Ziggy – You mentioned that an awning had existed prior to your recent application, therefore I am assuming that a by-law for the previous awning also exists. Precedent exists for your awning. This is always a good thing!
Can you search the Strata records (or ask the SM) for a copy of the by-law that previously existed for this works? Perhaps, with some minor adjustments to suit your specific application, you could re-use the previous by-law.
You do not need a lawyer to write a by-law for you, nor should the OC or SM mandate that this is required. Such a requirement could be deemed to be “unreasonable”.
That being said, there are certain issues with awnings that need to be considered when drafting a by-law for awnings and blinds.
