Public hearing - Subdivision Appeal Hearing

A Development Appeal Hearing has been scheduled to listen to an appeal against the decision of the Development Officer. The Development Officer approved Development Permit Application 24/154 for the placement of an 8’ x 20’ storage container. The property is 868 Third Avenue, Dunmore, Alberta; Plan 7810220 Block 1 Lot 1.

The appellant is appealing the placement of the storage container as there are already many buildings and storage facilities on the property and there is extensive hard surfacing on the property. The appellant’s neighbouring property, located at 922 Third Avenue, Dunmore, is lower and gets a lot of runoff from 868 Third Avenue, Dunmore. The appellant is concerned with the increased amount of site coverage that the new container would cause, stating that twice in the past they have had to pump surface water away from their large shop to prevent the flooding of their septic tank.

The property is zoned Hamlet Commercial (HC).

The Development Appeal Board Hearing is scheduled for:

Monday, Sept. 16, 2024, at 10 a.m. at Cypress County Council Chambers, Dunmore Alberta

To ensure that all submissions are included in the Subdivision Appeal Board’s materials, we ask that you email your submissions to patricia.smithdorf@cypress.ab.ca  no later than Sept. 6, 2024, at 12 p.m. If there is a concern with emailing, please telephone me at (403) 526-2888 so we can discuss the concerns.

The package of materials which will be considered by the Board will be available Sept. 9, 2024. If you wish to obtain an electronic copy of the materials in advance of Sept. 16, 2024, please contact Patricia Smithdorf at the above email address.

Any individual who feels they may be affected, are welcome to attend the subdivision and development appeal hearing. In addition, they may make an oral or written submission, either in favour or against the development, to the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board at that time.
