Extension Request
The County Planner provided background information on the proposed
application.
M. Burgert let MPC know that they now have approval from the Alberta Utilities
Commission (AUC) for 6 of 8 projects.
_ ARRIVED AT MEETING
A. Wickert arrived at 10:06 a.m.
M. Burgert explained that Solar Krafte is moving ahead with the Cassils project,
but it is taking a little longer for approval from the AUC due to some delays the
project has incurred.
MPC inquired on how many of the 6 of 8 approved projects have been issued
development permits. M. Burgert replied that all Solar Krafte projects have
development permits due to a change that was implemented about 2 years ago
where the AUC requires all solar projects to have development permits prior to
application to the AUC.
M. Burgert indicated that the environmental plan for the AUC has been time
consuming, causing a 6 to 8-month delay.

Commission APPROVE the request from Solar Krafte for an Extension Request
for the construction of a solar array facility.
