Section 1. Creation of the Lien and Personal Obligations of Assessments. The Declarant, for each Lot owned within the Properties, hereby covenants, and each

Owner of any Lot by acceptance of a deed therefore, whether or not it shall be so expressed in such deed, is deemed to covenant and agree to pay to the Association: (1) annual assessments or charges, and (2) special assessments for capital improvements, such assessments to be established and collected as hereinafter provided. The annual and special assessments, together with interest, costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees, shall be a charge on the land and shall be a continuing lien upon the property against which each such assessment is made. Each such assessment, together with interest, costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees, shall also be the personal obligation of the person who was the Owner of such property at the time when the assessment fell due. The personal obligation for delinquent assessments shall not pass to his successors in title unless expressly assumed by them. Section 2. Purpose of Assessments.

The assessments levied by the Association shall be used exclusively to promote the recreation, health, safety, and welfare of the residents in the Properties and for the improvement and maintenance of the Common Area, and of the homes situated upon the Properties. Section 3. Maximum Annual Assessment. From and after January 1 of the year immediately following the conveyance of the first Lot to an Owner, the maximum annual assessment may be increased each year not more than three percent (3%) above the maximum assessment for the previous year without a vote of the membership.

(a) From and after January 1 of the year immediately following the conveyance of the first Lot to an Owner, the maximum annual assessment may be increased above three percent (3%) by the vote or written assent of two-thirds of the Members who are voting in person or by proxy at a meeting duly called for this purpose.

(b) The Board of Directors may fix the annual assessment at an amount not in excess of the maximum. Any homeowner whose condo fees are past due 90 days will receive a letter from the Village Green attorney requesting payment in full and will be billed for any related expenses. Unless a payment plan has previously been arranged with the Association Board, the association may submit a court claim for past due condo fees, pre- and post-judgment attorney's fees, and other associated fees relating to the debt, including pre- and post-judgment interest, until such time as the entire amount is paid in full. [06/14/2014]

Page 8: Microsoft Word - 2008-09-19.bylaws.doc  · Web view2017. 6. 11. · These Bylaws and the Declaration may be amended by the Association in a duly constituted meeting for such purpose

provided that any such assessment shall have the vote or written assent of two-thirds (2/3) of the Members who are voting in person or by proxy in a meeting duly called for this purpose. Section 5. Notice and Quorum for Any Action Authorized Under Sections 3 and 4.

Any action authorized under Sections 3 or 4 shall be taken at a meeting called for that purpose, written notice of which shall be sent to all Members not less than thirty (30) days or more than sixty (60) days in advance of the meeting. At the first such meeting called, the presence of Members or of proxies entitled to cast sixty percent (60%) of all the votes of the membership shall constitute a quorum. If the required quorum is not present, another meeting may be called subject to the same notice requirement and the required quorum at the subsequent meeting shall be one-half (1/2) of the required quorum at the preceding meeting. No such subsequent meeting shall be held more than sixty (60) days following the preceding meeting. Section 6. Uniform Rate of Assessment.

Both annual and special assessments must be fixed at a uniform rate for all Lots and may be collected on a monthly basis.

Section 7. Date of Commencement of Annual Assessments: Due Dates. The annual assessments provided for herein shall commence as to all Lots on the first day of

the month following the conveyance of the Common Area. The first annual assessment shall be adjusted according to the number of months remaining in the calendar year. The Board of Directors shall fix the amount of the assessment against each Lot at least thirty (30) days in advance of each annual assessment period. Written notice of the annual assessment shall be sent to every Owner subject thereto. The due dates shall be established by the Board of Directors. The Association shall, upon demand, and for a reasonable charge, furnish a certificate signed by an officer of the Association setting forth whether the assessments on a specified Lot have been paid.

Section 8. Effect of Nonpayment of Assessments: Remedies of the Association. (a) Any monthly assessment not paid by the date printed on the payment coupons shall be

charged a late fee of thirty dollars ($30.00).

(b) Any special assessment not paid within thirty (30) days after the due date shall bear

(c) interest from the due date at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum.

(d) The Association may bring an action at law against the Owner personally obligated to pay the same or foreclose the lien against the property. No Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for any assessments thereafter becoming due or from the lien thereof.

Section 9. Priority of Lien.

To the extent permitted by AS 34.08.470(b), the lien for annual and special assessments shall have priority over the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, or other similar document recorded after the recording of the Amendment on February 12, 1990 which adopts this revision to Section 9. The lien for annual and special assessments shall not be affected in any way by the sale or other transfer of a Lot.

ARTICLE V. ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL

No building, fence, wall, or other structure shall be commenced, erected, or maintained upon the Properties, nor shall any exterior addition to or change or alteration therein be made until the plans and specifications showing the nature, kind, shape, height, materials, and location of the same shall have been submitted to and approved in writing as to harmony of external design and location in relation to surrounding structures and topography by the Board of Directors of the Association, or by an architectural committee composed of three (3) or more representatives appointed by the Board. In the event said Board, or its designated committee, fails to approve or disapprove such design and location within thirty (30) days after the said plans and specifications have been submitted to it, approval will not be required, and this Article will be deemed to have been fully complied with. Once construction has begun on any plan approved by the Board of Directors or its designated committee, or on any plan begun as a result of failure of the Board of Directors or its designated committee to respond to the request for approval, the project shall be completed and materials, tools, and equipment shall be removed from the site within ninety days from the date construction began. [09/13/03]

ARTICLE VI. EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE

In addition to maintenance of the Common Area, the Association shall provide exterior maintenance upon each Lot which is subject to assessment hereunder, as follows: paint, repairs, replace and care of roofs, gutters, down spouts, exterior building surfaces, trees, shrubs, grass, walks and other exterior improvements. Such exterior maintenance shall not include glass surfaces. In the event that the need for maintenance or repairs is caused by the willful or negligent act of the Owner, his family or guests, or invitees, the cost of such maintenance or repairs shall be added to and become part of the assessment to which such Lot is subject. Once an exterior addition has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Association or by an architectural committee, the owner of the unit is responsible for the repairs and maintenance of said exterior addition. This is to include the structure’s integrity with proper railings and supports, and Association-approved paint. [09-11-04]

ARTICLE VII. RESIDENCE AND USE RESTRICTIONS

business purposes, nor shall vehicles, trailers or any other rolling stock be parked anywhere in the common areas, including lawns. There shall be no exposed storage deposited, accumulated or preserved anywhere on the Properties. Section 3. Nuisances.

“Nuisances” shall mean any substantial and unreasonable interference with the use or enjoyment of the condominium properties. All unit owners shall refrain from activity that can be construed as a nuisance. No loud noises or other noxious activities shall be permitted on the Properties. All activities that contribute to immoral, illegal, or harmful actions to unit owners or their invitees are prohibited. Security devices used exclusively to protect the security of a residence and its contents are permitted. A unit owner shall not engage in activity which will increase the rate of insurance thereon or which will obstruct or interfere with the rights of other unit owners. Each unit owner shall comply with all requirements of the local or state health authorities and with all other governmental authorities as well as the bylaws with respect to the occupancy and use of a residence. The Board of Directors of the Association shall have the right to determine if a certain activity constitutes a nuisance in accordance with the bylaws. (06/10/2017) Section 4. Signs.

No signs, posters, displays, or other advertising devices of any character, shall be erected or maintained on, or shown or displayed from the residences without prior written approval having been obtained from the Board of Directors of the Association; provided, however, that the restrictions of this paragraph shall not apply to any sign or notice of customary and reasonable dimension which states that the premises are for rent or sale. Address and identification signs shall be maintained by the Association. The Board of Directors may summarily cause all unauthorized signs to be removed and destroyed.

Section 5. Hold Harmless and Indemnification. Each unit owner shall be liable to the Association for any damage to the Common Areas of

any type or equipment thereon which may be sustained by reason of the negligence of said unit Owner or of his guests or invitees, to the extent that any such shall not be covered by insurance. Each unit Owner does further, by the acceptance of his deed, agree to indemnify each and every other unit Owner, and to hold him or her harmless, from any claim of any person for personal injuries or property damage occurring within the residence of the unit Owner, unless said injury or damage shall occur by reason of the negligence of any other unit Owner, and each unit Owner further agrees to defend, at his expense, any and all remaining owners who may be sued by a person or a claim for personal injury or property damage alleged to have been sustained within the residence of that unit Owner.

Section 6. Outside Installations. One satellite TV antenna dish shall be allowed per building, to be installed and maintained

liability for the dish and those residents subscribing to the service shall be liable for any damage that occurs from the installation of the dish. [9/15/01] No wiring or installation of air conditioning or other machines shall be installed on the exterior of the building of the Properties or be allowed to protrude through the walls or roof of the building, unless the prior written approval of the Board of Directors is secured. No basketball standards or fixed sports apparatus shall be attached to any residence without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors. Section 7. Pet Regulations.

No animals, livestock, or poultry shall be kept in any residence except that domestic dogs, cats, fish, and birds in inside bird cages, may be kept as household pets within any residence, provided they are not kept, bred or raised therein for commercial purposes or in unreasonable quantities. As used in this Declaration, “unreasonable quantities” shall be deemed to limit the number of dogs, cats and birds to two (2) each. The Association shall have the right to prohibit maintenance of any animal which constitutes, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Association, a nuisance to any other unit Owner.

Dogs and cats belonging to unit Owners, occupants or their licensees or invitees within the property, must be either kept within an enclosure, an enclosed balcony, or on a leash being held by a person capable of controlling the animal. The enclosure must be so maintained that the animal cannot escape therefrom and shall be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of the Association. Should any dog or cat belonging to a unit Owner be found unattended out of the enclosure and not being held on a leash by a person capable of controlling the animal, such animal may be removed by Declarant (or other occupant or unit Owner within the Properties), or a person designated by them to do so, to a pound under the jurisdiction of the local municipality in which the property is situated and subject to the laws and rules governing said pound, or to a comparable animal shelter.

Furthermore, any unit Owner shall be absolutely liable to each and all remaining owners, their families, guests and invitees, for any damage to person or property caused by any pets brought or kept upon the Property by an Owner or by members of his family, guests, licensees or invitees. Each pet owner shall promptly remove and properly dispose of all animal waste deposited by his or her pet in the common area. Section 8. View Obstructions.

No vegetation or other obstruction shall be planted or maintained upon any balcony in such location or of such height as to unreasonably obstruct the view from any other residence in the vicinity thereof. In the event of a dispute between Owners of units as to the obstruction of a view from a residence, such dispute shall be submitted to the Board of Directors, whose decision in such matters shall be binding. Any such obstruction shall, upon request of the Board, be removed or otherwise altered to the satisfaction of the Board by the Owner of the residence upon which said obstruction is located. Section 9. Business or Commercial Activity.

No business or commercial activity shall be maintained or conducted in any residence, except a person designated by the Association as the Agent of the Association for purposes of managing the Property may maintain management offices and facilities in a residence or in a temporary structure constructed on the Project; provided, however, that professional and 11

administrative occupations may be carried on within the residences so long as there exists no external evidence thereof. Section 10. Temporary Structures.

No temporary structure, boat, truck, trailer, camper or recreation vehicle of any kind shall be used as a living area while located on the Project: however, trailers or temporary structures for use incidental to the initial construction of the improvements on the Property may be maintained thereon but shall be removed within a reasonable time upon completion of construction on the Project. Section 11. Rubbish Removal.

Trash, garbage, or other waste shall be disposed of only by depositing same, wrapped in a secure package, into a designated trash can. No Owner of a unit shall permit or cause any trash or refuse to be disposed of on any portion of the Project subject this Declaration. No portion of the project shall be used for the storage of building materials, refuse or any to other materials other than in connection with approved construction. There shall be no exterior fires whatsoever except barbecue fires contained within receptacles thereof. Section 12. Garage or Moving Sales.
