Public Hearing Minutes Dece mber 8, 2015 Page 3 of 5 Ken Knechtel Mr. Knechtel advised that he is with the Alouette Valley Association. He expressed concern with the impact of the proposed development, as well as that of previous developments, on lower level farmland in terms of water flow and drainage. He asked whether this development required filling on the Alouette Valley floodplain and referred to bylaws which pertain to subdivision of land which may impact neighbouring lands negatively. He also expressed concern with the grading of the land and asked whether homes are being placed into the Alouette River floodplain. Mr. Knechtel spoke to the lack of storm water management infrastructure and again expressed concern over the negative impact of this development on the Alouette River Valley. Irene Waller Ms. Waller's main concern is with the impact of the traffic going by her house as a result of numerous subdivisions being developed in the area. She expressed concern that not enough consideration is being to the state of 132 Avenue in that there is no provision of speed signs and no sidewalks. She requested that access in and out of the existing subdivisions be reconsidered. David Laird. Aplin and Martin Mr. Laird provided clarification on concerns raised over filling into flood plain. He gave details on the drainage retention and storm water management system for the proposed subdivision and advised that a 100 year retention system will be built. He referred to a study done on downstream drainage when a previous subdivision was built. Mr. Laird reiterated that the proposed development is not in flood plain and that the developer has gone to an extra extent to control downstream drainage to ensure zero to no impact on lower lands. Ken Knechtel Mr. Knechtel referred to the previous speaker's comments pertaining to a 10 year storm event. He read excerpts from Bylaw No. 4800-1993 regulating subdivision and development servicing and felt that the bylaw indicated that a developer will have to control a 'Noah's Ark' type rain event in order to protect properties such as his own which he considers adjacent to the proposed development. He outlined a history of the concerns he has put forward relevant to storm water management in Silver Valley, felt that the bylaw is being skirted and asked that a rewrite of the bylaw be considered. There being no further comment, the Mayor declared this item dealt with.
