c. Road Paving - Subdivisions
The Chief Administrative Officer provided background information on this
item and requested direction regarding how to proceed with requests for
drainage improvements and paving from residents of larger subdivisions. He
O provided an example of some rural subdivisions near urban centers.
Discussion followed regarding whether or not one set of rules could be
applied to all rural subdivisions or whether decisions should be based on
population density. The Manager of Planning & Development noted that the
draft design guidelines require paving for subdivisions with a paved access
road and gravel roads for subdivisions with a gravel access road.
ARRIVED AT MEETING
M. Harbicht arrived at 11:14 a. m.
Discussion followed regarding responsibility for the cost of the paving and
who would initiate the request. The Chief Administrative Officer suggested
that if a developer has completed infrastructure that fully satisfies City
standards, then the County could complete the drainage and paving work
required. Discussion followed regarding adding roads within subdivisions to
the County's paving program once the underground infrastructure
requirements have been satisfied. It was determined that subdivisions would
be considered for paving on a case by case basis.

The Manager of Planning & Development responded to questions from
Council, indicating that the request is from the County, not the Duchess
Memorial Pathway Committee. The Assistant Administrator indicated that the
County has contracted the surveyor to ensure the path design is completed
and to register a formal road widening agreement. He noted that Council
provided direction to facilitate this project and this is the only third party cost
incurred by the County as third party costs. Discussion followed and Council
requested clarification on the previous motion. Further discussion was
postponed until later during this meeting.
C-263/12 MOVED BY COUNCILLOR A.M. PHILIPSEN that we move into Public Hearings

Reeve M. Douglass called the Public Hearing to order at 11:31 a.m.

ARRIVED AT MEETING
Councillor L. Juss returned at 11:32 a.m.
The County Planner stated that the intent of the Public Hearing is to hear
representations on Bylaw 1755-12. The intent of this bylaw is to adopt a new
Land Use Bylaw for the County of Newell.
The County Planner provided background information on this item, indicating
that a copy of the document had been circulated to all adjacent rural and
urban municipalities as well as a list of affected agencies. Public notices
were published in both circulating newspapers and on the County's web site.
She gave an overview of the responses received from Vulcan County,
Cypress County, and the Town of Bassano. She also noted a response from
a landowner, which was included in the agenda package, and distributed a

business, but funeral home is still included.
C-264/12 MOVED BY COUNCILLOR I. SCHROEDER that we move out of Public
Hearings at 11:41 a.m.
MOTION CARRIED
7. BYLAWS
a. Bylaw 1755-12 - Land Use Bylaw
The County Planner provided background information on this item and
responded to questions from Council. Councillor C. Amulung noted that the
distance a structure must be located from a property line had increased to 25
feet from 10 feet. The County Planner replied that this was an attempt to
standardize setbacks, indicating that in most rural municipalities the minimum
distance separation for permanent structures is 25 feet. Councillor
C. Amulung expressed concerns with this change, noting that it could be
restrictive for those wishing to develop on smaller parcels. The County
Planner replied that the 25 foot setback was an extension of the 20 foot
setback required within hamlets. Councillor L. Juss asked if the setback
could be reduced if the proposed structure would not affect adjacent
development. The County Planner replied that the developer could request a
setback waiver and the Municipal Planning Commission would decide
whether or not to permit it.
Councillor C. Amulung noted that the Land Use Bylaw was a large document
and suggested that it be made more user-friendly. The County Planner
outlined some features of the bylaw that had been included to make it easier
to understand, including listing all uses in the zoning description rather than
referencing schedules at the end of the document. She also noted that the
10 foot setback from property lines was more common in urban settings and
Page 5 of 16 ��J"
Regular Council
September 6, 2012
that requests to reduce the setback can be dealt with on a case-by-case
basis. Councillor L. Juss indicated that the sizes of many subdivisions are
dictated by the natural boundaries of the land, and this often affects the
location of structures as well. The County Planner agreed that the intent is
not to dictate what someone does on their land, but there is a good reason to
have a setback.
Councillor A.M. Philipsen inquired about the minimum setbacks from water
bodies. The County Planner noted that the previous bylaw had required a
200 foot setback from any water body. The draft land use bylaw will deal with
setbacks from water bodies on a case-by-case basis as different types of
water bodies would have different requirements. Councillor M. Nesbitt asked
if the Eastern Irrigation District had any required setbacks that could cause
confusion. The County Planner indicated that the Eastern Irrigation District is
notified of proposed developments and they provide information on
requirements. Councillor A.M. Philipsen suggested that the setback should
be left at 200 feet and that developers could request a setback waiver. The
County Planner replied that setbacks from canals should be different from
setbacks from reservoirs and that she had been unable to find resources
from other municipalities stating distances from specific water bodies. The
Chief Administrative Officer noted that, typically, development is held back
from potable water sources and recreational lakes. The County Planner
indicated that the circulation process does include affected agencies, for
instance, Alberta Transportation is notified if the proposed development is
near a provincial highway.
The County Planner indicated that she would obtain more information
regarding setbacks from water bodies from the Eastern Irrigation District.
Further discussion on this item was postponed until the September 20, 2012
Council meeting.

Initiative was to focus on promotion of the region, which includes the County
of Newell and all the municipalities housed within it. The web marketing
strategy has created the 'Region of Re -Newell' brand, which will work
towards creating a better image of the region by developing photo galleries
on the internet that illustrate good quality of life.
The Junior Economic Development Officer provided an explanation of the
project, explaining how Google uses content searches to create photographic
profiles for the area. Flickr accounts have been created for the County of
Newell, Bassano, and Brooks, and the best photos have been labeled 'visit
Newell.' He gave an overview of the statistics since the project had begun,
indicating that since the galleries had been created at the end of July they
have received an average of 151 visits per day from people viewing
photographs and content from our region. He also indicated that he has
been working with Panoramio, which places pictures of the region into
Google Maps and Google Earth. He gave a demonstration of how the most
popular photos show up on the map.
ARRIVED AT MEETING
Councillor M. Nesbitt arrived at 1:14 p.m.
The Junior Economic Development Officer displayed a preview of the 'Visit
Newell' website, which contains a directory of businesses and attractions
within the region. He indicated that they are currently forming partnerships
with the local media in order to promote the region in a positive light using
photographs.
Council was given the opportunity to ask questions. Councillor M. Nesbitt
asked if there was a fee to be listed in the business directory. The Junior
Economic Development Officer replied that a fee would be charged if
businesses wanted to be able to access the website information. The
Economic Development & Tourism Coordinator indicated that they would be
working towards focusing in specific industries for region specific marketing.

Agricultural Fieldman also reported on a meeting he had attended regarding

MOTION CARRIED
e. Policy Review - Restricted Surplus
The Manager of Finance presented Council with background information on
this item. He requested guidance on what Council would consider
acceptable minimum and maximum levels for each restricted surplus fund. In
addition, he asked about annual funding levels for each restricted surplus
fund. He provided an overview of the main features of the policy, which
include moving away from managing reserve accounts for individual
departments, reducing the number of reserve funds, and comparing restricted
surplus funds to Tangible Capital Assets. He displayed a chart illustrating the
potential savings levels based on his proposal.
Council was given the opportunity to ask questions. Councillor M. Nesbitt
asked what would happen to funding that had been accumulated for specific
projects. The Manager of Finance replied that any funding allocated through
a motion in Council to a specific project would go into a future project fund.
Councillor C. Amulung inquired about hamlet funds and the Manager of
Finance replied that the funds collected for water have been differentiated O
from those funds collected for sewer. The funds collected for water were to
be used towards the installation of water meters. He suggested that a
separate fund could be set up for each hamlet, if this is Council's desire.
Councillor 1. Schroeder noted that the 25% annual amortization balance for
the County's TCA infrastructure classes was not very high. The Manager of
Finance replied that this is a starting point and that there are minimum and
maximum levels in the schedule of reserves. He suggested that it would be
more effective to base saving levels on replacement cost rather than
amortization.
The Chief Administrative Officer stressed the importance of a long term plan
that takes into account replacing existing infrastructure and equipment as
well as new projects. He suggested the County should have a contingency of
15% of the annual revenue and an operating contingency that can handle
shifts from year to year. For large projects, it would be ideal to have 1/3rd of
the funding secured before starting. Councillor 1. Schroeder expressed
concerns with having large amounts in reserves in the event that the
provincial government decides to reallocate funding. Councillor L. Juss noted
that large reserves could indicate to ratepayers that tax rates are too high.
Discussion followed regarding the rates and the Manager of Finance
indicated that these would be used as a starting point. The asset
management system should provide more detailed information in the future.
