An application to demolish the existing vacant dwelling unit at 2981 Bovaird Drive West has been submitted by the agent for the owners, Upinder and Kamaljeet Bajwa. The property owner has submitted an application for a permit to construct a replacement dwelling unit on the site. It is anticipated that the construction of the replacement dwelling unit will proceed with due diligence. The dwelling unit is not designated under 5.29 of the Ontario Heritage Act or listed on the Municipal Register of Cultural Heritage Resources. To facilitate the construction of the new dwelling, it is recommended that Council approve the recommendation that a demolition permit be issued for the property. Recommendations: 1. THAT the report from Brenda Campbell, Director of Building and Chief Building Official, Building Division, Planning and Infrastructure Services Department, dated October 31, 2013, to the Planning, Design and Development Committee Meeting of December 9, 2013, re: Application for a Permit to Demolish a Residential Property Bovaird Drive West- Ward #6 (File #G33-LA), BE RECEIVED; and

2 2. THAT the application for a permit to demolish the residential property located at 2981 Bovaird Drive West BE APPROVED; and 3. THAT Peel Regional Police be advised of the issuance of a demolition permit for the property. 4. THAT the demolition of the dwelling must commence within six months of the issuance of the demolition permit otherwise the approval shall be d.eemed null and void. Background: The demolition of residential properties is regulated by Demolition Control By-law passed by Council on September 27, Applications for a permit to demolish a residential property are evaluated in accordance with a demolition control by-law process subsequently approved by Council. (Refer to Appendix 1 for a detailed background) Current Situation: 2981 Bovaird Drive West is a vacant single detached building of wood framing and siding construction that was built in the early 1900's. The existing dwelling is situated in a Floodplain zone and is legal non-conforming with the Zoning Bylaw. The property does not require an exemption from Interim Control By-law as that by-law does not apply to lands within a Floodplain zone. On March 27, 2012 a variance was approved by the Committee of Adjustment, A , to permit the construction of a new detached dwelling. Conditions of the Committee's approval include obtaining any required permits from Credit Valley Conservation. Corporate Implications: The property is not currently listed on the City of Brampton's "Municipal Register of Cultural Heritage Resources", nor designated under the Ontario Heritage Act. It does, however, exhibit cultural heritage interest as one of the original dwellings of the community of Norval and because the property was once owned by Thomas Maxted, who was a well-known builder in the area. The heritage value of this property lies primarily in its association with Mr. Maxted and his family, whose story could be expressed in a commemorative feature and/or plaque. The owner has agreed to install a heritage plaque to commemorate the Thomas Maxted house. The owner will also salvage the original hand water pump on the property, as well as any original wood windows on the house. A Letter of Undertaking, signed by the owner, was submitted to the City. (Refer to Appendix 6) Conclusion: It is recommended that Council approve the issuance of a demolition permit for the subject property.

4 J(..--4 APPENDIX 1: Report Background Information 1. DEMOLITION CONTROL BY-LAW The Council of the City of Brampton passed a demolition control by-law, By-law , on September 27, The purpose of a demolition control by-law is to preserve housing stock in a municipality. The effect of the by-law is that no person can demolish the whole or part of any residential property unless a demolition permit is issued by Council. Demolition permits for residential properties (dwelling units) are no longer regulated by the Building Code Act. The Council of the municipality, not the Chief Building Official, must authorize the issuance of the demolition permit. 2. CONDITIONS FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL Council subsequently approved a demolition control by-law process. In accordance with the policy a recommendation to issue a permit to demolish a dwelling unit will be made if one or more of the following conditions exists: 1. An unsafe condition exists. A building is unsafe if the building is structurally inadequate or faulty for the purpose for which it is used or in a condition which could be hazardous to the health or safety of persons in the normal use of the building, persons outside the building or persons whose access to the building has not been reasonably prevented. 2. An application has been submitted to the Building Department for a permit to construct a replacement dwelling unit. 3. The land on which the dwelling unit is situated is part of a draft-approved plan of subdivision for which a pre-servicing agreement has been executed. 4. The land on which the dwelling unit is situated is the subject of a rezoning and/or site plan agreement and the zoning by-law is approved and/or site plan approval has been obtained. 5. The dwelling unit is vacant and is neither listed on the City of Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources or designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act and is not recommended for inclusion in any of the proposed heritage conservation districts. Fire and Emergency Services and Peel Regional Police have expressed concern and are required to attend at vacant buildings on a regular basis as a result of vandalism and illegal activities notwithstanding the efforts of owners to secure the buildings.
