Okay, you may begin. Okay, thank you Samantha. And call

Of them, 203. Called order, and I'll read off this

[0:38]

[0:41]

[0:44]
mayor and council, we would like to thank them for
[0:46]
sharing this land. We would also like to acknowledge the
[0:49]
Chippewasa Georgina Island. First Nation as our close neighbours and
[0:55]

[0:57]
and respectful relationship. We also recognise the unique relationship with
[1:02]
the chippe was hat at the Chippewas have with the

[1:18]
this point. Yes, thank you. All members are present with
[1:21]
exception of Wayne Morgan and Italian. Thank you very much.
[1:27]
Community announcements. I don't believe we have any. Okay, that's
[1:35]
good. There's no community announcements. Introduction of addendum items. We
[1:39]
don't have any of those. And the approval of the
[1:42]
agenda, I know the agenda's been circulated on the internet.
[1:46]
Electronically. I hope everyone's had a chance to look at
[1:50]
that. Uh, I would need a motion to accept the
[1:57]
agenda as it is being circulated. Omotion. Thank you, Mr.
[2:04]
Lacombe. I need a secondary for that. Council Bigger, Seth.
[2:09]
Thank you for sacking me that. So the motion's been
[2:12]
made and properly seconded that, uh, the agenda to be
[2:15]
approved as it has been circulated. All those in favor.
[2:20]
Myself included. Thank you. Uh, Declaration of Pecuniary Interest and
[2:26]
General Nates were there of, I certainly don't have anything.
[2:30]
I don't, I can't have my doubts anybody would. All
[2:33]
right. Thank you. Um, and the adoption of the minutes,
[2:38]
uh. Gain is part of the agenda that was circulated.
[2:41]
The minutes from our last meeting on July the 27th.
[2:45]
Uh, were included in there. Uh, I had a chance
[2:47]
to read them. I think they're perfect. Everybody else had
[2:55]
an opportunity to go through those minutes. Okay. And if
[3:00]
so, then I would need a motion to accept the
[3:04]
minutes as they have been circulated. I'll make the motion
[3:13]
again. Mr. Lecombe, I knew you were dying to make
[3:15]
that motion. Thank you. And I need a second door
[3:19]
for that. And. It'll counts a bigger staff is smiling
[3:27]
there. I think she just seconded thank you. Yeah. I
[3:30]
was just trying to be, um, make sure that everyone's
[3:32]
getting an opportunity. That's all. Okay. Thank you. So the,
[3:39]
um, minute set of encirculated have been the motion that
[3:43]
we accept them as they are adopt them as they
[3:46]
have been circulated. Roughly seconded, all those in favor. Thank
[3:52]
you so much, myself as well. Um, our date of
[3:57]
speakers. I don't think we have any tonight. Or this
[4:01]
afternoon. Um, delegations and petitions, same thing. Nothing there presentations.
[4:08]
No. And we're into part 11, which is reports.
[4:19]
And there are no reports, but it kind of leads
[4:22]
into the general information items that we have regarding this
[4:26]
request for a demolition permit. And, uh, Alan, I think
[4:31]
you would like to speak to this. Good afternoon, um,
[4:39]
Mr. Chairman members of the committee. Thank you for meeting
[4:43]
on short notice in the day of summer. Um, I
[4:46]
think the, uh, memo, we have, uh, prepared for you
[4:50]
today outlines why we've asked you to come and, uh,
[4:54]
meet on this item. It relates to a recent Demolition
[4:59]
permit by the York region district school board. For the
[5:04]
Demolition of a portable building. Associated with the, uh, deer
[5:08]
park elementary school. Uh, and, um, as the memo explains,
[5:15]
uh, the site, at least the main, uh, historic portion
[5:19]
of the school constructed in 1913 expanded in 1930. Was
[5:27]
designated by the council in 2009 as a property of
[5:32]
cultural heritage, uh, value. Um, and, um. As such, it's
[5:40]
protected under the Ontario Heritage Act. And with respect to,
[5:46]
uh, Demolition permits on the same property as a, um.
[5:51]
Uh, designated building, the act as is going to the
[5:55]
memo requires that, um, uh, the council, uh, approve any
[6:01]
demolition permit. And it also requires that the council consult
[6:06]
with this heritage committee F - 1 has established before
[6:09]
giving that approval, hence this meeting here today. Um, so
[6:14]
staff have looked at this, um, and can't come to
[6:17]
the conclusion that, um, the, uh, portable building is, uh,
[6:23]
of no cultural heritage value, uh, to the original, um,
[6:28]
heritage bylaw. I believe that the Ontario Heritage Act had
[6:31]
originally, uh, instituted these sorts of requirements. And in the
[6:35]
event that there were some sort of associated relationship of
[6:39]
a demolished building on the site to the protected feature
[6:43]
so that the council would have the opportunity to take
[6:46]
some action if it felt it was appropriate. In this
[6:49]
case, uh, staff, uh, do not think that there's any,
[6:53]
uh, meaningful relationship of this portable building to the original
[6:56]
school building. And we've recommended that the Heritage Committee passed
[7:02]
a resolution advising council that it has no objection to
[7:05]
the Demolition permit. Mr. Dillaboa chief building official is here.
[7:10]
If you have any questions, and I'm also here, if
[7:13]
you have any questions of myself, thank you very much,
[7:17]
Mr. Chairman. Thank you very much, Alan. Um, to the
[7:21]
committee, would anybody have any questions for Mr. Delvo or
[7:24]
for on? Yes. Ron. Yeah. Uh, yesterday I did a
[7:28]
drive - by and I had a look and looking
[7:31]
at the plan, the site plan shows the two portables
[7:35]
almost the same with the one is like four or
[7:38]
five together. And then the other one's a smaller one.
[7:41]
And the red line sort of is over the smaller
[7:44]
one I see, but the other one is out of
[7:48]
sync, the actual, what I saw. Just want to make
[7:52]
sure which one I was. So Mr. Lacombe, you're referring
[7:59]
to the diagram. And yeah, I know the several buildings
[8:02]
on there. Yeah. You just want some clarity as to
[8:05]
which one it is. Yeah. If I'm allowed to share
[8:10]
my screen here, Samantha, I can, I can refer to
[8:14]
the plan. Yes. You should have sharing permissions. Okay.
[8:25]
So here's Varnity Road. There's deer. Park drive. The building
[8:33]
in question is the most westerly of the two buildings.
[8:40]
Um, that are on the. Property. There's the original school.
[8:44]
And as I look from Varney Road, uh, to the
[8:50]
east, you can see the building in question here, which
[8:53]
is the westerly of the two portable buildings. Thank you
[9:00]
very much for that. Does that, uh, does that help
[9:03]
Mr. Lickle? Yeah. Now I see, I figured it was
[9:06]
a smaller one. I just wanted to make sure. Thank
[9:08]
you. Thank you very much. I know Mr. Dillable is
[9:18]
on, on our screen here. Did any of the committee
[9:21]
would like to ask Mr. Dilloble anything. No, everybody's good.
[9:29]
Yeah. I'm a little bit familiar with the property myself.
[9:31]
I was on the committee when it was designated. And
[9:34]
we did a bit of a study on it at
[9:36]
that time. If anything, I think the portable probably takes
[9:39]
away from the heritage value of the place. So I'm
[9:43]
quite okay with it. But the committee have anything else.
[9:50]
They'd like to have any other inquiries or any concerns
[9:52]
regarding this demolition permit. No. No. By this good.
[10:03]
In that case, I think what we need is a
[10:06]
motion to accept the staff information. The staff report. And
[10:12]
I'll allow that to go ahead to counsel.
[10:22]
I'm happy to move if you'd like. Thank you council
[10:27]
again. I appreciate that. And I need a second here
[10:29]
for that. And I see Ron waving. Yeah. Very good.
[10:31]
Thanks, Ron. So the motion has been made that, uh,
[10:37]
and property seconded that we accept the staff information that
[10:42]
they can go ahead with the Demolition permit. And that
[10:45]
information can go to council. All those in favor of
[10:48]
that motion. Myself as well. Thank you very, very much.
[10:55]
I think that. S getting pretty clear here. What else
[11:01]
can we go from here? I don't think do we
[11:04]
have any notices of motion or motions? I don't believe
[11:07]
so it does. We don't have another committee meeting. Or
[11:12]
other business. No. Closed session. Again, no. In that case,
[11:21]
we know what comes next. Short us MIDI meeting on,
[11:27]
uh, in history here. Council Bigger stuff, counts weekends. Um,
[11:32]
just one quick. Verbal goodbye again. This is, I had
[11:38]
a feeling this would be a relatively short one. It,
[11:41]
uh, straightforward kind of thing, but, uh, goodbye again. It
[11:44]
really has been in lightning and very, very rich in
[11:48]
knowledge. This committee. I've learned a lot in a very
[11:51]
short time. And I think councillor Gensch said it last
[11:54]
time. We did a lot in a short time. So
[11:56]
I would agree with that. So perhaps we might not
[11:59]
see each other again. Perhaps we will either way it's
[12:02]
always a joy. Well, thank you very much, Councillor Bigger
[12:06]
Steph. And, uh, I too, I'm on board with that.
[12:08]
I really appreciated it and enjoyed being part of this
[12:10]
committee. We just need a motion to adjourn folks.
[12:20]
Let Charlene do that in all second it. All right.
[12:25]
You got it. Thank you very much guys. And, uh,
[12:28]
have a good rest of the summer.
