Automatic Fines: The Board of Directors takes the personal safety, welfare, financial investment and shared community liability of our Association very seriously. Because of this, the Board has implemented “AUTOMATIC” Fine Assessments for matters that have an immediate impact on the safety, welfare and liability of the community. An automatic fine of $50 will be assessed for gross violations of the Rules and Regulations. These included, but are not limited to: glassware inside the pool fence areas; the riding of bicycles, motorcycles, mopeds, motorized scooters, skateboards, skates, roller-blades, go-carts, or similar vehicles, etc. in the common area; excessive speed in driveways, parking lots, etc.; failure to yield the right of way to pedestrians; vandalism; deliberate destruction of Association property, including plants, trees, shrubs, etc.; and graffiti. In addition, an automatic fine of $50 will be assessed for dumping excessive or non-household trash (such as furniture, appliances, mattresses, sofas, industrial trash, etc.) PLUS cost of removal.

Board Action On Violations and Right To Appeal

THE HOMEOWNER CITED IN A "NOTICE OF VIOLATION" HAS THE RIGHT TO APPEAL THROUGH A HEARING BEFORE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. APPLICATION FOR SUCH A HEARING MUST BE MADE IN WRITING TO THE BOARD THROUGH THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY WITHIN TEN (10) WORKING DAYS OF ISSUANCE OF THE VIOLATION NOTICE. Hearing Request Forms are available upon request from the Management Company. Hearing Request Forms must be completed and received by the management company no later than 5:00 p.m. the Friday before the regularly scheduled Board Meeting, or will be scheduled for the next month's meeting. The Management Company will advise of the date, time and place of the hearing. Failure to apply for a hearing within the allotted time will constitute an admission of guilt and no further appeals may be made. Based on the facts presented and representation made by the person cited, the Board may, at its discretion:

A. Levy a fine assessment in accordance with the schedule above or initiate legal action, depending upon the nature and circumstances of the violation;

B. Grant an extension of the time allowed to correct the violation, in which case the Board will also determine the action to be taken in the event it is not corrected;

C. Dismiss the action; or

D. If the homeowner contesting the violation fails to appear at the regularly scheduled meeting, an applicable assessment will be charged to their account.

The homeowner cited will be given a written notice of the action adopted by the Board. Fine assessments are payable upon receipt of the regularly scheduled billing statement following the notice of action. Delinquent payments will be subjected to enforcement by lien proceedings.
