REPORT REFERENCE
1. 1996 Engineering Basic Capital Budget File: 1604-1
Before Council was an Administrative Report dated February 13,
1996, in which the General Manager of Engineering Services provided an
overview of the 1996 Engineering Capital Budget and recommended its
approval. The report contained details of the six programs in the 1996
Engineering Basic Capital Budget,including submissions for:
Streets $ 22,443,000
Communications $ 656,000
Street Lighting $ 1,474,000
Sewers $ 13,295,000
Yards $ 60,000
Waterworks $ 16,597,000
In addition, information was provided in the report concerning
account closeouts and funding difficulties for sewers and waterworks.
The General Manager of Engineering Services submitted the following
recommendations:
A. THAT the 1996 Streets, Sewers, Waterworks, Street
Lighting & Undergrounding, Communications and Yards Basic
Capital Budgets, as reported here and detailed in
Appendix 1 of the Administrative Report dated February
13, 1996, be approved with funding as shown in Table 2,
with the Capital from Revenue portion subject to approval
of the 1996 Operating Budget.
B. THAT to maintain the City's sewer infrastructure program
for 1996 and to achieve environmental improvements
through the ongoing reduction and eventual elimination of
combined sewer overflows, the borrowing authority be
increased by $2.73 million, with an offsetting reduction
from any provincial revenue sharing which is received.
C. THAT the current shortfall in the 1994-1996 Waterworks
Capital Plan, due to a lack of funding contributions from
the GVRD and the Provincial Government, be addressed for
1996 by deferring certain programs totalling
approximately $7.2 million, as noted in the
Administrative Report dated February 13, 1996.
cont'dREPORT REFERENCE (CONT'D)
1996 Engineering Basic Capital Budget (cont'd)
D. THAT borrowing authority in the 1994-1996 Waterworks
Capital Plan be increased by $2.1 million, to reinstate
the dedicated pipeline construction program to the level
that was anticipated in the twelve year implementation
plan, which was reduced to fund the additional costs that
were previously reported for the False Creek and Coal
Harbour Pump Stations, and the addition of the Grouse
Mountain SCADA repeater facility.
E. THAT the transfer of Capital Funds, as detailed in
Appendix 2 of the Administrative Report dated February
13, 1996 for Streets, Sewers, Street Lighting, Traffic
Signals and Undergrounding Capital closeouts, be
approved.
F. THAT the public sewer connection fees for 1996 be
increased by approximately 3.9% as shown in Appendix 3 of
the Administrative Report dated February 13, 1996.
G. THAT the estimated construction value amount in
Subsection 8.19(b)(ii) of the Plumbing By-law, which
triggers the requirement for a new public sewer
connection for renovated buildings, be increased from
$65,000 to $95,000 to reflect similar increases in the
criteria used to estimate construction values.
H. THAT the Director of Legal Services be requested to amend
the Plumbing By-law in accordance with the approved
recommendations in this report.
I. THAT the Mayor write to the Ministers of Environment and
Finance, encouraging the Province to continue to
contribute funding towards the City's sewer replacement
program, thereby aiding progress to eliminate combined
sewer overflows.
J. THAT $226,000 for Granville Bridge safety improvements
and $857,000 for Police Radio Console Replacement in
unused borrowing authority be carried over to the 1997-99
Engineering Capital Plan.

REPORT REFERENCE (CONT'D)
1996 Engineering Basic Capital Budget (cont'd)
Mr. Dave Rudberg, General Manager of Engineering Services, provided
opening comments to the report reference and advised the 1996 Basic
Capital Budget allocates all of the remaining funds in the 1994-1996
Capital Plan approved by Council and votes in the 1993 Plebiscite. The
only exceptions pertain to the Police Dispatch Console Replacement and
funds for Granville Bridge Safety Improvements, which have been carried
over to the 1997-1999 Capital Plan. Mr. Rudberg also explained the
funding difficulty being experienced in Sewers and Waterworks, and noted
this is due to a lack of funding contributions from the Province's Local
Government Grant Program, as well as from the GVRD in the case of
Waterworks Projects.
The following members of the Engineering Department also presented
additional information and explanations regarding the individual
programs within the 1996 Engineering Basic Capital Budget:
Mr. Don Brynildsen, Assistant City Engineer - Streets
Mr. Tom Timm, Assistant City Engineer - Water, Sewers & Yards
Ms. Susan Clift, Assistant City Engineer - Electrical &
Information Services
During discussion of the report, a member of Council questioned the
over expenditure in a number of the Capital Accounts for Streets. Mr.
Rudberg advised the report does not contain all Capital Account closures
for streets, but only those with significant variation. Those projects
which were over-expended are due to special considerations or design
changes.
Mr. Rudberg also responded to questions concerning the reduction in
Provincial funding contributions, and advised that funds which would
have otherwise been provided under the Local Government Grant Program
were added to the Federal Provincial Infrastructure Program. It also
reflects the results of downloading from senior levels of government to
municipalities.

Mr. Rudberg advised it is the City's intention to transfer the budget
for this work to the Park Board. Council members requested more details
concerning the nature of the work and the associated funding for this
item.
MOVED by Cllr. Puil,
THAT the recommendation of the General Manager of Engineering
Services, as contained in this report and noted herein, be approved.
- CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

File: PH315
1. Text Amendment: RS-6 One-Family Dwelling District
Rezoning: South Shaughnessy/Granville (RS-6)
The Public Hearing for this application was held on January 18,
1996 and concluded on February 6, 1996. A total of 21 speakers
addressed Council over the course of the two evenings. Due to the
lateness of the hour on February 6, a decision on the application was
deferred until the Regular Council meeting on February 27, 1996.
The proposed application sought Council approval to rezone an area
generally bounded by Granville Street, West 57th Avenue, East Boulevard,
West 42nd Street, Maple Street, West 41st Avenue, Cypress Street and
West 49th Avenue from RS-1 One-Family Dwelling District to RS-6 One-
Family Dwelling District, to amend the Zoning & Development By-law to
include a new RS-6 District Schedule, and to adopt RS-6 Design
Guidelines.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS (CONT'D)
Text Amendment: RS-6 One-Family Dwelling District
Rezoning: South Shaughnessy/Granville (RS-6)(cont'd)
The following additional information from staff was before Council
for consideration:
- UB-1(i) Memorandum dated February 23, 1996 from Mr. Bob McGilvray
entitled "RS-6 - Text Revisions";
- UB-1(ii) Memorandum dated February 23, 1996 from Mr. Bob McGilvray
entitled "Draft RS-6 - District Schedule Section 4.17.33
and Guidelines Section 5.2(a) Regarding Regulations of
Window Glass";
- UB-1(iii) Memorandum dated February 22, 1996 from Mr. Jack Perri
entitled "Draft RS-6; Enforcement".
Prior to Council consideration of this item, Mr. Bob McGilvray,
Planner, provided concluding comments on behalf of staff, and responded
to questions from members of Council.
In total, 20 letters were received on this application, of which
ten were in support of the proposed RS-6 zoning. The Architectural
Institute of BC (AIBC) and the Greater Vancouver Homebuilders'
Association opposed the application, with AIBC suggesting that decisions
on neighbourhood zoning be made by neighbourhood design panels that
would have approving authority. Mr. McGilvray recommended that, should
Council wish to pursue this suggestion, the application be deferred
pending a staff report back on this issue.
Members of the Glass Artists Association opposed the clause in the
application regulating window glazing because of the negative impacts on
their industry.
Mr. McGilvray explained the following options regarding glass were
available in the February 23, 1996 memorandum:
- I. Retain the sections relevant to glass control as currently
drafted;
- II. An option for Council to add "leaded stained glass" to the
list of permitted glazing types;

- III. Delete all controls on glass;
- IV. Regulate glass types in areas other than front door side
lights and transom lights.
Mr. McGilvray also advised that staff recommend two text revisions
as contained in the February 23, 1996 memorandum to City Council which
will result in more clearly describing inclusions and exclusions to
floor area calculations. A third memorandum from the Director of
Permits & Licenses addresses the enforcement issue, and suggests that
the draft RS-6 Zoning should be no more onerous to administer and
enforce than other zones that address matters of external design
regulation and landscaping.
Mr. McGilvray concluded that Council has heard many opinions from
delegations during the two meetings of the Public Hearing, but the
neighbourhood working group supports the draft RS-6 Zoning before
Council.
MOVED by Cllr. Hemer,
THAT the application be approved subject to the condition set out
in the January 18/February 6, 1996 Public Hearing Minutes with the
following amendments:
Section 4.7.4(a)(i) be amended to read as follows:
"(1) an amount equal to one-half times the basement and cellar
area excluded shall be deducted from the area allowed on
the first and second storeys as defined by section 4.7.1;
and".
Section 4.7.3(j) which deals with areas excluded from floor
space calculations should be deleted and the text of this
section relocated to a new Section 4.7.2(e) with the last
lines of 4.7.2(c) and 4.7.2(d) revised to reflect the addition
of this new section (e);
Section 4.7.2(c) - after the words "the excess height" add
"except the additional amount shall not be included where the
area of the floor above is excluded by section 4.7.3(i);"
