In conclusion, the subject property has significant Cultural Heritage Value or Interest (CHVI) for its physical/design value and contextual values. The following provides the Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest: The property includes a dwelling constructed circa 1855 which is representative of the Ontario Farmhouse (orreferred to as the Loyalist Ontario Home) and is likely the last remaining dwelling from the former hamlet of Williamsburg. The property is historically linked to its surrounding. A moderate impact of destruction has been identified as the identified heritage attributes will all be removed. Alternative development options were explored, however, due to the extensive loss of heritage integrity, it is recommended that the existing dwelling be removed on the basis that the following will be completed: • Completion of an Interpretation Plan that acknowledges the historical contextual value of the property. If any artifacts or records are identified during demolition, the heritage consultant acting on behalf of the owner, should contact the necessary parties (i.e. Ken Seiling Waterloo Region Museum) to inquire if they meet the scope of the collection. 'The property was formerly known as 1198 Westmount Road. December 12, 2022 MHBC 15 Page 10 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 11_98 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Background In March of 2021, MHBC Planning, Urban Design and Landscape Architecture ("MHBC") was retained to complete a Heritage Due Diligence report for 1198 Fischer -Hallman Road 2, Kitchener, Ontario (the 'subject property") (see Appendix `A'). The proposed development includes the removal of all existing buildings and structures on the subject property and the construction of 14 blocks (Blocks A -F include 5 units and Blocks G -N include 16 units), two apartment towers (Tower A is 10 storeys with 119 units and Tower b is 14 storeys with 167 units) which front Fischer -Hallman Road. The total number if proposed units is 463. There is also a one storey amenity building between the towers along Fischer -Hallman Road and green amenity area within the centre of the development. There is a total of 207 parking spaces provided. A review of the City of Kitchener's Municipal Heritage Register confirms that the subject property is neither listed' nor designated under Part IV or Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act nor is it included as residing within the City of Kitchener's identified Cultural Heritage Landscapes. A pre -submission consultation meeting was held on July 7t", 2022 which identified the requirement of a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) and a Conservation Plan (if required). This HIA is based on the Terms of Reference provided by the City of Kitchener for the proposed development of the subject property (see Appendix `D'). The purpose of this scoped HIA is to assess any potential impact on cultural heritage resources as a result of the development and provide alternative development options, mitigation and conservation measures as necessary. This report is supported by the information provided in a Cultural Heritage Assessment Overview (2012) which was completed by MHBC as part of the road widening of Fischer Hallman Road from Ottawa Street to Bleams Road. 1.2 Description of Subject Lands The subject property is located at 1198 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener (legal description is Lt 2, Rcp 1483 Kitchener, Save & Except Pt 11 58r7o61 & pts 7 & 14 on Ex Plan Wr1o81139 City of Kitchener).

December 12, 2022 MHBC 18 Page 13 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 1198 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario 1.3 Heritage Status In order to confirm the presence of cultural heritage resources which have been previously identified, several databases were consulted. These databases include the City of Kitchener Municipal Heritage Register, the City of Kitchener Official Plan, Waterloo Region Public Building Inventory, the Ontario Heritage Act Register (Ontario Heritage Trust), the Canadian Register of Historic Places (CRHP), and the City of Kitchener Interactive Map. A review of the City of Kitchener's Municipal Heritage Register confirms that the property is neither listed' nor designated under Part IV or Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act nor is it included as residing within the City of Kitchener's identified Cultural Heritage Landscapes. The property was listed on the Heritage Kitchener Advisory Committee Inventory as a property 'under review', however, an evaluation was not completed as permission from the owner to access the property was not granted. A Cultural Heritage Assessment Overview was completed by MHBC in 2012 as part of the road widening of Fischer Hallman Road from Ottawa Street to Bleams Road. This assessment determined that the subject property had both physical and historical/ associative values, however, further research and investigation (i.e. building condition assessment) was needed to determine its cultural heritage value or interest. December 12, 2022 MHBC 19 Page 14 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 11_98 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario 1.4 Land Use and Zoning The subject property is currently zoned Residential Six (R-6), which permits multiple dwellings with a maximum Floor Space Ratio (FSR) of o.6 and maximum building height of 2.0.5 metres. The proposed cluster and stacked townhouses are permitted by this zoning category, but the proposed building heights (11-12 metres) and FSR would need to be amended to accommodate the proposed form of development. A rezoning would also be required to permit the proposed apartment/mixed use building. {COUNTRY HILLS ;.[ i 44000 iRID' JR© t'll ll '„ 9 1 o; �ROSENBERG - - 7_� l ERiNBROU Y } Figure 4 — City of Kitchener Interactive Map identifying subject property by blue line (Source: City of Kitchener Interactive Map, accessed October, 2020) December 12, 2022 MHBC 110 Page 15 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 1198 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario 2. 0 Description of Surrounding Area and Context The subject lands are located on the south end of the City of Kitchener and is surrounded by both residential and commercial development.

In Section 2, the Planning Act outlines 1.8 spheres of provincial interest that must be considered by appropriate authorities in the planning process. 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 other matters, matters of provincial interest such as, ... (d) the conservation of features of significant architectural, cultural, historical, archaeological or scientific interest; The Planning Act therefore provides for the overall broad consideration of cultural heritage resources through the land use planning process. 3.2 Provincial Policy Statement (2020) 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: 2.6.1 Significant built heritage resources and significant cultural heritage landscapes shall be conserved. 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. December 12, 2022 MHBC 112 Page 17 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 11_98 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario The PPS defines the following terms Significant: e) in regard to cultural heritage and archaeology, resources that have been determined to have cultural heritage value or interest. Processes and criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest are established by the Province under the authority of the Ontario Heritage Act. Built Heritage Resource: means a building, structure, monument, installation or any manufactured or constructed part or remnant that contributes to a property's cultural heritage value or interest as identified by a community, including an Indigenous community. Built heritage resources are located on property that may be designated under Parts IV or V of the Ontario Heritage Act, or that may be included on local, provincial, federal and/or international registers. Protected Heritage Property: means property designated under Parts IV, V or VI of the Ontario Heritage Act; property subject to a heritage conservation easement under Parts II or IV of the Ontario Heritage Act; property identified by the Province and prescribed public bodies as provincial heritage property under the Standards and Guidelines for Conservation of Provincial Heritage Properties; property protected under federal legislation, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This report evaluates the proposed development on subject land to determine cultural heritage value or interest and overall significance. 3.3 Ontario Heritage Act The Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O, 19go, c.o.18 remains the guiding legislation forthe 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 regulation sets forth categories of criteria and several sub -criteria. 3.4 Region of Waterloo Official Plan Chapter 3, Section 3.G of the Regional Official Plan provides policies regarding the conservation of cultural heritage resources which are related to the scope of this Heritage Impact Assessment as follows: 3. G Cultural Heritage Cultural heritage resources are the inheritance of natural and cultural assets that give people a sense of place, community and personal identity. Continuity with the past promotes creativity and cultural diversity. The region has a rich and diverse heritage, December 12, 2022 MHBC 1 1.3 Page 18 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 11_98 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario including distinctive cultures, traditions, festivals, artisans and craftspeople, landmarks, landscapes, properties, structures, burial sites, cemeteries, natural features and archaeological resources. These resources provide an important means of defining and confirming a regional identity, enhancing the quality of life of the community, supporting social development and promoting economic prosperity. The Region is committed to the conservation of its cultural heritage. This responsibility is shared with the Federal and Provincial governments, Area Municipalities, 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, the Area Municipality will ensure that a copy of the assessment is circulated to the Region for review. In this situation, the Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment submitted by the owner/applicant will be completed to the satisfaction of both the Region and the Area Municipality. 3. G.16 the Region will undertake a Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment and consult with the affected Area Municipality and the Regional Heritage Planning Advisory Committee prior to planning, designing or altering Regional buildings or infrastructure that may affect a cultural heritage resource listed on the region -wide inventory described in Policy ,3.G.4. The Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment will be reviewed and approved in accordance with the policies in this Plan. 3. G.17 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment will include, but not be limited to the following: (a) Historical research, site analysis and evaluation; (b) Identification of the significance and heritage attributes of the cultural heritage resource; (c) Description of the proposed development or site alteration; (d) Assessment of development or site alteration impacts; (E) Consideration of alternatives, mitigation and conservation methods; (f) Schedule and reporting structure for implementation and monitoring; and (g) A summary statement and conservation recommendations. December 12, 2022 MHBC 1 14 Page 19 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 11_98 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario 3. G.18 Where a Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment required in this Plan relates to a cultural heritage resource of Regional interest, the conservation recommendations will, wherever feasible, aim to conserve cultural heritage resources intact by. (a) recognizing and incorporating heritage resources and their surrounding context into the proposed development in a manner that does not compromise or destroy the heritage resource; (b) protecting and stabilizing built heritage resources that may be underutilized, derelict, or vacant; and (c) designing development to be physically and visually compatible with, and distinguishable from, the heritage resource. 3. G. 19 Where it is not feasible to conserve a cultural heritage resource intact in accordance with PolicY3.G.18, the conservation recommendations will: (a) promote the reuse or adaptive reuse of the resource, building, or building elements to preserve the resource and the handiwork of past artisans; and (b) require the owner/applicant to provide measured drawings, a land use history, photographs and other available documentation of the cultural heritage resource in its surrounding context. 3. G.20 Cultural Heritage Impact Assessments may be scoped or waived by the Region or the Area Municipality as applicable. 3.5 City of Kitchener Official Plan Section 12 of the Kitchener Official Plan (2014) provides the following policies regarding the conservation of cultural heritage resources as it relates to the scope of this Heritage Impact Assessment as follows: Objectives 12.1.1. To conserve the city's cultural heritage resources through their identification, protection, use and/or management in such a way that their heritage values, attributes and integrity are retained. 12.1.2. To ensure that all development or redevelopment and site alteration is sensitive to and respects cultural heritage resources and that cultural heritage resources are conserved. Section 12.C.1.19 states that in order to ensure conservation of the City's cultural heritage resources the City uses covenants and easements under the OHA as well as by-laws and agreements pursuant to the Planning Act. December 12, 2022 MHBC 115 Page 20 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 11_98 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario A Heritage Impact Assessment must be prepared by a qualified person in accordance with the minimum requirements outlined in the City's Terms of Reference for HIAs (Section 12.C.1.25). To ensure design/ integration of cultural heritage resources into development the City will prepare guidelines within an Urban Design Manual to conserve contextual value in areas in which the cultural heritage resources are located (Section 12.C.1.4.6). In addition to this, other policies are in place such as, 12. C.1.4.7. The City may require architectural design guidelines to guide development, redevelopment and site alteration on, adjacent to, or in close proximity to properties designated under the Ontario Heritage Act or other cultural heritage resources. This report is written within the framework of these policies to ensure compliance as it relates to the proposed development on the subject property. 3.6 City of Kitchener Cultural Heritage Landscape Study (2014) The City of Kitchener completed a cultural heritage landscape study in December of 2014. This purpose of this study is defined as follows, "to provide a working inventory of the City of Kitchener's cultural heritage landscapes which will serve as a planning tool in the assessment and management of these resources as the community changes to evolve." The subject lands are not within an identified Cultural Heritage Landscape Study. December 12, 2022 MHBC 1 16 Page 21 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 1198 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario 4.0 Historical Overview 4.1. Indigenous Communities The City of Kitchener is located on the Haldimand Tract, which on October 25, 1784, after the American Revolutionary War of Independence, was part of the 950, 000 acres granted to the Six Nations of the Grand River and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This grant was compensation for their role in the war and the loss of their traditional lands in New York (Wilfrid Laurier University, 202o). The City of Kitchener is included in the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishnawbe and Haudenosaunee peoples. The Haudenosaunee People also known as 'Six Nations' and 'Iroquois' were nations included in the Haudenosaunee Confederacy which originally included the Cayuga, Oneida, Onondaga, Mohawk, and Seneca. The Tuscarora joined in 1722, constituting the 'Six Nations.' Most of the Neutral tribe disappeared due to being destroyed or forced out by the Seneca and Mohawk tribes of the Six Nations around 168o-1685 as well as diseases and colonization while the remaining membersjoined the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (Wilfrid Laurier University, 2020). 4.2 County of Waterloo, Waterloo Township In 1784, General Haldimand, then Governor of Quebec, acquired six miles of land on each side of the Grand River from the Mississaugas (Bloomfield, 19). A tract of land 12 miles wide along the course of the Grand River were granted to the Six Nations Indians by the British in recognition of their support during the American Revolution. The land was later divided into four blocks; Block 2 later became Waterloo Township. In November 1796, the Six Nations drew up a deed for sale of Block 2 of the Haldimand Tract. The deed was recorded at Newark (Niagara on the Lake) and in February 1798 the title was registered and a Crown Grant was drawn for this block (McLaughlin, 21). The buyer was Colonel Richard Beasley, a Loyalist from New York, who had arrived in Canada in 1777. Beasley bought the 9316o acres of land along with his business partners, James Wilson and Jean -Baptiste Rousseaux (Bloomfield, 20). The land was then surveyed by Richard Cockrell who divided the township into upper and lower blocks (Hayes, 3). At this time, German Mennonite farmers from Pennsylvania were scouting out farmland in the area. Several of them went back to Pennsylvania and returned with their families the following year to buy and settle the land (Hayes, 5). December 12, 2022 MHBC 1 17 Page 22 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 1198 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario In order to raise the £io,000 needed to purchase their prospective land holdings, the Pennsylvanian farmers, led by Sam Bricker and Daniel Erb, established an association to acquire the approximately 60,00o acres, later known as the German Company Tract (GCT). The deed for the land was finally granted to the German Company and its shareholders on 24 July 1805 (Eby N-3, 1978). After the arrival of the GCT shareholders, settlement in the GCT slowed. Many immigrants were unable to leave Europe during the Napoleonic War, and the War of 1812 in North America also prevented many settlers from relocating tojoin their relatives. By 3.815 the conflicts had ended, and settlement to the GCT began to increase, with additional Pennsylvania Mennonite settlers, German - based settlers, and later English, Irish and Scottish settlers. A number of settlers from England, Scotland and Ireland came to Waterloo Township by assisted immigration and colonization schemes (Bloomfield, 55). In 1816, the GCT lands and Beasley's Lower Block were incorporated into Waterloo Township, and in 1853 became part of Waterloo County. The GCT was a unique survey that was done in equal sized farmsteads in contrast to the surrounding lots and concessions. This survey pattern had a lasting influence on the township that resulted in an irregular network of roads which followed the contours of the land and avoided high quality agricultural land.

December 12, 2022 MHBC 1 18 Page 23 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 1198 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario 4.3 Historical Overview of the Hamlet of Williamsburg In 1849, the Township of Waterloo was established which included the hamlet of Williamsburg which was situated within both the Histand3 Tract and the Bechtel Tract. The Histand Trace was purchased in 1804 by David Histand, an immigrant from Pennsylvania and was comprised of 726 acres of land. The Bechtel's Tract, which is immediately east of the Histand's Tract (Bloomfield, 404-405), was approximatelY3,15o acres in the south-central part of Block 2 bounded bythe Grand River and Block Line and sold to George Bechtel in 1800. The Heistand's tract was not subdivided into numbered lots and remained unsettled until a few decades after its purchase (Bloomfield, 404-405). In 1833, William Moyer laid out the hamlet that would become Williamsburg when it was established in 1837 (Waterloo Historical Society). By1844, a saw mill was erected by Abram Clemens and another in 1845 by William Moyer, the founder of the settlement (Waterloo Historical Society, 193-3). In 1867, the County of Waterloo Gazetteer and Directory stated that Williamsburg contains a large steam and water saw mill" (166). Over time, several historic buildings along Bechtel and Histand's Tract were removed. In 1966, Williamsburg is described as "-a little hamlet on the cross-roads, a few houses in the early days, many of them torn down but still the name lives on" (Helena Feasby, Tweedsmuir Book 4, 1966). In 1989, a mid _191h century rubble stone blacksmith shop situated on the north-west corner of Bleams and Westmount road east owned by William Hacker that was notable building of the hamlet was demolished (MHBC, 2012). The last buildings within the former Williamsburg community include the former Williamsburg School S.S. 7 (designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act) and the dwelling on the subject property (see Figure 8). 3 Also known as the "Heistand's Tract" December 12, 2022 MHBC 19 Page 24 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 11_98 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario Figure 8- Identification of remaining buildings within the former hamlet of Williamsburg in 1966; red circles indicate locations of remaining buildings of Williamsburg (Source: Tweedsmuir Histories, Grace Schmidt Room, Kitchener Public Library). 4.4 Historical Overview of the Subject Lands The subject property was considered to be within an urban' area within the hamlet of Williamsburg (part oft he Bechtel Tract) in historical cartography from 1.861 and 1881.(see Figures 9 & 1.o). The size and layout of the subject property remained the same between 1.861. and 1.881., however, has since been altered. In 1.861., the George Tremaine Map of the County of Waterloo identifies the subject property with the initials "C.H." Records associate this property with Conrad Hett and the adjacent property with his father Jost John Hett (Waterloo Generations). By1.851., Conrad emigrated from Darmstadt, Germanyto Wellesley Township, Waterloo Countywith his parents and sibling Henry. Conrad's father was identified in the 1.851. census as a farmer' born in Germany (Library and Archives Canada). In August of 1.855, Conrad married Maria Elizabeth Holz in Kitchener (then Berlin) and the following yeartheir daughter Catherine was identified as being born in Williamsburg, Ontario (Waterloo Generations). It is presumed that following their marriage, they settled in the hamlet of Williamsburg and constructed the existing dwelling on-site. There is an entry in the land registrythat Conrad Hett purchased the property in January of 1858 for 6 acres, however, records indicate he was residing in Williamsburg prior to this date (MHBC, 2012). Conrad continued to be identified as residing in Williamsburg in 1.858 (his daughter Anna Maria is identified as being born this year in Williamsburg).

Conrad continued to be identified as residing in Williamsburg in 1.858 (his daughter Anna Maria is identified as being born this year in Williamsburg). December 12, 2022 MHBC 120 Page 25 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 11_98 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario In the 1861 census, he was identified as a "spinning wheel maker" with a family of five living in a one and half storey plank house in Williamsburg. The agricultural census of Waterloo Township in the same year identifies that Conrad's spinning wheel business was worth $5oo.00 capital, zoo feet of lumber and it states that he "works bythe Haus" (MHBC, 2012). The Hett Family is not formally registered on title until 1862 when the land (2.4 acres) was purchased from William Moyer etux (LRO) (136 Folio 435, instrument number 2725). By 1867, however, the Hett Family moved to Bentinck, Grey South, Ontario and the property was owned by John Weber (although the purchase of the property was not registered until June of 1.866 for $400.00) (LRO). In the 1.867 tax assessment lists the property as including 7.5 acres of land valued at $375.00 and living on the property was John Weber and his family of 1o. The 1881 Illustrated Historical Atlas of Waterloo County demonstrates that there were buildings on the subject property. The property remained under the ownership of the Weber family until 1913. There were several owners following the Weber Family including; D. Detzler, J. Reist and J. Golbeck (Tweedsmuir Histories). In 1958, the property was granted to John Scherl who is identified in Voter's Lists as a 'labourer'and'maintenance'; according to Karen, his daughter, he was skilled at carpentry and had renovated the house (LRO, Library and Archives Canada, and Scherl, 2021). Throughout the years the property had included small-scale farming (a few hogs and sheep according to tax assessments) and an orchard. Historical aerial photography demonstrates that the dwelling was relocated to facilitate the widening of Fischer -Hallman Road in the latter half of the tot" century. Upon relocating the existing house, the foundation was removed and a new concrete foundation constructed as well as a rear addition. In 1999, John Scherl passed away and the property remained under ownership of his wife, Anna, and daughter, Karen, until its most recent purchase (Kitchener Waterloo Record). In 2o18, the barn associated with the property was removed and replaced with a contemporary outbuilding to the north of the existing house. A small outbuilding to the south of the existing house was also removed. Figures 9-16 review the evolution of the property within the context Williamsburg and the surrounding area.

The dwelling is approximately 13 metres by 8 metres in dimensions. The front fagade has two symmetrical windows on either side, however, it appears that the original centred doorway has been infilled. There is a chimney on the northwest side of the house. The entire building is clad in white stucco. Figures 18-20: (above left) View of the north elevation of the dwelling; (above right) View of the south elevation of the house including rear wing; (below left) Detailed view of front fagade; (below right) Detailed view of foundation (concrete) (MHBC, 2022). Building No. 2- Outbuilding There is a one and half storey outbuilding clad in metal siding with a low-pitched gabled roof. The outbuilding was constructed in 2oi8 in replacement of a barn. December 12, 2022 MHBC 13.1 Page 36 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 11_98 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario Figure 21: View of outbuilding on-site looking north-east (MHBC, 2022). 5.3 Existing Conditions A site visit was completed on July 21, 2022 by Nick Lawler of Tacoma Engineers (member of the Canadian Association of Heritage Professionals) to complete a structural heritage assessment (see Appendix `C'). Please note, a Building Condition Assessment was not completed on Building No.2 (outbuilding) as it was recently constructed and in excellent condition. The following provides a review of the observations completed as part of the assessment particular to Building No.i (dwelling): • The dwelling is constructed as a typical mid-igth century home, constructed with wood framing, supported on exterior masonry walls. The exterior walls have been covered with a render, or parge, which has been painted white. The age of the render is unknown, but appears to be from the early loth century, as it does not contain drainage planes, which are typical of modern applications of this type of covering. • Framing in the living area was mostly covered with finishes and was not accessible for view. The framing wasvisible in some attic areas, which had been left unfinished. The framing was found to be conventional wood framed construction. The sheathing was found to be early gypsum wall board, indicating that the original lathe and plaster had been removed. • The home contains a rear addition, which was originally used as a summer kitchen. The rear addition also contains a covered porch, which was reported to have been constructed by the most recent occupant. December 12, 2022 MHBC 132 Page 37 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 11_98 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario 5.4 Heritage Integrity Although the criteria of Ontario Regulation 9/o6 does not consider the integrity of a resource or its physical condition, the Ministry of Citizenship and Multiculturalism advises on Integrity (Page 26) and Physical Condition of properties (Page 27) in part of Section 4, Municipal Criteria of the Heritage Property Evaluation document of the Ontario Heritage Toolkit. In the matter of integrity the Guide notes that: A cultural heritage property does not need to be in original condition. Few survive without alterations on the long journey between their date of origin and today. Integrity is a question of whether the surviving physical features (heritage attributes) continue to represent or support the cultural heritage value or interest of the property. Cultural heritage value or interest may be intertwined with location or an association with another structure or environment. If these have been removed, the integrity of the property may be seriously diminished. Similarly, removal of historically significant materials, or extensive reworking of the original craftsmanship, would warrant an assessment of the integrity. The following provides a review of the integrity of the property based on observations on-site, historical documentation and a building condition assessment that was completed by a heritage engineer. A review of the integrity of the exterior form indicates that the original massing and scale of the existing building is similar to former dwellings of Williamsburg. The figures below provide a comparative analysis of architecture within Williamsburg (courtesy of the Grace Schmidt Room) and the existing dwelling on-site. An example of a building since removed is the former board and batten house of Jacob Frey torn down in the 2.970s "just south of the Williamsburg Corner" which had the same massing, scale and general form of the existing building on the subject property as well as a former Becker farmhouse (Hewitt, i99o, Tweedsmuir Family Farm Histories) (see Figures 22-24 on the following page).

A site visit was completed on Wednesday, March 24th, 2021 by MHBC to further examine the dwelling's heritage integrity. Observations made during the site visit both of the exterior and the interior of the dwelling determined the following as it relates to heritage integrity: • The dwelling lost its original foundation when it was relocated to allow for the widening of Fischer -Hallman Road in the latter part of the 20th century (confirmed by observations made in the basement of the house). • The original form and scale of the dwelling is present although alterations have been made to the original exterior. The house is clad in stucco potentially over wood frame building. There was also an addition made to the rear of the house upon relocation. December 12, 2022 MHBC 134 Page 39 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 1198 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario The central door opening on the front elevation appears to have been infiIled and covered by the stucco render; and, There have been alterations to the interior of the house including reworking of window sills/ frames, replacement of flooring and addition to the rear of the house. There were some cut nails with wrought heads present in timber around the sill plate that appears to have been included in the relocation (this would indicate pre -1867 construction for original building). A site visit was completed on July 21, 2022 by Nick Lawler of Tacoma Engineers (member of the Canadian Association of Heritage Professionals) to complete a structural heritage assessment (see Figure 22). The following provides a review of the building as it relates to heritage integrity: The interior of the home has been heavily modified from the date of original construction. The family of the previous occupant was present during our review. It was disclosed that the home was renovated back the original studs in the mid -loth century, likely to provide additional insulation value, and other modern improvements. As such, there is little to no historic fabric remaining on the interior of the home. • The home was found to be in fair condition, with no observed damage that would cause concern for building stability. However, no significant structural features were noted that would make the construction of the home historically significant. The Cultural Heritage Assessment Overview (2012) noted that `vertical plank construction may be found within the residence at 1198 Fischer -Hallman upon further investigation" (2-10). Based on this comment, the following was concluded by the heritage engineer: "The attic space the stud walls were partially exposed. The studs were conventional studs, and certainly not planks" (Lawler, 2022) (see Figure 25). Therefore, it has been determined that the house is not plank construction which appears in the 1861 census. Based on the massing, scale and roofline, the house is indicative of the mid 191h century, however, may have been wrongfully identified as'plank' (which only appears in the 1861 census). December 12, 2022 MHBC 135 Page 40 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 11_98 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario Figure 25: Photograph of interior composition of the house showing conventional studs (Tacoma Engineers Ltd., 2022). December 12, 2022 MHBC 136 Page 41 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 11_98 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario In summary, although the existing dwelling dates from the mid-i9t" century, several alterations have been made to the building that have seriously compromised the integrity of its original features and therein ability to inform the community of an earlier period of time. The relocation of the dwelling and loss of the original foundation in addition to the extensive renovations completed in the latter half of the tot" century, which have removed original building fabric, and more importantly do not appearto be reversible, have resulted in the significant loss of heritage integrity.

These criteria are related to design/physical, historical/associative and contextual values as follows: 1. The property has design or physical value because it: a. Is a rare, unique, representative or early example of a style, type, expression, material or construction method, b. Displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit, or c. Demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement. 2. The property has historical value or associative value because it, a. Has direct associations with a theme, event, belief, person, activity, organization or institution that is significant to a community, b. Yields, or has the potential to yield, information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture, or c. Demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect, artist, builder, designer or theorist who is significant to a community. 3. The property has contextual value because it, a. Is important in defining, maintaining or supporting the character of an area, b. Is physically, functionally, visually or historically linked to its surroundings, or c. Is a landmark. December 12, 2022 MHBC 139 Page 44 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 1198 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario 6.2 Evaluation of 1198 Fischer -Hallman Road, "The Hett Farmstead" Based on the prescribed Ontario Regulation 9/06, Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value or Interest, it has been determined that the property has Cultural Heritage Value or Interest (CHVI) for its physical/ design value, historical/ associative and contextual value as follows: Physical/Design Value: The property includes a dwelling constructed circa 1855 which is representative of the Ontario farmhouse (also known as the 'Loyalist Ontario Home') which includes the one and half storey massing, rectangularfloor plan (limited to approximately loosgft) symmetrical frontfagade and low- pitched gable roof with returning eaves. Historical Associative Value: After reviewing the chain of title of the property, it was determined that there are no associations with previous owners of the property that would be particularly significant to the community. The builder of the home likely would have been a member of the Hett Family, however, this cannot be confirmed. Contextual Value The development/ redevelopment of land surrounding the property and the removal of historic buildings on the property (i.e. barn, outbuildings) have significantly altered the context of the property. Furthermore, the dwelling was relocated and no longer in its original location. The property is, however, historically linked to its surrounding and is one of the remaining buildings within the former hamlet of Williamsburg from this era (the last buildings within the former Williamsburg community include: the former Williamsburg School S.S. 7 (designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act) and the dwelling on the subject property). Heritage Attributes: • Overall scale and massing of house; • Original low-pitched, gabled roofline with returning eaves; • Remaining original door and window openings; and, • Proximity to the intersection of Bleams and Fischer -Hallman Road which was the primary intersection of the Williamsburg community (formerly known locally as "Williamsburg Corner").

Impacts to a cultural heritage resource may also be site specific or widespread, and may have low, moderate or high levels of physical impact. According to the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit, the following constitutes negative impacts which may result from a proposed development: • Demolition of any, or part of any, heritage attributes or features; • Alteration that is not sympathetic, or is incompatible, with the historic fabric and appearance of a building; • Shadows created that obscure heritage attributes or change the viability of the associated cultural heritage landscape; • Isolation of a heritage resource or part thereof from its surrounding environment, context or a significant relationship; • Obstruction of significant identified views or vistas of, within, or from individual cultural heritage resources, • A change in land use where the change affects the property's cultural heritage value; and • Land disturbances such as a change in grade that alters soils, and drainage patterns that adversely affect a cultural heritage resource.

See sub -section 8.3.1. 8. 3.1 Impact of Destruction The proposed development will remove all identified heritage attributes of the property, however, these attributes are limited as the dwelling has undergone several alterations that have seriously compromised the integrity of its original features. Decemberiz, 2022 MHBC 145 Page 50 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 1198 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario 9 . 0 Consideration of Development Alternatives, Mitigation and Conservation Measures 9.1 Alternative Development Approaches When an adverse impact is identified, it is required by the Ministry of Citizenship and Multiculturalism4 that alternative development approaches be explored; this was also requested by the City of Kitchener Term's of Reference. The following provides an analysis of development options. i. Preservation- this option would require the least intervention by protecting and maintaining the existing dwelling on-site. Since there are few heritage attributes remaining, this option is not recommended for the preservation intervention. 2. Restoration- this option would result in the restoration of the dwelling to its earlier representation, however, the degree of non-reversible renovations and lack of documentation of the original building limits any potential for restoration and therefore, it not a strong candidate for restoration. 3. Rehabilitation- this option would result in the rehabilitation of the dwelling for a continued or new use by repairing and replacing minor features. New additions and/ or alterations would likely be necessary. The dwelling has been altered significantly as mentioned above, thatthere are limited minorfeaturesto be repaired and replacement would remove all value. Therefore, rehabilitation is not recommended. 4. Relocation- this option would result in the relocation of on-site or off-site, however, since the building has lost its integrity, it challenges the rationale for relocation. Relocation off-site would dissociate it from its historical context. In summary, although there is a moderate adverse impact associated with the removal of the remaining heritage attributes, re -development could be supported if the following mitigation measures in sub -section 9.2 were implemented. 4 Formerly the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries December 12, 2022 MHBC 146 Page 51 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 11_98 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario 9.2 Mitigation Measures If development proceeds as proposed the following mitigation measure is recommended: • Completion of an Interpretation Plan that acknowledges the historical/ associative and historical contextual value of the property. If any artifacts or records are identified during deconstruction, the heritage consultant acting on behalf of the owner, should contactthe necessary parties (i.e. Ken Seiling Waterloo Region Museum) to inquire if they meet the scope of the collection. As the proposal includes the removal of the dwelling, there are no applicable conservation measures. December 12, 2022 MHBC 147 Page 52 of 511 Scoped Heritage Impact Assessment 11_98 Fischer -Hallman Road, City of Kitchener, Ontario 10 . 0 Conclusions and Recommendations MHBC Planning, Urban Design and Landscape Architecture ("MHBC") was retained to complete a Heritage Impact Assessment for 1198 Fischer -Hallman Roads, Kitchener, Ontario based on the Terms of Reference provided by the City outlined in Appendix `D' of this report. In conclusion, the subject property has significant Cultural Heritage Value or Interest (CHVI) for its physical/design value and contextual values. The following provides the Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest: The property includes a dwelling constructed circa 1855 which is representative of the Ontario Farmhouse (orreferred to as the Loyalist Ontario Home) and is likely the last remaining dwelling from the former hamlet of Williamsburg. The property is historically linked to its surrounding. A moderate impact of destruction has been identified as the identified heritage attributes will all be removed. Alternative development options were explored, however, due to the extensive loss of heritage integrity, it is recommended that the existing dwelling be removed on the basis that the following will be completed: • Completion of an Interpretation Plan that acknowledges the historical contextual value of the property. If any artifacts or records are identified during demolition, the heritage consultant acting on behalf of the owner, should contact the necessary parties (i.e. Ken Seiling Waterloo Region Museum) to inquire if they meet the scope of the collection. 5 The property was formerly known as 1198 Westmount Road.

Site Specific Comments & Issues: Heritage Planning staff have reviewed the following documents which have informed the comments below: • Pre -submission Consultation Application for 1198 Fischer Hallman Road dated April 1, 2022 • Concept Plans for the proposed development at 1198 Fischer Hallman Road • Cover Letter for the proposed development dated April 8, 2022 The proposed development includes the construction of: • Two (2) 14 -storey towers on a 3 storey podium along Fischer Hallman Road, or one (1) 12 -storey tower fronting on Fischer Hallman Road; • Ninety-six (96) stacked townhouse units in 6 buildings; • Fifty-one (51), 3 -storey cluster townhouse dwellings framing Rockwood Road and the eastern property boundary; and • A private Stormwater Management Pond along Bleams Road. There are two concepts proposed to achieve this redevelopment. This redevelopment proposal includes the demolition of the existing structures at 1198 Fischer Hallman Road. A City for Everyone Working Together — Growing Thoughtfully — Building Community Page 63 of 511 Heritage Status The subject property municipally addressed as 1198 Fischer Hallman Road is identified on the Heritage Kitchener Advisory Committee Inventory as a property of interest that is 'Under Review'. It is a 2 -storey residence with a gable roof, and also contains an addition on the rear elevation of the existing residence. The property also contains a barn towards the north-west side of the property. Heritage planning staff reached out the owner in 2008 to receive permission to access the property to complete a fulsome evaluation and take photographs of the exterior of the existing buildings. Permission to access the property were not granted at the time and therefore a fulsome assessment of the property could not be completed. A Cultural Heritage Assessment Overview was undertaken by MHBC Planning Ltd. in 2012 as part of the road widening of Fischer Hallman Road from Ottawa Street to Bleams Road, which was initiated by the Region of Waterloo. The Cultural Heritage Assessment assessed the subject property to determine if it has cultural heritage value according to the Ontario Regulation 9/06, and concluded that 1198 Fischer Hallman Road had both physical and associative values. However, further research and investigation was needed to fully determine its heritage significance. Section 3 of the Planning Act requires that decision of Council be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). Policy 2.6.1 of the PPS states that significant built heritage resources and significant cultural heritage landscapes shall be conserved. The PPS defines significant as resources that have been determined to have cultural heritage value or interest for the important contribution they make to our understanding of the history of a place, an event or a people, and notes that while some significant resources may already be identified and inventoried by official sources, the significance of others can only be determined after evaluation. The City's Official Plan contains policies that require development to have regard for and incorporate cultural heritage resources into development. These policies also establish the requirement for the submission of studies, such as Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) and Conservation Plans (CP), as part of complete planning applications. The City's Official Plan Section 12.C.1.4 acknowledges that not all cultural heritage resources have been identified; a property does not have to be listed or designated to be considered as having cultural heritage value or interest. A Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) is required. The purpose of the HIA is twofold. First, the HIA will identify the heritage guidelines, principles and standards that will be used to guide the development of the site. Second, the HIA will be used to evaluate any impacts of the proposed development on cultural heritage resources, including built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes, and recommend mitigative measures to avoid or appropriately reduce impacts. These measures should be reflected in the design of the proposed development submitted to the City for consideration. As per Info Sheet No. 5 of the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries' Heritage Toolkit publication Heritage Resources in the Land Use Planning Process, potential negative impacts to cultural heritage resources include, but are not limited to: • Destruction of any, or part of any, significant heritage attributes or features; A City for Everyone Working Together — Growing Thoughtfully — Building Community Page 64 of 511 • Alteration that is not sympathetic or is incompatible with the historic fabric, appearance and context; • Shadows created that alter the appearance of a heritage attribute; • Isolation of a heritage attribute from its surrounding environment, context, or a significant relationship; and • Direct or indirect obstruction of significant views or vistas within, from, or to cultural heritage resources. Similarly, measures to mitigate potential impacts as referenced in Info Sheet No. 5 of the Ministry's Heritage Toolkit include: • Alternative development approaches; • Isolating development and site alteration from significant built heritage resources; • Design that harmonizes mass, setback, setting, and materials; • Limiting height and density; and • Allowing only compatible infill. The City of Kitchener's standard HIA terms of reference is attached to this record of pre -submission consultation. This terms of reference is guided by recognized federal and provincial documents, including: The Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada, and the Ontario Heritage Toolkit Resources in the Land Use Planning Process. In keeping with the Ministry and City guidelines on the preparation of HIAs, the following key components will need to be addressed: • Historic research, site analysis and evaluation (e.g. integrity of the site, general condition of the building, etc.). • Identification of the significance of cultural heritage resources on the subject properties (design/physical value, historic/associative value, contextual value), including a listing of heritage attributes and if applicable the identification of significant views and vistas. Recommendations regarding which cultural heritage resources, heritage attributes and other features (such as maintenance of significant views) should be conserved in the context of development, and how such conservation should be approached. Recommendations are to be rationalized and based on established principles, standards and guidelines for heritage conservation. • Description of the planning applications, proposed interventions, and development. • Identification and measurement of impacts to cultural heritage resources located on the subject lands. Consideration should be given to potential impacts of any demolitions, alterations, new construction and site development. • Consideration of alternatives, mitigation and conservation methods (to include preservation and/or integration of built heritage resources, adaptive re -use and other strategies). A City for Everyone Working Together — Growing Thoughtfully — Building Community Page 65 of 511 • Identification of preferred and recommended conservation, mitigation or avoidance measures, together with appropriate implementation strategies (e.g. special policies, zoning regulations, site plan conditions, etc.). • Concluding value and summary statements. In addition, the following comments will need to be addressed:. • The general Standards and Guidelines recommend the conservation of heritage value. In particular, the standards say "do not remove, replace orsubstantially alter its intact or repairable character defining elements." • At minimum, the negative impact in the Toolkit that will need to be evaluated, and then avoided or mitigated is destruction. • The HIA will need to evaluate alternatives to full demolition. • If the building(s) be listed as non -designated properties of cultural heritage value or interest on the City's Municipal Heritage Register or designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. In instances where relocation, removal, demolition or alteration to identified cultural heritage resources and attributes are recommended in the HIA, the heritage consultant must provide clear rationale and justification, and identify how the recommendations and conclusions confirm to recognized heritage standards, principles and practices. HIAs that are not completed to the satisfaction of the City may be subject to revision and resubmission, critique by peer review or a similar process to determine if the report meets recognized cultural heritage standards, principles and practices. In terms of process, a Heritage Impact Assessment that responds to the City's terms of reference and comments provided in the Record will be required with the submission of a complete Zoning By-law Amendment/Site Plan application. Where an HIA has identified a cultural heritage resource worthy of retention and conservation, a Conservation Plan (CP) will be required as part of a complete Site Plan application. A CP is a document that details how a cultural heritage resource will be conserved. The City has a standard CP terms of reference to guide the preparation of this document. In keeping with Ministry and City guidelines on the preparation of CPs, at minimum the following key components will need to be addressed: • analysis of the cultural heritage resource, including documentation, identification of cultural heritage attributes, assessment of resource conditions and deficiencies; • short-, medium- and long-term conservation measures, interventions and implementation strategies including appropriate conservation principles and practices, methods and materials, and the qualifications of the contractors and trades involved in undertaking such work; • security and monitoring requirements, including measures to protect the resource/attributes during phases of construction or development; and, • subject to the phasing of the proposed development, cost estimates for maintenance and mitigation measures to address the conservation of identified heritage attributes A City for Everyone Working Together — Growing Thoughtfully — Building Community Page 66 of 511 The submission and approval of a Conservation Plan may be waived by City staff in instances where a Heritage Impact Assessment recommending full demolition of a cultural heritage resource has been formally considered by the City and has been deemed acceptable (approved by the Director of Planning). In summary, the City will require the submission of a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) and potentially a Conservation Plan (CP) as part of complete planning applications. Heritage Planning staff look forward to working with you in the conservation of Kitchener's cultural heritage resources. 2.

The Conservation Plan shall address how the cultural heritage resources and attributes as identified and described in an approved Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA), will be conserved. A Conservation Plan is a document which identifies the conservation principles appropriate for the type of cultural heritage resource/attributes being conserved; provides detailed documentation of the resource and its heritage attributes; includes an assessment of current conditions and deficiencies; and recommends conservation measures and interventions in the short, medium and long term to ensure preservation of the property's cultural heritage significance. Policy Context Section 2 of the Planning Act indicates that Council shall have regard to matters of Provincial interest such as the conservation of features of significant architectural, cultural, historical, archaeological or scientific interest. In addition, Section 3 of the Planning Act requires that decisions of Council shall be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement. Policy 2.6.1 of the Provincial Policy Statement requires that significant built heritage resources and significant cultural heritage landscapes shall be conserved. The Provincial Policy Statement defines a built heritage resource as including resources listed by local jurisdictions. Significant is defined as resources that are valued for the important contribution they make to our understanding of the history of a place, an event, or a people and notes that while some significant resources may already be identified and inventoried by official sources, the significance of others can only be determined after evaluation. Conserved is defined as meaning the identification, protection, management and use of built heritage resources, cultural heritage landscapes and archaeological resources in a manner that ensures their cultural heritage value or interest is retained under the Ontario Heritage Act. This may be achieved by the implementation of recommendations set out in a conservation plan, archaeological assessment, and/or heritage impact assessment. Mitigative measures and/or alternative development approaches can be included in these plans and assessments. Conservation Plan Requirements • Present owner contact information for property proposed for development and/or alteration. • Identification of all cultural heritage resource(s) and a clear statement of their cultural heritage value and interest, including a bullet point list of their heritage attributes. A City for Everyone Working Together — Growing Thoughtfully — Building Community Page 69 of 511 • Identification of the conservation principles and guidelines to be applied for the type of heritage resource/attributes being conserved and the specific conservation work to be undertaken in order to repair, maintain and protect the heritage resources and attributes. These conservation principles and guidelines may be found in publications such as: Parks Canada — Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada; Eight Guiding Principles in the Conservation of Building Heritage Properties, Ontario Ministry of Culture; and, the Ontario Ministry of Culture's Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (all available online). • An assessment of the current condition of the cultural heritage resources and their heritage attributes. The Conservation Plan must identify the physical condition and integrity of the cultural heritage resources and their heritage attributes, with a view toward making recommendations regarding appropriate repair and maintenance, in keeping with good conservation practice. • Identification of the short, medium and long term vision for the conservation of the heritage resources, and of the specific conservation measures to be undertaken in the short, medium, and long-term. Such measures shall describe the documentation, stabilization, repair, monitoring and maintenance strategies required to be undertaken for each phase, and shall reference the qualifications for anyone responsible for undertaking such work. This section may include, but is not be limited to, the following Short -Term Conservation Work Documentation (through detailed description and photographs) of heritage attributes proposed to be demolished, removed, salvaged or otherwise irreversibly damaged. Description and specifications for work required to be undertaken to conserve heritage attributes in need of immediate repair and stabilization to prevent further deterioration, damage and the potential loss of such attributes. monitoring strategy to protect the property from vandalism or fire (e.g. methodology for monitoring; frequency of monitoring; and process to address issues that arise through monitoring). Medium -Term Conservation Work • Description and specifications for work required to be undertaken to heritage attributes as part of the proposed development and/or rehabilitation (to include demolition, removal and salvage of heritage attributes; the stabilization, repair and cleaning of heritage attributes; and the reconstruction or replacement of heritage attributes). Such work may be divided into phases. A City for Everyone Working Together— Growing Thoughtfully— Building Community Page 70 of 511 Long -Term Conservation Work • Identification of a monitoring program addressing appropriate measures for the ongoing maintenance of the heritage resources and attributes, post developmentlrehabilitation. • Provide a recommended schedule for conservation work, inspections, monitoring, maintenances and phases (short, medium, and long-term). • The Conservation Plan must include a cost estimate of the conservation work to be undertaken in the short-term to heritage attributes in need of immediate repair and stabilization to prevent further damage and deterioration. Such cost estimate must be prepared by a qualified individual or consultant. In order to ensure implementation of the Conservation Plan, the City may require the owner to post a Letter of Credit equal to the value of the short-term conservation work as a condition of the approval of the subject application. • The qualifications and background of the person(s) completing the Conservation Plan shall be included in the report. The author(s) must demonstrate a level of professional understanding and competence in the field of heritage conservation.
