ECA REVIEW HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLER, AB September 22'22 9
Denied despite meeting legal parameters
Cont’d from Pg 7
I was also advised to halt building
the fence until such permission is
given. This was unfortunate as I had
already built most of the fence and my
supplies were already bought.
One of the council members, Brian
Gus’ behaviour towards me was
uncalled for as he was disrespectful
during my whole presentation and the
meeting was conducted in a very
unprofessional way.
In the second meeting, chaired by
Brian Gus, the council denied me audience
and the right to be heard. He
purported that I had asked to encroach
and he even got denied in the past. The
mayor, Rob McDonald, even averred
no one has ever been issued with an
encroachment permit before.
It is imperative to consider the
bylaws of this ‘City’ regarding denial
of encroachment permit.
Under Part V of the Bylaws an
Encroachment application may be
denied by the Manager and can issue
rejection letter if, in their opinion, the
proposed or existing encroachment
interferes with the safety of the public,
the City or a utility provider, City’s
ability to access, maintain and operate
services on the City property or
interest, a utility provider’s ability to
access, maintain and operate its utility
infrastructure on a City property or
interest, the public’s ability to access
City-owned land intended for public
use, for its use and enjoyment; or is not
in the best interests of the City or the
citizens of Calgary.
In this case, however, none of the
reasons placed under the law has been
mentioned for the said rejection. They
merely stated that no one has ever
been allowed to encroach in the past. I
believe that they acted either in furtherance
of self-interest or
discriminatory sense against my
rights.
Additionally, the by-law requires
that upon denial of an application, The
Management must issue a letter indicating
the reasons for declining the
application. It is obvious none of this
was done.
This denial, in my opinion, is simply
malicious since the town will never
develop the section encroached. It is
also clear that the town does not know
where the town property lines are and
are getting them through the backs of
its residents and as a result of the
uncertainty; they requested for a Real
Property Report (RPR) in order to
ascertain the boundaries given by a
surveyor.
The application has been denied
despite the fact that it is within the
legally acceptable encroachment
parameters of 0.34 m and after payment
of requisite fee, it should have
been accepted. In my opinion, the town
is marred by rapid cases of corruption
and manipulations by a clique of
unethical individuals.
If the management’s final decision
after production of RPR is rejection,
then they should have issued me with a
notice of removal requiring me to
remove the encroachment.
However, the current position is that
they have breached the agreement and
assurance given to me by Patrick
Taylor, in his discharge of official duty,
which had given me the permission to
erect the fence, which I had already
acquired the material and commenced
on the construction.
At the very least, I am faced with
irreparable damage if this decision is
not rescinded. Further, they have also
moved to cut down two mature trees
on my property line under the pretext
that they were on their line. This
damage cannot be compensated
monetarily.
The ‘City’ Planning department,
under the stewardship of these rogue
officials has subjected me to mockery,
humiliation and mental anguish. I suspect
that I am not the only victim of
their harassment and threats. We need
to confront this emboldened clique at
all costs.
I reported the matter to the RCMP in
regards to threats giving to me by ‘city’
employees, who have taken it up. This
is just the beginning of pursuing
