That the Clerk prepare, send and publish the required notices of intent pursuant to Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and to report back to Council following the prescribed notification period. . . .2 tV �F REPORT NO. : PD-7-83 Page 2 BACKGROUND: On November 2.3, 1983 and December 6, 1983 the Planning Department received copies of requests submitted by the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee to designate two (2) existing single family dwellings as historical sites within the Town of Newcastle. In reviewing the request, staff note that Section 2.11 of the Bowmanville Urban Area Official Plan, entitled "Historic Conservation", provides that Council upon the advice of the C Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee, may designate specific structures or sites as having historical or architectural significance under the Ontario Heritage Act. With respect to the zoning of these two (2) single family dwellings, staff note that both properties are presently zoned "R-General Residential " by Zoning By-law 1587, as amended, of the former Town of Bowmanville. Single family residential dwellings are permitted uses under this zoning classification. The proposed historical designation of these dwellings would not offend the intent of the Zoning By-law. COMMENTS: Since the proposed historical designation for 99 Church Street and 85 High Street, Bowmanville would not offend the intent of the Bowmanville Urban Area Official Plan and the Bowmanville Zoning By-law, staff would have no objection to their designation as heritage properties. . . .3 REPORT NO. : PD-7-83 Page 3 In accordance with the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act, where Council intends to designate a property to be of historic or architectural value, it must provide notice of this intention after consultation with the Local Advisory Committee where such a Committee has been appointed. However, since the subject requests have been initiated by the Local Advisory Committee, Council may, if it deems advisable, proceed to provide notice of intent to designate in accordance with the requirements prescribed by the Ontario Heritage Act. f Therefore, it would be appropriate for Council to approve the requests and to initiate the necessary procedures.
