Flood Protection:
The Province of BC has standard regulations in place to protect property from any potential natural hazards such as flooding or erosion. Because all of the lots are waterfront lots on a lake which can have varying water levels, there is a flood protection covenant in place that ensures that no buildings are built within 7.5 meters of the natural boundary of the lake. To read the covenant document governing flood protection click here.
Water Filtration:
The default source for potable water is Stuart Lake. The Province of BC and Northern Health have standard regulations in place to ensure that any drinking water meets the water quality guidelines of the province. There is a water quality covenant in place that stipulates that lot owners with constructed dwellings, and who are using the lake for drinking water, are responsible for using adequate water filtration to ensure their drinking water continues to meet water quality guidelines. To read the covenant document governing Water Filtration click here.
Sewerage:
Under the provincial rural subdivision regulations, all lots need to have proven sewerage disposal available. In the case of Baynes Island, soil and perk testing was undertaken to ensure that every lot had an adequate site (and backup site) for a septic field. The province, and the Northern Health Authority have protected these sites with a covenant to ensure that buildings are not built upon them so they will remain available for septic use. Note that this is not a permanent restrictive covenant, and if a lot owner gets approval for an alternate site, the covenant can be removed. Also note that there are also approved alternatives to a septic site that can be used. To read the covenant document governing Sewerage No Build click here.
Disclosure Statement:
It is mandatory in BC to create and share a disclosure statement regarding all aspects of a subdivision. Most of what is in our disclosure statement is a duplicate of what is listed above, however there is other pertinent information including topics such as access to services, contact info for regional district, northern health, ect. that is relevant.
