Cranbrook council against Jimsmith Lake subdivision A R N E P E T RYS H E N Townsman Staff
Cranbrook recommended against a regional district proposal to allow an 11-lot residential subdivision in the Jimsmith Lake area. The proposal came forward during the regular meeting agenda at the Aug. 12 council meeting. The Regional District of East Kootenay referred a proposed OCP and zoning amendment to the City of Cranbrook for comment. The proposal would amend the RDEK’s Rockyview OCP and the Cranbrook Rural Zoning Bylaw to allow the area at the south end of Jimsmith
Lake at the end of Lakeview Drive to be subdivided into 11 residential lots and one proposed vacant lot for park use. The lot is a 54 acre (22 hectare) property. Coun. Bob Whetham said the proposal had actually gone before the regional district before but with smaller lots. “It was withdrawn as a result of opposition,” Whetham said. “What they are doing this time is they are coming back with a revised proposal, limiting parcel size to two hectares.”
