4 APPLICATION FOR A HERITAGE PERMIT KEY INDUSTRIES CHARLOTTE STREET (PID , ) Date: October 31, 2018 To: From: Prepared by: Approved by: Heritage Development Board Growth and Community Development Services Emma Sampson Heritage Officer Amy Poffenroth, P.Eng, MBA Deputy Commissioner SUBJECT Application for a Heritage Permit to replace all existing second storey windows with aluminumclad hung windows. DISCUSSION Charlotte Street, also known as the van Wart Brothers Buildings, and Charlotte Street, also known Engine House No. 1, are a grouping of one and two storey brick buildings located in the Trinity Royal Heritage Conservation Area, all currently owned by Key Industries. As part of a larger rehabilitation project that has already seen Heritage Permits issued by both staff and the Heritage Development Board, this application considers the replacement of all second-storey windows between the two properties. The majority of the replacements are for 9/9 hung windows at Charlotte Street. The original windows have at some point in the past been replaced with newer wood windows, and these windows, having deterioriated, are now proposed for replacement with black aluminum-clad hung windows. The applicant has expressed an interest in retaining the 9/9 false muntin look of the windows, though older photographic evidence would suggest that older or original windows may have been 1/1 in style. Where the proposed windows do not have true divided lites and the 9/9 look would be obtained through pinned inserts, either option is available to the applicant though again, preference has been stated as 9/9. In the rear courtyard of Charlotte Street, there are an additional nine windows also considered for replacement in this project. Page 1 of 2

5 Charlotte Street October 31, 2018 At Charlotte Street, the two large upper storey windows are proposed for replacement, with the ground level windows and doors having already been approved for replacement through an earlier Board-approved permit. The original window composition on this storey during the building s time as an Engine House was four spaced hung windows with a pronounced and connected arched brick header spanning the width of the building. By the 1980s, the four windows were gone, along with the detailed brickwork, and were replaced with two large, nine-lite rectangular windows which still exist today. The applicant has been provided with a number of design options to fit the existing openings, including arrangements with awnings and casement windows, but would prefer a set of three hung windows in each opening. Where the organization is a not-for-profit entity, the applicant has requested first consideration of the proposed window replacements with LaFlamme as the manufacturer, due to a substantial cost savings. Based on standard technical drawings for these windows, it is unlikely that these windows would be considered as a reasonable facsimile of a traditional wood window, where the bottommost rail is much thinner than would be preferred to be seen. The applicant does currently have a quote from Martin, and is sourcing quotes from the other three manufacturers that the Board has reviewed and deemed appropriate. Staff is unable to support the use of LaFlamme windows, but would readily approve a window selection from Marvin, Martin, Norwood or LePage. This is a Rehabilitation project. Standards (I) through (XII) of Section 8 of the Saint John Heritage Conservation Areas By-Law apply. The proposed work meets the intent of the Saint John Heritage Conservation Areas By-Law and the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada as expressed in the Practical Conservation Guidelines for Windows. RECOMMENDATION Approve a Heritage Permit to: a) replace all second-storey windows at Charlotte Street with aluminum-clad wood hung windows, pending consultation on manufacturer with Heritage Officer; and, b) replace the second-storey windows at the front of Charlotte Street with two sets of three aluminum-clad wood hung windows.

20 APPLICATION FOR A HERITAGE PERMIT HEARTBREAK BOUTIQUE 94 GERMAIN STREET (PID ) Date: October 30, 2018 To: From: Prepared by: Approved by: Heritage Development Board Growth and Community Development Services Emma Sampson Heritage Officer Amy Poffenroth, P.Eng, MBA Deputy Commissioner SUBJECT Application for a Heritage Permit to install a projecting sign. DISCUSSION 94 Germain Street is the third of four storefronts that comprise the commercial level of the Masonic Temple. These storefronts are noted for their recessed entrances and for the detailed wooden bulkheads. The current tenant of 94 Germain has applied to replace their existing projecting sign with a new projecting sign as part of updating the store. The proposed wooden sign measures approximately 22 ½ wide by 36 tall, and will be contour cut to the shape of a stylised lightning bolt with ribbon wrapped around. Digitally printed appliques will be applied to both sides of the sign. There will be a black border around the lightning bolt, with a floral pattern filling the lightning bolt, gradient-shaded from a yellowgreen to an aqua. The ribbon, with a thinner black border, gradient-shaded from yellow-orange to pink-purple, will hold in two parts the business name, Heartbreak Boutique. This is a Rehabilitation project. Standards (I) through (XII) of Section 8 of the Saint John Heritage Conservation Areas By-Law apply. The proposed work does not meet the intent of the Saint John Heritage Conservation Areas By-Law and the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada, as expressed in the Practical Conservation Guidelines for Signs. The owner has expressed that this sign is representative of the new logo for the business, which has been in use in digital and print context since early summer While the Page 1 of 2

21 94 Germain Street October 30, 2018 sign certainly speaks to some of the recommendations for signage found in the Practical Conservation Guidelines, namely the scale and material, the style, shape and colour of the sign are a strong departure from what is found in the Practical Conservation Guidelines. From the Standards and Guidelines, Guideline 19 states that it is not recommended to introduce a new design that is incompatible in size, scale, material, style or colour. RECOMMENDATION Deny a Heritage Permit to install a projecting sign. Page 2 of 2
