File: Marpet97
CC File 5802-1

First and Second Step Report
RECOMMENDATION
A. THAT petition projects listed in Appendix I be brought before

be adopted together with details of the Second Step Report as

COUNCIL POLICY
Policies governing the Local Improvement process are set out in the
Vancouver Charter and Local Improvements Procedure by-law.
PURPOSE
A Court of Revision is scheduled for March 27, 1997 at 7:30 p.m. to
review a number of petition and initiative projects. This is the "First
and Second Step" report for the petition projects. The report for
initiative projects was approved by Council on January 15, 1997. The
purpose of this report is to begin the formal Local Improvement process
by advancing the petition projects to the Court of Revision and to
report on the financial arrangements for the projects. Approval of this
report does not commit Council to undertake the projects.
BACKGROUND
The policies and process for the Local Improvement Process are laid out
in the Local Improvements Procedure Bylaw.
The Local Improvement process is used to construct a variety of projects
including lane lighting, street pavement (including trees), lane
pavement, speed humps, sidewalks and other special projects. A
portion, or all of the cost of local improvement projects is funded by
the property owner and the City funds the balance.
There are two ways in which local improvements can come forward for
Council consideration. Projects that are initiated by citizens come to
Council as "petitions" which contain two-thirds majority support of the
local property owners. Projects that have no neighbourhood sponsor, and
therefore no petition, are brought to Council by staff under the City's
"initiative". Council reviewed and approved the report on initiative
projects on January 15, 1997. This report deals with the projects
brought forward under the "petition" process. Petition requests are
normally brought to Council closer to the date of the Court of Revision
meeting to allow the public more time to seek neighbourhood concurrence.
Under the procedure bylaw, Council considers the projects in three
steps. The First Step is to define the projects and indicate their
approximate cost. The Second Step is a report from the Director of
Finance indicating the cost to property owners and the City and
confirming that financing for the City share of the projects can be
provided. The current report deals with these first two steps.
The final step in the approval process comes when Council, sitting as
the Court of Revision gives final approval to those projects that are to
proceed.
First Step
As required by the Local Improvement Procedure By-law, projects for:
Court #577
I. Lane Lighting
II. Pavement & Curbs, Local Residential
III. Lane Pavement, Local Residential
IV. Speed Humps
V. Trees
VI. Pedestrian Collector Sidewalks
VII. Sidewalk
shown on the attached schedule (Appendix I) are advanced to Council by
Petition for review at a Court of Revision which will be held at 7:30
p.m. Thursday, March 27, 1997.
Drainage Prior to Paving
In addition to construction of the petition paving projects, advance
drainage work involving installation of catch basins and storm drains
must first be carried out. Based on past experience, we estimate the
cost of this work to be in the order of $70,000.
The location and individual costs of this work will be reported in a
subsequent Manager's Minute upon completion of the necessary design
work.
Capital Funds
Funds for the City's share of the projects are available from existing
Engineering Department Basic Capital Accounts, or are subject to
approval of the 1997 Streets Basic Capital Budget.
Second Step
The General Manager, Corporate Services reports as follows:
In accordance with the Local Improvements Procedure By-Law, I am
submitting the attached City Engineer's Report. The estimated cost of
these projects is $ 2,576,701. The Property owners share of these
projects is $1,067,483. The City's share is $1,509,218.I have to
report that the necessary financial arrangements can be made to carry
out this work,subject to approval of the 1997 Streets Basic Capital
Budget.
