The amendment will provide more detail of the property's heritage attributes, and will expand the list of heritage attributes to include the south and west facades of the building. The property located at 25 Regina Street South (Part ofWeaver Street Closed by By-lawNo.71, Instrument No. 2312 and By-law No. 584, Instrument No. 12715 and Part of Lot 391, Registered Plan No. 385, designated as Part 2 on Plan 58R-3528), Waterloo, ON, known as the Button Factory, contains a three- storey, buff brick building, a former button factory built ca. 1886, that has significant design, historical and contextual cultural heritage value. The design value of the property relates to the architecture of the former button factory as representative of late 19th century Victorian Industrial architecture. The former button factory has historical value pertaining to its association with German immigrant Richard Roschman, the business Roschman and Brother, and the skylights patented by Emil Vogelsang. The former button factory has contextual value as it is visually and historically linked to the railway, the train station, and other historic buildings in the core that were built within the same timeframe. The heritage attributes of the property include the following: location and orientation of the building along the railway, all exterior facades and the interior turned wood columns and cast iron cap plates. Inquiries about the proposed amendment to By-law 82-62 may be directed to Fredrick VanRooyen, Zoning/Committee Coordinator by phone at 519-514-0224 or by email at fredrick.vanrooyen@waterloo.ca Notice of objection to this designation may be served on the Clerk of the Corporation of the City of Waterloo within thirty (30) days of this notice. Any notice of objection shall indicate the reasons for the objection and all relevant facts. The last day for filing an objection isMarch 6, 2020. DATED at Waterloo this 6th day of February, 2020. Olga Smith, City Clerk City of Waterloo 100 Regina Street South Waterloo, Ontario N2J 4A8 P. 519-886-1550 TTY. 1-866-786-3941waterloo.ca The sign for a 20,000-square-foot retail opportunity at the corner of King and We- ber has a "leased" sticker on it and ap- proved site plans at the City of Waterloo have a Farm Boy logo. According to Joel Cotter, director of the city's planning division, the property at 417 King St. N. is indeed planned for a small gro- cery store, which recently obtained site plan approval. The building permit is being pro- cessed and an excavator is already on-site. Michael Lambert, a representative with Whitney & Company Realty Limited Com- mercial Real Estate Services, said he couldn't speak to the development due to a nondisclo- sure agreement. Cotter said construction will most likely commence in the spring when the weather improves. A property search shows that the vacant 4,251-square-metre property was sold in Jan- uary of last year to a numbered Ontario com- pany for $1,673,510. Site plans show a floor area of 2,483 square metres, including a 138-square-metre mezza- nine, with the building footprint close to the corner of the King/Weber intersection. Park- ing is located to the rear of the property and toward the Charcoal restaurant on King Street North. Right-in, right-out access from the property will be provided off King. Farm Boy, Ontario's fastest-growing fresh food retailer, announced the develop- ment of 10 new Canadian stores in Decem- ber, but that list didn't include Waterloo. Because city approvals aren't yet final- ized, Farm Boy's marketing manager Jim Empey said he was unable to comment at this time. "We typically don't talk about any new store until shovels are in the ground," he said. BUSINESS FARM BOY APPEARS TO BE IN THE WORKS BILL JACKSON bjackson@kitchenerpost.ca
