If approved, the Galt Core HCD project will commence in 2020, subject to budget approval. Also on October 9, 2018, Laura Waldie presented a report to recommend the repeal of the demolition control by-law. This by-law was initiated in 2010 to protected residential building stock in general, not specifically heritage properties, by requiring an approved replacement building permit prior to issuance of a demolition permit. Unfortunately, this has led to vacant buildings that often pose a safety hazard. The current by-law does not help protect heritage buildings, because if a property is not on the Heritage Register, a waiting period cannot be triggered under the Ontario Heritage Act to allow Council to ECM\Planning Services\Committees\MHAC\MHAC Agendas and Minutes\Minutes\2018 Minutes\October\10_18_2018 MHAC Minutes 004

6 Meeting Date: 12/20/2018 Report #: (MHAC) To: Municipal Heritage Advisory Committee Report Date: 12/03/2018 Report Author: Laura Waldie, MA, CAHP, Senior Planner-Heritage Department: Division: Community Development Planning Services Report Title: Request to Alter a Part V Designated Property 11 Joan Lane (Detached Garage) File No: R01.02 Ward No: 1 RECOMMENDATION THAT the Municipal Heritage Advisory Committee (MHAC) recommends that Cambridge City Council (Council) approve the alteration of the property at 11 Joan Lane within the Blair Village Heritage Conservation District by constructing a detached garage as depicted in the drawings prepared by Country Lane Builders dated November 21, 2018; AND THAT the MHAC has no objection to final approval of the variance application to increase the height of the detached coach house garage (File No: A64/18). SUMMARY The subject property is designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act as part of the Blair Village Heritage Conservation District (HCD). It was designated in The proposal is to construct a detached garage on the property which is higher than what is permitted in the Zoning By-law. 006

7 BACKGROUND The subject property is located just south of the Old Village of Blair in the Future Residential Lands of the Blair Village Heritage Conservation District (HCD). The Blair Village HCD was designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act in When the HCD was designated, Joan Lane did not exist and was used as agricultural land. Since 2001, Joan Lane was created as part of a new subdivision development within the HCD. It was anticipated that these new residences over time would eventually be integrated into the old village. ANALYSIS Strategic Alignment: PLACE: To take care of, celebrate and share the great features in Cambridge that we love and mean the most to us. Goal #3 - Arts, Culture, Heritage and Architecture Objective 3.2 Conserve and make positive contributions to our heritage districts and buildings throughout the community. Existing Policy/By-Law: Designation By-law Financial Impact: The property owners are responsible for all associated costs with this construction. Public Input: The Municipal Heritage Advisory Committee (MHAC) meetings are open to the public. Internal/External Consultation: The Senior Planner-Heritage liaised with the agent for the property owners on what was to be submitted for review by the MHAC and Council. Comments/Analysis: The property owner has submitted a development application (minor variance) to construct a detached garage to be located at the side and rear of the property. A minor variance is required to increase the height of the garage to 8.1 m ( ft.) from the maximum permitted for an accessory structure of 4.5 m (14.76 ft.). The proposed 007

8 detached garage has an area of m² (1, sq.ft.) A proposed site plan, renderings and floor plans have been submitted for review (Attachment 1). Because this area is a new subdivision, a Heritage Impact Assessment was not requested for this minor variance application. Section 8 of the Blair Village HCD Plan describes the policies for new residential subdivision dwellings (Attachment 2). The policies state that garages should be set back from the front and either recessed or detached. The design of the garage at 11 Joan Lane is in compliance with the HCD Plan and its design is compatible with the existing building stock on the street. Therefore, staff recommends that the MHAC recommend Council approve the construction of the proposed garage as outlined in MHAC report (MHAC).
