Report to Council Report Number: PLN 45-22 Date: September 20, 2022 From: Kyle Bentley Director, City Development & CBO Subject: Demolition Application Caplink Limited 815 Highway 7 Associated Applications: Draft Plan of Subdivision SP-2022-02 and Zoning By-law Amendment A 04/22 Recommendation: 1.That Council does not object to the Demolition Application, submitted by Caplink Limited, to demolish two barns and two silos located at 815 Highway 7, subject to the following conditions: a.that the materials from Barns 1 and 2, and Silo 1, be salvaged and reused, as outlined in Table 7-1 of Cultural Heritage Resources Documentation Report, 815 Highway 7, prepared by WSP, dated August 22, 2022; b.that the salvaged materials be stored in a covered and secured location; c.that salvaged elements be incorporated into the proposed development with interpretation; and d.that if the salvaged materials cannot be incorporated into the proposed development, the Owner will make best efforts to donate to a public body such as the City of Pickering, Pickering Museum Village, Black Creek Pioneer Village etc.; and deliver at the Owner’s cost, as deemed reasonably fit by the parties; and 2.That the City of Pickering Municipal Heritage Register be updated to record the demolition of the two barns and two silos for lands located at 815 Highway 7. Executive Summary: Caplink Limited has submitted an application to demolish barns and silos located at 815 Highway 7. The removal of the buildings allows the site to be developed for large-scale employment use, located in the Pickering Innovation Corridor, within the Seaton Community. The submitted heritage reports have been completed in keeping with best practices, and they provide a responsible plan for the conservation of the most significant built attributes of the property. Staff recommend that the demolition application be approved, and support the salvage of materials and incorporate the materials into the proposed development with interpretation. Financial Implications: No direct costs to the City are anticipated as a result of the recommendation of this report. PLN 45-22 Subject: Caplink Limited September 20, 2022 Page 2 Discussion: 1.Background Caplink Limited (FGF Brands) has submitted applications for Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment to facilitate a food manufacturing facility, located at the southwest corner of Highway 7 and Whites Road, municipally known as 745 and 815 Highway 7 (see Air Photo Map, Attachment #1). The lands are approximately 26 hectares in size, located in the Pickering Innovation Corridor Neighbourhood, within the Seaton Community. The eastern portion of the lands, 815 Highway 7, is occupied by a one-and-a-half-storey brick dwelling (circa 1853), known as the Percy House, and two barns and two silos. The property is listed as a non-designated property on the City of Pickering’s Municipal Heritage Register, pursuant to Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The Percy House will be relocated to the southeast corner of Highway 7 and a new municipal road, and sited within a landscaped area. The building will be used for a learning centre/office use (see Submitted Conceptual Landscape Plan, Attachment #2). The applicant is proposing to demolish the rear addition to the farmhouse and construct a 185 square metre modern addition. To accommodate the development, the barns and silos are proposed to be demolished, with select building materials to be salvaged for reuse on or off-site. 1.1 The City received a Demolition Application to remove Barns and Silos On August 25, 2022, Caplink Limited submitted a Demolition Application (City File 2022 009639 DP) to demolish/dismantle two barns and two silos on lands located at 815 Highway 7. The location of the barns and silos are shown on the Location Plan of Existing Structures, Attachment #3. 1.2 Demolition requirements under the Ontario Heritage Act The subject lands are listed as a non-designated property on the City of Pickering’s Municipal Heritage Register. Section 27 (9) of the Ontario Heritage Act provides interim protection against demolition in the form of a 60-day delay in issuing a demolition permit. The Ontario Heritage Act requires that the owner gives the council of the municipality at least 60 days notice in writing of the owner’s intention to demolish or remove a building or structure on the lands, and the notice shall include additional information required by the municipality. The City may in that time consider conservation options, including proceeding to designation or removing the property from the Municipal Heritage Register. Council must consult with its municipal heritage committee. PLN 45-22 Subject: Caplink Limited September 20, 2022 Page 3 1.3 Documentation and Salvage Plan Submitted Accompanying the Demolition Application, the applicant submitted a Cultural Heritage Resources Documentation Report (CHRDR) (815 Highway 7), prepared by WSP, dated August 22, 2022, and a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA), prepared by WSP, dated August 19, 2022. The CHRDR (see CHRDR, Attachment #4) provides documentation of the buildings (written, photographic and plan drawings), an itemized list of suggested materials for salvage for each building, and recommendations for how the salvage work should be undertaken. Below are photos from the CHRDR of Barns 1 and 2, and Silo 1. Photo 29: East façade of Barn 1 (WSP, 2022) Photo 43: View of the interior of Barn 1 (WSP, 2022) Photo 63: West elevation of Barn 2 (WSP, 2022) Photo 53: Details of Silo 1 (WSP, 2022) PLN 45-22 Subject: Caplink Limited September 20, 2022 Page 4 Section 7 of the CHRDR, Table 7-1, outlines the materials suggested for salvage and reuse. Section 8 of the CHRDR, provides an overview of the opportunities for salvage and reuse of the building materials including: Barns 1 and 2: •stone foundation material; •exterior cladding; •vents; •lightning rods; •wood beams and uprights; and •brick pavers. Silo 1 (Wooden Silo): •all materials from Silo 1. The report recommends the building elements are stored in a covered and secure location, and that salvaged elements are incorporated into the proposed development with interpretation. 2. Analysis 2.1 Heritage Pickering Advisory Committee supports the dismantling of the barns and silos On September 7, 2022, the demolition application was presented to the Heritage Pickering Advisory Committee. The Committee requested that the applicant provide additional information regarding the interim protection of the Percy House prior to the removal of existing trees and other vegetation surrounding the house. They also requested clarification on whether the dismantling of the barn will have an impact on the barn swallows. Heritage Pickering recommended that the request to demolish the barns and silos be approved, subject to the following terms and conditions: 1.That Heritage Pickering Advisory Committee does not object to the submitted Demolition Application (file number 2022 009639 DP) to demolish/dismantle two barns (Barn 1 and Barn 2) and two silos (Silo 1 and Silo 2); 2.That the Municipal Heritage Register be updated to record the demolition of the two barns and two silos; 3.That the materials from Barns 1 and 2 and Silo 1 will be salvaged and reused, as outlined in Table 7-1 of Cultural Heritage Resources Documentation Report (815 Highway 7), dated August 22, 2022, prepared by WSP; 4.That salvaged materials be stored in a covered and secured location, and that salvaged elements are incorporated into the proposed development with interpretation; and PLN 45-22 September 20, 2022 Subject: Caplink Limited Page 5 5.That if the salvaged materials cannot be incorporated into the proposed development, the Owner will make efforts to donate to a public body, such as the City of Pickering, Pickering Museum Village, Black Creek Pioneer Village, etc.; and deliver at the Owner’s cost, as deemed reasonably fit by the parties. On September 13, 2022, staff forwarded an email to the Committee from the applicant’s consultants, addressing the additional information requested by the Committee. The applicant has advised that temporary protective fencing around the Percy House will be erected immediately to protect the heritage structure during the removal of vegetation on the property. This fencing will delineate a clear path around the heritage structure for machinery to safely operate. Should any removal of vegetation be required close to the Percy House, a qualified heritage professional will be on-site to monitor and advise. Once the vegetation is removed, permanent protective fencing will be erected in accordance with the Temporary Protection and Mothball Plan, prepared by WSP, dated August 22, 2022. The submitted Environmental Impact Study, prepared by Palmer Environmental, dated June 3, 2022, identified barn swallow nests within the two existing barns on the 815 Highway 7 property. Only one nest was identified as being active. In accordance with Ministry guidelines, the breeding window for barn swallows is between May and August. The barns will be assessed prior to any dismantling of the buildings to ensure the nests are not active, and new habitat will be created prior to the Spring of 2023 in the form of nesting structures. 2.2 Staff support the request to demolish the barns and silos and salvage the materials for potential reuse within the development The City retained Branch Architecture to review the materials and studies submitted in support of the Demolition Application. The reviewer advised that the submitted heritage reports have been completed in keeping with best practices, and that they provide a responsible plan for the conservation of the most significant built attributes of the property. Branch Architecture recommends that the salvaged elements of the two barns and Silo 1 (wood crib silo) is reused and meaningfully integrated into the larger development. Furthermore, the reviewer recommended that Caplink Limited submit a Conservation Plan as part of the ongoing approval process. Staff concur with the analysis and recommendations provided by Branch Architecture. Staff support the request by Caplink Limited to demolish the two barns and silos on the subject lands. The removal of the buildings allows the site to be developed for large-scale employment use, located within a designated employment area within the Seaton Community. Staff support the salvage of materials and incorporate the materials into the proposed development with interpretation. Furthermore, in relation to the greater site redevelopment, staff strongly support the restoration and rehabilitation of the Percy House, and the proposed designation of the property under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. A heritage designation by-law will be presented to Council following the final siting of the Percy House through the site plan review process, and in consultation with the Heritage Pickering Advisory Committee.

The report was undertaken to accompany the submission of a Site Plan Application. CapLink Limited is proposing to develop a 23.8-hectare parcel of land that consists of two properties on Highway 7, including: 815 and 745 Highway 7 (the project location). The proposed development consists of the phased construction of five industrial buildings as part of the development of the FGF Pickering Manufacturing Campus. CapLink Limited plans to demolish the addition connected to the Percy House due to structural and architectural deficiencies and relocate the Percy House to a new location. The two barns (Barn 1 and Barn 2) and two silos (Silo 1 and Silo 2) will be demolished and materials from Barns 1 and 2 and Silo 1 will be salvaged. The property at 815 Highway 7 is comprised of a one-and-a-half storey Ontario Cottage (the Percy House) with Neo-Classical and Georgian influences, constructed of brick in 1853, as well as two Central Ontario bank barns and two silos. The subject property is listed as a non-designated property on the City of Pickering’s Municipal Heritage Register pursuant to Section 27 (1.2) of the Ontario Heritage Act. A Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) was completed by WSP (WSP, 2022), and identified impacts to the subject property as well as outlined a range of mitigation measures such as adaptive reuse, relocation, demolition, salvage of brick or other material before building removal etc. Ultimately, the HIA determined that the proposed design would have direct adverse impacts on the heritage attributes of the subject property. Retention of the buildings in situ was demonstrated to be unfeasible, as such, the HIA recommended a CHRDR be completed by a Qualified Heritage Professional. As the City of Pickering does not have guidance for completing CHRDRs, this CHRDR was prepared according to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation’s Environmental Guide for Built Heritage and Cultural Heritage Landscapes (November 2007), Section 6.3.1.4 Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report for Built Heritage Resources. This report provides an archival record of the subject building according to the Environmental Guide for Built Heritage and Cultural Heritage Landscapes and should be deposited with the City of Pickering’s Heritage Planning staff and the Archives at Pickering Public Library. The subject property will be impacted by the construction of the FGF Pickering Manufacturing Campus and as a result, WSP makes the following recommendations: 1 The destination of salvaged materials outlined in Table 7-1 should be determined prior to the initiation of any salvage process. 2 Contract documentation should include information regarding the CHVI of the aforementioned properties, specifically the List of Heritage Attributes. 3 The salvaged materials should be stored in a covered and secured location until they can be used. 4 Consideration should be given to the incorporation of salvaged materials, such as brick and beams, into the proposed development. 5 Incorporation of salvaged materials into the proposed development should be accompanied by interpretation, (i.e. a plaque or other commemoration device), so residents and visitors can understand the provenance of the materials. 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page vi 6 The chosen contractor should propose an approach for the labelling and storage of materials salvaged until they can be incorporated into the proposed development or donated to an architectural salvage. 7 Materials should only be salvaged if they are suitable for re-use in other buildings or projects. As a result, the material must be not irreparably damaged or infested. 8 Materials should be extracted in a way that ensures they will not be irreparably damaged. 9 A copy of this report should be provided to municipal Planning Staff for review and once finalized, submitted to the Archives at Whitby Public Library. 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page vii 1 INTRODUCTION ........................................... 10 2 CONTEXT AND METHODOLOGY ............... 14 2.1 Provincial Policy Context ......................................... 14 2.1.1 The Ontario Planning Act and Provincial Policy Statement .............. 14 2.1.2 Ontario Heritage Act...................................................................... 15 2.1.3 Environmental Guide for Built Heritage and Cultural Heritage Landscapes .................................................................................. 15 2.1.4 City of Pickering OFficial Plan ........................................................ 16 3 PROJECT CONTEXT ................................... 18 4 HISTORICAL CONTEXT ............................... 19 4.1 Pre-European Contact Period .................................. 19 4.2 Pre-Confederation Treaties ...................................... 20 4.3 Ontario County.......................................................... 20 4.4 Pickering Township .................................................. 21 4.5 Community of Whitevale .......................................... 22 4.6 Community of Green River ....................................... 22 4.7 Site Specific History: 815 Highway 7, Pickering ...... 23 5 STATEMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE VALUE OR INTEREST ................................. 26 5.1 Context: 815 highway 7 ............................................ 26 5.1.1 Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest ............................. 26 5.1.2 Heritage Attributes ........................................................................ 26 6 DOCUMENTATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY................................................... 29 6.1 Context ...................................................................... 29 6.1.1 Percy House, Rear Addition .......................................................... 29 6.1.1.1 Exterior 29 6.1.1.2 Interior 30 6.1.2 Bank Barn 1 ................................................................................. 33 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page viii 6.1.2.1 Exterior 33 6.1.2.2 Interior 34 6.1.3 Silo 1 ............................................................................................ 34 6.1.4 Bank Barn 2 ................................................................................. 36 6.1.4.1 Exterior 36 6.1.4.2 Interior 36 7 SALVAGE OPPORTUNITIES ....................... 70 7.1 Artifact Curation and Reuse ..................................... 70 7.1.1 Suggested Materials for Salvage ................................................... 70 8 RECOMMENDATIONS ................................. 75 BIBLIOGRAPHY ...................................................... 77 TABLES TABLE 7-1: SALVAGEABLE MATERIALS: 815 HIGHWAY 7, PICKERING ONTARIO ........................................................ 71 FIGURES FIGURE 1: PROJECT LOCATION ............................ 11 FIGURE 2: LOCATION OF STUDY AREA ................ 12 FIGURE 3: MAP OF EXISTING CONDITIONS ......... 13 FIGURE 4: FLOOR PLAN OF THE PERCY HOUSE ADDITION WITH PHOTO LOCATIONS .................... 32 FIGURE 5: FLOOR PLAN OF THE LOWER LEVEL OF BARN 1 AND SILO 1 WITH PHOTO LOCATIONS .... 35 FIGURE 6: FLOOR PLAN OF THE LOWER LEVEL OF BARN 2 WITH PHOTO LOCATIONS ........................ 37 FIGURE 7: ILLUSTRATED HISTORICAL ATLAS OF THE COUNTY OF PICKERING (J.H.

All decisions affecting land use planning “shall be consistent with” the PPS, which identifies that properties and features demonstrating significant architectural, cultural, historical, archaeological, technical, or scientific interest are of provincial interest and should be conserved. The importance of identifying, evaluating, and conserving built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes is noted in two sections of the PPS: — Section 2.6.1 – “Significant built heritage resources and significant heritage landscapes shall be conserved”; and, — Section 2.6.3 – “Planning authorities shall not permit development and site alteration on adjacent lands to protected heritage property except where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conserved.” The following concepts, as defined in the PPS, are fundamental to an understanding of the conservation of cultural heritage resources in Ontario: Built heritage resources (BHR) are defined as “a building, structure, monument, installation or any manufactured or constructed part or remnant that contributes to a property’s cultural heritage value or interest as identified by a community, including an Indigenous community. Built heritage resources are located on property that may be designated under Parts IV or V of the Ontario Heritage Act, or that may be included on local, provincial, federal and/or international registers.” Conserved is defined as “the identification, protection, management and use of built heritage resources, cultural heritage landscapes and archaeological resources in a manner that ensures their cultural heritage value or interest is retained. This may be achieved by the implementation of recommendations set out in a conservation plan, archaeological assessment, and/or heritage impact assessment that has been approved, accepted or adopted by the relevant planning authority and/or decision-maker. Mitigative measures and/or alternative development approaches can be included in these plans and assessments.” Cultural heritage landscapes (CHL) “means a defined geographical area that may have been modified by human activity and is identified as having cultural heritage value or interest by a community, including an Indigenous community. The area may include features such as buildings, structures, spaces, views, archaeological sites or natural elements that are valued together for their interrelationship, meaning or association. Cultural heritage landscapes may be properties that have been determined to have cultural heritage value or interest under the Ontario Heritage Act, or have been included on federal and/or international registers, and/or protected through official plan, zoning by-law, or other land use planning mechanisms.” Heritage attributes “means the principal features or elements that contribute to a protected heritage property’s cultural heritage value or interest, and may include the property’s built, constructed, or manufactured elements, as well as natural landforms, vegetation, water features, and its visual setting (e.g. significant views or vistas to or from a protected heritage property).” 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page 15 Significant means “in regard to cultural heritage and archaeology, resources that have been determined to have cultural heritage value or interest. Processes and criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest are established by the Province under the authority of the Ontario Heritage Act.” 2.1.2 ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT The OHA gives municipalities and the provincial government powers to preserve the heritage of Ontario, with a primary focus on protecting heritage properties and archaeological sites. The OHA grants authority to municipalities and the province to identify and designate properties of heritage significance, provide standards and guidelines for the preservation of heritage properties and enhance protection of heritage conservation districts, marine heritage sites and archaeological resources. Properties can be designated individually (Part IV of the OHA) or as part of a larger group of properties, known as a Heritage Conservation District (Part V of the OHA). Designation offers protection for the properties under Sections 33 and 34 of the OHA, prohibiting the owner of a designated property from altering, demolishing or removing a building or structure on the property unless the owner applies to the council of the municipality and receives written consent to proceed with the alteration, demolition or removal. In addition to designated properties, the OHA allows municipalities to list properties that are considered to have Cultural Heritage Value or Interest (CHVI) on their Register, which provides interim protection against demolition in the form of a 60-day delay in issuing a demolition permit. Under Part IV, Section 27, municipalities must maintain a Register of properties situated in the municipality that are of CHVI. Section 27 (1.1) states that the Register shall be kept by the Clerk and that it must list all designated properties (Part IV and V). Under Section 27 (1.2), the Register may include a property that has not been designated, but that the municipal council believes to possess CHVI. Listed properties, although recognized as having CHVI, are not protected under the OHA against demolition or unsympathetic alteration as are designated properties but are acknowledged under Section 2 of the PPS (MMAH, 2020). 2.1.3 ENVIRONMENTAL GUIDE FOR BUILT HERITAGE AND CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES The MTO’s Environmental Guide for Built Heritage and Cultural Heritage Landscapes (MTO, 2007) states that where a resource is to be relocated or demolished, a full historical site research, photographic and map recording, and documentation of the resource to be displaced or disrupted should be completed. The following tasks were undertaken as part of the CHRDR for 815 Highway 7: • A general description of the history of the study area as well as a detailed historical summary of property ownership and building(s) development; • A description of the building’s exterior and interior; • Overall dimensional measurements of the exterior of a building or structure; • Representative photographs of the exterior (front, back and side views) of a building or structure; • Detail photography of character-defining architectural resources or elements on the exterior of a building; • Photographic key plans of the exterior of the building, not to scale; and • A site plan. 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page 16 2.1.4 CITY OF PICKERING OFFICIAL PLAN The City of Pickering Official Plan (2018) provides cultural heritage conservation policies in Chapter 8. The following policies provide guidance for development proposals that may impact cultural heritage resources. 8.2 City Council shall: (a) identify important cultural heritage resources from all time periods, so that they can be appropriately conserved and integrated into the community fabric, including: (i) significant heritage structures, features and sites; (ii) buildings, sites, and artifacts of historical, archaeological and architectural significance including modern or recent architecture; (iii) significant landscape features and characteristics, including vistas and ridge lines; and (iv) other locally important cultural heritage resources; (b) foster public awareness and appreciation of the City’s cultural heritage; (c) prevent the demolition, destruction or inappropriate alteration of important cultural heritage resources to the extent possible; (d) where possible, restore, rehabilitate, maintain and enhance important cultural heritage resources owned by the City, and encourage the same for those owned by others; (e) where possible, ensure development, infrastructure, capital works and other private and public projects conserve, protect and enhance important cultural heritage resources; and (f) involve the public, business-people, landowners, local heritage experts, heritage committees, relevant public agencies, and other interested groups and individuals in cultural heritage decisions affecting the City. Cooperation with Others 8.3 City Council shall: (a) assist in identifying, protecting and promoting cultural heritage resources in the municipality, in cooperation with Federal, Provincial and Regional levels of government, as well as private agencies and individuals; (b) consult with its local architectural conservation advisory committee and other heritage committees, and participate with these committees and others in protecting important heritage resources, as necessary, through assembling, resale, public-private partnerships, acquisition or other forms of involvement; (c) ensure that plans, programs and strategies prepared by or for the City and its boards or commissions, shall respect the character and significance of the City’s heritage resources; and (d) use and encourage the use of available government and non-government funding and programs to assist in cultural heritage resource conservation. Ontario Heritage Act 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page 17 8.4 City Council, in consultation with its heritage committee, where warranted shall implement the provisions of the OHA, including the designation under the Act of heritage sites and heritage districts. Cultural Heritage Inventory 8.7 City Council, in association with its heritage committee, shall: (a) conduct an inventory of heritage resources owned by the City, its boards and commissions, and establish an overall program for the maintenance, use, reuse or, if warranted, disposal of these resources; (b) maintain an inventory of heritage resources designated or worthy of designation under the OHA; and (c) store and disseminate cultural heritage resource inventories and databases in convenient and publicly accessible locations and formats, and maintain an archive of heritage conservation information. Cultural Heritage Alteration and Demolition 8.8 City Council, in consultation with its heritage committee, shall: (a) allow alterations, additions or repairs to buildings designated under the OHA, provided the changes to the building do not detrimentally affect the heritage value; (b) allow new buildings, or alterations, additions or repairs to existing buildings within a Heritage Conservation District that are consistent with the District Conservation Guidelines; (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; and (d) ensure that designated cultural heritage buildings, and other important cultural heritage resources that are vacant for an extended period of time are inspected regularly to discourage vandalism and monitor conformity with the City’s Maintenance and Occupancy By-law. Guidelines for Use and Reuse 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. 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page 18 3 PROJECT CONTEXT The proposed development concept for the project location consists of five food manufacturing buildings on the lot, to be built in two phases with Buildings 1, 2, and 3 constructed first, followed by Buildings 4 and 5. The lot is currently zoned Rural Agricultural, however, it is designated Prestige Employment and Seaton Natural Heritage System in the Pickering Official Plan. The total site area for the proposed development is 23.8 hectares with frontage on Highway 7 and Whites Road. The building footprints are approximately 21,471 (Building 1), 23,378 m2 (Building 2), 21,471 m2 (Building 3), 21,471 m2 (Building 4), and 9,858 m2 (Building 5). The site will contain approximately 87 truck loading bays, 690 parking stalls and 120 spaces for trailer parking. Vehicular access is proposed via signalized access point from Highway 7 with proposed municipal roads providing access to the proposed development. 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page 19 4 HISTORICAL CONTEXT 4.1 PRE-EUROPEAN CONTACT PERIOD The first populations to occupy Southern Ontario are referred to as Paleoindians (Ellis and Deller, 1990:39). Paleo period populations moved into the region following the retreat of the Laurentide Ice Sheet approximately 11,000 years before present (BP). Early Paleo period groups are identified by their distinctive projectile point morphologies, exhibiting long grooves, or ‘flutes’, that likely functioned as a hafting mechanism. These Early Paleo group projectile morphologies include Gainey (c.10,900 BP), Barnes (c.10,700 BP), and Crowfield (c.10,500 BP) (Ellis and Deller, 1990:39-43). By approximately 10,400 BP, Paleo projectile points transitioned to various un-fluted varieties such as Holocombe (c.10,300 BP), Hi-Lo (c.10,100 BP), and Unstemmed and Stemmed Lanceolate (c.10,400 to 9,500 BP). These morphologies were utilized by Late Paleo period groups (Ellis and Deller, 1990:40). Both Early and Late Paleo period populations were highly mobile, participating in the hunting of large game animals. Paleo period sites often functioned as small campsites (less than 200 m2) where stone tool production and maintenance occurred (Ellis and Deller, 1990). By approximately 8,000 BP the climate of Ontario began to warm. As a result, deciduous flora began to colonize the region. With this shift in flora came new faunal resources, resulting in a transition in the ways populations exploited their environments. This transition resulted in a change of tool-kits and subsistence strategies recognizable in the archaeological record, resulting in what is referred to archaeologically as the Archaic period. The Archaic period in Southern Ontario is dived into three phases: the Early Archaic (c.10,000 to 8,000 BP), the Middle Archaic (c.8,000 to 4,500 BP) and the Late Archaic (c.4,500 to 2,800 BP) (Ellis et al., 1990). The Archaic period is differentiated from earlier Paleo populations by several traits such as: 1) an increase in tool stone variation and reliance on local tool stone sources, 2) the emergence of notched and stemmed projectile point morphologies, 3) a reduction in extensively flaked tools, 4) the use of native copper, 5) the use of bone tools for hooks, gorges, and harpoons, 6) an increase in extensive trade networks and 7) the production of ground stone tools. Also noted is an increase in the recovery of large woodworking tools such as chisels, adzes, and axes (Ellis and Deller, 1990:65- 66). The Archaic period is also marked by population growth. Archaeological evidence suggests that by the end of the Middle Archaic period (c.4,500 BP) populations were steadily increasing in size (Ellis et al., 1990). Over the course of the Archaic period populations began to rely on more localized hunting and gathering territories. By the end of the Archaic period, populations were utilizing more seasonal rounds. From spring to fall, settlements would exploit lakeshore/riverine locations where a broad-based subsistence strategy could be employed, while the late fall and winter months would be spent at interior site where deer hunting was likely a primary focus with some wild edibles likely being collected (Ellis and Deller, 1990:114). This steady increase in population size and adoption of a more localized seasonal subsistence strategy eventually evolved into what is termed the Woodland period. 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page 20 The Woodland period is characterized by the emergence of ceramic technology for the manufacture of pottery. Like the Archaic period, the Woodland period is separated into three primary timeframes: the Early Woodland (approximately 800 BC to 0 AD), the Middle Woodland (approximately 0 AD to 700/900 AD) and the Late Woodland (approximately 900 AD to 1600 AD) (Spence et al., 1990; Fox, 1990). The Early Woodland period is represented in Southern Ontario by two different cultural complexes: the Meadowood Complex (c. 900 to 500 BC) and the Middlesex Complex (c. 500 BC to 0 AD). During this period the life ways of Early Woodland population differed little from that of the Late Archaic with hunting and gathering representing the primary subsistence strategies. The pottery of this period is characterized by its relatively crude construction and lack of decorations. These early ceramics exhibit cord impressions, likely resulting from the techniques used during manufacture (Spence et al., 1990). The Middle Woodland period is differentiated from the Early Woodland period by changes in lithic tool morphologies (projectile points) and the increased elaboration of ceramic vessels (Spence et al., 1990). In Southern Ontario, the Middle Woodland is observed in three different cultural complexes: the Point Peninsula Complex to the north and northeast of Lake Ontario, the Couture Complex near Lake St. Claire and the Saugeen Complex throughout the remainder of Southern Ontario. These groups can be identified by their use of either dentate or pseudo-scalloped ceramic decorations. It is by the end of the Middle Woodland period that archaeological evidence begins to suggest the rudimentary use of maize (corn) horticulture (Warrick, 2000). The adoption and expansion of maize horticulture during the Late Woodland period allowed for an increase in population size, density, and complexity among Late Woodland populations. As a result, a shift in subsistence and settlement patterns occurred, with the adoption of a more sedentary village life and reliance on maize horticulture, with beans, squash and tobacco also being grown. Nearing the end of the Late Woodland Period (approximately 1400 AD) villages reached their maximum size. During this period, increased warfare resulted in the development of larger villages with extensive palisades. Early contact with European settlers at the end of the Late Woodland, Late Ontario Iroquoian period resulted in extensive change to the traditional lifestyles of most populations inhabiting Southern Ontario. 4.2 PRE-CONFEDERATION TREATIES The study area, located in the City of Pickering, is situated on the lands of the William Treaties and the Johnson-Butler Purchase. The Williams Treaties were signed in October and November of 1923 between the Crown and seven First Nations groups, including the Chippewa of Lake Simcoe (Beausoleil First Nation, Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation, Chippewas of Rama First Nation) and the Mississauga of the north shore of Lake Ontario (Alderville First Nation, Curve Lake First Nation, Hiawatha First Nation, and Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation). The Williams Treaties were the last of the land cession treaties to be signed in Canada, which transferred over 20, 000 square kilometers of land in south-central Ontario to the Crown. 4.3 ONTARIO COUNTY The District of Nassau, created in 1788, was one of four original districts dividing what is now the Province of Ontario. This district was later renamed the Home District, which stretched form the Trent River to Long Point 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page 21 and north to the Severn River. Over the following years these districts were divided until there were 20 districts in all. In 1853, Ontario was separated to become its own County from the United Counties of Ontario, York and Peel. In 1869 its area was estimated at 360,000 acres with 210,000 acres of which were cleared and under cultivation (Conner and Coltson, 1869). By 1854, Ontario County included nine townships: Brock, Mara, Pickering, Rama, Reach, Scott, Thorah, Uxbridge, and Whitby. In the latter half of the nineteenth century the County was known for the quality of its grains and the principal manufactures were flour and lumber (Conner and Coltson, 1869). Ontario County was dissolved in 1974 and the Townships of Rama and Mara were added to Simcoe County. 4.4 PICKERING TOWNSHIP Pickering Township was established in 1791 when Augustus Jones began to survey the area on behalf of the government of Upper Canada. The eastern part of the township was settled by Loyalists, disbanded soldiers, emigrants from the United Kingdom, and a large number of Quakers from both Ireland and the US (Farewell, 1907). Loyalists and their relatives held the vast majority of land grants in Pickering Township in the years following the revolution (Johnson, 1973). By 1793, the Kingston Road was opened to serve as a horse path extending east from Simcoe’s Dundas Street, and in 1799, a rough roadway had been cut from Duffin’s Creek to Port Hope. While early roadworks made the Township more accessible to prospective settlers, actual settlement of Pickering Township proceeded very slowly. Although the first land patent was awarded to Major John Smith in 1792, the first legal settler in Pickering was William Peak in 1798 (Armstrong, 1985; Farewell, 1907). Difficulty clearing the forest led Peak and other early settlers to pursue non-agricultural means to augment income, including trading with Indigenous Peoples in the area (Johnson, 1973). Population growth and Township development remained slow during the early nineteenth century. The War of 1812 halted much of the county and township’s development. After the conflict, increased road traffic provided a boost in business to local innkeepers while soldiers worked to improve existing road conditions. With improved roadways, and a substantial water course in Duffin’s Creek, Pickering Township was soon able to establish saw and grist mills for the production of lumber and grain for export through Toronto. By 1817 the population was 330 (Johnson, 1973). Changes in land-granting policies in the 1820s led to further sales of land in Pickering Township and by 1820 the population was 575 (Johnson, 1973), which grew to 830 by 1825 (Johnson, 1973; Welch and Payne, 2015). A post office was established in 1829 but the hamlet of Duffin's Creek developed slowly. That same year, the Crown worked with the New England Company, a missionary group, to encourage farming and education for the First Nations people. The community that is now known as Curve Lake First Nation was established (Curve Lake First Nation, n.d.). The construction of the Grand Trunk Railway in 1856 and growing agricultural prosperity stimulated the community's development as an important grist-milling and local commercial centre. However, Pickering Township was slow to develop. By 1861 growth had stalled and between 1861 and 1891 a decline in population occurred. Inflation and a depression between 1874-76 did little to help. The population of Pickering Township peaked at 8,002 in 1861 (Johnson, 1973) and by 1891 numbered 5,998 (Johnson, 1973). 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page 22 Through most of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the township remained primarily agricultural. As many communities on the periphery of Toronto, development increased following the Second World War. Manufacturing companies also moved to the township following the construction of Highway 401 in the 1950s and in 1974 the township was divided into eastern and northern parts. Following this, in 1974, the villages of Brougham, Claremont, Green River, Greenwood and Whitevale became the Town of Pickering. In 2000 the Town became incorporated as a City. 4.5 COMMUNITY OF WHITEVALE Situated 1.3 km to the southwest of the study area, the community of Whitevale was founded in 1820 by John Major who built a sawmill along Duffin’s Creek. The community as first known as Majorville as John Major and multiple members of his family lived on the surrounding properties. In 1845, Ira White arrived in Majorville and took over the sawmill. In 1855, the sawmill was purchased by his son, Truman. P. White, who also constructed a grist mill and a cooperage. In the same year, the community also constructed its first general store (Wood, 1911). He later constructed a planning factory in 1866, a brick woollen mill in 1867, and a schoolhouse sometime later. Truman White became a central pillar of the community, and the small hamlet was named Whitevale after him. By 1874, Whitevale contained three general stores, three dressmakers, three gardeners, two shoemaker shops, two churches, two blacksmiths, two wagon shops, a stave and heading factory, a barrel factory, a wagon and carriage factory, a cheese factory, a merchant and tailoring firm, a butcher shop, a tinsmith shop, a school house, an undertakers, a harness shop, a grist mill, a brush factory, a grindstone factory, a barber shop, a post office, and a hotel (Wood, 1911; Whitevale, n.d.). The continued prosperity of Whitevale did not last the turn of the century. The last quarter of the nineteenth century saw the community struck by separate fires at the cooperage, the carriage factory, the public hall, planning mill, grist mill, and the woollen mill. These problems were compounded when Whitevale was bypassed by the Ontario-Quebec railway line, built in 1884 (Whitevale, n.d.). Whitevale remains as an unincorporated community of the City of Pickering. 4.6 COMMUNITY OF GREEN RIVER Situated approximately 3 kilometres west of the subject property, the community of Green River was first settled by Benjamin Doten. Doten arrived in 1849 and established a wagon and blacksmith shop known as Dotenville Carriage Works. Osburn, Rice, Runnals, Vardon, Ferrier, Turner, MacIntyre, Poucher, and the Winter families were among the early families to settle in Green River. William Barnes built a sawmill in 1857 and by 1870, he added a factory to produce tubs, fork and brush handles and baskets. Edward and John Smith were an integral part of the development of Green River, in the early 1870s, they purchased a sawmill and restored it to working order, the also erected a grist mill, a store, and a public hall in the village; they also aided in the establishment of a post office in 1870 (Mika & Mika, 1981). In 1974, Green River was incorporated into the newly created Town of Pickering in the Regional Municipality of Durham 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page 23 4.7 SITE SPECIFIC HISTORY: 815 HIGHWAY 7, PICKERING The subject property is within Lot 27, Concession V, in the Geographic Township of Pickering, now the City of Pickering. The property history has been completed with land registry records, historical maps, census records and archival photographs. It should be noted that the absence of structures or other features shown on the historical maps does not preclude their presence on these properties. Illustrating all homesteads on the historical atlas maps would have been beyond the intended scope of the atlas and, often, homes were only illustrated for those landowners who purchased a subscription. According to the abstract index, on August 4, 1821, Charles Denison received a patent from The Crown for all 200 acres (Book 211, Page 134). On the same day, Charles released all 200 acres to William Baldwin (Book 211, Page 134, Instrument 5083). On August 20, 1821, the lot is sold to William Sleigh (Book 211, Page 134, Instrument 5084). On December 9, 1826, William Sleigh sold Archibald Barker the northwest half of the lot (Book 211, Page 134, Instrument illegible), Barker purchased the northeast half of the lot from Wurz Landon On February 24, 1837. In 1871, a transaction occurred between John Percy and William Major for the north half of the lot, the type of transaction, exact date and compensation, however, is illegible (Book 211, Page 134). The 1837 City of Toronto and the Home District Commercial Directory and Register (Walton, 1837) indicates several occupants for Lot 27, Concession V, they include: George Crowthers, Stephen Hubbard, William Sleigh and Albert Smith. No information regarding the presence of structures is provided in the directory. Roswell’s City of Toronto Directory and County of York for 1850-1851 (Armstrong, 1850) lists several occupants for Lot 27, Concession V, including Benjamin Milligan, John Percy and John Sleigh. No information regarding the presence of structures is provided in the directory. The 1851 Census lists John Percy, a 43-year old farmer, born in England as living his wife Elizabeth (née Young), also 43 (Plates 1 and 2), and their children Archibald (19), William (17), Mary Anne (9), James (8), Sylvenus (6), Uriah (5), John (3) and Frederick (3). The family is listed as belonging to the Wesleyan Methodist Church (Item No. 1126581, Page 215). J. Percy is assessed for the north quarter of Lot 7, Concession V in 1853, at this time he was identified as both a Householder and a Freeholder (Scheinman, 2004). Original concession roads are illustrated on the 1860 Tremaine Map of Ontario County (Figure 6, Appendix A), including present-day Highway 7 and Whites Road, as are the settlements of Brunswick Hill and Brougham located north and east of the subject property, respectively. The lands surrounding the subject property constituted a rural landscape. The Tremaine map indicates that Lot 27 is divided into two 50 acre and one 100 acre lots, with 815 Highway 7 located within the lot owned by J. Pursey [sic]. One structure is il- lustrated within the subject property on the 1861 Tremaine Map. The 1861 census lists John (51), Elizabeth (51) and their children, Archibald (27), William (25), Mary Anne (19), Uriah (17), John (13), Venice (17), Frederick (11), and Leslie (7), as living in a one-and-a-half storey brick house. The census indicates that two families were living in the house in 1861, however no information regarding the second family was provided (Item no. 2747140, Page 133). The 1871 Census lists John, 60, his wife Elizabeth, 61 and their children Uriah and Frederick, aged 21 and 25 respectively (Instrument 649389, Page 50). In 1871, the north half of Lot 27, Concession V is willed to Major William (Book 211, Page 134, Instrument illegible). To additional transactions between Barker Archibald et. ux and Uriah Percy et. ux and John Scott 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page 24 occur between 1871 and 1892, however the transaction type, exact date and compensation are illegible (Book 211, Page 134). John Percy died on October 10, 1872, he is interred with his wife, who died in 1884, at the Green River Baptist Cemetery, located at 600 Highway 7 (Photograph 100). Plate 1: Portrait of John Percy, date unknown (findagrave.com) Plate 2: Portrait of Elizabeth Percy, date unknown (findagrave.com) Similar to the 1860 Tremaine Map, one structure is illustrated on the 1877 Pickering Township Map (Figure 9, Appendix A). A. Percy is shown as owning a 50 acres within Lot 27, Concession V. A brick structure is shown on the 1914 NTS map, in the approximate location of the subject property (Figure 6, Appendix A). The brick structure is also present on the 1933 (Figure 10, Appendix A) and 1943 NTS maps (Figure 11, Appendix A). These maps show no change in the lands surrounding the subject property, as they continued to be rural in nature. The Percy Family retained ownership of Lot 27, Concession V until the late nineteenth century, when ownership was transferred to C. Berevell (Scheinman, 2004). All of Lot 27, Concession V was expropriated by the Crown and granted to the Ministry of Housing, Province of Ontario, on February 4, 1974 (Book 211, Page 134a, Instrument 252578). The lot is granted from the Ontario Land Corporation to Her Majesty The Queen in right of the Province of Ontario represented by the 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page 25 Minister of Transportation and communications for the Province of Ontario (Book 211, Page 134a, Instrument D136577). Aerial photographs from 1954 to 2006 were reviewed to assist in documenting changes to the rural landscape. A 1954 aerial photograph (Figure 12, Appendix A) of the subject property was reviewed, and while the quality of the photograph is poor, the house and the bank barns are visible. Development within the study area between 1954 and 2006 was relatively slow. The 2002 aerial photograph (Figure 13, Appendix A) clearly shows the house and two barns subject property; Highway 407 is also present, south of the subject property. Construction began on the Whites Road extension and the Highway 407 on-and off-ramps in 2018, and is in use as of 2022. The majority of the lands adjacent to 815 Highway 7 remain under active cultivation. 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page 26 5 STATEMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE VALUE OR INTEREST 5.1 CONTEXT: 815 HIGHWAY 7 The following Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest (SCHVI) (Section 5.1.1) and list of heritage attributes (Section 5.1.2) has been reproduced from the 2020 CHIA (WSP, 2022). 5.1.1 STATEMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE VALUE OR INTEREST The mid-nineteenth century farmstead at 815 Highway 7 possesses design or physical value for the unique, representative and rare built heritage resources displaying a high degree of craftsmanship located on the property. The one-and-a-half storey brick residence constructed c. 1853 demonstrates representative elements of an Ontario Cottage with Neo-Classical and Georgian influences including the rectangular plan and symmetrical three-bay façade, side gable roof, entrance details including a wood surround with transom and sidelights, and multipaned windows. The residence reflects a unique vernacular interpretation of the style, characterized by its elaborate dichromatic brickwork, including the decorative stringcourse, quoins and jack arches. The large bank barns are representative expressions of a Central Ontario barn, a common design in Southern Ontario dating to the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The gambrel roof style is indicative of its period of construction, becoming commonly used by 1880 following a transition from gable roofs. The barns maintains their integrity through the retention of much of the original construction materials and application of historic building methods. The barns include many of the features typical of the style, including the banked access and two storey height, original rectangular plan, wood barn board cladding, and the gambrel roof clad in sheet metal. The intact concrete block silo and remains of the wood silo also contribute to the design and physical value of the property. Through its function as a farm for at least 169 years, 815 Highway 7 it is directly associated with the agricultural development of the former Ontario Township and City of Pickering. This theme is significant as it historically contributed to the community’s early economic growth and continues to be practiced today. As the property retains 46 acres of the original 50-acre lot and continues to be actively used for agriculture, 815 Highway 7 is important in maintaining the historical agricultural character of the surrounding area. The property is functionally and historically linked to its surroundings as indicated by the presence and placement of the Percy House, Central Ontario bank barns, the associated circulation patterns including the surrounding agricultural fields that continue to reflect the function of the historic nineteenth century farmstead. 5.1.2 HERITAGE ATTRIBUTES The heritage attributes that contribute to the cultural heritage value or interest of 815 Highway 7 include: Residence Exterior • One-and-a-half storey massing built to a rectangular plan; • Red brick construction using the Flemish bond, dichromatic brickwork including quoins and decorative brickwork under the moulded cornice; 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page 27 • Granite and fieldstone foundation; • Symmetrical three-bay façade and symmetrical two-bay side elevations; • Side gable roof with return eaves (on west façade only) and extant moulded cornice; • Paired interior end chimneys; • Centrally placed entrance with side lights, transom and wood surround with classical detailing; • Rectangular window openings with six-over-six double-hung sash windows, radiating brick voussoirs and wood sills; • Brick, one-storey, gable roof addition built to a rectangular plan projecting from the south elevation; built using the Common bond; • Verandah with a flared roof and exposed curved rafters; and • Its orientation toward Highway 7.

The subject property at 815 Highway 7 is currently under active cultivation, on an approximately 18.7-hectare irregular shaped lot that includes a one-and-a-half storey brick Ontario Cottage with Neo-Classical influences constructed c. 1853, two bank barns and two silos (Figure 3). The Percy House is currently vacant. The property is located on the south side of Highway 7, west of Whites Road, it is bounded on the east and west by lands associated with the Seaton Natural Heritage System in the City of Pickering. The residential building is oriented toward Highway 7 and barns are located south of the residence. The house is setback from Highway 7 approximately 30 metres. For the purposes of this report, and unless otherwise stated, the measurements for window and door openings will be provided in a width by height format. 6.1.1 PERCY HOUSE, REAR ADDITION 6.1.1.1 EXTERIOR The rear addition of the Percy House consists of a one-storey brick structure with a gable roof which spans a portion of the south elevation; it is constructed of three masonry perimeter walls which are attached to the south elevation of the main section of the house (Photograph 1). The addition is laid in the Common bond pattern and is sited on a fieldstone foundation (Photograph 2); the addition measures 5.48 m by 7.92 m (18’ by 24’). The average brick size height is 6 cm, the headers are 10 cm and the stretchers are 21.5 cm (2.36’ by 3.93” by 8.46”). The east elevation of the rear addition is symmetrical with three bays, it is constructed using brick laid in the Common bond and is located on a fieldstone foundation (Photograph 3). The rectangular windows retain their six-over-six double-hung sash windows and have a wood sill; they are topped with a jack arch. The window openings (W-1 and W-2) measure 1.03 m by 1.53 m (40.5” by 60”) (Photograph 4). The door on the east elevation (D-1) appears to be original to the house; it features simple fielded panels and a metal box lock (the door knob has been removed), the door opening measures 94 cm by 2.10 m (37” by 82”) (Photograph 5). The porch also appears to be original to the structure and features a roof with exposed curved rafters with a beaded edge (Photograph 6 and Photograph 7). The porch extends east 1.78 m from the house and has a total span of 2.36 m (5’10” by 7’8”) and is centrally located between the windows on the east elevation. One door, D-2, is present on the south elevation of the addition (Photograph 8). D-2 is 97 cm by 2.01 m (38” by 79”). The opening of D-2 has partially collapsed and the original height of the door is unknown. No 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page 30 windows were observed on the south elevation of the one-and-a-half storey structure. A large concrete block with brick fill is positioned against the door opening, this is supporting the rear brick wall which is structurally unsound (Photograph 9 and Photograph 10). The west façade of the rear addition is also symmetrical (Photograph 11), with two window openings and one door opening (W-3, W-4, and D-3). The window openings measure 1.07 by 1.51 m (42” by 59”) and 1.04 m by 1.51 m (40” by 59”). The windows on the west façade have been removed and are covered with wood sheeting (Photograph 12). The wood door (D-3) on the west façade appears to be original (Photograph 13). The door measures 97 cm by 2.09 m (38” by 82”) and features fielded panels, a porcelain doorknob and a metal escutcheon. With the exception of D-2 and D-3, wood sills are present on all openings on the addition of the Percy House. The window sills are 1.19 m long and range in height from 9.5 cm to 11.25 cm (46” by 3.7” to 4.4”). The sill on D-1 is 1.11 m long and 8.5 cm high (43.7” by 3.3”). 6.1.1.2 INTERIOR The one-story addition is composed of two rooms, for the purposes of this report, they have been identified as Room 1 and Room 2. The exterior walls and ceilings are constructed of lath and plaster, while the dividing wall between Room 1 and Room 2 is constructed of dimensional lumber. ROOM 1 Room 1 is the largest of the two rooms, it immediately abuts the one-and-a-half storey portion of the Percy house. Room 1 measures 5.09 m by 5.09 m (16’70” by 16’70”), the ceiling is 2.41 m (7’91”) high. The original floor of Room 1 is present and consists of medium-width pine boards. A beaded wainscotting is present on the north, east, and west walls of the room, the wainscotting is 81.28 cm (32”) high. The ceiling in Room 1 is covered in wood beadboard, which has been painted (Photograph 14). Room 1 is connected to the one-and-a-half storey portion of the Percy House by two doors on the north wall (D-5 and D-6) and to Room 2 by D-4 on the south wall. Both D-5 and D-6 are 83.82 cm (33”) wide and 2.06 m (79”) high and have a simple beaded trim which measures 11.43 cm (4.5”) wide (Photograph 15). Two openings are present on the east wall of Room 1; W-1 and D-1, each opening is surrounded by a simple beaded trim which measures 11.43 cm (4.5”) wide (Photograph 16, Photograph 17 and Photograph 18). One door is present on the south wall within Room 1. D-4 measures 80.01 cm wide by 2 m high (31.5” by 79”), it is surrounded by plain trim which measures 8.89 cm (3.5”) (Photograph 19), and provides access to Room 2. The west wall of Room 1 features two openings, D-3 and W-4. Similar to the other windows in Room 1, the trim on W-4 a simple beaded surround which measures 11.43 cm (4.5”) wide. D-3 is covered with plywood, as such, no description for the trim was available (Photograph 20 and Photograph 21). ROOM 2 Room 2 measures 5.09 m by 2.33 m (16’70 by 7’6”); exterior access to the room is via D-2 on the south façade and from Room 1 by D-4. Similar to Room 1, the floor and ceiling of Room 2 are covered by medium- width pine boards and beadboard. Due to the partial collapse of the south wall however, these materials are 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page 31 damaged and are not suitable for salvage. Wainscotting is present on the east and west walls and a portion of the south wall, it measures 76.2 cm (30”) high. One door (D-4) is located on the north wall of Room 2, the door is surrounded by a plain, flat trim which measures 8.89 cm (3.5”) wide. The framing system of the north wall of Room 2 is exposed and consists of dimensional lumber (Photograph 22). The east and west wall of Room 2 measure 5.09 m (92”). Two windows, W-2 and W-3 are located on the east and west walls of the room, respectively (Photograph 23 and Photograph 24). The trim on W-2 and W-3 is 8.89 cm (3.5”) wide and consists of a simple surround with a bead. The south wall of Room 2 features a fireplace, the mantel of which has been removed (Photograph 25). One door, D-2, is also located on the south wall of Room 2, as previously noted, the door is partially collapsed due to lack of structural integrity (Photograph 26). 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page 33 6.1.2 BANK BARN 1 6.1.2.1 EXTERIOR Bank Barn 1 measures 12.36 m east to west by 18.46 m north to south (40’6” by 60’6”). The barn retains its original rectangular plan and was built into the natural topography of the lot, which slopes to the south. As such, entrances to the barn are provided on both the north (banked) and south eave-sides, with access to the upper level for crop and implement storage and working space provided on the north elevation, and access to the lower stable area provided via the south and west elevations. The barn is clad in vertical wood boards and features a gambrel roof clad in sheet metal, remnants of red paint are visible on the exterior. Vents (V-1 and V-2) are located at both the east and west ends of the roof line as are three evenly spaced lightening rods (L-1, L-2, and L-3) (Photograph 27). The north elevation has a total length of 18.46 m (60’58”) contains large sliding wood doors roughly in the centre of the elevation (D-1). D-1 on the north elevation of the barn is comprised of two sliding doors of equal size, each door is 3.60 m wide by 3.60 m (142”) high, in total the doors are 7.2 m (248”) wide (Photograph 28). The foundation on the north façade is capped with cast-in-place concrete. Much of the exterior cladding from the main level of the east elevation has been lost, and with the exception of two windows in the lower level (W -1 and W-2), there are no intentional openings (Photograph 29 and Photograph 30). W-1 and W-2 measure 1.49 m by 78 cm and 1.47 m by 83 cm (59” by 31” and 58” by 33”), respectively. The granite foundation appears intact on the east elevation, the foundation ranges in height from approximately 38 cm to 90 cm (15” to 35”). The south elevation of Barn 1 is partially clad in vertical wood board and board and batten, it appears there was at least one opening on the upper level of the barn, which is now covered, given the height of this opening, no measurements were available (Photograph 31). The lower level of the barn contains three door openings (D-2, D-3, and D-4) and four window openings (W-3, W-4, W-5, and W-6) (Photograph 32 and Photograph 33). D-2 measures 1.29 m by 2.03 m (51” by 80”), D-3 measures 1.16 m by 2.03 m (46” by 80”) and D-4 measures 1.19 m by 2.03 m (47” by 80”). W-3 measures 73.66 cm by 63.5 cm (29” by 25”), W-4 measures 60.96 cm by 88.9 cm (24” by 35”), W-5 measures 1.47 m by 81 cm (58” x 32”), and W-6 measures 83.82 cm by 68.58 cm (33” by 27”). The western portion of the south foundation has been capped in concrete and a portion of the interior wall has been rebuilt using the concrete same material. The centre portion of the foundation also appears to have undergone repair; the exterior foundation is constructed using fieldstones of varying sizes. The eastern corner of the southern façade is likely the original building material; it consists of finely cut and laid granite blocks. The west elevation of Barn 1 contains two windows (W-7 and W-8) and one door (D-5) in the lower level, there are no other openings on the west façade, including in the upper levels. W-7 and W-8 are roughly the same size and measure 93.98 cm by 63.5 cm (37” by 25”) and 96.52 cm by 60.96 cm (38” by 24”), respectively. A portion of the foundation, south of the door opening has collapsed (Photograph 34 and Photograph 35). 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page 34 6.1.2.2 INTERIOR The barn interior is divided into two levels; the lower stable level and the threshing floor.2 The lower level is comprised of animal stalls divided by a series of aisles providing access between the stalls and to doors on the south and west elevations. Portions of the floor in the stable level are covered in buff and red brick pavers. Large hand-hewn timbers and uncut logs support the upper storey (Photographs 35 to 39). The threshing floor of Barn 1 is accessed via an earthen ramp on the north façade. The threshing floor is open except for a granary at the western end of the barn, which is divided into several rooms for storage (Photographs 40 to 48). The construction method is exposed inside the barn and demonstrates typical large timbers with evidence of hand-hewing, and mortise and tenon and tree nail construction. 6.1.3 SILO 1 The remains of a wooden silo are located immediately west of Barn 1 (Photograph 50). Silo 1 is an increasingly rare example of its type, constructed of vertical boards, bound with lapped planks. The planks are 1.65 m long, 9.5 cm deep and are approximately 4.5 cm high (65” by 3.7” by 1.77”). The silo is octagonal in shape and has an approximate diameter of 3 m (10’). The top of the structure is partially collapsed, it is estimated the remaining portion of the silo is 7.6 m (25’) high. A ladder is located on the east side of the silo. Much of the vertical boards that covered the silo are no longer extant (Photographs 50 to 55). 2 Photographs of the threshing floors of Barn 1 and Barn 1 were taken from window, door and wall openings. Portions of the lower levels of Barns 1 and 2 were accessed only where it was deemed safe to do so. 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page 36 6.1.4 BANK BARN 2 6.1.4.1 EXTERIOR Barn 2 is oriented on a north to south axis and measures 19 m east to west and 11.23 m north to south (62’5” by 36’10”). A reinforced concrete silo located north of the barn is not included in this documentation report at it was deed by WSP to have no CHVI (WSP, 2022) (Photograph 56). The barn retains its original rectangular plan and was built into the natural topography of the lot, which slopes to the south and west. As such, entrances to the barn are provided on both the east (banked) and north eave-sides, with access to the upper level for crop and implement storage and working space provided on the east elevation, and access to the lower stable area provided via the north and west elevations. The barn is clad in vertical wood boards and features a gambrel roof clad in sheet metal. One vent (V-1) is located at the south end of the roof line as well as three stacks located on the east and west gambrel roof lines (Photograph 57). The northern façade of the barn is partially covered by the adjacent silo. There are three openings within the lower level of the north elevation: one door and two windows (D-2, W-1 and W-2). D- 2 measures 1.09 m by 1.87 m (43” by 74”), W-1 and W-2 measure 78 cm by 83 cm and 88 cm by 1.42 m (31” by 33” and 35” by 56”) (Photograph 58). There is also one window on the threshing floor, a measurement was not obtained for this window The foundation on the north façade consists of large granite blocks of a uniform size. The east elevation contains large sliding wood doors (D-1) roughly in the centre of the elevation (Photograph 81). D-1 is 3.5 m wide and 3.35 m (11’5” by 11’). The foundation on the east façade consists of large granite blocks and fieldstone of varying sizes (Photograph 60). The south elevation of Barn 2 is almost entirely covered by thick vegetation, making it challenging to discern the configuration. It does not appear however, that there are any window or door openings on the south elevation (Photograph 61 and Photograph 62). The northwest, southwest and southeast corners of Barn 2 are supported by large concrete blocks. Much of the exterior cladding from the west elevation of Barn 2 has been lost, however, it appears there is at least one door in the upper level, due to its location within the elevation, a measurement was not obtained (Photograph 63). The lower level of the west façade of Barn 2 is highly altered, and much of the stone foundation has been removed. At least three door openings and one window are visible on the lower level, including, D-3, D-4, D-5 and W-3 (Photograph 64). The openings on the lower level of the west elevation have the following measurements: D-3: 4.44 m by 1.95 (175” by 77”); D-4: 2.41 by 1.98 (95” by 78”); D-5: 1.01 by 2 m (40” by 79”); and W-3: 1.32 by 73 cm (52” by 29”) 6.1.4.2 INTERIOR The barn interior is divided into two levels; the lower stable level and the threshing floor. The lower level of the barn is accessed by three doors on the west elevation as well as one door on the north elevation. The lower level is comprised of animal stalls divided by a series of aisles providing access between the stalls and to doors on the west and north elevations. Portions of the floor in the stable level are covered in buff and red brick pavers. Large hand-hewn timbers and uncut logs support the upper storey (Photographs 65 to 71). The threshing floor of Barn 2 is accessed via an earthen ramp on the west façade. The threshing floor is open except for a granary at the northern end of the barn, which is divided into several rooms for storage (Photographs 72 to 75). 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource

proposing to develop a 23.8-hectare parcel of land that consists of two properties on Highway 7, including: 815 and 745 Highway 7 (the project location). The proposed development consists of the phased construction of five industrial buildings as part of the development of the FGF Pickering Manufacturing Campus. CapLink Limited plans to demolish the addition connected to the Percy House due to structural and architectural deficiencies and relocate the Percy House to a new location. The two barns (Barn 1 and Barn 2) and two silos (Silo 1 and Silo 2) will be demolished and materials from Barns 1 and 2 and Silo 1 will be salvaged. Detailed documentation and salvage is often the preferred mitigation strategy when retention or relocation of a structure is neither feasible nor warranted. Documentation creates a public record for the structure and provides researchers and the public with a land use history, construction details and photographic record of the resource. The purpose of salvaging heritage building material is to preserve portions of features of buildings or structures that have historical, architectural or cultural value and divert them from becoming land fill material. Sourcing materials for repair and replacement can be challenging, especially if the materials are from a historical source that no longer exists, such as a quarry, or a manufacturing facility that has closed (Parks Canada, 2010). As such, the careful salvage of these materials from one historic structure can represent an opportunity for the in-kind replacement of quality historical material on another. Some of these materials can also be incorporated into the new design if appropriate. If any materials are incorporated into the design, there should be an interpretive plaque to convey that these materials were reused from the previous building on-site. 7.1.1 SUGGESTED MATERIALS FOR SALVAGE Table 7-1, below, outlines the materials suggested for salvage and re-use. These recommendations are based on the results of the Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report prepared by WSP for the subject property at 815 Highway 7, and the condition of material at the time of the site visit. 815 Highway 7: Cultural Heritage Resource Documentation Report Project No: 221-03925-01 CapLink Limited WSP August 2022 Page 71 Table 7-1: Salvageable Materials: 815 Highway 7, Pickering Ontario General Location Room Element Element ID Additional Location Information Material Description Measurement (Imperial) Measurement (metric) Photograph Percy House: Rear Addition Exterior (entire structure) n/a Foundation n/a South, east and west elevations Stone Fieldstones that comprise foundation n/a n/a Photograph 2 n/a Exterior walls n/a South, east and west elevations Brick Red bricks that comprise the exterior walls 6 cm x 10 cm x 21.5 cm 2.36’ x 3.93” x 8.46” Photograph 2 East Elevation n/a Porch rafters n/a East elevation Wood Curved wooden rafters with bead n/a n/a Photograph 7 Interior Room 1 Window W-1 East wall Wood;
