Building permits won91裸聊视频檛 be issued for the time being in fire-impacted areas of the Shuswap.

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) announced Friday, Sept. 15, 2023, it will be temporarily suspending the issuance of building permits and building inspections in areas damaged by the Bush Creek East wildfire. This suspension will continue until the results of geotechnical assessments are received.

The decision was released from the closed art of the Sept. 14, 2023, CSRD board meeting.

Assessments have already begun, conducted by BGC Engineering Ltd., covering areas of the North Shuswap, Adams Lake and Sorrento, reads a CSRD release.

91裸聊视频淭hroughout this emergency, public safety has been the number one priority. It is critical we continue to ensure the safety of residents from the potential hazards that come into play for these burned areas,91裸聊视频 says Gerald Christie, Manager of Development Services. 91裸聊视频淥nce we have more information about the level of risk, we will be able to remove properties in low-risk areas from the moratorium.91裸聊视频

Preliminary findings should be available in four to six weeks, with full results taking up to three months, said the CSRD.

Some property owners may be exempt if they submit a report from a certified professional engineer or geoscientist that the land may be used safely, the regional district added.

The permit moratorium does not mean residents can91裸聊视频檛 begin the process of rebuilding, which can start with property clean-up and having danger tree assessments done before the building permit stage. Planning requirements must be confirmed with the CSRD. before applying for a permit.
