LOCAL ARCHITECTURAL
CONSERVATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE (LACAC)
The LACAC unanimously
approved the report recommendations at its meeting of 9 Nov 2006.
BACKGROUND
The buildings located at 80‑82
St. Andrew Street (see Document 1) are within the boundaries of the Lowertown
West Heritage Conservation District, designated under Part V of the Ontario
Heritage Act in 1994 through By-law 192-94. This report has been prepared because the consent of City Council
is required before a building can be demolished and new construction can
proceed within a heritage conservation district.
The building located at 80‑82 St. Andrew Street is a flat-roofed, two-storey structure that was built prior to 1869 (see Document 2). It is clad in metal siding and has a front porch with a shed roof. The building has been extensively altered and was rated as a Category 4 building, or a building of no heritage significance, as part of the Lowertown West Heritage Conservation District Study.
The building located at 84‑86 St. Andrew Street is a gable-roofed, two-storey building that was built prior to 1870 (see Document 2). It is a Category 3 building. It is clad in metal siding and has a porch with a metal awning.
The applicant proposes to demolish the building located at 80‑82 St. Andrew Street and to construct a three-storey replacement building linked to 84‑86 St. Andrew Street. The building located at 84‑86 St. Andrew Street will be rehabilitated. Some alterations are proposed, including the construction of dormers on the front elevation and the rearrangement of window openings on the front elevation. This project will require variances from the Committee of Adjustment before it may proceed.
The replacement building located at 80‑82 St. Andrew Street will be clad in brick and will be three storeys high, with the third storey set back from the front elevation (see Document 4 and Document 5). It will have a building cornice, regularly spaced windows and an entrance at grade with canopy. The linking building between 80‑82 St. Andrew Street and 84‑86 St. Andrew Street will be contemporary in its massing, fenestration and use of materials. The rear yard setback of the linking building will be 7.9 m, allowing for a landscaped area to the rear of the linking building.
DISCUSSION
The Guidelines for Infill Buildings in the Lowertown West Heritage Conservation District Study recommend:
- Infill buildings must respect the scale, setbacks, architectural design and materials of neighbouring buildings.
- Small scale development, working within existing lot divisions, should be encouraged.
- Contemporary design should contribute to and enhance the continuing architectural evolution of the District. Infill buildings should not attempt to appear older than they are.
The Department supports this application because it respects the scale and design of buildings in the streetscape. The proposed development is small in scale and maintains the appearance of existing lot divisions. The replacement building located at 80‑82 St. Andrew Street will be contemporary in character and compatible with adjacent heritage buildings. It will be clad in brick, but will make use of contemporary approaches to fenestration and building decoration. The building located at 84‑86 St. Andrew Street will be rehabilitated and altered sympathetically, improving its appearance in the streetscape. Finally, the link between 80‑82 St. Andrew Street and 84‑86 St. Andrew Street will be a subordinate element in the streetscape and contemporary in character, in keeping with the intent of the guidelines.
CONSULTATION
Adjacent property owners were notified by letter of the date of the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC) and Planning and Environment Committee meetings and were provided with comment sheets to be returned to LACAC. This is in accordance with current public participation policies.
The Ward Councillor is aware of the application.
