FAQ

1. Q: What are my voting rights in the condominium association?

A: The owner(s) of each Unit shall be entitled to one (1) vote on each issue which comes before the condominium association requiring unit owner approval. If a unit is owned by more than one person or by an entity (i.e., a corporation, partnership, or trust), the unit owner shall file with the association a voting certificate designating the person entitled to vote for the unit. The designation made by voting certificate may be changed at any time by the owner(s) of the unit. On certain matters (such as waiving or reducing reserves; waiving financial statements; or amending the declaration, articles, or bylaws) a limited proxy may be given by the unit owner to another person to cast a vote for the unit owner in his or her absence. Unit owners should be aware that most day-to-day decisions of the association are made by the board of directors (and do not require a vote of unit owners).

Q: What restrictions exist in the condominium documents on my right to use my unit?

A: In order to establish harmony in the community, the condominium documents establish certain restriction on the permitted uses of units. The following is a summary of the restrictions applicable to all units:

Use–The Residential Units are to be used for residential purposes only and the number of permanent occupants permitted in such a unit is limited based on the size of the unit.

Children–Although children are required to be supervised when using recreational or common facilities, there are no limitations on children residing in the community.

Nuisances–Except as may be provided in the Declaration of Condominium, a unit owner or occupant shall not commit or permit any nuisance, nor any hazardous or illegal act, in his unit or on the common elements, or permit anything to be done or to be kept in his unit which will obstruct or interfere with the right of other members or annoy them by unreasonable noises or otherwise.

Moves, Deliveries, and Non-Emergency Repair Work– There will be no moves, deliveries, or non-emergency repair work allowed on the weekends or during holidays. For your protection and the Association’s, all vendors performing a service for a unit will need to provide a Certificate of Insurance naming the Association as additionally insured.
