Welcome
Frenly Park is a residential country club planned for development later this year in central Canada. The ideal place to live, work, and raise a family without the stress and pressures of city life.

Legal Structure

If it thrives and grows to a population of 300 people, Frenly Park will be eventually be legally incorporated as a village but in the mean time, it’ll just be structured and operated as a private country club. Memberships will be made available for those wishing to join and live on site.

Village Status

Rather than counting on the Rural Municipality to provide our infrastructure, maintenance, and security, we prefer to manage our own affairs as much as possible. We know that our priorities won’t always align with most of our neighbors and we want to avoid stepping on anyone’s toes. The logical route is therefore to incorporate as a municipality of our own in order to assume responsibility for our own development and expenses while relieving the RM of liability.

Why not just build in an existing city?

Simply put, we need more room to breathe. There’s a lot we want to build and we need room to expand. We don’t believe in imposing our preferences on others and would much rather build from scratch than mess with anyone else’s stuff. If we do a good job, we’ll attract new residents and grow. If we don’t, we’ll fizzle out and disappear without significantly impacting anyone else.

Housing

Rental housing will be developed by the club but members can build their own too, as long as removable foundations like helical piles are used. Members can park RVs and pitch tents on their lots too, if that’s the extent of their desire. As long as other members’ lots aren’t being infringed, restrictions will be minimal.

Unique Policies

As a municipality (village, town, or city), we’ll be able to attract businesses and investors by setting our property tax rate at 0% instead of a more typical 1% (residential) or 2% (commercial). This may not seem like such a big deal to everyone, but for some, it really is. It means not having to make payments in perpetuity to keep a home you supposedly own. We’ll also be more flexible with our zoning, so as to permit the construction and deployment of less conventional residential solutions, such as prefabricated tiny homes. We’ll also establish a police department to provide more dedicated security and law-enforcement services than would otherwise be available from the state.

Apply to Join Us

Anyone interested in joining and claiming square footage is welcome to apply via the contact form below. Introduce yourself and let us know what sort of vision you have in mind. Maybe you see yourself building a little bar, a workshop, or a bed-and-breakfast. Whatever it is, it helps us to know what prospective members are planning so that we can make sure they’re situated in an optimal location on the property. We’ll reply by email and can then set up a live call to get better acquainted.
