Section 1. Reconstruction With Election of
Owners
In
the event of partial or total destruction of the improvements
in the project, a special meeting shall be called for
the purpose of having the Association members vote on
whether or not to repair the damage. Said meeting shall
be called within forty-five (45) days of said destruction.
If reconstruction is to take place, as approved by seventy-five
(75%) percent of the owners, the Board shall be required
to execute, acknowledge, file and record, not later than
one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of said destruction,
a certificate declaring the intention of the owners to
rebuild. |
|
Section 2. Reconstruction Assessments
If
seventy-five (75%) percent of the owners determine to
rebuild, each owner shall be obligated to contribute such
funds as shall be necessary to pay his proportionate share
of the reconstruction costs over and above the insurance
proceeds and the proportionate share of each owner shall
be the same as his proportionate interest in the Common
Area. In the event of failure or refusal by any owner
to pay his proportionate share, after notice to him, should
such failure or refusal continue for a period of sixty
(60) days, the Board may levy a special assessment against
the owner which may be enforced under the lien provisions
contained in this Declaration. |

Section 3. Obligation of the Board
If
seventy-five (75%) percent of the owners determine to
rebuild, the Board shall obtain bids from at least two
(2) reputable contractors and shall award the work of
construction to the lowest responsible bidder. The Board
shall have authority to enter into a written contract
with the contractor for such reconstruction work and the
insurance proceeds held by the Board shall be distributed
to the contractor according to the terms of the contract.
It shall be the obligation of the Board to take all steps
necessary to insure the commencement and completion of
the reconstruction at the earliest possible time. |
|
Section 4. Determination Not to Rebuild
If
the vote of seventy-five (75%) percent of the owners shall
be insufficient to authorize rebuilding: |
(a)
Subject to the rights of mortgages, any insurance proceeds
available for such rebuilding shall be distributed among
the owners and their individual lenders by the Board,
according to the fair market value of each condominium
in relation to the fair market value of all condominiums.
If seventy-five (75%) percent of the owners elect to
rebuild, the Board shall file and record a certificate
as provided in Section 1 hereinabove.
|
(b)
The Board shall have the duty, within one hundred twenty
(120) days of the date of such loss to execute, acknowledge
and record a certificate setting forth the determination
of the owners not to rebuild, and shall promptly cause
to be prepared and filed, such revised maps and other
documents as may be necessary to show the conversion
of the project to the status of unimproved land or to
show the elimination of one or more of the units as
a result of such destruction.

Section 5. Revival of Right to Partition Condominium
Upon
the recordation of such certificate, the right of any
owner to partition his condominium through legal action
shall forthwith revive. |

Section 6. Arbitration of Disputes
In
the event of a dispute among the owners with regard to
the provisions of this Article X, any owner may cause
the same to be referred to arbitration in accordance with
the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration
Association. In the event of arbitration, notice thereof
shall be given to members of the Board and all owners
as promptly as possible after reference to arbitration
is made, giving all owners an opportunity to appear in
such arbitration proceedings. The decision of such arbitrator
in this matter shall be final and conclusive on all owners.
The arbitrator may include in his decision, an award for
costs and/or attorney's fees against any one or more of
the parties to the arbitration. |

Section 7. Condemnation
In
the event an action for condemnation is proposed or commenced
by any governmental body having the right of eminent domain,
the following provisions shall apply: if such action or
proposed action is for the condemnation of the entire
project, or a portion thereof, upon unanimous consent
of all owners, the property may be sold to such government
body prior to judgment and the proceeds of such sale shall
be distributed to all owners and their lenders, as their
respective interests, may appear, based on each owners'
interest in the Common Area. Lacking such unanimous consent,
any consequent compensation for the taking shall be distributed
to the owners and their lenders, as their respective interests
may appear, according to the proportionate interest in
the property taken by the government body. |
