More development in North Aylmer?

A large North Aylmer lot owned by a real estate development company

There’s a large plot of land just north of Antoine-Boucher Road and west of Klock Road in North Aylmer that is owned by real estate developer Brigil. The lot is 719,590 square metres and runs along Klock Road from Antoine-Boucher to Pink Road. Before Brigil goes ahead with the project, it wants the city to change the zoning.

When the Bulletin reached Brigil, Carl Martin, marketing spokesperson, said that the project was on the back burner. “Yes, we do own that lot, but it’s outside the urban perimeter and we don’t have the approval from the city to build. We don’t expect to have the permits for 2016 or 2017,” said Martin.

Currently, the minimum size for a lot in that zone is 3,700 square metres with a minimum width of 45 metres. Brigil, listed in the registry of lobbyists, is hoping the city will change that and increase the amount of units allowed in a lot to permit a higher density in the area.

The lot is also in a rural sector requiring a septic tank and water well. Brigil wants the city to include the property or part of the property within the urban perimeter and hopes the city can bring up the water and sewer infrastructure to their North Aylmer parcel.

As Mr. Martin indicated, Brigil has many projects on the go both in Ottawa and in Gatineau and the Klock/Boucher project is currently not a priority. The lot is also not for sale.
