  1. Urban Development Institute - Calgary 2009 Annual Report Vol. XI November 24, 2009

  2. Message from the Executive Director Dear UDI – Calgary Membership: As 2009 swiftly comes to a close, it is time to reflect on this past year; one which was punctuated with exceptional challenges and opportunities brought on by the global economic recession. It is a testament to our Industry that although it was one of the hardest hit by the recession, our member organizations have shown the resiliency to weather the economic storm and help lead the way out. Two words sum up the single most dominant issue which consumed the UDI – Calgary Board of Directors, committees and staff resources: Plan It. Plan It is the next Municipal Development Plan and Calgary Transportation Plan and probably the most important piece of legislation governing the Development Industry. Therefore, the amount of resources dedicated to understanding, collaborating and advocating for changes to this document on behalf of the Industry was entirely appropriate. A very positive outcome of this exercise was a renewed relationship with the Canadian Home Builders Association – Calgary Region, which has helped to strengthen and unify the Industry voice. More details on the outcome of this exercise can be found under the Board of Directors section of this report.

  3. Message from the Executive Director - continued Closely related to Plan It is the Municipal Financing Forum, which was held based on a request made by UDI – Calgary to the City of Calgary for a series of meetings in order to understand the real costs of growth, whether they be in established areas or at the edge of the city. These discussions will lead into the Standard Development Agreement negotiations for 2011. There is no question that 2010 will bring a new set of challenges to our Industry, especially since there will be a municipal election next year. However, I believe that UDI - Calgary is well positioned to meet any issue that comes before us head on. This is due to the competence of the UDI staff and the more than 140 volunteers whose dedication and expertise make anything possible. To all of them I owe a sincere debt of gratitude. Michael Flynn Executive Director

  4. Board of Directors At the 2008 UDI – Calgary Annual General Meeting, there were some changes to the structure of the Board of Directors. Michael Dutczak completed his term as Chairman of the Board and we were pleased to welcome Don McLeod as the new incoming Chairman. In addition, the Board welcomed Karin Finley to the team as a Director and Mark Wynker replaced Michael Roberts (who relocated out of town) as the Associate Vice Chairman in February 2009. At a subsequent Board meeting, Don Merlo was named as the Vice Chair. The following pages provide information on just some of the issues the Board has been working on in the past year.

  5. Board of Directors Initiatives – Development Levies To address the current economic challenges faced by the development industry, UDI’s Board of Directors approached the Mayor and City Administration with regard to freezing the 2009 Assessment Levies at the 2008 rates. We are pleased to inform our members that Council approved a rate freeze. The 2009 Levies are as follows: Community & Recreation Levy $ 48,794 Transportation Assessment Levy $ 63,507 Traffic Signage and Road Markings $ 613 Inspection Fee $ 2,208 Storm Sewer Levies (rates vary so refer to the Agreement)

  6. Board of Directors Initiatives - Plan It Calgary On Monday September 28th, City Council unanimously approved the new Municipal Development Plan (MDP) and the Calgary Transportation Plan (CTP), previously referred to as Plan It, with the inclusion of several amendments based on recommendations by Industry.  The two main concerns that were identified in the MDP were the minimum density thresholds of 70 people/jobs per gross developable hectare for future Greenfield development and the lack of an implementation framework developed in consultation with Industry prior to the effective date of the Plan.  Our recommendation of a reduced minimum threshold of 60 people/jobs per gross developable hectare was adopted and approved by Council as was our request to develop a formal Implementation Committee with a clear mandate to identify training and policy gaps.  The Implementation Committee will consist of two members each from Industry, City Administration, City Council and two representatives from the Community. Administration had proposed an effective date of February 1, 2010 for the new MDP and CTP but Council moved that date to April 1, 2010 to allow more time for the implementation framework to be developed.

  7. Board of Directors Initiatives – Municipal Financing Forum As part of an ongoing dialogue between The City of Calgary and the local residential development industry, a forum was held at the Telus Convention Centre on March 30, 2009. Hosted by Mayor Dave Bronconnier, the forum was facilitated by Dr. Roger Gibbins of the Canada West Foundation and attended by representatives from the City, the Urban Development Institute – Calgary, and the Canadian Home Builders Association – Calgary Region. As a result, a working Group was established and they identified the following three specific issues, with the goal in all three cases being to conclude with a concrete set of specific options for moving forward: 1) Closing the Capital Cost Gap: The Working Group will explore and recommend alternative ways of financing the capital costs of new residential development.  2) Addressing Timing and Risk: The Working Group will explore and recommend alternative ways of delivering development cost charges in terms of timing, interim financing and financial risk.  3) Long-Term Solutions: The Working Group will identify a set of potential long-term solutions to funding capital and table issues for discussion at a later date. Meetings have been ongoing throughout 2009 and will continue into the New Year.

  8. Project Manager Update 2009 has been an extremely busy year for UDI – Calgary and its volunteer members. The Plan It Calgary review permeated through most of our Committees and Task Forces and it added significantly to the already heavy workloads of these groups. We have 12 Committees and 7 Task Forces that are actively reviewing everything from draft planning policies, development agreements, construction specifications, water and environmental related issues, Fire Department standards and much more. In 2009, we re-activated the Finance and Transportation Committees, as well as the Streetlighting Task Force to address emerging issues. A breakdown of our Committees and Task Forces, as well as the issues they’re addressing, is provided later in this report. As you know, UDI - Calgary relies heavily on our volunteers to provide the valuable knowledge, planning and technical expertise needed to assist in our negotiations and discussions with the City of Calgary and other municipalities. It is through the work of our volunteers that we are able to respond to the many issues brought before us in a timely and conversant manner. After two years with UDI – Calgary, I am still amazed at the dedication, energy and passion of our Committee and Task Force volunteers. On behalf of the UDI Administration, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all those who volunteered their time in 2009. The work that we do and the accomplishments we achieve would not be possible without your hard work. Sincerely, Maureen Boudreault

  9. Development Agreement Negotiations The 2009 Development Agreement was finalized with revisions made to approximately 45 clauses. Mark Wynker, with the assistance of Terry Smith and Chris Plosz, played an integral role in the negotiations of both the Development Agreement and Standard Specifications, and was assisted by dedicated volunteers from various committees and task forces including: Technical, Water Management, Pavement and Urban Landscape. To address the economic challenges faced by the development industry, UDI’s Board of Directors approached the Mayor and City Administration with regard to freezing the 2009 Assessment Levies at the 2008 rates. We are pleased to inform our members that Council approved a rate freeze. The 2009 Levies were approved as follows: Community & Recreation Levy $ 48,794 Transportation Assessment Levy $ 63,507 Traffic Signage and Road Markings $ 613 Inspection Fee $ 2,208 The Developer Funded Infrastructure Stabilization Fund (Oversize Fund) per hectare rates remained unchanged at: Utilities - $5,000 , Major Roads - $11,800, Parks - $5,500

  10. Development Agreement Negotiations -continued To address the fact that the City has been increasing requests for Bus Laybys, and the fact that the Unit Rate schedule for major roads did not include a provision for Bus Laybys, UDI negotiated the inclusion of a separate oversize allowance for Bus Laybys. The cost recovery rates (including 5% for Engineering and 5% for Administration) were approved as follows: metre Length – lump sum $ 14,960 metre Length – lump sum $ 17,050 37 Metre Length – lump sum $ 22,220 For further information on the key changes made to the 2009 Development Agreement, please refer to Information Bulletin #101, which can be found on UDI’s Website. A copy of the 2009 Standard Development Agreement is available at www.udicalgary.com under the “Documents of Interest” tab. The 2010 Development Agreement negotiations have been underway since September 2009 and UDI has been working closely with Urban Development in an effort to finalize the Agreement by January 2010. Earlier finalization will provide the Development Industry with a clear understanding of associated levies and unit rates for development that will be proceeding in 2010.

  11. Technical Negotiations Numerous changes were made to the 2009 Water, Sewer, Roads and Landscape Standard Specifications to address issues/deficiencies that were identified by both UDI and The City of Calgary. A detailed listing of all specification changes can be found at the front of each Standard Specification book. As well, a summary of the changes has been documented in following Bulletins: Technical Bulletin #93 Standard Specifications for Sewer Construction Technical Bulletin #94 Standard Specifications for Waterworks Construction Technical Bulletin #95 Standard Specifications for Roads Construction Technical Bulletin #96 Standard Specifications for Landscape Construction The 2010 spec negotiations have also been underway since September 2009. UDI has been working with Urban Development, Roads, Water Resources and Parks, in an effort to finalize all specifications. Urban Development’s goal is to publish all 2010 specifications in January.

  12. Pavement Task Force As part of the 2009 Technical negotiations for Roads Specifications, the Pavement Task Force, consisting of Chris Plosz, Jim Montgomery and Sandy McIntosh addressed several issues, some of which pertained to the Design Traffic Number for Industrial Roads, walkway and emergency access lighting and asbestos in recycled asphalt. UDI continues to work with The City to resolve issues associated with winter paving mix, pavement design life, typical pavement structure, properties of crushed based course gravel, boulevard drainage, compaction requirements and damages to monolithic sidewalks. For a complete summary of the changes made to the 2009 Standard Specifications for Roads Construction, please refer to Technical Bulletin #95, which can be found on UDI’s Website. Discussions on the 2010 Roads Specifications have begun, with the goal to have the specs finalized by January 2010.
