Join us at the NexSource Centre – Seniors Centre in Sylvan Lake on November 28th from 4:30 pm – 7:30 pm to provide input on the vision and direction for the Sylvan Lake Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP).
What is an Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP)?
An Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) is a provincially required plan designed to foster cooperation between municipalities on planning and development. The result of an IDP is that future development occurs in an integrated and efficient manner. The provincial government requires that all municipalities with shared boundaries complete an IDP.
The Village of Alix and Lacombe County are currently reviewing the Intermunicipal Development Plan approved in 2011. The plan, at a very broad scale, guides future growth for both municipalities and provides a forum for intermunicipal discussion and collaboration as development occurs in and around the urban fringe of the Village of Alix.
A public hearing has been scheduled for Thursday, June 14th at 9:00 a.m. at the Lacombe County Administration Office.
Please refer to the attached Draft Bylaw and Notice of Public Hearing for further information.

Bylaw No. 1178/13 has recently been reviewed to include current costs of providing servicing as well as including the twinning of a portion of Aspelund Road. The new offsite levy will be increased to $95,000/ha, including the twinning.
As a landowner in the area of the Aspelund Development Node, the offsite levy is only applicable when your land is developed or used for industrial purposes. Please note, the cost of each individual connection to the water and wastewater trunk lines is not included in the offsite levy and remains the responsibility of each individual landowner or developer.
A copy of the full review can be obtained from the Planning and Development Department or can be viewed by clicking on the link below.

Lacombe County has appealed the December 8, 2014 decision of the Town of Sylvan Lake Council to approve the Town of Sylvan Lake’s Municipal Development Plan (MDP). The County has concerns with the MDP not requiring a 30 metre setback from the lake for new developments; furthermore, the MDP fails to include adequate policies concerning the dedication and development of open spaces and does not adequately address access to Sylvan Lake.
