PRESENTATIONS 1.
Murrayville Pumphouse and Old Yale Road A. Dean, Project Engineer, Township of Langley, presented slides on the historic portion of Old Yale Road which runs from the Fraser Highway/Old Yale Road junction in the City of Langley to Murrayville’s five corners on 48th Avenue. The original road was constructed of concrete sections with the existing asphalt apron added much later. The road has a lot of structural cracking with the worst conditions occurring at the end of the road closest to Fraser Highway. The committee would like to see the historic portion of the road preserved as it is one of the first concrete highways in the area. In the past it has been suggested that restoring the concrete sections in phases over several years would be a feasible approach to its long-term preservation. This year no work on the road will be undertaken as it not included in the capital budget. If upgrading is undertaken in future, committee members indicated that they would like to see the stamped sections in the old concrete are re-used. Integrating these stamps into new sections of sidewalk along Old Yale Road or featuring them in other ways has been suggested in the past. A. Dean reported that one of the stamps was placed in the five corners round-about when it was constructed. The committee would like to see a plan developed for the road’s future restoration detailing recommended treatments for the various sections. It was suggested that staff maintain a list of outstanding agenda items that can be brought forward to future Heritage Advisory Committee meetings. It was also recommended that the committee consider the restoration of Old Yale Road again in the fall in order to consider making a recommendation to Council that provision for the repair of an initial portion of Old Yale Road be included in the capital budget for 2010. It was noted that C. Roberts will follow-up on the status of the Murrayville Pumphouse insurance claim with the HAC at a future meeting.

CORRESPONDENCE 1.
Hanson Chapel E. Easingwood left the room at 8:16 p.m. due to a declared conflict of interest. E. Horricks reported that she is in receipt of a letter with accompanying newspaper articles on his work, dated April 30, 2009 from Will Wilding Architect, expressing concern regarding the demolition of the Hanson Chapel that he designed and built in 1962. Committee members who had been on the previous Heritage Commission recalled attending a number of the initial meetings along with the TWU Alumni Society who made a case for its preservation, which in the end was unsuccessful. Based on the key role the Hanson Chapel had played in the community life of Trinity Western University for many years, the Township’s Heritage Services requested an As-Found Report which was received from TWU in the fall of 2008. Committee members agreed that a letter be sent to Mr. Wilding acknowledging receipt of his correspondence, thanking him for his submission and advising him that the documentation he has provided will be included in the Hanson Chapel As Found Report that will be retained in the Langley Centennial Museum and Archives. Staff to work with the Vice-Chair to prepare a letter. E. Easingwood rejoined the meeting at 8:23 p.m.
