Completed in 1953, the Salem Bridge comprises a steel through (half) pony truss structure described as a Warren truss with verticals. It is located on Woolwich Street West (WR 18) in the community of Salem about 0.10 km east of WR 7 (Figure 1). The site survey was undertaken in August 2017. A bridge inspection in 2015 found the Salem Bridge to be in an advanced state of deterioration. A Municipal Heritage Bridges Cultural, Heritage and Archaeological Resources Assessment Checklist (Revised April 11, 2014) was completed in February 2016. The County of Wellington has commenced a Class Environmental Assessment Study (Class EA) for the Salem Bridge, which is being conducted as a Schedule “B” project in accordance with a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA), Municipal Engineers Association (June 2000, amended 2007, 2011 and 2015) to address, confirm and document existing structural deficiencies of the subject bridge and identify alternative solutions including rehabilitation or replacement of the bridge. Figure 1. The Salem Bridge, Site No. B18050, is located on Woolwich Street West (WR 18) in Salem, Township of Centre Wellington, County of Wellington, Ontario.

The site was evaluated using the criteria set out under Ontario Regulation 9/06, which was developed for the purpose of identifying and evaluating the cultural heritage value or interest of a property proposed for protection under Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA). Ontario Regulation 9/06 describes the three criteria as design value or physical value, historical value or associative value, and contextual value. Appendix A contains a copy of the Municipal Engineers Association’s (MEA) Municipal Heritage Bridges, Cultural, Heritage and Archaeological Resources Assessment Checklist (April 11, 2014) completed for the MCEA process for the subject bridge. Historical maps, photographs and a drawing are included in Appendix B. Appendix C contains a bridge survey form with current photographs of the bridge and it’s setting. Appendix D includes a list of comparative bridge structures in the County of Wellington as of 2015. Appendix E provides a list of projects attributed to William. H. Keith, Engineer for the County of Wellington. The Salem Bridge is oriented in a southwest to northeast direction. For the purposes of this CHER, the structure direction will be referred to as being oriented from east to west to correspond to the description used in the bridge inspection report. 1.2 Public Interest and Heritage Recognition Municipal The Township of Centre Wellington was contacted. It indicated the Salem Bridge is not included on the Township Heritage Register as a registered heritage property and it is not a municipally designated property under Part IV or Part V of the OHA. The bridge is not the subject of a municipal heritage easement. There are municipally recognized heritage resources on all four corners of the Salem Bridge that are included on the Township of Centre Wellington Register, namely: o 16 Woolwich West located on the southeast corner of the bridge containing the former Salem (Wissler) Mill, a two storey stone gristmill building dating from 1852-53; o 20 Woolwich Street West, a two storey stone residence built in 1870 on the southwest corner; o 25 Woolwich Street West, a one and-a-half storey stone residence built in 1850 on the northwest corner; and o 480 Washington Street that includes a two storey brick building built as a hotel, on the northeast corner.

  • History of Erin Township
    History of Erin Township History of Erin Township Name Erin Township is said to have been so named by the surveyors, because it was surveyed immediately after the Townships of Albion and Caledon. Albion suggested England, Caledon suggested Scotland, and it was thought fitting that the third should suggest Ireland; so they called it Erin, the poetic name for Ireland. Survey The survey of the Southern part of Erin Township started in 1819, by Deputy Surveyor Charles Kennedy of Esquesing Township, and Donald Black of Eramosa Twp. Starting at the east side, they continued across to the Eramosa boundary, as far as 17 sideroad, leaving a gore at the Eramosa side. In 1820, the northern part of the township was surveyed. The 1906 Atlas names O'Reilly as one of the surveyors, but the History of Erin Township in 1967, states that Donald Black and John Burt continued the survey above 17 sideroad. But instead of beginning at the Caledon side, they started at the Eramosa side, ending up with a gore along the Caledon boundary. This accounts for the jog in the lines at 17 sideroad. J.W. Burt had the instruments used by his father and Mr. Kennedy in the survey, and in 1956, Goldwin Burt presented these instruments to Wellington County Museum at Elora. When the surveyors finished their arduous work, they were offered land in the newly-surveyed Township as their pay, or part of it; but not being favourably impressed with the wilderness, they refused to accept it. Mr. Kennedy was offered 1,000 acres, beginning at lot 14, on each side of the 9th line, to lot 17 inclusive; but in his refusal, he reported the land to be of little value.

  • TOWNSHIP of CENTRE WELLINGTON COMPREHENSIVE ZONING BY-LAW No
    TOWNSHIP OF CENTRE WELLINGTON COMPREHENSIVE ZONING BY-LAW No. 2009-045 OFFICE CONSOLIDATION – February, 2018 This composite edition of By-Law No. 2009-045 is prepared for purposes of convenience only, and for accurate reference recourse should be had to the original and amending by- laws. TOWNSHIP OF CENTRE WELLINGTON COMPREHENSIVE ZONING BY-LAW (February, 2018) PREAMBLE These pages explain the purpose of this Zoning By-law and how it should be used. These pages do not form part of the Zoning By-law passed by Council and are intended only to make the Zoning By-law more understandable and easier to use. A zoning by-law controls the use of land in your community. It states exactly: how land may be used where buildings and other structures can be located the types of buildings that are permitted and how they may be used the lot sizes and dimensions, parking requirements, building heights and setbacks from the street. An official plan sets out your municipality's general policies for future land use. Zoning by- laws put the plan into effect and provide for its day-to-day administration. They contain specific requirements that are legally enforceable. Construction or new development must comply with a zoning by-law; where it does not, the municipality will refuse to issue a building permit. Section 34 of Ontario’s Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13, as amended (the “Planning Act”) grants the statutory authority to municipalities to zone lands. The main purpose of a zoning by-law is to set out the permitted uses of lands and to regulate the erection of buildings or structures on a lot.
