Report by Pascal Doucet, Heritage Planner, re: Heritage Permit Application within the Village of Churchville Heritage Conservation District – 7605 Creditview Road – Ward 6 (HE.x 7605 Creditview Road)

Pascal Doucet, Heritage Planner, provided an overview of the report noting the following: 

• New dwelling proposed for the site is beyond the maximum gross floor area permitted in the Zoning By-law
• Size of the detached garage proposed will be larger than the existing structure
• Six mature trees marked for removal are located in the backyard  
• Property is deemed to have no heritage significance

Board discussion and comments included the following:

• Support of the proposal will be viewed as setting a precedent 
• Clarification by staff that the height of the proposed garage meets the requirement of the Zoning By-law
  
• Confirmation that a few homes within the district are larger than the size permitted 
• Clarification by staff that the design and layout of the home will not negatively impact the character of the Churchville Heritage Conservation District

Alex Temporale,  ATA Architects, responded to the concerns raised by the Board noting the following:

• The design of the proposed home and garage will minimize the impact on adjacent properties and will appear compatible to the neighbourhood  
• Front façade and streetscape will be conserved and maintained

There was consensus by the Board to refer the report back to staff for further review and consideration in accordance with the permitted maximum allowance in the Zoning- By-law, with input from the architect to be presented at the next meeting.

The following motion was considered:
