BACKGROUND: Community Services Department report CSD-14-101 regarding Heritage Permit Application HPA-2014-V-026 which proposed to demolish the existing single detached dwelling at 1112 Doon Village Road was considered by Heritage Kitchener on September 30, 2014. Heritage Kitchener did not make a recommendation to Council. Instead the Committee indicated that more information was required for the proposed new single detached dwelling in order to assess the merits of the proposed demolition. Staff met with the applicant to review and provide comments on the draft elevation drawings for the proposed new single detached dwelling. Staff 3 - 1 also met with the neighbourhood representative to review and receive comments on the draft elevation drawings. Comments from staff and the neighbourhood representative were shared with the applicant prior to submission of a Heritage Permit Application to construct a new single detached dwelling. The applicant accepted the majority of comments and accordingly made revisions to the application. The Community Services Department is now in receipt of Heritage Permit Application HPA- 2014-V-029 which is seeking permission to construct a new single detached dwelling at the property municipally addressed as 1112 Doon Village Road. a r f 0 74 � 108 m d �uN O „ n 01 a� /G mm P o� wY�LLAIb > %%%%///%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%//////////////////////////////// ,.; /%%llllllll///////////////////////////DD//DODDD//r .. ------- --------------______________ ______. ---------............. REPORT: The subject property is located on the north side of Doon Village Road between Tilt Drive and Oregon Drive within the Upper Doon Heritage Conservation District, which is designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act. The subject property contains non-historic buildings. The Upper Doon Heritage Conservation District Plan contains policies for demolitions of non-historic buildings and policies for the construction of new buildings. Proposed Demolition of Single Detached Dwelling, Attached Garage and Sheds The Upper Doon Heritage Conservation District Plan contains 1 policy that must be considered when the demolition of non-historic buildings is proposed. The policy indicates that: "Where there are few or no complementary architectural or historical features there will not be a presumption against demolition or building face lift. Where the building detracts from the overall streetscape composition additional building will be encouraged to reflect better the tone of the historic district." The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing single detached dwelling, attached garage and two sheds. The single detached dwelling was built in 1952 and the attached garage was built in 1976. The construction date for the shed is unknown. The single detached dwelling is a one-and-a- half storey building with a one storey addition and attached garage located on the back corner of 3 - 2 the east elevation. The single detached dwelling and attached garage are clad in both brown and white aluminum siding and feature a steel front door, vinyl windows and an asphalt roof. The design of the single detached dwelling is typical of post-war housing but not typical of Upper Doon. The shed is a small structure with a gable roof. The applicant provided the following information to support the request for demolition: • a new single detached dwelling will provide the opportunity to design a building that better reflects the policies of the Upper Doon Heritage Conservation District Plan; • the foundation of the existing single detached dwelling does not have weeping tile resulting in basement flooding, which could lead to mould and potential health concerns for inhabitants of the building; • the existing single detached dwelling is cold and increasing the insulation is costly; • the existing single detached dwelling requires costly repairs to the floors, walls and ceilings; • the existing single detached dwelling requires updates to the kitchen, bathrooms and floors; • the cost to fix the foundation, increase the insulation, repair and update the interior is not feasible; and, • the subject property contains non-historic buildings with poor design that detracts from the character of Upper Doon and Doon Village Road. Proposed Construction of New Single Detached Dwelling with Attached Garage The Upper Doon Heritage Conservation District Plan contains 8 policies that must be considered when new buildings are proposed. The 8 policies address the proposed height, form, roof, windows, colours, materials, siting, and setback of new buildings, as follows: • height of new buildings shall be similar to the height of the historic building stock; • form of new buildings shall complement the form of the historic vernacular building stock and be varied with consideration given to one and a half and two storey heights, medium to steeply pitched roofs, dormer windows and rear additions and add-ons; • roof pattern shall complement the roof patterns of the historic building stock with an emphasis on medium to steep pitches with dormer windows; • windows shall complement the historic building stock with an emphasis on vertical sash and casement windows; • colours shall be of quiet, subtle, natural shades; • materials appropriate and typical of the district shall be used with an emphasis on natural fabric such as brick, stone and wood as opposed to metals and plastics; • siting shall be in harmony with the physiography of the site with a preference for natural position rather than a standard subdivision approach; and • varied setbacks are encouraged to maintain the natural and organic form of the village. In place of the existing single detached dwelling, the applicant is proposing to build a new 2 storey single detached dwelling. The new single detached dwelling would be setback a minimum of 34 metres (112 feet) from Doon Village Road, which is approximately the midpoint of the existing single detached dwelling at 1084 Doon Village Road and the rear building line of the existing single detached dwelling at 1118 Doon Village Road. The single detached dwelling generally features a square plan. The height of the single detached dwelling would be 10.5 m (34 ft). The new single detached dwelling would be clad primarily in a natural stone on the front elevation (neutral cream colour with light grey accent stones) and a combination of natural stone and stucco on the side and rear elevations. The stucco colour will match the neutral cream colour of the natural stone. The roof would feature a steep pitch clad in asphalt shingles (black 3 - 3 tone colour). Windows are vinyl and either rectangular, segmental or semi-circular in shape and black or dark grey in colour. The window openings on the front elevation will feature a stone surround with keystone detail. The window openings on the side and rear elevations will feature a combination of stone and stucco surrounds with keystone detail. The single detached dwelling will be accessed via a driveway situated in the same location as the existing driveway, leading to two double car garages located on the west (side) elevation. The length of the driveway will increase based on the setback of the house and the overall driveway width may increase. Detailed elevations and specifications are included with the Heritage Permit Application attached as Appendix `A' to this report. The applicant also intends to receive a lot addition from the adjacent property at 1094 Doon Village Road. The purpose of the lot addition is to increase the lot frontage of 1112 Doon Village Road and at the same time reduce the lot frontage of 1094 Doon Village Road. Both lots will meet the minimum lot frontage of 30.48 metres (100 feet) required in the Upper Doon Heritage Conservation District Plan and Zoning By-law. Consideration of the heritage permit for demolition and construction in advance of the severance to facilitate the lot addition is staff's preferred approach. In reviewing the merits of the application, City staff note the following: ■ the subject property is a non-historic building in the Upper Doon Heritage Conservation District; ■ the existing materials are not appropriate and are not typical of the Upper Doon Heritage Conservation District; ■ the existing buildings do not have any complementary architectural or historical features; ■ the existing single detached dwelling does not contribute to the historic streetscape; ■ the design features a 2-storey single detached dwelling with a 1.5-storey side addition located on the east elevation; ■ the generally square visual form of the proposed new building complements the form of building stock located within the district, which also features square 2 storey buildings; ■ the roof patterns feature both hip and gable rooflines, which complement the steeply pitched roof patterns of the historic building stock and other new buildings within the district; ■ the placement, proportion and design (casement windows with divided lights, stone sills and headers) of the majority of windows complements the historic building stock and other new buildings within the district; ■ the use of natural stones and stucco (neutral cream colour) is sympathetic to the quiet and subtle shades found elsewhere within the district; ■ the use of natural stone on the front elevation is in keeping with the District Plan guideline for materials on new buildings; ■ the house is proposed to be setback 37.9 m (124.3 ft) from the paved surface of Doon Village Road, which is located entirely behind the back wall of the house located at 1084 Doon Village Road; and, ■ the significant setback of the single detached dwelling will assist to visually reduce the perception of building height, which at 10.5 m (34 ft) in height is within 1 and 2 metres of other historic and non-historic buildings within the district. As a result, staff are of the opinion that the demolition of the existing single detached dwelling and construction of a new single detached dwelling at 1112 Doon Village Road will not impair or negatively impact the significance of the Upper Doon Heritage Conservation District or the Doon Village Road streetscape. 3 - 4 ALIGNMENT WITH CITY OF KITCHENER STRATEGIC PLAN: The processing of Heritage Permit Applications supports the Quality of Life Community Priority of the City of Kitchener Strategic Plan by helping preserve the community's unique heritage and promoting culture as both an economic driver and a central element of a healthy community.

INTERNAL USE ONLY; Application Number . Application Received; Application Complete: Notice of Receipt: Notice of Decision: 90 Day E)p Date: PROCESS: ❑ Heritage Planning Staff. ❑ Heritage Kitchener ❑Council 3 - 8 APPENDIX 1 i We are proposing to build a new two story single family home on 1112 Doon Village Road.The existing 1 lot at 1112 is substandard in size and lot frontage compared to other lots that make up the character of the Upper Doon Heritage community. Large lots are encouraged.Therefore the owner of 1094 is prepared to sever an approximate 15 metre wide strip as a lot addition to 1112. Removal of this strip will not detract from the lot size of 1094 as the lot is very large and will still be in excess of the minimum frontage and size required for this area. With this new lot size it affords the opportunity to change the existing house which is set quite close to the road and to the one side of the lot. The new house will be set back as far from the road as possible to not impose itself on the street which is desirable for this community.The guideline for the set back that we are utilizing for our house will be no closer than the existing house to the left of 1094, which is 1084 Doon Village and will be no further than the existing home at 1094 Doon village. We are also planning on maintaining the location of the driveway for 1112 Doon village,the only change will be that we will probably extend the length of the driveway to accommodate the set back that we would like.The new home will be approximately 4700sgft in size and will have a 4 car garage set to side that will not be facing the streetscape of Doon Village Road. Therefore the garage wall will be incorporated into the front elevation giving it the appearance that it is part of the livable portion of the dwelling. We added to the garage area a larger window size and added a pitch roof to show that this building could have been an addition to the building, keeping in mind the historical area where they added more structure to increase the size of their homes. I believe that by hiding the garage doors that we are following the guidelines put out in the Doon heritage district, and here are some examples of house in the district with the same concept, pictures (2,7, 9).The front elevation of the home will be built out of stone, neutral tones will be used. Architectural moldings around the windows will give the home some character.The colors selected will uphold the objective of maintaining the natural shades established. You will see with our elevation drawings that we are trying to retain the look of the area with the height of our home with the roof lines. Examples in the area, pictures(1, 3, 6)The house will comply to the zoning height of no more than 34.04 feet in height, and with the setbacks that we are proposing the house will seem much smaller in height than they will actually be. The single story entry way has been designed with the community in mind. Examples in the area of single entry way, pictures(1,2,3) Not only will the architectural style proposed be of an attractive, pleasing design, it will be compatible with the character and identity of the district. 3 - 9 APPENDIX 2 F believe that it is necessary to demolish the property at 1112 Doon Village Road and rebuild a brand new structure for two main reasons. The first is the opportunity to make a better contribution to the principles and direction established for the Upper Doon Heritage community. With the lot addition of a 15 metre wide strip of land from the adjacent property, this lot can be improved to meet the objectives of the heritage district plan. Through redesign and greater setback of the house together with reconfiguration of the yard and landscaping/plantings improved architectural and natural environment elements can be introduced. It would represent a vast improvement over what currently exists. Secondly, the existing property was built around 1956 with a block foundation that has no weeping system in place around the foundation wall.The current owner has gone as far as to install a sump pump in the basement but says that it is still flooding. This water coming from the ground could potential be a health risk, causing heavy moisture in a house hold as everyone knows is a likely cause of mold. An investigation of a spore count would most likely show signs of mold in this house.The house itself in the winter time is very cold according to the current owner.The insulation has not been updated to code at a value today of R22. To bring the insulation value up to par with most houses would require most of the plaster to be removed and put back and this cost would be in the tens of thousands of dollars juts to have proper insulation in this home.The floors are slopping and the walls are not straight and the ceiling is cracking most likely due to an improper foundation base. If we had to remove and try to replace some of the existing work we would be looking at tens of thousands of dollars again to have this corrected the way it should have been done years ago.There are smaller issues with this house I call this smaller because waterproofing the house, insulating the house and fixing the foundation would be the most costly factors in trying to keep this existing house. Most of the interior of the existing home would need to be updated, full kitchen update bathrooms,flooring and many other dated features. Even having a gas line into this house is a must have if you want efficient furnaces and currently it is running on propane. The cost of salvaging the existing home on this property would really add up to a cost that you could never recuperate. You can see that trying to fix up this existing property would not be financially feasible for anyone to do and the property would simply continue to deteriorate. I am sure that most residence that live on this street would appreciate that we are proposing to build a brand new structure that conforms to the heritage guidelines. 3 - 10 APPENDIX 3 The proposed project conforms to Part V of the Upper Doon Heritage Conservation District Plan considering that the home is categorized under the plan as non—historic.This building is not categorized as a historic building (Termed A building) that have importance to the district and have architectural historical value.There are no elements of the existing house deemed to be worthy of preservation. We are proposing to demolish a building that according to the plan would be considered as a poor design and detracts from the heritage and streetscape composition.Therefore according to the district plan the demolition can occur allowing new construction to happen to better reflect the tone established for the area.The Doon Heritage Plan permits demolition if the property is deemed non historic and has no architectural value. If this is the case then redesign is encouraged. In fact the Heritage Plan states, "Where there are few or no complementary architectural or historical features there will not be a presumption against demolition or building face lift".A number of new houses have been built in this community over the past number of years that have fit quite nicely. This proposal will complement that of the newer houses while maintaining the older rural identity.The change in lot size will also assist in providing diversity in property values and family structure. Here are a few features of our home that conforms to Part V of the Upper Doon Heritage Plan: • The lot of 1112 Doon is substandard in size it is around 21.5 meter in frontage and most of the lots around examples are (please see Appendix A,1074, 1062 1122, 1101 and 1121 and there several more) have the minimum lot frontage of 30.48 meters.What we are proposing to sever some of 1094 Doon and adding to 1112 Doon Village,gives the community what they should have in the first place. 1112 Doon will have at least the minimum requirement of 30.48 meter in frontage and 1094 will also at least have the minimum frontage of 30.48 meters. • By us severing the lots you will not also follow what the community already has in place but we are also going to reduce one lane in and out from 1094.You have two driveways going in and out on 1094 Doon village and the one will be illuminated and this will also follow what the community has in place for the lots around. Now the driveway forZ112 Doon village will remain at the same location that it is currently in, they only change will be the length of the driveway will mostly likely be increase to accommodate the setbacks that we are proposing. • The setbacks that we are proposing are what is encouraged in the Doon district and we are proposing to be no closer than 1084 Doon Village road and no further than 1094 Doon village. • The lots themselves will be oversized compare to some of the lots around meaning we have more than the required lot frontage once we sever 1094 and add to 1112. What this means is the house size are proportional to the lot size that we are working with. With these oversize lots you can build a slightly larger home. • The house heights are going to conform to the zoning requirements for the area. We are proposing what is already in the community a two story home.The roof peaks mimic other properties also found in the Doon village pictures 1, 3, 5 and especially 6. We also need to keep in mind that with our houses potentially set back further than most houses on the street, they will seem much smaller in height than they actually will be when standing at the street. 3 - 11 • The material of the home will follow suite of what is already in the Doon village community such a stone.The front of the house will be built all out of stone and the colors will be neutral and samples will be provided to the city beforehand. Pictures 2, 4 of other homes with stone fronts. The casing around the windows will provide some architectural detail that is also seen in the community. Picture#1 • The single story entry way follows what is already in place in the community. Pictures 2, 5, 7 • The garage placement was based on what I had seen in multiple examples in the Doon Village area. Pictures showing examples of garages on the side 2, 7,9 and 10. 1 also followed the example in picture 7 where the garage is on the side and they used a different window to show that it is different from the main house and also the pitch roof above. It is all very similar to what I am proposing and have done on our elevations. I am including several pictures(please look on both sides since I have pictures on both sides of the paper) of homes in the community so that you can see where we have followed what the area has and have conformed to what the Doon Heritage community would like to see in their district. 3 - 12 APPENDIX 4 The proposed demolition and the addition of a new construction are consistent with the Parks Canada Standards and Guidelines for Historic places. According to these Federal Standards and Guidelines, Heritage Districts are governed by municipal by-laws complement by the guidelines to protect heritage value. Again, under the Upper Doon Heritage Conservation District Plan the existing home is categorized as non—historic and not part of the Termed A buildings that are of historical value.The home would be considered of poor design and has no architectural relevance.A representative from the City Heritage Division has also walked the site and looked over the home/site and confirmed this status. Since the existing house has no heritage value then then Federal standards do not need to be applied concerning its preservation or retention of any of its features. Federal standards will be observed concerning land use and landscape. In conjunction with the municipal district plan a greater lot size is being provided, a greater setback from the street will be implemented and the overall Upper Doon landscape will be preserved. Therefore on that note what we are proposing demolition of the existing home and replacing it with a newly constructed home that will follow the guidelines put in place for the Upper Doon a Heritage Conservation District Plan, which is consistent with the Parks Canada Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic places in Canada. 3 - 13 V-1 Lr: r c r i� I 1 rQ I .. n w Q N { 0. i k ....

The colour shades might be slightly darker or lighter depending on what products can be sourced out. • Natural stone will be used throughout the front elevation and where ever we indicated on the four sided elevation stone. The stone colour is a neutral cream colour with some light grey accent stones. Please refer to Appendix D • A neutral Stone color same as in Appendix D will be used to case the window surrounds.These will only be in stone where I have a stone wall, everywhere else if the wall is stucco the window casing will be in stucco. Colours will all have to match the stone. • The sides of the house have a mix of stone and stucco. The stucco colour will be matching the stone colour as best as possible. • The shingles used will be an asphalt shingle in a black tone for colour. • Windows will be in vinyl and will be in a black tone to dark grey tone in color. Example again is Appendix D. Tree preservation • See Appendix B and 131 outlining trees that will be kept to not interfere with the streetscape. Driveway and Setbacks: • The driveway to the house will remain at its existing location but will probably extend through the property according to the house set back. It might also slight increase in width. See Appendix C . • Set back will be a minimum of 112' from the road. Exact location will be determined once the soils test and the engineering are completed to determine Septic bed location. 3 - 32 -i e �j .5 « - / - / - <vx I } � ) .

PROCESS: El HeritagePlanning Staff Q Heritage Kitchener,, OCouricil 3 - 44 ti APPENDIX 1 We are proposing to build a new two story single family home on 1112 Doon Village Road.The existing lot at 1112 is substandard in size and lot frontage compared to other lots that make up the character of the Upper Doon Heritage community. Large lots are encouraged.Therefore the owner of 1094 is prepared to sever an approximate 14 metre wide strip as a lot addition to 1112. Removal of this strip will not detract from the lot size of 1094 as the lot is very large and will still be in excess of the minimum frontage and size required for this area.With this new lot size it affords the opportunity to change the existing house which is set quite close to the road and to the one side of the lot.The new house will be set back as far from the road as possible to not impose itself on the street which is desirable for this community. The new home will be approximately 4700sgft in size and will have a 4 car garage set to side that will not be facing the streetscape of Doon Village Road. Therefore the garage wall will be incorporated into the front elevation giving it the appearance that it is part of the livable portion of the dwelling.The front elevation of the home will be mainly built out of stone(greyish colors will be used ) some stucco also greyish tones will be used to create some architectural moldings around windows that should give the home some character that otherwise stone cannot do.The colors selected will uphold the objective of maintaining the natural shades established. We are also implementing a front porch to the home another feature to enhance the streetscape's historical charm. You will see with our elevation drawings that we are trying to retain the look of the area with the height of our home with the roof lines, the garage door not visible to the main road and even the use of materials and neutral colors should complement the neighborhood. Not only will the architectural style proposed be of an attractive, pleasing design, it will be compatible with the character and identity of the district. 3 - 45 ..,E APPENDIX 2 I believe that it is necessary to demolish the property at 1112 Doon Village Road and rebuild a brand new structure for two main reasons. The first is the opportunity to make a better contribution to the principles and direction established for the Upper Doon Heritage community.With the lot addition of a 14 metre wide strip of land from the adjacent property, this lot can be improved to meet the objectives of the heritage district plan.Through redesign and greater setback of the house together with reconfiguration of the yard and landscaping/plantings improved architectural and natural environment elements can be introduced. It would represent a vast improvement over what currently exists. Secondly,the existing property was built around 1956 with a block foundation that has no weeping system in place around the foundation wall.The current owner has gone as far as to install a sump pump in the basement but says that it is still flooding.This water coming from the ground could potential be a health risk, causing heavy moisture in a house hold as everyone knows is a likely cause of mold.An investigation of a spore count would most likely show signs of mold in this house.The house itself in the winter time is very cold according to the current owner.The insulation has not been updated to code at a value today of R22.To bring the insulation value up to par with most houses would require most of the plaster to be removed and put back and this cost would be in the tens of thousands of dollars juts to have proper insulation in this home.The floors are slopping and the walls are not straight and the ceiling is cracking most likely due to an improper foundation base. If we had to remove and try to replace some of the existing work we would be looking at tens of thousands of dollars again to have this corrected the way it should have been done years ago.There are smaller issues with this house I tali this smaller because waterproofing the house, insulating the house and fixing the foundation would be the most costly factors in trying to keep this existing house. Most of the interior of the existing home would need to be updated,full kitchen update bathrooms,flooring and many other dated features. Even having a gas line into this house is a must have if you want efficient furnaces and currently it is running on propane. The cost of salvaging the existing home on this property would really add up to a cost that you could never recuperate.You can see that trying to fix up this existing property would not be financially feasible for anyone to do and the property would simply continue to deteriorate. I am sure that most residence that live on this street would appreciate that we are proposing to build a brand new structure that conforms to the heritage guidelines. 3 - 46 i i APPENDIX 3 The proposed project conforms to Part V of the Upper Doon Heritage Conservation District Plan considering that the home is categorized under the plan as non—historic.This building is not categorized as a historic building(Termed A building) that have importance to the district and have architectural historical value.There are no elements of the existing house deemed to be worthy of preservation. We are proposing to demolish a building that according to the plan would be considered as a poor design and detracts from the heritage and streetscape composition.Therefore according to the district plan the demolition can occur allowing new construction to happen to better reflect the tone established for the area.The Doon Heritage Plan permits demolition if the property is deemed non historic and has no architectural value. If this is the case then redesign is encouraged. In fact the Heritage Plan states, "Where there are few or no complementary architectural or historical features there will not be a presumption against demolition or building face lift".A number of new houses have been built in this community over the past number of years that have fit quite nicely.This proposal will complement that of the newer houses while maintaining the older rural identity.The change in lot size will also assist in providing diversity in property values and family structure. 3 - 47 i I APPENDIX 4 The proposed demolition and the addition of a new construction are consistent with the Parks Canada Standards and Guidelines for Historic places. According to these Federal Standards and Guidelines, Heritage Districts are governed by municipal by-laws complement by the guidelines to protect heritage value. Again, under the Upper Doon Heritage Conservation District Plan the existing home is categorized as non—historic and not part of the Termed A buildings that are of historical value.The home would be considered of poor design and has no architectural relevance.A representative from the City Heritage Division has also walked the site and looked over the home/site and confirmed this status. Since the existing house has no heritage value then then Federal standards do not need to be applied concerning its preservation or retention of any of its features. Federal standards will be observed concerning land use and landscape. In conjunction with the municipal district plan a greater lot size is being provided, a greater setback from the street will be implemented and the overall Upper Doon landscape will be preserved. Therefore on that note what we are proposing demolition of the existing home and replacing it with a newly constructed home that will follow the guidelines put in place for the Upper Doon a Heritage Conservation District Plan, which is consistent with the Parks Canada Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic places in Canada. 3 - 48
