Clarington Heritage Committee Meeting Minutes
May 20, 2025
J. Hone from Wilcox Architects Inc provided the overview of the proposal for the
Newcastle Town Hall AC project, including the size, the appearance, the location,
and installation of the AC unit. The proposed AC project is expected to have
minimal impact on the heritage attributes of the Newcastle Town Hall building. The
Committee member recommended the black iron fencing for the AC outside units
at the parking lot. It would be sympathetic to the aesthetics of the building and the
downtown area of Newcastle. Staff will check with the design guidelines for the
parking lot.

Camp 30 - Cafeteria Building Draft Heritage Impact Assessment
The Stantec team presented the draft heritage impact assessment for Camp 30
Cafeteria building, undertaken in accordance with Council's October 28, 2024,
resolution to consider alternative options to full restoration. Five conservation
alternatives were identified. Impacts and mitigation measures were listed. The Jury
Land Foundation will be presented with the HIA on May 28. Council will be
presented on June 16. The Committee member raised concern about a short
period for reviewing the report. Staff updated the status of the previous heritage
permit for the Cafeteria Building (to remove the chimney for storage). The previous
restoration plan was no longer pursued. Committee members asked questions
about tree preservation and the associated costs of the options.
