News – Greely’s village centre is getting a makeover before it’s even built. Sunset Lakes has changed its plans for the 16-hectare (40-acre) mixed-use project at the corner of Parkway Road and Bank Street in the wake of another commercial development approved just a few kilometres up the road. Sunset Lakes director Dan Anderson said the development’s commercial aspect has been scaled back in response to another competing proposal at Mitch Owens Road and Bank, which the city approved for rezoning in September. “That has created a competitive market … so that has reduced our need to promote commercial,” Anderson said. “We certainly don’t need 40 acres.” Plans for a large shopping centre have been cancelled, leaving the project’s total commercial space at about 12 acres (5 hectares), he said. The rest of the campus has been filled in with plans for an adult-lifestyle community, a retirement and independent living seniors home and a

Fast plays for United Way St. Mark Catholic High School student Mike Hoglund, number 23, brings down opponent Jeremy Nehmé from Franco-Cité Catholic secondary school with the help of a teammate on Oct. 17. The game was part of United Way Day, an annual event that this year brought 14 teams to St. Joseph High School in Barrhaven for a football jamboree in support of United Way.

If the plans are approved, a 65-lot adult lifestyle community of small single homes would wrap around Greely Centre Lake, butting up against the Water’s Edge community that’s already under construction. The new lots would have a minimum area of 540 square metres, with

an average of 684 square metres. Anderson said the homes would be smaller than the custom homes many Greely residents are accustomed to, in an effort to appeal to retirees, empty nesters and baby boomers. “(This is) to suit a need that hasn’t been completely satisfied in the village,” he said. A retirement and long-term care facility has also been planned for a southern block of land past the medical, dental and retail space already un-

derway. That land was originally put aside for a recreational facility, but the new configuration has moved that project further north. Anderson said the retirement home would include independent living units that would allow seniors to stay in their community while accessing services like the medical facility, which now has a tenant and can get underway.
