LEGAL DESCRIPTION: NW 35-19-29 W4M

LANDOWNERS: Scott & Leanne Cressman

AREA OF SUBJECT LANDS: 89.75 Acres

CURRENT LAND USE: Agricultural PROPOSED LAND USE: Agricultural NUMBER & SIZE OF PROPOSED NEW PARCELS: 1 x +/- 15.0 acre parcel PROPOSAL: Application to further amend the Land Use Bylaw by authorizing the redesignation of a portion of NW 35-19-29 W4M from Agricultural District to Agricultural District, to allow for the future subdivision of one 39.93 +/- acre Agricultural parcel. DIVISION NO: 1 COUNCILLOR: Rob Siewert FILE MANAGER: Alex Vainshtein

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Summary of Proposal: • Amendment to allow for the future subdivision of one new 39.93 +/- acre Agricultural District parcel leaving a 50.00 +/- acre Agricultural District Balance parcel. Location: • Adjacently south of 434th Avenue East; • One and a half-mile west of Highway 2A; • Two and a half miles east of Highway 783. Policy Evaluation: Reviewed within the terms of the: • South Saskatchewan Regional Plan (SSRP); • Municipal Development Plan 2010 (MDP2010); • Land Use Bylaw 60/2014; and • Growth Management Strategy. Referral Considerations: • Referred to required internal departments and external agencies. PURPOSE OF APPLICATION: Application to further amend the Land Use Bylaw by authorizing the redesignation of a portion of NW 35-19-29 W4M from Agricultural District to Agricultural District, to allow for the future subdivision of one 39.93 +/- acre Agricultural parcel.

Page 2 SITE CONSIDERATIONS: Access: The +/- 39.93-acre balance Agricultural district parcel and the proposed +/- 50.00-acre Agricultural District parcel will be accessed from an existing approach – proposed to be a common approach. This approach is located off of 434th Avenue East. Appendix A – Site Plan illustrates the common approach location. Physiography: • The subject parcel has flat to rolling terrain throughout and consists of mostly grasslands. Existing Site Conditions & Development: • The proposed +/- 39.93-acre parcel contains an existing residence, water well, septic system, and two accessory buildings used for agricultural purposes. • Additionally, an abandoned oil well has been identified within the proposed +/- 50.000- acre Agricultural District parcel. This application and its contents were circulated to Energy Regulator for comments, but none were received prior to the submission of this staff report. • The applicant has noted that the proposed +/- 39.93-acre Agricultural parcel is non- productive agricultural land due to the soil having high alkalinity. POLICY EVALUATION: South Saskatchewan Regional Plan (SSRP): This proposal aligns with some of the policy direction within the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan (SSRP) and does not align with some of the direction given. The most relevant policy section(s) of the SSRP are related to Efficient Use of Land which encourages minimizing the amount of land necessary for new development but discourages the fragmentation and conversion of agricultural lands. Municipal Development Plan 2010 (MDP2010): The application generally does not meet the intent of Policy 2 of the Agriculture section of the MDP2010, which supports maintaining the integrity of the agricultural land base and discourages the fragmentation of agricultural lands. Land Use Bylaw 60/2014: The application meets the density requirements and lot size restrictions as set out in Section 12.1.6.2 of the Agricultural District within the County’s Land Use Bylaw. Growth Management Strategy: The subject parcel is located within the South Central District. The vision for the South Central District is supportive of moderate growth on the east side of the district close to the towns of High River and with careful consideration to avoid land use conflicts with long established agriculture operations.

Proposed Development - Pool House (personal use 1,750 sq. ft.) - 3 Windmills (maximum height – 35 ft., grade to top of blades)

SITE CONSIDERATIONS: Surrounding Area: The area consists primarily of Agricultural District parcels, many of which are Crown land with grazing leases (shown here in green). The Agricultural District parcel to the north was designated Sub-district “A” at the time of subdivision in 2012/14 to ensure that a building envelope is established on the parcel which is not detrimental to the creek Subject and springs on the property at the time of development. Access: Existing access to the property is from the west side of Highway #541. The site plan shows a Proposed Asphalt Drive on the property to the north. An access easement agreement with Lot 1, Block 1, Plan 1411779 is proposed. Physiography: The subject lands are predominately flat, with occasional rolling hills. The property is bordered on the east by Highway #541, and sits in the low foothills (Highwood Valley) to the southwest of the Village of Longview. The Province’s Eden Valley Integrated Resource Plan area lies to the immediate west of this area and the dominant eco region is noted to be aspen parkland, which consists of a mix of deciduous forests and grasslands. The Canada Land Inventory Map indicates that soils on the subject quarter-section have severe limitations that restrict their capability to produce perennial forage crops (there are often low temperatures or poor distribution of rainfall during cropping season).

Page 26 The Highwood River and a number of creeks originate in the mountains to the west, and flow through the area. A stream marked as Waldie Creek transects the northwest corner of the subject property, and an unclassified wetland is noted on the south side of the lot. Servicing Considerations: It is proposed that well water be used for both residential and livestock purposes for Phase 1 development. Particulars respecting licensing or plans for water use have not been submitted with this application. While an Agricultural Registration license (for agricultural purposes only) exists, there does not appear to be an additional license and/or water management plan in place under the Water Act for household and livestock purposes. A Technical Memorandum for conceptual wastewater collection (Banner Environmental Engineering May 29, 2020) is on file with this office. POLICY EVALUATION: The subject property is not included within any Intermunicipal Development Plan Area or Area Structure Plan area. Related policy within the Land Use Bylaw 60/2014, Growth Management Strategy, South Saskatchewan Regional Plan (SSRP) and Municipal Development Plan (MDP) follows. Land Use Bylaw: A copy of Direct Control District #35 is included under Appendix C of this report. Approval of the application as submitted, would include Council’s acknowledgement of the following variances: 18.35.2 Dwelling, Single Family – No more than one on a lot of less than 80 acres  4 Dwellings, Single Family are included under this application

The accompanying stone pin pad pedestal is noted to be located within the Provincial road allowance Municipal Development Plan 2010:  Policies under the Agricultural and Residential sections apply

South Saskatchewan Regional Plan:  Decision-makers responsible for land-use decisions are encouraged to consider the efficient use of land principles in land-use planning and decision-making to enhance the quality of life for residents through increased opportunity for outdoor recreation and the preservation and promotion of the region’s unique cultural and natural heritage. Provision of a wide range of opportunities that meet the preferences of regional residents and visitors are supported. Artifacts, historic places, and aboriginal heritage sites that define the region’s distinctive character should be identified and effectively managed.  Sustainable development wherein economic development takes into account environmental sustainability and social outcome is supported. Conserving and maintaining the benefits of biodiversity and ecosystem function are critical. The impact of multiple land use demands and pressures must be managed through an integrated approach.  Watersheds should be managed to support healthy ecosystems and human needs through shared stewardship. The plan supports the efficient use of land to reduce the amount of area that is taken up by permanent or long-term developments associated with the built environment. Growth Management Strategy: The subject parcel is located within the South West District as noted within the Foothills Growth Management Strategy. Current land use in the district is identified to be predominantly ranching with some farming, natural resource extraction and logging and a small amount of country residential development. There are also growing recreational uses in the area. Minimal growth is expected in this area. The strategy notes that any growth that does occur will be undertaken in a manner that is very sensitive to the importance of this area to the County for scenic value, wildlife habitat and agricultural production.

May 5, 2021 Council gave third and final reading to Bylaw 39/2020 authorizing redesignation of Ptn. NE 25-17-04 W5M (47.88 acres) from Commercial Rural District to Direct Control District #35 – Event Venue and including a Site Specific Amendment to allow for: Accessory Buildings, Personal Use; Arena, Commercial; Country Recreational Center/Lodge; Dwellings, Detached; Public Amenity/Assembly Use; Secondary Suite, Accessory; and Wind Energy Conversion Systems as discretionary uses. It was also moved that a non-statutory public meeting will be required prior to considering the development permit application to allow for proposed uses within NE 25-17-04 W5M. May 28, 2020 At the time of site inspection by the assigned file manager, the following buildings were identified:  1 arena with a small shed  4 cabins (or portions thereof), two of which are conjoined  1 shop with 2 accessory buildings  foundation for a future centre building or barn  1 gym building  1 guest cabin  1 playhouse building  1 garage with accessory suite above  1 dwelling  1 pumphouse  foundation work for greenhouse and root cellar It was noted that entry feature and gates had been established at the entrance to, and within the property. Site grading, paving and landscaping has occurred. A previously existing bridge over Waldie Creek has been re-constructed. Compliance with requirements of any involved Provincial and/or Federal department will be required to be illustrated at the Development Permit stage. April, 2020 As construction on buildings was proceeding without the benefit of Building Permits, Orders were issued under Section 49 of the Safety Codes Act, identifying that all construction was to immediately cease, and that the landowner was to bring the development into compliance with the related Fire and Buildings Codes. January, 2020 Site inspection by County staff identified that existing buildings on the property have been moved from previously verifiable location(s) and/or re-structured. Addition and/or revision to infrastructure on the property was noted to have occurred. Building Services initiated addressing building and safety code compliance with the landowner. December, 2018 to Current File 18R063 was opened, and communication with Stampede Ranch Limited (under the directorship of new owners) proceeded in anticipation of redesignating the Commercial Rural

Page 40 district property in order to align zoning of the parcel with Land Use Bylaw 60/2014, and to account for the intended future development and use of the land. November, 2017 Representative for the previous landowner identified to this office that the property had been sold and that the new landowner would be contacting this office in January of 2018. File 17R022 was closed and replaced with 18R063, under the new landowner.

March, 2017 Communication with the then landowner was initiated in July of 2015. File 17R022 had been opened for Stampede Ranch Limited (under the directorship of the previous landowner) to redesignate the Commercial Rural district property to Agricultural District in order to align zoning of the land with the Land Use Bylaw 60/2014. December, 2014 Amendments to the Land Use Bylaw were adopted under Bylaw 60/2014. With the adoption of the new bylaw, several of the previous land use districts were rescinded and replaced with updated land use districts. The Commercial Rural District was one of those land uses that was rescinded. All lands with the Commercial Rural District land use, are being/have been rezoned to land uses that suit the existing use of and approved development on the properties. October, 2013 The Stampede Boys Ranch, which fell under the umbrella of the Foothills School Division, ceased operations. Given discontinuance of this use MGA 643(2);LUB 60/2014 (5.10.1 c)., and the subsequent coming into force of Land Use Bylaw 60/2014; protection of existing development on the property under non-conforming status was lost, and previously issued developments permits became null and void. June 19, 2013 Redesignation (and subsequent subdivision) of one 32.22 acre portion from the then 80.11 acres at NE 25-17-04 W5M. The 30.0 +/- acre proposed parcel was designated Agricultural – ‘A’ district to ensure that a building envelope is established on the parcel which is not detrimental to the creek and springs on the property, to be complied with as part of the development permit process. A $5000 deposit as a pre-release condition to a development permit applies, in order to ensure compliance of all conditions of the development permit. As a condition of subdivision, the landowner executed a Service Road Agreement with the Province for a 20m dedication along the east side of the new 32.22 acre parcel, as the existing accesses were considered temporary by Alberta Transportation at that time. That department noted that the service road caveat would allow for relocation if required in the future. Use of the balance of the property was acknowledged to be non-conforming and was to remain designated as Commercial Rural District to facilitate the family run Stampede Boys Ranch (an alternative to institutional care of behaviorally challenged youth/youth at risk). June 2, 1986 Development Permit 5812 for one 624 sq. ft. cabin for a boy’s school. The application form identifies that a main house and 4 cabins existed on the property at that time.

Page 41 Conditions of the approval note that the cabin was to be used solely in conjunction with the existing boys school, under all regulations of Alberta Social Services and community health; and reiterated that the maximum number of boys under prior approval for the school program was 17.

June 18, 1981 Development Permit 4646 for an addition to the cookhouse, and including two cabins, a school, and an arena in support of the existing boys school. The application identified a maximum of 14 boys. October 10, 1978 Development Permit 3016 to replace a log cabin that had been destroyed by fire. October 5, 1977 Development Permit 1557 for a school for boys – approval to construct two 540 sq. ft. cabins, a 10,000 sq. ft. arena, one 1,120 sq. ft. school, and construct an addition to the existing cookhouse in conjunction with a rehabilitation program for wayward boys on the then 113.73 acre property. The facilities were stated to accommodate a maximum of 14 boys. It is not verified as to if the approved development was completed under this permit. Conditions of the permit included that the general purpose building and cabins were approved only as part of the existing rehabilitation program on the said land, and that should the program cease to operate said buildings were not to be used for any other purpose without application for Development Permits being made to the Municipal District. May 13, 1977 Development approval allowing for Institutional Buildings: one 6,000 sq. ft. general purpose building and six 400 square foot cabins to be used in conjunction with the rehabilitation program for wayward boys. Agenda notes identify that three 400 sq. ft. cabins and one 1,200 sq. ft. building (dining area and classroom) existed on the property to accommodate 12 persons. The 6000 sq. ft. building was to be used for a gym, recreational area, washrooms, showers, office space, kitchen, dining and instruction areas. With the additional cabins, staff and up to 24 participants would be able to be accommodated. 1975 As per media records, The Stampede Boys Ranch first opened it’s doors. December 13, 1974 Approval under an application for subdivision to divide lands within the subject quarter section, and those within the quarter section to the north; from those lands included under title, that fell east of Highway #541. Conditions of the subdivision included provision for survey and dedication of a 50 ft. reserve strip on both sides of Trap Creek and Waldie Creek. A small section of Waldie Creek is identified to be located within the northwest corner of the subject property, however no plan, nor reference appears to exist on title to the parcel which is the subject of this application.
