There is also a middle course whereby the OC can give directions to the committee about how it should make a decision. For example, where I live, our ‘rules’ (ACT-speak for bylaws) allow the committee to approve unit alterations on behalf of the OC. However, there have been various general meeting resolutions over the years that constrain the committee. One constraint is a resolution that the committee must consult the owners of units that might be affected by the alteration, generally those that are immediately adjacent in all directions. A neighbour does not have a veto but the committee must make sure the neighbour has had a chance to see plans and comment. Other OC decisions constrain various details of style and materials that the committee can approve.
