Welcome to our exclusive community.

Surrey, British Columbia

Welcome to Park Boulevard Estates

We trust you will enjoy your home and living in this community.

The bylaws and rules are for the mutual benefit of you and your neighbours. To fully appreciate the community your co-operation is required in complying with the bylaws and rules as set by Park Boulevard community. It will assist the park strata council greatly if your actions and activities show sensitivity to others.

The bylaws and rules were originally set in 1985. At the 1998 annual meeting of the strata corporation (represented by 95% of the residents comprised of both landowners and tenants) the existing bylaws were reviewed item by item. Changes were made by those residents in attendance. The vote was 100% in favour of the new bylaws by all residents.

The park bylaws and rules are set by the strata corporation. As required under the strata act of B.C; the bylaws are to be enforced by the strata council. This requirement results in a lot of pressure on the members of the strata council to ensure that the bylaws are upheld (as approved by the majority vote at the 1998 annual meeting). All residents of Park Boulevard need to be familiar with the bylaws of the park so as to not “unknowingly cause problems” which would involve strata council intervention which could result in fines or legal action.

STRATA BYLAWS WHICH COUNCIL HAD TO ENFORCE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS

The two most costly infractions ($100 per occurrence)

Pet Infractions: At the annual meeting it was expressed by the majority that residents should have the option of having a pet. The pet bylaw is very “liberal in the acceptance of pets”. What is not tolerated in the park is pets doing their business or trespassing on other residents’ property or on common ground. If you have been given permission to have a pet in this park, please obey the pet bylaws.
Street Parking: There is to be no street parking period.

The other common infractions enforced by council:

Visitor parking: This is for your visitors only and not for residents use.
Speed limit: This community is for quiet enjoyment. As many residents use the roads for walking, we have an intended very slow speed within the community.
Changes to the exterior of the home, lot and landscaping must have permission from the council in writing.
There is to be no junk, vehicles or other stored items in the designated landscaped area of each home.

The common buffer area is 15’ to 25’ wide surrounding the park…The trees on this area should be as many evergreens as possible and as high as possible in order to help absorb the noise and pollution of the traffic surrounding us.
