For the limited benefit that could be derived from this ezcecioe, it was agreed that it would be advisable not to proceed with such a study. It was felt that identification of specific historical buildings would be a better alternative. 2.3 Therefore, there will be no further action required on this matter and staff is recommending that both report PD-II9-88 and this addendum report be received for information.

July 7, 1988 DN: 119-88 �,( 1) TOWN OF NEWCASTLE REPORT File C_ Res. # By-Law # MEETING: General Purpose and Administration Committee DATE: Monday, June 6, 1988 REPORT #: PD-119-88 FILE #: PLN 18.1 SUBJECT: ORONO HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICTS RECOMMENDATIONS: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1. THAT Report PD-119-88 be received; and 2. THAT a copy of Report PD-119-88 be forwarded to Phyllis Dewell of the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee. 1. BACKGROUND: At the Council Meeting of February 22, 1988, Council referred the attached correspondence from the Town's Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee to Staff for review and report. In that regard, the subject correspondence was originated as a result of a Council request to L.A.C.A.C. to undertake necessary studies in respect of designating or the possible designation of Orono as a Heritage Conservation District. It is Staff's understanding that Council's intention was to have L.A.C.A.C. initiate and undertake the necessary study and report back to Council. However, it appears that L.A.C.A.C. is not interested in undertaking this Study themselves and hence, this matter is referred to Staff for review and report. . . .2 REPORT 00. : PD-1I9-88 PAGE 3 _______________________________________________________________________________ 3. COMMENTS: The 1988 Budget of the Planning Department did not make any provision to retain any consultant aacvloeo to undertake studies as required by the Ministry of Culture and Communications for possible designation of 0znuo as Heritage Conservation District. If Council wishes to pocooe this matter, Staff suggest that Council provide the necessary direction to have sufficient funds allocated for this purpose in the 1989 Budget for the Planning Department. The estimated cost of such Study would be between $20,000.00 to $35,000.08.
