This report recommends that City Council include the property at 206 Russell Hill Road on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register and state its intention to designate the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The property at 206 Russell Hill Road contains a 2½-storey house form building dating to 1910 that is known historically as the William S. Hodgens House. In 2018, the property owner submitted an application for a zoning by-law amendment and site plan approval to replace the existing house with a low-rise four-unit townhouse development. An application to demolish the existing house in order to facilitate the development of this property was submitted in April 2019 (2019 141774 DEM 00 DM). The demolition permit has not been issued due to the absence of a permit for a replacement building as per the City's Residential Demolition Control By-law. On May 15, 2019 an application to build a new single family dwelling was submitted. In order to prevent the demolition of the William S. Hodgens House, City Council must state its intention to designate this property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Following research and evaluation under Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, it has been determined that the property at 206 Russell Hill Road merits designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its design, associative and contextual value. The inclusion of the property at 206 Russell Hill Road on the City's Heritage Register and its designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act would identify all of the property's cultural heritage values and heritage attributes. Properties on the Heritage Register will be maintained and conserved in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. Designation enables City Council to review applications to the site, enforce heritage property stands and maintenance, and refuse demolition.
This Item has been withdrawn from the Toronto and East York Community Council agenda.

Cultural Heritage Evaluation - 79 and 81 Granby Street
This report recommends that the Toronto and East York Community Council receive this report for information. The report responds to City Council's request on December 4, 2018 (Motion MM1.7) that directed the Senior Manager of Heritage Preservation Services to "initiate a study of the formally nominated properties, at 79 and 81 Granby Street and to report back regarding designation within the first quarter of 2019." The properties at 79 and 81 Granby Street contain a pair of semi-detached house form buildings dating to 1891. As outlined in Attachment 3 to this report, staff have undertaken an evaluation according to Ontario Regulation 9/06 (the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation that the City also applies to properties being assessed for its Heritage Register). Although the properties demonstrate contextual value, specifically their historical and physical setting between the listed heritage properties at 77 Granby Street and 414-418 Church Street (at the southwest corner of Granby), the significant alterations to the exterior of subject buildings, including the removal of the original shared entrance arch (documented in archival photographs) and the recladding and changes to the window openings and roofline of 79 Granby, have impacted their integrity and ability to communicate their cultural heritage value. As such, staff have determined that the individual properties do not merit inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The provision of Chapter 27, Council Procedures, requires that Motion MM1.7 be referred to the Toronto and East York Community Council.
The Toronto and East York Community Council deferred consideration of the item until its October 10, 2019 meeting.

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 28 Bracken Avenue under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and include the property on the City's Heritage Register. Located in Balmy Beach, south of the Kingston Road, between Kingswood Road and Bingham Avenue, the property contains a two-and-a-half storey, Arts and Crafts Movement, Shingle-Style house constructed in 1915-1916 and first owned by Clara and Arthur G. Hill. Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its design, associative and contextual value. In October, 2018 an application for a minor variance was submitted for consideration by the Committee of Adjustment to demolish the house and garage and replace them with a new house and garage. In January, 2019 Heritage staff submitted a report to the Committee of Adjustment (CofA) requesting deferral of the application to give staff time to evaluate the property. The matter will be considered at the CofA hearing on June 25, 2019. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. Designation enables City Council to review alterations to the site, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.

Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register - 2078 and 2086 Danforth Avenue
This report recommends that City Council include the properties at 2078 and 2086 Danforth Avenue on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. Located on the northeast corner of Danforth and Woodbine avenues, the properties contain two adjoining commercial buildings dating to 1925 and 1927 that were commissioned by William A. Summerville, a local politician, realtor, and theatre operator as the commercial components of a complex that included the Prince of Wales Theatre, which was located to the north and east. The subject properties contribute to the historical development and contextual character of Danforth Avenue as it emerged in the 1920s as one of Toronto's pre-eminent "Main Streets," with Woodbine Avenue among the important cross-streets where commercial structures, including the William A. Summerville Buildings were designed to anchor and highlight this important intersection. The properties were identified for their cultural heritage value in TE34.11, the "Danforth Avenue Planning Study - Coxwell Avenue to Victoria Park Avenue - City-initiated Official Plan Amendment - Final Report," which was adopted with amendments by City Council at its meeting of July 23, 2018. The report included Attachment 10: Map of Potential Heritage Properties where, in Block 5 on the north side between Woodbine and Cedarvale avenues, the properties at 2078 and 2086 Danforth Avenue are identified. The properties at 2078 and 2086 Danforth Avenue are the subject of a development application that would result in the demolition of the two 2-storey commercial buildings. The inclusion of the properties at 2078 and 2086 Danforth Avenue on the City's Heritage Register would identify all of the property's cultural heritage values and heritage attributes. Properties on the Heritage Register will be maintained and conserved in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies.
The Toronto and East York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council include the properties at 2078 and 2086 Danforth Avenue on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in accordance with the Statement of Significance (Reasons for Inclusion), attached as Attachment 3 to the report (June 4, 2019) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design, City Planning.
