Since Valentine's Day, Quotation comes first!

Herewith: Rumblings/gRumblings; Main Items (Arts & Culture; Public Art Policy, 1891 Marine, YAC, Caulfeild Village Green, Sea-to-Sky; Pesticide bylaw adoption); Events/Mtgs to Feb 28th; abbreviated Agenda; Stages of Life; Heritage Week Update

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.

                                -- Carl Jung, psychiatrist (1875-1961)

***  No longer rumblings: Prince Charles's wedding April 8 to Camilla who will be Duchess of Cornwall  (not Princess of Wales and all the memories that evokes) and when (if?) he becomes king, will be HRH Princess Consort (so no divorcee as Queen).

= Finance staff reported that they're going to get a consultant and start on five-year plan re information technology (read: computers).  So will Ccl at last re-establish ITAC?  Chances slim to none?  or will they really do something with so little expertise on staff........

=  Almost drooling at the HAC mtg as the guest speaker happened to mention New Westminster gets $500,000 for heritage ANNUALLY, wait for it -- from the casino!  Can't you just see one as part of our waterfront plan?  :-)

=  Concern at both HAC and PEAC that the Caulfeild Park/Common has virtually been clearcut.  Gotta put some umph in our regulations!  or actually have regulations, enforceable ones.  My position has always been to chant the mantra that the view is through the trees or framed by the trees!

=  One cmte member wondered why at district/cmte mtgs at the Hall they supply mineral water -- isn't our local water fit to drink?

=  One reader upset at the prospect of Starbuck's in Dundarave.

+++++  CCL MTG NOTES Feb 7th from 7pm  +++++++++++++++++

                [Please note this transcript was typed during the meeting on a best efforts basis.]

Mayor Wood and Cclrs Clark and Soprovich absent so only the four needed for quorum....  Cclr Durman was in the chair and, amazingly, the Chamber did not burst into flames and the meeting was only two hours!  Who put valium in his coffee?  They were a bit late coming out from the conference room -- mtg didn't start until 7:08.

Cclr Durman announced:  The Mayor's on holiday in Honolulu, Cclr Clark's away on business, and Cclr Soprovich is ill with the flu, so you're unfortunately stuck with me {his words, not mine}, ... so we're] "short on quantity but quality is here".

At the January 10, 2005 meeting, Council received the report dated December 21, 2004 from the Assistant Planner titled Development Variance Permit No. 04-025 (1145 Ottaburn Road),...

Further Information:  Development Variance Permit No. 04-025 (1145 Ottaburn Road)

Architect (Janet Lutz?) said the owner liked the house very much but wd like to keep orientation and style but enlarge house and add garages; wedge-shaped lot; had attached garage

non-conforming, sensitive to neighbours' views

putting the two-car garage next to existing one to be used as storage

felt compelling reason to keep house

keep views for back nbr

compelling need to keep house for env'tal reasons

non-conforming use according bylaw

by diminishing the setback on the east to 5ft rather than 5.2ft, was to allow,.... designed to give better front door and better access to front street, more typical of WV; need 4 inches to get the front door to face onto Ottaburn

taking down carport, taking driveway out, chorus

covered parking from lane; met intent of bylaw but need it to carry it out

Owner: we did have an open house for the neighbours and they said great

VD: anything signed?

PASSED

Geri Boyle, Planner: has now been submitted to M

VD: explain the outcome? tailed frogs doing well?

GB: that summarizes it all

RECOMMENDED: THAT the report dated January 25, 2005 from the Manager of Community Planning regarding submission by British Pacific Properties of the Tailed Frog Study, June 2004 be received.

VD: add that it be sent to the group of young people who raised this issue? did the scientific research; devpr stopped, five years have gone by

VD: Council of day put in certain regulations to protect; what they put in place worked

RD: five creeks were studied

have to ask what's so important about the tailed frog

hold up all that devt for a frog

remember how the frog goes so go we......

frogs not doing well these days

problems in the ecosystem

their well-being generally determines health

I don't understand the last paragraph in the executive summary about PH levels

wish there was some explanation

why did PH levels decrease?

can anyone explain what that means?

MMgr: perhaps get env'tal

at this point hasn't been a deleterious effect

need more study long term

can be indicator

appears no serious impact at this point but continue to monitor

to determine what's good and bad

PH level I think indicates the level of acidity in water

7:50

RECOMMENDED: THAT "Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 4414, 2005" be introduced and read a first time.

RB: objective was to consolidate all the fees and charges

intention to review all annually as part of budget process

make more convenient, intent to consolidate

for most part, status quo except for some increases to some devt process schedules

RD: eg rates for Aquatic Centre can read this and find them

MMgr: some mbrs of Ccl have asked wrt demolition

comparison with other Ms

JF: very nice piece of work

one place, schedules, comparison

RD: I asked re demolition

$1500

use the money for a heritage fund; to find some way to protect heritage

some disappearing

v high value of homes

high fee to deter knocking over a good home

may not be enough

looking at that

we shd look at ways to maintain heritage stock

7:55

Applicant doesn't want to have conditions

restriction on bldg use

worked here for 15 years

rezoning almost two years

C1 to C2

have existing

BC Hydro overheads

providing for next door commercial bldg

theatre and restaurant -- we also feel not appropriate

worried about retail

what about optometrist -- wd that be considered retail?

jeopardize renting out to physicians

not thinking of coffee shops

even willing to have a covenant for next ten years

don't want that restriction on that land

wonderful suggestions

G-J: some

Applicant: retail was only one we didn't agree to

Geri: question was raised on retail

PH was adjourned

verbal response was that the applicant was agreeable to including retail on the property

David Adams:  2130 Marine Dr; was uncertain if able to speak to this item but since the owner's representative has been heard, it seems appropriate that I shd also speak to the issue, particularly since she spoke about the support of the neighbours

I'm a mbr of strata ccl and from outset we were against restaurant at that corner and from outset supported a two-storey office building, has been our consistent view

not supportive of a retail proposal, that came along late in the day was put to us as a means of  our further supporting this

not what we have supported; not what we have discussed with architect, not supported at any time; what we have supported is a two-storey office bldg

Motion made by JF

RECOMMENDED:  THAT the conditions precedent to adopting Zoning Bylaw No. 2200, 1968, Amendment Bylaw No. 4371, 2004 and approving Development Permit No. 03 007, for property at 2168 Marine Drive, continue to include a Section 219 covenant that precludes the use of the property for retail purposes.

MMgr: nothing to preclude at later date, if use appropriate cd come forward

G-J: design of bldg is beautiful and an improvement definitely over what is there

a lot of hard work by owners and nbrs

the fact we are looking at precluding retail use is a direct result of the Public Hearing Process

my support for this motion is to affirm that

hopeful applicant will sign this covenant and that we'll be able to enjoy this new bldg

RECOMMENDED: THAT "Zoning ...  " be adopted.

8:05

VD: [Adoption deferred] deal with this issue after previous item resolved

8:08

This Bylaw received second reading at the January 24, 2004 Council Meeting.

KP: bylaw comes into effect January 2006 and it applies on both public and private lands

wrt CN Rail Line, it does NOT apply on those lines

CN from previous days has a provincially approved pesticide bylaw

given plan submitted to province

Peter Lineman/Langman [sp?]: representing WeedMan Lawncare, a franchise; here in WV for over 25 years

NAm's largest lawncare

representing nearly 1500 homeowners we take care of in WV

a lot of talk but scientific facts speak clearly

this bylaw does not address what meant to

what I see occurring is that you are going to drive these products underground

certain companies be evasive; don't know how be policed

been franchising down in States and across Canada

very emotional issue

cowboy landscapers -- some are not licensed

WeedMan was at the forefront of developing Integrated Pest Management in Canada

liming, aerating

have not seen any groundswell from the 1500 homes I deal with

have marketed organic programs and less than 1% want that direction

unfortunately was not able to make mtg a few weeks ago

wd like to speak before getting into third reading and vote

like timeline to be addressed

working across Canada and with clients here; the educational package you have advocating non-use, my opinion is that they are licensed federally and can be used judiciously

wd like to see more of an educational timeline

Jan 2006 is not enough time; and I have been educating; at this point have not seen the groundswell

otherwise wd advocate it

can have another emotional

one year not enough to educate cmnty

the industry is working to find organic alternatives

right now using IPM but don't think one year enough time to switch over

the organic products we're using don't give the results clients are looking for

one cmnty allowed a two- to three-year phase-in

JF: industry working for organic alternative but you don't see need or have requests?

Ans: what's occurring, some Ms across Canada -- some have adopted similar bylaws, thousands and 60 have, so small minority

we try to address customers

JF: is there a difference in price?

Ans: considerable labour issue and cost of products

problem is the function

WeedMan has purchased the rights to an organic product with beetroot, been fieldtesting and just not getting results wanted

Biz can see these bylaws coming so want to address them

Even in Port Moody, our franchise there has been marketing organic and again less than 1%

believe this is an emotional issue

a lot of facts being swept away

Mike Evison: want to speak to issue Mr Pike brought up

why CN shd be excluded

rough calculation 20km of rail lines and with 10 on each side 60 to 70 acres of land

tremendous amount of land we proposed to exclude from bylaw

may be some restrictions CN has inherited from BC Rail; not convinced; feel we shd be more persuasive for greater compliance with bylaw

told Port Moody has achieved a tighter restriction on their rail lines

at the Public Hearing two weeks ago; question about enforce the bylaw; believe can but one area not discussed is the use of landscapers in the M

I've already been referred to as cowboys; many of the landscapers in the M are not licensed; we did a study and of about 40 in M, only about half had biz licences

we must step up our control of our professional, and some not so professional, landscapers

many live far from WV

think there's a big gap

MMgr: Env Coord has identified that as an issue

on the first issue, the Rail, "allowing" them, we don't have that authority but cd, and intend to, persuade them

RD: purpose of this motion is not to pass it today, allows for more public discussion

idea wd be to refine our notions, getting cooperation

G-J: Halifax, Toronto, Vancouver, most of Quebec

Port Moody is the leader

we've been educating for last two years

Joanne Gelinas -- we cannot rely on govt re ??? and labelling

we are operating on the precautionary

a 7 - 0 vote is not emotional and our survey, most in our cmnty support this

look forward to adoption next week

JF: support and agree with what Cclr G-J said

not only have we spent a lot of time but we will continue to spend time

we know it's what our constituents want

pleased the industry developing IPM and am sure a company as reputable as the WeedMan will [comply]

PASSED

VD: Ms Reynolds--

CR: Speaking of the hwy--

VD: name and address

CR: again?  Carolanne Reynolds, Editor www.westvan.org  West Van Matters (1065 - 24th)

One of the conversations in one of the cmtes that I thought was interesting for Ccl to know about and I think all of us wd like to know about...   Evidently staff have a map of the areas in wch there cd be the possibility of slides and so that's why they went to those areas specifically, to be extra careful, wch I think is great.

When someone asked if that information cd be made public as to which areas are the ones that we have to watch and be careful about, one of the replies was, you wdn't want to worry people, might affect property values; but my concern is for Ccl to take into consideration, is that if staff do know of some areas in danger or might be in danger or whatever, that you don't want to be in the position of NV in wch they had a report or information that they did not make public, so all I'm asking is that the information wrt those areas in wch slides with extraordinary circumstances might cause a problem cd be made public and to reassure citizens.

VD: I'm going take that under advisement

CR: tyvm.  So under advisement for how long? when are we going to find out?

EB, Dir/Engg: not aware of any map that the District has so not sure where information came from but wd be happy to talk to Ms R some other time

We don't have a map that identifies specific hazards or specific geotechnical risks

given there were schools, lots of children, was a slope, thought it was prudent to look at those areas however there is no map so there is no information that we're not willing to share with the public.

If we had that we certainly wd

MMgr: we can provide some information on our website as to the general areas we looked at as part of our due diligence during the rainy period

CR: that wd be great

VD: --, Ms Reynolds, -- reason I'm looking blank is b/c I was unaware there were any dangerous areas in WV
