The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (February 4, 1998) from Beth Hanna, Manager, Culture Branch, Parks and Recreation Department:
Purpose:
North York Council on October 6, 1997, by Resolution No. 97-17, approved the recommendation that the Joseph Shepard House/Dempsey Brothers Store and the Jolly Miller Tavern be designated as having historical and architectural significance in accordance with the provisions of The Ontario Heritage Act (R.S.O. 1990) and the recommendation of the North York Heritage Committee/LACAC.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1) Council enact the necessary By-laws to provide for the designation of the Joseph Shepard House/Dempsey Brothers Store, 250 Beecroft Road, and the Jolly Miller Tavern, 3885 Yonge Street, in accordance with the provisions of The Ontario Heritage Act; and
(2) the appropriate City officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto.
Justification:
Both of these properties were considered against the "Guidelines for The Evaluation of Heritage Properties" (approved by North York Council February 5, 1996) and determined to be worthy of designation on architectural and historical grounds.
The North York Heritage Committee/LACAC recommends that Council proceed with the designation of these properties.
In accordance with the provisions of The Ontario Heritage Act, Notice of Intention to Designate was published in the North York Mirror and served on the owner of the properties and the Ontario Heritage Foundation. Thirty days were allowed for objections and no objections have been received.
Conclusions:
It is now in order for Council to enact the appropriate by-laws to designate the Joseph Shepard House/Dempsey Brothers Store, 250 Beecroft Road and the Jolly Miller Tavern, 3885 Yonge Street. A copy of the designation by-laws are attached to this report.
