NEWS AND UPDATES
Stage 2 Finalization of Sunnyside Heights (NCP #2) - UPDATE
The proposed Stage 2 Land Use Concept and engineering works were presented at a Public Open House on May 18, 2010. This meeting provided an opportunity for the public to comment on the proposed Stage 2 plan prior to presenting it to Council for final approval. Some feedback and correspondence received from the development community highlighted concerns related to the proposed enhanced drainage system and the transportation network and how these would affect land consolidation and development configurations within the area.
In response to the concerns raised, staff have met with various representatives of the development community and residents to address their concerns. Opportunities to advance the objectives of Surrey’s Sustainability Charter were also discussed. As a result of the discussions, staff have undertaken a number of actions in order to address concerns raised. These actions include:
Evaluating the opportunity to provide stormwater detention ponds in selected catchments of the NCP area, where the cost to provide these ponds are less than or equal to the enhanced infiltration system while meeting the same objectives;
Establishing an effective implementation plan for the enhanced infiltration system;
Establishing an equitable financial plan for the enhanced infiltration system;
Review / consider some minor changes to the road plans and finalize the network;
Review the impact engineering requirements will have on developable parcel size and site density; and
Evaluate the possibility of the neighbourhood being developed with LED street lighting.
Staff are expecting to seek Council’s endorsement of the Stage 2 Report this coming Fall.
