IN TORR
Ms. Keiver reported a request had been received from the landowners in Torrington to
purchase land north of them owned by Kneehill County. This request has been made due
to the fact that when they purchased their property earlier, it was sold with the structures on PLAN 5702 FL BLK
the lot being noncompliant as their house deck sits on the property line. They wish to B
purchase enough land so the structures on their lot would be considered compliant and to e7lk
allow for a small back yard, approximately 45 feet. The land they wish to purchase, Plan a, ?y 1 +
5702 FL Block B, contains the Torrington Pump House and reservoir in the northwest
corner of the lot. A site visit had been done on August 13, 2002 and measurements taken,
with Mr. Martens, Environmental Services Manager, was hesitant to allow the purchase of
this much land in case the County would someday build a larger water reservoir. Ms.
Keiver recommended allowing the purchase of 30 feet, to the edge of the pumphouse,
would not cause future problems. The plot plan was displayed on overhead and discussed REF'D CAO
in length.

time constraints, to- postpone the Environmentally Significant Areas Open House scheduled L

Planning Department and Parkland Community Planning Services to discuss the direction
the County would like the Municipal Development Plan to take and what changes they
would like to see made. Council approved the date of October 9, 2002, commencing at
8:30 A.M. to meet. ENCROACHING
ROAD PLAN -
On behalf of Parkland Community Planning, Ms. Keiver presented a request for Council SWALWELL
direction regarding a portion of road built along Road Plan 5730Q in Swalwell that '
encroaches onto several residential lots. Council was advised having a survey done would e C
be the only way to determine exactly how much is encroaching. Parkland Community
Planning provided options for addressing this situation, with the most acceptable being to
negotiate with the landowners for the purchase of the subject area and dedicate the land as
road.
Council requested this matter be referred to administration for further investigation into
both the options and costs involved. PH

A request was received from the Planning department to set a Public Hearing date to sw 26-29-21-w4

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE REPORT
September 5, 2002
•
The Executive Committee of Ken Hoppins, and Murray Woods met on Thursday,
September 5, 2002, at the Kneehill County office, commencing at 8:00 A.M.
Terry Nash, Acting CAO, was also present along with Rob Mayhew, Public Works
Superintendent. The following items were discussed:
1. Public Works Superintendent's Report
Mr. Rob Mayhew, Public Works Superintendent presented his report for the
consideration and recommendation of the Executive Committee.
a. REPORT ON LINDEN WEST-LONEPINE BRIDGE -Article attached.
Bob Cameron of Prairie Grains was concerned that Kneehill County had
contacted the press regarding the obligation to send an application to the Coast
Guard in Sarnia Ontario. This information is advertised publicly, and the staff of
Kneehill County have not spoken with the press regarding this matter.
The completion of environmental studies have delayed the Linden West project to
the point where it will not be proceeded with this year. It will take at least 2-3
weeks to have contracts drafted, and the work will still need to be tendered. Best
case scenario would be mid October or later. Mr. Mayhew will apply to carry the
project over to 2003, with tender documents sent out in winter. Budget allocation
for this project needs to be transferred to reserve, and the preliminary engineering
pp C
costs to date will be set up in accounts receivable at year end.
b. ROAD STUDY - The second proposal will be received by noon September 6, s
2002. If If over budget dollars the two proposals will be brought to Council on Tuesday,
September 10, 2002.
c. WATER - SWALWELL - Refer to # 24 on Executive Report. AO
d. R/W FISHER DAVIS ROAD - Power poles on sideslope are too close to they
shoulder. Mr. Mayhew and Lawrie Ross are negotiating the extension of the right r,,L?
of ways with adjacent owners and Atco.
is
e. After 6 months with Kneehill County, Mr. Mayhew reports his key personnel
are excellent, and is also very impressed with the office staff. Although, he does
find that the reallocation of office duties has not left Yvonne with enough time for
his assignments. Mrs. Nash advised that the reallocation of duties will be
reviewed again at year end.
f. SALT AND SAND - Mr. Mayhew is researching alternatives for obtaining
salt. He suspects there could be problems with sharing of loading equipment, and
his preference of product differs from what Ledcor uses.
