Characteristics:
Larger lots have more rural feel
Greater infrastructure maintenance costs and sprawl factor
Less wilderness experience and habitat preservation
Characteristics:
No new density (still 730 homes) - less rural / more community feel
Lower future infrastructure maintenance costs and less sprawl
More wilderness experience and habitat preservation

Park boundary
Foothills will dedicate at lest 900 acres
of land for park however the specific
boundary of that park has not been
established.
Issues to consider
Areas to be
developed
Future
Park
Boundary?
Proposed process
Identify areas of ecological importance
with professional biologist.
Identify important infrastructure and
development areas with the District.
Work with community to identify areas
of recreation and cultural importance.
Engage the site together and identify
the best boundary location that meets
the needs of all parties.

Future growth
It is difficult to predict growth in traffic after the first
10 years pending changes in the development
concept, demographics, travel habits as well as
changes in access to other roads which will
disseminate traffic.
Additional traffic impact studies will be needed to
identify future impacts in 10 years and to identify
needed mitigation efforts to minimize impacts.

Traffic calming
The Foothills expects to take many
measures to calm traffic to increase
pedestrian safety.
Pedestrian access
The Foothills will include many paths and
sidewalks to support walking and a future
village will result in more internal trips
and fewer to outside areas thereby
reducing traffic.
Cycling support
Cycling is a favourite use of the Foothills by
many and efforts will be made to support
cycling in many ways thereby reducing
traffic.
Transit
As a full future neighbourhood, the
Foothills will work with the Regional
Transit system to ensure there is transit
available as soon as possible in the area.
Carpooling
The Foothills will take a number of steps to
encourage car pooling and community cars
to further minimize single person
occupancy vehicle numbers.
Others
The Foothills intends to work closely with
Lantzville, the Regional District and the
Lantzville community to identify other
ways to minimize negative traffic impacts
wherevery possible.
Water supply
Approved 50+ gallon/minute production well
Density supplied
Based on the approved flow
rates, this new well will support
the first phase of development
112 units.
Drilling program
An additional drilling program
will take place over 2015 to
discover as much water as
possible to ensure a high level
of water self-sufficiency for the
Foothills.
Reservoir
A major reservoir is
expected to be built on
Copley Mtn to supply both
the Foothills and the upper
Lantzville areas.
Piping
Rainwater infiltration
Rain barrels
Rain barrels are expected to be
installed on every home to
permit the re-use of rainwater for
irrigation and other allowable uses.
Rainwater Stewardship
Creating new wetlands
in the Foothills
Bioswales
Rain gardens
Wetlands
Permeable paving
Several types of permeable paving can
be used that meet the needs of paved
areas for heavy use, but allow rainwater
to infiltrate through and around paved
areas back into the groundwater.

Energy efficiency
Buildings and infrastructure will be
designed to be energy efficient and
harvest renewable energy wherever
feasible.
Housing diversity
The Foothills intends to bring a range of housing types
(lots and homes) to the community to respond to the
needs of many types of residents. This is a preliminary
list of some of the types being contemplated.
Acreages or ranchettes
Townhouses
Multi-family apartments
A strategic approach
Proposed process:
A small Phase 1 subdivision concurrent with a larger neighbourhood re-planning process
Two important needs:
1.
2.
Proposed approach
Benefits
Lantzville secures the park immediately
Lantzville gets a new community reservoir at no
cost ($1.4 million value)
Lantzville can help customize the plan for the
Foothills to provide the best types of homes and
amenities for its future prosperity and quality of life
The Foothills can become financially viable as soon
as possible (cashflow) for longer term stability.
The Foothills can refine the older concept to better
respond to current and future community and
market needs and opportunities.
