East side of Gull Lake may look a little different in the next couple of years, as plans for a new residential community along with a golf course are in the works.

What is 160 acres of tame pasture and cultivated crop, Lincoln Ranch will include a 100-lot residential community, a 9-hole golf course and walking trails.

Glen Fraser with Riser Developments, said it’s still in its early stages, but is excited to get started.

“In Lacombe County you are required to make a formal submission to council, prior to them even looking at it. This is early days of our rezoning application, but yeah, we are on the road.”

The property is currently zoned as Agricultural, but needs to be rezoned to Recreation, Residential Conservation Cluster and High Density Residential.

“Sometime in November/December we’ll be back to council for our first reading, hopefully go through our series of rezoning and have approval by spring so we can start construction next year.”

An open house is scheduled for October 12 at Lincoln Hall, where the public can learn more about the proposed development.
