Presentation/Discussion 4.1 592 Kingston Road West: Review of Proposed Alterations 1 Heritage Advisory Committee February 29, 2012 Page 2 Ms. Michelle McCarthy, Planner, provided a summary of Ms. Letourneau’s proposal and noted that she was seeking approval of the Committee to move forward with restoration efforts. She noted that the property owners have made several cost inquiries with regard to potential restoration materials, specifically for the siding and south and west façade windows. Ms. Fanny Letourneau, property owner, reviewed the proposed alterations to the siding, windows and front door of 592 Kingston Road West. She noted details of the proposed alterations to include replacement of the existing white siding with red vinyl siding to return the house to its original redbrick colour Ms. Letourneau’s proposal included replacement of all south (front) and west facing windows to their original form and detail (6 over 6 double hung window) using specially constructed, high energy efficient, pine wood windows. The front door transom and half sidelights will be replaced with the same wood window of the same profile as existing. The front door will be replaced with a black metal door in keeping with the original look of the front entrance. The existing black shutters will be refinished in black and reinstalled. The front door, transom and half sidelights will be replaced with a black metal door to match the shutters in keeping with the original look of the front entrance. The existing black shutters will be refinished and reinstalled. The eaves troughs will be replaced with high grade metal troughing, dark charcoal gray in colour, with deep troughs and antique white struts. No fundamental structural changes to the property were noted. Members raised questions relative to the replacement of the vinyl siding and inquired whether insulation will be replaced during the process. Members inquired the financial impact of restoring the property’s original brick. Ms. Letourneau noted that it is anticipated that minimal insulation will require removal during the siding replacement. She advised that restoration of the original brick exterior is not a financially feasible option at this time, however during replacement of the siding the condition of the brick would be determined and that restoration may be considered at a later date. Moved by: K. Bachmeier Seconded by: K. McCulloch That the restoration proposal for 592 Kingston Road West be approved by the Heritage Advisory Committee as presented. CARRIED 4.2 Art in Public Spaces Policy Updates and Public Art Review Panel Participation Mr. Gruber noted that Council had recently approved the revised Art in Public Spaces Policy. The amendments recommended by staff provide for greater clarity in the acquisition process, provide for increased Council input, as well as engagement opportunities to engage the creative community. The approved process was noted to include a Public Art Review Panel in place of the Recreation & Culture Advisory Committee’s review role. It provides for Council’s initial input prior to any submission call or commission in addition to final approval of the piece. 2 Heritage Advisory Committee February 29, 2012 Page 3 Mr. Gruber noted that the amended policy provides for participation of one representative each from the Recreation & Culture Advisory Committee, Heritage Advisory Committee, and Diversity & Community Engagement Advisory Committee. He reviewed details relative to the selection criteria and evaluation process. Several priority locations were noted for public art installations over the next five years, including Audley recreation Centre, Pat Bayly Square, Pickering Village, Greenwood Conservation Area, the Greenwood Discovery Pavilion and the Ajax Community Centre. Members raised questions relative to the frequency of meetings for the Review Panel. Mr. Gruber noted that the Panel will meet only when required and will be appointed for the term of Council. Members discussed the subjectivity of art review and critique and raised questions relative to the evaluation methods. The criteria used to review submissions were noted to be in a scored format. The Committee inquired whether the public will have the opportunity to attend meetings of the review panel. Mr. Gruber noted that public consultation beyond the panel could be sought if the piece was deemed controversial. Mr. Bachmeier expressed interest in participating on behalf of the Committee. Additionally, Mr. Gruber discussed details of a plaque unveiling in recognition of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebration. The bronze plaque, designed by landscape architect, Mr. Andrew Jackson, will be unveiled at Heritage Square on May 29, 2012. The plaque will depict the Town crest and the Queen’s official Diamond Jubilee emblem for Canada. Mr. Gruber noted that the event will include participation from local schools to sing the national anthem as well as a simple reception. Ms. Pierre proposed including participation of the colour party of the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, as well as engaging children with stamp and coin collecting. Councilor Dies proposed displaying the painted portrait of the Queen from the Ajax Archives alongside a book for people to sign celebratory wishes to the Queen. Councillor Dies and Ms. Moore proposed hosting a celebration event such as an afternoon tea and solicited feedback from the Committee. The St. Francis Centre during Doors Open on September 29 was noted as a potential date and venue for programming. Mr. Gruber encouraged the Committee to prepare a proposal. A brief discussion item relative to the event is to be included on the April 4, 2012 Meeting agenda. Councillor Dies requested that the Diamond Jubilee event opportunity also be shared with members of the Diversity & Community Engagement Advisory Committee. 4.3 Amending Designation By-laws 497 Kingston Road West 22 Linton Avenue Ms. Chrus noted minor amendments required to the addresses listed in designation by-laws for 497 Kingston Road West and 22 Linton Avenue. She advised that the property owners will be notified of the proposed amendments and that the amended by-laws will be presented to the General Government Committee and Council in April for approval. Once Council has approved the amendments, notice will be sent to the property owners that there will be a thirty day appeal period. After the appeal period concludes, the by-laws will be brought forward to Council
