Muskrat Dam Lake First Nation - 25 Lot Subdivision Development

The Proposed Project

Muskrat Dam Lake First Nation is proposing the construction of a new subdivision (~33,250m2) consisting of 25 lots for the future construction of 25 multifamily residential duplexes (totaling 50 new houses). Project activities include:

Road Construction

  • Clearing, grubbing and leveling of road section;
  • Road will be 250 m long and 8 m wide and built in accordance with MTO standards;
  • 4:1 side slope with a minimum 0.75 m deep ditch with 3:1 ditch back slope; And
  • Site drainage and water diversion, and installation of new culverts along the road section.

Lot Development and Servicing

  • Clearing, grubbing and peat removal along the road right-of-way;
  • Construction of driveways for individual lots; And
  • Installation of water and sewer lines that will terminate 5 m past the front property line.

Water Main Distribution Extension

  • Installation of PVC watermain along the proposed subdivision, connecting the existing mainline; And
  • Fire hydrants to be installed at 150 m intervals along the proposed water main.

Wastewater Collection Extension

  • Installation of PVC sanitary main along the proposed subdivision for a gravity sewage system.

Hydro Extension

  • Extension of overhead transmission lines to future residential homes.

 

The construction of this subdivision will help alleviate some of the housing needs of the community that is currently experiencing a crisis due to the lack of suitable housing available to accommodate the community's growing population.
