PURPOSE OF THE MDP
The Municipal Development Plan (MDP) is a statutory plan created for the Summer Village with several intents. The MDP
provides the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows with a planning framework that will reflect current land uses and guide
future development. The creation of this plan will assist administration, the Council, residents and private developers in
making decisions regarding future economic, social and environmental development that work towards the Summer
Village's defined vision and goals.
Specifically, the MDP is developed to:
set the Summer Village's principles, vision, and goals;
indicate further steps that the Summer Village can take to fulfill its vision and goals; and
ensure that the Summer Village can develop in a manner that is economical and beneficial.
With regard to Section 632(1) of the Municipal Government Act, R.S.A. 2000, c. M-26, as amended, provides that a
municipality must, by bylaw, adopt a Municipal Development Plan (MDP). The MDP contains policies respecting:
the future land use within the municipality;
the manner of and the proposals for future development in the municipality;
the coordination of land use, future growth patterns and other infrastructure with adjacent municipalities;
the provision of required municipal services, facilities, and transportation systems;
the provision of municipal school reserves and municipal reserves;
subdivision and development processes, consistent with the Subdivision and Development Regulation, AR 43/2002;
and
environmental matters within the municipality. The MDP may also address additional matters that focus on
physical, social, and economic development. 1.2
PLAN PRINCIPLES
The Summer Village of Pelican Narrows MDP is rooted in the following six principles. These principles are fundamental to
the creation and utilization of this document. The planning principles are derived from the Summer Village's planning
obligations outlined in the Municipal Government Act as well as the Provincial Land Use Policies.
Land use & development will respect and maintain the local heritage of the community. PRINCIPLE 1
In fulfilling planning responsibilities, the Summer Village will assess impacts on regional partners, residents, the
environment, and the economic viability of the municipality. PRINCIPLE 2
Planning decisions ensure the efficient use of land, infrastructure, public services & public facilities. PRINCIPLE 3
The Summer Village will conduct planning activities in a fair, open, consistent, and equitable manner. PRINCIPLE4

RELATIONSHIP WITH PLANS AND LEGISLATIONMUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTACT
The MDP is a statutory plan adopted by bylaw in accordance with Section 632 of the MGA. The MDP contains policies
respecting:
future land use within the municipality;
the manner of and the proposals for future development in the municipality;
the coordination of land use, future growth patterns and other infrastructure with adjacent municipalities;
the provision of required transportation systems;
the provision of municipal services and facilities;
the provision of municipal school reserves and municipal reserves;
subdivision and development processes, consistent with the Subdivision and Development Regulation, AR 43/2002;
environmental matters within the municipality; and
the protection of agricultural operations.
This MDP satisfies the requirements for MDPs established in the MGA. ALBERTA LAND STEWARDSHIP ACT
The Alberta Land Stewardship Act, S.A. 2009, c. 26.8, as amended (ALSA) establishes regional planning in Alberta. ALSA
outlines the requirements of regional plans and the process for implementing regional plans. ALBERTA LAND USE FRAMEW
The Alberta Land Use Framework (ALUF) sets out an approach for managing public and private lands and natural resources
to achieve Alberta's long-term economic, environmental, and social goals. The ALUF establishes the Alberta government's
model for regional plans and identifies three desired outcomes:
A healthy economy supported by our land and natural resources;
Healthy ecosystems and environment;
People-friendly communities with ample recreational and cultural opportunities.
The MDP has been developed in a manner that adheres to the intended purpose of the regional plans, as identified in the
Alberta Land Use Framework. LOWERATHABASCAREGIONAL PLAN
The ALUF establishes seven planning regions in Alberta based on watersheds. The Summer Village of Pelican Narrows is
located entirely within the Lower Athabasca Regional Plan area.
The Lower Athabasca Regional Plan (LARP) was approved in 2012. The LARP will use a cumulative effects management
approach to identify strategic directions for the region over the next 10 years. The LARP will be assessed and (if necessary)
updated every five years to maintain relevance and commitment to regulatory intent.
Pursuant to section 13 of ALSA, regional plans are legislative instruments. Pursuant to section 15(1) of ALSA, the regulatory
details of the LARP are enforceable as law and bind the Crown, decision makers, local governments and all other persons
while the remaining portions are statements of policy to inform and are not intended to have binding legal effect.
PART 1
The MDP is consistent with the strategies and outcomes of the UARP. INTERMUNICIPAL COLLABORATION FRAMEWOR
All municipalities in Alberta are required to adopt an Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework (ICF) with each municipality
they share a common border with. The purpose of an ICF is to:
1. provide for the integrated and strategic planning, delivery, and funding of intermunicipal services;
2. to steward scarce resources efficiently in providing local services; and
3. ensure municipalities contribute funding to services that benefit their residents. INTERMUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT
An Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) is a statutory plan prepared by two (or more) municipalities that share a common
border. An IDP ensures future development concepts and land use policies for areas of mutual interested are coordinated
between the two municipalities, and helps to reduce the possibility of any future land use conflicts between the
municipalities by establishing processes for communication, referral, and dispute resolution.
The MDP must be consistent with all approved IDPs. AREA STRUCTURE PLANS/AREA REDEVELOPMENT PLANS
Area Structure Plans (ASP) and Area Redevelopment Plans (ARP) are statutory plans adopted by a municipality. They provide
a policy framework for future subdivision and development for a particular area at a local level. They provide land use,
access, and servicing policy direction for specific neighbourhoods or areas of a municipality. An ASP or an ARP must be
consistent with an approved IDP and MDP.
Currently, there are no approved ASPs or ARPs in the Summer Village. PLAN HEIRACHY
The chart on the following page illustrates how the MDP relates to provincial acts and regulations, intermunicipal
collaboration efforts, statutory plans, and planning processes.

PART 2P
HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY
The Summer Village of Pelican Narrows was
established as a municipality in 1979, of
lands formally within the Municipal District
of
Bonnyville.
The
municipality's
boundaries expanded in 1999 to include
lands immediately south of the Summer
Village. Today, the Summer Village consists
of 72 hectares of land. The name 'Pelican
Narrows' is derives from the narrow
portion of the lake adhacent to the
Summer Village, which connects the Main
Lake Basin with Vezeau Bay to the
northeast.
Moose Lake is one of the most popular and
scenic lakes in the Lakeland Region of
Alberta. Its sandy beaches and good fishing
draw hundreds of people to its excellent
parks during summer.
The lake's name is a translation of the
French name, Lac d'Orignal. Although moose are rarely found in the area now, the former abundance of the animal no
doubt inspired the name. In 1789, Angus Shaw of the North West Company built a trading post, Fort Lac d'Orignal (Shaw
House), on the northwest shore of Moose Lake (Geog. Bd. Can. 1928). The first settlers, French Canadians from Beaumont,
Alberta, began to homestead in the Bonnyville area in 1907 and 1908, and large numbers of settlers began to arrive after
1912 (Alta. Mun. Aff. 1978; Glendon Hist. Soc. 1985). In 1928, the railroad was extended from St. Paul to Bonnyville, thus
ensuring the continued growth and settlement of the area. In the early 1900s, commercial fishing was an important area
industry, and by 1936, three large fish-packing plants were in operation. Several mink farms were located around Moose
Lake, but they are no longer present.
Much of the lake's shoreline is extensively developed, particularly along the east shores of Vezeau Bay and Bonnyville Beach
Bay. The first subdivision of land was at Bonnyville Beach in 1945, and rapid development occurred after 1960 (Runge 1977).
At present, two summer villages are located on the east shore. The summer village of Bonnyville Beach was incorporated
in 1958, and the summer village of Pelican Narrows was incorporated in 1979. There were a total of about 130 dwellings in
the 2 summer villages in 1988, of which 37% were permanent residences. A number of subdivisions are also situated along
the shore. They comprise a total of 794 lots, but not all of these are developed. There are five institutional camps located
on Franchere Bay and the west shore of Island Bay and the Bonnyville Golf and Country Club is situated south of Vezeau
Bay beside Chatwin Lake.
There are five public campgrounds and day-use areas around the lake, including Moose Lake Provincial Park on the north
shore. The provincial park was opened in 1967; its facilities include 59 campsites, tap water, beaches, a change house, a
boat launch and hiking trails. Franchere Bay Provincial Recreation Area on the west end of Franchere Bay is operated by
Alberta Recreation and Parks. Its facilities include 200 campsites, a beach, picnic shelters, tap water and a boat launch.
Alberta Recreation and Parks also operate Eastbourne Provincial Recreation Area on the south side of the lake. This facility
has 13 campsites, pump water, a picnic shelter and a boat launch. Pelican Point Park, situated on the southeast corner of
Franchere Bay, is operated by the Municipal District of Bonnyville. It has 40 campsites, picnic tables, pump water and a FIGURE
PART 2
launch for small boats. The Vezeau Beach Recreation Area on the southeast corner of Vezeau Bay was transferred to the
Municipal District in 1988. It is small and has an undefined area for camping, a picnic shelter, a boat launch and a pier (Alta.
Hotel Assoc. 1989).
Moose Lake receives intense recreational use during summer, particularly on weekends. In 1983, cottagers accounted for
47 to 67% of the total recreational use (Marshall Macklin Monaghan West. Ltd. (1983). The most popular recreational
activities are swimming, fishing, camping and boat.
Located on the eastern shores of Moose Lake, the Summer Village is adjacent to the Municipal District of Bonnyville on it's
eastern, northern, and southern boundaries. West of the Summer Village, across Moose Lake is Moose Lake Provincial Park.
Also sharing the shoreline of Moose Lake is the Summer Village of Bonnyville Beach, located approximately 4 kilometres
south of Pelican Narrows.
Primary access to the Summer Village is via Highway 28 - approximately 4 kilometres east of the Summer Village. From
Highway 28, direct access to the Summer Village can be made via Township Road 611A (Which becomes Lake Ave. in Pelican
Narrows) or Township Road 610/Moose Drive, which intersects with Lake Avenue.
Highway 28 provides regional connections to major communities in the region, including the Town of Bonnyville, the City
of Cold Lake, the Town of St. Paul, the Town of Smoky Lake, and the City of Edmonton.
Land use within the Summer Village is predominately
residential. Homes within the Summer Village have been
developed for both seasonal and year-round use. Non-
residential developments in the Summer Village include
the
Pelican
Narrows
Community
Hall
(and
playground/sports courts), and undeveloped properties
which are utilized for agricultural and recreational
purposes.
Commercial uses in the Summer Village consist of home-
based businesses that generate little-to-no client traffic
and are located within a primary residence or accessory
building.

PART 22
POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHICS
POPULATION
Pelican Narrows is the largest Summer Village on Moose Lake, and in the northeast Alberta region by population. In 2016,
the Federal Census reported Pelican Narrows to have a population of 151. From 2011 to 2016, the Summer Village's
population decreased by 6.8%.
The average (41.8) and median (45.5) age of Pelican Narrows' residents are greater than the provincial equivalents (37.8
and 36.7 respectively). Most households (55%) consist of 2 persons.
Policies within the MDP ensure that future development patterns will support the needs of current and anticipated area
residents today and well into the future. Ensuring neighbourhood design features which support aging residents (healthy
lifestyle choices, multi-modal transportation options, proximity of local services) are also an important focus of this plan.

PART 32
ENVIRONMENTAL FEATURESSHORELINE
The Summer Village is located along the shoreline of Moose
Lake; no major inlets to the lake area located within the Summer
Village. Most lands within the Summer Village are within a
provincially recognized Environmentally Significant Area, which
addresses lands within portions of the Moose Lake watershed
(and the Beaver River basin).
The State of the Watershed Environmental Inventory Report for
Moose Lake indicates that the majority of the lake's shoreline
within the Summer Village is considered 'Highly Impaired.' An
impaired shoreline can significantly reduce the capacity of the
land to respond to runoff events. However, the majority of the
lake's shoreline is considered 'Healthy' - as a whole, the lake's
shoreline should be able to respond to water runoff events and
water level fluctuations.
WETLANDS
Several wetland areas have been noted by the Province of Alberta adjacent to (and within) the Summer Village of Pelican
Narrows. The methodology used to delineate these potential wetlands is not perfectly accurate; the precise location of
local wetlands will be determined by a qualified professional at the time of subdivision and/or development at the request
of the province and/or municipality. HISTORIC RESOURCES
The southern portion of the Summer Village is within an
area noted as a potential historic resource. This area has a
Historic Resource Value of HRV5, indicating that the area is
believed to contain a historic resource (HRV5 is the lowest
of the five values assigned by Alberta Culture and Tourism.
This area is noted for it's potential to contain archeological
resources.

2. The Summer Village of Pelican Narrows will promote the efficient use of resources, so that the cost
of providing effective services at reasonable levels can be minimized, while ensuring the needs of
residents, business, and other stakeholders are met today and in the future.
PART 4
Future growth and development is designed to mitigate environmental risk and conserve significant environmental
features. 4.1
PLANNING AREAS
The boundaries of the future land use areas, as illustrated on MAP 2 - FUTURE LAND USE, are intended to be conceptual
and are subject to refinement at the subdivision stage of development.
The land use areas described in this plan are general indications of future forms of development. They do not correspond
directly to existing land use districts set out in the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows Land Use Bylaw. At the redistricting
or development permit stage, other more specific land uses that are generally consistent with the policies of this plan may
be approved. Similarly, redistricting applications to Land Use Bylaw districts that are generally consistent with the land use
areas shown in this plan may be approved.
1. Where the boundary of a land use area does not follow a property line, road or significant natural feature, or where
there is uncertainty regarding the location of the boundary, the specific boundary location may be determined at
the time of subdivision or development, through legal survey and/or supporting documents. The final Municipal
Development Plan boundaries will be determined on consideration of such surveys, plans, or supporting studies by
Summer Village Council or the appropriate Approval Authority.
2. An amendment to revise MAP 2 - FUTURE LAND USE of this plan is not required if the proposed land use represents
a similar and complimentary development that may provide a beneficial service to the residents and visitors of the
Summer Village.
As development proceeds in the Summer Village, land requirements for parks, community facilities, transportation
infrastructure, or other municipal service uses may be identified either through the development of outline plans or at the
subdivision stage.
This plan assumes that as development proceeds, the responsible agencies will acquire land through private purchase or
the dedication of municipal reserve to accommodate these land uses.
Lands within the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows identified on MAP 2 - FUTURE
LAND USE as RESIDENTIAL are areas where residential development will be the
predominant future land use. RESIDENTIAL
Lands within the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows identified on MAP 2 - FUTURE
LAND USE as COMMUNITY are areas that will remain in their natural state to facilitate
low-impact recreational/social uses and support the ecological health of Moose Lake. COMMU
PART 4
DEVELOPMENT CAPACITY
Ensuring ecosystem health and supporting water quality conservation and restoration within the Summer Village are
primary considerations of the MDP. New development that will negatively impact the viability of the Moose Lake ecosystem
and overall health of the lake will not be allowed. Maintaining the recreational capacity of the lake and the quality of life for
residents and visitors is also a primary consideration of this MDP.
Some of the negative impacts on water bodies in environments similar to Moose Lake are caused by damaged riparian areas
and littoral areas due to development adjacent to the shore of the lake.
Additional causes of nutrient and phosphorous loading, which contribute to blue green algae blooms, include sanitary
effluent and stormwater runoff entering the lake. Uncontrolled runoff can travel across 'polluted' surfaces, carrying
undesirable materials and compounds into the lake (e.g. sediment, fertilizers, pesticides, and petrochemicals). Effluent
contaminants, including sediment and phosphorous from these sources may reach the water body directly or through
percolation into the groundwater.
Modern construction and landscape design methods, when properly applied, are capable of preventing or mitigating the
opportunity for increased sediment and phosphorous from reaching a water body except in extraordinary circumstances
(e.g. in the event of a greater than a 1-in-100 year flood). If such flows associated with new development can be slowed or
directed away from the lake, then the most significant source of water quality contamination may be reduced.
Development capacity may also be impacted by the location of steep slopes, significant recharge areas, and aquifers within
the Moose Lake Watershed. Additional information will be required to provide a clearer picture of which areas within the
Summer Village provide the greatest conservation and restoration value.
Future development capacity within the Summer Village should be limited to those land uses and those locations which can
be demonstrated through site location and/or site design to have minimal impact on the health and viability of Moose Lake
and where there are not presently significant environmental hazards that would make the site unsuitable for new or
redevelopment. OBJECTIVE 1
Ensure that future land use activities in the Summer Village do not exceed the land or lake's capacity for
development. POLICIES
1. Development proposals that seek to significantly increase the overall residential or recreational
density of the Summer Village will require an amendment to this MDP.
2. A multi-lot subdivision application that increases the overall density of the Summer Village shall be
accompanied by the following:
a. A hydrogeological assessment which indicates how impacts on the aquifer, riparian areas,
recharge areas and contributing areas will be mitigated.
b. A plan for minimizing the clearing of vegetation on each of the proposed lots to ensure that
50% of each lot will remain in vegetative cover.
c. A plan for the implementation of low impact development design standards for new
stormwater management infrastructure.
d. A construction management plan.
e. A restrictive covenant will identify requirements based on best practices for managing
clean run off must be incorporated into the lot grading and drainage plans effecting the
overall development.
PART 4
f.
If the development area includes wetland or riparian areas, a wetland inventory and
riparian area assessment will also be required. 4.3
DEVELOPMENT PHASING AND SEQUENCE
The Summer Village of Pelican Narrows recognizes that most new developments in the Summer Village will occur as
individual proponents choose to make applications. However, this MDP seeks to establish a logical pattern and sequence
of development in the Summer Village. This would avoid ad hoc development that is typically based on a particular land
owner's preferred development timing, which may not contribute to an overall cost and environmentally efficient growth
pattern. Clustering development in specific areas is proposed for several reasons:
To avoid ad hoc development and promote orderly, staged growth;
To minimize the cost of road upgrades and maintenance for the Summer Village and developers;
To minimize environmental impacts by locating new developments close to each other allowing environmental
impacts to be managed effectively.
To minimize the costs of municipal services (e.g. emergency services, etc.).
For proposed multi-phased developments in the Summer Village, applications must include information about the proposed
phasing of new lots. For proposed multi-phased developments, the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows will monitor the
performance during each phase of new development. Staged or phased developments that do not comply with approved
plans (including nutrient management plans and drainage plans) will not be allowed to proceed with further stages until
compliance issues have been rectified to the satisfaction of the Summer Village. OBJECTIVE 2
Ensure that future development in the Summer Village occurs in a safe, orderly and efficient manner. POLICIES
1. When considering subsequent phases of multi-lot developments, Summer Village Council/the
Approving Authority shall have regard for:
a. Lake water quality evaluation as recommended by Alberta Environment;
b. Survey of residents/visitors to determine their experiences with the prior stages of the
development;
c. Review of emergency service availability;
d. Public meeting to hear resident/visitor input;
e. Consultation with relevant government agencies; and
f.
Any other studies or assessments that Summer Village Council and the Approval Authority
deems necessary.
2. Should Summer Village Council/the Approving Authority deem that additional development may
jeopardize the Lake's water quality and natural ecosystems or seriously impact the quality of life of
existing residents, or decide that other factors would recommend against further development,
they may do one or all of the following:
a. Impose additional controls over further development;
b. Restrict further development; and/or
c. Refuse to permit any further development.
PART 4
d. The Summer Village of Pelican Narrows will seek to implement FireSmart Canada
recommendations into the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows Land Use Bylaw. 4.4
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT
The following policies apply to all land use and development activities within the Summer Village. These policies are
intended to ensure that the development (and redevelopment) of lands within the Summer Village will not negatively
impact the local landscape, lake water quality, important aquifers, important ecosystems or habitat areas, and enjoyment
of the Summer Village by local residents. OBJECTIVE 3
Establish requirements for all development activities in the Summer Village to ensure that important natural
features and ecological systems are protected. POLICIES
1. Commercial development within the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows (except for home-based
businesses that do not generate high volumes of vehicle traffic) shall be prohibited. Proposals for
commercial development within the Summer Village (including recreation-focused businesses)
shall require an amendment to this plan prior to consideration by the Development Authority.
2. The Summer Village of Pelican Narrows shall require that landowners and development proponents
wishing to undertake any stripping, grading and significant brushing activities apply for a
development permit. Significant brushing activities means the clearing of vegetation on a lot that
could adversely impact offsite drainage, result in flooding on adjacent properties, impact slope
stability, and/or negatively impact water quality.
No stripping or grading activities (where the proposed grades will not adversely affect the drainage
of the subject or adjacent lots) shall occur unless a develop permit is issued by the Summer Village
of Pelican Narrows Development Authority.
3. As part of a development permit application for stripping and grading activities that are required
as per the Summer Village's Land Use Bylaw, the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows shall require
the applicant to produce a Construction Management Plan. This Plan should address:
a. The management of construction vehicles and materials;
b. The retention of native vegetation;
c. The stockpiling and retention of top soils removed during construction;
d. Dust, noise, and light control measures;
e. The control of mud and earthen materials on nearby roads and trails;
f.
The control of stormwater runoffs and drainage channels;
g. The control of onsite sediments and treatment of runoff flows;
h. Any other matter requested by the Development Authority.
4. The Summer Village of Pelican Narrows shall require landowners and development proponents to
manage post-development activities on lots to prevent the degradation of lake water and ground
water quality by:
a. Retaining native vegetation that does not require irrigation;
b. Controlling the proliferation of invasive species;
c. Applying low-impact development strategies;
d. Encouraging the installation of rain gardens and absorbent landscaping materials; and
PART 4
e. Prohibiting the use of fertilizers and pesticide use on private lots and reserve parcels except
for the control of noxious weeds.
5. Permeable and/or semi-permeable surfaces should be maintained on residential and reserve lots
to support onsite water filtration, and decrease surface runoff.
6. Applications for development and/or subdivision within the Summer Village on sites which may be
affected by a wetland must include a wetland assessment which has the effect of delineating and
classifying the wetlands within the building pocket on the site. The disturbance of wetlands shall
be minimized and if possible completely avoided.
7. All reasonable efforts must be made to preserve wetlands within the Summer Village. If a wetland
is proposed to be disturbed then the proponent must satisfy all requirements of Alberta
Environment and Parks.
8. At the time of subdivision, the boundary of wetlands will be determined by a qualified professional
adhering to the Province's Wetland Policy.
9. All applications for subdivision and/or development on lands identified as containing historic
resources must provide a Historic Resources Impact Assessment (HRIA) and letter of clearance from
AB Culture and Tourism. Where a HRIA has been waived by the department, a letter of clearance
indicating that the HRIA is not required must be provided.
10. All applications for subdivision and/or development on lands identified as containing
environmentally significant areas may be required to provide additional information (as requested
by the Approving Authority) to demonstrate the suitability of the site for the intended use.
4.5
AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
Pelican Narrows is a small municipality, with an area of less than 35 hectares. The predominant land use in the Summer
Village is residential development. Undeveloped lands within the Summer Village are intended to facilitate low-impact
recreational activities and support the ecological health of Moose Lake. Large scale agricultural activities and natural
resource development would be incompatible with the Summer Village's current (and planned) built form. OBJECTIVE 4
Ensure that land-intensive agricultural and natural resource developments occur in appropriate locations. POLICIES
1. The only extensive agricultural uses that shall be allowed are the extensive agricultural uses that
exist as of the date of approval of this Municipal Development Plan.
2. Local small scale agricultural activities such as gardens and non-commercial greenhouses shall be
encouraged.
3. The keeping of animals shall be in accordance with the regulations of the Summer Village of Pelican
Narrows Land Use Bylaw.
4. No logging shall be permitted within the Summer Village.
5. No aggregate resource extraction developments will be allowed within the Summer Village.
6. The development of oil and gas infrastructure (e.g. wellsites, pipelines) shall be discouraged within
the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows. In the event that oil and gas infrastructure is proposed to
be developed within the Summer Village, the Development Authority shall work with the
proponents to ensure that the proposed infrastructure does not unnecessarily fragment important
natural features.
PART 5P
A watershed refers to the area of land that drains into a body of water (in this instance, Moose Lake). Activities that occur
in the watershed influence the quantity and quality of water that enters the lake and the overall health of the lake
ecosystem. For example, runoff from agricultural land often is a source of nutrients and bacteria. Lake waters may also be
polluted by nutrients and bacteria leaching from septic systems into shallow aquifers. Runoff from urban and agricultural
areas can contribute significant quantities of nutrients, bacteria, pesticides, metals, oils and other contaminants to lakes.
To maintain the health of a lake, it is important to manage non-point source pollution originating from the lake's watershed.
As a whole, water quality is considered to be one of the most important long term factors influencing the quality of the
ground and surface water within the Moose Lake watershed. Given that the long term health and sustainability of the lake
and its water quality is one of the top priorities of this MDP, the strategies and policies outlined in this section provide for
the protection of the water quality and watershed of Moose Lake in the short-term, and well into the future.
All lands within the Summer Village drain into Moose Lake, although the direction and method varies. The Summer Village
recognizes that, as stewards of Moose Lake, residents and visitors have a responsibility to ensure that land use and
development activities on land do not negatively impact the Lake's water quality. GOAL
New developments and municipal programs protect and enhance Moose Lake and the community's other unique ecological
features. 5.1
RIPARIAN AREAS, RESERVES, AND EASEMENTS
The Summer Village contains water courses and streams. In addition to the six metre setback from waterbodies mandated
in the Municipal Government Act, it is common for municipalities to require a further setback from lakes, rivers, and streams
to protect against pollution and provide additional public access opportunities.
The riparian setbacks for wetlands (as defined under the Wetlands of Canada, Environment Canada, 1981) within or
adjacent to development sites will be determined on a site specific basis but will not be less than 15 m. The primary purpose
of the 15 metre setback is to protect water quality by capturing sediment and chemicals before they reach the lake. The
effectiveness of the strip is greatly enhanced by the presence of vegetation and a grass strip to help capture phosphorous.
A 15 m setback will also be applied to permanent streams flowing into the lake to protect from erosion and contamination;
public access may be located along the environmental reserve corridors.
Significant riparian areas exist in the Summer Village. These riparian areas help to improve the quality of water draining
into Moose Lake, and provide important habitat for local wildlife and plan species. OBJECTIVE 1
Protect important riparian areas through the use of reserves, easements, and setbacks. POLICIES
1. As part of subdivision approval, an environmental reserve shall be required along the shoreline of
Moose Lake, and a 15 m environmental reserve will be required from the 1 and 100 year flood line
of all wetlands and permanent streams.
2. Environmental Reserves may be increased due to steep slopes, erosion, shallow ground water, or
particularly sensitive contamination concerns at the discretion of the Subdivision Authority.
PART 5
3. Development setbacks may be increased due to steep slopes, erosion, shallow ground water, or
particularly sensitive surface water contamination concerns at the discretion of the Development
Authority.
4. The Summer Village of Pelican Narrows may require subdivision and/or development proponents
to provide groundwater studies and/or a hydrological assessment designed to identify areas with
shallow groundwater susceptible to contamination.
5. Individual landowners and/or development proponents with lands adjacent to the shoreline of
Moose Lake shall not be permitted to create an artificial beach or plant grass or non-native plant
species within an environmental reserve setback. 5.2
NATURAL VEGETATION AND PROPERTY INITIATIVES
Natural vegetation, particularly riparian vegetation and terrestrial vegetation (e.g. forest cover) near Moose Lake is
important for maintaining water quality. Shoreline vegetation and forest cover act as buffers, filtering nutrients and
sediments before they enter the lake. Shoreline vegetation also stabilizes shorelines, reducing the effects of erosion and
sedimentation resulting from wave action or ice thrust.
In addition to helping maintain water quality through filtering runoff, natural terrestrial vegetation also plays an important
role in providing habitat for wildlife, including both birds and mammals. Larger and connected forest blocks provide year-
round cover and forage for larger ranging mammals such as deer and coyotes, as well as forest interior species of birds, and
species sensitive to human related disturbance.
Natural vegetation in the Summer Village provides important habitat for local wildlife species, and contributes to the overall
ecological health of Moose Lake. OBJECTIVE 2
Protect natural vegetation in the Summer Village in order to maintain healthy water quality. POLICIES
The preservation of forest cover policies below reflect the values of water quality protection and also the
protection of terrestrial vegetation and wildlife:
1. The Summer Village of Pelican Narrows shall encourage individual landowners and/or development
proponents to preserve important forest cover surrounding Moose Lake when planning new
developments, to the greatest extent possible.
2. As part of the effort to ensure the long-term sustainable health of the lake's natural ecosystems
and water quality, the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows in collaboration with the local community
shall encourage individual landowners and/or development proponents to contribute to the
restoration and the re-establishment of natural vegetation cover within the Moose Lake watershed
(using native plant species).
3. Connectivity between habitat patches (forested areas) around the lakeshore shall be maintained
and enhanced to ensure the ecological viability of remaining habitat.
4. Subdivision and development proposals shall be designed to conserve and where possible avoid
unique habitat areas and significant wildlife corridors.
5. The Summer Village of Pelican Narrows shall encourage the installation of erosion and sediment
control measures during construction and landscaping. Any major construction activities that
expose soil will require the use of sediment and erosion control measures to mitigate potential
sediment transport. In order to ensure that sediment and erosion controls are in place the Summer
Village may require the submission of a construction management plan. Adherence to the
construction management plan may be a condition of development approval.
PART 6
As a Summer Village, Pelican Narrows is home to seasonal and year-round residents. As no commercial, industrial, or
institutional uses exist within the Summer Village, the community's long term focus is to provide a safe and welcoming
environment for residents and visitors.
As most residential lots in the Summer Village are already developed, it is anticipated that the majority of development
activity in Pelican Narrows will be the re-development of existing structures to accommodate family dynamics, lifestyle
needs, and energy efficiency upgrades.
The Summer Village wishes to ensure that any future residential development/re-development occurs in a manner that
respects the natural environment and compliments the existing community. GOAL
Local housing options meet the demographic and lifestyle needs of all residents and visitors. OBJECTIVE 1
Ensure that residential development and re-development occurs in a way that respects the respects the local
environment and does not create an undue infrastructure burden on the Summer Village. POLICIES
1. Residential development in the Summer Village shall consist of single detatched dwellings, on lots
of a sufficient size to accommodate private onsite water and wastewater systems.
2. All new residential developments shall be serviced with onsite water and sanitary systems, to the
satisfaction of the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows and applicable provincial departments.
3. All private sewage disposal systems on residential lots must be sealed, on- site holding tanks that
conform to current provincial standards and requirements.
4. New residential development shall not be permitted within 6 m of the 1 and 100 year flood line of
water bodies including wetlands.
5. Garage and Secondary Suites (within a principal dwelling) shall be allowed within the Summer
Village, as provided for the in the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows Land Use Bylaw.
PART 7
Recreational opportunities for residents and visitors of the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows are primarily low-impact
activities, such as walking, biking, boating, utilizing the Community Hall's sports courts and playground, and other lake
activities.
The Summer Village wishes to continue to support a healthy and active community. GOAL
A safe, vibrant community with low-impact infrastructure that respond to the current and anticipated recreational needs
of residents and visitors. 7.1
COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE
Recreational infrastructure in the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows includes a walking trail system and a playground. OBJECTI
Support the development of low-impact community infrastructure that does not have a negative impact on
important natural features and ecological systems. POLICIES
1. The Summer Village will encourage the development and maintenance of trail systems within the
Summer Village on lands owned by the Summer Village.
2. Low impact recreational developments shall be encouraged (such as hiking, bicycling, swimming,
cross country skiing and show shoeing, etc.) outside of the shore lands and riparian areas.
3. Formal trails for motorized recreational activities shall not be permitted within the bed and shore
of Moose Lake or within riparian areas. 7.2
PUBLIC ACCESS
The use of joint access and docking facilities by lakeshore property owners, rather than individual piers/docks and access
points (for each lot/unit), shall be encouraged to provide lake access for residents with much less impact to littoral zones
and fish and aquatic habitat than currently occurs with multiple access points. OBJECTIVE 2
Ensure safe, equitable, and environmentally responsible public access to Moose Lake. POLICIES
1. All temporary structures (i.e. docks, piers, mooring buoy, swim platforms, boatlifts) occupying the
bed & shore of Moose Lake shall require a Temporary Field Authorization from Alberta Environment
and Parks.
2. All new or replacement docks shall require a development permit.
3. Communal docks shall be constructed as either floating, pipe or pile docks.
4. The placement of communal docks and lakeshore access shall avoid known spawning and rearing
habitats for fish and nesting and brood-rearing habitats for water birds.
PART 7
5. Developers, property owners or landowners of a lakeshore property shall not carry out any work
or undertaking that results in the harmful alteration, disruption or destruction (HADD) of fish
habitat, unless this HADD has been authorized by the Fish Habitat Management division of Fisheries
& Oceans Canada (DFO). Additionally, Water Act and Public Lands Act authorizations may be
required.
6. Existing residential areas that are near or adjacent to a proposed public access site should be
buffered. A constructed, berm or vegetative buffer should be placed between the residence and a
new public access to mitigate noise and the impacts of increased foot traffic. All buffering shall be
provided to the satisfaction of the Development Authority.
PART 8
As a small residential community, the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows maintains a limited network of municipal
infrastructure. Roads and culverts in the Summer Village are maintained by the municipality to a rural standard.
Water, sanitary, and stormwater servicing for residential lots is via private individual and communal systems.
Emergency and solid waste services for the Summer Village are provided by the MD of Bonnyville through intermunicipal
agreements. GOAL
Efficient and well-maintained infrastructure and transportation systems meet present and future needs. 8.1
ROADS
As new development or redevelopment occur in the Summer Village, it is important to ensure that the capacity of local
roads can safely and efficiently accommodate anticipated traffic demands; now, and into the future. It will be the
responsibility of individual development proponents to demonstrate to the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows (and where
necessary, the MD of Bonnyville) the impact their proposed development(s) will have on local roads and will be responsible
for any updates, expansions, extensions, and studies that will be required to support the proposed development(s). OBJECTIVE
Ensure that the local road network in the Summer Village provides safe and efficient access for local residents and
visitors. POLICIES
1. New development and/or subdivision will not be approved where there is no direct access to a
municipal road which is developed to Summer Village standards.
2. Access to lots within the Summer Village shall not be permitted through lots within adjacent
municipalities.
3. The Summer Village may restrict the use of heavy vehicles on local roads to protect the integrity of
the road. 8.2
WATER SERVICING
Piped municipal potable water infrastructure is currently not available within the Summer Village. Individual residents are
responsible for providing on-site water systems via private wells.
New and/or redeveloped properties will need to provide private or communal onsite water services that are safe, efficient,
and comply with all provincial rules and regulations until such time that municipal piped services become available. OBJECTIVE
Ensure private water servicing in the Summer Village is safe and compliant with all rules and regulations. POLICIES
1. Water servicing in the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows shall be via individual water systems.
2. Water systems in the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows shall comply with all current provincial
rules and regulations.
PART 8
SANITARY SERVICING
Sanitary waste services in the Summer Village are entirely onsite systems developed by individual landowners. Most sanitary
systems in the Summer Village are 'pump out' tanks; the remaining systems utilize either a pit, chemical, or septic field. All
existing and new property owners are responsible for ensuring that their private sewage disposal systems meet current
provincial requirements, as effluent released into the ground water can decrease the quality of Moose Lake's aquifer.
Provincial regulations governing sanitary systems were last updated in 2015. OBJECTIVE 3
Ensure private sanitary servicing in the Summer Village is safe and compliant with all rules and regulations. POLICIES
1. Private sewage disposal systems must comply with current provincial regulations.
2. New surface discharge systems and septic fields and mounds will be prohibited within the Summer
Village.
3. Greywater shall be prohibited from being disposed of on the ground within the Summer Village.
4. Residential lots shall provide onsite facilities for the disposal of greywater.
5. All Recreational Vehicles must store and dispose of private sewage in a sealed container that
comply with the current Alberta Private Sewage Systems Standard of Practice and be suitable for
the intended use. Further, all private sewage must be disposed of in licenced facilities. 8.4
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
When multi-lot residential subdivisions within the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows were first registered it was not
common practice of rural municipalities to prepare a stormwater management plan. Consequently, a stormwater
management plan was not required for the Summer Village at that time.
Stormwater run-off from individual residential lots currently drain into the ditch system adjacent to the developed roadways
or directly into the lake via surrounding properties. OBJECTIVE 4
Ensure stormwater flows in the Summer Village are managed to reduce the risk of flooding and contamination of
Moose Lake. POLICIES
1. The use of low impact design (LID) stormwater management systems and design features that
improve stormwater run-off quality, and reduce the risk of flooding will be encouraged. Potential
LID design features may include: the use of pervious paving surfaces (which trap pollutants), bio-
swales, and rain gardens.
PART 9
Pursuant to the Municipal Government Act, R.S.A., 2000, c. M-26, as amended, this Plan shall be adopted by the Summer
Village of Pelican Narrows, as the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows Municipal Development Plan. Subdivision,
development, and re-development of lands within the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows by the municipality and public
shall be in accordance with the provisions of this Plan. Council shall encourage the Provincial and Federal governments to
have regard for the policies of this Plan in the development and re-development of crown lands and waterbodies, and in
the formulation and implementation of Provincial and Federal policies and programs, within the Summer Village of Pelican
Narrows. GOAL
Responsible and transparent land management and development processes guide decisions. OBJECTIVE 1
Ensure that all Summer Village of Pelican Narrows planning documents are consistent and up-to-date. POLICIES
1. Amendments to this Plan shall be consistent with any Intermunicipal Collaboration Frameworks
and Intermunicipal Development Plans adopted by the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows.
2. When this Plan or any part thereof takes effect, the Summer Village of Pelican Narrows Land Use
Bylaw shall be amended, if necessary, to conform to this Plan.
3. The Municipal Government Act outlines the procedure for an amendment to the Municipal
Development Plan. When reviewing proposals for amendment, Council shall ensure that the
change is in agreement with the plan goal and objectives. Council should require that a request for
an amendment be made in writing. The submission should also address the reasons for the
amendment and conformity with the Plan's goals and intent. When reviewing an amendment,
Council should consult with any agencies it feels may be of assistance.
4. Planning is a continuous process and it is important that the Municipal Development Plan be
monitored, reviewed and updated in order to ensure that the planning needs of the Summer Village
of Pelican Narrows are being met. A review may be appropriate when:
a. changes in economic, social or technical developments occur;
b. a new Council is elected; or
c. an amendment to the Plan is made.
5. Should changing conditions necessitate an amendment to this Plan, the amendment will be by
bylaw.
6. In order to ensure that the original intent of the Plan is protected and that a proper evaluation of
the impact of a proposed amendment on the goals, objectives and policies of the Plan may be
evaluated, the following criteria will apply to consideration of an amendment, which is not initiated
by Council itself:
a. a formal request for amendment will be submitted to Council;
PART 9
b. the request will be in the form of a written brief demonstrating the implications and
conformity of the proposed amendment with the goal, intent, objectives and policies of
