These lands are acknowledged as being associated with the following treaties: • The Simcoe Patent- Treaty 4, 1793 • Haldimand Treaty This document takes into consideration the cultural heritage of indigenous communities, including their oral traditions and history when available and related to the scope of work. 4 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON EXECUTIVE SUMMARY MHBC was retained in September zozo by to undertake a Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment (CHIA) for the subject property located at 16-20 Queen Street North. The purpose of this CHIA is to determine the impact of the development on identified heritage attributes of the existing building on the subject property. The proposed development includes the integration of a portion of the existing building (front fagade) into the new construction. This report determined through the evaluation under the prescribed Ontario Regulation 9/66, that the building has significant cultural heritage value or interest. The Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest is included in Sub -section 5.3 of this report. This report concluded that the building on the property is worthy of designation under the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA). Sub -section 8.2 of this report identifies the impacts to identified heritage attributes of the existing cultural heritage resource on the subject land, which includes the retention of the main fagade of the building, which is considered the significant fagade, and integration into a new construction. The following impacts were identified based on this proposal: Adverse Impacts: 1. Moderate impact of destruction of exterior and interior heritage attributes and original mass of the building; z. Moderate impact of land disturbances during construction. As required, this report outlines mitigation measures for the proposed impacts in Section 1o.o. Mitigation Measures: • A Documentation and Salvage should be completed; that will: o Identify interior and exterior heritage attributes and other salvageable building material to be salvaged prior to removal of the building fabric; o Identify method of extraction of heritage building material and outline plan for re -use within new construction including in the community space, as well as possibly in the main lobby/ foyer of the new building; o Measured drawings of elevations identifying existing features and materials and floor plans; o High resolution photographs thoroughly document the building, context, setting, exterior elevations and interior spaces, detailing, finishes and characteristics. • A Conservation Plan should be completed to the satisfaction of the City Staff this Plan will be composed of short, medium and long-term conservation goals. The short/ 5 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON medium term conservation goals will be included in a Temporary Protection Plan which will include: o A Demolition Plan outlining the method of partial demolition (manual, selective demolition); this repot will require a report completed by a certified structural engineer deeming the method feasible and appropriate; o Certification by an engineer that the proposed development will be constructed in a way that will avoid damage to the building fagade; o Stabilization Plan that identifies and prioritizes short term building stabilization requirements necessary to protect and conserve the retained portion of the building including a Risk Management Plan which outlines steps requirements in the event of the damage to the retained facade whether it be partial ortotal loss. • An Interpretation Plan should be completed to the satisfaction of City Staff; this Plan will: o Commemorative/ interpretative signage and/or installation commemorating the portions of the building that have been removed and a historical overview of the property; o It is encourage that the Interpretation Plan be completed in collaboration with local community groups and institutions (i.e. The Museum, the Waterloo Historical Society). It is encouraged that a form and location of commemoration or interpretative installation be part of the Site Plan process to acknowledge the building's significance in the Town of Berlin, now the City of Kitchener. Conservation Recommendations: • Materials, details and ornamentation particularly on the first three levels (pedestrian level) should be sympathetic to the existing building by utilizing a contemporary interpretation of existing architectural articulations (i.e. roofline, mouldings) and materials that do not detract from the existing fagade; glazing intercepted by high quality materials (i.e. stone and brick) are recommended to integrate the existing cultural heritage resource into new buildings; • Signage and lighting of the retained building should emphasis the existing building's prominence along the streetscape and avoid obstructing any views of the front fagade. The retained fagade should be conserved in accordance with the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada. R Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON 7..0 INTRODUCTION MHBC Planning, Urban Design and Landscape Architecture ("MHBC") was retained in September 202o by I to undertake a Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment (CHIA) for the subject property located at i6-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener hereinafter referred to as the "subject lands" (see Appendix `A'). The subject lands include a 3 storey commercial building that was formerly the fourth headquarters of Economical Mutual Fire Insurance of Berlin, now known as "Economical Insurance". The Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment is required by the City of Kitchener as the subject lands are listed on the City's Municipal Heritage Register. This report has been prepared as input to the planning application and development proposal and is based on the scoped HIA Terms of Reference proved by the City. The following is required by the City as part of the scoped HIA: • Assessment of exterior and interior attributes of the building; • Determination of significant facades; • Assessment of the potential impact of the proposed development, and if an impact is identified , recommend mitigative measures to reduce or avoid impact; • Conclusions and recommendations which must confirm to recognized heritage standards, principles and practices; and, • The scope HIA must be completed by a qualified heritage consultant. The above terms of reference were used as the basic framework for this report (see Appendix'F' for Terms of Reference). 7 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON 1.1 DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT LANDS The subject lands are located at 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener (legally described as Pt Lots 2 & 7 W/s Queen St & S/s Weber St PI 4o1 Kitchener; Pt Lt 8 PI 396 Kitchener Pt 2 & 3, 58r2923, S/t & T/w 1384744, Kitchener).

These databases include the City of Kitchener Municipal Heritage Register, the City of Kitchener Official Plan, Waterloo Region Public Building Inventory, the Ontario Heritage Act Register (Ontario Heritage Trust), the Canadian Register of Historic Places (CRHP), and the City of Kitchener Interactive Map. The subject lands are included on the City of Kitchener's Municipal Heritage Register as a'listed' property and was officially listed on the current Municipal Register by Council resolution on September 7, 201o. The building on the subject lands was initially identified as a potential cultural heritage resource in 1978 when it was included in the Ontario Heritage Inventory; the profile in the inventory identified its original use for the Economical Insurance Company and its condition as 'very good' (see Appendix `E' for profile). The building was one of the sites of the 2012 Waterloo Region Doors Open Ontario tour. The subject lands are adjacent (contiguous and non-contiguous) to 'listed' properties including 33 Ontario Street and 15-29 Duke Street East, Kitchener, Ontario.

In Section 2, the Planning Act outlines 18 spheres of provincial interest that must be considered by appropriate authorities in the planning process. Regarding cultural heritage, Subsection z(d) of the Act provides that: The Minister, the council of a municipality, a local board, a planning board and the Municipal Board, in carrying out their responsibilities under this Act, shall have regard to, among other matters, matters of provincial interest such as, ... (d) the conservation of features of significant architectural, cultural, historical, archaeological or scientific interest; The Planning Act therefore provides for the overall broad consideration of cultural heritage resources through the land use planning process. 2.2 PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT (2020) In support of the provincial interest identified in Subsection z (d) of the Planning Act, and as provided for in Section 3, the Province has refined policy guidance for land use planning and development matters in the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 (PPS). The PPS is "intended to be read in its entirety and the relevant policy areas are to be applied in each situation". This provides a weighting and balancing of issues within the planning process. When addressing cultural heritage planning, the PPS provides for the following: 2.6.1 Significant built heritage resources and significant cultural heritage landscapes shall be conserved. 15 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON 2.6.3 Planning authorities shall not permit development and site alteration on adjacent lands to protected heritage property except where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conserved. The PPS defines the following terms Significant: e) in regard to cultural heritage and archaeology, resources that have been determined to have cultural heritage value or interest. Processes and criteria fordetermining cultural heritage value orinterest are established by the Province under the authority of the Ontario Heritage Act. Built Heritage Resource: means a building, structure, monument, installation or any manufactured or constructed part or remnant that contributes to a property's cultural heritage value or interest as identified by a community, including an Indigenous community. Built heritage resources are located on property that may be designated under Parts IV or V of the Ontario Heritage Act, or that may be included on local, provincial, federal and/or international registers. Protected Heritage Property: means property designated under Parts IV, V or VI of the Ontario Heritage Act; property subject to a heritage conservation easement under Parts 11 or IV of the Ontario Heritage Act; property identified by the Province and prescribed public bodies as provincial heritage property under the Standards and Guidelines for Conservation of Provincial Heritage Properties; property protected under federal legislation, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This report evaluates the proposed development on subject land to determine cultural heritage value or interest and overall significance. 2.3 ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT The Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O, 19go, c.o.18 remains the guiding legislation for the conservation of significant cultural heritage resources in Ontario. This HIA has been guided by the criteria provided with Regulation 9/o6 of the Ontario Heritage Act outlines the mechanism for determining cultural heritage value or interest. The regulation sets forth categories of criteria and several sub -criteria. 16 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON 2.4 REGION OF WATERLOO OFFICIAL PLAN Chapter 3, Section 3.G of the Regional Official Plan provides policies regarding the conservation of cultural heritage resources which are related to the scope of this Heritage Impact Assessment as follows: 3. G Cultural Heritage Cultural heritage resources are the inheritance of natural and cultural assets that give people a sense of place, community and personal identity. Continuity with the past promotes creativity and cultural diversity. The region has a rich and diverse heritage, including distinctive cultures, traditions, festivals, artisans and craftspeople, landmarks, landscapes, properties, structures, burial sites, cemeteries, natural features and archaeological resources. These resources provide an important means of defining and confirming a regional identity, enhancing the quality of life of the community, supporting social development and promoting economic prosperity. The Region is committed to the conservation of its cultural heritage. This responsibility is shared with the Federal and Provincial governments, Area Municipalities, othergovernment agencies, the private sector, property owners and the community. Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 3. G.13 Area Municipalities will establish policies in their official plans to require the submission of a Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment in support of a proposed development that includes or is adjacent to a designated property, or includes a non -designated resource of cultural heritage value or interest listed on the Municipal Heritage Register. 3. G.14 Where a Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment required under Policy 3.G.13 relates to a cultural heritage resource of Regional interest, the Area Municipality will ensure that a copy of the assessment is circulated to the Region for review. In this situation, the Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment submitted by the owner/applicant will be completed to the satisfaction of both the Region and the Area Municipality. 3. G.16 the Region will undertake a Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment and consult with the affected Area Municipality and the Regional Heritage Planning 17 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON Advisory Committee prior to planning, designing or altering Regional buildings or infrastructure that may affect a cultural heritage resource listed on the region -wide inventory described in Policy 3.G.y.. The Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment will be reviewed and approved in accordance with the policies in this Plan. 3. G. 17 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment will include, but not be limited to the following: (a) Historical research, site analysis and evaluation; (b) Identification of the significance and heritage attributes of the cultural heritage resource; (c) Description of the proposed development or site alteration,- (d) lteration,(d) Assessment of development or site alteration impacts; (E) Consideration of alternatives, mitigation and conservation methods; (f) Schedule and reporting structure for implementation and monitoring; and (g) A summary statement and conservation recommendations. 3. G.18 Where a Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment required in this Plan relates to a cultural heritage resource of Regional interest, the conservation recommendations will, wherever feasible, aim to conserve cultural heritage resources intact by: (a) recognizing and incorporating heritage resources and their surrounding context into the proposed development in a manner that does not compromise or destroy the heritage resource; (b) protecting and stabilizing built heritage resources that may be underutilized, derelict, or vacant; and (c) designing development to be physically and visually compatible with, and distinguishable from, the heritage resource. 3.G.19 Where it is not feasible to conserve a cultural heritage resource intact in accordance with PolicY3.G.18, the conservation recommendations will: (a) promote the reuse or adaptive reuse of the resource, building, or building elements to preserve the resource and the handiwork of past artisans; and (b) require the owner/applicant to provide measured drawings, a land use history, photographs and other available documentation of the cultural heritage resource in its surrounding context. 3.G.20 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessments may be scoped or waived by the Region or the Area Municipality as applicable. W Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON 2.5 CITY OF KITCHENER OFFICIAL PLAN Section 12 of the Kitchener Official Plan (2014) provides the following policies regarding the conservation of cultural heritage resources as it relates to the scope of this Heritage Impact Assessment as follows: Objectives 12.1.1. To conserve the city's cultural heritage resources through their identification, protection, use and/or management in such a way that their heritage values, attributes and integrity are retained. 12.1.2. To ensure that all development or redevelopment and site alteration is sensitive to and respects cultural heritage resources and that cultural heritage resources are conserved. Section 12. C. 1.19 states that in order to ensure conservation of the City's cultural heritage resources the City uses covenants and easements under the OHA as well as by-laws and agreements pursuant to the Planning Act. This Heritage Impact Assessment is required by the City as the proposed development has potential to impact a cultural heritage resource on a property listed as non- designated on the Municipal Heritage Register (in accordance with Section 12. C. 1.2.3. (c) of the Official Plan). A Heritage Impact Assessment must be prepared by a qualified person in accordance with the minimum requirements outlined in the City's Terms of Reference for HIAs (Section 12.C.1.25). To ensure design/ integration of cultural heritage resources into development the City will prepare guidelines within an Urban Design Manual to conserve contextual value in areas in which the cultural heritage resources are located (Section 12.C.1.4.6). In addition to this, other policies are in place such as, 12.C.1-47. The City may require architectural design guidelines to guide development, redevelopment and site alteration on, adjacent to, or in close proximity to properties designated under the Ontario Heritage Act or other cultural heritage resources. This report is written within the framework of these policies to ensure compliance as it relates to the proposed development on the subject lands at 16-20 Queen Street North, City of Kitchener. w Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON 2.6 CITY OF KITCHENER CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPE STUDY (2014) The City of Kitchener publically made available a cultural heritage landscape study in December Of 2014. This purpose of this study is defined as follows, "to provide a working inventory of the City of Kitchener's cultural heritage landscapes which will serve as a planning tool in the assessment and management of these resources as the community changes to evolve." The subject lands are within the Downtown CHL (L -COM -2). This CHIA acknowledges the Downtown Cultural Heritage Landscape Study to the extent that it applies to the redevelopment of the subject lands. 20 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON 3. O BACKGROUND HISTORICAL CONTEXT 3.1 FIRST NATIONS RESEARCH & The Region of Waterloo is located on the Haldimand Tract, which on October 25, 1784, after the American Revolutionary War of Independence, was part of the 950, 000 acres granted to the Six Nations of the Grand River and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This grant was compensation for their role in the war and the loss of their traditional lands in New York (Wilfrid Laurier University, 2020). The City of Kitchener is included in the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishnawbe and Haudenosaunee peoples. The Haudenosaunee People also known as 'Six Nations' and Iroquois' were nations included in the Haudenosaunee Confederacy which originally included the Cayuga, Oneida, Onondaga, Mohawk, and Seneca. The Tuscarora joined in 1722, constituting the 'Six Nations.' Most of the Neutral tribe disappeared due to being destroyed or forced out by the Seneca and Mohawk tribes of the Six Nations around 168o-1685 as well as diseases and colonization while the remaining membersjoined the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (Wilfrid Laurier University, 2020). 3.2 COUNTY OF WATERLOO, WATERLOO TOWNSHIP In 1784, General Haldimand, then Governor of Quebec, acquired six miles of land on each side of the Grand River from the Mississaugas (Bloomfield 19, 20o6). A tract of land 12 miles wide along the course of the Grand River were granted to the Six Nations Indians by the British in recognition of their support during the American Revolution. The land was later divided into four blocks; Block 2 later became Waterloo Township. 21 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON In November 1796, the Six Nations drew up a deed for sale of Block 2 of the Haldimand Tract. The deed was recorded at Newark (Niagara on the Lake) and in February 1798 the title was registered and a Crown Grant was drawn for this block (McLaughlin, 21 2007). The buyer was Colonel Richard Beasley, a Loyalist from New York, who had arrived in Canada in 1777. Beasley boughtthe 9316o acres of land along with his business partners, James Wilson and Jean -Baptiste Rousseaux (Bloomfield 20, 2006). The land was then surveyed by Richard Cockrell who divided the township into upper and lower blocks (Hayes 3, 1997). At this time, German Mennonite farmers from Pennsylvania were scouting out farmland in the area. Several of them went back to Pennsylvania and returned with their families the following year to buy and settle the land (Hayes 5, 1997)• In order to raise the £lo,000 needed to purchase their prospective land holdings, the Pennsylvanian farmers, led by Sam Bricker and Daniel Erb, established an association to acquire the approximately 60,00o acres, later known as the German Company Tract (GCT). The deed for the land was finally granted to the German Company and its shareholders on 24 July 1805 (Eby N-3, 1978)• After the arrival of the GCT shareholders, settlement in the GCT slowed. Many immigrants were unable to leave Europe during the Napoleonic War, and the War of 1812 in North America also prevented many settlers from relocating tojoin their relatives. By 1815 the conflicts had ended, and settlement to the GCT began to increase, with additional Pennsylvania Mennonite settlers, German -based settlers, and later English, Irish and Scottish settlers. A number of settlers from England, Scotland and Ireland came to Waterloo Township by assisted immigration and colonization schemes (Bloomfield 55, 2006). In 1816, the GCT lands and Beasley's Lower Block were incorporated into Waterloo Township, and in 1853 became part of Waterloo County. The GCT was a unique survey that was done in equal sized farmsteads in contrast to the surrounding lots and concessions. This survey pattern had a lasting influence on the township that resulted in an irregular network of roads which followed the contours of the land and avoided high quality agricultural land. 22 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON 1Vat Tinn f.�rao�2� t�i�i alit .«aS sca sow Lora a[ IenI WW zuhra mid WM941&91 li�v�tbpe�if®as.7b31 t pp'' Figure ii: Map of Waterloo Township in 1831 showing settled and cultivated land.

Other early settlers included Benjamin Eby, Samuel Eby, and John Brubacher. The hamlet of Berlin was incorporated in 1833. At this time, Berlin had a population of 1,000 people. By 1912, Berlin was proclaimed a City, having a population of 15,195 people. An influx of German workers came to the city in the first half of the 19th century (Uttley,1937). The construction of the Grand Trunk Railway in 1856 increased the settlement and industrialization of the area. By the early 20th century, Berlin's urban core was dominated by a variety of factories. The map of the City of Berlin in 1853-1854, shows that the subject lands had not yet been developed, although Hoffman's Steam Factory is identified to the south of the block and Town Hall towards Weber Street (Duke Street is not identified in this map). 23 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON s� Figure 1.2: Map of Berlin, 1.853-1.854 showing settled land.

The subject property was one of the areas that was developed during this time, predominately to house merchants and their workers. Original land owners in this area were commonly merchants in the downtown core of Berlin or workers for industrial businesses.

Hoffman's Steam Factory is identified to the south of the block at the corner of King Street West and Foundry (currently Ontario Street). The Town Hall is identified to the north of the block including the subject lands (Duke Street does not appear in this map). By 1861, the Tremaine's Map shows that the south side of the block along King Street West was developed including a series of stores (one ofwhich is Dr. Pipe's drugstore) and J. Hoffman's factory. Duke Street appears to the west but terminates at Foundry St (Ontario St). The south side of the block, which currently includes the current block, included four buildings, one of which is identified as "D.

The existing building on-site was constructed in 1916 and was the fourth headquarters of Economical Mutual Fire Insurance of Berlin (a year later changed to Kitchener after WWI). The building was designed by Architect W.H.E. Schmalz (Glover, 182). It was claimed to be worth $60,00o at the time, and in the local newspaper it was stated that "-The handsome and commodious new home of the Economical is a credit alike to the company and to this enterprising and progressive mercantile and industrial city" (The Record, 2012). Some of the building's features included an electric vacuum cleaning system connected to every office" (The Record, 2012). 0 - Figure 21.: Photograph of 1.6-20 Queen Street North c. 1.930 (Courtesy of Grace Schmidt Room, City of Kitchener Public Library). w Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON e _ i y jcC4la ,, t 116 Q iZIEEN Np,oTH Figures zz & 23: (above) Excerpt of Fire Insurance Plan of igo8 (revised 1.91-7); (Below) Excerpt of Fire Insurance Plan of 1.9o8 (revised 1.925); red box indicates the subject lands (Courtesy of Grace Schmidt Room, City of Kitchener Public Library). 30 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON The existing building was constructed within close proximity of the adjacent shirt factory to the north and residence to the south. The design intent of the building was focused on its front elevation along Queen Street North as the building was designed in a context in which the sides (south and north elevations) and rear (west elevation) would not be easily visible by the public realm. In 1925, at the time that the Fire Insurance Plan was being completed, Goudies Department store was constructed in the location of the former residence of A. MacPherson. The removal of the house created the trajectory of Goudies Lane as it exists today and allowed for the visibility of the southern elevation of the existing building on the subject property. M -r - r - Figure 24: Historical photograph of Goudie's Department Store established in 1.925 at King Street West and Queen Street North (Courtesy of The Record). Between 1916 and 1933, William Henry Schmalz worked as the Managing Director of the Company. William Schmalz Sr. was very active in the community and was the first mayor of the City of Berlin upon its incorporation in 1912 (Economical Mutual Insurance Company1871- 1952, 12). It was William H. Schmalz' son, William Henry Eugene Schmalz, with the help of Charles Knetchel, who designed the building. Both William H.E. Schmalzand Charles Knetchel were prominent architects in the City of Kitchener (Biographical Dictionary of Architects in Canada). William H.E. Schmalz designed several buildings in the City of Kitchener including (not limited to): Kitchener City Hall (demolished 1973), Goudies Stores Ltd (King Street West), News Record Printing Co. (Queen Street at Duke Street), Station Hotel (addition), Waterloo County Goal (alterations), Huether Brewing Co., and Holy Cross Lutheran Church. William H.E. 31 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON Schmalz studied architecture at the University of Toronto and apprenticed at Darling & Pearson which is acclaimed to be one of the most important architectural firms in Canada in the early tot" century.

Between 1925 and 1947, the landscape of this section of Queen Street North changed dramatically with the construction of the Goudies Department store, the removal of the remaining residence at the north-west corner of Duke Street West and Queen Street North which was replaced with a larger commercial building for a press and printing company. The shirt factory and adjacent brick building to the north (identified as office on first floor and apartments above) were present in the 1894 (revised 1904) FIP and appear in the 19o8 (revised 1947) FIP. These buildings later would be removed to facilitate the construction of the existing building on this corner. 32 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON ..rid=�- £'r 'J W•. ....�. 3—T WT71:. ~kt- PJ _day 17 r } m.

At the time of establishment the town of Berlin was still in its early stage of development with a population of approximately 2,743 persons (Economical Mutual Insurance Company 1871-1952, 3)• By the mid-188os, the company, who had annual meeting in the Berlin Town Hall, required a substantial building to work from. In 1888, an office building was occupied by the company at the southwest corner of King and Ontario which costed $zs,000.00 (Economical Mutual Insurance Company 1871-1952, 9). *. i 12 9 * * 2C e ;2 Figure 32: Historical epherma forthe Economical Mutual Fire Insurance Company; in this instance a calendar from 18go (Courtesy of the Grace Schmidt Room, City of Kitchener Public Library). It was during the latter years of Mr. Fen neII's service as president that the building on the subject property was constructed as the fourth office building of the Economical Fire Insurance Company. The building was designed by Architect W.H.E. Schmalz (Glover, 182). The building was the headquarters of the company for 36 years between 1916 and 1952 (Glover, 182). 35 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON ii .� �.. 77 HITC H ENY.R.

In 1917, a year after the company settled in the office located at 20 Queen Street North, the name of the Company changed to remove the words "of Berlin" as a result of WWI when the name of the Town changed from Berlin to Kitchener (Economical Mutual Insurance Company1871-1952, 11). Figure 35: Fourth headquarters of the Economical Fire Insurance Company in 1949 (Courtesy of The Record, 2012). 36 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON The Company included several notable managing directors such as William Henry Schmalz who worked for the company between 1878 and 1933 and was the first Mayor of the City of Berlin incorporated in 1912. By 1936, underthe presidency of Henry Knell, the company made an agreement with Merchants Casualty Insurance Company of Waterloo, Ontario to broaden their insurance from solely fire; this movement was key to the company's future success and operation in other provinces (Economical Insurance 1871-1971, 16). By 1947, Mr. Knell retired in the same year that the Company purchased Northwestern Mutual Fire Insurance Association expanding into the Maritime Provinces and began to offer insurance for automobile, accident and illness (Economical Insurance, 2020). A location for a new building was acquired (currently 10 Duke Street). Messrs Mathers & Haldenbyfrom Toronto were commissioned to design the new office. On February 22, 1952, the new office at 10 Duke Street was opened; this would be the company's fifth headquarters (Economical Mutual Insurance Company 1871-1952, 18).

In the 196os, the company's business had developed significantly in the Niagara Peninsula and an office was constructed in Hamilton opening in October ofthat year; atthe time there were more than one thousand Economical agents located across Canada (Economical Insurance 1871-1971, 20). In 1968, the Company purchased Perth Mutual of Stratford and twelve years later the Waterloo Mutual Insurance Company was purchased (Economical Insurance, 2020). In 1988, the head office was relocated to its current location in the City of Waterloo (Economical Insurance, 2020). The Company has been in service in Canada for 149 years with head offices located in Waterloo Region; the year that this report is completed marks its 1501h anniversary.

Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON 5.2.2 Historical/ Associative Value The property is directly associated with the original Economical Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Berlin (now Economical Insurance) which made the building its fourth headquarters in Kitchener. The company was first established in Kitchener (then Berlin) in 1871. The company is now nationally known as Economical Insurance which has been in service for 149 years with head offices located in Waterloo Region. The building was used for the company for approximately 36 years between 1916 and 1952. Also, it is directly associated with William Schmalz (Sr.) who was the mayor of Kitchener in 1911-1912 and senior manager of Economical Mutual during the time it was located in the building. The building is directly associated with the Royal Conservatory of Music which operated in the building between 1917 and 1935. Later, the building facilitated the Ontario Conservatory of Music and the Elsie Ewald School of Dance. It is directly associated with George H. Ziegler who operated the Conservatory of Music in the building. Ziegler conducted Kitchener Musical Society Band and was the organist and choir master for years at Trinity United Church. Architect William Henry Eugene Schmalz and Charles Knetchel were commissioned to design the building. W.H.E. Schmalz was a notable architect in the City and is known for designing the original City Hall of the City of Kitchener which was completed in 1924. He was a member of the Chamber of Commerce, the Kitchener Parks Board, the Kiwanis Club and the Kitchener Musical Society. 5.2.3 Contextual Value: The building supports the character of the area that has commercial buildings also built within the same era. The building is functionally and historically linked tothe surroundings; the building abuts Goudie's lane and is within 6o metres of the fifth headquarters at so Duke Street at the intersection of Duke and Queen Street North which was the successorto the company's location at 16-20 Queen Street North.

The former Economical Insurance building has design/ physical value as a representation of the Beaux-Arts style in the City Kitchenerwhich displays a high degree of craftsmanship and artistic merit. Typical Beaux Arts features found on the front elevation of this 1916 structure includes: classical Roman and Greek elements such as the portico columns, cornicing with classical dentil mouldings, use of stone and brick, elevated first storey and sculptural decorations. Several of these features are exhibited in the use of cast stone such as front entrance portico columns, entablature with decorative consoles/ corbels, medallion/ shield and festoon sculptural bas- reliefs. The front portico and central frontispiece as well as the use of baluster and Juliette balconies on the front elevation exaggerate the first storey by its use of elaborate, decorative Italian and French Renaissance elements. The interior of the building also exhibits typical Beaux -Art architectural design including a grand arrival hall, which is located at the 20 Queen Street North entrance, staircases and hierarchy of spaces. The majority of the original interior arrangement is in place at it were at its debut c. 1916 as well as many of the interior features. Interior features include: classical crown moulding such as Roman Doric columns and Greek frets, wood panelling and marble wainscoting, elaborate main meeting room on second floor with c. 1916 electric fireplace, original wood flooring and doors, original light fixtures, four sets of wooden staircases with wood square top balusters and capped newel posts. The building also includes original mechanical and electrical equipment such as the original boiler by Waterloo Manufacturing Company Limited, "Square Y breaker and Dominion Electric Manufacturing breaker c. 192o and original Goldie & McCulloch Co. Limited Galt fireproof safe doors. The historic or associative values of the building relate to its direct association with the Economical Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Berlin building (now Economical Insurance) which made the building itsfourth headquarters in Kitchener. The companywas first established in Kitchener (then Berlin) in 1871, the company is now nationally known as Economical Insurance which has now been in service for 149 years with head offices located in Waterloo Region. The building was occupied by the company between August 1916 and 1952. The building is directly associated with William Schmalz (Sr) who was the managing Director of the Company between 1916 and 1933 and who also was the first mayor of the City of Berlin (later Kitchener) which incorporated as a City in 1912. It is also directly associated with the Royal 52 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON Conservatory of Music which operated out of the building between 1917 and 1935. Later it facilitated the Ontario Conservatory of Music and the Elsie Ewald School of Dance. It is directly associated with George H. Ziegler who operated the Conservatory of Music in the building. The Economical Insurance Company operated in this building for over three decades, during the Great Depression and WWII and overcame several significant, national economic and political changes during this time and can yield information as it relates to businesses within the City during this era. Several decisions relating to mergers with other companies including the 1936 agreement with the Merchants Casualty Insurance Company of Waterloo, Ontario where established in the building which broadened their insurance from solely fire and in 1947 the Company's purchase of Northwestern Mutual Fire Insurance Association which expanded the businesses into Maritime Provinces to offer insurance for automobiles, accidents and illnesses. The building demonstrates the work of architect William Henry Eugene Schmalz (son of William Henry Schmalz) and Charles Knetchel who were commissioned to design the building. W.H.E. Schmalz was a notable architect in the City and is known for designing the original Kitchener City Hall which was completed in 1924. The contextual value of the building relates to its location within Downtown Kitchener. It supports the character of the area and is functionally and historically linked to the surroundings including Goudie's lane and the fifth headquarters at so Duke Street at the intersection of Duke and Queen Street North which was the successor to the company's location at 16-20 Queen Street North. Plaques embedded into the sidewalk outline the years that Economical Mutual Fire Insurance Company and Royal Conservatory of Music which confirms its historical contextual value to the streetscape and overall downtown area. 53 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON 6. O DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The proposed development of the subject lands includes the construction of a 34 storey multi- storey residential building with 212 units; the total GFAforthe proposed building is 17,925.3sgm. The current concept plan includes integrating the fagade of the existing cultural heritage on the subject lands. Levels 2-5 will function as the podium, levels 6-20 will compose the lower tower and levels 21-33 the uppertower and remaining levels will include the penthouse (see Figure 59). See Appendix `B' for urban design brief which includes architectural drawings of elevations. The final design of the proposed development is still in progress. .3 IT 'A4a5Litir'EC Figure 59 — Site Plan of proposed development (Source: ABA Architects., 2020) WA— H z w LLJ M 54 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON The proposed develpoment will retain the front fagade of the building as demonstrated in the Figure below while integrating it the first three floors of the new building. The new construction will be setback approximately 3 metres from the front fagade (it is a greater distance from the front portico). A Phase Two Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) was completed by GHD Group to investigate soil and groundwater quality in October 2020. Mercury contamination was discovered below the existing building, primarily in the rear extension. The development requires the extraction of the contaminated soil which is a critical factor in the decision to remove the majority of the existing building.

Lead was detected in paint and asbestos was detected in window glazing, pipe insulation, pipe elbows in basement and the vacant unit at 16 Queen Street N. If any of these features were retained and/ or salvaged, their removal/ re -use would have to consider the findings of this study. 55 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL DEV &e, Figure 63.— Rendering of proposed development (Source: ABA Architects Inc., 2020) The development proposes to salvage removed heritage attributes and exhibit some of the attributes within the "Community Benefit" space shown in Figure 6o. This space would be publically accessible and would function as a commemorative area/ small-scale museum. Salvaged attributes are also proposed to be used in other part of the new construction including the main lobby/ foyer of the building. Interpretation will also be connected to Goudies Lane. The rhythm of the front fagade of the new construction was based on a musical excerpt to give ode to the Kitchener Conservatory of Music which operated out of the former building on-site between 193.7 and 1935 (see Figure 62). 56 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON PREVIOUS SITE OF KITCHENER CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC 191J-1435 r.

O IMPACT ANALYSIS The following sub -sections of this report will provide an analysis of impacts which are anticipated as a result of the proposed redevelopment of the subject lands as they relate to the identified cultural heritage resources. This will include a description of the classification of the impact as beneficial, neutral, or adverse. 7.1 CLASSIFICATIONS OF IMPACTS There are three classifications of impacts that the effects of a proposed development may have on an identified cultural heritage resource: beneficial, neutral or adverse. Beneficial impacts may include retaining a resource of cultural heritage value, protecting it from loss or removal, restoring/repairing heritage attributes, or making sympathetic additions or alterations that allow for the continued long-term use of a heritage resource. Neutral effects have neither a markedly positive or negative impact on a cultural heritage resource. Adverse effects may include the loss or removal of a cultural heritage resource, unsympathetic alterations or additions which remove or obstruct heritage attributes. The isolation of a cultural heritage resource from its setting or context, or addition of other elements which are unsympathetic to the character or heritage attributes of a cultural heritage resource are also considered adverse impacts. These adverse impacts may require strategies to mitigate their impact on cultural heritage resources. The impacts of a proposed development or change to a cultural heritage resource may occur over a short or long-term duration, and may occur during a pre -construction phase, construction phase or post -construction phase. Impacts to a cultural heritage resource may also be site specific or widespread, and may have low, moderate or high levels of physical impact. According to the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit, the following constitutes negative impacts which may result from a proposed development: • Destruction: of any, or part of any significant heritage attributes or features; • Alteration: that is not sympathetic, or is incompatible, with the historic fabric and appearance: • Shadows: created that alter the appearance of a heritage attribute or change the viability of a natural feature or plantings, such as a garden; Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON • Isolation: of a heritage attribute from its surrounding environment, context or a significant relationship; • Direct or Indirect Obstruction: of significant views or vistas within, from, or of built and natural features; • A change inland use: such as rezoning a battlefield from open space to residential use, allowing new development or site alteration to fill in the formerly open spaces; • Land disturbances: such as a change in grade that alters soils, and drainage patterns that adversely affect a cultural heritage resource. Furthermore, this report utilizes guides published bythe International Council on Monuments and Site (ICOMOS), Council of UNESCO, from the World Heritage Convention of January of Zoll. The grading of impact is based on "Guide to Assessing Magnitude of Impact" as a framework for this report: Change to key historic building elements that contribute to the cultural heritage value or interest (CHVI) such that the resource is totally altered. Comprehensive changes to the setting. Change to many key historic building elements, such that the resource is significantly modified. Changes to the setting of an historic building, such that it is significantly modified. Change to key historic building elements, such that the asset is slightly different. Change to setting of an historic building, such that is it noticeably changed. Slight changes to historic building elements or setting that hardly affect it. No chance to fabric or setti 59 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON 7.2ADVERSE IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT TO 16-2o QUEEN STREET NORTH The following chart evaluates the impact the proposed development will have on the existing cultural heritage resource on the subject lands. Table i.o Adverse Impacts 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener Impact Level of Impact Analysis ((Potential, No, Minor, Moderate or Major) Destruction or alteration Moderate The development will retain the front facade of of heritage attributes the building; however, the majority of the building is proposed to be removed to facilitate the development. Subsequently, the interior heritage attributes identified in sub -section 5.2.4 will be removed, however, the majority of exterior attributes will be conserved with the retention of the front fagade which has been determined to be the significant fagade. See sub -section 7.2.1. Shadows No. Due to the location of the building facing southeast, nearly all shadows will fall away from the front fagade. Isolation No. The proposed development will not isolate the fagadefrom its original context as it will retain its original location on Queen Street N. and contextual relationship with Queen Street North and Goudies Lane. See sub -section 7.2.2. Direct or Indirect No. There will be no direct obstruction of significant Obstruction of Views views of the main fagade (which has been determined to be the significant fagade of the building), however, the new portion of the building will be visible from all vantage points. See sub -section 7.2.3. A Change in Land Use No Land Disturbance Moderate. Land disturbances will be a result of construction activities within close proximity of the retained fagade. Are Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON 7.2.1 Impact of Destruction and Alteration The proposed development will remove the majority of the building's mass which includes exterior and interior heritage attributes identified in sub -section 5.2.4 of this report. The majority of the exterior heritage attributes will be retained by conserving the front fagade, however, the overall mass, form and scale will become disassociated with this retained portion of the building and alter the original design intent which is an impact of alteration/ destruction. See Appendix `D' for measured drawings of the existing building. Figure 63 — Measured drawing of existing first floor; red box indicates heritage building fabric proposed to be removed (Source: iGuide., 2020) 7.2.2 Impact of Isolation The Ontario Heritage Tool Kit outlines an impact of isolation is when a heritage attribute of a cultural heritage resource is isolated from its surrounding environment, context or significant relationship. The proposed development will not alter the relationship or orientation of the cultural heritage resourcesto Queen Street North. The propose development retainsthe current setback of the existing building due to the retention of its fagade. The increased scale contrasts with the existing streetscape of primarily 2-3 storey buildings. The retention of the fagade allows for the cultural heritage resource to continue to read as part of the historic rhythm of commercial buildings along the streetscape. It is important that the materials and design elements of the proposed development be sympathetic to the retained 61 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON heritage building fabric contained in the fagade to eradicate any adverse impacts of isolation. This will be examined more thoroughly in Section lo.o of this report. 7.2.3 Impact of Direct or Indirect Obstruction of View The Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places (Second Edition) defines in Section 4.1.5 "Visual Relationships" which is included as part of a character -defining element of a historic place and relates to an observer and their relationship with a landscape or landscape feature or between the relative dimensions of landscape features (scale). This policy with the Ministry adopted the following definitions of a view and vista, respectively: Vista means a distant visual setting that may be experienced from more than one vantage point, and includes the components of the setting at various points in the depth of field. The Ontario Heritage Toolkit acknowledges that views of a heritage attributes can be components of its significant cultural heritage value. This can include relationships between settings, landforms, vegetation patterns, buildings, landscapes, sidewalks, streets, and gardens, for example. View means a visual setting experienced from a single vantage point, and includes the components of the setting at various points in the depth of field. Views can be either static or kinetic. Static views are those which have a fixed vantage point and view termination. Kinetic views are those related to a route (such as a road or walking trail) which includes a series of views of an object or vista. The vantage point of a view is the place in which a person is standing. The termination of the view includes the landscape or buildings which is the purpose of the view. The space between the vantage point and the termination (or object(s) being viewed) includes a foreground, middle -ground, and background. Views can also be `framed' by buildings or features. While there may be many vantage points providing views and vistas of a property, landscape, building or feature, these must be evaluated to determine whether or not they are significant. Significance is defined by PPS 202o as follows: Significant: means e) in regard to cultural heritage and archaeology, resources that have been determined to have cultural heritage value or interest for the important contribution they make to our understanding of the history of a place, an event, or a people. Therefore, a significant view must be identified as having an important contribution to the understanding of a place, event or people. 62 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON The table on the following page identifies the two (2) identified significant views of the existing buildings on the subject lands.

The Beaux-Arts architectural style was intended to impress viewers by its exaggerated Classical features. The view of the building from the east side of Queen Street North is most commonly depicted in local photographs and ephemera relating to the Economical Mutual Fire Insurance Company as seen below. This angle provided an image of the building with the greatest perspective of scale, mass and grandeur. The proposed development will not obstruct this view, however, and the new portions of the building will be visible in all views of the building. 16 Figures 64, 65, 66—(above left) Photograph c. 1.930; (above right) Photograph c. 1.949; (Courtesy of the Grace Schmidt Room, City of Kitchener Public Library); (below) Current view of 1.6-20 Queen St N (Source: MHBC, 2020) 64 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON View No. z- Kinetic view via Queen Street North The proposed construction will be setback from the fagade of the existing building so the kinetic view will not be significantly impacted as the original front fagade will still read as it historically along the streetscape.

INTRODUCTION The following have been identified as a range of development alternatives that may be considered as part of the heritage planning process. These options have been assessed in terms of impacts to cultural heritage resources as well as balancing other planning policies within the planning framework. The following sub -sections of this report consider the potential for alternative development options as it relates to the proposed development. 8.1.1'Do Nothing' Alternative The'do nothing' alternative would result in no adverse impacts to the existing significant cultural heritage resource since no redevelopment would occur. 8.1.2 Retain Existing Building On -Site with Reduce Construction Height This option would result in retaining the existing building and developing in the form of a mid - high rise addition above the building. This option would result in the retention of all of the facades of the existing cultural heritage resource, however, some of the interior features would be removed and likely the roof structure in order to integration the addition into the existing structure. A Phase Two Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) completed by GHD Group in October 2020 identified mercury contamination below the building. GHD Group consultant states that the extent of the contamination is, "-beneath the northwestern and southwestern walls of the boiler room, as well as the main wall separating the rear section of the basement from the front section" (Beattie, 2020). In order for the soil contamination to be extracted this portion of the building would have be raised; the mass and scale of the building poses significant challenges for this option. 67 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON 8.1.3 Demolish Existing Building On -Site and Develop as Proposed This option would result in the removal of the entire building to permit the soil remediation to occur in the easiest manner. However, this alternative would have the greatest impact on heritage resources since all heritage attributes would be removed. This option is not recommended. Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON 9. O MITIGATION MEASURES & CONSERVATION RECOMMENDATIONS 9.1. MITIGATION MEASURES • A Documentation and Salvage Plan should be completed; that will: o Identify interior and exterior heritage attributes and other salvageable building material to be salvaged prior to removal of the building fabric; o Identify method of extraction of heritage building material and outline plan for re -use within new construction; o Measured drawings of elevations identifying existing features and materials and floor plans; o High resolution photographs thoroughly document the building, context, setting, exterior elevations and interior spaces, detailing, finishes and characteristics. • A Conservation Plan should be completed that will identify short and long-term conservation goals. The short term conservation goals should describe how the retained portions of the building will be conserved during construction including o the method of partial demolition (manual, selective demolition); o Demonstration that the proposed development will be constructed in away that will avoid damage to the building fagade and that during construction the retained portions will be stabilized and protected; o Risk Management Plan which outlines requirements in the event of any damage to the retained facade whether it be partial or total loss. • An Interpretation Plan should be completed to the satisfaction of City Staff; this Plan will: Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON o Commemorative/ interpretative signage and/or installation commemorating the portions of the building that have been removed; o Describe the commemorative area/ small-scale museum within the Community Benefit space on the ground level of new building and the means by which it will be established; o It is encouraged that the Interpretation Plan be completed in collaboration with local community groups and institutions (i.e. The Museum, the Waterloo Historical Society).

This sub -section of the report will review the proposed development within the context of these guides. The Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada document was designed to guide the approach and methodology of conservation for cultural heritage resources in Canada. The Standards in this document discourage the removal of character defining elements of a cultural heritage resource. The character -defining elements of retained fagade should be protected and stabilized during the construction period before any intervention is undertaken (Standard 6). Upon the construction of the new building, the appropriate intervention will be identified in a Conservation Plan, which is a recommendation of this report. The proposed development should conserve the heritage value and character defining elements of the retained fagade. The 'addition' of the proposed development should be, "physically and visually compatible with, subordinate to and distinguishable from the historic place" (Standard 11). Although not able to be subordinate, the new development should be physically and visually compatible by being consistent with the "Elements of Infill" discussed in the following section as well as being distinguishable. The ability to be distinguishable is consistent with the principle of 'legibility' of the Eight Guiding Principles in the Conservation of Historical Properties. The contemporary design of the proposed development is distinguishable in its use of glazing and modern architectural articulations. The Ontario Heritage Tool Kit outlines acceptable infill designs within a cultural heritage landscape (see Figure 72). It is important to note that the current streetscape of Queen Street North is not a designated cultural heritage landscape. According to the OHTK, infills in designated cultural heritage landscapes are to fit in the immediate context, be of the same scale and similar setback, maintain proportions of windows and entrances similar to other cultural heritage resources and be of similar colour and material. 71 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON new infill ,----� Should fit ils ]Q� ®i11 QnD I 10700 - immBdiete context ]Q� LOZIlfID i i Ilt7q new infill should be generallyZ`11111 FfdD�d �.Q�(TBSame height I Iand width as°�` QIl ®DtlD i OQr3 Rf3[I t I JOD00 QC1a Ik >m neighbours RBwinflllSetbacks Should have similar to neighbours' This is a good maintain DOE r� m example of the proport_n or Q� p�U - Q use ofrimple windows andODE dpD (]fl(] 000 --J. ��_ �UZI entrances Po•=-' graphic to demonstrate acceptable and use similar or v ae unacceptable Wing C infill design. matenalsandcolours Ministry of Culture) Figure 72: Appropriate Infill Examples in Cultural Heritage Landscape (Source: Ontario Heritage Tool Kit, 2oi8). Although, the subject land is not included in a designated cultural heritage landscape, it is acknowledged that is a part of mature neighbourhood and is identified Cultural Heritage Landscape (L -Com -2) which is defined as "Downtown." The Region of Waterloo outlines "Elements of Successful Infill" in Infill: New Construction in Heritage Neighbourhoods as part of their series, Practical Conservation Guide for Heritage Properties. The "Elements of Successful Infill" include: setback, scale, orientation, scale, proportion, rhythm, massing, height, materials, colour, roof shape, detail and ornamentation, landscape features, secondary buildings, and parking. The following Table 4.o evaluates the proposed development within this framework: Setback & Orientation I The proposed development proposes to retain the existing building's fagade and thus, will retain the existing setback along the streetscape. Subsequently, the existing building will inherently retain the proposed development's orientation to the streetscape. The new construction will be setback approximately 3 metres from the retained fagade allowing for the streetscape to retain its rhythm (see Figure 73)• Scale, Proportion, The proposed development is of a much greater scale then Rhythm buildings along Queen Street North and greater area. The proportion of the building, however, is consistent with modern/ contemporary buildings within the surrounding area. The hierarchy of space demonstrative of the existing building is 72 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON typical of Beaux-Arts and includes a variety of proportions. The proposed development is consistent with portions of architectural features such as openings and balconies (see Figure 62). The rhythm of panels on the face of balconies are based on a musical score to reflect the sites previous use for the Kitchener Conservatory of Music. Massing and Height The proposed development is of a much larger mass and height than buildings along this stretch of Queen Street North which is predominately low to mid -rise development. The mass and height is setback from the streetscape which allows a buffer between the streetscape and change in mass/ height. The proposed use of glazing also will reduce the perspective of mass. Materials, Colour, Roof IColours are of a neutral palette (light and dark grey). Walls are to Shape, Detail and be composed of precast material. The new construction is Ornamentation modern and simplistic in design. Landscape Features, There are no proposed secondary buildings on-site or surface Secondary Buildings, parking (there is loading area proposed in the approximate Parking location of existing parking lot to the north). There are no proposed landscape features (the subject lands are currently void of vegetation) but would benefit from landscape features to coincide with the historic open space at the north-east corner of i Queen Street North and Duke Street West. 73 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON Figure 73: Extent of stepback from fagade to new construction (Source: ABA Architects Inc.). In summary, the proposed development generally complies with thee le me nts of successful infill in a mature neighborhood with the exception of: scale, massing and height. The proposed development is still in progress. In order to guide development, it is recommended that materials, colours, details and ornamentation and landscape features be sympathetic to the retained heritage building fabric contained in the front fagade of the existing building. The following are recommendations as they relate to the proposed development and these elements: • Materials, details and ornamentation particularly on the first three levels (pedestrian level) should be sympathetic to the existing building by utilizing a contemporary interpretation of existing architectural articulations (i.e. roofline, mouldings) and materials that do not detract from the existing fagade; glazing intercepted by high quality materials (i.e. stone and brick) are recommended to integrate the existing cultural heritage resource into new buildings; • Colours should be of a neutral palette; • Signage and lighting of the retained building should emphasis the existing building's prominence along the streetscape and avoid obstructing any views of the front fagade. 74 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON 1.0. 0 CONCLUSIONS MHBC was retained in September zozo by to undertake a Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment (CHIA) for the subject property located at 16-20 Queen Street North. The purpose of this CHIA is to determine the impact of the development on identified heritage attributes of the existing building on the subject property. The proposed development includes the integration of a portion of the existing building (front facade) into the new construction. This report determined through the evaluation under the prescribed Ontario Regulation 9/66, that the building has significant cultural heritage value or interest. The Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest is included in Sub- section 5.3 of this report. This report concluded that the building on the property is worthy of designation under the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA). Sub -section 8.2 of this report identifies the impacts to identified heritage attributes of the existing cultural heritage resource on the subject land, which includes the retention of the main fagade of the building and integration into a new construction. The following impacts were identified based on this proposal: Adverse Impacts: 1. Moderate impact of destruction of exterior and interior heritage attributes and original mass of the building; 2. Moderate impact of land disturbances during construction. As required, this report outlines mitigation measures for the proposed impacts in Section 1o.o. Mitigation Measures: • A Documentation and Salvage should be completed; that will: o Identify interior and exterior heritage attributes and other salvageable building material to be salvaged prior to removal of the building fabric; o Identify method of extraction of heritage building material and outline plan for re -use within new construction; o Measured drawings of elevations identifying existing features and materials and floor plans; o High resolution photographs thoroughly document the building, context, setting, exterior elevations and interior spaces, detailing, finishes and characteristics. 75 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON • A Conservation Plan should be completed to the satisfaction of the City Staff this Plan will be composed of short, medium and long-term conservation goals. The short/ medium term conservation goals will be included in a Temporary Protection Plan which will include: o A Demolition Plan outlining the method of partial demolition (manual, selective demolition); this repot will require a report completed by a certified structural engineer deeming the method feasible and appropriate; o Certification by an engineer that the proposed development will be constructed in a way that will avoid damage to the building fagade; o Stabilization Plan that identifies and prioritizes short term building stabilization requirements necessary to protect and conserve the retained portion of the building including a Risk Management Plan which outlines steps requirements in the event of the damage to the retained facade whether it be partial ortotal loss. • An Interpretation Plan should be completed to the satisfaction of City Staff; this Plan will: o Commemorative/ interpretative signage and/or installation commemorating the portions of the building that have been removed and a historical overview of the property preferably within the community space identified on the first floor in the proposed development; o It is encourage that the Interpretation Plan be completed in collaboration with local community groups and institutions (i.e. The Museum, the Waterloo Historical Society). It is encouraged that a form and location of commemoration or interpretative installation be part of the Site Plan process to acknowledge the building's significance in the Town of Berlin, now the City of Kitchener. Conservation Recommendations: • Materials, details and ornamentation particularly on the first three levels (pedestrian level) should be sympathetic to the existing building by utilizing a contemporary interpretation of existing architectural articulations (i.e. roofline, mouldings) and materials that do not detract from the existing fagade; glazing intercepted by high quality materials (i.e. stone and brick) are recommended to integrate the existing cultural heritage resource into new buildings; • Signage and lighting of the retained building should emphasis the existing building's prominence along the streetscape and avoid obstructing any views of the front fagade. 76 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON The retained fagade should be conserved in accordance with the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada.

Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment 16-20 Queen Street North, Kitchener, ON APPENDIX F- HIA TERMS OF REFERENCE Z City of Kitchener Development Services Department — Planning Division 16-20 Queen Street North Site Plan Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment — Terms of Reference 1.0 Background A Heritage Impact Assessment is a study to determine the impacts to known and potential cultural heritage resources within a defined area proposed for future redevelopment. The study shall include an inventory of all cultural heritage resources within the planning application area. The study results in a report which identifies all known cultural heritage resources, evaluates the significance of the resources, and makes recommendations toward mitigative measures that would minimize negative impacts to those resources. A Heritage Impact Assessment may be required on a property which is listed on the City's Heritage Advisory Committee Inventory; listed on the City's Municipal Heritage Register; designated under the Ontario Heritage Act; or where development is proposed adjacent to a protected heritage property. The requirement may also apply to unknown or recorded cultural heritage resources which are discovered during the development application stage or construction. These terms of reference have been scoped based on the existing status of the property and the nature of the proposal. Sections not required are noted by strikethrough. Requirements specific to the subject property are noted in italics. 2.0 Heritage Impact Assessment Requirements It is important to recognize the need for Heritage Impact Assessments at the earliest possible stage of development or alteration. Notice will be given to the property owner and/or their representative as early as possible. When the property is the subject of a Plan of Subdivision or Site Plan application, notice of a Heritage Impact Assessment requirement will typically be given at the pre -application meeting, followed by written notification. The notice will inform the property owner of any known heritage resources specific to the subject property and provide guidelines to completing the Heritage Impact Assessment.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND GM BluePlan Engineering Limited (GM BluePlan) was retained by to undertake a Designated Substance Survey (DSS) within the commercial building located at 16-20 Queen Street North in the City of Kitchener, ON. It is our understanding that the DSS was requested to plan for future building renovations and or upgrades. The purpose of this DSS is to identify designated substances as defined under the OHSA that may be present in the construction materials in the structure to be renovated. 2. REGULATORY SETTING Under the OHSA, 11 substances are prescribed as "designated substances" which include the following: • Acrylonitrile • Arsenic • Asbestos • Benzene • Coke oven emissions • Ethylene oxides • Isocyanates • Lead • Mercury • Silica (free crystalline form) • Vinyl chloride These substances are regulated under two Ontario Regulations (O. Reg.) made under the OHSA, which include the following: 1. O. Reg. 490/09: Designated Substances 2. O. Reg. 278/05: Designated Substance —Asbestos on Construction Projects and in Buildings and Repair Operations O. Reg. 490/09 came into effect on July 1, 2010, at which time the previous individual designated substance regulations, with the exception of O. Reg. 278/05, were revoked and consolidated under O. Reg. 490/09. Since O. Reg. 490/09 does not specifically apply to construction projects, it is our understanding that asbestos, as regulated under O. Reg. 278/05, is currently the only designated substance regulated under the construction PAGE 1 OF 11 @M, : -Plan ENGINEERING DESIGNATED SUBSTANCE SURVEY 16 - 20 QUEEN STREET NORTH, KITCHENER, ON GMBP FILE: 120122 NOVEMBER 2020 regulation. However, employers have the responsibility to take every precaution reasonable in the circumstances for the protection of their workers. Therefore, where a worker is likely to be exposed to a designated substance other than asbestos on a construction project, we recommend that the exposure limits and control measures as outlined in O. Reg. 490/09 be applied. Furthermore, Section 30.(1) of the OHSA specifies that "Before beginning a project, the owner shall determine whether any designated substances are present at the project site and shall prepare a list of all designated substances that are present at the site". Therefore, this DSS is completed to satisfy the requirements of the OHSA and associated Regulations. 3. SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY This DSS is being completed to identify the potential presence of designated substances in the building materials and surface coatings within commercial building. As part of the DSS, a site visit by Mr. Cory Young of GM BluePlan was completed on November 3, 2020. Following the historical review of building drawings, the building materials were inspected, and an investigative asbestos sampling program was completed. A visual assessment for the potential presence of other designated substances such as lead, mercury and silica was also completed during the site visit. Photographs from the DSS site visit are available in Appendix "A". Samples of accessible materials considered to have the potential to contain asbestos and lead were collected for analysis. Sampling of materials suspected to contain asbestos was conducted to support the sampling requirements established under O. Reg. 278/05. All samples collected were submitted to Bureau Veritas Laboratories (BV Labs) in Mississauga, Ontario under typical chain of custody protocols. Copies of the Certificates of Analysis are presented in Appendix "B". 4. BUILDING DESCRIPTION The subject building is a three-storey structure that was originally constructed circa 1916. The building is constructed of wood framed interior and exterior walls with the exterior consisting of masonry brick. The roof structure is flat decking (assumed to be wood) with a sealed membrane surface. Below the ground surface is a basement level with poured concrete walls (i.e. foundation) and a poured concrete floor slab. The interior building construction materials consist of concrete floors, wood floor, sheet vinyl flooring, suspended ceiling tiles, and painted plaster walls. A general summary of the buildings' construction is provided below: General Summary of Construction Details 16-20 Queen St. North Levels Three Approximate Footprint Area (mz) 1,360 Foundation Concrete Structural Framing Wood Framed Interior Partitions Wood Framed Roofing Flat - Membrane PAGE 2OF11 @M, : -Plan ENGINEERING 5. FINDINGS 5.1 Asbestos Containing Material DESIGNATED SUBSTANCE SURVEY 16 - 20 QUEEN STREET NORTH, KITCHENER, ON GMBP FILE: 120122 NOVEMBER 2020 In the early and mid -1900s, asbestos was commonly used in building materials until the late 1970s/early 1980s when the use of asbestos -containing material (ACM) was generally discontinued. In buildings constructed prior to that time, ACM is commonly found in such materials as floor tiles, certain roofing materials, drywall compound, cement siding or pipes, cementitious wall/ceiling board, sprayed -on insulation or fire proofing material, and insulation on boilers and piping for heating systems. According to O. Reg. 278/05, ACM is considered any material containing 0.5% or greater asbestos by dry weight. For the purpose of hazard assessment, ACM is divided into two separate categories based on its physical properties, which are referred to as "friable" and "non -friable". O. Reg. 278/05 defines friable material as a "material that, when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized or powdered by hand pressure, or is crumbled, pulverized or powdered". The physical properties of a friable material increase the risk of exposure to asbestos fibres through an increased potential for airborne exposure (i.e. inhalation) relative to non -friable material. ACM in the friable form typically include such construction materials as sprayed -on fire proofing materials or thermal insulation on pipes. ACM in non -friable form typically include materials that contain asbestos fibres within a competent matrix such as vinyl -asbestos floor tiles, asbestos -cement products, texturized surface coatings, mastics, or roofing felt. During the site visit, building materials considered to have the potential to contain asbestos, were sampled and submitted to BV Labs for analysis. Refer to Figure 1 for sample locations. These materials included exterior caulking, pipe insulation straights and elbows, vinyl floor coverings, suspended ceiling tiles, plaster, drywall joint compound and sprayed -on ceiling coatings. A summary of the samples collected as part of the onsite inspection, the types of materials, the associated sample locations, and the analytical results are provided in the following table: PAGE 3OF11 @M, - Plan _111111- DESIGNATED 111111- Table 1: Summary of Asbestos Analyses DESIGNATED SUBSTANCE SURVEY 16 - 20 QUEEN STREET NORTH, KITCHENER, ON GMBP FILE: 120122 NOVEMBER 2020 Sample Material Colour Location Composition ACM?

Based on the laboratory certificate of analysis, the submitted bulk material samples of the window caulking, pipe insulation (including pipe straights and elbows) contain greater than 0.5% asbestos fibres and is considered to be ACM as per O. Reg. 278/05 (as amended). Within the basement is a natural gas boiler that is suspected to contain ACM gaskets and insulation. No sampling was conducted of the boiler to preserve the operational integrity of this unit. 5.2 Silica (Free Crystalline) Silica is present in a variety of construction materials such as concrete, mortar, brick, sand, and various mineral deposits and occurs in crystalline and amorphous (non -crystalline) forms. Silica in the respirable crystalline form is the primary concern with regard to human health and is prescribed as a designated substance under the Occupational Health and Safety Act. As regulated under O. Reg. 490/09 for designated substances, the time - weighted averaged limit (TWA) for crystalline silica is 0.10 mg/m3 in the quartz/tripoli form and 0.05 mg/m3 in the cristobalite form. PAGE 6OF11 @M, : -Plan ENGINEERING DESIGNATED SUBSTANCE SURVEY 16 - 20 QUEEN STREET NORTH, KITCHENER, ON GMBP FILE: 120122 NOVEMBER 2020 Exposure to airborne crystalline silica can result from a variety of activities including demolition of masonry structures, abrasive blasting, and moving (e.g., loading, sweeping, blowing, etc.) of dust containing silica. With regard to the specific areas investigated as part of the DSS, materials with the potential to contain crystalline silica include the concrete floor slabs, foundation walls, mortar joints and plaster surfaces. 5.3 Lead Materials with the potential to contain lead in buildings typically include paint, solder, and pipe joint gaskets. Lead in the metallic form (e.g., solder, pipe joint gaskets, and sheet metal) is considered to be relatively non -hazardous as the potential for inhalation or ingestion is low. Lead in paint coatings has the potential to pose a health hazard where the disturbance of paint coated surfaces may occur and where airborne dust/particulate is generated (i.e., sandblasting or abrasive removal). Lead-based paints were commonly used as surface coatings in buildings constructed prior to 1960. After 1960, lead-based paints became less common and were generally limited to exterior applications. Under the Surface Coating Materials Regulation (SOR/2005-109), as amended, of the Hazardous Products Act, paint sold or imported into Canada since 2010 must not contain more than 90 mg/kg (ppm) lead (by dried weight) except when used for certain industrial applications as defined in the regulation. Surface coatings with a lead concentration of greater than 90 mg/kg (dry weight) must be labelled as containing lead. Prior to 2010, the regulation allowed for a lead concentration of 600 mg/kg. Currently there are no Canadian or Ontario regulatory criteria regarding the concentration of lead in materials for the purposes of workers who may come in contact with the lead -containing materials or abatement requirements if lead-based paint is present. For due diligence purposes, in the absence of regulatory criteria of lead on construction projects, paint containing more than 90 mg/kg lead is considered to require some form of precautionary handling. Ultimately, the Time -Weighted Average Limit (TWA) for lead of 0.05 mg/m3, as established under O. Reg. 490/09, should be applied for the health of a worker. A summary of the leaded paint samples collected as part of the onsite inspection, the colour, the associated sample locations, and the analytical results are provided in the following table: Table 2: Summary of Lead Analyses PAGE 7OF11 Lead Lead Sample Set Colour Location Composition Containing (mg/kg) (Y/N) First Floor - LS1 White 360 Yes Walls First Floor — 1200 LS2 Green Stairwell to Yes Basement LS3 White Basement Walls 430 Yes PAGE 7OF11 @M, : -Plan ENGINEERING DESIGNATED SUBSTANCE SURVEY 16 - 20 QUEEN STREET NORTH, KITCHENER, ON GMBP FILE: 120122 NOVEMBER 2020 Sample Set Colour Location Lead Composition (mg/kg) Lead Containing Y/N LS4 White Third Floor Walls 350 Yes LS5 Beige Stairwell Walls 5300 Yes A review of the painted interior walls, ceilings and stairwell noted that coated surfaces ranged from poor condition with excessive peeling and flaking to generally good condition. Lead containing paints have been identified on the painted surfaces within the entirety of the building interior. Lead containing plumbing solder are expected to be present in the domestic water line connections and fittings within the subject building. 5.4 Mercury Mercury is commonly used in consumer products to conduct electricity, emit UV light or to measure temperature and pressure and is found in such products as electrical switches, fluorescent lamps, batteries, thermometers/thermostats and monometers. Generally, these products are safe to use for their intended purpose. Fluorescent lights containing mercury vapour were observed within the basement areas. However, there is the potential for exposure if the materials are mishandled and the mercury is released to the environment. At room temperature, mercury can exist in a liquid and gaseous form or be contained within a powder and can be inhaled, ingested or absorbed through the skin. Any handling of mercury containing materials should be completed with care and, at the end of their service life, be disposed of in accordance with Reg. 347/90. 5.5 Other Designated Substances During the DSS site visit, remaining Designated Substances defined in the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act associated with the specified locations of the DSS were not identified in a quantity or form that would require a worker exposure control program to be implemented under the Designated Substances regulation. 5.5.1 Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) Potential sources of PCBs located within the building include electric ballasts found within the fluorescent light fixtures in the basement. Prior to disposal, the ballasts should be reviewed on a case by case basis for the potential presence of PCBs. PAGE 8OF11 @M, : -Plan ENGINEERING 6. DISCUSSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1 Asbestos Containing Material DESIGNATED SUBSTANCE SURVEY 16 - 20 QUEEN STREET NORTH, KITCHENER, ON GMBP FILE: 120122 NOVEMBER 2020 As previously noted, ACM samples were collected from accessible locations to determine the presence/absence of ACMs in the on-site building materials. The reported results indicate that non -friable ACMs are present within the window caulking, and pipe insulation straights and elbows. Refer to Figure 1 for the location of the identified ACMs within the building. This Designated Substance Survey was undertaken as a precursor to potential future building renovations. The identified ACMs shall be removed by a qualified contractor following applicable Type 1 and Type 3 procedures as outlined by O. Reg. 278/05 (as amended). If suspect ACM, not reported to have been sampled and analyzed for asbestos content, are encountered in concealed areas (i.e., within wall cavities, pipe chases, etc.), these materials shall be managed as ACM unless deemed otherwise through sampling and analysis for asbestos content as per O. Reg. 278/05. Any removal or handling of ACM shall be completed as per O. Reg. 278/05 and as outlined in the Ministry of Labour's guide entitled "A Guide to the Regulation Respecting Asbestos on Construction Projects and in Buildings and Repair Operations" (May 2011). Any asbestos waste removed from the site should be handled, transported, and disposed of in accordance with Section 17 of Reg. 347/90. 6.2 Silica (Free Crystalline) The concrete floor slab, plaster walls and concrete foundations are expected to have the potential to contain silica. Should materials potentially containing silica be disturbed (i.e., through coring of new holes, resurfacing, saw cutting), the potential for silica exposure should be evaluated as part of the health and safety plan to ensure the TWA limit for crystalline silica of 0.10 mg/m3 in the quartz/tripoli form and 0.05 mg/m3 in the cristobalite form is not exceeded as per Ontario Regulation 490/09. The potential for silica exposure should be evaluated based on the project -specific activities. The future potential building renovations could potentially include the saw - cutting or core drilling of concrete building sections increasing the potential for the creation of inhalable silica particles. It is noted that the potential for crystalline silica exposure above the TWA is difficult to predict and is dependent on a number of variables such as the environment the work is being conducted in, ventilation, level of disturbance, concentration of silica in materials, matrix of material, type and duration of activity being conducted, and on the implementation of typical dust control measures. However, where materials suspected to contain silica are present, the measures and procedures as outlined in the Ministry of Labour Guideline entitled "Silica on Construction Projects" (April 2011) should be applied. 6.3 Lead Lead containing paints have been identified in throughout the building interior. As noted in Section 5.3, there are no Canadian or Ontario regulatory criteria regarding the concentration of lead in materials for the purposes of workers who may come in contact with the lead containing materials or abatement requirements if lead containing paint is present. However, where lead containing paint may become airborne, the measures and procedures as outlined in the Ministry of Labour Guideline entitled "Lead on Construction PAGE 9OF11 @M, : -Plan ENGINEERING DESIGNATED SUBSTANCE SURVEY 16 - 20 QUEEN STREET NORTH, KITCHENER, ON GMBP FILE: 120122 NOVEMBER 2020 Projects" (April 2011) should be applied and the potential for lead exposure should be addressed as part of the health and safety plan to ensure exposure to a worker does not exceed the TWA limit of 0.05 mg/m3 as per O. Reg. 490/09. Soldered copper water piping was observed within the site building. Lead containing solder is assumed to be present within the piping connections. The potential for risk to exposure with the lead containing pipe solder is considered to be low. It is anticipated that the copper plumbing within the building would be removed during future building renovations. 6.4 Mercury Mercury contained in thermostats and fluorescent lamps can be released into the environment if they are damaged or broken. A number of fluorescent light tubes were observed in the building. Any handling of mercury containing materials should be completed with care and, at the end of their service life, be disposed in accordance with Reg. 347/90. Mercury containing thermostats can be disposed of at a local heating, ventilation and air conditioning retailer who participates in the national Thermostat Recovery Program. 6.5 PCBs Potential sources of PCBs include electric ballasts found within fluorescent light fixtures.
