## Development #### Tanner's Crossing Planning District Tanner's Crossing Planning District (TCPD) is made up of the Town of Minnedosa and the Rural Municipality of Minto-Odanah. TCPD is governed by a five member Board of Directors, consisting of three representatives from the Town of Minnedosa, and two members from R.M. of Minto-Odanah. The Planning District, as it is commonly called, currently has two employees, one of whom acts as a development officer and building inspector, and the other provides administrative support. The Planning District Board adopts policy, which is implemented by its staff. The Planning District regulates all building in the town and municipality and is responsible for building inspections, fire safety inspections, permits (building, move-in, development, plumbing, demolition, etc.), planning (conditional uses, variation orders, rezoning, development plan amendments) and zoning memorandum. #### Zoning By-laws Please note that a number of Amendments have been made to the Zoning By-laws for the Town of Minnedosa and the R.M. of Minto-Odanah. Be sure to check with Tanner's Crossing Planning District before beginning any project. #### Building Permits A building permit is required in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public. A permit is required for new construction, additions, alterations, renovations, relocation, demolitions and repairs. All farm buildings, except residences and garages, do not require a building permit but must have a development permit.
