WATERLOO, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21 ; Council OK‘s Lincoln Zone Change ; May Go to Ontario Municipal Board 3.. Changing â€" Lincoln â€" Road from one which served private residences to a collector road, was a gross misjustice. Charges of "breaking faith with the people" were twice ut tered by members of council in avain attempt ‘to swing support râ€"to forestall a change of zoning that would allow the developâ€" ment to go ahead. 2. It was gross invasion of privacy and rights against those wllo reside on McKay and Alvin. (Ald. Harold Wagner, chairâ€" man. questioned how many of the signature lived within 400 feet of the project, and was told â€" I don‘t know.) Mr. Foote stated that: 1. The proposed development was the wrong kind, in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Following the reading of a letter to council by city planner, Brian Turnbull (which Mr. Foote termed biased and slanted), Mr. Foote outlined objections and brought to the attention of counâ€" cil, a petition signed by some 322 area residents. W. W. Foote, spokesman for those opposed told council, after a discussion arose concerning the limiting of delegates to half an hour was considered by council, that he would require only about 10 minutes. Fred Dreger, representing Shdfc to Shore Developments Lid:. was the first delegate to speak,. and he outlined certain stéps that had already been taken to facilitate the high rise construction in that particular area. He noted that a change to the official plan had already been approved, and requested that the last barrier, the changâ€" ing of the zone from light industâ€" rial to general residence, be undertaken. \ Ald. Joe Doerner advanced a similar feeling of losing {faith with the people. "Our purpose here", he stated, "Is to serve our customers (the taxpavers)". He upheld the feeling that the people of the area had purchased and built their homes there beâ€" cause it was supposed to be a "nice" residential area. DELEGATION: Ald. Vincent Alviano was the first to rise in support of those who opposed the venture, mainâ€" taining that "if this council alâ€" lows this construction, they will be breaking faith with the people of the area‘". With a 5â€"3 vote, council deâ€" cided to give the goâ€"ahead for the highly controversial Shore to Shore Developments Ltd., high rise apartments on Lincoln Road. DR. HOWARD PETCH The new arrangement has a number of advantages for the village. Hiring of school teachers, capital expenditures, efc . beâ€" come the responsibilities of the area board. Bridgeport will no longer have to compete with Kitchener _ for _ teaching â€" staff FEducational opportunities in the local school will be upgraded This includes the teaching of French. already started the past year, instrumental music and the establishment of a school library at a cost of between $9,000 and $10,000 This fall will see the Bridgeâ€" port Public School become fully intfegrated _ into the Kitchener and district area school board It will mean that Bridgeport will become a junior school, acâ€" commodating only classes from kindergarten to grade 6 Pupils of grade 7 and 8 will be transâ€" ported to a Kitchener senior school BRIDGEPORT NEWS He noted that the planning department estimated that 31 school age children would live in the apartments, and that both the separate and public schools have handied substantial inâ€" In regards to the charge that Bridgeport Road would be a oneâ€" way street with Lincoin Road carrying the return traffic. he stated that Erb St. would carry the return traffic but, noted furâ€" ther that Lincoln Road is planâ€" ned as a collector street. Regarding the traffic buildup in this area, Mayor Paleczny noted that such was the case all over Waterloo and everywhere in Canada and America (would you believe the world?) and it would be naive to think that some of us were going to escape from the effects of traffic. "We are your taxpayers, your customers by the investments we have made in our residences in this area, and we would like your support if we have to opâ€" pose this before the OMB." Mayor l‘aleczny replied, using a prepared statement (which was attacked by Ald. Doerner, who wanted to know why other memâ€" bers of council had not received this "privileged" information} â€" Mayor Paleczny said that he had taped it and had it typed by his secretary only this morning (Monâ€" day). He stated that the argument suggesting that the city needs the taxes that would be forthâ€" coming from the high rise, was but the shallowest of arguments. No matter whether this counâ€" cil approves or rejects this zone change. he stated, "one side or the other will carry the question to the Ontario Municipal Board". 5. Would cause an overloadâ€" ing of the Harold Wagner and Lincoln Heights schools, which the area residents had come to rely upon, and that they would be. serving people not yet here, who would impose this unfair load. 6. The city was passing by the opportunity of a lifetime to create an outstanding recreation centre of the Moses Springer Park and the proposed YWCA development. 4. It would result in a rapid deteriof@tion of the residential area. Proposed Bus Service for Students Could Be Improved However. we believe the proâ€" posed transportation plans leave something to be desired. Wilfred Rocdding. Bridgeport represertâ€" ative on the Kitchenerâ€" area school board, tells us that the present intention is to pick up students of grade 7 and 8 at the Bridgeport public school. This will involve a number of students in walking more than a mile one way plus time waiting for buses. Buses which pick up high school students, _ now _ travel _ around streets on the east side of the river. Why should this not be done with pupils of grades T and 8 also? In future when stuâ€" dents pass from grade 6 they will be leaving the school as surely as those who have attainâ€" ed high school entrance. Why should the school be chosen as the pick â€" up point? Most of the new residential building is being done on the east side of the river and it seems only logical that the bus should stop in that area. as police and fire protection, garbage collection and snow reâ€" moval. The tax revenue is good and there are few school childâ€" ren per unit. The average single (Continued on 3) Large apartments are an asset, they are easy to serve as far In comparing the cost of the rented quarters in Waterloo Square, he noted that it cost the city only $39.504 annually. Howâ€" ever, to build would cost about one and a half million doliars which, if debentured over 20 years at 7%, would mean an annual payment of $140,500 Tnot counting janitorial, light and power, maintenance and supplies, taxes and insurance). In his summation he declared: We must consider the project and its financial aspects as it affects the whole community. We have a desperate housing shortâ€" age, especially in apartments and town housing. Every apartment built helps to keep rents down through competition. Our manuâ€" facturers need employces,. and the employees need places to live. Concerning a proposal that the city purchase the land for a civic centre, he stated that it would be a number of years before Waterloo considered build. ing a city hall. 000, while there would be only 31. school aged children. and that they would also pay a unit levy of $47,600 which would benâ€" efit everyone in Waterloo. He noted further, that the developers would be paying an annual t:gx revenue of over $75,â€" On the sdggestion that the city purchase the land for park purâ€" poses, he suggested that "if the people of the area would like to purchase the land in question, and donate it to the city for park purposes, I am sure we would accept." Concerning the charge that values of the homes would be depressed, he further noted that the closest homes on Lircoln Road were threeâ€"tenths of a mile away and further, that most of those who were objecting lived more than half a mile «away (most would not even be able to see the building). creases in the past and would be able to serve these. sUBSCRIPTION $3.00 YEAR
