SC 03 105 5U5
180 MAIN STREET N. (BULLOCH)
TWELVE TOWNHOUSES (16.11)
Extracts: Manager, Heritage Planning
G & L Group Limited
Representatives from G & L Group Limited were in attendance with respect to the proposal for 12 townhouses at the corner of Bulloch and Main Street. It was noted that elevations for the proposed town-homes were supplied to the Town and the applicant is now seeking direction from Heritage Markham.
The Manager, Heritage Planning, advised that staff have held pre-consultation meeting with the applicant to review the drawings. The recommendations of Town (Heritage Section) staff provide for a simplification of the architectural details in the town-homes. This simplified vernacular would be in keeping with the architecture of the large single homes in the area. Grouping the units to appear as 3 larger units rather than a block of 6 townhouses would also complement the general massing of the neighbourhood. Suggestions for the rear elevation, that can be seen from Water Street, were: traditional dormers, double hung windows, stoops over the doors and French doors.
The representatives from G & L Group Limited indicated that the suggestions of staff will be taken into consideration. They noted that they have no concerns with blending in the heritage styles but also wanted to incorporate something new and fresh into the designs. They further indicated that a maintenance free exterior is desired by purchaser (the committee noted that there were many traditional exterior products that are maintenance free for 20/25 years). They advised that they would attend the Architectural Review Sub-Committee with their architect.
HERITAGE MARKHAM RECOMMENDS:
THAT the material regarding 180 Main Street N. (Bulloch) – twelve townhouses, be received as information;
AND THAT the proposal be referred to the Architectural Review Sub-Committee for review of the architectural details of the town-homes.
CARRIED.

CONVERSION OF BARN TO DWELLING (16.11)
Extracts: Manager, Heritage Planning
Mr.
Fred Watt
Fred Watt and Joyce Nelson-Watt distributed a copy of their barn conversion proposal to the Committee. They noted that as much of the original barn as possible would be retained. The stone foundation would be numbered, removed, and then replaced over a pour cement foundation. The exterior boards would be removed and reinstalled after the walls were insulated (if the siding is not removed the structure could not be waterproofed with a moisture barrier). Old doors, square nails, hand-forged hinges, etcetera would be used to retain the historical integrity of the structure.
Note: The following motion and additional information is contained in
Item #7.
HERITAGE MARKHAM RECOMMENDS:
THAT consideration of the restoration options for the Lunau Barn be referred to a special meeting of the Architectural Review Sub-Committee with authority to approve;

LUNAU BARN - RESTORATION OPTIONS
Extracts: Manager, Heritage Planning
Mike Bradshaw
Paul Nodwell
The Manager, Heritage Planning, indicated that three proposals have been put forward for the Lunau Barn:
1) Paul Nodwell, prospective purchaser who wishes to restore the Lunau Barn for use as a residence.
2) Mike Bradshaw, prospective purchaser, who wishes to move the Lunau Barn to another site in the heritage estates for use as a garage.
3) Fred Watt and Joyce Nelson-Watt, prospective purchasers, who wish to restore the Lunau Barn for use as a residence.
The three submissions were reviewed by the Committee. Since Mike Bradshaw was unable to attend the Heritage Markham meeting, his letter dated February 7, 2003, was read into the record by the Chair, Julie Christian. Mr. Bradshaw indicated his desire to keep the barn as a barn and use it as a garage on his property. He suggested that his first choice would be to keep the barn on site and used as a barn. However, if this is not possible he asked for the Committee’s support of his proposal that would keep the barn as a barn on a new site.
It was noted that, in the past, Heritage Markham has supported the following:
1) original use on the original site
2) compatible use on the original site
3) relocating the structure at a different location on the site
4) relocating the structure to a different site
The Manager, Heritage Planning, provided the following history with respect to expressions of interest relating to the Lunau Barn:
- Paul Nodwell approached the Town in 2000 to convert the barn to a residence
- A request for expressions of interest was advertised by the Town in the Fall of 2002
- Catherine Tredway has expressed an interest in converting the barn for residential use in December 2002 but withdrew in January 2003
- Mike Bradshaw has expressed interest in moving the barn to his lot in the Markham Heritage Estates and using the structure for a garage
- Fred Watt has recently expressed an interest in converting the barn for residential use
At the January, 22, 2003 Architectural Review Sub-Committee meeting, the Committee reviewed three restoration options and suggested the requirements from a heritage perspective. The three options were:
1. Preservation of barn of existing site as a residence.
2. Relocation of barn to another site as a garage.
3. Preservation of barn on existing site in a passive use with minimal alterations.
The Manager, Heritage Planning, indicated that staff are required to prepare a report for Council and recommend the approach to be taken with respect to the Lunau Barn. He noted that the C.A.O. for the Town is seeking direction from Heritage Markham with respect to this issue. He asked the Committee if there is a preferred option: leave on site? Usage? Relocation?
Paul Nodwell indicated his interest in retaining the barn on site and converting it to a residence. He noted that the barn would be kept as close as possible to its original state. He supported retention of the barn on site. He noted that he would develop the site to complement the barn with distinctive agricultural landscaping. He has investigated the building code issues with the Town’s building department and retained a structural engineer to determine the barn’s structural stability. He noted that the barn would not provide a bright airy residence but would provide a dramatic living space where the darkness can be compensated with artificial light. He indicated that he would insulate under the roof and on the exterior of the barn. Cost of interior insulation would be prohibitive.
Fred Watt and Joyce Nelson-Watt distributed a copy of their barn conversion proposal to the Committee. They noted that as much of the original barn as possible would be retained. The stone foundation would be numbered, removed, and then replaced over a pour cement foundation. The exterior boards would be removed and reinstalled after the walls were insulated (if the siding is not removed the structure could not be waterproofed with a moisture barrier). Old doors, square nails, hand-forged hinges, etcetera would be used to retain the historical integrity of the structure.
HERITAGE MARKHAM RECOMMENDS:
THAT consideration of the restoration options for the Lunau Barn be
referred to a special meeting of the Architectural Review Sub-Committee with
authority to approve;
AND THAT all members of Heritage Markham be urged to attend this special
meeting;
AND THAT Town (Heritage Section) staff be requested to arrange for the
special meeting as soon as possible.
CARRIED.

Extracts: Manager, Heritage Planning
Mr.
Bob Martindale, Agent
Mr. Bob Martindale, agent for the owner, was in attendance with respect to the recommendation of the Architectural Review Sub-Committee regarding the designation of 31 Helen Avenue. Mr. Martindale noted that he has reviewed the recommendation and requested that Heritage Markham defer consideration of this matter for one month. He advised that the owner has retained an architectural consultant and this consultant has indicated the need for some time to review the details of the property.
It was noted that the Architectural Review Sub-Committee has conducted a site visit to this property and that heritage staff has researched the home and determined that there is historical and architectural evidence to support the recommended designation.

16. REQUEST FOR FEEDBACK
8 WISMER PLACE
PROPOSED RESTORATION AND ADDITION - WILLMOT BRUMWELL HOUSE (16.11)
Extracts: Manager, Heritage Planning
Scott Rushlow
Mr. & Mrs. Kelly
Scott Rushlow, Kim Morgan and Chris Kelly were in attendance to discuss the proposed restoration and addition for 8 Wismer Place – the Willmot Brumwell House. They requested direction from Heritage Markham with respect to the proposed addition. It was pointed out that the lot coverage including the proposed addition is 14% (including the garage).
The Manager, Heritage Planning, noted that the Zoning Standards By-law (By-law 1229) provides for a maximum gross ground floor area of 1496 square feet. The existing gross ground floor area of 8 Wismer Place is 1321.8 square feet (including the veranda). The gross ground floor area of the house with the proposed addition would be 2945 square feet. He noted that, with the proposed addition, it would be the largest house in the Markham Heritage Estates.
Scott Rushlow, agent for the applicants, noted that the addition follows the existing roofline and very little of the addition is visible from the street. The existing home contains 3100 square feet of living space and the proposed addition is 980 square feet. He pointed out that there are homes in the area with a higher square footage. He suggested that a redesign to eliminate a section of the addition and landscaping to soften the massing of the addition might address the concerns of the committee.
The Senior Planner, Heritage and Conservation, noted that the width of the proposed addition extends beyond the house. This does not conform to the guidelines for the Heritage Estates. It was suggested that information is required as to the dimensions of the addition indicating what is living space, what is veranda and what is gazebo.
The committee indicated its concerns with the fact that the gross ground floor area, with the proposed addition, would exceed the by-law. However, the applicants were informed that some form of addition would be supported dependant on the size, design and landscaping. The applicants were encouraged to consider a traditional porch at the rear of the home that would reduce the overall mass of the house. It was pointed out that fieldstone would be required on the exterior of the basement where there is no veranda.
HERITAGE MARKHAM RECOMMENDS:
THAT the concept elevations for the proposed restoration of the Willmot
Brumwell House at 8 Wismer Place be received;
AND THAT the matter be referred to the Architectural Review
Sub-Committee for further review;
AND THAT the applicant be requested to provide revised drawings
reflecting the comments of Heritage Markham that included:
-
Details of the reduced size of the dwelling, the addition and the verandas;
-
Details of the site relationship to the adjoining buildings on Wismer
Place;
-
Details of how landscaping could be used to reduce the perceived mass
of the dwelling.
