Location Map of 307 Queen Street South. This permit has been brought before the Heritage Kitchener Committee as the subject property is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act through Designating By- law 1988-78. In accordance with By-law 2009-089, delegating Council's approval for certain classes of alterations to Staff, delegated approval authority is permitted for Part IV designated properties after consultation with the Heritage Kitchener Committee. REPORT: The subject property is located on the south side of Queen Street South between Courtland Avenue East and St. George Street. Home to the Bread and Roses Cooperative Homes, the subject property contains one of the oldest industrial buildings in Kitchener and is a complex of three buildings having separate construction dates. Figure 2. Front (west) fagade of 1879 building of the complex. The original gable roofed building at the corner of Queen Street and Courtland Avenue East was constructed in 1879 by Emil Vogelsang, known as the father of the Berlin button industry (Fig. 2). This was his fourth and last button factory. The building was then taken over Williams, Greene and Rome, who were shirt manufacturers, and they built an addition c. 1893. During the first World War, the structure was used as a military barracks and was subsequently sold to the Rumpel Felt Company in 1919. The designation encompasses all elevations and rooflines of the 1879 and 1893 buildings. It also includes the Queen Street fagade of the c. 1919 building. The designation by-law identifies the property as being significant for its historical and architectural value, and protects the following features of the property: - Exterior fagade of each elevation, including the rooflines of the two older buildings on the site ( the so-called "1879" and 1893" buildings)' and - The fagade and roofline of the Queen Street elevation of the newest building (the "1919 building") Proposed Foundation Repair The proposed work involves the foundation walls on the Queen Street South fagade (west) and Courtland Avenue East fagade (south) on the original 1879 building. According to a Building Condition Assessment done in 2022, spalled and cracked mortar was observed on the stone foundation walls on these facades (Fig. 3-4). Furthermore, according to the cover letter submitted with the heritage permit application the mortar of the stone foundation wall along Courtland Avenue East was done in 2012. However, the mortar joints appear to have been repaired with cement, which is not an appropriate repointing agent. The cement patch does not bond well with sand and causes more damage when it falls. _6 Figure 3. Cracking and spalling of the cement mortar Figure 4. Cracking and spalling of the cement mortar on the side (south) fagade facing Courtland Avenue on the front (west) fagade facing Queen Street South. East. Lime based mortars are appropriate for their flexibility and breathability and minimize the risk for moisture -related damage and cracking. The applicant is proposing to carry out the repairs using "Daubois — XhN-60" mortar, which is a repointing mortar based on pure hydraulic lime, well graded sand, and air entraining agent and colorant. The new mortar will match the historic mortar in colour, texture, and tooling. There will be a mock up test prior to full application. The project will be overseen by Rimkus Consulting, with the proposed work being one by Robertson Restoration, who specialize in masonry and restoration of historical/heritage buildings. The proposed alterations meet the "Eight Guiding Principles in the Conservation of Built Heritage Properties", especially: • Respect for historical material — repair or conserve rather than replace building materials and finishes, except where absolutely necessary. Minimal intervention maintains the historic content of the resource. • Respect for original fabric — repair with like materials. Repair to return the resource to its prior condition, without altering its integrity. • Maintenance — with continuous care, future restoration will not be necessary. With regular upkeep, major conservation projects and their high costs can be avoided. The proposed alterations meet the "Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada", especially: • Conserve the heritage value of an historic place. Do not remove, replace, or substantially alter its intact or repairable character -defining elements. Do not move a part of an historic place if its current location if a character -defining elements. • Conserve heritage value by adopting an approach calling for minimal intervention. Evaluate the existing condition of character -defining elements to determine the appropriate intervention needed. Use the gentlest means possible for any intervention. Respect heritage value when undertaking an intervention. Maintain character -defining elements on an ongoing basis. Repair character -defining elements by reinforcing their materials using recognized conservation methods. Replace in kind any extensively deteriorated or missing parts of character -defining elements, where there are surviving prototypes. Heritage Planning Comments In reviewing the merits of this application, Heritage Planning Staff note the following: • The subject property municipally addressed as 307 Queen Street South is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by way of designating by-law 1988-78. • The proposal is for the repair of foundation walls of the 1879 building. • Portions of the foundation walls are in poor condition, with spalling and cracks identified during a Building Condition Assessment in 2022. • Previous work that has been done was done using cement mortar, which is not appropriate for historic buildings. • The application proposed the repair of the foundation wall using pure hydraulic lime mortar to ensure the continued protected of the foundation walls. • The proposed work is consistent with the Eight Guiding Principles in the Conservation of Built Heritage Properties and with Parks Canada's The Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada; and • The proposed work will not adversely impact the building nor it's reasons for designation.

If further assistance or explanation is required please contact heritage planning staff at heritage(a)kitchener.ca. 1. WHAT IS A HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION? The Province of Ontario, through the Ontario Heritage Act, has enacted legislation to assist its citizens with the protection and conservation of cultural heritage resources. Once properties are designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, the City is enabled to manage physical change to the cultural heritage resources as a means of protection. The principal mechanism of management is the Heritage Permit Application process, which allows the municipality to review site-specific applications and determine if proposed changes will beneficially or detrimentally affect the reasons for designation and heritage attributes. As a general rule, the preferred alterations to heritage properties are those that repair rather than replace original heritage attributes, and those that do not permanently damage cultural heritage resources and their heritage attributes. Where replacement of materials or new construction is necessary, these should be compatible with the original. Reversibility is also preferable as this allows for the future reinstatement of heritage attributes. According to the Ontario Heritage Act, no owner of designated property shall alter the property or permit the alteration of the property if the alteration is likely to affect the property's heritage attributes, unless the owner applies to the council of the municipality and receives written consent. This consent is obtained through the approval of a Heritage Permit Application. Heritage Permit Applications are applicable for all individually designated properties (under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act) and all properties located within the boundaries of Heritage Conservation Districts (designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act). 2. WHEN IS A HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION REQUIRED? Under the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, any new construction or "alteration" to a property designated under Part IV of the Act (individually designated property) or a property designated under Part V of the Act (within a Heritage Conservation District) requires a Heritage Permit Application. "Alteration" is defined as: "to change in any manner and includes to restore, renovate, repair or disturb." In addition, the approval of a Heritage Permit Application is required for any demolition of a property designated under Part IV or V of the Act. Please contact Heritage Planning staff directly to confirm if your specific project requires the approval of a Heritage Permit Application. Below are some examples of typical Part IV alterations that may require a Heritage Permit Application: • Addition and/or alteration to an existing building or accessory building • Replacement of windows or doors, or a change in window or door openings • Change in siding, soffit, fascia or roofing material • Removal and/or installation of porches, verandahs and canopies • Removal and/or installation of cladding and chimneys • Changes in trim, cladding, or the painting of masonry Working together • Growing thoughtfully • Building community 2024 • Repointing of brick Page 2 of 10 Note: Heritage Permit Application requirements differ between Part V designations depending on the policies and guidelines of the respective Heritage Conservation District Plans. Please refer to the City of Kitchener's website at www.kitchener.ca/heritage to download a copy of the relevant Heritage Conservation District Plan (Civic Centre Neighbourhood, St. Mary's, Upper Doon, and Victoria Park Area). 3. WHAT INFORMATION IS REQUIRED WITH A HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION? The information required varies with each application.

Development & Housing Approvals 200 King Street West, 6th Floor Kitchener, ON, N2G 4V6 Re: Heritage Permit Application for Foundation Repair at 307 Queen Street S Bread and Roses Co-operative Homes (Kitchener) Inc is applying for a Heritage Permit Application to repair foundation wall of the 1879 heritage building. The repair will involve re -pointing the above -grade portion of the foundation wall along Queen St. and Courtland Ave. The new sand mortar will match the original design. Here is a map showing where the foundation repair is required. The 1879 Building has been built on stone masonry foundation. Spalled and cracked mortar was observed on the stone foundation wall along Queen St. during our most recent Building Condition Assessment (conducted by Rimkus Consulting in 2022). The mortar of the stone foundation wall along Courtland Avenue (west elevation) was redone in 2012. The mortar joints appear to have been repaired with cement. Patching sand mortar with cement mortar is not a proper repair as the cement patch does not bond with sand and causes more damage when it fails. Here are some pictures that show the condition of the wall: The proposed repair will use Dau boisTM - XhN-60, a repointing mortar based on pure hydraulic lime, well graded sand, an air entraining agent and colorant. The hydraulic properties (hardens by reaction with water) of this lime allows formulation of a cement free mortar which is closer to the formulation of historic mortars. The new mortar will match the historic mortar in colour, texture, and tooling. There will be a mock-up test prior to full application. If the permit is granted, the proposed work will start on September 91h and end on October 4th. This project will be overseen by our project managers from Rim kus Consulting. They prepared a tender and sent it to contractors specializing in masonry and restoration of historical/heritage buildings. Bread and Roses Co-op's Board of Directors chose the winning bid from Robertson Restoration. The full tender document (Appendix A) and full submission of the winning bid (Appendix B) are attached to this application. Please reach out to me at info@breadandroses.coop or 519-742-4886 if you have any questions about this application or require more information.. Sincerely, Office Manager
