I Introduction The Village of Marwayne is located in the County of Vermilion River, approximately 20 km north of the Yellowhead Trans- Highway (Highway 16) at the junction of Highway 45 and 897.

The line from to is abandoned and in process of disposal by the CPR.

Marwayne presently has a population of 550 citizens according to the 2005 Village of Marwayne Municipal Census. Marwayne is located in an area that is renowned for its agricultural production. Oil and gas exploration is providing an opportunity for growth in Marwayne and the surrounding area.

The surrounding region is also referred to as "The Lakeland Region". There are numerous lakes and rivers in this region. The lakes and rivers provide the community with an opportunity to take on a larger role as a seasonal service provider for tourists in the region.

Figure I shows the plan area in its regional context. Marwayne is situated at a significant junction point on the Cold Lake - Lloydminster corridor between Highway 45 and 897 County ofVerrnilion River 4 Marwayne Area Structure Plan

4. Public Input

The Village of Marwayne held a public meeting on March 31, 2005 during the development of their Long Range Plan for the area surrounding the Village. Indicators are that the extensions within serviceable area of the village are understood and supported by the residences of Marwayne

5. Land Use

Proposed land uses within the Plan area and the tentative lot lines are shown on Figure 8. Precise locations and dimensions of future parcels will be established at the subdivision stage, however, they must conform closely with the approved Area Structure Plan.

The Plan notes existing land uses of the plan area and surrounding area. Land use conflicts have been minimized. Future relocation of the institutional parcel may be required.

6. Transportation Network

The Plan area has Highway 897 going through the Village, with the speed limit dropping to 50 kmlh in the Village limits from 100 kmIh. While Highway 45 curve passes around just outside the Village limits and its limit remains at 100 kmlh. The Village Heavy Truck Route is designated as:

(a) all of North & South Railway Avenue through to and including Highway 897

(b) all of South 5th Street

2004 average annual daily traffic highways counts are:

);> Hwy 45/897 junction to A1curve: 1620

);> H wy 45/897 junction north into Village: 1660

);> 4.7 km south 45 & 897 Marwayne: 1740

It should also be noted that through traffic sometimes use Twp. Rd. 524 from Highway 897 to Highway 45 as a shortcut.

To accommodate the development along Highway 897, it is proposed that the speed limit drop at the cemetery to 70 km/h and then to 50 kmlh half way through NE23 when development occurs along 897. Approval from Alberta Transportation is needed.

If development occurs along the east side of Highway 45, it is expected that an internal road network will be required. Also if an industrial park develops along Highway 897 and Twp. Rd. 524 the specific area structure plan for that area will most likely need to incorporate internal roadways.

The Village also has a proposed trail system see Figure 8.1.

There are two bridges in this plan area, one on Twp. Rd. 524 which has approx five years oflife left. And the second along Range Rd. 32. County of Vermilion River 16 Marwayne Area Structure Plan

7. Municipal Water and Sanitary The present water system will provide service for approximately 1000 people providing that the amount of unaccounted for water remains below 20% of total consumption. A population of 1000 people using 250 litres per person per day would use 250,000 litres per day, which is significantly less than the current capacity of 551,520 litres per day.

The sanitary sewer system has adequate capacity to serve a population of approximately 1100 persons. The topography northeast of Maf\vayne is conducive to gravity flow of sewage to the west and south. The elevation of the area proposed for future development ranges between 601 meters and 607 meters above mean sea level. This allows sewage to flow southwest to the lagoon. Following the natural flow will eliminate the need for a lift station. See Map 5.4

Therefore, current water and sewer servicing will meet operational requirements within the Village and capacity will not be reached unless the Village annexes land for further development:

For the proposed south industrial area, the water and sewer services are currently extended to South 4th Street, if water and sewer connections are required, the Village will enter into a Memorandum of Agreement to extend the 6" mains. From extrapolating information from our Infrastructure Asset computer program, approximately 150 meters of mains would be required to the corner of Highway 897 and Twp Rd 524 (South 5th Street), and then servicing to the property.

For water service to this area, the water main would be oversized, with the village picking up its respective proportional costs, and the developer then also paying for the individual service to the property.

For a gravity sewer service, we understand from our planners that the last manhole on Highway 897, leaves very little room for appropriate gravity slope. However, from investigations in other parts of the Village, it is thought that a low pressure system could possibly work in this area. The developers would be responsible for a portion of the sewer main extension, their own pump and underground tank that would then pump into our main sewer line. Another alternative would be to consider a totally contained sewer tank that is manually pumped out by a local contractor.

The Village acknowledges that in the future when this area further develops internal industrial lots, the feasibility of a sewer lift station will need to be investigated. County of Vermilion River 19 Marwa),l1e Area Structure Plan

8. Storm Water Management

The north portion of the plan area contains natnral drainage channels that collect the surface runoff from the east edge, picking up the Village main drainage outlet, and ultimately to the northwest coruor of the plan. See Map 5.2. The south portion of the plan includes one low area near Highway 897 that drains to the Twp. Rd. 524 bridge, where it is then joined by another surface drainage channel exiting from the Village limits.

Development of the Southwest of 25 will require implementation of a storm water stndy to allow land adjacent to Highway 45 adequate drainage for development purposes. County of Vermilion River 21 Manvayne Area Stntcture Plan

9. Implementation Strategy

Figure II shows the proposed staging of residential and industrial development. Servicing for the south part of the industrial portion will be restricted to feasible engineered facilities.

Phase I: The Village will be developing their own land within the Village boundaries and exploring the feasibility of industrial development of both sides of the road along Twp. Rd 524. Development will depend on owner's interest in developing/selling their land and requirements of water and sewer for each specific lot.

Phase 2: Involves the development of both highway commercial property along 897 and possibly general industrial lots in the interior of the development. The highway development would screen the interior general industrial lots. The Village will also be looking at development of their southeast comer within the Village limits for future industrial expansion. For residential the Village will County of Vennilion River 23 Marwayne Area Structure Plan

expand into NW26-52-3-4 as all water and sewer can be easily extended into this area.

Phase 3: Involves highway commercial development along east side of Highway 897 and the easterly portion of Twp Rd. 524. Then development along the Highway 45 corridor will be investigated. County of Vermilion River 24 Marwayne Area Structure Plan
