SFPR Update
Posted by FHCA_Executive on Tuesday, September 30, 2008 (17:11:59) (126 reads)
South Fraser Perimeter Road Update
SFPR granted EAO certificate on July 24 with many pages of
“commitments and assurances” made by the
proponent. Work has already begun on some Surrey portions,
and full construction should begin in 2009 with full completion in 2012.
I am very disappointed in the lack of detail for mitigating the bulk of
the concerns that have been raised by the FHCA and other commenting
parties.
The common response is to “monitor” most areas of
concern, with little detail how concerns, once validated, would be
dealt with.
Two of the largest areas that will impact Fraser Heights are;
- Air Quality - Still trumpeting that
overall air quality in the “airshed” will be higher
as a result of stricter vehicle emissions and better traffic
movement. No mention that air quality in relative proximity
to the road will suffer . In regard to lifetime cancer risk,
“…the Project will reduce thesize of the areas
affected…”
- Noise – proponent will follow MoTH guidelines,
and has agreed to monitor for 1 year post completion.
There are many other areas of concern, and I have not had a chance to
review the certificate in its entirety.

156th St Underpass Update
Posted by FHCA_Executive on Tuesday, September 30, 2008 (17:03:30) (322 reads)
156th St Underpass Update
The City response from City Engineer Vince LaLonde’s desk
(noted below) states the Engineering Departments position on
the questions regarding:
- Concrete Fencing along the east side of 156A between the
freeway and 108th Ave.
- Pathway access leading from 156 St. into the east
side neighbourhoods of; 107, 107A, and 106A Avenue.
Although Mr. Lalonde and his Engineering Department have
attended many meetings with the Fraser Heights Community Association,
as well as with the residents directly affected, the
City’s position remains unchanged.
The 156 St. Underpass representatives from FHCA will be attending City
Council in the near future to bring this issue to the
forefront. It is our desire to present it at the October
6th City Council meeting.
Letter to R. Felder from Vince Lalonde
Dated: September 11, 2008
“ The City
position has been consistent in that the 156 Street underpass in
addition to providing improved accessibility for the residents of
Fraser heights, the project should support walkable communities,
discourage the use of short single-occupant vehicle trips, and support
sustainability, by retaining the existing walkway connections (Existing
walkway connections to 156 Street are located at 107 and 107A avenues).
As we indicated by
letter to the area residents this spring (see letter attached)
continuous concrete fencing would not be an option, the walkways would
remain open, but that extensive landscaping would be provided for
enhanced aesthetics and screening of the cul-de-sac ends from 156
Street. Along with some of the other issues of pedestrian
accommodation/safety the City also committed to monitoring conditions
following the opening of the underpass, and to consider additional
modifications depending on the actual conditions.
We acknowledged in June,
that the neighbourhood petition By Jas Khera indicated a very high
level of support for no walkway connections whereas, the confidential
survey conducted by the City earlier had not shown such a neighbourhood
opinion. We had advised at the time that in order to close a walkway we
would need first to do a confidential survey again and that some time
needed to pass before we would commit to doing one. We had also
committed to not build anything related to the walkways until the
issues were further discussed.
Consequently we will be
retaining the existing walkway connections on 107 and 107A Avenues,
however, a new connection at 106A Avenue will not be
constructed. If in future, once the 156 Street underpass has
been built we will monitor the situation (with tools such as pedestrian
and traffic counts) report back. Should a group of residents requests a
change to these connections, following appropriate community
consultation, such a requests would be re-considered. “

Pub and Liquor Store Application
Posted by FHCA_Executive on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 (04:11:50) (244 reads)
Pub & Liquor Store Application
There has been an application made to amend the CD bylaw (for the development which contains the Rexall) to allow for a neighbourhood pub and private liquor store. The applicant and intended operator is Popular Group Investments which is owned by Bob Cheema. The applicant has not submitted a liquor license application so there is no information as to the occupant load or hours of operation. In discussions with Bob Cheema, he has indicated his intent is for a small pub of 12 seats with kitchen and a liquor store for a total of 1000 square feet.
The Surrey city planner has apparently sent out pre-notification letters and asked the developer to install a development proposal sign on the site. To date the planner has received no responses. The FHCA would like to ensure that Fraser Heights residents are made aware of this proposal and that their comments are heard.
We encourage you to let us know your feelings by providing feedback here.
If you are in support, some things to consider are; hours of operation, number of seats, size of the pub, amount of parking etc. The FHCA feels these items need to be addressed in the CD zoning so they can form part of the property in the future. Unless they are tied to the zoning an owner will be able to change them in the future without a reapplication. The public would be consulted when a liquor license is applied for however.
