Bylaw C-8547-2024
Schedule 'B-1' - CSMI Benefitting Area
1
The rationale for and calculations of the CSMI base levy rate applicable to the portion of
the CSMI benefitting area located within Rocky View County's boundaries, as shown on
Map 'A' of this bylaw, to pay for the cost of new or expanded regional stormwater
infrastructure required for or benefitting subdivision or development are based upon the
CSMI regional stormwater management infrastructure capital costs detailed in the CSMI
Water Modelling and Stage Development Report prepared by MPE a Division of Englobe
(Formerly MPE Engineering Ltd.) and dated June 2020 (the "CSMI report").
Rationale:
2
As a result of the anticipated increase of stormwater runoff within boundaries of Rocky
View County due to newly created residential, business, and institutional subdivision and
development, the County requires the development of the CSMI regional stormwater
management infrastructure to efficiently treat and transport stormwater to the identified
receiving water bodies. Subject to the exemptions as provided within this bylaw.
3
As detailed in the CSMI report, the total remaining construction costs for Rocky View
County's portion of the CSMI regional stormwater management infrastructure as of 2024
is approximately $77,138,200 as follows, inclusive of infrastructure construction and land
acquisition if required:
(1)
the County's total portion of CSMI regional stormwater management infrastructure
cost is $79,913,700;
(2)
the amount of CSMI levies collected up until the end of 2023 is $2,775,500; and
(3)
the total remaining CSMI regional stormwater management infrastructure cost as
of 2024 is $77,138,200.
4
The total area of developable lands located within the CSMI benefitting area based upon
a 25-year growth projection is 3,965 hectares (9,798 acres). Rocky View County's total
contributing area consists of 3,746 hectares (9,257 acres) as follows:
(1)
the total benefitting area is 3,965 hectares (9,798 acres);
(2)
an estimated 219 hectares (541 acres) is existing developed lands; and
(3)
the total CSMI contributing area is 3,746 hectares (9,257 acres).
5
The total area of benefitting lands located within Rocky View County that are also located
within the CSMI benefitting area are outlined on Map 'A' of this bylaw.
6
The total CSMI base levy rate applicable to the contributing area within the CSMI
benefitting area within Rocky View County is: $77,138,200/3,746 hectares =
$20,592/hectare or $8,333/acre.

Bylaw C-8547-2024
Schedule 'B-2' - Langdon Regional Drainage Benefitting Area
1
The rationale and calculations of the applicable off-site levy to be imposed within the
Hamlet of Langdon, as identified on Map 'B' of this bylaw, to pay for the cost of new or
expanded regional stormwater infrastructure required for or benefitting subdivision or
development within the Langdon Regional Drainage Benefitting Area are based upon the
Langdon Comprehensive Stormwater Review Report prepared by MPE a Division of
Englobe (Formerly MPE Engineering Ltd.) and dated February 2016 (the "Langdon
Stormwater Report").
Rationale:
2
The off-site levy calculations are based on the figures and recommendations provided in
the Langdon Stormwater Report.
3
With the increase of stormwater runoff within the Hamlet of Langdon due to both existing
and newly created residential, business, and institutional development, Rocky View
County requires the development of regional stormwater infrastructure as identified in the
Langdon Stormwater Report and Map 'B' of this bylaw to efficiently transport stormwater
to the identified receiving water bodies (the "Langdon regional stormwater infrastructure").
4
The Langdon regional stormwater infrastructure is comprised of the following
infrastructure projects as described in the Langdon Stormwater Report:
(1)
the Glenmore Redirection; and
(2)
the Municipal Ditch Upgrades (Piped Option).
5
The estimated remaining costs for the Langdon regional stormwater infrastructure as of
2024 is $10,665,700 as follows:
(1)
the total construction costs of the Langdon regional stormwater infrastructure are
$10,717,300;
(2)
an estimated amount of $51,600 was paid prior to 2024; and
(3)
the total remaining infrastructure cost for the Langdon stormwater infrastructure is
$10,665,700.
6
The lands benefitting from the Langdon regional stormwater infrastructure are indicated
on Map 'B' of this bylaw and consist of the entire Hamlet of Langdon boundary of 990
hectares (2,446 acres).
