RM of Edenwold No. 158

Development Process for Sunshine Community Developments

May 22, 2019

Provide the Town of Pilot Butte Council with accurate

and up-to-date information regarding the Sunshine Communities Development proposal including:

 Proposed cemetery  Other potential land uses

Clarify the development process and municipal

requirements

Objective

Our role as planners is not to help the developer get

buy-in from the community, but rather to ensure that everyone is aware of the facts related to the proposal and the development process

Role

Plan of Proposed Subdivision

Parcel A – intended

use of a cemetery (red)

3 roadways to

provide access to Parcel A (grey)

All other parcels

shown in yellow are concepts (ideas) at this time

Cemetery

31 acres Subdivision of Parcel A and 3 roadways

has been approved by the Community Planning Branch (province)

“Cemetery” is a permitted use in the

Agricultural Resource District in the RM

Servicing Agreement has been signed

with the RM for road construction standards and requirements (with security provided)

Cemetery

The concept for the cemetery is that

there will be different zones with specific design elements catering to cultural preferences for different groups such as:

section for the Islamic faith section for the Jewish faith section for the Catholic faith

Layout plan is still being revised

Cemetery

Developer has applied to the

Registrar’s Office under the Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority (province) for cemetery approval

Registrar has requested a site

characterization and assessment report to assess the risk to the groundwater resources

Cemetery – Site Characterization and Assessment Study

Includes results of test drilling and

piezometer installation to determine the local geological and hydrogeological environment

Must be completed by a qualified

person registered with APEGS

Must include “a statement of the risks

associated to the groundwater resources, the suitability of the site for the development of a cemetery and the short and long term impacts of the cemetery to existing users”

Cemetery – Requirements

 If the developer obtains approval for the

cemetery from the registrar, then he will apply for a development permit from the RM of Edenwold for the construction of the cemetery

 He will be required to provide the

following items for consideration by the Planning Department:

Development permit application Layout plan (plot plan) Site drainage and grading plan Copy of groundwater study highlighting

any required mitigation measure to protect water quality

Other Potential Land Uses

 2 lots for senior’s complexes

(carehomes)

 1 lot for reception hall and

funeral parlour (with crematorium)

 44 residential lots (single

detached)

 1 municipal reserve park

space

 1 environmental reserve

space (adjacent to Boggy Creek)

 2 additional roads  walkway

Other Potential Land Uses

All potential land uses are conceptual

at this time

The developer and his team are

working on a report summarizing the feedback collected at the open house and since the open house

The report will be presented to the

Council of the RM of Edenwold with a copy to be shared with the Town’s Council

Future Requirements

If the developer decides to pursue the

proposal, then he will be required to prepare a Concept Plan and Comprehensive Development Proposal

These documents include detailed

information regarding the proposal including land uses and densities, preliminary engineering, potential impacts of the development, consideration of market conditions, etc.

Application for subdivision and re-zoning (potential adoption of Concept Plan as an amendment to the OCP) Concept Plan and Comprehensive Development Proposal - presentation to Council with request for approval Integration of feedback, revisions to the proposal Concept Plan and Comprehensive Development Proposal - presentation to the public for feedback (public forum)

Future Requirements

The municipality may use contract

zoning to restrict the development standards and/or land uses within the subdivision

Contract Zoning is appropriately used in

cases where the municipality wants to be more restrictive than what is otherwise allowed within the general zoning districts

Communications

There have been some communications (videos, website items)

produced by the developer that have appeared to be inconsistent

Developers are responsible for all communications (advertising,

websites, videos, etc)

The municipality can provide comments and recommendations, but

cannot require changes to the content

The RM has provided recommendations to the developer and asked

for changes to be made to ensure accuracy, consistency and transparency

Thank you!
