The Supervisor of Planning & Development provided background information on the proposed subdivision application. Councillor B. de Jong inquired if there have been any issues with shared access in the past or if they seem to work well. The Supervisor of Planning & Development commented that an access easement will be registered on the Certificate of Title (CoT) and didn't perceive any issues. The Manager of Engineering, Planning & Development added that since the access goes into the remnant parcel and not the residences, he saw no issues. Reeve M. Douglass commented that it is unusual to have both an easement and an encroachment on an application. The Supervisor of Planning & Development explained that when the dugout had been constructed it crossed property lines. The Supervisor of Planning & Development explained that the dugout had been sold by the County of Newell to the newly formed homeowners association for use as irrigation and the agreement will protect the integrity of the dugout.
