1.0 Introduction
Robert Ferrie Drive forms part of an integrated series of roads intended to accommodate traffic,
transit, connect communities, facilitate the staging of development and facilitate the conversion
of some roads to scenic roads/community trails. Historically, a number of roads were identified as
collector roads and through the detailed community planning process were reclassified to scenic
roads with replacement collector roads now conceptually identified in the Official Plan. One such
road is Stauffer Drive. Stauffer Drive was intended to be a collector road linking the Doon South
and Brigadoon Communities to the southerly extension of Strasburg Road. Robert Ferrie Drive has
essentially replaced Stauffer Drive as an essential east/west collector road connecting the
Brigadoon and Doon South Communities to the broader arterial road network.
The City of Kitchener Official Plan and Doon South and Brigadoon Community Plans conceptually
identify Robert Ferrie Drive as a straight line extension from its current terminus westerly to the
southerly extension of Strasburg Road.
The City of Kitchener has been engaged in a process of studying and evaluating alignment
alternatives for what is referred to as the south section of Strasburg Road. A preferred alignment
has now been selected with the result being, the south section of Strasburg Road has shifted
approximately 700 metres west of what is shown conceptually in the Official Plan. This shift
relates (in large part) to environmental and heritage considerations.
Input received during the Strasburg Road Class Environmental Assessment process resulted in
approval of By-law 2013-026. This by-law designates 500 Stauffer Drive as being of cultural value
or interest. The reasons for designation are as set out in the designating by-law.
There are Core Environmental Features and designated heritage resources located between the
current terminus of Robert Ferrie Drive and the future extension of Strasburg Road. The changed
geometrics associated with the southern alignment of Strasburg Road will also have some
bearing on the location of a preferred Robert Ferrie Drive/Strasburg Road intersection.
The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment is to review and evaluate the reasonable range of
alignment alternatives for the westerly extension of Robert Ferrie Drive having regard to changed
circumstances/considerations since Robert Ferrie Drive was first shown in the Official Plan. The
evaluation will include public and agency input. The intent is the Official Plan Amendment will
identify the preferred alignment for the westerly extension of Robert Ferrie Drive and the south
section of Strasburg Road on Maps 4 and 5 of the approved City of Kitchener Municipal Plan. The
alignments will also form the basis for revisions to the Brigadoon Community Plan and the Doon
South Community Plan which also conceptually illustrate Robert Ferrie Drive on various maps and
schedules.
February 2014 1
At the Pre-Submission Consultation meeting held on June 20, 2013 City of Kitchener Staff identified the
need to consider the impact of Robert Ferrie Drive alternatives on various cultural heritage resources in or
in proximity to the study area, including 500 Stauffer Drive, 271 Reidel Drive, 1798 New Dundee Road and
1990 Fischer Hallman Road. Stauffer Drive and the northern portion of Reidel Drive are designated Scenic
Heritage Roads.These resources are to be considered as part of the evaluation matrix in recommending a
preferred alignment for the westerly extension of Robert Ferrie Drive.
MHBC has been retained to:
1) Research the identified heritage resources within or in proximity to the study area;
2) Review background information related to the identified heritage resources and relevant planning
legislation, policies or guidelines relating to the conservation of cultural heritage resources;and,
3) Assess the impacts of the various alignment alternatives proposed for Robert Ferrie Drive on
identified cultural heritage resources and as input to recommending a preferred alignment
alternative.
This report satisfies items 1 and 2 above. This report provides background history of the study area, a
summary of the significance of the cultural heritage resources that may be impacted by the proposed
alignment alternatives, and contains a review of relevant planning legislation, policy and guidelines. An
assessment of any impacts to the heritage resources will occur following confirmation of the alignment
alternatives and evaluation criteria, following agency and public input to and consideration of the
alignment alternatives and draft evaluation criteria. This approach is consistent with the intent of the
Municipal Class Environmental Assessment.
2.0 Historical Background of Study Area
The following background information summarizes a contextual history of the identified heritage
resources within the broader area. It provides a backdrop to understanding the significance and identified
heritage attributes of the cultural heritage resources within and in proximity to the study area.
Waterloo Township was developed from a tract of land that formed part of 1,214,057 hectares (3,000,000
acres) purchased from the Mississauga first nations in 1784 by Sir Frederick Haldimand, Governor and
Commander-in-Chief of the British forces in North America. In 1791, a tract 19.3 kilometres (12 miles) wide
was surveyed along the Grand River from Lake Erie to where the river originated. These lands along the
Grand River were granted to the Six Nations in recognition of their support of the British during the
American Revolution. The Six Nations leader, Joseph Brant, had the upper half of the tract surveyed into
four blocks in the late 1790s. Block 2,which later became Waterloo Township,was sold by Joseph Brant to
Richard Beasley and his partners in 1796. Legal and financial complications lead to Beasley dividing Block 2
into three parts, the Lower, Middle, and Upper Blocks, in order to expedite the sale of land. Many lots in
the Lower Block were sold in 1800 to both Pennsylvania Mennonite families and non-Mennonite families.
More legal and financial troubles caused Beasley to expedite the sale of additional lands and in 1803, and
an agreement was made for the bulk sale of land to a group of Pennsylvania Mennonites referred to today
as the German Company(Bloomfield 19-22,2006).
February 2014 2
The study area forms part of the Lower Block of Beasley's Tract, in what was once referred to as Beasley's
New Survey and Beihn's Tract. The properties considered within this study are Lot 5 (presently 271 Reidel
Drive) and the east half of Lot 6 (presently 1798 New Dundee Road) and part of Lot 8 (presently 1990
Fischer Hallman Road) in Beasley's New Survey,and Lot 9 in the Beihn's tract(Presently 500 Stauffer Drive).

Left: Map showing remnants of Beasley Tract Surveys. Right: map showing identified heritage properties
within the study area.
Early land owners for the properties are identified in the 1861 Tremain Map of Waterloo Township. Lot 5 of
Beasley's New Survey was owned by James Goodfellow. In the 1851 census for the Township Goodfellow is
identified as a 29-year old farmer from Scotland, married to 25 year old Euphemia. The couple had two
daughters, Helen and Elisabeth.
The east side of Lot 6, Beasley's New Survey, was shown as owned by Mrs. J. Wallace. According to 1851
census records, Mrs. Wallace was married to John Wallace, a farmer. They were from Scotland, and had 4
children: William (6), Elisabeth (5), Janet (3) and Margaret (1). In the 1861 census, Mrs. Wallace (nee
Goodfellow) is listed as a widow and was 36 years of age,and appears to have had six children:William (15)
a labourer, Elizabeth (13),Janet (11), Helen (7), Mary(4) and Margaret (4). It is possible that she was related
to James Goodfellow on the neighbouring Lot 5.
Lot 8 of Beasley's New survey was owned by George Proudfoot, a identified in 1851 census records as a 67
year-old widowed labourer from Scotland. It appears that by 1861, George's son (also named George)
farmed the land.
Lot 9 of the Beihn's Tract was owned by George Hislop, a 32 year old farmer from Scotland. The 1861
census lists George as married to 31 year old Christie (nee Little), also from Scotland, with three children:
Mary(8),John (5) and Elizabeth (2). Members of the Hislop family farmed the property from 1853 to 1906.
Later maps from the ///ustrated Historica/At/as ofWater/oo Countydo not show land ownership. However
the earlier information from the 1861 map and census demonstrate that lands in the study area,
February 2014 3
particularly those with identified heritage resources, were farmed by settlers of Scottish origin, a contrast
from the largely German-based settlement and Mennonite farmers to the north in the German Company
Tract. Settlers in the 19th century practiced mixed agriculture, after the initial years of clearing the land and
subsistence farming had passed.
The layout of a mixed farm was based on the objective of creating a functional working landscape which
created efficiency in crop production and animal husbandry and at the same time established an attractive
home for the farm family. The layout and content of the surrounding fields changed over time with the
farm economy. Farmers with established mixed farming operations produced a variety of grains, hay, beef,
hog, poultry, and livestock, resulting in a distinctive pattern in farm fields and the farm core, including a
collection of buildings and structures such as outbuildings and barns. Each farm typically contained a
woodlot managed for fuel and timber and an orchard.
Farm houses were generally oriented towards the road, with front yards and tree-lined driveways leading
to the farm buildings. Side yards often comprised the domestic areas of the farm core, with ornamental
and vegetable gardens for the family use, and outdoor work areas for domestic activities such as laundry
and food preparation. A well worn path to the side door indicated the day to day entrance to the
farmhouse for family and visitors. The domestic yard typically contained a privy, cistern, well and pump,
and a smokehouse or woodshed separate or attached to the house.
Outbuildings such as storage sheds, hen houses, and implement sheds were arranged around the open
work area. The barns for storage of grain, hay, straw, and farm animals faced usually the open work space.
A fenced barnyard accessible from the ground floor of the barn provided a controlled outdoor space for
beef and dairy cows. The second floor of the barn accessed by a bank was used for storage of straw, grain
and equipment.
3.0 Identification and description of cultural heritage resources within the study area
3.1 500 Stauffer Drive
The property at 500 Stauffer Drive is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act as a Cultural
Heritage Landscape.The property is a 45.7 hectare (112 acre)farm located off Stauffer Drive, north of Reidel
Drive, and west of Caryndale Drive. It is located in the Brigadoon Planning Community of the City of
Kitchener.
The property contains a 19th century one-and-one-half storey stone farm house (with 201h century
additions) a 19th century wooden barn with field stone foundation, a drive shed, and several landscape
features such as an open water pond, cultivated agricultural fields, hedgerows and a mature woodlot.
Some landscape remnants date to the 19th century, while others have evolved with continued use of the
property into the 201h century.
The farm house is thought to have been constructed by 1870 by the Hislop family who owned the
property between 1853-1906. The stone house replaced an earlier frame structure listed in earlier census
records.

3.1.1 Designating By-Law and Reasons for Designation
The property at 500 Stauffer drive was designated as a cultural heritage landscape under Part IV of the
Ontario Heritage Act by the City of Kitchener under by-law 2013-026, March 4t" 2013. The property was
previously included on Heritage Kitchener's Inventory as being of cultural heritage value or interest.
The designating by-law provides that the property at 500 Stauffer Drive has design or physical value
because of the nineteenth century stone farm house that is representative of the Ontario Gothic style of
architecture. Key attributes identified for the stone house include:
• Elements related to the construction of the nineteenth-century farmhouse as a representative
example of the Ontario Gothic Style, including:
- All elevations of the farmhouse,-
- The exterior stone walls of the historic farmhouse, constructed with even-course cut
fieldstone,and including the former exterior walls enclosed in the contemporaryaddition
- The modified cross gable plan
- The roofline, including:
- The plain freize interrupted by exposed rafter ends,and
- The decorated wooden bargeboard in the frontgable peak,
- The historic window and door openings with stone voussoirs and sills, including those in
the former exterior walls enclosed in the con temporaryaddition
- The organization of the front entrance, including the transom and flanking sidelights,
- The sharply-pointed Gothic window opening with cloverleafpanel at the tip,-and,
- The bay window in the front elevation including the moulded freize and scalloped
shinglinq and
• Elements of the contemporary twentieth-century additions, including:
- The use oflocal fieldstone in the construction of the exterior walls,
February 2014 5
The designating by-law also provides that the property has design or physical value because of the barn
and drive shed and their agricultural use. Key elements of the barn and drive shed that are identified to be
heritage attributes include:
• Elements ofthe bam related to its evolving agricultural use, including:
- The north-south orientation and the siting of the original bank barn integrated into a
south-facing slope,-
- The massing of the structure, including subsequent additions but excluding the
woodshed to the east,
- The wood framing and timbers,-
- The field ston e foundation
- The vertical wood sheathing,-
- The cross gable roof, including its metal cladding,.
- The interior spatial organization of the barn including the drive floorand haylofts,
- The tracked doors on the north elevation
- The rack-lifters,and
- The multi pane windows with wooden muntins;and
• Elements of the drive shed, including:
- The massing of the structure,-
- The wood framing,-
- The frontgable roof and,
- The vertical wood sheathing
The designating by-law provides that the property has historical or associative value because it is an intact
agricultural landscape associated with mixed farming practices the developed in Waterloo Township. The
following elements are identified as comprising the cultural heritage landscape:
• The duster of built features, including the farmhouse, barn and drive shed-
The tree-linedgraveldnve with windbreakto west, oriented towards Stauffer Drive,-
• The mature trees in dose proximity to the residence,-
• The cultivated fields, including their rolling topography,
• The open waterpond-
• The hedgerows located in the agricultural field north of the pond and on the west side of the
Property"
• The mature woodlot;
• The spatial organization and functional relationship between buildings and landscape elements,
Including circulation patterns;and,
• Views from the duster of built features to the surrounding landscape elements, including the
cultivated rolling fields, hedgerows and woodlot.
The designating by-law provides that the property has contextual value because it supports the historic
rural and agricultural character of the area and because it is physically and visually linked to Staffer Drive
February 2014 6
and Reidel Drive, both early settlement roads. The key attributes that contribute to the property's
contextual value include:
• The siting and orientation of the farm In relation to the historic settlement roads (Stauffer Drive
and Reidel Drive)and to the formersettlement road on the property's western boundary,
• Views from the property to Stauffer Drive and Reidel Dnve,-
• Views to the property from Stauffer Drive and Reidel Drive,-and
• Views to the propertyfrom the southern portion ofCaryndale Drive.
The complete designating by-law with Statement of Significance and list of Heritage Attributes, with the
City of Kitchener Staff Report and related minutes can be found in Appendix A.
3.2 271 Reidel Drive
The property at 271 Reidel Drive was listed on the City of Kitchener Municipal Heritage Register in January
2009.
The Statement of Significance, prepared for the property by the City of Kitchener identifies the property as
a one and one half storey residence, possibly of frame construction with a central entrance with transom
and sidelights, and decorative wooden brackets and freize at the roofline. It is identified as rare example of
the Ontario Gothic Revival style of architecture.The construction date is estimated c. 1860.
The property has been identified by the City of Kitchener and added to the municipal heritage register for
its design or physical value. The City considers the property to be a rare example of the Ontario Gothic
Revival architectural style. The frame structure with fieldstone foundation contains decorative features
including front entrance with sidelights and transom, denticulated hoodmould, 6/6 pane double hung
window in the gable dormer, wide modillioned frieze complete with several scrolled brackets. The west
woodshed annex constructed of fieldstone is also considered to contribute to the design or physical value
of the property.
The property is also considered by the City of Kitchener to have historic value because of its association
with mixed use farming, and contributes to the understanding of farming in the area since farming was
not prevalent until the mid 20th century. *The 2dh century date is presumed to be an error, as farming was
prevalent in Waterloo Township and the studyarea by the mid-79h century.

3.3 1798 New Dundee Road
The property at 1798 New Dundee Road is listed on the City of Kitchener's Inventory of Historic Buildings.
Information contained in the City of Kitchener Interactive Map provides that the residence consists of a
two and one half storey residence with hipped roof with asphalt shingles, hipped dormer with original 4
pane windows, a terrace at the main entrance supported by pillars and a three bay verandah with hipped
roof. The residence is identified as being of the Georgian Architectural Style, and the estimated
construction date is c. 1870. Only a small portion of 1798 New Dundee Road is within the study area by
virtue of the approved alignment for Strasburg Road.

As requested by City of Kitchener Heritage Planning Staff, MHBC Cultural Heritage staff evaluated the
property at 1798 New Dundee Road to determine its cultural heritage value or interest, using the following
criteria contained in Regulation 9/06 of the Ontario Heritage Act.
February 2014 9
7. The property has design value or physical value because it,
i. is a rare, unique, representative or early example of a style, type, expression material or construction
method,
ii. displaysa high degree of craftsmanship or artisticmerit, or
iii. demonstrates a high degree of technical orscientificachievement.
2. The property has historical value or associative value because it,
i. has direct associations with a theme, event, belief, person activity, organization or institution that is
significant to a community,
ii.yields, or has the potential to yield, information that contributes to an understanding ofa community or
culture, or
iii. demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect, artist, builder, designer or theorist who is
significant to a community.
3. The property has contextual value because it,
i. is important in defining, maintaining or supporting the character ofan area,
ii. is physically, functionally, visually or historically linked to its surroundings, or
is a landmark.
The property was not found to have cultural heritage value or interest. The rationale and evaluation are
outlined below.
Design or physical value
MHBC Cultural Heritage staff undertook a site visit in December 2012 and determined that the property is
representative of a late 19th century-early 20th century vernacular farm residence. It does not represent a
particular architectural style, nor does it demonstrate a high degree of craftsmanship, artistic merit,
technical or scientific achievement. As a result,the building does not demonstrate a high level of design or
physical value.
Historical or associative value
The subject property was likely constructed in the late 19th century,to replace an earlier structure, of which
foundation remnants are visible in the basement.The 1861 Tremaine Map for Waterloo Township lists Mrs.
J. Wallace as the owner of the property. According to census records, Mrs. Wallace was a widow by 1861,
from Scotland,with six children.Census records give her maiden name as Goodfellow,suggesting she may
have been related to the 19th century owners of the neighbouring property at 271 Reidel Drive. Research
did not reveal that the property is associated with groups,events or persons of historic significance.
The agricultural landscape surrounding the house has changed from traditional mixed farming to cash-
crop production of corn, which is done by one farmer over several properties and is no longer associated
with the former farm residence. The property is associated with the theme of 19th century mixed
agriculture, but there are few remnants of the traditional historical agricultural patterns. The house does
not have strong historical or associative values.
February 2014 10
Contextual value
The house is no longer part of a working farm complex, and the land surrounding the house has been
converted to cash-crop farming. The property is no longer representative of the traditional agricultural
pattern that was established in the area in the 19th century, and as such no longer defines, maintains or
supports the character of the area. The property is not a landmark. The property does not have strong
contextual values.
3.4 1990 Fischer-Hallman Road
1990 Fischer Hallman Road is listed on the City of Kitchener's Inventory of Historic Buildings. Information
contained in the City of Kitchener Interactive Map provides that property consists of a large single storey
single family residence in the Gothic Style located in an agricultural farm setting. Substantial alterations
have been made to the residence.The property at 1990 Fischer Hallman Road is located well outside the
study area of the extension of Robert Ferrie Drive.

The property was not found to have cultural heritage value or interest. The rationale and evaluation are
outlined below.
Design or physical value
MHBC Cultural Heritage staff undertook a site visit in December 2012 and determined that the property is
not representative of an architectural style or type, not does it demonstrate a high degree of
craftsmanship, artistic merit or scientific/technical achievement). Substantial alterations (such as the
modification and enlargement of original window openings,the addition of brick cladding to three of the
exterior walls, and the addition of a two-storey wrap around deck) have been made to the property at
1990 Fischer Hallman Road, resulting in the removal of heritage fabric and compromised integrity. Only
one stone facade remains visible, and elements that contribute to architectural style, type or design have
been removed or obscured by brick cladding.The property does not demonstrate a high level of design or
physical value.
Historical or associative value
The subject property was likely constructed in the late 19th century. The 1861 Tremaine Map lists George
Proudfoot as the owner of the property. According to census records, Proudfoot was the son of a Scottish
farmer. Research did not reveal that the property is associated with groups, events or persons of historic
significance.
The agricultural landscape surrounding the house has changed from traditional mixed farming to cash-
crop production of corn, which is done by one farmer over several properties and is no longer associated
with the former farm residence.The house is associated with the theme of 19th century mixed agriculture,
but there are few remnants of the traditional historical agricultural patterns. The house does not have
strong historical or associative values.
Contextual value
The house is no longer part of a working farm complex, and the land surrounding the house has been
converted to cash-crop farming. The property is no longer representative of the traditional agricultural
pattern that was established in the area in the 19th century, and as such no longer defines, maintains or
supports the character of the area. The property is not a landmark. The property does not have strong
contextual values.

3.5 Stauffer Drive Scenic-Heritage Road
Stauffer Drive, between Tilt Drive and Reidel Drive is designated as a Scenic-heritage Road in the City of
Kitchener's Official Plan (April 2009). See Section 3.9 regarding criteria established for designating Scenic-
heritage Roads.
The "Cultural Heritage Assessment Report" (2012) prepared by ASI for the Strasburg Road Extension Class
Environmental Assessment identified the following attributes of Stauffer Drive that "are evocative of its
historic origin":
• Narrow two-lane alignment withoutshoulders;
• Scenic views to surrounding agricultural fields, hills and woodlots,particularly when looking north,-
• Follows the rolling topography;and
• Diverse roadside vegetation particularly on the south side,providing a definite edge to the road.

3.6 Reidel Drive Scenic-Heritage Road
The northernmost portion of Reidel Drive (from Stauffer Drive to the edge of the ESPA) was recommended
for designation as a Scenic-Heritage Road in the Doon South Community Plan (1997 Consolidated 2003)
prepared by the City of Kitchener Development and Technical Services Department. The report
acknowledges that the remainder of Reidel Drive was evaluated and considered for inclusion in the Scenic
Road Network but was discounted due to long-term plans to use Reidel Drive as part of the Strasburg
Road extension.The preferred alignment for Strasburg Road has now shifted west. It is understood that the
City of Kitchener may consider designating the balance of Reidel Drive as a Scenic Heritage Road.
Schedule '13' for the Amendment to the City of Kitchener Municipal Plan (2009), Map 4, identifies Stauffer
Drive and the northern portion of Reidel Drive as Scenic Heritage Roads (See Appendix Q. The existing
City of Kitchener Official Plan (April 2009) lists Reidel Drive as a road under study for potential designation
February 2014 13
as a Scenic-Heritage Road.The second draft of text of the New Official Plan (May 2013) lists Reidel Road as a
street identified as having potential cultural heritage value or interest to be considered as a potential
cultural heritage resource.
Subdivision plans for the Doon South Community provide phasing for development including temporary
upgrades for the southern section of Reidel Drive. Pending the extension of Strasburg Road, Reidel Drive
may be upgraded and used for access purposes.
The "Cultural Heritage Assessment Report" (2012) prepared by ASI for the Strasburg Road Extension Class
Environmental Assessment identified the following attributes of Reidel Drive that "are evocative of its
historic origin":
• Narrow two-lane alignment withoutshoulders;
• Scenic views to surrounding agricultural fields, hills and woodlots;
• Spatial and visual relationship between the road thoroughfare and Blair Creek, and associated
vegetation
• Along parts of the roadscape, diverse vegetation abuts the roadside providing a definite edge to
the road and serves as an effective visual and physical boundary between the surrounding
agricultural fields and the transportation corridor,and
• Follows the undulating topography.
This description of Reidel Road in the ASI report extends beyond the segment recommended for
designation as a Scenic-Heritage Road and includes the entire road between Stauffer Drive and New
Dundee Road.
The Doon South Scenic Road Study identified viewsheds and vistas , but these components did not form
part of the scenic road designation and were not part of the criteria used for designation. The ASI report
identifies views from the road as heritage attributes.

4.0 Summary of relevant legislation, plans and policies
The following section contains a summary of the relevant planning legislation, policies and guidelines that
pertain to the conservation of cultural heritage resources and scenic heritage roads. These documents
provide for the authority and implementation methods of identifying and conserving heritage properties,
and provide guidance on when studied such as Heritage Impact Assessments may be required.
4.1 The Planning Act, Last amended 2011
The Planning Act makes a number of provisions respecting cultural heritage either directly in Section 2 of
the Act or Section 3 respecting policy statements and provincial plans. In Section 2 The Planning Act
outlines 18 spheres of provincial interest, that must be considered by appropriate authorities in the
planning process. One of the intentions of The Planning Act is to "encourage the co-operation and co-
ordination among the various interests. Regarding Cultural Heritage, Subsection 2(d) of the Act provides
that:
The Minister, the council of a municipality, a local board, a planning board and the Municipal
Board, in carrying out their responsibilities under this Act, shall have regard to, among other
matters, matters ofprovincial interest such as,...
(d) the conservation of features of significant architectural, cultural, historical, archaeological
or scientific interest,-
4.2 Provincial Policies Statement,2005
In support of the provincial interest identified in Subsection 2 (d) of the Planning Act, and as provided
for in Section 3, the Province has refined policy guidance for land use planning and development
matters in the Provincial Policy Statement, 2005(PPS). The PPS is "intended to be read in its entirety
and the relevant policy areas are to be applied in each situation". This provides a weighting and
balancing of issues within the planning process. When addressing cultural heritage planning, the PPS
provides for the following:
26 Cultural Heritage and Archaeology
2.6.7 Significant built heritage resources and significant cultural landscapes shall be conserved.
2.6.3 Development and site alteration may be permitted on adjacent lands to protected
heritage property where the proposed development and site alteration has been
evaluated and it has been demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected
heritage propertywill be conserved.
February 2014 16
Mitigative measures and/or alternative development approaches may be required in order
to conserve the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property affected by the
adjacent development orsite alteration.
A number of supporting definitions accompany the PPS that assist in the interpretation of these
cultural heritage management policies, listed alphabetically as follows:
Built heritage resources.- means one or more significant buildings, structures, monuments,
installations or remains associated with architectural, cultural, social,political, economic or military
history and identified as being important to a community. These resources may be identified
through designation or heritage conservation easement under the Ontario Heritage Act, or listed
by local,provincial or federal jurisdictions.
Cultural landscape:means a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been
modified by human activities and is valued bya community. It involves a groupings)of individual
heritage features such as structures, spaces, archaeo%pica/ sites and natural elements, which
together form a significant type of heritage form, distinctive from that of its constituent elements
or parts. Examples may include, but are not limited to, heritage conservation districts designated
under the Ontario Heritage Act- and villages, parks, gardens, battlefields, mainstreets and
neighbourhoods, cemeteries, trailways and industrial complexes of cultural heritage value.
Conserved-means the identification protection use and/or management of cultural heritage and
archaeo%gical resources in such a way that their heritage values, attributes and integrity are
retained. This maybe addressed through a conservation plan or heritage impact assessment.
Heritage Attributes.-means the principal features,characteristics,context and appearance that
contribute to the cultural heritage significance of a protected heritage property.
Protected heritage ,property means real property designated under Parts IV, V or Vl of the
Ontario Heritage Act-heritage conservation easement property under Parts ll or IV of the Ontario
Heritage Act-and property that is the subject of covenant or agreement between the owner ofa
property and a conservation body or level ofgovemment, registered on title and executed with
the primary purpose of preserving, conserving and maintaining a cultural heritage feature or
resource, or pre venting its destruction demolition or loss.
Significant-means...(g)in regard to cultural heritage and archaeology, resources that are valued
for the important contribution they make to our understanding of the history of place, an event,
or a people.
Criteria for determining significance for the resources identified in sections (c)-(g) are
recommended by the Province, but municipal approaches that achieve or exceed the same
objective may also be used.
February 2014 17
While some significant resources may already be identified and inventoried by official sources, the
significance of others can onlybe determined after evaluation.
4.3 Ontario Heritage Act, last amended 2009
The Ontario Heritage Act and the Planning Act are to be considered equally in deliberation of related
matters during the planning process. The Ontario Heritage Act provides the authority and legislative
framework for municipalities to conserve cultural heritage resources. Measures of conservation include
adding properties of cultural heritage value or interest to a Municipal Register or designating significant
heritage properties:
27--(L) The clerk ofa municipalityshall keep a register ofpropertysituated in the municipality that
is ofcultural heritage value or interest.2005, c. 6,s. 75.
Contents of register
7.7 The register kept by the clerk shall list all property situated in the municipality that has been
designated by the municipality or by the Minister under this Part and shall contain with respect to
each property,
(a)a legal description of the property,
(b)the name and address of the owner,and
(c)a statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description
of the heritage attributes of the property.2005, c. 6,s. 75.
Designation by municioa/by/a w
29 7 The council of municipalitymay,, by by-law, designate a property within the municipality
to be of cultural heritage value or interest if,
(a) where criteria for determining whether property is of cultural heritage value or interest have
been prescribed byregulation the property meets the prescribed criteria,.and
(b)the designation is made in accordance with the process set out in this section.2005, c. 6,
s. 77(7).
Regulation 9/06 of the Ontario Heritage Act outlines criteria by which properties are to be evaluated to
determine their significance. Properties may be significant because of their design or physical value,
historical or associative value, or contextual value. A number of sub-criteria are established for each
category.Only one sub-criterion needs to be met for designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.
A review of impacts of the westerly extension of Robert Ferrie Drive using the Integrated Approach
method will use both the HeritageActand the Planning Act.
4.4 The Environmental Assessment Act, last amended 2010
A review of impact of alignments chosen for the extension of Robert Ferrie Drive will be completed under
the Environmental Assessment Act.The purpose of the Environmental Assessment Act is as follows:
February 2014 18
Purpose ofAct
2 The purpose of this Act is the betterment of the people of the whole oranypartof
Ontario byproviding for the protection conservation and wise management in Ontario of
the environment. R.S.O. 7990, c. E.78,s.2
The Act provides definitions of the term "environment"that appears in the above purpose statement. For
the purposes of this report,definitions of"environment" related to cultural heritage resources are as
follows:
(c)the social, economic and cultural conditions that influence the life of humans ora community,
(d)any building,structure,machine or other device or thing made by humans.
3.4.1 Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental Assessments,
1981
In 1981 the Historical Planning and Research Branch of the Ministry of Culture and Recreation (now the
Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport) prepared a document to provide guidelines specifically related to
cultural heritage resources in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment.This document provides an
outline of the components that should be addressed when determining the impact on built and cultural
heritage resources during an Environmental Assessment. The document also provides guidance for
determining the degree of effects on heritage resources, by identifying types of effects (beneficial and
adverse), which may be short or long in duration, site specific or widespread, high or low in physical
impact, reversible or irreversible. The document provides an outline of what phases impacts may occur,
including pre-construction, during construction, post-construction, operation and maintenance, or
reclamation and abandonment.
The document also offers principles to guide mitigation measures, including ones that may be relevant to
the undertaking in the study area:
• The design and alignment of new roadways and service corridors should be in harmony with the
surrounding area,-
• Division of land should be in harmony with the orientation and division of lots characteristic of the
existing pattern in the surrounding area,-
4.5 Regional Official Policies Plan (ROPP),September 2006 Consolidation
The Region of Waterloo Regional Official Policies Plan (ROPP) establishes a framework for public and
private sector decisions regarding land use planning, services, transportation, infrastructure investment
and economic matters within the region for both the immediate and long term. One of the principles of
the overall plan is:
2)It is important to give a high priority to the protection ofheritage resources in their surrounding
context and to minimize the extent to which they are affected by development.
February 2014 19
The ROPP provides a number of policies that encourage area municipalities to establish policies in their
Official Plans to identify or conserve heritage resources. This includes encouraging municipalities to
establish policies for designating properties under the Ontario Heritage Act, and maintain an inventory of
heritage resources that are designated under the Ontario Heritage Actor resources that are considered to
be of cultural,scenic, historical or architectural merit and may be contained on a Municipal Inventory.
Furthermore, the ROPP encourages area municipalities to establish policies that encourage the
conservation of heritage resources in land use and development decisions (6.2.9).
The ROPP also provides policies related to Scenic Heritage Roads within the Region, including the
following:
The Region of Waterloo Official Policies Plan (ROPP) has policies regarding the conservation of identified
regional scenic road corridors.The identified scenic roads in the study area (Stauffer Drive and Reidel Drive)
are Municipal Roads. The ROPP provides guidance to local municipalities on the conservation of scenic
roads as follows:
77.85 Area Municipalities are encouraged to protect the scenic values of roads under their
jurisdiction.
4.6 Regional Municipality of Waterloo Region Official Plan (ROP),2010
The Region of Waterloo's Regional Official Plan (2010) provides guidance for growth and change within
the Region of Waterloo, although The Plan is currently under appeal in its entirety and is before the OMB.
The plan provides policies for the protection of heritage resources in planning and urban development
initiatives (2.D.1 and 3.7). Section 3G of the plan directs area municipalities to identify and conserve
heritage resources:
identification of Cultural Heritage Resources
3.G.7 The Region and Area Municipalities will ensure that cultural heritage resources are
conserved using the provisions of the Heritage Act, the PlanningAct, the
En v7ronmental Assessment Act, the Cemeteries Act and the Municipal Act.
The ROP also directs municipalities to prepare policies regarding the preparation of Heritage Impact
Assessments for cultural heritage resources that may be impacted by development. Policy 3.G.13
provides that:
3.G.73 Area Municipalities will establish policies in their official plans to require the
submission ofa Cultural Heritage lmpactAssessment in support ofa proposed
development that includes or is adjacent to a designated property, or includes a non-
designated resource of cultural heritage value or interest listed on the Municipal
Heritage Register.
Consistent with the Ministry of Ministry of Culture (now the Ministry of Tourism,Sport and Culture)
document"Heritage Resources in the Land Use Planning Process", based on the 2005 PPS,the ROP
outlines the following components to be included in a heritage impact assessment (3.G.17):
February 2014 20
(a)historical research,site analysis and evaluation-
(b)identification of the significance and heritage attributes of the cultural
heritage resource,,
(c)description of the proposed development orsite alteration-
(d)assessment of development or site alteration impacts;
(e)consideration ofalternatives, mitigation and conservation methods;
(0 schedule and reporting structure for implementation and monitoring,,and
(g)a summary statement and conservation recommendations.
As with the ROPP,the ROP encourages municipalities to protect the scenic value ofroads under their
jurisdiction (3.629).
4.7 City of Kitchener Official Plan,2005 (last consolidated 2013)
The City of Kitchener Official Plan provides guidance for the identification and conservation of heritage
resources (Section 5.3). The Plan outlines policies for evaluating and designating significant heritage
properties under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act(5.3,4)and also for listing properties of cultural heritage
value or interest on a municipal register (5.3, 2). Related to development on or near identified cultural
heritage resources,the Plan provides the following guidance:
5.3, 13 Municipal decisions relative to proposed changes to a heritage resource designated under
the Ontario Heritage Act,shall be subject to an onus or presumption generally in favour of
conservation of heritage features.
5.3, 15. Proposals to alter, demolish or erect a structure on a property designated under the
Ontario Heritage Act, listed on the municipal data base ofheritage resources, located adjacent to a
designated or listed property or located within a Heritage Conservation District may be subject to
the City of Kitchener OFFICIAL PLAN Part 2 November 2005 Page 5-6 provision of Heritage Impact
Assessment which must be submitted to City Council for review and approval. The assessment
shall provide a site biography where appropriate, outline the context of the proposal, identifyany
potential impact the proposal may have on the heritage resource, recommend whether the
proposal should proceed and ifso recommend mitigative measures to avoid or lessen any
negative impact on the heritage resource. Where a Heritage Impact Assessment has been
required, the heritage resource concerned would automaticallyreceive temporaryprotection
pending completion of the assessment.Should Council, in consultation with LACAC or other
municipal heritage committees, determine that the proposal to alter, demolish or erect a structure
would detract from, or indirectly impair the character, quality,amenities, or stability of ay heritage
resource, the proposal would be subject to the recommendations of the Heritage Impact
Assessment.
78. In securing extensions to arterial roads and other necessary road improvements in general,
including realignmentand road widening, consideration in favour of the conservation of the
heritage resource shall be given to the impact ofsuch extensions or improvement on heritage
resources, especially on the character ofstreetscapes and major crossroads or intersections.
February 2014 21
The City of Kitchener Official Plan also provides policies for Scenic-Heritage Roads in Section 8.3.3. Streets
and roads within the City of Kitchener may be designated (classified) as Scenic-Heritage Roads if they meet
some or all of the following criteria:
i) They have unique structural, topographic and visual features compared to most other roads in
the municipality,
They have unique abutting vegetation including mature tree cover or enclosure,-
iii) Theyarelocated within orabuta quality woodlotorsignificantenvironmentalarea,-
iv) They function as wildlife corridor,
V) The abutting built environment and cultural landscape or road segment itselfis ofheritage or
historical signifi"cance,-and
V/) Theyare located within an approved or proposed Heritage Conservation District.
Roads designated as Scenic-Heritage Roads have been assessed by the City of Kitchener according to
criteria to evaluate their visual character, including structure, topography, vegetation. This assessment
applies to the road right of way and the immediately adjacent lands, and does not include distant views
and vistas (Section 8.3.3,2).
Designation of Scenic-Heritage roads is restricted to the road right of way, and can apply to rural and
urban roads as well as roads in areas designated in the Regional Official Policies Plan for future urban
development, as well as roads within approved or proposed Heritage Conservation Districts. For areas of
future urban development, recognition will be given to the difference in respect to character of rural and
urban Scenic-Heritage Roads (Section 8.3.3,2).
Prior to designation as the Scenic-Heritage Road,the City of Kitchener will undertake the necessary studies
to identify alternative routes capable of handling or off-loading traffic volumes from the proposed Scenic-
heritage road (Section 8.3.3,5).
The Official Plan stipulates that regular maintenance for the safety for the roadway may be permitted, but
widening or changes to the surface treatment or changes to the abutting lands will be regulated New
roads may be permitted to cross Scenic-Heritage Roads if transportation or traffic studies prepared by the
City have been accepted. In these situations, the road would be subject to a Heritage Impact Assessment
(Section 8.3.3,4).
Corridor specific plans may be prepared for Scenic-Heritage Roads that address land use-plans, tree-
management plans, landscape plans, development controls, traffic studies and urban design guidelines.
Corridor plans may be prepared as part of Heritage Conservation District Plans, Secondary Plans or
Community Plans.These plans may address development controls to retain vistas and viewsheds (Sections
8.3.3, 7 and 8).
The 2009 Official Plan identified Stauffer Drive, between Tilt Drive and Reidel Drive as a Scenic-Heritage
Road. Reidel Drive is identified as a road that was under study for potential designation as a Scenic-
Heritage Road. Reidel Drive is shown as a Scenic Heritage Road on Map 4 of Amendment No.4 to the City
of Kitchener Municipal Plan (By-law No.97-63) approved by Council April 14 1h 1997 (See Appendix Q.
February 2014 22
4.8 Doon South — Brigadoon Transportation Network and Corridor Study, 1994
In 1992, a Terms of Reference was prepared for a Transportation Network Analysis Alignment Study for
Doon South/Brigadoon. The study area was defined by the Conestoga Parkway to the north, Highway 8 to
the east, Highway 401 to the south and Trussler Road to the west. The study reviewed and considered a
series of road network improvements including the need for a west/east/south arterial road. The study
culminated in the completion and approval of the Doon South — Brigadoon Transportation Network and
Corridor Study Report.
The final Doon South — Brigadoon Transportation Network and Corridor Study Report recommended a
system of road network improvements including a west/east/south arterial road connecting New Dundee
Road with the extension of Strasburg Road. The west/east/south arterial road was ultimately approved as
a front lotted collector road and is now known as Robert Ferrie Drive.
At the time the Doon South — Brigadoon Transportation Network and Corridor Study was approved, City
staff were directed to initiate a detailed scenic design study for Tilt,Stauffer, Dodge and Groh Drives and to
incorporate the collector road system into the Kitchener Municipal Plan by way of an amendment to the
plan. Staff were also directed to conduct a detailed Environmental Assessment Study to determine the
precise alignments for all new collector roads including Robert Ferrie Drive.
The study identified alternatives to minimize impact to the heritage area and scenic roads, including Tllt
Drive (designated Scenic Road), Groh Drive,Stauffer Drive, and Reidel Drive (all identified at the time of the
report as potential Scenic Roads). The preferred alternatives of the Doon South-Brigadoon Transportation
Network Corridor Study had the benefit of reducing the total number of crossings at scenic or potential
scenic roads, but in some cases did allow for crossings at Tilt Drive,a designated Scenic Road.
Consistent with City Council's approval of the Doon South — Brigadoon Transportation Network and
Corridor Study, the approval of the Doon South Community Plan provides that the alignment of all
collector roads would be determined in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class
Environmental Assessment Act. An Environmental Assessment Study has not been completed for Robert
Ferrie Drive as a whole including the westerly extension of this road to Strasburg Road.
4.9 Doon South Scenic Roads Study, 1994-1997
A Scenic Roads Study was prepared as part of the Doon South Community Plan.The study recognized that
several of the roads within the Doon South Community had been identified in the City of Kitchener 1994
Municipal Plan as potential scenic roads, including Stauffer Drive, Reidel Drive, Groh Drive, the westerly
portion of Dodge Drive and a portion of Pinnacle Drive.Tilt Drive had already been designated as a Scenic
Road. The scenic roads study was a result of resolutions from Kitchener City Council following the Doon
South — Brigadoon Transportation Network and Corridor study,which reported that potential scenic roads
in the Doon South community may be impacted by future development. The scenic roads study was
February 2014 23
undertaken by the Department of Planning and Development and a committee comprised of the local
Ward Councillor,abutting land owners, major area developers,and interested citizens.
The scenic road study evaluated area roadways using the following criteria:
• Human made/influence elements
- Structural character
- Ditches and banks
- Surface condition/treatment
- Signage
- Telephone/utility poles
- Human/cultural activities
• Vegetation
- Diversity
- Maturity
- Quality of individual specimens
- Structure/edge
- Visual texture and colour
• Landform and relief
- Rolling terrain/undulations of roadway
- Curves/turns in roadway
- Visual quality of terrain
- Vista within right-of-way
- Water(presence and aesthetic value)
• Items of added importance
- ESPAs (presence,size and proximity)
- Resources of heritage significance
- Historical significance of roadway
Higher scores were given to roads with little altering or engineering, naturalized ditches or banks, gravel or
tar and chip surface treatments, less obtrusive signage and utility poles, high recreational or cultural use,
diverse vegetation, mature forests, healthy individual tree specimens, a defined roadside edge of
vegetation, a variety of visual texture and colour, great terrain changes, abundance of turns or curves, high
variety or terrain, vistas within the road right-of-way, the presence and aesthetic value of water features,
proximity to ESPAs, the presence of significant heritage resources, and the historical significance of a
roadway.
Evaluations of the Doon South roadways resulted in recommendations that Tilt Drive, Stauffer Drive, the
upper portion of Groh Drive and the northernmost portion of Reidel Drive be designated as scenic roads,
eventually be closed to vehicular traffic and incorporated into the City's community trail system. It was
recommended that the roads and their vegetation be preserved in their existing state and where
necessary,enhanced through replanting or acquisition of lands immediately abutting the right-of-way.The
study proposed that corridor specific enhancement schemes would be established to address interim road
maintenance, timing for road closures, and identifying areas in need of vegetation enhancement. The
February 2014 24
study identified that the remainder of Reidel Road,south of the ESPA,was considered for evaluation as part
of the scenic road network but was not included due to plans to use Reidel as part of the right-of-way for
the future Strasburg Road extension.
The Scenic Road Study was contained as an appendix in the Doon South Community Plan. Principles to
guide the development of the Doon South Community arose from the Scenic Roads Study and are
outlined in the following section.
4.10 Doon South Community Plan, 1997-Consolidated in 2003
The Doon South Community Plan, released in February 1997, established a set of principles to guide
development in the Doon South Community. Related to Scenic-Roads,these principles include:
6.6 That Reidel Drive, with the exception of that portion designated as part of the Scenic Roads
Community Trail Network and proposed to be dosed to vehicular traffic, shall be reconstructed as a future
southward extension of Strasburg Road and shall be designated as a Secondary Arterial Road with a right
of way of26 metres.
6.8 That portions of Tilt Drive, Stauffer Drive, Groh Drive and Reidel Drive identified on the Land Use
Map as being part of the Scenic Roads Community Trail Network shall be dosed to vehicular traffic and
incorporated into open space system as Community Trails. The closure of these roads will be staged in
sequence with the development of abutting lands and construction of the new collector road network as
identified on the Land Use Map. The staging of such road closures will generally occur in conformity with
sequence and requirements set out in Schedule 7, 'Staging Scenic Road Closures"
6.18 That all planned new road crossings of the Scenic Road Community Trail Network be subject to
specific design studies which recommend mitigative measures such as enhancement plantings, surface
treatment, location of municipal services, maintenance, etc. such studies shall be undertaken by the
development proponent as part of the approval process and will conform to the general
recommendations of the Doon South Scenic Roads Study and Greenspace Management Plan.
Reidel Drive is shown as a Scenic Heritage Road on Map 4 of Amendment No. 4 to the City of Kitchener
Municipal Plan (By-law No.97-63) approved by Council April 14 1h 1997 (See Appendix Q.
The Doon South Community Plan also advises on Heritage Resources, including the following principles:
9.2 That properties listed in the municipal data base of heritage resources and identified on
Schedule 3 Heritage Structures"be subject to policies 5.3.74 and 5.3.75 of the City of Kitchener Municipal
Plan. Accordingly, a Heritage Impact Assessment shall be required to be approved prior to or concurrent
with issuance of draft plan approval in conformity with the City's process dealing with the conservation of
heritage resources within the plan of subdivision process. The required Heritage Impact Assessment shall
be completed in accordance with the City of Kitchener Heritage Impact Assessment Guidelines and will
identifya recommended strategyfor the conservation of the heritage resource.
February 2014 25
Subdivision plans for the Doon South Community (Plan of Subdivision 30T-08203) provide phasing for
development including temporary upgrades for the southern section of Reidel Drive. Pending the
extension of Strasburg Road, Reidel Drive may be upgraded and used for access purposes.
4.11 Brigadoon Community Plan,2004,Amended 2012
The Brigadoon Community Plan, approved by Kitchener City Council in 2004, and the Region of Waterloo
in 2005 (amended in 2012) Identified a number of principles meant to guide the development of the
Bridgadoon Community.
With regards to Scenic Roads and transportation,the plan recommended:
- That Stauffer Drive, designated as a scenic-heritage road on Map 7, shall be dosed to vehicular
traffic and incorporated into the open space system as a community trail. The closure and ultimate
conversion of Stauffer Drive to a community trail may occur following the extension of Strasburg
Road to Reidel Drive and the construction of Street A'between Strasburg Road and Caryndale
Road,.
- That at such time as Stauffer Drive between Caryndale Drive and Strasburg Road is dosed to
vehicular traffic, Caryndale Drive south of Street A'shall be terminated at Stauffer Drive and
reverted to a local road or dosed and conveyed to abutting land owners,
The community plan does not identify principles for cultural heritage resources, other than archaeology,
and the above-mentioned principles that relate to Scenic-Heritage Roads.
4.12 Scenic Road and Special Character Streets Resource Document, Region of Waterloo,
2011
The ScenicRoadandSpecialCharacterSt reetsResourceDocument, prepared by the Region of Waterloo in
December 2011, pertains only to Regional Roads. However, the report may be used by area municipalities
as a reference document when establishing Official Plan Policies. The resource document provides
guidance on identifying scenic character streets and provides criteria by which they are to be determined
(similar to the criteria used to determine Scenic Heritage Roads in the City of Kitchener), including
vegetation, road crossings, landforms/relief, water features, bridges, cultural built environment, cultural
heritage landscapes, traffic and overall context. The resource document also provides guidance for
conserving Scenic Road and Special Character Streets, encouraging the preservation of special or scenic
corridors through policies in community plans or urban design guidelines, by protecting the adjacent and
associated built heritage or archeological resources, and maintaining the attributes and features of the
heritage road or adjacent lands including road width, views, water features,trees, public art and gateways,
lighting, utilities and bridges.

5.0 Conclusion
This Phase 1 analysis report has been prepared to document the identified cultural heritage resources in or
in proximity to the study area. This report provides background history, context, a summary of the
settlement history and a discussion of agricultural patterns that may be related to the heritage resources
within the study area. The report also summarizes the statements of significance and heritage attributes
that have been prepared by the City of Kitchener for the property at 500 Stauffer Drive (designated under
Part IV) of the Ontario HeritageAct)and 271 Reidel Drive (listed on the City of Kitchener Municipal Heritage
