Report from Merissa Lompart, Assistant Heritage Planner, re: Heritage Impact Assessment and Heritage Conservation Plan for 69 Elliott Street, Memorial Arena – Ward 3

Merissa Lompart, Assistant Heritage Planner, Planning, Building and Economic Development, provided an overview of the Heritage Impact Assessment and Heritage Conservation Plan for 69 Elliott Street, Memorial Arena, and responded to questions of clarification from the Board.

The following motion was considered. 

• HB002-2023
  1. That the report from Merissa Lompart, Assistant Heritage Planner, Planning, Building and Growth Management, dated December 29, 2022 to the Brampton Heritage Board Meeting of January 24, 2023, re: the Heritage Impact Assessment and Heritage Conservation Plan for 69 Elliott Street, Memorial Arena – Ward 3, be received; and,

      

  2. That the following recommendations as per the Heritage Impact Assessment by ATA Architects be followed:
     1. The schematic design of the addition has minimal impact on the heritage value of the Brampton Memorial Arena. Its form and massing complement the existing building and the addition is designed to be subordinate to the heritage arena. Refinement only is required.
     2. The architectural detailing of the addition requires further development to be fully compatible and sympathetic to the original building. Specific direction is noted in the HIA report that addresses that the design of the addition should borrow approaches and elements visible on the Arena exterior. Specific elements to be addressed include:
        1. Structure cladding and roof line above the existing facia line of the Hipel roof
        2. Consideration of the materials and articulation of the addition relative to the existing structure for compatibility and scale.
        3. Revise the window design for a continuous sill and variability in materials to emphasize horizontal nature of the window placement
        4. Various brick and cladding options to enhance visual effect of the design and support compatibility with existing.

            

  3. That the partial Heritage Conservation Plan prepared by ATA Architects Inc., which was included in the Heritage Impact Assessment pages 59-61 be referenced and followed as it addresses conservation requirements during construction and for the longer term maintenance of the building. The Conservation Plan shall be amended and expanded, and should further articulate the final design direction.

      

  4. That the Heritage Conservation Plan be submitted and approved prior to the issuance of Demolition or Building Permits for the project.
