Community Service Learning.... what is it? Following is an explanation of CSL provided by Augustana: Community Service-Learning (CSL) encourages students to step outside of the traditional university classroom in order to make connections between theory and practise. At Augustana, students who are enrolled in a course with a CSL component complete approximately 20 hours of service (volunteer work) that benefits the community - most often with a non-profit organization. Students' reflections on their community service becomes one of the "text books" of their course. CSL is offered in a variety of disciplines and courses ranging from Environmental Science to Management to Psychology. Community Service-Learning continues the Augustana tradition of community engagement by connecting students with the community of Camrose, its involved citizenry, and numerous and varied organizations. Students are presented with opportunities to meet people working in their field of study, gain practical experience related to their coursework, and increase confidence in applying their knowledge outside of the classroom. It is the intention of LH to have a student (or maybe students) work with LH to continue putting together historical material for the LH website by doing research with community groups and/or individuals. By working with Augustana, LH will be continued on the research level at no cost to the County

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

This agenda item is follow-up to the policy review from the December 13th, 2016 Regular Meeting of Council. At that time, it was suggested to make some wording changes to help clarify compensation and to also modify the compensation rate for landowners who wish to complete their own fencing such that they receive 80% of the average unit rate of what was paid to fencing contractors in the year prior. The 80% of contractor rates will apply to both fence removal and fence replacement.

FENCING 17.11

FENCING - ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM

Definition of Fence - a barrier which is capable of inhibiting entry or exit of livestock.

In all cases where fencing must be removed or destroyed because of impending road construction, and when a fence is required by the landowner, Camrose County fencing policy shall be as follows:

1. The County will replace the fences removed with fences of no less value than the fences removed, or will supply all labour, material and equipment required to remove and reconstruct a new fence so long as this quality of fence is not of less value than the fence removed; with gates supplied as per the existing fence.

2. In cases where a fence being replaced is made of different materials than the common barbed wire type, then the County will replace the fence with materials of a like kind (i.e. page wire, wood boards).

3. In cases where the landowner does not want a fence to be replaced, he/she will declare such request in writing to the County.

4. In cases where the landowner wants to remove old fence and construct his/her own replacement fence for the construction project, the landowner will be compensated for the fencing at a unit rate determined as follows:

Current Year Landowner Fencing Compensation Unit Rate (km) = Average Unit Rate (km)of Contracted Fencing in Year Prior ×0.80

In other words, they shall be paid 80% of the average unit rate that was paid for all contracted fencing completed on road construction projects in the year prior. Landowners who wish to complete their own fencing shall adhere to all of the conditions noted below:

Guidelines/Conditions to Road Construction Fencing - The Owner will remove the existing fence before construction. (Owner will be notified a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the start date). If existing fence is not removed, the contractor will be required to remove the fence & no compensation payment will be made to the Owner for removal. - For the duration of construction, the Owner will be required to provide his/her own temporary fence as needed at their own cost.

- The new fence will be installed on or inside of property line. - Compensation will be made after the fence has been installed & inspected by the Public Works Manager or his designate. Public Works must be contacted for final inspection. - The replacement fence must be completed within one (1) year of the completion date of the road construction, as determined by the County. - Failure to meet any of the above conditions or failure to complete installation of the fence itself will annul compensation, as well as the option of contractor replacement.

FENCE DAMAGE BY ROAD MAINTENANCE

Council recognizes the possibility and the probability of causing damage to fences located close to the public road allowances, while conducting snowplowing and / or widening activities.

Council recognizes that damages caused by flying or rolling snow and debris may occur to fences located on a public or private land bounding a Government Road Allowance.

Therefore, Council does not accept responsibility for damages to private fences caused by the County while conducting its regular snow removal and / or related activities.

Damages to fences caused by the County while conducting activities other than snowplowing and / or widening - such as repairs to roadways, bridges (includes culverts) and to roadside ditches, will be repaired OR compensation will be provided by the County if it is determined that the County was negligent or at fault.

 In cases where the damage costs are $500.00 or less, the decision will be made by the Public Works Manager, with the approval of the County Administrator.

 In cases when the cost of damages exceeds $500.00, the Public Works Manager will submit a report and recommendation to Council for a final decision.

ACTION / RECOMMENDATION:

That Camrose County Council accept the revised Policy, Dust Control - 17.23, as presented.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

On November 23, 2016, Camrose County Council requested a review of Policy 17.23 Dust Control to incorporate the usage of alternative dust abatement for the County applications, and to alternatively allow private individuals to contact dust control suppliers directly for the application of dust control products adjacent to their property.

Further to that, on December 13, 2016, Camrose County Council requested that Policy 17.23 Dust Control be revised such that Camrose County will continue to administer alternative dust control going forward, but all other dust control (including calcium chloride) will require coordination and application by individual landowners.

"<><>" CAMROSE COUNTY AGENDA ITEMS Meeting: Regular Meeting of the Council Meeting Date: 10 Jan 2017 Agenda Item No: AGD - 2554 Confidential: No Originated By: Jeri Smith Title: 2017 Crop & Land Damages

ACTION / RECOMMENDATION:

That Camrose County Council accept the revised Policy, Crop & Land Damages - 17.12, as presented.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

At the end of the construction year Camrose Administration commences the process of payment for Crop Loss Damages. The Road Engineer for the project provides the areas for each quarter that has been disturbed by construction. Administration contacts the landowner to find out the yield of their crops and the compensation amount is paid by multiplying the area disturbed by the yield information provided and then multiplying that by the Market Rate of each individual crop as determined by the Manager of Ag. Services. Currently Public Works pays $50/ac for pasture, $150/ac for Hay Field, and Market Rate for Cereal Crops which can range from $2.00/bushel for Oats to $11.02/bushel for Canola.

While the current process ensures that the landowner is not negatively impacted financially, it does open the door to disagreements in yields and crop prices. Through the revision of this policy, the intent is that any grey areas can be eliminated and the compensation component of the road construction projects be very clear cut.

The new process would also eliminate the step in contacting the owner following construction to determine yields which would speed up the payment process to the landowners. All compensation amounts will be stated in the backslope agreements. This will also make it fair for all the landowners, in that they will all be making the same amount rather than relying on their honesty when providing crop yields. Further to that, the rates will be set such that it will almost be encouraging for landowners to allow encroachment and disturbance as it should be paying a higher rate than they can get through the land producing crop or hay. It is felt that this increase in compensation will ease the backsloping negotiation process and allow for better landowner relations.

Policy, Bylaws, Provincial Acts or Regulations: Policy 17.12 Crop & Land Damages MGA Section 153(b), MGA Section 207(b) Camrose County Operating Principals Plan, Guiding Principals, for policy development and decision making, Governance Goal: Council and other Council Committees implement sustainable/transparent principals in decision making and reporting Financial Implications: There will be some slight increases in crop damage compensation payments, however; these costs will be known costs, rather than variable due to fluctuating yields and crop prices. Alternatives to the Recommendation: Continue to pay compensation as it is currently done.

Protective Services Monthly Council Report December 2016

During the month of December, Protective Services staff received 11 complaints from the public which are as follows:

Traffic (2), Break and Enter (2), Trials (1), Vandalism (1), First Appearance (1), Snow Removal (3), Animal (1)

These files are over and above all other requests for information from the public that Protective Services staff receive daily.

36 Violation Tickets were issued during the month of December. County Officers also issued 21 Verbal Warnings and attended 2 Motor Assist.

One Traffic Stop of interest was on December 23rd, a County Officer was patrolling near Tillicum Beach when he observed a motor vehicle travelling southbound on Tillicum Beach Road with no licence plate attached to the vehicle. This vehicle was pulled over and after further investigation, the Officer determined that the vehicle was unregistered and the driver, who was from the Meeting Creek area, had outstanding warrants amounting to $9045.00. Camrose RCMP were contacted to attend the scene and place the driver in custody and the County Officer seized the motor vehicle.

On December 2nd, Officer GERMUSHUYSEN along with a member of the Camrose RCMP and Alberta Health Officials attended the Bawlf School to conduct a Safety Check Stop. This event had been previously discussed at an earlier Camrose and Area Youth Risk Awareness Network (CAYRAN) Meeting. Numerous motor vehicles were stopped and a pamphlet along with a snow brush were handed out to promote the Brush Out Impaired Driving Campaign for the month of December.

Protective Services Manager's Report Page 55 of 165 ... Agenda Item # 10.1

On December 5th, Officer KUZIO along with numerous other Managers from Camrose County attended a Managing People Course at the Radisson Hotel in Edmonton.

On December 6th, County Officers attended a Fentanyl Presentation at the Camrose Composite High School, which was organized be the Camrose Police Service. Fentanyl is often sought out for illicit purposes due to its powerful pain-relieving and relaxing effects. Fentanyl is sometimes mixed with heroin and cocaine to heighten their effects; combining these drugs is extremely dangerous. This presentation was created to make Law Enforcement and First Responders more aware of the dangers if they come into contact with the drug.

On December 7th, Officer KUZIO attended a Coal Lake Emergency Preparation Plan (EPP) meeting at the Provincial Building in Camrose. Other agencies at the meeting included Alberta Environment and the Director of Emergency Management from Wetaskiwin County. This meeting was to review the Emergency Management Procedures if the Coal Lake Damn was ever to fail. Due to the location of Camrose County to the Coal Lake Damn, if the Damn was ever to fail, the possible area that could be effected include Dried Meat Lake, Tillicum Beach, Ross’ Flats Campground and the Battle River far enough south and east to the Fairy Point Campground. This damn did fail back in 1974 which caused mass flooding. This was a very interesting meeting.

On December 17th & 18th, Officer KUZIO attended his annual PPCT (Pressure Point Control Tactics) annual refresher in Wetaskiwin, AB. This course is required under the Alberta Solicitor General for every County Officer in the Province to be certified in the use of Pepper Spray, Baton, Hand Cuffing, Pressure Points, take downs and strikes.

On December 20th, 21st, and 22nd, interviews were conducted for the Public Works/Protective Services Administration position. Camrose County received in access of 80 applications for this position. 5 interviews were conducted over the three-day period and Marlynne NICHOLS was the successful candidate. Marlynne’s commencement date will be January 9rd, 2017.

County Enforcement Files

A brief highlight on a couple of the complaints the County Officers dealt with during the month of December are as follows:

On December 13, 2016, County Officers received a complaint regarding a vehicle that was on fire near the Silver Creek and Aberhart Road. County Officers attended along with the Camrose RCMP. The New Norway Fire Department was also called to extinguish the fire. It was determined that the vehicle had been stolen from the area.

On December 2, 2016, County Officers received a complaint from an Ohaton resident advising there was a motor vehicle parked on Main Street in the Hamlet of Ohaton with an expired Licence Plate. A County Officer attended the location and observed the motor vehicle with expired plates dating back to June 2016. The Officer contacted the owner of the vehicle to advise him to remove the vehicle from Main Street or have the vehicle registered. The owner was not charged for this violation, as he complied with the direction of the County Officer.

ACTION / RECOMMENDATION:

That Camrose County Council approve two (2) "Yield Signs" be erected on RRD 204 for north and southbound traffic at TWP 484.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

A resident has contacted Camrose County Protective Services requesting the County erect two (2) "Yield Signs" at the intersection of TWP 484 and RRD 204 for north and southbound traffic. The resident is requesting this additional signage because he believes this is a blind intersection for motor vehicles traveling southbound.

Camrose County Officers have inspected the above intersection and took pictures from all directions. The site lines for traffic traveling westbound and southbound are not clearly visible mainly due to the rolling hills of the farm land in the area and a yard site with many trees and brush on the west side of RRD 204 and north of TWP 484.

The grader operator will check all the signs with in the grader maintenance area annually. The annual sign inspection forms are available at the Public Works office.

If the sign is found to be downed, and it can be erected, it is to be erected immediately, and if it is missing or damaged beyond further use, the operator is to notify the Manager of Public Works.

An accurate record must be kept by all public works employees of the dates and locations of repairs to and erection of signs.

LANDOWNER REQUESTS The county may also receive requests from the public for additional regulatory signs. These requests may be considered under the following guidelines:

1. All requests must be in writing outlining the reasons for the request. 2. An inspection of the site will be performed by the Community Peace Officer and/or the Manager of Public Works or designate. 3. A recommendation, taking into consideration the safety concern outlined by the applicant and in consideration of the travelling public, will be made to Council by either the Manager of Public Works or the Community Peace Officer. 4. Should it be determined the signs are justified, the County will be responsible for the costs of the signs, posts and installation.

Cattle Crossing Signs Cattle Crossing Signs will be supplied by Camrose County at the discretion of the Manager of Public Works for erection on heavily traveled roads only, and each ratepayer requesting such signs will be held responsible for the erection and maintenance of these signs.

All signs will be erected according to Alberta Transportation Specifications.

"<><>" CAMROSE COUNTY AGENDA ITEMS Meeting: Meeting Date: 10 Jan 2017 Agenda Item No: AGD - 2511 Confidential: No Originated By: Paul King Title: By-law 1385 Ohaton Water Distribution System

ACTION / RECOMMENDATION:

That By-law 1385 Ohaton Water Distribution System be given first reading; and further that,

By-law 1385 Ohaton Water Distribution System be given second reading; and further that,

By-law 1385 Ohaton Water Distribution System be considered for third reading; and further that,

By-law 1385 Ohaton Water Distribution System be given third and final reading.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

As a result of changes to the number of services the Schedules "A" and "B" to By-law 1188 need to be updated with the recalculated annual, uniform local improvement tax rate assessed levy

Policy, Bylaws, Provincial Acts or Regulations: MGA Section 402(1)(2) Financial Implications: Alternatives to the Recommendation: Pro's: Con's: Communication: Council Documentation: By-law 1385 DISCUSSION:

Original Bylaw 1188 missed Roll 739000 (Ohaton Athletic Association) and this roll has now been added. All other rolls will receive a $48.47 credit because of the addition. The total number of parcels shown on the By-law has been increased to 82 from 81. The total levy for each parcel of land, and the total annual levy per each parcel of land have been decreased accordingly. The total annual levy has been changed from $11,836.11 in the original bylaw to $11,863.26 (presumably typo or miscalculation in original By-law?). Ohaton Athletic Association was charged the local improvement starting in 2016, but since the By-law had not been updated yet, this payment is being treated as a credit on their account. Original By-law 1188 had also listed Roll 402406 (8 services), and this has now been changed to list Rolls 402406 – 402413 individually.

ACTION / RECOMMENDATION:

That Council amend Bylaw 1383 to redistrict NE 7-43-21-W4 from A - Agricultural to CR2 - Large Lot Country Residential, by amending it to CR1 - Small Lot Country Residential. and

That Council amend Bylaw 1383 to redistrict NE 7-43-21-W4 by amending Schedule A, the map to reduce the rezoning from 160 acres more or less, to 34 acres more or less in the north west corner of the quartersection. and further:

That Council give Third and Final Reading to Bylaw 1383 to redistrict NE 7-43-21-W4 from A - Agricultural to CR1 - Small Lot Country Residential.

That Council deny Third Reading to Bylaw 1383 to redistrict NE 7-43-21-W4 from A - Agricultural to CR2 - Large Lot Country Residential.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The applicant is wanting to develop 9 residential acreages adjacent to Gladon and Norman Place Estates of Red Deer Lake. These lots would not have direct access to the lake and are sized for some small scale agricultural uses (market garden, orchard, etc).

The Farmland Assessment Rating varies from 0% (water) to 65.2% (good farmland).

All servicing will be from the the existing County road to the north and a small internal roadway.

After the Public Hearing on December 13, 2016, Council directed the applicant to redesign the ASP to place up to 9 lots within the northwest corner. The applicant has created a 6 lot subdivision within the proposed area, due to the reduction in size, one of the lots falls under the minimum 5 acre parcel size for a CR2 zoning. Under the previous plan all the lots were close to or more than 5 acres.

Policy, Bylaws, Provincial Acts or Regulations: Municipal Development Plan

1. Land use re-designation shall be required for any new rural residential subdivision or development when three or more lots are created per quarter section. 2. The County may refuse a subdivision application on lands that are considered to have higher capability of supporting agricultural activities. 3. Multi-lot residential development shall be within the identified growth centres and in the existing serviced areas provided the following criteria are met: b) The residential development should be proposed adjacent to any existing development or approved subdivision that is or will be serviced with municipal infrastructure. c) Servicing shall be outlined clearly during the ASP, ARP, or Outline Plan process. Servicing solutions shall meet or exceed the standards of both the County and Alberta Environment. 4.Recreational development shall primarily be located adjacent to existing areas with new locations adjacent to large lakes and/or near the river. 1. Future residential development on lakes shall be directed to Recreational Lakes. 2. The application shall meet all of the County standards for access, services, and all other residential standards. 3. ASPs shall identify hazardous areas, environmentally sensitive areas, critical wildlife habitat and travel corridors, and potential sites of historic and archeological significance. 4. All development shall be designed to retain buffer strips between any man-made development and water bodies, ravines, watercourses, and bog areas to prevent soil erosion and siltation of streams. 5. Subdivision or development permits shall be allowed only when proven to the satisfaction of the County that the proposed subdivision or development will not jeopardize or significantly damage the historical or archeologically significant, nor the characteristics of the resources vital to habitat and species maintenance. 6. The Developer shall ensure that subdivision or development proposals minimize the disturbance to treed areas and alterations to site topography. The County may require a site plan detailing the protection of existing treed areas and site topography with any application for subdivision or development. 7. The County may require geotechnical and environmental studies at the re-districting, subdivision and/or development permit application stage. 8. Whenever possible, drainage should be provided in a way that utilizes the existing contours of the land so as to minimize disruption to the existing drainage pattern. 9. All new ASPs and Outline Plans shall demonstrate a municipal reserve dedication strategy, including how the MR will link to adjacent lands including linear parks and trails, as well as providing central open spaces, to the satisfaction of the County. 10. Subdivision applications are subject to a 10% MR dedication in the form of land dedication. However, cash in lieu may be considered, or a combination of both in accordance with the ASP and relevant regulatory documents of the County.

Financial Implications: None, all costs borne by the developer. Alternatives to the Recommendation: Pro's: Con's:

Bylaw 1383 to Redistrict NE 7-43-21-W4 from A to CR2 Page 74 of 165 ... Agenda Item # 12.2

None. Communication: None. Documentation: 1. Bylaw 1383 DISCUSSION:

During the public hearing concerns about the loss of farmland, number of acres, environmental reserves and traffic were raised. The redesign of the parcels reduces the loss of farmland, moves the proposal away from existing development, and will reduce traffic by decreasing the number of lots from 9 to 6.

While 5 of the lots meet the minimum lot size for the CR2 district, the 6th lot is only 3.7 acres, designed to exclude the existing wetland and leave it with the adjacent farmland. Since this lot is so far from the minimum 5 acre parcel size, we recommend amending the redistricting application to a CR1 designation. In addition, at the direction of Council after the public hearing, the proposed rezoning will only apply to the lands shown within the development area, not the full quartersection; reducing the rezoning from 160 acres to 34 acres. The exact boundaries of each lot will be determined at the subdivision stage, and our LUB states that rezoning snaps to the boundaries of a subdivided lot, so if minor boundary changes are required at subdivision the redistricting will automatically adjust. This will likely occur around the cul-de-sac on the internal roadway since it is just roughed in and not a proper engineered cul-de-sac design, the overall area of the redistricting will not change significantly.

Note that the ASP shows approximately 2.2 acres of cultivated lands be included in the proposed redistricting. In discussion with the applicants after the submission of the draft they did not object to the removal of this 2.2 acres, and the change is already reflected in the proposed amendment to the rezoning map.

Access to the parcels will be addressed further at subdivision stage if this rezoning is approved, however, it can be limited to two access onto the existing County road. The first access would be for the most easterly parcel, the other would be for the internal access road.

The applicant plans to develop the three lots adjacent to the road first, so the two northwesterly lots could do a shared driveway on the proposed roadway until the southerly lots are created and the road is upgraded.

INTRODUCTION

Purpose The purpose of this area structure plan is to highlight the viability of the Brindle Ridge Development project. The legal land description of the quarter section being referenced is NE 7-43-21- W4 (Figure 1, Appendix A & B). The plan is to develop up to six residential lots with an agricultural focus on the northwest corner of the quarter, leaving the cultivated lands in agricultural production. The lots will be between XX and XX acres, with access to the existing township road and a new internal road as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 1. Yellow pin showing the location of potential Red Deer Lake Development and bordering towns.

The land is a prime candidate for development as it is nestled between two rural residential developments, Gladdon Estates to the north and Norman Place Estates to the east. Camrose County Council has also approved two similarly sized parcels – across the road, to the north – which were registered in 2001 and 2016. As such, county roads and power services run parallel to each respective property line. Furthermore, the lot is serviced by a two inch natural gas line that runs inside of the northern property boundary. Should the rezoning and subsequent subdividing come to fruition, a second two inch natural gas line would be added along the eastern border of the property.

The plot hosts a picturesque western beauty. Boasting rolling hills, various stands of Poplar and Aspen trees, as well as natural water features. The biodiversity is immense and offers sanctuary to many forms of wildlife species. In areas not as agriculturally productive due to hill formation and lower soil quality, livestock could flourish (north part of the quarter section). Areas with better soil quality and less runoff potential would be developed into parcels where small agricultural operations could thrive, such as orchards and gardens (east part of the quarter section). The above diverse natural features support the main objective of the proposed development which is: small agricultural operations. Observations of

Bylaw 1383 to Redistrict NE 7-43-21-W4 from A to CR2 Page 84 of 165 ... Agenda Item # 12.2

the surrounding land use suggest that there is a market to promote this lifestyle and this type of agriculture.

Subdividing several fee simple lots no larger than seven acres and averaging five-and-a-half, would offer an ideal spot for rural minded people looking to capitalize on the beauty of the natural landscape. Each parcel is carefully laid out to work in conjunction with the countryside. Thus, resulting in multiple spots on each lot that would be suitable to build a homestead and other rural facilities (ie. barn, shop, greenhouse, etc.)

CAMROSE COUNTY POLICY CONTEXT

Camrose County Municipal Development Plan The Camrose County MDP delivers a future vision for the growth and development within the County. In the residential section (pg. 11) of the MDP stresses that “future residential development occurs in continuation with compatible existing development and within low capability agricultural lands.”

The Camrose Count MDP contains policies that related specifically to county residential and subdivision development. These include:

1. Policy 5.3.1 (Land Use Re-designation) – rezoning will be necessary for new rural residential development when three or more lots are proposed per quarter section. 2. Policy 5.3.6 (Agriculture Areas) – up to two (2) titled lots, retaining the balance of the land as the third (3) title, shall be subject to the following criteria: a) New lots should be directed to the least productive site per quarter section. b) The subdivision shall not result in more than three (3) titles per quarter section. c) The County should allow for acreages and farmstead residential development in agricultural areas. e) A new or bareland subdivision should be located on the periphery in order to minimize access roads, discourage panhandle roads, and to minimize the use of agricultural land for roads. 3. Policy 5.3.5 & Policy 5.3.9 (Area Structure Plan) – An outline plan shall be prepared for clustered rural residential parcels when three or more parcels are created (5.3.5). ASPs and ARPs shall be prepared in accordance with the MGA. Outline Plans at a minimum shall include a development concept, servicing strategy, staging, policy framework, and population density (5.3.9). 4. Policy 9.3.1 (Environmental Reserve) – Environmentally sensitive lands should be protected through the dedication of land as an environmental reserve, or the registration of an environmental reserve easement, or restrictive covenant on the lands deemed to be environmentally sensitive subject to the provisions of the Municipal Government Act. 5. Policy 11.3.5 (Natural Resources) – Buffering between the natural resource extraction industry and adjacent uses should be required when development permits are applied for. 6. Policy 12.3.13 (Municipal Reserve) – Subject to the provisions of the Municipal Government Act, the County may require the owner of a parcel of land that is subject to a proposed

subdivision to dedicate part of the parcel of land for the purposes of roads, public utilities, or both.

Camrose County Land Use Bylaw The Camrose County Land Use Bylaw oversees, regulates, and controls future land use and building development within the County, in order to achieve systematic and economic development. Currently, the proposed Brindle Ridge Development is designated as General Agriculture District (A).

Similar to the Camrose County MDP, the LUB is also composed of policies and guidelines. These are to be followed while planning and implementing the development. These include:

1. Policy 611.2 (Tree Buffer) – A minimum buffer strip of 20 m (66 ft) shall be preserved from the top of a bank of any water body or from environmentally sensitive lands. The Development Authority may require additional setbacks from the environmentally sensitive lands at its discretion. 2. Policy 611.4 (Development Setback) – 611.4 A minimum building setback of 30 m (100 ft) shall be required from the top of a bank. An additional setback may be required. 3. Policy 611.10 (Slope) – Slopes of 10% or more shall require a geotechnical report that indicates stability and suitability for development, along with the standards for development. 4. Policy 632.2 (On-site Sewage Disposal) – Sewage from a dwelling or a business may be treated and disposed of on-site provided that: a. the lot has an area of at least 4,000 m2 (1 acre), a width of at least 40 m (132 ft), and the site conditions meet the requirements of the Alberta Private Sewage Systems Standard of Practice 2009 or its successor; and b. the discharge point or the location of the field is at least 90 m (295 ft) from the high water mark 5. Policy 638.2 (Approach Location) – An approach accessing the main road shall be located no less than 85 m (279 ft) from any intersection of two roads unless a smaller distance has been authorized by the Manager of Public Works or his designate. 6. Policy 638.3 (Approach Number Per Main Road) – No more than two (2) approaches shall be constructed within 800 m (2,625 ft) on each side of the main road unless a larger number is approved by the Manager of Public Works. 7. Policy 638.5 (Shelterbelt Setbacks) – Field shelterbelts shall be placed no closer than 30 m (100 ft) from the property line to a County road and Farmstead/Acreage. Shelterbelts shall be placed no closer than 10 m (33 ft) from the property line to a main road, and no closer than 3 m (10 ft) from the property line to an internal subdivision road and 30 m (100 ft) from the property line adjacent to the intersection of two County roads. 8. Policy 644.2 (Development Water Needs) – No subdivision or development shall be approved unless the Subdivision Authority and/or the Development Authority is satisfied that there is sufficient water to serve its needs without infringing on the rights of existing users.

SITE CHARACTERISITCS

General Characteristics The proposed Brindle Ridge Development contains native pasture, cultivated land, four permanent wetlands, multiple seasonal wetland lands, and numerous bluffs of tree and shrub species. The land varies from medium to large hummocks, but due to the vegetation present on all slopes, erosion does not seem to pose a risk. The depression of the hummocks may retain seasonal water. The parcel contains an active water well in the middle of the quarter that was drilled in 2011. A natural gas well is located on the south end of the parcel, in conjunction with an associated pipeline (Appendix C).

Topography The topography of the site ranges from hummocky, medium to high relief ridged landforms, with the pasture on the north end having numerous large hummocks. The land is characterized mainly by gently sloping east and south towards the lake, contrast to having a large ridge on the far northeast part of the quarter.

Land Use and Surrounding Use The Brindle Ridge Development is located approximately 17 kilometers northwest of the Town of Bashaw and approximately 43 kilometers east of the Town of Ponoka. Currently, the land consists of 31 acres of native pasture and 122 acres of cultivated land (Appendix D). A majority of the cultivated land – 90 acres – is classified as good, with a rating of 41.9% which is just over the 40% threshold of the Camrose County Bylaw. The remaining 38 acres of land id rated below 40%. A detailed description of the farmland assessment rating is shown in Appendix E. Surrounding land uses are primarily agricultural in nature – both pasture and cultivated – as well as small acreage developments bordering Township Road 432 and Range Road 215, with few improvements on the surrounding lands.

Flood Plain Although the development is within close proximity to Red Deer Lake (the closest lot is approximately 116 meters away), flooding poses little restrictions for the proposed development; when considering the lake characteristics and topography of the parcel.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Acknowledging the environmental sensitivity of Red Deer Lake, it is of the utmost importance that a new development addresses any factors which might change the balance of its ecosystem. However, when considering the large size of the parcels proposed the hydrology of the area should not be adversely affected. For example, run-off from the home sites should not be substantial enough to warrant the construction of a stormwater retaining pond. Furthermore, the proposed environmental reserves already act as natural catchment areas for stormwater run-off.

In reference to sewage disposal, septic fields have the added benefit of a clean method of disposal when correctly implemented in a proper location. Installation feasibility would be subject to a soil test to ensure that there would be no impact on the water quality of Red Deer Lake or surrounding water bodies.

Bylaw 1383 to Redistrict NE 7-43-21-W4 from A to CR2 Page 87 of 165 ... Agenda Item # 12.2

The areas of most environmental significance will remain a part of the agricultural portion of the quarter section.

DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT The Brindle Ridge Development land use concept proposes a 34 acre development consisting of six rural residential parcels, which would house one family each (Figure 1). The majority of the rural residential parcels will be approximately 3.7 – 7 acres in size. In addition, the proposed development is subjected to be implemented in two phases; parcels 1—3 in phase one and 4—6 in phase two. Currently, the parcel is zoned agricultural, so rezoning would have to occur in order to subdivide. Due to some parcel sizes being less than five acres, CR1 – Small Lot County Residential would be the appropriate rezoning.

The parcel sizes are intended to take advantage of the natural amenities while promoting a rural lifestyle. Furthermore, a covenant will placed on the parcels, which would prohibit the development of industrial businesses, such as welding, trucking, or oilfield companies. The core concept of the Brindle Ridge Development is to endorse the growth of niche and alternative agricultural pursuits. The size of parcels were chosen deliberately to cater to individuals with similar interests. In contrast, to Norman Place and Gladdon Estates that offer hamlet style living in a country setting, Brindle Ridge caters to those more “agriculturally minded” due to the large parcel sizes, which require a greater amount of maintenance.

The size of the parcels and landscape features will screen the development from adjacent agricultural uses, as well as limit the impact on surrounding land uses. Each parcel would have direct access to an internally built roadway via a private driveway. Moreover, the internal road would reduce the number of access points on the Camrose County township road (Figure 2).

In regards to the future, the remainder of the parcel will continue to be utilized as both cultivated and native pasture land, in conjunction with the implementation of the phase two portion of the Brindle Ridge Development. The proposed lots were designed – as straight and square in nature – in an effort to limit the interference with the current agricultural land use, and to diminish any potential disputes between future property owners. Considering the adjacent rural residential developments, the proposed development should not offer any new challenges to existing landowners or county infrastructure. Specifically, when acknowledging the low population density of the proposed development

SERVICING

Access Roads The proposed lots will have access to Township Road 432 via an internal roadway, in which private driveways will be constructed. It is recognized that it is mandatory to construct and maintain the internal road to municipal standards.

Utilities Electricity will be made available to the property line of each lot, as powerlines run parallel to both the north and east quarter section property line. Currently, the parcel is serviced by a two inch natural gas line that runs inside of the northern property boundary.

Water Water can be made available at the discretion of the landowner, either by the process of drilling a water well or hauling in water. Water wells may be an appropriate water source for dwelling units, as a present water well is located in the center of the quarter section (Figure 2), and numerous existing wells within close proximity. Both of which display the availability of potable water.

Sewage Disposal Based on regulations within the Camrose County Land Use Bylaws, the proposed lots would be of an optimal size to house septic fields for wastewater and sewage disposal, although the choice is the discretion of the landowner. Since the parcel is within 200 m from Red Deer Lake, careful considerations

Bylaw 1383 to Redistrict NE 7-43-21-W4 from A to CR2 Page 89 of 165 ... Agenda Item # 12.2

will be made when implementing the construction of a sewage system; refer to Camrose County LUB policy 632 – Private Sewage near Recreational Lakes.

Stormwater Management Considering the vast parcel sizes and low population density, stormwater management may not be of concern as the development would be designed to not adversely impede surface and sub-surface runoff. The proposed environmental reserves and undulating landscape will also serve as natural catchment areas.

"<><>" CAMROSE COUNTY AGENDA ITEMS Meeting: Regular Meeting of the Council Meeting Date: 10 Jan 2017 Agenda Item No: AGD - 2553 Confidential: No Originated By: Anjah Howard Title: Bylaw 1390 to Redistrict Pt. RL 13-46- 21-W4 from A to CR2

ACTION / RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommend that Council give First Reading to Bylaw 1390 to redistrict Pt. RL 13-46-21-W4 from A - Agricultural to CR2 - Large Lot Country Residential.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The applicant wants to create a bareland subdivision on this parcel. However, River Lot (RL) 13 is already divided into 6 lots, only one of which is rezoned to CR2; the remaining lots were divided prior to the current bylaws in 1980 and 1983. The lot zoned CR2 was created in 2009. Our bylaw only allows a maximum of 3 parcels per quartersection or river lot.

The applicant states that the land is not suitable for farming, is limited in area & access.

The proposed parcel is accessed from an undeveloped road allowance that the adjacent landowner is currently using as a driveway; though the adjacent land does have legal access to developed roadway.

The Farmland Assessment Rating for this area of the parcel is 73.5%, but does overlook a ravine. Historically Council has considered the development of 'view lots' overlooking a waterbody, but it is not expressly considered in the current Municipal Development Plan.

Policy, Bylaws, Provincial Acts or Regulations: Financial Implications: None, all costs borne by the developer. Alternatives to the Recommendation: Pro's: Giving First Reading allows the Planning Department to circulate the Bylaw for Public comment. Con's: None. Communication: None. Documentation: 1. Bylaw 1390 DISCUSSION:

After first reading is given, the application will be forwarded directly to the neighbours, advertised on our website, and in the Camrose Booster for two weeks prior to the Public Hearing.

ACTION / RECOMMENDATION:

That Camrose County Council respectfully deny the request to establish a County Cat Bylaw.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

In a letter addressed to Reeve Gregorwich, J & M Girvan request that Council enact a rural cat bylaw to address the issue of roaming cats. Additional information was provided on the potential issues caused by cats.

Policy, Bylaws, Provincial Acts or Regulations: Financial Implications: Alternatives to the Recommendation: Pro's: Con's: Communication: Council Documentation: DISCUSSION:

Administration could only find one County that has a Cat Bylaw - RM of Wood Buffalo. They license Cats at the same rate as dogs ($50 non-spayed/non-neutered, and $15 for spayed/neutered), and charge additional fees for impounding, and fines for animals at large. The Bylaw also covers the City of Ft. MacMurray. A copy of the RM of Wood Buffalo Bylaw is attached. Many urban centers do have cat bylaws.

Most municipalities that do not have a Cat Bylaw state the cost of enforcement, including picking up and housing the stray animals, and administration involved in registering and handling complaints as the reasons against having a cat bylaw.

Camrose County's current Dog Control Bylaw is attached.

As you may be aware, we own and operate a berry upick and market garden on our acreage near Miquelon Lake Provincial Park.

Cat feces are also a health risk to our workers and us when working in soil contaminated by cat feces. Children are particularly susceptible to becoming infected with toxoplasmosis as they do not always take the time to wash their hands after playing outdoors or eating unwashed fruit or vegetables directly from the garden.

That cat poop can pose a health risk to humans no longer surprises us

Some cats carry a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii . Infected cats shed embryonic T. gondii, called oocysts , in their feces.

These oocysts are easily transmitted to humans, and researchers have explored their possible link to various mental health problems, including schizophrenia. More recently, studies of school—age children show a correlation between testing positive for T. gondii and having difficulty in school

The parasites can cause more acute health problems in newborns and people with weak immune systems, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention points out. I .I .II . " ..I| - - ....I.,. I Now a review published in Trends in Parasitology explores how substantial. aLIpublicJr-4health threat the parasite poses in the United States. One thing's pretty clear: There are a lot of oocysts out there. I ..— a..l.'I Research._ psychiatrist Dr. E. Fuller Torrey and pediatric infectious_---....J-,I1.._..disease specialist D1‘.Robert Yolken ,who have spentJ91-I-I.-.I.-Fyears investigating the role thatr-.animals play in the spread of infectious diseases, co-authored the roundup. = I:...,I|II Shots spoke with Torrey, who says there are four factors that he believes makes this a valid health

The cat population is growing. Every day about 1 million cats in the U.S. are actively pooping out as many as 50 million oocysts apiece. The oocycts are hard to kill. There is a well-documented correlation between mental illness and testing positive for T gondii antibodies. .

Article continues after sponsorship "This is a public health problem that bears more scrutiny," Torrey says. "We're walking a tight line between alarming people and failing to point out obvious health problems that need to be paid attention to."

Correlation isn't the same as causation, however, particularly when it comes to the area of mental health. "The association has been discussed, but it has not been completely accepted by everyone," Dr. William Schaffner, chairman of the department of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University, told NBC News. "If people were convinced of that, we would have acted on it."

The study examined the lives of both feral and household pet cats and found that collectively, cats are responsible for the death of 2.4 billion birds and 12.3 billion mammals each year That makes the innocent-looking domestic cat the single largest human-linked threat to wildlife in America Unfortunately, the report also found that the animals killed are far more likely to be of the native variety, like voles, birds and chipmunks, than the pest variety like the Norway rat. In fact, the cat is such an ef?cient killer that more birds and mammals die at the paws ofa cat than from cars, poison and collisions with buildings or windmills

While everyone can agree that it is safer for a cat to be kept indoors , both for wildlife and for the cat, the majority of the killing is performed by feral cats, rather than household variety. Stray and feral cats account for 61 percent of the birds and 89 percent of the mammals killed each year Finding a humane solution to the homeless cat problem has been a challenge for local anima|»contro| organizations: trap—and-neuter programs have their drawbacks and the number of unwanted cats that are euthanized each year is staggering. The one thing that is certain is that while the cat population continues to grow, the wildlife population will have yet another to contend

Dear Sir/Madam:

This letter acknowledges receipt of your complaint about the nuisance created by the barking/howling of a dog(s) in your neighbourhood. Based on the information you provided, the owner of the dog(s) will be notified about the complaint.

It has been our experience that many such neighbourhood issues can be favourably resolved by personal contact between the two parties involved. If you have not already done so, we sincerely recommend you personally express your concerns to the owner of the troublesome dog(s).

Should our correspondence to the Animal owner and your communication with him/her fail to bring about the desired results relative to the behaviour of their dog(s), we are prepared to prosecute the owner in the Provincial Judge=s Court on your behalf.

Section 4.02 of the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo Animal Control Bylaw No. 02/031 states: AIf an Animal barks or howls or makes another noise, thereby disturbing the quiet or repose of any person, the owner of the animal is guilty of an offence.@

Should you decide to pursue this course of action, a prosecution in Provincial Judge=s Court requires that you be very specific about all details in the gathering of information for your complaint.

To ensure a successful prosecution, the following points must be precisely followed: a) All incidents of nuisance barking by the offending dog(s) must be documented and include the date, time of day the barking started and stopped, and a brief description of the type of disturbance. An example will be found on the bottom of this letter. b) the document must be completed by yourself from personal observation of the offending dog(s). c) Document should be for a continuous period of at least five (5) days.

You must be able to state that you personally observed the dog barking and be prepared to describe the dog and a brief description of what took place.

Mr Paul King County Administrator Camrose County

3755 - 43 Avenue Camrose, AB T4V 3S8

Dear Mr King,

The Electoral Boundaries Commission was appointed on October 31, 2016, and is beginning its work. The next year will be spent reviewing the boundaries and names of the 87 electoral constituencies in the province, in accordance with legal requirements, including those set out in the Electoral Boundaries Commission Act. The results of this review will impact your vote in future provincial elections.

In addition to myself, as Chair, the Commission members are Gwen Day from the County of Mountain View, Laurie Livingstone of Calgary, D. Jean Munn of Calgary, and W. Bruce McLeod of Acme.

One of the most important aspects of this review is hearing from interested Albertans who wish to contribute to the redrawing of Alberta's constituency map. I encourage you to participate in this public consultation. You may participate by preparing a written submission or by making a presentation at one of the public hearings, the dates and locations of which will soon be announced. Please visit our website at abebc.ca for information as to how and when you may take part as we travel throughout the province gathering feedback on how best to update the constituency map of Alberta.

Our interim report will be submitted to the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly before May 31, 2017, and our final report will be submitted by October 31, 2017. There will be an opportunity for public input again after the interim report is submitted to the Speaker.

Yours truly,

Camrose County 3755-43 Avenue Camrose, AB T4V 3S8

Dear Reeve Gregorwich and Camrose County Council:

For the past 10 years we have worked with over 20 industry, academic, municipal, provincial and federal government partners investigating and demonstrating the use of fast growing woody crops to treat municipal sewage wastewater and solids, addressing their need to meet stricter environmental standards while increasing the amount of woody biomass for use in energy production and bio-products. Our research and technologies have been adopted by some private sector and municipal government end users (such as Camrose County) and the number of external inquiries regarding our research is growing. We are in the ‘chasm’ stage in the innovation curve between early adopters and the early majority. To span the chasm, there is a need to disseminate credible information from multiple sources so that the early majority (end users, entrepreneurs) can make informed decisions and ask questions (e.g. Can we do this too? Should I invest in this? Is there a business opportunity? Is this a solution to our problem? What does it look like? Can we believe the numbers?).

To address this need, we are proposing to hold a two day Alberta Rural Organic Waste to Resources Network (AROWRN) supported conference/workshop and field day to share our results and experiences, those of our partners and the early adopters, and others working in this area (nationally and internationally). The conference is tentatively scheduled for mid-June 2017 and to be held in Camrose. We will be pursuing speakers from a variety of background (national and international). The event is contingent on securing funds from multiple sources. These funding processes are underway and we will know if we are successful in early 2017.

I am writing to ask Camrose County to support our proposed AROWRN conference in the following ways:

1. Provide access to the Ohaton Sustainable Wood Energy site and Camrose County biomass boiler system during the tour portion of the conference 2. Participate in the tour and conference to share your experiences in willow plantation management and wood fired biomass heating

Request for Support AROWRN Conference Page 153 of 165 ... Agenda Item # 12.6

3. Provide personnel to assist in planning and logistics prior to and during the conference. Ideally this person would also be part of the conference organizing committee which will require a minimum of monthly conference call meetings 4. Sponsor the coffee break during the field day to the Ohaton site or provide other hospitality as the County sees fit.

Other organizations that have been asked for or have confirmed involvement and/or contributions to the conference are:

1. Grande Prairie Regional College, Centre for Research and Innovation- conference organization, logistics and application to NSERC for conference funding ($20000). 2. Natural Resources Canada, Canadian Forest Service, Canadian Wood Fibre Centre- conference organization, logistics and application to NRCan ADM Innovation Fund for conference funding ($35,500). 3. AIBio- Confirmed project funds ($10000). 4. University of Alberta/Augustana Campus – Conference presentation venue requested (in-kind). 5. SYLVIS Environmental – Coffee break sponsor requested (in-kind) 6. Bionera Resources – Coffee break sponsor requested (in-kind)

Should you have any questions regarding my request and the County's participation and support of this project, please contact me at 780-435-7309 ([email protected]) or Richard Krygier at 780-435-7286 ([email protected]). I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. The next conference planning meeting is scheduled for January 6th and would certainly appreciate the County’s involvement.

Ervick Waterline Considerations Page 155 of 165 ... Agenda Item # 12.7

ERVICK Waterline Considerations

In November of 2016, the representatives from the Samson Band met with Planning and Corporate Services regarding the industrial development at Ervick. They have been working on subdivision design and are preparing to develop the first phase in 2017 (NW 1-47-20W4M). They have concerns about potable water availability at the quarter and are requesting the County consider waterline construction to that site. The development of the quarter will be impacted by the provision of water, in saleability and attraction of potential tenants. Without the water line, it is unlikely the developer will proceed with the project.

The waterline will not supply a Hamlet, therefore there is no grant funding available. Camrose County can expect the developer to pay a share of the waterline costs through offsite levies, but as there is current and future benefit to many other landowners and tenants, both residential, and industrial, it is not reasonable to expect the developer to fund the project exclusively. To debenture the project would allow Camrose County to pay for the line over the timeframe that matches with the infrastructure lifecycle and the planned development.

If Camrose County invests in the waterline, the following would be the estimated costs and potential future incomes.

 Off-site levies: o Comparable with other municipal offsite levies. o The map in Appendix A shows the Growth Node used to calculate the Gross Benefiting Area (total 680 acres or 275 hectares). o Off-site Levy policy would need to be developed to establish a standard application in any County development. o The return from off-site levies at this location could range between $145,000 and $300,000 based on the formula and criteria set in the Off-Site Levy Bylaw (yet to be drafted). Below is a chart showing some examples of various recovery amounts for the Gross Developable Area.

Option A Total Project Cost (shown without water connection cost recovery) $ 5,147,200.00 275 ha Gross Developable Area Recoverable amount 100% $ 18,717.09 ha

Option B Total Project Cost (shown without water connection cost recovery) $ 5,147,200.00 275 ha Gross Developable Area Recoverable amount 75% $ 14,037.82 ha

Option C Total Project Cost (shown without water connection cost recovery) $ 5,147,200.00 275 ha Gross Developable Area Recoverable amount 50% $ 9,358.55 ha

 Bulk water sales: o A truckfill is included in the estimated cost of this project and could provide an additional $20,000 annually (estimate) in revenue.

Ervick Waterline Considerations Page 156 of 165 ... Agenda Item # 12.7

 Property taxes: o Average Taxes of Industrial Improvement in current Ervick Industrial park = $11,000 (not including Cargill development) o Total Ervick Industrial Park tax income in 2016 $274,000. o Initial development is expected to be 6-8 lots. Two more phases will follow to complete the development on the quarter. The total industrial development will be 128 acres. For analysis purposes, Phase two is projected to occur in 5 years and Phase 3 is in 10 years. o Value-added Ag. seems to be the main focus of planned development, but expect various tenants.

Projected Tax income using sample of 8 comparable current Ervick industrial lots:

Lot Number Lot Size Vacant Assessed Improved Assessed 2016 Property value Value Taxes 524500 9.41 562,650 unimproved $7,612.99 524502 2.5 239,800 306,160 $7,387.17 524508 6.35 473,130 unimproved $6,401.73 524516 1.00 85,500 19,830 $1,425.18 524521 3.16 293,740 314,150 $8,225.12 710200 4.02 356,490 520,710 $11,869.04 524517 1.67 169,640 200,040 $5,001.99 Total 28.11 2,180,950 1,360,890 $47,923.22 Note: The proposed phase one is approximately 40 acres, more than this example.

Initial Projected Tax Income (vacant land only): 40 acres at $80,000 per acre for land value= 3,200,000 assessed value (provided they are not being farmed). For every million dollars of improvement the County will receive $13,530 (approximately) in Property Taxes.

Estimated Land value in current Total estimated Property Tax estimate 2016 taxes on the acreage in Ervick industrial park vacant land (municipal taxes only, specified quarter Phase 1 assessment 2016 tax rate) (Ag. Use) 40 acres $80,000 per acre 3,200,000 $43,300 $330.72 land value

Costs:

 Waterline design and construction o 5.3 million o Debenture Costs would be $270,000 annually for 30 years at 3.374% interest o Camrose County has room in our debt limit . Debt Limit (estimated) $30,345,029 . Actual Debt $10,118,815 as of December 2016 . Debt Servicing Limit (estimated) $5,057,505 . Actual Servicing Cost $824,268 to service our current debt annually

Ervick Waterline Considerations Page 157 of 165 ... Agenda Item # 12.7

Additional benefits:

 Water to residents along the line o 8-10 acreages would have connection in exchange for easement across land o 20+ acreages would have potential to pay for water hook-ups ($5000 per connection)  Water available for current industrial clients with additional truck fill location.  Potential future expansion at multiple locations along the waterline.

Availability of water:

 Our current CRSWSC water allocation is 96,360 cubic meters.  At this time our total water demand is 5,099 cubic meters or 5.29% of our allocation. Water service connections only account for 1,095 cubic meters or 1.13% of our allocation.  As per CRSWSC, they are reviewing their allocation and the change will mean we can “take as much as we need”. Also CRSWSC is considering a pump upgrade that will increase our flow capacities.

Conclusion:

Camrose County’s guiding principles indicate that the County will work to enhance the tax base, through commercial and industrial expansion, for the benefit of County residents. In addition, Camrose County has a goal to support the distribution and availability of potable water to County residents and business. Retaining and attracting businesses to Camrose County, and promoting the benefits of the valuable transportation corridors is a key economic goal of the County. The development of the Armena to Ervick waterline supports all of these strategic principles and goals. Currently the Armena water service is operating at a deficit and more water users are needed to make the line more viable. Additional benefits which may result are the sale and development of existing Ervick lots, the development of adjacent quarters and potential development at other locations along the waterline. Any development will be beneficial to the local job market during construction as well as once the industries are operational. Value-added agriculture could be beneficial to local area farmers by providing additional markets and innovative products for diversification.

The development of NW1-47-20W4M is summarized in the projected tax revenue and offsite levy calculations in the following chart, which shows the estimated costs and projected revenues as discussed above. These projections do not include potential tax revenue from any other development that could occur. These estimates were deliberately conservative, but still theoretical. The spreadsheet showing the numbers used in this chart is included in Appendix D.

If Council directs Administration to pursue this project, work will begin immediately in the following areas, which would each come to Council for approval:

 Borrowing Bylaw and Alberta Capital Finance paperwork  Off-site Levy Bylaw and calculations  Easement arrangements with affected landowners  Project tendering and CRSWSC paperwork

APPENDIX A:

Off-site levy Comparison with other Municipalities

Planning reviewed Water Off-Site Levies at the municipalities listed. They vary in value because the Municipal Government Act requires that off-site levies be based on construction costs. Each water project will have different costs associated with them. Where a municipality has multiple water off-site levies the one most like the Ervick development has been selected.
