PONOKA COUNTY PUBLIC HEARING June 19, 2012 A Public Hearing of Ponoka County was held in the County Council Chambers of the County Administration Building on Tuesday, June 19, 2012, with the following people in attendance: Councillor G. Svenningsen Councillor G. Hinkley Councillor P. McLauchlin Reeve K. Beebe Mr. C. Cutforth, Chief Administrative Officer Mr. T. Webber, Assistant Chief Administrative Officer Mrs. D. Raugust, Recording Secretary Councillor G. Verheire was absent. Call to Order Reeve Beebe called the hearing to order at 10:00 a.m. Purpose: Reclassification of Pt. SW W4 from Ag to PLC J & K Remyn The Hearing was called to consider concerns/objections to the proposal of Jack & Kathleen Remyn to rezone Pt. SW W4. Also in attendance were the applicants and 2 interested people. Mr. Cutforth reviewed the application to rezone 105 acres of the SW W4 from Agricultural District to Prime Location Commercial district to accommodate future subdivision and sale of the property. Correspondence from Ryan Andres, Planner with the West Central Planning Agency, advised that the County s Municipal Development Plan cited this land as Class 2 which should remain in agricultural use, however the location at the Hwy #2/Hwy #53 interchange is designated for possible industrial sites. The PLC district also allows commercial use. Comments should be requested from the adjacent municipality (Town of Ponoka) and from Alberta Transportation. WCPA supported the application based on the information given. Don Kern questioned the use of agricultural land for this purpose and was advised that due to the location, commercial/industrial development had been encouraged by the Provincial Government in order to keep these developments centralized. This type of development would not take away from the Town of Ponoka, rather it would enhance the growth and development of the whole area. Mr. Cutforth noted that the County would allow the developed property to be serviced by the Town and annexed by the Town in the long term. The County did not recruit any development in this area, but was willing to accommodate requests for rezoning in order to keep business in the area. Mr. Rick Bonnett advised that everyone wants the highway exposure and the heavy truck traffic was finding easier road access in the County. This type of development had not affected local businesses in other communities, such as Red Deer and Blackfalds. There were no further comments or concerns.
