Good
morning,
everybody
and
welcome
to
the
built
Heritage
committee
meeting
for
September

2023.
I'd
like
to
call
the
members
to
order.
This
hybrid
meeting
is
being
facilitated
through
zoom
and
is
being
held
on
the
traditional
territory
of
the
Algonquin
anishinaabe
Nation,
the
original
custodians
of
the
unseated
land
in
which
the
city
of
Ottawa
is
located.
D
We
extend
our
respect
to
all
First
Nations
mat
peoples
for
their
valuable
past
and
present
contributions
to
this
land
members
are
reminded
to
submit
any
motions
they
might
have
visual
supports
or
Declarations
of
interest
in
writing
to
the
coordinator
at
their
earliest
opportunity.
Although
the
deadlines
have
passed
for
residents
to
register
to
speak
and
provide
written

You
so
much
are
there
any
Declarations
of
Interest,
seeing
none
are
the
minutes
of
Tuesday
July

2023
confirmed
confirmed.
Thank
you.
Our
first
order
of
business
is
an
application
for
Demolition
and
new
construction
at
at
2
30
to
32
lisgar
Street,
a
property
designated
under
part.
Five
of
the
Ontario
Heritage
act.
I'd
ask
staff
to
provide
a
presentation.
F
F
So
before
us
is
an
application
to
demolish
230
and
233
lisgar
Street
and
construct
a
new
nine-story
apartment
building,
Residential
Building,
the
properties
are
designated
under
part
five
of
the
Ontario
Heritage
act
and
located
in
the
center
Town
Heritage
Conservation
District
next
slide.
Please,
the
subject
properties
are
outlined
in
red
on
this
slide.
They
are
located
on
the
Northern
edge
of
the
hcd
boundary
situated
on
the
south
side
of
lisgar
street
west
of
Metcalf
Street
and
East
of
O'connor
Street.
F
Each
property
contains
a
two
and
a
half
story:
front
Gable
house
clad
and
brick
constructed
Circa,
1888
and
they're
situated
immediately
east
of
three
other
similarly
scaled
front:
Gable
houses,
south
of
a
12-story
apartment,
building
and
west
of
an
eight-story
apartment.
Building
next
slide.
Please.
F
F
The
proposed
49
unit
building
is
Nine
Stories
in
height.
The
first
image
on
the
slide
here
on
the
left
is
the
front
elevation
as
seen
from
lisgar
Street.
Here
we
see
the
massing,
which
consists
of
three
distinct
vertical
bays
and
includes
a
three-story
Podium
and
further
step
back
at
the
ninth
floor.
F
We
also
see
the
softscaped
rare
yard
amenity
space,
the
vehicular
access
to
the
underground
parking
garage
via
car
elevator,
a
landscaped
front
yard
includes
of
new
plantings,
entranceway
and
a
seating
area
adjacent
to
the
main
entrance,
and
then
the
last
image
on
the
right
pair
is
a
close-up
on
some
of
the
proposed
materiality,
which
consists
of
red
brick
cladding
on
all
elevations,
with
perforated
metal.
Accents
on
selected
brick
returns
that
mimics
some
of
the
decorative
patterns
found
on
232
lisgar
Street's
existing
woodwork
next
slide.
Please.
F
F
The
three
distinct
vertical
bays
and
windows
will
help
maintain
the
streetscape's
historic
Rhythm
and
provide
a
successful
transition
to
the
neighboring
property.
And,
lastly,
it's
red
brick
and
perforated
metal
detailing
mimic
materiality
that
honor
the
residential
character
of
the
hcd
next
slide.
Please.
F
D

H
Hi
there,
thanks
for
being
here
and
thanks
to
Heritage
stuff
I,
mean
I,
think
it's
a
beautiful
building,
I
think
it'll.
Look
wonderful
on
the
streetscape
I
just
have
a
question.
Could
you
remind
me
of
how
many
Bachelor
one
bedroom
two
bedrooms
you're
intending
for
this
space
and
how
big
the
largest
apartments
are.
G
Sorry,
thank
you
I
would
say.
A
rough
estimation
would
be
would
be
current
with
market
trends,
so
there
is
going
to
be
a
a
slant
towards
smaller
units
towards
one
bedroom
units.
I
believe
the
the
final
tally
was
around
70
percent,
one
bedrooms
to
thirty
percent
two
bedroom
units.
We
do
have
larger
two
bedroom
units
towards
the
top
of
the
building
I
believe
the
largest
unit
is
around
950
square
feet.
H
But
again
this
is
a
trend
that
that
revitalization
and
intensification
also
do
lead
to
displacement
in
our
neighborhoods
and
a
loss
of
larger
family
style
Apartments.
But
that
said,
I
really
do
appreciate
the
work
of
staff
and
the
work
of
the
applicant
to
make
this
building
fit
into
the
neighborhood
and
from
what
I
can
tell
folks
are
quite
pleased
with
it.
Thank
you.
I
Hi,
it's
it's
really
quite
a
beautiful
building
and
I
I.
Well,
it's
no
longer
on
the
screen,
but
I
think
you
guys
have
done
a
really
great
job
of
connecting
the
massing
of
the
building
to
the
adjacent
property
and
it's
very
clear,
especially
with
230
lisgar,
that
that
building
has
lost
a
lot
of
its
character.
Defining
elements-
and
perhaps
you
know,
232
lisgar
is
the
building
with
with
more
value,
and
you
are
trying
to
address
some
of
its
character.
I
I
Building,
what's
going
to
happen
across
the
street?
To
that
oak
tree,
which
is
just
one
one,
building
with
a
parking
lot
in
beside
and
I,
think
we
we
kind
of
need
to
look
at
this
in
terms
of
how
it's
affecting
the
big
picture
and-
and
that's
not
for
you,
for
you
guys
to
address
right.
That's
for
us,
as
citizens
of
the
city
of
Ottawa,
to
talk
about,
but
I
do
think
that
this
is
kind
of
Representative
of
this
chipping
away.
J
Yes,
sir,
thank
you
again.
It's
a
great
intervention
to
into
the
neighborhood
in
the
city,
I
think
it's
going
to
contribute
to
the
district.
Unfortunately,
at
the
cost
of
demolishing
a
couple
of
Heritage
buildings,
I
was
going
to
raise
some
of
the
points
that
the
member
had
raised
about
the
sort
of
tyrant
way
of
the
the
Heritage
fabric
of
the
district.
J
This
is
The
Edge,
some
substantiation
for
permitting
the
demolition
replacement
of
these
of
the
buildings
is
that
it
was
at
the
edge
of
the
Heritage
District,
but
if
we
keep
losing
sort
of
those
buildings,
how
do
we
Define
the
edge
of
the
Heritage
District
again?
That's
this.
The
wire
question,
I
hope
in
the
future
that
the
rationale
used
just
for
this
site
does
not
go
forward
to
say
the
neighboring
buildings
then
become
sacrificial.
For
the
same
reasons,
this
is
a
greater
picture.
J
This
goes
beyond
sort
of
the
project,
but
to
your
project
in
the
trace
report.
In
supplemental
information,
there
is
a
statement
about
recording
I'm,
paraphrasing
a
bit
recording
and
also
commemoration
of
the
buildings
that
are
there
now
Juris
mentioned
of
the
recording
aspect
of
it
was
any
more
thought
given
to
how
to
commemorate
the
existing
buildings.
Further.
G
Foreign
state
that
the
commemoration
that
would
be
we
would
be
giving
these
these
existing
buildings
would
be
through
the
detailing
that
we're
going
to
be
applying
to
the
podium
levels.
So
that
would
be
through
the
the
treatment
of
the
metal
panels,
the
that
are
on
the
return
side
and
the
scale
of
the
podium
levels
as
well.
G
So
the
the
scale
for
the
podium
for
the
you
know
the
massing
of
the
building
be
brought
down
from
where
it
was
originally
to
more
closely
replicate
the
height
of
the
existing
buildings
that
are
on
site
in
the
adjacent
buildings
and
the
widths
of
these
of
these
elements
as
well
right.
They
work
with
the
same
width
to
create
to
create
similar
Cadence
with
the
width
of
the
existing
housing
stock.
G
That's
on
the
site
right
now,
so
we're
making
reference
to
the
mass
and
basically
to
the
footprint
of
the
buildings
that
occupied
the
site
currently
and
then
we're
making
reference
to
the
detailing
that
we
found
on
those
faces
and
other
treatments,
the
brickwork,
in
the
way
that
we're
looking
at
the
masonry
detailing
for
the
project
as
well.
So
they
are,
you
know
subtle,
cues,
but
at
the
same
time
as
we
as
we
look
to
to
redevelop
the
site
with
greater
density,
you
know
there.
J
That
does
go
towards
making
the
building
fit
in
and
draw
from
the
existing
Heritage
and
site
to
inform
the
design
when
I
think
of
commemoration
I'm
thinking
of
aspects
of
a
you
know,
interpretive
plaque,
perhaps
salvaging
features
of
the
building
and
installing
perhaps
in
a
Lobby.
For
example.
If
the
barge
board
that
inspired
the
perforated
panel
was
Salvage
and
put
there
with
epoxy,
and
this
is
from
the
original
house-
and
this
relates
to,
for
example,
the
detailing
of
the
building.
G
Right-
and
this
is
certainly
something
we
could
investigate-
I
mean
there's,
there's
quite
a
bit
that
would
have
to
go
into
salvaging.
You
know
portions
of
the
existing
building
and
ensuring
that
they
were
salvageable,
but
we
could
certainly
investigate
carefully
removing
certain
components
to
be
preserved
and
then
displayed
or
or
used
in
the
new
building,
because.
J
Appropriate
panel
is,
it
is
a
very
subtle
reference
to
the
barge
board
detail.
I
really
appreciate
that
as
like
a
contemporary
interpretation
of
that
in
a
different
material,
if
it
could
have
been
brought
to
the
front
of
the
building
as
well.
Where
that
detail
is
present
on
the
billing,
they
use.
The
red
brick
maintains
the
continuity
of
the
existing
material,
but
part
of
the
heritage
of
brick.
Masonry
is
not
just
it's
the
red
brick,
which
you
can
have
a
series
of
red
brick
houses.
J
It's
that
additional
little
detailing
that
gives
the
expression
of
the
of
the
craftsmanship
the
sort
of
additional
efforts
of
Mason,
also
the
Builder.
So
it's
just
you
know
the
little
edges,
the
corbling,
the
accents
around
the
windows,
so
the
background
information
provides.
The
project
does
read
that
there's
an
effort
to
do
that.
Perhaps
a
bit
more
effort
or
taken
along
to
put
some
more
details
in
to
allow
the
Mason
to
you
know
Express
their
practice
a
little
bit
further.
J
If
it's
a
thought,
there's
these
two
buildings
relate
to
each
other
in
that
the
window
and
the
Gable.
It
actually
has
a
different
shape
from
what's
usually
common
for
this
period
of
billing,
very
impressive,
distinctive
detail
for
the
Builder
or
designer
of
the
of
the
house.
Perhaps
that's
the
if
they're
still
allowed
to
to
tweak
the
design
to
take
inspiration
from
the
shape
of
that
window
to
create
a
panel
into
brickwork.
J
To
me,
that's
an
aspect
of
like
you
know
pointing
out
things
are
distinct
about
these
buildings
that
make
them
different
from
the
other
buildings.
Anyway.
Those
are
my
comments
so
again,
I
appreciate
the
effort
into
the
design.
I
think
it
does
fit
into
the
district
and
contributes
to
the
district
and
the
city.
Thank
you.
I
Sorry,
just
one
one
other
thing:
I
guess
in
in
the
same
vein
of
what
member
Madigan
is
saying
in
terms
of
retention
and
documenting
documenting
these
buildings
before
they
are
demolished,
I
think
that
it
would
be
especially
relevant
if,
if
possible,
I,
don't
know
what
the
interior
condition
is
of
these
buildings,
but
at
230
lisgar.
If
there
is
any
evidence
of
what
that
original
facade
was
behind
that
two-story,
brick
Edition.
That
should
certainly
be
documented
as
well
and
coming
at
this
from
a
completely
different
angle.
I
I'm,
not
sure
if
there's
a
program
within
the
city
of
Ottawa
of
any
sort
of
Salvage
materials,
but
certainly
that
Rebel
stone
foundation,
those
stones
would
probably
be
much
higher
value
than
what
we
can
get
out
of
our
quarries
now.
So
if
that
can
be
repurposed
in
sort
of
a
respectful
way,
I
think
that
that
would
be
very
strongly
encouraged
in
in
terms
of
the
standards
and
guidelines,
but
also
just
in
terms
of
a
practical
point
of
view.
D
D
Seeing
none
is
the
report
carried
period.
Thank
you.
This
report
will
be
submitted
to
the
planning
and
housing
committee
on
September
20th
2023
for
consideration.
Our
next
item
is
an
application
to
alter
Somerset
house
352
Somerset
Street
West,
a
property
designated
under
part
5
of
the
Ontario
Heritage
act
and
located
in
the
center
Town
Heritage
Conservation
District
I'll
invite
staff
to
give
a
presentation
on
this
application.
C
Thank
you
good
morning,
members
of
committee,
we're
here
today
to
in
front
of
you,
is
an
application
to
alter
Somerset
Health
at
352,
Somerset,
Street
West,
a
property
I'm
sure
you're
familiar
with
it's
designated
under
part,
five
of
The
Heritage
act
and
located
in
the
center
town.
Hcd
next
slide
some
context.
It's
located
prominently
at
the
intersection,
the
southeast
corner
of
Somerset
and
Bank
Street
in
Centertown
next
slide
some
context
and
some
history
on
the
property.
It
was
constructed
in
1896
as
a
department
store
in
2007
as
part
of
a
renovation
project.
C
The
building
partially
collapsed
and
has
remained
vacant
and
deteriorated
ever
since
it
is
subject
to
multiple
building
code
act,
orders,
notices,
violation
and
property
standard
orders.
It
is
listed
on
the
city's
Heritage
watch
list
and
is
monitored
regularly
by
City
staff
next
slide.
These
are
some
photos
of
the
property
showing
it
in
its
current
condition.
C
C
In
2002,
Heritage
staff
brought
forward
a
report
to
bhc
to
provide
an
update
in
the
high
level
cost
estimate
for
the
immediate
urgent
work
to
be
undertaken
on
the
building.
Should
the
city
move
to
undertake
the
work
the
city
has
not
had
to
undertake
any
of
the
work
as
the
most
critical
work
was
found
to
not
be
immediately
necessary
and
the
owner
has
been
working
towards
compliance
with
with
the
orders.
C
Some
of
the
work
that
has
been
completed
on
the
building
recently
includes
installation
of
additional
lateral
braces
in
the
basement,
repointing
of
an
interior,
brick
wall
and
pure
elements
in
infilling
of
the
floor,
openings
and
removal
of
debris.
Also
in
these
photos,
you
can
see
the
restoration
of
the
middle
cornice
at
the
street
level.
Next
slide,
yeah
in
front
of
you
I
think
the
applicant
is
here
today
to
do
an
overview
of
The
Proposal,
but
it
basically
will
be
a
mixed-use
building
with
two
commercial
units
and
14
residential
units.
C
C
This
I'm
just
flagging
it's
sort
of
an
interesting
component
of
The
Rehabilitation
and
it's
based
on
historic
evidence.
It's
the
reinstatement
of
the
bay
windows
on
the
second
and
third
story
of
the
bank,
Street
facade
and
the
restoration
of
the
original
commercial
storefront
of
the
property,
including
the
the
large
Windows,
the
sign
boards
and
those
components.
C
This
is
rendering
showing
the
addition
you
can
see
it's
a
flat
roof
structure,
clad
in
Brick
and
glazing.
It's
delineated
from
the
historic
building
by
a
glass
curtain
wall
there's
secondary
cornices
that
wrap
around
the
East
and
North
facade,
and
you
can
see
that
three
Bay
rhythm
is
sort
of
echoed
on
that
on
the
Edition
next
slide.
C
Staff
have
reviewed
the
proposal
and
have
determined
that
it
meets
the
center
town
and
Minto
Park
hcd
plan,
as
well
as
the
applicable
standards
and
guidelines
for
the
conservation
of
historic
places
next
slide,
and
then
staff
are
recommending
of
approval
of
the
application
subject
to
quite
a
few
conditions.
So
the
first
is
the
implementation
of
the
conservation
measures
in
the
Heritage
impact
assessment.
Those
conservation
measures
will
detail
the
specific
restoration
pieces
that
happen
to
each
element
of
the
building.
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
there
was
a
clear
understanding
of
that.
C
The
applicant
will
submit
reports
monitoring
the
condition
of
the
structure
once
the
construction
starts,
we'll
ask
for
material
samples
for
for
any
new
material
to
be
used
and
then
the
submission
of
a
construction
schedule
which
will
help
our
colleagues
in
building
code
services
with
their
monitoring
of
the
structure
and
and
to
understand
what
work
is
happening
when
next
slide
and
then
finally,
just
a
couple
additional
points
on
some
of
the
structural
monitoring.
That
is
happening
because,
obviously
that's
a
concern
or
interest,
that's
top
of
mind
for
everybody.
C
The
applicant
has
submitted
a
design,
intent
Report
with
with
this
application,
the
details,
the
rehabilitation
approach
to
the
building,
as
well
as
the
approach
to
the
seismic
upgrades,
and
that
document
has
been
reviewed
by
our
colleagues
in
building
code
Services.
It
will
be
subject
to
a
complete
engineering
review
as
part
of
the
building
permit
application,
and
it
will
once
construction
starts.
It
will
be
subject
to
increased
inspections
on
the
site
throughout
the
process,
at
the
discretion
of
the
Chief
Building
officials
next
slide,
and
that
is
it.
Thank
you.
D
C
Sure,
thank
you
counselor.
So
the
Robertson
Martin
report
was
a
document
that
the
city
commissioned
to
support
the
June
2022
report
that
came
to
this
committee.
So
it
outlined
all
the
immediate,
urgent
work
that
would
have
to
happen
if
the
city
under
10
was
to
undertake
the
work.
We
can't
it's
a
city
document.
C
We
can't
require
the
applicant
to
to
use
it,
but
what
we
did
do
and
you'll
see
in
the
Heritage
impact
assessment
is
that
it's
a
reference
document
for
the
Heritage
impact
assessment,
so
the
Heritage
impact
assessment
referenced
that
document
and
then
sort
of
implemented
a
lot
of
the
pieces
of
it
into
the
conservation,
elevations
and
conservation
approach,
and
that's
what
we've
tied
them
to
through
the
recommendation.
The
first
condition.
H
Great
well,
we
all
know
there's
an
understandable
level
of
skepticism
in
the
community.
It's
been
17
years
that
this
building
has
been
sitting
derelict
and
it's
been
a
real
eyesore
and
it's
the
building
I
hear
the
most
about
in
the
neighborhood
I
guess.
My
first
question
is:
what
guarantees
do
we
have
that
this
will
actually
happen?
My
understanding
is
that
this
is
the
third
iteration
that
has
come
to
Heritage
Committee
in
17
years.
I
either
the
applicant
or
Heritage
staff
are
welcome
to
answer.
K
I
think
I
can
answer
that
counselor
I've
been
involved
in
the
project
since
2016.,
so
we've
been
involved
for
two
iterations
now
one
of
the
iterations
that
we
did
in
2017.
One
of
the
issues
that
came
up
was
there
was
a
big
question
about
seismic
capability
of
the
Heritage
building
and
there
was
a
big
conflict
between
the
engineering
staff
and
City
engineering
staff
that
helped
in
derail
that
previous
submission.
K
K
There
are
some
I,
don't
want
to
say,
concerns
in
the
lack
of
sophistication
of
the
client
in
terms
of
dealing
with
building
construction
issues,
but
we're
hopeful
that
those
things
will
be
kind
of
addressed
as
we
go
through.
The
process
with
the
city
and
Heritage
staff
have
been
very
helpful
in
understanding
that
it's
it's
a
building
being
done
by
a
private,
not
even
developer,
a
private
individual.
H
Thank
you
very
much,
I
mean
I.
Keep
saying
perfect
is
the
enemy
of
good
and
I.
Think
the
community
is
just
desperate
to
see
something
developed
on
this
site.
I.
Think
it's
a
very
handsome
design.
Could
it
be
more
ambitious,
absolutely
but
I
think
the
community
just
wants
to
see
it
move
forward
and
I
just
wanted
to
take
the
chance
to
thank
and
give
credit
to
Heritage
planning,
bylaw
Ops
they've
been
working
on
this
file
for
17
years
long
before
me,
and
also
previous
counselors,
McKenney
and
Holmes
have
been
involved.
H
J
Yes,
thank
you.
We
appreciate
this
this
project
going
ahead.
Hopefully
it's
I've
been
around
here
for
this
line.
I
recall
the
building
falling
down,
unfortunately,
and
the
efforts
to
try
and
preserve
it
rebuild
it.
So
project
has
great
potential.
Hopefully
it
will
happen.
One
question
I'm,
not
sure
who
directed
this
question
to
the
billion
part
that
fell
down
had
a
mural,
honest
and
I.
Don't
know
that
was
ever
discussed
to
bring
that
back
or
the
equivalence
or.
C
J
Again,
I
I,
don't
know
the
history
of
murals,
it's
abusing
cities
murals
put
on
buildings,
so
you
should
go
through
a
whole
process.
There's
some
significance
to
it,
also
just
the
artistic
mirror.
So
if
we're
recreating
that
aspect
of
the
billing
is,
is
the
mural
something
that
should
be
considerably
back
up
there
by
the
same
artist
or
a
similar
sort
of
thing.
Thank
you.
C
I
type
in
a
thank
you,
member
I,
think
I
heard.
The
question
is:
when
were
the
bay
windows
on
the
bank,
Street
facade
changed
originally
I,
don't
think
we
have
I,
don't
think
we
have
the
date
of
when
they
were
changed,
but
the
rehabilitation
would
be
working
off
of
historic
evidence.
That
was
some
of
the
earlier
photos
of
the
building.
L
L
Just
wondering
as
this
process
evolves
is
there
with
potential
delays
and
potential
problems
that
result
in
again
nothing
advancing
with
this
site?
Is
there
a
plan
to
continue
thoroughly
monitoring
the
site
so
that
the?
When
should
the
time
come
where
the
city
does
feel
it
is
necessary
to
make
some
of
those
important
recommended
stabilizing
some
of
that
stabilizing
work
that
that
it
is
prepared
to
step
in
to
undertake
that
the
to
undertake
the
work?
So
is
there
a
plan
around
that.
C
C
There
was
not
as
much
underpinning
required
as
originally
thought,
and
then
it
was
sort
of
that
in
conjunction
with
the
owner,
undertaking
work
as
well,
so
it
was
sort
of
the
two-part
like
the
installation
of
lateral
braces
in
the
basement
and
the
repointing
of
the
stone
wall
in
the
basement.
So
it
was
those
the
combination
of
the
two
that
led
to
the
city,
not
undertaking
the
work
and
seeing
some
momentum
and
progress
on
the
file.
But
yes,
it
will
be.
It
will
continue
to
be
monitored.
Okay,.
I
Yes,
I'm
not
sure
who
is
best
to
answer
this,
but
I
I,
just
kind
of
had
some
clarifications
about
how
you
guys
see
this
project,
I
guess
in
terms
of
the
standards
and
guidelines
in
your
mind.
So
while
a
few
things
before
I
get
to
that,
one
I
think
it's
excellent.
You
guys
are
putting
that
turret
back
back
in
I.
Think
that's
wonderful!
It's
going
to
be
a
beacon.
People
are
going
to
see
it
and
I.
That
was
the
first
thing.
I
noted
and
I
I'm
I
think
that's,
that's
great!
I
That's
a
great
restoration
project.
So,
in
terms
of
the
building
as
a
whole,
though
you
have
a
few
different
standards
listed,
you
have
some
standards
from
preservation.
You
have
some
standards
from
Rehabilitation
and
then
also
restoration.
So
as
I
see
it,
the
the
actual
main
existing
part
of
the
building
is
going
to
be
a
restoration
project.
With
the
exception
of
that
back
wall
which
is
going
to
have
to
be
rebuilt,
but
those
existing
exterior
walls.
I
Those
are
going
to
remain
as
the
existing
wall
assembly
right,
okay,
great
and
then
that
back
rear
Edition
is
going
to
be.
The
rehabilitation
aspect.
Are
the
heating
and
cooling
systems
going
to
be
like,
throughout
the
whole,
the
whole
thing
or
I'm?
Just
I
guess:
I'm
I'm
curious
about
the
actual
authenticity
of
that
front
portion
of
the
building.
I.
Think
it's
great
that
the
continued
use
is
it's
going
to
be
a
retail
space,
so
people
can
go
in
similar
to
the
fact
that
it
was
a
department
store
and
and
experience
it
I.
I
K
Thank
you
for
the
question
counselor.
There
is
an
intention
in
terms
of
the
design
of
the
interior
of
the
building
like
for
the
residential
units.
The
the
units
that
are
in
the
Heritage
portion
of
the
building,
all
their
kitchen,
exhaust
and
washroom
exhaust,
is
all
going
to
go
to
the
roof.
So
we
don't
have
those
ugly
little
louvers
on
the
front
of
the
building
and
the
new
portion.
K
They
will
go
out
to
the
oh
to
the
street,
but
in
the
Heritage
Washington
we're
going
to
try
and
maintain
that
Heritage
character
in
terms
of
the
interior
of
the
building
most
of
the
existing
brick
walls,
because
there's
a
triple
white
brick
wall
on
the
exterior
they're
going
to
be
retained,
so
they'll,
be.
If
you
have
a
unit
on
the
second
floor
that
faces
Somerset,
Street
you'll
there'll
be
a
brick
wall,
That's
retained,
as
in
situous
for
the
original
design.
I
That's
wonderful,
so,
in
that
case,
I
would
encourage
the
city
staff
to
add
minimal
intervention
standard
three
as
one
of
like
the
primary
standards
that's
being
applied
to
this,
just
just
so
that
we
can
all
understand
that
this
isn't
like
a
Disney
building
right
like
we're,
not
faking
that
this
is
a
replication
of
the
past
and
we
don't
have
insulation
in
those
walls.
It's
a
triple
with
a
brick.
It's
done
right
and
we're
really
conserving
that
value,
and
then
the
rehabilitation
part
is
that
that
rare
addition?
Okay,
wonderful!
Thank
you.
B
Just
very
briefly,
in
anticipating
some
of
the
discussion
that
I
know
will
probably
be
engendered
by
this.
Pretty
high
profile
project
in
the
community
is
our
decision
today,
as
a
committee.
Does
that
hinge
on
whether
or
not
we
have
any
guarantee
that
this
work
will
actually
move
forward?
What
is
the,
what
is
the
criteria
by
which
we
need
to
make
a
decision
today.
C
Thank
you,
member
leaper,
I
I.
Think
the
committee's
decision
today
is
on
the
application.
That's
in
front
of
you.
It's
for
the
Edition
to
the
building
and
the
restoration
of
the
historic
building
staff
aren't
able
to
provide
any
sort
of
guarantee
that
that
this
will
happen.
So
it's
we're
very
hopeful.
It
does
and
like
Richard
mentioned,
there's
some
tangible
signs
that
it
is
moving
forward
in
terms
of
having
the
site
plan
applications
submitted
and
the
zoning
submitted
and
the
building
permit
drawings
are
in
for
review.
C
Some
work
has
been
done
on
the
building,
so
there
are
signs
of
progress,
but
there's
no
there's
no
guarantee
we
can
provide.
We
can
show,
what's
in
front
of
you,
show
some
of
the
momentum
that's
in
place
and
then
sort
of
speak
to
member
Quinn's
question
about
the
monitoring.
What
will
happen
if
it
doesn't
happen?
But
but
what's
in
front
of
committee
today
is,
is
the
application
so.
B
B
C
C
B
D
You
seeing
no
other
questions.
Thank
you
so
much
for
making
yourself
available
for
questions.
We
also
have
David
Fleming
from
Heritage
Ottawa,
also
registered
as
a
speaker.
I
just
wanted
to
see
whether
you
wanted
to
speak
or
whether
it
was
necessary
to
speak.
If
the
committee
moves
forward
and
approves
this
application.
M
M
However,
before
further
renovation
and
new
construction
can
proceed,
it
is
essential
that
City
staff
make
it
a
priority
that
they,
in
conjunction
with
and
with
the
cooperation
of
the
applicant,
abide
by
the
56,
urgent
and
short-term
measures
for
the
remediation
and
stabilization
of
the
existing
building.
As
noted
in
the
conservation
guidelines
prepared
by
Robertson
Martin
architects
in
March
of
2022
before
any
further
renovation
and
new
construction
can
proceed,
we
also
urge
the
city
and
the
owner
to
consider
the
alternative
strategies,
as
outlined
in
section
6.0
of
the
Heritage
impact
statement
by
Commonwealth
historic
resource
management.
H
I
just
want
to
thank
you
and
Heritage
Ottawa
and
the
Community
Association
and
every
other
group
that
has
been
working
on
this
file
since
2007..
We
really
do
appreciate
your
contributions
and
I
hope
that
my
optimism
is
not
for
naught
that
we
can
finally
see
this
this
property
developed.
Thank
you
very
much.
D
D
D
The
city
has
been
anxious
to
save
Somerset
house
and
I
was
involved
in
some
of
those
conversations
in
the
last
term
of
counsel
and
I
know
that
we've
had
multiple
departments,
agencies,
Community
associations
involved
in
this
site
and
I
think
that
today
is
a
positive
step,
but
we're
only
cautiously
optimistic
because
there's
been
plenty
of
talk,
but
what
residents
now
expect?
Is
action
I'd
really
like
to
thank
staff
for
the
fact
that
they
have
ensured
that
conditions
have
been
placed
on
this
application?
D
All
we've
seen
multiple
people
from
the
community
we've
seen
City
staff
moving
forward
with
actions
to
save
Somerset
house.
It's
now
incumbent
upon
the
applicant
himself
to
work
towards
saving
Somerset
house
and
the
city
is
committed
to
preserving
the
Heritage
architecture
and
working
with
the
applicant.
So
we
really
do
encourage
the
applicant
to
work
with
the
city
and
to
work
with
the
community.
D

N
The
property
is
located
in
the
Highland
Park
neighborhood
in
Ward
15..
The
property
has
a
large
Lawn,
Bowling
Green
and
a
one
and
a
half
story
Clubhouse
without
buildings,
fronting
Byron
golden
and
Raven
Hill
Avenues,
the
club's
prominent
location
on
a
corner
and
large
manicured
grass,
Bowling
Green
in
front
of
the
clubhouse,
makes
it
a
recognizable
landmark
in
the
community.
The
property
can
be
seen
outlined
in
Blue
on
this
slide
next
slide.
N
The
designation
of
properties
in
Ottawa
is
Guided
by
the
provincial
policy
statement,
the
Ontario
Heritage
Act
and
the
city's
official
plan.
Additionally,
Ontario
regulation
0906
outlines
the
criteria
for
dirt
terminating
cultural
heritage,
value
or
interest.
Recent
changes
to
the
Ontario
Heritage
act
via
Bill
23
allow
properties
to
be
designated
if
they
meet
two
or
more
of
the
nine
criteria
specified
in
this
regulation.
Our
assessment
indicates
that
this
property
satisfies
six
of
out
of
the
nine
criteria
in
2022
city
council
listed
this
property
on
the
city's
Heritage
register.
N
Furthermore,
in
2022
city
council
instructed
staff
to
conduct
a
thorough
analysis
of
properties
in
Ward
15
that
are
already
listed
on
the
city's
Heritage
register,
with
the
aim
to
proactively
designate
them
under
part
4
of
the
Ontario
Heritage
Act.
This
directive,
coupled
with
the
Amendments
brought
about
by
Bill
23,
has
led
staff
to
review
all
listed
properties
in
ward
15..
N
Excellent
now
we'll
speak
to
the
culturals,
the
properties
cultural
heritage
value.
So
the
property
consists
of
a
large
Lawn
Bowling
Green,
a
one
and
a
half
story.
Clubhouse
and
outbuildings.
The
clubhouse
built
in
1914
has
a
simple
design
typical
of
early
20th
century
sports
facilities.
It
features
white,
siding
with
green
accents
and
Exhibits
characteristics
of
early
1900s,
Lawn
Bowling
Clubhouse.
N
Despite
several
alterations,
the
property
maintains
its
form
and
purpose.
It

an
early
20th
century
Lawn
Bowling
Club,
with
a
spacious,
green
and
a
functional
Clubhouse
439
golden
Avenue
also
has
historical
significance
in
Ottawa,
Sport
and
Society
history.
It
reflects
the
popularity
of
sports
and
recreational
clubs
during
the
emergence
of
the
middle
class.
The
club
has,
it
was
integral
to
the
Highland

development
and
served
as
a
Social
Hub.
The
Highland

D
Thank
you
for
that
excellent
report.
We
did
receive
correspondence
on
this
application
from
Heritage
Ottawa
and
David
Fleming
from
Heritage
ottawa's,
also
registered
to
speak.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
David
once
again
whether
he
would
be
interested
in
speaking
on
this
item
or
not.
If
this
item
were
to
pass.
B
B
Appreciate
your
making
the
time
for
this
I
also
appreciate
the
work
of
Stephanie
in
my
office,
who
has
been
shepherding
this
along
as
well
as
the
members
of
the
community
who
I
understand,
have
been
very
helpful
in
providing
some
valuable
research
on
the
background
for
this
building.
I
I
very
much
obviously
support
the
designation.
I
had
a
great
conversation
yesterday
with
actually
former
counselor
David
chernuchenko
about
understanding
the
history
of
Ottawa
through
Sports,
who
gets
to
play.
Where
do
they
play?
What
do
they
play?
B
A
lot
of
really
profound
insights
about
the
history
of
our
city
can
be
gleaned
from
the
gains
that
we
played
and
I'm
curious
to
hear
more
from
him
in
the
coming
coming
months
about
that.
But
I
think
it's
important
that
we
preserve
some
of
these
physical
touchstones
residents
know
that
the
Granite
Curling
Club
has
now
disappeared
from
kitchissippi
Ward,
and
that
has
practical
implications
for
our
15-minute
neighborhood
community.
But
it
also
has
historical
connotations.
B
It
was
at
after
a
game
of
shiny
between
some
of
ottawa's,
most
influential
people
a
few
years
ago
with
the
the
Granite
Club
that
the
decision
was
made.
Let's
pursue
the
Ottawa
Senators
right,
there's,
there's
a
lot
of
sports
history
in
kitchissippi
and
and
we're
losing
it
we're
losing
that
physical
manifestation
of
it
and
I
think
the
preservation
of
the
Elmdale
or
sorry
the
Highland
Park
Lawn,
Bowling
Club
is
is
critical
to
stemming
loss
of
at
least
some
of
that
history.
So
thank
you
for
your
work.
J
J
You
use
the
term
Landmark
when,
for
most
people,
whether
your
architecture
or
Landmark,
usually
connotates
something
more
prestigious.
Very
you
know
very
much
in
your
faith
and
that's
in
your
face,
but
prominence
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
I
recall
from
a
project
I
worked
on
where
we
were
replacing
sort
of
a
for
a
common
language
in
some
respects
could
be
considered
landmark
in
its
own
way
that
other
proponents
were
considering
something
more
dramatic.
N
J
D
Thank
you
for
that
question
and
those
comments.
Are
there
any
more
questions
for

other
