The agenda order was varied.
Gary Pooni, Brook and Associates, appeared before Council to discuss the Sub-
Neighbourhood Plan. He noted that the Plan was previously endorsed by Council
and commented that there were three items to be addressed: update on public open
house with the residents west of 199 Street, phasing of commercial and residential
development, and size of commercial development. He noted that the proposed
plan was well received by 199 Street residents, that these residents desire inclusion
within the Plan boundary, and have a general understanding for cost sharing.
He noted that it is vital to the success of future development that the commercial
node be in place in advance of the seniors’ residential development and he
requested 40,000sf of the total +/-150,000sf be allowed to proceed before the
residential phase, with an anchor tenant. He continued that the scale and type of
commercial development would be local, a pedestrian-friendly design, and would
provide economic and social benefits.
Dan Paris, VanCity Enterprises, appeared before Council to discuss the Jericho sub-
Neighbourhood Plan. He commented that he was speaking on behalf of area
residents and noted that they had an interest in seeing the successful development
of seniors’ residential. He continued that the proposed development of a shopping
centre is not premature in that there is sufficient demand for capital investment. He
noted that there are currently over 17,000 people in the Willoughby area driving to
other areas for daily needs. He added that the centre would not be a stand alone
project and would be integrated into the overall development, based on increased
pedestrian access. He noted that a 40,000sf conventional sized neighbourhood
centre is intended to provide exactly the level of service required at the corner of 80
Avenue and 200 Street. He requested Council allow commercial development to
proceed in advance of residential development, and that residential tenant space be
increased to a maximum of 15,000sf.
Peter Hume, Hume Consulting Corporation, was in attendance and spoke to the
need for sustainable commercial development as part of the comprehensive plan,
utilizing a integrated merchandising mix and design as population grows. He
continued that the development would be pedestrian friendly and would become
increasingly more so as further commercial is built to serve local Willoughby
residents, Langley Business Park, Carvolth Business Park and the Langley Events
Centre areas, as well as providing jobs and increased services. He indicated that
the developer and current market would support commercial development now. He
commented that residential development would be built sooner with the proposed
commercial development than otherwise, based on current market trends.

File 0550-07
Alan Hendricks appeared before Council to discuss the Provincial Agricultural Land
Commission Application No. 100178. He commented that the property located at
216 Street and 44 Avenue features two houses with two owners and only one title,
meaning that the houses cannot be sold independently of each other, creating an
awkward situation. He continued that the Agricultural Land Act states that anything
less than 2 acres is not subject to the Agricultural Land Reserve Act, provided the
property has not been subdivided or substantially changed. He advised that the
subject lot is 1.6 acres in size and not in the ALR. He continued that 44 Avenue is a
half road presenting safety issues, and noted that the property had not been farmed
for the past 11 years. He added that area residents indicated they would be
satisfied with the subdivision of the property into half acre lots and he then discussed
a proposal for the establishment of an Agricultural Enhancement Trust Fund.
4. Dave Melnychuk
File 0550-07
Dave Melnychuk appeared before Council to discuss the Provincial Agricultural Land
Commission Application No. 100178. He confirmed the previous speaker’s
comment that the land is marginal for agricultural use. He suggested incorporating
several tools for edge planning with the main pillar being a buffer zone and use of
covenants for residents to acknowledge the presence of farming in the area and
appropriate signage. He continued that Council should consider establishing a
Langley Agriculture Enhancement Trust Fund similar to the Vancouver Foundation
to deal with such issues as water concerns, young people in agriculture, capping
wells, and more efficient irrigation systems. He noted this is a good opportunity to
test edge planning processes and providing opportunities for people to meet to
discuss concerns and develop solutions.
Councillor Bateman left the meeting at 5:18 p.m. and rejoined the meeting at
5:20 p.m.

REPORT TO
MAYOR AND COUNCIL
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Council give approval to enter into a Modification of Assignment and Assumption
Agreement for Lot 48 at Langley Regional Airport with Aries Construction Management Limited
effective September 1, 2009 for a term of thirty (30) years, with a five (5) year Option to Renew;
and further
That Council give approval to Aries Construction Management Limited to construct a facility to
environment, building, and fire code requirements for aviation commercial business.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Due to organizational restructuring, Vector Aerospace Helicopter Services Inc., formerly
ACROHELIPRO Global Services Inc. requested a surrender of its Lease Agreement for Lot 48
at Langley Regional Airport (Attachment A) on December 6, 2007 prior to construction of its
planned facility. The Township did not agree to the surrender. Subsequently, a proposal to lease
and develop Lot 48 (Attachment B) was received from Aries Construction Management Limited.
This company has an established background of development at Langley Airport, having
constructed the new 47,000 square foot building for the lessee of Lot 47. The intent of Aries
Construction is to build a facility on Lot 48 for sale or lease to aviation related business as
approved by Council.
Considering Aries Construction proposal and further negotiations with Vector Aerospace
Helicopter Services Inc., a resultant Modification Assignment and Assumption Agreement
(Attachment C) is proposed for Council approval. Once executed, this Agreement would release
Vector Aerospace from its Lease Agreement effective September 1, 2009 and establish a thirty
year Lease Agreement from that date with Aries Construction Management Limited.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report is to seek Council approval regarding the assignment and
assumption of a lease agreement.

LANGLEY REGIONAL AIRPORT – LOT 48
LEASE ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT
WITH ARIES CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT LIMITED
Page 2. . .
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
Should approval be granted, Township will be paid in full by Vector Aerospace for its lease of
Lot 48 to August 31, 2009. Additionally, Aries Construction will pay annual rent of $53,324.66,
plus GST, for the period September 1, 2009 to August 31, 2010.
Previously, Council gave approval authorizing the Langley Regional Airport to make a grant
application to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for a financial contribution under
the Transportation Partnerships Program. The purpose of the grant is to assist with costs to
pave a portion of the grass runway to park visiting aircraft and helicopters over the period of the
2010 Olympic Games and beyond. In April 2009, the Township received a letter from Ministry
of Transportation and Infrastructure granting a maximum of $290,000 toward the $870,000 total
cost. Aries Construction has agreed to provide up to $290,000 tenant improvements by
partnering with the Langley Regional Airport and the provincial government to pave a potion of
the grass runway in accordance with the grant application. Aries commitment depends upon
completion of the lease process for the leased property. The design and construction of the
paving project will also ensure the paved area could be used for future community and airport
purposes.

opinion. He continued that the Agreement states that BC Hydro kept the passenger
rights over the Pratt-Livingston Corridor in perpetuity at no cost, up to 33% of the
wheelage, as a key part of the Master Agreement when they sold off rolling stock
and equipment in 1988. Secondary to that an annexation was provided with a 21
year renewal clause signed August 29, 1988, which is up for renewal this year.
Mayor Green noted that he wished to protect public access and the Corridor.
A brief discussion ensued and R. Poznikoff noted that the rights that BC Hydro
retains are 33% of wheelage at no cost. When running large trains, costs would
significantly increase when converting to passenger rail traffic.
Mayor Green commented that BC Hydro has to maintain ownership of the Right-of-
Way to maintain running rights. CP Rail and BC Hydro or its assigns would have to
design how freight and passenger traffic cohabitate. He noted that the concept has
the approval of both Langley MLAs; that the Master Agreement is clear that
assignment can be either freight or passenger traffic; and that there has been
confirmation that BC Hydro has renewed the Agreement (21 year increment).
The question was raised as to the location of connecting points along the Corridor.
Discussion then took place relative to the Fraser Valley Heritage Rail Society
(FVHRS) project to run passenger rail service further into the Fraser Valley.
R. Mufford commented that the FVHRS currently has an Agreement in place with the
City of Surrey to run a demonstration passenger rail service from Cloverdale to
Sullivan Station. He continued that they are in the process of undertaking the
engineering for preload for a spur line to Southern Railway of British Columbia’s
system for 2010, largely funded by City of Surrey, but also through cash
contributions. He added that Southern Railway is quite accommodating in assisting
the Society. The FVHRS is hoping that they can run some excursions further afield;
their initial thrust is to run on weekends as a tourist attraction between Cloverdale
and Sullivan Station; they do not have permission to run out to Langley or
Abbotsford at this time, but the Society is working towards that goal.
Next agenda:
Staff to explore a request to extend the FVHRS demonstration line into Langley.
