' The Waterloo Chamber of Commerce came up with a new slate of executive committee members follow- . their first board of directors' meeting for mr. ill Pernfuss. Do'erner Products. was elected presi- "dent; Ken Tyers, Waterloo Mutual, first 'vice- president: Paul Center. Tru-Craft Homes. second‘ vice-president: Jack Duffy. DunWoody and Company. treasurer and Bruce Burns. Schendel Stationery, se- cretary. . . " Mr. Schaefer said that a ratio of 60 percent residen- tial assessment to 40 percent industrial and commer- cial is generally considered to be a good balance for a municipality. Waterloo, he added, is "very close to the ideal" with a 61.74 percent residential and 38.26 -percent industrial-commercial assessment. _ Commercial assessment increased 13.9 percent from 349,319,000 to $56,172,000. whereas the residen. tial increase from $88.134,000 to $90,633,000 represent- ed a rise of 2.8 percent. ' Construction of the Conestoga Mall and additions to the Mutual Life Assurance building were the main factors in a "healthy increase" in assessment in the City of Waterloo during 1978. , " . Don Schaefer, the city's treasurer'and commis- ioner of finance. said the biggest portion of the $9.3- iillion increase came from commercial and indus-' ial development. The additional assessment. he said. representsan overall 6.8 percent rise over the 1977 figure. At the same meeting five directors, including Paur, Gerster, John Hatashita. Jim Huras, Jim McGihbon and Jim Reid were re-elected. Newly elected direc- tors include Glen Austin: Bob Manina and Jim Robert- - Waterloo muiiaiaremitiiuic fhMred 153 percent. more to the K-W Federated Appeal during the recent pacesetter campaign than they did during the year 1978. . - The first-ever autumn campaign in the Region pushed the total receipts over the ti-million mark in what fund-raising chairman, Ron Gage, called "an outstanding tribute to the generosity of the com- munity." _ Waterloo Mayor Marjorie Carroll made the announ- cement of the city employees' portion during last Monday's council meeting. If the City of Kitchener approves the boundary hignment along the University Ave. W. extension. aterloo will lose three acres and pick up 16. "egional council recently passed a resolution re- commending the boundary between the two cities fol- low the University Ave. extension west of Hallman Rd. subject to concurrenceby the two municipalities. Waterloo council gave unanimous approval Monday to an administrative committee recommendation to lo- cate the boundary south of University Ave. leaving that thoroughfare entirely in Waterloo. If Kitchener approves this boundary choice, they will gain three acres from Waterloo but will lose 16 acres now situat- ed within their existing city boundary. A recommendation by theCity of Waterloo planning department to delay submitting the controversial Bylaw 78-153 to the Ontario Municipal Board (0MB) received unanimous approval of Waterloo council Monday night. The bylaw, which changes the zoning and imple- IJ,',",',"'.', a new Central Residential District Plan for the 'city, inspired 28 letters of objection according to a planning department report. The report states that objections regarding non-conformity and restriction on development potential should be contested before the OMB because the specific cases are important elements to implement the Central Residential Dis- trict Plan. However. the report recommends delay in submitting the bylaw to the OMB until the planning department has had an opportunity to submit a further report to council reviewing the city's 35-foot building height policy, The report advocates changing the bylaw by rezo.n- ing properties on the east side of Belmont Ave. W. be- tween Allen St, W. and Norman St, from GR2 to GRI. It also suggested removing the GRI classification from 36 Devitt St, and returning the zoning to indus- trial.
