Note: HPRS considered a previous application for this scope of work in 2020, which was withdrawn to allow the applicant to conduct further research in best practices for these types of accessibility installations.

    • Replacement of the six existing wood exterior doors, in various locations on the front elevation;
    • Replacement of existing wood windows on all elevations;

    • Reconfiguration and addition of curbing and bollards in the north and south parking lots.

Note: This property received conditional approval from HPRS for a heritage permit which included a similar scope of work in 2020. HP2020-009 was approved in April 2020 and expired April 30, 2022.

  • Construction of a detached garage structure at the front yard of the property, including:
    • Removal of existing parking pad;
    • New concrete pad and foundation;
    • New hip roof on north elevation with a hip roofed dormer and a west facing gable, clad in asphalt shingles; and,

Note: This application requires a decision of Council. Following review by HPRS, staff will prepare a report to the Hamilton Municipal Heritage Committee for their advice before consideration by Planning Committee and final decision of Council.

      • Conversion of two rear second storey windows into doors to access the sunroom roof balcony;
