  • Chloe advised that staff and the heritage consultants (Stantec) will present the second batch of property evaluations to Heritage Burlington on December 17, 2024.

3044 Lakeshore Road

 
  • Chloe advised that she received correspondence from the public expressing concerns about the sale of 3044 Lakeshore Road and the potential unknowns of what could happen to this property. Chloe noted that to fast track the designation of this property, a draft statement of cultural heritage value or interest will have to be completed. She will work with committee members to gather information for this document. 
  • Members expressed concern with the potential of losing a very valuable heritage property and were in full support of proceeding with the next steps to designate this property. Motion - Heritage Burlington Advisory Committee recommends that Heritage Planning staff prioritize the Ontario Regulation 9/06 heritage evaluation of 3044 Lakeshore Road for potential Part IV designation under the Ontario Heritage Act and if applicable, report back at the December Heritage Burlington meeting with a draft Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest and Description of Heritage Attributes. CARRIED
