COVENANT FOR MAINTENANCE AND ASSESSMENTS

Creation of the Lien and Personal Obligation of Assessments. Each owner of any lot by acceptance of a deed thereafter, whether or not it shall be so expressed in any such deed or other conveyance is deemed to covenant and agree to pay the Association an annual assessment or charge for purposes of maintenance of the Common Area. The annual assessment and any special assessment together with such interest thereon and cost of collection thereof as hereinafter pro­vided shall be a charge on the land and shall be a continuing lien upon the property against which each assessment is made. Each such assessment, together with such interest, late fees, cost and reason­able attorney’s fees shall also be the personal obligation of the person who is the  owner of such property at the time when the assessment fell due.

Purpose of Assessment. The assessments levied by the Association shall be used exclusively for the purpose of promoting the recreation, health, safety, beauty, and welfare of the residents in the properties and in particular, for improvement and maintenance of Common Areas including, but not limited to payment of taxes and insurance on Common Area, repairs to, replacement of, and additions to the Common Areas, and for the cost of the labor, equipment, and materials of the Common Areas.

Basis of Annual Assessments; Three hundred & ninety-five dollars ($395) annual assessment due April 1st. New home owners will pay a portion of a calendar quarter at ninety-eight dollars & seventy-five cents ($98.75) per quarter. Annual assessment may be increased or decreased by 2/3 of the votes of the members who are voting in person or proxy.

Special Assessments for Capital Improvements. In addition to the annual assessments authorized above, the Association may levy any assessment year, a Special Assessment applicable to that year, only for purpose of defraying in whole or in part, costs of any construct­ion, reconstruction, repair, or replacement of a capital improvement upon the Common Area, including fixtures, personal property related thereto or purchases of additional Common Areas provided that any such assessments shall have the assent of 2/3 of the votes of the members who are voting in person or by proxy at a meeting duly called for this purpose, which written notice shall be sent to all members not less than ten (10) days nor more than forty-five (45) days in advance of the meeting set forth the purpose of the meeting. At any such meeting, the presence of members or proxies entitled to cast sixty percent (60%) of all votes which can be cast shall constitute a quorum. If the required quorum is not present, another meeting may be called subject to the same notice requirements as set forth herein.

Effect of Nonpayment of Assessments: Remedies of the Association. Any assessments, general or special, which are not paid when due shall be delinquent. If the assessment is not paid within sixty (60) days after the due date, the assessment shall bear a late fee of ten and no/100 dollars ($10.00) per month, and interest from the date of delinquency at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum until paid in full, and the Association may bring an action at law against the Owner personally obligated to pay the same and in addition foreclose the lien against the property.

Said lien may be foreclosed by an action brought in the name of the Board of Directors of the Association and their successors in office acting on behalf of all Association members in like manner as a mortgage of real property as provided in Sections 443.190 443.310 R.S.MO. Members of the Board of Directors and their successors in office acting on behalf of the Association, owners through an appointed representative shall have the power to bid any interest so foreclosed at the foreclosure sale and to acquire and hold, lease, mortgage, and convey the same. Any recovery obtained by the Board of Directors of the Association as a result of the foreclosure action, or any monies obtained through acquisition, sale, or lease of the aforesaid shall be first applied to the expense of such foreclosure sale or lease and then to any unpaid assessments, expenses, fees, or late charges accrued pursuant to these Declarations, and any other lawful charges due and owing to the Association from the Owner. Interest, costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees of such action shall be added to the amount of such assessment. No owner shall waive or otherwise escape liability for the assessments provided for here in for non-use of Common Areas or abandonment of his lot.

Subordination of the lien to Mortgages. The lien of the assessments provided for herein shall be subordinate to the lien of any mortgage or mortgages. Sale or transfer of any lot shall not affect the assessment lien. However the sale or transfer of any lot which is subject to any mortgage, pursuant to a decree of foreclosure under such mort­gage or any proceeding in lieu of foreclosure thereof, shall extinguish the lien of such assessments as to payments thereof which became due prior to such sale or transfer. No sale or transfer shall relieve such lot from liability for any assessments thereafter becoming due or form the lien thereof.

ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL

No building, fence wall, or other structure shall be commenced, erected or maintained upon the Properties, nor shall any exterior addition to change or alteration therein be made including exterior color, until the plans and specifications showing the nature, color, kind, shape, height, materials and location of the same shall have been submitted to and approved in writing as to harmony of external appearance, design and location in relation to surrounding structures and topography by the Class B member.

EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE

In the event a need for maintenance or repairs is cause through willful or negligent act of an Owner, his family or guest or invitees, the cost of such maintenance which shall include but not to be limited to paint, repair, replace, care of roofs, gutters, downspouts, exterior building surfaces, trees, shrubs, grass, walks and other exterior improvement but shall not include glass surfaces, may be assessed against the Owner if such maintenance or repairs are implemented by the Association and if so assessed shall be added to and become a part of the assessment to which the lot is subject.

All property shall be used, improved, and devoted exclusively to residential use. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the owner leasing a dwelling to a single family, subject to all provisions of this declaration. Declarant, however, may maintain sales offices, management offices, and model homes.

EASEMENTS

Easements for installation and maintenance of utilities and drainage facilities are and will be reserved by Declarant and dedicated to public utilities as shown on the recorder plots of said land. Such easements shall include the right of ingress and egress for construction and maintenance purposes. Within these easements, no structure, planting or other material shall be placed or permitted to remain which may damage or interfere with the installation and maintenance of utilities, or which may change the direction or flow of drainage channels in the easements, or which may obstruct or retain the flow of water through drainage channels in the easements. The easement area of each lot and all improvements in it shall be maintained continuously by the Owner of the land, except for those improvements for which a public authority or utility company is responsible.

ENFORCEMENT

The Association or any Owner shall have the right to enforce by any proceeding at law or in equity, all restrictions, conditions, covenants, reservations, liens, and charges now or hereafter imposed by the provisions of this Declaration. Failure by the Association or by any Owner to enforce any covenant or restriction herein contained shall in no event be deemed a waiver of the right to do so thereafter.

SEVERABILITY

Invalidation of any one of these covenants or restrictions by judgment or court order shall in no way affect any other provisions which shall remain in full force and effect.

DURATION

These covenants and restrictions of their Declaration shall run with and bind the land and shall insure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Association or the Owner of any lot subject to this Declaration, their respective legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns, for a term of twenty (20) years from the date of this Declaration as recorded, after which time said covenants shall automatically extend for successive periods of ten years (10).
