Rural Osgoode-ward zoning carries its own specific requirements, so we confirm what applies to your Greely property rather than assuming a generic rural allowance.
Greely is a rural community in Ottawa's south end, within the Osgoode ward, with generally large residential and estate lots.
The footing plan centres on drainage and on keeping heavy equipment off the septic bed.
On this Greely property we framed a single-storey addition on a new concrete slab. The walls are built in pressure-treated lumber with doubled headers over the wide openings, and the roof joists span from the house to the new outer wall. The photo shows the frame complete, before sheathing and roofing.

The team managed our home addition professionally from the initial planning stage through construction. They answered our questions, respected our property, and delivered a result that exceeded our expectations.
Greely’s rural lots in the Osgoode ward generally leave substantial room relative to rear yard setback rules, which shifts the practical conversation toward well and septic setback distances and rural zoning specifics instead. We confirm what applies to your particular property, since individual rural lots within Osgoode ward still vary in size and in the zoning designation attached to them.
The more relevant site check on most Greely properties, alongside the standard Zoning By-law setback.
Confirmed for your specific property rather than assumed from the general area.
