Joel Dyck, a REALTOR® with Real Broker SK Ltd., has watched neighbours get further by asking for enforceable conditions attached to the permit than by opposing a project that the City is likely to approve anyway under its zoning bylaw.
Monitoring is a third path. A homeowner can simply track a project's status through the City of Saskatoon's permit records and decide later whether it actually affects their street, rather than committing time to a fight before there is anything concrete to react to.
