Now Therefore This Agreement Witnesses that in consideration of the premises, and
of the covenants and agreements hereinafter contained on the part of the Owner to be

five (5) year term herein granted, the Owner may, provided he is not in default of
his obligations hereunder and upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the
Township, apply to renew same, taking all necessary steps and paying all
appropriate fees in effect at the time to do so. Such Application shall be
considered in accordance with the Township's policies and practices in place at

and address of such Transferee or Purchaser who shall be required to enter into
a new Agreement with the Township (and which Agreement shall be in like form

Township in entering into such replacement Agreement. In the event the
Transferee or Purchaser fails to enter into a replacement Agreement with the
Township, the Encroachment(s) shall forthwith be removed by the Owner at his
sole expense; and failing which the Township may do so, and the Owner and

satisfaction of the Township. The Owner shall provide the Township with a copy
of the safety review and proof that the necessary repairs were undertaken.
3. The Owner will at its own expense and to the satisfaction of the Township's Chief
Building Official, keep and maintain the said Encroachment(s) in good and proper
state of repair and will not make any related modifications to the

any other provision in this Agreement, remove the said Encroachment(s) from
the Township's Lands, without being entitled to any compensation whatsoever for
such removal and the permission given herein for the maintenance of the
Encroachment(s) shall be revoked and shall be deemed at an end. If the

construction state after any maintenance has been completed, and that same
may be removed or relocated, should the Township reasonably require same for
work that needs to be completed on the Promenade.

agrees that under no circumstances shall additional Encroachment(s) be
constructed or placed on the Township's Lands.

GENERAL
REVIEW REPORT

Township of Oro-Medome Del. By Owner

Permit No.
Subject: General Review Report of Dock Installation
15-06-1203
n/a
Avanti Engineering & Design Inc. has been retained by Carol Montgomery, property owner, to
perform a general review of the following items which are situated on the Township of Oro-
Medonte's Promenade. The items reviewed are for the private use of the property owner but since
they reside on Township land a general level of up -keep and safety is expected and to be
maintained. This report is a record of the existing conditions found on November 13, 2020 with
our comments.
The waterfront dock area:
1) The original dock and deck area has been renovated prior to the year 2015. At present the
dock is removed and stored for the winter on the promenade. The wooden stair case which
resides on the original sonotube / concrete type foundation remains. A guard of 42" high has
been installed and attached to the existing stringers. As noted before in the 2015 report, the
dock and stairs offer a good general level of safety. The original stairs are too narrow to even
meet the Ontario Building Codes minimum size and it would be impractical to install an
interior handrail as it would further make the tight stairs even smaller and difficult to
manoeuvre. The current condition offers a good general level of safety for private -use but we
do recommend that if they ever were to be rebuilt, that the new size and configuration be
installed closer to the current Ontario Building Code requirements.
2) The original dock structure attaches to the stair case for smooth transition. The original dock
is constructed of open -web -steel joists and approximately 4' x 15'-6" in size. Some
deterioration of the joist web connections can be seen and should continue to be monitored
during each yearly installation and repaired / re -welded as needed. A new dock / deck
segment (5' x 10'-6") has been installed at the end of the original deck to extend the dock
further. It is a pre -packaged manufactured aluminium section. It appears to be assembled as
designed by the manufacturer. Since the sections are bolted together and then removed each
season, its condition (like the rest of the dock elements) should be monitored and parts
replaced if necessary. The dock is quite elevated from the water. Although no Codes govern
if a guard / railing is required. The owner could, if desired, improve the safety level by adding
some guards for portions directly above the rocky side shorelines. As is, the dock has a good
general level of safety when in place each season.
The house area:
3) There is a portion of floating deck adjacent the existing house. It was noted that the deck is
standard framing material and floating on top of fairly evenly spaced blocks. The deck is very
close to grade and appears to be a substitute for permanent hard landscaping. No guard is
required by Code since it is close to grade. It appears to be in a good state and generally safe
to use. Any uneven blocks/supports can be adjusted seasonally as required. The deck is
approximately 6'-3" x 28'-0" and 15" off the ground. The deck is the same as it was in 2015.
The owner has indicated that it is within the Promenade space and should be mentioned in this
report.
It is evident that the owner has kept good upkeep of the dock and deck elements. If a complete
replacement is scheduled for the future, please consult Avanti Engineering & Design Inc. prior to
any replacement for assistance with a design that is closer to some common safety Standards of
today.
Readers of this report are reminded that this review was general in nature and its purpose was to
visually assess the items noted above for a general level of safety. No theoretical / calculated
analysis of individual items or elements has been performed. If further review is required or
questions arise from this review, please contact the undersigned. We trust this general review
meets your needs at this time.
Thank -you,
