Prior to reporting an infraction or dispute to the Association, residents should make every reasonable attempt to resolve the matter between each other first. Violations must be documented and reported, in writing, to the Board of Directors or through the Association. Please include date, address and time of incident; anonymous complaints may not be acknowledged or acted upon unless verified by the Board or Agent, except late payment of Annual dues, which will be addressed in fine schedule. 

​

1. Initial Notice. Upon verification of the existence of a violation by the Board, an initial violation letter will be sent to the lot owner, a written notice of the discovery of the violation (“initial notice”). The initial notice will inform the recipient as follows:​​

   1. ​The nature, description and location of the violation; and

   2. A request to remedy the violation; and

   3. If the violation has already been corrected or plans and specifications for a subject improvement have been submitted to the architectural review committee to disregard the notice.
       

2. Second Notice of Violation. If the lot owner fails to remedy the violation or fails to submit plans and specifications for the offending improvement to the architectural review committee or if the architectural review committee has denied approval of the plans and specifications submitted, and the violation is continuing, no earlier than ten(10) days from the initial notice (unless specifically provided for in the association’s governing documents), Board shall send to the lot owner a second notice of violation informing the recipient as follows:​

   1. The nature, description and location of the violation and the failure of the lot owner to correct the violation, as previously requested; and

   2. Notice that if the violation is corrected or eliminated within ten (10) days from the delivery of the second notice of violation, no further action will be taken; and

   3.  If necessary, work on any improvement must cease immediately and may not resume without expressed written approval of the architectural review committee; and​

   4. Failure to remedy or cease work on any subject improvement will result in the
      association electing to pursue any one or more of the remedies available to the association under the declaration or this enforcement policy.
       

3. Failure to Remedy. Failure to (i) cease all work immediately upon receipt of the second notice of violation, or (ii) remedy the current violation existing upon the lot within ten (10) days of the date of the second notice of violation (or sooner if specifically provided), shall constitute a continuing violation and result in one or more of the following: (a) a fine being levied by the association against the lot owner, (b) correction of the offending improvement by the association at the expense of the lot owner through a benefitted assessment being levied against the lot owner, which may be recorded as a lien against the lot or (c) any other remedy under law or at equity, the declaration or this enforcement policy, including but not limited to injunctive relief. Board shall send to the lot owner a formal notice of fine informing the recipient of the continuing violation and the remedy chosen as a result thereof. The date of the notice of fine shall be the
   “no- tice of fine date.”
   ​

4. Fine Structure. At the Board’s discretion, pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 2, an initial fine may be imposed from $10 to $1,500 followed by fines imposed at the rate of $10 to $100 per occurrence, day, week or month, pursuant to the association’s fine schedule.

5. Hearing. Included in the notice of fine will be the opportunity for the lot owner to request and be granted a hearing by the appropriate committee or the Board prior to any fine or benefited assessment being levied upon the lot owner. The notice of fine will allow the lot owner ten (10) days to contact the Board, in writing, to request a hearing or issue a written dispute of the continuing violation. Should the lot owner fail to contact the Board within ten (10) days of the notice of fine date, that party will have waived its opportunity for said dispute to be heard before the board of directors. All cases that are up for fine review will be heard by the board of directors at their regularly scheduled meetings.
