Dear Mayor Corrigan and Council:

Thank you for your continued support for Heritage BC's Call to Renew. As you may know, goverrunent has been working hard to develop a plan for our province's historic places, one that would strengthen British Columbia's communities and have longevity. As a vocal supporter of our province's heritage, I am pleased to be able to send you goverrunent's response.

;4< Our Heritage, Historic Places is the new heritage strategy for British Columbia. The strategy is found on the website at http://ow.lylhHiY and details a new approach that ensures historic places remain vibrant parts of our communities.

Underlying this strategy has been goverrunent's commitment of$21 million over 3 years for Provincial Heritage Property stewardship. In addition, goverrunent has committed a further $500,000 to transform Heritage BC into a dynamic, self-sufficient organization that leads and coordinates British Columbia's community heritage work.

With these goals in mind, I recently made Heritage BC the sole agency responsible for managing the Heritage Legacy Fund. This strengthened role for the organization complements the role of goverrunent in implementing the strategy.

By these measures, I am satisfied that we have laid a strong foundation for innovation, creativity and growth through historic place stewardship that addresses the Call to Renew and seizes the opportunity provided by our heritage of historic places in building sustainable communities.

Thank you for your commitment to our province'S great heritage.

Sincerely,

Steve Thomson Minister

NEWS RELEASE Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations

$500,000 to support heritage, vibrant communities

KELOWNA - The government of B.C. is providing $500,000 to Heritage BC to help local governments and heritage organizations strengthen the presence of heritage buildings and historic sites in local communities and help implement the province's heritage strategy, Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson announced today.

The Heritage Strategy for British Columbia: Our Heritage, Historic Places, also released today by Thomson, outlines the Province's future plans to ensure B.C.'s historic places remain an active and dynamic part of B.C. communities.

Through the strategy, the Province is providing Heritage BC $500,000 to transform its business model. The funding will help strengthen the organization's already-proven ability to deliver heritage planning and training services to communities and provide other heritage conservation services to support the preservation of historic places throughout B.C. As well, Heritage BC now will be the fund advisor to the $5 million Heritage Legacy Fund.

The strategy was prepared with input from local governments, businesses, heritage advocates and the public. It highlights three main goals to achieve a sustained and growing presence of historic sites in local communities including responsible heritage stewardship at all levels of government, a strong economy that embraces the economic and social contributions of historic places and a strong sense of community identity through access to services that recognize the value of local heritage.

These goals will be achieved through collaboration of all partners and stakeholders as well as by building local government and community capacity for heritage conservation.

B.C.'s historic buildings, structures and cultural landscapes provide social and economic benefits to communities and families throughout the province and help British Columbians appreciate where we come from as a society.

Quotes:

Minister of Forests, lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson -

"Historic places are an important part of B.C.'s past, present and future. Ensuring these jewels are conserved will contribute to healthy and culturally rich communities for years to come."

Eric Pattison, president, Heritage BC -

"Through this tremendous support from government, Heritage BC will be able to implement exciting new initiatives that will strengthen heritage conservation in communities across the province. This support recognizes the possibilities of the future grow from the rich soil of our past."

Quick Facts:

• Local governments have been responsible for conserving their community's historic places since 1994, when legislation was amended to provide them with tools to recognize, protect and encourage conservation.

• Budget 2012 included a commitment of $21 million over the next three years for the maintenance and operation of provincial heritage sites.

• The allocation for 2012-13 is $7.046 million, which will create an estimated 96 direct, full-time jobs.

• B.Cs Register of Historic Places has over 3,500 listings of recognized historic places -and there are hundreds more that have yet to be registered.

STATE OF HERITAGE fN BRITISH COLUMBIA

----------

British Columbia's heritage includes historic places in communities across the province, providing a 'sense of place' and contributing to our Province's unique identity. This strategy is government's plan for supporting heritage conservation in British Columbia over the next five to ten years. It has been written to help ensure British Columbia remains a leader in sustaining and benefitting from its heritage.

An Evolving Area of Practice The field of heritage conservation is fairly young in British Columbia. In 1994, extensive amendments to heritage legislation provided stronger powers and authorities to local governments. There has been a shift in British Columbia, and world-wide, from a focus on landmark historic site museums to a broader focus integrating heritage as o~.e of the values in community planning and resource management. This provides for greater recognition, celebration and conservation of the historic places that make up the unique social, economic and environmental fabric of our province. Increasingly, local governments, First Nations, and others consider heritage values in making resource management decisions.

Collaboration in the Conservation of Heritage There is a growing appreciation that the conservation of heritage is not just the responsibility of a single agency, rather it is better achieved through collaboration within and across governments as well as with the private and not-for-profit sectors. One marker of this has been the development since 2002 of a community governance model for management of the provincial heritage properties. From the largest sites such as Barkerville and Fort Steele, to smaller sites like Emily Carr House and Historic Yale, the new governance models have increased economic benefits to communities through local job creation and as strong economic drivers for tourism in their regions. As well the sites have broadened their financial base and increased their independence from the provincial government, while achieving a stronger co.nnection with and responsiveness to community interests.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT HERITAGE PROGRAMS IN B.C.

A numberofB.C. communities

have robust heritage programs

administered by local government.

These heritage programs use a

set of planning tools outlined in

the 7994 heritage conservation

provisions of the Local Government

Act, including heritage registers,

revitalization agreements, alteration

or development permits and financial

incentive programs. Nanaimo is a

small community that has taken

advantage of these provisions. As one

of British Columbia~ oldest settlements,

Nanaimo boasts a rich history in the

coal mining and resource industry. In

2007, Nanaimo City Council adopted a

Heritage Action Plan which identified

key actions including a Community

Heritage Register that by 2017

had over 770 listings. As well the

City created a downtown Heritage

Conservation Area, implemented

a Heritage Procedures Bylaw, and

created financial incentive programs

to encaurage homeowners and

developers to upgrade Nanaimo~

historic buildings. In 2011,

Nanaimo~ Heritage Program received

the Prince of Wales prize and an

honourable mention fram

the Heritage Canada FOllndation.

Our Heritage - Historic Places

ini The preparation of this strategy draws on consultation with hundreds of stakeholders in all areas of the province, British Columbians expressed enthusiasm about honouring and sharing their legacies with this generation and the next Through these consultations, the opportunities for the future include:

) Representation - Recognition of historic places could be more representative of the diversity of British Columbia's population, including more opportunities to celebrate First Nations' heritage,

) Communication - The public value of our heritage can be more effectively communicated to a broader audience, C\?lebrating historic places, which includes provincial recognition, is one factor for success in addressing this opportunity,

) Capacity - Community capacity to conserve and manage historic places should be bolstered, This includes investing in traditional trades and skills, increasing volunteerism, and engaging youth, First Nations and new reSidents in the celebration and stewardship of heritage,

This strategy acknowledges these opportunities and in addressing them seeks to ensure that heritage plays an even stronger role in the prosperity of British Columbia,

Emerging Areas of Focus for this Strategy From this understanding of the interests British Columbians have with their heritage, and the evolution that has taken place with conservation goals and approaches, four areas of focus for the next five years have emerged:

» Facilitate community heritage conservation, including First Nations.

) Recognize and celebrate British Columbia's historic places.

> Foster cross government and sector collaboration in heritage stewardship.

) Increase the financial self sufficiency of provincial heritage properties.

These four areas of focus do not rule out other efforts to encourage and facilitate the conservation and celebration of our province's historic places, These areas of focus provide a concerted effort to be more proactive, strengthen relationships, ensure sustainability of our historic places, and more broadly, increase the depth of our shared heritage as British Columbians,

First Nations and Historic Places The Province seeks to work with First Nations to foster a common understanding of their important, non'archaeological historic places, Strengthening tile relationship with First I~ations around the identification and management of their cultural landscapes and built environments is integral to achieving this goal. Through a focused effort to build inclusive, respectful processes, the Province seeks to continue its work with First Nations to more effectively recognize their historic

places as a key component in British Columbia'S heritage mosaic

SETTING THE VISION AND GOALS FORTHE FUTURE This strategy refiects a shared commitment to embrace the social, economic and environmental benefits of our heritage of historic places, as part of our collective history. It also recognizes the critical need to encourage and facilitate recognition, conservation, and commemoration of this history through government, First Nations, community and industry collaboration.

A Vision for Heritage in British Columbia British Columbia's heritage and historic ploces are honoured, and their contribution to community identity, economic health, and environmental stewardship is fully realized by this and future generations.

Goals for Realizing British Columbia's Vision. This strategy strives to achieve the following goals:

1. British Columbia's identity is strengthened and renewed through . heritage conservation - By honouring the collective legaci~s of our cities, towns, rural areas and lands with citizens and visitors to our province, we can strengthen British Columbia's identity as well as facilitate community renewal.

2. Environmental stewardship through heritage conservation - This goal will be realized through leadership in sustainable practices and historic place conservation that can be applied to stewardship in the broader built environment. This, combined with a triple-bottom line approach, brings together the economic and social aspects of heritage with the environmental.

3. Economic diversity and durability through heritage conservation -In working toward this goal, the link between history and the economy needs to be made in a compelling way so that British Columbians understand the role their historic places and heritage playas a catalyst for economic vitality throughout the province. An entrepreneurial approach to the management of historic places must also be fo~tered to ensure their long term operation and sustainability. Further, the building of capacity for future community stewardship of heritage contributes to this goal.

These goals, and the overarching vision for heritage in British Columbia, will guide the investment of resources toward encouraging and facilitating the recognition, conservation and celebration of heritage in the province ..

, Resource Management

. The Province, in partnership with the

. Cowichan Valley Regional District has rehabilitated the largest wooden structure in North America, the Kinsol Trestle. The rehabilitated trestle is an important part of the Trans-Canada Trail on Vancouver Island building community health and tourism along with contributing to job creation.

Job Creation and Investment

In 2009, the Community Development Trust's lob Opportunities Program provided employment and retraining for over 60 displaced forestry workers. These people learned new skills in historic place (onservation by working at provincial historic properties and receiving training in the College of New Caledonia's Heritage Building Conservation Program. A number have since gone on to work in the renovation and construction sector.

Recognition of British Columbia'S Heritage

The BC Register of Historic Places is the master record of places that have been recognized as having significance to British Columbians. The Register contains over 3,200 entries representing the diversity ofB.C. communities. A further 2,300 recognitions are anticipated to be included on the Register in the next few years.

Cross-Government Integration -In 2012, the provincial government designated the McAbee Fossil Beds as a provincial heritage site. Planning for the site has brought together diverse government departments to realize both its protection and future management. The integration of heritage functions alongside other resource management functions of government has facilitated tMs approach.

The implementation of the strategies and actions profiled above will require provincial government and partner support,

but will also offer the means to make the best use of these resources. The Province invested 55 million in the Heritage

Legacy Fund of BC in 2003, with this endowment generating an

annual interest income that is available to support community groups in heritage conservation. The provincial government

also contributes an annual budget for the BC Heritage Branch and in 2011 set aside 521 million over three years for continued

operations as well as maintenance of the provincial heritage properties. Another $8.7 million was approved for a four

year project to upgrade sewer, Are and water infrastructure

at Barkerville and Fort Steele. Together, these resources can contribute to the advancement of this strategy, and potentially leverage other sources of support.

Administrative Zoning Change - Bby Lake Regional Nature Park 2013 May OJ .................................................................. Page 2

REPORT 1.0 REZONING PURPOSE

The purpose of the proposed rezoning bylaw amendment is to bring the prevailing zoning of the subj ect properties owned by the City and Metro Vancouver into conformance with their designated use as a public park.

2_0 GENERAL INFORMATION

2.1 At its Closed Meeting on 2012 December 03, Council received and approved a report from the Community Development Committee which recommended that Council approve the advancement of rezoning applications for lands owned by the City, Metro Vancouver and BC Hydro within the boundaries· of the Burnaby Lake Regional Nature Park to the Park and Public Use District (P3).

2.2 The Burnaby Lake Regional Nature Park is a designated regional park of about 323 hectares (800 acres). The primary purpose of the Burnaby Lake Regional Nature Park is to provide a large, water-oriented nature and conservation park with compatible public sport and recreational facilities. The development and use of all lands within the Park . have been managed cooperatively by the City and Metro Vancouver following the adopted 1975 Burnaby Lake Regional Park Community Plan and the 1978 lease agreement with Metro Vancouver for civic properties within the regional park boundaries. The City of Burnaby has retained ownership and responsibility for the west section of the lakeshore as part of the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex. Under the adopted lease agreement for civic lands, Metro Vancouver has committed to the City of Burnaby to acquire the remaining privately-owned properties within the boundaries of Burnaby Lake Regional Nature Park, and to develop and maintain the Park and operate its related facilities and programs. The Park's adopted development plan includes the provision that all the lands within the boundary of the regional park are to be acquired and rezoned to the P3 Park and Public Use District in line with the City'S adopted Official Community Plan and regional land use designation.

2.3 This rezoning application is being advanced as an administrative procedure to bring the prevailing zoning of both the City-owned and Metro Vancouver properties into conformance with the adopted Community Plan land use designation of the Park to reflect the intended use of these public properties for conservation and recreation purposes (see rezoning Letters of Intent attachet/)o The remaining lands owned by BC Hydro and private properties that remain to be acquired by Metro Vancouver for park use will be the subject of future separate rezoning applications.

3.0 PROPERTY AND LOCATIONAL CONTEXT

The subject properties fall within the adopted boundaries of the Burnaby Lake Regional Nature Park, and have been identified to be rezoned under the P3 District in conformance to the land use

24


Administrative liming Change - Bhy Lake Regional Nature Park 2013 May 01 ................................................................ ... Page 3

designation in the Burnaby Lake Regional Nature Park Community Plan. The subject properties comprise a total of 17 lots and some unaddressed properties owned by the City of Burnaby, Metro Vancouver, and the Greater Vancouver Sewerage & Drainage District (a separate incorporated public entity under the legal authority of Metro Vancouver), and are currently zoned A2 Small Holdings District, M2 General Industrial District and R5 Residential District. The properties proposed for rezoning to the P3 District are located in the following four areas (see aitached Sketch #1):

Area 1

This area includes a portion of the City-owne9 property, 3290 Sperling Avenue, and an unopened road right-of-way which is located at the northwestern section of the Park. The property is utilized for the park's perimeter trail and zoned R5 District.

Area 2

This area is located in the southwestern section of the Park adjacent to Burnaby Lake. It is largely comprised of five vacant lots owned by Metro Vancouver, but also includes some vacant City-owned properties located between Glencarin Drive and the Trans Canada Highway. All of the properties within this area are currently vacant or utilized for the park's perimeter tra,il and zoned R5 District.

Area 3

~his area is located in the northeastern section of the Park and is comprised of five lots owned by Metro Vancouver. It includes the Picken House "Aintree", a designated heritage building at 6825 Cariboo Road, and vacant properties at 9002 Brunette River, 9011 Avalon Avenue and 9186 Brunette River, which are all zoned A2 District. It also includes 6743 Cariboo Road which is located immediately south of the Cariboo Business Park and is utilized for the park's perimeter trail and zoned M2 District.

It is noted that the Picken House "Aintree" (see attached Sketch #2 and Attachment 1), was identified as a heritage building to be retained for appropriate adaptive reuse in a Draft Management Plan prepared by Metro Vancouver for Burnaby Lake Regional Nature Park, and was formally designated by bylaw as a City Heritage site in 2004. Since the completion of the building's restoration in 2006, the house has been secured and maintained for future park use by Metro Vancouver.

Metro Vancouver has now developed a plan to incorporate the use of the property into the Park program and proposes to lease space in the house to Catching the Spirit Youth Society. This nonprofit society is an active partner in regional parks and provides youth with the opportunity to participate in environmental projects. The proposed use of the Picken House as an administration office for park programs requires that the property be rezoned to the P3 Park and

25


Administrative Zoning Change - Bhy Lake Regional Nature Park 2013 May OJ ................................................................... Page 4

Public Use District. This would permit the use of 6825 Cariboo Road as an accessory building for this purpose within the Park under the P3 District.

Area 4

This area includes a number of irregularly-shaped City-owned lots which are located adjacent to the Trans Canada Highway and are currently vacant and zoned A2 District.

4.0 GENERAL COMMENTS

4.1 The majority of the lands within the boundaries of Burnaby Lake Regional Nature Park have already been acquired by the City and/or Metro Vancouver for park purposes and rezoned to P3 District.

4.2 At this time, only four private parcels within the park's boundaries remain to be acquired (see attached Sketch #3). 4490 Piper Avenue, which comprises three legal parcels under single ownership zoned R5 District, is currently occupied by a private residence. 9164 Avalon A venue is a single parcel occupied by a private residence and is zoned A2 District. These four lots are located in the northern section of the Park and are to be acquired by Metro Vancouver as they become available for sale under the City's agreement for the management of the Park.

4.3 The properties owned by BC Hydro are located in Areas 2 and 4, as shown in Sketch #1, and are currently zoned A2 District and R5 District, and utilized for electrical transmission lines as part of a contiguous right-of-way bordering the southwestern and southeastern edge of the park (see attached Sketch #4). Rezoning of these remaining lands are intended to be advanced with the cooperation and agreement of BC Hydro in due course to bring the zoning of these properties into conformance with the adopted Community Plan.

4.4 Granting by Council of Final Adoption to this rezoning will bring the. subject properties into conformance with their approved park and public use designation.

TO: CHAIR AND MEMBERS DATE: 2013 May 21 COMMUNITY HERITAGE COMMISSION

FROM: DIRECTOR PLANNING AND BUILDING FILE: 77000 20 Reference: Heritage Plaques

SUBJECT: NEW HAVEN DEVELOPMENTHERITAGE SITE INTERPRETIVE PLAQUES

PURPOSE: To authorize the design and installation of interpretive plaques for the Duncan & Margaret McGregor Estate "Glen-Lyon" and the New Haven Barn.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. THAT Council be requested to approve the design and installation of interpretive plaques for the Duncan & Margaret McGregor House "Glen-Lyon" and New Haven Barn, as outlined in this report. .

REPORT

1.0 BACKGROUND

In December 2006, as part of the New Haven Development, Burnaby Council designated the Duncan & Margaret McGregor Estate "Glen-Lyon" and New Haven Barn at 4250 Marine Drive as a protected City heritage site. Under the Heritage Conservation Plan approved under Rezoning Reference #05-50, Amacon, the Applicant, is required to establish an interpretive program to explain to the public the heritage value of the site and the features that were formally conserved and protected within the Heritage Precinct. With the completion of the required heritage restoration of the two buildings, the bronze plaques for the house and barn were installed in January 2013. Additionally, two (2) interpretive panels were required to be produced and installed under the development plan. The final design and content of these ,interpretive panels for the review and approval by the Community Heritage Commission and Council are the subject of this report.

2.0 NEW HAVEN INTERPRETIVE PLAQUES

The New Haven Development Plan provided for the installation of two (2) interpretive plaques as part of the public amenities located on this residential development. The first interpretive sign panel will be located near the formal court and displays the evocative historic panoramic photograph of the Glen-Lyon Estate taken circa 1914. The interpretive sign also incorporates accompanying text and additional historic photographs to describe the historic and architectural significance of the Edwardian era estate and its conservation by the developer and the City of

Burnaby, including information and photographs related to the McGregor Family, the Home of the Friendless and the New Haven Borstal Home for Boys (see Attachmellt 1). A second interpretive panel will be located in the former farmyard near the New Haven Barn and describes the significant institutional history associated with the site, the New Haven Correctional Centre, and the significance of the introduction of the Borstal system to Canada (see Attachmellt 2).

The panels will be affixed to an information kiosk constructed with timber posts, cedar soffits and asphalt shingles and mounted on a concrete base, and located on the public urban trail constructed on a public easement through the residential development (see Attachmellts 3 aud 4). The signs will be funded and installed at the Applicant's expense in cooperation with the City. The ongoing maintenance of the signs will be the responsibility of the City through the heritage site interpretation program operated by the Community Heritage Commission.

3.0 NEXT STEPS

The installation of the interpretive panels will complete the Heritage Interpretation Program, as required as a condition of the New Haven Development Plan and the Heritage Conservation Plan for the Duncan & Margaret McGregor Estate. The primary intent of the program is to provide the public with the opportunity to learn about the site's rich history and heritage resources. This report is sllbmitted for the consideration of the Community Heritage Commission.

COMMISSION REPORT


FROM: DIRECTOR PLANNING AND BUILDING FILE: 1650 01 Reference: Heritage Plaqlles

SUBJECT: DESIGNATED HERITAGE BUILDING PLAQUES

PURPOSE: To authorize the manufacture and installation of designated heritage building plaques .

. RECOMMENDATION:

1. THAT Council be requested to approve the expenditure of up to $3,500.00 (inclusive of GST and/or PST, and shipping costs) for the manufacture and installation of plaques for a number of private and publicly-owned designated heritage buildings, as outlined in this report.

REPORT

Under the Community Heritage Commission's annual plaque program, plaques are manufactured and installed at various designated heritage buildings throughout the City. The bronze plaques, which convey the name of the original owner and/or building name and the building's construction date, serve to highlight the structure's legal protection by the City and convey the special interest and pride that the community retains in these historic sites. As in previous years, staff have compiled a list of designated heritage buildings for the proposed manufacture and installation of heritage plaques. This includes the recently designated First United Spiritual Church (formerly known as the Chapel of Peace) and a number of previously designated Cityowned heritage buildings.

At present, there are a total of twenty-six (26) City-owned buildings, structures and/or sites with a heritage designation. Some of these, such as the civic cenotaphs and the "Swinging Girl'~ neon sign, are not suitable for the· installation of a bronze plaque, while others have already been provided with a plaque in past years. There are seven (7) designated heritage buildings that have not yet received a plaque which are sllitable for the installation of a plaque (see Table 1). In addition, there are two (2) privately-owned designated heritage buildings, and a new heritage site designation anticipated for 2013, the Vickers Residence, proposed for the installation of a plaque at this time.

It is proposed that each of these buildings be provided with a plaque to ensure that their heritage designation and legal protection are made known to the public. The City's heritage building plaques are manufactured in bronze (see Attachment 1) and securely attached to the building's face, usually adjacent to the front entrance. The cost of manufacturing and installing these ten (10) plaques has been estimated at $3,500.00. Funds to undertake the proposed project are available in the 2013 budget of the Community Heritage Commission.

The proposed manufacture and installation of heritage building plaques through the Commission's plaque program will ensure more prominence and recognition for these designated heritage buildings throughout the City. This report is submitted for the consideration of the Community Heritage Commission .

COMMISSION REPORT


FROM: DIRECTOR PLANNING AND BUILDING FILE: 7700020 Reference: Heri{(lge Designation Bylaw

SUBJECT: GEORGE S. VICKERS RESIDENCE, 7686 FIRST STREET

PURPOSE: To seek Council authorization to designate the George S. Vickers Residence at 7686 First Street as a City Heritage Site.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. THAT Council authorize the preparation of a Heritage Designation Bylaw for advancement to First Reading on 2013 June 10 and to a Public Hearing on 2013 June 25 at 7:00 p.m.

2. THAT Council approve the listing of the George S. Vickers Residence on the Burnaby Community Heritage Register as a Protected Heritage Property.

REPORT

1.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

On 2012 November I, the Community Heritage Commission received and approved a report from the Director Planning and Building which recommended "THAT staff be authorized to prepare a report for the designation of the George S. Vickers Residence as a City Heritage Site."

The owner, Mrs. Gwendolyn Rumble, initiated discussions with the City in order to achieve an agreement to formally protect and conserve this historic house and its property. Mrs. Rumble has occupied this property since 1958 with her family, acquiring it from her parents, John and Kathleen Lees, who purchased the property in 1946, and hold fond memories of living and raising their family in the house. Mrs. Rumble, a retiree and long-time dedicated volunteer at the Burnaby Village Museum, has maintained the house and property. The applicant has elected to pursue the long-term legal protection offered by the City's adoption of a Heritage Designation Bylaw (HOB) for the heritage building and its site.

2.0 HERITAGE DESIGNATION

2.1 Local Government Act - Heritage Designation Bylaw Process

Under the terms of the Local Government Act, provision is made for the designation by bylaw of property that " .... has heritage value or character. ..... (Section 967). The intention of the designation

45

: To: Commlll/it)' Heritage COl1lmission From: Director P/wlIlillg and Bui/ding lie: George S. Vickers lIesidence, 7686 First Street 20 I J May 2 I ...... .............................................................. Page 2

bylaw is to ensure that any future design changes to the heritage building and site will require a heritage alteration permit that would be considered by Council and reviewed by the Community Heritage Commission.

Section 968 of the Local Government Act specifies the formal procedures to be followed as part of the designation process which includes a Public Hearing, notification of the owners, a report outlining the heritage value of the property, its relationship to the community or Official Community Plan objectives, the effect of the designation upon the use, the condition and viability of the property and the possibility of the need for financial support.

2,2 Required Heritage Information

The following provides the information required under the Act with regard to the above noted requirements.

2.2.1 Heritage Character Stateme1lt

History

The house is a high·quality Craftsman style bungalow which forms a landmark in East Burnaby at the corner of First Street and Thirteenth Avenue (see Attachme1lts #1 & #2). It was built in 1911 for George S. Vickers, a prominent Burnaby resident who worked as an employee of The British Columbia1l newspaper in New Westminster and became involved with real estate during the boom prior to the First World War. It was originally situated on one acre of property, which contained a large. kitchen garden, an orchard of 40 trees of various types and houses and runs for chickens, ducks and turkeys. In 1919, the property was advertised for $5,000 and likely sold easily because of its location (three blocks from the electric streetcar line on Sixth Street), its many amenities and property improvements. The house is cUITently listed on Burnaby's Community Heritage Register - Inventory.

Architecture

Unique features of the house include its panelled living and dining room, beamed ceilings and an open fireplace. Craftsman-style features include battered porch piers, unusual double bargeboards, triangular eave brackets and exposed pm·lins. The house is currently in excellent condition, with only minor alterations to its original construction.

2.2.2 Compatibility of COllservatioll with Commullity Plall alld Adjoillillg Lalld Uses

Planning for the conservation of heritage resources is outlined in Burnaby's Official Community Plan (OCP). Burnaby has established a goal "to provide opportunities for the increased awareness and the conservation of the City's unique natural, cultural, archaeological and built heritage." The conservation of this landmark heritage building and property is considered compatible within its well·developed neighbourhood context of predominantly single and two-family dwellings. The retention, conservation and designation of this house and property through bylaw will add another significant heritage building to the City'S list of protected heritage properties.

From: Director Planlling alld Building Re: George S. Vickers Res;dence, 7686 Firsl Slreel 20/3 lv/ay 2/ .................................................................... Page 3

2,2.3 COlldition and Economic Viability of the Property

The George S. Vickers Residence remains in excellent condition as it has been well maintained by past owners, with only minor alterations to its original construction. The economic viability of the property is considered secure given the building's good physical condition, its suitability for its continued use as a single-family residence, and the high market value of the property in the context of its stable single and two-family residential neighborhood.

2.2.4 Possible Neet/for Financial Support to Enable Conservation

The building wiII continue to be owned and utilized as a private dwelling and maintained accordingly. There are no additional economic incentives that are being sought or would be required at this time to ensure its continued protection and conservation. Staff will continue to work in cooperation with the CUtTent and future owners of the property to ensure the heritage character of this City Heritage Site will be protected and conserved following the standards and guidelines for heritage properties. Any future renovation or alteration of the house and its site would be subject to Council approval of a Heritage Alteration Permit or Heritage Revitalization Agreement.

3.0 CONCLUSION

The protection of the George S. Vickers Residence through a Heritage Designation Bylaw offers the City of Burnaby an opportunity to protect a significant heritage building that forms a landmark in East Burnaby and is an important City heritage resource. Utilizing the 0PPOliunity presented by the wish of the current owner, to ensure its long-term protection, is guided by the Official Community Plan that seeks to protect our significant cultural heritage resources. With Council approval of the recommendations of this report, the subject bylaw would be advanced to a Public Hearing on 2013 June 25,

COMMISSION REPORT

TO: CHAIR AND MEMBERS COMMUNITY HERITAGE COMMISSION

FROM: DIRECTOR PLANNING AND BUILDING

SUBJECT: HERITAGE ALTERATION PERMIT FREDERICK & EDNA CUNNINGHAM HOUSE 3555 DOUGLAS ROAD (X REZ #13.15)

DATE: 2013 May 23

FILE: 77000 20 Reference: Heritage Alteratioll Permit

PURPOSE: To seek approval for the issuance of a Heritage Alteration Pennit for this Designated Heritage Site.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. THAT Council approve issuance of a Hetitage Alteration Pennit for the Frederick & Edna Cunningham House located at 3555 Douglas Road, subject to the approval of Rezoning Reference #13-15, as outlined in this report.

REPORT

1.0 BACKGROUND

In 1995, the property at 3555 Douglas Road was subdivided into three lots. The final subdivision agreement included designation of the Frederick & Edna Cunningham House as a City heritage site which was concluded through the adoption of Bylaw No. 10470 by Council on 1996 November 04. The designation bylaw included a provision under legislation that any future changes to the extetior of the building will require a Heritage Alteration Permit that would be reviewed by the Community Heritage Commission and considered by Council.

In 2004, the Community Heritage Commission considered and recommended a report in connection with Rezoning Reference #04-15 that Council issue a Hetitage Alteration Pelmit for the Cunningham House to allow for a two-storey addition on the north elevation over a crawl space, a family room with a covered porch for the main floor and new master bedroom addition to the second floor, and a small addition on the west elevation. These additions were approved and adopted by Council at their meeting on 2004 June 07 and have been completed.

Since purchasing the property in 1996, the needs of the owners have changed and alterations to the house are necessary to cater for a growing family. Appealing elsewhere on the Commission's Agenda and pertaining to this proPeJty is a report for Rezoning Reference #13-15, submitted by the owners of the Cunningham House, Pietro Ferronato and Lisa Renzullo. The purpose of the rezoning is to amend the portion of the property at 3555 Douglas Road zoned R3"a" District zoning and the existing building covenant related to the fonn of the constructed dwelling. The report recommends that staff work with the applicant on a suitable plan of development for presentation to a Public Healing and that the proposal be referred to the Community Heritage Commission for a recommendation regarding issuance of a Hetitage Alteration Pennit. This report outlines the Hetitage

Cunningham House, 3555 Douglas Road 2013 May 23 ................................................................... Page 2

Alteration Permit process, the proposed alterations and presents a recommendation to grant a Heritage Alteration Permit for this designated heritage site, subject to approval of Rezoning Reference # 13-15.

2.0 PROPOSED REZONING

The applicant proposes to amend the existing R3"a" District zoning and building covenant for the site as approved under Rezoning Reference #04-15, to allow for construction of an addition to the rear of the house. The proposed addition would enlarge the existing kitchen on the main floor, provide for an increased bedroom area on the upper floor, and allow additional storage space in the cellar. The total floor area of the proposed west addition is approximately 93 sq.m. (or 999 sq.ft.).

The new additions are well within the R3"a" District zoning for the site, including the requirements for both the established maximum floor space ratio and the minimum building setbacks. This proposal also preserves the option for the completion of a future subdivision to the west of the residence that the City has provided for in the area's subdivision guide plan.

3.0 HERITAGE ALTERATION PERMITS

Under the Local Government Act, all structures protected by Heritage Designation Bylaws require that a Heritage Alteration Permit be issued by Council to legally allow for any proposed material and design alterations and building relocations. Burnaby's Community Heritage Commission reviews all applications for Heritage Alteration Permits for recommendation to Council for consideration following the review of the property's heritage value and impact of the proposed alterations.

3.1 Heritage Value

The Frederick & Edna Cunningham House, considered a landmark in the Douglas Road neighbourhood, is valued as a good example of an Arts- and Crafts-styled residence. The rough cast stucco, Tudor-inspired gable decoration and large eave brackets are just a few of the character defining elements of the Cunningham House (see Attachmellt #1). The house blends into its surroundings, which are extensively landscaped with rockeries, lawns, shrubs, trees and perennial beds. The two majestic copper beech trees, over 60 years old, are among the best specimens of their type to be found in Greater Vancouver and are protected under covenant. The Cunningham property is significant as one of the last estate homes remaining on the old Douglas Road, at one time noted for its beautiful estates set. within the rural character of Burnaby's Central Valley. The house was constructed in 1923 by Frederick and Edna Cunningham and served as the family home for 60 years. Fred Cunningham was an insurance agent and the only son of James Cunningham, who served as the mayor of New Westminster between 1872 and 1874. The landmark 60-foot tall Victorian flag pole in the garden was moved to this site when Fred Cunningham's prestigious family home in New Westminster was demolished in 1938.

3.2 Proposed Alterations

The proposed additions to the Cunningham House have been developed through detailed consultation with the Planning Department (see Attachmellt #2). The proposal involves a two- storey addition on the west elevation, with an enlarged kitchen and a dining area on the main floor, two additional bedrooms on the upper floor and storage space in the cellar. The location of the proposed west

addition, which is located at the rear of the house and away from Douglas Road, provides for continuity of the established house.design and does not adversely impact the prominent front facade and main entrance. It should be noted that the proposed addition to the house is achieved within the constraints posed by the existing tree covenants, a number of statutory road and utility right-of-way areas within the property, and the area's subdivision guide plan.

The submitted design for this work has been prepared by a qualified architect, The architect was previously retained by the owner for their earlier additions to the north and west elevation in 2004 under Rezoning Reference #04-15. As with the additions in the previous Heritage Alteration Permit, the residential form, massing and scale, including placement of window and door openings, roofline, and as well as the material, craftsmanship and finish, would match the existing details of this Arts.and Crafts-style house, and is keeping with the City's adopted heritage conservation principles. In consideration of the owner's intent to create additions in harmony with the original house design, the proposed minor alterations to this Designated Heritage Building are considered suitable and supportable.

4.0 NEXT STEPS

As outlined in this report, the proposed alterations to this designated heritage site are minor in nature and have been developed with a suitable design response, and meet the adopted principles of heritage conservation. It is, therefore recommended that the Commission request Council's approval for the issuance ofa Heritage Alteration Permit, subject to approval of Rezoning Reference #13-15 ..

Upon adoption of the recommendations of this report by Council, the proposal would be advanced through the rezoning process with a request to Council to present the development proposal to a future Public Hearing. Subject to Final Adoption of the rezoning application by Council, staff will continue work with the applicant to ensure compliance with an approved Heritage Alteration Permit for the Frederick & Edna Cunningham House and the successful completion of this heritage project.

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM

TO: CHAiR AND MEMBERS DATE: 17 April 2013 COMMUNITY HERITAGE COMMISSION

FROM: ARILEASILL CITY ARCHIVIST

FILE: 2410-20

SUBJECT: CITY OF BURNABY ARCIDVES . UPDATE

Reference: Community Hen'rage Commission

For the information of the Chair and Members of the Community Heritage Commission, I would like to provide a brief update on work at the City Archives since our last meeting.

Over the past few months, staff at the Burnaby Village Museum have been working closely with the Burnaby Public Library to explore partnership opportunities between the various heritage groups in the City. One project that was identified as a potential joint initiative involved the collection of over 500 photographs held by BPL, taken in the late 1970s as part of the Contemporary Visual Archives Project. This project, initiated by the library in 1976, was done in conjWlction with Simon Fraser University Communication students. Its aim was to present a contemporary view of Burnaby at that time in photographs. It is a unique and valuable collection but its public access was hindered by the fact that the photographs had not been itemized or described individually in any online catalogue. Preservation issues were also identified, so staff from the Library, Museum and Archives met to discuss the best approach for managing these assets and making them available to the wider community. The result of this collaboration was the permanent transfer of the records to the City Archives. The photographs are now in the process of being re-housed and described, scanned and made available on the Heritage Burnaby website. They should be up and online this Fall.

The Archives is also pleased to advise that another summer student from the School of Library, Archival and Information Studies (UBC) will be joining us in July and August to work on a Professional Experience project. Similar to the internship program we participated in last year, the Professional Experience is for course credit, providing the student with the opportunity to participate in a working archival environment, applying the skills and theory they learned in school to a real-world situation.
