Summary

This report recommends that City Council refuse the alteration to the designated heritage property at 9 Drumsnab Road under Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

The applicant proposes to remove the existing original windows and to enlarge certain features of the entryway assembly, including the sidelights, transom window, and door opening.
