Kleinsasser, Newell Colony) G. Kleinsasser provided background information on this item. Three building permits for similar types of buildings have been obtained in the past year at a cost of around $5, 000.00 each. He asked why the cost of the building permit is now $18,000.00. The Manager of Planning & Development provided further Page 4 of 15 Regular Council October 11, 2018 information, indicating that the permit fees are calculated based on square footage of the development rather than an estimated value provided by the applicant. The same number of inspections are required regardless of the value of the permit. This change was implemented with the most recent amendment to the Schedule of Fees bylaw. Council was given the opportunity to ask questions. The Manager of Planning & Development responded to questions regarding the actual cost of permits, indicating that permit fees follow provincial guidelines and incorporate the number of inspections required, reviews of plans, and follow up with applicants. G. Kleinsasser responded to questions regarding the buildings, indicating that they are 8-unit residences without cooking or laundry facilities and they are insured based on the cost to rebuild the units without labor. The Manager of Planning & Development indicated that the examples provided from other municipalities are multi -unit dwellings for rental purposes. These would contain individual cooking facilities. The Chief Administrative Officer suggested a rebate of 10-15% could be considered reasonable for a unit without a kitchen as the colony units are not the same as other multi -unit dwellings. Council indicated that they are willing to explore this further and suggested that the assessed value of the other recently constructed colony units be brought back for further consideration. ARRIVED AT MEETING R. Scheuerman and M. Cheney arrived at 11:21 a.m. Discussion followed regarding how to calculate building permit fees for colony O multi -unit dwellings.

Councillor L. Juss indicated that he would not be attending the RMA Fall 2018 Convention. DELEGATIONS — continued 9.2 Request to Use Rolling Hills Pond for Cooling Water (L. Hirch) The Director of Corporate Services provided background information on this item, indicating that a request has been received by a local business owner to use the 0- Page 8 of 15 Regular Council October 11, 2018 Rolling Hills raw water irrigation pond. The County owns the pond and the Rolling Hills Hamlet Advisory operates the raw water irrigation system. The pond is also used for fire suppression in the summer. The request was circulated to the Rolling _ Hills Hamlet Advisory Board as well as Alberta Agriculture to determine potential impacts of this use. Responses from Alberta Agriculture and the business owner's engineers indicate that this use will result in an insignificant temperature increase to the pond water, depending on how often the water is turned over. The proposal is for a closed -loop system with no exchange of water between the pond and the distillery. L. Hirch, the business owner, provided background information and an update on the development of his distillery. It is important to recycle the water used for cooling and the initial plan was to use storage containers inside the building. It has since been determined that there is not enough room inside the building, so they are considering whether the raw water irrigation pond can be used. L. Hirch explained the closed loop system, indicating that there will be no transfer of fluids. He indicated that the letter from Pharaoh Engineering Ltd contains a typo and the temperature increase will be 0.05 degrees Celsius at the most. The equipment manufacturer has provided assurances that there are minimal risks of leaks or contamination. Council was given the opportunity to ask questions. L. Hirch explained how the closed loop system would be installed with minimal impact to the raw water irrigation pond or the pump equipment. He indicated that he would be open to assisting with algae control, if that became an issue. L. Hirch responded to further questions regarding the amount of water that would pass through the closed loop system at peak production times. The Director of Corporate Services responded to questions regarding fire suppression requirements, indicating that the volume of water in the pond would not be reduced. Council expressed concerns with the concept of permitting a private business to use a municipal facility and asked if other solutions had been explored. L. Hirch indicated that other options would be explored. L. Hirch responded to further questions from Council. D. Stabbler, a resident of Rolling Hills, indicated that L. Hirch had indicated previously that no outside water would be used for the distillery other than a tank connected to the County's rural water distribution system. He raised concerns with the potential temperature of the liquid and the explosive potential of the methanol produced at various stages in the process. Users of the raw water irrigation system pay annually for the service, but there is nothing in the request regarding a cost for L. Hirch to use the pond. D. Stabbler expressed further concerns with the communication to the Rolling Hills Hamlet Advisory Board, indicating that they were not given enough time to review the information to formulate a response. C-326/18 MOVED BY COUNCILLOR ANNE MARIE PHILIPSEN that Council APPROVES the request to use the Rolling Hills Pond with the condition that L. Hirch provides an assurance from a professional engineer that there is no potential for cross -contamination of the water or a reduction in raw water quality within the pond, and that terms of a reasonable and legally binding agreement be registered against the title of the Pivot Spirits Ltd property. The Chief Administrative Officer responded to questions from C ncil. He U indicated that there wouldn't be any liability risk to the County unless the wa e becomes contaminated due to the connection and that shouldn't be possible qog potable water in the piping. He did express concerns of the long-term viability of Page 9 of 15 Regular Council October 11, 2018 this solution should the irrigation/fire system ever be directly piped or if the hamlet wants to move or fill the pond in. He indicated using the irrigation pond was certainly possible but suggested that if other options exist that it would be best to explore them first. Further discussion occurred. -0 VOTE ON MOTION C-326/18 — MOTION DEFEATED LEFT THE MEETING A. Wickert, D. Horvath, L. Hirch and D.

Visser indicated that he is working with both City and County staff to clarify requirements and capacity for services. Alberta Transportation has also been engaged for input. If this development proceeds, the addition of a right turn lane might be required. Currently, there are two eastbound lanes and one westbound lane. R. Visser indicated that there have been past discussions between the City and the County regarding infrastructure improvements for the development of this corner. He suggested starting with a traffic study with costs shared equally by Canalta, the County, and the City. He indicated that this proposal would also be presented to City Council for consideration. The Director of Municipal Services indicated that there is currently no traffic data on any of the roads around that parcel of land that he is aware of. He provided historical information, indicating that there was a proposal to construct a fourth lane several years ago. Services were installed along the Joann Trucking Road to the north and three lanes were built, but it was not possible to acquire the land for the fourth lane. Council was given the opportunity to ask questions. Discussion followed, and it was noted that Alberta Transportation often asks developers to complete traffic studies and the County has never been a party to cost -sharing for these.
