that it be remedied.
This by-law will not be used to resolve issues between neighbours.
In view of the fact that the Municipality of Killarney has many diverse neighborhoods such as
village areas, waterfront residential, waterfront commercial, farmland and rural residential,
enforcement will have to be done with some discretion taking into consideration the complainant,
the geographic location of the property in question, the size of the property in question, the type
of property in question (farmland vs urban lot) and the effect of the infraction on adjacent
properties and the general well-being of the residents of the area, and the Municipality. As the
complaints and investigations become more numerous, past practice data as well as the consistent
application of the policy will become more evident and will act as a guide in the application of
the by-law.
This information is for convenience and quick reference only. For specific information,
