Notice of public hearings
Subdivision and Development Appeal Hearing
A development appeal hearing has been scheduled to listen to an appeal against the decision of the Development Authority. The Development Authority denied development permit 26/29 for the placement of an accessory building (shop) in front of the principal residence. The property is 403 10th Street, Dunmore Alberta: Plan 7810220, Block 5, Lot 1.
The appellant is appealing the decision of the development authority for the placement of the accessory building as the location of the home is located near the back of the lot restricting the ability to build behind it as per the bylaws. The appellant has their home located on the southwest corner of the lot. The waterline and septic fields are in the southeast quarter of the property inhibiting the ability to build on this portion of land.
The property is zoned Hamlet Residential (HR).
The Subdivision and Development Appeal Board Hearing is scheduled for:
Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at 10 a.m. in Cypress County Council Chambers.
