2.12 Certificate of Payment. The Association shall furnish to ant interested Person a certificate signed by an officer of the Association setting forth whether assessments against a specific Lot have been paid and, if not, its unpaid balance. To defray its costs, the Association may impose a reasonable, uniform charge for issuing such certificates. A properly executed certificate of the Association as to the status of assessments on a Lot is binding on the Association as of the date of issuance.

2.13 Lein for Assessments. All sums assessed to any Lot, together with interest and all costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees, shall become a lein on such Lot in favor of the Association upon the recording of a claim of lein signed by an officer of the Association. The Association may record a claim notice of lein against any LOt when any assessment is delinquent. Each such assessment, together with interest and all costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees, also is the personal obligation of the Person who was the Owner of such Lot when the assessment fell due. The personal obligation for delinquent assessments does not pass to an Owner's successors in title, however, unless assumed expressly in writing.

2.14 Remedies of the Association.

(a) Personal Obligation. Any assessment not paid within 30 days after its due date bears interest from the due date, at the rate established from time to time by the Board of Directors, not to exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time permitted under the laws of the State of Florida, nor to be less than ten percent (10%) per annum. The Association may bring an action at law against any Owner personally obligated to pay such assessment, or foreclose its lein against the Lot. No Owner may waive or otherwise escape liability for the Association's assessments by nonuse of the Common Areas or by abandonment by such Owner's Lot, or for any other reason except as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. A suit to recover a money judgement for unpaid assessments may be maintained without foreclosing, waiving, or otherwise impairing the Association's lein, or its priority.

(b) Foreclosure. The Association's lein may be enforced by judicial foreclosure by the Association in same time manner in which mortgages on real property from time to time may be foreclosed in the State of Florida. In any such foreclosure, the Owner is required to pay all costs and expenses and expenses of foreclosure, including reasonable attorneys' fees, and any assessments against the Lot that become due during the period of foreclosure. All such costs and expenses and assessments are securedby the lein foreclosed. The Association has the right to bid at the legal sale to acquire the Lot foreclosed, or to acquire such Lot by deed or other proceeding or conveyence in lieu of foreclosure, and thereafter to hold, convey, lease, encumber, and otherwise deal with such Lot as an owner, but for purposes of resale only.

2.15 Subordination of Lein. The lein for the assessments provided in this article is subordinateto the lein of any FirstMortgage, unless the Association's lein was recorded prior to the recording of the Mortgage. Sale or transfer of any Lots does not affect the assessment lein, except that the sale or transferpursuant to a First Mortgage foreclosure or any proceeding or conveyance in lieu thereof, extinguishes the assessment lein as to payment that become due before such a saleor transfer, unlesssuch assessment was secured by a claim of lein for assessmentsthat isrecorded prior to recording of said First Mortgage. Any assessment extinguished by the foreclosure of a First Mortgage or conveyance in lieu thereof, shall be deemed to be an expense of the Association collectible from all Owners (including the foreclosing First Mortgage) in accordance with the Association's normalassessment procedures. No such sale or transfer relieves such Lot from liability for assessments thereafter becoming due, or from the Association's lein. The Association shall report to any First Mortgagee of a Lot any assessments remaining unpaid for more than 30 days and shall give such First Mortagagee 30 days in which to cure such delinquency before instituting foreclosure proceedings against such Lot, provided the First Mortgagee has given the Association written notice of its mortgage, designating by a proper legal description the Lot encumbered and stating the address to which notices shall be given. Nothing herein shall be construed to impose on the First Mortgagee any duty to collect assessments

building, fence, wall, outbuilding, landscaping or other structure
or improvement shall be erected, altered, added on to upon any
portion of the Property without the prior written consent of the
A.R.C. The foregoing requires the A.R.C. 's prior approval for any
and all construction, changes (including color changes),
alterations, additions, reconstruction, improvements, or of any
nature whatsoever on any Lot or to the exterior of a Unit within
the Property unless any structure, use, or activity is expressly
permitted by the Architectural Criteria.

proposed improvements, including site plans, grading plans, floor
plans depicting room sizes and layouts, exterior elevations,
specifications of materials and exterior colors, and any other
information deemed necessary by the A.R.C. for the performance of
its function. In addition, the Owner shall submit the identity of
the individual or company intended to perform the work and
projected commencement and completion dates.

5.5 Plan Review. Upon receipt by the A.R.C. of all of the

are compatible with the other structures in the Property; (ii) the
improvements will not violate any restrictive covenant or encroach
upon any easement or cross platted building set back lines; (iii)
the improvements will not result in the reduction in property value
or use of adjacent property; and (iv) the improvements will be
substantially completed, including all cleanup, within six (6)
months of the date of commencement [twelve (12) months for the

same extent as if erected without prior approval of the A.R.C. The
A.R.C., the Association or any Owner may maintain an action at law
or in equity for the removal or correction of the non-conforming
structure and, if successful, shall recover from the Owner in
violation all costs, expenses and fees incurred in the prosecution
thereof.

5.7 Inspection. The A.R.C. or its designate shall inspect
the construction after completion to assure compliance with the
approved plans and specifications and shall issue a certificate of
compliance if the improvements substantially comply with the
approved plans and specifications and any non-compliance does not
materially violate the provisions of this Declaration or the
Architectural Criteria. If the A.R.C. refuses or is unable to
issue a certificate of compliance, then it shall report to the
Board of Directors specifying the matters of non-compliance. The
Board of Directors shall consider the matters of non-compliance and
shall afford the affected Owner or his representative an
opportunity to be heard regarding such matters following reasonable
notice of the meeting at which these matters will be considered.
The Board of Directors shall thereafter issue a directive excusing
the non-compliance or requiring the Owner to correct the non-
compliant items.

8.0 Effect Upon Additional Lands. With respect to the Addi-
tional Lands, the provisions of this Declaration are not self-exe-
cuting and shall be of no legal force and effect unless from time
to time extended to all or any portion of the Additional Lands by
a recorded amendment to this Declaration, that declares all or a
part of the Additional Land to be subject to the provisions hereof.
Declarant agrees that all extensions shall be in accordance with
the general plan of development established by this Declaration and
the PUD Ordinance. Declarant or any person to whom Declarant has
assigned its rights to develop the Additional Land may execute and
record such an amendment or amendments without the consent or
joinder of any Owner, Subdivision Declarant, the Association, or
any other Person. The provisions of this Declaration then
automatically shall be extended to the portion of the Additional
Lands described in such amendment and shall run with such lands and
be binding upon all Persons having any right, title or interest
therein, or any part thereof, their respective heirs, successors,
and assigns. Until the foregoing occurs this Declaration does not
constitute an encumbrance or restriction upon the title to all or
any portion of the Additional Lands. If the provisions of this
Declaration have not been so extended to the Additional Lands on or
before fifteen years from the date this Declaration is recorded,
then the Declarant, its successors or assigns shall no longer have
the right to extend the provisions of this Declaration as provided
in this Article.

8.1 Other Extensions. The extension of the provisions of
this Declaration to any lands other than the Additional Lands re-
quires the approval of two-thirds (2/3) of each class of the mem-
bers of the Association. Such extension shall become effective
upon recording an amendment to this Declaration, executed by the
Association and the Owners of all interests in lands to which the
provisions of this Declaration are extended with the formalities
from time to time required for a deed under the laws of the State
of Florida.

 



9.0. Enforcement.

(a) Rights of Declarant and Association. Declarant
reserves the right for the Declarant or the Association, following
ten (10) days written notice to the Owner of the Lot specifying a
violation of the Legal Documents, to enter upon any Lot to correct
any violation of the Legal Documents or to take such other action
at the expense of the Owner as Declarant or the Association deems
necessary to enforce these covenants and restrictions. The Owner
of the Lot shall pay Declarant or the Association on demand the
actual cost of such enforcement plus twenty (20%) percent. In the
event that such charges are not paid on demand, the charges shall
bear interest at the maximum legal rate of interest from the date
of demand. Declarant or the Association may, at its option, bring
action at law against the Owner personally obligated to pay the
same, or upon giving the Owner ten (10) days written notice of an
intention to file a claim of lien against a Lot, may file and
foreclose such lien.

(b) Legal Proceedings. The Declarant, the Association,
or the Owner has the right to enforce by any appropriate proceeding
all restrictions, covenants, and easements now or hereafter imposed
by, or pursuant to, the provisions of the Legal Documents. If the
Association or the Declarant is the prevailing party in any
litigation involving the Legal Documents or any of the
Association's Regulations, or if any Owner obtains the enforcement
of any provision of the Legal Documents against any Owner, other
than Declarant or the Association, then such party may recover all
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred
in trial and appellate proceedings from such nonprevailing Owner.
In no event may such costs and expenses be recovered against the
Association or Declarant, unless otherwise provided by Law. If the
Association is the prevailing party against any Owner, such costs
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, may be assessed
against the Owner's Lot, as provided in the Articles entitled
"Covenant for Assessments".

(c) No Waiver. Failure by the Declarant, the
Association or by any Owner to enforce any covenant, restriction,
Regulation will not constitute a waiver of the right to do so at
any time, nor shall such failure to enforce create any liability
for the Declarant or the Association to any Owner or any other
Person.

9.1 Term and Renewal. The provisions of this Declaration
shall run with and bind the Property,' and all other lands to which
it may hereafter be extended as provided herein, and shall be
binding on all Persons having any right, title, or interest
therein, their respective heirs, successors, and assigns and shall
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Declarant, the
Association or any Owner, their respective heirs, successors, and
assigns, for a period of 40 years from the date this Declaration is
recorded, whereupon these provisions shall be extended
automatically for successive renewal periods of ten years each,
unless sixty-seven percent (67%) of the then Owners elect not to
reimpose them as evidenced by an instrument executed by such Owners
and recorded during the six months immediately preceding the
beginning of any renewal period.

9.2 Amendment.

the right without the joinder or consent of any Owner, the
Association, the holder of any mortgage, lien or other encumbrance
affecting the Property, or ally other Person except the Master

requirements of a governmental agency, institutional First
Mortgagee, or other Person (including the Federal National Mortgage
Association, Veterans Administration, or the Federal Housing
Authority) willing to make, insure, guaranty, or purchase mortgage
loans secured by a Lot; or (ii) to amend this Declaration or the
other Legal Documents to cure any ambiguity or error or any
inconsistency between these provisions and the other Legal
Documents or the Plat.

(b) Owners. Subject to specific provisions of this
Declaration which shall supersede the provisions of this paragraph,
this Declaration may be amended by the Association with the
formalities from time to time required of a deed under the laws of
the State of Florida and signed by not less than sixty-seven
percent (67%) of all Owners. No amendment shall be effective until
recorded but the Association's proper execution shall entitle it to
public record, notwithstanding the informal execution by the
requisite percentage of Owners.
