THAT pursuant to the Conservation Review Board
recommendation dated September 22, 2004, Council pass the attached by-law (Appendix
‘C’) designating the Menno Raymer House at 9404 Highway 48 under Part IV of the

PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report is to advise Council
of the Conservation Review Board’s findings and recommendations with respect to
the Town of Markham’s intention to designate the Menno Raymer House at 9404
Highway 48 as a property of cultural heritage value and interest under Part IV
of the Ontario Heritage Act.
BACKGROUND:
Council recommended the subject property for heritage designation
On September 30, 2003, based on the recommendation of Heritage Markham,
Council passed an Intention to Designate 9404 Highway 48 as a property of
cultural heritage value and interest under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage
Act. The owner filed an objection to
the Intention to Designate, which resulted in Council at its meeting of November 25,
2003, referring this matter to the
Conservation Review Board for a hearing, in accordance with the legislation.
The Owner filed an objection to the Intention to Designate, triggering
the need to hold a hearing before the Conservation Review Board
Pursuant to Section 29(8) of the Ontario
Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter 0.18 (as amended), the Conservation
Review Board held a hearing in the Town of Markham on September 22, 2004,
concerning Council’s Intention to Designate 9404 Highway 48, The Menno Raymer
House, under Part IV of the Act.
The
Conservation Review Board recommendation upholds the Town’s position
In a report dated September 22,
2004, the Conservation Review Board
recommends that Council designate 9404 Highway 48 under the Ontario Heritage
Act. A copy of the report is attached as Appendix ‘A.’
Heritage Markham supports the recommendation of the Conservation Review
Board
Heritage Markham received the report of the Conservation Review Board
at the November 10, 2004 meeting
and passed the following recommendation:
THAT
Heritage Markham recommends to Council that the findings of the Conservation
Review Board with respect to 9404 Highway 48 be accepted, and a by-law be
passed to designate the property under the Ontario Heritage Act. (See
Heritage Markham Extract, Appendix ‘B’).
OPTIONS/DISCUSSION:
The recommendation of the Conservation Review
Board upholds the Town of Markham’s position that the subject property is worthy of protection and
designation under the Ontario Heritage Act. It is therefore recommended that the
designation process now be completed through Council passing the attached
by-law (Appendix ‘C’) to designate 9404 Highway 48 under Part IV of the Ontario
Heritage Act.

will require the Clerk’s Department to complete the designation process and
