Motion
Moved by Councillor S. Qadri
WHEREAS in 2006 Richcraft Homes purchased the site that encompasses the
Bradley Craig Barn when there was no Heritage Designation on the barn or
house;
AND WHEREAS The Fernbank Community Design Plan approved by City Council
in 2009 designated the lands fronting onto Hazeldean Road as Mixed Use and
identified the Bradley Craig Barn for retention or relocation within the
community;
AND WHEREAS The farmstead consisting of the barn, a Gothic Revival style
brick farmhouse and associated yard was designated under Part IV of the Ontario
Heritage Act by City Council in 2010 for its cultural heritage value;
AND WHEREAS The City turned down the offer from Richcraft to relocate the
barn to the future district park in the community given the large costs associated
to undertake incorporating the barn into a recreation complex and the annual
operating costs;
AND WHEREAS Retrofitting the barn for adaptive re-use is a large financial
undertaking which Richcraft has identified as not feasible nor reasonable for

their businesses model;
AND WHEREAS If the barn is not relocated it will remain vacant in the current
condition for the foreseeable future as Richcraft has no intention to undertake
any work at the barn other than the minimum as mandated by the Property
Standards Bylaw to maintain;
AND WHEREAS There is no legal mechanism available to require the developer
to find an alternative use and repurpose the barn;
AND WHEREAS The Fernbank CDP, the Official Plan and the Provincial Policy
Statement set clear guidelines for development in the urban area, which includes
understanding that land within the urban boundary will be developed;
AND WHEREAS The future development of the site will diminish the ‘landmark’
significance of the barn as the completed commercial development of the site
will greatly reduce the sightlines and provide a very limited view of the barn from
Hazeldean Road;
AND WHEREAS Instead of applying for a complete demolition of the barn,
Richcraft has made arrangements to find a suitable new location for the barn,
and have sought a partner who is willing to restore the barn to reflect its original
state;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Planning Committee recommend Council
approve the application to demolish the barn under the Ontario Heritage Act;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Planning Committee recommend Council
issue the heritage permit conditional upon the following:
1. The barn must be relocated/rebuilt within 2 years to Saunders Farm in
Munster;
2. The property owner must submit a detailed plan for the recording,
dismantling, storage and reconstruction of the barn to the Planning and
Growth Management Department for review and approval prior to the
demolition and removal of the building;
3. The Bradley-Craig farmhouse will remain as a designated property and
there are to be no alterations or changes to the status of the house on the
property; and

4. That staff be directed to work with the applicant through the site plan
control process to develop an interpretation strategy to commemorate the
site’s history;

2010-247 to remove the barn from the Statement of Cultural Heritage Value and
Heritage Attributes.
