Tim Wilkin - Cunningham Swan
Tim Wilkin, Cunningham Swan, presented to Council on the Official Plan Amendment to address plans of condominium. He provided an education session to Council on the
three types of condominium developments - traditional, vacant land condominiums and
common elements condominiums. He explained that condominiums are not simply
related to high rise developments. He cautioned Council that with regards to a traditional condominium situation, that under the Safe Drinking Water Act any residential use that involves a communal well with more than six residences, puts the Township at risk of assuming responsibility for that water system.
With regard to vacant land condominiums, he then outlined several advantages: . . . .
that it address the concerns about public road maintenance; that it allows development on private roads; that they provide a mechanism for the maintenance of those private roads;
that similar to subdivisions in terms of approval and that the Township can still prescribe standards for road construction and maintenance.
He cautioned that it is inappropriate to have a vacant land condominium have access through another vacant land condominium. He did indicate that all of the same
development regulatory requirements still apply. It was clarified that taxes are still the responsibility of the individual land owners plus their share of the common elements as well. He did clarify that severances of existing units within a condominium cannot occur.
