April 12 revisions to the proposed development following the Public Information Meeting of March 16. Comments requested on or before Friday April 16.
Landscape Buffer Changes & 196 Street Road Upgrades
196 Street Road Upgrades
- Revisions to the road upgrades for the western side of 196 include:
o Removal of bike lane
o Removal of on-street parking
o Removal of the 1.8m sidewalk that is replaced with a 4.0m MUP (multi-use pathway). The MUP meanders and in some areas is 3.0m wide to accommodate existing tree retention
Note: The transportation department with the City of Surrey is currently reviewing comments that were provided on the concerns with speed along 196 Street. This would be a separate process and would not be tied to this specific application.
Landscape Buffer Changes
- Landscaped berm has been revised to be 2m (6’-6”) high. The berm will include a 3m wide plateau at the top with a 3:1 slope on each side. Where tree retention is proposed, the plateau will be 1m wide with a 3.5:1 slope.
- Addition of a solid sound attenuating wall has been added to the top of the 2m high berm. This wall will be a precast concrete fence at a height of 3m (9’-10”). The wall will be continuous along the eastern property line from north to south.
- Total height of combined berm and sound attenuating wall will be 5m (16’-4”).
- Revision to trees that will be planted within the buffer that is composed of primarily native conifers which occupy this land naturally. This includes a large amount of douglas-fir, western red cedar, western white pine, grand fir and hemlock.
- Removal of pedestrian pathways connecting the proposed development and 196 Street.
- The City of Surrey has agreed to allow the installation of the landscape buffer prior to the start of construction of the proposed development.
