New subdivision developments - Page 7

All new neighbourhoods begin as suburbs. The direction to which they develop depends on its layout and public and private services offered in its vicinity.

So basically the southern extension of Avalon, the future Mer Bleue and Notting Gate communities.

E-MAP now shows streets between Greenbank and Cedarview north of Cambrian as part of the newer part of the Stonebridge community in South Barrhaven

Chelsea mulls petition over development plans
Dave Rogers, The Ottawa Citizen
Published: Thursday, September 25, 2008

OTTAWA - Chelsea residents will know by Friday whether the municipality will open a register that can be signed by voters who want a referendum on the controversial Chelsea Creek housing project.

The mixed residential and commercial development would be built on a farm near the entrance to Gatineau Park on the southeast corner of Highway 5 and Old Chelsea Road. It was to have 283 housing units, including an 81-room long-term care home and a mixture of shops and offices, tripling the size of the community, but developer Mark Shank has dropped plans for the nursing home and reduced the project to 197 units.

Charles Cardinal, a spokesman for the municipality, said Chelsea would start the process that could lead to a referendum if 12 of the 75 voters who live nearby sign a petition. The deadline to sign is Thursday. If there is enough support, Chelsea would allow opponents in the immediate area of the development to sign the register at the municipal hall on Oct. 20 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

If the opposition meets the same mathematical threshold required in the first phase, council could stop the development or hold a neighbourhood referendum in December. A simple majority of voters living near Chelsea Creek could kill the project.

Residents force vote on Chelsea development

Tom Spears
Ottawa Citizen

Wednesday, November 12, 2008

OTTAWA-Chelsea residents voted Wednesday to force a referendum on a controversial development.

A total of 33 people registered their opposition to the Chelsea Creek development project. That exceeded the threshold of 19 signatories, which now requires Chelsea to hold a referendum on the development, said Geoff Bleich, a member of Preservation Chelsea, a group opposed to the development.

It has been a complex path so far. The InHarmony development group had collected names of its own supporters on a counter-petition, aiming to have the development approved without a referendum, but that petition wasn't accepted by the municipality.

There were 84 people eligible to register their opposition - the same people who would be eligible to vote later in a referendum, said Charles Cardinal, the spokesman for Chelsea.

However, if a large majority registered Wednesday to oppose the project, Chelsea's council would have the option of deciding that the result of a referendum among those same voters would be a foregone conclusion, he said.

"We're going to report the result of the register officially to council on Dec. 1," he said. Quebec law says a referendum, if there is one, must be held before the end of February.

The crane is gone now...it is a 6 storey retirement home being built by Claridge...surrounded by new development and an artificially created pond to the north.

Great link to all of these growing areas....the general consensus I get is that these areas look a real mess....a work in progress. It would be interesting to have the ability to see the old and new for the next time that imagery gets updated in these areas.

My guess is that these photos are mid to late May 2008.

Some areas of QC are on the birds eye footage. I know that Aylmer is on, parts of Chelsea, Hull, Gatineau. On the Ontario side, it goes as far as Cumberland Village, Greely, Manotick, Stittsville, Carp etc.

I've posted the QC developments on the QC section one but I could put them here as well. Unfortunetaly, I was not able to have a bird's eye view shot from Findlay Creek (south of Bank and Leitrim) and Greely.

Although It is possible to have a bird's eye shot above the future Manotick development (north of Century Road).

I gather you are loving this birds eye feature.....it is much better than Google Earth imagery for a lot of Ottawa.

I'm wondering it will when and if Google has the at street-level shot. Doesn't seem avilable in Ottawa but in many parts of the States.

Here's one at street-level shot from downtown Oklahoma City for example

Cre47 · #**136** Posted **Nov 27, 2008, 3:58 AM**

From a recent Randell Denley and this might jump many councillors but apparently some developer is considering to significantly expand urban sprawl from Stittsville to possibly Barrhaven - or in clearer words have one constant suburban community from Stittsville to near Barrhaven or basically it will be from Stittsville to Riverside South or perhaps Leitrim. Hopefully this is not a sign it will be ending up even though in over 50 years be a continuous suburban area from Stittsville to Orleans. Yikes!

Google cars have been spotted in Ottawa and Mtl, Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary etc, but there is a time lag to assemble the footage and blur out any people's faces etc.

When it works it is a great feature. Have a look at parts of Detroit....absolutely frightening what a city could end up looking like.

Chelsea Creek plan to face referendum

December 2, 2008 12:01 AM

OTTAWA — Chelsea council voted last night in favour of holding a referendum regarding a controversial development.
About 85 residents will be eligible to vote on Sunday, Feb. 1 on the Chelsea Creek project being proposed by the InHarmony development group, municipality spokesman Charles Cardinal said. An advance poll will be held a week earlier on Jan. 25.

Only residents with property contiguous to the development site at Highway 5 and Old Chelsea Road are eligible to vote in the referendum.
In mid-November, it looked like InHarmony had gathered enough signatures of support from the affected residents to stall the referendum, but the municipality later declared that some of the signatures were invalid.
However, 33 people registered their opposition to the project, far above the 19 signatories required to trigger the council’s consideration of a resolution to hold the referendum.
