addition, in the case of either repeated or serious violation(s) of any Rule
governing the use and enjoyment of the General Common Elements, the Board
may suspend such Owner’s (including such Owner’s family members, guests,
invitees and tenants) rights to use one or more specified General Common
Elements (for example, the Fitness Center, Game Room, Pool) for a period
determined by the Board, not to exceed one month. Whether a particular violation
(as opposed to repeated violations) is sufficiently serious to warrant suspension
of the violating Owner’s right to use certain General Common Elements will be
determined by the Board but would include, by way of example and not
limitation:
• Conduct that violates applicable laws;
• Conduct that creates material danger to Owners, guests, invitees, tenants or
occupants (including the violating Owner, his or her guests, invitees, tenants or
occupants);
• Conduct that results in bodily injury or significant damage to the General
Common Elements or other property;
19
• Conduct that results in interference with the rights of other Owners, guests,
invitees, tenants or occupants to use and enjoy the General Common Elements
(for example, conduct that results in the need to close or drain the Pool or Spa);
or
• Conduct that is threatening, abusive or harassing to other Owners, guests,
invitees, tenants or occupants.
Violation of any suspension imposed by the Board (i.e., use of the applicable General Common
Elements while suspended) shall subject the applicable Owner to a fine as set forth in this Section
5(b) for each day of violation. Anything to the contrary provided in this Section 5(b)
notwithstanding, in no event shall the rights of any Owner to use any General Common Element
necessary in connection with such Owner’s access to or occupancy of his or her Unit be subject to
suspension under this Section 5(b).
c. Except in the case of property damage and/or personal injury, an Owner will be
provided with at least one written warning prior to imposition of any initial fine
or fines (although repeat offenses shall not require any written warning).
d. Rule violations may also be presented to the Alternative Dispute Resolution
Committee (which shall then recommend action by the Board). However, the
Board’s decision with respect to determination of a Rule violation, issuance of
warnings or imposition of fines shall be final.
e. The Management Office staff cannot be all places at times. Therefore Owners, at
their discretion, are encouraged to diplomatically advise and inform fellow
Owners and guests of Association rules and regulations. Owners may opt to
notify Property Management of rule violations via text message to the emergency
number (609) 846-4048.
(6) OWNER CONCERNS
a. Remember Board members and Board committee members are unpaid volunteers and are
Owners who have the same right to enjoy the Condominium as any Owner. Therefore please
be respectful of their personal time and try not unduly interrupt them with Association
business. For this reason, if an Owner wishes to bring an issue to the attention of the Board
or a committee of the Board, he or she must do so in writing. The Board will review written
correspondence at their scheduled meetings.
