  1. FPPOA Covenants and By Laws Proposed Revisions Furey Plantation Home Owners’ Association (hereafter referred to as FPPOA)

  2. Your FPPOA Board felt… The current Covenants and Bylaws were badly out-of-date and needed to be revised to be more effective in the future.

  3. The current Covenants are 26 years old. • “The Developer” is mentioned 109 times, and there is no longer a Developer. Focus of present document is on protecting the Developer’s interests. • Assessment process has changed. • Discussion on common property no longer applicable. Lakes’ ownership and maintenance for example. • Other outdated issues—like large satellite dishes, and on-street parking • Current document is confusing and wordy. • There is no minimum dwelling size.

  4. Covenants Protect Our Property Value • Streamlining and updating the Covenants will make them easier to understand and help ensure compliance. • By making them more relevant, we are strengthening our home owners’ association and its ability to protect our neighborhood.

  5. By-Laws Need to be Revised • We have restructured the document to reflect the purpose of the By-Laws, their administration and the function of Furey Plantation Property Owners Association. • Removed information already in Covenants to simplify document. The Covenants are the legal requirements for our properties. • Added option for the Furey Plantation Property Owner Board to retain non-voting “advisors.” • Streamlined the required “Committees” to two. • Moved dwelling size requirements to the Covenants.

  6. Summary • We have not suggested any radical changes. • We simplified much of the wording, corrected typos and grammatical errors. • This presentation deals primarily with the changes from the old documents to the newly proposed. • The full documents are available to anyone who wants to read through them line-by-line, and will be posted to www.fureyplantation.com.

  7. Summary of Proposed Changes Remember the complete documents are available online at www.fureyplantation.com

  8. PRIMARY CHANGE—Replacing “The Developer” with “The Association” • THIS DECLARATION, made this 21st day of December, 1987, by Furey Development, Inc., hereinafter called "Developer.” • THIS AMENDED and RESTATED DECLARATION is made this _____day of __________, 2______, by FUREY PLANTATION PROPERTY OWNERS' ASSOCIATION, INC., hereinafter referred to as "ASSOCIATION.” All references and requirements for the “Developer” are deleted.

  9. Other Changes • Simplified the list of activities requiring Architectural Control Committee approval. • Detailed the process for obtaining Architectural Control Committee approval. • Inserted a minimum dwelling unit size of 2700 square feet. • Changed the size of trees to be removed requiring ACC approval from 4 to 12 inches in circumference. • Increased the size of trucks permitted to be parked in residential driveways from ½ ton to ¾ ton. • Listed vehicle types permitted.

  10. Other Changes 2 • Annual assessments versus monthly assessments. • Removed authorization of Furey Plantation Property Owners’ Association Board to mortgage common property. • Removed outdated provisions on ownership transfer of the ponds or lakes. • Removed provisions for restricting use of roadways, as the roads are now public rights-of-ways. • Removed provisions for transferring community property to public and private utilities.

  11. Other Changes 3 • Limits FPPOA Board of Directors’ ability to suspend owner privileges for failure to pay assessment(s). • Changed the response time for payment of Association-required trash removal from 10 days to 30 days. • Increased FPPOA Board authorized spending level without general membership approval from $1,000 to $2,500. • Added a requirement for pet owners to clean up after their pets.

  12. What Do We Need From You? • Any concerns you have with the changes. • Indication of agreement or disagreement with planned changes. The documents will require some expenses for a Lawyer to review and file. We do not want to spend the money unless the changes are supported.

  13. Time Spent • Your Furey Plantation Board members created a subcommittee to begin the process of new Covenant and Bylaw approval. • This Committee consists of the entire FPPOA Board and Larry Tiller. • The FPPOA Covenants and Bylaws have been studied line-by-line throughout this year in many different meetings.
