2 . THAT a Designated Property Grant in the amount of $3,000 . 00

BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
The Masonic Lodge, located at 19 King Street East, Bowmanville,
was designated as being of historical and architectural value in
November 1990 . Restoration work has recently been completed on
the exterior of the building and an application for a Designated
Property Grant has been submitted.
The Ontario Heritage Act, 1974, states that owners of property
which has been designated under the Act can apply to the
municipality for grants of 50 percent of the total cost of the
work, to a maximum of $3,000 . 00 in any calendar year to offset
the cost of restoration work. Once the grant has been paid by
the municipality, application is made to the province for
reimbursement of the entire amount, plus 10 percent to cover
administrative costs .
Report CD-24-91 - 2 - June 3, 1991
Extensive restoration work was completed, however, only the work
completed on the fretwork and the copper foiled glass windows is
eligible for the grant, under the guidelines of the Act. The
total cost of this work is $8, 020 .
The Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee has
inspected the work and it is found to be satisfactory.
It is, therefore, recommended that the grant application
submitted by Mr. William Paterson, on behalf of Bowmanville
Masonic Holdings, in the amount of $3,000, being the maximum
allowable under the Ontario Heritage Act, be approved.
Respectfully submitted Recommended for Presentation
