8. SUBDIVISIONS
8.1 2022-0-009 - NE 16-15-15-W4, To subdivide a 2.98 hectare (7.37 acre) parcel from
the 64.44 hectare (159.14 acre) parcel of NE 16-15-15-W4 for residential purposes
The Supervisor of Planning & Development provided background information on
the proposed subdivision application.
MPC asked if it would make sense to move the proposed dotted lines lying south
of the access road and move the boundary north of the access road. The applicant
responded that the south boundary layout was at the request of the buyer. The
applicant indicated that Toren Energy submitted a letter indicating that the access
road will be removed once the well it leads to has been abandoned.
MPC inquired on the odd shape of the proposed parcel. The applicant replied that
the new owner requested as much property as possible to accommodate a new
pivot.
There was discussion regarding EiD irrigation and residential water and the
Supervisor of Planning & Development indicated that the surveyor works with the
EID to ensure all conditions are met and signed off.
The applicant informed MPC that the hay shed removal would take place during
the winter months and asked if it was possible to proceed with the subdivision and
sale prior to confirmation of removal. A discussion followed and it was agreed that
it would be a few months by the time all conditions were complete.
P-58/22 MOVED BY COUNCILLOR DAN SHORT That the MPC approve the subdivision of an
approximate 2.98 hectare (7.37 acre) parcel from the 64.44 hectare (159.14 acre) parcel
of NE 16-15-15-W4 for residential purposes subject to the following conditions:
