HOUSE AND DETACHED GARAGE
MS. IRINA GORDON
179 JOHN STREET
THORNHILL HERITAGE
CONSERVATION DISTRICT (10.0, 16.11)
Report Attachment
Mr. Karl Mahler, local
resident, addressed the Committee with respect to the demolition application for
179 John Street. Mr.
Mahler supports staff recommendation to deny the demolition application but,
supports altered plans for renovations and extensions of the existing
structure.
Mr. Bill Wylie, local
resident, addressed the Committee with respect to the demolition application
for 179 John Street. He
also supports staff recommendation to refuse the demolition application.
Mr. Andrew
Forensic, Walker Nott, Dragilevic and Associates representing the owner, Ms.
Irina Gordon, of 179 John Street addressed the Committee with
respect to the demolition application.
Mr. Forensic advised the Committee Ms. Gordon purchased the property one
year ago and has spent approximately $27,000.00 in renovations in efforts to
bring the house up to code. He also
advised the Committee this building is categorized as a “C” class building
within the new Thornhill Heritage Conservation District Plan and demolition of
C Class buildings are considered on a case-by-case basis. Mr. Forensic suggested the Committee consider
the following factors: health issues
with respect to mould, asbestos, lead; electrical would have to be re-wired to
bring it up to code; and the dwelling is not very visible from the street due
to the mature trees on the front of the property. Mr. Forensic presented the Committee with the
design and elevation of the new building Ms. Gordon is proposing to build. He has been in consultation with Town staff
and changed the design from a three car garage to a two car. Mr. Forensic also stated the proposed design
has some minor technical variances associated to it.
The Committee
enquired if Ms. Gordon had the house inspected prior to purchasing it. Ms. Gordon advised that the house was
inspected prior to her purchasing and it was inspected again after they had
moved in by Mr. Richard Shmit, Castle Group Building Inspection. Mr. Shmit inspected the house after the
renovations were completed and found the following: moisture penetrating creating mould; asbestos
to be removed; electrical to be re-wired and would have to trench around the
whole foundation of the building. The
Committee believes the existing dwelling is repairable and Ms. Gordon can work
together with Town staff to preserve the original building and build on to it.
Ms. Marion
Matthias, local resident, addressed the Committee with respect to the
demolition application for 179 John Street.
She is in support with the staff recommendation to refuse the
application and in favour of a compatible addition.
Ms. Judith Dawson, local
resident, addressed the Committee with respect to the demolition application
for 179 John Street. Ms. Dawson is in
support of the staff recommendation to refuse the application.
The Committee
stated that it appears many of the Thornhill residents do not agree with the
“C” class buildings within the new Thornhill Heritage Conservation District
Plan and enquired if there is an approach that can be taken to help avoid
confrontational meetings every time.
Staff advised the newly adopted Thornhill Heritage Conservation District
Plan has guidelines in place to be followed when considering a “C” class
building.

V. Burke
Seconded by
