I have read the attached Planting Guidelines and agree to abide by them. I understand that the garden beds (established when the home is purchased) directly adjacent to my home are the only garden bed areas covered by this waiver, along with the front porch and back patio of my home.

Rents are not pro-rated. A security deposit is not required. The Association can, upon ninety (90) days written notification to the Owner, increase the rent.

2. The total length of the RV shall be thirty (30) feet or less.

3. Rent is due on the first of the month and delinquent if received after the 10th of the month. A late fee of $5.00, per month, will be added to the current charge, if not paid. Any costs incurred, by the Association to collect the amount due, will be added to the Owner’s balance due.

5. The Owner of the RV will supply the Association with the type, length and license number of the RV.

6. The Owner agrees to keep the RV insured for liability purposes.

14. Dwelling (Unit) – Coverage A on the unit-owner’s policy

Includes coverage for alterations, appliances, fixtures and improvements that are a part of the building contained within the residence premises. A Pinewood unit-owner is responsible for any alterations, fixtures, and improvements that were not part of the original Pinewood dwelling. The original dwelling as constructed is insured under the Pinewood Owner’s Association’s policy.
Includes coverage for property that is the unit-owner’s responsibility under your association of property owner’s Declarations. See page 29 of the Pinewood Owner’s Association Declarations. The Pinewood Owner’s Association policy offers broad coverage for the dwelling, interior and exterior. You only have responsibility for insuring the upgrades to the original dwelling.

4. Personal Property – Coverage C on the unit-owner’s policy

Includes coverage for personal property owned by you, the unit owner. Each insurance company has a specific limit of coverage for money, jewelry, firearms, property away from premises, etc. You need to discuss with your agent and set a personal property limit for your contents in your unit that would replace the contents and add any additional coverage to insure items with specific limits. Be sure and ask your agent for replacement cost coverage (HO-290). Pictures of the inside of your unit are a valuable resource in the event of a claim.

5. Loss of Use - Coverage D on the unit-owner’s policy Page 2 of 2
Loss of use is intended to provide coverage for you in the event your residence becomes unfit to live in due to a covered loss. This coverage provides additional living expenses incurred to maintain your normal standard of living outside your home.

6. Additional Coverages on the unit-owner’s policy

Loss Assessment Coverage
o Covers assessments due to common property damaged by a loss covered by the master policy. (This only takes effect if Pinewood had a large loss not completely covered under the Association’s master policy.) Your unit-owner’s policy will more than likely have a $1,000 limit included. It is important to consider increased limits up to $50,000 for both the Property and Liability. However, the amount payable for an assessment per unit that results from a deductible in the insurance purchased by Pinewood is more than likely limited to $1,000.
The Unit Owners Form of coverage you are purchasing includes only Broad Form/Named Perils. You should ask your agent about additional endorsements: Special Coverage (HO 32) for your unit-owner coverage, Special Coverage (HO M15) for your personal property, and Personal Property Replacement Cost (HO-290), and Loss Assessment Coverage (HO-35).

(g) Personal Liability on the unit-owner’s policy

Includes coverage for your liability for damages that you become legally liability to pay because of bodily injury or property damage. The standard limit on a unit owner’s policy is $300,000 occurrence. You should discuss higher limits with your agent.
Includes coverage for medical payments to others. There is not any requirement you be legally liable for injuries for your insurance company to pay under medical payments. The standard limit is $1,000.

Committees Committees Committees

Every association has committees. Committees are established as a requirement of the Covenants (ie, the Architectural Control Committee or the Nomination Committee). In addition, the Board of Directors is empowered by the governing documents to created ad-hoc committees, such as Finance or Landscape. The purpose of each committee is to address specific issues of the association and to provide recommendations to the Board of Directors. Committees, unless permitted otherwise in the governing documents, are recommending bodies only. The Board of Directors oversees the operations of committees and makes the final decision from the recommendation received from the committee. Membership in a committee is a great training ground for first time involvement with the association. In larger associations, the Board of Directors will rely heavily upon committee members to assist in the operation of the association. Members at large are more accepting of Board action when it involves committee participation. Once a committee is developed, it is important to establish operating guidelines, which include meeting schedule, tasks and responsibilities, goals and objectives, reporting function, and leadership role.

Architectural Control To preserve, enhance, and assure uniformity in the architectural aesthetics of the community by consistently applying the Covenants and Design Standards. The Architectural Control Committee develops and implements guidelines, reviews architectural submittals, and maintains records of architectural recommendations to the Board of Directors.

Building/Clubhouse/Pool/KOI Pond To repair, maintain, and upgrade the structures on the Association’s land. The building/clubhouse/pool committee establishes policies and procedures for the use and operation of the pool and recreational facility. The committee is responsible for developing and implementing a maintenance schedule for the facilities, as well as making recommendations to the Board of Directors.
0. Community Relations To monitor governmental activities and report to the Board of Directors on issues, events, and projects occurring in the surrounding community that impact the general welfare of community. The Community Relations committee works as a liaison with local government.
1. Communications To provide information to the members regarding the actions of the Board of the Directors and other committees. The Communication Committee coordinates the development of the newsletter, flyers, websites, or other general publications.
. Finance To ensure the Association’s financial transactions are handled in a timely and accurate manner consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. The Finance Committee develops and monitors the operating budget, maintains a schedule for reserve funding, and assists in the annual # 11. Committees
. audit review process.
4. Hospitality and Welcome To welcome each new homeowner within the first few months of the new member moving into the community. The Hospitality and Welcome Committee should be the first contact the new homeowner has with the association.
5. Landscape To maintain and improve, when needed, the grass, trees, plants, flowers, and grounds located in the common properties (open space, trails, lakes, streets, entrances). The Landscape Committee develops the maintenance contract, oversees the seasonal maintenance activities.
.
7. Neighborhood Events To promote community wide activities of the community such as Garage Sale, Halloween Party, Fourth of July Pool Party, Holiday Caroling Party, Community Decorating, and Social Clubs.
8. Security/Neighborhood Watch To establish procedures protecting the common property and develop a program that provides a visible presence in the community to reduce vandalism. The Committee recommends security measures and services to the Board of Directors during certain peak times of the year when additional protection is needed, such as at holiday times, summer season, or during community events.
9. Nomination Committee To present a slate of candidates to the membership for the election of the Board of Directors. Generally, this committee is mandated by the Covenants to be established for the specific purpose of ensuring the board elections are held in compliance with the state laws and association governing documents.

These are only a handful of committees that can be established by the Board of Directors. It is important for each association to address the needs of the membership by creating committees that focus on important aspects of the community. Committee work promotes member involvement and greatly improves the communication channels needed for a smooth operating association. Never overlook the value of volunteers and what they can accomplish for your community.
