The committee was concerned with the lack of definitions for
"alter/alteration" and "demolish/demolition", which are important to
distinguish the separate processes now required under the revised
legislation.

changes and regulations to the Ontario Heritage Act as they relate to
ensuring more housing choices/supply and addressing housing
affordability, and not preserving and conserving heritage.
Staff provided comments on the draft revised guidebooks to the Heritage
Toolkit from the Ministry of Heritage, Tourism and Culture Industries
through the Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) before the deadline
of July 1, 2021.

REPORT
Heritage Oakville Advisory Committee
Meeting Date: August 24, 2021
FROM: Planning Services Department
DATE: August 17, 2021
SUBJECT: Heritage permit application HP035/21-42.20P 105 Paliser Court –
New detached garage LOCATION: 105 Paliser Court WARD: Ward 2 Page 1
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That Heritage Permit Application HP035/21-42.20P for the construction of a new detached garage at 105 Paliser Court, as attached in Appendix B to the report dated August 17, 2021 from Planning Services, be approved subject to the following:

1. Construct a new detached garage.
Page 8 of 80
SUBJECT: Heritage permit application HP035/21-42.20P 105 Paliser Court – New detached garage Page 2 of 3
__________________________________________________________________________________________
The property at 105 Paliser Court is located on the northeast corner of Paliser Court and Lakeshore Road West, west of downtown Oakville. The property contains the Reverend George Washington House, a two-storey brick Regency cottage built in 1853. The house previously faced south onto Lakeshore Road and in 2008 was relocated within the site to face west onto Paliser Court, a new street created to accommodate 12 new houses. The A location map for the property is attached as Appendix A. Designation By-law 2010-016 is attached as Appendix C. The complete application was submitted on August 3, 2021. See Appendix B for the application form, photos and drawings of the proposed work. In accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, the 90-day deadline for Council to deal with the application is October 1, 2021.
COMMENT/OPTIONS:
The owners are proposing to construct a one-storey two-car detached garage to the north of the existing house on the rear portion of the existing driveway, set back from the front of the heritage house. The proposed garage is a simple frame building with hip roof, to be clad in horizontal wood siding to match the wood siding on the existing rear house addition. It would be painted in a light cream colour to match the existing rear addition and trimwork on the historic house. Two garage doors are proposed on the front with one personal door on the rear. The proposed garage meets the town’s Zoning By-law and does not require any minor variances. When the house was relocated in 2008, the house was situated on the new property to allow for sufficient space around the heritage building to provide appropriate landscaping and setbacks from the adjacent new homes. At the time, staff were not supportive of an attached garage, so instead space was provided for a future detached garage, which the current owners would like to now build. Heritage Planning staff have reviewed the heritage permit application and consider the proposed garage to be an appropriate and compatible new structure on the site. The garage is detached and set back from the front of the heritage house, and has been designed with a low height and simple design to allow the heritage house to remain the prominent building on the property. The materials and colours have been chosen to complement the existing house while remaining distinguishable from it.
Staff recommend that this heritage permit application be approved subject to the conditions in the recommendation. The works proposed may be subject to other applicable Town regulations and requirements, such as site alteration permits and building permits. It is the applicant’s responsibility to review these matters with applicable staff.

LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTYUnit 1, Level 1, Halton Vacant Land Condominium Plan No. 556, Town of Oakville, Regional Municipality of Halton
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The Reverend George Washington House at 105 Paliser Court (formerly 417 Lakeshore Road West) is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act because of its cultural heritage value or interest.
Statement of Cultural Heritage Value
Historical or Associative Value
The property at 105 Paliser Court (formerly 417 Lakeshore Road West) has historic value in its associations with significant persons of historic Oakville.
This historic residence was built in 1853 by the Reverend George Washington, a Wesleyan preacher, after his retirement from circuit riding. Reverend Washington became a farmer and named his brick Regency cottage ‘Retreat’.
In 1874, the residence was bought by Captain Hugh Francis Pullan, a retired Paymaster of the Royal Navy. He re-named the property after his ancestral home in England, ‘Clifton’.
In 1883, Thomas Walsh and his wife purchased the house and ran it as a successful boarding house, calling it ‘Rosedale Villa’. In 1900, the house was acquired by Captain G.H. Morden, the founder of the Morden steamer line, which ran lumber from Georgian Bay.
Architectural/Physical Value
The property at 105 Paliser Court (formerly 417 Lakeshore Road West) was constructed in 1853, and is an example of a typical Regency-style cottage, modified with the addition of a mansard roof in 1878. The house has an open front verandah supported by delicately decorated posts, and the doorway is flanked by a flat transom of multiple lights and two sidelights. The building is constructed of brick in a stretcher bond pattern. The flat shaped windows enhanced by brick voussoirs are double hung, 6/6.

SUBJECT: Heritage permit application HP029/21-42.20F 187 Front Street – Demolition of existing house and construction of new house
Page 2 of 5
__________________________________________________________________________________________
1. Demolish the existing non-heritage house and; 2. Construct a new two-storey house.
The property at 187 Front Street is located on the north side of Front Street between Thomas and George streets and contains a 1 ½ storey house with an attached garage constructed in 1965. A location map for the property is attached as Appendix A. The property is located within the Old Oakville HCD but the existing house is not considered to be of significant heritage value and can therefore be removed. The owners are proposing to replace the existing house with a new two-storey house. The complete application was submitted on June 16, 2021. See Appendix B for the application form, photos and drawings of the proposed work. In accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, the 90-day deadline for Council to deal with the application is September 14, 2021.
COMMENT/OPTIONS:
The owners are proposing to construct a new two-storey detached dwelling with the garage integrated into the basement at the rear of the property. The proposed house would be built towards the westerly side of the property to allow for the driveway to extend to the garage at the back of the house. This would retain the existing grading on the lot, which slopes from the southwest to the northeast.
The proposed house is a simple frame home with traditional gable rooflines. Horizontal wood siding is proposed for the cladding and natural stone is proposed for along the base of the house and for a chimney on the west elevation. A two-storey stairwell projection on the east elevation adds dimension to the house. A wood canopy is proposed for above the stained wood front door. Large windows with traditional rectangular panes are proposed for the front of the house, while more contemporary windows with larger sections of glazing are proposed for the rear. The proposed new house requires site plan approval. The site plan application was presented to the Heritage Oakville Advisory Committee for comment on November 17, 2020. The primary concerns raised by the Committee were the overall height and massing of the proposed house, as well as the lack of soft landscaping in the front yard. Since that time, the following changes were made by the applicants in order to address some of the comments made by the Committee. These include:
The height of the house was lowered from 10.03m to 9.62m (the maximum permitted height is 10.5m);
The balcony was reduced in size;
The design of the windows was revised to create more traditional window divisions with more slender muntin bars for a lighter appearance; and
Additional trees and soft landscaping were added to the front yard.

__________________________________________________________________________________________
When evaluating the changes to the subject property, the District Plan for the Old Oakville HCD is the primary policy document to use. Additionally, Heritage Planning staff reviewed the proposed application with consideration of the town’s Livable Oakville Plan and its cultural heritage policies which support the conservation and enhancement of the town’s heritage conservation districts.
The Old Oakville HCD Plan includes the following guidelines as they relate to new construction within the district:
Scale in height and mass be compatible with surrounding buildings to ensure visual connectedness and existing sense of scale;
Construction materials should be visually sympathetic with existing buildings and streetscape yet appropriate given the design of the new structure;
Lot line setbacks be permitted to vary with consideration given to neighbouring setbacks and frontages;
Density to be in conformity with the Official Plan; and
Design, style, materials and colour for new construction to be considered on an individual basis on the premise that contemporary styles can be more appropriate in certain cases than emulating turn of the century designs.
The subject property is located in what is identified as Block 3 in the District Plan. The Block Analysis for this district does not provide much direction or analysis for this particular home, other than to note that the houses in this block step down the hill and emphasize the slope that runs from King Street to Front Street. The proposed new house retains this existing grading. The following minor variances for this proposal were approved at the Committee of Adjustment on July 27, 2021. Heritage Planning staff reviewed these minor variances, after consultation with Heritage Oakville, and had no significant concerns with them. They are as follows:
To permit a minimum front yard of 4.0m whereas the by-law requires a minimum of 6.0m
To permit a residential floor area for a dwelling having two storeys to be 43% of the lot area whereas the by-law permits a maximum of 30%.
The first variance was requested in order to ensure more uniform setbacks along the street, as the two front planes of the proposed house have been designed to line up with the adjacent houses which have smaller front yard setbacks, typical in this historic neighbourhood. The zoning by-law requires a minimum of 6.0m in order to ensure sufficient space for parking in front of the house, but in this case, the garage

SUBJECT: Heritage permit application HP029/21-42.20F 187 Front Street – Demolition of existing house and construction of new house
Page 4 of 5
__________________________________________________________________________________________
and parking are located towards the rear of the house and so this minimum amount of space is not required. The District Plan supports varied setbacks in order to ensure compatibility with surrounding properties. The second variance for residential floor area ratio is due primarily to the building’s design with the garage being located within the basement of the house. The overall massing of the house remains consistent and compatible with homes in the neighbourhood. There are no variances required for height, side or rear setbacks, or lot coverage. Heritage Planning staff have reviewed the District Plan as part of the assessment of this heritage permit application and consider the proposed work to be in keeping with the guidelines. The new home has a simple, traditional form with gable rooflines using traditional materials such as wood siding and natural stone. The location, height and massing of the house have been designed and adjusted to ensure that the house sits comfortably in the heritage district setting and does not overwhelm the nearby homes.
Staff recommend that this heritage permit application be approved subject to the conditions in the recommendation. The works proposed may be subject to other applicable Town regulations and requirements, such as site alteration permits and building permits. It is the applicant’s responsibility to review these matters with applicable staff.

REPORT
Heritage Oakville Advisory Committee
Meeting Date: August 24, 2021
FROM: Planning Services Department
DATE: August 17, 2021
SUBJECT: Notice of intention to designate – St. John’s United Church at
262 Randall Street LOCATION: 262 Randall Street WARD: Ward 3 Page 1
RECOMMENDATION:
That a notice of intention to designate be issued under Section 29, Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for St. John’s United Church at 262 Randall Street.
KEY FACTS:
The following are key points for consideration with respect to this report:
The property at 262 Randall Street contains St. John’s United Church, a 19th and 20th century brick ecclesiastical building.
Heritage planning staff have evaluated the property and consider the property worthy of conservation and heritage designation.
It is recommended that the property be designated under section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and that a notice of intention to designate be issued by Council.
BACKGROUND:
The property at 262 Randall Street is located at the southeast corner of Randall Street and Dunn Street in downtown Oakville. A location map and photos are attached as Appendix A. A draft Notice of Intention to Designate has been prepared by staff and is attached as Appendix B. Staff are recommending that the property be designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act as an individually designated property in order to conserve the historic St. John’s United Church, which is considered to be of significant cultural heritage value. The draft Notice of Intention to Designate provides more details on the intent of the designation.

SUBJECT: Notice of intention to designate – St. John’s United Church at 262 Randall Street Page 2 of 3
__________________________________________________________________________________________
COMMENT/OPTIONS:
The church property has cultural heritage value for its 19th century Gothic Revival church building and its 20th century Neo-Gothic Lusk Hall addition. These structures are well-executed examples of their styles and display a high degree of craftsmanship. The original church building contains the hallmark of Gothic Revival style, including the pointed lancet window, its steep roof with cross gables, buttresses, quatrefoil windows and date marker. The Neo-Gothic style used for Lusk Hall was a more understated version of the Gothic style, and Lusk Hall contains many of the features typical of this style, including decorative buttresses, a parapet with a battlement motif, monochromatic brickwork, a multiplicity of muntins in the windows, and arched doorways and windows.
The subject property has cultural heritage value for its direct associations with St. John’s United Church and its roots as a Methodist Church. The Wesleyan Methodist Church in Oakville was established in the early 1830s and finally settled in the current structure in 1877 which has been its home ever since. The property is also directly associated with the development of Oakville throughout the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Many individuals who played a significant role in the development of Oakville attended the church and made important contributions to the church and the town over the years.
The property also has contextual value as a landmark within downtown Oakville. The church building is important in defining, maintaining and supporting the character of downtown as an integral part of its fabric. St. John’s United Church is physically, functionally, visually and historically linked to its surroundings and not only provides a physical link to Oakville’s past but continues to define the downtown area in the present. These physical, historical and contextual associations are considered to be significant enough to merit designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. It is therefore recommended that Council issue a notice of intention to designate the property under section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Staff will continue to work with the Trustees of St. John’s United Church Oakville who have been working with staff on the designation of the property. A separate staff report on this matter will be presented to Planning and Development Council on September 13, 2021.
CONSIDERATIONS:
(A) PUBLIC
If notice is to be issued for the designation of the property, notice will be given in accordance with section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

(E) CLIMATE CHANGE/ACTION A Climate Emergency was declared by Council in June 2019 for the purposes of strengthening the Oakville community commitment in reducing carbon footprints. The retention and conservation of St. John’s United Church contributes to the town’s initiatives to reduce carbon footprints.

DRAFT NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE On September 13, 2021, Oakville Town Council resolved to pass a Notice of Intention to Designate the following property under Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. O.18, as amended, as a property of cultural heritage value and interest:
St. John’s United Church 262 Randall Street, Oakville, Ontario LTS A & B & PT LTS D & E BLK 4, PL 1, PT 1, 20R17371; OAKVILLE. S/T EASE IN FAVOUR OF PT LTS D & E, BLK 4, PL 1, PT 2, 20R17371 OVER PTS 1 & 2, 20R17445 AS IN HR611286.
Description of Property The St. John’s United Church property is located at the southeast corner of Randall Street and Dunn Street in downtown Oakville. The property contains a 19th and early 20th century brick church building known as St. John’s United Church. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest: Design and Physical Value The church property has cultural heritage value for its Gothic Revival church building and Neo-Gothic Lusk Hall addition. These structures are well-executed examples of their styles and display a high degree of craftsmanship. The Gothic Revival style was prevalent in Ontario from 1830-1900 and very common in churches of all Christian denominations. In the latter half of the century, during which time the St. John’s United Church building was constructed, the style was influenced not only by Gothic architecture from England but from central and southern Europe as well. The subject church building contains the hallmark of this style, the pointed lancet window, which is embellished throughout with polychromatic brickwork that echoes the window’s pointed arch. The church’s Gothic Revival style is also evident in its steep roof with cross gables, buttresses, quatrefoil windows and date marker, as well as the Gothic style details in the dichromatic brickwork. The Neo-Gothic style used for Lusk Hall was a more understated version of the Gothic style, prevalent in the first half of the 20th century and most common in scholastic buildings. Whereas Gothic style churches were heavily decorated in picturesque details like lancet windows pointing to the heavens, Neo-Gothic structures adopted some of the Gothic elements but applied them on a simpler and often larger scale for institutional buildings. Lusk Hall contains many of the features typical of this style, including decorative buttresses, a parapet with a battlement motif, monochromatic brickwork, a multiplicity of muntins in the windows, and arched doorways and windows. Historical and Associative Value The subject property has cultural heritage value for its direct associations with St. John’s United Church and its roots as a Methodist Church. The Wesleyan Methodist Church in Oakville was established in the early 1830s after two decades of church services being organized by saddle-bag preachers, or circuit

riders. The church built its first structure in the 1830s and after being moved to a handful of buildings, finally settled in the current structure in 1877 which has been its home ever since. The property is also directly associated with the development of Oakville throughout the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Many individuals who played a significant role in the development of Oakville attended the church and made important contributions to the church and the town over the years. The original 1877 church building and the 1923 Lusk Hall together have been significant buildings within the church community itself, but also within the larger community of Oakville. In addition to regular church services and group meetings, the space has hosted innumerable events such as weddings, funerals, baptisms, fundraisers – ordinary but significant occasions that are fundamental to the everyday life of a small town community. Contextual Value The property also has contextual value as a landmark within downtown Oakville. The church building is important in defining, maintaining and supporting the character of downtown as an integral part of its fabric. As is the case in all small Ontario towns, as Oakville was when the structure was built, churches and their easily recognizable steeples are significant and familiar landmarks that define a downtown area. St. John’s United Church is physically, functionally, visually and historically linked to its surroundings and not only provides a physical link to Oakville’s past but continues to define the downtown area in the present. Description of Heritage Attributes: Key attributes of the property which embody the cultural heritage value of St. John’s United Church include the following, as they relate to the north, east, south and west exterior elevations of the 1877 church building:
- The form of the T-shaped building formed by the sanctuary and rear vestry/Sunday School wing, including its steeply pitched gable roofs, parapets, truncated chimneys below the roofline, and brick and stone buttresses;
- The dichromatic red and buff brick walls in Common Brick Bond, including headers and other decorative brickwork;
- Fenestration of the original door and window openings; - Set of historic wood doors on northwest corner of the vestry/Sunday School wing, including
metal brackets; - All historic wood, stained glass, and leaded glass windows, including wood trim and stone sills; - Wood quatrefoil date marker reading “1877 A.D.”; - Wood louvered vents with associated stone lintels and sills; - Exposed wood roof eaves on vestry/Sunday School wing; - Stone coping on parapets and buttresses; - Lakestone foundation where it is exposed above grade; and - Slate roof.
Page 64 of 80
Key attributes of the property which embody the cultural heritage value of St. John’s United Church include the following, as they relate to the interior of the 1877 church building:
- The remaining elements of the original gallery, including its structure, decorative woodwork and metalwork, and cast iron columns supporting it.
Further information respecting this proposed designation is available from the Town of Oakville. Any inquiries may be directed to Carolyn Van Sligtenhorst, heritage planner at 905-845-6601, ext. 3870 (TTY 905-338-4200), or by email at [email protected]. The last date to file a notice of objection is October 18, 2021.

REPORT
Heritage Oakville Advisory Committee
Meeting Date: August 24, 2021
FROM: Planning Services Department
DATE: August 17, 2021
SUBJECT: Notice of Intention to Designate – Knox Sixteen Presbyterian
Church at 1150 Dundas Street West LOCATION: 1150 Dundas Street West WARD: Ward 5 Page 1
RECOMMENDATION:
That a Notice of Intention to Designate under Section 29, Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for the Knox Sixteen Church and Cemetery cultural heritage landscape, located at 1150 Dundas Street West, as identified in Appendix A to the report dated August 17, 2021 from the Planning Services Department, be issued.
KEY FACTS:
The following are key points for consideration with respect to this report:
On October 26, 2020, Oakville Town Council endorsed the Phase Two Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report for Knox Presbyterian Church Sixteen and Cemetery (Knox Sixteen) and recognized the property as a significant cultural heritage landscape and directed staff to proceed to Phase Three of the Cultural Heritage Landscape Strategy: Implementation of Protection Measures.
The Province has provided guidance on the framework to assess cultural heritage value or interest. The designed cultural heritage landscape of the Knox Sixteen Church and Cemetery property meets the criteria of Ontario Regulation 9/06 and merits protection under Section 29, Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.
The Ontario Heritage Act requires three components within a Notice of Intention to Designate: a description of the property; a statement of cultural heritage value; and, a description of its heritage attributes.

__________________________________________________________________________________________
Heritage Planning staff recommends that the Heritage Oakville Advisory Committee endorse the Draft Notice of Intention to Designate under Section 29, Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, attached as Appendix A.
BACKGROUND:
The Livable Oakville Plan states that the town will protect and preserve cultural heritage landscapes by utilizing applicable legislation. Cultural heritage landscape provisions are included in the Ontario Heritage Act, the Planning Act and the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020. In January 2014, the Town of Oakville adopted the Cultural Heritage Landscapes Strategy, which was created based on industry best practices. The purpose of the Strategy was to provide a framework for the identification and protection of cultural heritage landscapes in the Town of Oakville and direction for protecting and managing these resources for the future. Recognizing that any landscape that has been deliberately modified by humans is a cultural landscape, the Strategy expands on that definition, indicating that only those cultural landscapes that have a deep connection with the history of the community and are valued by the community can be identified as ‘cultural heritage landscapes’. In 2015, the Town of Oakville undertook an inventory of potential cultural heritage landscapes. At that time, Knox Presbyterian Church Sixteen and Cemetery (Knox Sixteen) was not included in the list of potential cultural heritage landscapes, but the inventory report noted that it was not a definite listing of all cultural heritage landscapes in Oakville. As was the standard at the time, when the property was designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA) in 1978, designation By-law 1978-085 only provided a legal description of the property. There was no requirement within the OHA to include a statement of cultural heritage value or interest, nor a list of heritage attributes. In 2019 and 2020, at the invitation of the minister and Wardens of Knox Sixteen, an assessment was undertaken to gain an understanding of the property’s heritage attributes and its cultural heritage value. This was done in order to update the 1978 designation by-law and to determine if the property met the criteria for a significant cultural heritage landscape. The Phase Two: Research and Assessment of Knox Sixteen was undertaken by Heritage Planning staff working with other Town Departments including Parks and Open Space and Legal. Consultation with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Knox Sixteen Church and local historical societies was also undertaken by Heritage Planning staff. On October 13, 2020, the Heritage Oakville Advisory Committee endorsed the draft Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report for Knox Presbyterian Church Sixteen and Cemetery at 1150 Dundas Street West,
Page 67 of 80
SUBJECT: Notice of Intention to Designate – Knox Sixteen Presbyterian Church at 1150 Dundas Street West
Page 3 of 5
__________________________________________________________________________________________
recommending that Knox Presbyterian Church Sixteen and Cemetery be recognized as a significant cultural heritage landscape and move into Phase Three: Implementation of Protection Measures. On October 26, 2020, Council received and endorsed the Phase Two Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report for Knox Sixteen, recognized the property as a significant cultural heritage landscape and directed that the assessment move into Phase Three: Implementation of Protection Measures. Phase Three: Implementation of Protection Measures The purpose of Phase Three is to ensure that significant cultural heritage resources are conserved. The term conserved, as shown in the PPS (2020) and Growth Plan (2019) definition earlier in this report, includes protection of significant cultural heritage resources, and also the management and use of these resources. For Phase Three, the Town seeks to ensure that the proposed designation, description of heritage attributes, and any proposed conservation measures recognize the cultural heritage value of Knox Sixteen.
COMMENT/OPTIONS:
For the Knox Sixteen, the first step of Phase Three is consideration of heritage protection under the Ontario Heritage Act. While the property is already designated pursuant to By-law 1978-085, the designation by-law lacks the information that is required by the current standards of the OHA. Knox Sixteen has been reassessed and recognized as a significant cultural heritage landscape. Should Council proceed with designation under Section 29, Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, they are required to issue a Notice of Intention to Designate to the property owner, the Ontario Heritage Trust, and to publish the Notice in a newspaper having general circulation in the municipality. The Ontario Heritage Act requires three components within a Notice of Intention to Designate. They are a description of the property; a statement of cultural heritage value or interest; and, a description of its heritage attributes. Heritage Planning staff recommend the approval of the description of Knox Sixteen; the statement of cultural heritage value or interest; and, the description of its heritage attributes, which is attached as Appendix A. Additional protection measures under Phase Three will be brought forward at a later date. This includes a Conservation Plan for a Cultural Heritage Landscape, which is required by By-law 2018-019.

__________________________________________________________________________________________
Conclusion Each phase of the implementation of the Cultural Heritage Landscape Strategy has advanced the Town’s understanding of Knox Sixteen’s significant cultural heritage landscape. Heritage Planning staff are satisfied that the Heritage Oakville Advisory Committee has before it sufficient additional information to initiate the designation of the property under Section 29, Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. Staff request that the Heritage Oakville Advisory Committee endorse the staff recommendation to issue a Notice of Intention to Designate for the Knox Presbyterian Church Sixteen and Cemetery cultural heritage landscape, as outlined in the attached Draft Notice of Intention to Designate, under Section 29, Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.
CONSIDERATIONS:
(A) PUBLIC
Should Council issue a Notice of Intention to Designate, the property owner and the Ontario Heritage Trust will be notified. The Notice will also be published in the local newspaper.
(B) FINANCIAL None
(C) IMPACT ON OTHER DEPARTMENTS & USERS The Legal Department has reviewed this report.
(D) CORPORATE STRATEGIC GOALS This report addresses the corporate strategic goal(s) to: • enhance our cultural environment • be the most livable town in Canada
(E) CLIMATE CHANGE/ACTION The designation of Knox Sixteen Church Cemetery as a cultural heritage landscape protects a valuable natural space that includes mature trees and vegetation and a habitat for wildlife. The protection of this significant property therefore supports the town’s climate and sustainability initiatives.

DRAFT NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE On September 13, 2021 Oakville Town Council resolved to pass a Notice of Intention to Designate the following property under Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. O.18, as amended, as a property of cultural heritage value and interest:
Knox Presbyterian Church Sixteen and Cemetery Cultural Heritage Landscape 1150 Dundas Street West, Oakville, Ontario
Description of Property: Knox Presbyterian Church Sixteen and Cemetery (Knox Sixteen) is located at the southwest corner of Dundas Street West and Lions Valley Park Road. It is surrounded by residential development to the east, Sixteen Mile Creek valley to the south and west, and Dundas Street West to the north. Municipally, it is identified as 1150 Dundas Street West. The 0.603 hectare (1.49 acre) property is the location of Knox Sixteen’s church and cemetery. The property is adjacent to Lions Valley Park, the location of the now lost village of Sixteen Hollow. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest: Knox Presbyterian Church Sixteen and Cemetery is an Organically Evolved (Continuing) cultural heritage landscape. As the original location of the community’s first church and cemetery, the Knox Sixteen CHL has significance because of its direct associations with an institution (the church) that is significant to a community. Further, it yields, or has the potential to yield, information that contributes to an understanding of the earliest members of the area’s Presbyterian community; to the 19th century community (Sixteen Hollow), its evolution and its eventual disappearance; and, to the current Presbyterian community. Historical and Associative Value: Knox Presbyterian Church Sixteen and Cemetery has historical and associative value because of its direct association with the lost village of Sixteen Hollow and the area’s development throughout the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, including its earliest residents and the earliest members of the Presbyterian community. Many individuals who played a significant role in the development of the church and community are buried in the cemetery, including some of the first European pioneers who settled in Trafalgar Township. Knox Sixteen yields, or has the potential to yield, information that contributes to an understanding of its parishioners and their religious needs and burial practices over almost two centuries of history. Further, the property yields, or has the potential to yield, information about the lost village of Sixteen Hollow, the former Trafalgar Township, and Oakville. Design and Physical Value: The Knox Presbyterian CHL has design value as a representative example of a mid 19th century protestant church and cemetery. The CHL has design and physical value for its 1846 church and
APPENDIX A
Page 71 of 80
cemetery. The church is an early and representative example of Gothic Revival architecture, which at the time was the most common style for religious buildings in Ontario. Knox Presbyterian Church Sixteen and Cemetery displays a high degree of craftsmanship and artistic merit, and is unique as one of the only remaining structures associated with the lost village of Sixteen Hollow. As the final resting place of some of Sixteen Hollow’s earliest residents, Knox Sixteen’s cemetery is an excellent example of an intact, mid-19th century protestant church cemetery. The cemetery includes early and representative examples of headstones, as well as unique monuments that display a high degree of craftsmanship. Still in active use, the cemetery contains a variety of grave markers and monuments that document the many changes in burial practices from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. These changes are manifest in the material, size, shape, design, inscriptions, symbols, construction techniques, and location of the grave markers and monuments. Knox Sixteen’s cemetery also has design and physical value for its natural heritage features, including the steep, densely treed slope of the Sixteen Mile Creek ravine and the property’s neatly manicured lawn with large trees and mature shrubs. Family members of the deceased have planted many of these, and together they provide shade and visual interest to the cemetery. In addition to the natural heritage features, the cemetery has significant hardscaping features, including decorative metal fences and gates, one which runs the length of the north and east sides of the cemetery, and another which surrounds the Triller family plot; and, multiple benches, affording visitors a place of quiet reflection. Knox Sixteen cemetery’s natural and hardscaping attributes reflect its almost 175-year evolution. It has cultural heritage value for its park-like setting within a rapidly expanding urban area, which contributes to a tranquil, scenic space that supports individuals and communities through their experiences of loss, grief, and commemoration. These natural and hardscaping attributes are integrated with the grave markers, monuments and other structures within the cemetery. Together, they combine to create a tranquil, natural setting which is steeped in history and memory. Contextual Value: Knox Presbyterian Church Sixteen and Cemetery is prominently located along Dundas Street West, a significant historic military road whose construction was ordered to facilitate the early development of Upper Canada, and consequently Trafalgar Township. For the past 175 years, Knox Sixteen has retained its original function in its original location. As such, Knox Presbyterian Church Sixteen and Cemetery has contextual value because it defines, maintains, and supports the character of the area; it remains physically, functionally, visually, and historically linked to its surroundings; and, it is a highly visible local landmark. The CHL’s park-like setting with its open space surrounding the church and the many mature trees and shrubs dotted throughout the property define the boundary of this historic place, which was once an integral part of an important scenic rural road and a bustling resource village. The property remains linked to its surroundings, including the historic access road to the lost village of Sixteen Hollow; Sixteen Mile Creek ravine and valley including Lions Valley Park and, the surrounding 20th and 21st century suburban neighbourhoods.

REPORT
Heritage Oakville Advisory Committee
Meeting Date: August 24, 2021
FROM: Planning Services Department
DATE: August 17, 2021
SUBJECT: Old Oakville Heritage Conservation District Work Plan
LOCATION: Multiple addresses WARD: Ward 3 Page 1
RECOMMENDATION:
That the report ‘Old Oakville Heritage Conservation District Work Plan’ by the Planning Services Department dated August 17, 2021, be received.
KEY FACTS:
The following are key points for consideration with respect to this report:
The Old Oakville Heritage Conservation District Plan was adopted by Oakville Town Council on July 7, 1980 with the stipulation that the document was to be a policy document for the administration of alterations to buildings in the district. The Ministry of Citizenship and Culture subsequently endorsed the document on February 16, 1981.
By-laws 1981-144 and 1982-44, which designated the area from Allan Street to the 16 Mile Creek and between Lake Ontario and the southerly lot lines of the properties fronting onto Robinson Street, were approved by the Ontario Municipal Board on July 5, 1982.
The Old Oakville Heritage Conservation District Plan has ensured the continued conservation of the cultural heritage value and character of this area for the past 40 years. However, an update to the Plan is required to meet current legislation as the Ontario Heritage Act has had two significant updates in 2005 and 2021.
The update to the Old Oakville Heritage Conservation District includes an update of the Heritage Conservation District Study and will require extensive public consultation for a new Plan and Guidelines.

BACKGROUND:
Established in 1981, the Old Oakville Heritage Conservation District is Oakville's first designated district, and one of the first in Ontario. This historically significant district extends south of Robinson Street to the lakefront from the Sixteen Mile Creek in the west to Allan Street in the east. The district boasts early vernacular homes, nineteenth-century lakeside cottages, turn-of-the-century luxury houses and churches. Architectural styles are diverse and include 19th-century Georgian, Neo-Classical, Victorian and Classical Revival, many of which are a vernacular interpretation of the style. The intimate atmosphere of the Old Oakville Heritage District provides two picturesque waterfront parks, Dingle and Lakeside Park, as well as Oakville Museum at Erchless Estate. The Old Oakville Heritage Conservation District Plan has served the community well for 40 years and has been instrumental in maintaining the unique character of this residential area. With changes to the Ontario Heritage Act in 2005 and 2021, the Plan requires updating to meet the requirements of current legislation. There is no process in the Ontario Heritage Act to update existing heritage conservation district plans and therefore the full process for the creation of a heritage conservation must be followed.
COMMENT/OPTIONS:
The heritage conservation district process begins with the study of the area. The Ontario Heritage Act requires the following for a study under 40(2):
(a) examine the character and appearance of the area that is the subject of the study, including buildings, structures and other property features of the area, to determine if the area should be preserved as a heritage conservation district; (b) examine and make recommendations as to the geographic boundaries of the area to be designated; (c) consider and make recommendations as to the objectives of the designation and the content of the heritage conservation district plan required under section 41.1; (d) make recommendations as to any changes that will be required to the municipality’s official plan and to any municipal by-laws, including any zoning by-laws. 2005, c. 6. s. 29.

__________________________________________________________________________________________
The study for the existing Old Oakville Heritage Conservation District was completed in 1979-1980 and requires updated information to meet these requirements. Much of the historical research completed for the study will be re-used, but the inventory of individual properties requires updating and examination of the overall heritage character of the area will need to be undertaken. Heritage planning staff will be able to undertake the study largely in-house, similar to the approach for the update to the First and Second Street Heritage Conservation District in 2015. This includes preparing basic inventory forms for each property, an assessment of the cultural heritage value of the area and an examination of the existing boundary and planning/zoning permissions in the area. The existing Old Oakville Heritage Conservation District Plan will remain in place during the update of the study and plan and heritage permits will continue to be processed according to that plan until a new heritage conservation district plan is fully in place. There will be no period of time without heritage conservation measures in place. Public Engagement during the Study Heritage planning staff will notify all property owners in the Old Oakville Heritage Conservation District that the process to review and update the existing district, including the study, plan and guidelines will begin in early fall 2021. Property owners will be given the opportunity to sign up for continued information about the district update progress and participate in future consultation sessions. Public engagement in the study phase of the project will likely be restricted to electronic communication and information sharing. Stakeholders in the Old Oakville area, including property owners and residents associations, the Oakville Museum, the Oakville Historical Society, and those who work in the area, including realtors, architects and planners, will be asked to provide any information regarding the history of the area and properties within it. The public engagement strategy for the creation of the new plan and guidelines will be led by the town’s consultant in the next steps of the project. It is anticipated that this portion of the district update will require extensive public engagement with area stakeholders. The public engagement strategy will be designed to include all those who want to participate in an open and transparent process. For those who are not active participants, information will be circulated on a regular basis to all those who sign up to receive update from the Town.

__________________________________________________________________________________________
Next Steps Following the drafting of the updated study, which is anticipated in late 2021, it is recommended that a Request for Proposals be undertaken through the Town’s Purchasing process to retain a consulting team to take the lead on the creation of a new heritage conservation district plan, including the public engagement strategy to ensure that property owners and other stakeholders are an integral part of the update process. The updated district plan will include the following requirements of s.41.1 (5) of the Ontario Heritage Act:
(a) a statement of the objectives to be achieved in designating the area as a heritage conservation district; (b) a statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the heritage conservation district; (c) a description of the heritage attributes of the heritage conservation district and of properties in the district; (d) policy statements, guidelines and procedures for achieving the stated objectives and managing change in the heritage conservation district; and (e) a description of the alterations or classes of alterations that are minor in nature and that the owner of property in the heritage conservation district may carry out or permit to be carried out on any part of the property, other than the interior of any structure or building on the property, without obtaining a permit under section 42. 2005, c. 6, s. 31.
The proposed draft schedule for the process of updating the study and heritage conservation district plan are attached as Schedule ‘A’. This draft schedule will be refined as the consulting team comes on board and the public engagement strategy is finalized.
