Potential Designations
26 Concession St. West (Dundurn):
xThe owners have applied to sever two lots from the front of the property. Should the
severances be approved, they have agreed to designate the property in order to help
ensure compatibility of the adjacent infill development. Infill would be guided
according to guidelines that resulted from an earlier Heritage Conservation District
study of the area and would be registered on title of the new lots through land division
agreements. The parameters proposed to restrict the infill development and their
effectiveness in protecting the heritage of Dundurn was discussed by the Committee.

That the Clarington Heritage Committee recommends to Council the designation of 26
Concession Street West under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act acknowledging that
the owners will proceed with land severance applications for two lots, one on either side
of the property frontage and including as severance conditions architectural control of
the new homes in -keeping with the infill guidelines of the Old Bowmanville (North Ward)
Heritage Guidelines and the restrictive covenants requested by the owners.
