A minor exemption request begins with an application made on the Request for a Minor Exemption Form to the Urban Planning and Building Inspections Department, clearly explaining why a minor exemption is being requested and what prejudices exist. In addition, two (2) sets of plans and a non-reimbursable application fee equal to $ 900 for the study of the application and the publication of the public notice.

(Applicants whose requests are refused will be reimbursed an amount equal to $400 upon receipt of a letter withdrawing said request, and this, before the public notice is published.)

Anyone other than the property owner requesting a minor exemption requires written authorization from the property owner.

At least 15 days prior to the meeting where the Town Council shall rule on the application, a notice will be published in a local newspaper stating:

• When the request will be presented to Council for consideration;
• That any interested person may be heard by the Town Council in relation to the application.

The Director of the Urban Planning and Building Inspections, presents the request to the PAC for review at a monthly closed-door Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) meeting. The PAC is a working group consisting of two (2) Town Council members and five (5) residents with an expertise in architecture and urban planning. Some projects may be required to be submitted for acceptance before the obtention of a construction permit. The group examines projects and makes recommendations to the Council when individuals put up a new building, want to expand or make modifications to the exterior facades or want to demolish a building.
