An owner must obtain the written approval of the Strata Corporation before making an alteration to common property, including limited common property, or common assets.
The Strata Corporation may require as a condition of its approval that the owner agree, in writing, to take responsibility for any expenses relating to the alteration.
An owner may not alter the level of the ground, the type of plants, of other features of the landscaping in the common property which is between the front lawn adjacent to the strata lot and the fence on the property line of Noel Drive, Cameron Street, or Beaverbrook Drive without the prior written approval of the Strata Council and the City of Burnaby.
