Delegation

 

4.1
Victoria Park Redevelopment

 

Jayne Jagelewski provided a hybrid concept drawing for Victoria Park, that was developed from the comments from the public open houses and user group meetings.  The hybrid plan has created spaces for everyone to enjoy, improving accessibility, while honouring heritage, and maintaining as many healthy trees as possible.  The heritage cannons and fountain will remain in the park.  The fountain is currently with a company being repaired.  Heritage banners on light posts and heritage interpretive plaques/signs in the park would be welcome in the future.  The work in the park is proposed to be completed in 2026.

A discussion ensued about the concept drawing and the Heritage Designation of the park.  Concerns were expressed with the open lawn on the north side of the park and suggested another path through the middle of the park.  Sail shades were suggested to provide shade over the concrete performance plaza area.  Also, concerns were noted that the on-grade performance stage may not be visible to those watching the events in the on-grade performance plaza area.

Outstanding Business

 

6.1
Insurance Update

 

Tracey indicated insurance providers are still providing insurance to heritage designated homes, however the number of companies appear to be decreasing each year.  She will continue to research and monitor the matter.  Further advocacy with other levels of government may be required.

7.1
Kincardine Lighthouse

This item has attachments. 
1.09 008 236 Harbour St Heritage Designation By-Law.pdf

Jayne Jagelewski gave a brief history on the lighthouses in Kincardine, which are all owned by the Municipality.  Work was completed approximately 5 years ago on the Harbour Street lighthouse, and appears to be failing in some areas.  She is looking into having it repaired, but lighthouse restoration contractors are difficult to secure.  She is in contact with a company, who will look at the scope of the project, and determine what is required.  She will advise Heritage Kincardine if further work is to be commissioned.  

It was noted that the windows in the lighthouse are not part of the Heritage Designation, as they were not the original windows when the Designating By-law was passed.

7.2
Goal Setting

 

Goal setting for 2025 has been deferred to the next meeting. 

7.3
Bluewater Trailer Park Lease Extension

 

Jaris indicated that Council approved the Bluewater Trailer Park Lease for the final 3 years.  He advised that the original Deed specified the donated land be used for a public park, garden or walk for the residents of the Town.  He added that it is preserving heritage to follow the original Deeds, and he would like to see the park protected for the future. 

Jayne Jagelewski advised that no future plans for the property have been approved by Council.  She added that the pavilion in Dunsmoor park is in need of repair, and improvements in Tiny Tots park is also anticipated.    

It was confirmed that the property is not a Designated Heritage Site under the Ontario Heritage Act.
