Resort Updates

Sandy Shores Resort


Construction continues in the cold at Sandy Shores Resort!  Here are a few updates:


Infrastructure:

1) The road was complete in the summer and is now maintained by the RM of Coteau. It is open and used regularly with the construction crew on site. 

2) Rolling and seeding of grass in the ditches was completed on the access road and within the development.  It is expected new grass will get long and go to seed rather than have regular cutting in the first year to ensure it is established.

 3) Underground power installation by Pro Western Powerline is ongoing and expected to be complete in January.

4) Engineering for potable water delivery to lots and a water treatment plant is expected to be complete this winter by KGS.  WSA approval is needed. Construction timeframe is not known and is dependent on lot sales.  It is possible that this can occur in 2017.  Initial plans are to run the lines to the rear of the lots wherever there is green space (leaving the power lines alone as much as possible).

5) Engineering for the marina has begun by WSP and the survey plan shows water depth including the area in front of the lots.  The engineering work and approvals should be complete this winter.  Construction is expected in the winter of 2018.

6) Internet and mobility coverage is a major project.  SaskTel has submitted a verbal quote for GPON.  This would deliver internet and support the possibility of a tower offering improved mobility service.  YourLink service is also being considered. Other services will be considered, if you know of other possibilites, please contact me.  CRTC recently announced high speed internet is considered a basic coverage and should be available everywhere.  It is expected that this will impact services but likely only in the long term.  This is a very complicated project with several government agencies and requiring investment from other parties.  I anticipate it will not be installed in 2017 but advocacy and planning are occurring.

7) It is unlikely other utilities such as gas will be explored.

I welcome your thoughts and feedback on the infrastructure.  They are major projects.  The community association will be invited to discuss the future projects.

Some lots will have lot price increases at the end of March 2017.  There is additional value in the lots as the infrastructure is in place.  Book your lot now for spring and summer possessions!

Never book an RV site again!  There are many benefits of titled lots at Sandy Shores Resort.  Seasonal RV camping registries open in January, tell your friends about Sandy Shores Resort!


I welcome your referrals to join the Sandy Shores Resort community!  I  will pay for any referrals that result in a lot sale.  Contact Rauncie or Shelley for details.



Community Association (for Lot Owners):

I am drafting the Community Association document and expect it to be complete in early March. I anticipate it will allow one vote per lot.  I anticipate starting with a small board.  Please let me know if you are interested in a board position.  It will offer a voice for the lot owners in working forward with infrastructure and any development concerns.  I would appreciated any feedback on the structure or areas to be addressed within the document.
