WHEREAS Rodman Hall is already included in the St. Catharines Registry of Non-Designated Cultural Heritage Properties that could be considered for designation; and

 

WHEREAS at its November 10, 2016 meeting, the St. Catharines Heritage Advisory Committee passed a motion to conduct detailed research on Rodman Hall;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council requests the
St. Catharines Heritage Advisory Committee consider the potential designation of the building and grounds at Rodman Hall under the Ontario Heritage Act, in consultation with Rodman Hall management and ownership. FORTHWITH

 

 

 

 

9.2

Lakeside Pavilion Design

WHEREAS at its November 7, 2016 meeting, Council passed the following motion:

"THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that staff ensure the architects develop at least two sketches/illustrations of design alternatives that are more in keeping with the history of Port Dalhousie and Lakeside Park and, that the two Ward Councillors plus: the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Parks Recreation and Culture Services staff, and the Chair of the St. Catharines Heritage Permit Advisory Committee [SCHPAC], promptly review all the alternatives and suggest one for approval by the SCHPAC; and

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this be done expeditiously so the recommendation from the SCHPAC can be approved at the November 21, 2016 Council meeting and this does not cause any delays in construction or affect funding approvals; and

That the ward Councillors be included in the Building Design Committee. FORTHWITH"; and

 

WHEREAS while discussing this motion several Councillors and the Mayor expressed major concerns about the construction timetable that now called for the new pavilion to be completed by October 2017, after the busy Summer season; and

 

WHEREAS the group identified in the motion met on November 10, 2016 and reviewed in detail the current design and two alternative designs as called for in the motion; and

 

WHEREAS at the November 10, 2016 meeting the group also reviewed and identified ways in which a new pavilion could reflect and communicate the heritage of the Park and ways to expedite the construction timetable;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that staff and the architects proceed immediately with the current design and, that the Public Art Advisory Committee and the Heritage Committees be consulted in order to incorporate elements in the glass windows and other components that reflect the heritage of the Park and;

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that staff be directed to work with the architects and other suppliers to ensure that the construction timetable for all approved improvements to Lakeside Park is significantly expedited and shortened and, in particular, that staff be directed to ensure that the new pavilion and the new washrooms/concessions are ready and usable at the start of the 2017 Summer season, by the Victoria Day weekend in May.
