Subject: Village of Linden & Kneehill County Intermunicipal Development Plan
Meeting Date: Tuesday, September 10, 2019
Presented By: Barb Hazelton, Manager of Planning and Development
Link to Strat Plan: Ensuring Communications & Engagement
Recommended
Motion:
1. That Council move first reading of Bylaw 1801 for the Linden/Kneehill IDP
2. That Council move to schedule the Public Hearing for the Linden/Kneehill
IDP, as per Section 606 of the Municipal Government Act, to be held on
October 8, 2019 at 10:00 a.m.
Background/
Proposal
In the spring of 2018, amendments to the Municipal Government Act came into
effect including the requirement for all municipalities who share a boundary to work
together to adopt an Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP). The purpose of these
plans is to foster a collaborative planning approach for lands along the common
border between the two municipalities. This will ensure that certain identified areas
are viewed with regional perspective. By implementing a plan that contains both
guidelines for future uses as well as agreed dispute mechanisms, urban and rural
municipalities can reach agreement without negative impacts on either municipality.
From the perspective of both municipalities, enhanced management of the land
within the IDP area identified will prove advantageous for the long-term interests of
the municipalities and their residents.
Discussion/
Options/
Benefits/
Disadvantages:
A proposed draft was created and the administration and the assigned Committee
from both Kneehill County and the Village of Linden have met to review and revise
the proposed draft. The draft that has been attached is the outcome of this review.
This draft notes the following objectives:
• It provides a framework for collaboration when developing lands within the
IDP area.
• It promotes open communication between the Village, County, the public,
and interested stakeholders.
• It promotes respect for each other’s jurisdictional autonomy and integrity.
• It provides a framework for the provision of services and infrastructure
required for the joint planning area that demonstrates an equitable, efficient
and proactive approach.
• It is a guide to collaboratively plan for lands within the IDP area that will
promote opportunities for residential, commercial, industrial and economic
development while minimizing land use and environmental impacts.
The next step in the process is to provide an opportunity for public comments and
feedback.

INTRODUCTION
Kneehill County and the Village of Linden recognize that intermunicipal planning is an effort between two
or more municipalities to make long term land use planning decisions. The preparation of an
Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) is to foster a collaborative planning approach which will work
towards avoiding future land use conflicts, for lands along the common border. This will ensure that
certain identified areas are viewed with a regional perspective. By implementing a plan that contains both
guidelines for future uses as well as agreed dispute mechanisms, urban and rural municipalities can reach
an agreement without negative impacts on either municipality. From the perspective of both
municipalities, enhanced management of the land within the IDP area identified on the map as Plan Area,
will prove advantageous for the long-term interests of the municipalities and their residents.
MUTUAL OBJECTIVES
The two municipalities agree:
To develop an IDP framework for how the County and the Village will collaborate together in order
to plan and develop lands contained within the IDP Area.
To promote open communication between the municipalities, the public, and interested
stakeholders, and provide meaningful involvement and consultation.
To respect each other’s jurisdictional autonomy and integrity.
To provide a framework for the provision of services and infrastructure required for the Plan Area
that demonstrates an equitable, efficient and proactive approach.
To utilize the IDP as a guide to collaboratively plan for lands within the IDP Area that will promote
opportunities for residential, commercial, industrial and economic development while minimizing
land use and environmental impacts.
PURPOSE AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES
This IDP has been prepared in accordance with the Municipal Government Act which encourages
cooperation and coordination between neighbouring municipalities with regard to planning matters in the
vicinity of their joint boundaries. The IDP creates a shared vision for future growth by establishing a long-
term strategy balancing the interests of both municipalities. This IDP intends to promote ongoing
coordination, collaboration and cooperation between the two municipalities by providing a framework to
discuss planning matters that affect and influence one another.
The Village of Linden Municipal Development Plan is the main planning policy document which provides
for how and where Village growth and development should occur, and other matters including, but not
limited to, agriculture, urban residential, and subdivision. The Village of Linden Land Use Bylaw provides
13 2019.09.10 Adopted Package
4 | P a g e
the regulatory mechanism concerning orderly development and the manner in which to process
development permits within the bounds of the Village of Linden.
The Kneehill County Municipal Development Plan is the main planning policy document which provides for
how and where Kneehill County growth and development should occur, and other matters including, but
not limited to, agricultural, rural residential, and subdivision. Kneehill County Land Use Bylaw provides the
regulatory mechanism concerning orderly development and the manner in which to process development
permits within the bounds of Kneehill County.
For the purposes of this process, the County and the Village agree to respect the following guiding
principles:
Mutual respect and equity.
Cooperation, collaboration, communication and trust.
Coordinated, consistent and timely response.
Respect for the environment and natural capital.
Public engagement and consultation.
Economic growth and development.
The meaning of words or terms used in this Plan shall be determined by reference in the following priority:
noted definitions, the Act, and for words or terms which are not defined in the above sources reference
shall be made to the Oxford English Dictionary.
PLAN AREA
1. Plan Area
This area is illustrated as the Plan Area on Schedule 1 and includes both developed and undeveloped
lands in the County and the Village. The predominant land use with the Plan Area is agriculture.
However, the lands along Highway 806 and Township Road 30-4/Central Avenue could support
additional uses. These are areas where different land uses meet and interact. It is assumed the
interface will occur at, or near, the shared jurisdictional boundary.
The Village and County, as per this Plan, shall strive to engage in effective dialogue when considering land
use in the Plan Area, while still maintaining complete jurisdiction on lands within their own boundaries.
The Village and County may collaborate and investigate methods of giving support to projects that may
mutually benefit or enhance the quality of life for residents from both municipalities. This could be in the
form of in-kind donations, materials, municipal letters of support, application for grants, or other more
permanent arrangements upon mutual agreement.
Both municipalities shall act as good neighbours with respect to Plan Area and agree that a collaborative
approach to planning and coordinated development is necessary within the joint planning area. Both
14 2019.09.10 Adopted Package
5 | P a g e
municipalities shall respect the Plan Area and Boundary as illustrated in Schedule 1. Each will ensure
future land use designations and interface boundaries are compatible and consistent with both
jurisdictions’ goals and aspirations. Development proposals will be evaluated against each municipality’s
respective Municipal Development Plans, as well as statutory and non-statutory plans.
The County will notify the Village of any proposals, applications, studies, or plans for areas as illustrated as
Schedule 1, within the County boundary, and provide informative communication and invitations to
respond. The Village will notify the County of any proposals, applications, studies, or plans for areas as
illustrated in Schedule 1 within their Village boundary and provide informative communication and
invitations to respond.
Where an intermunicipal referral is required by legislation and the policies contained in this Plan, both
municipalities agree to share the mailing address and property ownership information for circulation
purposes with the adjacent municipality, and where applicable, the municipality’s processing agency.
All subdivision and redesignation applications for lands within the Plan Area shall be referred to the other
municipality for comment prior to a decision being rendered.
All discretionary use applications within the
Plan Area shall be referred to the other
municipality for comment prior to a decision
being rendered.
As per Section 636(1)(d) of the Municipal
Government Act, notification to the Village or
County will be circulated when changes to
either Municipal Development Plan are being
proposed. The Village or County will have an
opportunity to provide comments regarding
the proposed changes.
POLICIES
Managing Growth – IDP policies must be flexible enough to permit all reasonable developments in a
contiguous manner. The IDP has a goal to facilitate orderly, efficient and environmentally sound
development compatible with the character and physical setting of the Plan Area while minimizing
conflicts between agricultural and urban land uses.
Future development shall be planned in accordance with the land uses identified in the
corresponding municipality’s planning documents. Land uses within the current Village boundary
shall be guided by the Village’s Municipal Development Plan and Land Use Bylaw. Land uses
within the current County boundary shall be guided by the County’s Municipal Development Plan
and Land Use Bylaw.
Minor amendments to either MDP shall not require an amendment to the IDP.
15 2019.09.10 Adopted Package
6 | P a g e
The Village and County will endeavour to implement cost-sharing and servicing arrangements
supporting an equitable distribution of costs associated with increased growth and development
in the Plan Area (Schedule 1) where feasible.
Both municipalities shall provide a variety of development opportunities within their jurisdiction.
Future development in proximity to Highway 806 shall be planned in consultation with Alberta
Transportation.
Prior to either municipality extending infrastructure or services to development occurring in the
other municipality’s jurisdiction, the Village and County shall enter into an agreement that
outlines how costs associated with the development will be shared. This agreement shall address
the following (but not be limited to):
o Costs for initiating and extending infrastructure and services
o Current and future capacities for the infrastructure and services
o Future maintenance costs associated with the infrastructure and services
Entering into an agreement to provide infrastructure and services shall be at the discretion of the
municipality that will be providing the services and may be determined based on a cost-benefit
analysis.
Plan Area Environment – The natural environment to the south and west of the Village does not respect
municipal boundaries. Water courses, hills, soil conditions and vegetation intermingle across urban and
rural boundaries as well as the Plan boundary.
Both municipalities shall recognize the value of the natural environment and its contribution to
quality of life.
Proposed development in areas that are prone to erosion, landslides, or any other natural
hazards, as well as proposed development in proximity to steep or unstable slopes will be subject
to requirements as identified in the Land Use Bylaws to the satisfaction of the approving
authority.
Applicants of a redesignation, subdivision or development shall be required to obtain confirmation
of the 1:100-year flood level on the affected lands. Applicants may also be required to provide an
environmental review prepared by a qualified professional where an environmentally sensitive
feature is present on the affected lands as identified by the Province of Alberta.
16 2019.09.10 Adopted Package
7 | P a g e
Transportation Systems – The Village and the County recognize the importance of establishing and
creating a continuous network of roads within the plan area in order to efficiently manage future growth.
Subdivision and development proposals located in the Plan Area must address linkages between
the two municipalities to accommodate layout, setbacks, and road uses to ensure orderly and
efficient transition to urban densities.
Either municipality may require an agreement regarding the construction, repair and maintenance
of any municipal boundary area roads which may be impacted by subdivision or development,
when the development requires access to come from a road under the control or management of
the adjacent municipality.
Subdivision and development decisions within the Plan Area will have regard to future road
networks.
Accounting for the location of existing development, topography and other site specific
considerations, there may be circumstances where road alignments will need to be altered in
responding to the needs of subdivision or development.
Economic and Joint Development – Planning future growth may raise opportunities for mutually
beneficial economic development and joint development opportunities, and these may arise in the form
of shared servicing upgrades or community based facilities.
Both municipalities shall work together to ensure a strong, stable and diversified local and
regional economy.
The Village and County shall ensure the IDP provides a suitable inventory of lands for commercial
and industrial development.
The Village and County shall work together to explore areas of mutual interest where agreements
can be considered to ensure that development opportunities will be to the benefit of both
municipalities.
Both municipalities shall work together to maximize the advantages of commercial/industrial
opportunities potentially offered by visibility from Highway 806 and Township Road 30-4/Central
Avenue.
A prerequisite to multi-lot subdivision and development will be the preparation of an Outline Plan
or an Area Structure Plan to the Village and County’s satisfaction to ensure that issues relating to
17 2019.09.10 Adopted Package
8 | P a g e
future land use, servicing transitional treatments and phasing are addressed in a manner that
ensures compatibility with existing or proposed development.
Water and sanitary sewer may be extended from the Village. In some cases, it may be more viable
for water to be extended from the County to service areas of the Village. Development levies or
equivalent contributions may be collected from the benefiting developments so that the cost of
these extensions does not directly impact existing residents of the Village or County.
Best management practices for storm water management shall be required in accordance with
Alberta Environment and Parks regulations.
Buffers or similar mechanisms to mitigate potential conflict between commercial/industrial,
agricultural and other uses shall be used where needed.
Any commercial/industrial development proposed adjacent to a watercourse, wetland,
environmental or hazard lands may require a geotechnical study and environmental review to
confirm the site is suitable for the intended use and describe the potential impacts of the
development and the extent to which these impacts may be mitigated.
Agricultural Uses – Agricultural uses represent the largest land use category of the IDP. The IDP strives
to maintain the importance of agriculture by directing future growth in a compact, contiguous manner
that minimizes intrusions into agriculture operations. This will ensure agricultural operations continue to
operate and remain a significant contributor to the local economy.
Existing agricultural areas shall continue
to be used for agricultural activities as
provided for in the County’s Municipal
Development Plan and Land Use Bylaw,
unless a landowner proposes to convert
agricultural lands to another opportunity
provided for in the IDP, MDP, or Land Use
Bylaw.
When making decisions regarding
development on or adjacent to
agricultural lands, both municipalities
shall give consideration for agricultural
operators to pursue normal activities without interference or restriction based on their impact on
adjacent uses.
Plan Area (Schedule 1) – Agriculture is recognized as the primary land use and no amendments to this
IDP are required for subdivision and accompanying land use bylaw amendments, by either municipality,
that both municipalities agree are consistent with the provisions contained within the IDP, as amended
from time to time. To ensure that future integration into the urban fabric is not compromised, the
following development conditions shall apply, unless otherwise agreed to by the County and Village:
18 2019.09.10 Adopted Package
9 | P a g e
An urban residential development proposal may be accompanied by an application for annexation
to the Village.
A prerequisite to a multi-lot subdivision or development will be the preparation of an Outline Plan
or Area Structure Plan to the Village and County’s satisfaction to ensure that issues relating to
future land use, servicing transitional treatments and phasing are addressed in a manner that
ensures compatibility with existing or proposed development.
Should the proposed multi-lot subdivision or development occupy only a portion of the quarter
section, the Outline Plan or Area Structure Plan shall describe what is proposed for the ultimate
build-out of the lands and how the proposed development will be integrated into the Village if
annexation is considered.
Water and sanitary sewer may be extended from the Village. Development levies or equivalent
contributions and all costs associated with initiating services shall be collected from the benefiting
developments so that the cost of these extensions do not directly impact existing residents of the
Village or County.
Best management practices for storm water management shall be required in accordance with
Alberta Environment and Parks regulations.
Any residential development proposed adjacent to a watercourse, wetland or hazard lands may
require a geotechnical study and an environmental review to confirm the site is suitable for the
intended use. This review should describe the potential impacts of the development and the
extent to which these impacts may be mitigated.
With respect to any proposed development within the Village boundaries that would require legal
access from a County township or range road, such access must be approved by the County prior
to development approval from the Village.
Commercial and Industrial Uses –Promoting a well-planned commercial and industrial development
will support the creation of a strong and diversified economy, expanding the availability of employment
opportunities and contributing to a balanced municipal assessment base.
Both municipalities shall work together to maximize the advantages of commercial and industrial
opportunities potentially offered by visibility from Highways 806 and Township Road 30-4/Central
Avenue.

A prerequisite to multi-lot subdivision and development for these uses will be the preparation of
an Outline Plan or an Area Structure Plan to the Village and County’s satisfaction to ensure that
issues relating to future land use, servicing transitional treatments and phasing are addressed in a
manner that ensures compatibility with existing or proposed development within the Village.
Water and sanitary sewer may be extended from the Village where feasible. Development levies
or equivalent contributions and all costs associated with initiating services shall be collected from
the benefiting developments so that the cost of these extensions do not directly impact existing
residents of the Village or County.
Best management practices for storm water control shall be required in accordance with Alberta
Environment and Parks regulations.
Buffers or similar mechanisms to mitigate potential conflict between commercial or industrial,
agricultural and other uses shall be used where needed.
Any commercial or industrial development proposed adjacent to a watercourse, wetland or
hazard lands may require a geotechnical study and environmental review to confirm the site is
suitable for the intended use and describe the potential impacts of the development and the
extent to which these impacts may be mitigated.
Plan Review
The implementation of this Plan is intended to be an ongoing process to ensure it is maintained
and remains applicable. A committee with joint representation will ensure continued dialogue
and cooperation, as the purpose of this committee is to promote active cooperation and conflict
resolution through a consensus based approach.
For the purposes of administering the monitoring of the IDP, the Village and County will establish
the Intermunicipal Development Plan Committee (the Committee) comprised of an even number
of members of Council from both the Village and the County. Each municipality may appoint an
alternate Committee member in the event a regular member cannot attend a scheduled meeting.
Alternate Committee members shall have standing.
The IDP will be formally reviewed by this Committee once every four years, beginning in 2020, in
order to confirm or recommend amendments of any particular policy contained herein. The
committee will prepare recommendations for consideration by the Municipal Councils.
20 2019.09.10 Adopted Package
11 | P a g e
Members of the Committee shall be appointed by their respective Councils at their Organizational
Meeting. If a Council wished to appoint a new member to the Committee (including the
alternate), they must do so by motion of Council at a regular Council meeting. The municipalities
shall notify one another upon appointing members and alternate members to the Committee.
Functions of the Committee
The Village and County agree that the main functions of the Committee are to:
Create a forum for dialogue on issues of common interest and concern;
Address concerns regarding the policies of the Plan;
Address proposed amendments to the Plan;
Engage in resolving any conflicts or disputes which arise from this Plan – both
municipalities will equally share costs associated with using outside assistance to resolve a
dispute; and
Address any other land use issues deemed appropriate, but which are not explicitly
identified in the Plan.
Meetings of the Committee shall be held on an “as needed basis”, or at the request of
either municipality. Committee meetings should be held as soon as possible if any conflict
arises, or if any matter is brought before it.
The municipality that called the meeting of the Committee shall host and chair the
meeting and is responsible for preparing and
distributing agendas and minutes.
Both Councils agree the Committee is not a decision
making body and that the Committee shall issue a
written response in the form of comments and/or
recommendations to the appropriate decision making
body.
Annexation
The County recognizes and agrees that the Village will need additional land to grow and will
support annexations that will provide for 30-40 years of projected growth within the boundaries
of the Village.
The annexation process may be initiated by the Village in accordance with the requirements of the
Municipal Government Act.
The Village and County will endeavour to reach an Intermunicipal agreement on the annexation
prior to submitting the annexation to the Municipal Government Board.

Dispute Resolution
The policies of this Plan are designed to be general in nature, ensuring that both the Village and the
County maintain jurisdiction over the decisions made within their borders. It is anticipated that by
following the process below, most disputes or conflicts can first be avoided, and where necessary, settled
at the local level. Only in those circumstances where a resolution cannot be achieved locally would the
dispute be referred to outside parties.
It is important to avoid dispute by ensuring the Plan is adhered to as adopted, including full circulation of
any permit or application that may affect the municipality as required in the Plan and prompt
enforcement of the Plan policies.
The Village and County agree that disputes relating to the IDP shall be restricted to the following:
Lack of agreement on proposed amendments to the plan
Lack of agreement on any proposed statutory plan, land use bylaw or amendment to either
located within or affecting the Intermunicipal Development Plan Area
Lack of agreement on an interpretation of this plan
Dispute Resolution Process
The dispute resolution process may only be initiated by the Village or County Councils.
Identification of a dispute and the desire to go through the dispute resolution process may occur
at any time regarding a dispute matter and may only occur within 30 calendar days of a decision
made pursuant to the above noted areas that may be disputed. Once either municipality has
received written notice of a dispute, the dispute resolution process must be started within 15
calendar days of the date the written notice was received, unless both Chief Administrative
Officers agree otherwise.
In the event the dispute resolution process is initiated, the municipality having authority over the
matter shall not give any further approval in any way until the dispute has been resolved or the
mediation process has been concluded.
The process shall be as follows:
o Administrative Review – the Chief Administrative Officers of both municipalities will meet
in an attempt to resolve the issue first. Failing resolution, the dispute will then be referred
to the Intermunicipal Planning Committee.
o Intermunicipal Planning Committee Review – the Committee will convene to consider and
attempt to resolve the dispute. In the event a resolution is not achieved by the 30th day
22 2019.09.10 Adopted Package
13 | P a g e
following the first meeting of the Intermunicipal Planning Committee, either municipality
may refer the dispute to mediation.
o Mediation – the services of an independent mediator will be retained, with the mediator
to present a written recommendation to both Councils. The costs of mediation shall be
shared equally between the Village and County.
o Municipal Government Board – In the event the mediation process does not resolve the
dispute, the initiating municipality may proceed to adopt the bylaw and in accordance
with the Municipal Government Act, the other municipality will have the right to appeal to
the Municipal Government Board.
Amending the Plan
The Plan may be amended as seen fit and mutually agreed upon by both Municipalities. Any
amendments to the Plan must be adopted by both Councils.
Should any disagreements arise with an amendment to the Plan, the dispute resolution process
shall be initiated.
Proposed amendments to this Plan by parties other than the Village or the County shall be
accompanied by the following:
o An application to amend the County IDP Bylaw submitted to the County along with the
applicable fee for processing amendments to a statutory document; and
o An application to amend the Village IDP Bylaw submitted to their designated planning
authority along with the applicable fee for processing amendments to a statutory
document.
Repealing the Plan
In the event that one or both municipalities deem the IDP no longer relevant, the bylaws adopting the IDP
will need to be repealed by both municipalities. However, an IDP is a mandatory requirement under the
MGA. As such, the Plan may only be repealed for the purpose of being replaced by a new IDP at the time
of the repeal.
The Plan shall only be repealed if mutually agreed upon by both municipalities and under the
condition that the Plan will be replaced with a new IDP that will be adopted by both municipalities
at the time of the repeal.
Should only one municipality wish to repeal the Plan, 60 days’ notice will need to be given to the
other municipality stating the intent and reasons for repealing the Plan. Both Councils must pass
the bylaw repealing the Plan and adopting a new IDP for the repeal to take effect.
Should only one municipality wish to repeal the plan, the dispute resolution process shall be
initiated.

Background/
Proposal
In the spring of 2018, amendments to the Municipal Government Act came into
effect including the requirement for all municipalities who share a boundary to work
together to adopt an Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP). The purpose of these
plans is to foster a collaborative planning approach for lands along the common
border between the two municipalities. This will ensure that certain identified areas
are viewed with regional perspective. By implementing a plan that contains both
guidelines for future uses as well as agreed dispute mechanisms, urban and rural
municipalities can reach agreement without negative impacts on either municipality.
From the perspective of both municipalities, enhanced management of the land
within the IDP area identified will prove advantageous for the long-term interests of
the municipalities and their residents.
Discussion/
Options/
Benefits/
Disadvantages:
A proposed draft was created and the administration and the assigned Committee
from both Kneehill County and Red Deer County have met to review and revise the
proposed draft. An open house was held on August 15, 2019 to allow an
opportunity for the public to provide comment. The draft that has been attached is
the outcome of this review.
This draft notes the following objectives:
• It provides a framework for collaboration when developing lands within the
IDP area.
• It promotes open communication between the Counties, the public, and
interested stakeholders.
• It promotes respect for each other’s jurisdictional autonomy and integrity.
• It provides a framework for the provision of services and infrastructure
required for the joint planning area that demonstrates an equitable, efficient
and proactive approach.
• It is a guide to collaboratively plan for lands within the IDP area that will
promote opportunities for residential, commercial, industrial and economic
development while minimizing land use and environmental impacts.
The next step in the process is to provide an opportunity for public comments and
feedback.

KNEEHILL & RED DEER COUNTY IDP 1
1.0 Introduction
In the spring of 2018 changes to the Municipal Government Act came into effect including a
requirement for all municipalities who share a boundary to adopt an Intermunicipal Development
Plan (IDP). As a result, Kneehill County and Red Deer County have agreed, in the spirit of
cooperation and collaboration, to undertake the process of preparing and adopting an IDP as
directed by the Province.
The primary purpose of an IDP is to reduce land use and development conflicts, provide
opportunities for collaboration and communication, and outline processes for the resolution of
issues that may arise within the area of mutual interest adjacent to the shared boundary.
2.0 Intermunicipal Development Plan Goals
The general goals of the IDP are:
(i) to protect agricultural lands from premature, non-agricultural development
whenever possible;
(ii) to minimize potential land use conflicts and encourage understanding;
(iii) to enhance quality of life through the continued diversification of the local
economy and community services;
(iv) to allow for effective coordination of future transportation infrastructure
and road network development;
(v) to protect environmentally significant areas;
(vi) to provide a process for amendments, referrals and the administration of
the plan as well as effective dispute resolution mechanisms; and
(vii) to meet the requirements of Section 631 of the Municipal Government Act
(MGA).
3.0 Legislation
Municipal Government Act (MGA)
Section 631 (2) of the MGA states that an intermunicipal development plan
a. must address:
(i) the future land use within the area,
(ii) the manner of and the proposals for future development in the area,
(iii) the provision of transportation systems for the area, either generally or
specifically,
(iv) the co-ordination of intermunicipal programs relating to the physical,
social and economic development of the area,
(v) environmental matters within the area, either generally or specifically, and
41 2019.09.10 Adopted Package
KNEEHILL & RED DEER COUNTY IDP 2
(vi) any other matter related to the physical, social or economic development
of the area that the councils consider necessary,
b. must include
(i) a procedure to be used to resolve or attempt to resolve any conflict
between the municipalities that have adopted the plan,
(ii) a procedure to be used, by one or more municipalities, to amend or
repeal the plan, and
(iii) provisions relating to the administration of the plan.
Kneehill County Municipal Development Plan
The Kneehill County Municipal Development Plan is the main planning policy document which
provides for how and where Kneehill County growth and development should occur, and other
matters including, but not limited to, agricultural, rural residential, and subdivision.
Kneehill County Land Use Bylaw
Kneehill County Land Use Bylaw provides the regulatory mechanism concerning orderly
development and the manner in which how to process development permits within the bounds
of Kneehill County.
Red Deer County Municipal Development Plan
The Municipal Development Plan is the primary planning policy document for use at the
municipal level. The MDP provides policy directions for municipal matters including, but not
limited to, Red Deer County growth and development.
Red Deer County Land Use Bylaw
Red Deer County Land Use Bylaw provides regulation for development and to some degree
implement the desires of the community manifested in its municipal development plan to
maintain orderly development within Red Deer County.
4.0 Plan Area
The Plan Area is as indicated in Figure 1 and generally includes all lands, which is
approximately 25,866 acres that lies within 800 metres of the entire shared municipal boundary
extending from the Red Deer River to the east and to Mountain View County boundary to the
west.

4.1 Physical Features
Red Deer County is located north of Kneehill County. The shared municipal boundary, spanning
some 55 km running east to west, is by no means a clear straight line shown on Figure 1. Within
this vast landscape several features are described below.
Land Use
The predominant land use within the Plan area is agriculture, either growing crops or raising of
farm animals. Farm residences are also prevalent within the area as well as outbuildings used
and related to farming.
Within Red Deer County is a Direct Control District for a portion of SE 11-35-24-W4M 2.58 ha
(6.37 ac) in size. The use is primarily for outdoor storage of heavy equipment. Within Kneehill
County there is a 1.24 ha (3.06 ac) parcel (Lot 1, Block 1, Plan 0210525) located within NW 32-
34-23-W4M currently zoned Industrial that is currently being used as a highway
maintenance/salt shed storage facility.
Natural Landscape
The Plan area is generally described as Parkland natural region which can be described as
hummocky and rolling. Although heavily modified for agricultural purposes the Plan area does
include pockets of natural aspen forest, riparian areas, named and unnamed water bodies and
watercourses, coulees and badlands, and native grassland areas.
Environmentally Significant Areas
Environmental studies were independently conducted for both Counties that identified their
respective Environmentally Significant Areas (ESAs) (see Figure 2). ESA’s are generally
defined as landscape elements or areas that have important and/or unique environmental
characteristics that are essential for long-term maintenance of biological diversity, soil, water or
other natural processes, both within the ESA and in the regional context.
Kneehill County has identified four ESAs where a portion of these fall within the IDP area
boundary while Red Deer County identified two ESAs. There are two continuous ESAs from
Red Deer County to Kneehill County along the Red Deer River and within its proximity namely
the Tolman Badlands and the Mikwan Goosequill Hummock Lakes (Red Deer County) /
Perbeck (Kneehill County) ESA (see Appendix). These ESAs possess environmental features
which are limited in distribution at a national level or which are the best or only representatives
in Canada.
The Tolman Badlands ESA is also a part of the deepest and most spectacular canyon in the
Aspen Parkland Region of Alberta (Sweetgrass, 1990) a portion of which is included in the
provincially protected Tolman Badlands Heritage Rangeland Natural Area. This area is also
home to some endangered or threatened species as classified in Species at Risk Act (SARA) or
the Committee on Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC).
There are two other ESAs within Kneehill County that are partially within the IDP area boundary
namely Ghostpine Creek ad Three Hills Creek ESAs. Red Deer County did not identify these
two ESAs from Kneehill County to be County ESAs; however, this lack of recognition from Red
Deer County does not diminish its importance to the environment nor the community.

Transportation Network
The transportation network, shown in Figure 3, between the two municipalities is extensive. It
consists of three Provincial Highways, 22 Range Roads, and two Township roads. The Range
Roads connecting the two Counties from north and south extend from Range Road 252 to
Range road 271; while Township Roads 344 and 350 make up the east-west connections.
Highway 21 and Secondary Highway 805 serve as the major north-south transportation links
between the two municipalities. Secondary Highway 587 connects the Counties on an east-west
direction.
Railway
The railway that runs north-south, owned by CN Rail, runs an estimated four to five freight trains
within a 24 hour period depending on CN’s customer demand.
Regulations applicable to the railways are within Federal jurisdiction. It would be prudent to
consult the Railway for any development or any land use plan being contemplated in proximity
to the railway early in the planning process.
Crown Lands
Areas on the eastern boundary include parts of the Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park,
which is a part of the Tolman Badlands Heritage Rangeland. These lands are owned and
operated by the Alberta Government. There is only one known crown land within the Plan area,
located at NE 33-34-21-W4M within the southeastern boundary of the Plan area.
Pursuant to Section 618(2) of the Act, all bylaws and regulations do not apply to a designated
area of Crown land in a municipal district or specialized municipality. Therefore, the policies of
this IDP do not apply to any designated Crown lands.
Oil & Gas Pipelines & Facilities
There are 21 oil and gas facilities and 53 pipelines crossing from one municipality to the other.
These pipelines are dispersed along the entirety of the Plan area. Any development or
subdivision must adhere to the setback regulations for the oil and gas facilities and pipelines
active or abandoned as directed by the Province.
Confined Feeding Operation
There is only one known Confined Feeding Operation (CFO) within the Plan area shown on
Figure 4 located at NE 17-34-26-W4M. The approved development permit for the site granted
by the Natural Resource Conservation Board (NRCB), which is the Approving Authority for
CFOs, is for a pig farm.

Page 1 of 2
Version: 2019-01
Subject: Quarterly Financial Report
Meeting Date: Tuesday, September 10, 2019
Presented By: Will Wolfe, Manager of Financial Services
Link to Strat Plan: Improving Fiscal Sustainability
Recommended
Motion:
That Council receive the April to June 2019 2nd Quarter Financial Report, as
presented.
Background/
Proposal
Council approved the Operating and Capital Project Budget in April 2019. This
report identifies budget to actual variance to help with Council’s role in governance
to ensure stewardship over its entrusted resources.
Discussion/
Options/
Benefits/
Disadvantages:
Notes accompanying the reports:
1. This RFD includes five Financial Quarterly Reports:
• Operating Summary
• Operating by Department
• Projects Summary
• Grants
• Reserves.
2. The reporting cut-off is June 30 which is at 50% of the year.
3. The required year to date transfers are complete and projects are funded.
4. Overall Operating Revenue is at 99.78% and Expenses are at 44.87%. The
2019 Property Tax Revenue is included in this report.
5. Overall Operating Expense year to date variance is on target when
considering the seasonality and timing of some expenses.
6. The following variances are of note:
• Penalty Revenue is over budget by 354k which is largely due to tax
arrears classed as doubtful to collect.
• Other Revenue is over budget by 174k from fees for water access.
• Investment Income is over budget by 163k.
• Total Contract Services Expense is at 40.20% of budget, partially due
to Grader Contracts changing, along with Major Maintenance and
Public Land Mowing not completed as of June 30.
7. “Page 1” in the Project Report shows a net gravel expense of $1,178,468
which accounts for the gravel used.
8. We are anticipating headwinds in our property tax collection and will get a
clearer picture after October 31, our tax due date.

AGENDA ITEM #

Page 1 of 2
Version: 2019-01
Subject: Sunnyslope Gravity Loop Upgrade
Meeting Date: Tuesday, September 10, 2019
Presented By: John McKiernan, Manager of Environmental Services
Link to Strat Plan: Pursuing Focused Growth
Recommended
Motion:
Direct that the condition of a water connection at this subdivision to be
removed as full-flow service is unattainable.
Background/
Proposal
A recent water model application was submitted for review through the subdivision
process as per Policy 14-12. The water model was completed by utility staff and
was then sent to the Engineer firm to run through the model and determine flow,
pressure and effects upon the water system. The water model came back as
unacceptable and the engineer firm would not recommend the connection to the
system.
Discussion/
Options/
Benefits/
Disadvantages:
The water model was submitted as per policy 14-12 which stipulates a subdivision
applicant must apply for a water model study. It should be noted that it was not
submitted by want but, because of the requirement to do so.
The engineer firm determined through the water model software that the connection
was not able to meet a full flow service without negatively affecting existing users
on the system. The negative affect by adding the proposed service is the
drawdown of existing services in the area below the County required 40 psi. The
water model takes into account all service connections whether connected to the
system or not. It should be noted that the system is gravity fed so there is no option
to adjust pumps to create more flow or pressure.
When asked about the potential use of a cistern, the engineer firm was still hesitant
as there would need to be requirements such as restricted flow below the County’s
standard, lower pressure regulation than County’s standard and a timer system that
would only allow the cistern to fill at times of potential low water usage.
The engineer firm did recommend an upgrade to infrastructure within the area that
they believe would make it possible for these connections to be acceptable for full
flow service. The upgrade would consist of adding approximately 1.1 km’s of new
waterline which would create a loop between two existing lines. This loop could
possibly allow for further expansion in the area (but not guaranteed depending on
the location of the proposed future services). The approximated cost of installing the
1.1 km of waterline to create the loop is $30,000.

Highway 585 Road Repair
Project Details
Alberta Transportation will be repairing Highway 585 at
west Red Deer River hill to improve safety. The high-
way has slid knocking over the guardrail and creating a
very rough driving surface.
The work will consist of removing some of the existing
pavement to alleviate some of the roughness. As well,
guardrail will be re-located onto the asphalt shoulder of
the highway to protect vehicles from the steep em-
bankment.
September 19, 2017
Project Information
For up to date road information, call 5-1-1 toll free, visit 511.alberta.ca or follow @511Alberta
What to Expect
Signage notifying road users of the upcoming road clo-
sure will be erected September 20, 2017.
Travelers will experience a complete road closure with
detours in place starting September 25, 2017. Local
traffic will still be able to access Tolman Bridge
Campground from the east.
Motorists can check for updated traffic and construction
information at 511.Alberta.ca or by calling 5-1-1.
Long Term Slide Repair Strategy
The work done this fall will not fix the underlying slide
causing surface problems on Highway 585. Engineer-
ing work will be done this winter to determine the best
approach to stabilize this hill.
Once the scope of the problem is understood, the ap-
propriate repairs will be programmed.
