Due to the nature of the associated development, this Heritage Impact Assessment begun with a Stage 1 HIA which resulted in the creation of this Stage 2 report to address the new design, proposed impacts and mitigation strategies. In this ammended report, the proposed design has been reviewed for its potential impacts, possible alternatives and mitigative strategies.In our research, both archival and primary, we have validated that the original building relevent within the community. In this report we have balanced the desire to respect history, with the need to address contemporary concerns by establishing design guidelines that can meaninfully incoporate the existing building fabric within a new context and in relationship with new buildings. Preserving the architectural history of this building is important to the historic fabric of the Warehouse district in Kitchener, thus the proposed redevelopment will help maintain its most essential features by maintaining and restoring both the exterior and interior of the original house.

Any new building adjacent to the Kaufman House should be contemporary as per for the surrounding fabric added in 1969. This work has been completed and the development team has obtained a permit to complete this work in April 2017. The Stage 2 HIA focuses primarily on Part 4.0 which describes the proposed development and its impacts, considered alternatives, recommendations and next steps. Following this Stage 2 to the Heritage Impact Assessment, the City of Kitchener also requires the completion of a Conservation Plan to outline short, medium and long term strategies to secure and maintain the heritage asset.

A Stage 1 Report was completed initially to eval proposed development on the cultural heritage of the 621 King Street West This early work was to provide the design team with a strategy and approach to both the restoration and adaptation of the cultural resources on the site through design process. Additionally, this work has been used to provide a retention strategy of the Kaufman house, priort to additions in the 1960s. Historical analysis, design recommendations and coordination are required to address both the existing property and the resulting impact of the proposed alteration and construction following the City of Kitcheners planning requirements and the Ontario Heritage Act.The Stage 2 of this report has been created to evaluate the impacts of the proposed design of adjacent buildings, This recommendation will be based on a thorough development site and identify the impact of the proposed development on its status as a cultural heritage resource. In the report, both conservation and mitigation options will be considered, where appropriate, in order to propose the development which best conserves, adapts and adds to its existing cultural resources. The adaptation strategy will apply conservation principles balanced with new construction techniques to mitigate any potential negative impacts to both the original structure and decorative features. A balanced approach to conservation and adaptation will guide the development design in all areas. The adaptive reuse strategy recommendations design phases in order to inform decisions and direct the 621 King Street Wests re-development throughout the process. mccallumsatherpage vi background rst hand analysis of the site c achievement? nish, craftsmanship/details noteworthy? or type?method of construction?merits of design, composition, craftsmanship or details?

Conservation and Adaptation: If the questions regarding the design or physical value, contextual value and integrity have indicated that the building is of interest, the following questions should also be answered regarding any future development: What physical or referential aspects of the building are most crucial to maintain What is the structural condition of the building? What are the mechanical and electrical conditions? What services need to be What are the opportunities to make the building more accessible to the public? background 1.3 CONTACT INFORMATION Project Director: WalterFedy 675 Queen St. S., Suite 111Kitchener, ON N2M 1A1T 519.576.2150 Roger Farwell (rfarwell@walterfedy.com) Jason Chang (jchang@walterfedy.com)Heri tage Architect: McCallum Sather 157 Catharine St. NHamilton, ON L8L 4S4T. 905.526.6700F. 905.526.0906 Drew Hauser (drewh@mccaluumsather.com) Christina Karney (christinak@msarch.ca)Urban Planning: GSP Group Inc 72 Victoria Street South, Suite 201Kitchener, ON N2G 4Y9519 569 8883 Chris Pidgeon (cpidgeon@gspgroup.ca) Heather Holbrook (hholbrook@gspgroup.ca) - hia stage II 621 King Street West 404 & 410 King Street E• 1908 - Kaufman Rubber Factory• 1920 - Kaufman Footwear• 2006 - Kaufman Lofts w e i V c i r o t s i H HISTORIC SITE RELATIONSHIPS T E E R T 621 King Street W.• 1897 - Kaufman House is constructed• 1928 - Converted to Funeral Home• 1969 - Funeral Home Additions S G N I K mccallumsatherpage 4 page 5 architecture 13 rst cant in relation to the 2.1 CONTEXT development and growth of Berlin/Kitcheners Rubber and shoe making industry, the philanthropic and technical innovation of the Kaufman family (Jacob and Alvin Ratz Kaufman), and the hardworking German community in establishing Berlin / Kitchener as an industrial centre. Jacob S. Kaufman was born July 15, 1847 on a farm near New Hamburg, Ontario. He started his career in the lumber industry in Gadshill and married Mary Ratz in 1877 where they moved to Berlin where the larger community more opportunity for this aggressive, pioneering manufacturer. He built a mill for the manufacture of doors and window sash, and eventually incorporated this company as Jacob Kaufman Limited. Between 1899 and 1905 he was instrumental in the development The Berlin Rubber Company, Merchant's Rubber Company (which was absorbed by the Canadian Consolidated Rubber Company in 1907). In 1908, Jacob Kaufman established and built the Kaufman Rubber Company which was directed by his son, Alvin R. Kaufman. When the manufacturing facility opened for production in 1908 with 350 employees, products consisted of a variety of rubber footwear for the Canadian trade and for export to England, Australia, New Zealand and other countries. As production grew, the building expanded in 1911, 1920 and again in 1925 covering an entire city block and then employing some 700 employees.In addition to his intense activity in manufacturing, he was conscious of civic responsibilities being a member of the Water Commission, a member of the Light Commission and the donor of a grant to the Twin Cities in 1920 to build the original nurses' residence of the K-W hospital. - hia stage II Jacob Kaufman 1847-1920 (http:// Alvin Ratz Kaufman 1885-1979 (http:// Mary Ratz Kaufman 1856- 621 King Street West 2 Image Reference: 2.1.1 www.waterlooregionmuseum.com/media/1334/kaufman-jacob-s.jpg) 2.1.2 www.waterlooregionmuseum.com/media/1334/kaufman-jacob-s.jpg) 2.13 1943 (http://www.therecord.com/news-story/7 018571-mary-kaufman-formidable-woman-shaped-many-local-institutions/) PROPOSED SITE:621 King Street W.(Kaufman House / Ratz-Betchel Funeral Home BUILT HERITAGE RESOURCES MAP FROM PARTS mccallumsatherpage 6 page 7 architecture rst birth control cant ways to the YMCA, YWCA, cation program, introducing new uence, from directing the construction uence on Kitcheners industrial heritage. rst sewage disposal system in Berlin (Jacob Kaufman); to serving 38 years succeeded him as President, having previously managed the Collingwood furniture division.manufacturing and marketing techniques and some of the companys most successful product lines such as the Sorel line of winter sport boots.

Initially, the YWCA operated out of a church owned by Jacob Kaufman. Kaufman continued as president of the board until 1914 and worked to raise funds so that the YWCA could purchase their own building. In 1915 this dream became a reality funds donated by Kaufman and her son Alvin. After Jacob Kaufmans death in 1920, his son Alvin Ratz (A.R.)

The façade of the building has carved lions on the turret section. Much of the moldings are preserved throughout the building. Other original features include a service bell, a beautiful stained glass window, the original hand-carved staircase and an eye on his rubber factory down the hill. The Victorian-style residence cost $13, 000 to build, a sum that would have been six times the average home cost at the time. Ratz served as a Kitchener alderman from 1917 to 1925, and was mayor from 1927-1928. In 1927, he formed Ratz-Ashcroft Funeral Service before partnering with Bechtel in 1928. Ratz died in 1954.In 1967, Bechtel sold the business to the Hahn family. During their ownership a chapel was added. In 1970, Richard Cline purchased the business which he later sold to the Loewen Group. A free-standing reception facility was added in the 1980s.

RESPECT FOR ORIGINAL FABRIC:Repair with like materials.Repair to return the resource to its prior condition, without altering its integrity.5. RESPECT FOR THE BUILDING'S HISTORY:Do not restore to one period at the expense of another period.Do not destroy later additions to a house solely to restore to a single time period.6. REVERSIBILITY:Alterations should be able to be returned to original con-ditions. This conserves earlier building design and tech-nique.e.g. When a new door opening is put into a stone wall, the original stones are numbered, removed and stored, allow-ing for future restoration.7. LEGIBILITY:New work should be distinguishable from old.Buildings should be recognized as products of their own time, and new additions should not blur the distinction between old and new.8. MAINTENANCE:With continuous care, future restoration will not be nec-essary.With regular upkeep, major conservation projects and their high costs can be avoided. CONSERVATION PRINCIPLES nishes, except where absolutely necessary. b Eight Guiding Principles in the Conservation of Historic Properties The following guiding principles are ministry statements in the conservation of historic properties and are based on international charters which have been established over the century. These principles provide the basis for all deci-sions concerning good practice in architectural conserva-tion around the world. Principles explain the "why" of every conservation activity and apply to all heritage prop-erties and their surroundings.1. RESPECT FOR DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE:Do not base restoration on conjecture.Conservation work should be based on historic documen-tation such as historic photographs, drawings and physical evidence.2. RESPECT FOR THE ORIGINAL LOCATION:Do not move buildings unless there is no other means to save them.Site is an integral component of a building. Change in site diminishes heritage value considerably.3. RESPECT FOR HISTORIC MATERIAL:Repair/conserve - rather than replace building materials and Minimal intervention maintains the historical content of the resource. Conservation Principles The following guidelines are taken from the Ontario Ministry of Culture Architectural Conservation Notes: mccallumsather page 22 page 23 conservation approach and recommendations cally address the cultural ning the overall heritage es the principles from which cance of Section 3.0. cance of the complex; 1 restore.;integrity of the Kaufman Residence; associations and meaning by making the property relevant and integrated with the community;value of the buildings. building.

Impact of Destruction -No Negative Impact Since the Stage 1 HIA was submitted in spring 2016, a Letter of Intent to Demolish was submitted in September 2016 to request the partial demolition of the 1969 additions from the Ratz Betchel Funeral home. This request was approved with the understanding that a Stage 2 HIA would be submitted to describe in more detail how the Kaufman House would be incorporated within the larger development. At this stage the demolition permit has been granted, and the demolition is scheduled to begin in April 2017. It is the intent of the development team to use this demolition process to inform the proposed details and methods of construction of any future alterations to the building as further investigation of the building can be accommodated easily at The documents submitted for partial demolition clearly illustrate that any openings left as a result of the addition coming down will be enclosed to be aesthetically pleasing ce space, grade-related ects the heritage of the cant features have been maintained - hia stage II the negative impacts of loss of heritage due to demolition have McCallum Sather is working with the design team in order to ensure These imapcts have been minimized by maintaining setbacks from the these impacts have been minimized as site the has been holistically Destruction been limited to partial demolition which have included the newer portions (1969 in the remaining building.

The Site is planned to transform into a high density, commercial uses, structured parking and high quality outdoor amenity spaces. The proposed development will connect the past to the present. It will honour the historical tradition of innovation in this area of the City and contribute to the transformation of the built environment to a contemporary urban setting. It will site, and the Kaufman family as community leaders and city builders. Potential Impacts Kaufman House The legibility of the original Kaufman House along King Street is important. This building has always been a landmark because of its unique associative history as well as in its rich architectural detailing. In determining the impact of the site alterations and proposed development of the building itself, the potential impacts under consideration are the following: Shadows Kaufman HOUSE - IMPACTS OF ALTERATION AND ISOLATION mccallumsather page 28 cance page 29 cant shadow ed areas that can be conservation approach and recommendations cant distance. As the plans develop, more detail will be provided as to how elements will be adapted in future phases of documentation and the Conservation plan (to be provided when applying for a building permit). Shadow Impacts - Some Impacts The sun shadow studies created by Humphreys & Partners Architects show that there will be shadow impacts on the Spring and Fall Equinoxes (March 21st from 2pm to 4pm and September 2st from 2pm to 4pm), minimal impacts on the summer solstice impacts on the Winter Solstice (December 21st all day). With a development at this scale, and with the northern orientation of the Kaufman house, the building is impacted by shadows. However, the impacts as lessened due to the fact that the bulk Isolation Impacts - Minimal Impact While the development has severed the historic connection to the building as a manor house and as a funeral home, we would suggest that these connections have been removed prior to this proposal as the building currently is vacant.

Impact of Proposed Alterations - Minimal Impact / Unknown At this stage where the development team is still in the process of determining the proposed use of the building, the proposed alterations are in a preliminary stage. What is evident from the provided imagery is that the Kaufman House has been made more legible due to the removal of more recent additions which have obscured its original massing and form. Additionally, the entrance shown is compatible to the original building as it creates a clear place of entry true in spirit to the original house, but interpreted with modern materials to clearly distinguish old from new.

The Visual Connections to the Kaufman house from outside the site are also maintained through building setbacks and framed views. Change in Use Impacts - Some / Unknown While the original use of the house will not be maintained, the impact of this change is minimized by the fact that building has been vacant for the previous year.

Architecturally they have reduced the legibility of the original 1897 house with more contemporary additions that are not set back from, or materially distinct. We would recommend that some of the fabric be removed in order to clearly read the original contextual relationships of the house to the surrounding landscape and city. Since the demolition of 1969 additions have been approved, the proposed site design has heeded the recommendation to maintain setbacks on each sideyard, rear setback, and full frontage so that the house can be read more clearly from the street, to reinstate the front entrance, and to ensure that any new buildings that come as result of the new intact.

Short Term: HIA Phase 1, Conservation Plan Phase 1, Documentation and Demolition Submittals -COMPLETE As part of the short term conservation work, the development team have completed documentation including measured drawings, photographs and reports (2017.12.15). This document, the HIA- Stage 1, was read in conjunction with the Letter of Intent to Demolish the 1969 additions. A report was created by Heritage Planners and a presentation was made to the Heritage Sub-Committee (16.11.01) which resulted in approval to proceed with the demolition scope. The recommendation to designate will occur once all the renovations of this development have been completed. Medium Term: HIA Phase 2, Demolition Work and Design Submittals - CURRENT At this time, the design team will be advancing the project and this HIA has be amended in this Stage 2 to respond to the proposed development in terms of the larger moves of a site plan / master plan.

Employing a trusted Integrated Design Process, we offer a range of services which fall under our architectural, mechanical engineering and interiors divisions, including a special focus on heritage consultation with a team of CAHP designated heritage professionals. Our work with Heritage Buildings is rooted in a passion for history and an understanding of the rich cultural value that our built heritage represents. We believe that when the City, heritage planners, community and property owners engage in a thoughtful process, this interaction of perspectives and considerations allows some of the most interesting design solutions to emerge. We work with the owners and stewards of these historic sites to ensure the unique features are preserved and protected. Design decisions must be weighed against measures of livability and sustainability. From the thoughtful preservation of and integration of mechanical systems to the restoration of hardware, these decisions have a cascading impact on the way in which a building functions, as well as the important stories it has to tell. Combining a thorough understanding of both modern and historic techniques, we are able to present thoughtful solutions which help maintain these assets for many years to come.
