Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page i Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Town of Whitby is undertaking the Brooklin Study to prepare plans for growth management in the Brooklin area. Stage 1 involves the preparation of background studies to inform the secondary plan. The Brooklin Landowners Group is working collaboratively with the Town in preparing some background studies for Stage 1. This cultural heritage resource survey identifies cultural heritage resources in a Study Area that forms a horseshoe around the existing development in Brooklin. This survey documents existing and potential cultural heritage resources within and adjacent to the Study Area and reviews both existing and proposed heritage policies in the Town’s Official Plan and recommends additional policies for the Brooklin Secondary Plan.
After a review of the historical development of the area within its larger geographic context, a survey of existing and potential heritage resources was conducted within and adjacent to the Study Area making use of various heritage lists developed by the Town, historic and recent maps of the area, historic and current aerial photographs, material in the Whitby Archives including historic photographs, a variety of published sources and area site visits. All roads within the study area were driven and, in some cases, sections walked. Existing and potential cultural heritage resources were photographed from the road except where public access was permitted. The resources were assessed based on heritage integrity and the evaluation criteria established by Provincial regulation
The area, surveyed into lots and concessions in 1795, was developed largely for agricultural purposes, although two mills, one in and one adjacent to the Study Area, were developed. One of the two area railways, the Port Whitby to Port Perry Railway, had considerable local significance in its development and its attempt to define Whitby’s hinterland. Where still visible, the alignment of this railway was identified as a linear cultural heritage resource. The Study Area has remained largely rural to this day, with the cultural heritage resources being primarily farmsteads and farm houses. One school, now a community centre; one cemetery; houses associated with the mills; a farm associated with a soil conservation conference and an international ploughing match; and nine road segments were the other types of cultural heritage resources identified. Within the Study Area, 11 Built Heritage Resources and 15 Cultural Heritage Landscapes were identified. A Cultural Heritage Landscape (CHL) may include one or more built resources together with landscape features immediately around those built resources. The nine road segments were also identified as CHLs.
In total, 35 properties and 9 road segments have known or potential cultural heritage values, of which 28 properties were within and 7 adjacent to the Study Area. Six additional properties in the Town’s Heritage Register do not have significant cultural heritage values. Three of the 35 properties were identified as having outstanding cultural heritage values.
It is recommended that: 1. the 6 properties not having significant cultural heritage value be removed from the Register; 2. the 3 properties with outstanding cultural heritage values be designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act; 3. the Port to Port Railway alignment, where it still exists, be commemorated; 4. where possible, conserve the 9 road segments having cultural heritage value; 5. the municipality work with the owners of the 18 properties within and adjacent to the Study Area not listed in the Heritage Register to include them in the Register; 6. a heritage impact assessment be required with any planning application in the Study Area involving or adjacent to a property identified in this Survey as having a designated or potential cultural heritage resource; and 7. either the Whitby Official Plan or the Brooklin Secondary Plan include policies that define the scope and application of a heritage impact assessment.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Town of Whitby is undertaking a comprehensive study, called the Brooklin Study, to prepare a Secondary Plan and Transportation Master Plan to enable the Town to guide and manage growth in the Brooklin area. The purpose of the Secondary Plan is to determine the land use designations for the urban expansion areas north and west of Brooklin, the industrial lands adjacent to the future Highway 407 and the lands in the vicinity of the Conlin Road/Anderson Street intersection, as well as to update the existing Brooklin Community Secondary Plan. Stage 1 involves the preparation of a number of background studies to inform the secondary plan and potential land uses.
The Brooklin Landowners Group is working collaboratively with the Town of Whitby in preparing some of the background studies for Stage 1. This report, the Cultural Heritage Resource Survey, is one of the background studies prepared as part of Stage 1 of the Brooklin Study and was prepared on behalf of the Brooklin Landowners Group. This report was peer reviewed by the Town’s consultants and comments and input by the Town’s peer reviewer have been incorporated into this report.
The purpose of this report is to document existing and potential cultural heritage resources within and adjacent to the Study Area. As part of this cultural heritage resource survey, existing and proposed heritage policies in the Whitby Official Plan are examined and any additional policies to assist in the conservation of heritage resources in the Study Area are recommended.
The Brooklin Landowners Group retained Wayne Morgan, Heritage Planner, to prepare this Cultural Heritage Resource Survey based on generally accepted heritage conservation practice and principles, taking into consideration provincial and municipal heritage policies that may affect the area, and any heritage work that may have been conducted in the area by the Town, its heritage advisory committee and other heritage consultants.
The lands that are to be added to the Secondary Plan area are shown in Appendix A. The Study Area for this Cultural Heritage Resource Survey is an approximation of those lands to be added to the Secondary Plan Area taking into consideration property boundaries. The Study Area includes lands and buildings within Lots 18 to 31 in Concessions 4 to 7 in the Town. The Study Area does not include lands within the existing Secondary Plan Area of Brooklin although currently identified heritage resources within that area are listed in summary form in this report. The Study Area is generally located south of Brawley Road, north of Conlin Road, east of Country Lane and west of the municipal boundary with the City of Oshawa.
The lands of the Brooklin Landowners Group are shown in Appendix A.
A curriculum vitae for Wayne Morgan has been included as Appendix F.

2.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY AREA AND ITS CONTEXT
2.1 Location
The Study Area is located in the Town of Whitby (formerly Township) in the Regional Municipality of Durham (formerly County of Ontario ) and includes lands in Lots 18 to 31 in the fourth to seventh concessions on three sides of the built-up area of the community of Brooklin and north of the built-up area of Whitby (Figure 2.1). It is bounded generally on the east by the municipal boundary with Oshawa, on the north by Brawley Road, on the south by Conlin Road and on the west by Country Lane.

2.2 Area Character and Physiography
As shown on the topographic maps (Appendix B), the Study Area is rolling land that slopes to the south to Lake Ontario. Three streams or creeks in distinct valleys cut through the Study Area draining the Oak Ridges Moraine to the north. These creeks are generally aligned in a north – south direction. They are the west branch of the Oshawa Creek, which is on the east limit of the Study Area, the east or main branch of the Lynde Creek, which passes through the community of Brooklin, and the west branch of the Lynde Creek which is towards the west limit of the Study Area. In addition, there are various tributaries of these creeks which pass through the area. Large sections of the creek valleys are forested. The 1975 map shows numerous lines of fence row vegetation in the farmed portion of the Study Area. The topographic maps show a substantial portion of the Study Area cleared for cultivation. Numerous rural dwellings and farm buildings are shown scattered throughout the area. On the more recent topographic maps, two utility services cross the Study Area – a high voltage electric transmission corridor passing through the south and a gas pipeline passing through the north-west.
The area character shown in the topographic maps is illustrated in the 1927, 1946 and 1960 aerial photographs (Appendix C)1. In addition, the photographs show two railways that once crossed the Study Area – a railway running north-south through Brooklin and an east-west railway running through the south limit of the area. .
2 Gormley The Study Area is located in the South Slope physiographic region which is described as: Queen Street the southern slope of the interlobate moraine [Oak Ridges Moraine] … It rises to the line of contact with the moraine at 800 to 1,000 feet above sea level. … Extending from the Niagara escarpment to the Trent River it covers approximately 940 square miles. … The central portion, in Ontario and Durham counties, is drumlinized, although drumlins are scattered and are of the long thin type pointing directly up the slope. The streams flow directly down the slope; being rapid they have cut sharp valleys in the till. In addition, numerous gullies have been cut by intermittent drainage so that the east-west sideroads cross a succession of valleys. … The South Slope contains a variety of soils, some of which have proved to be excellent through more than a century of agricultural use.
The south end of the Study Area includes a small portion of the glacial Lake Iroquois shoreline and a sand plain, an area generally south of the former east-west railway.

2.3 Context - General Character
The Study Area is within an immediate district that remains rural in character except for the community of Brooklin, which, as shown in the aerial photographs (Appendix C), has grown considerably since 1960. However, to the west, north and east of the Study Area, the lands remain rural, with a large portion being forested. To the south-west of the Study Area there is a large forested area forming the Herber Down Conservation area.
Beyond the immediate area, the lands to the south of the subject Study Area, especially south of Taunton Road, have been urbanized forming the community of Whitby, while lands to the north are rural, forming part of the Oak Ridges Moraine or lands adjacent to the Moraine.
Many of the concession and side roads such as Anderson, Ashburn, Brawley, Columbus, Country Lane, Cochrane, Conlin and Garrard, adjacent to and within the Study Area remain rural in character – two paved or gravel lanes with open drainage ditches and no sidewalks. Where these roads abut the built-up area of Brooklin, they have been expanded and converted to an urban profile – enclosed drainage ditches and sidewalks. Thickson Road, regional road 26, is a heavily traveled rural road. Winchester Road, where it forms part of Highway 7, was currently being expanded. Baldwin Street, Highway 12 and 7 (in part), is heavily travel road that passes through Brooklin. Highway 407, which will pass through the southern portion of the Study Area, is in the initial stages of development with land being cleared for eventual construction.
The area is traversed by a high voltage electric transmission corridor and gas pipeline discussed earlier.
As discussed in Chapter 4 and below, the Study Area and adjacent areas contain numerous designated and listed heritage properties, as well as properties of heritage interest.
2.4 Context - Adjacent Heritage Properties
Seven properties adjacent to the Study Area were identified as having potential heritage resources as shown in Table 2.1. An eighth property, currently listed in the Whitby municipal heritage register as having potential heritage resources, was examined during this study. It was concluded that there were no longer any significant cultural heritage resources on this eighth property and that it should be removed from the register. Each of these properties is described in detail in Appendix D.
No other potential heritage properties were identified adjacent to the Study Area.

3.0 Heritage Policies
3.1 The Planning Act and Provincial Policy Statement (2014)
Section 2 of the Planning Act identifies, “matters of provincial interest, which includes the conservation of significant features of architectural, cultural, historical, archaeological or scientific interest.” 3
Section 3 of the Planning Act enables the Province to issue Policy Statements on matters of Provincial Interest. The Provincial Policy Statement (2014) (PPS) issued under the Planning Act applies to this Study Area. PPS Section 2.6 addresses Cultural Heritage. PPS Policy 2.6.1 states:
Significant built heritage resources and significant cultural heritage landscapes shall be conserved.
The PPS provides the following definitions to the italicized terms.
Significant means in regard to cultural heritage and archaeology, “resources that have been determined to have cultural heritage value or interest for the important contribution they make to our understanding of the history of a place, an event, or a people.”
Built heritage resources “means a building, structure, monument, installations or any manufactured remnant that contributes to a property’s cultural heritage value or interest as identified by a community, including Aboriginal community. Built heritage resources are generally located on property that has been designated under Parts IV or V of the Ontario Heritage Act, or included on local, provincial and/or federal registers.”
Cultural heritage landscape means a defined geographical area that may have been modified by human activities and is identified as having cultural heritage value or interest by a community including an Aboriginal community. The area may involve features such as structures, spaces, archaeological sites or natural elements that are valued together for their interrelationship meaning or association. Examples may include, but are not limited to, heritage conservation districts designated under the Ontario Heritage Act; villages, parks, gardens, battlefields, mainstreets and neighbourhoods, cemeteries, trailways, viewsheds, natural areas and industrial complexes of heritage significance, and areas recognized by federal or international designation authorities (e.g., a National Historic Site or District designation, or a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
3 Ontario Ministry of Culture. Heritage Resources in the Land Use Planning Process, p 1. Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 7 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario
conserved means “the identification, protection, management and use of built heritage resources, cultural heritage landscapes and archaeological resources in a manner that ensures their cultural heritage value or interest is retained under the Ontario Heritage Act. This may be achieved by the implementation of recommendations set out in a conservation plan, archaeological assessment and/or heritage impact assessment. Mitigative measures and/or alternative development approaches can be included in these plans and assessments.”
Policy 2.6.3 of the PPS deals with development adjacent to a protected heritage property:,
Planning authorities shall not permit development and site alteration on adjacent lands to protected heritage property except where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conserved.
Each of the italicized terms has the following definition in the PPS:
Development means “the creation of a new lot, a change in land use, or the construction of buildings and structures, requiring approval under the Planning Act”;
Site alteration means activities, such as grading, excavation and the placement of fill that would change the landform and natural vegetative characteristics of a site; Adjacent lands means “for the purposes of policy 2.6.3, those lands contiguous to a protected heritage property or as otherwise defined in the municipal official plan”;
Protected heritage property means ”property designated under Part IV, V or VI of the Ontario Heritage Act; property subject to a heritage conservation easement under Parts II or IV of the Ontario Heritage Act; property identified by the Province and prescribed public bodies as provincial heritage property under the Standards and Guidelines for Conservation of Provincial Heritage Properties; property protected under federal legislation, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites”.
Heritage attributes means “the principal features or elements that contribute to a protected heritage property’s cultural heritage value or interest, and many included the property’s built or manufactured elements, as well as natural landforms, vegetation, water features, and its visual setting (including significant views or vistas to or from a protected heritage property)”; and
Conserved is defined above.
3.2 Ontario Heritage Act (OHA)
Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act enables a municipality to list and designate properties of cultural value or interest after consultation with its heritage advisory committee, if one is appointed. Section 27 of the Act requires the municipal clerk to keep a register of properties
Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 8 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario of cultural heritage value or interest. Subsection 27.1 of the Act allows municipal councils to include properties of cultural heritage value that have not been designated (listed properties) on the register after the council has consulted with its heritage advisory committee.
The Provincial Government has established criteria for determining the cultural heritage value or interest of properties through Regulation 9/06 (Appendix E).
Once a property is designated, demolition or alterations that may affect the heritage attributes may not occur without municipal council approval. An owner may appeal Council’s decision on an application to alter or demolish to the Ontario Municipal Board. Once a property is listed in the municipal register under the Act, any application to demolish a building on a listed property is delayed for 60 days from the date when Council is notified of the intent to demolish, during which Council may wish to pursue designation of the property.
Part V of the Act enables a municipality to designate a group of properties as a heritage conservation district following completion of a prescribed study and adoption of a district plan. Once a property is designated under Part V, demolition or alteration of the exterior of a structure on a property within the district may not occur except with the approval of municipal council or appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board.
3.3 Places to Grow – Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe
In 2006, the Provincial Government approved the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The Growth Plan is the Government’s framework for development and the management of growth in the area to 2031. Policy 2.2.3 requires that at least 40% of all new residential development in the municipality be within the built-up area. To that end, the policy encourages intensification within existing built-up areas. Policy 2.2.7 of the Growth Plan requires that new development in designated greenfield areas be developed in such a way that it creates complete communities with an emphasis on walking, cycling, transit, a mix of uses and high quality open spaces. In addition the policies for greenfield areas specify the requirement to achieve certain density targets. For the area included in the ‘Greenbelt Area’ the Growth Plan specifies that ‘all policies regarding natural systems set out in provincial plans .. continue to apply’. The Greenbelt Area designation appears to apply to only the valley lands within the Study Area.
The Growth Plan requires that municipalities develop and implement official plan policies and other strategies in support of cultural heritage conservation (Section 4.2.4, policy e).
3.4 Greenbelt Plan 2005
In February 2005, the Provincial Government approved the Greenbelt Plan which, for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, “identifies where urbanization should not occur in order to provide permanent protections to the agri cultural land base and the ecological features and functions occurring on this landscape”. The plan defines a ‘Protected Countryside” area for Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 9 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario lands not included in the Niagara Escarpment or Oak Ridges Moraine Plans. Within the protected Countryside Area, the Greenbelt Plan identifies ‘Town and Village’ areas and the ‘Natural Heritage System’.
The Greenbelt Plan identifies portions of the subject Study Area that are within the valleys as part of the natural heritage system. The policies of the Plan provide for the permanent protection of such areas by prohibiting uses that would impair the natural heritage system. Municipal plans must conform to the policies of the Greenbelt Plan.
There are no policies in the Greenbelt Plan that deal with cultural heritage resources.
3.5 Durham Region Official Plan
The working consolidation of the Official Plan of the Regional Municipality of Durham (Durham OP) dated January 9, 2013 has been reviewed for this report.
Schedule A, Map A4 facilities urban development of the Study Area by Urban System land use designations of ‘Living Areas’, ‘Employment Areas’ and, along Winchester and Columbus Roads, ‘Regional Corridor’. The older, built-up area of Brooklin, which is not part of the Study Area, is identified on the Map as Regional Centre.
Although there are no site or area specific heritage policies in the Durham OP in the Brooklin area, there are a number of broader policies applicable to heritage conservation in the area.
Policy 2.3.49 in Section 2, Environment, encourages area municipal councils to
utilize the Ontario Heritage Act to conserve, protect and enhance the built and cultural heritage resources of the municipality, to establish Municipal Heritage Committees to consult regarding matters relating to built and cultural heritage resources planning and the designation of heritage conservation district and properties …
In addition, there are more specific policies referencing the conservation of cultural heritage resources.
Policy 4.3.9 e) in Section 4, Housing, requires that area municipal councils, in the preparation of municipal official plans, include policies to preserve, improve, rehabilitate or redevelop older residential areas which are in keeping with the cultural heritage resource policies of this Plan and the respective area municipal official plans.
Policy 7.3.14 e) in Section 7, Regional Structure, requires that, in the preparation of a secondary plan by an area municipality, an assessment of how new growth will affect the natural, built and cultural environments shall be considered.
Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 10 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario
Finally, under sub-section 8A, Centres, Corridors and Waterfront Places, policy 8A.2.14 requires that, in the preparation of area municipal official plans, area municipalities include, among other matters, policies to ensure and guide higher density development in Urban Growth Centres, Regional and Local Centres, Regional and Local Corridors and Waterfront Places, while protecting the integrity of historic downtowns, were applicable.
3.6 Whitby Official Plan
The Whitby Official Plan (OP) was adopted by Whitby Council on September 28, 1994 and approved by the Region of Durham on December 6, 1995. The Town has made subsequent amendments to its Official Plan. The office consolidation of the OP dated December 2010 has been reviewed for this report. The municipality is currently undertaking a review of its OP. The in-force OP is reviewed first and then the proposed OP policies as they apply to cultural heritage resources in the Study Area are reviewed.
3.6.1 The Current Whitby Official Plan
Chapter 6, section 6.1 of the OP contains Whitby’s Heritage Resources Policies.
The following policies are relevant to the Study Area.
6.1.1 Goal
6.1.1.1 To identify and preserve heritage resources such as a buildings, other structures and sites which are of historical, architectural and archaeological significance.
6.1.2 Objectives
6.1.2.1 To achieve sound growth management through an effective balance between preserving the significant elements of the community’s cultural and natural heritage and providing the opportunity for new development and growth.
6.1.2.2 To ensure all new development permitted by the policies and designations of this Plan has regard for heritage resources and shall whenever possible, incorporate these resources into any plan that may be prepared.
6.1.2.3 To promote greater awareness of the Municipality’s heritage resrouces among the general public.
6.1.2.4. To encourage the preservation of buildings and sites of architectural, archaeological or historical significance and historical monuments, on the original site, wherever possible and to preserve historical documents and materials.
Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 11 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario
6.1.3 Policies
Pursuant to Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, Council has established a Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (L.A.C.A.C.) to advise and assist Council on all matters relating to the Town’s heritage. Council, prior to giving notice to designate a building or other structure under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, shall consult with the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee.
6.1.3.1 Council, in co-operation with the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee, shall:
a) Identify and preserve, where possible, buildings and other structures which are of historical and/or architectural significance;
b) Encourage new development which is sympathetic to the existing settlement fabric
6.1.3.3 Council shall encourage and support the recognition and preservation of significant heritage resources by designating, under Part IV and Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act, buildings and other structures identified as being architecturally and/or historically significant. The Municipality shall also encourage the rehabilitation of such heritage buildings and other structures where necessary.
6.1.3.5 Council shall encourage all new development and redevelopment within historic settlement areas to develop in contextual harmony with the overall character of these areas. Existing buildings and other features of architectural or historical significance which are located on lands to be developed shall be conserved whenever possible and their conservation may be a requirement in any development agreement or approval.
While the above policies of the Whitby OP do provide for the possible conservation of some cultural heritage resources, they are limited in scope and do not reflect the amendments made to the Ontario Heritage Act in 2005 which have given municipalities broader scope to manage the conservation of cultural heritage resources.
3.6.2 The Proposed Whitby Official Plan
The following proposed cultural heritage and archaeological resources policies for the Whitby Official Plan appear in a draft document prepared by the municipality in March 2013 and reflect the amendments to the Act in 2005. Only the proposed policies relevant to the Study Area have been quoted.
6.1.1 Goal
6.1.1.1 To identify and conserve Whitby’s cultural heritage resources and archaeological resources so that they may be experienced and appreciated by existing and future Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 12 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario
generations, and enhance Whitby’s sense of history, sense of community, identity, sustainability, economic health and quality of life.

3.6.3 Recommended Heritage Policies for the Brooklin Secondary Plan
Compared to other municipalities, the proposed Whitby OP heritage policies, although an improvement over the in-force OP heritage policies, are still deficient in certain respects. These include:
A definition of for ‘heritage impact assessment’; and Application of the requirement for a “heritage impact assessment’ for development proposals containing or adjacent to cultural heritage resources identified through designation, listing in the Register or through cultural heritage resource surveys as part of the planning process.
The following are recommended heritage policies for the Brooklin Secondary Plan. The policies would supplement the in-force and proposed policies in the Town’s OP.
Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 14 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario
Alternatively, the following recommended policies could be substituted for proposed policy 6.1.4.6 in the Whitby’s Official Plan.
1. A Heritage Impact Assessment for a property included or adjacent to a property included on the Town’s Heritage Register, or identified by either City staff or a cultural heritage resource survey as having potential cultural heritage value, shall be prepared for a proposed development when:
i. the proposal requires one or more of the following: an official plan amendment, a zoning by-law amendment, a plan of subdivision, a plan of condominium, a minor variance or a site plan application, or
ii. the proposal involves the demolition of a building or the removal of a building or heritage landscape feature on the property, or
iii. Town staff believes that there is potential for adverse impact to a cultural heritage resource from the proposed development.
2. A Heritage Impact Assessment shall be prepared by a qualified conservation professional with expertise in cultural heritage resources and submitted to the Town in accordance with the requirements of the Town’s Official Plan and this secondary plan.
3. A Heritage Impact Assessment shall include the following regarding the property and/or cultural heritage landscape:
a. A description of the cultural heritage values;
b. Contextual information;
c. The current condition and use of all constituent features;
d. Relevant planning and land use considerations;
e. A description of the proposed development and potential impacts, both adverse and beneficial, on the cultural heritage values;
f. Alternative strategies to mitigate adverse impacts;
g. Recommendations to conserve the cultural heritage values.
The Town may further refine the scope of heritage impact assessments.

4.0 METHODOLOGY
The methodology used in this study to identify potential cultural heritage resources involved utilizing information from a variety of sources to compile a composite picture of the resources. The information sources were:
lists from the Town of Whitby of designated and potential heritage resources; historic and recent maps of the area; historic and current aerial photographs of the area; information contained in the Whitby archives; published histories and studies of the area; registry, assessment roll and census records; and driving/walking the area to visually identify potential resources.
4.1 Town Lists
The Planning Department of the Town of Whitby provided the following lists of heritage properties for the whole Town, current as of the end of August, 2013:
a. designated - properties designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act; b. listed - properties listed in the municipal register of heritage properties as per section 27.1 of the Act; and c. of interest - properties identified by the municipal heritage committee as being of potential heritage interest.
The area does not include or abut a heritage conservation district, so no properties designated under Part V of the Act were examined. Each property was examined to determine whether it was within or adjacent to the Study Area.
The following three properties within the Study Area and are designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.
Table 4.1 Designated Properties within the Study Area No. Street Number Street Name Year Built Building Name By-law 1 7143 Ashburn Road 1864 John Mathewson House 1998-86 2 360 Columbus Road East 1835 Maple Shade Farm 4030-97 3 7675 Thickson Road North c.1856 John Calder House 4271-98
There are no designated properties that are adjacent to the Study Area.

There were no properties of ‘interest’ adjacent to the Study Area.
The Town staff also provided copies of their records on the properties listed above and of designation reports for the three designated properties.
4.2 Maps
The following maps, which are included in Appendix B, were used to identify variously property ownership, the presence of structures and landscape features:
a. 1860 – Tremaine’s map of Ontario County, b. 1877 – the Illustrated Atlas of Ontario County, c. 1895 – Goad’s map of property ownership, d. 1917 – the Guidal map of property ownership for Whitby Township, e. 1922 – 1930 – the 1:63,360 National Topographic map of the area; f. 1952 – the 1:50,000 National Topographic map of the area; and g. 1975 – the 1:25,000 National Topographic map of the area.
No other maps could be found that would be of assistance in identifying the historical development of the area.
Tremaine’s 1860 map is not consistent in its illustration of buildings, whether farm buildings or residences, but is useful in identifying property owners of that time. This map provides the earliest illustration of the division of land in the area, the initial road network and streams.
The 1877 Illustrated County Atlas is reasonably consistent in its identification of mills, schools, churches and residences. It does not identify farm buildings. This map was used in the site visits to determine whether any buildings shown on the 1877 map in and adjacent to the Study Area still existed. It was also used to show additional landscape developments,
Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 18 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario such as the building of the Port Whitby to Port Perry railway. Also there are two drawings in the County Atlas illustrating the development of farm properties within the Study Area – the farm pictured on the cover of this report (7143 Ashburn Road) and the farm at 330 Columbus Road East, both of which have been designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.
The original or a full copy of Goad’s 1895 map of landowners in the area could not be found. Therefore a composite map of the Study Area was developed using sections shown in the Unterman McPhail study of heritage landscapes prepared for the Highway 407 corridor. The map shows only owners in the rural area as of that date. It was used to enhance information about the history of properties in the area.
Complete coverage of the area was obtained for the 1917 Guidal map of property ownership. It was also used to enhance the history of properties in the area and it illustrates the construction of the Great Northern Railway through the south end of the area.
The 1922 -1930 National Topographic maps show both houses and barns in addition to landscape features such as roads, railways, forests, cultivated areas, prominent hedge/fence rows, topography and streams. This map, together with the 1927 aerial photographs, provides a more comprehensive understanding of the landscape and buildings existing at that time.
Similarly the 1952 and 1975 National Topographic maps provide landscape information at those times with the 1975 map providing more detailed information as it is at a larger scale than the 1952 map.
4.3 Aerial Photographs
The following aerial photographs included in Appendix C were used to identify buildings and landscape patterns:
a. 1927 – from the National Airphoto Library, scale 1: 15,000; b. 1946 – fro m the National Airphoto Library, scale 1: 20,000 – 25,000; c. 1960 – from the National Airphoto Library, scale 1: 25,000 – 30,000; d. 2005 – from Google Earth; and e. 2009 – from Google Earth.
The aerial photographs were used to understand the evolution of landscape patterns and the context within the built heritage resources existed. 1927 was the earliest set of airphotos available for the areas. In a few instances, when a site visit identified the potential for a heritage structure hiding within later alterations, the aerial photographs confirmed the building’s existence. For example, a site visit suggested the possibility that 7630 Thickson Road North contained an older house. However the 1927 aerial photograph showed that the existing house did not exist as of 1927.
Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 19 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario
The recent aerial photographs assist in understanding the current state of the structures (building footprint) and their landscape context.
4.4 Whitby Archives
The Whitby Archives was visited on August 29, 2013. The archives supplemented other information sources with files on properties that were designated. Selected family files were searched but they provided little additional information. Copies of reports done on several properties associated with the construction of Highway 407 were provided. In addition, the Archives provided a link to the website where the archives has copies of historic photographs of number of properties in the study area. These photographs, most of which are contained in Appendix D, assist in understanding the significance and heritage integrity of those resources.
4.5 Published Sources
Limited information has been published about the Study Area, although there is more information available on Brooklin and the Town of Whitby in general. These publications include:
a. Chronicles of a County Town by Brian Winter; b. A brief description of the Township of Whitby in the 1877 Atlas; c. The 1953 Tweedsmuir History of Brooklin; d. History of the County of Ontario 1615 – 1875 by Leo Johnson; e. Brooklin Heritage District Conservation Study by Bray Heritage et al; f. Cultural Heritage Documentation Report, Cultural Heritage Landscapes, Highway 407 East Extension by Unterman McPhail; g. Heritage Values of Selected Communities in the Regional Municipality of Durham by Archaeologix Inc.; and h. Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report and Documentation Report Built Heritage Resources, 5575 by Anderson Street by Archaeological Services Inc.
Only two of the above studies provide information specific to the Study Area – the Tweedsmuir History and the report on 5575 Anderson Street, which has been demolished. The former report provides information on another house which has been demolished.
In addition to these publications, the designation reports for the three designated properties in the Study Area were also consulted.
Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 20 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario
4.6 Registry, Assessment Roll and Census Records
Information from these sources was only collected for properties which this study is recommending for immediate designation. Such information has been collected for properties in the Study Area that are currently designated. For all other properties this information will be collected when the cultural heritage impact studies, which this study recommends, are conducted as part of the development plan submission for each property.
4.7 Site Visits
All streets in and adjacent to the Study Area were surveyed on site on August 16, 20 and 25, 2013. The survey involved driving and walking the streets and recording information based on the sources listed above, observations of the researcher and his knowledge of heritage resources. The buildings were observed from the street except where access to the public is permitted (e.g., 5360 Thickson Road North). Photographs of the properties contained in Appendix D date from those site visits except where a photograph in the Town’s file provided a better view of the building or landscape.
An additional site visit was made on November 25, 2013 to examine the structures at 7590 Garrard Road which could not be viewed from the road during the August 2013 site visits. The interior of this building was also examined during this site visit to assist in the heritage evaluation of this property.
4.8 Heritage Integrity
For the exterior of built resources, a high level of heritage integrity involves the retention of original or historically important building fabric including massing, cladding, roof shape, windows, doors, foundations and verandas. Heritage integrity was determined based on the extensive experience of the researcher, by viewing the exterior of the structures on the site visits and, where historic photos were available, making comparisons with the current condition of the structure. It is recognized that some alterations that have resulted in the loss of some heritage fabric can be reversed given sufficient documentary evidence. It is also recognized that some alterations that have been made are sympathetic to the heritage character of the resource. Only where there was overwhelming visual evidence that the heritage integrity of a built resource has been seriously compromised was a low level of integrity used, in conjunction with other heritage evaluation criteria, as a basis for rejecting a built resource as having sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant further investigation.
4.9 Evaluation of Culture Heritage Value
Criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest of a property are set out under Ontario Regulation 9/06 made under the Ontario Heritage Act (Appendix E). These criteria
Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 21 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario were developed to assist municipalities in evaluating properties considered for designation under the Act. They are grouped into three broad categories – design or physical value, historical or associative value and contextual value. Criteria specific to Whitby have not been adopted by Town Council; therefore the provincial criteria were used in this evaluation.
The criteria, in and of themselves, are insufficient in an evaluation of heritage resources to make a comprehensive determination on the heritage merit of resource conservation. Other factors that must be considered include the resource condition – that is the extent of deterioration in the attributes and fabric of a resource – and its heritage integrity – that is the extent to which significant heritage attributes remain in place.
Except where designation under the Ontario Heritage Act is recommended or where a resource is identified as having insufficient cultural heritage value to warrant conservation, the evaluations in this report are preliminary and subject to further study.
4.10 Road Analysis
In this study, individual road segments were assessed to determine whether they have sufficient heritage value to be potential cultural heritage landscapes using Regulation 09/06 (Appendix E). Since all roads within the Study Area have historical or associative value in that they were laid out in 1795, simply being part of that survey and opening the surrounding lands to development was not considered sufficient to warrant identification as a potential cultural heritage resource. This study also considered the following:
- Design Value: does the road right-of-way retain a design (profile, width, landscaping, materials) associated with the historical development of the area up to the 1940s; and - Contextual Value: does the road right-of-way also exist in close proximity to built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes identified elsewhere in this study.
Each road segment in the Study Area was driven and, in some cases, walked to identify the following design characteristics:
- Width (number of travelled lanes); - Paving material (asphalt, gravel or dirt); - Drainage (open grassed ditches or buried storm drains and catch basins); - Sidewalks and curbs; - Vegetative border (vegetation within or on the boundary of the road rights-of-way); - Fencing (wire, split cedar rail or stone); and - Unique features (creek valley, high hydro poles and wires, high voltage transmission corridor, road is unassumed, bridges, panorama views).
The results of this road inventory and evaluation are contained in tables and maps in Appendix G.

5.0 HISTORICAL SUMMARY
The Stage 1 Archaeological Assessment of the Study Area by Archeoworks Inc. provides an overview of the first habitation of the area following the last glaciation through to the first contact with European explorers. Since this study deals with the visible built and landscape cultural heritage resources, it is focused on the European settlement of the area.
With the end of the American revolutionary war in 1776 and the flood of American migrants loyal to the Crown into the British North American colonies, the Upper Canada colonial government sought to secure lands to settle those migrants through negotiations with area Indians. In 1783, and subsequent meetings in 1787 and 1788, the Mississauga Indians agreed to sell the British government a tract of land stretching from the Trent River to the Etobicoke Creek along the north shore of Lake Ontario (Appendix C – 179?). This agreement is often referred to as the ‘Shot Gun Treaty”4 “so called because the extent of the purchase inland was defined by the distance a gunshot could be heard, approximately 12 miles.”5 As this purchase was contested, the 1923 Williams Treaty attempted to settle the transfer of ownership to the Crown. “Final legal extinction of Indian title in this area was not achieved until 1973.”6 Lands forming the Township / Town of Whitby were part of this acquisition.
Whitby Township, named for the seaport of Whitby in Yorkshire County, England, was originally identified as Township No. 8 and then Norwich Township. It was established as an administrative unit within the Nassau District, later renamed the Home District. Whitby Township became a municipality in 1849. In 1851, the Home District was divided into York, Peel and Ontario counties with Whitby included as part of Ontario County in 1852.7 In 1855, the south-west part of the Township was incorporated as the Town of Whitby, while the east portion of the Township separated in 1858 to create the Township of East Whitby. In 1968 the Township and Town of Whitby were amalgamated to form the Town of Whitby. In 1974 the Regional Municipality of Durham was created from portions of the Counties of Ontario and Durham, with the subject lands included in the new Town of Whitby. The Town is bounded on the south by Lake Ontario, on the north by Scugog Township, on the east by the City of Oshawa and on the west by the Towns of Pickering and Ajax.
Whitby Township was surveyed starting in 1791 and completed by Jones in 1795 with the base line for the concessions being just north of the Lake Ontario shoreline and the concessions numbered north of this base. Lots were numbered starting at the east limit of the then Township. The township was laid out in a variation of the ‘Single Front System’:
… two systems emerge as the basic methods of land survey from 1783 to 1829, the Single Front and Double Front systems. … The size of the lots varied, with 120 and 200 acres the common sizes. The shape was long and narrow, … 19 x 105
4 Johnson, pp. 23 – 25. 5 Gentilcore, plate 82. 6 Ibid. 7 Dean, plate 98. Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner

chains (approximately) for the larger. The system resulted in a settlement pattern consisting of single rows of farmsteads along the concession line road. Intensity of land use decreased to the back of the concession where woodlands persisted. As settlement matured many of the 200 acre lots in these townships were divided … The result … was a new settlement pattern with houses now appearing in double rows.8
In Whitby Township, concession blocks consisted of two rows of 200 acre lots bounded by sideroads on the east and west and concession roads on the north and south. The resulting 200 acre rectangular lots were frequently divided in half into 100 acre parcels.
The initial survey system imposed a settlement grid system and a basic road network on the land that persists to this day. During the early settlement period, most of the trees would have been removed along and adjacent to the road rights-of-way. Later, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, efforts were made to enhance the road landscapes in parts of the Study Area. Figure 5.1 shows Columbus Road East, looking west to Thickson Road in 1904.
Figure No. 5.1 Columbus Road East, 1904 [Source: Whitby Archives]
The subject lands are identified relative to this grid system. The lots, which variously number from 18 to 30, are found in Concessions 4 through to 7.
5.1 Development of the Area
5.1.1 The Larger Geographic Area and Whitby Township
Chapman and Putnam, in their discussion of physiographic regions of southern Ontario, have described the historical settlement and land use of the South Slope, in which the Study Area is located, up to the 1960s.
8 Gentilcore, 6 - 8 Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 24 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario
Lying behind the lakeshore areas of first settlement in Upper Canada, the South Slope was colonized by the ‘second wave’, composed largely of British immigrants after the close of the Napoleonic wars. … A mixed, subsistence agriculture was undoubtedly the rule in the early settlements but grain soon began to be exported from the little lake ports. This was increased by the repeal of the Corn Laws in Britain and by reciprocity with the United States; several of the main haulage roads were improved, and some were made into plank roads. In the mid –fifties the railways appeared. The period of grain growing was a period of prosperity, as the stony soils were cleared to make them suitable for the use of ho rse-drawn machinery. … Wheat growing declined to be replaced by commercial mixed farming in which beef cattle, hogs and dairy butter were the chief sources of income. … The expansion of the Toronto milk shed displaced the beef cattle and hogs over a large part of the region.9
Chapman and Putnam closed their discussion of the change of use in the South Slope noting that a large portion was falling in the ‘urban shadow’, being converted to urban use.10
The opportunity for European settlement of WhitbyTownship was afforded by the survey of the Township. However, settlement was delayed due to the failure of an immigration scheme associated with a 1,000 acre land grant in the Township to William Willcocks. “On May 25, 1796 Governor Simcoe ordered that Whitby and 11 other townships seized for similar reason be delcared open for settlement by any perison who wanted land.”11 As with settlement throughout much of Upper Canada, one seventh of the land was set aside for clergy reserves and one seventh for crown reserves. On the remaining lands, settlers receiving land grants usually had settlement duties that included clearing a portion of the land and constructing a log dwelling.
In 1804, the first census for Whitby Township (which included East Whitby Township) revealed that there were 88 inhabitants, mostly in the Oshawa area. “Before 1830, most of the settlers in Whitby Township were emigrants from the United States.”12 After 1830 settlers to the township were predominantly British.13 The population of Whitby Township was 279 in 1811, 505 in 1820 and 3,948 in 1837.
Smith’s Canadian Gazetteer describes Whitby Township in 1846 as
61,841 acres are taken up, 28,474 of which are under cultivation. This is a well settled township, containing a large portion of excellent land which is mostly rolling. The farms are generally well cleared and cultivated, and in good order. The timber is a mixture of hardwood and pine. There are some excellent mill streams in the townshipl The flourishing villages of Oshawa and Whitby are situated on the main road from Toronto to Kingston; Gibb’s Mills, about one mile

south from Oshawa; Windsor Harbour [Whitby Harbour] on the lake shore; and columbus and Winchester [Brooklin] in the rear of the township on the plank road from Windsor Bay [Whitby Harbour] to Skugog. There are eight grist and twenty-five saw mills in the township. Population in 1842, 5,714; who are a mixture of English, Irish, Scotch, Canadians and Americans. 14
The township developed from subsistence farming in the early 19th century to a wheat growing area in the mid-1800s. Wheat was the principal crop prior to 1870 occupying about one quarter to one third of the cultivated land. Fall wheat planting predominated until the 1860s when spring wheat became more important. From the 1850s to the 1890s, there was a consistent increase in the acreage of township land under cultivation. Prosperous farm complexes, mature agricultural fields, local road and developing railway networks and mills, both saw and grist mills on the larger streams and rivers characterized the landscape of the Study Area in the mid 19th century.
Windsor [Whitby] Harbour developed as a port of entry in 1831. “Windsor (Whitby) Harbour reached its peak of commercial activity in 1853, when it was second only to Toronto for the amount of business done by ports on the north shore of Lake Ontario.”15 In 1844 the largest exports, by volume, were wheat, flour and lumber. A commercial centre developed around the intersections of Dundas and Andersons Streets and Kingston Road in an area originally known as Crawford’s Corners, then Hamer’s Corners, later Windsor East and then Whitby.16
Between 1854 and 1856 a railway was constructed by the Grand Trunk Railway Company across the south part of the Township forming part of the rail line between Toronto and Montreal. Service was initiated in 1856 with a railway station constructed in the town of Whitby at Victoria and South Blair Street. The coming of this railway had an adverse impact on the Port of Whitby.
Although the coming of the Grand Trunk railway was greeted with much rejoicing in 1856, it spelled the end for Whitby harbour as a major shipping centre. In 1853, Whitby’s harbour had been second to Toronto in the amount of shipping it handled on the north shore of Lake Ontario. The railway took much of the business from the harbour as trains were faster than sailing ships and did not have to depend on wind to travel.. Also trains could run in the winter when the habour was blocked with ice. 17
In 1868 a charter was granted to a group of Whitby businessmen for a railway from Port Whitby north to Port Perry. The need for a railway was partly in response to local concerns that railways from Toronto and Port Hope would capture Port Whitby’s hinterland and divert trade to those ports. After obtaining financial bonuses from most municipalities along its route, construction started in 1868 but was soon halted as the contractor was not paid. A new contractor, hired in 1869, managed to swindle the railway company of much of its finances while performing little work. A third contractor, who completed a substantial amount of work on the railway in 1871,

ceased work due to non-payment. The railway company completed construction under its own supervision, although to save money, a narrow gauge was used in place of a broad gauge railway, restricting the ability to move rail cars from this railway to other connecting railways. Service on the Port to Port railway began in June 1872. In an accounting of construction costs, almost two thirds of the money spent had been lost to fraud and mismanagement. The railway, renamed the Whitby, Port Perry and Lindsay Railway Company, was extended to Lindsay and, in 1881, amalgated with other local lines to form the Midland Railway system. In 1893 this system became part of the Grand Trunk Railway, which became the Canadian National Railway in 1922.18 The Port to Port Railway was abondoned and the tracks torn up in 1941.
Figure No. 5.2 Brooklin Railway Station of the Port to Port Railway, 1906 [Source: Whitby Archives]
In the 1870s, Ontario farmers turned to higher cost cash crops and animal husbandry. The Whitby Township map in the Illustrated Historical Atlas depicts many established farmsteads. By the late 19th century agriculture in the township consisted of mixed crop, livestock and dairy farming. In addition, there were limited industrial, commercial and service operations in Whitby and Brooklin.

In 1884 the Ontario and Quebec railway was built through Whitby Township. This railway become part of the Canadian Pacific Railway system which had the effect of creating a second transcontinental railway through the Township.
In 1910 a third transcontinential railway, the Canadian Northern Railway, was constructed across the middle of the Township, just south of the Lake Iroquois shoreline at the south limit of the Study Area. Figure 5.3 shows construction of the rail bridge across the Lynde Creek. The railway became part of the Canadian National Railway in 1922 and the tracks were torn up in 1937.
The growth of the automotive industry in Oshawa in the 20th century stimulated both residential and industrial growth in the Town of Whitby, although the Township remained largely rural. Serivces, such as the mental health facility and the Trafalgar ladies college, together with the development of the county, later regional, administration and courts, stimulated growth in the Town. Another rail project to link the growth of Whitby to Toronto and Oshawa was attempted through the construction of a commuter electric rail line, the Toronto and Eastern Railway, which was started 1913, resumed in 1923 and was abandoned in 1927.19
Public highway construction in the 20th century facilitated growth in the area.
The DPHO [Department of Public Highways of Ontario] annual reports note that the Brampton to Brooklin section of the highway [Highway 7], which included Winchester Road West from the Pickering Township townline to Brooklin, was assumed in July 1927. Highway 7 was paved between Green River and Brougham in 1932, and three years later between Brougham and Brooklin.

Construction of the future Highway 401 through the southern portion of Whitby Township was started in the late 1930s under the Department of public Highways as part of the Toronto-Oshawa Highway. The gravel road was completed in 1941 as far as Oshawa. In the late 1940s, the highway was paved.20
Figure 5.4 shows Highway 401 under construction in 1947 looking east from the Brock Street bridge.
Sometime prior to 1930, a high voltage electric transmission line was constructed across the south portion of the Study Area, while in 1956 a gas pipeline was constructed across the Study Area. Figure 5.5 shows both the electric transmission lines and construction of the gas pipelines west of Baldwin Street.
Development in the Town was further stimulated through the provision of GO train service in Figure No. 5.3 1988. Construction of Highway 401/2A, 1947 [Source: Whitby Archives]
5.1.2 Village of Brooklin
Figure No. 5.6 Brooklin – Mill Street (Cassels Road) looking east from Baldwin Street, 1878 [Source: Winters, 62.]
The village of Brooklin, founded in 1838-40, was originally known as Winchester. Smith’s Canadian Gazetteer describes Winchester in 1846 as:
20 Unterman, 92 – 93. Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 29 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario
A village in the township of Whitby, situated near the centre of the township, five miles north from the village of Windsor [Whitby]. The plank road to Skugog passes through it. It was commenced in 1840, and contains about 300 inhabitants.
Professions and Trades – One physician and surgeon, one grist mill, one ashery, one tannery, seven stores, three taverns, two wagon makers, three blacksmiths, three coppers, three tailors, three shoemakers, one cabinet maker. 21
In 1847, in order to gain a post office, the residents agreed to change the name of the community to Brooklin to avoid confusion with the Winchester post office near Ottawa.
By 1851, the community had grown as witnessed by W. H. Smith:
It contains a population of about five hundred and fifty, two grist mills with three run of stones each, one of which is built of brick , and another containing two run of stones. There is also a tannery, a woolen factory, foundry, ashery and brewery; two saleratus factories, and a soap and candle factory. The village also contains a circulating library. Lyons’s Creek, a small but tolerable mill steam, runs through the village,…22
Mitchell and Company added to the description of the village in 1866, noting three churches – Episcopal Methodist, Wesleyan Methodist and Presbyterian; a town hall, a common school, three flour mills, a pump factory, two hotels, two general stores, a woolen factory, a cabinet factory a tin and stove store, several tailoring establishments, two blacksmith and wagon shops, carpenters, etc., with a population of about 600.23
Generally, the village served the surrounding rural area, providing both facilities to process agricultural products and services to area residents.

In 1872, rail service was provided to Brooklin through the Port Whitby to Port Perry railway. The railway provided access to larger markets for local industries and easy movement by residents to other communities, although it did not stimulate the further expansion of the community. The arrival of the railway coincided with the apogee of the community’s population until the 1950s.24 In 1880 – 81 three buildings were destroyed by fire, an event which spurred some resident entrepreneurs to leave the community.
In the 1950s, the community experienced a substantial spurt of growth with the development of a 600 home subdivision to the west of the community.25 Lack of sewage and water services to the community prevented further development until the mid 1990s when new low density residential developments and associated commercial facilities and services were added around the community as additional sewer and water services were provided.
In September 2008, the Town designated the core of the community of Brooklin as a heritage conservation district following completion of a heritage conservation district study.

Figure 5.9 identifies the approximate location of heritage resources within the Brooklin built- up area. It includes the Brooklin Heritage Conservation District. Most of the heritage resources are clustered around the older settlement of Brooklin, although there are two outliers - 700 Winchester Road and the Pioneer Cemetery at 495 Columbus Road East. These latter two properties are described in detail in Appendix D as they are also adjacent to the Study Area.

6.0 SUMMARY DESCRIPTIONS OF BUILT AND LANDSCAPE RESOURCES
Following the methodology discussed in Chapter 4, heritage resources within and adjacent to the Study Area were identified. Each resource, which is described in detail in Appendix D, is identified as a ‘Built Heritage Resource’ or a ‘Cultural Heritage Landscape’. The definition of the two types of resources is contained in the Provincial Policy Statement issued under the Planning Act discussed in section 2.1 of this report. A Cultural Heritage Landscape may contain one or more Built Heritage Resource.
In the following summary description, the resources have been grouped by geographic section of the study – north-east, north-west, west, south-west and south-east.
Before providing a description of the heritage resources within and adjacent to the Study Area, properties that were previously identified as having potential heritage resources but now determined not to have significant cultural heritage resources are identified, as are properties that are worthy of immediate designation under the Ontario Heritage Act.
6.1 Identified Properties not having Significant Heritage Resources
Six properties listed in the Town of Whitby Heritage Register were examined in detail as part of this survey and found not to have significant cultural heritage value. These six properties, listed in Table 6.1, should be removed from the Register.
Table 6.1 Properties that should be removed from the Whitby Heritage Register No. Street No. Street Name Reason 1 5550 Baldwin St South Built resources demolished by the construction of Highway 407 2 5675 Thickson Rd North Built resources demolished by the construction of Highway 407 3 5945 Garrard Road Built resources demolished by the construction of Highway 407 4 625 Columbus Rd West Built resources do not have cultural heritage value –Appendix D 5 840 Columbus Rd West Built resources do not have cultural heritage value –Appendix D 6 8205 Baldwin St North Built heritage resources have been demolished
The first three properties are within the construction path for Highway 407. The heritage resources on those three properties have been removed through demolition.
The fourth property, 625 Columbus Road West, which is documented in Appendix D, was included in the Register for its design or physical value. This property contains a building which has been so extensively altered on the exterior that any heritage attributes that may have existed are no longer present. The building does not have design or physical value.
Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 34 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario
The fifth property, 840 Columbus Road West is also documented in Appendix D. No reason was identified for including it in the Town’s Heritage Register. The photograph in the Register for this property is of a barn that is located across the street at 835 Columbus Road West. The barn which once existed on this property was demolished many years ago. There is only a shed and a house on the property, neither of which have design or physical value.
The sixth property, 8205 Baldwin Street North, is adjacent to the north boundary of the Study Area. It was included in the Register for its design or physical value. The photograph in the Register for this property is of a barn that has been demolished. There is only a shed left on the property. The shed and associated landscape have no design or physical value which would warrant conservation of the property under the Ontario Heritage Act.
In addition to the properties that are currently on the municipal heritage register, but should be removed, a property identified by the Whitby municipal heritage committee, 7590 Garrard Road (Figure 6.1), was examined both on the exterior and the interior. This building does not have sufficient design or physical, historical or associative or contextual value to warrant conservation under the Ontario Heritage Act. As discussed in Appendix D, listing or designation of this property is not recommended.
Figure No. 6.1 7590 Garrard Road, House West and South Elevations
6.2 Identified Properties which should be Designated
During this survey of cultural heritage resources, three properties stood out as having outstanding design or physical values warranting conservation under the Act. These properties are listed in Table 6.2 and described below and in detail in Appendix D.

A Brief History -
All 200 acres of Lot 30 Concession 6 were patented in 1831 by the Canada Company.26
The London (England)-based Canada Company established in 1825, was granted large tracts of land (approximately 2.5 million acres) [primarily] in southwestern Ontario (much of which comprised the Huron Tract) during the 1800s which it then leased or sold for settlement. The principle aim of this company was to obtain land in Canada and to promote its sale to prospective settlers.27
26 Land Records, York Region, Lot 27, Concession 8 Vaughan Township, Patent. 27 Ontario Archives website Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 36 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario
Although Walton’s 1837 Directory does not list a resident on Lot 30, Concession 6, it is possible that the Canada Company may have leased the land to John Campbell. The 1837 Directory lists Campbell as occupying Lot 31, Concession 6 while Brown’s 1846 Directory lists Hiram Campbell as occupying Lot 30. The Canada Company sold the subject lands to John Campbell in 1846 (Appendix H - Registry Records). However it appears that Campbell leased the lands for the 1848 Whitby Assessment Roll (Appendix H) lists William Rae as resident on the north quarter of Lot 30 and the north half of Lot 31. No house was listed on the subject lands in 1848.
The 1851 population Census lists both Hiram Campbell, blacksmith aged 30, and John Campbell, merchant aged 56, each living with their families in frame, one storey houses, not the house shown in Figure 6.2. Since the 1851 Census of Agriculture has not survived for this area, it is not confirmed that they were living on the subject property. By 1852 Hiram was farming the subject lands and other lands, although he may not have been residing on the subject lands based on the assignment of the assessed value of Hiram’s personal property to other lands.
Tremaine’s 1860 property owners map (Appendix B) shows Hiram Campbell owning the subject property and lands to west on the west side of Country Lane. No house is shown in Tremaine’s map, although he was inconsistent in identification of houses existing at that time.
The 1861 Canadian Census of Agriculture shows Hiram Campbell farming 150 acres in Lot 30 Concession 6. Campbell appears to have been a modest commercial farmer at that time for of the 150 acres, 120 were under cultivation, the cash value of the farm was listed at $12,000 and farm implements at $400; 27 acres were devoted to growing wheat and the value of livestock was $700 and horses $300. The corresponding 1861 Population Census (Appendix H Table 4) shows Campbell living in a brick house, quite likely the House shown in Figure 6.2. The 1866 Assessment Roll shows that Hiram was serviced at Lot 30, although he owned other Township lands.
The Campbell family retained the property until 1870 when they sold the north 1/3 to William Green who appears to have leased this property to others based on selected extracts from the Whitby Assessment/Collector Rolls.
The 1877 map from the County Atlas (Appendix B) shows a house on the subject property in the location of the house shown in Figure 6.2 and that the property was owned by W. Green. The property is shown in 1895 as owned by Mrs. May Green (Appendix B)
In 1906 the Greens sold the farm to Thomas Porter who is shown in 1917 as the owner of the subject property, together with other lands to the west (Appendix B). Porter appears to have leased the farm to others based on the 1923 Assessment Roll.
The House shown in Figure 6.2 appears in the 1927 aerial photograph (Appendix D – 835 Columbus Road West) largely as it currently exists, except for a different east wing attached

Heritage Values -
The House at 835 Columbus Road West, built circa 1855 based on documentary evidence and architectural style, has a high level of design or physical value as a well preserved example of its building style. It has a high level of heritage integrity. Even though a modern addition has been added to the tail wing, the addition is sympathetic. The farm lane, gates and landscape surrounding the House have historical association with the House. The barn, although constructed much later than the House, may have cultural heritage value. The buildings may also have historical or associative value with the Campbell family, early area pioneers.
5360 Thickson Road North
Figure No. 6.4 5360 Thickson Road North, House North and West Elevations
A Brief History –
As with the above property, the patent for the 100 acres in the south half of Lot 21 Concession 5 (5360 Thickson Road North) was granted to the Canada Company in 1831. Five years later the Company sold the south half of Lot 21 to John Black (Appendix H – Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 38 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario
Registry Records). Walton’s 1837 Directory lists John Black as resident on Lot 21 although in 1836 Black sold the subject property to William Ker (aka Kerr) (Appendix H). Brown’s 1846 Directory does not list anyone residing on Lot 21, but lists William Kerr living on Lot 10 Concession 2. As of 1848, no house was listed on the subject lands (Appendix H – Assessment Roll), although William Kerr also owned 45 acres in Lot 20 Concession 5.
The 1851 Census of population shows William Kerr, farmer aged 62, living with his wife and five children, including William (aged 11) and John (8), in a one storey log dwelling, not the house shown in Figure 6.4. Since the 1851 Census of Agriculture has not survived for this area, it is not confirmed that Kerr was living on the subject property, although given the other sources of information, it is likely that this entry is for this property. The 1852 Tax Collector Roll shows substantial jump in the assessed value of Kerr’s property suggesting the possible construction of a new house. It is assumed that an error was made in the 1852 Assessment Roll for Lot 21 is not listed in association with Kerr even though he owned it.
Tremaine’s map of property owners in 1860 (Appendix B) shows William Kerr owning the subject property and lands to east on the east side of Thickson Road. No house is shown in Tremaine’s map, although he was inconsistent in identification of houses existing at that time.
The 1861 Canadian Census of Agriculture shows William Kerr farming 175 acres in Lots 20 and 21, Concession 5. Campbell appears to have been a modestly successful commercial farmer at that time. On his 175 acre farm, 134 were under cultivation, the cash value of the farm was listed at $15,000 and farm implements as $400; 30 acres were devoted to the production of wheat and the value of livestock was $500 and horses $450. The corresponding 1861 Population Census (Appendix H Table 7) shows Kerr was living in a stone 1 ½ storey house, probably the House shown in Figure 6.3.
According to the 1866 Assessment Rolls (Appendix H), Kerr’s sons, William and John, were farming his lands; son William resided on the subject property while son John farmed the lands on the east side of Thickson Road.
The 1877 map from the County Atlas (Appendix B) shows the property was owned by W. Kerr and a house on the subject property in the location of the house shown in Figure 6.4.
The property is shown in 1895 as owned by Wm. Kerr (Appendix B)
The property was retained by the Kerr family until 1897 when a mortgage holder, the Ontario Loan and Saving Company, gained ownership of the property and served notice that it was selling it (Appendix H). In 1902, William Blight purchased the subject property and retained it until 1914 when he sold it to William Henry Kingston. Kingston is shown in 1917 as the owner of the subject property, together with other lands to the east (Appendix B)
In 1919 Kingston sold the property to George and Annie Hunter (Appendix H). The Hunter family continued to own the property well into the twentieth century for son Gordon Hunter acquired it in 1950.

Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 39 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario
The House shown in Figure 6.4 appears in the 1927 aerial photograph (Appendix D – 5360 Thickson Road North) largely as it currently exists, except that the tail wing appears to have been extended sometime after 1960. No other historic photos of the house could be found.
Heritage Values –
The House at 5360 Thickson Road North, which was constructed circa 1851, has a high level of design or physical value as a well preserved and well crafted stone example of its building style. It has a high level of heritage integrity. The relatively recent rear addition does not detract from the cultural heritage value of the building. The farm buildings, including the barn, may have cultural heritage value. The property has historical or associative value, being associated with the Kerr family, early pioneers in this part of the Town of Whitby.
330 Winchester Road West
Figure No. 6.5 330 Winchester Road West, House South or Principal Elevation
A Brief History –
The patent for all 200 acres in the Lot 27, Concession 6 (330 Winchester Road West) was granted to the David Stafford in 1846 (Appendix H). Given the relatively late date for the patent to be issued, it is possible that the land had been retained as a Crown Reserve with the Crown leasing the land. Walton’s 1837 Directory lists Jacob Way and Peter Vanalstine as residents on Lot 27, while David Stafford was listed on Lot 35 Concession 2. Brown’s 1846 Directory shows David Stafford as resident on the subject property, Lot 27 Concession 6. In 1851 David Stafford sold Lot 27 Concession 6 to James Thomson (aka Thompson) (Appendix H). The 1851 Population Census, which was taken in 1852, shows James Thompson, farmer aged 37, living with his wife, three children, brother William (aged 20) in a frame 1 ½ storey dwelling, not the house shown in Figure 6.5 unless the building has been reclad in brick. Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 40 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario
Although the 1851 Census of Agriculture has not survived for this area of Whitby and the location of James cannot be confirmed from the 1851 Population Census, this entry is likely for the subject property, given 1861 Census information. In 1858 James Thomson sold the north part of Lot 27 to Nathan Arnold. Part of this land was subsequently reacquired by the Thompsons in 1928 from Francis Bradley, a later owner of the north part of the Lot (Appendix H – Registry Records). Tremaine’s 1860 property owners map (Appendix B) shows Thompson owning the subject property and lands immediately to the west in Lot 28. No house is shown on the subject property on this map, although Tremaine was inconsistent in illustrating houses existing at that time. The 1861 Canadian Census of Agriculture shows James Thompson farming 184 acres in Lot 27, Concession 6. Thompson appears to have been a modestly successful commercial farmer at that time for of the 184 acres, 150 were under cultivation, the cash value of the farm was listed at $11,040 and farm implements as $544; 36 acres were devoted to the production of wheat and the value of livestock was $1602 and horses $560. The corresponding 1861 Population Census (Appendix H Table 7) shows Thompson living in a frame 1 ½ storey house, not necessarily the House shown in Figure 6.5, unless, as suggested above, it has been reclad in brick.
The 1877 County Atlas map (Appendix B) shows the property owned by Jas. Thompson and a house on the subject property in the location of the house shown in Figure 6.5.
Based on Assessment Roll information (Appendix H), sometime in the 1890s, the Thompsons leased the farm to others. It is possible that the time when the farm was leased an additional residence was constructed on the property. In 1895 William Fowlie leased the farm. By 1917 (Appendix B), the Hall family was the farm tenant, later confirmed by the Assessment Roll (Appendix H). The Thompson family continued to own the farm into the 1950s.
The House shown in Figure 6.5 appears in the 1927 aerial photograph (Appendix D – 330 Winchester Road West and Figure 6.7) largely as it currently exists. The second house, facing Ashburn Road, also appears in this photograph. A 1931 photo of the property shows the house as it currently exists.
Heritage Values -
The South House at 330 Winchester Road West, constructed circa 1850, has a high level of design or physical value as a well preserved example of its building style that, on the exterior, retains much of its original building fabric and heritage attributes despite having been clad in a red brick veneer late in the nineteenth century. The House has historical/associative value being associated with the Thompson family, early pioneers in this area of Whitby. The House is part of a complex of farm buildings, which include a second residence, some of which may have cultural heritage value as a cultural heritage landscape.

6.3 Linear Landscape Cultural Heritage Features
6.3.1 Railways
Although several rail lines traversed the Study Area, the historical review identified the importance of the Port Whitby to Port Perry railway in the area’s development (Section 5.1.1). This local rail initiative attempted to capture Whitby’s hinterland by providing rail service from Whitby to Port Perry and then Lindsay. The railway created a landscape feature that, although the tracks have been torn up, continues to exist in parts of the Study Area. South of Winchester Road, the rail alignment is parallel and adjacent to St. Thomas Street.

Figure No. 6.6 The Port to Port Rail Alignment 1951 and 2005
Because of its historical association, the Port to Port railway should be commemorated and consideration should be given to using parts of the rail alignment as a trail.

Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 42 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario
The other rail lines that crossed the Study Area do not have the same historical association and are not recommended for commemoration.
6.3.2 Roads
Rights-of way for a public road network were first laid out with the land survey of the Study Area beginning in 1795, Initially the rights-of-way would have been cleared and dirt roads created by adjacent land owners. Some rights-of-way were eventually fenced using locally sourced materials such as trees stumps and split cedar rails as the cultivation of fields progressed and livestock became more prevalent.
Municipalities took on the responsibility of road development and maintenance towards the latter part of the 19th century. This often resulted in changes to the right-of-way profile from gravelling, construction of drainage ditches and, where necessary, raising the road bed. Beginning in the 1870s, wire fencing started to replace earlier forms of fencing. In addition, plantings along road sides became a feature of the road landscapes.28 Figure 5.1 shows the character one of the road rights-of-way with the Study Area at the start of the 20th century while Figure 6.7 shows several of the tree lined roads in the Area in 1931. With the arrival of Dutch elm disease, many of the American elms that lined the roads were decimated.

Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 43 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario
At first all road rights-of –way had equal value to the community. However, two Study Area roads developed a greater importance – the Whitby and Scugog Road (now Baldwin Street), opened in 1848 utilizing, in part, existing road rights-of-way; and Winchester Road which provided access through Pickering and Markham Townships to Yonge Street. The Whitby and Scugog Road, which was a private toll road from 1852 to 1876, became Highway 12 in 1922 while Winchester Road west of Brooklin became part of Highway 7.29
The results of the evaluation of roads within the Study Area are contained in Appendix G and are summarized in section 6.4 in Tables 6.3 to 6.7 and in Figures 6.6 to 6.12
Nine road segments were identified as having potential cultural heritage value. As mentioned earlier, all of these road segments have historical or associative value, being part of the original survey of the area. In addition, the road segments have design value reflecting the rural character of roads in the area from the 1940s or earlier. In addition, a number of the road segments with cultural heritage value are adjacent to cultural heritage resources identified elsewhere in this study.
Road rights-of-way not considered to have potential cultural heritage value include those:
- that have been modernized through means such as widening and/or the creation of an urban profile which include paved shoulders, enclosed drainage ditches with catch basins, sidewalks, curbs and the removal of plantings within or adjacent to the right-of-way; - that are traversed by a high voltage transmission corridor, which detracts from their heritage value; and - that have taken on a ‘suburban’ character with numerous driveways and a landscaping atypical of the rural area.

7.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Town of Whitby is undertaking a comprehensive study, called the Brooklin Study, to prepare plans to enable the Town to guide and manage growth in the Brooklin area. Stage 1 involves the preparation of a number of background studies to inform the secondary plan and potential land uses. The Brooklin Landowners Group is working collaboratively with the Town of Whitby in preparing some of the background studies for Stage 1. This cultural heritage resource survey was commissioned to identify such resources in a Study Area that forms a horseshoe around the existing development area of Brooklin. The Study Area encompasses roughly 5100 acres. In addition, this study reviewed existing and proposed heritage policies in the Whitby Official Plan. Policies and resources were reviewed with the context of the Provincial Policy Statement issued under the Planning Act. For this reason, heritage resources adjacent to the Study Area were also identified.
7.1 Conclusions
Until this study, a comprehensive survey of cultural heritage resources has never been undertaken in the Study Area. This study found that, in addition to the linear cultural heritage feature of the former Port to Port Railway; there were;
- 35 properties containing cultural heritage resources within and adjacent to the Study Area; of which: o 28 were within the Study Area, o 7 adjacent to the Study Area.
Of the 28 properties containing cultural heritage resources within the Study Area:
o 3 have been designated by the municipality under the Ontario Heritage Act; o 10 are listed in the Whitby Heritage Register as per subsection 27.1 of the Ontario Heritage Act; o 3 are identified as of interest to the Whitby municipal heritage committee; and o 12 are identified by this survey.
Of the 28 properties within the Study Area:
o 15 are Cultural Heritage Landscapes, which may include one or more Built Heritage Resources (BHR) and the landscape immediately around the BHRs; o 12 are Built Heritage Resources alone; and o 1 had only historical association
The last one, 145 Winchester Road West, has historical association with several events but contains no Built Heritage Resources or Cultural Heritage Landscapes.

Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 54 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario
Of the 25 properties containing cultural heritage resources within the Study Area that are not designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, three are considered to have sufficient merit to warrant immediate designation by the municipality.
In reviewing the current municipal lists of heritage properties within and adjacent to the Study Area, seven properties were identified that do not meet the criteria for designation under the Act of which six should be removed from the Whitby Heritage Register and one, 7590 Garrard Road, should not be included in the Register nor designated under the Act.
This study examined linear cultural heritage features – roads and railways. The Port to Port Railway was identified as being important to the community. Roads within the Study Area were examined in detail and nine road segments were determined to have potential cultural heritage value.
A review of current and proposed heritage policies in the Whitby Official Plan indicates that the policies are reasonably comprehensive, particularly the proposed policies, except in terms of defining and applying heritage impact assessments. Three policies regarding heritage impact assessments are recommended for inclusion in either the Greater Brooklin Secondary Plan or the Town’s new Official Plan.
The effect of the recommended heritage impact assessment policies for property owners in the Study Area is that when a planning application is made involving a property that includes or is adjacent to a cultural heritage resource identified in this Survey, a heritage impact assessment must be prepared that documents the cultural heritage resources and values of the property, examines the impact of the proposed development on those resources and recommends appropriate mitigation measures. The identification of a property as having potential cultural heritage values in this Survey means that the heritage impact assessment must determine, after a more detailed study of the property than undertaken in this Survey, whether those potential heritage values are sufficient to warrant conservation of those heritage resources and values on the property.
For those properties in the Study Area that are designated or recommended for designation under the Ontario Heritage Act, the heritage resources should be appropriately conserved in the development of the property.
For those properties within or adjacent to the Study Area that have potential cultural heritage value and are not currently included in the Municipal Heritage Register, it is recommended that the Town work with the respective property owners to list the property in the Whitby Heritage Register to ensure that the heritage resources on the property are retained pending an adequate assessment of the resources.
10.2 Recommendations
Based on the findings of this survey, the following recommendations are made:
Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 55 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario
Remove Properties not worthy of Heritage Conservation – Six properties were identified in this Survey that are listed on the Whitby Heritage Register that no longer meet the criteria for conservation under the Ontario Heritage Act. They should be removed from the Register.
Recommendation – Remove six properties not worthy of heritage conservation from the Heritage Register:
1. Remove the six properties identified in Table 6.1 from the Whitby Heritage Register.
Designate Properties with Outstanding Cultural Heritage Values – In conducting this Survey, three properties were identified as having outstanding cultural heritage values – they each contained a heritage resource that had obvious merit for conservation under the Ontario Heritage Act as well preserved and relatively early Whitby examples of their building style. These three properties should be designated. A small parcel of land around each of the houses identified on the three properties should be designated under the Act.
Recommendation – Designate three properties that have outstanding cultural heritage values:
2. Designate a small parcel of land around each of the houses on the three properties identified in Table 6.2 under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.
Commemorate the Port to Port Railway – In an examination of the historic development of the Study Area, the Port Whitby to Port Perry Railway was identified as an important local initiative that sought to secure Whitby’s economic hinterland in the 19th century. Although the railway ceased operation and the tracks were torn up in 1941, the alignment of the railway is still visible in parts of the Study Area. This cultural landscape resource should be commemorated through means such as plaquing and the possible development of parts of the alignment as a trail.
Recommendation – Commemorate the Port to Port Railway:
3. Commemorate the Port Whitby to Port Perry Railway through means acceptable to the Town such as plaquing and use of the parts of the former railway right-of-way as a trail.
Consider the conservation of road segments with potential cultural heritage value in the development of the Study Area – A detailed examination of road segments for potential Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 56 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario cultural heritage value identified nine segments that continue to exhibit characteristics of the rural development of the area. These segments should be considered in the development of the area and where possible conserved. This should include the unassumed portion of Brawley Road east of Thickson Road and the section of Garrard Road north of Columbus Road East together with Columbus Road East, east from the cemetery at 495 Columbus Road East. Where it is not possible to conserve road segments with potential cultural heritage value, the loss of those values should be mitigated through appropriate road design.
Recommendation – Conserve road segments with cultural heritage value; where conservation is not possible mitigate the loss of their heritage value:
4. Where possible conserve road segments with potential cultural heritage value; where such road segments cannot be conserved, mitigate the loss of their cultural heritage value through appropriate road design and construction.
Work with Property Owners to include unlisted heritage properties in the Heritage Register – In conducting this survey, fourteen properties were identified within and adjacent to the Study Area as having potential cultural heritage value but not included in the Whitby Heritage Register. Of the fourteen properties, three are included in a list of interest by the Whitby Municipal Heritage Committee (also known as LACAC). In order to ensure that the heritage resources on these properties are retained until their future is given appropriate consideration through a heritage impact assessment, the municipality should work with the property owners to include the properties in the Heritage Register. Such properties are identified in Tables 6.3 to 6.7 inclusive under the column titled ‘Current Heritage Status’ as either “None – identified in this survey” or “None – of interest to heritage committee”.
Recommendation – Work with property owners to include unlisted heritage properties in the Heritage Register
5. Work with property owners to include properties not in the Whitby Heritage Register listed in Tables 6.3 to 6.7 in the Register.
Prepare Heritage Impact Assessments for properties with or adjacent to properties with heritage resources when submitting a planning application on the property – When submitting a planning application on a property in the Study Area, the applicant must submit a heritage impact assessment when the property is identified in Tables 6.3 to 6.7 in this survey as having heritage resources or potential heritage resources. A heritage impact assessment must also be submitted for development proposed on properties adjacent to such heritage properties. The heritage impact assessment should, after detailed study, identify the cultural heritage values of the property and/or the adjacent property, assess the impacts of the
Wayne Morgan December 2014 Heritage Planner
Cultural Heritage Resource Survey Page 57 Brooklin Secondary Plan Area Town of Whitby, Ontario proposed development on those values and recommend appropriate mitigation measures. The content of such assessment is defined in section 3.6.3 of this Survey.
Recommendation – Submit a Heritage Impact Assessment when submitting a planning application on a property in the Study Area containing or adjacent to a heritage resource:
6. A Heritage Impact Assessment must be submitted with a planning application of a property containing or adjacent to a property containing a heritage resource or a potential heritage resource identified in Tables 6.3 to 6.7 of this Survey.
Define the scope and time when a heritage impact assessment must be submitted – The proposed Whitby Official Plan policies includes a policy for heritage impact assessments, but does not define the term, and indicates that such assessment may be required when development or redevelopment is proposed, but does not define those terms. In addition, it restricts the requirement for such assessment to designated cultural heritage resources. As many of the heritage resources in the Town are not designated, this could result in their loss without appropriate consideration being given to whether they should be conserved. It is recommended that the terms heritage impact assessment and development be defined and that such assessments be required for all identified heritage or potential heritage resources. These policies should be in either the Whitby Official Plan or the Brooklin Secondary Plan.
Recommendation – include policies for heritage impact assessments in the Whitby Official Plan or the Brooklin Secondary Plan.
7. Either the Whitby Official Plan or the Brooklin Secondary Plan should contain the recommended policies for heritage impact assessments contained in section 3.6.3 of this report.
