New lots in Whistle Bend are closer to opening up after city council approved the subdivision for the next phase of the new neighbourhood.
Council was unanimous in its support for the subdivision at its meeting Monday night.
The city had previously approved the subdivision. That approval, however, expired in December, before the work to register the subdivision with land titles officials was done.
“To ensure the continued development of Whistle Bend, the Yukon government is requesting that a new subdivision approval be issued for the remaining areas of phase 1 on the west side of Casca Boulevard, Keno Way, Olive May Way and Tarahne Way and the sanitary sewer force main right-of-way,” notes a summer 2012 report to council.
The subdivision will be subject to the city’s 10 per cent Public Use Land Dedication, which sets aside land or cash-in-lieu for public land use
Development Cost Charges will be collected by the Yukon government when the land is sold, then transferred to the city.
The charges for multi-family lots will be collected when the building permit application is made and the exact amount of those will depend on the number and type of units proposed.

What a freaking mess

I have a prediction folks, wanna hear it?
Well your going to anywazz. This disaster they call Whistle Bend…will be more of an EPIC fail than it currently is. Only fools will buy there IMHO, the nobles to deminish their shame of having a 30 egg omelet hanging off their faces…will PEPPER that area with yup…SOCIAL housing!
YG and the CoW will work together adding assets for Yukon Housing corp and probably INVENT a similar corp for the CoW to build more homes that only they will own.
Mark my words folks they will carry on using your money to build their assets to house those folks that cannot seem to find their own rentals/ownership for a myriad of reasons…I will not get into at this time. Remember the absolute and EPIC stupidity in Riverdale with their “Single Mom condos”?
I sure do it was only a few years ago. Anyone that thinks that was a good idea in this day and age of PC inclusion will do damn near anything else even stupider…YES it is possible.
WB is a joke and a stinky joke at that! One mere house there and ALREADY the infrastructure is taxed! Those whom built this mess know what I speak of…those whom service that mess know EXACTLY what I speak of too.
But hey morons are a plenty up here in the government machine.
Want to live in a hood full of welfare starlets and their lil wards to be…then buy there and enjoy. I’ll be very surprised if I’m wrong
