Request to construct a new dwelling within the Old Port Credit

Village Heritage Conservation District, 57 Bay Street. (Ward 1)

RECOMMENDATION: That the request to construct a new dwelling at 57 Bay Street, as

described in the attached design plans, be approved, subj ect to the

requirements outlined in the report from the Commissioner of

Community Services, dated May 10,2011 and the appropriate City officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give

effect thereto.

BACKGROUND: In September 2009, staff recommended to the Heritage Advisory

Committee (HAC) that permission to demolish the subject property be

granted. At that time, HAC requested that a decision to demolish be

deferred to a later date until the property owner could produce designs

for the redevelopment of the site. HAC wanted to review the concept

plans for the new structure before approving the demolition of the old

one.

In March 2010, the property owner produced a design concept by

James Bailey Architects for the proposed new dwelling on this site.

Based on this concept, HAC approved demolition of the existing

building and indicated they would review the detailed designs for the infill at a future meeting. A Heritage Permit for demolition was issued

in May 2010. The house has yet to be demolished.


2-2

- 2 - May 10, 2011

COMMENTS:

The property owners retained Gren Weis Architect and Associates, to

produce detailed designs for this site (Appendix 1). These designs are now being presented for review as per HAC's March 2010 request.

The proposed design plans conform to the Design Guidelines for New Construction as per the Old Port Credit Village Heritage Conservation

Plan, including the elevations which are in keeping with the simple

and modest character of the area. However, contrary to Guideline 6.7 of the Conservation District Plan which states "The wall material you

choose should be the same across the wall, not a mix of materials. "

the proposed design shows the use of both wood siding and cedar

shingles along the second floor roofline. Heritage staff recommend changing the materials used for second floor gable area to either wood

siding or cedar shingles to retain consistency as per the 6.7 of the

District Plan.

Any new construction in Old Port Credit Village Heritage

Conservation District requires a heritage permit. As such, final plans

and elevations are subj ect to the review of the Heritage Advisory

Committee. Staff recommend that upon submission of a revised

design plan which demonstrates consistency of materials as required

by 6.7 of the District Plan, a heritage permit be issued for this request.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact.

CONCLUSION: The proposed design confirms with the guidelines for the

ATTACHMENTS:

Conservation District Plan, with the exception of the inconsistent

materials on the second floor. Upon submission of a revised design

plan which demonstrates consistency of materials as required by 6.7 of

the District Plan, staff recommend a heritage permit be issued for this

request.

SUBJECT: 2011 Designated Heritage Property Grants

RECOMMENDATION: That the Heritage Advisory Committee recommend to the Director of

Culture to approve the 2011 Designated Heritage Property Grant

applications as outlined in the report from the Commissioner of Community Services, dated May 10, 2011.

BACKGROUND: In May 2007 Council adopted By-law 0184-2007, as amended

February 25,2009, to provide grants to owners of heritage designated

properties. The program assists heritage designated property owners

with financial assistance from a minimum of $500 to a maximum of $5,000 in matching funds, and up to $10,000 for structural projects.

Properties must be designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, and the

work proposed must be a restoration or reconstruction of original

architectural elements. Applications must include a minimum of two

quotes.

The applications are reviewed to ensure they are complete and meet all

criteria. Eligible projects include:

• Conservation of existing architectural elements;

• Reconstruction of architectural elements that still exist but need

repmr;

• Restoration of architectural elements which have been lost but can

be replicated based on documentary evidence; and

• Repair and restoration of building elements required for structural

soundness

5-2


COMMENTS: Twenty (20) applications were submitted. Two were deemed

ineligible. A summary of the applications is attached as Appendix 1.

The summary reveals that the total amount requested is $115,000 against a budget of $75,000. As in past years, the eligible grants will

be prorated to 65% of the requested amount in order to be within the budgeted amount. Consequently, the allotted grants will be lower than

the maximum allowable.

Grant applicants will be notified of these results with any applicable

conditions. Work must be complete by the end of October 2011 so that

final inspections can be made shortly thereafter. Invoices are due by

Heritage Award for Lifetime Achievement Nominee: James Kellhammer

Lifetime Achievement Award Criteria (individuals only): • an individual who, for 20 to 24 years, has made exceptional contributions to built, cultural and/or

natural heritage conservation (refer to examples of activities above)

For over 35 years Jim and his wife, Renee, have lived in and raised their family in historic Erindale Village. Throughout his many years in Erindale, Jim has been an active volunteer in the community. He was one of the founding directors of the Erindale Village Association in 1979, and is a past president of this long-serving resident's association. Jim also served on the Board of Directors and was a Past Chairman of the Erindale Community Hall - the last independent and community-run community hall facility in the City of Mississauga. Strong supporters and advocates of heritage in Erindale, Jim worked tirelessly to have the City of Mississauga recognize Erindale Village in the form of "welcome" signs to denote its history - these signs were installed in 2002. Most recently, Jim chaired the Spire Restoration Committee for his church, Erindale Presbyterian Church (located in the heritage designated 1877 former Springfield Methodist Church in Erindale), to see the restoration of the spire on this

6-3

heritage landmark. Toiling for several years with planning, logistics, fundraising, etc., Jim was not daunted, and on November 24, 2010, the historic church received its new spire - it had been without a spire since circa 1923, when the original spire was struck by lightning. Fellow committee members and residents applauded and remarked that the project would not have succeeded without Jim's leadership and drive. Jim is also a great supporter of the work of Heritage Mississauga, a long time member of the organization, and a true believer of the grass-roots concept of heritage conservation, community leadership and preservation in practice.

Cultural Heritage Award Nominee: Terry Wilson

Cultural Heritage Award Criteria: • outstanding contributions as a volunteer with a historical society, museum or historic site • research or writing related to local history • voluntary teaching of local history or traditions • personal collections of local artifacts, heritage photographs or memorabilia that are shared with the

community • volunteer participation in activities or events that protect, preserve or promote First Nations,

Mitis, Franco-Ontarian heritage or others

Terry Wilson, in his very quiet and humble way, epitomizes community engagement, heritage advocacy, and civic mindedness. A retired high school teacher, Terry has been a resident of Meadowvale Village (within the City of Mississauga; Meadowvale Village became Ontario's first Heritage Conservation District in 1980) for over 40 years. He has served, in his own way, as the U eyes and ears" of the Village, and a quiet champion for heritage conservation and commemoration, including constructing rustic signage and building a miniature village in his own backyard, which he graciously opens to the public for events such as Doors Open. Terry has spent many years recreating a scaleddown version of his beloved Meadowvale Village, with furnished shed-sized structures, including a mill and schoolhouse. Terry is very involved in his community, as a dedicated and strong volunteer, through attendance at public meetings and as a member of the ratepayer's association, to portraying Santa Claus at Christmas for children in the Village. Terry was also very involved in several anniversary events for Meadowvale Village, including the 150th Anniversary of Meadowvale Village in 1986, the 25 Anniversary of the Meadowvale Village Heritage Conservation District in 2005, and the 175th Anniversary of Meadowvale Village in 2011. Terry is one of the strongest advocates for, and community representatives of, Meadowvale Village Heritage Conservation District, the first HCD to be established in Ontario.

Built Heritage Award Nominee: Fred Durdan

Built Heritage Award Criteria: (Photographs of structures must be provided) • leadership in the restoration and preservation of heritage structures (buildings, bridges, etc.)

6-4

• outstanding contributions as a volunteer member of a Municipal Heritage Committee or other organization dedicated to preserving heritage structures

• significant fundraising to support the restoration of a historic structure

Fred Durdan has been a long-serving and dedicated volunteer of the Museums of Mississauga for over 15 years. Fred first became involved with the Museums after learning about us through his volunteer work at Rotary which he joined in 1996. Fred has served as a member on the Bradley Advisory Board and later Museums of Mississauga Advisory Committee (MOMAC). He has been a volunteer of the Friends of the Museums executive since 2003 and Chair since 2009. During his time with the Museums he has made an outstanding contribution towards the preservation of two log homes; Port Credit Log Cabin and Leslie Log House. As a member of the Log Cabin Task Force, Fred worked tirelessly over the six years it took to plan, fundraise and implement the eventual move and restoration of the log cabin which opened in December 2007. This building has enhanced the Bradley Museum as it is utilized during special events and has programming which allows guiding and scouting groups to stay over night. Fred, with his years of experience on this project, was a natural to be invited to become a member of the Leslie Log House Task Force which formed in 2009. Leslie Log House, located in Streetsville, had sat unused for many years. With the aid of City funds and Investing in Ontario (lOA) provincial grants, the Leslie Log House is now fully accessible and will become the third site of the Museums of Mississauga as well as the home of the Streetsville Historical Society. The official opening of the site will be May 14th, 2011. Fred, as the Chair of the Friends of the Museums, has supported, encouraged and promoted many events of which the money raised has been used for expenditures related to both projects. Fred Durdan has made a significant contribution to the preservation of heritage structures in Mississauga as well as being a dedicated and outstanding volunteer.

Natural Heritage Award Nominee: Malton Community Garden Group

Natural Heritage Award Criteria: • demonstrated leadership in the protecting natural heritage (endangered species habitats, rare

Carolinian forests, wetlands, tall grass prairies, etc.) • significant natural heritage conservation activities by private landowners • outstanding contributions as a volunteer with a local natural heritage organization • significant volunteer work at a conservation authority/area or parkland

EcoSource has been working on the Malton Community Garden in partnership with the Multicultural Inter-Agency Group of Peel (MIAG) and the City of Mississauga. The Malton Community Garden was established on public parkland in an area identified by the City of Mississauga as high needs and is home to a very ethno-racially diverse community: 64 percent of the population is recent immigrants to Canada. Since the launch of the garden in June 2010, the Malton Community Garden Group members have been hard at work testing a variety of sustainable organic food growing techniques in conjunction with a naturalized garden area. Their initiatives include:

6-5

• planting a native plant garden to help attract local wildlife which assist with integrated pest management and pollinate the adjacent vegetables

• bio-intensive vegetable gardening which maximize yields and minimize water needs

• using soil building cover crops and mulches to preserve soil structure, health and fertility

• Heritage Bean Keeping (an initiative inspired by Evergreen) and seed saving

On Children's Gardening Day, participants took part in an educational "Pollinator Relay Race", built homes for solitary bee species at the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority's guest booth, and learned all about saving heritage seeds while harvesting beans from the Children's Bean Garden. This year the Malton Community Garden Group continues to grow and will participate in EcoSource's new Habitat Garden Project. They will work to develop a new habitat garden space while learning about gardening spaces with native plants, water conservation, garden insects and creating habitat spaces for wildlife. The work of this group has helped to bring back to life a significant component of Malton's natural heritage.

Municipal Heritage Committees Common Practices for Subcommittees

Submitted by Matthew Wilkinson Citizen Member, Mississauga Heritage Advisory Committee

Preface As a member and past chair of several subcommittees of the Mississauga Heritage Advisory Committee (HAC) over the past several terms, and knowing that our Strategic Planning Session for the Heritage Advisory Committee in 2009-10 did not focus on the subcommittees, I took it upon myself to research best practices from other municipalities. There is a wide range of subcommittees, both in terms of numbers and the roles of subcommittees, across the many contacted municipalities. A few MHC s had formal subcommittees with Terms of References for their structure; most MHCs had informal and! or ad hoc subcommittees; while several other MHC s did not have any subcommittees. What follows is a brief outline of "common practices", as well as some suggestions or recommendations for discussion regarding the appointment and function of our own subcommittees.

Connecting In addition to our own Mississauga Heritage Advisory Committee, I was able to consult with either Heritage Planning staff or Clerks staff with the following MHCs:

• Brampton Heritage Board, • Hamilton Municipal Heritage Committee, • Heritage Ajax Advisory Committee, • Heritage Burlington, • Heritage Caledon, • Heritage Halton Hills, • Heritage Milton, • Heritage Oakville Committee • Niagara-on--the-Lake Heritage Committee.

In addition, I spoke with Mark Warrack from the Ontario Heritage Trust (formerly Senior Heritage Coordinator with the City of Mississauga), and Bert Duclos from the Ministry of Culture.

Background / Mandate As listed in the Mississauga Heritage Advisory Committee Terms of Reference, the Mandate of HAC is: "The Mississauga Heritage Advisory Committee is an advisory committee of Council established by by-law, to make recommendations to the Council of the City of Mississauga on the identification, conservation and preservation of Mississauga's cultural heritage property, which includes the legal designation."

7-2

In regards to subcommittees, the HAC Terms of Reference state: "The Mississauga Heritage Advisory Committee may establish subcommittees from time to time to deal with specific issues. The subcommittees make recommendations to the Heritage Advisory Committee. All appointed members of the subcommittee have the right to vote. The Chair of the subcommittee will be appointed at the first meeting of the subcommittee."

In discussion with the MHCs and individuals listed above, Terms of References for individual subcommittees are also desirable, but that the mandate of any subcommittees MUST support and adhere to the mandate of the MHC.

Common Practices A wide variety of subcommittees have been established in connection with our neighbouring MHCs. However, there are some consistencies, even if some of the individual tasks aSSigned within subcommittees vary:

• Most MHCs have some form of public awareness/outreach/communications subcommittee that focus on awareness campaigns, newsletters, awards, events, communication, heritage plaques, etc.;

• Most MHCs either have a subcommittee (either formal or informal) that support staff through research, documentation, site visits, alteration reviews. Through the many staff spoken to in the course of this research, this was the area that staff felt was of the greatest need;

• Municipalities with established Heritage Conservation District generally had HCD Review Subcommittees established to review all plans and permits associated with that individual HCD, and to assist staff with property owner contacts and liaison within the individual HCDs;

• Several MHCs had subcommittees that focused on exploring heritage property tax rebates within their own municipalities, and upon heritage property grant incentives;

• Mississauga was the only MHC to have established subcommittees to look specifically at Heritage Trees or at Cultural Landscapes.

Analysis Mississauga and HAC have been fairly well represented through its subcommittees, both formal and informal. The Public Awareness Subcommittee and Heritage Designation Subcommittee fit within the most common practices of neighbouring MHCs, while the Meadowvale Village Heritage Conservation District Review Subcommittee also fulfills this need. The Heritage Tree Subcommittee fits a focused need, and other municipalities may well follow Mississauga's lead once a program and by-law for protection of heritage trees is formally established.

According to the majority of Heritage Planners that I was able to liaison with, subcommittees can play an important role in fulfilling the MHC s mandate. Additionally, subcommittee membership can include members of the public outside of the MHC members, in effect broadening the base expertise and public involvement with the MHC, providing further opportunities for engagement, input, and awareness. From

7-3

that perspective alone, subcommittees have an important role in that they can involve more people (perhaps areas of expertise that aren't on an MHC) and garner further support for heritage conservation.

Where HAC perhaps lacks is with the Old Port Credit Heritage Conservation District which does not have an individual review subcommittee, nor is there active/ established subcommittees focused on researching the potential of heritage property tax permits -both of which might be something that HAC may wish to explore. To note, the tax rebate system was explored several years ago and it was decided that Mississauga would not enter into that program at that time.

Recommendations It is my recommendation that HAC determine which subcommittees should continue, and which, if any, should be established, and after HAC members are appointed to the various subcommittees, that the first order of business for the various subcommittees should be to draft (in concert with the Heritage Coordinator's Office and City Clerks) Terms of References for each subcommittee. These Terms of References should then be brought forward to HAC and Council for formal approvals. A deadline of the July meeting of HAC should be met in order to have the subcommittees established as soon as possible. We have, on file through Clerks, DRAFT Terms of References for the Public Awareness Subcommittee, the Heritage Designation Subcommittee and the Heritage Tree Subcommittee, which can assist members with their discussions and formation of new Terms of References. General consensus, from consulting municipalities, was that Terms of Reference would be very beneficial to the operation of subcommittees, and is encouraged by the Ministry of Tourism and Culture. Further information is available through the Heritage Tool Kit from the Ministry of Culture.

I would be happy to discuss this further at the upcoming Mississauga Heritage Advisory Committee meeting.

Subject: Re: ICITIZEN REPL YI Port Credit Library Sign Attachments: CulturaLLandscapeJnventory_Page_71.gif

May 16, 2011

Paul Mitcham Commissioner, Community Services City of Mississauga

Dear Paul: Your reply (be/ow) concerning the Port Credit Library sign has been circulated and discussed by the citizen recipients. The Executives of TOPCA, PCVP and MSHS (all copied) are disappointed in this response.

At our March 18 meeting, you committed to reviewing with us the cost and technical factors for mitigating the impact of the Library sign on the mainstreet, once those options were examined. We believe this follow-up meeting should still take place. We do not believe the concerns we raised (as summarized iii the recap e-mail to you, appended further below) have been addressed, including: aesthetic, heritage, scale, safety, 'campus', City branding and informational issues.

There is a reference to "sight lines" in your response, and we are requesting an explanation -- as we understood from the meeting, the size of the sign was in fact scaled to the height of the 20-storey building at 150 Lakeshore Road West based on an engineering (not an urban design) site visit and decision, and there was no consideration of sight lines. If anything, we believe lowering the digital information element will place it within a safer line of sight for drivers who must currently look up to read it.

With the assistance of MSHS, we have done further research into the heritage implications of the sign, and have learned that the City's 'branding pillar' (equivalent in size to what is found at the City's largest facilities) is located within the Credit River Cultural Heritage Corridor, which is designated a scenic heritage landscape under the terms of the Ontario Heritage Act. We believe that by interfering with the view of the riverscape and by contradicting the character of the cultural corridor, the sign does not comply with City's own standards defining heritage landscapes.

Attached is page 71 from the Community Services' Cultural Heritage Inventory file regarding the Credit River Corridor. The items in this file were added to the City's heritage inventory so, just like any 'listed' property (i.e. the Dudgeon Cottage and the Port Credit Post Office), we believe the City should be required to complete a Heritage Impact Statement for the Library sign.

By copy to the Legislative Coordinator, we are requesting that this letter be placed on the Agenda of the Heritage Advisory Committee (HAC) for Tues. May 24, in order to receive clarification on this matter. We believe that a Heritage Impact Statement (HIS) concerning the Library sign installation should be prepared for HAC review, as has been done for other City-owned deSignated properties.

We note, per the HAC Minutes of December 1, 2009 (p2 of the PDF), that the plans for the Port Credit Library renovation were filed with HAC. We are requesting from the HAC coordinator a copy of the HIS prepared by E.RA Architects Inc. which is referenced in this excerpt from the Minutes:

3. Alteration to a Property Listed on the City's Heritage Register, Port Credit Library, 20 Lakeshore Road East

Corporate Report dated November 19, 2009 from Commissioner of Community Services with respect to alterations of the Port Credit Library located at 20 Lakeshore Road East.

Michael Spaziani moved the following motion, which was voted upon and carried.

1

9-2

HAC-0077-2009 That the proposed renovations to the Port Credit Library, 20 Lakeshore Road East, listed on the City's Heritage Register, and the Heritage Impact Statement as prepared by ERA. Architects Inc., as described in the report from the Commissioner of Community Services dated November 19, 2009, be received for information.

Received (Michael Spaziani) CS.08.LAK W1

We have published some representative communitv comments on the TOPCA website, and posted images of the Lome Park Librarv sign in comparison to the Port Credit Library sign (as we discussed on March 18). As stated at our last meeting, we believe there is a possibility to retain the digital information component but scale the sign more appropriately within its critical mainstreet and riverscape position.

We also plan to raise this issue at the next meeting of the Port Credit Local Advisory Panel (May 17). The PCLAP has been methodically and in good faith reviewing all the urban design elements which will enhance and ensure the viability of Port Credit's village character, including signage. Greater restrictions are required in Port Credit than the City-wide sign by-law if the village character is to be retained. This is supported in the 2001 background report Mississauga Sign By-law Review: Signs in the City Final Report which has been forwarded to us by co-author Michael Spaziani and is posted in the TOPCA Library sign article. The report states:

For the Sign By-law Review, we identified several areas of Special Character in the City of Mississauga for the purposes of signage. The following areas have distinct characteristics or historical factors that are relevant to the type of signs erected in these areas:

- The City Centre. - Mainstreet Commercial Areas and BIA's including Streetsville,

Port Credit, Clarkson, Cooksville, and Lakeview. - The Mineola District along Hurontario Street.

These areas have unique characteristics that warrant specific sign measures outside the general provisions of the new Sign By-law.

Given the ongoing number of proposed infill re-developments abutting the mainstreet in Port Credit, 'commercial campus' signage will increasingly be an issue. We believe the City should aspire to be an exemplar in this regard, and make every effort to remedy this situation created through a rushed process which did not include prior public consultation.

Sincerely, Dorothy (905) 278-6437

Further to meeting with community representatives on March 18, 2011, we have completed our review of the pylon message board sign at Port Credit Library,

For information, the design of the sign has been standardized to create a consistent visual image or "brand" for City of Mississauga information signs. As the network expands, we expect the public to recognize the sign as an important source of community information.

As discussed, we have considered lowering of the sign but do not support due to cost and impact on sight lines which could compromise the utility of the sign.

Longer term, I think we all agree something more distinctive and artful is desirable here in place of a standard City sign, per some samples supplied by Michael Spaziani.

In the short term, mitigation at the present location is desirable to address two immediate concerns: the scale (size) in relation to the Library itself and the mainstreet, and the safety issue for pedestrians and cyclists WRT the narrow "rightin" access to the Library parking lot located just feet away from a large 'gateway' sign which promotes four venues.

The offer to reconvene the group to review possible scenarios that Community Services staff will now examine is very welcome. As noted these scenarios could include structurally lowering the sign, or switching the sign with that of another facility.

ATTACHED are photos of the Promenade Park pillar sign and the Lakeview Library sign as discussed this morning. As Betty recommended, we can also check out the new Lorne Park Library sign on Truscott which is smaller but still has the digital messaging.

It is worth noting that the DRAFT P,C. Local Area Plan currently has language for six Guiding Principles which serve to state the issue here (as presented by Policy Planning staff at the Port Credit Local Advisory Panel on March 7). The first three are:

1. Protect and enhance the urban village character recognizing heritage resources, main street environment, compatibility in scale, design, mixture of uses and creating focal points and land marks for the public.

2. Support Port Credit as a distinct waterfront community with public access to the shoreline, protected views and vistas to Lake Ontario and Credit River and active waterfront uses.

9-4

3. Enhance the public realm by promoting and protecting the pedestrian, cyclist and transit environment, creating well connected and balanced parks and open spaces and reinforcing high quality urban design.

It is understood that the ISF process precluded much public consultation. While there was engineering input into the sign decision, perhaps some urban design input will help determine a balanced approach going forward.

Thanks again for the time, and for exploring possible options. Sincerely, Dorothy (905) 278-6437

Community Comments Received by TOPCA re: Port Credit Library Sign

as of May 16, 2011

Be/ow is a representative sampling of community input received by the Executive of the Town of Pori Credit Association (TOPCA).

I think the sign is inappropriate for the size and location of the library. Large, plastic and bright... .. it takes away from the charm and character of a small community village. C.S.

***** I ... live in Port Credit. I have tried to be open minded and adjust to the new Port Credit library sign but I think it is too tall and I do not like the flashing yellow writing. It is a driving distraction and ruins the view of the new branch, park and river. T.L.M.

* * * * * My friend ... and I drove past the new library last week and that is the first thing we noticed, what a horrible looking sign. It is like placing a recycling bin in front of your best best view. It looks totally out of place with the new sensitive design of the library. Could we not have a custom made sign that reflects the materials used by the architects on the new library? Honestly, I wonder who designs this kind of junk. S.C.

***** We totally agree with the TOPCA letter. We have been away on vacation and came back to see the new sign. We thought it was wa-a-ay too big for that spot!! S.&K. W

***** Thank you for sending this letter. I am glad that others have picked up on the fact that the sign does not "fit in." This sign just jumps out at you and it has a "downtown" look, not a small village look. It would be AMAZING if it was removed. Port Credit is not flashing lights - it is a quaint and nostalgic place. S.H.

* * * * * My opinion, A very expensive sign and I like it.. .................... they could put a light blue or other color bulbs to reduce the bright white... C.R.

* * * * * Gee, having read your letter and given this some more thought I'm definitely swayed against the sign now. Must say I like the smaller blue signs that we already have and they, as well, meet City standards .... What I do object to and find very confusing (and tourists certainly will) is the reference to the Arena and the Marina. The reference to the Library and to Memorial Park are fine - they are after all linked and as well at the end of the parking lot - but the Arena and Marina certainly are not. Perhaps the sign could be amended with directions to the Arena; however for those travelling westbound they have already passed the intersection (Lakeshore and Stavebank) where they needed to turn. There should be a separate sign for the Marina on the other side of the road with an arrow pointing in its direction. You don't want Arena traffic also turning into the Library/Park parking lot as this would greatly increase traffic in a childfriendly family-friendly area create a possible bottleneck at the stop sign. K.E.

* * * * *

9-8

Yuck! I must agree, that sign is not at all to scale with the library grounds. Though I'm not sure if the City has any other sized signs. That monstrosity seems to be the standard size ... and honestly, I don't like any of them (anywhere in the city). I wish they would rethink them altogether! G.C.

* * * * * My opinion is that this sign should respect the village feel. It does not. It is very corporate. If I were going a 100 km/h on Lakeshore - this sign would be appropriate. But as this village is a walking community it might be more appropriate for a less intrusive sign. As an aside, if Art Connect places the winning art piece in this location - the sign would detract from the hard fought for Art Piece. T.R.

* * * * * Would there, perhaps, be interest in moving this sign to in front of the Port Credit Memorial Arena, rather than having it directly on Lakeshore Road? M. W

* * * * * I share your disdain for the library sign. I was driving along Truscott and noticed the new library sign for the Lorne Park branch is much smaller and more appropriate. Wonder if we could get same .... M.P.

Both of these photographs are shown at the same scale. The width of both signs is equal. At sidewalk level the Lorne Park library sign is lower than the relative height of the trees behind it.

At sidewalk level the Port Credit library sign appears as tall or taller than the high-rise apartment buildings behind it.

PRESENT CITY CONTEXT· 3.0

Areas of Special Character

The City of Mississauga contains several areas distinguished by their

particUlar characteristics_ The identity of these are'i3s in the City

comes from:

The type of use in the area and ilsrole in the City's urban

structure,

The time period in which the area developed.

The area's locational. conte~·

For the Sign By-law Review, we identified several ~reas of-Special

Character in the City of Mississauga for the purposes of signage. The

following areas have distinct characteristics or historical factors that

are relevant to the type of signs erected in these areas:

The City Centre.

Malnstreet Commercial Areas and BIA's including Streetsvilie,

Port Credit, Clarkson. Cooksville, and Lakeview .

The Mineola District along Hurontario Street.

These areas have unique characteristics that warrant specific sign

measuies outside the general provisio'ns of the new Sign BYp{aw .

The new Sign By-laW-Will recognize the special circumstances in

these areas relative to signs. Provision will be m'ade to ensure-that

the individual characteristics of these areas are not undenmined by the general provisions of the Sign By-law. Exceptions from the

general provisions will be made to ensure particular" character

features are supported and thaI the City's urban design goals and

streetscap" objectives are promoted by the local signage,

City Centre

The City Centre is intended to develop as a distinctive city core for

Mississauga. The City's goal is to develop a vibrant City Centre

containing a mix of uses and a built environment that will attract high

level of social actiVity. Mlssissauga's viSion for its City Centre is a

high intensity, mixed use centre of residential, employment,

commercial, cultural and recreation uses, all combined as the civic

focus for Missisfj:auga,

Exhibiting a high design standard and qualrty of materials.

Designed as a-n integrated structure with a consistent design

theme and choice of materials.

Pesignedto cOmplement and integrate with nearby principal

buildings.

Display continuity in materials and design from the base to top.

Contain lighting integrated with the structure.

Include an appropriately landscaped area around the base of

the sign, consisting of landscaping, special paving or other

appropriate structures to complement the sign:

Appropriate desi9~ criteria to consider far these monument signs are:

Maximum 18 metre (60 feet) height and 3 metre (10 feet) width.

Graphic content of 30% of each sign face,to consist of shopping

centre name, logo and graphics with up to 10% of the sign face

devoted to an electronic display with a maximum height of 6

melres (20 feet).

Such signs are likely to be unique in design displaying a high degree

of creativity that cannot be foreseen at this time. In such specialized

cases, the minor variance' process provides Council with the flexibility

to approve such signage where it is consistent with the City's

development and design objectives for the. Crty C.entre.

The sign variance process also allows Council to consider other

unique sign proposals in association with a spe,cific development

proposal in the City Centre. Council. can then assess the suitability of

the sign In the context of the particular developmen! and overall area.

Mainstreet Commercial Are.asand BIA's

Three of the historic village areas in Misslssauga - Streetsville, Port

Credit and Clarkson - have retained much of their original Mainstreet

commercial character.

The commercial areas along Queen Street South in Streetsville and

Lakeshore Road in Port Credit and Clarkson are traditional shopping

streets where store fronts have little or no setback from the street

line. E~ch of these three commercial areas is a Business

Ground Signs at City F'Icilities

In thelohgrun, the City shOuld seek to reduce its use of mob.ile

signs. This c~n be achieve.d by r"lying more on the ground signs

IQcated at community centres and other City facilities, in

Mississau9_a to (H,splay cQrnmunity messages.

This has occurred at some new City facilities such as .the

Cawthra Community Centre and others where a portion of the

ground sign at a cOmmunity centre contains changeable copy.

Over time, hlodernization oJ the City's ground signs to

accommodate changeable copy will reduce the need to use

mobile signs for public notification and advertising. For

example~ the-re are currently' 11 major community centres, 14

public libraries, 12 arenas, 10 indoor pools and 19 firehalls in

Mlssissauga. Modernizing the associated ground signs to

display community messages at these and other City facilities

will enhance both lh'8 s-jgns _and the City's communication

program.

Community Message Boards

An option with major potential is for the City to establish

permanent community message boards at major City

intersections and other strategic locations-across Mississauga.

These locations are generally heavily travelled and highly

visible to reside'nts travelling in their-cars. These permanent

community message boards would provide for changeable copy

just like ground signs but would not be related to a specific

facility.

This study examined the potential of permanent community

message boards to meet the City's needs to stay in louch and

communicate with Mississauga residents.

The community message boards can contain a variety of

messaging technologies including changeable letters, LED

displays, and poster panels in any combination. The sign

structure is modu1ar and provfdes for a range of display options

and flexibility in updating and changing the message. Wired or

wireless links to the community message- boards would allow

the- messages to be changed from a central location in the case

of LED or other electronic displays .

A good distribution of -community message boards across

Mississauga can be achieved with approximately 30 community

message hoards. This provides an average of '3 permanent

community message boards for each Ward and provides ior

more message board!? in the larger Wards .

Initial intersections to be considered for the installation of

community message boards by the City include the following:

Huron!ario Street and Rathburn Road,

Hurontario' Street and Queensway_

Lakeshore. Road and Lorne Park Road .

Cawthra Road and Atwater Avenue .

Derry Road and Goreway Drive .

Erin Mills Parkway and The Collegeway.

Winston Churchill Boulevard and Battleford Road .

South down R.oad and Truscott Drive .

Creditview Road and Britannia Road .

Burnhamthorpe Road and Dixie Road.

Appropriately designed ,and located community message boards

have-the_potential to become attractive elements in-the-public

realm as part of the streetscape. These permane-nt communfty

message boards could become unique and distinctive aspects

of Mississauga. The City would be a municipal pioneer in this

1nitiative.

MobUe Signs

Although the City's use of mobile signs is e1(pected to decrease

with the increased use of gro'Ul:ld signs _arid commun-ity message

boards, it is recognized that the City and community groups will

continue to also use mobile signs. The City's mobile signs will

providelocational flexibility for community messages.

The Gity currently uses a standard commercial mobile 'sign

supplied by its sign contractor. The sign generally contains the

City'slege with lettering on a white or yellow background.

NEW DIRECTIONS

Mississauga Sign By-law Review S.igns in the City

A distinctive design is recommended for the City's mobile signs.

This is achieved by a new sig" design that incorporates a

distinctive header finished in the City's colour, labelled with the

City's Jogo and name. Uniform lettering in a contrasting single

solid colour will add to the sign's visual quality and help to

distinguish the City's signs from other commercial mobile signs.

The City should establish a permanent set of approximately 30

approved locations for the mobiles signs- it-erects. The mobile

signs approved by the City for community groups and charities

would also be limited to these locations. This provides greater

control over the loeationol these roadside signs in the City's

road allowances and should help reduce general visual clutter.

Placing mobile signs in 1he untravelled municipal road

allowance should be limited to the following bodies:

. The City of Mississauga.

The Region of Peel and the Peel Region Police.

Community groups and charities approved by the City.

The current practice of other public bodies such as the Boards

of Education and the YMCA placing mobile signs in the road

allowance should no longer be permitted by the City and

Region. These bodies should limit their mobile signs to

locations on their properties outside the road allowance, in

accordance with the Sign By-jaw,

Over time, greater use of ground .signs with changeable copy at

City facilities and the potential implementation of permanent

community message boards acroSs- Mississauga should reduce

the degree to which the City relies on mobile signs for

communicating with resid_ents.

The new consolidated Sign Unit will deal with all sign permit

approvals. This will include all permanent and portable signs.

The Committee requested regular updates from Heritage staff and others regarding the archaeological investigations without jeopardizing the investigations. Ms. Burt advised that Heritage staff would explore the possibility of having an offsite tour and lunch for Committee members at the Mississaugua (sic.) Golf and Country Club. That the proposed heritage designation of the Port Credit Post Office, Customs House and Armoury, 31 Lakeshore Road East, be deferred pending the owner's submission of a Heritage Impact Statement that is satisfactory to Culture Division staff.

That Heritage staff work with the owner of the property located at 613 6 Ninth Line to retain the barn's stone foundation until a complete assessment is performed and to salvage as many materials as possible from the property. Ms. Eigl reported that some Committee members and staff did a site inspection at 6136 Ninth Line, a property that came before the Committee on February 22, 2011. The property owner is open to salvaging and donating various items to the Museums of Mississauga. Ms. Eigl advised that she would suggest demolition companies to the property owner and encourage them to salvage as many materials as much as possible.

1.0 Heritage Description

The Mineola neighbourhood has been identified as a significant cultural landscape due to the

development of this area in a time when natural elements respected the lot pattern and road systems.

These elements include rolling topography, natural drainage and mature trees. The roads wind, rise,

and fall with the natural topography, and there are no curbs. This softens the transition from

landscaped yards to the street edge. What has evolved is a neighbourhood with a variety of quality

housing stock and rich, stimulating landscape that blends houses with their natural and manicured

surroundings. The balance of built form and natural surroundings on generally larger lots has given this

neighbourhood a distinct character within Mississauga.

1.1 Existing Area Description

The Indian Valley Trail / Stavebank area is well groomed and appeals not only to its owners but to

visitors as well. The area consists of new development as well as quaint existing structures that add

character which is unique to the area. Residential dwellings each have their own character and design

style making it difficult to discern a specific style or look in the area. New and existing dwellings within

the area are constructed using natural stone, brick, siding and/or stucco by themselves or in

combination to give them a classy appearance in their own unique fashion. The newer dwellings range

from 4000 ft² to 5000 ft², while the older original dwellings, ranging from bungalows to two storey

traditional style homes, are between 2000 ft² and 4000 ft². The area’s landscape consists of ravines,

creeks, mature growth trees and also some recently planted trees.

Strom water management consists of natural drainage from ditches to limited underground storm

sewers that divert storm water to several little creeks that run throughout the area to Lake Ontario or

the Credit River. Some storm water is naturally diverted to the creeks from the ditches or natural

watersheds and directly from the properties themselves.

An area of study for the proposed construction to compare new and existing homes within the proximity

of the site comes from the following streets:

Indian Valley Trail

Pinetree Crescent

Stavebank Road

Refer to Appendix for photos of existing landscape and neighbouring properties.

1.2 Existing Property Description

The subject property is located in the old part of Port Credit, south of the Queen Elizabeth Way, west of

Hurontario Road (formerly Hwy. No. 10), and on the southeast corner of Indian Valley Trail and

Stavebank Road. The subject property is number 358 Indian Valley Trail, with a legal description of Part

of Block E, Registered Plan B-09, and the zoning designation R1-2.

The property had recently been severed from a single lot that was conveyed into three lots and

Greenbelt Lands to the northeast side of the property of 1459 Stavebank Road with a legal description

of Plan B-09. The properties were severed under file numbers “B” 015/09 – 017/09. The retained lot

that faces Stavebank to the south of the lot, currently houses the single storey bungalow designated for

demolition. The other two lots face Indian Valley Trail, with one on the corner of Indian Valley Trail and

Stavebank. The lots are well vegetated with mature trees that have been assessed under the Hazard

Tree Assessment and Restoration Strategy for Greenbelt Lands and Updated Tree Preservation and

Impact Study prepared by North-South Environmental Inc., dated March 02, 2010.

Under the study, hazardous trees were found and a plan of action was recommended for their removal

(Illustration 1.1). For the remaining trees, tree preservation and protection as well as a recommended

building envelope was proposed. Illustration 1.2 demonstrates the proposed building envelopes and

tree preservation as submitted for severance. Illustration 1.3 shows the proposed development of the

subject land and grading to improve drainage and maintain the cultural landscape.

1.2a Retained and Severed Lot Sizes

The retained lot (lot 3) 1459 Stavebank Road has an area of 1886.46 m² with a lot frontage of 30.6 m

and maximum lot coverage of 471.6 m². Severed lot 2 (Part 2), 350 Indian Valley Trail has an area of

1512.74 m² with a lot frontage of 50 m and maximum lot coverage of 378 m². Severed lot 1 (Part 1),

358 Indian Valley Trail has an area of 1631.76 m² with a lot frontage of 37 m and maximum lot coverage

of 408 m².

1.3 Existing Landscape

The property consists of one deciduous tree, a red maple, on City owned property with a diameter of

0.506 m. On private property there are thirty-three deciduous trees (many different species including

birch, oak, maple, cherry, ash, elm , and poplar), ranging from 0.11 m to 0.61 m in diameter, and ten

coniferous trees (spruce and pine) with diameters ranging from 0.18 to 0.68 m.

There is a natural swale on the property for the discharging of surface storm water with close proximity

to the severed property line between lots 1 and 3. The swale drains from west to east towards Kenollie

creek.

2.0 Request

We are asking for permission to develop the recently severed property, lot 1, with the following

proposed dwelling. The area has been designated heritage because of its cultural landscape. We are

currently awaiting site plan approval under Site Plan file number SPI 11-025 W1. The proposed

development complies with Zoning By-law 0225-2007 which came into effect June 20, 2007 replacing

the former Zoning By-law 5500. We would be removing thirteen deciduous trees and five coniferous

trees that require a permit for removal, and one deciduous tree with a diameter of 0.11 m that doesn’t

require a permit for a total of nineteen trees (Table 2.0 for tree number and species requested for

removal).

Table 2.0 Proposed Tree Removal List

The replacement tree species (Table 2.0a Tree Replacement List) shows fifteen replacement trees with

their species that have been approved by the Credit Valley Conservation Authority for their location and

species type.

Table 2.0a Proposed Tree Removal List

We ask for this relief to obtain a building envelop of 22.12 m x 14.58 m plus a walkout at the rear of the

dwelling of 7.61 m x 2.69 m with a 11.62 m side yard setback.

2.1 Proposed Dwelling

We are proposing to build a 432.99 m² (4660.67 ft²) two storey, four bedroom dwelling with horizontal

wood siding and natural stone veneer exterior finish. A variety of roof pitches ranging from 8.5/12 to

17/12 pitch will be used to give character to the roof, which will be shingled with architecturally pleasing

asphalt shingles. The dwelling will contain aluminum clad windows dressed with wide decorative wood

trims to accent them. A covered porch similar to entries of other new dwellings within the area will also

be constructed. We are proposing full height natural stone veneer on both the front and right

elevations that both face the street.

The proposed dwelling should have no impact on the immediate neighbours as 1459 Stavebank is

scheduled to be designated for demolition and then rebuilt. The other immediate neighbour to the east

of the property at 350 Indian Valley Road is a vacant lot which is also to house infill development.

As per preliminary discussions with planning we increased the exterior side yard setback from 7.5 m to

11.79 m to protect several additional trees. Please see the following tables and illustrations for more

detailed information regarding the proposed development.

2.2 Proposed Landscape

Through the hazard tree assessment and restoration strategy prepared March 20, 2010 an adaptive

planting layout and techniques plan is to be developed for the replacement of trees and vegetation.

Following construction we are proposing to plant one tree for each tree that is removed. (Illustration

2.7) Proposed filling and cutting of low and high areas as noted in (Illustration 2.8) will improve drainage

and prevent ponding of storm water on the property. Additionally the use of swales both at the rear

and interior property lines will assist in directing drainage appropriately.

As one of the requirements for this area services such as hydro must be underground. In doing so we

eliminate the chances of overhead hydro lines becoming tangled in the trees. This also eliminates any

unnecessary pruning of trees where the lines could be damaged.

(Illustration 2.8) Development Concept and Grading Plan

3.0 Recommendations Reflecting upon the Ontario Heritage Act, Ontario Regulation 09/06 I feel the property doesn’t meet the criteria set out in the document.

1. Does the property have design value or physical value because of its, i. a rare, unique, representative or early example of style, type, expression, material or

construction method, ii. displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit, or iii. demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement?

At present, the subject lot is vacant. As such, it does not fit the above mentioned criteria for heritage.

2. Does the property have historical value or associative value because of its, i. has direct associations with theme, event, belief, person, activity, organization or

institution that is significant to the community, ii. yields, or has the potential to yield, information that contributes to an understanding

of a community or culture, or iii. demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect, artist, builder, designer or

theorist who is significant to a community?

The previous owners of the property had only developed part of the original lot and then severed it into three smaller lots. As the house is situated on the third lot, and not the one described in this report, again there is no significant works by an architect/designer/builder, etc., or the possibility to lead to a better understanding of a significant institution within the community.

3. Does the property have contextual value because of its, i. is important in defining, maintaining or supporting the character of an area, ii. is physically, functionally, visually or historically linked to its surroundings, or iii. is a landmark. O. Reg. 9/06, s. 1(2)?

The subject property has not been designated a landmark as per O. Reg. 9/06, s. 1(2). As a severance was allowed on the original property it can be deduced that the lands is not physically, functionally, visually, or historically linked to its surroundings. And finally, the character of the neighbourhood in which the property is located is a neighbourhood that being quickly redeveloped into larger two storey homes in order to accommodate the influx of people that want to live in the area. The severance of the original lot was completed to allow more development in the area. The proposed development of the subject lot will therefore be in keeping with the character of the surrounding area.

Through the protection of existing trees and the replacement of those being removed one for one; the proposed development of the property will be in keeping with its cultural landscape heritage.
