Title
Parkland Big Lake Area Community Association License of Occupation Amendment - County Lands
Proposed Motion
That Council authorize Administration to amend the existing License of Occupation Agreement between Parkland County and The Parkland Big Lake Area Community Association (PBLACA) to include an additional parcel of Municipal Reserve (MR) land within the licensed area, as presented.
Body
Administration Recommendation
Administration supports the proposed motion.
Purpose
This amendment will allow the Parkland Big Lake Area Community Association (PBLACA) to expand community-oriented recreational and gathering space to better serve residents in the area.
Summary
The PBLACA is a community league located in the northeast corner of Parkland County, serving the communities of Helenslea, Helenslea Heath (all phases), Lakeshore Estates, Southern Properties, Countryside Ravines, Park Lane Estates, and Country Squire Estates.
The PBLACA currently holds a License of Occupation for Municipal Reserve land located within Lakeshore Estates (Reserve Lot 211, Parcel A), where it has developed and continues to maintain a community playground and gathering space.
As membership and community use continue to grow, PBLACA is seeking to expand recreational opportunities within the area by incorporating an additional MR parcel into its existing licensed area. The inclusion of Lot 104MR (Plan 1024439, Block 1, Lot 104MR) located within Parkland Estates would provide opportunities for additional low-impact recreational amenities and enhanced community use of the space.
