www.WestVan.org

+ So sad former NV mayor Marilyn Baker passed away so early; had occasion to meet her but briefly when I was on Ccl however impressed by her honesty and fairness -- rare and valuable in politics.

+ Also Squadron Leader Philip Leith just passed (92), funeral at St Francis in the Wood 1pm Saturday Nov 18; a monarchist and memorable character at last year's RoyalTea-by-the-Sea.

+ OOOO! it can get windy on the wet coast -- Emergency Office quickly went into high gear.

West Vancouver Police would like to advise any residents who were impacted by the recent severe weather conditions that they can obtain updated information by contacting the following phone number -- The West Vancouver Emergency Information Telephone Line 604-904-7360. SEE MORE INFO IN INFObits/UPDATES

+ DWV's special ccl mtg on Ev Dr Tues Nov 14 will not be broadcast by Shaw; according to Shaw probably not the Public Hearing on Dec 4 at KMC either.

+ gRUMBLE+

QUESTION: Why are so many items on this agenda not available??? The Nov 6 minutes will not be provided till 'on-table', ie we won't get to see them before the mtg when Ccl deals with them. Same for the new terms of reference for Standing Cmtes! and the group daycare in residential areas report. Why not wait and put them on next agenda? Even then, the soonest we get to see items is Thursday evening.

*** THIS ISSUE:

= MAIN ITEMS on Ccl Mtg Agenda Monday Nov 20: Agenda was not available until Friday afternoon, then Nov 6 Minutes not available at all, will be provided 'on-table'!; even Terms of Reference for the Standing Cmtes will be 'on-table'! as well Daycare report; Kiwanis Tribute Tree Program; WV Equestrian Ctr; Lighthouse Park Mgmt Plan; Hollyburn Cabin Transfers; 6015 Eagleridge DP for subdiv; Third Quarter Report; Dundarave Landing Parking; Daycare in Residential Areas; DVPA 6080 Blink Bonnie; Correspondence -- still no links!!!

=== UPDATES ===

+++ GET INVOLVED!

Help give direction to your community.

Encouraging news wrt the restructuring of cmtes and recommendations/advice to Ccl about M affairs. A bit of a rocky beginning with lack of notice for the actual cmte drawing up the guidelines but at least it's a start. It wd also help if the M website had a list of all the cmtes in one place -- they're either separated or missing some from the list I printed in last week's WVM.

The agenda for the next Cmnty Engagement Cmte mtg has been posted: 4pm Monday Nov 20th at the M Hall; residents may attend to hear what's planned and even comment (PQP).

Here's info made public in Tidings:

A New Approach to Community Engagement

West Vancouver has expanded how it seeks advice, and taps into the expertise of residents wishing to work on council policies and projects. As community leaders and volunteers, we value your time and have adapted our structure to better meet your ability to contribute. By forming working groups on specific issues, each with a councillor and staff lead, council has highlighted its priorities, and you will drive the process. By expanding the use of technology, more residents may keep themselves informed, and provide input directly to the working groups.

Working Groups - Small groups of five to nine members will advise on implementation of issues under consideration. Meeting schedules and procedures will be more flexible than in the past.

Community Forums - Hot topics such as Arts and Culture, Ambleside Town Plan, or the Housing Dialogue, will have forums created for each topic. Interested residents will be able to join an electronic registry, giving them access to reports and discussion papers, provide their input electronically, and participate in special meetings and focus groups, both electronically and in person.

External Community Groups - A number of Community Groups already exist independently from the District, and have been active in the community for some time. New guidelines strengthen the roles these groups play and recognize the ongoing and invaluable contribution they make.

Special Council Task Forces - Council may continue to appoint special Task Forces as required to study and report on specific high-profile issues, such as the Fiscal Sustainability Task Force. these are struck for a limited period, and then disbanded.

Council Standing Advisory Committees, Tri-Municipal, and Special Committees - A number of external or special committees currently exist, such as the Finance and Audit Committee, Community Engagement Committee, and Tri-Municipal Committees such as the Family Court and Youth Justice Committee, and there will be no further changes [owing] to this new approach.

Next Steps:

The Community Engagement Committee, chaired by Mayor Goldsmith-Jones, will oversee the transition to the new model. Behind the scenes, the technology for electronic forums is targeted to be ready by the new year. This new approach is groundbreaking -- it will allow more residents to become involved in ways that fit their busy schedules, and still contribute to the community in their various areas of expertise.

If you want to be considered for a working group, or sign up for email updates on your areas of interest, contact the Municipal Clerk at sscholes@westvancouver.ca, or call 604-925-7045.

The Power is not yet restored and may not be until tomorrow. Water quality also being assessed. The evacuation order has not been lifted yet.

Clean-up

Crews were working all night and continue today to clear trees that have fallen on roads and on or near homes. We do not have a total count of the number of homes that have been damaged yet.

Insurance Claims

A Recovery Claim Centre will be set up at Municipal Hall Council Chamber at 10:00am November 17th for residents to come speak to District and Provincial staff about damage to their homes.

BC Hydro

The latest update from BC Hydro is that homes in Gleneagles, Whytecliff, and Horseshoe Bay should have power within the next few hours.

Subject: West Vancouver Media Release - Water Turbidity Affected by Storm

Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2006 11:27:12 -0800

West Vancouver, BC: The District of West Vancouver advises residents that due to the storm on November 15th, the turbidity of the drinking water supplied to homes through the water distribution system exceeds acceptable standards. The turbidity levels of the Capilano and Seymour reservoirs are in excess of 10 Nethelometric Turbidity Units (NTU). Water quality guidelines call for a maximum level of one NTU. Turbidity levels for supplies coming from Sunset, Nelson Creek and Eagle Lake are considerably lower, below six NTU. Residents will notice a considerable difference in the colour of the water depending on the source.

In response, the District has maximized the supply entering the distribution system from Eagle Lake, and more residents who are normally serviced primarily by GVRD sources are now receiving water from Eagle Lake. Disinfection levels have been adjusted accordingly, and District staff continue to monitor water quality closely. Residents will be advised of any change to the current situation. The medical health officer has advised that residents may choose to boil their water or choose an alternate source.

It is noted that the Provincial Health Officer advises all British Columbians with compromised immune systems (such as HIV, organ or bone transplants, chemotherapy or medications that suppress the immune system) to avoid drinking water from any surface water source unless it has been boiled, filtered or distilled. Water supplies on the North Shore, Greater Vancouver and, in fact nearly all British Columbia do come from such surface water sources as lakes, rivers, and streams. This recommendation is emphasized during periods of elevated turbidity.

Water Quality Questions & Answers

What Is Turbidity?

Turbidity is a measure of water clarity and is influenced by the suspension in water of fine particles such as sediment and organic matter. Turbidity in the water supply can result in tap water that appears cloudy or discoloured. Sediment is most often transported into drinking water reservoirs by run-off caused by rainfall, and is most common during the fall and winter months.

Why Can Turbidity Be a Problem?

Microorganisms (i.e. bacteria, viruses) can "hide" amongst the particles found in turbid water. This can lead to a multiplication of the microorganisms. During turbidity events, additional chlorine must be added to ensure adequate disinfection.

EGG-TAKE AT THE TENDERFOOT HATCHERY

This is the start of the life-cycle of the salmon which we will raise at our hatchery on Nelson Creek. As in previous years, the staff of the Tenderfoot hatchery (898 3657) in Brackendale, north of Squamish will be gathering brood stock and helping us extract eggs and milt.

This year's target is 400K chum eggs. This is an exciting albeit somewhat messy operation but as streamkeepers you should not miss this opportunity to participate. You will meet other volunteers from West Vancouver and Bowen Island. Fisheries and Oceans Canada staff will explain to you this vital step in the salmon hatchery operation.

The EGG-TAKE is scheduled for Saturday, November 18th at 10 AM at the Tenderfoot Hatchery. The operation will take two to three hours and takes place outdoors. In the event of inclement weather dress accordingly. You will find gloves helpful in any event. If you are interested in sharing transportation or participate in a car-pool please contact Hugh Hamilton: 922 7828, email hugheah@dowco.com or Kurt Peiffer: 922 9109, email: kpeiffer@shaw.ca

2. ADOPTION OF MINUTES

2. Adoption of October 30, 2006 Regular Council Meeting Minutes

{See last week's WVM. Briefly, this is plain ridiculous.

In PQP for questions it has comments were made and for answers it has comments were made.

Does this give anyone information? and Ccl passed it. How wd someone absent know what transpired?

Will possibly write on this.}

REPORTS

4. Evelyn Drive Area Official Community Plan and Zoning Amendment Bylaws

Attached is the November 6, 2006 report to Council from the Manager of Planning which was received by Council at its November 6, 2006 meeting.

As at November 10, 2006, Staff are working with Mr. Ray Spaxman and the Municipal Solicitors to clarify the formula related to mix and unit size within the unit limit of 350 to 360 dwellings and a floor area maximum of 510,000 square feet as per Option C in the Spaxman study. The final version of the Bylaws will be available at the Council meeting to be held Tuesday, November 14, 2006 at 7:00 pm in the Municipal Hall Council Chamber for consideration of setting a date for a public hearing in December 2006.

Mayor: purpose of mtg tonight is to introduce the bylaw, set a date for the Public Hearing, expected to be Dec 4 at the KMC; by holding a sp mtg tonight allows us to have the OCP and Zoning amendment bylaws three weeks in advance; Ccl comfortable enough time for public to become familiar with them. Ccl does not customarily debate a motion at first reading, pleased Geri Boyle [Planning staff] and Ray Spaxman [consultant] here to provide introduction to the Ccl reports.

Do have a speaking list.

Sop: may I be excused, b/c of conflict of interest?

Mayor: yes. [to audience] The purpose of the mtg is to set a PH date; if you have questions about process, fine but Ccl will not be debating the content [of the bylaws]

Ms Boyle's and Mr Spaxman's [remarks may be helpful first]

Geri Boyle (Planning staff): The material you have today is very close to what you had last Monday; clarified some wording, from solicitor and public.

first is number of units permitted

Spaxman study referred to Option C as having 350 units but the bylaws you saw last week did not even have a total number

We have revised the zoning bylaw to 349 units; also revised the OCP instead of saying 'up to 360 units', now say up to 350; it was not Mr Spaxman's intent to lock in a total number of units, for reasons of clarity and understanding, staff is recommending the bylaw proceed with those numbers...

The map [pointing] refers to lands being rezoned; Millennium owns one lot in that area, I'll mark that in pink.

780 Keith Rd was part of that package but the report looks at that as a grouping of single fam, so left the zoning on that prop as RS5, and applied CD1 to the rest of the land owned by Mllnm.

Comment last Monday the report didn't meet with Mr Spaxman's report so I'd like to introduce Mr Spaxman to speak

Ray Spaxman (RS): explored numerous options for this area

recommended in June Option C; my report detailed the reasons for that option

you have since instructed staff to draw up bylaws to implement that area plan; those docs are before you for first reading

was asked last week to review those bylaws and comment wrt their accuracy wrt my recommended option

I have reviewed them thoroughly with staff and believe they have done an excellent job accommodating the main principles of the plan

My main message is that while there are subtleties and complexities, I believe bylaws are an appropriate interpretation.

7:13

>Duncan Holmes: sold and moved away from where I'd lived for 50 years; live among wires/lines in White Rock

hoped to be able to buy and come back to this area; been four years

what the heck happened?

Millennium opportunist; OCP cd have been clearer

gutsy; everything went sideways; if WV didn't want it why put in OCP?

politics, nimbyism wanting to be all things to all ppl, I don't know

on a hillside cd have density and views; bring down density to what; bring down density up go the prices

time; had to find homes elsewhere

no, I'm not being paid to be here, drove myself from Tsawwassen

As I wrote in Western Living -- fait accompli, ghosts will dance forever

I wd shed some tears but not regret

pls very soon new Ev Dr from mire and decay, vandalized homes we lived in and loved and something better can rise from their foundations

thank you; I'd like to come home

>Frank Rutter: seems these bylaws are a work in progress since we've had changes in last few days, few hours

maybe not rush, maybe delay first reading; I know can be changed but hard

applaud changes made in last week

scaling back to 349; closing loophole that wd have allowed up to ten storeys

yet these still allow hirises, six storeys and cd go to eight

bylaws shd be prepared the way staff wants them and the way ccl wants them, not the way the dvpr wants them

if there's a latitude in these bylaws, and there still is, any dvpr will build to the maximum and can't blame them

the present version of the OCP, extensive input, now limits to lowrise but not the way I see [this] bylaw

re Cmnty Benefits, glad there are some; do regret do not include space for seniors and a measure of affordability

>Helena Galas: ex resident of Ev Dr (on Folkestone Way now); just wd like to speak on the process

last time on Monday, when I heard one cclr will not be here and another not here; progress cd go on forever

in Calgary last week, my mother passed away; brought me this magazine asking me what's happening in WV

ppl taking such a long time; here possible excuses; unbearable for WV

it's not a disease, needs to be addressed

asked the assessor why taxes going up when nothing being addressed, no lighting, garbage

well, when shopping ctr was built this was blocked by roads b/c of possible extension of PkRoyal and residential living for those who worked in shopping ctr and close to transportation

even then ppl knew -- same thing is happening in this proposal

tired of coming to these mtgs, hearing the same thing over and over; pls address this issue

>Patti Young: the OCP amendments have legitimacy brought thru work Ray Spaxman and cmte done and reflected what done

he did not speak to amenities; disturbed amenities [worked out] between staff and Millnm

looks like bait and switch; beside myself $2m in cash and allocate nothing, no underground utilities; benefits also for hardship inflicted on the cmnty; underground utilities were in from the get-go and it's missing from this list of amenities

two and a half million $ not as a benefit but as a setoff to years of noise, nuisance, and inconvenience to us on Sentinel Hill not to be seen as a benefit

cd list of amenities go back to public before first reading?

willing to argue at PH but first reading v late in the game

SJN: the package has been put forward -- [based on] Spaxman report

do expect cmnty will be commenting; will want amended

believe Ccl and staff open to suggestions during PH process

Mayor: keeping our options open; open mind

>Gordon Ward-Hall: agree with this proposal; think 350 units best solution; agree with most of proposal; couple of comments

Clause 205 states that six storeys on north and eight on south face but then describes minor variations allowed -- minor defined as two add'l storeys or 20 ft wchever is less; that's one clause I do not agree with, two storeys or 20ft are not minor, that's 33% of six storeys

nor does it say whether allowed to pierce envelope or sit above; not described anywhere

fully disagree that two add'l storeys are minor -- it's not, it's 33%

original OCP only low rises [four] allowed; wd stretch it to six on N side but not another two on top of that

Ask clarification: Clause Policy H2 has 510[Ksf] of housing allowed, then Clauses [gives nos 104.x] state 363 floor areas and 145, but only place Floor Areas described is in Clause 103.05 and those are net, whereas 510 etc gross floor areas and doesn't say that, otherwise confusing.

Mayor: Ms Boyle?

Geri Boyle: quote from Mr Spaxman Study p 38

no devt will be permitted to penetrate unless view studies at design stage....not harming views

not exceed two storeys or 20 ft

>B Pitman: I withdraw, will speak instead at the PH

Mayor: Mr Verdicchio

>Fulvio Verdicchio: ongoing saga, quite an experience, enjoyed being part of it; don't really see real benefits to cmnty at large or within

benefit pkg has been worked on by the Planning Dept; was under impression M&Ccl had a cmte working on benefits for any devt within WV with a percentage rate; was I wrong?

Mayor: that work is ongoing--

CAO: have group of staff working on that particular issue

wd like to state that the suggestion that the cmnty benefit shd in fact reflect uplift, increased value of the land, has been applied in this particular case

FV: that's pretty bizarre

going from 57 lots to 350; say uplift $200m and benefit pkg we're getting is $2.5m -- it's a joke!

Mayor: not a joke, raised a good point, importance of discussing at PH

FV: we're basically getting v little as a benefit pkg; we in nbrd getting no benefits at all. Understood getting undergrounding of services -- that is not going to take place. Seven years of construction and not benefits? I want devt there, need some resolution but within the bylaw

shdn't put off to during PH; or 2009; same with envelope, minor adjustments

we're dealing with a v sensitive area, Sentinel Hill is really THE entrance to WV

don't see adding two storeys to any apt is minor

Now [sarcastically] let's look at beautiful job Mllnm has done on the Park Royal [Hotel] site b/c I think that's what we really don't want to have on Ev Dr. We certainly don't want that mass and scale.

shd be treading v carefully not have first reading unless bylaws themselves v clear; what can, cannot be done; what benefits shd be given to the ppl that live in the area and going to be affected by additions on an apt block

want M&Ccl to be aware and it to be a benefit to everybody

CAO: M Planner may wish to comment on overall value of cmnty benefits for public's info

GB: briefly; uplift in land value, not to do with value Mllnm will be selling prop at once constructed

we've looked at industry and sq ftg costs for multifam sites, comprehensive devt sites

value of these 57 lots, difference in values, that's uplift; can't remember numbers;

{you mean this info isn't in the report??? or not in your notes/background for this mtg b/c rather important fact and likely to be asked... let's hope in add'l information in preparation for PH.}

values we've given $2.5m, $1m in upgrade of services

30 rental housing units in perpetuity does have an economic value, not return as from condo

at least over $1m in today's dollars; so that amounts to $4.5m

have to take off fact that services not in place so at least $4m and cd be double that (haven't got final number); services Mllnm have to put in

So we have close to $9m in cmnty benefits

perhaps in prep for PH set down in memo; make sure posted on website so public can review

{YES YES YES PLEASE!}

>Elaine Fonseca: prez of ADRA

hearing confusion about services and benefits, no one seems to know what's going on, least of all the public

we've had overwhelming crowds, in hallway, and said did not want high density

most of us have not seen this

heard this report was being dealt with within hours of this mtg, don't think it's fair to us affected by this major devt around Xmas time

you're proposing to have a PH Dec 4, why not in January, why have to have it within three weeks' time?

you get your reports in order, we get to know what's going to happen

Ev Dr is a critical part of our cmnty, why in Dec when we cd have it in January?

> CR, Editor, WVM, slow to come up: thank you; thought there'd be a long list of speakers and I'd be way down on the list! I wasn't going to speak except when I heard there was $2m going to go to DWV, so I just have a couple of points to make

One is I'm extremely pleased you're taking uplift into consideration; I've been fighting for that for ten years -- so I'm glad uplift's being taken into consideration, and congratulate you on that, however having seen some of the estimates of the economics at the cmte mtgs Spaxman held, [showed] there seemed to be some disagreement over the values given. So all I wd say to that is I think perhaps we need some time to verify whether the uplift figures that are being given are things that we agree with. I heard Ms Boyle giving an example and of course, just having picked this [up] off the table there, I can't say anything and I wd want to get someone in the industry to give some expertise [and/on the] evaluation of the uplift figures being used b/c there can be not just the value of the land but the value of what's being put into it

{clearly not quite what I meant to say but that's how it came out!}

and as long as we understand what criteria you are using that wd be valid, and right now we might not know or we might not agree [with amounts either]

The next thing that alarmed me, wch is why I decided to come up, is when I heard $2m was being given in CASH as one of the cmnty benefits for this upzoning for Ev Dr. Well, I nearly fell off my chair b/c what I wd want, is assurance from all of you, is that $2m is not going to go into the new cmnty centre b/c you're short of funds for it -- b/c that's what wd be tempting for some ppl to do since it's going to be more than was initially thought. So I wd definitely want to make sure that we do look at the cmnty benefits, and that if there is a decision for cash that the public gets to say what they want that cash spent on, b/c it is for the cmnty.

So I agree with someone saying we shd have a list of the cmnty benefits. I don't think I heard that that was fully explored by the Spaxman cmte, but I do think it wd be of benefit for it to be put out to the public to list the cmnty benefits they wd like to see if it's double or triple -- now it's 57, say what they wd want to see if 100 or 200 or whatever -- so the public gets to say their priorities and what benefits they want

As to whether it shd go to PH right away, the thing is Dec 4th you're already into Xmas and ppl going away, and you also will be the beginning of January

I don't know -- if you get a lot of ppl you hold over PHs, so I don't know what you're going to do and how many ppl will be speaking -- but it wd seem to me, it might even hasten the procedure once you get to PH, if you have a lot of these choices out in the public with the public's opinion so that when the bylaw comes back during the PH, you're closer to something that's actually going to fly, rather than right now. Ppl haven't read this, ppl don't know about it, they don't know what the uplift is, they don't know what the cmnty benefits are.

Going to be ppl with oodles of questions even on Dec 4th

so I haven't read it so I can't comment; I'm sure it's good quality, but even if the info is there I really don't think the majority of the ppl who are going to be concerned and want to speak know enough about it now or might even know by Dec 4th.

So in the interests of getting as much information out I wd recommend the uplift figures be out, the cmnty benefits be out, get input from the public so that we're really close to running with it instead of-- I still hear so much uncertainty

So my aim is really, when I say have the PH later, not that I think it wd stall it, but in fact I think it wd go faster, and wd be a more pleasant process for us all. Thank you.

> Elinor Thomas: won't bore you with what was said for last two years

some not sold; what's happening with the other six props and what

limit on building above Keith Rd? zoned as duplexes? fourplexes?

GB: the grouping of houses are zoned RS5, six homes not acquired by Mllnm + 1, those wd retain current zoning of RS5 so no change

ET: about breaking the envelope; haven't read it; just picked it up tonight

wd you put a ten- or 12-storey building down there

then come to affected nbr and say we plan to break envelope here, how defend yourself? now don't seem getting v far yet?

if you want to raise envelope--

GB: will be up to devpr to bring out specific plan; it's technically limiting the extent of any variation

devpr wd hv to prepare detailed plans, architectural, then view impact analysis wch wd be the subject of a nbrhd mtg; wd hv pictures from your home

ET: seems to me going round and round; ppl been coming around [to my house] and Mr Spaxman came in last Dec and said may lose a bit of my view

lived 39 years in WV and never had to defend my view and property -- and I've spent 2.5 years and I cd have learned a language

Mayor: we've taken a lot of time; cd reduce what we ask for going into PH

we think getting to Option C and the prescriptive nature of this bylaw represents an awful lot of work by staff

ET: I'd like to believe you but I've seen it many times in many reports but I don't know if I can believe anybody until it's a done deal and I've lost my view

SJN: these two storeys did not come from Mllnm

est'd envelope and six storeys but when detailed masterplan... some can actually improve a view, put a storey to give a view

cd be part of PH process; then all bldgs will be held and that may affect someone's view

ET: maybe we shd change the name of Ev Dr, and put it behind us

>Keith Pople: really pleased to see this devt is progressing and I can see from the amount of work done; rezoning and bylaws a lot of work done

but all put into one level of bldg -- 350 units, Option C and I hope we're open to other bldg level alternatives

I was on the Ev Dr G Cmte and as Ccl was informed [earlier], the first preference was Option B, 250, not C that was in Spaxman Report

all agreed shd be devd to improve Ev Dr area and diversity of housing

exacerbate traffic and congestion in our existing roads, parks, and facilities

even option B, 255 will increase the popn by 500 and demand for services 1.2% in overall nbrhd, equivalent to about three years' growth, and all in one part of WV

improved access wd be required and a traffic engr and consultant said the max density this cd accommodate is Option C -- this is a maximum, not an optimum

we shd hv good access

wd be much more approp if we gave ourselves some wriggle room and an alternative, less

the FAR in the amending bylaw are excessive and request Ccl address what given earlier

Warner: live in next nbrhd; guess ev in WV shd be interested b/c affected

the gateway, entrance of WV -- not eyesore but beautification

am up on hill, many ppl I talk to happy with way it is now, Plan C makes the most economic sense for 21 acres, green space av; see area as it is now maybe speed up change of view, shd be permitted bulldozed make it better looking

this devt, three plus years; have a master plan, traffic infrastructure finishing whole project

all finished pretty well at same time as TWay; now a trouble spot

speedy go ahead to view the prop, get demolition permits in place in support of this planning (C)

JC: half a dozen recommendations here, suggest one at a time; Move 1

{cd not copy and paste from DWV website; will try to provide all six in next issue for info for PH.}

VV: asks if consulted sufficiently; but we wrongly interpreted the result

think up to option B -- leave [as is] or duplexes or at most Option B

Mayor: we don't typically debate; do we or don't we feel we've consulted according--

VV: we haven't; if we haven't understood then we haven't

RD: now 349 and now 508Ksf? prop on Keith changes

GB: 508K

RD: and 349?

MOTION CARRIED

JC: Move 2

VV: spent quite a lot of time looking at the OCP since in connection

benefit from understanding how this moves legally

the OCP is inviolable, next to Cmnty Charter -- needs more votes to change

and right at beginning -- cannot be inconsistent with OCP policies

this proposes to amend the section

section at beginning, framework for action -- on purpose

speaks clearly about our growth, but approving this takes us way beyond our growth rate of 1% and way beyond what we said in election and it says 150 units per year, 1%

Ev Dr is taking more than that, twice

but if you look at Upper Lands, 1600 acres, [zoned] 2.5 per acre comes out to 4000

in the framework for action -- says WV to 2031 projection to 50,000 but take to 22,000 we have 17K now and if we subtract 4K, that leaves 500 for everybody according to our own

17 but round it to 20, this is over ten years of growth!

don't see how we can do this without changing the policy in the framework

I don't understand how we can believe we're legally in the clear without engaging the cmnty in the growth rate

since talking about process, we shd talk about growth rate

if cmnty wants to talk about this fine, but there's been no consultation about growth rate with them

Mayor: time frame

SJN: refers to anticipated rate of growth in OCP is .5% or less per year and what we've experienced in last 15 years

Upper Lands, there's been Whitby and S Marr and Deer Ridge

won't nearly build out their prop in next 20 years, don't expect 100 years but not all to 2031

capacity is always more than the av growth rate

in expensive cmnty, growth rate less; this together with Amb mixed use rate will av in 0.5%

we will provide the info to Ccl

Mayor: amending the OCP is serious, Ccl is taking its direction in OCP designating Ev Dr as a special area, so we are well within our rights; the right thing to do for our cmnty

CAO: our solicitors have reviewed these bylaws and you are within your legal rights

JC: Move 5

PH, Monday 7pm in Kay Meek Theatre

RD: sev ppl phoned me this weekend saying hold this over to Jan, said wd be harder to make changes; checked into that; persuaded that not true

questions raised, can adjourn PH into January, did before; convinced we can and will listen to the public on this and PH the place to do this

other thing raised about Option B, some on cmte preferred that but was C and cmte recommended C and we've set at 319 and the others are permanent rentals so we did lower the density and we did provide for affordable, lower size, rental

will listen to that, cmnty benefit, underground wring

wd not like to go later than Dec 4 so will vote for it; been at it for four years

come down from 500 units to 319 plus some public benefit rental units

think here we shd be between 200 and 300

VV: re affordable housing, it's market rents -- nothing affordable or subsidized

whereas will be rental, doesn't solve affordable, it's market rental

do have concerns:

heard public want to have a cmnty benefit bylaw in place before; really think we shd move that Dec 4 date to a later date -- ppl want later and ppl haven't had time to read this; received today; not clear on cmnty benefits bylaw; don't have traffic study; prov has report in draft form; think all that shd be in front of public before PH

JF: a lot of time anticipating this; I too will be supporting the bylaw; prepare ourselves, have had a lot of consultation

now listen to public response to this proposal and public have opp to respond to this in a timely fashion, Ccl to amend

for applicant, finally reach closure

all waiting for this whatever decision Ccl makes

will be more than surprised if handled before Xmas break; think issues will be raised, questions asked, staff likely need time to respond; experience tells me will be dealing with this for some time, hope to be able to deal with before end of Jan

sooner we get started, sooner we can conclude; ppl understand, clarity of the bylaws

RD: if I cd reply -- rentals ARE considered a cmnty benefit and I also added we had 10% smaller units wch wd be more affordable; and as for cmnty benefits, we will be listening on this, and we'll listen until, as long as necessary on this, and so it's possible we cd end up in Jan with the PH. Who knows? but it's perfectly possible.

Mayor: thank you, Ccl. Call question on PH and date.

CARRIED

JC: Move 6

Mayor: this is the notification area, expanded

SSch: correct

CARRIED

Mayor: that concludes our Ev Dr item

CAO: just to make sure that ev in the gallery is clear, maybe I cd ask the M Clk if the legal requirements for any of those motions to go forward have been met.

SSch: I will confirm majority of all Ccl mbrs required, that's four, and that has been complied with tonight.

8:21

Item 4.1 -- Cmte of Whole Mtg scheduled for Nov 20 be cancelled

and a Special Regular Mtg of Ccl be held on Nov 20

VV: might one enquire why? Cmte of Whole valuable and we're missing them

Mayor: Ms Scholes?

SSch: we only had two delegations scheduled and a number of biz items, so decided to roll into biz mtg

Mayor: believe Cmte of the Whole Nov 27?

CAO: we have a number of items wch won't be available until Nov 27 more appropriately for Cmte of the Whole; will have better idea in next day or so, likely back on 20th and say Cmte of the Whole 27th.

Mayor: right; valuable tool; trying to be flexible

CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS

5. Consent Agenda Items - Reports and Correspondence
RECOMMENDED:
THAT the Consent Agenda item as follows be approved:

=B7 Item 7 - Correspondence List.

Sop: want to discuss 7:10; ask why Reports and Corres

Mayor: don't think we have reports tonight

RD: separate thing

SSCh: no reports, normally have

Correspondence listed, usual practice; this agenda

Sop: then 7

CAO: for clarification, Consent Agenda anticipates Correspondence then reports from staff

in this particular case none, so your motion is to approve a consent agenda with Corres only

you said 7.10 so will be excluded

8:25

6. REPORTS FOR CONSENT AGENDA -- No items received.

CORRESPONDENCE LIST FOR CONSENT AGENDA [complete list was in last agenda]

8:26 Ccl discussed TransLink letters:

7.10 E. James, October 19, 2006, regarding Las Vegas and the TransLink Mess

Sop: always look to protection of our cmnty, economic, social, and envtal wellbeing

draw attention to TransLink and their figures; no indication whether on target or not

reliance on gas tax revenues, reliance on ridership and if that ridership not met; impact will be horrendous through prop tax

prop tax to TransLink, no clue and direction they're going

Mayor Walton or Pat Jacobsen shd give some indication to this Ccl, NSh, start getting some figures

where these monies are coming from

if don't meet ridership, don't get enough gas tax; ask them or have them present themselves here

have Mr Walton--

Mayor: he is the rep

CAO: considered imminent, two weeks or two months

Mayor: TransLink hasn't even the ability to commit so we're in a holding pattern; facing significant costs; perhaps I'll follow up with the Minister

Sop: prop assessments, we're going to be dinged

TransLink have this open door policy, keep designing and don't know where money's coming from

CAO: better be careful what we wish for -- might see tolls on all the bridges!

issues of mutual interest -- will scope those out; dev plans as how to address them

Sop: thing that concerns me

challenge S Pk Royal when and if; redo of bridge over Cap Riv; traffic ways

whether in fact working with Sq based on realism rather than dangling carrots

Ms getting along, straightforward is the way I operate and expect others to

basic things to deal with

some 45 years, some semblance of what they'll do in S lands; what they'll do and impact on WV

realities there, and work on

Mayor: health care, arts & cultures, devt

the only way to tackle these challenges

gigantic step forward, also v concrete

topics, issues, where are your priorities; the three Ms across NSh and Sq

a lot of consensus reached quite quickly; working

falls to CAOs to shape that into something we can work with

exciting work to do; shd be pleased with the momentum and how far we've come inside one year

wonderful evening, historic; seeing the four of us working together on same wavelength

on signboard, had ways of voicing our opinions

wise to approach in cooperative way rather than confrontational way -- and that's what we achieved

8:40

9. PUBLIC QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS

Bill Vaughan: couple of questions on procedures

wrt ccl mtgs and workshops; looked at LGA, Cmnty Chrtr, and ccl procedures; two kinds in LGA, reg and sp ccl mtgs

understand a lot of workshops held with cclrs, are these considered sp mtgs?

Mayor: Mr Stuart

CAO: we can provide a written response, but generally Act does provide for workshops under sp circumstances, can point you to legislation

BV: so what's the definition of a ccl mtg?

in this chamber? or certain number of cclrs present?

CAO: can perhaps meet with you; technically complex; requirements Ccl must comply with in order to meet, including providing notification that kind of thing

Other circumstances, can meet not considered a formal mtg of ccl, most often used for planning; no decisions made and no minutes kept; I can sit down with you and walk through the legislation

BV: tyvm; that was why I was asking b/c as I understand that a lot of v interesting topics are discussed at these mtgs, are these workshops open to public?

CAO: generally speaking no, can discuss further with Cclr Vaughan if there's an issue there

BV: tyvm. My second question is partly to do with Ev Dr, so Cclr Sop can recuse himself

My question is, does this redevt come under "replotting scheme" since it involves public and private property being amalgamated into one lot and then redivided b/c I believe the Ev Dr road wd in fact change and some public prop wd be handed over to the public sector. In that case does this come under a replotting scheme?

GB: we anticipate the devpr wd apply for subdiv and wd be some lot consolidation and road dedications that wd take place

The term replotting scheme has a v specific meaning under the LGA and this wd not fall under that process or that whole scheme

BV: cdn't find any definition in the LGA of replotting scheme, whole section part 28, but no definition

GB: haven't read it in a while but can provide you with details on that

one of the leaders in replotting was DNV -- don't do it very often --, it was a scheme/legislation rarely applied/used in the province.

BV: tyvm
