Executive Summary
The purpose of this report is to provide Council with direction from the Heritage Advisory

proposed second storey addition and rear yard addition located at 29 Mark Street,

Background
The owner of 29 Mark Street submitted Heritage Permit Application NE-HCD-HPA-17-
15 on August 21, 2017.
Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda
Monday, October 16, 2017
Item 1
Page 1 of 18
October 16, 2017 -2 -Report No. HAC17-022
The owner proposes to remove the existing roof and construct a 118.8m2 2nd storey
addition above the existing structure. The owner is also proposing a 3m2 rear addition
on the first storey of the existing building. The owner has removed some of the existing
windows in anticipation of the proposed alteration.
The subject property was designated in 2006 under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act
as part of the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District. Section 42 of the Act
states that,
No owner of property situated in a heritage conservation district that has
been designated by a municipality under this Part shall do any of the
following, unless the owner obtains a permit from the municipality to do
so: “1. Alter, or permit the alteration of, any part of the property, other
than the interior of any structure or building on the property; 2. Erect,
demolish or remove any building or structure on the property or permit
the erection, demolition or removal of such a building or structure.
The Heritage Permit Application was deemed complete by staff on August 25, 2017.
Council has 90 days to respond to the Application or else the Application is
automatically approved.
Location
The subject property is located on the south side of Mark Street, located three lots west
of Spruce Street (See Attachment 1). The property is a Designated, non-listed property
on the Aurora Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest, located
within the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District.
Analysis
Architectural and Historical Value
The existing building can be described as a 1 storey ranch house with a front gable and
side gable split roofline (see Attachment 2). According to Town records, the building
was constructed in1966. The building is a wood framed structure finished with brick
siding and vertical wood clapboard siding. The front entrance features an overhang from
the front gable roof. The façade features a picture window on the west side and two 1
over 1 double hung windows on the east side. Below the picture window features a
second entrance, which was converted from a garage in the past. Two existing sheds
are located in the rear yard. Due to the topography of the south side of Mark Street a
stone retaining wall runs along the front property line stretching from 29 Mark Street to
19 Mark Street to the west.
There is no historical information available for the property. There are no fire insurance
maps available for Mark Street. Upon review of York Maps historical imagery, a
previous structure appears to have existed on both 29 Mark and 31 Mark circa 1954.

October 16, 2017 -3 -Report No. HAC17-022
Neighbourhood Context
The property is located within the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District.
The existing building is contextually linked to the surrounding residential buildings on
Mark Street, forming an important component to the heritage character of the District.
Non-Heritage Buildings within the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation
District Plan
Section 4.4. of the District Plan states that non-heritage buildings are in the minority in
the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District are non-heritage buildings.
Most of these properties are good neighbours to the heritage buildings in scale,
massing and design.
Proposed Concept Plan
The owner wishes to construct a 2nd storey addition above the existing designated, non-
listed property. With the proposed alteration, the owner proposes to maintain the brick
on the existing first storey. All architectural elements above the brick line, including
windows, roof and the vertical wood clapboard are proposed to be removed.
The proposed new second storey is to be finished in James Hardie board and batten
siding. The 2nd storey is proposed to be capped with a hipped roof comprising of asphalt
shingles. The windows are proposed as casement windows, which is appropriate for
non-heritage buildings such as ranch houses.
The existing concreate stone finish around the foundation is proposed to be replaced
with a grey-mix Permacon Lafitt stone finish. Finally, the owner has removed the
existing wood retaining wall surrounding the existing driveway and replace with a stone
retaining wall to match the proposed foundation finish. The stone retaining wall facing
Mark Street is to remain.
The owner has provided elevations for the proposed building (see Attachment # 4).
Sections 4.4.2 and 9.4 of the District Plan outline the design approach for alterations
and additions to non-heritage buildings within the Heritage Conservation District.
Section 4.4.2: Additions and alterations to these non-heritage buildings can either
introduce changes that reflect the historic architectural styles and features of the area
so as to better fit into the area’s historic character, or they can make changes that are
consistent with the existing style of the building.
The proposed design has conducted a complementary alteration approach and has
selected building materials which is complementary to adjacent heritage resources to
the west.
Guideline: Additions and alterations using the complementary design approach should
respect, and be consistent with, the original design of the building.
Existing brick, window and door openings on the front elevation will be preserved.

Section 9.1.2.2 of the district plan includes siting specifications new and existing
buildings within the District. The maximum permitted building depth for structures is 16.8
metres.
The proposed rear addition will create a maximum building depth of 12.2 metres, which
is in keeping with the building depth provisions of the District Plan.
Section 9.2.3 of the district plan requires total glazing to not exceed 40% of the façade.
Traditionally glazing is to encompass 15-20% of the façade.
The owner has proposed 28.5% glazing on the front elevation and 40% on the rear
elevation. The owner has reduced the glazing of the front elevation to bring a more
appropriate proportion in keeping with the District Plan. The 40% glazing in the rear
elevation will not face the street.
Guideline: In siting garages and additions, follow the polices in Section 4.2 of this plan.
The owner proposes to convert the existing door opening on the basement level back to
a garage. A garage was originally located in the lower level as hinted by existing non-
heritage buildings to the east.
Section 5.7b) :Existing mature trees and other vegetative amenities in the public realm
should be retained and preserved except where removal is necessary due to disease or
damage, or to ensure public health and safety.
All existing trees on the site are proposed to be preserved.
Section 4.5.1: Historically appropriate heights for new residential buildings are
considered to be 1 ½ to 2 ½ storeys, subject to an actual height limit of 9 metres to the
mid-slope of the roof.
The proposed height of the 2nd storey is 8.96 metres, which complies with the District
Plan.

Item 2
Page 1 of 17
October 16, 2017 -2 -Report No. HAC17-020
Background
On February 13 2013, a Memorandum was provided to the Heritage Advisory
Committee in regards to the heritage status of the Aurora Armoury located at 89 Mosley
Street and Town Park located at 49 Wells Street. As the memorandum was prepared
during the development of the Southeast Heritage Conservation District Study, staff

The Armoury was Designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by Council on
April 22 2014.
Location
The subject property is located southeast of Yonge Street and Wellington Street East,
bounded by Mosley Street to the north, Larmont Street to the east, Metcalfe Street to
the south and Wells Street to the west (See Attachment 1). The property is neither a
designated or listed property on the Aurora Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest.

Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda
Monday, October 16, 2017
Item 2
Page 2 of 17
October 16, 2017 -3 -Report No. HAC17-020
Municipal processes within the Town of Aurora require the owner to submit a Heritage
Permit application should a request to alter the property under Section 33 of the Ontario
Heritage Act be requested by the owner. Approval of a Heritage Permit is provided
either by Council or through staff (via delegation By-law 5365-11).
Provincial Policy Statement (2014)
The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial
interest. The PPS identifies that significant built heritage resources and significant
cultural heritage landscapes shall be conserved.
York Region Official Plan
The York Region Official Plan requires local municipalities to conserve significant
cultural heritage resources and ensure that development and site alteration of adjacent
lands to protected heritage properties will conserve the heritage attributes of the
protected heritage property.
Aurora Official Plan
Section 13 of the Official Plan outlines the policies for conserving Cultural Heritage
Resources in the Town of Aurora. The Official Plan states that all significant heritage
resources shall be designated as being of cultural heritage value or interest in
accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act to ensure effective protection and their
continuing maintenance, conservation and restoration. Evaluation Criteria for assessing
the cultural heritage value will include: the aesthetic design or physical value; the
historical or associative value; and/or the contextual value of the property. Furthermore,
the plan states that heritage resources will be conserved in accordance with the
Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada, the
Appleton Charter for the Protection and Enhancement of the Built Environment and
other recognized heritage protocols and standards.
Analysis
Historical or Associative Value
The original 1853 Plan for Aurora (formerly Machells Corners) comprised of lots for new
housing stretching from Yonge Street in the West to Berczy Street in the East. By the
mid-1860’s, the lands comprising of Town Park remained vacant, but were quickly
becoming a gathering place for Village residents. In 1867, the Village of Aurora
purchased from John Mosley, the lots bounded by Mosley Street to the north, Metcalfe
Street to the south, Larmont Street to the east and Wells Street to the west. Town Park
was the first public park in Aurora.
By 1874, a drill shed was constructed for the 12th Battalion of the Queen’s York Rangers
at the northeast corner of the Town Park. The Town Park was used as parade grounds
for the Queen’s York Rangers from the mid 1870’s to 2014. The Aurora Armoury
remains as an important linkage to the Town Park and Aurora’s military past.
Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda
Monday, October 16, 2017
Item 2
Page 3 of 17
October 16, 2017 -4 -Report No. HAC17-020
The Town Park has been a gathering place for Aurora. The Town Park has hosted
community-wide events, sporting events, musical performances, fairs and markets.
Examples of such events include the Aurora Horse Show, Victoria Day & Dominion Day
celebrations and the Aurora Farmer’s Market. The Town Park continues to serve as an
important gathering place for the community. Events, markets, festivals and
celebrations continue to attract residents and visitors.
Architectural Value
The Town Park has historically comprised of recreational open space for Aurora citizens
and a parade ground for the Queen’s York Rangers. By 1950, the first permanent
structure was constructed on the lands, a band shell, which was donated by the Aurora
Lions Club and located at the northwest quadrant of the Town Park. The Band Shell
would be constructed in two phases: the first was the concrete stage completed in 1950
and the second was an arched roof, supported by curvilinear steel beams, this phase
was completed in 1962.
The park is lined with mature deciduous trees such as Red Oaks and Sugar Maples
around the perimeter of the Town Park, immediately west of the Armoury and along the
east-west walking path. Many of the trees around the perimeter of the park are over 100
years old.
It is noted that approximately six (6) Norway Maples exist within Town Park. Although
the existing Norway Maples are to be preserved, Parks and Recreation staff have noted
that Norway Maples are an invasive species within Aurora.
Contextual Value
Situated within the heart Southeast Old Aurora neighborhood, Town Park can be
considered as a well-known landmark that has defined the residential character and
history of Aurora. Town Park is contextually linked to the surrounding neighborhood as it
serves as a recreational use for the Southeast Aurora residents. The Town Park is
contextually linked to the identity of Aurora as it serves as a focal point for frequently
occurring concerts, events, festivals and markets attended by residents from across the
municipality and beyond. Town Park was utilized as a parade ground for the Queen’s
York Rangers between 1874 and 2014, therefore is contextually linked to the Aurora
Armoury and Aurora’s military past. Furthermore, Town Park is contextually linked to the
former Wells Street Public School for its use as a play area from 1892 to 2010.
The current configuration of the east-west walking path and trees leading from Wells
Street into Town Park is symmetrical with the main entrance to the former Wells Street
Public School. This creates a significant vista looking west towards Wells Street.

Existing Structures and Sports Fields
Town Park comprises of a series of structures all built in the late 20th or early 21st
Century. The existing Band shell and community washrooms were constructed in 2002,
the existing playground has been generally located in the southeast quadrant of Town
Park since the 1940’s, however a modern play area has existed in its current location
since the mid-1990’s. Both a hardball and a softball diamond existed together at Town
Park with the Softball diamond continuing to exist at the southwest quadrant of the
property.
Understanding that these structures and recreation areas are modern Town facilities,
the structures themselves carry no particular historical value. However, these
structures carry considerable contextual value given their role as gathering places for
the community through music, recreation, festivals or sports.
Financial Implications
There are no financial implications associated with this report.
Communications Considerations
A Notice of Intent to Designate and a Notice of Passing of a Designation By-law is
required to be issued in the local newspapers in keeping with the Ontario Heritage Act.
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.
Alternatives to the Recommendation
None.

Operators, Town staff and community volunteers. These individuals dedicated their time
and efforts to make Doors Open Aurora 2017 success. Their efforts in helping to
encourage the appreciation for sites of local, natural, historic and architectural
significance are greatly appreciated.
Analysis
Doors Open Aurora Event Date – August 19
This year, there were four Doors Open Ontario events including Doors Open Aurora
taking place in August. While the event was well attended by members of the
community and tourists from the Greater Toronto Area, as the event is held in the
summer it should be noted that many residents are on vacation or out of town. It is
recommended that the Heritage Advisory Committee take this into consideration when
planning the date for the 2018 event.
Participating Sites and Site Visits
This year, there were 17 participating sites, an increase from the 14 sites that
participated in Doors Open Aurora 2016.
A total of 2,691 site visits were recorded amongst the 17 participating sites and walking
tours, an increase from the 2,254 site visits recorded in 2016. The majority of the sites
and walking tours were located within walking distance from each other in the historic
Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda
Monday, October 16, 2017
Item 3
Page 3 of 16
October 16, 2017 Page 4 of 8 Report No. HAC17-023
core and Southeast Old Aurora community. The close proximity of participating sites
created a centralized area of activity and lessened the need for parking spaces at each
participating site.
The increase in site visits may be attributed to an increase in participating sites.
Furthermore, some Doors Open Sites which have been featured year after year
included new features such as the Great Canadian Songbook and the Aurora Artist
Studio Tour. Both walking tours were well attended. The Aurora Farmers’ Market &
Artisan Fair experienced a large volume of visitors, in part due to the Community Corn
Roast which took place during the Doors Open Aurora operating hours. It must be noted
that the unsettled weather during the morning may have delayed or prevented site visits
in the morning hours.
Another factor to this year’s Doors Open Aurora is the event’s walkability. Most of the
sites are within close walking distance to each other, however some sites which are
outside a close walking distance or are separated from other Doors Open Sites by a
major road, tended to yield much fewer site visits. This year, sites such as the Aurora
Lawn Bowling Club, the Aurora Theatre and the Aurora Legion could not generate more
than 30 site visits. In future years, should these sites request to participate, staff may
wish to consider including a special event within the site to assist in drawing more
visitors.
Visitor’s Survey
The Town distributed surveys to each participating site of Doors Open Aurora 2017 to
obtain visitors’ feedback for the event. Key questions included whether the visitor was a
resident of Aurora or from another community, the municipality the visitor was coming
from and how the visitor heard about the Doors Open Aurora 2017 event. The survey
was made available in a hardcopy format. In total, 55 surveys were returned. Key
information collected from the surveys is summarized in Attachment 2.
Signage
Doors Open signage is routinely posted on the day of the event. Each site displays a
Doors Open Aurora sign with a corresponding number to the map guide contained in
the Doors Open Aurora 2017 brochure. Additionally, for sites which are not in easily
accessible locations, directional arrow signs were provided. The signs provide greater
visibility and acknowledge that the site is participating in the Doors Open Aurora event.

T-Shirts
Each Doors Open Aurora volunteer and site operator received a free t-shirt displaying
the Doors Open Aurora logo. These t-shirts make volunteers easily identifiable to
visitors and are a way of thanking volunteers. Additional Doors Open T-shirts will be
required for Doors Open Aurora 2018. It is recommended that the Committee continue
to support this expense for future Doors Open Aurora events.
Financial Implications
A registration fee of $1,695.00, including applicable taxes, was paid to the Ontario
Heritage Trust for the Doors Open Aurora 2017 event.
A total of $2,860.67 was spent to facilitate the Doors Open Aurora 2017 event, which
included a registration fee paid to the Ontario Heritage Trust for the Doors Open Aurora
2017 event, brochures containing a Map Guide and brief information about each Doors
Open Aurora site.
A registration fee of $1,695.00, including applicable taxes, will be required to register for
a Doors Open Aurora 2018 event with the Ontario Heritage Trust.
Communications Considerations
No communication is required as a result of this Report.
The assistance of the Town’s Corporate Communications staff was essential to the
Doors Open event and is greatly appreciated.
Advertising Materials
Printed materials for the event included a brochure for the whole event, individual
brochures for each participating site, posters and display boards for each participating
site. It is recommended that the Committee continue to direct Town staff in advertising
through social media, the Town of Aurora website, public/community engagement at the
Aurora Farmers’ Market and Artisan Fair and to work in co-operation with local news
media. Additionally, it is recommended that the Committee continue to direct Town staff
in ordering printed materials for future Doors Open Aurora events.

leading up to the Doors Open Aurora 2017 event. The event was featured on the front

Social Media
The Doors Open Aurora event was featured on the Town of Aurora Twitter and
Facebook pages for two weeks leading up to the event. Social media posts of Doors
Open Aurora were posted in the week after the event. It is recommended that Social
Media strategies be adjusted to attract more visitors from the Greater Toronto Area.
Websites

(http://www.aurora.ca/doorsopen), which included a Virtual Tour map to provide an
interactive experience for visitors to the Town’s Doors Open Aurora website. The Doors

Memorandum
Date: October 16, 2017
To: Heritage Advisory Committee
From: Sara Tienkamp, Acting Manager of Parks
Copy: Marco Ramunno, Director of Planning and Building Services
Re: Tree Removal Permit Application #064 for 52 Centre Street
Recommendation
1.That the memorandum regarding Tree Removal Permit Application #064 for 52
Centre Street be received; and
2.That the Heritage Advisory Committee provide comment with respect to the
proposed Tree Removal Permit Application for 52 Centre Street.
Background
The subject property is listed within the Heritage Conservation District as designated under,
Part V of the OHA.
Tree Protection By-law No. 5850-16, Section 9 (1) (b) states:
“If a tree subject to an application is found by the Director to be a Heritage Tree, the
director shall not issue a permit unless the injury, destruction or removal is approved
by Council following a review by the Town’s Heritage Advisory Committee.”
On October 2, 2017, the Owner at 52 Centre Street arranged for the removal of a mature
67cm Black Walnut tree. A concerned resident called the Town regarding tree cutting and
Bylaw Services subsequently deployed an officer to the site. When the officer arrived, the
tree company was actively removing the tree and approximately 40-50% of the crown of the
tree had been removed. The Officer immediately asked for the work to cease, explaining
that the tree was in the Heritage District and that its removal was not permitted without
approval of the “Tree Removal Permit” by Council, after review by the Heritage Advisory
Committee.

existing tree prior to initiation of pruning works to facilitate the removal, the impact it is having
on the surrounding infrastructure and residents. As well, it describes the impact the pruning
work will have on the health of the walnut in the future and makes recommendations for
removal of the tree.
