonder if you are prepared to<br />
work in-concert with The Elder Citizen Action Coalition, upon our seeking intervener status in all discussion<br />
pertaining to both a Temporary Seniors Activity Centre (now) at the current location & subsequent plans for a<br />
long-term facility in under five (5) years, on <strong>District</strong> owned land, adjacent the Leisure Centre.<br />
So, we pose the two situation to you, as a newly elected <strong>Council</strong> and request your understanding &<br />
cooperation toward progressing with these plan, at the earliest opportunity. Hence, we pose two questions<br />
for your consideration. We wonder, if you may wish our group to make a "delegation" to <strong>Council</strong> on these<br />
two (2)) matters or if you will take the initiative to commence dialogue with interested parties<br />
Question One<br />
Upon being elected, will you now designate the current <strong>Mission</strong> Community Activity Centre as a Seniors Activity Centre,<br />
seven days per week, 24 hours per day, to provide the current operating budget, as a fee-for-service, and to<br />
commence relocation <strong>of</strong> any other (users) to other suitable venues, thus enabling Senior's to schedule all use <strong>of</strong> the<br />
facility, and by extension, seek revenue from (determined) users, compatible to Senior's deemed use, by December 31,<br />
2011<br />
Background Facts to consider<br />
1. Seniors have been sharing this facility, to varying extents for approx. 8 years, increasing usage in the recent year,<br />
to scheduling certain events, from time to time, after each, to replace tables & chairs and such, to permit others<br />
to use shared space.<br />
2. Seniors in the last year have been designated sole use <strong>of</strong> a small Lounge, they have furnished, plus a small <strong>of</strong>fice<br />
adjacent, in two <strong>of</strong>fices formerly used by Restorative Justice, who have relocated.<br />
3. Seniors use Kitchen space, shared with other users, which has included a new stove & dishwasher, plus<br />
installation <strong>of</strong> refrigerator donated to the Senior's, as well, a small storage room built at the rear <strong>of</strong> the building.<br />
4. Seniors do not have sole use <strong>of</strong> the building after 4:00pm Monday to Friday, nor regularly on Saturday or<br />
Sunday, thus, are unable to locate (any) donated furniture, tables, dart board, pool table and such, in a shared<br />
facility. Recently a Resident wished to donate a pr<strong>of</strong>essional sized pool table to the Senior's who could not<br />
accept due to no permanent space to locate. Quite simply, Senior's share space with others and accordingly<br />
cannot attend to either loneliness <strong>of</strong> elders, nor enjoyment <strong>of</strong> elder's, other than as permitted in the small<br />
lounge Monday to Friday and during such other times, as Senior's may gain use <strong>of</strong> a section <strong>of</strong> space booked<br />
through Parks & Recreation, for any planned venue. Seniors needs. for camaraderie, exercise and other mutual<br />
enjoyment among peers, does not end on any daily schedule Monday through Friday, as wrongly deemed<br />
acceptable by incumbent <strong>Council</strong> lo these past two terms <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice, at the least.<br />
Question Two<br />
Will you meet the needs <strong>of</strong> Senior's in the next 3-5 years or so, by building an expandable facility, initially approximately<br />
12-15,000sf in size, on <strong>District</strong> owned land adjacent the Leisure Centre, building paid by Amenity fees and/or including
4<br />
contributions from DCC'S, Government Grants, one-time infusion from Gaming Funds, solicitation <strong>of</strong> funds from Donors<br />
and finally a to be determined contribution from tax dollars and/or surplus account funds, at that time<br />
Background facts to consider<br />
1. To liaise with interested Senior's and applicable Associations, with a view to establishing a "Planning Committee"<br />
to provide in-put to specific services & activities to be included in the facility (reference to the Elder Citizen<br />
Action Coalition web.site www.thecouncilclaw.ca 'click' "CONTENTS", for both a description <strong>of</strong> proposed<br />
activities and three picture galleries <strong>of</strong> existing functional Senior's Activity Centre's.<br />
2. To establish a building on <strong>District</strong> owned land, adjacent the Leisure Centre, to eliminate land purchase costs and<br />
take advantage <strong>of</strong> Leisure Centre amenities for Seniors, plus Bus transportation schedule.<br />
3. To liaise with MASH or other Developer, toward creating a cement structure, to include housing above, height to<br />
be determined & if over three storey's an OCP change, I believe, but <strong>of</strong>fering an array <strong>of</strong> needed affordable<br />
housing for Senior's and market value, to realize a joint-venture, to capitalize some <strong>of</strong> the actual building costs,<br />
<strong>of</strong> the 15,000sf Senior's Activity Centre, at ground level; with either underground and/or below/above ground<br />
adjacent parkade - with additional developable space to increase the size <strong>of</strong> the initial 12-15,000sf facility to<br />
possibly 20,000sf in the next 10 years or subject to population growth.<br />
4. To establish a mutually agreeable fee-for-service, to the Seniors governing committee, to operate & schedule<br />
events within the facility. Considering a similar scheme as enjoyed at Maple-Ridge Senior's Activity Centre,<br />
wherein a fee-for-services is <strong>of</strong>fered to the Senior's governing committee, a payback lease arrangement to the<br />
<strong>District</strong>, with the <strong>District</strong> remaining Landlord <strong>of</strong> the property and thus, responsible for any maintenance &<br />
repairs needed, and to enjoy pr<strong>of</strong>it realization <strong>of</strong> increased property values.<br />
5. Three (3) other sites have been described, including<br />
• the current (proposed) St. Andrews United Church site, <strong>of</strong>fering an 8,000sf building (deemed<br />
unacceptable due to lack <strong>of</strong> future expansion), shared facilities (deemed unacceptable due to partner<br />
being a Religious entity and ill-defined shared facilities and possible difficulties in practice & ideology<br />
conflicts; lack <strong>of</strong> defined Senior's affordable housing in the Condominium nor Townhouse developments<br />
included on site. The Planning Department are contemplating public information sessions on this site &<br />
proposal (ECAC oppose this site & plan).<br />
• Pleasant view - available in 2-3 years but lack <strong>of</strong> parking nor land to develop parking; unowned <strong>District</strong><br />
land incurring cost to the <strong>District</strong> to purchase; lack <strong>of</strong> potential to erect additional affordable housing<br />
and thus far, uncertainty to the viable condition <strong>of</strong> the structure and needs for any renovation, may<br />
prove too costly and render the site unacceptable.<br />
• Hurd Street property, privately owned by a Developer, that to obtain would incur cost to purchase<br />
and/or to commence a owner paid leasehold improvements plan would still negate the <strong>District</strong> being<br />
landowner and hence any land assessment pr<strong>of</strong>its and investment would be moot. May hold forth too<br />
many complex arrangement beyond what Senior's or the <strong>District</strong> as potential developers may desire or<br />
deemed advisable. Could still examine what is involved as a secondary alternative site.<br />
• Any potential sites, one as enumerated by Ted Adlem, that may be available, but without clear<br />
statement <strong>of</strong> Senior's needs, <strong>of</strong>ferings available by a Developer, costs to the <strong>District</strong> and time frames,<br />
cannot be seriously considered, until all facts are clearly stated and divulged publicly.<br />
• A Focus Group, including many Senior organizations, was held and we await a detailed Report<br />
to <strong>Council</strong> & Participants, from the Planning Department, to ascertain how (accurate) the report<br />
actually is, that may be part <strong>of</strong> a future (planning tool) but until received and discussed, we are in a<br />
quandary, as well, "why the Planning Department would propose the St. Andrews United Church, given<br />
the options, preference <strong>of</strong> land use adjacent the Leisure Centre, and we wonder if more sinister in<br />
origin than implied, give the facts"<br />
We hope, as our new Mayor & <strong>Council</strong>lors, you will <strong>of</strong>fer to answer these two questions, to reflect both an empathy &<br />
compassion for Seniors who have built <strong>Mission</strong> and now seek understanding and cooperation to establish respective<br />
Seniors Activity Centre's, in our lifetime, <strong>of</strong> many, is desired<br />

a) Planning Department Update<br />
i) Summary <strong>of</strong> Applications/Major Project Update/Downtown<br />
a. By the end <strong>of</strong> October, 98 applications have been received. Over the<br />
previous 5 years, the average number <strong>of</strong> applications received by the<br />
end <strong>of</strong> October is 72.8. If inquiry application numbers are included,<br />
the average number <strong>of</strong> applications received by the end <strong>of</strong> October<br />
over the previous 5 years was 142.6 applications, with 153<br />
applications having been received by the end <strong>of</strong> October this year.<br />
b. The number <strong>of</strong> applications received to date is still above the normal<br />
average. Usually, 22% <strong>of</strong> the annual number <strong>of</strong> applications is<br />
received in the 4th quarter. There is heavy activity at the counter, but<br />
the development market is very cautious given the uncertain economic<br />
environment.<br />

Major Applications<br />
As part <strong>of</strong> a subdivision application, two large waterfront properties in the Silverdale<br />
Industrial Park are in for consideration for 5 smaller lots. Related to this application

is the new BC Hydro building. BC Hydro has submitted a Development Permit for a<br />
15,270 square foot industrial building with an <strong>of</strong>fice component that will be used to<br />
run the hydro operations for the Ruskin Dam Hydro Project.<br />
An application has been received for a large residential development on Cedar Street<br />
between Egglestone and Tundbridge Avenues for 38 units. This is a high density<br />
single family and townhouse mixed use proposal. The application requires an Official<br />
Community Plan amendment since the application will change the form <strong>of</strong> the<br />
housing type in a way that both reflects the current market need and achieves the<br />
densities anticipated in the Official Community Plan.<br />
The Comprehensive Development zone for the Campus <strong>of</strong> Care facility on hospital<br />
site will proceed to public hearing on November 28.<br />
ii) Waterfront Development Update<br />
The documents for Phases 1, 2 and 3 <strong>of</strong> the Market and Feasibility Study are on<br />
<strong>Mission</strong>'s web site. These are the first three phases <strong>of</strong> the Waterfront Market<br />
Analysis and Feasibility Study concluded that:<br />
• a residential and commercial market opportunity on the waterfront exists<br />
• there is financial viability for developers and investors to consider these<br />
underutilized lands under an organized program <strong>of</strong> redevelopment and<br />
• it is possible for the <strong>District</strong> to manage land fragmentation through various<br />
policy and land use management options<br />
Phase 4 is proceeding with the expected outcomes from Phase 4 to:<br />
• determine the key intergovernmental, stakeholder and developer interests that<br />
need to be addressed as part <strong>of</strong> waterfront redevelopment planning<br />
• identify the financial implications for the <strong>District</strong> when preparing a<br />
comprehensive land use plan and<br />
• identify the various roles that the <strong>District</strong> can assume in order to advance the<br />
initiative including a cost recovery strategy.<br />
Phase 4 is expected to be completed early in the winter <strong>of</strong> 2012.<br />
b) Downtown Business Association<br />
L. Balisky reported that S. Crawford and S. Fletcher will be attending the DBA<br />
Board meeting in January to present the Downtown Neighborhood Plan. Inspector<br />
Knorski presented at the November DBA board meeting. The Customer Appreciation<br />
night is tonight, come down and support your local businesses.<br />

Proposal Overview<br />
• The intent <strong>of</strong> this proposal is to facilitate the construction <strong>of</strong> a proposed single-family<br />
residence at 32876 Tunbridge Avenue.<br />
• The subject property is adjacent to Gaudin Creek on the south side <strong>of</strong> Tunbridge Avenue.<br />
Since the property is adjacent to the creek, the minimum floodplain construction level and<br />
setback requirements <strong>of</strong> the Floodplain Management Bylaw 4027-2007 apply as well the<br />
setback requirements in Section 108 (Environmental Protection) <strong>of</strong> Zoning Bylaw 5050-<br />
2009.<br />
• The applicant is applying for the following:<br />
o Site Specific Exemption to the Floodplain Management Bylaw to:<br />
• reduce the minimum flood construction level from 1.5 metres to 0.6 metres above<br />
the natural boundary <strong>of</strong> Gaudin Creek, and;<br />
• reduce the minimum required floodplain setback from Gaudin Creek from 15.0<br />
metres to 6.0 metres.<br />
o Development Variance Permit Application to:<br />
• Reduce the minimum environmental setback from Gaudin Creek from 15.0 metres<br />
to 6.0 metres from top-<strong>of</strong>-bank;<br />
• Reduce the minimum front yard setback for the Suburban Residential 36 (S36)<br />
Zone from 7.5 metres to 6.0 metres, and;<br />
• Reduce the minimum side yard setback for the Suburban Residential 36 (S36) Zone<br />
from 3.0 metres to 1.5 metres.<br />
• The applicant is applying for an exemption to the minimum floodplain construction level and<br />
the setback requirements from Gaudin Creek. Gaudin Creek is currently located within a<br />
ditch on the south side <strong>of</strong> Tunbridge. It is proposed that Gaudin Creek will be realigned and<br />
the creek will then be located well beyond the 15.0 metre setback as required by the<br />
Floodplain Management Bylaw and Zoning Bylaw.<br />
As per Section 10 <strong>of</strong> the Floodplain Management Bylaw and Section 910(5) <strong>of</strong> the Local<br />
Government Act, <strong>Council</strong> can approve a site-specific exemption to the Floodplain<br />
Management Bylaw 4027-2007 through a <strong>Council</strong> Resolution provided that a report has<br />
been received from a qualified pr<strong>of</strong>essional engineer which demonstrates that the land can<br />
be safely used for the use intended. The applicant has provided a report which satisfies this<br />
requirement.<br />
• The application also includes variances to reduce the minimum interior side yard setback<br />
requirements from 3.0 metres to 1.5 metres and the minimum front yard setback<br />
requirements from 7.5 metres to 6.0 metres within the sites existing Suburban 36 (S36)<br />
Zone, for a proposed single-family residence.<br />
According to the Land Use Application Procedures and Fees Bylaw 3612-2003, notices<br />
were delivered to landowners and occupiers <strong>of</strong> land within a 10 metre radius <strong>of</strong> the subject<br />
property (including nearby residents on Boothby Avenue) with a timeline <strong>of</strong> December 13,<br />
2011 to respond. <strong>Council</strong> has the option <strong>of</strong> scheduling a public input session on January 9,<br />
2012 to provide an opportunity for additional public input or to consider these variances for<br />
approval on December 19, 2011.<br />

Site-Specific Floodplain Exemption<br />
• Any new construction within the <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> is required to meet the requirements <strong>of</strong><br />
the Floodplain Management Bylaw which establishes floodplain elevations above<br />
watercourses and setbacks from watercourses for new construction.<br />
• The Local Government Act specifies that a relaxation to a Floodplain Management Bylaw<br />
can only be done through a site-specific exemption as opposed to a variance subject to the<br />
following:<br />
o<br />
o<br />
o<br />
Report from an Engineer that the site is safe for the uses intended;<br />
Registration <strong>of</strong> a Section 219 Covenant on title; and<br />
Application for an exemption.<br />
• The required flood construction level for the subject property is 1.5 metres above the natural<br />
boundary <strong>of</strong> Gaudin Creek and the required setback is 15 metres from the natural boundary<br />
<strong>of</strong> Gaudin Creek.<br />
• The proposed environmental setback reduction from 15.0 metres to 6.0 metres to Gaudin<br />
Creek (current location along Tunbridge Avenue) is considered acceptable since Gaudin<br />
Creek will be relocated and enhanced through the works proposed in the Gaudin Creek<br />
Alignment project. Once this relocation takes place, Gaudin Creek will run behind the<br />
property and along the west property line within city-owned property and designated as an<br />
environmentally-sensitive area (ESA). The proposed home will then be sufficiently setback<br />
from the creek in accordance with the <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> Zoning Bylaw and Floodplain<br />
Management Bylaw 4027-2007.<br />
• Applicant has submitted a report from a Qualified Pr<strong>of</strong>essional (Golder Associates) which<br />
concludes that the land can be safely used for the uses intended (single-family residential).<br />
• This report provides rationale for the proposed setback reduction from 15.0 metres to 6.0<br />
metres and flood construction level from 1.5 metres to 0.6 metres above the natural ground<br />
elevation <strong>of</strong> the subject property or 0.6 metres above the crown <strong>of</strong> Tunbridge Avenue<br />
adjacent to the subject property.<br />
• The applicant will be required to provide a Section 219 Covenant for the Site-Exemption as<br />
per the requirements <strong>of</strong> the Floodplain Management Bylaw and the Local Government Act.<br />
Development Variance Permit (Zoning Bylaw 5050-2009)<br />
Requested Variances:<br />
• Reduce the minimum side yard setback for a principal building from 3.0 metres to 1.5 metres<br />
• Reduce the minimum front yard setback for a principal building from 7.5 metres to 6.0<br />
metres<br />
• Reduce the minimum environmental setback from the top-<strong>of</strong>-bank <strong>of</strong> Gaudin Creek from<br />
15.0 metres to 6.0 metres<br />

Applicant's Rationale:<br />
• Gaudin Creek will be re-aligned in the future and enhanced as per the Cedar Valley<br />
Environmental Management Plan and Cedar Valley Comprehensive Neighbourhood Plan.<br />
Once the re-alignment is complete, the proposed home will meet the requirements <strong>of</strong><br />
Section 108 <strong>of</strong> the Zoning Bylaw.<br />
• The subject property is a large parcel with future development potential (Official Community<br />
Plan Designation is Multi-Family/Townhouse). The applicant wishes to locate the proposed<br />
home to the far northwest corner <strong>of</strong> the site so that it can be subdivided <strong>of</strong>f in the future into<br />
its own lot when the rest <strong>of</strong> the site is developed.<br />
• The setbacks to the front yard and side yard are based on urban standards for single-family<br />
residential lots (R558 zone). The setbacks proposed are consistent with those standards<br />
approved for other urban homes along Tunbridge Avenue within newer subdivisions<br />
(Tunbridge and Hutton Place, Tunbridge and Nicholson, Tunbridge and Cail Street) that are<br />
located further to the east and to the west.<br />
Staff Comments:<br />
• The subject property lies within an area intended for townhouse development as indicated<br />
on the Official Community Plan Map 1c. Ideally the entire property should be developed at<br />
once for a multi-family site. However, the applicant wishes to construct a single family<br />
residence which is permitted under the current Suburban Residential 36 (S36) zoning. To<br />
allow for a larger and more developable site for future townhouse development, the<br />
applicant is requesting the outlined variances so that the home can be subdivided from the<br />
rest <strong>of</strong> the property into its own urban lot. At this point, it is not known when the rest <strong>of</strong> the<br />
site will be developed since no applications have been made to date.<br />
• The variance to the environmental setback to Gaudin Creek is supportable since it will be<br />
relocated in the future and better protected through a protected environmentally sensitive<br />
area (ESA) as opposed to being located within a roadside ditch (see Appendix 3). Once the<br />
realignment is complete, the setback from the creek to the home will be as per the<br />
requirements <strong>of</strong> the Zoning Bylaw.<br />
• The variance to reduce the side yard and front yard setbacks are supportable since they<br />
meet typical urban standards which has been applied to other single-family residences<br />
recently constructed along Tunbridge Avenue. Furthermore, there is a city-owned parkland<br />
designation (ESA) that will act as a buffer between the proposed home and existing<br />
residence. This buffer will help s<strong>of</strong>ten the impact <strong>of</strong> a reduce side yard setback on<br />
neighbouring properties to the west and south <strong>of</strong> the property.<br />
• Since the variances, if approved, will run with the land; staff will be making the variances<br />
specific to the proposed site plan. Any further development on the site will need to be<br />
designed to the standards <strong>of</strong> the Zoning Bylaw. The site plan will be included as part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
development variance permit for registration at the Land Titles Office.<br />

Comments from Neighbourhood Residents<br />
• As per the Land Use Application Procedures and Fees Bylaw 3612-2003, a notice was sent<br />
out to landowners and tenants in occupation <strong>of</strong> land that is within 10 metres (30 feet) <strong>of</strong> the<br />
subject property, including those properties across the environmentally sensitive area (to the<br />
south and west) and Tunbridge Avenue (north side).<br />
• The notice was delivered to residents on November 29 with an updated notice containing<br />
more details about the variance on December 5, 2011. All recipients were advised in the<br />
notice that they can provide their comments to <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> staff by December 13,<br />
2011 so that their comments can be included within this report.<br />
• The purpose <strong>of</strong> the notice is to obtain comments for the proposed variances. A number <strong>of</strong><br />
the comments received by staff were outside <strong>of</strong> the scope <strong>of</strong> the variances. The following<br />
comments only apply to the proposed variances (questions in italics with staff response<br />
below in regular text):<br />
• Can we get more details on the proposed variances<br />
Requests for more details were followed up with phone calls to explain the variances and<br />
the provision <strong>of</strong> a diagram which visually outlines the proposed variances (see Appendix 3).<br />
An amended notice was also sent out to residents which outlines the variances requested<br />
as well as background information on the site-specific exemption.<br />
• Why are variances being requested for a home on such a large lot where there are no size<br />
constraints<br />
As noted above, the applicant is seeking a variance so that the home can be subdivided<br />
from the rest <strong>of</strong> the property in the future when the site is developed for multi-family<br />
residential/townhouse development as proposed in the Cedar Valley Comprehensive<br />
Development Plan and the Official Community Plan. The proposed setbacks are based on<br />
the standards <strong>of</strong> a typical urban single-family residential lot.<br />
• Which property lines do these variances impact<br />
The variances are to reduce the minimum front yard and side yard setback requirements for<br />
a principal building. The property lines impacted by this variance are the north and west<br />
property line.<br />
• Will these variance reductions apply to future development on the site<br />
No, staff will be making the variances specific to the proposed building site plan.<br />
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 7 OF 14<br />
DV11-016/DP11-021
28<br />
• Will the proposed setback reductions result in an encroachment onto the Environmentally<br />
Sensitive Area<br />
The variances will not result in the home encroaching onto the city-owned Parkland/ESA nor<br />
will the variances result in a reduced ESA. There were some concerns raised by adjacent<br />
landowners that the applicant has cleared trees within the ESA area. However, a site<br />
inspection was conducted by the Environmental Services staff which confirmed that the ESA<br />
has not been disturbed.<br />
Planning staff have forwarded all comments addressed to Mayor and <strong>Council</strong> to Corporate<br />
Administration. As per Section 7 <strong>of</strong> the Land Use Application Procedures and Fees Bylaw 3612-<br />
2003, Staff recommends that a public input session be scheduled for January 9, 2011 in order<br />
to allow an additional opportunity for public input. It is recommended that the notification for the<br />
meeting be undertaken in accordance with the Communication Strategy section <strong>of</strong> this report.<br />
Community Amenity Contribution (LAN 40 — Financial Contribution for Community Amenities)<br />
• Since this proposal does not include a rezoning or subdivision application, <strong>Council</strong> LAN 40<br />
does not apply.<br />
Environmental Considerations<br />
• The subject property is adjacent to the Gaudin Creek, which currently runs along Tunbridge<br />
Avenue within a ditch located on the south side <strong>of</strong> the road. The watercourse is culverted<br />
along sections <strong>of</strong> the channelized ditch to provide access to private residential properties.<br />
The ditch has an approximate width <strong>of</strong> 2.0 metres and depth <strong>of</strong> 1.0 metres.<br />
• Since this is a designated watercourse, a 15.0 metre setback is required from top-<strong>of</strong>-bank as<br />
per Section 108 <strong>of</strong> the Zoning Bylaw and the Cedar Valley Environmental Management<br />
Plan.<br />
• There are plans to relocate Gaudin Creek to its own dedicated channel which will be located<br />
to the south and west <strong>of</strong> the property line within city-owned property (see Appendix 3). This<br />
relocation will result in a better protected channel for Gaudin Creek which provides valuable<br />
fish habitat.<br />
• As requested by the Department <strong>of</strong> Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), the applicant<br />
obtained a qualified environmental pr<strong>of</strong>essional (Scott Resources) to undertake a project<br />
review <strong>of</strong> the request for a setback relaxation from 15.0 metres to 6.0 metres.<br />
The report recommends a reduced setback based on the reasoning that Gaudin Creek will<br />
be relocated in the future as part <strong>of</strong> the Cedar Valley Environmental Management Plan.<br />
This report has been reviewed and accepted by the DFO and <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong><br />
Environmental Services Department and is consistent with the Memorandum <strong>of</strong><br />
Understanding signed between DFO and the <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong>.<br />

Parks and Trails (Section 941 <strong>of</strong> the Local Government Act, Parks and Trails Master Plan)<br />
• The subject property is adjacent to the proposed Gaudin Creek Diversion Project. Once<br />
completed, this project will provide protection to Gaudin Creek through a dedicated<br />
environmentally sensitive area.<br />
Communication Strategy<br />
• In accordance with Section 7 <strong>of</strong> the Land Use Application Procedures and Fees Bylaw<br />
3612-2003, notices were delivered to landowners and tenants in occupation <strong>of</strong> land within<br />
10 metres (30 feet) <strong>of</strong> the subject property including nearby residents on the opposite side <strong>of</strong><br />
the city-owned future environmentally sensitive area (ESA) and the north side <strong>of</strong> Tunbridge<br />
Avenue. The notice included a request for written comments to be provided to <strong>District</strong> Staff<br />
by December 12, 2011. The comments received, which apply to the variances requested,<br />
have been included within this report.<br />
• In accordance with the requirements <strong>of</strong> Local Government Act and the Land Use Application<br />
Procedures and Fees Bylaw 3612-2003, sufficient notice has been provided for <strong>Council</strong> to<br />
consider approval <strong>of</strong> the development variances on December 19, 2011.<br />
• As outlined in the recommendation section <strong>of</strong> this report, Staff recommends that a public<br />
input session be held to provide additional opportunities for input on January 9, 2012.<br />
• If <strong>Council</strong> chooses to pursue this recommendation, then a notice will need to be mailed out<br />
or otherwise delivered 10 days prior to January 9, 2011 to all landowners and tenants in<br />
occupation <strong>of</strong> land within 10 metres (30 feet) <strong>of</strong> the subject property, including those<br />
properties across rights-<strong>of</strong>-way and highways.<br />
Referrals<br />
Environment Services<br />
• A Municipal site Information Form was submitted by the applicant for the site and has been<br />
deemed satisfactory.<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) Canada<br />
• This proposal was brought forward for discussion at the August 21, 2011 DFO Meeting.<br />
• To facilitate this proposal, the applicant was required to submit a Project Review Form to<br />
DFO to formalize the decision that no harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) <strong>of</strong><br />
fish habitat will occur. The applicant has provided a report from Scott Resources which<br />
satisfies this requirement. The report confirms that no HADD will occur since Gaudin Creek<br />
will be relocated in the future and protected through a 50 metre channel.<br />

File Folder: Cedar Street Reconstruction 2010<br />
To: Chief Administrative Officer<br />
From: Director <strong>of</strong> Engineering and Public Works<br />
Date: December 7, 2011<br />
Subject: Cedar Street/Gaudin Creek project costs<br />
Recommendation<br />
That an additional budget <strong>of</strong> $416,805 be approved for the Cedar Street/Gaudin Creek capital project<br />
with funding coming from the Cedar Valley Roads DCC, and that an internal loan <strong>of</strong> up to $390,000.00 be<br />
provided to the Cedar Valley Roads DCC from the General Capital Reserve Fund with the loan being<br />
repaid as Cedar Valley Roads DCCs are collected.<br />
That when and where possible, further or new Cedar Valley Roads DCC projects not be undertaken until<br />
the internal loan has been repaid.<br />
Background<br />
At the November 21, 2011, Public Hearing meeting the Deputy Chief Administrative Officer presented a<br />
report (attached) noting additional costs for the above project and follow up on how to institute better cost<br />
and project management processes.. The report notes that the Director <strong>of</strong> Engineering and Public Works<br />
would be reporting back with the final costs after a detailed review to definitively verify the final costs,<br />
which is the purpose <strong>of</strong> this report.<br />
Discussion<br />
. Staff has now finalized their review and confirms there are additional costs <strong>of</strong> $416,805 (includes $20,000<br />
contingency) above the approved budget. A cost summary is as follows:<br />
• 2009 Actuals $66,840.38<br />
• 2010 Actuals $3,349,153.11<br />
• 2011 Actuals $1,345,552.23<br />
• 2011 Allowance for 5% internal administration fee $67,277.61<br />
• 2011 Remaining invoices plus 5% admin fee & $20k contingency $512,659.21<br />
• Total Project Cost $5,341,482.55<br />
• Total project Budget $4,924,678.00<br />
• Difference ($416,804.55)<br />
Rounded to ($416,805)<br />
A contingency amount <strong>of</strong> $20,000 is included due to some uncertainty that all issues have been resolved,<br />
i.e. work on private property. We don't anticipate using the funds however it is provided just in case.<br />
All works were completed as <strong>of</strong> October 31, 2011, and invoices submitted for payment. It is also noted<br />
that the final grant claim for the provincial and federal share <strong>of</strong> the project need to be submitted once the<br />
Page 1 <strong>of</strong> 2
46<br />
final invoices have been paid and no later than December 31, 2011.<br />
Financial Implications<br />
This project is a part <strong>of</strong> the Cedar Valley Drainage DCC Capital Program, which is funded 99% from<br />
DCCs and 1% from the Roads Capital Reserve Fund. The Cedar Valley Drainage DCC Reserve Fund is<br />
projected to have a balance <strong>of</strong> approximately $27,000 at December 31, 2011; therefore, staff are<br />
recommending an internal loan from the General Capital Reserve Fund <strong>of</strong> up to $390,000 ( $417,000<br />
less $27,000). The actual amount <strong>of</strong> the internal loan may be less if additional DCCs are collected<br />
between now and December 31, 2011.<br />
While it is very difficult to predict future DCC collections, staff estimates that the internal loan could take<br />
between 5 and 10 years to be repaid, based on the level <strong>of</strong> development in Cedar Valley over the last<br />
few years. Staff also recommends that this internal loan be reviewed on an annual basis, as there may<br />
be a need to write-<strong>of</strong>f the loan if the repayments are completely inadequate.<br />
Impact on the Cedar Valley Roads DCC Program: Staff are recommending that all future Cedar Valley<br />
Roads DCC projects be deferred until the internal loan is repaid, and as a result it is expected that the<br />
following DCC projects planned over the next 5 years will need to be deferred:<br />
• Signals @ Cedar & Tunbridge, $250,000, planned for 2013<br />
• Signals @ Cade Barr and Best, $250,000, planned for 2015<br />
• Signals @ Cedar & Laminmen, $250,000, planned for 2016<br />
• Cedar Street widening, North <strong>of</strong> Tunbridge, $714,000, planned for 2016<br />
Impact on the General Capital Reserve Fund: The General Capital Reserve Fund is projected to have<br />
a balance <strong>of</strong> approximately $580,000 at December 31, 2011, once this internal loan is taken into account.<br />
While this doesn't cause any issues for the capital projects that are currently planned to be funded from<br />
this reserve, it certainly will hinder the funding <strong>of</strong> any additional projects..<br />
Summary & Conclusion<br />
The Cedar St & Gaudin Creek project costs have exceeded the budget by $416,805. Under proper<br />
project management this cost overage should not have happened. It should be noted that this is an<br />
exception to the rule though as we have completed many other projects during my six years at the<br />
<strong>District</strong> that did not have this problem. I am very disappointed that this has happened under my watch<br />
and am committed implementing improved project management processes to avoid it in the future. Good<br />
project management processes identify potential problems early on and enables adjustment, including<br />
scope, in a timely fashion. As the Director <strong>of</strong> Engineering & Public Works I will do everything in my power<br />
to ensure proper project management processes are implemented including staff training and formalized<br />
policy and procedures. We now have a staff working group reviewing the project management process<br />
within the <strong>District</strong> and will submit the proposed policy and procedure to <strong>Council</strong> for review in February or<br />
March, 2012.<br />

Mosquito Control<br />
To: Chief Administrative Officer<br />
From: Manager <strong>of</strong> Environmental Services<br />
Date: October 25, 2011<br />
Subject: 2011 Results <strong>of</strong> the West Nile Virus Risk Reduction Program<br />
Background<br />
The FVRD's Engineering Department operates two region-wide mosquito control programs: the annual<br />
tax-requisition-funded Nuisance Mosquito program and the West Nile Virus Risk Reduction program,<br />
which has been traditionally funded by the Ministry <strong>of</strong> Healthy Living & Sport through an annual grant.<br />
Nuisance Mosquito Program<br />
The mosquito species targeted by this program are commonly known as floodwater mosquitoes. These<br />
species are active in the summer throughout the spring freshet and successive high water events, as<br />
water moves into low-lying areas along river corridors, initiating the development <strong>of</strong> eggs laid in previous<br />
years.<br />
The goal <strong>of</strong> this program is to reduce both the quantity <strong>of</strong> mosquitoes and the duration <strong>of</strong> their<br />
infestations to bring about tolerable and shortened nuisance conditions. The program includes public<br />
education, physical site modifications and biological control, including the judicious use <strong>of</strong> a non-residual<br />
bacterial larvicide. The FVRD follows a Pest Management Plan, in accordance with the Integrated Pest<br />
Management Act, which grants provincial permission to carry out required activities in an effective, yet<br />
environmentally sensitive manner.<br />
West Nile Virus Risk Reduction Program<br />
The mosquito species targeted by this program are potential carriers <strong>of</strong> West Nile virus (WNv), a disease<br />
that cycles between mosquitoes and birds and can infect people through mosquito bites. Although the<br />
risk is low, in rare cases severe complications can occur. WNv was detected in a horse within the Fraser<br />
Valley in 2009 but has not been detected in humans, crows or mosquitoes.<br />
Control efforts for WNv focus on controlling larval mosquitoes with an environmentally sensitive bacterial<br />
larvicide. These mosquitoes prefer to lay their eggs in warm, nutrient rich water, predominantly found in<br />
catch basins (storm water drains), backyard containers (such as abandoned tires) and some surface<br />
water sites. Each year the Fraser Health Authority (FHA) outlines annual control recommendations for<br />
our region. The FHA has its own Pest Management Plan that the FVRD is able to work under to legally<br />
complete the necessary work.<br />
Page 2 <strong>of</strong> 3

2011 Programs<br />
The Nuisance Mosquito program continued as usual this year, however an emphasis was put on<br />
updating the habitat digital mapping inventory, linking it to current treatment data for easy reference and<br />
improved management. The standard ground and aerial application <strong>of</strong> larvicide also occurred in addition<br />
to the continued effort to seek out new, or previously undetected, breeding sites that can be incorporated<br />
into the program. With the extended high water levels on the Fraser River this year, mosquitoes were at<br />
near record levels for 3-4 weeks once the weather warmed in late July. It is expected that this program<br />
will continue in 2012.<br />
The WNv program was implemented in 2011 as it has been for several years prior. However, given that<br />
WNv has shown minimal activity within the Okanagan Health Region and negligible activity within the<br />
Fraser and Richmond Health Regions, the province has changed its strategy. The province will not fund<br />
pre-emptive larvaciding at the local level in 2012 as it is not considered an effective use <strong>of</strong> public health<br />
funds. Surveillance for WNv will continue but likely at reduced levels. FVRD staff will investigate<br />
whether or not it is worth applying tax-requisition funds to WNv program activities in 2012. A decision will<br />
be made over the winter months and staff will update <strong>Council</strong> in spring 2012 with proposed programs for<br />
summer 2012.<br />
Public Information<br />
The FVRD maintains an excellent website with links to many different pieces <strong>of</strong> information regarding<br />
WNv and general mosquito control (http://www.fvrd.bc.ca/Services/Mosquitoes/Paces/default.aspx) . <strong>District</strong><br />
staff will keep staff and the public apprised <strong>of</strong> the nuisance mosquito program next spring through the<br />
City Page and website.<br />

Recommendation<br />
That <strong>Council</strong> direct staff to present a report on this Application, including options for <strong>Council</strong><br />
consideration, at the January 9, 2012 <strong>Council</strong> Meeting<br />
Background<br />
Sturgeon's on the Fraser is a development proposal that would see a floating restaurant established at<br />
the foot <strong>of</strong> Horne Street. The original proposal was presented on September 7, 2010 when an<br />
application to develop a floating restaurant and marina was brought forward for <strong>Council</strong> consideration.<br />
At that time <strong>Council</strong> was given 4 options to choose from:<br />
1) Deem the application incomplete and not proceed<br />
2) Grant first and second reading and hold the application until the uplands are included<br />
3) Grant first and second reading and proceed to Public Hearing<br />
4) Deny first and second reading<br />
The September 7, 2010 decision was Option 2.<br />
At this time, the application R10-012 and DP10-003 has seen granted first and second reading and is on<br />
hold pending the inclusion <strong>of</strong> the uplands.<br />
Conclusion<br />
The applicant has requested that <strong>Council</strong> revisit this application process and allow for new consideration<br />
to ways this proposal can move forward. Staff is seeking <strong>Council</strong>'s direction on next steps.<br />

Recommendation:<br />
That this report be received for information.<br />
Background:<br />

A total <strong>of</strong> 7,458 electors voted at the nine voting places throughout the <strong>District</strong>, including the<br />
advance voting opportunities on November 9 and November 16, 2011. The percentage turnout<br />
was as follows.<br />
Number <strong>of</strong> electors on lists <strong>of</strong> eligible electors 24,301<br />
(includes resident, non-resident and Freeman electors )<br />
Number <strong>of</strong> new registered electors 605<br />
Total number <strong>of</strong> electors 24,906<br />
Percentage <strong>of</strong> electors voting 29.9%<br />
In 2008 there were 22,607 registered voters with 5,553 people voting. The percentage <strong>of</strong> electors voting<br />
was 24.56%.<br />
Review <strong>of</strong> Election Material<br />
The examination <strong>of</strong> the ballot accounts for each voting place was conducted in accordance with<br />
Section 135 <strong>of</strong> the Local Government Act on November 22, 2011. This examination included<br />
the following:<br />
• checking the number <strong>of</strong> valid ballots cast;<br />
• comparing the number <strong>of</strong> votes recorded for each candidate against the electronic voting<br />
machine result tapes; and<br />
• checking the number <strong>of</strong> electors who signed the voting books.<br />
No changes were made to the number <strong>of</strong> votes cast for each candidate.<br />
A review <strong>of</strong> the voting books and new registrations has also been conducted to determine<br />
whether any elector voted more than once.<br />
This process entails entering all elector registration numbers out <strong>of</strong> the voting books and all<br />
names <strong>of</strong> the people who newly registered to vote into the computer. Out <strong>of</strong> the 7,458 voters,<br />
19 instances occurred where there were double numbers. Staff reviewed the voting books and<br />
for all but one <strong>of</strong> the instances, the problem was caused by election staff transposing the<br />
numbers when they were writing them down. As the name and address is noted in the voting<br />
book, staff was able to correct the voting number to the name.<br />
PAGE 1 OF 3
59<br />
There is only one instance that could not be resolved as the name and address in the voting<br />
book are the same. One person voted at Advance and the second voted at Hatzic. The<br />
signatures are completely different. There are only three people registered in the voting book in<br />
the community with this last name and all voted at the same polling station on the same day.<br />
The error may have been made due to a language barrier where the person signing the book<br />
could not read his/her name in English.<br />
Strategies to Increase Voter Turnout<br />
This year, staff tried several ways to increase voter turnout that we had not used before. These<br />
were:<br />
1. Adding an additional voting place at the Leisure Centre. This location was well received'<br />
although the room used proved to be too small for election purposes. Next election we will<br />
book the Leisure Centre gym.<br />
2. Additional advertising through the newspaper and through the use <strong>of</strong> our website. This<br />
year, we produced a flyer that went on the outside <strong>of</strong> the local newspaper that reminded<br />
people to vote on Saturday, November 19 and identified the voting locations. We hoped<br />
people would take it <strong>of</strong>f the paper and use it to find where to vote and what qualifications<br />
were needed to be able to vote. Our website was also regularly updated to remind people<br />
to vote as well as having links to nomination papers and voting places.<br />
3. The use <strong>of</strong> sandwich board signs in front <strong>of</strong> the voting places to catch people's eye as they<br />
drove past.<br />
Voting Machines:<br />
The <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> has seven <strong>of</strong> its own electronic voting machines that were serviced a<br />
month prior to the election. Servicing includes checking the electronics, replacing the batteries<br />
and cleaning the machine. Through our service agreement, we also get 7 loaner machines to<br />
use during our election giving us 14 machines in all.<br />
Three machines were used at Albert McMahon, two machines were used at West Heights and<br />
<strong>Mission</strong> Central Elementary and one machine was used at the Advance, Leisure Centre,<br />
Silverdale, Hatzic, Fire Hall #2 and the mobile poll voting opportunities.<br />
We experienced a problem with the voting machine located at Hatzic Secondary in that it<br />
stopped accepting ballots. The election staff followed proper procedure by contacting the Chief<br />
Election Officer and sealing <strong>of</strong>f the ballot box, shutting down the machine and using the<br />
emergency ballot box until a new machine was brought in.<br />
As the first machine would not be able to print <strong>of</strong>f the results due to the malfunction; all the<br />
ballots from the sealed ballot box and the emergency ballot box had to be inserted into the<br />
replacement machine. Prior to putting the ballots into the new machine, the Presiding Election<br />
Official explained the process to the voters that were present in the voting place and the election<br />
staff so they would know what was happening.<br />
Furthermore, a member <strong>of</strong> the public who had come in to vote agreed to watch the process from<br />
start to finish. She signed a declaration that she witnessed the complete process. She watched<br />
staff empty the ballot boxes and witnessed that the two boxes were empty before they were<br />
resealed and ballots put into them. She also watched the ballots being inserted into the new<br />
machine.<br />
The rest <strong>of</strong> the machines functioned well both during the day and during the tabulation process.<br />

The following is the voting turnout at each voting location.<br />
2011 2008<br />
Albert McMahon 1029 + 1026 + 124 = 2177 2077<br />
Advance 817 525<br />
Leisure Centre 1153 New location<br />
West Heights 473 + 474 = 947 796<br />
<strong>Mission</strong> Central 389 + 424 = 813 1052<br />
Silverdale 479 411<br />
Special 140 92<br />
Hatzic 736 547<br />
Fire Hall #2 204 108<br />
Total Ballots given out 7466<br />
As noted earlier in my report, there were 7458 people who voted. As shown above, I believe<br />
the reason for the decrease in voters at <strong>Mission</strong> Central was a result <strong>of</strong> the Leisure Centre being<br />
a voting station this year.<br />
There were 8 unaccounted ballots which most likely resulted from people who received a ballot<br />
but chose not to submit them to be counted.<br />
Results were available at Election Headquarters by 8:45 p.m., with all nine voting places<br />
reporting.<br />
Election Budgeting<br />
Attached is a spreadsheet showing the estimated budget for the 2011 election. As noted on the<br />
spreadsheet, $58,015.97 has been spent out <strong>of</strong> the budget as <strong>of</strong> December 7, 2011. There are<br />
still outstanding invoices to be submitted, such as courier costs, staffing and advertising. For<br />
budgeting purposes, I have tried to estimate what they might be.<br />
Looking Forward<br />
Items that will be evaluated prior to the next election will be the need for additional staff at some<br />
<strong>of</strong> the voting stations. Albert McMahon School had line ups <strong>of</strong> up to 16 people deep for much <strong>of</strong><br />
the day even with having 5 tables open for voter registration. The Leisure Centre is another<br />
location where additional staff will be needed. Additional staff had to be called in at both<br />
locations to help handle the volume.<br />

DISTRICT OF<br />
ON THE FRASER<br />
Corporate Administration<br />
Memorandum<br />
TO: Chief Administrative Officer<br />
FROM: Deputy Director <strong>of</strong> Corporate Administration<br />
DATE: December 19, 2011<br />
SUBJECT: Section 57 Procedures<br />
RECOMMENDATION:<br />
No recommendation accompanies this report.<br />
Background<br />
At the February 14, 2011 council meeting, the following resolution was passed:<br />
1. "That staff prepare a document that will be used internally to review and identify thresholds for<br />
bringing forward Section 57 notices on title."<br />
2. "That staff draft a policy for council's consideration specifying that, before a Section 57 hearing is<br />
held, new councillors are to be given in-service training on the Section 57 hearing process."<br />
What is a Section 57 Notice<br />
A section 57 Notice is a tool for use by local governments to advise potential owners, and parties with an<br />
interest in a property, <strong>of</strong> a potential bylaw, or safety condition in, on or about a property by placing a notice on<br />
the title <strong>of</strong> a given parcel.<br />
The Community Charter <strong>of</strong> the Province <strong>of</strong> British Columbia provides that a Building Inspector who observes a<br />
condition, with respect to land or a building or other structure, that the Inspector deems is the result <strong>of</strong>, or is in<br />
contravention <strong>of</strong>, a municipal bylaw, Provincial building regulation, or any other enactment that relates to the<br />
construction and safety <strong>of</strong> buildings or other structures, and that as a result <strong>of</strong> the condition, the land, building<br />
or structure is unsafe or is unlikely to be usable for its expected purpose, or discovers that something was<br />
done with respect to a building or other structure, without the required permit and inspections, may<br />
recommend to the <strong>Council</strong> that it considers passing a resolution under Section 57 <strong>of</strong> the Community Charter.<br />
The recommendation would direct the Corporate Officer to file a Notice in the Land Titles Office (LTO) stating<br />
that a resolution relating to that land has been made and further information about it may be inspected at the<br />
municipal hall.<br />
The Registrar <strong>of</strong> LTO must make a Note <strong>of</strong> the filing against the title to the land that is affected by the Notice.<br />
The Notice will advise any interested third party <strong>of</strong> a contravention <strong>of</strong> a municipal bylaw, provincial building<br />
regulation, or any other enactment that relates to the construction or safety <strong>of</strong> a building(s) or other<br />
structure(s) on the property. It provides disclosure to future owners to protect taxpayers <strong>of</strong> potential claims<br />
against the contravention.<br />
Why is the <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> concerned about Safety Issues<br />
The <strong>District</strong>'s Inspection Services Department's role is to administer the <strong>District</strong>'s Building Bylaw to achieve<br />
compliance with the BC Building Code (BCBC). Where work is observed to be completed without the<br />
Page 1 <strong>of</strong> 2
64<br />
necessary permits and inspections, or safety conditions persist despite local governments efforts then it may<br />
be necessary for the public benefit to place a notice on the title <strong>of</strong> a property.<br />
What is the <strong>District</strong>'s role<br />
When a Section 57 hearing is requested by the Building Inspector a report is filed with the Corporate<br />
Officer and a special open meeting <strong>of</strong> <strong>Council</strong> is scheduled and all parties are notified and provided with<br />
any information in advance <strong>of</strong> the meeting.<br />
<strong>Council</strong>'s role is one <strong>of</strong> a quasi-judicial nature to facilitate a hearing, much like that <strong>of</strong> a public hearing for<br />
a land use question, where <strong>Council</strong> listens to the evidence given by the Building Inspector as to why he<br />
believes that a Section 57 notice should be placed on title as well as information from the property owner<br />
or agent. Once the hearing has been held, <strong>Council</strong> then deliberates on the information presented by both<br />
parties and decides whether or not it should place the Section 57 notice on title.<br />
To ensure the sanctity <strong>of</strong> this process a Section 57 Procedures Manual along with appropriate forms and<br />
checklists has been prepared and will be utilized for all future hearings.<br />
Conclusion:<br />
Further to the resolutions noted above, staff believes that the Section 57 Procedures Manual will ensure<br />
that the process and procedures used are consistent and provide a fair and consistent process.<br />

The Deputy Chief Administrative Officer stated that a written submission had been<br />
received regarding this application:<br />
1. A letter dated August 21, 2011 was submitted by Dr. Lyndon Balisk,<br />
President <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Mission</strong> Downtown Business Association in favour <strong>of</strong> the<br />
development, provided that 10 parking spots be constructed on the property.<br />
Lila Rauh expressed concern with the limited parking in the downtown area with the<br />
addition <strong>of</strong> three additional businesses and apartments.<br />
Mil Hunterton asked if a fire escape is planned for this building.<br />
The Planner responded that he cannot confirm if the building will include a fire<br />
escape, but it will comply with the requirements <strong>of</strong> the BC Building Code.<br />
<strong>Council</strong>lor Horn responded to questions from <strong>Council</strong>lor Stevens that the building is<br />
on street level and, therefore, handicap accessible.<br />
Darren Hall, the building designer, responded to questions from council that a single<br />
retailer may lease the premises, but the plans allow for up to three. He noted that<br />
this should also not increase the number <strong>of</strong> people in the area as the occupant load<br />
is about 25% <strong>of</strong> the previous business, which was a bowling alley.<br />
In response to questions from '<strong>Council</strong>, Darren Hall said:<br />
(a) that the proposed apartments are intended as rental units;<br />
(b) that the building code does not require a fire escape or elevator for this<br />
proposal;<br />
(c) that the lighting will be sensitive to the residents behind the building and<br />
will abide by necessary requirements;<br />
(d) that a buzzer system will be installed in the <strong>of</strong>fice area and for the<br />
residents; and<br />
(e) that crime prevention requirements would be met through environment<br />
design.<br />
Jeannette Smith asked if consideration had been made to construct an apex ro<strong>of</strong><br />
rather than a flat ro<strong>of</strong>.<br />
The Planner responded that the building will resemble other buildings in the area and<br />
is consistent with the historical aspect <strong>of</strong> the downtown area.<br />

Randy Cairns said he is not opposed to the development, but does take issue with<br />
the variance to allow for a drive-thru. He complimented council on enacting<br />
progressive environmental policy in zoning, and expressed concern that<br />
municipalities could be financially responsible in the future for the carbon footprint,<br />
noting that having environmentally sensitive sustainable development is very<br />
important to the future <strong>of</strong> our community. He stated that the application could<br />
proceed adhering to the current policies, which do not allow for drive-thru<br />
restaurants.<br />
Janet Chalmers stated that she opposes drive-thru restaurants at this proposed site<br />
and noted that, based on its location, the site is pedestrian-unfriendly. She also<br />
expressed concern with the traffic in the area.<br />
Roger Dowker expressed concern that a petition was circulated and this should form<br />
part <strong>of</strong> the record. He noted that the community should consider future air quality<br />
issues. He said he supports development in the area, but opposes unhealthy drivet<br />

Pam Willis said she is not opposed to the development, but is opposed to drive-thru<br />
restaurants. She noted that many environmental issues may arise with approving an<br />
amendment to the zoning bylaw to allow for drive-thru restaurants.<br />
Barbara Fehrmann noted that she presented the petition with 794 signatures in May<br />
<strong>of</strong> 2011. She is opposed to any new drive-thru restaurants being constructed as it is<br />
not environmentally sound for this community and they are a luxury, not a necessity.<br />
There are six drive-thru restaurants in <strong>Mission</strong> and that is sufficient for our<br />
community.<br />
Louise Larson noted that community members have many concerns with social,<br />
economic and environmental issues, but this application is beneficial to the entire<br />
community and supports this application.<br />
Frank Sleigh expressed concern with this development as it separates pedestrians,<br />
bicycles, the elderly in electric scooters and a major traffic intersection. She noted<br />
that should council agree to proceed with this application, consideration should be<br />
made to constructing a pedestrian overpass from the <strong>Mission</strong> Junction Shopping<br />
Centre to the <strong>Mission</strong> Hills Shopping Centre to assist with pedestrian traffic.<br />
Shelly Clarkson asked if Institutional Park designation allows for landscape and<br />
pedestrian development for access to this park area or if it is strictly a wilderness<br />
greenery protection area.<br />
Sharon Fletcher responded that the covenant registered on title stipulates a fenced<br />
<strong>of</strong>f area with no trails being constructed.<br />
Ms. Clarkson stated that a drive-thru is not warranted here and new development<br />
should be more pedestrian-friendly and encourage pedestrian activity.

<strong>Regular</strong> <strong>Council</strong> Meeting Page 9 <strong>of</strong> 22<br />

Susan Truman noted that she does not support drive-thrus as air quality is a concern<br />
in <strong>Mission</strong> and she encouraged <strong>Council</strong> to vote against the amendment as there are<br />
currently six drive-thru restaurants in <strong>Mission</strong>.<br />
Lila Rauh expressed concern with the increased traffic and change in the traffic<br />
pattern. She noted that vehicles are idling while in line at drive-thru restaurants and<br />
this is not environmentally friendly. She also expressed concern that the maps do<br />
not properly set out the area.<br />
Chris McArdle said he supports the development, but does not support the<br />
amendment to include drive-thru restaurants as our community should be<br />
encouraged to have more community interaction without drive-thrus. He noted that<br />
drive-thrus are a convenience and if they did not exist in our community, people<br />
would get out <strong>of</strong> their vehicles, which is healthier for the community.<br />
Jeanette Smith asked that the current zoning bylaw not be amended to allow for<br />
drive-thrus in this development. She expressed environmental concerns and asked<br />
what the setbacks were for the stream.<br />
The Director <strong>of</strong> Planning responded that, initially, when the existing wall was<br />
constructed, it was 15 metres, which was approved by the Department <strong>of</strong> Fisheries<br />
and Oceans. However, over time, fish-bearing streams have increased to a 30-<br />
metre setback. As the Department and Fisheries and Oceans have approved this<br />
wall in the past, they have agreed to keep the setback at 15 metres.<br />
Harvey Weis noted that the application for this property was put forward in the<br />
summer <strong>of</strong> 2007. He said the application was delayed in an effort to resolve other<br />
provincial agency requirements, which took approximately 28 months. He noted that<br />
many changes have been implemented and have improved the overall quality <strong>of</strong> this<br />
development in the design and character from the previous application. During the<br />
period the application was delayed, <strong>Council</strong> adopted the new zoning bylaw, which<br />
did not allow for drive-thru restaurants.<br />
Eric Ching, Urban Design Group, stated the following:<br />
• the proposal will construct five buildings, not four;<br />
• the buildings are designed with the resident community in mind;<br />
• the application has been amended to add two drive-thru restaurants and one<br />
for an oil change business;<br />
• the development is fully accessible with every sidewalk in and around the site<br />
including the entry plaza able to be negotiated by a person on foot or in a<br />
wheelchair;<br />
• traffic consults were commissioned to ensure that the <strong>District</strong>'s concerns<br />
regarding on-site vehicle circulation and pedestrian safety, and the Ministry <strong>of</strong><br />
Transportation's requirements for site access were addressed. The traffic<br />
study finds the performance level <strong>of</strong> the intersection <strong>of</strong> Lougheed Highway<br />
and the Cedar Valley Connector could use some improvement and the<br />
introduction <strong>of</strong> improvements to this area will help with this intersection; and<br />
• there will be new shrubs, trees and grass planted on the site perimeter, on<br />
parking islands and around buildings, as well as Windebank Creek.<br />
Mr. Ching stated that this proposal completes the pattern <strong>of</strong> commercial development<br />
along Lougheed Highway between the Cedar Valley Connector and Wardrop Street

Heidi Smith said she wanted to register opposition to the drive-thrus.<br />
Roger Dowker said he supports the application with the exception <strong>of</strong> the drive-thru.<br />
Eric Ching responded to <strong>Council</strong>lor Gidda that an address sign will be visible from<br />
the Cedar Valley Connector and Lougheed Highway.<br />
In response to questions from <strong>Council</strong>, the Traffic Engineer for the applicant noted<br />
that there will be a stacking lane to turn left into the site while travelling south on the<br />
Cedar Valley Connector.<br />
The Director <strong>of</strong> Planning responded that the replanting and preservation <strong>of</strong> the creek<br />
is included in the proposal, but the long-term preservation is still be negotiated.<br />
Ian White, Envirowest Consultants, responded that the creek area is protected by a<br />
restrictive covenant and the current plan is to maintain ownership with the owner.<br />
In response to questions from <strong>Council</strong>, the Director <strong>of</strong> Planning noted that prior to<br />
adoption being considered, the following contingencies could be made:<br />
1. engineering requirements, which include storm-water management on site,<br />
traffic assessment, and the Ministry <strong>of</strong> Transportation application for<br />
Lougheed Highway upgrade must be approved and an agreement in place for<br />
construction to ensure that it is completed;<br />
2. planting works within the environmentally sensitive area;<br />
3. Ministry <strong>of</strong> Transportation and Infrastructure requirements; and<br />
4. resolution <strong>of</strong> Development Permit details.<br />
Mr. Ching responded to questions from <strong>Council</strong> that the owner plans to develop the<br />
site in one phase and 70% <strong>of</strong> the space has drawn interest. He said that the project<br />
should be complete by the summer <strong>of</strong> 2012.<br />
Arthur Gryz stated that he is not opposed to commercial development, but expressed<br />
environmental concerns with the addition <strong>of</strong> two new drive-thrus.<br />
Mayor Atebe responded to questions from Lila Rauh that there will be a left turning<br />

Mr. Basi explained that the purpose <strong>of</strong> the proposed amendment is to accommodate<br />
a secondary suite.<br />
The Planner stated that the following requirements would need to be met prior to<br />
adoption <strong>of</strong> the bylaw:<br />
a letter <strong>of</strong> undertaking to register a restrictive covenant assuring<br />
owner occupancy <strong>of</strong> the proposed home;<br />
provision <strong>of</strong> a $1,000.00 security for replanting four (4) trees as per<br />
Tree Retention/Replanting Policy (LAN.32); and<br />
any other items that <strong>Council</strong> may require resulting from the Public<br />
Hearing or <strong>Council</strong> consideration <strong>of</strong> the application.<br />
The Deputy Chief Administrative Officer stated that the following was received:<br />
1. a letter opposed to the application from Steven and Leah Matthews dated August<br />
2, 2011.<br />
Joan Hahn said she is opposed to the application as this neighbourhood should<br />
remain rural, and high density in this area is not appropriate. She stated that<br />
allowing secondary suites in this neighbourhood will change the density, character<br />
and lifestyle <strong>of</strong> the community and will open the door to further amendments.<br />
Lorne Geortz stated that the purpose is to build a home with a suite in the home to<br />
aid his adult child. The suite will not be rented out, but rather will be occupied by his<br />
adult child so she has a place <strong>of</strong> her own until they can save to purchase her own<br />
home. The design and conceptual planning will be consistent with the neighbouring<br />
properties.<br />
The Planner responded that there are properties in the area that have designated<br />
suites, but there are no designated suites on Israel Avenue.
78<br />
<strong>Regular</strong> <strong>Council</strong> Meeting Page 14 <strong>of</strong> 22<br />
August 22, 2011<br />
Joan Hahn noted that this development is six lots and that when they built their own<br />
house they were not permitted to build a suite and chose to build a house in this area<br />
on the understanding that no suites would be built in the neighbourhood. She asked<br />
why the plans they submitted to the city specifically state that no suite can be<br />
constructed.<br />
The Director <strong>of</strong> Planning responded that when the plans for this development were<br />
submitted for approval, the plans were checked with the current zoning, which does<br />
not allow for a suite. She confirms that the applicant has applied to rezone the<br />
property to allow for a suite.<br />

The Planner stated that the following conditions will form part <strong>of</strong> the permit:<br />
• completion <strong>of</strong> all traffic movement alterations (as may be modified by <strong>Council</strong>)<br />
to the satisfaction <strong>of</strong> the Planning and Engineering Departments;<br />
• completion <strong>of</strong> all exterior renovations prior to any commercial business<br />
activity; and<br />
• any other items that <strong>Council</strong> may require resulting from Public Input or<br />
<strong>Council</strong> consideration <strong>of</strong> the application.<br />
The Deputy Chief Administrative Officer stated that no correspondence had been<br />
received regarding this application.<br />
Jim Hines asked about the impact <strong>of</strong> placing a barrier on 7 th Avenue between the<br />
proposed site and the Petro Canada and if it would impact traffic in and out <strong>of</strong> this<br />
gas station.<br />
The Deputy Director <strong>of</strong> Engineering responded that the barriers are being<br />
reconsidered as discussions have ensued regarding the impact on the Petro Canada<br />
station and pavement markings or signs may be installed rather than the barrier.<br />
Dave Smith expressed concerns regarding potential tenants <strong>of</strong> the building. He said<br />
he is concerned that certain types business may lease space such as second-hand<br />
stores. Mr. Smith noted that he would like to see the hours <strong>of</strong> operation <strong>of</strong> the<br />
building from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. in order to avoid excess traffic at the rear <strong>of</strong> the<br />
building. He also asked that adequate lighting be installed at the rear <strong>of</strong> the building,<br />
noting that many children and seniors live in the area and they would like to request<br />
that the lane be closed in order to avoid through traffic. He also expressed concern<br />
with parking in the area and asked if property values in the area would be impacted.<br />
Lila Rauh expressed concern with the increased traffic in the area as Cedar Valley<br />
Connector and 7 th is a very busy intersection.<br />
Mary-Ellen expressed concern with the increase in traffic in the area and asked if the<br />
light through the Cedar Valley Connector could have time added so that the wait time<br />
does not create more traffic congestion in the area.<br />
Dave Smith noted that several concerns were raised by <strong>Council</strong> in an article that Mr.<br />
Smith read from the <strong>Mission</strong> Times and said that this needs to be taken into account.<br />
<strong>Council</strong>lor Horn responded that the property value in the area would be impacted<br />
more if the building remained vacant. He noted that there were 168 accidents in the<br />
area in the past two years.<br />
Jan Voss, traffic engineer with CTS in Port Moody, responded to questions posed as<br />
follows:<br />
• based on the volumes and analysis done, this particular site does not require<br />
a raised median at this time, and if the current painted median remains in<br />
place, tanker trucks will not have an issue entering and exiting Petro Canada;<br />
• during rush hour, traffic does use the lane to avoid the wait at the light at 7 th<br />
Avenue and the Cedar Valley Connector;<br />
• there is not sufficient time on the light to allow for the amount <strong>of</strong> traffic that<br />
proceeds straight through the Cedar Valley Connector and this time should<br />
be increased;<br />
• if the lane continues to be a problem with through traffic, then the installation<br />
<strong>of</strong> speed bumps could be considered;
80<br />
<strong>Regular</strong> <strong>Council</strong> Meeting Page 16 <strong>of</strong> 22<br />
August 22, 2011<br />
• the application does meet the current municipal parking bylaw requirements<br />
based on the intended use and ,therefore, parking should not be an issue;<br />
and<br />
• the exit from the building at the northwest access to the Cedar Valley<br />
Connector closest to the traffic signal is currently a right-in and right-out only<br />
and signage needs to be installed stating that.<br />
In response to questions from <strong>Council</strong>lor Stevens, the Planner said that all<br />
development on the interior <strong>of</strong> the building would have to meet with current British<br />
Columbia Building Code standards.<br />
Dave Smith noted that he would like to see the lane closed permanently and no<br />
access from the Cedar Valley Connector and restricted hours pertaining to the rear<br />
exit/entrance.<br />
In response to questions from <strong>Council</strong>, the Deputy Director <strong>of</strong> Engineering explained<br />
that the Engineering Department is not in agreement on the traffic pattern changes to<br />
this intersection. The Engineering Department is recommending the closure <strong>of</strong> the<br />
most northern right-in turn from the Cedar Valley Connector. It is also suggested<br />
that the applicant widen the existing driveway that accesses 7 th Avenue to permit<br />
two-way movement <strong>of</strong> vehicles coming through the driveway and this driveway<br />
should be right-in and right-out only.<br />
Ali Shamei responded to questions from <strong>Council</strong>, noting that there is presently<br />
lighting in the front and back <strong>of</strong> the building and ,once the building is complete, there<br />
will be sufficient lighting. The rear entrance cannot be used solely as an emergency<br />
exit as this will be the access to the two businesses that will occupy the first floor.<br />
He noted that a vacant building is more dangerous to a neighbourhood and that new<br />
business occupying this building would beautify the neighbourhood.<br />
<strong>Council</strong>lor Scudder asked if the analysis was done during school hours.<br />
Jan Voss responded that the last traffic analysis was done on Wednesday, April 20,<br />
2011 and the data was collected for 7 hours.<br />
In response to questions from <strong>Council</strong>, Ali Shamei said that he had spoken with the<br />
Economic Development Officer and noted that businesses relating to wellness would<br />
be encouraged to occupy this building.<br />

Ms. Diane Miller appeared before <strong>Council</strong> to present the Fraser Health Healthier<br />
Community Partnership program. She showed a short video about making healthier<br />
choices and then, using a short PowerPoint presentation, stated the following:<br />
• Communities should be concerned about various personal and economic<br />
costs associated with unhealthy choices, including decreased productivity,<br />
increased absenteeism, increased disability, lowered self-esteem, and<br />
decreased quality <strong>of</strong> life;<br />
• The Healthier Community Partnership is meant to engage broad group <strong>of</strong><br />
citizens, including educational institutions, police, social service providers,<br />
provincial government ministries, business communities, chairs <strong>of</strong> identified<br />
municipal task forces, and others as determined by the community;<br />
• The purpose <strong>of</strong> the partnership is to work collaboratively to ultimately<br />
increase the health <strong>of</strong> the entire community by decreasing smoking rates,<br />
increasing fruit and vegetable consumption, and increasing physical activity<br />
rates;<br />
• The Municipal Role in Healthier Communities is to provide leadership in the<br />
community by partnering with Fraser Health and community organizations;<br />
• Municipalities can consider healthy living strategies when developing by-laws,<br />
zoning and other policies, incorporating healthy living strategies in Official<br />
Community Plans and other community planning, and conducting social<br />
marketing and education campaigns;<br />
• Some examples <strong>of</strong> steps being taken in other municipalities include<br />
implementation <strong>of</strong> Municipal food policy, altered work hours to facilitate<br />
employee fitness, and implementation <strong>of</strong> new tobacco bylaws; and<br />
• Strategies focusing on policy, public awareness and education include<br />
Healthy Eating, Physical Activity, Tobacco Reduction, Healthy Built<br />
Environment, Vulnerable Citizens and Neighbourhoods.<br />
Ms. Miller explained that <strong>Council</strong> has an important role and a significant influence'<br />
over the health <strong>of</strong> the community and encouraged <strong>Council</strong> to share in Fraser Health's<br />
commitment to making change happen.<br />
Moved by <strong>Council</strong>lor Horn, seconded by <strong>Council</strong>lor Scudder, and<br />

OCT24/11<br />
& J Developments) — a bylaw to rezone property at 32526, 32540 and 32562<br />
Richards Avenue from Rural 16 Zone (RU16) to Rural Residential 7 Secondary<br />
Dwelling Zone (RR7s)<br />
Barclay Pitkethly, Deputy Director <strong>of</strong> Planning, provided information regarding <strong>District</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> Zoning Amending Bylaw 5229-2011-5050(49) (R10-025 — N & J<br />
Developments), which proposes to amend <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> Zoning Bylaw 5050-<br />
2009 by amending the zoning <strong>of</strong> the following legally described properties:<br />
Parcel Identifier: 010-073-353, Lot 1, Section 5, Township 18, New Westminster<br />
<strong>District</strong> Plan 20926<br />
Parcel Identifier: 023-691-794, Lot 2, Section 5, Township 18, New Westminster<br />

Parcel Identifier: 023-691-786, Lot 1, Section 5, Township 18, New Westminster<br />
<strong>District</strong> Plan LMP32001<br />
from RU 16 (Rural 16) zone to RR7s (Rural Residential 7 Secondary Dwelling) zone.<br />
The Deputy Director <strong>of</strong> Planning stated that the location <strong>of</strong> the subject properties is<br />
32526, 32540 and 32562 Richards Avenue as shown on the following maps:<br />
SUBJECT PROPERTIES<br />
Mr. Pitkethly explained that the purpose <strong>of</strong> the proposed amendment is to<br />
accommodate the subsequent subdivision <strong>of</strong> the subject properties into ten (10) lots<br />
<strong>of</strong> a minimum 0.7 hectare (1.73 ac.) lot size.<br />
The Deputy Director <strong>of</strong> Planning noted that the proponent has volunteered to put a<br />
restrictive covenant on the property to limit the type <strong>of</strong> secondary dwelling to<br />
secondary suites contained within the main dwellings.<br />
Mr. Pitkethly stated that the following requirements would need to be met prior to<br />
adoption <strong>of</strong> the bylaw:<br />
• receipt <strong>of</strong> the Community Amenity contribution in the amount <strong>of</strong> $18,760;<br />
• confirmation from BCLS Survey that the encroaching structure on proposed<br />
Lot 'G' has either been moved, removed or demolished; and<br />
■<br />
any other items that <strong>Council</strong> may require resulting from the Public Hearing or<br />
<strong>Council</strong> consideration <strong>of</strong> the application.

<strong>Regular</strong> <strong>Council</strong> Meeting Page 4 <strong>of</strong> 12<br />
October 24, 2011<br />
The Deputy Chief Administrative Officer stated that one written submission was<br />
received regarding this application from Mr. and Mrs. Roy on October 4, 2011. Mr.<br />
and Mrs. Roy requested that the street be given the name MacKenzie Avenue after<br />
their son who they said was promised by the developer that he could choose the<br />
street name.<br />
Aaron Fedora said he represents the property owners asking that the proposed<br />
restrictive covenant to limit to a secondary suite within the primary dwelling, instead<br />
limit all the properties to garden cottage in form and character to facilitate multigenerational<br />
living on the properties.<br />
<strong>Council</strong>lor Horn asked why this request was not made to council prior to the public<br />
hearing.<br />
Mr. Fedora replied that the property owners were under the impression that this<br />
request had already gone forward after the September 6, 2011 council meeting.<br />
Debbie and Dana Roy said they are in favour <strong>of</strong> garden cottages so they can have<br />
their parents live on the property with them.<br />
Roger Moody said that he supports this development because he thinks it is<br />
necessary for the community. He also commented that he is worried about water<br />
retention management.<br />
Shawn Heppel is in support because it would add a lot <strong>of</strong> value to community, is<br />
consistent with surrounding properties, and would allow for multi-generational feel to<br />
build the community.<br />
Lorell Pride submitted a letter from her neighbours expressing concern about the<br />
impact <strong>of</strong> the subdivision on drinking water, as some <strong>of</strong> the adjacent properties will<br />
continue to use wells. She said they are concerned about the septic fields and how<br />
the run<strong>of</strong>f and seepage from those fields will be managed in terms <strong>of</strong> affecting the<br />
aquafir water system.<br />
The Director <strong>of</strong> Planning replied that through the subdivision process, each individual<br />
lot will have to register an approved engineered septic system on title through a<br />
restrictive covenant and deposit it with Fraser Health, so as not to affect drinking<br />
water.<br />
Randy Saunders asked about size <strong>of</strong> lots.<br />
Mr. Pitkethly replied that the lots will be 0.7 hectares in size.<br />
Mr. Saunders asked if garden cottages or secondary suites would be rentable and if<br />
there would be a difference between garden cottages and secondary suites.<br />
The Director <strong>of</strong> Planning said that rental <strong>of</strong> both types <strong>of</strong> dwellings would be possible.<br />
<strong>Council</strong>lor Horn asked if it the option to have a detached garage as well as a garden<br />
cottage on the lots would be available, resulting in as many as three structures.<br />
Barclay replied that there would be no limit to the number <strong>of</strong> outbuildings that could<br />
be constructed.<br />
<strong>Council</strong>lor Horn asked if staff had any comments about the possibility <strong>of</strong> garden<br />
cottages being allowed. He also asked for clarification about whether a geotechnical<br />
or water impact study was done on the properties.<br />
Mr. Pitkethly replied that he did not think a geotechnical study had been required.

<strong>Regular</strong> <strong>Council</strong> Meeting Page 5 <strong>of</strong> 12<br />
October 24, 2011<br />
He said that through the subdivision process the building areas were identified<br />
Norm Tapp, the developer, replied that a geotechnical study had been done.<br />
Coucillor Horn asked if a separate well and septic field would be necessary for a<br />
secondary building.<br />
The Deputy Director <strong>of</strong> Planning replied that a separate well or a shared well would<br />
be possible, noting that a shared well would have to be registered with Fraser Health<br />
as a community water source. He said that a separate septic field would not be<br />
necessary if it is registered and approved by an engineer or pr<strong>of</strong>essional in the field.<br />
<strong>Council</strong>lor Scudder asked if the restrictive covenant change to garden cottage is<br />
small enough and could be accommodated within the zoning immediately.<br />
Mr. Pitkethly said there is no change to the substance <strong>of</strong> the zoning amendment; it is<br />
just a change in the type <strong>of</strong> the housing form, so it would not be a problem to go<br />
forward immediately.<br />
<strong>Council</strong>lor Plecas asked about the width <strong>of</strong> the roadway.<br />
The Deputy Director <strong>of</strong> Planning replied that it is a standard width rural road, but<br />
there will likely be an emergency turnaround at the end <strong>of</strong> each roadway for<br />
emergency vehicles.<br />
<strong>Council</strong>lor Stewart asked for clarification about secondary dwellings with regard to<br />
the topography <strong>of</strong> the lots.<br />
Mr. Pitkethly replied that the information would be obtained through the subdivision<br />
process, noting that if a secondary dwelling could not be constructed on a site, then it<br />
would simply limit what could be done on that particular site. He stated that he<br />
believes that the sites are large enough to accommodate garden cottages.<br />
<strong>Council</strong>lor Gidda asked about how much water would be produced by the wells.<br />
The Deputy Director <strong>of</strong> Planning replied that reports would be received and<br />
Canadian Water standards would have to be met for both quality and quantity.<br />
Aaron Fedora clarified that the well drilled on the property is currently approximately<br />
75 feet at the pump setting and produces 15 gallons per minute.<br />
Hearing no further questions or comments the Mayor declared the public hearing on<br />

The meeting was reconvened at 8:09 p.m.<br />
Wendy Schmidt said she is opposed to the development because it will change the<br />
whole area and ruin views for properties in the area. She submitted a petition<br />
containing 44 signatures from surrounding neighbours in opposition to the proposal.<br />
Cheryl Dahl said that she is worried about emergency exits from the property, as well<br />
as safety in the area without traffic calming and sidewalks. She said she is also<br />
worried about the apparent lack <strong>of</strong> visitor parking spaces on the property.<br />
The Deputy Director <strong>of</strong> Planning responded that geotechnical reports show that the<br />
site is safe for the use intended. He said that there was no requirement for a traffic<br />
impact assessment on the site because there will not be too much traffic generated<br />
on the site. Mr. Pitkethly also noted that the proposal meets all bylaw requirements<br />
for visitor parking. He said that there are five or six visitor parking spaces allowed for<br />
on the site and each unit has two indoor parking spaces, as well as driveway space<br />
to accommodate two vehicles.<br />
Susan Meshwork said that she is opposed because she is worried about impact <strong>of</strong><br />
construction noise and the addition <strong>of</strong> 23 new families on people already living in the<br />
area.<br />
Keith Glover asked for clarification about the notification process and the kind <strong>of</strong><br />
housing this development will be. He asked if the public can make comments about<br />
the design. He also asked about building height and slope.<br />
The Deputy Director <strong>of</strong> Planning replied that the notification <strong>of</strong> public hearing was<br />
sent via Canada Post to each property owner within 150 metres <strong>of</strong> the subject<br />
property. He also stated that he believes the intention is for all <strong>of</strong> the units to be<br />
sold.<br />
Mr. Glover inquired whether it would be possible for the public to make comments<br />
about how the development is built.<br />
The Deputy Director <strong>of</strong> Planning replied that the comments received would be<br />
considered.<br />
Mr. Glover asked about the removal <strong>of</strong> shrubs and installation <strong>of</strong> fencing on the
94<br />
<strong>Regular</strong> <strong>Council</strong> Meeting Page 8 <strong>of</strong> 12<br />
October 24, 2011<br />
perimeter.<br />
Mr. Pitkethly replied that there will be fencing, but 26 <strong>of</strong> the significant trees on the<br />
site will be retained. He also noted that the property will be terraced to<br />
accommodate the slope.<br />
Mr. Glover asked how the fire trucks will enter the site and whether there will be fire<br />
hydrants on site.<br />
Mr. Pitkethly clarified that they will enter from 14 th Avenue.<br />
Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Paul Gipps said that fire hydrants must be<br />
located within 150 feet from each front door according to the BC Building Code.<br />
Todd Earnshaw asked about dead end roads and whether there are plans for<br />
extending the roadways for future development.<br />
Mr. Pitkethly replied that Clegg Street through to Bruce Avenue is already fully<br />
developed. He commented that the property to the east facing 14 th Avenue has<br />
development potential, but the <strong>District</strong> has no plans. He also noted that the<br />
turnaround on the east side is for emergency vehicle use and the other dead end is<br />
simply for access to parking.<br />
Peter Motut said that he is opposed to idea <strong>of</strong> having more compact housing in that<br />
area. He said that he is worried about too much light, problems with water, and if<br />
rentals will be permitted in the townhouse complex.<br />
The Deputy Director <strong>of</strong> Planning clarified that whether or not rentals are allowed<br />
would be dependent upon strata bylaws determined by owners within the complex.<br />
Mr. Motut asked if there is any future intention for Bakerview Street or Bluebell Street<br />
to be extended.<br />
Mr. Pitkethly replied that the slope is too steep for Bluebell Street to be extended.<br />
Jeff Jewell said he feels this bylaw proposal will cause a radical increase in the<br />
density in the area. He asked why variances are being considered.<br />
Mayor Atebe replied that provincial legislation allows for any applicant to make a<br />
variance application.<br />
Sheldon Jillings said that he is worried about increased traffic and construction<br />
starting at 6:00 am. He also said that he is worried that there are already too many<br />
rental units in the area and that this proposal may create an increase in rentals.<br />
The Deputy Chief Administrative Officer clarified that the noise bylaw stipulates that<br />
construction is not to start before 7:00 a.m.<br />
Mr. Peter Bulla interrupted the proceedings from his seat, asking about past issues<br />
on Clegg Street and was informed that this was not the appropriate time to discuss<br />
those issues.<br />
<strong>Council</strong>lor Horn asked for and received clarification that the <strong>District</strong> does own 8037<br />
Clegg Street, but it is in no way connected to the subject property for this bylaw.<br />
Mr. Bulla again refused to refrain from interrupting the proceedings and continued to<br />
speak.<br />
Mayor Atebe asked Mr. Bulla to leave the Chamber and he did so.<br />
Cheryl Dahl asked who will maintain the roadway within the complex
95<br />
<strong>Regular</strong> <strong>Council</strong> Meeting Page 9 <strong>of</strong> 12<br />
October 24, 2011<br />
The Deputy Director <strong>of</strong> Planning replied that the road is private and will thus be<br />
maintained by the strata.<br />
Susan Meshwork said that she is worried about access to neighbouring properties<br />
and asked how long the building process will be.<br />
Mayor Atebe explained that the recent drainage improvements were due to the past<br />
flooding in the area.<br />
The Deputy Director <strong>of</strong> Engineering replied that the developers would need to have<br />
traffic control plans with proper signage and flag persons during the construction.<br />
Peter Motut said he feels that a change in zoning would negatively affect property<br />
values.<br />
Anthony Lawless asked whether the tall evergreen trees at the back <strong>of</strong> the property<br />
would remain and, if so, on which side <strong>of</strong> those trees the fence would be located.<br />
The Deputy Director <strong>of</strong> Planning replied that fencing would be on the development<br />
site.<br />
<strong>Council</strong>or Stewart asked if the provided drawing is what the actual development<br />
would look like, where retaining walls will be constructed and the target market for<br />
the developer.<br />
Mr. Pitkethly replied that many <strong>of</strong> the significant trees will be retained, but it may not<br />
look exactly like the picture. He noted that there will be some retaining walls<br />
between the buildings to keep the amenity areas level.<br />
Norm Davis, the architect, said the target market is middle income. He said he<br />
believes the units would be too expensive to rent.<br />
<strong>Council</strong>lor Plecas asked about the intended height <strong>of</strong> and material for the retaining<br />
walls, as well as the number and location <strong>of</strong> visitor parking spaces.<br />
Mr. Davis said the retaining walls would primarily be Allan block retaining walls and<br />
they would be terraced in spots where more than four or five feet is necessary.<br />
The Deputy Director <strong>of</strong> Planning replied there are six visitor spots planned to be<br />
spread throughout the site. some driveways would accommodate parking and there<br />
would be no parking on roadways.<br />
Peter Motut commented that he thinks some <strong>of</strong> the trees shown in the artist drawing<br />
are actually located on property at 32909 14th Avenue.<br />
Chris McArdle commented that he is worried about drainage in the driveways <strong>of</strong> the<br />
proposed development.<br />
Mr. Pitkethly replied that stormwater retention would be required to be built on site.<br />
Hearing no further questions or comments, the Mayor declared the public hearing on<br />

amount budgeted. He said that the overall budget approved was much larger, but<br />
the tender was less.<br />
Mr. Nundal asked if the project was designed in-house.

<strong>Regular</strong> <strong>Council</strong> Meeting Page 12 <strong>of</strong> 12<br />
October 24, 2011<br />
The Chief Administrative Officer replied that it was designed in-house.<br />
Mr. Nundal asked what the design was based on.<br />
The Director <strong>of</strong> Engineering replied that test holes were done to determine the<br />
elevations <strong>of</strong> the water mains and sewer lines, but it was done through a vacuum<br />
truck rather than a full excavation, which likely can explain the elevation error.<br />
Mr. Nundal asked about soil conditions and whether a geotechnical study was done.<br />
The Deputy Director <strong>of</strong> Engineering said that a study was done, but the design from<br />
the supplier <strong>of</strong> the culvert required higher sewage capacity than indicated by the<br />
geotechnical report, so a concrete footing was used instead.<br />
Jeff Jewell commended council on their deliberations and their decision on this<br />
matter. He wondered why staff did not warn about possible problems.<br />

AF 11/11<br />
Community Report including Financial Plan Information<br />
NOV 3/11<br />
The Director <strong>of</strong> Finance gave an overview <strong>of</strong> the Community Report 2012/Financial Plan<br />
through a power point presentation.<br />
The Director reiterated that the budget numbers shown inside this document are just a<br />
starting point and that the new <strong>Council</strong> will have the opportunity to establish services and<br />
service levels and corresponding tax levels.<br />
Discussion ensued around the document and the following suggestions were made:<br />
1. Under <strong>Mission</strong> — Our Community — Demographic and Economic Information<br />
a) In the Labour. Force Activity graph, there is "employed" and "in the labour force".<br />
Please clarify as both statements seem to be the same thing.<br />
2. Under <strong>District</strong> Services and Programs - Human Resources Work Activities.<br />
a) The number <strong>of</strong> work safe claims has jumped from 12 (2010) to 20 (2011 and 2012).<br />
There is a standing recommendation for staff to investigate work safe claims and that<br />
the <strong>District</strong> should not be forecasting 20 claims. Please review these numbers.<br />
3. Under <strong>District</strong> Services and Programs — Information Technology Work Activities.<br />
a) The number <strong>of</strong> computers supported increases from 258 in 2011 to 271 in 2012.<br />
Would like an explanation for this.<br />

b) Number <strong>of</strong> hits on the website increases from 220,000 in 2011 to 308,000 in 2012.<br />
Would like an explanation for this increase, and what affect this would have on<br />
staffing.<br />
4. Under <strong>District</strong> Services and Programs — Finance and Purchasing Major 2012 Goals.<br />
a) Would like to see the goal "On-line payment system" added to the department's<br />
major 2012 goals.<br />
b) Is the completion date for the community amenity contribution review <strong>of</strong> May 2012<br />
unrealistic A more realistic completion date would be late 2012.<br />
5. Under <strong>District</strong> Services and Programs — Police Services Major 2012 Goals.<br />
a) Reducing the impact <strong>of</strong> crime is not yet quantified, numbers need to be included from<br />
the trends.<br />
6. Under <strong>District</strong> Services and Programs — Economic Development Work Activity.<br />
a) Would like to see "the number <strong>of</strong> new businesses" added to the work activity listing.<br />
7. Under <strong>District</strong> Services and Programs — Parks, Recreation and Culture Work Activity.<br />
a) The number <strong>of</strong> Leisure Centre visits drops in 2012 from 2011, please review.<br />
8. Under <strong>District</strong> Services and Programs — Environmental Services Major 2012 Goals.<br />
a) User pay garbage rates with a completion date <strong>of</strong> December 2012. Wondering why<br />
this goal is included as <strong>Council</strong> direction isn't recalled. Please clarify goal.<br />
9. Under <strong>District</strong> Services and Programs — Public Transit Major 2012 Goals.<br />
a) Please add "and should move forward on the recommendations therein" after the<br />
words "Master Plan completed" under the quantifiable measures <strong>of</strong> achievement.<br />
10. Under <strong>District</strong> Services and Programs — Forestry Operations Major 2012 Goals.<br />
a) Would like to see a goal pertaining to the "interpretive forest" included in the<br />
department's major 2012 goals.<br />
b) Would like to see a summary paragraph included, perhaps on the Forestry<br />
Operations page, about the business case prepared on the new interpretive forest.<br />
11. Under Financial Plan Overview — Factors Impacting 2012 Draft Budget.<br />
a) Exempt staff wage levels — would like to see comment change to include that a<br />
review is underway and will be brought forward to the new <strong>Council</strong>.<br />
12. Under Financial Plan Overview — General Operating Fund pie chart.<br />
a) Would like to see Economic Development and Planning split into two separate<br />
sections.<br />
b) Debt and other fiscal services. What exactly are "fiscal services" Please include<br />
definition in the glossary <strong>of</strong> important terms.<br />

November 3, 2011<br />
13. Under Long-term Capital Plans — Water Utility — Major Highlights.<br />
a) How can we convey to the general public that some <strong>of</strong> these capital projects listed<br />
are stable but that other projects could change dramatically Would a footnote<br />
stating, "these plans are currently being considered" work<br />
14. Under Appendices — Appendix "A" Glossary <strong>of</strong> Important Terms.<br />
a) Please add "Pro-forma" but include both the business definition "projection" and the<br />
financial definition "smoothing".<br />
15. Under Appendices — Appendix "B" Acronyms.<br />
a) Please add MSR (from Budget Process and Policies — Structure <strong>of</strong> Budgetary Funds,<br />
Operating Departments/Functions and Major Sources <strong>of</strong> Revenue), to the Acronyms.<br />
The following questions were answered by staff:<br />
1. Capital depreciation isn't mentioned per se in the document because on a financial<br />
perspective setting aside funds for asset management is budgeting for the future<br />
replacement <strong>of</strong> infrastructure and equipment, whereas amortization (depreciation) is<br />
recognizing the usage <strong>of</strong> an expenditure already made. We do mention implementing<br />
an asset management program within the document.<br />
2. Part <strong>of</strong> the budget process is a review <strong>of</strong> the capital plan. This document only shows<br />
five years <strong>of</strong> the capital plan when in fact it actually covers over 20 years. Staff review<br />
the capital plan annually, prioritizing projects prior to budget discussions with <strong>Council</strong>.<br />
3. A reserve policy has been approved that has indicated optimal levels for the various<br />
reserve funds, but these levels are goals only. Reserve funds fluctuate up and down as<br />
you accumulate funds to spend and then the reserve goes down once they have been<br />
spent. A better indication <strong>of</strong> financial health would be how much money is being<br />
transferred to the reserves. A number <strong>of</strong> new reserves have been set-up over the past<br />
few years in order to not affect taxation to fund specific projects. The <strong>District</strong> is trying to<br />
be reactive rather than proactive, and is trying to allocate funds from taxation, and if<br />
there is a surplus at year-end, to reallocate these monies into reserves. The <strong>District</strong>'s<br />
reserves are looking more positive than they have in many years.<br />
4. External versus internal borrowing. If the <strong>District</strong> borrows funds externally from the MFA<br />
(Municipal Finance Authority), interest is charged as well as having a set pay-back term<br />
(usually 20 years with a 10 year pay-down/out window). If the <strong>District</strong> borrows funds<br />
from reserves, the interest charged is paid to the loaning reserve (we are paying<br />
ourselves) and there is no set pay-back term. The only down-side is the discipline<br />
needed to make the debt payments back to the loaning reserve.<br />
5. Departments submit spending packages for new operating and capital projects at the<br />
beginning <strong>of</strong> each budget cycle. Some <strong>of</strong> these projects are more urgent in nature than<br />
others, and some enhance existing services and others are for new initiatives. These<br />
spending packages become part <strong>of</strong> the budget process with <strong>Council</strong> reviewing these<br />
requests and deciding on whether or not to fund them.<br />
6. One graph shows <strong>Mission</strong>'s comparison with other municipalities in regards to how<br />
much property taxes are paid on an average assessed home. Staff have included this<br />
graph in the information sent out with the tax notices and could show a history, to show<br />
how the <strong>District</strong> has done in past years comparing to other communities.<br />
File: ADM.COM.STA<br />
Administration & Finance Meetings 2010
Administration & Finance Committee Meeting Page 4 <strong>of</strong> 5 102<br />
November 3, 2011<br />
7. Staff are waiting to see how the water meter project proceeds before a decision is made<br />
with regards to removing the utility billing from the tax notices.<br />
8. With regard to the West Coast Express Train service, the budget amount has gone<br />
down in 2013 due to the fact that the new agreement was signed part way through 2011.<br />
Therefore the 2012 budget needed to provide for both the 2011 and 2012 increases.<br />
Hydro cost increases - the Leisure Centre has historically been in a deficit position each<br />
year due to the high hydro costs. Staff have increased the budget to erase the deficit<br />
and to reflect the hydro rate increases. A report will be forthcoming to <strong>Council</strong> on this<br />
topic.<br />
10. Greenhouse gas emissions and the <strong>of</strong>f-setting carbon costs for 2012 - the provincial<br />
government is changing the rules and it has yet to be determined whether or not a<br />
budget will be required. Staff are monitoring this.<br />
11. User fees and charges are reviewed annually by staff and a report is brought forward to<br />
<strong>Council</strong> for their consideration. As for comparisons with other municipalities, we have a<br />
landfill that other municipalities don't have, plus we are now the owners <strong>of</strong> the water<br />
supply and distribution and sewage treatment systems with Abbotsford.<br />
The following comments were made:<br />
1. The new <strong>Council</strong> needs to understand about the Economic Development Officer position<br />
and the work that has been done to draw in more business/industry to our <strong>District</strong>.<br />
Additional funding will be required in the future to allow this division to grow.<br />
2. Communities the same population size as <strong>Mission</strong> need to be looked at to see how their<br />
commercial/industrial tax base benefits their community and to see what the<br />
Development Corporation can accomplish.<br />
3. Need to explain to the public our fees and charges philosophy to help keep taxes down.<br />
Explain how <strong>Mission</strong> has the landfill and regional water and sewer systems that other<br />
municipalities may not have. Leisure Centre fees need to be explained to the<br />
community — if they become too high no one will be able to use so taxation must<br />
subsidize.<br />
4. Community Amenities — projects and contributions. The draft listing is large and the<br />
community and <strong>Council</strong> need to decide if these projects are important to <strong>Mission</strong>.<br />
Community amenities is a huge process and if the community wants specific projects,<br />
then the <strong>District</strong> needs to start collecting funds to pay for them. Need to have a strong<br />
consultative process.<br />
Moved by <strong>Council</strong>lor Plecas, and<br />
RECOMMENDED:<br />
1. That <strong>Council</strong> receive the Community Report, as amended, for information to be used<br />
as the basis for upcoming budget discussions and the decision-making which will<br />
follow, including, if necessary, a review <strong>of</strong> service levels to achieve desired budget<br />
levels for 2012.<br />

Mayor Ted Adlem welcomed guests and dignitaries and thanked them for attending<br />
the Inaugural ceremony and for the ongoing contributions they provide to the<br />
residents <strong>of</strong> the <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong>.<br />
Mayor Adlem also thanked the 2008-2011 <strong>Council</strong> for their efforts on behalf <strong>of</strong> the<br />
community and presented James Atebe with a <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> Coat <strong>of</strong> Arms pin<br />

2. MAYOR'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS<br />
SC2011/051<br />
DEC 5/11<br />
Mayor Ted Adlem gave the following Inaugural Address:<br />
"I am honoured and humbled by the support given to me and my <strong>Council</strong><br />
colleagues this past election season. Clearly the people <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> have spoken<br />
and loudly said they are looking for change.<br />
Today is the beginning <strong>of</strong> a new chapter for <strong>Mission</strong>.<br />
I will lead the way in guiding the initiatives that were supported by the <strong>Mission</strong><br />
voters.<br />
I will institute a task force to deal with the Core Service Review, which will allow<br />
<strong>Council</strong> to bring in a budget at Target Zero, which means 2011 levels.<br />
I believe that developers looking to invest, and businesses looking to relocate, will<br />
migrate to our community when they realize that <strong>Mission</strong>'s business model is one<br />
that emphasizes time-sensitive decisions, a deep understanding and consideration<br />
<strong>of</strong> controlled taxes, and putting the taxpayer first. We will lead the way in<br />
controlling municipal taxes in the Province <strong>of</strong> British Columbia.<br />
As your new Mayor I will emphasize, through our Economic Development Office,<br />
the expansion <strong>of</strong> our tax base through quality development rather than tax<br />
increases that are over double the rate <strong>of</strong> inflation and population growth. That was<br />
a clear message sent to me on November 19th.<br />
The bottom line is, effective today, the <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> is open for business.<br />
Simply call the Mayor.<br />
<strong>Mission</strong> <strong>Council</strong> will function as an open government. In-camera meetings will be<br />
kept to a minimum and will primarily be held for legal, land, and labour issues. All<br />
other processes <strong>of</strong> government will be dealt with in public.<br />
On the issue <strong>of</strong> our seniors, who during the election season expressed deep<br />
concerns about having their own Seniors Center, as I promised I will look at every<br />
available option, in close consultation with our seniors. <strong>Council</strong> will make a<br />
decision regarding a Seniors Centre, which is in the best interest <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong>s<br />
seniors and <strong>Mission</strong>s taxpayers. This also will be done in a timely manner.

During the election season we promised to ensure that the Sturgeons on the River<br />
Project, also known as "McBarge", would be brought forward to public hearing in a<br />
speedy manner. That, ladies and gentlemen, will happen.<br />
I look forward to moving ahead with a positive group <strong>of</strong> individual thinking<br />
councillors, whose opinions I deeply respect and whose common goal is the<br />
betterment <strong>of</strong> our community.<br />
In closing, I look forward to serving the citizens <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mission</strong> for the next three years<br />
by providing a new era <strong>of</strong> stewardship that will emphasize positive economic<br />
opportunity, taxation stability, and open government.<br />
Thank you."<br />
