sdiction of In Water Structures
North Kawartha Council passed the following motion at the May 7, 2019 regular meeting of Council regarding jurisdiction of In Water Structures.
"That the Council of the Township of North Kawartha hereby adopts and affirms the following statement on the 7th day of May, 2019:
To comply with the endorsement of the Honourable Mr. Justice Perell, the Corporation of the Township of North Kawartha will assume jurisdiction over the Lands within the Township for the issuance of permits for in water structures pursuant to the provisions of the Ontario Building Code, 1992, as amended.
With respect to those Lands which form part of Ontario Parks (www.ontarioparks.ca) or Conservation Reserve as identified by Ontario Parks, the Township will assert no jurisdiction for such lands and therefore will not be issuing building permits for structures pursuant to the Building Code Act for in water structures.
Any work undertaken in the water will require a Shoreline Work Permit from Ontario Parks (Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park)
Further, the Parks Canada Act identifies waterbodies under the jurisdiction of Parks Canada (www.parkscanada.gc.ca). Trent Severn waterway is part of Park Canada and includes Stoney Lake. Therefore North Kawartha will not be issuing building permits pursuant to the Building Code Act for structures in those waterbodies under the jurisdiction of Parks Canada.
Any work undertaken in the water will require a Shoreline Work Permit from Parks Canada/Trent Severn Waterway.
All lakes not under the jurisdiction of Ontario Parks or Parks Canada will be subject to Comprehensive Zoning By-law # 2016-061 for the Corporation of the Township of North Kawartha.
