A virtual hearing was conducted by the Town of Drumheller’s Subdivision and Development Appeal Board (SDAB) regarding a proposed mobile asphalt and aggregate facility along Highway 10, northwest of the community of Rosedale.
The town received the application for development from Brooks Asphalt in August 2021, which was approved as a discretionary use by the Municipal Planning Commission on September 23.
Five appeals were received from neighbouring affected landowners in the area, including one from a local business, citing noise, increased traffic along Highway 10 corridor, and health concerns from emissions produced by the proposed facility as concerns.
Brooks Asphalt previously operated a temporary facility approximately 10 years ago at the same location. One of the appellants noted in a letter to the town this facility “was vehemently opposed” at the time by area residents and caused “major air quality, noise, dust, and traffic issues” during its operation.
A decision will be provided in writing within 15 days of the hearing.
