The Rural Municipality of Ste. Anne will hold two public hearings and share details on a proposed land split on August 12, 2026, giving property owners and residents a chance to speak up about nearby development plans. The session begins at 10:00 a.m. at the municipal office, 395 Traverse Road, and will also be streamed live online.
The first hearing covers an application from the Maykut property at 47130 Road 41E. The owners want to keep existing temporary sheds on the site and need a South side yard requirement relaxed from 25 feet to about 14 feet.
The second hearing is for the Hupe property at 45094 Lilac Lane. The owners are asking to add a detached secondary suite and need front-yard rules changed for the existing mobile home and a gazebo. One variance would shift the mobile home setback from 125 feet to 110 feet, while the gazebo setback would drop from 125 feet to 26 feet.
A separate proposal from Matthew Penner at 45013 Road 40N is not a hearing but a subdivision notification. The plan is to carve a 7.03-acre farmstead site out of a 120-acre parcel for hobby farm use. The notification says the owners have no need for the remaining land.
Anyone who wants to comment in writing must send letters by noon on August 11, 2026. People can also take part virtually. Recordings of the hearings will be posted on the RM website.
The August 12 session follows a June 10, 2026 hearing for the Hiebert rezoning by-law, which would change agricultural land to rural residential use. That file remains on the public record. The RM has seen steady growth, issuing 105 development permits in 2025.
