Summary
In July of 2014 Council authorized Administration to enter into an agreement with Fath and associated companies for the transfer of an Environmental Reserve parcel (to be known as the Fath-Kolmes Natural Area) within the N1/2 of S.E. 08-53-26-W4M containing 15.95 ha (39.04 ac) in lieu of Municipal Reserve owed from certain industrial lands owned and to be developed by Fath within the Acheson Industrial Area.
Hence, Parkland County entered into a land dedication agreement with Fath on August 26, 2014. Section 6 of the Agreement reads as follows:
6. Within three (3) months of the dedication of the Environmental Reserve Lands by registration of a Plan of Subdivision at the Alberta Land Titles office, the County agrees to initiate an amendment to Land Use District Map 9 and 9A within Land Use Bylaw No. 20-2009, to redistrict the Environmental Reserve Lands from the current AGR - Agricultural Restricted District to the PC - Conservation District.
The Environmental Reserve Parcel dedicated as part of this agreement was registered with Land Titles on March 3, 2015 as Plan 1521136, Block 1, Lot 20ER and is one of the parcels involved in this amendment. Upon review of the County owned Municipal Reserve parcels and Public Utility lots in the vicinity. Further, Administration is also recommending the redestricting of various parcels to PC-Conservation District or PS- Public Service District as shown on "Schedule A" of Bylaw 2015-14. This redistricting will bring the various parcels into Districts consistent with their current and intended uses.
