ADJOURNEMNT The meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m. Draft TO: Rene Soetens As you are aware Heritage Pickering (LACAC) considers the Bentley property in Brougham to be of significant heritage value and worthy of preservation. However, as the property is located on federal lands, the Pickering Site assemblge acquired for locating an airport, the Town of Pickering was advised that designation of the property under the Ontario Heritage Act would not be appropriate. We were also advised that Public Works Canada was undertaking a heritage review, to be completed March 31, 1992, of the Pickering Site properties and that a federal heritage designation on the Bentley House was being sought. Heritage Pickering is frustrated with the lack of information received pertaining to, and progress on, both the heritage review and the federal heritage designation of the Bentley House. This frustration is exasperated by the proposed sale of some of these federal properties, potentially including the Bentley House property, prior to arrangements for the assured preservation of the property being resolved. We would appreciate your assisstance in clarifying the status of the heritage review and federal heritage designation of the Bentley House, and your continued support in assuring the preservation of the Bentley House through designation as a heritage property.
