Motion by Pam Blackburn to write a letter to YTG Land Development Branch, requesting that the Land Use Planner send out copies of applications in a more timely fashion. In many cases the LAC has found out about applications through residents or public notices and have had to request copies of applications from Lands Branch. Applications such as those for subdivision must be replied to before a 90-day deadline has passed. Second by Patrick Rouble. Vote: 5 in favour. Motion # 3 Carried. After discussion of the Application for Subdivision of Lot 1044 in South M'Clintock, the Council decided to pass the following points on to LARC. 1). In general, the LAC cannot support any applications until after the Marsh Lake Land Use Plan has been completed. Future development and any issues over the need for lakefront property can be dealt with by the LUP. 2). There is strong opposition of this subdivision application by neighbours. 3). The applicant received a lot extension approximately 5 years ago, and is now applying to subdivide the extended lot. This application goes against the current trend throughout Marsh Lake of extending lot sizes to allow for cottage lots to be turned into country residential lots. 4). There is an issue of where the high water levels really are, and how development will affect wildfowl in the area. This should be dealt with before any further development takes place in South M'Clintock. Motion # 4. Motion by Pam Blackburn to reply to LARC stating the above points. Second by Patrick Rouble. Vote: 5 in favour. Motion # 4 Carried. 4. Report From the Chair/ Correspondence.
