14.       DEMOLITION PERMIT APPLICATION
            26 ALBERT STREET
            MARKHAM VILLAGE HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT
            MICHAEL CRABTREE (OWNER) (10.0 & 16.11)

            Report

 

Jim Baird, Commissioner of Development Services provided an overview of the demolition application by the owner of 26 Albert Street.

 

Michael Crabtree, owner of 26 Albert Street since 2010, gave a presentation to the Committee regarding the history of the property and the subject garage structure, including Property Standards Orders issued for the property and dwelling over several years, and his efforts to protect the building. Mr. Crabtree entered into a Heritage Easement Agreement in 2010, at the time estimating the cost of restoration at between $70,000 and $90,000. Mr. Crabtree has estimated a cost of $120,000 and an Engineering Report does not support restoration. Mr. Crabtree subsequently applied for a demolition permit with the intention of replacing the garage with a new structure. Mr. Crabtree noted clause 2.4 of the Easement Agreement regarding impractical repair due to the financial costs, and questioned the responsibility of the previous owner and the municipality with respect to enforcement of the Property Standards Orders.

 

Larry Bond, area resident, stated that he supports heritage preservation. Mr. Bond referred to   numerous complaints regarding the deterioration of the subject building since 1980 and he advised of a petition of 87 signatures from neighbours supporting demolition, as it has become an eyesore.

 

Barry Nelson, a member of the Heritage Markham Committee, but speaking as a resident, stated that significant time and effort has been spent on this matter. Mr. Nelson stated that Heritage Markham considers demolition permits very carefully and have approved others in the past; however, the immense value of this structure and the quality of the expert opinions provided by the members of the Heritage Markham Committee, should be considered. Mr. Nelson also discussed By-law Enforcement issues.

 

Regan Hutcheson, Manager of Heritage Planning, gave a presentation of the historical value of the building built in 1865 and displayed photos from 1994 to 2013, illustrating the progressive deterioration. Mr. Regan advised that staff had worked with By-law Enforcement and the previous owner in 2005 and 2007 regarding Property Standards issues, and that Council had agreed to changes to the structure and the use to accommodate the owners. Revised drawings for the site plan application in 2010 are still outstanding from Mr. Crabtree.

 

Mr. Hutcheson discussed demolition by neglect and displayed photos of restorations for similar situations in other Heritage districts. It was noted that the owner could consider options for other uses besides a garage, or could attach the structure as part of the main dwelling.


 

The Committee discussed contractual obligations and options available to the City to enforce the agreement and ensure compliance to preserve authentic heritage. The Committee discussed the timing for the heritage classification of the property, and a previous demolition approval with conditions that was rescinded when conditions were not met within 7 years.

Options were considered including the City undertaking exterior restoration and charging it back to the owner, which is permitted under the Municipal Act, relocation of the building to Markham’s Heritage Estates, and drawing on Letters of Credit. The Manager of Heritage Planning advised the building would generally meet the requirements for placement in the Estates.

 

Some Committee members considered the building to be beyond restoration, citing the engineer’s report, and that the cost is unreasonable. It was noted that the Markham Building Department had reviewed the applicant’s engineers report and concluded that the Building Code permits structures to remain as-is providing the loading is restricted to the loading the floor will support. Further, existing timber framing could be retained and is not required to be modified or upgraded to meet Part 1 of the Code which provides much flexibility for the retention of the existing heritage structure. Some Committee members suggested contractual obligations must be adhered to and the onus is on Council to protect the City’s heritage.

 

The Committee stated support for Heritage staff and policies, and expressed concern for the implications going forward. It was suggested that By-law Enforcement and Building Permit procedures be reviewed.

 

The Committee considered approval of the permit on the condition that the owner advertise the building for sale for $1, for relocation, until the Development Services Committee meeting on June 19, 2013. Staff advised that a decision is required by Council by April 30, unless the applicant agrees to an extension of the Demolition Permit. Mr. Crabtree agreed to extend the Demolition Permit to June 19, 2013. Mr. Crabtree was directed to advertise the sale extensively, including in the Toronto Star, and to use the list of interested purchasers available from heritage staff. Mr. Crabtree agreed to the proviso that demolition would not occur until after the advertising deadline of June 19, 2013.

 

A motion to require Mr. Crabtree to pay $70,000 towards the restoration of the building in the event of relocation by others (the amount acknowledged for restoration costs at the time the Agreement was signed in 2010) was lost.
