POOL GATE ACCESS

Thank you in advance for adhering to these guidelines and helping to preserve the integrity of the Avalon Pool.

All members must enter the pool with their own registered property keycard.

Do not let in other guests not with your party and of any age – even if you know them, even if they are your neighbor, even if they say they’ve lost their card, even if their hands are full, even if, etc. (Emergency / 911 exempted.) There is a sign inside the pool gates. Keycards are deactivated for specific reasons, and if a keycard has malfunctioned or is damaged, it is up to the member to contact the HOA for purchase replacement. (205-540-6204 or [email protected]) Letting in non-authorized persons or persons into the pool and not in your party may result in the suspension of pool privileges and keycard access. If guests come to the gate and say they are with a member already inside the gate, that member should be the party to come and receive his/her guest. Your opening the gate for that party makes you responsible for them. Once inside the gate, do not open the gate for other guests not in your party, and do not let in other guests as you are leaving the pool. If guests should ask you to open the gate so they can enter, please instruct them they must use their own card or simply ignore the request. Do not allow guests not in your party to ‘tail-gate’ in after you as you are entering. If other guests are approaching the gate for entry as you are starting to leave the pool, allow them to first use their keycard to enter before you leave through the gate. When you do leave, please make sure the gate has closed firmly behind you. Children already inside the pool gates especially seem to enjoy punching open the green button to open the gate. Please do not allow your children to do this or you become responsible for these new guests. Do not climb on the gate or fence.

REMINDER: If you let in others not in your party – they are now your guests and your responsibility/liability, including any damages that may be caused by these guests. It also may cause your pool keycard to be deactivated and pool privileges suspended. Please let

the pool access system do its work!

Avalon Residential Association, Inc. COVENANT & RULES ENFORCEMENT POLICY

WHEREAS the Declaration of Protective Covenants for Avalon (the “Covenants”), the Articles of Incorporation, and the Bylaws of Avalon Residential Association Inc. (the “Bylaws”) (collectively, the “governing documents”) provide for the management of the affairs of the Avalon Residential Association Inc. (the “Association”) a nonprofit corporation formed under the laws of the State of Alabama, and WHEREAS, the governing documents provide for the Board of Directors the right to enforce said Declaration, Bylaws and rules and regulations of the Association, AND WHEREAS, it is the intent of the Board to maintain an attractive, harmonious community in which residents and guests enjoy the use of the community, grounds and facilities; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the following the Covenant & Rules Enforcement Policy and procedures will be implemented to address covenant violations and rules enforcement:

1. FINE SCHEDULE: The Association will send non-compliance notices (which may include letters, notices or invoices) to Avalon Homeowners whose homes and/or property are in a condition that violates the Covenants and rules/guidelines. If corrective action is not taken as outlined in the violation letter, or if subsequent violation letter(s) are sent to the homeowner relating to the same violation, the following fines will be instituted (subsequent notices may be invoices):

First notice of non-compliance: $0 (Courtesy notice) Second notice of non-compliance: $25 Third notice of non-compliance: $50 & matter sent to Association attorney

The schedule will be applied to notices sent for a violation during a 12-mo. period unless otherwise prescribed by the Board. Beyond this time frame, further corrective action will be taken pursuant to the authority as authorized in the governing documents. For emergency, untypical/irregular, recurrent, and/or unresolved compliance and rules issues, a minimum fine of $25/per day may be charged until correction and as directed by the Board. The Board reserves the right to accelerate the fine schedule process.

2. HOMEOWNER’S TENANT-RESIDENTS: Avalon Homeowners are directly responsible for their Avalon properties and are also responsible for their guests and tenant-residents/guests. Upon receipt of a covenant violation letter and/or other notification of a violation or rules infraction from the Association, Homeowner and/or homeowner property manager must immediately contact the tenant-resident to correct any violations caused by the actions or inactions of the tenant-resident noted and direct the tenant-resident to immediately and continuously comply with Avalon covenants and rules. Otherwise, the Homeowner shall correct the covenant violations brought to his or her attention within the time period set forth by the Association. Avalon Homeowner shall be responsible for payment of any fines imposed by the Association and shall also be responsible for all legal fees incurred by the Association in its effort to bring the Avalon properties into compliance with the governing documents.

3. DISPUTE OF VIOLATION or RULES: Upon receipt of a covenant violation letter, Homeowner may dispute a violation notice in writing as instructed in the covenant violation letter. Homeowner will be offered the opportunity to request a dispute resolution meeting with the Board of Directors or representatives appointed by the Board of Directors to resolve the dispute. Homeowners are reminded that the purpose of a dispute letter or meeting is to provide an opportunity for them to show why the violation, rules or procedures do not apply to them or why no violation has taken place. The Board or Board-appointed representatives will then determine if a violation has taken place and/or if a modification to the rules or procedures is appropriate in the specific case. The Board and/or Board-appointed representatives will notify the Homeowner of its findings in writing. The Board and/or Board-appointed representatives will also determine whether the imposition of a fine is appropriate and, if it is, shall assess a fine against the Homeowner for the violation. Should Homeowner fail to request a meeting within 7 business days of the third letter and/or fail to attend a scheduled meeting, the matter will be immediately turned over to the Association attorney without further notice to Homeowner. Additionally, the Board may waive all, or any portion of, the fines if, in its sole discretion, such waiver is appropriate under the circumstances.

4. AMENITY PRIVILEGES: The Association may, in its discretion, suspend pool and clubhouse privileges of all Homeowners who: (a) have not paid their annual assessments or plan payments ; (b) have not paid fines imposed by the Board or Board-appointed representative; (c) have failed to correct covenant violation(s) after being provided with written notice of such violation(s); and/or (d) have violated clubhouse or pool rules or guidelines.

The Avalon Board of Directors reserves the right to revise, amend, alter, and/or change the policy and violation fine schedule from time to time, as required, to encourage covenant compliance and preserve the architectural and aesthetic appearance of the community.
