Image: TantramarNB on Youtube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tantramar council has approved a motion asking staff to come up with a draft bylaw \u201cto regulate tall grass or vegetative growth within Tantramar.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Councillor Matt Estabrooks brought the motion forward in response to concerns he has heard from residents about possible fire hazards of long, dried grass near buildings, issues with long grass providing habitat for rodents, and the effect of unkept lawns on neighbouring property values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=anthPi5fysg\">slide presentation to council on Monday<\/a>, Estabrooks said the Local Government Act\u2019s dangerous or unsightly provisions do not cover lawns, and cited some other municipalities with lawn bylaws including Moncton, Riverview and Dieppe. Estabrooks said the intention of the new bylaw would be properties inside residential zones, \u201cnot farmer\u2019s fields, or woodlands and fields without housing on the outskirts of our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Estabrooks also said he is \u201cnot necessarily convinced that a length measurement of grasses on residential lawns is a necessary component of this bylaw.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI feel discretion is critical in this area of the bylaw,\u201d said Estabrooks. \u201cI\u2019m sure staff will determine how to quantify \u2018unkept\u2019 when or if they&#8217;re in research stage for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Moncton and Riverview have bylaws that establish lawn height limits, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dieppe.ca\/en\/nouvelles\/dieppe-fait-place-aux-fleurs.aspx\">Dieppe recently amended its bylaw<\/a> to remove a 20 cm height restriction, noting that Canadian case law suggests that \u201caesthetic criteria for lawn maintenance are arbitrary and unconstitutional.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dieppe says it is no longer regulating the maximum height of vegetation on private property, but property owners will have to remove harmful, toxic or dangerous plants; comply with directives by the city\u2019s fire or environment departments; and make sure growth doesn\u2019t block traffic, visibility, signs and street lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2018, the former Sackville town council refused to pursue a lawn bylaw after hearing a report from then-manager of corporate projects Jamie Burke on the pros and cons. Burke\u2019s report came in response to a call for a bylaw from Councillor Joyce O\u2019Neill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L<a href=\"https:\/\/warktimes.com\/2018\/10\/10\/council-news-mitton-resigns-her-seat-opening-way-for-by-election-in-may-sackville-wont-enact-a-tall-grass-bylaw\/\">ocal reporter Bruce Wark documented the discussion, <\/a>and reported that the town\u2019s bylaw officer had in 2018 issued a warning to a resident with a wildflower-filled lawn under <a href=\"https:\/\/sackville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/By-Law-No.-209-Maintenance-and-Occupancy-Standards.pdf\">Sackville\u2019s bylaw 209<\/a>. The Maintenance and Occupancy Standards for Residential Properties bylaw relies on <a href=\"https:\/\/laws.gnb.ca\/en\/document\/cr\/84-86%20\/\">provincial regulation 84-86<\/a>, which currently requires homeowners to make sure their yards are \u201cfree of rag weed, poison ivy, poison sumac and other noxious plants,\u201d but does not mention grass length. The bylaw is still on the books in Tantramar, applicable within former town of Sackville boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before Estabrooks\u2019 motion passed unanimously on Monday, he listed some of the considerations he\u2019d like to see included in a draft bylaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"713\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-11-at-1.09.05-PM-1280x713.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-11-at-1.09.05-PM-1280x713.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-11-at-1.09.05-PM-600x334.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-11-at-1.09.05-PM-768x428.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-11-at-1.09.05-PM-1536x855.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-11-at-1.09.05-PM-1320x735.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-11-at-1.09.05-PM.jpg 1920w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A slide from a presentation by Councillor Matt Estabrooks to Tantramar council on September 9, 2024.

The intention is to mitigate properties which are completely unkept, and therefore present safety concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Town staff are now expected to bring a draft bylaw \u201cto regulate tall grass or vegetative growth within Tantramar\u201d to a future meeting of council\u2019s committee of the whole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tantramar council has approved a motion asking staff to come up with a draft bylaw \u201cto regulate tall grass or vegetative growth within Tantramar.\u201d Councillor Matt Estabrooks brought the motion [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":51302,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_tec_requires_first_save":true,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_tribe_blocks_recurrence_rules":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_description":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_exclusions":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[472,492,482,558],"tags":[1518,1273,1517],"class_list":["post-51298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-daily-news","category-front-page","category-weekly","tag-bylaws","tag-council","tag-estabrooks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tantramar council okays Estabrooks&#039;
