"Carried" 5 Delegations/Presentations: 5.1 Cultural Heritage Documentation and Salvage Report (Goodyear Property 45 Raynes Avenue, Bowmanville)-- Tara Jenkins, Preston Arens at AECOM The Consultants Tara Jenkins and Preston Arens at AECOM gave the presentation to the Committee. T. Jenkins provided background information related to the demolition permit submitted in May 2023, and the progress on the site to date, including an overview of the draft Documentation and Salvage Report that is required prior to demolition. The applicant submitted a demolition application in 2023. The drafted Cultural Heritage Documentation and Salvage Report for the property at 45 Raynes Avenue, Bowmanville, Goodyear, is to fulfill the conditions of the Demolition application in the first phase. The draft report was circulated to the Committee members before the meeting. The history of the property was updated and revised based on the Committee member's comments and other research. The statement of significance of the property was refined based on the research. The site was documented through drone documentation and site visits. The applicant is now proposing to demolish Building 1 (Powerhouse), diverting from the Council -approved plan to retain the building. The draft report indicated that the building has been substantially altered throughout the years. Contamination is a major issue for its adaptive reuse. Protection measures for Building 27 and the smokestack are recommended. A structural assessment is also recommended for the smokestack. The content and steps of the Commemoration Plan were also outlined. The Committee thanked the guests for their presentation. Members asked questions regarding the report. Questions included the possibility of preserving the building fagade across the alleyway of building 27, collecting the World War II plaques, the ownership of the designated building, example concept plans for a pedestrian path, open space, and adaptive use of the smokestack and groundwater table of the property, and what the plan is for the pumphouse (Building 15). The property owner and the consultant clarified a few questions. The project's landscape architects, architects and engineers are being consulted to explore open space design and smokestack adaptive reuses. Intended to achieve the walkability of pathways and visibility of the Creek, the preliminary concept design showed to build a road linking to the creek, park area and parking space. The wall of the building across the alleyway of Building 27 would not be retained in that -2- **Subject to Advisory Committee Approval** ci ftw Clarington Heritage Committee Meeting Minutes ffn May 21, 2024 scenario. Currently, the property owner owns the parcel of Building 27. The owner intends to use Building 27 as a commercial space in the future, serving as a sales office in the interim. The ownership of Building 27 is flexible because it is on its own block. 6 Business Arising 6.1 Cultural Heritage Documentation and Salvage Report (Goodyear Property 45 Raynes Avenue, Bowmanville) The Committee members discussed the report content (the salvage plan and commemoration plan) and the proposal to change the recommendations approved by Council to retain Building 1. The Committee was encouraged by the developer's plan to retain and reuse Building 27 into a functional place. However, the smokestack standing alone will lose its historical context. The Committee is open to the adaptive reuse of Building 1. The World War II plaques are important items to salvage. Committee members noted the community has concerns about fire, safety and pollution caused by the property. 24.23 Moved by J. Dalrymple, seconded by N. Gamble That motion be tabled, the Committee members review materials, provide comments regarding the proposal of not retaining Building 1 and the Cultural Heritage Documentation and Salvage Report, and continue the discussion at the CHC June meeting.
