1. That the report from Arpita Jambekar, Heritage Planner, Integrated City Planning, to the Special Brampton Heritage Board meeting of October 2, 2024, re: Heritage Impact Assessment for proposed development at 8525 Mississauga Road– Ward 4, be received;
2. That the Heritage Impact Assessment Report for the proposed Kaneff Subdivision on Part of the Lionhead Golf Club & Conference Centre Lands, 8525 Mississauga Road, prepared by Paul Dilse, Heritage Planning Consultant, dated 28 June 2023 be deemed complete;
3. That the following recommendations per the Heritage Impact Assessment be included in 2023 Kaneff’s Draft Plan of Subdivision:
I. Measures including natural or human-made deterrents to movement of people from the proposed park in Block 72 across the buffer and up the hill into the camp should be explored. A Landscape architect should be involved to choose the planting of native thorny shrub roses along the southern edge of the buffer to impede movement and design an eight-foot high chain link fence on which native Ontario vines can be grown where the turning circle and eventual alignment of Street A come close to the camp’s southwest corner. Under the direction of a landscape architect, the buffer itself should be planted with native species to the southern latitudes of the Province to develop into a screen of vegetation as dense as the forest behind.
II. For apartment buildings rising above the highest point of land in Camp Naivelt, measures should be explored to soften the impression of their height on the skyline. Opportunities like green roofs, terraced elevations and curvilinear profiles should be explored to design cluster of point towers that would have lesser effect on the skyline than slab towers with larger floor plates. Floors above the camp’s highest elevation could be clad in bird-friendly materials that resemble in color the pale blue or light gray shades of typical southern Ontario sky. Nighttime illumination of mechanical penthouses should be minimized; and,
4. That a historical interpretation on-site is recommended which involves following implementation recommendations:
I. Mounting site interpretation map of Eldorado Park and vicinity
II. Creation of a web page and an app on the cultural history of the Credit River Valley at Eldorado Park.
