If the answer to any of questions 1 to 5 is Yes, the applicant shall retain a Professional Engineer to undertake the general review of the project during the demolition. Furthermore, the applicant shall submit a completed General Review Demolition Commitment Certificate and a letter detailing the structural design characteristics of the building and method of demolition.

6. Is the building a designated property on the City of Kawartha Lakes Heritage Registry?
 

Heritage designation can prevent demolition or relocation of a building.  Properties that have been designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act require approval from Council in order to undertake demolition or relocation.  The demolition permit is reviewed first by the Municipal heritage Advisory Committee and within 90 days Council must decide whether to refuse the application, consent to it or consent with terms and conditions.  The owner can appeal Council’s decision to the Ontario Municipal Board who will make the final decision.  In most cases a compromise solution can be reached and the community is able to retain its history. Our Heritage Designation Register is available here.

7. Will you be moving this building?
 

If the answer to question 7 is Yes, the applicant shall have written approval from the following appropriate departments, prior to the submission of the demolition permit application.
