Master Deed
The Master Deed, in essence, is the Association Bible. This is where the
descriptions of properties and respective responsibilities are designated; for
example, roads, roofs, drives, windows, doors, air conditioners, furnace, sump
pumps, decks, fireplace, common ground and limited common grounds. The
maintenance matrix outlines co-owner and Association responsibilities. Amending
the Master Deed requires written approval of sixty-six and two-thirds percent
(66-2/3%) of both co-owners and mortgage holders.
All communications to the Board must be signed by registered co-owner or lessee.
Condominium living is somewhat like an old fashioned marriage--for richer, for
poorer, in sickness and in health—it may take some adjusting, some give and
take, to accept the fact that your co-owners/neighbor not only can, but will
insist on such things as keeping your garage door closed, refraining from
parking in other than designated areas, refraining from allowing pets run loose,
and obtaining approval to modify the exterior of a unit or the adjacent common
grounds, etc.
While some of the following rules and regulations may seem restrictive to those
moving from private homes, they are intended to protect the legal rights of
members of the community. Repeated violations of these rules will result in
penalties established by your elected Board of Directors.
It should be clear that it is the responsibility of each co-owner or renter
resident to acquaint each member of the household of the value of observing
these rules and regulations. If everyone cooperates, we will all benefit by
having a desirable and fine community. The real important part is your
participation.Just as in city government (Library Boards, School Boards,
etc.) participation by serving on a committee is a part of condominium living,
just as is serving on the Board of Directors. The pay is poor (zero) but those
who volunteer and serve the Association gain a sense of satisfaction for lending
a hand in their home community. The very essence of self government in a
condominium is volunteerism.
The annual election for the purpose of electing Board Member should have one
hundred percent participation. You are asked each year to cast your ballots for
the volunteer candidates for the Board. Our Annual Meeting should be well
attended. It is held only once a year, the third Tuesday of September.
In order for the annual meeting to be held, the presence in person of by proxy
of thirty-five percent (35%) of all co-owners qualified to vote must be in
attendance. Master
