Bylaw No. 11-2002
9 | P a g e
2.1
General
Bylaw No. 11-2002
No building or structure shall be located on land that, in the opinion of a professional
consultant, may be prone to an unacceptable potential for, or degree of, detrimental impact on
the health or safety of people, property, or the environment from slumping, subsidence,
landslides, erosion, or any other landform instability. No residential building shall be located
in any area that is flood plain or watercourse within regulatory setbacks from any land fill site
or sewage lagoon under permit or license with Saskatchewan Environment, or where an all
weather access road would be prohibitively expensive to construct or maintain. Where
Council has information indicating, or reason to believe, that any of the above-mentioned
conditions may exist on a particular site, Council shall require the proponent of a development
to provide an analysis of the conditions of concern, and such analysis shall be prepare by
qualified environmental scientist practicing in the applicable field of expertise (i.e., slope
instability shall be assessed by a geotechnical engineer).
Bylaw No. 05-1998
A development permit shall not be issued, nor shall an application for subdivision be
supported, unless either a) the report by a professional consultant indicates that either there is
no actual or potential hazard to residents, or b) that the hazards and their potential
consequences are clearly defined and found to be acceptable to the Developer, Council, and
any other known party potentially affected.
2.2
Slope Instability and Erosion
Bylaw No. 11-2002
Any application for a development permit and/or building permit on any parcel of land within
an area that may be prone to slumping, subsidence, landslides, erosion or any other instability,
must be accompanied by a detailed site analysis prepared by a geological engineer registered
in the Province of Saskatchewan. The site analysis shall indicate topography, surface
drainage, geological, hydrogeological, and geotechnical conditions at the site of the proposed
development and related to the conditions of the general area as they relate to slope instability
and erosion hazards. Based on sufficient field investigations to respond with reasonable
confidence, the geotechnical engineer shall answer the following questions:
(i) Will the proposed development be detrimentally affected by natural erosion or slope
instability?
(ii) Will the proposed development increase the potential for erosion or slope instability that
may affect the proposed development, or any other property?
Unless the geotechnical engineer can answer "no" in response to both of the above questions
(indicating that known or suspected slumping, subsidence, landslides, erosion or any other
instability is not a hazard), further analysis will be required. The required analysis must define
the hazard as it may affect the proposed development and any other potentially affected
property. The engineering report will identify hazard mitigation measures including
engineered works, land use controls prepared by a professional community planner, and other
measures deemed to be effective in eliminating or managing anticipated residual hazards.
Necessary monitoring also will be identified along with the purpose of the monitoring, how
monitoring results will be assessed and interpreted, and the required actions should the
recommended monitoring indicate and actual or potential problems. The responsibility for
monitoring and responding to monitoring findings shall be resolved before approval is
granted.
Any building foundation plans accompanying a development permit application for a site on
land prone to slumping, subsidence, landslides, erosion or any other instability must be
approved and stamped by a structural engineer and a geotechnical engineer registered in the
Province of Saskatchewan.

Number of Principal Buildings Permitted on a Lot or Parcel
Bylaw No. 12-2005
