intentionally started by the owner, may be rebuilt at the existing location, provided that any provincial approval that may be required has
been obtained.
**
Council may reduce the prescribed distances contained in Table 7-1 where:
(i)
the land being separated is located in another Rural Municipality;
(ii)
the Council of the other affected Rural Municipality is consulted prior to approval of the proposed development; and
(iii)
appropriate fencing, screening, landscaping, berming, building and site orientation, road upgrading or other similar
measures are provided to mitigate potential land use conflicts.
*** Distances measured between livestock facilities and building development shall mean the distance between the closest points on the outside
wall of the livestock facility and the closest building development. For the purposes of meaning distance, building development shall refer
to the outside wall of the closest primary structure that meets the definition of "building development", whether or not that structure is a
stand-alone structure or is found within a residential subdivision, hamlet, village or town.
... to the nearest residential building, corporate limit, ILO, airport
or airstrip, gravel pit, anhydrous ammonia storage facility, waste
management facility, or to the site lines for other uses.
