ANALYSIS:
A. Gommittee/Board Recommendations:
At its meeting of December 16, 2010, the Heritage Advisory Committee adopted a
resolution recommending Council approve the Heritage Alteration Permit application
submitted by Heath Anderson in order to restore several exterior features of the
historic Campbell house a|2203 - 30 Avenue'
B. Rationale:
1. Heath Anderson, owner of the property aL2203 - 30 Avenue, is in the process of
repairing the damage to the building caused by a fire that originated by a lightning
strike. In conjunction with the fire damage repair work, Mr, Anderson would like to
restore and reconstruct several features of the building exterior to correspond to the
design of the original building.
2. Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA) Bylaw #4605 was adopted on August 14,
2OOO which allowed for a bed and breakfast operation and up to four dwelling units
in the subject heritage building a|2203 - 30 Avenue. By adopting and registering
the HRA bylaw and related documents, the property is deemed to be a "protected
heritage property" as per the Local Government Act (LGA). lf any significant
alterations are to be made to the exterior of a protected heritage property, such
work shall not commence without the owner first receiving the approval and
issuance of a Heritage Alteration Permit (HAP)'
3. Mr. Anderson is proposing to replace several of the windows with those that
conform to the window design on the original building. He is also proposing to
reconstruct the sun porch on the west facing wall of the second floor and the porch
and back door on the ground floor. The proposed restoration works are noted on
Figures 3 to 6 which are current and historic photos of the subject building. Staff
supporl the Heritage Alteration Permit application as it demonstrates exactly what
heritage restoration objectives in the City's Official Community Plan are trying to
achieve.
