Executive Summary
Scarlett Janusas Archaeological amp Heritage Consulting amp Education (SJACHE) was retained by
Metrus Developments to conduct a cultural heritage impact assessment on two properties in the
proposed Employment Block (subdivision) located at 11098 Dixie Road in the City of
Brampton This property had been identified as exhibiting potential according to the City of
Brampton Heritage Guidelines by Archaeological Services Inc in 2008 as part of a larger
cultural heritage assessment
This property lies within the proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo subdivision bordered by Highway 410 Mayfield Road Dixie Road and Countryside Road in the City of Brampton
The cultural heritage impact assessment of these properties included a field visit archival
research and architectural evaluation
The original historic landscape of the area is rural agricultural The property located at 11098
Dixie Road has been subject to recent modifications to the landscape (dewatering along Dixie
Road in ground pool large construction berm to immediate west of property) to diminish the
historic landscape
The structures located on 11098 Dixie Road consist of a 1 and 12 storey wood frame house with
additions and five outbuildings (2 barns a shed and another outbuilding) The residence at
11098 Dixie Road is not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900
(personal communication Mr Gray Sr)
The property does not meet any of the criteria of OHA O Reg 906
The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified
1 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description of its
importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
2 Commemorate the early settlers of this property through use of the family name for street
names

10 INTRODUCTION
Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education (SJAHCE) was
retained METRUS Development Inc to conduct a Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment for two
properties located in the City of Brampton This report deals with the property on Lot 16
Concession 3 EHS former Township of Chinguacousy Regional Municipality of Peel This
property is located at 11908 Dixie Road (Figures 1 and 2)
The current Official Plan designation of the proposed study area is Industrial There is no
Official Plan Amendment required to redesignate this land for the proposed employment
purposes The current zoning of the subject land is Agricultural (A) Agricultural (A-847) and
Institutional 2 (12) The proposed Zoning of the subject land is a site specific Industrial One
(M1) Zone along with the Floodplain (F) for the valley feature and Stormwater Management
Pond (both distant from the two heritage properties) The Countryside Villages Secondary Plan
(SP48a) designates that land as Prestige Industrial Stormwater Management Facility Wetland
Terrestrial Features and Valleyland (MacKinnon 2010)

A cultural heritage study was completed in 2008 by Archaeological Services Inc (ASI) of a
larger geographic area which included the study area This report extracts data from the ASI
report pertinent to the two properties including a general historic overview
The purpose of conducting a cultural heritage assessment is to ldquohellipKnow where the heritage value of the historic place lies how it fits physically and functionally in its surroundings and
how it was and is important to its larger community past present and futurerdquo (Parks Canada 20034)
Additional research and field visits were conducted by Scarlett Janusas BA MA of SJAHCE
and Mr David Eckler AREA Architects with permission of Metrus Development Inc
Curriculum vitaes of key personnel are presented in the appendices
3 I 2-9This report provides details on the built heritage of this property and its associated cultural
heritage landscape Potential impacts to the property will be examined based on the proposed
plans for subdivision and discuss any proposed mitigation measures by the proponent The
results of the cultural heritage impact assessment provides a description of the historical context
of the area the property itself an evaluation of significant cultural features and
recommendations for adaptive reuse or alternative recommendations

20 HISTORIC SUMMARY
The following historic summary is taken from the ASI (200813-14) cultural heritage assessment
of a larger geographic area as pertinent to the property
ldquoPart of the land which encompasses Chinguacousy Township was alienated by the British from
the native Mississaugas through a provisional treaty dated October 28 1818 (Indian Treaties
189119 p47)
The township is said to have been named by Sir Peregrine Maitland after the Mississauga word
for the Credit River and which signified ldquoyoung pinerdquo Other scholars assert that it was named in honour of the Ottawa Chief Shinguacose which was corrupted to the present spelling of
ldquoChinguacousyrdquo under whose leadership Fort Michilimacinac was captured from the Americans
in the War of 1812rdquo (Mika 1977416 Rayburn 199768)
The township was formally surveyed in 1818 and the first ldquolegalrdquo settlers took up their lands later in that same year The extant Survey Diaries indicated that the original timber stands within
the township included oak ash maple beech elm basswood hemlock and pine The survey
crew working in the township in the summer of 1891 suffered under extreme conditionshellip
It was recorded that the first landowners in Chinguacousy were composed of settlers from New
Brunswick the United States and also some United Empire Loyalists and their children (Pope
187765 Mika 1977417 Armstrong 1985142)
Chinguacousy was originally included within the limits of the Home District until 1849 when
the old Upper Canadian Districts were abolished It formed part of the United Counties of York
Ontario and Pell until 1851 when Peel was elevated to independent County status under the
provisions of 14 amp 15 Vic Ch 5 A provisional council for Peel was not established until 1865
and the first official meeting of the Peel County council did not occur until January 1867 In
1974 part of the township was amalgamated with the City of Brampton and the remainder was
annexed to the Town of Caledon (Pope 187759 Mika 1977417-418) Armstrong 1985152
Rayburn 199768)
Due to the small population of the then newly acquired tract Chinguacousy was initially united
with the Gore of Toronto Township for political and administrative purposes In 1821 the
population of the united townships numbered just 412 By 1837 the population of the township
had reached an estimated 1921 The numbers grew from 3721 in 1842 to 7469 in 1851
Thereafter the figures declined to 6897 in 1861 and to 6 129 by 1871 (Walton 183771 Pope
187759)
The township was the largest in Peel County Chinguacousy was described as one of the best
settled townships in the Home District It contained excellent rolling land which was timbered
mainly in hardwood with some pine intermixed Excellent wheat was grown here The township
contained one grist mill and seven saw mills By 1851 this number had increased to two grist
mills and eight sawmills (Smith 184632 Smith 1851279)
5 I 2-11
The principal crops grown in Chinguacousy included wheat oats peas potatoes and turnips It
was estimated that the only township in the province which rivaled Chinguacousy in terms of
wheat production at that time was Whitby Other farm products included maple sugar wool
cheese and butter (Smith 1851279)
In 1877 it was described as a ldquofirst class agricultural township and the farmers as a general thing have been very successful in their undertakings many of them having amassed quite a fortune
The township is noted for its beautiful and substantial farm residences and commodious barns
The farms also are generally in the highest state of cultivation while the grounds in front of the
residences are for the most part tastefully arranged with beautiful flowers and shade trees giving
each place and the country generally a handsome appearance (Pope 187765)
Mayfield This village was described as a ldquosmall settlementrdquo which contained a brick school house store post office blacksmith shop and hotel The hotel was managed by F Archdeken in
1869 The postmaster was William Spiers and the village store was kept by Robert Hiscocks
The population was about 50 inhabitants in 1877 (McEvoy 1869304 Pope 187766)rdquo
The former village of Mayfield is included in the general description because of its influence at
the crossroads of Mayfield Road and Dixie Road
Additional research conducted by SJAHCE provides a synopsis on the economic ups and downs
from circa 1845 to 1910 in former Peel County
In a study of Peel County Canada West general conditions were noted by Gagan (198112) of
the period of the 1850s Gagan wrote
ldquoThe 1850s were ushered in by a series of eventshellipThe Irish famine emigrations of 1847-8 the
advent of responsible government in 1849 the completion of the St Lawrence canal system a
reciprocal trading agreement with the United States of America and an expanding imperial
market for Canadian wheat all contributed in less than a decade (1845-54) to the definition of a
new era in Canadian historyrdquo
By this Gagan infers that the time was ripe for settlement and growth from 1845 to 1854 in the
then County of Peel This prosperous time however was shortlived as the early 1860s brought
ldquocommercial depression (1857-1860) decline in wheat prices (47 in 4 years) a series of
severe crop failures disruption of the American market for Canadian livestock dairy products
cereal and forage cropshellip(ibid13) These processes caused a crisis in the community No longer was there expansion but rather those hardy settlers that could endure became
ldquosurvivorsrdquo Changes in their daily lives included marrying later in life having fewer children no longer having extended families in one household and for many movement out of the
province altogether
By 1870 there was again an economic recovery and stabilization in Peel County and for
approximately 40 years there was what could be coined as a relative respite from hard times
Former agricultural reliance on wheat as a crop moved to a more mixed farming community
6 I 2-12
Those individuals who settled in the area in the 1840s and 1850s and weathered through the
difficult late 1850s and 1860s are examples of the strength and ingenuity of Peel‟s early settlers
21 Individual Property History
The following history of Lot 17 east half Concession 3 (EHS) are taken from ASI (200814-17)
as they pertain to the three properties investigated in this report
211 East Half of Lot 17 Concession 3 (EHS)
The earliest patent plan showed that the east half of this was in possession of James Townly or
Townley during the 1820s and 1830s (Sherwood 182) Townley (ca 1789-1830) was a native
of England who arrived in York Upper Canada on September 3 1819 He submitted his petition
for land as a settler on the following day This document described him as a farmer from Catton
Lancashire England while other records stated that he was a native of Yorkshire His wife Ann
(1785-1865) was a native of Whitehaven Cumberland England His settlement duties for this
land had been completed by the end of October 1824 This meant that he had cleared and fenced
part of his acreage constructed a permanent dwelling house at least 16 x 20 feet in size and had
cleared one-half of the road allowance in front of his farm His patent fees were paid by the third
week of November in the same year (Upper Canada Land Petition T1281) Township Papers pp
455-457 Perkins Bull pp 68912-68918)
hellip
Evidence shows that this lot was in the possession of Thomas Archdekin and Fenton Lawler in
1837 (Walton 183767 69) Unfortunately this early Directory is not specific as to the amount
of land held by each man which part of the lot they held and whether they owned or simply
occupied it as tenants
One of the early assessment rolls for the township showed that this lot was occupied by Thomas
Archdekin and Isaac Bailey in 1844 Bailey was partially assessed upon the value of his
livestock which consisted of horses milch cows and an ox Archdekin owned horses a milch
cow and other ldquohornedrdquo cattle (Assessment roll 1844)
The east half of the lot was patented by James Townley on November 24 1824 It was sold to
Maurice Hearn approximately three weeks later for pound25 Subsequent owners included Lawler
Fenton (1827) and Thomas Ingoldsby (1854) A small half acre parcel was sold to Thomas
Archdekin in February 1835 (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoArdquo p 81) The 1871 census indicates that Archdekin (b 1816) was a hotel keeper on this land and the 1859 Tremaine map
showed a hotel at the most northerly angle of the lot in the village of Mayfield The Archdekin
household consisted of his wife Martha (b 1812) and a 16 year old servant named Henry
Connington He was a native of Ireland and a member of the Church of England Archdekin
grew potatoes and apples on his land (1871 Census division d-2 p14 5) This small parcel
passed through the hands of several owners until it was acquired by Joseph Peter McGurk in
April 1903 The balance of the lot remained in the possession of the Ingoldsby family until after
7 I 2-13the turn of the twentieth century By February 1905 it was in the hands of Thomas and
Thaddeus Ingoldsby (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoBrdquo p 140) The 1877 Atlas showed that this corner of the lot contained an inn as well as a house barn and orchardsrdquo
Appendix B presents the abstract index for the property Land registry records are principally
records for the transference and amounts paid for said transference of lands
Structures are indicated on this lot in the area of the inn (not the extant structure of this study) on
the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting early settlement in the area The same structure and the
extant structure of this study area are indicated on the 1877 Illustrated Historic Atlas map The
1877 map indicates ownership by Thomas Ingoldsby and the abstract index suggests that he
owned that portion of the property in 1854 It can be assumed that he built the structure
sometime between 1854 and 1877 Early settlement structures did not tend to be substantial so
the presence of a field stone house situated near the crossroads of Mayfield is a direct reflection
of status and wealth of the early owners
Instrument No 55739 is the probate of the last will and testament of George Gray identified as
a yeoman The instrument number is January 12 1909 however the will actually dated August th
30 1908 Fifty acres of land from Lot 16 Concession 3 EHS was bequeathed to his son
Joseph Gray and the remainder was bequeathed equally to the remaining sons and daughters
without specifying amounts or what the assets actually entailed
There were no structures indicated on this lot in the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting the family
had a homestead on other lands However by 1877 the Illustrated Historic Atlas does depict
structures which suggests that the extant house dates sometime between 1860 and 1877

30 MUNICIPAL CONTACT
Mr Jim Leonard City of Brampton Heritage was informed of the cultural heritage impact
assessment of the property in March 2010 Mr Leonard provided additional information with
respect to the property (see below)
31 11098 Dixie Rd ndash Category B
The heritage portion of the subject property comprises the farmhouse immediate frontage tree
lines and groupings in the generally vicinity surrounding the farmhouse along with nearby barn
complex and laneways
The property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or
interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside
Villages)
The subject property exhibits cultural heritage value as a cultural heritage landscape It
comprises a vernacular Ontario farmhouse exhibiting simple GeorgianLoyalist proportions
This landscape comprises four structures - two barns a shed and a farmhouse The house is a 1
and a half storey side gabled structure with a metal clad roof and likely sitting on a fieldstone
foundation The front facade is adorned with an original verandah that is supported by wood
posts Original wood window and door openings appear intact The exterior is currently clad
with synthetic siding
The barns feature metal clad gable roof lines and vertical plank wood exteriors
The shed is metal clad and has a metal exterior
Also of note on the property are the existing front yard setback groupings of mature trees and
other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouse
Rare and representative example of a vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist
design influences dating to the mid 19th century barn and shed complex associated with
Bramptons and Chinguacousy settlement history history of agriculture trees setbacks and other
property characteristics help define the area

40 PROCESS amp POLICIES FOR HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
(HIA)
41 Applicable Heritage Policies
The conservation of cultural heritage properties is governed at the provincial level by the Ontario
Heritage Act RSO 1990 with amendments up to 2006 (OHA) (Government of Ontario 2006)
and Section 26 Cultural Heritage and Archaeology of the Provincial Policy Statement of the
Planning Act 2005 (PPS) The PPS Policy 263 is a recent policy which incorporated a
requirement for an impact assessment on adjacent heritage resources
ldquoDevelopment and site alteration may be permitted on adjacent lands to protected heritage property where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been
demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conservedrdquo
These two provincial pieces of legislation the OHA and PPS have been incorporated into the
heritage policies of the City of Brampton But the PPS regulation does not specifically apply to
these properties since they have not been designated under the OHA and hence by definition is
not a ldquoprotected heritage propertyrdquo under this legislation
Instead the applicable municipal legislation governing these properties would be the Brampton
Official Plan 1993 which establishes the requirement of an HIA as follows
49210 The City may request the preparation of a heritage impact statement when any conduction development or property alteration might adversely affect [sic] a listed or designated property or a property adjacent to such a property
The format and content of the HIA are described in the Ministry of Culture Ontario Heritage
Tool Kit (Ontario Ministry of Culture 2006) and also analogous to the provincial standards in
the City‟s Guidelines for Preparing Heritage Impact Assessment (Leonard 2008) These content
requirements are incorporated into the sections below except for some changes to section titles
for relevance to the subject properties and project
42 Process for Determining Heritage Value
Each property listed on the City‟s Heritage Inventory is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria
(Government of Ontario 2006) and in the case of Brampton further developed with a specific
municipal scoring system Brampton‟s Criteria of Heritage Value (Leonard 2007) The
provincial criteria categories will be used in section 7 titled ldquoHeritage Inventory amp Evaluation of Heritage Elementsrdquo to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject properties
Each property listed on the Town‟s Heritage Register is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value (Government of Ontario 2006) The provincial criteria
12 I 2-18categories will be used in the subsequent sections of this report to evaluate the heritage
significance of the subject properties according to Table 1
Table 1 Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value
OHA O Reg 906 Categories
OHA Criteria for Heritage Value
Design or Physical Value
The property has design value or physical value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit or Demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement
Historical or Associative Value
The property has historical value or associative value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Yields or has the potential to yield information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture or Demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect artists builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
Contextual Value The property has contextual value because it Is important in defining maintaining or supporting the character of an area Is physically functionally visually or historically linked to its surroundings or Is a landmark
13 I 2-19
50 ASSESSMENT OF PRINCIPAL BUILDING COMPONENTS
The property was identified by ASI (2008) during the cultural heritage assessment of a larger
geographic area The property was recommended for additional heritage evaluation The
property is presented below (Figure 5) as described by ASI during the field season of 2007 and
from the 2008 report (200860 64-65)
None of the interiors of any of the property formed part of the cultural heritage assessment
conducted by ASI
51 Surrounding Areas
SJAHCE and AREA Architects conducted a field visit of the exterior and interior of both
properties on March 1st 2010 The study area was bounded to the east by Dixie Road to the
north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 and to the south by Countryside Road A
dewatering program was underway along Dixie Road during the field visit The view to the east
remained relatively unchanged by ldquomodernrdquo development consisting of an old school building
with a date stone of 1872 [now demolished] located at the northeast corner of Dixie and
Countryside Roads In addition there were two residences (11623 and 11575 Dixie Road) which
were considered to date between the 1950s and 1960s There was also a farm complex located at
1115 Dixie Road known as Grey Haven Farms
The view to the south is very disruptive to the original historic view (farmland) It is currently
under intense development for a ldquoMaster Planned Communityrdquo and no longer retains any of its
original rural agricultural aspect
The view to the west includes a moderately rolling hill topography (existing associated
farmlands) and Highway 410 A large earth berm sits directly behind (west) of 11098 Dixie
Road The berm and Highway 410 impact the original rural agricultural character of the two
properties
The view to the north includes a very busy Mayfield Road which has been widened from its
original two lane configuration and farmland This view retains a more historical aspect of
farmlands and a mid-Victorian two storey brick residence

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

There is a small metal clad garage located at the end of the driveway that sits southwest of the
residence Photograph 26 illustrates the garage
Photograph 26 Garage to Southwest of House
There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

20 HISTORIC SUMMARY
The following historic summary is taken from the ASI (200813-14) cultural heritage assessment
of a larger geographic area as pertinent to the property
ldquoPart of the land which encompasses Chinguacousy Township was alienated by the British from
the native Mississaugas through a provisional treaty dated October 28 1818 (Indian Treaties
189119 p47)
The township is said to have been named by Sir Peregrine Maitland after the Mississauga word
for the Credit River and which signified ldquoyoung pinerdquo Other scholars assert that it was named in honour of the Ottawa Chief Shinguacose which was corrupted to the present spelling of
ldquoChinguacousyrdquo under whose leadership Fort Michilimacinac was captured from the Americans
in the War of 1812rdquo (Mika 1977416 Rayburn 199768)
The township was formally surveyed in 1818 and the first ldquolegalrdquo settlers took up their lands later in that same year The extant Survey Diaries indicated that the original timber stands within
the township included oak ash maple beech elm basswood hemlock and pine The survey
crew working in the township in the summer of 1891 suffered under extreme conditionshellip
It was recorded that the first landowners in Chinguacousy were composed of settlers from New
Brunswick the United States and also some United Empire Loyalists and their children (Pope
187765 Mika 1977417 Armstrong 1985142)
Chinguacousy was originally included within the limits of the Home District until 1849 when
the old Upper Canadian Districts were abolished It formed part of the United Counties of York
Ontario and Pell until 1851 when Peel was elevated to independent County status under the
provisions of 14 amp 15 Vic Ch 5 A provisional council for Peel was not established until 1865
and the first official meeting of the Peel County council did not occur until January 1867 In
1974 part of the township was amalgamated with the City of Brampton and the remainder was
annexed to the Town of Caledon (Pope 187759 Mika 1977417-418) Armstrong 1985152
Rayburn 199768)
Due to the small population of the then newly acquired tract Chinguacousy was initially united
with the Gore of Toronto Township for political and administrative purposes In 1821 the
population of the united townships numbered just 412 By 1837 the population of the township
had reached an estimated 1921 The numbers grew from 3721 in 1842 to 7469 in 1851
Thereafter the figures declined to 6897 in 1861 and to 6 129 by 1871 (Walton 183771 Pope
187759)
The township was the largest in Peel County Chinguacousy was described as one of the best
settled townships in the Home District It contained excellent rolling land which was timbered
mainly in hardwood with some pine intermixed Excellent wheat was grown here The township
contained one grist mill and seven saw mills By 1851 this number had increased to two grist
mills and eight sawmills (Smith 184632 Smith 1851279)
5 I 2-11
The principal crops grown in Chinguacousy included wheat oats peas potatoes and turnips It
was estimated that the only township in the province which rivaled Chinguacousy in terms of
wheat production at that time was Whitby Other farm products included maple sugar wool
cheese and butter (Smith 1851279)
In 1877 it was described as a ldquofirst class agricultural township and the farmers as a general thing have been very successful in their undertakings many of them having amassed quite a fortune
The township is noted for its beautiful and substantial farm residences and commodious barns
The farms also are generally in the highest state of cultivation while the grounds in front of the
residences are for the most part tastefully arranged with beautiful flowers and shade trees giving
each place and the country generally a handsome appearance (Pope 187765)
Mayfield This village was described as a ldquosmall settlementrdquo which contained a brick school house store post office blacksmith shop and hotel The hotel was managed by F Archdeken in
1869 The postmaster was William Spiers and the village store was kept by Robert Hiscocks
The population was about 50 inhabitants in 1877 (McEvoy 1869304 Pope 187766)rdquo
The former village of Mayfield is included in the general description because of its influence at
the crossroads of Mayfield Road and Dixie Road
Additional research conducted by SJAHCE provides a synopsis on the economic ups and downs
from circa 1845 to 1910 in former Peel County
In a study of Peel County Canada West general conditions were noted by Gagan (198112) of
the period of the 1850s Gagan wrote
ldquoThe 1850s were ushered in by a series of eventshellipThe Irish famine emigrations of 1847-8 the
advent of responsible government in 1849 the completion of the St Lawrence canal system a
reciprocal trading agreement with the United States of America and an expanding imperial
market for Canadian wheat all contributed in less than a decade (1845-54) to the definition of a
new era in Canadian historyrdquo
By this Gagan infers that the time was ripe for settlement and growth from 1845 to 1854 in the
then County of Peel This prosperous time however was shortlived as the early 1860s brought
ldquocommercial depression (1857-1860) decline in wheat prices (47 in 4 years) a series of
severe crop failures disruption of the American market for Canadian livestock dairy products
cereal and forage cropshellip(ibid13) These processes caused a crisis in the community No longer was there expansion but rather those hardy settlers that could endure became
ldquosurvivorsrdquo Changes in their daily lives included marrying later in life having fewer children no longer having extended families in one household and for many movement out of the
province altogether
By 1870 there was again an economic recovery and stabilization in Peel County and for
approximately 40 years there was what could be coined as a relative respite from hard times
Former agricultural reliance on wheat as a crop moved to a more mixed farming community
6 I 2-12
Those individuals who settled in the area in the 1840s and 1850s and weathered through the
difficult late 1850s and 1860s are examples of the strength and ingenuity of Peel‟s early settlers
21 Individual Property History
The following history of Lot 17 east half Concession 3 (EHS) are taken from ASI (200814-17)
as they pertain to the three properties investigated in this report
211 East Half of Lot 17 Concession 3 (EHS)
The earliest patent plan showed that the east half of this was in possession of James Townly or
Townley during the 1820s and 1830s (Sherwood 182) Townley (ca 1789-1830) was a native
of England who arrived in York Upper Canada on September 3 1819 He submitted his petition
for land as a settler on the following day This document described him as a farmer from Catton
Lancashire England while other records stated that he was a native of Yorkshire His wife Ann
(1785-1865) was a native of Whitehaven Cumberland England His settlement duties for this
land had been completed by the end of October 1824 This meant that he had cleared and fenced
part of his acreage constructed a permanent dwelling house at least 16 x 20 feet in size and had
cleared one-half of the road allowance in front of his farm His patent fees were paid by the third
week of November in the same year (Upper Canada Land Petition T1281) Township Papers pp
455-457 Perkins Bull pp 68912-68918)
hellip
Evidence shows that this lot was in the possession of Thomas Archdekin and Fenton Lawler in
1837 (Walton 183767 69) Unfortunately this early Directory is not specific as to the amount
of land held by each man which part of the lot they held and whether they owned or simply
occupied it as tenants
One of the early assessment rolls for the township showed that this lot was occupied by Thomas
Archdekin and Isaac Bailey in 1844 Bailey was partially assessed upon the value of his
livestock which consisted of horses milch cows and an ox Archdekin owned horses a milch
cow and other ldquohornedrdquo cattle (Assessment roll 1844)
The east half of the lot was patented by James Townley on November 24 1824 It was sold to
Maurice Hearn approximately three weeks later for pound25 Subsequent owners included Lawler
Fenton (1827) and Thomas Ingoldsby (1854) A small half acre parcel was sold to Thomas
Archdekin in February 1835 (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoArdquo p 81) The 1871 census indicates that Archdekin (b 1816) was a hotel keeper on this land and the 1859 Tremaine map
showed a hotel at the most northerly angle of the lot in the village of Mayfield The Archdekin
household consisted of his wife Martha (b 1812) and a 16 year old servant named Henry
Connington He was a native of Ireland and a member of the Church of England Archdekin
grew potatoes and apples on his land (1871 Census division d-2 p14 5) This small parcel
passed through the hands of several owners until it was acquired by Joseph Peter McGurk in
April 1903 The balance of the lot remained in the possession of the Ingoldsby family until after
7 I 2-13the turn of the twentieth century By February 1905 it was in the hands of Thomas and
Thaddeus Ingoldsby (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoBrdquo p 140) The 1877 Atlas showed that this corner of the lot contained an inn as well as a house barn and orchardsrdquo
Appendix B presents the abstract index for the property Land registry records are principally
records for the transference and amounts paid for said transference of lands
Structures are indicated on this lot in the area of the inn (not the extant structure of this study) on
the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting early settlement in the area The same structure and the
extant structure of this study area are indicated on the 1877 Illustrated Historic Atlas map The
1877 map indicates ownership by Thomas Ingoldsby and the abstract index suggests that he
owned that portion of the property in 1854 It can be assumed that he built the structure
sometime between 1854 and 1877 Early settlement structures did not tend to be substantial so
the presence of a field stone house situated near the crossroads of Mayfield is a direct reflection
of status and wealth of the early owners
Instrument No 55739 is the probate of the last will and testament of George Gray identified as
a yeoman The instrument number is January 12 1909 however the will actually dated August th
30 1908 Fifty acres of land from Lot 16 Concession 3 EHS was bequeathed to his son
Joseph Gray and the remainder was bequeathed equally to the remaining sons and daughters
without specifying amounts or what the assets actually entailed
There were no structures indicated on this lot in the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting the family
had a homestead on other lands However by 1877 the Illustrated Historic Atlas does depict
structures which suggests that the extant house dates sometime between 1860 and 1877

Mr Jim Leonard City of Brampton Heritage was informed of the cultural heritage impact
assessment of the property in March 2010 Mr Leonard provided additional information with
respect to the property (see below)
31 11098 Dixie Rd ndash Category B
The heritage portion of the subject property comprises the farmhouse immediate frontage tree
lines and groupings in the generally vicinity surrounding the farmhouse along with nearby barn
complex and laneways
The property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or
interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside
Villages)
The subject property exhibits cultural heritage value as a cultural heritage landscape It
comprises a vernacular Ontario farmhouse exhibiting simple GeorgianLoyalist proportions
This landscape comprises four structures - two barns a shed and a farmhouse The house is a 1

40 PROCESS amp POLICIES FOR HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
(HIA)
41 Applicable Heritage Policies
The conservation of cultural heritage properties is governed at the provincial level by the Ontario
Heritage Act RSO 1990 with amendments up to 2006 (OHA) (Government of Ontario 2006)
and Section 26 Cultural Heritage and Archaeology of the Provincial Policy Statement of the
Planning Act 2005 (PPS) The PPS Policy 263 is a recent policy which incorporated a
requirement for an impact assessment on adjacent heritage resources
ldquoDevelopment and site alteration may be permitted on adjacent lands to protected heritage property where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been
demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conservedrdquo
These two provincial pieces of legislation the OHA and PPS have been incorporated into the
heritage policies of the City of Brampton But the PPS regulation does not specifically apply to
these properties since they have not been designated under the OHA and hence by definition is
not a ldquoprotected heritage propertyrdquo under this legislation
Instead the applicable municipal legislation governing these properties would be the Brampton
Official Plan 1993 which establishes the requirement of an HIA as follows
49210 The City may request the preparation of a heritage impact statement when any conduction development or property alteration might adversely affect [sic] a listed or designated property or a property adjacent to such a property
The format and content of the HIA are described in the Ministry of Culture Ontario Heritage
Tool Kit (Ontario Ministry of Culture 2006) and also analogous to the provincial standards in
the City‟s Guidelines for Preparing Heritage Impact Assessment (Leonard 2008) These content
requirements are incorporated into the sections below except for some changes to section titles
for relevance to the subject properties and project
42 Process for Determining Heritage Value
Each property listed on the City‟s Heritage Inventory is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria
(Government of Ontario 2006) and in the case of Brampton further developed with a specific
municipal scoring system Brampton‟s Criteria of Heritage Value (Leonard 2007) The
provincial criteria categories will be used in section 7 titled ldquoHeritage Inventory amp Evaluation of Heritage Elementsrdquo to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject properties
Each property listed on the Town‟s Heritage Register is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value (Government of Ontario 2006) The provincial criteria
12 I 2-18categories will be used in the subsequent sections of this report to evaluate the heritage
significance of the subject properties according to Table 1
Table 1 Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value
OHA O Reg 906 Categories
OHA Criteria for Heritage Value
Design or Physical Value
The property has design value or physical value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit or Demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement
Historical or Associative Value
The property has historical value or associative value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Yields or has the potential to yield information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture or Demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect artists builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
Contextual Value The property has contextual value because it Is important in defining maintaining or supporting the character of an area Is physically functionally visually or historically linked to its surroundings or Is a landmark
13 I 2-19
50 ASSESSMENT OF PRINCIPAL BUILDING COMPONENTS
The property was identified by ASI (2008) during the cultural heritage assessment of a larger
geographic area The property was recommended for additional heritage evaluation The
property is presented below (Figure 5) as described by ASI during the field season of 2007 and
from the 2008 report (200860 64-65)
None of the interiors of any of the property formed part of the cultural heritage assessment
conducted by ASI
51 Surrounding Areas
SJAHCE and AREA Architects conducted a field visit of the exterior and interior of both
properties on March 1st 2010 The study area was bounded to the east by Dixie Road to the
north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 and to the south by Countryside Road A
dewatering program was underway along Dixie Road during the field visit The view to the east
remained relatively unchanged by ldquomodernrdquo development consisting of an old school building
with a date stone of 1872 [now demolished] located at the northeast corner of Dixie and
Countryside Roads In addition there were two residences (11623 and 11575 Dixie Road) which
were considered to date between the 1950s and 1960s There was also a farm complex located at
1115 Dixie Road known as Grey Haven Farms
The view to the south is very disruptive to the original historic view (farmland) It is currently
under intense development for a ldquoMaster Planned Communityrdquo and no longer retains any of its
original rural agricultural aspect
The view to the west includes a moderately rolling hill topography (existing associated
farmlands) and Highway 410 A large earth berm sits directly behind (west) of 11098 Dixie
Road The berm and Highway 410 impact the original rural agricultural character of the two
properties
The view to the north includes a very busy Mayfield Road which has been widened from its
original two lane configuration and farmland This view retains a more historical aspect of
farmlands and a mid-Victorian two storey brick residence

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave

Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure
44
I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

Executive Summary
Scarlett Janusas Archaeological amp Heritage Consulting amp Education (SJACHE) was retained by
Metrus Developments to conduct a cultural heritage impact assessment on two properties in the
proposed Employment Block (subdivision) located at 11098 Dixie Road in the City of
Brampton This property had been identified as exhibiting potential according to the City of
Brampton Heritage Guidelines by Archaeological Services Inc in 2008 as part of a larger
cultural heritage assessment
This property lies within the proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo subdivision bordered by Highway 410 Mayfield Road Dixie Road and Countryside Road in the City of Brampton
The cultural heritage impact assessment of these properties included a field visit archival
research and architectural evaluation
The original historic landscape of the area is rural agricultural The property located at 11098
Dixie Road has been subject to recent modifications to the landscape (dewatering along Dixie
Road in ground pool large construction berm to immediate west of property) to diminish the
historic landscape
The structures located on 11098 Dixie Road consist of a 1 and 12 storey wood frame house with
additions and five outbuildings (2 barns a shed and another outbuilding) The residence at
11098 Dixie Road is not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900
(personal communication Mr Gray Sr)
The property does not meet any of the criteria of OHA O Reg 906
The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified
1 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description of its
importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
2 Commemorate the early settlers of this property through use of the family name for street
names

20 HISTORIC SUMMARY
The following historic summary is taken from the ASI (200813-14) cultural heritage assessment
of a larger geographic area as pertinent to the property
ldquoPart of the land which encompasses Chinguacousy Township was alienated by the British from
the native Mississaugas through a provisional treaty dated October 28 1818 (Indian Treaties
189119 p47)
The township is said to have been named by Sir Peregrine Maitland after the Mississauga word
for the Credit River and which signified ldquoyoung pinerdquo Other scholars assert that it was named in honour of the Ottawa Chief Shinguacose which was corrupted to the present spelling of
ldquoChinguacousyrdquo under whose leadership Fort Michilimacinac was captured from the Americans
in the War of 1812rdquo (Mika 1977416 Rayburn 199768)
The township was formally surveyed in 1818 and the first ldquolegalrdquo settlers took up their lands later in that same year The extant Survey Diaries indicated that the original timber stands within
the township included oak ash maple beech elm basswood hemlock and pine The survey
crew working in the township in the summer of 1891 suffered under extreme conditionshellip
It was recorded that the first landowners in Chinguacousy were composed of settlers from New
Brunswick the United States and also some United Empire Loyalists and their children (Pope
187765 Mika 1977417 Armstrong 1985142)
Chinguacousy was originally included within the limits of the Home District until 1849 when
the old Upper Canadian Districts were abolished It formed part of the United Counties of York
Ontario and Pell until 1851 when Peel was elevated to independent County status under the
provisions of 14 amp 15 Vic Ch 5 A provisional council for Peel was not established until 1865
and the first official meeting of the Peel County council did not occur until January 1867 In
1974 part of the township was amalgamated with the City of Brampton and the remainder was
annexed to the Town of Caledon (Pope 187759 Mika 1977417-418) Armstrong 1985152
Rayburn 199768)
Due to the small population of the then newly acquired tract Chinguacousy was initially united
with the Gore of Toronto Township for political and administrative purposes In 1821 the
population of the united townships numbered just 412 By 1837 the population of the township
had reached an estimated 1921 The numbers grew from 3721 in 1842 to 7469 in 1851
Thereafter the figures declined to 6897 in 1861 and to 6 129 by 1871 (Walton 183771 Pope
187759)
The township was the largest in Peel County Chinguacousy was described as one of the best
settled townships in the Home District It contained excellent rolling land which was timbered
mainly in hardwood with some pine intermixed Excellent wheat was grown here The township
contained one grist mill and seven saw mills By 1851 this number had increased to two grist
mills and eight sawmills (Smith 184632 Smith 1851279)
5 I 2-11
The principal crops grown in Chinguacousy included wheat oats peas potatoes and turnips It
was estimated that the only township in the province which rivaled Chinguacousy in terms of
wheat production at that time was Whitby Other farm products included maple sugar wool
cheese and butter (Smith 1851279)
In 1877 it was described as a ldquofirst class agricultural township and the farmers as a general thing have been very successful in their undertakings many of them having amassed quite a fortune
The township is noted for its beautiful and substantial farm residences and commodious barns
The farms also are generally in the highest state of cultivation while the grounds in front of the
residences are for the most part tastefully arranged with beautiful flowers and shade trees giving
each place and the country generally a handsome appearance (Pope 187765)
Mayfield This village was described as a ldquosmall settlementrdquo which contained a brick school house store post office blacksmith shop and hotel The hotel was managed by F Archdeken in
1869 The postmaster was William Spiers and the village store was kept by Robert Hiscocks
The population was about 50 inhabitants in 1877 (McEvoy 1869304 Pope 187766)rdquo
The former village of Mayfield is included in the general description because of its influence at
the crossroads of Mayfield Road and Dixie Road
Additional research conducted by SJAHCE provides a synopsis on the economic ups and downs
from circa 1845 to 1910 in former Peel County
In a study of Peel County Canada West general conditions were noted by Gagan (198112) of
the period of the 1850s Gagan wrote
ldquoThe 1850s were ushered in by a series of eventshellipThe Irish famine emigrations of 1847-8 the
advent of responsible government in 1849 the completion of the St Lawrence canal system a
reciprocal trading agreement with the United States of America and an expanding imperial
market for Canadian wheat all contributed in less than a decade (1845-54) to the definition of a
new era in Canadian historyrdquo
By this Gagan infers that the time was ripe for settlement and growth from 1845 to 1854 in the
then County of Peel This prosperous time however was shortlived as the early 1860s brought
ldquocommercial depression (1857-1860) decline in wheat prices (47 in 4 years) a series of
severe crop failures disruption of the American market for Canadian livestock dairy products
cereal and forage cropshellip(ibid13) These processes caused a crisis in the community No longer was there expansion but rather those hardy settlers that could endure became
ldquosurvivorsrdquo Changes in their daily lives included marrying later in life having fewer children no longer having extended families in one household and for many movement out of the
province altogether
By 1870 there was again an economic recovery and stabilization in Peel County and for
approximately 40 years there was what could be coined as a relative respite from hard times
Former agricultural reliance on wheat as a crop moved to a more mixed farming community
6 I 2-12
Those individuals who settled in the area in the 1840s and 1850s and weathered through the
difficult late 1850s and 1860s are examples of the strength and ingenuity of Peel‟s early settlers
21 Individual Property History
The following history of Lot 17 east half Concession 3 (EHS) are taken from ASI (200814-17)
as they pertain to the three properties investigated in this report
211 East Half of Lot 17 Concession 3 (EHS)
The earliest patent plan showed that the east half of this was in possession of James Townly or
Townley during the 1820s and 1830s (Sherwood 182) Townley (ca 1789-1830) was a native
of England who arrived in York Upper Canada on September 3 1819 He submitted his petition
for land as a settler on the following day This document described him as a farmer from Catton
Lancashire England while other records stated that he was a native of Yorkshire His wife Ann
(1785-1865) was a native of Whitehaven Cumberland England His settlement duties for this
land had been completed by the end of October 1824 This meant that he had cleared and fenced
part of his acreage constructed a permanent dwelling house at least 16 x 20 feet in size and had
cleared one-half of the road allowance in front of his farm His patent fees were paid by the third
week of November in the same year (Upper Canada Land Petition T1281) Township Papers pp
455-457 Perkins Bull pp 68912-68918)
hellip
Evidence shows that this lot was in the possession of Thomas Archdekin and Fenton Lawler in
1837 (Walton 183767 69) Unfortunately this early Directory is not specific as to the amount
of land held by each man which part of the lot they held and whether they owned or simply
occupied it as tenants
One of the early assessment rolls for the township showed that this lot was occupied by Thomas
Archdekin and Isaac Bailey in 1844 Bailey was partially assessed upon the value of his
livestock which consisted of horses milch cows and an ox Archdekin owned horses a milch
cow and other ldquohornedrdquo cattle (Assessment roll 1844)
The east half of the lot was patented by James Townley on November 24 1824 It was sold to
Maurice Hearn approximately three weeks later for pound25 Subsequent owners included Lawler
Fenton (1827) and Thomas Ingoldsby (1854) A small half acre parcel was sold to Thomas
Archdekin in February 1835 (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoArdquo p 81) The 1871 census indicates that Archdekin (b 1816) was a hotel keeper on this land and the 1859 Tremaine map
showed a hotel at the most northerly angle of the lot in the village of Mayfield The Archdekin
household consisted of his wife Martha (b 1812) and a 16 year old servant named Henry
Connington He was a native of Ireland and a member of the Church of England Archdekin
grew potatoes and apples on his land (1871 Census division d-2 p14 5) This small parcel
passed through the hands of several owners until it was acquired by Joseph Peter McGurk in
April 1903 The balance of the lot remained in the possession of the Ingoldsby family until after
7 I 2-13the turn of the twentieth century By February 1905 it was in the hands of Thomas and
Thaddeus Ingoldsby (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoBrdquo p 140) The 1877 Atlas showed that this corner of the lot contained an inn as well as a house barn and orchardsrdquo
Appendix B presents the abstract index for the property Land registry records are principally
records for the transference and amounts paid for said transference of lands
Structures are indicated on this lot in the area of the inn (not the extant structure of this study) on
the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting early settlement in the area The same structure and the
extant structure of this study area are indicated on the 1877 Illustrated Historic Atlas map The
1877 map indicates ownership by Thomas Ingoldsby and the abstract index suggests that he
owned that portion of the property in 1854 It can be assumed that he built the structure
sometime between 1854 and 1877 Early settlement structures did not tend to be substantial so
the presence of a field stone house situated near the crossroads of Mayfield is a direct reflection
of status and wealth of the early owners
Instrument No 55739 is the probate of the last will and testament of George Gray identified as
a yeoman The instrument number is January 12 1909 however the will actually dated August th
30 1908 Fifty acres of land from Lot 16 Concession 3 EHS was bequeathed to his son
Joseph Gray and the remainder was bequeathed equally to the remaining sons and daughters
without specifying amounts or what the assets actually entailed
There were no structures indicated on this lot in the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting the family
had a homestead on other lands However by 1877 the Illustrated Historic Atlas does depict
structures which suggests that the extant house dates sometime between 1860 and 1877

40 PROCESS amp POLICIES FOR HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
(HIA)
41 Applicable Heritage Policies
The conservation of cultural heritage properties is governed at the provincial level by the Ontario
Heritage Act RSO 1990 with amendments up to 2006 (OHA) (Government of Ontario 2006)
and Section 26 Cultural Heritage and Archaeology of the Provincial Policy Statement of the
Planning Act 2005 (PPS) The PPS Policy 263 is a recent policy which incorporated a
requirement for an impact assessment on adjacent heritage resources
ldquoDevelopment and site alteration may be permitted on adjacent lands to protected heritage property where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been
demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conservedrdquo
These two provincial pieces of legislation the OHA and PPS have been incorporated into the
heritage policies of the City of Brampton But the PPS regulation does not specifically apply to
these properties since they have not been designated under the OHA and hence by definition is
not a ldquoprotected heritage propertyrdquo under this legislation
Instead the applicable municipal legislation governing these properties would be the Brampton
Official Plan 1993 which establishes the requirement of an HIA as follows
49210 The City may request the preparation of a heritage impact statement when any conduction development or property alteration might adversely affect [sic] a listed or designated property or a property adjacent to such a property
The format and content of the HIA are described in the Ministry of Culture Ontario Heritage
Tool Kit (Ontario Ministry of Culture 2006) and also analogous to the provincial standards in
the City‟s Guidelines for Preparing Heritage Impact Assessment (Leonard 2008) These content
requirements are incorporated into the sections below except for some changes to section titles
for relevance to the subject properties and project
42 Process for Determining Heritage Value
Each property listed on the City‟s Heritage Inventory is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria
(Government of Ontario 2006) and in the case of Brampton further developed with a specific
municipal scoring system Brampton‟s Criteria of Heritage Value (Leonard 2007) The
provincial criteria categories will be used in section 7 titled ldquoHeritage Inventory amp Evaluation of Heritage Elementsrdquo to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject properties
Each property listed on the Town‟s Heritage Register is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value (Government of Ontario 2006) The provincial criteria
12 I 2-18categories will be used in the subsequent sections of this report to evaluate the heritage
significance of the subject properties according to Table 1
Table 1 Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value
OHA O Reg 906 Categories
OHA Criteria for Heritage Value
Design or Physical Value
The property has design value or physical value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit or Demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement
Historical or Associative Value
The property has historical value or associative value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Yields or has the potential to yield information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture or Demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect artists builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
Contextual Value The property has contextual value because it Is important in defining maintaining or supporting the character of an area Is physically functionally visually or historically linked to its surroundings or Is a landmark

50 ASSESSMENT OF PRINCIPAL BUILDING COMPONENTS
The property was identified by ASI (2008) during the cultural heritage assessment of a larger
geographic area The property was recommended for additional heritage evaluation The
property is presented below (Figure 5) as described by ASI during the field season of 2007 and
from the 2008 report (200860 64-65)
None of the interiors of any of the property formed part of the cultural heritage assessment
conducted by ASI
51 Surrounding Areas
SJAHCE and AREA Architects conducted a field visit of the exterior and interior of both
properties on March 1st 2010 The study area was bounded to the east by Dixie Road to the
north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 and to the south by Countryside Road A
dewatering program was underway along Dixie Road during the field visit The view to the east
remained relatively unchanged by ldquomodernrdquo development consisting of an old school building
with a date stone of 1872 [now demolished] located at the northeast corner of Dixie and
Countryside Roads In addition there were two residences (11623 and 11575 Dixie Road) which
were considered to date between the 1950s and 1960s There was also a farm complex located at
1115 Dixie Road known as Grey Haven Farms
The view to the south is very disruptive to the original historic view (farmland) It is currently
under intense development for a ldquoMaster Planned Communityrdquo and no longer retains any of its
original rural agricultural aspect
The view to the west includes a moderately rolling hill topography (existing associated
farmlands) and Highway 410 A large earth berm sits directly behind (west) of 11098 Dixie
Road The berm and Highway 410 impact the original rural agricultural character of the two
properties
The view to the north includes a very busy Mayfield Road which has been widened from its
original two lane configuration and farmland This view retains a more historical aspect of
farmlands and a mid-Victorian two storey brick residence

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

Photograph 16 Second Floor Windows
Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Return Eaves

Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave

Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as

81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

The structures located on 11098 Dixie Road consist of a 1 and 12 storey wood frame house with
additions and five outbuildings (2 barns a shed and another outbuilding) The residence at
11098 Dixie Road is not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900
(personal communication Mr Gray Sr)
The property does not meet any of the criteria of OHA O Reg 906
The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified
1 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description of its
importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
2 Commemorate the early settlers of this property through use of the family name for street
names

Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education (SJAHCE) was
retained METRUS Development Inc to conduct a Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment for two
properties located in the City of Brampton This report deals with the property on Lot 16
Concession 3 EHS former Township of Chinguacousy Regional Municipality of Peel This
property is located at 11908 Dixie Road (Figures 1 and 2)
The current Official Plan designation of the proposed study area is Industrial There is no
Official Plan Amendment required to redesignate this land for the proposed employment
purposes The current zoning of the subject land is Agricultural (A) Agricultural (A-847) and
Institutional 2 (12) The proposed Zoning of the subject land is a site specific Industrial One
(M1) Zone along with the Floodplain (F) for the valley feature and Stormwater Management
Pond (both distant from the two heritage properties) The Countryside Villages Secondary Plan
(SP48a) designates that land as Prestige Industrial Stormwater Management Facility Wetland

A cultural heritage study was completed in 2008 by Archaeological Services Inc (ASI) of a
larger geographic area which included the study area This report extracts data from the ASI
report pertinent to the two properties including a general historic overview
The purpose of conducting a cultural heritage assessment is to ldquohellipKnow where the heritage value of the historic place lies how it fits physically and functionally in its surroundings and
how it was and is important to its larger community past present and futurerdquo (Parks Canada 20034)
Additional research and field visits were conducted by Scarlett Janusas BA MA of SJAHCE
and Mr David Eckler AREA Architects with permission of Metrus Development Inc
Curriculum vitaes of key personnel are presented in the appendices

heritage landscape Potential impacts to the property will be examined based on the proposed
plans for subdivision and discuss any proposed mitigation measures by the proponent The
results of the cultural heritage impact assessment provides a description of the historical context
of the area the property itself an evaluation of significant cultural features and
recommendations for adaptive reuse or alternative recommendations

20 HISTORIC SUMMARY
The following historic summary is taken from the ASI (200813-14) cultural heritage assessment
of a larger geographic area as pertinent to the property
ldquoPart of the land which encompasses Chinguacousy Township was alienated by the British from
the native Mississaugas through a provisional treaty dated October 28 1818 (Indian Treaties
189119 p47)
The township is said to have been named by Sir Peregrine Maitland after the Mississauga word
for the Credit River and which signified ldquoyoung pinerdquo Other scholars assert that it was named in honour of the Ottawa Chief Shinguacose which was corrupted to the present spelling of
ldquoChinguacousyrdquo under whose leadership Fort Michilimacinac was captured from the Americans
in the War of 1812rdquo (Mika 1977416 Rayburn 199768)
The township was formally surveyed in 1818 and the first ldquolegalrdquo settlers took up their lands later in that same year The extant Survey Diaries indicated that the original timber stands within
the township included oak ash maple beech elm basswood hemlock and pine The survey
crew working in the township in the summer of 1891 suffered under extreme conditionshellip
It was recorded that the first landowners in Chinguacousy were composed of settlers from New
Brunswick the United States and also some United Empire Loyalists and their children (Pope
187765 Mika 1977417 Armstrong 1985142)
Chinguacousy was originally included within the limits of the Home District until 1849 when
the old Upper Canadian Districts were abolished It formed part of the United Counties of York
Ontario and Pell until 1851 when Peel was elevated to independent County status under the
provisions of 14 amp 15 Vic Ch 5 A provisional council for Peel was not established until 1865
and the first official meeting of the Peel County council did not occur until January 1867 In
1974 part of the township was amalgamated with the City of Brampton and the remainder was
annexed to the Town of Caledon (Pope 187759 Mika 1977417-418) Armstrong 1985152
Rayburn 199768)
Due to the small population of the then newly acquired tract Chinguacousy was initially united
with the Gore of Toronto Township for political and administrative purposes In 1821 the
population of the united townships numbered just 412 By 1837 the population of the township
had reached an estimated 1921 The numbers grew from 3721 in 1842 to 7469 in 1851
Thereafter the figures declined to 6897 in 1861 and to 6 129 by 1871 (Walton 183771 Pope
187759)
The township was the largest in Peel County Chinguacousy was described as one of the best
settled townships in the Home District It contained excellent rolling land which was timbered
mainly in hardwood with some pine intermixed Excellent wheat was grown here The township
contained one grist mill and seven saw mills By 1851 this number had increased to two grist
mills and eight sawmills (Smith 184632 Smith 1851279)
5 I 2-11
The principal crops grown in Chinguacousy included wheat oats peas potatoes and turnips It
was estimated that the only township in the province which rivaled Chinguacousy in terms of
wheat production at that time was Whitby Other farm products included maple sugar wool
cheese and butter (Smith 1851279)
In 1877 it was described as a ldquofirst class agricultural township and the farmers as a general thing have been very successful in their undertakings many of them having amassed quite a fortune
The township is noted for its beautiful and substantial farm residences and commodious barns
The farms also are generally in the highest state of cultivation while the grounds in front of the
residences are for the most part tastefully arranged with beautiful flowers and shade trees giving
each place and the country generally a handsome appearance (Pope 187765)
Mayfield This village was described as a ldquosmall settlementrdquo which contained a brick school house store post office blacksmith shop and hotel The hotel was managed by F Archdeken in
1869 The postmaster was William Spiers and the village store was kept by Robert Hiscocks
The population was about 50 inhabitants in 1877 (McEvoy 1869304 Pope 187766)rdquo
The former village of Mayfield is included in the general description because of its influence at
the crossroads of Mayfield Road and Dixie Road
Additional research conducted by SJAHCE provides a synopsis on the economic ups and downs
from circa 1845 to 1910 in former Peel County
In a study of Peel County Canada West general conditions were noted by Gagan (198112) of
the period of the 1850s Gagan wrote
ldquoThe 1850s were ushered in by a series of eventshellipThe Irish famine emigrations of 1847-8 the
advent of responsible government in 1849 the completion of the St Lawrence canal system a
reciprocal trading agreement with the United States of America and an expanding imperial
market for Canadian wheat all contributed in less than a decade (1845-54) to the definition of a
new era in Canadian historyrdquo
By this Gagan infers that the time was ripe for settlement and growth from 1845 to 1854 in the
then County of Peel This prosperous time however was shortlived as the early 1860s brought
ldquocommercial depression (1857-1860) decline in wheat prices (47 in 4 years) a series of
severe crop failures disruption of the American market for Canadian livestock dairy products
cereal and forage cropshellip(ibid13) These processes caused a crisis in the community No longer was there expansion but rather those hardy settlers that could endure became
ldquosurvivorsrdquo Changes in their daily lives included marrying later in life having fewer children no longer having extended families in one household and for many movement out of the
province altogether
By 1870 there was again an economic recovery and stabilization in Peel County and for
approximately 40 years there was what could be coined as a relative respite from hard times
Former agricultural reliance on wheat as a crop moved to a more mixed farming community
6 I 2-12
Those individuals who settled in the area in the 1840s and 1850s and weathered through the
difficult late 1850s and 1860s are examples of the strength and ingenuity of Peel‟s early settlers
21 Individual Property History
The following history of Lot 17 east half Concession 3 (EHS) are taken from ASI (200814-17)
as they pertain to the three properties investigated in this report
211 East Half of Lot 17 Concession 3 (EHS)
The earliest patent plan showed that the east half of this was in possession of James Townly or
Townley during the 1820s and 1830s (Sherwood 182) Townley (ca 1789-1830) was a native
of England who arrived in York Upper Canada on September 3 1819 He submitted his petition
for land as a settler on the following day This document described him as a farmer from Catton
Lancashire England while other records stated that he was a native of Yorkshire His wife Ann
(1785-1865) was a native of Whitehaven Cumberland England His settlement duties for this
land had been completed by the end of October 1824 This meant that he had cleared and fenced
part of his acreage constructed a permanent dwelling house at least 16 x 20 feet in size and had
cleared one-half of the road allowance in front of his farm His patent fees were paid by the third
week of November in the same year (Upper Canada Land Petition T1281) Township Papers pp
455-457 Perkins Bull pp 68912-68918)

Evidence shows that this lot was in the possession of Thomas Archdekin and Fenton Lawler in
1837 (Walton 183767 69) Unfortunately this early Directory is not specific as to the amount
of land held by each man which part of the lot they held and whether they owned or simply
occupied it as tenants
One of the early assessment rolls for the township showed that this lot was occupied by Thomas
Archdekin and Isaac Bailey in 1844 Bailey was partially assessed upon the value of his
livestock which consisted of horses milch cows and an ox Archdekin owned horses a milch
cow and other ldquohornedrdquo cattle (Assessment roll 1844)
The east half of the lot was patented by James Townley on November 24 1824 It was sold to
Maurice Hearn approximately three weeks later for pound25 Subsequent owners included Lawler
Fenton (1827) and Thomas Ingoldsby (1854) A small half acre parcel was sold to Thomas
Archdekin in February 1835 (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoArdquo p 81) The 1871 census indicates that Archdekin (b 1816) was a hotel keeper on this land and the 1859 Tremaine map
showed a hotel at the most northerly angle of the lot in the village of Mayfield The Archdekin
household consisted of his wife Martha (b 1812) and a 16 year old servant named Henry
Connington He was a native of Ireland and a member of the Church of England Archdekin
grew potatoes and apples on his land (1871 Census division d-2 p14 5) This small parcel
passed through the hands of several owners until it was acquired by Joseph Peter McGurk in
April 1903 The balance of the lot remained in the possession of the Ingoldsby family until after
7 I 2-13the turn of the twentieth century By February 1905 it was in the hands of Thomas and
Thaddeus Ingoldsby (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoBrdquo p 140) The 1877 Atlas showed that this corner of the lot contained an inn as well as a house barn and orchardsrdquo
Appendix B presents the abstract index for the property Land registry records are principally
records for the transference and amounts paid for said transference of lands
Structures are indicated on this lot in the area of the inn (not the extant structure of this study) on
the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting early settlement in the area The same structure and the
extant structure of this study area are indicated on the 1877 Illustrated Historic Atlas map The
1877 map indicates ownership by Thomas Ingoldsby and the abstract index suggests that he
owned that portion of the property in 1854 It can be assumed that he built the structure
sometime between 1854 and 1877 Early settlement structures did not tend to be substantial so
the presence of a field stone house situated near the crossroads of Mayfield is a direct reflection
of status and wealth of the early owners
Instrument No 55739 is the probate of the last will and testament of George Gray identified as
a yeoman The instrument number is January 12 1909 however the will actually dated August th
30 1908 Fifty acres of land from Lot 16 Concession 3 EHS was bequeathed to his son
Joseph Gray and the remainder was bequeathed equally to the remaining sons and daughters
without specifying amounts or what the assets actually entailed
There were no structures indicated on this lot in the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting the family
had a homestead on other lands However by 1877 the Illustrated Historic Atlas does depict
structures which suggests that the extant house dates sometime between 1860 and 1877

Mr Jim Leonard City of Brampton Heritage was informed of the cultural heritage impact
assessment of the property in March 2010 Mr Leonard provided additional information with
respect to the property (see below)
31 11098 Dixie Rd ndash Category B
The heritage portion of the subject property comprises the farmhouse immediate frontage tree
lines and groupings in the generally vicinity surrounding the farmhouse along with nearby barn
complex and laneways
The property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or
interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside
Villages)
The subject property exhibits cultural heritage value as a cultural heritage landscape It
comprises a vernacular Ontario farmhouse exhibiting simple GeorgianLoyalist proportions
This landscape comprises four structures - two barns a shed and a farmhouse The house is a 1
and a half storey side gabled structure with a metal clad roof and likely sitting on a fieldstone
foundation The front facade is adorned with an original verandah that is supported by wood
posts Original wood window and door openings appear intact The exterior is currently clad
with synthetic siding
The barns feature metal clad gable roof lines and vertical plank wood exteriors
The shed is metal clad and has a metal exterior
Also of note on the property are the existing front yard setback groupings of mature trees and
other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouse
Rare and representative example of a vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist
design influences dating to the mid 19th century barn and shed complex associated with
Bramptons and Chinguacousy settlement history history of agriculture trees setbacks and other
property characteristics help define the area

40 PROCESS amp POLICIES FOR HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
(HIA)
41 Applicable Heritage Policies
The conservation of cultural heritage properties is governed at the provincial level by the Ontario
Heritage Act RSO 1990 with amendments up to 2006 (OHA) (Government of Ontario 2006)
and Section 26 Cultural Heritage and Archaeology of the Provincial Policy Statement of the
Planning Act 2005 (PPS) The PPS Policy 263 is a recent policy which incorporated a
requirement for an impact assessment on adjacent heritage resources
ldquoDevelopment and site alteration may be permitted on adjacent lands to protected heritage property where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been
demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conservedrdquo
These two provincial pieces of legislation the OHA and PPS have been incorporated into the
heritage policies of the City of Brampton But the PPS regulation does not specifically apply to
these properties since they have not been designated under the OHA and hence by definition is
not a ldquoprotected heritage propertyrdquo under this legislation
Instead the applicable municipal legislation governing these properties would be the Brampton
Official Plan 1993 which establishes the requirement of an HIA as follows
49210 The City may request the preparation of a heritage impact statement when any conduction development or property alteration might adversely affect [sic] a listed or designated property or a property adjacent to such a property
The format and content of the HIA are described in the Ministry of Culture Ontario Heritage
Tool Kit (Ontario Ministry of Culture 2006) and also analogous to the provincial standards in
the City‟s Guidelines for Preparing Heritage Impact Assessment (Leonard 2008) These content
requirements are incorporated into the sections below except for some changes to section titles
for relevance to the subject properties and project
42 Process for Determining Heritage Value
Each property listed on the City‟s Heritage Inventory is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria
(Government of Ontario 2006) and in the case of Brampton further developed with a specific
municipal scoring system Brampton‟s Criteria of Heritage Value (Leonard 2007) The
provincial criteria categories will be used in section 7 titled ldquoHeritage Inventory amp Evaluation of Heritage Elementsrdquo to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject properties
Each property listed on the Town‟s Heritage Register is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value (Government of Ontario 2006) The provincial criteria
12 I 2-18categories will be used in the subsequent sections of this report to evaluate the heritage
significance of the subject properties according to Table 1
Table 1 Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value
OHA O Reg 906 Categories
OHA Criteria for Heritage Value
Design or Physical Value
The property has design value or physical value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit or Demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement
Historical or Associative Value
The property has historical value or associative value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Yields or has the potential to yield information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture or Demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect artists builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
Contextual Value The property has contextual value because it Is important in defining maintaining or supporting the character of an area Is physically functionally visually or historically linked to its surroundings or Is a landmark
13 I 2-19
50 ASSESSMENT OF PRINCIPAL BUILDING COMPONENTS
The property was identified by ASI (2008) during the cultural heritage assessment of a larger
geographic area The property was recommended for additional heritage evaluation The
property is presented below (Figure 5) as described by ASI during the field season of 2007 and
from the 2008 report (200860 64-65)
None of the interiors of any of the property formed part of the cultural heritage assessment
conducted by ASI
51 Surrounding Areas
SJAHCE and AREA Architects conducted a field visit of the exterior and interior of both
properties on March 1st 2010 The study area was bounded to the east by Dixie Road to the
north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 and to the south by Countryside Road A
dewatering program was underway along Dixie Road during the field visit The view to the east
remained relatively unchanged by ldquomodernrdquo development consisting of an old school building
with a date stone of 1872 [now demolished] located at the northeast corner of Dixie and
Countryside Roads In addition there were two residences (11623 and 11575 Dixie Road) which
were considered to date between the 1950s and 1960s There was also a farm complex located at
1115 Dixie Road known as Grey Haven Farms
The view to the south is very disruptive to the original historic view (farmland) It is currently
under intense development for a ldquoMaster Planned Communityrdquo and no longer retains any of its
original rural agricultural aspect
The view to the west includes a moderately rolling hill topography (existing associated
farmlands) and Highway 410 A large earth berm sits directly behind (west) of 11098 Dixie
Road The berm and Highway 410 impact the original rural agricultural character of the two
properties
The view to the north includes a very busy Mayfield Road which has been widened from its
original two lane configuration and farmland This view retains a more historical aspect of
farmlands and a mid-Victorian two storey brick residence

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

29 I 2-35
Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

There is a small metal clad garage located at the end of the driveway that sits southwest of the
residence Photograph 26 illustrates the garage

There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure
44
I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

Executive Summary
Scarlett Janusas Archaeological amp Heritage Consulting amp Education (SJACHE) was retained by
Metrus Developments to conduct a cultural heritage impact assessment on two properties in the
proposed Employment Block (subdivision) located at 11098 Dixie Road in the City of
Brampton This property had been identified as exhibiting potential according to the City of
Brampton Heritage Guidelines by Archaeological Services Inc in 2008 as part of a larger
cultural heritage assessment
This property lies within the proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo subdivision bordered by Highway 410 Mayfield Road Dixie Road and Countryside Road in the City of Brampton
The cultural heritage impact assessment of these properties included a field visit archival
research and architectural evaluation
The original historic landscape of the area is rural agricultural The property located at 11098
Dixie Road has been subject to recent modifications to the landscape (dewatering along Dixie
Road in ground pool large construction berm to immediate west of property) to diminish the
historic landscape
The structures located on 11098 Dixie Road consist of a 1 and 12 storey wood frame house with
additions and five outbuildings (2 barns a shed and another outbuilding) The residence at
11098 Dixie Road is not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900
(personal communication Mr Gray Sr)
The property does not meet any of the criteria of OHA O Reg 906
The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified
1 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description of its
importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
2 Commemorate the early settlers of this property through use of the family name for street
names

20 HISTORIC SUMMARY
The following historic summary is taken from the ASI (200813-14) cultural heritage assessment
of a larger geographic area as pertinent to the property
ldquoPart of the land which encompasses Chinguacousy Township was alienated by the British from
the native Mississaugas through a provisional treaty dated October 28 1818 (Indian Treaties
189119 p47)
The township is said to have been named by Sir Peregrine Maitland after the Mississauga word
for the Credit River and which signified ldquoyoung pinerdquo Other scholars assert that it was named in honour of the Ottawa Chief Shinguacose which was corrupted to the present spelling of
ldquoChinguacousyrdquo under whose leadership Fort Michilimacinac was captured from the Americans
in the War of 1812rdquo (Mika 1977416 Rayburn 199768)
The township was formally surveyed in 1818 and the first ldquolegalrdquo settlers took up their lands later in that same year The extant Survey Diaries indicated that the original timber stands within
the township included oak ash maple beech elm basswood hemlock and pine The survey
crew working in the township in the summer of 1891 suffered under extreme conditionshellip
It was recorded that the first landowners in Chinguacousy were composed of settlers from New
Brunswick the United States and also some United Empire Loyalists and their children (Pope
187765 Mika 1977417 Armstrong 1985142)
Chinguacousy was originally included within the limits of the Home District until 1849 when
the old Upper Canadian Districts were abolished It formed part of the United Counties of York
Ontario and Pell until 1851 when Peel was elevated to independent County status under the
provisions of 14 amp 15 Vic Ch 5 A provisional council for Peel was not established until 1865
and the first official meeting of the Peel County council did not occur until January 1867 In
1974 part of the township was amalgamated with the City of Brampton and the remainder was
annexed to the Town of Caledon (Pope 187759 Mika 1977417-418) Armstrong 1985152
Rayburn 199768)
Due to the small population of the then newly acquired tract Chinguacousy was initially united
with the Gore of Toronto Township for political and administrative purposes In 1821 the
population of the united townships numbered just 412 By 1837 the population of the township
had reached an estimated 1921 The numbers grew from 3721 in 1842 to 7469 in 1851
Thereafter the figures declined to 6897 in 1861 and to 6 129 by 1871 (Walton 183771 Pope
187759)
The township was the largest in Peel County Chinguacousy was described as one of the best
settled townships in the Home District It contained excellent rolling land which was timbered
mainly in hardwood with some pine intermixed Excellent wheat was grown here The township
contained one grist mill and seven saw mills By 1851 this number had increased to two grist
mills and eight sawmills (Smith 184632 Smith 1851279)
5 I 2-11
The principal crops grown in Chinguacousy included wheat oats peas potatoes and turnips It
was estimated that the only township in the province which rivaled Chinguacousy in terms of
wheat production at that time was Whitby Other farm products included maple sugar wool
cheese and butter (Smith 1851279)
In 1877 it was described as a ldquofirst class agricultural township and the farmers as a general thing have been very successful in their undertakings many of them having amassed quite a fortune
The township is noted for its beautiful and substantial farm residences and commodious barns
The farms also are generally in the highest state of cultivation while the grounds in front of the
residences are for the most part tastefully arranged with beautiful flowers and shade trees giving
each place and the country generally a handsome appearance (Pope 187765)
Mayfield This village was described as a ldquosmall settlementrdquo which contained a brick school house store post office blacksmith shop and hotel The hotel was managed by F Archdeken in
1869 The postmaster was William Spiers and the village store was kept by Robert Hiscocks
The population was about 50 inhabitants in 1877 (McEvoy 1869304 Pope 187766)rdquo
The former village of Mayfield is included in the general description because of its influence at
the crossroads of Mayfield Road and Dixie Road
Additional research conducted by SJAHCE provides a synopsis on the economic ups and downs
from circa 1845 to 1910 in former Peel County
In a study of Peel County Canada West general conditions were noted by Gagan (198112) of
the period of the 1850s Gagan wrote
ldquoThe 1850s were ushered in by a series of eventshellipThe Irish famine emigrations of 1847-8 the
advent of responsible government in 1849 the completion of the St Lawrence canal system a
reciprocal trading agreement with the United States of America and an expanding imperial
market for Canadian wheat all contributed in less than a decade (1845-54) to the definition of a
new era in Canadian historyrdquo
By this Gagan infers that the time was ripe for settlement and growth from 1845 to 1854 in the
then County of Peel This prosperous time however was shortlived as the early 1860s brought
ldquocommercial depression (1857-1860) decline in wheat prices (47 in 4 years) a series of
severe crop failures disruption of the American market for Canadian livestock dairy products
cereal and forage cropshellip(ibid13) These processes caused a crisis in the community No longer was there expansion but rather those hardy settlers that could endure became
ldquosurvivorsrdquo Changes in their daily lives included marrying later in life having fewer children no longer having extended families in one household and for many movement out of the
province altogether
By 1870 there was again an economic recovery and stabilization in Peel County and for
approximately 40 years there was what could be coined as a relative respite from hard times
Former agricultural reliance on wheat as a crop moved to a more mixed farming community
6 I 2-12
Those individuals who settled in the area in the 1840s and 1850s and weathered through the
difficult late 1850s and 1860s are examples of the strength and ingenuity of Peel‟s early settlers
21 Individual Property History
The following history of Lot 17 east half Concession 3 (EHS) are taken from ASI (200814-17)
as they pertain to the three properties investigated in this report
211 East Half of Lot 17 Concession 3 (EHS)
The earliest patent plan showed that the east half of this was in possession of James Townly or
Townley during the 1820s and 1830s (Sherwood 182) Townley (ca 1789-1830) was a native
of England who arrived in York Upper Canada on September 3 1819 He submitted his petition
for land as a settler on the following day This document described him as a farmer from Catton
Lancashire England while other records stated that he was a native of Yorkshire His wife Ann
(1785-1865) was a native of Whitehaven Cumberland England His settlement duties for this
land had been completed by the end of October 1824 This meant that he had cleared and fenced
part of his acreage constructed a permanent dwelling house at least 16 x 20 feet in size and had
cleared one-half of the road allowance in front of his farm His patent fees were paid by the third
week of November in the same year (Upper Canada Land Petition T1281) Township Papers pp
455-457 Perkins Bull pp 68912-68918)

Evidence shows that this lot was in the possession of Thomas Archdekin and Fenton Lawler in
1837 (Walton 183767 69) Unfortunately this early Directory is not specific as to the amount
of land held by each man which part of the lot they held and whether they owned or simply
occupied it as tenants
One of the early assessment rolls for the township showed that this lot was occupied by Thomas
Archdekin and Isaac Bailey in 1844 Bailey was partially assessed upon the value of his
livestock which consisted of horses milch cows and an ox Archdekin owned horses a milch
cow and other ldquohornedrdquo cattle (Assessment roll 1844)
The east half of the lot was patented by James Townley on November 24 1824 It was sold to
Maurice Hearn approximately three weeks later for pound25 Subsequent owners included Lawler
Fenton (1827) and Thomas Ingoldsby (1854) A small half acre parcel was sold to Thomas
Archdekin in February 1835 (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoArdquo p 81) The 1871 census indicates that Archdekin (b 1816) was a hotel keeper on this land and the 1859 Tremaine map
showed a hotel at the most northerly angle of the lot in the village of Mayfield The Archdekin
household consisted of his wife Martha (b 1812) and a 16 year old servant named Henry
Connington He was a native of Ireland and a member of the Church of England Archdekin
grew potatoes and apples on his land (1871 Census division d-2 p14 5) This small parcel
passed through the hands of several owners until it was acquired by Joseph Peter McGurk in
April 1903 The balance of the lot remained in the possession of the Ingoldsby family until after
7 I 2-13the turn of the twentieth century By February 1905 it was in the hands of Thomas and
Thaddeus Ingoldsby (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoBrdquo p 140) The 1877 Atlas showed that this corner of the lot contained an inn as well as a house barn and orchardsrdquo
Appendix B presents the abstract index for the property Land registry records are principally
records for the transference and amounts paid for said transference of lands
Structures are indicated on this lot in the area of the inn (not the extant structure of this study) on
the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting early settlement in the area The same structure and the
extant structure of this study area are indicated on the 1877 Illustrated Historic Atlas map The
1877 map indicates ownership by Thomas Ingoldsby and the abstract index suggests that he
owned that portion of the property in 1854 It can be assumed that he built the structure
sometime between 1854 and 1877 Early settlement structures did not tend to be substantial so
the presence of a field stone house situated near the crossroads of Mayfield is a direct reflection
of status and wealth of the early owners
Instrument No 55739 is the probate of the last will and testament of George Gray identified as
a yeoman The instrument number is January 12 1909 however the will actually dated August th
30 1908 Fifty acres of land from Lot 16 Concession 3 EHS was bequeathed to his son
Joseph Gray and the remainder was bequeathed equally to the remaining sons and daughters
without specifying amounts or what the assets actually entailed
There were no structures indicated on this lot in the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting the family
had a homestead on other lands However by 1877 the Illustrated Historic Atlas does depict
structures which suggests that the extant house dates sometime between 1860 and 1877

40 PROCESS amp POLICIES FOR HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
(HIA)
41 Applicable Heritage Policies
The conservation of cultural heritage properties is governed at the provincial level by the Ontario
Heritage Act RSO 1990 with amendments up to 2006 (OHA) (Government of Ontario 2006)
and Section 26 Cultural Heritage and Archaeology of the Provincial Policy Statement of the
Planning Act 2005 (PPS) The PPS Policy 263 is a recent policy which incorporated a
requirement for an impact assessment on adjacent heritage resources
ldquoDevelopment and site alteration may be permitted on adjacent lands to protected heritage property where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been
demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conservedrdquo
These two provincial pieces of legislation the OHA and PPS have been incorporated into the
heritage policies of the City of Brampton But the PPS regulation does not specifically apply to
these properties since they have not been designated under the OHA and hence by definition is
not a ldquoprotected heritage propertyrdquo under this legislation
Instead the applicable municipal legislation governing these properties would be the Brampton
Official Plan 1993 which establishes the requirement of an HIA as follows
49210 The City may request the preparation of a heritage impact statement when any conduction development or property alteration might adversely affect [sic] a listed or designated property or a property adjacent to such a property
The format and content of the HIA are described in the Ministry of Culture Ontario Heritage
Tool Kit (Ontario Ministry of Culture 2006) and also analogous to the provincial standards in
the City‟s Guidelines for Preparing Heritage Impact Assessment (Leonard 2008) These content
requirements are incorporated into the sections below except for some changes to section titles
for relevance to the subject properties and project
42 Process for Determining Heritage Value
Each property listed on the City‟s Heritage Inventory is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria
(Government of Ontario 2006) and in the case of Brampton further developed with a specific
municipal scoring system Brampton‟s Criteria of Heritage Value (Leonard 2007) The
provincial criteria categories will be used in section 7 titled ldquoHeritage Inventory amp Evaluation of Heritage Elementsrdquo to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject properties
Each property listed on the Town‟s Heritage Register is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value (Government of Ontario 2006) The provincial criteria
12 I 2-18categories will be used in the subsequent sections of this report to evaluate the heritage
significance of the subject properties according to Table 1
Table 1 Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value
OHA O Reg 906 Categories
OHA Criteria for Heritage Value
Design or Physical Value
The property has design value or physical value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit or Demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement
Historical or Associative Value
The property has historical value or associative value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Yields or has the potential to yield information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture or Demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect artists builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
Contextual Value The property has contextual value because it Is important in defining maintaining or supporting the character of an area Is physically functionally visually or historically linked to its surroundings or Is a landmark
13 I 2-19
50 ASSESSMENT OF PRINCIPAL BUILDING COMPONENTS
The property was identified by ASI (2008) during the cultural heritage assessment of a larger
geographic area The property was recommended for additional heritage evaluation The
property is presented below (Figure 5) as described by ASI during the field season of 2007 and
from the 2008 report (200860 64-65)
None of the interiors of any of the property formed part of the cultural heritage assessment
conducted by ASI
51 Surrounding Areas
SJAHCE and AREA Architects conducted a field visit of the exterior and interior of both
properties on March 1st 2010 The study area was bounded to the east by Dixie Road to the
north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 and to the south by Countryside Road A
dewatering program was underway along Dixie Road during the field visit The view to the east
remained relatively unchanged by ldquomodernrdquo development consisting of an old school building
with a date stone of 1872 [now demolished] located at the northeast corner of Dixie and
Countryside Roads In addition there were two residences (11623 and 11575 Dixie Road) which
were considered to date between the 1950s and 1960s There was also a farm complex located at
1115 Dixie Road known as Grey Haven Farms
The view to the south is very disruptive to the original historic view (farmland) It is currently
under intense development for a ldquoMaster Planned Communityrdquo and no longer retains any of its
original rural agricultural aspect
The view to the west includes a moderately rolling hill topography (existing associated
farmlands) and Highway 410 A large earth berm sits directly behind (west) of 11098 Dixie
Road The berm and Highway 410 impact the original rural agricultural character of the two
properties
The view to the north includes a very busy Mayfield Road which has been widened from its
original two lane configuration and farmland This view retains a more historical aspect of
farmlands and a mid-Victorian two storey brick residence

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

Photograph 16 Second Floor Windows
Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Return Eaves

Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave
Photograph 20 Verandah

Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo

41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education (SJAHCE) was
retained METRUS Development Inc to conduct a Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment for two
properties located in the City of Brampton This report deals with the property on Lot 16
Concession 3 EHS former Township of Chinguacousy Regional Municipality of Peel This
property is located at 11908 Dixie Road (Figures 1 and 2)
The current Official Plan designation of the proposed study area is Industrial There is no
Official Plan Amendment required to redesignate this land for the proposed employment
purposes The current zoning of the subject land is Agricultural (A) Agricultural (A-847) and
Institutional 2 (12) The proposed Zoning of the subject land is a site specific Industrial One
(M1) Zone along with the Floodplain (F) for the valley feature and Stormwater Management
Pond (both distant from the two heritage properties) The Countryside Villages Secondary Plan
(SP48a) designates that land as Prestige Industrial Stormwater Management Facility Wetland
Terrestrial Features and Valleyland (MacKinnon 2010)

A cultural heritage study was completed in 2008 by Archaeological Services Inc (ASI) of a
larger geographic area which included the study area This report extracts data from the ASI
report pertinent to the two properties including a general historic overview
The purpose of conducting a cultural heritage assessment is to ldquohellipKnow where the heritage value of the historic place lies how it fits physically and functionally in its surroundings and
how it was and is important to its larger community past present and futurerdquo (Parks Canada 20034)
Additional research and field visits were conducted by Scarlett Janusas BA MA of SJAHCE
and Mr David Eckler AREA Architects with permission of Metrus Development Inc
Curriculum vitaes of key personnel are presented in the appendices

heritage landscape Potential impacts to the property will be examined based on the proposed
plans for subdivision and discuss any proposed mitigation measures by the proponent The
results of the cultural heritage impact assessment provides a description of the historical context
of the area the property itself an evaluation of significant cultural features and
recommendations for adaptive reuse or alternative recommendations

20 HISTORIC SUMMARY
The following historic summary is taken from the ASI (200813-14) cultural heritage assessment
of a larger geographic area as pertinent to the property
ldquoPart of the land which encompasses Chinguacousy Township was alienated by the British from
the native Mississaugas through a provisional treaty dated October 28 1818 (Indian Treaties
189119 p47)
The township is said to have been named by Sir Peregrine Maitland after the Mississauga word
for the Credit River and which signified ldquoyoung pinerdquo Other scholars assert that it was named in honour of the Ottawa Chief Shinguacose which was corrupted to the present spelling of
ldquoChinguacousyrdquo under whose leadership Fort Michilimacinac was captured from the Americans
in the War of 1812rdquo (Mika 1977416 Rayburn 199768)
The township was formally surveyed in 1818 and the first ldquolegalrdquo settlers took up their lands later in that same year The extant Survey Diaries indicated that the original timber stands within
the township included oak ash maple beech elm basswood hemlock and pine The survey
crew working in the township in the summer of 1891 suffered under extreme conditionshellip
It was recorded that the first landowners in Chinguacousy were composed of settlers from New
Brunswick the United States and also some United Empire Loyalists and their children (Pope
187765 Mika 1977417 Armstrong 1985142)
Chinguacousy was originally included within the limits of the Home District until 1849 when
the old Upper Canadian Districts were abolished It formed part of the United Counties of York
Ontario and Pell until 1851 when Peel was elevated to independent County status under the
provisions of 14 amp 15 Vic Ch 5 A provisional council for Peel was not established until 1865
and the first official meeting of the Peel County council did not occur until January 1867 In
1974 part of the township was amalgamated with the City of Brampton and the remainder was
annexed to the Town of Caledon (Pope 187759 Mika 1977417-418) Armstrong 1985152
Rayburn 199768)
Due to the small population of the then newly acquired tract Chinguacousy was initially united
with the Gore of Toronto Township for political and administrative purposes In 1821 the
population of the united townships numbered just 412 By 1837 the population of the township
had reached an estimated 1921 The numbers grew from 3721 in 1842 to 7469 in 1851
Thereafter the figures declined to 6897 in 1861 and to 6 129 by 1871 (Walton 183771 Pope
187759)
The township was the largest in Peel County Chinguacousy was described as one of the best
settled townships in the Home District It contained excellent rolling land which was timbered
mainly in hardwood with some pine intermixed Excellent wheat was grown here The township
contained one grist mill and seven saw mills By 1851 this number had increased to two grist
mills and eight sawmills (Smith 184632 Smith 1851279)
5 I 2-11
The principal crops grown in Chinguacousy included wheat oats peas potatoes and turnips It
was estimated that the only township in the province which rivaled Chinguacousy in terms of
wheat production at that time was Whitby Other farm products included maple sugar wool
cheese and butter (Smith 1851279)
In 1877 it was described as a ldquofirst class agricultural township and the farmers as a general thing have been very successful in their undertakings many of them having amassed quite a fortune
The township is noted for its beautiful and substantial farm residences and commodious barns
The farms also are generally in the highest state of cultivation while the grounds in front of the
residences are for the most part tastefully arranged with beautiful flowers and shade trees giving
each place and the country generally a handsome appearance (Pope 187765)
Mayfield This village was described as a ldquosmall settlementrdquo which contained a brick school house store post office blacksmith shop and hotel The hotel was managed by F Archdeken in
1869 The postmaster was William Spiers and the village store was kept by Robert Hiscocks
The population was about 50 inhabitants in 1877 (McEvoy 1869304 Pope 187766)rdquo
The former village of Mayfield is included in the general description because of its influence at
the crossroads of Mayfield Road and Dixie Road
Additional research conducted by SJAHCE provides a synopsis on the economic ups and downs
from circa 1845 to 1910 in former Peel County
In a study of Peel County Canada West general conditions were noted by Gagan (198112) of
the period of the 1850s Gagan wrote
ldquoThe 1850s were ushered in by a series of eventshellipThe Irish famine emigrations of 1847-8 the
advent of responsible government in 1849 the completion of the St Lawrence canal system a
reciprocal trading agreement with the United States of America and an expanding imperial
market for Canadian wheat all contributed in less than a decade (1845-54) to the definition of a
new era in Canadian historyrdquo
By this Gagan infers that the time was ripe for settlement and growth from 1845 to 1854 in the
then County of Peel This prosperous time however was shortlived as the early 1860s brought
ldquocommercial depression (1857-1860) decline in wheat prices (47 in 4 years) a series of
severe crop failures disruption of the American market for Canadian livestock dairy products
cereal and forage cropshellip(ibid13) These processes caused a crisis in the community No longer was there expansion but rather those hardy settlers that could endure became
ldquosurvivorsrdquo Changes in their daily lives included marrying later in life having fewer children no longer having extended families in one household and for many movement out of the
province altogether
By 1870 there was again an economic recovery and stabilization in Peel County and for
approximately 40 years there was what could be coined as a relative respite from hard times
Former agricultural reliance on wheat as a crop moved to a more mixed farming community
6 I 2-12
Those individuals who settled in the area in the 1840s and 1850s and weathered through the
difficult late 1850s and 1860s are examples of the strength and ingenuity of Peel‟s early settlers
21 Individual Property History
The following history of Lot 17 east half Concession 3 (EHS) are taken from ASI (200814-17)
as they pertain to the three properties investigated in this report
211 East Half of Lot 17 Concession 3 (EHS)
The earliest patent plan showed that the east half of this was in possession of James Townly or
Townley during the 1820s and 1830s (Sherwood 182) Townley (ca 1789-1830) was a native
of England who arrived in York Upper Canada on September 3 1819 He submitted his petition
for land as a settler on the following day This document described him as a farmer from Catton
Lancashire England while other records stated that he was a native of Yorkshire His wife Ann
(1785-1865) was a native of Whitehaven Cumberland England His settlement duties for this
land had been completed by the end of October 1824 This meant that he had cleared and fenced
part of his acreage constructed a permanent dwelling house at least 16 x 20 feet in size and had
cleared one-half of the road allowance in front of his farm His patent fees were paid by the third
week of November in the same year (Upper Canada Land Petition T1281) Township Papers pp
455-457 Perkins Bull pp 68912-68918)

Evidence shows that this lot was in the possession of Thomas Archdekin and Fenton Lawler in
1837 (Walton 183767 69) Unfortunately this early Directory is not specific as to the amount
of land held by each man which part of the lot they held and whether they owned or simply
occupied it as tenants
One of the early assessment rolls for the township showed that this lot was occupied by Thomas
Archdekin and Isaac Bailey in 1844 Bailey was partially assessed upon the value of his
livestock which consisted of horses milch cows and an ox Archdekin owned horses a milch
cow and other ldquohornedrdquo cattle (Assessment roll 1844)
The east half of the lot was patented by James Townley on November 24 1824 It was sold to
Maurice Hearn approximately three weeks later for pound25 Subsequent owners included Lawler
Fenton (1827) and Thomas Ingoldsby (1854) A small half acre parcel was sold to Thomas
Archdekin in February 1835 (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoArdquo p 81) The 1871 census indicates that Archdekin (b 1816) was a hotel keeper on this land and the 1859 Tremaine map
showed a hotel at the most northerly angle of the lot in the village of Mayfield The Archdekin
household consisted of his wife Martha (b 1812) and a 16 year old servant named Henry
Connington He was a native of Ireland and a member of the Church of England Archdekin
grew potatoes and apples on his land (1871 Census division d-2 p14 5) This small parcel
passed through the hands of several owners until it was acquired by Joseph Peter McGurk in
April 1903 The balance of the lot remained in the possession of the Ingoldsby family until after
7 I 2-13the turn of the twentieth century By February 1905 it was in the hands of Thomas and
Thaddeus Ingoldsby (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoBrdquo p 140) The 1877 Atlas showed that this corner of the lot contained an inn as well as a house barn and orchardsrdquo
Appendix B presents the abstract index for the property Land registry records are principally
records for the transference and amounts paid for said transference of lands
Structures are indicated on this lot in the area of the inn (not the extant structure of this study) on
the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting early settlement in the area The same structure and the
extant structure of this study area are indicated on the 1877 Illustrated Historic Atlas map The
1877 map indicates ownership by Thomas Ingoldsby and the abstract index suggests that he
owned that portion of the property in 1854 It can be assumed that he built the structure
sometime between 1854 and 1877 Early settlement structures did not tend to be substantial so
the presence of a field stone house situated near the crossroads of Mayfield is a direct reflection
of status and wealth of the early owners
Instrument No 55739 is the probate of the last will and testament of George Gray identified as
a yeoman The instrument number is January 12 1909 however the will actually dated August th
30 1908 Fifty acres of land from Lot 16 Concession 3 EHS was bequeathed to his son
Joseph Gray and the remainder was bequeathed equally to the remaining sons and daughters
without specifying amounts or what the assets actually entailed
There were no structures indicated on this lot in the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting the family
had a homestead on other lands However by 1877 the Illustrated Historic Atlas does depict
structures which suggests that the extant house dates sometime between 1860 and 1877

Mr Jim Leonard City of Brampton Heritage was informed of the cultural heritage impact
assessment of the property in March 2010 Mr Leonard provided additional information with
respect to the property (see below)
31 11098 Dixie Rd ndash Category B
The heritage portion of the subject property comprises the farmhouse immediate frontage tree
lines and groupings in the generally vicinity surrounding the farmhouse along with nearby barn
complex and laneways
The property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or
interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside
Villages)
The subject property exhibits cultural heritage value as a cultural heritage landscape It
comprises a vernacular Ontario farmhouse exhibiting simple GeorgianLoyalist proportions
This landscape comprises four structures - two barns a shed and a farmhouse The house is a 1
and a half storey side gabled structure with a metal clad roof and likely sitting on a fieldstone
foundation The front facade is adorned with an original verandah that is supported by wood
posts Original wood window and door openings appear intact The exterior is currently clad
with synthetic siding
The barns feature metal clad gable roof lines and vertical plank wood exteriors
The shed is metal clad and has a metal exterior
Also of note on the property are the existing front yard setback groupings of mature trees and
other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouse
Rare and representative example of a vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist
design influences dating to the mid 19th century barn and shed complex associated with
Bramptons and Chinguacousy settlement history history of agriculture trees setbacks and other
property characteristics help define the area

40 PROCESS amp POLICIES FOR HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
(HIA)
41 Applicable Heritage Policies
The conservation of cultural heritage properties is governed at the provincial level by the Ontario
Heritage Act RSO 1990 with amendments up to 2006 (OHA) (Government of Ontario 2006)
and Section 26 Cultural Heritage and Archaeology of the Provincial Policy Statement of the
Planning Act 2005 (PPS) The PPS Policy 263 is a recent policy which incorporated a
requirement for an impact assessment on adjacent heritage resources
ldquoDevelopment and site alteration may be permitted on adjacent lands to protected heritage property where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been
demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conservedrdquo
These two provincial pieces of legislation the OHA and PPS have been incorporated into the
heritage policies of the City of Brampton But the PPS regulation does not specifically apply to
these properties since they have not been designated under the OHA and hence by definition is
not a ldquoprotected heritage propertyrdquo under this legislation
Instead the applicable municipal legislation governing these properties would be the Brampton
Official Plan 1993 which establishes the requirement of an HIA as follows
49210 The City may request the preparation of a heritage impact statement when any conduction development or property alteration might adversely affect [sic] a listed or designated property or a property adjacent to such a property
The format and content of the HIA are described in the Ministry of Culture Ontario Heritage
Tool Kit (Ontario Ministry of Culture 2006) and also analogous to the provincial standards in
the City‟s Guidelines for Preparing Heritage Impact Assessment (Leonard 2008) These content
requirements are incorporated into the sections below except for some changes to section titles
for relevance to the subject properties and project
42 Process for Determining Heritage Value
Each property listed on the City‟s Heritage Inventory is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria
(Government of Ontario 2006) and in the case of Brampton further developed with a specific
municipal scoring system Brampton‟s Criteria of Heritage Value (Leonard 2007) The
provincial criteria categories will be used in section 7 titled ldquoHeritage Inventory amp Evaluation of Heritage Elementsrdquo to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject properties
Each property listed on the Town‟s Heritage Register is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value (Government of Ontario 2006) The provincial criteria
12 I 2-18categories will be used in the subsequent sections of this report to evaluate the heritage
significance of the subject properties according to Table 1
Table 1 Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value
OHA O Reg 906 Categories
OHA Criteria for Heritage Value
Design or Physical Value
The property has design value or physical value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit or Demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement
Historical or Associative Value
The property has historical value or associative value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Yields or has the potential to yield information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture or Demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect artists builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
Contextual Value The property has contextual value because it Is important in defining maintaining or supporting the character of an area Is physically functionally visually or historically linked to its surroundings or Is a landmark
13 I 2-19
50 ASSESSMENT OF PRINCIPAL BUILDING COMPONENTS
The property was identified by ASI (2008) during the cultural heritage assessment of a larger
geographic area The property was recommended for additional heritage evaluation The
property is presented below (Figure 5) as described by ASI during the field season of 2007 and
from the 2008 report (200860 64-65)
None of the interiors of any of the property formed part of the cultural heritage assessment
conducted by ASI
51 Surrounding Areas
SJAHCE and AREA Architects conducted a field visit of the exterior and interior of both
properties on March 1st 2010 The study area was bounded to the east by Dixie Road to the
north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 and to the south by Countryside Road A
dewatering program was underway along Dixie Road during the field visit The view to the east
remained relatively unchanged by ldquomodernrdquo development consisting of an old school building
with a date stone of 1872 [now demolished] located at the northeast corner of Dixie and
Countryside Roads In addition there were two residences (11623 and 11575 Dixie Road) which
were considered to date between the 1950s and 1960s There was also a farm complex located at
1115 Dixie Road known as Grey Haven Farms
The view to the south is very disruptive to the original historic view (farmland) It is currently
under intense development for a ldquoMaster Planned Communityrdquo and no longer retains any of its
original rural agricultural aspect
The view to the west includes a moderately rolling hill topography (existing associated
farmlands) and Highway 410 A large earth berm sits directly behind (west) of 11098 Dixie
Road The berm and Highway 410 impact the original rural agricultural character of the two
properties
The view to the north includes a very busy Mayfield Road which has been widened from its
original two lane configuration and farmland This view retains a more historical aspect of
farmlands and a mid-Victorian two storey brick residence

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

29 I 2-35
Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

There is a small metal clad garage located at the end of the driveway that sits southwest of the
residence Photograph 26 illustrates the garage

There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure
44
I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

A cultural heritage study was completed in 2008 by Archaeological Services Inc (ASI) of a
larger geographic area which included the study area This report extracts data from the ASI
report pertinent to the two properties including a general historic overview
The purpose of conducting a cultural heritage assessment is to ldquohellipKnow where the heritage value of the historic place lies how it fits physically and functionally in its surroundings and
how it was and is important to its larger community past present and futurerdquo (Parks Canada 20034)
Additional research and field visits were conducted by Scarlett Janusas BA MA of SJAHCE

20 HISTORIC SUMMARY
The following historic summary is taken from the ASI (200813-14) cultural heritage assessment
of a larger geographic area as pertinent to the property
ldquoPart of the land which encompasses Chinguacousy Township was alienated by the British from
the native Mississaugas through a provisional treaty dated October 28 1818 (Indian Treaties
189119 p47)
The township is said to have been named by Sir Peregrine Maitland after the Mississauga word
for the Credit River and which signified ldquoyoung pinerdquo Other scholars assert that it was named in honour of the Ottawa Chief Shinguacose which was corrupted to the present spelling of
ldquoChinguacousyrdquo under whose leadership Fort Michilimacinac was captured from the Americans
in the War of 1812rdquo (Mika 1977416 Rayburn 199768)
The township was formally surveyed in 1818 and the first ldquolegalrdquo settlers took up their lands later in that same year The extant Survey Diaries indicated that the original timber stands within
the township included oak ash maple beech elm basswood hemlock and pine The survey
crew working in the township in the summer of 1891 suffered under extreme conditionshellip
It was recorded that the first landowners in Chinguacousy were composed of settlers from New
Brunswick the United States and also some United Empire Loyalists and their children (Pope
187765 Mika 1977417 Armstrong 1985142)
Chinguacousy was originally included within the limits of the Home District until 1849 when
the old Upper Canadian Districts were abolished It formed part of the United Counties of York
Ontario and Pell until 1851 when Peel was elevated to independent County status under the
provisions of 14 amp 15 Vic Ch 5 A provisional council for Peel was not established until 1865
and the first official meeting of the Peel County council did not occur until January 1867 In
1974 part of the township was amalgamated with the City of Brampton and the remainder was
annexed to the Town of Caledon (Pope 187759 Mika 1977417-418) Armstrong 1985152
Rayburn 199768)
Due to the small population of the then newly acquired tract Chinguacousy was initially united
with the Gore of Toronto Township for political and administrative purposes In 1821 the
population of the united townships numbered just 412 By 1837 the population of the township
had reached an estimated 1921 The numbers grew from 3721 in 1842 to 7469 in 1851
Thereafter the figures declined to 6897 in 1861 and to 6 129 by 1871 (Walton 183771 Pope
187759)
The township was the largest in Peel County Chinguacousy was described as one of the best
settled townships in the Home District It contained excellent rolling land which was timbered
mainly in hardwood with some pine intermixed Excellent wheat was grown here The township
contained one grist mill and seven saw mills By 1851 this number had increased to two grist
mills and eight sawmills (Smith 184632 Smith 1851279)
5 I 2-11
The principal crops grown in Chinguacousy included wheat oats peas potatoes and turnips It
was estimated that the only township in the province which rivaled Chinguacousy in terms of
wheat production at that time was Whitby Other farm products included maple sugar wool
cheese and butter (Smith 1851279)
In 1877 it was described as a ldquofirst class agricultural township and the farmers as a general thing have been very successful in their undertakings many of them having amassed quite a fortune
The township is noted for its beautiful and substantial farm residences and commodious barns
The farms also are generally in the highest state of cultivation while the grounds in front of the
residences are for the most part tastefully arranged with beautiful flowers and shade trees giving
each place and the country generally a handsome appearance (Pope 187765)
Mayfield This village was described as a ldquosmall settlementrdquo which contained a brick school house store post office blacksmith shop and hotel The hotel was managed by F Archdeken in
1869 The postmaster was William Spiers and the village store was kept by Robert Hiscocks
The population was about 50 inhabitants in 1877 (McEvoy 1869304 Pope 187766)rdquo
The former village of Mayfield is included in the general description because of its influence at
the crossroads of Mayfield Road and Dixie Road
Additional research conducted by SJAHCE provides a synopsis on the economic ups and downs
from circa 1845 to 1910 in former Peel County
In a study of Peel County Canada West general conditions were noted by Gagan (198112) of
the period of the 1850s Gagan wrote
ldquoThe 1850s were ushered in by a series of eventshellipThe Irish famine emigrations of 1847-8 the
advent of responsible government in 1849 the completion of the St Lawrence canal system a
reciprocal trading agreement with the United States of America and an expanding imperial
market for Canadian wheat all contributed in less than a decade (1845-54) to the definition of a
new era in Canadian historyrdquo
By this Gagan infers that the time was ripe for settlement and growth from 1845 to 1854 in the
then County of Peel This prosperous time however was shortlived as the early 1860s brought
ldquocommercial depression (1857-1860) decline in wheat prices (47 in 4 years) a series of
severe crop failures disruption of the American market for Canadian livestock dairy products
cereal and forage cropshellip(ibid13) These processes caused a crisis in the community No longer was there expansion but rather those hardy settlers that could endure became
ldquosurvivorsrdquo Changes in their daily lives included marrying later in life having fewer children no longer having extended families in one household and for many movement out of the
province altogether
By 1870 there was again an economic recovery and stabilization in Peel County and for
approximately 40 years there was what could be coined as a relative respite from hard times
Former agricultural reliance on wheat as a crop moved to a more mixed farming community
6 I 2-12
Those individuals who settled in the area in the 1840s and 1850s and weathered through the
difficult late 1850s and 1860s are examples of the strength and ingenuity of Peel‟s early settlers
21 Individual Property History
The following history of Lot 17 east half Concession 3 (EHS) are taken from ASI (200814-17)
as they pertain to the three properties investigated in this report
211 East Half of Lot 17 Concession 3 (EHS)
The earliest patent plan showed that the east half of this was in possession of James Townly or
Townley during the 1820s and 1830s (Sherwood 182) Townley (ca 1789-1830) was a native
of England who arrived in York Upper Canada on September 3 1819 He submitted his petition
for land as a settler on the following day This document described him as a farmer from Catton
Lancashire England while other records stated that he was a native of Yorkshire His wife Ann
(1785-1865) was a native of Whitehaven Cumberland England His settlement duties for this
land had been completed by the end of October 1824 This meant that he had cleared and fenced
part of his acreage constructed a permanent dwelling house at least 16 x 20 feet in size and had
cleared one-half of the road allowance in front of his farm His patent fees were paid by the third
week of November in the same year (Upper Canada Land Petition T1281) Township Papers pp
455-457 Perkins Bull pp 68912-68918)
hellip
Evidence shows that this lot was in the possession of Thomas Archdekin and Fenton Lawler in
1837 (Walton 183767 69) Unfortunately this early Directory is not specific as to the amount
of land held by each man which part of the lot they held and whether they owned or simply
occupied it as tenants
One of the early assessment rolls for the township showed that this lot was occupied by Thomas
Archdekin and Isaac Bailey in 1844 Bailey was partially assessed upon the value of his
livestock which consisted of horses milch cows and an ox Archdekin owned horses a milch
cow and other ldquohornedrdquo cattle (Assessment roll 1844)
The east half of the lot was patented by James Townley on November 24 1824 It was sold to
Maurice Hearn approximately three weeks later for pound25 Subsequent owners included Lawler
Fenton (1827) and Thomas Ingoldsby (1854) A small half acre parcel was sold to Thomas
Archdekin in February 1835 (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoArdquo p 81) The 1871 census indicates that Archdekin (b 1816) was a hotel keeper on this land and the 1859 Tremaine map
showed a hotel at the most northerly angle of the lot in the village of Mayfield The Archdekin
household consisted of his wife Martha (b 1812) and a 16 year old servant named Henry
Connington He was a native of Ireland and a member of the Church of England Archdekin
grew potatoes and apples on his land (1871 Census division d-2 p14 5) This small parcel
passed through the hands of several owners until it was acquired by Joseph Peter McGurk in
April 1903 The balance of the lot remained in the possession of the Ingoldsby family until after
7 I 2-13the turn of the twentieth century By February 1905 it was in the hands of Thomas and
Thaddeus Ingoldsby (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoBrdquo p 140) The 1877 Atlas showed that this corner of the lot contained an inn as well as a house barn and orchardsrdquo
Appendix B presents the abstract index for the property Land registry records are principally
records for the transference and amounts paid for said transference of lands
Structures are indicated on this lot in the area of the inn (not the extant structure of this study) on
the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting early settlement in the area The same structure and the
extant structure of this study area are indicated on the 1877 Illustrated Historic Atlas map The
1877 map indicates ownership by Thomas Ingoldsby and the abstract index suggests that he
owned that portion of the property in 1854 It can be assumed that he built the structure
sometime between 1854 and 1877 Early settlement structures did not tend to be substantial so
the presence of a field stone house situated near the crossroads of Mayfield is a direct reflection
of status and wealth of the early owners
Instrument No 55739 is the probate of the last will and testament of George Gray identified as
a yeoman The instrument number is January 12 1909 however the will actually dated August th
30 1908 Fifty acres of land from Lot 16 Concession 3 EHS was bequeathed to his son
Joseph Gray and the remainder was bequeathed equally to the remaining sons and daughters
without specifying amounts or what the assets actually entailed
There were no structures indicated on this lot in the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting the family
had a homestead on other lands However by 1877 the Illustrated Historic Atlas does depict
structures which suggests that the extant house dates sometime between 1860 and 1877

40 PROCESS amp POLICIES FOR HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
(HIA)
41 Applicable Heritage Policies
The conservation of cultural heritage properties is governed at the provincial level by the Ontario
Heritage Act RSO 1990 with amendments up to 2006 (OHA) (Government of Ontario 2006)
and Section 26 Cultural Heritage and Archaeology of the Provincial Policy Statement of the
Planning Act 2005 (PPS) The PPS Policy 263 is a recent policy which incorporated a
requirement for an impact assessment on adjacent heritage resources
ldquoDevelopment and site alteration may be permitted on adjacent lands to protected heritage property where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been
demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conservedrdquo
These two provincial pieces of legislation the OHA and PPS have been incorporated into the
heritage policies of the City of Brampton But the PPS regulation does not specifically apply to
these properties since they have not been designated under the OHA and hence by definition is
not a ldquoprotected heritage propertyrdquo under this legislation
Instead the applicable municipal legislation governing these properties would be the Brampton
Official Plan 1993 which establishes the requirement of an HIA as follows
49210 The City may request the preparation of a heritage impact statement when any conduction development or property alteration might adversely affect [sic] a listed or designated property or a property adjacent to such a property
The format and content of the HIA are described in the Ministry of Culture Ontario Heritage
Tool Kit (Ontario Ministry of Culture 2006) and also analogous to the provincial standards in
the City‟s Guidelines for Preparing Heritage Impact Assessment (Leonard 2008) These content
requirements are incorporated into the sections below except for some changes to section titles

Each property listed on the City‟s Heritage Inventory is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria
(Government of Ontario 2006) and in the case of Brampton further developed with a specific
municipal scoring system Brampton‟s Criteria of Heritage Value (Leonard 2007) The
provincial criteria categories will be used in section 7 titled ldquoHeritage Inventory amp Evaluation of Heritage Elementsrdquo to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject properties
Each property listed on the Town‟s Heritage Register is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value (Government of Ontario 2006) The provincial criteria
12 I 2-18categories will be used in the subsequent sections of this report to evaluate the heritage
significance of the subject properties according to Table 1
Table 1 Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value
OHA O Reg 906 Categories
OHA Criteria for Heritage Value
Design or Physical Value
The property has design value or physical value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit or Demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement
Historical or Associative Value
The property has historical value or associative value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Yields or has the potential to yield information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture or Demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect artists builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
Contextual Value The property has contextual value because it Is important in defining maintaining or supporting the character of an area Is physically functionally visually or historically linked to its surroundings or Is a landmark

50 ASSESSMENT OF PRINCIPAL BUILDING COMPONENTS
The property was identified by ASI (2008) during the cultural heritage assessment of a larger
geographic area The property was recommended for additional heritage evaluation The
property is presented below (Figure 5) as described by ASI during the field season of 2007 and
from the 2008 report (200860 64-65)
None of the interiors of any of the property formed part of the cultural heritage assessment
conducted by ASI
51 Surrounding Areas
SJAHCE and AREA Architects conducted a field visit of the exterior and interior of both
properties on March 1st 2010 The study area was bounded to the east by Dixie Road to the
north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 and to the south by Countryside Road A
dewatering program was underway along Dixie Road during the field visit The view to the east
remained relatively unchanged by ldquomodernrdquo development consisting of an old school building
with a date stone of 1872 [now demolished] located at the northeast corner of Dixie and
Countryside Roads In addition there were two residences (11623 and 11575 Dixie Road) which
were considered to date between the 1950s and 1960s There was also a farm complex located at
1115 Dixie Road known as Grey Haven Farms
The view to the south is very disruptive to the original historic view (farmland) It is currently
under intense development for a ldquoMaster Planned Communityrdquo and no longer retains any of its
original rural agricultural aspect
The view to the west includes a moderately rolling hill topography (existing associated
farmlands) and Highway 410 A large earth berm sits directly behind (west) of 11098 Dixie
Road The berm and Highway 410 impact the original rural agricultural character of the two
properties
The view to the north includes a very busy Mayfield Road which has been widened from its
original two lane configuration and farmland This view retains a more historical aspect of
farmlands and a mid-Victorian two storey brick residence

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

Photograph 16 Second Floor Windows
Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Return Eaves

Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave
Photograph 20 Verandah

Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business

11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above

81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie

Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

Draft Plan of Subdivision Identifying Property
A cultural heritage study was completed in 2008 by Archaeological Services Inc (ASI) of a
larger geographic area which included the study area This report extracts data from the ASI
report pertinent to the two properties including a general historic overview
The purpose of conducting a cultural heritage assessment is to ldquohellipKnow where the heritage value of the historic place lies how it fits physically and functionally in its surroundings and
how it was and is important to its larger community past present and futurerdquo (Parks Canada 20034)
Additional research and field visits were conducted by Scarlett Janusas BA MA of SJAHCE
and Mr David Eckler AREA Architects with permission of Metrus Development Inc
Curriculum vitaes of key personnel are presented in the appendices
3 I 2-9This report provides details on the built heritage of this property and its associated cultural
heritage landscape Potential impacts to the property will be examined based on the proposed
plans for subdivision and discuss any proposed mitigation measures by the proponent The
results of the cultural heritage impact assessment provides a description of the historical context
of the area the property itself an evaluation of significant cultural features and
recommendations for adaptive reuse or alternative recommendations

20 HISTORIC SUMMARY
The following historic summary is taken from the ASI (200813-14) cultural heritage assessment
of a larger geographic area as pertinent to the property
ldquoPart of the land which encompasses Chinguacousy Township was alienated by the British from
the native Mississaugas through a provisional treaty dated October 28 1818 (Indian Treaties
189119 p47)
The township is said to have been named by Sir Peregrine Maitland after the Mississauga word
for the Credit River and which signified ldquoyoung pinerdquo Other scholars assert that it was named in honour of the Ottawa Chief Shinguacose which was corrupted to the present spelling of
ldquoChinguacousyrdquo under whose leadership Fort Michilimacinac was captured from the Americans
in the War of 1812rdquo (Mika 1977416 Rayburn 199768)
The township was formally surveyed in 1818 and the first ldquolegalrdquo settlers took up their lands later in that same year The extant Survey Diaries indicated that the original timber stands within
the township included oak ash maple beech elm basswood hemlock and pine The survey
crew working in the township in the summer of 1891 suffered under extreme conditionshellip
It was recorded that the first landowners in Chinguacousy were composed of settlers from New
Brunswick the United States and also some United Empire Loyalists and their children (Pope
187765 Mika 1977417 Armstrong 1985142)
Chinguacousy was originally included within the limits of the Home District until 1849 when
the old Upper Canadian Districts were abolished It formed part of the United Counties of York
Ontario and Pell until 1851 when Peel was elevated to independent County status under the
provisions of 14 amp 15 Vic Ch 5 A provisional council for Peel was not established until 1865
and the first official meeting of the Peel County council did not occur until January 1867 In
1974 part of the township was amalgamated with the City of Brampton and the remainder was
annexed to the Town of Caledon (Pope 187759 Mika 1977417-418) Armstrong 1985152
Rayburn 199768)
Due to the small population of the then newly acquired tract Chinguacousy was initially united
with the Gore of Toronto Township for political and administrative purposes In 1821 the
population of the united townships numbered just 412 By 1837 the population of the township
had reached an estimated 1921 The numbers grew from 3721 in 1842 to 7469 in 1851
Thereafter the figures declined to 6897 in 1861 and to 6 129 by 1871 (Walton 183771 Pope
187759)
The township was the largest in Peel County Chinguacousy was described as one of the best
settled townships in the Home District It contained excellent rolling land which was timbered
mainly in hardwood with some pine intermixed Excellent wheat was grown here The township
contained one grist mill and seven saw mills By 1851 this number had increased to two grist
mills and eight sawmills (Smith 184632 Smith 1851279)
5 I 2-11
The principal crops grown in Chinguacousy included wheat oats peas potatoes and turnips It
was estimated that the only township in the province which rivaled Chinguacousy in terms of
wheat production at that time was Whitby Other farm products included maple sugar wool
cheese and butter (Smith 1851279)
In 1877 it was described as a ldquofirst class agricultural township and the farmers as a general thing have been very successful in their undertakings many of them having amassed quite a fortune
The township is noted for its beautiful and substantial farm residences and commodious barns
The farms also are generally in the highest state of cultivation while the grounds in front of the
residences are for the most part tastefully arranged with beautiful flowers and shade trees giving
each place and the country generally a handsome appearance (Pope 187765)
Mayfield This village was described as a ldquosmall settlementrdquo which contained a brick school house store post office blacksmith shop and hotel The hotel was managed by F Archdeken in
1869 The postmaster was William Spiers and the village store was kept by Robert Hiscocks
The population was about 50 inhabitants in 1877 (McEvoy 1869304 Pope 187766)rdquo
The former village of Mayfield is included in the general description because of its influence at
the crossroads of Mayfield Road and Dixie Road
Additional research conducted by SJAHCE provides a synopsis on the economic ups and downs
from circa 1845 to 1910 in former Peel County
In a study of Peel County Canada West general conditions were noted by Gagan (198112) of
the period of the 1850s Gagan wrote
ldquoThe 1850s were ushered in by a series of eventshellipThe Irish famine emigrations of 1847-8 the
advent of responsible government in 1849 the completion of the St Lawrence canal system a
reciprocal trading agreement with the United States of America and an expanding imperial
market for Canadian wheat all contributed in less than a decade (1845-54) to the definition of a
new era in Canadian historyrdquo
By this Gagan infers that the time was ripe for settlement and growth from 1845 to 1854 in the
then County of Peel This prosperous time however was shortlived as the early 1860s brought
ldquocommercial depression (1857-1860) decline in wheat prices (47 in 4 years) a series of
severe crop failures disruption of the American market for Canadian livestock dairy products
cereal and forage cropshellip(ibid13) These processes caused a crisis in the community No longer was there expansion but rather those hardy settlers that could endure became
ldquosurvivorsrdquo Changes in their daily lives included marrying later in life having fewer children no longer having extended families in one household and for many movement out of the
province altogether
By 1870 there was again an economic recovery and stabilization in Peel County and for
approximately 40 years there was what could be coined as a relative respite from hard times
Former agricultural reliance on wheat as a crop moved to a more mixed farming community
6 I 2-12
Those individuals who settled in the area in the 1840s and 1850s and weathered through the
difficult late 1850s and 1860s are examples of the strength and ingenuity of Peel‟s early settlers
21 Individual Property History
The following history of Lot 17 east half Concession 3 (EHS) are taken from ASI (200814-17)
as they pertain to the three properties investigated in this report
211 East Half of Lot 17 Concession 3 (EHS)
The earliest patent plan showed that the east half of this was in possession of James Townly or
Townley during the 1820s and 1830s (Sherwood 182) Townley (ca 1789-1830) was a native
of England who arrived in York Upper Canada on September 3 1819 He submitted his petition
for land as a settler on the following day This document described him as a farmer from Catton
Lancashire England while other records stated that he was a native of Yorkshire His wife Ann
(1785-1865) was a native of Whitehaven Cumberland England His settlement duties for this
land had been completed by the end of October 1824 This meant that he had cleared and fenced
part of his acreage constructed a permanent dwelling house at least 16 x 20 feet in size and had
cleared one-half of the road allowance in front of his farm His patent fees were paid by the third
week of November in the same year (Upper Canada Land Petition T1281) Township Papers pp
455-457 Perkins Bull pp 68912-68918)
hellip
Evidence shows that this lot was in the possession of Thomas Archdekin and Fenton Lawler in
1837 (Walton 183767 69) Unfortunately this early Directory is not specific as to the amount
of land held by each man which part of the lot they held and whether they owned or simply
occupied it as tenants
One of the early assessment rolls for the township showed that this lot was occupied by Thomas
Archdekin and Isaac Bailey in 1844 Bailey was partially assessed upon the value of his
livestock which consisted of horses milch cows and an ox Archdekin owned horses a milch
cow and other ldquohornedrdquo cattle (Assessment roll 1844)
The east half of the lot was patented by James Townley on November 24 1824 It was sold to
Maurice Hearn approximately three weeks later for pound25 Subsequent owners included Lawler
Fenton (1827) and Thomas Ingoldsby (1854) A small half acre parcel was sold to Thomas
Archdekin in February 1835 (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoArdquo p 81) The 1871 census indicates that Archdekin (b 1816) was a hotel keeper on this land and the 1859 Tremaine map
showed a hotel at the most northerly angle of the lot in the village of Mayfield The Archdekin
household consisted of his wife Martha (b 1812) and a 16 year old servant named Henry
Connington He was a native of Ireland and a member of the Church of England Archdekin
grew potatoes and apples on his land (1871 Census division d-2 p14 5) This small parcel
passed through the hands of several owners until it was acquired by Joseph Peter McGurk in
April 1903 The balance of the lot remained in the possession of the Ingoldsby family until after
7 I 2-13the turn of the twentieth century By February 1905 it was in the hands of Thomas and
Thaddeus Ingoldsby (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoBrdquo p 140) The 1877 Atlas showed that this corner of the lot contained an inn as well as a house barn and orchardsrdquo
Appendix B presents the abstract index for the property Land registry records are principally
records for the transference and amounts paid for said transference of lands
Structures are indicated on this lot in the area of the inn (not the extant structure of this study) on
the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting early settlement in the area The same structure and the
extant structure of this study area are indicated on the 1877 Illustrated Historic Atlas map The
1877 map indicates ownership by Thomas Ingoldsby and the abstract index suggests that he
owned that portion of the property in 1854 It can be assumed that he built the structure
sometime between 1854 and 1877 Early settlement structures did not tend to be substantial so
the presence of a field stone house situated near the crossroads of Mayfield is a direct reflection
of status and wealth of the early owners
Instrument No 55739 is the probate of the last will and testament of George Gray identified as
a yeoman The instrument number is January 12 1909 however the will actually dated August th
30 1908 Fifty acres of land from Lot 16 Concession 3 EHS was bequeathed to his son
Joseph Gray and the remainder was bequeathed equally to the remaining sons and daughters
without specifying amounts or what the assets actually entailed
There were no structures indicated on this lot in the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting the family
had a homestead on other lands However by 1877 the Illustrated Historic Atlas does depict
structures which suggests that the extant house dates sometime between 1860 and 1877

40 PROCESS amp POLICIES FOR HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
(HIA)
41 Applicable Heritage Policies
The conservation of cultural heritage properties is governed at the provincial level by the Ontario
Heritage Act RSO 1990 with amendments up to 2006 (OHA) (Government of Ontario 2006)
and Section 26 Cultural Heritage and Archaeology of the Provincial Policy Statement of the
Planning Act 2005 (PPS) The PPS Policy 263 is a recent policy which incorporated a
requirement for an impact assessment on adjacent heritage resources
ldquoDevelopment and site alteration may be permitted on adjacent lands to protected heritage property where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been
demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conservedrdquo
These two provincial pieces of legislation the OHA and PPS have been incorporated into the
heritage policies of the City of Brampton But the PPS regulation does not specifically apply to
these properties since they have not been designated under the OHA and hence by definition is
not a ldquoprotected heritage propertyrdquo under this legislation
Instead the applicable municipal legislation governing these properties would be the Brampton
Official Plan 1993 which establishes the requirement of an HIA as follows
49210 The City may request the preparation of a heritage impact statement when any conduction development or property alteration might adversely affect [sic] a listed or designated property or a property adjacent to such a property
The format and content of the HIA are described in the Ministry of Culture Ontario Heritage
Tool Kit (Ontario Ministry of Culture 2006) and also analogous to the provincial standards in
the City‟s Guidelines for Preparing Heritage Impact Assessment (Leonard 2008) These content
requirements are incorporated into the sections below except for some changes to section titles
for relevance to the subject properties and project
42 Process for Determining Heritage Value
Each property listed on the City‟s Heritage Inventory is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria
(Government of Ontario 2006) and in the case of Brampton further developed with a specific
municipal scoring system Brampton‟s Criteria of Heritage Value (Leonard 2007) The
provincial criteria categories will be used in section 7 titled ldquoHeritage Inventory amp Evaluation of Heritage Elementsrdquo to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject properties
Each property listed on the Town‟s Heritage Register is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value (Government of Ontario 2006) The provincial criteria
12 I 2-18categories will be used in the subsequent sections of this report to evaluate the heritage
significance of the subject properties according to Table 1
Table 1 Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value
OHA O Reg 906 Categories
OHA Criteria for Heritage Value
Design or Physical Value
The property has design value or physical value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit or Demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement
Historical or Associative Value
The property has historical value or associative value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Yields or has the potential to yield information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture or Demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect artists builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
Contextual Value The property has contextual value because it Is important in defining maintaining or supporting the character of an area Is physically functionally visually or historically linked to its surroundings or Is a landmark
13 I 2-19
50 ASSESSMENT OF PRINCIPAL BUILDING COMPONENTS
The property was identified by ASI (2008) during the cultural heritage assessment of a larger
geographic area The property was recommended for additional heritage evaluation The
property is presented below (Figure 5) as described by ASI during the field season of 2007 and
from the 2008 report (200860 64-65)
None of the interiors of any of the property formed part of the cultural heritage assessment
conducted by ASI
51 Surrounding Areas
SJAHCE and AREA Architects conducted a field visit of the exterior and interior of both
properties on March 1st 2010 The study area was bounded to the east by Dixie Road to the
north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 and to the south by Countryside Road A
dewatering program was underway along Dixie Road during the field visit The view to the east
remained relatively unchanged by ldquomodernrdquo development consisting of an old school building
with a date stone of 1872 [now demolished] located at the northeast corner of Dixie and
Countryside Roads In addition there were two residences (11623 and 11575 Dixie Road) which
were considered to date between the 1950s and 1960s There was also a farm complex located at
1115 Dixie Road known as Grey Haven Farms
The view to the south is very disruptive to the original historic view (farmland) It is currently
under intense development for a ldquoMaster Planned Communityrdquo and no longer retains any of its
original rural agricultural aspect
The view to the west includes a moderately rolling hill topography (existing associated
farmlands) and Highway 410 A large earth berm sits directly behind (west) of 11098 Dixie
Road The berm and Highway 410 impact the original rural agricultural character of the two
properties
The view to the north includes a very busy Mayfield Road which has been widened from its
original two lane configuration and farmland This view retains a more historical aspect of
farmlands and a mid-Victorian two storey brick residence

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave

Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming

Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure
44
I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

20 HISTORIC SUMMARY
The following historic summary is taken from the ASI (200813-14) cultural heritage assessment
of a larger geographic area as pertinent to the property
ldquoPart of the land which encompasses Chinguacousy Township was alienated by the British from
the native Mississaugas through a provisional treaty dated October 28 1818 (Indian Treaties
189119 p47)
The township is said to have been named by Sir Peregrine Maitland after the Mississauga word
for the Credit River and which signified ldquoyoung pinerdquo Other scholars assert that it was named in honour of the Ottawa Chief Shinguacose which was corrupted to the present spelling of
ldquoChinguacousyrdquo under whose leadership Fort Michilimacinac was captured from the Americans
in the War of 1812rdquo (Mika 1977416 Rayburn 199768)
The township was formally surveyed in 1818 and the first ldquolegalrdquo settlers took up their lands later in that same year The extant Survey Diaries indicated that the original timber stands within
the township included oak ash maple beech elm basswood hemlock and pine The survey
crew working in the township in the summer of 1891 suffered under extreme conditionshellip
It was recorded that the first landowners in Chinguacousy were composed of settlers from New
Brunswick the United States and also some United Empire Loyalists and their children (Pope
187765 Mika 1977417 Armstrong 1985142)
Chinguacousy was originally included within the limits of the Home District until 1849 when
the old Upper Canadian Districts were abolished It formed part of the United Counties of York
Ontario and Pell until 1851 when Peel was elevated to independent County status under the
provisions of 14 amp 15 Vic Ch 5 A provisional council for Peel was not established until 1865
and the first official meeting of the Peel County council did not occur until January 1867 In
1974 part of the township was amalgamated with the City of Brampton and the remainder was
annexed to the Town of Caledon (Pope 187759 Mika 1977417-418) Armstrong 1985152
Rayburn 199768)
Due to the small population of the then newly acquired tract Chinguacousy was initially united
with the Gore of Toronto Township for political and administrative purposes In 1821 the
population of the united townships numbered just 412 By 1837 the population of the township
had reached an estimated 1921 The numbers grew from 3721 in 1842 to 7469 in 1851
Thereafter the figures declined to 6897 in 1861 and to 6 129 by 1871 (Walton 183771 Pope
187759)
The township was the largest in Peel County Chinguacousy was described as one of the best
settled townships in the Home District It contained excellent rolling land which was timbered
mainly in hardwood with some pine intermixed Excellent wheat was grown here The township
contained one grist mill and seven saw mills By 1851 this number had increased to two grist
mills and eight sawmills (Smith 184632 Smith 1851279)
5 I 2-11
The principal crops grown in Chinguacousy included wheat oats peas potatoes and turnips It
was estimated that the only township in the province which rivaled Chinguacousy in terms of
wheat production at that time was Whitby Other farm products included maple sugar wool
cheese and butter (Smith 1851279)
In 1877 it was described as a ldquofirst class agricultural township and the farmers as a general thing have been very successful in their undertakings many of them having amassed quite a fortune
The township is noted for its beautiful and substantial farm residences and commodious barns
The farms also are generally in the highest state of cultivation while the grounds in front of the
residences are for the most part tastefully arranged with beautiful flowers and shade trees giving
each place and the country generally a handsome appearance (Pope 187765)
Mayfield This village was described as a ldquosmall settlementrdquo which contained a brick school house store post office blacksmith shop and hotel The hotel was managed by F Archdeken in
1869 The postmaster was William Spiers and the village store was kept by Robert Hiscocks
The population was about 50 inhabitants in 1877 (McEvoy 1869304 Pope 187766)rdquo
The former village of Mayfield is included in the general description because of its influence at
the crossroads of Mayfield Road and Dixie Road
Additional research conducted by SJAHCE provides a synopsis on the economic ups and downs
from circa 1845 to 1910 in former Peel County
In a study of Peel County Canada West general conditions were noted by Gagan (198112) of
the period of the 1850s Gagan wrote
ldquoThe 1850s were ushered in by a series of eventshellipThe Irish famine emigrations of 1847-8 the
advent of responsible government in 1849 the completion of the St Lawrence canal system a
reciprocal trading agreement with the United States of America and an expanding imperial
market for Canadian wheat all contributed in less than a decade (1845-54) to the definition of a
new era in Canadian historyrdquo
By this Gagan infers that the time was ripe for settlement and growth from 1845 to 1854 in the
then County of Peel This prosperous time however was shortlived as the early 1860s brought
ldquocommercial depression (1857-1860) decline in wheat prices (47 in 4 years) a series of
severe crop failures disruption of the American market for Canadian livestock dairy products
cereal and forage cropshellip(ibid13) These processes caused a crisis in the community No longer was there expansion but rather those hardy settlers that could endure became
ldquosurvivorsrdquo Changes in their daily lives included marrying later in life having fewer children no longer having extended families in one household and for many movement out of the
province altogether
By 1870 there was again an economic recovery and stabilization in Peel County and for
approximately 40 years there was what could be coined as a relative respite from hard times
Former agricultural reliance on wheat as a crop moved to a more mixed farming community
6 I 2-12
Those individuals who settled in the area in the 1840s and 1850s and weathered through the
difficult late 1850s and 1860s are examples of the strength and ingenuity of Peel‟s early settlers
21 Individual Property History
The following history of Lot 17 east half Concession 3 (EHS) are taken from ASI (200814-17)
as they pertain to the three properties investigated in this report
211 East Half of Lot 17 Concession 3 (EHS)
The earliest patent plan showed that the east half of this was in possession of James Townly or
Townley during the 1820s and 1830s (Sherwood 182) Townley (ca 1789-1830) was a native
of England who arrived in York Upper Canada on September 3 1819 He submitted his petition
for land as a settler on the following day This document described him as a farmer from Catton
Lancashire England while other records stated that he was a native of Yorkshire His wife Ann
(1785-1865) was a native of Whitehaven Cumberland England His settlement duties for this
land had been completed by the end of October 1824 This meant that he had cleared and fenced
part of his acreage constructed a permanent dwelling house at least 16 x 20 feet in size and had
cleared one-half of the road allowance in front of his farm His patent fees were paid by the third
week of November in the same year (Upper Canada Land Petition T1281) Township Papers pp
455-457 Perkins Bull pp 68912-68918)
hellip
Evidence shows that this lot was in the possession of Thomas Archdekin and Fenton Lawler in
1837 (Walton 183767 69) Unfortunately this early Directory is not specific as to the amount
of land held by each man which part of the lot they held and whether they owned or simply
occupied it as tenants
One of the early assessment rolls for the township showed that this lot was occupied by Thomas
Archdekin and Isaac Bailey in 1844 Bailey was partially assessed upon the value of his
livestock which consisted of horses milch cows and an ox Archdekin owned horses a milch
cow and other ldquohornedrdquo cattle (Assessment roll 1844)
The east half of the lot was patented by James Townley on November 24 1824 It was sold to
Maurice Hearn approximately three weeks later for pound25 Subsequent owners included Lawler
Fenton (1827) and Thomas Ingoldsby (1854) A small half acre parcel was sold to Thomas
Archdekin in February 1835 (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoArdquo p 81) The 1871 census indicates that Archdekin (b 1816) was a hotel keeper on this land and the 1859 Tremaine map
showed a hotel at the most northerly angle of the lot in the village of Mayfield The Archdekin
household consisted of his wife Martha (b 1812) and a 16 year old servant named Henry
Connington He was a native of Ireland and a member of the Church of England Archdekin
grew potatoes and apples on his land (1871 Census division d-2 p14 5) This small parcel
passed through the hands of several owners until it was acquired by Joseph Peter McGurk in
April 1903 The balance of the lot remained in the possession of the Ingoldsby family until after
7 I 2-13the turn of the twentieth century By February 1905 it was in the hands of Thomas and
Thaddeus Ingoldsby (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoBrdquo p 140) The 1877 Atlas showed that this corner of the lot contained an inn as well as a house barn and orchardsrdquo
Appendix B presents the abstract index for the property Land registry records are principally
records for the transference and amounts paid for said transference of lands
Structures are indicated on this lot in the area of the inn (not the extant structure of this study) on
the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting early settlement in the area The same structure and the
extant structure of this study area are indicated on the 1877 Illustrated Historic Atlas map The
1877 map indicates ownership by Thomas Ingoldsby and the abstract index suggests that he
owned that portion of the property in 1854 It can be assumed that he built the structure
sometime between 1854 and 1877 Early settlement structures did not tend to be substantial so
the presence of a field stone house situated near the crossroads of Mayfield is a direct reflection
of status and wealth of the early owners
Instrument No 55739 is the probate of the last will and testament of George Gray identified as
a yeoman The instrument number is January 12 1909 however the will actually dated August th
30 1908 Fifty acres of land from Lot 16 Concession 3 EHS was bequeathed to his son
Joseph Gray and the remainder was bequeathed equally to the remaining sons and daughters
without specifying amounts or what the assets actually entailed
There were no structures indicated on this lot in the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting the family
had a homestead on other lands However by 1877 the Illustrated Historic Atlas does depict
structures which suggests that the extant house dates sometime between 1860 and 1877

40 PROCESS amp POLICIES FOR HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
(HIA)
41 Applicable Heritage Policies
The conservation of cultural heritage properties is governed at the provincial level by the Ontario
Heritage Act RSO 1990 with amendments up to 2006 (OHA) (Government of Ontario 2006)
and Section 26 Cultural Heritage and Archaeology of the Provincial Policy Statement of the
Planning Act 2005 (PPS) The PPS Policy 263 is a recent policy which incorporated a
requirement for an impact assessment on adjacent heritage resources
ldquoDevelopment and site alteration may be permitted on adjacent lands to protected heritage property where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been
demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conservedrdquo
These two provincial pieces of legislation the OHA and PPS have been incorporated into the
heritage policies of the City of Brampton But the PPS regulation does not specifically apply to
these properties since they have not been designated under the OHA and hence by definition is
not a ldquoprotected heritage propertyrdquo under this legislation
Instead the applicable municipal legislation governing these properties would be the Brampton
Official Plan 1993 which establishes the requirement of an HIA as follows
49210 The City may request the preparation of a heritage impact statement when any conduction development or property alteration might adversely affect [sic] a listed or designated property or a property adjacent to such a property
The format and content of the HIA are described in the Ministry of Culture Ontario Heritage
Tool Kit (Ontario Ministry of Culture 2006) and also analogous to the provincial standards in
the City‟s Guidelines for Preparing Heritage Impact Assessment (Leonard 2008) These content
requirements are incorporated into the sections below except for some changes to section titles
for relevance to the subject properties and project
42 Process for Determining Heritage Value
Each property listed on the City‟s Heritage Inventory is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria
(Government of Ontario 2006) and in the case of Brampton further developed with a specific
municipal scoring system Brampton‟s Criteria of Heritage Value (Leonard 2007) The
provincial criteria categories will be used in section 7 titled ldquoHeritage Inventory amp Evaluation of Heritage Elementsrdquo to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject properties
Each property listed on the Town‟s Heritage Register is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value (Government of Ontario 2006) The provincial criteria
12 I 2-18categories will be used in the subsequent sections of this report to evaluate the heritage
significance of the subject properties according to Table 1
Table 1 Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value
OHA O Reg 906 Categories
OHA Criteria for Heritage Value
Design or Physical Value
The property has design value or physical value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit or Demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement
Historical or Associative Value
The property has historical value or associative value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Yields or has the potential to yield information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture or Demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect artists builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
Contextual Value The property has contextual value because it Is important in defining maintaining or supporting the character of an area Is physically functionally visually or historically linked to its surroundings or Is a landmark
13 I 2-19
50 ASSESSMENT OF PRINCIPAL BUILDING COMPONENTS
The property was identified by ASI (2008) during the cultural heritage assessment of a larger
geographic area The property was recommended for additional heritage evaluation The
property is presented below (Figure 5) as described by ASI during the field season of 2007 and
from the 2008 report (200860 64-65)
None of the interiors of any of the property formed part of the cultural heritage assessment
conducted by ASI
51 Surrounding Areas
SJAHCE and AREA Architects conducted a field visit of the exterior and interior of both
properties on March 1st 2010 The study area was bounded to the east by Dixie Road to the
north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 and to the south by Countryside Road A
dewatering program was underway along Dixie Road during the field visit The view to the east
remained relatively unchanged by ldquomodernrdquo development consisting of an old school building
with a date stone of 1872 [now demolished] located at the northeast corner of Dixie and
Countryside Roads In addition there were two residences (11623 and 11575 Dixie Road) which
were considered to date between the 1950s and 1960s There was also a farm complex located at
1115 Dixie Road known as Grey Haven Farms
The view to the south is very disruptive to the original historic view (farmland) It is currently
under intense development for a ldquoMaster Planned Communityrdquo and no longer retains any of its
original rural agricultural aspect
The view to the west includes a moderately rolling hill topography (existing associated
farmlands) and Highway 410 A large earth berm sits directly behind (west) of 11098 Dixie
Road The berm and Highway 410 impact the original rural agricultural character of the two
properties
The view to the north includes a very busy Mayfield Road which has been widened from its
original two lane configuration and farmland This view retains a more historical aspect of
farmlands and a mid-Victorian two storey brick residence

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

Photograph 16 Second Floor Windows
Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

20 HISTORIC SUMMARY
The following historic summary is taken from the ASI (200813-14) cultural heritage assessment
of a larger geographic area as pertinent to the property
ldquoPart of the land which encompasses Chinguacousy Township was alienated by the British from
the native Mississaugas through a provisional treaty dated October 28 1818 (Indian Treaties
189119 p47)
The township is said to have been named by Sir Peregrine Maitland after the Mississauga word
for the Credit River and which signified ldquoyoung pinerdquo Other scholars assert that it was named in honour of the Ottawa Chief Shinguacose which was corrupted to the present spelling of
ldquoChinguacousyrdquo under whose leadership Fort Michilimacinac was captured from the Americans
in the War of 1812rdquo (Mika 1977416 Rayburn 199768)
The township was formally surveyed in 1818 and the first ldquolegalrdquo settlers took up their lands later in that same year The extant Survey Diaries indicated that the original timber stands within
the township included oak ash maple beech elm basswood hemlock and pine The survey
crew working in the township in the summer of 1891 suffered under extreme conditionshellip
It was recorded that the first landowners in Chinguacousy were composed of settlers from New
Brunswick the United States and also some United Empire Loyalists and their children (Pope
187765 Mika 1977417 Armstrong 1985142)
Chinguacousy was originally included within the limits of the Home District until 1849 when
the old Upper Canadian Districts were abolished It formed part of the United Counties of York
Ontario and Pell until 1851 when Peel was elevated to independent County status under the
provisions of 14 amp 15 Vic Ch 5 A provisional council for Peel was not established until 1865
and the first official meeting of the Peel County council did not occur until January 1867 In
1974 part of the township was amalgamated with the City of Brampton and the remainder was
annexed to the Town of Caledon (Pope 187759 Mika 1977417-418) Armstrong 1985152
Rayburn 199768)
Due to the small population of the then newly acquired tract Chinguacousy was initially united
with the Gore of Toronto Township for political and administrative purposes In 1821 the
population of the united townships numbered just 412 By 1837 the population of the township
had reached an estimated 1921 The numbers grew from 3721 in 1842 to 7469 in 1851
Thereafter the figures declined to 6897 in 1861 and to 6 129 by 1871 (Walton 183771 Pope
187759)
The township was the largest in Peel County Chinguacousy was described as one of the best
settled townships in the Home District It contained excellent rolling land which was timbered
mainly in hardwood with some pine intermixed Excellent wheat was grown here The township
contained one grist mill and seven saw mills By 1851 this number had increased to two grist
mills and eight sawmills (Smith 184632 Smith 1851279)
5 I 2-11
The principal crops grown in Chinguacousy included wheat oats peas potatoes and turnips It
was estimated that the only township in the province which rivaled Chinguacousy in terms of
wheat production at that time was Whitby Other farm products included maple sugar wool
cheese and butter (Smith 1851279)
In 1877 it was described as a ldquofirst class agricultural township and the farmers as a general thing have been very successful in their undertakings many of them having amassed quite a fortune
The township is noted for its beautiful and substantial farm residences and commodious barns
The farms also are generally in the highest state of cultivation while the grounds in front of the
residences are for the most part tastefully arranged with beautiful flowers and shade trees giving
each place and the country generally a handsome appearance (Pope 187765)
Mayfield This village was described as a ldquosmall settlementrdquo which contained a brick school house store post office blacksmith shop and hotel The hotel was managed by F Archdeken in
1869 The postmaster was William Spiers and the village store was kept by Robert Hiscocks
The population was about 50 inhabitants in 1877 (McEvoy 1869304 Pope 187766)rdquo
The former village of Mayfield is included in the general description because of its influence at
the crossroads of Mayfield Road and Dixie Road
Additional research conducted by SJAHCE provides a synopsis on the economic ups and downs
from circa 1845 to 1910 in former Peel County
In a study of Peel County Canada West general conditions were noted by Gagan (198112) of
the period of the 1850s Gagan wrote
ldquoThe 1850s were ushered in by a series of eventshellipThe Irish famine emigrations of 1847-8 the
advent of responsible government in 1849 the completion of the St Lawrence canal system a
reciprocal trading agreement with the United States of America and an expanding imperial
market for Canadian wheat all contributed in less than a decade (1845-54) to the definition of a
new era in Canadian historyrdquo
By this Gagan infers that the time was ripe for settlement and growth from 1845 to 1854 in the
then County of Peel This prosperous time however was shortlived as the early 1860s brought
ldquocommercial depression (1857-1860) decline in wheat prices (47 in 4 years) a series of
severe crop failures disruption of the American market for Canadian livestock dairy products
cereal and forage cropshellip(ibid13) These processes caused a crisis in the community No longer was there expansion but rather those hardy settlers that could endure became
ldquosurvivorsrdquo Changes in their daily lives included marrying later in life having fewer children no longer having extended families in one household and for many movement out of the
province altogether
By 1870 there was again an economic recovery and stabilization in Peel County and for
approximately 40 years there was what could be coined as a relative respite from hard times
Former agricultural reliance on wheat as a crop moved to a more mixed farming community
6 I 2-12
Those individuals who settled in the area in the 1840s and 1850s and weathered through the
difficult late 1850s and 1860s are examples of the strength and ingenuity of Peel‟s early settlers
21 Individual Property History
The following history of Lot 17 east half Concession 3 (EHS) are taken from ASI (200814-17)
as they pertain to the three properties investigated in this report
211 East Half of Lot 17 Concession 3 (EHS)
The earliest patent plan showed that the east half of this was in possession of James Townly or
Townley during the 1820s and 1830s (Sherwood 182) Townley (ca 1789-1830) was a native
of England who arrived in York Upper Canada on September 3 1819 He submitted his petition
for land as a settler on the following day This document described him as a farmer from Catton
Lancashire England while other records stated that he was a native of Yorkshire His wife Ann
(1785-1865) was a native of Whitehaven Cumberland England His settlement duties for this
land had been completed by the end of October 1824 This meant that he had cleared and fenced
part of his acreage constructed a permanent dwelling house at least 16 x 20 feet in size and had
cleared one-half of the road allowance in front of his farm His patent fees were paid by the third
week of November in the same year (Upper Canada Land Petition T1281) Township Papers pp
455-457 Perkins Bull pp 68912-68918)
hellip
Evidence shows that this lot was in the possession of Thomas Archdekin and Fenton Lawler in
1837 (Walton 183767 69) Unfortunately this early Directory is not specific as to the amount
of land held by each man which part of the lot they held and whether they owned or simply
occupied it as tenants
One of the early assessment rolls for the township showed that this lot was occupied by Thomas
Archdekin and Isaac Bailey in 1844 Bailey was partially assessed upon the value of his
livestock which consisted of horses milch cows and an ox Archdekin owned horses a milch
cow and other ldquohornedrdquo cattle (Assessment roll 1844)
The east half of the lot was patented by James Townley on November 24 1824 It was sold to
Maurice Hearn approximately three weeks later for pound25 Subsequent owners included Lawler
Fenton (1827) and Thomas Ingoldsby (1854) A small half acre parcel was sold to Thomas
Archdekin in February 1835 (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoArdquo p 81) The 1871 census indicates that Archdekin (b 1816) was a hotel keeper on this land and the 1859 Tremaine map
showed a hotel at the most northerly angle of the lot in the village of Mayfield The Archdekin
household consisted of his wife Martha (b 1812) and a 16 year old servant named Henry
Connington He was a native of Ireland and a member of the Church of England Archdekin
grew potatoes and apples on his land (1871 Census division d-2 p14 5) This small parcel
passed through the hands of several owners until it was acquired by Joseph Peter McGurk in
April 1903 The balance of the lot remained in the possession of the Ingoldsby family until after
7 I 2-13the turn of the twentieth century By February 1905 it was in the hands of Thomas and
Thaddeus Ingoldsby (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoBrdquo p 140) The 1877 Atlas showed that this corner of the lot contained an inn as well as a house barn and orchardsrdquo
Appendix B presents the abstract index for the property Land registry records are principally
records for the transference and amounts paid for said transference of lands
Structures are indicated on this lot in the area of the inn (not the extant structure of this study) on
the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting early settlement in the area The same structure and the
extant structure of this study area are indicated on the 1877 Illustrated Historic Atlas map The
1877 map indicates ownership by Thomas Ingoldsby and the abstract index suggests that he
owned that portion of the property in 1854 It can be assumed that he built the structure
sometime between 1854 and 1877 Early settlement structures did not tend to be substantial so
the presence of a field stone house situated near the crossroads of Mayfield is a direct reflection
of status and wealth of the early owners
Instrument No 55739 is the probate of the last will and testament of George Gray identified as
a yeoman The instrument number is January 12 1909 however the will actually dated August th
30 1908 Fifty acres of land from Lot 16 Concession 3 EHS was bequeathed to his son
Joseph Gray and the remainder was bequeathed equally to the remaining sons and daughters
without specifying amounts or what the assets actually entailed
There were no structures indicated on this lot in the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting the family
had a homestead on other lands However by 1877 the Illustrated Historic Atlas does depict
structures which suggests that the extant house dates sometime between 1860 and 1877

Mr Jim Leonard City of Brampton Heritage was informed of the cultural heritage impact
assessment of the property in March 2010 Mr Leonard provided additional information with
respect to the property (see below)
31 11098 Dixie Rd ndash Category B
The heritage portion of the subject property comprises the farmhouse immediate frontage tree
lines and groupings in the generally vicinity surrounding the farmhouse along with nearby barn
complex and laneways
The property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or
interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside
Villages)
The subject property exhibits cultural heritage value as a cultural heritage landscape It
comprises a vernacular Ontario farmhouse exhibiting simple GeorgianLoyalist proportions
This landscape comprises four structures - two barns a shed and a farmhouse The house is a 1
and a half storey side gabled structure with a metal clad roof and likely sitting on a fieldstone
foundation The front facade is adorned with an original verandah that is supported by wood
posts Original wood window and door openings appear intact The exterior is currently clad
with synthetic siding
The barns feature metal clad gable roof lines and vertical plank wood exteriors
The shed is metal clad and has a metal exterior
Also of note on the property are the existing front yard setback groupings of mature trees and
other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouse
Rare and representative example of a vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist
design influences dating to the mid 19th century barn and shed complex associated with
Bramptons and Chinguacousy settlement history history of agriculture trees setbacks and other
property characteristics help define the area

40 PROCESS amp POLICIES FOR HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
(HIA)
41 Applicable Heritage Policies
The conservation of cultural heritage properties is governed at the provincial level by the Ontario
Heritage Act RSO 1990 with amendments up to 2006 (OHA) (Government of Ontario 2006)
and Section 26 Cultural Heritage and Archaeology of the Provincial Policy Statement of the
Planning Act 2005 (PPS) The PPS Policy 263 is a recent policy which incorporated a
requirement for an impact assessment on adjacent heritage resources
ldquoDevelopment and site alteration may be permitted on adjacent lands to protected heritage property where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been
demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conservedrdquo
These two provincial pieces of legislation the OHA and PPS have been incorporated into the
heritage policies of the City of Brampton But the PPS regulation does not specifically apply to
these properties since they have not been designated under the OHA and hence by definition is
not a ldquoprotected heritage propertyrdquo under this legislation
Instead the applicable municipal legislation governing these properties would be the Brampton
Official Plan 1993 which establishes the requirement of an HIA as follows
49210 The City may request the preparation of a heritage impact statement when any conduction development or property alteration might adversely affect [sic] a listed or designated property or a property adjacent to such a property
The format and content of the HIA are described in the Ministry of Culture Ontario Heritage
Tool Kit (Ontario Ministry of Culture 2006) and also analogous to the provincial standards in
the City‟s Guidelines for Preparing Heritage Impact Assessment (Leonard 2008) These content
requirements are incorporated into the sections below except for some changes to section titles
for relevance to the subject properties and project
42 Process for Determining Heritage Value
Each property listed on the City‟s Heritage Inventory is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria
(Government of Ontario 2006) and in the case of Brampton further developed with a specific
municipal scoring system Brampton‟s Criteria of Heritage Value (Leonard 2007) The
provincial criteria categories will be used in section 7 titled ldquoHeritage Inventory amp Evaluation of Heritage Elementsrdquo to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject properties
Each property listed on the Town‟s Heritage Register is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value (Government of Ontario 2006) The provincial criteria
12 I 2-18categories will be used in the subsequent sections of this report to evaluate the heritage
significance of the subject properties according to Table 1
Table 1 Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value
OHA O Reg 906 Categories
OHA Criteria for Heritage Value
Design or Physical Value
The property has design value or physical value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit or Demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement
Historical or Associative Value
The property has historical value or associative value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Yields or has the potential to yield information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture or Demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect artists builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
Contextual Value The property has contextual value because it Is important in defining maintaining or supporting the character of an area Is physically functionally visually or historically linked to its surroundings or Is a landmark
13 I 2-19
50 ASSESSMENT OF PRINCIPAL BUILDING COMPONENTS
The property was identified by ASI (2008) during the cultural heritage assessment of a larger
geographic area The property was recommended for additional heritage evaluation The
property is presented below (Figure 5) as described by ASI during the field season of 2007 and
from the 2008 report (200860 64-65)
None of the interiors of any of the property formed part of the cultural heritage assessment
conducted by ASI
51 Surrounding Areas
SJAHCE and AREA Architects conducted a field visit of the exterior and interior of both
properties on March 1st 2010 The study area was bounded to the east by Dixie Road to the
north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 and to the south by Countryside Road A
dewatering program was underway along Dixie Road during the field visit The view to the east
remained relatively unchanged by ldquomodernrdquo development consisting of an old school building
with a date stone of 1872 [now demolished] located at the northeast corner of Dixie and
Countryside Roads In addition there were two residences (11623 and 11575 Dixie Road) which
were considered to date between the 1950s and 1960s There was also a farm complex located at
1115 Dixie Road known as Grey Haven Farms
The view to the south is very disruptive to the original historic view (farmland) It is currently
under intense development for a ldquoMaster Planned Communityrdquo and no longer retains any of its
original rural agricultural aspect
The view to the west includes a moderately rolling hill topography (existing associated
farmlands) and Highway 410 A large earth berm sits directly behind (west) of 11098 Dixie
Road The berm and Highway 410 impact the original rural agricultural character of the two
properties
The view to the north includes a very busy Mayfield Road which has been widened from its
original two lane configuration and farmland This view retains a more historical aspect of
farmlands and a mid-Victorian two storey brick residence

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

Photograph 16 Second Floor Windows
Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Return Eaves

Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave
Photograph 20 Verandah
29 I 2-35
Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO

Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community

41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

The principal crops grown in Chinguacousy included wheat oats peas potatoes and turnips It
was estimated that the only township in the province which rivaled Chinguacousy in terms of
wheat production at that time was Whitby Other farm products included maple sugar wool
cheese and butter (Smith 1851279)
In 1877 it was described as a ldquofirst class agricultural township and the farmers as a general thing have been very successful in their undertakings many of them having amassed quite a fortune
The township is noted for its beautiful and substantial farm residences and commodious barns
The farms also are generally in the highest state of cultivation while the grounds in front of the
residences are for the most part tastefully arranged with beautiful flowers and shade trees giving
each place and the country generally a handsome appearance (Pope 187765)
Mayfield This village was described as a ldquosmall settlementrdquo which contained a brick school house store post office blacksmith shop and hotel The hotel was managed by F Archdeken in
1869 The postmaster was William Spiers and the village store was kept by Robert Hiscocks
The population was about 50 inhabitants in 1877 (McEvoy 1869304 Pope 187766)rdquo
The former village of Mayfield is included in the general description because of its influence at
the crossroads of Mayfield Road and Dixie Road
Additional research conducted by SJAHCE provides a synopsis on the economic ups and downs
from circa 1845 to 1910 in former Peel County
In a study of Peel County Canada West general conditions were noted by Gagan (198112) of
the period of the 1850s Gagan wrote
ldquoThe 1850s were ushered in by a series of eventshellipThe Irish famine emigrations of 1847-8 the
advent of responsible government in 1849 the completion of the St Lawrence canal system a
reciprocal trading agreement with the United States of America and an expanding imperial
market for Canadian wheat all contributed in less than a decade (1845-54) to the definition of a
new era in Canadian historyrdquo
By this Gagan infers that the time was ripe for settlement and growth from 1845 to 1854 in the
then County of Peel This prosperous time however was shortlived as the early 1860s brought
ldquocommercial depression (1857-1860) decline in wheat prices (47 in 4 years) a series of
severe crop failures disruption of the American market for Canadian livestock dairy products
cereal and forage cropshellip(ibid13) These processes caused a crisis in the community No longer was there expansion but rather those hardy settlers that could endure became
ldquosurvivorsrdquo Changes in their daily lives included marrying later in life having fewer children no longer having extended families in one household and for many movement out of the
province altogether
By 1870 there was again an economic recovery and stabilization in Peel County and for
approximately 40 years there was what could be coined as a relative respite from hard times
Former agricultural reliance on wheat as a crop moved to a more mixed farming community
6 I 2-12
Those individuals who settled in the area in the 1840s and 1850s and weathered through the
difficult late 1850s and 1860s are examples of the strength and ingenuity of Peel‟s early settlers
21 Individual Property History
The following history of Lot 17 east half Concession 3 (EHS) are taken from ASI (200814-17)
as they pertain to the three properties investigated in this report
211 East Half of Lot 17 Concession 3 (EHS)
The earliest patent plan showed that the east half of this was in possession of James Townly or
Townley during the 1820s and 1830s (Sherwood 182) Townley (ca 1789-1830) was a native
of England who arrived in York Upper Canada on September 3 1819 He submitted his petition
for land as a settler on the following day This document described him as a farmer from Catton
Lancashire England while other records stated that he was a native of Yorkshire His wife Ann
(1785-1865) was a native of Whitehaven Cumberland England His settlement duties for this
land had been completed by the end of October 1824 This meant that he had cleared and fenced
part of his acreage constructed a permanent dwelling house at least 16 x 20 feet in size and had
cleared one-half of the road allowance in front of his farm His patent fees were paid by the third
week of November in the same year (Upper Canada Land Petition T1281) Township Papers pp
455-457 Perkins Bull pp 68912-68918)
hellip
Evidence shows that this lot was in the possession of Thomas Archdekin and Fenton Lawler in
1837 (Walton 183767 69) Unfortunately this early Directory is not specific as to the amount
of land held by each man which part of the lot they held and whether they owned or simply
occupied it as tenants
One of the early assessment rolls for the township showed that this lot was occupied by Thomas
Archdekin and Isaac Bailey in 1844 Bailey was partially assessed upon the value of his
livestock which consisted of horses milch cows and an ox Archdekin owned horses a milch
cow and other ldquohornedrdquo cattle (Assessment roll 1844)
The east half of the lot was patented by James Townley on November 24 1824 It was sold to
Maurice Hearn approximately three weeks later for pound25 Subsequent owners included Lawler
Fenton (1827) and Thomas Ingoldsby (1854) A small half acre parcel was sold to Thomas
Archdekin in February 1835 (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoArdquo p 81) The 1871 census indicates that Archdekin (b 1816) was a hotel keeper on this land and the 1859 Tremaine map
showed a hotel at the most northerly angle of the lot in the village of Mayfield The Archdekin
household consisted of his wife Martha (b 1812) and a 16 year old servant named Henry
Connington He was a native of Ireland and a member of the Church of England Archdekin
grew potatoes and apples on his land (1871 Census division d-2 p14 5) This small parcel
passed through the hands of several owners until it was acquired by Joseph Peter McGurk in
April 1903 The balance of the lot remained in the possession of the Ingoldsby family until after
7 I 2-13the turn of the twentieth century By February 1905 it was in the hands of Thomas and
Thaddeus Ingoldsby (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoBrdquo p 140) The 1877 Atlas showed that this corner of the lot contained an inn as well as a house barn and orchardsrdquo
Appendix B presents the abstract index for the property Land registry records are principally
records for the transference and amounts paid for said transference of lands
Structures are indicated on this lot in the area of the inn (not the extant structure of this study) on
the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting early settlement in the area The same structure and the
extant structure of this study area are indicated on the 1877 Illustrated Historic Atlas map The
1877 map indicates ownership by Thomas Ingoldsby and the abstract index suggests that he
owned that portion of the property in 1854 It can be assumed that he built the structure
sometime between 1854 and 1877 Early settlement structures did not tend to be substantial so
the presence of a field stone house situated near the crossroads of Mayfield is a direct reflection
of status and wealth of the early owners
Instrument No 55739 is the probate of the last will and testament of George Gray identified as
a yeoman The instrument number is January 12 1909 however the will actually dated August th
30 1908 Fifty acres of land from Lot 16 Concession 3 EHS was bequeathed to his son
Joseph Gray and the remainder was bequeathed equally to the remaining sons and daughters
without specifying amounts or what the assets actually entailed
There were no structures indicated on this lot in the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting the family
had a homestead on other lands However by 1877 the Illustrated Historic Atlas does depict
structures which suggests that the extant house dates sometime between 1860 and 1877

30 MUNICIPAL CONTACT
Mr Jim Leonard City of Brampton Heritage was informed of the cultural heritage impact
assessment of the property in March 2010 Mr Leonard provided additional information with
respect to the property (see below)
31 11098 Dixie Rd ndash Category B
The heritage portion of the subject property comprises the farmhouse immediate frontage tree
lines and groupings in the generally vicinity surrounding the farmhouse along with nearby barn
complex and laneways
The property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or
interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside
Villages)
The subject property exhibits cultural heritage value as a cultural heritage landscape It
comprises a vernacular Ontario farmhouse exhibiting simple GeorgianLoyalist proportions
This landscape comprises four structures - two barns a shed and a farmhouse The house is a 1
and a half storey side gabled structure with a metal clad roof and likely sitting on a fieldstone
foundation The front facade is adorned with an original verandah that is supported by wood
posts Original wood window and door openings appear intact The exterior is currently clad
with synthetic siding
The barns feature metal clad gable roof lines and vertical plank wood exteriors
The shed is metal clad and has a metal exterior
Also of note on the property are the existing front yard setback groupings of mature trees and
other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouse
Rare and representative example of a vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist
design influences dating to the mid 19th century barn and shed complex associated with
Bramptons and Chinguacousy settlement history history of agriculture trees setbacks and other
property characteristics help define the area

40 PROCESS amp POLICIES FOR HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
(HIA)
41 Applicable Heritage Policies
The conservation of cultural heritage properties is governed at the provincial level by the Ontario
Heritage Act RSO 1990 with amendments up to 2006 (OHA) (Government of Ontario 2006)
and Section 26 Cultural Heritage and Archaeology of the Provincial Policy Statement of the
Planning Act 2005 (PPS) The PPS Policy 263 is a recent policy which incorporated a
requirement for an impact assessment on adjacent heritage resources
ldquoDevelopment and site alteration may be permitted on adjacent lands to protected heritage property where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been
demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conservedrdquo
These two provincial pieces of legislation the OHA and PPS have been incorporated into the
heritage policies of the City of Brampton But the PPS regulation does not specifically apply to
these properties since they have not been designated under the OHA and hence by definition is
not a ldquoprotected heritage propertyrdquo under this legislation
Instead the applicable municipal legislation governing these properties would be the Brampton
Official Plan 1993 which establishes the requirement of an HIA as follows
49210 The City may request the preparation of a heritage impact statement when any conduction development or property alteration might adversely affect [sic] a listed or designated property or a property adjacent to such a property
The format and content of the HIA are described in the Ministry of Culture Ontario Heritage
Tool Kit (Ontario Ministry of Culture 2006) and also analogous to the provincial standards in
the City‟s Guidelines for Preparing Heritage Impact Assessment (Leonard 2008) These content
requirements are incorporated into the sections below except for some changes to section titles
for relevance to the subject properties and project
42 Process for Determining Heritage Value
Each property listed on the City‟s Heritage Inventory is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria
(Government of Ontario 2006) and in the case of Brampton further developed with a specific
municipal scoring system Brampton‟s Criteria of Heritage Value (Leonard 2007) The
provincial criteria categories will be used in section 7 titled ldquoHeritage Inventory amp Evaluation of Heritage Elementsrdquo to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject properties
Each property listed on the Town‟s Heritage Register is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value (Government of Ontario 2006) The provincial criteria
12 I 2-18categories will be used in the subsequent sections of this report to evaluate the heritage
significance of the subject properties according to Table 1
Table 1 Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value
OHA O Reg 906 Categories
OHA Criteria for Heritage Value
Design or Physical Value
The property has design value or physical value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit or Demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement
Historical or Associative Value
The property has historical value or associative value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Yields or has the potential to yield information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture or Demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect artists builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
Contextual Value The property has contextual value because it Is important in defining maintaining or supporting the character of an area Is physically functionally visually or historically linked to its surroundings or Is a landmark
13 I 2-19
50 ASSESSMENT OF PRINCIPAL BUILDING COMPONENTS
The property was identified by ASI (2008) during the cultural heritage assessment of a larger
geographic area The property was recommended for additional heritage evaluation The
property is presented below (Figure 5) as described by ASI during the field season of 2007 and
from the 2008 report (200860 64-65)
None of the interiors of any of the property formed part of the cultural heritage assessment
conducted by ASI
51 Surrounding Areas
SJAHCE and AREA Architects conducted a field visit of the exterior and interior of both
properties on March 1st 2010 The study area was bounded to the east by Dixie Road to the
north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 and to the south by Countryside Road A
dewatering program was underway along Dixie Road during the field visit The view to the east
remained relatively unchanged by ldquomodernrdquo development consisting of an old school building
with a date stone of 1872 [now demolished] located at the northeast corner of Dixie and
Countryside Roads In addition there were two residences (11623 and 11575 Dixie Road) which
were considered to date between the 1950s and 1960s There was also a farm complex located at
1115 Dixie Road known as Grey Haven Farms
The view to the south is very disruptive to the original historic view (farmland) It is currently
under intense development for a ldquoMaster Planned Communityrdquo and no longer retains any of its
original rural agricultural aspect
The view to the west includes a moderately rolling hill topography (existing associated
farmlands) and Highway 410 A large earth berm sits directly behind (west) of 11098 Dixie
Road The berm and Highway 410 impact the original rural agricultural character of the two
properties
The view to the north includes a very busy Mayfield Road which has been widened from its
original two lane configuration and farmland This view retains a more historical aspect of
farmlands and a mid-Victorian two storey brick residence

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

Photograph 16 Second Floor Windows
Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure
44
I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

Those individuals who settled in the area in the 1840s and 1850s and weathered through the
difficult late 1850s and 1860s are examples of the strength and ingenuity of Peel‟s early settlers
21 Individual Property History
The following history of Lot 17 east half Concession 3 (EHS) are taken from ASI (200814-17)
as they pertain to the three properties investigated in this report
211 East Half of Lot 17 Concession 3 (EHS)
The earliest patent plan showed that the east half of this was in possession of James Townly or
Townley during the 1820s and 1830s (Sherwood 182) Townley (ca 1789-1830) was a native
of England who arrived in York Upper Canada on September 3 1819 He submitted his petition
for land as a settler on the following day This document described him as a farmer from Catton
Lancashire England while other records stated that he was a native of Yorkshire His wife Ann
(1785-1865) was a native of Whitehaven Cumberland England His settlement duties for this
land had been completed by the end of October 1824 This meant that he had cleared and fenced
part of his acreage constructed a permanent dwelling house at least 16 x 20 feet in size and had
cleared one-half of the road allowance in front of his farm His patent fees were paid by the third
week of November in the same year (Upper Canada Land Petition T1281) Township Papers pp
455-457 Perkins Bull pp 68912-68918)

Evidence shows that this lot was in the possession of Thomas Archdekin and Fenton Lawler in
1837 (Walton 183767 69) Unfortunately this early Directory is not specific as to the amount
of land held by each man which part of the lot they held and whether they owned or simply
occupied it as tenants
One of the early assessment rolls for the township showed that this lot was occupied by Thomas
Archdekin and Isaac Bailey in 1844 Bailey was partially assessed upon the value of his
livestock which consisted of horses milch cows and an ox Archdekin owned horses a milch
cow and other ldquohornedrdquo cattle (Assessment roll 1844)
The east half of the lot was patented by James Townley on November 24 1824 It was sold to
Maurice Hearn approximately three weeks later for pound25 Subsequent owners included Lawler
Fenton (1827) and Thomas Ingoldsby (1854) A small half acre parcel was sold to Thomas
Archdekin in February 1835 (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoArdquo p 81) The 1871 census indicates that Archdekin (b 1816) was a hotel keeper on this land and the 1859 Tremaine map
showed a hotel at the most northerly angle of the lot in the village of Mayfield The Archdekin
household consisted of his wife Martha (b 1812) and a 16 year old servant named Henry
Connington He was a native of Ireland and a member of the Church of England Archdekin
grew potatoes and apples on his land (1871 Census division d-2 p14 5) This small parcel
passed through the hands of several owners until it was acquired by Joseph Peter McGurk in
April 1903 The balance of the lot remained in the possession of the Ingoldsby family until after
7 I 2-13the turn of the twentieth century By February 1905 it was in the hands of Thomas and
Thaddeus Ingoldsby (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoBrdquo p 140) The 1877 Atlas showed that this corner of the lot contained an inn as well as a house barn and orchardsrdquo
Appendix B presents the abstract index for the property Land registry records are principally
records for the transference and amounts paid for said transference of lands
Structures are indicated on this lot in the area of the inn (not the extant structure of this study) on
the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting early settlement in the area The same structure and the
extant structure of this study area are indicated on the 1877 Illustrated Historic Atlas map The
1877 map indicates ownership by Thomas Ingoldsby and the abstract index suggests that he
owned that portion of the property in 1854 It can be assumed that he built the structure
sometime between 1854 and 1877 Early settlement structures did not tend to be substantial so
the presence of a field stone house situated near the crossroads of Mayfield is a direct reflection
of status and wealth of the early owners
Instrument No 55739 is the probate of the last will and testament of George Gray identified as
a yeoman The instrument number is January 12 1909 however the will actually dated August th
30 1908 Fifty acres of land from Lot 16 Concession 3 EHS was bequeathed to his son
Joseph Gray and the remainder was bequeathed equally to the remaining sons and daughters
without specifying amounts or what the assets actually entailed
There were no structures indicated on this lot in the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting the family
had a homestead on other lands However by 1877 the Illustrated Historic Atlas does depict
structures which suggests that the extant house dates sometime between 1860 and 1877

40 PROCESS amp POLICIES FOR HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
(HIA)
41 Applicable Heritage Policies
The conservation of cultural heritage properties is governed at the provincial level by the Ontario
Heritage Act RSO 1990 with amendments up to 2006 (OHA) (Government of Ontario 2006)
and Section 26 Cultural Heritage and Archaeology of the Provincial Policy Statement of the
Planning Act 2005 (PPS) The PPS Policy 263 is a recent policy which incorporated a
requirement for an impact assessment on adjacent heritage resources
ldquoDevelopment and site alteration may be permitted on adjacent lands to protected heritage property where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been
demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conservedrdquo
These two provincial pieces of legislation the OHA and PPS have been incorporated into the
heritage policies of the City of Brampton But the PPS regulation does not specifically apply to
these properties since they have not been designated under the OHA and hence by definition is
not a ldquoprotected heritage propertyrdquo under this legislation
Instead the applicable municipal legislation governing these properties would be the Brampton
Official Plan 1993 which establishes the requirement of an HIA as follows
49210 The City may request the preparation of a heritage impact statement when any conduction development or property alteration might adversely affect [sic] a listed or designated property or a property adjacent to such a property
The format and content of the HIA are described in the Ministry of Culture Ontario Heritage
Tool Kit (Ontario Ministry of Culture 2006) and also analogous to the provincial standards in
the City‟s Guidelines for Preparing Heritage Impact Assessment (Leonard 2008) These content
requirements are incorporated into the sections below except for some changes to section titles
for relevance to the subject properties and project
42 Process for Determining Heritage Value
Each property listed on the City‟s Heritage Inventory is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria
(Government of Ontario 2006) and in the case of Brampton further developed with a specific
municipal scoring system Brampton‟s Criteria of Heritage Value (Leonard 2007) The
provincial criteria categories will be used in section 7 titled ldquoHeritage Inventory amp Evaluation of Heritage Elementsrdquo to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject properties
Each property listed on the Town‟s Heritage Register is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value (Government of Ontario 2006) The provincial criteria
12 I 2-18categories will be used in the subsequent sections of this report to evaluate the heritage
significance of the subject properties according to Table 1
Table 1 Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value
OHA O Reg 906 Categories
OHA Criteria for Heritage Value
Design or Physical Value
The property has design value or physical value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit or Demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement
Historical or Associative Value
The property has historical value or associative value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Yields or has the potential to yield information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture or Demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect artists builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
Contextual Value The property has contextual value because it Is important in defining maintaining or supporting the character of an area Is physically functionally visually or historically linked to its surroundings or Is a landmark
13 I 2-19
50 ASSESSMENT OF PRINCIPAL BUILDING COMPONENTS
The property was identified by ASI (2008) during the cultural heritage assessment of a larger
geographic area The property was recommended for additional heritage evaluation The
property is presented below (Figure 5) as described by ASI during the field season of 2007 and
from the 2008 report (200860 64-65)
None of the interiors of any of the property formed part of the cultural heritage assessment
conducted by ASI
51 Surrounding Areas
SJAHCE and AREA Architects conducted a field visit of the exterior and interior of both
properties on March 1st 2010 The study area was bounded to the east by Dixie Road to the
north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 and to the south by Countryside Road A
dewatering program was underway along Dixie Road during the field visit The view to the east
remained relatively unchanged by ldquomodernrdquo development consisting of an old school building
with a date stone of 1872 [now demolished] located at the northeast corner of Dixie and
Countryside Roads In addition there were two residences (11623 and 11575 Dixie Road) which
were considered to date between the 1950s and 1960s There was also a farm complex located at
1115 Dixie Road known as Grey Haven Farms
The view to the south is very disruptive to the original historic view (farmland) It is currently
under intense development for a ldquoMaster Planned Communityrdquo and no longer retains any of its
original rural agricultural aspect
The view to the west includes a moderately rolling hill topography (existing associated
farmlands) and Highway 410 A large earth berm sits directly behind (west) of 11098 Dixie
Road The berm and Highway 410 impact the original rural agricultural character of the two
properties
The view to the north includes a very busy Mayfield Road which has been widened from its
original two lane configuration and farmland This view retains a more historical aspect of
farmlands and a mid-Victorian two storey brick residence

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

There is a small metal clad garage located at the end of the driveway that sits southwest of the
residence Photograph 26 illustrates the garage
Photograph 26 Garage to Southwest of House
There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

7 I 2-13the turn of the twentieth century By February 1905 it was in the hands of Thomas and
Thaddeus Ingoldsby (Chinguacousy Abstract Index volume ldquoBrdquo p 140) The 1877 Atlas showed that this corner of the lot contained an inn as well as a house barn and orchardsrdquo
Appendix B presents the abstract index for the property Land registry records are principally
records for the transference and amounts paid for said transference of lands
Structures are indicated on this lot in the area of the inn (not the extant structure of this study) on
the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting early settlement in the area The same structure and the
extant structure of this study area are indicated on the 1877 Illustrated Historic Atlas map The
1877 map indicates ownership by Thomas Ingoldsby and the abstract index suggests that he
owned that portion of the property in 1854 It can be assumed that he built the structure
sometime between 1854 and 1877 Early settlement structures did not tend to be substantial so
the presence of a field stone house situated near the crossroads of Mayfield is a direct reflection
of status and wealth of the early owners
Instrument No 55739 is the probate of the last will and testament of George Gray identified as
a yeoman The instrument number is January 12 1909 however the will actually dated August th
30 1908 Fifty acres of land from Lot 16 Concession 3 EHS was bequeathed to his son
Joseph Gray and the remainder was bequeathed equally to the remaining sons and daughters
without specifying amounts or what the assets actually entailed
There were no structures indicated on this lot in the 1859 Tremaine map ndash suggesting the family
had a homestead on other lands However by 1877 the Illustrated Historic Atlas does depict
structures which suggests that the extant house dates sometime between 1860 and 1877

40 PROCESS amp POLICIES FOR HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
(HIA)
41 Applicable Heritage Policies
The conservation of cultural heritage properties is governed at the provincial level by the Ontario
Heritage Act RSO 1990 with amendments up to 2006 (OHA) (Government of Ontario 2006)
and Section 26 Cultural Heritage and Archaeology of the Provincial Policy Statement of the
Planning Act 2005 (PPS) The PPS Policy 263 is a recent policy which incorporated a
requirement for an impact assessment on adjacent heritage resources
ldquoDevelopment and site alteration may be permitted on adjacent lands to protected heritage property where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been
demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conservedrdquo
These two provincial pieces of legislation the OHA and PPS have been incorporated into the
heritage policies of the City of Brampton But the PPS regulation does not specifically apply to
these properties since they have not been designated under the OHA and hence by definition is
not a ldquoprotected heritage propertyrdquo under this legislation
Instead the applicable municipal legislation governing these properties would be the Brampton
Official Plan 1993 which establishes the requirement of an HIA as follows
49210 The City may request the preparation of a heritage impact statement when any conduction development or property alteration might adversely affect [sic] a listed or designated property or a property adjacent to such a property
The format and content of the HIA are described in the Ministry of Culture Ontario Heritage
Tool Kit (Ontario Ministry of Culture 2006) and also analogous to the provincial standards in
the City‟s Guidelines for Preparing Heritage Impact Assessment (Leonard 2008) These content
requirements are incorporated into the sections below except for some changes to section titles
for relevance to the subject properties and project
42 Process for Determining Heritage Value
Each property listed on the City‟s Heritage Inventory is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria
(Government of Ontario 2006) and in the case of Brampton further developed with a specific
municipal scoring system Brampton‟s Criteria of Heritage Value (Leonard 2007) The
provincial criteria categories will be used in section 7 titled ldquoHeritage Inventory amp Evaluation of Heritage Elementsrdquo to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject properties
Each property listed on the Town‟s Heritage Register is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value (Government of Ontario 2006) The provincial criteria
12 I 2-18categories will be used in the subsequent sections of this report to evaluate the heritage
significance of the subject properties according to Table 1
Table 1 Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value
OHA O Reg 906 Categories
OHA Criteria for Heritage Value
Design or Physical Value
The property has design value or physical value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit or Demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement
Historical or Associative Value
The property has historical value or associative value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Yields or has the potential to yield information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture or Demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect artists builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
Contextual Value The property has contextual value because it Is important in defining maintaining or supporting the character of an area Is physically functionally visually or historically linked to its surroundings or Is a landmark
13 I 2-19
50 ASSESSMENT OF PRINCIPAL BUILDING COMPONENTS
The property was identified by ASI (2008) during the cultural heritage assessment of a larger
geographic area The property was recommended for additional heritage evaluation The
property is presented below (Figure 5) as described by ASI during the field season of 2007 and
from the 2008 report (200860 64-65)
None of the interiors of any of the property formed part of the cultural heritage assessment
conducted by ASI
51 Surrounding Areas
SJAHCE and AREA Architects conducted a field visit of the exterior and interior of both
properties on March 1st 2010 The study area was bounded to the east by Dixie Road to the
north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 and to the south by Countryside Road A
dewatering program was underway along Dixie Road during the field visit The view to the east
remained relatively unchanged by ldquomodernrdquo development consisting of an old school building
with a date stone of 1872 [now demolished] located at the northeast corner of Dixie and
Countryside Roads In addition there were two residences (11623 and 11575 Dixie Road) which
were considered to date between the 1950s and 1960s There was also a farm complex located at
1115 Dixie Road known as Grey Haven Farms
The view to the south is very disruptive to the original historic view (farmland) It is currently
under intense development for a ldquoMaster Planned Communityrdquo and no longer retains any of its
original rural agricultural aspect
The view to the west includes a moderately rolling hill topography (existing associated
farmlands) and Highway 410 A large earth berm sits directly behind (west) of 11098 Dixie
Road The berm and Highway 410 impact the original rural agricultural character of the two
properties
The view to the north includes a very busy Mayfield Road which has been widened from its
original two lane configuration and farmland This view retains a more historical aspect of
farmlands and a mid-Victorian two storey brick residence

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24
Photograph 24 Rough Framed Shed
At the rear of the residence near the north side of the house is another rough shed (Photograph

There is a small metal clad garage located at the end of the driveway that sits southwest of the
residence Photograph 26 illustrates the garage
Photograph 26 Garage to Southwest of House
There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

40 PROCESS amp POLICIES FOR HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
(HIA)
41 Applicable Heritage Policies
The conservation of cultural heritage properties is governed at the provincial level by the Ontario
Heritage Act RSO 1990 with amendments up to 2006 (OHA) (Government of Ontario 2006)
and Section 26 Cultural Heritage and Archaeology of the Provincial Policy Statement of the
Planning Act 2005 (PPS) The PPS Policy 263 is a recent policy which incorporated a
requirement for an impact assessment on adjacent heritage resources
ldquoDevelopment and site alteration may be permitted on adjacent lands to protected heritage property where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been
demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conservedrdquo
These two provincial pieces of legislation the OHA and PPS have been incorporated into the
heritage policies of the City of Brampton But the PPS regulation does not specifically apply to
these properties since they have not been designated under the OHA and hence by definition is
not a ldquoprotected heritage propertyrdquo under this legislation
Instead the applicable municipal legislation governing these properties would be the Brampton
Official Plan 1993 which establishes the requirement of an HIA as follows
49210 The City may request the preparation of a heritage impact statement when any conduction development or property alteration might adversely affect [sic] a listed or designated property or a property adjacent to such a property
The format and content of the HIA are described in the Ministry of Culture Ontario Heritage
Tool Kit (Ontario Ministry of Culture 2006) and also analogous to the provincial standards in
the City‟s Guidelines for Preparing Heritage Impact Assessment (Leonard 2008) These content
requirements are incorporated into the sections below except for some changes to section titles
for relevance to the subject properties and project
42 Process for Determining Heritage Value
Each property listed on the City‟s Heritage Inventory is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria
(Government of Ontario 2006) and in the case of Brampton further developed with a specific
municipal scoring system Brampton‟s Criteria of Heritage Value (Leonard 2007) The
provincial criteria categories will be used in section 7 titled ldquoHeritage Inventory amp Evaluation of Heritage Elementsrdquo to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject properties
Each property listed on the Town‟s Heritage Register is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value (Government of Ontario 2006) The provincial criteria
12 I 2-18categories will be used in the subsequent sections of this report to evaluate the heritage
significance of the subject properties according to Table 1
Table 1 Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value
OHA O Reg 906 Categories
OHA Criteria for Heritage Value
Design or Physical Value
The property has design value or physical value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit or Demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement
Historical or Associative Value
The property has historical value or associative value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Yields or has the potential to yield information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture or Demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect artists builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
Contextual Value The property has contextual value because it Is important in defining maintaining or supporting the character of an area Is physically functionally visually or historically linked to its surroundings or Is a landmark
13 I 2-19
50 ASSESSMENT OF PRINCIPAL BUILDING COMPONENTS
The property was identified by ASI (2008) during the cultural heritage assessment of a larger
geographic area The property was recommended for additional heritage evaluation The
property is presented below (Figure 5) as described by ASI during the field season of 2007 and
from the 2008 report (200860 64-65)
None of the interiors of any of the property formed part of the cultural heritage assessment
conducted by ASI
51 Surrounding Areas
SJAHCE and AREA Architects conducted a field visit of the exterior and interior of both
properties on March 1st 2010 The study area was bounded to the east by Dixie Road to the
north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 and to the south by Countryside Road A
dewatering program was underway along Dixie Road during the field visit The view to the east
remained relatively unchanged by ldquomodernrdquo development consisting of an old school building
with a date stone of 1872 [now demolished] located at the northeast corner of Dixie and
Countryside Roads In addition there were two residences (11623 and 11575 Dixie Road) which
were considered to date between the 1950s and 1960s There was also a farm complex located at
1115 Dixie Road known as Grey Haven Farms
The view to the south is very disruptive to the original historic view (farmland) It is currently
under intense development for a ldquoMaster Planned Communityrdquo and no longer retains any of its
original rural agricultural aspect
The view to the west includes a moderately rolling hill topography (existing associated
farmlands) and Highway 410 A large earth berm sits directly behind (west) of 11098 Dixie
Road The berm and Highway 410 impact the original rural agricultural character of the two
properties
The view to the north includes a very busy Mayfield Road which has been widened from its
original two lane configuration and farmland This view retains a more historical aspect of
farmlands and a mid-Victorian two storey brick residence

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24
Photograph 24 Rough Framed Shed
At the rear of the residence near the north side of the house is another rough shed (Photograph

There is a small metal clad garage located at the end of the driveway that sits southwest of the
residence Photograph 26 illustrates the garage
Photograph 26 Garage to Southwest of House
There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

40 PROCESS amp POLICIES FOR HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
(HIA)
41 Applicable Heritage Policies
The conservation of cultural heritage properties is governed at the provincial level by the Ontario
Heritage Act RSO 1990 with amendments up to 2006 (OHA) (Government of Ontario 2006)
and Section 26 Cultural Heritage and Archaeology of the Provincial Policy Statement of the
Planning Act 2005 (PPS) The PPS Policy 263 is a recent policy which incorporated a
requirement for an impact assessment on adjacent heritage resources
ldquoDevelopment and site alteration may be permitted on adjacent lands to protected heritage property where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been
demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conservedrdquo
These two provincial pieces of legislation the OHA and PPS have been incorporated into the
heritage policies of the City of Brampton But the PPS regulation does not specifically apply to
these properties since they have not been designated under the OHA and hence by definition is
not a ldquoprotected heritage propertyrdquo under this legislation
Instead the applicable municipal legislation governing these properties would be the Brampton
Official Plan 1993 which establishes the requirement of an HIA as follows
49210 The City may request the preparation of a heritage impact statement when any conduction development or property alteration might adversely affect [sic] a listed or designated property or a property adjacent to such a property
The format and content of the HIA are described in the Ministry of Culture Ontario Heritage
Tool Kit (Ontario Ministry of Culture 2006) and also analogous to the provincial standards in
the City‟s Guidelines for Preparing Heritage Impact Assessment (Leonard 2008) These content
requirements are incorporated into the sections below except for some changes to section titles
for relevance to the subject properties and project
42 Process for Determining Heritage Value
Each property listed on the City‟s Heritage Inventory is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria
(Government of Ontario 2006) and in the case of Brampton further developed with a specific
municipal scoring system Brampton‟s Criteria of Heritage Value (Leonard 2007) The
provincial criteria categories will be used in section 7 titled ldquoHeritage Inventory amp Evaluation of Heritage Elementsrdquo to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject properties
Each property listed on the Town‟s Heritage Register is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value (Government of Ontario 2006) The provincial criteria
12 I 2-18categories will be used in the subsequent sections of this report to evaluate the heritage
significance of the subject properties according to Table 1
Table 1 Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value
OHA O Reg 906 Categories
OHA Criteria for Heritage Value
Design or Physical Value
The property has design value or physical value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit or Demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement
Historical or Associative Value
The property has historical value or associative value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Yields or has the potential to yield information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture or Demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect artists builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
Contextual Value The property has contextual value because it Is important in defining maintaining or supporting the character of an area Is physically functionally visually or historically linked to its surroundings or Is a landmark
13 I 2-19
50 ASSESSMENT OF PRINCIPAL BUILDING COMPONENTS
The property was identified by ASI (2008) during the cultural heritage assessment of a larger
geographic area The property was recommended for additional heritage evaluation The
property is presented below (Figure 5) as described by ASI during the field season of 2007 and
from the 2008 report (200860 64-65)
None of the interiors of any of the property formed part of the cultural heritage assessment
conducted by ASI
51 Surrounding Areas
SJAHCE and AREA Architects conducted a field visit of the exterior and interior of both
properties on March 1st 2010 The study area was bounded to the east by Dixie Road to the
north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 and to the south by Countryside Road A
dewatering program was underway along Dixie Road during the field visit The view to the east
remained relatively unchanged by ldquomodernrdquo development consisting of an old school building
with a date stone of 1872 [now demolished] located at the northeast corner of Dixie and
Countryside Roads In addition there were two residences (11623 and 11575 Dixie Road) which
were considered to date between the 1950s and 1960s There was also a farm complex located at
1115 Dixie Road known as Grey Haven Farms
The view to the south is very disruptive to the original historic view (farmland) It is currently
under intense development for a ldquoMaster Planned Communityrdquo and no longer retains any of its
original rural agricultural aspect
The view to the west includes a moderately rolling hill topography (existing associated
farmlands) and Highway 410 A large earth berm sits directly behind (west) of 11098 Dixie
Road The berm and Highway 410 impact the original rural agricultural character of the two
properties
The view to the north includes a very busy Mayfield Road which has been widened from its
original two lane configuration and farmland This view retains a more historical aspect of
farmlands and a mid-Victorian two storey brick residence

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24
Photograph 24 Rough Framed Shed
At the rear of the residence near the north side of the house is another rough shed (Photograph

There is a small metal clad garage located at the end of the driveway that sits southwest of the
residence Photograph 26 illustrates the garage
Photograph 26 Garage to Southwest of House
There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

40 PROCESS amp POLICIES FOR HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
(HIA)
41 Applicable Heritage Policies
The conservation of cultural heritage properties is governed at the provincial level by the Ontario
Heritage Act RSO 1990 with amendments up to 2006 (OHA) (Government of Ontario 2006)
and Section 26 Cultural Heritage and Archaeology of the Provincial Policy Statement of the
Planning Act 2005 (PPS) The PPS Policy 263 is a recent policy which incorporated a
requirement for an impact assessment on adjacent heritage resources
ldquoDevelopment and site alteration may be permitted on adjacent lands to protected heritage property where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been
demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conservedrdquo
These two provincial pieces of legislation the OHA and PPS have been incorporated into the
heritage policies of the City of Brampton But the PPS regulation does not specifically apply to
these properties since they have not been designated under the OHA and hence by definition is
not a ldquoprotected heritage propertyrdquo under this legislation
Instead the applicable municipal legislation governing these properties would be the Brampton
Official Plan 1993 which establishes the requirement of an HIA as follows
49210 The City may request the preparation of a heritage impact statement when any conduction development or property alteration might adversely affect [sic] a listed or designated property or a property adjacent to such a property
The format and content of the HIA are described in the Ministry of Culture Ontario Heritage
Tool Kit (Ontario Ministry of Culture 2006) and also analogous to the provincial standards in
the City‟s Guidelines for Preparing Heritage Impact Assessment (Leonard 2008) These content
requirements are incorporated into the sections below except for some changes to section titles
for relevance to the subject properties and project
42 Process for Determining Heritage Value
Each property listed on the City‟s Heritage Inventory is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria
(Government of Ontario 2006) and in the case of Brampton further developed with a specific
municipal scoring system Brampton‟s Criteria of Heritage Value (Leonard 2007) The
provincial criteria categories will be used in section 7 titled ldquoHeritage Inventory amp Evaluation of Heritage Elementsrdquo to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject properties
Each property listed on the Town‟s Heritage Register is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value (Government of Ontario 2006) The provincial criteria
12 I 2-18categories will be used in the subsequent sections of this report to evaluate the heritage
significance of the subject properties according to Table 1
Table 1 Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value
OHA O Reg 906 Categories
OHA Criteria for Heritage Value
Design or Physical Value
The property has design value or physical value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit or Demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement
Historical or Associative Value
The property has historical value or associative value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Yields or has the potential to yield information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture or Demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect artists builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
Contextual Value The property has contextual value because it Is important in defining maintaining or supporting the character of an area Is physically functionally visually or historically linked to its surroundings or Is a landmark
13 I 2-19
50 ASSESSMENT OF PRINCIPAL BUILDING COMPONENTS
The property was identified by ASI (2008) during the cultural heritage assessment of a larger
geographic area The property was recommended for additional heritage evaluation The
property is presented below (Figure 5) as described by ASI during the field season of 2007 and
from the 2008 report (200860 64-65)
None of the interiors of any of the property formed part of the cultural heritage assessment
conducted by ASI
51 Surrounding Areas
SJAHCE and AREA Architects conducted a field visit of the exterior and interior of both
properties on March 1st 2010 The study area was bounded to the east by Dixie Road to the
north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 and to the south by Countryside Road A
dewatering program was underway along Dixie Road during the field visit The view to the east
remained relatively unchanged by ldquomodernrdquo development consisting of an old school building
with a date stone of 1872 [now demolished] located at the northeast corner of Dixie and
Countryside Roads In addition there were two residences (11623 and 11575 Dixie Road) which
were considered to date between the 1950s and 1960s There was also a farm complex located at
1115 Dixie Road known as Grey Haven Farms
The view to the south is very disruptive to the original historic view (farmland) It is currently
under intense development for a ldquoMaster Planned Communityrdquo and no longer retains any of its
original rural agricultural aspect
The view to the west includes a moderately rolling hill topography (existing associated
farmlands) and Highway 410 A large earth berm sits directly behind (west) of 11098 Dixie
Road The berm and Highway 410 impact the original rural agricultural character of the two
properties
The view to the north includes a very busy Mayfield Road which has been widened from its
original two lane configuration and farmland This view retains a more historical aspect of
farmlands and a mid-Victorian two storey brick residence

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24
Photograph 24 Rough Framed Shed
At the rear of the residence near the north side of the house is another rough shed (Photograph

There is a small metal clad garage located at the end of the driveway that sits southwest of the
residence Photograph 26 illustrates the garage
Photograph 26 Garage to Southwest of House
There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

40 PROCESS amp POLICIES FOR HERITAGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT
(HIA)
41 Applicable Heritage Policies
The conservation of cultural heritage properties is governed at the provincial level by the Ontario
Heritage Act RSO 1990 with amendments up to 2006 (OHA) (Government of Ontario 2006)
and Section 26 Cultural Heritage and Archaeology of the Provincial Policy Statement of the
Planning Act 2005 (PPS) The PPS Policy 263 is a recent policy which incorporated a
requirement for an impact assessment on adjacent heritage resources
ldquoDevelopment and site alteration may be permitted on adjacent lands to protected heritage property where the proposed development and site alteration has been evaluated and it has been
demonstrated that the heritage attributes of the protected heritage property will be conservedrdquo
These two provincial pieces of legislation the OHA and PPS have been incorporated into the
heritage policies of the City of Brampton But the PPS regulation does not specifically apply to
these properties since they have not been designated under the OHA and hence by definition is
not a ldquoprotected heritage propertyrdquo under this legislation
Instead the applicable municipal legislation governing these properties would be the Brampton
Official Plan 1993 which establishes the requirement of an HIA as follows
49210 The City may request the preparation of a heritage impact statement when any conduction development or property alteration might adversely affect [sic] a listed or designated property or a property adjacent to such a property
The format and content of the HIA are described in the Ministry of Culture Ontario Heritage
Tool Kit (Ontario Ministry of Culture 2006) and also analogous to the provincial standards in
the City‟s Guidelines for Preparing Heritage Impact Assessment (Leonard 2008) These content
requirements are incorporated into the sections below except for some changes to section titles
for relevance to the subject properties and project
42 Process for Determining Heritage Value
Each property listed on the City‟s Heritage Inventory is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria
(Government of Ontario 2006) and in the case of Brampton further developed with a specific
municipal scoring system Brampton‟s Criteria of Heritage Value (Leonard 2007) The
provincial criteria categories will be used in section 7 titled ldquoHeritage Inventory amp Evaluation of Heritage Elementsrdquo to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject properties
Each property listed on the Town‟s Heritage Register is graded by assigning points under a set of heritage attributes which are derived from the provincial Ontario Heritage Act Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value (Government of Ontario 2006) The provincial criteria
12 I 2-18categories will be used in the subsequent sections of this report to evaluate the heritage
significance of the subject properties according to Table 1
Table 1 Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value
OHA O Reg 906 Categories
OHA Criteria for Heritage Value
Design or Physical Value
The property has design value or physical value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit or Demonstrates a high degree of technical or scientific achievement
Historical or Associative Value
The property has historical value or associative value because it Is a rare unique representative or early example of a style type expression material or construction method Yields or has the potential to yield information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture or Demonstrates or reflects the work or ideas of an architect artists builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
Contextual Value The property has contextual value because it Is important in defining maintaining or supporting the character of an area Is physically functionally visually or historically linked to its surroundings or Is a landmark
13 I 2-19
50 ASSESSMENT OF PRINCIPAL BUILDING COMPONENTS
The property was identified by ASI (2008) during the cultural heritage assessment of a larger
geographic area The property was recommended for additional heritage evaluation The
property is presented below (Figure 5) as described by ASI during the field season of 2007 and
from the 2008 report (200860 64-65)
None of the interiors of any of the property formed part of the cultural heritage assessment
conducted by ASI
51 Surrounding Areas
SJAHCE and AREA Architects conducted a field visit of the exterior and interior of both
properties on March 1st 2010 The study area was bounded to the east by Dixie Road to the
north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 and to the south by Countryside Road A
dewatering program was underway along Dixie Road during the field visit The view to the east
remained relatively unchanged by ldquomodernrdquo development consisting of an old school building
with a date stone of 1872 [now demolished] located at the northeast corner of Dixie and
Countryside Roads In addition there were two residences (11623 and 11575 Dixie Road) which
were considered to date between the 1950s and 1960s There was also a farm complex located at
1115 Dixie Road known as Grey Haven Farms
The view to the south is very disruptive to the original historic view (farmland) It is currently
under intense development for a ldquoMaster Planned Communityrdquo and no longer retains any of its
original rural agricultural aspect
The view to the west includes a moderately rolling hill topography (existing associated
farmlands) and Highway 410 A large earth berm sits directly behind (west) of 11098 Dixie
Road The berm and Highway 410 impact the original rural agricultural character of the two
properties
The view to the north includes a very busy Mayfield Road which has been widened from its
original two lane configuration and farmland This view retains a more historical aspect of
farmlands and a mid-Victorian two storey brick residence

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24
Photograph 24 Rough Framed Shed
At the rear of the residence near the north side of the house is another rough shed (Photograph

32 I 2-38Shed at Rear of the House
There is a small metal clad garage located at the end of the driveway that sits southwest of the
residence Photograph 26 illustrates the garage
Photograph 26 Garage to Southwest of House
There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

50 ASSESSMENT OF PRINCIPAL BUILDING COMPONENTS
The property was identified by ASI (2008) during the cultural heritage assessment of a larger
geographic area The property was recommended for additional heritage evaluation The
property is presented below (Figure 5) as described by ASI during the field season of 2007 and
from the 2008 report (200860 64-65)
None of the interiors of any of the property formed part of the cultural heritage assessment
conducted by ASI
51 Surrounding Areas
SJAHCE and AREA Architects conducted a field visit of the exterior and interior of both
properties on March 1st 2010 The study area was bounded to the east by Dixie Road to the
north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 and to the south by Countryside Road A
dewatering program was underway along Dixie Road during the field visit The view to the east
remained relatively unchanged by ldquomodernrdquo development consisting of an old school building
with a date stone of 1872 [now demolished] located at the northeast corner of Dixie and
Countryside Roads In addition there were two residences (11623 and 11575 Dixie Road) which
were considered to date between the 1950s and 1960s There was also a farm complex located at
1115 Dixie Road known as Grey Haven Farms
The view to the south is very disruptive to the original historic view (farmland) It is currently
under intense development for a ldquoMaster Planned Communityrdquo and no longer retains any of its
original rural agricultural aspect
The view to the west includes a moderately rolling hill topography (existing associated
farmlands) and Highway 410 A large earth berm sits directly behind (west) of 11098 Dixie
Road The berm and Highway 410 impact the original rural agricultural character of the two
properties
The view to the north includes a very busy Mayfield Road which has been widened from its
original two lane configuration and farmland This view retains a more historical aspect of
farmlands and a mid-Victorian two storey brick residence

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

26 I 2-32
Photograph 16 Second Floor Windows
Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Return Eaves

Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave
Photograph 20 Verandah
29 I 2-35
Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure
44
I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

Municipal Address
11098 Dixie Road
11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

50 ASSESSMENT OF PRINCIPAL BUILDING COMPONENTS
The property was identified by ASI (2008) during the cultural heritage assessment of a larger
geographic area The property was recommended for additional heritage evaluation The
property is presented below (Figure 5) as described by ASI during the field season of 2007 and
from the 2008 report (200860 64-65)
None of the interiors of any of the property formed part of the cultural heritage assessment
conducted by ASI
51 Surrounding Areas
SJAHCE and AREA Architects conducted a field visit of the exterior and interior of both
properties on March 1st 2010 The study area was bounded to the east by Dixie Road to the
north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 and to the south by Countryside Road A
dewatering program was underway along Dixie Road during the field visit The view to the east
remained relatively unchanged by ldquomodernrdquo development consisting of an old school building
with a date stone of 1872 [now demolished] located at the northeast corner of Dixie and
Countryside Roads In addition there were two residences (11623 and 11575 Dixie Road) which
were considered to date between the 1950s and 1960s There was also a farm complex located at
1115 Dixie Road known as Grey Haven Farms
The view to the south is very disruptive to the original historic view (farmland) It is currently
under intense development for a ldquoMaster Planned Communityrdquo and no longer retains any of its
original rural agricultural aspect
The view to the west includes a moderately rolling hill topography (existing associated
farmlands) and Highway 410 A large earth berm sits directly behind (west) of 11098 Dixie
Road The berm and Highway 410 impact the original rural agricultural character of the two
properties
The view to the north includes a very busy Mayfield Road which has been widened from its
original two lane configuration and farmland This view retains a more historical aspect of
farmlands and a mid-Victorian two storey brick residence

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group
Photograph 15 Original Front Wing of House ndash Modified Windows
26 I 2-32
Photograph 16 Second Floor Windows
Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Return Eaves
28 I 2-34
Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave
Photograph 20 Verandah
29 I 2-35
Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels

The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure
44
I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road
11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group
Photograph 15 Original Front Wing of House ndash Modified Windows
26 I 2-32
Photograph 16 Second Floor Windows
Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Return Eaves
28 I 2-34
Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave
Photograph 20 Verandah
29 I 2-35
Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure
44
I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

Photograph 16 Second Floor Windows
Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Return Eaves

Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave
Photograph 20 Verandah
29 I 2-35
Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family

11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24
Photograph 24 Rough Framed Shed
At the rear of the residence near the north side of the house is another rough shed (Photograph

There is a small metal clad garage located at the end of the driveway that sits southwest of the
residence Photograph 26 illustrates the garage
Photograph 26 Garage to Southwest of House
There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

Municipal Address
11098 Dixie Road
11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group
Photograph 15 Original Front Wing of House ndash Modified Windows
26 I 2-32
Photograph 16 Second Floor Windows
Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Return Eaves

Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave
Photograph 20 Verandah
29 I 2-35
Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

59 Outbuildings

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

At the rear of the residence near the north side of the house is another rough shed (Photograph

There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure
44
I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road
11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

53 FoundationsBasement
531 Construction
The foundations are constructed in two parts in accordance with the phases of the house The two
basement portions are almost separate except of an opening at the south end of the shared wall
(which is the rearwest foundation of the front and earlier portion of the house) The rear (west)
basement is currently accessed directly from the exterior by means of stairs and an outside door
which are contained within concrete retaining walls (Photograph 5) The basement used to have
access from an interior stair which is still visible but with the ground floor opening closed up
(Photograph 6) This stair also accesses the rear basement so the front basement curiously does
not have a separate access which would have been expected to serve the original house before
the later addition Instead a pre-existing access to the basement is found in a trap door in the
floor of the present living room (Photograph 7) which was used to transport produce to the
basement for storage This basement condition (trapdoor) accords with the history of this
building being a relocated store discussed elsewhere in this report The front (east) foundation
has a perimeter fieldstone wall comprised of large boulders and almost fully parged The
foundations carry the ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards
(Photograph 8) The logs suggest a construction date earlier than the 1859 Tremaine Map not yet
showing this house and therefore are also consistent with the relocation of a building constructed
earlier in the century The rear (west) foundation is clearly a later addition exhibiting smaller
stones in the perimeter wall without a consistent parged finish (Photograph 9) and framing of the
floor above comprising a combination of milled joists 2x8s and lathed round members the
latter appearing to be electrical poles (Photograph 10) Throughout the two foundation areas the
floor is simply dirt which does not provide any structural bracing to the perimeter walls Both
foundations are of a nineteenth century construction but with a span of time between them The
front log floor structure appears to represent pre-1850 construction although the stone
foundations were built after 1859 to receive the relocated building The rear foundations could
be dated later in the century possibly with reinforcement in the early twentieth century

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group
Photograph 15 Original Front Wing of House ndash Modified Windows
26 I 2-32
Photograph 16 Second Floor Windows
Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Return Eaves

Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave
Photograph 20 Verandah
29 I 2-35
Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial

40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group
Photograph 15 Original Front Wing of House ndash Modified Windows
26 I 2-32
Photograph 16 Second Floor Windows
Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave
Photograph 20 Verandah
29 I 2-35
Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24
Photograph 24 Rough Framed Shed
At the rear of the residence near the north side of the house is another rough shed (Photograph

There is a small metal clad garage located at the end of the driveway that sits southwest of the
residence Photograph 26 illustrates the garage
Photograph 26 Garage to Southwest of House
There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO

technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group
Photograph 15 Original Front Wing of House ndash Modified Windows
26 I 2-32
Photograph 16 Second Floor Windows
Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Return Eaves

Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave
Photograph 20 Verandah
29 I 2-35
Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most

35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure
44
I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

Municipal Address
11098 Dixie Road
11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

22 I 2-28
532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group
Photograph 15 Original Front Wing of House ndash Modified Windows
26 I 2-32
Photograph 16 Second Floor Windows
Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Return Eaves
28 I 2-34
Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave
Photograph 20 Verandah
29 I 2-35
Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial

40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

532 Current Condition
The foundations are in poor condition and not feasible for reuse The headroom is limited with a
clear height of approximately 6 ft (18 m) which could not be adapted to a basement without
very costly underpinning Such extensive new footing work should only be contemplated if the
existing foundation walls are sufficiently stable to withstand such an intervention Although the
interior face of the stone foundations cannot be visibly assessed because of their parging the
exterior masonry base exhibits severe deterioration with large gaps and missing mortar such that
it appears loose-laid (Photograph 11)

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group
Photograph 15 Original Front Wing of House ndash Modified Windows
26 I 2-32
Photograph 16 Second Floor Windows
Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Return Eaves

Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave
Photograph 20 Verandah
29 I 2-35
Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

59 Outbuildings
591 Description
Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24
Photograph 24 Rough Framed Shed
At the rear of the residence near the north side of the house is another rough shed (Photograph

There is a small metal clad garage located at the end of the driveway that sits southwest of the
residence Photograph 26 illustrates the garage
Photograph 26 Garage to Southwest of House
There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road
11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

54 Exterior Wall
541 Construction
The exterior wall above the foundations is constructed of wood stud framing and originally wood
siding Although the house perimeter was not fully open at any locations a rear (west) wall of
the original front wing was visible inside above the stair opening to the second floor (Photograph
12) This wall became interior when the rear wing was added around the late nineteenth century
and therefore is indicative of the exterior wall construction throughout This wall opening shows
wood studs of approximately 2x6 on a plate of the same depth with interior and exterior wood
board sheathing Gaps in the aluminum cladding at several locations also reveals the wood
framing at the sill plate above the stone foundation (Photograph 13) and probably original wood
siding (Photograph 14)

Photograph 13 Wood Framing Above Sill Plate Above Foundation
Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group
Photograph 15 Original Front Wing of House ndash Modified Windows
26 I 2-32
Photograph 16 Second Floor Windows
Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave
Photograph 20 Verandah
29 I 2-35
Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

59 Outbuildings
591 Description
Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

At the rear of the residence near the north side of the house is another rough shed (Photograph

residence Photograph 26 illustrates the garage
Photograph 26 Garage to Southwest of House
There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a

60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure
44
I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

METRUS Development Inc
Municipal Address
11098 Dixie Road
11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

Photograph 14 Original Wood Siding Visible Beneath Cladding
25 I 2-31
542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group
Photograph 15 Original Front Wing of House ndash Modified Windows
26 I 2-32
Photograph 16 Second Floor Windows
Photograph 17 Only Original Window in Bathroom
27 I 2-33
552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Return Eaves

Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave
Photograph 20 Verandah
29 I 2-35
Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24
Photograph 24 Rough Framed Shed
At the rear of the residence near the north side of the house is another rough shed (Photograph

There is a small metal clad garage located at the end of the driveway that sits southwest of the
residence Photograph 26 illustrates the garage
Photograph 26 Garage to Southwest of House
There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit

41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

542 Current Condition
The exterior walls are in fair to poor condition because they have a tendency to deteriorate from
in-wall moisture The original wood clad walls have been covered with aluminum siding
Besides the diminished heritage integrity of this exterior alteration this modern cladding tends to
further deteriorate an exterior wall To begin
with the original wood siding was likely already deteriorating which led to this re-cladding The
metal cladding was however added on top of the pre-existing wood siding which exacerbated
the causes of wood decay Aluminum siding by itself tends to retain moisture within the wall
cavity causing rot and mold in the wood and its cladding
55 Windows amp Doors
551 Description
Almost all of the original doors and windows have been removed and replaced including in most
cases their accompanying outside frames and casing trim The original windows for the most
part would have been double-hung sashes with some multi-pane division with muntin bars (ie
6-over-6 4-over-4 2-over-2) In the older front wing of the ground floor the windows their
frames and casing trim have been wholly replaced (Photograph 15) On the second floor most of
the windows have been replaced with incompatible double-hung aluminum slider-type sashes
within the retained opening frames casings and sills (Photograph 16) Only one window appears
to be original in the washroom of the rear addition (Photograph 17) which would be part of the
later nineteenth century construction is a casement type and is neither remarkable nor a unique
representative for the non-extant original windows as a group

552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24
Photograph 24 Rough Framed Shed
At the rear of the residence near the north side of the house is another rough shed (Photograph

There is a small metal clad garage located at the end of the driveway that sits southwest of the
residence Photograph 26 illustrates the garage
Photograph 26 Garage to Southwest of House
There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

METRUS Development Inc
Municipal Address
11098 Dixie Road
11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters

Return Eaves
28 I 2-34
Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave
Photograph 20 Verandah
29 I 2-35
Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

59 Outbuildings
591 Description
Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24
Photograph 24 Rough Framed Shed
At the rear of the residence near the north side of the house is another rough shed (Photograph
25) Also visible in the photograph is the in ground pool

32 I 2-38Shed at Rear of the House
There is a small metal clad garage located at the end of the driveway that sits southwest of the
residence Photograph 26 illustrates the garage
Photograph 26 Garage to Southwest of House
There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure
44
I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

552 Current Condition
The condition of these existing exterior windows and doors is immaterial because they are not
original and low quality replacements It can be noted nevertheless that they all require storm
windows and in the bedrooms are covered with plastic attesting to the poor thermal resistance
of the building envelope
56 Roof and Eaves
The roof cladding is corrugated metal and probably a twentieth century replacement of the
original roofing The only distinctive feature of the roof is its return eaves on its side gable ends
(Photograph 18) With the addition the north wall of the house only has one remaining return
eave (Photograph 19)
57 Front Verandah
The entry porch may have been added on when the front porch of the house the former store
was relocated to this site Although quite deteriorated now this verandah (Photograph 20) was
at one time a distinctive design feature which incorporated several decorative elements
including
A hipped roof A dentillated fascia (Photograph 21) Round pilasters incorporating ogee and other molding shapes (Photographs 11 and 13)
capped by square capitals with moldings and
Original wood columns at the front no longer extant but presumably matching the
existing pilasters
Photograph 18
Return Eaves
28 I 2-34
Photograph 19 North Facing Wall ndash One Return Eave
Photograph 20 Verandah
29 I 2-35
Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

59 Outbuildings
591 Description
Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24
Photograph 24 Rough Framed Shed
At the rear of the residence near the north side of the house is another rough shed (Photograph
25) Also visible in the photograph is the in ground pool
Photograph 25
32 I 2-38Shed at Rear of the House
There is a small metal clad garage located at the end of the driveway that sits southwest of the
residence Photograph 26 illustrates the garage
Photograph 26 Garage to Southwest of House
There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

None of the outbuildings are considered to exhibit heritage value
510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

Photograph 20 Verandah
29 I 2-35
Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

Photograph 21 Dentillated Fascia
The verandah with only vestiges remaining suggests an Italianate style which is incompatible
with and clearly a later addition to the vernacular main structure This porch is considerably
compromised by its deterioration and also the loss of several of its original elements as follows
30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24
Photograph 24 Rough Framed Shed
At the rear of the residence near the north side of the house is another rough shed (Photograph

There is a small metal clad garage located at the end of the driveway that sits southwest of the
residence Photograph 26 illustrates the garage

There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

Municipal Address
11098 Dixie Road
11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

30 I 2-36The turned decorative columns at the front would have matched the extant pilasters
(Photographs 11 and 13) but have been replaced with utilitarian unornamented pressure-
treated posts (Photographs 20 and 21)
The porch floor deck (Photograph 13) is missing exposing the dirt base
The steps up to the deck and a balustrade for these steps and if it existed around the
entire deck are also nonexistent
This porch represents a distinctive architectural element on the house exterior and therefore the
loss of its integrity diminishes the heritage value of the building as a whole
58 Interior Doors and Wood Trim
Although the original exterior doors and their casing trim have been removed and replaced the
rear wing of the house contains interior doors and other trim presumably dating from the
construction of this addition Pairs of door openings are symmetrically located on three of the
walls of the ground floor rear kitchen wing (Photographs 22 and 23) The north wall openings
contain five-panel doors (Photograph 23) which appear to be original dating from the late
nineteenth century The door frame is fluted and intersects at the top corners in squares incised
with rondels This kitchen also incorporates other wood trim with a matching stain finish in
wainscoting crown moulding a ceiling of tongue-in-groove siding and decorative brackets at the
ceiling corners (Photograph 23) This interior wood trim is notable but the rear wing being a
later addition is not as significant to the property history

building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming

Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure
44
I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

Immediately to the rear of the residence is a rough framed building of plywood and scrap
material (Photograph 24) This is not considered to have any cultural significance to the original
building The large earth berm is seen in the left corner of Photograph 24

There is a small metal clad garage located at the end of the driveway that sits southwest of the
residence Photograph 26 illustrates the garage
Photograph 26 Garage to Southwest of House
There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most
33 I 2-39northern building is a wood frame construction barn with concrete block foundation (Photograph

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

There are three additional outbuildings associated with the property that are located to the
northwest of the main residence (Photograph 27) These are accessed through a gravel drive
from Dixie Road The buildings (from south to north) consist of a garage for storage of oversize
vehiclesfarm equipment and is a relatively modern construction (Photograph 28) a building
which serves as storage with four large ldquogarage style doorsrdquo (Photograph 29) and the most

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure
44
I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

METRUS Development Inc
Municipal Address
11098 Dixie Road
11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

510 Additional Observations
35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure
44
I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

35 I 2-41The original side entranceway to the addition of the house has been sealed over and converted to
a pantry room Flooring on the main floor of the original house appears to be original thin wood
strips
The house is heated with oil (oil tank on north facing wall Photograph 5) Tenants informed us
that the electrical used to be Nob and tube wiring (common usage between 1880 and 1930) but it
has all been updated
In a conversation with current owner Tim Gray (March 2010) he indicated that he was told by
this father that the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store and was moved to the area In further conversation
with his father Sam Gray (March 2010) the senior Mr Gray was able to confirm that he was
told this also by his father George Gray The store was supposed to have been moved to its
current location in 1900 and the addition built on to it shortly thereafter The trapdoor in the
current living room was apparently used to transport produce to the basement for storage This
trapdoor used to be open all the time and Mr Sam Gray reported his falling through it when he
was two years of age None of this information regarding the former use of the structure or its
being moved can be verified by the Grays
The current tenant informed SJAHCE that the basement filled with between two to four inches of
water every year and that 2010 was the first year this did not happen There is currently a
dewatering program being conducted along Dixie Road which would explain the absence of
water this year
An archaeological assessment of the front and side yards conducted this year by This Land
Archaeology located the foundations of the original structure on the north side of the extant
house
60 CULTURAL HERITAGE LANDSCAPES
36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

METRUS Development Inc
Municipal Address
11098 Dixie Road
11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

36 I 2-42Cultural heritage landscape is defined as
hellip a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human
activities and is valued by a community It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features
such as structures spaces archaeological sites and natural elements which together form a
significant type of heritage form distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts
From the document Guidelines on the Man-Made Heritage Component of Environmental
Assessments (1983) cultural landscapes are defined as
The use and physical appearance of the land as we see it now as a result of man‟s activities over time in modifying pristine landscape for his own purposes A cultural landscape is perceived as
a collection of individual man-made features into a whole Urban cultural landscapes are
sometimes given special names such as townscapes or streetscapes that describe various scales of
perception from the general scene to the particular view
A cultural feature is defined as
hellipan individual part of a cultural landscape that may be focused upon as part of a broader scene or viewed independently The term refers to any man-made or modified object or on the
landhellipsuch as buildings of various types street furniture engineering works plantings and landscaping archaeological sites or a collection of such objects seen as a group because of close
physical or social relationships
61 Land Uses and Activities
The township survey was completed in 1819 The Peel Plain physiographic region provided
soils suitable for agricultural use and its relatively flat topography also made it an ideal location
for farming pursuits Wheat farming was the prominent crop and prices for wheat rose to
remarkable prices and peaked in 1854-55 when crops in Europe failed and the Crimean War cut
off supply to Russian wheat This brought wealth to the farmers of the area
The Reciprocity Treaty with the United States of America in (1854-1865) and the construction
of the railway encouraged farmers to diversify farming pursuits Outbuildings now were built to
accommodate more than just wheat but also livestock During 1854-1865 there was a growth in
barn building to reflect the change in farming
62 Spatial Organization
Samuel Rykman completed the survey of Chinguacousy Township in 1819 He used the double-
front system where the concessions tend to run north-south and every five lots provides a road
allowance for a side road The common unit is the half-lot of 100 acres where the entire lot is
200 acres
Tremaine‟s 1859 map clearly demonstrates the configuration of roadways and the lot is divided
into north and south parcels
37 I 2-43
The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

The study area is bounded to the north by Mayfield Road to the west by Highway 410 to the
south by Countryside Drive and to the east by Dixie Road
Access to farmsteads was typically off of one of the original concession or sideroads via a dirt or
gravel lane Outbuildings were further accessed by a rougher system usually a cart trail
63 Vegetation Related to Land Use
thThe property at 11098 Dixie Road had an orchard in the late 19 century (1877 Historical Atlas
of Peel County) but does not exhibit any evidence of this former orchard Windrows sheltering
the farm lanes are also no longer in evidence although there is one mature tree still extant near
Dixie Road at the location of 11098 Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are present north of Mayfield Road and east of Dixie Road
Agricultural fields are still extant west and north of 11098 Dixie Road although the fields to the
west are obscured by a large earth berm The area to the south has been left to regenerate and is
not being actively farmed
There are stream crossings located in the agricultural fields to the south and west of the property
64 Landscape of 11098 Dixie Road
The landscape around the house is depicted in Figure 6 from a satellite image obtained from
Google Earth (2010) on August 31 2009 Because of the seasonal conditions this imagery was
used in conjunction with the site visit to identify landscape for the property In addition the ASI
(2008) photographs of the property (Figure 5 in this report) were used to assist in the assessment
of landscape Information provided by Jim Leonard City of Brampton also describes the
landscape ldquohellipexisting front yard setback groupings of mature trees and other plantings immediately surrounding the farmhouserdquo
Access to the residence is from Dixie Road along a small paved driveway which has a loop
turnaround A metal clad detached garage sits at the end of the driveway The driveway
includes small ldquodirt coveredrdquo parking areas off the main driveway to accommodate overflow
parking There is a post and wire fence which runs east-west that separates the residence from
the main outbuildings In front of the verandah are seven bushes which when in season hide the
verandah (refer to Figure 6) There are numerous deciduous and coniferous trees that also
appear around the residence but none are considered ldquomaturerdquo to the original residence Along the north side of the house are numerous mature lilac trees and a large apple tree is located at the
southeast corner of the residence In the rear of the building is a large coniferous tree To the
rear of the building there is an in ground pool and silt fencing immediately on the other side of
the poolbackyard area At the roadside adjacent to the driveway (north side) is a mature tree
There is a small raised flower bed located at the rear side of the house addition near the south
door (refer to Photograph 16 and 22)
38 I 2-44Access to the outbuildings is also from Dixie Road but with its own designated access (hard
packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure
44
I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

packed driveway) There is no special landscaping around these outbuildings
A large earthen berm is located behind the house (west) which separates the house from adjacent
agricultlural fields
The 2010 archaeological excavation of the front and side yards of 11098 Dixie Road removed
immature trees and all of the vegetation along the front verandah
The historic landscape reflected a rural agricultural theme The property landscape has been
altered by construction (berm modern additions such as the garage and in ground pool and
removal of plantings trees and lawn) and recent archaeological excavations The latter
excavation area has been refilled and reseeded

70 HERITAGE INVENTORY amp EVALUATION OF HERITAGE
IMPACTS
39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

39 I 2-4571 Heritage Register ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The subject property is included on the Brampton Register of Cultural Heritage Resources also
known as the ldquoHeritage Inventoryrdquo (Leonard 2010) In the Heritage Inventory the property is
evaluated as Class bdquoB‟ This category is described as being ldquosignificant worthy of preservation [and its] municipal designation under the Ontario Heritage Act will always be consideredrdquo The property‟s inclusion on the Brampton Heritage Inventory also called ldquolistingrdquo is an administrative tool to monitor heritage resources but in itself does not have legal status under
the OHA A ldquolistedrdquo property would have to be historically designated under Subsection 27 of the OHA through passing a municipal by-law in order to be legally protected under the
legislation Properties are removed from the Heritage Inventory if they are designated and would
instead be included in the City‟s Heritage Designation Register So the inventory itself comprises ldquolistedrdquo properties only and it recognizes that a property‟s category or heritage value can determine its ldquodesignatabilityrdquo
The City‟s website ldquoHeritage FAQs‟ page explains that ldquoa heritage bdquolisting‟ is an informal tool used to identify properties of cultural heritage value [whereas] a heritage designation provides
formal recognition of heritage value through the passing of a municipal by-lawrdquo Under the OHA clause 27(4)(b) notice of designation requires ldquoa statement explaining the cultural heritage value or interest of the property and a description of the heritage attributes of the
propertyrdquo Listing does not necessitate the same level of documentation however some research is encouraged according to the Ontario Ministry of Culture‟s [now Ministry of Tourism and
Culture] ldquoInfoSheet Listing Cultural Heritage Properties on the Municipal Registerrdquo ldquoAlthough detailed research and evaluation of the property is not required a brief rationale should be
provided explaining why it may be important to the communityrdquo To properly consider a listed property the aforementioned ldquobrief rationalerdquo should be prepared to establish the heritage significance of the resource to the community
The evaluation of the current house (11098 Dixie Road) appears to have been based primarily
upon a visual evaluation only This is not uncommon due to the limited resources of municipal
staff volunteer heritage committees or consultants preparing area surveys all of which can be
sources for recommending inventory listings In this case Mr Jim Leonard the City Heritage
Coordinator has indicated in correspondence that ldquothe property was identified by a heritage consulting firm as being of cultural heritage value or interest as part of a 2007-2008 secondary
planning heritage study for SP Area 48 (Countryside Villages)rdquo The aforementioned study would have been the ASI (2008) report which is limited by the large study area of approximately
650 hectares The research and visual review of the area properties were understandably broad
in scope as the report methodology is described
Building interiors were not subject to survey Historical research was also conducted for
the purposes of identifying broad agents or themes of historical change in the area
The property summary of each identified heritage resource was documented in a one page
inventory sheet only This HIA report provides a more in-depth assessment of the properties
with focused historical research and documentation about the lands and buildings
The assessment of the subject buildings represents the first site specific stage in reviewing its
heritage significance It is recommended that the City Heritage Coordinator and the BHB re shy
evaluate this listed property based upon the new information in this report The evaluation
methodology to grade the listed buildings should be based on the over-riding set of provincial
`
40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

Municipal Address
11098 Dixie Road
11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

40 I 2-46criteria established in Ontario Regulation 906 under the Ontario Heritage Act (Criteria for
Determining Cultural Heritage Value) passed in January 2006 (OHA OReg 906)(Government
of Ontario 2006) In the Ministry of Culture‟s Ontario Heritage Tool Kit Heritage Property Evaluation Section 4 Municipal Criteria Ontario Regulation 906 advises that ldquoexisting evaluation models may have to be revised to take into account the mandatory criteria set out in
the regulation (Ministry of Culture 2006)
The ldquoBackground Informationrdquo prefacing the City‟s inventory (Leonard 2007) acknowledges that the properties do have some variability ldquoListed properties may be subject to periodic reshy
evaluation and re-grading by the Heritage Coordinator as additional information is uncovered or
as properties undergo restoration or alterationrdquo For this particular property its inventory rating does bring into question whether it has sufficient heritage value to warrant designation So the
thorough review of each criterion in this report will serve as a re-evaluation of the heritage
significance of this property
72 Heritage Evaluation of Building ndash 11098 Dixie Road
The site specific research and more detailed review of the building conditions including
interiors and outbuildings allows for a more accurate heritage assessment Using the provincial
criteria categories under the OHA to evaluate the heritage significance of the subject house the
following are applicable
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
Design Value or Is the property a rare unique representative or early NO
Physical Value example of a style type expression material or construction method
Does the property display a high degree of craftsmanship
or artistic merit
NO
Does the property demonstrate a high degree of NO
technical or scientific achievement
Historical Value or Does the property have direct associations with a theme
event belief person activity organization or institution that is significant to a community
NO
Associates Value
Does the property yield or have the potential to yield NO
information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture
Does the property demonstrate or reflect the work or
ideas of an architect artist builder designer or theorist who is significant to a community
NO
Contextual Value Is the property important in defining maintaining or NO
41
Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure
44
I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

Municipal Address
11098 Dixie Road
11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

Criteria Question YesNo
Determination
of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest
supporting the character of an area
Is the property physically functionally visually or
historically linked to its surroundings
NO
Is the property a landmark NO
I 2-47
Design Value The original house of the front wing is not rare or particularly
representative of a residential type In fact the house structure being a relocated store
entails that it cannot by its origins incorporate any high level of style craft or
construction technique which might be an expression of nineteenth-century domestic
architecture Although correspondence from the City Heritage Coordinator (Leonard
2007) suggests its style as having ldquoGeorgianLoyalist design influencesrdquo this house must be regarded as a vernacular construction which is how it is described in the ASI (2008)
report The same accounting holds for the outbuildings There is no remarkable degree
of craftsmanship or artistic merit nor is there a high degree of technical or scientific
merit
Historical Value No notable themes community or architectural significance are
associated with this house or outbuildings Among the previous farm owners is the
locally known Gray family which is associated with the history of this area of rural
Brampton The theme for the property historically was rural agricultural Due to
modifications of the cultural landscape the theme value has diminished These previous
farm owners are known locally and without any broader historical importance on the
provincial or national levels which would register significance in this category The
property is not considered rare unique representative or an early example of a style
type expression material or construction method
Contextual Value This house and associated outbuildings do not have a great potential to
add appreciably to this historical character of the area The property does not
significantly define maintain or support the character of the area It does not physically
functionally visually or historically link to its surroundings nor is it considered a
landmark
The subject farm has a bdquoB‟ category but no score in the City‟s inventory because the ASI Secondary Plan Heritage Study (2008) did not evaluate it with a numeric grade The Class bdquoB‟ category the subject property‟s grading is the second of the three inventory classifications and
has a grading range from 40 to 69 points A property in this inventory category ldquoexhibit[s] a reasonably high level of preservation physical integrity or completeness [and] hold[s] citywide
importance
The poor conditions of the house have implications for its heritage value and preservation The
deterioration within walls and floor cavities occurs in building areas which are internal
unexposed and inaccessible for repair and restoration The process of restoring the damaged
42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

Municipal Address
11098 Dixie Road
11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

42 I 2-48structure would be so extensive that the historic elements would lose their integrity ndash such as
reconstructing whole portions of walls Provincial guidelines for ldquoHeritage Property Evaluationrdquo in the Ontario Heritage Tool Kit (Ministry of Culture 2006) recognize this resolvability of
severely deteriorated structures ldquoThe ability of the structure to exist for the long term and determining at what point repair and reconstruction erode the integrity of the heritage attributes
must be weighed against the cultural heritage value or interest held by the propertyrdquo A re shyevaluation of this property is recommended for the City inventory
43 I 2-49
80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above
figure

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

Municipal Address
11098 Dixie Road
11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

80 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS
The property occupies land that will form part of a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo (Figure 7) known as
the Employment Lands This subdivision will house large warehouse types of business
Figure 7 Draft Plan of Subdivision
11098 Dixie Road is illustrated (Figure 8) with its footprint plans from details of the above

I 2-50
Figure 8 11098 Dixie Road Building Footprint
81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

Municipal Address
11098 Dixie Road
11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

81 Assessment of Potential Impacts
The proposed ldquoEmployment Blockrdquo is meant to incorporate large warehouse scale buildingsbusinesses As a result of this proposal there will be grading of the landscape
servicing and road widening in addition to general construction operation and maintenance
impacts These impacts will be significant and large scale
The main heritage structure on the property is the main house The outbuildings at 11098 Dixie
Road do not hold any unique heritage value to the original rural agricultural landscape and the
specific property landscape has been subject to extreme modification The main structure 11098
Dixie Road is in poor condition and not original to the property
The current impacts have already affected the property with the dewatering program at Dixie
Road
45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

Municipal Address
11098 Dixie Road
11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

45 I 2-5190 MITIGATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Ideally the development of the property should be designed to avoid impacts to the heritage
property The property is in poor condition and does not meet any of the critieria OHA O Reg
906 The outbuildings lack any heritage value
The following recommended options for the property have been identified as well as a brief
discussion of pros and cons for each option
1 Retain all buildings in situ and integrate them within the proposed development
PRO ndash Former buildings from the historic period remain in the community
CON- 11098 Dixie Road is not representative of any particular style person is not from this
original location and does not contribute in a significant way to the former community of the
area
2 Commemorate the location of 11098 Dixie Road with a plaque and a description
of its importance in early adaptive reuse (house located to this location and used as a
storeresidence and then residence)
PRO ndash A plaque marking this reuse of a store into a house would contribute to the significance and recognition of the enterprise of settlers in the area CON ndash The house is not original to this location A plaque must also be accessible to readers and not just a stand alone sign
3 Commemorate the early settlers of both of the property through use of the family
names for street names
PRO ndash Recognition of the familiesearly settlers of this area by naming streets after them would
assist in commemorating their value and contributions to the community
CON ndash Most people do not know why a street was named in a special way and the
commemorative value will only be known to a few

HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

11098 Dixie Road
11098 Dixie Road Lot 16 Concession III EHS
HIA Details
Prepared by Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education Prepared May 2011 Received June 2011
The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure
heritage due diligence will be appropriately undertaken
I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

The Property
11098 Dixie Road is located on the north-west corner of Dixie Road and Countryside Drive Con 3 EHS Lot 16
The property contains a 19th century vernacular Ontario farmhouse with GeorgianLoyalist design influences and two barns with additional ancillary structures
The property is listed as a category B heritage farmstead in the City of Brampton Register of Heritage Resources (2008)
The property is no longer in use as a farm and the farmhouse is not occupied An HIA has been submitted and staff are in contact with the heritage consultant to ensure

I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives

known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant

I 2-66Report Highlights
Metrus Development Inc retained Scarlett Janusas Archaeological and Heritage Consulting and Education to undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for this property Metrus Development Inc is proposing to develop the lands as a ldquobusiness subdivisionrdquo
known as the Employment Lands 11098 Dixie Road including the farmhouse and barns and ancillary buildings were evaluated
under Regulation 906 for this HIA It was determined the farmhouse while likely of a mid-nineteenth century construction date
was not original to the property and was moved to this location circa 1900 The eastern or main portion of the building has a foundation of fieldstones which carry the
ground floor on hewn logs supporting irregularly sized floor boards The hewn logs suggest a construction date of the mid-nineteenth century for this front portion
and the rear (west) portion of the house appears to be a later addition with framing of milled joists and 2x8s Features such as the front basement accessed by an interior trapdoor and no staircase to the
front (original) basement supports the owner information that his grandfather was aware the ldquohouserdquo used to be a store that was moved and an addition was built on to it Therefore the farmhouse has been modified over time The farmhouse barns and outbuildings have limited cultural heritage value and are to be
impacted by the proposed development The buildings are not considered of sufficient cultural heritage value to warrant
preservation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff are in support of the demolition of the builldings due to lack of sufficient cultural heritage value based on the information provided in the Heritage Impact Assessment It is recommended that the salvage for reuse in preferably heritage related-projects be explored In addition the consultant is to provide the Region of Peel with a copy of the report to go the Region of Peel Archives
