The Toronto Preservation Board recommends to the Toronto and East York Community Council that: 

 

1.  City Council include the property at 15 Glen Morris Street on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register.

 

2.  City Council state its intention to designate the property at 15 Glen Morris Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, in accordance with the Statement of Significance: 15 Glen Morris Street (Reasons for Designation) attached as Attachment 3 to the report (April 11, 2017) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division.

 

3.  If there are no objections to the designation in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the necessary bill in Council.

 

4.  If there are objections in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, City Council direct the City Clerk to refer the proposed amendment to the Conservation Review Board.

 

5.  If the designation is referred to the Conservation Review Board, City Council authorize the City Solicitor and appropriate staff to attend any hearing held by the Conservation Review Board in support of Council's decision to amend the designating by-law.

The Toronto Preservation Board directed the report (April 6, 2017) from the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, respecting Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 15 Glen Morris Street, be forwarded to City Council for its meeting on April 26, 27 and 28, 2017, to be considered.

This report recommends that Toronto City Council state its intention to designate the property at 15 Glen Morris Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and include the property on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. 

 

The property located on the south side of Glen Morris Street, between Spadina Avenue and Huron Street, contains a one-and-half storey, classic, 19th-century Ontario house, completed in 1878 and known as the Samuel Bennett house.   

 

Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property at 15 Glen Morris Street meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its design, associative and contextual value. 

 

The inclusion of the property on the Heritage Register and its designation would ensure that all heritage values and attributes of the property are identified and conserved.
