DEVELOPMENTS SECTION

Lot 8B - Respecting the character of the land

Lot 8B is a 32 acre triangle of land situated between the Inland Island Highway and existing rural residential properties to the east. There are 6 acres of protected wetland on the lot, both along its northern edge and forming its southern tip. Trilogy is proposing to develop Lot 8B as an extension of the rural landscape that it is adjacent to, while providing a substantial green buffer along the Highway.

Illustrative Concept Plan – Lot 8B

A neighbourhood with rural roots

The intended development will establish a secluded residential neighbourhood, with large Single Family lots that are clustered along a meandering narrow roadway. As the Concept Plan shows, the subdivided lots are long and narrow, creating easy walkability between the homes and substantial green space in their backyards. Homes are generally to be sited near the central roadway to achieve a sense of a defined community, and to give the homes street presence. Siting the homes near the front of the lots provides residents with a view of their neighbourhood. and assures that there is good separation of the homes from the Highway and from the existing residences to the east.

With sizes averaging 1/2 acre and more, the subdivided lots are suitable for larger “estate homes” and may also be able to accommodate secondary buildings such as studios, workshops, small barns or sheds, providing the Village approves them. Secondary dwellings may also be an option, with secondary suites, “granny flats”, guest houses, and over-garage apartments continuing the tradition of “Bridal Houses” that are found in the Village core.

A meandering country road

Trilogy is proposing a single access road which will either be a split layout with a single lane on either side of a central landscaped area (one way each side), or a more typical two-lane road that follows the topographyof the land and winds around clusters of existing or planted vegetation. The intent with either layout is to achieve a low-impact road footprint, and to express an informal “country road” character that has its own green amenities and visual interest.

Access to Lot 8B is proposed initially as an extension of Kentwood Road to the south, and extended eventually north to Roytson Road, to to provide more convenience for residents, and to comply with the Cumberland’s “Firewise” guidelines
