The municipalities include Lacombe County, Red Deer County, Summer Village of Birchcliff, Summer Village of Half Moon Bay, Summer Village of Jarvis Bay, Summer Village of Norglenwold, Summer Village of Sunbreaker Cover, and the Town of Sylvan Lake. The purpose of the Sylvan Lake Intermunicipal Development Plan is to collectively protect the environment and watershed, enable appropriate development, and support the diversity of the municipalities located within the Plan Area. The project has been divided into three phases. This What We Heard Report includes the feedback gathered through Phase 3. Engagement Engagement for the final phase of the Sylvan Lake Intermunicipal Development Plan began in November 2019. A public open house was held on November 20, 2019 at the NexSource Centre, Senior’s Centre in Sylvan Lake and was open to the public from 5:30pm to 8:00pm. The purpose of the open house was to present the final draft of the Sylvan Lake Intermunicipal Development Plan and to allow participants to ask questions of the project team as well as provide input on the draft plan. Participants were asked to provide feedback by writing comments on post-it notes and leaving them on the open house boards, or by completing a survey. The survey was made available through a hard copy version that could be accessed at the Open House, at any of the Partner Municipality office, or online through the project website. The survey was available to the public from November 20, 2019 until December 4, 2019. The survey consisted of 12 questions requesting feedback on the main sections of the draft plan. The information gathered through the survey allowed the project team to understand any discrepancies in the policies and gather new information that may not have been included to date in the draft Sylvan Lake Intermunicipal Development Plan so that revisions can be made. Engagement by the Numbers Public Feedback Public Open House (Surveys and email/in person/mailed 90 participants submissions) 103 responses Page | 3 1.1. Key Themes Protecting the Environment Phase 1 engagement results noted “protecting the environment and watershed” as the priority for the Sylvan Lake Intermunicipal Development Plan. Throughout Phase 1 engagement, the consistent underlying theme had been protection of natural features in the area. In the Phase 3 engagement, the trend of protecting environment remains as one of the highest themes with support from 14% of comments identifying protecting the environment, water quality and wildlife. Many respondents noted the positive impact a formalized boat launch would have on the overall health of the lake and that closing informal launches would need to occur to continue to maintain the health of the lake. There is concern regarding the health of the lake due to invasive species that can enter the waterways when launching boats into the water. A comment theme was that respondents that believe a new formalized boat launch should be controlled in order to further protect the water. Development Setbacks Approximately 10% of the comments indicate that the 30-metre setback requirements for properties that are already subdivided or developed, outlined in section 6.0 – Environment under Environmental Reserve and Development Setback from Sylvan Lake and Environmental Reserve and Development Setbacks from Sylvan Lake Tributaries, are excessive and will render many properties undevelopable. Many respondents commented that the existing properties in the Summer Villages cannot allow for a 30m setback. There have been several recommendations put forward: existing properties be exempt or “grandfathered” from the policies; or the setback requirement of 30-metre be eliminated; or comments support using the development design plan approach. Sample comments that speak to those respondents that are against the 30-metre setback requirement include (the following feedback is verbatim): • The 30 m setback from the bank is unrealistic. That would render undeveloped lots or lots with old cottages (tear downs) unusable. • Homes do not need to be 30 meters from the lake bank. Perhaps 7m. For those already in place, it is not necessary to dictate 30m. Areas that are not developed or vacant do not need to be placed in this category of 30 m. Perhaps 5-7 m • 6.2.10: We recommend: All existing lakefront lots be excempt Allow development at the discretion of development authority on existing lakefront lots i.e. 30m setbacks are totally impossible in the existing Summer Village lots • Do not support 6.2.10 (30 m setback). Existing lakefront properties must be exempt. We support 6.2.11 which allows for redevelopment within 30 m with permit. We do not support the 6.2.14 recommendations for setbacks from tributaries. Existing lakefront lots must be exempt. Support 6.2.15 allowing for redevelopment in 30 m with permit. We support the 6.2.16 setback policy. Page | 4 Trails Phase 1 engagement found that trails are identified as an important recreation feature for the area. Phase 1 saw 65% of the respondents support the development of a regional trail around the lake. Section 7.0 – Recreation recognizes the importance in developing a trail within the Plan Area of the Sylvan Lake Intermunicipal Development Plan. Respondents in the Phase 3 engagement were less concerned with the trail, with only 6% of comments speaking to the trail at all, with responses split 3% for the trail, and 3% against it. Respondents noted that there are concerns included: environmental impacts of the trail; consideration for which of the Partner Municipalities would be responsible for maintaining the trail; and impacts of the trail on adjacent neighbours. Sample comments that speak to perspectives for and against a trail system include (the following feedback is verbatim): • The proposed trail around the lake is a good idea, but we've found that nature tends to take over when one is constructing a trail close to the water, i.e. the ice piles up in the spring, and erodes the banks and trails. This is not caused by humans; this is nature at work! • I support a regional trail system as long as the privacy and maintenance for quiet enjoyment of existing residential property is a priority in route planning. • Summer villages enjoy quiet enjoyment of their areas and adding a trail system may result in the loss of that. • Do not support 7.2.1-regional trail system. Jeopardizes wildlife, environment and flora; infringes on existing properties and causes erosion of lake bank; many existing trails in the region already; would require costly infrastructure and maintenance. Motorized Lake Access Phase 1 engagement found that there was strong support for providing increased boat access to the lake with 45% of respondents in favour. In Phase 3, the trends remain the same where approximately 12% of comments stressed the importance of developing a formalized boat launch within the Plan Area. Many additional comments focused on the importance that a controlled boat launch in supporting lake health by protecting Sylvan Lake from invasive species. Other comments associated with this theme included locating a gas station at the boat launch to prevent fuel from entering the waterways. Most respondents did not provide feedback on the proposed boat launch sites; however there were some comments that would like to see the boat launch located within the Town of Sylvan Lake. When a formalized boat launch is determined and the municipalities agree to the location and costing for it, a number of respondents would like to see the informal launches permanently closed. Sample comments that speak to those respondents
