The Rural Municipality of Estevan councillors will be faced with an interesting proposal when they convene again for a regular business session next week.
An application has been made for discretionary principal use of a medicinal cannabis greenhouse operation within the agricultural district of the local rural municipality.
Although the actual proposed size of the greenhouse was not known to RM administrator Grace Potter, she noted it appeared it would be a rather substantial size to accommodate the proposal.
A discretionary use development permit application notice has been issued and published in last week’s edition of Southeast Lifestyles.
The intention is to consider a development permit application.
The Mercury’s attempt to contact the proposed developer were unsuccessful.
The RM council will be conducting a public meeting for ratepayers to discuss the application and that is scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 11 at 1 p.m. at their municipal office on Fourth Street in Estevan.
The RM of Estevan No. 5 council will receive written and verbal submissions respecting the proposed development and the permit process prior to and during their public meeting.
