Yorkton Council approved a new sub division of property in the city to help the process of it becoming urban reserve.

鈥淭he subdivision is proposed by the owner, Cowessess Flood Claim Holdings, so they may apply for Federally-designated Urban Reserve status on a newly-created 2.99 acre lot, and to defer development plans for the 16.38 acre remnant portion,鈥� Michael Eger Director of Planning, Building & Development, with the City told the regular meeting of Council Monday.

鈥淭he owner has proposed to name the new street 鈥淟ittle Child Way鈥�. They have advised that this originates from their Treaty Four signatory, Chief Kw卯win啪ance. He was Saulteaux and the meaning of his name translated to 鈥渟mall boy鈥�/鈥渓ittle child鈥�. In 1886, surveyors approximated the spelling of the Chief鈥檚 name to Cowessess, which formed the Nation鈥檚 namesake and is the thusly translated to mean 鈥渓ittle child鈥�.鈥�

Pursuant to Bylaw No. 26/2001, Council approval is typically not required for a subdivision creating no more than two parcels, however, a new roadway is proposed and the name must be approved in accordance with聽 the City鈥檚 鈥淣aming of Civic Property and Development Areas鈥� Policy.

Eger said work done by the property owner helped expedite the process.

鈥淐owessess, in conjunction with their team of professional consultants, have worked closely with City officials throughout the development process,鈥� he explained.

鈥淐owessess is nearing completion of a draft Concept Plan and will soon submit for City consideration. This Plan will provide the basis for future development and subdivision of the remnant lands.鈥�

Little Child Way would become a City asset upon completion of construction and warranty obligations by the developer.

鈥淭he details of this, along with installation of underground City services, required dedication for municipal reserve (or money-in-lieu) and payment of Development Levies would be addressed through a standard servicing agreement,鈥� said Eger.

鈥淚n consideration of the extensive work carried out by Cowessess and of the Federal requirements for the Reserve-status application, Administration is satisfied to have the subdivision proceed at this time. Administration further supports the naming of the road as 鈥淟ittle Child Way鈥�, as it is accordance with our 鈥淣aming of Civic Property and Development Areas鈥� policy, and with best practices for street name designators.鈥�

Council was unanimous in accepting the plan to sub divide the land.
