Q & A

1 | May I bring my pets?
The Edgewater is a great place for a small pet (under 25 lbs/ (11.3kg); please review the rules for details. Dogs and cats must be on a leash. Only 1 pet (dog, cat, bird) allowed per unit.

2 | May I renovate my unit?
The Board of Directors and fellow owners encourage renovations to upgrade individual units at the Edgewater. If you wish to do any renovations, i.e., removing walls, electrical, plumbing etc. the Board of Directors must approve the plan prior to you beginning the work. In most cases you will require a building permit and an engineer’s drawing to present to the Board for approval. The approval process is quick and will not delay your work being completed, but you must have approval prior to starting the project. The Board is of course concerned for structural weakness or damage that renovations may cause. Please check with a Board member if you have any concerns before you begin any renovations in your unit.

3 | I understand that there is storage space in the attic. May I use it for additional living space?
Not all units have access to attic space. Under no circumstances may the space be used as living space. This area is an exclusive use common element, and therefore is not your property. The corporation rules do allow light storage (suitcases, Christmas decorations).

4 | What is a common expense?
Common expenses are corporate items that are covered by a portion of your monthly maintenance fee. The balance of the monthly maintenance fee is your contribution to the reserve fund. Common expenses are items such as, insurance premiums, water and sewage, electricity for Clubhouse and grounds, maintenance materials, tools and supplies, service contracts for maintenance, snow removal, electrical and landscaping

5 | May I put a Gazebo or Awning on my exclusive use patio?
There can be no additional structure on the patios, table umbrellas are encouraged for shade protection.

6 | May I bring my guests to the pool or clubhouse?
Yes, please do bring your guests to share the facilities, all rules must be adhered to and children (under 16) must be supervised.

7 | Is there docking for my boat?
There are 8 boat slips and 12 kayak/canoe cradles available to owners for a small fee. The slips and cradles are assigned on a seniority system and a wait list will be maintained for future assignments. The boat slips/kayak cradles are not part of a unit. Using the Little Bob Channel you can navigate out to the Trent Severn Waterway. (Boat size is a consideration).

8 | Is there a bicycle rack?
There are two bicycle racks, one in each parking lot for you to store your bicycle from May to October. No bicycles are to be stored on patios during that time.

9 | May I request removal of a tree by my patio to provide more light?
The parkland and water features are a major draw to the Edgewater, the variety of trees in both type and size adds to the overall serene appearance and setting of the property. Annually an arborist is consulted re shaping, trimming and diagnosis of the overall health of the trees. Trees are trimmed or removed only due to the health of the trees or safety to our buildings. Trees boarding on patios will not be removed unless the tree meets the aforementioned criteria. The Board approves annual budget dollars to improve and replant parkland items to continue to revitalize the property.
