  7. As it is the intention of the City to obtain offers that are the most suitable and most advantageous to the interests of the City, notwithstanding anything else contained within this notice, the City reserves the right, in its sole and unfettered discretion, to reject or accept any offer, including the right to reject all offers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the City may, in its sole and unfettered discretion, reject or accept any offer which:

  •  
    
    • is incomplete, obscure, irregular, unrealistic or not completed in accordance with this notice;
    • is non-compliant in a trivial/immaterial or substantial/material manner, or conditional;
    • has erasures or corrections; or
    • fails to complete the information required in the form of Purchase Agreement or Realtor Contract

  11. This notice of proposed property disposition is an invitation to make offers only. It is not an offer. The City does not intend for this notice to create any obligations between the City and any offeror and no contractual, tort or other legal obligation of any kind is created or imposed on the City by this notice or by the submission of any offer or by consideration of, or failure or refusal to consider, any offer by the City.

  13. All documents submitted to the City will be subject to the provisions of the British Columbia Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the City’s terms of use and privacy policy as set out at Kamloops.ca/Privacy-Policy are applicable to and form part of these instructions.

• What is the Dike and Drainage Statutory Right-of-Way (SRW)?

  The lots are located behind a dike which is constructed to the 1:20 year flood level. The SRW gives the City the right to access and maintain that portion of the dike that is located on the lots. You cannot construct any structures within the area of the SRW, which is shown on Plan EPP93067.

• What is the Riparian Protection Covenant?

  A riparian area is a zone of land adjacent to a body of water. Development restrictions within the zone are found within a riparian area assessment report. No structures are allowed to be placed or constructed within the riparian area. The extent of the riparian zone on the lots is shown on plan EPP93068. The full Riparian Areas Regulation - Assessment Report is attached to the Riparian Protection Covenant.  For your individual lot planning, you may want to consult a Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP) to discuss Riparian Area Regulations and lot information.

• What is the Flood Plain Covenant?

  The lots are within the 1:200-year flood plain. They are located behind a dike which is constructed to the 1:20-year flood level. The Flood Plain Covenant prohibits construction within 15m of the river, requires the underside of the floor system to be no lower than 346.6m and sets the maximum crawl space ceiling height at 1.8m (full basements are not allowed). The lots have been graded to accommodate construction to the 346.6m elevation, however additional site fill may be needed.

• What is the Driveway Access and Grading/Drainage Covenant?

  Construction on any lot is subject to the City's approval of a lot-specific grading and drainage plan, and the use of any lot must also be in compliance with the grading plan attached to the Driveway Access and Grading/Drainage Covenant. 

  Lot 1 ONLY - BC Hydro utility poles are located on Royal Avenue, with one pole being offset 5.19m from the northwest corner of Lot 1. The driveway location for Lot 1 must be established to the east of the hydro pole in accordance with the measurements and requirements of the registered Driveway Access and Grading/Drainage Covenant.
