Although a portion of the Plan Area is already developed, this ASP will provide consistency and assurance throughout the Plan Area for future subdivision, development, or redevelopment. 1.1 HISTORY The development of the Plan Area has occurred largely in a fragmented manner beginning in 1962 with the subdivision of a 20-acre parcel located in the southwest corner of the property. In 1975 the remainder was subdivided in half, which in turn prompted interest in potential multi-lot residential development within the northern half of the quarter section. The development of the existing country residential subdivision (Kayton Estates) occurred in five separate phases over a period of approximately ten years beginning in 1992. All rezonings and subsequent subdivision applications were approved, under various circumstances, and all without an approved area structure plan in place to provide appropriate guidance or consideration of potential impacts on the existing transportation infrastructure. Since 2010, various landowners within Kayton Estates have expressed interest in resubdividing their larger 3-acre country residential lots into smaller 1 to 2-acre parcels in accordance with the Red Deer County Land Use Bylaw. To date, two lots have been resubdivided and a third resubdivision was recently considered for approval; however, it was denied by the County’s Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) on the grounds that an area redevelopment plan would first need to be adopted prior to any further resubdivisions of existing country residential lots. The County’s decision was appealed; however, the Municipal Government Board (MGB) denied the appeal. In its ruling (Board Order: MGB033/18) the Municipal Government Board stated, “an ASP is necessary at this point, to address transportation safety concerns caused by the potential for an increase in density in the quarter section… an ASP for the subject quarter section will provide planning information for future subdivision applications and allow for consultation with the surrounding municipalities.” 1.1.1 Public Consultation On March 21, 2019, a public open house was held at the Comfort Inn and Suites in Sylvan Lake to share information about the proposed Kayton Estates ASP with any interested parties. An advertisement for the event was placed in the Sylvan Lake newspaper, and a notice was place on the Lacombe County website in their news section. In addition to these methods of advertisement, the ASP applicant contacted existing Kayton Estates property owners personally. During the event, a formal PowerPoint presentation was made to give a comprehensive overview of the project’s history, proposed concept plan, and required planning process moving forward. A copy of the presentation and display boards used during the event can be found in Appendix D Public Information Session Materials. 1-1 KAYTON ESTATES AREA STRUCTURE PLAN Bylaw X-2019 Section 1.0 Introduction Attendance at the event was estimated around 10 with 8 individuals officially signing in. Attendees were comprised of Kayton Estates landowners, and those living in the nearby community of Jarvis Bay. In addition to the ASP applicant and Stantec consultants, representatives from Red Deer County were also present to field questions. Following the Public Information Session, formal feedback was gathered from 5 persons: 2 as submitted during the event and 3 after the event; all existing residents of Kayton Estates. All the feedback received has been included in Appendix D Public Information Session Materials for reference. As shown, the feedback supported the Kayton Estates ASP and future subdivision, when completed in alignment with the ASP. 1.2 INTERPRETATION Where the words “may”, “should”, “shall” are used in the Kayton Estates ASP they are to be interpreted as follows: “May” policies indicate support in principle with the required level of compliance to be determined by the applicable authority. “Should” policies mean compliance in principle is required but subject to the discretion of the applicable authority. “Shall” policies are mandatory and must be complied with. Council and Administration of Red Deer County shall endeavor to achieve the goals and objectives of the Kayton Estates ASP through the implementation of the Plan’s policies in all applicable planning, subdivision and development processes. 1.2.1 Financial / Budgetary Considerations The ASP includes policies that may require municipal funding to achieve successful implementation. In accordance with the Municipal Government Act, the Plan does not commit County Council to any future funding decisions. The funding for any future
