Mr. L. COUNCIL MINUTES APRIL 13, 2015 -61- CITY OF KITCHENER Bensason, Co- ordinator, Cultural Heritage Planning, presented the report, advising the Diocese of Hamilton has provided written confirmation they will be withdrawing the application to demolish the former convent at Sacred Heart Church. He stated the withdrawal of the demolition application is meant to provide the Diocese and the City time to find a solution that would address the needs of the Diocese while conserving the former convent building. He indicated staff had previously proposed to the Diocese that if they withdrew the demolition application, then in an act of good faith City staff would abandon the immediate efforts to designate the Sacred Heart Church property. He added staff is of the opinion this approach is preferred and will assist in building a positive working relationship with the Diocese moving forward. He continues to believe this building has good potential for adaptive re -use and is encouraged by the responses received from Joe Mancini of The Working Centre and the Regional Director of Housing Services, both of whom expressed an interest in possibly using the building and the potential of this site for affordable and supportive housing options. Mr. Bensason outlined that as a result and in light of this new information, notwithstanding the recommendation made in Report CSD 15 -041, Heritage Planning staff are now recommending Council take no action on the recommendation to publish a notice of intention to designate. In response to questions, Mr. Bensason advised this approach would still enable City Council to consider a heritage designation at some point in the future, including a designation in response to another application to demolish, should there be such a situation. Bishop Douglas Crosby, the Diocese of Hamilton, addressed Council confirming the Diocese has withdrawn its demolition permit application for the subject property. He advised the convent has not been used for that purpose for nearly 30 years, adding the building condition assessment identified it as being in a great state of disrepair. He indicated that Sacred Heart Church only has seven parking spaces and requires additional parking to accommodate parishioners. He noted while he would oppose any future attempts to designate the subject property, he looks forward to working with the City to find a solution to this matter. Ms. Kay Elgie, Architectural Conservancy of Ontario — North Waterloo Branch, addressed Council in support of the proposed designation of 79 Moore Avenue and 54 -68 Shanley Street as being of cultural heritage value and interest. She submitted a proposal to accommodate the addition of 20 parking spaces to the subject property without demolishing the convent. Mr. Patrick Kraemer circulated correspondence to Council, which outlines his support for the designation of 79 Moore Avenue and 54 -68 Shanley Street. He noted as an area resident it would be a significant loss to the community if this building was permitted to be demolished. Ms. Charlotte Woodley expressed her support of the preservation of 79 Moore Avenue and 54 -68 Shanley Street through designation under the Ontario Heritage Act. In response to questions, Mr. M. May, Deputy CAO — Community Services, agreed staff would endeavor to work with the Diocese to explore the parking issues related to the subject site. Moved by Councillor S.
