Clubroot becoming serious issue
Cont’d from Pg 10
This policy recognizes
that Clubroot is a serious
pest problem and supports
the principle to
control the spread of
Clubroot which has been
declared a pest under the
Act.
Wimborne road
closure
Accurate Accounting
placed a market
appraisal of $2,500 for a
portion of road closed off
in Wimborne, Ab.
Council accepted this
price, and will transfer
the funds to the road
reserve account as they
will sell the portion that
is closed.
Robert and Nancy Ells
originally requested a
road closure for an undeveloped
road allowance
(Crescent Road) adjacent
to their lot in Wimborne.
The road closure was
requested in order to
better define their lot
and to ensure there is no
encroachment.
Council determined at
the time to close the
entire road and to have it
consolidated into the
adjacent county-owned
park with the exception
of the lands requested by
the Ells.
Road closures are governed
by the Municipal
Government Act and
Section 22 states that a
road must be closed by
bylaw.
Meows
to Moos,
Barks to Bleats,
Big or small,
We look after
‘em all.
- Dr. Jeff & Staff
Third and final
reading of the bylaw followed
the public hearing
and ministerial approval
on Aug. 15, 2017.
The Ells were then
required to apply for a
subdivision in order to
obtain the subject lands.
This subdivision was
approved by the
Municipal Planning
Commission on Sept. 27,
2018.
An appraisal of the
market value of the land
has been provided by
Accurate Assessment as
$2,500 for the additional
302.346 m2.
These additional lands
will be consolidated into
the existing lot through
the subdivision process.
Non-energy and
energy related
developments
requirements
In recent years,
Kneehill County has
seen an increase of applicants
wanting to develop
on lands where access
would be required on an
undeveloped road
allowance.
Previous policies
allowed for cost-sharing
options, which were
shown to be problematic
and lacked engineering
requirements.
Two policies now
outline the requirements
for non-energy and
energy related developments
on an undeveloped
road allowance which
council readily accepted
the changes.
The policies state
that before council
approves a development
to subdivide or develop a
parcel of land, the applicant
or developer must
get an Engineering
Review Assessment from
the current municipal
engineer with costs
which are laid out in the
County’s Master Rates
Bylaw.
The developer or applicant
must enter a road
development agreement
and may be required to
engage the services of a
professional engineer to
undertake the subject
project.
The Road Development
Agreement will outline
the developer/contractor’s
responsibility and
may be attached to title
by caveat.
Based on the assessment
and consultation
with the CAO, the county
may require the applicant
to provide a road
engineering report on
top of the other
agreement.
In it, the report must
contain full costs estimates
for construction,
possibly engineering/
geophysical/geotechnical
reports, survey
reports, design plans and
road profiles, identification
of gas line crossings
– high and low pressure,
We Salute

Farm Safety Week
and/or bridge
files to identify
and assess the
need for culverts
and bridges.
