Redwater considering proposal for small lot development Town of Redwater council gave first reading to a bylaw rezoning land on the north side of town for a small lot residential subdivision. A public hearing on the proposed rezoning will be held March 17. During the Feb. 17 council meeting town manager Deb Hamilton advised that developer Don Oborowsky applied to redistrict one hectare (Ha) from urban reserve to single family small lot residential. The parcel, phase two of Golfside Estates, is north of 54 Avenue and west of 46 Street. Hamilton reported that most of the town’s residential lots are a minimum of 5,000 square feet. The small lot district has a minimum size of 3,710 square feet. “These smaller residential lots should Ph: be comparatively lower priced, therefore likely appealing to a younger, working class demographic and contributing to the diversity of our population,” said Hamilton. Council passed first reading without discussion. This parcel is owned by the Town of Redwater and is not yet subdivided out of NE30-57-21W4. In Jan. 2014 the town and Oborowsky entered into an agreement under which Oborowsky has until April 2015 to purchase up to two Ha of this land, rezone it, have a subdivision approved and enter into a development agreement. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the land use framework in the Municipal Development Plan, so consultation with the Capital Region Board is not required. 780-942-2023 Fax: 780-942-2515 Box 850, 4720 - 50 Ave., email: [email protected] Redwater, AB T0A 2W0 • Publications Mail Registration No. 8521 • Canada Post Agreement No. 40051458 Copyright: No material - news, graphics or advertising may be reproduced without the written permission of the publisher.

During 2014 the town had an average water loss of 23 percent. That totalled over 33,000 cubic meters of water which resulted in a loss of $59,000. “Part of the variance might have to do with when the meters are read,” said CAO harvey Prockiw during the Feb. 4 council meeting. Town staff have taken steps to reduce water loss and would like to update their leak detection equipment. “Well, we’ve got to do something,” said coun. Randy Mykitiuk. “If the curling rink doesn’t have a meter, we don’t know how much they use to make the ice,” commented mayor Ernie Brousseau. The town will try out basic and enhanced listening devices for leak detection before making a purchase. Prockiw said the average water loss for communities is around 10 percent.

The average wedding is as expensive as a new car or a down payment on a new house, so it’s no surprise many couples experience sticker shock when they first begin to negotiate with vendors. But as shocking as the cost of saying ‘I do’ in front of family and friends can be, there are some tried-and-true ways to drastically reduce that cost without making the big day any less special. Guests Many couples save the most money by reducing the number of people they invite to their wedding. Couples who come from large families may not be able to cut family members from their guest lists without causing a significant stir, so such men and women can look for other areas to trim. Professional colleagues and old acquaintances who you no longer keep in touch with are unlikely to be offended if they don’t make the cut, and removing them from the guest list can save couples substantial amounts of money. Venue Perhaps no element of wedding planning is more open to negotiation than the venue where the reception The Wedding Guide will take place. Many couples now choose venues that can host both the wedding and the reception, and that can save couples the cost of booking two separate locations and transporting out-of-town guests from one location to another. Location Where a couple decides to tie the knot will have a significant impact on their bottom line. Certain locales, such as large cities, are more expensive than others. Couples who come from small towns may benefit from tying the knot close to home, as vendors tend to charge less the further they are from large metropolises. Timing The timing of a wedding also affects a couple’s bottom line. Couples hoping to get married when wedding season hits its peaks, which is generally considered the months of May and June and then also late-September into October, can expect to pay substantially more than couples willing to get married at other times of the year. Couples also can save money by choosing to get married on Friday or Sunday nights or Saturday afternoon, when many venues charge considerably less per person than they do on Saturday night, which remains the most popular night of the week to get married. The cost of a wedding is considerable, but couples can cut those costs in several ways if they’re YOUR MARRIAGE LICENSE ISSUER To have and to hold today, tomorrow and always!!!

Two buried schools next challenge on TES site Thorhild County council approved spending about $7,000 for a preliminary environmental site assessment of two ‘humps’ in the former Thorhild Elementary School (TES) grounds which are believed to contain the buried rubble of two older former schools. Council passed a motion Feb. 10 by Coun. Larry Sisson to direct administration to go ahead with having JADA Solutions (HSE) Inc. conduct the Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment on both old school sites at Thorhild Elementary School Property at a cost of no more than $7,146, according to draft minutes. The concensus was that savings would result by having the assessment done while the company is currently at the site doing work related to the demolition of the existing Thorhild Elementary School. Administration raised the issue stating that a hump in the school yard is believe to be an old school, which would have had a coal furnace so it is likely that it would contain hazardous material. Administration suggested doing the environmental assessment to determing if the debris can just be excavated. Sisson advised there are actually two mounds in the school yard and each one contains an old school so both need to be done. Coun. Shelly Hanasyk suggested the cost of removing the hazardous waste from the existing school and the potential cost of the two buried schools could run up to $750,000. She noted the existing school could have been renovated to business standards, with the asbestos remaining sealed in the construction and have been a lot cheaper. Reeve Wayne Croswell suggested the cost could go to a million dollars and councillor Dan Buryn stated simply, “government should not be in the real estate business.” He said there should have been a hazardous assessment before the first stroke of paint was put in the building.

Coun. Kevin Grumetza questioned what the plan was for the site now that the school is being demolished and the grounds are being excavated. Croswell responded that it is prime real estate so the County can sell it. Compared to a lot of other property, he felt the school site would fare well for either residential or business.

During its Feb. 19 meeting council approved $3,000 for the Vilna FCSS program to help provide seniors with cleaning services. That will help them to continue living in their own homes. The other grant was $2,500 for programming at the Smoky Lake Playschool. Finance manager Brenda Adamson advised that the playschool did not receive an FCSS grant last year. A third application, from the Vilna School parents advisory committee for funding for the students’ trip to Costa Rica, was not approved for funding. It does not meet the FCSS grant criteria. Adamson reported that the county contributed to this trip in January with a $500 donation from the Grants to Groups and Organizations budget.

Randy Mykitiuk when Ron Maine presented the development proposal to council Feb. 18. “It would be a dream come true,” added coun. Pat Palechuk. Maine said the preliminary concept has commercial-industrial lots, including a truck stop along Hwy 28 with a service road to access them from the east. On the other side of that service road are industrial lots that will be accessed only from that side. Facing 42 Avenue are residential and hotel lots where Maine suggested a 55 plus condominium might fit in well for area residents who want to retire in town. He said a certain number of deposits for the condos will be required to confirm interest in that project. Bordering the east side of the parcel, which follows the curve of the railroad tracks, the land is designated for large residential lots. They will face the service road to the west. On the other side of that road will be a berm and possibly a strip of trees as a buffer from the industrial lots. Maine said Smoky Lake is in the perfect position for commercial businesses and industrial staging areas. It is one day’s drive from Edmonton and has much less expensive overhead and land for companies that need to store completed modules while other equipment is being done. The town is also one day’s drive to Cold Lake, Fort McMurray and Grande Prairie. “Oil and gas staging yards, that’s what we’re expecting will drive the demand for industrial lots,” said Maine. He said that before additional planning is done he hopes to receive input from the town and Alberta Transportation. At this time requirements for deceleration lanes, an intersection or a roundabout are not known. “I think you’re bang-on with having this for modules,” said Palechuk. “Council knows we’re in the center for access.” Mykitiuk said traffic between Edmonton and Cold Lake tripled in the last few years, and all the heavy loads need to go on Hwy 28 to access the bridge over the North Saskatchewan River. Maine estimated that the first phase of the development will be about one third of it. The remainder will be built out over the next five to 20 years, depending on demand. “We’ll do everything in our power to see this comes to fruition,” said CAO Harvey Prockiw.
