Council approved phase 5B of Langdonís Boulder Creek community, adding another 49 single-family homes to the development.

The house lots range in size from 0.17 to 0.25 acres. Included in the phase is one 3.5-acre municipal reserve parcel.

Upon completion, Boulder Creek, located south of Dead Horse Road and off Centre Street, will have about 462 residential lots and a public golf course.

A piped water connection to Langdon Water Works will supply potable water to the subdivision. Wastewater will be managed through the municipal sewage treatment system. Stormwater will be managed by the onsite ponds built as part of previous phases and incorporated into the golf course.

Rocky View County council tabled a subdivision application for 70 homes in the Langdon Meadows Conceptual Scheme.

The move was made to allow discussions to take place between the applicant, Kevin Jones, and the developer of lands beside the 79-acre parcel within the Hamlet.

If successful, the negotiations will allow a collector road to be built from Dead Horse Road through to the adjacent lands to the north.

The road would create an alternate route that connects southern portions of Langdon to the waste transfer and wastewater facility, which is now accessed via Railway Avenue and through an access easement on a private landownerís property.

ìWe are trying to get the access off of Railway Avenue and onto Dead Horse Road,î said David Wyatt, Rocky Viewís supervisor of development planning. ìWe hope that these discussions will work out.î

County staff will work with the two developers to find a solution.

Council unanimously approved a subdivision application that will divide a 34-acre subdivision from a 156-acre parcel of agricultural land.

The new parcel, located about 14 kilometres northwest of Airdrie, has no services and is accessible from Range Road 22.

Nearby lands are generally large agricultural holdings, many of which contain first-parcel-out subdivisions and farmsteads.

The new acreage has a coulee feature that slopes down to Nier Lakes, a small body of water, on the neighbouring property to the east.

Council unanimously approved a four-acre Bearspaw subdivision that will leave a seven-acre remainder. The land is located about four kilometres east of Cochrane and about half a kilometre north of Highway 1A.The existing parcel has a dwelling that is serviced by a water well and private sewage system. The land also has an existing connection point to Rocky View Water Co-op. The new acreage will get its water from the Co-op and will have a private sewage treatment system.

Access to the lots is currently shared, but a condition of the subdivision will require either the access to be legally secured or a new driveway to be built onto the parent parcel. The new acreage will have its own driveway. Stormwater will be managed in accordance with the Nose Creek Watershed Management Plan.

Council unanimously approved a four-acre first parcel out located about five kilometres east of Airdrie and immediately north of Township Road 270.

The move will divide the undeveloped site, leaving a bare 156-acre remainder.

A paved approach will be built off of Township Road 270 providing access to the acreage, which will be serviced by the existing water well and a new private sewage treatment system.
