NW1/4 36-47-04-W5M (CONTAINING 5.75 HA (14.19 AC) MORE OR LESS) (HAMLET OF BUCK CREEK) APPL / OWNERS: EDWARD AND KATHLEEN BURTON FROM HAMLET RESIDENTIAL (HR) TO AGRICULTURAL B (AG B) ML RECOMMENDATION: Option A - Given that the Municipal District of Brazeau No. 77 followed due process to establish the Hamlet zoning in 1990 created the Land Use Bylaw 109-90, it is recommended the zoning application not be considered at this time. Option B- That Council grant first reading to proposed Bylaw #384-2000 to redesignate a portion of the NW % 36-47-7-W5M from Hamlet Residential to Agricultural B and the Hamlet Boundary of Buck Creek be changed not to include this 14.19-acre parcel. Also, a scheduled time to be set for a Public Hearing sp) at the September 14, 2000 Council meeting. BACKGROUND p INFORMATION: Application to Redistrict 14.19 acres being Pt. of NW Va 36-47-7- W5M from Hamlet Residential (HR) to Agricultural B (AG B) District. Mr. and Mrs. Burton acquired the subject property based on the understanding from the previous landowner that the lands were zoned Agriculture. The Burton's are desirous of establishing a Kennel facility on the subject lands and are unable to do so with the current zoning in place. Hamlets within the Municipal District do not allow for Kennels, jpi therefore redesignation or introduction of such a use is requested. Previously under the jurisdiction of Leduc County (as far as can be determined from past records) the lands were excluded from the Hamlet Boundary and were designated Agriculture. In November 1990, the Municipal District of Brazeau No. 77 adopted its Land Use Bylaw showing this Pt. of the Va in the Hamlet Boundary and accordingly the lands were designated Hamlet Residential. l 1 Copy of ReceiptofApplication Fee. Proposed Bylaw 384-2000 and Schedule "A". Last year, the Municipal District enforced the Hamlet zoning to remove a Horse. This resulted from a neighbors written complaint. Section49(2) is applicable to this application. HISTORY: 1954, Plan of Survey created for BuckCreek 1962, 14.19 acre parcel described by metes and bounds parcel was f created from NW % (Burton Parcel) 1983, Leduc County adopted Land Use Bylaw- Hamlet boundary did not includethis 14.19 acre parcel. Leduc County does not possess any records ofamending the Hamlet boundary from 1983 to the date the Improvement District received jurisdiction of the lands. p? 1990, Municipal District of Brazeau adopted Land Use Bylaw - Hamlet boundary did include this 14.19 acre parcel. Four (4) public hearings at various community halls were held in respect of the Land Use Bylaw. In 1993, Buck Creek Area Structure Plan was adopted. Again, these lands formed part of the Hamlet for residential development as p determined to the Future Land Use Concept and Development Staging. It is suggested that the Future Land Use Concept remain that ofresidential use and therefore no amendment is to be made to Buck Creek Area Structure Plan Bylaw No, 172-92 Faxed documentation from Municipal Affairs indicates that the Hamlet boundary was never changed by the County of Leduc to include this parcel. pi pi pi w\ - MUNICIPAL DISTRICT OF BRAZEAU NO. 77 J APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT TO THE LAND USE BY-LAW NO. 109-90 p I/WE MAKE APPLICATION TO AMEND THE LANDUSE BY-LAW APPLICANT t Name: J^rJ^C^r-A ^^K/\-fhyJ v\s> ^r+QV^ Address: T^O vf 11I Name: Address: Telephone: business, DESCRIPTION OF LAND Parcel/Lot Block Plan Name of Subdivision /-frfriWcT* &T ^S><^tK CfE£N*.

SchoolWorksI Inc. is re-releasing the 1999Top200 Failing Alberta Schools list that was previously provided to the public in October 1999. We are anticipating that manyofthese schools will evidence the same failing patterns pending the release ofthe 2000testing results in August. The long-term information will provide B) parents and communities with sufficient justification to insist upon fundamental changes in how students are I being taught inthese schools. ? It iscritical that parents and concerned citizens attend the initial September school council meetings and P collectively demand thattheir children be provided with successful educational programs. Parents needto be actively involved in establishing monitoring proceduresto ensure that their schools provideprograms that allow each child to learn and experience success. * ? Toestablish thefoundation for thesuccessful monitoring ofschool programs, parents will collectively and cooperatively have to do the following: 1. If the present council has a "representative" model ofdecision-making, parents have to directly changethe ** structure toa "town hall" assembly model by means ofa motion as defined in theschool councils' regulations. This will provide each parent with a vote onschool council. The town hall model gives parents more power and encourages greater participation as opposed to the "representative" model, which concentrates decision making powerinthe hands oftoo few people. F 2. Open discussions will be necessary tounderstand the reasons for the high failure rates and todevelop the collective will to self-manage the improvement process. 3. As early as possible, inthe new school year, the school council will obtain (byway of a motion) from the school educators the school plan outlining: p (a)an explanation for high failure rates, (b) a detailed plan on how to stop school failure, and (c) how it is that parents will be informed as to the progress of the plan. w ? The provincial testing results are the primaryindicators by which the Alberta government and school districts measure the effectiveness of school programs. Parents and communities, through their school councils, can L utilize thesestandards to begin immediately demanding better educational programs for their children. School councils are the key democratic vehicles by which parents and citizens can take direct control ofboth their n schools and their children's education. * ? "Since school councils are mandated by law wewanted to ensure thattheyare working well and are having a positive impact on our learning system."

Background: • OTTAWA, July 26, 2000 - In response to calls by FCM for investment in a Quality of Life Infrastructure Program, Ottawa committed $2.05 billion over six years for a new national program. The federal budget announcement stressed equal participation by the three orders of government. The new program is only a first step towards meeting the requirements identified by FCM: an annual federal investment of $3 billion for municipal infrastructure is needed, with separate investments for transportation and affordable housing. "Green infrastructure", contributing to national goals ofclean air and clean water, is a primary focus ofthe new program, called Infrastructure Canada. Secondarygoals are: • local transportation (roads and transit systems); • affordable housing; • culture, tourism and recreation; and • rural and remote telecommunications facilities. With these priorities in mind, municipal governments should assess their infrastructure needs now and select suitable projects. The six-year Infrastructure Canada • program will allow funding oflonger-term projects and new project proposals each year. 2. Current Status: The federal and provincial/territorial governments are currently negotiating agreements that will determine the criteria and management structure for the Infrastructure Canada program in each region. Some agreements could be signed at the meeting of the First Ministers on September 12, 2000. FCM, in partnership with member provincial/territorial associations of municipalities, continues to impress upon other orders of government the importance of having a municipally-driven program, with municipal participation in project selection and r program management. 3. Funding Allocations: FCM staff meet regularly with the Treasury Board officials responsible for designing and managing the program. After agreements have been reached with the provinces and territories, $100 million will be available for municipal projects in fiscal year 2000-2001, $350 million in 2001 - 2002, and $400 million per year in the final four years. Afurther $600 million is provided for bipartite (federal and provincial/territorial) highway projects. By Cabinet decision, the funds are allocated onthe basis of population and unemployment rate: ...12 37 ATTENTION: 3S\ Province/ Territory Funding ($ million) % of Total Funding British Columbia 268.5 13.8 Alberta 171.0 8.8 Saskatchewan 56.7 2.9 Manitoba 61.0 3.1 Ontario 680.0 35.0 Quebec 515.0 26.5 New Brunswick 54.4 2.8 (pi Prince Edward Island 12.8 0.7 I Nova Scotia 65.2 3.4 Newfoundland and 51.2 2.6 Labrador Yukon 2.4 0.1 Northwest Territories 3.0 0.2 Nunavut 2.1 0.1 CANADA 1,943.3 100 First Nations receive $31.1 million, and 3 percent ofthe program funds will pay for federal administration costs. 4. FCM Green Municipal Funds; Infrastructure Canada is distinct from the $100-million Green Municipal Investment Fund (GMIF) and the $25-million Green Municipal Enabling Fund (GMEF) managed by FCM. The Green Municipal Funds are designed to encourage advances in environmental technology and innovation. Experience gained with support from GMIF/GMEF can be applied to Infrastructure Canada projects. Details on the Funds are on FCM'sweb site at www.fcm.ca. 5. Guide to Sustainable Municipal Infrastructure: Innovations and Best Practices FCM and the National Research Council of Canada are partners in the development ofthe Guide to Sustainable Municipal Infrastructure. The Guide will be a decision-making and investment planning tool as well as a compendium ofbest practices. Funding for a first phase is expected in September 2000 through Infrastructure Canada. This phase will focus on management tools and on technical modules for water and wastewater infrastructure. P 6. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Do all provinces/territories have to reach agreements before the program can proceed? A: No. As soon as an agreement is signed and the management structure is established ina province/territory, the program can begin in that jurisdiction. ^1 Q: Will recreational facilities be included in the newprogram? A: Yes. Recreational projects should enhance community economic development, and projects that benefit several communities within a region could begiven priority. Q: Can municipalities submit projects now, using the same application procedures and forms used in the CanadaInfrastructure Works Program (CIWP)? A: No. Treasury Board statesthatthis is a completely new program.

To be accepted, however, the project start date must occur ^ after approval by the Funds. The Council has not yet determined funding limits. As a general rule, however, requests for up to $100,000 will be » accepted by GMEF; loan requests for up to $1 million will be accepted by ! GMIF; a limit has not yet been set for grants for pilot projects. p GMEF supports up to half the cost of feasibility studies that assess the technical, engineering, environmental and/or economic viability of proposed projects. GMIF provides interest-bearing loans, loan guarantees and grants for a portion of the capital costs of projects [F (generally 15 per cent). i The Funds have been established to support excellence in r municipal environmental performance, particularly in energy or process efficiency in municipal buildings, and water, wastewater, solid waste management and public transit systems. Project proposals must demonstrate best practice and innovation and generate, for p example, up to 50 per cent improvement in environmental _ performance from the current situation. p Project proposals can be rejected for two reasons: the project j, does not meet criteria or the Funds have reached an annual ^ disbursement cap. In both cases, staff will work with applicants to determine options for resubmitting in subsequent submission periods. P While best efforts will be made to meet demand, it must be noted that [ funds are limited and that not all applicants will be supported. Municipal governments should also keep in mindthat the new national infrastructure p program, slated to start in late 2000 and to operate over six years, will j support a much larger number of projects than the Funds. Feasibility studies supported by GMEF can be used to develop f> project submissions to GMIF or the national infrastructure program. [ Approximately 15to 20 projects will be supported each year by GMIF and up to 150 feasibility studies by GMEF. We wishyou every success with your submission.

While the Act is being debated in the federal parliament, Environment Minister David Anderson has appointed Dr. Peter Pearse to examine one of the critical aspects of the • proposed legislation, the compensation of individuals suffering loss as a result of various prohibitions which could be implemented under SARA. The AAMD&C believes that SARA has the potential for tremendous impact in rural Canada, and we continue to work with our partners in the Land & Resource Partnership, as well as through our own efforts, to ensure that this legislation does not impose unreasonable burdens on rural landowners or rural local governments. - The AAMD&C has recently developed a position statement on the compensation issue, and we have forwarded this submission to Dr. Pearse, along with copies to all Alberta government MLA's, and Alberta government MP's. A copy of this submission is - attached for your further information. Yours truly, • i ^ Larfyfinorihop /• Executive Director • LG/gs Attachment I 47 " ALBERTA ASSOCIATION of MUNICIPAL DISTRICTS & COUNTIES 4504 - 101 STREET • EDMONTON ALBERTA T6E 5G9 • TELEPHONE: 436-9375 FAX: 437-5993 LARRY GOODHOPE - Executive Director July 4, 2000 Dr. Peter Pearse 6450 Elm Street Vancouver, B.C. V6N 1B3 Dear Dr. Pearse: The Alberta Association of Municipal Districts & Counties (AAMD&C) is the representative body for Alberta's incorporated rural municipal governments, including 65 municipal districts and counties, one specialized municipality, and the Special Areas Board. Our member municipalities cover most of the geographic area of Alberta, and include the vast majority of Alberta's rural population. Our member municipalities are home to virtually all wildlife, endangered or not, within Alberta's boundaries. Furthermore, these municipalities are home to virtually all of the citizenry whose active support is required for meaningful protection of wildlife species, and who are most likely to be directly affected by any measures adopted to protect species at risk. Therefore, it is clear that the AAMD&C and its member municipalities have a significant interest in the development of the federal Species At Risk Act (SARA), and particularly in the compensation provisions which you have been asked to examine. On that basis, our Board of Directors recently discussed these issues, and developed a number of recommendations for your consideration, which I am pleased to provide in the paragraphs below. Firstly, and most importantly, the AAMD&C believes that compensation must be provided to any party who suffers injurious consequences as a result of government legislative or regulatory initiatives aimed at protecting species at risk. We strongly believe that the decision to protect these species is a decision made by society as a whole, through the government they have elected, and that society as a whole should therefore bear the costs associated with that decision. It is unreasonable and patently unfair to ask any individual landowner, or other affected party, to bear any share of " that cost bevond that borne bv any other citizen. 48 I In thislight, we are concerned withthe federal proposal to limit compensation to those suffering "extraordinary losses". This position is supportable if the literal definition of P "extraordinary" is followed (i.e. beyond ordinary); however, the federal discussion - paper is somewhat vague on this point, and seems to imply that "extraordinary" will be r interpreted much more narrowly, tomean something along thelines of"farbeyond the ordinary" or "extreme". As noted above, we believe that any individual or organization suffering consequences beyond those affecting ordinary citizens should be p compensated for anylosses associated with those consequences. We are also concerned with the proposal to base compensation on "normal use" of the land. We believe that compensation must recognize lost development opportunities, lost revenue streams, etc. The use of market value in determining compensation may be one way of at least partially recognizing these factors, provided that the market valuation is not allowed to be artificially reduced by including recognition of whatever [ restrictions may be contemplated under SARA. In most instances, "market value" will allow the "highest and best use" of the land to be properly recognized, thereby ensuring fair compensationto the affected parties. P Finally, we wish to stress a point regarding the eligibility of parties for compensation. L The discussion to date has focused on compensating private landowners for extraordinary impacts arising from the application of SARA. While the AAMD&C P strongly supports compensation for affected landowners, and views such compensation as fundamental to the ultimate success of SARA, we do wish to draw to your attention P the importance ofcompensating local governments as well. The application of various prohibitions on land use or development under SARA has substantial implications for municipalities. Where the market or productive value of land is diminished by prohibitions enacted under SARA, the local municipality will experience a loss of property tax revenues. These lostrevenues must then be recouped p through additional taxes on other properties within the municipality, leading to an unfair impact on local taxpayers. This principle also applies to the loss of future property tax revenues resulting from the elimination of development opportunities for particularparcelsofland. The AAMD&C does not believe that the taxpayers of specific municipalities should be required to accept higher property taxes in order to benefit all Canadians through the protection of species at risk. Indeed, as such property tax impacts will occur almost IP exclusively in rural communities across Canada, a failure to properly compensate local governments will in effect require rural Canadians to artificially subsidize their much more numerous urban counterparts with respect to the costs of endangered species protection. Meanwhile, the benefits of these endeavours will accrue essentially equally to all citizens, regardless of place of residence. 49 PI In conclusion, the AAMD&C believes that the compensation provisions ultimately enacted under SARA must ensure that no Canadian bears an inequitable share of the i^sj financial burden arising from the protection of endangered species. Compensation of affected landowners, and of local municipal governments on behalf of their taxpayers, must be designed with the principles of fairness and equity in mind, to ensure that no landowner ortaxpayer is required to pay any greater share of this cost than would any other Canadian taxpayer. Ultimately, the fairness of the compensation provisions, along with tlie stewardship initiatives contemplated under SARA, will determine whether this legislation succeeds orfails inits mission to safeguard Canada's species at risk. We urge you to ensure that the principles stated above are recognized and supported in your final report to the Government of Canada. Thank you for your consideration of our comments, and good luck in the successful completion ofyour challenging mandate. Yours truly, r>VJack-Koyaon President JH/gs cc. Hon.

FORESTCARE is a program developed by members of the Alberta Forest Products Association (AFPA) and public representatives to protect the environment and sustain the many values of Alberta's forests. The Program has two goals: 1. progressively improve our members' performance in the forest, the environment and the community; and, 2. work cooperatively with industry stakeholders in the collective interest of ourenvironment, economy and social prosperity. PI Participation in FORESTCARE is a recognition by AFPA members that they must prove to Albertans their companies are truly improving the ways they conduct their woods and millsite operations. The 1999 FORESTCARE Report offers this proof through: • a "ReportCard" containing the results of the 33 FORESTCARE audits conducted in 1999 to independently verify company performance; • a variety of personal stories demonstrating the steps |p Committed FORESTCARE Members are taking to become better stewards of Alberta's forests and the environment. I urge you to contact the Committed FORESTCARE Members in your community. Find out how they are working to ensure Alberta's continued prosperity, while protecting the environment for future generations.
