Proposed Road Closure and Sale

Posted on

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.

Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw Amendments

Posted on

PUBLIC NOTICE

RM of Laird No. 404 Public Notice – Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw Amendments

Public Notice is hereby given that the Council of the Rural Municipality (RM) of Laird No. 404 intends to adopt two bylaws under The Planning and Development Act, 2007; one amendment to each Bylaw No. 5-2008, known as The Official Community Plan (OCP), and Bylaw No. 6-2008, known as The Zoning Bylaw (ZB).

INTENT: The proposed OCP amendment would introduce new, and clarify existing, agricultural/rural subdivision policies. The proposed ZB amendment would principally add regulation and standards for the creation of small agricultural access parcels located in the Agricultural District (AG), and clarify Council’s intent to deem all sites existing prior enactment of the current ZB as being conforming. A number of existing content items would be  renumbered to allow for insertion of the new content, and would be otherwise unaltered.

AFFECTED LAND: All lands within the Rural policy area, and within the AG Zoning District may be affected by the proposed amendments.

REASON: Agricultural/Rural policies in the OCP are being amendment to better reflect and guide existing ZB regulation for subdivision in these areas. Council is considering new ZB regulation to allow for the creation of small agricultural access parcels which may serve as legal and physical access to lands which have limited access due to topographical or geographic constraints, and where RM development and maintenance of public roadway is undesirable. As a means to legitimize site area of parcels previously and legitimately created through subdivision prior to bylaw enactment, ZB regulation would be amended to account for these sites whereby current regulations relating to min. or max. site size would not apply to pre-existing parcels.

PUBLIC INSPECTION: Any person may inspect the bylaws at the RM of Laird No. 404 office during regular office hours, excluding statutory holidays. Draft copies of the proposed bylaws 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 November 14, 2024 at 10:00 AM, to hear any person or group that wants to comment on the proposed bylaws. The deadline for receipt of written comments and requests for representation at the meeting must be received by the RM office by November 13, 2024. For additional information, please contact (306) 945-2133 or administrator@rmoflaird.ca.

Issued at the Town of Waldheim this 11th day of October 2024.

Pearl Bergen – Acting Administrator - RM of Laird No. 404
