BACKGROUND: The Planning Division is in receipt of a draft Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) dated July 2023 and prepared by McNaughton Hermsen Britton Clarkson Planning Limited (MHBC), on behalf of Fusion Homes. The HIA relates to a submitted site plan application for the property municipally addressed as 628 New Dundee Road and the adjacent property identified as Block 111 on Plan 58M-528 (SP23/053/N/ES). It proposes eleven blocks of stacked townhomes as well as the retention of the existing dwelling on site, for a total of 210 dwelling units. The subject property is listed as a non -designated property of cultural heritage value or interest on the Kitchener Municipal Heritage Register. It is also adjacent to or in proximity of other cultural heritage resources, including the Walter Bean Trail Cultural Heritage Landscape and 508 New Dundee Road, designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. Per the Cultural Heritage Landscape Study prepared by the Landplan Collaborative Ltd. in 2014 and approved by Council in 2015, Reichert Drive forms the southern -most part of the Walter Bean Trail. There are currently three structures on site; a farmhouse constructed c.1848, an original barn constructed c. 1848, and an outbuilding. The farmhouse and barn both have multiple additions that were added at various dates. *** This information is available in accessible formats upon request. *** Please call 519-741-2345 or TTY 1-866-969-9994 for assistance.

It identifies the existing farmhouse as having design/physical value, being a representative and early example of the Gothic Revival Cottage architectural style. It also identifies it as having historical/associative value due to its association with mid -1911 century agricultural practices. The barn and outbuilding located on site were identified as having no significant cultural heritage value or interest. The applicant is proposing the retention and relocation of the existing farmhouse to a different location on site. The proposal would see the building moved approximately 50 metres to the south-west corner of the site, placed on a new foundation (Figure 3). A structural engineering report dated July 12, 2023 and completed by Tacoma Engineers has confirmed that the existing home is a good candidate for relocation. The additions to the farmhouse added c. 1966 are proposed to be removed (Figure 4). The relocation would facilitate the construction of eleven blocks of townhome units, a central amenity space, 245 surface parking spaces, and an internal laneway with access points onto Blaire Creek Drive and New Dundee Road. nyrrtilr+y- - Figure 3: Proposed site plan outlining existing and new location of farmhouse Page 5 of 407 Identifier A DescKphon &Lk Revival dwell !Ag CmstrurtionDate kL IM6 and 1858 Sumrfkr Kitchen of (461 MIN Bet 1845 and 1858 Reat Addition 19% Garage 1%6 1.Addltlon F Gal, - nd balcony 1W 24"eentury Figure 4: Arial view of dwelling with sections to be demolished identified in red Page 6 of 407 The HIA provided the following mitigation recommendations: • That the barn, outbuilding, and dwelling be documented; • The barn is proposed to be dismantled and materials adaptively re -used by the current tenants in a new location. Should the barn not be re -used by the prospective third part, that the barn be made available to other interested parties so that it can be re -used as opposed to being deposited as landfill; • That select materials (i.e. beams) of the barn be retained as commemoration/interpretive features on-site within the amenity area (i.e. benches, landscaping, etc); • That a Conservation Plan for the dwelling be completed as a condition of Site Plan Approval in order to outline the proposed alterations to the building and provide recommendations to ensure the work is consistent with best practices for the conservation of cultural heritage resources; and • That an Interpretation Plan be completed which will provide the draft text/images and layout of an interpretive panel to be installed within the amenity area. The applicant will be attending the September 5, 2023 meeting of the Heritage Kitchener Committee to answer any questions or concerns. Heritage Planning Staff are currently in the process of reviewing the HIA and will be providing detailed comments to the applicant to address any areas that require further assessment or discussion. At this time, Heritage Planning Staff are also seeking the Committee's input and comments, which will be taken into consideration as part of the complete staff review and processing related to the associated Planning Act Application. A copy of the HIA has been included as Attachment A in this report. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT: This report supports the delivery of core services.

These lands are acknowledged as part of the following treaties: • Haldimand Treaty, 1784. July, 2023 MHBC 15 Page 13 of 407 Heritage Impact Assessment 628 New Dundee Road, Kitchener Executive Summary MHBC was retained to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for the proposed development located at 628 New Dundee Road, hereinafter noted as the "subject property'. The HIA is required given that the subject property is listed (non -designated) on the City of Kitchener Heritage Register under Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The subject property currently includes a dwelling, barn, and an outbuilding. The proposed development includes the re- location and conservation of the dwelling for continued residential use. The purpose of this Heritage Impact Assessment is to evaluate whether or not proposed development will result in adverse impacts on cultural heritage resources. This report has been prepared as input into the planning application and developmentjroposal. 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 fra and Provincial policy. Summary of Cultural Heritage Value or I est This report has determined that the subject property meets of 9 criteria under Ontario Regulation 9/06 for determining Cultural Heritage Value or Interest. The property is of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest for its design/physical and historical/associative val4es. There is no evidence to suggest that the property has significant contextual val The features of the site which hidenCdas ritage attributes includes the existing dwelling and barn. The dwelling is con sideredresentative example of a Gothic Revival cottage. The barn is considered a representative.exampie of a typical 19th century bank barn. While there are few examples of barns remaining within til e City of Kitchener due to increased urbanization, there are other barns whichar extant w' in rural areas of the Region of Waterloo. The subject property was rmer y part of a farm complex, which has been altered over time and now functions as a large residential lot with a barn within an area which has transitioned from agricultural to urban residential. mpact Analysis The proposed development includes the retention of the existing dwelling so that it can be re- located on-site for continued residential use. The re -location of the dwelling is considered an adverse impact given that it includes the removal of the existing foundation and the removal of the building from its original location in-situ. However, the building will retain its original relationship to New Dundee Road and will be conserved over the long-term. Recommendations are provided below to ensure that the re -location and alterations to the building avoid or minimize any adverse impacts. July, 2023 MHBC 16 Page 14 of 407 Heritage Impact Assessment 628 New Dundee Road, Kitchener The removal of the barn is considered an adverse impact given it includes the removal of heritage fabric. However, the removal of the barn will be mitigated given that the barn is intended to be dis- mantled and adaptively re-used/re-constructed on another site. The removal of all other features of the site is considered a neutral impact given that a) the site is not considered a significant Cultural Heritage Landscape, and b) no other features of the site are identified as heritage attributes. Summary of Mitigation Recommendations The following is recommended in order to mitigate the identified impacts of the proposed development concept: • That the barn, outbuilding and dwelling be documented a�provided in Appendix C and H of this report; 1 • The barn is proposed to be dismantled and materials adaptively re -used by the current tenants in a new location. Should the barn not be re -used by the prospective third party, that the barn be made available to other interested p ties so that it could be re -used as opposed to being deposited as landfill; • That select materials (i.e. beams) of the barn be ned as commemoration/interpretive features on-site within the amenity area (i.e:. bench ndscaping, etc.); • That a Conservation Plan for the dwellin b omp*ted as a condition of Site Plan Approval in order to outline the pos terations to the building, and provide recommendations to ensure the rk is c istent with best practices for the conservation of cultural heritage resources; and • That an Interpret tion Plan be completed which will provide the draft text/images and layout of an irretive panel toe installed within the amenity area; and • That this report be accepted into the City's database to supplement the historic record.

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 ningAct is to "encourage the co-operation and co-ordination among the various interests" ding cultural heritage, Subsection 2(d) of the Act provides that: IV The Minister, the council of municipality, a local rd, a ningNandthe Municipal Board, in carrying out their responsibilities this Act, shall have regard to, among other matters, matters ofprovincial inte tis such (d) the conservation of features ofsignificontarchitectural, cultural, historical, archaeological or scientific in ter t; The Planning Act therefore provides for the ovbroad consideration of cultural heritage resources through the Iajj0 used process. In support of the provlWl i provided for in Section 3,'q development matters in the entified in Subsection 2 (d) of the Planning Act, and as has refined policy guidance for land use planning and 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. Significant: e) in regard to cultural heritage and archaeology, resources that have been determined to have cultural heritage value or interest.

These being the Paleo-Indian, Archaic, and Woodland periods. The Paleo-Indian period in Waterloo Region was marked by big game hunters following glacial spill -ways as early as 13,000 B.C. By 8,600 B.P., glacial ice had receded to the extent that ac ce all of Southwestern Ontario was possible. Paleo-Indian groups were scattered at this tim s their nomadic nature. The Archaic Period saw an increase in the number and variety mettle is which were located near waterways and hunting land. The Woodland Period s e introducti f horticulture and an increasingly sedentary way of life (Region of Water[ 1989 e following provides a chronology of First Nations in Southwestern Ontario (See Figure 6 .

Early maps identify that the area was part of the hunting grounds of the Mississauga or Ojibway. As noted in the Acknowledgements section of this report, the subject property is situated on part of the Haldimand Tract, which was promised to the peoples of the Six Nations on the Grand River and is located within the recognized territory of the Anishinaabe peoples (Attiwonderonk (Neutral), Haudenosaunee, and Anishinaabe). According to the teachings of the Anishinabek Nation the Anishinaabe peoples included the Ojibway (Chippewa), Odawa, Potawatomi Nations and formed the Confederacy of the Three Fires. The Ojibway were the providers, the Odawa were the warriors and the Potawatomi were the fire - keepers. The Confederacy controlled the hub of the Great Lakes and maintained relationships with the Iroquois Confederacy as well as the British and French. July, 2023 MHBC 118 Page 26 of 407 Heritage Impact Assessment 628 New Dundee Road, Kitchener 3.2 County of Waterloo, Waterloo Township The subject lands are located in the former Waterloo Township where Euro -Canadian settlement commenced in the late eighteenth century. In 1784, General Haldimand, then Governor of Quebec, acquired six miles of land on each side of the Grand River from the Six Nations (Bloomfield; 19: 2006). This tract of land was granted to the Six Nations 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. Brant and the Six Nations drew up a deed for sale of Block 2 in November 1796. The deed was recorded at Newark (Niagara on the Lake) and in February 1798 the title was registered and a Crown Grant was drawn for this block (McLaughlin, 21: 2007). The buyer was Colonel Richard Beasley, a Loyalist from New York, who had arrived in Canada in 1777. Beasley bought the 93160 acres of land along with his business partners, James Wils and Jean -Baptiste Rousseaux (Bloomfield, 20: 2006). The land was then surveyed by and Cockrell who divided the township into upper and lower blocks (Hayes 3, 1997). At this e, G n Mennonite farmers from Pennsylvania were scouting out farmland in the area. I of them went back to Pennsylvania and returned with their families the followin o buy settle the land (Hayes, 5: 1997). IL In order to raise the £10,000 needed tS�2urchase their pro ective land holdings, the Pennsylvanian farmers, led by Sam Bricker Ind Daniel Erb, established an association to acquire the approximately 60,000 acres, later know_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). AeOIN 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 to join their relatives. By 1815 both 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 (Bloomfield, 55: 2006). In 1816 the GCT lands and Beasley's lower block were incorporated into Waterloo Township, and in 1853 became part of Waterloo County.

A portion of Block 2 was sold to Richard Beasley in 1804. In 1837, all 100 acres of Lot 1 was sold by Richard Beasley to Robert Jeffrey. In 1848, all 100 acres were sold to John Moore. John Moore (b. 1817, d. 1891) was a farmer of Irish descent, and married Sarah Jane McBride. Together, they had 13 children. The earliest available tax assessment roll records for Waterloo Township are dated 1853. James Moore is noted in the 1853 tax records as a farmer residing on Beasley's New Survey, Lot 1 (100 acres). The total value of the property is noted as $399.00 which includes all taxable property (i.e. property plus livestock, horses, and carriage). There is a slight increase in property values in 1857, where the total value of property is $400.00.

Given the significant increase in property values between 1857 and 1858, it is likely that the existing dwelling and barn were constructed c. 1858. The Tremaine map of Waterloo Township (1861) identifies John Moore as the owner of the east half of Lot 1 (See Figure 8). The lands are intersected by a road, which is now known as New Dundee Road.

These criteria have been adopted as standard practice in determining significant cultural heritage value or interest. 5.1 Evaluation Criteria Ontario Regulation 9/06 prescribes that that: A property may be designated under section 29 of the Act if its t r more or the following criteria for determining whether it is of cultural heritage va r interest: The property has design value or physical 1. is a rare, unique, representative or ec construction method, 2. displays a high degree of craftsman type, expression, material or 3. demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement. The property has historical v or associative value because it, 4. has direct associations with a theme, event, belief, person, activity, organization or institution that is significant to a community, 5. yields, or has the potential to yield, information that contributes to an understanding of community or culture, or 6. demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect, artist, builder, designer or theorist who is significant to a community. The property has contextual value because it, 7. is important in defining, maintaining orsupporting the character of on area, 8. is physically, functionally, visually or historically linked to its surroundings, or 9. is a landmark. The Ministry of Citizenship and Multiculturalism (formerly the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries) has not published a guiding document on the interpretation and appropriate application of the above -noted criteria. The Ontario Heritage Toolkit (which is currently under revision) does not provide an in-depth analysis of the above -noted criteria and how/where they should be applied. However, the Ministry published the Heritage Identification & Evaluation Process document in 2014, which provides an in-depth analysis of the criteria under July, 2023 MHBC 144 Page 52 of 407 Heritage Impact Assessment 628 New Dundee Road, Kitchener Ontario Regulation 9/06 and how they are intended to be interpreted and applied. While this document is for the evaluation of properties in Ontario with the potential to be considered Provincial heritage properties, it uses the same criteria as Ontario Regulation 9/06 and offers information as to their intended application. Section 4.0 of the document identifies that "The relevant information documented through the research should be evaluated against each of the criteria as described in both O.Reg 9/06 and O. Reg 10/06 to determine the property's CHVI and level of significance." The document then goes on to provide an in-depth analysis of the criteria under O -Reg 9/06 beginning in Section 4.6 of the document. The document then proceeds to provide an analysis of each criteria. Given that the document considers the criteria under Ontario Regulation 9/06 as well as 70/06, aspects of the document can reasonably be applied to the evaluation of potential cultural heritage resources. 5.2 Evaluation of Cultural Heritage Resources The following provides an evaluation of the prope 5.2.1 Design/Physical Value Dwelling: The property located at 628 New representative and early examA The building was constructed c. 1 tion 9/06. design/physical value as it includes a tructed in the Gothic Revival Cottage style. e. The barn may have been constructed earlier, between 1848 whenJohnMoo purchased the property, and 1858 when tax assessment rolls show a significant increase in p per y value. The building is considered early given that it was constructed prior to Confecleratfon in 1867. The dwelling is not considereZ�are or unique. According to Blumenson (1990), this style is prominent throughout the Province of Ontario, and is often referred to as an "Ontario Cottage". For example, the dwelling at 1249 New Dundee Road includes features which are similar to that of 628 New Dundee Road, including overall size, dimensions, 3 -bay facade of buff -yellow brick construction, and an arched gable window at the front elevation (See Figure 53). This property is located approximately 2 kilometers west of the subject property. Other examples of buff/yellow brick buildings constructed in the Gothic Revival cottage style are located at 1736 Trussler Road (See Figure 54) and 5 Tilt Drive (See Figure 55). July, 2023 MHBC 145 Page 53 of 407 Heritage Impact Assessment 628 New Dundee Road, Kitchener Figures 53 & 54: (left) View of Gothic Revival cottage at 1249 New Dundee Road, Ayr., (right) View of 1736 Trussler Road (Source: Google Streetview, 2021) Figure 55: (left) View of Gothic Revival cottage at 5 Tilt Drive, Kitchener (Source: Google Streetview, 2021) Other examples of buildings constructed in the Gothic Revival Cottage style are available within the City of Kitchener. This includes the buildings located at 24 Cameron Avenue and 36 Cameron Avenue, both of which are constructed with yellow/buff brick (See Figures below). July, 2023 MHBC 146 Page 54 of 407 Heritage Impact Assessment 628 New Dundee Road, Kitchener Figures 56 & 57: (left) View of 24 Cameron Avenue, (right) View of 36 CArneron Avenue (Source: Google Streetview, accessed 2022) The following provides a list of additional examples of is Revival cottage dwellings located within the City of Kitchener: • 145 Church Street; • 139 Church Street; • 133 Church Street; • 130 Church Street; 33 Eby Street; 116 Cedar Street; 68 Breithaupt Str 36 Waterloo et 392 Duke Stree 430 Duke Street W 452 Duke Street W-11, 92-94 Victoria Street South; 50-52 Weber Street; 595 Lancaster Street West; and 537 Lancaster Street West. The dwelling located on the subject property does not demonstrate a high degree of craftsmanship, artistic merit, or technical/scientific achievement. The dwelling constructed using materials and methods which are characteristic of its time and does not go beyond a level of craftsmanship that was commonplace at the time. July, 2023 MHBC 147 Page 55 of 407 Heritage Impact Assessment 628 New Dundee Road, Kitchener Barn & Outbuilding: The barn demonstrates design/physical value as an early (pre -1867) and representative example of a bank barn constructed in the mid. 19` century. The barn is not considered unique for the area. Examples of similar barns in either Kitchener or elsewhere in Waterloo Region are located at: • 1855 Snyder's Road, Petersburg; • Bricker Barn, Doon Heritage Village; and • 1739 Snyder's Road East, Petersburg. However, there are few barns left within the City of Kitchener due to continued urbanization in the 20th and 21st centuries. Because of this, the barn is considered rare for the City of Kitchener. A0 The existing outbuilding is part of the former agricultural use of the lands. However, the outbuilding is not representative of any architectural style a, does not demonstrate significant design/physical value. Neither the barn nor the outbuilding demonstrate or technical/scientific achievement. Both structure methods which are characteristic of the time&&d beyond a level of craftsmanship that was corridor 5.2.2 Historical/Associative Value The historic record does not provide any i --e of craftsmanship, artistic merit, ructed using materials and re constructed, and do not go n which would suggest that either the property, or any of the for owners are related to an event, belief, person, activity, organization or institution which is significant to the cVV munity. The Ministry provides guidance on the interpretation of this criterion. Here, states that an event, belief, person, activity, organization or institution may be considered significant if it/they "... has made a strong, noticeable or influential contribution to the evolution or pattern of development and development in the community." This could be accomplished in a number of ways, including involvement with local politics, organizations, significant land transactions and/or surveying, the creation of subdivisions, etc. There is sufficient evidence to show that the former owners of the property were individuals operated a farm on part of the subject property. Available records identify that the original farm owners were of Irish descent and owned the property until approximately 1917. The property was subsequently sold to another farming family, under the name Alfred Hannusch, who was of German descent. There is no evidence to suggest that members of these families made a significant contribution to the evolution or pattern of development in the community. Guidance from the Ministry regarding the identification of any events, themes, beliefs, activities, or organizations states that the relationship to a theme must be a) direct, and b) is significant to the community because it has made a strong, noticeable, or influential contribution to the evolution July, 2023 MHBC 148 Page 56 of 407 Heritage Impact Assessment 628 New Dundee Road, Kitchener or pattern of settlement and development in the community. The former use of the property has not made a specifically strong, noticeable, or influential contribution to the development of the community. However, the overall pattern of agricultural settlement has made an impact on the development of the City of Kitchener over time. The subject property now residential, but was historically used as a farm, and is associated with former mid. 19th century agricultural practices. Section 6 of the City of Kitchener Cultural Heritage Landscapes Study document identifies historical themes which are important to the Region of Waterloo and Kitchener. The document identifies the theme of "agriculture", and states that it is considered a "general" theme of the overall Region of Waterloo. Given that the Study recognizes that a) the theme of agriculture is important to the community and b) the theme of agriculture as an indicator of historical value throughout the CHL study, the subj t property meets this criteria under Ontario Regulation 9/06. The property's heritage attributes are not likely to yield further information which would contribute to the community or culture.'The property has evolved over time and now functions as a residential lot with a dwelling and barn. Many of the featules that are representative of an intact 19th century farmstead have been removed. Therefore, the site does not provide the opportunity to yield further information which would contribute to the understanding of the community. The City's Cultural Heritage Landscapes Study dokment (2014) provided a comprehensive review of potential agltural farmsteads which have the ability to yield further information. The subject property was not entified as one of these landscapes. The designer or builder of the dwelling/barn is not knowncould be added to the historic record should the NNW information become available in the future. 5.2.3 Contextual Valu The subject property doe�t demonstrate significant contextual value. The subject property has chantjed over time, and no longer functions as a working agricultural farmstead. The property was severed from the surrounding farmland by 1966 and since this time, has functioned as a large residential lot within a context that is becoming increasingly urbanized. The subject is located within an area that is defined in the City's Official Plan as including a mix of agricultural, low density residential, and open space. The lands north of New Dundee Road are primarily low density residential, while the lands south of New Dundee Road are primarily agricultural. The subject property is currently zoned C-2 492R, 387U (Neighbourhood Shopping Centre). The site specific exemption includes residential uses. The property is no longer used, or intended to be used for continued agricultural purposes. Given that the property has functioned as a large residential lot since it was discontinued as a farm in 1966 when it was severed from its 1 Note that Ministry guidance advises that this criteria is often associated with archaeological potential. July, 2023 MHBC 149 Page 57 of 407 Heritage Impact Assessment 628 New Dundee Road, Kitchener fields, woodlots and pastures, it is more in -keeping with the residential rather than the agricultural character of the area. As a result, the subject lands are not important in defining, supporting, or maintaining the agricultural character of the area. The context of the area has changed over time, and is now dominated by contemporary low density residential subdivisions. Additional development is planned along the southern limit of the City, which will further urbanize the context. The subject property does not have an important historical, physical, functional, or visual link to its surroundings. The property was severed from the surrounding fields and pasture lands by 1966 and the lands have been developed with contemporary residential subdivisions. Therefore, these contemporary residential subdivisions do not have an important historical link to the subject property. Further, no features of the former farm complex remain adjacent lands. The property does not have an important physical link to its surroundings. T inistry (2014) provides guidance on this criterion, whereby physical means someth. is tangible, i.e. a "...material connection between the property and its surroundings.; infrastructure, path, or road, for example. No physical property to its context or adjacent lands. The subje its surroundings.

The Ministry (2014) identhat this'criterion can be interpreted as "... when there is a visual connection between it an at least one feature in the context. It is not visually linked merely because adjacent properties be seen from it."

The property and its exisres arenot considered a landmark in the local community. The subject propertyd along New Dundee Road. Section 7 of the City of Kitchener Cultural Heritage Landscapes document identifies important historic transportation corridors. This includes "pioneer rural roads" as well as "urban streets". New Dundee Road is not identified as a significant rural road in the CHL Study document. It is also not listed amongst the identified transportation routes of cultural heritage value or interest on the Cultural Heritage Landscapes Map (i.e. L -RD 1 through 17). New Dundee Road is also not identified by the City of Kitchener as a "heritage corridor" or part of a Cultural Heritage Landscape in the City of Kitchener Official Plan (See Map 9 — Cultural Heritage Resources). Therefore, New Dundee Road is not considered a heritage resource and the relationship between the road and the subject property is not significant. This evaluation has also considered whether or not views, setbacks, and natural features (including mature trees) are of significant CHVI or not. Views of the building are available along July, 2023 MHBC 150 Page 58 of 407 Heritage Impact Assessment 628 New Dundee Road, Kitchener New Dundee Road, and are partially obstructed by the presence of mature trees and vegetation. While these views are available, they are not significant as they do not contribute to the cultural heritage value of the property. As per a review of available aerial photographs, the mature trees and vegetation on the property have changed over time. The original layout of the farm and orchards is not provided in historic maps. However, it is likely that the property included an orchard closer to the property line. These trees have been removed. The linear plantings of spruce/confers along the driveway are not original to the farm complex, and are likely dated closer to the early 201h century when these types of spruces were added for ornamentation and wind breakers. 5.2.4 Cultural Heritage Landscape Evaluation The following provides an analysis of whether or not the su considered a potentially significant Cultural Heritage Landscape per the definition oder PPS (2020). Whether or not a property is considered a significant CHL is determined under the Ontario Heritage Act (i.e. Ontario Regulation 9/06). &&h, IL The subject property is not considered a signif%ant Cultural Heritage Landscape. This report has demonstrated that the property can be dInclin cribed as part of a former farm, which has been severed from its original contex e Burrg,c, nduct has not been urbanized, but formerly included the agricultural fields a astures to st5port farm operations. Since this time, the property has functioned ae lot within an urban context. The surrounding lands which formerly included agricultural fie pa s, and other agricultural uses have been developed and urbanized. The context of the a is now primarily low density residential and has been developed with residential- .subdi ns. The subject property includes the existing barn, dwelling, and outbuilding. These buildi are in their original locations and retain their original relationships to each other. Other farm structures and elements which would have been necessary for supporting a 19th century farm have been removed over time. Given the alterations to the property over time, it is no longer a representative and/or intact example of a mid. to late 19th century farmstead. The features which remain on the subject lands (including their relationships to each other) does not offer an opportunity to provide further information to contribute to the understanding of the community. Guidance for identifying significant Cultural Heritage Landscapes is provided in the City's Cultural Heritage Landscapes Study document (2014). The document identifies that the purpose of the study is to "...provide an inventory of the cultural heritage resources in the City of Kitchener in the form of cultural heritage landscapes (CHLs). The document identifies a Cultural Heritage Landscape as, "A geographical area that may have been modified by human activity and is July, 2023 MHBC 151 Page 59 of 407 Heritage Impact Assessment 628 New Dundee Road, Kitchener identified as having cultural heritage value or interest by a community, including an Aboriginal community. The area may involve features such as structures, spaces, archaeological sites or natural elements that are valued together for their interrelationship, meaning or association." The document identifies various types of CHLS, including (but not limited to) agricultural landscapes. These landscapes demonstrate the authentic farming practices and includes both built and natural features which contribute to these landscapes. These agricultural landscapes were considered and evaluated as per Ontario Regulation 9/06 as well as other criteria, such as the criteria provided from the Region of Waterloo for determining Regional significance, for example. Potential CHLS were also identified where they were found to be associated with significant themes, such as pioneer settlement and agricultural practices. Through this study, four individual agricultural Cultural Heritage Landscapes were identifiecVhe subject property was not identified as one of these significant Cultural Heritage Landscas.

A structural analysis has been completed which determines that the building can feasibly be re -located (see Appendix F). The building is proposed for continued residential use on a portion of land which is proposed to be dedicated to the sole use of the owner and resident(s) of the dwelling through the Condo's declaration (see black outline on Figure 58). The contemporary additions to the building which are not of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest are proposed for removal. This includes the removal of sections "C", "D", and "E". Other potential alterations may include a) updating all existing contemporary windows and doors with new windows and doors and, b) repairs to masonry and localized condition issues prior and subsequent to re -location, c) repairs/replacements to roof, eaves, and downspouts, where necessary. The development concept includes 11 s res through J) with stacked townhouses, having a total of 210 units. The proposal inc s a ce I amenity area and surface parking along the internal Ianeway.

July, 2023 MHBC 157 Page 65 of 407 Heritage Impact Assessment 628 New Dundee Road, Kitchener 7.2.1 Re -location On-site Retaining the dwelling is considered a beneficial impact given that it will allow for its conservation of the long-term. The alterations to the dwelling which are required in order to facilitate its conservation result in a range of impacts. The re -location of the dwelling to its proposed new location on-site is considered an adverse impact given that a) the existing dwelling will be moved from its original location, and b) the fabric of the original foundation would be removed. The building will maintain its relationship to New Dundee Road within the development concept. The removal of the contemporary additions to the building is considered a neutral impact given that they are not of CHVI. However, the removal of these cormporary additions will require that any exposed openings in the building be enclosed. Provided that the alterations to the north and west elevations of the building AW sympathetically altered to facilitate long-term conservation, no adverse impacts ar ticipated. Here, a range of options could be considered including (but not limit o), o�inal doo nd window openings re -instated, or, existing window/door ope no new door or window openings are created_ It is likely that other alterations may be requirin residential use of the building. This m nclud doors. Given that all existing windows and oors �Rd be utilized provided that C itate the continued tall of new windows and contemporary, the installation of new windows and doors is considered a nact. All repairs are considered a beneficial impact, provided at they are undertaken appropriately, using like -materials and are completed by e demonstrated experience in the repair/restoration of historic building math No adverse impacts are a?%pa4lFas a result of new shadows created from the proposed new dwellings. The scale/he7iWof the proposed new buildings will result in minimal shadows which will be cast to the north, away from the building in its proposed new location. The existing dwelling and barn will be separated from each other. This will result in minimal adverse impacts given that the relationship (i.e. distance/proximity) between the two buildings does not offer an opportunity to provide further information to contribute to the understanding of the community. Given that the dwelling is proposed to be re -located closer to New Dundee Road, no impacts related to direct or indirect obstruction are anticipated. The land use will continue to support residential use, and as a result no adverse impacts are anticipated. Potential adverse impacts as a result of construction activities may result in adverse impacts and can be addressed through a Conservation Plan. July, 2023 MHBC 158 Page 66 of 407 Heritage Impact Assessment 628 New Dundee Road, Kitchener 7.2.2 Removal of Barn The removal of the barn is considered an adverse impact given that it includes the permanent removal of heritage fabric. However, the impact of removal is partially mitigated given that the proposal includes salvaging fabric from the barn and re -locating them so that the existing tenants can construct a new structure at new location. July, 2023 MHBC 159 Page 67 of 407 Heritage Impact Assessment 628 New Dundee Road, Kitchener 8,OConsideration of Development Alternatives, Mitigation Measures and Conservation Recommendations 8.1 Alternative Development Approaches The following have been identified as a range of develop considered as part of the planning process. They have iA impact on cultural heritage resources. 8.1.1 Do nothing This option would likely result in the contin Road for residential use. This option would would result in less adverse im of the site. 8.1.2 Develop the site development concep This option would result s that may be from least to greatest OWIling and barn at 628 New Dundee taining all existing features and therefore option would prevent the re -development dings in-situ and integrating them into the the buildings in their existing location in-situ while developing the remainder offsite. This option will result in significant challenges developing the remainder of the lot given that a) the dwelling and barn are located in the centre of the site, and b) there would be difficulties in designing new contemporary buildings which integrate the barn and/or the dwelling in a way which is both feasible and compatible. Should this option be selected as the preferred option going forward, mitigation recommendations would be required regarding temporary protection during construction activities as well as conservation recommendations and a maintenance plan over the long-term. 8.1.3 Develop the site while retaining buildings at an alternate location within the subject property July, 2023 MHBC 160 Page 68 of 407 Heritage Impact Assessment 628 New Dundee Road, Kitchener This option would result in re -locating the dwelling and/or barn to an alternative location within the subject property. This option is a viable alternative given that this HIA has demonstrated that the property has limited contextual value and is not considered a significant Cultural Heritage Landscape. For example, the existing front yard setback is not considered a significant heritage attribute and the buildings could be re -located closer to the street edge. The option to retain the existing barn and/or dwelling at an alternative location on-site would not result in any less adverse impacts than the current proposal. Retaining the barn in addition to the dwelling would result in less adverse impacts. However, the barn is not proposed to be retained as part of the proposal. Mitigation recommendations are proposed as it relates to the removal of the barn. 8.1.4 Develop the site while retaining buildings at an alternate to on off-site This option would result in re -locating the dwelling and/or b rn t an alternative location off-site. This option would require securing an appropriate receiving site within the community and an appropriate new use. While re -location on-site wou* result in*ess adverse impacts, re -location off-site is a viable alternative provided that they can be re -located safely. Given the size and condition of the barn, it would have to be di% tied and re -located. Both buildings would need either a continued residential/agricultural us r d tf SUit adaptive re -use. Should this option be selected, a Relocation and buildings could be safely re -I 8.2 Mitigation and The following is reco7q development concept: ild be required to determine how the over the long-term. er to mitigate the identified impacts of the proposed • That the barn, outbuilding and dwelling be documented as provided in Appendix C and H of this report; • The barn is proposed to be dismantled and materials adaptively re -used by the current tenants in a new location. Should the barn not be re -used by the prospective third party, that the barn be made available to other interested parties so that it could be re -used as opposed to being deposited as landfill; • That select materials (i.e. beams) of the barn be retained as commemoration/interpretive features on-site within the amenity area (i.e. benches, landscaping, etc.); • That a Conservation Plan for the dwelling be completed as a condition of Site Plan Approval in order to outline the proposed alterations to the building, and provide July, 2023 MHBC 161 Page 69 of 407 Heritage Impact Assessment 628 New Dundee Road, Kitchener recommendations to ensure the work is consistent with best practices for the conservation of cultural heritage resources; and • That an Interpretation Plan be completed which will provide the draft text/images and layout of an interpretive panel to be installed within the amenity area; and • That this report be accepted into the City's database to supplement the historic record. It is also recommended that landscaping be included around the dwelling in its proposed new location in order to provide an appropriate setting. July, 2023 MHBC 162 Page 70 of 407 Heritage Impact Assessment 628 New Dundee Road, Kitchener 9. o Recommendations and Conclusions This report has determined that the subject property meets 2 criteria under Ontario Regulation 9/06 for determining Cultural Heritage Value or Interest. The only heritage attributes of the site include the dwelling and barn. The site is not considered a significant Cultural Heritage Landscape. The proposed development includes retaining the existing dwelling at an alternative location on- site. The dwelling will retain its orientation towards New Dundee Road. The contemporary additions to the dwelling which are not of cultural heritage value are proposed to be removed. The retention of the dwelling is considered a beneficial impact provided that it is completed safely and that any alterations to the building are appropriahe removal of the barn is considered an adverse impact which can be partially mi ted through salvage and commemoration. The following is recommended in order to mitigate the tified impacts of the proposed development concept: • That the barn, outbuilding ancwell H of this report; )ted as provided in Appendix C and • The barn is proposed to be dismantled and materials adaptively re -used by the current tenants in a new location. Should the barn not be re -used by the prospective third party, that the barn be made available to other interested parties so that it could be re -used as opposed to being deposited as landfill; • That select materials (i.e. beams) of the barn be retained as commemoration/interpretive features on-site within the amenity area (i.e. benches, landscaping, etc.); • That a Conservation Plan for the dwelling be completed as a condition of Site Plan Approval in order to outline the proposed alterations to the building, and provide recommendations to ensure the work is consistent with best practices for the conservation of cultural heritage resources; and • That an Interpretation Plan be completed which will provide the draft text/images and layout of an interpretive panel to be installed within the amenity area; and • That this report be accepted into the City's database to supplement the historic record.

Project No.: TW -927-23 Permit No.: n/a Tacoma Engineers has been retained to complete a structural review of the existing heritage residence at 628 new Dundee Road, Kitchener and provide: a structural engineering assessment regarding the feasibility of relocating the structure; and if feasible, to provide a foundation design to support the existing structure in its new location. Based on our review of the structure on June 30, 2023, we are of the opinion that the existinghouse is a good candidate for relocation. The existing structure is best described as a conventional wood framed house (wood load bearing walls supporting a wood floor and roof structure) with mass masonry exterior brick walls. This opinion is based on our visual review of the house without benefit of any destructive testing. The majority of the int ' r framing is covered with finishes and the brick masonry visible from the exterior. The existing house includes the original heritage structure and a more modern addition, which are planned to be demolished. The property also includes modern brick chimneys that have been added to the exterior of the home. The chimneys are structurally independent and will need to be demolished to permit relocation, which can easily be done without adversely affecting the original structure. Note the house relocation work must be completed by an experienced structural house moving contractor and include full design engineering for the temporary bracing, shoring and lift beams. This work is outside of Tacoma Engineers scope of work. The contractor is to contact Tacoma Engineers to coordinate the structural in ve requirements with the design of the new foundation system.
