Background Page 4 2.1 On February 28, 2025, Planning Staff received a Consent Application and Minor Variance Application from the agent of 18 Rose Crescent, Newtonville. The proposed application is to facilitate the creation of a new rural resident lot. The intention of the applicant/owner is to sell the proposed severed parcel (see Figure 2). 2.2 This application is in conjunction with Minor Variance Applications A2025-001 0 and A2025-001 1. The Minor Variance Applications propose to reduce the minimum lot area from 4000 square meters to 2448.5 square meters on the severed lot and to reduce minimum lot area from 4000 square meters to 2447.3 square meters on the retained lot. 2.3 At the Committee of Adjustment Meeting on April 24, 2025, both the above noted minor variance applications and this consent application were tabled for a period of up to one year at the request of Durham Region Health and Durham Region Community Growth and Economic Development Department to conduct a peer review of the Hydrogeological study. This peer review is still underway. As such, staff are recommending this application be re -tabled for a period of up to one year to allow for the peer review to be completed. 2.4 The subject property as it is today, contains an existing accessory building, but no principal dwelling. The proposal intends to retain this accessory building on the newly created retained lot. However, Zoning By-law 84-63 does not permit accessory buildings on lots that do not contain a principal dwelling. Furthermore, accessory buildings/structures are accessory to a principal residential use and are not permitted by the Zoning By-law to be on a rural residential property unless a dwelling existed on the subject property. As a condition of the consent application, the applicant/owner will be required to demonstrate legal non- conforming of the existing accessory building was in existence prior to the passing of the former zoning by-law, Clarke By-law 1592, on May 28,1968 in order to retain the existing accessory building on the lot without a dwelling. 2.5 During a site visit conducted by Staff on April 10, 2025, it was observed that a shipping container was being stored at the rear of the accessory building on the subject property. According to Section 3.1.h) of Zoning By-law 84-63, shipping containers are not permitted to be used as accessory structures or stored on properties within the Municipality of Clarington. The owner confirmed the shipping container was removed in August 2025. Municipality of Clarington Committee of Adjustment B-2025-0011 Page 5 2.6 The applicant has shared email correspondence with staff regarding the timeline of the Hydrogeological Study peer review. The applicant also met with Staff on April 8, 2026 to provide an update and has actively been working with staff to prove legal non -conforming status of the accessory structure.

Concerns were related to the lot sizes and the impact on their property. 6. Staff recommends that consent applications B2025 -0012 -to -B2025-0013 be approved subject to the conditions noted in the staff report. Discussion: D LeBlanc spoke in opposition to both consent applications. D LeBlanc shared concerns regarding the proposed parceling of two properties adjacent to their home. The resident noted that the area in question encompasses the backyard of the neighboring property and runs alongside their own home. They stated that, based on grandfathered zoning rights —particularly relating to 5 Lynwood Avenue —no additional housing was permitted to be developed on the subject property. This restriction was reportedly due to existing sewer infrastructure along the property's frontage on Lynwood Avenue. D Eastman asked a question to Staff — Based on D Hickey's comments, can Staff comment on the sewers that run along Lynwood Avenue, and clarify if there is holding on the zoning on the subject property? J Circo responded — Yes, water and sanitary servicing is available off the portion of the property having frontage along Westmore Street to service the proposed retained and severed parcels. Furthermore, there is no holding symbol on the zoning of the property. Our Development Engineering Division has no concerns with regards to the proposed consent applications from an infrastructure/servicing standpoint.

Eastman asked Member of the Public: Your side yard looks into? D. LeBlanc: Side yard looks into backyard of 5 Lynwood. D.

Eastman to Staff: What is the backyard of the property now will be the side yard for the member of the public once these homes are built. It will be side yard to side yard? A. Johnston: The Site Plan attached in the Staff Report shows where the existing backyard is, is essentially where the two new lots will be located. The interior side yards are in alignment with the member of the publics interior side yard. D. Eastman: A number of comments are outstanding.

There is a condition in the Staff Report for the land division application in regards to Health's comments. The circulation email noted that if there are no comments received, it will be interpreted as there are no concerns. D. Eastman: It might be more appropriate under comments, if there are ones outstanding and Staff are sure there are no concerns, to list them as no concerns. There are multiple outstanding comments and it is a red flag. A. Johnston: We interpret that as no concerns. D. Eastman: Should it not be marked as no concerns? Chair asked S. Parish to comment. S. Parish: Moving forward in future reports, Staff can note it as no concerns D. Eastman: Thank you.

Municipality of Clarington Committee of Adjustment B-2025-0030 Page 6 2.7 Accessory structures cannot exist as stand-alone structures; they must be accessory to a primary dwelling. Therefore, should the Committee deem it appropriate to approve the application, it is a condition of approval that the owner meet all Ontario Building Code requirements to register the coach house as a primary dwelling. 2.8 As the property is on Clarington's Heritage Registry a Heritage Impact Assessment (H IA) was conducted. The conditions within the Municipality's Community Planning — Heritage comments must be met. This includes the owner working with the Community Planning Heritage Planner and Clarington's Heritage Committee to designate the coach house under section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. 2.9 At the Clarington Heritage Committee meeting on April 21, 2026, the Committee will be considering the designation of the coach house as well as the overall development proposal before it this evening. Accordingly, as a condition of approval, the property owner shall be required to obtain a motion from the Clarington Heritage Committee confirming that the Committee's requirements have been met as outlined in the conditions. .I BURK COURT • ..� ,, — m•..•,— _ .� PART OF LOT 11. — CONCESSION 2 ° PART I MuNiaaiUiiv aF aAR1+ca+ s d PART 2 a_ 9.. 3 LOT y � sAIR1[YUYB m11FICAE CONCESSION 2 >< 1 .. •,.�.•�, _ �, ;�sorm ns1 CONCESSION STREET WEST IBW Figure 2 — Draft 40R reference plan showing proposed consent application lot fabric.

Bowmanville Applicant: Bob Martindale File: B2025-0030; A2025-0049 Proposal Consent and minor variance applications to facilitate the creation of 3 new residential lots as proposed as Part 1, Part 3, and Part 4 (Severed Lots) on the Draft Reference Plan. Part 1 will have a lot frontage of 15.5 metres, with an approximate depth of 30.82 metres, and a lot area of approximate 445 square metres. Parts 3 and 4 will have lot frontages of 15 metres, have approximate depths of 30.7 metres, and a lot area of 457 square metres.

Heritage Planning Comments The subject property is identified as having potential cultural heritage value or interest and is listed on the Municipal Heritage Register under section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act. A pre -consultation meeting for the proposal was held in 2022, during which the cultural heritage value of the property —including the main house, coach house, and the designation of the retained lands (PC2022-007)—was discussed. A Heritage Impact Assessment is required in support of the proposed application to evaluate the cultural heritage value or interest of the property for designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, and to assess the potential impacts of the proposed development. A copy of Clarington's HIA Terms of Reference is attached. The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington, 40 Temperance Street, Bowmanville, ON L1 C 3A6 1-800-563-1195 i Local: 905-623-3379 i info@clarington.net I www.clarington.net Clarington MEMO Properties on the Municipal Register and Cultural Heritage Resources List are subject to the cultural heritage policies of the Clarington Official Plan, which requires buildings in existing built-up areas to be compatible and consistent with the surrounding buildings and streetscape in terms of building materials, height, width, scale, colour, setbacks, and design, including doors, windows and rooflines. The property was included in the Heritage Conservation District Background Study in 2005. This Study resulted in the Old Bowmanville (North Ward) Heritage Guidelines, which provide guidance to properties in the study area when considering plans for construction and/or alteration of buildings, structures, and landscaping. The Guidelines state the relationship between the existing building and its presence on the street should not be altered. Regardless of the size of the lot or the extent of the front yard, severances should not be permitted where they have the effect of permitting a new house to be placed in front of an existing house. Construction of buildings or structures on newly created lots or vacant lots will be required to have regard for the character of adjoining properties and the streetscape. Each new structure should be built in a manner that avoids replication of a single style or building material throughout the neighbourhood. It is requested that building permit applications for the proposed severed lot(s) be reviewed by the Municipality for architectural and urban design compliance in accordance with the Old Bowmanville (North Ward) Heritage Guidelines (April 2006). This condition is intended to maintain and enhance views to and from the heritage home at 62 Concession Street West and to preserve the character of the surrounding neighbourhood. Existing vegetation should be retained and protected to the extent possible. To this end, a Tree Preservation and Protection Plan is requested. Landscaping and fencing on severed lot(s) shall be consistent with the Old Bowmanville (North Ward) Heritage Guidelines (April 2006). Appropriate clauses and/or conditions must be included in the consent agreement to address the requirements as noted. cc.

Bowmanville; 2 Submission Applicant: Bob Martindale File: B2025-0030; A2025-0049 In addition to my previous correspondence of January 29, 2026, which continues to apply, I have now reviewed the recently submitted Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA), dated September 2022, prepared by Martindale Planning Services, submitted in support of the subject applications. The following additional heritage planning comments are provided: The proposed applications and supporting HIA will be circulated to the Clarington Heritage Committee for consideration and comment. Any comments provided by the Committee will be shared after its next meeting on April 21, 2026. The HIA identifies the property as 'the best designed High Victorian house in Bowmanville and together with the grounds and exceptional fine coach house, it is also the best preserved'. The HIA demonstrates the property has sufficient cultural heritage value or interest (CHVI) to meet design, historical, and contextual criteria under Ontario Regulation 9/06, and as such, the HIA recommends the property warrants designation under s. 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act OHA). Section 3.0 (Statement of Significance) outlines the significance of the property, which includes the carriage house (also referred to as the coach house) as a contributing attribute. However, Section 6.0 (Impact of Development on Heritage Attributes) does not address the carriage house. Section 6.0 of the HIA should be revised to address impacts of the proposed severance of the carriage house on the CHVI of the property. The HIA should be revised to make recommendations as to how the Statement of Significance and subsequent designation by-law(s) should apply to and address the retained property and the proposed carriage house property, should the proposed severance be approved. The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington, 40 Temperance Street, Bowmanville, ON L1 C 3A6 1-800-563-1195 i Local: 905-623-3379 i info@clarington.net I www.clarington.net Clarington MEMO Section 8.0 (Conservation Strategy) of the HIA notes `since it satisfies all of the criteria for designation outlined in Ontario Regulation 9/06, it certainly merits designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act'. Staff agrees with the Section 8.0 statement that 'it is imperative that the design of new buildings be in keeping with the design of not only the existing heritage house but others along Concession Street'. In accordance with the HIA Terms of Reference, the HIA should provide clear recommendations for the appropriate course of action for the subject property and the established cultural heritage resource. Staff supports designation of the subject property under Part IV, section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, including the severed and retained lands, as a condition of approval of the proposed consent application. It is requested that the Consent Agreement include the following cultural heritage conditions: That the subject property be designated under Part IV, section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. That the applicant continues to work with Planning and Infrastructure Services Department to revise the Heritage Impact Assessment, as required, and to finalize the statement of significance and contributing attributes, in consultation with the Clarington Heritage Committee, prior to proceeding with a report to Council recommending designation. That prior to the issuance of any building permits for development on either the severed or retained lands, the siting, architecture, and design of all infill development shall be reviewed for compliance with the Old Bowmanville (North Ward) Heritage Guidelines to the satisfaction of the Planning and Infrastructure Services Department, in consultation with the Clarington Heritage Committee, to ensure that the proposed development does not adversely impact the heritage character of the property. That landscaping and fencing on severed lot(s) shall be consistent with the Old Bowmanville (North Ward) Heritage Guidelines (April 2006). Copied: Lisa Backus, Manager of Community Planning The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington, 40 Temperance Street, Bowmanville, ON L1 C 3A6 1-800-563-1195 i Local: 905-623-3379 i info@clarington.net I www.clarington.net CH IA — 62 Concession St. Executive Summary 62 Concession Street is a large property located on the northern boundary of the Old Bowmanville neighbourhood, dominated by the historic McArthur House. This report documents the historical and architectural significance of the property and examines the likely impact on the heritage attributes of the property of creating three new lots (at the northwest corner, the southwest corner, and the southeast corner). Our findings resulted in the conclusion that (a) 62 Concession Street should be designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage significance, as it meets the criteria for designation listed in Ontario Regulation 9/06; and (b) the proposed severances will have no adverse impact on the McArthur House or the surrounding lots in the area, because the vista of the heritage house from Concession Street will not change. The retained lot will maintain an ample frontage, with no mature trees or vegetation in front of the structure being lost due to the severances. Following careful review of the heritage implications of the severances, we are of the opinion that there are no mitigation strategies or follow-up plans required for the subject property because there are no alterations planned to the exterior of the house nor to the extensive landscaping in front of the house.

Martindale Planning Services was retained to prepare this report, required by the Municipality of Clarington, in late 2021 and the research was undertaken during the spring and summer of 2022. The methodology included site inspections, reviewing municipal and archival records as noted in the Sources Consulted, and interviewing the owner and building consultants associated with the property, as well as members of the Clarington Branch of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario. The property to which this cultural assessment applies is municipally known as 62 Concession St., Bowmanville and is legally described as part of Lot 11, Concession 2, formerly in the Township of Darlington and now in the Municipality of Clarington. (A location plan in the form of a site map and aerial photograph is attached as Figure 1). The subject property has a frontage of 55.1 m on Concession St. with flankages of 67.1 m on High St. to the west and Burk Ct. to the east. It is generally flat with mature coniferous trees along the easterly, northerly and westerly lot lines. Dominating the property is the McArthur House, built c. 1882 and generally regarded as the best -designed High Victorian home in Bowmanville. It faces Concession St. and has access from both Concession St. in the form of a U-shaped driveway, and High St. on the west. The High St. entrance also provides access to a secondary residence (also known as the coach house) on the property, located behind the main house. The McArthur House is described in detail in the book entitled Bowmanville: An Architectural & Social History 1794 —1999 written by Diana Grandfield, as follows: Francis McArthur was the manager of the Upper Canada Furniture Co. in 1879 when he built this handsome house on a property he had recently purchased. The sophisticated plan bears a striking resemblance to the best of the High Victorian houses designed by Smith and Gemmel of Toronto, who may well have been the architects. The irregular facade is accentuated with many elaborate details. Most outstanding are the polychromatic brickwork, the extensive use of gingerbread, the ornately decorated verandah, and the tall wrought iron finials at the gable peaks. This is the best designed High Victorian house in Bowmanville and, together with the grounds and exceptionally fine coach house, the best preserved. Of Scottish descent and considerable wealth, McArthur, before taking over the management of the furniture company had owned a thriving dry goods business. The company buildings located on Lord Elgin Street were just north of where the CPR tracks are today. Early pictures show three large buildings, a three -storey factory building, a two -storey varnishing shop, and a two -storey warehouse as well as a myriad of outbuildings. During the late eighties the business ran into Martindale Planning Services September, 2022 CHIA — 62 Concession St. financial trouble, and in 1880 the factory closed. The loss of so many jobs was a severe blow to the economy of the town. When St. Paul's Presbyterian Church was under construction in 1871, McArthur was the treasurer. He was Mayor in 1875 and again from 1880 to 1883. After the failure of his business, he moved to Toronto where he died in 1915. The factory on Elgin Street burned down in 1892. The subject property is not designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, but is included in the Municipal Register of Cultural Heritage Resources. The location map/aerial photo (Figure 1), which outlines the primary residence and the coach house behind it, includes a number of surrounding heritage properties that are graded according to their architectural significance. 62 Concession Street is one of many properties in Clarington that are not designated but have been recognized by the municipality as having cultural heritage value. The following section, entitled "Background Research and Analysis," describes in detail the heritage context, provides a list of owners and their importance to the local community and thoroughly documents all heritage resources within the subject property, including cultural heritage landscapes, structures, building elements and materials, architectural features and heritage attributes. It is followed by a Statement of Significance identifying the cultural heritage value of the property in accordance with Regulation 9/06 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The Statement of Significance is followed by sections assessing the existing condition of the two buildings on the site, a description of the proposed severances of three lots which necessitated the preparation of this report, an evaluation of the impact of development on the heritage attributes, a description of considered alternatives and mitigation strategies and a conservation strategy to guide the future management of the property. Special thanks are extended to Jane Clark and Jacquie Villeneuve who provided the Background Research and Analysis and Statement of Significance sections of this report, and David Veenstra, who provided the Building Condition section. Martindale Planning Services September, 2022 4 CH IA — 62 Concession St. 2.0 Background Research and Analysis 2.1 Planning Context The property is located in a residential area that was part of the former North Ward, and now falls within Ward 2. The property is bounded on three sides by local roads. This area, a few blocks north of the historic downtown, is itself rich with architectural history. This is indicated by the fact there are at least eight Part IV -designated properties in the immediate vicinity, including two on the same street as McArthur House (14 and 26 Concession St West). As shown on the maps below, 62 Concession St West is a property included on the Municipal Register in 2019 by Clarington Council as having cultural heritage value. The property is in good company, heritage -wise, as the northern boundary of Clarington's Beech Avenue Heritage Conservation District (HCD), which comprises fourteen properties, is directly across the street (the area is outlined in black in the Heritage Conservation District boundary map). One of the HCD properties, 40 Beech Ave., the former gatehouse for the Rathskamory Estate at #26 Beech, is also directly opposite McArthur House across Concession Street. The gatehouse is almost certainly the only remaining structure of its kind and former function in Bowmanville. -AWARD Belden Atlas, 1878. Subject property indicated by red arrow ("W.K.

Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 7 CH IA — 62 Concession St. In the 2003 Unterman-McPhail report investigating a possible HCD for the area, the "block inventory" describes this section of Concession Street, from Beech Ave/Burk Court west to Elgin, as follows: Road alignment is straight with boulevards and sidewalks on both sides of the street. The block is intersected by High Street on the north side; no cross streets on the south side. Five detached residences front on the north side. One large estate, No. 62, occupies the block between Burke [sic] Court and High Street. There are four detached residences on the south side; the corner lots front on the side streets. Building heights range from 1 to 2 %2 storeys; setbacks and lot sizes vary. Construction Period: 1850-1899: four; 1900-1945: three. Of these, six are brick and one is frame (No. 74). Notable Landscape Features: Recent streetscape work includes traffic calming measures and planting of trees on boulevards; mature trees in front yards; extensive grounds at No. 62 with gravel circular drive. Landmark Properties/Features: No. 62 ('McArthur House') and No. 74 (Avoca Cottage). Historical Associations (if known): Rathskamory Estate (1855); Fire Insurance Plan (1911). Recognized (Designated/Listed) Properties: Primary: Nos. 62 ("McArthur House") and 74 ("Avoca Cottage"). Secondary: 65. Heritage Merit: Nos. 59, 63, 69 and 82. The house is centrally situated on its large lot (.91 acres), on a slight rise, and is now partly obscured from the surrounding roads by extensive hedges, trees, and shrubs, especially from the east and west streets (High St. and Burk Court), which lead to newer suburban developments. 2.2 Chronological History of Site The Clarington area and Bowmanville itself are situated within the traditional and treaty territory of the Mississaugas and Chippewa of the Anishinaabeg, known today as the Williams Treaty First Nations. Originally known as Darlington Mills, the Town of Bowmanville—named after Charles Bowman, a businessman based in Montreal who never actually resided in the town that bore his name —was created in 1858. The town was incorporated into the Town of Newcastle as part of the creation of Durham Region in 1974, and was renamed the Municipality of Clarington in 1994. The first settlers are understood to have been three United Empire Loyalist (UEL) families, the Conants, Trulls, and Burks, who arrived in 1794 and quickly established the first mills, which led to the town's rapid growth. Bowmanville was once an important industrial centre, and the Dominion Organ and Piano Company was one of the largest employers, along with the Upper Canada Furniture Company, the mills, including the Cream of Barley mill, and the harbour that made them possible. The furniture company and the piano company and their respective fates feature in the stories of at least two of the 62 Concession St. property owners. The furniture company was located just a short block away, on what was then called Lord Elgin St, near the present-day CPR tracks. In 1901, the success of the piano company attracted Christian Rehder (who later lived nearby at 5 Beech Ave.) and his partner Harry Linton to the area to open Bowmanville Foundry, which made metal parts for the pianos. Another, later major employer was the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 8 CH IA — 62 Concession St. The arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1912 was also a boon to the community, although the route, which passes a short distance north of Concession Street and the subject property, necessitated the demolition or relocation of a number of homes. The planned extension of the Metrolinx Lakeshore line may once again bring a passenger rail station to the Scugog— Wellington—Concession Street neighbourhood. As described in Diana Grandfield's Bowmanville: An Architectural and Social History 1794-1999, the area that now includes 62 Concession Street West was first developed as part of the Rathskamory Estate. The 2006 Beech Avenue Heritage Conservation District Plan, pp 3-4, paints a picture of how the area developed: Rathskamory was a ten -acre parcel extending from Concession Street West to the north, Centre Street to the east, Lowe Street to the south, and Horsey and Lowe to the west...The Concession and Lowe Street entrance both supported gate houses, one of which still remains at the northwest corner of Concession Street West and Beech Avenue at 40 Beech Avenue. A Regency villa was built on the Rathskamory estate in 1843 for George Humphrey Low... As [the Lows] did not have children to inherit the property, it was sold to James William McLaughlin. James was the brother of Robert McLaughlin who founded the McLaughlin Motor Car Co. which later became General Motors of Canada. James McLaughlin was also a doctor, and it was he who initiated the development of Beech Avenue. Shortly after acquiring the property he sold the part of Block 35 which covered the east side of Beech Avenue extending eastward to Centre Street. John McClung purchased the Block and created twenty lots, ten on the east side of Beech Avenue and ten on the west side of Centre Street. The date...was sometime between...1873 and the construction of the first house on Beech Avenue in 1878, 27 Beech Avenue, which was named Drumralla, meaning at the crest of the hill, one of two buildings on the street that are designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. Drumralla was built for William F. Allen who was the mayor of Bowmanville from 1890 to 1892. The severances of the west side of Beech Avenue began in 1886 when Dr. McLaughlin sold the property at 8 Beech Avenue to Dr. Solomon Hillier. Dr. Hillier built a house that he named Ravenscraig at some point between 1886 and 1889. The Rathskamory gatehouse at 40 Beech Avenue was severed from the estate in the late 1870s. The two lots between Rathskamory and the gatehouse were developed in the early 1900s. Prior to the construction of McArthur House, the land at 62 Concession Street was owned by the Burk family from 1869 to 1882, who likely used it as farmland (see 1878 Belden Atlas), and who do not appear to have built on it. The house and coach house are original to the property, built by the McArthurs, but the street to the east, Burk Court, was added later. It is possible that the two lots to the rear (north) of the house may have also been a part of the original property. There have been some interior updates to the house (kitchen, bathrooms, heating system, etc.); however, it appears the original plans of the house and coach house are unaltered. Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 CH IA — 62 Concession St. 2.3 Description of Site Owners March 28, 1812: Crown to Samuel Gardner Crown land is granted. While no records pertaining to Samuel Gardner in direct association with Bowmanville have been found, there is a record of a Captain Samuel Gardner being installed in 1795 as an Officer and charter member of the Freemasons Lodge #2 under Provincial Grand Master William Jarvis. (The lodge met in Queenston, Ontario, in the Niagara area. Laura Secord's husband, James, was also a member of this lodge.) Gardner is initially listed as "R.W. [Right Worshipful] Samuel Gardner, J.G.W. [Junior Grand Warden]," and later that year as "Worshipful Master" (the senior officer of the lodge). Records show that some of Gardner's fellow lodge members were officers in the infamous (Colonel John) Butler's Rangers, a United Empire Loyalist (UEL) provincial military unit of the American Revolutionary War. As many UEL soldiers and officers were later provided with grants of Crown land in recognition of their service on England's behalf in both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, it is possible that Captain Gardner received an 1812 grant for that reason in Bowmanville. More research is required to confirm this, however. t1sTOSY OI tb$L.I....wNY IX CANADA. _,63 L..t►r.n Prdeltr.l to m..1 is t1., latter In Ike •Psr.ry puratat.o c.rd.tt.w -1 the <nunit, as that dote the le► icoy m.g-ttt k coo.derr4 the tam.

From The History of Freemasonry in Canada (Google Books.ca) Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 10 CHIA — 62 Concession St. March 16, 1813: Effelina Freeman sells the property to Allan McLean Effelina Freeman was born around 1790 (once source claims May 1, 1790, but there is some conflicting information with that of her brother, John Freeman, who is documented as being born the same year). She was the daughter of Thomas J. Freeman and Elizabeth Granzer. It is likely that her parents were from New York state, and later settled in Canada with their estimated nine children. Little is known about Effelina Freeman directly, although her name appears to be an homage to her paternal grandmother, Efellanah Freeman (maiden name unknown). Although there is no record of Effelina purchasing the property, only the date of sale, it is assumed that this was land only, without a dwelling upon it. Allan McLean: Although no definitive information could be located about an Allan McLean having ties to Bowmanville, there was a politician and lawyer by the same name, the Honourable Allan McLean (1752-1847), who was born in Argyll, Scotland, and settled in Kingston, Ontario. He was the first lawyer in 1794 to be authorized to practise in Kingston. McLean was registrar for Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, Prince Edward, and Hastings Counties. As a barrister, he was supposedly granted 1200 acres of land, and it is possible this parcel and the land upon which 62 Concession St W currently stands are one and the same. There are two possible references to someone of this name in The Townships of Darlington and Clarke (1927), where it notes "Alan [sic] McLean of Kingston donated money to the English Church," and more intriguingly due to the notoriety of the buyer: "Benj. Lett bought Lot 27, Concession 7, April 18, 1834 from A. McLean." Benjamin Lett (1813-1858) was a disciple of William Lyon Mackenzie and was involved in the unrest of 1837. His family moved to Darlington Township from Ireland in 1833. Lett was accused of a long list of bombings and even murder. Feb 21, 1829: Allan McLean sells to William Preston William Preston (1792-1842) was born in Cambridge, New York, to Benjamin Preston and Dorcas Brown. As the youngest of four children, William was raised by his father, as his mother Dorcas died at the age of 27, when William was only one year old. William Preston married Barbara Potter (1787-1847) in Hope, Ontario (possibly Port Hope, because of proximity) in 1811 at the age of 19, ' f` (p Y gx- having moved to Canada sometime before. Together, they had two children, Elias Preston (1812-1886) and William C. Preston Jr (1814- 1889). William is buried at Wolford Rural Cemetery in Jasper, in the £." t.• United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, Ontario. - - a_ After William Preston's death, his eldest son Elias took over title to the property and sold it in 1844. From findagrave.com. Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 11 CH IA — 62 Concession St. May 6, 1844: Elias Preston sells to George H. Low George Humphrey Low (1790-1865) was born in in Tullylost, Kildare, Ireland. He was a very ambitious man, being both a lawyer (called to the bar before his 25th birthday), as well as a medical doctor. He was said to be "a kind genial individual and very charitable to the deserving poor" (Ontario Genealogy, Bowmanville in the 50's). He was also a Fellow of the world-wide, still -active Royal Geographical Society (F.R.G.S.), based in London, which includes members from a wide range of professional backgrounds, united by a passion for geography. To be a Fellow, one must have a "sufficient involvement in geography or allied subject through training, professional work, research, publications, or other work of a similar nature" (Royal Geographical Society). On March 4, 1816, George H. Low married Helena Maria Murphy (1783--1873) in Belfast, Ireland. Helena was born in Ferbane, Laois, Ireland, to the Rev. Samuel Murphy. In 1823, the Lows reside in Kildare, Ireland. It appears that the Lows arrived in Canada in 1833. As early as 1837, George H. Low can be found in the Toronto Directory as being a resident of Whitby, at 20 Concession 2. In 1838, Low holds the rank of Captain of the Whitby Independent Volunteers in the Canadian Militia. One of his responsibilities was to document and distribute military allowances, in the roll of "Paymaster." In 1843, George Low had a grand residence built at 26 Beech Ave, Bowmanville. He called the estate mansion "Rathskamory" (sometimes incorrectly spelled "Rathskamery"). The mansion and one gatehouse still stand, and the mansion now operates as the Bowmanville Older Adult Association. George H. Low died on September 27, 1865, and is buried at Bowmanville Cemetery, along with his wife, Helena. This 2013 article on Dr. Low is by Charles Taw, in the Clarington Promoter: [George H. Low] was the first resident doctor in the southern part of Ontario County living between Whitby and Oshawa before moving to Bowmanville. Diana Grandfield in her book Bowmanville: An Architectural and Social History 1794-1999 sums up nicely what we know about him: "Until anaesthetics were in common use, surgeons were judged not only by their skill, but by their speed. Apparently. Dr. Low was exceptional and in demand well beyond the confines of Bowmanville." He lived here in grand style with servants and entertained lavishly. He led a distinguished life and was active in religious, political and military affairs. One incident concerning Dr. Low takes place during the Rebellion of 1837. Early one morning John Burk of Bowmanville was awakened to find his house surrounded by soldiers lead by Dr. Low. Rumour had it that the notorious rebel Ben Lett was being hidden in the house and Dr. Low, in charge of a local militia brigade, was instructed to find him. Mr. Burk knew nothing of the matter but the soldiers searched his house from top to bottom. They found nothing and the Burks treated them all to a hearty breakfast and bid them good-bye. Years later it was found that Burk's young son, David, had pretended to be Ben Lett to frighten a newly arrived Irishman working on his father's farm.

Low sells to Robert Armour (partial land parcel) Robert Armour (1818-1890) was born in Doune, Perthshire, Scotland. He and his family emigrated to Canada in 1820 in company with the father of Sir John Alexander Macdonald, settling at York. The Armours were Huguenots, driven from France in the times of Catholic persecution. In 1837, on the breaking out of the Rebellion, Robert Armour volunteered as a private in a Cobourg company, and in January 1838, aided in cutting out the steamer Caroline and sending the vessel ablaze over Niagara Falls. Robert was sworn in as an attorney in 1840, and, after practising a few years in Cobourg and Port Hope, he married Marianne Burton (1820-1896) of Dysart, Ireland on May 8, 1848 in Port Hope, Ontario. Together, they had eight children, two of whom died in infancy. One of their sons, Edward Douglas Armour (1851-1922) was noteworthy in his own right, as a well-known lawyer, educator, journalist, and poet in Port Hope. Robert, like George H. Low, from whom he purchased the property, was a barrister. It was printed in a newspaper account that, "[in Law, Robert Armour was the senior practitioner [in the area]. He was a gentleman of acknowledged ability and at one period occupied a distinguished position and ranked high in the estimation of the public and enjoyed a lucrative practice" (Ontario Genealogy, Bowmanville in the 50's). Robert was also a Conservative Party activist, and served as mayor of Port Hope in 1849 before settling in Bowmanville in 1851. Robert and Marianne Armour are buried at Bowmanville Cemetery, along with two of their children. Although Robert Armour's career and lifepath seem fruitful, his property located at 62 Concession St W, Bowmanville was sold as a foreclosure in 1860. Further research is required to learn the details around the foreclosure. Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 14 CHIA — 62 Concession St. findagrave.com (also below) March 19, 1860: Foreclosure sale from Trust & Loan Co. to Henry H. Meredith Ralph Henry Howard Meredith (aka Henry H. Meredith) (1815-1892) was born in Dublin, Ireland, to Rev. Thomas Meredith (1777-1819) and Elizabeth Maria Graves (1792-1855). In 1824, Henry H. Meredith emigrated to Rawdon, Montcalm, Quebec, along with his mother, stepfather, and siblings. In 1832, Henry received a land grant of 100 acres in Kilkenny, Montcalm, Quebec. In 1840, he married Margaret Brown (1819-1901) of Port Hope, at St. John's Church, Port Hope. In the census of 1861, Henry and Margaret are recorded as living in a 2 -storey brick house in Port Hope, along with three of their four children, plus a governess and a servant. His occupation is listed as "gentleman," denoting that he was a man of means. He and his wife remained lifelong residents of Port Hope, and are buried together at St. John's Anglican Church Cemetery, Port Hope. Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 15 CH IA — 62 Concession St. December 4, 1869: Henry H. Meredith sells to William K. Burk[e] May 31, 1882: William K. Burk to Clara O. Burk (will) William K. Burk (sometimes spelled "Burke" or "Birk") (1816-1881), was a Canadian -born farmer of Irish descent. The Burks are one of the three founding families of Bowmanville—all United Empire Loyalists (the other two being the Conants and the Trulls). In 1794, William's brother John Burk settled on Lot 14 of the 1st Concession of Darlington Township, and later built an inn or tavern on the same road. John also built a local sawmill in 1806 and was a merchant, supplying goods to new arrivals, proving that this family was instrumental to the settling of the area. William and his wife, Clara (nee Coryall/Coryell, 1823-1895), had three children (Daniel, Martin, and Arthur), two of whom were also farmers; Daniel was a bank clerk. Their religion was listed as "Free Thinkers of England" on the 1861 Canadian Census. The Free Thought movement (which began in the 17th century) referred to people who inquired into the traditional beliefs held by mainstream religion, challenged them with inquiry, and applied their own ideas and opinions. It can be likened to the agnostic movement of our present time. Upon William's death, the property was transferred to Clara, who held ownership until a few years before her own death. Both William and his wife Clara are buried at Bowmanville Cemetery. findagrave.com Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 16 CH IA — 62 Concession St. June 7, 1882: Clara O. Burk sells to Mary McArthur February 4, 1895: Mary McArthur to A. Douglas McArthur Although the current house at 62 Concession St W was thought to have been built in 1879, the family who constructed it did not acquire the property until mid -1882, when it was purchased by Mary McArthur (nee Haggarts). This discrepancy in the assumed build date is possibly due to a source newspaper article from The Canadian Statesman on June 26, 1958 entitled "The Beautiful Old Homes in Bowmanville," wherein many of Bowmanville's historic houses are described. In this article, Miss Margaret Allen is interviewed, and the year of 1879 is arrived at for 62 Concession St W because Miss Allen states that "it [the house] was not there" when Miss Margaret Allen's father built on Beech Ave in 1878, thus leading to the assumption that the dwelling was constructed the following year. Indeed, Drumralla, the Allen property (now 27 Beech Ave.), is included in the 1878 Belden Atlas, while McArthur House is not; however, this does not necessarily mean it was built the following year. (**See end note.) Arguably, this logic is also flawed given the deed information (the Burks still owned and likely farmed the land until transferring ownership in 1882), so a more accurate build date is at the very earliest 1882, but quite probably even later, given the size and ornate nature of the build and the time it would have taken to complete. Unfortunately, no photos have been located to date that show the house being built, so the build date cannot be further narrowed down at this time. Mary McArthur was born in Montgomery, New York, around 1841, and married Francis Ferrier McArthur (1832-1915) in 1863. Their wedding took place in the area of Prescott, Ontario. Francis "Frank" McArthur was born in Scotland, and he and Mary had four children: Angus, Mary, Ida, and Ferrier. Frank is listed as a merchant in the 1861 census, which refers to his business, the Upper Canada Furniture Company, as well as his career as a general merchant, specializing in dry goods. He was a notable local businessman as well as mayor of Bowmanville in 1875 and from 1880-1883. He also took a prominent role in the affairs of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church during its construction in 1871, where he served as its treasurer. In 1895, Mary transferred ownership of the property to Angus Douglas McArthur, her eldest son, when he was approximately 27 years old. Interestingly, although Mary's husband Francis F. McArthur was a notable local figure and appeared as the head of the household on census data, his name never appears on the property's deed. Frank McArthur's business, the Upper Canada Furniture Company, was important to the industry of the area and growth of the town. It consisted of three large factory buildings, a varnishing shop, a warehouse, and many outbuildings. There was also an office situated across the street from the main factory building. The former office apparently still exists, and is located at 12 Prospect Street. McArthur's funiture business eventually encountered financial difficulties, and was forced to close in 1890. The empty buildings were destroyed by fire two years later, apparently in an act of arson. The loss of jobs in Bowmanville as a result of the business closure was a tragedy that affected many citizens. Following the failure of his business, Frank McArthur, along with his family, moved to Toronto. Both Frank and his wife Mary continued to reside there until their deaths. They are buried at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Toronto. Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 17 CHIA — 62 Concession St. BOWMANVILLE'S MAYORS Mayors and term of office since incor- poration.

January 7, 1899: Angus Douglas McArthur to John Hogg Kydd ancestry.ca John Hogg Kydd (1848—?) was born in Arbirlot, Angus, Scotland. He came to Canada sometime between 1871-1873. He was married in Ontario to Clara (sometimes spelled "Clarah") Ann Rice (1856—?), of England in 1873. Together, they had three children, Frederick Charles (1873—?), Frank (1877—?), and much later, Winnifred Clara Kydd (1896-1979). In the 1891 census, John Kydd's listed profession is "manager of a factory," which refers to his job at the Dominion Organ and Piano Company. He would later go into business partnership with J. W. Alexander and Mr. McConnel in that venture. From Picture The Way We Were, p 142. MNION_ N $ PIANG o Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 20 CH IA — 62 Concession St. John Kydd's two sons also had jobs connected with the business, with "Fred" working as a bookkeeper and Frank working in the shop itself. Around 1908, the Kydd family bought a sugar plantation around Ceballos, La Habana, Cuba and moved there. It appears that both John and his wife Clara remained there until their deaths, while the children moved on to New Orleans, Louisiana, around the time of their parents' deaths. According to visiting mediums and local folklore, the Clarington Museum Heritage Centre on nearby Temperance St. is said to be haunted by the ghost of Frank Kydd, John Kydd's second son. The story goes that after John Kydd moved to Cuba, Frank planned a short trip to visit him. He packed up his personal belongings in trunks, storing them for when he returned. Once in Cuba, however, Frank decided to stay for good, never returning to retrieve his packed trunks. The museum now holds these trunks as a time capsule of early 1900s life, and mediums on the museum's Spirit Walks have identified Frank as the building's resident ghost, suggesting he may have returned to find some special belongings left in his trunks. October 29, 1909: John H. Kydd sells to William Henry Martin William Henry Martin (1884-1946) was born in Ontario, and was of Irish and English descent. His occupation was listed in 1911 as a labourer for the railroad, then in 1921 as a farmer, according to census data. As well, prior to 1916, W.H. Martin was a hardware merchant (The Martin Hardware Company), although it appears his business ran into financial difficulties and was closed. He married Winnifred "Winnie" Elizabeth Myles (1891-1976) on May 5, 1910, and together they had two children, Delbert (1911-1990) and Gladys (1915-1994). Interestingly enough, on census data, the Martins' dwelling is described as a structure made of wood, so it is possible that the Martins did not live in the main (brick) house. It may even be possible they lived in the (frame) coach house. William Martin died in Bowmanville, at home, of coronary thrombosis. Winnifred died at Hillsdale Manor, Oshawa. William is buried at Bethesda Cemetery, in Bowmanville, along with his wife. Notice to Creditors In re W. H. Martin, Trading as Martin Hardware Company, Bo-manville, Ont.

It is unknown if John James Moore ever lived at 62 Concession St W., or simply held the title as part of the previous foreclosure (or perhaps he was foreclosed upon himself). Unfortunately the succession information is unclear on this, and not much is known about this individual. In a 1956 Urban Preliminary List of Electors, there are four people living at 62 Concession St W: Ethel McKague (teacher), Kenneth Morris (secretary), Milda Morris (nee Moore) (no work listed), and Mildred Leander (widow). Kenneth Nelson Morris (1912-1983) married Milda Frances Moore (1913—?) of Manitoba, on July 20, 1934 in Toronto. It is likely that Kenneth worked at his family's business in the local funeral industry (now called the Morris Funeral Chapel). The Morris family have a longstanding history in Bowmanville in this line of work, since 1841. It does not appear that Kenneth and Milda ever had children. The other two people living at the house at the time were likely lodgers. Teacher Ethel Maude McKague (1913-1988) was a 1936 graduate of McMaster University and was known to travel, having visited both Rio De Janeiro and Florida. She never married. Mildred Leander was listed as both a spinster and a widow in various documents, and appears to have never had children. Not very much is known about her. During the Morris family ownership, the dwelling is said to have undergone renovations, but "they have kept such features as the handsome brass hardware which has some fine carved decoration. There were seven fireplaces, and these are all intact and in perfect working order. Two have hand -painted tiles which were originally brought from England" (Canadian Statesman, June 26, 1958). It appears that the Moore/Morris family owned the property until 1956, at which time it was sold from the estate of Milda Morris' relative, Albert Henry Moore (1871-1947). FUNERAL DIRECTORS F. F.

The family eventually moved to Christ Church, Isle of Wight. where Its proud business tradition continued lot three generations until Levi Morris emigrated to Canada in 1840. Levi, his wife and 11 children settled in Prince Albert, Ontario. where he began work as an undertaker and fine woods craftsman in 1841. His eldest son, Levi Jr., joined his father in the family business as a fine woods craftsman and worked on many historic buildings in the Bowmanville area, including Trinity United Church and the Balmoral Hotel. After moving to Bowmanville in 1854, Levi Jr. established his own undertaking business on Liberty Street North. He went on to become one of the first licensed embalmers in Ontario, graduating from the Rochester School of Embalming in 1884. Levi Jr. was also responsible for helping found, and becoming a charter member of, the Canadian Undertakers Association in 1883 and the Ontario College of Embalming in • 1891. HIS son, Frank F. Morris, continued in his steps by helping form The Ontario Funeral Service Association in 1922 and the Board of Funeral Services in 1914. The Board of Funeral t Services is the provincial regulatory body governing funeral service today. The present funeral chapel was constructed in 1959 by C.G. (Ted) Morris and F. Donald Morris. When completed, it .a- received praise throughout Ontario as one of the first service facilities to accommodate the unique and varied needs of its - • customers. Completely renovated and expanded during 1994/5 by Paul Morris, the facility now offers four large visitation rooms and a chapel with a seating capacity of more than 200. There is also a state of the art public address system and a colour audio/video system for recording services. The entire facility is totally accessible to the disabled. Morris Funeral Chapel operates its own, complete. fleet of vehicles and has convenient off-street parking for 50 cars. Q4W Morns Funeral Chapel has always been respected as a leader in the funeral service profession and is recognized as Canada's oldest independently owned funeral provider still being operated by descendants of the original family.

He was married to Martha Evelyn Mulholland (1930-2018), and together they had five children (Donald, Steven, David, Gordon, and Verity). Allan "Al" Sylvester was born in Toronto, and graduated from the University of Toronto medical school in 1954. He subsequently took his practice to Bowmanville, and served the area for 45 years in this capacity. He was a lifelong Rotarian, Paul Harris Fellow, served as the President of the Bowmanville Rotary Club, and was Chief of Staff at Bowmanville Memorial Hospital. Martha was born and raised in Toronto where she attended Blythwood Road Public School and Lawrence Park Collegiate, then graduated as a registered nurse from the Hospital for Sick Children. She subsequently qualified as a public health nurse in the city but shortly thereafter moved to Bowmanville with her husband. Family activities soon became the dominant calling in her life along with all the joys and challenges of raising five boisterous and independent kids. Busy summers at the treasured family cottage on Lake Muskoka were an integral part of family life. During that time, Martha also found the time to serve on the board of directors of the Durham Children's Aid Society for many years. Additionally, she often worked as a nurse in her husband's family practice, providing a variety of services including the compassionate administration of injections for thousands of anxious patients. She and her husband were also faithful members of the United Church and then the Baptist Church for many decades. According to the Hoy family, It was the Sylvesters who converted the house back to a single-family. They were careful stewards of McArthur House and loved it dearly. When it came time to sell, they waited for the right buyers who shared their passion and vision, and found them in the Hoys. Al and Martha are interred together at Bowmanville Cemetery. findagrave.com (all) SYLVESTER. DR.

Dr. Paul J. Hoy was a medical doctor in Bowmanville, with a practice located at 222 King St E. Together, he and Monica had five children (Greg, Mona, Patrick, Paul, and Kathleen). On March 24, 1988, Dr. Paul Hoy was one of the team of physicians that arranged for heart transplant surgery for a local man named Tom Gould. Mr. Gould was only 49 years old at the time, and was told by his physician that he would not live to see 50 if he did not get a transplant. The surgery at Toronto Hospital went well, and Dr. Hoy was later mentioned in the media as a "caring physician" ("Friend Gets Extra 19 Years Thanks To Stranger," May 14, 2007, durhamregion .com). As a result of the surgery, Tom Gould went on to live nearly 20 more years, eventually dying in 2007 as one of the longest -surviving heart transplant recipients in the area. In 2009, Dr. Hoy spoke to the press about his concern for the future of the Emergency Room at Lakeridge Health Bowmanville, in response to a press release that suggested an impending reduction of service. He was quoted as saying, "We're a major GTA community. We rival Oshawa in terms of [hospital visit] numbers. This community deserves, demographically and otherwise, to have an appropriate facility" ("Bowmanville Doctors continue to worry about health of hospital," May 25, 2009, durhamregion.com). Dr Hoy had the largest practice in town for many decades, at one point caring for over 2,000 patients. He found time to be an active member of St. Joseph's parish and played hockey until about five years ago, as well as baseball and soccer, and was a Cub leader for his three sons. The Hoys cared for Paul's parents, who lived in the coach house in their later years. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, and brother. Paul Hoy died suddenly at Lakeridge Health Bowmanville on December 22, 2021. Dr. Hoy was truly a beloved doctor, friend, and member of the Bowmanville community and is deeply missed not just by his family but by many in town and elsewhere. Dr. Paul Hoy (thestar.com) Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 25 CH IA — 62 Concession St. March 18, 2022: Paul Joseph Hoy to Monica Mary Walsh Hoy (survivorship) Mrs. Hoy, like her husband and the Sylvesters before her, loves her home and is known for insisting that original features be restored and retained and for keeping careful records of any evidence of earlier changes uncovered during renovations, such as during the recent addition of a new kitchen. From the time the Hoys arrived in Bowmanville in 1979 until her husband's sudden and tragic death, Monica Hoy worked part-time for him, doing accounts at his medical office. In addition to raising their children, she volunteered at St. Joseph's School, at St. Joseph's parish, was on the board of Community Care, and was a thirty -five-year canvasser for the Heart and Stroke Campaign. With degrees in nursing and law, she became a family law mediator and has worked for the past twenty-two years as the Information and Referral Coordinator and On -site Mediator at the Family Law Information Centre in Cobourg. According to Guy Lanteigne, the family's long-term contractor and restoration carpenter, Mrs. Hoy has kept all the original windows and doors, and has asked him to restore the sash -window weights to full function and rewire the chandeliers. Additional restoration work is planned. Paul and Monica Hoy truly considered themselves stewards of their beautiful house, which has been the heart and soul of the family and the centre of countless family and community celebrations. Mrs. Hoy feels blessed to have four grandchildren who, along with nieces, nephews and other visiting children, absolutely love exploring this amazing house. 2.4 Heritage Resources on Site Age A number of sources and references cite the date of construction of McArthur House as 1879. However, we feel this date may be too early, as the land title records indicate that the property was still owned by the Burk family at that time, and was not transferred to the McArthurs until 1882. The Hoys' restoration carpenter, Guy Lanteigne, believes the house dates to the early 1880s, based in part on the original interior features and furniture. Additional research is needed to confirm a date. Regardless, the High Victorian Gothic style employed, which features many Italianate elements, situates the property firmly in the late 1870s to mid -1880s. Architect The Canadian Encyclopedia notes that architect -designed homes from this time are rare — because the architects themselves were rare. Canada's first degree -granting school of architecture was established at the University of Toronto in 1890. For these reasons, it seems unlikely that 62 Concession was designed by a trained architect; rather, it is more likely that a skilled local builder, in consultation with F.F. McArthur, built the house. As ACO Clarington's Rick McEachern points out, "Mr. McArthur, who ran the Upper Canada Furniture Company, certainly knew his way around lumber, and in her book Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 26 CH IA — 62 Concession St. Bowmanville An Architectural and Social History 1794-1999, Diana Grandfield said that McArthur built the house himself." Indeed, with the exception of the larger cities, most communities of the time did not use architects, as pre -1890 they were trained in the U.S. or overseas and were therefore likely to be extremely expensive. Although Mr. McArthur likely could have afforded this service, there is plenty of evidence in Bowmanville of the skill of local builders, carpenters, and masons; therefore we feel it's likely no architect was used. Architectural Features of the House and Coach House (See Figure 3: Current Photos) Framed print of Walter Campbell painting: McArthur -era 62 Concession in summer, south elevation. (Note pre-horseless-carriage coach house at rear.) While McArthur House clearly falls within the late -Victorian era of architectural styles, like many fellow stately vernacular homes of that time, it contains features of a variety of sub - styles. The mix of elements and materials is unmistakeably of the High Victorian Queen Anne Gothic style, but with a number of distinctively Italianate details. In John Blumenson's Ontario Architecture, he describes the typical North American version of the Queen Anne style as having an "irregular outline or silhouette, consisting of towers, broad gables or pediments, projecting two -storey bays, multisloped roofs and tall decorated chimneys." He adds there is often a "profusion of decorative motifs in stone, brick and wood [that] combined with a variety of roof shapes create the richly decorated irregular form so characteristic of the style." A document provided by the Clarington branch of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario describes the house as follows: The irregular facade is actuated with many elaborate details. Most outstanding are the polychromatic brickwork, the extensive use of gingerbread, the ornately decorated veranda, and the tall wrought iron finials at the gable peaks. This is the best designed High Victorian Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 27 CH IA — 62 Concession St. house in Bowmanville and together with the grounds and exceptional fine coach house, it is also the best preserved. McArthur House's shape demonstrates one of the most distinctive characteristics of the style: a hipped roof with lower cross gables. (Though it is not visible from ground level, the roof is actually crowned by a small flat deck.) Also distinguishing this house is its full original slate roof. Framed print of Walter Campbell painting: 62 Concession in winter, south elevation. The house exemplifies what Virginia Savage McAlester, in her Field Guide to American Houses (2nd edition, 2019) calls "the typical Queen Anne aversion to smooth wall surfaces." Decorative brickwork, spindlework, and a roofed projecting bay window on the facade all work to provide texture and variety, as do the house's many steeply pitched gables with decorative bracing, incised ornament, vergeboard, and brackets. The brackets and vergeboard feature a variety of sunburst and circle motifs. McArthur House's Italianate elements are also easily identified, including the tall paired and triple windows with segmental arches, exposed rafter tails in several of the gables, decorative partial -width porch, large decorative eave brackets, and double -hung sash windows. Distinctive Masonry Treatment Bowmanville is well known for its many historic brick structures, unusual for an era in which mainly less -expensive frame buildings were the norm. Not only is McArthur House an outstanding example of its mason's skill, it demonstrates a distinctive finishing treatment used on older brick facades to create the illusion of perfect angles and bricks uniform in colour and shape. Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 28 CH IA — 62 Concession St. More research would have to be undertaken to determine possible sources for the bricks used in the construction of the house, but it is most likely that they were made and sourced locally, perhaps from the brickworks on Liberty Street. At this time, the bricks manufactured in smaller brickworks had significant variations in colour and shape, and as a result, did not always project the air of refinement some owners sought. Enter the master mason, who came to the rescue with a finishing technique. In his article, "Joint Finishes in Historic Brickwork" (building conservation.com), Gerard Lynch describes the techniques and how they were achieved. The first step would be colour -washing the entire exterior to try to achieve a uniform brick colour. The drawback of this approach was that the joints (mortar) would also be coloured, obscuring the "bond" or brick pattern. Following the wash, therefore, the joints were always picked out again to re-emphasize the bond through a craft practice called "pencilling," a form of tuck pointing. This was usually executed in white distemper — a mix of crushed chalk and glue size, originally drawn on by eye, but later by using a special straight -edge called a "pointing rule." A grid of very thin grooves, establishing level and plumb, was applied to the tinted mortar, and once the pencilling was applied, it was trimmed using an adapted knife called a "Frenchman," guided by the pointing rule. This resulted in precisely sized narrow ribbons. Although usually cream coloured, black, and occasionally red ribbons were also used in the Victorian period. •1u1 A thin blade, guided by the "pointing Using the "Frenchman" to trim a bed joint ribbon. rule," creates a "ruled" joint. (Both from BuildingConservation.com) Of course, due to the labour-intensive nature of this work and the skill and time required —and therefore the expense —it was reserved for "premiere" facades only. McArthur House displays a perfectly preserved example of the technique, not only on the brick of the facade, but a version has also been applied to the cut stone of the home's foundation.

(From BuildingConservation.com) Interior (See Figure 3: Current Photos) McArthur House's interior also includes many outstanding original features, lovingly restored over many decades thanks to the determination of her most recent owners, Dr. and Mrs. Hoy and before them, the Sylvesters. Under Mrs. Hoy's direction, local master craftsman Guy Lanteigne has brought much of the spectacular interior back to functional life, uncovering traces of the history of the house and its occupants in the process. In her 1958 Statesman article, "The Beautiful Old Homes in Bowmanville," Elsie Carruthers Lunney states: Mr. and Mrs. Morris in renovating the house have kept such features as the handsome brass hardware which has some fine carved decoration. There were seven fireplaces and these are all intact and in perfect working order. Two have handpainted tiles which were originally brought from England. Mr. McArthur, the builder, being a man who knew fine wood, the woodwork throughout is very good, being mainly of cherry, and in the front hall, oak. There was hand -tooled leather on the wall beside the staircase, and the Morrises regretted that this was in such a poor state of preservation that it could not be saved. In renovating the coach house, with an apartment above, the original architecture was kept, and it presents a most attractive appearance. Guy Lanteigne, the Hoys' contractor, details more of the original interior features, such as the carved woodwork on door and window casings, the high ceilings, the original panelled doors, including the paired front doors and the folding pocket doors to the dining room, the pine floors and deep baseboards in the ground -floor reception rooms, the carved fireplaces, the brass hardware mentioned by Ms. Lunney, and the extensive plasterwork. The skill of the plasterers is particularly evident in the crown mouldings, ceiling medallions, and especially the chimney breasts, which display a decorative plaster feature called a "lark's tongue." Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 30 CH IA — 62 Concession St. In plastering and woodworking, a lark's tongue is a chamfered adjoining edge which ends in a gradual outward curve, leaving the remainder of the edge as a right angle. The skill required to accomplish this, presumably by hand, is considerable. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this property is that so many of these features survived to be restored. As was the case with many stately homes, the considerable costs of upkeep became a burden when there was an economic downturn, and their owners resorted to converting them to apartments or, as in this case, a rooming house. It seems likely that this happened to McArthur House between the Martins' bankruptcy in 1916 and the mid -1950s. Ms. Lunney mentions in her article that Mr. and Mrs. Morris renovated the house, which may have been done to upgrade the rental property. Mr. Lanteigne, the Hoys' contractor, says that at some point the upper staircase to the attic was enclosed and a kitchen was installed in a bedroom on the second floor, likely for the tenants. (He also notes that the main staircase is not original; the current stairs to the second floor were salvaged by the Sylvesters from a nearby home of similar age and installed several feet further from the front door. Like the stairs themselves, the "hand tooled leather" is sadly no more, removed by the Morrises as unsalvageable.) When Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester took ownership in 1956, they restored the house to a single-family home. Coach House The carriage or coach house, to the northwest of the main house, now converted to a residence from its original purpose, also retains many exterior features. Its original design was likely similar to that of the nearby Ravenscraig coach house at 8 Beech (see Grandfield, p. 77), with a central access door for a carriage, surmounted by a projecting gable. Compared to the main house, the McArthur coach house has more modest but still decorative gable brackets and ornament, and a small square cupola with weathervane as a nod to its horsey purpose. Note that in contrast to the main house, this accessory building has mainly six -over -six double - hung windows, and the main window, in the south -facing gable, has a three-part 16 -light central section, probably fixed, flanked by smaller, four -over -four versions. This is possibly because these were less expensive than the single -paned windows of the main house. Setting and Landscape The house sits on a large, landscaped lot nearly an acre in size with extensive lawns that is surrounded on three sides by local roads. It is set back a generous 35 metres from Concession Street, providing a striking view of the south elevation from the street, although this is now partly screened by the many mature trees, hedges, and gardens. There are several points of access to the property, including the two ends of the original circular gravel driveway, as well as the driveway off High Street to the west, accessing the coach house. This point also provides a closer view of the west facade of the house (fully decorated with this view in mind). Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 31 CH IA — 62 Concession St. 3.0 Statement of Significance Ontario Regulation 9/06 under the Ontario Heritage Act sets out the criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest, which is required in order to designate a property under the provisions of Part IV of the Act. A property may be designated under Section 29 of the Act if it meets one or more of the following criteria for determining whether it is of cultural heritage value or interest. 1. The property has design or physical value because it: i. is a rare, unique, representative, or early example of a style, type, expression, material or construction method; ii. displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit; or, iii. demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement. 2. The property has historical or associative value because it: i. has direct associations with a theme, event, belief, person, activity, organization or institution that is significant to a community; ii. yields, or has the potential to yield, information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture; or, iii. demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect, artist, builder, designer, or theorist who is significant to a community. 3. The property has contextual value because it: i. is important in defining, maintaining or supporting the character of an area; ii. is physically, functionally, visually or historically linked to its surroundings; or, iii. is a landmark. After analyzing the history and heritage attributes of McArthur House (62 Concession St West), as described in the foregoing sections of this report, we have concluded that: (i) The property has design value in that the house and coach house are representative examples of 19th- century Ontario vernacular architecture, specifically the High Victorian Gothic style, and include many distinctive features of that style; (ii) The property displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit on the part of the designer/builder; 2. (i) The property has historical and associative value in that it represents an important time in the early development of Bowmanville and is associated with several prominent families, including one of the area's founding settler families; several families associated with key local industries that contributed to the growth of the community; and two mayors: Robert Armour and F.F. McArthur; Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 32 CH IA — 62 Concession St. (ii) The property has associative value as one of the few remaining estate homes on large lots near the downtown that reflect the aspirations and success of the early industrialists, politicians, and businesspeople of the community, and the way they chose to reflect their status through their properties; (iii) The property is associated with and demonstrates the skills, techniques, and materials used by this community's talented designer -builders of the late 19th century; 3. (i) The property has contextual value in that its distinctive setting —the expansive grounds with mature tree canopy, frontage on three local roads, deep setbacks and circular drive —is important in maintaining and defining the historic character of Concession St and of the neighbourhood, which originally featured many large homes on estate lots; (ii) The property is physically, functionally, visually, and historically linked to its surroundings, particularly the development of the 19th- century residential neighbourhoods to the east, west, and south, including the Beech Avenue area and Concession Street, as well as to nearby industrial properties such as those owned or managed by the property's residents; e.g., the Upper Canada Furniture Company and the Dominion Organ and Piano Company; and (iii) The property is a landmark. McArthur House has cultural heritage value not only because it demonstrates the skills and achievements of its builders and craftspeople, but also because it represents the skills and achievements of its owners over time. The property's cultural heritage value lies in it being one of the best examples of the High Victorian Gothic Revival style of residential architecture design in the municipality, and in retaining most of its original c. 1880s features. The large 2Y2 -storey home displays many of the typical hallmarks of this style, including an irregular plan, steeply pitched hipped roof with gables and original slate shingles, decorative brick treatments, and elaborate vergeboard, brackets, and porch trim. The house also includes several Italianate elements, such as tall, paired windows with segmentally arched heads. It is set well back on an estate lot with landscaping and a circular drive amid a mature, tree -lined residential area richly represented by many other identified heritage properties, including the adjacent Beech Avenue Heritage Conservation District. The property has proven associations with several mid -19th -century "city fathers" —including F.F. McArthur and John H. Kydd—who played a leading role in the early commercial, manufacturing, and political life and development of the community. In addition to owning the Upper Canada Furniture Company, one of Bowmanville's largest employers in the late 1800s, F.F. McArthur was also mayor of Bowmanville in 1875 and 1880 to 1883. The positive influence of McArthur House's owners continues up to the present day, as the two most recent families, the Sylvesters and the Hoys, have contributed not only to the health of Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 33 CH IA — 62 Concession St. the community through their work in medicine, law, and through their churches, but also by undertaking the loving (and ongoing) restoration of their home for the enjoyment of all. Description of Heritage Attributes Key exterior attributes that embody the design value of McArthur House as an outstanding example of the High Victorian Queen Anne residential style with a high degree of craftsmanship and artistic merit include its: • 2 %2 -storey irregular three -bay plan with a centre hall layout, circa early 1880s • High Victorian Queen Anne Gothic style with Italianate details • hipped roof with cross gables and crowned with flat deck • partial -width front porch with pedimented entry, balustrade inserts, and skirting cut-outs • matching side porch on east elevation (lattice skirting) • original slate roof tiles • three tall, decorated brick chimneys, one with chimney pots • paired steeply pitched gables on south (front) elevation, eastern bay and gable is narrower and higher, with metal cornicing, all gables feature deep eaves and returns • cut -stone foundation • paired, segmentally arched windows, some with shutters (north and south elevations) • bay window with roof on eastern facade • cross -bracing and carved circle and sunburst motifs in gable vergeboards and brackets • elaborate wrought -iron finials on both front gables • exposed rafter tails in the smaller gables (west and north) • ruled and pencilled cream -coloured tuck pointing (and possible colour -washing) on brick; (pointing also evident on the exterior cut -fieldstone foundation) • belt courses of contrasting black ("tarred" or "blackened") and buff brick; black brick is also used to highlight the window head archest • blackened brick right-angle zig zag belt course between first and second floor on east, south, and west elevations • band of decorative brickwork in an indented -rectangles pattern under attic windows on east and south elevations • turned, fluted square porch columns with heavy bracketing on south (front) and east elevations • turned, fluted pilasters at front entrance • arched stained-glass transom over double front doors • original circular gravel drive Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 34 CH IA — 62 Concession St. • original 1 Y2 -storey frame side -gabled carriage house (now converted and tenanted), with a projecting centre gable and end gables with ornament, a cupola, and six -over -six double -hung windows. The main window, in the south -facing gable, has a three-part 16 -light central section, probably fixed, flanked by smaller, four -over -four versions. Key contextual attributes that express the value of the property as a landmark that continues to support and define the character and history of its historic neighbourhood include: • its expansive original estate lot with lawns, landscaping, and many mature trees and gardens • its location and setting in an early residential area close to the downtown and nearby manufacturing sites • the views of the property from Concession Street West t (Note that in Grandfield's Bowmanville: An Architectural and Social History, the Dominion Organ and Piano Co., 1874 (p. 105), and the Weir House, c. 1885 (p. 112) are both described as having "string courses of tarred brick" similar to those featured on McArthur House. Apparently this was a popular embellishment of the time.) Interior Interior features, many of which are original, continue the story inside. Doors, windows, ceilings, and walls are finished in carved or decorative woodwork, plasterwork, and metalwork. High ceilings, wide hallways, and transoms over doors throughout —even in the servants' area to the rear of the house —as well as the many generous reception rooms, provide a feeling of spaciousness and luxury. The original coach house, though not in optimal condition, is also a rare surviving representative of a time and a neighbourhood where status meant hired help living on site, and owning carriages and horses. • original double front doors with vestibule • original double six -panelled doors to ground floor principal rooms • original staircase and newel posts on stairs to attic (now enclosed) • original interior doors • original plaster ceiling medallions • original highly decorated brass fittings, hinges, and hardware on doors • high interior ceilings throughout • working six -panelled folding pocket doors between drawing room and dining room • fireplaces with original mantels, carved surrounds, (including one very elaborate in the drawing room), and hand -painted decorative tile from England • chimney breasts with chamfered "lark's tongue" plaster detail • plaster crown mouldings Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 35 CH IA — 62 Concession St. • wooden baseboards (discreetly replaced in some rooms with baseboard heaters of the same height) • carved oak newel post with daisy pattern (possibly not original, as stairs are not original) • original pine floors in principal rooms (now carpeted; replaced by parquet in front hall) • transoms over bedroom doors • servants' quarters: housekeeper's room on ground floor (northwest corner) near kitchen; servants' (back) stairs; two small rooms on the second floor at the back of the house • fieldstone foundation in cellar • brick enclosure in cellar, with signs of ducting, possibly for original wood stove Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 36 CH IA — 62 Concession St. 4.0 Assessment of Existing Condition There are two dwellings located at 62 Concession Street Bowmanville: a main house and a coach house. 4.1 Condition of Main House The existing main home fronts onto Concession Street. It is a 2 %-storey structure, with a coursed stone foundation facilitating a full -height basement. In terms of architectural style, it is considered a High Victorian/Queen Anne/Gothic with Italianate details. The home is mostly rectangular in plan featuring a solid brick construction. It has a combination of arched, pointed arched and flat lintel style windows on all elevations. The brick is in a traditional red colour with black accent bricks orientated in horizontal lines circumscribing the house and accentuating the lintels and arches. The steeply pitched roofs are clad in original slate shingles complete with galvanized metal capping and trims. There are several dormers in the structure servicing the third floor. It is in moderately good condition although some shingles are missing. This should be addressed in the near future. The several chimneys that extend through the roof service functional fireplaces and furnaces and are in excellent condition. Soffits, fascias and bracketing exhibit the fine woodworking detail often associated with a residence of this nature from that era. The exterior woodwork and ornamentation are in good and serviceable condition but are in need of some attention in the near future. The original wooden sash and window frames are in good condition. They have been well - maintained over the years but they too will need some ongoing maintenance in the near future. The main entrance is sheltered by a large wooden covered porch on the southwest corner. The entrance door is comprised of two door panels entering into a small vestibule behind which two more doors open up into a large foyer. A side entrance is accessed via a raised masonry patio with a large wood -framed gazebo porch structure in the southeast corner. One enters the house from this patio through one of two sets of double French doors. Both wooden porch structures are in serviceable condition but will require maintenance in the near future. The rear yard is accessed by a service entrance which is also protected from the elements by a small roof structure. This structure is in good condition. Martindale Planning Services September, 2022 37 CH IA — 62 Concession St. The main floor provides for all of the common areas associated with the home with all finishes being in excellent condition. It includes a newly renovated kitchen and bathroom. The second floor is accessed by a large centre staircase rising from the main entrance foyer and a secondary service stairway rising from the rear entrance. It contains the private areas of the house including four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The 2 %2 or third storey of the house is accessed by the continuation of the centre stairway. The third floor is mostly unfinished except for plastered walls and ceilings. The several dormers bring light and function to these areas nestled in between the roof rafters. Generally, the interior finishes are comprised of plaster on wood lath or where renovations have been executed, on quality drywall finishes. The interior of the house has been lovingly cared for over the years and exhibits an original -like condition. All doors and trims in this home are original, refurbished or high -quality reproductions of the original. All the flooring in the house is complementary to its original era including the modern ceramic finishes found in the kitchen and bathrooms. The structural components of the house, although generally not visible, are visible in most of the basement floor structure. They were constructed with quality materials and the proven techniques of the era and are still of sound nature today. The construction techniques of the era did not incorporate much in the way of insulation or draft -proofing. Unfortunately, there is not much opportunity to upgrade those systems today without significant compromise to the historic nature of the interiors. The home is heated with a reasonably efficient oil -fired furnace. Although no specific test for the purpose of energy usage was conducted for this report, one could surmise that a house such as this is inefficient from an energy -usage perspective. 4.2 Condition of Coach House The coach house on the property fronts onto High Street. It is of wood -frame construction and is comprised of living quarters above a three -bay garage complete with second -storey veranda to the east. The exterior of the structure is clad in painted fibre/cement siding with painted soffit and fascia of wood. All of these finishes are in need of some repair and maintenance. Signs of a weak foundation are evident in the unlevel nature of the overhead doors servicing the garage area. This will need to be addressed in the future. The structure has a pitched roof complete with dormer to the south adding light to the second floor and new asphalt shingles. Martindale Planning Services September, 2022 38 CH IA — 62 Concession St. Utility and storage spaces servicing the second -storey suite are located at ground level and a single flight of stairs provides access to that space. The interior finishes of the structure are in poor but serviceable condition. The coach house is heated with an oil furnace and cooled with a central air-conditioning system. 4.3 Summary The main home at 62 Concession Street includes many historically significant elements, several in excellent condition. Fortunately, several generations of owners understood this significance and despite the challenge and costs have lovingly maintained this house to the present. It is imperative that this ongoing maintenance is continued if the home is to survive into the future. Maintenance notwithstanding, the inherent energy inefficiencies of a structure of this nature and the rising costs of that energy may prove to be the bigger challenge in keeping homes like this one viable, despite their historical significance. The coach house is in fair condition. Addressing the foundation issue will insure its future and a facelift on both the exterior and the interior will secure its place in the community. 5.0 Description of the Proposed Development The owner of the subject property, Monica Hoy, intends to sever three (3) lots from the property, two of which would be vacant building lots, while the third lot already contains an existing coach house behind the main house, as illustrated on Figure 2 of this report. 62 Concession St. presently has an area of 3,697 m2 with a lot frontage of 55.1 m and a depth of 67.1 m. with the main residence sited essentially in the middle of the property towards the north end. Proposed lot #1 comprises the existing coach house fronting onto High St. It would have a frontage of 15.5. m, a depth of 30.8 m and a lot area of 463.2 m2. Proposed lot #2 would be located at the southwestern portion of the property with frontage on Concession St. of 15 m and a flankage on High St. of 30.7 m. It would have a lot area of 460.5 m2. Proposed lot #3 would be located at the southeastern portion of the property with frontage on Concession St. of 15 m and a flankage on Burk Ct. of 30.7 m. Similar to lot #2, It would have a lot area of 460.5 m2. The retained lot would have a frontage of 25.1 m on Concession St., with flankages of 20.9 m on High St. and 36.4 m on Burk Ct. It would have a minimum depth of 51.6 m on the west and a maximum depth of 67.1 m on the east. The proposed severances were designed to comply with the applicable zoning requirements insofar as it was possible (minor variances will be required with respect to lot frontage for lots 2 Martindale Planning Services September, 2022 39 CH IA — 62 Concession St. and 3 and lot area and north side yard for lot 1). More importantly, it was considered imperative that the frontage for the retained lot be kept as large as possible in order to maintain the vista of the heritage house from Concession St. The severances were also intended to be in general compliance with the recent creation of two lots at 26 Concession St., a short distance to the east of the subject property. In that case, two lots were severed from the frontage of the property in 2020, while preserving the vista of the historical dwelling in the middle. The new lots at 26 Concession St. also have a frontage of 15 m. While the proposed lots are approximately 10 m shallower than the severed lots at 26 Concession St., they should not detract from the view of the heritage house since they are situated to the side rather than in front of the latter. 6.0 Impact of Development on Heritage Attributes In our view there will be little or no impact on the heritage attributes of the subject property. Although a few mature trees may have to be removed to accommodate the new houses on proposed lots 2 and 3, care will be taken to retain as much of the existing vegetation as possible. Similarly, the prominent trees and shrubs in front of and on both sides of the heritage house will be retained. No physical changes are proposed to the exterior of the house, and it will be maintained in the same exemplary manner as it has been for the past century and a half. The new houses on lots 2 and 3 will be designed to complement but not duplicate the existing architectural style of the main house. Access will be from the side streets, so as not to impact traffic flow on Concession Street. 7.0 Considered Alternatives and Mitigation Strategies One alternative that was considered, but subsequently discarded, was to apply for four severances — in addition to proposed lots 1— 3, a fourth severance to create a building lot at the northeast corner of the property was contemplated. This was deemed to be not feasible or appropriate as it would have left virtually no rear yard behind the heritage house and would have adversely affected the vista from Concession Street. The other alternative, of course, would be to not apply for any new lots and retain the property as is. The difficulty with this approach is the escalating costs involved in maintaining the heritage house and making the kind of improvements required to ensure its longevity as noted in the Building Condition section — notably, increasing the energy efficiency and long-term viability of the home. 8.0 Conservation Strategy Normally a detailed conservation strategy is formulated if major alterations are proposed to a heritage property. In this instance, there are no alterations being proposed that would affect the heritage attributes of 62 Concession Street; however, the appearance of the site will Martindale Planning Services September, 2022 40 CH IA — 62 Concession St. certainly be affected by the construction of two new homes at the corners of the property. It is therefore imperative that the design of the new buildings be in keeping with the design of not only the existing heritage house but others along Concession St. Furthermore, the landscaping of these lots will have to ensure that as little vegetation as possible be disturbed and the accesses are located as far from this street as possible. 9.0 Conclusion and Recommendations Our research has demonstrated that 62 Concession Street, otherwise known as the McArthur House, is one of the finest examples of the High Victorian architectural style in Bowmanville and one of the best preserved. In addition, its history is particularly significant as noted in the description of previous owners. Since it satisfies all of the criteria for designation outlined in Ontario Regulation 9/06, It certainly merits designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. The severances are intended to provide the property owner with sufficient cash flow to properly maintain and improve the energy efficiency of the main house without detracting from its heritage attributes. Care has been taken to locate the proposed houses in such a way that they won't affect the vista from Concession Street. Once the heritage house is designated, the design of the new homes will have to be approved by the Clarington Heritage Committee and Council to ensure that they don't adversely affect the heritage character of the property or the street as a whole. In conclusion, we would recommend that staff and Council support the development proposal for the subject property as described in this report. Respectfully submitted by, Robert A.

In his words: "I came to the determination that the house was built in 1879 because Diana Grandfield says [McArthur] built the house in 1879 in her book [Bowmanville: An Architectural & Social History, 1794-1999], as does the book Picture The Way We Were, [and] Grandfield certainly knew her local history." Mr. McEachern is well qualified in this respect himself, as he serves on the executive of the Clarington Branch of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario, and is the co-author of the book, Port Darlington Sands: 120 Enchanted Summers: An Illustrated & Social History of Bowmanville Beach 1900-2020. He is also the creator and administrator of the "Vintage Bowmanville" Facebook group, with 2600 members. We are grateful for his invaluable assistance. Many thanks to the helpful and diligent Staff of the Clarington Library and Museum, as well as to Rick McEachern, the Hoy family, Guy Lanteigne and David Veenstra, and the members of the ACO Clarington Branch.

All Committee members and Staff are in agreement. Conclusion: The recommendation from Planning Staff is that application for consent be tabled to allow the applicant to provide the Durham Region Health Department with the appropriate information to satisfy any outstanding concerns.

The purpose of this application is to facilitate the creation of a new residential lot with an existing coach house as proposed as Part 1 on the Draft Reference Plan in Bowmanville. 2. Public notification was conducted in accordance with the Planning Act which included signage being installed on the subject site and a mail out to all property owners within 60 metres of the subject site. 3. Comments were received from the Community Planning Division (Heritage) regarding the conditions to include a submission of a Heritage Impact Assessment prior to a recommendation being made. 4. Comments were received in opposition to the application from a neighbouring resident. The nature of the concerns were regarding the coach house being located on the property line for the proposed severed lot. • Comments received by the public will be considered when the application is lifted from the tabling and presented again to the Committee of Adjustment. Minutes — January 29, 2026 Committee of Adjustment Meeting Page 7 5. Staff recommend that application B-2025-0030 be tabled to allow for further discussions with the applicant regarding proposed heritage -related conditions, the additional variances that were identified, and any neighbouring property line disputes. Discussion: No members of the public spoke regarding this application. The applicant/agent, Bob Martindale, spoke and provided an overview of the application. The owner/agent states that they have read and agreed to the conditions of the Staff's recommendation. Following the presentation, the Committee did not raise any questions or concerns. Applicant does not agree with Staff's recommendation to table the application. The applicant provided some background information on previous pre -consultations that and required studies Wishes the application be approved subject to appropriate conditions Committee Members N. Gamble: Is the heritage committee involved? N. Gibson: provided overview of CP comments S. Gattie: The Heritage Committee will be involved for this application to include their review and to provide comments. D. Eastman: — The encroachment on the property line? Has this issue been resolved? N. Gibson: The survey plan that was submitted shows that the coach house is not on the property line, but it does not indicate that it's 2 metres. I've asked the applicant to provide a revised survey plan that shows the 2 metre distance. S. Pohjola: Why was the Heritage Impact Assessment not submitted? Bob Martindale — It was an oversight. We thought that the Heritage Impact Assessment was submitted with the application, but it wasn't. W. Partner: When will heritage committee review? Next meeting? S. Gattie: Staff will have to discuss with the Heritage Committee on when we can get on their agenda. We would like to speak with the applicant first to come up with a path forward for this application. Minutes — January 29, 2026 Committee of Adjustment Meeting Page 8 S. Pohjola: Does Staff require an updated site plan to be added as a condition to the Staff Report? N. Gibson: Yes, a condition should be added to the Staff Report regarding the updated site plan. Bob Martindale — The site plan is premature because the house exists and there's no desire to tear it down and to build a new house at this point. The consent application is to just separate the main house from the coach house, and there's no intent to tear the coach house down. S. Gattie: An updated concept plan is needed to show the setbacks from the existing buildings to the property line so that Staff can confirm all the required variances. Bob Martindale — That can be done, no problem. Motion to approve B-2025-0030 as recommended by Dave Eastman, seconded by Shelley Pohjola. Time approved 7:02pm. Full text of Decision: That application B-2025-0030 for consent be tabled to allow for further discussions with the applicant regarding any proposed heritage -related conditions, the additional variances are identified, and any neighbouring property line disputes have been resolved. Conclusion: 1. Staff's recommendation is to table this application, as comments regarding the heritage of the property have not yet been received. A Heritage Impact Assessment from the Community Planning Division is still pending. Furthermore, additional variances have been identified, and staff recommend tabling the application to allow for further discussions with the applicant to confirm these variances. 2. The recommendation from Planning Staff is that application for a consent be tabled to allow for further discussions with the applicant regarding any proposed heritage -related conditions, the additional variances are identified, and any neighbouring property line disputes have been resolved. The matter was then put to a vote and was carried out as follows, signed by all members present and concurring that this is the Committee Decision on B-2025-0030 on January 29, 2026.

Minor Variance Applications 7.1 File: A-2025-0047 Owner/Agent: Michael Fry, D.G. Biddle and Associates Limited; Raivo Uukkivi, Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP Staff: Hebah Masood Address: 125 Port Darlington Road, Bowmanville Application: 1. The purpose of the minor variance application is to expand the uses within the site specific General Industrial Exception (M2-2) Zone to include the following: a) Contractor's or tradesman's workshop and yard; b) Equipment sales and rental, light; Minutes —January 29, 2026 Page 12 Committee of Adjustment Meeting c) Equipment sales and rental, heavy; d) Outside storage of goods and materials where such use is accessory and incidental to a permitted use e) A farm implement and equipment sales and service establishment; f) A dry light industry within a wholly enclosed building or structure; g) A work shop within a wholly enclosed building or structure; h) An assembly, manufacturing, fabricating or processing plant within a wholly enclosed building or structure; i) A motor vehicle repair garage within a wholly enclosed building or structure. 2. Public notification was conducted in accordance with the Planning Act which included signage being installed on the subject site and a mail out to all property owners within 60 metres of the subject site. 3. No comments were received in opposition to the application from external agencies or internal departments. 4. Staff have received one comment from the public in opposition to the minor variance application. The commenters main concerns are that the requested variances are not in alignment with the proposed waterfront strategy, would increase traffic of trucks and larger vehicles to the neighborhood and would negatively impact safety in the area. It was their opinion the permitted uses to general industrial uses would not be suitable for the area. 5. Staff recommends that application A2025-0047 for a Minor Variance to Section 24.4.2a of Zoning By -Law 84-63 be denied as it does not maintain the general intent and purpose of the Clarington Official Plan, and the Zoning By-law 84-63, is not desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land and is not minor in nature. Discussion: No members of the public spoke regarding this application. The applicant's council Raivo Uukkivi noted that the Planning Justification Report written by Michael Fry from D. G. Biddle was not circulated to committee members and therefore the applicant would like the Committee to table the application to allow the Committee to review the report. Minutes — January 29, 2026 Committee of Adjustment Meeting Page 13 M. Fry: presented his interpretation of Planning Act Section 45 (2) regarding the Powers of the Committee of Adjustment. Hi discussed that the Committee has the power to approve new uses where they are similar or legal non -conforming to the existing permitted uses. His interpretation is that the requested additional uses are either similar or legal non -conforming uses to Zoning By -Law 84-63. His opinion is that the existing permitted uses in the M2-2 Zone are too restrictive and too prohibitive by only allowing for boat repair and boat storage. As such, he believes the use permissions should be applied more generally. M. Fry: further stated that the requested additional uses are considered "Class 1 Uses" because they are low impact, low traffic and daytime uses. For these uses a minimum separation of 20 metres is required. Michael Fry added that new uses on the property would have to go through the Site Plan Approval process and any noise, vibration and odor studies could be evaluated at that time. Michael Fry handed out a copy of the Planning Justification Report to staff and Committee members. The applicants also displayed a diagram with a 20 -meter buffer surrounding the property to indicate the area of influence for requested "Class 1 Industrial Uses." G. Wallace: asked staff why in some instances the committee can add uses and not in others? For example, we have done this before on Baseline Road. H. Masood and S. Gattie: clarified that under Planning Act Section 45(2)(a) that the committee has the power to approve uses that are similar or legal non -conforming status. However, what the applicant is requesting is neither similar nor proven to be legal non -conforming. The permitted uses in the M2-2 Zone are site -specific and the general uses under the M2 Zone are not similar in nature. S. Gattie: clarified that the example on Baseline Road was a like -for -like use because childcare was a permitted use and the requested use was a daycare. That was considered a similar use so it could be approved through the Committee. Staff do not feel that the requested uses for this property are similar and they have not been proven to be legal non -conforming. M. Fry: noted that the Planning Act Section 45(1) speaks to whether a proposal meets the four tests of minor variance. However, that needs to be set aside for this proposal, and the Committee needs to determine whether the requested uses are similar and/or legal non -conforming. It is his interpretation that because boat repairs, boat storage and boat manufacturing and sales are permitted on the property and that the Zoning By -Law is not allowed to be so restrictive that the requested general uses of storage, repairs, manufacturing and sales are similar in nature. Therefore, it is his interpretation that it is within the Committee's power to approve these additional uses. Minutes — January 29, 2026 Page 14 Committee of Adjustment Meeting G. Wallace: noted that the three committee members online do not have copies of the Planning Justification Report. S. Gattie: clarified there was a clerical error and that the Planning Justification Report was not included in the circulation. N. Gamble: asked why this proposal is being done through Committee of Adjustment since staff had already advised the applicant of the appropriate applications such as a Zoning By -Law Application? R. Uukkivi: noted that they had previously applied for a minor variance, however staff had told them at the time that it was not the appropriate avenue and that they needed to apply for a Zoning By-law Amendment. However, the owner has now formally submitted a minor variance application and it is his lawyers legal opinion and the opinion of his planning consultant that permitted 9 new uses to the property can be done through Committee of Adjustment. It is up to the committee to decide if this is the appropriate avenue. M. Fry: reiterated his interpretation of Planning Act Section 45 that the existing uses are permitted to expand through the Committee of Adjustment that because the requested uses are, in his opinion, similar and/or legal non -conforming. S. Gattie: reiterated that there is no record that the property has legal non- conforming status and that it is the owner/applicant's responsibility to prove legal non- conforming. Additionally staff do not interpret the nine new requested uses as similar to the existing permitted uses on the property. R. Uukkivi: our legal opinion is that the applicant does not have to prove legal non- conforming status, but rather the person challenging (i.e. staff) would need to prove the property is not considered legal non -conforming. S. Pohjola: noted it is unfair to put the Committee in a position where it is not informed to make a decision. She recommended the application be tabled for 30 or 60 day so the Committee can review the Planning Justification Report, legal comments from the applicant and so staff can also receive further legal advice on the matter. D. Eastman: asked the applicant how they feel the 9 new requested uses are similar to boat repair and storage? W. Partner: agreed the uses are not similar. D. Eastman: continued that expanding to other uses and vehicles on the property does not seem similar. Minutes — January 29, 2026 Committee of Adjustment Meeting Page 15 M. Fry: reiterated his opinion that the Zoning By -Law is too restrictive and prohibitive. He feels it should be assumed that what council approved is actually broader than what is stated. Therefore boat storage, for example, should permit storage in general. R. Uukkivi: added the intensity of boat repair is similar, or even more, in intensity to repair of other vehicles. Often times it is even the same motor and the nature of the repair is identical. And so the technical use is similar. D. Eastman: noted that something like a farm implement is not similar at all to a boat. He continued to ask why the requested uses are being opened up so generally. And why has the applicant not chosen a specific use to expand to? He asked whether the owner plans to sell the property and if the requested uses are for the purpose of marketing the site? M. Fry: replied that he is not privy to the owners intentions after the application, but that the requested expansion of uses is to provide the owners greater opportunity. W. Partner: Can we ask Council what the intent was in approving the M2-2 Zone? S. Gattie: agreed if the application is tabled, they can ask what the intent was when the M2-2 Zone was approved. W. Partner: Is this property part of the Waterfront Strategy? S. Gattie: staff is not aware of any relation to the Waterfront Strategy. R. Uukkivi: answered that this is not part of the Waterfront Strategy aside from its proximity to the sewage plant. S. Gattie: noted that in the future could the applicants please send all documents to the Committee of Adjustment Email <cofa(�.clarington.net> to ensure it is included in the circulation.

Lake Onra Figure 1 — Lands Subject to Consent Application Page 3 Municipality of Clarington Committee of Adjustment A-2025-0010 and A-2025-0011 2. Background Page 4 2.1 On February 28, 2025, Planning Staff received a Consent Application and Minor Variance Application from the agent of 18 Rose Crescent, Newtonville. The proposed application is to facilitate the creation of a new rural resident lot. The intention of the applicant/owner is to sell the proposed severed parcel (see Figure 2).This application is in conjunction with a land division file B2025-001 1. 2.2 At the Committee of Adjustment Meeting on April 24, 2025, both the above noted minor variance applications and this consent application were tabled for a period of up to one year at the request of Durham Region Health and Durham Region Community Growth and Economic Development Department to conduct a peer review of the Hydrogeological study. This peer review is still underway. As such, staff are recommending this application be re -tabled for a period of up to one year to allow for the peer review to be completed. 2.3 The subject property as it is today, contains an existing accessory building, but no principal dwelling. The proposal intends to retain this accessory building on the newly created retained lot. However, Zoning By-law 84-63 does not permit accessory buildings on lots that do not contain a principal dwelling. Furthermore, accessory buildings/structures are accessory to a principal residential use and are not permitted by the Zoning By-law to be on a rural residential property unless a dwelling existed on the subject property. As a condition of the consent application, the applicant/owner will be required to demonstrate legal non -conforming of the existing accessory building was in existence prior to the passing of the former zoning by-law, Clarke By-law 1592, on May 28,1968 in order to retain the existing accessory building on the lot without a dwelling. 2.4 During a site visit conducted by Staff on April 10, 2025, it was observed that a shipping container was being stored at the rear of the accessory building on the subject property. According to Section 3.1.h) of Zoning By-law 84-63, shipping containers are not permitted to be used as accessory structures or stored on properties within the Municipality of Clarington. The owner confirmed the shipping container was removed in August 2025. 2.5 The applicant has shared email correspondence with staff regarding the timeline of the Hydrogeological Study peer review. The applicant also met with Staff on April 8, 2026 to provide an update and has actively been working with staff to prove legal non- conforming status of the accessory structure. 3. Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses 3.1 The subject property is located Southeast of Highway 2 on the north side of Rose Crescent (See Figure 1). The subject property has an area of 4,895.80 square metres and lot frontage of 107.9 metres. The surrounding uses are as follows: Municipality of Clarington Committee of Adjustment A-2025-0010 and A-2025-0011 • South — Rural Residential lots with single detached dwellings, Agricultural Farmlands and Highway 401; Page 5 • North- Rural Residential lots with single detached dwellings, commercial lands (i.e., Newtonville Country Store and a restaurant), and Agricultural Farmlands; • East — Rural Residential lots with single detached dwellings; and • West — Rural Residential lots with single detached dwelling, Lakeview Cemetery, and Agricultural Farmlands. 5. Public Notice and Submissions 5.1 Pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, the appropriate signage notifying of the application was installed on the subject lands. In addition, a public notice was mailed to each landowner within 60m of the subject lands. This application was tabled on April 24, 2025 for a period of up to one year. New signage was installed and additional mailouts were sent out in advance of the April 23, 2026 meeting. 5.2 At the time of writing this report, Staff have not received any written letters of opposition regarding the proposal. 6. Conclusion 6.1 That minor variance applications A2025-0010 and A2025-0011, be tabled for a period of up to one year and no later then April 2027 to allow for the peer review of the Hydrogeological Study to be completed.

The purpose of Consent Application B2025-001 1 is to seek consent to facilitate the creation of a new 2,448.5 square metre rural residential lot with a lot frontage of 48.02 metres (Part 2 on the draft reference plan) while retaining a 2,447.3 square metre rural residential lot with a lot frontage of 59.88 metres (Part 1 on the draft reference plan). The proposed severed parcel will support the creation of a single detached dwelling. 3. Public notification was conducted in accordance with the Planning Act which included signage being installed on the subject site and a mail out to all property owners within 60 metres of the subject site. Please note that the purpose of consent application on the signage and mailout indicated that the proposed retained parcel contains an existing single detached dwelling, this is a clerical error as there is no single detached dwelling on the proposed retained parcel except an existing accessory building and shipping container. The purpose of the consent application has been revised in the Staff Report. Minutes —April 24, 2025 Page 2 Committee of Adjustment Meeting 4. At the time of writing the staff report, no comments were received in support or opposition from the applicant from members of the public. 5.

Based on the Regional Health comments, staff recommend tabling of the consent application for a period of up to one (1) year and no later than April 2026.

The owner/agent states that they have read and agreed to the conditions of the Staff's recommendation. Following the presentation, the Committee did not raise any questions or concerns. Chair T Taylor deferred a question to staff from L Farrow. L Farrow asked a question to Planning Staff — The Region informed me that I had 2 years to complete this, and Clarington Staff are saying 1 year? J Circo responded — Correct, the consent application is recommended to be tabled for 1 year to address the peer review request by the Regional Municipality of Durham for the hydrogeological study that you had submitted with your consent application. L Farrow asked a question to Planning Staff — What about the environmental site assessment that I am working on getting completed for the consent application? J Circo responded — At this time, the Municipality is not requiring that you have 1 year to have your environmental site assessment study done, the consent application is only being tabled for 1 year to address the peer review request by the Regional Municipality of Durham for the hydrogeological study that you had submitted with your consent application, to be done at the satisfaction of the Municipality of Clarington and Regional Municipality of Durham Health Department.

The second and third applications before the Committee this evening are Files B2025- 0012 -to -B2025-0013 for 5 Lynwood Avenue, Courtice. 2. The purpose of the consent applications B2025 -0012 -to -B2025-0013 is to seek consent to facilitate the creation of two new residential lots. Part 1 of the draft reference plan is the retained parcel with a lot frontage 21.34 metres and a lot area of 682.8 square metres.

Part 3 has a lot frontage of 12.19 metres and a lot area of 390.08 square metres. The existing single detached dwelling and accessory buildings on the subject property will be demolished. 3.

No comments were received in opposition to the application from external agencies or internal departments. Minutes —April 24, 2025 Committee of Adjustment Meeting Page 2 5. At the time of writing this report, Staff have received a letter from a neighbor in opposition to the consent and minor variance applications. Concerns were related to the lot sizes and the impact on their property. 6. Staff recommends that consent applications B2025 -0012 -to -B2025-0013 be approved subject to the conditions noted in the staff report. Discussion: D LeBlanc spoke in opposition to both consent applications. D LeBlanc shared concerns regarding the proposed parceling of two properties adjacent to their home. The resident noted that the area in question encompasses the backyard of the neighboring property and runs alongside their own home. They stated that, based on grandfathered zoning rights —particularly relating to 5 Lynwood Avenue —no additional housing was permitted to be developed on the subject property. This restriction was reportedly due to existing sewer infrastructure along the property's frontage on Lynwood Avenue. D Eastman asked a question to Staff — Based on D Hickey's comments, can Staff comment on the sewers that run along Lynwood Avenue, and clarify if there is holding on the zoning on the subject property? J Circo responded — Yes, water and sanitary servicing is available off the portion of the property having frontage along Westmore Street to service the proposed retained and severed parcels. Furthermore, there is no holding symbol on the zoning of the property. Our Development Engineering Division has no concerns with regards to the proposed consent applications from an infrastructure/servicing standpoint. Luke and Jonah Szent-Ivany spoke and provided an overview of the application. The owner/agent states that they have read and agreed to the conditions of the Staff's recommendation. Following the presentation, the Committee did not raise any questions or concerns.

Application Details Page 3 1.1 Owner: Monica Hoy 1.2 Applicant: Bob Martindale, Martindale Planning Services 1.3 Proposal: A Minor Variance application to facilitate severance application B2025-0030. The application proposes to: a. legalize the reduced interior yard setback on the severed piece from the coach house to the northerly property line to 0.5 metres; b. reduce the rear yard setback on retained piece from 7.5 metres to 3.5 metres. 1.4 Area of Lot: 62 Concession Street West is .36 hectares. The lot sizes with the proposed severance are as follows: Part 1 (severed lot): 0.045 hectares; Part 2 (retained lot): 0.324 hectares. 1.5 Location: 1.6 Zoning: 1.7 Regional Official Plan Designation: 1.8 Clarington Official Plan Designation: 1.9 Heritage Status 1.10 Water, Sewage and Storm Servicing: 62 Concession Street West, Bowmanville, ON "Urban Residential Type One (R1)" within the Neighborhood Character Overlay of Zoning By -Law 84- 63 "Community Area" "Urban Residential" On Register Municipal Municipality of Clarington Committee of Adjustment A2025-0049 Page 4 O . lED 10 S — ❑ Odell Street O _ O4; CON: Z .CON: -2 --i i Concession Street W - __n _ L ❑ Q LOT: 11 (I) LJ N LOT: 12 = co' N'1 IF CON: 1 c7 ❑ m Property Location Map (Bowmanville) Area Subject To Minor Variance u" 62 Concession Street West, Bowmanville S A2025-0049 X 3 a � �� rteym�ai as z Figure 1: Property Location Map Municipality of Clarington Committee of Adjustment A2025-0049 2. Background Page 5 2.1 In April 2022, a pre -consultation meeting was held regarding severing the parcel into four parts. It was determined through this meeting that a Consent Application and Minor Variance Applications would be required to sever the property and to meet the provisions and regulations of the Urban Residential Type One Zone. 2.2 The applicants submitted a Minor Variance Application (A2025-0049) and a Consent Application (B2025-0030) on December 15, 2025. Upon receipt in December, Staff understood the application was to sever three parts of the lot to create three new lots residential lots as per the discussion at the pre -consultation meeting. On January 12, 2026, Staff confirmed with the applicants that the current application is to only sever Part 1 of the property where the coach house exists. Consent applications for the additional lots will be received at a future date. 2.3 At the time of the application, the existing coach house on Part 1 (severed lot) was not located on the provided site plan to complete a fulsome review. On January 23, 2026, Staff received a partial site plan that included the location of the existing coach house on Part 1 (severed lot) but did not include the full subject property and Staff could still not conduct a fulsome review. 2.4 Both applications were heard at the Committee of Adjustment Hearing on January 29, 2026. There were discrepancies between the provided survey and the consent proposal; Community Planning — Heritage requested a heritage study for the coach house and there were additional questions regarding the coach house that needed to be clarified. As such, Staff recommended that both applications be tabled for a period of up to 60 days following the receipt of requested information to allow for further discussions between the applicant and staff. 2.5 The applicant met with Staff on February 23 to provide an updated site plan including the existing structures, an updated Draft R Plan (see Attachment 5), the Heritage Impact Assessment (see Attachment 6) and clarify remaining issues regarding the accessory structure (see Attachment 7). As noted in 2.2 of this report, disregard the two proposed lots along Concession Street West within this attachment. The applicant has also confirmed that they are not proceeding with the proposed new garage shown within this attachment at this time. 2.6 Accessory structures cannot exist as stand-alone structures; they must be accessory to a primary dwelling. Therefore, should the Committee deem it appropriate to approve the application, it is a condition of approval that the owner meet all Ontario Building Code requirements to register the coach house as a primary dwelling. 2.7 Additionally, should the committee deem it appropriate to approve the minor variance application and not the consent application, the coach house should meet all requirements of the Building Department to register the coach house as an Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU) as it contains a kitchen and washroom. Municipality of Clarington Committee of Adjustment A2025-0049 Page 6 2.8 As the property is on Clarington's Heritage Registry a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) was conducted. The conditions within the Municipality's Community Planning — Heritage comments must be met. This includes the owner working with the Community Planning Heritage Planner and Clarington's Heritage Committee to designate the coach house under Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. 2.9 At the Clarington Heritage Committee meeting on April 21, 2026, the Committee will be considering the designation of the coach house as well as the overall development proposal before it this evening. Accordingly, as a condition of approval, the property owner shall be required to obtain a motion from the Clarington Heritage Committee confirming that the Committee's requirements have been met as outlined in the conditions. 3. Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses 3.1 The subject property is located on Concession Street West (See Figure 1). The property's lot area is approximately 3696.90 metres squared. 3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows: a. South — single detached dwellings b. North — single detached dwellings c. East — single detached dwellings d. West — single detached dwellings 4. Public Notice and Submissions 4.1 Pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, the appropriate signage notifying of the application was installed on the subject lands. In addition, the appropriate notice was mailed to each landowner within 60m of the subject site. This application was tabled at the January 29, 2026 Committee of Adjustment meeting. New signage and an additional mailout were sent in advance of the April 23, 2026 Committee of Adjustment meeting. 4.2 At the time of writing this report, Staff have received three inquiries regarding this proposal. The nature of the inquiries was simply to clarify the nature of the applications. Municipality of Clarington Committee of Adjustment A2025-0049 5. Discussion Maintain the general intent and purpose of the Clarington Official Plan Page 7 5.1 The subject property is designated Urban Residential within the Clarington Official Plan. 5.2 According to policy 9.3.1 of the Clarington Official Plan "the predominant use of lands designated Urban Residential shall be for housing purposes." The proposed use meets the intent and purpose of the Clarington Official Plan. The minor variance to the lot area will not impact the land use and the subject property will still be used for residential purposes. 5.3 The coach house on the property is on Clarington's Heritage Register. Within the conditions of approval for this application are that the applicant must take heed to the comments provided by the Community Planning Heritage Planner, work with Staff to designate the coach house as a designated heritage property and fulfill any requirements and requests of the Heritage Committee. 5.4 It is Staff's opinion that the application meets the intent and purpose of the Clarington Official Plan, provided that all conditions of this application are fulfilled. Maintains the general intent and purpose the Zoning By-law 84-63 5.5 The subject property is zoned "Urban Residential (R1)" within Zoning By -Law 84-63. The subject property also falls within the Neighborhood Character Overlay area in Bowmanville. 5.6 The R1 Zone requires a minimum interior yard setback of 4.5 metres to a dwelling or 0.6 metres to an accessory structure. The coach house is an existing accessory structure that the applicants are proposing to sever and use it as a primary dwelling. As such, this minor variance is to legalize the reduced 0.5 metres interior yard setback from the existing coach house on Part 2 (severed lot) to the northerly property line. The intent and purpose of the minimum interior yard lot line is to ensure enough space for drainage and privacy between neighboring properties. There are existing trees providing privacy. The coach house is an existing structure, and Clarington's Development Engineering Division has not raised drainage as a concern. It is Staff's opinion that the reduced interior yard setback maintains the intent and purpose of the provision. 5.7 The R1 Zone requires a minimum rear yard setback of 7.5 metres. The application proposes to reduce the rear yard setback 3.5 metres on Part 2 (retained lot). This means the distance between the existing dwelling and the new rear yard setback proposed as part of Consent Application B2025-0030 is 3.5 metres. The intent and purpose of the minimum rear yard setback is to ensure adequate outdoor amenity space on the property and privacy of all residents. Given the rear year setback is 3.5 meters there is still an adequate setback to ensure privacy from neighbouring properties. Given the size of the lot, outdoor amenity space is not a concern. It is Staff's opinion that the reduced rear yard setback maintains the intent and purpose of the provision. Municipality of Clarington Committee of Adjustment A2025-0049 Page 8 5.8 For the above stated reasons, it is Staff's opinion that the application maintains the intent and purpose of Zoning By -Law 84-63. Desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure 5.9 The proposed minor variance and consent applications would allow for the preservation and usage of a building on the Heritage Register, gently intensifies the neighborhood by facilitating the creation of a new lot without large changes to or negatively impacting the neighborhood. 5.10 For the above stated reasons, it is Staff's opinion that the minor variance requested is appropriate development, and use of the land, building, and structure. Minor in Nature 5.11 There are no planned new structures or changes to the streetscape through this proposal. 5.12 The proposed reduced interior yard setback on Part 1 (severed lot) is only to legalize the existing small distance between the coach house and the interior yard. 5.13 While the proposed reduced rear yard setback on Part 2 (retained lot) reduces the rear yard setback by approximately 53% there is adequate outdoor amenity space in the front, exterior and interior yard of Part 2. 5.14 As the coach house is an existing structure on the property, there is already access to the coach house from High Street. Thus, there will be no changes to the streetscape along Concession Street West or High Street. 5.15 For the above stated reasons, it is Staff's opinion that the proposed variance is minor in nature. 6. Conclusion 6.1 Staff recommend that application A2025-0049, fora Minor Variance to Section 12.1 to a) legalize the reduced interior yard setback on the severed piece from the coach house to the northerly property line to 0.5 metres. b) reduce the rear yard setback on retained piece from 7.5 metres to 3.5 metres be approved, subject to the below conditions, as it maintains the general intent and purpose of the Clarington Official Plan, and the Zoning By-law 84-63, is desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, and is minor in nature. 6.2 Should the Committee deem it appropriate to approve the application, Staff would request that the approval be conditional upon the owner, applicant or agent fulfilling the following conditions. Municipality of Clarington Committee of Adjustment A2025-0049 7. Requirements: Page 9 7.1 If the associated consent application B2025-0030 is approved, the owner must meet all Ontario Building Code requirements to register the coach house as a primary dwelling. 7.2 Additionally, should the committee deem it appropriate to approve this minor variance application and not the associated consent application B2025-0030, the owner must apply for the applicable permits with Clarington's Building Division to ensure the coach house is recognized as an Additional Dwelling Unit (ADU). 7.3 That the owner satisfies all the requirements of the Community Planning — Heritage Department as detailed in the comment letter dated March 24, 2026 (Attachments 4 and 5). To ensure all requirements are fulfilled a motion from Clarington's Heritage Committee shall be provided, and shall include: 7.4 Revisions to the Heritage Impact Assessment; 7.5 Working with the Community Planning Department and Heritage Committee to designate the coach house on the property; and 7.6 To address any new items arising from the Heritage Committee comments from the April 21, 2026, Heritage Committee Meeting to the satisfaction of the Heritage Committee.

Bowmanville Applicant: Bob Martindale File: B2025-0030; A2025-0049 Proposal Consent and minor variance applications to facilitate the creation of 3 new residential lots as proposed as Part 1, Part 3, and Part 4 (Severed Lots) on the Draft Reference Plan. Part 1 will have a lot frontage of 15.5 metres, with an approximate depth of 30.82 metres, and a lot area of approximate 445 square metres. Parts 3 and 4 will have lot frontages of 15 metres, have approximate depths of 30.7 metres, and a lot area of 457 square metres. Notwithstanding the information provided, Development Review staff has confirmed the applicant is proposing to sever only Part 1 at this time and retain the remainder of the property under the subject application. A separate consent application would be submitted in the future to consider the severance of Parts 3 and 4. Appropriate comments will be provided at that time. Heritage Planning Comments The subject property is identified as having potential cultural heritage value or interest and is listed on the Municipal Heritage Register under section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act. A pre -consultation meeting for the proposal was held in 2022, during which the cultural heritage value of the property —including the main house, coach house, and the designation of the retained lands (PC2022-007)—was discussed. A Heritage Impact Assessment is required in support of the proposed application to evaluate the cultural heritage value or interest of the property for designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, and to assess the potential impacts of the proposed development. A copy of Clarington's HIA Terms of Reference is attached. The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington, 40 Temperance Street, Bowmanville, ON L1 C 3A6 1-800-563-1195 i Local: 905-623-3379 i info@clarington.net I www.clarington.net Clarington MEMO Properties on the Municipal Register and Cultural Heritage Resources List are subject to the cultural heritage policies of the Clarington Official Plan, which requires buildings in existing built-up areas to be compatible and consistent with the surrounding buildings and streetscape in terms of building materials, height, width, scale, colour, setbacks, and design, including doors, windows and rooflines. The property was included in the Heritage Conservation District Background Study in 2005. This Study resulted in the Old Bowmanville (North Ward) Heritage Guidelines, which provide guidance to properties in the study area when considering plans for construction and/or alteration of buildings, structures, and landscaping. The Guidelines state the relationship between the existing building and its presence on the street should not be altered. Regardless of the size of the lot or the extent of the front yard, severances should not be permitted where they have the effect of permitting a new house to be placed in front of an existing house. Construction of buildings or structures on newly created lots or vacant lots will be required to have regard for the character of adjoining properties and the streetscape. Each new structure should be built in a manner that avoids replication of a single style or building material throughout the neighbourhood. It is requested that building permit applications for the proposed severed lot(s) be reviewed by the Municipality for architectural and urban design compliance in accordance with the Old Bowmanville (North Ward) Heritage Guidelines (April 2006). This condition is intended to maintain and enhance views to and from the heritage home at 62 Concession Street West and to preserve the character of the surrounding neighbourhood. Existing vegetation should be retained and protected to the extent possible. To this end, a Tree Preservation and Protection Plan is requested. Landscaping and fencing on severed lot(s) shall be consistent with the Old Bowmanville (North Ward) Heritage Guidelines (April 2006). Appropriate clauses and/or conditions must be included in the consent agreement to address the requirements as noted. cc.

Bowmanville; 2 Submission Applicant: Bob Martindale File: B2025-0030; A2025-0049 In addition to my previous correspondence of January 29, 2026, which continues to apply, I have now reviewed the recently submitted Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA), dated September 2022, prepared by Martindale Planning Services, submitted in support of the subject applications. The following additional heritage planning comments are provided: The proposed applications and supporting HIA will be circulated to the Clarington Heritage Committee for consideration and comment. Any comments provided by the Committee will be shared after its next meeting on April 21, 2026. The HIA identifies the property as 'the best designed High Victorian house in Bowmanville and together with the grounds and exceptional fine coach house, it is also the best preserved'. The HIA demonstrates the property has sufficient cultural heritage value or interest (CHVI) to meet design, historical, and contextual criteria under Ontario Regulation 9/06, and as such, the HIA recommends the property warrants designation under s. 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act OHA). Section 3.0 (Statement of Significance) outlines the significance of the property, which includes the carriage house (also referred to as the coach house) as a contributing attribute. However, Section 6.0 (Impact of Development on Heritage Attributes) does not address the carriage house. Section 6.0 of the HIA should be revised to address impacts of the proposed severance of the carriage house on the CHVI of the property. The HIA should be revised to make recommendations as to how the Statement of Significance and subsequent designation by-law(s) should apply to and address the retained property and the proposed carriage house property, should the proposed severance be approved. The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington, 40 Temperance Street, Bowmanville, ON L1 C 3A6 1-800-563-1195 i Local: 905-623-3379 i info@clarington.net I www.clarington.net Clarington MEMO Section 8.0 (Conservation Strategy) of the HIA notes `since it satisfies all of the criteria for designation outlined in Ontario Regulation 9/06, it certainly merits designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act'. Staff agrees with the Section 8.0 statement that 'it is imperative that the design of new buildings be in keeping with the design of not only the existing heritage house but others along Concession Street'. In accordance with the HIA Terms of Reference, the HIA should provide clear recommendations for the appropriate course of action for the subject property and the established cultural heritage resource. Staff supports designation of the subject property under Part IV, section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, including the severed and retained lands, as a condition of approval of the proposed consent application. It is requested that the Consent Agreement include the following cultural heritage conditions: That the subject property be designated under Part IV, section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. That the applicant continues to work with Planning and Infrastructure Services Department to revise the Heritage Impact Assessment, as required, and to finalize the statement of significance and contributing attributes, in consultation with the Clarington Heritage Committee, prior to proceeding with a report to Council recommending designation. That prior to the issuance of any building permits for development on either the severed or retained lands, the siting, architecture, and design of all infill development shall be reviewed for compliance with the Old Bowmanville (North Ward) Heritage Guidelines to the satisfaction of the Planning and Infrastructure Services Department, in consultation with the Clarington Heritage Committee, to ensure that the proposed development does not adversely impact the heritage character of the property. That landscaping and fencing on severed lot(s) shall be consistent with the Old Bowmanville (North Ward) Heritage Guidelines (April 2006).

This report documents the historical and architectural significance of the property and examines the likely impact on the heritage attributes of the property of creating three new lots (at the northwest corner, the southwest corner, and the southeast corner). Our findings resulted in the conclusion that (a) 62 Concession Street should be designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage significance, as it meets the criteria for designation listed in Ontario Regulation 9/06; and (b) the proposed severances will have no adverse impact on the McArthur House or the surrounding lots in the area, because the vista of the heritage house from Concession Street will not change. The retained lot will maintain an ample frontage, with no mature trees or vegetation in front of the structure being lost due to the severances. Following careful review of the heritage implications of the severances, we are of the opinion that there are no mitigation strategies or follow-up plans required for the subject property because there are no alterations planned to the exterior of the house nor to the extensive landscaping in front of the house.

Martindale Planning Services was retained to prepare this report, required by the Municipality of Clarington, in late 2021 and the research was undertaken during the spring and summer of 2022. The methodology included site inspections, reviewing municipal and archival records as noted in the Sources Consulted, and interviewing the owner and building consultants associated with the property, as well as members of the Clarington Branch of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario. The property to which this cultural assessment applies is municipally known as 62 Concession St., Bowmanville and is legally described as part of Lot 11, Concession 2, formerly in the Township of Darlington and now in the Municipality of Clarington. (A location plan in the form of a site map and aerial photograph is attached as Figure 1). The subject property has a frontage of 55.1 m on Concession St. with flankages of 67.1 m on High St. to the west and Burk Ct. to the east. It is generally flat with mature coniferous trees along the easterly, northerly and westerly lot lines. Dominating the property is the McArthur House, built c. 1882 and generally regarded as the best -designed High Victorian home in Bowmanville. It faces Concession St. and has access from both Concession St. in the form of a U-shaped driveway, and High St. on the west. The High St. entrance also provides access to a secondary residence (also known as the coach house) on the property, located behind the main house. The McArthur House is described in detail in the book entitled Bowmanville: An Architectural & Social History 1794 —1999 written by Diana Grandfield, as follows: Francis McArthur was the manager of the Upper Canada Furniture Co. in 1879 when he built this handsome house on a property he had recently purchased. The sophisticated plan bears a striking resemblance to the best of the High Victorian houses designed by Smith and Gemmel of Toronto, who may well have been the architects. The irregular facade is accentuated with many elaborate details. Most outstanding are the polychromatic brickwork, the extensive use of gingerbread, the ornately decorated verandah, and the tall wrought iron finials at the gable peaks. This is the best designed High Victorian house in Bowmanville and, together with the grounds and exceptionally fine coach house, the best preserved. Of Scottish descent and considerable wealth, McArthur, before taking over the management of the furniture company had owned a thriving dry goods business. The company buildings located on Lord Elgin Street were just north of where the CPR tracks are today. Early pictures show three large buildings, a three -storey factory building, a two -storey varnishing shop, and a two -storey warehouse as well as a myriad of outbuildings. During the late eighties the business ran into Martindale Planning Services September, 2022 CHIA — 62 Concession St. financial trouble, and in 1880 the factory closed. The loss of so many jobs was a severe blow to the economy of the town. When St. Paul's Presbyterian Church was under construction in 1871, McArthur was the treasurer. He was Mayor in 1875 and again from 1880 to 1883. After the failure of his business, he moved to Toronto where he died in 1915. The factory on Elgin Street burned down in 1892. The subject property is not designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, but is included in the Municipal Register of Cultural Heritage Resources. The location map/aerial photo (Figure 1), which outlines the primary residence and the coach house behind it, includes a number of surrounding heritage properties that are graded according to their architectural significance. 62 Concession Street is one of many properties in Clarington that are not designated but have been recognized by the municipality as having cultural heritage value. The following section, entitled "Background Research and Analysis," describes in detail the heritage context, provides a list of owners and their importance to the local community and thoroughly documents all heritage resources within the subject property, including cultural heritage landscapes, structures, building elements and materials, architectural features and heritage attributes. It is followed by a Statement of Significance identifying the cultural heritage value of the property in accordance with Regulation 9/06 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The Statement of Significance is followed by sections assessing the existing condition of the two buildings on the site, a description of the proposed severances of three lots which necessitated the preparation of this report, an evaluation of the impact of development on the heritage attributes, a description of considered alternatives and mitigation strategies and a conservation strategy to guide the future management of the property. Special thanks are extended to Jane Clark and Jacquie Villeneuve who provided the Background Research and Analysis and Statement of Significance sections of this report, and David Veenstra, who provided the Building Condition section. Martindale Planning Services September, 2022 4 CH IA — 62 Concession St. 2.0 Background Research and Analysis 2.1 Planning Context The property is located in a residential area that was part of the former North Ward, and now falls within Ward 2. The property is bounded on three sides by local roads. This area, a few blocks north of the historic downtown, is itself rich with architectural history. This is indicated by the fact there are at least eight Part IV -designated properties in the immediate vicinity, including two on the same street as McArthur House (14 and 26 Concession St West). As shown on the maps below, 62 Concession St West is a property included on the Municipal Register in 2019 by Clarington Council as having cultural heritage value. The property is in good company, heritage -wise, as the northern boundary of Clarington's Beech Avenue Heritage Conservation District (HCD), which comprises fourteen properties, is directly across the street (the area is outlined in black in the Heritage Conservation District boundary map). One of the HCD properties, 40 Beech Ave., the former gatehouse for the Rathskamory Estate at #26 Beech, is also directly opposite McArthur House across Concession Street. The gatehouse is almost certainly the only remaining structure of its kind and former function in Bowmanville. -AWARD Belden Atlas, 1878. Subject property indicated by red arrow ("W.K.

Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 7 CH IA — 62 Concession St. In the 2003 Unterman-McPhail report investigating a possible HCD for the area, the "block inventory" describes this section of Concession Street, from Beech Ave/Burk Court west to Elgin, as follows: Road alignment is straight with boulevards and sidewalks on both sides of the street. The block is intersected by High Street on the north side; no cross streets on the south side. Five detached residences front on the north side. One large estate, No. 62, occupies the block between Burke [sic] Court and High Street. There are four detached residences on the south side; the corner lots front on the side streets. Building heights range from 1 to 2 %2 storeys; setbacks and lot sizes vary. Construction Period: 1850-1899: four; 1900-1945: three. Of these, six are brick and one is frame (No. 74). Notable Landscape Features: Recent streetscape work includes traffic calming measures and planting of trees on boulevards; mature trees in front yards; extensive grounds at No. 62 with gravel circular drive. Landmark Properties/Features: No. 62 ('McArthur House') and No. 74 (Avoca Cottage). Historical Associations (if known): Rathskamory Estate (1855); Fire Insurance Plan (1911). Recognized (Designated/Listed) Properties: Primary: Nos. 62 ("McArthur House") and 74 ("Avoca Cottage"). Secondary: 65. Heritage Merit: Nos. 59, 63, 69 and 82. The house is centrally situated on its large lot (.91 acres), on a slight rise, and is now partly obscured from the surrounding roads by extensive hedges, trees, and shrubs, especially from the east and west streets (High St. and Burk Court), which lead to newer suburban developments. 2.2 Chronological History of Site The Clarington area and Bowmanville itself are situated within the traditional and treaty territory of the Mississaugas and Chippewa of the Anishinaabeg, known today as the Williams Treaty First Nations. Originally known as Darlington Mills, the Town of Bowmanville—named after Charles Bowman, a businessman based in Montreal who never actually resided in the town that bore his name —was created in 1858. The town was incorporated into the Town of Newcastle as part of the creation of Durham Region in 1974, and was renamed the Municipality of Clarington in 1994. The first settlers are understood to have been three United Empire Loyalist (UEL) families, the Conants, Trulls, and Burks, who arrived in 1794 and quickly established the first mills, which led to the town's rapid growth. Bowmanville was once an important industrial centre, and the Dominion Organ and Piano Company was one of the largest employers, along with the Upper Canada Furniture Company, the mills, including the Cream of Barley mill, and the harbour that made them possible. The furniture company and the piano company and their respective fates feature in the stories of at least two of the 62 Concession St. property owners. The furniture company was located just a short block away, on what was then called Lord Elgin St, near the present-day CPR tracks. In 1901, the success of the piano company attracted Christian Rehder (who later lived nearby at 5 Beech Ave.) and his partner Harry Linton to the area to open Bowmanville Foundry, which made metal parts for the pianos. Another, later major employer was the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 8 CH IA — 62 Concession St. The arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1912 was also a boon to the community, although the route, which passes a short distance north of Concession Street and the subject property, necessitated the demolition or relocation of a number of homes. The planned extension of the Metrolinx Lakeshore line may once again bring a passenger rail station to the Scugog— Wellington—Concession Street neighbourhood. As described in Diana Grandfield's Bowmanville: An Architectural and Social History 1794-1999, the area that now includes 62 Concession Street West was first developed as part of the Rathskamory Estate. The 2006 Beech Avenue Heritage Conservation District Plan, pp 3-4, paints a picture of how the area developed: Rathskamory was a ten -acre parcel extending from Concession Street West to the north, Centre Street to the east, Lowe Street to the south, and Horsey and Lowe to the west...The Concession and Lowe Street entrance both supported gate houses, one of which still remains at the northwest corner of Concession Street West and Beech Avenue at 40 Beech Avenue. A Regency villa was built on the Rathskamory estate in 1843 for George Humphrey Low... As [the Lows] did not have children to inherit the property, it was sold to James William McLaughlin. James was the brother of Robert McLaughlin who founded the McLaughlin Motor Car Co. which later became General Motors of Canada. James McLaughlin was also a doctor, and it was he who initiated the development of Beech Avenue. Shortly after acquiring the property he sold the part of Block 35 which covered the east side of Beech Avenue extending eastward to Centre Street. John McClung purchased the Block and created twenty lots, ten on the east side of Beech Avenue and ten on the west side of Centre Street. The date...was sometime between...1873 and the construction of the first house on Beech Avenue in 1878, 27 Beech Avenue, which was named Drumralla, meaning at the crest of the hill, one of two buildings on the street that are designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. Drumralla was built for William F. Allen who was the mayor of Bowmanville from 1890 to 1892. The severances of the west side of Beech Avenue began in 1886 when Dr. McLaughlin sold the property at 8 Beech Avenue to Dr. Solomon Hillier. Dr. Hillier built a house that he named Ravenscraig at some point between 1886 and 1889. The Rathskamory gatehouse at 40 Beech Avenue was severed from the estate in the late 1870s. The two lots between Rathskamory and the gatehouse were developed in the early 1900s. Prior to the construction of McArthur House, the land at 62 Concession Street was owned by the Burk family from 1869 to 1882, who likely used it as farmland (see 1878 Belden Atlas), and who do not appear to have built on it. The house and coach house are original to the property, built by the McArthurs, but the street to the east, Burk Court, was added later. It is possible that the two lots to the rear (north) of the house may have also been a part of the original property. There have been some interior updates to the house (kitchen, bathrooms, heating system, etc.); however, it appears the original plans of the house and coach house are unaltered. Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 CH IA — 62 Concession St. 2.3 Description of Site Owners March 28, 1812: Crown to Samuel Gardner Crown land is granted. While no records pertaining to Samuel Gardner in direct association with Bowmanville have been found, there is a record of a Captain Samuel Gardner being installed in 1795 as an Officer and charter member of the Freemasons Lodge #2 under Provincial Grand Master William Jarvis. (The lodge met in Queenston, Ontario, in the Niagara area. Laura Secord's husband, James, was also a member of this lodge.) Gardner is initially listed as "R.W. [Right Worshipful] Samuel Gardner, J.G.W. [Junior Grand Warden]," and later that year as "Worshipful Master" (the senior officer of the lodge). Records show that some of Gardner's fellow lodge members were officers in the infamous (Colonel John) Butler's Rangers, a United Empire Loyalist (UEL) provincial military unit of the American Revolutionary War. As many UEL soldiers and officers were later provided with grants of Crown land in recognition of their service on England's behalf in both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, it is possible that Captain Gardner received an 1812 grant for that reason in Bowmanville. More research is required to confirm this, however. t1sTOSY OI tb$L.I....wNY IX CANADA. _,63 L..t►r.n Prdeltr.l to m..1 is t1., latter In Ike •Psr.ry puratat.o c.rd.tt.w -1 the <nunit, as that dote the le► icoy m.g-ttt k coo.derr4 the tam.

From The History of Freemasonry in Canada (Google Books.ca) Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 10 CHIA — 62 Concession St. March 16, 1813: Effelina Freeman sells the property to Allan McLean Effelina Freeman was born around 1790 (once source claims May 1, 1790, but there is some conflicting information with that of her brother, John Freeman, who is documented as being born the same year). She was the daughter of Thomas J. Freeman and Elizabeth Granzer. It is likely that her parents were from New York state, and later settled in Canada with their estimated nine children. Little is known about Effelina Freeman directly, although her name appears to be an homage to her paternal grandmother, Efellanah Freeman (maiden name unknown). Although there is no record of Effelina purchasing the property, only the date of sale, it is assumed that this was land only, without a dwelling upon it. Allan McLean: Although no definitive information could be located about an Allan McLean having ties to Bowmanville, there was a politician and lawyer by the same name, the Honourable Allan McLean (1752-1847), who was born in Argyll, Scotland, and settled in Kingston, Ontario. He was the first lawyer in 1794 to be authorized to practise in Kingston. McLean was registrar for Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, Prince Edward, and Hastings Counties. As a barrister, he was supposedly granted 1200 acres of land, and it is possible this parcel and the land upon which 62 Concession St W currently stands are one and the same. There are two possible references to someone of this name in The Townships of Darlington and Clarke (1927), where it notes "Alan [sic] McLean of Kingston donated money to the English Church," and more intriguingly due to the notoriety of the buyer: "Benj. Lett bought Lot 27, Concession 7, April 18, 1834 from A. McLean." Benjamin Lett (1813-1858) was a disciple of William Lyon Mackenzie and was involved in the unrest of 1837. His family moved to Darlington Township from Ireland in 1833. Lett was accused of a long list of bombings and even murder. Feb 21, 1829: Allan McLean sells to William Preston William Preston (1792-1842) was born in Cambridge, New York, to Benjamin Preston and Dorcas Brown. As the youngest of four children, William was raised by his father, as his mother Dorcas died at the age of 27, when William was only one year old. William Preston married Barbara Potter (1787-1847) in Hope, Ontario (possibly Port Hope, because of proximity) in 1811 at the age of 19, ' f` (p Y gx- having moved to Canada sometime before. Together, they had two children, Elias Preston (1812-1886) and William C. Preston Jr (1814- 1889). William is buried at Wolford Rural Cemetery in Jasper, in the £." t.• United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, Ontario. - - a_ After William Preston's death, his eldest son Elias took over title to the property and sold it in 1844. From findagrave.com. Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 11 CH IA — 62 Concession St. May 6, 1844: Elias Preston sells to George H. Low George Humphrey Low (1790-1865) was born in in Tullylost, Kildare, Ireland. He was a very ambitious man, being both a lawyer (called to the bar before his 25th birthday), as well as a medical doctor. He was said to be "a kind genial individual and very charitable to the deserving poor" (Ontario Genealogy, Bowmanville in the 50's). He was also a Fellow of the world-wide, still -active Royal Geographical Society (F.R.G.S.), based in London, which includes members from a wide range of professional backgrounds, united by a passion for geography. To be a Fellow, one must have a "sufficient involvement in geography or allied subject through training, professional work, research, publications, or other work of a similar nature" (Royal Geographical Society). On March 4, 1816, George H. Low married Helena Maria Murphy (1783--1873) in Belfast, Ireland. Helena was born in Ferbane, Laois, Ireland, to the Rev. Samuel Murphy. In 1823, the Lows reside in Kildare, Ireland. It appears that the Lows arrived in Canada in 1833. As early as 1837, George H. Low can be found in the Toronto Directory as being a resident of Whitby, at 20 Concession 2. In 1838, Low holds the rank of Captain of the Whitby Independent Volunteers in the Canadian Militia. One of his responsibilities was to document and distribute military allowances, in the roll of "Paymaster." In 1843, George Low had a grand residence built at 26 Beech Ave, Bowmanville. He called the estate mansion "Rathskamory" (sometimes incorrectly spelled "Rathskamery"). The mansion and one gatehouse still stand, and the mansion now operates as the Bowmanville Older Adult Association. George H. Low died on September 27, 1865, and is buried at Bowmanville Cemetery, along with his wife, Helena. This 2013 article on Dr. Low is by Charles Taw, in the Clarington Promoter: [George H. Low] was the first resident doctor in the southern part of Ontario County living between Whitby and Oshawa before moving to Bowmanville. Diana Grandfield in her book Bowmanville: An Architectural and Social History 1794-1999 sums up nicely what we know about him: "Until anaesthetics were in common use, surgeons were judged not only by their skill, but by their speed. Apparently. Dr. Low was exceptional and in demand well beyond the confines of Bowmanville." He lived here in grand style with servants and entertained lavishly. He led a distinguished life and was active in religious, political and military affairs. One incident concerning Dr. Low takes place during the Rebellion of 1837. Early one morning John Burk of Bowmanville was awakened to find his house surrounded by soldiers lead by Dr. Low. Rumour had it that the notorious rebel Ben Lett was being hidden in the house and Dr. Low, in charge of a local militia brigade, was instructed to find him. Mr. Burk knew nothing of the matter but the soldiers searched his house from top to bottom. They found nothing and the Burks treated them all to a hearty breakfast and bid them good-bye. Years later it was found that Burk's young son, David, had pretended to be Ben Lett to frighten a newly arrived Irishman working on his father's farm.

Low sells to Robert Armour (partial land parcel) Robert Armour (1818-1890) was born in Doune, Perthshire, Scotland. He and his family emigrated to Canada in 1820 in company with the father of Sir John Alexander Macdonald, settling at York. The Armours were Huguenots, driven from France in the times of Catholic persecution. In 1837, on the breaking out of the Rebellion, Robert Armour volunteered as a private in a Cobourg company, and in January 1838, aided in cutting out the steamer Caroline and sending the vessel ablaze over Niagara Falls. Robert was sworn in as an attorney in 1840, and, after practising a few years in Cobourg and Port Hope, he married Marianne Burton (1820-1896) of Dysart, Ireland on May 8, 1848 in Port Hope, Ontario. Together, they had eight children, two of whom died in infancy. One of their sons, Edward Douglas Armour (1851-1922) was noteworthy in his own right, as a well-known lawyer, educator, journalist, and poet in Port Hope. Robert, like George H. Low, from whom he purchased the property, was a barrister. It was printed in a newspaper account that, "[in Law, Robert Armour was the senior practitioner [in the area]. He was a gentleman of acknowledged ability and at one period occupied a distinguished position and ranked high in the estimation of the public and enjoyed a lucrative practice" (Ontario Genealogy, Bowmanville in the 50's). Robert was also a Conservative Party activist, and served as mayor of Port Hope in 1849 before settling in Bowmanville in 1851. Robert and Marianne Armour are buried at Bowmanville Cemetery, along with two of their children. Although Robert Armour's career and lifepath seem fruitful, his property located at 62 Concession St W, Bowmanville was sold as a foreclosure in 1860. Further research is required to learn the details around the foreclosure.

Meredith Ralph Henry Howard Meredith (aka Henry H. Meredith) (1815-1892) was born in Dublin, Ireland, to Rev. Thomas Meredith (1777-1819) and Elizabeth Maria Graves (1792-1855). In 1824, Henry H. Meredith emigrated to Rawdon, Montcalm, Quebec, along with his mother, stepfather, and siblings. In 1832, Henry received a land grant of 100 acres in Kilkenny, Montcalm, Quebec. In 1840, he married Margaret Brown (1819-1901) of Port Hope, at St. John's Church, Port Hope. In the census of 1861, Henry and Margaret are recorded as living in a 2 -storey brick house in Port Hope, along with three of their four children, plus a governess and a servant. His occupation is listed as "gentleman," denoting that he was a man of means. He and his wife remained lifelong residents of Port Hope, and are buried together at St. John's Anglican Church Cemetery, Port Hope. Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 15 CH IA — 62 Concession St. December 4, 1869: Henry H. Meredith sells to William K. Burk[e] May 31, 1882: William K. Burk to Clara O. Burk (will) William K. Burk (sometimes spelled "Burke" or "Birk") (1816-1881), was a Canadian -born farmer of Irish descent. The Burks are one of the three founding families of Bowmanville—all United Empire Loyalists (the other two being the Conants and the Trulls). In 1794, William's brother John Burk settled on Lot 14 of the 1st Concession of Darlington Township, and later built an inn or tavern on the same road. John also built a local sawmill in 1806 and was a merchant, supplying goods to new arrivals, proving that this family was instrumental to the settling of the area. William and his wife, Clara (nee Coryall/Coryell, 1823-1895), had three children (Daniel, Martin, and Arthur), two of whom were also farmers; Daniel was a bank clerk. Their religion was listed as "Free Thinkers of England" on the 1861 Canadian Census. The Free Thought movement (which began in the 17th century) referred to people who inquired into the traditional beliefs held by mainstream religion, challenged them with inquiry, and applied their own ideas and opinions. It can be likened to the agnostic movement of our present time. Upon William's death, the property was transferred to Clara, who held ownership until a few years before her own death.

Douglas McArthur Although the current house at 62 Concession St W was thought to have been built in 1879, the family who constructed it did not acquire the property until mid -1882, when it was purchased by Mary McArthur (nee Haggarts). This discrepancy in the assumed build date is possibly due to a source newspaper article from The Canadian Statesman on June 26, 1958 entitled "The Beautiful Old Homes in Bowmanville," wherein many of Bowmanville's historic houses are described. In this article, Miss Margaret Allen is interviewed, and the year of 1879 is arrived at for 62 Concession St W because Miss Allen states that "it [the house] was not there" when Miss Margaret Allen's father built on Beech Ave in 1878, thus leading to the assumption that the dwelling was constructed the following year. Indeed, Drumralla, the Allen property (now 27 Beech Ave.), is included in the 1878 Belden Atlas, while McArthur House is not; however, this does not necessarily mean it was built the following year. (**See end note.) Arguably, this logic is also flawed given the deed information (the Burks still owned and likely farmed the land until transferring ownership in 1882), so a more accurate build date is at the very earliest 1882, but quite probably even later, given the size and ornate nature of the build and the time it would have taken to complete. Unfortunately, no photos have been located to date that show the house being built, so the build date cannot be further narrowed down at this time. Mary McArthur was born in Montgomery, New York, around 1841, and married Francis Ferrier McArthur (1832-1915) in 1863. Their wedding took place in the area of Prescott, Ontario. Francis "Frank" McArthur was born in Scotland, and he and Mary had four children: Angus, Mary, Ida, and Ferrier. Frank is listed as a merchant in the 1861 census, which refers to his business, the Upper Canada Furniture Company, as well as his career as a general merchant, specializing in dry goods. He was a notable local businessman as well as mayor of Bowmanville in 1875 and from 1880-1883. He also took a prominent role in the affairs of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church during its construction in 1871, where he served as its treasurer. In 1895, Mary transferred ownership of the property to Angus Douglas McArthur, her eldest son, when he was approximately 27 years old. Interestingly, although Mary's husband Francis F. McArthur was a notable local figure and appeared as the head of the household on census data, his name never appears on the property's deed. Frank McArthur's business, the Upper Canada Furniture Company, was important to the industry of the area and growth of the town. It consisted of three large factory buildings, a varnishing shop, a warehouse, and many outbuildings. There was also an office situated across the street from the main factory building. The former office apparently still exists, and is located at 12 Prospect Street. McArthur's funiture business eventually encountered financial difficulties, and was forced to close in 1890. The empty buildings were destroyed by fire two years later, apparently in an act of arson. The loss of jobs in Bowmanville as a result of the business closure was a tragedy that affected many citizens. Following the failure of his business, Frank McArthur, along with his family, moved to Toronto. Both Frank and his wife Mary continued to reside there until their deaths. They are buried at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Toronto. Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 17 CHIA — 62 Concession St. BOWMANVILLE'S MAYORS Mayors and term of office since incor- poration.

January 7, 1899: Angus Douglas McArthur to John Hogg Kydd ancestry.ca John Hogg Kydd (1848—?) was born in Arbirlot, Angus, Scotland. He came to Canada sometime between 1871-1873. He was married in Ontario to Clara (sometimes spelled "Clarah") Ann Rice (1856—?), of England in 1873. Together, they had three children, Frederick Charles (1873—?), Frank (1877—?), and much later, Winnifred Clara Kydd (1896-1979). In the 1891 census, John Kydd's listed profession is "manager of a factory," which refers to his job at the Dominion Organ and Piano Company. He would later go into business partnership with J. W. Alexander and Mr. McConnel in that venture. From Picture The Way We Were, p 142. MNION_ N $ PIANG o Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 20 CH IA — 62 Concession St. John Kydd's two sons also had jobs connected with the business, with "Fred" working as a bookkeeper and Frank working in the shop itself. Around 1908, the Kydd family bought a sugar plantation around Ceballos, La Habana, Cuba and moved there. It appears that both John and his wife Clara remained there until their deaths, while the children moved on to New Orleans, Louisiana, around the time of their parents' deaths. According to visiting mediums and local folklore, the Clarington Museum Heritage Centre on nearby Temperance St. is said to be haunted by the ghost of Frank Kydd, John Kydd's second son. The story goes that after John Kydd moved to Cuba, Frank planned a short trip to visit him. He packed up his personal belongings in trunks, storing them for when he returned. Once in Cuba, however, Frank decided to stay for good, never returning to retrieve his packed trunks. The museum now holds these trunks as a time capsule of early 1900s life, and mediums on the museum's Spirit Walks have identified Frank as the building's resident ghost, suggesting he may have returned to find some special belongings left in his trunks. October 29, 1909: John H. Kydd sells to William Henry Martin William Henry Martin (1884-1946) was born in Ontario, and was of Irish and English descent. His occupation was listed in 1911 as a labourer for the railroad, then in 1921 as a farmer, according to census data. As well, prior to 1916, W.H. Martin was a hardware merchant (The Martin Hardware Company), although it appears his business ran into financial difficulties and was closed. He married Winnifred "Winnie" Elizabeth Myles (1891-1976) on May 5, 1910, and together they had two children, Delbert (1911-1990) and Gladys (1915-1994). Interestingly enough, on census data, the Martins' dwelling is described as a structure made of wood, so it is possible that the Martins did not live in the main (brick) house. It may even be possible they lived in the (frame) coach house. William Martin died in Bowmanville, at home, of coronary thrombosis. Winnifred died at Hillsdale Manor, Oshawa. William is buried at Bethesda Cemetery, in Bowmanville, along with his wife. Notice to Creditors In re W. H. Martin, Trading as Martin Hardware Company, Bo-manville, Ont.

It is unknown if John James Moore ever lived at 62 Concession St W., or simply held the title as part of the previous foreclosure (or perhaps he was foreclosed upon himself). Unfortunately the succession information is unclear on this, and not much is known about this individual. In a 1956 Urban Preliminary List of Electors, there are four people living at 62 Concession St W: Ethel McKague (teacher), Kenneth Morris (secretary), Milda Morris (nee Moore) (no work listed), and Mildred Leander (widow). Kenneth Nelson Morris (1912-1983) married Milda Frances Moore (1913—?) of Manitoba, on July 20, 1934 in Toronto. It is likely that Kenneth worked at his family's business in the local funeral industry (now called the Morris Funeral Chapel). The Morris family have a longstanding history in Bowmanville in this line of work, since 1841. It does not appear that Kenneth and Milda ever had children. The other two people living at the house at the time were likely lodgers. Teacher Ethel Maude McKague (1913-1988) was a 1936 graduate of McMaster University and was known to travel, having visited both Rio De Janeiro and Florida. She never married. Mildred Leander was listed as both a spinster and a widow in various documents, and appears to have never had children. Not very much is known about her. During the Morris family ownership, the dwelling is said to have undergone renovations, but "they have kept such features as the handsome brass hardware which has some fine carved decoration. There were seven fireplaces, and these are all intact and in perfect working order. Two have hand -painted tiles which were originally brought from England" (Canadian Statesman, June 26, 1958). It appears that the Moore/Morris family owned the property until 1956, at which time it was sold from the estate of Milda Morris' relative, Albert Henry Moore (1871-1947). FUNERAL DIRECTORS F. F.

The family eventually moved to Christ Church, Isle of Wight. where Its proud business tradition continued lot three generations until Levi Morris emigrated to Canada in 1840. Levi, his wife and 11 children settled in Prince Albert, Ontario. where he began work as an undertaker and fine woods craftsman in 1841. His eldest son, Levi Jr., joined his father in the family business as a fine woods craftsman and worked on many historic buildings in the Bowmanville area, including Trinity United Church and the Balmoral Hotel. After moving to Bowmanville in 1854, Levi Jr. established his own undertaking business on Liberty Street North. He went on to become one of the first licensed embalmers in Ontario, graduating from the Rochester School of Embalming in 1884. Levi Jr. was also responsible for helping found, and becoming a charter member of, the Canadian Undertakers Association in 1883 and the Ontario College of Embalming in • 1891. HIS son, Frank F. Morris, continued in his steps by helping form The Ontario Funeral Service Association in 1922 and the Board of Funeral Services in 1914. The Board of Funeral t Services is the provincial regulatory body governing funeral service today. The present funeral chapel was constructed in 1959 by C.G. (Ted) Morris and F. Donald Morris. When completed, it .a- received praise throughout Ontario as one of the first service facilities to accommodate the unique and varied needs of its - • customers. Completely renovated and expanded during 1994/5 by Paul Morris, the facility now offers four large visitation rooms and a chapel with a seating capacity of more than 200. There is also a state of the art public address system and a colour audio/video system for recording services. The entire facility is totally accessible to the disabled. Morris Funeral Chapel operates its own, complete. fleet of vehicles and has convenient off-street parking for 50 cars. Q4W Morns Funeral Chapel has always been respected as a leader in the funeral service profession and is recognized as Canada's oldest independently owned funeral provider still being operated by descendants of the original family.

He was married to Martha Evelyn Mulholland (1930-2018), and together they had five children (Donald, Steven, David, Gordon, and Verity). Allan "Al" Sylvester was born in Toronto, and graduated from the University of Toronto medical school in 1954. He subsequently took his practice to Bowmanville, and served the area for 45 years in this capacity. He was a lifelong Rotarian, Paul Harris Fellow, served as the President of the Bowmanville Rotary Club, and was Chief of Staff at Bowmanville Memorial Hospital. Martha was born and raised in Toronto where she attended Blythwood Road Public School and Lawrence Park Collegiate, then graduated as a registered nurse from the Hospital for Sick Children. She subsequently qualified as a public health nurse in the city but shortly thereafter moved to Bowmanville with her husband. Family activities soon became the dominant calling in her life along with all the joys and challenges of raising five boisterous and independent kids. Busy summers at the treasured family cottage on Lake Muskoka were an integral part of family life. During that time, Martha also found the time to serve on the board of directors of the Durham Children's Aid Society for many years. Additionally, she often worked as a nurse in her husband's family practice, providing a variety of services including the compassionate administration of injections for thousands of anxious patients. She and her husband were also faithful members of the United Church and then the Baptist Church for many decades. According to the Hoy family, It was the Sylvesters who converted the house back to a single-family. They were careful stewards of McArthur House and loved it dearly. When it came time to sell, they waited for the right buyers who shared their passion and vision, and found them in the Hoys. Al and Martha are interred together at Bowmanville Cemetery. findagrave.com (all) SYLVESTER. DR.

Dr. Paul J. Hoy was a medical doctor in Bowmanville, with a practice located at 222 King St E. Together, he and Monica had five children (Greg, Mona, Patrick, Paul, and Kathleen). On March 24, 1988, Dr. Paul Hoy was one of the team of physicians that arranged for heart transplant surgery for a local man named Tom Gould. Mr. Gould was only 49 years old at the time, and was told by his physician that he would not live to see 50 if he did not get a transplant. The surgery at Toronto Hospital went well, and Dr. Hoy was later mentioned in the media as a "caring physician" ("Friend Gets Extra 19 Years Thanks To Stranger," May 14, 2007, durhamregion .com). As a result of the surgery, Tom Gould went on to live nearly 20 more years, eventually dying in 2007 as one of the longest -surviving heart transplant recipients in the area. In 2009, Dr. Hoy spoke to the press about his concern for the future of the Emergency Room at Lakeridge Health Bowmanville, in response to a press release that suggested an impending reduction of service. He was quoted as saying, "We're a major GTA community. We rival Oshawa in terms of [hospital visit] numbers. This community deserves, demographically and otherwise, to have an appropriate facility" ("Bowmanville Doctors continue to worry about health of hospital," May 25, 2009, durhamregion.com). Dr Hoy had the largest practice in town for many decades, at one point caring for over 2,000 patients. He found time to be an active member of St. Joseph's parish and played hockey until about five years ago, as well as baseball and soccer, and was a Cub leader for his three sons. The Hoys cared for Paul's parents, who lived in the coach house in their later years. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, and brother. Paul Hoy died suddenly at Lakeridge Health Bowmanville on December 22, 2021. Dr. Hoy was truly a beloved doctor, friend, and member of the Bowmanville community and is deeply missed not just by his family but by many in town and elsewhere. Dr. Paul Hoy (thestar.com) Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 25 CH IA — 62 Concession St. March 18, 2022: Paul Joseph Hoy to Monica Mary Walsh Hoy (survivorship) Mrs. Hoy, like her husband and the Sylvesters before her, loves her home and is known for insisting that original features be restored and retained and for keeping careful records of any evidence of earlier changes uncovered during renovations, such as during the recent addition of a new kitchen. From the time the Hoys arrived in Bowmanville in 1979 until her husband's sudden and tragic death, Monica Hoy worked part-time for him, doing accounts at his medical office. In addition to raising their children, she volunteered at St. Joseph's School, at St. Joseph's parish, was on the board of Community Care, and was a thirty -five-year canvasser for the Heart and Stroke Campaign. With degrees in nursing and law, she became a family law mediator and has worked for the past twenty-two years as the Information and Referral Coordinator and On -site Mediator at the Family Law Information Centre in Cobourg. According to Guy Lanteigne, the family's long-term contractor and restoration carpenter, Mrs. Hoy has kept all the original windows and doors, and has asked him to restore the sash -window weights to full function and rewire the chandeliers. Additional restoration work is planned. Paul and Monica Hoy truly considered themselves stewards of their beautiful house, which has been the heart and soul of the family and the centre of countless family and community celebrations. Mrs. Hoy feels blessed to have four grandchildren who, along with nieces, nephews and other visiting children, absolutely love exploring this amazing house. 2.4 Heritage Resources on Site Age A number of sources and references cite the date of construction of McArthur House as 1879. However, we feel this date may be too early, as the land title records indicate that the property was still owned by the Burk family at that time, and was not transferred to the McArthurs until 1882. The Hoys' restoration carpenter, Guy Lanteigne, believes the house dates to the early 1880s, based in part on the original interior features and furniture. Additional research is needed to confirm a date. Regardless, the High Victorian Gothic style employed, which features many Italianate elements, situates the property firmly in the late 1870s to mid -1880s. Architect The Canadian Encyclopedia notes that architect -designed homes from this time are rare — because the architects themselves were rare. Canada's first degree -granting school of architecture was established at the University of Toronto in 1890. For these reasons, it seems unlikely that 62 Concession was designed by a trained architect; rather, it is more likely that a skilled local builder, in consultation with F.F. McArthur, built the house. As ACO Clarington's Rick McEachern points out, "Mr. McArthur, who ran the Upper Canada Furniture Company, certainly knew his way around lumber, and in her book Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 26 CH IA — 62 Concession St. Bowmanville An Architectural and Social History 1794-1999, Diana Grandfield said that McArthur built the house himself." Indeed, with the exception of the larger cities, most communities of the time did not use architects, as pre -1890 they were trained in the U.S. or overseas and were therefore likely to be extremely expensive. Although Mr. McArthur likely could have afforded this service, there is plenty of evidence in Bowmanville of the skill of local builders, carpenters, and masons; therefore we feel it's likely no architect was used. Architectural Features of the House and Coach House (See Figure 3: Current Photos) Framed print of Walter Campbell painting: McArthur -era 62 Concession in summer, south elevation. (Note pre-horseless-carriage coach house at rear.) While McArthur House clearly falls within the late -Victorian era of architectural styles, like many fellow stately vernacular homes of that time, it contains features of a variety of sub - styles. The mix of elements and materials is unmistakeably of the High Victorian Queen Anne Gothic style, but with a number of distinctively Italianate details. In John Blumenson's Ontario Architecture, he describes the typical North American version of the Queen Anne style as having an "irregular outline or silhouette, consisting of towers, broad gables or pediments, projecting two -storey bays, multisloped roofs and tall decorated chimneys." He adds there is often a "profusion of decorative motifs in stone, brick and wood [that] combined with a variety of roof shapes create the richly decorated irregular form so characteristic of the style." A document provided by the Clarington branch of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario describes the house as follows: The irregular facade is actuated with many elaborate details. Most outstanding are the polychromatic brickwork, the extensive use of gingerbread, the ornately decorated veranda, and the tall wrought iron finials at the gable peaks. This is the best designed High Victorian Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 27 CH IA — 62 Concession St. house in Bowmanville and together with the grounds and exceptional fine coach house, it is also the best preserved. McArthur House's shape demonstrates one of the most distinctive characteristics of the style: a hipped roof with lower cross gables. (Though it is not visible from ground level, the roof is actually crowned by a small flat deck.) Also distinguishing this house is its full original slate roof. Framed print of Walter Campbell painting: 62 Concession in winter, south elevation. The house exemplifies what Virginia Savage McAlester, in her Field Guide to American Houses (2nd edition, 2019) calls "the typical Queen Anne aversion to smooth wall surfaces." Decorative brickwork, spindlework, and a roofed projecting bay window on the facade all work to provide texture and variety, as do the house's many steeply pitched gables with decorative bracing, incised ornament, vergeboard, and brackets. The brackets and vergeboard feature a variety of sunburst and circle motifs. McArthur House's Italianate elements are also easily identified, including the tall paired and triple windows with segmental arches, exposed rafter tails in several of the gables, decorative partial -width porch, large decorative eave brackets, and double -hung sash windows. Distinctive Masonry Treatment Bowmanville is well known for its many historic brick structures, unusual for an era in which mainly less -expensive frame buildings were the norm. Not only is McArthur House an outstanding example of its mason's skill, it demonstrates a distinctive finishing treatment used on older brick facades to create the illusion of perfect angles and bricks uniform in colour and shape. Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 28 CH IA — 62 Concession St. More research would have to be undertaken to determine possible sources for the bricks used in the construction of the house, but it is most likely that they were made and sourced locally, perhaps from the brickworks on Liberty Street. At this time, the bricks manufactured in smaller brickworks had significant variations in colour and shape, and as a result, did not always project the air of refinement some owners sought. Enter the master mason, who came to the rescue with a finishing technique. In his article, "Joint Finishes in Historic Brickwork" (building conservation.com), Gerard Lynch describes the techniques and how they were achieved. The first step would be colour -washing the entire exterior to try to achieve a uniform brick colour. The drawback of this approach was that the joints (mortar) would also be coloured, obscuring the "bond" or brick pattern. Following the wash, therefore, the joints were always picked out again to re-emphasize the bond through a craft practice called "pencilling," a form of tuck pointing. This was usually executed in white distemper — a mix of crushed chalk and glue size, originally drawn on by eye, but later by using a special straight -edge called a "pointing rule." A grid of very thin grooves, establishing level and plumb, was applied to the tinted mortar, and once the pencilling was applied, it was trimmed using an adapted knife called a "Frenchman," guided by the pointing rule. This resulted in precisely sized narrow ribbons. Although usually cream coloured, black, and occasionally red ribbons were also used in the Victorian period. •1u1 A thin blade, guided by the "pointing Using the "Frenchman" to trim a bed joint ribbon. rule," creates a "ruled" joint. (Both from BuildingConservation.com) Of course, due to the labour-intensive nature of this work and the skill and time required —and therefore the expense —it was reserved for "premiere" facades only. McArthur House displays a perfectly preserved example of the technique, not only on the brick of the facade, but a version has also been applied to the cut stone of the home's foundation.

(From BuildingConservation.com) Interior (See Figure 3: Current Photos) McArthur House's interior also includes many outstanding original features, lovingly restored over many decades thanks to the determination of her most recent owners, Dr. and Mrs. Hoy and before them, the Sylvesters. Under Mrs. Hoy's direction, local master craftsman Guy Lanteigne has brought much of the spectacular interior back to functional life, uncovering traces of the history of the house and its occupants in the process. In her 1958 Statesman article, "The Beautiful Old Homes in Bowmanville," Elsie Carruthers Lunney states: Mr. and Mrs. Morris in renovating the house have kept such features as the handsome brass hardware which has some fine carved decoration. There were seven fireplaces and these are all intact and in perfect working order. Two have handpainted tiles which were originally brought from England. Mr. McArthur, the builder, being a man who knew fine wood, the woodwork throughout is very good, being mainly of cherry, and in the front hall, oak. There was hand -tooled leather on the wall beside the staircase, and the Morrises regretted that this was in such a poor state of preservation that it could not be saved. In renovating the coach house, with an apartment above, the original architecture was kept, and it presents a most attractive appearance. Guy Lanteigne, the Hoys' contractor, details more of the original interior features, such as the carved woodwork on door and window casings, the high ceilings, the original panelled doors, including the paired front doors and the folding pocket doors to the dining room, the pine floors and deep baseboards in the ground -floor reception rooms, the carved fireplaces, the brass hardware mentioned by Ms. Lunney, and the extensive plasterwork. The skill of the plasterers is particularly evident in the crown mouldings, ceiling medallions, and especially the chimney breasts, which display a decorative plaster feature called a "lark's tongue." Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 30 CH IA — 62 Concession St. In plastering and woodworking, a lark's tongue is a chamfered adjoining edge which ends in a gradual outward curve, leaving the remainder of the edge as a right angle. The skill required to accomplish this, presumably by hand, is considerable. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this property is that so many of these features survived to be restored. As was the case with many stately homes, the considerable costs of upkeep became a burden when there was an economic downturn, and their owners resorted to converting them to apartments or, as in this case, a rooming house. It seems likely that this happened to McArthur House between the Martins' bankruptcy in 1916 and the mid -1950s. Ms. Lunney mentions in her article that Mr. and Mrs. Morris renovated the house, which may have been done to upgrade the rental property. Mr. Lanteigne, the Hoys' contractor, says that at some point the upper staircase to the attic was enclosed and a kitchen was installed in a bedroom on the second floor, likely for the tenants. (He also notes that the main staircase is not original; the current stairs to the second floor were salvaged by the Sylvesters from a nearby home of similar age and installed several feet further from the front door. Like the stairs themselves, the "hand tooled leather" is sadly no more, removed by the Morrises as unsalvageable.) When Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester took ownership in 1956, they restored the house to a single-family home. Coach House The carriage or coach house, to the northwest of the main house, now converted to a residence from its original purpose, also retains many exterior features. Its original design was likely similar to that of the nearby Ravenscraig coach house at 8 Beech (see Grandfield, p. 77), with a central access door for a carriage, surmounted by a projecting gable. Compared to the main house, the McArthur coach house has more modest but still decorative gable brackets and ornament, and a small square cupola with weathervane as a nod to its horsey purpose. Note that in contrast to the main house, this accessory building has mainly six -over -six double - hung windows, and the main window, in the south -facing gable, has a three-part 16 -light central section, probably fixed, flanked by smaller, four -over -four versions. This is possibly because these were less expensive than the single -paned windows of the main house. Setting and Landscape The house sits on a large, landscaped lot nearly an acre in size with extensive lawns that is surrounded on three sides by local roads. It is set back a generous 35 metres from Concession Street, providing a striking view of the south elevation from the street, although this is now partly screened by the many mature trees, hedges, and gardens. There are several points of access to the property, including the two ends of the original circular gravel driveway, as well as the driveway off High Street to the west, accessing the coach house. This point also provides a closer view of the west facade of the house (fully decorated with this view in mind). Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 31 CH IA — 62 Concession St. 3.0 Statement of Significance Ontario Regulation 9/06 under the Ontario Heritage Act sets out the criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest, which is required in order to designate a property under the provisions of Part IV of the Act. A property may be designated under Section 29 of the Act if it meets one or more of the following criteria for determining whether it is of cultural heritage value or interest. 1. The property has design or physical value because it: i. is a rare, unique, representative, or early example of a style, type, expression, material or construction method; ii. displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit; or, iii. demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement. 2. The property has historical or associative value because it: i. has direct associations with a theme, event, belief, person, activity, organization or institution that is significant to a community; ii. yields, or has the potential to yield, information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture; or, iii. demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect, artist, builder, designer, or theorist who is significant to a community. 3. The property has contextual value because it: i. is important in defining, maintaining or supporting the character of an area; ii. is physically, functionally, visually or historically linked to its surroundings; or, iii. is a landmark. After analyzing the history and heritage attributes of McArthur House (62 Concession St West), as described in the foregoing sections of this report, we have concluded that: (i) The property has design value in that the house and coach house are representative examples of 19th- century Ontario vernacular architecture, specifically the High Victorian Gothic style, and include many distinctive features of that style; (ii) The property displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit on the part of the designer/builder; 2. (i) The property has historical and associative value in that it represents an important time in the early development of Bowmanville and is associated with several prominent families, including one of the area's founding settler families; several families associated with key local industries that contributed to the growth of the community; and two mayors: Robert Armour and F.F. McArthur; Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 32 CH IA — 62 Concession St. (ii) The property has associative value as one of the few remaining estate homes on large lots near the downtown that reflect the aspirations and success of the early industrialists, politicians, and businesspeople of the community, and the way they chose to reflect their status through their properties; (iii) The property is associated with and demonstrates the skills, techniques, and materials used by this community's talented designer -builders of the late 19th century; 3. (i) The property has contextual value in that its distinctive setting —the expansive grounds with mature tree canopy, frontage on three local roads, deep setbacks and circular drive —is important in maintaining and defining the historic character of Concession St and of the neighbourhood, which originally featured many large homes on estate lots; (ii) The property is physically, functionally, visually, and historically linked to its surroundings, particularly the development of the 19th- century residential neighbourhoods to the east, west, and south, including the Beech Avenue area and Concession Street, as well as to nearby industrial properties such as those owned or managed by the property's residents; e.g., the Upper Canada Furniture Company and the Dominion Organ and Piano Company; and (iii) The property is a landmark. McArthur House has cultural heritage value not only because it demonstrates the skills and achievements of its builders and craftspeople, but also because it represents the skills and achievements of its owners over time. The property's cultural heritage value lies in it being one of the best examples of the High Victorian Gothic Revival style of residential architecture design in the municipality, and in retaining most of its original c. 1880s features. The large 2Y2 -storey home displays many of the typical hallmarks of this style, including an irregular plan, steeply pitched hipped roof with gables and original slate shingles, decorative brick treatments, and elaborate vergeboard, brackets, and porch trim. The house also includes several Italianate elements, such as tall, paired windows with segmentally arched heads. It is set well back on an estate lot with landscaping and a circular drive amid a mature, tree -lined residential area richly represented by many other identified heritage properties, including the adjacent Beech Avenue Heritage Conservation District. The property has proven associations with several mid -19th -century "city fathers" —including F.F. McArthur and John H. Kydd—who played a leading role in the early commercial, manufacturing, and political life and development of the community. In addition to owning the Upper Canada Furniture Company, one of Bowmanville's largest employers in the late 1800s, F.F. McArthur was also mayor of Bowmanville in 1875 and 1880 to 1883. The positive influence of McArthur House's owners continues up to the present day, as the two most recent families, the Sylvesters and the Hoys, have contributed not only to the health of Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 33 CH IA — 62 Concession St. the community through their work in medicine, law, and through their churches, but also by undertaking the loving (and ongoing) restoration of their home for the enjoyment of all. Description of Heritage Attributes Key exterior attributes that embody the design value of McArthur House as an outstanding example of the High Victorian Queen Anne residential style with a high degree of craftsmanship and artistic merit include its: • 2 %2 -storey irregular three -bay plan with a centre hall layout, circa early 1880s • High Victorian Queen Anne Gothic style with Italianate details • hipped roof with cross gables and crowned with flat deck • partial -width front porch with pedimented entry, balustrade inserts, and skirting cut-outs • matching side porch on east elevation (lattice skirting) • original slate roof tiles • three tall, decorated brick chimneys, one with chimney pots • paired steeply pitched gables on south (front) elevation, eastern bay and gable is narrower and higher, with metal cornicing, all gables feature deep eaves and returns • cut -stone foundation • paired, segmentally arched windows, some with shutters (north and south elevations) • bay window with roof on eastern facade • cross -bracing and carved circle and sunburst motifs in gable vergeboards and brackets • elaborate wrought -iron finials on both front gables • exposed rafter tails in the smaller gables (west and north) • ruled and pencilled cream -coloured tuck pointing (and possible colour -washing) on brick; (pointing also evident on the exterior cut -fieldstone foundation) • belt courses of contrasting black ("tarred" or "blackened") and buff brick; black brick is also used to highlight the window head archest • blackened brick right-angle zig zag belt course between first and second floor on east, south, and west elevations • band of decorative brickwork in an indented -rectangles pattern under attic windows on east and south elevations • turned, fluted square porch columns with heavy bracketing on south (front) and east elevations • turned, fluted pilasters at front entrance • arched stained-glass transom over double front doors • original circular gravel drive Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 34 CH IA — 62 Concession St. • original 1 Y2 -storey frame side -gabled carriage house (now converted and tenanted), with a projecting centre gable and end gables with ornament, a cupola, and six -over -six double -hung windows. The main window, in the south -facing gable, has a three-part 16 -light central section, probably fixed, flanked by smaller, four -over -four versions. Key contextual attributes that express the value of the property as a landmark that continues to support and define the character and history of its historic neighbourhood include: • its expansive original estate lot with lawns, landscaping, and many mature trees and gardens • its location and setting in an early residential area close to the downtown and nearby manufacturing sites • the views of the property from Concession Street West t (Note that in Grandfield's Bowmanville: An Architectural and Social History, the Dominion Organ and Piano Co., 1874 (p. 105), and the Weir House, c. 1885 (p. 112) are both described as having "string courses of tarred brick" similar to those featured on McArthur House. Apparently this was a popular embellishment of the time.) Interior Interior features, many of which are original, continue the story inside. Doors, windows, ceilings, and walls are finished in carved or decorative woodwork, plasterwork, and metalwork. High ceilings, wide hallways, and transoms over doors throughout —even in the servants' area to the rear of the house —as well as the many generous reception rooms, provide a feeling of spaciousness and luxury. The original coach house, though not in optimal condition, is also a rare surviving representative of a time and a neighbourhood where status meant hired help living on site, and owning carriages and horses. • original double front doors with vestibule • original double six -panelled doors to ground floor principal rooms • original staircase and newel posts on stairs to attic (now enclosed) • original interior doors • original plaster ceiling medallions • original highly decorated brass fittings, hinges, and hardware on doors • high interior ceilings throughout • working six -panelled folding pocket doors between drawing room and dining room • fireplaces with original mantels, carved surrounds, (including one very elaborate in the drawing room), and hand -painted decorative tile from England • chimney breasts with chamfered "lark's tongue" plaster detail • plaster crown mouldings Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 35 CH IA — 62 Concession St. • wooden baseboards (discreetly replaced in some rooms with baseboard heaters of the same height) • carved oak newel post with daisy pattern (possibly not original, as stairs are not original) • original pine floors in principal rooms (now carpeted; replaced by parquet in front hall) • transoms over bedroom doors • servants' quarters: housekeeper's room on ground floor (northwest corner) near kitchen; servants' (back) stairs; two small rooms on the second floor at the back of the house • fieldstone foundation in cellar • brick enclosure in cellar, with signs of ducting, possibly for original wood stove Martindale Planning Services Sept 2022 36 CH IA — 62 Concession St. 4.0 Assessment of Existing Condition There are two dwellings located at 62 Concession Street Bowmanville: a main house and a coach house. 4.1 Condition of Main House The existing main home fronts onto Concession Street. It is a 2 %-storey structure, with a coursed stone foundation facilitating a full -height basement. In terms of architectural style, it is considered a High Victorian/Queen Anne/Gothic with Italianate details. The home is mostly rectangular in plan featuring a solid brick construction. It has a combination of arched, pointed arched and flat lintel style windows on all elevations. The brick is in a traditional red colour with black accent bricks orientated in horizontal lines circumscribing the house and accentuating the lintels and arches. The steeply pitched roofs are clad in original slate shingles complete with galvanized metal capping and trims. There are several dormers in the structure servicing the third floor. It is in moderately good condition although some shingles are missing. This should be addressed in the near future. The several chimneys that extend through the roof service functional fireplaces and furnaces and are in excellent condition. Soffits, fascias and bracketing exhibit the fine woodworking detail often associated with a residence of this nature from that era. The exterior woodwork and ornamentation are in good and serviceable condition but are in need of some attention in the near future. The original wooden sash and window frames are in good condition. They have been well - maintained over the years but they too will need some ongoing maintenance in the near future. The main entrance is sheltered by a large wooden covered porch on the southwest corner. The entrance door is comprised of two door panels entering into a small vestibule behind which two more doors open up into a large foyer. A side entrance is accessed via a raised masonry patio with a large wood -framed gazebo porch structure in the southeast corner. One enters the house from this patio through one of two sets of double French doors. Both wooden porch structures are in serviceable condition but will require maintenance in the near future. The rear yard is accessed by a service entrance which is also protected from the elements by a small roof structure. This structure is in good condition. Martindale Planning Services September, 2022 37 CH IA — 62 Concession St. The main floor provides for all of the common areas associated with the home with all finishes being in excellent condition. It includes a newly renovated kitchen and bathroom. The second floor is accessed by a large centre staircase rising from the main entrance foyer and a secondary service stairway rising from the rear entrance. It contains the private areas of the house including four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The 2 %2 or third storey of the house is accessed by the continuation of the centre stairway. The third floor is mostly unfinished except for plastered walls and ceilings. The several dormers bring light and function to these areas nestled in between the roof rafters. Generally, the interior finishes are comprised of plaster on wood lath or where renovations have been executed, on quality drywall finishes. The interior of the house has been lovingly cared for over the years and exhibits an original -like condition. All doors and trims in this home are original, refurbished or high -quality reproductions of the original. All the flooring in the house is complementary to its original era including the modern ceramic finishes found in the kitchen and bathrooms. The structural components of the house, although generally not visible, are visible in most of the basement floor structure. They were constructed with quality materials and the proven techniques of the era and are still of sound nature today. The construction techniques of the era did not incorporate much in the way of insulation or draft -proofing. Unfortunately, there is not much opportunity to upgrade those systems today without significant compromise to the historic nature of the interiors. The home is heated with a reasonably efficient oil -fired furnace. Although no specific test for the purpose of energy usage was conducted for this report, one could surmise that a house such as this is inefficient from an energy -usage perspective. 4.2 Condition of Coach House The coach house on the property fronts onto High Street. It is of wood -frame construction and is comprised of living quarters above a three -bay garage complete with second -storey veranda to the east. The exterior of the structure is clad in painted fibre/cement siding with painted soffit and fascia of wood. All of these finishes are in need of some repair and maintenance. Signs of a weak foundation are evident in the unlevel nature of the overhead doors servicing the garage area. This will need to be addressed in the future. The structure has a pitched roof complete with dormer to the south adding light to the second floor and new asphalt shingles. Martindale Planning Services September, 2022 38 CH IA — 62 Concession St. Utility and storage spaces servicing the second -storey suite are located at ground level and a single flight of stairs provides access to that space. The interior finishes of the structure are in poor but serviceable condition. The coach house is heated with an oil furnace and cooled with a central air-conditioning system. 4.3 Summary The main home at 62 Concession Street includes many historically significant elements, several in excellent condition. Fortunately, several generations of owners understood this significance and despite the challenge and costs have lovingly maintained this house to the present. It is imperative that this ongoing maintenance is continued if the home is to survive into the future. Maintenance notwithstanding, the inherent energy inefficiencies of a structure of this nature and the rising costs of that energy may prove to be the bigger challenge in keeping homes like this one viable, despite their historical significance. The coach house is in fair condition. Addressing the foundation issue will insure its future and a facelift on both the exterior and the interior will secure its place in the community. 5.0 Description of the Proposed Development The owner of the subject property, Monica Hoy, intends to sever three (3) lots from the property, two of which would be vacant building lots, while the third lot already contains an existing coach house behind the main house, as illustrated on Figure 2 of this report. 62 Concession St. presently has an area of 3,697 m2 with a lot frontage of 55.1 m and a depth of 67.1 m. with the main residence sited essentially in the middle of the property towards the north end. Proposed lot #1 comprises the existing coach house fronting onto High St. It would have a frontage of 15.5. m, a depth of 30.8 m and a lot area of 463.2 m2. Proposed lot #2 would be located at the southwestern portion of the property with frontage on Concession St. of 15 m and a flankage on High St. of 30.7 m. It would have a lot area of 460.5 m2. Proposed lot #3 would be located at the southeastern portion of the property with frontage on Concession St. of 15 m and a flankage on Burk Ct. of 30.7 m. Similar to lot #2, It would have a lot area of 460.5 m2. The retained lot would have a frontage of 25.1 m on Concession St., with flankages of 20.9 m on High St. and 36.4 m on Burk Ct. It would have a minimum depth of 51.6 m on the west and a maximum depth of 67.1 m on the east. The proposed severances were designed to comply with the applicable zoning requirements insofar as it was possible (minor variances will be required with respect to lot frontage for lots 2 Martindale Planning Services September, 2022 39 CH IA — 62 Concession St. and 3 and lot area and north side yard for lot 1). More importantly, it was considered imperative that the frontage for the retained lot be kept as large as possible in order to maintain the vista of the heritage house from Concession St. The severances were also intended to be in general compliance with the recent creation of two lots at 26 Concession St., a short distance to the east of the subject property. In that case, two lots were severed from the frontage of the property in 2020, while preserving the vista of the historical dwelling in the middle. The new lots at 26 Concession St. also have a frontage of 15 m. While the proposed lots are approximately 10 m shallower than the severed lots at 26 Concession St., they should not detract from the view of the heritage house since they are situated to the side rather than in front of the latter. 6.0 Impact of Development on Heritage Attributes In our view there will be little or no impact on the heritage attributes of the subject property. Although a few mature trees may have to be removed to accommodate the new houses on proposed lots 2 and 3, care will be taken to retain as much of the existing vegetation as possible. Similarly, the prominent trees and shrubs in front of and on both sides of the heritage house will be retained. No physical changes are proposed to the exterior of the house, and it will be maintained in the same exemplary manner as it has been for the past century and a half. The new houses on lots 2 and 3 will be designed to complement but not duplicate the existing architectural style of the main house. Access will be from the side streets, so as not to impact traffic flow on Concession Street. 7.0 Considered Alternatives and Mitigation Strategies One alternative that was considered, but subsequently discarded, was to apply for four severances — in addition to proposed lots 1— 3, a fourth severance to create a building lot at the northeast corner of the property was contemplated. This was deemed to be not feasible or appropriate as it would have left virtually no rear yard behind the heritage house and would have adversely affected the vista from Concession Street. The other alternative, of course, would be to not apply for any new lots and retain the property as is. The difficulty with this approach is the escalating costs involved in maintaining the heritage house and making the kind of improvements required to ensure its longevity as noted in the Building Condition section — notably, increasing the energy efficiency and long-term viability of the home. 8.0 Conservation Strategy Normally a detailed conservation strategy is formulated if major alterations are proposed to a heritage property. In this instance, there are no alterations being proposed that would affect the heritage attributes of 62 Concession Street; however, the appearance of the site will Martindale Planning Services September, 2022 40 CH IA — 62 Concession St. certainly be affected by the construction of two new homes at the corners of the property. It is therefore imperative that the design of the new buildings be in keeping with the design of not only the existing heritage house but others along Concession St. Furthermore, the landscaping of these lots will have to ensure that as little vegetation as possible be disturbed and the accesses are located as far from this street as possible. 9.0 Conclusion and Recommendations Our research has demonstrated that 62 Concession Street, otherwise known as the McArthur House, is one of the finest examples of the High Victorian architectural style in Bowmanville and one of the best preserved. In addition, its history is particularly significant as noted in the description of previous owners. Since it satisfies all of the criteria for designation outlined in Ontario Regulation 9/06, It certainly merits designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. The severances are intended to provide the property owner with sufficient cash flow to properly maintain and improve the energy efficiency of the main house without detracting from its heritage attributes. Care has been taken to locate the proposed houses in such a way that they won't affect the vista from Concession Street. Once the heritage house is designated, the design of the new homes will have to be approved by the Clarington Heritage Committee and Council to ensure that they don't adversely affect the heritage character of the property or the street as a whole. In conclusion, we would recommend that staff and Council support the development proposal for the subject property as described in this report. Respectfully submitted by, Robert A.

In his words: "I came to the determination that the house was built in 1879 because Diana Grandfield says [McArthur] built the house in 1879 in her book [Bowmanville: An Architectural & Social History, 1794-1999], as does the book Picture The Way We Were, [and] Grandfield certainly knew her local history."

We thought that the Heritage Impact Assessment was submitted with the application, but it wasn't. W. Partner: When will heritage committee review? Next meeting? S. Gattie: Staff will have to discuss with the Heritage Committee on when we can get on their agenda. We would like to speak with the applicant first to come up with a path forward for this application. Minutes — January 29, 2026 Committee of Adjustment Meeting Page 8 S. Pohjola: Does Staff require an updated site plan to be added as a condition to the Staff Report? N. Gibson: Yes, a condition should be added to the Staff Report regarding the updated site plan. Bob Martindale — The site plan is premature because the house exists and there's no desire to tear it down and to build a new house at this point. The consent application is to just separate the main house from the coach house, and there's no intent to tear the coach house down. S. Gattie: An updated concept plan is needed to show the setbacks from the existing buildings to the property line so that Staff can confirm all the required variances. Bob Martindale — That can be done, no problem. Motion to approve B-2025-0030 as recommended by Dave Eastman, seconded by Shelley Pohjola. Time approved 7:02pm. Full text of Decision: That application B-2025-0030 for consent be tabled to allow for further discussions with the applicant regarding any proposed heritage -related conditions, the additional variances are identified, and any neighbouring property line disputes have been resolved. Conclusion: 1. Staff's recommendation is to table this application, as comments regarding the heritage of the property have not yet been received. A Heritage Impact Assessment from the Community Planning Division is still pending. Furthermore, additional variances have been identified, and staff recommend tabling the application to allow for further discussions with the applicant to confirm these variances. 2. The recommendation from Planning Staff is that application for a consent be tabled to allow for further discussions with the applicant regarding any proposed heritage -related conditions, the additional variances are identified, and any neighbouring property line disputes have been resolved. The matter was then put to a vote and was carried out as follows, signed by all members present and concurring that this is the Committee Decision on B-2025-0030 on January 29, 2026.

Minor Variance Applications 7.1 File: A-2025-0047 Owner/Agent: Michael Fry, D.G. Biddle and Associates Limited; Raivo Uukkivi, Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP Staff: Hebah Masood Address: 125 Port Darlington Road, Bowmanville Application: 1. The purpose of the minor variance application is to expand the uses within the site specific General Industrial Exception (M2-2) Zone to include the following: a) Contractor's or tradesman's workshop and yard; b) Equipment sales and rental, light; Minutes —January 29, 2026 Page 12 Committee of Adjustment Meeting c) Equipment sales and rental, heavy; d) Outside storage of goods and materials where such use is accessory and incidental to a permitted use e) A farm implement and equipment sales and service establishment; f) A dry light industry within a wholly enclosed building or structure; g) A work shop within a wholly enclosed building or structure; h) An assembly, manufacturing, fabricating or processing plant within a wholly enclosed building or structure; i) A motor vehicle repair garage within a wholly enclosed building or structure. 2. Public notification was conducted in accordance with the Planning Act which included signage being installed on the subject site and a mail out to all property owners within 60 metres of the subject site. 3. No comments were received in opposition to the application from external agencies or internal departments. 4. Staff have received one comment from the public in opposition to the minor variance application. The commenters main concerns are that the requested variances are not in alignment with the proposed waterfront strategy, would increase traffic of trucks and larger vehicles to the neighborhood and would negatively impact safety in the area. It was their opinion the permitted uses to general industrial uses would not be suitable for the area. 5. Staff recommends that application A2025-0047 for a Minor Variance to Section 24.4.2a of Zoning By -Law 84-63 be denied as it does not maintain the general intent and purpose of the Clarington Official Plan, and the Zoning By-law 84-63, is not desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land and is not minor in nature. Discussion: No members of the public spoke regarding this application. The applicant's council Raivo Uukkivi noted that the Planning Justification Report written by Michael Fry from D. G. Biddle was not circulated to committee members and therefore the applicant would like the Committee to table the application to allow the Committee to review the report. Minutes — January 29, 2026 Committee of Adjustment Meeting Page 13 M. Fry: presented his interpretation of Planning Act Section 45 (2) regarding the Powers of the Committee of Adjustment. Hi discussed that the Committee has the power to approve new uses where they are similar or legal non -conforming to the existing permitted uses. His interpretation is that the requested additional uses are either similar or legal non -conforming uses to Zoning By -Law 84-63. His opinion is that the existing permitted uses in the M2-2 Zone are too restrictive and too prohibitive by only allowing for boat repair and boat storage. As such, he believes the use permissions should be applied more generally. M. Fry: further stated that the requested additional uses are considered "Class 1 Uses" because they are low impact, low traffic and daytime uses. For these uses a minimum separation of 20 metres is required. Michael Fry added that new uses on the property would have to go through the Site Plan Approval process and any noise, vibration and odor studies could be evaluated at that time. Michael Fry handed out a copy of the Planning Justification Report to staff and Committee members. The applicants also displayed a diagram with a 20 -meter buffer surrounding the property to indicate the area of influence for requested "Class 1 Industrial Uses." G. Wallace: asked staff why in some instances the committee can add uses and not in others? For example, we have done this before on Baseline Road. H. Masood and S. Gattie: clarified that under Planning Act Section 45(2)(a) that the committee has the power to approve uses that are similar or legal non -conforming status. However, what the applicant is requesting is neither similar nor proven to be legal non -conforming. The permitted uses in the M2-2 Zone are site -specific and the general uses under the M2 Zone are not similar in nature. S. Gattie: clarified that the example on Baseline Road was a like -for -like use because childcare was a permitted use and the requested use was a daycare. That was considered a similar use so it could be approved through the Committee. Staff do not feel that the requested uses for this property are similar and they have not been proven to be legal non -conforming. M. Fry: noted that the Planning Act Section 45(1) speaks to whether a proposal meets the four tests of minor variance. However, that needs to be set aside for this proposal, and the Committee needs to determine whether the requested uses are similar and/or legal non -conforming. It is his interpretation that because boat repairs, boat storage and boat manufacturing and sales are permitted on the property and that the Zoning By -Law is not allowed to be so restrictive that the requested general uses of storage, repairs, manufacturing and sales are similar in nature. Therefore, it is his interpretation that it is within the Committee's power to approve these additional uses. Minutes — January 29, 2026 Page 14 Committee of Adjustment Meeting G. Wallace: noted that the three committee members online do not have copies of the Planning Justification Report. S. Gattie: clarified there was a clerical error and that the Planning Justification Report was not included in the circulation. N. Gamble: asked why this proposal is being done through Committee of Adjustment since staff had already advised the applicant of the appropriate applications such as a Zoning By -Law Application? R. Uukkivi: noted that they had previously applied for a minor variance, however staff had told them at the time that it was not the appropriate avenue and that they needed to apply for a Zoning By-law Amendment. However, the owner has now formally submitted a minor variance application and it is his lawyers legal opinion and the opinion of his planning consultant that permitted 9 new uses to the property can be done through Committee of Adjustment. It is up to the committee to decide if this is the appropriate avenue. M. Fry: reiterated his interpretation of Planning Act Section 45 that the existing uses are permitted to expand through the Committee of Adjustment that because the requested uses are, in his opinion, similar and/or legal non -conforming. S. Gattie: reiterated that there is no record that the property has legal non- conforming status and that it is the owner/applicant's responsibility to prove legal non- conforming. Additionally staff do not interpret the nine new requested uses as similar to the existing permitted uses on the property. R. Uukkivi: our legal opinion is that the applicant does not have to prove legal non- conforming status, but rather the person challenging (i.e. staff) would need to prove the property is not considered legal non -conforming. S. Pohjola: noted it is unfair to put the Committee in a position where it is not informed to make a decision. She recommended the application be tabled for 30 or 60 day so the Committee can review the Planning Justification Report, legal comments from the applicant and so staff can also receive further legal advice on the matter. D. Eastman: asked the applicant how they feel the 9 new requested uses are similar to boat repair and storage? W. Partner: agreed the uses are not similar. D. Eastman: continued that expanding to other uses and vehicles on the property does not seem similar. Minutes — January 29, 2026 Committee of Adjustment Meeting Page 15 M. Fry: reiterated his opinion that the Zoning By -Law is too restrictive and prohibitive. He feels it should be assumed that what council approved is actually broader than what is stated. Therefore boat storage, for example, should permit storage in general. R. Uukkivi: added the intensity of boat repair is similar, or even more, in intensity to repair of other vehicles. Often times it is even the same motor and the nature of the repair is identical. And so the technical use is similar. D. Eastman: noted that something like a farm implement is not similar at all to a boat. He continued to ask why the requested uses are being opened up so generally. And why has the applicant not chosen a specific use to expand to? He asked whether the owner plans to sell the property and if the requested uses are for the purpose of marketing the site? M. Fry: replied that he is not privy to the owners intentions after the application, but that the requested expansion of uses is to provide the owners greater opportunity. W. Partner: Can we ask Council what the intent was in approving the M2-2 Zone? S. Gattie: agreed if the application is tabled, they can ask what the intent was when the M2-2 Zone was approved. W. Partner: Is this property part of the Waterfront Strategy? S. Gattie: staff is not aware of any relation to the Waterfront Strategy. R. Uukkivi: answered that this is not part of the Waterfront Strategy aside from its proximity to the sewage plant. S. Gattie: noted that in the future could the applicants please send all documents to the Committee of Adjustment Email <cofa(�.clarington.net> to ensure it is included in the circulation.

Background 2.1 On March 04, 2026, Planning Staff received an application for a Minor Variance from the applicant of 1688 Taunton Road. 2.2 The proposed minor variance seeks to facilitate the construction of a detached accessory structure in the rear yard of the property by increasing the total permitted accessory structure floor area and the maximum permitted height (See Attachment 6). 2.3 The property currently has a single detached dwelling, several detached accessory structures, and a shipping/cargo container. 3. Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses 3.1 The subject property is located at 1688 Taunton Road in Mitchell Corners, which is located east of Trulls Road and north of Taunton Road (See Figure 1). The property has an approximate lot area of 3010 square meters, a frontage of approximately 39 metres and a depth of approximately 76 metres. 3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows: a. South — Existing single detached dwellings b. North — Vacant agricultural parcel c. East — Existing single detached dwellings d. West — Existing single detached dwellings 4. Public Notice and Submissions 4.1 Pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, the appropriate signage notifying of the application was installed on the subject lands. In addition, the appropriate notice was mailed to each landowner within 60 metres of the subject site. 4.2 At the time of writing this report, Staff have received no comments from members of the public. Municipality of Clarington Committee of Adjustment A-2026-0007 Page 6 5. Discussion Maintain the general intent and purpose of the Clarington Official Plan 5.1 The subject property is designated "Hamlet" within Clarington's Official Plan, which permits the residential use and proposed detached accessory structure. 5.2 The proposed variance to increase the maximum floor area and the maximum height which maintains the intent of the "Hamlet" land use designation in Clarington's Official Plan as it maintains a suitable urban residential sized lot and dwelling type that is consistent with the parcel fabric of the neighbourhood. 5.3 It is Staff's opinion that the proposal maintains the general intent and purpose of the Clarington Official Plan. Maintain the general intent and purpose of Zoning By-law 84-63 5.4 The subject property is zoned "Residential Hamlet (RH)" within Zoning By -Law 84-63, which permits a single detached dwelling and accessory structures. 5.5 This application seeks to facilitate the construction of a detached garage as an accessory structure to the existing single detached dwelling. 5.6 The intent and purpose of maximum floor area is to ensure that there is sufficient area to locate an accessory structure with appropriate setbacks from abutting properties, and to maintain the required landscaping provisions. 5.7 The proposed increase in maximum total accessory structure floor area from 90 square meter to 173 square meter can accommodate all other provisions of the (RH) Zone, including the setbacks and maintaining a minimum 30% landscaped open space and 40% soft landscaping in the front yard. 5.8 The intent and purpose of maximum height for an accessory building is to mitigate potential adverse impacts on neighbouring properties, which includes shadowing and privacy concerns. The proposed increase in height from the permitted 4.5 metres to 5.5 metres for the proposed detached garage does not create shadowing or privacy concerns as it will maintain the required setback of 1.8 metres from the adjacent property's property line. Municipality of Clarington Committee of Adjustment A-2026-0007 Page 7 5.9 No additional variances are required for lot coverage as the total lot coverage for all buildings and structures, including the proposed detached garage, is 15.7%, whereas the zoning permits a maximum lot coverage of 30%. Additionally, all accessory structures combined cannot exceed 10% total lot coverage, and the proposed increase in total accessory floor area will maintain a 6.6% lot coverage for accessory structures. 5.10 The property currently has a shipping/cargo container in the rear yard. As per provision 3.1.(h), "no shipping/cargo container shall be used as an accessory structure on the property." Therefore, the shipping/cargo container is required to be removed by the owner as a conditions of approval of this minor variance application. For the above stated reasons, it is Staff's opinion that the Minor Variance requested maintains the general intent and purpose of Zoning by-law 84-63 for the proposed accessory structure. Desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure 5.11 The proposed detached garage is desirable for the use of the land as it maintains the residential permitted use of the subject property. The proposed variances to increase the total accessory floor area and height is appropriate for the proposed residential development. 5.12 It is Staff's opinion that the Minor Variances required are desirable for the use of land and building as it maintains the residential use of the land. Minor in Nature 5.13 In considering whether the relief sought is minor, Staff note that this test is not simply a question of numbers or a calculation, and that the concept of "minor" maintains a flexible approach. It is understood each variance will be assessed individually, with interpretations based on the unique circumstances of each application. 5.14 The proposed detached garage can accommodate all required parking for the principal dwelling, does not create any adverse impacts on neighbouring properties, and maintains the required setbacks, landscaping provisions, and lot coverage. The applicant is required to ensure there are no grading or drainage impacts to the adjacent property and will submit a grading plan as part of the building permit process. 5.15 The proposed detached garage will have a floor area of 89.2 square metres, with the proposed variance accommodating total accessory structures floor area to 173 square metres which are permitted. The total lot coverage for the proposed accessory structure is 6.6%, with the permitted maximum 10% lot coverage for all accessory structures. The proposed development does not require any additional variances to the zoning such as setbacks, lot coverage, and landscaping provisions. Municipality of Clarington Committee of Adjustment A-2026-0007 Page 8 5.16 It is Staff's opinion that the proposal is minor in nature as it does not have a negative impact on the neighbourhood or land, and it is a moderate increase to the permitted provisions of Zoning By-law 84-63. 6. Conclusion 6.1 Based on Staff's review of the requested Minor Variances, the application maintains the general intent and purpose of the Clarington Official Plan, maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law, is desirable for the appropriate development or use of land, and is deemed to be minor in nature. 6.2 Given the above comments, Staff recommends that: Minor Variance Application A2026-0007 for variances to Section 3.1.c of Zoning By- law 84-63 to facilitate the construction of a new detached accessory structure by increasing the maximum total accessory floor area from 90 square metres to 173 square metres and by increasing the maximum height from 4.5 metres to 5.5 metres, be approved subject to removal of the existing Shipping/cargo container on the property.

Application Details 1.1 Owner: 1.2 Applicant: Richard Bouma Richard Bouma Page 3 1.3 Proposal: A minor variance to facilitate the construction of a detached accessory structure by increasing the maximum total accessory structure height from 4.5 meter to 5.5 meter and decreasing the required floodline setback from 3 meter to 0 meter. 1.4 Area of Lot: 5706 square metres 1.5 Location: 7902 Leskard Road, Leskard 1.6 Zoning: Environmental Protection (EP) and Residential Hamlet (RH) within Zoning By-law 84-63 1.7 Clarington Official Plan Designation: Environmental Protection and Hamlet 1.10 Water, Sewage and Storm Servicing: Private Septic and well Municipality of Clarington Committee of Adjustment A-2026-0009 Page 4 LOT: 31 CON: 8 _____________ J Concession Rd 8 flU o o� Q❑p Ti h Street LOT: 32 a p C.)

Background 2.1 On March 16, 2026, Planning Staff received an application for a Minor Variance from the applicant of 7902 Leskard Road. 2.2 The proposed minor variance seeks to facilitate the construction of a detached accessory structure by increasing the maximum permitted height and reducing the required setback from the floodline (See Attachment 6). 3. Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses 3.1 The subject property is located at 7902 Leskard Road in Leskard and is currently vacant. The property is located west of Leskard Road and South of Concession Road 8 (See Figure 1). The property has an approximate lot area of 5706 square metres, a frontage of approximately 60 metres and a depth of approximately 105 metres. 3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows: a. South — Vacant lots b. North — Vacant lots and existing single detached dwellings c. East — Existing single detached dwellings d. West — Existing single detached dwellings 4. Public Notice and Submissions 4.1 Pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act, the appropriate signage notifying of the application was installed on the subject lands. In addition, the appropriate notice was mailed to each landowner within 60 metres of the subject site. 4.2 At the time of writing this report, Staff have received no comments from members of the public. Municipality of Clarington Committee of Adjustment A-2026-0009 Page 6 5. Discussion Maintain the general intent and purpose of the Clarington Official Plan 5.1 The subject property is designated "Environmental Protection" and "Hamlet" within Clarington's Official Plan, which permits the proposed residential use and the construction of a single detached dwelling with accessory structures. A portion of the subject property is located within the Natural Heritage System (NHS). 5.2 The proposed variance to increase the maximum accessory structure height maintains the intent of the "Hamlet" land use designation in Clarington's Official Plan as it maintains a suitable rural residential sized lot and dwelling type that is consistent with the parcel fabric of the neighbourhood. The proposed detached accessory structure does not encroach into the Environmental Protected Area land use designation. 5.3 It is Staff's opinion that the proposal maintains the general intent and purpose of the Clarington Official Plan. Maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law 5.4 The subject property is zoned "Environmental Protection (EP)" and "Residential Hamlet (RH)" within Zoning By -Law 84-63. Provision 3.14 states that where a lot is divided into multiple zones, each separately zoned portion of the lot shall be used in accordance with the use provisions for the applicable zone. 5.5 This application seeks to facilitate the construction of a detached accessory structure, accessory structures are to be secondary to the primary dwelling. 5.6 The intent and purpose of limiting the height for an accessory structure is to mitigate potential adverse impacts on neighbouring properties, which include shadowing and privacy concerns. The proposed increase in height from the permitted 4.5 metres to 5.5 metres for the proposed detached accessory structure does not create shadowing or privacy concerns as it is setback 16.33 metres from the adjacent property's property line. 5.7 The boundary of the (EP) Zone on the property is determined by the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority (GRCA) floodplain mapping, as outlined in Section 26.3.f of Zoning By-law 84-63. Generally, and a 3 meter setback for any proposed development is required. 5.8 The proposed structure as outlined on the Site Plan (See Attachment 6) is within the required setbacks. The GRCA provided comments that they had no concerns for the development in the proposed location and have also issued a building permit for the proposed detached accessory structure (See Attachment 5). 5.9 For the above stated reasons, it is Staff's opinion that the Minor Variance requested maintains the general intent and purpose of Zoning by-law 84-63. Municipality of Clarington Committee of Adjustment /e6�'fiI'I'I1 Page 7 Desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure 5.10 The appropriate use of the land for 7902 Leskard Road is residential. The proposed detached accessory structure is desirable for the use of the land as it maintains the residential permitted use of the subject property. The proposed variances to increase the total accessory structure height and reduced setback is appropriate for the proposed residential development as there are sufficient setbacks from neighbouring properties, structures and the street line. 5.11 It is Staff's opinion that the Minor Variances are desirable for the use of land and building as it maintains the residential use of the land. Minor in Nature 5.12 In determining if the variances are minor, Staff note the test is not simply a question of numbers or a calculation, and that the concept of "minor" maintains a flexible approach. It is understood each variance will be assessed individually, with interpretations based on the unique circumstances of each application. 5.13 The proposed detached accessory structure can accommodate all required parking for the principal dwelling, does not create any adverse impacts on neighbouring properties, and maintains the required setbacks, landscaping provisions, and lot coverage. The applicant is required to ensure there are no grading or drainage impacts to the adjacent property and will submit a grading plan as part of the building permit process. 5.14 The proposed detached accessory structure will have a floor area of 60 square metres, with the proposed variance accommodating future accessory structures which are permitted. The total lot coverage for the proposed accessory structure is 0.1%, with the permitted maximum 10% lot coverage for all accessory structures. 5.15 It is Staff's opinion that the proposal is minor in nature as it does not have a negative impact on the neighbourhood or land, and it is a moderate deviation to the permitted provisions of Zoning By-law 84-63. 6. Conclusion 6.1 Based on Staff's review of the requested Minor Variances, the application maintains the general intent and purpose of the Clarington Official Plan, maintains the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law, is desirable for the appropriate development or use of land, and is deemed to be minor in nature. 6.2 Given the above comments, Staff recommends that: Minor Variance Application A2026-0009 for variances to Section 3.1.c of Zoning By- law 84-63 to facilitate the construction of a new detached accessory structure by increasing the maximum height from 4.5 metres to 5.5 metres and reducing the minimum 3 meter setback requirement from (EP) Zone, be approved.
