Overview

Its panels cover swimming pool enclosures, hot tubs, the visibility triangle with diagrams, height restrictions for front, rear and side yards, grade differences, cost sharing, fence variances and replacement fences, citing By-laws 2002-034, 2006-071 and 1991-084. It sits beside the longer Pool Permit Procedures and Guidelines and the Division Fence By-law procedural guide.
