REASONS:

INFORMATIVE

(a) Since the proposed subdivision complies with Section 663(a) of the Municipal Government Act, Reserve is not required. (b) That a legal description for the proposed parcel be approved by the Surveys Branch, Land Titles Office, Calgary. (c) The applicant/owner is advised that other municipal, provincial or federal government or agency approvals may be required as they relate to the subdivision and the applicant/owner is responsible for verifying and obtaining any other approval, permit, authorization, consent or license that may be required to subdivide, develop and/or service the affected land (this may include but is not limited to Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development, Alberta Transportation, and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.) (d) TELUS Communications has no objection to the proposed subdivision. Provisioning of telephone service for the proposed subdivision will be considered upon application of same.

(g) Alberta Health Services advises that after a review of the information provided and an on-site inspection, this office has the following comments: • We do not foresee a Public Health Nuisance being created as a result of the above noted subdivision provided that the applicant complies with all pertinent regulations, by-laws, and standards. • We recommend the Developer/Owner provide verification to the approving authority that there is sufficient and approved water allocation for the proposed development. (h) Alberta Transportation submitted the following: “Reference your file to create an agricultural parcel at the above noted location. The department’s primary objective is to allow subdivision and development of adjacent properties in a manner that will not compromise the integrity and associated safe operational use or the future expansion of the provincial highway system. To that end, the proposal is to continue using the parcel to be created and the remnant lands for agricultural purposes. As such, this application is in accordance with Section 14(a) of the Subdivision and Development Regulation, being Alberta Regulation 43/2002 (“the regulation”). Resultant of the fact that this application complies with said Section 14(a) and access to the proposed parcel and the remnant lands is to be by a means other than a highway, Section 15(3) of the regulation applies. Notwithstanding that Section 15(3) applies, the applicant is advised that no direct access to the highway will be allowed as a result of this application. The applicant would also be advised that any development within the right-of-way or within 300 meters beyond the limit of the highway (501) or within 800 meters from the center point of the intersection of the highway (501) and another highway would require the benefit of a permit from our department. This requirement is outlined in the Highways Development and Protection Regulation, being Alberta Regulation 326/2009. The subject property is within the noted control lines and as such any development would require the benefit of a permit from our department. To ensure that any future highway expansion plans are not unduly compromised, minimum setbacks would be identified and invoked as condition of approval such that an adequate buffer would be maintained alongside the highway and any other highway related issues could be appropriately addressed. The applicant could contact the department through the undersigned, at Lethbridge 403/381- 5426, in this regard. The department accepts no responsibility for the noise impact of highway traffic upon any development or occupants thereof. Noise impact and the need for attenuation should be thoroughly assessed. The applicant is advised that provisions for noise attenuation are the sole responsibility of the developer and should be incorporated as required into the subdivision/development design. Any peripheral lighting (yard lights/area lighting) that may be considered a distraction to the motoring public or deemed to create a traffic hazard will not be permitted.

Further, should the approval authority receive any appeals in regard to this application and as per Section 678(2.1) of the Municipal Government Act and Section 5(5)(d) of the regulation, Alberta Transportation (AT) agrees to waive the referral distance for this particular subdivision application. As far as AT is concerned an appeal of this subdivision application may be heard by the local Subdivision and Development Appeal Board provided that no other provincial agency is involved in the application.” (i) Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) are attached. Carried

3.2. File No. 2014-0-137 Landowner: Mac & Loretta Reeder Description: SW 25-1-26-4

The Oldman River Regional Services Commission is in receipt of a subdivision application from Mr. & Mrs. Mac Reeder, on the above described land.

This proposal would subdivide an existing 139.80 acre parcel to create three parcels of 9.30, 26.94 and a 103.94 acre residual title. The quarter section had previously been subdivided as part of the Highway No. 2 realignment in the 1970's. An access right-of-way is proposed to provide access to the interior parcels being created. Municipal Reserve is applicable in this instance.

Moved by: Reeve Fred Lacey to defer this item to the November Municipal Planning Commission. Carried

3.3. File No: 2014-0-143 Landowner: Daryl & Ruta Kiemele Description: Lot 3, Block 1, Plan 0812576 within SW 10-1- 27-4

The Oldman River Regional Services Commission is in receipt of a subdivision application from Mr. & Mrs. Daryl Kiemele, on the above described lands.

The proposal represents a re-alignment of a similar subdivision which was refused in 2002 by Cardston County. The intent of this application is to obtain title to a piece of property which is severed by Lee Creek amounting to approximately 1.22 acres for recreational use. The present owner wished to create this parcel for sale to a prospective buyer who proposed to use this site for camping for about three months of the calendar year.

Moved by: Councillor Broyce Jacobs that the country residential/recreational subdivision applied for of Lot 3, Block 1, Plan 0812576 lying in the SW1/4 10-1-27-W4M to create a 1.22 acre parcel from a titled area comprising 32.02 acres (C. of T. 081 188 382); BE APPROVED subject to the following:

Page 4 of 12 Cardston County Municipal Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Monday, October 27, 2014

RESERVE: The 10% reserve requirement, pursuant to Sections 666 and 667 of the Municipal Government Act be provided as money in place of land on the 1.22 acres at the market value of $2750.00 per acre with the actual acreage and amount to be paid to Cardston County to be determined at the final stage, for Municipal Reserve Purposes. The 10% reserve requirement, pursuant to Sections 669(2) and (3) of the Municipal Government Act, on the 30.66 acres be deferred by caveat for Municipal Reserve purposes.

CONDITIONS:

1. That, pursuant to Section 654(1)(d) of the Municipal Government Act, all outstanding property taxes shall be paid to the Cardston County. 2. That, pursuant to Section 655(1)(b) of the Municipal Government Act, the applicant or owner or both enter into a Development Agreement with the Cardston County which shall be registered concurrently with the final plan against the title(s) being created. 3. Any conditions of TELUS shall be met prior to finalization of the subdivision. 4. That a conservation easement be registered concurrently with the final plan pursuant to the Conservation Easement Registration Regulation AR 129/2010.

REASONS:

1. The Subdivision Authority is satisfied that the proposed subdivision is suitable for the purpose for which the subdivision is intended pursuant to Section 7 of the Subdivision and Development Regulation. 2. The Subdivision Approval Authority of Cardston County has determined the proposed subdivision complies with the Land Use Bylaw and the policies of the Municipal Development Plan. INFORMATIVE (a) The 10% Reserve requirement shall be provided as money in place of land on the 1.22 acre parcel and deferred by caveat on the 30.66 acre parcel being created by this subdivision. (b) That a legal description for the proposed parcel be approved by the Surveys Branch, Land Titles Office, Calgary. (c) The applicant/owner is advised that other municipal, provincial or federal government or agency approvals may be required as they relate to the subdivision and the applicant/owner is responsible for verifying and obtaining any other approval, permit, authorization, consent or license that may be required to subdivide, develop and/or service the affected land (this may include but is not limited to Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development, Alberta Transportation, and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.) (d) The Council of Cardston County established the market value of the land at $2750.00 per acre; this value will be applied when the Subdivision Authority determines reserve requirements. (e) TELUS Communications has concerns with the proposed subdivision as there are existing TELUS facilities at the subdivision location. TELUS requirements are as follows:

Page 5 of 12 Cardston County Municipal Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Monday, October 27, 2014

1. Subdivision applicant to locate the existing TELUS facilities on property. Send locate documents and plan showing location of TELUS facilities on or near property to [email protected] 2. The plan noted above will be reviewed by TELUS to determine if our facilities will cross new property lines. If so, the subdivision applicant must provide a registered utility easement, for all locations where TELUS facilities cross new property lines. As an alternative to registering an easement, the subdivision applicant may request that TELUS reroute or replace existing facilities that cross newly created property lines. However, all costs incurred by TELUS Communications for relocation or rearrangement of existing facilities shall be wholly borne by the Owner/Developer. Custom work labor rates shall apply. 3. If existing facilities do not cross new property lines, TELUS will approve the application. Copies of the registration are to be forwarded to: TELUS Rights of Way Department 10th Floor, 10035 102 Ave NW. Edmonton, AB T5J 0E5 1-866-774-7002 In the event that TELUS Communications is required to obtain and register the required easement(s) on behalf of the Subdivision Applicant, all labor costs and applicable fees shall be wholly borne by the Owner/Developer. Custom work labor rates shall apply. For more information, contact: Kevin Wittke; Phone 403-382-2355 ; Email: [email protected] (f) Chief Mountain Gas Co-op has no objection to the subdivision “as long as our Utility Right of Way remains on title. Also, that any relocating of lines requested by the owner because of this subdivision will be at the owners cost. All contracts for gas service will be supplied as needed and at owners cost. If this subdivision splits a gas contract that serves two homes a new contract will have to be purchased by the owner. As a condition of subdivision, we request that a service Agreement be signed by the Applicant prior to subdivision finalization.” (g) Alberta Health Services advises that they have reviewed the information provided, conducted an on-site inspection, and wish to provide the following comments: • The property appears to be in the low lying flood plain of Lee Creek. • Lee Creek is used as a source of water for a number of drinking water systems. • We do not recommend increased development in an area that is access via “fording” a water body used as a drinking water source. • We do not recommend locating sewage systems, grey water disposal or holdi8ng tanks in flood fringe areas. • Once subdivided the lot will/may not be capable of supporting an onsite septic system and water well in perpetuity. • We recommend the approving authority follow The Model Process for Subdivision Approval and Private Sewage document created by the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties. • We foresee a long term Public Health Nuisance being created as a result of the above noted subdivision. • If approved, we recommend the developer/owner provide verification to the approving authority that there is sufficient and approved water allocation.

(h) Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) comments are attached. (i) Adjacent landowner Harold Kearl, President of Grandview Holdings Ltd., submitted the following: “Grandview Holdings Ltd. has serious concerns about the proposed subdivision. To create a recreation area will increase uncontrolled traffic in a small area. Problems will rise such as garbage disposal and parking. Trees will be cut, clearings will be made on site and there will be pollution and misuse of Lees Creek in a confined area. The Pioneer Dug way Road up Lees Creek to the Rangers cabin (now the community pasture) should be closed. Heavy trucks and RV units have destroyed this once beautiful trail. Your proposed recreational area of 1.22 acres could only magnify and increase problems for all concerned. Finally, Lees Creek erosion and watershed problems already exist in this area. Grandview Holdings Ltd. will oppose and vote against reclassification of 1.22 acres of land as recreational.” (j) Adjacent landowners James B. and Sharron Gillette submitted the following: “This piece of land joins onto our property (lot 1) on its southern border. The portion of this property to the east of Lee Creek is unusable as it is on the side of a cliff. The portion across the creek that could be used for a campground is in a flood plain. The spring runoff of Lee Creek in our area can be very significant when there is heavy snow pack in the mountains. We have seen the water cover the low lying areas around this property which also included portions of the property. We have also seen where the force of the runoff has carved out new water routes removing existing banks and huge evergreens. This last spring the course of Lee Creek has changed in several spots due to the heavy runoff. This is not uncommon. A campground or development that borders the creek anywhere along its banks, that is not on very elevated ground and well set back is in potential danger and has the possibility of being swept away. We need only remind you of High River and that run off. Because of our soil composition, Lee Creek is constantly carving out new routes along its course when the run off is high. Portions of this particular property has been and, also, has the potential of being carved out, if not completely flooded, during one of these run off times. As neighbors we refuse to build anything on our property in the area that adjoins Mr. Kiemele’s property due to these concerns. To access this property one has to ford the creek. Often we have been called upon to pull vehicles out of the creek after they tried to cross to Pole Haven. Only a few years ago Mr. Kiemele put a gate across the road leading to Lee Creek and this property, partially because of the annoyance he was experiencing with people trying to cross the creek and getting stuck. Mr. Kiemele expressed to us he was tired of pulling people out of the creek and having to clean up the trash they left behind: cans, feces, etc. After he removed the gate we experienced the same problems as Mr. Kiemele as well as fence posts being ripped out and used for firewood, drunkenness, sexual activity (sound carries very easily in our area!) cutting fences and not closing gates so cattle get loose, riding quads all over our property including our garden. Also in our community we have experience out neighbor’s homes being broken into and vandalized.

Page 7 of 12 Cardston County Municipal Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Monday, October 27, 2014

We understand opposing this one campground will not solve all these problems, as they already exist; however, every campground and recreational property that is approved compounds the existing problems. These types of properties provide the facilities to bring more people into our area only for recreational purposed, increasing the burden on the adjoining landowners. We also realize these issues may not be a concern to ORRSC but they are significant to the permanent landowners. When recreational and/or commercial establishments come into our area the quality of life we enjoy is diminished as well as the desirability and value of our land. As a community we welcome persons who purchase the available 5 or more acre parcels to build permanent or summer homes for their own use and who take care of their property and supervise their guests. These are the type of neighbors who enhance our community – not campgrounds and recreational areas. We invite Mr. Kiemele’s prospective buyer to consider this course of action if he desires to live in our area – not a campground. In conclusion, we oppose the application file No. 2014-0-143 on the basis discussed but mostly because the property is in a flood area. Human occupation of this property is fraught with problems – even danger. The refusal in 2002 to approve a similar subdivision was wise and should be upheld. Carried

3.4. File No.: 2014-0-151 Landowner: Steven & Darilyn Quinton Description: Lots 1-4, Block 1, Plan 1011263 within SE 32-2- 25-4

Please direct any additional questions or concerns to [email protected] (g) ATCO Gas has no objections to the proposed subdivision. (h) Chief Mountain Gas Co-op has no objection to the subdivision “as long as our Utility Right of Way remains on title. Also, that any relocating of lines requested by the owner because of this subdivision will be at the owners cost. All contracts for gas service will be supplied as needed and at owners cost. If this subdivision splits a gas contract that serves two homes a new contract will have to be purchased by the owner. As a condition of subdivision, we request that a service Agreement be signed by the Applicant prior to subdivision finalization.” (i) Alberta Health Services advises that they have reviewed the information provided, conducted an on-site inspection and wish to provide the following comments: • The potential lots are not serviced by Municipal sewage or water systems. • To avoid the possible spread of diseases and promote a healthy population, properties with no municipal infrastructure should be developed so that potable drinking water and onsite sewerage disposal are easily obtainable and maintainable. Small lots will not allow this in perpetuity. • We recommend the approving authority follow The Model Process for Subdivision Approval and Private Sewage document created by the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties. • We recommend each lot have access to a legal source of water in perpetuity (including all easements, licenses and approvals) Page 10 of 12 Cardston County Municipal Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Monday, October 27, 2014

• We recommend the approving authority request verification that there is sufficient and approved legal water allocation for the proposed developments. • The proposed residential dwellings are in close proximity to an intensive livestock operation, substantially increasing the likelihood of disease transfer between animals and humans. • Failed private sewage disposal systems and unmaintained livestock operations allow fecal contaminates loaded with pathogenic organisms to pool on the ground and contaminate the surrounding area. Children, animals, and members of the general public who come in contact with these contaminants may be at significant risk of contracting various diseases. • Most municipal governments in western Canada recognize and have encountered the problems created by un-serviced small properties. Many of today’s water, sewerage and land use problems are due to yesterday’s improper planning or lack of planning. We foresee the possibility of creating long term Public Health nuisances if properties are allowed to develop without consideration for; • Adequate provisions of suitable land for onsite sewage disposal with a reserve area, • A legal access to water • The provision of potable water • Adequate provisions of suitable setbacks with conflicting land uses. (j) The Board of Directors of the Aetna Irrigation District (AID) approve the application for the subdivision of Lots 1 to 4, Block 1, Plan 1011263 within SE1/4 32-2-25-W4M subject to the following conditions: 1) Any outstanding Irrigation District charges or fees be paid to the Aetna Irrigation District. 2) Upon completion of subdivision the 66.8 irrigation acres currently assigned to Lot 4 and the 1 irrigation acre assigned to Lot 3 shall be transferred as follows: 23 irrigation acres to be assigned to the proposed “remainder of title in Lot 4, Block 1 (23.06 Acres)”, 44.8 acres to be assigned to the proposed “remainder of title in Lot 3, Block 1 (63.80 Acres)”. 3) The AID shall only serve one (1) point-of-delivery (POD) for water conveyed by the AID. The existing POD will be the only POD served by the AID, unless the applicant pays the costs of relocating that one (1) POD to a new location. (4) There will be no irrigation acres assigned to any of the proposed lots 5 through 16. The subdivision applicant or any future land owner either before or after the subdivision is granted. Any costs to service the parcel with water delivery under a Rural Residential water agreement would be the responsibility of the applicant. (5) The AID shall continue to exercise all of its rights under Section 184(2) of the Irrigation Districts Act (IDA) and regulations to operate, maintain, replace and otherwise use the irrigation works existing in the Proposed Subdivision, and (6) No development shall occur on the Proposed Subdivision within 30 meters of the AID’s irrigation works without the written consent of the AID.
