You will need to attach this consent to your application. If the land is one of the Summer Village's park reserve areas, please email the administration office to request a letter of consent and provide your contact information and where you are requesting to place the dock.

Municipal Development Plan Project
The Summer Village of South View is currently part of a 3-component project along with 7 other municipalities. One component is to adopt a Municipal Development Plan (MDP) which will be a mandatory requirement for all municipalities under the Modernized Municipal Government Act. The Municipal Development Plan is a primary document that guides the future development and growth of the whole community. The MDP sets the vision on how to accommodate this growth responsibly and serves as an important decision-making tool for Council, administration and all stakeholders. As a statutory plan required by the Alberta Municipal Government Act, the MDP provides direction for Council, administration, developers and builders, property-owners, residents and adjacent municipalities.
An MDP will address several items, including:
-future land use
-future development
-coordination
-transportation
-municipal services
1st Reading of Bylaw 220-2020 - A Bylaw to Adopt a Municipal Development Plan - was passed on July 15, 2020.
A Public Open House for the Municipal Development Plan and Municipal Development Plan Bylaw have been scheduled for Saturday, September 12, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. at the Darwell Hall (tentative location).
