the Owners of Units within the Neighborhood to fitt the vacancy for the remainder of such delegate's term.
Until such time as the Board first calls for election of a Voting Delegate for any
Neighborhood. the Owners within such Neighborhood shall be entitled personally to cast the votes

part of the Properties covered by insurance written in the name of the Association, the Board or its duly
authorized agent shall file and adjust all insurance claims and obtain reliable and detailed estimates of the
cost of repair or reconstruction. Repair or reconstruction, as used in this paragraph, means repairing or
restoring the property to substantially the condition in which it existed prior to the damage, allowing for
changes or improvements necessitated by changes in applicable building codes.
Any damage to or destruction of the Com.mon Area shall be repaired or
reconstructed unless the Voting Delegates representing at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the total
Class "A" votes in the Association, and the Class "B" Member, if any, decide within sixty (60) days after
! r'.~J'gc4%.~lron,c:r-le.;.v.' - 17-
the loss not to repair or reconstruct. If either the insurance proceeds or reliable and detailed estimates of
the cost of repair or reconstruction, or both, are not available to the Association within such sixty (60) day
period, then the period shall be extended until such funds or information are available. However, such
extension shall not exceed sixty (60) additional days. No Mortgagee shall have the right to participate in
the determination of whether the damage or destruction to the Common Area shall be repaired or
reconstructed. If determined in the manner described above that the damage or destruction to the Common
Area shall not be repaired or reconstructed and no alternative improvements are authorized, the affected
property shall be cleared of all debris and ruins and thereafter shall be maintained by th~, Association in
a neat and attractive, landscaped condition consistent with the Community-Wide Standard. Any insurance
proceeds remaining after paying the costs of repair or reconstruction, or after such settlement as is
necessary and appropriate, shall be retained by and for the benefit of the Association or the Neighborhood,
as appropriate, and placed in a capital improvements account. This is a covenant for the benefit of
IVlortgagees and may be enforced by the Mortgagee of any affected Unit. If insurance proceeds are
insufficient to cover the costs of repair or reconstruction, the Board of Directors may, without a vote of
the Voting Delegates, lew Special Assessments to cover the shortfall against those Owners responsible for
the premiums for the applicable insurance coverage under Section 6. l(a).
6.2. Owners' Insurance. By virtue of taking title to a Unit, each Owner covenants and agrees
with all other Owners and with the Association to carry property insurance for the full replacement cost
of all insurable improvements on his or her Unit, less a reasonable deductible, unless the Association
carries such insurance (which it may; but is not obligated to do hereunder). If the Association assumes
responsibility for obtaining any insurance coverage on behalf of Owners, the premiums for such insurance
shall be levied as a Specific Assessment against the benefitted Unit and the Owner thereof pursuant to
Section 8.7.
Each Owner further covenants and agrees that in the event of damage to or destruction of
structures on or comprising his Unit, the Owner shall proceed promptly to repair or to reconstruct in a
manner consistent with the original construction or such other plans and specifications as are approved in
accordance with Article 9. Alternatively, the Owner shall clear the Unit of all debris and ruins and
maintain the Unit in a neat and attractive, landscaped condition consistent with the Community-Wide
Standard. The Owner shall pay any costs which are not covered by insurance proceeds.
Additional recorded covenants applicable to any Neighborhood may establish more
stringent requirements for insurance and more stringent standards for rebuilding or reconstructing
structures on the Units within such Neighborhood and for clearing and maintaining the Units in the event
the structures are not rebuilt or reconstructed.

Article 8. ASSESSMENTS
8.1. Creation of Assessments. There are hereby created assessments for Association expenses
as the Board may specifically authorize from time to time. There shall be four types of assessments:
(a) General Assessments to fund Common Expenses for the general benefit of all Units; (b) Neighborhood
Assessments for Neighborhood Expenses benefitting only Units within a particular Neighborhood or
Neighborhoods; (c) Special Assessments as described in Section 8.6: and (d) Specific Assessments as
described in Section 8.7. Each Owner, by accepting a deed or entering into a contract of sale for any
portion of the Properties, is deemed to have notice of liability for these assessments and to covenant and
agree to pay these~ssessments.
All assessments, together with interest, late charges, costs of collection, and reasonable
attorneys fees, shall be a charge and continuing lien upon each Unit against which the assessment is made
until paid. as more particularly provided in Section 8.8. Each such assessment, together with interest noc
to exceed the maximum rate allowable by law, late charges, costs, and reasonable attorneys fees, also shall
be the personal obligation of the Person who was the Owner of such Unit at the time the assessment arose.
Upon a transfer of title to a Unit, the grantee shall be jointly and severally liable for any assessments and
other charges due at the time of conveyance. However, no first/vlortgagee who obtains title to a Unit by
exercising the remedies provided in its Mortgage shall be liable for unpaid assessments which accrued prior
to such acquisition of title.
The Association shall, upon request, furnish to any Owiaer liable for any type of assessment
a written statement signed by an Association officer setting forth whether such assessment has been paid.
Such statement shall be conclusive evidence of payment.. The Association may require the advance
payment of a reasonable processing fee for the issuance of such statement.
Assessments shall be paid in such manner and on such dates as the Board may establish,
which may include discounts for early payment or similar time/price differentials. The Board may require
advance payment of assessments at closing of the transfer of title to a Unit and impose special requirements
for Owners with a history of delinquent payment. If the Board so elects, assessments may be paid in two
(2) or more installments. Unless the Board otherwise provides, the General Assessment and any
Neighborhood Assessment shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of each fiscal year. If any
Owner is delinquent in paying any assessments or other charges levied on his Unit, the Board may require
any unpaid installments or all outstanding assessments to be paid in full immediately. Any assessment or
installment thereof shall be considered delinquent on the fifteenth (15th) day following the due date unless
otherwise specified by Board resolution.
No Owner may exempt himself from liability for assessments by non-use of Common Area,
including Exclusive Common Area reserved for such Owner's use, abandonment of his Unit, or any other
means. The obligation to pay assessments is a separate and independent covenant on the part of each
Owner. No diminution or abatement of assessments or set off shall be claimed or allowed for any alleged
failure of the Association or Board to take some action or perform some function required of it, or for
inconvenience or discomfort arising from the making of repairs or improvements, or from any other action
it takes.
The Association is specifically authorized to enter into subsidy contracts or contracts for
"in kind" contribution of services, materials, or a combination of services and materials with the Declarant
or other entities for payment of Common Expenses.
8.2. Declarant's Obligation {'0t' Assessments. So long as the Declarant owns any property which
is subject to this Declaration or which may be unilaterally subjected to this Declaration by the Declarant,
Declarant may annually elect either to pay an amount equal to re~lar assessments on all of its unsold Units
or to pay the difference between the amount of assessments levied on all other Units subject to assessment
and the amount of actual expenditures by the Association during the fiscal year. Unless the Declarant
othenvise notifies the Board in writing at least slx .ty (60) days before the beginning of each fiscal year, the
Declarant shall be deemed to have elected to continue paying on the same basis as during the immediate!y
preceding fiscal year. The Declarant's obligations hereunder may be satisfied in the form of cash or by'
"in kind" contributions of services or materials, or by a combination of these.
8.3. Computation 0{' General Assessment
(a) At least thirty (30) days before the beginning of each fiscal 3'ear, the Board shall

Section 8.5. O.,~neral Assessments shall be levied equally against all Units subject to assessment, except
as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section. The assessment rate shall be set at a level which is reasonably
expected to produce total income for the Association equal to the total budgeted Common Expenses,
· ' including reserves. In determining the total ~unds to be generated through the levy of General
Assessments, the Board, in its discretion, may consider other sources of funds available to the Association,
including any surplus from prior years and any assessment income expected to be generated from any
additional Units reasonably anticip.ated to become subject to assessment during the fiscal year.
At its option, the Board may include in tt~e budget for the General Assessment expenses

to particular Neighborhoods, are similar in nature and amount among the Neighborhoods. The base
amount corm'non to all Neighborhoods shall be paid as a General Assessment, with expenses in excess of
the base amount, if any, to be paid as a Neighborhood Expense and funded through a Neighborhood
Assessment.
So long as the Declarant owns any property which is subject to this Declaration or which
may be unilaterally subjected to this Declaration by the 'Declarant, the Declarant may, but shall not be
obligated to, reduce the General Assessment for any fiscal year by payment of a subsidy and/or
contributions of services and materials (in addition to any amounts paid by Declarant under Section 8.2),
which may be treated as either a contribution or an advance against future assessments due from the
Declarant, or a loan, in the Declaranf's discretion. Any such anticipated payment or contribution by the
Declarant shall be conspicuously disclosed as a line item in the Common Expense budget. Payments by
the Declarant in any year shall under no circumstances obligate the Declarant to continue such payments
in furore years and the treatment of such payment shall be made known to the membership, unless
otherwise provided in a written agreement between the Association and the Declarant.
The Board shall send a copy of the budget and notice of the amount of the General
Assessment for the following year to each Owner at least thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of the fiscal
year for which it is to be effective. Such budget and assessment shall become effective unless disapproved

Delegates as provided for special meetings in Section 2.4 of the By-Laws, which petition must be presented
to the Board within twenty (20) days after delivery of the notice of assessments. If a meeting is requested,
assessments pursuant to such proposed budget shall not become effective until after such meeting is held,
pro¥ided such assessments shall be retroactive to the original effective date of the budget if the budget is
not disapproved at such meeting. If the proposed budget is disapproved or the Board fails for any reason
to determine the budget for any year, then until such time as a budget is determined, the budget in effect
for the immediately preceding year shall continue for the current year. The Board shall send a copy of the
revised budget to each Owner at least thirty (30) days prior to irs becoming effective. The revised budget
shall become effective unless disapproved in accordance with the above procedure.

boundary line separating such Units, shall pay one (1)'mGeneral Assessment rate equal to one and one-half
times the assessment for an individual Unit.
8.4. "Computation of Neighborhood Assessments. At least thirty (30) days before the beginning
of each fiscal year, the Board shall prepare a separate budget covering the estimated Neighborhood
Expenses for each Neighborhood on whose behalf Neighborhood Expenses are expected to be incurred
during the coming year. The Board shall be entitled to set such budget only to the extent that this
Declaration, any Supplemental Declaration, or the By-Laws specifically authorizes the Board to assess
certain costs as a Neighborhood Assessment. Any Neighborhood may request that additional services or
a highe, r level of services be provided by the Association and, upon approval of Owners in accordance with
Section 3.3(a), any additional costs shall be added to such budget. In addition, any excess expenses over
and above the base amount for similar Neighborhood expenses paid through the General Assessment shall
be added to such budget. Such budget shall include a capital contribution establishing a reserve fund for
repair and replacement of capital items maintained as a Neighborhood Expense, if any, within the
Neighborhood. Neighborhood Expenses shall be allocated equally among all Units within the
Neighborhood benefitted thereby and levied as a Neighborhood Assessment; provided however, if so
specified in the Supplemental Declaration applicable to such Neighborhood or if so directed by petition
signed by a Majority of the Owners within the Neighborhood, any portion of the assessment intended for
exterior maintenance of structures, insurance on structures, or replacement reserves which pertain to
particular structures shall be levied on each of the benefitted Units in proportion to the benefit received.
The Board shall cause a copy of such budget and notice of the amount of the Neighborhood
Assessment for the coming year to be delivered to each OWner of a Unit in the Neighborhood at least thirty
(30) days prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. Such budget and assessment shall become effective
unless disapproved by Owners of a Majority of the Units in the Neighborhood to which the Neighborhood
Assessment applies and by the Declarant, so long as the Declarant owns any property which is subject to
this Declaration or which may be unilaterally subjected to this Declaration by the Declarant. There shall
be no obligation to call a meeting for the purpose of considering the budget except on petition of Owners
of at least ten percent 00%) of the Units in such Neighborhood. This right to disapprove shall only apply
to those line items in the Neighborhood budget which are attributable to services requested by the
Neighborhood. If a meeting is requested, assessments pursuant to such proposed budget shall not become
effective until after such meeting is held, provided such assessments shah be retroactive to the original
effective date of the budget if the budget is not disapproved at such meeting. If :he Owners within any
Neighborhood disapprove any line item of a Neighborhood budget, the Association shall not be obligated
to provide the services anticipated to be funded by such line item of the bu:tget. If the Board fails for an.,,'
reason to determine a Neighborhood budget for any year, then until such time as a budget is determined,
the budget in effect for the inLmediate[y preceding year shall continue for the current year.
8.5. Reserve Bud-oct and Capital Contributioq. The Board shall annually prepare reserve
budgets for both general and Neighborhood purposes which take into account the number and nature of
replaceable assets within the Area of Common Responsibility, the expected life of each asset, and the

sufficient to permit meeting the projected needs of the Association, as shown on the budget, with respect
both to amount and timing by annual General Assessments or Neighborhood Assessments, as appropriate,
over the budget period.
8.6. Special Assessments. In addition to other authorized assessments, the Association may leW
Sl~ecial Assessments from time to time to cover unbudgeted expenses or expenses in exc~lss of those
budgeted. Any such Special Assessment may be levied against the entire membership, if such Special

benefits, items, or services to the Unit(s) or occupants thereof upon request of the Owner pursuant to a
menu of special services which the Board may from time to time authorize to be offered to Owners and
occupants (which might include, without limitation, garbage collection, landscape maintenance, janitorial
service, pest control, etc.), which assessments may be levied in advance of the provision of the requested
benefit, item or service as a deposit against charges to be incurred by the Owner; and
(b) to cover costs incurred in bringing the Unit(s) into compliance with the terms of
this Declaration, any applicable Supplemental Declaration, the By-Laws or rules, or costs incurred ha a
consequence of the conduct of the Owner or occupants of the Unit, their agents, contractors, employees,

payment of delinquent assessments, as well as interest at a rate to be set by the Board (subject to the
maximum interest rate limitations of Georgia law), late charges in such amount as the Board may establish

residential purposes, the first annual General Assessment and Neighborhood Assessment levied shall be
paid immediately upon demand by the Association, and shall be based on the date of occupancy of the Unit
for residential purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Builder holding any lot for one (1) year after
purchase shall be obligated to pay the full annual assessment and capital contribution under Section 8.12
for such lot, commencing with the first day of the month after the first anniversary of the Builder's
purchase of the lot. The first annual General Assessment and Neighborhood Assessment shall be adjusted
according to the number of months remaining in the fiscal year at the time assessments commence on the
Unit.
8.10. Failure tO Assess. Failure of the Board to establish assessment amounts or rates or to
deliver or mail each Owner an assessment notice shall not be deemed a waiver, modification, or a release
of any Owner from the obligation to pay assessments. In such event, each Owner shall continue to pay
General Assessments and Neighborhood Assessments on the same basis as during the last year for which
an assessment was made, if any, until a new assessment is levied, at which time the Association may
