THAT Report PD-135-94 be received; 2 . THAT the request of the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee to designate as Historical Structures, these properties listed on Attachment Nos. 1 through 5 hereto, be approved; 3 . THAT the Clerk prepare, the required notices of intent pursuant to the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act and report back to Council following the prescribed notification period; and 4 . THAT the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee be advised of Council's decision. 1. BACKGROUND 1. 1 The Planning Department has received copies of requests submitted to the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (L.A. C.A.C. ) to designate a total of five (5) properties as having historic and/or architectural value or interest. The subject properties are described on Attachment Nos. 1 through 5 hereto, and are listed below: ® 6537 Werry Road, Part Lot 26, Concession 6, Darlington ® 110 Wellington Street, Bowmanville ® 59 Ontario Street, Bowmanville ® 210 King Street West, Newcastle Village ® 4672 Highway No. 2 , Part Lot 5, Concession 1, Clarke All five (5) properties have been identified in the former Town of Newcastle's L.A.C.A.C. inventory as being structures of "primary" or "secondary" heritage value. Th i nventory numbers are H045, I. RECYCLED RECYCLE REPORT NO. : PD-135-94 PAGE 2 H486, H265, H455, and H485 respectively. Number 59 Ontario Street has been listed as a "secondary" structure while the remaining four are counted as "primary" . 1. 2 The Ontario Heritage Act empowers a municipality to pass a by-law designating a property to be of historic and/or architectural value or interest. The Act stipulates that the owner of property so designated can not alter the property where such alteration is likely to affect the reason for the designation, without the written consent of Council. Council is required to consider any application for alteration of a designated property in consultation with the L.A.C.A.C. 1. 3 The Chairperson of the L.A.C.A.C. has advised that the five (5) designation requests have been made in response to requests submitted by the respective property owners. The L.A.C.A.C. has provided the property owners with relevant information related to the designation of their properties, including the restrictions placed on their properties as a result of designation. 2 . COMMENTS 2 . 1 Staff have reviewed the five (5) properties indicated on Attachment Nos. 1 through 5, in terms of their Official Plan and Zoning By-law designations. In addition, external visual inspections of the properties were conducted. Staff would note that all properties conform with the Zoning By-law and the Official Plan with the exception of 210 King Street West. It would appear that this structure sits with the floodplain of Foster Creek. The lot is zoned "Urban Residential Type One (R1) 11 , "Holding Urban Residential Type One (H)R111 and "Environmental Protection (EP) 11 . The house itself falls within the Environmental Protection zone. The former Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63 , as amended, does not allow the construction of any buildings or structures within the EP boundary. But as the structure predates By-law 84-63 (September 10, 1984) , as well as By-law 79-44 for the former Village of Newcastle (May 23 , 1979) , it is considered to be a legal 533 REPORT NO. : PD-135-94 PAGE 3 non-conforming use. As such, Staff would have no objection to its designation. In evaluating all properties Staff would have no objection to the designation of all five (5) structures pursuant to the Ontario Heritage Act as being of significance to the Municipality of Clarington for their historical and/or architectural value. 2 . 2 It is therefore recommended that the Clerk prepare, send and publish the required notices of intent pursuant to Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and report back to Council following the prescribed notification period.
