But Mr. Sim says there is a legal impediment to ClubLink’s redevelopment plan. He says the original development agreement signed in 1981 between the City of Kanata and Campeau Corp. included a clause that the golf course would be operated “in perpetuity.” Further, it states that 40 per cent of the land in the Kanata Lakes development “shall be left as open space for recreation and natural environment purposes.
The redevelopment of the club is hamstrung by a 1981 agreement with the City of Ottawa that the lands be operated as a golf course 'in perpetuity.'But ClubLink’s plan has run into opposition from some residents and local politicians. “In the whole vicinity of the Kanata golf course, there are thousands of homes that are approved for development already,” Mr. Sim said. “You’ve already got many years of housing already approved. You don’t need it.”Christine Hauschild, who has been with Royal LePage in the area since 1993, wrote on her public Facebook page that the potential impact of the development on home prices has dominated conversations.
Club member Tony De Marinis said he and other members have felt confusion, anger and frustration since the December announcement.
