STETTLER TOWN COUNCIL

Vacant lot to be Japanese pedway

ECA Review 

The Town of Stettler decided 

a vacant lot on Main Street will 

be renovated to become a 

Japanese park and pedestrian 

walkway linking the business 

zone with a nearby parking lot. 

The decision was made at the 

May 16 regular meeting of 

council. 

Councillors read a report 

from Manager of Planning and 

Development Leann Graham 

describing the odyssey of 4915 

50th Street, located immediately 

beside Tom’s Boots, and efforts 

to honour Stettler’s twin city in 

Japan. 

“In late 2020 the Town of 

Stettler acquired the property 

located at 4915 50 Street following 

compliance enforcement 

resulting in the demolition of a 

derelict building leaving the 

vacant parcel as it is today,” 

stated Graham’s report. 

“The property has been for 

sale by the town since early 

2021. 

“The economic development 

subcommittee as well as the 

downtown improvement committee 

identified a need to 

improve the former Hub 

parking lot which has resulted 

in the rebrand to Okoppe 

parking lot with improvements 

done to date. 

A large part of this discussion 

included creating connection 

from Main Street to the Okoppe 

parking lot. 

“Original discussions 

regarding the property at 4915 

50 Street as a connection point 

involved retaining a walkway 

and continuing to market the 

remainder property however in 

order to construct and maintain 

a functional and appealing 

walkway it was quickly determined 

that the remaining lands 

would not be suitable for development 

as the parcel would be 

far too narrow.” 

Graham described the lot as 

25 feet by 120 feet and about 

3,000 feet square. It’s currently 

zoned commercial and its 

assessed value is $42,840. 

Coun. Gord Lawlor stated he 

felt the twin city relationship 

with Okoppe, Japan is very 

much embraced but at the same 

time dormant in Stettler and 

the effort of naming a parking 

lot after Okoppe didn’t seem 

adequate enough. 

Along with conceptual art for 

the proposed park and walkway 

Graham also included photos of 

Okoppe’s park dedicated to 

Stettler which appears to 

include full-size train cars. 

Lawlor pointed out the proposed 

Okoppe park would be a 

pleasant place for residents and 

visitors to rest, eat a meal or 

socialize. 

“It really is a step in the right 

direction,” said Lawlor. 

Coun. Scott Pfeiffer stated 

features that attract people to 

Main Street are important. 

“I think this would be a great 

addition to our Main Street,” 

said Pfeiffer. 

Coun. Travis Randell noted 

the town’s relationship with 

Okoppe was approaching its 

35th anniversary, “...and all we 

had was a parking lot.” Randell 

added he feels the park and 

walkway will be popular with 

people. 

Mayor Sean Nolls pointed out 

the practical aspects of the 

project, including making the 

Okoppe parking lot much easier 

to access from Main Street, thus 

addressing demand for parking 

in the downtown core. Coun. 

Wayne Smith agreed with the 

mayor. 

Councillors unanimously 

approved by resolution The 

Economic Development Sub- 

Committee’s recommendation 

that the Town of Stettler 

approve the designation and 

retention of 4915 50 Street to be 

developed as “Okoppe Way” and 

further direct administration to 

proceed with initial designs and 

budget considerations.

ALIX COUNCIL 

Contract for much-needed lagoon work 

Stu Salkeld 

Local Journalism Initiative reporter 


Alix village council approved a contractor 

for much-needed work on the 

municipal lagoon after estimates for 

the work continued to skyrocket over 

the past few years. The decision was 

made at the May 17 regular meeting of 

council. 

After the meeting village Chief 

Administrative Officer (CAO) Michelle 

White provided the ECA Review with 

the tender information and resolution 

passed by council. 

The tender was prepared by MPE 

Engineering and it was noted in a May 

17 memo the tender included work on 

sewage lagoon cells 5 and 6. 

Three offers were received by the 

village, including Nu Edge 

Construction ($2,718,477.25), Bettenson 

Sand and Gravel ($3,496,379.75) and 

Boom Construction ($6,336,885.55). 

MPE noted in its memo Nu Edge, the 

low bidder, provided the proper 

bonding, insurance and safety qualifications 

so the engineering firm 

recommended that company be 

awarded the work. 

Councillors unanimously resolved 

that the Alix lagoon upgrade project be 

awarded to Nu 

Edge 

Construction Ltd. 

in the amount of 

$2,718,477.25. 

Over the past 

few years the village 

council was 

stymied by its 

efforts to upgrade 

the lagoon as 

inflation caused 

some estimates to 

grow by millions 

of dollars. 

When contacted 

May 18 about the 

tender award, 

Mayor Rob Fehr 

said it was “great 

news” to see the 

much-needed 

project proceed at 

last. 

Police

Councillors 

hosted newly 

appointed 

Bashaw RCMP 

commander Sgt. 

Trent Clevland at 

the meeting. Fehr 

said Clevland 

seems to be a 

communityminded 

guy and 

councillors were 

impressed with 

him. 

“He’s very 

invested, loves 

the area,” said 

Fehr. Bashaw had 

been waiting for a 

new full-time 

commander since 

S/Sgt. Bruce 

Holiday took over 

the Stettler 

detachment. 

The minimum 

amount 

Councillors 

passed a resolution 

that on at 

least three occasions 

this year 

the municipality 

will let residents 

know a minimum 

tax levy is coming to the Village of 

Alix in 2024. Such a levy is a minimum 

property tax bill regardless of the 

assessed value of a property. 

It was noted in the agenda memo 

that introducing a minimum property 

tax bill of $400 would affect about 8.5 

per cent of local taxpayers. 

Fehr stated councillors want staff to 

get information on the levy out to residents 

as soon as possible through 

multiple methods. 

Visitors to the lake 

Councillors passed a resolution to 

have a QR code designed which would 

link to a document which would be 

sent to an active email of choice, and 

which would be posted publicly on signage 

around Alix Lake. 

The idea was brought up at a previous 

council meeting that having a 

QR code that can be scanned by cell 

phones would allow visitors to the village 

to give feedback on their Alix 

Lake experience while letting the village 

know more about who is visiting 

the attraction. 

Mayor Fehr noted a written logbook 

is also going to be installed. 

For the record... 

Fehr stated councillors reviewed the

From the bottom our hearts 

Dear Editor, 

Anne Charpentier and all of the 

Charpentier, Wiart, Griebel, Boger and 

Melnick crew want to thank the community 

for their support during this 

heartbreaking time. 

Thank you to the firefighters for 

risking their lives to control the flames 

and salvaging what they could from 

the house. 

Thank you to those who dropped off 

food, clothes, care packages and left 

messages of kindness to all those 

affected. 

MAILBAG 

And thank you to Mother Nature for 

gifting us a heavy rain moments before 

that helped keep the fire from 

becoming more devastating. We are so 

grateful to be part of this tight-knit 

community that truly shows up in a 

challenge. 

Although we are sad that this beautiful 

home, and all of the memories it 

created, is no longer a fixture on the 

Castor Creek, we are ready to rebuild 

and create something equally as beautiful. 

From the bottom of our hearts, 

thank you!

The Community Builders 

Committee aims to preserve and showcase 

the Town of Stettler’s history. 

“The community builders committee 

aims to preserve and showcase 

our town’s history by sharing the stories 

of those who are critical in the 

development of the locally these locally 

crafted volume,” said Councillor 

Cheryl Barros 

The Backstrom family was recognized 

for “Pioneering in Major 

Construction Projects.” Roy and 

Charles Willis were acknowledged for 

“Pioneering in Media.” 

The Backstrom family was known 

for projects, including the Ransom 

School and the Stettler Courthouse. 

“So they [the Backstrom family] 

were true community stellar 

community builders, and we’re 

thrilled to honour them today,” 

Malcolm Fisher said. 

Charles and Roy Willis owned the 

Stettler Independent for over three 

generations. They came to Stettler 

right before the fire and, following it, 

had a chance to reinvent the newspaper 

and keep it running, said Carson 

Ellis, who wrote the biographies. 

“It’s interesting to see two very 

active and steady people that spent 

decades pushing for the well being of 

this town,” Ellis said when speaking 

about Charles and Roy Willis. 

The monuments now stand as 

lasting tributes to the Backstrom family’s 

significant construction legacy and 

the enduring impact of Charles and 

Roy Willis on Stettler’s media 

landscape. 

These commemorative installations 

in Pioneer Park will serve as 

reminders of the town’s rich history 

and the remarkable individuals who 

played pivotal roles in its development.

CLIVE COUNCIL 

Response to resident complaints about spending 

Stu Salkeld 



Clive village council responded to a 

delegation of residents who complained 

about the municipality spending too 

much money. The delegation appeared 

at the May 23 regular meeting of 

council, held one day later than usual 

because of the May long weekend. 

A group of Clive residents was led by 

A. Sayers who requested to appear at 

the meeting to discuss concerns that 

the village was spending too much 

money, especially on things the village 

might “want” as opposed to things the 

village “needs.” 

Sayers named a number of recent 

decisions the village council made, 

including two new flagpoles with a 

price tag of about $10,000, a project 

near the public library involving an 

outdoor piano with a village contribution 

of $4,000, the ongoing delays of 

hooking the village up to the Hwy. 

#12/21 Water Commission and recent 

discolouration of the village’s drinking 

water. 

Council of the day decided to engage 

in truth and reconciliation with First 

Nations and Metis people by displaying 

their flags in Clive; the flags required 

two new flagpoles. 

Henry stated municipalities received 

a call to action on this issue and the 

Clive council also quotes a land 

acknowledgment at the beginning of 

every meeting for the same purpose. 

Henry stated the flagpole project 

was originally priced at about $7,500 

but inflation bumped it up to about 

$10,000. 

When asked if the flagpole project 

was a necessity for Clive, Henry stated 

council discussed the project again in 

2021 and 2022 and decided to uphold 

the commitment the previous council 

made. 

Coun. Norma Penney stated she supported 

the flagpole project because 

truth and reconciliation is a valuable 

initiative and acknowledged it was a 

shame the project took so long because 

costs have climbed during that time. 

The outdoor piano project was a volunteer 

appreciation project that is 

partially funded by grants. 

When asked about a council pay 

raise, it was pointed out the seven per 

cent cost of living increase applies only 

to village staff, not the elected 

councillors. 

Other members of Sayers’ delegation 

stated that with the constant inflation 

in the economy many Clive residents 

are having a tough time making ends 

meet and they were asking councillors 

to remember this when they’re 

spending tax dollars. 

Mayor Henry then addressed the 

delays to hooking up to the Hwy. 

#12/21 Water Commission, acknowledging 

that the Village of Clive had 

STETTLER COUNTY COUNCIL 

Variance to yard set back 

Stu Salkeld 



The County of Stettler Municipal 

Planning Commission (MPC) granted 

a variance for buildings that didn’t 

meet the exact setbacks. The decision 

was made at the May 24 regular 

meeting of the MPC. 

Board members read an application 

for variance, which asked to allow two 

buildings to remain where they are 

despite not meeting certain setback 

distances. 

County Planner Rich Fitzgerald presented 

the application from property 

owners Thomas 

and Lindsay 

Nibourg for the 

property located 

at Lot 1 Block 1 

Plan 072 0433. 

“The applicant 

is proposing to 

bring the subject 

property into 

compliance by 

applying for a 16 

per cent variance 

to the front yard 

setback for the 

dwelling (109 feet 

instead of 125 

feet) and a 38 per 

cent variance for 

the ancillary 

building (78 feet 

instead of 125 

feet),” stated 

Fitzgerald’s 

report to the 

board. 

“The subject 

property is 

located adjacent 

to Hwy. 56 on the 

SE-17-40-20-W4. 

The subject 

parcel was created 

by 

subdivision in 

2007, and at that time access to the 

parcel was from an approach directly 

off of Hwy. 56. 

“A condition of subdivision was that 

the undeveloped road allowance for 

Twp Rd 40-2 be constructed to county 

standard and that access to the parcel 

was to be constructed off of that road 

allowance. By doing so, the front yard 

was now measured off of the Twp Rd 

and not Hwy. 56, and now the buildings 

that were in compliance do not meet 

the required setbacks. 

“The section of Twp Rd 40-2 that 

passes the subject property ends 

almost directly in front of the property.

been raising water rates modestly 

every year for the past few years to 

prepare residents for the hook up. 

The mayor stated the water commission’s 

rates were known to be higher 

than village residents were accustomed 

to and the village council didn’t 

want residents to get a large shock 

when commission rates came into 

effect. 

The CAO explained the commission 

may have been able to complete the 

Clive hook-up last winter but the village 

requested it wait until summer 

weather which would pose fewer challenges 

for village staff. 

Mayor Henry noted the water

commission is poised to complete 

Clive’s hook-up in mid-June and it 

appears that date is completely 

reliable. 

Lastly, Mayor Henry addressed the 

discoloured drinking water. Henry 

stated that according to Alberta 

Environment regulations the village, 

which has multiple water wells, is 

required to switch between them at 

certain times, which it recently did. 

The switching of the wells apparently 

is related to the discoloured 

water which poses no health risk, 

while it was also pointed out not every 

resident of Clive has observed the discoloured 

water.

Campsites available for evacuees

Castor AB

403 882 3244 



Coronation town council has agreed 

to open 10 campsites to those who have 

been evacuated due to the wildfires. 

The council recognized that people 

within the community have been 

affected by the fires as they may have 

family or friends who could need help. 

Administration will provide the relevant 

information to Alberta 

Emergency Management Agency 

(AEMA), allowing them to notify the 

affected communities about the availability 

of the sites. 

Proof of residency will be required 

to get the campsite at no cost. 

Trailer rental agreement 

Council started discussions around 

their trailer rental agreement for the 

food trailer. 

During their regular council 

meeting on May 23 the council opened 

discussion on what they should do for 

their trailer rental agreement. 

The proposal reads “the agreement 

outlines the terms and conditions 

under which the trailer can be rented 

by individuals or organizations for the 

purpose of selling food and beverages.” 

When people want to rent the trailer 

out they will have to have insurance of 

a specific amount and provide proof of 

insurance and food service permit 

certificate. 

There will be inspections before and 

after the trailer is rented to ensure 

that everything is in proper functioning 

condition and to ensure that 

nothing is damaged or missing. If 

there are any items missing or 

damaged the renter will be responsible 

for replacing or repairing the item at 

their own cost. 

Council is still discussing what they 

are going to do for delivery fees within 

the town of Coronation and how far out 

of town they are going to allow the 

trailer. 

The council discussed getting staff 

to deliver the trailer if it is needed in 

town but they determined that for further 

out of town if they allow it, the 

renter would have to pick up the 

trailer. 

Council is continuing discussions 

around the food trailer and the rental 

agreement. 

Rising break and enter crimes 

Council received their quarterly 

Community Policing Report which 

covers Jan. 1 to March 31, 2023. 

“This information serves to provide 

a quarterly snapshot of the human 

resources, financial data and crime 

statistics for the Coronation RCMP,” 

said Sgt. John Pike, detachment commander 

of the Coronation RCMP in a 

letter to CAO Quinton Flint. 

“The sharing of quarterly reports 

demonstrates our ongoing commitment 

to transparency while delivering 

the high level of policing services that 

you, and the citizens you represent, 

have come to expect from the Alberta 

RCMP.” 

Coronation council discussed how 

the Coronation RCMP would still have 

a lot of work to do regarding property 

crime and traffic violations. 

There has been a 900 per cent 

increase in break and enter crimes 

during this quarter compared to 2019. 

From Jan. 1 till March 31, 2019 there 

were two break and enter crimes and 

from Jan. 1 till March 31 2023 there 

have been 20 break and enter crimes 

committed. 

There has been a downward trend in 

the theft of motor vehicles during the 

 

CASTOR COUNCIL 

Castor bike safety 



The children in Castor are receiving 

certificates from the RCMP when they 

are seen riding their bikes with helmets 

on. 

During the regular council meeting 

on May 23 the Town of Castor council 

discussed seeing an increased amount 

of RCMP presence in the town. 

They have noticed that the RCMP 

has been pulling over children on their 

bikes and handing out certificates if 

they have a helmet on. 

“They pulled over two little dudes 

right on my driveway. Their eyes were 

getting pretty big and then he handed 

them the certificates,” said Mayor 

Richard Elhard. 

The council agreed that they have 

seen most of the children around town 

wearing helmets while riding their 

bikes. 

There was also a RCMP Bike Safety 

Rodeo on May 29 in front of the Castor 

RCSS building. This event is to promote 

bike safety and to teach children 

the proper way to follow the rules 

quarter in 2022 there were 17 crimes 

and this year there have only been 

four crimes committed. 

The Coronation RCMP says they are 

committed to the security of Albertans 

as they transition towards spring. 

when riding a bike. 

Following the Bike Safety Rodeo 

Victim Services put on a barbecue. 

Memorial bench 

Castor town council approved a 

request from Kay Brown to place a 

memorial bench between the Town 

Office and the library. 

This request was brought to the 

council during their regular meeting 

on May 23. 

The bench would be similar to the 

other ones that are placed around the 

town and would be paid for by Brown. 

“It’s in memory of the Houser family 

and that was Kay’s parents who used 

to live on a farm outside of Castor,” 

Elhard said. 

Elhard said that the family was a 

longtime pioneer family and that 

Brown wanted to do something to recognize 

them. 

Council agreed that the memorial 

bench would be nice to have as long as 

it was similar to the other memorial 

benches.

OBITUARY 

Family and horses, a big part of her life 

Verleen Joan Spady 

(Housch) 

1935 – 2023 

Verleen Joan (Housch) 

Spady was born on Sept. 9, 

1935, Verleen was the third 

child of five to John and Ella 

Housch. 

Growing up near Spondin, 

Alta. she and her siblings 

spent many hours playing in 

the barn, climbing 

hay bales and 

playing with kittens. 

Verleen always preferred 

working 

outside to being in 

the house. 

She attended 

Grand Ridge School 

until Grade 8. From 

Grade 8 to 10, she 

attended school in Spady 

Spondin. In Grade 11, 

she left home to 

attend Hanna High School 

where she boarded in a 

home which she had to help 

with household chores to 

pay her keep. To graduate 

high school, she moved to a 

private boarding school, 

Canadian Union College in 

Lacombe, Alta. 

After high school, she 

attended the University of 

Alberta to earn her teaching 

degree. 

Her first teaching job was 

in Dorothy, Alta. followed by 

Halkirk, Alta. This is where 

she would meet the love of 

her life, Harold Spady. 

Harold and Verleen married 

on Sept. 12, 1959. 

Settling in the Battle River 

Valley near Alliance, Alta. 

they would welcome three 

sons Jack, Travis and Brian. 

In the early days of their 

marriage, Harold and 

Verleen raced thoroughbred 

horses across North 

America. This meant 

raising three busy boys on 

the road as well as managing 

the ranch at home. 

Spending summers in hotel 

rooms and eight-foot snub 

nose campers was not for 

the faint of heart, but 

Verleen always managed to 

balance both, while maintaining 

a bountiful garden 

and beautiful flowers. 

In 1976, they decided the 

racetrack was no place to 

raise their boys and turned 

to ranching full-time. 

Verleen returned to 

teaching kindergarten at the 

Alliance School as well as 

the Southbend Colony. 

She was very active in the 

community, through the 

Women’s Institute and various 

boards and committees. 

She was instrumental in 

creating the first 4-H Horse 

Club in Alliance and led the 

club for several years. 

Verleen would spend her 

winters curling and hauling 

her boys to sporting events. 

About the same time, 

Harold and 

Verleen built one 

of the first outdoor 

team 

roping arenas in 

the area, and the 

family’s passion 

for rodeo began. 

In 1983, they 

built an indoor 

arena and would 

Squeeze 

host weekly rope nights and 

monthly team roping 

jackpots. 

There were always socials 

to follow these events and 

Verleen ensured no one left 

without being fed and 

watered. 

Verleen spent many years 

supporting Harold and her 

boys going down the road to 

rodeos. Rodeos 

captured two of 

her favourite 

things – travelling 

and visiting. 

This included 

trips to Yakima, 

Washington, 

Douglas, 

Wyoming, … and 

spending winters 

in Arizona. 

When Harold 

began Senior 

Pro Rodeo, he convinced 

Verleen to enter the ribbon 

roping. Thus began her competitive 

career as a ribbon 

roping runner. Through 

their years in rodeo, they 

made many life-long friends. 

In 1998, Harold and 

Verleen returned to the 

racetrack in Edmonton. You 

could always tell where they 

were stabled because of the 

magnificent flowers Verleen 

kept. She cleaned stalls, hotwalked 

horses and kept the 

cleanest alley in the barn. 

Verleen always had the 

coffee on, and she welcomed 

anyone who wished to stop 

for a visit or some motherly 

advice. 

Verleen’s life was shattered 

in June of 2006 when 

she lost the love of her life, 

Harold. Still with a stable 

full of horses, Verleen 

returned to the track just 

three weeks later to finish 

the job her and Harold had 

started. 

At 70 years old, she earned 

a trainers license, and with 

the help of family and 

friends, she continued 

Harold’s legacy for two more 

seasons. With a stable of 

seven horses, she earned six 

wins and various placings. 

Verleen loved to travel. 

Whenever opportunity 

arose, she took advantage of 

seeing the world. Prior to 

leaving she’d often ponder 

why she was going, only to 

return claiming it was the 

best trip ever. She never 

missed a niece or nephew’s 

destination wedding, though 

her favourite was her 

grandson Cole’s wedding in 

Jamaica. 

The highlight of each trip 

was spending time with her 

family and friends. 

For many years the 

Spady’s summer vacation 

was a horse-back trip into 

the mountains. Verleen 

always looked forward to the

only the mountains possess and 

could always find a wildflower 

to admire. 

Cooking over an open fire and 

washing her hands and 

brushing her teeth straight out 

of a cold mountain stream, were 

things she cherished. At 85 

years old, with family and 

friends, she rode a wagon 20 

miles into the Clearwater to 

enjoy the camaraderie of a 

mountain trip once again. 

Coffee time was everyday at 

10:30 a.m., the work stopped and 

the family (and sometimes 

friends) gathered around 

Verleen’s kitchen table. Most 

days there were homemade 

sweets to enjoy. She cherished 

this time with everyone as she 

listened to the updates and 

plans of what everyone had 

going on. 

There were often laughs, 

attempts to solve world problems 

and the odd scolding for 

gates left open. If you were late 

or missed it, she always called 

wondering where you were at. 

Saturdays were set aside for 

church, as faith 

was very important 

to Verleen. 

She spent her 

days reading, gardening 

and was 

always up for a 

game of cards. 

She especially 

loved bridge as 

well as the people 

who she played 

with and spent 

many afternoons 

entertaining this 

hobby. After the 

games were done, 

the fun wasn’t as 

she usually 

stopped for a sip of 

wine or bite to eat 

with one of her 

many friends. 

Verleen held a 

special place in 

her heart for her 

grandchildren. 

The bond she 

shared with each 

of them was 

immeasurable. 

Always a listening 

ear and a caring 

heart, making 

each of them feel 

special in their 

own way. Her great-grandchildren 

brought a twinkle to her 

eye. 

She had the ability to make 

everyone around her want to be 

a better person, she will be 

greatly missed by all who knew 

her and loved her. 

She passed away peacefully at 

Our Lady of Rosary Hospital 

May 24 in Castor. 

She leaves behind her loving 

family, son Jack (Melody)

Timothy William Bullick was born June 17, 

1958 in Coronation and passed away on May 20, 

2023 in Alix at the age of 64 years. 

Tim was a loving husband, father, grandfather, 

and friend to so many. He was a Charolais 

enthusiast who would sit down anytime to 

talk cattle. He loved spending time with his 

family and friends creating fun adventures for 

everyone. Tim spent so much time at his land at 

Alix setting up a zip line and Timmy’s Tree Top 

adventure in anticipation of all the kids coming 

for a weekend in the summer. Tim’s favourite 

times were spent watching all the kids run 

around and listening to the sounds of laughter.

granddaughters Indy and Scarlet; and his daughter Tanisha. Tim also leaves 

to mourn his parents Bill and Bubbles; brothers Ron (Deb) and Dan; sisters

STETTLER COUNCIL 

County gives nod 

Stu Salkeld 



The County of Stettler Municipal 

Planning Commission (MPC) gave its 

approval to a property owner’s private 

campground after it was found the site 

originally didn’t have a development 

permit or a certified sewer system. The 

decision was made at the May 24 regular 

meeting of the MPC. 

The MPC is comprised of county 

council and chaired by Coun. James 

Nibourg. 

County Planner Rich Fitzgerald presented 

the development permit 

application from Steven Chahley for a 

5.84 acre parcel of land at NW-7-40- 

20-W4 to allow a recreational vehicle 

(RV) as a dwelling unit along with a 

variance to allow a second RV as a 

dwelling unit on the same parcel. 

According to staff the RVs and septic 

tank were already there. 

Fitzgerald noted the land is currently 

zoned agriculture. 

“During site inspections last fall, 

planning staff 

noted that two 

RVs were present 

on the property, 

and appeared to 

be in use,” stated 

Fitzgerald’s 

report. 

“Planning staff 

advised the landowner 

that a 

development 

permit was 

required to continue 

using the 

RV’s on the 

property.” 

Fitzgerald 

noted the property 

owner 

submitted an 

application in 

spring but wasn’t complete, missing 

information about wastewater 

disposal. 

“Planning staff advised the applicant 

at that time that the RVs would be 

required to be connected to a certified 

wastewater system and their site plan 

needed to indicate what type of system 

was going to be used, and where it 

would be located,” stated the planner’s 

report. 

“Planning staff then became aware 

that earthworks was taking place on 

the property. The landowner was contacted 

at that time and advised a stop 

order may be issued for the property if 

the landowner continued to develop 

the lot without the benefit of a permit.” 

Fitzgerald reported the property 

owner then submitted a site plan that 

included the location of a septic tank 

and it was later revealed after a site 

inspection that the property owner 

already installed the septic tank himself, 

“...and was unable to provide the 

certification for the system.

AGRICULTURE 

Roadside development permit needed 

Cont’d from Pg 11 

Fitzgerald pointed out the 

impromptu campground also required 

a roadside development permit from 

the Alberta government because the 

site was within 300 metres of a provincial 

highway. Apparently the property 

owner has applied for this but has yet 

to receive it. 

The applicant Chahley attended the 

MPC meeting by phone, and the chair 

explained to him that the first RV 

required a development permit, the 

second one required a variance, the 

septic tank required installation by 

properly certified people and the roadside 

development permit was needed, 

to all of which Chahley stated he 

understood. 

Fitzgerald noted that among the 

many conditions included in a possible 

approval one of the biggest was the 

wastewater tank that’s already buried 

on the site must be inspected by a certified 

contractor. 

Coun. Justin Stevens asked if the 

Variance 

approved 

Cont’d from Pg 5 

There are several wetlands to the west 

in the road allowance, so future construction 

would be difficult to do. The 

County of Stettler currently has no 

intentions to expand this section of 

road.” 

Fitzgerald stated the application was 

sent to the rest of the County of 

Stettler’s departments and there were 

no concerns. It was noted at the 

meeting the region is zoned agriculture 

and does not lie in any 

intermunicipal development plan. 

Fitzgerald explained setbacks are 

calculated using a formula but the 

MPC has the authority to issue a variance 

and permit the buildings to stay 

where they are if they, “...do not cause 

unreasonable hardship and would not 

unduly interfere with the amenities of 

the neighbourhood or materially interfere 

with or affect the use, enjoyment 

or value of adjacent parcel of land.” 

“It is in the opinion of the development 

authority that the location of the 

dwelling and the ancillary building 

pose no issues with neighbouring 

lands and do not interfere with the use 

or enjoyment of any adjacent lands,” 

stated the planner in his report. He 

pointed out when the buildings were 

built they met the standards of the 

time. 

Fitzgerald added that if the variance 

was granted, it would apply only to the 

existing buildings and if any additions, 

expansions or new structures were 

proposed a new development permit 

would be needed. 

Board members unanimously 

approved the application for variance. 

approach into the parcel 

needs work. Fitzgerald 

answered the approach is 

fine as it was built by the 

county at the parcel’s 

creation. 

During discussion it was 

pointed out the parcel in 

question is inside the 

Buffalo Lake Intermunicipal 

Development Plan but outside 

the growth node. 

Coun. Les Stulberg asked 

if Chahley plans to build a 

house on the site and 

Chahley answered no, the 

parcel was purchased to be 

used as a summer campground 

for he and his 

family. 

Chahley added other 

family members may visit 

the site over summer as 

well. 

Chair Nibourg stated that 

the County of Stettler has 

had issues with campgrounds 

over the years and 

there has been a public 

backlash against such 

developments. 

Board members eventually 

voted 5 to 2 in favour of 

approving Chahley’s development 

permit application 

including the variance but 

with a number of conditions 

including that the site can’t 

be occupied until the wastewater 

and roadside 

development permit are 

straightened out.
