Langley Township Council Meeting Report--Monday Night, April 26, 2010
Notes from Langley Township Councl's regular meeting, Monday night, April 26, 2010. For a full agenda, including all the reports, click here.
Langley RCMP Spt. Derek Cooke, who, incidentally, had an excellent op/ed on regional police costs in the Vancouver Province Monday, gave us his quarterly update.
Members of the Fibromyalgia Well Spring Foundation gave us an update of their activities.
Michelle Nicholls, Sue Leyland, Margaret Ormston, and Nina Robinson made delegations opposing various fill permit applications.
Marlow Pellatt made a delegation opposing the proposal to add 208th Street into the Major Road Network.
Council voted 8-1 (moved by Bateman, seconded by Fox; Richter opposed) to send an application by Onnuri Vision Church for a church at 19711 and 19731 86 Ave. to public hearing.
We voted 7-2 (moved by Ferguson, seconded by Ward; Richter and Green opposed) to give three readings to the 2010 annual tax rates bylaw.
We voted unanimously (moved by Bateman, seconded by Fox) give third reading to our community energy and emissions OCP amendment. It really is amazing to see how far the Township has come in recent years on sustainability. Corporate and community plans, the Sustainability Charter. smart growth, transit-oriented development, district heating, right-sizing our auto fleet, anti-idling campaigns, biofuels, the list goes on and on. Local governments are leading the way in the fight against pollution, and we are doing it on tight budgets and through innovation and idea-sharing.
After some concerns were raised by various councillors, the adaptable housing requirements bylaw was sent back to staff for a report in a 5-4 vote (moved by Long, seconded by Green; Bateman, Fox, Kositsky and Ward opposed).
A Teck Developments rezoning application for 5197 216th St. was given unanimous third reading (moved by Ward, seconded by Dornan).
A final reading for rezoning 5.02 acres at 21055 80 Ave. for 28 single family homes and 18 rowhouses passed unanimously (moved by Ferguson, seconded by Fox). The accompanying development permit was also issued in a unanimous vote (moved by Ward, seconded by Bateman).
