ECA Review
Village of Alix council
approved amendments to its
land-use bylaw (LUB) Sept. 16
after a public hearing.
The public hearing and regular
council meeting were held
in the community centre to
meet pandemic guidelines.
Village Chief Administrative
Officer Michelle White stated
Mayor Rob Fehr chaired the
public hearing, which included
four members of the public.
None of the four people spoke.
Craig Teal, a planner from
Parkland Community Planning
Services was present to discuss
amendments to the LUB,
including changes to administrative
provisions, general
regulations and land-use
districts.
Results of the Aug. 13 open
house were also presented.
Nobody from the public
opposed the amendments and
no agencies or government
departments had concerns
either.
After the public hearing was
closed, councillors unanimously
approved second and
third reading of the LUB
amendments.
AHS changes
Mayor Fehr gave council a
report on approved changes to
911 dispatch, including Alberta
Health Service’s plan to consolidate
all 911 dispatch in one of
three call centres.
Fehr stated this isn’t the first
time AHS brought up this idea,
including in 2009, 2011, 2013 and
2016 and it’s been shelved every
time it was brought up.
Councillors also read a letter
from City of Red Deer Tara Veer
who is also concerned with the
changes.
ALIX COUNCIL
He stated the village has
serious concerns about how this
consolidation will affect the service
that Alix residents need.
Council approved sending letters
of concern to the premier’s
office, Health ministry, and the
MLA requesting that the decision
be reversed.
Traffic bylaw
Some tweaking of the village’s
Traffic Bylaw was linked
to the Land Use Bylaw (LUB)
amendments.
White explained the LUB
changes allow oversize vehicles
to be parked on private property
in R4 residential areas.
Councillors thus approved a
change to the Traffic Bylaw to
only cover oversize vehicles
parking along public roadways.
Urban chickens
Councillors approved a
change to the village’s Urban
Chicken Bylaw which allows the
village more options when
chicken owners break the
rules.
In her memo to council
White noted, “If
enforcement of
Urban Chicken
Bylaw 430/18 is
done on a person
renting property
and they decide
not to pay the
fine or seizure
costs, the only
further action
toward collection
would be to go to
court.”
Hence, White
suggested a
change to the
bylaw that gives
the village the
option to place
fines or seizure
costs onto the
property owner’s tax roll.
Councillors passed the
amended Urban Chicken
Bylaw.

In loving memory of Travis Glazier
June 7, 1982 – October 4, 2010
If we could have a lifetime wish
A dream that would come true,
We’d pray to God with all our hearts
For yesterday and You.
A thousand words can’t bring you back
We know because we’ve tried...
Neither will a thousand tears
We know because we’ve cried...
You left behind our broken hearts
And happy memories too...
But we never wanted memories
We only wanted You.
- Always in our hearts,
Your loving family
