6. SUBDIVISIONS
6.1 Subdivision 2024-0-006 To subdivide an ± 8.6-hectare (21.18 acres)
parcel from the SW 11-21-18W4M and a±0.67-hectare (1.66 acres)
parcel from the NW 11-21-18 W4M that are cut off from the remainder
of the quarters by Highway #1.
The Supervisor of Planning and Development provided background information
on this item and responded to questions from MPC. MPC questioned why a
deferred caveat is being considered. Historically, large parcels that remain
agricultural, municipal reserve has been deferred by caveat. When it is
subdivided further then municipal reserve would be applicable.
P-55/24 MOVED BY COUNCILLOR LYNETTE KOPP that the MPC approve, with
conditions, the subdivision of an ± 8.57-hectare (21.18 acres) parcel from the
SW 11-21-18W4M and a ± 0.67-hectare (1.66 acres) parcel from the NW 11-21-
18W4M that are cutoff from the remainder of the quarters by HWY 1, for
agriculture purposes for the following reasons:
1. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the South Saskatchewan
Regional Plan and complies with the County of Newell Municipal
Development Plan, and the Land Use Bylaw.
2. The Subdivision Authority is satisfied that the proposed subdivision is suitable
for the purpose for which the subdivision is intended pursuant to Section 7 of
the Subdivision and Development Regulations.
