Report Rebecca Row, Director of Planning and Development; Chad Watson, Senior Planner; and Kelby Unseth, Planner II and James McKnight, Planner II in attendance. Cancellation of 16. The subject properties were contract rezoned to D-Country Residential 3 District Contract Zoning from D-Industrial 3 District on September 10, 2007 subject to the execution of a Agreement contract zoning agreement. Central Pallets The contract zoning agreement allowed for the construction of a residence on Lots 15 & 16 of each of the lots while allowing the industrial uses to continue on the property. NW 14-36-6-W3 The industrial uses were to be phased out and converted to a residential land use prior to December 31, 2014. Now that the date in the agreement has expired Council should consider voiding the agreement and facilitating the process to rezone the land without being subject to a contract. Community Planning has indicated that the process to void the contract is as follows: 1) Take the issue to Council and request that they deem the contract zoning void; 2) If they say yes, advertise in the paper that Council intends to void the agreement. There does not need to be a public hearing but a date for when Council intends to void the contract should be given in case someone wanted to speak to it; 3) At the prescribed Council meeting, Council would pass a motion to cancel the agreement and repeal the old bylaw; and 4) Section 69 of the Planning and Development Act, 2007 states the land reverts back to the previous Zoning District so whatever it was before it becomes now. However, if the underlying Zoning District is not correct or desired then Council would need to initiate a bylaw to rezone to the desired Zoning District. With respect to this application the recommendation is for Council to pass a motion at the June 15, 2015 Council meeting that the R.M. intends to void the contract agreement at the July 20, 2015 Council meeting. Since the underlying zoning is an obsolete Zoning District (the Zoning Districts have changed since R.M. of Corman Park #344 Council Meeting Minutes June 15, 2015 Page 3 2007) the correct zoning should be D-Country Residential 3 District (with no contract) so at that same July 20, 2015 Council Meeting First Reading of a new bylaw should be given. Fox: That Administration is authorized to initiate the process to void the contract zoning agreement on Lot 15 and Lot 16; NW 14-36-6-W3 subject to rezoning of the properties to D-Country Residential 3 District (DCR3). CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY Saskatoon North 17. The Planning Committee was provided with an update on the Saskatoon North Partnership for Partnership for Growth (P4G) and its Regional Plan Project. Growth (P4G) The Regional Oversight Committee (ROC) unanimously approved the Regional Regional Plan Interim Development Strategy on May 26, 2015. It was made public at the Open Houses and is on the on the project website www.partnershipforgrowth.ca. Open Houses to publically kick off the Regional Plan project were held June 2 at Lakeview Church in the R.M. and June 3 in Warman at the Legends Centre. Both meetings were “come-and-go” format from 4-8 pm. Online information and engagement are also taking place. Information on the overall project/process, the Regional Vision and Regional Interim Development Strategy were made available at the Open Houses. The next ROC meeting will be held on September 10, 2015 will include a workshop on the Land Use Map. Since a new fiscal year has begun for the Ministry of Government Relations a final request for a response will be put forward on the funding request as it is anticipated that no funding will be provided however the P4G members agreed to wanting a formal decision given to them. Any additional implications of implementing the Regional Plan, including constructing regional transportation and servicing, and creating regional governance and administrative structures, will be determined as part of the project and will be addressed in future reports. Fox: That the Saskatoon North Partnership for Growth (P4G) Regional Plan report including the Regional Interim Development Strategy be received as information. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY Rheinland 18. The Planning Committee addressed concerns received from George and Nancy ReSubdivision Buhler regarding the the subdivision of parcels in Rheinland. Nancy Buhler attended to address Council to request that since the Friesen’s have sold their property that the Buhler’s should be allowed to subdivide their parcel. At the April 13, 2015 Planning Committee meeting, the Committee considered a letter from George and Nancy Buhler regarding the re-subdivision of parcels in Rheinland. The Buhler’s were concerned that one of the applicants chosen for re-subdivision through a draw now had their house for sale and that neither of the proposed subdivisions had been initiated. In order to determine the applicants’ intentions with regard to subdivision and to ensure that applications would come forward in a timely manner Council passed the following resolution at the April 20, 2015 meeting. R.M. of Corman Park #344 Council Meeting Minutes June 15, 2015 Page 4 “That registered correspondence be sent to the two applicants that were drawn for consideration of subdivision within Rheinland requesting acknowledgement within 60 days of their intent to subdivide, with submittal of the subdivision application including a Comprehensive Development Review required by December 31, 2015; failing which consent to subdivide will be revoked and offered to other interested parties.” Correspondence was sent through registered mail; both applicants received their letter in the first week of May. Jennifer Fast responded on May 8, 2015 that they have now contacted a survey firm to begin the process of submitting their application to the Ministry of Government Relations. Tim Friesen responded on May 20, 2015 that they were close to receiving an offer to purchase on their property. He inquired if the new owners would be able to proceed with the subdivision if they so wished. As of the date of this report the sale has gone through and Friesen’s no longer own the parcel in Rheinland. George and Nancy Buhler have submitted another letter reiterating that they feel that as the Friesen’s have now sold their property, the Buhler’s should be allowed to subdivide. The Buhler’s feel that the approval was for the landowner to subdivide and that it should not carry over to the new owner of the Friesen property. Rooke: That Administration obtain legal advice whether the permission to subdivide Parcel E NW 3-40-4-W3rd within Rheinland is a personal interest that can be assigned or is an interest in land that would be transferable with the said property that Timothy and Constance Friesen have now sold and is to be brought back to Council pending legal advice.
