A public hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Monday, April 8, covering a proposed St. Mary Riverside development called Cabin in the Woods at Shadow Mountain.

City of Cranbrook council last week passed two readings of an Official Community Plan (OCP) and rezoning application to facilitate a proposed development of 12 river front residential parcels and one open space parcel on the east side of the Shadow Mountain development.

“Specifically, the application is proposing to the amend the St. Mary Neighbourhood Plan and zoning bylaw to reflect changes for the proposed development of the parcel on the eastern side of the plan area (east of Highway 95A). Per the proposal, the plan is to develop 12 single family riverfront parcels with one lot to be retained as open space for community use that would contain a ‘no build’ covenant to restrict future development of the lot except for washrooms, a picnic shelter and other community amenities,” outlined a city Engineering and Development Services Department report.

The lands would be accessed from internal private road system at Shadow Mountain and municipal water and sewer will service the development, the report added.

The lands will also be subject to the OCP’s Environmentally Sensitive, Steep slopes and Wildfire Development Permits as the original permits for the development did not address subdivision of this parcel at that time, the report pointed out

The city’s floodplain bylaw is also applicable to the property and it is anticipated that the applicant will provide confirmation that the recommendations in the hydrotechnical report meet or exceed the bylaw requirements.

The city received the application from Haworth Development Consultants Ltd. on behalf of the property owners, Cabins in the Woods & Target Appointments.
