PRIVATE SEPTIC SYSTEMS AND WELL PERMITS
- If you plan to use your current septic tank, Public Health Inspectors have advised to contact a local qualified person (onsite sewage contractor /installer) to inspect and validate the holding tank’s function and safety. The picture of the access port with a brief description of the tank (concrete/fibreglass) must be emailed to [email protected] for review and approval.
- Be aware that if you are installing a new sewage holding tank, you will have to contact your local Public Health Inspector for a permit and inspection. More information can be found here: Environmental Public Health - Sewage.
- For private water wells please contact the Water Security Agency for more information on testing private wells and required permits for new well investigations.
SETBACKS
- Minimum setbacks are measured from the property boundary to the nearest wall of the building. Click here for instructions on how to download a dimensional image of your lot from ISC (land titles) or we can provide you with this image upon request.
- Gutters, eaves, and decks are allowed in the setback area but no closer than 0.5m/1.6 feet of the boundary.
- Setbacks can be larger (but not smaller) than listed in the table below. Front Yard is the portion of the property that shares a boundary with the street (not a lane or the lake).
DRAINAGE AND FILL
- Grading, leveling or placement of fill must be located entirely within the boundaries of your lot.
- The finished grade of a lot must not direct water onto adjoining properties.
- Fill must be placed so that natural drainage is not blocked or diverted.
BUILDING MOVING
- Ministry of Highways confirms that the road surface width of Hwy 927 is 7 m (23.0 ft) wide and it is a secondary weight road.
- Permits are required for building movers to move buildings on provincial roadways and overhead powerlines may need to raised, although they have confirmed there are no lines along Hwy 927 that would need to be raised.
- RTM building moving and permits are typically coordinated through RTM contractors.
- Each building move will be unique in its requirements, so please consult with your contractor.
- Building movers will need the whole Hwy 927 which will involve stopping all traffic and potentially removing signs.
FIRESMART
- Building materials, landscaping, and maintenance can play a significant role in reducing the potential impact wildfire can have on your home and community. Guidelines can be found in the FireSmart Canada Home Development Guide.
PROPERTY OWNERSHIP, LOT DIMENSIONS AND SURVEY PIN LOCATION
Survey pins are made of metal and would not have been affected by the wildfire. There are currently no plans to locate existing survey pins for the whole community. Click here for information on property ownership, lot dimensions, and pin locations.
