REPORT HIGHLIGHTS: • The purpose of this report is to present staff's recommendation on the proposed construction of a new 19 -storey residential building detailed in HPA-2022-V-015. • The key finding of this report is that the consideration of this heritage permit application is premature at this time and staff do not have enough information to determine whether the proposed development conforms to the policies used to review new development within the Civic Centre Neighborhood Heritage Conservation District. • There are no financial implications associated with this report. • Community engagement includes posting this report and associated agenda in advance of the meeting and consultation with the Heritage Kitchener Committee. • This report supports the delivery of core services. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Heritage Permit Application HPA-2022-V-015 proposes the construction of a new nineteen - (19) storey residential building in the Civic Centre Neighborhood Heritage Conservation District. An Official Plan Amendment and a Zoning By-law Amendment for the proposed development were submitted in 2020. These applications have been appealed and are now under consideration by the Ontario Land Tribunal. A Site Plan Application has not yet been submitted. Due to this, the zoning, land use, and design of the proposed development have not been finalized and approved. Therefore, staff do not have enough information to recommend approval of the subject heritage permit application. *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance.

The subject property is currently being used as a surface parking lot. Page 6 of 379 Figure 2: 22 Weber Street West, 2022 The subject property is located within the Civic Centre Neighborhood Heritage Conservation District (CCNHCD) and is designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act. Civic Centre Neighborhood Heritage Conservation District The CCNHCD is an important historical residential neighborhood that can be linked to several key periods in the development of the City of Kitchener. This neighborhood helps tell the story of Kitchener's phenomenal growth at the turn of the 19th century and of the development of its extensive industrial sector. Almost two-thirds of the existing houses were built between 1880 and 1917 and were mostly occupied by owners, managers, or workers for some of the key industries that defined the community at the turn of the century. The heritage attributes of the CCNHCD include: • Its association with important business and community leaders during a key era of development in Kitchener; • A wealth of well maintained, finely detailed buildings from the late 1800s and early 1900s that are largely intact; • A number of unique buildings, including churches and commercial buildings, which provide distinctive landmarks within and at the edges of the District; Page 7 of 379 • A significant range of recognizable architectural styles (Queen Anne, Berlin Vernacular, Italianate, etc.) and features including attic gable roofs, decorative trim, brick construction, porches, and other details, associated with the era in which they were developed; • The presence of an attractive and consistent streetscape linked by mature trees, grassed boulevards and Ianeways; and • Hibner Park, Kitchener's second oldest city park, in the centre of the District. Proposed Development at 22 Weber Street West The proposed development involves the construction of a new nineteen (19) -storey multiple residential building on the subject property (Fig. 3). This building is proposed to have a total of 162 units, and 24 parking spaces. A M Figure 3: Proposed front (south) elevation. There are a number of proposed materials for this construction: - White stone cladding with glass panels for the podium; - Mixed Red Brick for the upper levels; - Glass spandrel panels, and clear curtain wall glazing with clear anodized aluminum. Matters before the Ontario Land Tribunal The current zoning and official plan designation for the site do not permit the proposed development. A Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) application and an Official Plan Amendment (OPA) application were submitted to the City in 2020. Supporting studies, plans, and documents were submitted in support of the application, including a draft Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA), a Shadow Study, proposed design renderings, a proposed site plan, conceptual floor plans, and an Urban Design Brief. Before a decision could be made Page 8 of 379 by Kitchener City Council with respect to the OPA and ZBA applications, the Applicant appealed both for non -decision. These OLT appeals have not been withdrawn or resolved, and accordingly, the zoning and land use of the subject property has not been finalized or approved. Site Plan Application Through the Site Plan review process, heritage planning staff have the opportunity to implement urban design policies from the Official Plan and Urban Design Manual, as well as the policies and guidelines within the CCNHCD to ensure that any new development has appropriate massing, is compatible, and respects the character of the area. As part of the Site Plan review process, staff can include a number of cultural heritage conditions as part of a conditional approval letter that need to be fulfilled at various stages of development. This allows for a comprehensive review of the proposed development to ensure the final concept is compatible and sympathetic with the character of the area. An informal site plan was submitted to the City as part of the ZBA and OPA application, and a second informal site plan was submitted as part of this heritage permit application. The applicant has not submitted a formal site plan application pursuant to section 41 of the Planning Act for review by the City. Once a site plan application is submitted, elevations, landscaping, and other features of the site plan application may change through the site plan review process which may result in changes to or resubmission of the heritage permit. Without a formally submitted site plan, the heritage permit application is premature. Draft Heritage Impact Assessment for 22 Weber Street A draft HIA (November 2021) has been submitted to the City with the heritage permit application (Attachment B). The HIA assessed potential impacts of the proposed development on the CCNHCD, and immediate adjacent heritage resources. The draft HIA concluded that the proposed development will not result in any adverse impacts related to obstruction, isolation, change in land use, or shadows. The proposed development is considered a neutral impact to the adjacent heritage resources within the CCNHCD, located along Weber Street West and Roy Street. At this time, the HIA is still in the draft stage and has not been approved by the Director of Planning. Conformity with the CCHNCHD Policies The CCNHCD Plan contains policies for new buildings within the district, as well as for area - specific policies and guidelines in the CCNHCD. Section 3.3.3 of the CCNCHCD Plan includes the following broad policies for new buildings: (a) New buildings will respect and be compatible with the heritage character of the Civic Centre Neighborhood, through attention to height, built form, setback, massing, material, and other architectural elements such as doors, windows, roof lines; and (b) Deign guidelines provided in Section 6.6 of this Plan will be used to review and evaluate proposals for new buildings to ensure that new developments is compatible with the adjacent context. Page 9 of 379 There are also site-specific policies within the CCNHCD, which are meant to guide alterations and new development. Section 3.3.5.2 contains policies relevant to the Weber Street Area, which are: (a) The protection and retention of existing buildings and their architectural features is strongly encouraged. (b) Maintain residential streetscape character through the use of appropriate built form, materials, roof pitches, architectural design and details particularly at the interface between Weber Street and the interior of the neighborhood; (c) Adaptive re -use of existing buildings should be given priority over redevelopment. Flexibility in Municipal Plan policies and zoning regulations is encouraged where necessary to accommodate appropriate adaptive reuse options; (d) Where redevelopment is proposed on vacant or underutilized sites, new development shall be sensitive to and compatible with adjacent heritage resources on the street with respect to height, massing, built form, and materials. (e) Any buildings proposed over 5 storeys in height may be required to undertake shadow studies where they abut existing residential uses, to demonstrate that they will not unreasonably impact on access to sunlight in rear yard amenity areas. (f) Design guidelines proposed Section 6.9.2 of this Plan (this is a typo in the Plan, the section number is 6.9.4) will be used to review and evaluate proposals for major alterations, additions, or new buildings to ensure that new development is compatible with the adjacent context. The conformity of the proposed development with the policies within Section 6.9.4 has been summarized in the table below. Page 10 of 379 Section 6.9.4 of the CCNHCD Design Guideline Conformity of the Proposed Development Any infill on Weber Street should maintain a The H IA states that the "proposed strong relationship to the street at the lower development includes a large front entrance levels (2 to 4 storeys) with respect to built with glazing and masonry facing Weber form and use. Street West. This front entrance has been emphasized at the pedestrian level through the use of a 2 -storey masonry podium." Since a site plan application has not been approved for this application, the design of the podium might be subject to change. At this time, staff do not have enough or clear information regarding whether the proposed development will maintain a strong relationship to the street at the lower level. Setbacks of new development should be 18 Weber Street West and 28 Weber Street consistent with adjacent buildings. Where West are adjacent to the subject property. significantly different setbacks exist on 18 Weber Street West has a setback of 12.6 either side, the new building should be metres and 28 Weber Street West has a aligned with the building that is most similar setback of 7.2 metres. to the predominant setback on the street. The site plan that has been included in the draft HIA that has been submitted with this heritage permit application shows a setback of approximately 2.5 metres. The site plan that was submitted with the Zoning By-law Amendment Application shows a setback of approximately 0.8 metres. Building facades at the street level should The proposed development includes a incorporate architectural detail, similar contemporary design with a 2 -storey materials and colours, and consistency with masonry podium and upper storeys of glass the vertical and horizontal proportions or curtain wall and red brick. rhythm of adjacent/nearby buildings on the street to establish a cohesive streetscape. Detailed building elevation review occurs at the site plan review stage and the City has not received a site plan application. At this time, staff are unable to comment on whether the proposed development would establish a cohesive streetscape. New development shall have entrances The entrance to the proposed development oriented to the street is oriented towards Weber Street West. Page 11 of 379 Size, placement, and proportion of window and door openings for new buildings or additions should be generally consistent with those on the other buildings along the street. Any new buildings taller than 3 to 4 storeys should incorporate some form of height transition or stepbacks to minimize the perception of height and shadow impacts to pedestrians on the street and provide more visual continuity. Stepbacks should be minimum of 2 metres to provide for useable outdoor terraces for the upper levels. Any buildings taller than 5 storeys abutting a residential property to the rear should be constructed within a 45 -degree angular plane where feasible, starting from the rear property line, to minimize visual impacts on adjacent property owners. To minimize impacts on properties to the rear of or flanking Weber Street, a rear yard setback of 15 metres should be maintained for new buildings as well as additions where feasible. According to the draft HIA submitted with this heritage permit application, the proposed design "includes various sizes of rectangular and square shaped windows and balconies in a consistent rhythm". Detailed building elevation occurs at the site plan review stage and the City has not received a site plan application. As such, staff do not have enough information at this time to determine whether the proposed development satisfies this guideline. According to the renderings included in the draft HIA, a portion of the upper storeys have a stepback from the podium, specially on the front fagade. Detailed building elevation occurs at the site plan review stage and the City has not received a site plan application. Since there is no approved site plan for this application, the proposed design is subject to change. As such, staff do not have enough information at this time to determine whether the proposed development satisfies this guideline. The HIA includes that the angular plan analysis has been taken from the centre of Roy Street, as opposed to the rear property line. The rear yard setback will be determined in consideration of the CCNHCD angular plane analysis, applicable zoning requirements, and tall building guidelines at the site plan review stage. As such, staff do not have enough information to determine if the proposed angular plane analysis is sufficient at this time. The proposed rear year setback of the proposed development is 15.9 m, as shown in the site plan that was submitted with this application. The rear yard setback will be determined in consideration of the CCNHCD angular plane analysis, applicable zoning Page 12 of 379 Heritage Planning Comments In reviewing this application, heritage planning staff make the following comments: • The subject property municipally addressed as 22 Weber Street West is located within the CCNHCD and is designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act; • The subject property is currently used as a surface parking lot; • The City received ZBA and OPA applications for the proposed development, which were appealed and are now under consideration by the OLT; • A formal Site Plan Application has also not been submitted to the City for consideration; • At this time, due to the zoning, land use, and the design of the site not being approved, staff do not have enough information to recommend approval of this heritage permit application.

Box 1118, Kitchener ON N2G 4G7 519-741-2426; planningCu)-kitchener.ca PART A: SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS Page 1 of 10 The following requirements are designed to assist applicants in submitting sufficient information in order that their Heritage Permit Application may be deemed complete and processed as quickly and efficiently as possible. If further assistance or explanation is required please contact heritage planning staff at heritage(ukitchener.ca. 1. WHAT IS A HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION? The Province of Ontario, through the Ontario Heritage Act, has enacted legislation to assist its citizens with the protection and conservation of cultural heritage resources. Once properties are designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, the City is enabled to manage physical change to the cultural heritage resources as a means of protection. The principal mechanism of management is the Heritage Permit Application process, which allows the municipality to review site-specific applications and determine if proposed changes will beneficially or detrimentally affect the reasons for designation and heritage attributes. As a general rule, the preferred alterations to heritage properties are those that repair rather than replace original heritage attributes, and those that do not permanently damage cultural heritage resources and their heritage attributes. Where replacement of materials or new construction is necessary, these should be compatible with the original. Reversibility is also preferable as this allows for the future reinstatement of heritage attributes. According to the Ontario Heritage Act, no owner of designated property shall alter the property or permit the alteration of the property if the alteration is likely to affect the property's heritage attributes, unless the owner applies to the council of the municipality and receives written consent. This consent is obtained through the approval of a Heritage Permit Application. Heritage Permit Applications are applicable for all individually designated properties (under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act) and all properties located within the boundaries of Heritage Conservation Districts (designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act). 2. WHEN IS A HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION REQUIRED? Under the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, any new construction or "alteration" to a property designated under Part IV of the Act (individually designated property) or a property designated under Part V of the Act (within a Heritage Conservation District) requires a Heritage Permit Application. "Alteration" is defined as: "to change in any manner and includes to restore, renovate, repair or disturb." In addition, the approval of a Heritage Permit Application is required for any demolition of a property designated under Part IV or V of the Act. Please contact Heritage Planning staff directly to confirm if your specific project requires the approval of a Heritage Permit Application. Below are some examples of typical Part IV alterations that may require a Heritage Permit Application: • Addition and/or alteration to an existing building or accessory building • Replacement of windows or doors, or a change in window or door openings • Change in siding, soffit, fascia or roofing material • Removal and/or installation of porches, verandahs and canopies • Removal and/or installation of cladding and chimneys • Changes in trim, cladding, or the painting of masonry • Repointing of brick Working together • Growing thoughtfully • Building community rage 2022 Page 2 of 10 Note: Heritage Permit Application requirements differ between Part V designations depending on the policies and guidelines of the respective Heritage Conservation District Plans. Please refer to the City of Kitchener's website at www.kitchener.ca/heritage to download a copy of the relevant Heritage Conservation District Plan (Civic Centre Neighbourhood, St. Mary's, Upper Doon, and Victoria Park Area). 3. WHAT INFORMATION IS REQUIRED WITH A HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION? The information required varies with each application. The intent of the application is to ensure that Heritage Planning staff and, where required, the Heritage Kitchener committee understand the specific details of any proposed changes in order to be sufficiently informed so they may offer advice to the applicant and, where required, to City Council. An incomplete application cannot be processed and the official notice of receipt (as required under the Ontario Heritage Act) will not be issued until all of the documents have been submitted. Failure to provide a complete application may result in deferral by Heritage Planning staff or the Heritage Kitchener committee in order to secure additional information, which will delay final approval. At minimum, the following information is required: Heritage Permit Application Form The applicant must provide a complete original copy, including signature of the owner, of the Heritage Permit Application Form. Written Description The applicant must provide a complete written description of all proposed work. The description should complement drawings, detailed construction plans, photos and any other sketches or supporting information submitted with the application. The written description must include a list and the details of all proposed work including, but not limited to, proposed colours, materials, sizes, etc. Construction and Elevation Drawings Along with construction elevation drawings (drawn to scale) the applicant may also, but not in lieu of, submit a sketch of the proposed work made over a photograph. Drawings must be drawn to scale and include: a) Overall dimensions b) Site plan depicting the location of existing buildings and the location of any proposed new building or addition to a building c) Elevation plan for each elevation of the building d) Specific sizes of building elements of interest (signs, windows, awnings, etc.) e) Detailed information including trim, siding, mouldings, etc., including sizes and profiles f) Building materials to be used (must also be included in the written description) g) Construction methods and means of attachment (must also be included in the written description) Some of the above components may be scoped or waived at the discretion of Heritage Planning staff following discussion with the applicant. Photographs Photographs of the building including general photos of the property, the streetscape in which the property is located, facing streetscape and, if the property is located at an intersection, all four corners. Photos of the specific areas that may be affected by the proposed alteration, new construction, or demolition must be included. Electronic copies of construction and elevation drawings, sketches, and photographs, along with hard copies submitted with the application, are encouraged. Working together • Growing thoughtfully • Building community rage 2022 Samples Page 3 of 10 It is recommended that applicants bring samples of the materials to be used to the Heritage Kitchener meeting when their application is to be considered. This may include a sample of the windows, brick, siding, roofing material, as well as paint chips to identify proposed paint colours. Other Required Information In some circumstances Heritage Planning staff may require additional information, such as a Heritage Impact Assessment or Conservation Plan, to support the Heritage Permit Application. The requirement for additional information will be identified as early on in the Heritage Permit Application process as possible. Pre - consultation with Heritage Planning staff before formal submission of a Heritage Permit Application is strongly encouraged. 4. WHAT CAN I DO IF MY HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION IS DENIED? City of Kitchener Heritage Planning staff and the Heritage Kitchener committee endeavour to come to solutions for every Heritage Permit Application submitted. Discussions with the applicant and revisions usually result in successful applications. However, if the municipality refuses your application and you choose not to resolve the issue with a revised application, you have the option of appealing the decision to the Conservation Review Board (for alterations to designated properties under Part IV) or the Ontario Municipal Board (for demolition of property designated under Part IV or for any work to designated property under Part V). 5. IMPORTANT NOTES Professional Assistance Although it is not a requirement to obtain professional assistance in the preparation of this information, the applicant may wish to seek such assistance from an architect, architectural technologist, draftsperson or others familiar with the assessment of buildings and the gathering together of building documents. Building Codes and Other By-laws It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure compliance with all other applicable legislation, regulations and by-laws.

Provincial Policy Statement (2020) November2027 MHBC 14 Page 29 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener Acknowledgement of Indigenous Communities This Heritage Impact Assessment acknowledges that the subject property located at 22 Weber Street West of the City of Kitchener, is situated territory of the Haudenosaunee, of the Haudenosauneega Confederacy. These lands are acknowledged as being associated with the following treaties: • Treaty of the Haldimand Tract, Established 1793 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. November2027 MHBC 15 Page 30 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener EXECUTIVE SUMMARY MHBC was retained by 30 Duke Street Ltd. to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for the subject property located at 22 Weber Street West. The purpose of this Heritage Impact Assessment is to evaluate the proposed development in terms of potential impacts to cultural heritage resources and provide mitigation recommendations, where necessary. The proposed development includes the construction of a 19 storey multiple residential building on a lot currently used as surface parking. The proposed new building does not include the demolition or alteration of any cultural heritage resources located on-site or adjacent. As the proposed new building is located within the Civic Centre Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District, any new development is subject to the policies of the CCNHCD Plan. SUMMARY OF IMPACT ANALYSIS: The CCNHCD Plan recognizes that Weber Street is different from the interior of the district and sets forth policies for new development which are specific to this area. The Plan recognizes that Weber Street West is designated High Density Commercial Residential. The Plan allows for higher density developments provided that it a) does not result in the demolition of significant cultural heritage resources is and b) is compatible with the character of the streetscape. This Heritage Impact Assessment has demonstrated that the character Weber Street West is varied and includes buildings of a higher scale than that of the interior of the district. The proposed new 19 storey residential building is taller than that of buildings located adjacent (contiguous), but maximises density while respecting adjacent cultural heritage resources and conforming to the policies of the HCD Plan. The Heritage Conservation District Plan does not apply maximum height limits for development within the Weber Street Area. Instead the HCD Plan identifies a number of policies and guidelines that govern the development of new buildings. The proposed development is consistent with these policies and guidelines as follows: • The proposed new building is contemporary in style and includes materials such as neutral toned masonry; • The building includes a 2 story main entrance/podium which emphasizes the pedestrian scale; November2021 MHBC 16 Page 31 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener • The contemporary design includes a symmetrical arrangement of square and rectangular shaped windows in a regularly established rhythm which will not detract from the buildings located adjacent at 18 Weber Street West and 28 Weber Street West; and • The height of the proposed new building is within the 45 degree angular plane as per the analysis provided in Appendix B of this report. The proposed development will not result in any adverse impacts related to obstruction, isolation, change in land use, or shadows. The proposed development is considered a neutral impact to adjacent heritage resources within the Civic Centre Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District (CCNHCD) located along Weber Street West and Roy Street. There is potential for impacts to adjacent buildings as a result of construction activities. Mitigation recommendations for the proposed development are limited to monitoring potential vibration impacts, if necessary. Note to the Reader., The purpose of this executive summary is to highlight key aspects of this report and therefore does not elaborate on other components. Please note that this report is intended to be read in its entirety in order to gain a full understanding of its contents. November2021 MHBC 17 Page 32 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener .O INTRODUCTION MHBC was retained by 30 Duke Street Limited to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for the subject property located at 22 Weber Street West. The Heritage Impact Assessment is required by the City of Kitchener as the subject property is included within the boundary of the Civic Centre Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District. The purpose of this Heritage Impact Assessment is to evaluate the proposed development in terms of potential impacts to cultural heritage resources, including adjacent properties within the Civic Centre Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District. The subject property is currently used as surface parking and as such, this HIA is focused on potential impacts to adjacent lands and evaluates the proposal in the context of the policies for new buildings provided in the Civic Centre Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District (CCNHCD) Plan. This report has been prepared as input to the planning application and development proposal. The background information and research has provided direction on the redevelopment concept. This report evaluates the proposal in the context of the City's policy framework and Provincial policy. 1.1 LOCATION OF SUBJECT PROPERTY The subject property is located at 22 Weber Street West and is situated on the north side of Weber Street West, between Queen Street North and Young Street (see below). November2021 MHBC 18 Page 33 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener r • ^ x ' Aerial Photo LEGEND 22 Weber Street West. E_,] Subject Lands Kitchener.

The CCNHCD Plan recognizes that this property is vacant, and does not include any features which contribute to the character of the HCD or the Weber Street West streetscape. The CCNHCD Plan qualifies properties in terms of their cultural heritage value and classifies them in groups (i.e. "A", "B", "C", and "D"). The CCNHCD Plan does not assign a classification to the subject property as it does not include any cultural heritage resources. As such, the property has not been evaluated in this report under the criteria of Ontario Regulation 9/06 for determining cultural heritage value or interest. 1.2.2 Adjacent Lands The City of Kitchener Official Plan identifies that a Heritage Impact Assessment shall include consideration for cultural heritage resources on adjacent lands. The City of Kitchener Official Plan defines adjacent as follows: Adjacent - lands, buildings and/or structures that are contiguous or that are directly opposite to other lands, buildings and/or structures, separated only by a Janeway, municipal road or other right-of-way. For the purpose of this Heritage Impact Assessment, the above -noted policies of the City of Kitchener Official Plan identify that the following properties are technically located adjacent to the proposed development and should be included in the scope of this report: • 32 Weber Street West; • 35 Roy Street; • 31 Roy Street; • 27 Roy Street; • 23 Roy Street; • 18 Weber Street West; and • 28 Weber Street West. The property located at 22 Weber Street West is located adjacent to the properties at 18 Weber Street West and 28 Weber Street West and shares a street frontage with these properties. As a result, November2021 MHBC 110 Page 35 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener this forms the most direct relationship between any proposed new building and adjacent cultural heritage resources. Therefore, this HIA focuses on impacts to properties located at 28 Weber Street West, 18 Weber Street West, and provides an analysis of potential impacts to properties located on the south side of Roy Street.

(Source: CCNHCD Plan, Figure 3) 1.3 LAND USE AND ZONING The subject lands are designated High Density Commercial Residential as per the Civic Centre Neighbourhood Secondary Plan (see Figure 2). This designation recognizes the proximity of the subject lands to downtown Kitchener (Urban Growth Centre) as well as the property's frontage on Weber Street, which is a Regional Arterial Road and has been designated as a Planned Transit Corridor.

Approximate location of subject lands noted in red. (Source: Kitchener Public Library) The "High Density Commercial Residential" designation permits a range of residential, commercial and retail uses within free standing buildings or mixed use buildings. Official Plan policies provide for a maximum floor space ratio of 4.0 and permit high density residential development. Approved Official Plan policies have been implemented by the Commercial Residential 3 Zone (CR -3) of By- law 85-1. The subject property backs onto lots on the south side of Roy Street. As shown in Figure 2, the lands on the south side of Roy Street are designated Office Residential Conversion. The Office Residential Conversion designation permits a range of residential uses and office commercial uses including private home day care, home business, and hospice. The intent of the Office Residential Conversion designation is to provide a transition from the high density development on Weber Street to the low-rise residential uses located internal to the Civic Centre Neighbourhood.

In Section 2, the Planning Act outlines 18 spheres of provincial interest that must be considered by appropriate authorities in the planning process. One of the intentions of The PlanningAct is to "encourage the co-operation and co-ordination among the various interests". Regarding cultural heritage, Subsection 2(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 othermatters, matters of provincial interestsuch as,... (d) the conservation of features of significant architectural, cultural, historical, archaeological orscientific interest; The Planning Act therefore provides for the overall broad consideration of cultural heritage resources through the land use planning process. In support of the provincial interest identified in Subsection 2 (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: 2.6.7 Significant built heritage resources and significant cultural heritage landscapes shall be conserved. Significant: e) in regard to cultural heritage and archaeology, resources that have been determined to have cultural heritage value or interest. Processes and criteria for determining cultural November2021 MHBC 114 Page 39 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener heritage value or interest are established by the Province under the authority of the Ontario Heritage Act. The subject property located at 22 Weber Street West is considered protected heritage property under Provincial Policy Statement as all lands within the boundary of the Civic Centre Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District are designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act and are considered significant cultural heritage resources. 2.2 ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT The Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O, 1990, c.0.18 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 9/06 of the Ontario Heritage Act outlines the mechanism for determining cultural heritage value or interest. The Ontario Heritage Act provides the framework of legislation for the designation of Heritage Conservation Districts. The Ontario Heritage Act also requires that all development within the heritage conservation district must be consistent with the heritage conservation district plan. Section 42 (1) of the Ontario Heritage Act prescribes that no owner of property in a designated Heritage Conservation District may alter any part of a property or erect or demolish a building without obtaining approval from the municipality by way of a heritage permit. 2.3 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 fol lows: 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, November2021 MHBC 115 Page 40 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener 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, other government 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, theArea Municipality will ensure that a copy of the assessment is circulated to the Region for review.

The City will prepare guidelines as part of the Urban Design Manual to address the conservation of cultural heritage resources in the city and to recognize the importance of the context in which the cultural heritage resources are located. 72.C.7.47. 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. 2.5 CMC CENTRE NEIGHBOURHOOD HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT PLAN (2007) The subject property located at 22 Weber Street West is located within the boundary of the Civic Centre Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District (CCNHCD) Plan, which was designated in 2007 under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act. Section 1.2 of the CCNHCD Plan identifies that its purpose is as follows, ... to protect, over the long term, areas that hove important and/or identifiable historic and architectural resources. While the subject property is vacant, any new construction must comply with the policies of the CCNHCD Plan. The purpose of policies for new development on vacant lands is to ensure that it is compatible with the character of the area and impacts to the District are minimized or avoided. The CCNHCD Plan recognizes that there are distinctly different areas within the HCD. One of these distinctly different areas identified in the HCD Plan includes Weber Street. The CCNHCD Plan provides policies specific to the Weber Street Corridor, which is recognized as being designated High Density Commercial Residential. Section 7.0 of this Heritage Impact Assessment analyzes the conformity of the proposed development with the applicable policies of the CCNHCD Plan, including Sections 3.3.5.2 and 6.9.4. 2.6 PARTS CENTRAL PLAN This Heritage Impact Assessment acknowledges that the subject property located at 22 Weber Street West is included in lands identified in the PARTS Central Plan as Mixed Use Medium Density November2021 MHBC 118 Page 43 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener with policies and guidelines for transition between Weber Street and Roy Street. This Plan provides guidelines regarding appropriate development. Section 7.0 of the PARTS Central Plan regarding Cultural Heritage Resources identifies the following as it relates to the scope of this HIA, For development involving new building activity on or adjacent heritage property, the built form including scale, height, massing, architectural character and materials, should be compatible with the surrounding historic context. It is not expected that development replicate historical styles and decoration. However, new buildings must be able to demonstrate complementary proportions and massing in order to continue the rhythm of traditional facade or street patterns and provide for an appropriate transition where significantly higher densities are proposed. Section 8.0 of the PARTS Central Plan identifies the following as it relates to cultural heritage and transitioning, The conservation and integration of heritage buildings, structures and uses within a Heritage Conservation District should be achieved through appropriately scaled development that is sensitive to the built cultural heritage. Where Medium Density Mixed Use land designation abuts low rise residential uses, the bulk of the massing in the Mixed use designation should abut the street thereby providing a maximum separation between the adjacent low density uses. Given that the subject property is located within the Civic Centre Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District Plan, this HIA refers to the policies provided therein as it relates to the proposed development. The PARTS Central Plan is not a Policy document and implementation will be the updated Secondary Plans which are under review. 2.7 CITY OF KITCHENER TERMS OF REFERENCE, HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENTS The City of Kitchener Official Plan provides the following as it relates to the requirements for Heritage Impact Assessments: November2021 MHBC 119 Page 44 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener Heritage Impact Assessments and Heritage Conservation Plans 72.C.7.23.

November2021 MHBC 121 Page 46 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener 3,013ACKGROUND RESEARCH AND HISTORICAL CONTEXT 3.1 CIVIC CENTRE NEIGHBOURHOOD The Civic Centre Neighbourhood was developed in the 19th and 20th centuries as a residential area adjacent to Kitchener's former industrial core located south of the railway, providing homes for those who owned or work for businesses/factories in the area. The earliest residential buildings date from the 1850s, with the majority constructed between 1880 and 1915. The area developed slowly, experiencing significant infill in the late 1920s. The construction of apartment buildings dotted the neighbourhood beginning in the 1960s. The neighbourhood reflects the long development of the area from the 1850s to the recent past with a variety of housing styles. According to the 1853-1854 Map of Berlin surveyed by M.C. Schofield, the subject lands were part of a large vacant parcel of land extending north towards what is now Margaret Avenue (See Figure 4). November2027 MHBC 122 Page 47 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener A �f_ F f� Figure 4: Detail of M.C. Schofield map of Berlin, 1853. Approximate location of subject lands denoted in red. (Source: Kitchener Public Library) According to the 1875 Bird's Eye View map, the context of the subject lands had changed considerably from 1853. New buildings are noted along Weber Street West, and Ahrens Street was extended towards Queen Street North. Some of the buildings noted on this map at the north side of Weber Street West, west of Queen Street North were demolished at some point to facilitate the construction of existing buildings, including the existing St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church at 54 Queen Street North. The building noted on the subject lands was likely the house constructed for Charles H. Ahrens.

(Source: Kitchener Public Library) According to the 1879 map, the context of the subject property is confirmed as Parcel 5 of Ahrens Survey, which was registered in the later half of the 19th century by Charles H. Ahrens. The 1879 map indicates that St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church had been constructed at the north-west corner of Queen Street North and Weber Street West. The subject property is noted as including a building owned by Mrs. Ahrens' (widow of Charles H. Ahrens). According to land registry records, the Executors of Mrs. Ahrens sold to George Potter in 1906. The descendants of Potter sold to James K. Sims and Albert W. Boos "as Trustees" (likely for the church) in 1956. The legal description of the property refers to Instrument No. 917350, when the property was sold by Marathon Realty Co. in 1987. At this time, the property was valued at $550,000.00. The CCNHCD study identifies that the existing building located at 18 Weber Street West (adjacent to the subject lands) was constructed for Herbert J. Bowman in 1896 (on Parcel 4 of Ahrens survey). ' Also spelled "Aherns" November 2021 MHBC 124 Page 49 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener This property is noted as being vacant on the 1879 map (See Figure 6). The existing building located at 28 Weber Street West (adjacent property to the west of the subject lands) was constructed in the 1870s for John Moffatt (Parcel 6, Ahrens Survey). This building is clearly visible on the map below, west of Parcel 5. The CCNHCD Study identifies that the Zion Evangelical Church was not constructed until 1893. low PF 14�V M# d -J Figure 6: Detail of the 1879 Bird's Eye View map of Berlin.

Laneways are found throughout the District, which reflect the historic pattern of movement. Yards are well maintained and often display plantings, trees, fences, and hedges. Public parks are dotted throughout the CCNHCD, including Hibner Park and Civic Centre Park, both of which are located west of the subject lands (CCNHCD Plan, 2007). The District contains a range of architectural styles, reflecting the development of the area beginning in the mid. 19th century. The neighbourhood includes buildings in the vernacular style of architecture, reflecting local influences and materials. Overall, the landscape and setting contribute to tell the story of Kitchener's growth at the turn of the 19th century and the development of local industry (CCNHCD Plan, 2007). The CCNHCD Study and Plan recognize that the District is made-up of different areas which have unique character. These areas are located at the perimeter of the District and are intended to incorporate higher density developments along Victoria Street and Weber Street, for example. The following (Section 4.2) provides a description of the character of Weber Street. November2021 MHBC 128 Page 53 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener 4.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE WEBER STREET STREETSCAPE The existing built form of Weber Street West (within the CCNHCD boundary) is a result of its evolution over time. Weber Street West includes 19th century residential buildings as well as 20th century developments. The 19th century buildings were formerly surrounded by landscaped open space, which has, in some cases, been converted to large areas of surface parking. Weber Street has been widened and as a result, does not reflect the same intimate streetscape as that of the residential streets at the interior of the district. The addition of 20th century buildings having a range of uses including residential, institutional and commercial transformed this area from primarily residential to that of mixed-use. As a result, the existing built form of Weber Street West includes a range of architectural styles, scale/heights, and setbacks and there is no consistent built form. The late 19th and early 20th century buildings (i.e. adjacent churches and residential buildings at 18 Weber Street West and 28 Weber Street West) are constructed of masonry in a range of colours. These buildings share a commonality in terms of materials and continue to support the overall varied nature of the streetscape in terms of its built form. The south side of Weber Street West is designated as part of Downtown Kitchener and as a result, includes higher density contemporary developments than that of the north side, which includes a range of low to medium density buildings. Figure 9 — View of Weber Street West, looking east from Ontario Street North (Source: MHBC, 2020) November2021 MHBC 129 Page 54 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener Figure X - View of Weber Street West, looking west near intersection of Weber Street West and Ontario Street North (Source: MHBC, 2020) The CCNHCD HCD Study acknowledges that the context of Weber Street is distinctly different than that of any other area. Section 4.6 of the Study provides the following description of Weber Street, CCNHCD Study, Section 4.6, Streets and Lanes, Weber Street, particularly in proximity to Victoria Street, contains many buildings of the same character as Victoria Street. Traffic is not as fast paced on Weber Street, and is not as heavy as on Victoria. There are also no boulevards on Weber Street, and the street is noticeably devoid of street trees. Although the absence of trees and grassed boulevards sets the street apart from the interior of the district, both Weber and Water Streets differ from Victoria in terms of scale and intimacy. The vast expanse of pavement on Victoria Street creates a hostile environment for pedestrians, whereas Water and Weber Streets maintain a more pedestrian scale. The remainder of the streets in the study area often have an intimate, residential feeling to them. Many of them are tree -lined, and have a distinctively picturesque quality about them. An absence of street trees is perhaps most noticeable along the northern portion of Queen Street as well as on Water and College Streets. Section 3.3.5.2 of the CCNHCD Plan also describes the Weber Street Area as including heritage buildings which are generally larger than the rest of the District. The HCD Plan also recognizes that the streetscape includes two churches, small scale apartments (3-4 storeys), and a number of other larger residences that have been converted to multiple residential units or office/commercial uses. November2021 MHBC 130 Page 55 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener Figure 10 — View of Weber Street West looking west from Ontario Street North (west of the subject property) (Source: MHBC, 2020) While the CCNHCD Study identifies that Weber Street is distinctly different than that of the interior of the District, Section 7.1 provides the reasons for which Weber Street was included in the boundary. This includes a) the presence of a number of "well-preserved, finely detailed buildings", and b) that nearly half of the oldest buildings in the neighbourhood (constructed prior to 1879) are located on Weber Street. 4.3 DESCRIPTION OF 22 WEBER STREET WEST The subject property located at 22 Weber Street West is currently used for surface parking and does not include any built features. Section 2.4 of the CCNHCD Plan does not identify that the subject lands includes any cultural heritage resources or features which are part of the architecture, streetscape, or historical associations of the overall District.

The CCNHCD Plan identifies the existing building as 2 'h storeys, Vernacular, Constructed 1896 for H.J. Bowman. 4.4.2 Roy Street Roy Street is divided into a north and south side. The north side of the street is designated low density residential, and the south side of the street is designated Residential Office Conversion. The residential office conversion at the south side of the street serves as a buffer between the High Density Commercial Residential designation and the Low Density residential designation. The built form of Roy Street is much more consistentthan that of Weber Street West, having a narrow street, consistent heights, styles, setbacks, materials, and mature trees along the boulevard.

The following sub -sections of this report provide an analysis of the impacts which may occur as a result of a proposed development. The following impact analysis is organized into two main sections. This includes a) whether or not the proposed development is in conformity with the policies of the HCD Plan regarding new development in the Weber Street area, and b) potential impacts on adjacent properties as per the list of potential sources of impacts outlined by the MHSTCI Ontario Heritage Toolkit (provided above). 6.2 CCNHCD PLAN POLICY INTRODUCTION The CCNHCD Plan provides policies intended to guide change within the heritage conservation district. These policies include those which conserve cultural heritage resources, and those which guide compatible new development. The CCNHCD Plan provides policies specific to the Weber November2021 MHBC 142 Page 67 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener Street Corridor, which is recognized as being designated High Density Commercial Residential and different than the balance of the district. The CCNHCD Plan provides guidelines for new development along Weber Street. The following provides an analysis of impacts as a result of the proposed new 19 storey building and addresses the policies provided in the CCNHCD Plan. 6.3 IMPACT ANALYSIS: 22 WEBER STREET WEST The following analysis of impacts addresses Policies provided in the Civic Centre Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District Plan. This includes Sections 3.3.1 regarding development pattern and land use, Section 3.3.5.2 regarding policies specific to the Weber Street Area as well as Section 6.9.4 which provides specific design guidelines for new development. The following sub -sections have been organized into a) general policies of the CCNHCD Plan that apply to all development, and b) policies that apply to development in the Weber Street Area. 6.3.1 CCNHCD Plan Policies that Apply to all Development Section 3.3 of the CCNHCD Plan provides policies for conservation and change management. This includes (but is not limited to) policies related to the construction of new buildings and demolition of existing buildings. Section 3.3.1 of the CCNHCD Plan provides a response to the following policies regarding development pattern and land use. 3.3.7 Development Pattern and Land Use The vast majority of the Civic Centre Neighbourhood was originally developed as single family residential. Despite the fact that pockets of it have since been redeveloped for high-density apartment buildings, or converted to office or commercial uses, it remains a neighborhood of primarily original detached housing, 2 to 2-1/2 storeys in height on lots of sufficiently generous size that parking and driveways are generally to the side of dwellings. Setbacks of original heritage buildings are relatively uniform at the individual street level, as are building height and scale. To maintain the general consistency of the land uses and development pattern in the District, the following policies are proposed. Policies: (a) Maintain the residential amenity and human scale of the Civic Centre Neighbourhood by ensuring that the low density residential land use character remains dominant; November2021 MHBC 143 Page 68 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener The areas of the CCNHCD which are identified as being characterized as low density residential at the interior of the District will remain unchanged. The proposed development is located at the perimeter of the District. (b) New land uses in the interior of the neighbourhood that are out of keeping with the general residential character of the District, or would have a negative impact on it, are discouraged; This policy does not apply to the proposed development as the subject property is not located in the interior of the District. (c) Higher intensity uses or redevelopment opportunities should be focused at the perimeter, or outside of, the District primarily in appropriate locations in the Victoria Street Mixed Use Corridor or Weber Street; The proposed development is located at the perimeter of the District, along Weber Street which is recognized as an area designated as High Density Commercial Residential in the HCD Plan. The proposed development is therefore consistent with this policy of the CCHNCD Plan regarding development pattern and land use. (d) Where new uses or intensification is proposed, adaptive reuse of the existing heritage building stock should be considered wherever feasible; This policy does not apply as the subject property is currently surface parking and does not include any existing heritage buildings which could be considered for adaptive re -use. (e) For all areas designated as Low Rise Residential Preservation, Low Rise Multiple Residential and Low Density Multiple Residential, severances which would create new lots are strongly discouraged, unless the resulting properties are of similar size and depth to existing adjacent lots; This policy does not apply to the proposed development as it is not located in an area designated low rise residential and does not require a severance. (f) Where original detached residential buildingsare lost due to unfortunate circumstances such as severe structural instability, fire or other reasons, the setback of replacement buildings should be the same as or close to the same as the original building; November2021 MHBC 144 Page 69 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener The building previous located on the subject property was demolished prior to 1997 and its setbacks are unknown. However, the proposed 2.5 metre front yard setback of the new building is compatible with the setbacks of existing buildings located adjacent (i.e. at 18 Weber Street West and 28 Weber Street West) and is consistent with the varied setbacks which are an established as part of the streetscape along the north side of Weber Street West. As noted previously in this report, the setbacks along Weber Street West vary greatly and there is no consistent setback along the street. (g) Parking for new or replacement dwellings is to be located in driveways at the side of the dwelling or in garages at the rear of the main building whenever possible. New attached garages extending beyond the front of the dwelling are discouraged; The proposed new building includes access to parking provided at the rear via laneways at the side of the building. Parking areas do not extend beyond the front of the building. (h) Existing laneways are to be maintained to provide access to properties and to retain the historical development pattern of the neighborhood. This policy does not apply as the subject property does not include any existing laneways which are important to the historical development pattern of the neighbourhood. 6.3.2 Weber Street Area Specific Policies The CCNHCD Plan provides policies regarding site specific areas for the entirety of Weber Street West within the CCNHCD boundary. The following provides a review of how the proposed development is in conformity with the policies of the CCNHCD for the Weber Street area. 3.3.5.2 Weber Street Area Weber Street contains nearly half of the oldest buildings in the Civic Centre Neighbourhood, making it one of the most important streets in the District from an architectural and historic perspective. The size and scale of heritage buildings on Weber Street is generally larger than the rest of the District, and includes two churches, small scale apartments (3 - 4 storeys) and a number of other larger residences that have been converted to multiple residential units or office/commercial uses. The Municipal Plan designates most of the street as High Density November2021 MHBC 145 Page 70 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener Commercial Residential, with the designation extending slightly in some areas. The following policies are to apply to the whole of Weber Street within the District as well as to those sections of the High Density Commercial Residential designation that extend into the District on College and Young Streets. Policies: (a) The protection and retention of existing heritage buildings and their architectural features is strongly encouraged. This policy does not apply as the subject property is surface parking and does not include any heritage buildings or features. (b) Maintain residential streetscape character through the use of appropriate built form, materials, roof pitches, architectural design and details particularly at the interface between Weber Street and the interior of the neighbourhood; The north side of Weber Street West is characterised by uses ranging from residential, institutional, and mixed-use. It includes two large places of worship and their associated surface parking lots and purpose-built multiple residential buildings. Remaining single detached dwellings have been converted to multiple residential dwellings or non-residential uses. Asa result, the character and built form of the Weber Street area is different than the rest of the District. The use of the proposed building as a multiple residential building is consistent with the other uses on the street. The building setback from the street, the location of parking at the rear, and the building materials are consistentwith the existing character, albeit at nineteen stories the building is taller than the others in the Weber Street area. (c) Adaptive reuse of existing buildings should be given priority over redevelopment. Flexibility in Municipal Plan policies and zoning regulations is encouraged where necessary to accommodate appropriate adaptive reuse options. This policy does not apply to the redevelopment of the subject property as there is no existing heritage building located on-site which could be considered for adaptive re -use. (d) Where redevelopment is proposed on vacant or underutilized sites, new development shall be sensitive to and compatible with adjacent heritage resources on the street with respect to height, massing, built form and materials. November2021 MHBC 146 Page 71 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener �il'�i��1f11�1 Figure 18 - View of higher density development and contemporary buildings located south-east of the subject property near the intersection of Queen Street and Weber Street(Source: MHBC, 2019) The Heritage Conservation District Plan considers that tall buildings may be developed within the Weber Street Area, consistent with the Secondary Plan policies and Zoning By-law which identify this area is for high density mixed use. Taller, higher density buildings can be "compatible" with lower density developments. Compatible is not intended to mean "same as", but whether or not a taller building can co -exist with lower density developments without adverse impacts. Whether or not a new development is compatible or not is determined by the policies provided in the CCNHCD Plan. The proposed new building which is 19 storeys is of a higher density than the adjacent cultural heritage resources at 18 Weber Street West and 28 Weber Street West. The CCNHCD Plan recognizes that the character of Weber Street is different than that of the interior of the District and includes higher density developments. Further, that "...infill development fronting on Weber could potentially be compatible even if taller than 4-5 storeys." (Section 4.2.1 of the CCNHCD Plan). The proposed new building meets the policies of the CCNHCD Plan as it is a) it is located at the perimeter of the District, where higher density developments are anticipated b) is consistent with the 45 degree angular plane policy and does not result in impacts related to shadowing on rear yards. Further analysis regarding the angular plane analysis and shadows is provided in the following sections of this report. November2021 MHBC 147 Page 72 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener (e) Any buildings proposed over 5 storeys in height may be required to undertake shadow studies where they abut existing residential uses, to demonstrate that they will not unreasonably impact on access to sunlight in rear yard amenity areas. The shadow study provided in Appendix C of this report demonstrates that shadows will be cast onto abutting lands to the north. The shadows during the spring and summer are primarily cast on the adjacent Office Residential lands on the south side of Roy Street, with minimal shadows extending to the front yards of the low rise residential areas of the District during the Spring to Fall seasons. More extensive shadows will be cast during the winter season when the sun is low in the sky. Given that the tower is narrow, the shadowing on front yards on the north side of Roy Street does not last for more than a few hours. The heritage attributes are not negatively impacted and shadows do not unreasonably impact on access to sunlight in rear yard amenity areas of the residential designated lands. (f) Design guidelines provided in Section 6.9.2 of this Plan will be used to review and evaluate proposals for major alterations, additions or new buildings to ensure that new development is compatible with the adjacent context. The following provides a review of the design guidelines provided in Section 6.9.2 of the CCNHCD Plan as it relates to the proposed development. 6.9 SITE/AREA SPECIFIC DESIGN GUIDELINES There are several sites, as previously identified in the policies and implementation sections of this report, that have a distinct character and/or some development expectation or potential over the long term. To ensure that future development, should it occur, is compatible with the District, the following guidelines should be considered during the building and site design in these areas. 6.9.4 Weber Street • Any infill development on Weber Street should maintain a strong relationship to the street at the lower levels (2 to 4 storeys) with respect to built form and use. The proposed development includes a large front entrance with glazing and masonry facing Weber Street West. This front entrance has been emphasized at the pedestrian level through the use of a 2 -storey masonry podium (See Figure 17). November2021 MHBC 148 Page 73 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener • Setbacks of new development should be consistent with adjacent buildings. Where significantly different setbacks exist on either side, the new building should be aligned with the building that is most similar to the predominant setback on the street. There is no consistent front yard setback along the north side of Weber Street West. The existing building at 18 Weber Street West is setback approximately 12 metres from the street. The building at 28 Weber Street W is setback approximately 8.6 metres from the street. The proposed new building has a shallow front yard setback, which respects the two varying setbacks of these adjacent buildings and is consistent with the character of Weber Street West. • Building facades at the street level should incorporate architectural detail, similar materials and colours, and consistency with the vertical and horizontal proportions orrhythm ofadjacent /nearby buildings on the street to establish a cohesive streetscape. Weber Street West includes a range of materials, colours, and architectural styles indicative of their period of construction. Therefore, there is no consistent or dominant design standard. The two buildings located adjacent to the subject property at 18 Weber Street West and 28 Weber Street West are of the Vernacular and Second Empire architectural styles and are constructed of brick. The proposed building includes neutral shades of masonry, including red brick masonry above the podium which will reflect the adjacent buildings constructed of masonry. • Newdevelopment shall have entrances oriented to the street. The 2 storey podium and main entrance is oriented south towards Weber Street West. • Size, placement and proportion of window and door openings for new buildings or additions should be generally consistent with those on other buildings along the street. There is no consistent design in terms of placement and proportion of window and door openings along Weber Street West. The design of the new building includes a square and rectangular shaped contemporary windows with a consistent rhythm and is compatible with the streetscape. • Any new buildings taller than 3 to 4 storeys should incorporate some form of height transition or stepbacks to minimize the perception of height and shadow impacts to pedestrians on the November2021 MHBC 149 Page 74 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener street and provide more visual continuity. Stepbacks should be a minimum of 2 metres to provide for useable outdoor terraces for the upper levels. This front entrance has been em phasized at the pedestrian level through the use of a 2 -storey masonry podium. The proposed design is such that the majority of the building mass is pushed towards Weber Street West in order to conform to the 45 degree angular plane policy (see below for further analysis). • Any buildings taller than 5 storeys abutting a residential property to the rear should be constructed within a 45 degree angular plane where feasible, starting from the rear property line, to minimize visual impacts on adjacent property owners. Section 4.2.1 of the CCNHCD Plan regarding Land Use Designations and Zoning identifies that the High Density Commercial Residential designation along Weber Street has the potential to be in conflict with the intent of the HCD Plan in terms of height and density. The rear of the subject lands abut propertiesthat are designated Office Residential Conversion. The subject lands do not abut the Low Rise Residential designated areas that make up the interior of the Heritage District. Section 5.2.3 of the HCD Study as well as the policies of the Secondary Plan identify that the Office Residential Conversion lands are intended to provide a buffer and transition between the higher density uses on Weber Street and the low rise residential areas in the Heritage District. The intent of the angular plane guideline is to ensure that tall buildings don't negatively impact the character of low rise residential properties and jeopardize their continued residential use. The proposed development meets the 45 degree angular plane guideline when measured from the edge of the Low Rise Residential properties on Roy Street (See angular plane analysis provided in Appendix B of this report). CCN HCD Study 5.2.3 Land Use Designations and Zoning The Office -Residential Conversion designation is intended to preserve existing structures and to serve as a transition area between the higher intensity uses along Weber and Queen Street and the Low Rise Residential — Preservation designation. An angular plane analysis measures the angular plane beginning at the north side of Roy Street rather than the south side in order to account for the south side of Roy Street which is designated Office Residential Conversion and is considered a buffer zone between the High Density Commercial Residential Area and the Low Density November2021 MHBC 150 Page 75 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener Residential Areas. The angular plane analysis identifies that the proposed new 19 storey building is within the permitted range of the 45 degree angular plane. • To minimize impacts on properties to the rear of or flanking Weber Street, a rear yard setback of 15 metres should be maintained for new buildings as well as additions where feasible. The proposed new building has a rear yard setback of 15.9 metres. • Locate loading, garbage and other service elements (HVAC, meters, etc.) away from the front facade so they do not have a negative visual impact on the street or new building /addition. Loading, garbage, and other services are located away from the front faQade towards the rear of the lot. 6.4 IMPACT ANALYSIS: ADJACENT LANDS The following provides an analysis of potential impacts as a result of the proposed development on adjacent lands. This includes the adjacent properties located along Weber Street West and Roy Street. Potential sources of impacts include those listed in Section 7.1 of this report. Policies provided in the CCNHCD Plan regarding the impact of proposed new buildings on adjacent lands were addressed in the previous section of this report (i.e. related to angular plane analyses, shadow studies, etc.). The following analysis of the above -noted policies is divided into two sections regarding adjacent properties located along a) Weber Street West and b) Roy Street. 6.4.1 WEBER STREET WEST The proposed new building will not result in the destruction or alteration of any heritage buildings or features located adjacent, including the buildings located at 18 Street West and 28 Weber Street West. As noted previously in this report, shadows as a result of the proposed new building will not impact any heritage resources located along Weber Street West. The proposed new building will not result in the isolation of any heritage attributes as the subject property is currently vacant and therefore does not include any features which would have a relationship to any adjacent property. The proposed new building includes side yard setbacks at the east and west property lines which provide generous space between the proposed new building and the existing building at 28 Weber Street West. As a result, the proposed side yard setbacks will allow the side elevations of the November2021 MHBC 151 Page 76 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener buildings at 18 Weber Street West and 28 Weber Street west to continue to be visible from the public realm (See Figures 19 & 20). These elevations may be obstructed for a short period of time as one traverse Weber Street West, but will be visible again as one passes the proposed new building in either direction. This is consistent with the character of the street due to varied setbacks and is not anticipated to result in adverse impacts to the character of Weber Street West. i Figures 19 & 20 - (left) View of subject property with east elevation of 28 Weber Street West noted in red, (right) View of subject property with west elevation of 18 Weber Street West noted in red, (Source: MHBC, 2020) No adverse impacts are anticipated in terms of changes in land use as it will remain residential while accommodating higher densities permitted by the Municipal Plan and Zoning By-law. There is potential for land disturbances as a result of construction activities at 22 Weber Street West on adjacent heritage buildings on Weber Street West which require mitigation recommendations. 6.4.2 IMPACT ANALYSIS: ROY STREET The proposed new 19 story building will result in shadows cast to the north. As a result, shadows will be cast on the rear yard of properties located at 35 Roy Street, 31 Roy Street, 27 Roy Street and 23 Roy Street mid-day throughout the year. These shadows will not result in adverse impacts to any cultural heritage attributes. The proposed new building will not result in the isolation of any heritage features as the subject property is vacant. Land use will remain residential and will not result in adverse impacts. There is potential for land disturbances as a result of construction activities at 22 Weber Street West on adjacent heritage buildings on Roy Street which require mitigation recommendations. November2021 MHBC 152 Page 77 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener 6.5 SUMMARY OF IMPACT ANALYSIS The following provides a summary of the impact analysis as it relates to a) conformity with the policies of the CCNHCD Plan regarding new development, and development within the Weber Street policy area, and b) impacts to adjacent heritage resources. 6.5.1 Conformity with the Policies of the CCNHCD Plan The impact analysis provided in the previous sections of this report have highlighted that the intent of policies provided in the CCNHCD Plan is to provide policies for change management and the conservation of cultural heritage resources. The CCNHCD Plan identifies that there are situations where higher density new developments may be considered. The CCNHCD Plan identifies that higher density developments should be located in specific areas of the District, including Weber Street as it is located at the perimeter and is designated High Density Commercial Residential. Further, the CCNHCD Plan identifies that the character of Weber Street is different than that of the interior of the District and could incorporate new development of higher densities provided that it does not result in the demolition of existing heritage buildings and is complementary in terms of scale, massing, setbacks, design, etc. The analysis provided in Section 6.0 of this report demonstrates that the proposed new 19 storey multi -residential building is consistent with policies in Section 3.3.1 of the CCNHCD Plan regarding development pattern and land use as the site is considered vacant and underutilized. The CCNHCD Plan does not regulate height. Instead, it indicates that new buildings along Weber Street should be sensitive to, and compatible with adjacent heritage resources. The proposed new building which is 19 storeys is compatible with the existing built form of Weber Street West in terms of scale and massing as a) it is located at the perimeter of the District, where higher density developments are anticipated b) it will not result in disrupting any consistent building height, as the Weber Street West streetscape varies considerably and is located within close proximity to higher intensity land uses in the Downtown. The proposed development is also consistent with the specific design guidelines for new buildings provided in Section 6.9.2 of the CCNHCD Plan including the requirement for buildings to comply with a 45 degree angular plane in order to provide a transition between higher density developments along Weber Street West and the low rise residential areas at the interior of the District. 6.5.2 Impacts to Adjacent Heritage Resources The proposed development will not result in impacts to adjacent heritage resources. No heritage resources will be demolished, or altered and will not result in impacts related to shadows, obstruction, or land use. Existing churches located along Weber Street North, including the St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church at 54 Queen Street North and the Zion United Church at 32 Weber November2021 MHBC 153 Page 78 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener Street West will remain prominently visible along the Weber Street West streetscape.

November2021 MHBC 154 Page 79 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener 7.O MITIGATIONAND CONSERVATION RECOMMENDATIONS 7.1 ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS The following sub -sections of this report provide recommendations regarding alternative development approaches as it relates to the proposed development. 7.1.1 'Do Nothing' Alternative The do nothing alternative would result in no development on the lands. This would have no impact on heritage resources as the property is vacant. It is important to note that Section 7.4.4 of the CCNHCD Plan identifies that paved parking areas have the potential to detract from the character of the District. The image provided in Section 7.4.4 which demonstrates this specifically uses the existing parking area at 22 Weber Street West as an example. The Plan identifies that areas such as this should be screened from view with landscaping (low hedges or fencing) and that permeable types of paving are preferred in order to minimize impactsto the streetscape. Therefore, the 'do nothing' approach would result in a site which has been identified in the CCNHCD Plan as having potential for improvement in order to meet the policies and guidelines regarding vehicle parking. 7.1.2 Redevelop Site with Decreased Height and Density This alternative would result in a new multiple -residential building with fewer storeys and less height. This alternative would conform to the existing 4.0 FSR. This alternative would not result in less impact to heritage resources since a 19 storey building complies with policies of the Heritage Conservation District regarding height — i.e. the 45 degree angular plane. If the lower height was November2021 MHBC 155 Page 80 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener accommodated by constructing a wider building, there maybe increased impact due to reduction in the rear yard setback. 7.1.3 Redevelop Site with Increased Density This alternative would result in constructing a new multiple -residential building with increased height. A building constructed in excess of 19 storeys would not comply with the 45 degree angular plane guideline. 7.1.4 Redevelop Site with Alternative Designs & Materials This option includes the construction of an alternative design of a building while achieving the same FSR. This option would require a larger lot and the acquisition of adjacent properties, such as those located at 18 Weber Street West and 28 Weber Street West. The demolition of these two buildings to allow for a larger building footprint would decrease the building height and FSR while maximizing density. This option would result in significant adverse impacts as the buildings located at 28 Weber Street West and 18 Weber Street West are identified as important cultural heritage resources in the CCNHCD Plan. 7.2 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS Mitigation recommendations as it relates to identified impacts are limited to potential land disturbances as a result of construction activities. These potential impacts to adjacent buildings can be avoided through vibration monitoring. It is recommended that the proposed development include an inspection of the adjacent properties located at 18 Weber Street West and 28 Weber Street West prior and post construction activities. November2021 MHBC 156 Page 81 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener 8.O CONCLUSIONS& RECOMMENDATIONS The proposed development includes the construction of a 19 storey multiple residential building on a lot currently used as surface parking. The proposed new building does not include the demolition or alteration of any cultural heritage resources located on-site or adjacent. As the proposed new building is located within the Civic Centre Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District and is designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act, any new development is subject to the policies of the CCNHCD Plan. The CCNHCD Plan recognizes that Weber Street is different from the interior of the district and sets forth policies for new development which are specific to this area. The Plan recognizes that Weber Street West is designated High Density Commercial Residential and that higher density developments can be considered provided that it does not result in the demolition of significant cultural heritage resources is and is compatible with the character of the streetscape. This Heritage Impact Assessment has demonstrated that Weber Street West is characterized by a range of architectural styles, materials, colours, setbacks, and buildings of a higher scale than that of the interior of the district. The proposed new 19 storey residential building is taller than adjacent buildings, but maximises density while respecting adjacent cultural heritage resources. The proposed new building is contemporary in style and includes materials such as neutral toned masonry. The building includes a 2 story main entrance/podium which emphasizes the pedestrian scale. The contemporary design includes a symmetrical arrangement of square and rectangular shaped windows in a regularly established rhythm which will not detract from the buildings located adjacent at 18 Weber Street West and 28 Weber Street West. The proposed development will not result in any adverse impacts related to obstruction, isolation, change in land use, or shadows. The proposed development is considered a neutral impact to adjacent heritage resources within the Civic Centre Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District (CCNHCD) located along Weber Street West and Roy Street. November2021 MHBC 157 Page 82 of 379 Heritage Impact Assessment, 22 Weber Street West, City of Kitchener There is potential for impacts to adjacent buildings as a result of construction activities. Mitigation recommendations for the proposed development are limited to monitoring vibration impacts during construction.

The applicant's consultant's Heritage Impact Assessment of April 29, 2022 is little changed from their version of November 2021. As such, the findings of my March 2022 report stand. I have corrected a few typos and the like in my prior report, but have otherwise made no material changes. I address the clear material change in the applicant's consultant's revised HIA — the proposed front yard setback of 2.5 m — as compared to the 0.8m proposed under the OPA and ZBLA applications — in Addendum A. I also include, in Addendum B, a set of maximum/minimum zoning standards for 22 Weber St W that I believe ensure that the neighbouring heritage resources can endure, as required by law. My opinion on the application is unchanged: that the proposed zoning and development at 22 Weber St W are not a) consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, b) in conformity with the Growth Plan and the regional and municipal Official Plans, c) in compliance with zoning by-laws nor d) consistent with the policies and guidelines of the Civic Centre Heritage District Plan (HDP). I furthermore do not believe that the proposed zoning and development would constitute good planning.

For brevity's sake, this report intentionally does not cover the same ground as the Applicant's Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) on areas of agreement. With regard to the applicable legislation, policies and guidelines, this report focuses on upper-level legislation and policy. Beyond the Heritage District Plan, a complete, detailed analysis of municipal policy and guidelines are beyond the scope of this report. I am a land use planner with a specialty in heritage planning, and am certified as a Registered Professional Planner (RPP). In addition, I am a member of the Canadian Association of Heritage Professionals (CAHP) in the "Planner" category and currently serve on the Board of Directors of its largest chapter, the Ontario Association of Heritage Professionals (OAHP). My Curriculum Vitae is included as Appendix A. I have been previously involved in heritage projects in Kitchener and am familiar with the context. In developing this report, I have reviewed the applicant's consultants' HIA and other planning justification reports in conjunction with the relevant sources identified in Appendix B. I visited the site and area on June 2, 2021 to review the context of the proposed development. In my opinion, the proposed zoning and development at 22 Weber St W are not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, in conformity with the Growth Plan and the regional and municipal Official Plans, in compliance with zoning by-laws nor consistent with the policies and guidelines of the Civic Centre Heritage District Plan (HDP). I furthermore do not believe that the proposed zoning and development would constitute good planning. The Proposed Application The subject lands consist of a 0.14 ha property located on the north side of Weber St W, between Young St and Queen St N. The lands are located within the Civic Centre Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District and across a Regional Road from the Urban Growth Centre. The lot is presently used as a commercial surface parking lot. The Applicant is proposing to develop a 19 -storey multiple residential building with 162 units. The parking is proposed to be located at grade behind and under the building. Vehicular and pedestrian access to the development is proposed to be from Weber St W. The Applicant has indicated in the Planning Justification Report that a draft plan of condominium application will be submitted. The Application proposes to amend the existing zoning bylaw as follows: a. The maximum Floor Space Ratio shall be 7.8. b. The minimum front yard shall be 0.8 metres. c. The minimum rear yard shall be 15 metres. d. The minimum ground floor height shall be 4.5 metres. e. A total of 24 parking spaces shall be provided including 8 visitor parking spaces Page 108 of 379 N Policy Context My comments on policy context are limited to countering selected arguments in the Applicant's consultants' reports which may otherwise lead the reader down a path with which I do not agree. I disagree with the HIA's interpretation of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). Part III, Page 2 of the PPS states, "The Provincial Policy Statement is more than a set of individual policies. It is to be read in its entirety and the relevant policies are to be applied to each situation." In my opinion, the PPS is not suggesting there be "a weighting and balancing of issues within the planning process", as the HIA suggests (p. 14). Rather, the PPS is clarifying the need for adherence to all legislation within a broader planning framework. Abiding by one policy does not grant permission to ignore or contradict another. It is also important to note that to satisfy the PPS, each and every PPS objective need not be achieved on any single site. Even more specifically to this case, it is not the intent of the PPS to maximize intensification at the expense of heritage preservation and compatibility. The PPS directs (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 HIA does not demonstrate that the heritage attributes of the district will be conserved. As such, the proposed amendments are not consistent with the PPS. The Growth Plan also does not support maximization of density at the expense of heritage conservation. It sets out two relevant requirements to conserve heritage. • "Conserve and promote cultural heritage resources to support the social, economic, and cultural well-being of all communities, including First Nations and Metis communities" (1.2.1 (bullet # 9), and • "Cultural heritage resources will be conserved in order to foster a sense of place and benefit communities, particularly in strategic growth areas" (4.2.7.1). The HIA does not demonstrate that the heritage attributes of the district will be conserved. As such, the proposed amendments are not consistent with the Growth Plan. The Waterloo Region Official Plan (ROP) also sets out requirements to ensure that the pursuit of density does not override the requirement to conserve heritage, including section 2.D.1.e): "In preparing or reviewing planning studies, or in reviewing development applications or site plans, the Region and/or Area Municipalities will ensure that development occurring within the Urban Area is planned and developed in a manner that (e) conserves cultural heritage resources and supports the adaptive reuse of historic buildings. " Page 109 of 379 7 The HIA does not demonstrate that the heritage attributes of the district will be conserved. As such, the proposed amendments do not conform to the ROP. The proposed amendments, therefore, are not consistent or in conformity with upper-level policy. Consistency with the HDP: High Level Review The HIA points out that "the subject lands are designated High Density Commercial Residential as per the Civic Centre Neighbourhood Secondary Plan" (p. 11) and asserts the HDP "recognizes that Weber Street West is designated High Density Commercial Residential" (pp. 6, 18, 43, 44, 53 and 57). One may be misled to believe from these assertions that the HDP accepts the direction of the 1994 Secondary Plan. In fact, the HDP explicitly states the opposite: "The High Density Commercial Residential designation, located on Weber Street and extending slightly into College and Young Streets has the potential to be in conflict with the intent of the heritage conservation district plan" (p 4.6). To prevent potential redevelopment along Weber from having a negative impact on the District, the HDP calls for the subject lands to be zoned CR -2, with a maximum Floor Space Index (FSI) of 2 (pp 4.6- 4.7 and Figure 5). I wish to clarify that, in my opinion, the 2008 HDP provides new direction that is not necessarily consistent with the 1994 Secondary Plan. The HDP direction, in my view, supersedes the Secondary Plan, both in date and intent in the event of any conflict. As such, the maximum allowable FSI as per the existing Secondary Plan and zoning is not license to exceed other zoning limits or the HDPs requirements. On a broader level, I see the HIA's arguments pertaining to land use and zoning as perhaps germane to a Planning Justification Report, but much less so to an HIA where the primary interest is in determining consistency with the HDP. I believe these arguments would have been most applicable in an appeal of the HDP. All appeals of the HDP were settled in 2009 and the law does not provide for a fresh appeal at this time. In my opinion, any suggestion that zoning bylaws take priority over a heritage district plan's requirements is simply not true. Section 41.2.2) of the Ontario Heritage Act reads "In the event of a conflict between a heritage conservation district plan and a municipal by- law that affects the designated district, the plan prevails to the extent of the conflict." A few other specific points warrant discussion: 1. Page 9 of the Record of Pre -Submission Consultation states that "the scoped HIA will need to address the potential impact of height, built form, setbacks, and massing of the proposed development on the Weber Street West streetscape and on the integrity of the CCNHCD in general," including angular plane analysis, a scaled 3D massing model from both approaches on Weber St West and will [also] need to address the HDP guidelines for new buildings and for infill development on Weber St W. Page 110 of 379 A The HIA denies that there will be an impact due to height, built form, setbacks, and massing and only sees potential impact to adjacent buildings due to construction activities (pp. 7 and 53). I do not concur with the HIA's findings that "[t]he proposed development will not result in any adverse impacts related to obstruction, isolation, change in land use, or shadows. The proposed development is considered a neutral impact to adjacent heritage resources within the Civic Centre Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District (CCNHCD) located along Weber Street West and Roy Street" (p. 7). 2. The Civic Centre Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District Study has no standing. Those portions of its recommendations passed into law are represented in the HDP. The observations contained in the text cannot be presumed to be policy statements incorporated into the HDP. 3. 1 disagree with the HIA author's assertions that it is the intent of the HDP "to incorporate higher density development along Victoria Street and Weber Street" (p. 28). It is the intent of the HDP to ensure that the District and its heritage resources endure and that any new development is compatible. "Heritage Conservation Districts offer a way to protect, over the long term, areas that have important and/or identifiable historic and architectural resources." (HDP, p. 1.2). The policies and guidelines are intended to ensure the long term survival of the historic and architectural resources, not to provide a template for its change. 4. As discussed above, the HDP does not support or condone the High Density Commercial Residential designation along Weber. 5. Contrary to the HIA's claim otherwise on page 47, the HDP does not consider that tall buildings (buildings of more than 8 storeys) may be developed within the Weber Street Area. No tall buildings have been permitted to be built in the HD since the establishment of the HDP. 6. Contrary to the Urban Design Brief's assertions otherwise (p. 35), • the redevelopment of lots within the Heritage District presently occupied by heritage buildings is a real possibility; and, • the consolidation of 18 Weber and 54 Queen is a real possibility. 7. 1 dispute the HIA's statement that "The proposed new building which is 19 storeys is compatible with the existing built form of Weber Street West in terms of scale and massing as a) it is located at the perimeter of the District, where higher density developments are anticipated b) it will not result in disrupting any consistent building height, as the Weber Street West streetscape varies considerably and is located within close proximity to higher intensity land uses in the Downtown" (HIA, p. 53). Page 111 of 379 1 The proposed zoning and development would disrupt the existing consistent pattern of height, which ranges from 1-4 storeys along Weber Street West inside the Heritage District (see Appendix Q. The Application requests 475% -- almost five times -- of the upper end of the range of existing heights. Consistency with the HDP: Policy by Policy Review This report assesses the consistency of the proposed zoning and development with the following six applicable and actionable requirements of the HDP. 1. District Wide Policy 3.3.3 (a) "New buildings will respect and be compatible with the heritage character of the Civic Centre Neighbourhood, through attention to height, built form, setback, massing, material and other architectural elements such as doors, windows, roof lines." • The proposed build is a new build. • The proposed build is not compatible in terms of height. o All the buildings on the blocks bounded by Weber, Young, Ahrens, and Queen, including Roy are of 3% storeys or less. o Although the Heritage District does include four developments in excess of four storeys, they were all constructed prior to the establishment of the HDP, and therefore not subject to the Plan's provisions. o In my opinion, any height differential greater than three times the average heights and/or floor space indices of the immediately adjacent buildings within a heritage district would generally be considered incompatible, unless there are extenuating circumstances such as significant differences in lot size or unusual screening provisions that lessen the impact. • The proposed build is not compatible in terms of setback from Weber. o The buildings within the Heritage District fronting on Weber have an average (mean) setback of 5.9m from the inner edge of the sidewalk and a median setback of 5m from the inner edge of the sidewalk (see Appendix Q. o The proposed zoning seeks a front yard setback of 0.8m from the property line or 2.7m from the inner edge of the sidewalk. • The proposed front yard setback would lead to obstruction of views of the streetscape and isolation of each portion of the streetscape from the balance on the other side of 22 Weber St W. The proposed zoning is insufficient to ensure that the streetscape can be taken in, as a whole, from either side of 22 Weber St W, while positioned in the Heritage District, in the public realm. The proposal would divide the Weber St streetscape into two halves, each isolated from the other. The proposed Application seeks to insert an obstruction into a streetscape that is presently cohesive. The Application treats the heritage resources at 18 and 28 Weber as individual resources, but denies their contribution to a greater whole. It is a failing to acknowledge the difference between preserving a singular heritage resource and a heritage district. Page 112 of 379 10 • The Application is therefore inconsistent with HDP policy 3.3.3 (a). 2. Site -Specific Weber Street Policy 3.3.5.2.d) "Where redevelopment is proposed on vacant or underutilized sites, new development shall be sensitive to and compatible with adjacent heritage resources on the street with respect to height, massing, built form and materials." • The proposed development is a redevelopment on a vacant site. • The proposed development is not compatible with adjacent heritage resources on the street with respect to height. • The adjacent heritage resources on Weber at 18 and 28 Weber St Ware each 2% storeys in height. o In my opinion, any height differential greater than three times the average heights of the immediately adjacent buildings within a heritage district would generally be considered incompatible, unless there are extenuating circumstances such as significant differences in lot size or unusual screening provisions that lessen the impact. • The Application is therefore inconsistent with policy 3.3.5.2.d) 3. Site -Specific Weber Street policy 3.3.5.2.e) "Any buildings proposed over 5 storeys in height may be required to undertake shadow studies where they abut existing residential uses, to demonstrate that they will not unreasonably impact on access to sunlight in rear yard amenity areas." • The proposed build is over 5 storeys. • The proposed build abuts existing residential uses at 23, 27 (under renovation), 31 and 35 Roy St. • The proposed build would unreasonably impact on access to sunlight in rear yard amenity areas for some of the houses on Roy St. during the spring and fall seasons at noon, 2:00 and 4:00 • Reasonable limits would be small or no shadows in the summer, and shadows only in early morning or late afternoon during the spring and fall, in my opinion. • The Application is inconsistent with the HDP's shadowing policy. 4. Site/Area Specific Design Guideline 6.9.4, bullet #2 (p. 6.32) "Setbacks of new development should be consistent with adjacent buildings. Where significantly different setbacks exist on either side, the new building should be aligned with the building that is most similar to the predominant setback on the street." The response given in the HIA is: Page 113 of 379 11 "There is no consistent front yard setback along the north side of Weber Street West. The existing building at 18 Weber Street West is setback approximately 12 metres from the street. The building at 28 Weber Street W is setback approximately 8.6 metres from the street. The proposed new building has a shallow front yard setback, which respects the two varying setbacks of these adjacent buildings and is consistent with the character of Weber Street West." • The proposed development is a new development. • The Application seeks a front yard setback of 0.8m. • Of the two flanking buildings, the setback at 28 Weber Street West is most similar to the predominant setback on the street. • 28 Weber Street West is setback 9.2m from the . inner edge of the sidewalk. • The HDP calls for the development to be aligned with 28 Weber Street West at 9.2m from the inner edge of the sidewalk. • Front yard setbacks along the north side of Weber are sufficiently consistent to permit a view of a cohesive streetscape, as discussed in response to District Wide Policy 3.3.3 (a). • The Application is inconsistent with -design guideline 6.9.4, bullet #2. 5. Site/Area Specific Design Guideline 6.9.4, bullet #6 (p. 6.32) "Any new buildings taller than 3 to 4 storeys should incorporate some form of height transition or stepbacks to minimize the perception of height and shadow impacts to pedestrians on the street and provide more visual continuity. Stepbacks should be a minimum of 2 metres to provide for useable outdoor terraces for the upper levels." • The proposed build is taller than 3 or 4 storeys. • No stepback is provided. The minimal recess from Weber St W above the '2 -storey masonry podium' of the proposed build is nullified by the projecting glassed section one storey higher. • The Application is inconsistent with design guideline 6.9.4, bullet #6. 6. Site/Area Specific Design Guideline 6.9.4, bullet #7 (p. 6.32) "Any buildings taller than 5 storeys abutting a residential property to the rear should be constructed within a 45 degree angular plane where feasible, starting from the rear property line, to minimize visual impacts on adjacent property owners." • The proposed build is taller than 5 storeys. • Abutting properties to the rear are residential. • It is feasible to build within a 45 degree angular plane, starting from the rear property line. • The proposed build would not be constructed within a 45 degree angular plane, starting from the rear property line (see Appendix B of HIA). • The Application is inconsistent with design guideline 6.9.4, bullet #7. Page 114 of 379 12 The HIA asserts that the legal intent of the 45 degree angular plane analysis is "to ensure that tall buildings don't negatively impact the character of low rise residential properties and jeopardize their continued residential use" and that the abutting properties to the rear are not residential, by virtue of their land use designation (p. 50). I disagree with the HIA. The arguments presented lean on the Heritage Conservation District Study, not the HDP, and on the 1994 Secondary Plan. The Heritage Conservation District Study has no standing. Those portions of its recommendations that were passed into law are represented in the HDP. As I have stated previously, in my opinion, the HDP provides new direction contrary to the 1994 Secondary Plan, direction that supersedes the 28 year-old Secondary Plan, both in date and intent, in the event of any conflict. HDP requirement 6.9.4, bullet #7 states, "Any buildings taller than 5 storeys abutting a residential property to the rear..." It makes no mention of land use designation nor of zoning. I believe that this policy is referring to uses existing at the time the HDP was created, not to any possible future redeveloped uses. The properties along Roy St to the rear of 22 Weber St W were either fully or partially residential at the time the HDP was enacted. Furthermore, without suggesting that I agree that an exploration of land -use is relevant to an understanding of the HDP, the properties to the rear of 22 Weber St W, 23-35 Roy (odd numbers) are all residential properties. And they are zoned the same low-rise residential zone (R-5) as the majority of the interior of the district. The HIA seeks to establish that, due to their Office Residential Conversion land -use designation, the properties are not due the protections afforded by 6.9.4, bullet #7. 1 disagree. There is no support for this position within the HDP. The chief aim of the HDP, again, is "to protect, over the long term, areas that have important and/or identifiable historic and architectural resources." (HDP, 1.2). The Roy St properties are designated heritage resources under the HDP and require a compatible context for their ongoing existence. The HDP makes no mention of whether a Weber St W development abuts a Low -Rise Residential Preservation vs an Office Residential Conversion designation. Nor could it. Not a single Weber St property abuts a Low -Rise Residential Preservation designated property. The potential for abutting a residential property that was not designated Office Residential Conversion would not arise. See land use map at https://www.kitchener.colenlresourcesGenerallDocumentsIDSD PLAN NPR—Civic_ Centre_Existing_la nd use.pdf Hence, in my opinion, the interpretation proposed by the HIA should not be accepted. I disagree with the HIA's suggestion that the Office Residential Conversion properties are a sacrificial transition area, not intended to be afforded a reasonable transition. The HIA provides evidence against its own finding when it cites the Section 5.2.3 of the HCD Study, "The Office -Residential Conversion designation is intended to preserve existing structures." If these structures are not afforded an appropriate environment and transitions on nearby properties, they cannot be expected to endure. I reiterate my position that the HDP clearly states that the point of origin for the angular plane analysis is the rear property line. Page 115 of 379 13 The Application is inconsistent with this design guideline, in my opinion. m pact Analysis The proposed zoning and development would disrupt the existing setting, including a consistent pattern of height and setbacks. One of the HDP's guiding principles is to preserve traditional settings, found in section 3.4 of the Plan: "A building is intimately connected to its site and to the neighbouring landscape and buildings. Land, gardens, outbuildings and fences form a setting that should be considered during plans for restoration or change. An individual building is perceived as part of a grouping and requires its neighbours to illustrate the original design intent. When buildings need to change there is a supportive setting that should be maintained." The existing, consistent pattern of height ranges from 1-4 storeys along Weber St W inside the Heritage District. The application requests 475% of the upper end of the range of existing heights. The request would dwarf the surrounding builds. Today, the eye is attracted to the church steeples which poke above four or five storeys, as the tallest structures on the streetscape. The harmony of the original community can be seen between the homes and places of worship that remain. Were the proposed development to gain approval, the prominence of the churches would be compromised, and the period architecture of these late 19th and early 20th century edifices would be overshadowed by the modern architecture of the apartment building. Accordingly, the context necessary to appreciate the Heritage District's resources would be lost. The proposed front yard setback is insufficient to ensure that the streetscape can be taken in, as a whole, from either side of 22 Weber St W, in the public realm. The proposed front yard setback would lead to obstruction of views of the streetscape. The Application would divide the Weber St streetscape into two halves, on either side of 22 Weber St W, each isolated from the other. The public views of the individual heritage resources at 18 and 28 Weber would be diminished, but, even more importantly, their contribution to the greater whole would be denied. The proposed application seeks to insert an obstruction into the streetscape that is presently cohesive. With the loss, and the precedent set for future losses elsewhere throughout the District, it is unclear what might remain. The proposal constitutes a fundamental challenge to the District's survival. With respect to shadowing issues, the proposed application would unreasonably impact on access to sunlight in rear yard amenity areas. The shadow studies included as Appendix C of the HIA show that the rear yards of the residents behind 22 Weber St W would be shadowed for two-thirds of the afternoon in spring and summer, and the entire afternoon in winter. I also recognize the request made of individual property owners as expressed in section 3.1 of the HDP: "Encourag[e] individual building owners to understand the broader context of heritage preservation, and recognize that buildings should outlive their individual owners and each owner or tenant should consider themselves stewards of the building for future owners and users." Page 116 of 379 14 This is a substantial ask of property owners, and the Province, Region and City are fortunate to have a community of property owners that embraces this philosophy. Cooperation and support are required from the Province of Ontario, Region of Waterloo and the City of Kitchener to foster and maintain this partnership by preserving the context that supports the use of the buildings. I find the applicant's description of heritage impact very limiting and arbitrary, as it dismisses very real issues in its attempt to justify the height and massing of the proposed building. On the contrary, I would address impact in the following manner. The Ontario Heritage Tool Kit identifies five types of heritage impact resulting from new construction or alterations within a heritage district or adjacent to one or more heritage resources: • Destruction of any, or part of any, significant heritage attributes or features; • Alterations that are not sympathetic to or incompatible with the historic fabric and appearance of a heritage resource; • The creation of shadows that alter the appearance of a heritage attribute or change the viability of a natural feature or plantings, such as a garden; • The isolation of a heritage attribute from its surrounding environment, context or a significant relationship; • The direct or indirect obstruction of significant views or vistas within, from, or of built and naturalfeatures. The impacts of a 19 -storey apartment building on the Weber St W streetscape and the Heritage District in general are substantial and potentially precedent -setting. In terms of streetscape impact, the proposed structure would: a) Tower over the neighbouring buildings, both of which are 2 % storeys, creating problems with compatibility and overlook; b) Destroy the "rhythm" of the Weber St streetscape and lessen the prominence of the two churches beside the adjoining building; c) Interfere with the vista of Weber St W from Queen St, as visually illustrated in Figure 5, Appendix D to this report; d) Create adverse shadow impacts during the spring and fall equinoxes; e) Set an unfortunate precedent if approved, as it would be difficult for the City to deny other deviations from the Heritage District Plan along this block of Weber St W. The proposed development would not be compatible with the rest of the Heritage District to the north, particularly the 1% to 2% storey houses on Roy St. It fails to provide an appropriate transition between the (anticipated) high-rise buildings on the south side of Weber St W and the low-rise heritage - protected builds on Roy St. Mitigation and Conservation Recommendations It is my opinion that the HIA's analysis of the Alternative Development Options (HIA, p. 55) is built upon an unsupportable premise — that the Application is consistent with the HDP. As I have demonstrated, it is not consistent with the HDP's directives 3.3.3 a); 3.3.5.2. d) and e); and 6.9.4, bullets 2, 6 and 7. Page 117 of 379 15 I also note the false dichotomy presented by the HIA on page 55, that there is any necessary connection between a) limiting the height and b) decreasing the setback areas. As stated earlier, the zoning regulations may be limited by the HDP, which prevails in the event of a conflict. Conclusion As the proposed amendments are not consistent with the HDP's directives, it is not consistent/in conformity with the HDP, the PPS, the Growth Plan and the ROP. I furthermore do not believe that the proposed amendments would constitute good planning. I recommend that the City of Kitchener oppose the applications at the OLT. Conditions of Approva Should the OLT choose to approve the applications, I recommend that the City of Kitchener seek, as a condition of the Tribunal's approval, an approved Heritage Permit Application.

Page 125 of 379 23 Addendum A: Revised Streetscape Views The applicant revised their requested front -yard setback in their updated HIA of April 29, 2022. The applicant's requested front yard setback in their OPA and ZBLA is 0.8m. In the HIA of April 29, the applicant requests a front yard setback of 2.5m. As addressed in my report, the proposed setback is not in compliance with the HDP and would lead to obstruction of views of the streetscape and isolation of each portion of the streetscape from the balance on the other side of 22 Weber St W. The proposed setback is insufficient to ensure that the streetscape can be taken in, as a whole, from either side of 22 Weber St W, while positioned in the Heritage District, in the public realm. The proposal would divide the Weber St streetscape into two halves, each isolated from the other. The proposed Application seeks to insert an obstruction into a streetscape that is presently cohesive. The Application treats the heritage resources at 18 and 28-44 Weber (even numbers only), as individual resources, but denies their contribution to a greater whole. It is a failing to acknowledge the difference between preserving a singular heritage resource and a heritage district. 28 Weber St WI 22 Weber St W I 18 Weber St W Setback " 7.4m Setback —13 m i za `ter--.•---- ,.. } ---------------------ri. ------------------ lam — — — — — — — — — — — — — — i 7m setback as required by HDP 5m median setback along Weber St W Oj 2.Sm applicant -proposed setback via April 29, 2022 HIA 0.8m applicant -proposed setback via proposed OPA and ZBLA Figure 7: Aerial view Close-up from Figure 3 depicting the Applicant -proposed setback in the revised HIA relative to the median setback and the setback at 28 Weber Street West.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Heritage Permit Application HPA-2022-IV-016 proposed to undertake repairs to the ground floor front and side porch on the subject property municipally addressed as 73 Queen Street North. This building is also known as the Governor's House and has been designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by way of designating by-law 81-105. The repairs to the *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. Page 130 of 379 front and side porch have been proposed because certain elements of the porch are in a state of disrepair and are deteriorating. The columns, the wooden deck boards, the brick skirt under the porch and the porch vents all need to be repaired and where necessary, replaced with compatible materials. The character defining elements of the building will not be affected through conducting these repairs. In reviewing the merits of this application, Heritage Planning staff note that the proposed porch repairs are consistent with Parks Canada's The Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada and that these repairs will not adversely impact the heritage value of the building. BACKGROUND: The Development Services Department is in receipt of Heritage Permit Application HPA- 2022-IV-016 (Attachment A) seeking permission to repair the ground -floor porch on the subject property municipally addressed as 73 Queen Street North (Fig. 1). y i — 31 n l/ 23' 14 CIVIC CENTRE' � Ceresm rY�' 1S6 4.- 22 l ea Waterloo Regional r`l rN Central Division tpX 134 yf 132 .fC� t33 �, %f 129 141 .I -+., CENTRAL FREDERICK 115 C3� r IPA Figure 1: Location Map of 73 Queen Street North REPORT: The subject property is municipally addressed as 73 Queen Street North, also known as the Governor's House, and is located on the east side of Queen Street near the intersection of Queen Street North and Weber Street. The historical complex, of which the subject property is a part of includes two historical buildings-, the Waterloo County Jail (municipally addressed as 77 Queen Street North), and the Governor's House. This heritage permit application related to the front porch of the Governor's House (Fig. 2 &3). The 2 -storey house has historical, architectural, and contextual value. Page 131 of 379 i ou�e,�f�=YA�i�IR�i Figure 2: Sth (front elevation of the house) Figure 3: South (front) and east (side) elevation of the house Historical Value The Waterloo County Jail is the oldest existing government building in Kitchener and the last remaining original county building. It was built in 1852, and the construction of the jail greatly affected the development of Berlin (now Kitchener) in the ensuing years. The Governor's House was added in 1878. It was designed by local architect David W. Gingerich, and was home to the "Gaoler" (person in -charge of the jail) and has been an integral part of the complex for over 100 years. Architectural Value The Governor's House was built in the mid-Victorian Italian Villa architectural style and is one of the last existing houses of this type in the area. The home reflected the Governor's respected position in the Town of Berlin (now Kitchener) at the time. It is an unusually constructed building with a four -storey tower and a Mansard roof. Contextual Value Both the Waterloo County Jail and the Governor's House are important in defining the establishment of Waterloo County. They are located within Kitchener's north-east downtown district, known as the Civic District. The Governor's House was built to fit in with the existing neighborhood and to act as a visual barrier between the surrounding community and the Jail. The subject property was designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by way of designating by-law 81-105 (Attachment E) for its historical, architectural, and contextual values. The exterior physical heritage attributes of the building include: • Buff brick in an L-shaped layout-, Page 132 of 379 • Offset four -storey tower with Mansard Roof and dormer windows; and • Brick quoining, tower and wood brackets. The interior features that contribute to the architectural value of the Governor's House include the circular staircase leading to the top of the tower. However, the designating by-law protects the "exterior of all the buildings and structures on the premises", which is why the proposed front porch repairs required a heritage permit. Proposed Porch Repair The scope of work includes the ground floor front and side porch (Attachment C). There are elements of the ground -floor front porch that are deteriorating. An inspection report (Attachment D) prepared in 2020 identified: • Rot damage in some of the columns on the front and side facade (Fig 4 & 5); Figure 4: Damage to the front facade Figure 5: Damage to the front fagade columns columns Page 133 of 379 • Some wooden deck boards have also deteriorated due to rot and require repairs, cleaning and repainting (Fig. 6 & 7); 1 Figure 6: Deteriorating wooden Deck Figure 7: Deteriorating columns and Boards wooden deck boards • The mortarjoints of the brick skirt surrounding the porch has become loose, creating openings (Fig. 8 & 9); 1 Figure 8: Loose mortar joints in the east (side) elevation Figure 9: Loose mortar joints under the column on the side elevation of the house. Page 134 of 379 • The wood -framed porch vents located in the brick skits have also become loose due to moisture, creating openings (Fig. 10 & 11). i Figure 10: Loose wood -framed vents on the front fagade of the house Repair of Columns Figure 11: Loose wood -framed porch vents on the side elevation The deteriorated part of the columns will be repaired using the dutchman repair technique — using wood with matching grain pattern and painted to the match the existing paint colour. The wood proposed for the repairs is fir species wood (Attachment B). Cleaning, Replacement and Repainting of Wooden Boards on the Deck The wooden deck boards on the perimeter of the porch need to be temporarily removed to examine the extent of deterioration. A structural review will be conducted by an engineer to confirm the structural conditions and suggest recommendations for remediation, if required. If it is determined that the removed deck boards have significantly deteriorated and cannot be repaired, the remainder of the board will be salvaged for use and the deteriorated part of the deck board will be replaced by new fir species wooden boards using the Dutchman repair technique. The repaired wooden deck boards will then be re -installed in the porch. The remainder of the deck boards will remain in place and will be cleaned and repainted (Attachment B). Repointing of Mortar Joints on the Brick Skirt As mentioned above, some mortar joints of the brick skirt surrounding the porch have become loose. Repointing of most of the brick skirt is required and is proposed with a lime - based mortar. As part of the monitoring construction work, the applicant's heritage Page 135 of 379 consultant is requiring that sample mortars be prepared by the contractor for review and approval. Staff are also requiring that mortar samples be submitted and approved prior to their application to ensure that no further deterioration happens. Replacement of Wood -Framed Porch Vents located under the Ground Floor Railing There are three (3) wood -framed porch vents located under the ground floor railing. Due to moisture, the wood -framed porch vent located under the ground floor railing have become loose. New compatible and interim aluminum porch vents are proposed to replace the existing wood frame porch vents (Fig. 12). They will be caulked and sealed at the bottom. This will achieve two things: • The new aluminum vents will not allow moisture to seep through, which would have been a possibility if the existing wood -framed porch vents are replaced with new wood -frame porch vents; and • This will improve the functionality, durability, and protection of the porch base. The installation of the new interim aluminum porch vents are reversible and can be removed in the future if required. The paint colour of the existing wood -framed porch vent is brown/maroon, and staff are requiring that the applicant get approval from staff regarding the paint colour prior to painting these vents.

This conserves earlier building design and technique-, and • Maintenance — with continuous care, future restoration will not be necessary. The proposed alteration meets Parks Canada's The Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historical Places in Canada, especially: • Conserve changes to an historic place that, over time, have become character - defining elements on their own right-, • Conserve heritage value by adopting an approach calling for minimal intervention-, Page 137 of 379 • Evaluate the existing condition of character -defining elements to determine the appropriate intervention needed. Use the gentlest means possible for any intervention. Respect heritage value when undertaking an intervention; • Make any intervention needed to preserve character -defining elements physically and visually compatible with the historic place and identifiable on close inspection. Document any intervention for future reference; and • Repairing parts of entrances, porches, or balconies by patching, piecing -in, consolidating or otherwise reinforcing, using recognized conservation methods. Repair might also include the limited replacement in kind, or with a compatible substitute material, of those extensively deteriorated or missing parts of entrances, porches and balconies. Repairs should match the existing work as closely as possible, both physically and visually. Heritage Planning Comments In reviewing the merits of the application, heritage planning staff make the following comments: • The subject property municipally addressed as 73 Queen Street North is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by way of designating by-law 81-105; • Certain portions of the ground -floor porch have deteriorated and are in need of repair; • The main treatment method for the porch repairs is preservation, intervening only where necessary; • There are some portions on the columns which have significantly deteriorated and will be repaired using the Dutchman repair technique; • The wooden board decks at the perimeter of the porch will be temporarily removed to determine the extent of damage and the level of treatment, if required. The remaining wooden deck boards will be left in place, cleaned and painted; • Significantly deteriorated portions of the wooden perimeter deck boards will be replaced using the Dutchman repair technique; • Most of brick skirt under the front porch needs to be repointed, which will be done using a lime -based mortar; • The wooden -framed porch vents have become loose due to moisture, and will be replaced with aluminum vents which will be caulked and sealed at the bottom to prevent further damage to the porch base. These vents are compatible, more durable, and reversible, if required. • The proposed porch repair is consistent with Parks Canada's The Standards and Guidelines for Historical Places in Canada with respect to the proposed repairs and replacements in terms of materials and scale; • Original architectural features will remain; • No interior and exterior character -defining elements of the building will be affected through the proposed repairs; and • The proposed repairs will not adversely impact the reasons for designation of the property nor the Queen Street North streetscape. 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-laws of the City of Kitchener or legislation, including but not limited to, the requirements of the Ontario Building Code and Zoning By-law.

Property Designation: Waterloo County Jail and Governor's House May 25, 1981 under Part IV, Ontario Heritage Act, By-law 81-105. The Statement of Significance lists the character -defining elements (CDE) that contribute to the heritage value of the Waterloo County Governor's House as: - buff brick construction in an L-shaped layout - offset four -storey tower with Mansard roof and dormer windows - brick quoining, tower and wood brackets - circular staircase leading to the top of the tower - positioning of the Governor's House in front of the fail - location within Kitchener's downtown core - location within the Civic District in Kitchener's downtown. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED WORK Background In December of 2020, the owner requested an engineering firm review the framing of the Queen Street entrance wood porch reported to be deteriorating and determine the extent of the repair work required. A preliminary visual reviewwas undertaken to understand the scope of the porch and requirements. Observations noted in the inspection report (SBM Preliminary Structural Opinion of Front Porch, dated January 4, 2020 attached), include rot damage to the base of the columns and decking. It also noted that the upper balcony guard post has moisture damage with recommendation for it to be reviewed in closer detail. The owner, the Region of Waterloo retained +VG Architects in March of 2022 to assist with the porch repairs and structural investigation. +VG (The Ventin Group Architects) previously assisted the Region with major restoration work of the County Jail and Governor's House in 2001). Scope of Work The extent of +VG's role is to review the porch deck level elements for repair and structural integrity but does not include the balcony above. Recommendations only will be made for the balcony balusters and rail as noted on the drawings. The amount of damaged areas is relatively small and the intent is to conserve existing porch woodwork using the approach from the Standards & Guidelines below, the least intrusive methods are to be applied. Approach As per the Standards and Guidelines for Canada's for the Conservation of Canada's Historic Places, +VG will approach the porch work applying the 3 steps of the conservation -making process. 1. Determine the primary treatment Preservation will be the guiding principle since the intent is to conserve the existing features that contribute to the heritage value of the building. The deteriorated features are mainly intact, but VG Architects Page 144 of 379 +VG stabilization is required due to exposure to environmental conditions. All work is intended to match existing. 2. Apply the Standards General Standards that apply to the work scope are: # 1 Conserve the heritage value of an historic place. Do not remove, replace or substantially alter character -defining elements. Intent: The porch materials are not original, however they contribute to the heritage value of the building. Some elements will temporarily be removed to investigate the conditions leading to their deteriorated state. For example, removal of the deteriorated deck boards at the perimeter will require that the columns along the Queen St side be temporarily removed. Both columns and deck boards will be reviewed for the level of treatment needed: cleaning, sanding and repainting, or repair. Where deck board areas are too deteriorated for repair, the remainder of the board will be salvaged to be reused on the deck. New wood will be fir which currently is the most stable in our field experience for this type of application. The method will use the Dutchman repair. #3 Conserve heritage value by adopting an approach calling for minimal intervention. Intent: The approach will leave elements in place where possible. Wood repair in situ for example on the upper balusters and rails if required, will involve removal of rotted wood, with Dutchman repair or epoxy filler, sanded and painted to protect the heritage features. Also see #7 below. #7 Evaluate the existing condition of character -defining elements to determine the appropriate intervention needed. Use the gentlest means possible for any intervention. Intent: +VG proposes to investigate the deck condition by removal of perimeter deck boards which are currently in poor condition. Structural review will then be conducted by an engineer to confirm structural conditions below, and recommendations for remediation if required. The remainder of the porch deck boards will remain in place for cleaning and repainting. #8 Maintain character -defining elements on an ongoing basis. Repair character -defining elements by reinforcing their materials using recognized conservation methods. Replace in kind any extensively deteriorated or missing parts of character -defining elements, where there are surviving prototypes. Intent: Woodwork: Some existing columns and bases contain deteriorated areas have been repaired or are currently open and exposed. Woodwork will be repaired using Dutchman repair with matching grain pattern, painted to match the existing paint colour. +VG proposes to use fir species wood which we find is the most stable available wood currently. Fir species is also proposed for any deck board areas requiring replacement. Masonry: The brick skirt surrounding the porch base has loose mortar creating openings. Repointing of most the brick area is required, using restoration mortar blends to match existing. Quality Control: as part of monitoring construction work, +VG requires samples be prepared by the Contractor to review and confirm the best conservation result. #9 Make any intervention needed to preserve character -defining elements physically and visually compatible with the historic place and identifiable on close inspection. Document any intervention for future reference. VG Architects Page 145 of 379 +VG Intent: Moisture has caused the wood -framed porch vents located in the brick skirt to loosen and create openings for intrusion. New vents are proposed with black mosquito netting and aluminum frame that will provide durability and protection of the porch base. As part of investigation and construction, all work is photographed for records and future reference. 3. Reference the Guidelines • Understanding the CDE and how it contributes to the heritage value of the historic place. • Document the CDE before site work begins. • Assess the physical condition using methods that respect the principle of minimal intervention. • Provide recommendations for: o Protecting and maintaining elements using recognized conservation methods and cyclical maintenance, o Retaining sound elements, o Stabilizing fragile and deteriorated elements. +VG has completed site investigations to provide the recommendations for preservation of the CDE as noted above and on the drawings. Most fabric of the porch will be retained and removed for investigation only when necessary. Repaired features will be reinstalled to existing locations. Deteriorated elements will be stabilized using minimal interventions noted. Recommendations for maintaining the stabilized porch include: - Annual cleaning and review of conditions, - Removal of plant materials completely which are trapping moisture at the corners and sides of the porch, expediting deterioration. - Removal of mulch and soil to below the stone sill below the brick skirt which traps moisture on the brick. - Temporary loose boards on the porch roof which appear to be used for feature lighting are creating moisture traps, and should be removed. - Rainwater leaders on the porch roof interior corners require extensions or splash blocks to direct water away from the building.

Page 179 of 379 Region of Waterloo RESTORATION Section 00010 Waterloo County Governor's MASONRY MORTAR Page 3 of 6 House - Porch Restoration Proiect #22221 2.4 Grout Mix 2.4.1 Grout: One tenth (1 /10) part Metastar, one (1) part hydrated lime, three (3) parts fine sand, and from five (5) to seven (7) parts water depending on viscosity required; all by volume. 2.5 Back -Pointing, Bedding, Pointing and Repair Mortars 2.5.1 Mortars are based on the proportion specifications of CSA A179M-1976. 2.5.2 Mortar for limestone generally: Type N mortar - one (1) part Portland cement, one (1) part hydrated Lime and (6) parts sand. 2.5.3 Prepare mortar to match existing at Hugh Foster Hall in colour and size of aggregate. 2.5.4 Repair mortars for carrying out mortar fills to existing stone: refer to Section 04900, Stone Conservation. 3 EXECUTION 3.1 Preparation of Grout 3.1.1 Prepare grout in quantities that can be used in 30 minutes only. 3.1.2 Prepare grout by thorough mixing to fully blend constituents to form a pouring consistency grout. 3.1.3 Keep stirring at regular intervals throughout use until grout is placed to prevent settling of solids. 3.1.4 Strain mix through sieve (maximum No. 50/300 microns) to remove solids that would impede pouring and filling of voids. 3.1.5 Use grout within 30 minutes of initial mixing. 3.1.6 Discard all grout mixed beyond 30 minutes. 3.2 Preparation of Mortars 3.2.1 Preparation of Hydraulic Lime/Aggregate Mortars: 3.2.1.1 Prepare masonry boxes and equipment as for all mixes. 3.2.1.2 Prepare blend of aggregates and pigments as determined previously. 3.2.1.3 Thoroughly blend the materials dry in a paddle mixer, gradually adding the hydraulic lime and non hydraulic lime to ensure its complete and even distribution throughout the mix. 3.2.1.4 Add small measured quantities of water, mixing for approximately three (3) minutes after each addition of water. Mix lime putty and sand thoroughly in mortar mill for a total of 5 more minutes once the correct water content is reached. Page 180 of 379 Pelham Old Town Hall MASONRY MORTAR Section 04102 Renovation / Restoration RESTORATION Page 4 of 6 Project #21423 3.2.1.5 Add just sufficient water to produce a plastic mortar that will hang on the trowel. 3.2.1.6 Allow mix to sit for 15 minutes then re -mix for a further 5 minutes 3.2.1.7 Use within one (1) hour. Do not re -temper. 3.2.2 Bulking of Sand and Aggregates: 3.2.2.1 Bulking is the increase in volume of dry sand when it becomes damp. 3.2.2.2 Damp sand can occupy as much as one-third (1/3) more volume than either dry or saturated sand. 3.2.2.3 Damp sand can be used, however, if its volume is adjusted for bulking. 3.2.3 Test and Adjustment of Sand Quantities for Bulking: 3.2.3.1 Test sand to be used in mortar for bulking at the start of the work, after each new delivery of sand and any severe change in weather. 3.2.3.2 Obtain a sample of sand which accurately reflects the average condition of the pile of damp sand, by the following methods: 1 Take four (4) shovelfuls of sand, each from a different level of the pile, and mix thoroughly. 2 Place this sand in a conical pile and divide into four (4) quarters with a board. Remove 2 opposite quarters from the pile, and combine the two (2) remaining quarters and mix thoroughly. .3 Repeat this quartering and mixing procedure until a sample of the size required for testing remains. 3.2.3.3 Fill a 1 -litre capacity jar, about two thirds full with the damp sand to be tested. Drop the sand in loosely. Do not pack it in. Level off the surface, then measure the depth of the damp sand (D). 3.2.3.4 Empty the sand into another container, being careful not to lose any, and half fill the first container with water. 3.2.3.5 Pour back about half of the test sample of sand slowly into the water so that it is entirely saturated. Rod it thoroughly to remove any air. 3.2.3.6 Add the rest of the sand, rodding again to remove, and level off the surface. Measure the depth of the saturated sand (S), which will be less than the depth of the damp sand. 3.2.3.7 Calculate the percentage bulking, using formula: [(D -S) x 100%]/S = percentage bulking; where D = depth of damp sand, and S = depth of saturated sand. Page 181 of 379 Region of Waterloo RESTORATION Section 00010 Waterloo County Governor's MASONRY MORTAR Page 5 of 6 House - Porch Restoration Project #22221 3.2.3.8 When batching the sand for use in mortar, increase the volume of the sand used by the percentage bulking shown in the test. For example, if the mortar mix is a standard 1:1:6 mix requiring 6 parts of sand and the percentage bulking is found to be 20%, the volume of sand used in the mortar should be: (6 x 12)/100 = 7.2 parts. To adjust for bulking, the actual mortar mix will therefore be 1:1:7.2 when this same damp sand is being used. 3.2.4 Preparation of Coarse Stuff: 3.2.4.1 Prepare measuring boxes to ensure accurate proportioning of lime putty and aggregates. 3.2.4.2 Take lime putty from bins, siphon off water by screening lime through muslin to remove excess water. 3.2.4.3 Adjust aggregate for bulking as described above. 3.2.4.4 Mix lime and sand thoroughly in paddle type mechanical mortar mixer for minimum ten (10) minutes. Do not add water. 3.2.4.5 Lime sand coarse stuff may be stored indefinitely if protected from air by storing in plastic air -tight bins. 3.2.5 Gauging of Coarse Stuff with Setting Aids [Hydraulic Lime, Po=olan, Cement] and Pigments: 3.2.5.1 Rework coarse stuff to regain workability prior to gauging with setting aids as follows: 1 Remix in the mixer for ten (10) minutes and continue further beating, ramming, and chopping by hand, ensuring thorough mixing to produce stiff workable mix. DO NOT ADD WATER. 2 Add mortar colouring additive and ensure thorough mixing with coarse stuff. .3 Slurry setting aid where required to prevent "balling" and add the coarse stuff. Mix thoroughly for minimum five minutes to produce workable, plastic mix, just wet enough to allow the mortar to hang on a trowel. .4 When gauging a setting aid with the coarse stuff the volume of coarse stuff is always equal to the total aggregate content, not the sum of the lime and aggregate. Thus a mix of 1 part setting aid to 3 parts lime and 9 parts sand will be gauged used 1 part setting aid to 9 parts of coarse stuff. 3.2.5.2 Measuring boxes are to be maintained for all mortar constituents. 3.2.5.3 Measuring container is to be maintained for the correct quantity of water for use in all batches. 3.2.5.4 Thoroughly clean all mortar boards, measuring boxes and mixer between batches. 3.2.5.5 Use mortar within two hours and without tempering. Tempering mortar will result in colour change where pigments are used.

It contains a two-storey single -detached dwelling converted to contain four dwelling -units. The building is known as the Joseph Shoemaker House (Figure 2). It was constructed c. 1840 to serve as the residence of Jacob Shoemaker, who was one of the founders of the Village of Bridgeport. Page 235 of 379 Figure 2: Front Fagade of Subject Property with Completed Roof Repairs and Added Dormers 38 Shirk Place was designated as it was determined to possess both historic / associative and physical / architectural value. As mentioned previously, the house was constructed for and served as the residence of Jacob Shoemaker, a prominent community member who helped to establish the Village of Bridgeport. In terms of architecture, the dwelling exhibits several significant details and elements. As a result of its historic and architectural significance, the subject property was designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by way of designating By-law No. 84-28 (Attachment B). The following physical attributes are identified by the designating by-law: • The whole of the exterior of the single detached dwelling • 12 over 12 and 8 over 12 paned windows; • Transomed second storey doorway; • Cornice mouldings; • Six bay Georgian principle fagade; and • Secondary facades that are triple brick laid in Flemish bond and covered by lightly lined stucco wash. Designating By-law No. 84-28 concludes that the dwelling is a rare example of a substantial merchants dwelling from 1840. Page 236 of 379 Work Proposed The work proposed in this application includes the construction of a detached two -car garage, one -and -a -half storeys in height and 30 feet by 30 feet in width and depth (Figure 3). White vinyl horizontal siding is to be used, in addition to vinyl windows with internal grilles. The shape of the windows is representative of those found in the single -detached dwelling, with differences in size and proportions. A gable roof with symmetrical dormers constructed from black steel is also proposed. This is the same material used for the new roof recently installed on the designated heritage home. Figure 3: Front and Side Fagade of Proposed Detached Garage The new construction is proposed to be in the rear of the property (Figure 4). Due to its setback from the property lines and the existing sloped topography of the area, the new garage will not be visible from either Lancaster Street West or the laneway the subject property is on (see photographs in Attachment A). It will be located approximately 7.6 metres (25 feet) to the east of the designated heritage home. The detached garage is proposed to be partially built into the slope at the rear of the property, though some grading will be required (Figure 5-6). Page 237 of 379 Figure 4: Location of New Construction Outlined in Red Figure 5: Rear Yard of Subject Property — View from Heritage Home Figure 6: Rear Yard of Subject Property The purpose of the proposed work is to increase the storage capacity of the subject property. Specifically, the owners are seeking to construct a place capable of storing outdoor maintenance equipment in addition to vehicles. The proposed work is in accordance with Parks Canada's Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historical Places in Canada. In particular, the following are met: • Conserve the heritage value and character -defining elements when creating any new additions to an historic place or any related new construction Page 238 of 379 • Make the new work physically and visually compatible with, subordinate to, and distinguishable from the historic place. • Create any new additions or related new construction so that the essential form and integrity of an historic place will not be impaired if the new work is removed in the future. • Achieve compatibility with the insertion of a new element through form, material, and detailing, or through proportion, scale, or massing. Heritage Planning Comments In reviewing the merits of the application, Heritage Planning Staff note the following: • The subject property municipally addressed as 38 Shirk Place is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by way of designating By-law No. 84-28; • The heritage attributes identified within the designating by-law relate only to the single -detached dwelling located on the property, and no other elements of the property itself. Further, no vistas or views are identified as being a heritage attribute; • The proposal is for the construction of a two -car garage, one -and -a -half storeys in height and 30 feet by 30 feet in size; • The materials proposed to be used are the most cost-effective option and make the project viable. Further, they are used in the design in a manner that respects and is compatible with the heritage attributes of the property; • The detached garage is to be located in the rear of the property and will not be visible from any street line or from the front of the subject land; • The detached garage is setback 7.6 metres (25 feet) from the heritage structure and will have a neutral impact on the existing dwelling; • The purpose of the project is to increase the storage capacity of the site for both vehicles and outdoor maintenance equipment, to improve site functionality while maintaining the integrity of the historic place; • The proposed work is consistent with Parks Canada Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historical Places in Canada with respect to being compatible but distinct in design and visual appearance, and avoiding impact to the integrity of the historic place; and • The proposed work will not adversely impact the reasons for designation of the subject property, nor will it adversely impact the Shirk Place streetscape, Lancaster Street West streetscape, Woolwich Street streetscape, or adjacent properties.

Box 1118, Kitchener ON N2G 4G7 519-741-2426; planningCu)-kitchener.ca PART A: SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS Page 1 of 10 The following requirements are designed to assist applicants in submitting sufficient information in order that their Heritage Permit Application may be deemed complete and processed as quickly and efficiently as possible. If further assistance or explanation is required please contact heritage planning staff at heritage(ukitchener.ca. 1. WHAT IS A HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION? The Province of Ontario, through the Ontario Heritage Act, has enacted legislation to assist its citizens with the protection and conservation of cultural heritage resources. Once properties are designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, the City is enabled to manage physical change to the cultural heritage resources as a means of protection. The principal mechanism of management is the Heritage Permit Application process, which allows the municipality to review site-specific applications and determine if proposed changes will beneficially or detrimentally affect the reasons for designation and heritage attributes. As a general rule, the preferred alterations to heritage properties are those that repair rather than replace original heritage attributes, and those that do not permanently damage cultural heritage resources and their heritage attributes. Where replacement of materials or new construction is necessary, these should be compatible with the original. Reversibility is also preferable as this allows for the future reinstatement of heritage attributes. According to the Ontario Heritage Act, no owner of designated property shall alter the property or permit the alteration of the property if the alteration is likely to affect the property's heritage attributes, unless the owner applies to the council of the municipality and receives written consent. This consent is obtained through the approval of a Heritage Permit Application. Heritage Permit Applications are applicable for all individually designated properties (under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act) and all properties located within the boundaries of Heritage Conservation Districts (designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act). 2. WHEN IS A HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION REQUIRED? Under the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, any new construction or "alteration" to a property designated under Part IV of the Act (individually designated property) or a property designated under Part V of the Act (within a Heritage Conservation District) requires a Heritage Permit Application. "Alteration" is defined as: "to change in any manner and includes to restore, renovate, repair or disturb." In addition, the approval of a Heritage Permit Application is required for any demolition of a property designated under Part IV or V of the Act. Please contact Heritage Planning staff directly to confirm if your specific project requires the approval of a Heritage Permit Application. Below are some examples of typical Part IV alterations that may require a Heritage Permit Application: • Addition and/or alteration to an existing building or accessory building • Replacement of windows or doors, or a change in window or door openings • Change in siding, soffit, fascia or roofing material • Removal and/or installation of porches, verandahs and canopies • Removal and/or installation of cladding and chimneys • Changes in trim, cladding, or the painting of masonry • Repointing of brick Working together • Growing thoughtfully • Building community rage 2022 Page 2 of 10 Note: Heritage Permit Application requirements differ between Part V designations depending on the policies and guidelines of the respective Heritage Conservation District Plans. Please refer to the City of Kitchener's website at www.kitchener.ca/heritage to download a copy of the relevant Heritage Conservation District Plan (Civic Centre Neighbourhood, St. Mary's, Upper Doon, and Victoria Park Area). 3. WHAT INFORMATION IS REQUIRED WITH A HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION? The information required varies with each application. The intent of the application is to ensure that Heritage Planning staff and, where required, the Heritage Kitchener committee understand the specific details of any proposed changes in order to be sufficiently informed so they may offer advice to the applicant and, where required, to City Council. An incomplete application cannot be processed and the official notice of receipt (as required under the Ontario Heritage Act) will not be issued until all of the documents have been submitted. Failure to provide a complete application may result in deferral by Heritage Planning staff or the Heritage Kitchener committee in order to secure additional information, which will delay final approval. At minimum, the following information is required: Heritage Permit Application Form The applicant must provide a complete original copy, including signature of the owner, of the Heritage Permit Application Form. Written Description The applicant must provide a complete written description of all proposed work. The description should complement drawings, detailed construction plans, photos and any other sketches or supporting information submitted with the application.

Photos of the specific areas that may be affected by the proposed alteration, new construction, or demolition must be included. Electronic copies of construction and elevation drawings, sketches, and photographs, along with hard copies submitted with the application, are encouraged. Working together • Growing thoughtfully • Building community rage 2022 Samples Page 3 of 10 It is recommended that applicants bring samples of the materials to be used to the Heritage Kitchener meeting when their application is to be considered. This may include a sample of the windows, brick, siding, roofing material, as well as paint chips to identify proposed paint colours. Other Required Information In some circumstances Heritage Planning staff may require additional information, such as a Heritage Impact Assessment or Conservation Plan, to support the Heritage Permit Application. The requirement for additional information will be identified as early on in the Heritage Permit Application process as possible. Pre - consultation with Heritage Planning staff before formal submission of a Heritage Permit Application is strongly encouraged. 4. WHAT CAN I DO IF MY HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION IS DENIED? City of Kitchener Heritage Planning staff and the Heritage Kitchener committee endeavour to come to solutions for every Heritage Permit Application submitted. Discussions with the applicant and revisions usually result in successful applications. However, if the municipality refuses your application and you choose not to resolve the issue with a revised application, you have the option of appealing the decision to the Conservation Review Board (for alterations to designated properties under Part IV) or the Ontario Municipal Board (for demolition of property designated under Part IV or for any work to designated property under Part V). 5.

Garage doors 9' tall by T wide. 6. REVIEW OF CITY OF KITCHENER HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Describe why it is necessary to undertake the proposed work: This project is required to improve the storage capacity for the property. The lot and structure is sizable and requires ongoing maintenance. Currently there exists no meaningful storage space for things like a riding lawnmower, a snow plow, hedge trimmer, tools for maintaining structure itself, and supplies required to maintain said property/structure. Describe how the proposal is consistent with the Part IV individual designating by-law or the Part V Heritage Conservation District Plan: The designated by-law makes reference to the significance of the windows as such:, "...significant details including "some 12 over 12" and 8" over 12" paned windows", which we propose to mirror exactly in the proposed window design, albeit smaller given the size disparity between the existing windows and our proposed windows for the detached garage. The door will have a 3/4 lite which will have grilles which align with the Georgian style of this property. We also want to incorporate a gable roof and symmetrical dormers in keeping with the Georgian style, as well as mirroring the existing buildina itself. The proposed horizontal white sidina is in keepina with the aae of the oriainal structure as illustrated by existing siding on the Joseph Schneider Haus (1820) at 466 Queen St. S, Kitchener. Describe how the proposal Is consistent with ParksCanada's Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada (www.historicplaces.ca/en/pages/standards-normes.aspx): We believe Standard 11 and Standard 12 are the most applicable for the proposed project as described in this permit application. The introduction of the proposed garage shall be "physically and visually compatible with, subordinate to, and distinguishable from the historical place" in that the structure themselves will be visually compatible with classic Georgian -style architecture, while the fresh white siding will distinguish the proposed structures from the historic place itself. We believe our efforts strike an adequate and desirable balance between the objectives as outlined in Standard 11. Relating to Standard 12, the proposed detached garage will be located approximately 25' from the existing heritage building. Should its removal ever be deemed appropriate or reauired, it will in no way neaatively impact the existina heritaae desianated structure. 7.

Progress Pictures (Facade) September 2020 March 2022 Joseph Schneider Haus (White horizontal siding) Page 255 of 379 Cost Estimate: $80,000 Vinyl Windows Justification: As outlined in our previous Heritage Permit Application, the cost disparity between wooden windows and vinyl windows is sizable. It becomes prohibitive in nature when considering the overall scope of work and the cost associated with one component. In addition to the cost; the reliability, longevity, and efficiency of vinyl windows far outpaces that of wooden windows. Furthermore, vinyl windows were approved for the replacement of the existing, original wooden windows for the Heritage Building itself; 10 such windows have already been replaced in the rear unit which sits adjacent the proposed garage location. Vinyl Siding Justification: Vinyl siding is a modern, effective building material for protecting structures from the Canadian elements. Again, cost is a primary consideration when comparing the various cladding materials and vinyl siding, albeit not cheap, is considerably more cost-effective than any other cladding material currently available. Further, it closely resembles that of more traditional wood siding that was more common when this Heritage Building was constructed although it adequately distinguishes itself from wood, thus ensuring the distinction between 'original structure' and 'new buildings/additions' is achieved. In addition to these points, in our previous Heritage Permit Application vinyl siding was approved for a proposed second story addition on the Heritage Building itself (rear, yellow brick addition to original red brick building). It certainly would seem odd for vinyl siding to be approved for a second -floor addition to the original structure and not for a detached structure. Regarding both the windows and siding material; the proposed garage location sits behind the main building and is shielded from road view by trees and foliage. Any Heritage Building enthusiasts would not actually be able to view the structure without trespassing on the property; or securing permission to tour it beforehand. Our goal from the outset with this project was to breathe life into the property in a way that respects its heritage significance to our region while ensuring it lasts for another century or more. Our objective for this garage is in keeping with that goal insofar as it aligns with the appropriate design features present at the time the original structure was built while utilizing contemporary building materials to guarantee longevity and cost -efficiency. Page 256 of 379 Previously Approved Heritage Permit Application Job Description for Rear Addition Written Description: To erect a partial second story on the right -rear structure of 38 Shirk PI. The addition would see full 8' walls erected on the left side of the second floor of the existing yellow brick rear addition on the property (as indicated in the elevation drawing provided). The addition would be constructed following modern Ontario Building Code materials and standards i.e. lumber, vapour barrier, appropriate R - Value insulation, etc. A gabled roof design will be used to mirror the existing structures. This addition would not be visible from the street nor would it be visible from the front of the home. There is no work being done to the property which affects the Heritage Attributes outlined in the Designating Bylaw for 38 Shirk PI. Windows: The proposed windows would mirror those outlined previously within this application with appropriate symmetrical grill patterns. They would be vinyl frame, interior grill, SDL cross member to delineate between upper and lower panes, and white in colour. Soffit: Soffit would be white, vented aluminum to ensure longevity of the material and adequate venting for roof longevity. Material specifications and installation guidelines can be located in the Gentek Brochure attached in this application. Frieze Board: Frieze board would be comprised of a square stepped detail to replicate the aesthetic detail found elsewhere on the home and be capped in black aluminum flashing to ensure longevity of the project. A picture of the intended profile for the Frieze Board can be located in this application. Material specifications and installation guidelines can be located in the Gentek Brochure attached in this application. Fascia: Fascia would be standard 2x6 capped in black aluminum flashing to ensure longevity of the project.

Description of Necessity of Work This project is a necessary step in improving the liveability of this unit. In its current form, the unit does not allow for adequate living space on the main floor while ensuring all necessary components of a home are present. The mindset then is to accommodate for those required living features in the attic but ceiling heights are well below the necessary minimums for living space. This leaves the option of increasing the ceiling height above, thus allowing for the necessary features to be installed within the home. The goal for this unit is to ensure comfort, longevity, and appropriate aesthetics are established for many years and generations to come. Consistency with Designating Bylaw There is no specific reference to any important Heritage discerning features that influence this proposed new construction within the designating bylaw with the exception of the windows. However, the existing windows in the yellow brick addition do not reflect those detailed in the designating bylaw. We would like to update the windows in question with those that mirror the ones referenced in the designating bylaw (8 over 12, 12 over 12, or 6 over 6 pane style, depending on window openings). This should ensure that consistency with the window styles is in accordance with historical relevance. It will also ensure consistency in the window design in relation to the rest of the home. Standards and Guidelines As per our discussion with Victoria Grohn, please review previously referenced Standards in relation to our proposed new construction outlined above.

Gentek roll -formed fascia is supplied in 100 mm (4"), 152 mm (6") and 203 mm (8") widths, in 3 m (10') lengths. Soffit and fascia can be installed in new constructions as well as in re -siding projects. Soffit Installation In new residential construction the building contractor must prepare for Gentek soffit application by installing a 50 mm x 50 mm (2" x 2") nailing strip (see Fig. 1), on which will be installed a soffit "J" trim. This nailing strip is seldom necessary in renovation soffit applications because it is usually possible to nail a soffit "J" trim directly to existing wood surfaces. The bottom edge of this nailing strip and the fascia board must be at the same level. Measure from the bottom of the installed soffit "J" to the outer face of the fascia board and cut soffit panels 6 mm (1/4") shorter than this measurement, using a circular saw with suitable metal -cutting blade. Note: Because the distance from the building wall to the fascia board may vary by more than 6 mm (1/4") throughout the wall length, it is wise to check the measurement at several points before cutting fascia panels. To begin soffit installation, nail soffit "J" trim to nailing strip or to other wood surface at the corner where wall and soffit meet. Note: Nail on 400 mm (16") centres with 25 mm or 38 mm (1 " or 1 1/2") aluminum nails. 8 Page 269 of 379 Proposed Roof Material Page 271 of 379 � » (C) (D N) A N) k U A (D �LLfjCL� J 2 k / ) Q \ � / § \ 3 «R\7 § § \ / E CL / _\ 22 £E § 2 \ / &EJ \ \ 7 § \ no ® § / k// � c o g =r / 2 2 % 2 8 ° \ 2 ƒ M.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Heritage Permit Application HPA-2022-IV-017 proposes demolition of an existing addition and construction of a new one -storey addition in the rear yard of the subject property municipally addressed as 49 Heins Avenue. The building has been designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act and is within the Victoria Park Area Heritage Conservation District. In reviewing the merits of this application, Heritage Planning Staff note that the proposed work meets the policies and guidelines of the Victoria Park Area Heritage Conservation District Plan, and that it will not adversely impact the heritage attributes or character of the subject property or surrounding area. BACKGROUND: The Development Services Department is in receipt of Heritage Permit Application HPA- 2022-V-019, which seeks permission to construct a rear addition on the property municipally addressed as 49 Heins Avenue, located within the Victoria Park Area Heritage Conservation District (Figure 1). a PARK., 32 fir` '11 1•,_17. 1... 2.2122 44 45 f' X47 ; 9 ..`, i' 4,gg 505152' +� /54 53 �l <56:'f yr 4 1111D0 REPORT: C' I a ,11.1 1:35 Figure 1: Location Map of Subiect Propertv Victoria Par SPORTSFIEI The subject property is located on the east side of Heins Avenue, between the intersections of Heins Avenue and Jubilee Drive to the south and Heins Avenue and Joseph Street to the north. The property is located within the Victoria Park Area Heritage Conservation District (VPAHCD) and is designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act. The VPAHCD Study describes the subject property as being an attractive two -and -a -half storey red brick house, built 2.1912. The dwelling is largely done in in the Berlin Vernacular Page 279 of 379 architectural style, though it also possesses some Queen Anne decorative features. It has a full -width front verandah and shingled gable with Venetian window (Figure 2). There is an existing rear yard addition on the property with a rooftop walk -out and surrounding deck. The property also contains a detached accessory structure located in the northeast portion of the rear yard. Figure 2: Front Facade of Subject Property Proposed Work Demolition of Existing Rear Addition The existing addition is in the rear of the subject property and is not visible from Heins Avenue. According to information provided by the agents for this application, the addition has a wood frame construct with clapboard siding (Figures 3-4). The addition does not appear to be original to the dwelling, but the City does not have any record of its approval. As such, the exact construction date is unknown. The demolition policies in the VPAHCD Plan presumes the demolition of entire structures, it does not reference the demolition of removal of portions of buildings. As such the demolition policies are not applicable to this application. Page 280 of 379 Figure 3: Side Elevation of Existing Rear Addition Construction of New Rear Addition Figure 4: Rear Elevation of Existing Rear Addition There is policy direction within the VPAHCD Plan pertaining to the constructions of additions on properties within the HCD. While these provisions recognize that additions may become necessary to homes to provide more living space to accommodate growth, it notes that it is important for such new construction to be complementary to the architectural style and character of the existing dwelling. In this way a good fit between the old and the new is ensured. New additions are encouraged to be constructed in a contemporary style to express today's architectural heritage, rather than directly copy the existing historic style of the property. There are more detailed policies that relate to the location, design, height, materials, roofs, chimneys, walls, entrances, windows, verandahs, and colours of building additions within the district. Building additions must adhere to these policies. Application HPA-2022-V-019 seeks permission to construct a new, one -storey rear addition in place of the old (Figure 5-7). The addition is proposed to be 44.46 square metres (478.58 square feet) in size, and only a small portion will be located in the rear side and visible from the street. It will be clad in Gentek Horizontal Double 4" Clapboard in the colour "Snow White 001", which closely matches the siding of the existing addition. Heritage Planning Staff are supportive of this type of siding, being wood and therefore historically appropriate. A gable roof over the back of the addition and hip roof over the portion of the addition to the rear side is proposed. Asphalt shingles in a grey colour similar to the existing roof will be used. A transom window in a similar shape and style, though differing size and proportions, to that found on the front of the house is to decorate the rear. Under the transom window is a sliding glass door with flanking double -hung windows. The windows and doors are to be white vinyl (Figures 8-11).

Bricks from the rear are to be salvaged for reinstallation of the one window. The window is to be re -located slightly and its size reduced, but the single -hung style will be maintained, and the brick header reinstated. A new window will replace the existing door. It is proposed to be the same width as the door, so that the brick header detail can remain. These two new windows will be white vinyl with full "Rainware White" vinyl frames, to match the windows and doors on the new addition. While this alteration will impact existing window and door openings, the window and door impacted are not on a principal fagade and the changes will not be visible from the street. Page 283 of 379 a Figure 3: Existing Windows and Door Figure 3: Rendering of Proposed New Windows Heritage Planning Comments In reviewing the merits of the application, Heritage Planning Staff note the following: • The subject property municipally addresses as 49 Heins Avenue is designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act and is located in within the Victoria Park Area Heritage Conservation District; • The proposal is for the demolition of an existing rear addition, construction of a new 1 -storey rear addition, and alteration to two window and door openings on the rear fagade of the primary historical dwelling; • The proposed addition meets the following VPAHCD Plan policies for building additions: o Location - Additions shall be located to the rear or rear side of the existing historic building so as to maintain the original principal fagade as a visual entity. ■ The majority of the proposed addition is located to the rear o the existing historic dwelling, with a small portion visible to the rear -side. The original principal fagade is maintained. o Design — A clear distinction between old and new building design is encouraged. Contemporary design for additions is encouraged that is complementary in terms of scale, mass, and texture to the existing or neighboring historic building. ■ The proposed addition is distinct from the original historic building through the use of differing but complementary colours and materials. Further, the proposed scale and massing of the addition respects the existing dwelling. o Materials — For additions, materials typical of the Area shall be used, with an emphasis on brick, stone, and wood. ■ Clapboard is proposed for the siding of the addition.

In additions, masonry chimneys should be given priority over metal. ■ The original brick chimney on the dwelling is to remain o Entrances — New entrances to additions are encouraged to be located on secondary rather than principal facades ■ The new entry to the addition is located on a side — and therefore secondary — fagade. o Windows - The appearance, placement, and proportion of height to width of windows shall be similar or complementary to the existing historic building style or as established in the vicinity. ■ The windows of the proposed addition are in keeping with the windows on the existing dwelling, or otherwise reflect the design and style of the original windows while differing in specific size and proportion. o Colours - Colours of paint and materials shall be appropriate to the historic style of the building or as established in the Area. ■ The colours on the proposed addition are in keeping with the historic style of the building and with other buildings within the Victoria Park Area Heritage Conservation District. • The proposed work will not adversely impact the heritage attributes or character of either the subject property, adjacent properties, or surrounding area.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Heritage Permit Application HPA-2022-IV-018 proposes to restore the upper portion of the front elevation of the subject property municipally addressed as 137-147 King Street East, through the reconstruction of the wall above the third -storey windows, installation of a new *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance. Page 309 of 379 heavy cornice with dentil blocks and metal capping, and reconstruction of the parapet. The building has been designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act through designating By-law No. 2012-025. A structural assessment undertaken in April determined that the upper portion of the front elevation was deteriorated as a result of extensive water infiltration and in unsafe condition. Immediate removal was recommended, and a building permit issued in May of this year. In reviewing the merits of this application, Heritage Planning Staff note that the proposed work meets Parks Canada's Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historical Places in Canada, and that it will not adversely affect the identified heritage attributes of the building. BACKGROUND: The Development Services Department is in receipt of Heritage Permit Application HPA- 2022-IV-018, which seeks permission to install a new fiberglass cornice and pre -finished metal flashing in addition to reconstructing a parapet on the property municipally addressed as 137-147 King Street East (Figure 1). A structural assessment of the building was undertaken by Witzel Dyce Engineering Incorporated on April 29, 2022. The assessment determined that the condition of the brick below the soffit was unsafe and immediate removal of the deterioration portions was recommended. A building permit was issued on May 19, 2022 to remove the deteriorated parapet detail, exterior, and Ioadbearing brick above the third -floor windows. REPORT: h i (- CITY COMMERCIAL.

It contains a multi- unit three-storey building constructed c. 1922. The building is a hybrid of both the Renaissance Revival and Art Deco architectural styles (Figure 2). Page 310 of 379 Figure 3: Front Fagade Prior to Partial Demolition — Flashing Removed for Structural Assessment The building addressed as 137-147 King Street East possesses design and physical value, being a representative example of early 20th century main street commercial architecture and a rare survivor of the vernacular style south-east of Frederick and Benton Street. It also features a high degree of craftmanship and detail. The subject property possesses historical and associative value through previous notable tenants who made significant contributions to the community. The building was the location of the Kitchener Conservatory of Music at a time when the organization's President was George Henry Ziegler, a member of the Waterloo Region Hall of Fame. Further, it has association with various trade and labour unions from the 1950s through to 2010. As a result of its design/physical and historical/associative values, the property was designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by way of designating By-law No. 2012-025 (Attachment C). The exterior physical heritage attributes on the front and side elevations of the building identified in the designating by-law include: • The square plan; • The stone foundation; • Rugged brick construction; • Decorative brickwork and masonry detailing; • Date stone that reads "1922"; • Precast masonry storefront; • Window and door openings; • Masonry sills; • Wood windows with multiple light transoms; • Heavy cornice with dentil blocks and metal capping; • Wood doors with semi -circular transom; • Roofline; and • Painted signage band on the north (west) elevation reading "Conservatory Sales Room" Page 311 of 379 As a result of water infiltration and freeze and thaw cycles, brick, mortar joints, and wood rafters on the subject property were found to be in a severely deteriorated condition (Figures 3-6). A structural assessment conducted by Witzel Dyce Engineering Incorporated concluded that the wall above the third -storey windows, cornice, and parapet were in unsafe condition and recommended immediate removal. A building permit was issued for the partial demolition on May 19, 2022.

The roofline and elevations of the building will be maintained to match the original in appearance (Figure 7).

As such the wood frame will not be visible and the appearance of the subject property will be maintained. The wood frame construction provides for a more durable approach which provides the cantilever required to support the cornice, without impacting the existing roof structure. Installation of New Cornice The new cornice assembly will be fiberglass in lieu of the original sheet metal sculpture. It will be formed with the original metal sculpture as a template, with the finish and colour matched. As such the overall appearance will be maintained. Pre -finished metal flashing colour -matched to the original colour will be installed and extend over the cornice detail. The cornice is to be installed with a two -degree slope towards the parapet, to improve drainage through reinstated scuppers in the upper parapet and prevent future water infiltration into the masonry construction below the new elements. This change is minimal and will not have any notable visual impact to the subject property. Reconstruction of Parapet As with the wall, the parapet is proposed to be constructed with wood framing. Roof membrane is proposed to wrap up and over the parapet as well as down the face of the cornice framing, and a Tyvek Air Barrier, and DensGlass Sheathing will also be installed. Page 313 of 379 The exterior is proposed to be covered with pre -finished metal flashing cut with drip -edges. This will provide further water drainage. The use of wood covered by metal flashing as opposed to the masonry originally used was recommended through the structural assessment completed for the building.

GEIM JOISTS Figure 8: Structural Detailing of Work (Attachment B) The proposed alterations are in accordance with Parks Canada's Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historical Places in Canada. In particular, the following are met: • Evaluate the existing condition of character -defining elements to determine the appropriate intervention needed — use the gentlest means possible for any intervention, respect heritage value when undertaking an intervention-, Page 314 of 379 • Make any intervention needed to preserve character -defining elements physically and visually compatible with the historic place and identifiable on close inspection. • Replacing in kind an entire element of the roof that is too deteriorated to repair — if the overall form and detailing are still evident — using the physical evidence as a model to reproduce the element. This can include a large section of roofing, a dormer, or a chimney. If using the same kind of material is not technically or economically feasible, then a compatible substitute material may be considered. • Improving the detailing of roof elements, following recognized conservation methods, to correct faulty details. For example, adjusting the slope of a cornice to prevent ponding, or introducing a new drip edge at the eave to better direct water runoff away from a masonry wall. Such improvements should be physically and visually compatible. Heritage Planning Comments In reviewing the merits of the application, Heritage Planning Staff note the following: • The subject property municipally addressed as 137-147 King Street East is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by way of designating By-law No. 2012-025; • The roofline and heavy cornice with dentil blocks and metal capping have been identified as heritage attributes contributing to the cultural heritage value or interest of the subject property; • Due to water infiltration and weather cycles over a period of years, elements of the property above the third -storey window, including the wall, cornice, and parapet, have deteriorated to an unsafe condition; • The structurally unsound portions of the property have been removed for public safety; • Replacement and restoration work with complementary materials that maintain the original appearance of the removed elements is proposed; • Appropriate installation and construction methods will ensure a long life for the new elements; • The proposed work is consistent with Parks Canada Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historical Places in Canada with respect to reproducing the elements using the original physical structures as a template and making appropriate and unobtrusive adjustments to correct faulty details; • The appearance of the identified heritage attributes affected will be maintained, and any notable changes in appearance to other elements are not visible from the street line; and • The proposed work will not adversely impact the reasons for designation of the subject property, nor will it adversely impact the King Street East streetscape of adjacent properties.

Box 1118, Kitchener ON N2G 4G7 519-741-2426; planningCu)-kitchener.ca PART A: SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS Page 1 of 10 The following requirements are designed to assist applicants in submitting sufficient information in order that their Heritage Permit Application may be deemed complete and processed as quickly and efficiently as possible. If further assistance or explanation is required please contact heritage planning staff at heritage(ukitchener.ca. 1. WHAT IS A HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION? The Province of Ontario, through the Ontario Heritage Act, has enacted legislation to assist its citizens with the protection and conservation of cultural heritage resources. Once properties are designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, the City is enabled to manage physical change to the cultural heritage resources as a means of protection. The principal mechanism of management is the Heritage Permit Application process, which allows the municipality to review site-specific applications and determine if proposed changes will beneficially or detrimentally affect the reasons for designation and heritage attributes. As a general rule, the preferred alterations to heritage properties are those that repair rather than replace original heritage attributes, and those that do not permanently damage cultural heritage resources and their heritage attributes. Where replacement of materials or new construction is necessary, these should be compatible with the original. Reversibility is also preferable as this allows for the future reinstatement of heritage attributes. According to the Ontario Heritage Act, no owner of designated property shall alter the property or permit the alteration of the property if the alteration is likely to affect the property's heritage attributes, unless the owner applies to the council of the municipality and receives written consent. This consent is obtained through the approval of a Heritage Permit Application. Heritage Permit Applications are applicable for all individually designated properties (under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act) and all properties located within the boundaries of Heritage Conservation Districts (designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act). 2. WHEN IS A HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION REQUIRED? Under the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, any new construction or "alteration" to a property designated under Part IV of the Act (individually designated property) or a property designated under Part V of the Act (within a Heritage Conservation District) requires a Heritage Permit Application. "Alteration" is defined as: "to change in any manner and includes to restore, renovate, repair or disturb." In addition, the approval of a Heritage Permit Application is required for any demolition of a property designated under Part IV or V of the Act. Please contact Heritage Planning staff directly to confirm if your specific project requires the approval of a Heritage Permit Application. Below are some examples of typical Part IV alterations that may require a Heritage Permit Application: • Addition and/or alteration to an existing building or accessory building • Replacement of windows or doors, or a change in window or door openings • Change in siding, soffit, fascia or roofing material • Removal and/or installation of porches, verandahs and canopies • Removal and/or installation of cladding and chimneys • Changes in trim, cladding, or the painting of masonry • Repointing of brick Working together • Growing thoughtfully • Building community rage 2022 Page 2 of 10 Note: Heritage Permit Application requirements differ between Part V designations depending on the policies and guidelines of the respective Heritage Conservation District Plans. Please refer to the City of Kitchener's website at www.kitchener.ca/heritage to download a copy of the relevant Heritage Conservation District Plan (Civic Centre Neighbourhood, St. Mary's, Upper Doon, and Victoria Park Area). 3. WHAT INFORMATION IS REQUIRED WITH A HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION? The information required varies with each application. The intent of the application is to ensure that Heritage Planning staff and, where required, the Heritage Kitchener committee understand the specific details of any proposed changes in order to be sufficiently informed so they may offer advice to the applicant and, where required, to City Council. An incomplete application cannot be processed and the official notice of receipt (as required under the Ontario Heritage Act) will not be issued until all of the documents have been submitted. Failure to provide a complete application may result in deferral by Heritage Planning staff or the Heritage Kitchener committee in order to secure additional information, which will delay final approval. At minimum, the following information is required: Heritage Permit Application Form The applicant must provide a complete original copy, including signature of the owner, of the Heritage Permit Application Form. Written Description The applicant must provide a complete written description of all proposed work. The description should complement drawings, detailed construction plans, photos and any other sketches or supporting information submitted with the application. The written description must include a list and the details of all proposed work including, but not limited to, proposed colours, materials, sizes, etc. Construction and Elevation Drawings Along with construction elevation drawings (drawn to scale) the applicant may also, but not in lieu of, submit a sketch of the proposed work made over a photograph. Drawings must be drawn to scale and include: a) Overall dimensions b) Site plan depicting the location of existing buildings and the location of any proposed new building or addition to a building c) Elevation plan for each elevation of the building d) Specific sizes of building elements of interest (signs, windows, awnings, etc.) e) Detailed information including trim, siding, mouldings, etc., including sizes and profiles f) Building materials to be used (must also be included in the written description) g) Construction methods and means of attachment (must also be included in the written description) Some of the above components may be scoped or waived at the discretion of Heritage Planning staff following discussion with the applicant. Photographs Photographs of the building including general photos of the property, the streetscape in which the property is located, facing streetscape and, if the property is located at an intersection, all four corners. Photos of the specific areas that may be affected by the proposed alteration, new construction, or demolition must be included. Electronic copies of construction and elevation drawings, sketches, and photographs, along with hard copies submitted with the application, are encouraged. Working together • Growing thoughtfully • Building community rage 2022 Samples Page 3 of 10 It is recommended that applicants bring samples of the materials to be used to the Heritage Kitchener meeting when their application is to be considered. This may include a sample of the windows, brick, siding, roofing material, as well as paint chips to identify proposed paint colours. Other Required Information In some circumstances Heritage Planning staff may require additional information, such as a Heritage Impact Assessment or Conservation Plan, to support the Heritage Permit Application. The requirement for additional information will be identified as early on in the Heritage Permit Application process as possible. Pre - consultation with Heritage Planning staff before formal submission of a Heritage Permit Application is strongly encouraged. 4. WHAT CAN I DO IF MY HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION IS DENIED? City of Kitchener Heritage Planning staff and the Heritage Kitchener committee endeavour to come to solutions for every Heritage Permit Application submitted. Discussions with the applicant and revisions usually result in successful applications. However, if the municipality refuses your application and you choose not to resolve the issue with a revised application, you have the option of appealing the decision to the Conservation Review Board (for alterations to designated properties under Part IV) or the Ontario Municipal Board (for demolition of property designated under Part IV or for any work to designated property under Part V). 5.

The design and physical values relate to the vernacular architecture of the building which features many intact original elements. The building is a representative example of early 20th century main street commercial architecture and a rare survivor of this style of building south (east) of Fredrick/Benton streets in downtown Kitchener. It features a high degree of detail and craftmanship including a pre -cast storefront, brick and masonry detailing, heavy cornice, and multiple light transoms. The historical and associative values relate to previous and notable tenants associated with individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to the community. From the 1940's through to the 1970's, the building was the locations of the Kitchener Conservatory of Music at a time when the organization's President was founder George Henry Ziegler, a member of the Waterloo Region Hall of Fame. In 1911, George H. Ziegler founded the Ziegler Associated Studios, which later became the Kitchener Conservatory of Music. Instruction was offered in piano, orchestra and band instruments, voice, guitar, theory, and elocution. George was a flautist with the 29th Regiment Band, the Toronto Philharmonic Orchestra and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. In addition, he was an organist and choir master at St. Peter's Church, St. Andrew's Church, and Trinity United from 1917-1950. He also organized the Kitchener -Waterloo branch of the Ontario Registered Music Teachers' Association, the Berlin Symphony Orchestra, the Kitchener Ladies' band, and the first Kitchener Boys' Band. He was leader of the 29th Regiment Band of the Scots Fusiliers of Canada, and of the Kitchener Musical Society Band. The Property also has a long time association with various trade union and labour associations from 1950's through to 2010. It served as headquarters of the K -W Labour Association which included local unions from the Canadian Association of Public Employees, the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, the United Packing House Workers of America, the United Rubber Workers of America, and the United Steel Workers of America. There is designated as being of cultural heritage value or interest the following key attributes of the building where it stands, on the front and side elevations that embody the heritage value of 137-147 King Street East as a representative example of vernacular commercial building: • The square plan; • The stone foundation; • Rugged brick construction; • Decorative brickwork and masonry detailing; • Date stone that reads "1922",- • 1922';• Precast masonry storefront; Page 329 of 379 IBI GROUP 101—410Albert Street I I Waterloo ON N2L 3V3 Canada tel 519 585 2255 1 1 ibigroup.com • Window and door openings; • Masonry sills; • Wood windows with multiple light transoms; • Heavy cornice with dentil blocks and metal capping; • Wood doors with semi -circular transom; • Roofline; and • Painted signage band on the north (west) elevation reading "Conservatory Sales Room" Images: -�� "� ..■rte �� 'GM Image 1: Overall Fagade Image 2: Existing Cornice/Parapet - A Image 3: Existing Metal Capping Image 4: Existing Metal Capping 4 Page 330 of 379 IBI GROUP 101—410Albert Street I I Waterloo ON N2L 3V3 Canada tel 519 585 2255 1 1 ibigroup.com Image 5: Brick Damage Image 7: Brick Damage Image 6: Brick Damage Image 8: Brick Damage Page 331 of 379 IBI GROUP 101—410AIbert Street I I Waterloo ON N2L 3V3 Canada tel 519 585 2255 1 1 ibigroup.com y Image 9: Existing Metal Capping Repair and Maintenance Recommendations The following repair and maintenance recommendations are based on the structural reviews carried out by Witzel Dyce Engineering Inc. refer to the attached appendices for reference materials from Witzel Dyce Engineering Inc and IBI Architects Inc. There was a structural assessment done by Witzel Dyce on April 29, 2022 outlining the severity of the deterirorating cornice and brick parapet. As such the recommendation was to remove the existing cornice and parapet as soon as possible from a life safety point of view (refer to attached appendix C & photos above). Please refer to the attached appendix D, outlining the structural implications of reinstating the masonry construction and metal cornice. We feel the detail section (refer to appendix B) provides a more durable approach with providing a wood frame construction that allows us to provide the cantilever required to recreate the same heavy cornice structure without having to affect the existing roof structure. We would also like to note that the wood frame structure will be covered with the heavy cornice detailing and will not be visible, therefore not effecting the historic elements of the building. This revised detail also provides a slope to the existing parapet to improve drainage through reinstated scuppers in the upper parapet to promote drainage and prevent against future failure and water penitrations into the masonry construction below the new framed elements. We feel this detail follows the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada section 4.3.3 Roofs guidline 15. 15. Improving — the detailing of roof elements, following recognized conservation methods, to correct faulty details. For example, adjusting the slope of a cornice to prevent ponding, or introducing a new drip edge at the eave to better direct water runoff away from a masonry wall. Such improvments should be physically and visually compatible. 6 Page 332 of 379 IBI GROUP 101—410Albert Street I I Waterloo ON N2L 3V3 Canada tel 519 585 2255 1 1 ibigroup.com The existing metal sculpture replicates what would be a stone cornice assembly. The material proposed for the cornice assembly is fiberglass in lieu of the original sheet metal sculpture and will be formed from the metal sculpture as its template, maintaining the same overall look. We feel this is an improvement as it will provide the same overall look and is a good compatible subsitute material that will last longer and maintain the historical presence. Colour to match existing. Please refer to the attached appendix E, the following manufacturers materials demonstrates how such a fiberglass assembly can replicate these heritage cornice details. Cost Estimate. We feel in the professional opinion from Witzel Dyce Engineering Inc and IBI Architects Inc an overall budget amount for the work as outlined and detailed in the attached appendies A & B for the repair and restoration of the parapet/ cornice detail is in the amount of $200,000.00.

Aubteen Pouramin Review and Comment: Structural Assessment WDE File No.: 13256-100 Date/Time: April 29, 2022 @ 11:00 Dennis Nadon, P.Eng Name: Hasan Basic, E.I.T A site review was conducted to assess the existing brick structure and cladding below the soffit on the front facing elevation at 137 King St. E. This assessment is a follow up from the assessment conducted April 12th in which WDE recommended the owner to remove the exterior metal flashing and siding in order to review the remaining structure and to confirm the extents and severity of the damaged areas. The existing condition of the upper portion of the wall can be seen in Photo #1. Observations: 1. Upon removal of the remaining tin flashing covering the parapet, the rest of the brick was visible for review. 2. The remaining uncovered brick was found to be in a severely deteriorating condition with mortar joints showing cracks. The wood nailer supporting the outermost wythe of brick was also found to be rotted along its length 3. It is likely that water has seeped in from the uppermost cladding and the brick and wood members have retained moisture. As a result, freeze and thaw cycles have caused the bricks to expand and contract. 4. The rafters which cantilever the soffit were also found to be in a deteriorating condition. In one location the rafter was found to be completely rotted through when picked at with a metal stake (Photo #2) Recommendations: 1. WDE has deemed the current condition of the brick below the soffit as unsafe. With deteriorating brick and wood elements in their current state, the likelihood of bricks and other structure falling off the building is high, posing a danger to the public below. The deteriorating structure is to be removed ASAP. The owner/contractor shall coordinate removals with the Municipal Heritage Department. The owner/contractor shall make arrangements for fencing to be placed around the base of the building along its entire length to ensure pedestrians are not at risk. See the attached detail for a demolition option with a list outlining the required works below: a. The existing roof structure should be shored from the inside providing a 2x4 wall on the innermost wythe of brick along the top of the existing sill plate. All remaining brick on the sill plate between ceiling joists should also be removed. The rafters should be supported by a jack and a king stud at each location. b. After shoring has been installed, the existing brick parapet wall, low roof and cantilevered rafters should be removed followed by the loadbearing brick down to the existing nailer plate at ceiling level. c. The existing wall that is to be demolished shall be replaced with a new wall. Details of the proposed wall assembly are to be confirmed later ` D. L.

During the removal of the old steel siding and existing cornice detail, the extent of the damage to the existing brick wall and cantilevered wood rafters has become more evident, ultimately leading to the shoring of the roof structure and removal of the brick wall above the V floor ceiling level. It is our opinion that the majority of this damage was the result of long term water ingress into the brick wall above the cornice roof level. The water was absorbed by the soft clay bricks and wood members leading to rot and decay of the structural members over time. It is our opinion that the new parapet detail should not be built out of masonry above the ceiling level. A wood framed construction will allow the parapet/cornice to be fully waterproofed and allow a new cantilever detail that does not affect the integrity of the roof framing members. We trust this meets your current requirements. Should you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact our office. Sincerely, Witzel Dyce Engineering Inc. D.

This cornice is made with 35% to 40% fiberglass content which makes it pound for pound stronger than steel. It is made from the same material as fiberglass boat — hulls so when it comes to holding up to the elements, there is no better material to use. A typical cornice will come in 8' lengths and inside/outside corners as well as custom corners are available. All of our cornices can be adjusted by plugging our molds so if you like a particular cornice but need to make some alterations, it may be possible. Our in-house mold department makes custom cornice relatively inexpensive so please feel free to design your own and we will make it a reality. This product offers the greatest advantage over our other cornices when paint -grade or pre -finished cornice of intricate detail and of larger proportion that will last a lifetime is required. For more options, please see our polyurethane crown moldings. d CR101x10 CR102x10 CR103x10 CR104x8 CR105x8 CR106x8 CR107x8 27-1/16 P x 27 H x 120 L 25-15/16 P x 16-1/16 H x 120 L 12-5/16 P x 39-5/16 H x 120 L 7" P x 12" H x 96" L 23-3/16 P x 13 H x 96 L 10" P x 24" H x 96" L 9-15/16 P x 30 H x 96 L - o CR108x8 CR109x8 CR110x8 CR110FXx8 CR111x8 CR112x8 CR113x8 16-1/8 P x 16-3/8 H x 96 L 9-7/16 P x 16-13/16 H x 96 L 12-7/8" P x 13-3/4" H x 96" L 12-7/8" P x 26" H x 96" L 3" P x 10-11/16" H x 96" L 13" P x 15" H x 96" L 13" P x 26-1/2' H x 96" L I CR114x8 CR115x8 CR116x8 CR117x8 CR118x8 CR120x8 CR121x8 22-7/8" P x 29" H x 96" L 15-1/2" P x 16-11/16" H x 96" L 13-3/8" P x 22-1/4" H x 96" L 22-1/2" P x 23-1/2" H x 96" L 22-3/4" P x 26" H x 96 L 13" P x 35" H x 96" L 16-1/8" P x 17-1/2" H x 96" L mg0joT CR122x8 CR123x8 CR124x8 CR125x8 CR126x8 CR127x8 CR128x8 12" P x 16" H x 96" L 11-5/8" P x 21-5/8" H x 96" L 6-3/4" P x 7" H x 96" L 15-3/4" P x 13-7/16" H x 96" L 3-1/4" P x 34-1/4" H x 96" L 6-1/2' P x 50" H x 96" L T P x 12" H x 96" L CR129x8 CR130x4 CR131x12 CR132x8 CR133x8 49-1/8" P x 41-3/4" H x 96" L 17-7/16" P x 23-1/2" H x 48" L 17-1/2" P x 36-3/8" H x 144" L 24-1/2" P x 50-13/16" H x 96" L 26-3/16' P x 35" H x 96" L Toll Free: 888-265-8661 • Fax: 888-344-2937 • www.RoyalCorinthian.com • RoyalCor@RoyalCorinthian.COa369 of 379 n7ge 7 RoyaLiteTM FRP Cornice Fiberglass Cornice Architectural Specifications 1.0 General 1.1 Description: A.
