See Bylaw 4.(a).

3.2 Unit Access

The Management Company might require access to your unit in one of three situations:

emergency access when there is an immediate threat to safety or property

routine access for investigation, repair or maintenance on a non-emergency basis project access when a large project (such as the current plumbing project) requires

access to multiple units over a period of time

In any of these situations, the individual accessing the unit on behalf of the corporationwill be insured and bonded.

See Bylaw 3.(a).

Emergency Access

When emergency access is required, the Management Company will attempt to contactthe owner or tenant using information on the contact list. If the owner or tenant is notimmediately available to provide access, or if time does not permit the use of the contactlist, the Management Company will hire a locksmith to open the door.

If,after at least 24 hours (more if the situation permits), the owner or tenant has not

provided the Management Company with access, a locksmith may be used to gain accessto the unit.

Quinterra CondominiumsResidents Handbook Section 4: Your Condominium Unit

July 2009 Page 8

4 Your Condominium Unit

4.1 Water

Your unit contains water shut off valves in the kitchen, bathrooms and the laundry room.In the kitchen, there are two shut off valves (one cold and one hot) which are locatedunderneath the sink and which control the water to the sink from the pipes in the wall.Both of the valves need to be individually shut off. The dishwasher has a separate valvecoming off the hot water supply, which can be used to isolate just the dishwasher. If yourunit has an icemaker in the refrigerator, there will be a small line with a valve coming offthe cold water line.

In the bathrooms, there are individual shut off valves for the sink and the toilet. Theseshut off valves are mounted directly under the sink, and the toilet water reservoir. Closethese shut off valves if you need to shut off the water for only that specific fixture.

In the laundry roomthere are two (2) quarter turn shut off ball valves mounted for hot

and cold water. These valves are open when the handle is parallel to the pipe. To close ashut off valve, turn it one-quarter turn so that the handle is perpendicular to the pipe.These valves should be in the closed position unless you are using your washingmachine. Keeping these valves closed relieves the pressure on the washing machinehoses and avoids floods.

If your washing machine and dishwasher are equipped with flexible water hoses pleaseinspect them regularly for any signs of bulging, and if deteriorated, replace them withhigh quality braided hoses. The hoses should be replaced every three to five years. Asdiscussed in Section 4.1, the shut-off valves in the laundry room should be kept in theclosed position except when you are using the washing machine.

The drain hose from your washing machine must also be securely fastened into the

drainpipe on the wall. The vibration of the machines can cause the hoses to jump out ofthe drainpipe and discharge the draining water between the walls. This causes severedamage to the units below. Check this hose every time you wash.

If for some reason any of the shut off valves do not shut off the flow or the problem isupstream of the valves, immediately call the Management Company.

Take the time to locate all of these shut off valves now, and test them to confirm that theyare operating properly. If you are unsure of their location or operation, or if they do notappear to be working correctly, contact the Management Company.

4.2 Electricity

Each unit contains an electrical panel with all the switch breakers for the power in yourindividual unit. Each switch controls different circuits in your unit. If work needs to bedone upstream of the panel, or on the panel itself, please contact the ManagementCompany.

and must be approved by the Board of Directors before you install a unit.


12/19

Quinterra CondominiumsResidents Handbook Section 4: Your Condominium Unit

July 2009 Page 9

4.3 Heat

The heating in your unit is a hot-water in-floor radiation system. Centrally-heated hotwater flows through tubes in the floor and heat radiates from these heating pipes. Theheating is maintained throughout the year, because Calgary can experience cold nightseven during the summer.

Caution must be taken that nothing punctures these tubes such as driving a nail or a screwinto the floor. This is important if you are renovating the flooring in your unit.

Each unit contains two separate circuits controlled by two separate thermostats. One islocated in the living room, and the other in one of the bedrooms. Each loop contains ashut off valve at the beginning and the end of the pipe run. Please take the time to locatethese valves. If the heating pipes leak or burst, it is important to know how to shut off theflow quickly in order to minimize damage to your unit.

During the cold winter months please keep your windows closed and your thermostat setat a minimum of 20C to ensure the heating pipes do not freeze. Drafts from openwindows and balcony doors can freeze the pipes very quickly, and this is one of themajor causes of heating pipes bursting.

Notwithstanding your thermostat setting, the system has been set up so that hot water willflow through the pipes for approximately a five-minute period every hour to assist inpreventing freezing.

4.4 Air Conditioning

Only certain models and types of units are permitted

4.5 Ventilation

Your unit is equipped with ventilation in each bathroom, above the kitchen sink, from thedryer and an air intake-outake vent which all lead outside. Ensure they are checked toensure they are in good working order. Ventilation prevents excess moisture in your unitand safe for smoke or steam in the kitchen that might set off smoke/heat detectors in theunit.

See Bylaw 1.(e).

5.2 Types of Common Property

There are two types of common property. The first type is normal common property.Normal common property is for the use and enjoyment of all. Access to some areas suchas the mechanical rooms or the roof areas have restricted access for safety reasons. Thesecond type is exclusive use common property. Your balconies and the decks that offsetsome of the units are considered exclusive use common property. For a more detaileddescription of common property, please refer to the Bylaws.

See Bylaw 4.(e).

5.3 Repairs to Common Property

Examples of common property for which the corporation is responsible:

boilers, hot water tanks and other mechanical systems

entry door to your unit

plumbing (hot and cold water) up to the first shut off valve electrical cable feed to the unit breaker panel

garbage facilities

The Bylaws prohibit repairs, adjustments or servicing (including oil changes) to motor

vehicles in any of the parking stalls. Due to environmental concerns, washing cars in yourresidential parking stall is prohibited.

See Bylaw 64.(q).


14/19


July 2009 Page 11

5.5 Visitor Parking

The Board has received numerous complaints about residents parking second vehicles inthe 12-hour VISITOR stalls, using them as long-term parking or as secondary residentialparking on a regular basis.

These stalls are intended for visitors and service vehicles, NOT for residents secondvehicles or for recreation vehicles. Visitors have been found parking in the fire lanebecause visitor parking stalls were not available to them.

If you have a visitor staying with you (someone who is staying with you for the purposeof visitation, for not more that three consecutive days) , they may use the assigned visitorstalls.

If you have someone living with you part time, either cohabiting or working part time,they must park in the south overflow lot. They are not considered to be a visitor.

Residents (full or part-time) and long-term visitors must NOT use the VISITOR parkingstalls. If you cannot park in your garage or on the apron in front of garage, you must useeither Coach Hill Road or the overflow lot on the south side of complex. Violators will be

ticketed and towed.See Section 5.7 for more information on leasing an extra residential parking stall.

See Bylaw 64.(aa).

5.6 Overflow Parking

The south overflow lot has 27 parking stalls available for long-term visitors, for parking asecond vehicle or for those who do not have a full apron in front of their unit. It isfortunate that a complex of this size has such an ample supply of free overflow parkingavailable to its residents. Please use it instead of violating the Bylaws that deal with firelanes and visitor parking.

See Section 5.7 for more information on leasing a storage stall.See Bylaw 64.(aa).

5.7 Residential and Storage Stalls for Lease

As you are aware, each unit in Quinterra has a parking garage. Some condo unit ownersalso have a parking pad in front of their unit. Applications are available to apply to leaseone of the available six parking stalls (to be converted from visitor parking).

There are only six stalls (R1 to R6) available for lease. The cost of renting the parkingstall is $750 per year to be paid by the owner of the unit. If you are a renter, you mustcontact the owner of the unit to have them submit an application.

Applications are also available to those who would like to lease a stall in overflowparking for storing recreational vehicles. There are only five stalls (S1 to S5) availablefor storage. The cost of renting the storage stall is $500 per year to be paid by the ownerof the unit. If you are a renter, you must contact the owner of the unit to have themsubmit an application.


15/19


July 2009 Page 12

5.8 Fire Lanes

There is NO parking at any time on the roadway it is a fire lane and violators will beticketed and towed. The City of Calgary monitors this and it is a serious obstacle if anemergency situation should arise.

Over the past couple of years, there have been many vehicles also parked in thedriveways leading from a garage to the roadway. This is not a parking apron, it is a firelane. This creates serious safety issue should emergency vehicles need to control a fire orattend to a medical emergency in a unit.

Effective immediately, the Calgary Parking Authority will enforce the parking Bylawswith respect to fire lanes. If you park in a fire lane, you will be ticketed and towed at yourexpense.

Marked fire lanes are reserved for exclusive use by emergency services vehicles. Youmay not park or stop any vehicle in a marked fire lane. A property owner cannot waivethis regulation and grant permission to park in a fire lane.

You may not stop or park a vehicle in a manner that would block the use of a doorway

marked as a fire exit.The penalty for stopping or parking in a marked fire lane, or in front of an emergency orfire exit is $57 to $100 and your vehicle may be towed.

See City of Calgary Bylaw 26M97.

5.9 Garbage Facilities

There are three garbage disposal buildings on the property. The disposal buildings are atthe east end, at the west end and a smaller building at the southwest end of the property.These are for residential garbage only.

Disposing of old appliances, discarded furniture, mattresses or construction debris in the

exterior garbage bins is not prohibited. The unit owner is solely responsible for removingsuch items from the premises.

Combustible or flammable products such as solvents, paints and fuel products must bedisposed of at an authorized location. Fire Station 17 in Varsity will take these types ofrefuse at 3740 - 32 Avenue N.W. The residential hazardous materials drop-off area isopen every day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

If garbage is left outside in the vicinity of your unit, you will receive a warning. If you donot dispose if it properly, the Management Company will hire someone to remove it atyour expense.

See Bylaws 64.(j), (n) and (w).

5.10 RecyclingMulti-family residences do not receive weekly blue cart recycling service from The Cityof Calgary. Community recycling bins are located near Sobeys at Strathcona Square. Thebins accept all recyclables including plastics and require no sorting.

The City of Calgary Electronics Recycling Program (eCycle Solutions) has a location atSignal Hills Staples. They will take a maximum of five items per visit and are locatedat 5662 Signal Hill Centre Drive S.W. They can be reached by phone at 403-945-2611,

extension 233. This is a self service depot, so you must bring the electronics inside thestore. A recycling cage is located at the back left-hand corner of store. Deposit theelectronics into the recycling cage.

5.11 Mailboxes

Mail boxes are located in a multi-unit box located at the east side of the complex insidethe front gates. The key system is private, so if you loose your mailbox key, you willhave to contact a locksmith to have the box re-keyed.

Billboards or notices are not permitted on common property without prior writtenapproval from the Board.
