    1. That the report from Merissa Lompart, Assistant Heritage Planner, dated November 4, 2021, to the Brampton Heritage Board Meeting of November 16, 2021, re, Heritage Impact Assessment, 10244 Mississauga Road, Part of Lot 12, Concession 5 West of Center Road, Chinguacousy Township, Now City of Brampton, Regional Municipality of Peel be received; and
    2. That the following recommendations as per the Heritage Impact Assessment by Parslow Heritage Consultancy Inc. be followed: 

    a. Given the historical/associative and contextual value of the residence at 10244 Mississauga Road, every effort should be made to conserve the house. The preferred mitigation option is the relocation of the structure to a prominent location within the proposed development (Section 8.1.3). The relocation should retain the heritage attributes of the structure (Section 6.3) while providing for the adaptive reuse of the structure in a way that will provide for its inclusion within the community. The exterior of the structure should be restored to its as built configuration, including front veranda, based on available evidence. The interior of the home has been extensively damaged and has been subject to alteration from its as built form. The interior of the home should be subject to adaptive reuse with internal finishes being complementary to the antiquity of the structure.

    b. It is recommended that any intervention aim to:

    i.    Promote community engagement and enjoyment of the structure
    ii.    Where possible maintain the visual connection with Mississauga Road

    iii.    Retain the exterior configuration of the original portion of the structure including front veranda
    iv.    Ensure alterations and augmentations are sympathetic to and distinguishable from the original fabric of the structure
    v.    Reflect the as built setback of the structure
    vi.    Interior alterations should be complementary to the antiquity of the structure, but restoration to as built interior configuration and finishes are not recommended

    c. It is also recommended that:

    i. Designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act be considered. Based on Ontario Regulation 9/06, the Subject Property meets the criteria for heritage designation. The residence has historical/associative and contextual value, serving as a touchstone to the historical settlement and agricultural development of Chinguacousy Township
    ii.  A conservation and adaptive reuse plan be developed

    3. That when further discussion on relocation occurs between the City of Brampton and the Developer, relocation options facing Mississauga Road be thoroughly explored and prioritized over options facing other arterial roads.

    HB060-2021

    1. That the Resignation of Vipul Shah, Member, to the Brampton Heritage Board Meeting of November 16, be accepted; and

    2. That Mr. Shah be thanked for his years of volunteering and contributions to the Board. 

    HB061-2021

    That Brampton Heritage Board do now adjourn to meet again on December 14, 2021 at 7:00 pm.

    2. That recommendation HB058-2021 be deferred to the Planning and Development Committee meeting on January 17, 2022 for further consideration.

    HB058-2021 
    1. That the report from Merissa Lompart, Assistant Heritage Planner, dated November 4, 2021, to the Brampton Heritage Board Meeting of November 16, 2021, re: Heritage Impact Assessment, 8940 Creditview Road, Part of Lot 5, Concession 4 West of Center Road, Chinguacousy Township, Now City of Brampton, Regional Municipality of Peel dated November 2, 2021 be received; and 

    2. That the following recommendations as per the Heritage Impact Assessment by Parslow Heritage Consultancy Inc. be followed: 

    a. While in situ retention is always preferable it is not always the most viable or practical option to ensure the retention of heritage resources. To facilitate the retention and preservation of the Edwin Trimble House while allowing for the continued development of the area it is recommended that Edwin Trimble House be relocated to proposed lot 59 or 60 of the proposed development plan (Appendix B). Relocation of the house should include: 

    i. Continued visibility from Creditview Road and George Brown Drive; development should not be permitted that would obstruct the view of Edwin Trimble House. 5 

    ii. Any alterations to the Edwin Trimble House should be limited to the rear of the structure. 

    iii. Setbacks should be maintained that preserve the aesthetic of the residence. 

    iv. New construction adjacent to the Edwin Trimble House should not exceed the current elevation of the extant structure. 

    v. The establishment of a heritage easement should be discussed with the City of Brampton to ensure the ongoing retention of Edwin Trimble House. vi. Designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act should be considered. vii. Edwin Trimble house shall be subject to structural assessment by a qualified structural engineer familiar with heritage structures 

    viii. Prior to undertaking any action, a conservation and adaptive reuse plan should be developed. b. In addition to the retention of Edwin Trimble House, development of the Subject Property should attempt to retain the mature pine trees that delineate the northeast limit of the property. These trees contribute to the Creditview Road Corridor CHL. If possible, Edwin Trimble House and the pine trees should be maintained together on a single lot.”
