This concept has been abandoned. This is a good preliminary rendition of what the Chinook Ridge Castle will look like. It will banquet seat 500 in the main floor hall and have a commercial kitchen. The rooftop is flat and will function as a very large rooftop patio. The turrets are real and a great […]
On November 6, 2012, RVC Council passed Bylaw in a 7/2 vote redesignating the land to Business, Leisure & Recreation (B, L & R) for the purpose of building an 18-hole golf course, a 21 room hotel with a banquet hall for 500, 15 RV Stalls, and 15 campsites (with spa, spike room, etc). Here […]
This is only for those that missed the 2012 Hearing and have questions about how Rocky View County Council made the Decision to create Bylaw C-7188-2012, what opposition was heard and what aspects were considered. It is in 4 parts due to size limitations on uploads.
I am in the process of having the original 2012 Land Re-designation Hearing audio tapes copied to clear uploadable files and will post them here when available. The opening remarks by RVC Planner Rick Michelinko clearly indicate that the application was to construct an 18-hole golf course, a 21 room hotel with a banquet hall […]
Chemical Analysis on well water is NOT conclusive proof that wells are not connected BUT if the analysis on the wells is all the same THEN it is likely they are connected and drawing from the same aquifer. It is a starting point to see if the next step should be taken. The above results […]
To determine the likelihood of connected aquifers I offered to sample, arrange, and pay for chemical tests on neighbor’s well water. This map indicates the locations the offer was made to and whether they responded or not. Most were quite accommodating, some were not but . . . I tried.
Here is a copy of the letter we sent to all neighbors within a 3 km radius asking for their input on our proposed development. Rocky View County received 105 letters in response (24 local) and about 90 from farther away in Rocky View or Mountain View Counties, while a handful were from out of […]
This is a feature article in the Hitching Post News (Water Valley and area paper) published August 2012 that discusses our vision and plans so area residents would have an opportunity for feedback. This was done between our first FAILED redesignation application (in 2010) and our second APPROVED application (in 2012). Redesignation of land in […]
I am posting these as some individuals alleged I was “not getting their permission” or “not asking them“. I can only respond that there were many attempts to deliver letters, post-cards, and have them attend information Open Houses. It is difficult to engage people especially when they don’t want to participate. Samples with dates are […]
The Biophysical Impact Assessment, Traffic Impact Assessment, Environmental Impact Assessment, and the Soils Assessment were all completed by Stantec (as was the original Ground Water evaluation) in November of 2011. These are on the main website under the ‘Technical Reports’ tab. Since then the Ground Water evaluation and the Traffic Impact Assessment were updated in […]
