The ​Alteration Section of the Mira Vista Bylaws states: 

​

5     (1)  An owner must obtain the written approval of the strata corporation before making                    an alteration to a strata lot that involves any of the following:

              (a)  the structure of a building;

              (b)  the exterior of a building;

              (c)  chimneys, stairs, balconies or other things attached to the exterior of a building;

              (d)  doors, windows or skylights on the exterior of a building, or that front on the                                   common property;

              (e)  fences, railings or similar structures that enclose a patio, balcony or yard;

              (f)  common property located within the boundaries of a strata lot;

              (g)  those parts of the strata lot which the strata corporation must insure under                                     section 149 of the Act, which include but are not limited to: flooring type, cabinets,                       original fixtures as purchased from the developer, etc.        

        (2)  The strata corporation must not unreasonably withhold its approval under

                subsection (1), but may require as a condition of its approval that the owner agree,

                in writing, to take responsibility for any expenses relating to the alteration.

        (3)  This section does not apply to a strata lot in a bare land strata plan. Obtain approval                       before altering common property

​        (4)  Except for the replacement of wall to wall carpeting with wall to wall carpeting, the                       written approval of the Strata Council must be obtained prior to the installation of

               any other flooring material. Changes to the flooring materials will be considered by                       the Strata Council on the basis of whether, in the reasonable opinion of the Strata                         Council, they will minimize the transmission of noise to other strata lots in the                                 building. A sound suppression membrane with an acoustic rating of STC75 and

               IIC Insulation Class rating of 73 or greater must be installed under any such flooring                     as laminate or engineered hard wood.

 

              The requirements for Vinyl Flooring products must have an IIC rating of 62+ literature                   of the product and a sample must be suppled to Council, along with the application                     form must be given to the Strata Council or Strata Manager prior to installation.

​

            ​  When shopping for the sound transmission barrier (underlay) ensure it meets the                          strata bylaw minimum STC and IIC Rating.
