"Ungodly" rent and ; lack of freedom. cited Times -Advocate, May 19, 1982 Page .27 Spruce Villa vacancies concern Zurich council Rental rates and vacancies at the Spruce Villa Apart- ments were discussed at the May meeting of Zurich coun- cil, Thursday. Council met with Bill Tugwell, manager of the Huron County Housing Authority and Ken Flegt, chairman of the county hous- ing committee. Tugwell noted rents were calculated on the basis of a persons monthly income. The income was calculated on ac- tual interest paid on assets • and any pensions the persons may be receiving. The authority charges rents of 2214 percent of monthly in- come and limits . the max- imum rent to$253 per month. Based on a single resident with 'no assets, earning a government pension of 5515.74 per month, the rent would be about 5116. There are addi- tional charges of 53 for hydro and 52 for laundry. . Tugwell noted that if a per- son of couple were paying the maximum rent of 5253, tax rebates on rent and heat ex- penses would lower the rent to. about 5204. Councillor Bob Fisher said it was an "ungodly" rent for the size of the apartments and the people's lack of freedom. Tugwell said the rent was set by government policy. He pointed out that other county facilities have rent ceilings of 5266 and as high as 5317 in Goderich. He noted the federal government calculates 30 per- cent of income is spent on housing and that the authori- INTRAMURAL WINNERS — Girl's basketball winners at Zurich Public School were the team of (back, from left) Tracy Fisher, Michelle Allison and Cheryl Kuepfer; (front,. from left) Kerry Dietz and Dawn McAdams.

Tugwell said the authority does not impose on the resi- dent's freedom. He said a chart of when residents could do their laundry prevented arguments about people wan- ting to use the facilities and ended authority involvement in disputes. He noted it was up to the residents to arrange schedules. Tugwell said there were still seven vacancies in the building because many seniors did not want to come to Zurich. He pointed out a lack of transportation to larger centre and lack of a drug store in the village. Isadore Laporte noted that_ people in Zurich we're spoil- ed as most had never lived in an apartment. Reeve Fred Haberer pointed out that with services offered to people in their homes many seniors are stay- ing in their own homes longer. Tugwell said it was policy for potential residents to sell their homes and that residents' assets were not transferable. Laporte noted a person could be making money by putting 540,000 from a house into the bank and living in a building with assisted rent. Tugwell said he had had rents calculate out to 5700 per month but that the regula- tions make 5253 the cut-off point. Tugwell said there were vacancies across the county and the province in similar housing. Ten units were filled in Exeter by bringing people in from other areas. Tugwell added the authori- ty can now accept applica- tions from disabled persons. He noted the authority has 84 families living in Huron coun- ty housing. Clerk Sharon Baker told council a building permit had been issued to build a single family residence on a proper- ty zoned R-3 for multiple family buildings. She suggested council res- cind the building permit until a rezoning application could be circulated. The notice of change would have to be circulated to residents within 400 feet of the area and they would have 21 days to object.' The lot is located next to the liquor store. Laporte pointed out that one person could complain and the lot would stay vacant for another 100 years. He said the zoning was the worst thing council ever did and that everybody in the village has more say in the matter than council. Fisher pointed out it was the new owners plans to build a foundation for a double -wide trailer and that the deal to purchase would close Monday. Laporte said that if it were up to him, he would advise the person to close the deal Mon- day and dig his foundation Tuesday, since he had been issued a building permit. Fisher added that who ever owned the lot should be con- sulted before any rezoning procedure begins. Leroy Thiel said he would make a motion to repeal the whole zoning bylaw, but that ,if it were not repealed, coun- cil had to work with the chan- nels set up. Haberer suggested the buyer talk to the people in the area and if no one was oppos- ed to the project it would be a safe bet to close the deal and apply for the zoning change. In other business: Council decided to put Zurich on a list of municipalities to be mapped under the Ontario base map- ping program. Ilaberer suggested the village get in line and handle the program when it gets closer to the time for the work to be done. Fisher noted the council was not committing itself to the program and added On- tario tax dollars would be paying for most of it in other areas anyway. A letter from Tuckersmith Township concerning recrea- tion grants was filed. The let- ter noted Zurich users ac- counted for 1.94 percent of the Vanastra pool's 540,000 deficit. (About $776 for Zurich's share.) "We're in the same boat," Fisher said, ''we've got pea; ple using our facilities and not paying. Council passed a resolution to apply for a 5500 program grant for the _ Chamber of 'Commerce summer playground. The council will pay the money this summer and get it back as grant next year.
