Title
Consideration of an amended fee for the approved License of Occupation for Hubbles Lake Resort & RV Park.
Proposed Motion(s)
That Parkland County Administration be instructed to prepare a License of Occupation (with costs of $2,300 per year and for an initial period of 3 years) that allows retention of the RV placements without the extension of public access (trails) through the Hubbles Lake Resort and RV Park.
Body
Administration Recommendation(s)
Administration supports the motion.
Summary
At its June 25th meeting Parkland County Council approved in principle the preparation of a License of Occupation for the Hubble's Lake RV Campground and instructed staff to proceed with its preparation. The original fee was approved at an initial amount of $5,000 per year. On reflection - Administration and the operators of the campground felt that $2,300 per year was a fairer - initial - amount to be annually collected through the first 3 year term.
Strategic Plan/Policy/Legal/Staff Implications
This approach is consistent with direction provided by Council to Administration in 2012 to commence soft-enforcement of ER/MR/R Encroachments and address all matters of non-compliance around Hubbles Lake.
Other
1. Council could recommend any other fee associated with a License of Occupation.
2. Council could instruct the property owner remove the unauthorized encroachments from the County's "R" parcels by the start of the 2014 season.
