DP 2018013 - Lot 1, Block 1, Plan 1213430, SW 28-21-17 W4M School (Delegation 10:00 a.m.) The Development Clerk provided background information about the proposed permit application. C. Giesbrecht provided additional information about the application and responded to questions from MPC. He indicated that 2 school buses will bring 69 students to the school. MPC asked whether the number of students at the school might increase. C. Giesbrecht stated that it would not. County staff indicated that a condition could be added to the permit approval to set an upper limit to the number of students allowed at the school, above which the permit would need to be reconsidered. MPC asked whether renovations will be required to the existing church building to \\ accommodate the school setting and students. J. Peters indicated that some renovations will be required to make classrooms. Staff confirmed that permits will be needed for renovations. There was discussion about the location of the proposed school in this agricultural area and whether it was a suitable use. Concerns were expressed about crop spraying, ability to add to a nearby cattle operation, dust, and noise from the school ground. MPC inquired about the ability of the current septic system to support the additional use. Staff indicated that septic system requirements would be determined at the next stage of development. D. Clyne, adjacent landowner, was given the opportunity to speak to MPC and respond to questions. MPC asked the applicant how this application was different than previous applications submitted for the same use at this location. The applicants responded that they have looked at many different areas for a suitable location and this site fits their needs the best. P-32/18 MOVED BY COUNCILLOR TRACY FYFE that the Municipal Planning Commission APPROVE Development Permit 2018013, for the operation of a school, subject to the conditions outlined below. MOTION DEFEATED �# Page 2 of 5 Municipal Planning Commission April 19, 2018 P-33/18 MOVED BY COUNCILLOR WAYNE HAMMERGREN that the Municipal Planning commission REFUSE Development Permit 2018013 for the operation of a school, for the following reasons: 1. It was determined that the intensification of the church site (a 1-day per week use) with the addition of a school/student learning center (an additional 5 days per week) at this location is not suitable, as the impacts to the adjacent agricultural lands would interfere and materially affect the use and enjoyment of the adjacent lands due to increased dust and noise. 2. This application is not materially different from the previous application and does not mitigate previous reasons for refusal. MOTION CARRIED LEFT THE MEETING C. Giesbrecht, J. Giesbrecht, J.
