Smith, CAO Loretta Thompson, Executive Assistant Jessica McClelland, Development Officer’s
Assistant Tara Cryderman, Planners with Oldman River Regional Services Commission Gavin
Scott and Lenze Kuiper.
ALSO IN ATTENDANCE:
(see attached list)
Councilor Rod Zielinski chaired the meeting and opened it at 7:15pm and informed the public
that the first part of the meeting would not be dealing with Wind Energy, just the other aspects
of the By-Law.
CAO Loretta Thompson read the written submissions which are attached to and form part of
these minutes.
Ex- Premier Ralph Klein, Board Member for Canadian Hydro, spoke in favor of Wind Energy.
Planner Gavin Scott spoke regarding the By-Law and introduced the major changes since first
reading was given including;
• The abbreviation for Castle Mountain Resort (CMR)
• Housekeeping issues with the By-Law (footer was wrong number)
• Section 53 – WECS
• Hamlet Residential outdoor storage
• Definition of Decks
Jim Barlishen/Lundbreck Burmis Corridor
• rural residential development
• The need to protect the agricultural areas
• The increase in grouped country residential areas already in the MD
• Lack of continuity in the By-Laws (Sections 624 and 385)
• Prohibited use doesn’t necessarily mean prohibited
• RV trailers shouldn’t be allowed in residential areas
• The amount he has invested in his property compared to others
• Revised By-Law should allow for 2 dwellings per parcel
• Lack of enforcement in current By-Laws (MD needs By-Law officer)
Clay Wegener
• Change lot size to 1.2 hectares (2 acres) minimum
• Section 6.112 Recreational Vehicles
Brian Rhodes (CMR)
• Modified for multifamily units (height)
• RP1 & 2 storage compounds/seasonal staff living included

This portion of the meeting concluded at 8:07pm
SECTION 53 WIND ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM
Councilor Rod Zielinski opened this section informing the public that 40% of the MD is Crown
land and only 20% of developable land is available in the MD.
Planner Lenze Kuiper discussed:
• Impacts of the turbines
• ORRSC roll in WECS (ORRSC brings the information to Council, Council makes the final
decision)
• Public should see the present turbines built from the existing permits
• The By-Law would require
o better information be provided from WECS developers
o increase in the referral agencies (addition of STARS)
o Exclusion Zone map
Kevin Van Koughnett (Managing Director for Wind Resources)
• Requested clarification on changes and or deletions for the WECS Section
• Concerns regarding;
o Setbacks of turbines
o MD has the same requirements that the EUB requires
o Developer is required to provide sound levels
o The lack of standards across Canada regarding shadow and flicker effect
o The By-Law is poorly crafted – no diagrams and it is impractical
o He doesn’t understand the purpose
o Definitions need to be defined
o The 4 times the total height requirement is arbitrary and has no scientific validity
Councilor Neil Stewart questioned Mr. Van Koughnett on what he felt should be the setbacks.
Dave Huggil (reprehensive with CANWEA)
• Setbacks issues are not “one size fits all”
• Potential issues regarding landowners rights
Barb McRae (Beaver Mines)
• Expressed her support for Wind Energy as a way to supplement income
Dean Kennedy spoke on behalf of Dylan Zoratti/Cam Issac/Dallas Lou/Rob Hanlan/Betty
Dykstra/Louise Lissard
• Wind Energy allows families to stay in Pincher Creek
• Against the “no go” zone
• Should have same opportunity as other landowners in the MD
• Section 53.8.1 definition of small scale WECS should be amended to change height
regulation and allow the property owner to use power on his land and to sell into the
grid.
• Less government involvement not more government involvement
• Cumulative effect needs better definition and apply to all development
Dean Kennedy for Malcolm Main
• Landowners rights are infringed on
Dennis Olson for Shea Olson
• Windmills add to the scenery of the area
• Threatened class action suit
• Lundbreck area residents are against the “no go” zone (24 Landowners)
• Demand a plebiscite immediately
Quinton Stevic (Division 1)
• Is the greater good more important than landowner rights
• Like the Wind Industry when the dam was built jobs were promised and unfulfilled
• “all things in moderation”
• There are already 250 turbines
• Personal property rights are being infringed on
• Wind Power companies run like the oil and gas industry
• All of division one should be an exclusion zone
Ken Lewis (South of Town)
• Recommended the By-Law be tabled
Allan Kettles (representative for Benign Energy)
• Disappointed in Council
• Businesses not asked for input
• MD should consult with industry
• Amendments say “MD closed for business”
• Changes would result in significant impact on the economy
• No reason to rush the amendments
Stewart McRae (South of Pincher Creek)
• Wind Energy benefits the Town and the businesses
• Landowners are loosing their rights
• Public plebiscite needed
• WECS increases land values
• More need for public input
Sheldon Lewis
• Questioned the MD’s vision for the next 15 years
• Strictly agricultural living is not viable
• Wind Energy has a low impact on land
• Wind Energy is a green source of renewable energy
• Questioned the MD’s intention in putting up roadblocks at every turn
Ilah Husik
• For wind energy as a tax source
• Increases tourism
Sheila
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Pfeffier (West of Pincher Creek)
Cumulative effects need to be defined
Green industry goes hand in hand with agriculture
Questioned why development of turbines is so heavily restricted by Council
Afraid that the East side will become the haves and the West side will be the have not’s
Lack of income will mean MD will lose today’s youth
Pincher Creek is unique for the wind – embrace it
Council has a lack of vision
Council is fear based in their decisions
KC Shenton
• MD has always had a pioneering spirit
• Families are forced to head east
• Loss of control over lands
Kevin
•
•
•
•
Carswell for Ian Lindsell
Aging population
MD needs more renewable resources
Wind Energy creates jobs that the MD needs
The By-Law is irresponsible
Steve O’Brian (with Canadian Hydro Developers)
• Wind Energy benefits citizens in the area
Doug
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
McClelland (Beaver Mines)
Member of MPC
Find the “no go” zone disturbing
Property rights are being taken away from residents
Fear for the future
Fear of loss of already invested money
Questioned Councils direction
Is Council trying to drive Wind Energy out the MD?
Where are the survey/report results?
53.18 setbacks of turbines (4 times the heights means 1 per quarter)
Cumulative effects and the future impacts on the landscape
Councilor Rod Zielinski announced that the MD would make the report available tomorrow
(September 25, 2007)
Harry Welsh (Division 4)
•
•
•
Has been told that the issue with the MD is the landowners fight, not the developer
New By-Law is driving developers out of the MD
The MD should embrace the Wind Energy and help it flourish
John Pfiefer (for an unnamed acreage owner)
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
For the Wind Energy
It’s a clean industry
Adds to the local economy

EXTRA LIGHTING AT DUMPSTER SITE
Discussion:
The video camera installation at the water standpipe/dumpster site is now up
and running. It has become apparent that the cameras are not very useful
during hours of darkness.
I have had an electrical contractor over and look at the site. The estimated
cost to install two Flood Lights controlled by both a photo cell and motion
detector and run the required wiring would be $2,000.00.
It is my opinion that this would enhance the effectiveness of the cameras as
well as improve safety for people using the dumpster site during hours of
darkness.
The funding could be taken from either the Public Works Capital Reserve or
the Road Construction Reserve or left as an over expenditure till year end
and if there is surplus it could be taken from that.
Recommendation:
That Council authorizes Public Works to proceed with the installation of
Flood Lights at the water standpipe/dumpster site, with the costs to be left as
an over expenditure and if necessary taken from Public Works Capital
Reserves.

Planner's Preliminary Comments:
The purpose of this application is to consolidate a 10.28-acre (4.16 hal parcel from a
fragmented quarter section (Lot 4 Block 1 Plan 0710723) of 145.77 acres (58.99 hal to the
adjacent un-subdivided quarter section (SW36-7-2 W5M) of 160 acres (64.71 hal resulting in a
170.2-acre (68.87ha) parcel for agricultural use.
The proposal is to accommodate the consolidation of a fragmented parcel to the adjacent
quarter section to the north. Road Plan 9010434 created the fragmented parcel. Access to the
lot is presently granted off of a developed municipal road allowance. The fragmented parcel
contains seasonal drainage course, which is part of the Crow's Nest River Drainage Basin and
sUbsequently the Oldman River Dam Basin.
The quarter section was added to the Oldman River Reservoir Area Structure Plan during the
recent update. The consolidated parcel is a WECS prohibited and Group Country Residential
discretionary area as defined in the Area Structure Plan.
This proposal complies with the subdivision criteria of the MD of Pincher Creek's Municipal
Development Plan and Land Use Bylaw. The Subdivision Authority is hereby requested to
consider the following when rendering a decision on this application:
1. Any outstanding property taxes shall be paid to the MD of Pincher Creek.
2. The applicant or owner or both enter into a Development Agreement with the MD.
3. Provision of a surveyors sketch to illustrate lot dimensions on site.
4. Consideration of adjacent landowners and referral agencies comments.
5. That any easement(s) as required by utility companies or the municipality shall be
established prior to finalization of the application.
6. That the 10.28-acre (4.16 hal portion (North of Road Plan 9010434) of Certificate of
Title 071 073 628 be consolidated with the adjacent quarter section of the SW36 7-2W5M in a manner such that the resulting Certificate of Title could not be subdivided
without the approval of the Subdivision Authority.
RESERVE:
• Municipal Reserve is not applicable pursuant to Section 663(b) of the MGA, as the resulting
parcel is greater than 40 acres and is to be used for agricultural purposes.
PROCESSING NOTES: No further comment pending a site inspection.
If you wish to make a presentation at the subdivision authority meeting, please notify the
M.D. of Pincher Creek Municipal Administrator as soon as possible.
Submissions received become part of the subdivision file which is available to the applicant
and will be considered by the subdivision authority at a public meeting.

Utility Bill Transfer to Taxes
Background: The Municipal Government Act gives council the authority to transfer unpaid
utility accounts to the tax roll for collection.
Discussion: A letter has been received from the executor for the estate of Lyle G. Larson
advising that it is unlikely there will be funds available to get Mr. Larson's
utility account in Lundbreck up to date. The account is four months in arrears
and amounts to $265.98. As collection of the account is unlikely it would be
prudent to transfer the unpaid balance to the properties tax account (roll
number 413.010). The estate has been advised that the water/sewer service
will be shut off November 1st unless arrangements are made for the estate to
ensure the ongoing utility bill is kept current.
Recommendation: That council authorize the transfer of the L. Larson outstanding utility
bill of$265.98 to his property tax account roll number 413.010.

Re: Your enclosed billing to Lyle Gordon Larson of Lundbreck, Alberta.
Dear Sirs;
I am writing this note to advise you that Lyle Larson passed away in the Pincher Creek
hospital on September 19th 2007. His recently completed will appointed myself and my
other brother Kenneth Larson as executors for his estate and I am writing you in that
capacity.
Lyle Larson's estate in insolvent as his numerous debts both secured and un-secured far
exceed any assets he held. If you wish to submit a claim for any monies owing you can
forward the information to the address noted below for inclusiun in the final statement of
his financial affairs. If you have registered security on any of Lyle's assets you should
probably commence proceedings for taking possession of these items.
I have possession of all of the records and documents relating to Lyle's finances that we
could find in his residence and place of business, but they are completely disorganized
and probably not complete. It is certainly beyond my accounting capability to sort out
and organize his books and there are no funds available to hire accountants to do this
work.
I am sorry to pass this information on to you as it probably means that your business
dealings with Lyle Larson will result in a financial loss.
Yours truly,
Paul Larson,
Executor for the Estate of
Lyle Gordon Larson

BY-LAW 1133-07 – AMENDING THE LAND USE BY-LAW-CONSULTATION
BACKGROUND:
At the September 11, 2007 Council meeting, first reading was given to By-Law 1133-07

COUNCIL RETREAT
BACKGROUND:
With the 2007 municipal election, there will be some new councillors representing the
M.D. Ratepayers. In the past, Council has held a retreat to discuss the future of the
M.D. The format for this process has been either:
•
•
Formal in terms of meetings away from the M.D. Office and having the session
facilitated by a consultant.
Informal in that the Councillors and the CAO meet in the Council Chambers to
discuss individual goals/vision for the municipality.
DISCUSSION:
It has been suggested that Council may want to plan a retreat following the
Organizational meeting scheduled for October 23, 2007. If Council wishes to plan such
a retreat, they need to determine the date, time, location and format of it.
In the past Council has scheduled several meetings for one day so Councillors could
maximize their time when they were in Pincher Creek. With this in mind, the retreat
could be scheduled for the:
•
•
afternoon of November 1, 2007 prior to the Municipal Planning Commission
meeting, or
following the November 13, 2007 regularly scheduled Council meeting.
If Council does not choose to schedule the retreat the same day as another meeting, a
date can be chosen after the organizational meeting October 23, 2007.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council schedule an informal retreat for Thursday November 1, 2007 commencing
at 1:00 PM in the Council Chambers for the purpose of discussing the future of the
Municipal District of Pincher Creek.

Approach Number Signs/ Hamlet House Number Policy
Background: Council requested administration to amend the previous policy submission as
per their discussion.
Discussion: The policy has been amended incorporating the change to the supply and
installation of signs in the hamlets of Beaver Mines and Pincher Station.
Recommendation: That council adopt Policy 203 - Municipal Approach Number
Signs/Hamlet House Numbers.
Prepared By:
Mat Bonertz
Reviewed By:
Submitted To:
Council
October 23 rd, 2007.
Policy 203 - Municipal Approach Number Signsl Hamlet House Numbers
The M.D. of Pincher Creek No.9 has designed, implemented and installed a rural addressing
system throughout the Municipality and a house numbering system for the Hamlets of Beaver
Mines, Lundbreck and Pincher Station. The main purpose of the system is to assist Emergency
Response Personnel in the finding of residences in the Municipality. The Municipality will cover
all costs associated with the initial purchase and installation of the approach number signs
throughout the municipality (the original system as well as new development in the future).
Multi residential subdivisions (5 or more lots) will also have a subdivision sign installed at the
entrance to the subdivision as well as individual lot signs. Once installed the future
maintenance and/or replacement of the signs is the land owners' responsibility. Wherever
possible the signs are to be installed on the left hand side of the approach as you enter the
property as close to the fence line in the municipal right away as possible. Development
permits issued are to advise the land owner of their responsibilities regarding the approach
number signs as well as the M.D.'s commitment to initially supply and install the initial sign.
In the Hamlets of Beaver Mines, Lundbreck and Pincher Station the M.D. will supply, install and
maintain the intersection signs identifying the streets located in each Hamlet. As the Hamlet of
Lundbreck has street lights throughout the Hamlet it will be the land owners' responsibility to
purchase, install and maintain their own individual house number in a visible location from the
street.
REQUEST FOR ADVERTISING - CURLING CLUB
BACKGROUND:
Council, through the Grants to Organizations and Individuals budget line, contributed a
total of $13,500.00 to the Pincher Creek Curling Club (Curling Club) for the purchase of
new rocks - $8,500.00 in 2006 and $5,000.00 in 2007. Lori Bannick representing the
Curling Club, asked verbally, if the M.D. would be interested in putting a sign on the
walls of the Curling Club.
DISCUSSION:
Ms. Bannick advises that the Curling Club is selling space on their walls for advertising
signs. The Curling Club is renting advertising space on the walls to companies wishing
to advertise in this way. The company advertising buys the sign (a 3 foot x4 foot white
sign board sign).
Because of the contribution the M.D. Council has made to the Curling Club, they are
offering to allow the M.D. to place a sign on their walls for five years without having to
pay the rental fee. The M.D. would have to purchase the sign which would cost
approximately $160.00. For the M.D. the sign would not be so much advertising as
showing support for the Curling Club.
If Council wishes to put a sign on the Curling Club wall, the cost could be taken 'from
Account 2-11-590 - Miscellaneous Expenses - Council. In 2007 there was $5,000
budgeted in this line and to date there has been $3,600.00 spent leaving a balance of
$1,400.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council purchase a 3 foot x 4 foot sign to put on the wall of the Curling Club for
the apprOXimate amount of $160.00 with the cost to be taken from Account 2-11-590Miscellaneous Expense - Council.

Subject: Cumulative Environmental Effects Framework
To: Municipal Chief Administrative Officers
Fc
Cumulative Environmental Effects Framework
Managing the pressures of growth in the province is one of the
priorities of the Government of Alberta. To address the pressures on
the environment, the Government of Alberta is developing a new
environmental management regulatory framework.
Consultation is occurring this fall, and engaging municipal
governments is an important step in this consultation. The
Honourable Rob Renner, Minister of Environment, is sending
invitation letters to all municipal elected officials or their designate to
attend one of the following all-day workshops: November 8, 2007 in
Calgary or November 14, 2007 in Edmonton. These sessions will
provide an opportunity for municipalities to discuss the Government of
Alberta’s proposed Cumulative Effects Management Framework and
its impact on municipalities.
While official invitations are forthcoming, this email is intended to
provide you with some advance notice, as there may be some
transition time required following recent municipal elections. More on
the proposed framework is available at www.environment.gov.ab.ca/
cem.
If you have any questions about the consultation process, please
contact Mr. Dave Belyea of Alberta Environment at (780) 422-4492,
or at dave.belyea@gov.ab.ca
Sincerely,
Bill Calder
Director

Provincial Building, 782 Main Street
Box 2138 Pincher Creek, Alberta T0K 1W0
403-627-1165
October 16, 2007 Municipal District of Pincher Creek Council, 2007‐2010 Congratulations to each member of the newly elected Council. On behalf of the Board of Alberta SouthWest Regional Alliance (AlbertaSW), we look forward to working together as we take on our positions in municipal governance. I personally invite this community’s representation to our Board, delegating the role to a Councillor who has the interest in actively representing this community in the region. AlbertaSW Organizational Meeting will be held on Monday, October 29, 2007. Please advise who will be the representative and we will provide further details. RSVP to maureen.webster@gov.ab.ca at the above address. REDA Board representatives are decision makers who provide their expertise and network of resources to guide strategies that benefit all communities within the region. They also offer valued input to Ministers, MLAs and department staff and they help create the vision for their community’s economic future. Regional Economic Development Alliances (REDAs) are gaining higher profile and increased influence in the province. This presents important opportunities for our community. The mandate of a REDA is to assist member communities to identify key economic development initiatives and design projects to create results that individual communities may not be able to accomplish on their own. Economic development work is most often positive and future‐oriented, which makes the projects full of possibility for each member community. Representatives will make a valuable contribution if they … • enjoy the opportunity to think regionally, work collaboratively and create positive outcomes for all • possess good communication skills and enjoy networking and problem‐solving • are willing, active participants who see opportunity where others may see obstacles. I have enclosed a copy of the 2005‐2006 Alliances publication, an annual review which highlights the work of all REDAs in Alberta. Please feel welcome to contact me or Bev Thornton, at 403‐627‐1165 ‐ bev.thornton@gov.ab.ca for more information regarding the • background and purpose of REDAs in the province • expectation, commitment and benefits of Board representation to AlbertaSW. Sincerely, Ted Smith Chair Alberta SouthWest Regional Alliance Cc: Loretta Thompson, CAO/encl.
