The Class B member shall be the Declarant who shall be entitled to three (3) votes for each unoccupied Affected Lot owned by it. The Class B membership shall cease and be converted to Class A membership one hundred twenty (120) days after the conveyance of the Affected Lot which causes the total votes outstanding in the Class A membership to equal the total votes outstanding in the Class B membership, or ten (10) years after conveyance of the first Affected Lot by Declarant, whichever occurs earlier. Class B membership shall be reinstated at any time before the expiration of twenty (20) years from the date of conveyance of the first Affected Lot if additional Affected Lots owned by a Class B member are annexed to this Declaration in sufficient numbers to restore a ratio of at least one Class B Lot for each three Class A Lots in the Property. c) Suspension. All voting rights of an Owner shall be suspended during any period in which such Owner is delinquent in the payment of any assessment duly established pursuant to this Article or is otherwise in default hereunder or under the Bylaws or Rules and Regulations of the Association and such suspension shall apply to the proxy authority of the voting Representative, if any.

DECLARANT: LUMBERMEN’S INVESTMENT CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation By: _____________________________________ John K. Pierret Executive Vice President COVENANT ENFORCEMENT AND FINING POLICYWHEREAS, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Parkwood Hill Estates Homeowners Association, Inc. (the" Association") finds there is a need to establish orderly procedures for the enforcement of the restrictive covenants set forth in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Parkwood Hill Estates, as amended from time to time (the "Declaration") and for the levying of fines against violating owners. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED that the following procedures and practices are established for the enforcement of the restrictive covenants of the Declaration and for the elimination of violations of such provisions found to exist in, on and about the lots within Parkwood Hill Estates and the same are to be known as the "Covenant Enforcement and Fining Policy" (to be referred to herein as the "Enforcement Policy") of the Association in the discharge of its responsibilities for determination and enforcement of remedies for violations within Parkwood Hill Estates: 1. Establishment of Violation. Any condition, use, activity or improvement which does not comply with the provisions of the Declaration, Bylaws or the rules and regulations of the Association, shall constitute a "Violation" under this Policy for all purposes. 2. Report of Violation. The existence of a Violation will be verified by a field observation conducted by the Board or its delegate. For the purpose of this Enforcement Policy, the delegate of the Board may include Management, an officer or member of the Board, or a member of any committee established by the Board for this purpose. A timely written report shall be prepared by the field observer for each Violation which will include the following information.
At the same time that the field observation report is prepared, the Board or its delegate may forward to the Owner of the Affected Lot in question written notice via regular first-class mail or via postcard of the discovery of a Violation(s) (the "Courtesy Notice"). The Owner will have at least ten (10) days from the date of the Courtesy Notice to correct or eliminate the Violation(s). The Board or its delegate may, in lieu of this notice, proceed immediately to the notice set forth in Paragraph 3 below. 3. Notice of Violation. If the Violation is not corrected or eliminated within the time period specified in the Courtesy Notice, or if the Board or its delegate deem it appropriate to proceed without the Courtesy Notice, the Association will forward to the Owner of the Affected Lot in question written notice of the Violation(s) by regular first-class mail or personal delivery and by certified mail, return receipt requested (the "Notice of Violation"). A Notice of Violation is not required if the alleged violator received a Notice of Violation relating to a similar Violation within six (6) months of the current Violation and was given a reasonable opportunity to cure the prior Violation. In such event, the Board may impose sanctions as authorized by the Declaration and/or this Enforcement Policy without notice to the Owner other than the Final Notice of Violation described in Paragraph 4 below. The Notice of Violation, if required, will state the following:
4. Final Notice of Violation. A formal notice of the Violation and the sanction to be imposed, including the amount of any fine or the amount of any property damage (the "Final Notice of Violation") will be sent by the Association to the Owner by regular first-class mail and by certified mail, return receipt requested, where, within the time period specified in the Notice of Violation, the Violation has not been corrected or eliminated or the Association has not timely received a written request for a hearing. 5. Request for a Hearing. If the Owner challenges the proposed action by timely requesting a hearing, the hearing shall be held in executive session of the Board or its delegate affording the alleged violator a reasonable opportunity to be heard. Such hearing shall be held no later than the 30th day after the date the Board receives the Owner's request for a hearing. Prior to the effectiveness of any sanction hereunder, proof of proper notice of the hearing shall be placed in the minutes of the meeting. Such proof shall be deemed adequate if a copy of the notice, together with a statement of the date and manner of delivery, is entered by the officer, director, agent or delegate who delivered such notice. The notice requirement shall be deemed satisfied if the alleged violator appears at the meeting. The notice of the hearing shall be sent no later than the 10th day before the date of the hearing. The Association or the Owner may request a postponement, and, if requested, a postponement shall be granted for a period of not more than ten (10) days. The minutes of the meeting shall contain a written statement of the results of the hearing and the sanction, if any, imposed by the Board or its delegate. The Association shall notify the Owner in writing of its action within ten (10) days after the hearing. The Board may, but shall not be obligated to, suspend any proposed sanction if the Violation is cured within the ten-day period. Such suspension shall not constitute a waiver of the right to sanction future violations of the same or other provisions and rules by any Owner. 6. Appeal. Following a hearing before a delegate of the Board, the Owner shall have the right to appeal the decision to the Board. To perfect this right, a written notice of appeal must be received by the manager, president or secretary of the Association within ten (10) days after the date of the Association's written notice to the Owner of the results of the hearing. Any hearing before the Board shall be held in the same manner as provided in Paragraph 5 for hearings before a delegate of the Board. 7. Correction of Violation. Where the Owner corrects or eliminates the Violation(s) prior to the imposition of any sanction, no further action will be taken (except for collection of any monies for which the Affected Lot Owner may become liable under this Enforcement Policy and/or the Declaration). Written notice of correction or elimination of the Violation may be obtained Horn the Board upon request for such notice by the Owner and upon payment of a fee for same, the amount of which is set by the Board. 8. Corrective Action. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein to the contrary, where a Violation is determined or deemed determined to exist, the Board may undertake to cause the Violation to be corrected, removed or otherwise abated if the Board, in its reasonable judgment, determines the Violation may be readily corrected, removed or abated without undue expense and without breach of the peace. Where the Board decides to initiate any such action, the following will apply:
9. Referral to Legal Counsel. Where a Violation is determined or deemed determined to exist and where the Board deems it to be in the best interests of the Association to refer the Violation to legal counsel for appropriate action, the Board may do so at any time. Such legal action may include, without limitation, sending demand letters to the violating Owner and/or seeking injunctive relief against the Owner to correct or otherwise abate the Violation. Attorney's fees and all costs incurred by the Association in enforcing the Declaration and administering this Enforcement Policy shall become the personal obligation of the Owner. 10. Fines. Subject to the provisions of this Enforcement Policy and/or the Declaration, the imposition of fines will be on the following basis:
11. Notices. Unless otherwise provided in the Enforcement Policy, all notices required by this Enforcement Policy shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally and/or if sent by United States Mail, first-class postage prepaid, to the Owner at the address which the Owner has designated in writing and filed with the Secretary of the Association or, if no such address has been designated, to the address of the Affected Lot of the Owner.
12. Cure of Violation During Enforcement. An Owner may correct or eliminate a Violation at any time during the pendency of any procedure prescribed by this Enforcement Policy. Upon verification by written report to t4e Board and sent, where appropriate, to the Board that the Violation has been corrected or eliminated, the Violation will be deemed no longer to exist. The Owner will remain liable for all costs and fines under this Enforcement Policy, which costs and fines, if not paid upon demand therefore by Management, will be referred to the Board of Directors of the Association for collection. 13. Definitions. The definitions contained in the Declaration and Bylaws are hereby incorporated herein by reference. IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED that this Covenant Enforcement and Fining Policy is effective upon adoption hereof, to remain in force and effect until revoked, modified or amended.
