4.Delegations
9:05 a.m. J. McEntee brought forward a number of Cypress Planning District projects. M. and L. Bowley propose to subdivide their 11.82 acre yard site from their 80 acre parcel on pt. SE 29-11-15. This is a rectangular shaped piece, being 208 m x230 m. The yard site is relatively new (about ten years) and the fence line will be adjusted to reflect the shape. They intend to keep the residual property (68.18 acres of bush).Council gave approval to the creation of the 11.82 acre lot.
9:15 a.m. Jeff and Carrie Baron attended council to gage approval for their plans for a dog boarding service in their home less than a mile off the Trans Canada Highway, west of Carberry.In comparison to a kennel, they plan to house these animals in their home for short periods of time while the owners are away. Because they already have four dogs, they will limit the number of animals to ten. They also stated that as they will be breeding their own Mastiff dogs in the future, they will limit the number of boarding dogs to keep the number manageable on their 2.8 acre property. A conditional use order will be required, as well as a variation to allow a dog kennel on less than three acres. Council advised them to proceed.
9:30 a.m. Mr. Rick Pemkowski attended as the contact person for NCL on the matters of water drainage for Manitoba Sustainable Development. There must be documentation for every project, but he pointed out that a great number of projects can be listed on one $25.00 form. He stressed the importance of having written permission when a drainage project may affect someone downstream. He needs to be aware of any projects, just in case a problem arises, so that it can be addressed. If the drainage project is using WWCD infrastructure, then it goes through the watershed as well as Pemkowski’s department. He indicated his willingness to attend any project and to have a turnaround time for project approval, of about ten days.
10:00 a.m. “Just because your assessment goes up, it doesn’t mean your taxes will go up.” Blaine Fallis and Anita Goertzen of the Assessment Branch issued these words to council as reassurance to the general public. They attended to review the 2018 Assessment. The municipality has seen a $37 million increase in property values since the last assessment two years ago. This has been driven by a 13.7% increase in the value of farmland. The way it works, is if the value of your property goes up more than the average increase, then you will see an increase. Council’s Board of Revision will take place on October 10. The last day to file an appeal for the 2018 assessment is September 25. Please keep in mind; you cannot appeal the amount of your taxes, only the valuation of your property.
