Russ Gregory, representing the applicants, and Mr. & Mrs. Marciano were in attendance. Mr. Gregory explained the revisions and advised that they will continue to work with staff on details.
In response to
questions from the Committee, Mr. Gregory advised that the back part of the
building will be removed, that the 1½ storey addition is larger than the
original house, and that the material will be board and batten siding. The
Committee suggested the roof of the original portion should be higher than the
addition so that it stands out, and that the board and batten is not an appropriate
siding for a house of this age.

The Senior Heritage Planner presented this
item, explaining that the Town has received renderings of two potential designs
for a new bridge on
The Committee considered that the renderings were not to scale, one bridge design seeming higher off the ground than the other, and were misleading. No consensus was reached on a preference of design, as better drawings and information on materials to be used would be necessary to make an evaluation.
A Bridge Workshop will be held at the
Premier Convention Centre, 9019 Leslie Street, (at
Highway 7) Richmond Hill, on September 22, from 10 am to 12 noon. Staff will be
attending, and Heritage Markham members were encouraged to attend.
HERITAGE
THAT Heritage Markham has the following

Team Manager
The Heritage Planner introduced this item, explaining that the Heritage building had been part of the Costco property, but is now on a separate parcel and owned by a new owner. The owner wishes to renovate for office uses, but needs more floor space and is proposing a second storey addition.
Scott Rushlow, Architect, representing the applicant, explained that the building is on a small lot and there is not much opportunity to expand outward.
The Committee considered that the two different pitches of the roof sections are not appropriate, and pointed out that the committee had tried to ensure sufficient land had been conveyed with the house when the property was separated. The committee indicated it had no objection to the addition, in principle, if further work was done on the design.
HERITAGE
THAT the proposed revision to the Site Plan Agreement for the Raymer-Robb house be referred to the Architectural Review Sub-Committee for further review and comment to achieve an addition that is subordinate to the original form and massing of the heritage house and a connection that clearly distinguishes the heritage house from the addition.
