Recommendations:
THAT notwithstanding the existing policies regarding the demolition of Type ‘B’ buildings contained in the Markham Village Heritage Conservation District Plan, Heritage Markham has no objection to the demolition of the existing detached dwelling and garage at 32 Joseph Street, subject to the owner obtaining Site Plan Approval for a new dwelling, as the existing building does not significantly contribute to the heritage character of the District;
AND THAT the future updating of the Markham Village Heritage Conservation District Plan provide greater clarity regarding the demolition of complementary buildings to provide greater certainty to the potential purchasers of these properties.
