END OF REPORT
ALC STAFF COMMENTSStaff suggests that the Commission consider the following: 1) The CLI soil capability ratings of (4MP) suggest that the land has reasonably good agricultural capability. Nearby parcels (to the north) are improved for forage/hay production. 2) The Commission when it permitted gravel extraction required, as a condition of approval the stripping and storage of topsoil and the land's reclamation to a similar or better agricultural standard (requiring the submission ofa $30,000.00 bond). It was anticipated that the future use of the property was to be agricultural. 3) Subdivision into 1 ha lots would eliminate the land's agricultural potential, increase potential for conflict between residents and farmers, and raise expectations that subdivision of similar or larger parcels in the ALR might be permitted. Heightened expectations can result in speculation and reduced farm activity. 2) There may be merit in viewing the property to ascertain agricultural potential after reclamation and potential negative impacts of subdivision.
