6 MUNICIPAL PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: 5 May 2016 Subject: Bylaw No. B Boards Routed Through: n/a Date: 18 April 2016 Issue: Maidment Land Surveys Ltd. has applied on behalf of Westmark Holdings Ltd. to close and dispose of an unnamed lane on Plan , located within Cooper s Crossing Phase 22. The parcel was originally planned for a comprehensive R-3 development. It was later subdivided into 4 parcels with the subject lane provided as access to accommodate streetoriented attached dwelling product. The developer now feels that the site would be more appropriately developed as a comprehensive site with a private road network, and therefore wishes to consolidate the subdivided parcels and lane back into the original single lot. Background: Subject Lane: The subject laneway lands were originally subdivided as part of Coopers Crossing Phase 22B in July 2013, along with four fee simple Residential Low Density Multi-Dwelling District (R-3) lots. The developer has since determined that the site would be better suited to a 5

7 comprehensive development rather than fee simple product. This would allow for private roadways to access the residential lots within the site, rather than a public lane owned and maintained by the City. This proposal would dispose of the laneway lands, allowing the developer to consolidate the site back to its original single lot. The parcels to be consolidated, including the subject lane, are listed in the diagram and table below: The entire area provided as lane ROW is only 0.06 acres, and would not be conducive to development as it is currently configured. The value of the land as it stands would be 6

8 negligible and would negatively impact any proposed future development of the remaining R-3 parcel if it was left in its current form. As the parcel was contributed by the developer with the intention to provide access to their fee simple lots, and has no other value to the City or the Developer as it currently stands, and because the Developer is not able to cancel the subdivision plan without disposal of the roadway as per the Municipal Government Act, it would be logical to dispose of the lands and return them to the Developer for consolidation at no cost. This would both allow the development to proceed, and allow the City to ensure that development of the site unfolds in a more logical and desirable fashion. Alignment with AirdrieONE: This application has little relevance to, and is neither consistent nor inconsistent with, the direction of AirdrieONE. Boards Routed Through: N/A Alternatives/Implications: MPC has three alternatives with respect to the proposed bylaw: Alternative One: To recommend that Council adopts Bylaw No. B-06/2016. By choosing this alternative, MPC generally accepts the road closure proposal in the manner described in this report and recommends that Council gives Final Readings in favour of the proposal. Alternative Two: To recommend that Council tables Bylaw No. No. B-06/2016. By choosing this alternative, MPC encourages Council to delay a decision on the proposal until further information can be provided by staff. Alternative Three: To recommend that Council defeats Bylaw No. No. B-06/2016. By choosing this alternative, MPC rejects the lane closure and disposal described in this report and recommends that Council defeat the application. Communications Plan: A 60-day appeal period for the proposed lane closure and disposal was advertised in Airdrie City View on the following dates: February 4 th, 2016 February 11 th, 2016 February 18 th,

9 The appeal period closed on April 18 th, Following Municipal Planning Commission s recommendation and prior to the public hearing, the proposed lane closure will be advertised in Airdrie City View for a period of 14 days. Recommendation: That Municipal Planning Commission recommend that Council adopt Bylaw No. B-06/2016 as presented.
