CANAL PLACE CONDOMINIUM TRUST

UNIT OWNER SURVEY – PROPOSED SMOKING AMENDMENT

TO: All Condominium Unit Owners

FROM: Board of Trustees

SUBJECT: Amending the Condominium Documents to Adopt a Complete No- Smoking Policy

DATE: July 22, 2016

Over the last decade, there have been many changes to both public and private policies in regards to smoking. From the workplace to restaurants and other public places, many entities and organizations have introduced a ban on smoking. Recently, many local condominiums have also instituted policies to limit or even ban, smoking both in the common areas as well as inside individual units.

In response to this trend, as well as to numerous requests by residents at the Condominium, the Board has been exploring the possibility of adopting an amendment to the Condominium documents to implement an enhanced no-smoking policy. As we continue to explore this critical issue, we would like to get your feedback. Accordingly, we would appreciate it if you would take the time to complete the following survey and return it to the management company on or before August 5, 2016. Please either leave the completed form in the lobby office, send it by US mail to P.O. Box 850, Methuen, MA 01844, fax to 978-521-9968 or e-mail to royal.cathy@comcast.net.

Please note that this is not a formal vote to adopt any amendment or policy – this is only an informational survey. Thank you for your participation.

Proposed Amendment to Condominium Documents to Implement a No-Smoking Policy:

Please check one:

______ I/we support an amendment to the Condominium documents which would prohibit smoking in any area of the Condominium (including units, common areas, etc.)

______ I/we do not support an amendment to the Condominium documents to adopt a complete no-smoking policy.

” Grandfathering” for Current Owners/Tenants Who Smoke:

If you are in favor of adopting an amendment, please also indicate whether you would support a provision in the amendment which would create a limited exemption from the no-smoking policy for current owners/tenants who are smokers. This would allow current owners/tenants who smoke to continue smoking until their unit is sold or their lease expires, at which time the exemption would cease.

Please check one:

______ Yes, I/we support the inclusion of a “grandfathering” clause for current owners/tenants

_______ No, I/we do not support the inclusion of a “grandfathering” clause for current owners/tenants
