Date: Monday, October 7, 1991 Res. # By-Law# Report#: PDr-236i-m9lile #: P1 19. 1 Stjbject: PROPOSED HERITAGE DESIGNATIONS ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Recommendations: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1. THAT Report PD-236-91 be received, 2 . THAT the request of the Town of Newcastle Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee to designate as Historical Structures, these properties listed on Attachment Nos. 1 through 4 hereto, be approved; 3 . THAT the Clerk prepare, send and publish the required notices of intent pursuant to the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act and report back to Council following the prescribed notification period; and 4 . THAT the Town of Newcastle Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee be advised of Council's decision. 1. BACKGROUND 1. 1 The Planning Department has received copies of requests submitted by the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (L.A.C.A.C. ) to designate a total of 4 properties as having historic and/or architectural value or interest. The subject properties are described on Attachment Nos. 1 through 4 hereto, and are listed below: the Orono Armory, 6 Park Street, Orono 67 Ontario Street, Bowmanville 27 King Street West, Bowmanville Enfield United Church, 1640 Concession Road 9, Part Lot 31, Concession 9, former Township of Darlington. REPORT NO. : PD-236-91 PAGE 2 All four properties have been identified in the Town of Newcastle's L.A.C.A.C. inventory as being structures of "primary" heritage value. 1. 2 The Ontario Heritage Act empowers a municipality to pass a by-law designating a property to be of historic or .architectural value or interest. The Act stipulates that the owner of property so designated cannot alter the property 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 L.A.C.A.C. 1. 3 The Chairman of L.A.C.A.C. has advised that three (3) of the designation requests have been made in response to requests submitted by the respective property owners. L.A.C.A.C. has provided the property owners with relevant information related to the designation of their properties, including the restrictions placed on their properties as the result of designation. 1. 4 The request for the designation of the Orono Armory, however, has been submitted by L.A.C.A.C. itself. This property is currently owned by the Town of Newcastle. As the structure has been listed for sale, the L.A.C.A.C. is concerned that its fate will be in question once the ownership changes. This building is very significant to the residents of Orono and, indeed, to the entire municipality. 2 . COMMENTS: 2. 1 The Committee should be aware that the designation request of the Orono Armory is based on the preservation of the exterior masonry with its decorative corbelling and pilasters, the small paned windows and voussoirs of the second storey, the small paned windows on both floors at the rear and the circular windows and trim of the third floor. The designation process will protect these exterior I REPORT NO. : PD-236-91 PAGE 3 features from being altered but will not affect any changes which may be made to the interior of the building. There are also grants available from the provincial government to restore features which have been listed in the reason for designation. 2 . 2 Staff have reviewed the four (4) , properties indicated on Attachment Nos. 1 through 4 in terms of their Official Plan and Zoning By-law designations and, as well, have conducted external .visual inspections of the properties. Staff have no objection to designating the four (4) subject properties pursuant to the Ontario Heritage Act as having historical or architectural significance. 2.3 It is therefore recommended that the Clerk prepare, send and publish the required notices of intent pursuant to Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and report back to Council following the prescribed notification period.
