Purpose
To close undeveloped road allowance to public travel for the purpose of sale and consolidation into adjacent lands; SE-08-54-02-W4.
Summary
A Public Hearing was held on March 26, 2019 and First Reading to Bylaw 2019-02 was given by Council on March 26, 2019. No written or verbal objections were expressed during the hearing. The purpose of the bylaw is for the closure, sale and consolidation of the undeveloped road allowance located along the western border of the SE-08-54-27-W4 and is a condition of the applicants conditionally approved Development Permit.
The subject road allowance was created from SE-08-54-27-W4 by way of survey in 1903. The purpose of the survey was to form the road boundaries of the original settlement of the Michel Indian Reserve No. 132. In 1958, the Reservation was disenfranchised and the lands sold; the surveyed sections of undeveloped roads remained untouched.
The applicants wish to consolidate the undeveloped road allowance into the SE-08-54-02-W4 for the purpose of a proposed Country Residential subdivision; this would allow for an increase in the size of the parcels along the west boundary as well as facilitate the return of the surveyed section of road allowance back to the parent parcel. The sale of the 3.955 acre road will be for fair market value as determined from an internal market valuation.
