In 1988 the property was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act by By-law 88-173. The designation by- law was revised in 2018 by By-law 2019-099 to reflect the severance of the property on which the Belmont House sits from the remainder of the original parcel, which is designated for residential development. A Heritage Permit is required for proposed alterations that may affect the identified heritage attributes of the property. Based upon the Heritage Conservation, prepared by Golder Associates Ltd., dated September 10, 2020 and the supporting information provided in support of the application, the Committee considers the proposed application to be appropriate, subject to the applicant addressing the comments provided by the Heritage Committee during the meeting relating to the restoration of specific architectural attributes, landscaping and fencing details, and concerns relating to the location of the artisan well and mitigation of any impacts thereon. 20.29 Moved by S. Conway, seconded by K. Warren That the Heritage Committee supports Heritage Permit Application File No. HPA2020-004 as presented in the Heritage Conservation Plan prepared by Golder Associated Ltd., dated September 10, 2020 in principle, contingent upon the applicant working with staff to address the Heritage Committee's comments on the application. "Carried" -2- Clarbgton Clarington Heritage Committee Minutes September 15, 2020 20.30 Moved by S. Conway, seconded by K. Warren That the Heritage Committee considers the location of the artesian well to be a major concern as it relates to the interior cellar spring identified as a designated heritage attribute. Specifically, the Heritage Committee recommends (i) the source of the interior cellar spring be identified prior to development of the subject property or the surrounding lands including servicing, to ensure the proposed development does not adversely impact the cellar spring and artesian well, and (ii) the location and installation of any future municipal servicing infrastructure take place on the east side of the property to avoid potential interference with the artesian well. "Carried" 6.2 Fletcher Tree Update: The Notice of Intent to Designate the Fletcher Tree was re -advertised in the newspaper subsequent to the Province lifting the COVID-19 emergency declaration, which had suspended timelines under the Ontario Heritage Act. The designating by-law will be passed subject to the expiry of the objection period if no objections are received. 6.3 1697 Highway 2 Update The CHC Committee recommended the property be added to the Municipal Register. The property owner would like to demolish the house and commemorate the history of the Gay family in an alternate manner. There is currently a park and a street named after Harry Gay. The property owner has proposed to salvage certain architectural elements from the dwelling and contribute $10,000 to establishing a heritage information micro chip program to promote Clarington Heritage. The Joint Committee received report PSD-029-20 and adopted the recommendation that demolition of 1697 Highway, Courtice 2 be granted providing the contributions of Harry Gay and Gay Construction are acknowledged and interpreted in an alternate manner acceptable to the Clarington Heritage Committee and staff. Planning and Development Services staff requested that a sub -committee of the Heritage Committee work with the property owner and staff on the development of an alterative manner of commemoration, including the micro -chip information proposal.
