Kitchener councillors have given preliminary approval to two housing developments in the city’s Doon neighborhood and pushed a decision on a third to a council meeting next month.
The proposed hike would see the average Kitchener homeowner pay an additional $47 on the city portion of their property tax bill. Staff are also proposing a 6.3 per cent increase to water utility fees, which would work out to an additional $77 for the average household.
