Sandy Point Resort developer on hook to pave road
The developer of a popular resort on Gull Lake is going to have to pay up to have its road paved.
Calgary resident Michael Castella, who owns a lot at Sandy Point RV resort, presented a petition to Lacombe County council on Thursday informing them of just how poor shape the road is in leading to the resort.
The petition states traffic has increased due to the newly opened public beach and boat launch causing Range Road 11 to come into disrepair on a much more frequent basis. It goes on to say the road can become very dusty when dry and extremely muddy and slick when rainy.
According to the development agreement signed no more than five years ago between the County and Delta Land Co., the developer is obligated to pay for repaving once traffic counts reach a certain threshold, in this case 400 vehicles per day.
