PURPOSE OF THE REPORT The purpose of this report is to provide Council with direction from the Heritage Advisory Committee regarding the request to remove the property located at 12 Ransom Street from the Aurora Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest. BACKGROUND The owner of the property located at 92 Tyler Street submitted an Application to request that the subject property be removed from the Aurora Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest on April 15,2015.The owner of the subject property wishes to construct a new single detached structure on the subject lands. According to Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act,a Municipal Register of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest may include properties that have not been designated under the Ontario Heritage Act,but that the Council of a Municipality believes to be of cultural heritage value or interest. The principal implication of properties non-designated and listed on the Aurora Register pertains to subsection 27.(3)of the Ontario Heritage Act where, If property included in the register under subsection (1.2)has not been designated under section 29,the owner of the property shall not demolish or remove a building or structure on the property or permit the demolition Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday,July 13,2015 Item 1 Page -1 -7 - June 8,2015 -2 -Report No.HAC15-002 or removal of the building or structure unless the owner gives the council of the municipality at least 60 days notice in writing of the owner’s intention to demolish or remove the building or structure or to permit the demolition or removal of the building or structure.2006,c.11,Sched.B, s.11 (2). The purpose of providing Council with 60 days to determine the Notice of Intention is to provide time to determine whether or not the property should be designated under the Ontario Heritage Act.According to subsection 27.(1.3)of the Ontario Heritage Act,the Council of a Municipality shall,before removing the reference to such a property from the Register,consult with its Municipal Heritage Committee. COMMENTS The subject property is located on the north side of Ransom Street between Yonge Street and Temperance Street (See Attachment 1).The property is listed and non- designated on the Aurora Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest and can be described as a 1 ½storey worker’s house.The building was constructed c. 1923 by Albert Grimwalde.A brief history and land ownership records for the property can be found in Attachment 5. The south (front)façade displays a gabled roof with a porch and verandah.The building displays a front porch,supported by four wood columns.The front façade displays three double-hung windows,one on the first floor and two on the second floor. The original siding of the main building may have been either removed or covered, however the existing siding reflects the original look of the building.An accessory garage is also located in the rear yard;there is no recorded date to its construction. The subject property is located on the southern edge of the Heritage Resources Area boundary.The property can be described as a transition lot between homes of relatively new construction to the south and homes of older construction to the north and west (on Temperance Street). The Evaluation Working Group met to perform an objective evaluation of the subject property on Monday April 30,2015 (See Attachment 3).The Evaluation Criteria for assessing the cultural heritage value of cultural heritage resources have been developed by the Town in consultation with its Municipal Heritage Committee.As per Section 13.3 e)of the Official Plan,Priority will be given to designating all Group 1 heritage resources in the Register. The purpose of the Evaluation is to identify the design/physical value, historical/associative value,and contextual value of the property as per Ontario Regulation 9/06,which outlines the criteria for determining cultural heritage value or Interest under the Ontario Heritage Act in order to conserve significant heritage resources. Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday,July 13,2015 Item 1 Page -2 -8 - June 8,2015 -3 -Report No.HAC15-002 The Evaluation found the subject property to score at Group 3,suggesting that the property is “moderately significant,worthy of documentation and preservation as part of a historic grouping”. According to the Heritage Evaluation Guide for buildings scored within Group 3: The designation of the building pursuant to the Ontario Heritage Act may be supported with an approved restoration plan,but would not necessarily be initiated by the Town unless part of a historic grouping such as an intact streetscape; Retention of the building on site is supported,particularly if part of a historic streetscape;and If the building is to be demolished,a photographic record,measured drawings and/or salvage of significant architectural elements may be required. The conservation of remaining physical attributes of the property would require formal designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act,making it necessary for owners to obtain Heritage Permits for proposed work. The Ontario Heritage Act provides criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest with Ontario Regulation 9/06.This Regulation requires that a building must exhibit significant design/physical,or associative,or contextual value to warrant designation.The Evaluation working group found the highest rated category for the building was to have some contextual value,rated 41/100.Design/physical value for the building was rated 30/100.The associative value for the building was rated 40/100. Ransom Street,between Yonge Street to the east and Temperance Street to the west, encompasses a total of thirteen (13)properties,three (3)of which are listed on the Aurora Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest.This includes:8 and 20 Ransom Street.The predominant architectural designs of these homes are in a Workers House style.The property located at 20 Ransom Street is designed as an L- shaped/vernacular building.Furthermore an additional ten (10)properties are listed on the Aurora Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest along Temperance Street,all of which are designed in a Foursquare/Edwardian style. The remaining single detached dwellings on the south side of Ransom Street are not of historical interest to the Town,most of which date to between approximately 1960 to present day.These homes reflect a variety of brick and stone construction and display attached garages on front elevations. Proposed Concept Plan The owner wishes to remove the property from the Aurora Register as a non-designated ‘listed’property with the intention of demolishing the existing structure on the subject Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday,July 13,2015 Item 1 Page -3 -9 - June 8,2015 -4 -Report No.HAC15-002 property to construct a new building.A Photo of the proposed building type were provided by the owner are shown in Attachment 4. The applicant is proposing to build a new single detached residence with an attached two car garage on the front façade.Planning Staff will work with the applicant on detailed aspects of the building during the building permit process. It is recommended that the proposed design of the new structure be modified to respect the heritage character of remaining listed properties on Ransom Street.The owner and Staff have collaborated on a number of design elements for the new building to be in keeping with the neighbourhood.The attached garage will not protrude beyond the front wall of the main building.The building proposes black roofs and red coloured brick, which is in keeping with colours and materials of the surrounding neighbourhood. LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN The conservation of heritage resources supports the Strategic Plan goal of Supporting an Exceptional Quality of Life for All through its accomplishment in satisfying requirements in objective Celebrating and Promoting our Culture. ALTERNATIVE(S)TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS 1.Refuse the application and recommend that the property remain listed on the Aurora Registrar of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest. 2.Refuse the application and recommend Designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS None. PREVIOUS REPORTS None. CONCLUSIONS It is recommended that the Heritage Advisory Committee receive report No.HAC15-002 and recommend to Council that the property located at 12 Ransom Street be removed from the Aurora Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest.

The subject property is located within the Heritage Resources Area boundary.The property is located at the edge of the residential neighbourhood to the west.Existing employment uses and the GO station are located to the east. The Evaluation Working Group met to perform an objective evaluation of the subject property on Tuesday June 16,2015 (See Attachment 3).The Evaluation Criteria for assessing the cultural heritage value of cultural heritage resources have been developed by the Town in consultation with its Municipal Heritage Committee.As per Section 13.3 e)of the Official Plan,Priority will be given to designating all Group 1 heritage resources in the Register.

The Evaluation found the subject property to score at the low end of Group 2, suggesting that the property is “significant,worthy of preservation”. According to the Heritage Evaluation Guide for buildings scored within Group 2: The designation of the building pursuant to the Ontario Heritage Act will be encouraged; The retention of the structure in its existing location is encouraged; Any development application affecting such a structure should incorporate the identified building;and Appropriate alternative uses for the building will be encouraged when necessary to ensure its preservation. A Letter of Credit may be required to ensure the protection and preservation of the building in connection with a redevelopment application. The conservation of remaining physical attributes of the property would require formal designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act,making it necessary for owners to obtain Heritage Permits for proposed work. The Ontario Heritage Act provides criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest with Ontario Regulation 9/06.This Regulation requires that a building must exhibit significant design/physical,or associative,or contextual value to warrant designation.The Evaluation working group found the highest rated category for the building was to have some contextual value,rated 54/100.Design/physical value for the building was rated 37/100.The associative value for the building was rated 42/100.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS None. PREVIOUS REPORTS None. CONCLUSIONS The subject was evaluated using the Town of Aurora Heritage Building Evaluation Guide and was rated in Group 2,which encourages the retention of the building as well as designation under the Ontario Heritage Act. The building does not appear to exhibit significant design/physical,contextual,or associative value to a degree which warrants designation under the Ontario Heritage Act as per Ontario Regulation 9/06.The building’s strongest value was found to be contextual.However,the Evaluation determined that the property contributed,rather than maintained,defined,supported the heritage character of the area. It is recommended that the proposed elevations are subject to approval of Planning Staff to ensure the proposed new dwelling will maintain the heritage character of the area. As such,it is recommended that the property be removed from the Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest.

PURPOSE OF THE REPORT The purpose of this report is to provide the Heritage Advisory Committee with information regarding the request to distinguish between “Designated”and “Listed” properties on the Aurora Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest. BACKGROUND Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act requires municipalities to maintain a municipal Register that includes key information on all properties which have been designated under the Ontario Heritage Act.The Register also includes non-designated properties that have cultural heritage value or interest.These are called “listed”properties.This list is formulated with the assistance of Town Staff and the Aurora Heritage Advisory Committee.All properties included on the Register are endorsed by Town Council. The Aurora Registrar of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest was previously known as The Aurora Inventory of Heritage Buildings.The Aurora Registrar was prepared by the Heritage Advisory Committee (previously known as the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee)between 1976 and 1981.The Aurora Registrar was adopted by Council and released in 1981.Since then,the Aurora Registrar has been updated and endorsed by Council from time-to-time as other heritage buildings are discovered.The current Aurora Registrar contains over 650 properties within the Town. Designated Properties A Designated Heritage Property is a property designated under either Part IV of Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act.The Ontario Heritage Act gives municipal councils the authority to conserve buildings and districts that have significant cultural heritage resources.A Part IV designation applies to individual properties including (but not limited to)parks,houses,trees and monuments.A Part V designation applies to entire Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday,July 13,2015 Item 3 Page -1 -40 - June 8,2015 -2 -Report No.HAC15-003 neighbourhoods,which are known as Heritage Conservation Districts.Once a property is designated,the status is registered on title and gains public recognition (which may include a heritage plaque).The designation will protect the property from demolition or unsympathetic alterations to designated heritage elements.Each designated property includes a corresponding designation by-law,which lists the designated heritage elements of the property.Any alterations or additions to the property require a Heritage Permit,which may be reviewed by either Staff or the Heritage Advisory Committee depending on the nature of the proposal. A property under consideration of designation must meet certain criteria in order to be designated.The Ontario Heritage Act provides criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest with Ontario Regulation 9/06.This Regulation requires that a building must exhibit significant design/physical,or associative,or contextual value to warrant designation.A property does not need to meet all criteria as shown above,but a property worthy of designation contributes to a sense of place and understanding of a community’s identity and history. If the owner of a designated property were to submit an application for demolition of the building or structure,Section 29 subsection 4.of the Ontario Heritage Act would apply where, Within 90 days after the notice of receipt is served on the applicant under subsection (3),the council,after consultation with its municipal heritage committee, shall,consent to the application,consent to the application on terms and conditions, or refuse the application;and shall give notice of its decision to the owner of the property and to the Trust.2002,c.18,Schedule.F,s.2 (17);2005,c.6,s.1. In 2005,the Ontario Heritage Act was amended to give municipalities the power to refuse the demolition of a designated heritage structure.The Act was further amended to provide enhanced protection measures for Heritage Conservation Districts.
