The remainder <strong>of</strong> the lands are cleared and under<br />

cultivation. None <strong>of</strong> these uses pose any particular<br />

constraints to future urban development. However, future<br />

development <strong>of</strong> any and all properties within the study area<br />

is the option <strong>of</strong> the respective landowners.<br />

3.2 Surrounding Land Uses<br />

The <strong>ASP</strong> area is bound by Anthony Henday Drive on the<br />

north, east by Whitemud Creek, south by 41 Avenue SW<br />

and North Saskatchewan River Ravine Top-<strong>of</strong>-Bank on the<br />

west. The surrounding land use north <strong>of</strong> Anthony Henday<br />

Drive is the developing residential neighbourhoods <strong>of</strong><br />

Haddow and Terwillegar Towne and<br />

planned neighbourhoods <strong>of</strong> Terwillegar<br />

Gardens and South Terwillegar. East <strong>of</strong><br />

Whitemud Creek future neighbourhoods<br />

within Heritage Valley are contemplated.<br />

South <strong>of</strong> 41 Avenue SW lies the<br />

Intermunicipal Fringe composed primarily<br />

<strong>of</strong> cultivated agricultural land and farm<br />

residences. West <strong>of</strong> the Top-<strong>of</strong>-Bank lies<br />

the North Saskatchewan River Ravine<br />

System, <strong>Windermere</strong> and River Ridge<br />

Golf and Country Clubs.<br />

Directly south <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Windermere</strong> <strong>ASP</strong> is<br />

agricultural land located within the Leduc County<br />

/ <strong>Edmonton</strong> Intermunicipal Fringe Area. This<br />

area <strong>of</strong> Leduc County has been experiencing<br />

increasing development pressure prompting the<br />

County to commission an Area Structure Plan for<br />

these lands. In January <strong>of</strong> 2003, terms <strong>of</strong><br />

reference were established for the Leduc County<br />

North Area Structure Plan which includes a<br />

portion <strong>of</strong> north-east Leduc County and those<br />

lands located near / adjacent to the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Edmonton</strong> (that includes <strong>Windermere</strong>), Nisku<br />

Business Park, Town <strong>of</strong> Beaumont, and<br />

Strathcona County.<br />

The Leduc County North Area Structure Plan will identify<br />

key land use issues, opportunities and constraints, engage<br />

and consult with relevant stakeholders, and develop a<br />

“Preferred Planning Concept”. The intent is to establish<br />

planning goals, objectives, and policies that will guide<br />

future planning and development for the area over the next<br />

20 years. This document should be consulted regarding<br />

future urban development interface within the Leduc<br />

County / <strong>Edmonton</strong> Intermunicipal Fringe Area.<br />
