Mooring for Recreational Docks |
|
Hello all,
Provincial regulations enacted in 2011 require structures occupying public land, such as a lake bed, for more than 14 days obtain approval (a temporary field authorization or TFA). The province has drafted proposed disturbance standards that sets out conditions where their authorization would be provided without application, the last revised version being provided November 2020 here. Council has initiated steps to obtain authorization to control the placement of piers and hoists where we are the waterfront owner and made recommendations for additional changes to the disturbance standards. Councils objectives, perspectives, concerns and recommendations are set out in our Dec 14, 2020 response letter here. Please keep an eye out for new provincial rules, and municipal bylaws that could affect past dock/pier placements. Alberta Environment & Parks may require fewer docks with larger setbacks between mooring structures than have been used in the village historically, and consequently, the Summer Village may require many semi-waterfront lot owners to share docks with backlot owners, particularly where the dock can be accessed without trespassing on private property. We will need to engage further with AEP before we can consent to specific dock placements or finalize a piers & hoists plan. Thank you, Tanner Evans Chief Administrative Officer |
