Advising that the following report will be considered at the May 28, 2010 meeting of the Toronto Preservation Board:

a.         450 Pape Avenue – Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act (Ward 30 Toronto-Danforth).

The Toronto Preservation Board recommended to the Toronto and East York Community Council that:

1.         City Council amend under the heading “Heritage Attributes” in Attachment No. 3 of the report (March 2, 2010) from the Acting Director, Policy & Research, City Planning by deleting:

(a)         the words “(the west verandah has been enclosed in the first storey)” in Bullet No. 6; and

(b)         the following Bullet No. 9:

              “The two-storey rear (east) wing with brick cladding and a mansard roof with gabled dormers”.

2.                  City Council include the property at 407 Huron Street (Thomas Wilson House) on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties.

3.                   City Council state its intention to designate the property at 407 Huron Street (Thomas Wilson House) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

4.                   If there are no objections to the proposed designation in accordance with Section 29(6) of the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the Bills in Council designating the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 407 Huron Street (Thomas W. Wilson House) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.  In October 2009, the property owner applied for a residential demolition permit which has not been issued.

Following research and evaluation, staff have determined that the property merits inclusion on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties for its cultural heritage value.  Because the site is the subject of a demolition application, staff recommend that Council state its intention to designate the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act to protect the site’s cultural heritage values and attributes.
