1 Procedure for Uncovered Deck Dock, or Shoreline Storage Building:- Shed, Boathouse, Dryland Boathouse or Boatport Note: A Maximum of two (2) Docks or one (1) Dock and one (1) Shoreline Storage Building (with or without an attached Dock), shall be permitted on each lot, except as otherwise prohibited. All construction work on uncovered decks, docks and shoreline storage buildings require a building permit from the Town of Gravenhurst. Please be advised that if you require Planning Approval we cannot issue a building permit until the planning approval is retained. As a landowner, you are required to provide the following items that will form part of a complete application including the applicable fee: 1. If you are doing any new construction or additions to an existing structure within the shoreline development area, you may require Planning Approval. 2. A Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing application fully completed including Roll No; 3. A Site Plan, including information from a survey, showing existing and proposed structures with dimensions and distances from property lines to scale in metric clearly shown; 4. Drawings of the proposed structure (including existing structures, if the project is for an addition/alteration), including a building plan, elevation(s), section and structural information that accurately describe the project. All steel docks that will support a structure must also comply with Steel Dock with Structure Permit Policy; 5. A letter of approval or permit number (if applicable) from the Ministry of Natural Resources, and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. This applies to all docks where the total area of cribs exceeds 161 square feet. Renovations or repairs to the existing structure do not require a Ministry permit; 6. Owners with structures located on the Original Lakeshore Road Allowance must have a License of Occupation or have compiled with Town of Gravenhurst policy The Building Department can only accept and review complete applications and plans. The review is to ensure that they meet Ontario Building Codes, Municipal by-laws and other applicable law. If the project requires a septic approval, the building permit will not be issued until such approval is granted.

2 Steel Dock with Structure Permit POLICY 1) Steel docks that are to support a superstructure are required to be designed by a professional engineer. The Ontario Building Code states in Sentence (1) that structural steel be designed in accordance with CAN/CSA S16 Limit States Design of Steel Structures. This design is required in order to obtain a building permit. 2) Fabricators and erectors responsible for making welds for structures fabricated or erected under this Standard shall be certified by the Canadian Welding Bureau to the requirements of CSA Standard W47.1(Division 1 or Division 2). A Letter of Validation is required from the fabricator to verify certification. Companies certified in Division 1 of 2 are required to employ or retain Welding Engineer. These Welding Engineers are an essential component of a company s certification and perform many tasks including the review of drawings for welding connection details and welding symbols, and the preparation of welding procedure data sheets. Note that the structural Engineers who complete the design drawings are not considered as one of the requirements of certification. It is possible, however, that the structural Engineer and Welding Engineer be the same person. 3) The company that employs the welder must also have an individual qualified by the Canadian Welding Bureau as a supervisor. The supervisor is responsible for supervising the welder carrying out the welds on the structure. All welders employed by the certified company must hold valid qualifications issued by the Canadian Welding Bureau. A Welding Supervisor Certification is required to be provided to the Building Department. 4) Construction of a dock is to be inspected by the professional Engineer who designed the structure, to ensure compliance with his design. 5) Building permits will not be issued for the superstructure unless certificates of qualification submitted to the municipality for both the welder and supervisor, accompanied with a letter stating they have been contracted to construct the superstructure. A final inspection will not be conducted until the municipality receives a letter from the professional engineer stating that the structure has been constructed in-accordance with the design.
