identified as being of interest are 1698, '1,621, 1620, 1626, and,1586. Additional photographs
of these will be taken and they will be noted on the maps for the Secondary Plan with
appropriate policies to allow for their integration into the Mixed Use area.
Also noted were the homes from the 1920's to the 1940's that form a cluster 1697, 1717, 1719
and 1721. These homes have an overall character that also should be noted and celebrated.

Request Staff to determine what is happening to the heritage buildings in Clarington, are they
being rented out, moved, etc.
