ITEM

II:

COIONT FARMS

The Committee reconsidered information submitted by Mr. Paul Dutton during the
meeting of January 9, 1991 and also additional information Mr. Dutton
submitted January 16, 1991 on Colony Farms. The material wss found to be
extremely thorough, informative and self ezplanitory. Mell Mr. Dutton's
submission covered the whole Colony Farms area it acknowledges that the
casters side, or wilson Farm, are within the boundaries of Port Coquitlam and
the western portion, Holm Farm, is in the District of Coquitlam.

Orgfnally& the Poco Citizens for Colony Farm Delegation, through Mr. Dut ton
requested that Council pass resolutions firstly to maintain Colony Farm as
green space and secondly to correspond with the B.C. Racing Commission
indicating Port Coquitlam is not interested in a horse racing track being
placed in the Colony Farm.

II+ II! I.iiilllS

After considerable discussion, the Committee decided that the strongest and
clearest resolution that could be passed would be one that simply states that
Colony Farm be preserved as a green Space. Therefore, Committee recommends to
Council that:

-stllll

They approve a resolution supporting the preservation of Colony
Farm as green space aod perpetuity, and

If!me~i
NF44im85
—

That Mr. Robert E. Collie of the B.C. Racing Commission be advised
of Council 's decision on this matter.

Alderman John Keryluk

Port Coquitlam
14. 1. 91

Dear John,
I hope that this material is what you wanted. You wi 11
immediately see that though I have tried to be factual,
I could not
help at the end putting the case in favour of preservation
one more
time.

It simply seems to me to be an issue on which we need to do the
right thing for our children and grandchildren.
This is not some
local corner lot that Council can rezone as it sees
fit„ but Port

Coquitlam"s community Corner Lot.

Nor do I think that we can any longer think that Colony Farm will
solve our tax problems. This land belongs to the people,
the
taxman. It is time for Council to have a wider vision of not
what is
good and necessary for a well-balanced municipality„ one that blends
residences„ industry, and green space. Everything can't
be for sale„
especially when the people want so clearly to preserve this
land.
I remember very well the comments you made about
Farm at
the second All Candidates meeting. You and your kind Colony
now have a
majority on Council. What the Poco Citizens for Colony Farm have
propcsed to the Environment Committee is simplicity itself. Nove
that Colony Farm should stay Green and go on record as opposing a
I" acct rack
~

The political will of the people on this issue was expressed
clearly in the municipal election and I can assure
that it will
the upcoming provincial election. Moroever, Nike flarcourt is on bethein
record as wanting to keep Colony Farm iGreen and he may well be the
next premier. Even the Socreds seem sof t on the issue at present.

Please phone me if I can do anything more. We can give you lots
of moral and public support„but ultimately (moderates that we are)
we are looking to you, our elected off icials, for guidance and

PIISI mes~[I/

support.

DESCRIPTION OF THE LAND

Colony Farm is

a parcel of agricultural land divided into two
parts by the Coquitlam
River. The
ter n portion lying in the
municipality of Coquitlam contains we
259
acres of land and is commonly
called the Home Farm. The eastern portion
within the
municipality of Port Coquitlam contains 858 lying
acres
and is called the
Wilson Farm &see Appendices 1. 1 8 2&.
Both portions of
Farm are protected from floodwater
four miles of dikes. Colony
The British Columbia Buildings Corporationby
maintains these dikes and spent f86,840 on dike and ditch maintenance
in 1988 (see App. 4. 1„ letter of

Premier Vander Zalm&.

A provincial sales prospectus described
Colony Farm as "one
the largest contiguous blocks
of high-capability farm land in a of
single production unit in
Lower Fraser Valley.
arm h as
y farm
th m suitability to produce the
almost every agricultural Colony
commodity
in the Lower Framer Valley Candl the Lower Fraser River Valley grown
is a
major contributor to provincial farm cash receipts, producing 78/
of
the vegetables„ 97/ of the blueberries and cranberries, and
accounting for 14/ of the provincial dairy cow numbers." &App. 1.1)
The fields at Colony Farm have been rated as 1 to 8 on the
soil
quality scale, with most of the finest
land lying in the Wilson Farm.
It is particularly well suited to the production
of blueberries and
cash crops and in the siaties and seventie- estabiished
production
records for the Lower Fraser Valley.
The Provincial Government has, as well, long recogni"ed the
impar:.ance of Colony Farm to both the environment
and wildlife of the
region. Premier Vender Zalm assured local residents
the British
Columia Buildings Corporation "has undertaken a numberthat
o+
important
initiatives to preserve
environmental and wildlife aspects of
this property." (App. 4. the
1) The Corporation has in fact posted signs
at the entrances to both the Home and Wilson Farms alerting walkers
that they are entering valuable
bird nesting territory and should
keep their dogs under control. The Burke Mountain
have
compiled a lengthy list of the birds that nssi and Naturalists
live at Colony
Farm.

The Coquitlam River has also been an important salmon stream,
though dame upstream have diminished i ts quality.

Colony Farm is also the central low-land
ga-ed upon by
thousands of Port Coquitl am and Coquitl am who point
1 ive on the highlands
around the f arm.

RACETRACK TALK

The future of Colony Farm became a quiet issue until October 24
1990 when the Ministry of the Solicitor General gave a news release
to the press &see App. 3.3). Solicitor General Russell Fraser gave
the green light to the British Columbia Racing Commission to call for
specific proposal» for a one-mile racetrack to be located in the
Lower Mainland. The Provincial Government agreed to assist. in
servicing the debt of the developer by foregoing two percentage
points on its share of the thoroughbred handle for ten tears. The
deadline for these proposals is I'larch la 1991 (App. 3. 3 )k 3.4).

This announcement brought back all the fears of Coquitlam and
Port Coquitlam residents about an unsuitable development being
located in Colony Farm. They argued that the problems crea&'.ed by
excessive traffica noise pollutiona soil and air pollution„ and
increased crime all made Colony Farm the wrong place for a
racetrack. Mr. Gary Newman, the President of Colony Farm Ltd.„
immediately began to claim that the placement of the track at Colony
Farm was aa done deal." &see App. 3.5& A working map of the plans
for Colony Farm by this developer (see App. 2& reveals that Colony
Farm Ltd. would totally occupy the Wilson Farm with parking lots &1/3
or about i00 acres of the land), with barns and buildings for the
horses &again 1/3 or about &00 acres)„ and finally with two tracks
located at the north end (1/3 or more of the land, some 100+ acres&.
Surprisingly, and despite the fact that it would be difficult to find
much beyond asphalt and buildings at the site, the developers claim
that the land would remain in the Agricultural Land Reserve.
The Mayor of Coquitlam immediately wrote to Mr. Robert E. Collie,
Executive Director of the B.C. Racing Commission, that Coquitlam
remained uninterested in a racetrack at Colony Farm (App. 3.(a&.
In the municipal election held in mid-November 1990 in Port
Coquitlam Colony Farm became according to a number of the candidates
and reporters a central issue, and one that influenced the outcome of
the election as many Poco residents expressed themselves at the
polls. Residents clearly expressed their displeasure at the thought
of a ractrack in their community and overwhelmingly expressed the
desire to elect candidates who would work towards a reasonable
solution of the Colony Farm issue. As with the residents meeting
held in October 1989„ they once again made it clear that they wanted
Colony Farm to remain green and they looked to candidates who would
speak on their behalf.
What has in addition -hanged since 1989 is the ongoing
construction of the Wes& view subdivision. Hundreds of new resi dents
are pouring into Port Coquitlam and buying properties that overlook
Colony Farm. One of the developers indeed has posted a sign that
advertises "View Lots For a Lifetime!" These new residents are
shocked to learn that the conditions under which they purchased their
properties might be arbitrarily changed by politicians and
developers. Mary Hill residents are reminded of the outcome of the
Delta and Richmond elections and think that they played their own
small part in keeping the Lower Fraser Valley green.

THE GQVERNI"IENT" S POSITION

Where do we stand now?

What

is clear from letters received from

Premier Vander Zalm and Minister Carol Bran (see App. 4. 1-2) r from
Russell Frasers" s Press Release of'ct. 24 (see App. 5. 5), and from
Mr. Robert Collis'tatement to Mayor Sekora (App. 5. 6) is that all
government officials agree that Colony Farm will not be developed
against the wishes of the local residents or municipality.
It lies within th power of the municipality of Port Coquitlam,
therefore, to determine what will or„ rather, can not be done to the

Wilson Farm. Residents have quite clearly stated their opposition to
unsuitable development and will continue to do so.

These residents reject the increased traffic„ the air pollution,
the further decline of the Coquitlam River, the destruction of
wildlife„ and the noise pollution that will surely accompany a
racetrack or any other large-scale industrial, commercial, or
spectator development at Colony Farm. They stand for a Colony Farm
that will remain green for al 1 Port Coquitlam, now and in the future.
Largely by accident, the wonderful piece of land that we call
Colony Farm remains in our midst and remains green. As Port
Coquitlam continues to grow we shall more and more begin to treasure
just how ektraordinary Colony Farm is. Surely it is time for the
City Council of Port Coquitlam to take its rightful leadership on
this issue. Surely it is time to think about the generations of Poco
residents 25 or 50 years from now who will thank their lucky stars
that in 1991 a municipal council had the courage and foresight to
preserve this piece of land in its green character. All it would
take is a motion stating that Port Coquitlam sought to keep Colony
Farm Green and a letter to Mr. Collie stating that we were not
interested in seeing a racetrack established on the Wilson Farm. The
Provincial Government has repeatedly stated that it will respect
municipal desires in this matter. The loyal opposition in the
provincial legislature has committed itself to 'Keeping Colony Farm
Green.'nd we all know that an election is just months off.
The time has arrived for the politicians of Port Coquitlam to act
as the true custodians of that emerald land that lies within our
borders.

Dutton:

for your letter outlining your concerns
any change of use at Colony Farm.
e no doubt aware, the Colony Farm lands were
surplus to the needs of the (then) Jviinistry of
re several years ago. Marketing
by
sh Columbia Buildings Corporation activity
has been held
ce at the direction of Cabinet for the last two
ding completion and review of a study on
future uses for this land.
s of whether a government use is selected or
rty is again declared surplus for disposal to
c at large, any permitted uses of the land will
r the purview of the
Councils and the
ral Land Commission. local
Accordingly, I suggest
may wish to make your views known to those
ction it is to control land use.
again for bringing your concerns to my
attention. I am conFident
that a use for this land,
which will be to the optimal benefit of the residents
of
the municipalities concerned, can be achieved.

Mr. Dutton:

recent letter and enclosed petition on
subject of Colony Farm, I can appreciate that
ulation in the press concerning the development of the
ny Farm lands may have caused you and other community
dents concern.
e certain proposals have been put forward, I wish to
re you that this government has no predisposition to
development of these lands for a race track, theme
PHE site, or any other type of development.
ash to further assure you that no proposals for the
elopment of Colony Farm would be entertained by
ernment unless there was an appropriate level of
xcipal and community acceptance. In the event that a
mal proposal was brought forward, further opportunities
community input would be available during public
rings as part of the normal municipal development
approval process.
l trust this alleviates some of your concerns.
Sincerely,
k you for your

Also, a pilot composting program for City grass and brush trimmings, plus
residential curbside leaf collection, could be started in 1991. The results
of this pilot program would form the basis for developing a full composting
program in 1992.

It is
