PURPOSE:
To recommend to Council that the “Peter G.

designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural
heritage value and interest.
BACKGROUND:
The Purchase and Sale Agreement requires that the property be designated
under the Ontario Heritage Act
The Peter G. Mustard House, formerly located at
9615 9th Line, was relocated to Markham Heritage Estates in late
2003. In accordance with the terms of
the Purchase and Sale Agreement, Heritage Markham passed a resolution at their
meeting of May
12, 2004, that the property be designated under the Ontario
Heritage Act. Heritage Designation
is a standard requirement for all buildings that are relocated to Markham
Heritage Estates. The Reasons for
Designation are attached as Appendix “A,” and the Heritage Markham Extract is
attached as Appendix “B.”
DISCUSSION:
Designation ensures that the heritage building is protected
Designation under the Ontario Heritage Act
is a standard requirement for all buildings that are relocated to Markham
Heritage Estates. Heritage designation
provides both recognition of the cultural heritage significance of a property
as well as protection for its important architectural features. Heritage designation helps ensure that
restoration work is done to a high standard by informing the property owner
about what features are protected and by requiring that any alterations that
affect the Reasons for Designation be reviewed by Heritage Section Staff and
Heritage Markham, and approved by the Town.
Should Council decide to proceed with the recommendation
to designate 14 Alexander Hunter
Place under Part IV of the
Ontario Heritage Act, the Clerk should be authorized to:
*
publish and serve on the property owner, the Ontario Heritage Foundation
and the public
through a newspaper advertisement, Council’s notice of intention to
designate the property
as per
the requirements of the Act; and
*
prepare the designation by-law for the property.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
There are no financial implications to be
considered in this report.

prepare the designation by-law.
