The Rural Municipality of Ste. Anne is moving forward with a series of land-use decisions that will impact several local properties this spring. Council has set aside three dates in May and June for hearings and meetings to review various development, subdivision, and rezoning requests as the region manages ongoing growth.
The first set of decisions will take place during a public hearing on May 13, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the Municipal Office Council Chambers. Four applications are on the agenda: three variance requests and one combined conditional-use and variance application. The variance requests include a proposal from Reimer to reduce minimum site area requirements for new lots, a request from Sarrasin to decrease setback requirements from the Seine River for rail car storage, and a request from Samson to adjust site width and side setback requirements for a new shed. Additionally, Janzen is seeking approval for a detached secondary suite, which includes a request for front yard setback variances.
Following these hearings, council will review a subdivision proposal on May 27, 2026. This item is not a public hearing, but rather a notification for a project led by the Franz Hoepner Wiens Law Office. The proposal involves creating a 0.05-acre lot for utility services and consolidating the remaining land with an adjacent property on Dawson Road.
On June 10, 2026, a final public hearing will address bylaw amendments for the Hiebert property. These changes propose redesignating and rezoning the land from agricultural mixed-use to rural residential. Residents who wish to provide input or learn more about these applications can contact the RM of Ste. Anne Development Officer, Hadiseh Bajelan, at 204-422-5929 extension 107 or via email at [email protected].
