ERA Architects provided an overview of the
project speaking to:
• the ownership of the property;
• background and history of Kindred Works;
• the proposed residential units;
• the provision for affordable residential units
on the site;
• visual renderings of the project;
• Kindred Works’ sustainability targets;
• the history of the Dunbarton-Fairport United
Church;
• the historical context of the subject lands
and surrounding Dunbarton area; and,
• the proposal to demolish the newer
additions of the church and retain the
original structure.
Discussion ensued amongst Committee Members
regarding:
• whether the church building will remain
useful to the community and congregation if
the newer additions were demolished;
• concerns regarding whether the amount of
parking proposed is sufficient;
• the daycare currently operating on the site
and the anticipated impacts of this
development on its operation; and,
• the basement of the church building.
