The Administrator stated that the purpose of the Public Hearing was to
hear representations on Bylaw 1574-06. Bylaw 1574-06 is a bylaw to
amend Land Use Bylaw 1443-03 by rezoning a portion of the NE 13-

District.
The County Planner gave the background on this application. Letters
of opposition to this application were received.
Reeve Douglass did not review the procedures that would be followed
for the hearing as there were no additional individuals present.
Tom Parker, speaking on behalf of the applicant, stated that Country
Residential zoning is what the applicant has applied for, not Country
Residential 2, and that it is not the applicant's intention to build
numerous homes on the parcel. He also expressed concern that the
CR2 zoning could lead to more industry in the area.
Hugh Ham, legal counsel speaking in opposition to this application on
behalf of Gordon Gallup, stated the predominant use in the area is
Agricultural and uses that are compatible within an Agricultural District
should be encouraged; that the area is not suited for a hamlet type
development; that this application should not be approved unless
evidence is presented that the groundwater will not be impacted; that
the road in question is not exceptionally busy; that this application is
not in keeping with good planning; and that the cumulative impact
must be considered.
Several individuals in opposition to this application stated their
concerns as follows:
• that more commercial businesses will occur in the area if Country
Residential 2 zoning is approved;
• this application should be considered for Country Residential
zoning as there are other parcels in the area zoned Country
Residential already;
• that a hamlet could be built on the parcel if residential zoning is
approved;
• to whom the applicant will sell homes to in future; increased
vehicular traffic in the area; water and sewer concerns;
• the application is not compatible with farming operations;
• Country Residential zoning is out of place.
Those in favour of this application in their rebuttal stated:
Regular Council Minutes Page 9
June 8, 2006
• their objection to Country Residential 2 zoning but that this
,~ application should be considered for Country Residential zoning as
there are other parcels in the area zoned Country Residential
already;
• a gas well on the site in question limits the number of homes that
can be built on the parcel; and
• they do not oppose further Country Residential zoning as there is
already Country Residential in place.

A -Agricultural District to AI -Agricultural Industrial District
Reeve Douglass called the Public Hearing to order at 11:40 a.m.
The Administrator stated that the purpose of the Public Hearing was to
hear representations on Bylaw 1568-06. Bylaw 1568-06 is a bylaw to
amend Land Use Bylaw 1443-03 by rezoning portions of the NW 22-

Agricultural Industrial District.
r,..., The County Planner gave the background on this application.
Numerous letters in opposition to this application have been received,
and two telephone calls from property owners in favour of the request
have been received.
Reeve Douglass did not review the procedures that would be followed
for the hearing as there were no additional individuals present.
Barry Miskuski, legal counsel representing Sandy Traichel, provided a
brief history of this application, and provided copies of the arguments
in favour of this application, which included:
• the size of the parcel, which is partly within the East Silver
Sage Road Area Structure Plan and partly outside, is not large
enough to be fragmented so changing the land use for the
whole parcel is preferred;
• soil limitations of the parcel make it unsuitable for agricultural
uses;
• the parcel has an access road to producing gas wells. No
development can occur within 100 meters of gas wells, and the
parcel is not in line to be annexed to any larger parcel;
• the parcel is several hundred meters easterly from the Timko
~- Industrial Area Structure Plan. To the east and north are
lands operated by the Horticultural Centre; and
Regular Council Minutes Page 10
June 8, 2006
• the parcel has been used for agricultural industrial purposes for
approximately four decades.
Council asked the following questions:
• Councillor Schroeder asked several questions on noise levels
and dust control. Terry Melnychuk, Twin Sandblasting and
Surfacing Ltd., indicated that the decibel level from the sand
blasting is not any higher than from passing train sounds; and
they may look at the possibility of enveloping the existing
business to restrict dust and sound.
• Councillor Daniels asked if the land use change is approved,
would a new development permit be required. The County
Planner stated yes to this question.
• Councillor Nesbift questioned the safety of the business, the
viability of this business, and if more businesses will be
considered in this area. Sandy Traichel responded that at this
time, she would like to have the zoning discussed before
discussing other activities on site.
Ron Howard, Alberta Agriculture, CDC South, speaking in opposition
to this matter on behalf of the Research Centre, had concerns with
dust and noise from the site; staff health and safety; airborne --~
pollutants; and dust exposure. ~}
Ida Liscum, speaking on behalf of those opposed to this, application,
requested Council's permission for the group to recess to review the
submission from Barry Miskuski, legal counsel representing the
applicant. Council had no objection to this request. The public
hearing was recessed and the group left the meeting at 12:10 P.M.

June 8, 2006
Ida Liscum, speaking for the delegation in opposition, presented
copies of a document to Council outlining their arguments against this
application which included:
• the parcel has a roadway connecting to the County's tourist
attractions such as the ~asa~~Hatchery, the Horticultural
Research Station, Tillebrook Park, the Aquaduct, and also to
the Brooks Campus of the Medicine Hat College;
• the proposed land use change will negatively impact property
values and lifestyles;
• a proposed land use change to this property is not in keeping
with the current trend for the area;
• the business in question has been operating for an extended
period of time and not paying the appropriate tax rate;
• the parcel under this application has become a nuisance parcel
under the present development permit; and
• fears that industrial use will increase.
Comments from other individuals opposed included:
• a 13 year old child with asthma read from a letter regarding the
benefits of living in the country, changing the rules and
regulations, and the number of trucks using the road;
• there is no shortage of alternative and suitable industrial land;
• the parcel is not compatible with the country residential area;
• contaminates from items being sandblasted and the
environmental impacts;
• rural character of the area to be maintained;
• the potential increase in traffic;
• noise
• contaminants from the sandblasting operations draining into
One Tree Creek;
• residents purchased with the understanding that the area would
remain agricultural; and
• not compatible with the County's Mission Statement.
Barry Miskuski, in rebuttal to the comments of those opposed,
provided a preview of the Development Permit conditions for land use
change; and referred to the uses under the Agricultural Industrial
District that are permissible regarding this application.
!n closing, Sandy Traichel stated she is trying to work with Council
and area neighbours to rectify this situation; commented on the
commercial infrastructure already in place on the site; and she is
hoping that a viable solution can be agreed upon.
