It expects to make its first recommendation for designation in the fall of 1976 and to make other recommendations from time to time in the future. The criteria to be followed in evaluatâ€" ing a building include: 1. Antiquity alone is not sufficient basis for selection but it may be a factor; 2. Does a building demonstrate an architectural type valâ€" uable for the study of a style or method of architect? ” 3. Is the building the work of an important builder or architect? 4. The building may be associated with the life of an hisâ€" torical person or an historical .event and this will be conâ€" sidered ; 5. A building may have some community importance lendâ€" ing it special historical value ; 6. Intangible elements of feelings, associations and aesthetâ€" ics are important ; 7. Architectural character and detail is also important. Any interested person can file a statement that he obâ€" jects to the designation within 30 days of the date of the first publication of the notice in the newspaper. At the end of that 30 day period, if there has been no objection, counâ€" cil may decide to designate or not to designate the property. In the latter event, Notice of Withdrawal is similarly served on the owner and published. The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a very general guide to the procedure which must be followed, the significance of designation and the opportunities which are provided under the Act for individuals in the communâ€" ity to contribute to this important undertaking. If an owner serves Notice of Objection he must state the reasons for his objection and the matter is then referred to a Conservation Review Board for a hearing and report. This Board has been appointed by the Ontario government and it is required to hold a public hearing on the question of designation where an objection has been filed. That hearâ€" ing must be held within the City of Waterloo and notice of that hearing is to be published in a newspaper. The Waterloo advisory committee consists of chairman Don Snider, Alderman Charles Voelker, Marg Rowell, John Mounstephen, Mary Johnston, Eric Carter and Richard Hobson. The committee is anxious to perform its duties with the best longâ€"term interests of the community in mind while respecting the legitimate concerns of land owners. Council receives the report of the Conservation Board within 30 days of its hearing and shall then decide without further hearing whether to pass the byâ€"law or to withdraw its proposal. Council‘s decision is final. A copy of the legislation may be found in the Waterloo Library and also at the City Hall. In addition, there is a handbook which can be obtained from the City Hall. Inâ€" terested persons might consult with any member of the committee for more specific information or suggestions. The City Council will decide whether to propose a bylaw that a building be designated. The recommendation of the local Advisory Committee will be considered by it. Council must then publish a notice of its intention in a local newspaper and must serve the owner with Notice of Inâ€" tention. That Notice must accurately describe the property and state the reasons for the proposed designation. This article is a description of the role of the city‘s local architectural conservancy advisory committese. The committee was appointed earlier this year by city councit to consider buildings that «should be designated historically significant The article is written by Richard Hobson, a member of the committee. § The Ontario Heritage Act was passed by the Ontario Legislature in 1974. Its purpose is to provide for the conâ€" servation, protection and preservation of the heritage of Ontario.. It provides for the designation of buildings of architectural and historical importance. When a building has been designated, the Act provides certain controls to insure its preservation. The Act permits a local municipality to pass a byâ€"law to form a local architectural conservancy advisory commitâ€" tee. The city of Waterloo established such a committee in the spring of 1976 and it has been meeting regularly since that time. Historical conservancy committee explains its role Come In For Your Special Deal On Quality Canadian General Electric Appliances The council is empowered to purchase, lease or exproâ€" priate or otherwise acquire a designated property. There is also a provision for a municipality to acquire an easement on real property to protect it. Council may also offer a loan or grant to an owner of a designated property. The Act also provides for the establishment of an Ontario Heritage Foundation which receives notice of proceedings being taken by local councils under the Act. There are provisions for inspection of properties and for the maintenance of a record of all designated properties in a Register maintained at City Hall. The Act provides substantial penalties for failing to comply with the Act. It is intended that that period of time be used to atâ€" tempt to resolve the dispute with the land owner. During that period, council may suggest alternatives which may include purchasing the property or even expropriation. Failing a resolution of the dispute, the owner may proceed with his plans following the 180 day waiting period. Thereâ€" after council must pass a byâ€"law repealing the designation if demolition is actually completed. . If council passes the byâ€"law it is then registered in the Registry Office against the property and is served on the owner and published. Having been designated, the propâ€" erty is not to be altered in any way that is likely to alter the reasons for designation without obtaining the written consent of the municipal council. C A building that has been designated must not be deâ€" molished or removed without the consent in writing of the municipal council. The Act contains a procedure to permit council to approve alterations, demolitions or reâ€" moval. If such an application is made, council must consult with the local Committee and within 90 days thereâ€" after must either consent or refuse the application for a period of 180 days. The Dr. P.A. Voelker home at 36 Young St. West Waterloo is one of two historic homes that are proâ€" posed for designation in November by the city‘s architectural conservancy advisory committee. The other residence is the Dorothy Snyder home on Hallman Rd.
