Planning & Zoning

At their March 7, 2007 meeting, Municipal Council  approved the implementation of the following service agreement fees:

• Municipal infrastructure – $10,000 per parcel
• Fire protection – $1,000 per parcel
• Recreation – $500 per parcel

In addition to these fees, the provincial Subdivision Regulation requires that land be put aside for public use on any subdivision which is not the first on a quarter section. As the R.M. of Blucher does not intend to maintain park spaces all over the municipality, we require that cash-in-lieu of dedicated lands be paid. The amount of cash-in-lieu varies from subdivision to subdivision but is generally 10% of the value of subdivided, un-serviced land. This is usually in an amount of $2,500 to $8,000 per parcel. The R.M. of Blucher can not waive this fee as it is a requirement of provincial legislation.
