Edgefield ASP gets third reading

Times Reporter

 

The Edgefield Area Structure Plan (ASP) received second and third reading on Feb. 1. The development is expected to follow along the Ranch Market style, and developers are proposing a potential of 1,400 units, which would see approximately 3,600 people fill the 325 acres east of town. 

There will be an emphasis on connectivity, said Rose-Mary Damiani with Brown and Associates Planning Group, and there will also be a right of way allowance on the east side of the development to allow for future connections if needed. A section of the 325 acres will be developed for commercial uses, with the rest set to be residential, green spaces and pathways.  

 

Highway committee

Mayor Steve Grajczyk and Councillor Bob Sobol will be the council representatives on the Highway Realignment Committee when the time comes. The purpose of the committee will be to assess future potential issues resulting from the realignment. The Director of Engineering and Operations Jesse Parker, or his designate, will also be on the committee. The committee has no scheduled end date, and the plan is for it to remain in effect until all areas of concern have been presented to council for review approval. 

 

Ammonia detection equipment

Administration was directed to bring the ammonia detection equipment up to standards at the Family Centre. It was not budgeted for in 2011, and the cost is approximately $18,050 plus GST to bring it up to code. Council approved the upgrades and the money will be coming out of the Family Centre Capital Reserves.
