Hi All I have made changes to the BC rules as agreed in the meeting at Anne's house on 21 Dec 2021. Changes are yellow highlighted.
Removed mention of a covenant, and the 5% rule, but retaining all other references to the Commons Development Fund. Minimised references to "cohousing" in the beginning parts of the document by extensively rewriting what used to be the Kaupapa. What remains of the Principles of Occupation, now relate directly to the wording in our resource consent (copy attached, see pg9, General Conditions, #2).
I have also included changes made in response to our lawyer, Simon Milne's feedback. Alex has circulated the email, with my responses in red. *Please read it before making any comments about the changes.*
In particular, for #25, that the Rules "don't provide for the appointment of the mediation and dispute resolution team". I have retained the parts that are directly related to the Body Corp dispute resolution process, and cut out everything else. I suggest the Mediation Team add this as an appendix to our Cohousing Agreement instead.
*Before anybody emails me for any reason other than typos, remember that we are doing this rewrite primarily for the banks, and our future of being able to include unit owners with mortgages.* Think twice, before writing that email, and preferably, don't send anything before the new year.
Merry Christmas.
