The foremen left the meeting at this time
The meeting then adjourned for dinner between 12.00 Noon and A
DINNER
1.00 P M
Mrs Wilkinson returned to the meeting at this time
Ross Rawlusyk from Palliser Regional Planning Commission,
and Alex Cunningham entered the meeting
Mr. Des Carney was also present to discuss his subdivision
application with council
DES CARNEY
SUBDIVISION
Ross reviewed with council the staff report prepared with
regard to the subdivision application submitted by 261106
Alberta Ltd. a company owned by Des and Pat Carney of Three
S2 10- 31 -21 -4
Hills The application concerned the South half of 10 -31-
21-4 and they wish to create a 61 40 acre subdivision in the
kc�--'Lvr
South half The staff of the Commission
suggest the subdivision be refused as one of the buildings
(house) is within 200 feet of the Red Deer River, the parcel
is in excess of 10 acres in size and exceeds the M D
suggestion of 3 acres in size
Mr Carney noted he wanted to discuss with council his
reason for not wishing to have the entire area surveyed as
he had previously suggested he would be willing to do
He was advised a survey would be very expensive due to
the need to traverse the Red Deer River banks and he
did not wish to incur that large expense if it was not
necessary He had therefore revised his proposed
subdivision plans and was requesting creation of a
64 acre parcel, as this could be created by description and
would not require a survey
There was discussion about the ability to create several
other parcels merely by obtaining certification of legal access
as well as the status of the road which provides
access to the buildings on the proposed parcel It was
noted the access road is not legal access Legal access to
the proposed parcel is obtained from the road shown on road
plan 6282 B M , but physical access to the parcel would be
obtained by use of the access road which crosses the
remainder of the SW of 10 Construction of a road from the
legal road on Plan 6282 B M would be very expensive due to
the topography of the area (very steep hills).
There was also discussion about the size of the parcel being
requested and Mr Carney noted the land is worthless due to
the topography He felt there might be 10 to 15 acres of
usable land, and the balance of the parcel would be steep
hills However as there is a good building site on the
property with gas, a well, and telephone line, as well as a
partially completed residence, they wish to find a way to
make use of the building site He noted there is a party
interested in purchasing the proposed subdivision.
Mr Code noted that the gas line to the building site may be
a private line There was further discussion about the
size of the parcel, the survey costs which would be involved
if a subdivision was created by means of a plan of survey,
and the Gulf Canada easement which is registered against the
land Mr. Carney noted that the access road shown on the
proposed subdivision application is in fact the Gulf Canada
easement which they use to gain access to a well on the
land The previous land owners made use of the road
constructed by Gulf Canada on the easement in order to gain
access to their buildings
Mr. Carney then left the meeting - Time 1:45 P M.
After further discussion about this matter, Mr Hastie moved
to recommend refusal of the subdivision application
submitted by 261106 Alberta Ltd , for the S 1/2 of 10- 31 -21-

Mr Cunningham, Mr Rawlusyk and Mr. Keim returned to the
meeting at this time
Mr Keim was advised that Council is concerned about the
proximity of an intensive hog operation to the land he
wishes to redesignate and the possibility of odors causing a
problem for the school they propose to develop on the land
NO 1089
NO
The Council wonder what the feeling of the Academy is with
regard to the intensive operation and whether they would be
prepared to live with the problems of odors and manure
spreading close to the school
Ross noted that anyone who claims to be affected by the
proposed amendment had the right to attend the public
hearing and set forth their objections
Mr Kelm noted to the best of his knowledge the Academy
would not wish to put anyone out of business, but only wish
to exercise their right to educate their children in the
manner they see fit
Mr Kelm noted he felt council was dragging their feet in
making a decision on their application, and the Academy will
build their school with the knowledge that there is an
intensive hog operation close to the school
Council indicated they would like a letter from the Academy
n'J
stating they would have no objection to the hog operation
1O
continuing in such close proximity to the proposed school
Ross noted that if the Academy intend to develop a school on
the land it would have to obtain a development permit and
council could direct the matter of the proximity of the hog
operation be handled at the development permit stage.

COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 25TH, 1986
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
Mr Keim noted that people had an opportunity to be present
at the public hearing today, and therefore council cannot
consider any additional comments or information concerning
this application for redesignation
Mr Keim then left the council meeting
Mr Eric Vouri of Department of Forests entered the meeting
at this time. Mr Jeffery reported that Roger Packham of
SWAT,
Alta Fish and Wildlife had contacted Mr Soder and indicated
RESERVOIR
the government will no longer stock the Swalwell Dam
& NEW
with fish as they will be developing a new
RESERVOIR
reservior on the South East of 24- 29 -25 -4 Therefore they
BE ESTABLISHED
do not wish the M D to install the toilet facilities at
BY GOV'T
Swalwell Mr Vouri was here today to review this matter
with council
Mr Vouri noted the government had acquired about 104 acres
from Schissels and propose to up -grade the old dam which was
on this property and create a 20 acre lake for wildlife
habitat The funding for acquisition of the land came from
the Province general revenue based on an application made
by the Bucks for Wildlife Department The lake will be deep
enough to overwi.nter fish and they propose to provide
decent toilet facilities, garbage disposal units and
good roads to the site It is likely they will not stock
Swalwell Reservoir any more as the fish there usually do not
survive over the winter
Mr Vouri noted his department is also looking at the
possible acquisition of the P Schmidt Lagoon site just south
of Three Hills However as the funding for land acquisition
does come from provincial general revenue, it may be a few
years before funding for this project would be available.
It is therefore possible that Swalwell will be stocked with
fish for this year and possibly 1987, however no definite
decision has been made as yet
He also noted to deepen the Swalwell Reservoir to avoid
winter kill of the fish is much more expensive than
creating an entire new reservoir. However he suggested the
Swalwell Dam area might be maintained by the M D as a
wildlife project - for bird watching, and possibly for
nesting platforms for birds
He also noted the Fish and Wild Life Department might
consider continuing to stock the Swalwell Dam at a reduced
rate.
Council expressed concern that they did not know anything
about the proposal to acquire land and establish a new
reservoir until after the land was purchased and surveyed
There was concern expressed that the 50 acres not acquired
by the province is isolated and does not have any legal
access Mr Vouri noted the government had granted an
easement across the reservoir land to provide access to the
50 acres He also noted that provision of the Planning Act
does not apply to the Provincial Government
In answer to a question he indicated perhaps council should
consider not installing the toilets at the Swalwell Dam as
they would be better used at the new reservoir site and the
funds provided to acquire the toilet facilities came from
an Alberta Fisheries grant program which was established to
provide better facilities for fishing areas
Mr Vouri noted that Mr. Doug Lowe of Alberta Fish and
Wildlife will have to make the final decision about whether
Swallwell Dam will be stocked with fish or not.

COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 25TH 1986
-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
There was discussion about whether creation of the new
reservoir will create a demand for a campground at this
location and Mr Vouri indicated his department does not
operate campgrounds, but a private individual might be able
to operate such a facility at the site He also noted they
cannot regulate overnight use of the site
Mr Vouri noted he would discuss the stocking of the dam
with Mr Doug Lowe and have him get back to council
shortly. He asked what council would feel about
development of the P Schmidt Lagoon site and this matter was
reviewed with him briefly He was advised that the area
was previously used for coal mining operations
Mr Vouri was thanked for coming and he left the meeting
Time 3:45 P M
Ross reviewed the application received from Mert McGhee
for isolation of an existing farmstead of 44 59 acres
The proposed parcel contains 44 59 acres and there are two
residences The applicants made the parcel size this large
in order to avoid the necessity of surveying the parcel
The proposed parcel contains the coulee area and sufficient
area to bring the south boundary close to the existing
forced road which provides access to the homestead
After discussion of this matter and review of the staff
report, Mr Maerz moved that the M D recommend approval of
the isolation as long as the applicant reduces the parcel
size by moving the south boundary of the proposed parcel
north to the shelter belt and on condition a waiver can be
obtained from the Alberta Planning Board to cover Section 22
of the Planning Act

HOSPITAL
care wing
REQUEST
There was discussion about this matter and Mr Code noted
that the Drumheller Health Unit has been forced to impose a
limit of 321 persons who can receive home care through the
Health Unit, even through there are 350 people who have
5"r.
requested this type of assistance This limit is necessary
as the government will not provide any additional funding to
the Health Unit

the Three Hills Health Care Center be forwarded a letter
stating the M D. has no objections to the request being made
for the addition of an auxiliary care wing to the hospital,
due to the number of people who require this kind of service
and the lack of additional funding for the Home Care
Facilities of the Drumheller Health Unit
