for land plots on which non-residential buildings (structures) are located, except for objects for which this Regulation establishes otherwise, – on the side of the building facade (structure) located along the street roadway from the boundary of the land plot to the sidewalk (if it is absent – to the boundary of the street roadway, road), on the other sides of the land plot, half the distance of the gap to the boundary of the neighboring land plot is fixed, but not more than 30 meters;
for land plots on which industrial facilities located along the street roadway are located – from the boundary of the land plot to the sidewalk (if it is absent – to the boundary of the street roadway, road), on the other sides of the land plot, half the distance of the gap to the neighboring land plot is fixed, but not more than 30 meters, and if the land plot borders on lands of agricultural, environmental protection, health resort, recreational, historical and cultural designation, forest fund – up to the boundary of such lands, but not more than 5 meters from the boundary of the land plot;
for land plots on which gas stations, liquefied petroleum gas filling stations, car wash facilities are located,tire fitting workshops and technical service stations, – within the range of 15 to 100 meters from the boundary of the land plot, as well as access roads and parking lots to these facilities.
For land plots that are provided to (used by) budgetary organizations, homeowners' associations, and organizations developing apartment buildings, the dimensions (limits) of the respective territories are determined along the perimeter within the boundaries of the land plots provided to them (in their possession).
- by the Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus of 28.11.2012 No. 1087 "On Approval of the Rules for Improvement and Maintenance of Populated Areas":
Clause 26 - maintenance (operation) of the territory in the winter period includes clearing of snow and ice from the roadway and pedestrian paths, removal of snow and ice to approved snow storage sites, and is carried out in accordance with the requirements of technical regulatory legal acts regarding the operational condition, permissible for ensuring road traffic safety.
Clause 29 - street treatment works with anti-icing agents, formation of snowdrifts with subsequent removal of snow and ice are carried out in accordance with approved and ratified plans for the maintenance (operation) of streets and technological maps for the execution of these works for a specific street or section of the street-road network and, as a rule, should be completed before 8 a.m., and in conditions of heavysnowfalls, blizzards, and icy conditions are carried out around the clock with maximum ensuring normal and safe movement of transport and pedestrians.
para. 30 - priority is given to work on treatment with anti-icing agents and clearing of snow and ice from roadways, sidewalks, and public transport stop landing areas on sections of streets with steep slopes and routes of public transport, narrow streets, as well as bridges, overpasses, transport tunnels, pedestrian crossings, and other places where pedestrians and vehicles may accumulate.
para. 31 - the width of the snowdrift formed on the roadway of the street must comply with the requirements of technical regulatory legal acts and must not exceed 1 meter depending on the street category (number of traffic lanes, presence of central and side dividers, barrier fencing).
para. 32 - snowdrifts are cleared at intersections to the width of the intersection, at public transport stops – to the length of the landing area, at pedestrian crossings – to the width of the pedestrian crossing, but not less than 5 meters, in places where drainage devices are located (storm drains) – not less than 1.5 meters.
para. 33 - formation of a snowdrift within public transport stops, pedestrian crossings, within the boundaries ofintersections, as well as the movement of snow, including by vehicles, from the apron area to the street carriageway is not allowed.
Clause 34 - in green areas:
snow removal and treatment with anti-icing agents of driveways, platforms, pedestrian paths (alleys) and adjacent sidewalks are carried out during working hours in the winter period from November 15 to March 15 from 7 to 16 hours, while the main transit pedestrian paths (alleys), stairs, ramps are cleared first by 8 hours, and in case of heavy snowfall, these works are carried out in a two-shift mode;
during icy conditions, pedestrian paths (alleys) are treated with clean sand without salt impurities, while it is allowed to store clean snow, ice and snow-ice formations along paths, and driveways and sidewalks are treated with anti-icing agents with the use of sand with the removal of all types of snow, ice and snow-ice formations to snow storage sites.
Clause 35. all types of snow, ice and snow-ice formations removed from adjacent territories and driveways in residential areas are allowed to be stored in adjacent territories in specially designated and prepared places for these purposes, without obstructing driveways and pedestrian paths.
Clause 36 - clearing of driveways in residential areas and on adjacent territories must be carried out at least twice a day. First of all, work is carried out on clearing driveways in residential areas, access roads tolocations for solid municipal waste collection sites, including bulky waste.
p. 37 - removal of all types of snow, ice, and snow-ice formations from building roofs is carried out during daylight hours with the mandatory implementation of a set of measures ensuring the safety of work conditions, traffic, and pedestrians, as well as the preservation of plantings and other property (overhead power lines, guy wires, advertising, traffic light objects, road signs, vehicles, and others).
p. 38 - all types of snow, ice, and snow-ice formations removed from building roofs are promptly cleared by specialized organizations that performed the roof cleaning.
Taking into account the numerous complaints received by the institution from district residents, in order to preserve public health, we propose to ensure the fulfillment of these requirements.
