Secondary suites may soon be ‘legit’ Staff recommend going ahead with program Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Burnaby’s status as one of the few Metro Vancouver municipalities that doesn’t allow secondary suites could soon come to an end. Burnaby city staff is recommending council approve implementation of its proposed

secondary suites program after it met with majority support in a public opinion survey conducted last spring. Although there are almost 6,000 of them in Burnaby, secondary suites are currently illegal in Burnaby and all it takes to have one shut down by bylaw inspectors is a complaint to city hall from a neighbour. The proposed program was

developed partly due to community requests for such affordable housing that came out of the process for the city’s social sustainability strategy. The city received 130 completed public opinion surveys for the program which asked people’s input on five aspects of the program. On the program’s objectives, 80 per cent agreed with the city’s aims which include increasing safety standards of suites, protecting

affordable housing and ensuring impacts on neighbourhoods are minimized. Of the 17 per cent who did not agree, concerns cited included the impact of suites on the livability of single-family neighbourhoods. The plan would: • limit suite size to 970 sq. ft. or 40% of total floor area of the house, whichever is less Please see burNAby, A3

A man who went into medical distress while in Burnaby RCMP custody has died in hospital, says the Independent Investigations Office of B.C. (IIO), which is investigating the incident. Just before 6 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 18, Burnaby RCMP responded to a complaint at a home near Cambridge Street in North Burnaby, says the IIO. At the scene, officers found a man in medical distress. They placed him in a police car then noticed his condition deteriorating. Paramedics were called and emergency medical care was given before the man was taken to hospital, where he died the next day. The civilian-led IIO, which investigates cases of death or injury involving police, was notified at 7:17 a.m. on the day of the incident and immediately sent investigators to the scene. “Investigators have completed initial activities including identifying and interviewing witnesses, conducting a neighbourhood canvass and obtaining other forensic evidence,” said the IIO. see IN-CuStODy, A4

The plan would: • set minimum suite size of 344 sq. ft. • require an additional off-street parking space for homes with a suite The city proposal that received the lowest amount of respondent support in the survey was the 54 per cent seen in the question regarding the proposed licence and utility fees for suites, which also saw the largest number of comments and suggestions, the staff report said. The proposed fees are: • business licence and application fee of $270 • water and sewer fees of about $500 annually • requirement that all homes with suites have medium-sized

Survey results: • 66% supported proposed rules • some respondents who objected cited concerns parking-space requirement inadequate • others said parking requirements prevent homeowners from creating legal suites and were against city policies to encourage transit use.

City hall’s proposal: Re: Proposed building permit process: • city hall to offer free suite feasibility reports first two years of the program to help owners legalize existing suites • encouraging new houses built to accommodate suites in future Re: Legalizing current suites: • prioritize complaints from people who live at or own a property within 200 metres of illegal suite • shutting down suites in duplexes or multiple suites in single-family homes subject of complaints

garbage toter for $205 Those opposed felt the fees were too high and would affect rental rates, make homeownership financially difficult, and discourage property owners from legalizing suites. Others felt the fees were not high enough to pay for suites’ impact on city services, the report said, noting one of the major concerns of residents over suites is that their owners don’t pay their fair share. The report noted that the fees are consistent with what is being charged in other municipalities in the region. “A cautious and deliberate approach by the City in developing its own policies and programs has allowed Burnaby to build on valuable insights gained through the experience of other Metro Vancouver municipalities.” If approved by council, the necessary bylaws could be in place by Jan. 1, 2014. The second phase of implementation would include a public information program while in the third phase, property owners of existing unauthorized suites could be billed for utility fees starting Jan. 1, 2015. The report noted that the number of illegal suites rivals that of the city’s total non-market housing stock of about 6,175 units. According to BC Assessment Authority records, there are currently about 5,878 illegal secondary suites in Burnaby, or a suite in 20 per cent of single-family homes, according to an earlier city staff report. That’s in addition to the 426 legal in-law suites which are registered and must be occupied by a family member.

Now that Adrian Dix has announced he’s stepping down as leader of the BC NDP, Burnaby-New Westminster MP Peter Julian is considering a run for the leadership of the party. Julian, a federal New Democrat, said he really admired Dix but wasn’t surprised by his announcement last week. Since then, he’s started receiving more calls asking him to consider a leadership bid. He said he’d been approached earlier but wasn’t willing to consider it while Dix remained leader. “People both in caucus and outside of caucus have approached me to run,” Julian confirmed. Those that have contacted him have cited Julian’s business experience before entering politics, his blue-collar background, having worked as a labourer before returning to university, and his strong links with the diverse community in Burnaby, including the South Asian, Chinese, Taiwanese and African communities.

In-custody incident ⫸

continued from FRONT PAGE

“Additional support was provided by the investigator who works with affected persons and their families.” As the investigation is in its preliminary stages, the IIO is not releasing any additional information at this time. The BC Coroners Services said Friday it is not yet releasing the man’s name as they are still attempting to notify his family. The incident took place in the 4200-block of Cambridge Street, between Carleton and Madison avenues. As reported in the NewsLeader, area resident Jodie Wenschlag, 42, said she heard a commotion at about 6 a.m. which sounded like men yelling as they were running up the street. Police arrived immediately, she said, and made a shirtless man stay seated on the sidewalk. Another neighbour, Mitchell Sayers, 21, said he woke at about 6:30 a.m. to see flashing lights outside and looked out to find paramedics trying to resuscitate a young man who appeared to be of Asian heritage. The man’s jacket, shoes and shopping bag remained in the middle of the road at the scene hours afterwards. Sayers said there was blood on his sister’s car parked on the street as well as bloody hand and fingerprints on the rear door of a police cruiser. twitter.com/WandaChow

Politicians back four-year terms Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Nick Volkow, city councillor It takes you (three years) to find where the washrooms are in the building.

they’re already trying to get re-elected, possibly affecting some voting decisions. Less frequent elections would also be less expensive for city taxpayers, Volkow said. And for municipal politicians who successfully make the jump into provincial or federal politics and get elected as MLAs, aligning the timing of civic and once-every-four-years senior government elections could reduce the need for expensive by-elections. Volkow said that there was less support for longer terms among politicians from rural communities who are paid “very nominal” amounts for their council work compared to their counterparts in urban municipalities. He suggested one solution could be to adopt the model of Saskatchewan, where politicians in urban communities have the longer term while those in rural

areas have only two-year terms. Coun. Pietro Calendino did not attend the UBCM convention, but was also supportive of four-year terms, largely for the “huge cost savings” involved. It costs Burnaby about $1 million to run an election, Calendino said. While he stressed it doesn’t really affect Burnaby council, on which the Burnaby Citizens Association enjoys a monopoly, he agreed that four years would give municipal councillors an extra year to vote how they see fit without worrying about hurting their re-election chances. As it is, in the year leading up to an election, “like the provincial government or the federal government they’d make decisions that are not necessarily for the common good.”

Burnaby councillor Nick Volkow was among the 60 per cent of delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention last week that voted in favour of four-year terms for municipal politicians. The motion called for the period between elections be extended from three years to four starting with the next civic vote in November 2014. Such a move would still require the approval of the provincial government. If approved, B.C. would join every other province in Canada to have four-year terms for local politicians. As it is, for a new councillor, Volkow said facetiously, the first year “it takes you that long to find where the washrooms are in the building.” By year two, they’d just be developing an understanding of how the system works at city hall, then by the third year

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Democracy denied?

LAST WEEK:

Out front of the big stone building in Victoria’s Inner Harbour is where tourists snap pics, where the annual marathon has its finish line and where concerts are held on Canada Day. The grounds of the legislature are busy, except as a place of work for our 85 elected provincial representatives. With another fall sitting cancelled, MLAs will have sat in the chamber for 36 days this year. Good work if you can get it. Cancelling legislative sessions has become the norm for the B.C. Liberals. House leader Mike de Jong has repeated the script four times now—he has announced the cancellation of the fall sitting in 2013, 2012, 2008 and 2006. Each time, the NDP opposition registered its outrage with the media, declaring the cancellation an abdication of democracy and accusing the Liberals of trying to avoid tough issues and questions. Premier Christy Clark points out the legislature sat in the summer after the spring election and that the government will get more work done not being in session. The government apparently can’t walk and chew gum at the same time. The province is facing big questions about the direction of its energy policy, the shrinking provincial budget surplus (or increasing deficit, depending on who you talk to), increasing B.C. Hydro rates and our role as a Pacific Rim economy. No matter your political stripe, B.C. residents should be skeptical of the claim the government has no pressing legislation or issues to discuss through the fall. City councillors and mayors normally don’t get the luxury of cancelling public meetings. Other than promoting liquefied natural gas as a future cash cow, the Liberals’ priorities for the next four years remain unclear. For a full public accounting of our rising provincial debt and struggling budget, stay tuned, five months from now. —Victoria News/Black Press

Regulator’s reading on smart meters VICTORIA – Despite efforts to keep the smart meter “controversy” alive by repeating imaginary health claims, the end is near. Energy Minister Bill Bennett has made what sounds like a final offer to holdouts. You want to keep your old mechanical meter, fill your boots. It’ll cost you an extra $35 a month, starting in December. If you insist on a “radio off ” wireless meter, there will be a setup fee of $100 and a monthly fee of $20 to have someone collect the readings. These charges are to be reviewed by the B.C. Utilities Commission, the independent panel that smart meter opponents want to review BC Hydro’s whole smart grid project. As it happens, the BCUC recently did just that for an application by FortisBC to install wireless meters for its Okanagan and Kootenay customers. The meters were approved, and the findings are instructive. The BCUC report notes that it received “many” complaints about smart meter signals being added to existing radio frequency

(RF) sources. Some used familiar scare rhetoric about “toxic microwave radiation” that’s promoted by people trying to make money by exploiting fear. One of the experts retained by FortisBC was Dr. Yakov Shkolnikov, an electrical engineer with advanced degrees from Princeton and Cornell Universities. His testimony was not challenged by any of the lineup of opponents. A sample of his findings illustrates the absurdity of this whole discussion. Shkolnikov calculated that a cell phone in use generates radio signals that reach 10 per cent of the international safety code limit. A microwave oven generates 2.3 per cent of the safe limit. A cordless phone: 1.25 per cent.

7438 Fraser Park Dr., Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9 newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com burnabynewsleader.com | newwestnewsleader.com

A wi-fi signal: 0.0045 per cent. A bank of smart meters, not separated by a wall, registers 0.0019 per cent. The natural background RF level is 0.013 per cent. Note the decimal place. The level in the middle of a wilderness is more than 10 times that received from a bank of meters. BCUC staff added, for comparison, the radio signal level emitted by a human body. It’s 0.018 per cent. What this means is your spouse snoring beside you is a stronger source of RF than a whole wall of smart meters. Experts put up by opponents didn’t fare so well. One was Jerry Flynn, a retired Canadian Forces officer from Kelowna who travels around taking readings, talking to elderly people about alleged hazards of meters, and making claims to the media about what he has called the single biggest threat to human health today. The BCUC found his military experience not “relevant,” and his evidence frequently “incorrect, exaggerated and/or unsubstantiated.” Then there was Curtis Bennett, who described himself as “chief

science officer” for a company called Thermoguy. He spoke on behalf of West Kootenay Concerned Citizens. In a 2012 letter to the B.C. energy ministry, Bennett warned of the danger of smart meters triggering “molecular earthquakes.” The BCUC panel wrote: “While Mr. Bennett has an electrician’s knowledge of electrical systems, it is clear that he is unqualified to give expert opinion evidence on the health effects of RF, exposure standards for RF, engineering, physics or geological phenomena such as earthquakes.” Citizens for Safe Technology put up one Dr. Donald Maisch, who claimed to have experience with this issue in Australia. The panel noted that Maisch runs EMFacts Consultancy, and agreed with FortisBC’s argument that “Dr. Maisch’s consulting livelihood depends upon public fears and concerns about RF exposure.” Would you like this circus of quackery to be restaged over BC Hydro’s program, at your expense?

COMMENT

Old-school teaching does not merit a salute Re: Salute to teachers, welts and all (Column, NewsLeader, Sept. 20) Chris Foulds’ column prompted me to write. I suppose everyone thrives differently, but when I read about the teacher that he looked up to, a Mr. Gladman, I was horrified. I was about 10 years old when a teacher hurled a baseball bat across the room. Mr. Smith had lost his temper because the classroom was too unruly for his liking. Well, his behaviour terrorized me for the rest of the year. Being terrorized into submission is not a pleasant feeling. It was bad enough being abused at home, but now when I came to school and was treated similarly, I grew up believing violence and abuse was “normal,” since it was all around me. It took me years of therapy to begin to trust humanity. I would not recommend holding a violent teacher up as some kind of role model today. I question how many people grow up thinking that kind of behaviour is somehow acceptable and civilized. Perhaps that is one reason so much bullying goes on with no one knowing how to get a handle on it. E. Harrison Burnaby

Trapped among some resolutions of dubious viability was one presented by the City of Burnaby regarding social housing. The situation with regards to affordable and social housing in British Columbia and especially in the Lower Mainland is becoming impossible for local governments to address on their own, with the impact of this problem being felt by citizens who are being forced to move further away from the city centre just to find affordable places to live.

ISLAMIST MOTIVES DANGEROUS Re: It’s just opinion (Letters, NewsLeader, Sept. 6) The way Mr. Jason Lee responded to the decision by TransLink to allow the antiIsrael “disappearing Palestine” ads to stay up is probably representative of most British Columbians. However, my reason for having tried to bring the issue to the attention of fellow travellers is precisely the opposite of Mr. Lee’s deductions. The ads are not the opinion of an individual, but outright lies, and another clever attempt by one more Palestinian support group to introduce us gently to their demands. They do not spend $15,000 to vent an opinion, the ads are meant to collect funds and sympathy, which becomes quite clear when you visit their website CanPalNet and others. The group is taking advantage of all legal protection afforded to all citizens in democratic countries. However, law goes by the wayside when others take liberties with Islam. Think Danish cartoons or the murders of filmmaker Theo Van Gogh in Amsterdam or the British soldier in London, to name a few. Let’s also remember that over 100,000 people have died during the past two years in Syria, mainly because they belonged to another stripe of Islam. The Boston marathon reminded us how many people

must continue life minus a limb plus other major problems when “only” two casualties die. No matter who used gas in Syria, they were Islamists (political Islam). None of the reasons given for these acts of terror are acceptable in our society, but must be “logical” outcomes in Islamist thinking. The ads on TransLink are designed to look innocent enough. However, the charters of Hamas and Fatah state clearly that Israel has no right to exist. Islam deals with the rights of infidels. We have none! When the war against the Ottoman Empire was won all Arab nations were established in their present form, more or less. The League of Nations voted in 1917 that Palestine was to be a homeland for Jews. In those days local Jews were called “Palestinians” and todays Palestinians were called Arabs. Not only did Israel have to wait till 1948 for the United Nations to finally agree, its land area was considerably reduced in size because the present Kingdom of Jordan had been wittled off the original plan. Middle East maps displayed in Gazan kindergartens and schools do not show Israel. Does anyone honestly believe they harmlessly represent an “opinion”? Ziggy Eckardt Burnaby

Tentative CUPE deal leaves Burnaby school district seeking $1.5M in savings Province requiring school districts to find money for wage hikes Wanda Chow

wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) has reached a tentative deal for its school support workers, giving school districts a better idea of how much money they’ll have to come up with. CUPE’s framework deal with BC Public Schools Employers’ Association, which has yet to be ratified, is for a 3.5 per cent wage increase over two years. Paul Simpson, president of CUPE Local 379 which represents support workers in Burnaby school district, said he expects the local to hold a ratification vote within a month.

While the deal saw no direct concessions, Simpson noted that districts will have to find savings to pay for the pay hikes, which could ultimately mean some job cuts. The provincial government had earlier indicated school districts would be expected to cover any CUPE wage increases negotiated, and Burnaby district had already started looking into potential cost savings in late August. The contract is expected to cost Burnaby about $1.5 million by the time all the raises are fully implemented, said district secretarytreasurer Greg Frank. The contract expires June 30, 2014. “We’re working through it, we have to have a savings plan that we’re going to

contract had been put on hold while the CUPE contract was being worked on, said Burton. The BC Teachers Federation and the province should be heading to the bargaining table in October. Simpson said the province has been clear in its desire for a longer term deal with the teachers. As for why the CUPE’s deal is for

such a short period, he said, the union will head back to the bargaining table for the next contract in six to seven months. “The bottom line is they want to see what happens with the teachers before they deal with us.”

Local company in international spotlight again Mario Bartel

Roofing tiles and siding made of recycled plastic and waste limestone in a process developed by a Burnaby company is one of 10 finalists in the international Cradle to Cradle Product Innovation Challenge. The competition recognizes the best and most innovative new building products in the world. GR Green’s patented process transforms 44,000 plastic bags and 4,400 plastic milk bottles into roofing material that looks like slate and cedar shingles. The durable roof can then be recycled again after its 50-year lifespan. “This is big news for a little green startup from B.C.,” said Geoff Wensel, GR Green’s president. The Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute is a non-profit organization formed to turn the manufacturing of products into a positive force for people, the economy and the planet. The challenge attracted 144 companies from around the world. Other finalists include insulations made of fungi and agricultural byproducts and another comprised of sheep’s wool, a process that uses bacteria to help produce a natural cement and wall panels made of straw. The top three winners will share a prize of $250,000. This isn’t the first taste of international recognition for GR Green. In 2012 the company was one of three winners in the Pacific Northwest regional finals of the Cleantech Open, a competition to fund and foster entrepreneurs using clean technology to address energy, environmental and economic challenges. They also won the green building category in the national

competition. In development for more than seven years, the company has installed prototype roofs on four show homes in West Vancouver. “We wanted to do the roofing thing and do it right,” said Wensel. “The product will last longer than the house they’re on.” The winners of the Cradle to Cradle Product Innovation Challenge will be announced in New York City on Nov. 15 For more information about GR Green, go to www. grgreen.com.

New bridge to unclog Massey Tunnel bottleneck No word yet on tolls or scope of new megaproject Jeff Nagel Black Press

A new bridge will replace the aging George Massey Tunnel but the provincial government isn’t yet saying if the span will be tolled. Premier Christy Clark promised construction will begin in 2017 in her speech Friday at the Union

of B.C. Municipalities convention. Clark said it’s too early to say how improved transit along Highway 99 might fit into the project or whether tolls will be required to pay for it. If the new bridge is tolled it would join the new Port Mann, the Golden Ears, and possibly the Pattullo – where tolls are also an option to pay for replacement – as Metro Vancouver bridges that motorists must pay

to cross. The premier said the province is following the advice of the public provided in consultations that a new bridge is best, rather than another tunnel. The province is also rejecting one controversial alignment that would have crossed the river further upstream and was strongly opposed over concern it would intensify pressure to develop farmland in east Richmond.

“People said the tunnel must be replaced and it must be replaced on the same route,” Clark told UBCM, adding the project will relieve congestion on what is now “the worst bottleneck in the Lower Mainland.” A newly released report on public feedback found “medium” support for building a new bridge and also keeping the old tunnel. But

CHOICEquotes Premier Christy Clark People said the tunnel must be replaced and it must be replaced on the same route.

decommissioning the 55-year-old tunnel also offers the major advantage of allowing larger ships to sail up the Fraser River, opening up expanded port use of sites in North Delta and Surrey. Asked if Port Metro Vancouver should contribute to the cost, Clark called that “a good idea.” The new Port Mann Bridge itself cost $830 million, not counting about $2 billion more to expanding the highway and interchanges. It’s not yet clear if the province intends

similar upgrades along Highway 99 or how many lanes are planned for the new bridge. But a video released by the transportation ministry depicts a large 10-lane bridge with special HOV and truck lanes. Some transit advocates have previously said they fear the new bridge will come at the cost of more transit and SFU City Program director Gordon Price predicted Friday it will add more pressure to develop farmland. Engineering and technical work is underway to develop

a project scope and business case for the new bridge and associated Highway 99 corridor upgrades, to be made public next spring. Meanwhile, the transportation ministry plans to immediately lengthen the Steveston off-ramp at the north end of the tunnel to improve safety and ease traffic congestion there. The announcement was applauded by Delta mayor Lois Jackson and the B.C. Trucking Association. Clark first pledged to begin studying options to replace the tunnel at last year’s UBCM convention. The province says the tunnel has about 10 years of useful life left. jnagel@blackpress.ca
