Alterations

Warmer temperatures and Hydro rebates are encouraging owners to install heat pumps for better climate control in their cottages.  Heat pumps are more efficient than the floorboard electrical heaters and also create a cooler indoor climate for those hotter days.  Please review the necessary strata bylaws and complete the appropriate forms for council approval.  Refer to Strata bylaw 51 Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps.

Many owners have already replaced the grass grid that separates the road from their driveway with paving bricks.  As the grass grid is on common property, owners need to complete the appropriate forms and use an approved contractor to do the driveway work on common property.  Refer to strata bylaw 47 Driveway Extensions

Hydro service to the Cottages has improved over the years with fewer outages and less outage times.  Owners wishing to have emergency backup generators installed as a precaution against any power outages need Strata Council approval for the work.   Locating where the generator is to be installed requires consideration for their neighbours.  Refer to strata bylaw 57 Permanent Generators.

Owners wishing to install hot tubs must review this document, which outlines installation parameters in addition to the Alterations Policy. All hot tub installations require approval from the Strata Council. Please complete an alteration form in PowerStrata. Approvals can take up to six (6) weeks.

As cottages age, so does the paint.  Owners wishing to repaint or change colors at the time of repainting should review the bylaws indicating the paint selections and alsovisit the library to see the paint palate in assisting with their selections.  Refer to strata bylaw 58 Exterior Siding / Trim Colors

All other alteration requests need to be completed on the basic alteration request form in PowerStrata and submitted with a full detail description of what is being proposed.
