for development for reasons of ground
instability or erosion and areas that are
considered hazardous for development
in order to minimize property damage
due to flooding. The following regulations
are intended to apply supplementary
standards for development in natural
hazard areas.
No person shall within a Natural Hazard
Lands Overlay - NH use any land, or erect,
alter or use any building or structure, except
in accordance with the following provisions:
5.4.1
Unstable Slopes Site Development
Regulations
a) No new development shall be permitted
in any readily eroded or unstable slope
area if the proposed development will
be affected by or increase the potential
hazard presented by erosion or slope
instability.
b) For the purpose of this Bylaw, the area
considered to present potential erosion
and/or slope instability hazard includes
but is not limited to the slopes of Last
Mountain Lake and its tributary creeks
and gullies extending from the edge of
the flood plain in the valley, to the ridge
of the slope at the top, plus a setback of
40 metres and/or based on examples of
unstable slope conditions or associated
geotechnical reports.
c) Any application for a Development
Permit on any parcel of land that
lies wholly or partially within an
area designated within the Natural
Hazard Lands Overlay - NH must
be accompanied by a detailed site
analysis prepared by a geotechnical
engineer registered in the Province of
Saskatchewan. The site analysis shall
indicate topography, surface drainage,
geological, 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.
d) The engineering report will identify
hazard mitigation measures including
engineered works and other measures
deemed to be effective in eliminating
or managing anticipated erosion and
slope stability impacts, and will identify
and explain known and suspected
residual hazards. The responsibility
The Resort Village of Saskatchewan Beach: Zoning Bylaw (Bylaw No. 9-2023)
25
for monitoring and responding to
monitored findings shall be resolved
before approval is granted.
e) A development permit shall not
be issued unless the report on the
site, presented by the professional
consultant, indicates that the site is
suitable for development or outlines
suitable mitigating measures and
documents residual hazard. If such
an evaluation is not done, or having
been done, and it is determined
that excessive remedial or servicing
measures are necessary to safely and
efficiently accommodate the proposed
development, Council shall not be
required to approve the application for
development.
5.4.2
Flood Hazard Areas Site
Development Regulations
a) A development permit shall not be
issued for any land use, erection,
alteration or use of any building or
structure within the Natural Hazard
Lands Overlay - NH unless the site/
development meets approved flood
proofing measures to the 1:500
Estimated Peak Water Level, plus an
additional ½ metre freeboard elevation.
b) No person shall backfill, grade, deposit
earth or other material, excavate, or
store goods or materials on these lands.
c) No new development shall be permitted
in any readily eroded or unstable slope
area if the proposed development will
be affected by or increase the potential
hazard presented by erosion or slope
instability.
d) "Hazardous Substances and Waste
Dangerous Goods" are prohibited, as
defined by the Hazardous Substances
and Waste Dangerous Goods Control
Regulations of the Environmental
Management and Protection Act of
Saskatchewan.
e) For all proposed development in this
cautionary area, the developer shall be
responsible to obtain and determine
the 1:500 year Estimated Peak Water
Level to determine the Safe Building
Elevations as determined and provided
The Resort Village of Saskatchewan Beach: Zoning Bylaw (Bylaw No. 9-2023)
26
by the Water Security Agency when
possible or the developer shall be
responsible for the cost.
f) Notwithstanding any other portion of
this bylaw, the development of new
buildings and/or additions to buildings
in the flood way of the 1:500 year flood
way elevation of any watercourse or
water body is prohibited. In addition,
development in the 1:500 year flood
fringe is not allowed unless flood
proofed up to an elevation of 0.5 metres
above the 1:500 estimated peak water
level to be determined by a qualified
hydraulic engineer or as established by
the Water Security Agency.
g) Any existing buildings may be replaced
or expanded subject to appropriate
flood proofing measures being
provided.
h) For the purpose of this Bylaw,
appropriate flood proofing measures
shall mean:
i. That all buildings shall be designed
to prevent structural damage by
flood waters;
ii. The first floor of all buildings shall
be constructed above the designated
flood design elevation; and
iii. All electrical and mechanical
equipment within a building shall
