Covenants
for Maintenance Assessments
Section
1. Creation of the Lien and Personal Obligation of Assessments.
The Developer as the present owner of the Properties hereby covenants, and each
subsequent Owner of any R. V. Lot by acceptance of a deed or contract therefor
(whether or not it shall be so expressed in any such deed, contract or other
conveyance) is deemed to covenant and agree to pay to the Association: (1)
monthly assessments or charges as provided herein; (2) a monthly utility service
fee which may be adjusted from time to time by the Association and (3) special
assessments for capital improvements, such as assessments to be fixed,
established and collected from time to time as hereinafter provided. The
monthly assessments, monthly utility service fee and special assessments
(hereafter collectively “assessments”), together with such interest thereon and
costs of collection thereof as hereinafter provided, shall be a continuing lien
thereon against which each such assessment or utility service fee is made until
paid. Each such assessment and utility service fee, together with such interest
thereon and costs of collection thereof as hereinafter provided, shall also be
the personal obligation of the person who was the Owner of such R. V. Lot at the
time when the assessment or utility service fee fell due, and the Association
shall have a lien against such owner’s R. V. Lot(s) for the entire amount due,
which lien shall be effective as of the due date.
Section
2. Purpose of Assessments. The assessments and utility service fees
levied by the Association shall be used exclusively for the purpose of promoting
the recreation, health, safety and welfare of the residents in the R. V. Lots
and in particular, payment for water and electrical use and for the improvement,
maintenance and operation of the Common Properties, including but not limited
to, the payment of taxes and insurance on the Common Properties and repair,
replacement and additions thereto, and for the cost of labor, equipment,
materials, management and supervision thereof, and for the treatment,
purification and distribution of water to the R. V. Lots and areas in the
Property. Nothing herein shall limit the charging of special fees for the use of
Common Properties for limited purposes, over and above the assessments or
utility service fees charged hereunder. No assessments or utility service fees
hereunder shall be used for capital improvements of expenditures (except
replacement of improvements built by the Developer and transferred to the
Association as provided in Section 2 hereof) unless approved by a vote of
two.-third (2/3) of the membership pursuant to Article V, Section 5. Nothing
hereunder shall permit the Developer to assess the Members for capital
improvements to be constructed by it upon the Common Properties pursuant to the
General Plan of Development.
Section
3. Determination of Annual Assessment. The Board of Directors of the
Association, after consideration of current costs and future needs, shall
establish an annual budget and shall calculate annual assessments including a
monthly utility service fee against each R. V. Lot and area in the Property in
proportion to each other’s interest in the Common Properties of the Association.
This method of assessment shall also apply to any additional land brought within
this Deed of Dedication by Supplemental Deed of Dedication, if applicable. The
total assessment shall equal the proposed budget. The levy and assessment shall
be in accordance with Article V, Section 4.
Section
4. Fiscal Year and Due Dates for Assessments. The fiscal year of the
Association shall run from January 1 to December 31 . The annual assessments against each Owner and
his R. V. Lot and area provided for in Section 3 including the utility service
fee shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms of Owner’s
Contract.
The
assessment and utility service fee shall be paid on or before the due date
established in the Contract signed by Owner and shall be delinquent if not paid
within thirty (30) days from the due date.
Section
5. Special Assessments for Capital Improvements. In addition to the
assessments and utility service fee, authorized by Section 3 hereof, the Board
of Directors may levy in any assessment year a special assessment, for the
purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of any new construction or
additional capital improvement(s) upon the Common Properties, including the
necessary fixtures and personal property related thereto, provided that any such
assessment shall have the assent of two—thirds (2/3) of the votes of the
membership who are voting in person or by proxy at a meeting duly called for
this purpose, written notice of which shall be sent to all Members at least
thirty (30) days in advance and shall set forth the purpose of the
meeting.
The
due date of any special assessment under this Section shall be fixed in the
resolution authorizing such assessment.
Section
6. Quorum for any Action Authorized under Section 5. The quorum required
for any action authorized by Section 5 shall be as
follows:
At
the first meeting called, as provided in Section 6 hereof, the presence at the
meeting of Members or of proxies entitled to cast sixty percent (60%) of all the
votes of the membership shall constitute a quorum. If the required quorum is not
forthcoming at any meeting, another meeting may be called, subject to the notice
requirement set forth in Section 5, and the required quorum at any such
subsequent meeting shall be one—half (1/2) of the required quorum at the
preceding meeting, provided that no such subsequent meeting shall be held more
than sixty (60) days following the preceding meeting.
Section
7. Duties of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors of the
Association shall at least thirty (30) days in advance of the beginning of a new
fiscal year prepare a roster of the Properties and the annual assessments and
utility service fees applicable thereto which shall be kept in the office of the
Association and shall be open to inspection by any Owner, and shall at that time
fix the amount of the annual assessment in accordance with this Deed of
Dedication against each R. V. Lot for the next fiscal
year.
Written
notice of the total annual assessment and utility service fees and the amount of
each monthly assessment and monthly utility fees shall thereupon be sent to
every Owner. This notice must be sufficient to inform each Owner of his monthly
assessment and monthly service fees and no further notices are necessary for
that fiscal year.
The
Association shall upon demand at any time furnish to any Owner, any mortgagee,
or prospective owner or mortgagee liable for said assessment and utility service
fee a certificate in writing signed by an officer of the Association, setting
forth whether said assessment and/or utility service fee has been paid. Such
certificate shall be conclusive evidence of payment of any assessment
and/or utility service fee therein stated to have been
paid.
Section
8. Effect of Non—Payment of Assessment; The Personal Oblication of the Owner;
The Lien; Remedies of Association. If an assessment or utility service fee
is not paid on the date when due (being the date specified in Section 4 hereof)
then such assessment and utility service fee shall become delinquent and shall,
together with such interest thereon and cost of collection thereof as
hereinafter provided, hereupon become a continuing lien on the property of such
delinquent owner which shall bind such property in the hands of the then owner,
his heirs, devisees, personal representatives and assigns, and shall also become
a personal obligation of the owner and of the delinquency date. The personal
obligation of the then Owner to pay such assessment including a utility service
fee shall remain his personal obligation until such assessment and utility
service fee is paid.
If
the assessment and utility service fee is not paid within thirty (30) days after
the delinquency date, the assessment and utility service fee shall bear interest
from the date of the delinquency at a legal rate (established by the
Association) not to exceed then percent (10%) per annum and the Association may
bring an action against the owner(s) personally obligated to pay the same and/or
to foreclose the lien against the R. V. lot(s), and there shall be added to the
amount of such assessment and utility service fee the costs of preparing and
filing the Petition or Complaint in such action, and in the event a judgment is
obtained, such judgment shall include interest on the assessment and utility
service fee as provided and a reasonable attorney’s fee to be fixed by the court
together with the costs of the action.
Section
9. Subordination of the Lien to a First Mortgage; Other Mortgages
Forbidden. The lien of the assessments and utility service fee provided
hereTh shall be subordinate to the lien of any first mortgage now or hereafter
placed upon the Properties by the Developer to pay development costs of the
Property (which must be released when an owner pays for his lot). Owners shall
not be permitted to place any mortgage or other encumbrance upon the Properties
or any portion thereof other than a first mortgage except: Any mortgage and
other security interest given to Developer by any purchaser of any R. V. Lot(s).
If an Owner violates this Section 9, the lien for assessment(s) and utility
service fees shall be superior to any other such lien, mortgage or other
encumbrance. Sale or transfer of any lot pursuant to a decree of foreclosure or
any other proceeding or deed in lieu of foreclosure, shall receive such lot(s)
from liability for any assessments and utility service fees assessed after such
acquisition of title, nor from the lien of such subsequent assessment or utility
service fee.
Section
10. Exempt Property. The following property,
subject
to
this Deed of Dedication, shall be exempted from the assessments, and utility
service fees charges and liens created herein:
(a)
All properties to the extent of any easement or other interest therein dedicated
and accepted by the local public authority and devoted to public
use;
(b)
All Common Properties as defined in Article I, Section 1;
and
(c)
All utility easements.
(d) All lots not located in the R. V. Park
shall be exempt from the utility service fee.
Section
11. Water Connection Fees. The Developer hereby undertakes and
agrees to build or cause to be build a water distribution system to serve the R.
V. lots and to pay and install main water distribution lines throughout the
Property and pay all costs of construction thereof and complete the same by
December 3, 1986. The main water distribution lines shall be laid within the
roadway and other easements as shown on the Plat of Flint Ridge R. V. Park.
After such water lines have been laid and water is available to a given R. V.
lot(s) for the Owner to connect thereto, the Association will charge Owner a
monthly utility service fee to be paid to the Association so long as Owner is
the record title holder to his Lot.
The
Association shall establish reasonable rules and regulation(s) for water
usage, reasonable utility service fee and the establishment of proceedings in
the event of non—payment by any Owner(s) for water used, which shall include
without limitation cutting off the supply of water to such defaulting
owner(s).
After
the water treatment and distribution system and the main water line distribution
system has been conveyed and transferred to the Association, all future repairs,
replacement, maintenance and operation thereof shall be the responsibility of
the Association and any costs thereof shall be paid by the Association and
included in the maintenance assessments as provided in Article V, Section
3.
Section
12. Interim Monthly Assessments
Contract(s) Between Owner(s) and Deve1oper. It being recognized by
the Developer until a sufficent number of lots have been sold in order that the
Association would have sufficient revenues to pay all costs of repair,
maintenance, replacement, operation and management of the Common Properties to
be owned by the Association, the Developer may contract with any prospective
Owners for such Owner(s) to pay an agreed upon maximum amount for their share of
the monthly assessment and utility service fee owing to the Association. In such
event, the Developer shall underwrite and pay any such excess cost to the
Association over and above the contracted amount.
