There was confusion and apprehension around the table at Huntsville\u2019s Planning Committee on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

At its November 20 meeting, committee was being asked to approve the severance of eight townhouse lots from lands off Sabrina Park Drive. The lands were donated by the municipality to Craig Developments Inc. as part of a highly lauded, public-private housing partnership. It was envisioned as a high-density neighbourhood, one which would add a significant mix of at-market and much-needed affordable rental housing to the local market.<\/p>\n

Manager of Planning Services, Kirstin Maxwell, told committee that each of the eight lots would have a minimum area of 164 square metres and six metres of frontage on Sabrina Park Drive. The remainder of the lands would comprise an area of 2.3 hectares and have 440 metres of road frontage.<\/p>\n

But the request did not sit well with committee members. Many seemed uneasy about approving the severance and questioned what protections were in place to safeguard the municipality’s investment if the project fails. Others wondered whether any of the townhouses would be considered affordable, whether public consultations would follow, or whether the eight lots were simply the initial requirement of the developer in order to leverage more development.<\/p>\n

Conspicuously absent from the meeting was the developer as committee and staff struggled to find answers.<\/p>\n

Town of Huntsville CAO Denise Corry pulled up the agreement on her laptop and read some of its contents. “Bottom line is the agreement currently states Phase One will be 70 units and 40 per cent minimum of those units will be affordable. So I believe the application before committee is for eight townhouses, so if that\u2019s considered Phase One, then it hasn\u2019t met the provisions of the original agreement.”<\/p>\n

Corry also said that if there are changes to the development, those changes would have to be communicated by the developer to staff who would then need to take the revised plan back to council for approval.<\/p>\n

While committee heard that there were provisions in the agreement stating that the lands would be transferred back to the municipality if the developer did not comply with the project, it was not clear what recourse the Town would have if part of the lands were already developed.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

Deputy Mayor Karin Terziano also expressed concern with severing the best part of the property. \u201cThey\u2019re doing the first eight units on the already existing street, with probably already existing services, and then if they walk away I know we\u2019re not totally landlocked but now\u2026 the next developer has to put in all the roads and servicing systems,\u201d she said of the backlands.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think Phase One can just consist of eight townhouse units,\u201d added Councillor Nancy Alcock, who said the intent of the project was not to approach it in a piecemeal way. She also said that a lot of pressure had been placed on the developer and discussions should take place to try and move the project forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere wasn\u2019t exactly an avalanche of developers eager to build affordable housing for us as a community. It\u2019s an issue all across the country, and so we\u2019re working with these folks and the realities of trying to finance a project like this has sunk in I think for them,\u201d said Mayor Scott Aitchison.<\/p>\n

He added that the road alone would be costly. \u201cIt would cost them a million dollars to build that road, so you know, where is that money coming from? And so you finance a million dollars to build a road before you\u2019ve done anything to come close to maybe renting a unit out at an affordable rate, that\u2019s just an awful lot of money to carry and so this is one of the reasons why we\u2019re doing this,\u201d he said of providing the land and other municipal incentives to spur more affordable housing.<\/p>\n

Aitchison also noted that if the proposal before committee does not meet that agreement on title, then it should not have been brought before committee in the first place.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think maybe staff need to go back and take a look at what\u2019s in the agreement, what\u2019s been put before us. Does it meet the agreement? If it doesn\u2019t, then it shouldn\u2019t be here,\u201d he said, adding that the applicant should also have been present.<\/p>\n

Councillor Jonathan Wiebe said the committee\u2019s decision should be based on whether the municipality would be compensated if the lands are severed and the intent of the project falters.<\/p>\n

If we were to be compensated then the worst thing that\u2019s happened is that we sold property at market value to someone who built some townhouses, which isn\u2019t the end of the world, but without that we\u2019re giving away taxpayer money. Councillor Jonathan Wiebe<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Aitchison, who seemed to be growing increasingly frustrated with the discussion, said it is not up to committee to figure out a new deal. \u201cI think part of the problem is we don\u2019t know what the deal is now. Is she (applicant) scrambling to get these started before the snow flies? I don\u2019t know. Where is she?\u201d<\/p>\n

Corry apologized to committee for the application before them. “I would like to take ownership of this and say I apologize to committee that this application did come forward. The Mayor is correct, if it didn\u2019t meet the provisions of the agreement we should\u2019ve had those discussions\u2026 I do take responsibility, it should not have come, it does not meet the provisions of the agreement and staff will take it back and we will report back to committee next cycle.”<\/p>\n

Committee deferred the severance application. The last time the project representative, Teresa Oliver, went before council was in August at their General Committee meeting.
