Others Present: Thomas Douglas (Heritage Planner) and Jo-Anne Rudy (Clerk) 3. Regrets: Kate White, Jim O'Neill, Elena Dyagileva, Sharon Portelli, Sille Nygaard Mikkelsen, Torey Hunt and Councillor Meed Ward 4. Declarations of Interest: None 5. Approval of Minutes: 5. Approve minutes from meeting held on March 3, 8 6. Delegation(s): None 7. Regular Items: On motion, the minutes from meeting held on March 3, 8 were approved as presented. 7. Heritage planner update a. Consultation on heritage permit application for 338 Dundas Street (St. Paul's Presbyterian Church and Cemetery)
Thomas advised that the purpose of this heritage permit application is to allow a land division to dedicate the cemetery to the City while retaining the church in private ownership. The City is already the "owner" of the cemetery for purposes of the Funerals, Burials and Cremation Services Act (formerly the Cemeteries Act) and the Roads, Parks and Forestry Department currently maintains the cemetery. Staff do not believe the land division will have any impact on the attributes protected by the heritage designation by-law and have no objections to issuing a heritage permit. Motion - Heritage Burlington supports the issuance of a heritage permit to facilitate the proposed land division for the purposes of dedicating the cemetery to the City of Burlington. b. Consultation on refinement of study area for heritage consultant's report on Downtown Mobility Hub Thomas advised that the heritage consultants (ASI) for the Downtown Mobility Hubs project will be doing the following: background historical research and preliminary identification of existing cultural heritage resources; field survey to identify and photograph cultural heritage resources within accessible portions of the study area; impact assessment based on the proposed land use plans, and development of policy recommendations and mitigation measures; report preparation including advice on direct and indirect impacts of development and identify mitigation measures. ASI has advised that it is not feasible to conduct an in-depth study of the entire Downtown Mobility Hub boundary due to size and noted that it is necessary to refine the study area with consideration to priority blocks/streets which are focus areas of change. For this reason staff are seeking Heritage Burlington's input to identify the priority areas to be included in this study. Committee comments were that Brant Street as a whole has character and that blockscapes should be looked at rather than individual properties. Motion - Direct the Brant Street Design Vision Task Force to refine the study area for the heritage study for the Downtown Mobility Hub and report back to the full committee in May. c. Updates on recently discussed heritage properties 2
8. Other Business: Thomas advised that Designation By-law 4-08 for 420 Inglewood Drive was repealed by Council on March 9 and the Notice of Decision was given in accordance with the Heritage Act. The property has been removed from the Register. Installation of the new windows for Lowville School House has been delayed due to a manufacturer's defect in the newly created custom windows. A public meeting will be held on April 30 at the School House from 6 to 8 p.m. so Parks & Recreation staff can consult with the public on the community needs for recreation facilities in the Lowville area, with a view to finding a new use for the School House. The City has retained a heritage architect who will be in attendance to provide heritage information about the School House. d. Department name change and staffing update Thomas advised that the Planning and Building Department has been renamed the Department of City Building. Some staffing changes within the department has resulted in Thomas accepting the Heritage Planner position on a permanent basis. 8. Terms of Reference for Brant Street Design Vision Task Force Michelle advised that the Task Force met and discussed the draft terms of reference. Some revisions were suggested. Action - Jo-Anne will distribute to committee members for review. 8.2 Infographics 9. Adjournment: Jo-Anne advised that final edits are being worked on by graphics staff. Chair adjourned the meeting at 9 p.m. 3
Planner Update: May 5, 8 Heritage Burlington. Draft Downtown Streetscape Design Guidelines Todd Evershed from the Urban Design team will delegate to provide information and invite feedback on the draft downtown streetscape design guidelines. HB members are encouraged to check out the draft guidelines before the meeting at https://www.burlington.ca/en/live-and-play/downtown-streetscape- Guidelines.asp. 2. Consultation regarding 48 Burlington Ave 48 Burlington Ave is a property listed on the Municipal Register but not designated. The owner of this property submitted notice of intention to demolish the house on the property. Under the Heritage Act (s.27), the owner is required to provide 60 days notice of their intention. The 60 th day in this instance is June 4 th, 8. ARA had reviewed this property for HB/the City along with many other properties in 4. This evaluation had found that 48 Burlington Ave met eligibility criteria for designation. Upon receiving the owner s notice of intention, staff retained ARA to conduct a more detailed analysis to expand upon their 4 evaluation. ARA provided a report dated April 27, 8, which is attached to this agenda. Planning staff requested that Heritage Burlington s Evaluation Subcommittee review the property using their draft evaluation guidelines prior to the May 5 th committee meeting. Planning staff will present a recommendation report to Council on June 4, 8. Due to timing constraints related to report submission deadlines and the Heritage Act 60-day period, it was not possible for staff to formally consult Heritage Burlington prior to writing the recommendation report. Staff seek to consult with Heritage Burlington on this matter. Heritage Burlington s comments will go directly to Council. 4
Heritage Burlington is asked to: o Review the April 8 ARA report on 48 Burlington Ave o Discuss the findings of the Evaluation Subcommittee o Provide comments advising Council how to respond to the owner s notice of intention to demolish (i.e.: designate the property to prevent demolition, or remove the property from the Register) 3. Updates on recently discussed heritage resources Around the Bay Race 5-mile milestone o Les Michalak from Burlington Runners Club delegated to the committee in February 8 to discuss the potential of moving the milestone (which has been moved before) to a more prominent location, not far from where it is currently in a City-owned Right-of-Way at Plains Road West and Spring Gardens Road. Les intends to raise funds to cover the cost of moving the milestone and installing an interpretive panel beside it. o Heritage Burlington requested that Les develop a more detailed fundraising plan and report back to the committee, at which point HB would consider contributing funds and/or resources. o HB member Maggie Steiss volunteered to work with Les on developing content for an interpretive panel to be installed beside the milestone (similar to the interpretive panel Heritage Burlington and Aldershot BIA developed for Aldershot Corners in 7). o Staff continue to work with Les on logistics. o A newspaper article on this topic was published in the Hamilton Spectator on March, 8: https://www.hamiltonnews.com/opinionstory/83379-around-the-bay-road-race-the-story-of-the-stones/ o Two milestones remain in Hamilton: the 5-mile on Hamilton beach and the 7-mile on York Blvd near the high-level bridge. Les has reached out to City of Hamilton staff as well as City of Burlington staff. o In April 8, City of Burlington staff hosted a meeting with Les Michalak, Howard and Maggie from Heritage Burlington, the Chair of Hamilton s municipal heritage committee (Heritage Burlington s counterpart in Hamilton), and City of Hamilton staff, to discuss a co-ordinated approach to commemorating the Around the Bay race and all three surviving 2 5
milestones. Both cities will take different approaches to commemoration, but will keep in touch and ensure consistency of information. o It is hoped that the relocation of the Burlington milestone and installation of the interpretive panel beside it can be completed before the 5 th annual Around the Bay race in March 9. After that, Les may additionally pursue the funding and installation of a bench next to the Burlington milestone. Lowville School (in Lowville Park, 67 Lowville Park Road) o This is a designated building owned by the City. A heritage permit was issued in spring 7 for the replacement of the windows with custom replicas. Installation of these windows was delayed due to a manufacturer s defect but was completed in April 8. o Councillor Taylor delegated to Heritage Burlington in November 7 to advise that he hoped to see the building restored and rehabiliated/adapted for new recreational uses, whereas currently it is underutilized. o The 8 capital budget allocated funding for the future use of the building to be studied. This funding has been used to retain a heritage architect to study the building and develop concepts for a heritage-sensitive rehabilitation of the building. This includes recommending the most sensitive way to accommodate retrofits for accessibility (ramps, wider door widths), bathrooms, and HVAC, which are necessary if the building is to be given a new use. o On April 30, 8, Parks & Recreation staff hosted an Open House at the Lowville School. At this meeting: Parks & Rec staff asked the public for ideas for potential recreational uses for the building; Capital Works staff and the heritage architect (Alex Temporale of ATA) presented preliminary concepts of how the retrofitted/udpated building might look; Planning staff (Thomas) was present to share information on the history of Lowville and the school, and applicable heritage regulations; The public was also invited to share stories and photographs of the School s past. 3 6
o The meeting was well attended and residents showed interest in conserving the heritage of the school. Some feedback that was received: Residents made it clear that they valued the original slate chalkboards and want them conserved. These are not currently protected by the designation by-law for the property, which only refers to exterior features. Residents expressed that the school is a highly photographed landmark in the park and its exterior appearance should be conserved. Concerns were expressed about the visual impact of a ramp or other accessibility features detracting from the appearance of the building. Questions were raised about the feasibility of finding a new recreational use in a building with no water supply. o Parks & Rec staff and Capital Works staff will consider the public feedback and continue to work on concepts for the school over the summer. Depending on the outcome, they may seek funding for implementation in the 9 capital budget. o Prior to implementation of any proposal, the final concept must be reviewed by Heritage Burlington and a heritage permit must be issued. 4. Consultation on Refinement of Study Area for Heritage Consultant s Report on Downtown Mobility Hub In April 8, staff requested advisory comments from Heritage Burlington to refine the study area(s) for a cultural heritage study of the downtown that will inform the development of planning policies for the Downtown Mobility Hub Area- Specific Plan. Upon completion and approval, the area-specific plan policies will be incorporated into the Official Plan and will guide future land use decisions in the downtown. The Cultural Heritage (not including archaeology) study is intended to identify impacts of potential future development in priority areas on cultural heritage resources, and to make recommendations to the Mobility Hubs team about any policies that should be incorporated into the Area- Specific Plan to ensure that future development will not adversely impact those resources. The study is not intended to recommend designation of properties or the creation of a Heritage District. The consultants (ASI) will be doing the following: 4 7
o Background historical research and preliminary identification of existing cultural heritage resources; o Field survey to identify and photograph individual cultural heritage resources within accessible portions of the study areas; o Impact assessment based on the proposed land use plans, and development of policy recommendations and mitigation measures; o Report preparation (report will provide advice on direct and indirect impacts of development and mitigation measures will be identified). ASI has advised that it is not feasible to conduct an in-depth study of the entire Downtown Mobility Hub boundary, as the area is too large. It is necessary to refine the study area, with consideration for priority blocks/streets which are focus areas of change. Staff seek Heritage Burlington s input on the areas to be included in the study area. HB s Downtown subcommittee/task force has been working on this request over the last month and has compiled photos and a draft list of properties/streetscapes to be included in the study area. This material is attached to tonight s agenda. Heritage Burlington is asked to: o review the attached Downtown Mobility Hub Precinct Plan and precinct summary sheet that describes what type of development is proposed in each precinct; o review the attached draft map of downtown heritage resources; o review the attached draft recommendations prepared by the Downtown Subcommittee/Task Force; o advise staff of priority areas that Heritage Burlington would like to see included in ASI s study of cultural heritage resources. 5 8

Evaluation of 48 Burlington Avenue According to O. Reg. 9/06.0 INTRODUCTION The City of Burlington has requested that Archaeological Research Associates Ltd. (ARA) assist with the evaluation of the cultural heritage value or interest of 48 Burlington Avenue according to Ontario Regulation 9/06 (O. Reg. 9/06) to determine if the property is worthy of designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. 2.0 METHOD This report examines the design of the property, presents its history and describes its context. 2. Site Visit A site visit was conducted on April 23, 8. ARA recommended in their proposal that a site visit on the property take place with Permission to Enter (PTE). However, the City indicated that PTE for 48 Burlington Avenue may not be possible. As such, the site visit was conducted from public property (see Map 2). Given that the site visit was limited to areas of public access (e.g., roadways, intersections, non-private lands, etc.), there is always the possibility that obscured cultural heritage resources may be missed or that heritage attributes may be refined upon closer inspection. PTE also allows for an in-depth review of the building in order to better determine if elements have been installed or modified post the original construction date. The site visit conducted from public property allowed for a review of the façade but did not allow a review of the side and back elevations of the building. 2.2 Research Background information was obtained from historical maps (e.g., illustrated atlases), archival sources (e.g., historical publications and records), and published secondary sources (online and print). Research using tax assessment rolls may provide additional background information on the occupation history of the subject property, however these rolls do not exist for the time period in question for the City of Burlington. Vernon's directories for the City of Burlington are available beginning in 959, which is beyond the period of importance for this building, therefore they were not consulted. Further, building permits and newspapers may provide additional details, but time allocated for their consultation was beyond the scope of this report. The Burlington Historical Society was also contacted regarding their George Blair collection. However, at the time of writing this report no response was received. 2.3 Method Conclusion Using the results of the site visit and research detailed above, the cultural heritage value or interest of 48 Burlington Avenue is evaluated against the criteria prescribed in O. Reg. 9/06 of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA). If the property meets any of the criteria, a Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest (CHVI) is then provided including a list of heritage attributes. 3.0 PROPERTY INFORMATION Civic Address: 48 Burlington Avenue Common Name: None Legal Description: Plan 74, Pt Lt 3 April 8 HR-8-8 Archaeological Research Associates Ltd.

It has been modified with new windows, siding in the gables and a porch addition. 48 Burlington Avenue does not display a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic value. 48 Burlington Avenue does not display a high degree of technical or scientific achievement. 48 Burlington Avenue is not directly associated with a theme, event, belief, person, activity, organization or institution that is significant to a community. Although it is associated with the Bell family, no information about the Bell family member who resided here (John Bell) was found during research conducted, suggesting he was not a prominent community member. 48 Burlington Avenue does not yield information that contributes to the understanding of a community or culture. 48 Burlington Avenue was constructed by George Blair, a prominent local builder. Blair typically constructed red brick Queen Anne residential structures. However, a review of other houses constructed by Blair in Burlington with Queen Anne detailing demonstrate that the subject property is not the best representation of his work. 48 Burlington Avenue is part of a row of historic homes and contributes to the historic streetscape of Burlington Avenue. 48 Burlington Avenue is not physically, functionally, visually or historically linked to its surroundings. 48 Burlington Avenue is not a landmark.

Evaluation of 48 Burlington Avenue According to O. Reg. 9/06 8.0 STATEMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE VALUE OR INTEREST Introduction and Description of Property 48 Burlington Avenue is located on the southwest side of Burlington Avenue in the City of Burlington. The property consists of a two-and-a-half storey three-bay red brick vernacular house with Queen Anne elements. The residence was constructed in 885. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest Contextual Value 48 Burlington Avenue is set back from the road on the southwest side of Burlington Avenue located just north of Lake Ontario. The property is part of a row of historic homes and contributes to the historic streetscape of Burlington Avenue. Other historic homes on Burlington Avenue date from the 870s through to the early 900s. The houses have similar setbacks and their varying architectural styles add to the character of the street. The street is part of a larger residential neighbourhood west of the City s downtown that has distinct historical character. Cultural Heritage Attributes The heritage attributes that contribute to the cultural heritage value or interest of 48 Burlington Avenue include, but are not limited to: Two-and-a-half-storey red brick house; Situation set back from the road on a narrow lot; and Location on a street with other historic homes. 9.0 CONCLUSIONS O. Reg. 9/06 of the OHA requires that to be designated, a property must meet one or more of the criteria grouped into the categories of design or physical value, historical or associative value, and contextual value. 48 Burlington Avenue meets one of the criteria for determining CHVI as outlined in O. Reg. 9/06. The property possesses contextual value as it contributes to the historical character of Burlington Avenue. On its own, 48 Burlington Avenue does not possess Physical/Design Value or Historical and Associative Value. However, when viewed as part of the Burlington Avenue streetscape, it is a contributing resource. The Provincial Policy Statement notes that CHVI is bestowed upon cultural heritage resources by communities (MMAH 4). Accordingly, the system by which heritage is governed in this province places emphasis on the decision-making of local municipalities in determining CHVI. It is hoped that the information presented in this report will be useful in those deliberations. 7 April 8 HR-8-8 28 Archaeological Research Associates Ltd.
