Windermere ASP Consolidation - City of Edmonton

3.0 SITE CONTEXT AND DEVELOPMENT
CONSIDERATIONS
3.1 Existing Land Uses
The land uses within the study area are
dominated by agricultural activities with
large residential estates, country
residences, and recreational facilities
concentrated to the northwest along the
North Saskatchewan River Valley.
Electrical transmission towers traverse the
study area south at approximately 149
Street and along the northwest within the
TUC.
The Windermere ASP contains a number
of existing land uses as shown on Figure
5.0 – Opportunities and Constraints. In
general, agricultural uses dominate the
plan area and include grain crops,
hayfields, pastured land and small country
residences. In the north-western portion of
the ASP, large residential estates (i.e.
Windermere, Windermere Ridge and
Westpoint Estates) are located along the
top of bank of the North Saskatchewan
River Ravine. Major recreational sites
such as River Ridge and Windermere Golf
and Country Club(s) are located along the
North Saskatchewan River Valley.
In the eastern portion of the plan, the
Jagare Ridge golf club is located at the
eastern boundary of the ASP directly
south of Ellerslie Road and west of the
Whitemud Creek Ravine. This recreational
area is bisected by electrical transmission
towers traversing north-south across the
plan area at approximately 149 Street.
Slightly west of the electrical transmission
lines on lands
owned by the City of Edmonton a snow dump exists on the
north side of Ellerslie Road. A private corporation’s micro
-cell tower is located north of Ellerslie Road along 156 Street.
