The City of Mississauga issued a Notice of Intention to Designate the entirety of a 2.15-acre property, which included a previously designated 19th-century dwelling and newly included natural features such as a watercourse and treed valley lands.
The property owners objected, arguing that the natural features lacked cultural heritage value.
The Conservation Review Board held a hearing and concluded that the property no longer retained sufficient farm-related features to be considered a representative example of a 19th-century farmstead.
The Board recommended that the City not proceed with designating the entire property and instead maintain the existing designation protecting the historic dwelling.
