B1 C1 Reason for Appeal
Vulcan County has refused DP Application 50-2020 based on the following:
The applicant failed to demonstrate a road construction plan which will meet the needs of the development and Vulcan County specifications. While the applicant stated material for the road would be made available from the applicants own lands, due to the volume of road building material required, this would effectively render the current geotechnical, slope stability, and site plan information provided within the application irrelevant. The applicant failed to provide remedy for this issue.
Applicant’s response and reason for appeal:
Segment 1 of County’s refusal statement: “The applicant failed to demonstrate a road construction plan which will meet the needs of the development and Vulcan County specifications.”
Within the Road Construction Plan provided, it is clearly indicated that the road will be constructed to and in compliance with Vulcan County’s policies for road construction standards. In addition, it is also clearly stated that a formal Engineering Municipal Road and Driveway Design will be procured upon the campground development being approved.
This demonstrates that the plan meets the needs of the development and Vulcan County specifications.
It appears that clarification and specifics as to what constitutes a road construction plan which will meet the needs of the development and Vulcan County specifications is needed, and was not provided by Vulcan County to the applicant for the preparation of the road construction plan and ensuring it is interpreted to Vulcan County’s satisfaction.
Segment 2 of County’s refusal statement: “While the applicant stated material for the road would be made available from the applicants own lands, due to the volume of road building material required, this would effectively render the current geotechnical, slope stability, and site plan information provided within the application irrelevant.”
The applicant stated that the first option is to obtain a road work agreement with adjacent land owners. He stated that a meeting was held at the county office with the director of operations and the adjacent land owners, and it was agreed that road work agreements would be possible with a formal Engineering Municipal Road and Driveway Design. The applicant also stated that, in the unlikely event that a road work agreement cannot be reached with adjacent land owners, that an alternate source for additional fill material, should
C2 excess material from the road construction not be sufficient, that it could be obtained from the applicant’s property.
The volume of additional material, if any, has been guessed, but is unknown. It will be established with the formal engineering design.
The applicant did not mention from where within the property the material would be obtained. Hence, it is incorrect to assume that it would effectively render the current geotechnical, slope stability, and site plan information provided within the application irrelevant, as the amount of material available on the property is vast and would not be obtained from within the proposed development area.
Segment 3 of County’s refusal statement: “The applicant failed to provide remedy for this issue.” Clarification and specifics as to what is required to meet the needs of the development and Vulcan County specifications was not provided by Vulcan County to the applicant for the preparation of the road construction plan, as such, he was not aware that there was an issue that needed to be remedied.

Proposal & Background
First Matter
The Land Use Bylaw discusses reapplication in section 70 and 71. It states;
70. If an application for a development permit is refused, another application for a development permit on the same lot for the same or similar use may not be submitted for at least six months after the date of refusal.
71. If an application was refused solely because it did not comply with this bylaw, another application on the same lot for the same or similar use may be accepted before the time period referred to in Section 70 provided the application has been modified to comply with this bylaw.
Mr. Seifert’s application was denied by the MPC on June 3rd. Subsequently, the Subdivision and Appeal Board denied his appeal on July 15th, 2020. This would make his reapplication time January 15th, 2021. However, since the decision Mr. Seifert has submitted further information in an effort to present the County with a complete application. An accurate site plan, supported by a Geotech, as well as details on a road building plan. Should MPC consider the documents to suffice and consider the application complete, they may choose to hear the application.

Bernie Seifert has made an application for a Private Campground development on a 22 acre (8.90 hectares) parcel zoned as Rural Recreational (RR) on a portion of SW 1-15-22 W4M. The parcel is approximately 18km east of Champion, and is located on the south side of Travers Reservoir. There exists a cottage, a mobile home and a storage building already on the property.
The project has extensive background that dates back to October of 2013 and begins with a redesignation to Rural Recreational, a road closure, a subdivision, and subsequently a Development Permit for a home addition. The road known as RR221 and portions of TR 150 have been closed, and an agreement for sale between the County, the Birds and Mr. Seifert has been established. The North-South road allowance (RR 221) will be spilt 50/50 (East West) and each portion sold to the adjacent landowner. Mr. Seifert will be purchasing the closed portions of TR 150.
The Application At full build out stage, the proposal is for 70 RV sites, 70 cabins, and 6 5-person Teepees. Also included in the application is a Groundskeeper’s dormitory, bathroom/showers/laundry building, a waterline from the reservoir, roads, a cistern for water reserve, parking lots, hot tub, and playground and marina. The submitted site plan proposes the arrangement of these buildings. The applicant has suggested his current parking plan can hold 73 vehicles, and a cart will take the persons from the parking spots to the “glamping pods”. For fire mitigation the application proposes fire hose be available and pressure kept by the way of the cistern in the way of a power failure. Administration recommends a formal emergency plan be submitted to the satisfaction of the Protective Services Department. The waterline on the site plan is for irrigation purposes and fire mitigation only. The applicant intends on applying for a water conveyance agreement and if unsuccessful, having water hauled in. A sewer dumping station is proposed on site which would have to meet safety codes standards.
Administration strongly recommends if the MPC is considering approval of this permit application, that the approval be limited to Phase One of said development. Phase One includes 45 RV sites, 6 Teepees, 18 – 4 person glamping pods, 12 2-person glamping pods, the water reservoir including filtration system, bathrooms (9 port-a-toilettes outhouses, 2 port-a-showers, 2 port-a- wash basins) grounds keeper dorm, parking (78), playground, and the rental shack. A portion of the Clubhouse is proposed in Phase One as well; however, administration suggests a separate permit be obtained for this structure. This is due to the complexity of its use, and lack of detail currently provided.

6 a) - 07 Oct 2020 Page 28 of 230 Waivers Required Most of the 2-person cabins are proposed to be built on the side of the coulee slopes, therefore requiring waivers of slope setback conditions in Schedule 4 Standards of Development. Also, all the 4-person cabins, the dormitory and the laundry buildings will require a waiver of the setback from the toes of slopes in Schedule 4 Standards of Development. The applicant has proposed all structures, except two existing structures, being Cabin One and the Rental Shack, be placed a minimum of 20 feet from the property lines.
Municipal Development Plan Bylaw No.2012-003 (MDP) In reference to reservoir development the MDP encourages that a variety of the means (types) are established for people to use the reservoir for recreational purposes. However the MDP maintains that the top priority for reservoirs is irrigation. Specifically, the MDP indicates the following;
OBJECTIVES:
• To accommodate future demand for residential and recreational development where practical to do so, and on suitable sites. • To ensure the negative impacts of residential and recreational development on the irrigation and water supply function of the reservoirs are minimized. • To adopt criteria which will guide planning decisions on future development and subdivision applications. • To ensure a mixture of means for access to the reservoirs is provided. • To minimize the impact of development on the natural environment, in particular, any identified environmentally significant areas.
POLICIES: 3.1 The Council should commence a review of all planning documents pertaining to areas adjacent to reservoirs and water bodies and should prepare and adopt updated area structure plan(s) to implement lakeshore management policies and regulate development. 3.2 In evaluating proposals for new reservoir development, the physical characteristics of the site shall be carefully assessed. 3.3 All applications for resort residential development shall be required to provide for communal water and sewer servicing for the development. Other uses within this district may be required to provide communal servicing on request. 3.4 All applications for resort residential uses shall be accompanied by a duly prepared area structure plan.
Land Use Bylaw 2010-010 The Land Use Bylaw defines (Private) Campground as:
a) a use of land or buildings for financial gain where the public is admitted only on payment of a fee, or where admission is limited; and b) a use of land or buildings intended for seasonal occupancy by camping units. This use may include supplementary bathroom and recreational facilities, eating shelters, convenience retail, laundry facilities and dwelling accommodation for the owner/operator as part of the use or, as accessory uses.
Page 4 of 5 E4
6 a) - 07 Oct 2020 Page 29 of 230 Area Structure Plan 97-018 The ’97 ASP has little language regarding development procedures for campgrounds however in a general statement it relays the importance of the primary function of the reservoirs being irrigation and domestic water supply. It recognizes the potential for commercial and private recreation development and requests measures be taken to ensure public access to the reservoirs is maintained by way of a MR (Municipal Reserve) dedication.
Other The Vulcan County Land Use Bylaw No.2010-010, designates the subject lands as (RR) – Rural Recreational Land use District. Private Campgrounds are classified as discretionary uses [Schedule 2 – Land Use District Regulations – (RG) Rural General, Section 1 - Uses]. As a result, the Municipal Planning Commission is the development authority having jurisdiction. [Section 44]. Further, the Development Permit application was circulated to those persons likely to be affected, including adjacent and surrounding landowners, surrounding municipalities, Vulcan County departments, government departments and referral agencies. [Section 45] At the time of writing this report; Alberta Historic Resources Management has replied stating the applicant must obtain Historical Resources Act approval prior to any land disturbance taking place; Telus has replied with no concerns. Fortis, No Concerns
Financial/Policy Consideration Land Use Bylaw 2010-010
FOIP Consideration Development Permits are advertised once approved and so become public knowledge.
Implementation/Communication The applicant and all affected agencies and landowners will be notified of the Municipal Planning Commission’s decision.

6 a) - 07 Oct 2020 Page 31 of 230 Executive Summary
Proposed Development The proposed development is for an ecological and environmentally friendly campground on 22.15 acres that is at SW 1-15-22-4 on the Travers Reservoir in Vulcan County. The development will include 45 RV Sites, 31 glamping pods, 6 teepees, enclosed camp shelter, marina, boat rental, playground, sports filed, and owner’s / manager’s residence. Integral to the proposed development is the construction of approximately 2 miles of municipal road.
Benefit to Vulcan County The impact that this development will have on the community is that it will employ the services of a cross-section of local talent during the planning and construction phase, and in the ongoing operation of the business. Furthermore, because of its unique and spectacular setting, the proposed development is the first of several development phases for a world-class facility that once in operation will be a holiday destination that will draw local and international tourists to the region, which will foster excellent economic growth potential and help further the County’s tourism industry initiative. $1,700,000 will have been invested in the project in this first phase of the development. Over $230,000 in expenses will be spent in the first year of camp operation in local goods and services, and with over $470,000 in year 2 and $700,000 spent in year 3. The development will also generate additional Tax Revenue for the county.
Risks There will be no financial risk or cost to Vulcan County as the entire development, including the municipal road construction, will be funded by the applicant.
______
This application is for the development of the campground only, and does not include the ongoing maintenance, repairs, and improvements of the existing buildings, structures, infrastructure, and landscaping within the subject land.
The proposed development will take place within the original property boundaries and it’s 20-foot setback from the original property line, prior to the road closure subdivision that is being carried out by Vulcan County; with the exception of the maintenance yard and the property road access point. 2 E7

6 a) - 07 Oct 2020 Page 33 of 230 General Information
Subject Land The property (SW1 15 22 W4) is a sprawling 22-acre parcel of land located on the Travers Reservoir, with approximately 672 meters of waterfront. Vulcan County is moving forward with the road closure subdivision. Except for the driveway and a portion of the camp maintenance yard, the proposed development will be contained within the original property boundaries, including the 20-foot property line setback.
The road closure subdivision is not a condition of the development application. The road closure subdivision, and the campground development will be carried out independent of each other. For instance, the subdivision will be carried out weather or not the development moves forward, and vice versa.
Setting The setting of this land is very unique with spectacular views of the lake and yields great potential for the tourism industry, for both local and international tourists.
Access/Road Impact At present, access to the property is by water and by gravel road & trail on the south side of the Travers Reservoir. Driveways on the subject property and portions of municipal road allowances were constructed in 2013 and 2014. New road construction to access the site is integral to the development and forms part of this application. The road will be constructed to municipal standards, Policy 32-1009 Road Construction Policy - Resort Exceptions, and be approved by Vulcan County at completion.
Security The perimeter of the land will be fenced and gated, with the exception of the waterfront. This is to keep stray livestock out, and to keep guests within the parameters of the ground and to keep them from wandering onto neighboring lands.
Services The retreat will be designed such that it will be ecological and environmentally friendly. • Water – In addition to the existing “Household Purposes (Domestic) Agreement” with BRID where water is drawn from Travers Reservoir; a “Water Conveyance Agreement” will be applied for upon the County’s approval of the development, and entered with BRID for the water requirement for the camp operation. Alternatively, potable water will be transported by truck to fill holding tanks for the camp operation. • Electricity – will be produced via renewable energy using existing photovoltaic panels and backup diesel generator. • Heat – will be required for the owner’s/manager’s residence, and is currently provided by wood stove, and by propane water heater and stove.
4 E9
6 a) - 07 Oct 2020 Page 34 of 230 General Information (continued)
Services (continued) Garbage/Waste – will be sorted as instructed by Vulcan County’s Waste Transfer General Manager, Dick Ellis, and be collected in respective bins adjacent to the maintenance yard. Bins will be transported by staff or contractor to the Carmangay or town of Vulcan waste transfer station. Sewage – there are 4 existing outhouses within the development area that are (in accordance with section 11 (1) of the Province of Alberta Heath Act Recreational Area Regulation) at more than 30 meters from the reservoir at Full Service Level. They are currently in use and have been for many years. New portable toilets will be installed that have built-in sewage holding tanks that will be pumped out on a regular basis. RV sites will be un-serviced, and will only be used by guests with self- contained recreational vehicles and trailers that have built-in sewage holding tanks that will be pumped out on a regular basis. Telephone, Internet, Television – Via wireless service provider.
Emergencies • An Emergency Plan has been developed and reviewed by the local fire chief. It is to be finalized on development completion and approved by the fire chief prior to camp operation. • Driveways are currently to municipal standards for the most part, and allow for 2-way traffic of emergency vehicles. Some sections of the existing driveways and new driveways will be improved and built accordingly.
Economy The proposed development will employ the services of a cross-section of local talent in the development phases. Once development is complete, further employment of local and regional staff will continue throughout the operation of the business. Furthermore, because of the unique and spectacular setting of the land, the proposed development is for a world–class facility. This will draw local and international guests to the region, which will foster excellent economic growth potential and help further the County’s tourism industry initiative.

Bernie,
Provided there are no impacts to Public Land or Travers Reservoir opera ons, then y ou are able to complete the work on your development that you have specified related to the por on of y our RV sites on private lands. However, for full development, you are required to submit an applica on under the Water Act for stormwater management. As part of that, you should be prepared to have an assessment done for what your pre vs. post development flows leaving your development and into the reservoir are. Please let me know if you would like to discuss more on what would be required in support of an applica on.
Further, if you have any ques ons r egarding the reservoir or access to public lands, you can contact Reservoir opera ons a t [email protected], or contact Michelle Armstrong at [email protected]. regarding Public Lands.
Thanks for your submission.

1.0 INTRODUCTION As requested, E2K Engineering Ltd. (E2K) conducted a geotechnical investigation at the Little Bow Lakeside Retreat on the south side of Travers Reservoir in Vulcan County, Alberta. It is understood the private property will be transitioned into a proposed campground that will consist of RV campsites, glamping pods, and campground utility services.
The geotechnical investigation consisted of drilling five boreholes, laboratory testing, and GPS surveying. The objective of the geotechnical investigation was to obtain subsurface soil and groundwater information for the slope stability assessment (SSA) and the private sewage treatment system (PSTS) assessments. The objective of the SSA was to evaluate the pre-existing and post-development conditions of the steepest slopes on-site in the proposed locations of the RV campsites, glamping pods, and campground utility services. In addition, the geotechnical investigation provided supplemental information to evaluate the suitability of two (2) on-site PSTS.
In addition, the following report has been updated according to the new site plan titled “New Site Plan” for Phase 1 which was provided to E2K by Mr. Bernie Seifert on September 14th, 2020. Upon reviewing the “New Site Plan”, the geotechnical comments and recommendations outlined in Section 6 of this report remain relevant. The “New Site Plan” for Phase 1 has adhered to all geotechnical recommendations outlined.
Section 7 was updated for the PSTS assessments near the locations of BH-02 and BH-05. The PSTS assessments are only relevant to the proposed septic fields in these locations (BH-02 and BH-05). Additional PSTS assessments will be required if the respective septic field locations change.
The locations of boreholes BH-01 to BH-05 and survey sections have been updated on the new site plan in Figures 1 and 2.
2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION The private property is accessible through a prairie access road from the intersection of Township Road 145 (TWP145) and Range Road 223 (RR223) in Vulcan County, Alberta. The prairie access road is approximately 3.2 km long and is surrounded by farm fields with wind turbines. Access to the private property is granted through a gate entrance. A gravel road then winds down the hills into the property. Travers Reservoir is visible from the entrance and borders along the northeastern shoreline of the property. Moderate to steep hills generally dip in the northeast and east directions where Travers Reservoir is located. Site drainage also occurs in these directions. The property is primarily covered in tall grass vegetation with little to no tree vegetation. Across Travers Reservoir to the

north, eroded cliffs are visible with exposed coal seams. Some soil sloughing into the reservoir is also evident.
3.0 DETAILS OF THE INVESTIGATION The geotechnical investigation was conducted on March 9th, 2020, utilizing a track-mounted auger drill rig using solid stem augers. The rig was owned and operated by All Service Drilling Ltd. of Airdrie, Alberta. Five boreholes in total were drilled within the vicinity of the private property. A split spoon sampler was used to conduct Standard Penetration Tests (SPT’s) at 1.5 m intervals. The sampler was advanced in three 150 mm increments for a total of 450 mm of advancement. The sum of the blows to penetrate the soil for the final 300 mm is known as the SPT ‘N’ value.
The subsurface soil conditions were continuously logged using the Modified Unified Soil Classification System which includes soil types along with descriptions. Depths at which different soil types were encountered along with their color and moisture content were also logged. Disturbed soil samples were acquired at regular intervals from the auger and split spoon sampler. Samples were then transported to the E2K geotechnical laboratory to determine moisture content, hydrometer analysis, and Atterberg Limits. Shelby tube samples from an approximate depth of 1.5 m below grade and 3.0 m below grade in BH-05 was also taken in case permeability testing is required for further analysis.
Following drilling, a 25 mm PVC standpipe was installed in BH-01, BH-02, BH-03, BH-04, and BH-05 to an approximate depth of 12.32 m, 12.15 m, 12.58 m, 12.32, and 6.45 m, respectively. The standpipes in each borehole were slotted from the bottom up to approximately half the length of the standpipes to allow groundwater infiltration and to measure the depths of the groundwater. The boreholes were then backfilled with drill cuttings and sealed at the surface with bentonite. Locations and elevations of each borehole were recorded using a handheld GNSS receiver.

4.0 SUBSURFACE SOIL CONDITIONS The soil stratigraphy encountered primarily consisted of lacustrine deposits of sand, silt, and clay. All borehole logs are attached at the end of this report and provide more detailed descriptions of the encountered soils. It should be noted that soil layer thicknesses outlined are not absolute and will vary throughout the site.
4.1 SAND AND SILT A combination of silty sand or sandy silt was encountered in BH-01, BH-02, BH-03, and BH-04. The encountered depths and thicknesses of these soil layers alternated in BH-01 to BH-04 and were often interbedded with clay layers. This material either contained sand or silt as the dominant soil content and either had silty or sandy contents within. The material was consistently light brown in color, dry to damp, and was fine to medium grained.
Moisture content tests were performed on soil samples taken from these layers in BH-01, BH-02, BH-03, and BH-04. Moisture contents ranged from 3.4% to 20.7% depending on the borehole and depth the sample was retrieved from.
The SPT ‘N’ values within the sand and silt layer resulted in blow counts ranging from 4 to 43 blows for 300 mm of penetration across BH-01 to BH-04. These SPT ‘N’ values indicate loose to dense in-situ conditions. Generally, loose in-situ conditions were encountered at shallower depths while denser conditions were encountered at greater depths across BH-01 to BH-04.

4.2 CLAY Clay was encountered in BH-01, BH-03, BH-04, and BH-05. The material was primarily described as containing some sand to being sandy, some silt, brown in color, dry to moist depending on the borehole and depth, and having a low to medium plasticity.
Moisture content tests were performed on soil samples taken from these layers in BH-01, BH-03, BH-04, and BH-05. Moisture contents ranged from 11.0% to 20.6% depending on the borehole and depth the sample was retrieved from.
The SPT ‘N’ values within the clay layer resulted in blow counts ranging from 5 to 33 blows for 300 mm of penetration across BH-01, BH-03, BH-04, and BH-05. These SPT ‘N’ values indicate firm to hard in-situ conditions.
Grain size analysis was performed on two samples recovered from the clay layer in BH-05. This was performed to verify visual classification observed during the investigation. The results are summarized on Table 4 in Section 7.
Atterberg Limit testing was also performed on a soil sample recovered from the clay layer in BH-05. This was performed to verify the plasticity of the material observed on the site. The results are summarized in the table below.

4.3 GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS Groundwater was not encountered at the time of drilling in BH-01, BH-02, BH-03, and BH-05. Groundwater was encountered at the time of drilling at approximately 11.6 m below grade in BH-04.
Static groundwater levels were then measured one week later on March 17, 2020. Groundwater was not encountered in BH-01, BH-02, and BH-03. Groundwater was approximately measured at 8.1 m below grade and 6.2 m below grade in BH-04 and BH-05. These measured groundwater levels have corresponding elevations above sea level of 856.5 m and 856 m in BH-04 and BH-05. According to Google Earth, the surface

E100
6 a) - 07 Oct 2020 Page 125 of 230 LITTLE BOW LAKESIDE RETREAT 5
water elevation of Travers Reservoir above sea level is 857 m. These recorded groundwater elevations are approximately at the same elevation as the surface water in Travers Reservoir. This strongly suggests groundwater levels across the property are linked to the surface water level of the reservoir.
It should be noted that the groundwater table and surface water levels in Travers Reservoir can fluctuate with seasonal conditions including precipitation, temperature, site drainage characteristics, and operations of the nearby dam.
5.0 SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS At the end of the geotechnical investigation, site surveying of the steepest slopes on the property was performed using a handheld GNSS receiver. The site surveying was performed in accordance with the Phase I – Site Plan provided by the client. Analyses of the worst-case slopes were completed utilizing the soil parameters obtained from the geotechnical investigation. As described in Section 4.3, a groundwater table at an elevation of 857 m above sea level was incorporated in each worst-case slope section. Slope geometries were constructed using horizontal distances and elevations obtained from the site surveys.
5.1 INPUT PARAMETERS The soil parameters incorporated in the slope stability assessments were based on the encountered soil layers during the geotechnical investigation. Groundwater elevations of 857 m above sea level were also included in the analyses. Soil parameters used in the analyses are listed below in Table 3.

Within our slope models, a 12.5 kPa surface load was applied at any proposed RV campsite locations. It is understood the glamping pods will be constructed using screw piles. It is recommended that the screw piles be installed to a minimum depth of 2.44 m (8 feet) below grade to ensure the piles are independent of surficial sloughing and erosion. The glamping pods are understood to be approximately 2.44 m (8 feet) wide. Glamping pod loads were not provided to E2K, so within our models, screw piles were considered as a 1 kN point load each.
The applied load locations for the RV campsites and glamping pods locations were approximately selected based on the Phase I – Site Plan.
6.0 COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Based on the results of the geotechnical investigation and our understanding of the proposed campground development, we submit the following comments and recommendations based on Figures 3-22, attached at the end of this report. Figure 1 and Figure 2 attached at the end of this report highlight the five borehole locations and the eight cross-sections that were surveyed and assessed.

6.1 PRE-EXISTING ANALYSIS A pre-existing slope stability assessment was conducted for each slope cross-section. The assessments for Sections A, B, C, and D have a slope toe bordering the Travers Reservoir. Observations on-site noted erosion at the toe of these slopes, likely due to the reservoir’s fluctuating water levels. It is expected that the slope toe along the Travers Reservoir will continue to erode and could result in natural upslope regressive failures as drying causes the loss of cohesion and runoff/wave action causes erosion of the surficial soils.
In Sections E, F, and G, the toe of the slope has been manually excavated, which is understood to have occurred in the past 5-10 years. Only minor slumping/sloughing was noted in these locations at the time of our inspection, but there is potential for erosion over time, leading to regressive failure if the slope toe is not replaced or reinforced. Due to regressive failure, the global stability Factor of Safety (FOS) of these slopes could decrease to lower than our analyses indicate, over time.
6.2 POST-DEVELOPMENT It is recommended that slopes with an achieved FOS of 1.5 or less should be re-assessed every 5 – 10 years by E2K. If any erosion or slope deformation is noticed by the property owner, the slopes should be immediately re-assessed.
6.2.1 Section A: Post-Development The post-development case for Section A (Figure 4) assessed the approximate RV campsite location on the crest of the slope. A FOS of 2.9 was achieved and is above the industry standard of 1.5. This RV campsite location is deemed acceptable and should not be constructed past the crest of this slope.
6.2.2 Section B: Post-Development Two post-development cases were assessed for the approximate RV campsite location and the approximate glamping pod location in Section B. Case 1 (Figure 6) demonstrates the post-development conditions for the approximate glamping pod location. The achieved FOS was 1.5 based on a minimum setback distance of approximately 10 m from the toe of the slope. Glamping pods near Section B should be constructed at a minimum distance of 10 m or greater from the toe of this slope.
Case 2 (Figure 7) demonstrates the post-development condition for the approximate RV campsite location. With a minimum horizontal setback distance of approximately 3 m from the crest of the slope, the achieved FOS was 1.7. This achieved FOS is above the industry standard of 1.5. The RV campsite locations near Section B should be constructed with a minimum setback distance of 3 m or greater from the crest of this slope.
PROJECT NO. 2020-5078 E2K ENGINEERING LTD
E103
6 a) - 07 Oct 2020 Page 128 of 230 LITTLE BOW LAKESIDE RETREAT 8
6.2.3 Section C: Post-Development Two post-development cases were assessed for Section C, one for the approximate RV campsite location and one for the approximate glamping pod location.
Case 1 (Figure 9) demonstrates the post-development condition of the approximate glamping pod location. The achieved FOS was 1.3, based on an approximate horizontal setback distance of 3 m from the crest of the slope. A FOS of 1.3 could be considered acceptable in this location as the introduction of glamping pods on screw piles does not negatively impact the stability of this slope. In addition, the glamping pods could be considered a non-permanent structure that would not be impacted by minor surficial slumping and sloughing due to the screw pile foundation. Glamping pod locations must be constructed at a minimum setback distance of 3 m or greater from the crest of this slope.
Case 2 (Figure 10) demonstrates the post-development conditions for the approximate RV campsite location. With an approximate horizontal setback distance of 24 m from the crest of the slope, an acceptable FOS of 1.6 was achieved. Near Section C, the RV campsite locations should be constructed at a minimum setback distance of 24 m or greater from the crest of this slope.
6.2.4 Sections D and H: Post-Development Post-development analyses of Sections D and H were assessed in Figures 12 and 22, respectively.
The post-development case for Section D assessed the RV campsite location. An acceptable FOS of 1.6 was achieved with an approximate horizontal setback distance of 15 m from the crest of the slope. The RV campsite location should be constructed at a minimum setback distance of 15 m or greater from the crest of the slope near Section D.
The post-development case for Section H provided an assessment of the same RV campsite location, but along the slope towards an existing house located on the property. An acceptable FOS of 1.7 was achieved with an approximate setback distance of 15 m from the crest of this slope. Therefore, the RV campsite location should be constructed at a minimum setback distance of 15 m or greater from the crest of the slope near Section H.
During our site inspection, it was noted that the toe of the slope near the house at the bottom of Section H had been excavated away. A temporary wooden fence was observed at the toe of the slope, possibly to contain sloughing material. E2K’s site survey along Section H did not evaluate and assess the stability of the slope toe and the wooden retaining wall. E2K’s slope assessment along Section H only assessed the approximate

E104
6 a) - 07 Oct 2020 Page 129 of 230 LITTLE BOW LAKESIDE RETREAT 9
location of the RV campsite. It is understood that the existing house is not included in the proposed campground development and therefore was not part of this slope stability assessment. If not already completed, we would recommend that the stability of the toe of this slope and the suitability of the wooden retaining wall be evaluated to prevent future slope or wall failure.
6.2.5 Section E: Post-Development Post-development analyses of Section E are provided in Figures 14 and 15. Case 1 provides an analysis of the glamping pod location, while Case 2 provides an assessment of the campground rental shack. It is understood that the rental shack’s foundation wall has been designed by others to retain the slope toe, and the slope toe around the rental shack will be restored to its original conditions.
For Case 1 (Figure 14), a FOS of 1.7 was achieved, indicating that the proposed glamping pod location approximately 33 m from the bottom of the slope, is acceptable. The glamping pods near Section E should be constructed at a minimum setback of 33 from the toe of the slope.
For Case 2 (Figure 15), a FOS of 1.7 was achieved, indicating that restoration of the slope toe and the rental shack location will be acceptable. The structural engineer of the rental shack foundation should ensure the slope is considered for the design of the foundation wall. Additional comments on toe cut restoration can be found in Section 6.3.
6.2.6 Section F: Post-Development The post-development analyses for Section F include an analysis of the proposed glamping pod location (Case 1) as well as a proposed retaining wall at the toe of the slope (Case 2). E2K was retained to provide a design package for the proposed retaining wall under separate cover.
For Case 1 (Figure 17), a FOS of 1.3 was achieved, indicating that the proposed glamping pod location approximately 6 m from the crest of the slope, is acceptable. The glamping pods near Section F should be constructed at a minimum setback of 6 m from the crest of this slope.
For Case 2 (Figure 18), a FOS of 1.3 was achieved when evaluating the overall stability of the slope with a proposed retaining wall located along the slope, behind the groundkeeper’s dorm. As the slope toe was cut in this location, the retaining wall is necessary to improve both local and global stability. The minimum gravity mass, or reinforced zone for a retaining wall constructed at this location will need to be a minimum of 1.5 m deep, with a minimum burial depth of 200 mm. The more stringent of these, or the internal design requirements will govern the final retaining wall design.

6.2.7 Section G: Post-Development The post-development analysis of Section G in Figure 20 provided an assessment of the proposed glamping pod location. The FOS achieved for this analysis was 1.3. Comparison of the pre-existing and post-development Section G analyses indicates that the introduction of the glamping pods will not decrease the existing slope’s FOS, and is therefore considered acceptable. The glamping pods near Section G should be constructed with a minimum setback of 2.5 m from the crest of the slope.
A campground facilities building currently exists at the toe of this slope. The toe of this slope was modified by the owner to create additional space and an approximately 1.0 m high near-vertical excavation was created. This excavation should be either flattened to improve local stability of the soils, or a retaining wall constructed to retain this soil. As the slope profile is shallow at the location of this excavation, global stability is not impacted by this excavation, however, the local soil stability should be addressed. Additional comments on toe cut repair can be found in Section 6.3 below.
6.3 TOE CUT REPAIR E2K was retained to provide a retaining wall package as per Section 6.2.6. In Section 6.2.5, it is understood the slope toe will be restored to its original conditions. Section 6.2.7 with toe cut restoration recommendations should either have a retaining wall system designed by a qualified geotechnical engineer or have the slope toe reconstructed. E2K can be retained for such services. If reconstruction of the slope toes is desired, the backfill material should consist of the local soils compacted to a minimum of 95% of the Standard Proctor Maximum Dry Density (SPMDD) for each lift. Backfill should no be placed in lifts such that the maximum thickness of any lift, before compaction, does not exceed 300 mm.
At any location where fill has been placed or the surficial vegetation has been removed, re-vegetation of the slope is recommended to prevent erosion. If there are locations with difficulty establishing vegetation, an erosion control blanket or coconut matting products should be utilized. Further recommendations can be provided by E2K, if re-vegetation difficulties are encountered.

7.0 SEPTIC FIELD EVALUATION As requested, a feasibility evaluation was performed for the proposed private septic fields at the noted locations (shown in Figure 1 attached). The subsurface soil and groundwater conditions were evaluated for their ability to naturally filter effluent for the proposed development. Filtration is anticipated to be downslope, towards the Travers Reservoir.
As per Alberta Safety Codes Council - Alberta Private Sewage Systems Standards of Practice Guidelines (APSSSPG), particle size analyses can be used to classify the soil and its suitability to function as a subsurface effluent disposal system. Borehole BH-02 and BH-05 were drilled within the proposed septic field locations and samples were obtained to determine the particle size distributions. Soil conditions encountered within borehole BH-04 were also considered in conjunction with BH-05 due to its proximity to the proposed septic field near the club house. Sample locations, depths, and grain size distributions are outlined in the table below.
Table 4: Grain Size Analysis Grain Size Distribution Sample (%) Borehole Depth (m) Clay Silt Sand
BH-02 0.9 37 62 1 BH-02 2.5 24 37 39 BH-05 1.5 24 39 38 BH-05 3.0 18 37 45
Based on the results above, the on-site soils are classified as a Silty Clay Loam (SICL) between 0-1.5 m below grade in BH-02, as a Loam (L) greater than 1.5 m below grade in BH-02, and as a Loam (L) in BH-05 as per APSSSPG. The guideline states that a full grain size analysis will provide a maximum effluent loading rate that the soil is capable of handling while functioning properly. Bases on the results above and with reference to Table 8.1.1.10 (APSSSPG), the loading rates outlined below may be used with respect to the effluent quality being utilized.

Effluent Soil Effluent Loading Treatment Quality (mg/L Type Rate (L/day/m2) [CBOD5]) Loam Primary 30 - 150 14.7 Loam Secondary <30 22.0
Effluent loading rates were determined by using a soil characteristic and structure of weak granular silty clay loam and moderate granular loam in BH-02. In BH-05, effluent loading rates were determined by using a soil characteristic and structure of weak granular loam.
The local groundwater table should also be greater than 2.5 m below the effluent discharge point. As mentioned in Section 4.3, 25 mm PVC standpipes were installed in every borehole for groundwater level monitoring. From the results of boreholes BH-02, BH-04, and BH-05, static groundwater level recordings as being dry, 8.1 mbgs, and 6.2 mbgs, respectively, were encountered. The readings being greater than 2.5 mbgs indicate an effluent treatment field is suitable with respect to groundwater elevations at the proposed locations (approximately near BH-02 and BH-05).
Proper system operation is dependent on the rate of absorption on the on-site soils. Effluent which is able to travel quickly through the filtering medium will results in improper filtration. Conversely, a filtering medium which does not allow effluent to discharge quickly enough may experience plugging of the soil. At this time, the volumes of effluent expected for the proposed development has not yet been determined. Should the volume of effluent exceed the loading rates mentioned above, a percolation test or tests will be required to

verify the filtering capabilities of the soils. Alternatively, conventional septic tanks can be utilized.

MEDIA MANAGEMENT
NOTE: To prevent nuisance calls by media - which tie up valuable staff and phone resources, all emergency situations will be managed in the following manner.
1. No private phone access will be allowed during emergency situations. 2. Guests are requested not to contact outside agencies except at the direction of the Little Bow Lakeside Retreat staff or the group leader(s). 3. Refer all media inquiries to the relevant emergency services. 4. Media access to the site and to guests is not allowed except where police dictate otherwise.
If necessary, a media point will be set up at the discretion of the relevant emergency services.
Note: The media could arrive before the emergency services and should be met on arrival by either Little Bow Lakeside Retreat staff or Group Leader. Request that they remain away from the main retreat area and do not allow them access to the guests. Offer no comment on the emergency and refer them to the police or emergency services when they arrive.

ROUTINE INCIDENTS
Electrical Failure Electrical failure may cause a blackout. The main electrical switch is located on the electrical panel in the groundkeeper’s dorm kitchen on the back wall. Battery backup will allow hard wired smoke detectors to still operate. Emergency battery operated lights are fitted in the groundkeeper’s dorm and in the enclosed shelter.
RESPONSE:
1. Notify Little Bow Lakeside Retreat staff who will investigate. 2. Continue on with retreat program if during the day. 3. During the night and if deemed necessary, direct guests to assemble in the enclosed shelter, conduct a head count, handout flashlights if need be. 4. If guests have retired to their accommodations, visit each accommodation and provide guests with flashlights if during the night. 5. Meals will still be available. 6.

Landscape Plan for Little Bow Lakeside Retreat
RV Site Specific Planting
70 RV sites to be landscaped with one large tree per site to help provide shade, color and or fruit combined with 2 smaller bush fruits to provide interest through fruits. Groves of trees will be planted so that proper pollination can occur. Apple trees will be in close proximity to appropriate plant materials. Apples, plums and pears are very particular and the right plants need to be chosen.
15 native, non- fluffing poplar to be filled into common area to provide necessary shade. These massive trees will be pruned high up and out of the way reducing fire hazard.
Inside the perimeter fence, the grass will be mowed regularly and bluffs of trees will be planted and / or maintained. Bluffs instead of a wall of forest makes fire control easier.

RV sites 33 to 73 will repeat the above pattern.
Campground Perimeter Planting
Alfalfa and or Dutch Clover remain green and growing through the growing season. When planted along a railroad track, sparks from the train are suppressed because of the greenery. Even in the fall, sparks are hard pressed to catch and they spark out.
Perimeter plants for a physical barrier and privacy are to be planted on the west and south side. Where the terrain permits, 8 feet of alfalfa will be planted in strips followed by an 8-foot strip of summer fallow. The perimeter line of trees is planned to be planted next. Planting through black plastic is recommended for the line of trees. The black plastic will greatly reduce suckering and allow the trees to be pruned into standards so that they are neat and tidy with no branches draping on the ground. This reduces fuel in the advent of a fire. 16 feet of access is most welcome when access for fire protection is required.
Seabuckthorn, Russian Olive and Buffalo Berry have been selected for fine, attractive leaves that will not build up litter as in the case of pine, spruce and poplar. Litter greatly contributes to fuel source in the case of fire.
General Area Planting
A variety of trees, bushes, and flowers will be planted inground and in planters throughout the site to enhance beauty and biodiversity.

This municipal road and driveway construction plan is intended for illustration only. A municipal road will be constructed on the government road allowance as shown on the Legal Survey on page 4, and Road Construction Drawing on page 5. The municipal road will be constructed to Resort Standards in compliance with Vulcan County Policy NO. 32-1009 Road Construction Standard. The driveways will be constructed on the subject property as shown on the Driveway Construction Drawing on page 6, in compliance with Vulcan County Private Driveway Standards Policy NO. 32-1012.
** A formal Engineering Municipal Road and Driveway Design will be procured upon the campground development plan approval **
Scope of Work
The construction of the municipal gravel road will be comprised of the following: Approximately 1 mile East-West on Township Road 145 between RGE RD 222 and 223. Approximately 1 mile North-South on RGE RD 222 between TWP RD 145 and TWP RD 150. There is a fence on the East side along RGE RD 222 on Dunham’s property, and will be replaced in compliance with Vulcan County Policy NO. 32-1008 Fencing Procedure Policy.
Road Approaches
There are 2 existing road approaches at the North end of RGE RD 222. One is to the Bird’s property and the other is to the subject property. There will be 4 new approaches constructed on the new road along TWP RD 145 and RGE RD 222 in compliance with Vulcan County Policy NO. 32-1006 Approach Construction Policy. Refer to Road Construction Drawing on page 5. These approaches are to Dunham’s Property, to Horne’s property, and onto road allowance on RGE RD 222 At Davey’s request, no road approaches are planned for access to their properties at this time until their review and acceptance of the formal Engineering Road Design. Should Daveys not accept the engineering design, than an alternate engineering design will be produced where no access to Davey’s land will be required and that will require additional fill material for road build-up.
All Road Approaches will be situated such that they will not impede water flow, and as such will not require culverts.
Culverts
There may be 4 places requiring the installation of culverts. Refer to Road Construction Drawing on page 5. 3 E173

Company name: Little Bow Lakeside Retreat Contact person: Bernie Seifert Address: Telephone:
Date: March 21, 2019 Legal structure: Corporation Owner/operators: Bernie and Emilia Seifert
Business description: The retreat will be a tourist destination catering to local and international visitors that seek a world-class eco-resort experience in glamping (glamorous/comfort camping) while relaxing and learning about the local history and culture, the importance of conserving the natural environment, and, learning and enjoying all types of water sports; as well as to those visitors that seek a world-class guided hunting and fishing experience. The retreat is situated on 26 sprawling acres with 700 meters of waterfront offering spectacular views of the lake. It is located on the Travers Reservoir, and is 175 km southeast of Calgary and 70 km north of Lethbridge. On completion in year five (2025), the retreat will be comprised of a 20,000 square foot developed clubhouse and lodge with 12 guest suites, staff dormers, 70 glamping pods (cabins), 6 teepees, 70 RV pads, enclosed shelter/function room, playground, sports field, maintenance equipment storage yard, boat rental shack, owner’s residence, and marina.
SWOT summary: The Strengths are the skills of the owner-operators, their experience, their passion, and the unique setting and character of the land. The weaknesses are that there are likely unknowns due to this being a new business, and with the focus of offering glamping experience which in itself is a relative new concept. The opportunities are that glamping is a growing trend and there is virtually no competition within 300km offering this level of service. The threat is that the local economy is still struggling; which, however, could also be an opportunity as local visitors may chose to stay near home for their vacation.
Go-to-market summary: Given the local and global increase in demand for glamping experience and eco-friendly resorts, the lack of competition, the unique and spectacular setting of the retreat, effective marketing, amenities, and the service-centered staff, visitors of all walks of life will be drawn to the retreat.

6 a) - 07 Oct 2020 Page 229 of 230 Executive Summary (continued…)
Mission: Given the spectacular lakeside setting of the venue, our three-part mission is to 1. Promote the region history & culture, and instill an active lifestyle by helping local and international guests reconnect with the beauty of nature in the world around them, to protect the environment we live in, while providing them with a world-class glamping experience with an exiting yet relaxing atmosphere. 2. Provide employment to the local workforce, bring diverse economic growth to the region, and to further the region’s interest by developing the business into a popular destination landmark. 3. Develop a world class facility that is environmentally friendly in every aspect from construction to the ongoing operation of the business.
Vision: Our vision is to develop the land and construct the essential facilities needed to launch by May long weekend of 2020; and to be operating at least at 5% occupancy rate with a staff of at least 2 people and a gross profit of $ 73,000 by year end 2020. In year 2 we will increase the occupancy rate to at least 10%, expand the infrastructure, services, and amenities; have a staff of at least 4 and increase the gross profit to at least $569,000 by year end 2021. In the 3rd season we will increase the occupancy rate to at least 15%, further expand the infrastructure, services, and amenities, and will have a staff of at least 10 and a gross profit of $1,300,000 by year end 2022.
Primary product or service offerings: Our primary service is to offer comfortable camping accommodation for visitors and plan special services and activities for them.
Pricing strategy: To draw the attention of visitors, our pricing strategy is to start out by pricing ourselves equally to the businesses in the area that offer a lesser level of comfort and service. Moving forward, the pricing will be adjusted according to the market demand.
Competitive advantage: Our primary competitive advantage is the very unique setting of the land: it is situated directly on a lake with spectacular views from every point, in a region that is one of the sunniest places in Canada, and with temperatures commonly reaching into the mid thirties during the summer months. Additional advantages include great hunting & fishing opportunities, various levels of hiking opportunities in the badlands, ability for visitors to rent equipment (canoes, kayaks, lawn games, camping gear, hunting & fishing gear, etc.) for their enjoyment; and the friendly and enthusiastic retreat operators that offer fluent communication in English, German, and Spanish.

Good Morning Alena.
We have reviewed the captioned Development Permit Application and determined that the property in question has an HRV value of 5a and 5p. Consequently, the applicant must obtain Historical Resources Act approval prior to proceeding with any land surface disturbance associated with development by submitting a Historic Resources Application through Alberta Culture, Multiculturalism and Status of Women’s Online Permitting and Clearance (OPaC) system ‐ www.opac.alberta.ca.
The applicant should review the Land Use Procedures Bulletin: Subdivision Development Historical Resources Act Compliance (https://open.alberta.ca/publications/subdivision‐historical‐resources‐act‐compliance) prior to OPaC submission (attached).
If you have any questions please call me at 780‐431‐2330 or email me.

Subdivision Historical Resources Act Compliance
PURPOSE: To identify the circumstances under which proposed subdivisions require Historical Resources Act approval and to provide guidelines for the submission of applications to obtain approval.
SCOPE: Subdivision applicants, developers, municipalities, and other planning authorities in Alberta.
BACKGROUND: In accordance with Section 5(5) of the Subdivision and Development Regulation, applications for subdivision of areas containing or likely to contain historic resources must be referred to Alberta Culture and Tourism. This applies equally to private and public lands.
PROCEDURES - ROUTINE:
Subdivision
The subdivision authority and/or the owner/developer must consult Alberta Culture and Tourism’s Listing of Historic Resources1 to determine if the lands that are subject to subdivision have been flagged as having a Historic Resource Value (HRV). 1. If the subject lands do not overlap areas identified in the Listing of Historic Resources, Historical Resources Act approval is not required, although the provisions of Section 31 of the Historical Resources Act still apply.2
1 Alberta Culture and Tourism’s Listing of Historic Resources is a publically available list of lands that contain, or are likely to contain, significant historic resources. Updated twice yearly, the Listing is an information resource for residential, commercial, and industrial developers and can guide the regulatory approval process. The Listing and Instructions for Use are available at: https://www.alberta.ca/listing-historic-resources.aspx.
2 It is important to note that, even if Historical Resources Act approval is not required prior to the initiation of land surface disturbance activities, or if Historical Resources Act approval has been granted, Section 31 of the Act requires that anyone who discovers a historic resource, such as an archaeological, palaeontological, historic structures or Aboriginal Traditional Use site, during the course of development activities must cease work and notify Alberta Culture and Tourism immediately for further direction on the most appropriate action. Details about who to contact can be found in Standard Requirements under the Historical Resources Act: Reporting the Discovery of Historic Resources.
Subdivision Historical Resources Act Compliance Page 1 of 3
F2 2. If the subject lands wholly or partially overlap areas identified as having an HRV of 1, 2, 3, or 4 in the Listing of Historic Resources, Historical Resources Act approval is required. A Historic Resources (HR) Application must be submitted to Alberta Culture and Tourism via the Online Permitting and Clearance (OPaC) system.3 Development activities, including any land disturbance, may not proceed until Historical Resources Act approval has been obtained in writing.4
3. If the subject lands wholly or partially overlap areas identified as having an HRV of 5 (and no other value) in the Listing of Historic Resources, Historical Resources Act approval must be obtained through the submission of an HR Application, with the following exceptions:
First parcel out 80-acre split Lot line/boundary adjustment Parcel consolidation
Subdivisions for these four purposes do not require Historical Resources Act approval if situated in lands assigned an HRV of 5 only. Subdivision of HRV 5 lands for all other purposes do require Historical Resources Act approval, and development, including any land disturbance, may not proceed until this approval has been obtained in writing.
Lands that contain, or are likely to contain, significant historic resources may require the conduct of a Historic Resources Impact Assessment (HRIA) prior to development. If required, this direction will be communicated in Alberta Culture and Tourism’s response to the HR application. An HRIA must be conducted by a qualified heritage consultant on behalf of the developer, at the developer’s expense. Results of the HRIA must be reported to Alberta Culture and Tourism and subsequent Historical Resources Act approval must be granted before development proceeds.
Where a proposed subdivision includes lands that overlap areas with HRVs on the Listing, a Subdivision Authority may choose to submit the details for review in an HR Application prior to subdivision approval or condition Historical Resource Act approval as part of their subdivision approval. In these instances, no development activities are to commence until Historical Resources Act approval has been granted.
3 Information regarding Historic Resources Applications and the OPaC system can be found at: https://www.alberta.ca/online-permitting-clearance.aspx.
4 Where Historical Resources Act approval is required, the Historic Resources Application must include all lands in the subdivision area, not just those identified as having an HRV.
Subdivision Historical Resources Act Compliance Page 2 of 3
F3 Area Structure and Redevelopment Plans
Alberta Culture and Tourism recommends that municipalities and/or developers submit for review through the OPaC system, all Area Structure Plans, Area Redevelopment Plans, and other long-term planning documents. The outcome of this review will provide the applicant with information about historic resource concerns in the planning areas and may offer guidance for developing strategies to address these concerns.
PROCEDURES – NON-ROUTINE:
Notwithstanding the instruction provided above, if Alberta Culture and Tourism is made aware of historic resource concerns associated with lands not included in the Listing of Historic Resources, direction may be given to submit an HR application. This direction is made under Section 37(2) of the Historical Resources Act and can be applied to any type of project.

Hello Alena,
Previous comments sent in for this proposal stand from a public lands perspective. No building within public lands is authorized under this subdivision application as it should be noted that applications for proposals on public land will be reviewed once a formal disposition is applied for however not all applications that maybe proposed by applicant may be permitted on public lands/reservoir lands. Setback should be 30 meters due to the nature of erosion prone reservoir/public lands in this area and setback to ensure private land developments do not encroach onto to public la nds.
Tha nk you,
Michelle

From: Alena Matlock < devassist@vu lcancou nty.ab.ca > Sent: Friday, October 2, 2020 1:31 PM To: Anne Erickson Subject: Bird concerns for Bernie's DP
HiAnne,
l.iust spoke with Jim Bird, and he has a couple of concerns that he would like addressed at the hearing for Bernie's permit. They both deal with the Shipping Containers. The site plan he has submitted for this development application has changed the siting of the shipping containers to be oriented 90 degrees differently than his current approval, as well as showing the access road entering the property on the opposite end. (The shipping container approval shows he would drive past the containers on the West and enter into his campground on the North side of them, whereas the new drawing shows the entrance occurring on the south side of the containers). He would like some clarification of which is going to be the approved siting for these if Bernie receives approval for his campground.
Also, he requests that we put a timeline on when Bernie must move the Shipping containers (to whatever settled orientation will be). A more firm timeline like "60 days from approval" or something like that, to ensure that once the road is split and sold, the Birds do not have to be beholden to Bernie's schedule for doing their own fencing along there. He also asked if there was a way to tie the moving of Bernie's fence that is currently encroaching on their property to the approval in some way as well.. which I think can be done.

Re: DP 50-2020, Bernie Seifert Campground Application
Alena Matlock received a call from Tracey Christie, regarding Mr. Seifert's pending application for a Private Campground on SW L-L5-22 W4.
Monday October 5, 2020
Ms. Christie voiced her concerns with regards to Mr. Seifert's operation, specifically about the responsible usage of water from the reservoir for the campground and her concern for damage to occur to the reservoir from improper handling of water and sewer facilities.
Secondly, Ms. Christie mentioned that the shoreline of Mr. Seifert's property is a very busy water course as it is the bottle neck of the reservoir and there is extensive boat traffic coming around that corner from the West. She is concerned that if Mr. Seifert puts in his own boat and mooring dock, and a beach/swim area along there, that someone will get hurt as the traffic volume by that shoreline is quite high.

Development Permits Development Permit 50-2020 - Seifert Private Campground SW 1-15-22 W4
Administration asked if MPC should hear the application today or not. The re-application date should be January 15, 2021, six months after the appeal board refusal.
Although Mr. Seifert had submitted a professionally drafted site plan, administration had not been made aware that the access agreements were withdrawn until the Director of Operations informed them, just before this meeting.
There are gaps in the information that administration received from Mr. Seifert.
Chair Cockwill asked MPC if they were willing to hear the application from Mr. Seifert today. Concerns brought forward were as follows: • Has a professional draft been submitted of the site plan • Has more information been brought forward since the last submission • If the major requirements have not been met, why should we hear from the applicant today • Mr. Seifert should have to wait until January 15, 2021 to come before MPC again.
Chair Cockwill asked Mr. Seifert if he was ready to present his application today. Mr. Seifert stated that he was ready today.

FOR: AGAINST: Chair Cockwill Member Fleetwood Vice Chair Logan Member Lyckman Member Schneider CARRIED
Administration spoke to the application. Administration strongly recommends that only Phase One be considered today. The Clubhouse proposal requires a separate permit, therefore a different application. Adjacent landowner concerns received were as follows: • Jim Bird o Placement of seacans o A timeline needs to be in place for the placement or moving the shipping containers • Tracey Christie o usage of water o busy water course, someone could be injured Chair Cockwill invited the applicant to the table. Mr. Bernie Seifert came forward to speak to his application. He stated that the main concern is access to his property. He will start from scratch with contractors and adjacent landowners for road agreements. Road and driveway design issues with Mr. Bird will be addressed. There is a water agreement with B.R.I.D. in place for domestic/household water. Fencing will be a five-wire fence as in the Development Permit. Power generation may be with solar panels. Sewage pickup will be in place. Potable water will be delivered for the first year. Solar & wind energy will eventually be in place. Beach and dock are on the south side where the lake is wide open. Material supplies/levelling supplies will come from within the road allowance and actual property.
Administration was led to believe that road agreements were in place. The Director of Operations stated that Mr. Seifert needs current Road and Driveway maintenance agreements. Concerns brought forward: • Road Agreements • Water License Mr. Seifert stated that he will apply for water conveyance for the campground. He currently has 330,000 gallons per year, household water rights. Mr. Seifert stated that the road needs to be done first, then development of the campground. The Director of Operations stated the there would be a large quantity of materials required for basic access to the property. Concerns brought forward: • Water conveyance, is it through B.R.I.D. or Alberta Environment • Alignment of seecans
Mr. Seifert stated that if he does take material from his property to build access, the site plan may need to be adjusted but changes will not be significant.

J6 Municipal Planning Commission - Minutes October 07, 2020 MPC 2020-10-07-11 MOVED BY MEMBER FLEETWOOD that the Municipal Planning Commission REFUSE Development Permit 50-2020 for a Private Campground as the applicant failed to demonstrate a road construction plan, which will meet the needs of the development and Vulcan County specification. While the applicant stated material for the road build would be made available from the applicants owned lands, due to the volume of road building material required, this would effectively render the current geotechnical, slope stability, and site plan information provided within the application irrelevant. The applicant failed to provide remedy for this issue. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

11. STATUTORY AND NON-STATUTORY PLANS All subdivisions and developments shall comply with any and all relevant statutory (approved by bylaw) and/or non-statutory (not approved by bylaw) planning documents approved by Council, for the subject lands.
12. ARCHITECTURAL CONTROLS All developments must comply with the approved architectural controls (e.g. if required as part of an approved area structure plan or subdivision). Proof of compliance with the approved architectural controls is required at the time of submission of a development permit application. Architectural controls that were approved as part of an Area Structure Plan or subdivision approval process are not permitted to be modified in any way without the approval of the Municipal Planning Commission.
13. AREA STRUCTURE PLANS AND DESIGN SCHEMES The Municipal Planning Commission may recommend that Council require the adoption of an area structure plan or design scheme prior to the approval of a subdivision or development application if, in the Municipal Planning Commission’s opinion, it is warranted. The following are guidelines which may be required to be provided by all applicants proposing to subdivide and/or develop land within this district.
(a) Application Requirement All applications for rural recreational land uses shall be accompanied by a duly prepared area structure plan.
(b) Servicing All applications for rural recreational residential development shall be required to provide for communal water and sewer servicing for the development. Other uses within this district may be required to provide communal servicing on the request of the Municipal Planning Commission.
(c) Conceptual Designs An application for a multi-lot proposal shall be accompanied by a detailed site plan showing all proposed lots and future development area on the said parcel. The site plan shall be drawn to scale and a copy submitted to the Development Officer when an application is filed with the municipality.
(d) Contours Where developments are proposed to be built in areas of slopes greater than 10° or where roads and water channelization are to be incorporated in the development, a detailed contour map shall be prepared for the development area.
K5 (e) Other Development Considerations The developer, in preparing the area structure plan, shall provide details regarding the following matters: • garbage disposal; • fire protection (location of on-site water reservoirs), school bus service; • location, width and turning radius of existing and proposed roadways; • access and egress to the proposal; • a statement of all the intended land uses for the development site; • types and location of fencing proposed for the development; • the environmental impacts on lands and wildlife in the immediate area.
(f) Development Agreements Pursuant to the Municipal Government Act the municipality may, at the time of subdivision or development, require the developer to enter into a development agreement for the construction of roadways and/or servicing necessary to serve the development area. NOTE: The municipality may require the developer to provide a form of security to ensure that any or all aspects of the agreement are undertaken to the satisfaction of the County.
(g) Geotechnical Reports As a requirement of the area structure plan, geotechnical reports may be required by the municipality. The said reports may require the following testing and subsequent reports to be done for: • percolation, • aquifer and groundwater analysis, • slope stability, • drainage.
(h) Architectural Controls As a development standard of the area structure plan, architectural controls are suggested to be supplied by the developer to ensure that all development in the development area is consistent with neighbouring property. These controls may be registered concurrently by a Restrictive Covenant at the time a plan of survey is filed with Land Titles Office.
(i) Phasing of Subdivision and Development The developer shall provide to the municipality a detailed time frame that outlines the timing they envision for the consideration and subsequent decision on their development and/or development application.
(j) Public Participation Process and Consultation The developer shall provide to the municipality a detailed outline of the proposed public participation process for the development and/or subdivision. An indication of the time
K6 and place of public meetings as well as consultation with the elected officials and affected community ratepayers is encouraged.
(k) Transportation Routes and Public Utilities A requirement of an area structure plan is to indicate and provide locations of existing and proposed transportation routes and public utilities which will serve the development area.
(l) Municipal Reserve Dedications Pursuant to the Municipal Government Act, the municipality may require the applicant proposing a multi-lot subdivision to provide up to 10 percent of the development area for Municipal Reserve purposes. As the municipality’s existing policy is to take money in place of land for this purpose, a market analysis provided by the developer or a price agreed upon by both parties will be used to determine the value of reserve owing on the proposal.
(m) Subdivision and Development Referrals The developer may be required to obtain other regulatory approvals from the agencies and government departments that have jurisdiction on these uses. The municipality is required to refer certain applications to various agencies and departments for their comments and consent. NOTE: A municipal approval does in no way absolve a developer from obtaining any other necessary local, provincial or federal approvals including the requirement to undertake an environmental impact assessment.
(n) Types of Subdivision The Municipal Planning Commission is the Subdivision Authority having jurisdiction in the County. An application that proposes a multi-lot subdivision shall be undertaken either by a plan of survey or by a condominium plan (if bareland is involved). NOTE: An undivided interest whereby a number of land owners are identified on one or more certificate of title does not constitute a subdivision of land.
(o) Municipal Prerogatives The municipality, at its sole discretion, may undertake any or all of the following: • adopt a duly prepared area structure plan by municipal bylaw which will govern subsequent subdivision and development of the specific area, • may change any or all of the guidelines or requirements outlined in the above- noted sections, • may waive the requirements to provide any of the information discussed in these guidelines, • may require the developer to provide any additional information not addressed or contemplated in these guidelines.
K7 14. RIVER VALLEYS AND SHORELANDS (a) Before approving any application to locate or expand a land use in or adjacent to a river valley or shoreland area, the Development Officer or Municipal Planning Commission shall refer such an application to any local, regional, or federal government agency that, in its opinion, has an interest in land use management. (b) No application to locate or expand a land use in or adjacent to a river valley or shoreland area shall be approved unless, in the opinion of the Municipal Planning Commission, the proposal will not: (i) be located in a flood prone area; (ii) cause soil erosion or damage to a river bank; (iii) cause deterioration of water quality; (iv) hinder the flow of water to the river; (v) compromise aesthetic quality or natural amenities; (vi) be detrimental to area of ecologically sensitive habitat or of historic or scenic importance; (vii) have a detrimental effect on adjoining or nearby agricultural operations if the proposed development is of a non-agricultural use; (viii) have a detrimental effect on existing or proposed recreation areas; (ix) have a detrimental effect on existing or proposed irrigation canals or water diversion structures. (c) Where a proposed development is granted permission to locate within the one in one hundred year floodplain of any watercourse, the Municipal Planning Commission may request the developer to provide any of the following requirements prior to the issuance of a development permit: (i) the registration of a Save Harmless Agreement against the title indemnifying the municipality in case of a subsequent flood causing damage to the development; (ii) the provision of an appropriate private sewage disposal system to the satisfaction of the appropriate health authority; (iii) a certificate from a qualified Alberta Land Surveyor stating the top of the footings of any proposed development will be at or above the one in one hundred floodplain level; (iv) an assurance that any proposed setback requirements as established by a provincial government department are met or exceeded.
15. CORNER LOT RESTRICTION On a corner lot nothing shall be erected, placed, planted or allowed to grow in such a manner as to materially impede vision between a height of 0.9 and 3.0 m (3 and 10 ft.) above the centre line grades of the intersecting streets in the area bounded by the property lines of such corner lots and a line joining points along the said property lines 7.6 m (25 ft.) from the point of intersection (see Figure 1).

17. FENCES (a) No fence, wall, hedge or any combination thereof, lying within the minimum required front yard setback area of the right-of-way of a public roadway (excluding lanes) shall extend more than 0.9 m (3 ft.) above the ground (except in the case of corner lots where one yard is considered as the side yard) unless permitted by the Municipal Planning Commission (see Figure 2).
Figure 2 (b) Fences enclosing rear and side yards shall not exceed 1.8 m (6 ft.) in height.
K9 18. RETAINING WALLS The Municipal Planning Commission may require the construction of a retaining wall as a condition of development if, in its opinion, significant differences in grade exist or will exist between the parcel being developed and adjacent parcels.
19. LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING (a) The front yard (except for sidewalks and driveways) shall be landscaped to the satisfaction of the Development Officer. (b) In the case of corner lots, the minor street frontage shall also be landscaped to the satisfaction of the Development Officer. (c) No non-residential development shall be allowed which may interfere with the amenity of residential areas and the Municipal Planning Commission may: (i) require it be screened to minimize conflict between residential and non-residential land uses; or (ii) may refuse it if the potential conflict cannot be resolved.
20. PARK MODEL RECREATIONAL UNITS The following restrictions are to apply to Park Model Recreational Units listed as a discretionary use in this District and that are outside of approved campgrounds or the areas specific in Section 2 of this District. (a) The Municipal Planning Commission shall only issue a development permit for a Park Model Recreational Unit if in its opinion the unit is to only be used for intermittent seasonal residential/recreational use. (b) The Municipal Planning Commission may, as a condition of development permit, limit or prohibit the type or extent of certain service connections that may be connected to a Park Model Recreational Unit in order to ensure that the unit is only to be used for intermittent seasonal recreational use. (C) A Park Model Recreational Unit that has been modified so as to meet Part 9 of the Alberta Building Code shall not be subject to the above limitations.
21. STANDARDS OF DEVELOPMENT – see Schedule 4
22. ALTERNATIVE / RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENTS – see Schedule 5
K10 The majority of grouped country residential/recreational development is concentrated around McGregor Lake Reservoir and Travers Reservoir. There are currently eight developments varying in size from three to five acre parcels to smaller cottage lots with private water Reservoir and sewer systems. Due to the proximity of the reservoirs, several developments offer recreational facilities and amenities such as beach areas and boat Development launches.
It is important to note that McGregor Lake Reservoir, Travers Reservoir, Little Bow River Reservoir and Badger Lake Reservoir were developed as key components of the Bow River Irrigation District’s delivery system and the primary purpose of the reservoirs is for irrigation rather than recreation. In order to protect the water quality of these reservoirs and any future reservoirs, the County will only accept proposals on the lakeshore with condominium-style ownership with water treatment and sanitary sewage treatment plants.
OBJECTIVES: • To accommodate future demand for residential and recreational development where practical to do so, and on suitable sites. • To ensure the negative impacts of residential and recreational development on the irrigation and water supply function of the reservoirs are minimized. • To adopt criteria which will guide planning decisions on future development and subdivision applications. • To ensure a mixture of means for access to the reservoirs is provided. • To minimize the impact of development on the natural environment, in particular, any identified environ-mentally significant areas.
L1 POLICIES: 3.1 The Council should commence a review of all planning documents pertaining to areas adjacent to reservoirs and water bodies and should prepare and adopt updated area structure plan(s) to implement lakeshore management policies and regulate development.
3.2 In evaluating proposals for new reservoir development, the physical characteristics of the site shall be carefully assessed.
3.3 All applications for resort residential development shall be required to provide for communal water and sewer servicing for the development. Other uses within this district may be required to provide communal servicing on request.
3.4 All applications for resort residential uses shall be accompanied by a duly prepared area structure plan.
