The Notice of Public Hearing is included as Attachment 1 and forms part of these Minutes. The Mayor read the Public Hearing Statement, which outlined the rules under which the Hearing would proceed.

The Mayor then called for speakers for the first time. David Uria, 19564 116B Avenue, Pitt Meadows, said his property backed onto the property in question. Although previously he had been opposed to the rezoning of the property, he had come to a written agreement with the property owner as to where the house would be situated on the lot, the majority of the trees would remain and the proponent had agreed to construct an 8 ft. fence separating the two properties.

Staff indicated that an 8 ft. fence would not be permitted under the current Zoning Bylaw, but would require a Council-approved variance. The Mayor called for speakers for the second time. David Uria, 19564 116B Avenue, Pitt Meadows, said it did not matter to him what the barrier was between the two properties as long as it was 8 ft. in height. However, he noted that a hedge would not work as there wasn’t room for it, considering the existing hemlock trees. The Mayor called for speakers for the third time and, hearing none, declared the Public Hearing closed at 7:45 p.m.

CARRIED.

1.1 Council Policy Review - Part 7 - Parks & Leisure Services Cont’d. The Director of Parks and Facilities said as part of the reasoning for amending Policy H02, in addition to the number of benches (132), there were concerns by Operations staff regarding the benches and on-going maintenance of the dykes; as well, the Inspector of Dykes said the main purpose of the dykes was for protection of the lands behind the dykes; the secondary use was for recreation. Discussion ensued regarding other ways of recognizing a citizen who has died. Parks and Leisure Services has a Park Gift Program which offers the public the opportunity to purchase a park bench, a water fountain, a picnic table, or sponsor a tree. The bench is a gift from the family to the community, and after which the sponsor has no legal ownership of the bench or the land in which it is situated. MOVED by Councillor B. Bell, SECONDED by Councillor D. Murray, THAT: D. Staff be directed to amend Policy H02 as recommended,

except that staff will continue to work with property owners adjacent to the dykes who may wish to purchase a recognition bench, to try to find suitable a location where a bench can be accommodated within the existing policy guidelines.

From: Karen Georgi <To: Kim Grout Cc: Deb Walters Sent: Tue Sep 18 14:52:08 2012 Subject: Bonson Road Panhandle Development

Hi Kim, Can you please include this for tonight's meeting regarding the proposed rezoning of the Bonson Road property? Thanks, Karen Georgi To Mayor and Council, Unfortunately I cannot attend tonight's council meeting but once again want to go on the record as being opposed to a Panhandle development on 11631 Bonson Road. I'm sure you have all of the information from past meetings regarding this property and I've attached two documents which I read to council in the past. My reasons for not wanting this development to go forward haven't changed, so I will leave you to review my past submissions. One question I do have and would like answered at tonight's meeting is, can the property owner (if this rezoning doesn't go through) tear down the house, cut down the trees and build two houses? I've been told on more than one occasion that this is what will happen if the panhandle development is not approved. I think two houses with frontage would be a better option but a property owner who will be impacted by the lack of privacy due to the trees being cut, does not think it is a better option. Thank you for once again allowing me to have my voice heard. Karen Georgi 19559 115B Avenue Pitt Meadows.

ATTACHMENT 3:

Karen Georgi                       

  July 19, 2011 

19559 115B Avenue 

I have spoken on numerous occasions against this development and now hopefully, this will be the last 

time. 

 I looked through the additional information given to council at the June 28 committee meeting and I 

have additional feedback. The panhandle on 195A Street that was referenced in the report as a 

comparable development, is not comparable. That panhandle is tucked away at the end of a cul de sac, 

with the house being built more beside the original house rather than behind. The proposed panhandle 

on Bonson Road is a traditional panhandle with a house being built behind the existing house. Also 

South Bonson is a main street not a side street. I looked at the Pitt Meadows zoning map on the website 

and found there are no other panhandle lots on the main streets of Pitt Meadows, none on Lougheed, 

Harris, Hammond, Bonson or Airport Way other than a P‐1/C‐3 zoning on Harris Road, a commercial 

development. There are no other panhandles in Pitt Meadows that are comparable to this one. 

The non viable alternative, extending 116 A is said not to be acceptable because it creates double 

frontage lots. They are proposing to run a driveway along side private back yards which will create 

double frontage lots to the affected properties, as stated in the report this is not generally supported in 

the City.  

My family moved to Pitt Meadows in 1974 and I have seen the community continuously changing, the 

house I live in today didn’t exist back then. When the area was being developed, more thought should 

have been put into what the end result would be. A plan should have been in place for a traditional 

subdivision but you can’t go back to fix the mistakes of the past. I understand the need for infill to 

preserve the ALR, however I don’t see the need to fill in all of the gaps. This proposed development may 

comply with the policies and guidelines for a panhandle development but that does not mean it should 

be approved.  

Thank You.

19559 115B Avenue 

I first spoke out against this panhandle development in November of 2005, the vote at that time was 

Councilors John Appleton, Randy Cooke and Mayor Maclean in favour and John Becker, Deb Eisel, Janis 

Elkerton and Gwen O’Connell voted against this development. 

The next time I had to come was ten months later, in September of 2006 and the vote at that time was 

Councilor  Andrew Tolchard and Mayor Maclean in favour and Councilors Doug Bing, John Becker, Deb 

Eisel, Janis Elkerton and Deb Walters voted against this development. 

I now stand in front of another Council with a few new faces but also some familiar ones. 

My reasons for not wanting a panhandle development on this property haven’t changed and other than 

some increased traffic on Bonson Road, the surrounding area has also not changed. Change is only good 

if it is done as an improvement and this development does not improve our neighbourhood. 

 Allowing a panhandle on this property would set a precedent for the whole area. There are many 

oversized lots in this area and I don’t feel this is an acceptable way to infill. I think a panhandle on this 

property goes against the character and appearance of the established neighbourhood. 

In March of 2010 you approved a panhandle development on 11872 Blakely Road but the situation 

there was entirely different that this one. The house for that development has a driveway which is 

accessed on 119 Avenue, essentially they added a “handle” to 119 avenue. The houses don’t share  an 

access point on Blakeley Road, so it is not a traditional panhandle development, as they don’t share the 

entrance as a flagpole or panhandle. Panhandle developments may be appropriate in this situation or 

perhaps tucked away at the end of a quiet street but not in the middle of a busy  street, which is used to 

access to our fields and arenas.  

Traditional panhandles are an afterthought development and that is exactly what they look like. We 

have a beautiful neighborhood in the core of Pitt Meadows,  please don’t add houses for the sake of 

infilling. There is nothing wrong with maintaining some larger lots in Pitt Meadows so we can have a city 

with diversity. Some people like large houses and small yards, others like townhomes and condos, and 

some love the idea of owning a home with a large back yard. This is what makes Pitt Meadows unique 

and it is why we purchased a home here with large private back yard. 

Thank you for the opportunity to voice my opinion.
