Langley Township Council Meeting Report--Monday Night, Feb. 1, 2010
Notes from Langley Township Council's regular meeting, Monday night, Feb. 1, 2010. A full agenda can be found here.
Zvonko Bezjak asked Council to support a province-wide ban on cosmetic pesticides. This is something we voted to support last year. The Province is presently receiving input on the idea, so Council voted unanimously (moved by Richter, seconded by Bateman) to send another letter with our support.
Lt. Mary Ward of the 2277 Seaforth Highlanders told Council that a new Army Cadet program will launch in Langley this fall. Her request for meeting space was referred to staff (moved by Ward, seconded by Long; passed unanimously).
Murray Wood, on behalf of seven land owners on 199 St., asked Council to get involved in a development planning agreement between the owners and a consultant putting together the Jericho Sub Neighbourhood Plan. Essentially, the owners are concerned that the contract they are being ask to sign with the consultant would leave them on the hook, proportionately, for any cost overruns on the services they provide. I see this as a business matter between the neighbours and the consultant, and it would be inappropriate and foolhardy for the Township to inject ourselves into this.
Council voted unanimously (moved by Ward, seconded by Fox) to support an ALC application to allow a horse veterinary clinic on ALR land at 26200 69 Ave.
We voted 8-1 (moved by Ferguson, seconded by Bateman; Richter opposed) to send an application for 15 townhouses at 9584 216 St. to public hearing.
Council voted unanimously (moved by Fox, seconded by Ferguson) to send a proposal for an 18,580 sq. ft. Shoppers Drug Mart at 4024 200th St. to public hearing.
Council voted unanimously (moved by Ward, seconded by Bateman) to sned a rezoning applicaion for three lots at 7000 197B St. to public hearing.
We voted unanimously (moved by Long, seconded by Bateman) to give three readings to housekeeping changes to our Highway and Traffic Bylaw.
We voted unanimously (moved by Fox, seconded by Bateman) to give three readings to add pavement cut charges to our Fees and Charges Bylaw.
Council voted 8-1 (moved by Ferguson, seconded by Bateman; Richter opposed) to give third reading to an application for 83 townhouses at 20966 77A Ave. An amendment to try and save as many trees in the greenway as possible passed unanimously (moved by Richter, seconded by Green).
Council voted unanimously (moved by Long, seconded by Ward) to give third reading to a 27,750 sq. ft. church and school at 24746 Fraser Hwy.
We voted unanimously (moved by Bateman, seconded by Ferguson) to give final reading to a two-lot subdivision at 4752 217A St.
Council voted unanimously (moved by Ferguson, seconded by Bateman) to send a letter of thanks to the three citizen members of the Mayor's Standing Committee on Finance, who resigned last week. I'll have more on this shortly.
