City Council Meeting 25 Mar 2013

AGENDA

Affordable Sustainable Homes Idea Company is approaching the City to build not just affordable housing but EXCEPTIONAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING. 

"We wish to present a land use proposal regarding city-owned property on Alder Street,
east of St. Patrick. Specifically, we wish to propose to purchase outright or to lease this
parcel from the city for 99 years for the purpose of creating an appropriate number of
ASH residential buildings. ASH stands for Affordable Sustainable Homes, a unique
small-suite residential concept. ASH buildings contain 12 suites on three floors (four to a
floor), each with a individual 'front door' entrance. The entire building looks more like a
house than an apartment building, while achieving appropriate urban densities."

Lots of questions should asked.  Apparently, they have already been in discussions with the City   Another almost done deal that the Mayor and staff have brought public at the last minute?  Will exceptional end up meaning substandard living space?

The Canadian National Majors Lawn Bowling Championships are requesting $2500 from Council.  Do they receive annual funding and why do they have to come back for more, if so?

The 2014 Canada Street Soccer Cup wants over $11,000 to pay for rental costs from the Rec Commission to hold their event.

There will also be a report on Hydro lines as part of the low level land road project.

2 more RS-1 (family housing) dying for another 2 RT-1 duplexes on the 300 block of 11th St.
