Condominium properties are considered private and have designated Fire Route access, where fire routes are established during the Site Plan Approval Process for the development. The access routes for firefighting including location, width, turning radius, vertical alignment and location of fire route signs shall be shown on the site plans for the property and in accordance with design standards for fire routes. To review all details of fire route signs and placement and other information, visit here. Virtually every condominium corporation will (or should) have rules related to traffic and parking control within the boundaries of their property. The Condominium Act, 1998 prescribes that no rule will be unreasonable; rather they evolve to address potential dangers to the assets of the property or risk to those who reside on it. The Board of Directors and their agents have the responsibility to ensure that all governing documents, including the corporation ’ s rules are followed by all of the residents, without exception. They deserve the respect of the residents for carrying out this ‘ not very popular and mostly thankless ’ task. Replacement of signage for any reason is the responsibility of the corporation. Where a resident has concerns relative to parking, or any other occupant behaviour, they should address them in writing to the management office during regular business hours. Your manager can then begin the process of reviewing your corporation ’ s policies as well as by - laws and provide you with recommendations and support to assist in resolving matters.
Fire Route Agreement (Schedule 26) The City of London and the Owner of a private roadway may enter into an agreement in the form set out in Schedule 26 of The Consolidated Traffic & Parking Bylaw PS - 113 or in a development agreement pursuant to the site plan approval process providing for the designation of the roadway as a fire route. It would be appropriate to carefully review the agreement before proceeding, as the board will have to agree to conditions and cost involved to ensure the property is Fire Route Enforceable. You can download a pdf copy of Schedule 26, Form 2, the Fire Route Agreement of the by - law PS - 113 here.
A typical penalty for parking in the fire route is currently $105.00 in London (subject to change).
Corporations can also reach out to the Condominium Authority of Ontario (CAO) for How - to Guides and Letter Templates to help you address an issue with a neighbour, manager or Board of directors. Let saving a life be part of your mission in life!
