Discussion on whether or not Richcraft can dismantle a Stittsville-area heritage barn and move it to Saunders Farm will wait until Dec. 10.
Ottawa’s built heritage committee was to discuss the matter Monday morning, but deferred discussion until next month because Richcraft’s consultant Fotenn Planning & Design requested some time to review heritage planners’ recommendation that the red barn remain where it has stood on Hazeldean Road since 1873.
Richcraft had applied to dismantle the barn on the Bradley-Craig farm and move it to the Saunders Farm, an “agri-tourism” centre about 20 kilometres away in Munster.
The barn was part of the pioneering Bradley family’s dairy operation. The farm remained in the family until it was sold to Richcraft in 2006. A heritage designation for the red timber-framed barn and the brick Gothic revival farmhouse was part of granting redevelopment zoning for the surrounding land in 2010.
The farmhouse will remain at the site. But in its application to move the barn, Richcraft said it wanted to develop the land for box stores and leaving the barn at the site was no longer feasible because the “surrounding context” had changed.
The city allows heritage buildings to be moved if there is no other option, but “there is no evidence that the applicant seriously considered other options,” said the city’s report. “Moving the barn to a farm-inspired tourist attraction will neither improve its heritage value, nor allow its history within the context of Goulbourn Township to be fully understood.”
In its submission, Heritage Ottawa said it was inappropriate to move the barn to a “heritage zoo.” The group noted that heritage designation was part of granting the zoning for redevelopment in 2010.
“A requirement to preserve some of the heritage and history of the area that is undergoing such substantial new development was far from unreasonable.”
Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri supports relocating the barn.
“As it stands today, the barn appears to be falling apart and under the current city bylaws regarding heritage buildings, it does not require any improvements to the building to assist with the condition of the structure,” he said in a statement.
“I feel at Saunders Farm the barn would be well maintained and I hope would permit the public to enter the barn, which would allow for the sharing of its history for many generations to come.”
After the built heritage sub-committee makes a decision on the matter, it will go to planning committee before it goes to city council.
