Inspite of recent rulings and troubles, both the developer of Paradise Shores and the County of Stettler remain willing to look at how they can work together on the situation.

Reeve Larry Clarke along with chairman of the Municipal Planning Commission (MPC), James Nibourg, met with Paradise Shores’ representatives in late June to discuss the project’s current status.

“We look forward to actively working towards a positive outcome with Paradise Shores’ developers, enabling them to fulfill the Subdivision & Development Appeal Board’s (SDAB) decision which allows 168 RV sites, once all of the conditions of the SDAB decision have been met,” said Nibourg.

Paradise Shores has an appeal filed with the Alberta Court of Appeal on the SDAB decision of Nov. 2, 2018 that reduced the allowable density of the site by about half.

The county had also issued a stop work order for the site back in May that remains in effect. The order restricts day-use and overnight accommodation until the various conditions of the Nov.2 decision have been met.

“The developer will be notified prior to any action being taken in regards to the stop order,” added Nibourg.

That said, the developer may continue work on the site in order to bring it into compliance.
