1. Motion re: Designation, Preservation and Protection of City-Owned

Heritage Resources (File G33). The Board reviewed a motion with respect to the designation, preservation

and protection of City-owned heritage resources, which was provided with the agenda.

Mr. Jim Leonard, Heritage Coordinator, Planning, Design and

Development, advised that he circulated a copy of this motion to senior staff in his Department who expressed support for the objectives therein, but raised a concern about the potential financial and other impacts on the City of Brampton. He advised that a suggestion was put forward that the Board consider referring this motion to staff for review and a report on the financial or other implications of implementing the measures outlined in the motion.

The Board held a discussion on the contents of the motion, available

means for advancing its objectives, and the request that it be referred to staff for review and a report.

The following motion was considered. HB135-2004 That, as considered at the Brampton Heritage Board Meeting of November 16,

2004, the following motion be referred to staff for review and a report on the financial and other implications to the City of Brampton of implementing the measures outlined therein:


2004 11 16 Page 8 of 16

“Whereas the Brampton Heritage Board acknowledges that the City actively encourages private property owners and developers to conserve and sensitively utilize heritage buildings; and, “Whereas the Board also recognizes that the City itself is generally a good steward of the heritage buildings under its ownership and acknowledges that the Community Services Department and the Planning, Design and Development Department, in particular, have made heritage conservation a priority – particularly in recent years; and, “Whereas it is the position of the Board that the City must focus concerted demonstrative attention on the conservation of the heritage resources that it currently owns and manages; and, “Whereas it is the position of the Board that heritage buildings are not simply City brick and mortar facilities, capital assets or real estate; they are also fragile, unique and significant historical assets that attract tourists and stimulate business and economic development, and they require another level of consideration and must always be managed with conservation principles at the fore; and,

“Whereas the Board believes that there is also a public expectation that the City will not only own heritage buildings/resources, but will always set the bar higher than those privately owned with regard to their care and management, and in addition, that the City will maintain and use its heritage resources in a manner appropriate for each and that it will always consider the impacts of proposed renovations and capital works on the heritage character of these buildings and sites; and,

“Whereas the Board believes that designation will clearly itemize the heritage attributes of each City-owned property so that there is no question about which features are important and thus are worth preserving if at all possible, and the City will also publicly demonstrate a level of commitment to basic heritage conservation; and,

“Whereas it is the position of the Board that designation does not impose undue cost burdens on the City unless the City sees fit to spend more, that it does not delay or block renovations, expansions or alterations either, that it does not obligate the City to restore a building or any of its original features, and that City Council would set the scope and parameters of each designation bylaw;

“Therefore Be It Resolved that:

“a) Staff be directed to prepare heritage designation reports and to launch the

heritage designation process (under the Ontario Heritage Act, Part IV) for all City-owned properties of merit; and,


2004 11 16 Page 9 of 16

“b) Staff be directed to draft conservation maintenance plans for each of its

City-owned heritage resources which will help clarify when conservation may be more appropriate than standard maintenance (e.g. selecting the right mortar mix for masonry walls, etc); and,

“c) As a matter of policy, the services of qualified restoration architects and

heritage contractors be retained whenever major alterations, upgrades, relocations, restorations or other capital works are being undertaken, as it is the position of the Brampton Heritage Board that only architects and engineers with experience working with heritage buildings are qualified to undertake such projects; and,

“d) The Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places

in Canada be adopted with regard to all maintenance, conservation and restoration projects involving City-owned heritage buildings and sites; and,

“e) A heritage conservation strategy be adopted for all City-owned heritage

resources to help manage and guide their use, management and maintenance; and,

“f) Staff consult openly and actively with heritage staff in the Planning,

Design and Development Department and with the Brampton Heritage Board as necessary, throughout all stages of planning for capital works, major renovations, relocation proposals and the like related to the City’s heritage resources as these individuals and the Board exist specifically to assess and evaluate the potential impacts on the existing heritage attributes and character defining elements.”

Carried 2. Discussion at the request of Ms. Lynda Voegtle, Chair, Heritage

Resources Sub-Committee, re: Concerns re potential damage to heritage resources on a property in the former Township of Toronto Gore – site of the crash of Flight #621 in 1970 (File G33).

Ms. Lynda Voegtle, Chair, Heritage Resources Sub-Committee, advised

2004 11 16 Page 10 of 16

She indicated that this matter was brought to the sub-committee’s attention

through a group of individuals who are writing a book about this plane crash, and advised that concerns were raised by a member of the group about the potential damage to heritage resources on the site as a result of visits being undertaken to the property in researching the book.

Ms. Voegtle put forward a suggestion that the Brampton Heritage Board,

under the signature of the Co-Chairs, write a letter to this group and express concern about the potential damage to heritage resources on this property, the importance of keeping the site intact and undisturbed, and providing information on steps available, such as designation, to preserve any heritage resources that may remain on the site.

Discussion and questions on this matter included precedents for

designation of “disaster sites” and the Board’s role in this matter. Concerns were expressed that the Board did not have enough information on this issue to endorse the Co-Chairs to write a letter to the group, and the role of the Board in addressing these concerns. Mr. Jim Leonard, Heritage Coordinator, Planning, Design and Development, responded to questions and provided information about the site and potential damage to heritage resources on this property.


2004, Concerns re potential damage to heritage resources on a property in the former Township of Toronto Gore – site of the crash of Flight #621 in 1970 (File G33) be referred to staff to be addressed in the most appropriate manner.
