Development<br />
committee update<br />
Perspective<br />
I spent a day of insights at the Subdivision and Development<br />
Appeal Board last week. The appeal was<br />
made by an applicant, the Designer, against the refusal<br />
of his Development Permit. The house would have<br />
been beautiful and different - a good addition to Killarney’s<br />
eclectic streetscape - unfortunately it required<br />
too many relaxations to the Land Use Bylaw and because<br />
of this, the SDAB upheld the refusal.<br />
The first insight came from the information put<br />
together by the City for the appeal, which included<br />
the File Manager’s emails with the designer, letters<br />
from neighbours, the comments from the KGCA, the<br />
detailed review of the development application to the<br />
bylaw, and final drawings. This complete file package<br />
is something that the KGCA would not normally see<br />
and it was enlightening and encouraging. If you ever<br />
think that the City does not have the interests of ordinary<br />
citizens at heart then you need to read one of<br />
these files. (They are online at www.calgarysdab.ca/<br />
meeting-agendas.html). The hard work that this File<br />
Manager put in with the applicant to adjust the design<br />
to fit the Land Use Bylaw and to the needs of the<br />
Killarney Community is praiseworthy.<br />
The next insight although not new is worth restating:<br />
An SDAB hearing is always a great place to see balance<br />
and fairness in action. The City organization and the<br />
SDAB themselves make it easy and simple for people<br />
who are not accustomed to attending or presenting<br />
at hearings to have their views heard and considered.<br />
SDAB judgements are always fair and balanced and in<br />
every judgement are bound by the Land Use Bylaw.<br />
The final insight came from the Designer. This appeal<br />
gave us a chance to sit down and really talk about<br />
what would be needed to make the development a<br />
reality. The Designer felt that elements of the building<br />
design could have been amended to fit LUB parameters<br />
if there was a clear message that the approval or<br />
refusal of the Development Permit hinged upon these<br />
design elements, specifically lot coverage and a deep<br />
staggered front setback designed specifically for this<br />
unusual parcel of land.<br />
So just before the SDAB hearing started, we came to<br />
an agreement about changes to the lot coverage and<br />
set-backs from the lot boundaries that would have<br />
mitigated the placement of the building. Yes, the<br />
Development Committee has discussed this before<br />
with the Developer, but in the real world the crunch<br />
point is usually where the views of all parties are pared<br />
down to simple understanding, and consequently the<br />
crunch point is where most agreements can happen.<br />
Life is like that.<br />
Although we had come to an agreement it was not<br />
possible to present revised plans that could have<br />
been incorporated into an SDAB ruling. It was too late<br />
to incorporate changes, and the SDAB had to uphold<br />
the refusal of the development permit.<br />
And that is a shame, because the building would<br />
have been an interesting addition to Killarney. These<br />
insights may help change our perspective of the excellent<br />
work of the City File Managers - they really do<br />
care. They may help our perspective of the equally<br />
excellent work of the designers and developers who<br />
spend their time and money to redevelop Killarney.<br />
Sure it’s for profit; profit is good; profitable business<br />
creates jobs. For the Killarney Glengarry Community<br />
Association the ongoing message is that we must<br />
open doors and keep conversations moving forward<br />
toward development that benefits all of us.<br />

October is all about hunkering down for Winter. These<br />
are glory days of savouring the harvest. Putting the<br />
garden to bed in a way that ensures success next year,<br />
splitting plants especially, precious peonies, to share<br />
with friends; sharpening your tools and giving them a<br />
light coat of oil to keep them sharp and make them last<br />
for years, mulching your favourite plants, especially<br />
tender ones - I throw a layer of carpet over the<br />
Enomymous Fortunei - a fabulous plant that<br />
is a beautiful evergreen, summer and winter.<br />
Leave some dried plants standing to hold<br />
the snow cover to help other hardier plants<br />
survive the winter.<br />
This year I built an “Insect Hotel” which is a<br />
place in your garden that will attract bugs,<br />
like ladybugs, to spend the winter so they<br />
are ready to go to work early in the spring.<br />
Other favourite rituals are laying in food for the<br />
winter. Whether it’s pickling beets, freezing fruit,<br />
making pies with friends to freeze for special winter<br />
celebrations, making antipasto; the BEST recipe is in Calgary’s<br />
own “Best of Bridge” cookbook. We’ll run a copy<br />
to inspire you.<br />
Other critically important things are safety items. Put up<br />
the Christmas lights this month so that no one falls off<br />
a ladder in the freezing days in December, better yet,<br />
if you’re rushed, hire a local company to do it for you.<br />
They have the right tools and are experienced in doing<br />
it safely. Incidents like these can be life altering events, I<br />
know, it happened to a good friend - it seemed so simple,<br />
to stand on a ladder and put lights over the garage<br />
door, his back fractured and he lived a life of pain.<br />
Western Pride<br />
Car Detailing<br />
Take the time to check that winter coats fit and kids<br />
haven’t grown out of their winter boots, mitts are found<br />
and hats are where people can find them.<br />
Include the car in planning for winter. Change the tires,<br />
if you have to, before the first snowfall and save yourself<br />
a lot of frustration and time. Have your regular tune up<br />
include checking the fluids, like winter washer fluid. Be<br />
sure that you have an emergency kit in the trunk with<br />
things like sleeping bags, paper and matches, bungee<br />
cords and jumper cables.<br />
So now that your minds are in a planning mode<br />
getting things in place so that you’re ready<br />
to handle everything that winter will throw<br />
at us this year. So it is with imagineKIL-<br />
LARNEY. This year we’re planning for the<br />
years 2015/16 but we’re also planning for<br />
the next decade. What things will we need<br />
down the road? Analyzing what we’ve<br />
done that has worked well and building on<br />
those successes. Carefully looking at what<br />
didn’t work so well and decide if they should<br />
be changed or dropped.<br />
We’re trying hard to “think differently” than we have before.<br />
Thinking in the same mode only gets us the same<br />
old, same old ideas. We’re challenging ourselves to open<br />
our minds to hear ideas we may have heard before but<br />
didn’t ‘really’ hear. We’re going to go back to basis to<br />
ensure that we’re making decisions based on our core<br />
values.<br />
When new members come on the Board it is expected<br />
that they are accountable, inclusive and sustainable but<br />
we also expect all of us to act with courage by making<br />
the right decisions, not the expedient ones; to be adaptable,<br />
flexible and nimble to changing conditions and to<br />
be open-minded about new approaches, new people<br />
and especially about new ideas.<br />
Give some consideration to volunteering in the community<br />
- it’s a lot of fun and it helps us to reach our Vision<br />
of living in the best place in the world. And for the<br />
opportunity to contribute- your life experience, your<br />
skills, your passion and enthusiasm.<br />
Sheryl Sandberg has the right recipe: “the ultimate luxury<br />
is to combine passion and contribution. It’s also<br />
a very clear path to happiness”. Well spoken!<br />

Leaf & Pumpkin composting<br />
program is underway!<br />
Bring your leaves and pumpkins to a depot near<br />
you until November 8.<br />
Fall is in the air – and on the ground. As Calgarians clean<br />
up their yards they can bring their bagged leaves and<br />
pumpkins to one of our 36 drop-off locations around<br />
the city. By composting this material it keeps it out of<br />
the landfill, reduces harmful greenhouse gas emissions<br />
and helps turn the leaves and pumpkins into useful<br />
compost. We recommend using paper yard waste bags<br />
as they can be composted with the rest of the material.<br />
No sod or rocks please.<br />

be costly.<br />
You may have to make tax instalments if you received or<br />
earned any income that is not subject to withholding at<br />
source, such as business or investment income and/or<br />
if you received or earned income with a low rate of withholding<br />
at source, such as pension income and your net<br />
tax owing is greater than $3,000 in 2015 and either 2014<br />
or 2013.<br />
The CRA determines if you must pay instalments based on<br />
your tax returns from prior years and will send you a reminder<br />
notice to make these payments – in February for<br />
the March and June payments and in August for the September<br />
and December payments. If you receive a reminder<br />
notice but you do not comply you may be subject to interest<br />
and penalty charges.<br />
For the 2015 taxation year, the CRA will base your first two<br />
instalments on your 2013 tax liability with the final two<br />
being adjusted so the total of the four instalments equals<br />
your 2014 tax liability. This calculation method can result<br />
in an overpayment of tax if, for example, your income has<br />
decreased over the past two taxation years. If you overpay,<br />
you will earn instalment credit interest that is not refundable<br />
and can be used only against interest payment<br />
charges on late payments for the same tax year. (Check<br />
with your advisor or accountant before making a payment<br />
to see if your instalments should be reduced.)<br />
If you do not make your payments on time or paid less than<br />
you had to pay, you will be charged instalment interest at<br />
the prescribed interest rate compounded daily (currently<br />
at 5% which is subject to quarterly adjustments) with the<br />
interest calculated on each instalment payment beginning<br />
from the day it was due.<br />
You may also have to pay a penalty (if your instalment interest<br />
charges for 2015 are more than $1,000). The amount<br />
of the penalty is determined by which of the following<br />
amounts is higher:<br />
• $1,000 or<br />
• 25% of the instalment interest you would have to pay if<br />
you had not made instalment payments.<br />
To calculate the penalty, the CRA subtracts the higher<br />
amount from your actual instalment interest charges for<br />
2015 and divides the difference by two.<br />
The cost of not making your instalment payments can be<br />
substantial – it may even make sense to borrow to pay<br />
the instalments. But don’t rush into another unnecessary<br />
expense especially if you know your income is decreasing.<br />

and investment decisions for you.<br />

Make Your Voice Heard This Election<br />
On October 19 we will all have an important choice to<br />
make. When we cast our votes in the federal election,<br />
we are not only choosing the voice we want representing<br />
us in Ottawa, we are also bearing out our country’s<br />
historic democratic tradition. It is no stretch to say that<br />
this election will be pivotal for Canada’s future – it is certainly<br />
one of the most important I can remember.<br />
There is a lot of rhetoric out there: advertising, doorknocking,<br />
debates, and other pleas for your vote. I commend<br />
anyone who has the courage and sense of civic<br />
duty to put their name on a ballot, and hope that in<br />
these final days of the campaign you will take the time<br />
to get to know your candidates and the issues that motivate<br />
them. If one of your candidates comes knocking<br />
on your door, have a conversation; read the politics section<br />
of the newspaper on a coffee break; reach out to a<br />
campaign if you want to get involved; or ask your friends<br />
and family what their stances on particular issues are.<br />
When it comes to casting your vote, you have several<br />
options. On Election Day, you can vote at your local polling<br />
place, or you can vote in advance by mail or at select<br />
locations from October 9-12. Alternatively, you can visit<br />
any Elections Canada office before October 13 to cast<br />
your ballot. You must be a registered voter, which you<br />
can set up online (www.elections.ca). Once you’re registered,<br />
you will receive a voter information card indicating<br />
your polling place.<br />
On October 19, make your voice heard, and together<br />
let’s build the best country we can. As always, you can<br />
reach out to me and my office by phone (403-268-2430),<br />
email (ward08@calgary.ca), or on my website (calgary.<br />
ca/ward8).<br />

I hope everyone had a memorable summer with family,<br />
friends and community. I have had the privilege to meet<br />
many of you at events put on by community associations,<br />
pancake breakfasts and even running into you on the street.<br />
This fall, our government will be introducing our first<br />
budget. This important piece of legislation will help set the<br />
priorities for government by investing in key areas of our<br />
province. The process by which a budget goes from submissions<br />
from government departments to being passed in the<br />
legislature is a long one, but having been involved from the<br />
beginning of this process, I am convinced it is worthwhile.<br />
Over the course of the summer I have had the opportunity<br />
to be involved in and attend a number of public consultation<br />
meetings organized by Finance Minister Joe Ceci<br />
while he was touring the province, and found them quite<br />
informative. The feedback given at these consultation<br />
meetings is crucial, because it ensures that people have an<br />
opportunity to participate in the process of government.<br />
The overarching theme I keep hearing during my involvement<br />
in this process is that individuals, families, businesses,<br />
social agencies and more, are all expecting that our government<br />
will take the same care with the provincial budget<br />
as they do when they deal with their household expenses.<br />
We are committed to taking the necessary steps now to<br />
avoid the boom-bust cycles of the past, and supporting<br />
our children instead of balancing our books by mortgaging<br />
their future.<br />
I am proud to be a part of this government, and will be proud<br />
to stand with the Minister of Finance when he introduces the<br />
draft budget to the Legislature. As that debate progresses I<br />
am certain that I will find myself thinking back and telling<br />
the stories I have heard during the consultation process, and<br />
ensuring that the voice of Calgary Currie is not lost.<br />
I look forward to meeting each and every one of you over<br />
the coming years. I wish to extend an invitation to all of you<br />
to my Constituency Office Open House, happening Saturday<br />
October 24th from 1pm-4pm. My staff and I will be at<br />
the office (Located at: 2108B 33rd Ave SW), so stop in to<br />
meet us, and share in some light refreshments and conversation.<br />
I look forward to seeing you.<br />
Sincerest Regards,<br />
Brian<br />
