residence on the Lot and shall be constructed on the Lot boundary line. Each Owner will share the costs

of such fencing with the Owner of an adjoining Lot. If any Owner refuses or fails to pay his proportionate

share of fencing required to be constructed hereunder, then such obligation shall be deemed to create a

lien on his Lot for the amount owed and may be enforced by the Association or the adjcent Owner in a

similar manner to any other lien created by this Declaration. Under no circumstances shall a “chain-link”

fence be permitted.

The cost of reasonable repair and maintenance of all fencing shall be shared by the Owners who

make use of the fence in equal proportions. Notwithstanding the above, in the event that any fence is

damaged or destroyed through the act of an Owner, his agents, tenants, licensees, guests or family, it

shall be the obligation of such Owner to have a licensed contractor rebuild and repair the fence without

cost to the other Owner or Owners.

clear of weeds and trash so as not to cause an unsightly or dangerous condition, and if such Owner shall

fail after ten (10) days' written notice from the Homeowners' Association or the Architectural Control

Committee to do so, the Association shall have the right to enter upon such Lot and may cause the same

to be cleaned as necessary and assess the actual cost thereof to the Owner of such Lot. Any such

the Homeowners' Association (i) annual assessments or charges, (ii) special assessments for Lot

maintenance, and (iii) special assessments for capital improvements, such assessments to be

established and collected as hereinafter provided. Any annual or special assessment, together with

interest, costs and all attorney fees, shall be a charge on the land and shall be a continuing lien upon

the Lot against which each such assessment is made. Each assessment, together with interest, costs

and all attorney fees, shall also be the personal obligation of the person who was the Owner of such Lot

at the time when the assessment fell due. The personal obligation for delinquent assessment shall not

pass to an Owner’s successor in title unless expressly assumed by the successor in title.

vote on the approval of such increase. Voting may be done in person or by absentee ballot at a meeting

duly called for such purpose.

7.4 Special Assessments for Lot Maintenance. In addition to the annual assessments

authorized above, the Association may levy a special assessment against a Lot for the purposes of

recovering the cost of repair and maintenance of any Lot which is not maintained by a Lot Owner in

accordance with this Declaration or curing any violation by an Owner of this Declaration. Such special

assessments shall be levied against such Lots at such times as the Board of Directors deems necessary

and appropriate to bring each Lot in conformance with this Declaration.

7.5 Special Assessments for Capital Improvements. In addition to the other assessments

authorized above, the Association may levy, in any assessment year, a special assessment applicable to

meeting called for the purpose of taking any action authorized under Section 7.3 or 7.5 of this Part 7 shall

be sent to all Members not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days in advance of the meeting. At the

first such meeting called, the presence of Members entitled to cast sixty percent (60%) of all the votes

shall constitute a quorum. If the required quorum is not present at such meeting, 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 60 days following the preceding meeting.

7.7 Uniform Rate of Assessment. Annual and special assessments for capital improvements

must be fixed at a uniform rate for all Lots within the Subdivision. Special assessments for lot

maintenance under Section 7.5 need not be fixed at a uniform rate but shall be regulated by the

reasonable costs and requirements of effecting such repairs and maintenance necessary to cure any

violation of this Declaration.

7.8 Due Dates. The Board of Directors shall fix the amount of the annual 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, but the failure to give such notice shall

not affect the validity of the annual assessment established by the Board nor relieve any Owner from its

obligation to pay the annual assessment. The due dates of assessments 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. A properly executed certificate of the Association as to the status of assessments on a Lot is

binding upon the Association as of the date of its issuance.

7.9 Effective Non-Payment of Assessment; Remedies of the Association. Each Owner of any

Lot shall be deemed to covenant and agree to pay to the Association the assessments provided for

herein and agree to the enforcement of the assessments in the manner herein specified. Any

assessment, or any installment of an assessment, not paid within fifteen (15) days after the due date of

the assessment, or the due date of the installment of the assessment, shall bear interest from the due

date at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum and be subject to the imposition of a late fee in an

amount set by the Board. In the event the Association employs an attorney or attorneys for the collection

of any assessment, whether by suit or otherwise, or to enforce compliance with or specific performance of

the terms and conditions of this Declaration, or for any other purpose in connection with the breach of this

Declaration, each Owner agrees to pay all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the Association in

addition to any other amounts due or any other relief or remedy obtained against the Owner. Any

assessment made hereunder shall be due and payable within fifteen (15) days after the due date notice

of the amount and nature of costs incurred by the Association is delivered to the offending Owner. In the

event of a default in payment of any such assessment when due, in which case the assessment shall be

deemed delinquent, and in addition to any other remedies herein or by law provided, the Association may

enforce each such obligation in any manner provided by law or in equity, including, but not limited to, (i)

bringing an action at law against the Lot Owner personally obligated to pay the delinquent amounts which

came due at the time he was the Owner thereof and such action may be brought without waiving the

assessment lien securing any such delinquent amounts, provided, however, that the personal obligation

to pay delinquent assessments which came due prior to the transfer of ownership shall not pass to

successors in title; (ii) bringing an action to foreclose its assessment lien against the Lot in the manner

provided by law for the foreclosure of a realty mortgage; or (iii) suspending voting and recreational

amenities use rights as provided herein. The Association shall have the power to bid in at any foreclosure

sale and to purchase, acquire, hold, lease, mortgage and convey any and all Lots purchased at such

sale.

7.10 Subordination of the Lien to Mortgages. The lien of the assessments provided for herein

shall be subordinate to the lien of any first mortgage. Sale or transfer of any Lot shall not affect the

assessment lien. However, the sale or transfer of any Lot pursuant to mortgage foreclosure or any

proceeding in lieu thereof shall extinguish the lien of such assessment as to payments which became due

prior to such sale or transfer. No sale or transfer shall relieve such Lot from liability for any assessments

thereafter becoming due or from the lien thereof.

7.11 Non-Exemption of Owner. No Owner of a Lot may exempt himself from liability for

assessments levied against his Lot or for other amounts which he may owe to the Association under the

Declaration by waiver and non-use of any of the Common Area and facilities or by the abandonment of

his Lot.

7.12 No Offsets. All assessments shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of this

Declaration, and no offsets against such assessments shall be permitted for any reason, including,
