Proposal
Heritage Permit Application HPA-2025-V-019 is a proposal to demolish the existing one -
storey rear addition and construct a new two-storey rear addition in its place.
Demolition of Existing Rear Addition
The existing one -storey addition is in the rear of the property and is partially visible from
the street and was constructed in the mid- to late -1940s, as per the City's building permit
records. This addition is not original to the dwelling and will not result in the removal of the
existing original building fabric. The demolition policies in the VPAHCD Plan presumes the
demolition of entire structures and does not reference the demolition or removal of
portions of buildings. As such, the demolition policies are not applicable to this application.
Figure 3: Location of Rear Addition
Page 189 of 326
Construction of New Rear Addition
There is policy direction within the VPAHCD Plan pertaining to the construction of
additions on properties within the VPAHCD. While these policies recognize that additions
may become necessary to homes to provide more living space to accommodate growth, it
notes that it is important for new construction to be complementary to the architectural
style and character of the existing dwelling.
The application proposes the construction of a new, two-storey rear addition in place of the
old (Figures 4-7) and will be 235 sq. ft. (21.8 sq. m.) total building area. The existing total
building area (790 sq. ft. / 73.4 sq. m.) will remain the same, however the total gross floor
area will increase to 1,580 sq. ft. (146.8 sq. m.) as a result of the proposed addition
containing two floors. The intent of the proposal is to add an additional dwelling unit to the
existing residential building for a total of two dwelling units. Though the new addition will
be located in the rear, a portion of the new addition will be visible from the street.
However, it is not anticipated to affect the heritage value of the subject property or
surrounding area. The new two-storey addition contemplates the incorporation of wood
siding, aluminum gutters, soffits, and fascia to match the existing building, and vinyl double
hung windows to match the existing building.

Heritage Planning Comments
In reviewing the merits of this application, Heritage Planning staff note the following:
• The subject property municipally addressed as 49 Michael Street is designated
under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act and is located within the Victoria Park Area
Heritage Conservation District.
• The proposal is for the demolition of an existing one -storey rear addition and the
construction of a new two-storey rear addition.
• The proposed addition meets the following VPAHCD Plan policies for building
additions
Page 192 of 326
o Location — Additions shall be located to the rear or rear side of the existing
historic building so as to maintain the original principal fagade as a visual
entity.
■ The proposed addition is located to the rear of the existing historic
dwelling. A portion of the addition will be visible from the street,
however the original principal fagade is maintained.
o Design — A clear distinction between old and new building design is
encouraged. Contemporary design for additions is encouraged that is
complementary in terms of scale, mass, and texture to the existing or
neighbouring historic building.
■ The proposed addition is distinct from the original historic building and
contemporary in design. The proposed scale and massing respects
the existing dwelling as the roofline of the addition does not surpass
the ridgeline of the existing roof and the addition is inset slightly from
the outer walls of the existing building.
o Materials — For additions, materials typical of the Area shall be used, with an
emphasis on brick, stone, and wood.
■ Wood siding is the primary treatment for the exterior walls and is
appropriate for and in keeping with the historic character of the area.
o Roofs —The roof of the addition shall be similar or complementary to the
existing historic building or style in the Area.
■ The roofline of the proposed addition is lower than the existing roofline
and will not impact the original roof shape as seen from the street.
o Chimney — Original historic chimneys shall be conserved or rebuilt to match
the original where feasible. In additions, masonry chimneys should be given
priority over metal.
■ The existing brick chimney will remain.
o Entrances — New entrances to additions are encouraged to be located on
secondary rather than principal facades.
■ A rear entrance is proposed on the new addition.
o Windows — The appearance, placement, and proportion of height to width of
windows shall be similar or complementary to the existing historic building
style or as established in the vicinity.
■ The windows of the proposed addition are in keeping with the
windows of the existing building, being of similar design, size, and
proportion.
o Colours — Colours of paint and materials shall be appropriate to the historic
style of the building or as established in the Area.
■ The colours on the proposed addition are in keeping wit the historic
style of the building and with other buildings within the Victoria Park
Area Heritage Conservation District.
