The applicant shall limit the surface area of erodible earth material exposed by clearing, grubbing,
excavation, and fill operations, and permanent or temporary control measures shall be taken to
prevent contamination of adjacent streams or other water courses, lakes, ponds, or other areas of
water impoundment. Such work will involve the construction of temporary ditches, filters, dikes,
dams, sediment basins, slope drains, and use of temporary mulches, mats, seeding or other
control devices or methods necessary to control erosion and sedimentation.
4.25.6
The applicant shall incorporate all permanent erosion control features into the project at the
earliest possible time. Except where future construction operations will damage slopes, the
Contractor shall perform the permanent seeding and mulching and other specified slope
protection work in stages, as soon as substantial areas of exposed slopes and final grades can
be made available. If seeding or another vegetative erosion control method is used, it shall
Part C - Residential Zoning Districts
become established within two weeks or may require the site to be reseeded or a non-vegetative
option employed.
4.25.7
Temporary control measures will be used when and as directed by the Director of Engineering to
correct conditions that develop during construction that were not foreseen during the design
stage; that are needed prior to installation of permanent control features; or that are needed
temporarily to control erosion that develops during normal construction practices, but are not
associated with permanent control features of the project.

installed may be supplied by any new service connections from these overhead lines, but any new
service connection from the Utility's overhead lines shall be installed underground. In cases where the
total electrical and telephone load and service cannot be determined in advance, such as industrial parks,
shopping centres, etc., perimeter utility poles may be used, but service to buildings from poles shall be
underground.
Section 4.27
STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
4.27.1
All streets shall be provided with storm water inlets and pipes where the same may be necessary
for proper surface drainage. The system shall be adequate to store the storm water and carry off
and/or store natural drainage water which originates beyond the development boundaries and
passes through the development, calculated on the basis of maximum potential development as
permitted in this Bylaw.
4.27.2
No storm water runoff or natural drainage water shall be so diverted as to overload existing
drainage systems or create flooding or the need for additional drainage structures on other lands
without proper and approved provisions being made for taking care of these conditions, including
off tract improvements. All drainage design and computation factors shall be submitted to the
City's Director of Engineering for review and approval and should conform to the requirements of

points to buildings on the site. Such facilities shall comply with the following design, development
and maintenance standards:
A) Continuous and raised poured concrete curbing of not less than 150mm in height
shall be provided adjacent to all parking lot edges, traffic islands, and required
landscaped areas. In addition, concrete curb stops shall be placed at the back of
each parking stall that is located adjacent to a curb, to ensure that vehicles do not
overhang boulevards, sidewalks, or required landscaped areas. Curbing shall also
be required to clearly demarcate an internal roadway and the required portion of
driveway leading to an internal roadway, aisle, ramp, parking space or loading space.
B) All parking and loading spaces shall have adequate and appropriate storm water
drainage and storage facilities.
C) Hard-surfacing shall mean the provision of a durable, dust-free, properly drained hard
surface constructed of concrete, or asphalt. Crushed, compacted gravel or rock will
not be considered to meet the requirements for hard-surfacing. Hard-surfacing and
curbing of off-street parking spaces shall conform to the following:
i.
In all residential districts, every off-street parking and loading space and the
access thereto, including the whole area contained within the municipal land
to which the curb-crossing permit applies, shall be hard-surfaced if the
number of parking spaces exceeds two (2) and if the access thereto is from a
street or lane which is hard-surfaced.
ii.
In all commercial and institutional districts, every off-street parking and
loading space and the access thereto, including the whole area contained
within the municipal land to which the curb-crossing permit applies, shall be
hard-surfaced if the access thereto is from a street or lane which is hard-
surfaced.
iii.
In all industrial districts, every off-street parking and loading space and the
access thereto, including the whole area contained within the municipal land
to which the curb crossing permit applies, shall be hard-surfaced if the
access thereto is available from a street or lane which is hard-surfaced, or if
such area lies in front of the principal building, or under any other
circumstances at the discretion of the Development Officer. Any off-street
parking spaces at the rear or the side of the principal building need not be
hard-surfaced, unless at the discretion of the Development Officer it is
deemed necessary, and where it is not necessary it shall be of such surface
as will minimize the carrying of dirt or foreign matter onto the street.
iv.
At the discretion of Council, if the street or lane from which access is
available to any required parking space is hard-surfaced after the time at
which the parking space is provided or required, the person responsible for
the construction or maintenance of such parking space shall forthwith hard-
surface the parking space, the access thereto and the whole area contained
within the municipal land to which the curb crossing permit applies within one
year of the completion of the hard-surfacing of the street or lane.
v.
The provision of continuous and raised poured concrete curbing and hard-
surfacing of off-street parking areas shall be completed within 3 years of the

D) All parking areas providing five or more parking spaces shall be lighted in accordance
with the provisions specified in Section 4.28 of this Bylaw.
E) In developments where lighting of off-street parking and loading facilities is to be

residential purposes.
F) All required parking and loading spaces shall be clear of any access driveways,
aisles, ramps, columns, signs or other similar obstructions.
G) Adequate access to and exit from individual parking spaces is to be provided at all
times by means of unobstructed maneuvering aisles. Except for detached and two-
family dwelling units, parking areas shall be designed to permit each motor vehicle to
proceed to and from the parking space provided for it without requiring the moving of
any other motor vehicles. Aisles providing access to parking spaces shall have the
following minimum dimensions. Where the angle of parking is different on both sides
of the aisle the larger aisle width shall prevail.
The Development Officer may approve a reduction in maneuvering aisle width for
aisles within an underground or enclosed parking facility/structure.

adjoining zoning district or use, and enhance the view of the parking area from any
adjacent public roadway or walkway.
B) Each off-street parking area with ten or more spaces shall have a minimum area of
landscaped islands equivalent to one parking space per every twenty parking spaces in
the form of landscaped islands.
