Council for the RM of La Broquerie Voted to deny a subdivision on Boreland Road South of Sarto Road.

Reeve Lewis Weiss says the proposed subdivision was actually a reapplication for a subdivision that had already been approved by council.

"Originally we had approved a subdivision off of their turning it into two lots, now it was changed a bit turning it into three lots and it sounded like there was a bit of fear around council that this would be turning this into a multi-residential area and because of the poor drainage and the bad roads at certain times of the year, that was a concern."

The original proposal was to subdivide a 15-acre section from a 160-acre piece of property but the owner decided to get the 160-acre property divided into two 80-acre pieces and then reapply for the 15-acre section which would make three separate pieces of land rather than two.

Weiss says the area in question has very poor drainage and though council may look into water retention in the future, it is not currently suitable for many homes.
