Meeting Summary: 1) Sign Locations J. Wilford inquired about the Committee reconsidering the sign location at Murray Road given the limited traffic to this area. He suggested the Committee consider a sign location along Penetanguishene Road between Hamelin Lane and Monsignor Castex school. J. Todd suggested the Hospital property might be a good location. J. Lewis explained that if a sign is located on private property, then permission must be sought from that property owner first. J. Lewis suggested that at the next meeting Emily Galloway could bring the computer and show the Committee using the GIS maps various locations along Penetanguishene Road. Once the Committee has selected a new location, then Emily Galloway can discuss the proposed location with the Director of Operations to determine if that sign location is acceptable to the Operations Department. J. Rogers and N. Jackson also indicated that they would like to place the signs in Penetanguishene in one location down at the Town Dock, but they would like to install 2 3 signs in this location.

Important Points About Heritage Designation Designation is not arbitrary or frivolous. Designation criteria are specific: the principle requirements are that the structure or district possess historic and/or architectural value or interest. Designation provides for a consistent approach to heritage conservation. It helps ensure that alterations in the case of individual property, or development in districts, are consistent with the overall intent of the designation by-law or district plan. Designation can prevent unsympathetic changes to heritage properties, and delay demolition. Designation does not legally restrict the use of a property. Although designation is registered on the title of a property, it does not restrict the sale of property, or normally affect its resale value. Designation continues to be in effect when a property changes hands. If an owner disagrees with a council decision regarding designation, alteration to a designated property, or repeal of the designation by-law, the owner may appeal the decision to the Conservation Review Board, which must hold a hearing on the matter. The final decision, however, resides with Penetanguishene Council. Designation does not require property owners to open their property to the public. Designated heritage properties and areas make good economic sense. Designation of individual property or areas may serve as a focus for community renewal efforts. Economic development literature repeatedly stresses the importance of local quality of life, to which recognized heritage properties contribute. Designated properties can be recycled to lead useful and economically viable lives. Interesting Heritage Fact: It has been estimated that the rehabilitation of older buildings consumes 23% less energy than new construction; therefore, the drain on renewable and non-renewable resources is significantly lower than for new construction. The conservation of designated property reduces the strain on dump and landfill sites where up to 60% of available space is currently filled with demolition and construction waste. Conservation of designated property is more economically and environmentally sustainable than new construction. Information obtained in part from the Ontario Ministry of Tourism & Culture Verbal Update from A. Proulx Re: Heritage Property Owner Inf... Page 42 of 51

What are the Obligations of Designation? Designation requires a property owner to seek the approval of Municipal Council, through Heritage Penetanguishene, for any property alteration which affects the "reasons for designation". Although the Ontario Heritage Act provides the owner with a mechanism to appeal Council's decision to the Conservation Review Board, Council has the final decision and Council could deny the property owner the permission to alter. Designation requires the property owner to seek the permission of Municipal Council, through Heritage Penetanguishene, to demolish a designated structure. In the event of change of ownership, the new owner of a designated property must give notice of the change of ownership to the Town Clerk within 30 days after becoming owner of the property. Owners of designated properties shall maintain the heritage property and its heritage features. Verbal Update from A. Proulx Re: Heritage Property Owner Inf... Page 43 of 51

Insurance and Heritage Properties Will heritage designation make my property insurance premiums go up? Your premiums should not go up as a result of a heritage designation. A variety of other reasons cause insurance companies to increase premiums for older buildings if there is a higher level of risk, such as services (outdated wiring, old heating systems, etc.). In fact, some companies do not insure buildings over a certain age. Designation itself, however, does not place additional requirements on the insurer and therefore should not affect your premiums. What happens if a building is destroyed by fire, or some other accident? Would it have to be rebuilt as it was? The intent of designation is to preserve the historic, physical, contextual or other community heritage value of a property. If a building on a heritage property is completely or partially destroyed, the designation by-law does not oblige the owner to replicate any lost heritage attributes. A replacement building, for example, can be of a different design. What if I want the original features of my property to be replicated in case of damage? If this is what you want, make sure you re properly covered. Insurance coverage for this depends on the degree of risk you and your insurance company are prepared to share. The age, quality and condition of your building will affect what coverage is available and the premium charged. Replacement cost coverage requires prior insurance appraisal of the building. It generally provides for the property to be repaired or replaced with like kind and quality up to the amount stated in the policy. If available, guaranteed replacement cost coverage can provide for replication of original historical detailing and other important features that have been lost or damaged whether or not a property is designated. Some insurance companies even offer a special type of by-law endorsement coverage. If you have a designated property, it is advisable to share your designation by-law with your insurer in order to be certain that heritage attributes are properly covered by your policy. You can also obtain coverage for actual cash value (ACV). The ACV is the calculated cost of replacing the property with something of like kind after taking depreciation into account. When you arrange the insurance, be sure to speak with your insurance representative about the basis of your claims settlement. It is important to understand what you can expect if the building were to be completely r partially destroyed by an insured peril. As with any insurance plan, it s best to research the various insurance providers in order to find the most competitive rate and best service from your insurer. If you have further questions, you can contact the Insurance Bureau of Canada Consumer Information Centre at 416-362-9528 or 1-800-387-2880 (Direct Lines) Consumer Officer(s) available Mon. to Fri. 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.

What is the Process to Apply for Approval to Renovate or Alter a Designated Building? Please ensure you do not start work on your project without approval. Step 1 - Submit a written request that outlines the scope of the intended work and the type of materials to be used. It is a good idea to include drawings and pictures where possible. Your request should be delivered to Heritage Penetanguishene, c/o the Committee Secretary at the Townhall (address noted on the cover page). Step 2 - The Committee Secretary will advise you of the meeting date and time where your application will be heard. The Committee meets every second month and we appreciate you giving us ample time to review your application. Regardless of our regularly scheduled meetings, we will try to process requests within three weeks of receipt. You are always welcome to attend and speak to your application at the meeting. The meetings are very informal and we do our best to ensure you are comfortable. Step 3 - Heritage Penetanguishene is an advisory body to the Council under the Ontario Heritage Act. All recommendations by the Committee must be confirmed by the Council of the Town of Penetanguishene. Council meets frequently and, in most cases, will review Heritage Penetanguishene s recommendation on your application within a two week period. The entire approval process will take a minimum of approximately 5 weeks. Step 4 - The Committee Secretary will contact you following the Council meeting. You are also welcome to attend the Council meeting. Depending on the decision by Council, and if the intended alteration requires a permit, the Building Department may now issue a permit application. Please note that the Building Department will NOT issue a building permit for a designated property without formal approval from Council. You should always contact the Committee Secretary at the Townhall prior to starting your application. We can offer you valuable information regarding completing your application and about anticipated timelines. We want to work with you to make this as easy as possible while still maintaining the historical significance of your property. Verbal Update from A. Proulx Re: Heritage Property Owner Inf...

The Heritage Tax Rebate Program The following information contains the program guidelines for the Heritage Tax Rebate Program. Complete application packages will be available in December. Please contact the Committee Secretary at the Townhall for further details. PROGRAM GUIDELINES PURPO SE Well-maintained heritage properties give communities a unique character and enrich our quality of life. Restoring heritage properties has been a catalyst for revitalizing historic town centres and drawing residents, businesses and visitors to communities. While heritage properties provide benefit and enjoyment to the whole community, most of these properties are in private ownership. It is this historical significance which is being preserved through the protection and enhancement of its local heritage properties. The incorporation of these resources into the fabric of our community has provided a distinct sense of place, which contributes to the evolution and character of our Town. The preservation of heritage properties benefits of all members of the community. Every owner is responsible for the normal upkeep and maintenance of their property. However, it is recognized that heritage properties may require more intensive care, custom work or restoration at a somewhat higher cost than one would encounter with newer buildings. Viable and well-maintained designated properties enhance the sense of history and community, and also provide educational value for future generations. In 2005, Council established a heritage tax rebate program for designated heritage properties within the Town of Penetanguishene. This policy was reviewed by Heritage Penetanguishene and Council in 2011. Property tax relief supports heritage conservation by recognizing that owners of heritage properties often incur above average costs to maintain aging structures and the heritage attributes of these properties. 1. GENERAL a. Refunds shall be subject to the availability of funding for the program. b. The program may be eliminated by Council through repeal of the By-law at any time with no prior notice whatsoever to affected persons. c. The program is subject to any regulations that the Minister of Finance may make governing Bylaws on tax refunds or reductions for heritage properties. d. The program shall be administered through Heritage Penetanguishene, with final approval subject to the Planning & Development Services Section, or designated committee, endorsement.
