BUILDING THE FUTURE September 23, 2020 City of Langford 2nd Floor, 877 Goldstream Avenue Langford, BC V9B 2X8 Re: Temporary Use Permit along Aggregate Court (TUP20-0005) Dear Councilor Blackwell, I am writing to you today regarding a Temporary Use Permit application made by Ironclad Developments for temporary parking at 3160 & 3150 Aggregate Court. At the Planning, Zoning and Affordable Housing Committee meeting on September 14, 2020, the committee recommended rejection of the Temporary Use Permit. We have been informed that the Planning Department expects that Council will receive the committee’s recommendation at the next regular meeting on October 5, 2020. The intent of this letter is to explain why the temporary parking is required and how Ironclad will ensure resident and visitor safety when walking between the building and the temporary parking lot. I would ask that you consider amending the PZAH recommendation to allow Council to pass the requested permit. The intent of the Temporary Use Permit is to allow residents to temporarily park on the property adjacent to Ironclad Development’s Glen Lake Town Centre development at 3147, 3149 and 3151 Aggregate Court for the first phase of Occupancy slated for 3149 Aggregate Court. The residential development is being constructed in three phases, the first of which will be ready for occupancy November 1, 2020. The underground parkade is currently under construction and is due to be complete in December 2020. The temporary use permit is required for only a few months until the underground parkade receives an Occupancy Permit. Construction of the parkade will be completed as quickly as possible, however the large parkade under all three buildings requires all underground work for Phase II (3147 Aggregate Court) and Phase III (3151 Aggregate Court) buildings to be complete before the parkade can be used by residents. By temporarily relocating resident and visitor vehicles to the adjacent property, the construction work required in the parkade can be complete for all three buildings without interfering with resident parking in the future. A surface parking lot will be located on the property in the centre of the three buildings. However, this parking lot cannot be used for Phase I of occupancy as it is within proximity of the continued construction activities required for the other two buildings. For the protection of residents and visitors, a large part of the surface parking lot will be fenced off until construction on site is complete. To provide parking to residents while the parkade construction is completed, Ironclad applied for a Temporary Use Permit. This permit would allow a temporary parking lot to be created, including 124 parking spaces. These parking spaces would only be for residents and visitors, industrial/trades parking would not be permitted to park in the temporary parking lot. The minimum number of parking spaces required for the 99 units in phase I is 124 spaces, 1 space per unit plus 0.25 spaces per unit for visitors. Ironclad meets the minimum required number of parking spaces required. There are currently office trailers and a leasing centre on the property. If approved, the office trailers will be relocated to the east side of the site, near Boulder Way, making room for the parking lot, and a driveway access will be created off Aggregate Court. To ensure resident’s safety when crossing the road, an at grade pedestrian cross walk will link the parking lot to the residential building. If needed, a temporary traffic light could be installed to further increase pedestrian safety. The site plan that was submitted with the Temporary Use Permit application allocated space for 15 parking spaces along Boulder Way to be used by the leasing centre and office staff. However, to protect Boulder Way’s curb, this parking will be eliminated. The only temporary uses at 3160 & 3150 Aggregate Court would be residential parking. See revised site plan below for your consideration (Appendix A). To ensure safety of residents and visitors, all construction activities for the remaining two buildings will be fenced off. Residents and visitors will have a clear path to the entrances of the Phase I building and will not encounter construction when walking from their vehicle in the temporary parking lot to the building entrance or vice versa. The parking lot will be gravel with markings to differentiate resident spaces and visitor spaces. Ironclad Developments hopes that Council will consider approving the Temporary Use Permit for Glen Lake Town Centre’s temporary residential parking lot. Approval of the temporary parking lot will allow occupancy of the Phase I building prior to the underground parkade being complete and ensure that residents have access to safe and reliable parking. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Thank you for your consideration on this matter.

PRESENTATION a) Rob Thomas, President, South Island Disc Golf Society RE: South Island Disc Golf Society Rob Thomas, President of the South Island Disc Golf Society provided a PowerPoint presentation on the growing popularity and benefits of disc golf. The game is scored the same as golf and is an activity that can be enjoyed by people of a variety of ages and physical abilities. Currently there is a pay-to-play course in Metchosin and a 9-hole course at Layritz Park in Saanich. Unsanctioned courses are full and they are looking to build a new course on underutilized land or in existing parks. High quality courses can also generate tourism by hosting events and tournaments. Total cost of creating a new course is relatively low, approximately $15 thousand dollars. They have identified potential locations in Langford that would be ideal, and they would be happy to share after the meeting. They have some access to funding but are looking for financial support and they would cover the labour and maintenance. The distance between the baskets would be anywhere from 150 to 300 feet depending on the landscape. b) Chris Bhopalsingh, President, West Shore Arts Council RE: West Shore Arts Council: The Year in Review and New Projects Chris Bhopalsingh, President of the West Shore Arts Council provided a PowerPoint presentation on past and upcoming projects. They changed their mission statement this year to highlight that they are a hub where local artists can showcase their endeavors. Successful past events included “Light up the Hills” at Westhills last September and the Mother’s Day Paint-In. Their newsletter is now quarterly instead of monthly. COVID-19 has affected their events, however they are planning some online performances and a Concert Series at a care facility on Goldstream where they will play in the courtyard so seniors can listen from their windows. They are seeking a treasurer and secretary but are not looking for rent as they will be a virtual organization until COVID-19 ends. Stefan from the West Shore Arts Council mentioned that they are looking to support The Rising, a local circus group, who are looking for space for an outdoor performance in October, and if there was any contacts at the stadium to talk to. Cory Manton, Manager of Parks and Recreation will be in touch to help to facilitate with the operators of the stadium. c) Cory Manton, Manager of Parks and Recreation RE: Proposal for Archery Range at Willing Park Cory Manton, Manager of Parks and Recreation provided a PowerPoint presentation on the proposal for the Archery Range at Willing Park. The City of Langford has identified Willing Park as a potential location as it has a large flat, underutilized space. They would have to construct burms, fence in the site, add a small gravel parking lot and re-locate one section of trail. Council gave the direction for community consultation; an Open House will be held September 30th with nearby residents of the park. Archery is a safe sport and the Victoria Bowman Association has strict guidelines for shooting. Community feedback will be compiled and presented to Council following the Open House. Member R. Prettie inquired about the direction they will be facing and if it will cause sun to be in their eyes. Cory Manton said the sun will be behind them during the day. Member M. Stearns wondered what the main objections are from neighbours. Cory Manton said parking and safety, both of which will be addressed at Open House. 4.

One of the center’s field staffers, Mark Malleson, was able to see the whales – known as J Pod – near Sheringham Point off Vancouver Island later on Thursday evening as they foraged for fish, but was unable to spot the calf himself. In a statement, the research center said they will eagerly await to observe the calf in order to evaluate its health and hopefully determine its sex. “We will reserve its alpha-numeric designation until it proves to be healthy when the pod returns to Salish Sea waters,” the center said, adding that about 40 per cent of newborn calves do not survive their neonatal first few weeks. This marks the second calf to be born this month. In recent years, the number of Southern Resident killer whales have dwindled to just less than 80, sparking ample concern from coastal researchers on both sides of the border. Sometimes, it can take biologists and experts quite some time to confirm the sex of a calf, because they have to be able to see the underbelly of the whale. Just earlier this week, the center was able to confirm another calf, now named J57, was a male. It was born on Sept. 4, is the viable second male calf born to J35, or Tahlequah. This newest calf – which hasn’t yet been named – is the second calf birthed by J41, following the birth of J51 in 2010. J41 is believed to be roughly 15 years old. Researchers plan to observe calf to evaluate its health J Pod’s newest calf, born Sept. 24, surfaces next to its mother J41.
