Inasmuch as the subject requests have been generated by the Local Advisory Committee, Council may, if it deems advisable, proceed to provide notice of intent to designate in accordance with the requirements prescribed by the Ontario Heritage Act. Staff have reviewed the properties in question and have no objection to their designation as heritage properties. It would therefore be appropriate for Council to approve the requests and to initiate the necessary procedures. Respec u ted, T.T. Edwards, M.C.I.P. Director of Planning TTE*j i p Septe r 27, 1983
