The Clarington Official Plan sets out the goal of preservation, restoration and utilization of Clarington's heritage resources and the Provincial Policy Statement states that significant built heritage resources and significant cultural heritage landscapes shall be conserved. 1.2 The Ontario Heritage Act was amended in 2005 to provide municipalities with greater control over demolition of heritage resources along with other matters. 1.3 Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act requires the Municipal Clerk to keep a Register of all properties that have been designated by by-law within the Municipality. The 2005 amendment to the Act permits the Register to include properties that have not been designated but that Council believes to be of cultural heritage value or interest. Council is to consult with its heritage committee prior to adding a property to the Register or removing a property from the Register. 1.4 If anon-designated property is listed on the Register the owner of the property cannot demolish or remove a building or structure unless they give Council at least 60 days notice in writing of their intentions. The notice is to include such plans and information as Council may require. The 60 day period allows Council to consider whether a demolition permit should be issued or whether the property should be designated. 1.5 The Municipality's Register currently contains properties that have been designated under the Ontario Heritage Act and non-designated properties which are listed on Attachment 1. 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 The impact of the Highway 407 on the Municipality's heritage resources has been detailed by MTO's consultant, Unterman McPhail Associates in tables entitled Impact Assessment Tables: Identified Heritage Resources. The Impact Assessment Tables were completed as part of the Environmental Assessment for the highway. The Tables indicate that "highway construction activities may potentia-ly affect cultural heritage resources in a number of ways" and that "the effects may include displacement through removal or demolition". The properties subject to this report have been identified in the Tables for "displacement". 2.2 A Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report (CHER) is recommended in those situations where individual structures will be displaced. A Heritage Impact Assessment of the Recommended Highway Design states that further investigation including the completion of CNERs wi-I be required to determine the heritage value of these properties before recommendations for mitigation can be provided. The heritage resources that lie within the transportation corridor that are significant would be considered for relocation, or for documentation and removal. REPORT NO.: PSD-032-11 PAGE 3 2.3 MTO has informed staff that they will not be completing CHER's for Clarington's heritage resources until they are instructed to proceed wfth phase two of the highway project. 3.0 ADDITIONS TO MUNICIPAL REGISTER 3.1 In 2009 the Clarington Heritage Committee (CHC) identfed eight built heritage resources that had been listed for displacement in the Impact Assessment Tables for the Highway 407 Project. They include: • 1909 Bloor Street • 5415 Solina Road • 5681 Acres Road • 5531 Bethesda Road • 5658 Bethesda Road 7500 Highway 35/115 • 4825 Rundle Road • 2064 Taunton Road 3.2 Two of the buildings, 1909 Bloor Street and 5415 Solina Road, are designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act so any proposal to demolish or remove these buildings would be reviewed by Council. 3.3 The remaining six buildings are not designated but are on the inventory list. The CHC determined that placing these six buildings on the Municipal Register of non-designated properties would aid in informing the Ministry of Transportation that these buildings have value to the community and should not be demolished. 3.4 The CHC's comments were provided to Council on July 13~h, 2009 through Planning Services Report PSD-075-09. The report noted that the 407 Project Team is aware of the heritage resources affected by the route and is working towards a resolution for each property. The majority of these properties were at that time in private ownership. It was recommended that as the properties are acquired by MTO that they be added to the Municipal Register. Council felt that this would alleviate any undue additional duress for the private property owners, since the acquisition of their lands by MTO for the highway was already a concern. 3.5 MTO owned two properties that were identified in the Tables for displacement, 5531 Bethesda Road and 5681 Acres Road. Council approved adding them to the Municipal Register as non-designated properties of cultural heritage value or interest through report PSD-090-09. 3.6 MTO have confirmed that a further two properties that have been noted for displacement, 5658 Bethesda Road and 7500 Highway 35/115, have now been acquired. These houses have been identified in the inventory of cultural heritage REPORT NO.: PSD-032-11 PAGE 4 resources as buildings of Primary heritage value. Attachment 2 and 3 indicates the location of the properties and houses in relation to the route of the 407. 7500 Highway 351115 5658 Bethesda Road 4.0 CONCLUSION 4.1 The Heritage Impact Assessment for the 407 Highway states that CHERs will be completed before a recommendation can be made for building relocation. The ideal situation is for the buildings to be kept on site and reused as part of the Highway project. It is acknowledged that this may not be possible. Buildings that have to be removed should be relocated rather than demolished, wherever possible. 4.2 The Ontario Heritage Act requires a property owner to notify Council of their intention to demolish or remove anon-designated property that is on the Municipal Register. MTO have informed Staff that they are not bound by the requirements under the Municipal Register as they are part of the Province. Nevertheless, placing 5658 Bethesda Road and 7500 Highway 351115 on the Register will reaffirm to the Ministry the significance of these built heritage resources. Upon Council's approval, MTO's heritage consultant will be provided with a copy of Council's resolution which can be incorporated into the Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report as support for relocation of the buildings rather than demolition. 4.3 The final two properties on the list of eight that have been identified for displacement in the Impact Assessment Tables , 2064 Taunton Road and 4825 Rundle Road, remain in private ownership at this time. Once they are acquired by MTO a report will be brought forward to Council recommending that these structures be placed on the Municipal Register as non-designated properties of cultural heritage value or interest.
