BACKGROUND: The Development and Technical Services Department is in receipt of Heritage Permit Application HPA 2009-V-001. The applicant is seeking Council's permission to convert the existing covered front verandah into all season space, on the property municipally addressed 4 Park Street. 12 a 4 AR ~sT .. .. _."_` O~ ~~ ~~ ~14~~ s REPORT: The subject property is located on the north east corner of Park Street and Jubilee Drive in the Victoria Park Heritage Conservation District, and is subject to designation under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act. The applicant wishes to convert the existing covered front verandah into an all season space. The proposed design and building strategy will preserve the existing verandah, including exterior bricks, beams and white stone lintels. The application proposes to: ^ install divided light casement windows within the existing openings in order to fully weatherize the existing covered verandah; ^ inset bricks between the existing brick posts by 1 inch; and ^ construct a brick base on the west elevation of the porch. The Victoria Park Heritage Conservation District Plan contains building conservation guidelines for verandahs. The guidelines encourage owners to conserve and maintain verandahs. In reviewing the merits of the application, City staff note the following: ^ the existing verandah including exterior bricks, beams and white stone lintels will be preserved; ^ the new divided light casement windows are similar in proportion and detail to the windows on the house; ^ the open spaces between the existing brick posts will be filled with salvaged brick from the interior of the verandah that will be inset by 1 inch to provide to retain the impression of the presence of the brick posts; and ^ similar Heritage Permit Applications have been submitted and approved to permit the conversion of verandahs within the Victoria Park Heritage Conservation District. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: None. CONCLUSION: The proposed front verandah conversion will not detract from the heritage character of the existing house. Accordingly, staff recommends approval of HPA 2009-V-001.
