Councillor R. Andrews
B. De Jong commented that, as shown on the new photo, the pivot will
not touch the proposed parcel. K. Halsted explained that the SE part of
the proposed subdivision will be used for drainage. The north boundary
of the proposed subdivision follows the existing fence line. K. Halsted
wishes to accommodate the drainage area and use the existing fence
line to keep the entire area in one piece. The County Planner reviewed
some options for MPC to consider in making a decision about this
subdivision application. One option is for MPC to waive the number of
parcels permitted in the quarter section combined with a variance
granted regarding the maximum size of the parcel to be subdivided. A
second option is for Council to amend the current Land Use Bylaw,
either to change the parcel size and the number of parcels allowed
under the Single Lot Agriculture district, or add the Small Holding district
back into the LUB. A discussion ensued.
P-102/12 MOVED BY COUNCILLOR B. DE SONG that the Municipal Planning
Commission APPROVE subdivision #2012-0-176, with a waiver to the
number of parcels per quarter section and to the maximum size of the
