Local backlash for proposed 13 story residential building
http://www.570news.com/2018/01/30/local-...-building/
A Waterloo resident living nearby a planned development of two apartment buildings says 13-storeys is too much for the area.
Nadia Mazzarolo says the developer and the city need to consider a couple things when it comes to building two apartment buildings near Erb West and Westhill Drive.
“13 stories would make those buildings the tallest ones in that entire plot of land and right in footsteps of a residential neighborhood.”
She says the buildings would cast shadows on a number of homes nearby.
Another problem, she says is the impact on traffic, something Waterloo city councilor Bob Mavin chimed in on.
He says this will only add traffic to the portion of Ira Needles that’s already pretty busy.
” There’s probably going to be 449 bedrooms in this complex and 400 to 500 vehicles.”
No decisions have been made. Mavin wants to get all parties together to make sure all issues are addressed before it goes to council.
