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 atted, T.T. Edwards, M.C.I.P.
