BACKGROUND
In 2007 City Council approved the demolition of the single detached dwelling at 72-80 Bolton Street and the construction of a four-storey apartment building under the Ontario Heritage Act.
That report is described at: http://www.ottawa.ca/calendar/ottawa/citycouncil/occ/2007/02-23/pec/ACS2007-PTE-APR-0047.htm
After Council granted approval under the Ontario Heritage Act, but before the issuance of a building permit, Ottawa Hydro required modifications to the design because the front facade exceeded the allowable distance for buildings from overhead hydro wires. In response, the property owner redesigned the building; as the building has been redesigned, new permission under the Ontario Heritage Act is required.
DISCUSSION
The revised designs for the new structure are close in spirit to the building as approved in 2007. The main differences are the change from a mansard roof with dormers to a flat roof and the setting back of the top two storeys. The design approved by Council in 2007 and the current proposal are shown on Documents 5 (2007) and Document 6 (2009) respectively. The proposed building is a brick, four-storey, flat roofed apartment building with the third and fourth storeys set back from the second storey. Small three-sided turret-like bays distinguish the east and west corners of the front façade. There is a plain cornice at the fourth and second floor rooflines and a stringcourse between the first and second storeys. The terrace created by the setback has a plain railing (see new elevations, Document 6). There is one floor of underground parking accessed from Parent Street. The windows have pre-cast sills and lintels. The windows are a regularly spaced combination of single and paired windows with some larger French windows with railings.
The Department has no objection to the proposed design, as it is similar in design and execution to the design approved by City Council in 2007. The Department supported that building because “it complements the character of other low-rise buildings in Lowertown” and “will enhance this area of the Lowertown West Heritage Conservation District.” Similarly, the new building, with its simplified roofline, and red brick construction with cast cornice and stringcourse, will complement the character of the area and animate this section of Bolton Street.
