INTRODUCTION

Our community of Carmichael Court operates on the assumption that by helping each other we

are helping ourselves. Thus the owners and residents share some of the responsibilities of

maintaining the court. However, there are also individual responsibilities to be aware of.

It is your responsibility, as an owner, to read the condominium document package you received

from your lawyer on closing. It contains the Declaration, Bylaws, Rules, Insurance information

and the latest Financial Statements of our condominium corporation.

It is in your best interest to be familiar with the Ontario Condominium Act. Contact our

property manager for information on how and where to obtain a copy.

Should you be currently renting your unit, please make sure that your landlord has given you all

the information relating to Rules, Bylaws, etc., since as a tenant, you have certain responsibilities

to our condominium corporation. You are obligated to abide by all the rules and regulations, as

though you were an owner. Again, our property manager will be pleased to answer your

questions.

SECTION A

YOU AND CONDOMINIUM LIVING

This section contains general information about condominium living as it pertains specifically to

Carmichael Court, so that you may enjoy your home here to the fullest. If you are new to the

condominium lifestyle, then there are some things that you will find different from living in a

private or freehold home.

The following points are examples of such differences.

o Any changes to the exterior of your home must have the approval of the Board of

Directors since there are individual and collective responsibilities for the replacement

and maintenance of exterior components.

o Any changes to the interior of your home should go through the property manager to

determine whether Board approval is required.

o Any changes to the exclusive use area in the rear of your unit must have approval from

the Board of Directors.

o Any development of the garden in the front of your unit requires Board approval.

SECTION B

YOU AND CARMICHAEL COURT

ADMINISTRATION

The Board of Directors of Carmichael Court hires a property manager to manage the business of

our condominium corporation. The Board of Directors is elected by the owners at the Annual

General Meeting to oversee the business and to respond to inquiries by residents and owners of

Carmichael Court. The members of this Board are unit owners of Carmichael Court, save one

member-position, who volunteer their time and energy as a community service.

The Board of Directors meet once monthly, (more often if necessary), and anyone who wishes to

attend may do so by contacting a board member in advance. The Board communicates general

information regarding events and activities affecting Carmichael Court periodically via Board

Briefs.

In addition, there is one meeting per year that involves the board members and all owners and

residents of Carmichael Court - the Annual General Meeting (AGM) which is required by law. A

second contact with all residents and owners occurs when the Annual Budget report, approved

by the Board, is sent out to all owners by the property management company.

All owners and residents are urged to attend the AGM in the fall. Notification of time and place

of the meeting, plus an information package are distributed 10 days prior to the meeting. Reports

from board members and committees, motions concerning policies or rules presented by the

Board or the other owners, and any other matters concerning Carmichael Court are discussed and

voted on during this meeting.

For this reason we strongly urge all owners be present at the AGM to ensure that every viewpoint

is heard. We cannot stress enough the importance of everyone's involvement. If you cannot

attend the AGM then please use your right of voting by proxy. Information on how to vote by

proxy is included in the information package distributed prior to the meetings.

MANAGEMENT

Condominiums are managed either by a company or they are self-managed. Carmichael Court is

fully managed by a property management company under the guidance and decisions made by

the elected Board of Directors. On occasion and when needed, input will be requested from a

committee made up of residents and owners who volunteer to assist in providing guidance to the

property manager.

Property Manager

For information and assistance your first point of contact is the property manager. Calls should

be made during regular business hours, Monday to Friday, unless, of course, it is an emergency.

The property manager will deal with issues as quickly as possible.

COMMITTEES

Landscaping: This committee functions with the support of volunteers who are willing to dig in

and help. Their primary function is the beautification of the grounds. Activities vary from

season to season and may include: planting of trees and shrubs, weeding and watering of plants

and flowers, and spring clean up in common areas. A landscaping contract is in effect for grass

cutting and upkeep of the grounds. The contract is subject to renewal from time to time.

Communication: A member of the Board or a volunteer prepares our community newsletter

entitled “CCC NO. 7 Board Briefs” on a periodic basis.

Pool: The pool use is for residents only, by definition, this means a person residing in the unit.

All facets of the operation of the pool are the responsibility of this volunteer committee. They

are responsible for opening and closing the pool, hiring lifeguards, ensuring that the pool rules

are enforced, and that the pool is maintained to the specifications of the Regional Health

Department.

Swimming lessons are made available and pool use schedules are circulated at the beginning of

each season. The pool rules and hours of operation are also circulated and enforced for the

maximum enjoyment of the pool by all residents. Visitors are allowed only when accompanied

by residents.

Telephone List: A volunteer is needed to edit and update the Carmichael Court phone list once

per year.

If you are interested in getting involved and serving on one or more of these committees, please contact a board member.

RULES GOVERNING CCC No. 7

exclusive-use areas or in garages. Garbage containers and recycle bins shall be placed at the

curb for pickup on the morning of the designated dates.

Common elements, outside of the rear exclusive-use areas, shall not be used to store items

with the exception of a garden hose during the summer months and a snow shovel during the

winter months. These items should be placed to avoid an unsightly appearance.

Sidewalks, entries, passageways and driveways shall not be obstructed.

Unit owners are to keep their own driveways and pathways sufficiently clear of snow and ice

to provide safe walking conditions.

Plantings on the common elements are the responsibility of our condominium corporation.

Owners and residents are encouraged to maintain small flowerbeds within the exclusive-use

areas at their own expense and efforts. Any expansion of gardens beyond exclusive-use areas

must be approved by the Board.

No one may make a modification to the common elements, including those areas designated for

exclusive use, unless the following requirements are met:

Written consent obtained by the Board of Directors is obtained prior to the commencement

of work on a modification; and

The unit owner signs an undertaking to assume full responsibility for installation, and for

maintenance or removal, of the modified element in perpetuity.

which could in any way increase the risk of fire or the rate of fire insurance on CCC No. 7.

Use of Vehicles:

No motor vehicle shall be driven on any part of the common elements other than on the

roadway or parking place.

GENERAL INFORMATION RELATING TO CARMICHAEL COURT

History: Carmichael Court was built in 1970 – 1971. The first residents moved in officially on

June 1, 1971. The final group of original owners arrived by the summer of 1972. Registration of

the CCC No. 7 occurred on September 1, 1971. The first residents’ Board of Directors was

elected on March 2, 1972 and this Board took over complete management of the Court from

Campeau Corporation on April 30, 1972. From June of 1971 to March of 1972 various residents

served on an impromptu Board to handle affairs of common interest to the residents. It was

during this period the foundations were laid for the active participation of many residents in the

operation of their condominium community.

The streets in Kanata are named after prominent Canadians. Varley Drive and all the streets

running into it are named after Canadian painters. Franklin Carmichael (1890-1945), a native of

Orillia, Ontario was one of the famous Group of Seven, which also included Frederick Varley,

A.Y. Jackson and Arthur Lismer.

Modifications: Before you begin any modifications and/or additions, you should consult the

property manager. According to the Condominium Act, certain modifications/additions to your

unit could be considered as modifications/additions to common elements. For this reason,

written requests accompanied by a detailed drawing or explanation of proposed changes must be

submitted to the Board for approval before you start such a project.

As a rule of thumb, if you are considering a change to your unit, whether it seems relatively

minor such as changing an outside light fixture, or significant interior changes, it is safer to

consult with the property manager to determine what approval is required. Declaration and Rules

have been provided to you by your lawyer upon closing.

Clean Up Days: These days are held twice yearly, in May and October. If you can, please

come and lend a hand. Your contribution is much appreciated and it helps to keep our condo

fees down. Notices are circulated in advance of each event.

Fire Hydrants: As these are on private property, we are responsible for them. In winter, we

engage someone to keep them accessible.

Flower Beds: Residents are encouraged to beautify the Court by maintaining flowerbeds on

their own exclusive-use areas. The Landscaping Committee maintains some flowerbeds on

CCC No. 7 Resident Information Package

August 2006

10

common elements. Major changes to landscaping on exclusive-use areas require approval by

submitting a application to modify common elements to the Board of Directors.

Chimneys: The fireplace chimneys have to be cleaned every year and, because of the

Condominium’s insurance policy, the Condominium oversees the cleaning of fireplace

chimneys.

Insurance: The Condominium Corporation annually reviews the insurance policy covering the

common elements and liability coverage. The insuring company may change from year to year,

as more advantageous policies are available. Copies of the current insurance policy may be

obtained from the property manager.

The Corporation does not take any insurance responsibility for any interior improvements or for

the personal belongings of any residents. All owners and residents are advised to contact their

own insurance carriers to ensure they have adequate coverage.

Interior Changes: The Board must approve any modifications that involve structural changes.

Please contact the property manager prior to commencing work.

Parking: Each double unit has two parking spaces while the split-levels have one along with a

garage. Limited visitor parking is available on the Court at the following locations:

court garage driveway beside #19 - 1 parking space

area beside #39 – 2 parking spaces

It is suggested that visitors park outside of the Court on Carr Crescent (except in the winter

months). Please inform your visitors of these restrictions. Parking in the fire routes and on side

walks are an infraction of by-laws.

Road Traffic: The direction of traffic on the Court is two-way. The speed restriction is 15

km/h. As a traffic-calming measure, there are four speed bumps on the Court.

Backyard Area: This is your exclusive-use private area. Please ensure that it is maintained

neatly. Should your backyard be left unsightly, in the judgement of the Board, you will be

contacted and asked to clean it up. If necessary, the Board is empowered to clean it up at your

expense.

Pest Control: Contact the property management company to assist you in eliminating pests such

as wasps and tree infestations.

Pets: City by-laws require dogs to be leashed and cats are not permitted to roam freely. Your

cooperation in securing your pet is requested. Pet owner must clean up after their pet. Please do

not walk your dogs in children’s play areas.

Sewers: Maintenance of sewers on our property is the Corporation’s responsibility. The

Corporation will have them inspected from time to time. Any blockages caused by residents'

CCC No. 7 Resident Information Package

August 2006

11

negligence will be billed back to them.

Staining and Painting: Painting and staining of siding and fences is done regularly by the

Corporation. If there is an area that requires attention on your unit, contact the property

manager. Unit owners are responsible for painting front, rear and garage doors.

Streetlights: These are maintained on a regular basis. If one of the bulbs is burned out near your

unit, please contact the property manager.

Trees: All trees on the common elements are the responsibility of the Corporation. Maintenance

of the trees located in backyards is the responsibility of the Corporation. Please complete an

application to modify common elements when should you wish to plant a tree in your backyard.

Walkways: Residents are urged to sweep in summer and shovel in winter their own walkway

and the main sidewalk in front of their unit. In winter, the sidewalks should be salted and

sanded as necessary to ensure safety and eliminate the possibility of injuries and such.

UNIT NUMBERS - WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN:

There could be some confusion with the term "Unit Number". We have a tendency to think of

our homes as "units" and to refer to living in "Unit 76 " or "Unit 21", etc. The legal term "Unit ",

identifying your garden home unit, differs from the usual usage of the term. When your home is

registered with the Land Titles office, “Unit number” registers it only and this is NOT THE

SAME AS YOUR STREET ADDRESS. For example, #76 Carmichael Court (Municipal

address) is actuality registered as "Unit 38". If the owner of #38 Carmichael Court were to offer

his unit for sale as Unit 38, he would in fact be offering #76 Carmichael Court for sale.

For your information, following are the legal unit numbers that apply to each Municipal (street)

address:

SECTION C

YOU AND THE MUNICIPALITY

If you were living in a private home on a City street, then you would be required to abide by the

Municipal regulations, by-laws etc. Even though Carmichael Court is a private roadway owned

by all owners (a common element), you are still governed by Municipal regulations, as well as

those of the Condominium Corporation. Some examples:

The City noise bylaws apply and are enforceable by the city police department and by-law

officers.

The city's police department will deal with matters relating to the Ontario Highway Traffic

Act, i.e. reckless driving (a criminal offense) and when requested by the Board of Directors

on matters such as speeding, illegal parking, careless driving etc.

Repairs to private vehicles are not permitted except within an enclosed garage.

Detailed information on the Municipal regulations is available online.

GARBAGE COLLECTION / RECYCLING

The current schedule is every Tuesday for garbage pick-up and recycling. If there is a holiday

Monday the pick-up will be moved to Wednesday. Please place items at the curb on the morning

of pick-up day.

SNOW PLOWING

The Municipality is not responsible for plowing the Court. This is the responsibility of the

Corporation. A snow removal contract is negotiated for the plowing and, if necessary, removal

of snow.

Appendix B: Specifications and Guidelines for Windows and Doors

Window Specification Guidelines at CCC No. 7 The following information is provided to unit owners as a guide for sourcing replacement windows. It has been adapted from the report of the Ad Hoc Committee on Windows and Doors Specifications of October 1, 2002. Unit owners must submit a application to modify common elements to the Board and obtain its approval prior to purchasing and installing replacement windows. Guidelines

The installation of replacement windows must maintain the structural and visual integrity of the units. That is to say replacement windows must look like the original windows, they must be energy efficient and they must maintain the integrity of the walls surrounding the windows. Also, replacement windows must not require painting after installation. For structural integrity, windows must keep the same profile and must be condensation-resistant; be double- or triple-glazed, be filled with convection-limiting inert gas, be coated to reduce heat absorption by the glass, be insulated and have non-conducting frames and sashes. For visual integrity, replacement windows must be sandstone in colour* and have the same shapes and slim profile as the original windows. At the front of the unit, replacement windows must have the same configurations of fixed and operable panes, where operable panes are in awning style with compression seal closures.
