5 Strathcona Housing Market Trends Available lots presently <5 Month supply (Healthy market generally requires 12-15 month supply) Shift of market share to other municipalities (Incl. ) comes at the expense of Sherwood Park. Completion of Anthony Henday Dr. will influence market demand This situation must be remedied immediately to mitigate long-term market share losses, & housing industry stagnation.

Economic windows for development must be taken advantage of to establish development opportunities for long-term growth and to maintain a healthy, thriving local economy when growth slows.

6 Strathcona Development Prospective Cambrian Crossing and Bremner Lands Next Development areas to be opened up are located in the NE corner of Sherwood Park “Will be dependent on the delivery of the Bremner major infrastructure that will be required.” Cambrian Requires installation of offsite water (500m), sewer (2.6km) and storm sewer systems, and road upgrades, realignments, and a major highway interchange. Very costly. Very time-intensive. All infrastructure must be built Hillshire to serve “several other adjacent or nearby development(s)”. It may be years before these areas can be developed and built on. Both areas require Cambrian Crossing infrastructure and the lands will be available only for long-term future developments.

They focus on Variety. Variety of prices, styles and needs create award-winning communities. How does this apply to Hillshire? Garrison lands are similar to Hillshire. They are under-developed, generally surrounded by mature communities, and can easily incorporate existing infrastructure. They are very successful, very desirable developments.

Complicated processes can leave the project in limbo and erode confidence.

Delays may have long term negative impacts on Hillshire and also Sherwood Park generally.

19 Processes & Progress We need support for cost effective strategies. This is the last piece of urban developable land in the vicinity and will not need to provide excess capacities for future development on top of what is proposed. Sensible approaches can prevent undue expenses and costly delays. Any Variance Requests are done with commitment to quality and are evidence- based. Support is crucial to allowing Hillshire to develop to its full potential.

20 Project Challenges Process – Time really is money. Public and private benefits. Facilitation – A facilitator model can support necessary and innovative projects through to successful completion Team Approach – Cross department approach must be aligned for supporting success Progressive Standards – Fiscal responsibility for public and private sectors Great Opportunities such as this are worth Overcoming the Challenges!
