- Industrial District; and
A portion of the SE% 8-19- i 4-W4M from A -Agricultural District to
GC -General Commercial District.
The Planner presented background information on this application. A
letter from the City of Brooks was received in which the following
concerns were noted:
a) the amount of land proposed for industrial without supporting
material to justify the need for such a use when other industrial
subdivisions have vacant parcels;
b) no planning rationale provided to justify industrial land use
adjacent to residential Land use with the City of Brooks or
within the County of Newell No. 4;
c) no comprehensive plan included with the proposal to
demonstrate that proper buffering will occur between non-
compatible land uses;
d) no supporting transportation frame work or analysis to
demonstrate that the existing transportation network can
support this amount of industrial activity at this location;
e) no supporting information to demonstrate that storm water
management can effectively occur within this area of the
County; and
f) no supporting information to demonstrate that servicing of this
site can effectively occur with this area of the County.
The letter also suggested that a Concept Plan should be provided as
part of the application process, and requested that the County refer
this application to the Joint Planning Committee as provided for
under the Town of Brooks/County of Newell Intermunicipal
Development Plan (IMDP). A letter was also received from Alberta
Infrastructure and Transportation, with the following comments:
a) a Traffic Impact Assessment would have to be prepared by a
qualified transportation professional, and reviewed by Alberta
1&T;
Regular Council Minutes Page 7
March 8, 2007
b) the site would need to include adequate physical feature to
ensure thaf the proposed subdivision/development is
compatible with the adjacent provincial highway system, such
c) as landscaping and/or berming, to provide visual screening
from the highway; and
d) any new development that is proposed in the vicinity of
Highway 1 will require the benefit of a Roadside Development
Permit from Alberta 1&T.
The Planner did note that these concerns could be dealt with at the
subdivision stage, and stated that second and third readings of Bylaw
1602-07 will not be heard until the City's request for a joint meeting
has taken place.
Reeve Douglass reviewed the procedures that would be followed for
the hearing.
Cory Baksa, agent for Butch Martin, stated her concern that this
application won't happen until the date of a joint meeting. She
commented that the IMDP was adopted by both municipalities, that
this application is following that law, and why does the IMDP need to
be looked at. She respectfully requested that Council look at second
and third reading of the bylaw today.
There were several questions from Council that were addressed by
the Planner.
b. 07 LUA 001 -Bylaw 1603-07 - NW 12-19-15-W4M -Division 5
Tim Albers (Owner) /Cory Baksa (Applicant) (Approx 157.94 acres)
A -Agricultural District to I -Industrial District
Reeve Douglass called the Public Hearing to order at 11:28 a.m.
The County Administrator stated that the purpose of the Public
Hearing was to hear representations on Bylaw 1603-07. Bylaw 1603-
07 is a bylaw to amend Land Use Bylaw 1443-03 by rezoning a
portion of the NW'/a 12-19-15-W4M from A -Agricultural District to 1-
Indusfrial District.
The Planner presented background information on this application. A
letter from the City of Brooks was received in which the following
concerns were noted:
a) the amount of land proposed for industrial without proper
supporting information to justify the need for such a use within
an area that has no statutory planning framework;
Regular Council Minutes Page 8
March 8, 2007
b) a statutory planning framework should be in place for the Jo-
Ann Trucking Road west of the Lakeside Road to Hwy 36
before considering applications to change the land use from
agricultural to industrial; and
c) it may be prudent to have the northern half of the quarter
section be amended to industrial and maintain an agricultural
base on the southern half of this quarter. This would be
similar to that found within the quarter to the east of the
subject property.
The City is requesting that the County also refer this application to a
Joint Planning Committee meeting before second and third readings
of Bylaw 1603-07.
Cory Baksa, agent for Tim Albers, stated that her comments toward
this application are the same as for the previous item. She
commented that she has no problems with regard to this application
being referred to a Joint Planning Committee meeting, and hopes this
process does not take too long.
