Title
Security for relocated buildings and structures
Body
Purpose
Administration is bringing forward this item for GPC's discussion.
Summary
The Land Use Bylaw (20-2009) states in Section 11.6 that security shall be taken for any application related to a previously owned building that will be relocated on site. As part of the Development Permit application, the applicant is required to provide photos showing the condition of the building. Another condition of approval requires the applicant to submit either $5,000.00 security deposit for a single detached dwelling or double-wide manufactured home accessory building, or $10,000.00 security deposit for a single detached dwelling or double-wide manufactured home (typically determined by the extent of the required modifications deemed necessary to permit the relocation of the structure).
The purpose of the security is to ensure that any modifications to the building are completed after the residence or building is moved on to the site. Modifications would typically include repairs of any damage to the building as a result of the move (if any), foundation and/or skirting and landings. If modifications are required to the exterior siding, roof, windows, to ensure that the building is finished in a manner that is compatible with the existing neighbourhood, these could also be required under the Development Permit conditions of approval.
Once the building has been relocated and any modifications completed, a Development Officer conducta a site inspection and the security deposit is returned to the applicant.
These requirements are in accordance with Parkland County's Land Use Bylaw since 2000, and in the Fees and Charges Policy.
