BACKGROUND f Z, i 4 'Y ...... .- y xf 1.1 The Walbridge house was built in the early 1800's, it is verified as being in place by 1825 to 1826. It was built by Asa E. Walbridge, a prominent member of the Newcastle community and one of the founding Directors of the Bond Head Harbour Company. The house is a one and a half storey, five panel front, Georgian style home which exhibits a profile and arrangement of exterior features favoured in the earlier decades of the 19th century. 1.2 There are only 92 known buildings in all of Ontario that are of this vintage. The Walbridge House may be the second oldest house within the historic boundaries of the former Durham County and is most likely the oldest building in Clarington on its original foundation. 1.3 Starting in 1805, the Methodists had what were called Saddlebag Preachers and the Smith's Creek Circuit stretched from Belleville to York (Toronto). The Walbridge House eventually became part of this circuit. In November of 1974, the 150th anniversary of Methodism in Newcastle was celebrated and the opening ceremonies took place at the home. REPORT NO.: PSD-039-13 PAGE 3 1 .4 From 1950 to 1958 this house was known as the Gladibrae Tourist Home, a bed and breakfast owned and operated by Harry and Louise Jose. Descendents of the Walbridge family continued to reside in this home until 1987 when it was sold to a developer. 1.5 On May 30, 2012, Brian and Audrey Jose, descendents of the Walbridge family, purchased the designated home from the developer with the intent of restoring the home for use as a residence. The owners and their agent have been providing regular updates to the Clarington Heritage Committee on the status of the architectural research and demolition restoration. 2. APPLICATION DETAILS 2.1 Applicant: Brian and Audrey Jose, owners Agent: Jim Sculthorpe, contractor Alteration: Refurbishment of the entire home, beginning with structural/foundation work and proceeding with reconstruction, with the intention of working with the Clarington Heritage Committee on the materials and exterior architectural finishes throughout the refurbishment process. Location: 483 King Avenue East, Newcastle 2.2 Plans have been provided by the contractor (Attachment 2) detailing the proposed structural and foundation work to be undertaken. 3. THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT 3.1 The Ontario Heritage Act empowers a Municipality to pass a by-law designating a property to be of cultural heritage value or interest. On May 14, 2007, Council approved the heritage designation of 483 King Avenue East under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, 3.2 The following features are referenced in documentation as being specific to the character of the property that should be protected: • The clapboard siding; • The original six over six, four over four, and three over one windows; • The original stone foundation; • The hand hewn logs upon which the ground floor rests; • The six over six sidelights, transom, 39" wide entrance door, and entablature; • The servant's staircase; • Window casings, interior doors and woodwork, wood flooring, and pole rafters, REPORT NO.: PSD-039-13 PAGE 4 3.3 The Ontario Heritage Act stipulates that the owner of a property designated under Part IV cannot alter the property where such alteration is likely to affect the reasons for designation without consent of Council. Council is required to consider any application for alteration of a designated heritage property in consultation with its heritage committee. 3.4 For municipalities where a heritage committee exists, Section 33(15) of the Ontario Heritage Act permits the delegation of the power to consent to alterations to an employee or official of the municipality. Section 33(16) directs that the scope of delegation of this power be defined as to whether it be applicable to all or certain alterations, 3.5 The Clarington Heritage Committee (CHC) reviewed the request for alterations to the designated heritage property during their May 28, 2413 meeting. They passed the following motion in support of the required alterations to the Walbridge House: "THAT Council approve as an alteration under the Ontario Heritage Act, the works to stabilize the foundation and structure and authorize the Clarington Heritage Committee to work with the Walbridge House property owner and their agent on 483 King Avenue East, Newcastle to monitor and provide ongoing advice on the refurbishment of the house as shown on the attached plans, dated May 27, 2013 such that the architectural and cultural significance for which the house was designated are retained." 4, STAFF COMMENTS 4.1 The proposed structure and foundation works are necessary in order to stabilize and preserve the designated heritage structure. The additional alterations that will be reviewed with the Heritage Committee and Staff are intended to retain the heritage character and features of the home and the reasons for its designation. 4.2 Due to the extent of the refurbishment required to bring this building to a habitable state and into conformity with the Building Code, a number of approvals for alterations will be required as the reconstruction process unfolds. It is recommended that the power to consent to alterations for the Walbridge House be delegated to the Director of Planning Services, who in consultation with the Clarington Heritage Committee will work with the owner and agent. The delegation of approval will streamline the process to avoid unnecessary delay awaiting Council approvals. 5. CONCURRENCE — Not Applicable 6. CONCLUSION 6.1 The Clarington Heritage Committee's function under the Ontario Heritage Act is to provide advice and assistance to Council on matters of heritage conservation. The CHC is in support of the alterations to improve the building envelope. Further, the CHC are REPORT NO.: PSD-439-13 PAGE 5 willing to work with the owner and agent regarding the numerous alterations that will be required to bring this home back to its former architectural significance. 6.2 Staff support the request for alteration to this designated property and recommend Council approve delegation of power, to consent to alterations for the Walbridge House to the Director of Planning Services in consultation with the CHC.
