REPORT NO.: PsD-010-03 PAGE 2 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 On November 15, 2002, the Planning Services Department received a request from Carolyn Wilson, the owner of 182 Church Street, Bowmanville (Attachment 1) for permission to remove all original six-over-six sash windows from the designated heritage building (Attachment 2), This property was designated in 1997 under By-law 97-16 (Attachment 3). 1,2 The request was forwarded on to the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC) for consideration at their November 19th meeting, Upon review of the application the LACAC passed the following motion: 'That the Chair or LACAC liaison will contact the home owners, thank them for their letter and discuss heritage renovations that might solve their concem, If they still want to remove the windows, LACAC will arrange to have the designation by-law changed about the six-over-six sash windows," 1,3 At the request of the Chair, the LACAC Liaison contacted the owner to discuss the possibility of restoring the existing windows instead of replacing them. The owner subsequently agreed to retain the original windows and second story door in the front fac;:ade and replace the windows in the east and west elevations only. Ms, Wilson revised her alteration proposal in a letter dated November 25th, 2002 (Attachment 4). The revision was forwarded to Council and the LACAC. 2.0 COMMENTS 2.1 Section 33 (1) of the Ontario Heritage Act states that no owner of a property designated under Par IV of the Act shall alter the property or permit the alteration of the property where the alteration is likely to affect the reason for the designation unless the owner applies to Council and receives consent in writing, On December 9th Ms. Wilson's application for alteration was reviewed by Council. Council referred the correspondence to the Director of Planning Services and the LACAC, 651 '- ,. 1 REPORT NO.: PSO-010-03 PAGE 3 2.2 The Act states that Council is to notify the owner that the application has been received. Notification dated December 11th was forwarded to Ms. Wilson. Council is to consult with the LACAC and make a decision within 90 days of notifying the owner. If Council consents to the application upon certain terms and conditions, or refuses the application, the owner may apply to Council for a hearing before the conservation Review Board. 2.3 The LACAC and Planning Services staff are both sympathetic to the additional expenses incurred by property owners in restoring and maintaining a heritage structure, It is to this effect that the LACAC approved the motion to support the removal of the original windows if the owner perceived this as the only viable option. 2.4 Ms, Wilson's original proposal to remove all original windows would have necessitated a heritage by-law amendment as the six-over-six sash windows are listed as one of the designated exterior architectural features, It will no longer be necessary to amend by-law 97-16 as the original six-over-six sash windows will remain in the front faliBde, Replacement of the east and west windows in this building will not have a serious detrimental affect on the reasons for designation. Although the east and west elevations can be seen from the street, it is the front fa<;:ade which is the most significant. 3.0 CONCLUSION 3,1 Staff recommend that the application for alteration from Ms. Wilson, dated November 25, 2002, to replace the six-over-six sash windows in the east and west elevation with six-over-six reproduction windows, be approved.

In order to do this our monthly energy expenditures will have to be greatly reduced and maintenance will have to be streamlined, We have gone over the pros and cons of replacement windows many times and feel they are necessary for reducing our monthly costs, Repairing the existing windows and having wooden stonns and separate wooden screens made would entail: - Cost, possiblv less up front but over time would prove to be more costly - Yearly putty and painting would be necessary - Hiring someone twice a year to put them on and take them off because of the height of the upper windows and the size of the main floor windows, Safe storage in this case would/be a ." problem. - Even if we don't seasonally remove them they wquldstill have to be removed on a regular basis for cleaning. (PJ~~ebeat:iI1.. (fg"~~ D___ mind the "insides" of all the windows haven't b~~:cl&a.!led in '- "" " years because it entails actually removing the oU$ide ',' ,.", , aluminum stonns, All of the main floor windowsJiave been painted shut. 659 r '- .. ~, . Page 2 We will gladly work with someone to restore, repair and make a period style storm "DOOR" for the upper front South facing window/door. And, if necessary, also leave the 2 main floor front windows (South facing) as they are and at some time in the future have them restored with period style wooden storms. Our main concern as winter approaches is the upper East and West facing windows. They are in bad repair and very fragile, possibly due to the constant condensation between the original windows and the aluminum storms. We can't seem to get the temperature upstairs above 62 degrees F. The replacement windows we would like to use are reproduction 6 over 6 and I would have them made in IVORY so they won't stand out like white ones would. Also, I would go with only bottom half screens which is more in line with older windows. Thanking you in advance for your attention to this matter, Yours truly, Y;~rfl/~&Y-- Carolyn Wilson 182 Church Street, Bowmanville, OnLIC IT9 905 634-6868 66U
