Secondary Suite Survey
Posted by FHCA_Executive on Wednesday, June 30, 2010 (06:37:17) (12 reads)
Secondary Suite Survey
The City of Surrey has launched a web survey from June 28 - July 16 to gauge public opinion on the matter of legalizing secondary suites. The City has also commissioned Ipsos Reid to conduct a telephone survey, starting June 24 to include 1,200 completed surveys.
As you may recall last year the City held open houses on the subject of changing zoning bylaws to allow larger homes. Reacting, in part to the response to that initiative, the Mayor set out a strategy to first address the issue of secondary suites before separately addressing the issue of larger homes.
As the Ipsos Reid telephone survey is random and you may not be called, if you want to voice your opinion on this important matter please take the time to complete the web survey. There is a link to it on the City of Surrey web site. You can also link to it directly here.
The Mayor has formed a working group to consult on this issue. Among the working group are members of Surrey community associations, including the FHCA. In order to best represent the interests and opinions of the residents of Fraser Heights please take the time to let us know your thoughts on the matter. You can do that here.

176th St Development Passes 3rd Reading
Posted by FHCA_Executive on Friday, January 15, 2010 (01:55:36) (137 reads)
176th St Development Passes 3rd Reading
On Monday, Jan 11th, Council passed 3rd reading on the high density development at 176th St and Barnston Drive and it is moving ahead. This is against the recommendations of City staff and against the wishes of the FHCA.
The motion was moved by Councillor Tom Gill, Seconded by Councillor Mary Martin, and supported by Councillors Marvin Hunt, Barb Steele, Linda Hepner, and Barinder Rasode.
Only Mayor Watts and Councillors Bob Bose and Judy Villeneuve wanted it to go for public consultation.
The Report to Council referred to a letter of support written by Harnish Dhanji of the FHCA. Mr. Dhanji said he was asked to write this letter by the developer. The letter expressed his personal views but was signed as President of the FHCA, his position at the time. This letter was written without the knowledge of the rest of the executive and was contrary to the position that the FHCA has taken since October.
Mr Dhanji has voluntarily resigned from the FHCA.

Proposed 176th St Development to go to Council
Posted by FHCA_Executive on Sunday, January 10, 2010 (03:54:42) (153 reads)
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AT HIGHWAY 1
& 176th St.
YOU REALLY NEED TO BE
CONCERNED!
On Thursday January 7, 2010 we received a telephone call from the City
of Surrey Planning Department, indicating that a corporate
report is being sent to City Council on Monday, January 11,
2010 indicating that the Proposed Development at Hwy 1 and
176th can now be considered for Third Reading. In
effect what has transpired, unannounced to us as a community, is that
the developer is prepared to go before City Council with a revised plan. Although
the developer met with the FHCA Executive and made some
changes, MUCH MORE needs to be done. Here are the key issues
that are still of concern:
Density Too High
– While the developer reduced the number of households from
841 to 698, this is still unjustifiably high density. When the
community was consulted in an Open House in June 2008, a total of 518
units were shown – 698 units are 35% more!
There is great concern about the impact of such density on existing
infrastructure, including the school system. Fraser Heights Secondary
School is well in excess of its capacity, and this development will
inordinately impact on the present complex.
Additional concerns about density include the lack of recreational
facilities and park land to support such an increase in population.
While Tynehead Regional Park has been offered for this area, users must
cross two busy highways to access it, making it inaccessible for
children and dangerous for adults.
Road Access / Traffic
This development is going to seriously impact our community, and the
promised traffic study has still not been presented to us.
Look and feel of the
development – integration into the community
The community has great concern about two aspects of the look and feel
of the development: 1) the absence of control over the
drawings regarding style, character and building quality, and 2) the
lack of green space due to building density.
Commercial Site
The main concern here is the economic viability of such a large
commercial component in a small community.
Process
The community requested an Open House so that all residents could see
the impact of the proposal. This is particularly important as this will
be the first location in Surrey that is being proposed for 6-storey
wood structures.
Please understand that if you are still concerned regarding any of the
above items, you must act this weekend in one of the following ways:
- Call each member of City Council (refer to list of Mayor
& Councillors below) and express your concerns with any of the
issues above. If they are unavailable, please leave a voice
mail message with your concerns and your telephone number to allow them
to return your call.
- Email each member of City Council (refer to email addresses
of Mayor & Councillors below) and express your concerns and
issues in writing. You can use a variation of what is written above,
but it is best to express your concerns in your own words.

To further show your support, attend the City Council meeting on
Monday, January 11, 2010, 7:00pm at City Hall. Hopefully,
along with your telephone calls, emails and attendance, this will
indicate to Council that we desire further public consultation.
