Perhaps analogous:
In our OC, many years ago a decision was made that unit owners could have a 'special privilege' for the use of particular parking spots on the common property by complying with a licence agreement. Previously many units did not have an assigned parking spot but there was enough parking in large shared open parking areas for all units according to a planning formula at the time of construction. The licence agreement states that the OC gives a special privilege to a unit owner to use a particular spot for limited purposes (parking a vehicle and storage of other property) and the unit owner agrees to meet all of the OC's costs for the initial construction a carportĀ to cover that spot and all subsequent maintenance costs associated with the parking spot. In accordance with this the OC has recently completed a program of maintenance (repainting, repointing, replacing broken tiles, a few loose bricks, some potholes in the asphalt etc.) and charged it to the carport licensees. The licence can be transferred to another owner just by notifying the OC on a particular form, typically when one owner is selling a unit and the new owner is the buyer of that unit. It works for us.
