21 Red Deer County 'r -';'ITI SENTEE: TO COUNCIL DATE '-o't `;`9(')/ FILE AUGUST 21, 2012 ADMINISTRATION REPORT Date: August 1, 2012 Memo To: County Council From: Planning & Development Services Subject: NE / 49.3 Hectares (123.4 Acres) / Zoned AG / Division 5 / File R Roll No PURPOSE: To hold a Public Hearing for Bylaw No. 2012/2.03 to re-designate 8.68 hectares (21.25 acres) of a 49.3 hectare (123.4 acre) parcel within part of the NE , from Agricultural District (AG) to Public Service District (PS) to facilitate the future subdivision and development of a private school, and associated church, cemetery, playground and parking lot. 2.0 SUMMARY: First Reading of Bylaw No. 2012/2.03, to re-designate the subject property, was granted on July 24, The Spruce View Area Structure Plan was amended by Bylaw No. 2012/3, on April 24, 2012 to allow for the potential re-designation of the subject area from Agricultural District to Public Service District to facilitate the future subdivision and development of a private school, associated church, cemetery, playground, and parking lot. The subject area is located directly adjacent to the southwest boundary of the Hamlet of Spruce View. Access to the proposed site will be from 20 1h Street, (Range Road 31). Through the referral process, Administration have been advised that the existing reservoir servicing in Spruce View is near its design capacity and may not be capable of supplying adequate fire flow protection to the proposed development. Red Deer County Operations Department recommended that a water servicing study be conducted to determine if Spruce View's water wells and reservoir are capable of servicing the proposed new development. The Spruce View Infrastructure Study is nearing completion and it will be used to establish a five to ten year capital plan to bring forward to Council this coming budget season. The Applicant is proposing to service the school with on site water and sewer services. It is recommended that as a condition of subdivision approval, connection to the Hamlet of Spruce View's water and sewer systems, which are currently located at the south end of 21 m Street and the south end of Dickson Road (Range Road 31), will be required. The connection to the water system will not occur until such time as capacity has been increased to accommodate the development. Sewer service capacity is not an issue, so sewer service should be connected to Spruce View sewer system at the time of development. The Red Deer County Operations Department has also advised that there is an intermittent watercourse that runs through the treed area which starts approximately two miles to the north west of this property. The lands surrounding the watercourse have periodically flooded in the past, therefore it is recommended that a flood plain assessment be conducted prior to any development commencing on this property. Alberta Transportation has indicated that a Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) may be required which would identify whether the proposed development would impact the safe operation of the highway and if intersection improvements are necessary to accommodate the turning movement of traffic generated by the proposed development. Any improvements required to the existing intersection will be at the developer's cost. &ADEPT.

22 Although Burnt Lake Gas Co-Op had no issues with the proposed development, they are concerned with construction on this site potentially affecting their main natural gas pipeline which runs through the property. This pipeline currently serves the people located south of the Hamlet of Spruce View. Staff will bring forward a report to consider third and final reading of this zone amending bylaw, concurrently with Council's consideration of the plan of subdivision. On June 12, 2012 a referral letter was sent to both internal and external stakeholders as well as all adjacent landowners to notify them of the proposed re-designation of 8.68 hectares (21.25 acres) to facilitate a subdivision and construction of a private school, playground, church, cemetery, and parking lot. To date no letters of objection or concern have been received. 3.0 ALTERNATIVES: a) Grant second reading of Bylaw No. 2012/2.03 to re-designate 8.68 hectares (21.25 acres) of a 49.3 hectare (123.4 acre) parcel within part of the NE , from Agricultural District (AG) to Public Service District (PS). b) Postpone second reading; or c) Deny, sating reasons. 5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS: To grant second reading for Bylaw 2012/2.03 to re-designate 8.68 hectares (21.25 acres) from Agricultural District (AG) to Public Service District (PS) within part of the NE to facilitate a subdivision and development of a private school, and associated church, cemetery, playground and parking lot.
