Adjacent Land Use
Minimum Separation Distance
Any other developed area or area likely to be
300m

Screening - A mineral working shall be screened in the following manner
where it is visible from a public street or highway, developed area, or area
likely to be developed during the life of the working:
(a)
Where tree screens exist between the mineral working and adjacent
public streets or other land uses, the tree screens shall be retained in a
30m wide strip of vegetation so that visibility of any part of the use from
the surrounding uses is prevented. Tree screens must be maintained by
the owner of the mineral working. Where vegetation dies or is removed
from the 30m strip, the Authority may require new trees be planted to fill
in the area affected.
(b)
Where no tree screens exist of sufficient width and density to constitute
a visual screen, earthen berms shall be constructed to a height
sufficient to prevent visibility of any part of the mineral working adjacent
uses.
(c)
Where natural topography creates a visual screen between mineral
workings and adjacent public highways and streets or other land uses,
additional screening may not be required.
(d)
Where effective screening for any mineral working or associated
processing or manufacturing use cannot be installed or located as a
Schedule C Use Zone Tables
Page 63
Town of Peterview Development Regulations 2010-2020
required in (b)-(c) above, the Authority may refuse to permit the mineral
working or associated activity.
(3)

drainage shall unacceptably reduce the quality of water in any waterbody or
watercourse. Any access road to a pit and quarry working which crosses a
brook or stream shall be bridged or culverted at the crossing in accordance
with the regulations of the Department of Environment.
(5)
Erosion Control - No mineral working shall be carried out in a manner so as
to cause erosion of adjacent land.
(6)
Site Maintenance - The mineral working shall be kept clean or refuse,
abandoned equipment and any derelict buildings.
(7)
Access Roads - During extended periods of shutdown, access roads to a

(9)
Operating Plant and Associated Processing and Manufacturing - The
Authority may permit processing and manufacturing use associated with
mineral working provided that, in the opinion of the Authority, the use does not
create a nuisance nor is liable to become a nuisance or offensive by the
creation of noise or vibration, or by reason of the emission of fumes, dust, dirt,
objectionable odour, or by reason of unsightly storage of materials.
(10) Future Extraction - All permanent or temporary buildings, plants and
structures associated with processing and manufacturing will be located so as
not to interfere with the present or future extraction of aggregate resources.
(11) Termination and Site Rehabilitation - Upon completion of the mineral

Schedule C Use Zone Tables
Page 64
Town of Peterview Development Regulations 2010-2020
(d)
The access road to the working shall be ditched or barred to the
satisfaction of the Authority.
If the mineral working contains reserves of material sufficient to support further
extraction operations, the Authority may require the work described above to
be carried out only in areas of the site where extraction has depleted
aggregate reserves.
4. Office - An office use may be permitted if it is part of and subsidiary to another
permitted or discretionary use.
5. Scrap Yards
(1)
Fencing - Council may require a scrap yard to be enclosed by a fence
designed and constructed to its specifications and no less than 1.8m in height
(2)
Screening - A scrap yard shall be screened in the following manner where it
would be visible from a public street or highway, developed are or areas likely
to be developed during the life of the use:
(a)
Where tree screens exist between the use and adjacent public
highways and streets or other land uses (except forestry and
agriculture), the tree screen shall be retained in a 30m wide strip of
vegetation so that visibility of any part of the use from the surrounding
uses or streets will be prevented. The tree screens must be maintained
by the owner or occupier of the use to retain 30m in a forested
appearance. Where vegetation dies or is removed from the 30m strip,
Council may require new trees of a minimum height of 1 m be planted to
fill in the areas affected to the satisfaction of Council.
(b)
Where no tree screens exist of sufficient width and density to constitute
a visual screen, earthen berms shall be constructed to a height
sufficient to prevent visibility of any part of the use from adjacent uses
(except forestry and agriculture), or adjacent public highways and
streets. The berm shall be landscaped to Council's satisfaction.
(c)
Where natural topography creates a visual screen between a scrap yard
and adjacent public highways and streets or other land use (except
forestry or agriculture), additional screening may not be required.
(d)
Where effective screening for any scrap yard cannot be installed or
located as required in (a)-(c) above, or where the site is highly visible
from a distance, Council may refuse to permit the use or associated
activity.
(3) Separation from Adjacent Uses - Unless Council is satisfied that the use will not
create a nuisance and will not adversely affect the amenity of the specified
development or natural feature, no scrap yard or solid waste storage or disposal
site shall be located closer than the minimum distances set out below to the
specified development or natural feature:
