Rocky View County council unanimously granted approval to an 83-acre subdivision in Langdon, Oct. 4.
The resulting 52 single-family residential lots, located within the Langdon East Conceptual Scheme planning area approved in 2005, will be about 0.25 acres in size.
Residential development is already in place to the east and north of the proposed subdivision. Langdon’s main commercial area is about half an acre to the northeast.
To the west of the proposed subdivision is the hamlet’s boundary.
Stormwater will be managed by a series of ponds, ditches and underground pipes that will connect the community to an existing management facility to the east. The water will eventually drain into Weed Lake, located northeast of the hamlet.
Langdon Waterworks Limited, a private company, will provide potable water for the subdivision. Sewage will be disposed of through gravity flow mains and pumped into a treatment facility outside of Langdon.
A developer-built paved pathway will connect the subdivision to a park system that frames the residential community.
Councillors approved the subdivision with little discussion.
Councillors unanimously approved a bylaw limiting the number of hours County employees can work, Oct. 4.
The new rule matches regulations set out by Alberta Occupational Health and Safety and will see staff working no more than 12 hours per day.
Exceptions may occur in the case of emergencies.
Rocky View County council unanimously approved a boundary adjustment between two neighbours in the Bragg Creek area, Oct. 4.
The adjustment will result in five acres of land, located about 3.2 kilometres west of the hamlet on Breezewood Bay, changing hands to preserve the purchaser’s view and privacy.
The resulting parcels will be 10 and five acres in size.
The subdivision was met with approval from several councillors, including Lois Habberfield, who said the agreement was an ideal way to ensure the purchaser’s view is maintained.
“This is perfect for these two landowners,” she said.
Councillor Rick Butler, who represents the area, agreed saying “Bragg Creekers do know how to get along.”
