Ellingham told council the city‘s support behind the project is needed as they continue to negotiate financing with other lending institutions. The nonâ€"profit corporaâ€" tion is made up of represenâ€" tatives from members of the Roman Catholic Church, United Church and Baptist communities of Kitchenerâ€" Waterloo, which already creâ€" ated and opened its first 96â€" unit building in Kitchener last October. Paul Ellingham, of the Bloomingdale Seniors Resiâ€" dence Corp., is the organizaâ€" tion behind building the Canadianâ€"Ontario "Strong Start" affordable housing project, planned to be called Maple Hill Creek. Under the new developâ€" ment charge rates, apartâ€" ment buildings saw a 36.48 per cent development charge rate increase from $4,372 to $5,967 in Waterloo. complete waive of all develâ€" opment fees that was initialâ€" ly requested. Continued from page 1 Council gives builder a break "The average family moving into new affordable housing in Canada stays there for 15 or more years," said Ellingham;, mentioning that the support by multiple levels of government is what ensures the housing‘s affordability. The intention behind the building, Ellingham told council, is to provide stabiliâ€" ty for families. "Whether the developer pays for it or the city, if the city pays for it then the taxâ€" payer pays for it," said Amos, who affirmed the proposal has been passed and approved by the city‘s solicitor, Bill White, who, Amos said, was comfortable with the proposal put forâ€" ward by staff. As well, McLean quesâ€" tioned the city‘s legal entiâ€" tlement to waive developâ€" mentâ€"charge fees altogether. Scott Amos, the interim director of development serâ€" vices, told council the legisâ€" lation under the developâ€" ment charges act does not allow waiving developmentâ€" charge fees. It does, howevâ€" er, permit deferrals. Coun. lan McLean recâ€" ommended that city staff develop a policy that counâ€" cil would use when worthy projects come forward so that they don‘t have to evalâ€" uate each situation on a perâ€" house basis. hearing from Ellingham how the fourâ€"month deferâ€" ral would be insufficient. "I‘m just not sure it‘s the right thing to have there," said d‘Ailly, with the housing project being built just blocks away from the Uniâ€" versity of Waterloo and Wilâ€" frid Laurier University. "I‘m all for the city providing suitable accommodations for all levels of our society." D‘Ailly spoke out against the the building corporaâ€" tion‘s stand not to allow stuâ€" dents to reside in the buildâ€" ing, pointing out that the city cannot enforce such bias through its bylaws, Coun. Jan d‘Ailly was the only councillor to vote against the motion to defer the fees for the housing proâ€" ject. "We did pass heightened density and we are trying to encourage intensification uon our nodes and corriâ€" dors," said McLean. "This is our contribution to affordâ€" able housing." McLean agreed, menâ€" tioning how council has agreed in the past that a mix of housing in Waterloo‘s community is important. Coun. Gary Kieswetter said this was council‘s "chance to do something" when it came to creating more affordable housing in the city; Bloomingdale Seniors Residence Corp. already has several partners in the proâ€" ject to date, including the provincial and federal govâ€" ernments and the Region of Waterloo.
