5 Delegations/Presentations:
5.1 Lambert House Relocation Revision:
**Subject to Advisory Committee Approval**
Clarington Heritage Committee Meeting Minutes

- 2 -
V. Santamaura provided an update on the Conservation Management Plan status
for the Lambert house relocation. Due to site conditions and other considerations,
it is proposed to relocate the Lambert house to a southeast location on the hospital
property, facing Prince Street, which differs from the original proposed location
approved by the Council. Heritage and building permits have been applied for; all
architectural, structural and construction drawings have been prepared . Once this
amendment is dealt with, the project will proceed .
The Presentation outlined the challenges of the original proposal and the benefits
of the changing location for the Lambert House relocation . This location is a better
location than the originally proposed Liberty Street location in terms of transition,
access, and gatehouse to the hospital. It simplifies the logistics of the move
(remains within the hospital property). Lakeridge Health is seeking CHC's support
of the revised concept plan and the Conservation Management Plan .
The Committee thanked the presenter and asked a few questions regarding the
potential use of the Lambert House and the building foundation for the structure.
5.2 Donating Community Orono Sign
B. Beckstead, Orono DBIA Co-Chair, provided an overview of the proposal, which
proposes to donate an ‘Orono’ sign purchased by the Orono DBIA to CLMA to be
located on the Orono Library property.
Orono BIA purchased a sign to celebrate the Orono community, and believes
The Orono Library branch location is the perfect site for it. No pictures of the sign
are available at the moment. Proposed to install the signage at the Church Street
frontage in the front yard of the Library. The proposed location was indicated
through an aerial image. The sign looks like the 'Toronto' City Hall sign, and the
idea is to encourage photos and postings on social media. It would need to be
mounted onto a cement pad, with electricity running to the sign for illumination.
The Committee thanked the delegation and asked a few questions regarding the
style, the size, compatibility with the heritage building, public consultation and
other potential locations.
5.3 2774 Concession Road 6 Alteration
Designation of the property was approved by Council in April 2025. The
Designation Bylaw is due to come into effect around July 23, 2025. The proposed
alteration includes removing the existing (converted) 2-car garage and the
attached single-car garage, and adding a mudroom and a two-car garage with a
second-storey living space. This will involve relocation of a portion of the stone
west-facing façade of the existing addition to the base of the new addition. The
stone wall likely came from the original north wall. The proposal also includes
changing the main floor windows with energy-efficient and functional windows that

are similar in pattern to the existing. The Committee thanked the presenter and
asked a few questions
6 Business Arising
6.1 Lambert House Relocation Revision
The Committee discussed the proposal. The relocation of the Lambert House
within the hospital property was approved by Council in October 2024. This is an
amendment to move the Lambert House to a location facing Prince Street, rather
than Liberty Street, but does not change the nature of the relocation proposal. The
changes to the Conservation Management Plan are minor. The Committee
discussion supported the revised relocation of the Lambert house.
25.39 Moved by J. Dalrymple, seconded by R. Sproule
That the Clarington Heritage Committee supports the proposed amendment to
relocate the Lambert House to the new location on the property facing Prince
Street, as demonstrated in the presentation, revised concept plan, and revised
Conservation Management Plan, and considers the proposed amendment to be
minor compared to the original relocation proposal.
