[200William-EC] SP 67851 EC Minutes

Fri Sep 7 09:48:00 EST 2012

Hi all

As a Landlord, I really do not want to give my tenants the option of
having a pet and have to deal with the arguments over fair wear and
tear of the carpets, as well as potential residual smell that may only
be evident in moist conditions during a rainy period, well after the
tenant has left the premises. An increased bond does not solve this. 

There are some buildings that allow pets, and I believe occupants who
want pets should live there.

The only time we should have to make a considered waiver of the rules
would be in the case of a blind person with a seeing eye dog, or
someone who has suffered some kind of emotional trauma after moving
into the building and a pet companion has been recommended by a health
professional. If allowed in the latter case, this should be reviewed
on an annual basis to determine the on-going need for the pet.

As such I would vote against amending the building bylaws.

Kind regards

Hi All,

My opinion is that we went through this a few  years ago and as a
committee agreed on a position.

That is, we do not allow pets. So we enforce the rule. Simple.

Now, there obviously is a change of opinion by some owners so we need
to address the question again, which is reasonable after 5 years.

Lets agree to ask the question at the next committee meeting and if we
have a new position as a committee representing owners then we change
the by-law.

I have  personal opinion that animals belong outdoors.

Thanks Dave

Greetings everyone,

Thank you Maxine - it was great to have you at the meeting to add your
experience and to also put the minutes together.

I know there is quite a bit of contention regarding animals in the
building. However, I personally don't have any issue with a dog or cat
living on the premises.  Many tenants live by themselves and enjoy a
companion pet.  If it really becomes a question of cleanliness of
pets, I recommend the owner can simply ask for a higher bond.  My
suggestion is that we become more like a luxury New York apartment
building and change this bi-law!

Cheers,

Craig

Dear Committee,

Please find attached the Minutes of the EC Meeting.

Also attached is the breach of by-law issued to the tenant of unit 104
along with the tenants response.  Please advise if you agree with him
to continue minding the dog.

In relation to the meeting for the BMC due to time restraints as
specified within the Strata Management Statement notice must be not
less than 7 days which does not include allowing postage.  As Rob will
be away until end of October I will organise the meeting with Matt and
Andrew. 

The SMS state that a quorum is as follows:

2.8 At any meeting of the Building Management Committee a quorum will
be constituted if both Owners are represented.  If a quorum is not
present within half an hour from the time appointed for a meeting, the
meeting will be adjourned for 2 Business Days to be held at the same
time and at the same place notified for the original meeting.

Section 11 of the SMS is for Dispute Resolution as follows:

11.1 Notice of Dispute

(a)    If a dispute arises between the Owners in connection with this
statement then either of them may serve on the other Owners written
notice of the dispute following which the provisions of this clause
apply.

(b)   The Owners agree that:

                                 i.            they will undertake in
good faith to use all reasonable endeavours to resolve a dispute which
arises between them; and

                               ii.            if the Owners cannot
resolve the dispute within 28 days after service of the notice, the
dispute may be submitted for resolution in accordance with this
clause.

11.2 Form of Notice

A dispute notice served under clause 11.1 must:

(a)    specify the matter in dispute;

(b)   identify the provisions of the Act, this Statement or other
legislation relevant to the dispute;

(c)    set out the facts and other circumstances on which the notice
given relies; and,

(d)   have attached to it copies of correspondence and other documents
relevant to the dispute.

11.3 Referral of Dispute

(a)    If a dispute has not been resolved within the period referred
to in clause 11.1(b)(ii), or such other period as the Owners may agree
then either of the Owners may give written notice to the other Owners
that the dispute is to be referred for resolution by the Adjudicator
in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

(b)   The parties agree that the provisions of Part 5 of the Act apply
to any dispute.

11.4 Decision of Adjudicator

(a)    A decision of the adjudicator of the Strata Schemes Board shall
be deemed to be a decision of the Building Management Committee.

(b)   The Adjudicator and the Strata Schemes Board may exercise any
Function conferred on the Building Management Committee.

I will organise the meeting between Matt and Andrew and if Andrew does
not attend then the meeting will be adjourned as required.  If Andrew
does not attend the Adjourned Meeting I will hold a Schedule 3 Meeting
with the EC (paper meeting) to issue a Notice of Dispute to Andrew and
application to the CTTT if we cant resolve the issue in the 28 days.
Hopefully we will not need to follow this path.

Regards,

Maxine Wickey

Strata Manager
