a.? ? ? ? ? ?  All electrical service and telephone lines from the utility company lines shall be placed underground and no outside electrical and telephone lines shall be placed overhead.?  This requirement may be waived by the Board; provided, however, that one such waiver shall not constitute a waiver as to other lots or lines.

? 

b.? ? ? ? ?  Where sewer, if any, water or other public utility facilities have been installed to or near the property line of a particular lot, for the purpose of providing service to that lot, the service connection to service an improvement on that lot shall be made at and from the installed facility or point assigned by the Approving Agent only.

25.?  An easement upon and over the ten-foot perimeter of the original Catalina Del Sol Lots 1 through 71, inclusive, was reserved to the Grantor and maintained by the Association for utility purposes, with access thereto for installing, repairing and maintaining all facilities necessary for such purposes.?  The Association may assign any portion of this easement rights to any other person or persons for the purposes specified, but all of the utilities shall be installed in such a manner as not to disturb or change existing structures.?  Subsequently by terms of the Release, all right, title and interest in and to the reservation of this easement as to Lots 1 through 14 of Catalina Del Sol Resubdivision (originally referred to as Catalina del Sol Lots 30 through 35) ONLY were released.? 

?

The Owner of any unkempt lot, landscaping or structure/improvement considered to be in a state of disrepair shall, after a hearing held by the Board and upon receipt of written notice from the Board, cause repairs to be made within a reasonable period of time, normally within sixty days, or as otherwise required by the Board.

ARTICLE IV

? 

1.? ? ? ? ?  Grantor has formed, under the laws of the State of Arizona, a non-profit, homeowner?’s corporation, referred to herein as the Association (according to the terms of the Articles of Incorporation).?  Grantor was given the right at Grantor?’s sole option at any time to assign or otherwise transfer to the Association all or any number of the rights, powers and duties retained by Grantor under this Declaration.?  Grantor did subsequently transfer, assign and set over into the Association all of Grantor?’s rights, powers and duties under the Declaration, and the Grantor reserved to itself no such rights, powers or duties (according to the terms of the Assignment).?  Thereupon, it is currently the responsibility of the Association to exercise said rights and powers and perform said duties to further the purposes for which the Association is organized.? 

? 

2.? ? ? ? ?  Said Association was formed for the general purpose of providing for maintenance, preservation and architectural control of the property of the Owners and the Association; and promoting the health, safety and welfare of the owners, and for these purposes to exercise the rights, powers and perform the duties assigned to it by Grantor and granted to it by the Articles of Incorporation of the Association.

? 

3.? ? ? ? ?  Each Owner as defined by this Declaration shall automatically become a Member of the Association; provided, however, that the Board of Directors of the Association may establish additional requirements for maintaining such membership.?  Where Owner as defined by this Declaration includes more than one person or entity, such persons or entities shall be deemed one Member.?  Each Member shall be entitled to one vote, unless the number of votes is otherwise provided for in the declaration applicable to the Owner?’s Building Site.

? 

4.? ? ? ? ?  The Owner of each lot bound by this Declaration shall pay to the Association within ten (10) days from receipt of an invoice a sum equal to the total of the following:

a.? ? ? ? ? ?  The pro rata share of the actual cost to the Association which in the judgment of the Association are incurred to promote the preservation and architectural control of said property and the health, safety and welfare of the Owners, and professional fees incurred by the Association in connection therewith, to the extent such costs and other expenses are not covered by funds theretofore collected and reserved for such purpose.?  This specifically includes funds to hire an attorney to enforce deed restrictions.

b.? ? ? ? ?  The pro rata share of the estimated future costs and expenses listed on subparagraph a above which the Association determines shall be necessary to collect in advance and which are not covered by funds theretofore collected and reserved for such purposes.

c.? ? ? ? ? ?  The proration of the total of such costs and expenses shall be made on the basis that each lot will bear an equivalent share of such charges.

? 

5.? ? ? ? ?  The total amount for such assessments against any single lot for any calendar year shall not exceed the sum of $100.00, provided, however, the stated annual maximum sum assessed against each lot may be increased with the approval of the Association.

? 

6.? ? ? ? ?  Invoices for payment of any and all assessments may be submitted monthly or at any other interval as may be fixed by the Association.?  In the event any such invoice is mailed to the Building Site, the amount of such invoice shall be and become a lien upon the Building Site against which such assessment was levied.?  Such lien may be enforced and foreclosed as provided for the enforcement and foreclosure of mechanics?’ and materialmen?’s liens in Arizona.

? 

7.? ? ? ? ?  The lien for such assessments shall be subordinate to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust made in good faith for value covering the same property or a portion of the same property against which said assessment or assessments are made, which mortgage or deed of trust is recorded prior to recordation of the claim for such assessments, but the liens of such assessments shall be binding and effective against any party who owns any such property during the period for which such an assessment is made even though the title of such party is acquired through foreclosure, forfeiture, trustee?’s sale or otherwise.

? 

8.? ? ? ? ?  ? 

a.? ? ? ? ? ?  The officers, Directors and committee members of the Association shall not be legally liable for any acts or omissions in the course of Association business, except to the extent the person failed to act in good faith or in violation of the applicable standard of care.

ARTICLE V

? 

1.? ? ? ? ?  Any or all of the provisions, conditions, covenants, restrictions and reservations herein are subject to waiver by the Association and any such waiver may apply at the option of the Board to less than all of the lots without waiver of such provisions, conditions, covenants, restrictions and reservations as to any other lot or lots.

? 

2.? ? ? ? ?  The Association shall have the right, from time to time, to make any changes it desires in these conditions and restrictions which it deems beneficial to the owners of the majority of the lots bound by them.

? 

3.? ? ? ? ?  In the event that any one or more of the conditions, restrictions, and covenants herein set forth and contained or any changes made therein shall be declared for any reason, by any court of competent jurisdiction, to be null and void, such judgment or decree shall not in any manner whatsoever affect, modify, change, abrogate or nullify any of said conditions, restrictions and covenants not so expressly held to be void, but all the remaining conditions, restrictions, and covenants not so declared to be void shall continue unimpaired and in full force and effect.

? 

4.? ? ? ? ?  In the event it is held by any court of competent jurisdiction that the period specified in paragraph 1 of ARTICLE VI is in violation of the rule against perpetuities in Arizona, then and in such event the period specified in said paragraph shall thereupon be automatically modified so that the period specified therein is not more than twenty-one years from the date of this Declaration.

? 

? 

ARTICLE VI

? 

1.? ? ? ? ?  All of the aforesaid provisions, conditions, covenants, restrictions and reservations shall continue and remain in full force and effect at all times as against the owner of any portion of said property, however his title thereto may be acquired, until the commencement of the calendar year 2002, and shall be automatically continued thereafter for successive periods of ten years each; provided the holders of record title of a majority of the lots subject to these restrictions may, by executing and acknowledging appropriate agreement or agreements in writing for such purpose and recording the same at any time at least one year prior to January 1, 2002, release all of the land so restricted from any one or more of said restrictions or may release any of the property subject to these restrictions from any one or more of said restrictions, said release, change or modification to be effective January 2, 2002.?  During each successive ten-year period after January 1, 2002, a majority of record title holders shall have the same power to release, change or modify said restrictions as to any property then covered by said restrictions by executing, acknowledging and recording an appropriate agreement or agreements at least one year prior to expiration of said ten-year period, said release, change or modification to be effective at expiration of said ten-year period.

? 

2.? ? ? ? ?  ? 

a.? ? ? ? ? ?  A breach of any of the conditions, covenants, restrictions and reservations hereby established shall cause the title to the Building Site upon which said breach occurs to revert to the Association, as the owner of such reversionary rights herein provided for and the owner of such reversionary rights shall have the right to immediate re-entry upon such real estate in the event of any such breach and as to each lot owner in said property the said provisions, conditions, covenants, restrictions and reservations shall be covenants running with the land and the breach of any thereof or the continuance of any such breach may be enjoined or remedied by appropriate proceedings by the owner of the reversionary rights or his assignee or by any owner of any property for whose benefit these restrictions have been established, but by no other person.

b.? ? ? ? ?  An Owner of any lot who permits the breach of any of these conditions, restrictions and covenants by himself/herself or by persons over whom he or she exercises either direct or indirect control shall be given at least ten (10) days written notices, by first class mail sent to his/her last known address or personal service, to remedy said breach.?  If such breach is not remedied as provided, the Association shall have the right to record a written Notice of Noncompliance by any Owner, resident and/or tenant of any restriction or provisions of the CC&Rs and Rules and Regulations. The notice shall be executed and acknowledged by an officer of the Association and shall contain substantially the following information:?  (1) the name of the Owner, resident and/or tenant;?  (2) the legal description of the lot against which the notice is being recorded;?  (3) a brief description of the nature of the noncompliance;?  (4) a statement that the notice is being recorded by the Association pursuant to this Declaration; and?  (5) a statement of the specific steps which must serve as a notice to the Owner, resident and/or tenant to cure the noncompliance. Recording of a Notice of Noncompliance shall serve as a notice to the Owner, resident and/or tenant, and to any subsequent purchaser of the lot, that there is such a noncompliance.?  If, after the recording of such notice, it is determined by the Association that the noncompliance referred to in the notice does not exist or that the noncompliance referred to in the notice has been cured, the Association shall record a Notice of Compliance which shall state the legal description of the lot against which the Notice of Noncompliance was recorded, the recording date of the Notice of Noncompliance, and shall state that the noncompliance referred to in the Notice of Noncompliance has been cured or, if such be the case, that it did not exist.?  This notice may place a cloud on the title to the property, which may limit an Owner?’s ability to convey full legal title to said property.?  Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit any other remedy available at law or equity for breach of the covenants.?  Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure by the Association to record a Notice of Noncompliance shall not constitute a waiver of any existing noncompliance or evidence that no noncompliance exists.

c.? ? ? ? ? ?  The breach of any of the foregoing conditions, covenants, restrictions or reservations or any re-entry by reason of such breach, shall not affect or render invalid the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust made in good faith for value as to any lot or lots or portions of lots in said property, but said conditions, covenants, restrictions and reservations shall be binding upon and effective against any party acquiring title to any such property, whose title thereto or whose grantor?’s title is or was acquired by foreclosure, trustee?’s sale or otherwise.

? 

3.? ? ? ? ?  Although the provisions, conditions, covenants, restrictions and reservations may be modified or terminated as provided herein, any and all reversions for breach of said provisions, conditions, covenants, restrictions and reservations committed or suffered prior to said expiration shall be absolute.

? 

4.? ? ? ? ?  In the event the Association incurs attorney?’s fees, court costs or other expenses in enforcing the Association?’s rights under this Declaration, said costs and expenses shall be paid by the Owner, trustee or owner of an interest in any of the property hereinabove described committing or permitting the breach giving rise to such costs and expenses, and the Association shall have a lien upon such lot or lots to secure payment of all such amounts.?  Such lien may be enforced and foreclosed as provided for the enforcement and foreclosure of mechanic?’s and materialman?’s liens in Arizona.

? 

5.? ? ? ? ?  No delay or omission on the part of the Association or the Owner of other lots in said property in exercising any right, power or remedy herein provided shall be construed as a waiver thereof or acquiescence in any breach hereof; and no right of action shall accrue nor shall any action be brought or maintained by anyone on account of any breach hereof or for imposing restrictions herein which may be unenforceable.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
