PUBLIC REPRESENTATIONS

Mr. Tim Akenman, Architect for the project, spoke in favour of the application, noting that it is a highly sustainable development.
He indicated that there are several project consultants present who could answer specific questions, including the civil engineer, the environmental engineer and the traffic engineer. He noted there are over 70 letters of support that have been provided to Council.
He noted that as part of their consultations, particularly with residents in the Terravista development, three re-occurring issues have come up including geotechnical, traffic and parking.
He advised that the geotechnical review took eighteen months, and included a peer review by Golder and Associates who were chosen by the City for the review.
Both reports came back as having deemed the site safe for this development.
He also referred to the traffic and parking report which also underwent a secondary peer review by a neighbouring resident.

Alan Carter, Terravista Place, Port Moody, advised that he has worked with environmental assessment, remediation and restoration and wanted to comment on potential social impacts of this development noting there has not been a social impact assessment which is important. He suggested there should have been an assessment of issues related to the development’s impact on traffic, site preparation, where sediment will be removed from the site, noise impact, air quality and the proximity to the nearby school. He advised that his life will be affected. He suggested that if the city and the proponent are interested in reducing the negative effects, they should reduce the building footprint by 40%.
Wendy Swalwell, 2129 Clarke Street, Port Moody, spoke in support of the application as a resident in the area and as President of the Moody Centre Community Association. She advised that she is impressed by the proponent and their team and how thorough a job they have done. They have attended an association meeting which had a vote passed to support this project. She noted there are a lot of issues they need to deal with and they have done their homework and developed their plan which is appropriate for the site. She indicated that this development would give density which the area needs, it will be built to LEEDS standards and will have dealt with parking and traffic issues. She expressed the view that this is a very forward thinking project. She advised that the association talked about no development until transportation infrastructure is in place, however, in reality the Murray-Clarke Connector may not happen but regardless, this development will be good for the community given its high caliber.
Lana Harris, 3001 Terravista Place, Port Moody, advised she has been a resident for one year and before moving to the area, she checked the Official Community Plan and this development will be another change to that Plan. She expected the area would be rejuvenated by upgrading existing buildings. She referred to the Land Use Committee meeting on this application where there was consideration of a geotechnical survey and she thought the city was to conduct this survey and asked that that be addressed.
Robert Wiebe, 3099 Terravista Place, Port Moody, advised that he opposes this project on the basis of the impact on the environment. He indicated that travelling by public transit is getting more difficult due to rider volumes and adding 150 or 200 more individuals would make use of the infrastructure more difficult. He expressed the opinion that the city should err on the side of caution and wait for transit before allowing additional population in the area.
Jennifer Mac, 4001 Terravista Place, Port Moody, indicated that one of the reasons they chose to live here is the quiet and the greenspace in the neighbourhood. She indicated she has several issues with the development: there is a shortage in underground parking in the development plan when there is already a shortage of parking spots on Henry Street; there is also a lot of commuter parking in the residential streets so there will not be enough space for residents in the buildings to park on Henry Street and they may then use up parking spaces on Terravista Place. She expressed concern for increased vehicle congestion. She questioned whether the car share program will really work and inquired if the city has looked at studies that these programs work. She also indicated that there is only one park on Henry and William Streets now and it is a playground and expressed concern that people will tend to take their dogs to this one little park. She also expressed concern for the loss of hiking trails and green space and the displacement of wildlife. There is already a building on Williams Street which is currently vacant and new residents will move in next year and she expressed concern that this area cannot sustain all these people, their cars and families. The middle school may become even more congested with vehicles adding additional students from this development. There is also not a good sidewalk for students. School buses use Henry Street which is already congested with parking. She added that loss of green space will affect existing property values.
Mr. Cliff Van Alstyne, 201-3001 Terravista Place, Port Moody, indicated support for the remarks of first speaker regarding geotechnical studies noting that this site is swampy and boggy. He suggested the siting of the development should be back from Henry Street to have the same boulevard as Terravista, which would also reduce the development size.

2. Public Input
 
Robert Simons, Port Moody, provided Council with an update on the Western Station Committee’s meeting with the Evergreen Line Project Office about an additional skytrain station in western Port Moody. The Project Office advised the group that there are four different stakeholder groups that are asking for additional stations along the line. He advised that the Committee focused on the opportunities for land use, densification, etc. to increase the opportunity for ridership. He also advised that the Project Office also indicated that there is an affordability issue for additional stations. He requested an opportunity to meet with the city staff who are looking at the Evergreen Line plans.

Robyn Spence, 27 Hickory Drive, Port Moody, advised he is the new owner of 27 Hickory Drive and requested a two-week extension of the proposed notice on title to provide time to submit architectural designs to the city before the city considers placing a notice on title.

3.3 Port Moody Waterfront Community Interest Group
 
Barry Sharbo, representing the Port Moody Waterfront Community Interest Group, presented information/submissions in regards to the Official Community Plan, the Murray-Clarke Connector, the Evergreen Rapid Transit Line, transit oriented development, all in relation to each other.

He advised that he represents 80% of the owners of the lots on Murray Street and advised that they feel the proposed land use in the updated Official Community Plan is not adequate for the area. He requested that Council consider new land use designations that would be compatible with transportation infrastructure and proposed a mixed use option for Murray Street.

3.4 Community Volunteer Services for Seniors for the Tri Cities Area
Marion Bernie, Executive Director, and Alete Chetney, representing the Wilson Centre Seniors’ Advisory Association, provided a review of their outreach services and the number of seniors participating in their programs.

She spoke to the various programs they provide advising that City of Port Coquitlam has been providing them with in-kind support for many years. She advised that Fraser Health cut their funding, the timing of which did not allow them to apply for grants. The grants they have now submitted will not be considered for funding until March 2010.

They requested one time funding of $5,000 to bridge their financial needs. She advised that the City of Port Coquitlam has recently given one-time funding of $10,000 to continue to provide services to Port Coquitlam residents only, and that the City of Coquitlam is being asked for $15,000. She advised that there are approximately 30-40 Port Moody seniors using their services.
