No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the by-law was passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.

If you intend to appeal this zoning by-law, a Notice of Appeal must be filed with the Clerk-Treasurer of the Village of Hilton Beach, no later than 20 days from the date of this Notice for each by-law and shall include:
