The park is owned by the City of Pickering and has an area of approximately 1.59 hectares. The Whitevale Community Centre (Mary Christian House), a picnic shelter, a parking lot with access to the Seaton Hiking Trail, and the former Blacksmith Shop currently occupies the park (see Air Photo, Attachment #2). The Whitevale Park forms part of the Whitevale Heritage Conservation District (HCD), designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act by By-law 4074/92. The Blacksmith Shop The former Blacksmith Shop is not identified in the Whitevale HCD Guide as either a historic or non-historic building in the district. In the Whitevale HCD study, by Unterman McPhail Heritage Resource Consultants (1989), the structure was used by Norman Miller as a blacksmith's shop until the mid-1900s. It is possible that James Miller, father of Norman Miller, who was listed as occupying Lot 32, Concession 4 in the 1864 assessment rolls also used this structure as his blacksmith shop. Half of this shop was destroyed by fire in the early 1900s. The building is presently owned by the City of Pickering and is now derelict. Heritage Permit Application A Heritage Permit Application has been submitted by the City of Pickering (see Heritage Permit Application, Attachment #3). The City proposes to remove the Blacksmith shop and where possible, salvage wood and metal to be used in future museum collections or on City property in Whitevale. Structural Condition Assessment A Structural Assessment was prepared and submitted by Barry Bryan Associates, dated February 2018, with the Heritage Permit application (see Attachment #4, Structural Condition Assessment). - 5 - Page 2 of 5 March 15, 2022 Heritage Permit HP 01/22 At the time of the assessment, protective fencing/barriers were in place for safety measures and the consultants did not complete a full “intrusive” investigation, such as entering or testing the materials inside. Main observations from the report include: •severe deterioration of the wood roof decking; •lack of structural foundation or floor slab below the wood-frame structure, resulting in heaving of the structure and damage to the structural supporting elements above; •wood beams supporting the rafters experiencing significant rotting at several locations; and •wood beams appear to be in poor condition. The report concluded that the existing building is severely deteriorated and structurally not stable. The deterioration is a result of prolonged exposure to moisture, insects and limited maintenance. Demolition is recommended, with selective salvage of the original building component of historical significance. Artifacts of significance may be archived or included in the construction of a replacement structure. City Development staff requested that a qualified heritage consultant be retained to provide a full documentation plan and history of the structure. Staff also requested that salvageable materials be documented and that options for salvage or reuse be included in the report. Documentation and Salvage Plan A Documentation and Salvage Plan was prepared and submitted by Branch Architecture, dated January 2022 (see Attachment #5, Documentation & Salvage Plan). The report provides a full historical summary, physical description, photographs and elevation plans. The report also reviews potential materials and recommended opportunities for salvage. Additional historical information was provided by the heritage consultant. The Miller family settled in Pickering in the 1860s, where James Miller was employed as a blacksmith. Norman, their son, was born in Whitevale in 1869 and purchased a Blacksmith business in 1900 from Benjamin Ellison. He moved in with his family residing in the old Miller home west of the bridge in 1924, which is the current location of the blacksmith shop. Norman Miller also served as the first librarian of Whitevale Public Library until 1955. The roof of the building collapsed due to snow in 1945. It is generally understood that the Blacksmith Shop was relocated when Whitevale Road was widened. Branch Architecture recorded possible materials for salvage, including: •a weather girt with several ring fasteners along the east wall; •an area of the west wall covered in pressed metal tiles; •boards covered in a large number of nails from the mid-19th to early 20th centuries (tapered square nails, cut nails, and circular wire cut types); •a ring fastener at the floor; •simple metal chimney stack; and •large door openings, shelving. - 6 - Page 3 of 5 March 15, 2022 Heritage Permit HP 01/22 Salvage options, record photographs, drawings and floor plans were also provided. Branch Architecture recommends the following salvage options: 1.Wood elements: wood boards that are not at grade, floorboards or exterior planks are salvageable for reuse. These would be useful in undertaking repairs or restoration work at other City-owned heritage buildings. 2.Metal elements: as many of the metal elements found were handmade in response to an immediate need, they represent an authentic expression of the local blacksmith’s trade. Options for Salvage The City’s Operations Department has committed to the recommended salvage as proposed by Branch Architecture. Current options being explored by staff include: •preserving a collection of the metal tiles and other metal hardware from the exterior of the Blacksmith Shop at the museum for use in future exhibits; •future repairs are expected at the Whitevale Arts and Cultural Centre in 2022, where a display could be incorporated; •demolition contract will include the requirement to salvage materials from the demolition, to be turned over to the City, subject to the availability of suitable storage Whitevale HCD Guidelines and City of Pickering Official Plan An owner of a property wishing to alter or demolish a structure in a heritage conservation district must apply for a Heritage Permit with the municipality. A demolition permit of this nature is required to be approved by Council, after consultation with its Municipal Heritage Committee within 90 days of application (which may be extended with mutual agreement by the applicant). The Whitevale HCD guide provides guiding principles, and the following are applicable: Section 6.1.1 The heritage buildings described in this guide are to be preserved. Adaptive re-use is encouraged. The demolition of these buildings is strongly discouraged. Section 6.1.2 Maintenance repair and restoration of heritage buildings are encouraged. Section 6.1.6 Documented evidence of original features, such as historical pictures and physical samples, should form the basis for constructing replacement parts. Borrowing of features from other buildings is to be avoided. The City of Pickering Official Plan, Chapter 8, Cultural Heritage, states that City Council, in consultation with its Municipal Heritage Committee, shall discourage or prevent the demolition or inappropriate alteration of a heritage resource, but where demolition or inappropriate alteration is unavoidable: (i) consider the acquisition and conservation of the resource; and (ii) if acquisition is not possible, conduct a thorough review and documentation of the resource for archival purposes. - 7 - Page 4 of 5 March 15, 2022 Heritage Permit HP 01/22 City Development Staff Comments The Blacksmith Shop is not listed as a building with or without historical significance in the Whitevale HCD Guidelines. However, it is within a property included in the Whitevale HCD, and it has been a part of the fabric and story of Whitevale and cared for as much as possible by the City within Whitevale Park. The City of Pickering (the applicant) has not provided plans to repair the roof or provide a stable foundation and replace rotting wood or other structural elements. While structural integrity is not a defining factor of cultural heritage significance, the open building and roof pose a risk to public safety. The City has also reached out the Whitevale District Residents Association (WDRA) to present a business case for the restoration and reuse of the structure. Three years have passed and no business case has been provided. Demolition is the last resort. In times where demolition is proposed, best practices encourage proper documentation of the building and where possible, salvage of materials or other commemorative plans. At the request of City Development staff, the applicant has provided full documentation of the structure and filled in missing historical information, for archival purposes. Salvage of materials will be possible either on-site or through the Pickering Museum Village. Staff recommendation to Heritage Pickering Staff offer the following recommendations to the Committee: Heritage Pickering Advisory Committee recommends that Heritage Permit Application HP 01/22 be approved subject to the following conditions: 1.That a demolition plan is submitted to the satisfaction of the City Development Department including notes for salvage and storage of a selection of metal tiles, nails, ring fasteners (metals) and available wood materials; and 2.That an appropriate location for storage of materials is provided to the satisfaction of the City Development Department. Or Heritage Pickering Advisory Committee recommends that Heritage Permit Application HP 01/22 be refused. Next Steps As required by the Ontario Heritage Act, Council is required to either approve, approve with conditions or refuse an application to demolish or remove a structure on a designated heritage property within 90 days of receiving the application. - 8 - Page 5 of 5 March 15, 2022 Heritage Permit HP 01/22 The next step is for staff to prepare a report to the Planning & Development Committee meeting, which will include Heritage Pickering and staff recommendations. A final decision will be made at the earliest Council meeting thereafter.

The building is considered a historically significant building and is part of the Whitevale Heritage Conservation District. BBA conducted an initial site visit on November 21, 2017. The purpose of the site review was to review the existing condition of the structural components, identify any areas of structural concern and provide recommendations on any remedial repairs and/or replacements. The building was not inspected for hazardous materials. There were no reference drawings available for the existing building and site at the time of the inspection. Further, our report is based on visual observations made on site on the date of the review. We did not undertake any destructive or intrusive testing. - 18 - Structural Condition Assessment for the WHITEVALE PARK BLACKSMITH SHOP BBA PROJECT 17204 Barry Bryan Associates 2 | Page February 13, 2018 GENERAL BUILDING DESCRIPTION AND HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE The original building consists of timber frame construction and was likely constructed as a part of the Whitevale Community Centre (originally the Miller House). The Miller House was originally constructed between 1825 and 1835. The building is a single storey structure with approximately 300 square feet. The timber structure was originally constructed as the Norman Miller Blacksmith shop and is located at the north side of the Whitevale Community Centre, adjacent to the restored Whitevale Bridge. The building is no longer used as a blacksmith shop and appears to have been abandoned for several years. The original building structure generally consists of exposed heavy timber and wood rafters supported on wood beams and posts. The ground floor structure consisted of wood decking on grade. The basic roof structure consists of a tin roof which is supported on wood plank decking. The roof deck spans between rough cut 4”x4” heavy timber rafters spanning north/south which are spaced at approximately 4’-0” centre to centre. The rafters are complete with lateral struts at the ridge and are notched at the perimeter timber beams. The perimeter beams span a maximum of 8’-0” between rough cut timber posts and diagonal bracing. We observed the timber posts terminating to a perimeter wood grade beam. The building is complete with a gable roof which is supported on perimeter timber walls. Board and batten siding partially remained on the perimeter of the building. - 19 - Structural Condition Assessment for the WHITEVALE PARK BLACKSMITH SHOP BBA PROJECT 17204 Barry Bryan Associates 3 | Page February 13, 2018 OBSERVATIONS BBA did not enter the existing building as the building due to potential health and safety hazards. The building structure has been partially hoarded to prevent access by the general public. Our review was completed from safe accessible areas at the exterior of the building structure. Our observations include: • Severe deterioration of the wood roof decking was observed throughout the building structure allowing water infiltration into the building (Photos 001, 002). The deterioration appeared to be a result of the advanced deterioration of the tin roof above and continuous exposure to the elements. A tarp enclosure was secured to the top of the timber structure to prevent excessive water infiltration through the roof structure, however, the tarp presently appears to be in poor condition. • Severe water staining was noted at several locations on the underside of the wood roof decking, rafters, beams and posts (Photos 003, 004). This condition is typical for timber members exposed to consistent moist/damp conditions. The water/moisture appeared to have infiltrated through the deteriorated roofing membrane into the building interior. • The roof structure appeared to have been previously reinforced with lateral struts at several locations (Photo 005). The timber reinforcement appeared to be in good condition. • The timber structure was observed to be situated on concrete masonry block units at several locations along the perimeter of the building (Photos 006, 007). • The post for the timber structure appeared to be situated on a wood grade beam. There is no structural foundation or floor slab below the wood structure. Several areas of the wood floor decking appeared to be displaced and in poor condition (Photo 008). The absence of the foundations and excessive water/moisture infiltration into the building has resulted in the heaving of the structure and damage to the structural supporting elements above. • It was observed that a tarp enclosure was previously secured to the top of the exterior walls to protect the building from excessive water/moisture infiltration but has now since been cut/damaged, fully exposing the interior of the building structure to the elements (Photo 009, 010). The excessive water/moisture infiltration has resulted in the significant deterioration of the structural supporting members. • The tin roof was buckled and bowed in many areas allowing probable moisture infiltration into the structure (Photo 011) • The wood beams supporting the rafters appeared to be experiencing significant deterioration and rotting at several locations along its span (Photo 012). The wood beams appeared to be in poor condition. This is likely a result of the continuous exposure to moisture and condensation below the roof. • The wood soffit and fascia is severely deteriorated due to persistent exposure to weather (Photo 013). - 20 - - 21 - Structural Condition Assessment for the WHITEVALE PARK BLACKSMITH SHOP BBA PROJECT 17204 APPENDIX PHOTOGRAPHS - 22 - Structural Condition Assessment for the WHITEVALE PARK BLACKSMITH SHOP BBA PROJECT 17204 Photo 001 Deteriorated Wood Deck Photo 002 Deteriorated Wood Deck Photo 003 Water Staining Photo 004 Water Staining - 23 - Structural Condition Assessment for the WHITEVALE PARK BLACKSMITH SHOP BBA PROJECT 17204 Photo 005 Reinforced Roof Structure Photo 006 Masonry Block Units at Grade Photo 007 Masonry Block Units at Grade Photo 008 Deteriorated Wood Floor Deck - 24 - Structural Condition Assessment for the WHITEVALE PARK BLACKSMITH SHOP BBA PROJECT 17204 Photo 009 Damaged Tarp Enclosure Photo 010 Damaged Tarp Enclosure Photo 011 Damaged Tin Roof Photo 012 Deteriorated Beam - 25 - Structural Condition Assessment for the WHITEVALE PARK BLACKSMITH SHOP BBA PROJECT 17204 Photo 013 Deteriorated Wood Soffit and Fascia - 26 - BLACKSMITH SHOP: DOCUMENTATION + SALVAGE PLAN WHITEVALE PARK PICKERING, ONTARIO Attachment #5 - 27 - Cover Image: Blacksmith Shop, 2021.

The City of Pickering intends to demolish the former Blacksmith Shop at the Whitevale Park. This decision was informed by the Structural Condition Assessment of the building by Barry Bryan Associates (February 2018). The assessment (based on a visual review of the structure) determined that “the existing building structure is severely deteriorated and structural not stable” as a result of prolonged expo- sure to moisture, insects and limited maintenance. The report recommended that the City develop a demolition procedure that included salvaging select building components of historical significance. Branch Architecture visited the site on November 18, 2021. This visit included a visual review of the building, both interior and exterior. This work was completed with respect to the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit and the Parks Canada Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada as well as other charters and guidelines that exemplify heritage best practice. - 31 - 2 BLACKSMITH SHOP, WHITEVALE PARK 3. Part of Ontario County Map by George R. Tremaine, 1860. (University of Toronto) 4. Part of the Village of Whitevale map showing select buildings and the lot subdivision plan, 1877. (Illustrated Historical Atlas of Pickering Township) - 32 - 3DOCUMENTATION + SALVAGE PLAN Whitevale Park, where the former Blacksmith Shop resides, forms part of the Whitevale Heritage Conservation District (HCD) and is protected under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act under by-law 4074/92 dated June 7, 1993. The park is located on the south side of Whitevale Road, directly west of the creek. According to the Background Report of the Hamlet of Whitevale Heritage Conservation District Study by Unterman McPhail Heritage Resource Consultants (August 1989), the building was constructed in the 1860s. The Study provides the following description for the property: Used by Norman Miller as a blacksmith’s shop until the mid 1900s, this building is now derelict. It is possible that James Miller, father of Norman Miller, who was listed as occupying Lot 32, Concession 4 in the 1864 assess- ment rolls also used this structure as his blacksmith shop. Half of this shop was destroyed by fire in the early 1900s. The building is presently owned by the Town of Pickering. The building itself does not appear on the 1860 or 1877 historical maps shown on the opposite page. The 1860 map indicates that the property the building rests on today was owned by T.P. White. James Miller was born in Scotland in 1828. In 1855, Miller and Robina (Robenna) Traill Craigie were married. The couple must have immigrated soon after their marriage as their first child, William, was born in Markham in 1856. Five years later, they were living in Pickering in a 1 1/2 storey frame house.1 He was employed as a blacksmith. Their children included William, James, John, Robina, Anna and Norman Louis.2 3 By 1871, James was no longer listed in the census as he had died in 1870. Norman Louis Miller was born in Whitevale on October 9, 1869. By 1891, Miller (then 20 years old) was working as a blacksmith. At that time he was living with his mother Robina (a widow) and siblings William, James, Robina and Anna.4 Of note, the family was listed next to Benjamin Ellison; Ellison was one of two local black- smiths listed in the 1898-1899 Eastern Ontario Gazetteer and Directory. 1 Library and Archives Canada; Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; Census Returns For 1861; Roll: C-1057 2 Year: 1871; Census Place: Pickering, Ontario South, Ontario; Roll: C-9973; Page: 52 3 Year: 1881; Census Place: Pickering, Ontario South, Ontario; Roll: C_13244; Page: 62; Family No: 307 4 Year: 1891; Census Place: Pickering, Ontario West, Ontario, Canada; Roll: T-6358; Family No: 31 2 HISTORICAL SUMMARY - 33 - 4 BLACKSMITH SHOP, WHITEVALE PARK 5.

(Pickering Archives) - 34 - 5DOCUMENTATION + SALVAGE PLAN Norman Miller married Lilly Cordelia Buckler on December 30, 1896.5 They had several children together including Annie, Arthur, Florence, Alma and Elsie. He continued to work as a blacksmith in Whitevale.6 7 8 In 1900, Miller purchased the blacksmithing business of Benjamin Ellison.9 In the fall of 1924, The Pickering News reported that Norman Miller had vacated his premises on the east hill, and had moved in with his family residing in the old Miller home west of the bridge.10 This description aligns with the current location of the blacksmith shop. A few months later, in January of 1925, The Pickering News welcomed a new black- smith to Whitevale: They have purchased the property recently vacant by Norman Miller and Mr. Burgess and sons will carry on the business of general blacksmithing at the old stand.11 According to The Township of Pickering Public Library history, Miller was also the Whitevale Public Library’s first librarian. The library was established in 1925 and, “Mr. Norman Miller, the local blacksmith was appointed librarian and served in this capacity till 1955.”12 On Friday, February 16, 1945, The Pickering News published the following in the Whitevale column: The roof of Norman Miller’s blacksmith shop collapsed on Saturday evening under the terrific weight of the snow. It appears to be a complete loss. Fortunately, Mr. Miller was absent at the time.13 Miller died on September 3, 1957, and is buried in the Whitevale Cemetery. It is understood that the Blacksmith Shop was relocated when Whitevale Road was widened. 5 Ontario marriage certificate. 6 Year: 1901; Census Place: Pickering, Ontario (West/Ouest), Ontario; Page: 3; Family No: 31 7 Year: 1911; Census Place: 6 - Pickering, Ontario South, Ontario; Page: 4; Family No: 52 8 Reference Number: RG 31; Folder Number: 75; Census Place: 75, Ontario South, Ontario; Page Number: 10.

(Branch Architecture) - 38 - 9DOCUMENTATION + SALVAGE PLAN 3 BUILDING DESCRIPTION The former Blacksmith Shop (now vacant) is located along the north edge of Whitevale Park adjacent to Whitevale Road and the bridge. The building is roughly 16 ft. x 19 ft. with the short side facing north. The building does not have a proper foundation but rather the floor structure rests on several concrete blocks at grade. Along the north elevation, the sill plate is partially concealed by earth. The structure is a simple timber frame building. The heavy timber frame, secondary timbers (girts and braces), floor joists and notched rafters are generally consistent in size, type and configuration. The primary structural elements (posts and beams) range in size and include 4” x 6”, 6” x 6” and 8” x 6” members. The secondary struc- tural elements and cross braces are also 4” x 4”. The primary structural elements are joined using pegged mortise and tendon connections. The timbers do not appear to have been salvaged from another structure. The floor is made up of two layers of 1 1/2” thick wood boards, approximately 12” wide. The exterior is clad in 1” thick wood planks up to 18” in width and set in a board and batten pattern (where intact) and pressed metal tiles (on the west side only). The roof displays pressed metal panels. As it is today, the building is a unique example of a timber frame Blacksmith Shop in the hamlet. The building displays a weathered appearance due to its age, expo- sure to the elements, and the impact of its long-standing use as a blacksmith shop. Upon close inspection of the interior, there many charming details and custom pieces that are likely related to its former use. These include: a weather girt with several ring fasteners along the east wall; an area covered in pressed metal tiles along the west wall; boards covered in a large number of nails from the mid-19th and early 20th centuries (tapered square nails, cut nails, and circular wire cut types); a ring fastener at the floor; simple metal chimney stack; large door open- ings; shelving; etc. - 39 - 10 BLACKSMITH SHOP, WHITEVALE PARK 4 SALVAGE OPTIONS The former Blacksmith Shop presents a few opportunities for reuse and interpre- tation specific to the wood, pressed metal tiles and metal hardware. 1. Wood elements - Salvage for future repairs Due to the robustness of the construction and the fact that the building rests on concrete blocks (allowing for ventilation beneath), the wood timbers and boards largely appear to be in sound condition. Wood elements located adjacent to grade or directly below roof leaks display rot or deterioration related to moisture, however, many of the above grade timbers, floor boards and exterior wood planks (cladding) are salvageable for reuse. Given the age of the building and the associated quality and sizing of the wood elements - true size structural elements, thick floor boards and exterior cladding - these are good candidates for salvage. These would be useful in undertaking repairs or restoration work at other City owned heritage buildings. It is often diffi- cult to find good matches in wood species, size, quality, texture and natural wear. 2. Metal elements - Salvage for interest / display While the building has been stripped of much of its original hardware, examples of nails, metal rings and pressed metal tiles remain. As many of these elements were likely handmade in response to an immediate need, they represent an authentic expression of the local blacksmith’s trade. Samples of the following could be collected for a future display at the Miller House at Whitevale Park: • a piece of wood board (18” x 18”) that displays a large number and variety of historic nails; • a section of the weathered rail or girt with metal rings (3 to 4 feet in length); and • a few intact samples of the pressed metal tiles. Further, in the interest of diverting demolition material from landfill, it is recom- mended that if the City is not interested in salvaging these items for reuse that a historic building salvage company or local heritage contractor be invited to remove sound building elements for reuse as part of the demolition process. - 40 - 11DOCUMENTATION + SALVAGE PLAN Appendix 1: Record Photographs 1.

The property is currently designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for the Post Manor, circa 1841, built for Jordan and Matilda Post. The 2-storey stone building currently sits on the property and is used for spa and retail use. The building is to be retained on-site, moved from its current location, and continue its use as a commercial building. Applicant’s Initial and revised Proposals The applicant’s initial proposal was for a mixed-use development consisting of (see First Submission Conceptual Plan and Rendering, Attachments #2 and #3): •2 mixed-use buildings having heights of 31 and 34-storeys connected by a 6-storey podium fronting Kingston Road; •a 12-storey residential building; •25 3-storey townhouses along the north and west portions of the site; •a total of 860 dwelling units; •1,430 square metres of at grade commercial use; •moving the Post Manor heritage building to the northeast corner of the site; •3 levels of underground parking garage containing 817 spaces; and •an at-grade outdoor amenity area, approximately 2,541 square metres in size, which will be a Privately Owned Publicly-Accessible Space (a POPS), proposed to integrate the interpretive landscaping surrounding the relocated Post Manor heritage building. - 58 - April 19, 2022 Page 2 of 5 Resubmission of Official Plan Amendment & Zoning By-law Amendment Application Brock & Kingston Holdings Inc. In response to comments received from City departments, external agencies, Heritage Pickering Advisory Committee, and area residents, the applicant revised their proposal (see Revised Conceptual Plan, Site Plan and Renderings, Attachments #4, #5 & #6). The key revisions to the proposal include: • reduced the number of residential towers from 2 towers at 34 and 31 storeys in height connected by a 6-storey podium to 1 tower proposed at 32 storeys in height, stepping down to a 6-storey podium; • converted 3-storey townhouses to stacked townhouses and increase the total number of townhouses from 25 units to 50 units; • reduced the proposed residential density from 711 units per net hectare to 537 units per net hectare, and decreased the maximum Floor Space Index from 5.7 to 4.5; • reduced the total number of residential units from 860 units to 650 units; • retained the Post Manor building at the intersection of Kingston Road and Brock Road, but will be moved approximately 18 metres directly east closer to Brock Road; • increased in the amount of commercial floor area proposed (an additional 395 square metres); • increased the parking ratio for resident parking from 0.8 spaces per unit to 0.9 spaces per unit; and • provided a total of 16 surface parking spaces to support the at-grade commercial use. Heritage Pickering Consultation On April 28, 2021, Heritage Pickering received a presentation from the applicant’s heritage consultant, ERA Architects Inc. regarding their proposal and strategy for incorporating and preserving the Post Manor within the development and protecting the site's heritage attributes. Heritage Pickering had various comments and questions for staff and the applicant and their consultants, including: • concerned that the proposed strategy isolates the Post Manor, and requested that heritage building be sited on the site to be visible from the intersection of Kingston Road and Brock Road; • requested that the relationship between the Post Manor and the Post Cemetery, located at the southwest corner of Kingston Road and Brock Road, is maintained for the Post Manor to recognize its heritage aspect; • concerned that the proposed location for the Post Manor is being overshadowed by the large buildings; • concerned that the relocation of the Post Manor to the northerly portion of the site does not maintain a prominent element of the plan; and • requested whether there were any existing examples of similar proposals of heritage properties in urban settings. Based on comments from Heritage Pickering, the applicant has made the following changes to the proposal in relation to the Post Manor: • relocated the Post Manor approximately 18 metres east of its current location (the first submission proposed to move the building to the northeast corner of the site); - 59 - April 19, 2022 Page 3 of 5 Resubmission of Official Plan Amendment & Zoning By-law Amendment Application Brock & Kingston Holdings Inc. • the Post Manor is adjacent to a Publicly Accessibly, Privately-Owned space (POPS), which is open to the corner of Kingston Road and Brock Road, providing opportunities for enhanced landscaping, park space, events or programming; • the site-line from the corner of Kingston and Brock Road towards the Post Manor is maintained, preserving its prominence as a community landmark and its historic connection to the Post Cemetery, on the south side of Kingston Road; • acknowledgement in the Heritage Impact Assessment of some shadow impacts on the Post Manor; • provided a letter from a qualified building mover confirming that the building is a candidate for moving; and • submitted a construction and staging plan to determine the building’s location during construction. Peer Review of the Revised Heritage Impact Assessment In support of the proposal, Brock & Kingston Holdings Inc. has submitted an updated Heritage Impact Assessment, prepared by ERA Architects Ltd, revised February 2022 (see Heritage Impact Assessment, Attachment #7). Branch Architecture was retained by the City of Pickering to conduct a Peer Review of the original and revised Heritage Impact Assessment submitted with the application (see Peer Review, Attachment #8). The following comments are provided by Branch Architecture: • The revised HIA provides for the conservation of the heritage property at 1970 Brock Road within the context of the proposed development. The HIA demonstrates a thorough knowledge of the history of the property and understanding of the heritage building and presents a very thoughtful conservation strategy that allows for the restoration and rehabilitation of Post Manor a sympathetic landscape and integrated setting. • The report honestly acknowledges the impacts of the proposed development on Post Manor, which include relocation, the construction of high-rise buildings, and shadowing. The report proposes several mitigation measures to enhance the cultural heritage of the site, which include: • Keeping the building's general orientation on the site, and moving it east instead of northeast, further improving views of the building while maintaining its prominence as a landmark and its connection to the corner of Brock & Kingston Road. It will maintain a 12.5 metre setback from Brock Road, surrounded by historically-informed landscaping which improves its current setting within a parking lot. Moving the building is a justified approach to also achieving the goals of the Kingston Road Corridor Intensification Plan and Draft Urban Design Guidelines. - 60 - April 19, 2022 Page 4 of 5 Resubmission of Official Plan Amendment & Zoning By-law Amendment Application Brock & Kingston Holdings Inc. • The bulk of the tower massing has been reduced from two 30+ storey towers to a single 32-storey tower. This revision to the proposed design allows for density to be consolidated further west on the site, pulling tall contemporary construction away from the retained Post Manor. The setback between the underground parking garage and the Post Manor has increased. The applicant will be required at the Site Plan Application stage to provide more details on the materials of the adjacent buildings to ensure compatibility with the heritage building. • Staff provided concerns that the introduction of shadows would not allow the cedar shingles on the roof, a heritage attribute, to dry properly throughout the day. The applicant has provided a shadow analysis. These shadows are anticipated to begin midday in the winter, spring and fall months, and mid-afternoon in the summer months. As the proposed massing of the adjacent buildings has decreased, there is more opportunity for sunlight and therefore the cedar shingles should be able to perform adequately throughout the year. • The revised design of the proposed development allows for the Post Manor building to maintain its visibility as a landmark at this corner and for it to be integrated into the Post’s Corners POPS. • The new design responds to the local importance of Post Manor. This is seen in the massing and height reductions to maintain the prominence of Post Manor and limit shadow impacts, the increased building setbacks from Post Manor to avoid crowding the former farmhouse, and the uniquely themed landscape design that speaks to Pickering's agricultural heritage. This proposal conserves the cultural heritage value and heritage attributes of this local landmark. • With respect to the high-density new construction, Brach Architecture recommends that the design is further developed with the interest of meaningfully engaging with the heritage portion of the property and enhancing the visual prominence of Post Manor. As per heritage best practice, that new design should strike the balance of being clearly legible as a high-quality contemporary intervention and be visually compatible with the heritage building. The proposed landscape design that extends the rural heritage themes into the overall urban design of the site will serve as a complementary design element between the new and the old. • In the preparation for the Site Plan application, the applicant’s heritage consultant shall advise on the finer-grained design of the buildings (in particular the composition and materiality of the adjacent 6-storey podium and 4-storey stacked townhouses) as well as the urban design and landscape to ensure it is compatible with Post Manor’s heritage attributes. Staff analysis Staff concur with Branch Architecture’s analysis. The Heritage Impact Assessment has been updated to respond to the Peer Review comments from the first submission with further changes to the design of the proposed development and placement of the Post Manor. The new concept maintains the Post Manor's prominence and relation to the corner of Kingston and Brock Roads while reducing the shadow impact of the proposed new development. - 61 - April 19, 2022 Page 5 of 5 Resubmission of Official Plan Amendment & Zoning By-law Amendment Application Brock & Kingston Holdings Inc. In support of a Site Plan application, the applicant will be required to submit a Conservation Plan, and details of the finer-grained design of the surrounding buildings to ensure a compatible treatment concerning the Post Manor. Staff offer the following recommendation to the Committee: • That Heritage Pickering Advisory Committee supports the applications for Official Plan Amendment (OPA 20-008/P) and Zoning By-law Amendment (A 13/20) to retain and relocate the Post Manor building on-site as illustrated on the revised site plan, prepared by CMV Group Architects, dated February 14, 2022; • That, after the Post Manor has been moved to its new location, a reference plan be provided to the City of Pickering to identify the new location of the Post Manor; • That the designation by-law is updated to reflect the heritage attributes identified in the Heritage Impact Assessment; • That the applicant submit a Conservation Plan and Costing Estimate, and that the materials be forwarded to the Heritage Pickering Advisory Committee for comment prior to the issuance of Site Plan Approval; • That a heritage plaque be placed on the building or the site at the owner's expense; and • That the City enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement with the owner to ensure the ongoing maintenance, protection and repair of the Post Manor in keeping with the Heritage Designation By-law and the Ontario Heritage Act. Next Steps The comments received from Heritage Pickering will be included in a staff report to the Planning & Development Committee. The development will be subject to Site Plan Approval. Through the Site Plan Review process, Heritage Pickering will have additional opportunities to review and comment on the conservation plan, architectural treatment of the high-density buildings, details regarding the restoration of the Post Manor and the landscaping surrounding the building.

It assesses the impact of the proposed redevelopment on the heritage resource, Post Manor, at 1970 Brock Road. The Site is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. Historical Context Post Manor was built as a farmhouse in 1842- 1843 for Jordan and Matilda Post. It served as a residence until 1985, when the house and surrounding Site were redeveloped as a low- rise commercial plaza. Through incremental development and road widening beginning in the mid-20th century, the context along Kingston Road has become suburban and now more urban, with policy driving density and urbanization. Cultural Heritage Value An analysis undertaken by ERA as a part of this Report finds that the Site carries cultural heritage values for its representation of a mid- 19th-century farmhouse, its high craftsmanship, its association with settlers Jordan and Matilda Post, and its connection with the cemetery across the road, both representative of an historic rural crossroads community. Post Manor is perceived as a landmark by the local community. Proposed Development The development proposal retains and relocates Post Manor eastward along Brock Road. Intensification is proposed through a 24-32-storey tower building along Kingston Road and a 12-storey mid-rise in the Site’s centre. The two buildings will each have a six-storey podium that will be connected via a linking structure open at grade. Four-storey stacked townhouses are proposed in an L-shape configuration along the Site’s northwest corner. Impact Assessment The proposed development is anticipated to present an impact on the Site’s cultural heritage value through the loss of a portion of its front-yard setback, the change in context due to the high- density new construction and new shadows cast on Post Manor by new construction. The relocation is considered necessary in order to meet planning objectives on this site. Post Manor’s heritage attributes, including its orientation on the concession road, and its setting and visibility at the corner of Brock and Kingston Roads will be maintained. Conservation Strategy & Impact Mitigation Post Manor is proposed to be retained and relocated eastward, with its basement reconstructed to conserve its heritage attributes. It is proposed to be rehabilitated for a public- facing commercial use such as a restaurant or cafe, representing a reinvestment in the building, to introduce users to experience the building’s interior craft smanship. A three-fold mitigation strategy has been designed to conserve the Site’s cultural heritage value and mitigate impacts associated with new construction and the relocation: • New construction designed to mitigate for impact on the Site’s heritage value; • A multi-media interpretation plan; and • An interpretive landscape strategy. The multi-media interpretation plan is proposed to help users engage with the Site’s history as a place of agricultural production, and its role within a broader rural crossroads community. Within the proposed interpretation strategy, ERA has worked closely with the proponent and project architect to develop a mitigative landscape - 72 - vREVISED: FEBRUARY 14, 2022 concept that interprets and “contemporizes” the historic farmstead typology. The landscape plan includes the Post’s Corners plaza south of Post Manor, an interpretive Farmhouse zone, and a Farmstead Lane. The landscape scheme is designed to increase public interaction with this heritage resource while maintaining views from Brock and Kingston Roads. The landscape design utilizes farmstead motifs on the Site’s interior to sensitively transition between the Post Manor lands and contemporary urban community. - 73 - 1ISSUED NOVEMBER 24, 2020 | REVISED: FEBRUARY 14, 2022 1 iNtrODuctiON 1.1 Report Scope ERA Architects Inc. (“ERA”) was retained to prepare a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) to accompany the resubmission of an Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendment application for a proposed redevelopment at 1670-1680 Kingston Road and 1970-1980 Brock Road (“the Site”). The HIA assesses the impact of the proposed redevelopment on the built heritage resource at 1970 Brock Road, an 1842-1843 farmhouse known locally as Post Manor. This Report has been prepared following the Terms of Reference provided on Info Sheet #5 in the Province of Ontario’s Heritage Toolkit. According to the Ontario Heritage Toolkit, the purpose of an HIA is to: ... determine if any cultural heritage resources (including those previously identified and those found as part of the site assessment) or in any areas of archaeological potential, are impacted by a specific proposed development or site alteration. It can also demonstrate how the cultural heritage resource will be conserved in the context of redevelopment or site alteration. Mitigative or avoidance measures or alternative development or site alteration approaches may be recommended. This Report assesses the proposed development on the Site, the full details of which are included in the Architectural Drawings by CMV Architects, appended to this Report (Appendix B). This HIA has been updated to reflect changes to the proposal and feedback received to date from City of Pickering Staff, the City ’s peer reviewer and the community. - 74 - 2 HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT | 1970-1980 BROCK RD, 1670-1680 KINGSTON RD, PICKERING 1842-1843 farmhouse at 1970 Brock Road, principal (east) elevation.

The by-law’s “Reason for Designation” is included below: The stone farmhouse commonly known as Post Manor which is located at Brock Road and Kingston Road, a major intersection in the Town of Pickering was built in 1841. At that time the house was in a rural setting surrounded by farmland and dusty concession roads. Jordan Post, from Toronto, moved to Pickering with his wife Matilda in 1838 and proceeded to construct the home. With a stone foundation and cut fieldstone exterior, the house is stylish and sturdy. There are shake and metal roofs, an exceptional verandah trimmed with gingerbread and detailed chimneys for the two interior marble fireplaces. The main door hints at a Greek Revival Style popular at the time. Only the best timber was used from the family mill for interior trim and floors. Unique hardware, mortar brackets, shutters and windows compliment this comfortable century building. There is an unusual arched entrance to the basement. There are no adjacent properties designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, nor listed on the City of Pickering Municipal Heritage Register. - 88 - 16 HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT | 1970-1980 BROCK RD, 1670-1680 KINGSTON RD, PICKERING Instrument Date of Registry Grantor Grantee Quantity of Land Consideration or Amount of Mortgage Patent July 16, 1799 --Hon.

Well-documented archaeological and archival evidence shows that in until the 1600s, the Seneca (Haudenosaunee) village of Ganatsetiagon (one of several transliterated spellings) sat approximately seven kilometres west of the Site, at the intersection of the Rouge River and today’s Kingston Road. Ganatsetiagon was established just northwest of the mouth of the Rouge River, and served as a southern base for one of the several Toronto Carrying Place trails from Lake Ontario to Lake Simcoe. The village appears on multiple French exploration maps dating to the 1670s and 1680s. In the winter of 1669, French Sulpician missionary Francois de Salignac de la Mothe-Fenelon travelled to Ganatsetiagon and is said to have attempted to establish a school for the Seneca children; it is widely reported that Frenchman’s Bay is named for Fenelon and his travel companions. 1688 Map of Lake Ontario and surrounding settlements, with the approximate location of the Site identified east of the Ganestikiagon village in blue (University of Toronto Maps and Data Library, annotated by ERA). - 90 - 18 HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT | 1970-1980 BROCK RD, 1670-1680 KINGSTON RD, PICKERING Following the late-17th-century Haudenosaunee departure from the north shores of Lake Ontario and the arrival of the Anishinaabe Mississaugas of the Credit in the 18th century, the site of Ganatsekiagon was no longer occupied. Today, the Bead Hill National Historic Site at Kingston Road and the Rouge River is recognized as the possible Ganatsekiagon village site, due to the discovery of significant numbers of archaeological materials there. British Colonial Context Following French Missionaries such as Fenelon, early British settlement in Pickering began in the 1770s. The Constitutional Act of 1791 established the new colony of Upper Canada (today’s Ontario), and set in place a British colonial administration. Early on, the colonial administration commissioned Augustus Jones to complete the survey of counties, townships and 200-acre lots separated by concession lines and sideroads. The Site was located within York County, in Pickering Township. (In 1852, the east portion of York County, including the Township of Pickering, would be separated off as the newly-formed Ontario County). Settlement was gradual, and by the 1813 census, the Township of Pickering had 180 residents. In 1796, the colonial administration set out to build a road from the head of Lake Ontario (Hamilton) to Kingston. The Kingston Road was completed by 1815. Soon afterward, settlements began to emerge at the junctures of the Kingston Road road and the intersecting sideroads, often marked by a post office, a church or school, and sometimes a highway hotel or tavern. The more successful settlements grew to become villages, with the establishment of additional commerce and local institutions. In 1795, Upper Canada’s Surveyor General Honorable D. W. Smith was granted Lot 19, in both the First and Second Concession, as well as Lot 20 in the Second Concession, among other lots throughout Pickering. The Site is located on a portion of these lands, on Lot 19 in the First Concession. - 91 - 19ISSUED NOVEMBER 24, 2020 | REVISED: FEBRUARY 14, 2022 1791 Survey Plan of Pick- ering by Augustus Jones, with approximate location of the Site identified in blue (Pickering Digital Archive, annotated by ERA). 1801 Chewett Plan of Pick- ering, with Lot 19, Conces- sion I, containing the Site identified in blue.

The village was incorporated as a township in 1811, and by 1817, its first general store had been established. Pickering Village was located at the juncture of Kingston Road and the 2nd Concession Road (today’s Finch Avenue), just northeast of the Site. Along with the saw and grist mills established in these communities to serve the surrounding areas’ agricultural needs, forestry soon became an important industry in Pickering Township. Frenchman’s Bay was ideally suited to imports and exports, being large enough for ships to enter, and as early as 1843, the bay was dredged to increase its capacity to admit even larger ships. Time Present and Time Past: A Pictorial History of Pickering notes that “[p]ine logs for ship’s masts, squared timber, and cordwood were exported through Frenchman’s Bay”.

The approximate Site location is indicated in yellow (Google Maps annotated by ERA). Kingston Road was established as an early inter-community highway between 1796-1815. In the decades that followed, colonial settlers established villages, farmhouses, hotel taverns and institutions along its length. During the post-WWII rise of the automobile and suburbanization, the street began to see increased residential and commercial development, and a resulting increase in vehicle traffic. Kingston Road’s earlier rural and agricultural character was eroded as the street transitioned to a suburban corridor. Today, contemporary planning effor ts are seeking to reshape Kingston Road into a more urban street, with transit-oriented development, and public realm improvements such as bike lanes. As this thoroughfare transitions once again, opportunities exist to establish a clear vision for the conservation and commemoration of remnant agricultural heritage resources along Kingston Road. Compatible built form, landscape and public realm design can serve to transition retained heritage resources into the urbanizing Kingston Road, and increase their prominence for passersby using all modes of transportation. Kingston Road in Evolution - 95 - 23ISSUED NOVEMBER 24, 2020 | REVISED: FEBRUARY 14, 2022 The Post Family: Colonial Settlers in Upper Canada The historical roots of Post Manor at 1970 Brock Road begin with the Post Family, early settlers of Toronto, Scarborough, Ajax and Pickering. Circa 1780, Jordan Post I and his wife Abigail Loomis left Hebron, Connecticut to settle in York with their family of eight children. One son, Jordan Post II, would become York’s first clockmaker and a town officer, serving as a pathmaster in 1810 and 1819. He and his wife, Melinda Woodruff, owned land near King and Yonge Streets (where the nearby Jordan and Melinda Streets still bear their name). They later traded this land for 500 acres in Scarborough. Another son, George Washington Post, settled in Pickering circa 1813. G. W. Post served as an elected assessor, and later held various offices. He and his wife, Elizabeth Knowles Post, established a two-storey brick stagecoach inn along Kingston Road, one mile west of the Whitby border. The building still stands today near present-day Salem Road. In Pickering, George Washington and Elizabeth Post raised seven children. In April of 1842, their son Jordan Post purchased just over 33 acres in Lot 19, Concession I from John Toole, containing the Site. Jordan and his wife Matilda are pictured below.

Post Occupancy (1842-1843 to 1886) Historical accounts indicate that in 1841, Jordan Post III erected a saw mill on Lot 19, Concession II, along Duffin’s Creek, where it crossed Brock Road. Secondary sources indicate he became a successful businessman, exporting milled lumber to Oswego, New York, via Frenchman’s Bay. Jordan and Matilda Post commissioned the extant house on Site in 1842-1843 fronting the sideroad, Brock Road, just north of Kingston Road. The written historical record indicates that the house was built by Scottish stonemasons, with millwork by ships’ cabinet-makers based out of the nearby Frenchman’s Bay. The Posts called their estate Flora Villa. The one-and-a-half- storey cut fieldstone house with a one-storey rear wing, typical of mid-19th century Ontario farmhouses, was designed in a Georgian vernacular style with an ornate Regency-style porch. The fine finishes, such as the interior and exterior wood trim, reflected the Post s’ relative wealth and prominence in early Pickering. - 97 - 25ISSUED NOVEMBER 24, 2020 | REVISED: FEBRUARY 14, 2022 Left: 1860 Map of Ontario County.

(University of Toronto Maps, annotated by ERA). The Posts were early supporters of the evangelical Church of Christ’s Disciples, which first met in a nearby schoolhouse and grew to 250 members at its peak. To accommodate the growing congregation, a church was erected in the 1840s, directly south of Post Manor, on the southwest corner of Brock and Kingston Roads. The church was later demolished around the turn of the 20th century. In the congregation’s early years, Jordan Post purchased land at the southwest corner of Brock and Kingston Roads to establish a cemetery adjacent to the church, known through the turn of the century as the Disciples’ Burying Ground. The combination of the Posts’ farmhouse, the church, the cemetery, the saw mill and the homes of fellow farmsteaders and congregants formed a small crossroads community at the corner of Brock and Kingston Roads. In 1860, Jordan became the first person to be buried in Post Cemetery. His wife, Matilda, would later be buried there in 1886. The Post headstones remain there today alongside many of their neighbours and fellow congregants, including William Forrester, George Leng, Abraham Knowles, George Barclay and Charles Palmer.

On August 6th, 1886, the Pickering News advertised the Post lands. The 134 acres on Lots 19, Concessions I and II were split into two parcels. The Post Manor farmstead, located in Parcel two, was described in some detail: VALUABLE FARM AND VILLAGE PROPERTY FOR SALE Scaled tenders addressed to the undersigned will be received up to the 15th day of August, 1886, for the purchase of the following parcels of valuable farm and village property belonging to the estate of the late JORDAN POST. Parcel I: The south half of Lot No. 19, in the 2nd Concession of the Township of Pickering, containing 100 acres, more or less, of which about 10 acres is bush. On this property is erected a dwelling house and stable. This property affords an excellent and rare opportunity to mill-owners as the west branch of Duffin’s Creek runs across the south east corner of said property, thus offering one of the finest water privileges in Ontario. Parcel II: Adjoining parcel 1, consisting of the north part of Lot No. 19 in the 1st Concession of Pickering, containing 34 acres, more or less, on which is erected a good stone dwelling house, stone kitchen, woodshed, stable, driving shed, and barns. Parcels 1 and 2 have formerly been used as one farm, and have ample buildings, stone stables, and root house under the barn; good orchard. Together is a splendid grazing and grain growing farm of 134 acres. The present tenant has to leave 28 acres ploughed and 4 acres in fall wheat. Possession this fall in time to plow. This property is beautifully located about half a mile west of Pickering Village, and twenty miles from Toronto. Parcel III: The north half of the south half of Lot No. 21, in the Broken Front of Pickering, containing 50 acres, more or less, on which is erected a good dwelling house and barn; situated about half a mile from Liverpool Harbor. Parcel IV - A house and lot containing about quarter of an acre, situated in the Village of Pickering. According to an October 15th, 1886 Pickering News article, Parcels I and II were “knocked down” by a Wesley Walton, however secondary sources note that the Post Manor farmstead was ultimately acquired by Robert Deverell.

They continued farming on Site, but newspaper records also indicate that the Deverells frequently hosted gatherings for the local Ladies’ Aid Societies. The Pickering News carried several notices of “oyster suppers” at the residence of Robert Deverell, Esq. and strawberry festivals and other socials were held on “the beautiful and spacious lawn of Robt. Deverell’s” (Pickering News, May 23, 1902). In the 1870s or 1880s, alterations to the farmhouse are estimated to have been undertaken to expand the rear of the principal one-and-a-half-storey building with a great room, and to install marble fireplace mantels (see Sections 2.3 and 4.0 for further detail). It is possible that these alterations were undertaken by the Deverells upon their acquisition of the residence. Left: 1900 photograph of Robert Deverell, Right: 1900 photograph of Robert’s wife Margaret Hesleys Ferguson Deverell (Pickering Public Library) In July 1905, a Ladies’ Aid Society garden party at “Mr. Deverell’s beautiful grounds” was marred by a major fire at the Deverell barns, west of the house. Guests were engaged to save the horses and cattle, while only half a dozen of seventy fowl were saved. The damage was estimated to be greater than $2,000. In September 1908, Robert Deverell sold the property to Frederick Hurst, of Toronto, for $5,300. The sale agreement describes 48 acres: 34 acres on Lot 19, Con I on the northwest corner of Brock and Kingston Roads, and 14 acres on Lot 18, Con I on the northeast corner of Brock and Kingston Roads. These 14 acres were not Post family holdings, and were likely acquired separately by the Deverells. The sale agreement further listed the chattel sold with the two properties. The list is indicative of the type of agricultural work undertaken on the lot: • One team of horses; one colt; four cows; four cattle; one yearling calf; four calfs; • Turnip slicer; two ladders; two wagons; hayrack; one buggy, one Democrat. wagon; two sets of harness (heavy); one set of light; one mowing machine; bobsleighs; one cutter; turnip drill; grindstone; cultivator; cart; • 16 young pigs; four large pigs; 25 hens; • Drill; hay teder; binder; hay rake; sulky plow; roller; fanning mill; harrows. - 101 - 29ISSUED NOVEMBER 24, 2020 | REVISED: FEBRUARY 14, 2022 Hurst Occupancy (1908 - 1926) Frederick Hurst purchased the 34-acre Post Manor farmstead in 1908, in his mid 50s, following a 28-year career as a butcher in Toronto. Upon his death in July 1924, the Pickering News noted: The deceased, who was in his 72nd year, conducted a provision business in Toronto for a number of years, but about 16 years ago he came to Pickering, locating on the farm he purchased from the late Robt.

Hettger-MacGregor Occupancy (1926 - 1943) Born in the late 1800s to German immigrants in Lindsay, Mary, Bertha and Carl Hettger acquired the Post Manor farmstead in 1926, with Mary’s husband Marshall MacGregor. Until then, the siblings had been living at the MacGregor residence in Parkdale, Toronto. Marshall MacGregor died soon afterward, in 1930 at age 68, and was buried with his first wife in Toronto. The three siblings, aged 50 (Mar y), 46 (Bertha) and 40 (Carl), continued to reside and farm on site for the following 15 years.

Archival evidence (photographs, newspaper articles) indicates that the Hettgers cultivated the agricultural lands on Site, and kept livestock like chickens. The Hettger-MacGregors’ tenure on Site transitioned the property in the WWII era, and the advent of suburbanization. In the 1940s, the Hettger siblings sold to Kenneth H. J. Clarke and Peggy Winter Clarke, a young couple out of Toronto. The Hettgers placed value in their historic home, selecting the Clarkes’ offer after learning that the competing buyers were planning extensive alterations on site. The sale appears to have been an amicable transfer; a series of archival records were left to the Clarkes, with a portrait of Mary Hettger MacGregor signed “Please do not forget us”. For their part, the Clarkes annotated the photos left by the Hettger-MacGregors; a photograph of Carl is re-captioned “Dear old Carl who was responsible for what the place is.” Clarke Occupancy (c. 1948 - 1985) Kenneth and Pegg y Clarke’s tenure on Site coincides with the shift along Kingston Road from agricultural production to suburban development.

The Clarkes themselves, married in 1940, and employed and engaged in social circles in Toronto, may be considered early participants in the region’s suburbanization. The Clarkes’ early years on Site were characterized by the birth of their son, Kenneth Clarke Jr. Some years later, in 1956, a daytime fire star ted in the rear kitchen wing, resulting in the death of the Clarkes’ maid, Mary Armstrong. A March 17, 1956 Globe and Mail article provides a brief account: Mrs. Clarke and the maid were alone in the house when fire broke out in the kitchen, swept up a stairway to two bedrooms and part of the roof on the century-old house. Unable to get through the smoke and flames to the telephone, Mrs. Clarke drove half a mile to the village to turn in the alarm. The Pickering News similarly covered the fire: A maid, Mary Armstrong, was dusting in a bedroom above the burning kitchen. The blaze swept up the back stairway and up into the rafters. In the 1950s, a series of measured drawings were produced by University of Toronto architecture students (N.D. :Jackson; 1950, Gerald S. Freedman; 1959, H. Okun), under the direction of notable architect and heritage conservationist, Eric Arthur. Today, the drawings help us to understand the evolution of the interior floor plan in the latter half of the 20th century and the early 21st century (see Section 2.3).

In 1972, both Brock and Kingston Roads were widened. Shortly thereafter, the intersection’s southeast corner was adapted for commercial use. Commercial Plaza (1985 - 2020) In 1986, the Clarke family sold the Post farmhouse and surrounding 12.3 acres of land per Registered Plan No. 40R-8663 (March 18, 1985) (refer to Plan, right): • Part 1 of the Plan: measuring approximately three acres and almost identical to the Site boundaries today, contains the Post farmhouse. It was sold on October 14, 1986 to Paralax Brock Ltd. Paralax Brock Ltd. developed the Site as a commercial plaza. The Post farmhouse was restored and retained in place during this redevelopment. In the time since, the house has operated with two boutique commercial units, one in the main house, and the other in the rear wing. • Part 2 of the Plan: measuring 2.5 acres was also sold by the Clarkes on October 14, 1986. The purchaser, Royal Road Holdings Inc.. developed the land as a commercial plaza in the late 1980s. • Part 3 of the Plan: measuring 6.872 acres was sold to Ontario 652195 Inc. on June 27, 1986, and was later developed as townhouses (refer to Zoning By-law Amendment 4081- 92).

Friedman, 1950, Eric Arthur Collection, Archives of Ontario) and a preliminary interior and exterior site review, Post Manor appears to be largely intact to its original design. This list has been refined since the November 2020 submission date, following a review of the Eric Arthur Fonds at the Archives of Ontario. Estimated Alterations The farmhouse has evolved over time to accommodate a series of residential requirements, and subsequent conversion to two boutique commercial units. The following estimated alterations were observed: a) Interior alterations to the original centre-plan on the first floor, including: • The likely removal of a wall division in the northwest corner of the house, as evidenced by differing levels of wood trim detailing on the windows; • The addition of an office in the southwest portion of the house, as evidenced by new wood trim and drywall; and • Removal of the original winding servant stairs (lost in 1956 fire) and replace- ment with a new, reconfigured rear staircase. b) Interior alterations to the floor plan on the second floor: • The addition of a room division at the northeast corner of the house; and • The removal of a hallway closet division at the top of the staircase. c) On the rear wing: • South elevation: the conversion of a window to a door, and the enlargement of the two westernmost windows; and • West elevation: Alteration to the rear door to accommodate a standard-sized door and side lights. The timber-framed opening shows evidence of earlier, larger double doors here. The function of these former doors is uncertain, but in the early 20th century, this doorway opened into a wood clapboard extension, likely non-original. The extension appears to have been removed by 1940. d) Removal of gingerbread woodwork above the eaves line of the front porch. e) West elevation window alterations, above the cellar stairs. - 115 - 43ISSUED NOVEMBER 24, 2020 | REVISED: FEBRUARY 14, 2022 (C) Door Opening on South Elevation, westernmost rear wing window enlargement/alignment: The 1959 south elevation drawing (above) and 2020 photograph (below) show the conversion of a window opening into a entrance, and the realignment/enlargement of the westernmost windows (G.S.

The earliest available clear photographs of the south elevation from 1930 do not indicate such a feature in this location. • Origins of the carved marble fireplaces: The varied motifs, locations and installation of the three carved marble fireplaces indicates that they are likely not original to the house. Additional research would be required to confirm. The style of the northeast and northwest mantels indicates that they date to c. 1870-80. 2020 site photo indicating signs of a potential former opening or chimney on the south elevation of the farmhouse.

Access to the Pickering Archives was not available during the preparation of this HIA, aside from online access to digitized records. The following additional archival holdings have been reviewed since the original 2020 submission of this report, as they were previously unavailable: • Archival Drawings: the Ontario Archives’ Eric Arthur Fonds (C57), including three sets of student drawings (N.D., 1950 and 1959); • Archival Photographs: two photographs dated August 21, 1929, listed under MacGregor (Archives of Ontario, Eric Arthur Fonds, creator 41-C-3/1-2, container A-1142); and • Assessment Rolls: We note that the Archives of Ontario’s collection of Pickering assessment rolls begins in 1851. As such, these records were not able to confirm the construction date of the house. To date, ERA has been unable to conduct a detailed review of early-to-mid 20th-century assessment rolls in order to clarify any evolution of the rear wing (including its construction date, and installation and removal of clapboard extensions). Due to the scale, number of buildings and uses on the Site during its farmstead era, it would be difficult to attribute any recorded increases in assessed value to specific additions or alterations, without any additional indicators to help narrow to a date of construction. - 120 - 48 HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT | 1970-1980 BROCK RD, 1670-1680 KINGSTON RD, PICKERING 3 cuLturaL HEritagE vaLuE a SSESSmENt 3.1 Public Engagement Following the original submission of this report to the City of Pickering in November 2020, public engagement has taken place through a meeting with Heritage Pickering (April 28, 2021), a Planning and Development Committee meeting (June 7, 2021), and further community comments relayed by City Staff.

Reg. 9/06)Assessment: Post Manor (1970 Brock Road) 1. The property has design value or physical value because it, i. is a rare, unique, representative or early example of a style, type, expression, material or construction method, ii. displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit, or iii. demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement. Post Manor is a representative example of a 19th century Ontario farm- house with Georgian- and Regency-style influences, and displays a high degree of craftsmanship, both in its interior and exterior features. 2. The property has historical value or associa- tive value because it, i. has direct associations with a theme, event, belief, person, activity, organization or institution that is significant to a com- munity, ii. yields, or has the potential to yield, information that contributes to an under- standing of a community or culture, or iii. demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect, artist, builder, designer or theorist who is significant to a community. Post Manor is associated with Jordan & Matilda Post, early settlers of Pickering and wealthy sawmill operators, who built Post Manor in 1842- 1843. Post Manor’s position at the northwest corner of Brock and Kingston Roads, with the cemetery across the street, has some potential to yield the information that Kingston and Brock Roads was an historic cross- roads community. The integrity of this community has been eroded by demolitions, suburban development, and the widening of Brock and Kingston Roads, but community engagement has yielded the under- standing that the intersection’s historic character remains legible. There is no evidence to suggest that Post Manor represents the work of an architect, artist, builder, designer or theorist significant to the community. Its typical Georgian vernacular suggests that it was likely derived from a pattern book. 3. The property has contextual value because it, i. is important in defining, maintaining or supporting the character of an area, ii. is physically, functionally, visually or historically linked to its surroundings, or iii. is a landmark. Post Manor exists within an evolved context, and does not currently define, maintain nor support the character of the area. Post Manor is historically linked to the Post Cemetery at the southwest corner of Brock and Kingston Roads. Both exist as remnant evidence of a mid-1800s rural crossroads community. Post Cemetery was estab- lished by the Post family, and Jordan Post III (builder of Post Manor) became the cemetery’s first burial in 1860. Community engagement has clarified that Post Manor is considered a local landmark. It is an evident built heritage resource that, along with others along Kingston Road, conveys Kingston Road’s long history as a inter-community thoroughfare. - 122 - 50 HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT | 1970-1980 BROCK RD, 1670-1680 KINGSTON RD, PICKERING Value (quoted from O.

The designation by-law is proposed to be updated to contemporary standards in conjunction with this submission. ERA has prepared a draft Statement of Significance for the City of Pickering’s review. This Statement of Significance has been revised to reflect the insights gained through public engagement and the peer review process. Statement of Significance: Post Manor (1970 Brock Road) Description of the Historic Place Post Manor is a one-and-a-half-storey stone house with a one-storey rear wing and one-storey cellar entrance. It was built in 1842-1843 for Jordan and Matilda Post, and their eight children. Originally situated on a 130-acre farm, its property was subdivided over the 20th century, and converted in the 1980s for commercial use within a low-rise commercial plaza. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value Post Manor exhibits design value as a representative example of a mid-19th-century Ontario farmhouse Ontario farmhouse with Georgian- and Regency-style influences. Post Manor reflects the farmhouse building type through its form (one-and-a-half- storey rectangular mass, with a one-storey rear wing), full-width front porch, mirrored chimney stacks, and five-bay symmetry on its principal elevation. Post Manor exhibits further design value for the high level of craftsmanship throughout its exterior and interior design, including a rare remaining Regency-style porch. The site is associated with prominent early settlers, Jordan and Matilda Post, wealthy sawmill owners and lumber merchants, who built Post Manor in 1842-1843. The Posts were instrumental in establishing a crossroads community at Brock and Kingston Roads, at one point known as Post’s Corners. They were active - 125 - 53ISSUED NOVEMBER 24, 2020 | REVISED: FEBRUARY 14, 2022 members of the Church of Christ’s Disciples, and helped to establish the church and cemetery at the intersection’s southwest corner. Post Manor is historically linked to the cemetery at the southwest corner. Both Jordan and Matilda Post were buried at the cemetery, across the road from their home. Although the two corners are historically linked as remnant evidence of a crossroads community, their contextual relationship has been altered by the widening of Kingston Road as an eight- lane thoroughfare. The remnant mature vegetation on each site conveys a rural character that differentiates them from other properties in the area along Brock and Kingston Roads. Post Manor is considered a landmark, with its siting along Kingston Road, an historic inter-community thoroughfare.

The visual assessment was carried out from grade on the exteriors of all buildings and accessible areas, and on the interior of 1970 Brock Road. No destructive testing was undertaken during this review. This preliminary assessment is intended to provide an understanding of the general condition of the buildings on the Site, and the integrity of the historic fabric. 4.1 1970 Brock Road The 1842-1843 farmhouse consists of a one-and-a-half-storey main building with a full-width covered porch along the front (east) elevation, and a single-storey rear kitchen wing. The building is constructed of split fieldstone masonry under a gabled wood shingle roof on the front portion, and a pressed metal roof on the kitchen wing. The predominantly granite fieldstone walls have been partially squared to provide a tightly-jointed even finish, with random coursing on all elevations. Stones have been dressed and shaped to provide quoins at the front corners, and jack arches with keystones above the openings. The building components were graded using the following assessment terms: Excellent: Superior aging perfor- mance. Functioning as intended; no deterioration observed. Good: Normal Result. Functioning as intended; normal deterioration observed. Fair: Functioning as intended; Nor- mal deterioration and minor distress observed. Poor: Not functioning as intended; significant deterioration and distress observed. Defective: Not functioning as intend- ed; significant deterioration and major distress observed, possible damage to support structure; may present a risk. Partially squared fieldstones provide a tightly-jointed even finish (ERA, 2020). Jack-arched window (ERA, 2020). - 129 - 57ISSUED NOVEMBER 24, 2020 | REVISED: FEBRUARY 14, 2022 The house maintains the decorative wood elements associated with a well-appointed dwelling from this period, including eave trim and eave returns, wood sash windows with shutters, entrance, and porch with decorative trim. The six-over-six pattern wood sash windows and wide six-paneled entrance door with square transom and sidelights appear to be original, with sympathetic repairs. The house has been rehabilitated, and is currently in use as a spa and medical office. The farmhouse was found to be in generally good condition, with some areas requiring maintenance and/or repair as identified below. Some areas of the exterior envelope require maintenance, as evidenced by the following observed conditions: • Select areas on all elevations requiring repointing; • Peeling paint on exterior wood trim, windows and doors; and • A gap noted between the masonry wall and the roof at the northern edge of the porch. ERA recommends further investigation in this area. The wood shingle roof is nearing the end of its useful life. It was found to be in fair-to-poor condition, as evidenced by the cupping and cracking of shingles over the surface of the roof. The interior at 1970 Brock Road was found to be in good condition, and largely intact. Original decorative wood elements including the main and rear stairs and associated trim, door and window casings, wood floors, and baseboards were found on the first and second floors, and are consistent among the main house and rear wing, indicating a consistent build date for the entire structure. Six-panelled entrance door with square transom and side- lights (ERA, 2020). Paint peeling on decorative porch trim (ERA, 2020). Roof shingles cupping and cracking, evidence that the roof is nearing the end of its useful life (ERA, 2020). - 130 - 58 HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT | 1970-1980 BROCK RD, 1670-1680 KINGSTON RD, PICKERING The centre hall plan has been maintained in the primary spaces of the building, but infill walls have been added in the southern portion of the ground floor to subdivide one of the primary rooms for its current use. The large ground floor room at the northwest corner of the building is atypical for the age and style of the building, and is likely the result of an early alteration to accommodate a specific, currently unknown use. The two marble mantels, circa 1870-1880 in style, were likely added as part of this alteration. The building has a full height basement in the front portion of the house, with an exterior access stair. The stone basement includes two original stone- walled cold cellars, bead board doors and exposed three-inch floor joists 12” on centre. The following interior areas of deterioration were observed: • Select areas of water damage on window casings at the east portion of the house; • Select areas of water damage above the doorway to the basement; and • Cracking was noted on one door where one of the hinges appears to be failing, resulting in added stress and cracking near the lower hinge. Atypically large room at rear (northwest corner) of principal building. The door marked as an exit leads into the enclosed rear patio, see below (ERA, 2020). At left, exterior access door into the basement (ERA, 2020). Original stone-walled cold cellar with bead board door (ERA, 2020).

Processes and criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest are established by the Province under the authority of the Ontario Herit- age Act (PPS, 2020) - 133 - 61ISSUED NOVEMBER 24, 2020 | REVISED: FEBRUARY 14, 2022 A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2019) The Growth Plan, 2019 is the Province of Ontario’s initiative to plan for growth and development in a way that supports economic prosperity, protects the environment, and helps communities achieve a high quality of life. Section 1.2.1 of Guiding Principles includes: Conserve and promote cultural heritage resources to support the social, economic, and cultural well-being of all communities, including First Nations and Métis communities. With the objective of “protecting what is valuable”, Section 4.2.7 of the Growth Plan, 2019 states: 1. Cultural heritage resources will be conserved in order to foster a sense of place and benefit communities, particularly in strategic growth areas. Durham Regional Official Plan (2017) The Site is designated within a Regional Corridor, just outside of the designated Regional Centre and an Urban Growth Centre, according to Schedule A: Regional Structure. Section 1 of the Durham Regional Plan identifies a series of bases, goals and directions. Section 2 relates to the environment and provides the goal “to preserve and foster the attributes of communities and the historic and cultural heritage of the Region.” Cultural heritage policies include: 2.2.11 The conservation, protection and/or enhancement of Durham’s built and cultural heritage resources is encouraged. 2.3.49 Regional Council shall encourage Councils of the area municipalities to utilize the Ontario Heritage Act to conserve, protect, and enhance the built and cultural heritage resources of the municipality, to establish Municipal Heritage Committees to consult regarding matters relating to built and cultural heritage resources planning, and the designation of heritage conservation district and properties provided for n the Ontario Heritage Act. Cultural Heritage Resources: Built herit- age resources, cultural heritage land- scapes and archaeological resources that have been determined to have cultural heritage value or interest for the important contribution they make to our understand- ing of the history of a place, an event, or a people. While some cultural heritage resources may already be identified and inventoried by official sources, the signifi- cance of others can only be determined after evaluation.

The Site is located within Neighbourhood 9: East Village, according to Chapter 12: Urban Neighbourhoods, Map 19. Addressing objectives for the conservation of the City’s cultural heritage resource, the Official Plan requires that “City Council shall respect its cultural heritage, and conserve and integrate important cultural heritage resources from all time periods into the community.” The following heritage policies are relevant to the Site: 8.8 City Council, in consultation with its heritage committee, shall: (a) allow alterations, additions or repairs to buildings designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, provided the changes to the building do not detrimentally affect the heritage value; (c) discourage or prevent the demolition or inappropriate alteration of a heritage resource, but where demolition or inappropriate alteration is unavoidable: (i)consider the acquisition and conservation of the resource; and (ii) if acquisition is not possible, conduct a thorough review and documentation of the resource for archival purposes; 8.9 City Council shall consider the following guidelines on the use and reuse of heritage resources: (a) maintain, if possible, the original use of heritage structures and sites, and if possible, retain the original location and orientation of such structures; (b) where original uses cannot be maintained, support the adaptive reuse of heritage structures and sites to encourage resource conservation; and (c)where no other alternative exists for maintaining heritage structures in their original locations, allow the relocation of the structure to appropriate sites or areas. City of Pickering Official Plan (2018) Definition of Cultural Heritage: Cultural heritage includes archaeological sites and resources; buildings and struc- tural remains of historical, architectural, natural and contextual value; shipwreck sites; traditional use areas; rural districts and settlements; urban neighbourhoods; cultural landscapes of historic interest; and significant views, vistas and ridge lines. More broadly, cultural heritage comprises everything produced and left by the people of a given time and geo- graphic area, the sum of which represents their cultural identity. This includes their folklore, rituals, art, handicrafts, equip- ment, tools, communications, transporta- tion, buildings, furnishings and dwellings. - 135 - 63ISSUED NOVEMBER 24, 2020 | REVISED: FEBRUARY 14, 2022 Kingston Road Intensification Plan (November 2019, Endorsed in Principle by City Council, December 2019) The Kingston Road Intensification Plan was developed by the City of Pickering to direct high-quality mixed use growth and development along Kingston Road. The Plan was endorsed in principle by City Council in December 2019. An Official Plan amendment is currently being drafted to implement the Plan. The Site is located within the Brock Precinct of the Intensification Plan Area within a Mixed Use A area. Post Manor is identified as a “property with heritage significance”. A Gateway Plaza and Privately-Owned Public Space are planned for the Site. The Plan describes these features as follows: Section 3.4.7: Gateway Plazas Gateway Plazas highlight important entry points for vehicles and are located at intersections where there is either existing public land that can be used to provide additional amenity spaces for pedestrians or private land that can be developed as POPS (see 3.4.8) or a combination of both. The Gateway Plazas should include amenity for pedestrians such as seating areas, cycling rings, planters and include larger public features such as art work, fountains or feature benches. Section 3.4.8: Privately Owned Publicly-Accessible Spaces (POPS) Beyond publicly-owned parks, green spaces, plazas and lookouts, privately owned publicly-accessible spaces (POPS) form a key part of the public realm network, providing valuable amenity space through development. POPS are owned and maintained by private landowners, but open to the general public to enjoy. The Intensification Plan identifies privately-owned features which may include Parks, Linear Parks and Urban Squares. These are part of an overall hierarchy of connected open spaces throughout each precinct. POPS are meant to be fully publicly accessible with easy identification and navigation for all user groups. The following sections of the Plan related to heritage are relevant to the Site: Intensification Plan Land Use Plan, with the Site outlined in orange (City of Pickering, an- notated by ERA). Site (annotation added by ERA) - 136 - 64 HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT | 1970-1980 BROCK RD, 1670-1680 KINGSTON RD, PICKERING Section 3.3.8: Heritage Buildings There is one heritage designated building and four buildings of heritage interest within the Kingston Road Corridor and Specialty Retailing Node. The Post Manor located at the north west corner of Brock Road and Kingston Road is a designated historical site which was built by mill owner and lumber merchant Jordan Post in 1841. Sites of heritage interest include 301 Kingston Road, 401 Kingston Road, 1 Evelyn Avenue and 882 Kingston Road. 882 Kingston Road is St. Paul’s on-the-Hill Anglican Church, a brick church structure; the other three are historical residences currently used by local businesses. Heritage buildings are significant for their role in preserving local character, celebrating collective history, building community identity and having educational and cultural value. POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS a. The identified Properties of Heritage Significance as identified on Fig. 7 should be studied for heritage merit and potential designation or listing as appropriate. b. Buildings of heritage significance should be preserved, through methods that are appropriate to the specific building and surrounding context. c. Preservation may include keeping buildings in their existing location, moving buildings to a more appropriate location on the same site to incorporate with new development, or replacing buildings with an urban landscaped feature speaking to its significance and history (i.e. landscaped area with historical signage or plaque). d. A Heritage Impact Assessment is required for development activity on or adjacent to heritage properties, as governed by the Ontario Heritage Act. e. Any redevelopment on or adjacent to heritage properties should be completed in accordance with the Urban Design Guidelines. - 137 - 65ISSUED NOVEMBER 24, 2020 | REVISED: FEBRUARY 14, 2022 Section 4.5 of the Plan: Brock, discusses land use, place making and connectivity considerations specific to the Brock Precinct, including: Post Manor, the only designated heritage building in the corridor and node, is located in the Brock Precinct. Redevelopment of the lands on the northwest corner of Kingston Road and Brock Road shall seek the preservation of and incorporation of the Post Manor, a designated heritage building governed by the Ontario Heritage Act. Kingston Road Corridor Urban Design Guidelines (November 2019, Endorsed in Principle by City Council, December 2019) The Kingston Road Corridor Urban Design Guidelines were developed to accompany the Kingston Road Intensification Plan. The Guidelines are currently in Draft form and were endorsed in principle by City Council in December 2019. The document includes guidance relevant to the identified heritage resource on the Site: Guideline 10.1: Heritage buildings Design Guidelines (i) Heritage buildings and historic elements should be integrated into the wider public realm, and connected to the surrounding public open space network when possible. (ii) Built heritage features on focal sites should be accentuated to create a sense of place and enhance cultural identity. (iii) Through the review of development proposals, the historical significance of designated heritage buildings and buildings with heritage merits shall be assessed to determine how the building or elements can be protected, enhanced or integrated into new development. (iv) Distinct historical eras in the history of Kingston Road in the City of Pickering should be celebrated through public realm treatments on lands with specific ties to those activities, and incorporated into the landscape, lighting, signage, interpretation and art. (v) New development should recognize heritage buildings and historic elements by facilitating opportunities for building and site design - 138 - 66 HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT | 1970-1980 BROCK RD, 1670-1680 KINGSTON RD, PICKERING to reflect the scale, building materials, architectural style and other attributes of adjacent cultural heritage resources (Fig. 60) The Kingston Road Corridor Urban Design Guidelines also contain guidelines regarding the design of gateway plazas: Guideline 3.6: Gateway Plazas Design Guidelines (i) Gateway Plazas shall function as central gathering spaces which can be programmed for public or community events, and as pedestrian gateways and connections which complement the existing streetscape. The dimension, design and furnishing of these spaces should offer comfort and allow for a range of activities accommodating diverse user groups. (II) Gateway Plazas shall be physically and visually connected to the public street and well-designed to relate to surrounding buildings and create the impression of a cohesive public realm. (iii) Gateway Plazas should be framed by adjacent streets, landscape and buildings which are designed to the highest architectural standard. They should respond to the form and function of the site and surrounding uses. (iv) Commercial and mixed-use buildings adjacent to plazas should provide active frontages with direct views and access. Patios are encouraged to be located adjacent to these locations. (v) Gateway Plazas should contribute to a cohesive streetscape through the consistent use of colour, texture and building materials to the surrounding built form. (vi) To create an enjoyable pedestrian environment, Gateway Plazas should incorporate appropriate lighting, signage, water features, and public art, where appropriate (Fig. 56). High quality paving treatments, in combination with landscaped elements including coordinated plantings and street furniture, should also be used. - 139 - 67ISSUED NOVEMBER 24, 2020 | REVISED: FEBRUARY 14, 2022 6 DEScriPtiON OF PrOPOSED DE vELOPmENt The proposed development anticipates the construction of a series of new buildings with a mix of uses: • A 24-32-storey tower building along Kingston Road, atop a six-storey podium base; • A 12-storey mid-rise building at the Site’s centre, atop a six-storey podium base. The building will be connected to the proposed building along Kingston Road via a linking structure between floors three through six, but open at grade (floors one and two); and • An L-shaped row of four-storey stacked townhouses along the Site’s northwest edge. The proposed development would retain and relocate the Post Manor building to 18.3 metres eastward on Site, maintaining its orientation to Brock Road. Post’s Corners plaza, a privately-owned public space (POPS) will be located immediately south of the house and extend south to the intersection as a Gateway Plaza. The house is proposed to be maintained for commercial uses (e.g. a restaurant or cafe). Primary access to the proposed development will be provided off Kingston Road, at the southwest portion of the Site. A secondary parking ramp is proposed from Brock Road, 18.3 metres north of the relocated heritage farmhouse. Three levels of underground parking would accommodate resident, visitor and commercial parking spaces (including parking for the commercial use at Post Manor).

Post Manor is proposed to be fully relocated eastward by 18.3 metres on Site, and adapted for a new commercial use (e.g. a restaurant or cafe). The building’s interior and exterior heritage attributes are proposed to be conserved, and enhanced through restoration as needed. The heritage attributes located in the building’s basement (original stone-walled cold cellars) are proposed to be relocated and reconstructed with the building, and, if possible, access provided through an interpretation strategy, allowing the resource to continue conveying information about the typical operation of a mid-19th- century farmhouse. 7.1 Conservation Scope The following preliminary conservation scope is proposed: • Stabilize the structure in preparation for the relocation*; • Re-grade the Site, and install underground parking at a depth to provide for mature tree growth and a new two-metre base- ment below the relocated building*; • Relocate basement attributes to a new basement beneath the building’s planned location*; • Relocate the structure east within a privately owned public space, with a proposed 12.6 metre setback from Brock Road*; • Conserve the front porch’s existing relationship to grade, whereby no railings are required; • Install a sensitively-designed access ramp along the building’s south elevation to provide porch access while retaining an unimpeded view of the Regency-style porch; • Restore the farmhouse exterior through such works as gener- al masonry cleaning and mortar repairs, repainting wood elements, replacing the roof and repairing the porch, as neces- sary; and • Rehabilitate the farmhouse for new commercial use. Restoration and rehabilitation works will be detailed in a forthcoming Conservation Plan, as required by the City of Pickering. * Refer to the following section on construction staging. Definitions from the Standards & Guide- lines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada (2010): Preservation involves protecting, main- taining and stabilizing the existing form, material and integrity of an historic place or individual component, while protecting its heritage value. Restoration involves accurately reveal- ing, recovering or representing the state of an historic place or individual component as it appeared at a particular period in its history, while protecting its heritage value. Rehabilitation involves the sensitive ad- aptation of an historic place or individual component for a continuing or compatible contemporary use, while protecting its heritage value. - 142 - 70 HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT | 1970-1980 BROCK RD, 1670-1680 KINGSTON RD, PICKERING LEGEND Site Extent of proposed underground parking Post Manor Current location Proposed interim location Proposed final location 7.2 Construction Staging In consultation with a building relocation specialist, the relocation and construction process is proposed to be staged as outlined below to ensure that the Post Manor can be feasibly relocated, and will be secured from construction impacts including vibration: 1. Install relocation beams below the ground floor structure 2. Salvage existing fieldstone foundation and basement heritage attributes (including cellar stairs, cellar doors and materials), and temporarily relocate heritage house to the west; 3. Install perimeter fencing around the heritage house during construction; 4. Excavate and shore the perimeter of the underground parking; 5. When perimeter shoring is completed, move Post Manor to the east to the final proposed location; and 6. When the house is located in its final position, construct new basement foundation below heritage house. Reinstall salvaged materials, including fieldstone foundation, and interpretive cellar elements.

This will alter the historic approach to the house, once set back a considerable distance from the concession road and accessed via a long driveway off of the concession road, and now located within the surface parking lot of a commercial plaza; • High-density new construction is proposed to be built in on Site. A 24-32-storey tower building will be set back from Post Manor and sited along Kingston Road. A 12-storey mid-rise building is proposed to be constructed nine metres west of the rear of Post Manor, with a six-storey podium, a 9.75 metre step - back at the sixth storey. The mid-rise building will be connect- ed on levels 3 through 6 to the building proposed along Kings- ton Road via a linking structure on levels three through six, but open at grade along levels one and two; and • Shadowing impacts are associated with the introduction of massing west and southwest of the retained heritage fabric. A Shadow Study (CMV Architects) is included as Appendix B - Drawing A102. These impacts are reviewed in Section 8.2 8.2 Discussion of Impacts Relocation closer to Brock Road The proposed development anticipates that Post Manor will be relocated closer to Brock Road by 18.3 metres, further altering its historic set back, which has continually been reduced through road widenings, and in the 1980s, developed as a paved surface parking area for the commercial plaza. Relocation is considered necessary and justifiable in order to meet the planning objectives on this site, according to the Kingston Road Intensification Plan and the Kingston Road Corridor Urban Design Guidelines. The proposed scheme allows for intensification that - 144 - 72 HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT | 1970-1980 BROCK RD, 1670-1680 KINGSTON RD, PICKERING meets forthcoming municipal targets with a mix of uses and new public space on the Site, while conserving Post Manor. Heritage attributes related to the house’s location and orientation will be conserved, including: • Location on the corner of Brock and Kingston Roads; • Visibility at the corner of Brock and Kingston Roads; • Mature landscape character. Note that a 12.6-metre setback to Brock Road is proposed to be conserved, representing a reduction of 18.3 metres. Much of the setback that will be lost in the move is presently paved parking area, and currently does not communicate the house’s historic landscape setting. See Appendix C for an expert assessment by McCulloch Building Movers (relocation specialist) that Post Manor can feasibly be relocated. Density and Proximity of New Construction High-density new construction is proposed to be built on Site. The revised proposal provides additional ‘breathing room’ west and south of the retained heritage fabric, by shifting the proposed six-storey podium with tower and mid-rise forms westward. The bulk of the tower massing has been reduced from two 30+ storey towers to a single 24-32-storey tower. This revision to the proposed design allows for density to be consolidated further west on Site, pulling tall contemporary construction away from the retained Post Manor. Within the new proposal, the Site Plan has been reconfigured so that the garage ramp that was previously proposed 4.6 metres north of Post Manor is now located 18.3 metres north of Post Manor. Shadowing Impacts As shown in the shadow study by CMV, afternoon shadows are expected to be cast on Post Manor and the surrounding proposed public space. These shadows are anticipated to begin midday in the winter, spring and fall months, and mid afternoon in the summer months. Refer to page 74 for shadowing diagrams and Appendix B - Drawing A102 for the full Shadow Study by CMV Architects. - 145 - 73ISSUED NOVEMBER 24, 2020 | REVISED: FEBRUARY 14, 2022 Every effort has been made to ensure that the wood shingle roof of the farmhouse will have adequate access to sunlight. Revisions to massing and setbacks since the November 2020 submission have minimized this shadowing to the extent possible, while also accommodating density on the Site. Per the Condition Assessment in Section 4.1, the wood shingle roof is nearing the end of its useful life. It was found to be in fair-to-poor condition, as evidenced by the cupping and cracking of shingles over the surface of the roof. As the wood shingles have been identified as a heritage attribute, they will be required to be replaced in-kind, or with comparable materials. Long-term impact mitigation measures that could be implemented at that time might include the installation of a breather layer below the replacement roof materials, or the use of select shingle materials designed to mitigate for longer-term effects of shade and moisture. - 146 - 74 HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT | 1970-1980 BROCK RD, 1670-1680 KINGSTON RD, PICKERING 1970 BROCK ROAD, PICKERING ONTARIO SHADOW STUDIES 9:18 AM 10:18 AM 11:18 AM 1:18 PM 2:18 PM 3:18 PM 4:18 PM 5:18 PM12:18 AM DECEMBER 21ST NO ADJUSTMENT FOR DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME WINTER SOLSTICE 1970 BROCK ROAD, PICKERING ONTARIO SHADOW STUDIES 9:18 AM 10:18 AM 11:18 AM 12:18 PM 1:18 PM 2:18 PM 2:18 PM 3:18 PM 3:18 PM 4:18 PM 4:18 PM 5:18 PM 5:18 PM SEPTEMBER 21ST 1970 BROCK ROAD, PICKERING ONTARIO SHADOW STUDIES 9:18 AM 10:18 AM 11:18 AM 12:18 PM 1:18 PM 2:18 PM 2:18 PM 3:18 PM 3:18 PM 4:18 PM 4:18 PM 5:18 PM 5:18 PM SEPTEMBER 21ST Annotated shadow study diagrams demonstrating sunlight conditions throughout the year.

The strategy was designed with the objective of conserving the cultural heritage value of Post Manor, a rural agricultural resource, while acknowledging the evolution of its context, and its prospective role on a higher-density urban site as directed by City of Pickering policy. Recognizing that the intersection’s history as a rural crossroads community has been eradicated through suburban development and major road widenings, an Interpretation Strategy is proposed to revive and communicate the stories of Post’s Corners. The strategy’s central component is an Interpretive Landscape Plan (see Section 8.3.2), which envisions a contemporary adaptation of the historic Ontario farmstead typology. The proposed development has been designed to be compatible with the Site’s character and value. The following mitigation measures achieve this objective: • Interpretation strategy; • Interpretive landscape plan; and • Design of new construction. These measures are discussed further in the following sections. - 148 - 76 HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT | 1970-1980 BROCK RD, 1670-1680 KINGSTON RD, PICKERING 8.3.1 Interpretation Strategy Much of Post Manor’s value lies in the opportunity to understand rural agricultural heritage in Pickering. With Pickering’s ongoing evolution, these values will not be communicated on this Site and others solely through the conservation of built heritage resources. An interpretation strategy is proposed to be designed for the new urban neighbourhood on Site to engage residents and visitors in the history of the Site and its context. The interpretation strategy is recommended to include media such as: • Photographs, panels, archival maps or other visual cues to communicate the area’s history as a rural crossroads commu- nity, and the site’s relationship to the adjacent cemetery; • The display of artefacts, e.g. early box locks; • Programming established in the basement space and within the rear yard to provide agricultural heritage learning oppor- tunities using the original stone-walled cold cellars; access through the exterior basement stair; • A large-scale landscape concept that interprets and ‘contem- porizes’ the typological features of the historic farmstead (see Section 8.3.2). Multi-media interpretative installations are proposed to be explored in further detail in a Heritage Interpretation Plan. The 1860 Ontario County map pro- vides a jumping-off point to interpret early settlement history, through the positioning of sawmills, rural churches and cemeteries, farmsteads and vil- lages (University of Toronto).

Through a study of the historic Ontario farmstead, ERA has developed a strategy to both conserve Post Manor’s setting, and transition to a more urban character for the public areas within the Site’s interior. This strategy has been updated per the revised architectural concept and feedback received to date. 1970 Brock Road, Pickering | Landscape Concept | Feb 14, 2022 PAGE 5 The future of 1970 Brock acknowledges the ongoing evolution of this site, from agricultural to suburban to urban.

The Plan is comprised of the following zones: Zone 1: Post’s Corners Post’s Corners, the proposed Gateway Plaza (approximately 880 square metres), will commemorate the historic crossroads community once located at the intersection of Brock and Kingston Roads, and provide flexible social gathering space. A combination of hardscaping and softscaping is proposed, including a series of newly-planted trees with soil capacity to grow to maturity. A low garden wall with protective plantings is envisioned near the corner, and will serve to mitigate noise and shelter pedestrians from the busy street, while conserving views to Post Manor at the intersection. Zone 2: Farmhouse Farmhouse lawns The “beautiful lawns” referenced in turn-of-the-century news articles are conserved under the proposed Landscape Plan. Large-scale lawn areas are proposed along Brock Road, and along portions of the farmhouse’s south and east elevations. Landscape materials in these areas have been curated to create rural farmhouse views along Brock and Kingston Roads. An interpretive fence with an operable front gate will mark the threshold to Brock Road, referencing the ornate fencing along Brock Road in this location at the turn of the 20th century. Rear Kitchen Garden & Cellar Access The pedestrian experience of Post Manor is most likely to occur on the Site’s interior. Residents and visitors will approach Post Manor from the rear, either emerging from their homes on Site, Post’s Corners plaza, the Site’s underground or at-grade parking, or from within the building itself. A kitchen garden is envisioned at the west elevation of the house. It is meant to serve as a place for community-based food production and gathering. The kitchen garden is intended to provide an urban agricultural experience that interprets the history of food production on Site, while serving as an amenity for its new residents. This program is proposed to be developed further in future with a community-based operator. 1970 Brock Road, Pickering | Landscape Concept | Feb 14, 2022 PAGE 10 The site is divided into three interpretation zones, each designed for different intensities and functions.

This zone interprets a typical drivelane of a farmstead with its tire tracks, varied textures, and undulating boundaries. Design features include textured heavy duty paving and a planted median. Small trees and raised planters along building edges are proposed to line the lane. This right-of-way fulfills the requirements for an emergency access lane, but is intended to function on a daily basis as a pedestrian-only thoroughfare within the Site. Brock Road fencing along the front yard property line is also proposed along both sides of Farmstead Lane. An interpretive double-door farm gate will be located at the lane entrance. One leaf will be left open at all times, with the second leaf opened when necessary to allow for emergency vehicle use. This gate solution is proposed to deter Brock Road drivers from identifying the lane as a vehicular access point, and has been approved by the City of Pickering Fire Department as a functional emergency access. Review this description in conjunction with Appendix D (Landscape Concept Plan 2022, ERA) for the detailed landscape design concept, explanatory graphics and precedent images. 8.3.3 Design of New Construction The new construction on Site has been designed to mitigate impact on the Site’s heritage value and attributes. Built Form The bulk of massing (24-32-storey tower) is being focused south of Post Manor along Kingston Road, with a stepback at the sixth storey and the 24th storey. The 12-storey building west of Post Manor has been strategically sited and stepped back as follows: • Six-storey podium base (connected to the base of the 24-32-storey building via a shared six-storey podium, open at grade on floors one and two) setback nine metres from Post Manor’s west elevation; and • 9.75 metre stepback above the sixth storey. Contemporary materials compatible with Post Manor will be selected for all new construction at the Site Plan Application stage. 1970 Brock Road, Pickering | Landscape Concept | Feb 14, 2022 PAGE 10 The site is divided into three interpretation zones, each designed for different intensities and functions.

In particular, there is an intent to plant appropriate tree species that have the soil depth and quality to grow to maturity, it order to mitigate for the removal of the existing mature trees to the south of Post Manor. This is a long-range plan that will take some time to regenerate, but is intended as a sustainable conservation strategy in the long term. In order to provide such soil depth and quality, the entire area at the corner of Brock and Kingston Roads (under Post Manor and the Post’s Corners plaza) is proposed to be left untouched, and not excavated for shoring, below-grade parking or new construction. This strategy is also proposed to mitigate for any shadowing that may pose challenges for the growth of mature landscape character. Within the new proposal, the Site Plan has been reconfigured so that the garage ramp that was previously proposed 4.6 metres north of Post Manor is now located 18.3 metres north of Post Manor. A portion of this ramp has been internalized below the proposed townhouses. 6.0 0 m 9.00m 7.5 0 m 4 STOREY 3 STOREY 4 S T O R E Y 3 S T O R E Y 4 STOREY 3 STOREY 12 STOREY MID-RISEPROPOSED BUILDING15660 M2 PROPOSEDLOCATIONOFEXISTINGHERITAGEHOUSE355 m2 8.8 m 32 STOREYHIGH-RISE PROPOSEDBUILDING 4. 5 0 m 3. 0 m OPEN AT GRADE2 STOREYS 24 STOREYHIGH-RISE PROPOSEDBUILDING 6STOREYPROPOSED BUILDINGPODIUM10610 M2 6 STOREY 3760 M2 2295 M2 21890 M2 15.00m 15 . 0 0 m 13 . 0 7 m 12.61m9.00m 4.00m 7.5 0 m 26 . 4 0 m 19 . 4 6 m 20.68m 18.75m 30.43m 13 . 7 5 m 1 7 . 1 5 m AVERAGE FLOORPLATE 842.5 M2 Seal: ISO A0 Checked By: Feb 11, 2022 - 9:21am Drawing No.: Date Plotted: Drawn By: Drawing Title: Project: Revision No.: Scale: Date Checked: Project No. DateNo. REVISIONS AND DISTRIBUTION LOG Note 247 Spadina Avenue, 4th floor Toronto, Ontario M5T 3A8 www.cmvarch.com T 416.506.1600 F 416.506.0956 A101 2 AS NOTED PROPOSED MIXED USEDEVELOPMENT BROCK AND KINGSTON HOLDINGS INC. 1970 BROCK ROADPICKERING ONTARIO PROPOSED SITE PLAN PC CMV 20A109 1 2020.NOV.20 ISSUED FOR REZONING 2 2022.FEB.14 RE-ISSUED FOR REZONING STATISTICS Site area 12,137.5 m2 GFA 54,616.0 m2 FSI 4.50 Stacked Townhouses 50 (based on 1250 s.f./unit gross) Appt.

BR O C K R D . KINGS T O N R D . - 155 - 83ISSUED NOVEMBER 24, 2020 | REVISED: FEBRUARY 14, 2022 9 cONcLuSiON The property at 1970 Brock Road features an 1842-1843 farmhouse known as Post Manor, currently conserved on a green island in the centre of a parking lot for a 1980s commercial plaza. The Site has been designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. An analysis for cultural heritage value undertaken by ERA as a part of this Report finds that the Site exhibits high craft smanship, and values associated with the mid-19th-century farmhouse type, early settlers Jordan and Matilda Post, and a rural crossroads community represented through historical links to the cemetery across the road. Post Manor is perceived as a landmark by the local community. The Site is the subject of a high-density mixed-use development proposal, in response to planning policy directing the urbanization of sites along Kingston Road. The development proposal retains and relocates Post Manor eastward along Brock Road. Intensification is proposed through a 24-32-storey tower building along Kingston Road and a 12-storey mid-rise in the Site’s centre. The two buildings will each have a six-storey podium that will be connected via a linking structure open at grade. Four-storey stacked townhouses are proposed in an L-shape configuration along the Site’s northwest corner. A green gateway plaza, Post’s Corners plaza, is proposed immediately adjacent to the farmhouse to the south. The proposed development is anticipated to present an impact on the Site’s cultural heritage value through the loss of a portion of its front-yard setback, the change in context due to the high-density new construction and new shadows cast on Post Manor by new construction. The relocated Post Manor building is proposed to be rehabilitated for a public-facing commercial use such as a restaurant or cafe. The proposal represents a reinvestment in the building, with the intent of introducing users to experience the building’s interior craft smanship. A three-fold mitigation strategy is proposed, including: • Compatible design of new construction, including ample setbacks of new construction and parking ramps, stepbacks of upper storeys and contemporary materiality; • A comprehensive interpretation plan that communicates the Site’s rural agricultural heritage; and • An interpretive landscape plan to sensitively transition between the Post Manor lands and the proposed contempo- rary urban community. - 156 - 84 HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT | 1970-1980 BROCK RD, 1670-1680 KINGSTON RD, PICKERING 10 PrOjEct PEr SONNEL Philip Evans Philip Evans is a registered architect with the OAA, principal of ERA Architects and the founder of small.

The historic stone building is in excellent structural condition and is a good candidate for relocation on site. We have reviewed the proposed project and propose the following relocation strategy like previous successful projects that satisfies the site-specific requirements: • The building be loaded in one piece including as much as possible of the side entrance. The cold cellar will need to be salvaged prior to our works for reconstruction • The long addition has no basement so sequential tunnelling will occur followed by beam placement shoring to allow the building to be safely lifted in one piece. • The building will be relocated to a location directly west on an engineered sub base to allow for drilling work to occur near its final location. • Once drilling work is complete the building will relocate to its final location beyond the excavation area • A full height basement will be built Appendix C: Building Relocation Methodology (McCulloch Building Movers, September, 2021) - 184 - Laurie McCulloch Building Moving 2 We have successfully relocated several such large scale heritage buildings on projects such as 100 Yorkville, 56 Blue Jays Way, Gooderham Mansion, James Cooper Mansion, 76 Howard Street.

In addition to the material listed in the original Peer Review letter, the following new or revised documents were reviewed in the preparation of this letter: Applicant Materials •Planning Letter by The Biglieri Group Ltd., February 24, 2022. •Response to Comments table. •1970-1980 Brock Rd, 1670-1680 Kingston Rd, Pickering, Heritage Impact Assessment by E.R.A. Architects Inc., Revised February 14, 2022. •Architectural drawing set re-issued for rezoning by CMV Group Architects, February 14, 2022. PROJECT BACKGROUND This peer review of the revised Heritage Impact Assessment by E.R.A. Architects Inc. (‘ERA’) assesses the report findings and provides a professional opinion on whether the report is consistent with applicable heritage policies as well as the provincial and national cultural heritage framework and best practice. As this is a second submission, this review pays particular attention to revisions made in response to the Peer Review letter by Branch Architecture (April 6, 2021). Attachment #8 - 207 - Page 21970 Brock Road HIA Peer Review, Second Submission The resubmission of the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application proposes a high-density mixed-use development described in the submission material as: • One 24-32-storey tower and one 12-storey mid-rise building with a shared a 6-storey podium; • Two 4-storey townhouse blocks; and, • One stand-alone commercial building, being a designated cultural heritage resource, Post Manor. The application requests a Site Specific Official Plan amendment to allow for a density of 4.5 floor space index as well as Zoning-By-law amendments pertaining to building requirements including: building location and setbacks; permitted uses; minimum required non-residential GLA; minimum building separation; maximum building height; maximum floor space index; parking and bike parking requirements; amenity space; encroachment; rooftop mechanical equipment and mechanical penthouse; and patios. REVIEW OF REVISED HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT The HIA has been revised with regard to the information and comments provided in the Peer Review letter by Branch Architecture. Supplemental responses to cultural heritage issues were found in the Planning Letter and the Response to Comments table. It is my professional opinion that the revised HIA and related resubmission material provide for the conservation of the cultural heritage value and heritage attributes of the property at 1970 Brock Road. The following subsections acknowledge the responses provided in the HIA and supporting documents, and provide further comments as needed. Historical Background This section of the report has been updated to include additional background information on the Subject Property resulting in a fulsome description of its context, history and evolution over time. Of particular interest are the drawings and photographs from the Eric Arthur fonds from the Archives of Ontario. These provide a record of Post Manor prior to the house fire in the late 1950s and further insight on how the building has evolved over time. Assessment of Cultural Heritage Value The Assessment of Cultural Heritage Value includes updates to the Ontario Regulation 9/06 evaluation and DRAFT Statement of Significance. This update was informed by public engagement which determined that Post Manor is a local landmark. This is a complete assessment and an accurate description of the property’s cultural heritage value and heritage attributes. The new diagram showing the visibility of Post Manor at this intersection is a helpful tool in understanding and assessing the potential impacts on this site. - 208 - Page 31970 Brock Road HIA Peer Review, Second Submission Heritage Policy Framework This section has been updated to include heritage policies noted as missing in the Peer Review letter. It now presents a full synopsis of the cultural heritage policies and guidelines. Proposed Development, Conservation Approach, Impact Assessment and Impact Mitigation The Description of the Proposed Development states that the application has been revised to include for: one 24-32-storey tower and one 12-storey mid-rise building with a shared a 6-storey podium; two 4-storey townhouse blocks; and, the relocation, restoration and rehabilitation of Post Manor for commercial use. The updated Conservation Approach presents a considered and informed building relocation plan. The Impact Assessment and Impact Mitigation sections discuss how the proposed development has been revised in the interest of conserving the cultural heritage value and heritage attributes of the property. The Impact Assessment acknowledges that the development will include: the relocation of Post Manor; the introduction of high-density new construction on the site; and, some shadow impacts on Post Manor and the immediate landscape. The HIA presents a balanced discussion and introduces a Conservation Strategy that allows for the restoration and rehabilitation of the building within an improved landscaped setting. Building Relocation The revised HIA proposes to relocate Post Manor east 18.3 m. (toward Brock Road) and ascertains that this change conserves the heritage attributes for the property while allowing for site intensification. It is my opinion that this new relocation proposal is acceptable given that: • Post Manor’s east-facing orientation will be maintained; • Post Manor’s visibility at this intersection will be maintained; • Post Manor will be placed within a landscaped setting that draws design cues from archival documentation of the property’s agricultural heritage; • A heritage building mover has determined that the building is a good candidate for relo- cation and provided a general approach to completing the work; and, • A construction staging plan has been provided that allows for the building’s relocation and protection during the construction period. Impact of the New Construction & Impact Mitigation The revised HIA discusses how the design of the proposed development has been modified to mitigate the impact of the new high-density construction on the heritage attributes of the property. In brief, the building placement, footprints, massing, height and below grade parking extents have been altered to: • Maintain Post Manor’s visual prominence at this intersection; - 209 - Page 41970 Brock Road HIA Peer Review, Second Submission • Provide a mature landscaped setting for Post Manor that extends from Post’s Corners (the POP or Privately Owned Publicly-Accessible Space at the corner), north along Brock Road and around the rear of the building; and, • Significantly reduce the shadow impacts of the new construction on Post Manor and the immediate landscape. In addition, the impact mitigation strategy includes for heritage interpretation in the form of multi- media interpretive installations and a landscape design developed around the themes of rural agricultural heritage. It is my opinion that revised HIA presents a thoughtful and earnest approach to conserve the cultural heritage value and heritage attributes of the Post Manor property. With respect to the high-density new construction, I recommend this design is further developed with the interest of meaningfully engaging with the heritage portion of the property and enhancing the visual prominence of Post Manor. As per heritage best practice, that new design should strike the balance of being clearly legible as a high quality contemporary intervention and be visually compatible with the heritage building. The proposed landscape design that extends the rural heritage themes into the overall urban design of the site will serve as a complementary design element between the new and the old. In the preparation for the Site Plan Control submission, recommend that the heritage consultants advise on the finer grained design of the buildings (in particular the composition and materiality of the adjacent 6-storey podium and 4-storey townhouses) as well as the urban design and landscape to ensure it is compatible with Post Manor’s heritage attributes. SUMMARY COMMENTS In my professional opinion that the revised HIA provides for the conservation of the heritage property at 1970 Brock Road within the context of the proposed development. The HIA demonstrates a thorough knowledge of the history of the property and understanding of the heritage building, and presents a very thoughtful conservation strategy that allows for the restoration and rehabilitation of Post Manor a sympathetic landscape and integrated setting. The report honestly acknowledges the impacts of the proposed development on Post Manor and proposes a number of mitigation measures to enhance the cultural heritage of the site. The revised design of the proposed development allows for Post Manor to maintain its visibility as a landmark at this corner and for it to be integrated into the Post’s Corners POP (Privately Owned Publicly-Accessible Space). It is evident that the new design responds to the local importance of Post Manor. This is seen in the massing and height reductions to maintain the prominence of Post Manor and limit shadow impacts, the increased building setbacks from Post Manor to avoid crowding the former farmhouse, and the uniquely themed landscape design that speaks to Pickering’s agricultural heritage. This proposal conserves the cultural heritage value and heritage attributes of this local landmark. - 210 - Page 51970 Brock Road HIA Peer Review, Second Submission As part of the ongoing planning process, I recommend that: • The heritage designation by-law is updated to reflect the findings of the HIA research; and, • The heritage consultants provide a Conservation Plan to City Planning Staff. This often forms a condition of Site Plan Control. The Conservation Plan should include the following: • Further discussion on how the new buildings have been designed to be compatible with the heritage attributes of the property; • A full written description of the conservation scope of work; • Heritage drawings describing the building relocation, restoration and rehabilitation work (including building code and accessibility upgrades); • A Heritage Interpretation Plan detailing the proposed multi-faceted interpretation strategy; • A Interpretive Landscape Plan with; drawings; • A description of site and/or building lighting (as applies); • A description of site and/or building signage (as applies); and, • Long-term building conservation and maintenance plan guidelines. Please contact me should you require any further details or clarifications. Sincerely, Lindsay Reid OAA CAHP LEED Principal, Branch Architecture - 211 -
