City of Meadow Lake receives application to move home from RM to city
An application has been made by an area resident to move a house approximately 26 km from Rapid View on to a lot at 820 2 Ave. West.
According to council agenda, the structure will be placed on a new foundation, with no anticipation of a future secondary suite. The applicant is not the current owner of the lot, but is planning to purchase the lot subject to the approval.
In an email, City Clerk Jessica Walters said the request is not uncommon and offers another option infill housing.
“Because it involves bringing an existing building up to current building codes, there is a little more oversight required on our end,” Walters email read. “These applications come to council to ensure the building will be a good fit in the neighbourhood it is moving to.”
