CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM

August 31, 1992
TO:

Councillor Mike Thompson
Councillor Michael Wright

FROM:

Janna Taylor, Parks & Recreation Director

SUBJECT:

Gsnstar Parksite ¹5

Historical Background
The Genstar Master Agreement for Parksite ¹5 has the developer agreeing
tc contribute $ 400,000 in cash towards the cost of a community facility. This
community facility must be designed and scheduled for completion within two
years of the issuance of a building permit for the 1000th dwelling unit within
the development. The exact wording of the agreement is attached to this

report.

There is also an additional $ 60,000 that has been added to this site. This
$ 60,000 comes from Parksite ¹2, the $ 60,000 was earmarked for tennis
courts in Parksite ¹2, but due to unstable soil conditions, the tennis courts
were not constructed.
We are ncw at the 1,000 building permit and a decision needs to be made as
tc what we wish to build on this site.

Funding
Currently there is $ 460,000 designated for this site. Parksite ¹3 funder the
power line) has been allocated $ 300,000 for development. This site initial(y
was to include a combination soccer/softball field with parking. Due to the
uncertainty of the effects of rays from the power lines, the Parks 8
Recreation Committee has concluded that it would not be appropriate to build
a soccer/softball field under the power lines. Therefore, some additional
monies could be utilized from this $300,000 towards the community facility;
perhaps a fioure of $ 150,000. Therefore, possible funding could amount to
$ 460,000+ $ 150,000 ~ $ 610,000.

-2Conrimunfty Facility

There hss been much discussion as to what constitutes a community faciiity.
The City's soiicitor has written his interpretation (which is attached for your
information). We are at a stage now where a decision must be made as to
what is going to be built on this site. An number of factors should be
considered which may influence this decision.
The demographics of this area suggests that there are 3.03 persons per
dwelling with each family having one or two children.
The other factors to note are those facilities that were identified in the Master
Plan as being important; the outdoor facilities included neighbourhood parks,
spray pools, trails and tennis courts. For new indoor facilities the top five
included a teen centre, fitness centre, indoor pool, theatre and an arts 6
crafts centre. l have attached the pertinent section of the Master Plan
dealing with these issues.

them a place to hang out
could be used during day for day programs ie. tots, etc
revenue generating

operating cost would be approximately $ 60,000
public reaction to such a facility in this area may be

negative
transportation for youth may be a problem

As you can see most of the options will require some operating costs. The
least costly beinc the tennis courts option. CInce Committee has made a
decision on the concept they wish, then a meeting should be set up
immediately with Lyle Armstrong and Kevin Smith of Genstar.

Dear Ms. Taylor:

REi CITADEL HEIGHTS - PARK SITE tf5
Attached please find a copy of the Southam Construction Cost Index (B.C. Series) for
the month of May, 1992. Based upon the terms of the hfaster Development Agreement
for Citadel Heights, and the hfadirication Agreement signed in March 1987, Genstar's
total contribution toward the "... community facility and two doubles tennis courts ..."
to be located on Park Sire 85 is $ 450,000 in 1985 dollars.
Converting to May 1992 dollars. this value would become approximately $ 574.000.00
(i.e. $ 450,000 in 1985 = 82% ot 1991 = $ 548,780 in 1991; for hfay 1992 = a 4.6%
increase from 1991 = $ 574,024.00).
I trust this is the information you were seeking.

response places a strong emphasis on cultural facilities and a
pool/fitness/banquet-meeting hall facility. Respondents representing households with
children are more likely to prefer a teen centre, fitness facilities, an indoor pool and
cultural facilities. Female respondents are more likely than male respondents to prefer
an art gallery, theatre, arts and craft studio and a pool, while male respondents are
more likely to prefer a large hall, Possibly for gym sports and banquets. The need for
a hall was also identified in the interest group interviews and includes a large banquet
hall capable of accommodating upwards of 850 people for convendons, meetings and
tournament banquets.
This

Respondents between the ages of 30 and 45 years are more likely to prefer a theatre,
pool and teen centre than other new facilities. This is a similar response to
households with children, and reflects the fact that this age group is more likely to
have families with children than o~her age grouPs.

Only a small percentage of respondents (10.8%) identified that no new facilities are
needed. This group is more likely to be represneted by senior and households

with information and a recommendation regarding our proposal to close the

O.A.P.O. representatives; Helen Milne, Thelma Forbes and Ken Hayes met
with Alete and myself to discuss their request for the O.A.P.O.'s annual

kitchen for caterers and use of the oven for caterers to warm
their plates
craft room for caterer's use (desserts/salads)
the program room for a coat room
cafe/lounge as a holding area for early arrivals
