In 2018 and 2019, applications were submitted to the Committee of Adjustment to sever a
portion of the property municipally addressed as 883 Doon Village Roadto create 4 new
lots and 1 retained lot. The applications were approved by the Committee of Adjustment
subject to conditions.A Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA), prepared by MHBC Planning
and dated January 2018, was submitted in support of consent applications B2018-006
through B2018-009. The HIA considered the relocation of a former Hog and Hen House to
the retained lot to facilitate the creation of the 4 new lots. The HIA concluded that the
preferred conservation option for the former Hog and Hen House was to relocate the
structure a short distanced to the retained lot, resulting in maintainingthe historical and
associative relationship of the former Hog and Hen House with the dwelling. The property
owners entered into a Heritage Covenant Agreement under Section 37(1) of the Ontario
Heritage Act. This Agreement was registered on title of the property to secure the owners’
obligation to relocate the former Hog and Hen House. The former Hog and Hen House was
successfully relocated to the retained lands in 2019.
Following the creation of the 4 new lots and the relocation of the former Hog and Hen House,
designating by-law 84-52 was amended by way of by-law 2020-061.The amended by-law
includes a revised legal description of the lands as well as a revised list of heritage attributes.
The by-law identifies the existing dwelling as the primary heritage attribute of the property
and the former Hog and Hen House is identified as a secondary attribute of the property.

Heritage Planning Comments
In reviewing the merits of the application, Heritage Planning staff note the following:
The replacement of the windows and roof to match the existing is in keeping with
Parks Canada’s Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in
Canada, namely Standard 10(b): where character-defining elements are too severely
1 - 6
deteriorated to repair, and where sufficient physical evidence exists, replace them
with new elements that match the forms, materials and detailing of sound versions of
the same elements;
The installation of new doors will not detract from the heritage character of the Coach
House and will facilitate the adaptive re-use of this building;
The works proposed overall will not adversely affect the heritage character of the
Coach Houseor the property as a whole.
In accordance with the Heritage Permit Application form, the approval of an application
under the Ontario Heritage Act shall not be a waiver of any of the provisions of any by-law
of the City of Kitchener or legislation, including but not limited to, the requirements of the
Ontario Building Code and City’s Zoning By-law.
