a) December 19, 2013
4Aik/(1)1
Councillor C. Amulung expressed concern with Motion 152, regarding the
approval conditions for Subdivision 2013-0-170. He felt that condition 4
under the subdivision approval conditions did not reflect what was
agreed upon at the meeting and should have been removed because he
felt the requirement to construct the road made that condition
unnecessary. Councillor L. Juss indicated that his understanding was the
applicant would be constructing the road from Range Road 14-0 south to
where the trail leaves the road allowance, approximately 166 m (544 ft).
Once the trail leaves the road allowance and continues southwest across
NE 12-21-14, the access easement would be required to allow the
applicant to cross that landowner's property and access her subdivision.
The Manager of Planning & Development requested to be excused so
that she could call the County Planner for clarification of the subdivision
approval.
LEFT THE MEETING:
A. Wickert left the meeting at 10:04 a.m.
The Chairman invited the Development Clerk to review the Permit
Summary Report, Permits Issued Report and the Permitted Use Report.

3. MINUTES- CONTINUED
ARRIVED AT MEETING:
A. Wickert returned at 10:14 a.m.
The Manager of Planning & Development provided clarification about the
subdivision conditions on behalf of the County Planner. She explained
that, according to the County Planner, while MPC indicated they wanted
the condition added that the road be constructed according to County
standards, they did not provide a specific distance for that construction.
In addition, while MPC discussed the access easement, they did not
direct the County Planner to remove it from the conditions list. The
County Planner indicated that when changes are made to subdivision
conditions at the MPC meeting, these changes are written in by hand
and then initialed by the chair. There was further discussion.
