HERITAGE PERMIT APPLICATION 2006-V-015
44 SCHNEIDER AVENUE
PROPOSED REPLACEMENT OF ROOF OF EXISTING
HOUSE
That pursuant to Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act, Heritage Permit Application
HPA 2006-V-015 (44 Schneider Avenue) be aooroved, to permit the replacement of the roof of
the existing dwelling.
BACKGROUND:
The Development and Technical Services Department is in receipt of Heritage Permit
Application HPA 2006-V-015. The applicant is seeking Council's permission to replace the roof
of the existing building at 44 Schneider Avenue.
REPORT:
The subject property is located on the north
side of Schneider Avenue between Victoria
Park and David Street, in the Victoria Park
Heritage Conservation District designated
under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act.
The applicant wishes to replace the roof of
the existing dwelling as part of major attic
renovations. The two-storey red-brick brick
house has a front-gable roof which requires
replacement to meet current Building Code
standards.
The application also proposes a dormer on the east side of the new roof that will largely be
hidden from view by the neighbouring house and mature coniferous tree. All elements of the
existing upper roof structure will be removed and replaced with a roof of similar design. The
pitch of the proposed new roof will remain the same but the ridge will be six inches higher. The
existing fascia, soffits, frieze boards and eaves troughs will be replaced with aluminum parts.
The grooves of the proposed new aluminum soffits will run parallel with the eaves trough in
order to replicate the appearance of traditional wood soffits. The proposed dormer will have a
gable roof with a pair of one-over-one sash windows made of vinyl and the walls are to be clad
with painted horizontal wood siding. The front and rear gables will have a pair of one-over-one
sash windows; the front to be fabricated from painted wood, to be painted, and the rear to be
vinyl. The front gable will be rebuilt with a similar wood window surround and finished with
painted wood shingles. The proposed new asphalt roofing will match that of the rest of the
house.
Front Fac;ade
Side Elevation
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed roof replacement meets the intent of the Victoria Park Heritage District Plan
policies and guidelines. It will be rebuilt in a similar design and the dormer will be hidden from
view. The proposed project will not have an adverse impact on the heritage character of the
existing house or the surrounding area and will ensure continued use of the residence.
Accordingly, staff recommends approval of HPA 2006-V-015.
