It seems like this is just waiting to go through another council meeting. The plan was to move the house from its current location to a new one, but to do so they had to temporarily move it to a third location to do additional work. Questions were raised, namely whether it's financially or practically possible to move the house. The heritage value is valid as it's architecturally unique, but also, it's just a house and this is a multi-million dollar condo project of which a single house is really not going to stop. The Record from June 28th ends with something I didn't notice before:
Quote:"Staff hasn't taken a position on (the proposal)," Cotter said. "Our next step is to get a little more information and we'll prepare a staff report" for presentation to council, likely this fall. Anyone who wants to comment on the proposal can contact the planning department at the city, he said.
There is no new information on the City of Waterloo zone change page, but maybe we'll see this come up again now that it's autumn.
