RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - MidTowner - 03-07-2017
There was a hydro disconnect and some other work going on there on Thursday and Friday.
If I recall correctly, once the permits appear in the system (with status 'Open'), they have been issued. So maybe it will happen rather soon.
If these are demolished just to bring the parking lot to the corner, that's kind of a shame.
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - KevinL - 03-07-2017
I'm hopeful that it is to consolidate the lot for a new development. That surface parking can only last so long in such a prime location.

According the Kitchener permit system the properties (26 Moore Ave and 43 Wellington St N) are owned by Perimeter Development Corp, but I can't tell if the demolition permits have actually been issued or are still pending.
Demolition permits applied for (almost two months ago!) but not yet issued.
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - MidTowner - 03-07-2017
Where do you see that it was applied for but not issued? In the 'Online Permits' database, it says 'Open,' which I always thought meant issued.

On the GIS system it shows the application date (late January) and the issue date (empty in this case).
Unless the GIS is out of date ...
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - tomh009 - 03-07-2017
ADDENDUM: in the online permits database, apart from the status, there is a permit number (17-103237 DE) so I believe a permit has actually been issued, in spite of what the GIS says.

RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - rangersfan - 03-07-2017
It's almost funny how many times that document page 2 in particular refers to the applicant wanting to demolish the two residential properties.

i agree its mentioned there a lot but its reiterated a lot is because its a demolition control report to council and kitchener city council has trouble understanding planning processes...ha ha ..Example A & W from a few weeks ago... waste of staff time, and tax payer dollars...
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Viewfromthe42 - 03-08-2017
Supposedly it says the two will be sodded and maintained until redevelopment, but I find it hard to imagine that these won't be used in whole or in part for parking.

That would really open things up to pair with the surface lot for redevelopment. Wishful thinking?

Why demolish now if there are no immediate plans to develop? Wouldn't 2 income properties be a better thing to have compared to an empty, sodded lot?
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - Viewfromthe42 - 03-08-2017
This is why I suspect it is to add parking. Perimeter has so far only done office development in the region. They are also the developers of the Breithaupt block whose parking lot surrounds these two buildings. This would give them more parking. Additionally, the city-taxable rate for an empty lot versus two buildings would be lower. Similar logic lead to the demolishing of the building on the northeast corner of Weber and Columbia.
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - notmyfriends - 03-08-2017
It's better than what Sun Life / Bentall did with it's properties at Erb and Westmount. That area would have been a whole lot better if those were knocked down and turned into a parkette years ago instead of waiting for.... whatever they're waiting for...
RE: General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours - KevinL - 03-08-2017
Those houses along Erb? Yeah, those deserve to be razed and have something higher density go in.
