BUILDING DEPARTMENT The Perth East Building Department: • Reviews applications for Building permits, • Issues building, demolition, sewage, and change of use permits, • Provides inspections during construction It is the responsibility of the property owner to ensure there is a building permit for any project they are undertaking. Contractors often apply and obtain permits as part of their contract with property owners.

WHAT IS A BUILDING PERMIT? A building permit is your documented permission to begin construction, demolition or another project as specified in the Ontario Building Code. Building permits are necessary to ensure that you or your contractor are following zoning, safety and structural standards.

WHEN IS A PERMIT REQUIRED? Permits are typically required for: • the construction, renovation or demolition of a building, • to change the use of a building, • the installation, alteration, extension, or repair of on-site sewage systems A permit is not required for a building occupying an area less than 10 square meters (107 square feet). Buildings under 10 square meters still require a permit if the building contains plumbing or is attached to another structure. All buildings regardless of size must comply with the applicable setbacks according to the zoning in which the structure is located, in accordance with the Township Zoning by-law. Throughout the permit process, you will be required to have at least one inspection during the process.

HOW DO I BOOK AN INSPECTION? All inspections are booked through the Building Department. There are two (2) ways to book an inspection. You can phone (519) 595-2800 ext. 241 to speak with the Building Assistant or make a request online at www.pertheast.ca/inspection.

The Building Department requires a minimum of 24 hours notice to complete inspections.

BY-LAW ENFORCEMENT The Township of Perth East By-law Enforcement Department is responsible for the investigation and enforcement of the Municipal By-laws. Our main goal is to promote community safety and wellbeing through both education and awareness.

BUILDING DEPARTMENT RADON GAS: IS IT IN YOUR HOME? Radon gas is a radioactive gas that occurs naturally when uranium in soil and rock breaks down: it is invisible, odourless and tasteless. When radon is released from the ground into the outdoor air, it is diluted and is not a concern. However, in enclosed spaces, it can sometimes accumulate to high levels, which can pose a health risk to you and your family. The only way to know if your home has high radon levels is to test for it.

As part of the Township’s Radon Gas Mitigation Program, a builder must put in place one of three radon gas mitigation options when constructing a new low-rise residential dwelling in Perth East: • Option #1: a rough-in soil gas pipe and mandatory radon gas testing • Option #2: a soil gas barrier on the foundation walls and basement floor slab, with voluntary radon gas testing • Option #3: a soil gas barrier on the foundation walls, and an active sub-slab depressurization system, with voluntary radon gas testing

DOG KENNEL APPLICATIONS / INQUIRIES Kennels within the Township of Perth East are regulated as per By-law 34-2015.

There are three different types of kennels that the Township regulates: • Breeding Kennel: where purebred dogs are kept for breeding, housing, or selling.

• Boarding Kennel: any building, structure, run or facility, or part thereof, used for the boarding (for hire), grooming, showing, training or temporarily housing of more than (1) dog.

• Hunting/Sporting/Sled Dog Kennel: any building, structure, dog run or other facility where dogs are kept solely for the purpose of routinely entering into dog sled or other sporting event; or hunting dogs are kept for the hunting purpose.

Kennels are only permitted within Agricultural zones. All kennels within the Township of Perth East must obtain a yearly Kennel License and are inspected by the By-law enforcement officer on a yearly basis.

PERTH EAST FIRE DEPARTMENT A CLEAN CHIMNEY IS A SAFER CHIMNEY Simple steps to prevent a fire: • Inspect & clean your chimney - especially important to do before heating season. Clear any obstructions and make sure the damper is working properly.

Cresote and soot build-up should be cleared. Consult a WETT (Wood Energy Technical Training) certified technician to be sure.

• Check woodstove pipes - make sure all joints are securely fastened • Burn dry, clean wood - to reduce build-up, burn only properly dried, seasoned wood. Never place plastics, wet or green wood in the fire. Never burn gift wrap in a fireplace or woodstove.

• Ash removal - ensure the ashes are cool before using a (metal, noncombustible) container to remove them. Take them directly outside and store in a non-combustible area well away from any structures.

OPEN-AIR BURNING You MUST obtain an open-air burn permit in order to burn!

Leaving a message with this information does not give you permission to burn.

You must obtain approval directly with staff.

There are a few rules with regard to having a controlled burn: • Stay with the controlled burn at all times and ensure the fire is fully extinguished at dark.

• Burn only clean materials (wood, brush, etc.) - do not burn household garbage, rubber or plastics.

• Your fire should not be a nuisance to neighbours in terms of smoke or noise, so be mindful of wind strength & direction • Consult the by-law for full rules and regulations To obtain a burn permit, please call (519) 595-2800 during regular municipal office hours. The Open-Air Controlled Burn By-law is available for you to view on the Perth East website.

SMOKE ALARMS

Every home in Ontario must have a working smoke alarm on every storey and outside all sleeping areas.

Homeowners - It is the responsibility of homeowners to install and maintain smoke alarms on every storey of their home and outside sleeping areas.

Landlords - It is the responsibility of landlords to ensure their rental properties comply with the law.

Tenants - If you are a tenant of a rental property and do not have the required number of smoke alarms, contact your landlord immediately. It is against the law for tenants to remove the batteries or tamper with the alarm in any way.

Home Escape Plans - Do you and your family know what to do and where to go when the smoke alarm sounds? Create and practice a home escape plan. Have two ways out of each room and choose a meeting place outside the home. www.pertheast.ca | page 21

PERTH EAST FIRE DEPARTMENT Only working smoke alarms save lives.

WORKING CO ALARMS YOUR EVERYDAY HERO RIGHT IN YOUR HOME Carbon monoxide is an odourless, invisible gas that can be fatal. Your only protection from this “silent killer” is a working CO alarm.

CO alarms must be installed outside all sleeping areas. If you cannot hear the alarm when it is sounding you will not get the necessary early detection when CO is present. Experts are also recommending one alarm for every level of the home.

Already have a CO alarm? Take a few minutes to check the date of manufacture / installation… Homes with CO alarms that are past their optimal life span may also put occupants at risk. What is sometimes misunderstood by many homeowners, is that CO alarms, like smoke alarms, do not last forever whether they are battery powered or hardwired.

Some symptoms of CO poisoning: • • • • •

Headache, nausea, burning eyes, fainting, confusion, drowsiness.

Often mistaken for common ailments like the flu Symptoms improve when away from the home for a period of time Symptoms experienced by more than one member of the household.

Continued exposure to higher levels may result in unconscious, brain damage and death.

• The elderly, children and people with heart or respiratory conditions may be particularly vulnerable to carbon monoxide.

HISTORY OF THE TOWNSHIP OF PERTH EAST The Township of Perth East was created on January 1, 1998, when the former Townships of Ellice, Mornington, North Easthope, South Easthope and the Village of Milverton officially amalgamated. The new municipality has over 7,000 hectares, 4,000 households and a total population of approximately 12,000. Perth East includes the villages, towns and communities of: Amulree, Brocksden, Brunner, Burns, Carthage, Dorking, Fernbank, Gadshill, Hesson, Kinkora, Kuhryville, Mennonite Corners, Millbank, Milverton, Moserville, Newton, Nithburg, Peffers, Poole, Punkeydoodles Corners, Ratzburg, Rostock, Sebastopol, Shakespeare, Topping, Tralee and Wartburg.

Check out some of Perth East’s history in person!

Brocksden School The Brocksden School Museum (Perth County’s oldest school house) is located on 2719 Line 37, in the former North Easthope Township. The school opened for grades 1-12 as a one room school house in 1853, and ran as a school until 1967. Since the school was reopened as a museum in 1969, the Easthope Historical Group has operated the school with a living history program during the spring and fall months.

Brocksden School 1955 Stratford-Perth Archives

We welcome school visits, group visits etc.

Fryfogel Tavern & Arboretum The Fryfogel Tavern & Arboretum is located on 1931 Line 34 in the former South Easthope Township. The Fryfogel Tavern was a 19th century stagecoach stop and resting place, located just east of Shakespeare. The tavern was built by Perth County’s first settler, Sebastian Fryfogel, in 1844, which also was used as a duplex, cheese factory and restaurant. It is now owned by the Stratford Perth Heritage Foundation. Around the tavern is a five-acre estate that has been developed as an Arboretum consisting of the flora native to South Western Ontario.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS STARTS WITH YOU Family Emergency Kit During an emergency you may have no electrical power or be asked to evacuate.

An emergency kit contains essential items you and your family need to survive on your own for at least 72 hours. Keep a kit at home, work and in your car. Your kit should be easy to carry and portable such as a knapsack or suitcase. Check the contents twice a year to ensure the freshness of food and water, and refresh items if needed.

KIT ESSENTIALS: o Non-perishable food o Prescription medication o Manual can opener o Bottled water (4L per person/day) o Flashlight, glow stick o Radio (w/batteries) or crank radio o First-aid kit o Whistle to signal for help

o Cell phone with chargers and backup battery o Clothing, footwear, blankets or sleeping bags o Moist towelettes, hand sanitizers and garbage bags for personal sanitation o Extra keys and cash o Copies of important papers (identification, insurance)

Customize your kit to meet the unique needs of your family. If you or someone in your household has a disability or special need, check out the Emergency Preparedness Guide for People with Disabilities/Special Needs at ontario.ca/ beprepared for additional information on what to include in your emergency kit and family plan.

Family Emergency Plan Ask an out-of-town friend or relative to be your family contact. Your contact should live outside of your home neighbourhood and everyone in your family should know their name, address and phone number. In an emergency, keep your family contact updated on your whereabouts and safety status.
