Jock Airth spoke in opposition to the bylaw indicating the following:
- the road was built to industrial strength so it would seem that the area should be zoned
industrial;
- with the amount of oil traffic already in the area, an increase in residential development
could result in an increase in accidents;
- the area has numerous pipelines (Mr. Airth presented copies of oil leases showing
existing in ground pipeline structures.), existing wells and HZS which would restrict
residential growth;
- the requirement for development to be 100 metres from any pipeline would not allow for
residential development;

r- within Town boundaries had been mis-identified and questioning the density of the
residential developments.
The applicant was given the opportunity for rebuttal. The Planner indicated that the
recommendation of EBA Consultant Ltd. was to revert the area back to predominantly
agricultural land and not to change the designation for the SE 34-19-14-W4 orBlockA, Plan
7910693.

for 6.3 km (3.9 miles) along Highway 542 from the Town of Brooks Boundary west
to Highway 36 including land 0.8 km (0.5 miles) north and south of Highway 542.

- the proposed land uses for the area;

presentation.

The Reeve asked if there was anyone wishing to speak in opposition to the bylaw.
Collette Lutke, on behalf of residents located adj acent to Meadows Par 3 Golf Course,
spoke in opposition to the bylaw indicating the following:
- their opposition to the zoning of the area north of them to commercial;
- a commercial zone would defeat the goals and objectives of the ASP as
commercial would increase traffic;
- commercial zoning would not be compatible to residential area south of Highway
542;
- it will diminish safety for residents;
- residents from all 17 houses in her subdivision were opposed to the commercial
zoning;
- with the residents from this subdivision and the patrons of the golf course there
is already significant traffic entering onto Highway 542 in this location;
- when entering Highway 36 from this intersection, there is a blind spot to the left;
- there was concern over the increased noise level a commercial subdivision would
provide.
Ms. Lutke presented a letter, with 26 signatures, stating their opposition to the zoning
of S '/2 3-19-15-W4 as commercial.
Council was given the opportunity to ask questions of Ms. Lutke.
r
Councillor Harbinson asked what she would suggest for zoning of that area.
Reeve Daniels spoke on the noise from trucks idling should this area be developed as
commercial.
Councillor Loewen indicated that if this area is zoned for residential, there would still
be a significant increase in traffic with the same traffic concerns as commercial.
The Reeve asked if there was anyone else wishing to speak in opposition to the bylaw.
Don Cox, on behalf of Meadows Par 3 Golf Course, spoke in opposition to the bylaw
indicating the following:
- the neighbours east of the golf course are opposed to commercial development
on the north side of Highway 542 across from the golf course;
- Young Road would be a better location for commercial development.
Council was given the opportunity to ask questions of Mr. Cox. There were no
questions.
Charles Sieberer spoke in opposition to the bylaw expressing the following concerns:
- the real opposition is if you have 15 houses which are in the value of 200 to 300
thousand dollars and commercial is across the road, it would devalue their
property;
- he does not want to see quonsets or shacky development;
- the new houses along Highway 542 would look directly into the proposed
commercial development;
- a quality housing development or agriculture would make the most sense for that;
- he was against anything which would lower their property value.
Council was given the opportunity to ask questions of Mr. Sieberer. There were no
questions.
The Reeve asked if there was anyone wishing to comment on the bylaw.
.~-
Rod Wilson indicated that he would like to see the front portion of the NW 36-18-15-
W4 zoned commercial. He was informed that, although the plan didn't indicate such,
it had already been changed.
Mike Wenner, P & H Oilfield Maintenance Ltd., indicated that he would like the
proposed zoning for the NE 34-18-15-W4 changed from residential as he already has
an oilfield service in the area and would like to re-zone to expand to light fabrication.
Council was given the opportunity to question Mr. Wenner.
Councillor Loewen asked him the size of the parcel he owns.
Councillor Baksa asked how long the oilfield service had been there.
Carl Fortin asked to speak in favour of the re-zoning and presented a letter indicating
that Range Road 150 is perfect for commerciaUindustrial development, especially with
the proximity to Lakeside.
Council was given the opportunity to question Mr. Fortin.
Reeve Daniels asked Mr. Fortin about the T-intersection where Range Road 150
intersects Highway 542 and the possibility of a service road to alleviate traffic
congestion at this location.
Reeve Daniels asked Mr. Wenner what he would think if we brought Range Road 150
across through his property.
Mr. Wenner indicated that he thought that when Young Road was built up, the idea
was to keep traffic light on Highway 542. The Reeve replies that the Town vas not
in agreement with this. Councillor Harbinson stated that the overlay made this an
unbanned road allowing any type of traffic. He was also told that the County now has
no say on this road as the Provincial Government has taken over it.
The applicant was given the opportunity for rebuttal. The Planner chose not to give
a rebuttal.

The Reeve asked if there were any further questions or concerns.
There being no further discussion, the Reeve declared the Public Hearing closed at
