(2) Words and phrases not defined in Schedule 'A' shall have the meanings which are commonly assigned to them in the context in which they are used in the Regulations. 3. Commencement These Regulations come into effect throughout the Pilley's Island Municipal Planning Area, hereinafter referred to as the Planning Area, on the date of publication of a notice to that effect in the Newfoundland Gazette. 4. Municipal Code and Regulations The Building Code including the Plumbing Code, the Fire Code, the Electrical Code, and any other ancillary code and any Building Regulations, Waste Disposal Regulations and/or any other municipal regulations regulating or controlling the development, conservation and use of land in force in the Community of Pilley's Island, shall, under these Regulations apply to the entire Planning Area. 5. Authority In these Regulations, 'Authority' means the Council of the Community of Pilley's Island. 2 PART I - GENERAL REGULATIONS 6. Compliance With Regulations No development shall be carried out within the Planning Area except in accordance with these Regulations. 7. Permit Required No person shall carry out any development within the Planning Area except where otherwise provided in these Regulations unless a permit for the development has been issued by the authority. 8. Permit to be Issued Subject to Regulations 9 and 10, a permit shall be issued for development within the Planning Area that conforms to: (a) the general development standards set out in Part II of these Regulations, the requirements of Part V of these Regulations, and the use classes, standards, requirements, and conditions prescribed in Schedule C of these Regulations for the use zone in which the proposed development is located; (b) The standards set out in the Building Code and/or other ancillary codes, and any Building Regulations, Waste Disposal Regulations, and/or any other Municipal Regulation in force in the Planning Area regulating or controlling development, conservation and use of land and buildings; (c) The standards set out in Part III of these Regulations in the case of advertisement; (d) The standards set out in Part IV of these Regulations in the case of subdivision; (e) The standards of design and appearance established by the Authority. 9. Permit Not to be Issued in Certain Cases Neither a permit nor outline planning permission shall be issued for development within the Planning Area when, in the opinion of the Authority, it is premature by reason of the site lacking adequate road access, power, drainage, sanitary facilities, or domestic water supply, or being beyond the natural development of the area at the time of application 3 unless the applicant contracts to pay the full cost of construction of the services deemed necessary by the Authority and such cost shall attach to and upon the property in respect of which it is imposed. 10. Discretionary Powers of Authority In considering an application for a permit or for outline planning permission to carry out development, the Authority shall take into account the policies expressed in the Municipal Plan and any further scheme, plan or regulations pursuant thereto, and shall assess the general appearance of the development of the area, its effect on the overall development of the area, the amenity of the surroundings, availability of utilities, public safety and convenience, and any other considerations which are, in its opinion, material, and notwithstanding the conformity of the application with the requirements of these Regulations, the Authority may, in its discretion, and as a result of its consideration of the matters set out in this Regulation, conditionally approve or refuse the application. 11. Variances by Authority (1) Where a permit cannot be granted because the proposed development does not comply with these Regulations, the Authority may in its discretion vary the requirements to literal conformity with the Regulations if, in the Authority's opinion, the requirements would prejudice the proper development of the land, building or structure in question, or be contrary to the public interest. (2) Variance from these Regulations pursuant to Regulations 11(1) shall only be authorized in the following circumstances: (a) If, in the opinion of the Authority, such variance is not contrary to the general intent and purpose of these Regulations, the Municipal Plan, or any further scheme, plan or regulation pursuant thereto, and the public interest; (b) If, prior to authorization of such variance, the Authority has considered its effect on adjoining properties; 4 (c) If the variance does not change the permitted use of the property; (d) If the Authority is satisfied that the variance has not become necessary due to the intentional or negligent conduct of the owner or some other party acting with the owner's knowledge or consent; (e) If, prior to authorization of such variance, the Authority has given notice of the application in accordance with Regulation 22 and has considered any objections or representations which may have been received on the matter. (3) Variance from these Regulations pursuant to Regulation 11(1) shall not be authorized if such variance, when considered together with other variances made or to be made in respect of the same land, building or structure, would have a cumulative effect contrary to the general intent of these Regulations, the Municipal Plan, or any further scheme, plan or regulation pursuant thereto, even though the variances individually would not have such effect. 12. Service Levy (1) The Authority may require a developer to pay a service levy where development is made possible or where the density of potential development is increased, or where the value of property is enhanced by the carrying out of public works either on or off the site of the development. (2) A service levy shall not exceed the cost, or estimated cost, including finance charges to the Authority of constructing or improving the public works referred to in Regulation 12(1) that are necessary for the real property to be developed in accordance with the standards required by the Authority and for uses that are permitted on that real property. 5 (3) A service levy shall be assessed on the real property based on: (a) The amount of real property benefitted by the public work related to all the real property so benefitted; and, (b) The density of development made capable or increased by the public work. (4) The Authority may require a service levy to be paid by the owner of the real property: (a) At the time the levy is imposed; (b) At the time development of the real property commenceS; (c) At the time development of the real property is completed; or, (d) At such other time as the Authority may decide. 13. Financial Guarantees by Developer (1) The Authority may require a developer before commencing a development to make such financial provisions and/or enter into such agreements as may be required to guarantee the payment of service levies, ensure site reinstatement, and to enforce the carrying out of any other condition attached to a permit or license. (2) The financial provisions pursuant to Regulation 13(1) may be made in the form of: (a) A cash deposit from the developer, to be held by the Authority; or, (b) A guarantee by a bank, or other institution acceptable to the Minister, for expenditures by the developer; or, (c) A performance bond provided by an insurance company or a bank; or, (d) An annual contribution to a sinking fund held by the Authority. 6 14. Dedication of Land for Public Use In addition to the requirements for dedication of land under Regulation 74, the Authority may require the dedication of a percentage of the land area of any subdivision or other development for public use, and such land shall be conveyed to the Authority in accordance with the provisions of the act. 15. Reinstatement of Land Where the use of land IS discontinued or the intensity of its use is decreased, the Authority may order the developer, the occupier of the site, or the owner or all of them to reinstate the site, to remove all or any buildings or erections, to cover or fill all wells or excavations, and to close all or any accesses, or to do any of these things or all of them, as the case may be, and the developer, occupier or owner shall carry out the order of the Authority and shall put the site in a clean and sanitary condition to the satisfaction of the Authority. 16. Form of Application (1) An application for a development permit or for outline planning permission shall be made only by the owner or by a person authorized by the owner to the Authority on such form as may be prescribed by the Authority, and every application shall include such plans, specifications and drawings as the Authority may require, and be accompanied by the permit fee required by the Authority. (2) The Authority shall, on request, supply to every applicant a copy of the application forms referred to in Regulation 16(1) and a description of the plans, specifications and drawings required to be provided with the application. 7 17. Register of Application The Authority shall keep a public register of all applications for development, and shall enter therein the Authority's decision upon each application and the result of any appeal from that decision. 18. Deferment of Application (1) The authority may, with the written agreement of the applicant, defer consideration of an application. (2) Applications properly submitted in accordance with these Regulations which have not been determined by the Authority and on which a decision has not been communicated to the applicant within eight weeks of the receipt thereof by the Authority, and on which consideration has not been deferred in accordance with Regulation 18(1), shall be deemed to be refused. 19. Outline Planning Permission (1) The Authority may grant outline planning permission for the erection, alteration or conversion of a building if, after considering an application for outline planning permission made under these Regulations, it is satisfied that the proposed development is, subject to the approval of detailed plans, in compliance with these Regulations. (2) Where outline planning permission is granted under this Regulation, it shall be subject to the subsequent approval by the Authority of such details as may be listed in the outline planning permission, which shall also specify that further application for approval of these details shall be received not later than two years from the grant of outline planning permission. 8 20. Development Permit (1) A plan or drawing which has been approved by the Authority and which bears a mark and/or signature indicating such approval together with a permit shall be deemed to be permission to develop land in accordance with these Regulations but such permission shall not relieve the applicant from full responsibility for obtaining permits or approvals under any other regulation or statute prior to commencing the development; from having the work carried out in accordance with these Regulations or any other regulations or statutes; and from compliance with all conditions imposed thereunder. (2) The Authority may attach to a permit or to outline planning permission such conditions as it deems fit in order to ensure that the proposed development will be in accordance with the purpose and intent of these Regulations. (3) Where the Authority deems necessary, permits may be issued on a temporary basis for a period not exceeding two years, which may be extended in writing by the Authority for further periods not exceeding two years. (4) A permit is valid for such period, not in excess of two years, as may be stated therein, and if the development has not commenced, the permit may be renewed for a further period not in excess for one year, but a permit shall not be renewed more than once, except in the case of a permit for an advertisement, which may be renewed in accordance with Part III of these Regulations. (5) The approval of any application and plans or drawings or the issue of a permit shall not prevent the Authority from thereafter requiring the correction of errors, or from ordering the cessation, removal of, or remedial work on any development being carried out in the event that the same is in violation of this or any other regulations or statute. (6) The Authority may revoke a permit for failure by the holder of it to comply with these Regulations or any condition attached to the permit or where the permit was issued in error or was issued on the basis of incorrect information. (7) No person shall erase, alter or modify any drawing or specifications upon which a permit to develop has been issued by the Authority. 9 (8) There shall be kept available on the premises where any work, matter or thing is being done for which a permit has been issued, a copy of the permit and any plans, drawings or specifications on which the issue of the permit was based during the whole progress of the work, or the doing of the matter or thing until completion. 21. Reasons for Refusing Permit The Authority shall, when refusing to issue a permit or attaching conditions to a permit, state the reason for so doing. 22. Notice of Application The Authority may, and when a variance is necessary under Regulation 11, when a change in nonconforming use is to be considered under Regulation 45, or when the development is listed as a discretionary use in schedule C of the Regulations shall, at the expense of the applicant, give notice of an application for a permit or for outline planning permission, by public advertisement in a newspaper circulating in the area or by any other means deemed necessary. 23. Right of Entry The Authority, the Director, or any inspector may enter upon any public or private land and may at all reasonable times enter any development or building upon the land for the purpose of making surveys or examinations or obtaining information relative to the carrying out of any development, construction, alteration, repair or any other works whatsoever which the Authority is empowered to regulate. 24. Record of Violations Every inspector shall keep a record of any violation of these Regulations which comes to his knowledge and report that violation to the Authority. 10 25.

Appeal Board to Act as Local Board of Appeal Where a Local Board of Appeal has not been appointed and approved by the Minister under Regulation 27(1), the appropriate Appeal Board established under the provisions of the Act shall be deemed to have been appointed as the Local Board of Appeal, and shall carry out the functions and exercise the same powers as if it were appointed a Local Board of Appeal under Regulation 27(1), but it shall not be obliged to hold appeal hearings within the time limits established under there Regulations. 29. Appeals to Local Board of Appeal (1) The Local Board of Appeal shall hear appeals from decisions of the Authority made under these Regulations and shall either confirm the decision or recommend to the Authority that the decision be varied or reversed.

(7) The Authority and the appellant are entitled, but are not bound, to appear before the Local Board of Appeal either personally or by representatives appointed by them. 12 (8) The Local Board of Appeal shall consider and determine each appeal in accordance with the intent of these Regulations and the Municipal Plan and any further plan, scheme or regulations that are in force, having due regard to the circumstances and merits of the particular case and the use of discretionary powers by the Authority. (9) In determining an appeal, the Local Board of Appeal shall be bound by the Municipal Plan and any further scheme or plan that is in force under the Act. (10) Every member of a Local Board of Appeal shall be subject to the provisions of the Municipalities Act with respect to conflict of interest as if he were a councilor elected under the Act. (11) The decision of a majority of the members of the Local Board of Appeal present, excluding all members prohibited from voting because of conflict of interest, shall be the decision of the Board whose decision shall not be subject to further appeals to any other Appeal Board constituted under the Act. (12) If a Local Board of Appeal is unable to decide an appeal because of the conflict of interest of a majority of its members, the Authority shall, subject to the approval of the Minister, and for that appeal only, appoint other persons to replace those members so affected. 30. Effect of Decision by Local Board of Appeal The Authority shall be bound to carry out the recommendations of the Local Board of Appeal unless another course of action is determined by a vote of two-thirds of the members of the Authority, which action shall not be subject to further appeal. 31.

(2) No vehicular access shall be closer than 10 metres to the street line of any street intersection. 33. Accessory Buildings (1) Accessory buildings shall be clearly incidental and complementary to the use of the main buildings in character, use and size, and shall be contained on the same lot. (2) No accessory building or part thereof shall project in front of any building line. (3) The side yard requirements set out in the use zone tables in these Regulations shall apply to accessory buildings wherever they are located on the lot but accessory buildings on two (2) adjoining properties may be built to property boundaries provided they shall be of fire resistant construction and have a common firewall. 34. Advertisements Advertisements shall not be erected or displayed except in accordance with Part III of these Regulations. 35. Buffer Strips Where any industrial development permitted in any Use Zone abuts an existing or proposed residential area, or is separated from it by a road only, the owner of the site of the industrial development shall provide a buffer strip not less than ten (10) metres wide between any residential activity and the provision of such natural or structural barrier as 14 may be required by the Authority and shall be maintained by the owner or occupier to the satisfaction of the Authority. 36. Building Height The Authority may permit the erection of buildings of a height greater than that specified in Schedule C, but in such cases the building line setback and rear yard requirements shall be varied as follows: (1) The building line setback shall be increased by 2 metres for every 1 metre increase in height. (2) The rear yard shall not be less than the minimum building line setback calculated as described in (1) above plus 6 metres. 37. Building Line and Setback The Authority, by resolution, may establish building lines on any existing or proposed street or service street and may require any new buildings to be located on those building lines, whether or not such building lines conform to the standards set out in the tables in Schedule C of these Regulations. 38. Family and Group Care Centres Family and group care use is permitted in any swelling or apartment that is adequate in size to accommodate the number of persons living in the group, inclusive of staff, provided that in the opinion of the Authority, the use of the dwelling does not materially differ from, nor adversely affect, the amenities of the adjacent residences, or the neighborhood in which it is located. The Authority may require special access and safety features to be provided for the occupants before occupancy is permitted. 15 39. Height Exceptions The height requirements prescribed in Schedule C of these Regulations may be waived in the case of communication masts and antennae, flagpoles, water towers, spires, belfries, or chimneys, but any such waiver which results in an increase of more than 20% in the permitted height of the structure shall only be authorized under the provisions of Regulation 11. 40. Livestock Structures and Uses (1) No structure designed to contain more than five animal units shall be erected or used unless it complies with the following requirements: (a) the structure shall be at least 600 m from a residence (except a farm residence), and from an area designated for residential use in an approved Plan, and from a Provincial or Federal Park. (b) the structure shall be at least 60 m from the boundary of the property on which it is to be erected. (c) the structure shall be at least 90 m from the center line of a street. (d) the erection of the structure shall be approved by the Department of Rural, Agriculture and Northern Development and the Department of the Environment. (2) No development for residential use shall be permitted within 600 m of an existing structure designed to contain more than five animal units unless the development is first approved by the Department of Rural, Agricultural and Northern Development. 41. Lot Area (1) No lot shall be reduced in area, either by the conveyance or alienation of any portion thereof or otherwise, so that any building or structure on such lot shall 16 have a lot coverage that exceeds, or a frontage or lot area that is less than that permitted by these Regulations for the zone in which such lot is located. (2) Where any part of a lot is required by these Regulations to be reserved as a yard, it shall continue to be so used regardless of any change in the ownership of the lot or any part thereof, and shall not be deemed to form part of an adjacent lot for the purpose of computing the area thereof available for building purposes. 42. Lot Area and Size Exceptions Where, at the time of coming into effect of these Regulations, one or more lots already exist in any residential zone, with insufficient frontage or area to permit the owner or purchaser of such a lot or lots to comply with the provisions of these Regulations, then these Regulations shall not prevent the issuing of a permit by the Authority for the erection of a dwelling thereon, provided that the lot coverage and height are not greater than, and the yards and floor area are not less than the standards set out in these Regulations. 43. Lot Frontage Except where specifically provided for in the Use Zone Tables in Schedule C of these Regulations, no residential or commercial building shall be erected unless the lot on which it is situated fronts directly onto a street or forms part of a Comprehensive Development Scheme. 44. Mobile Homes (1) Groups of more than five mobile homes shall be located only in approved mobile home parks and mobile home subdivisions in Residential Use Zones so designated and shall conform to the requirements of the Provincial Mobile Home Development Regulations currently in effect. 17 (2) No development permit shall be issued for a mobile home lot unless it conforms with the requirements of Regulation 23 of the Mobile Home Development Regulations. 45.
