Some expansion's in the works at Delta Beach for a new subdivision of cottages. RM of Portage la Prairie reeve Kam Blight outlines the plans presented at council this week.

"On Hackberry Avenue East there's a proposed subdivision for an additional seven cottage lots out there. So, that requires an extension or creation of the road East Hackberry. And so we held a hearing for that today. And then there was some excellent discussion on that, and some great compromise. And we look forward to working with these developers going forward."

Blight notes some neighbours had concerns that were quickly resolved by the developer.

"It sounds like the request of the neighbouring property owners has been satisfied. It's great to see people work together like that, and come to some common ground."

One resident requested the end of the new road have traffic turn around contrary to normal traffic flow to avoid headlights shining into the proposed cottages.

"I guess that's something we'll have to look into more to understand exactly the ramifications of that, and what our options are. It's something we'll definitely take into consideration and see if that's a fit for that area, and then we'll look at working with the developers on that."
