BACKGROUND:
Attached is a letter from the Oldman River Antique Equipment and Threshing Club
asking that Council pave the gravel road from Highway 785 to the accesses of Heritage
Acres, a distance of approximately ½ mile.
DISCUSSION:
I do not believe this road was mentioned in the Infrastructure Inventory Report as a
priority in the five year plan. I am not aware of any safety hazards or any other
particular hazards with this road. If there are any, I anticipate the Superintendent of
Public Works will identify them for Council at the meeting.
Council may want to consider:
•
•
Paving the ½ mile of road as requested, or
Dust controlling this road a couple of weeks prior to the event mentioned.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council refer the request to pave the road from Highway 785 to the access of
Heritage Acres to the Infrastructure Inventory Review process and the 2008 budget
process.

M.D. of Pincher Creek:
Country Residential subdivision of NE1/4 3-7-29-W4M
THAT the Country Residential subdivision of NE1/4 3-7-29-W4M (Certificate of Title No. 031 339 312), to
create a 5.8-acre (2.35 ha) parcel from a fragmented parcel containing 38.22 acres (15.47 ha) for
agricultural use; BE APPROVED subject to the following:
RESERVE:
The 10% reserve requirement, pursuant to Sections 666 and 667 of the Municipal Government Act, be
provided as money in place of land on the 5.8 acres at the market value of $3000 per acre for the first
three acres and $1000 per acre for the remaining 2.8 acres with the actual acreage and amount to be paid
to the municipality be determined at the final stage, for Municipal Reserve Purposes.
CONDITIONS:
1.
That, pursuant to Section 654(1 )(d) of the Municipal Government Act, all outstanding property taxes
shall be paid to the M.D. of Pincher Creek.
2.
That, pursuant to Section 655(1 )(b) of the Municipal Government Act, the applicant or owner or both
enter into a Development Agreement with the M.D. of Pincher Creek which shall be registered
concurrently with the final plan against the title(s) being created.
REASONS:
1.
The Subdivision Authority is satisfied that the proposed subdivision is suitable for the purpose for
which the subdivision is intended pursuant to Section 7 of the Subdivision and Development
Regulation.
2.
The proposed subdivision complies with both the Municipal Development Plan and Land Use Bylaw.
INFORMATIVE:
(a)
That a legal description for the proposed parcel be approved by the Surveys Branch, Land Titles
Office, Calgary.
(b)
M.D. of Pincher Creek, Public Works has no conflict with this subdivision. However it should be
noted that Road Plan 4755BM which is named as the legal access is not developed. Any upgrading
of the road plan would require approval from the M.D. There is a minimal driveway that appears to
be constructed within this RIW from RR29-2 to the new house that is east of the proposed
subdivision and on the south side of the road plan. It appears that the distance from this new house
to the road plan is less than six meters. No services would be provided on road plan 4755BM until it
is upgraded to current M.D. standards.
(c) TELUS advises this application does not affect their operation.
(d) FortisAlberta has no objection.
(e) ATCO Gas has no objections to this proposal.
(f) Alberta Infrastructure & Transportation advises that the proposal is contrary to Section 14 and subject
to the requirements of Section 15(2) of the Subdivision and Development Regulation, being Alberta
Regulation 43/2002 ("the regulation").
The department's primary objective is to allow subdivision and development of adjacent properties in
a manner that will not compromise the integrity and associated safe operational use of the future
expansion of the provincial highway system.
2007-0-364
Page 1 of 5
To that end, the parcel to be created and the remnant land will be well removed from Highway 3 with
indirect access to the highway being gained solely by way of the local road system. As such, strictly
from Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation's point of view we do not anticipate that the creation of
the country residential parcel as proposed would have any appreciable impact on the highways.
Therefore, in this instance the department grants an unconditional variance of said Sections 14 &
15(2).
Notwithstanding the foregoing the applicant would be advised that any development within 300 metres
of the limit of a controlled highway (3) or within 800 metres from the centre point of an intersection of a
controlled highway (3) and a public road would require the benefit of a permit from our department.
This requirement is outlined in the Public Highways Development Act and the corresponding Highway
Development Control Regulation, being Alberta Regulation 242/90. The applicant could contact the
department through John Thomas at Lethbridge 403/381-5426, in this regard.
The department accepts no responsibility for the noise impact of highway traffic upon any
development or occupants thereof. Noise impact and the need for attenuation should be thoroughly
assessed. The applicant is advised that provisions for noise attenuation are the sole responsibility of
the developer and should be incorporated as required into the subdivision/development design.
Any peripheral lighting (yard lights/area lighting) that may be considered a distraction to the motoring
public or deemed to create a traffic ~azard will not be permitted.
Further, should the approval authority receive any appeals in regard to this application, we would not
have any objections to the appeals being heard by the local Subdivision and Development Appeal
Board rather than by the Municipal Government Board.
(g) CPR provided the following information:
Residential Development Adiacent to the CPR
General:
The CPR opposes all residential development adjacent to our right-of-way, as it is not compatible with
railway operations as there is the possibility that the safety, health, and welfare of residents could be
adversely affected by railway activities.
Notwithstanding our opposition stated above, should a proposed residential subdivision application
adjacent to railway right of way receive approval, Canadian Pacific Railway Co. requests that
consideration be given to the following recommendations:
Safety:
To safeguard against issues arising out of possible train derailments, it is recommended that:
a)
No dwellings should be built within 75 metres of the CPR property line.
b) Should a 75 metre separation from the CPR property line not be achievable, dwellings must be no
closer than 30 metres, and berm is to be erected on adjoining property, parallel to the railway
right-of-way with construction according to the following specifications:
i)
ii)
Berm minimum height to be 2.5 metres and side slopes not steeper than 2.5 to 1.
No part of berm is to be constructed on railway property.
While no dwelling may be within 30 metres, an unoccupied building, such as a garage, may be built
closer.
Because of the nature of a residential subdivision, there is a high possibility of trespass on railway
property, and the CPR has concerns with respect to pedestrian trespass and the safety issues
associated with same. As such, should no solid noise attenuation fence be required as per item a)
under the heading Health and Welfare following, it is recommended that a 1.83 metre high chain link
fence be constructed and maintained along the common property line of the Railway and the
development by the developer at his expense. The developer is to also include a covenant running
2007-0-364
Page 2 of 5
with the lands, in all deeds, obliging the purchasers of the land to maintain the fence in a satisfactory
condition at their expense.
Health and Welfare:
The CPR property is used for train operations, which result in the transmission of noise, vibration and
other related industrial nuisances to adjacent properties. As such it is recommended that:
a)
Dwellings be constructed such that the interior noise levels meet the criteria of the appropriate
ministry. A noise study should be carried out by a processional noise consultant to determine
what impact, if any, railway noise would have on residents of proposed subdivisions and to
recommend mitigation measures if required. The recommendations of the study are to be
implemented. Should the study recommend a sound attenuation fence, the fence, must be
constructed without openings and of a durable material weighing not less than 20 kg per square
metre (4 lb./sq. ft.) of surface area.
b) Ground vibration transmission should be estimated through site tests. If in excess of the
acceptable levels, all dwellings within 75 metres of the nearest track should be protected. The
measures employed may be:
1.
Support the building on rubber pads between the foundation and the occupied structure
so that the maximum vertical natural frequency of the structure on the pads is 12 Hz;
2.
Insulate the building from the vibration originating at the railway tracks by an intervening
discontinuity or by installing adequate insulation outside the building, protected from
compaction that would reduce its effectiveness so that vibration in the building became
unacceptable; or
3.
Other adequate measures that will retain their effectiveness over time.
Buyer Awareness:
A clause should be inserted in all offers to purchase, agreements of sale and purchase or lease, and
in the title deed or lease of each dwelling, informing prospective purchasers or tenants of the
existence of the Railway's operating right-of-way; the possibility of alterations, inclUding the possibility
that the Railway may expand its operations, which expansion may affect the living environment of the
residents notwithstanding the inclusion of noise and vibration attenuating measures in the design of
the subdivision and individual units; and that the Railway will not be responsible for complaints or
claims arising from use of its facilities and/or operations.
An additional clause should be inserted in all offers to purchase, agreements of sale and purchase or
lease, and in the title deed or lease for each dwelling affected by any noise and vibration attenuation
measures, advising that any berm, fencing, or vibration isolation features implemented are not to be
tampered with or altered, and further that the owner shall have the sole responsibility for maintaining
these features.
In addition to the preceding recommendations, the following conditions, where applicable must be met
in all instances:
Existing Drainage Patterns:
Any proposed alterations to the existing drainage pattern affecting railway property including but not
limited to acceleration of surface runoff must receive prior concurrence from the Railway, and be
substantiated by a drainage report.
Services:
Any proposed utilities under, over or along railway property to serve the development must be
designed in accordance with the appropriate CSA standards, Railway Association of Canada
Standards and American Railway Engineering Association Standards as may be applicable. All plans
for utility occupancies of railway property must be approved by the Railway prior to construction and
installation.
2007-0-364
Page 3 of 5
Access Across
Raiilw;:lv
O"'lI"nlMloll'll"U'
Any access roads across the railway will be subject to Railway approval, and must be in compliance
with the latest Transport Canada regulations concerning same. If the crossing is approved, the owner
will be required to execute a license agreement with respect to the terms and conditions of the
crossing.
(h) Adjacent landowners Martyn Hill & Allison Brock have the following concerns & comments:
1) While we do not oppose the actual sub-division of our neighbour's property, the impact on the
proposed access is of great concern to us.
2) According to the materials enclosed in the application itself, it is apparent that access to the
proposed 5.8 acre parcel would be via roadway plan 4755BM.
This road, though evidently not decommissioned, has been out of service for what would appear
to be a substantial amount of time judging by the amount of grass & Shrubbery that has taken
over the road to the west of our residence.
3)
For the purposes of this letter, from hereon in I will refer to "our driveway" to distinguish the
current access from Range Road 29-2 that leads up as far as our residence.
Said driveway currently ends at the west side of our residence, providing single-family access to
our garage. This driveway mayor may not be part of the old road. It is hard to tell from the
Google Earth attachments, but it appears in places as if it may run parallel to, & just south of the
old road & not in fact directly along it. This placement would obviously be crucial to any work &
cost involved, as it may extend any "re-activation" of the old road to the east as far as Range
Road 29-2.
4) We took possession of the two parcels of land & the residence in August & September 2006, &
thus have been "Grandfathered" in to the positioning of the residence in regards to it's proximity to
the old road & of the driveway.
5)
Depending upon exactly where the outside boundaries of the old road lie, it could pass within 20
feet or closer to our front porch. This would certainly have a hugely detrimental effect upon our
lifestyle.
•
We often sit out on the front porch for recreation, so privacy becomes an issue.
•
Our bedroom & the spare bedroom below it look directly over the old road, & there would
certainly be issues with traffic noise that may occur depending on the size & demographic
of family that would inhabit the property under consideration;
We realize that families come & go, so we have to look at the big picture & the long term
possibilities of road usage; from teenagers & their friends in cards & trucks, to smaller school age
children commuting to school via noisy school buses that would be passing within close proximity
to our residence. The thought of an active road passing so close by is quite disturbing &
distressing to us.
6) As mentioned, the portion of the road that continues westwards from our driveway is heavily
overgrown with grass & shrubbery, and it is also has a well-established fence running across the
road at the property division between our property and the Duggans.
7) Construction traffic alone would cause severe problems with dust, dirt & noise, as well as the
upheaval & possible detriment to our property during any road improvements needed as outlined
below.
8) There would apparently be a huge cost involved in bringing the current road up to even the very
minimum standards required by the M.D. of Pincher Creek, judging by the document 317A
MINIMUM STANDARD ROAD DESING SPECIFICATION - available from the M.D. of Pincher
Creek office.
2007-0-364
Page 4 of 5
9) According to the document 317 New road design specifications - available from the NM>D> of
Pincher Creek office - requiring a wider road to accommodate 2-way traffic, there would be an
even greater cost, along with a huge impact to us & also to our environment & property with the
equipment needed to construct such a road.
10) Our water line from the well to the house passes beneath the current driveway, & any new
development directly over the water feed has the possibility to cause water contamination &
supply problems to the residence.
I have attached two aerial pictures from Google Earth to try to put above comments in perspective
for you.
•
Google earth road1 shows the view from east to west along the driveway.
•
Google earth road2 is the view from the house north towards highway 3 & shows the
route of the water supply.
We appreciate any feedback or questions that you may have regarding any of the above
concerns. Please notify us once the M.D. of Pincher Creek authority meeting has been confirmed
that will consider this subdivision approval as we do indeed wish to attend & make a presentation.

ALLIED ARTS COUNCIL OF PINCHER CREEK
D3b
BACKGROUND:
Attached is a letter from Myrna Elliott, Director, Allied Arts Council of Pincher Creek,
asking if the M.D. of Pincher Creek is interested in purchasing a painting of the Lebel
Mansion by Rob Miller. The asking price is $800.00.
DISCUSSION:
The Lebel Mansion is owned by the Town of Pincher Creek. The M.D. has contributed
to Allied Arts Council of Pincher Creek, Managers of the Label Mansion, in support of the
programs they offer. Over the last several years, the M.D. Council has not contributed
to the operation and maintenance of the building or to capital costs.
Council has not budgeted for the purchase of art work.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council receive and file the letter from the Allied Arts Council of Pincher Creek with
regards to the purchase of the painting of the Lebel Mansion.

Recently our board was approached by artist Rob Miller, who has created a painting of the Lebel Mansion. He asked whether the Arts Council would wish to buy it. While we are aware of the significance of the Lebel Mansion building and are most appreciative of being able to call it our “home”, the Arts Council has neither a mandate nor a budget to purchase works of art, and we do not have a permanent collection (with the exception of a few donated items). The suggestion was made that the MD may wish to purchase the painting and display it publicly in your offices. The artist is asking $800.00. The painting may be seen at the Arts Council office and gift shop in the Lebel. We would really appreciate your informing our administrator, Tim Wilson, of your decision. Sincerely, Myrna Elliott, Director, Allied Arts Council of Pincher Creek

Policy 203 - Municipal Approach Number Signsl Hamlet House Numbers
The M.D. of Pincher Creek No.9 has designed, implemented and installed a rural addressing
system throughout the Municipality and a house numbering system for the Hamlets of Beaver
Mines, Lundbreck and Pincher Station. The main purpose of the system is to assist Emergency
Response Personnel in the finding of residences in the Municipality. The Municipality will cover
all costs associated with the initial purchase and installation of the approach number signs
throughout the municipality (the original system as well as new development in the future).
Multi residential subdivisions (5 or more lots) will also have a subdivision sign installed at the
entrance to the subdivision as well as individual lot signs. Once installed the future
maintenance and/or replacement of the signs is the land owners' responsibility. Wherever
possible the signs are to be installed on the left hand side of the approach as you enter the
property as close to the fence line in the municipal right away as possible. Development
permits issued are to advise the land owner of their responsibilities regarding the approach
number signs.
In the Hamlets of Beaver Mines, Lundbreck and Pincher Station the M.D. will supply, install and
maintain the intersection signs identifying the streets located in each Hamlet. It is the land
owners' responsibility to purchase, install and maintain their individual house number in a
visible location from the street.

Dear Council Members:
Re: Pathway in Beaver Mines
We were asked as a pathway committee to call all of the community
members affected by the pathway. The community members on the highway
were phoned and asked if '~hey would like to see the pathway in front or
behind their homes. The majority stated that they would like the pathway
adjacent to the highway and therefore in front of their properties. This
meant that we needed to contact someone to complete the survey.
Eric Tapp was approached and he suggested that we contact John Thomas
from Alberta Transportation in Lethbridge for a consultation prior to
attempting the survey. The issue being that the pathway must be 9 metres
off the white line on the highway and in some areas this might be difficult.
However, I was informed through another contact that as long as 70CYo of
the pathway is 9 metres from the highway we should be able to get it
approved. There are also power lines and gas lines that run under that area
that need to be considered.
I have phoned John Thomas on four different occasions and faxed him the
map of where we would hope to see the pathway go. After faxing him twice
and phoning 4 times, I have not had a response. We are anxiously awaiting
word from Mr. Thomas and would like to hold a meeting with Eric Tapp, Mr.
Thomas, Mr. Zielinski, committee members and members of Beaver Mines
that would like to help with the project. If this is not possible, Jolaine Kelly
and I have taken photos of the entire pathway and I could meet with Mr.
Thomas in Lethbridge to share these photos.
We are also interested in constructing the pathway on M.D. property located
on the Green Strip. However, the primary focus is to have community
members reach the General Store, Tennis Courts, Gazebo and Park without
walking directly on the highway. Therefore, if the pathway cannot be put in
front of the houses to the west and the east of the Green Strip we would
like to further explore the possibility of constructing the pathway on the
M.D. property behind people's homes that was allotted for a pathway a
number of years ago.
The M.D. has promised us roughly $20 000.00 and according to Rod and that
amount will not cover the entire project. We are working on getting an
estimated amount per metre from communities that have pathway systems.
Rod also stated that community members would need to do the work in order
to make this possible. After conferring with Highway employees and other
communities that have been through this process, we need to be assured
that the entire cost of the project will be funded as well as professional
engineers and workers will be able to help.
I see this project happening in three stages, with the Green Strip being the
final stage. Possibly over three years if all of the funding can not be given
this year.
I am forwarding a copy of this letter to John Thomas at Alberta
Transportation, to pathway committee members, to the Beaver Mines
Women's Club (The BMW Club), to the community association, and also to
David Coutts. He has sent us a letter stating that he supports our efforts
to make Beaver Mines a safer community.
We are having a community meeting on October 3rd at 7:00 pm and would like
one of your council members to be present at that meeting.
Thank you for your cooperation.
