the street and neighbouring buildings. She commented on
the topography of Pond Street and presented sketches of the façades. Ms. Coutts indicated that a one and half

Conservation District Study. It will be
clad in stone and stucco panels with metal windows, wood soffitts and asphalt
shingles. Large caliper trees will be
kept on site.

Architects responded to questions from members of the advisory committee
pertaining to the size of the proposed structure, landscaping, excavation,
variances and materials. Mr. Tolot
explained that dressed sable coloured stone would be used around the doorway to add massing and clean
lines to the entrance. He added that
rough cut stone with a natural brownish tinge would be used on the remainder of
the façade.

provided some background on this particular area of Rockcliffe Park based on
his past experience in planning law as solicitor with the Village of Rockcliffe
Park prior to amalgamation. He noted

to the topography. The subdivision was
developed starting in 1981.

Villages & Hamlets and “Lost
Communities”

would be presenting information on Kingdon Minds at a session on 17 October
2003. Mr. Jones provided directions to
the site and information from the publication “Ghost Towns of Ontario”
by Ron Brown. Notably, the town was the
largest producer of zinc and lead in Canada between 1914 and 1931. The town was lost in 1931 when ore could no
longer be found on site and a dam was built on the Ottawa River. The member suggested that a plaque could be
erected on site to commemorate the town.
Member A. Jones noted that a
subdivision would be proceeding in the area.
Sally Coutts, Heritage Planner stated the site has archaeological potential
and an archaeological review could be required as part of the application to
redevelop the site.
Member P. Stumes recommended that
Mr. Jones get in contact with Heritage Ottawa on this matter and undertook to
communicate with the Association of Industrial Archaeology. Member J. Curry indicated that cottages and
some streets were still visible in the area in the 1970s. He noted that many laneways in West Carleton
were covered in white lead stone from the tailings of the mine.
Moved by Member J. Curry
That the Local Architectural
