Public Notice – Planning and Development Fee Bylaw

Posted on

PUBLIC NOTICE
RM of Laird No. 404 Public Notice – Planning and Development Fee Bylaw

Public Notice is hereby given that the Council of the Rural Municipality of Laird No. 404 (RM) intends to adopt a Planning and Development Fee Bylaw under section 51 of The Planning and Development Act, 2007.

INTENT: The bylaw would set a schedule of fees that the RM may charge related to the review and processing of development-related matters within the RM. Fees would be applied to the review, advertising, approval, enforcement, regulation, and issuance of: development permits, discretionary uses, minor variances, and amendments to the Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw. Rationale for the fees will accompany the proposed bylaw and fees would be assigned on a cost-recovery basis. The proposed new Fee Bylaw would replace that which has been in place since 2020 and most fees would be increasing.

REASON: The RM wishes to avail itself of the legislated cost-recovery tool such that development review costs are appropriately borne by development proponents, thereby minimizing costs for general ratepayers. Council has determined the current fee structure to be insufficient to address costs and is intending to adjust its fees to this end.

PUBLIC INSPECTION: Any person may inspect the bylaw and rationale document at the RM of Laird No. 404 office during regular office hours, excluding statutory holidays. Draft copies of the proposed bylaw and rationale are available from the RM office; hard copies at cost, and a free digital copy is available at the following web address: https://rmoflaird.ca/category/rm-notices/. The RM office is located at 3025 Central Avenue, Waldheim, SK S0K 4R0.

PUBLIC HEARING: Council will hold a public hearing on September 11, 2025 at 10:00 AM, to hear any person or group that wants to comment on the proposed bylaw. The deadline for receipt of written comments and  requests for representation at the meeting must be received by the RM office by September 10, 2025. For additional information, please contact (306) 945-2133 or administrator@rmoflaird.ca.

Issued at the Town of Waldheim this 15th day of August 2025.

Proposed Road Closure and Sale

PUBLIC NOTICE
RM of Laird No. 404 Public Notice – Proposed Road Closure and Sale

Public Notice is hereby given that the Council of the Rural Municipality of Laird No. 404 (RM) intends to adopt a Road Closure Bylaw under section 13 of The Municipalities Act.

This is a revised public notice regarding the subject proposed Bylaw for road closure and sale. The lands proposed for closure and sale are the same as previously advertised, however, the legal land descriptions of said lands have since been altered in the Land Titles system and notice is re-issued accordingly.

INTENT: The bylaw is intended to provide a notice of intent to permanently close and sell road segments legally described as ORA 13-43-06-W3M Ext. 13, and a portion of ORA 12-43-06-W3M Ext. 12. Said road segments are located at the western end of Twp Rd. 430 near the crest of slope of the N. Sask River
valley.

REASON: The prospective purchaser of the road segments has requested road closure and sale related to its development proposal currently under review by the RM. The desired placement of said development would require road closure to achieve compliance with the regulations of the RM Zoning Bylaw, and it would also correct encroachments of existing development adjacent to the roadway. The subject road segments provide exclusive access to the purchaser’s lands and are used almost exclusively by the prospective purchaser. The developed roadway on the subject land dead-ends at the crest of the slope of the N. Sask River valley. Future extension of said roadway is both impractical and undesirable in the opinion of Council.

PUBLIC INSPECTION: Any person may inspect the bylaw at the RM office during regular business hours, excluding statutory holidays. Draft copies of the proposed bylaw and sale agreement are available from the
Town office (hard copy at cost); digital copy is available here: https://rmoflaird.ca/category/rm-notices/. The Town office is located at The RM office is located at 3025 Central Avenue, Waldheim, SK S0K 4R0.

PUBLIC HEARING: Council will hold a public hearing on June 12, 2025, at 10:00am in the RM office to hear any person or group that feels negatively impacted by the proposed closures. Council will also consider
written comments received by the undersigned by June 11, 2025. For additional information, please contact (306) 945-2133 or administrator@rmoflaird.ca.
