Agenda Item: Intermunicipal Library Agreement Issue To run in accordance with current legislation, the Town and County should formally establish an intermunicipal library board. Options for Consideration 1. Accept the proposed contract. 2. Propose amendments to the proposed contract. General The Stettler Public Library has been running as a committee of two municipal library boards, being the County of Stettler Library Board and the Town of Stettler Library Board. When this was established, it was a unique arrangement, but since then the Libraries Act has formalized mechanisms for an intermunicipal library board. It would be prudent to bring the Stettler Public Library into compliance with current legislation. Financial The agreement proposes to keep the existing cost-sharing agreement with the County paying 35% of the shortfall of revenue after expenses, and the Town paying 65% of the shortfall of revenue after expenses. This version of the agreement also codifies that the Stettler Public Library will remit 10% of their provincial funding received on behalf of the County to each Donalda and Big Valley. Policy/Legislation Under the Authority of the Libraries Act, RSA 2000, c L-11, s 12.2
“The council of a municipality may, by bylaw, authorize the municipality to enter into an agreement that meets the requirements of the regulations with one or two other municipalities respecting the establishment of an intermunicipal library board to provide library services to the residents of the municipalities.” Strategic Plan Linkages 3.2 Planning and Economic Development Implementation/Communication The Town of Stettler will be notified of Council’s intent. If the Town is agreeable, both Councils will need a bylaw to be passed and submitted for the Minister to make an order establishing the Intermunicipal Library Board.

Agenda Item: Kneehill County – ICF and IDP exemption Issue The new Municipal Government Act requires all municipalities that share a common border to adopt an Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework (ICF) by April 1, 2021, including the creation and adoption of an Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP). Options for Consideration (Recommendations) 1. Council request the Minister of Municipal Affairs consider granting an exemption under section 631 and 780 of the Municipal Government Act for the requirement for Kneehill County and Stettler County to complete an Intermunicipal Development Plan and Intermunicipal Collaborative Framework Agreement.
2. Council direct Administration to complete the requirements as outlined in the Municipal Government Act for the completion of an Intermunicipal Development Plan and an Intermunicipal Collaborative Framework between the municipalities of Starland County and Stettler County. General The new Municipal Government Act requires all municipalities that share a common border to adopt an Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework (ICF) by April 1, 2021, including the creation and adoption of an Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP).
Municipalities are mandated to work together to adopt IDPs to: • Promote consultation, coordination and cooperation regarding planning matters of joint interest within a defined planning area; • Provide a framework for addressing land use concerns with regard to joint planning matters; • Establish procedures for dealing with development proposals within a defined planning area; and • Address any other matters relating to development considered necessary within a joint planning area.
Municipalities are also mandated to work together to adopt an Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework to: • Identify those services provided by each municipality and those services being shared on an intermunicipal basis or by third party • Identify those services best provided on a municipal, intermunicipal or third party basis • Services are those related to transportation, water and wastewater, solid waste, emergency services, recreation and any other services where those services benefit residents in more than one of the municipalities that are parties to the framework.
Under section 631(1.2), the Minister may, by order, exempt one or more councils from the requirement to adopt an intermunicipal development plan, and the order may contain any terms and conditions that the Minister considers necessary.
Under section 780.28(4.b), the Minister may also exempt one or more municipalities from the requirement to create an Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework.
The border between Starland County and Kneehill County is the Red Deer River. There are currently no shared services between the two municipalities or transportation corridors under municipal control. Development opportunities along the boundary are very limited due to those lands being either controlled by the crown, considered hazard lands or provide no or very limited opportunity for development. Access is also often limited due to topography.
The border between Stettler County and Kneehill County is comprised mostly of Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park. All other lands are considered crown lands or lands with limited or no development potential or access. As well, there are no services that are shared between the two municipalities.
Our current Land Use Bylaw does require the County to notify adjacent landowners within ½ mile range of any proposed development or subdivision. This practice would continue regardless of an Intermunicipal Development Plan in place.
Financial None Policy/Legislation Municipal Government Act:
Under section 631(1.2), the Minister may, by order, exempt one or more councils from the requirement to adopt an inter-municipal development plan, and the order may contain any terms and conditions that the Minister considers necessary.
Under section 780.28(4.b), the Minister may also exempt one or more municipalities from the requirement to create an Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework. Strategic Plan Linkages 3.2 – County will complete all required IDP and ICF plans by April 2020 Implementation/Communication Decision will be shared with Kneehill County, and request to the minister will be coordinated by Communications Department Target Decision Date August 14, 2019 Prepared By Shawna Benson, Legislative Services

1. INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES
The Counties of Paintearth and Stettler exist as border-sharing municipalities in East Central Alberta in a rural prairie landscape and have decided to provide for the long-term planning of rural lands within the two municipal districts. They also value the advantages of predetermining processes for land use and development where one municipality’s border areas are affected by the other’s new developments. Therefore, both of the Municipalities have decided to develop an intermunicipal development plan (IDP) to provide a predetermined framework to make long-term land use planning decisions.
IDPs are broad-based policy documents that strive for environmentally responsible development without significant unnecessary costs and unacceptable negative impacts on the Municipalities. This IDP will provide a platform to formalize the strong relationship between the Counties. By doing so, it is hoped that the potential for future disputes is minimized. However, if a future dispute does occur, the Plan also indicates the dispute resolution process is agreed upon by both Municipalities.
Land use planning decisions made by both Municipalities affect and influence one another. Prominent planning issues include conflicts between differing rural land uses and coordinating infrastructural improvements. Positive relationships will lead to sharing of resources, achieving economic development goals and more efficient municipal and community services. An IDP is arguably the most critical tool in initiating those advantages.
Municipal staff, Fringe Area residents, landowners, and businesses have worked together to develop the policies and land use map. Public input was sought on different occasions before the Plan was presented for adoption. The Municipalities believe the Plan will guide future growth and provide a forum for potential intermunicipal collaboration on a wide range of issues. To that extent, the County of Paintearth and the County of Stettler intend to adhere to this intermunicipal development plan by achieving the following objectives:
a) To protect existing land uses to prevent encroachment. b) To support reasonable and practical planning for future infrastructure needs. c) To implement fair and consistent regulations for properties on the boundary. d) To provide a framework of mutual cooperation and communication for the decision-making and resolution of planning and development matters. e) To engage in fringe reciprocity measures to ensure the interests of both Municipalities are acknowledged and accounted for.
County of Paintearth / County of Stettler Intermunicipal Development Plan Page 4 f) To ensure a transparent process and subsequent results for necessary stakeholders. g) To develop this IDP to provide clarity and continuity for future Councils. h) To value contributions from both municipalities and support from the taxpayers of both Municipalities.
2. PLAN INTERPRETATION
1. All words in the Plan shall have the same meaning as defined in the Municipal Government Act. For words not defined under the Municipal Government Act, their meaning shall be as is understood in everyday language.
2. The word “shall” is interpreted as meaning an obligatory direction.
3. The word “may” is interpreted as meaning a choice exists with no preferred direction intended.
3. MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT ACT (MGA) REQUIREMENTS
As of April 1, 2018, the development and implementation of an intermunicipal development plan are mandated by the Municipal Government Act R.S.A. 2000, c. M-26 (as amended).
As established by the Act, an intermunicipal development plan is a statutory document and in accordance with Section 631 of the Act stating that:
631(1) Two or more councils of municipalities that have common boundaries [may], by each passing a bylaw […], adopt an intermunicipal development plan to include those areas of land lying within the boundaries of the municipalities as they consider necessary.
In addition, Section 631(2) of the Act states that this Plan MUST address:
(i) the future land use within the area, (ii) the manner of and the proposals for future development in the area, (iii) the provision of transportation systems for the area, either generally or specifically, (iv) the coordination of intermunicipal programs relating to the physical, social and economic development of the area, (v) environmental matters within the area, either generally or specifically, and (vi) any other matter related to the physical, social or economic development of the area that the councils consider necessary.
Following Section 631(2) of the Act, this Plan MUST include:
(i) a procedure to be used to resolve or attempt to resolve any conflict between the municipalities that have adopted the plan, (ii) a procedure to be used, by one or more municipalities, to amend or repeal the plan, and (iii) provisions relating to the administration of the plan.
4. IDENTIFICATION OF FRINGE AREA
County of Paintearth / County of Stettler Intermunicipal Development Plan Page 5 For all land descriptions – please refer to Appendix A contained at the end of this document.
All lands within a reasonable and finite distance of 1 mile on both sides of the shared border of the Municipalities were identified as the lands comprising the “Fringe Area”.
4.1 DISCRETIONARY LAND USE REGULATIONS FOR FRINGE AREA
Uses identified within both Municipalities’ Land Use Bylaws in regards to their District regulations are acceptable for review with no specific needs for exclusion. Furthermore, a few other discretionary land uses within the Fringe Area will trigger a more thorough review due to sensitivity and proximity to land uses within the neighbouring Municipality that would be affected by development in the Fringe. Therefore, such development in the Fringe Area that would adversely affect the neighbouring landowners in the Area must be placed under review by the necessary Council to provide discretionary judgement on the proposed land use in question.
5. LANDS WITHIN FRINGE AREA
5.1 AGRICULTURAL QUALITY
Both Municipalities have identified that the lands within the Fringe Area range from productive to marginal agricultural lands and indicate that no enhanced or special capabilities exist or are planned for such lands.
5.2 ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITIES
Environmentally significant areas which are to require strict environmental impact considerations and close review of potential land developments are identified and listed as:
a) County of Stettler:
The County’s most significant and enduring resource is its natural capital, referring primarily to the agricultural and environmental lands present in the County. These lands are irreplaceable and contribute immensely to the high quality of life enjoyed by the residents of the County. The use of natural capital, therefore, must be carefully managed to retain their integrity and value for the benefit of future generations. The County aspires to establish and implement a land management philosophy that strives to balance the conservation of natural capital with long term growth needs. In doing so, the County supports the preservation and enhancement of environmentally significant areas, protect the ecological function and integrity of natural features and fish and wildlife habitats and promote environmentally sensitive development practices that minimize the impact of human activity on the natural environment.
Objectives: o Protect environmentally significant areas from incompatible land uses. o Minimize the impacts of development on the natural environment. o Raise community awareness of the impacts of human activity on the eco system.
County of Paintearth / County of Stettler Intermunicipal Development Plan Page 6 b) County of Paintearth:
• Similar to the County of Stettler, the County of Paintearth’s Development Authority considers the environmental impact of any proposed development within the Fringe Area. The County has identified in its Municipal Development Plan areas near/within the Fringe Area that are labelled Environmentally Significant Areas (Appendix B). From the MDP: “It should be noted that the environmentally significant areas study was completed in 1988 and some parcels of land may no longer contain the features described in the study.” The County’s process is to review developments on a case by case basis whereby the merits and land use of each individual application are weighed in relation to nearby or adjacent land uses to prevent adverse effects on neighbouring properties. It is also noted from within the County MDP that there are few, if any, Hazard Development Areas as identified on the attached map (Appendix C). When warranted, the County also requires that the developer may be responsible for completing and submitting an environmental assessment prepared by an appropriate professional at their cost.
5.3 TRANSPORTATION LINKAGES
Due to the alignment of the two municipal partners, the border roads of Range Roads and Township Roads are the responsibility of the County of Paintearth.
However, any substantive development that would pose any change in normal traffic patterns for the neighbouring Municipality or would incur any infrastructural wear or damage to the neighbouring Municipality’s infrastructure shall be consented to by the affected Municipality prior to such substantive development taking place.
Therefore, it may be more relevant to sharing future developments further to the west side from the County of Stettler outside of the 1-mile Fringe Area impacting these Rights of Way. Also, the Developments impacting the County of Stettler and the County of Paintearth arterial roads such as Township Road 400, 390, 370, and others that are shared by the Counties may require further referral distances also.
5.4 BORDER DEVELOPMENTS AND PRIORITIES
Neither Municipality has any immediate/pressing planning or development priorities for the lands within the Fringe Area.
5.5 UTILITY SERVICING
Currently, there are no shared – or planned sharing of - utility services between the neighbouring Municipalities. Consequently, a shared agreement in regards to utility servicing between the Municipalities will neither need to occur currently or for the foreseeable future due to lack of demand and lack of population density in the Fringe Area.
The County of Paintearth does have a municipal waterline to a property on the County boundary at RR164 just south of TWP RD 390, should any proposed future tie-ins from the County of Stettler be considered a separate agreement between the Councils would be a requirement.
County of Paintearth / County of Stettler Intermunicipal Development Plan Page 7 6. LAND USE COMPATIBILITY AND ENCROACHMENT
As part of the mutual cooperation and respect for each Municipality's jurisdiction, potential land uses and developments must recognize and be sensitive to existing landowners, and incompatible developments are to be prevented. Ill-planned or uncoordinated planning efforts by either Municipality have the potential to cause conflict between rural fringe uses within the Fringe Area. Therefore, the importance of development consultation between the Municipalities is paramount to alleviate conflict or tension between existing landowners. To this extent, the referral processes will ensure that proper and reasonable planning will occur through the development permit and subdivision approval process to limit the adverse effects of new developments on preexisting land uses.
Both Municipalities recognize similar land uses and rural activities due to their similar zoning of Agriculture Districts in the Fringe Area. Moreover, both Counties place importance on the conservation of agricultural land thus, those sensitive discretionary land uses identified in section 4.1, such as major industrial development within the Fringe Area that may cause significant effects to neighbouring landowners (i.e. WECS), would require mandatory consultation between the Municipalities before such development takes place. Additionally, both Municipalities shall support development within the Fringe Area provided that it:
a) is based on an identified need b) is consistent with the overall planning strategy of the adjacent rural municipality, and c) is, where practical, directed to areas of non-productive agricultural land.
7. CONFINED FEEDING OPERATIONs (CFOs) AND NRCB APPLICATIONS
Due to the nature of large-scale feedlot and intensive livestock operations and the important issue of air quality and groundwater proximity, exclusion zones are acknowledged and identified for those operations falling under the jurisdiction of the Natural Resource and Conservation Board (NRCB) authority as established by the Agricultural Operations and Protection Act (AOPA) as well as for those operations which fall under the threshold of the NRCB limits, but still require a development consideration from the appropriate Municipality.
Keeping in mind the Counties require consultation and discretionary approval for the development of CFOs. Further, their MDPs mandates that any possibility of groundwater, well, or spring contamination by manure storage facilities shall be avoided thus, the protection of such bodies of water within the Fringe Area must be acknowledged and upheld by both Municipalities in the Area.
In regards to the County of Paintearth’s policy towards to the development of CFOs that would raise special considerations within the Fringe Area, they have outlined in their Municipal Development Plan that the development of CFOs in Environmentally Significant Areas (ESAs) would be grounds for special review and consideration due to the effects that a CFO would have on the ecological and biological nature of the area. Keeping this in mind, the County recognizes a large area of the Sullivan Lake watershed region as an ESA which abuts or crosses through the Fringe Area between the Municipalities in Townships 36 and 35. Therefore, as indicated in section
County of Paintearth / County of Stettler Intermunicipal Development Plan Page 8 5.7(a) of their MDP, the future development of a CFO in the Sullivan Lake watershed area including within the Fringe Area, would be prohibited due to the proximity of the unique natural landscape and the reliance on this landscape for tourism and recreational pursuits.
8. OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS AND AER APPLICATIONS
Oil and gas operations in both Municipalities are abundant in number which, consequently, increases the need for intermunicipal collaboration and cooperation in regards to the management of energy resource development. With that being said, oil and gas operations are under the regulating authority of the Alberta Energy Regulator, as established by the Oil and Gas Conservation Act, which can create a potential for conflict within the Fringe Area for existing oil and gas facilities as well as the development of new facilities and operations.
With this potential for conflict, the necessity of this Plan is immense as it addresses the issuance of consents for road use, land access, and buried services crossing municipal infrastructure in the following manner:
Wherein an oil and gas installation is requesting access to lands within one municipality from the neighbouring municipality’s rights of way, consent shall be issued by the municipality whose right of way is affected.
9. ADJUDICATION PROCESS FOR APPLICATIONS WITHIN FRINGE AREA
The IDP calls for the referral only of all subdivision, development, and planning applications within the Fringe Area, and in no circumstance will there be a need for joint review and adjudication. Therefore, the process of review and adjudication of applications is initiated and undertaken by the affected Municipality.
10. REFERRAL PROCESS FOR APPLICATIONS WITHIN FRINGE AREA
A pillar of a successful IDP is an open and thorough discussion of issues impacting the Plan Area. Future plans, studies, or their subsequent amendments will be prepared and implemented more efficiently provided there is good communication.
The referral areas for each municipality will be as follows:
Only those developments involving discretionary uses identified in section 4.1 above or those that involve shared transportation linkages or environmentally sensitive areas shall be referred to each municipality for comment and review prior to the respective municipal adjudication process.
The referral process will be as follows:
1. The Municipality proposing development requiring special discretion in the Fringe Area shall share information, data or studies, and road plans that may have implications for the Area to the affected Municipality.
2. The proposing Municipality shall refer to other possible proposed statutory plans, concept plans, land use bylaws and amendments to any of these documents where such proposals may affect land within the Fringe Area.
County of Paintearth / County of Stettler Intermunicipal Development Plan Page 9 3. The affected Municipality shall have twenty-one days to review and comment on any referrals. The affected Municipality may request an extension of the initial review period. The proposing Municipality sending the referral may agree to an extension of the review period and, where an extension is provided, it shall be communicated in writing.
4. Subject to a written and signed intermunicipal memorandum of understanding, items subject to referral and their respective timelines for submitting comments may be added or deleted without the need for a formal amendment to this Plan.
5. Planning and Development issues that become evident during a circulation review through the communication and referral process will be communicated to the proposing Municipality in writing. In order to facilitate the cooperative development process, the Municipalities shall address the issues or source of contention using the following process:
Stage 1: Administrative Review Every attempt shall be made to discuss the issue between the Municipalities’ Chief Administrative Officers and Development Authorities with the intent of arriving at a mutually acceptable resolution. If an agreement or understanding on how to approach the issue is reached, the affected Municipality shall indicate the same to the proposing Municipality in writing. If an agreement cannot be reached, the matter shall be referred to the Intermunicipal Committee.
Stage 2: Intermunicipal Planning Committee Review If an issue is referred, a meeting shall be scheduled to allow both Administrations to present their perspectives and views on the issue. The Intermunicipal Planning Committee is comprised of a total of six appointed representatives including one staff member and two elected Councillors from both Counties, less those Councillors who are also members of the SDAB. The Intermunicipal Committee may:
a) Provide suggestions back to both Administrations on how to address the issue and refer the matter back to the Administrative Review stage;
b) Seek additional information and alternatives for consideration at a future meeting of the Intermunicipal Committee;
c) If possible, agree on a consensus position that resolves the issue; or
d) Conclude that no initial agreement can be reached, and the development matter will be left to the respective Municipality's Development Authority for adjudication, with the objecting Municipality having the ability to refer the matter to the dispute resolution process as outlined for an approved development permit or subdivision applications. In the event that the Intermunicipal Committee reaches consensus and resolves the issue, the details of the consensus shall be provided to the Municipalities in writing.
11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS
This is a mandatory component of the IDP as per the MGA. While the intent is to avoid municipal appeals of decisions to the SDAB, an unresolvable issue, or proceeding to an appeal to the Municipal Government Board (MGB), there may be issues or applications that still need to be
County of Paintearth / County of Stettler Intermunicipal Development Plan Page 10 administered. Where a decision leads to contention between the two partner Municipalities, the process indicated below will occur in respect to the decision.
For the dispute resolution process, a Dispute Resolution Committee will serve for the interests of both Municipalities and is comprised of an equal number of appointed representatives from both Municipalities, which includes the Chief Administrative Officers and Development Authorities and two council members from each Municipality, less those who serve on the SDAB.
The following shall form the basis for initiating the dispute resolution process:
a) Lack of agreement between the Municipalities on any proposed amendment to this Plan; b) Lack of agreement between the Municipalities on any proposed statutory plan, concept plan, land use bylaw or amendment to any of these documents affecting lands within the Fringe Area which have not been reconciled through the Referral Process; or c) Lack of agreement between the Municipalities on an interpretation of this Plan; d) Lack of agreement between the Municipalities on an approved development permit or subdivision application affecting lands within the Fringe Area which have not been reconciled through the Referral Process.
The dispute resolution process of this Plan may only be initiated by the Council of either County and shall only be used for resolving intermunicipal planning disputes. Where either Municipality has received written notice of a dispute from the other Municipality, the dispute resolution process shall be started within fifteen calendar days of the date the written notice was received unless otherwise agreed to by the Chief Administrative Officer of the Municipality that sent the notice.
A dispute shall be addressed and may be resolved at any stage using the following process:
Stage 1: Mediation Process In accordance with Section 690(1)(c) of the MGA, engaging a mediator is mandatory in order for an appeal to occur before the Municipal Government Board (MGB), unless otherwise able to provide reasonable and valid evidence as to why a mediator was not engaged. Therefore, it is the best practice to engage a mediator to resolve a dispute through a neutral entity. A dispute is referred for mediation which shall be used to reach an agreement unless otherwise deemed unnecessary by the Councils of the affected Municipality and proposing Municipality. Prior to the commencement of the mediation process, the Municipalities shall:
1. Appoint an equal number of representatives from both Municipalities to participate in the mediation process on a Dispute Resolution Committee;
2. Engage a mediator agreed to by both Municipalities at equal cost to both parties; and
3. Approve a mediation process and schedule. Mediation should commence no later than thirty days following the date the written dispute notice was received.
4. If agreed to by the Dispute Resolution Committee, Municipal Administration may be used as a resource during the mediation process.
5. All discussions and information related to the mediation process shall be held in confidence until the conclusion of the mediation process.
County of Paintearth / County of Stettler Intermunicipal Development Plan Page 11 6. The process shall be deemed as finished once the mediator submits a report to the Councils of both Municipalities.
7. The mediator’s report and recommendations shall not be binding on either Municipality.
8. For disputes that cannot be appealed, the mediator’s report shall be considered binding.
9. If the Councils accept the mediator’s report in their respective meetings, this shall be communicated to the Municipality in writing and the matter shall be considered resolved. The report shall be introduced through the public hearing process along with any necessary amendments to the proposed bylaw or plan.
10. If mediation is not undertaken or the mediator’s report is not accepted by the Councils, then the disputing municipality may begin the appeal process where permitted to do so by the Municipal Government Act.
Stage 2: Appeal Process In the event that mediation proves to be unsuccessful, was not undertaken, or the proposing Municipality proceeds with an approval that does not reflect the accepted mediation recommendations, the affected Municipality may appeal the matter to the MGB in accordance with Section 690(1) of the Municipal Government Act.
If the disputing Municipality initiates a dispute, they may withdraw their objections at any time throughout the process and shall provide written confirmation that the dispute is withdrawn to the proposing Municipality.
Both the M.D. and the County agree that time shall be of the essence when working through the dispute resolution process.
12. IMPLEMENTATION, REVIEW, AMENDMENTS AND REPEAL OF IDP
This is also a mandatory component of the IDP as per the MGA. The IDP is seen as a living document, in that it is open to review, amendment and effect within a term agreed upon by the Municipalities in accordance with the following stipulations:
1. This IDP will go under mandatory review every five years following the date of adoption by the Councils of both Municipalities unless otherwise reviewed and renewed before such date. If a review does not occur within such a timeline, it will expire indefinitely.
2. Upon adoption, the IDP will supersede previous policies, studies or resolutions for the Fringe Area contained within.
3. The IDP may be reviewed annually together by both of the Municipality’s CAOs with development staff for possible amendments, which may be suggested at any time from the joint review committee.
4. Repealing the IDP or withdrawing from it requires both municipalities to go through the Dispute Resolution Process steps 1-2.

Bylaw 1611-19 to Amend Land Use Bylaw 1443-10 as Amended Minor Review of the Bylaw
This addendum to the Bylaw Report is in response to questions and concerns raised about specific proposed amendments.
1. Revise Section 8 definition of a Recreation Facility – Indoor and Recreation Facility – Outdoor by removing the provision for “ancillary accommodations and other accessory building specifically for the use of patrons who are actively or passively engaging in the recreational activity”.
The purpose of this amendment is to ensure separate applications are made for distinct uses. There are a number of different types of accommodations (ie Bed and Breakfast Establishment, Campground, Guest Ranch, etc) which are separate uses in the Land Use Bylaw. Additionally, Accessory Building is a distinct use. Because these uses are distinct, applications for each should be distinct in order to allow the development authority to properly assess the suitability of the application for the proposed accommodation or accessory building (including scale and off-site and on-site impacts relating to traffic, noise, parking, environmental considerations, related utilities, storm drainage, etc).
2. Revise Section 16.1 to provide that “A Development Permit is not required if the development or use is restricted exclusively to the following, provided that the development shall otherwise comply with all applicable previsions and regulations of this Bylaw:”
The purpose of this amendment is to eliminate any lack of clarity with respect to the types of development for which a development permit is not required. This amendment clarifies that specific, isolated development may not require a development permit when it is part of an already approved development. For example, the list of exempted uses s. 16.1(f) references “the placement of a Recreational Vehicle in an approved Recreational Vehicle Park or Campground in those Districts where this use is allowed”; the additional phrase removes any ambiguity and makes it clear that a development permit is not required for the specific and isolated placement of a Recreational Vehicle in a Recreational Vehicle Park or Campground where the Recreational Vehicle Park or Campground is already properly authorized but otherwise the placement of a Recreational Vehicle might require a development permit.
3. Delete Section 16.1(w) “subject to Section 60.17, excavation and construction site preparation (ie land clearing, survey cut lines, topsoil stripping and site grading) that is part of a development for which a Development Permit has been issued or this is part of a multi-lot subdivision development for which a Subdivision Approval has been issued.”
The purpose of this amendment is to ensure phasing of development is done in conjunction with specific development permit conditions and to disallow any preparation of the site until a development permit is issued and conditions are met. Excluding these provisions will help provide clarity on the scope of appropriate excavation and construction site preparation. 4. Delete Section 75.2 regarding the number of Recreational Vehicles that may be used for 21 days and the requirement of obtaining a tag for additional units.
While first reading contemplated the deletion of Section 75.2, upon further consideration Administration recommends retaining Section 75.2.
5. Revise Section 107. 2 Recreation Facility District by removing Recreation Facility - Indoor and Recreation Facility - Outdoor as permitted uses and revise Section 107.3 to add Recreation Facility - Indoor and Recreation Facility - Outdoor as discretionary uses.
The purpose for this amendment is to allow for the proper assessment of the suitability of the proposed development on the lands. Classifying the use as discretionary rather than permitted will enhance the Development Authority’s ability to consider the proposed development’s compatibility with neighboring development and uses, environmental impacts, noise, traffic, drainage, and other relevant planning considerations Further, consideration of appropriate infrastructure requirements can also be more easily addressed (roads and utilities).

County of Stettler No. 6 LAND USE BYLAW No. 1443-10, as amended
(ii) 400 metres from the property boundary of all schools (as defined in the School Act), training facilities and other educational premises to the occupied floor area of a Cannabis Retail Sales; (iii) 400 metres from the occupied floor area of a Day Care Facility to the occupied floor area of a Cannabis Retail Sales use; (iv) 400 metres from the property boundary of a recreation facility, a playground, a community centre, a church or a public park, to the occupied floor area of a Cannabis Retail Sales. 48.2 The production of cannabis is included in the land use definitions of “Manufacturing, Processing or Assembly Facility” and “Value Added Agricultural Industry” however, where a facility or industry produces cannabis, the sale of cannabis from that facility or industry is prohibited and the operator of the facility or industry would be required to obtain a separate development permit for “Cannabis Retail Sales”, provided the Land Use District in which the subject property is located, included that use. 48.3 In addition to the requirements of this Bylaw, a person who obtains a Development Permit for Cannabis Retail Sales or for cannabis production is required to comply with all federal, provincial and other municipal legislation. The issuance of a Development Permit for Cannabis Retail Sales or for cannabis production indicates only that the development to which the Development Permit relates is authorized in accordance with the provisions of this Land Use Bylaw respecting land use and development standards, including those respecting the location of premises described in a cannabis license and distances between those premises and other premises. The issuance of a Development Permit for Cannabis Retail Sales or for cannabis production does not in any way relieve or excuse the Development Permit holder from obtaining and complying with any other permit (including safety codes permits e.g. building, electrical, gas, plumbing, etc.), license, or other authorization required by any Federal or Provincial Act or regulation, or under any Bylaw of the County, or complying with the conditions of any easement, covenant, agreement, or other instrument affecting the building or land. It remains the Development Permit holder’s responsibility to ensure compliance with such other legislation, including the provincial and federal legislation regarding Cannabis. The Development Authority does not administer or enforce such other legislation. 49. CANVAS COVERED STRUCTURE 49.1 Notwithstanding the provisions of any land use district the development of a canvas covered structure as either a principal building or an ancillary building on any parcel of land adjacent to or within a multi-lot subdivision, a hamlet, a village or a town shall be a discretionary use and the Municipal Planning Commission, in its sole discretion, may approve a development permit application for a canvas covered structure on a temporary basis pursuant to Section 25.
50. CHANGE OF USE OR INTENSITY OF USE 50.1 A development permit is required where the following occurs: (a) a change of use of land or of an existing building or an act done in relation to land or to an existing building that results in or is likely to result in a change in the use of the land or the existing building, or (b) a change in the intensity of use of land or of an existing building or an act done in relation to land or to an existing building that results in or is likely to result in a change in the intensity of use of the land or the existing building.

51. COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL DESIGN GUIDELINES 51.1 In making a decision on any commercial or industrial type development permit application in any land use district that allows these types of developments on land that is designated as a County growth area in the County of Stettler No. 6 and Town of Stettler Inter-municipal Development Plan, the Development Authority shall have regard for Schedule ‘B’, being the Gateway Commercial and Industrial Design Guidelines.
52. COMMUNICATION ANTENNA AND STRUCTURE
Note: Industry Canada is responsible for regulating radio communications in Canada and for authorizing the location of radio communication facilities, including communication antennas and structures. In making its decision regarding a proposed communication antenna and structure and related facilities, Industry Canada may consider the following: (a) the input provided by the land-use authority; (b) compliance with Transport Canada’s painting and lighting requirements for aeronautical safety; (c) Health Canada’s safety guidelines respecting limits of exposure to radio frequency fields; and, (d) an environmental assessment may be required in order to comply with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The participation or otherwise of the County in the consultation process does not transfer any federal decision-making authority, nor does it confer a right of veto in the location of the radio communication facility. 52.1 Pursuant to Section 16.1(x) a development permit for a communication antenna and structure is required only when it exceeds 9.14 m (30 ft) in height from finished grade. 52.2 An application for a development permit for a communication antenna and structure shall include a co-location assessment pursuant to Section 52.3, a site plan drawn to scale and identifying the site boundary, the tower, the location of guy wire anchors, existing and proposed structures, vehicular parking and access, existing vegetation to be retained, removed, or replaced, and uses and structures on the site and abutting properties. 52.3 Unless demonstrated to be impractical, a communication antenna shall be mounted on an existing structure (including a building or a tower) or within a transportation or utility corridor. An application for a new tower must include an assessment of other towers in operation/constructed or of other tower sites for which a development permit have been issued within a five mile radius of the subject site. The assessment must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Development Authority that co-location of the proposed Communication Antenna on any existing tower or structure is not a viable alternative to a new structure (due to, for example, site line issues). 52.4 Subject to Section 52.5, the tower base shall be set back from the property lines by a distance of 20 percent of the tower height or the distance between the tower base and guy wire anchors, whichever is greater. 52.5 Guy wire anchors shall be set back at least 1.0 m (3 ft) from the side and rear property lines and shall follow the front yard setback requirements of Section 58.24. 52.6 Any equipment or maintenance shelter must meet the yard setback requirements for an Ancillary Building in the district in which the parcel is located.
County of Stettler No. 6 LAND USE BYLAW No. 1443-10, as amended
52.7 A Communication Antenna and Structure must have the least practical adverse visual effect on the environment. This may be accomplished by using landscaping, fencing or tower design, including the imitation of natural features such as a tree. 52.8 The Communication Antenna and Structure shall be fenced with suitable protective anti- climb fencing to the satisfaction of the Development Authority. 52.9 The Communication Antenna and Structure shall not be illuminated unless required by Transport Canada regulations, and except for a manufacturer’s logo, shall not exhibit or display any advertising. 52.10 A communication antenna and structure intended for amateur radio shall be located on the same site as the intended signal user. Note: The County encourages applicants to consult with residents adjacent to the application site prior to making an application for a development permit. Upon a decision made by the Development Authority to approve a development permit application for a communication antenna or structure the County will notify the occupants of all dwelling units within one mile of the site and provide them an opportunity to appeal it.
53. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LEGISLATION 53.1 The issuing of a Development Permit in any Land Use District shall indicate that the development to which the Development Permit relates is authorized only in accordance with the provisions of this Bylaw and shall in no way affect the duty or obligation of a person: (a) to obtain any other permit, license, or other authorization required by any federal or provincial Act or Regulation of any other jurisdiction or by any other Bylaw of the County; or (b) to comply with the conditions of any easement, restrictive covenant, caveat, agreement or other instrument affecting the building or land.

58.6 No permanent structures are permitted within the definable 1:100 year floodplain of any river, stream or other water body, unless the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Development Authority that proper flood proofing techniques (preventative engineering and construction methods) recommended by a qualified professional are applied as part of a development permit application.
58.7 Pursuant to Section 58.6, the Development Authority may require that the applicant for the development permit post a security deposit to the County to ensure that development is carried out in conformity with the approved engineering and construction measures to make the site suitable for the specific development, and the Development Authority may require the applicant for the specific development permit to enter into a save harmless agreement with the County, relieving the County of responsibility for any damage or loss caused through flooding or subsidence, and the County may register a restrictive covenant on the title of the property to ensure that the agreement remains in place.
Riparian Zone
58.8 On any parcel of land where environmental reserve adjacent to the bed and shore of a water body to which the Crown claims ownership and/or which the County deems to present existing or future potential as a public amenity has not previously been dedicated, a minimum building setback of 30 metre (100 feet) is required, measured from the bed and shore of the water body or from an associated water management right-of-way to the proposed building, subject to the discretion of the Development Authority. The purpose of this building setback is to protect the water body and its associated riparian zones as well as the existing and future public access and amenity potential of the water body, regardless of size. Variations in the width of the 30 metre building setback may be accepted based on the recommendations of a qualified professional. As well, a building setback of a lesser width may be considered for minor water features such as unnamed creeks or sloughs.
58.9 If the width of a riparian zone continues beyond the 30 metre building setback or beyond an existing environmental reserve adjacent to the bed and shore of a water body to which the Crown claims ownership and/or which the County deems to present existing or future potential as a public amenity, development that may result in any of the following conditions are not permitted within the remaining width of the riparian zone: (a) excessive removal or tree cover and natural vegetation; (b) restricted public access to the water unless safety factors require this;
County of Stettler No. 6 LAND USE BYLAW No. 1443-10, as amended
(c) deterioration of the water quality or a hindrance of the flow of water; (d) adverse effects on the recreation potential of an area; (e) adverse effects on fish and wildlife habitat; (f) adverse affects on the riparian zones associated with a water body; or (g) adverse effects on the natural amenity or visual quality of an area.
58.10 No vegetation shall be cleared within 30 m (100 ft) of any water body or water course where the removal could have a negative impact on the water body or water course, except if it is done for the purpose of an extensive agricultural operation, public safety or for public road construction.
Public Safety and Nuisance
58.11 The Development Authority may require the setback, buffering and/or screening of a road or a railway corridor or a waste management facility or of any other development that, in the opinion of the Development Authority, has the potential to be reasonably considered a nuisance or of a noxious nature or to be susceptible to adverse impacts from nuisances or noxious land uses as a means to enhance public safety or convenience or to mitigate noise or other annoyances.
58.12 Any new industrial or commercial development or any other development that is deemed by the Development Authority to be a nuisance or of a noxious nature must be located at a distance acceptable to the County from the nearest residence or place of public assembly, unless mitigating measures will be implemented to reduce adverse impacts on such uses.
58.13 A development permit for a use that is deemed by the Development Authority to be incompatible with proposed or existing commercial or industrial development may not be issued and will be directed to a location that does not encroach upon those commercial or industrial developments.
58.14 No subdivision or development will be allowed within the setback distances from a sour gas facility, a gas or oil well, a wastewater treatment facility, a landfill, a hazardous waste management facility or a waste storage site as prescribed in the Subdivision and Development Regulation (Alberta Regulation 43/2002) as amended from time to time, unless the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Subdivision Authority or the Development Authority with a report from a qualified professional that a lesser setback is warranted, and either the Energy Resources Conservation Board gives its approval in writing to a lesser setback or the Deputy Minister of Environment provides written consent to the Development Authority or the Subdivision Authority to vary the applicable setback.
58.15 The Development Authority shall not approve a development permit for a new building larger than 47 m² (506 ft²) or for an addition to an existing building that will, as a result of the addition, become larger than 47 m² (506 ft²), affecting land on which an abandoned oil or gas well may be present, that does not comply with the setback distances described in ERCB Directive 079: Surface Development in Proximity to Abandoned Wells. The Development Authority may approve an addition to an existing building as described above that encroaches upon the setback distances of ERCB Directive 079 only if the well licensee of record recommends and supports a lesser setback distance and provided the development does not further encroach on the abandoned well. Refer to Section 17.3.
County of Stettler No. 6 LAND USE BYLAW No. 1443-10, as amended
58.16 The Subdivision Authority shall not approve a subdivision application affecting land on which an abandoned oil or gas well may be present that does not comply with the setback distances described in ERCB Directive 079: Surface Development in Proximity to Abandoned Wells. An application for a boundary adjustment is exempted from this restriction. Refer to Section 17.3.
58.17 A minimum building setback of 30 m (100 ft) is required from the highest valley break of any named watercourse. In the sole discretion of the Development Authority a setback greater than 30 metres is required where the valley break is that of a riverbank which is higher than 10 metres and where active toe erosion occurs. Lesser setbacks will be considered only when the Development Authority is satisfied by the submission of a geotechnical engineering study prepared by a qualified professional that a lesser setback is warranted.
58.18 A minimum building setback of 30 m (100 ft) is required from the crest or bottom of an escarpment slope or any other steep slope where the grade exceeds 15% or is suspected of being unstable. In the sole discretion of the Development Authority a setback greater than 30 metres is required where the escarpment slope is that of a riverbank which is higher than 10 metres. Lesser setbacks will be considered only when the Development Authority is satisfied by the submission of a geotechnical engineering study prepared by a qualified professional that a lesser setback is warranted.
58.19 Pursuant to Sections 58.17 and 58.18 an applicant for a development permit may be required to submit a slope stability assessment report completed by a qualified professional.
58.20 No vegetation shall be cleared within 30 m (100 ft) of the crest or toe of a slope that is greater than 15% where the removal could have a negative impact on slope stability, except if it is done for the purpose of public safety or for public road construction.
58.21 The Development Authority may require that the applicant for the development permit post a security deposit to the County to ensure that development is carried out in conformity with any recommendations contained in an assessment report regarding engineering and construction measures to make the site suitable for the specific development, and the Development Authority may require the applicant for the specific development permit to enter into a save harmless agreement with the County, relieving the County of responsibility for any damage or loss caused through flooding or subsidence, and further, the County may register a restrictive covenant on the title of the property to ensure that the agreement remains in place.
Infrastructure
58.22 Development shall be set back from a railway corridor, an airport, or a regional utility or energy utility such distance to ensure to the satisfaction of the Development Authority that it does not interfere with the safe operation or future upgrading of this infrastructure.

60. EXCAVATION, GRADING, ALTERING OVERLAND DRAINAGE AND WETLANDS, SURFACE MINERAL EXTRACTION, CONSTRUCTION SITE PREPARATION AND REMOVAL OF TOPSOIL
General
60.1 This Section deals with activities, excluding agricultural operations that do not require a development permit, that may affect topsoil, natural overland drainage, the grading of a site, groundwater or wetlands, that may include but are not limited to the following activities: (a) constructing an artificial water body (e.g. a fish pond); (b) extracting sand, gravel and other surface minerals; (c) preparing a construction site prior to the issuance of a development permit or a subdivision approval, including stockpiling, site grading and pre-loading; and (d) stripping topsoil.
County of Stettler No. 6 LAND USE BYLAW No. 1443-10, as amended
Lot Grading, Stormwater Drainage and Wetlands including for the Purposes of All of What Follows in this Section
60.2 Lots or parcels contained within a subdivision area for which an accepted stormwater management plan and/or subdivision grading plan exist, must be constructed and maintained according to the accepted plans. A landowner may not allow storm water runoff to drain from their lot onto an adjacent lot under separate title except under the following conditions: (a) A current and accepted storm water management plan and/or grading plan to the satisfaction of the Development Authority is in place detailing the overland drainage paths consistent with the proposed grading; and (b) Notwithstanding regulations under the Water Act or other regulatory requirements, the stormwater runoff follows natural overland drainage paths with a “Net Zero” impact on adjacent parcels. This generally applies to existing development areas that have not been subject to an overall grading and stormwater management plan or larger parcels subject to small grading areas that achieve positive drainage away from buildings, driveways or parking areas.
60.3 The Development Authority may require as a condition of a development permit that the applicant submit a lot grading and drainage plan to the County for acceptance. Depending on the circumstance, the submitted plans may require a topographic survey, stormwater and grading design and confirmation of compliance post construction to said design provided by an individual or corporate entity licensed to practice Engineering in Alberta.
60.4 Lot grading that is associated with a proposed development or with a multi-lot subdivision shall conform to the grading plan accepted by the County.
60.5 If a person alters the approved lot drainage on a site so that overland stormwater drains onto adjacent parcels in contravention of the accepted plans, that person and/or the current landowner shall be responsible for corrective measures.
60.6 Any retaining wall over 0.91 m (3.0 ft) in height shall be designed and inspected to confirm compliance of post construction to said design by an individual or corporate entity licensed to practice Engineering in Alberta, at no cost to the County.
60.7 Notwithstanding regulations under the Water Act or other regulatory requirements or permissions, a landowner may not detain or retain stormwater runoff or drain water from naturally occurring wetlands without approval of the County and other regulatory bodies.

SCHEDULE ‘B’: GATEWAY COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
County of Stettler No. 6 LAND USE BYLAW No. 1443-10, as amended
Schedule ‘B’ Gateway Commercial and Industrial Design Guidelines
1.0 Definition of Terms
1) Building Mass means the appearance of heaviness of a building.
2) Crenellations
Crenellations is the name for the distinctive pattern that frames the tops of the walls. Crenellation most commonly takes the form of multiple, regular, rectangular spaces cut out of the top of the wall.
3) Floating Hard Materials means products which are not visually anchored to the ground.
Brick, stone and hard materials must be grounded
4) Glazing
Glazing is a transparent part of a wall, usually made of glass or plastic (acrylic and polycarbonate). Common types of glazing used in architectural applications include clear and tinted float glass, tempered glass, and laminated glass as well as a variety of coated glasses, all of which can be glazed singly or as double, or even triple, glazing units.
5) Human Scale
Human scale means that buildings have been designed explicitly with the needs, constraints and perceptive ability of humans in mind; humans are typically between three and seven feet tall and will climb a few sets of stairs at a time, etc. In the physical construction of human scale architecture it is possible to build buildings that are more desirable to be lived/worked in, which are more maintainable, can be evolved and turned into different uses over time.
County of Stettler No. 6 LAND USE BYLAW No. 1443-10, as amended
6) Major Cladding Materials
Major cladding materials can be Stone, Brick, Stucco, Pre-finished metal sheets which can be used to differentiate as two major cladding materials.
7) Mono slope roof truss
Steel framed mono-slope buildings are used either as a lean to on an existing building; or for very small buildings (less than 15m span) or for locations where wide openings are needed in the side of a long, but thin building. A steel spine truss will go the length of the opening, and the roof will slope up to this spine. Aircraft hangars, port buildings and warehouses are often built as mono-slopes.
County of Stettler No. 6 LAND USE BYLAW No. 1443-10, as amended
8) Parapet
A building parapet consists of a dwarf wall along the edge of a roof, or around a lead flat, terrace walk, etc., to prevent people from falling over the edge. Parapets are either plain, embattled, perforated or panelled. The last two are found in all styles except the Romanesque. Plain parapets are simply portions of the wall generally overhanging a
little, with a coping at the top and corbel table below. Embattled parapets are sometimes panelled, but more often pierced. Perforated parapets are pierced in various devices as circles, trefoils, quatrefoils and other designs so that the light is seen through. Panelled parapets are those ornamented by a series of panels, either oblong or square and more or less enriched, but not perforated. These are common in the Decorated and Perpendicular periods.
9) Primary Colours
Primary colors are sets of colors that can be combined to make a useful range (gamut) of colors. For human applications, three are often used; for additive combination of colors, as in overlapping projected lights or in CRT displays, the primary colors normally used are red, yellow, and blue.
10) Secondary Colours
A secondary color is a color made by mixing two primary colors in a given color space, the secondary colors normally used are orange, green, and purple.
2.0 Introduction
The County of Stettler No. 6 and the Town of Stettler Inter-municipal Development Plan identifies designated growth areas for each municipality, and requires that the two municipalities develop and apply a joint design guideline for development of land in the mixed business areas at the gateway locations. The site and building design guidelines set out in this Guidelines document describe the exterior design requirements for commercial and industrial buildings within the designated gateways as identified in the Inter-municipal Development Plan.
County of Stettler No. 6 LAND USE BYLAW No. 1443-10, as amended
The Guidelines must be read in conjunction with the approving municipality’s Land Use Bylaw, which deals with land use and site development regulations such as setbacks, signage and landscaping. The intent of these Guidelines is to provide landowners, developers, designers and potential investors with the direction of design approach that is intended for various developments.
These design Guidelines concern the position of buildings and utility areas on sites, the proportion, scale and massing of building forms, the application of materials and colours to exterior walls and roofs, the choice and location of windows and doors and the role of landscaping in all of these considerations.
3.0 Application of the Guidelines
These Guidelines apply to any commercial or industrial type development permit application in any land use district that allows these types of developments on land that is located within a designated County growth area in the County of Stettler No. 6 and Town of Stettler Inter-municipal Development Plan.
All commercial and industrial development projects located as described above must comply with these Guidelines. More specifically, those developments located adjacent to or prominently visible from a highway, as determined by the approving municipality’s Development Authority, must meet all the listed requirements. Those developments not adjacent to or prominently visible from a highway may have the guidelines reduced as per discussions with the Development Authority. The approving municipality’s Development Authority will review development permit applications for compliance with these Guidelines and may approve a development permit with variances from these Guidelines, subject to the referral policies of the Inter-municipal Development Plan.
The design Guidelines for commercial buildings apply to the use of the building, not the land use district, and therefore may apply to projects in industrial land use districts, for example an office building, a food and beverage service facility or a commercial recreation building that is located on industrial premises. Prior to designing the project the developer must determine from the approving municipality whether the proposed development is deemed to be a commercial or industrial building.
The approving municipality’s Land Use Bylaw prescribes the format and content of the development permit application and the landscaping plan.
It is highly recommended that all new projects are reviewed with the principles of CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) in mind, to ensure that all new projects are developed in a safe and respectful manner. The approving municipality’s Development Authority will review project designs for CPTED compliance.
It is further required that all developments that are subject to these Guidelines comply with the latest edition of the Alberta or National Building Code for site accessibility standards, as well as the latest edition of The Canadian Standards Association “Accessible design for the built environment”.
County of Stettler No. 6 LAND USE BYLAW No. 1443-10, as amended
4.0 Commercial Site and Building Design Guidelines
4.1 Site planning
Intent: To ensure that any development is located on a site in such a manner as to enhance the overall development and provide a unified connection to the surrounding buildings.
4.1.1 Except when a development along Highway 12 or Highway 56 backs onto the highway, the main entry of the building must face the main access road and be prominently visible upon entering the site. The main entry is not permitted to be visually blocked by the storage or display of sale products.
4.1.2 When a development along Highway 12 or Highway 56 backs onto the highway, the main entry of the building must face the highway and be prominently visible to the public travelling along the highway. The main entry is not permitted to be visually blocked by the storage or display of sale products.
Example of good siting
4.1.3 Buildings must be sited in such a location to provide open space between the building and adjacent streets and/or on-site parking lots for the purpose of landscaping. This open space area is to be equal to or exceeding the minimum required setback for the development as prescribed in the approving municipality’s Land Use Bylaw. This landscaped area is not to be used for the display of sale products or for waste disposal or other utility areas, unless these are screened pursuant to Section 4.1.5.
County of Stettler No. 6 LAND USE BYLAW No. 1443-10, as amended
4.1.4 Provision for on-site parking and loading must meet the requirements of the approving municipality’s Land Use Bylaw. 4.1.4.1 On-site parking lots and loading areas when visible from an adjacent street or when used by clients should be effectively landscaped or strategically screened to break up the view and mass of them. 4.1.4.2 Curbing should be used to separate all on-site parking lots and loading areas from landscaped areas.
4.1.5 All utility areas (e.g. outdoor storage, waste disposal, building equipment such as heating and cooling, etc.) visible from an adjacent street or an on-site client parking lot must be enclosed with screening, or be otherwise designed or treated to the satisfaction of the approving municipality’s Development Authority, to match the overall design of the development.
4.1.6 All on-site lighting, including those in on-site parking lots, must be down lighting; the use of fixtures projecting light upwards is not permitted.
4.2 Site Landscaping and Fencing

5.3.6.2 The ideal ratio for defining the roofline is 8:1. For example, if the building height is 12’-0” the roofline should be 1’-6”.
5.3.6.3 The painting of the exterior siding is not permitted to define the roofline.
5.3.6.4 Mono slope roof trusses are discouraged.

Building signage (including business signs, usage signs and directional signs) must be integrated with the building façade. 5.3.10 The use of true primary and secondary colours is not permitted as the main field colour or roofing colour and must only be used as accent colouring. 5.3.10.1 All colours are to be approved by the approving municipality’s Development Authority. It is recommended to submit true colour samples for approval to the Development Authority.

August 14 Council Meeting
Shallow Gas Producers – Property Tax Relief As you are aware on July 2, 2019, Reeve Clarke and I attended a meeting at the Legislature with the Honourable Kaycee Madu, Minister of Municipal Affairs, RMA President Al Kemmere, respective staffs and representatives from most of the 15 municipalities adversely affected by current financial struggles of Shallow Gas Companies. The 15 municipalities are Cypress County, County of Newell, Special Areas Board, Wheatland County, Kneehill County, Red Deer County, Lacombe County, Rocky View County, Vulcan County, County of Stettler No. 6, Starland County, County of Forty Mile No. 8, Ponoka County, Mountain View County and Camrose County.
Minister Madu requested that each of the 15 Municipalities reduce the total 2019 Property Tax bill to qualifying shallow gas well and pipeline companies by 35%. For the 2019 year this loss of revenue will be off-set by Education Property Tax Credit given back to each Municipality. No commitment was made to off-set this loss of revenue going forward in 2020 and succeeding years.
On the week of July 8, 2019, we received a list from Municipal Affairs identifying the qualifying shallow gas wells and pipelines and the respective companies. Qualifying companies have wells up to 500 meters deep. Upon review of our tax rolls, the County of Stettler will be refunding back approximately $986,666.00.
On July 16, 2019 I participated in a conference call with Reeve Clarke, Tax Clerk Sharon Larsen, the RMA and representatives from the 15 municipalities. Discussion entailed regarding refund amounts, future implications, fairness to other struggling Oil and Gas Companies, Municipal participation and the need for a subsequent meeting.
On August 21, 2019, Reeve Clarke and I will be attending a meeting in Three Hills from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM along with Reeves and CAO’s from the other 14 municipalities for further discussion.

We are still waiting to hear when the appraiser will come to look at the damaged fleet and equipment. • The fire truck that was damaged on June 1, 2019 has been repaired and is back in service, with invoicing sent up to Priddle and Gibbs for payment. • Had a break in at the Public Works facility during the long weekend in August, with some gasoline being stolen, fence and door damage. A claim will only be started if the repairs will be over our $5000.00 deductible. • Working on the annual insurance renewal process for the County of Stettler property, auto and heavy equipment policies. • The audit requirements have been completed for RMA, which will allow us to receive 2% of our insurance premiums move into our Risk Pro Account.

Town and Country Museum
The July 15 meeting of the Town and Country Museum was held at the Masonic Hall in Stettler. The Masons have disbanded in Stettler and have asked if the museum would like to have the hall at the museum if it could be moved at no cost tot the museum. They have some funds and would also include the receipt from the sale of the property to offset costs to move the hall. Some of the concerns were : costs of moving including power line passage , whether or not there is a presence of asbestos, and also the cost of footings or basement at the museum site. It was decided that we would start with an asbestos check. A committee was struck to check out these costs. There were 620 plus visitors to the museum on July 1st. with $657 profit from hamburger sales. There has been ongoing cleanup and repair and some difficulty with the retention of summer staff. The next meeting will be in September unless the chair calls a special meeting to asses the Masonic Hall.

Dear Reeve and Councillors of Stettler County
Four years ago, my family travelled throughout our beautiful province called Alberta. We all know it is beautiful in diversity and views. One problem that was very noticeable to us were al those dilapidated, ugly, run-down trailers with advertising on them along all major highways in Alberta. Looking at them from a tourist’s perspective was disgusting to say the least, especially for the town or city one is entering. The first impression is a lasting impression according to one of the well-know sayings. And, they were not very positive. I decided to check into this issue a little further. Four years ago, I contacted Mr. Brian Mason, the minister of Highways, with the previous NDP government. They replied quickly with a letter explaining that all those trailers with advertising on them were “illegal” and that they would check into the issue. Have not heard anything since and little or nothing was done from what we see driving around. Just lately, however, local newspapers have published articles regarding this issue: 1. On July 13th, 2019 Ken Alfred, a former St. Albert Alderman and MLA wrote in the Edmonton Journal : “Clear the roadsides of distracting billboards and trailers” They are a blot on the otherwise serene landscape of Alberta 2. On February 13th, 2019, the Western Wheel published an article: “County of Foothills is taking on trailer billboards” They counted around 40 in their district. Letters were sent out to the owners with the additional fines of up to $ 10000 for not removing the signs. 3. On February 106h 2019 a similar article appeared in the OkotoksTODAY.ca newspaper 4. On August 12. 2015 An article was published saying that the Local counties were concerned about “Farm Field “ Ads. MR Nelson , the Leduc County director of enforcement claims that these trailers are NOT ALLOWED according to the Land Use Bylaw. He stated that the counties of Wetaskiwin are in a similar situation Mr Blades from Wetaskiwin called the trailers: “rusting hulks” He claims that the Provincial Government appears to be downloading their problem onto the local municipalities. Many citizens and politicians are now getting more concerned and are working on to resolve this issue. A few days ago I personally sent a letter to the present Alberta Government asking them one specific question: “Is it illegal to advertise on trailers along Alberta Highways”? We receiver a reply within a day and yes, they again mentioned that they are illegal. We have attached a copy of their reply to this email.
I personally am contacting many Councillors from various major Counties in Alberta asking them, together with Alberta Transportation to put an end to these ugly dilapidated and illegal roadsigns” “Lets make Alberta beautiful again” I personally thank each one of you for doing your parti in solving this issue

**********please do not reply THIS EMAIL ADDRESS IS NOT MONITORED ********** Thank you for visiting the Alberta Government feedback web site. Following is the response to your question prepared by Transportation :
Signs along highways are considered to be highway developments; as such, they are regulated by the Highway Development and Protection Act and its associated regulations. Under the Act, Alberta Transportation is responsible for signs within the right of way of provincial highways. The Act also gives Alberta Transportation authority to manage signs within the development control zone outside the provincial highway rights of way (development control zones extend 300 metres from a right of way boundary and 800 metres from the centre of provincial highway intersections with other public roads). The Act prohibits advertisement signs in the highway development control zone along major highways in rural municipalities. However, minor low-traffic highways are exempt from these rules; rural municipalities can issue permits for signs along these highways. Additionally, urban municipalities have the authority to control signage within their corporate limits adjacent to provincial highways, with the exception that the signs should not cause safety concerns for the travelling public. Alberta Transportation’s guidelines for allowable signs balance the need for highway users to identify services and locations of interest with the need prevent undue distractions to drivers. It is likely that many of the signs you see do not comply with Alberta Transportation’s guidelines and have not received a permit. Management of non-permitted signs is an on-going issue with .AlbertTransportation and our stakeholders continue to develop plans to address this issue.
