What is the tentative plan of subdivision?

The subdivision application must be accompanied by a Tentative Plan of Subdivision. The Tentative Plan may be prepared by an Alberta Land Surveyor. The plan is to be prepared at a 1:5,000 scale, with metric dimensions that, at a minimum, must show the following: 

• The location, dimensions, area, and boundaries of the parcel(s) to be subdivided.
• The location, dimensions, area, and boundaries of each new parcel to be created.
• The location of all buildings and structures (e.g. houses, shops, barns, oil and gas facilities, etc.) and distance to the existing and proposed parcel boundaries. Also indicate any buildings that are to be removed.
• The existing and proposed access points to the subdivided and remnant parcels.  
• The location of any existing or proposed water well(s), dugouts, and any other domestic water supply facilities.
• The type and location of any existing or proposed on-site sewage treatment system and discharge point, along with the distances to the potable water supply, residence, any water course and the existing and proposed property lines.
• The location of all utility rights-of-way, easements, and identification of their ownership.
• The location of any highway, local road, lease road, or rail line within or adjacent to the parcel to be subdivided.
• Location of any steep (> 15%) sloped areas, water bodies, watercourses, and drainage ditches that are located within or adjacent to the land to be subdivided.
• The location of any treed areas and bush.
• The location of any gas or oil wells and pipelines. 
• The location of any existing or proposed confined feeding operations or sour gas facilities within or adjacent to the land to be subdivided along with the applicable setbacks.
• The location of any existing, closed, reclaimed or proposed sewage lagoons or solid waste facilities within or adjacent to the land to be subdivided along with the applicable setbacks.
