REPORT NO. : PD-143-83 Page 2
BACKGROUND:
On September 12, 1983 Council received and considered three
requests for historical designation of various properties
within the Town. Two of these, the Waltham Cottage in
Bowmanville and the Clarke Library/Museum in Orono, were
referred to staff for a report. By resolution it was
decided that no action would be taken at this time in
respect of the third request.
COMMENT:
Pursuant to the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act where
Council intends to designate a property to be of historic or
architectural value or interest, it must provide notice of
this intention after consultation with the Local Advisory
Committee where such a Committee has been appointed.
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,
