ARTICLE I

Section 1: ARCHITECTURAL RULES, GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES:

These guidelines represent an overall compilation of the Architectural Rules, Guidelines and

Procedures (hereinafter Guidelines) promulgated by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) from

1999 through the current issue date of May 8, 2018. These guidelines shall be periodically updated to

reflect new Guidelines as well as revisions and/or clarifications promulgated by the ARC.

This document is intended to:

A. Provide a summary compilation of Guidelines for the Homeowners of LLGCPOA to use in

planning an alteration or addition to their properties including landscaping.

B. Facilitate ARC processing of Applications for approval of New Construction or proposed

modifications including landscaping.

C. Facilitate the identification of violations of the Architectural Guidelines.

These Architectural Guidelines are not intended to include all of the detail and requirements stipulated

in the Declaration of Covenants, but rather should be considered as a supplement to the Covenants.

Accordingly, Homeowners, Architectural Committee members, and members of the Board of Directors

should thoroughly review the latest revision of the restated Declaration of Covenants as well as these

Architectural Guidelines.

Section 2: ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW APPLICATION PROCESS

Applications for approval of “Proposed Changes” to existing home and/or property shall be prepared

using an Architectural Review Request form (see Exhibit F) with pertinent sections completed by the

property owner and/or their authorized representative. The completed application form shall be

submitted along with (2) copies of appropriate attachments (e.g. plat survey, construction drawings,

landscape drawings, photographs, materials listing, colors, licenses, insurance certificates, etc.) to the

ARC Committee or Property Manager Office. Completed Applications may be submitted via e-mail to

your ARC Representative. HOA Director signature required to see if change affects their HOA budget

only.



Revision 1

Page 10 of 63

Note: All applications shall be submitted on a “completed” Architectural Review Request form (see

Exhibit F for current form). Incomplete applications shall not be considered for ARC approval.

CAUTION: THESE ARC GUIDELINES SHOULD BE REVIEWED TO ENSURE THAT

CONTRACTED PROJECTS ARE COMPLIANT WITH THESE

REQUIREMENTS.

A. The ARC shall complete their review within 45 days from the date of receipt of an acceptable

application unless the ARC requests additional information.

B. The property manager shall be responsible to (1) Notify the applicant of the ARC’s decision

(2) Mail a copy of the ARC’s decision to the applicant (3) Maintain a complete file of the

application and associated responses for the Associations’ records.

C. The property manager shall monitor construction activities to insure and confirm overall

compliance with the conditions of approval. Any deviations from the conditions of approval

observed by management shall be immediately brought to the attention of the ARC. The ARC

shall have overall responsibility to pursue final resolution of all non-compliant conditions.

D. A fee may be required to accompany an application for review (e.g. construction of new walls,

screen enclosures, etc.). Fees may be charged on a case-by-case basis if costs are incurred by

the Association in reviewing the applications.

E. The property owner shall be responsible for ensuring that all required governmental permits

and approvals and underground facilities location are secured in a timely manner and prior to

any form of installation or construction begins.

Section 3: ARC OVERVIEW, CONSIDERATIONS & EMPOWERMENT:

The ARC is empowered by the Board of Directors (hereinafter Board), to review and enforce the Rules

& Regulations that are provided for in the Covenants and By-laws. The ARC shall also enforce the Use

Restrictions as declared in the Covenants. Please refer to the Exhibits A, B, and C in the Appendix.

The Board does not approve or disapprove the ARC Guidelines. The Board has the ability to appoint the

persons who are on the ARC, but once they are appointed, they are the final decision makers. The Board

has the authority to enforce decisions of the ARC, but the Board does not have the ability to overrule.



Revision 1

Page 11 of 63

There are no restrictions on who may serve on the ARC; therefore, the Board may appoint Directors, if

the Board thinks that is appropriate.

The Board has the authority to make and enforce reasonable rules and regulations on behalf of the

association. The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, Article IX, Section 3, grant to

the Board the authority to make rules and regulations. Florida courts have held that Board adopted rules

must be reasonable, must be applied equally to all owners and residents and must not contravene or

contradict provisions of the Covenants.

The Board has empowered the ARC, to promulgate and enforce the rules and regulations. The Board is

ultimately responsible for the actions of the ARC and is empowered to conduct enforcement action, and

the ultimate enforcement process is legal action, which can only be instituted by a vote of the Board.

Accordingly, the Board of Directors reserves the right to levy fines for violations and to employ legal

action.

The power of the ARC, extends to all, “construction, which term shall include within its definition

staking, clearing, excavation, grading, and other site work, no exterior alteration or modification of

existing improvements, and no planting or removal of plants, trees, or shrubs shall take place except

in strict compliance with this Article” (Article XI, paragraph 2). Thus, the ARC has regulation power

over all construction and is not limited to electric lighting, flags, fountains, sculptures, solar collectors,

fences, underground fuel tanks, shutters, play equipment, irrigation systems, and temporary facilities

during construction, tree plantings and tree removal, etc. This Article shall not apply to the Common

Area construction made by or on behalf of the Association. Therefore, ARC has no jurisdiction or

right of review and approval regarding any changes made on Common Area (i.e., POA) property.

Section 4: PURPOSE OF ARC RULES & REGULATIONS AND USE RESTRICTIONS

The ARC’s purpose is to assist and accommodate the residents whenever possible. This style of a

community necessitates a certain degree of standardization. Each HOA committee may request the ARC

to allow certain variations within that housing area and such request must be approved or rejected by the

ARC.



Revision 1

Page 12 of 63

Please note that these guidelines are not all inclusive, and there are many items, which are not listed or

addressed. The ARC reserves the right to add, delete or modify the aforementioned. If anyone is not sure

of the proper procedure, contact your housing area ARC member.

Article III contains the “Lost Lake Golf Club Amended & Restated Declaration of Covenants,

Conditions, and Restrictions for Lost Lake Golf Club,” Article XII Use Restrictions. These are included

as they provide the basis for the Article II ARC RULES, RESTRICTIONS and STANDARDS.

Section 5: Deleted.

Section 6: USE RESTRICTIONS

The Association Use Restrictions in Article XII of our Covenants (provided in Article II herein) form

1) Per Florida Building Code, when 25 percent or more of the roof area has been

repaired, replaced or recovered in any 12-month period.

2) Alternatively, a roof inspection performed by a qualified roof engineer or consultant

can be used to determine whether a roof requires replacement.

footprint, and keep the same uniformity, The ARC will review any requests from a Housing

original landscaping existing before the storm must submit an application to the ARC for

approval.

[email protected] Gene Weber, President Double Tree Property Owners Association, Inc. 8320 5 E. Fazio Drive Hobe Sound, Florida 33455 Dear Gene: This is in response to four (4) questions, which arrived in my office last Friday by email. I will restate each question and then provide the answer. Question #1 - Article III - BOD Powers Does the BOD have the authority to make and change the Rules and Regulations? As you have pointed out, the Bylaws, Article III, grant to the Board the ability to make rules and regulations. This power is also stated in Article IX, Section 3 of the Amended Declaration (copy attached). Florida courts have held that Board adopted rules must be reasonable, must be applied equally to all owners and residents and must not contravene or contradict a provisions of the Declaration. For example, the Amended Declaration, Article XII, Section 4, states, among other things, that up to four (4) household pets may be kept in a unit. The Board could not adopt a rule changing the pet limit to three (3). Only the members, by a vote to amend, can change a clear term of the Declaration. As relates to the common property, the Board will have just about unlimited discretion to make rules, subject only to the standard of reasonableness. But as to the residential units, the Board will find its rule making ability is greatly restricted due to the use restrictions specifically stated in the Declaration. So in summary, yes the Board has the power to change rules and regulations, but not in any way that conflict with the provisions of the Declaration, specifically the use restrictions. Does your Association have a rule and regulations booklet?



Revision 1

Page 40 of 63

Page Two May 9, 2005 Question #2 - Article XI - Architectural Standards Can the BOD empower the ARC to enforce the Rules and Regulations? Are the ARC responsibilities limited to Construction items! The Board may empower the ARC, or any other committee it chooses, to enforce rules and regulations. There are two (2) issues however that the Board must consider. The first is that the Board is ultimately responsible for the actions of any committee that conducts enforcement action, and the ultimate enforcement process is legal action, which can only be instituted by a vote of the Board. If the Board does grant to a committee certain specific powers, the Board should be very clear about what the committee can and cannot do. Sending letters and contacting violators is probably appropriate for a committee, but the levy of fines or entry on property to remedy non-compliance must be done with care. Remember, the Board has the ultimate responsibility, so if the Committee errs, it will be the directors who are held legally accountable. I have enclosed with this letter an enforcement procedure adopted by another client, which utilizes a committee to address violations. While these procedures may be more complex than you seek, they provide a good outline of the kinds of direction that should be given to a committee with enforcement power. The second part of this question asks about ARC responsibilities. Again, the Board may delegate to the ARC any responsibility and power which, the Board holds. Additionally, the ARC’s responsibilities are not limited strictly to construction items. I have outlined the ARC responsibility in the answer to Question #4. Question #3 - Article XII - Use Restrictions Does the BOD have the authority to make and change Use Restrictions? Can the BOD empower the ARC to enforce the Use Restrictions? As I mentioned in the answer to Question #1, the Use Restrictions can only be changed by a vote of all the members. {See Article 13, Section 2 attached}. The Use Restrictions are “written in stone” unless a vote of the membership approves a change. Amendments to the Amended and Restated Declaration require approval of sixty-seven percent (67%) of all members, not an easy task. There are some restrictions on the kinds of amendments that can be made, so if the Board wishes to propose amendments to the members, those amendments should be prepared with legal assistance. This question also asks: “Can the BOD empower the ARC to enforce the Use Restrictions”, and again, the answer is yes subject to the same caveats given in the answer to Question #2. Page Three May 9, 2005 Question #4 - Article XII- Use Restrictions, Section 20 Section 20 and others within Article XII state that the items must be approved in accordance with Article Xl (Architectural Standards). What does that mean, only construction issues or everything? The power of the ARC extends beyond construction related items. Review by the ARC is required for any item, which refers back to Article XI. Thus, the ARC has approval power over electric lighting, flags, fountains, sculptures, solar collectors, fences, underground fuel tanks for heating, shutters, play equipment, irrigation systems, temporary facilities during construction (are there any unbuilt lots?), tree removal and



Revision 1

perhaps antennas. Please note there are additional items for ARC approval found in the Supplemental Declarations. I have not reviewed each of those, but there are some items listed in those supplemental Declarations, which must be reviewed by the ARC. If you need more detail I can go through each of those Supplemental Declarations also, but I have not done so at this time. For example, I note that some Supplemental Declarations say that mailboxes must be reviewed by the ARC.

Let’s address the ARC in just a little more detail. Article XI states that the ARC has the ability to prepare and promulgate design and development guidelines and application and review procedures. Although I have not looked at these guidelines, I know they exist because we have talked about the criteria for roofing. Please note that Article XI says that the ARC has the sole and full authority to prepare and amend those guidelines. Now again, those guidelines cannot contradict or contravene the terms of the Declaration, but most of the Use Restrictions in the Declaration are not so specific that they could not be compatible with the ARC guidelines. For example, Section 18 of Article Xl says that no window or air conditioning units can be installed. The ARC could never approve a window air conditioner because that would be a violation of the Declaration of Covenants. Now I realize the ARC probably would not want to approve a window or air conditioner, I am merely using as an example. The ARC guidelines would cover all appearance issues such as color, style, material, roof pitch, etc., none of which are covered in the Use Restrictions in the Declaration.

Please note that there is nothing in the Declaration that creates any process for appeal from the ARC to the Board of Directors. Nor does the Board get to approve or disapprove the Guidelines and Procedures. The Board has the ability to appoint the folks who are on the ARC, but once they are appointed, they are the final decision makers. The Board has the authority to enforce decisions of the ARC, but the Board does not have the ability to overrule. There are no restrictions on who may serve on the ARC; therefore, the Board may appoint Directors, if the Board thinks that is appropriate.

I want to talk about enforcement. Included within enforcement powers is the ability to levy fines. Under Florida law, once an owner has received notice of the intent to levy a fine (and that notice can come from the Board or from the ARC if the Board decides to assign that power to the ARC), then Florida law requires that the violator be offered the opportunity for a hearing before a separate hearing panel. This panel cannot include members of the Board. Your Bylaws are consistent with the requirements of Florida law and the hearing panel is called a Covenants Committee. I have attached copies of pages 13 and 14 or your Bylaws which set out that process. Under Florida law, if that process is not followed, then the fine will not be supportable if challenged.

I hope this information is helpful, but if you need anything further, please do not hesitate to give me a call.

Revision 1

Page 45 of 63

Declaration, By-Laws, or any rule or regulation shall not be deemed a waiver of the right of the Board to do so thereafter. (a) Notice. Prior to imposition of any sanction hereunder, the Board or its delegate shall serve the alleged violator with written notice describing (i) the nature of the alleged violation, (ii) the proposed sanction to be imposed, (iii) a period of not less than fourteen (14) days within which the alleged violator may present a written request to the Covenants Committee, if any, on Board of Directors for a hearing; and (iv) a statement that the proposed sanction shall be imposed as contained in the notice unless a challenge is begun within fourteen (14) days of the notice.

Prior to the effectiveness of any sanction hereunder, proof of proper notice 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, or agent who delivered such notice. The notice requirement shall be deemed satisfied if the alleged violator appears at the meeting. The minutes of the meeting shall contain a written statement of the results of the hearing and the sanction, if any, imposed. The Board of Directors or the Covenants Committee may, but shall not be obligated to, suspend any proposed sanction if the violation is cured within the fourteen (14) 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 person. (c) Appeal. Following a hearing before the Covenants Committee, the violator shall have the right to appeal the decision to the Board of Directors. To perfect this right, the manager must receive a written notice of appeal, within 14 days after the hearing date. (d) Additional Enforcement Rights.

In any such action, the maximum extent permissible, the Owner or occupant responsible for the violation of which abatement is sought shall pay all costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees actually incurred. Section 7: Covenant Committee Empowerment From time to time, certain violations must be addressed. The Board of Directors, at their May 17, 2000 meeting implemented a monetary fine policy for uncorrected violations by residents. The Board of Directors has passed the following policy for enforcement of violations. A fine of twenty-five dollars ($25) to be levied for each day of the violation but may not exceed one thousand dollars ($1000) as allowed by Florida statute. The Board has established a Covenant Committee consisting of five residents to provide a hearing for the violator, if requested within 14 days from the day the notice was received. Our community is governed by the Declaration of Covenants whose purpose is to insure quality development, protect property values, preserve the natural beauty of the property, obtain a harmonious community, and to enhance the property and investment made by the residents.

In the event that the ARC fails to approve or disapprove plans submitted to it, or to request additional information reasonably required, within forty-five (45) days after submission thereof, the plans shall be deemed approved. Section 2: No Waiver of Future Approvals. The approval of the ARC of any proposals or plans and specifications or drawings for any work done or proposed, or in connection with any other matter requiring the approval and consent of such Committee, shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any rights to withhold approval or consent as to any similar proposals, plans and specifications, drawings, or matters whatever subsequently or additionally submitted for approval or consent. Section 3: Variance. The ARC may authorize variances from compliance with any of its guidelines and procedures when circumstances such as topography, natural obstructions, hardship, or aesthetic or environmental considerations require, but only in accordance with duly adopted rules and regulations.

EXHIBIT “G” - FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

Satellite Antennas

Over-the-Air Reception Devices Rule as directed by Congress in Section 207 of the

Telecommunications Act of 1996.

“The rule (47 C.F.R. Section 1.4000) has been in effect since October 1996, and it prohibits

restrictions that impair the installation, maintenance or use of antennas used to receive video

programming. The rule applies to video antennas including direct-to-home satellite dishes that are

less than one meter (39.75”) in diameter (or any size in Alaska), TV antennas, and wireless cable

antennas. The rule prohibits most restrictions that: (1) unreasonably delay or prevent installation,

maintenance or use; (2) unreasonably increase the cost of installation, maintenance or use; or (3)

preclude reception of an acceptable quality signal.”

“The rule applies to individuals who place antennas that meet size limitations on property that

they own or rent and that is within their exclusive use or control, including condominium owners

and cooperative owners, and tenants who have an area where they have exclusive use, such as a

balcony or patio, in which to install the antenna. The rule applies to townhomes and manufactured

homes, as well as to single family homes.”

“The rule does not apply to common areas that are owned by a landlord, a community association,

or jointly by condominium or cooperative owners where the antenna user does not have an

exclusive use area.”

Pursuant to Section 1.4000 of the Over-the-Air Reception Devices Rule, (47 C.F.R. 1.4000),

and Section 1.2 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. 1.2, the following guidelines of the

Architectural Review Committee of Lost Lake Property Owners Association are set forth

herein.

These guidelines do not impose unreasonable expense or delay or preclude reception of an

acceptable quality signal. Digital antennas, even in the presence of sufficient over-the-air signal

strength, will at times provide no picture or sound unless they are placed and oriented properly.

1. Placement of antenna(s) must be within the area of exclusive control of the homeowner.



Revision 1

Page 57 of 63

2. Placement of antenna(s) shall not encroach upon property owned by the LLGCPOA.

3. Placement of antenna(s) shall not encroach upon the private property of another homeowner.

4. Antenna(s) shall not be placed upon LLGCPOA property.

5. Antenna(s) that protrude above the roof line shall be attached so as to withstand sustained winds

of 140 mph.

6. Antenna(s) that protrude above the roof line (also known as stick antennas) shall be mounted on

retractable poles (sticks) that shall be lowered if the homeowner is absent from the home for the

months during the hurricane season. This guideline (6) is to provide for the safety of adjacent

homes and homeowners relative to the close proximity of homes in LLGCPOA.

7. Antenna(s) shall NOT be placed on common walls or common roofs of attached homes.

8. Antenna(s) shall NOT be placed upon any dividing wall or other common area in LLGCPOA.

9. The recommended placement of antenna(s) is at the rear of the home so as not to be visible from

the street.

Homeowners that comply with these guidelines may install an antenna at any time without prior

approval of the ARC or any other LLGCPOA official. Any questions regarding these guidelines

should be addressed to the ARC by contacting the ARC Chair or your HOA ARC representative.

Please review your individual home legal description conveyed to you during closing on your

property. This survey will provide you specific dimensions regarding your property footprint and

should be consulted prior to deciding on placement of your antenna. Do not rely on your “over-the-

air” antenna installation contractor to be knowledgeable of the legal property description of your

home.

These guidelines replace and supersede all existing ARC guidelines regarding “Over-the-Air Reception Devices” of LLGCPOA. Approved: November 15, 2012 LLGCPOA Architectural Review Committee Distributed to all homeowners by HOA Directors, Channel 63 message, and posting to bulletin boards - in Compliance with FCC rule (47 C.F.R. Section 1.4000).
