    1. apply for and become a BCH LRB pursuant to section 14(1) of the Act, and register the New Home for coverage by HWI provided by a warranty provider pursuant section 22(1) of the Act;
    2. provide BCH with proof that the New Home is being built by a BCH LRB and is enrolled in a policy of HWI pursuant to section 22 of the Act;
    3. if Peters meets the eligibility requirements, Peters may apply for, and be issued, an Owner Builder Authorization for the New Home on the Property pursuant to section 20(1) of the Act and section 4.1(2) of the Regulation; 
    4. arrange for a restrictive covenant to be registered on the title to the Property restricting the sale or other disposition of any dwelling unit on the Property for 10 years from the date of first occupancy of one of the dwelling units pursuant to section 2(2.1) of the Regulation; or
    5. alternatively, provide BCH with documentary confirmation that the New Home no longer meets the definition of a ‘new home’ as defined under the Act.
