In 2002, G. Douglas Vallee
Limited was retained by Silvestri Developments of Ancaster as the Civil Engineer
and Land Use Planner for Harvest Glen development in Simcoe. Almost 20 years
later, the last of seven phases were fully serviced and construction of the last few homes completed.
The project faced
challenges with obtaining draft plan approval and zoning amendments and
changing municipal and approval standards and requirements over the life of the
project. An existing municipal drain had
to be incorporated into the servicing design. The stormwater pond was designed
as an integral part of the park dedication and was considered to be the
flagship and design standard for development in Norfolk County. This project was one of the largest
subdivisions in Norfolk County, wrapping around Holy Trinity Catholic High
School.
The development incorporates single-family
dwellings, street and group townhouses, and a variety of housing styles. Harvest Glen is home to high-end, luxury
homes and serves as a major source of development and growth in the southern
part of Simcoe.
