The corporation will subsequently sell the development blocks to developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Claude&#8217;s developments are often very large, which is very scary, it&#8217;s really changing Huntsville a lot. I do have faith that Claude&#8217;s work as a developer is very good and I would rather it be him than an outside developer. He lives here. He loves Huntsville. He wants to leave a good legacy for what he&#8217;s done here in Huntsville and I know that for a fact,&#8221; said Huntsville Councillor Bob Stone who is the chair of the Huntsville Planning Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s intensifying small areas and trying to maintain the trees and the natural environment around these developments while still getting the 600 units, and by having these planning approvals in place, it would take a lot for someone to change what we have decided is OK. It&#8217;s huge, and it&#8217;s right in our core, but it was inevitable, and so I would rather have a developer like Claude doing this than someone from Toronto.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stone added that you cannot stop growth, but you can try to guide it. &#8220;You can&#8217;t hold that back, and so we&#8217;re trying to manage our growth and what that looks like and put plans in place for the future,&#8221; he said, adding that the Town&#8217;s Planning Department is currently developing policy for the height and density of developments and how and where those will unfold. Stone said growth in Huntsville is a good thing economically, but &#8220;it&#8217;s disturbing when you&#8217;re trying to hang on to what Huntsville was, and still is, a small town. What does that mean? We&#8217;re all struggling with that question. We need to keep a close eye on the future and what we need to protect going forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sandford Investments Corp is also the donor of the lands on which the new Fairvern Nursing Home is being developed and is the developer behind the lands where the new commercial plaza on <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/five-acre-commercial-development-off-hanes-rd-to-include-freshco-gets-preliminary-site-plan-approval\/\">Hanes Road and Centre Street N is located, which was later sold to Urban Retail Inc.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The developer was also asking the Town to recommend the approval of their plan of subdivision to the District so it can proceed with the road work required &#8220;because Fairvern needs a road finished in front of it and the sewer and water connected like right away,&#8221; said Doughty who explained that the south side of Fairvern, which will be the front entrance, will be accessed through the new road being created which will be called Paisley Avenue. The west side of Fairven will have access through a side entrance on Centre Street N.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doughty said the density of what&#8217;s being proposed on the lands beside Fairvern will be seen from Paisley Avenue but it will not be prominent from anywhere else. &#8220;You won&#8217;t see anything from the north. You won&#8217;t see anything from the south. On Hwy. 60, you&#8217;ll see a little bit and the impact from Centre Street N won&#8217;t be twice as much as Fairvern. The building across the road from Fairven will be much, much smaller than Fairvern. Fairvern is what will dominate that landscape. The rest of the stuff will be half as tall as Faiververn.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doughty noted that there will be several conservation and green amenity areas, including a multi-use trail connection. &#8220;The entire property is about close to twice as big as the developable area is. So the developable area is about 35 acres, and there&#8217;s almost the same amount of property that will be left in its natural state.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doughty said the exact mix of rental and owned housing will depend on the developers. &#8220;I would expect there&#8217;ll be a mix of all of the above. There will probably be some affordable housing as well. It&#8217;s a great location because it&#8217;s so central, and people can walk to a lot of things and not need cars.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also spoke of the housing that Fairvern staff will need. &#8220;There&#8217;ll be at least 150 people working there because it&#8217;s 24-7, they&#8217;ll have four shifts of people working there.&#8221; He also said the development will offer nearby housing that a spouse of a resident at Fairvern may seek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked how long he thinks it will take to develop the 600 units, Doughty estimated that it will take anywhere from 10 to 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Huntsville&#8217;s Planning Committee has granted the project conditional approval. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>See the Draft Plan of Subdivision below:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"774\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/05\/draft-plan-of-subdivision.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-191588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/05\/draft-plan-of-subdivision-300x265.png 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/05\/draft-plan-of-subdivision-768x679.png 768w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/05\/draft-plan-of-subdivision-339x300.png 339w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/05\/draft-plan-of-subdivision-600x530.png 600w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/05\/draft-plan-of-subdivision-489x432.png 489w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/05\/draft-plan-of-subdivision-750x663.png 750w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/05\/draft-plan-of-subdivision-630x557.png 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/05\/draft-plan-of-subdivision.png 774w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find the staff report <a href=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/05\/CPPA_03_2024_HTE-_-S2007-11-Sandford-Investment-Inc.-13-Madeline-Street-_-0-Shay-Road-1.pdf\">HERE<\/a>.

That's because I love this community. I love the wide open spaces, ancient rocks, lakes and forests. I also love the buzz of Huntsville's core and, well, the wi-fi. I'm a news and chocolate junkie. Respect integrity, talent, kindness, a good story and the taste of an organic tomatoe. I hope you like this site and don't be shy about pitching me a story.","url":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/author\/tamaradelavega\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=191575"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191575\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":191616,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191575\/revisions\/191616"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/191591"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
