Council tables bylaw changes to next meeting
Residents of Creekside Acres in Melfort, and the developer of the neighborhood are going to have to wait a bit more to learnt he outcome of some new proposed bylaw changes.
On Monday, March 11, at Melfort’s regular council meeting, two bylaw changes were presented. The first was to sell dedicated lands connected to some vacant lots in the Creekside Acres neighborhood, making the lot bigger. The second change was to then re-zone those sections of municipal reserve to class it as residential one. That would allow the developer to subdivide the lots, while still keeping the sizes a bit bigger.
However, residents in the area are against the subdivision of that land, due to the fact that they were promised “acreage living” when they first bought the properties, and having a subdivision would change that. Some residents even noted that it could devalue their property.
