1.2 The Ontario Heritage Act empowers a municipality to pass a by-
law designating a house to be of historic and /or architectural
value or interest. The Act stipulates that the owner of
structure so designated can not alter the structure where such
alteration is likely to affect the reason for the designation,
without the written consent of Council. Council is required
to consider any application for alteration of a designated
property in consultation with the L.A.C.A.C.
1.3 The Chairperson of the L.A.C.A.C. has advised that the
designation request has been made in response to a request
submitted by the respective property owner. The L.A.C.A.C.
has provided the property owner with relevant information
related to the designation of the property, including the
restrictions placed on the property as a result of
designation.
2. COMMENTS
2.1 Staff have reviewed the property indicated on Attachment No.
