M 07/20//10 03:40 PM

APPLICANT: Kara Homes Ltd.

c/o Brian Hart Company Architect (Brian Hart)

4375 West River Road

Delta, BC V4K 1R9

PROPOSAL: To rezone the property from "Tourist Accommodation

Zone (CTA)" to "Comprehensive Development Zone (CD).

The purpose of the rezoning is to permit the development

of 32 single family detached residential dwellings on bare

land strata lots.

The Notice of the Public Hearing was read by the City Clerk. The location of the

property was indicated to the Public Hearing.

Barbara Leonard, Unit #20, 8254 – 134 Street (Westwood Estate), was in

attendance and commented that she is against the rezoning, she stated concern for

the relocation of the seniors living within the mobile homes at the site and in the

surrounding mobile parks, and also the precedence that would be set if Council

allowed this rezoning in the area.

Lillian Bailey, Unit #19, 8205 King George Highway, was in attendance and

commented that the subject site is not maintained and the trailer owners are trying

to upkeep the area surrounding their own trailers. The residents were told that a

year’s notice would be given to relocate their trailers to another site. Currently on

the site there are two mobile trailers, one person lives in a bus, another in a truck

trailer, and others live in manufactured homes on the site. The property owners

needs to clean up the site, and provide adequate water and electrical to the units.

The residents paid for pad rental and do not always have adequate water and

electrical to the site, there used to be a maintenance man on site but no longer.

Bob Colligan, Unit #106, 8224 – 134 Street, was in attendance and commented

that the site is backing on to the trailer court that he resides at. He stated that his

pad rental has increased due to higher maintenance cost, and that there is no

maintenance done on the site. He was concerned that the trailer court he resides

at will be the next site to be rezoned.

Doreen Mortensen, President of the Surrey Manufacture Home Association, Unit

#26 – 7850 King George Highway, was in attendance and commented that her

concerns are that the entrance into the site is from King George Highway; and that

there is a proposed future road that will be bounded by two other manufactured

home parks. She also stated that Squire Gates has approximately 11 units and

was concerned with what will happen with the residents and their homes as there

is nowhere for them to be relocated to. She also stated that the proposed two

storey dwellings views would be infringing on the privacy on the adjacent

properties.



M 07/20//10 03:40 PM

Darbinder Singh, 5742 – 134 Street, Property owner was in attendance and

commented that he will adhere to the Tenancy Act in relation to providing notice

and relocating the tenants. He advised that there is a maintenance person on site.

He stated that he took title of the property over a year ago, the site is a holding

property, he is hoping to clean up the site by putting new construction on the site;

the development application has been in process for approximately two years. He

has done other development in Surrey but not strata detached housing as proposed

on this site.

There was correspondence on table from M.R. & M. Wilson, and S. Hegg in

M 07/20//10 03:40 PM

Shannon Sommerfeld, 15168 – 36 Avenue, was in attendance and commented

that she is in support of this application, Surrey is a rapidly growing city, this

venue will be a high class and upscale business and people need a place that they

can go to.

Joanne Sidhu, 15021 – 75 Avenue, was in attendance and commented that she is

in support of this application, and believes that there is no concern for the children

that go to the Southridge School as they are kept on site during the school day and

either picked up or dropped off inside the school boundaries.

Magen Baecker, 14469 – 19 Avenue, was in attendance and commented that she

is in support of this application, and would like to have somewhere local to kick

up her heels rather than driving downtown Vancouver. There are only a couple

local pubs in the area and she does not want to go to a sports bar and there are few

restaurants all of which have a family atmosphere. She is hoping to have a place

that she could take her staff out to and in an ambience that reflects the business

she owns of higher and upscale home decor.

Nathan Hildebrand, Land Development Associate, Representing Surrey South

Shopping Centre Ltd. (SSSC) the developer of Grandview Corners Shopping

District, located at 24 Avenue and 160 Street- was in attendance and commented

that the proposed pub and liquor store are permitted uses as defined by the CD

zoning bylaw 15610, this specific bylaw outlines uses and restrictions governing

Grandview Corners District. Over the last year and half SSSC has been designing

Grandview Corners and has entertained many interested parties that wanted to

develop a pub. This north/east quadrant is aimed at provided a high end and

complete shopping experience for the emerging and surrounding community and

U Lounge description fits in with this concept of our development. U Lounge is

aiming for a specific demographic and SSSC will ensure that there are other

dining options available in the area, ie. Starbuck, Tim Horton, Take 5 cafe, Sushi

Restaurant and a Montana’s Restaurant. We have received our development

permit approval for this quadrant before City Council. As part of the detailed

design process we have purposely located the proposed neighbourhood pub as far

south and adjacent to 24 Avenue as possible, this allowed there to be a distance of

over 512 meters from the pub to the front door of South ridge school. SSSC is

excited about this development and feels that it will positively contribute to the

overall development and truly become a destination for other citizens of Surrey.

Brian Nosko, VP of Leasing, Smart Centre, and Resident, Unit #65, 14909 – 32

Avenue, was in attendance and commented that he is in support of this

application, for the development they wanted something that was unique and

upscale and coincide with he changing demographic of Surrey, the U-lounge is

that and more.

Adam Roberts, 12705 - 18A Avenue, and parent of two children at South ridge

School, was in attendance and commented that he has concerns for the application

not being site specific and that the school is only 200 meters away from this

proposal. He stated that he is concerned that patrons of the pub may interact with

students from the school, and he is concerned for after school hours. He also



M 07/20//10 03:40 PM

stated that a concern for the traffic patterns changing. If Council is to allow this

he is requesting that conditions be attached, specifically that the proposal be site

specific.

Terry and Paul Uppal, 15877 – 39 Avenue was in attendance and commented that

they are proposing an upscale establishment, and wanted to address the concerns

that were brought up during the public hearing this evening. He provided the

following comments:

Every person employed by at the U Lounge will have attended an intense

training program; and will also have their ‘serving it right’ certification.

There will be security systems in place, including additional security staff and

monitoring cameras.

The demographics for this type of restaurant is the 25 – 50 year old market.

Interior pictures were presented and reviewed. The U Lounge is trying to

create something more geared to the adult consumer.

Regarding Southridge School, prior to this Council meeting we had meeting

with William Jones at Southridge to address any concerns. During our

discussion he had no concerns. He also stated that the children are not

allowed to leave the school grounds during school hours and the primary

operating hours of the pub will be after school has been released.

Our establishment will be socially responsible.

U Lounge has submitted a petition in support of this development with over

200 signatures.

The U Lounge will have a specific address when the development reaches the

building permit stage.

In terms of capacity the U Lounge will have a total capacity of 295 patrons,

the U Lounge will also sign a ‘good neighbour’ agreement with the RCMP

and the Fire Department.

The U Lounge will only have background music and there is no intent to have

a dance floor or to become a nightclub.

The U Lounge will have a full menu, and will offer a variety of lunch items, at

night it will be a tapas type restaurant.

The primary patio of 70 seats will be facing 24 Avenue. The lease agreement

with Smart Centre stipulates what we can do in the building, and does not

allow a nightclub type of business.

There was a petition of 204 signatures on table from Terry Uppal expressing

support of the proposed project. There was correspondence on table from the
