The City of Ottawa would ask the courts to make sure a legacy agreement to protect a Kanata golf course is ironclad, according to the city’s legal department.
Kanata North Coun. Jenna Sudds on Friday posted on her website a much-anticipated letter from a city lawyer, confirming the city would stick up for the “40 per cent agreement” protecting green space in the Kanata Lakes area.
The Kanata Golf and Country Club is considered part of that green space but the golf course owner, ClubLink, wants to let developers bulldoze the land for new homes.
ClubLink says the Kanata golf course has seen its expenses grow and number of golfers drop.
The golf company would partner with Minto Communities and Richcraft Homes in the development scheme, but they haven’t filed a development application at city hall.
The golf company announced its controversial intention in December, striking fear into homeowners who paid premiums to live along the golf course. Residents immediately began to mobilize against ClubLink.
