the demolition of the existing single detached dwelling and accessory structures, and the
construction of a new single detached dwelling on the property municipally addressed as 1122
Doon Village Road.
Mr. L. Bensason presented the Report advising that the house at 1122 Doon Village Road is
designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act and is not identified as a Group A property
within the Upper Doon Heritage Conservation District Plan and is therefore considered to a be
a non-historic property. He stated that the dwelling the applicant proposes to construct is
generally in line with the existing setbacks and reviewed the merits of the application as
detailed in the Report.
In response to questions from the Committee, Mr. Bensason indicated that the proposed
height of the dwelling, 30 feet, is consistent with a number of new homes approved for
construction in the area. He elaborated that the proposed dwelling will have a larger setback
from the road than the adjacent properties. With regard to tree preservation, Mr. Bensason
stated that there are a number of trees along the existing driveway that will remain unaffected
by the proposed development.
On motion by Ms. E. Rudland -
it was resolved:
"That pursuant to Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act, Heritage Permit Application
HPA-2014-V-006 be approved to permit the demolition of an existing single detached
dwelling and accessory structures, and the construction of a new single detached
dwelling on the property municipally addressed as 1122 Doon Village Road, in

5. CSD-14-062 - HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION HPA 2014-V-009
- 51-53 DAVID STREET
- PROPOSED DEMOLITIONS
The Committee considered Community Services Department report CSD-14-062, dated May
14, 2014 recommending the approval of Heritage Permit Application HPA 2014-V-009 to
permit the demolition of all structures at the property municipally addressed as 51-53 David
Street.
Mr. L. Bensason presented the Report advising that the applicant is proposing to demolish the
1.5 storey residential building at 51 David Street and the 2 storey dwelling at 53 David Street
that were originally constructed in 1890, as well as the garage and shed (c. 1999) in order to
comply with a property standards order that directed the owner to repair the buildings. He
indicated that as a formal application to redevelop the property has not been submitted, the
demolition will result in a vacant lot, and noted that future redevelopment will require the
submission of a Heritage Permit Application and Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA). He stated
that the requirement for an HIA in support of the proposed demolition was waived due to the
recent history of the subject property and a description of the conditions and cost estimate to
repair/replace versus demolish the building was required. He stated that Heritage, Building,
and By-law staff have conducted a visual assessment of the buildings resulting in the
estimation that the proposed repairs and replacements required to conserve the existing
buildings could range from $100,000. to $300,000. more than the costs to demolish and
construct new buildings. Mr. Bensason then reviewed the merits of the application contained

within the Report resulting in the recommendation of approval of the subject application for
demolition of 51-53 David Street.
Concern was expressed from the Committee regarding the condition of the site once the
buildings have been demolished. Mr. Bensason indicated that there is a requirement with a
timeline for applying seed and sod to the property if not redeveloped. He reiterated that any
proposal for redevelopment will require a Heritage Permit Application and may require an HIA
if site plan approval is required. Councillor F. Etherington pointed out that under the property
standards order the City could demolish the structures if the owner does not.
On motion by Councillor F. Etherington -
it was resolved:
"That pursuant to Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act, Heritage Permit Application
HPA-2014-V-009 be approved to permit the demolition of all buildings at the property
municipally addressed as 51-53 David Street."
6. CSD-14-036 - LISTING OF DEFERRED NON-DESIGNATED PROPERTIES OF CULTURAL
HERITAGE VALUE OR INTEREST ON THE MUNICIPAL HERITAGE
REGISTER
-85 QUEEN STREET NORTH AND 61 MADISON AVENUE
The Committee considered the listing of 85 Queen Street North and 61 Madison Avenue on
the Municipal Heritage Register that were deferred at the May 26, 2014 Council meeting.
Mr. L. Bensason addressed the Committee regarding 85 Queen Street North stating that
consideration of listing this property on Municipal Heritage Register was deferred to allow
additional time for the Library Board to receive the information and consider the implications of
listing. He indicated that no concerns have been received and recommended proceeding with
listing 85 Queen Street North on the Municipal Heritage Register.
Mr. Bensason then addressed the Committee regarding listing 61 Madison Avenue on the
Municipal Heritage Register and stated that members were in receipt of the Statement of
Significance for the subject property and noted that staff has met with the property owner and
the Ward Councillor. He indicated that Mr. Neumann was in attendance to address the
Committee in opposition to listing 61 Madison Avenue on the Municipal Heritage Register.
Mr. Neumann addressed the Committee in opposition to listing of his property located at 61
Madison Avenue expressing concerns that the property will become isolated as adjacent
properties are developed. He indicated that there are many properties located on Church
Street which exemplify similar characteristics and yet they have not been listed on the
Municipal Heritage Register. He further expressed concern that the value of his property is
affected by the listing and indicated he would like the Committee to consider not listing 61
Madison Avenue.
Councillor F. Etherington stated that he had met with Mr. Neumann regarding his concerns and
inquired if the properties on Church Street that Mr. Neumann referred to are listed on the
Municipal Heritage Register. Mr. Bensason indicated that Heritage Planning Staff have
identified at least one property as being of cultural heritage value or interest. Mr. Bensason
then agreed to confirm with Mr. Neumann which properties on Church Street have been listed.
On motion by Ms. E. Rudland -
it was resolved:
"That pursuant to Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act the property municipally
addressed as 61 Madison Avenue South be listed on the Municipal Heritage Register as
a non-designated property of cultural heritage value or interest, in accordance with the
respective Statement of Significance attached as Appendix 'A' to Community Services

On motion by Ms. B. Glenn-Graham-
it was resolved:
"That pursuant to Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act the property municipally
addressed as 85 Queen Street North be listed on the Municipal Heritage Register as a
non-designated property of cultural heritage value or interest, in accordance with the
respective Statement of Significance attached as Appendix 'A' to Community Services

7. CSD-14-063 - HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION HPA 2014-V-012 AND HPA 2014-V-015
- 64-66 WEBER STREET WEST AND 96 YOUNG STREET
- ALTERATIONS TO FRONT PORCH
The Committee considered Community Services Department report CSD-14-063, dated May
20, 2014 recommending the refusal of Heritage Permit Applications HPA 2014-V-012 and HPA
2014-V-015 to permit alterations to the front porches at the properties municipally addressed
as 64-66 Weber Street West and 96 Young Street.
Mr. L. Bensason presented the Report advising that there are two separate Heritage Permit
Applications which are similar in nature for both properties. He reviewed the recommendations
for HPA 2014-V-012 for 64-66 Weber Street West and HPA 2014-V-015 for 96 Young Street,
advising that the proposals relate to the installation aluminum and glass front porches and a
second railing behind wood pickets for cosmetic purposes. He stated that both properties are
located in the Civic Centre Heritage Conservation District (CCHCD) and are identified as
Group B examples of the Italianate architectural style. He reviewed the background of the
application as detailed in Report CSD-14-063 and advised that the owner of the properties has
not complied with the applicable regulations to obtain a building permit or conservation
guidelines which require approval of a Heritage Permit Application. He summarized that refusal
of the Heritage Permit Applications is recommended as the alterations to the front porches will
negatively impact the significance of the properties and the integrity of the CCHCD.
Mr. Stephen Litt addressed the Committee in support of the applications, stating that building
permits were obtained for the interior of the 64-66 Weber Street and 96 Young Street which
have since been renovated and comply with fire safety regulations. He stated that as the
original drawings showed the aluminum and glass railings, it was an oversight not to obtain
Heritage Permit approvals and requested that the Committee consider approval of the
applications so that the railings can be installed to ensure life-safety measures at the
residences.
In response to questions from the Committee, Mr. Litt advised that he was not aware that the
subject properties were located in the Heritage Conservation District until the building permit
application process. He indicated that once he became aware of the HPA requirements he
conducted research which demonstrated that 30" glass, as proposed within the application, is
not compliant in Kitchener but is of common use in other large municipalities.
Mr. Bensason responded to further questions from the Committee advising it is the intention of
Heritage Planning staff to continue working with the applicant, with the hope that the applicant
will remove the glass and aluminum railings, and resubmit an application that complies with the
guidelines established in the CCHCD.
On motion by Ms. B. Glenn-Graham-
it was resolved:
"That pursuant to Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act, Heritage Permit Application
HPA-2014-V-012, to permit alterations to the front porch, including the previously
installed aluminum and glass railing along with the installation of a second railing in
behind designed of wood pickets, for cosmetic purposes only, at the property

8. CSD-14-054 - HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION HPA 2014-V-008
- 4 THERESA STREET
- PROPOSED ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS
The Committee considered Community Services Department report CSD-14-054, dated May
15, 2014 recommending the refusal of Heritage Permit Application HPA 2014-V-008 to permit
alterations and additions to the property municipally addressed as 4 Theresa Street. In
addition, the Committee was in receipt this date of correspondence from Mr. S. Litt entitled
`Design Review in Accordance with VPHCD presented by applicant and architect'.
Mr. S. Burrows declared pecuniary interest as he works with the proponent of the subject
application. In addition, Councillor F. Etherington declared pecuniary interest as he owns
property in proximity to the subject lands. Accordingly, neither Mr. Burrows nor Councillor
Etherington took part in any discussion or voting of this matter.
Mr. L. Bensason presented the Report advising that 4 Theresa Street is located within the
Victoria Park Heritage Conservation District (VPHCD), which is designated under Part V of the
Ontario Heritage Act. He advised that the VPHCD provides policies and guidelines for
alterations and additions to properties within the District, and specifically requires heritage
permits for major work which must follow the building conservation policies. He noted that the
subject property is located in E-1 zone in the floodway portion of the floodplain which only
permits existing uses and does not permit a new dwelling without approvals. He reviewed the
proposed major alterations and additions to the existing single detached dwelling and stated
that staff suggests that the proposal is not in compliance with the VPHCD conservation
guidelines, Parks Canada Standards or Ministry of Tourism Culture and Sports' Eight Guiding
Principles in the Conservation of Built Heritage Properties. He noted that additional approvals
would be required for the proposal as the Heritage Permit Application does not represent a
waiver of other approvals, notably a zone change approval as this proposal would be deficient
front yard setback, side yard setbacks, maximum additional building floor area, off-street
parking setback and possibly the minimum parking requirements. He then reviewed the merits
of the application, as detailed in Report CSD-14-054, recommending refusal of Heritage Permit
Application HPA 2014-V-008.
Mr. Stephen Litt addressed the Committee advising that the design iteration has been
completed over a 16 month period with the collaboration of Architects Laird Robertson and
Gabriel Guy, who were in attendance regarding the proposal. He indicated that in his option
the property is on the fringe of the District and is an asset that does not have significant historic
value. He stated that present day forms history and that the proposal is a reflection of the
current building movement in Kitchener. He elaborated that the existing building would be
reused and would not be a demolished within the context of his proposal. He referred to the
circulated documents stating that the proposed structure uses green technology which is
consistent with current building practices and requested that the Committee consider
approving the Heritage Permit Application for 4 Theresa Street.
Mr. Laird Robertson addressed the Committee in support of the application stating he is a
previous member of Heritage Kitchener. He agreed that the proposal is not a minor renovation
and indicated that the proposal is not about compliance but is about the right of a homeowner
to live in the type of residence they select. He indicated that 4 Theresa Street is not a key
historic residence in the VPHCD and sits on the fringe of the District. He elaborated that the

existing dwelling is representative of the latter part of the architectural period and is adjacent to
poorly renovated historic homes. He stated that the proposal represents restructuring of a
historic home on the existing frame with contemporary vision and will illustrate the home in a
contemporary way within the VPHCD without destroying the attributes of the District.
Ms. B. Glenn-Graham commented on the submissions by Messrs. Litt and Robertson stating
that although she has an appreciation for modern architecture and environmental building
practices, the role of the Committee is to protect the attributes of the Heritage Conservation
District. She referred to the circulated correspondence noting that although the delegations
stated that the property is located on the fringe of the VPHCD, the proposal is set on the visual
of Victoria Park. She elaborated that as the proposal will not support the congruence within the
park setting, she cannot support the application.
On motion by-
it was resolved:
"That pursuant to Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act, Heritage Permit Application
HPA-2014-V-008, to permit alterations and additions to the property municipally
addressed as 4 Theresa Street in accordance with the supporting information submitted
with the application, be refused."
9. CSD-14-048 - LISTING OF NON-DESIGNATED PROPERTIES OF CULTURAL
HERITAGE VALUE OR INTEREST ON THE MUNICIPAL HERITAGE
REGISTER
- DEFERRED FROM THE JANUARY 27, 2014 COUNCIL MEETING
The Committee considered Community Services Department report CSD-14-048, dated May
5, 2014 recommending listing various properties on the Municipal Heritage Register.
Mr. L. Bensason presented the Report advising that at the meeting of December 3, 2013,
Heritage Kitchener recommended deferral of 69 Agnes Street; 31 Cedar Street North; 33
Cedar Street North; 35 Cedar Street North; 37 Cedar Street North; 39 Cedar Street North; 41
Cedar Street North; 43 Cedar Street North; 187 Duke Street East. and,189 Duke Street East.
He elaborated that at the meeting of January 27, 2014 Council considered the Heritage
Kitchener recommendations and the owners of 283 Duke Street West and 914 King Street
West requested deferral to provide additional time to consider the implication of listing the
properties. Council resolved all deferrals were to be considered by Heritage Kitchener on or
before June 3, 2014.
Mr. Bill Reitzel addressed the Committee regarding 31 Cedar Street North stating that as a
lifelong resident of Kitchener he is in opposition to listing of the properties as the ramifications
under the Planning Act and Ontario Heritage Act are far reaching and comprehensive. He
stated that Council has voted against listing city-owned properties due to concern of deterring
property investment, such as Centre Block and 48 Ontario Street. He requested that Heritage
Kitchener refuse the recommendation and indicated he does not want a deferral of this matter.
In response to questions, Mr. Bensason stated that with regard to the city-owned properties
mentioned by Mr. Reitzel, 48 Ontario Street North has been listed on the Municipal Heritage
Register.
Mr. Reitzel responded to questions from the Committee advising that Ms. Drake did explain the
process and implications of being listed on the Municipal Heritage Register and the difference
between listing and designation of the property. He confirmed that he has attended the Open
House and has had several meetings with Heritage Planning Staff.
Ms. Elizabeth Gallaher addressed the Committee regarding 31-43 Cedar St and 187-189 Duke
Street advising that as a past member of Heritage Kitchener and a current member of the
Architectural Conservancy of Ontario, the historic value of the properties is identifiable and

requires additional research. She explained the known historic value stating that the houses
are one of four row house developments originally for workers in Kitchener. She requested a
deferral of the recommendation in order to promote dialogue regarding the historic value of the
property to ensure the owners know that listing would not devalue the property.
Mr. Aurel Pauser and Mr. George addressed the Committee regarding 283 Duke Street West
in opposition to listing the property on the Municipal Heritage Register. Mr. Pauser advised that
it is the intent of the owner to redevelop the property in the future, specifically because there is
currently no parking on site and requested that the Committee refuse to list the property so that
renovations and improvements are not impeded.
Mr. Rob Piombini appeared in opposition to listing 914 King Street West on the Municipal
Heritage Register. He stated that he purchased the property in October 2013 and was not
aware of the potential for listing. He commented that as a realtor in the area, stigmatization
such as listing, impedes development. He stated that as King Street will be a major area of
redevelopment, any type of designation will deter development and property value will suffer.
He requested a deferral of listing 914 King Street West until such time as the Light Rail Transit
has been completed and property values have been established.
At the suggestion of the Chair, the properties were voted on separately.
On motion by Councillor F. Etherington -
it was resolved:
"That pursuant to Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act, the following properties be

Ms. Elizabeth Gallaher addressed the Committee in support of listing all the properties,
