MOTION CARRIED
8.2 2020-0-038 - Lot 1, Block 3, Plan 0212411 and SW1/4 16-21-18-W4M, To
reconfigure two existing titles by subdividing a 5.86 acre (2.37 ha) portion of Lot
1, Block 3, Plan 0212411 within the SW%4 16-21-18- W4M containing an existing
residence, and consolidating the remaining 3.24 acre (1.31 ha) portion to the
residual parcel, to create a new agricultural parcel approximately 91.01 acres
(36.78 ha) in size.
The County Planner provided background information on the proposed
subdivision application. He indicated the Town of Bassano has requested that an
engineered storm water management plan requirement be added as a condition
to the subdivision. The County Planner informed MPC that a meeting was held
between the Town of Bassano, the EID, ORRSC and the County staff to discuss
this condition. County staff indicated this is not a condition that they would
recommend applying on this particular subdivision.
Councillor 8. de Jong asked why the request for a drainage/storm water plan be
included as a condition when this has not been a similar condition for other
subdivisions in the past.
The Manager of Planning, Development &Engineering Services indicated that
there are clauses within the IDP with the town of Bassano that talk about
stormwater management plans and engineered design to control run off. It is
Administration's thought that those points within the IDP are meant more for
large sca/e and multi lot developments that have a greater potential to increase
surface run off. In regard to the current parcel the landowner is trying to come in
line with policies set out by the EID because of the pivot installation. The
Manager of Planning, Development & Engineering indicated he does not recall
another time that the County has requested a stormwater management plan for
an agricultural subdivision such as this.
The Manager of Planning, Development and Engineering Services indicated that
the EID had specifically requested that they would like access to the subdivision
removed from their right of way. He also suggested that condition 3 may cause
an issue at the time of finalization if the EID is unwilling to sign the access
easement. The Manager of Planning, Development and Engineering Services
suggested the wording of the condition be altered to make it more workable for
the applicant and the EID to come to an agreeable solution.
A discussion followed regarding the conditions. Councillor B. de Jong indicated
that he would like to replace conditions 3 with the point in the informative section
from the EID being `access to the subdivision must be removed from the EID
right of way'and remove condition 4.
Councillor L. Juss stated he would like to avoid approving any subdivision that
requires an easement on someone e/se's property.
P-22/20 MOVED BY COUNCILLOR BRIAN DE JONG THAT the Agricultural and Country
