8.1 Update - North Headgates Area Redevelopment Plan (SW 5-18-14-W4)
The Manager of Planning & Development provided an update on this item,
indicating that correspondence received this morning from Scheffer Andrew Ltd.
has been circulated to Council. The Manager of Planning & Development
reported that Scheffer Andrew Ltd. has been retained by R. Rede/back to
complete engineering and planning work and to revise the North Headgates Area
Redevelopment Plan. A site inspection was also conducted to determine the
condition and location of the septic systems, the state of the dwellings, the
location of potable water, and other areas of concern. The Manager of Planning
& Development indicated that the next step will be to determine timelines, but
Scheffer Andrew Ltd. and R. Rede/back must make decisions on how to proceed
before this can be done.
R. Redelback provided an update on the access road on the west side of the site,
indicating that there will be a meeting with the Eastern Irrigation District regarding
this on September 25, 2015. He indicated that options for the septic fields must
be determined before the agreement with Scheffer Andrew Ltd. can be finalized.
Council was given the opportunity to ask questions. Councillor B. de Jong
expressed concerns regarding fire protection, environmental issues, and
access. He asked how Scheffer Andrew Ltd. has been engaged to work through
these issues. R. Redelback replied that the access will be discussed at the
Eastern Irrigation District Board Meeting on September 25, 2015. He indicated
that he would find out the results from the site inspection with D. Morin, Field
Inspector/Private Sewage Disposal and work with Scheffer Andrew Ltd. to correct
any issues. Councillor B. de Jong asked if someone has been engaged to
investigate environmental issues. R. Redelback replied that he was unsure who
would be doing that work yet.

The County Planner requested clarification regarding the timelines within which
Scheffer Andrew Ltd. expects to complete the Area Redevelopment Plan as
County staff were directed to investigate potential stop orders. R. Redelback
replied that he could not answer that question at this time as he only received the
confirmation letter from Scheffer Andrew Ltd. this morning. Councillor
W. Hammergren suggested that the deadline be extended one month in order for
R. Redelback to determine timelines for addressing the environmental, septic,
and fire protection concerns. The County Planner suggested that two weeks
should be enough time to clarify outstanding details, get a signed contract, and
establish timelines. Discussion followed. R. Redelback indicated that the road
access is critical to the Area Redevelopment Plan and he will not know whether
that will be resolved within two weeks. Councillor B. de Jong indicated that
environmental concerns exist regardless of whether that access is there and
stressed the importance of a plan being developed to assure Council that
progress continues to be made. This item will be discussed further during the
September 24, 2015 Council Meeting.

The Director of Corporate Services provided background information on this item

the property is sold to repay the taxes. In this case, the County owns the
property and the former owner would like to make arrangements to pay the
taxes. He noted that the property is being advertised for sale and the owner
would be entitled to receive any excess proceeds from the sale but would not
have the right to reclaim the property after it has been sold to another party. The
Director of Corporate Services indicated that Council has forgiven the municipal
portion of property taxes twice in the past where structures were destroyed by
fire. He responded to questions from Council regarding potential contamination
of the property by underground fuel tanks, indicating that the landowners have an
engineer's report confirming that the tanks are sound. The Chief Administrative
Officer indicated that tax repayment is typically done by agreement and as long
as the landowner meets the terms of the repayment schedule, the County cannot

Assessment & Taxation Clerk is drafting an agreement. Council directed the

not be forgiven.
