Council Report/ Comments: NIL Staff/Planner- Heritage comments: Laura Waldie discussed with the MHAC two development applications to the Committee of Adjustment. Laura Waldie requested that the requirement for the submission of a Heritage Impact Assessment be waived for both applications. 96 Queen Street East The owners of 96 Queen Street East are proposing to build a detached 780 square foot caretaker s cottage in the back parking area. Laura Waldie recommended waiving the HIA as this is a Listed Heritage property and the proposed new structure would not be visible from the streetscape. MHAC agreed and waived the HIA requirement for this application. 96 Blenheim Road The owners of 96 Blenheim Road have submitted an application to sever off a building lot on either side of the current structure. The property abuts Mount View Cemetery which is designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act as part of the City-owned lands in the Dickson Hill Heritage Conservation District. Laura Waldie recommended waiving the requirement for a HIA because the subject property is not on the Heritage Register and is zoned as R4 Low Density Residential. The MHAC agreed to waive the HIA requirement for this application. Laura Waldie also provided the MHAC with information about upcoming repair work at 55 Fallbrook Lane. The foundation of the coach house on the property will undergo rubble stone repair and some missing siding will be replaced on the main barn portion of the property. The siding will be replaced with the same colour to match the existing. The property owner had submitted a minor variance application to the Committee of Adjustment for the closing up of one window to accommodate the addition of a stone chimney to the coach house structure. The owner has withdrawn that application to be dealt with at a later date.
