Horseshoe Resort Corporation, Presentation re: New Official Plan
Kris Menzies of Evergreen Development Consultants Limited and
Graeme Clark of Horseshoe Resort made the presentation for
Horseshoe Resort. Kris Menzies outlined the proposal for Horseshoe
Village with the intent that all Commercial and Recreational uses
• be permitted throughout the "Horseshoe Village" area; which would
allow flexibility in developing the site overall as opposed to
• -2-
piecemeal development. They are also proposing to use the portion
of the property, known as Phase 4B, already draft approved for
single family residential development, as an Adult Lifestyle
Community which will be an integral part of the resort.
Graeme explained their proposal for improving the Horseshoe Valley
Road. This would be done in two ways; 1) by raising the through
roadway above the valley floor so that through traffic would not
have such steep hills to contend with, 2) the local village traffic
would be directed to internal roads which could accommodate golf
carts and pedestrians, etc. The road raising is proposed to be
done with existing fill and rock on the site. They are asking that
this Municipality support County Development Charges with the
revenue from development along the Horseshoe Valley Corridor being
specifically targeted to Horseshoe Valley Road reconstruction.
There was some discussion by the Committee regarding the cost of
the road, the effect to Maplecrest and Pine Ridge traffic,
advantage of an Adult Lifestyle Community in relation to low impact
on school system, traffic, etc., concerns regarding having
Commercial development scattered throughout the Village with no
controls in place.
Moved by Peter Wigham, seconded by Betty Veitch
• It is recommended to Council that the Planning Advisory Committee
approve in principle the concept of the Village of Horseshoe Valley
which would include the Adult Lifestyle Community subject to
formulation of implementation guidelines.
Carried.
Preliminary discussion regarding Agricultural Land Use Mapping for
Official Plan - the Committee will discuss this at the next meeting
when the larger agricultural maps will be available. By that time
the first draft of Official Plan Policies will be ready.
6. OTHER BUSINESS:
Andria Leigh will look into getting copies of a legible Township
map for the Committee members.
