The house can be described as a one and a half storey, Ell Shaped Gothic Revival home. 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 March 23, 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 Catherine Avenue, between Yonge Street and Spruce Street (See Attachment 1). The District Plan has identified this block of Catherine Avenue to have “a very high heritage value”. Heritage Features of the Existing Building The existing building can be described as a 1 ½ storey structure with a front gable roof. The building is finished with brick cladding. The building features double-hung windows, including a 3-bay window on the front elevation and the east elevation. A pale-green wood corner verandah leads up to the front entrance, comprised of six wood columns and wood railings. The building is ordained in decorative trim under the gable roof, also coloured in pale-green. Overall, the building appears to be an excellent example of Gothic Revival architecture and is considered a contributing building within the Heritage Conservation District. Analysis On March 23 2017, staff issued a Notice of Receipt on behalf of Council as per By-law 5365-11 (being a By-law to delegate certain assigned Council authority under the Ontario Heritage Act regarding the power to consent to alterations of designated heritage properties). Photos provided by the applicant identify the rear addition as a one storey wood frame structure, sided with wood board and batten. Unfortunately there are no Fire Insurance Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday, April 10, 2017 Item 1 Page 2 of 14 April 10, 2017 - 3 - Report No. HAC17-007 Plans to verify the construction date of the addition. It is noted that a new detached garage was constructed on the lands (approved by Heritage Permit) in 2010. Proposed Alterations Upon speaking to the owners in advance of submission of the heritage permit application, it was identified that the proposed changes are to increase the amount of sunlight within the home. The owners are proposing the following changes to the home: • Remove the existing front door and transom and replace with a fully glazed steel front door • Remove the existing window on the west elevation and replace the window with a modern heritage window design Since the house is designated under Part V of the Act any additions or alterations should be in compliance with the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District Plan (the District Plan). Several policies were considered in reviewing the Application. With respect to the door Section 9.2.4 and 9.2.4.1 of the District Plan identify appropriate and inappropriate style of doors. The owners propose a fully glazed steel door as the main entrance for the home. The District Plan states that modern door designs are not appropriate in heritage buildings, even when tricked up as “heritage” items. Metal is not considered an appropriate material for doors within the District Plan. It is noted that the owners are willing to incorporate a wood door with the same design. With respect to the Transom, it is noted that Section 9.3.1 of the District Plan that “new construction should not damage or conceal heritage features” and “new construction should consider restoration of heritage features that have been lost or concealed by previous renovations”. Although the side window is not original to the home, the window has become a heritage attribute to the home over time. Staff recommend that the existing transom be restored or replaced with a new transom, which is in keeping with the design of the new front door. The height of the front door is proposed at 2.3 meters (7 feet, 8 inches). The proposed height of the front door is too tall, therefore is out of scale and proportion with the rest of the home. Section 9.2.4 of the District Plan further emphasizes the necessity for transoms and doors which are scaled appropriately with the main building. Staff recommend that a transom be incorporated in the design of the new front door. Staff recognize the design “F” under Section 9.2.4 identified as “Fully-Glazed Wood Door” as an appropriate style of door within the Heritage District. However, staff are of the opinion that a fully-glazed door is not in keeping with the Gothic Revival Architecture of the home. Staff recommend that the owners propose a new front door design which incorporates less glazing. Glazing consistent with the existing front door on the home is recommended. Upon speaking with the owners with regards to the front door, the owners are willing to use a ¾ glazed wood door with no changes to the height. With respect to the window proposed to be removed and replaced on the west elevation can be described as a three pane, wood framed, box window. The window does not Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday, April 10, 2017 Item 1 Page 3 of 14 April 10, 2017 - 4 - Report No. HAC17-007 appear to be original to the home, but was likely installed in the 1920’s or 1930’s. It is noted that Section 9.3.1 of the District Plan states that “new construction should not damage or conceal heritage features” and “new construction should consider restoration of heritage features that have been lost or concealed by previous renovations”. Although the side window is not original to the home, the window has become a heritage attribute to the home over time. The proposed replacement is to match the window with a modern heritage designed window located to the north on the west elevation. The proposed window design is not desirable as the design reflects a modern heritage design and does not attempt to retain the look or appearance of the existing window. It is recommended that the side window be retained and restored on the property. Recent Heritage Permits Approved by Staff Heritage Permit application NE-HCD-HPA-16-07 was approved by Staff on September 16, 2016. The permit involved the installation of a new double hung window on the west elevation of the structure, located at the north-west corner of the building. Heritage Permit application NE-HCD-HPA-17-03 was approved by Staff on February 16, 2017. This permit requested the removal of existing vents underneath the front gable and side gable roofline on the front and west elevation, to be replaced with windows. The second component of the heritage permit was the installation of a new sunroof on the east facing roof. Alterations Not Subject to a Heritage Permit In addition to the proposed changes, the owners propose to repaint the pale green trim and verandah to “off-black”. Although there is no heritage permit required for repainting a heritage building, the owners are encouraged to review the practices and procedures for painting heritage homes identified in Section 9.3.4.8 of the District Plan. Board and batten siding was installed on the rear elevation of the home and mudroom on the east elevation. Staff do not have prior record of board and batten siding installed at these locations. The owners have stated that this was installed prior to their ownership. New patio windows were installed on the rear elevation of the home and an existing window was replaced with a new window was at the south west corner of the building. The size of the window on the south west corner was increased considerably compared to the original window. The patio windows new window at the south west corner are out of view from the street, therefore do not require a heritage permit. Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday, April 10, 2017 Item 1 Page 4 of 14 April 10, 2017 -5 -Report No. HAC17-007 Design Review Panel Not required. Financial Implications There are no financial implications. Communications Considerations No Communication Required. 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. Conclusions It is recommended that Heritage Permit application NE-HCD-HPA-17-07 for the property located at 31 Catherine Avenue be amended to address staff comments. The design of the front door requires further review to incorporate a design that is in keeping with the Gothic Revival Architectural style of the home. With respect to the side window, it is recommended that the existing window be retained and restored as the window serves as a heritage attribute to the home. Once a Heritage Permit Application is received, Council has ninety (90) days from the date of issuing a Notice of Receipt to: consent to the application with or without terms and conditions, or refuse the application.

Location The subject property is located on the west side of Wells Street between Wellington Street East and Mosley 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 an Ontario House. The building was constructed c. 1880, the builder of the main structure is unknown. Provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act for delisting process 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 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. Analysis History of the Property The land parcel for 32 Wells Street was sold by John Mosley to William Edwards, general labourer in 1869. By 1870, Long’s Box Factory was constructed at the northwest corner of Wells Street and Mosley Street and occupies up the west side of Wells Street to the southern property line of 32 Wells Street. The factory would exist until circa 1900 with new home construction by 1920. The house was constructed circa Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday, April 10, 2017 Item 2 Page 2 of 70 April 10, 2017 - 3 - Report No. HAC17-008 1880, presumably under the ownership of William Edwards. The lands would be sold in succession as follows- 1910- 1912 Albert Machell, builder; 1912-1920 Agnes Williamson; 1920-1930 Rosella Holder, widow; 1930-1945 David Ellis, tanner; 1945- 1972 Walter Cole, dairyman. Victor Priestly briefly owns the property from 1972 to 1973. Other owners of the property are Noel and Earmanna Crossman, William Simpson and Denise O’Sullivan. For more information on the history of the property please find the Heritage Impact Statement prepared by Bray Heritage with Letourneau Heritage Consulting Inc and Amy Barnes Consulting, dated February 2017 (see Attachment 4). Heritage Features of the Existing Building The existing building can be described as a 1 ½ storey structure with a side gabled roof including a centre gable with a 1 over 1 double hung sash window with a semi-circular fixed design. The building displays a front porch comprised of slab-on-grade concrete, supported by four metal columns ordained with metal railings. The front façade displays two 1 over 1 double-hung windows on the first floor. The building was originally sided with wood clapboard, but has since been covered with yellow aluminum siding. A 1 storey rear addition was added onto to the home, likely shortly after the construction of the main building. A consistent trait on the home are the 1 over 1 double hung windows. The windows on the second storey and on the side elevations of the first storey appear to be original to the home. The property does not contain any accessory structures, however the Owner’s Heritage Consultant has identified a previous accessory structure which existed during the mid-20th Century. A site visit was conducted on March 24 2016. The interior of the building appears to have been heavily modified in the 1970’s. The building has been converted into a duplex, with one unit on the ground floor and a second unit on the second floor. Very few original heritage elements remain within the home. It must also be noted that the house is currently sinking in multiple locations. The neighbourhood comprises of Listed Heritage Properties Wells Street, between Wellington Street East to the north and Mosley Street to the south, encompasses a total of fifteen (15) properties, twelve (12) of which are listed on the Aurora Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest. This portion of Wells Street contains a wide variety of architectural styles including, Georgian Confederation Cottages, Arts and Crafts, Ontario House and Edwardian/ Foursquare architectural styles. It is noted that 32 Wells Street is located within close proximity of three (3) properties Designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. The designated properties are as follows: • 40 Wells Street- De La Haye House • 65 Wellington Street East- The George W. Graham House • 69 Wellington Street East- The Carpenter’s House Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday, April 10, 2017 Item 2 Page 3 of 70 April 10, 2017 - 4 - Report No. HAC17-008 Southeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District Between 2013 and 2014, Wells Street and the surrounding neighbourhood was considered as part of a potential Heritage Conservation District. As there is no Heritage Conservation District in place, the property must be evaluated under O. Regulation 09/06. Building Evaluation The Evaluation Working Group met to perform an objective evaluation of the subject property on Monday March, 2016 (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. The Evaluation found the subject property to score in 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 final weighted score for 32 Wells Street to be 49.3/100. Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday, April 10, 2017 Item 2 Page 4 of 70 April 10, 2017 - 5 - Report No. HAC17-008 Architectural Salvage A site visit of the subject lands occurred on Wednesday March 24, 2017. The site visit identified items which could be salvaged as part of the Aurora Architectural Salvage Program. A series of items considered for salvage are identified below: • Closet Door • Basement Door 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 property to construct a new building. Elevations 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. The new design can be described as a bungalow, designed in a contemporary style with elements derived from Arts and Crafts styles. The owner’s propose the new structure to be clad with brick. A double car attached garage is proposed on the south side of the building, setback from the front verandah. The proposed home is expected to meet all provisions of the zoning by-law with the exception of Lot Coverage, which is proposed at 38% (the zoning by-law permits a maximum of 35%). Staff have requested amendments to the design of the proposed home to reduce the impact of the garage on the front elevation to be in keeping with the surrounding neighbourhood. Planning Staff will work with the applicant on detailed aspects of the building during the building permit process. Design Review Panel The application was reviewed by the Design Review Panel on March 31, 2017. The Panel finds the proposed one storey building a refreshing example of scale within an established heritage neighbourhood. The Panel has requested the following changes to the design of the homes: • Recommendation to recess the garage approximately 4 or 5 feet from the front face of the building to reduce the perception of the garage, this will result in a minor change to the corresponding floor plans • Consideration to incorporate an archway in front of the garage with the garage setback • Request for cedar shingles under the dormers on the front elevation • Request to review a grading plan to compare existing vs. proposed drainage Financial Implications There are no financial implications. Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday, April 10, 2017 Item 2 Page 5 of 70 April 10, 2017 - 6 - Report No. HAC17-008 Communications Considerations No Communication Required. 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 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. Conclusions The subject was evaluated using the Town of Aurora Heritage Building Evaluation Guide and was rated in the low end of Group 2, which encourages the retention of the building as well as designation under the Ontario Heritage Act. It is recommended that the proposed elevations are subject to approval of Planning Staff to ensure a future new dwelling will maintain the heritage character of the area. Staff recommend the Heritage Advisory Committee remove of 32 Wells Street from the Aurora Registrar of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest.

Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday, April 10, 2017 Item 3 Page 1 of 103 April 10, 2017 - 2 - Report No. HAC17-009 • 12 Tyler Street was constructed circa 1875 and can be described as a 1 ½ storey Worker`s House • 16 Tyler Street was constructed circa 1911 and can be described as a 2 ½ storey Foursquare House • 55 Temperance Street was constructed circa 1870 and can be described as a 1 ½ storey Georgian Confederation Cottage • 57 Temperance Street was constructed circa 1950 and can be described as a 2 storey front gable-roofed residence • 57A Temperance Street can be described as a 1 ½ storey frame structure, the construction date is uncertain, possibly 1904 • A Heritage Impact Statement was prepared for the subject lands, prepared by Bray Heritage with Letourneau Heritage Consulting Inc and Amy Barnes Consulting, dated December 2016 Background In December 2016, the owner submitted an Official Plan Amendment and a Zoning By- law Amendment to the Town for the subject lands. The owner is proposing to construct a two (2) storey place of worship and a nine (9) storey retirement residence on the subject lands. The existing proposal does not incorporate the existing heritage resources on the property. The owners have not submitted a site plan application at this time, however a site plan application is anticipated to be submitted in 2017. Location The subject lands are bound by Yonge Street to the east, Tyler Street to the south and Temperance Street to the west (see Attachment 1). The total lot size of the subject lands is approximately 1.12 acres. 15186 Yonge Street is currently vacant, with the northern portion of the lands currently being used for municipal parking. 12 Tyler Street, 16 Tyler Street and 55 Temperance Street each contain one single detached dwelling. 57 and 57A Temperance Street contains two detached dwellings, although are located on one contiguous lot. Analysis The owner has submitted a Heritage Impact Statement for the subject lands, prepared by Bray Heritage with Letourneau Heritage Consulting Inc and Amy Barnes Consulting. Staff have reviewed the Heritage Impact Statement and have provided comments to the owner to address. Property pages are provided in Attachment 2. Architectural Value 12 Tyler Street 12 Tyler Street can be described as a 1 ½ storey Ell-Shaped Worker’s House. The building was constructed circa 1880, likely by William Atkinson. The building comprises of a front gable roofline facing Tyler Street. The first floor comprises of a wrap-around front verandah and a projecting 3-bay window. The bay window contains three 2 over 2 Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday, April 10, 2017 Item 3 Page 2 of 103 April 10, 2017 - 3 - Report No. HAC17-009 double hung windows. A dingle 2 over 2 double hung window is located on the second storey. The building is cladded with a shiplap vinyl siding, which covers the original wood siding underneath. Historical photography of the structure from circa 1910 features a functional balcony on top of the front verandah with wood quoining at the corners of the building. 16 Tyler Street 16 Tyler Street can be described as a 2 ½ storey Foursquare House. The building has a hipped roof with centre dormer facing Tyler Street. The front façade displays a frame shed roofed porch with a second floor balcony. The first storey of the front elevation features a single front door, 1 double hung window and a small two pane coloured art glass window. The building has been cladded with red brick siding on all four elevations. Double hung windows appear prominent on the west elevation facing Temperance Street. A second balcony is located on the rear elevation. The property contains a mature coniferous tree on the front lawn facing Tyler Street. The building’s interior contains many original elements including a fireplace, wood panelling and staircase. 55 Temperance Street 55 Temperance Street was constructed circa 1870 and can be described as a 1 ½ storey Georgian Confederation Cottage . The building features a side gable roof, which extends to the rear elevation of the building. The building is cladded with vinyl siding, which covers the original wood siding underneath. There is a single storey hip-gable porch facing Temperance Street, which accesses the main entrance. The front elevation features a single 2 over 2 double hung window. On the south elevation, a single 2 over 2 double hung window is featured under the gable on the second storey. The property contains a number of mature coniferous and deciduous trees. 57 Temperance Street 57 Temperance Street is described as a 2 storey front gable-roofed residence constructed circa 1950. The building is cladded with stucco. The front elevation comprises of one 1 over 1 double hung window on the first storey and two 1 over 1 windows on the second storey. A deck protrudes towards Temperance Street. The main entrance is accessed from the north face of the building. Irregular shaped windows are featured on the north elevation. 57A Temperance Street 57A Temperance Street is described as a 1 ½ storey concrete frame structure with a gabled roof and a large central dormer.

The dormer features two 1 over 1 double hung windows. The construction date of 57A Temperance is unknown, however upon review of Fire Insurance Maps dated 1904, a frame building appears to be present. The Owner’s Heritage Consultant has identified that the frame building was replaced with a concrete Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday, April 10, 2017 Item 3 Page 3 of 103 April 10, 2017 - 4 - Report No. HAC17-009 block auto body shop prior to the 1960 Fire Insurance plan. The auto body shop was later converted into a residence. Historical Value The following is a brief overview of ownership of each of the listed heritage properties located on the subject lands. For more information, please reference the Heritage Impact Statement (see Attachment 3). 12 Tyler Street As previously mentioned, 12 Tyler Street was likely constructed by William Atkinson between 1870 and 1885. Notable owners of the property include Charles Thom, blacksmith, who lived in the home from 1888 to 1902. The house was sold to Robert Reynolds, bank clerk, in 1904. Mr. Reynolds lived in the home from 1904 to 1914 and continued to own the home until 1921 (the home was rented during this time). The next owner was Edward Carson, blacksmith, who owned the home from 1921 to 1961. From 1961 to 2014, the home transferred in and out of ownership of the Aurora United Church. The home currently serves as community space for the United Church. 16 Tyler Street 16 Tyler Street was constructed in 1911. The home was originally owned by Robert Reynolds, however the first occupant of the home was Henry Reynolds, Robert’s brother. Henry does not appear to have lived in the home as he died sometime before 1911. Henry’s wife Susie Reynolds indeed lived in the home from 1911 to 1942, possibly as long as 1953. In 1925, Susie Reynolds married John Locke, who was a minister at the Aurora United Church. The property remained under the ownership of the Reynolds family until 1976. 55 Temperance Street 55 Temperance Street was likely constructed in 1870. The property was acquired in 1890 by William J. Anderson, a “w and core maker” (likely at the Fleury foundry). William Anderson would own the home until 1937, where the home was transferred to his daughter Rachel K Anderson. By 1953, John Bodfish is identified as living in the home with his wife. It is likely that Rachel Anderson married John Bodfish as the ownership name changes to Rachel K Bodfish. John Bodfish worked as an electrician. Between 1927 and 1960, a rear wing of the building was removed. By 1965 the home was divided into two dwelling units. The home has since re-merged into one dwelling unit. After a series of varied ownership, the Aurora United Church purchased the property in 1996. 57 Temperance Street In 1947, Edward Carson (owner of 12 Tyler Street), sold a parcel of land to John Bodfish of 55 Temperance Street for $500. By the time the lot was sold in 1950 to Carrol and Minnie Taylor, the property sold for $10,000, which suggests that a building had been constructed by this time. Carol Taylor was identified as an electrician. The Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday, April 10, 2017 Item 3 Page 4 of 103 April 10, 2017 - 5 - Report No. HAC17-009 Taylors would own the home until 1959, where it was transferred to Norman E. and Shirley Weller as joint tenants. 57A Temperance Street 57A Temperance Street was first identified on the fire insurance maps in 1904. 57A Temperance was originally described as a frame shed or out-building. By 1960, the building contained a concrete block foundation and identifies “Central Auto Body” as a use. The building would continue to function under various commercial uses. The building appears to have been converted into a residence by 1981, which it remains as today. Neighbourhood Context The subject lands have frontage on Yonge Street, which is connected with the historic Downtown Core of Aurora. Yonge Street contains a variety of shops, offices and residential uses. On the west side of the property, the context changes into a residential setting, containing a number of established historic homes constructed between the mid-19th and early-20th Centuries. The existing buildings are contextually linked to the surrounding residential buildings on Temperance Street and Tyler Street. Archaeology It must be noted that the Town has received a Stage 1 and Stage 2 Archaeological Assessment for the subject lands. Findings from the Stage 2 Assessment have uncovered over 1,500 artifacts on the subject lands. Materials uncovered in the Stage 2 assessment include nails, glass, ceramics, foodware and bricks (see Attachment 6). Investigation is ongoing to determine whether there are any buried remains from the former cemetery or any former church structures located at 15186 Yonge Street. A Stage 3 Archaeological Assessment will be required as part of a future submission. Proposed Concept Plan The owner proposes to demolish all four listed properties and construct a two storey church and a nine storey retirement residence on the property (see Attachment 7). The applicant has submitted a draft Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law which are currently under review by staff. The Owner proposes to amend the Official Plan to allow an increase in height to a maximum of twenty-eight (28) metres over the entirety of the subject lands. As the lands are located within the Aurora Promenade, additional consideration will be given its status within the Official Plan. The following is a table to compare the existing zone requirements on the subject lands and the proposed Institutional (I-XX) Exception Zone: Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday, April 10, 2017 Item 3 Page 5 of 103 April 10, 2017 - 6 - Report No. HAC17-009 Existing C2 Commercial Zone Requirement Existing I Institutional Zone Requirement Proposed “I-XX” Exception Zone Lot Area (minimum) 230 m2 460m2 4,643m2 Lot Frontage (minimum) 10 m 30 m 53.5 m Front yard (minimum) N/A 10 m 0.83 m* Rear Yard (minimum) 7.5 m 15 m 2.75 m* Interior Side yard (minimum) N/A ½ the height of the building and in no case less than 4.5 m 0.0 m* Exterior Side yard (minimum) N/A 10 m 0.45 m* Lot Coverage (maximum) N/A 35% 38%* Height (maximum) 3 storeys (5 storeys with setback) 28 m 27.97 m * Denotes exception to the Zoning By-law. Building Evaluation The Evaluation Working Group met to perform an objective evaluation of the subject properties on Tuesday March 21, 2017 and Monday March 27, 2017 (See Attachment 4). 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. The Evaluation found 16 Tyler Street to score at the high end of Group 2, suggesting that the property is “significant, worthy of preservation”. The Evaluation found 12 Tyler Street and 55 Temperance Street to score at the low end of Group 2, suggesting that the property is “significant, worthy of preservation”. The Evaluation found 57 Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday, April 10, 2017 Item 3 Page 6 of 103 April 10, 2017 - 7 - Report No. HAC17-009 Temperance Street and 57A Temperance Street to score in 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 rated 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. The Heritage Evaluation Guide also provides the following for buildings rated 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 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 final weighted score of 12 Tyler Street to be 46.3/100, 55 Temperance Street to be 47/100, 57 Temperance Street to be 43.4/100 and 57A Temperance Street to be 28/100. The Evaluation working group found the final weighted score of 16 Tyler Street to be 68.9/100. Designation of 16 Tyler Street The submitted Heritage Impact Statement has provided the following statement of cultural heritage value or interest for 16 Tyler Street: The house is a good representative example of early 20th century residential design and, on its corner location, helps establish, and contributes to, the character of adjacent streetscapes. Heritage Attributes • Vernacular interpretations of the Edwardian Architectural Style; • Contextual value as a local landmark; and • Massing and details of the façade Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday, April 10, 2017 Item 3 Page 7 of 103 April 10, 2017 - 8 - Report No. HAC17-009 As part of the Evaluation Working Group, 16 Tyler Street received a Historical/Associative score of 67/100, an Architectural score of 80/100 and a Contextual/Environmental score of 61/100. The building has been identified by the Heritage Consultant to meet two of the three criteria (Design/ Physical Value and Contextual Value) to be considered for designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. Architectural Salvage A site visit of the subject lands occurred on Wednesday March 22, 2017. The site visit identified a number of items which could be salvaged as part of the Aurora Architectural Salvage Program. A series of items considered for salvage are identified below: 12 Tyler Street: • Front Door • Original windows 16 Tyler Street: • Front Door • Side Door • Interior Doors and trim • Original windows and storm windows • Coloured art glass window • Interior Wood Staircase • Pantry • Original Floor Boards • Red Brick (where possible) 55 Temperance Street • Original windows 57A Temperance Street • Dormer windows There are no items to be considered for salvage at 57 Temperance Street. It must be noted that the Owners have also proposed to salvage original elements from 16 Tyler Street to be incorporated into a common room within the proposed retirement residence. Impact Assessment The Owner’s Heritage Consultant has identified in the Heritage Impact Statement, three options for the future of the subject lands. Option 1 is to preserve 55 Temperance, 57 Temperance, 12 Tyler and 16 Tyler with the removal of 57A Temperance and the construction of a new church/ retirement residence. Option 2 is to preserve 16 Tyler (with a conversion into a residence or office use) and demolish 12 Tyler, 55 Temperance (with the option of relocation), 57 Temperance and 57A Temperance to accommodate a new church/ retirement residence. Finally, Option 3 is to removal all five structures for the creation of the proposed church/ retirement residence. The Heritage Consultant has identified Option 2 as the preferred approach, however if that is Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday, April 10, 2017 Item 3 Page 8 of 103 April 10, 2017 - 9 - Report No. HAC17-009 not possible, Option 3 is recommended along with mitigation measures described in the assessment.

Submission Heritage Permit Application 36 Mark Street File: NE-HCD-HPA-17-02 Prepared by: Jeff Healey, Planner Department: Planning and Building Services Date: April 10, 2017 Recommendation 1.That Report No. HAC17-010 be received; and 2.That the Heritage Advisory Committee recommend to Council: a)That Heritage Permit Application NE-HCD-HPA-17-02 be approved to permit the construction of two (2) detached structures, subject to the following conditions: i.That the final building elevations are subject to approval of Planning Staff Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to provide Council with direction from the Heritage Advisory Committee regarding Heritage Permit Application NE-HCD-HPA-17-02 regarding a proposed demolition of an existing structure and the construction of a new detached dwelling and accessory structure located at 36 Mark Street, designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act as part of the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District. •The existing house was recommended for demolition from the Heritage Advisory Committee on March 6, 2017 •The proposed new dwellings have demonstrated greater conformity with the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District Plan Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday, April 10, 2017 Item 4 Page 1 of 9 April 10, 2017 - 2 - Report No. HAC17-010 Background On March 6 2017, the Heritage Advisory Committee received a proposal from the owners of 36 Mark Street with respect to the removal an existing designated, non-listed structure and the construction two new detached buildings. The following recommendation was provided by the Heritage Advisory Committee 1 That Report No. HAC17-005 be received; and 2 That the Heritage Advisory Committee recommend to Council: a. That Heritage Permit Application NE-HCD-HPA-17-02 be approved for the demolition of the existing structure; and b. That the Owner submit revised elevations that demonstrate greater conformity with the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District Plan; and, c. That the revised plans be reviewed by the Heritage Advisory Committee at a future meeting. Location The subject property is located on the north side of Mark Street, at the northwest corner of Mark Street and 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 Neighbourhood Context The property is located within the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District. The existing building is contextually linked to the residential buildings on the south side of Mark Street, as they appear to have been constructed in the same era. Existing heritage buildings on Mark Street are located further west towards Yonge Street and are not adjacent to the subject lands. The existing building is not considered an important component to the heritage character of the District. Non-Heritage Buildings within the Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District Plan The demolition of non-heritage buildings is identified in Section 4.4.3 of the District Plan, which states that generally, where non-heritage buildings are supportive of the character of the heritage conservation district, the placement building should also support the district character. Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday, April 10, 2017 Item 4 Page 2 of 9 April 10, 2017 - 3 - Report No. HAC17-010 Revised Concept Plan The owner wishes to demolish the designated, non-listed property and construct two new single detached homes on the property. A severance application will be required to sever the lands into two properties. The owner has provided revised elevations for the proposed buildings after receiving comments from Staff and the Heritage Advisory Committee on March 6, 2017 (see Attachment # 3). Section 4.5.1 of the District Plan outlines the design approach for new buildings within the Heritage Conservation District. Design Approach: The Design of new buildings will be products of their own time, but should reflect one of the historic architectural styles traditionally found in the District The proposed design reflects an Edwardian architectural style, this style is supported along Mark Street. The owner has taken suggestions from staff and the Heritage Advisory Committee to incorporate additional Edwardian stylistic elements including 2 over 2 double hung windows on all elevations. Design Approach: New residential buildings will complement the immediate physical context and streetscape by: being generally the same height, width, and orientation of adjacent buildings; having similar setbacks; being of like materials and colours; and using similarly proportioned windows, doors, and roof shapes. The proposed design reflects an Edwardian architectural style, incorporating brick. The owner has revised the building materials to be in keeping with the District Plan. The windows, doors and front porch require minor revisions to be in keeping with Edwardian architecture. Design Approach: New residential building construction will respect natural landforms, drainage, and existing mature vegetation. The owner is proposing to maintain the existing mature trees and hedgerows on the property. One mature tree facing Mark Street will be removed. Design Approach: The height of new residential buildings should not be less than lowest heritage building on the same block or higher than the highest heritage building on the same block. 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 owner has reduced the height of both structures. The proposed buildings are measured at 2 storeys and 9.5 metres and 9.0 metres in height respectively. Both homes have equal visual height as viewed from the street, however due to the grade changes, 36A technically exceeds the 9 metre height limit. Section 9.1.2.1 of the District Plan speaks to traditional spacing and driveway placement of buildings. It is a guideline of the district “To preserve traditional spacing of Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday, April 10, 2017 Item 4 Page 3 of 9 April 10, 2017 - 4 - Report No. HAC17-010 buildings, new garages for new or existing houses shall be separate rear or flankage outbuildings”. The owners have proposed an attached garage, for each proposed building. The owner has cited that topography issues prevent the ability of placing a detached garage for each home. The attached garage is not in keeping with the policies of the District Plan. The owner has staggered the garages for 36A. Section 9.1.2.2 of the District Plan speaks to rear yard spacing and amenity area. This section of the plan includes important building depth provisions to control overall massing of structures. The maximum building depth for a two storey structure is 16.76 metres. The proposed building depth for 36A is 16.1 metres. The proposed building depth for 36B is 16.8 metres. 36B exceeds the building depth provisions by 4 centimetres, therefore is considered to be in keeping with this provision. The District Plan also requests, where feasible and reasonable, to include “an inset of a minimum of 0.3m (1ft) from the side yard and that the roof be set down a minimum of 0.3 metres (1ft) beyond the (building) depth of 12 metres (39’3’’).” Lot 36A appears to be in keeping with this guideline, as the building indents approximately 2 metres on the west side of the building. Lot 36B continues to not meet this guideline and will be required to adjust the rear building height and massing accordingly. Design Approach: New residential building construction in the District will conform with the guidelines found in Section 9.5.2. The proposed building meets the setbacks of By-law 2213-78. The front yard setback of lots 36A and 36B will be consistent with adjacent properties to the west. The owner is keeping the existing mature trees and hedgerows on the property. There are no proposed changes to the siting specifications for the building which were indicated in HAC17-005. Design Review Panel The application was reviewed by the Design Review Panel on March 31, 2017. The Design Review Panel acknowledges the improvements to the design of both proposed homes. The Panel has requested the following changes to the design of the homes: • Buildings appear tall, despite the average finished grade • Adjust the proportion of the Double Hung windows to reflect traditional window design (currently too thin) • Install a new window on the 2nd floor, south east corner of unit 36B • Increase the size of the dormers • Reduce the roofline beyond 12 metres of building depth Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Agenda Monday, April 10, 2017 Item 4 Page 4 of 9 April 10, 2017 -5 -Report No. HAC17-010 Financial Implications There are no financial implications. Communications Considerations No Communication Required. 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 1.Deny Heritage Permit Application NE-HCD-HPA-17-02. Conclusions The existing home at 36 Mark Street is not considered a contributing property within the District. Staff recommend that the Heritage Advisory Committee approve the architectural designs for two new homes located at 36 Mark Street. Staff will work with the owner to revise any outstanding design matters.
