Executive Summary: N/A

Background:

This Mission Revival style property has been on the Windsor Municipal Heritage Register since 2008. The current owners requested for heritage designation of the property which was designated by City Council through By-law No. 12-2012 on January 23, 2012. (The Statement of Significance from the Designation by-law is included as Appendix 'C'.)

A report from a member of the public alerted City staff of changes that were undergoing at this individually designated property. Since then and over the past few months, there has been ongoing discussion between the owner, Planning and Building Department staff, and particularly the heritage planner about the renovations and repairs conducted and proposed for the property.
